Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On June 10, 2016, Garnero Group Acquisition Company, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“ GGAC ”), entered into Amendment No.1 (the “ Amendment ”) to the First Amended and Restated Investment Agreement (the “ Investment Agreement ”) by and among GGAC, Q1 Comercial de Roupas S.A., a Brazilian company (the “ Company ”), Alvaro Jabur Maluf Junior and Paulo Jabur Maluf (the “ Controlling Persons ”) and the persons listed under the caption “Optionholder” on the signature pages thereto (the “ Optionholders ”). Except as the context otherwise requires, references to the “Investment Agreement” are to the Investment Agreement as amended by the Amendment.

 

The Amendment was prompted in part by the Company’s entry into its previously announced financial restructuring plan (the “ Debt Plan ”). Upon consummation of the Debt Plan, the Company’s outstanding unsecured debt will be replaced by either discounted debt with extended payment terms, equity, debentures or convertible debentures, at the option of each unsecured creditor. The debentures will earn a percentage of the Company’s profits (or 0.5% simple interest per annum, if greater). The Debt Plan has been approved by approximately 64% of the Company’s unsecured creditors and, upon confirmation by a Brazilian court, will be applicable to all of the Company’s unsecured creditors. Under the terms of the Debt Plan, the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement must be approved by 60% of the debenture holders, with silence constituting consent. Upon confirmation of the Debt Plan, Warley Pimentel will assume the role as the new Chief Executive Officer of the Company; the current Chief Executive Officer, Alvaro Jabur Maluf Jr., will take an advisory role to the senior management.

 

The Amendment effectuated the following changes, among others, to the Investment Agreement:

 

The Controlling Persons committed to purchase, directly or through other entities acting at their direction, $10 million of GGAC ordinary shares in the public market. Under the Investment Agreement as it existed prior to the Amendment, the Controlling Persons were required to use their best efforts to purchase, directly or indirectly, $30 million of GGAC ordinary shares in the public market.
     
The outside date for completing the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement was extended from March 31, 2016 to June 25, 2016 (or to July 22, 2016 if GGAC obtains an extension of the date by which it must complete an initial business combination).
     
The Company committed to obtain, or to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain, certain necessary consents and approvals, including the court approval of the Debt Plan, certain necessary amendments to the Debt Plan and the consent of the debenture holders.
     
The Company made certain additional representations and warranties concerning the Debt Plan.
     
GGAC’s obligations under the Investment Agreement were made subject to the following additional conditions: (i) the Company having obtained the consent of the debenture holders, and (ii) the necessary amendments to the Debt Plan being in full force and effect.
     
The Company agreed to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by GGAC if GGAC is required to obtain an extension of the date by which it must complete an initial business combination.
     
Certain other changes were made to reflect the terms of the Debt Plan.

(c)          Section 2.5(b) of the Investment Agreement is hereby amended by replacing it in its entirety with the following:

(d)          Section 2.7 is hereby amended by inserting the following as new paragraphs (e), (f) and (g):

 

“(e) The Company has provided to GGAC a correct and complete copy of the audited consolidated financial statements (including any related notes thereto) of the Company for the fiscal years ended on December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 (the “ New Audited Financial Statements ”).

  2

To the Company’s knowledge, the requirements for court confirmation of the Debt Plan have been satisfied and there are no facts or circumstances that would prevent such court confirmation. Upon court confirmation by such court, the Debt Plan will be enforceable against all unsecured creditors of the Company. Section 2.25 of the Company Schedule sets forth the unsecured creditors of the Company who have signed an instrument of adhesion to the Debt Plan. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Debt Plan nor the transactions contemplated thereby shall in any way limit or adversely affect (i) the enforceability of this Agreement against the Company, the Controlling Persons and the Optionholders, or the rights and remedies available to GGAC hereunder, or (ii) except to the extent of payment provisions with respect to unsecured credits covered by the Debt Plan, the enforceability of any Company Contract by the Company or its Subsidiaries, or the rights and remedies available to the Company or its Subsidiaries under any such contract.”

Exhibit 99.1

 

Garnero Group Announces Amendment to Terms of Merger with Grupo Colombo

 

NEW YORK, June 15, 2016 - Garnero Group Acquisition Company (NASDAQ: GGAC) (“GGAC”), a public investment vehicle formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, acquisition or similar business combination, and Q1 Comercial de Roupas S.A. ("Grupo Colombo" or "GC"), a leading apparel retailer in Brazil, announced today that they have entered into an amendment to the definitive investment agreement (“Amendment”) related to their previously announced proposed merger.

 

The Amendment was prompted in part by Grupo Colombo’s entry into its previously disclosed financial restructuring. As announced on June 10, 2016, Grupo Colombo’s restructuring plan provides capital structure equalization and a balanced cash flow for operations going forward. The restructuring plan has been approved by approximately 64% of Grupo Colombo’s unsecured creditors and, upon confirmation by the Brazilian courts, will be applicable to all of Grupo Colombo’s unsecured creditors. In place of their current debts, unsecured creditors will receive either a discounted debt with extended payment terms, equity, debentures or convertible debentures. The debentures will earn a percentage of Grupo Colombo’s profits (or 0.5% simple interest per annum, if greater). Under the terms of the restructuring plan, the transactions contemplated by the investment agreement must be approved by 60% of the debenture holders, with silence constituting consent. Upon confirmation of the debt reorganization, Warley Pimentel will assume the role as the new CEO of Grupo Colombo; the current CEO, Alvaro Jabur Jr., will take an advisory role to the senior management.

 

Key changes to the investment agreement include the following:

 

The shareholders of GC have now committed to purchase, directly or through other entities acting at their direction, $10 million of GGAC shares in the public market.
The date by which the transactions must be completed pursuant to the investment agreement has been extended to June 25, 2016 (or July 22, 2016 if GGAC obtains an extension of the date by which it must complete an initial business combination).
Grupo Colombo has committed to obtain, or to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain, certain necessary consents and approvals, including the court approval of the restructuring plan, certain necessary amendments to the restructuring plan and the consent of the debenture holders.
Grupo Colombo will pay the fees and expenses incurred by GGAC if GGAC is required to obtain an extension of the date by which it must complete an initial business combination.
Other changes necessary to reflect the terms of the restructuring plans.

 

The description of the transaction contained herein is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the definitive agreement relating to the transaction, a copy of which will be filed by GGAC with the SEC as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K. Interested parties should visit the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
