ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This report and the exhibits hereto are not a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the proposed transaction. This report and the exhibits hereto shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities of GGAC or THE COMPANY, nor shall there be any sale of any such securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction. The ORDINARY shares OF GGAC offered in the private placement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

 

This report and the exhibits hereto include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. THE COMPANY’S actual results may differ from its 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 are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, GGAC’S and THE COMPANY’S expectations with respect to future performance, anticipated financial impacts of the BUSINESS COMBINATION and related transactions; approval of the BUSINESS COMBINATION and related transactions by security holders; the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the BUSINESS COMBINATION and related transactions; and the timing of the completion of the BUSINESS COMBINATION and related transactions.

 

These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside the parties’ control and difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include: business conditions; weather and natural disasters; changing interpretations of GAAP; outcomes of government reviews; inquiries and investigations and related litigation; continued compliance with government regulations; legislation or regulatory environments, requirements or changes adversely affecting the business in which the company is engaged; fluctuations in customer demand; management of rapid growth; intensity of competition from other APPAREL RETAILERS; general economic conditions; and geopolitical events and regulatory changes. Other factors include the possibility that the BUSINESS COMBINATION does not close, including due to the failure to receive required security holder approvals, or the failure TO SATISFY other closing conditions.

 

The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Additional information concerning these and other risk factors is contained in GGAC’S most recent filings with the SEC. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning GGAC and THE COMPANY, the BUSINESS COMBINATION, the related transactions or other matters and attributable to GGAC and THE COMPANY or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Neither GGAC nor THE COMPANY undertakeS or acceptS any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in their expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This amendment No. 1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 27, 2015 is being filed solely to replace Exhibit 2.1, the original version of which contained certain non-material errors. Except for replacing Exhibit 2.1, no changes have been made to the original Current Report.

 

Item 1.01           Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

General; Structure of Business Combination

 

On August 26, 2015, Garnero Group Acquisition Company, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“GGAC”), entered into an Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) by and among GGAC, Q1 Comercial de Roupas S.A., a Brazilian company (the “Company”), Alvaro Jabur Maluf Junior and Paulo Jabur Maluf (the “Controlling Persons”) and the persons listed under the caption “Optionholder” on the signature pages thereto (the “Optionholders”).

 

Headquartered in São Paulo, the Company is one of Brazil’s leading retailers focusing on menswear, with over 400 stores throughout the country. The Company has recently diversified from formalwear into smart casual clothes and has strengthened its online presence to become, according to Exame Magazine, one of the three most valuable brands within the Brazilian apparel retail sector.

 

Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, (A) the Controlling Persons will contribute all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Company (the “Outstanding Shares”) to GGAC (the “Share Contribution”) and will receive in consideration an aggregate of 5,460,000 newly issued ordinary shares of GGAC (“GGAC Ordinary Shares”) and (B) the Optionholders will exercise certain options held by them, will contribute the underlying ordinary shares of the Company to GGAC (the “Option Contribution,” and together with the Share Contribution, the “Equity Contributions”), and will receive in consideration an aggregate of 540,000 GGAC Ordinary Shares. The number of GGAC Ordinary Shares to be received by the Controlling Persons and the Optionholders is subject to the EBITDA Adjustment, as described below. In addition, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement (the “Closing”) and immediately after the completion of the Equity Contributions, GGAC will contribute to the Company, as a capital increase, an aggregate of R$120,000,000 in cash (the “Capital Contribution,” and together with the Equity Contributions, the “Contributions”), which amount shall be used by the Company to immediately repay certain indebtedness of the Company and to release certain liens on the Outstanding Shares.

 

If the Contributions are consummated, the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of GGAC, GGAC will change its name to “Garnero Colombo Inc.” and the former stockholders and management of the Company will own approximately 25% of the outstanding GGAC Ordinary Shares (assuming no holder of GGAC Ordinary Shares exercises his redemption rights as set forth in GGAC’s charter documents and the Controlling Persons make the full US$30 million of open market purchases and/or purchases in the Private Placement as described below).

 

The Contributions are expected to be consummated in the fourth quarter of 2015, assuming the required approval of the GGAC shareholders is obtained and certain other conditions, as described herein and in the Investment Agreement, are satisfied or waived.

 

The following summaries of the Investment Agreement and the other agreements to be entered into by the parties in connection with the business combination are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of the agreements, certain of which are attached as exhibits hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Private Placement; Open Market Purchases

 

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement, GGAC and the Company will use their commercially reasonable best efforts to consummate, simultaneously with the Closing, a private placement of up to US$100,000,000 of equity securities, or securities exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, equity securities, of GGAC (the “Private Placement”), with the assistance of a syndicate of financial institutions that have been identified and agreed to by GGAC and the Company.

In addition, the Controlling Persons have committed to use their commercially reasonable best efforts to purchase, directly or indirectly, at least US$30 million of GGAC Ordinary Shares in the open market. To the extent the Controlling Persons make less than US$30 million in open market purchases, the Controlling Persons, directly or indirectly, will purchase an amount of securities in the Private Placement equal to such deficiency.

 

Lock-Up

 

Simultaneously with the execution of the Investment Agreement, the Controlling Persons and the Optionholders entered into lockup agreements (the “Lockup Agreements”) with GGAC, pursuant to which they agreed not to sell any of the GGAC Ordinary Shares received by them in connection with the Investment Agreement for one year after the closing, subject to certain exceptions.

 

Registration Rights

 

At the Closing, GGAC, the Controlling Persons, the Optionholders, certain of GGAC’s founders and the representative of the underwriters in GGAC’s initial public offering will enter into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, no later than 30 days following the Closing, GGAC will prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on Form S-3, or other appropriate form, covering the resale of the Registrable Securities (as defined below), and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective and remain effective on a continuous basis until all Registrable Securities have been sold. Following the expiration of the lockup period under the Lockup Agreements, in addition to ordinary resales under the registration statement in the public trading markets, the holders of the Registrable Securities will be entitled to sell the Registrable Securities in underwritten public offerings under the registration statement, so long as any such underwritten public offering is for at least US$10 million of the Registrable Securities in the aggregate. The holders of the Registrable Securities also will have certain customary “piggyback” registration rights.

 

The “Registrable Securities” include the GGAC Ordinary Shares sold prior to GGAC’s initial public offering, all of the units (and underlying GGAC Ordinary Shares and warrants) sold in a private placement concurrently with GGAC’s initial public offering or issuable upon conversion of working capital loans made by the insiders of GGAC since the closing of the initial public offering, all of the GGAC Ordinary Shares and warrants underlying the unit purchase option granted to the representative of the underwriters in GGAC’s initial public offering and all of the GGAC Ordinary Shares issued to the Controlling Persons and the Optionholders under the Investment Agreement.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Registrable Securities held by the Controlling Persons and Optionholders will remain subject to the Lockup Agreement.

EBITDA Adjustment; Indemnification; Escrow

 

The GGAC Ordinary Shares payable to the Controlling Persons and Optionholders are subject to adjustment based on the Company’s future EBITDA performance (the “EBITDA Adjustment”). If the Company’s EBITDA for the twelve months ending December 31, 2016, as determined in accordance with the Investment Agreement, is less than R$155,000,000, the Controlling Persons and Optionholders have agreed to surrender to GGAC for cancellation 50,000 GGAC Ordinary Shares for each R$1,000,000 of such deficiency, up to a maximum of 300,000 of the Escrow Shares (as defined below) and pro-rata for partial amounts. In case the Company’s EBITDA for such period is lower than R$149,000,000, the remaining 300,000 of the original number of Escrow Shares will be surrendered to GGAC for cancellation.

 

In addition, the Controlling Persons and the Optionholders, on one hand, and GGAC, on the other hand, have agreed to indemnify and hold each other harmless for certain inaccuracies or breaches of the representations and warranties or for the non-fulfillment or breach of certain covenants and agreements contained in the Investment Agreement, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement. GGAC’s rights to indemnification are limited to the number of Escrow Shares, subject to certain exceptions. The Controlling Persons and Optionholder’s rights to indemnification are limited to a number of newly issued GGAC Ordinary Shares equal to the number of Escrow Shares.

 

To provide a fund for payment to GGAC with respect to its post-closing rights to indemnification under the Investment Agreement, and to provide security for the Controlling Persons and Optionholders obligation to surrender shares in connection with the EBITDA Adjustment, there will be placed in escrow (with an independent escrow agent) an aggregate of 600,000 of the GGAC Ordinary Shares issuable to the Controlling Persons and the Optionholders under the Investment Agreement (the “Escrow Shares”). On the date that is the later of (i) 30 days after the date on which the Company delivers to GGAC its audited financial statements for its 2016 fiscal year and (ii) the date the EBITDA Adjustment is finally determined in accordance with the Investment Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall release 300,000 of the original number of Escrow Shares, less that number of Escrow Shares applied in satisfaction of, or reserved with respect to, indemnification claims made prior to such date, and less that number of Escrow Shares surrendered or to be surrendered to the Company in satisfaction of the EBITDA Adjustment, to the owners thereof. The remaining Escrow Shares shall be available for indemnification only with respect to Tax Indemnification Claims (as defined in the Investment Agreement). On the date that is 30 days after the date on which the Company delivers to GGAC its audited financial statements for its 2017 fiscal year, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the remaining shares held in escrow, less any of such shares applied in satisfaction of, or reserved with respect to, a Tax Indemnification Claim made prior to such date, to the owners thereof. Any Escrow Shares reserved with respect to any unresolved claim for indemnification and not applied as indemnification with respect to such claim upon its resolution shall be delivered to such owners promptly upon such resolution.

