The Business Combination Agreement is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and the foregoing description thereof is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Business Combination Agreement. The Business Combination Agreement provides investors with information regarding its terms and is not intended to provide any other factual information about the parties. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties contained in the Business Combination Agreement were made as of the execution date of the Business Combination Agreement only and are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules provided by the parties to each other in connection with the signing of the Business Combination Agreement. These disclosure schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies, and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. Moreover, certain representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties rather than establishing matters of fact. Accordingly, you should not rely on the representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement as characterizations of the actual statements of fact about the parties.
Common and Preferred PIPE Offerings
Contemporaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Isos entered into separate subscription agreements (each, a “Common Subscription Agreement”) with a number of subscribers (each a “Common Subscriber”), including Isos’s Co-Chief Executive Officers, George Barrios and Michelle Wilson, and LionTree Partners LLC (“LionTree”), pursuant to which, substantially concurrent with the Closing of the Merger, the Common Subscribers agreed to purchase, and Isos agreed to sell to the Common Subscribers, an aggregate of 15 million shares of Class A common stock (the “Common PIPE Shares”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $150.0 million (the “Common PIPE Offering”), with the Common Subscription Agreements of George Barrios, Michelle Wilson and LionTree accounting for an aggregate of $5.0 million of the Common PIPE Offering.
In addition, Isos also contemporaneously entered into separate subscription agreements (each, a “Preferred Subscription Agreement” and together with the Common Subscription Agreements, the “Subscription Agreements”) with a number of subscribers (each, a “Preferred Subscriber”), pursuant to which, substantially concurrent with the Closing of the Merger, the Preferred Subscribers agreed to purchase, and Isos agreed to sell to the Preferred Subscribers, an aggregate of 95,000 shares of Acquiror Preferred Stock (the “Preferred PIPE Shares”), for a purchase price of $1,000.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $95.0 million (the “Preferred PIPE Offering” and together with the Common PIPE Offering, the “PIPE Offerings”).
The closings of the PIPE Offerings pursuant to the Subscription Agreements are contingent upon, among other customary closing conditions, the substantially concurrent Closing.
Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, Isos agreed that, within 30 calendar days after the Closing, Isos will file with the SEC (at Isos’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Common PIPE Shares and the Class A common stock underlying the Preferred PIPE Shares, and Isos will use its reasonable best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 60th calendar day (or 90th calendar day if the SEC notifies Isos that it will “review” the registration statement) following the Closing and (ii) the second business day after the date Isos is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the registration statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review.
Forms of the Common Subscription Agreement and Preferred Subscription Agreement, respectively, are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the foregoing descriptions thereof are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Common Subscription Agreement or the Preferred Subscription Agreement, respectively.
Designation of Acquiror Preferred Stock
The Acquiror Preferred Stock will rank senior to the Applicable Surviving Company Common Stock with respect to dividends and distributions on liquidation, winding-up and dissolution. Upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, each share of Acquiror Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) the purchase price paid by the purchaser (the “Liquidation Preference”), plus all accrued and unpaid dividends and (ii) the amount that the holder of Acquiror Preferred Stock (each, a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”) would have been entitled to receive at such time if the Acquiror Preferred Stock were converted into Surviving Company Class A Common Stock.
The Holders will be entitled to dividends on the Liquidation Preference at the rate of 5.5% per annum, which will be accreted into the Liquidation Preference on a semi-annual basis. The Holders are also entitled to participate in dividends declared or paid on the Surviving Company Class A Common Stock on an as-converted basis.
Each Holder will have the right, at its option, to convert its Acquiror Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Surviving Company Class A Common Stock at a conversion price equal to approximately $13.00 per share. The conversion price will be subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, including in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or similar events. The Company has the right to settle any conversion at the request of a Holder in cash.
At any time on or following the second anniversary of the issuance of the Acquiror Preferred Stock, subject to certain conditions, the Company may, at its option, require conversion of all of the outstanding shares of Acquiror Preferred Stock to Surviving Company Class A Common Stock if, for at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date the Company notifies the Holders of the election to convert, the closing price of the Surviving Company Class A Common Stock is at least 130% of the conversion price.
The Holders generally will be entitled to vote with the holders of the shares of Surviving Company Class A Common Stock on all matters submitted for a vote of holders of shares of Surviving Company Class A Common Stock (voting together with the holders of shares of Surviving Company Class A Common Stock as one class) on an as-converted basis. Additionally, certain matters will require the approval of the majority of the outstanding Acquiror Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, including (i) the authorization, creation, increase in the authorized amount of, or issuance of any class or series of senior or parity equity securities or any security convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, shares of senior or parity equity securities, (ii) amendments, modifications or repeal of any provision of the Surviving Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or of the Certificate of Designations that would adversely affect the rights, preferences or voting powers of the Acquiror Preferred Stock, (iii) certain business combinations and binding or statutory share exchanges or reclassification involving the Acquiror Preferred Stock unless such events do not adversely affect the rights, preferences or voting powers of the Acquiror Preferred Stock and (iv) certain transactions with affiliates.
