Introductory Note

 

On October 15, 2020, Myjojo, Inc. (“Ittella Parent”) and the registrant, Forum Merger II Corporation (“Forum”) (now Tattooed Chef, Inc.), consummated the previously-announced transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (as defined below) (the “Transactions”), following the approval at the special meeting of the stockholders of Forum held on October 15, 2020 (the “Special Meeting”).

 

Immediately upon the completion of the Transactions, Ittella Parent became a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Forum. In connection with the Closing (as defined below) of the Transactions, Forum changed its name from Forum Merger II Corporation to Tattooed Chef, Inc. (“Tattooed Chef”). Certain terms used in this Current Report on Form 8-K have the same meaning as set forth in the definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on October 1, 2020 by Forum.

 

Unless the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refer to Tattooed Chef, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries. All references herein to the “Board” refer to the board of directors of the Company. All references to “Forum” refer to the Company before the Closing.

 

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Agreement and Plan of Merger

 

As disclosed under the section titled “The Business Combination Proposal” and its subsection titled “The Merger Agreement” of the Proxy Statement, on June 11, 2020, Forum, Sprout Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Ittella Parent, and Salvatore Galletti, in his capacity as the holder representative, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, which was amended on August 10, 2020 by the First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”).

 

The Transactions involved the merger of Merger Sub with and into Ittella Parent, with Ittella Parent continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Entity”) and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Business Combination”).

 

Item 2.01 of this Current Report discusses the consummation of the Business Combination and various other Transactions and events contemplated by the Merger Agreement which took place on October 15, 2020 (the “Closing”), and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement

 

On August 2, 2018, Forum Investors II, LLC, Forum’s sponsor (the “Sponsor”), entered into a registration rights agreement with Forum, pursuant to which the Sponsor was granted certain rights relating to the registration of shares of common stock, Initial Founder Shares (as defined therein), Private Placement Units (as defined therein), and Working Capital Units (as defined therein) held by it.

 

Upon the Closing, we, the Ittella Parent stockholders, the underwriters of Forum’s initial public offering, and the Sponsor entered into an amended and restated registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Sponsor agreed that it will not transfer (i) 1,250,000 Founder Shares (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) held by it prior to six months after the Closing and (ii) 3,750,000 Founder Shares held by it prior to the earlier of (x) twelve months after the Closing, (y) the date on which the last sales price of common stock exceeds $12.00 per share, subject to adjustment as provided therein and (z) the date on which we complete a transaction that results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. In addition, the holders of shares of common stock received as consideration in the Business Combination agreed not to transfer any of the shares held by them prior to six months after the Closing.

 

Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Ittella Parent stockholders and the Sponsor hold registration rights that obligate the Company to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), all or any portion of the common stock issued as merger consideration under the Merger Agreement, as well as shares of common stock held by the Sponsor or issuable upon the exercise of warrants held by the Sponsor. Initiating Holders (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) will be entitled to make a written demand for registration under the Securities Act of all or part of the their registrable securities, subject to certain limitations as described in the Registration Rights Agreement, including that these holders must propose to sell securities with anticipated total proceeds of at least $10,000,000. Subject to certain exceptions if, any time after the Closing, we propose to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to our securities, under the Registration Rights Agreement, we shall give notice to stockholders who are a party to the Registration Rights Agreement, including the Sponsor, as to the proposed filing and offer these stockholders an opportunity to register the sale of the number of their registrable securities as they request in writing. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, these stockholders will be entitled under the Registration Rights Agreement to request in writing that we register the resale of any or all of their registrable securities on Form S-3 and any similar short-form registration statement that may be available at that time.

 

Under the Registration Rights Agreement, we agree to indemnify these stockholders and certain persons or entities related to these stockholders against any losses or damages resulting from any untrue statement or omission of a material fact in any registration statement or prospectus pursuant to which they sell registrable securities, unless the liability arose from their misstatement or omission, and these stockholders, if registrable securities held by these stockholders are included in the securities as to which registration, qualification or compliance is being effected, agree to indemnify us and certain persons or entities related to us against all losses caused by their misstatements or omissions in those documents.

This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Registration Rights Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Sponsor Earnout Letter

 

In connection with the Merger Agreement, Forum entered into a Sponsor Earnout Letter with the Sponsor and Ittella Parent, dated June 11, 2020 (“Sponsor Earnout Letter”), pursuant to which the Sponsor placed the Sponsor Earnout Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement) into escrow, effective as of the Closing, and subjected these shares to the vesting conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

 

If the vesting conditions are not satisfied, then the Sponsor Earnout Shares will be forfeited and cancelled. The vesting, release and forfeiture terms of the Sponsor Earnout Shares are as follows. Sponsor Earnout Shares will vest within the first three years after the Closing, upon the following conditions: (i) if the trading price of our common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 on any 20 trading days in any 30-day trading period (the “$12.00 Share Price Trigger”), then 50% of the Sponsor Earnout Shares will vest, or (ii) if the trading price of our common stock equals or exceeds $14.00 on any 20 trading days in any 30-day trading period (each of such $14.00 trigger and the $12.00 Share Price Trigger, a “Share Price Trigger”), then 50% of the Sponsor Earnout Shares will vest. If a change in control occurs within the first three years after the Closing, all Sponsor Earnout Shares not previously vested will vest. If the foregoing vesting conditions are not satisfied within the first three years of Closing, the Sponsor Earnout Shares are forfeited.