 

No amount for indemnification will be payable by an indemnifying party (i) unless and until the aggregate amount of all indemnifiable losses otherwise payable exceeds US$600,000 (the “Deductible”), in which event the amount payable shall be the full amount (and not just the amount in excess of the amount of the Deductible), and (ii) unless the amount of all indemnifiable losses otherwise payable on any single claim or series of related claims exceeds US$30,000 (except such amounts will count toward the Deductible), in each case subject to certain exceptions.

 

Reorganization

 

Prior to the Closing, the Controlling Persons will use their commercially reasonable best efforts to effect a reorganization in accordance with the Investment Agreement (the “Reorganization”), as a result of which the Controlling Persons will become the direct owners of all of the outstanding ordinary shares of the Company, the Company will not incur any indebtedness, other than indebtedness not exceeding US$50,000,000 in the aggregate, and the Company will have accrued goodwill amortizable under applicable tax law in the amount of R$200,000,000.

 

6
 

 

Company Option Exercises

 

Simultaneously with the execution of the Investment Agreement, the Optionholders delivered irrevocable instructions to exercise their options in full at the Closing and an instrument of assignment directing the underlying ordinary shares of the Company to be issued in the name of GGAC (the “Irrevocable Instructions”).

1.1           Contribution of Shares.

 

(a)           Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, the Controlling Persons shall contribute, assign, transfer and deliver the Outstanding Shares to GGAC, free and clear of any Liens, except with respect to such Liens described in Schedule 1.1(a) hereto, which shall be released upon repayment of the indebtedness set forth on Schedule 5.26 hereto in accordance with the Release Letter (as defined in Section 5.26 hereof) (the “Share Contribution”), and shall receive in consideration an aggregate of five million four hundred and sixty thousand (5,460,000) new ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of GGAC (“GGAC Ordinary Shares”) free and clear of any Liens.

The Share Consideration shall be allocated and delivered to each Controlling Person, as provided in Schedule 1.1(a)(i) hereto (as amended or supplemented at the Closing Date).

 

(b)           Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, the Optionholders shall exercise the Company Options and contribute, assign, transfer and deliver the Option Shares to GGAC, free and clear of any Liens, except with respect to such Liens described in Schedule 1.1(a) hereto, (the “Option Contribution,” and together with the Share Contribution, the “Equity Contributions”), and shall receive in consideration an aggregate of five hundred and forty thousand (540,000) GGAC Ordinary Shares, free and clear of any Liens (the “Option Consideration,” and together with the Share Consideration, the “Investment Consideration”).

(e)            EBITDA Adjustment.

 

(i)           If the Company’s EBITDA in Brazilian Reais for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 (“Actual EBITDA Amount”), as determined in accordance with this Agreement, is less than One Hundred and Fifty-Five Million Brazilian Reais (R$155,000,000) (the “Estimated EBITDA Amount”), the Controlling Persons and Optionholders shall surrender to the Company for cancellation, pro rata in proportion to the number of GGAC Shares issued to each such Controlling Person and Optionholder hereunder, a number of GGAC Ordinary Shares (the “EBITDA Shares”) corresponding to Fifty thousand (50,000) GGAC Ordinary Shares for each One Million Brazilian Reais (R$1,000,000) difference between the Estimated EBITDA Amount and the Actual EBITDA Amount, limited to 300,000 of the original number of Escrow Shares (as defined below) (the “EBITDA Variance”), and pro-rata for partial amounts; provided, however, that the number of EBITDA Shares shall in no event exceed the number of Escrow Shares (as defined in Section 1.6 hereof) and the requirement to surrender the EBITDA Shares to the Company shall be satisfied solely from the Escrow Shares (the “EBITDA Adjustment”). In case the Actual EBITDA Amount is lower than One Hundred and Forty-Nine Million Brazilian Reais (R$149,000,000), the Controlling Persons shall surrender to the Company for cancellation the remaining 300,000 of the original number of Escrow Shares (as defined below). In case the Actual EBITDA Amount is greater than One Hundred and Fifty-Five Million Brazilian Reais (R$155,000,000), the Escrow Agent shall release 300,000 of the original number of Escrow Shares (as defined below), according to the procedure set forth in Section 1.6 below.

 

(ii)          The Surviving Corporation shall deliver to the Committee and the Representative (each as defined in Section 1.7 hereof) a written statement of the Actual EBITDA Amount by March 31, 2017, which shall (1) provide such detailed information as may be reasonably requested by the Committee or the Representative prior to such date with respect to the Actual EBITDA Amount, (2) be derived utilizing generally accepted accounting principles, consistent with the Company’s historical practice and (3) be certified as being true and complete by an executive officer of the Surviving Corporation.

 

(iii)         If the Committee or the Representative (the “Disputing Party”) disagrees with the Actual EBITDA Amount and the EBITDA Variance, it shall notify the Company and the other party (the “Non-Disputing Party”) of such disagreement in writing specifying in reasonable detail any and all items of disagreement (each, an “Item of Dispute”) within ten (10) calendar days after its receipt of the written statement of the Actual EBITDA Amount. The Disputing Party and Non-Disputing Party shall use their commercially reasonable best efforts for a period of ten (10) calendar days after the Disputing Party’s delivery of such notice (or such longer period as the Disputing Party and Non-Disputing Party may mutually agree upon) to resolve any Items of Dispute raised by the Disputing Party. If, at the end of such period, the Disputing Party and Non-Disputing Party do not resolve any such Item of Dispute, either party may submit the matter to a mutually acceptable independent accounting firm of recognized national standing to review and resolve the Item of Dispute. In the event the Disputing Party and Non-Disputing Party cannot agree upon an accounting firm within five (5) days after notice from a party to the other party, they shall choose an accounting firm by lot from those accounting firms of recognized national standing practicing in Brazil having no material relationship to GGAC, the Company, the Committee, the Representative or their respective Affiliates and having offices in locations suitable to conduct such review (the accounting firm selected in accordance with the preceding two sentences is referred to herein as the “Accounting Firm”). The Disputing Party and Non-Disputing Party shall request that the Accounting Firm render a determination on each Item of Dispute, solely based on whether such Item of Dispute was prepared accurately and in accordance with Brazilian GAAP (as defined below) and consistent with past practice. The determination by the Accounting Firm shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties. The Disputing Party and Non-Disputing Party shall make their respective submissions to the Accounting Firm within ten (10) business days after selecting such firm pursuant to this Section 1.1(e). The Disputing Party and Non-Disputing Party shall use their commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to make its determination within fifteen (15) calendar days after accepting its selection. All of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne by the Surviving Corporation.

1.6           Escrow. As the sole remedy for the indemnification obligations of the Controlling Persons and the Optionholders set forth in Article VII hereof, 600,000 of the GGAC Ordinary Shares to be issued to the Controlling Persons and the Optionholders hereunder (the “Escrow Shares”) shall be deposited in escrow (the “Escrow Account”), which shall be allocated among the Controlling Persons and the Optionholders in the same proportion as the number of GGAC Ordinary Shares being issued to them hereunder, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of an escrow agreement to be entered into at the Closing between GGAC, the Representative and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), as escrow agent (“Escrow Agent”), substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto (the “Escrow Agreement”). On the date (the “Basic Indemnity Escrow Termination Date”) that is the later of (i) thirty (30) days after the date on which the Company delivers to GGAC its audited financial statements for its 2016 fiscal year and (ii) the date the EBITDA Adjustment is finally determined in accordance with Section 1.1(e) hereof, the Escrow Agent shall release 300,000 of the original number of Escrow Shares, less that number of Escrow Shares applied in satisfaction of, or reserved with respect to, indemnification claims made prior to such date, and less that number of Escrow Shares surrendered or to be surrendered to the Company in satisfaction of the EBITDA Adjustment, to the owners thereof. The remaining Escrow Shares (the “Tax Indemnity Shares”) shall be available for indemnification only with respect to Tax Indemnification Claims (as hereinafter defined). On the date (the “Tax Indemnity Escrow Termination Date”) that is thirty (30) days after the date on which the Company delivers to GGAC its audited financial statements for its 2017 fiscal year, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Tax Indemnity Shares, less any of such shares applied in satisfaction of, or reserved with respect to, a Tax Indemnification Claim made prior to such date, to the owners thereof. Any Escrow Shares reserved with respect to any unresolved claim for indemnification and not applied as indemnification with respect to such claim upon its resolution shall be delivered to such owners promptly upon such resolution. “Tax Indemnification Claim” means a claim for indemnification pursuant to Article VII with respect to a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.15 hereof.

