    Item 3.SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

     

    The securities reported herein were received as consideration in connection with a Business Combination (as defined below).

     

    On February 14, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the business combination (the “Closing”) pursuant to that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of June 16, 2021 (as amended, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among the Company, Roth CH III Blocker Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Blocker Merger Sub”), BCP QualTek Investors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Blocker”), Roth CH III Merger Sub, LLC (the “Company Merger Sub”), certain of the Reporting Persons and the other signatories party thereto. The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are collectively referred to herein as the “Business Combination.”

     

    Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement and in connection therewith, Blocker Merger Sub merged with and into the Blocker (the “Blocker Merger”), resulting in the equity interests of the Blocker being converted into the right to receive 11,923,940 shares of Class A Common Stock under the Business Combination Agreement, and the owners of such equity interests in the Blocker (the “Blocker Owners”) being entitled to such shares of Class A Common Stock at the Closing, and thereafter, the surviving blocker merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving company (the “Buyer Merger”), resulting in the cancellation of the equity interests of the surviving blocker and the Company directly owning all of the units of QualTek HoldCo, LLC (f/k/a BCP QualTek HoldCo, LLC) (“QualTek”) (the “QualTek Units”) previously held by the Blocker in QualTek. Immediately following the Buyer Merger, Company Merger Sub merged with and into QualTek, with QualTek as the surviving company (the “QualTek Merger”), resulting in (i) QualTek becoming a subsidiary of the Company, (ii) the QualTek Units (excluding those held by the Blocker and the Company) being converted into the right to receive 18,764,898 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”), under the Business Combination Agreement and the holders of QualTek Units being entitled to such shares of Class B Common Stock at the Closing, (iii) the QualTek Units held by the Company being converted into the right to receive a number of common units of QualTek (the “Common Units”) equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding (i.e., 21,571,283 QualTek Units), less the number of Common Units received in connection with the Company’s capital contribution (i.e., 16,160,418 QualTek Units).

     

    9

     

     

    The Business Combination was accomplished through an UpC structure, and the mix of consideration received reflects the implementation of such structure. Certain of the Reporting Persons are also entitled to receive additional future consideration with respect to the Business Combination in the form of amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement as described in Item 6 below.

     

    The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Business Combination Agreement and the Waiver and Consent Agreement thereto, included with this Statement as Exhibits 1 and 2 and are incorporated herein by reference.

     

    Item 4.PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

     

    The Reporting Persons acquired the Common Stock for investment purposes. Depending on the factors discussed herein, the Reporting Persons may, from time to time, investigate, evaluate, discuss, negotiate or agree to acquire additional shares of Common Stock in the open market, in connection with issuances by the Company or sales by other stockholders in transactions registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise and/or investigate, evaluate, discuss, negotiate or agree to retain and/or sell or otherwise dispose of all or a portion of shares of Common Stock in the open market, through transactions registered under the Securities Act, through privately negotiated transactions to the Company or third parties or through distributions to their respective partners, or otherwise. Any actions the Reporting Persons might undertake will be dependent upon the Reporting Persons’ review of numerous factors, including, among other things, the price levels of the Common Stock; general market and economic conditions; ongoing evaluation of the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results and prospects; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; and other future developments.

Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of March 2, 2021, between the Other Holders and the Company was terminated and the Company agreed to grant to the Other Holders, which includes certain equityholders of QualTek as well as the Sponsors, certain registration rights, including customary piggyback registration rights and demand registration rights immediately after the Closing, which are subject to customary terms and conditions, including with respect to cooperation and reduction of underwritten shelf takedown provisions. Additionally, the Investor Rights Agreement sets forth certain corporate governance standards relating to the Company.

     

    Tax Receivable Agreement

     

    On February 14, 2022, in connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), the Company entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) with the TRA Holder Representative (as defined in the Tax Receivable Agreement) and the TRA Holders (as defined in the Tax Receivable Agreement).

