Dear Gores Holdings II, Inc. Stockholder:

        We cordially invite you to attend a special meeting in lieu of the 2018 annual meeting of the stockholders of Gores Holdings II, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("we," "us," "our" or the "Company"), which will be held on [    ·    ] at [    ·    ] local time at [    ·    ] (the "Special Meeting").

        On June 21, 2018, the Company, AM Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("First Merger Sub"), AM Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Second Merger Sub"), Greenlight Holding II Corporation ("Greenlight") and PE Greenlight Holdings, LLC (the "Platinum Stockholder" or, in its capacity as the Stockholder Representative, the "Stockholder Representative"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended on August 23, 2018 by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Agreement and Plan of Merger, a copy of which is attached to the accompanying proxy statement as Annex B ("Amendment No. 1 to the Merger Agreement"), and as it may be further amended from time to time, the "Merger Agreement"), which provides for, among other things, (i) the merger of First Merger Sub with and into Greenlight, with Greenlight continuing as the surviving corporation (the "First Merger") and (ii) immediately following the First Merger and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, the merger of Greenlight with and into Second Merger Sub with Second Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity (the "Second Merger" and, together with the First Merger, the "Mergers" and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the "Business Combination"). As a result of the First Merger, the Company will own 100% of the outstanding common stock of Greenlight and each share of common stock of Greenlight will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a portion of the consideration. As a result of the Second Merger, the Company will own 100% of the outstanding interests in the Second Merger Sub. Following the closing of the Business Combination, the Company will own, directly or indirectly, all the stock of Greenlight and its subsidiaries and the stockholders of Greenlight as of immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger (the "Greenlight Stockholders") will hold a portion of the Company's Class A Stock. You are being asked to vote on the Business Combination between us and Greenlight.

        At the Special Meeting, our stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal (the "Business Combination Proposal" or "Proposal No. 1") to adopt the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached to the accompanying proxy statement as Annex A, and approve the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination. Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement and customary adjustments set forth therein, the aggregate merger consideration to be paid in connection with the Business Combination is expected to be approximately $2.3 billion, which amount will be: (i) increased or decreased by the amount, if any, by which Greenlight's working capital at closing is greater than or less than $52,000,000, as the case may be (in each case, subject to certain limitations); (ii) increased by the amount of cash held by Greenlight as of the closing of the Business Combination; (iii) increased by the amount, if any, by which any income tax refunds of Greenlight and its subsidiaries (to the extent not received in cash by Greenlight or its subsidiaries prior to the Business Combination) for the taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on the date of the closing of the Business Combination and the taxable period ending on December 31, 2017 (or, with respect to any non-calendar year taxpayer for income tax purposes, the taxable year immediately preceding the taxable year (or portion thereof) ending on the date of the closing of the Business Combination for which final income tax returns have not been filed) exceeds the accrued but unpaid income taxes of Greenlight and its subsidiaries for such tax periods; (iv) decreased by the amount, if any, by which any accrued but unpaid income taxes of Greenlight and its subsidiaries for the taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on the date of the closing of the Business Combination and the taxable period ended on

i


Table of Contents

December 31, 2017 (or, with respect to any non-calendar year taxpayer for income tax purposes, the taxable year immediately preceding the taxable year (or portion thereof) ending on the date of the closing of the Business Combination for which final income tax returns have not been filed) exceed any income tax refunds of Greenlight and its subsidiaries to the extent not received in cash by Greenlight or its subsidiaries prior to the Business Combination, for such taxable periods; (v) decreased by the amount of Greenlight's outstanding indebtedness under its existing credit facilities; (vi) decreased by the amount by which Greenlight's transaction expenses exceed $20,000,000; and (vii) decreased by the amount payable by Greenlight to employees of Greenlight and other participants pursuant to the Greenlight Holding Corporation 2018 Participation Plan (the "Participation Plan").

        The consideration to be paid to the Greenlight Stockholders will be a combination of cash and stock. The amount of cash consideration payable to the Greenlight Stockholders is the sum of: (i) cash available to us from the Trust Account, after giving effect to taxes payable and any redemptions that may be elected by any of our public stockholders for their pro rata share of the aggregate amount of funds on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the closing of the Business Combination (which instructions to redeem such public shares are further discussed in this proxy statement); plus (ii) the anticipated gross proceeds of approximately $400,000,000 from a private placement, pursuant to which certain investors have agreed to purchase an aggregate of 43,478,261 shares of Class A Stock (the "Private Placement"); less (iii) certain transaction fees and expenses of the Company, including the payment of deferred underwriting commissions agreed to at the time of our IPO (as defined below); less (iv) certain payments to participants in the Participation Plan, less (v) approximately $132,515,647 that will be used to repay a portion of the existing indebtedness of Greenlight. The remainder of the consideration paid to the Greenlight Stockholders will be stock consideration, consisting of approximately 65,200,000 newly-issued shares of our publicly-traded Class A Stock, which shares will be valued at $10.00 per share for purposes of determining the aggregate number of shares payable to the Greenlight Stockholders for their ownership interests therein. The foregoing consideration to be paid to the Greenlight Stockholders may be further increased by amounts payable under a tax receivable agreement to be entered into at the Closing of the Business Combination, substantially in the form attached as Annex H to this proxy statement (the "Tax Receivable Agreement"), and amounts payable as earn-out shares of Class A Stock. The number of shares of Class A Stock issued to the Greenlight Stockholders as stock consideration is subject to adjustment, depending on, among other things, the level of redemptions of shares of Class A Stock by our public stockholders or in certain cases to preserve the intended tax-free treatment of the Business Combination. To the extent the Stock Consideration were increased to preserve the intended tax-free treatment of the Business Combination, there would be a corresponding reduction to the cash consideration paid to the Greenlight Stockholders. At the closing of the Business Combination, each Greenlight Stockholder will receive shares of Class A Stock, but only the Platinum Stockholder will receive the cash consideration. Following the closing of the Business Combination, each Greenlight Stockholder may receive cash consideration as a result of any upward adjustment of the purchase price, but only the Platinum Stockholder will receive any amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement or amounts payable as earn-out shares of Class A Stock.

        In order to facilitate the Business Combination, our sponsor, Gores Sponsor II LLC (the "Sponsor"), has agreed to cancel 3,478,261 shares of Class F Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Class F Stock"), issued to it prior to our IPO ("Founder Shares") and the Company has agreed to the purchase of shares of Class A Stock by the participants in the Private Placement (pursuant to subscription agreements entered into in connection therewith) at a discounted price of $9.20 per share. The remaining Founder Shares will automatically convert into shares of Class A Stock on a one-for-one basis at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and will continue to be subject to the transfer restrictions applicable to the Founder Shares.

Table of Contents

        At the closing of the Business Combination, we will enter into the Tax Receivable Agreement, substantially in the form attached as Annex H to this proxy statement, with the Platinum Stockholder and the Stockholder Representative. The Tax Receivable Agreement will generally provide for the payment by the Company to the Platinum Stockholder of 50% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that the Company actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after the closing of the Business Combination as a result of the increase in the tax basis of the intangible assets of Highway Toll Administration LLC ("HTA") resulting from the acquisition of HTA by Verra Mobility prior to the Business Combination. The Company generally will retain the benefit of the remaining 50% of these cash savings.

        At the Special Meeting, Company stockholders will be asked to adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination. In addition, you are being asked to consider and vote upon: (i) a proposal to approve, for purposes of complying with applicable Nasdaq listing rules, the issuance of more than 20% of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock pursuant to the Business Combination and the Private Placement (the "Nasdaq Proposal" or "Proposal No. 2"), (ii) a proposal to adopt the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in the form attached hereto as Annex C (the "Charter Approval Proposal" or "Proposal No. 3"), (iii) a separate proposal with respect to certain governance provisions in the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which are being separately presented in accordance with SEC requirements and which will be voted upon on a non-binding advisory basis (the "Governance Proposal" or "Proposal No. 4"), (iv) a proposal to elect seven directors to serve staggered terms on our Board until the 2019, 2020 and 2021 annual meetings of stockholders, as applicable, and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified (the "Director Election Proposal" or "Proposal No. 5"), (v) a proposal to approve the Verra Mobility Corporation 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan"), including the authorization of the initial share reserve under the Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan Proposal" or "Proposal No. 6") and (vi) a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal or the Charter Approval Proposal (the "Adjournment Proposal" or "Proposal No. 7"). A copy of our proposed Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation reflecting the Charter Approval Proposal, assuming the consummation of the Business Combination, is attached as Annex C to the accompanying proxy statement.

        Each of these proposals is more fully described in this proxy statement, which each stockholder is encouraged to read carefully.

        Our publicly-traded common stock, units and warrants are currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols "GSHT," "GSHTU" and "GSHTW," respectively. We intend to apply to continue the listing of our publicly-traded common stock and warrants on Nasdaq under the symbols VRRM and VRRMW, respectively, upon the closing of the Business Combination, though such securities may not be listed, for instance if there is not a sufficient number of round lot holders.

        Pursuant to our current certificate of incorporation, we are providing our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem, upon the closing of the Business Combination, shares of Class A Stock then held by them for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit (as of two business days prior to the closing of the Business Combination) in our Trust Account that holds the proceeds (including interest not previously released to the Company to fund Regulatory Withdrawals and/or to pay its franchise and income taxes) of our IPO. The per-share amount we will distribute to investors who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commission totaling $14,000,000 that we will pay to the underwriters of our IPO or transaction expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, based on the fair value of investment securities held in our Trust Account of approximately $404,611,945 as of June 30, 2018, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.12. Public

stockholders may elect to redeem their shares even if they vote for the Business Combination. A public stockholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate his, her or its shares or, if part of such a group, the group's shares, in excess of 20% of the shares of Class A Stock included in the units sold in our IPO. We refer to this as the "20% threshold." We have no specified maximum redemption threshold under our current certificate of incorporation, other than the aforementioned 20% threshold. Each redemption of shares of Class A Stock by our public stockholders will reduce the amount in our Trust Account, which held investment securities with a fair value of approximately $404,611,945 as of June 30, 2018. The Merger Agreement provides that our obligation to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on the amount in the Trust Account and the proceeds from the Private Placement equaling or exceeding $550,000,000. The obligation of Greenlight to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on the amount of the Trust Account and the proceeds from the Private Placement equaling or exceeding $600,000,000. These conditions to closing in the Merger Agreement are for the sole benefit of the parties thereto and may be waived by such parties. If, as a result of redemptions of Class A Stock by our public stockholders, these conditions are not met (or waived), then we or Greenlight (as applicable) may elect not to consummate the Business Combination. In addition, in no event will we redeem shares of our Class A Stock in an amount that would result in the Company's failure to have net tangible assets in excess of $5,000,000. Holders of our outstanding public warrants do not have redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination. Unless otherwise specified, the information in the accompanying proxy statement assumes that none of our public stockholders exercise their redemption rights with respect to their shares of Class A Stock.

        Our Sponsor and current independent directors (our "Initial Stockholders"), as well as our officers and other current directors, have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any shares of our common stock they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, and the Founder Shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. Our Initial Stockholders have also agreed to waive their right to a conversion price adjustment with respect to any shares of our common stock they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. Currently, our Initial Stockholders own 20% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, including all of the Founder Shares. Our Initial Stockholders, directors and officers have agreed to vote any shares of the Company's common stock owned by them in favor of the Business Combination. The Founder Shares are subject to transfer restrictions.

        We are providing the accompanying proxy statement and accompanying proxy card to our stockholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the Special Meeting and at any adjournments or postponements of the Special Meeting. Information about the Special Meeting, the Business Combination and other related business to be considered by the Company's stockholders at the Special Meeting is included in this proxy statement. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, we urge all Company stockholders to read this proxy statement, including the Annexes and the accompanying financial statements of the Company and Verra Mobility, carefully and in their entirety. In particular, we urge you to read carefully the section entitled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 63 of this proxy statement.

        After careful consideration, our Board has unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, and unanimously recommends that our stockholders vote "FOR" adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, and "FOR" all other proposals presented to our stockholders in the accompanying proxy statement. When you consider the Board's recommendation of these proposals, you should keep in mind that our directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a stockholder. Please see the section entitled "Proposal No. 1—

Table of Contents

Approval of the Business Combination—Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination" for additional information.

        Approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of our outstanding shares of common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. Approval of the Nasdaq Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. Approval of the Charter Approval Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. Approval of the Governance Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of our outstanding shares of common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast in the Director Election Proposal; this means that the seven individuals nominated for election to the Board who receive the most "FOR" votes (among the shares of our common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting) will be elected. Approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of our outstanding shares of common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.

        Your vote is very important. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, please vote as soon as possible by following the instructions in this proxy statement to make sure that your shares are represented at the Special Meeting. If you hold your shares in "street name" through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure that your shares are represented and voted at the Special Meeting. The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will be consummated only if the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Charter Approval Proposal are approved at the Special Meeting. Unless waived by the parties to the Merger Agreement, the closing of the Business Combination is conditioned upon the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Charter Approval Proposal. Each of the proposals other than the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Charter Approval Proposal, is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Charter Approval Proposal, other than the Governance Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, which are not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement.

        If you sign, date and return your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be voted "FOR" each of the proposals presented at the Special Meeting. If you fail to return your proxy card or fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote, and do not attend the Special Meeting in person, the effect will be that your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Special Meeting. If you are a stockholder of record and you attend the Special Meeting and wish to vote in person, you may withdraw your proxy and vote in person.

        TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS, YOU MUST DEMAND THAT THE COMPANY REDEEM YOUR SHARES FOR A PRO RATA PORTION OF THE FUNDS HELD IN THE TRUST ACCOUNT AND TENDER YOUR SHARES TO THE COMPANY'S TRANSFER AGENT AT LEAST TWO BUSINESS DAYS PRIOR TO THE VOTE AT SUCH MEETING. YOU MAY TENDER YOUR SHARES BY EITHER DELIVERING YOUR SHARE CERTIFICATE TO THE TRANSFER AGENT OR BY DELIVERING YOUR SHARES ELECTRONICALLY USING DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY'S DWAC (DEPOSIT WITHDRAWAL AT CUSTODIAN) SYSTEM. IF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION IS NOT COMPLETED, THEN THESE SHARES WILL NOT BE REDEEMED FOR CASH. IF YOU HOLD THE SHARES IN STREET NAME, YOU WILL NEED TO INSTRUCT THE ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE AT YOUR BANK OR

This proposal will only be presented at the Special Meeting if there are

vii


Table of Contents

      not sufficient votes to approve the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal or the Charter Approval Proposal (Proposal No. 7).

        The above matters are more fully described in this proxy statement, which also includes, as Annex A, a copy of the Merger Agreement and, as Annex B, Amendment No. 1 to the Merger Agreement. We urge you to read carefully this proxy statement in its entirety, including the Annexes and accompanying financial statements of the Company and Verra Mobility.

        The record date for the Special Meeting is [    ·    ], 2018. Only stockholders of record at the close of business on that date may vote at the Special Meeting or any adjournment thereof. A complete list of our stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Special Meeting will be available for ten days before the Special Meeting at our principal executive offices for inspection by stockholders during ordinary business hours for any purpose germane to the Special Meeting.

        Our Initial Stockholders, officers and other current directors have agreed to vote any Founder Shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after our initial public offering (our "IPO") in favor of our Business Combination. Currently, our Initial Stockholders own 20% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, including all of the Founder Shares.

        Pursuant to our current certificate of incorporation, we will provide our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem, upon the closing of the Business Combination, shares of the Company's Class A Stock then held by them for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit (as of two business days prior to the closing of the Business Combination) in our trust account that holds the proceeds (including interest not previously released to the Company to fund Regulatory Withdrawals and/or to pay its franchise and income taxes) of our IPO (the "Trust Account"). The per-share amount we will distribute to our stockholders who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commission totaling $14,000,000 that we will pay to the underwriters of our IPO, as well as other transaction expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, based on the fair value of investment securities held in our Trust Account of approximately $404,611,945 as of June 30, 2018, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.12. Public stockholders may elect to redeem their shares even if they vote "FOR" the Business Combination. A public stockholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate his, her or its shares or, if part of such a group, the group's shares, in excess of 20% of the shares of common stock included in the units sold in our IPO. We have no specified maximum redemption threshold under our current certificate of incorporation, other than the aforementioned 20% threshold. Each redemption of shares of Class A Stock by our public stockholders will reduce the amount in our Trust Account, which held investment securities with a fair value of approximately $404,611,945 as of June 30, 2018. The Merger Agreement provides that our obligation to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on the amount in the Trust Account and the proceeds from the Private Placement equaling or exceeding $550,000,000. The obligation of Greenlight to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on the amount of the Trust Account and the proceeds from the Private Placement equaling or exceeding $600,000,000. These conditions to closing in the Merger Agreement are for the sole benefit of the parties thereto and may be waived by such parties. If, as a result of redemptions of Class A Stock by our public stockholders, these conditions are not met (or waived), then we or Greenlight (as applicable) may elect not to consummate the Business Combination. In addition, in no event will we redeem shares of our Class A Stock in an amount that would result in the Company's failure to have net tangible assets in excess of $5,000,000. Holders of our outstanding public warrants do not have redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination.

        Our Initial Stockholders, current officers and other current directors have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any shares of our common stock they may hold in connection with

viii


Table of Contents

the consummation of the Business Combination, and the Founder Shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. Our Initial Stockholders have also agreed to waive their right to a conversion price adjustment with respect to any shares of our common stock they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination.

        The Business Combination is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Charter Approval Proposal at the Special Meeting. Each of the proposals other than the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Charter Approval Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Charter Approval Proposal, other than the Governance Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, which are not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement.

        We anticipate raising additional proceeds to fund the Business Combination and related transactions through a private placement pursuant to which certain investors have agreed to purchase an aggregate of 43,478,261 shares of Class A Stock (the "Private Placement") for a discounted price of $9.20 per share for an aggregate commitment of approximately $400,000,000.

        A majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock entitled to vote as of the record date at the Special Meeting must be present, in person or represented by proxy, at the Special Meeting to constitute a quorum and in order to conduct business at the Special Meeting. The approval of the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the transactions contemplated thereunder, including the Business Combination, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of our outstanding shares of common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. The approval of the Nasdaq Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. The approval of the Charter Approval Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. The approval of the Governance Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of our outstanding shares of common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. Directors are elected by a plurality of votes cast in the Director Election Proposal; this means that the seven individuals nominated for election to the Board who receive the most "FOR" votes (among the shares of our common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting) will be elected. The approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of our outstanding shares of common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. The Board unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" each of these proposals.

SUMMARY TERM SHEET

        This summary term sheet, together with the sections entitled "Questions and Answers About the Proposals for Stockholders" and "Summary of the Proxy Statement," summarizes certain information contained in this proxy statement, but does not contain all of the information that is important to you. You should read carefully this entire proxy statement, including the attached Annexes, for a more complete understanding of the matters to be considered at the Special Meeting. In addition, for definitions used commonly throughout this proxy statement, including this summary term sheet, please see the section entitled "Frequently Used Terms."

    Gores Holdings II, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which we refer to as "we," "us," "our," or the "Company," is a special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

    There are currently 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company, issued and outstanding, consisting of (i) 40,000,000 shares of Class A Stock originally sold as part of the IPO, and (ii) 10,000,000 shares of Class F Stock that were initially issued to our Sponsor, prior to our IPO. There are currently no shares of Company preferred stock issued and outstanding. In addition, we issued 13,333,333 public warrants to purchase Class A Stock (originally sold as part of the units issued in our IPO) as part of our IPO along with 6,666,666 Private Placement Warrants issued to our Sponsor in a private placement on the IPO closing date. Each warrant entitles its holder to purchase one share of our Class A Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, to be exercised only for a whole number of shares of our Class A Stock. The warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination, and they expire five years after the completion of our initial business combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants at a price of $0.01 per warrant, if the last sale price of the Company's Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. The Private Placement Warrants, however, are non-redeemable so long as they are held by our Sponsor or its permitted transferees. For more information regarding the warrants, please see the section entitled "Description of the Securities."

    Greenlight is the ultimate parent company of Verra Mobility as shown in more detail in the section entitled "Summary of the Proxy Statement—Organizational Structure."

    Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement and customary adjustments set forth therein, the aggregate merger consideration to be paid in connection with the Business Combination is expected to be approximately $2.3 billion, which amount will be: (i) increased or decreased by the amount, if any, by which Greenlight's working capital at closing is greater than or less than $52,000,000, as the case may be (in each case, subject to certain limitations); (ii) increased by the amount of cash held by Greenlight as of the closing of the Business Combination; (iii) increased by the amount, if any, by which any income tax refunds of Greenlight and its subsidiaries (to the extent not yet received in cash by Greenlight or its subsidiaries prior to the Business Combination) for the taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on the date of the closing of the Business Combination and the taxable period ending on December 31, 2017 (or, with respect to any non-calendar year taxpayer for income tax purposes, the taxable year immediately preceding the taxable year (or portion thereof) ending on the date of the closing of the Business Combination for which final income tax returns have not been filed) exceed the accrued but unpaid income taxes of Greenlight and its subsidiaries for such tax periods; (iv) decreased by the amount, if any, by which any accrued but unpaid income taxes of Greenlight and its subsidiaries for the taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on the date of the closing of the Business Combination and the taxable period ended on December 31, 2017 (or, with respect to any non-calendar year taxpayer for income tax purposes, the taxable year immediately preceding the taxable year (or portion thereof) ending on the date of the closing of the Business Combination for which final income tax returns have not been filed) exceed any income tax refunds of Greenlight and its subsidiaries to the extent not yet received in cash by Greenlight or its subsidiaries prior to the Business Combination for such taxable periods; (v) decreased by the amount of Greenlight's outstanding indebtedness under its existing credit facilities; (vi) decreased by the amount by which Greenlight's transaction expenses exceed $20,000,000; and (vii) decreased by the amount payable by Greenlight to the employees of Greenlight pursuant to the Participation Plan. The consideration to be paid to the Greenlight Stockholders will be a combination of cash and stock.

    The amount of cash consideration payable to the Greenlight Stockholders is the sum of: (i) cash available to us from the Trust Account, after giving effect to taxes payable and any redemptions that may be elected by any of our public stockholders for their pro rata share of the aggregate amount of funds on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the closing of the Business Combination (which instructions to redeem such public shares are further discussed in this proxy statement); plus (ii) the anticipated gross proceeds of approximately $400,000,000 from the Private Placement; less (iii) certain transaction fees and expenses of the Company, including the payment of deferred underwriting commissions agreed to at the time of our IPO; less (iv) certain payments to participants in the Participation Plan, less (v) approximately $132,515,647 that will be used to repay a portion of the existing indebtedness of Greenlight. The remainder of the consideration paid to the Greenlight Stockholders will be stock consideration, consisting of approximately 65,200,000 newly issued shares of our Class A Stock, which shares will be valued at $10.00 per share for purposes of determining the aggregate number of shares payable to the Greenlight Stockholders for their ownership interests therein. The foregoing consideration to be paid to the Greenlight Stockholders may be further increased by amounts

2


Table of Contents

      payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement and amounts payable as earn-out shares of Class A Stock. The number of shares of Class A Stock issued to the Greenlight Stockholders as stock consideration is subject to adjustment, depending on, among other things, the level of redemptions of shares of Class A Stock by our public stockholders or in certain cases to preserve the intended tax-free treatment of the Business Combination. To the extent the Stock Consideration were increased to preserve the intended tax-free treatment of the Business Combination, there would be a corresponding reduction to the cash consideration paid to the Greenlight Stockholders. At the closing of the Business Combination, each Greenlight Stockholder will receive shares of Class A Stock, but only the Platinum Stockholder will be entitled to receive the cash consideration. Following the closing of the Business Combination, each Greenlight Stockholder may receive cash consideration as a result of any upward adjustment of the purchase price, but only the Platinum Stockholder will receive any amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement or amounts payable as earn-out shares of Class A Stock. For more information about the Merger Agreement, please see the section entitled "Proposal No. 1—Approval of the Business Combination—The Merger Agreement."

