Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Merger Agreement
On December 18, 2022, Unique Logistics International, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among Edify Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Edify”), Edify Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Edify (“Merger Sub”), and the Company.
The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Transactions”) were approved by the board of directors of each of the Company, Edify, and Merger Sub.
The proposed Merger (as defined below) is expected to be consummated after receipt of the required approvals from the stockholders of Edify and the Company and the satisfaction of certain other conditions summarized below.
The Merger Agreement and the Merger
The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, that Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) in the merger and, after giving effect to such merger, the Company shall be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Edify (the “Merger”). In addition, Edify will be renamed “Unique Logistics International, Inc.” Other capitalized terms used, but not defined, herein have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Merger Agreement.
As a result of the Transactions, among other things, (i) each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive (A) such number of shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Edify (“Edify Class A Common Stock”) that is equal to the Common Exchange Ratio, as described below, and (B) its allocable portion of the Earnout Shares, if any, as further discussed below, and (ii) each outstanding share of convertible preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Company Preferred Stock”) will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive (A) the product of (1) the number of shares of Company Common Stock into which such share of Company Preferred Stock is convertible as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, taking into account the effects of the Transactions in accordance with the certificate of designations applicable to such Company Preferred Stock (the “Effective Time”) and (2) the Common Exchange Ratio and (B) its allocable portion of the Earnout Shares, if any.
The Common Exchange Ratio is the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Per Share Consideration Value by (ii) $10.00 (as such figure may be adjusted in accordance with the provisions of the Merger Agreement). The Per Share Consideration Value is the amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) $282,000,000 by (ii) the sum of (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding plus (b) the number of shares of Company Common Stock into which all of the shares of Company Preferred Stock would convert, in each case as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, taking into account the effects of the Transactions in accordance with the certificate of designations applicable to such Company Preferred Stock.
At the effective time of the Merger:
● | each share of Company Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (other than excluded shares and dissenting shares) will be cancelled and automatically deemed for all purposes to represent the right to receive a number of shares of Buyer Class A Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock into which such share of Company Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible, taking into account the effects of the Transactions in accordance with the certificate of designation applicable to such Company Preferred Stock, and (ii) the Common Exchange Ratio; |
1
● | each share of Company Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) will be cancelled and automatically deemed for all purposes to represent the right to receive a number of shares of Buyer Class A Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock into which such share of Company Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible, taking into account the effects of the Transactions in accordance with the certificate of designation applicable to such Company Preferred Stock, and (ii) the Common Exchange Ratio; |
● | each share of Company Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (other than excluded shares and dissenting shares) will be cancelled and automatically deemed for all purposes to represent the right to receive a number of shares of Buyer Class A Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock into which such share of Company Series C Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible, taking into account the effects of the Transactions in accordance with the certificate of designation applicable to such Company Preferred Stock, and (ii) the Common Exchange Ratio; and |
● | each share of Company Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (other than excluded shares and dissenting shares) will be cancelled and automatically deemed for all purposes to represent the right to receive a number of shares of Buyer Class A Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock into which such share of Company Series D Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible, taking into account the effects of the Transactions in accordance with the certificate of designation applicable to such Company Preferred Stock, and (ii) the Common Exchange Ratio. |
The Merger Agreement also provides that at Closing the Company, Edify, Edify’s sponsor Colbeck Edify Holdings, LLC (the “Sponsor”), and certain other stockholders of the Company will enter into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit F to the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, Edify will agree to provide the Sponsor and such other stockholders with certain rights relating to the registration for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of their shares of Edify Class A Common Stock, the warrants to purchase shares of Edify Class A Common Stock that Edify issued to the Sponsor in connection with its initial public offering, and any other equity securities held by the Sponsor or any such stockholders, to the extent that such securities are “restricted securities” (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act), including the shares of Edify Class A Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the warrants or any other equity security. This description of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Registration Rights Agreement, the form of which is attached as Exhibit F to the Merger Agreement.
Earnout
The Merger Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, provides that the Company’s stockholders will have the right to receive up to an aggregate of 2,500,000 additional shares of Edify Class A Common Stock based primarily on the closing price per share of the Edify Class A Common Stock on the principal securities exchange or securities market on which shares of Edify Class A Common Stock are then traded during the seven-year period following the date that is sixty days after the date of the closing (the “Closing Share Price”), as follows: (i) 1,250,000 shares if (A) the Closing Share Price is equal to or exceeds $12.00 for any 20 Trading Days within any period of 30 consecutive Trading Days or (2) Edify or the Surviving Corporation or any of its subsidiaries consummates a merger, consolidation, tender offer, exchange offer or business combination, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets (each, a “Sale Transaction”) in which the fair value of the consideration payable in respect of each outstanding share of Edify Class A Common Stock in such Sale Transaction equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (on a fully diluted basis); and (ii) an additional 1,250,000 shares if (A) the Closing Share Price is equal to or exceeds $15.00 for any 20 Trading Days within any period of 30 consecutive Trading Days, or (B) Edify or the Surviving Corporation or any of its subsidiaries consummates a Sale Transaction in which the fair value of the consideration payable in respect of each outstanding share of Edify Class A Common Stock in such Sale Transaction equals or exceeds $15.00 per share (on a fully diluted basis).