If the Company undergoes a Fundamental Change (as defined in the Certificate of Designations), the Company will be required to offer to repurchase all of its then-outstanding shares of Acquiror Preferred Stock for cash consideration equal to the Liquidation Preference plus accumulated and unpaid dividends; provided that, in respect of any Fundamental Change for which the effective date occurs prior to October 4, 2024, the related repurchase date shall not occur prior to the business day immediately succeeding the latest termination date of Bowlero’s existing credit facilities.
If a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) occurs, the Company will in certain circumstances increase the Conversion Rate for a specified period of time. The amount of such increase will be based on the effective date of the applicable Make-Whole Fundamental Change and the Stock Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) at the time of the applicable Make-Whole Fundamental Change. The maximum Conversion Rate in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change is 100.000 shares of Surviving Company Class A Common Stock per $1,000 Liquidation Preference (assuming no other adjustments to the Conversion Rate).
The foregoing summary of the terms of the Acquiror Preferred Stock is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Certificate of Designations, which is attached hereto as Exhibit C to the Business Combination Agreement that is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
Amended and Restated Forward Purchase Contract
Contemporaneously with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Isos entered into an Amended and Restated Forward Purchase Contract with the subscribers named therein which amended and restated the Forward Purchase Contract dated March 2, 2021, pursuant to which, among other things the subscribers agreed to increase the number of Isos units they are required to purchase on closing of Isos’s initial business combination to ten million units (for an aggregate purchase price of $100.0 million), and in connection with which Isos agreed to pay to certain subscribers a fee equal to an aggregate of $3.0 million, payable upon Closing.
The Amended and Restated Forward Purchase Contract is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the foregoing description thereof is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Forward Purchase Contract.
Stockholder Support Agreement
Following the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Bowlero and Isos entered into a Stockholder Support Agreement with Atairos and TS (together, the “Supporting Stockholders”), pursuant to which (i) Atairos agreed to execute and deliver a written consent to Bowlero, no later than the third business day following the date that Isos’ registration statement on Form S-4 becomes effective, in respect of all shares of Bowlero owned by Atairos in favor of the Merger and approving the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and voting against any Company Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) and any other action that would reasonably be expected to materially impede or delay the Merger or the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, and (ii) the Supporting Stockholders agreed to waive any rights of appraisal and dissenters’ rights relating to the Merger. The Stockholder Support Agreement also contains restrictions on transfers of the shares of Bowlero held by the Supporting Stockholders and provides that TS will make a Stock Election (as defined in the Business Combination) with respect to all shares of Bowlero common stock held by it and that Atairos will make a Cash Election (as defined in the Business Combination) for its shares of Bowlero common stock up to 100% of the Cash Election Consideration Cap (as defined in the Business Combination) and a Stock Election with respect to its remaining shares of Bowlero common stock.

Forward-looking statements are sometimes accompanied by words such as “believe,” “continue,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “predict,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “outlook” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this Current Report on Form 8-K. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by an investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Isos and Bowlero. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ from the forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including but not limited to: (i) the risk that the transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of Isos’s securities, (ii) the risk that the transaction may not be completed by Isos’s business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by Isos, (iii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the transaction, including the approval by the stockholders of Isos, the satisfaction of the minimum trust account amount following any redemptions by Isos’s public stockholders and the receipt of certain governmental and regulatory approvals, (iv) the lack of a third-party valuation in determining whether or not to pursue the transaction, (v) the inability to complete the PIPE Offerings, (vi) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, (vii) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the transaction on Bowlero’s business relationships, operating results, and business generally, (viii) the unprecedented impact of the coronavirus on our business and operations and the related impact on our ability to access other funding sources; (ix) the duration of government-mandated and voluntary shutdowns and restrictions; (x) the speed with which our bowling centers safely can be reopened and the level of customer demand following reopening; (xi) the economic impact of the coronavirus and related disruptions on the communities we serve; (xii) our overall level of indebtedness; (xiii) general business and economic conditions, including as a result of the coronavirus; (xiv) the impact of competition; (xv) the seasonality of Bowlero’s business; (xv) adverse weather conditions; (xvi) guest and employee complaints and litigation; (xvii) labor costs and availability; (xvii) changes in consumer and corporate spending, including as a result of the coronavirus; (xviii) changes in demographic trends; and (xix) changes in governmental regulations. These risks and uncertainties may be amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused significant economic uncertainty, particularly in Bowlero’s industry. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of Isos’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, the registration statement that will include a proxy statement/prospectus on Form S-4 (when filed) and other documents filed by Isos from time to time with the SEC (including Isos’s quarterly filings). These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and Bowlero and Isos assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Neither Bowlero nor Isos gives any assurance that either Bowlero or Isos will achieve its expectations.
