INTRODUCTORY NOTE
Due to the large number of events reported under the specified
items of Form 8-K, this
Current Report on Form 8-K
is being filed in two parts. An amendment to this Form 8-K is being submitted for filing on
the same date to include additional matters under Items 5.03, 5.05,
5.07, and 9.01 of Form 8-K.
As previously announced, Pivotal Investment Corporation II
(“Pivotal”), a Delaware corporation, previously entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of
September 17, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among
Pivotal, PIC II Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly
owned subsidiary of Pivotal (“Merger Sub”), and XL Hybrids, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (“Legacy XL”).
On December 21, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), as contemplated by
the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy XL,
with Legacy XL surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Pivotal
(the “Business Combination”). On the Closing Date, each outstanding
share of common stock of Legacy XL (including each share of Legacy
XL’s common stock issued as a result of the conversion of Legacy
XL’s preferred stock and any conversion or exchange of Legacy XL’s
convertible promissory notes) was converted into the right to
receive 0.75718950 shares (“Exchange Ratio”) of Pivotal’s common
stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The Exchange Ratio was
determined by dividing 100,000,000 (less 1,125,000 withheld for
Legacy XL’s convertible debt that was redeemed in cash) by the
fully-diluted number of shares of Legacy XL’s common stock
outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Business
Combination, including shares issuable or treated as issuable upon
the conversion of Legacy XL’s preferred stock and the exercise,
conversion or exchange of Legacy XL’s convertible promissory notes,
options and warrants (as determined in accordance with the Merger
Agreement and as more fully described in the Proxy Statement, as
defined below).
In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination,
each outstanding share of Pivotal’s Class B common stock, par
value $0.0001 per share (“Pivotal Class B Common Stock”), was
converted into one share of Pivotal Class A Common Stock. Each
outstanding warrant of Pivotal entitles the holder to purchase
shares of Pivotal Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50
per share beginning 30 days after the Closing Date.
A description of the Business Combination and the terms of the
Merger Agreement are included in the proxy statement/prospectus
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on
December 8, 2020 (the “Proxy Statement”) in the sections
entitled “Business Combination Proposal” beginning on page
76 and “The Merger Agreement” beginning on page 99 of the
Proxy Statement.
Immediately prior to the filing of the Certificate of Merger with
the Delaware Secretary of State on the Closing Date, Pivotal filed
its Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the
“A&R Certificate”) with the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware, pursuant to which, among other things, Pivotal
(i) changed its name to “XL Fleet Corp.”, (ii) increased the
number of shares of Pivotal Class A Common Stock it is
authorized to issue to 350,000,000 shares, (iii) removed the
provisions for the Pivotal Class B Common Stock (all such
shares of Pivotal Class B Common Stock converted into shares
of Pivotal Class A Common Stock in connection with the
Business Combination) so that the Pivotal Class B Common Stock
ceased to exist and the Company now has a single class of common
stock (such resulting stock, the “Common Stock”), and
(iv) removed the various provisions applicable only to special
purpose acquisition corporations. The material terms of the A&R
Certificate and the general effect upon the rights of holders of
the Company’s capital stock are set forth in the Proxy Statement in
the section entitled “The Charter Proposals” beginning on
page 123 of the Proxy Statement, which information is incorporated
herein by reference. A copy of the A&R Certificate is filed as
Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by
reference.
Additionally, in connection with the Business Combination, on
September 17, 2020, Pivotal entered into subscription
agreements (“Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (the
“PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which such PIPE Investors purchased
on the Closing Date an aggregate of 15,000,000 shares of Common
Stock in a private placement (“PIPE”) at a price of $10.00 per
share for gross proceeds to the Company of $150,000,000.
Each of the options to purchase Legacy XL’s common stock, whether
or not exercisable and whether or not vested, and each of the
warrants to purchase Legacy XL’s common stock, in each case that
was outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the
Business Combination, were assumed by Pivotal on the Closing Date
and converted into an option or warrant, as the case may be, to
purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of
shares subject to such option or warrant immediately prior to the
effective time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise
price equal to the exercise price immediately prior to the
effective time divided by the Exchange Ratio.
