Introductory Note

This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed in connection with the completion on October 13, 2023 (the “Closing Date”) of the transactions contemplated by that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 25, 2023 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among Skyline Champion Corporation, an Indiana corporation (“Skyline Champion”), Champion Home Builders, Inc., a Delaware corporation and subsidiary of Skyline Champion (“CHB”), Champion Retail Housing, Inc., a Delaware corporation and subsidiary of Skyline Champion (“CRH” and together with CHB, “Buyers”), Regional Holdings Corporation, a Mississippi corporation (“Regional”), Regional Underwriters, Inc., a Saint Kitts and Nevis corporation (“Regional Underwriters”), Heath Jenkins, as beneficial owner of the outstanding equity interests of Regional (collectively, with Regional and the Regional Underwriters, the “Sellers”), Dana Jenkins, as beneficial owner of the outstanding equity interests of Helicon Insurance, LLC, and party thereto solely with respect to the sale of Helicon Insurance, LLC (“Dana Jenkins”), and Heath Jenkins, solely in his capacity as the representative of the Sellers (the “Sellers’ Representative”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, on the Closing Date, Buyers acquired all of the outstanding equity interests in Regional Enterprises, LLC and related companies (collectively, “Regional Homes,” each being a “Regional Home Company”) from the Sellers and Dana Jenkins (collectively, the “Transaction”).

On the Closing Date, Skyline, through Buyers, paid to Sellers approximately $313,000,000, net of cash acquired, plus assumed debt, primarily related to inventory floor plan liabilities, of $93,000,000. In addition, the Company issued 379,248 shares of common stock in Skyline Champion, par value $0.0277 per share (the “Skyline Common Stock”), equal to $25,000,000 in cash, to Sellers. The transaction is subject to an earnout provision as well as customary net working capital adjustments. The Company also issued 75,850 shares of Skyline Common Stock, equal to $5,000,000 in cash, to Dana Jenkins (the “D. Jenkins Stock Consideration”) for Helicon Insurance, LLC. For each of Sellers and Dana Jenkins, the number of shares of Skyline Common Stock was calculated by dividing the cash equivalent of the Stock Consideration and the D. Jenkins Stock Consideration by the volume weighted average price per share of Skyline Champion Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the thirty consecutive trading days immediately preceding the Closing Date. The Skyline Champion Common Stock was issued to the Sellers and Dana Jenkins in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act (the “Private Placement”).

In addition, certain sales proceeds were deposited with U.S. Bank, N.A. (the “Escrow Agent”) on the Closing Date for the purposes of satisfying any additional post-closing purchase price adjustments owed by the Sellers to Buyers and as security for the Sellers’ indemnification obligations to Buyers and will be released in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. As previously disclosed, the Sellers are entitled to all shareholder rights with respect to the Stock Consideration, including, but not limited to, dividends and voting rights, while the Stock Consideration is held in escrow.

 

Skyline Champion funded the Transaction with cash on hand and 455,098 shares of Skyline Common Stock, as stated above.

 

Assumed Indebtedness:

 

On the Closing Date, approximately $93,000,000 of the purchase price was paid by Buyers in the form of assumed indebtedness, pursuant to which Buyers and Skyline Champion agreed to act as guarantors for certain of Regional Homes’ payment obligations under certain promissory notes issued by Regional Homes in favor of the lenders named therein.

Release Agreement


On the Closing Date, the Sellers and Dana Jenkins entered into that certain Release Agreement, dated as of October 13, 2023 (the “Release Agreement”), pursuant to which the Sellers and Dana Jenkins released any and all claims arising prior to the Closing against Skyline Champion, Buyers and Regional Homes, including, but not limited to, claims arising out of or relating to the Purchase Agreement.

Restricted Stock Agreement

On the Closing Date, Skyline Champion, Sellers and Dana Jenkins entered into that certain Restricted Stock Agreement, dated as of October 13, 2023 (the “Restricted Stock Agreement”), pursuant to which the parties agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth therein in connection with any transfer of the Skyline Common Stock issued to them in the Private Placement (collectively with any new, substituted or additional securities that may be received in replacement of the Skyline Common Stock, the “Shares”). The Restricted Stock Agreement contains customary representations and warranties from each of the parties, including, among others, that Sellers and Dana Jenkins (together, the “Recipients”) are “accredited investors” within the meaning of Regulation D adopted under the Securities Act.

The Shares are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Regulation D and Rule 144 under the Securities Act and will be subject to certain restrictions, including, but not limited to, (i) a six-month holding period after issuance of the Shares, (ii) limitations on the number of Shares that can be sold in any three-month period by an affiliate of Skyline Champion, (iii) limitations on the encumbrances or liens that may be placed on the Shares within six months following the issuance of the Shares, (iv) compliance with any stock ownership or holding guidelines that may be adopted by Skyline Champion and may be in effect with respect to directors, officers or employees of Skyline Champion, and (v) in the case of Heath Jenkins, compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in Skyline Champion’s Insider Trading Policy. In addition, the Restricted Stock Agreement provides for certain vesting periods, subject to certain exceptions, such that (a) no Recipient may transfer any Shares until the first anniversary of the Closing, (b) from the first anniversary of the Closing to the second anniversary, a Recipient may transfer one-third of the Shares that such Recipient owned beneficially on the first anniversary, (c) from the second anniversary of the Closing to the third anniversary, a Recipient may transfer all but one-third of the Shares that such Recipient owned beneficially on the first anniversary, and (d) from and after the third anniversary, a Recipient may transfer any and all other Shares.

The Restricted Stock Agreement will not obligate Skyline Champion to register the Shares under the Securities Act. That said, Skyline Champion has agreed in the Restricted Stock Agreement to make all information publicly available as required by Rule 144 of the Securities Act and other applicable regulations such that the Recipients may resell the Shares to the public without registration.