 

1.7           Committee and Representative for Purposes of Escrow Agreement.

 

(a)           GGAC Committee. Prior to the Closing, the board of directors of GGAC shall appoint a committee (the “Committee”) consisting of at least two of its then independent members to act on behalf of GGAC to take all necessary actions and make all decisions pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement after the Closing. In the event of a vacancy in such committee, the board of directors of GGAC shall appoint as a successor a Person who was an independent director of GGAC prior to the Closing Date or, in the event of an inability to appoint same, another Person who would qualify as an “independent” director of GGAC and who has not had any material relationship with the Company prior to the Closing. Such committee is intended to be the “Committee” referred to in Article VII and the Escrow Agreement.

 

(b)           Representative. The Controlling Persons and the Optionholders hereby appoint Alvaro Jabur Maluf Junior as their representative (the “Representative”) to take any and all actions and make any decisions required or permitted to be taken by the Controlling Persons and the Optionholders under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. The execution of this Agreement by each of the Controlling Persons and the Optionholders shall be deemed acceptance by such party of the appointment of the Representative to act in such party’s behalf. Should the Representative resign or be unable to serve, a new Representative shall be selected by majority vote of the Controlling Persons and the Optionholders (each voting in proportion to their respective economic interest in the GGAC Ordinary Shares to be issued hereunder). The Representative shall not be liable to the Controlling Persons and the Optionholders for any liability, loss, damage, penalty, fine, cost or expense incurred without gross negligence by the Representative while acting in good faith and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of his duties hereunder (it being understood that any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith). A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representative shall be final, binding and conclusive and not subject to challenge by any recipient. GGAC and the Company are hereby relieved from any liability to any person for any acts done by Representative and any acts done by GGAC or the Company in accordance with any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representative. GGAC, the Company and each of their respective Affiliates shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, the power and authority of the Representative without independent investigation.

7.2           Indemnification of Third Party Claims. The indemnification obligations under this Article VII with respect to actions, proceedings, lawsuits, investigations, demands or other claims brought against an Indemnified Party by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

(a)           Notice of Claim. The Indemnified Party, acting through the Representative, will give the Indemnifying Parties prompt written notice after receiving written notice of any Third Party Claim or discovering the liability, obligation or facts giving rise to such Third Party Claim (a “Notice of Claim”) which Notice of Third Party Claim shall set forth (i) a brief description of the nature of the Third Party Claim, (ii) the total amount of the actual out-of-pocket Loss or the anticipated potential Loss (including any costs or expenses which have been or may be reasonably incurred in connection therewith), and (iii) whether such Loss may be covered (in whole or in part) under any insurance and the estimated amount of such Loss which may be covered under such insurance.

If the Indemnifying Parties are permitted and elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim:

 

(i)           the Indemnifying Parties shall diligently and in good faith defend such Third Party Claim and shall keep the Indemnified Parties reasonably informed of the status of such defense; provided, however, that in the case of any settlement providing for remedies which are not merely incidental to a primary damage claim or claims for monetary damages, the Indemnified Parties shall have the right to approve any settlement, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; and

 

(ii)          the Indemnified Parties shall cooperate fully in all respects with the Indemnifying Parties in any such defense, compromise or settlement thereof, including, without limitation, the selection of counsel, and the Indemnified Parties shall make available to the Indemnifying Parties all pertinent information and documents under its control.

 

- 55 -
 

 

(c)           Limitations of Right to Assume Defense. The Indemnifying Parties shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Representative if (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation; (ii) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Parties which is not merely incidental to a primary damage claim or claims for monetary damages; or (iii) there is a reasonable probability that a Third Party Claim may materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Parties other than as a result of money damages or other money payments.

 

(d)           Other Limitations. Failure to give prompt Notice of Claim or to provide copies of relevant available documents or to furnish relevant available data shall not constitute a defense (in whole or in part) to any claim for indemnification with respect to a Third Party Claim and shall not affect the Indemnifying Parties’ duties or obligations under this Article VII, except to the extent (and only to the extent that) such failure shall have adversely affected the ability of the Indemnifying Parties to defend against or reduce their liability or caused or increased such liability or otherwise caused the damages for which the Indemnifying Parties are obligated to be greater than such damages would have been had Indemnified Parties given the Indemnifying Parties prompt notice hereunder. So long as the Indemnifying Parties are defending any such action actively and in good faith, the Indemnified Parties shall not settle such action. The Indemnified Parties shall make available to the Indemnifying Parties all relevant records and other relevant materials required by them and in the possession or under the control of the Indemnified Parties, for the use of the Indemnifying Parties and their representatives in defending any such action, and shall in other respects give reasonable cooperation in such defense.

 

(e)           Failure to Defend. If the Indemnifying Parties, promptly after receiving a Notice of Claim, fail to defend such Third Party Claim actively and in good faith, the Indemnified Parties, at the reasonable cost and expense of Indemnifying Parties, will (upon further written notice) have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim as it may determine in its reasonable discretion, provided that the Indemnifying Parties shall have the right to approve any settlement, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

 

(f)           Indemnified Parties’ Rights. Anything in this Section 7.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Indemnifying Parties shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Parties, settle or compromise any action or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Parties of a full and unconditional release from all liability and obligation in respect of such action without any payment by the Indemnified Parties.

 

(g)           Indemnifying Parties Consent. Unless the Indemnifying Parties have consented to a settlement of a Third Party Claim, the amount of the settlement shall not be a binding determination of the amount of the Loss and such amount shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Escrow Agreement.

 

- 56 -
 

 

7.3           Insurance Effect. To the extent that any Losses that are subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article VII are covered by insurance paid for by the Indemnified Parties prior to or after the Closing, the Indemnified Parties shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain the maximum recovery under such insurance; provided that the Indemnified Parties shall nevertheless be entitled to bring a claim for indemnification under this Article VII in respect of such Losses and the time limitations set forth in Section 7.4 hereof for bringing a claim of indemnification under this Agreement shall be tolled during the pendency of such insurance claim. The existence of a claim by the Indemnified Parties for monies from an insurer or against a third party in respect of any Loss shall not, however, delay any payment pursuant to the indemnification provisions contained herein and otherwise determined to be due and owing by the Indemnifying Parties. If the Indemnified Parties have received the payment required by this Agreement from the Indemnifying Parties in respect of any Loss and later receive proceeds from insurance or other amounts in respect of such Loss, then it shall hold such proceeds or other amounts in trust for the benefit of the Indemnifying Parties and shall pay to the Indemnifying Parties, as promptly as practicable after receipt, a sum equal to the amount of such proceeds or other amount received, up to the aggregate amount of any payments received from the Indemnifying Parties pursuant to this Agreement in respect of such Loss. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, it is the intention of the parties that no insurer or any other third party shall be (i) entitled to a benefit it would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the foregoing indemnification provisions, or (ii) relieved of the responsibility to pay any claims for which it is obligated.

 

7.4           Limitations on Indemnification.

 

(a)           Survival: Time Limitation.

 

(i)           The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company, the Controlling Persons or the Optionholders in this Agreement or in any writing delivered by the Company, the Controlling Persons or Optionholders (or by the Representative on their behalf) to GGAC in connection with this Agreement (including the certificate required to be delivered by the Company pursuant to Section 6.3(a) hereof) shall survive the Closing for the period that ends on the Basic Indemnity Escrow Termination Date (the “Basic Survival Period”), except that the right of GGAC Indemnified Parties to bring (i) Tax Indemnification Claims shall survive the Closing for the period that ends on the Tax Escrow Termination Date (the “Tax Survival Period”) and (ii) claims for the breach of the representations and warranties in Sections 1.8(c)(iv), 2.3, and 2.4 hereof shall survive without limitation as to time.

 

(ii)          The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of GGAC in this Agreement or in any writing delivered by GGAC to the Company in connection with this Agreement (including the certificate required to be delivered by GGAC pursuant to Section 6.2(a) hereof) shall survive the Closing for the Basic Survival Period, except that the right of the Company Indemnified Parties to bring claims for the breach of the representations and warranties in Sections 3.3 and 3.4 hereof shall survive without limitation as to time.

 

(b)           Any indemnification claim made by an Indemnified Party prior to the termination of the Basic Survival Period or the Tax Survival Period (each a “Survival Period”), as the case may be, shall be preserved despite the subsequent termination of such Survival Period and any claim set forth in a Notice of Claim sent prior to the expiration of such Survival Period shall survive until final resolution thereof. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, no claim for indemnification under this Article VII shall be brought after the end of the Survival Period or the Tax Survival Period, as the case may be.

