This Amendment No. 4 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO originally filed by Westrock Coffee Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “us,” or “we”), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“the SEC”) on August 28, 2024 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Schedule TO”). The Schedule TO relates to an offer by the Company to all holders of the Company’s warrants, including the public warrants and the private placement warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“common shares”), to receive 0.290 common shares in exchange for each outstanding warrant tendered by the holder and exchanged pursuant to the offer (the “Offer”).
Concurrently with the Offer, we also solicited consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) from holders of the warrants to amend that certain amended and restated warrant agreement, dated as of August 25, 2022, by and between the Company and Computershare Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its affiliate, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., a federally chartered trust company, as warrant agent, to permit the Company to require that each (x) public warrant that is outstanding upon the closing of the Offer be exchanged for 0.261 common shares, which is a ratio 10% less than the exchange ratio applicable to the Offer and (y) that each private placement warrant that is outstanding upon the closing of the Offer be exchanged for 0.261 common shares, which is a ratio 10% less than the exchange ratio applicable to the Offer.
On September 26, 2024, the Offer and Consent Solicitation expired. This Amendment No. 4 is being filed to report the results of the Offer.
This Amendment No. 4 shall be read together with the Schedule TO. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 4 does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Schedule TO.
Item 11. Additional Information.
Item 11(b) of the Schedule TO is hereby replaced with the following paragraph:
“The Offer and Consent Solicitation expired on September 26, 2024, at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time (the “Expiration Date”), in accordance with its terms. The Company has been advised that as of the Expiration Date, (x) 16,676,541 outstanding public warrants were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Offer and Consent Solicitation, representing approximately 97.42% of the public warrants and (y) 2,026,046 outstanding private placement warrants were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Offer and Consent Solicitation, representing 100% of the private placement warrants. The Company has accepted all validly tendered public warrants and private placement warrants for exchange and expects settlement to occur on or about September 30, 2024. In addition, pursuant to the Consent Solicitation, the Company received the approval of holders of approximately 97.42% of the outstanding public warrants and 100% of the outstanding private placement warrants to adopt the Warrant Amendment (as defined in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange), which exceeds (x) the required 50% threshold of the outstanding public warrants required to amend the Warrant Agreement with respect to the public warrants and (y) the required 50% threshold of the outstanding private placement warrants required to amend the Warrant Agreement with respect to the private placement warrants. Accordingly, the Company expects to execute the Warrant Amendment (as defined in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange) concurrently with the settlement of the Offer.
On September 27, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing the results of the Offer as set forth above. A copy of the press release is filed herewith as Exhibit (a)(5)(B).”
