Legacy Acquisition Corp. proposes to combine with Onyx Enterprises Int’l Corp. Onyx is the owner and operator of, among other verticals, “CARiD.com,” a leading digital commerce platform for the automotive aftermarket. Upon the closing of the transaction, Legacy will change its name to PARTS iD, Inc. and is expected to remain listed on the NYSE.

Onyx has developed a proprietary technology platform for digital commerce and fulfillment, relying on insights extracted from over 14 billion data points related to car parts, a physical footprint network comprising over 2,500 shipping locations, nearly 5,000 active brands, and machine-learning algorithms for complex fitment industries such as vehicle parts and accessories. Onyx’s proprietary fitment data and algorithms used in CARiD.com and other such verticals (such as MOTORCYCLEiD, TRUCKiD and BOATiD) compiled over the past decade, combined with its substantial investments in artificial intelligence and machine learning, provide online consumers with an enhanced user experience featuring a breadth of offerings and service levels (including search capabilities, training and learning, and provision of data to suppliers to enhance their product information), positioning it as a leader in the $400+ billion auto aftermarket industry.

Onyx Investment Highlights

  • Tech-enabled digital commerce platform focused on transforming the automotive aftermarket parts industry and related industry verticals.
  • Ideally positioned to capitalize on the surge in eCommerce adoption and digital enablement of industry supply chains.
  • Highly scalable business driven by a low-cost structure and a capital-efficient inventory model.
  • Untapped automotive aftermarket opportunity of $400+ billion with additional large value streams ready to be unlocked.

TRANSACTION

Legacy will acquire

  • (i) all of the outstanding shares of preferred stock of Onyx for an aggregate of $20.0 million cash, and
  • (ii) all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Onyx for an aggregate of approximately $265.0 million (or approximately 26.5 million) in shares of Class A common stock of Legacy.
  • The consideration payable with respect to Onyx’s common stock would be subject to adjustment, including based on Onyx’s net working capital and related transaction expenses at closing.

In connection with the signing of the business combination agreement, Legacy’s sponsor, Legacy Sponsor I, LLC (its “Sponsor”), has delivered to Onyx a sponsor support agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the sponsor has agreed to

  • (i) vote in favor of the transactions contemplated by the business combination agreement,
  • (ii) forfeit 3,000,000 of its shares of Legacy’s Class F common stock, and
  • (iii) forfeit 14,587,770 of its private placement warrants to purchase shares of Legacy’s Class A common stock, each as partial consideration for deferred shares to be later issued by Legacy to Sponsor pursuant to the terms of the sponsor support agreement.
  • In addition, the Sponsor may forfeit up to a maximum of 3,250,000 additional shares of Legacy’s Class A common stock based on the gross amount of cash held by Legacy immediately prior to closing and the extent to which Legacy’s transaction expenses exceed $16.4 million;
    • provided that the Sponsor shall have the ability to earn back up to 50% of such additional forfeited shares based on the average trading share price of Legacy’s Class A common stock over a 730 calendar day period immediately following closing.

WARRANT SUPPORT AGREEMENT

Legacy entered into warrant holder support agreements with the holders of approximately 19,500,000 (or approximately 65%) of Legacy’s warrants sold as part of the units in its initial public offering, to provide for certain amendments (the “Warrant Amendments”) to the Warrant Agreement

The Warrant Amendments will provide, among other things, that:

  • each outstanding public warrant and 2,912,230 outstanding warrants issued to the Sponsor in the private placement that closed simultaneously with Legacy’s initial public offering but which are beneficially owned by certain institutional investors of Sponsor shall no longer be exercisable to purchase one-half share of Class A common stock of Legacy for $5.75 per half-share and instead shall be converted solely into the right to receive
    • (i) if, at the closing of the proposed transaction with Onyx, the aggregate gross cash in the trust fund, plus the aggregate gross proceeds received by Legacy pursuant to any financing is at least equal to $60,000,000, $0.35 in cash and 0.065 of a share of Class A Common Stock of Legacy,
    • (ii) if, at the closing of the proposed transaction with Onyx, the aggregate gross cash in the trust fund, plus the aggregate gross proceeds received by Legacy pursuant to any financing is less than $60,000,000, but at least equal to $44,000,000, $0.25 in cash and 0.075 of a share of Class A Common Stock of Legacy, or
    • (iii) if, at the closing of the proposed transaction with Onyx, the aggregate gross cash in the trust fund, plus the aggregate gross proceeds received by Legacy pursuant to any financing is less than $44,000,000, $0.18 in cash and 0.082 of a share of Class A Common Stock of Legacy.
    • As the Warrant Amendments require the approval by holders of at least 65% of Legacy’s public warrants, the Warrant Holder Support Agreements principally assure the vote in favor of the Warrant Amendments and, therefore, Legacy expects that the Warrant Amendments will be approved.
  • In connection with the Warrant Amendments, Legacy’s Sponsor has agreed to forfeit 14,587,770 private placement warrants held by it of record and beneficially owned by it.
  • Certain institutional investors of Sponsor, who are the beneficial owners of the remaining 2,912,230 private placement warrants in the aggregate (which are held of record by the Sponsor), will receive the same consideration as the public warrants;
    • provided, that if such beneficial owners cease to beneficially own any of such private placement warrants for any reason, such Private Placement Warrants shall revert back to the Sponsor and shall be forfeited.

