INTRODUCTORY NOTE

On June 25, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), Forest Road Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (prior to the Closing Date, “Forest Road”), consummated the previously announced business combination (“Business Combination”) with The Beachbody Company Group, LLC., a Delaware limited liability company (“Old Beachbody”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 9, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Forest Road, BB Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Forest Road (“BB Merger Sub”), MFH Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Forest Road (“Myx Merger Sub”), Old Beachbody and Myx Fitness Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Myx”). In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, the registrant changed its name from Forest Road Acquisition Corp. to The Beachbody Company, Inc. (“New Beachbody”). New Beachbody will continue the existing business operations of Old Beachbody as a publicly traded company.

As used in this Current Report on Form 8-K, unless otherwise stated or the context clearly indicates otherwise, the terms the “Registrant,” “Company,” “New Beachbody,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to The Beachbody Company, Inc., and its subsidiaries at and after the Closing Date and giving effect to the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Closing”) and the term “Old Beachbody” refers to The Beachbody Company Group, LLC, and its subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date and without giving effect to the Closing.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Registration Rights Agreement

On June 25, 2021, in connection with the completion of the Business Combination and as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Company, certain stockholders of Old Beachbody and Forest Road Acquisition Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”) entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). The material terms of the Registration Rights Agreement are described in the final prospectus and definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 27, 2021 beginning on page 114 under the heading “The Business Combination Proposal —Related Agreements —The Registration Rights Agreement.” Such description is qualified in its entirety by the text of the Registration Rights Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 10.3 to this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

Credit Agreement Amendment

As previously disclosed, on December 14, 2018, Beachbody, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BB”) as a borrower, entered into a Credit Agreement with Old Beachbody and certain of BB’s subsidiaries, as guarantors, the lenders party thereto from time to time and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and letter of credit issuer (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, on June 23, 2021, BB entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Seventh Amendment”), which, among other things, (a) permits the consummation of the Business Combination and certain other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and (b) amends certain terms of the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) enable Old Beachbody and BB to consummate the Business Combination and certain other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (ii) require that New Beachbody join the Credit Agreement as a parent guarantor thereunder, and (iii) require that Myx Fitness, LLC join the Credit Agreement as a subsidiary guarantor thereunder. The consents and amendments to the Credit Agreement under the Seventh Amendment are subject to the consummation of the Business Combination and certain other customary closing conditions.

 

2

The foregoing description of the Seventh Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Seventh Amendment, which is included as Exhibit 10.6 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition of Disposition of Assets.

A special meeting of Forest Road stockholders was held on June 24, 2021 (the “Special Meeting”), where the Forest Road stockholders considered and approved, among other matters, a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement.

Prior to the Special Meeting, holders of 8,383,485 shares of Forest Road’s Class A common stock sold in its initial public offering (“Public Shares”) exercised their right to redeem those shares for cash at a price of approximately $10.00 per share, for an aggregate of $83,837,574.56. Immediately after giving effect to the Business Combination (including as a result of the redemptions described above), there were 163,175,632 issued and outstanding shares of New Beachbody Class A common stock and 141,251,310 issued and outstanding shares of New Beachbody Class X common stock. Upon the Closing, Forest Road’s Class A common stock and warrants ceased trading, and New Beachbody Class A common stock and warrants began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Forest Road’s public units automatically separated into their component securities upon consummation of the Business Combination and, as a result, no longer trade as a separate security and were delisted from NYSE. As of the Closing Date, our directors and executive officers and affiliated entities beneficially owned an aggregate of approximately 53.4% of the outstanding shares of New Beachbody Class A common stock and Class X common stock, and the former securityholders of Forest Road beneficially owned approximately 7.1% of the outstanding shares of New Beachbody Class A common stock and Class X common stock.

General Description of New Employment Agreement

In connection with the Closing of the Business Combination, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved, and the Company entered into, an employment agreement with Susan Collyns (the “employment agreement”), which provides for Ms. Collyns’ continued employment with the Company as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. The employment agreement supersedes and replaces the prior employment agreement between the Company and Ms. Collyns, dated as of June 25, 2014. The material terms of the employment agreement are as follows:

Under the employment agreement, Ms. Collyns reports to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Ms. Collyns’ employment under the employment agreement is at-will and will continue until terminated at any time by any party in accordance with the terms of the employment agreement.

In addition, the employment agreement provides for: (i) an annual base salary of $600,000, payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices and which may be increased (but not decreased) in the sole discretion of the Board; and (ii) effective on the Closing of the Business Combination, a target annual bonus opportunity equal to 75% of Ms. Collyns’ annual base salary, based on the achievement of individual and/or Company performance goals as determined by the Board in its sole discretion. Any such annual bonus earned by Ms. Collyns shall be payable to her on the date annual bonuses are paid to other senior executives of the Company (but in no event later than March 15^th of the year following the year in which such bonus was earned), subject to Ms. Collyns’ continued employment through the applicable payment date. Under the employment agreement, Ms. Collyns (and her spouse and/or eligible dependents) are eligible to participate in the customary health, welfare and fringe benefit plans maintained by the Company for the benefit of its senior executives.

 

10

Under the employment agreement, if Ms. Collyns’ employment is terminated by the Company without “cause” or by Ms. Collyns for “good reason” (each, as defined in the employment agreement), then Ms. Collyns will be entitled to receive the following severance payments and benefits:

 

•

an amount equal to one times Ms. Collyns’ annual base salary as in effect at the time of termination, payable in substantially equal installments over the 12-month period following the termination date;

 

•

a lump sum cash payment equal to Ms. Collyns’ target annual bonus for the year of termination (prorated based on the number of days Ms. Collyns was employed by the Company during such year), payable on the date on which annual bonuses are paid to the Company’s senior executives generally (the “Prorated Target Bonus”);

 

•

continued healthcare coverage for 12 months after the termination date, at the same levels as in effect on the termination date; and

 

•

an additional 12 months of vesting for each outstanding and unvested time-vesting equity award then-held by Ms. Collyns or, if the termination occurs on or within 12 months following a “change in control” (as defined in the employment agreement), full accelerated vesting of all outstanding and unvested time-vesting equity awards then-held by Ms. Collyns.

In addition to the severance payments and benefits described above, if Ms. Collyns’ employment is terminated due to her death or disability, then Ms. Collyns will be entitled to receive (A) the Prorated Target Bonus and (B) an additional 12 months of vesting for each outstanding and unvested time-vesting equity award then-held by Ms. Collyns.

The severance payments and benefits described above are subject to Ms. Collyns’ (i) timely execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims in favor of the Company and (ii) continued compliance with customary confidentiality and non-disclosure restrictions, assignment of inventions covenants and service provider non-solicitation restrictions effective during employment and for the 12 months thereafter.

Further, the employment agreement includes a “best pay” provision under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), pursuant to which any “parachute payments” that become payable to the executive will either be paid in full or reduced so that such payments are not subject to the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, whichever results in the better after-tax treatment to the executive.

The foregoing description of the employment agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.4 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

Transaction Bonus

In connection with the Closing of the Business Combination, the Board approved a one-time cash transaction bonus to certain of its employees, including Ms. Collyns, to reward such employees for their service to the Company and incent such employees to continue in their service to the Company through and following the Closing Date.
