On February 15, 2022, pursuant to the previously disclosed advisory services agreement dated December 12, 2019 (the “Advisory Services Agreement”) between EverArc Founders LLC (the “EverArc Founder Entity”) and Perimeter Solutions, SA (the “Company”), as successor to EverArc Holdings Limited (“EverArc”), the Company paid the EverArc Founder Entity the variable and fixed annual advisory amounts payable to the EverArc Founder Entity pursuant to the Advisory Services Agreement. The Advisory Services Agreement was assumed by the Company in connection with the consummation of the business combination among the Company, EverArc and EverArc (BVI) Merger Sub Limited on November 9, 2021 (the “Business Combination”). The EverArc Founder Entity provides services to the Company, including strategic and capital allocation advice, and is owned and operated by William N. Thorndike, Jr., W. Nicholas Howley, Tracy Britt Cool, Vivek Raj and Haitham Khouri (collectively, the “EverArc Founders”), each of whom serves as a director of the Company.
As previously disclosed, effective as of the consummation of the Business Combination and continuing through December 31, 2031, the EverArc Founder Entity is entitled to a variable annual advisory amount once the Average Price (as defined in the Advisory Services Agreement) per ordinary share of the Company (the “Ordinary Shares”) is at least $10.00 for ten consecutive trading days. The variable annual advisory fee payable in the first year (i.e., the year ended December 31, 2021) is equal to 18% of the increase in market value of one Ordinary Share over $10.00, based upon the volume weighted average share price over the last ten trading days of the year (the “Average Price”) multiplied by 157,137,410 (the “Founder Advisory Agreement Calculation Number”), being such number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately following the Business Combination. The Average Price for 2021 was $13.6254 per share, resulting in a total variable annual advisory fee for 2021 of 7,525,906 Ordinary Shares, or a value of $102,543,480 (the “2021 Variable Amount”). In subsequent years, the variable annual advisory amount will be equal to 18% of the increase in market value of one Ordinary Share over the previous year’s Average Price multiplied by the Founder Advisory Agreement Calculation Number. Effective as of the consummation of the Business Combination and continuing through December 31, 2027, the EverArc Founder Entity is also entitled to a fixed annual advisory amount equal to 1.5% of the Founder Advisory Agreement Calculation Number: 2,357,061 Ordinary Shares or a value of $32,115,899 (based on the Average Price for 2021) (the “2021 Fixed Amount” and together with the 2021 Variable Amount, the “2021 Advisory Amounts”).
Pursuant to the Advisory Services Agreement, the 2021 Advisory Amounts will be paid in Ordinary Shares or partly in cash, at the election of the EverArc Founder Entity provided that at least 50% of the 2021 Advisory Amounts are paid in Ordinary Shares. The EverArc Founders have advised the Company that their intention is to elect, via the EverArc Founder Entity, to receive any advisory amounts payable in Ordinary Shares and for any cash element to only be such amount as is required to meet any related taxes. The EverArc Founder Entity elected to receive approximately 60% of the 2021 Advisory Amounts in Ordinary Shares (5,952,992 Ordinary Shares, the “Advisory Shares”) and 40% of the 2021 Advisory Amounts in cash ($53,547,483) and such 2021 Advisory Amounts were paid on February 15, 2022. After giving effect to the issuance of the Advisory Shares, the Company has 163,232,667 Ordinary Shares outstanding.