    It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Business Combination: (i) the Company's public stockholders (other than the Private Placement Investors) will retain an ownership interest of approximately 26% in the post-combination company; (ii) the Private Placement Investors will own approximately 28% of the post-combination company (such that public stockholders, including Private Placement Investors, will own approximately 54% of the post-combination company); (iii) our Initial Stockholders will own approximately 4% of the post-combination company, after giving effect to the cancellation of approximately 3,478,261 Founder Shares held by our Sponsor without giving effect to the expected distribution of Founder Shares to members of our Sponsor immediately prior to closing; and (iv) the Greenlight Stockholders will own approximately 42% of the post-combination company. These levels of ownership interest assume that no shares are elected to be redeemed. The Private Placement Investors have agreed to purchase in the aggregate approximately 43,478,261 shares of Class A Stock, for approximately $400,000,000 of gross proceeds, in the Private Placement. In this proxy statement, we assume that approximately $400,000,000 of the gross proceeds from the Private Placement, in addition to $400,000,000 of the funds from the Trust Account, will be used to fund the cash consideration payable pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the repayment of approximately $132,515,647 of Greenlight's existing indebtedness and the payment of certain transaction expenses. The ownership percentage with respect to the post-combination company following the Business Combination (a) does not take into account (1) warrants to purchase Class A Stock that will remain outstanding immediately following the Business Combination or (2) the issuance of any shares upon completion of the Business Combination under the Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement as Annex I, but (b) does include Founder Shares, which will be converted into shares of Class A Stock at the closing of the Business Combination on a one-for-one basis (after giving effect to the cancellation of approximately 3,478,261 of such shares and even though such shares of Class A Stock will be subject to transfer restrictions). If the actual facts are different than these assumptions (which they are likely to be), the percentage ownership retained by the Company's existing stockholders in the post-combination company will be different. For more information, please see the sections entitled "Summary of the Proxy Statement—Impact of the Business Combination on the Company's Public Float" and "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information."

    Our management and Board considered various factors in determining whether to approve the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, including that Verra Mobility believes it is a leading provider of tech-enabled smart transportation solutions with market-leading positions for integrated toll management services in North America and road safety cameras in the United States, and superior scale,

      comprehensive and diverse product platforms, and robust portfolio of patents and other proprietary technology, which the Board believes positions Verra Mobility for future growth and profitability. For more information about our decision-making process, see the section entitled "Proposal No. 1—Approval of the Business Combination—The Company's Board of Directors' Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination."

    Pursuant to our current certificate of incorporation, in connection with the Business Combination, holders of our public shares may elect to have their Class A Stock redeemed for cash at the applicable redemption price per share calculated in accordance with our current certificate of incorporation. As of June 30, 2018, the redemption price would have been approximately $10.12 per share. If a holder exercises its redemption rights, then such holder will be exchanging its shares of our Class A Stock for cash and will no longer own shares of the post-combination company and will not participate in the future growth of the post-combination company, if any. Such a holder will be entitled to receive cash for its public shares only if it properly demands redemption and delivers its shares (either physically or electronically) to our transfer agent at least two business days prior to the Special Meeting. Please see the section entitled "Special Meeting in Lieu of 2018 Annual Meeting of the Company's Stockholders—Redemption Rights."

    In addition to voting on the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the transactions contemplated thereunder, including the Business Combination, at the Special Meeting, the stockholders of the Company will be asked to vote on:

    a proposal to approve, for purposes of complying with applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules, the issuance of more than 20% of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination and the Private Placement (the "Nasdaq Proposal" or "Proposal No. 2");

    a proposal to adopt the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in the form attached hereto as Annex C (the "Charter Approval Proposal" or "Proposal No. 3"),

    a separate proposal with respect to certain governance provisions in the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which are being separately presented in accordance with SEC requirements and which will be voted upon on a non-binding advisory basis (the "Governance Proposal" or "Proposal No. 4")

    a proposal to elect seven directors to serve staggered terms on our Board until the 2019, 2020 and 2021 annual meetings of stockholders, as applicable, and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified (the "Director Election Proposal" or "Proposal No. 5");

    a proposal to approve the Incentive Plan, including the authorization of the initial share reserve under the Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan Proposal" or "Proposal No. 6"); and

    a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Business Combination Proposal or the Nasdaq Proposal (the "Adjournment Proposal" or "Proposal No. 7").

      Please see the sections entitled "Proposal No. 1—Approval of the Business Combination," "Proposal No. 2—Approval of the Issuance of More than 20% of the Company's Issued and Outstanding Common Stock in Connection with the Business Combination and the Private Placement," "Proposal No. 3—Approval of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation," "Proposal No. 4—Approval of Certain Governance Provisions in the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation," "Proposal No. 5—Election of Directors to the

Table of Contents

      Board of Directors," "Proposal No. 6—Approval of the Incentive Plan, Including the Authorization of the Initial Share Reserve under the Incentive Plan," and "Proposal No. 7—The Adjournment Proposal." The Business Combination is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Charter Approval Proposal at the Special Meeting. Each of the proposals other than the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Charter Approval Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Charter Approval Proposal, other than the Governance Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, which are not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement.

    Upon consummation of the Business Combination, our Board anticipates increasing its initial size from four directors to seven directors, with each Class I director having a term that expires at the post-combination company's annual meeting of stockholders in 2019, each Class II director having a term that expires at the post-combination company's annual meeting of stockholders in 2020 and each Class III director having a term that expires at the post-combination company's annual meeting of stockholders in 2021, or in each case until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier resignation, removal or death. Please see the sections entitled "Proposal No. 5—Election of Directors to the Board of Directors" and "Management After the Business Combination" for additional information.

    Unless waived by the parties to the Merger Agreement, and subject to applicable law, the closing of the Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement including, among others, expiration of the waiting period under the HSR Act, receipt of certain stockholder approvals contemplated by this proxy statement and the availability of minimum cash amounts at closing. For more information about the closing conditions to the Business Combination, please see the section entitled "Proposal No. 1—Approval of the Business Combination—The Merger Agreement—Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination."

    The Merger Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the consummation of the Business Combination upon agreement of the parties thereto, or by the Company or the Stockholder Representative in specified circumstances. For more information about the termination rights under the Merger Agreement, please see the section entitled "Proposal No. 1—Approval of the Business Combination—The Merger Agreement—Termination."

    The proposed Business Combination involves numerous risks. For more information about these risks, please see the section entitled "Risk Factors."

    In considering the recommendation of our Board to vote for the proposals presented at the Special Meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal, you should be aware that aside from their interests as stockholders, our Sponsor and certain members of our Board and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of our stockholders generally. Our Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Business Combination and transaction agreements and in recommending to our stockholders that they vote in favor of the proposals presented at the Special Meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal. Stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the proposals presented at the Special Meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal. These interests include, among other things:

    the fact that our Initial Stockholders have agreed not to redeem any of the Founder Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;

5


Table of Contents

      the fact that our Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to conversion price adjustments with respect to any shares of our Common Stock they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination;

      the fact that our Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for 10,781,250 Founder Shares and (after giving effect to the cancellation of (i) 781,250 Founder Shares on February 27, 2017 and (ii) approximately 3,478,261 Founder Shares at the time of the Business Combination) the remaining 6,521,739 Founder Shares will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination, which if unrestricted and freely tradable would be valued at approximately $65,217,390 (after giving effect to the cancellation of approximately 3,478,261 Founder Shares) but, given the restrictions on such shares, we believe such shares have less value;

      the fact that our Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if we fail to complete an initial business combination by January 19, 2019;

      the fact that our Sponsor paid an aggregate of approximately $10,000,000 for its 6,666,666 Private Placement Warrants to purchase shares of Class A Stock and that such Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless if a business combination is not consummated by January 19, 2019;

      the continued right of our Sponsor to hold our Class A Stock and the shares of Class A Stock to be issued to our Sponsor upon exercise of its Private Placement Warrants following the Business Combination, subject to certain lock-up periods;

      if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, our Sponsor has agreed to indemnify us to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.00 per public share, or such lesser per public share amount as is in the Trust Account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which we have entered into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party (other than our independent public accountants) for services rendered or products sold to us, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account;

      the anticipated continuation of two of our existing directors, Messrs. Randall Bort and Jeffrey Rea, as directors of the post-combination company;

      the continued indemnification of our existing directors and officers and the continuation of our directors' and officers' liability insurance after the Business Combination;

      the fact that our Sponsor, officers and directors will lose their entire investment in us and will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses if an initial business combination is not consummated by January 19, 2019;

      that, as described in the Charter Approval Proposal and reflected in Annex C, our proposed Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation will be amended to exclude The Gores Group and Platinum Equity and each of their successors, certain affiliates and each of their respective transferees as "interested parties" from the list of prohibited business combinations not in compliance with Section 203 of the DGCL;

      that, at the closing of the Business Combination we will enter into the Registration Rights Agreement with the Restricted Stockholders, which provides for registration rights to Restricted Stockholders and their permitted transferees;

Table of Contents

      that certain employees and affiliates of our Sponsor have committed to purchase up to 4,203,795 shares of Class A Stock in the Private Placement for an aggregate commitment of approximately $38,674,914; and

      the fact that Alec Gores, our Chairman, is the brother of Tom Gores, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Platinum Equity, and that Tom Gores and certain employees and affiliates of Platinum Equity would participate in the Private Placement. Platinum Equity currently holds a controlling stake in Verra Mobility through the Platinum Stockholder, which will receive all of the cash consideration and a portion of the stock consideration to be paid in connection with the business combination. The Platinum Stockholder will retain approximately 34% of voting power in the post-combination company assuming no share redemptions and 47% of voting power assuming maximum share redemptions. The Platinum Stockholder will also have the right to nominate up to three directors to the post-closing company's board of directors, of whom one will initially be the current Chief Executive Officer of Verra Mobility as a Class II director and the other two will initially be representatives of the Platinum Stockholder as Class III directors. In addition, if one of the Platinum Stockholder's nominees is elected, one of the Platinum Stockholder's nominees will serve as the chairman of the board of directors and the Platinum Stockholder will have the right to appoint one representative to each committee of the board of the post-closing company. The Platinum Stockholder's right to nominate directors to the post-closing company's board is subject to maintaining its ownership percentage of the total outstanding shares of Class A Stock at certain levels as discussed elsewhere in this proxy statement.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROPOSALS FOR STOCKHOLDERS

        The questions and answers below highlight only selected information from this document and only briefly address some commonly asked questions about the proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting, including with respect to the proposed Business Combination. The following questions and answers do not include all the information that is important to our stockholders.

Q:
Why am I receiving this proxy statement?

A:
Our stockholders are being asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, among other proposals. We have entered into the Merger Agreement providing for, among other things: (i) the merger of First Merger Sub with and into Greenlight, with Greenlight continuing as the surviving corporation (the "First Merger") and (ii) immediately following the First Merger and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, the merger of Greenlight with and into Second Merger Sub with Second Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity (the "Second Merger"), which, together with the First Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement we refer to herein as the "Business Combination." You are being asked to vote on the Business Combination between us and Greenlight. Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the aggregate merger consideration to be paid in connection with the Business Combination is expected to be approximately $2.3 billion. A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to this proxy statement as Annex A and Amendment No. 1 to the Merger Agreement is attached to this proxy statement as Annex B.

    This proxy statement and its Annexes contain important information about the proposed Business Combination and the other matters to be acted upon at the Special Meeting. You should read this proxy statement and its Annexes carefully and in their entirety.

    Your vote is important. You are encouraged to submit your proxy as soon as possible after carefully reviewing this proxy statement and its Annexes.

Q:
When and where is the Special Meeting?

A:
The Special Meeting will be held on [    ·    ] at [    ·    ] local time at [    ·    ].

Q:
What are the specific proposals on which I am being asked to vote at the Special Meeting?

A:
The Company's stockholders are being asked to approve the following proposals:

1.
Business Combination Proposal—To adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination (Proposal No. 1);

2.
Nasdaq Proposal—To approve, for purposes of complying with applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules, the issuance of more than 20% of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination and the Private Placement (Proposal No. 2);

3.
Charter Approval Proposal—To consider and act upon a proposal to adopt the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in the form attached hereto as Annex C (Proposal No. 3);

4.
Governance Proposal—To consider and act upon a separate proposal with respect to certain governance provisions in the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation,

12


Table of Contents

      which are being separately presented in accordance with SEC requirements and which will be voted upon on a non-binding advisory basis (Proposal No. 4);

    5.
    Director Election Proposal—To elect seven directors to serve staggered terms on our Board until the 2019, 2020 and 2021 annual meetings of stockholders, as applicable, and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified (Proposal No. 5);

    7.
    Incentive Plan Proposal—To consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Incentive Plan, including the authorization of the initial share reserve under the Incentive Plan (Proposal No. 6); and

    8.
    Adjournment Proposal—To consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal or the Charter Approval Proposal. This proposal will only be presented at the Special Meeting if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal or the Charter Approval Proposal (Proposal No. 7).

Q:
Are the proposals conditioned on one another?

A:
Yes. The Business Combination is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Charter Approval Proposal at the Special Meeting. Each of the proposals other than the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Charter Approval Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Charter Approval Proposal, other than the Governance Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, which are not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement. It is important for you to note that in the event that the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal or the Charter Approval Proposal do not receive the requisite vote for approval, then we will not consummate the Business Combination. If we do not consummate the Business Combination and fail to complete an initial business combination by January 19, 2019, we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public stockholders.

Q:
Why is the Company providing stockholders with the opportunity to vote on the Business Combination?

A:
Under our current certificate of incorporation, we must provide all holders of public shares with the opportunity to have their public shares redeemed upon the consummation of our initial business combination either in conjunction with a tender offer or in conjunction with a stockholder vote. For business and other reasons, we have elected to provide our stockholders with the opportunity to have their public shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder vote rather than a tender offer. Therefore, we are seeking to obtain the approval of our stockholders of the Business Combination Proposal in order to allow our public stockholders to effectuate redemptions of their public shares in connection with the closing of our Business Combination. The adoption of the Merger Agreement is required under Delaware law and the approval of the Business Combination is required under our current certificate of incorporation. In addition, such approval is also a condition to the closing of the Business Combination under the Merger Agreement.

Q:
What revenues and profits/losses has Verra Mobility generated in the last three years?

A:
For the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2016 and the fiscal periods from January 1, 2017 to May 31, 2017 (Predecessor) and June 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 (Successor), Verra Mobility had total revenue of $203.6 million, $230.7 million, $93.9 million and

    $138.2 million, respectively, and net income of $11.4 million, $29.0 million, $1.2 million and $18.2 million, respectively. For additional information, please see the sections entitled "Selected Historical Financial Information of Verra Mobility" and "Verra Mobility Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

Q:
What will happen in the Business Combination?

A:
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the Company will acquire Verra Mobility in a series of transactions we collectively refer to as the "Business Combination." At the closing of the Business Combination contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the parties will undertake the following transactions: (i) the merger of First Merger Sub with and into Greenlight, with Greenlight continuing as the surviving corporation; and (ii) immediately following the First Merger and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, the merger of Greenlight with and into Second Merger Sub with Second Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity. As a result of the First Merger, at the closing of the Business Combination and in connection with the First Merger, the Company will own 100% of the outstanding common stock of Greenlight and each share of common stock of Greenlight will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a portion of the consideration. As a result of the Second Merger, the Company will own 100% of the outstanding interests in the Second Merger Sub. After the Business Combination, the Company will own, directly or indirectly, all the stock of Greenlight and its subsidiaries.

Q:
Following the Business Combination, will the Company's securities continue to trade on a stock exchange?

A:
Yes. We intend to apply to continue the listing of the post-combination company's Class A Stock and public warrants on Nasdaq under the symbols "VRRM" and VRRMW, respectively, upon the closing of the Business Combination.

Q:
How has the announcement of the Business Combination affected the trading price of the Company's Class A Stock?

A:
On June 20, 2018, the trading date before the public announcement of the Business Combination, the Company's public units, Class A Stock and warrants closed at $10.58, $10.08 and $1.66, respectively. On [    ·    ], 2018, the trading date immediately prior to the date of this proxy statement, the Company's public units, Class A Stock and warrants closed at $[    ·    ], $[    ·    ] and $[    ·    ], respectively.

Q:
How will the Business Combination impact the shares of the Company outstanding after the Business Combination?

A:
As a result of the Business Combination and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Private Placement, the amount of Common Stock outstanding will increase by approximately 210% to approximately 155,200,000 shares of Common Stock (assuming that no shares of Class A Stock are redeemed). Additional shares of Common Stock may be issuable in the future as a result of the issuance of additional shares that are not currently outstanding, including: (i) issuance of shares of Class A Stock as earn-out shares for achievement of specified thresholds in the Merger Agreement, and (ii) issuance of shares of Class A Stock upon exercise of the public warrants and Private Placement Warrants after the Business Combination. The issuance and sale of such shares in the public market could adversely impact the market price of our Common Stock, even if our business is doing well. Additionally, pursuant to the Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement as Annex I, following the closing of the Business Combination, the Company will grant awards of restricted stock units equal to approximately 3%

    of its outstanding capital stock as of closing that will vest ratably over four years (subject to continued employment) to certain individuals who executed releases in connection with Participation Plan, as a material inducement to their entering into employment with the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) following the closing, subject to certain limitations and in consultation with and based on the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Q:
Is the Business Combination the first step in a "going private" transaction?

A:
No. The Company does not intend for the Business Combination to be the first step in a "going private" transaction. One of the primary purposes of the Business Combination is to provide a platform for Verra Mobility to access the U.S. public markets.

Q:
Will the management of Verra Mobility change in the Business Combination?

A:
We anticipate that all of the executive officers of Verra Mobility will remain with the post-combination company. Messrs. Randall Bort, Jacob Kotzubei, Bryan Kelln, Jeffrey Rea, David Roberts, Jay Geldmacher and John Rexford have each been nominated to serve as directors of the post-combination company upon completion of the Business Combination. Please see the sections entitled "Proposal No. 5—Election of Directors to the Board of Directors" and "Management After the Business Combination" for additional information.

Q:
What equity stake will current stockholders of the Company, Private Placement Investors and the Greenlight Stockholders hold in the post-combination company after the closing?

A:
It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Business Combination: (i) the Company's public stockholders (other than the Private Placement Investors) will retain an ownership interest of approximately 26% in the post-combination company; (ii) the Private Placement Investors will own approximately 28% of the post-combination company (such that public stockholders, including Private Placement Investors, will own approximately 54% of the post-combination company); (iii) our Initial Stockholders will own approximately 4% of the post-combination company, after giving effect to the cancellation of approximately 3,478,261 Founder Shares held by our Sponsor without giving effect to the expected distribution of Founder Shares to members of our Sponsor immediately prior to closing; and (iv) the Greenlight Stockholders will own approximately 42% of the post-combination company. These levels of ownership interest assume that no shares are elected to be redeemed. The Private Placement Investors have agreed to purchase in the aggregate approximately 43,478,261 shares of Class A Stock, for approximately $400,000,000 of gross proceeds, in the Private Placement. In this proxy statement, we assume that approximately $400,000,000 of the gross proceeds from the Private Placement, in addition to $400,000,000 of the funds from the Trust Account, will be used to fund the cash consideration payable pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the repayment of approximately $132,515,647 of Greenlight's existing indebtedness and the payment of certain transaction expenses. The ownership percentage with respect to the post-combination company following the Business Combination (a) does not take into account (1) warrants to purchase Class A Stock that will remain outstanding immediately following the Business Combination or (2) the issuance of any shares upon completion of the Business Combination under the Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement as Annex I, but (b) does include Founder Shares, which will be converted into shares of Class A Stock at the closing of the Business Combination on a one-for-one basis (after giving effect to the cancellation of approximately 3,478,261 of such shares and even though such shares of Class A Stock will be subject to transfer restrictions). If the actual facts are different than these assumptions (which they are likely to be), the percentage ownership retained by the Company's existing stockholders in the post-combination company will be different. For more information, please see the sections entitled "Summary of the Proxy Statement—Impact of the Business

    Combination on the Company's Public Float" and "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information."

Q:
Will the Company obtain new financing in connection with the Business Combination?

A:
Yes. The Company will use the proceeds from the Private Placement, together with the funds in the Trust Account, to fund the cash consideration payable to the Greenlight Stockholders in the Business Combination, to repay approximately $132,515,647 of the existing indebtedness of Greenlight and to pay certain transaction expenses. The Private Placement is contingent upon, among other things, stockholder approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the closing of the Business Combination. In addition, the Company will be assuming approximately $852,000,000 of the existing net indebtedness of Greenlight. The Company does not anticipate obtaining any new debt financing to fund the Business Combination.

Q:
What conditions must be satisfied to complete the Business Combination?

A:
There are a number of closing conditions in the Merger Agreement, including the expiration of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act and the approval by the stockholders of the Company of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Charter Approval Proposal. For a summary of the conditions that must be satisfied or waived prior to completion of the Business Combination, please see the section entitled "Proposal No. 1—Approval of the Business Combination—The Merger Agreement."

Q:
Are there any arrangements to help ensure that the Company will have sufficient funds, together with the proceeds in its Trust Account and from the Private Placement, to fund the aggregate purchase price?

A:
Unless waived by the Company or Greenlight, as applicable, the Merger Agreement provides that (i) our obligation to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on the amount in the Trust Account and the proceeds from the Private Placement equaling or exceeding $550,000,000, and (ii) the obligation of Greenlight to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on the amount of the Trust Account and the proceeds from the Private Placement equaling or exceeding $600,000,000.

    The Private Placement Investors have agreed to purchase approximately 43,478,261 shares of Class A Stock in the aggregate in the Private Placement at a discounted price of $9.20 per share (subject to customary terms and conditions, including the closing of the Business Combination) for gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $400,000,000 pursuant to Subscription Agreements entered into at the signing of the Merger Agreement.

    The Company will use the proceeds of the Private Placement, together with the funds in the Trust Account, to fund the cash consideration in the Business Combination, to repay approximately $132,515,647 of the existing indebtedness of Greenlight and to pay certain transaction expenses. In order to facilitate the Business Combination, the Sponsor, has agreed to cancel 3,478,261 shares of Class F Stock issued to it prior to our IPO ("Founder Shares") and the Company has agreed to the purchase of shares of Class A Stock by the participants in the Private Placement (pursuant to subscription agreements entered into in connection therewith) at a discounted price of $9.20 per share. The Private Placement is contingent upon, among other things, stockholder approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the closing of the Business Combination.

Q:
Why is the Company proposing the Nasdaq Proposal?

A:
We are proposing the Nasdaq Proposal in order to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(a) and (d), which require stockholder approval of certain transactions that result in the issuance of 20%

16


Table of Contents

    or more of the outstanding voting power or shares of Common Stock outstanding before the issuance of stock or securities.

    In connection with the Business Combination, we expect to issue: (i) approximately 65,200,000 shares of Class A Stock in the Business Combination; and (ii) approximately 43,478,261 shares of Class A Stock in the Private Placement. Because we may issue 20% or more of our outstanding Common Stock when considering together the Stock Consideration and the Private Placement, we are required to obtain stockholder approval of such issuance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(a) and (d). For more information, please see the section entitled "Proposal No. 2—Approval of the Issuance of More than 20% of the Company's Issued and Outstanding Common Stock in Connection with the Business Combination and the Private Placement."

Q:
Why is the Company proposing the Charter Approval Proposal?

A:
The Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that we are asking our stockholders to adopt in connection with the Business Combination (the "Charter Approval Proposal" or "Proposal No. 3") provides for certain amendments to our existing certificate of incorporation. Pursuant to Delaware law and the Merger Agreement, we are required to submit the Charter Approval Proposal to the Company's stockholders for adoption. For additional information please see the section entitled "Proposal No. 3—Approval of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation."

Q:
Why is the Company proposing the Governance Proposal?

A:
As required by applicable SEC guidance, the Company is requesting that its stockholders vote upon, on a non-binding advisory basis, a proposal to approve certain governance provisions contained in the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that materially affect stockholder rights. This separate vote is not otherwise required by Delaware law separate and apart from Proposal No. 3, but pursuant to SEC guidance, the Company is required to submit these provisions to its stockholders separately for approval. However, the stockholder vote regarding this proposal is an advisory vote, and is not binding on the Company or its board of directors (separate and apart from the approval of Proposal No. 3). Furthermore, the Business Combination is not conditioned on the separate approval of the Governance Proposal (separate and apart from approval of Proposal No. 3). For additional information, please see the section entitled "Proposal No. 4—Approval of Certain Governance Provisions in the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation."

Q:
Why is the Company proposing the Director Election Proposal?

A:
Upon consummation of the Business Combination, our Board anticipates increasing its initial size from four directors to seven directors, with each Class I director having a term that expires at the post-combination company's annual meeting of stockholders in 2019, each Class II director having a term that expires at the post-combination company's annual meeting of stockholders in 2020 and each Class III director having a term that expires at the post-combination company's annual meeting of stockholders in 2021, or in each case until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier resignation, removal or death. The Company believes it is in the best interests of stockholders to allow stockholders to vote upon the election of newly appointed directors. Please see the section entitled "Proposal No. 5—Election of Directors to the Board of Directors" for additional information.

Q:
Why is the Company proposing the Incentive Plan Proposal?

A:
The purpose of the Incentive Plan Proposal is to further align the interests of the eligible participants with those of stockholders by providing long-term incentive compensation opportunities tied to the performance of the Company. Please see the section entitled "Proposal No. 6—Approval of the Incentive Plan, Including the Authorization of the Initial Share Reserve under the Incentive Plan" for additional information.

Q:
Why is the Company proposing the Adjournment Proposal?

A:
We are proposing the Adjournment Proposal to allow our Board to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal or the Charter Approval Proposal, but no other proposal if the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Charter Approval Proposal are approved. In no event will our Board adjourn the Special Meeting or consummate the Business Combination beyond January 19, 2019. Please see the section entitled "Proposal No. 7—The Adjournment Proposal" for additional information.