NOTABLE CONDITIONS TO CLOSING

  • Mailing of the information statement to Legacy’s stockholders at least twenty (20) days prior to the closing

NOTABLE CONDITIONS TO TERMINATION

  • By either Legacy or Onyx if closing has not occurred by November 20, 2020

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS #1

On December 2, 2019, a side letter was executed regarding the forfeiture of Founder Shares in the event of trust redemptions:

  • If at the closing, the fund is trusts will be less than $270,000,000, then the Sponsor will surrender and forfeit its Class F Shares as calculated:
    • one (1) share of Class F common stock of the Purchaser for each $40 shortfall in the amount of funds available in the Trust Fund below $270,000,000, up to a maximum of 3,750,000 Forfeited Class F Shares.
    • For example, if after giving effect to the exercise of redemption rights by the redeeming stockholders of the Purchaser the amount of funds available in the Trust Fund at the time of the consummation of the Transactions is $260,000,000, then the number of Forfeited Class F Shares to be surrendered and forfeited by the Sponsor Designee shall be 250,000. (270,000,000 – 260,000,000 = 10,000,000/40 = 250,000)
  • Legacy Sponsor currently own 7,500,000 Founder shares (at IPO) and 17,500,000 private placement warrants

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS #2

On March 13, 2020, Legacy announced changes to its Share Exchange Agreement with Blue Impact, as well as a proposal to amend its public warrants.  

As a result of the changes outlined below, the pro forma enterprise value has been reduced from $592 million to $559 million.  This represents a change in the EV/2020 Adjusted EBITDA multiple from 7.1x to the current 6.67x. It’s important to note that Blue Impact is still projecting an estimated 2020 EBITDA number of $83.8 million. That figure has not changed since their initial presentation was filed back in December 2019.

Share Exchange Agreement Amendment

  • A reduction of 6,500,000 shares of Legacy’s common stock which would have been outstanding immediately following the Closing under the terms of the previously announced business combination:
    • The shares of Legacy’s common stock payable to the Seller at the closing of the business combination (the “Closing”) will be reduced from 30,000,000 to 27,000,000 shares.
    • The Sponsor will cancel 3,500,000 outstanding shares of Legacy’s common stock.
  • The Seller will be granted the right to receive such 3,000,000 shares of Legacy’s common stock after the Closing (the “Seller Post-Closing Shares”):
    • If post-Closing Legacy’s stock has a volume weighted average trading price of at least $20 per share for any 30 day period or,
    • If Legacy is sold for a share price of at least $20 per share after the Closing, or
    • Upon the 10th anniversary of the Closing.
  • The Sponsor will be granted the right to receive up to 2,000,000 shares of Legacy’s common stock after the Closing (the “Sponsor Post-Closing Shares”) as follows:
    • 1,000,000 shares, if post-Closing Legacy’s stock has a volume weighted average trading price of at least $15 per share for any 30 day period or if Legacy is sold for a share price of at least $15 per share after the Closing and
    • 1,000,000 shares, if post-Closing Legacy stock has a volume weighted average trading price of at least $20 per share for any 30 day period or if Legacy is sold for a share price of at least $20 per share after the Closing;
    • The maximum number of Sponsor Post-Closing Shares that the Sponsor can receive is 2,000,000.

Warrant Agreement Amendment 

Legacy has 30,000,000 public warrants and 17,500,000 private placement warrants outstanding, each entitling a holder thereof the right to acquire 0.5 of a share of common stock at an exercise price of $5.75. Legacy has obtained voting agreements from a limited number of holders of its public warrants (holding approximately 65.9% of the outstanding public warrants) agreeing to vote in favor of an amendment of the warrant agreement under which the public and private placement warrants were issued.

Since there were three warrant holder support agreements filed, we know the names of at least three institutions that have agreed to vote yes on the warrant vote, totaling 4,270,002 public warrants:

Under the warrant agreement amendment, at or as promptly as practicable after the Closing each public warrant will be cancelled in exchange for:

  • $1.00 in cash per warrant, if the aggregate gross cash proceeds from the trust (after redemptions) and any PIPE Financing equals at least $225 million or,
  • $0.50 in cash and 0.055 shares of common stock per warrant, if otherwise. 

Lastly, Legacy’s Sponsor has also agreed that with respect to their 14,587,770 at-risk private placement warrants, which were purchased at $0.50, that they will ONLY accept shares (not cash) at a rate of 0.11 of a share of common stock per warrant (or 1,604,655 shares of common stock in total).

The remaining 2,912,230 private placement warrants beneficially owned by certain institutional investors in the Sponsor may be exchanged, at the election of their beneficial owners, for the same stock consideration or the consideration to be received by the holders of the public warrants.