 

- 57 -
 

 

(c)           Deductible. No amount shall be payable by the Indemnifying Parties under this Article VII unless and until the aggregate amount of all indemnifiable Losses otherwise payable by such Indemnifying Parties exceeds $600,000 (the “Deductible”), in which event the amount payable shall be the full amount (and not just the amount in excess of the amount of the Deductible), and, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.4(d) hereof, all future amounts that become payable under Section 7.1 hereof from time to time thereafter. With respect to any claim as to which the Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any individual or series of related Losses which do not exceed $30,000, provided that such Losses shall be counted toward the Deductible. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Deductible shall not apply to Losses that arise out of (i) with respect to claims for indemnification by the GGAC Indemnified Parties, (A) a breach of the representations and warranties in Sections 1.8(c)(iv), 2.3 or 2.4, or (B) a Tax Indemnification Claim, or (ii) with respect to claims for indemnification by the Company Indemnified Parties, a breach of the representations and warranties in Sections 3.3 or 3.4, all of which shall be indemnifiable as to all Losses that so arise from the first dollar thereof.

 

(d)           Aggregate Amount Limitation.

 

(i)           Except with respect to a breach of the representations and warranties in Sections 1.8(c)(iv), 2.3 and 2.4 hereof, the aggregate liability of the Company Indemnifying Parties for Losses pursuant to Section 7.1(a) hereof shall not in any event exceed the Escrow Shares in the case of Basic Indemnity Claims or the Tax Indemnity Shares in the case of Tax Indemnity Claims and GGAC Indemnified Parties shall have no claim against the Company Indemnifying Parties other than for any of such Escrow Shares (and any proceeds of the shares or distributions with respect to the Escrow Shares). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the maximum liability of each Company Indemnifying Party to the GGAC Indemnified Parties (including, without limitation, with respect to a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 1.8(c)(iv), 2.3, and 2.4 hereof) shall be limited to returning up to 100% of the Investment Consideration received by such Company Indemnifying Party pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.1 hereof and, in the case of the Controlling Persons, paying up to 100% of such Controlling Person’s pro rata share, based on the number of GGAC Ordinary Shares received pursuant to Section 1.1 hereof, of the Capital Contribution.

 

(ii)          The aggregate liability of the GGAC Indemnified Parties for Losses pursuant to Section 7.1(b) hereof shall not in any event exceed a number of newly issued GGAC Ordinary Shares equal to the number of Escrow Shares.

7.5           Exclusive Remedy. GGAC, on behalf of itself and the other GGAC Indemnified Parties, and Controlling Persons and the Optionholders, on behalf of the themselves and the other Company Indemnified Parties, hereby acknowledge and agree that, from and after the Closing, the sole remedy of the Indemnified Parties with respect to any and all claims for money damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be pursuant and subject to the requirements of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VII. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing contained in this Article VII shall in any way impair, modify or otherwise limit a Indemnified Parties right to bring any claim, demand or suit against the other party based upon such other party’s actual fraud or intentional or willful misrepresentation or omission, it being understood that a mere breach of a representation and warranty, without intentional or willful misrepresentation or omission, does not constitute fraud.

 

7.6           Adjustment to Investment Consideration and Capital Contribution. Amounts paid for indemnification under Article VII shall be deemed to be an adjustment to the Investment Consideration and Capital Contribution, except as otherwise required by law.

 

7.7           Representative Capacities; Application of Escrow Shares. The parties acknowledge that all actions required or permitted to be taken by the Controlling Persons or the Optionholders in their roles as Company Indemnified Parties or Company Indemnifying Parties under this Article VII shall be taken by the Representative on behalf of such Persons. The Representative’s obligations under this Article VII are solely as a representative of the Controlling Persons and the Optionholders in the manner set forth in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement with respect to the obligations to indemnify the GGAC Indemnified Parties or the right to be indemnified by the GGAC Indemnifying Parties under this Article VII and that the Representative shall have no personal responsibility for any expenses incurred by him in such capacity and that all payments to GGAC Indemnified Parties as a result of such indemnification obligations shall be made solely from, and to the extent of, the Escrow Shares.

The value of the Escrow Shares shall be determined in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent will hold the remaining portion of the Escrow Shares until final resolution of all claims for indemnification or disputes relating thereto.

In calculating the amount of net Tax benefit, the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates shall be presumed to pay Taxes at a forty percent (40%) Tax rate.

It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.

Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Investment Agreement.

 

In order to induce the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement, the undersigned agrees not to, either directly or indirectly, during the “Restricted Period” (as hereinafter defined):

 

(1)sell or offer or contract to sell or offer, grant any option or warrant for the sale of, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise encumber or dispose of (all being referred to as a “Transfer”) any legal or beneficial interest in any GGAC Ordinary Shares, issued to the undersigned in connection with the Investment Agreement (the “Restricted Securities”);

 

(2)enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of any of the Restricted Securities, whether such swap transaction is to be settled by delivery of any Restricted Securities or other securities of any person, in cash or otherwise; or

 

(3)publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement relating to any of the Restricted Securities.

 

As used herein, “Restricted Period” means the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending (1) with respect to 50% of the GGAC Ordinary Shares issued to the undersigned, the earlier of one year after the Closing Date and the date on which the closing price of the GGAC Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $13.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after the Closing Date and (2) with respect to the remaining 50% of the GGAC Ordinary Shares issued to the undersigned, one year after the Closing Date, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to the Closing Date, GGAC consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of its shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

 

1
 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations, the undersigned may, either during the undersigned’s lifetime or upon the undersigned’s death, Transfer any or all of the Restricted Securities, (i) in a transaction that does not involve a public offering (as such term is used in the Federal securities laws of the United States) and is not made through a securities exchange or an over-the-counter securities market; (ii) by gift, will or intestate succession, judicial decree or other transfer to the undersigned’s Family Members (as defined below) or to a trust, corporation, partnership, limited liability company or similar entity, the beneficiaries, stockholders, partners, members or other equity holders of which are the undersigned or the undersigned’s Family Members or a charitable organization; (iii) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; or (iv) to Affiliates of the undersigned or any investment fund or entity controlled or managed by the undersigned or its Affiliates, including, without limitation, if the undersigned is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity, a distribution of securities to partners, members, stockholders or other equity holders of the undersigned; provided, however, that in each and any such event it shall be a condition to the Transfer that the transferee executes a lock-up agreement with terms and restrictions no less restrictive than the provisions of this Lock-Up Agreement. For purposes of this Lock-Up Agreement, “Family Member” shall mean spouse, lineal descendants, stepchildren, father, mother, brother or sister of the transferor or of the transferor’s spouse.

 

Nothing in this Lock-Up Agreement shall prevent the establishment by the undersigned of any contract, instruction or plan (a “Plan”) that satisfies all of the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; provided that it shall be a condition to the establishment of any such Plan that no sales of GGAC’s share capital shall be made pursuant to such a plan prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period; and provided, further, such a Plan may only be established if no public announcement of the establishment or the existence thereof, and no filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or any other regulatory authority shall be required or shall be made voluntarily by the undersigned, GGAC or any other person, prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period.

 

Any of the Restricted Securities subject to this Lock-Up Agreement may be released, from time to time, in whole or part from the terms hereof upon the consent of the Committee.

 

GGAC hereby represents and warrants to the undersigned that the lock-up restrictions set forth herein are no more restrictive to the undersigned than those lock-up restrictions applicable to Mario Garnero, Javier Martin Riva, John Tonelli, Corrado Clini and Nelson Narcisco Filho (collectively, the “Sponsors”) in that certain Share Escrow Agreement, dated as of June 25, 2014, by and among GGAC, the Sponsors and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as escrow agent (the “Sponsor Lock-Up Restrictions”).

 

If any Sponsor is granted early release from its Sponsor Lock-Up Restrictions during the applicable restricted period, then the undersigned shall also be granted an early release upon similar terms and conditions from its obligations hereunder on a pro-rata basis based on the maximum percentage of GGAC Ordinary Shares held by such Sponsor which are being released. In the event that any such Sponsor’s Sponsor Lock-Up Restrictions are otherwise amended, waived or modified in a manner that makes the lock-up restrictions set forth herein more restrictive to the undersigned than the Sponsor Lock-Up Restrictions, this Lock-Up Agreement shall be promptly amended to be no more restrictive to the undersigned than such amended, waived or modified Sponsor Lock-Up Restrictions. GGAC shall use reasonable efforts to provide at least ten days’ prior written notice to the undersigned upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing.

 

The undersigned hereby authorizes GGAC’s transfer agent to apply to any certificates representing Restricted Securities issued to the undersigned the appropriate legend to reflect the existence and general terms of this Lock-Up Agreement.

 

This Lock-Up Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors, assigns and legal representatives, and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed therein. All disputes arising under this Agreement shall be handled in accordance with Section 10.12 of the Investment Agreement.