Q:
What happens if I sell my shares of Class A Stock before the Special Meeting?

A:
The record date for the Special Meeting is earlier than the date that the Business Combination is expected to be completed. If you transfer your shares of Class A Stock after the record date, but before the Special Meeting, unless the transferee obtains from you a proxy to vote those shares, you will retain your right to vote at the Special Meeting. However, you will not be able to seek redemption of your shares of Class A Stock because you will no longer be able to deliver them for cancellation upon consummation of the Business Combination. If you transfer your shares of Class A Stock prior to the record date, you will have no right to vote those shares at the Special Meeting or redeem those shares for a pro rata portion of the proceeds held in our Trust Account.

Q:
What constitutes a quorum at the Special Meeting?

A:
A majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock entitled to vote as of the record date at the Special Meeting must be present, in person or represented by proxy, at the Special Meeting to constitute a quorum and in order to conduct business at the Special Meeting. Abstentions will be counted as present for the purpose of determining a quorum. Our Initial Stockholders, who currently own 20% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, will count towards this quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the chairman of the Special Meeting has power to adjourn the Special Meeting. As of the record date for the Special Meeting, [    ·    ] shares of our Common Stock would be required to achieve a quorum.

Q:
What vote is required to approve the proposals presented at the Special Meeting?

A:
The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of our outstanding shares of common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. Accordingly, a Company stockholder's failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote with regard to the Business Combination Proposal will have no effect on the Business Combination Proposal. Abstentions will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established but will have no effect on the Business Combination Proposal. Our Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote their Founder Shares and any public shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of the Business Combination Proposal.

    The approval of the Nasdaq Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. Accordingly, a Company stockholder's failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting and broker non-votes will not be counted towards the number of shares of Common Stock required to validly establish a quorum, and if a valid quorum is otherwise established, such failure to vote and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the Nasdaq Proposal. Abstentions will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established and will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the Nasdaq Proposal.

    The approval of the Charter Approval Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. Accordingly, a Company stockholder's failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote with regard to the Charter Approval Proposal will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" such Charter Approval Proposal.

    The approval of the Governance Proposal, which is a non-binding advisory vote, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of our outstanding shares of common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. Accordingly, a Company stockholder's failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote with regard to the Governance Proposal will have no effect on the Governance Proposal. Abstentions will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established but will have no effect on the Governance Proposal.

    Directors are elected by a plurality of all of the votes cast by holders of shares of our Common Stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. This means that the seven director nominees who receive the most affirmative votes will be elected. Stockholders may not cumulate their votes with respect to the election of directors. Assuming a valid quorum is established, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors.

    The approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of our outstanding shares of common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. Accordingly, a Company stockholder's failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote will have no effect on the Incentive Plan Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal. Abstentions will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established but will have no effect on the Incentive Plan Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal.

Q:
What happens if the Business Combination Proposal is not approved?

A:
If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved and we do not consummate a business combination by January 19, 2019, we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our Trust Account.

Q:
May the Company, its Sponsor or the Company's directors or officers or their affiliates purchase shares in connection with the Business Combination?

A:
In connection with the stockholder vote to approve the proposed Business Combination, our Sponsor, directors or officers or their respective affiliates may privately negotiate transactions to purchase shares from stockholders who would have otherwise elected to have their shares redeemed in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules for a per-share pro

    rata portion of the Trust Account. None of our directors or officers or their respective affiliates will make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller or during a restricted period under Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such selling stockholder, although still the record holder of our shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights, and could include a contractual provision that directs such selling stockholder to vote such shares in a manner directed by the purchaser. In the event that our Sponsor, directors or officers or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from public stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be effected at purchase prices that are below or in excess of the per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account.

Q:
How many votes do I have at the Special Meeting?

A:
Our stockholders are entitled to one vote on each proposal presented at the Special Meeting for each share of Common Stock held of record as of [    ·    ], 2018, the record date for the Special Meeting. As of the close of business on the record date, there were [    ·    ] outstanding shares of our Common Stock.

Q:
How do I vote?

A:
If you were a holder of record of our Common Stock on [    ·    ], 2018, the record date for the Special Meeting, you may vote with respect to the proposals in person at the Special Meeting, or by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided.

    Voting by Mail.    By signing the proxy card and returning it in the enclosed prepaid and addressed envelope, you are authorizing the individuals named on the proxy card to vote your shares at the Special Meeting in the manner you indicate. We encourage you to sign and return the proxy card even if you plan to attend the Special Meeting so that your shares will be voted if you are unable to attend the Special Meeting. If you receive more than one proxy card, it is an indication that your shares are held in multiple accounts. Please sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted. Votes submitted by mail must be received by [    ·    ] on [    ·    ].

    Voting in Person at the Meeting.    If you attend the Special Meeting and plan to vote in person, we will provide you with a ballot at the Special Meeting. If your shares are registered directly in your name, you are considered the stockholder of record and you have the right to vote in person at the Special Meeting. If you hold your shares in "street name," which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the Special Meeting and vote in person, you will need to bring to the Special Meeting a legal proxy from your broker, bank or nominee authorizing you to vote these shares. For additional information, please see the section entitled "Special Meeting in Lieu of 2018 Annual Meeting of Company Stockholders."

Q:
What will happen if I abstain from voting or fail to vote at the Special Meeting?

A:
At the Special Meeting, we will count a properly executed proxy marked "ABSTAIN" with respect to a particular proposal as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. For purposes of approval, a failure to vote or an abstention will have no effect on the Business Combination Proposal, the Governance Proposal, the Director Election Proposal, the Incentive

Table of Contents

    Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, a failure to vote or abstention will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the Charter Approval Proposal, while only an abstention (and not a failure to vote) will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the Nasdaq Proposal.

Q:
What will happen if I sign and return my proxy card without indicating how I wish to vote?

A:
Signed and dated proxies received by us without an indication of how the stockholder intends to vote on a proposal will be voted "FOR" each proposal presented to the stockholders. The proxyholders may use their discretion to vote on any other matters which properly come before the Special Meeting.

Q:
If I am not going to attend the Special Meeting in person, should I return my proxy card instead?

A:
Yes. Whether you plan to attend the Special Meeting or not, please read the enclosed proxy statement carefully, and vote your shares by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided.

Q:
If my shares are held in "street name," will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me?

A:
No. Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to non-routine matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank, or nominee. We believe the proposals presented to the stockholders at this Special Meeting will be considered non-routine and, therefore, your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction on any of the proposals presented at the Special Meeting. If you do not provide instructions with your proxy, your broker, bank, or other nominee may deliver a proxy card expressly indicating that it is NOT voting your shares; this indication that a broker, bank, or nominee is not voting your shares is referred to as a "broker non-vote." Broker non-votes will not be counted for the purposes of determining the existence of a quorum or for purposes of determining the number of votes cast at the Special Meeting. Your bank, broker, or other nominee can vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your shares in accordance with directions you provide.

Q:
How will a broker non-vote impact the results of each proposal?

    Broker non-votes will count as a vote "AGAINST" the Charter Approval Proposal but will not have any effect on the outcome of any other proposals.

Q:
May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card?

A:
Yes. You may change your vote by sending a later-dated, signed proxy card to our Secretary at the address listed below so that it is received by our Secretary prior to the Special Meeting or attend the Special Meeting in person and vote. You also may revoke your proxy by sending a notice of revocation to our Secretary, which must be received by our Secretary prior to the Special Meeting.

Q:
What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

A:
You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please

    complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast your vote with respect to all of your shares.

Q:
How will the Company's Sponsor, directors and officers vote?

A:
Prior to our IPO, we entered into agreements with our Sponsor and each of our directors and officers, pursuant to which each agreed to vote any shares of Common Stock owned by them in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. None of our Sponsor, directors or officers has purchased any shares of our Common Stock during or after our IPO and, as of the date of this proxy statement, neither we nor our Sponsor, directors or officers have entered into agreements, and are not currently in negotiations, to purchase shares prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. Currently, our Initial Stockholders own 20% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, including all of the Founder Shares, and will be able to vote all such shares at the Special Meeting.

Q:
What interests do the Sponsor and the Company's current officers and directors have in the Business Combination?

A:
Our Sponsor and certain members of our Board and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) your interests. You should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Business Combination. These interests include:

    the fact that our Initial Stockholders have agreed not to redeem any of the Founder Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;

    the fact that our Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their right to conversion price adjustment with respect to any shares of our Common Stock they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination;

    the fact that our Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for 10,781,250 Founder Shares and (after giving effect to the cancellation of (i) 781,250 Founder Shares on February 27, 2017 and (ii) approximately 3,478,261 Founder Shares at the time of the Business Combination) the remaining 6,521,739 Founder Shares will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination, which if unrestricted and freely tradable would be valued at approximately $65,217,390 but, given the restrictions on such shares, we believe such shares have less value;

    the fact that our Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if we fail to complete an initial business combination by January 19, 2019;

    the fact that our Sponsor paid an aggregate of approximately $10,000,000 for its 6,666,666 Private Placement Warrants to purchase shares of Class A Stock and that such Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless if a business combination is not consummated by January 19, 2019;

    the continued right of our Sponsor to hold our Class A Stock and the shares of Class A Stock to be issued to our Sponsor upon exercise of its Private Placement Warrants following the Business Combination, subject to certain lock-up periods;

    if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, our Sponsor has agreed to indemnify us to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.00 per public share, or such lesser per public share amount as is in the Trust Account on the

        liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which we have entered into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party (other than our independent public accountants) for services rendered or products sold to us, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account;

      the anticipated continuation of two of our existing directors, Messrs. Randall Bort and Jeffrey Rea, as directors of the post-combination company;

      the continued indemnification of our existing directors and officers and the continuation of our directors' and officers' liability insurance after the Business Combination;

      the fact that our Sponsor, officers and directors will lose their entire investment in us and will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses if an initial business combination is not consummated by January 19, 2019;

      that, as described in the Charter Approval Proposal and reflected in Annex C, our proposed Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation will be amended to exclude The Gores Group and Platinum Equity and each of their successors, certain affiliates and each of their respective transferees as "interested parties" from the list of prohibited business combinations not in compliance with Section 203 of the DGCL;

      that, at the closing of the Business Combination we will enter into the Registration Rights Agreement with the Restricted Stockholders, which provides for registration rights to Restricted Stockholders and their permitted transferees;

      that certain employees and affiliates of our Sponsor have committed to purchase up to 4,203,795 shares of Class A Stock in the Private Placement for an aggregate commitment of approximately $38,674,914; and

      the fact that Alec Gores, our Chairman, is the brother of Tom Gores, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Platinum Equity, and that Tom Gores and certain employees and affiliates of Platinum Equity would participate in the Private Placement. Platinum Equity currently holds a controlling stake in Verra Mobility through the Platinum Stockholder, which will receive all of the cash consideration and a portion of the stock consideration to be paid in connection with the business combination. The Platinum Stockholder will retain approximately 34% of voting power in the post-combination company assuming no share redemptions and 47% of voting power assuming maximum share redemptions. The Platinum Stockholder will also have the right to nominate up to three directors to the post-closing company's board of directors, of whom one will initially be the current Chief Executive Officer of Verra Mobility as a Class II director and the other two will initially be representatives of the Platinum Stockholder as Class III directors. In addition, if one of the Platinum Stockholder's nominees is elected, one of the Platinum Stockholder's nominees will serve as the chairman of the board of directors and the Platinum Stockholder will have the right to appoint one representative to each committee of the board of the post-closing company. The Platinum Stockholder's right to nominate directors to the post-closing company's board is subject to maintaining its ownership percentage of the total outstanding shares of Class A Stock at certain levels as discussed elsewhere in this proxy statement.

    These interests may influence our directors in making their recommendation that you vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination.

Q:
Did the Company's Board obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination?

A:
Yes. Although our current certificate of incorporation does not require our Board to seek a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with a business combination unless the target business is affiliated with our Sponsor, directors or officers, the Board received a fairness opinion from Moelis as to the fairness, from a financial point of view and as of the date of such opinion, of the consideration to be paid by the Company to the Greenlight Stockholders in the Business Combination. Please see the section entitled "Proposal No. 1—Approval of the Business Combination—Opinion of the Company's Financial Advisor" and the opinion of Moelis attached hereto as Annex E for additional information.

Q:
What happens if I vote against the Business Combination Proposal?

A:
If you vote against the Business Combination Proposal but the Business Combination Proposal still obtains the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting, then the Business Combination Proposal will be approved and, assuming the approval of the Nasdaq Proposal and the Charter Approval Proposal and the satisfaction or waiver of the other conditions to closing, the Business Combination will be consummated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

    If you vote against the Business Combination Proposal and the Business Combination Proposal does not obtain the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting, then the Business Combination Proposal will fail and we will not consummate the Business Combination. If we do not consummate the Business Combination, we may continue to try to complete a business combination with a different target business until January 19, 2019. If we fail to complete an initial business combination by January 19, 2019, then we will be required to dissolve and liquidate the Trust Account by returning the then-remaining funds in such account to our public stockholders.

Q:
Do I have redemption rights?

A:
If you are a holder of public shares, you may redeem your public shares for cash at the applicable redemption price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest not previously released to the Company to fund Regulatory Withdrawals and/or to pay its franchise and income taxes, by (ii) the total number of then-outstanding public shares; provided that the Company will not redeem any shares of Class A Stock issued in the IPO to the extent that such redemption would result in the Company's failure to have net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) in excess of $5,000,000. A public stockholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate his, her or its shares or, if part of such a group, the group's shares, in excess of 20% of the shares of Class A Stock included in the units sold in our IPO. Holders of our outstanding public warrants do not have redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination. Our Sponsor, directors and officers have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to any shares of our Common Stock they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, and the Founder Shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. Our Initial Stockholders have also agreed to waive their right to a conversion price adjustment with respect to any shares of our common stock they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, based on the fair value of investment securities held in the Trust Account of approximately $404,611,945 as of June 30, 2018,

24


Table of Contents

    the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.12. Additionally, shares properly tendered for redemption will only be redeemed if the Business Combination is consummated; otherwise holders of such shares will only be entitled to a pro rata portion of the Trust Account (including interest not previously released to the Company to fund Regulatory Withdrawals and/or to pay its franchise and income taxes) in connection with the liquidation of the Trust Account, unless we complete an alternative business combination prior to January 19, 2019.

Q:
Can the Company's Initial Stockholders redeem their Founder Shares in connection with consummation of the Business Combination?

A:
No. Our Initial Stockholders, officers and directors have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and any public shares they may hold in connection with the consummation of our Business Combination. Our Initial Stockholders have also agreed to waive their right to a conversion price adjustment with respect to any shares of our common stock they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination.

Q:
Is there a limit on the number of shares I may redeem?

A:
Yes. A public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), is restricted from exercising redemption rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the shares sold in our IPO. Accordingly, all shares in excess of 20% owned by a holder or "group" of holders will not be redeemed for cash. On the other hand, a public stockholder who holds less than 20% of the public shares of Class A Stock and is not a member of a "group" may redeem all of the public shares held by such stockholder for cash.

    In no event is your ability to vote all of your shares (including those shares held by you or by a "group" in excess of 20% of the shares sold in our IPO) for or against our Business Combination restricted.

    We have no specified maximum redemption threshold under our current certificate of incorporation, other than the aforementioned 20% threshold. Each redemption of shares of Class A Stock by our public stockholders will reduce the amount in our Trust Account, which held cash and investment securities with a fair value of approximately $404,611,945 as of June 30, 2018. The Merger Agreement provides that our obligation to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on the amount in the Trust Account and the proceeds from the Private Placement equaling or exceeding $550,000,000. The obligation of Greenlight to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on the amount of the Trust Account and the proceeds from the Private Placement equaling or exceeding $600,000,000. These conditions to closing in the Merger Agreement are for the sole benefit of the parties thereto and may be waived by such parties. If, as a result of redemptions of Class A Stock by our public stockholders, these conditions are not met (or waived), then we or Greenlight (as applicable) may elect not to consummate the Business Combination. In addition, in no event will we redeem shares of our Class A Stock in an amount that would result in the Company's failure to have net tangible assets in excess of $5,000,000.

Q:
Is there a limit on the total number of shares that may be redeemed?

A:
Yes. Our current certificate of incorporation provides that we may not redeem our public shares in an amount that would result in the Company's failure to have net tangible assets in excess of $5,000,000 (such that we are not subject to the SEC's "penny stock" rules) or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement which may be contained in the Merger Agreement. Other than this limitation, our current certificate of incorporation does not provide a specified maximum redemption threshold. However, the Merger Agreement provides that our obligation to

25


Table of Contents

    consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on the amount in the Trust Account and the proceeds from the Private Placement equaling or exceeding $550,000,000, and the obligation of Greenlight to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on the amount of the Trust Account and the proceeds from the Private Placement equaling or exceeding $600,000,000. In the event the aggregate cash consideration we would be required to pay for all shares of Class A Stock that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement exceeds the aggregate amount of cash available to us, we may not complete the Business Combination or redeem any shares, all shares of Class A Stock submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof, and we instead may search for an alternate business combination.

    Based on the amount of $404,611,945 in our Trust Account as of June 30, 2018, and taking into account the anticipated gross proceeds of approximately $400,000,000 from the Private Placement, approximately 20,000,000 shares of Class A Stock may be redeemed and still enable us to have sufficient cash to satisfy the cash closing conditions in the Merger Agreement. We refer to this as the maximum redemption scenario.

Q:
How will the absence of a maximum redemption threshold affect the Business Combination?

A:
The Merger Agreement provides that our obligation to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on the amount in the Trust Account and the proceeds from the Private Placement equaling or exceeding $550,000,000, and the obligation of Greenlight to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on the amount of the Trust Account and the proceeds from the Private Placement equaling or exceeding $600,000,000. As a result, we may be able to complete our Business Combination even though a substantial portion of our public stockholders do not agree with the transaction and have redeemed their shares or have entered into privately negotiated agreements to sell their shares to our Sponsor, directors or officers or their affiliates. As of the date of this proxy statement, no agreements with respect to the private purchase of public shares by the Company or the persons described above have been entered into with any such investor or holder. We will file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC to disclose private arrangements entered into or significant private purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the Business Combination Proposal or other proposals (as described in this proxy statement) at the Special Meeting.

Q:
Will how I vote affect my ability to exercise redemption rights?

A:
No. You may exercise your redemption rights whether you vote your shares of Common Stock for or against, or whether you abstain from voting on the Business Combination Proposal or any other proposal described by this proxy statement. As a result, the Merger Agreement can be approved by stockholders who will redeem their shares and no longer remain stockholders, leaving stockholders who choose not to redeem their shares holding shares in a company with a potentially less-liquid trading market, fewer stockholders, potentially less cash and the potential inability to meet the listing standards of Nasdaq.

Q:
How do I exercise my redemption rights?

A:
In order to exercise your redemption rights, you must (i) check the box on the enclosed proxy card to elect redemption, (ii) if you hold public units, separate the underlying public shares and public warrants, and (iii) prior to [    ·    ] on [    ·    ] (two business days before the Special Meeting), tender your shares physically or electronically and submit a request in writing that we redeem your

26


Table of Contents

    public shares for cash to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our Transfer Agent, at the following address:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
1 State Street 30th Floor
New York, New York 10004
Attention: Mark Zimkind
Email: mzimkind@continentalstock.com

    Please check the box on the enclosed proxy card marked "Stockholder Certification" if you are not acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) with any other stockholder with respect to shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of the public shares, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from exercising redemption rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the shares of Class A Stock included in the units sold in our IPO. Accordingly, all public shares in excess of the 20% threshold beneficially owned by a public stockholder or group will not be redeemed for cash.

    Stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights and opting to deliver physical certificates should allot sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the Transfer Agent and time to effect delivery. It is our understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the Transfer Agent. However, we do not have any control over this process and it may take longer than two weeks. Stockholders who hold their shares in street name will have to coordinate with their bank, broker or other nominee to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically.

    Stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in "street name" are required to either tender their certificates to our Transfer Agent prior to the date set forth in these proxy materials, or up to [two] business days prior to the vote on the proposal to approve the Business Combination at the Special Meeting, or to deliver their shares to the Transfer Agent electronically using Depository Trust Company's ("DTC") Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian ("DWAC") system, at such stockholder's option. The requirement for physical or electronic delivery prior to the Special Meeting ensures that a redeeming stockholder's election to redeem is irrevocable once the Business Combination is approved.

    There is a nominal cost associated with the above-referenced tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The Transfer Agent will typically charge a tendering broker a fee and it is in the broker's discretion whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming stockholder. However, this fee would be incurred regardless of whether or not we require stockholders seeking to exercise redemption rights to tender their shares, as the need to deliver shares is a requirement to exercising redemption rights, regardless of the timing of when such delivery must be effectuated.

Q:
What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising my redemption rights?

A:
Whether the redemption is subject to U.S. federal income tax depends on the particular facts and circumstances. Please see the section entitled "Proposal No. 1—Approval of the Business Combination—Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations for Stockholders Exercising Redemption Rights." We urge you to consult your tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of exercising your redemption rights.

Q:
If I am a Company warrant holder, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my public warrants?

A:
No. The holders of our public warrants have no redemption rights with respect to our public warrants.

Q:
Do I have appraisal rights if I object to the proposed Business Combination?

A:
No. Appraisal rights are not available to holders of our Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination.

Q:
What happens to the funds held in the Trust Account upon consummation of the Business Combination?

A:
The funds held in the Trust Account (together with the proceeds from the Private Placement) will be used to: (i) pay the cash consideration payable to the Greenlight Stockholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement; (ii) pay Company stockholders who properly exercise their redemption rights; (iii) pay $14,000,000 in deferred underwriting commissions to the underwriters of our IPO, in connection with the Business Combination; (iv) pay certain other fees, costs and expenses (including regulatory fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printer fees and other professional fees) that were incurred by the Company and other parties to the Merger Agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Business Combination, and pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement; and (v) repay approximately $132,515,647 of Greenlight's existing indebtedness.

Q:
What happens if the Business Combination is not consummated?

A:
There are certain circumstances under which the Merger Agreement may be terminated. Please see the section entitled "Proposal No. 1—Approval of the Business Combination—The Merger Agreement" for information regarding the parties' specific termination rights.

    If we do not consummate the Business Combination, we may continue to try to complete a business combination with a different target business until January 19, 2019. Unless we amend our current certificate of incorporation (which requires the affirmative vote of 65% of all then outstanding shares of Class A Stock) and amend certain other agreements into which we have entered to extend the life of the Company, if we fail to complete an initial business combination by January 19, 2019, then we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem our public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to the Company to fund Regulatory Withdrawals and/or to pay its franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish our public stockholders' rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per unit in the IPO. Please see the section entitled "Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Company and the Business Combination."

    Holders of our Founder Shares have waived any right to any liquidation distribution with respect to such shares. In addition, if we fail to complete a business combination by January 19, 2019,

Table of Contents

contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the parties will undertake the following transactions: (i) the merger of First Merger Sub with and into Greenlight, with Greenlight continuing as the surviving corporation (the "First Merger"); and (ii) immediately following the First Merger and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, the merger of Greenlight with and into Second Merger Sub with Second Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity (the "Second Merger" and, together with the First Merger, the "Mergers").

A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to this proxy statement as Annex A and Amendment No. 1 to the Merger Agreement is attached to this proxy statement as Annex B.