 

This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Sponsor Earnout Letter, which is included as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

At the Special Meeting, the Forum stockholders considered and adopted, among other matters, the Merger Agreement. On October 15, 2020, the parties consummated the Transactions.

 

At the Special Meeting, holders of 1,827 shares of Forum common stock sold in its initial public offering (“Public Shares”) exercised their right to redeem those shares for cash at a price of $10.37 per share, for an aggregate of approximately $18,952. Immediately after giving effect to the Transactions, there were approximately 57.6 million shares of common stock and warrants to purchase approximately 20.7 million shares of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding, not including any Sponsor Earnout Shares or Holdback Shares. Upon the Closing, Forum’s units automatically separated into the component securities upon consummation of the Business Combination and, as a result, no longer traded as a separate security, and our common stock and warrants began trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) under the trading symbols “TTCF” and “TTCFW,” respectively. Prior the Closing, each unit of Forum consisted of one share of Class A common stock and one public warrant of the Company, whereby each public warrant entitled the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. Upon the closing of the Business Combination, Forum’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, dated August 2, 2018, was replaced with the second amended and restated certificate of incorporation of Tattooed Chef, which, among other things, reclassified all shares of Class A common stock as common stock.

 

As of the Closing, Salvatore Galletti, our chief executive officer, and an entity affiliated with him, beneficially owned approximately 49.2% of our outstanding shares of common stock and the former security holders of Forum beneficially owned approximately 5.3% of our outstanding shares of common stock, not including any Sponsor Earnout Shares or Holdback Shares. As a result, we are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing rules but currently do not intend to take advantage of the controlled company exemptions from certain of Nasdaq’s corporate governance rules.

 

The per share redemption price of approximately $10.37 for holders of Public Shares electing redemption was paid out of Forum’s trust account, which after taking into account the redemption but before any cash consideration paid to the holders of Ittella Parent equity and any transaction expenses, had a balance immediately prior to the Closing of approximately $207.4 million.

On October 15, 2020, the Audit Committee of the Board approved the engagement of BDO as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm effective as of the Closing to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Audit Committee of Forum resolved that Marcum would be dismissed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm effective upon filing of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, which consists only of the accounts of the pre-Business Combination special purpose acquisition company, Forum (this date, the “10-Q Filing Date”). Accordingly, Marcum was informed that it would be dismissed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm effective as of the 10-Q Filing Date.

 

Marcum’s report on Forum’s financial statements as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, for the year ended December 31, 2019 and for the period from May 4, 2018 (inception) to December 31, 2018 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. During the period of Marcum’s engagement by Forum, and the subsequent interim period preceding Marcum’s dismissal, there were no disagreements with Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum, would have caused it to make a reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports covering such periods. In addition, no “reportable events,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, occurred within the period of Marcum’s engagement and the subsequent interim period preceding Marcum’s dismissal.

 

During the period from May 4, 2018 (Forum’s inception) through December 31, 2019 and the subsequent interim period preceding the engagement of BDO, Forum did not consult BDO regarding either: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on Forum’s financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to Ittella Parent or oral advice was provided that BDO concluded was an important factor considered by Ittella Parent in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or a “reportable event” (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

 

Ittella Parent provided Marcum with a copy of the disclosures made pursuant to this Item 4.01 prior to the filing of this Current Report and requested that Marcum furnish a letter addressed to the Commission, which is included as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report, stating whether it agrees with these disclosures, and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree.

2020 Equity Incentive Plan

 

At the Special Meeting, the Forum stockholders considered and approved the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) and reserved 5,200,000 shares of common stock for issuance thereunder. The Incentive Plan was previously approved, subject to stockholder approval, by Forum’s board of directors on September 23, 2020. The Incentive Plan became effective immediately upon the Closing of the Business Combination. A committee of at least two people appointed by our Board (or, if no such committee has been appointed, our Board) (the “Committee”) will administer the Incentive Plan. The maximum aggregate grant-date fair value of awards granted and cash fees paid to any non-employee director pursuant to the Incentive Plan during any fiscal year may not exceed a total value of $100,000, provided that the non-employee directors who are considered independent (under the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market or other securities exchange on which shares of our common stock are traded) may make exceptions to this limit for a non-executive chair of our Board, if any, in which case the non-employee director receiving the additional compensation may not participate in the decision to award that compensation. Shares of common stock underlying awards under the Incentive Plan that are forfeited, cancelled, expire unexercised or are settled in cash will be available again for new awards under the Incentive Plan. If there is any change in our corporate capitalization, the Committee in its sole discretion may make substitutions or adjustments to the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan, the number of shares of common stock covered by awards then outstanding under the Incentive Plan, the limitations on awards under the Incentive Plan, the exercise price of outstanding options and such other equitable substitutions or adjustments as it may determine appropriate.

 

A more complete summary of the terms of the Equity Incentive Plan is set forth in the Proxy Statement. That summary and the foregoing description are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of the Equity Incentive Plan, which is filed as Exhibit 10.8 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
