Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

The information set forth in Items 3, 4 and 5 hereof is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 6.

 

BBU and its affiliates beneficially own all of the issued and outstanding class B multiple voting shares of the Issuer, which represent a 75% voting interest in the Issuer, and all of the issued and outstanding class C non-voting shares of the Issuer, which entitle BBU to all of the residual value in the Issuer after payment in full of the amount due to holders of Class A Shares and class B shares of the Issuer and subject to the prior rights of holders of preferred shares of the Issuer. Together, Brookfield and BBU hold an approximate 91.2% voting interest in the Issuer.

 

Brookfield, the Issuer and BBU have entered into a registration rights agreement, dated as of March 15, 2022 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuer has agreed that, upon the request of Brookfield, the Issuer will file one or more registration statements or prospectuses to register for sale and qualify for distribution under applicable securities laws any Class A Shares held by Brookfield. The Issuer has also agreed to pay expenses in connection with such registration and sales and will indemnify Brookfield for material misstatements or omissions in a registration statement.

 

The Issuer has also entered into an equity commitment agreement, dated as of March 15, 2022 (the “Equity Commitment Agreement”) with a subsidiary of BBU pursuant to which BBU or one of its affiliates will provide to the Issuer an equity commitment in the amount of $2 billion. The equity commitment may be called by the Issuer in exchange for the issuance of a number of class C shares or preferred shares (as defined below), as the case may be, to BBU, corresponding to the amount of the equity commitment called divided (i) in the case of a subscription for class C shares, by the volume-weighted average of the trading price for one Class A Share on the principal stock exchange on which our exchangeable shares are listed for the five (5) days immediately preceding the date of the call, and (ii) in the case of a subscription for preferred shares, $25.00. The equity commitment will be available in minimum amounts of $10 million and the amount available under the equity commitment will be reduced permanently by the amount so called. Before funds may be called on the equity commitment, a number of conditions precedent must be met, including that BBU continues to control the Issuer and has the ability to elect a majority of its board of directors.

 

Further, pursuant to the articles of the Issuer (the “Articles”), (a) holders of Class A Shares are entitled to exchange their Class A Shares for an equivalent number of limited partnership units of BBU (“BBU Units”) (subject to adjustment to reflect certain capital events) or its cash equivalent (the form of payment to be determined at the election of the Issuer) at any time and (b) BBU may elect to satisfy the Issuer’s exchange obligation by acquiring such tendered Class A Shares for an equivalent number of BBU Units (subject to adjustment to reflect certain capital events) or its cash equivalent. Consequently, as of March 15, 2022, BBU may receive up to 73,008,085 Class A Shares in accordance with the terms of the Class A Shares. Wilmington Trust, National Association (the “Rights Agent”) and Brookfield have entered into the Rights Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which Brookfield has agreed that it will, under certain circumstances, satisfy, or cause to be satisfied, the obligations pursuant to the Articles to exchange Class A Shares for BBU Units or its cash equivalent. Consequently, as of March 15, 2022, Brookfield may receive up to 73,008,085 Class A Shares in accordance with the terms of the Rights Agreement (or 25,763,208 if only Class A Shares not owned by Brookfield are exchanged for BBU Units). The term of the Rights Agreement is until March15, 2027 (and as will be automatically renewed for successive periods of two years thereafter, unless Brookfield provides the Rights Agent with written notice of termination in accordance with the terms of the Rights Agreement).

 

 

Additionally, the amended and restated master services agreement dated as of May 11, 2020 amongst Brookfield, BBU and Brookfield Business L.P., amongst others, was amended on March 15, 2022 to provide that, so long as Brookfield is a party to the Rights Agreement, Brookfield shall have a consent right prior to the issuance by the Issuer of any Class A Shares, subject to certain exceptions.

 

On February 4, 2022, Brookfield entered into a commitment agreement with BBU (the “Brookfield Commitment Agreement”) pursuant to which Brookfield agreed to subscribe for up to $1 billion of 6% perpetual preferred equity securities of BBU, the Issuer or their respective subsidiaries. Proceeds will be available to draw upon for future growth opportunities as they arise. Brookfield will have the right to cause BBU or the Issuer to redeem certain preferred securities at par to the extent that BBU or the Issuer have available cash, including any net proceeds received by BBU or the Issuer from any issuance of equity, incurrence of indebtedness or sale of assets. Brookfield has the right to waive its redemption option.

 

The foregoing summaries of the Registration Rights Agreement, Equity Commitment Agreement, Rights Agreement, Brookfield Commitment Agreement, and the Articles described in this Item 6 do not purport to be complete and, as such, are qualified in their entirety by the Registration Rights Agreement, the Equity Commitment Agreement, the Rights Agreement, and the Articles set forth in Exhibits 99.2, 99.3, 99.4, and 99.5, respectfully hereto and incorporated in this Item 6 by reference.
