Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously reported, on May 27, 2022, Mobile Infrastructure Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and between the Company and Mobile Infrastructure Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (“MIT”), under which, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, the Company will merge with and into MIT, with MIT continuing as the surviving entity resulting from the merger. The merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are referred to herein collectively as the “Merger.”

 

On September 26, 2022, the Company and MIT entered into an amended and restated merger agreement (the “Amended and Restated Merger Agreement”), which, among other things, amends the consideration payable to the holders of the Company’s Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “MIC Series A Preferred Stock”), and Series 1 Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “MIC Series 1 Preferred Stock”, and together with the MIC Series A Preferred Stock, the “MIC Preferred Stock”). Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”): (a) each share of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding at the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive one Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Share, par value $0.0001 per share, of MIT (the “MIT Series A Preferred Shares”) having terms materially the same as the MIC Series A Preferred Stock plus an amount in cash equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends on such shares of MIC Series A Preferred Stock through and including the most recently completed quarter prior to the Effective Time (which cash payment if paid will, for the avoidance of doubt, extinguish all accrued and unpaid dividends payable on the MIC Series A Preferred Stock through and including the most recently completed quarter prior to the Effective Time); and (b) each share of MIC Series 1 Preferred Stock issued and outstanding at the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive one Series 1 Convertible Redeemable Preferred Share, par value $0.0001 per share, of MIT (the “MIT Series 1 Preferred Shares” and together, with the MIT Series A Preferred Shares, the “MIT Preferred Shares”) having terms materially the same as the MIC Series 1 Preferred Stock plus an amount in cash equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends on such shares of MIC Series 1 Preferred Stock through and including the most recently completed quarter prior to the Effective Time (which cash payment if paid will, for the avoidance of doubt, extinguish all accrued and unpaid dividends payable on the MIC Series 1 Preferred Stock through and including the most recently completed quarter prior to the Effective Time), in each case, subject to the receipt of cash in lieu of fractional shares.

  

The Amended and Restated Merger Agreement also extends the termination date of the Merger Agreement from March 31, 2023 to June 30, 2023 if the Merger is not completed by such date or unless earlier terminated.

 

The Amended and Restated Merger Agreement, and the terms thereof, were evaluated, negotiated, approved and adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors, including the disinterested directors, and MIT’s board of trustees.

 

The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Certain of the representations and warranties contained in the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement were made as of a specified date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what might be viewed as material to the Company’s stockholders or may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties to the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement. Accordingly, the representations and warranties contained in the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement are not necessarily characterizations of the actual state of facts with respect to the Company or its subsidiaries or MIT at the time they were made or otherwise, and investors should not rely on them as statements of fact. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.

 

Information Regarding Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions

 

The Company has relationships and historical and continuing transactions with MIT and others related to it in addition to those noted above.

This Current Report on Form 8-K does not contain all the information that should be considered concerning the Merger and is not intended to form the basis of any investment decision or any other decision in respect of the Merger. This communication does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or a solicitation of any vote or approval.

 

INVESTORS ARE URGED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS (INCLUDING ALL AMENDMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTS THERETO) IF AND WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE AND ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS TO BE FILED WITH THE SEC IN CONNECTION WITH THE MERGER OR THE TRANSACTIONS IN THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE MERGER.

 

After the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, a definitive proxy statement/prospectus will be mailed to the Company’s stockholders.

The Company, MIT and their respective directors or trustees, executive officers and employees may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies from the Company’s stockholders in respect of the approval of the Merger.

Warning Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other securities laws. Also, whenever the Company uses words such as “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “plan”, “estimate”, “will”, “may” and negatives or derivatives of these or similar expressions, the Company is making forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon the Company’s present intent, beliefs or expectations, but forward-looking statements are not guaranteed to occur and may not occur. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by the Company’s forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond the Company’s control. For example:

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K states that the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement with MIT. The closing of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of conditions, including the receipt of requisite approvals by the Company’s common stockholders and MIT’s sole shareholder of the Merger. The Company cannot be sure that these conditions will be satisfied or waived. As a result, the Merger may be delayed or it may not be completed on the contemplated terms, or at all.

 

  This Current Report on Form 8-K states that the Merger and the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement, and the terms thereof, were evaluated, negotiated, approved and adopted by the Company’s board of directors, including the disinterested directors, and MIT’s board of trustees. Despite this process, the Company could be subject to claims challenging the Merger or the Company’s entry into the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement and related agreements because of the multiple relationships among the Company, MIT and their related persons and entities or other reasons, and defending even meritless claims could be expensive and distracting to management.

  

The information contained in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including under the captions “Risk Factors” in the Quarterly Reports and Annual Report, identifies other important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those stated in or implied by the Company’s forward-looking statements. The Company’s filings with the SEC are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

 

You should not place undue reliance upon forward-looking statements.

 

Except as required by law, the Company does not intend to update or change any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