As promptly as practicable, but at least ten (10) Business Days after receiving such Shelf Takedown Request, the Company shall give written notice (the “Shelf Takedown Notice”) of such Shelf Takedown Request to all other Holders of Shelf Registrable Securities. The Company, subject to Sections 2.2 and 11.1 hereof, shall include in such Underwritten Takedown the Shelf Registrable Securities of any Holder of Shelf Registrable Securities that shall have made a written request to the Company for inclusion in such Underwritten Takedown (which request shall specify the maximum number of Shelf Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder) within seven Business Days after the receipt of the Shelf Takedown Notice. The Company shall, as expeditiously as possible, but in any event within seventy-five (75) days following delivery of the Shelf Takedown Notice if the requesting Holders have received a signed engagement letter from an underwriter relating to such Underwritten Takedown, use its reasonable best efforts to file a prospectus supplement, or post-effective amendment (if applicable), relating to such Underwritten Takedown, to the extent necessary to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof as aforesaid) of the Registrable Securities to be so offered. Each Holder agrees that such Holder shall treat as confidential the receipt of the Shelf Takedown Notice and shall not disclose or use the information contained in such Shelf Takedown Notice without the prior written consent of the Company until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally, other than as a result of disclosure by the Holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement.

2.3       Restrictions on Shelf Offerings.

 

(a)       The Company may suspend, for a period of up to sixty (60) days from the date of delivery of a Suspension Notice below (a “Suspension Period”), the use of a prospectus that is part of a Shelf Registration Statement (and therefore suspend sales of the Shelf Registrable Securities) by providing written notice to the Holders of Registrable Securities if the Company’s board of directors determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that the offer or sale of Registrable Securities would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the Company to engage in any material acquisition of assets or stock (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any material merger, consolidation, tender offer, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar transaction involving the Company; provided that in such event, the Holders of Registrable Securities shall be entitled to withdraw such request for an Underwritten Takedown and the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with such Underwritten Takedown. The Company may extend the Suspension Period of a Shelf Registration Statement for an additional consecutive sixty (60) days with the consent of the Requisite Holders. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, the Company may not suspend usage of a Registration Statement in this manner more than a total of ninety (90) days in any twelve-month period.

 

(b)       In the case of an event that causes the Company to suspend the use of a Shelf Registration Statement as set forth in paragraph (a) above or pursuant to Section 6.10 (a “Suspension Event”), the Company shall give a notice to the Holders of Registrable Securities registered pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement (a “Suspension Notice”) to suspend sales of the Registrable Securities and such notice shall state generally the basis for the notice and that such suspension shall continue only for so long as the Suspension Event or its effect is continuing. A Holder shall not effect any sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement (or such filings) at any time after it has received a Suspension Notice from the Company and prior to receipt of an End of Suspension Notice. Each Holder agrees that such Holder shall treat as confidential the receipt of the Suspension Notice and shall not disclose or use the information contained in such Suspension Notice without the prior written consent of the Company until such time as the information contained therein is or becomes available to the public generally, other than as a result of disclosure by the Holder in breach of the terms of this Agreement. The Holders may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement (or such filings) following further written notice to such effect (an “End of Suspension Notice”) from the Company, which End of Suspension Notice shall be given by the Company to the Holders and to the Holders’ counsel, if any, promptly following the conclusion of any Suspension Event and its effect.

2.4       Selection of Underwriters. In an Underwritten Takedown, the Requisite Holders who requested such Underwritten Takedown shall have the right to select an underwriter or underwriters to administer the Underwritten Takedown, which underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. In connection with an underwritten offering (including an Underwritten Takedown), the Company shall enter into customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities in such underwritten offering, including, if necessary, the engagement of a “qualified independent underwriter” in connection with the qualification of the underwriting arrangements with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.

 

2.5       Other Registration Rights. Except as provided in this Agreement, the Company shall not grant to any persons the right to request the Company or any subsidiary to register any capital stock of the Company or any subsidiary, or any securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for such securities, without the prior written consent of the Requisite Holders, provided that such consent shall not be required with respect to an agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company related to the filing of a resale shelf registration statement to register shares issued to such holder or prospective holder in an acquisition, if and only if such resale shelf registration statement does not permit underwritten offerings.

 

  3. PIGGYBACK RIGHTS.

(a)       Other than in connection with a registration on Form S-4 or S-8 promulgated by the SEC and any successor or similar forms, if at any time the Company proposes to register any of its Ordinary Shares and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of Registrable Securities (a “Piggyback Registration”), then as soon as practicable but not less than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the filing of such Registration Statement, the Company shall give prompt written notice of its intention to effect such a registration to the Holders (a “Piggyback Notice”), and subject to Sections 3.2 and 3.3, shall use its reasonable best efforts to include in such Piggyback Registration (and in all related registrations or qualifications under blue sky laws and in any related underwritten offering) such number of Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within twenty (20) Business Days. Prior to the commencement of any “road show,” any Holder shall have the right to withdraw its request for inclusion of its Registrable Securities in any registration by giving written notice to the Company of its request to withdraw and such withdrawal shall be irrevocable and, after making such withdrawal, such Holder shall no longer have any right to include Registrable Securities in the Piggyback Registration as to which such withdrawal was made.

Registrable Securities beneficially owned by any executive officer of the Company shall not be eligible to be included in any primary offering of Ordinary Shares without the Company’s consent.

6.19     during the Effectiveness Period, if at any time when the Company is required to re-evaluate its WKSI status the Company determines that it is not a WKSI, use its reasonable best efforts to refile the Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 or Form F-3 and, if such form is not available, Form S-1 or Form F-1, and keep such registration statement effective during the Effectiveness Period; and

 

6.20     otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders, in connection with such registration.

 

  7. INDEMNIFICATION.

 

7.1       The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the partners, members, officers, directors, stockholders, legal counsel and accountants of each Holder and any other person, if any, who controls each Holder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that this Section 7 shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information about any Holder furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), or any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

 

7.2       Each Holder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act severally and not jointly against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in Section 7.1, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information about such Holder furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

 

15
 

 

7.3       Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 7 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be withheld unreasonably) and shall not without the consent of the Indemnified Party, be counsel to the Indemnifying Party. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel to participate in the defense of such proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; (iii) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interest between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel which shall be limited to one firm in any jurisdiction) for all Indemnified Parties, and that all such reasonable fees and expenses shall be paid or reimbursed as they are incurred upon receipt from the Indemnified Party of a written request for payment thereof accompanied by a written statement with reasonable supporting detail of such fees and expenses. The failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 7 only if such failure is materially prejudicial to the ability of the Indemnifying Party to defend such action, and such failure shall in no event relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that he or it may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Section 7. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement unless such settlement (x) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability with respect to such claim or litigation, and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

 

7.4       If the indemnification provided under this Section 7 hereof from the Indemnifying Party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party in respect of any loss, liability, claim, damage and expense referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying the Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage and expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the Indemnifying Party’s and Indemnified Party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this Section 7.4 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 7.4. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 7.4 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

16
 

 

7.5       The indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

  8. Information by Holders and Other Shareholders.

 

Each Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the distribution proposed by such Holder as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any Registration Statement.

 

  9. Rule 144 Reporting.

 

With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC that may permit the sale of the Ordinary Shares to the public without registration, the Company shall for so long as Registrable Securities are outstanding:

 

(a)       make and keep public information available as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

 

(b)       file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act; and

 

(c)       so long as any Holder owns any securities constituting or representing Registrable Securities, furnish to such Holder upon request a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, and of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act.

 

  10. Removal of Legends.

 

If requested by a Holder, the Company shall cooperate with such Holder and the Company’s transfer agent to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (or execution of a book entry transfer) representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to the Registration Statement, which certificates or transfer shall be free, to the extent permitted by applicable law and permissible under the terms of the Investment Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holders may reasonably request.

 

17
 

 

  11. Underwritten Offerings.

 

11.1     Underwriting Arrangements. No Holder of Registrable Securities may participate in any offering hereunder which is underwritten unless such Holder (i) agrees to sell such Holder’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the person or persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements (including, without limitation, pursuant to any over-allotment or “green shoe” option requested by the underwriters; provided that no Holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to sell more than the number of Registrable Securities such Holder has requested to include) and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, custody agreements, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. Each Holder of Registrable Securities shall execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company and the lead managing underwriter(s) that are consistent with such Holder’s obligations under Section 4 and this Section 11.1 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.

 

11.2     Price and Underwriting Discounts. In the case of an Underwritten Takedown requested by Holders pursuant to this Agreement, the price, underwriting discount and other financial terms of the related underwriting agreement for the Registrable Securities shall be determined by the Requisite Holders who requested such underwritten offering.

 

  12. MISCELLANEOUS.

 

12.1     Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand delivery, by electronic facsimile transfer or by courier guaranteeing overnight delivery, and shall be deemed given (i) when made, if made by hand delivery, (ii) upon confirmation, if made by electronic facsimile transfer, (iii) one (1) Business Day after being deposited with such courier, if made by overnight courier, to the parties as follows:

 

(a)       if to a Holder, at the address for such Holder then appearing in the books of the Company;

12.2     Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed under the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws and principles thereof. All disputes arising under this Agreement shall be handled in accordance with Section 10.12 of the Investment Agreement.

