Termination of Merger Agreement

On October 5, 2020, the Company and F45 entered into a Termination and Release Agreement (the “Termination and Release Agreement”), effective as of such date, pursuant to which the parties agreed to mutually terminate the Merger Agreement. The termination of the Merger Agreement is effective as of October 5, 2020.

Pursuant to the Termination and Release Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, the Company and F45 have also agreed, on behalf of themselves and their respective related parties, to a release of claims relating to the Contemplated Business Combination.


Second Amended & Restated Forward Purchase Agreement

As previously disclosed by the Company, on February 26, 2019, the Company entered into the Forward Purchase Agreement with Crescent, in Crescent’s capacity as investment advisor to one or more investment funds or accounts managed by Crescent, which was amended and restated in its entirety in connection with the Company’s entry into the Merger Agreement in the form of the A&R FPA. In connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement, Crescent and the Company have agreed to amend and restate the A&R FPA in its entirety and have entered into the Second Amended & Restated Forward Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 5, 2020 (the “Second A&R FPA”), to be effective concurrently with the termination of the Merger Agreement.

Pursuant to the Second A&R FPA, Crescent, in its capacity as investment advisor on behalf of one or more investment funds or accounts managed by Crescent and its affiliates (such funds or accounts, the “Crescent Funds”), has committed on behalf of the Crescent Funds, to purchase, subject to the terms and conditions set forth the Second A&R FPA, including obtaining fund-level approvals by the relevant investment committee and/or other governing body of such funds, an aggregate of 5,000,000 forward purchase units (the “Forward Purchase Units”), each consisting of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock (such shares of Class A common stock to be issued pursuant to the Second A&R FPA, the “Forward Purchase Shares”) and one-third of one warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock (such warrants to be issued pursuant to the Second A&R FPA, the “Forward Purchase Warrants”), for $10.00 per unit, or an aggregate amount of $50,000,000, in a private placement that will close simultaneously with the closing of the Company’s initial business combination. The Forward Purchase Warrants will have the same terms as the Private Placement Warrants so long as they are held by a Crescent Fund purchasing the Forward Purchase Units (such Crescent Fund, the “Crescent Fund Purchaser”) or its permitted transferees, and the Forward Purchase Shares will be identical to the Public Shares sold in the Company’s initial public offering, except the Forward Purchase Shares will be subject to transfer restrictions and certain registration rights. Any Forward Purchase Warrant held by a holder other than a Crescent Fund Purchaser or its permitted transferees will have the same terms as the Warrants included in the Company’s units sold in the Company’s initial public offering.

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement, the Termination and Release Agreement and the Second A&R FPA do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the terms and conditions of the full text of the Merger Agreement, which was previously filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by the Company on June 24, 2020, the full text of the Termination and Release Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and the full text of the Second A&R FPA, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2, each of which is incorporated by reference herein.