Consideration to the Greenlight Stockholders in the Business Combination

        Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement and customary adjustments set forth therein, the aggregate merger consideration to be paid in connection with the Business Combination is expected to be approximately $2.3 billion, which amount will be: (i) increased or decreased by the amount, if any, by which Greenlight's working capital at closing is greater than or less than $52,000,000, as the case may be (in each case, subject to certain limitations); (ii) increased by the amount of cash held by Greenlight as of the closing of the Business Combination; (iii) increased by the amount, if any, by which any income tax refunds of Greenlight and its subsidiaries (to the extent not yet received in cash by Greenlight or its subsidiaries prior to the Business Combination) for the taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on the date of the closing of the Business Combination and the taxable period ending on December 31, 2017 (or, with respect to any non-calendar year taxpayer for income tax purposes, the taxable year immediately preceding the taxable year (or portion thereof) ending on the date of the closing of the Business Combination for which final income tax returns have not been filed) exceed the accrued but unpaid income taxes of Greenlight and its subsidiaries for such tax periods; (iv) decreased by the amount, if any, by which any accrued but unpaid income taxes of Greenlight and its subsidiaries for the taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on the date of the closing of the Business Combination and the taxable period ended on December 31, 2017 (or, with respect to any non-calendar year taxpayer for income tax purposes, the taxable year immediately preceding the taxable year (or portion thereof) ending on the date of the closing of the Business Combination for which final income tax returns have not been filed) exceed any income tax refunds of Greenlight and its subsidiaries to the extent not yet received in cash by Greenlight or its subsidiaries prior to the Business Combination for such taxable periods; (v) decreased by the amount of Greenlight's outstanding indebtedness under its existing credit facilities; (vi) decreased by the amount by which Greenlight's transaction expenses exceed $20,000,000; and (vii) decreased by the amount payable by Greenlight to the employees of Greenlight pursuant to the Participation Plan. The consideration to be paid to the Greenlight Stockholders will be a combination of cash and stock. The amount of cash consideration payable to the Greenlight Stockholders is the sum of: (i) cash available to us from the Trust Account, after giving effect to taxes payable and any redemptions that may be elected by any of our public stockholders for their pro rata share of the aggregate amount of funds on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the closing of the Business Combination (which instructions to redeem such public shares are further discussed in this proxy statement); plus (ii) the anticipated gross proceeds of approximately $400,000,000 from the Private Placement; less (iii) certain transaction fees and expenses of the Company, including the payment of deferred underwriting commissions agreed to at the time of our IPO; less (iv) certain payments to participants in the Participation Plan, less (v) approximately $132,515,647 that will be used to repay a portion of the existing indebtedness of Greenlight. The remainder of the consideration paid to the Greenlight Stockholders will be stock consideration, consisting of approximately 65,200,000 newly issued shares of our publicly-traded Class A Stock, which shares will be valued at $10.00 per share for purposes of determining the aggregate number of shares payable to the Greenlight Stockholders for their ownership interests therein. The foregoing consideration to be paid to the Greenlight Stockholders may be further increased by amounts payable

33


Table of Contents

under the Tax Receivable Agreement and amounts payable as earn-out shares of Class A Stock. The number of shares of Class A Stock issued to the Greenlight Stockholders as Stock Consideration is subject to adjustment, depending on, among other things, the level of redemptions of shares of Class A Stock by our public stockholders or in certain cases to preserve the intended tax-free treatment of the Business Combination. To the extent the Stock Consideration were increased to preserve the intended tax-free treatment of the Business Combination, there would be a corresponding reduction to the cash consideration paid to the Greenlight Stockholders. At the closing of the Business Combination, each Greenlight Stockholder will receive shares of Class A Stock, but only the Platinum Stockholder will be entitled to receive the cash consideration. Following the closing of the Business Combination, each Greenlight Stockholder may receive cash consideration as a result of any upward adjustment of the purchase price, but only the Platinum Stockholder will receive any amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement or amounts payable as earn-out shares of Class A Stock.

        The following table sets forth ranges of potential cash, stock and aggregate consideration taking into account the various adjustments discussed above. Capitalized terms used in the following table and the accompanying footnotes have the meanings assigned to them in the Merger Agreement.

    Registration Rights Agreement

        At the closing of the Business Combination, the Company will enter into the Registration Rights Agreement, substantially in the form attached as Annex F to this proxy statement, with the Restricted Stockholders. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, (a) any outstanding share of Class A Stock or any other equity security (including the Private Placement Warrants and including shares of Class A Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of any other equity security) of the Company held by a Restricted Stockholder as of the date of the Registration Rights Agreement or thereafter acquired by a Restricted Stockholder (including the shares of Class A Stock issued upon conversion of the Class F Stock and upon exercise of any Private Placement Warrants) and shares of Class A Stock issued or issuable as Earn-Out Shares to the Greenlight Stockholders and (b) any other equity security of the Company issued or issuable with respect to any such share of Common Stock by way of a stock dividend or stock split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other reorganization or otherwise, will be entitled to registration rights.

        The shares of Class A Stock to be issued in connection with the subscription agreements have not been registered under the Securities Act, and will be issued in reliance on the exemption from registration requirements thereof provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Subscription Agreements provide that the Company will, within 30 days after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, file with the SEC a registration statement registering the resale of such shares of Class A Stock and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof.

        The Subscription Agreements will terminate with no further force and effect upon the earlier to occur of: (a) such date and time as the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; (b) upon the mutual written agreement of the parties to such Subscription Agreement; or (c) if any of the conditions to closing set forth in such Subscription Agreement are not satisfied on or prior to the closing and, as a result thereof, the Business Combination fails to occur.

Incentive Plan

        Our Board approved the Incentive Plan on July 10, 2018, subject to stockholder approval of the Incentive Plan at the Special Meeting. The purpose of the Incentive Plan is to advance the interests of the Company and its stockholders by providing an incentive program that will enable the Company to attract and retain employees, consultants and directors and to provide them with an equity interest in the growth and profitability of the Company. These incentives are provided through the grant of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, other stock-based awards and cash-based awards. For more information about the Incentive Plan, please see the section entitled "Proposal No. 6—Approval of the Incentive Plan, including the Authorization of the Initial Share Reserve under the Incentive Plan—Summary of the Incentive Plan."

        The following diagram, which is subject to change based upon any redemptions by the Company's current public stockholders in connection with the Business Combination, illustrates the ownership structure of the post-combination company immediately following the Business Combination (without giving effect to the expected distribution of Founder Shares to members of our Sponsor immediately prior to closing):

Verra Mobility Corporation will change its name in connection with closing; its post-closing name is not yet determined.

Includes the ownership interest held by the Private Placement Investors. The Company's public stockholders (other than the Private Placement Investors) will retain an ownership interest of approximately 26% in the post-combination Company. The Private Placement Investors will own approximately 28% of the post-combination Company.

Redemption Rights

        Pursuant to our current certificate of incorporation, holders of public shares may elect to have their shares redeemed for cash at the applicable redemption price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest not previously released to the Company to fund Regulatory Withdrawals and/or to pay its franchise and income taxes, by (ii) the total number of then-outstanding public shares; provided that the Company will not redeem any shares of Class A Stock issued in the IPO to the extent that such redemption would result in the Company's failure to have net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) in excess of $5,000,000. As of June 30, 2018, the redemption price would have been approximately $10.12 per share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of the public shares, together with any affiliate of his or her or any other person with whom he or she is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined in Section 13(d)-(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from exercising redemption rights with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the shares of Class A Stock included in the units sold in our IPO.

39


Table of Contents

 

        If a holder exercises its redemption rights, then such holder will be exchanging its shares of our Class A Stock for cash and will no longer own shares of the post-combination company. Such a holder will be entitled to receive cash for its public shares only if it properly demands redemption and delivers its shares (either physically or electronically) to our Transfer Agent in accordance with the procedures described herein. Please see the section entitled "Special Meeting in Lieu of 2018 Annual Meeting of Company Stockholders—Redemption Rights" for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your shares for cash.

Impact of the Business Combination on the Company's Public Float

        It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Business Combination: (i) the Company's public stockholders (other than the Private Placement Investors) will retain an ownership interest of approximately 26% in the post-combination company; (ii) the Private Placement Investors will own approximately 28% of the post-combination company (such that public stockholders, including Private Placement Investors, will own approximately 54% of the post-combination company); (iii) our Initial Stockholders will own approximately 4% of the post-combination company, after giving effect to the cancellation of approximately 3,478,261 Founder Shares held by our Sponsor without giving effect to the expected distribution of Founder Shares to members of our Sponsor immediately prior to closing; and (iv) the Greenlight Stockholders will own approximately 42% of the post-combination company. These levels of ownership interest assume that no shares are elected to be redeemed. The Private Placement Investors have agreed to purchase in the aggregate approximately 43,478,261 shares of Class A Stock, for approximately $400,000,000 of gross proceeds, in the Private Placement. In this proxy statement, we assume that approximately $400,000,000 of the gross proceeds from the Private Placement, in addition to $400,000,000 of the funds from the Trust Account, will be used to fund the cash consideration payable pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the repayment of approximately $132,515,647 of Greenlight's existing indebtedness and the payment of certain transaction expenses. The ownership percentage with respect to the post-combination company following the Business Combination (a) does not take into account (1) warrants to purchase Class A Stock that will remain outstanding immediately following the Business Combination or (2) the issuance of any shares upon completion of the Business Combination under the Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement as Annex I, but (b) does include Founder Shares, which will be converted into shares of Class A Stock at the closing of the Business Combination on a one-for-one basis (after giving effect to the cancellation of approximately 3,478,261 of such shares) and even though such shares of Class A Stock will be subject to transfer restrictions. If the actual facts are different than these assumptions (which they are likely to be), the percentage ownership retained by the Company's existing stockholders in the post-combination company will be different. For more information, please see the sections entitled "Summary of the Proxy Statement—Impact of the Business Combination on the Company's Public Float" and "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information."

Board of Directors of the Company Following the Business Combination

        Messrs. Randall Bort, Jacob Kotzubei, Bryan Kelln, Jeffrey Rea, David Roberts, Jay Geldmacher and John Rexford have each been nominated to serve as directors of the post-combination company upon completion of the Business Combination." Please see the sections entitled "Proposal No. 5—Election of Directors to the Board of Directors" and "Management after the Business Combination" for additional information.

The Charter Approval Proposal

        Upon the closing of the Business Combination, our current certificate of incorporation will be amended promptly to reflect the Charter Approval Proposal to:

    change the post-combination company's name to Verra Mobility Corporation;

    change the purpose of the post-combination company to "any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware";

    increase our total number of authorized shares of all classes of Common Stock from 221,000,000 shares to 261,000,000 shares, which would consist of (i) increasing the post-combination company's Class A Stock from 200,000,000 shares to 250,000,000 shares and (ii) decreasing the post-combination company's Class F Stock from 20,000,000 shares to zero shares;

    cause the conversion of our outstanding shares of Class F Stock into Class A Stock and make certain conforming changes;

    provide that the number of directors will be determined exclusively by the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Board;

    delete the prior provisions under Article IX (Business Combination Requirements; Existence) relating to our status as a blank check company;

    provide that certain transactions are not "corporate opportunities" and that each of Platinum Equity and the investment funds affiliated with or sponsored by Platinum Equity and their respective successors and affiliates and all of their respective partners, principals, directors, officers, members, managers, equity holders and/or employees, including any of the foregoing who serve as officers or directors of the Company (each, an "Exempted Person") are not subject to the doctrine of corporate opportunity;

41


Table of Contents

    require the approval by affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the common stock of the post-combination company to make any amendment to certain provisions of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws, including any amendments to Article V (Board of Directors), Section 7.1 (Meetings), Section 7.3 (Action by Written Consent), Article VIII (Limited Liability; Indemnification), Article IX (Corporate Opportunity), Article X (Business Combinations) and Article XI (Amendment of Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation); and

    provide that the post-combination company will not be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL and, instead, include a provision in our certificate of incorporation that is substantially similar to Section 203 of the DGCL, but excludes the investment funds affiliated with The Gores Group and Platinum Equity and their respective successors and affiliates (the "Excluded Parties") from the definition of "interested stockholder," and to make certain related changes. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Excluded Parties will become "interested stockholders" within the meaning of Section 203 of the DGCL, but will not be subject to the restrictions on business combinations set forth in Section 203, as our Board approved the Business Combination in which the Excluded Parties became interested stockholders prior to such time they became interested stockholders.

Please see the section entitled "Proposal No. 3—Approval of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation "for more information.

Other Proposals

        In addition, the stockholders of the Company will be asked to vote on:

    a proposal to approve, for purposes of complying with applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules, the issuance of more than 20% of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Stock pursuant to the Business Combination and the Private Placement (Proposal No. 2);

    a separate proposal to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, certain governance provisions in the Company's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in accordance with SEC requirements (Proposal No. 4);

    a proposal to approve and adopt the Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement as Annex J, including the authorization of the initial share reserve under the Incentive Plan (Proposal No. 6); and

    a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal or the Charter Approval Proposal (Proposal No. 7).

        Please see the sections entitled "Proposal No. 2—Approval of the Issuance of More than 20% of the Company's Issued and Outstanding Common Stock in Connection with the Business Combination and the Private Placement," "Proposal No. 4—Approval of Certain Governance Provisions in the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation," "Proposal No. 6—Approval of the Incentive Plan, Including the Authorization of the Initial Share Reserve under the Incentive Plan," and "Proposal No. 7—The Adjournment Proposal" for more information.

Date, Time and Place of Special Meeting

        The Special Meeting will be held on [    ·    ] at [    ·    ] local time at [    ·    ], or at such other date, time and place to which such meeting may be adjourned or postponed, to consider and vote upon the proposals.

42


Table of Contents

Voting Power; Record Date

        Only Company stockholders of record at the close of business on [    ·    ], 2018, the record date for the Special Meeting, will be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. You are entitled to one vote for each share of Company Common Stock that you owned as of the close of business on the record date. If your shares are held in "street name" or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. On the record date, there were [    ·    ] shares of Company Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote, of which [    ·    ] are shares of Class A Stock and [    ·    ] are Founder Shares held by our Initial Stockholders.

Accounting Treatment

        The Business Combination will be accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations ("ASC 805"), with the Company treated as the legal acquirer.

        Should the Company's public stockholder redemptions exceed the level whereby the Greenlight Stockholders retain control of the post-combination company then Greenlight will be considered the acquirer for accounting purposes, notwithstanding the legal form of the Business Combination. This is referred to as reverse merger accounting. Under the no redemption scenario, where no redemptions occur, Greenlight will also be considered the acquirer for accounting purposes, and reverse merger accounting applied. This determination was primarily based on the following factors:

    Greenlight comprises the ongoing operations of the post-combination company and its size relative to the Company

    The ongoing senior management of the post-combination company will be entirely comprised of Greenlight employees.

    The size of the interest of the Greenlight's Stockholders relative to the other interests.

    The planned initial composition of the Board includes the CEO of Verra Mobility, as well as designees of the Greenlight Stockholders.

        Accordingly, under reverse merger accounting, the net assets of the Company will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

Appraisal Rights

        Appraisal rights are not available to our stockholders in connection with the Business Combination.

Proxy Solicitation

        The Company is soliciting proxies on behalf of its Board. Proxies may be solicited by mail. The Company has engaged Morrow to assist in the solicitation of proxies.

        If a stockholder grants a proxy, it may still vote its shares in person if it revokes its proxy before the Special Meeting. A stockholder may also change its vote by submitting a later-dated proxy, as described in the section entitled "Special Meeting in Lieu of 2018 Annual Meeting of Company Stockholders—Revoking Your Proxy."

Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination

        In considering the recommendation of our Board to vote in favor of the Business Combination, stockholders should be aware that aside from their interests as stockholders, our Sponsor and certain

43


Table of Contents

members of our Board and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of other stockholders generally. Our Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Business Combination, and in recommending to stockholders that they approve the Business Combination. Stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Business Combination.

        These interests include, among other things:

    the fact that our Initial Stockholders have agreed not to redeem any of the Founder Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;

    the fact that our Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to conversion price adjustments with respect to any shares of our Common Stock they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination;

    the fact that our Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for 10,781,250 Founder Shares and (after giving effect to the cancellation of (i) 781,250 Founder Shares on February 27, 2017 and (ii) approximately 3,478,261 Founder Shares at the time of the Business Combination) the remaining 6,521,739 Founder Shares will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination, which if unrestricted and freely tradable would be valued at approximately $65,217,390 but, given the restrictions on such shares, we believe such shares have less value;

    the fact that our Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if we fail to complete an initial business combination by January 19, 2019;

    the fact that our Sponsor paid an aggregate of approximately $10,000,000 for its 6,666,666 Private Placement Warrants to purchase shares of Class A Stock and that such Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless if a business combination is not consummated by January 19, 2019;

    the continued right of our Sponsor to hold our Class A Stock and the shares of Class A Stock to be issued to our Sponsor upon exercise of its Private Placement Warrants following the Business Combination, subject to certain lock-up periods;

    if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, our Sponsor has agreed to indemnify us to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.00 per public share, or such lesser per public share amount as is in the Trust Account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which we have entered into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party (other than our independent public accountants) for services rendered or products sold to us, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account;

    the anticipated continuation of two of our existing directors, Messrs. Randall Bort and Jeffrey Rea, as directors of the post-combination company;

    the continued indemnification of our existing directors and officers and the continuation of our directors' and officers' liability insurance after the Business Combination;

    the fact that our Sponsor, officers and directors will lose their entire investment in us and will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses if an initial business combination is not consummated by January 19, 2019;

    that, as described in the Charter Approval Proposal and reflected in Annex C, our proposed Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation will be amended to exclude The

44


Table of Contents

      Gores Group and Platinum Equity and each of their successors, certain affiliates and each of their respective transferees as "interested parties" from the list of prohibited business combinations not in compliance with Section 203 of the DGCL;

    that, at the closing of the Business Combination we will enter into the Registration Rights Agreement with the Restricted Stockholders, which provides for registration rights to Restricted Stockholders and their permitted transferees;

    that certain employees and affiliates of our Sponsor have committed to purchase up to 4,203,795 shares of Class A Stock in the Private Placement for an aggregate commitment of approximately $38,674,914; and

    the fact that Alec Gores, our Chairman, is the brother of Tom Gores, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Platinum Equity, and that Tom Gores and certain employees and affiliates of Platinum Equity would participate in the Private Placement. Platinum Equity currently holds a controlling stake in Verra Mobility through the Platinum Stockholder, which will receive all of the cash consideration and a portion of the stock consideration to be paid in connection with the business combination. The Platinum Stockholder will retain approximately 34% of voting power in the post-combination company assuming no share redemptions and 47% of voting power assuming maximum share redemptions. The Platinum Stockholder will also have the right to nominate up to three directors to the post-closing company's board of directors, of whom one will initially be the current Chief Executive Officer of Verra Mobility as a Class II director and the other two will initially be representatives of the Platinum Stockholder as Class III directors. In addition, if one of the Platinum Stockholder's nominees is elected, one of the Platinum Stockholder's nominees will serve as the chairman of the board of directors and the Platinum Stockholder will have the right to appoint one representative to each committee of the board of the post-closing company. The Platinum Stockholder's right to nominate directors to the post-closing company's board is subject to maintaining its ownership percentage of the total outstanding shares of Class A Stock at certain levels as discussed elsewhere in this proxy statement.

Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

        We were formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We sought to do this by utilizing the networks and industry experience of both our Sponsor and our Board to identify, acquire and operate one or more businesses within or outside of the United States, although we were not limited to a particular industry or sector.

        In particular, our Board considered the following positive factors, although not weighted or in any order of significance:

    Market Leadership with Highly Differentiated and Proprietary Platforms.  Verra Mobility believes it is a leading provider of tech-enabled smart transportation solutions, including market-leading positions for integrated toll management services in North America and road safety cameras in the United States. The Board noted Verra Mobility's superior scale, comprehensive and diverse product platforms, and robust portfolio of patents and other proprietary technology, which the Board believes positions Verra Mobility for future growth and profitability.

    Business and Financial Condition and Prospects.  The knowledge and familiarity of the Board and the Company's management with Verra Mobility's business, financial condition, results of operations (including Verra Mobility's favorable margins) and future growth prospects. The Board considered Verra Mobility's established customer relationships and its recurring revenue model that has displayed strong revenue growth in recent years. The Board discussed Verra

45


Table of Contents

      Mobility's current prospects for growth in executing upon and achieving Verra Mobility's business plans, and noted strong industry tailwinds as well as multiple opportunities for sustained, organic growth across existing and new product categories in both domestic and international markets.

    Experienced and Proven Management Team.  The Board considered the fact that the post-combination company will be led by the senior management team of Verra Mobility which, with over 150 years of collective experience, has a proven track record of operational excellence, financial performance, growth and ongoing capabilities for innovation.

    Opinion of the Company's Financial Advisor.  The opinion of Moelis, dated June 20, 2018, addressed to the Board as to the fairness, from a financial point of view and as of the date of such opinion, of the consideration to be paid by the Company in the Business Combination which opinion was based on and subject to the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations and qualifications set forth in such opinion as more fully described below under the caption "Proposal No. 1—Approval of the Business Combination—Opinion of the Company's Financial Advisor."

    Other Alternatives.  The Board's belief, after a thorough review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to the Company, that the proposed Business Combination represents the best potential business combination for the Company based upon the process utilized to evaluate and assess other potential acquisition targets, and the Board's and management's belief that such processes had not presented a better alternative.

    Terms of the Merger Agreement.  The Board considered the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination.

    Independent Director Role.  The Board is comprised of a majority of independent directors who are not affiliated with our Sponsor and its affiliates, including The Gores Group. In connection with the Business Combination, our independent directors, Messrs. Randall Bort, William Patton and Jeffrey Rea, took an active role in evaluating and negotiating the proposed terms of the Business Combination, including the Merger Agreement, the Related Agreements and the amendments to our current certificate of incorporation to take effect upon the completion of the Business Combination. Our independent directors evaluated and unanimously approved, as members of the Board, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, including the Business Combination.

        For more information about our decision-making process, please see the section entitled "Proposal No. 1—Approval of the Business Combination—The Company's Board of Directors' Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination."

Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination

        The respective obligations of the Company and Greenlight to consummate and effect the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are subject to the satisfaction, at or prior to the closing of the Business Combination, of each of the following conditions:

    the required vote of the Company's stockholders to approve the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Charter Approval Proposal shall have been duly obtained in accordance with the DGCL, the Company's current certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the rules and regulations of Nasdaq;

    the Company shall have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following the exercise of any redemption rights by the Company's holders of Class A Stock in accordance with the Company's current certificate of incorporation;

46


Table of Contents

    the waiting period applicable to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement under the HSR Act shall have expired or early termination must have been granted;

    there must not be in effect any law or regulation prohibiting, enjoining, restricting or making illegal the consummation of the Business Combination and no temporary, preliminary or permanent restraining order by a court of competent jurisdiction enjoining, restricting or making illegal the consummation of the Business Combination shall be in effect or will be threatened in writing by a governmental entity; and

    the shares of Class A Stock to be issued in connection with the closing of the Business Combination shall have been approved for listing upon the closing of the Business Combination on Nasdaq subject to the requirement to have a sufficient number of round lot holders.

        The obligations of the Company, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub to consummate and effect the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are subject to the satisfaction, at or prior to the closing of the Business Combination, of certain conditions, any of which may be waived, in writing, exclusively by the Company, including, among others:

    Greenlight must have performed and complied in all material respects with all obligations required to be performed or complied with by it under the Merger Agreement at or prior to closing;

    the amount in the Trust Account and the proceeds from the Private Placement, must equal or exceed $550,000,000.

        The obligation of Greenlight to consummate and effect the First Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are subject to the satisfaction, at or prior to the closing of the Business Combination, of certain conditions, any of which may be waived, in writing, exclusively by Greenlight, including, among others:

    the Company, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub must have performed and complied in all material respects with all obligations required to be performed or complied with by them under the Merger Agreement at or prior to closing;

    the amount in the Trust Account and the proceeds from the Private Placement, must equal or exceed $600,000,000.

        Please see the section entitled "Proposal No. 1—Approval of the Business Combination—Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination" for additional information.

Regulatory Matters

        Under the HSR Act and the rules that have been promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission ("FTC"), certain transactions may not be consummated unless information has been furnished to the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice ("Antitrust Division") and the FTC and certain waiting period requirements have been satisfied. The Business Combination is subject to these requirements and may not be completed until the expiration of a 30-day waiting period following the filing of the required Notification and Report Forms with the Antitrust Division and the FTC or until early termination is granted. On July 10, 2018, the Company and Greenlight filed the required forms under the HSR Act with the Antitrust Division and the FTC. Early termination of the HSR waiting period was granted on July 20, 2018.

        At any time before or after consummation of the Business Combination, notwithstanding termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, the applicable competition authorities could take such action under applicable antitrust laws as each deems necessary or desirable in the public interest, including seeking to enjoin the consummation of the Business Combination. Private parties may also

47


Table of Contents

seek to take legal action under the antitrust laws under certain circumstances. We cannot assure you that the Antitrust Division, the FTC, any state attorney general, or any other government authority will not attempt to challenge the Business Combination on antitrust grounds, and, if such a challenge is made, we cannot assure you as to its result. Neither the Company nor Verra Mobility is aware of any material regulatory approvals or actions that are required for completion of the Business Combination other than the expiration or early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act. It is presently contemplated that if any such additional regulatory approvals or actions are required, those approvals or actions will be sought. There can be no assurance, however, that any additional approvals or actions will be obtained.

Quorum and Required Vote for Proposals for the Special Meeting

        A quorum of Company stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the Special Meeting if a majority of the Company's Common Stock outstanding on the record date and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is represented in person or by proxy. Abstentions will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum.

        The approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Governance Proposal, which is a non-binding advisory vote, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of our outstanding shares of common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. Accordingly, a Company stockholder's failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote will have no effect on the Business Combination Proposal, the Governance Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal. Our Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote their Founder Shares and any public shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of the Business Combination Proposal.

        The approval of the Nasdaq Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. Accordingly, a Company stockholder's failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting and broker non-votes will not be counted towards the number of shares of Common Stock required to validly establish a quorum, and if a valid quorum is otherwise established, such failure to vote and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the Nasdaq Proposal. Abstentions will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established and will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the Nasdaq Proposal.

        The approval of the Charter Approval Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. Accordingly, a Company stockholder's failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote with regard to the Charter Approval Proposal will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" such Charter Approval Proposal.

