SCHEDULE 13D
This Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2022 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”) relating to common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of Terran Orbital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Item of the Schedule 13D remains unchanged.
Item 2. Identity and Background
Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by incorporating herein by reference the information set forth on the updated Schedule I attached hereto.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item 3 of Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented and amended to add the information contained under the caption “Merger Agreement” in Item 4 of this Amendment, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 3. The source of funds for this merger consideration is expected to be cash on hand available to Lockheed Martin Corporation (“LMC”).
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following:
On August 14, 2024, LMC management approved a plan to acquire the Issuer in a merger transaction.
Merger Agreement
On August 15, 2024, LMC entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with the Issuer and Tholian Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of LMC. The Merger Agreement provides that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”), with the Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) of the Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of LMC.
Equity and Warrant Treatment in the Merger
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of the Issuer’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (subject to certain customary exceptions specified in the Merger Agreement) will be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive $0.25 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”).
6
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, the Issuer’s outstanding, unexercised and vested options to purchase Common Stock (the “Options”) will be canceled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest and subject to applicable taxes, equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of C
ommon Stock subject to such Option, and (b) the amount by which the Merger Consideration exceeds the exercise price of such Option. Any Option with an exercise price that is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration will be cancelled without the payment of consideration. Any Option that is unvested at the Effective Time will be cancelled for no consideration.
At the Effective Time, the Issuer’s restricted stock units will automatically (a) become fully vested and (b) convert into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as set forth in the Merger Agreement.
At the Effective Time, each outstanding SPAC Warrant (as defined in the Merger Agreement) will, in accordance with its terms, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to represent a SPAC Warrant exercisable for Common Stock and will become a right to purchase and receive the Merger Consideration (a “Merger Warrant”). If a holder of a Merger Warrant properly exercises the Merger Warrant within thirty (30) days following the public disclosure of the consummation of the Merger pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Warrant Price (as defined in the Merger Agreement) with respect to such exercise will be reduced by an amount (in dollars and in no event less than zero) equal to the difference of (a) the Warrant Price in effect prior to such reduction minus (b) (i) the Merger Consideration minus (ii) the Black-Scholes Warrant Value (as defined in the Merger Agreement).
At the Effective Time, each outstanding Company Warrant (as defined in the Merger Agreement) will, in accordance with its terms, automatically and without any required action on the part of LMC, Merger Sub, the Issuer or the holder thereof, cease to represent a Company Warrant exercisable for Common Stock and shall become a Company Warrant exercisable for the Merger Consideration. To the extent a holder of a Company Warrant does not exercise such Company Warrant prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall assume the obligations of any then-outstanding Company Warrant in accordance with the terms of the applicable warrant agreement or warrant issued thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a holder of a Company Warrant properly exercises the Company Warrant within thirty (30) days following the public disclosure of the consummation of the Merger pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC, such exercise shall be treated in accordance with the terms of the applicable warrant agreement or warrant issued thereunder.
Closing Conditions
The consummation of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including (a) the approval of the Merger Agreement and the Merger by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of all outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock (the “Stockholder Approval”), (b) receipt of applicable regulatory approvals, (c) the absence of (i) any pending investigation or legal proceeding by the United States Department of Justice, Antitrust Division or the Federal Trade Commission (each a “United States Federal Antitrust Authority”) that could, among other things, result in the consummation of the Transactions being restrained or prohibited, (ii) any written communication from a United States Federal Antitrust
7
Authority threatening a legal proceeding as described in clause (i), or (iii) any oral communication by a United States Federal Antitrust Authority to LMC and the Issuer threatening a legal proceeding as described in clause (i), and (d) the absence of any law or order that enjoins or otherwise prohibits or makes illegal the consummation of the Merger (clauses (b), (c) and (d), the “Government Matters Conditions”). The obligation of each of the Issuer and LMC to consummate the Merger is also conditioned on, among other things, the truth and correctness of the representations and warranties made by the other party as of the closing date (subject to certain “materiality” and “material adverse effect” qualifiers) and material compliance by the other party with pre-closing covenants.
LMC’s and Merger Sub’s obligation to consummate the Merger is also subject to there being no Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) since the date of the Merger Agreement and the Issuer receiving certain regulatory approvals related to telecommunications licenses including U.S. Federal Communications Commission licenses (the “Telecommunications Approval Condition”).
Other Terms
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants made by each of the Issuer, LMC and Merger Sub, including, among others, the obligation of the Issuer to conduct its business in the ordinary course, consistent with past practice and to refrain from taking certain specified actions without the consent of LMC. In addition, the Merger Agreement contains covenants that require the Issuer to call and hold a meeting of the stockholders and use reasonable best efforts to solicit the Stockholder Approval, except to the extent that the Merger Agreement has been earlier terminated in accordance with its terms.
