Legacy Acquisition Corp. Announces Stockholder Approval of Extension to Consummate a Business Combination

New York, NY, May 19, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Legacy Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: “LGC”) (“Legacy”), a publicly-traded Special Purpose Acquisition Company, announced today that, at Legacy’s special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) held virtually at 4:30 pm Eastern Time on May 18, 2020, its stockholders approved an amendment to Legacy’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended by that amendment to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation, dated October 22, 2019 (the “Charter Amendment”) to extend the date by which Legacy has to consummate a business combination (the “Extension”) from May 20, 2020 to November 20, 2020. At the Special Meeting, Legacy’s stockholders also approved an amendment to Legacy’s investment management trust agreement, dated as of November 16, 2017, as amended by that amendment no. 1 to investment management trust agreement, dated October 22, 2019, between Legacy and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trust Amendment”), to extend the date on which commence liquidating the trust account established in connection with Legacy’s initial public offering in the event Legacy has not consummated a business combination from May 20, 2020 to November 20, 2020.

In connection with the Extension, Legacy estimates that stockholders elected to redeem approximately 23,180,000 shares of Legacy’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “public shares”), issued in Legacy’s initial public offering. As a result, Legacy estimates that an aggregate of approximately $242,462,800.00 (or approximately $10.46 per share) will be removed from Legacy’s trust account to pay such stockholders. Following such redemptions, approximately 6,120,000 public shares will remain issued and outstanding.

As was previously indicated in a press release dated May 8, 2020 and a related proxy statement supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 8, 2020, because the Extension Amendment was approved, Legacy will make a cash contribution (“Contribution”) to the trust account in an amount equal to $0.02 for each public share that was not redeemed in connection with the stockholder approval of the Extension Amendment for each month of the Extension (or approximately $122,400.00 per month after giving effect to redemptions). The Contribution will not accrue interest and the aggregate amount of the Contribution will be calculated and paid in full at the closing from the proceeds of the business combination.