Representations and Warranties; Covenants
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties, which will not survive the Closing. Many of the representations and warranties are qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect (with respect to the Company) or a material adverse effect on the ability of Edify or Merger Sub to enter into and perform their respective obligations under the Merger Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement to which it is a party. Certain of the representations and warranties are subject to specified exceptions and qualifications contained in the Merger Agreement or in information provided pursuant to certain disclosure schedules to the Merger Agreement.
2
The Merger Agreement also contains pre-closing covenants of the Company and Edify, including obligations of the Company to operate its businesses in the ordinary course and of each of the Company and Edify to refrain from taking certain specified actions without the prior written consent of the other, in each case, subject to certain exceptions and qualifications. The covenants do not survive the Closing (other than those that are to be performed after the Closing).

Termination
The Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances at any time prior to the Closing, including, without limitation: (i) by the mutual written consent of the Company and Edify; (ii) by either Edify or the Company if any governmental authority shall have issued an order or taken any other action permanently enjoining, restraining, or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Transactions and such order or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; (iii) by Edify or the Company if the Closing does not occur on or prior to July 20, 2023 or, if an Additional Extension Period has been approved, at the expiration of such period (the “Termination Date”), unless extended as provided in the Merger Agreement, provided that the terminating party’s failure to fulfill any obligation under the Merger Agreement has not been the primary cause of, or primarily resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date; (iv) by Edify, if the Company has breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements in the Merger Agreement such that the corresponding closing condition would not be satisfied and such breach cannot be cured through the exercise of the Company’s reasonable best efforts at all or within the earlier of (A) 20 days after written notice thereof and (B) the Termination Date, unless Edify’s failure to fulfill any obligation under the Merger Agreement has been the primary cause of, or primarily resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Termination Date; (v) by the Company if Edify has breached any of its representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements in the Merger Agreement such that the corresponding closing condition would not be satisfied and such breach cannot be cured through the exercise of Edify’s reasonable best efforts at all or within the earlier of (A) 20 days after written notice thereof and (B) the Termination Date, unless the Company’s failure to fulfill any obligation under the Merger Agreement has been the primary cause of, or primarily resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Termination Date; (vi) by either the Company or Edify, subject to certain exceptions, if Edify does not receive the required approvals of Edify’s stockholders; and (vii) by Edify if the Company fails to deliver to Edify within 10 business days of the date that the Company’s consent solicitation statement in connection therewith was required to be disseminated to the Company’s stockholders executed copies of the written consent of the Company’s stockholders evidencing the required approvals of the Company’s stockholders in connection with the Merger Agreement and the Transactions.
4
In addition to these standard termination provisions, the Merger Agreement also provides that the Company can terminate the Merger Agreement if the Debt Facility, or alternative debt financing, has not been provided to the Company by February 5, 2023, or has not been provided to the Company on terms and conditions as are the same as or are more favorable to the Company than the commercial terms and conditions contained in the Term Sheet.
None of the parties to the Merger Agreement are required to pay a termination fee or reimburse any other party for its expenses as a result of a termination of the Merger Agreement. However, each party will remain liable for fraud or any intentional and willful breaches of the Merger Agreement prior to termination.
Costs and Expenses
The Merger Agreement provides that the Company will pay all fees, costs, and expenses incurred in connection with any competition, antitrust, or other regulatory filings, or the receipt of any approvals required in connection with the Transactions, up to a maximum amount of $13,000,000 (the “Cap”). Subject to the Cap and except as otherwise provided in the Merger Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements, each party will bear its own expenses incurred in connection with the Merger Agreement and the Transactions whether or not such Transactions are consummated; provided, that, if the Closing occurs, Buyer shall pay out of the proceeds of the Trust Account, or cause the Company to pay, at or promptly after Closing, all Buyer Transaction Expenses and all Company Transaction Expenses due on or prior to the Closing Date up to the Cap.
The Merger Agreement also provides that the Company will be obligated to pay 50% of the fees and expenses incurred by Edify relating to obtaining any extension of the date by which Edify must consummate a business combination.
A copy of the Merger Agreement is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and the foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.
The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties, and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Merger Agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties, and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating such agreement. The representations, warranties, and covenants in the Merger Agreement are also modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules that are not filed publicly and that are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to stockholders, and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. The Company does not believe that these schedules contain information that is material to an investment decision. Moreover, certain representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties rather than establishing matters of fact. Accordingly, you should not rely on the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement as characterizations of the actual statements of fact about the parties.