        Directors are elected by a plurality of all of the votes cast by holders of shares of our Common Stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. This means that the seven director nominees who receive the most affirmative votes will be elected. Stockholders may not cumulate their votes with respect to the election of directors. Assuming a valid quorum is established, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors.

        The Business Combination is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Charter Approval Proposal at the Special Meeting. Each of the proposals other than the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Charter Approval Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Charter Approval Proposal, other than the Governance Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, which are not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy

statement. It is important for you to note that in the event that the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal or the Charter Approval Proposal do not receive the requisite vote for approval, we will not consummate the Business Combination. If we do not consummate the Business Combination and fail to complete an initial business combination by January 19, 2019, we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to our public stockholders.

Opinion of the Company's Financial Advisor

        In connection with the Business Combination, the Board received a written opinion, dated June 20, 2018, from the Company's financial advisor, Moelis & Company LLC ("Moelis"), as to the fairness, from a financial point of view and as of the date of such opinion, of the Consideration (as defined below) to be paid by the Company in the Business Combination.

        The full text of Moelis' written opinion dated June 20, 2018 , which sets forth the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken in connection with the opinion, is attached as Annex E to this proxy statement and is incorporated herein by reference. Moelis' opinion was provided for the use and benefit of the Board (in its capacity as such and not in any other capacity) in its evaluation of the Business Combination (and, in its engagement letter, Moelis provided its consent to the inclusion of the text of its opinion as part of this proxy statement). Moelis' opinion is limited solely to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration to be paid by the Company in the Business Combination and does not address the Company's underlying business decision to effect the Business Combination or the relative merits of the Business Combination as compared to any alternative business strategies or transactions that might be available to the Company. Moelis' opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how any stockholder of the Company should vote or act with respect to the Business Combination or any other matter. Moelis' opinion was approved by a Moelis fairness opinion committee.

        For more information, see the section entitled "Proposal No. 1—Approval of the Business Combination—Opinion of the Company's Financial Advisor" on page [    ·    ] of this proxy statement and Annex E to this proxy statement.

Independent Director Oversight

        Our Board is comprised of a majority of independent directors who are not affiliated with our Sponsor and its affiliates, including The Gores Group. In connection with the Business Combination, our independent directors, Messrs. Randall Bort, William Patton and Jeffrey Rea, took an active role in evaluating and negotiating the proposed terms of the Business Combination, including the Merger Agreement, the Related Agreements and the amendments to our current certificate of incorporation to take effect upon the completion of the Business Combination. As part of their evaluation of the Business Combination, our independent directors were aware of the potential conflicts of interest with our Sponsor and its affiliates, including The Gores Group, that could arise with regard to the proposed terms of the (i) Merger Agreement, (ii) the Private Placement and (iii) amendments to our current certificate of incorporation to take effect upon the completion of the Business Combination (including a provision that certain transactions are not "corporate opportunities" and that certain persons, including the Platinum Stockholder and its affiliates, are not subject to the doctrine of corporate opportunity and the exclusion of The Gores Group and Platinum Equity and their affiliates and transferees as "interested stockholders" from the restrictions in our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that are similar to Section 203 of the DGCL). Our independent directors reviewed and considered these interests during the negotiation of the Business Combination and in evaluating and unanimously approving, as members of the Board, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, including the Business Combination. Please see the section entitled "Proposal No. 1—Approval of the Business Combination—Independent Director Oversight."

Recommendation to Company Stockholders

        Our Board believes that each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Charter Approval Proposal, the Governance Proposal, the Director Election Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal to be presented at the Special Meeting is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders and unanimously recommends that its stockholders vote "FOR" each of the proposals.

        When you consider the recommendation of our Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, you should keep in mind that our Sponsor and certain members of our Board and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or in addition to (or which may conflict with) your interests as a stockholder. Stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Business Combination. These interests include, among other things:

    the fact that our Initial Stockholders have agreed not to redeem any of the Founder Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;

    the fact that our Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to conversion price adjustments with respect to any shares of our Common Stock they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination;

    the fact that our Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for 10,781,250 Founder Shares and (after giving effect to the cancellation of (i) 781,250 Founder Shares on February 27, 2017 and (ii) approximately 3,478,261 Founder Shares at the time of the Business Combination) the remaining 6,521,739 Founder Shares will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination, which if unrestricted and freely tradable would be valued at approximately $65,217,390 but, given the restrictions on such shares, we believe such shares have less value;

    the fact that our Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if we fail to complete an initial business combination by January 19, 2019;

    the fact that our Sponsor paid an aggregate of approximately $10,000,000 for its 6,666,666 Private Placement Warrants to purchase shares of Class A Stock and that such Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless if a business combination is not consummated by January 19, 2019;

    the continued right of our Sponsor to hold our Class A Stock and the shares of Class A Stock to be issued to our Sponsor upon exercise of its Private Placement Warrants following the Business Combination, subject to certain lock-up periods;

    if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, our Sponsor has agreed to indemnify us to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.00 per public share, or such lesser per public share amount as is in the Trust Account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which we have entered into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party (other than our independent public accountants) for services rendered or products sold to us, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account;

    the anticipated continuation of two of our existing directors, Messrs. Randall Bort and Jeffrey Rea, as directors of the post-combination company;

50


Table of Contents

    the continued indemnification of our existing directors and officers and the continuation of our directors' and officers' liability insurance after the Business Combination;

    the fact that our Sponsor, officers and directors will lose their entire investment in us and will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses if an initial business combination is not consummated by January 19, 2019;

    that, as described in the Charter Approval Proposal and reflected in Annex C, our proposed Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation will be amended to exclude The Gores Group and Platinum Equity and each of their successors, certain affiliates and each of their respective transferees as "interested parties" from the list of prohibited business combinations not in compliance with Section 203 of the DGCL;

    that, at the closing of the Business Combination we will enter into the Registration Rights Agreement with the Restricted Stockholders, which provides for registration rights to Restricted Stockholders and their permitted transferees;

    that certain employees and affiliates of our Sponsor have committed to purchase up to 4,203,795 shares of Class A Stock in the Private Placement for an aggregate commitment of approximately $38,674,914; and

    the fact that Alec Gores, our Chairman, is the brother of Tom Gores, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Platinum Equity, and that Tom Gores and certain employees and affiliates of Platinum Equity would participate in the Private Placement. Platinum Equity currently holds a controlling stake in Verra Mobility through the Platinum Stockholder, which will receive all of the cash consideration and a portion of the stock consideration to be paid in connection with the business combination. The Platinum Stockholder will retain approximately 34% of voting power in the post-combination company assuming no share redemptions and 47% of voting power assuming maximum share redemptions. The Platinum Stockholder will also have the right to nominate up to three directors to the post-closing company's board of directors, of whom one will initially be the current Chief Executive Officer of Verra Mobility as a Class II director and the other two will initially be representatives of the Platinum Stockholder as Class III directors. In addition, if one of the Platinum Stockholder's nominees is elected, one of the Platinum Stockholder's nominees will serve as the chairman of the board of directors and the Platinum Stockholder will have the right to appoint one representative to each committee of the board of the post-closing company. The Platinum Stockholder's right to nominate directors to the post-closing company's board is subject to maintaining its ownership percentage of the total outstanding shares of Class A Stock at certain levels as discussed elsewhere in this proxy statement.

Risk Factors

        In evaluating the Business Combination and the proposals to be considered and voted on at the Special Meeting, you should carefully review and consider the risk factors set forth under the section entitled "Risk Factors" beginning on page [    ·    ] of this proxy statement. The occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances described in that section, alone or in combination with other events or circumstances, may have a material adverse effect on (i) the ability of the Company and Greenlight to complete the Business Combination, and (ii) the business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations of Verra Mobility prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and the post-combination company following consummation of the Business Combination.

SELECTED CONSOLIDATED HISTORICAL FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION OF
VERRA MOBILITY CORPORATION

        On May 31, 2017, Verra Mobility was acquired by Greenlight Acquisition Corporation ("Acquirer") pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated April 15, 2017 by and among the Verra Mobility, Greenlight Merger Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Acquirer, ("Merger Sub") and Acquirer whereby Verra Mobility merged with and into Merger Sub with the former surviving the merger (the "Platinum Merger"). Acquirer is indirectly owned by certain private equity investment vehicles sponsored by Platinum Equity, LLC (such investment vehicles, collectively, "Platinum").

        Pursuant to the Platinum Merger, a new basis of accounting at fair value was established in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 805, Business Combinations. The new stepped-up basis was pushed down by Acquirer to Verra Mobility. The selected consolidated historical and other information is presented in distinct periods to indicate the application of two different bases of accounting between the periods presented. Periods from January 1, 2015 to May 31, 2017 have been labeled "Predecessor" and prepared using the historical basis of accounting of Verra Mobility prior to the Platinum Merger. Periods from June 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018 have been labeled "Successor" and have been prepared using the stepped-up basis to reflect the Platinum Merger.

        The following table contains summary historical consolidated financial and other data for Verra Mobility for the Successor periods for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and from June 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 (the latter period, the "2017 Successor Period"), and the Predecessor periods from January 1, 2017 to May 31, 2017 ("2017 Predecessor Period"), the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and for the five months ended May 31, 2017. The financial and other data as of December 31, 2017, December 31, 2016 and for the 2017 Successor Period, the 2017 Predecessor Period and the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 have been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements of Verra Mobility included elsewhere in this proxy statement. The financial and other data as of June 30, 2018 and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and one month ended June 30, 2017 have been derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Verra Mobility included elsewhere in this proxy statement. The data presented in the following table includes the results of HTA and EPC beginning with the date of their acquisitions. The HTA Merger was completed on March 1, 2018 and the EPC Merger was completed on April 6, 2018. Results from interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year and historical results are not indicative of the results to be expected in the future. The information below is only a summary and should be read in conjunction with the information contained under the headings "Verra Mobility Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Information About Verra Mobility" and in Verra Mobility's audited consolidated financial statements and unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement.

(1)
Product sales and the related cost of product sales result from the sale of photo enforcement equipment to certain customers. The number of customers that choose ownership of equipment is limited and creates variability in the annual results based on these customers' need for expansion of existing programs.

(2)
The purchase accounting resulting from the Platinum Merger in May 2017 increased Intangible assets subject to amortization to $222.5 million and increased the related amortization of intangibles expense in the 2017 Successor Period by $17.7 million and the six months ended June 30, 2018 by $15.6 million. On March 1, 2018, Verra Mobility acquired HTA. The purchase accounting resulting from the HTA Merger increased Intangible assets subject to amortization to $591.8 million and increased the related amortization of intangibles expense in the six months ended June 30, 2018 by $17.2 million. On April 6, 2018, Verra Mobility acquired EPC. The purchase accounting resulting from the EPC Merger increased Intangible assets subject to amortization to $616.2 million and increased the related amortization of intangibles expense in the six months ended June 30, 2018 by $0.8 million.

(3)
In connection with the Platinum Merger, in May 2017 Verra Mobility entered into a First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement and Second Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement of $325 million and $125 million, respectively, and a $40 million Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (collectively the "2017 Credit Facilities"). In connection with the HTA Merger, Verra Mobility entered into a First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement and Second Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement of $840 million and $200 million, respectively, and a $75 million Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (collectively the "2018 Credit Facilities"). The 2018 Credit Facilities replaced the 2017 Credit Facilities. Verra Mobility recorded interest expense including amortization of deferred financing cost of $20.9 million in the 2017 Successor Period, $2.9 million in the one month ended June 30, 2017 and $32.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018. Verra Mobility also recorded a $10.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt related to the establishment of the 2018 Credit Facilities in the six months ended June 30, 2018.

(4)
Other income and expenses primarily consists of rebates received from purchasing card providers based on usage volume. In 2015, Verra Mobility paid a $4.3 million earn out in connection with a 2014 acquisition within its Commercial Services segment.

(5)
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted significant changes to U.S. tax law following the passage and signing of the Tax Act. The Tax Act reduces the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from a maximum 35% to 21% and modified or eliminated other provisions in the tax code. As of December 31, 2017, Verra Mobility re-measured the applicable deferred tax assets

56


Table of Contents

    and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse. The gross deferred tax assets and liabilities were provisionally adjusted, which resulted in a net effect of a $27.3 million decrease to its Income tax provision expense in the 2017 Successor Period. Verra Mobility did not make any additional adjustments with respect to its accounting for the Tax Act in the six months ended June 30, 2018.

(6)
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin % are non-GAAP financial measures commonly used in Verra Mobility's industry and by analysts and investors as a supplemental measure of performance, but it should not be construed as an alternative to net income or to any other performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Verra Mobility has included Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin % because management uses this additional information as one of the means to measure Verra Mobility's performance, to make budgeting decisions, to allocate resources, to compare Verra Mobility's performance relative to its peers and evaluate Verra Mobility's ability to service debt. Additionally, these measures, when used in conjunction with related GAAP financial measures, provide investors with additional financial analytical framework which management uses, in addition to historical operating results, as the basis for financial, operational and planning decisions and present measurements that third parties have indicated are useful in assessing our company and its results of operations.

    Verra Mobility defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted to exclude (i) interest expense, net, (ii) income tax (benefit) provision, (iii) depreciation and amortization, and (iv) as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain non-recurring items that Verra Mobility does not consider indicative of its ongoing operating performance. These further adjustments are itemized below. Adjusted EBITDA margin % represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons Verra Mobility considers them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future Verra Mobility may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments set forth below. Verra Mobility's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

    Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin % have important limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider either in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of Verra Mobility's results as reported under GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin %:

    do not reflect Verra Mobility's capital expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
    do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, Verra Mobility's working capital needs;
    do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on Verra Mobility's debt;
    do not reflect income tax expense or the cash necessary to pay income taxes; and
    does not reflect any cash requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future.

        The non-GAAP information of Verra Mobility below and elsewhere in this proxy statement should be read in conjunction with Verra Mobility's audited consolidated financial statements and unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement.

(i)
Transaction and other related expenses incurred in 2016 relate to legal and other professional fees associated with a sale process. For the 2017 Predecessor Period, Verra Mobility recognized $21.8 million of costs related to the Platinum Merger, which consisted of $11.9 million of payments under Verra Mobility's 2016 equity plan, $1.3 million of transaction bonus payments, $7.9 million of professional fees and other expenses processed through the funds flow and $0.7 million of professional fees paid directly by Verra Mobility. For the 2017 Successor Period, Verra Mobility recognized approximately $10.2 million of costs related to the Platinum Merger, which consisted of $8.0 million of payments for acquisition services to Platinum Equity Advisors, LLC, $1.9 million of professional fees and other expenses processed through the funds flow and $0.3 million of professional fees paid directly by Verra Mobility. For the one month ended June 2017, Verra Mobility recognized approximately $10.0 million of costs related to the Platinum Merger, which consisted of $8.0 million of payments for acquisition services to Platinum Equity Advisors, LLC, $1.9 million of professional fees and other expenses processed through the funds flow and $0.1 million of professional fees paid directly by Verra Mobility. In the six months ended June 30, 2018, Verra Mobility recognized an aggregate of $23.9 million of costs related to the HTA Merger, and the EPC Merger primarily consisting of $9.7 million for acquisition services to Platinum Equity Advisors, LLC, $8.9 million of professional fees processed through the funds flow and $5.3 million of professional fees paid directly by Verra Mobility.

(ii)
Transformation expense of $3.9 million and $7.1 million for the 2017 Successor Period and the six months ended June 30, 2018 respectively, represent one-time costs related to optimizing the expense structure and defining Verra Mobility's growth strategy. For the 2017 Successor Period these costs include $1.5 million for strategy consultants, $2.1 million for procurement optimization, and $0.2 million for IT optimization. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 these costs include $5.0 million for strategy consultants, $0.8 million for procurement optimization, and $0.2 million for IT optimization. Verra Mobility does not anticipate significant expenditures of this kind in the balance of 2018 or beyond.

(iii)
This amount represents the loss on extinguishment of debt related to the 2017 Credit Facilities which were replaced by the 2018 Credit facilities in conjunction with the HTA Merger.

(iv)
Verra Mobility incurred expenses associated with a Corporate Advisory Services Agreement with an affiliate of its primary shareholder. These expenses are not expected to continue after the Merger.

(v)
In 2015, Verra Mobility paid $4.3 million earn-out associated with a 2014 acquisition within the Commercial Services segment. The payment related to performance goals reached subsequent to the acquisition.

(vi)
In 2015, Verra Mobility incurred severance charges associated with the transition of its executive leadership team.

(vii)
In 2014, Verra Mobility paid $10.2 million in connection with a tolling contract with a major RAC. This amount was capitalized and amortized over the term of the contract as a reduction of revenue. As a result of the Platinum Merger, and the resultant purchase price allocation, the contract inducement was subsumed into the larger customer relationship intangible asset recorded for this and other customers.

RISK FACTORS

        You should carefully review and consider the following risk factors and the other information contained in this proxy statement, including the financial statements and notes to the financial statements included herein, in evaluating the Business Combination and the proposals to be voted on at the Special Meeting. The following risk factors apply to the business and operations of Verra Mobility and its consolidated subsidiaries and will also apply to the business and operations of the post-combination company following the completion of the Business Combination. The occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances described in these risk factors, alone or in combination with other events or circumstances, may adversely affect the ability to complete or realize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, and may have a material adverse effect on the business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations of the post-combination company. You should carefully consider the following risk factors in addition to the other information included in this proxy statement, including matters addressed in the section entitled "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements." We or Verra Mobility may face additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known to us or Verra Mobility, or that we or Verra Mobility currently deems immaterial, which may also impair our or Verra Mobility's business or financial condition. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to the financial statements included herein.

Risks Related to Verra Mobility's Business

Verra Mobility's failure to properly perform under its contracts or otherwise satisfy its customers could have a material adverse effect.

        Verra Mobility's business model depends in large part on Verra Mobility's ability to retain existing work and attract new work from existing customers. If a customer is not satisfied with the quality of Verra Mobility's solutions or the work performed by Verra Mobility or one of its subcontractors, Verra Mobility may incur additional costs to address the problem and the profitability of that contract may be impaired. Failure to properly transition new customers to Verra Mobility's systems or existing customers to different systems of Verra Mobility, properly budget transition costs or accurately estimate contract costs could also result in delays and general customer dissatisfaction. Other than Verra Mobility's agreements with customers in the RAC industry, many of Verra Mobility's contracts may be terminated by the customer upon specified advance notice if they are not happy with Verra Mobility's performance. Moreover, any customer dissatisfaction with Verra Mobility's products, services or solutions or the timeliness or quality of Verra Mobility's work, for whatever reason, could harm Verra Mobility's reputation and hinder Verra Mobility's ability to win new work from other prospective customers. Any failure to properly perform under Verra Mobility's contracts or meet its customers' expectations could have a material adverse effect on Verra Mobility's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Verra Mobility's revenue concentration from customers in the RAC industry could have a material adverse effect.

        Verra Mobility's business is dependent on certain key customers, including those in the RAC industry. In 2017, a substantial amount of Verra Mobility's revenues were generated from RAC customers such as The Hertz Corporation, Avis Budget Group and Enterprise Holdings, Inc. The RAC industry has seen fluctuations in results from time to time, particularly as a result of periods of reduced business and leisure travel in the airline industry. The health of the RAC industry is impacted by a variety of factors, including seasonality, increases in energy prices, general international, national and local economic conditions and cycles, as well as other factors affecting travel levels, such as military conflicts, terrorist incidents, natural disasters and epidemic diseases. Further, although Verra Mobility has long-term agreements with many of its RAC customers, most provide the customer with a termination right in certain situations, including an uncured material breach of the agreement by Verra

64


Table of Contents

Mobility. Any decrease in revenues from customers in the RAC industry, whether as a result of factors impacting the RAC industry as a whole, or a loss of or reduced business from one or more of Verra Mobility's RAC customers, could have a material adverse effect on Verra Mobility's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Any decreases in the prevalence of automated and other similar methods of photo enforcement or the use of tolling could have a material adverse effect.

        Verra Mobility's Government Solutions business is the market leading provider of automated safety solutions to municipalities, school districts and other governmental authorities and generates revenues through automated photo enforcement of red light, school bus, speed limit, and bus lane laws. In 2017, revenues from this segment represented approximately 61% of Verra Mobility's revenues. Therefore, Verra Mobility is dependent on either (i) federal or state governments passing enabling legislation authorizing the use of automated photo enforcement or, (ii) in those states with home rule authority under the state constitution, states, municipalities or other local authorities not otherwise passing legislation that materially restricts the use of automated photo enforcement. In those states that do have enabling legislation, if that legislation is not renewed or is otherwise repealed, use of automated enforcement technology can be suspended until new legislation is passed, as was recently the case in the state of New York where the school zone speed photo enforcement enabling legislation was not renewed. Ballot initiatives, referendums, opinions of attorneys general, and legal challenges can also be used to restrict the use of automated enforcement or to impose additional licensing requirements on its use. For example, the Attorneys General in the states of Arizona, Tennessee and Virginia have issued opinions that had the effect of limiting the use of these enforcement technologies or impacting the manner in which photo enforcement programs operate. Usage may also be affected if there is an unfavorable shift in political support for or public sentiment towards automated enforcement, or as a result of one or more scandals related to its use. Similarly, Verra Mobility's Commercial Services business may be materially impacted if there is an unfavorable shift in political support for or public sentiment towards tolling or its use is materially restricted or limited, including through the imposition of limits on the fees RAC companies can charge their customers for tolling services. Any material restriction or limitation on the use of automated enforcement or material reduction in its use in the markets Verra Mobility serves, or any similar changes with respect to tolling, could have a material adverse effect on Verra Mobility's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Verra Mobility's government contracts are subject to unique risks and uncertainties, including termination rights, audits and investigations, any of which could have a material adverse effect.

        Government entities typically finance projects through appropriated funds. While these projects are often planned and executed as multi-year projects, government entities usually reserve the right to change the scope of or terminate these projects for lack of approved funding and/or at their convenience. Changes in government or political developments, including budget deficits, shortfalls or uncertainties, government spending reductions or other debt or funding constraints could result in Verra Mobility's government contracts being reduced in price or scope or terminated altogether, as well as limit Verra Mobility's ability to win new government work in the future. Moreover, if a government customer does not follow the requisite procurement or ordinance specific administrative procedures, the contract may be voidable regardless of whether Verra Mobility bears any responsibility for the error. Verra Mobility's government contracts often include other one-sided, customer-friendly provisions, including broad indemnification provisions and uncapped exposure or liquidated damages for certain liabilities.

        In addition, government contracts are generally subject to audits and investigations by government agencies. If the government discovers improper or illegal activities or contractual non-compliance, including improper billing, Verra Mobility may be subject to various civil and criminal penalties and

65


Table of Contents

administrative sanctions, which may include termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, the imposition of fines, penalties and sanctions, and suspensions or debarment from doing business with the government in the future. If penalties or other restrictions of these nature are imposed in one jurisdiction, it could also implicate similar provisions of contracts with other government customers. Further, the negative publicity related to these penalties, sanctions or findings in government audits or investigations could harm Verra Mobility's reputation and hinder its ability to compete for new contracts with government customers and in the private sector. Any of the foregoing or any other reduction in revenue from government customers could have a material adverse effect on Verra Mobility's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Verra Mobility's dependence on continued interest in outsourcing could have a material adverse effect.

        Verra Mobility's business and growth depend in large part on continued demand for outsourced business process services. Outsourcing means that an entity contracts with a third party, such as Verra Mobility, to provide business process services rather than performing the services in-house. There can be no assurance that this interest will continue, as Verra Mobility's customers may elect to develop their own solutions and/or perform the services themselves. Additionally, there can be no assurance that Verra Mobility's cross-selling efforts with existing customers or with the customers of a business it acquires such as HTA and EPC will lead to additional revenues. A significant change in the demand for outsourcing or an inability to cross-sell to existing customers or the customers of any business Verra Mobility acquires could have a material adverse effect on Verra Mobility's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Verra Mobility faces intense competition and any failure to compete could have a material adverse effect.

        The markets for Verra Mobility's solutions are increasingly competitive, rapidly evolving and fragmented, and are subject to changing technology and shifting customer needs. Although Verra Mobility believes that its solutions are unique, a number of vendors develop and market products and services that compete to varying extents with Verra Mobility's offerings, and Verra Mobility expects this competition to continue to intensify, particularly in the Government Solutions business. In addition, industry consolidation could further increase competition, and competitors may also establish relationships or form alliances. Currently Verra Mobility competes with a number of other companies, ranging from small, regional or specialized firms to large, diversified companies. The rapid rate of technological change in Verra Mobility's industry could increase the chances it will face competition from new products or services designed by companies not currently competing with Verra Mobility. Moreover, Verra Mobility faces competition from Verra Mobility's own customers as they may choose to invest in developing their own internal solutions.

        Competition in Verra Mobility's markets is primarily based on:

    the quality, reliability and efficacy of the solution;

    customer awareness of offerings;

    pricing;

    functionality and features, including ease of use and broad application;

    customer experience;

    breadth and depth of products and services offered;

    reputation and track record;

    technical expertise; and

    security.

