Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
The information set forth or incorporated by reference in Items 3, 5 and 6 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference into this Item 4.
The Reporting Persons acquired the securities of the Issuer covered by this Schedule 13D for investment purposes as part of their ordinary business and investing activities. Subject to certain exceptions, limitations and applicable law, pursuant to the Shareholder's Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, by and between the Issuer and CPPIB Monroe (the "Shareholder's Agreement"), CPPIB Monroe is entitled to (i) nominate two individuals to the Issuer Board so long as the Reporting Persons (and any affiliates) continue to own at least 10% of the total outstanding shares of the Issuer and (ii) nominate one individual to the Issuer Board so long as the Reporting Persons (and any affiliates) continue to own at least 5% but no more than 10% of the total outstanding shares of the Issuer.
In addition, the Shareholder's Agreement imposes on CPPIB Monroe (a) certain customary lockup obligations, with certain exceptions, for a period of one year following the Closing Date, (b) a prohibition on transfers to the Issuer's competitors and activist investors, (c) certain non-solicitation and non-compete obligations, with certain exceptions, until the later of (i) three years following the Closing Date and (ii) six months following the date CPPIB Monroe no longer has a director serving on the Issuer Board, (d) a customary "standstill" for CPPIB Monroe not to acquire any additional Registered Shares in excess of 19.9% of the total outstanding shares of the Issuer until CPPIB Monroe ceases to beneficially own at least 7% of the total outstanding shares of the Issuer and (e) certain voting commitments in support of recommendations of the Issuer Board.
At the 2024 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of the Issuer held on May 15, 2024, shareholders of the Issuer elected Adrian Isman and Anne Jensen, both of whom were nominated by CPPIB Monroe, to serve as directors on the Issuer Board for a term extending from the Closing Date until completion of the 2025 annual general meeting, subject to and contingent upon the closing. Both Isman and Jensen were appointed to the Issuer Board on the Closing Date, and these individuals may have influence over the corporate activities of the Issuer, including activities which may relate to items described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Certain plans or proposals may from time to time be discussed or considered by the directors of the Issuer, in their fiduciary capacity as directors of the Issuer.
Accordingly, the Reporting Persons may participate in and influence the affairs of the Issuer through its rights under the Shareholder's Agreement.
In addition, each Reporting Person intends to monitor and evaluate its investment on an ongoing basis and expect regularly to review and consider alternative ways of maximizing its return on such investment. Subject to market conditions, valuations, regulatory approvals and any other applicable approvals, each Reporting Person may acquire additional securities of the Issuer or dispose of any securities of the Issuer in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise.
In exploring ways to maximize the return on its investment, and as part of its ongoing investment activities, the Reporting Persons will continually evaluate the Issuer's business, financial condition, results of operations, capital structure, management, synergies, stock market performance, competitive outlook and other relevant factors. As part of such evaluations, the Reporting Persons intends to seek the views of, hold discussions with, and respond to inquiries from representatives of the Issuer and other persons regarding the Issuer's affairs. Each Reporting Person may also engage in other discussions with representatives of the Issuer and/or with other holders of the Issuer's securities and, from time to time, suggest or take a position regarding, or participate in, a variety of matters relating to the Issuer, which may include, among other things, the Issuer's operations, management, corporate governance, capital structure or its control, strategic alternatives and direction. To facilitate its consideration of such matters, each Reporting Person may retain consultants and advisors and may enter into discussions with potential sources of capital and other third parties. Each Reporting Person may exchange information with any such persons, including as applicable, pursuant to appropriate confidentiality or similar agreements. Each Reporting Person will likely take some or all of the foregoing steps at preliminary stages in their consideration of various possible courses of action, before forming any intention to pursue any particular plan or direction.
Each Reporting Person may, at any time, and from time to time, (i) review or reconsider its position and/or change its purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto and (ii) consider or propose one or more of the actions described in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of the instructions to Schedule 13D.
