(NYSE: “LGC”) (“Legacy”), a publicly-traded Special Purpose Acquisition Company, announced today that, in connection with the previously announced business combination (the “Business Combination”) between Legacy and Onyx Enterprises Int’l, Corp. (“Onyx”), 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 and its warrant agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation (the “Warrant Agent”) entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Warrant Agreement, dated as of November 16, 2017 (“Warrant Amendment”).

The Warrant Amendment provides that, subject to the closing of the Business Combination, each of Legacy’s outstanding public warrants, and certain of Legacy’s private placement warrants which are beneficially owned by certain institutional investors of Legacy Acquisition Sponsor I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), shall no longer be exercisable to purchase one half-share of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A common stock”) for $5.75 per half-share and instead shall be converted into the right to receive an amount of cash and a number of shares of Class A common stock per warrant, to be determined based on the aggregate gross cash in the Company’s trust account at the closing of the Business Combination.

About Legacy Acquisition Corp.

Legacy raised $300 million in November 2017 and its securities are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Legacy is sponsored by a team of proven leaders primarily comprised of former Procter & Gamble executives and is supported by a founder/shareholder group of proven operationally based value builders.
