LGC Legacy Acquisition Corp

Legacy Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: “LGC”) (“Legacy”), a publicly-traded Special Purpose Acquisition Company, announced that, at Legacy’s special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) held virtually at 10:00 am Eastern Time on November 16, 2020, its stockholders approved an amendment to Legacy’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended by that amendment to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation, dated October 22, 2019, as further amended by that second amendment to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation, dated May 18, 2020, as further amended by that third amendment to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation, dated September 4, 2020 (the “Charter Amendment”), to give Legacy the option to extend the date by which Legacy has to consummate a business combination (the “Extension”) from November 20, 2020 to December 31, 2020. At the Special Meeting, Legacy’s stockholders also approved an amendment to Legacy’s investment management trust agreement, dated as of November 16, 2017, as amended by that amendment no. 1 to investment management trust agreement, dated October 22, 2019, as further amended by that amendment no. 2 to investment management trust agreement, dated May 18, 2020, between Legacy and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trust Amendment”), to give Legacy the option to extend the date on which to commence liquidating the trust account established in connection with Legacy’s initial public offering in the event Legacy has not consummated a business combination from November 20, 2020 to December 31, 2020.

As previously announced, Legacy and Onyx Enterprises Int’l, Corp., a New Jersey corporation (“Onyx”), intend to consummate the business combination (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), dated September 18, 2020, by and among Legacy, Excel Merger Sub I, Inc., Excel Merger Sub II, LLC, Onyx and Shareholder Representative Services LLC. Legacy will only implement the Extension (and effect the Charter Amendment and the Trust Amendment), if Legacy’s management does not believe that Legacy will be able to consummate the Business Combination by the current deadline of November 20, 2020.

In connection with the Extension, Legacy’s stockholders elected to redeem 37,291 shares of Legacy’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “public shares”), issued in Legacy’s initial public offering. As a result, an aggregate of approximately $387,200 (or approximately $10.38 per share) will be removed from Legacy’s trust account to pay such stockholders. Following such redemptions, approximately 6,085,408 public shares will remain issued and outstanding.  

As was previously indicated in the definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 4, 2020, in connection with the Extension, Legacy intends to make a cash contribution (“Contribution”) to the trust account in an amount equal to $0.03 for each public share that was not redeemed in connection with the stockholder approval of the Extension Amendment only if the Extension is effected and the Business Combination is not consummated by November 20, 2020. The Contribution (if any) will not accrue interest and the aggregate amount of the Contribution will be calculated and paid in full at the closing of the Business Combination from the proceeds of the Business Combination.

On November 4, 2020, Legacy filed a definitive consent solicitation statement with the SEC in connection with the amendments (the “Warrant Amendments”) to the Warrant Agreement, dated as of November 16, 2017, between Legacy and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agreement”). Legacy must receive consents signed by the holders of at least 65% of the outstanding public warrants in order to approve the Warrant Amendments. As of November 13, 2020, holders of 67.14% of the outstanding public warrants have consented to the Warrant Amendments.

Legacy and Onyx believe that all of the conditions to closing under the Business Combination Agreement have been met or will be met (other than those conditions which by their nature are satisfied simultaneously with closing), and Legacy anticipates that the closing of the Business Combination will occur, on or before November 20, 2020. Legacy management, therefore, believes that the closing of the Business Combination is capable of being consummated substantially contemporaneously with the expiration of the tender offer at 12:01 a.m. Eastern on November 19, 2020 (or within three business days thereafter).  

About Legacy Acquisition Corp.
