Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On December 27, 2019, Leisure Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“LACQ”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among LACQ, GTWY Holdings Limited, a Canadian corporation (the “Company”), and GTWY Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), relating to a proposed business combination transaction between LACQ and the Company.
Merger Agreement
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into LACQ, with LACQ surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the stockholders of LACQ becoming stockholders of the Company (the “Merger”).
The Company’s stockholders as of immediately prior to the Arrangement Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) will be entitled to receive a cash distribution in an aggregate amount equal to the CompanyPre-Closing Distribution Amount (as defined in the Merger Agreement). In addition, the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital as of immediately prior to the Arrangement Effective Time, which is expected to have an aggregate value of approximately $222,917,162 (subject to certain adjustments for transaction expenses and deduction of the CompanyPre-Closing Distribution Amount, as further described in the Merger Agreement), will, at the closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (collectively, the “Transaction”), be converted into a number of common shares of the Company (the “Company Shares”) calculated based on a reference price of $10.00 per share, and retained by the Company’s existing stockholders.
In connection with the consummation of the Merger, (i) each issued and outstanding share of LACQ’s common stock (each, a “LACQ Share”), excluding any Excluded Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement), will be converted into the right to receive one Company Share and (ii) each issued and outstanding LACQ Warrant (as defined in the Merger Agreement) will be exchanged for a warrant issued by the Company, exercisable for a common share of the Company (a “Company Warrant”), in each case, subject to customary equitable adjustments, in accordance with the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement.
In connection with the Transaction, certain of LACQ’s initial stockholders have agreed to forfeit 1,000,000 LACQ Shares, in the aggregate, for no consideration prior to the Closing. In addition, the Company has entered into a contingent forward purchase contract (the “Vora Subscription Agreement”) with HG Vora Capital Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“HG Vora”), pursuant to which, among other things, HG Vora has agreed to purchase 3,000,000 units of the Company’s equity securities (with each unit consisting of one Company Share andone-half of a Company Warrant), for a purchase price of $10.00 per unit, subject to the terms and conditions thereof.