 

12.3     Successors and Assigns. Subject to any Lock-Up Period to which a Holder may be subject, the rights of a Holder hereunder may be assigned and transferred to any transferee acquiring Registrable Securities from such Holder constituting at least 100,000 Registrable Securities (as adjusted for any share dividend, share split, combination or other similar recapitalization); provided, however, that no transferee may be assigned and transferred any of the foregoing rights unless the Company is given a written notice by the assigning and transferring party (not later than the time of such assignment and transfer) stating the name and address of the transferee and identifying the securities of the Company as to which the rights in question are being assigned and transferred. Such transferee shall succeed to all of the rights and obligations of a “Holder of Registrable Securities” under this Agreement by obtaining an executed Addendum Agreement to this Agreement from such Person in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (an “Addendum Agreement”). Upon the execution and delivery of an Addendum Agreement by such Person, the Ordinary Shares acquired by such Person shall constitute Registrable Securities and such Person shall be a Holder of Registrable Securities under this Agreement with respect to the acquired Ordinary Shares, and the Company shall add such Person’s name and address to the Schedule of Investors hereto and circulate such information to the parties to this Agreement.

 

12.4     Additional Parties. Subject to the prior written consent of the Company, any Person who acquires Ordinary Shares or rights to acquire Ordinary Shares from an existing Holder after the date hereof shall become a party to this Agreement and succeed to all of the rights and obligations of a “Holder of Registrable Securities” under this Agreement by executing an Addendum Agreement. Upon the execution and delivery of an Addendum Agreement by such Person, the Ordinary Shares acquired by such Person shall constitute Registrable Securities and such Person shall be a Holder of Registrable Securities under this Agreement with respect to the acquired Ordinary Shares, and the Company shall add such Person’s name and address to the Schedule of Investors hereto and circulate such information to the parties to this Agreement.

 

12.5     Captions. The captions of the several sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are included for reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning thereof.

 

12.6     Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived only with the prior written consent of the Company and Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities; provided that no such amendment, modification or waiver that would materially and adversely affect a Holder or group of Holders of Registrable Securities in a manner materially different than any other Holder or group of Holders of Registrable Securities (other than amendments and modifications required to implement the provisions of Section 12.4), shall be effective against such Holder or group of Holders of Registrable Securities without the consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities that are held by the group of Holders that is materially and adversely affected thereby. The failure or delay of any Person to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the right of such Person thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. A waiver or consent to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of his, her or its obligations under this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person under this Agreement.

 

19
 

 

12.7     Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

 

12.8     Remedies. The parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce their rights under this Agreement specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages caused by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in their favor. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that a breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable harm and money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any such breach and that, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing hereunder, any party shall be entitled to specific performance and/or other injunctive relief from any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or other security) in order to enforce or prevent violation of the provisions of this Agreement.

 

12.9     Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby, and the parties hereto shall use their reasonable best efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of the parties hereto shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

12.10   No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees and acknowledges that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement, shall be had against any current or future director, officer, employee, general or limited partner or member of any Holder of Registrable Securities or of any Affiliate or assignee thereof, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any current or future officer, agent or employee of any Holder of Registrable Securities or any current or future member of any Holder of Registrable Securities or any current or future director, officer, employee, partner or member of any Holder of Registrable Securities or of any Affiliate or assignee thereof, as such for any obligation of any Holder of Registrable Securities under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation.

 

20
 

 

12.11   Entire Agreement. This Agreement is intended by the parties hereto as a final expression of their agreement and is intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and the registration rights granted by the Company with respect to the Registrable Securities.

 

12.12   Other Registration Rights. The Company represents and warrants that no person, other than a Holder of Registrable Securities, has any right to require the Company to register any securities of the Company for sale or to include such securities of the Company in any registration filed by the Company for the sale of securities for its own account or for the account of any other person. This Agreement supersedes any other registration rights agreement or similar agreement with any Holder, including, without limitation, the Prior Agreement, and the Prior Agreement is hereby terminated. After the date of this Agreement, subject to Section 2.5, the Company shall not enter into any agreement with any Holder or prospective Holder of any securities of the Company that would grant such Holder registration rights on a parity with or senior to those granted to the Holders hereunder without the prior written consent of the Holders at the time in question.

 

12.13   Further Assurances. At any time or from time to time after the date hereof, the parties hereto agree to cooperate with each other, and at the request of any other party, to execute and deliver any further instruments or documents and to take all such further action as the other party may reasonably request in order to evidence or effect the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and to otherwise carry out the intent of the parties hereunder.

 

12.14   No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company shall not hereafter enter into any agreement with respect to its securities which is inconsistent with or violates the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement.

Exhibit 10.3

 

ESCROW AGREEMENT

 

THIS ESCROW AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated __________, 20__, is entered into by and among GARNERO GROUP ACQUISITION COMPANY, a Cayman Islands company (“GGAC”), __________ and __________, acting as the Committee (as such term is defined in the Investment Agreement (as defined below)), ALVARO JABUR MALUF JUNIOR, acting as the representative (the “Representative”) of the Controlling Persons and the Optionholders (as such terms are defined in that Investment Agreement), and CONTINENTAL STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”). Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Investment Agreement.

 

WHEREAS, GGAC, Q1 Comercial de Roupas S.A. (the “Company”), the Controlling Persons and the Optionholders (collectively, the “Owners” and together with their permitted transferees, the “Owner Parties”) have entered into that certain Investment Agreement, dated as of August 26, 2015 (the “Investment Agreement”), pursuant to which the Owners have contributed to GGAC all of the outstanding ordinary shares of the Company in exchange for certain ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of GGAC (“GGAC Ordinary Shares”).

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Investment Agreement, GGAC is to be indemnified in certain respects by the Owners.

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Investment Agreement, a portion of the GGAC Ordinary Shares issued to the Owners are required to be surrendered to GGAC for cancellation in the event that the Company does not attain certain financial performance targets.

 

WHEREAS, the parties desire to establish an escrow fund as collateral security for the foregoing obligations, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

The parties agree as follows:

 

1.          (a)          Concurrently with the execution hereof, an aggregate of six hundred thousand (600,000) GGAC Ordinary Shares issued to the Owners at the Closing pursuant to the Investment Agreement, registered in the name of and allocated among the Owners in the amounts set forth on Schedule A attached hereto, together with two (2) instruments of assignment executed in blank by each such Owner, shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent to be held in escrow pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The GGAC Ordinary Shares so delivered by the Owners to the Escrow Agent are herein referred to in the aggregate as the “Escrow Fund.” The Escrow Agent shall maintain a separate account for each Owner’s, and, subsequent to any transfer permitted pursuant to Section 1(d) hereof, each Owner Party’s, portion of the Escrow Fund.

 

(a)          The parties hereto hereby appoint the Escrow Agent to act, and the Escrow Agent hereby agrees to act, as escrow agent and to hold, safeguard and disburse the Escrow Fund pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof. It shall treat the Escrow Fund as a trust fund in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and not as the property of GGAC. The Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder shall terminate upon its distribution of the entire Escrow Fund in accordance with this Agreement.

 

-1-
 

 

(b)         Except as herein provided, the Owners shall retain all of their rights as shareholders of GGAC with respect to the GGAC Ordinary Shares constituting the Escrow Fund during the period the Escrow Fund is held by the Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Period”), including, without limitation, the right to vote their GGAC Ordinary Shares included in the Escrow Fund.

 

(c)          During the Escrow Period, all dividends payable in cash, shares (except as provided in the following sentence) or other non-cash property with respect to the GGAC Ordinary Shares included in the Escrow Fund shall be paid to the Owners. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if after the date hereof, the number of outstanding GGAC Ordinary Shares is increased by a share dividend payable without any further consideration in GGAC Ordinary Shares, or by a split up of the GGAC Ordinary Shares, or other similar event, then all such GGAC Ordinary Shares issued in respect of the GGAC Ordinary Shares then comprising the Escrow Fund as a result of such action (“Dividend Shares”) shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent to hold in accordance with the terms hereof. As used herein, the term “Escrow Fund” shall be deemed to include the Dividends Shares distributed thereon, if any.

 

(d)          During the Escrow Period, no sale, transfer or other disposition, including any pledge or grant of a security interest, may be made of any or all of the GGAC Ordinary Shares in the Escrow Fund, unless the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of the applicable provisions of the Investment Agreement and to appoint the Representative to take any and all actions and make any decisions required or permitted to be taken on the behalf of the transferee under the Investment Agreement and this Agreement. In connection with and as a condition to each such transfer, the transferee shall deliver to the Escrow Agent an instrument of assignment executed by the transferring Owner Party, or where applicable, an order of a court of competent jurisdiction, evidencing the transfer of shares to the transferee, together with two (2) instruments of assignment executed in blank by the transferee, with respect to the shares transferred to the transferee. Upon receipt of such documents, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to GGAC’s transfer agent the instrument of assignment executed by the transferring Owner Party, and shall request that transfer agent transfer the shares to the transferee. GGAC, the transferring Owner Party and the transferee shall cooperate in all respects with the Escrow Agent in documenting each such transfer and in effectuating the result intended to be accomplished thereby.

