Under the terms of the Transaction Agreement, it is a condition to the Sellers obligation to consummate the Business Combination that cash held by Replay as of immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination (after taking into account any redemptions and the PIPE investments to be made at closing but before the payment of fees and expenses) be equal or greater to $400,000,000. In connection with the Business Combination, the Sellers intend to waive the closing condition relating to the minimum cash required to be held by Replay in the event such condition is not otherwise satisfied. The Business Combination is expected to be completed on April 1, 2021, subject to satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.
Important Information About the Proposed Business Combination and Where to Find It
In connection with the proposed Business Combination, a registration statement on Form S-4 (the Form S-4) has been filed by New Pubco with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), that includes a proxy statement of Replay that also constitutes a prospectus of New Pubco. Replay, FoA and New Pubco urge investors, stockholders and other interested persons to read the Form S-4, including the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and documents incorporated by reference therein, as well as other documents filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed Business Combination, as these materials will contain important information about FoA, Replay, and the proposed Business Combination. Such persons can also read Replays Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, for a description of the security holdings of Replays officers and directors and their respective interests as security holders in the consummation of the proposed Business Combination. Beginning on February 12, 2021, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus was mailed to Replays shareholders as of January 28, 2021, seeking any required shareholder approval. Shareholders will also be able to obtain copies of such documents, without charge at the SECs website at www.sec.gov, or by directing a request to: Replay Acquisition Corp., 767 Fifth Avenue, 46th Floor, New York, New York 10153, or info@replayacquisition.com.
Participants in the Solicitation
Replay, FoA, New Pubco and their respective directors, executive officers and other members of their management and employees, under SEC rules, may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies of Replays shareholders in connection with the proposed Business Combination. Investors and security holders may obtain more detailed information regarding the names, affiliations and interests of Replays directors and executive officers in Replays Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, which was filed with the SEC on March 25, 2020. Information regarding the persons who may, under SEC rules, be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies of Replays shareholders in connection with the proposed Business Combination is set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus for the proposed Business Combination. Information concerning the interests of Replays and FoAs participants in the solicitation, which may, in some cases, be different than those of Replays and FoAs equity holders generally, is set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus relating to the proposed Business Combination.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Replays and FoAs actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates, and projections and, consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as expect, estimate, project, budget, forecast, anticipate, intend, plan, may, will, could, should, believes, predicts, potential, continue, and similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, Replays and FoAs expectations with respect to future performance and anticipated financial impacts of the proposed Business Combination, the satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions to the proposed Business Combination, and the timing of the completion of the proposed Business Combination.
These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially, and potentially adversely, from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Most of these factors are outside Replays and FoAs control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Transaction Agreement; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Replay, New Pubco and/or FoA following the announcement of the Transaction Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein; (3) the inability to complete the proposed Business Combination, including due to failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of Replay and FoA, certain regulatory approvals, or satisfy other conditions to closing in the Transaction Agreement; (4) the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Transaction Agreement or could otherwise cause the transaction to fail to close; (5) the impact of COVID-19 on FoAs business and/or the ability of the parties to complete the proposed Business Combination; (6) the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of New Pubcos shares of common stock on the NYSE following the proposed Business Combination; (7) the risk that the proposed Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the proposed Business Combination; (8) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of FoA to grow and manage growth profitably, and retain its key employees; (9) costs related to the proposed Business Combination; (10) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (11) the possibility that FoA or New Pubco or Replay may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and (12) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the final prospectus of Replay for its initial public offering and the proxy statement/prospectus relating to the proposed Business Combination, including those under Risk Factors therein, and in Replays other filings with the SEC. Each of Replay, FoA and New Pubco cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning Replay, FoA or New Pubco, the transactions described herein or other matters and attributable to Replay, FoA, New Pubco or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. Each of Replay, FoA and New Pubco cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Each of Replay, FoA and New Pubco does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
No Offer or Solicitation
This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent, or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the proposed Business Combination. This Current Report on Form 8-K shall also not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption therefrom.