     

    Pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement, the Company will generally be required to pay the TRA Holders 85% of the amount of savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state, local, and foreign taxes that are based on, or measured with respect to, net income or profits, and any interest related thereto that the Company (and applicable consolidated, unitary, or combined Subsidiaries thereof, if any) realizes, or is deemed to realize, as a result of certain tax attributes.

     

    Under the Tax Receivable Agreement, the Tax Group (as defined in the Tax Receivable Agreement) will generally be treated as realizing a tax benefit from the use of a Tax Attribute on a “with and without” basis, thereby generally treating the Tax Attributes as the last item used, subject to several exceptions. Payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement generally will be based on the tax reporting positions that the Company determines (with the amount of subject payments determined in consultation with an advisory firm and subject to the TRA Holder Representative’s review and consent), and the IRS or another taxing authority may challenge all or any part of position taken with respect to Tax Attributes or the utilization thereof, and a court may sustain such a challenge. In the event that any tax benefits initially claimed by the Tax Group are disallowed, the TRA Holders will not be required to reimburse the Company for any excess payments that may previously have been made pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement, for example, due to adjustments resulting from examinations by taxing authorities. Rather, any excess payments made to such TRA Holders will be applied against and reduce any future cash payments otherwise required to be made by the Company under the Tax Receivable Agreement, if any, after the determination of such excess. As a result, in certain circumstances the Company could be required to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement in excess of the Tax Group’s actual savings in respect of the Tax Attributes.

     

    The Tax Receivable Agreement provides that, in the event (such events collectively, “Early Termination Events”) that (i) the Company exercises its early termination rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement, (ii) certain changes of control of the Company occur (as described in the Third Amended and Restated LLCA), (iii) the Company in certain circumstances, fails to make a payment required to be made pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement by its final payment date, which non-payment continues for 60 days following such final payment date or (iv) the Company materially breaches (or is deemed to materially breach) any of its material obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement other than as described in the foregoing clause (iii) and, in the case of clauses (iii) and (iv), unless certain liquidity related or restrictive covenant related exceptions apply, the Company’s obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement will accelerate (if the TRA Holder Representative so elects in the case of clauses (ii)-(iv)) and the Company will be required to make a lump-sum cash payment to all the TRA Holders equal to the present value of all forecasted future payments that would have otherwise been made under the Tax Receivable Agreement, which lump-sum payment would be based on certain assumptions, including those relating to there being sufficient future taxable income of the Tax Group to fully utilize the Tax Attributes over certain specified time periods and that all Common Units (including Common Units held by the Blocker) that had not yet been exchanged for Common Stock or cash are deemed exchanged for cash. The lump-sum payment could be material and could materially exceed any actual tax benefits that the Tax Group realizes subsequent to such payment.

     

    12

     

     

    As a result of the foregoing, in some circumstances (i) the Company could be required to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement that are greater than or less than the actual tax savings that the Tax Group realizes in respect of the Tax Attributes and (ii) it is possible that the Company may be required to make payments years in advance of the actual realization of tax benefits (if any, and may never actually realize the benefits paid for) in respect of the Tax Attributes (including if any Early Termination Events occur.

     

    Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of OpCo

     

    On February 14, 2022, in connection with the Closing, the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of QualTek was amended and restated (the “Third Amended and Restated LLCA”) to, among other things, reflect: (a) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (as such term is defined in the Business Combination Agreement), including the conversion of units pursuant to Section 3.1(c)(ii) thereof and the admission of the Company as a Member, (b) the Company’s designation as the sole Managing Member of QualTek, and (c) the rights and obligations of the Members and other terms and provisions, as set forth in Third Amended and Restated LLCA.

     

    The foregoing summaries do not purport to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Investor Rights Agreement, Tax Receivable Agreement and Third Amended and Restated LLCA included with this Statement as Exhibits 3 through 6, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