 

2.          (a)          GGAC, acting through the Committee, may make a claim for indemnification pursuant to the Investment Agreement (“Indemnification Claim”) against the Escrow Fund by giving notice (a “Notice”) to the Representative (the party against whom a claim is being made, the “Indemnifying Party”), with a copy to the Escrow Agent, specifying (i) the provision contained in the Investment Agreement which it asserts has been breached or otherwise entitles such party to indemnification, (ii) in reasonable detail, the nature and dollar amount of any Indemnification Claim, and (iii) whether the Indemnification Claim results from a Third Party Claim. Furthermore, if the Indemnification Claim results from a Third Party Claim, the Notice shall specify whether the Loss may be covered (in whole or in part) under any insurance and the estimated amount of such Loss which may be covered under such insurance. The party giving Notice (the “Claimant”) also shall deliver to the Escrow Agent (with a copy to the Indemnifying Party), concurrently with its delivery to the Escrow Agent of the Notice, a certification as to the date on which the Notice was delivered to the Indemnifying Party.

 

-2-
 

 

(b)          If the Indemnifying Party shall give a notice to the Claimant (with a copy to the Escrow Agent) (a “Counter Notice”), within 30 days following the date of receipt (as specified in the Claimant’s certification) by the Indemnifying Party of a copy of the Notice, disputing whether the Indemnification Claim is indemnifiable under the Investment Agreement, the Committee and the Representative shall attempt to resolve such dispute by voluntary settlement as provided in Section 2(c) below. If no Counter Notice with respect to an Indemnification Claim is received by the Escrow Agent from the Indemnifying Party within such 30-day period, the Indemnification Claim shall be deemed to be an Established Claim (as hereinafter defined) for purposes of this Agreement.

 

(c)          If the Indemnifying Party delivers a Counter Notice to the Claimant and the Escrow Agent, the Committee and the Representative shall, during the period of 60 days following the delivery of such Counter Notice or such greater period of time as the parties may agree to in writing (with a copy to the Escrow Agent), attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute with respect to which the Counter Notice was given. If the Committee and the Representative shall reach a settlement with respect to any such dispute, they shall jointly deliver written notice of such settlement to the Escrow Agent specifying the terms thereof. If the Committee and the Representative shall be unable to reach a settlement with respect to a dispute, such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration pursuant to Section 2(d) below.

 

(d)          If the Committee and the Representative cannot resolve a dispute prior to expiration of the 60-day period referred to in Section 2(c) above (or such longer period as the parties may have agreed to in writing), then such dispute shall be submitted (and either party may submit such dispute) for resolution in accordance with Section 8.

 

(e)          As used in this Agreement, “Established Claim” means any (i) Indemnification Claim deemed established pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2(b) above, (ii) Indemnification Claim resolved in favor of a Claimant by settlement and joint delivery of notice to the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 2(c) above, resulting in a dollar award to the Claimant, or (iii) Indemnification Claim sustained by a final determination of an arbitration panel in accordance with Section 8 (after exhaustion of any appeals to a court of competent jurisdiction or expiration of the time period for filing any such appeal); provided that, notwithstanding anything herein, no Indemnification Claim by GGAC shall become an Established Claim (x) unless the indemnifiable Losses with respect to such Indemnification Claim exceed $30,000 (the “De Minimis Amount”) and (y) unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnification Losses exceeds the Deductible, in which event the full amount of such Established Claim(s) shall be payable, in each case, with respect to Indemnification Claims subject to such limitations pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement.

 

(f)          (i)          Promptly after an Indemnification Claim becomes an Established Claim, the Committee shall deliver a Claim Certification & Instructions in accordance with Section 3(b) below directing the Escrow Agent to pay to the Claimant, and the Escrow Agent promptly shall pay from the Escrow Fund to the Claimant in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3(b) below, a whole number of shares (as calculated pursuant to Section 2(f)(ii) below) representing the dollar amount (as rounded pursuant to Section 2(f)(ii) below) of the Established Claim (or, if at such time there remains in the Escrow Fund less than the full amount so payable, the full amount remaining in the Escrow Fund).

 

-3-
 

 

(ii)          Payment to GGAC of an Established Claim shall be made from Escrow Shares on a pro rata basis in whole, not fractional, shares, as rounded pursuant to the following sentence, from the accounts maintained on behalf of each Owner Party. For purposes of each indemnification payment, (x) such shares shall be valued at the “Fair Market Value” (as defined below) and (y) to the extent that an Owner Party’s pro rata portion of an Established Claim which is payable after taking into account the Deductible and the De Minimis Amount results in a fractional number of GGAC Ordinary Shares, any fraction of such GGAC Ordinary Share that is less than one half of a share will be rounded down to the next whole share and any fraction of such GGAC Ordinary Share that is equal to or more than one half of a share will be rounded up to the next whole share. However, in no event shall the Escrow Agent be required to calculate Fair Market Value or make a determination of the number of shares to be delivered or released in satisfaction of any Established Claim; rather, such calculation shall be included in and made part of the Claim Certification & Instructions. The Escrow Agent shall transfer out of the Escrow Fund that number of GGAC Ordinary Shares necessary to satisfy each Established Claim (after taking into account the Deductible and the De Minimis Amount), as set out in the Claim Certification & Instructions. Any dispute between the Committee and the Representative concerning the calculation of Fair Market Value or the number of shares necessary to satisfy any Established Claim, or any other dispute regarding a Claim Certification & Instructions, shall be resolved between the Committee and the Representative in accordance with the procedures specified in Section 2(d) above, and shall not involve the Escrow Agent. Each transfer of shares in satisfaction of an Established Claim shall be made by the Escrow Agent delivering to the Claimant GGAC Ordinary Shares held in each Owner Party’s account evidencing not less than such Owner Party’s pro rata portion of the aggregate number of shares specified in the Claim Certification & Instructions, by delivery to GGAC’s transfer agent of instruments of assignment completed by the Escrow Agent in accordance with instructions included in the Claim Certification & Instructions. The parties hereto (other than the Escrow Agent) agree that the foregoing right to make payments of Established Claims in GGAC Ordinary Shares may be made notwithstanding any other agreements restricting or limiting the ability of any Owner Party to sell any GGAC Ordinary Shares or otherwise. The Committee and the Representative shall be required to exercise utmost good faith in all matters relating to the preparation and delivery of the Claim Certification & Instructions and Pending Claim Objection Notice, as applicable. As used herein, “Fair Market Value” means the average reported closing price for the GGAC Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq for the thirty trading days ending on the last trading day prior to (x) the day the Established Claim is paid with respect to Indemnification Claims paid on or before the Escrow Termination Date and (y) the Escrow Termination Date with respect to shares constituting the Pending Claims Reserve (as hereinafter defined), as applicable.

 

(iii)          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at such time as an Indemnification Claim has become an Established Claim, the Owner Parties shall have the right but not the obligation to substitute for the Escrow Shares that otherwise would be paid in satisfaction of such claim (the “Claim Shares”), cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the Claim Shares (“Substituted Cash”). In such event, within the ten (10) day objection period following delivery of the Claim Certification & Instructions, (i) the Representative shall deliver a written notice to the Escrow Agent (with a copy to the Committee) describing the substitution of Substituted Cash for the Claim Shares, and (ii) substantially contemporaneously with the delivery of such notice, the Owner Parties shall cause currently available funds to be delivered to the Escrow Agent in an amount equal to the Substituted Cash. Upon receipt of such notice and Substituted Cash, the Escrow Agent shall (y) in payment of the Established Claim described in the Claim Certification & Instructions, deliver the Substituted Cash to GGAC in lieu of the Claim Shares, and (z) cause the Claim Shares to be returned to the Owners.

3.          (a)          On the Basic Indemnity Escrow Termination Date, upon the Escrow Agent’s receipt of a notice jointly delivered by the Representative and the Committee (a “Joint Notice”), the Escrow Agent shall (i) distribute and deliver (A) to GGAC, the number of GGAC Ordinary Shares specified in such Joint Notice, pro rata in whole, not fractional, shares, as rounded pursuant to Section 2(f)(ii), from the accounts maintained on behalf of the Owner Parties and (B) to each Owner Party, the GGAC Ordinary Shares then in such Owner Party’s account in the Escrow Fund (after taking into account any distribution to GGAC pursuant to the foregoing clause (A)), in each case, as instructed in the Joint Notice; and (ii) shall continue to hold in accordance with the instructions in the Joint Notice (A) the number of shares in the Pending Claims Reserve allocated to such Owner Party’s account, with respect to Indemnification Claims pursuant to which Notices have been received but which have not been resolved pursuant to Section 2 hereof or in respect of which the Escrow Agent has not been notified of, and received a copy of, a final determination of an arbitration panel in accordance with Section 8 (after exhaustion of any appeals to a court of competent jurisdiction or expiration of the time period for filing any such appeal), as the case may be (in either case, “Pending Claims”), and which, if resolved or finally determined in favor of a Claimant, would result in a payment to Claimant, having a Fair Market Value equal to the dollar amount for which indemnification is sought in such Indemnification Claim, allocated pro rata from the account maintained on behalf of each Owner Party, and (B) the remaining Tax Indemnity Shares allocated to such Owner Party’s account. The Committee and the Representative shall certify to the Escrow Agent the Fair Market Value to be used in calculating the Pending Claims Reserve and the number of GGAC Ordinary Shares to be retained therefor.