“Go-Shop”; “No-Shop” Restrictions
During the period beginning on the date of the Merger Agreement and continuing until 11:59 P.M. (New York City time) on September 13, 2024 (the “No-Shop Period Start Date”), the Issuer and its representatives have the right to (i) solicit, initiate, facilitate and encourage any inquiry or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a competing acquisition proposal, (ii) furnish to any person that is party to an acceptable confidentiality agreement any information which is reasonably requested by any person in connection with such person’s potentially making a competing acquisition proposal and (iii) participate or engage in discussions or negotiations with such person regarding a competing acquisition proposal.
On the No-Shop Period Start Date, the Issuer will cease such activities, and will be subject to further restrictions, including that it will not (i) solicit proposals or offers that constitute, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a competing acquisition proposal, (ii) engage in any discussions or negotiations regarding a competing acquisition proposal or (iii) enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement or similar agreement constituting an acquisition proposal, other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement (as defined in the Merger Agreement). However, prior to obtaining stockholder approval, the Issuer may engage in the foregoing activities with any third party that has provided the Issuer with a competing acquisition proposal after the execution of the Merger Agreement and prior to the No-Shop Period Start Date, which acquisition proposal
8
the Issuer’s board of directors (the “Board”) determines in good faith is or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement). Furthermore, the Issuer can also engage in such activities with any third party that provides to the Issuer an unsolicited bona fide written competing acquisition proposal, if, subject to compliance with certain other conditions, the Board determines in good faith that such acquisition proposal constitutes, or is reasonably likely to result in, a Superior Proposal.
Prior to the approval of the Merger Agreement by the Issuer’s stockholders, the Board may change its recommendation that the Issuer’s stockholders approve the Merger Agreement if the Board receives a Superior Proposal or upon the occurrence of certain types of intervening events, but only if certain conditions are satisfied with respect thereto and the Issuer complies with its obligations in respect thereof under the Merger Agreement.
LMC Voting
At the Stockholder Meeting, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, unless otherwise directed by the Issuer, LMC and its affiliates are required to cause all of securities of the Issuer with respect to which the LMC and its Affiliates have voting rights to be voted, in favor of: (x) the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the Merger; (y) any proposal to adjourn or postpone the Stockholder Meeting to a later date if there are not sufficient votes for approval; (z) and each of the other actions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
Termination Rights
LMC may terminate the Merger Agreement in certain additional limited circumstances, including if there is a willful or intentional material breach by the Issuer of its no-shop restrictions, upon the occurrence of certain bankruptcy events or upon an event of default under a bridge financing that was provided in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement.
The Issuer may terminate the Merger Agreement in certain additional limited circumstances, including, prior to the Stockholder Approval, in order to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal prior to or substantially concurrently with such termination.
Termination Fees
Upon termination under certain specified circumstances, including upon termination (a) by the Issuer in order for it to enter into a definitive agreement to accept a Superior Proposal, or (b) by LMC due to a willful or intentional material breach by the Issuer of its no-shop restrictions and, within twelve (12) months after the date of such termination, the Issuer enters into a definitive agreement with respect to any Acquisition Transaction (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and the Acquisition Transaction is consummated, the Issuer must pay LMC a termination fee of $1.68 million, provided that the termination fee will be $840,000 if the Issuer terminates the Merger Agreement prior to the No-Shop Period Start Date. The Merger Agreement also provides that LMC will be required to pay the Issuer a termination fee of $1.68 million under certain circumstances if the Merger Agreement is terminated (a) by LMC or the Issuer after the End Date and the unsatisfied conditions to closing are the Government Matters Conditions, or (b) LMC elects to terminate the Merger Agreement due to litigation filed by a governmental entity
9
that, if successful, would enjoin or otherwise prohibit or make illegal the consummation of the Transactions.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.8 to this Schedule 13D and incorporated by reference herein.
Voting and Support Agreements
In connection with their entry into the Merger Agreement, LMC and the Issuer entered into Voting and Support Agreements, dated as of August
15, 2024, with certain stockholders of the Issuer, pursuant to which the stockholders agreed, among other things, during the term of the Voting and Support Agreement, (i) not to (a) transfer any securities of the Issuer owned by them (“Subject Securities”), except as permitted under the terms and conditions of the Voting and Support Agreement, or (b) deposit the Subject Securities into a voting trust or grant a proxy or enter into a voting or similar agreement with respect to the Subject Securities, and (ii) at any meeting of stockholders of the Issuer, to (a) appear in person or otherwise cause the Subject Securities entitled to vote thereat to be counted for purposes of calculating a quorum and (b) cause the Subject Securities entitled to vote to be voted (1) in favor of adopting the Merger Agreement and the Merger, any proposal to adjourn or postpone any meeting at which matters are submitted for a vote if there are not sufficient votes for approval on the date on which the meeting is held, and each other action contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and (2) against extraordinary transactions other than the Merger and other matters that may adversely impact the Merger. The Voting and Support Agreements cover a total of 30,797,166 shares held of record.
The foregoing description of the Voting and Support Agreements is qualified by reference to the forms of Voting and Support Agreement filed as Exhibit 99.9 and 99.10 to this Schedule 13D, which are incorporated by reference herein.