        Some of Verra Mobility's existing competitors and potential new competitors have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, more established customer bases and significantly greater financial, technical, research and development, marketing and other resources than it does. As a result, Verra Mobility's competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than Verra Mobility can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards or customer requirements. Verra Mobility could lose customers if Verra Mobility's competitors introduce new competitive solutions and technologies, and/or add new features. In some cases, Verra Mobility's competitors may be better positioned to initiate or withstand substantial price competition and Verra Mobility may have to reduce its pricing to retain existing business or obtain new business. If Verra Mobility is not able to maintain favorable pricing for its solutions, its profit margin and profitability could suffer. In addition, if a prospective customer is currently using a competing solution, the customer may be unwilling to switch to Verra Mobility's without access to setup support services or other incentives. Certain existing and new competitors may be better positioned to acquire competitive solutions, effectively negotiate third-party licenses and other strategic relationships, and take advantage of acquisition or other similar expansion opportunities. Any failure to achieve Verra Mobility's target pricing levels, maintain existing customer relationships and/or generate additional customer wins and otherwise successfully compete would have a material adverse effect on Verra Mobility's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Any failure to keep up with technological developments and changing customer preferences could have a material adverse effect.

        Verra Mobility operates in dynamic industries that are characterized by rapid technological change, frequent product and service innovation and evolving industry standards and Verra Mobility may be required to implement new technologies or adapt to existing but different technologies from those currently used. Verra Mobility's future success will depend on its ability to adapt and innovate to keep up with technological developments and changes in third-party technologies, including those of Verra Mobility's customers and tolling and issuing authorities, to the extent Verra Mobility's integrations are interdependent. As a result, Verra Mobility needs to invest significant resources in research and development, often before knowing whether these investments will eventually be successful. The success of enhancements and new features for existing solutions and of new solutions depends on several factors, including adequate testing, timely completion, appropriate introduction and market acceptance. Further, Verra Mobility may be required to make changes due to an inability to secure necessary intellectual property protections or licenses. Verra Mobility's inability to anticipate or timely and successfully develop or acquire new products and services or enhance Verra Mobility's existing products and services to keep pace with technological changes and meet evolving customer requirements could decrease demand for Verra Mobility's solutions and otherwise have a material adverse effect on Verra Mobility's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Verra Mobility's new products and services and changes to existing products and services may not succeed.

        Verra Mobility's ability to retain, increase, and engage its customer base and to increase its revenue depends, in large part, on its ability to continue to evolve existing solutions and to create successful new solutions. Verra Mobility may introduce significant changes to its existing solutions or acquire or introduce new and unproven products and services, including using technologies or entering markets or industries in which it has little or no experience. For example, in the third quarter of 2018, Verra Mobility expects to roll out Peasy, its new consumer tolling mobile phone and web application targeting consumers, a market segment that Verra Mobility has not previously targeted directly. Verra Mobility has some indirect exposure to the consumer segment through its business with the RAC industry, but in those instances Verra Mobility's customer controls the pricing, marketing, consumer disclosures and other aspects of the consumer relationship, and how the RAC customers perform these functions may impact how consumers view Verra Mobility and their willingness to try its solutions. The failure of any new or enhanced Verra Mobility solution to achieve customer adoption or of Verra

Mobility to otherwise successfully monetize its development efforts could have a material adverse effect on Verra Mobility's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Verra Mobility's reliance on third-party providers could have a material adverse effect.

        Verra Mobility relies heavily on third-party providers, including subcontractors, manufacturers, software vendors, software application developers, and utility and network providers, meeting their obligations to Verra Mobility in a timely and high-quality manner. For example, Verra Mobility relies on third parties such as the National Law Enforcement Telecommunications System ("NLETS"), Polk, DMVDesk, CVR and Dealertrack to provide a direct connection to state departments of motor vehicles and other governmental agencies with which it does not have direct relationships for the driver and other information it uses in its business, and its ability to offer its solutions would be materially affected if this access was unavailable or materially restricted, or if the price Verra Mobility pays increased significantly. Verra Mobility's Government Solutions business also relies on a number of third-party manufacturers, including camera manufacturers and ALPR providers, and outsources some engineering, construction, maintenance, printing and mailing, call center, image review and violations processing work. Further, if one or more tolling authorities stops providing transponders and/or Verra Mobility is unable to obtain transponders through other sources, Verra Mobility's Commercial Services business would be affected. Verra Mobility also outsources a meaningful percentage of its software development work. Some of Verra Mobility's agreements with these third parties include termination rights, allowing the third party to terminate the arrangement in certain circumstances. For example, the agreements with Verra Mobility's third party payment processors give them the right to terminate the relationship if Verra Mobility fails to keep credit card chargeback and retrieval rates below certain thresholds. If any of Verra Mobility's third-party providers are unable or unwilling to meet their obligations to Verra Mobility, fail to satisfy Verra Mobility's expectations or those of its customers, including those imposed through flow-down provisions in prime contracts, or if they terminate or refuse to renew their relationships with Verra Mobility on substantially similar terms, Verra Mobility may be unable to find adequate replacements within a reasonable time frame, on favorable commercial terms or at all, and Verra Mobility's business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

        While Verra Mobility performs some due diligence on these third parties and takes measures to ensure that they comply with applicable laws and regulations, Verra Mobility does not have an extensive screening or review process and cannot guarantee its third party providers will comply with applicable law or the terms of their agreements and in the case of Government Solutions segment, the terms of the prime contract with the government entity. Misconduct or performance deficiencies by any of Verra Mobility's third-party providers may be perceived as misconduct or poor performance by Verra Mobility, cause Verra Mobility to fall short on its contractual obligations to its customers or harm Verra Mobility's reputation, any of which would have a material adverse effect on Verra Mobility's business, financial condition and results of operations.

A failure in or breach of Verra Mobility's networks or systems, including as a result of cyber-attacks, could have a material adverse effect.

        Verra Mobility acts as a trusted business partner in both front office and back office platforms, interacting with its customers and other third parties. Verra Mobility's customers include large, multinational corporations and government agencies who depend upon its operational efficiency, non-interruption of service, and accuracy and security of information. Verra Mobility receives, processes, transmits and stores substantial volumes of information relating to identifiable individuals, both in its role as a service provider and as an employer, and receives, processes and implements financial transactions, and disburses funds, on behalf of both commercial and government customers, which requires Verra Mobility to receive debit and credit card information. Verra Mobility also uses

68


Table of Contents

third-party providers such as subcontractors, software vendors, utility providers and network providers, upon whom Verra Mobility relies to offer its products, services and solutions. As a result of these and other aspects of Verra Mobility's business, the integrity, security and accuracy of Verra Mobility's systems and information technology and that of the third parties with which Verra Mobility interacts, including its customers and other government agencies with which it works, are extremely important.

        Verra Mobility's cybersecurity and processing systems, as well as those of the third parties with which Verra Mobility interacts, may be damaged, disrupted or otherwise breached for a number of reasons, including power outages, computer and telecommunication failures, computer viruses, malware or other destructive software, internal design, manual or usage errors, cyber-attacks, terrorism, workplace violence or wrongdoing, catastrophic events, natural disasters and severe weather conditions. Verra Mobility's visibility and role as a payment processor may also put it at a greater risk of being targeted by hackers. In the normal course of Verra Mobility's business, Verra Mobility has been the target of malicious cyber-attack attempts.

        In addition, numerous and evolving cybersecurity threats, including advanced and persistent cyber-attacks, phishing and social engineering schemes could compromise the confidentiality, availability and integrity of data in Verra Mobility's systems as well as those of the third parties with which it interacts. The security measures and procedures Verra Mobility and the third parties with which it interacts have in place to protect sensitive consumer data and other information may not be successful or sufficient to counter all data breaches, cyber-attacks, or system failures. Moreover, employee error or malfeasance, faulty password management or other irregularities may result in a defeat of security measures or a system breach. Although Verra Mobility devotes significant resources to its cybersecurity programs and has implemented security measures to protect its systems and data, and to prevent, detect and respond to data security incidents, in each case that Verra Mobility believes are reasonable and appropriate, there can be no assurance that these efforts, as well as those of the third parties with which Verra Mobility interacts, will prevent these or other threats.

        Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, or to disable or degrade systems change frequently, have become increasingly more complex and sophisticated, and may be difficult to detect for periods of time, Verra Mobility and the third parties with which it interacts may not anticipate these acts or respond adequately or timely. As these threats continue to evolve and increase, Verra Mobility may be required to devote significant additional resources in order to modify and enhance Verra Mobility's security controls and to identify and remediate any security vulnerabilities or diligencing those of third parties.

        If Verra Mobility is sued in connection with any data security breach or system failure, Verra Mobility could be involved in protracted litigation. In addition, a breach could lead to unfavorable publicity and significant damage to Verra Mobility's brand, the loss of existing and potential customers, allegations by customers that it has not performed or breached its contractual obligations, or decreased use and acceptance of its solutions. A breach or failure may also subject Verra Mobility to additional regulations or governmental or regulatory scrutiny, which could result in significant compliance costs, fines or enforcement actions, or potential restrictions imposed by regulators on Verra Mobility's ability to operate its business. A security breach would also likely require Verra Mobility to devote significant management and other resources to address the problems created by the security breach.

Verra Mobility faces risks related to its reliance on communications networks and information systems and any interruption could have a material adverse effect.

        Verra Mobility relies heavily on the satisfactory performance and availability of its information technology infrastructure and systems, including its websites and network infrastructure, to conduct its business. Verra Mobility relies on third-party communications service and system providers to provide technology services and link Verra Mobility's systems with its customers' networks and systems,

69


Table of Contents

including a reliable network backbone with the necessary speed, data capacity and security. Verra Mobility also relies on third-party vendors, including data center, bandwidth, and telecommunications equipment providers. A failure or interruption that results in the unavailability of any of Verra Mobility's information systems or a major disruption of communications between a system and the customer(s) it serves could disrupt the effective operation of Verra Mobility's solutions and otherwise adversely impact Verra Mobility's ability to manage its business effectively. Verra Mobility may experience system and service interruptions or disruptions for a variety of reasons, including as the result of network failures, power outages, cyber-attacks, employee errors, software errors, an unusually high volume of transactions, or localized conditions such as fire, explosions or power outages or broader geographic events such as earthquakes, storms, floods, epidemics, strikes, acts of war, civil unrest or terrorist acts. Verra Mobility has taken steps to mitigate its exposure to certain service disruptions by investing in redundant or blended circuits, although there is no assurance that the redundant or blended circuits would not also suffer disruption. Because Verra Mobility is dependent in part on independent third parties for the implementation and maintenance of certain aspects of Verra Mobility's systems and because some of the causes of system interruptions may be outside of Verra Mobility's control, Verra Mobility may not be able to remedy such interruptions in a timely manner, or at all. Any interruption or delay in or cessation of these services and systems could significantly disrupt operations, impact customers, damage Verra Mobility's reputation, result in litigation, decrease the overall use and acceptance of Verra Mobility's solutions, result in lost data and be costly, time consuming and difficult to remedy, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Verra Mobility's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Verra Mobility's inability to successfully implement its acquisition strategy could have a material adverse effect.

        Verra Mobility has grown in large part as a result of its recent acquisitions, including the acquisitions of HTA and EPC, and Verra Mobility anticipates continuing to grow in this manner. Although Verra Mobility expects to regularly consider additional strategic transactions in the future, there can be no assurances that suitable opportunities will be identified or, if Verra Mobility does identify prospects, that any transaction can be consummated on acceptable terms. Antitrust or other competition laws may also limit Verra Mobility's ability to acquire or work collaboratively with certain businesses or to fully realize the benefits of a prospective acquisition. Furthermore, a significant change in Verra Mobility's business or the economy, an unexpected decrease in its cash flows or any restrictions imposed by its indebtedness may limit Verra Mobility's ability to obtain the necessary capital or otherwise impede its ability to complete a transaction. Regularly considering strategic transactions can also divert management's attention and lead to significant due diligence and other expenses regardless of whether Verra Mobility pursues or consummates any transaction. Failure to identify suitable transaction partners and to consummate transactions on acceptable terms, as well as the commitment of time and resources in connection with such transactions, could have a material adverse effect on Verra Mobility's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Any failure to realize the anticipated benefits of an acquisition could have a material adverse effect.

        Verra Mobility pursues an acquisition with the expectation that the transaction will result in various benefits, including growth opportunities and synergies from increased efficiencies. However, even if Verra Mobility is able to successfully integrate an acquired business, it may not realize some or all of the anticipated benefits within the anticipated timeframes or at all. Furthermore, Verra Mobility may experience increased competition that limits its ability to expand its business, it may not be able to capitalize on expected business opportunities, and general industry and business conditions may deteriorate. If any of these or other factors limit Verra Mobility's ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of a transaction, Verra Mobility's business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Table of Contents

Unanticipated expenses and liabilities related to acquisitions could have a material adverse effect.

        Acquisitions expose Verra Mobility to significant risks and costs, and business and operational overlaps may lead to hidden costs. These costs can include unforeseen pre-acquisition liabilities or the impairment of customer relationships or certain acquired assets such as goodwill. Verra Mobility may also incur costs and inefficiencies to the extent an acquisition expands the industries, markets or geographies in which Verra Mobility operates due to its limited exposure to and experience in a given industry, market or region. Significant acquisitions may also require that Verra Mobility incur additional debt to finance the transaction, which could limit Verra Mobility's flexibility in using its cash flow from operations for other purposes. Acquisitions often involve post-transaction disputes with the counterparty regarding a number of matters, including disagreements over the amount of a purchase price or other working capital adjustment or disputes regarding whether certain liabilities are covered by the indemnification provisions of the transaction agreement. Verra Mobility may also underestimate the level of certain costs or the exposure it may face as a result of acquired liabilities. These and other unexpected transaction-related costs and liabilities could have a material adverse effect on Verra Mobility's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Any inability to successfully integrate Verra Mobility's recent or future acquisitions could have a material adverse effect.

        Verra Mobility recently acquired HTA and EPC. The integration of acquired businesses requires significant time and also exposes Verra Mobility to significant risks and additional costs. Integrating these and other acquisitions may strain Verra Mobility's resources. Further, Verra Mobility may have difficulty integrating the operations, systems, controls, procedures or products of acquired businesses and may not be able to do so in a timely, efficient and cost-effective manner. These difficulties could include:

    combining management teams, strategies and philosophies;

    merging or linking different accounting and financial reporting systems and systems of internal controls;

    assimilating personnel, human resources and other administrative departments and potentially contrasting corporate cultures;

    merging computer, technology and other information networks and systems;

    disrupting Verra Mobility's relationship with or losing key customers, suppliers or personnel; and

    interference with, or loss of momentum in, Verra Mobility's ongoing business or that of the acquired company.

Verra Mobility has not fully integrated HTA or EPC and may encounter one or more of the issues discussed above, or others of which it is not yet aware. In particular, Verra Mobility has not yet integrated the accounting and financial reporting systems of these businesses and is currently evaluating whether and to what extent Verra Mobility will do so in the future. Verra Mobility has also determined not to integrate HTA onto the legacy information technology systems of Verra Mobility, which could lead to separate risks and inefficiencies. Any of these acquisition or other integration-related issues could cause significant disruption to Verra Mobility's business, divert the attention of management and lead to substantial additional costs and delays. Verra Mobility's inability to successfully integrate acquired companies could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Failure to successfully implement Verra Mobility's brand transformation initiatives or fully realize the anticipated benefits from the transformation could have a material adverse effect.

        Verra Mobility is in the process of implementing a strategic transformation of its historic ATS and HTA brands to and under the Verra Mobility name. Any rebranding effort requires time and expense, is subject to many factors and assumptions beyond Verra Mobility's control and may impact future results. For example, Verra Mobility may lose customers if they do not respond favorably to the new brand or fail to recognize the new brand as a continuation of Verra Mobility's prior ATS business and/or the acquired HTA business. Verra Mobility cannot provide assurances that it will successfully implement or execute, or fully realize the anticipated positive impact of, this transformation initiative and strategy, on budget and in the expected timeframes, or at all. In addition, there can be no assurance that Verra Mobility's efforts, if properly executed, will result in the desired outcome of improved financial performance. Any unforeseen costs, lack of success or loss of current or potential new customers related to the rebranding could have a material adverse effect on Verra Mobility's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Verra Mobility's inability to recover capital and other investments in connection with its contracts could have a material adverse effect.

        Verra Mobility sometimes makes significant capital and other investments to attract and retain certain contracts, such as the cost of purchasing information technology equipment, constructing and installing photo enforcement systems and developing and implementing software and labor resources. The net book value of certain assets recorded, including a portion of Verra Mobility's intangible assets, could be impaired in the event of the early termination of some or all of a contract or a reduction in volumes and services under the contract for any number of reasons, including the failure or deterioration of the customer's business, a customer's exercise of contract termination or program cancellation rights or a change in law or interpretation thereof that suspends or terminates photo enforcement activities. Any failure to recover Verra Mobility's investments underlying customer agreements could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Verra Mobility regularly pursues contracts and contract renewals, particularly in its Government Solutions segment, that require competitive bidding, which can involve substantial costs and could have a material adverse effect.

        Many of the government contracts and renewals for which Verra Mobility bids, particularly those for certain larger government customers, are extremely complex and require the investment of significant resources in order to prepare accurate bids and proposals. Further, a significant percentage of new customer growth opportunities in Verra Mobility's Government Solutions business are only accessible through competitive bidding. Competitive bidding imposes substantial costs and presents a number of risks, including significant time and effort and the commitment of resources, regardless of whether the job is ultimately won. Verra Mobility may also be unable to meet the requirements of a request for proposal ("RFP"), or would have to incur substantial costs to be able to do so. These and other unanticipated costs related to the competitive bidding process, and any failure to win renewals or new customer accounts through the competitive bidding process, could have a material adverse effect on Verra Mobility's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Verra Mobility is subject to laws of the United States and foreign jurisdictions relating to privacy, data retention and individually identifiable information, and failure to comply with these laws, whether or not inadvertent, and changes to these laws, could have a material adverse effect.

        Verra Mobility receives, processes, transmits and stores information relating to identifiable individuals, both in Verra Mobility's role as a service provider and as an employer, as well as other

72


Table of Contents

sensitive data such as photographs taken and video recorded as part of its Government Solutions programs. As a result, Verra Mobility is subject to a variety of laws and regulations regarding privacy and data retention, including regulation by various government agencies, such as the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC"), and various state, local and foreign agencies. Verra Mobility's data handling also is subject to contractual obligations and industry standards. In the United States, various laws and regulations apply to the collection, processing, disclosure, and security of certain types of data, including the use of contact information and other data for marketing, advertising and other communications with individuals and businesses. Additionally, the FTC and many state attorneys general are interpreting federal and state consumer protection laws as imposing standards for the online collection, use, dissemination and security of data. A number of foreign countries and governmental bodies, including the European Union (the "E.U."), have laws and regulations dealing with the handling and processing of personal information obtained from their residents, which in certain cases are more restrictive than those in the United States. All of these laws often include obligations on companies to notify individuals of security breaches involving particular personal information, which could result from breaches experienced by the company or its third-party service providers.

        These and other laws, regulations and standards relating to privacy are evolving, can be subject to significant change and may result in ever-increasing regulatory and public scrutiny and escalating levels of enforcement and sanctions. The laws and regulations may also be subject to new or different interpretations. For example, in May 2018, the E.U. General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), replaced prior E.U. regulations, effectively extending the scope of E.U. data protection law to all non-E.U. companies processing data of E.U. residents when certain conditions are satisfied. GDPR contains numerous, more stringent requirements and changes from prior E.U. law, including more robust obligations on data processors, greater rights for data subjects, and heavier documentation requirements for data protection compliance programs. GDPR also provides for increased fines of up to the greater of €20 million or up to 4% of the annual global revenue of the noncompliant company. Further, certain of Verra Mobility's customers have indicated they may implement GDPR compliant-protocols globally, and could require Verra Mobility to conform all aspects of its business to these more stringent regulations, regardless of whether all of Verra Mobility's operations are actually subject to GDPR.

        The costs of compliance with these privacy-related laws, regulations and standards may limit the use or adoption of Verra Mobility's solutions, reduce overall demand for Verra Mobility's solutions or slow the pace at which Verra Mobility generates revenues. Moreover, if Verra Mobility's policies, procedures, or measures relating to these issues fail to comply with the applicable laws, regulations, or industry standards, Verra Mobility may be subject to governmental enforcement actions, litigation, regulatory investigations, fines, penalties and negative publicity, and Verra Mobility's application providers, customers and partners may lose trust in or stop doing business with Verra Mobility entirely. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on Verra Mobility's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Verra Mobility is subject to domestic and foreign laws relating to processing certain financial transactions, including debit or credit card transactions, and failure to comply with those laws, whether or not inadvertent could have a material adverse effect.

        Verra Mobility processes, supports and executes financial transactions as part of its business and also disburses funds on behalf of certain of its customers. This activity includes receiving debit and credit card information, processing payments for and due to Verra Mobility's customers and disbursing funds on payment or debit cards to payees of Verra Mobility's customers. As a result, Verra Mobility may be subject to numerous United States federal and state and foreign jurisdiction laws and regulations, including the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, the Currency and Foreign Transactions

73


Table of Contents

Reporting Act of 1970 (commonly known as the Bank Secrecy Act) and the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the "Patriot Act"). Verra Mobility has implemented policies and procedures to preserve and protect credit card and other payment data against loss, corruption, misappropriation caused by systems failures, unauthorized access or misuse. Notwithstanding these policies, Verra Mobility could be subject to liability claims by individuals and customers whose data resides in Verra Mobility's databases for the misuse of that information. If Verra Mobility fails to meet appropriate compliance levels, this could negatively impact Verra Mobility's ability to utilize credit cards as a method of payment, and/or collect and store credit card information, which could disrupt Verra Mobility's business. Failure to comply with these laws may subject Verra Mobility to, among other things, additional costs or changes to its business practices, liability for monetary damages, fines and/or criminal prosecution, unfavorable publicity, restrictions on its ability to process and support financial transactions and allegations by customers that Verra Mobility has not performed its contractual obligations, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Verra Mobility's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Failure to comply with anticorruption and anti-money laundering laws, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar laws associated with Verra Mobility's activities outside of the United States, could have a material and adverse effect.

        Verra Mobility's international operations, including those acquired through the EPC acquisition, subject Verra Mobility to anticorruption and other similar laws and regulations of multiple jurisdictions, as well as U.S. laws governing international operations, which are often evolving, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the "FCPA"), the U.S. domestic bribery statute contained in 18 U.S.C. § 201, the U.S. Travel Act, the Patriot Act, and comparable foreign anti-bribery and anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including the United Kingdom Bribery Act of 2010. Verra Mobility's domestic activities, particularly those related to its Government Solutions business, are also subject to a number of federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding similar matters. These laws and regulations prohibit companies and their employees and third-party intermediaries from authorizing, offering or providing, directly or indirectly, improper payments or other benefits to government officials, political parties and private-sector recipients for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business, directing business to any person or securing any advantage. Verra Mobility uses various third parties to conduct its business, both domestically and abroad, and Verra Mobility can be held liable for the corrupt or other illegal activities of its employees, representatives, contractors or subcontractors, partners, and agents, those of the third parties with which it does business or those of any business Verra Mobility acquires, even if Verra Mobility does not explicitly authorize such activities or they occurred prior to its acquisition of the relevant business. Safeguards Verra Mobility implements to discourage these practices may prove to be ineffective and any internal investigations may not uncover any such practices that may exist. Violations of the FCPA and other similar laws by Verra Mobility or any of these third parties can result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, or other liabilities or proceedings against Verra Mobility, including class action lawsuits, whistleblower complaints, enforcement actions by the SEC, Department of Justice, and U.S. state and local and foreign regulators, adverse media coverage and suspension or debarment from government contracts, any of which could have a material and adverse effect on Verra Mobility's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks related to laws and regulations and any changes in those laws could have a material adverse effect.

        Verra Mobility is subject to multiple, and sometimes conflicting, laws and regulations in the countries, states and localities in which Verra Mobility operates. In addition to the laws and regulations discussed elsewhere in these risk factors regarding data privacy, foreign operations and other matters, Verra Mobility is subject to laws regarding transportation safety, consumer protection, procurement, anti-kickback, labor and employment matters, competition and antitrust, intellectual property, environmental matters, and other trade-related laws and regulations. Certain of Verra Mobility's

operations are also subject to oversight by the U.S. Department of Transportation (the "USDOT"), the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC"), the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (the "USCPSC"), and the Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA"), as well as comparable state and local agencies, including departments of transportation, departments of motor vehicles, professional licensing authorities and offices of inspector general. Following the acquisition of EPC, Verra Mobility is now subject to laws, regulations and administrative practices addressing many of these and other matters in Europe. Verra Mobility's Government Solutions segment is also subject to laws related to the use of automated traffic enforcement, the capture, access and retention of data and matters related to government contracting.