 

(b)          At any time and from time to time, if any Pending Claim becomes an Established Claim, the Committee shall deliver to the Escrow Agent (with a copy to the Representative) a certification by the Committee that such Pending Claim has become an Established Claim and instructions (a “Claim Certification & Instructions”) directing the Escrow Agent to deliver to the Claimant the number of shares in the Pending Claims Reserve in respect thereof determined in accordance with Section 2(f) above and to deliver to each Owner Party the remaining shares in the Pending Claims Reserve allocated to such Pending Claim, all as specified in such notice. If, within ten (10) days following the date of receipt of the Claim Certification & Instructions, the Representative delivers to the Escrow Agent (with a copy to the Committee) written notice disputing such Claim Certification & Instructions (a “Pending Claim Objection Notice”), then the Committee and the Representative shall attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute by voluntary settlement within fifteen (15) days following the delivery of such Pending Claim Objection Notice and shall follow the procedures set forth in the last two sentences of Section 2(c) above. If no Pending Claim Objection Notice is received by the Escrow Agent from the Representative within such ten (10) day period, then the Escrow Agent shall distribute the shares in the Pending Claims Reserve pursuant to the Claim Certification & Instructions. If any Pending Claim is resolved against GGAC, the Representative shall deliver to the Escrow Agent (with a copy to the Committee) a certification by the Representative that such Pending Claim has been resolved against GGAC and instructions directing the Escrow Agent to pay to each Owner Party its pro rata portion of the number of shares allocated to such Pending Claim in the Pending Claims Reserve, except to the extent any such shares constitute Tax Indemnity Shares. If, within ten (10) days following the date of receipt of the Representative’s certification and instructions, the Committee delivers to the Escrow Agent (with a copy to the Representative) a Pending Claim Objection Notice, then the Committee and the Representative shall attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute by voluntary settlement within fifteen (15) days following the delivery of such Pending Claim Objection Notice and shall follow the procedures set forth in the last two sentences of Section 2(c) above. If no Pending Claim Objection Notice is received by the Escrow Agent from the Committee within such ten (10) day period, then the Escrow Agent shall distribute the shares to the Owner Parties pursuant to the certification and instructions provided by the Representative.

(c)          On the Tax Indemnity Escrow Termination Date, upon receipt of instructions from, and a certification by, the Representative (a “Release Certification & Instructions”) (which shall be delivered by the Representative to the Escrow Agent (with a copy to the Committee)), certifying as to the date on which the Company delivered to GGAC its 2017 audited financial statements, the Escrow Agent shall distribute and deliver to each Owner Party the GGAC Ordinary Shares then in such Owner Party’s account in the Escrow Fund that are Tax Indemnity Shares as instructed in the Release Certification & Instructions other than Tax Indemnity Shares in the Pending Claims Reserve; provided, however, that if, within ten (10) days of the Committee’s receipt of a copy of the Release Certification & Instructions, the Committee delivers a written objection to such Release Certification & Instructions (a “Release Objection Notice”) to the Escrow Agent (with a copy to the Representative), the Committee and the Representative shall attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute by voluntary settlement as provided in Section 3(e) below; and provided, further, that the Escrow Agent shall not make any distributions under this Section 3(b) until expiration of the ten (10) day objection period for which no Release Objection Notice has been delivered. Thereafter, if any Pending Claim becomes an Established Claim or is resolved or finally determined against GGAC, the parties hereto shall follow the Pending Claim procedures set forth in Section 3(b) above.

 

(d)          As used herein, the “Pending Claims Reserve” shall mean, at the time any such determination is made, that number of GGAC Ordinary Shares in the Escrow Fund having a Fair Market Value equal to the sum of the aggregate dollar amounts claimed to be due with respect to all Pending Claims.

 

(e)          If the Committee delivers a Release Objection Notice to the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 3(c) above, the Committee and the Representative shall promptly attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute with respect to which such Release Objection Notice was given. If the Committee and the Representative shall reach a settlement on such dispute, they shall jointly deliver notice of such agreement to the Escrow Agent. If the Committee and the Representative shall be unable to reach agreement with respect to a dispute within five (5) Business Days of the Representative’s receipt of a copy of the Release Objection Notice, then the dispute shall be submitted (and either party may submit such dispute) for resolution in accordance with Section 8.

Exhibit 99.1

 

Garnero Group (NASDAQ: GGAC) to Merge with Grupo Colombo

 

NEW YORK, August 27, 2015 -- Garnero Group Acquisition Company (NASDAQ: GGAC), a public investment vehicle formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, acquisition or similar business combination, and Grupo Colombo (“Grupo Colombo” or “GC”), a leading apparel retailer in Brazil, announced today that they have entered into a definitive investment agreement to merge the companies in a transaction valued at approximately $330 million. The combined company will remain listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market and be renamed “Garnero Colombo Inc.”

 

Headquartered in São Paulo, Grupo Colombo is one of Brazil’s leading retailers focusing on menswear, with over 400 stores throughout the country. Founded in 1917, Grupo Colombo is the largest retailer of men’s shirts and suits in Brazil with net revenues of R$550 million ($234 million1) and EBITDA2 of R$133 million ($57 million) in 2014. GC has recently diversified from formalwear into smart casual clothes and has strengthened its online presence to become one of the three most valuable brands within the Brazilian apparel retail sector.

 

Transaction Summary

 

Pursuant to the terms of the proposed business merger, GGAC will become the owner of 100% of the equity of GC by issuing 6,000,000 GGAC shares to GC’s existing shareholders. After the closing of the transaction, the current shareholders and management of GC will own approximately 25%3 of the combined company.

 

In connection with the transaction, the companies have engaged a syndicate of global investment banks to raise up to $100 million in a private placement of new GGAC shares to close simultaneously with the business combination. Additionally in support for the transaction, the shareholders of GC have committed to purchase $30 million of GGAC shares in the public market or through the private placement.

 

Mario Garnero will remain Executive Chairman of Garnero Colombo Inc. and Alvaro Jabur Jr., GC’s Chief Executive Officer, will be appointed as Member of the Board of the merged company. Mr. Jabur will keep his role as Chief Executive Officer to manage the operation in Brazil with the current senior management of Grupo Colombo.

 

The boards of directors of both GGAC and Grupo Colombo have unanimously approved the terms of the transaction, which is expected to be completed by year’s end. The transaction is subject to GGAC shareholder approval, applicable regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

 

“I created GGAC to pursue business opportunities that would provide long term growth and shareholder value,” said Mario Garnero, Executive Chairman of GGAC. “The Colombo brand is highly regarded and we believe the cash infusion, without further changes to operations, will result in immediate and significant improvement in bottom line results.”

 

“We are excited to partner with the GGAC team and to be a public company with access to public markets,” said Alvaro Jabur Jr., CEO of Grupo Colombo. “A stronger balance sheet will improve our pricing, our operating results and provide the capital we need to grow through additional store openings and acquisitions.”

 

 
 

 

UBS Investment Bank is acting as M&A advisor to Grupo Colombo and EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. is acting as M&A advisor to GGAC. McDermott Will & Emery and Souza, Cescon, Barrieu & Flesch are acting as legal advisors to Grupo Colombo and Graubard Miller and Maples & Calder are acting as legal advisors to GGAC.

 

The description of the transaction contained herein is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the definitive agreement relating to the transaction, a copy of which will be filed by GGAC with the SEC as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K. Interested parties should visit the SEC website at www.sec.gov.

 

The GGAC shares offered in the private placement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy GGAC shares, nor shall it constitute an offer or solicitation in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful.

1 The average exchange rate for 2014 is $0.4257:R$1.00.

 

2 EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes depreciation and amortization) is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by Regulation G promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Accordingly, such information may be materially different when presented in GGAC’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. GGAC and GC believe that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure provides information that is useful to investors as it indicates more clearly the ability of GC to meet capital expenditures and working capital requirements and otherwise meet its obligations as they become due. EBITDA was derived by taking earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as adjusted for certain one-time non-recurring items and exclusions.

 

3 Combined company = 36.1 million shares, being GGAC + private placement (public shares) = 22.8 million; GC shares = 9.0 million; and Sponsor shares = 4.3 million (with US$100 million private placement, GC shareholders participating in the private placement and assuming no redemptions).