        Recent years have seen a substantial increase in the number of new laws and regulations and the rate of change and enforcement of many of these types of laws and regulations. Verra Mobility cannot predict the nature, scope or impact of future laws, regulatory requirements or similar standards may have on its business, whether implemented through changes to existing laws or the way they are administered or interpreted, or through entirely new regulations. Future laws, regulations, and standards or any changed interpretation or administration of existing laws or regulations could limit the use or adoption of one or more of Verra Mobility's solutions or require Verra Mobility to incur additional cost or impact its ability to develop and market new solutions. However, Verra Mobility may not be able to respond in a reasonable or cost effective manner, or at all. To the extent Verra Mobility does make what Verra Mobility believes are appropriate changes, there is no certainty those actions will comply.

        Any alleged or actual violations of any law or regulation, change in law or regulation or changes in the interpretation of existing laws or regulations may subject Verra Mobility to government scrutiny, including government or regulatory investigations and enforcement actions and civil and criminal fines and penalties, and negative publicly, or otherwise have a material adverse effect on Verra Mobility's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Failure to acquire necessary intellectual property or adequately protect Verra Mobility's intellectual property could have a material adverse effect.

        Verra Mobility's success depends, in part, on Verra Mobility's ability to protect and defend Verra Mobility's intellectual property against infringement, misappropriation and dilution. To protect Verra Mobility's intellectual property rights, Verra Mobility relies on a combination of patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret and unfair competition laws of the United States and other countries, as well as contract provisions. Verra Mobility has registered certain patents and trademarks and has applications pending in the United States and foreign jurisdictions for some inventions and trademarks, including the trademark for the Verra Mobility name, for which Verra Mobility has applied, but not yet received. However, not all of the trademarks and inventions Verra Mobility currently uses have been registered in all of the countries in which Verra Mobility does business, and they may never be registered in all of those countries, and the applications Verra Mobility submits for these protections may not be approved. In addition, Verra Mobility makes efforts to acquire rights to intellectual property necessary for Verra Mobility's operations. There can be no assurance, however, that these measures will adequately protect Verra Mobility's rights in any given case, particularly in those countries where the laws do not protect proprietary rights as fully as in the U.S.

        If Verra Mobility fails to acquire necessary intellectual property rights or adequately protect or assert its intellectual property rights, competitors may manufacture and market similar products and services, or dilute Verra Mobility's brands, which could adversely affect Verra Mobility's market share. It may be possible for third parties to reverse engineer, otherwise obtain, copy, and use software or information that Verra Mobility regards as proprietary. In addition, Verra Mobility's competitors may avoid application of Verra Mobility's existing or future intellectual property rights. Further, patent rights, copyrights and contractual provisions may not prevent Verra Mobility's competitors from

75


Table of Contents

developing, using or selling products or services that are similar to or address the same market as Verra Mobility's products and services. In addition, some of Verra Mobility's trademarks and services are descriptive or include descriptive elements, which may make it difficult to enforce Verra Mobility's rights or prevent others from adopting and using similar marks. Competitive products and services could reduce the market value of Verra Mobility's brands and Verra Mobility's products and services, inhibit attracting new customers or maintaining existing customers, lower Verra Mobility's profits, and could have a material adverse effect on Verra Mobility's business, financial condition and results of operations.

        Although Verra Mobility has taken measures to monitor and protect Verra Mobility's intellectual property, Verra Mobility may not be able to maintain or enforce its patents, trademarks or other intellectual property rights. Unauthorized third parties may use Verra Mobility's trademarks and service marks, or marks that are similar thereto, to impinge on Verra Mobility's goodwill, cause consumer confusion or dilute Verra Mobility's rights in the marks. Verra Mobility is aware of products, software and marks similar to Verra Mobility's intellectual property being used by other persons. Although Verra Mobility believes such uses will not adversely affect Verra Mobility, further or currently unknown unauthorized uses or other infringement of Verra Mobility's trademarks or service marks could diminish the value of Verra Mobility's intellectual property and may adversely affect Verra Mobility's business. Even where Verra Mobility has effectively secured protection for Verra Mobility's intellectual property, Verra Mobility's competitors may challenge, infringe, misappropriate or dilute Verra Mobility's intellectual property and Verra Mobility's employees, consultants, contractors, customers and suppliers may breach their contractual obligations not to reveal Verra Mobility's confidential information, including trade secrets. Additionally, defending or enforcing Verra Mobility's intellectual property rights and agreements, and seeking an injunction and/or compensation for infringements or misappropriations, could result in expending significant resources and diverting management attention, which in turn may have a material adverse effect on Verra Mobility's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Verra Mobility has been and may become subject to third-party infringement claims or challenges to the validity of Verra Mobility's intellectual property that could have a material adverse effect.

        Verra Mobility has been and may, in the future, face claims for infringement, misappropriation or other violations of intellectual property rights from intellectual property owners in areas where Verra Mobility operates or intends to conduct operations, including in foreign jurisdictions. Such claims may or may not be unfounded. Regardless of whether such claims have merit, Verra Mobility's image, brands, competitive position and ability to expand its operations into other jurisdictions may be harmed and Verra Mobility may incur significant costs related to defense or settlement. If such claims were decided against Verra Mobility, or a third party indemnified by Verra Mobility pursuant to license terms, Verra Mobility could be required to pay damages, develop or adopt non-infringing products or services, or acquire a license to the intellectual property that is the subject of the asserted claim, which license may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. Defending or settling claims would require the expenditure of additional capital, and negative publicity could arise, even if the matter was ultimately decided in Verra Mobility's favor. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on Verra Mobility's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Growth into new territories and technologies may be hindered or blocked by pre-existing third-party rights.

        Verra Mobility acts to obtain and protect intellectual property rights to operate successfully in those territories where it operates and intends to expand. Certain intellectual property rights including rights in trademarks and patents are national in character, and are obtained on a country-by-country basis by the first person to obtain protection through use or registration in that country in connection with specified products and services. As Verra Mobility's business grows, it continuously evaluates the

76


Table of Contents

potential for expansion into new territories and new products and services. There is a risk with each expansion that growth will be limited or unavailable due to blocking pre-existing third-party intellectual property rights.

Verra Mobility depends on the services of key executives and any inability to attract and retain key management personnel could have a material adverse effect.

        Verra Mobility's future success depends upon the continued services of its executive officers, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who have critical experience and relationships that Verra Mobility relies on to implement its business plan and growth strategy. Additionally, as Verra Mobility's business grows, Verra Mobility may need to attract and hire additional management personnel. Verra Mobility has employment agreements with some members of senior management; however, Verra Mobility cannot prevent its executives from terminating their employment and competing with Verra Mobility following any departure. Moreover, Verra Mobility does not carry "key-man" life insurance on the lives of its executive officers, employees or advisors. Verra Mobility's ability to retain its key management personnel or to identify and attract additional management personnel or suitable replacements should any members of the management team leave or be terminated is dependent on a number of factors, including the competitive nature of the employment market and Verra Mobility's industry. Any failure to retain key management personnel or to attract additional or suitable replacement personnel could cause uncertainty among investors, employees, customers and others concerning Verra Mobility's future direction and performance and could have a material adverse effect on Verra Mobility's business, financial condition and results of operations.

A failure to attract and retain necessary skilled personnel and qualified subcontractors could have a material adverse effect.

        Verra Mobility's business depends on highly skilled technical, managerial, engineering, sales, marketing and customer support personnel and qualified and competent subcontractors. Competition for this personnel is intense, especially during times of low unemployment or economic recovery or growth. Any failure to attract, hire, assimilate in a timely manner and retain and motivate key qualified personnel, particularly software development, product development, analytics and other technical personnel, or inability to contract with qualified, competent subcontractors, could impair Verra Mobility's success. Further, Verra Mobility's recent acquisition activity could increase the challenge of retaining its key employees and subcontractors and those of the acquired businesses. The loss of any key technical employee or the termination of a key subcontractor relationship, and any inability to identify suitable replacements or offer reasonable terms to these candidates could have a material and adverse effect on Verra Mobility's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Litigation and other disputes and regulatory investigations could have a material adverse effect.

        From time to time, Verra Mobility may be involved in litigation and other disputes or regulatory investigations that arise in and outside the ordinary course of business. Verra Mobility expects that the number, frequency and significance of these matters may increase as its business expands and it grows as a company. Disputes and litigation may relate to, among other things, intellectual property, commercial arrangements, negligence and fiduciary duty claims, vicarious liability based upon conduct of individuals or entities outside of Verra Mobility's control, including its third-party service providers, antitrust claims, deceptive trade practices, general fraud claims and employment law claims, including compliance with wage and hour regulations. Like other companies that handle sensitive personal and payment information, Verra Mobility also faces the possibility of allegations regarding employee fraud or misconduct. In addition to more general litigation, at times Verra Mobility is also a named party in claims made against its customers, including putative class actions challenging the legality and constitutionality of automated photo enforcement and other similar programs of Verra Mobility's

77


Table of Contents

Government Solutions customers and consumer fraud claims brought against Verra Mobility's RAC customers alleging faulty disclosures regarding Verra Mobility's services. As a public company, in the future Verra Mobility may also be subject to securities class action and stockholder derivative lawsuits. From time to time, Verra Mobility may also be reviewed or investigated by U.S. federal state or local regulators or regulators in the foreign jurisdictions in which it operates regarding similar and other matters, including tax assessments. These investigations can be commenced at the initiative of the governmental authority or as a result of complaints by private citizens, regardless of whether the complaint has any merit. At times, Verra Mobility is also required to obtain proper licensing and permitting, including with respect to matters such as general contracting, performance of engineering services, performance of electrical work and performance of private investigative work. Although Verra Mobility carries general liability insurance coverage, Verra Mobility's insurance may not cover all potential claims to which Verra Mobility is exposed, whether as a result of a dispute, litigation or governmental investigation, and it may not adequately indemnify Verra Mobility for all liability that may be imposed.

        Any claims against Verra Mobility or investigation into Verra Mobility's business and activities, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in significant legal and other expenses, require significant amounts of management time and result in the diversion of significant operational resources. In addition, class action lawsuits can often be particularly burdensome given the breadth of claims, large potential damages and significant costs of defense. In the case of intellectual property litigation and proceedings, adverse outcomes could include the cancellation, invalidation or other loss of material intellectual property rights used in Verra Mobility's business and injunctions prohibiting Verra Mobility's use of business processes or technology that is subject to third-party patents or other third-party intellectual property rights. Legal or regulatory matters involving Verra Mobility's directors, officers or employees in their individual capacities can also create exposure for Verra Mobility because it may be obligated or may choose to indemnify the affected individuals against liabilities and expenses they incur in connection with such matters. Regulatory investigations, including with respect to proper licensing or permitting, can also lead to enforcement actions, fines and penalties, the loss of a license or permit or the assertion of private litigation claims. Risks associated with these liabilities are often difficult to assess or quantify and their existence and magnitude can remain unknown for significant periods of time, making the amount of any legal reserves related to these legal liabilities difficult to determine and, if a reserve is established, subject to future revision. Future results of operations could be adversely affected if any reserve that Verra Mobility may establish for a legal liability is increased or the underlying legal proceeding, investigation or other contingency is resolved for an amount in excess of established reserves. Because litigation and other disputes and regulatory investigations are inherently unpredictable, Verra Mobility cannot assure you that the results of any of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Verra Mobility's recent expansion into international markets through the acquisition of EPC exposes it to additional risks, and failure to manage those risks could have a material adverse effect.

        Verra Mobility did not have any history of conducting or overseeing international operations before Verra Mobility's April 2018 acquisition of EPC. The future success of Verra Mobility's business will depend, in part, on its ability to successfully manage these foreign operations. Because of Verra Mobility's limited experience with developing and managing relationships and sales and distribution channels in foreign markets, Verra Mobility's international efforts may not be successful. Verra Mobility's international operations also subject it to new risks that could increase expenses, restrict its ability to operate, result in lost revenues or otherwise materially and adversely affect its business, including:

    political, social, and economic instability, including the on-going impact of Great Britain's decision to exit the E.U. and European sovereign debt issues and tightening of government budgets;

78


Table of Contents

    wars, civil unrest, acts of terrorism and other conflicts;

    increased complexity and costs of managing or overseeing foreign operations, including adapting and localizing Verra Mobility's services to specific regions and countries and relying on different third-party service providers;

    local business and cultural factors and customs that may differ from Verra Mobility's normal standards and practices;

    complying with tariffs, trade restrictions, and trade agreements and any changes thereto;

    foreign exchange and other restrictions and limitations on the transfer or repatriation of funds;

    adverse tax consequences;

    fluctuations in currency exchange rates;

    complying with varying legal and regulatory environments in multiple foreign jurisdictions, including with respect to data privacy and payment processing, and unexpected changes in these laws, regulatory requirements, and the enforcement thereof; and

    limited protection of Verra Mobility's intellectual property and other assets as compared to the laws of the United States.

        Political instability and uncertainty in the E.U. and, in particular, Great Britain's recent decision to exit the E.U. has slowed economic growth and created significant economic disruption and uncertainty in the region, including with respect to whether other nations may follow suit in withdrawing from the E.U. These uncertainties could continue to discourage near-term economic activity, including decisions regarding the continued use of Verra Mobility's solutions or the willingness of European RACs or FMCs to adopt a Verra Mobility solution, until the terms and circumstances of Great Britain's exit and its impact on other countries of the E.U. are resolved. The final terms of the withdrawal could also impact EPC's ability to obtain information from VLAs that is necessary to its operations in certain parts of the E.U.

        Verra Mobility has limited or no control over these and other factors related to international operations and while Verra Mobility is continuing to adapt to and develop strategies to address these risks, there is no guarantee that Verra Mobility will correctly anticipate any problems that arise or be successful in expanding its solutions from the U.S. into new European markets. Any failure to successfully manage these and other similar risks could have a material adverse effect on Verra Mobility's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Verra Mobility's growth is dependent on successfully implementing its international expansion strategy.

        Verra Mobility's growth strategy includes expanding Verra Mobility's global footprint, which may involve moving into regions and countries beyond those in which Verra Mobility currently operates, and Verra Mobility's success will depend, in part, on Verra Mobility's ability to anticipate and effectively manage the risks related to this expansion. In order to achieve widespread acceptance in new markets Verra Mobility may enter, Verra Mobility may need to develop new products and services or tailor its existing products and services to that market's unique customs, cultures and standards. In many cases, Verra Mobility will have limited or no experience in the particular region or country and learning the customs and cultures, particularly with respect to consumer preferences, differing technology standards and language barriers, is a difficult task and Verra Mobility's failure to do so could slow its growth there. In many of these markets, long-standing relationships between potential customers and their local partners and protective regulations, including local content requirements and approvals, and disparate networks and systems used by each country will create barriers to entry. Difficulties in foreign financial markets and economies and of foreign financial institutions, particularly in emerging markets,

79


Table of Contents

could also adversely affect demand in the affected areas. For this strategy to be successful, Verra Mobility must generate sufficient revenues and margins from the new markets to offset the expense of the expansion. Moreover, as the scale of Verra Mobility's international operations increases, Verra Mobility will be more susceptible to the general risks related to its existing international operations discussed above. If Verra Mobility is unable to further expand internationally or if it is unable to effectively and efficiently manage the complexity of its expanded operations and compete in these new regions and countries, Verra Mobility's business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Risks Related to the Company and the Business Combination

Our Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination and the other proposals described in this proxy statement, regardless of how our public stockholders vote.

        Unlike many other blank check companies in which the founders agree to vote their Founder Shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the public stockholders in connection with an initial business combination, our Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote any shares of Common Stock owned by them in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals described in this proxy statement. As of the date hereof, our Initial Stockholders own shares equal to 20% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, it is more likely that the necessary stockholder approval will be received for the Business Combination than would be the case if our Initial Stockholders agreed to vote any shares of Common Stock owned by them in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by our public stockholders.

Our Sponsor, certain members of our Board and our officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or are in addition to other stockholders in recommending that stockholders vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal and approval of the other proposals described in this proxy statement.

        When considering our Board's recommendation that our stockholders vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, our stockholders should be aware that the directors and officers of the Company have interests in the Business Combination that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of our stockholders. These interests include:

    the fact that our Initial Stockholders have agreed not to redeem any of the Founder Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;

    the fact that our Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to conversion price adjustments with respect to any shares of our Common Stock they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination;

    the fact that our Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for 10,781,250 Founder Shares and (after giving effect to the cancellation of (i) 781,250 Founder Shares on February 27, 2017 and (ii) approximately 3,478,261 Founder Shares at the time of the Business Combination) the remaining 6,521,739 Founder Shares will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination, which if unrestricted and freely tradable would be valued at approximately $65,217,390 but, given the restrictions on such shares, we believe such shares have less value;

    the fact that our Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if we fail to complete an initial business combination by January 19, 2019;

    the fact that our Sponsor paid an aggregate of approximately $10,000,000 for its 6,666,666 Private Placement Warrants to purchase shares of Class A Stock and that such Private

80


Table of Contents

      Placement Warrants will expire worthless if a business combination is not consummated by January 19, 2019;

    the continued right of our Sponsor to hold our Class A Stock and the shares of Class A Stock to be issued to our Sponsor upon exercise of its Private Placement Warrants following the Business Combination, subject to certain lock-up periods;

    if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, our Sponsor has agreed to indemnify us to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.00 per public share, or such lesser per public share amount as is in the Trust Account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which we have entered into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party (other than our independent public accountants) for services rendered or products sold to us, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account;

    the anticipated continuation of two of our existing directors, Messrs. Randall Bort and Jeffrey Rea, as directors of the post-combination company;

    the continued indemnification of our existing directors and officers and the continuation of our directors' and officers' liability insurance after the Business Combination;

    the fact that our Sponsor, officers and directors will lose their entire investment in us and will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses if an initial business combination is not consummated by January 19, 2019;

    that, as described in the Charter Approval Proposal and reflected in Annex C, our proposed Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation will be amended to exclude The Gores Group and Platinum Equity and each of their successors, certain affiliates and each of their respective transferees as "interested parties" from the list of prohibited business combinations not in compliance with Section 203 of the DGCL;

    that, at the closing of the Business Combination we will enter into the Registration Rights Agreement with the Restricted Stockholders, which provides for registration rights to Restricted Stockholders and their permitted transferees;

    that certain employees and affiliates of our Sponsor have committed to purchase up to 4,203,795 shares of Class A Stock in the Private Placement for an aggregate commitment of approximately $38,674,914; and

    the fact that Alec Gores, our Chairman, is the brother of Tom Gores, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Platinum Equity, and that Tom Gores and certain employees and affiliates of Platinum Equity would participate in the Private Placement. Platinum Equity currently holds a controlling stake in Verra Mobility through the Platinum Stockholder, which will receive all of the cash consideration and a portion of the stock consideration to be paid in connection with the business combination. The Platinum Stockholder will retain approximately 34% of voting power in the post-combination company assuming no share redemptions and 47% of voting power assuming maximum share redemptions. The Platinum Stockholder will also have the right to nominate up to three directors to the post-closing company's board of directors, of whom one will initially be the current Chief Executive Officer of Verra Mobility as a Class II director and the other two will initially be representatives of the Platinum Stockholder as Class III directors. In addition, if one of the Platinum Stockholder's nominees is elected, one of the Platinum Stockholder's nominees will serve as the chairman of the board of directors and the Platinum Stockholder will have the right to appoint one representative to each committee of the board of the post-closing company. The Platinum Stockholder's right to nominate directors

81


Table of Contents

      to the post-closing company's board is subject to maintaining its ownership percentage of the total outstanding shares of Class A Stock at certain levels as discussed elsewhere in this proxy statement.

Our Initial Stockholders, including our Sponsor and our independent directors, hold a significant number of shares of our Common Stock. They will lose their entire investment in us if a business combination is not completed.

        Our Initial Stockholders hold in the aggregate 10,000,000 Founder Shares, representing 20% of the total outstanding shares upon completion of our IPO. The Founder Shares will be worthless if we do not complete a business combination by January 19, 2019. In addition, our Sponsor holds an aggregate of 6,666,666 Private Placement Warrants that will also be worthless if we do not complete a business combination by January 19, 2019.

        The Founder's Shares are identical to the shares of Class A Stock included in the units, except that (i) the Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, (ii) our Initial Stockholders, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed (a) to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and public shares owned in connection with the completion of our Business Combination, (b) waive their right to a conversion price adjustment with respect to any shares of our common stock they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination and (c) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if we fail to complete our Business Combination by January 19, 2019 (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if we fail to complete our Business Combination by January 19, 2019) and (iii) the Founder Shares are automatically convertible into shares of our Class A Stock at the time of our Business Combination, as described herein.

        The personal and financial interests of our officers and directors may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting Verra Mobility, completing a business combination with Verra Mobility and may influence their operation of the post-combination company following the Business Combination. This risk may become more acute as the deadline of January 19, 2019 for completing a business combination nears.

Our Sponsor, directors or officers or their affiliates may elect to purchase shares from public stockholders, which may influence a vote on a proposed Business Combination and the other proposals described in this proxy statement and reduce the public "float" of our Class A Stock.

        Our Sponsor, directors or officers or their affiliates may purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of our Business Combination, although they are under no obligation to do so. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such stockholder, although still the record holder of our shares is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that our Sponsor, directors, officers or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from public stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such purchases could be to vote such shares in favor of the Business Combination and thereby increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the Business Combination or to satisfy closing conditions in the Merger Agreement regarding required amounts in the Trust Account and the proceeds from the Private Placement equaling or exceeding certain thresholds where it appears that such requirements would otherwise not be met. This may result in the completion of our Business Combination that may not otherwise have been possible.

82


Table of Contents

        In addition, if such purchases are made, the public "float" of our Class A Stock and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to obtain or maintain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on the Nasdaq or another national securities exchange or reducing the liquidity of the trading market for our Class A Stock.

Our public stockholders will experience dilution as a consequence of, among other transactions, the issuance of Class A Stock as consideration in the Business Combination and the Private Placement. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that our current stockholders have on the management of the post-combination company.

        The issuance of the Class A Stock in the Business Combination and in the Private Placement will dilute the equity interest of our existing stockholders and may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our public shares and/or public warrants.

        It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Business Combination: (i) the Company's public stockholders (other than the Private Placement Investors) will retain an ownership interest of approximately 26% in the post-combination company; (ii) the Private Placement Investors will own approximately 28% of the post-combination company (such that public stockholders, including Private Placement Investors, will own approximately 54% of the post-combination company); (iii) our Initial Stockholders will own approximately 4% of the post-combination company, after giving effect to the cancellation of approximately 3,478,261 Founder Shares held by our Sponsor without giving effect to the expected distribution of Founder Shares to members of our Sponsor immediately prior to closing; and (iv) the Greenlight Stockholders will own approximately 42% of the post-combination company. These levels of ownership interest assume that no shares are elected to be redeemed. The Private Placement Investors have agreed to purchase in the aggregate approximately 43,478,261 shares of Class A Stock, for approximately $400,000,000 of gross proceeds, in the Private Placement. In this proxy statement, we assume that approximately $400,000,000 of the gross proceeds from the Private Placement, in addition to $400,000,000 of the funds from the Trust Account, will be used to fund the cash consideration payable pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the repayment of approximately $132,515,647 of Greenlight's existing indebtedness and the payment of certain transaction expenses. The ownership percentage with respect to the post-combination company following the Business Combination (a) does not take into account (1) warrants to purchase Class A Stock that will remain outstanding immediately following the Business Combination or (2) the issuance of any shares upon completion of the Business Combination under the Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement as Annex I, but (b) does include Founder Shares, which will be converted into shares of Class A Stock at the closing of the Business Combination on a one-for-one basis (after giving effect to the cancellation of approximately 3,478,261 of such shares and even though such shares of Class A Stock will be subject to transfer restrictions). If the actual facts are different than these assumptions (which they are likely to be), the percentage ownership retained by the Company's existing stockholders in the post-combination company will be different. For more information, please see the sections entitled "Summary of the Proxy Statement—Impact of the Business Combination on the Company's Public Float" and "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information."

There can be no assurance that our Class A Stock that will be issued in connection with the Business Combination will be approved for listing on Nasdaq or, if approved, will continue to be so listed following the closing of the Business Combination, or that we will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq.

        Our Class A Stock, public units and public warrants are currently listed on Nasdaq. Our continued eligibility for listing may depend on, among other things, the number of our shares that are redeemed. We intend to apply to continue the listing of our publicly-traded common stock and warrants on Nasdaq. If, after the Business Combination, Nasdaq delists our Class A Stock from trading on its

83


Table of Contents

exchange for failure to meet the listing standards, we and our stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences including:

    a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;

    reduced liquidity for our securities;

    a determination that our Class A Stock is a "penny stock" which will require brokers trading in our Class A Stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;

    a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

    a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

        The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as "covered securities." Because our Class A Stock, public units and public warrants are listed on Nasdaq, they are covered securities. Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of our securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. While we are not aware of a state, other than the State of Idaho, having used these powers to prohibit or restrict the sale of securities issued by blank check companies, certain state securities regulators view blank check companies unfavorably and might use these powers, or threaten to use these powers, to hinder the sale of securities of blank check companies in their states. Further, if we were no longer listed on Nasdaq, our securities would not be covered securities and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities.

Resales of the shares of Class A Stock included in the Stock Consideration could depress the market price of our Class A Stock.

        There may be a large number of shares of Class A Stock sold in the market following the completion of the Business Combination or shortly thereafter. The shares held by the Company's public stockholders will be freely tradeable, and the shares held by the Private Placement Investors other than certain employees and affiliates of our Sponsor will be freely tradeable following the registration of the resale thereof pursuant to a registration statement that we have agreed to file within 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination. Unless such registration statement is not declared effective, beginning at least six months after the completion of the Business Combination, the Restricted Stockholders will also be permitted to sell their shares of Class A Stock in transactions not requiring registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to a demand registration.

        We will have approximately 155,200,000 shares of Class A Stock outstanding immediately following the Business Combination.

        Such sales of shares of Class A Stock or the perception of such sales may depress the market price of our Class A Stock.

We have no operating history and are subject to a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution requirement. As such, there is a risk that we will be unable to continue as a going concern if we do not consummate an initial business combination by January 19, 2019. If we are unable to effect a business combination by January 19, 2019, we will be forced to liquidate and our warrants will expire worthless.

        We are a blank check company, and as we have no operating history and are subject to a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution requirement, there is a risk that we will be unable to continue as a going concern if we do not consummate an initial business combination by January 19, 2019. Unless we amend our current certificate of incorporation (which requires the affirmative vote of

84


Table of Contents

65% of all then outstanding shares of Class A Stock) and amend certain other agreements into which we have entered to extend the life of the Company, if we do not complete an initial business combination by January 19, 2019, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest not previously released to the Company to fund Regulatory Withdrawals and/or its franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders' rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per public unit in the IPO. In addition, if we fail to complete an initial business combination by January 19, 2019, there will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our public warrants or the Private Placement Warrants, which will expire worthless. We expect to consummate the Business Combination and do not intend to take any action to extend the life of the Company beyond January 19, 2019.

Even if we consummate the Business Combination, there is no guarantee that the public warrants will ever be in the money, and they may expire worthless and the terms of our warrants may be amended.

        The exercise price for our warrants is $11.50 per share of Class A Stock. There is no guarantee that the public warrants will ever be in the money prior to their expiration, and as such, the warrants may expire worthless.

Our ability to successfully effect the Business Combination and to be successful thereafter will be dependent upon the efforts of our key personnel, including the key personnel of Verra Mobility whom we expect to stay with the post-combination business following the Business Combination. The loss of key personnel could negatively impact the operations and profitability of our post-combination business and its financial condition could suffer as a result.

        Our ability to successfully effect our Business Combination is dependent upon the efforts of our key personnel, including the key personnel of Verra Mobility. Although some of our key personnel may remain with the post-combination business in senior management or advisory positions following our Business Combination, it is possible that we will lose some key personnel, the loss of which could negatively impact the operations and profitability of our post-combination business. We anticipate that some or all of the management of Verra Mobility will remain in place.

        Verra Mobility's success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of senior management, certain of whom would be difficult to replace. Departure by certain of Verra Mobility's officers could have a material adverse effect on Verra Mobility's business, financial condition, or operating results. Verra Mobility does not maintain key-man life insurance on any of its officers. The services of such personnel may not continue to be available to the post-combination business.

The Company and Verra Mobility will be subject to business uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the Business Combination is pending.

        Uncertainty about the effect of the Business Combination on employees and third parties may have an adverse effect on the Company and Verra Mobility. These uncertainties may impair our or Verra Mobility's ability to retain and motivate key personnel and could cause third parties that deal with any of us or them to defer entering into contracts or making other decisions or seek to change

existing business relationships. If key employees depart because of uncertainty about their future roles and the potential complexities of the Business Combination, our or Verra Mobility's business could be harmed.

We may waive one or more of the conditions to the Business Combination.

        We may agree to waive, in whole or in part, one or more of the conditions to our obligations to complete the Business Combination, to the extent permitted by our current certificate of incorporation and bylaws and applicable laws. For example, it is a condition to our obligations to close the Business Combination that there be an amount from the Trust Account and the proceeds of the Private Placement that equals or exceeds $550,000,000. However, if our Board determines that a failure to satisfy the condition is not material, then the Board may elect to waive that condition and close the Business Combination. We may not waive the condition that our stockholders approve the Business Combination. Please see the section entitled "Proposal No. 1—Approval of the Business Combination—The Merger Agreement—Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination" for additional information.

The exercise of discretion by our directors and officers in agreeing to changes to the terms of or waivers of closing conditions in the Merger Agreement may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Merger Agreement or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in the best interests of our stockholders.

        In the period leading up to the closing of the Business Combination, other events may occur that, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, would require the Company to agree to amend the Merger Agreement, to consent to certain actions or to waive rights that we are entitled to under those agreements. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of Verra Mobility's business, a request by Verra Mobility to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the Merger Agreement or the occurrence of other events that would have a material adverse effect on Verra Mobility's business and would entitle the Company to terminate the Merger Agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be in the discretion of the Company, acting through the Board, to grant its consent or waive its rights. The existence of the financial and personal interests of the directors described elsewhere in this proxy statement may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the directors between what he or she may believe is best for the Company and our stockholders and what he or she may believe is best for himself or herself or his or her affiliates in determining whether or not to take the requested action. As of the date of this proxy statement, we do not believe there will be any changes or waivers that our directors and officers would be likely to make after stockholder approval of the Business Combination has been obtained. While certain changes could be made without further stockholder approval, if there is a change to the terms of the Business Combination that would have a material impact on the stockholders, we will be required to circulate a new or amended proxy statement or supplement thereto and resolicit the vote of our stockholders with respect to the Business Combination Proposal.

We and Verra Mobility will incur significant transaction and transition costs in connection with the Business Combination.

        We and Verra Mobility have both incurred and expect to incur significant, non-recurring costs in connection with consummating the Business Combination and operating as a public company following the consummation of the Business Combination. We and Verra Mobility may also incur additional costs to retain key employees. All expenses incurred in connection with the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Business Combination), including all legal, accounting, consulting, investment banking and other fees, expenses and costs, will be for the account of the party incurring such fees, expenses and costs or paid by the Company following the closing of the Business Combination.

86


Table of Contents

        The Company's transaction expenses as a result of the Business Combination are currently estimated at approximately $25,000,000, including $14,000,000 in deferred underwriting commissions to the underwriter of our IPO. The amount of the deferred underwriting commissions will not be adjusted for any shares that are redeemed in connection with a business combination. The per-share amount we will distribute to stockholders who properly exercise their redemption rights will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions and after such redemptions, the per-share value of shares held by non-redeeming stockholders will reflect our obligation to pay the deferred underwriting commissions.

If we are unable to complete an initial business combination, our public stockholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per share on the liquidation of the Trust Account (or less than $10.00 per share in certain circumstances where a third party brings a claim against us that our Sponsor is unable to indemnify), and our warrants will expire worthless.

        If we are unable to complete an initial business combination by January 19, 2019, our public stockholders may receive only approximately $10.00 per share on the liquidation of the Trust Account (or less than $10.00 per share in certain circumstances where a third-party brings a claim against us that our Sponsor is unable to indemnify (as described herein)) and our warrants will expire worthless.

If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per-share redemption amount received by stockholders may be less than $10.00 per share.

        Our placing of funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third-party claims against us. Although we will seek to have all vendors, service providers (other than our independent auditors), prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any funds held in the Trust Account for the benefit of our public stockholders, such parties may not execute such agreements, or even if they execute such agreements they may not be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account, including, but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain advantage with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the funds held in the Trust Account, our management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third-party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third party's engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative.

        Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. Upon redemption of our public shares, if we are unable to complete our Business Combination within the prescribed timeframe, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with our Business Combination, we will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against us within the ten years following redemption. Accordingly, the per-share redemption amount received by public stockholders could be less than the $10.00 per share initially held in the Trust Account, due to claims of such creditors.

        Our Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a vendor (other than our independent public accountants) for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount

87


Table of Contents

per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under indemnity of the underwriter of our IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, our Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. We have not independently verified whether our Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that our Sponsor's only assets are securities of our Company. We have not asked our Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations. Therefore, we cannot assure you that our Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for our business combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.00 per public share. In such event, we may not be able to complete our business combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your public shares. None of our officers will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

Our directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of our Sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to our public stockholders.

        In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share or (ii) other than due to the failure to obtain a waiver to seek access to the Trust Account, such lesser amount per share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to fund our Regulatory Withdrawals and/or to pay our franchise and income tax obligations, and our Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so if, for example the cost of such legal action is deemed by the independent directors to be too high relative to the amount recoverable or if the independent directors determine a favorable outcome is unlikely. If our independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations, the amount of funds in our Trust Account available for distribution to our public stockholders may be reduced below $10.00 per share.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to our public stockholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of our stockholders and the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by our stockholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.

        If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to our public stockholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by our stockholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, our only significant asset will be our ownership interest in Verra Mobility and such ownership may not be sufficient to pay dividends or make distributions or loans to enable us to pay any dividends on our Common Stock or satisfy our other financial obligations.

        Following the consummation of the Business Combination, we will have no direct operations and no significant assets other than our ownership of Verra Mobility. We and certain investors, the Greenlight Stockholders, and directors and officers of Verra Mobility and its affiliates will become stockholders of the post-combination company at that time. We will depend on Verra Mobility for distributions, loans and other payments to generate the funds necessary to meet our financial obligations, including our expenses as a publicly traded company and to pay any dividends with respect to our Common Stock. The financial condition and operating requirements of Verra Mobility may limit our ability to obtain cash from Verra Mobility. The earnings from, or other available assets of, Verra Mobility may not be sufficient to pay dividends or make distributions or loans to enable us to pay any dividends on our Common Stock or satisfy our other financial obligations.

        The ability of Verra Mobility and its subsidiaries (other than subsidiaries which have been designated as unrestricted to the extent permitted under the terms of the Rollover Credit Agreements) to make distributions, loans and other payments to us for the purposes described above and for any other purpose will be governed by the terms of the Rollover Credit Agreements, and will be subject to the negative covenants set forth therein. Any loans or other extensions of credit to us from Verra Mobility and its subsidiaries (other than from subsidiaries which have been designated as unrestricted in accordance with the Rollover Credit Agreements) will be permitted only to the extent there is an applicable exception to the investment covenants under the Rollover Credit Agreements. The exceptions include,, among others, (i) a general investment basket equal to the greater of a fixed dollar amount and a percentage of consolidated total assets, (ii) in the case of the First Lien Term Loan Facility, (x) an unlimited investment basket, subject to the satisfaction of a maximum total net leverage ratio on a pro forma basis and (y) use of a customary "available amount" builder basket, which may be used for investments, dividends and distributions and certain other restricted payments of indebtedness, and is equal to the great of a fixed dollar amount and a percentage of consolidated total assets, plus cumulative retained excess cash flow and certain other amounts, less amounts previously expended in reliance on the "available amount" builder basket and (iii) in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility, an unlimited investment basket, subject to the absence of a continuing event of default and the satisfaction of customary "payment conditions" determined by reference to use of the available commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, as of the date of such investment on a pro forma basis and on an average basis for the 30-day period ending on the date of such investment. Similarly, any dividends, distributions or similar payments to us from Verra Mobility and its subsidiaries (other than from subsidiaries which have been designated as unrestricted in accordance with the Rollover Credit Agreements) will be permitted only to the extent there is an applicable exception to the dividends and distributions covenants under the Rollover Credit Agreements. These exceptions include, among others, (i) the ability to make tax distributions, subject to certain limitations, (ii) distributions to fund the payment of general corporate operating and overhead costs and expenses of parent companies, (iii) satisfying general basket for dividends and distributions equal to the greater of a fixed dollar amount and a percentage of consolidated total assets, (iv) in the case of the First Lien Term Loan Facility, (x) an unlimited basket for dividends and distributions, subject to the satisfaction of a maximum total net leverage ratio on a pro forma basis and (y) use of the "available amount" builder basket described above, subject, in the case of the use of the cumulative retained excess cash flow portion thereof, to the absence of a continuing event of default and satisfaction of a maximum total net leverage ratio on a pro forma basis and (v) in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility, an unlimited basket for dividends and distributions, subject to the absence of a continuing event of default and the satisfaction of customary "distribution conditions" determined by reference to use of the available commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, as of the date of such dividend or distribution on a

pro forma basis and on an average basis for the 30-day period ending on the date of such dividend or distribution.

We may be required to pay the Platinum Stockholder for a significant portion of the tax benefit relating to pre-Business Combination tax attributes of Verra Mobility.

        At the closing of the Business Combination, we will enter into the Tax Receivable Agreement, substantially in the form attached as Annex H to this proxy statement, with the Platinum Stockholder and the Stockholder Representative. The Tax Receivable Agreement will generally provide for the payment by the Company to the Platinum Stockholder of 50% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that the Company actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after the closing of the Business Combination as a result of the increase in the tax basis of the intangible assets of HTA resulting from the acquisition of HTA by Verra Mobility prior to the Business Combination. The Company generally will retain the benefit of the remaining 50% of these cash savings.

        Under certain circumstances (including an election by the Company, a material breach of the Company's obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement, or certain transactions constituting a change in control or divestiture of the HTA assets under the Tax Receivable Agreement), payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement may be required to be accelerated and paid entirely in a lump sum based on certain valuation assumptions, including that the Company and its subsidiaries will generate sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the applicable deductions generated by the intangible assets of HTA.

Subsequent to our completion of our Business Combination, we may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations and our stock price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

        Although we have conducted due diligence on Verra Mobility, we cannot assure you that this diligence will surface all material issues that may be present in Verra Mobility's business, that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence, or that factors outside of Verra Mobility's business and outside of our and Verra Mobility's control will not later arise. As a result of these factors, we may be forced to later write down or write off assets, restructure operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in losses. Even if our due diligence successfully identifies certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with our preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and not have an immediate impact on our liquidity, the fact that we report charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about the post-combination company or its securities. Accordingly, any of our stockholders who choose to remain stockholders following our Business Combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares. Such stockholders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value.

We have no operating or financial history and our results of operations and those of the post-combination company may differ significantly from the unaudited pro forma financial data included in this proxy statement.

        We are a blank check company and we have no operating history and no revenues. This proxy statement includes unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements for the post-combination company. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations of the post-combination company combines the historical audited results of operations of the Company for the period ended December 31, 2017 and the unaudited results of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2018, with the historical audited results of operations of Verra Mobility for the year

90


Table of Contents

ended December 31, 2017 and the unaudited results of Verra Mobility for the six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, and gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination and the acquisitions of HTA and EPC by Verra Mobility as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2017. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet of the post-combination company combines the historical balance sheets of the Company as of June 30, 2018 and of Verra Mobility as of June 30, 2018 and gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination and the acquisitions of HTA and EPC by Verra Mobility as if they had been consummated on June 30, 2018.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only, are based on certain assumptions, address a hypothetical situation and reflect limited historical financial data. Therefore, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations and financial position that would have been achieved had the Business Combination and the acquisitions by Verra Mobility been consummated on the dates indicated above, or the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the post-combination company. Accordingly, the post-combination company's business, assets, cash flows, results of operations and financial condition may differ significantly from those indicated by the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements included in this document. For more information, please see the section entitled "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information."

Unanticipated changes in effective tax rates or adverse outcomes resulting from examination of our income or other tax returns could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

        We will be subject to income taxes in the United States, and our domestic tax liabilities will be subject to the allocation of expenses in differing jurisdictions. Our future effective tax rates could be subject to volatility or adversely affected by a number of factors, including:

    changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities;

    expected timing and amount of the release of any tax valuation allowances;

    tax effects of stock-based compensation;

    costs related to intercompany restructurings;

    changes in tax laws, regulations or interpretations thereof; or

    lower than anticipated future earnings in jurisdictions where we have lower statutory tax rates and higher than anticipated future earnings in jurisdictions where we have higher statutory tax rates.

        In addition, we may be subject to audits of our income, sales and other transaction taxes by U.S. federal and state authorities. Outcomes from these audits could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

A market for our securities may not continue, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of our securities.

        Following the Business Combination, the price of our securities may fluctuate significantly due to the market's reaction to the Business Combination and general market and economic conditions. An active trading market for our securities following the Business Combination may never develop or, if developed, it may not be sustained. In addition, the price of our securities after the Business Combination can vary due to general economic conditions and forecasts, our general business condition and the release of our financial reports. Additionally, if our securities are not listed on, or become delisted from, Nasdaq for any reason, and are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or OTC Pink, an inter-dealer automated quotation system for equity securities that is not a national securities exchange,

91


Table of Contents

the liquidity and price of our securities may be more limited than if we were quoted or listed on Nasdaq or another national securities exchange. You may be unable to sell your securities unless a market can be established or sustained.

If the Business Combination's benefits do not meet the expectations of investors, stockholders or financial analysts, the market price of our securities may decline.

        If the benefits of the Business Combination do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of the Company's securities prior to the closing of the Business Combination may decline. The market values of our securities at the time of the Business Combination may vary significantly from their prices on the date the Merger Agreement was executed, the date of this proxy statement, or the date on which our stockholders vote on the Business Combination.

        In addition, following the Business Combination, fluctuations in the price of our securities could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment. Immediately prior to the Business Combination, there has not been a public market for Verra Mobility's stock and trading in the shares of our Class A Stock has not been active. Accordingly, the valuation ascribed to Verra Mobility and our Class A Stock in the Business Combination may not be indicative of the price of the post-combination company that will prevail in the trading market following the Business Combination. If an active market for our securities develops and continues, the trading price of our securities following the Business Combination could be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. Any of the factors listed below could have a material adverse effect on your investment in our securities and our securities may trade at prices significantly below the price you paid for them. In such circumstances, the trading price of our securities may not recover and may experience a further decline.

        Factors affecting the trading price of the post-combination company's securities following the Business Combination may include:

    actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to us;

    changes in the market's expectations about our operating results;

    the public's reaction to our press releases, our other public announcements and our filings with the SEC;

    speculation in the press or investment community;

    success of competitors;

    our operating results failing to meet the expectation of securities analysts or investors in a particular period;

    changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning the post-combination company or the market in general;

    operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to the post-combination company;

    our ability to market new and enhanced products on a timely basis;

    changes in laws and regulations affecting our business;

    commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving the post-combination company;

    changes in the post-combination company's capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;

92


Table of Contents

    the volume of shares of our Class A Stock available for public sale;

    any major change in our Board or management;

    sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock by our directors, officers or significant stockholders or the perception that such sales could occur;

    the realization of any of the risk factors presented in this proxy statement;

    additions or departures of key personnel;

    failure to comply with the requirements of Nasdaq;

    failure to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or other laws or regulations;

    actual, potential or perceived control, accounting or reporting problems;

    changes in accounting principles, policies and guidelines; and

    general economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations and acts of war or terrorism.

        Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our securities irrespective of our operating performance. The stock market in general and Nasdaq have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of our securities, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for the stocks of other companies which investors perceive to be similar to the post-combination company could depress our stock price regardless of our business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of our securities also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

        In the past, securities class action litigation has often been initiated against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management's attention and resources, and could also require us to make substantial payments to satisfy judgments or to settle litigation.

Past performance by The Gores Group, including our management team, may not be indicative of future performance of an investment in the Company.

        Information regarding performance by, or businesses associated with, The Gores Group and its affiliates is presented for informational purposes only. Past performance by The Gores Group and by our management team, including with respect to Gores Holdings, Inc. ("Gores Holdings I"), is not a guarantee either (i) of success with respect to any business combination we may consummate or (ii) that we will be able to locate a suitable candidate for our business combination. You should not rely on the historical record of The Gores Group's or our management team's or Gores Holdings I's performance as indicative of the future performance of an investment in the Company or the returns the Company will, or is likely to, generate going forward.

A significant portion of our total outstanding shares are restricted from immediate resale but may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of our Class A Stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.

        Sales of a substantial number of shares of Class A Stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our Class A Stock. After the Business Combination, our Initial Stockholders, including our Sponsor, as well as Platinum Equity and the other Greenlight

93


Table of Contents

Stockholders, will hold approximately 46% of our Class A Stock. In addition, at the closing of the Business Combination, the Company will enter into the Registration Rights Agreement, substantially in the form attached as Annex F to this proxy statement, with the Restricted Stockholders. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, (a) any outstanding share of Class A Stock or any other equity security (including the Private Placement Warrants and including shares of Class A Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of any other equity security) of the Company held by a Restricted Stockholder as of the date of the Registration Rights Agreement or thereafter acquired by a Restricted Stockholder (including the shares of Class A Stock issued upon conversion of the Class F Stock and upon exercise of any Private Placement Warrants) and shares of Class A Stock issued or issuable as Earn-Out Shares to the Platinum Stockholder and (b) any other equity security of the Company issued or issuable with respect to any such share of common stock by way of a stock dividend or stock split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other reorganization or otherwise will be entitled to registration rights. In addition, our Initial Stockholders entered into a letter agreement pursuant to which they agreed that, with certain limited exceptions, the Founder Shares (which will be converted into shares of Class A Stock at the closing of the Business Combination) may not be transferred until 180 days after the closing of the Business Combination. In addition, given that the lock-up period on the Founder Shares is potentially shorter than most other blank check companies, these shares may become registered and available for sale sooner than Founder Shares in such other companies.

Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly and could fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors due to seasonality and other factors, some of which are beyond our control, resulting in a decline in our stock price.

        Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly because of several factors, including:

    labor availability and costs for hourly and management personnel;

    profitability of our products, especially in new markets and due to seasonal fluctuations;

    changes in interest rates;

    impairment of long-lived assets;

    macroeconomic conditions, both nationally and locally;

    negative publicity relating to products we serve;

    changes in consumer preferences and competitive conditions;

    expansion to new markets; and

    fluctuations in commodity prices.

If, following the Business Combination, securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about the post-combination company, its business, or its market, or if they change their recommendations regarding our Class A Stock adversely, then the price and trading volume of our Class A Stock could decline.

        The trading market for our Class A Stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about us, our business, our market, or our competitors. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on the Company or the post-combination company. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of the post-combination company, our stock price and trading volume would likely be negatively impacted. If any of the analysts who may cover the post-combination company change their recommendation regarding our stock adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, the price of our Class A Stock would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover the Company were to cease coverage of the post-combination company or fail to regularly publish reports on it, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

We may be unable to obtain additional financing to fund the operations and growth of the post-combination company.

        We may require additional financing to fund the operations or growth of the post-combination company. The failure to secure additional financing could have a material adverse effect on the continued development or growth of the post-combination company. None of our officers, directors or stockholders is required to provide any financing to us in connection with or after our Business Combination.

Changes in laws, regulations or rules, or a failure to comply with any laws, regulations or rules, may adversely affect our business, investments and results of operations.

        We are subject to laws, regulations and rules enacted by national, regional and local governments and Nasdaq. In particular, we are required to comply with certain SEC, Nasdaq and other legal or regulatory requirements. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws, regulations and rules may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws, regulations or rules and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, investments and results of operations. In addition, a failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations or rules, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Platinum Equity will have significant influence over us after completion of the Business Combination.

        Upon completion of the Business Combination, Platinum Equity will beneficially own approximately 34% of our Class A Stock. As long as Platinum Equity owns or controls a significant percentage of our outstanding voting power, it will have the ability to significantly influence all corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, including the election and removal of directors and the size of our Board, any amendment to our certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or the approval of any merger or other significant corporate transaction, including a sale of substantially all of our assets. Platinum Equity's influence over the post-combination company's management could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control or otherwise discouraging a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of the post-combination company, which could cause the market price of our Class A Stock to decline or prevent stockholders from realizing a premium over the market price for Class A Stock. Because the amended certificate of incorporation will opt out of Section 203 of the DGCL regulating certain business combinations with interested stockholders, Platinum Equity may transfer shares to a third party by transferring their common stock without the approval of our board of directors or other stockholders, which may limit the price that investors are willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, the Platinum Stockholder will have the right to nominate up to three directors to the post-closing company's board of directors, of whom one will initially be the current Chief Executive Officer of Verra Mobility as a Class II director and the other two will initially be representatives of the Platinum Stockholder as Class III directors. In addition, if one the of the Platinum Stockholder's nominees is elected, one of the Platinum Stockholder's nominees will serve as the chairman of the board of directors and the Platinum Stockholder will have the right to appoint one representative to each committee of the board of the post-closing company. The Platinum Stockholder's right to nominate directors to the post-closing company's board is subject to its ownership percentage of the total outstanding shares of Class A Stock. If the Platinum Stockholder holds: (i) 25% or greater of the outstanding Class A Stock, it will have the right to appoint three directors; (ii) less than 25% but greater than or equal to 15% of the outstanding Class A Stock, it will have the right to appoint two directors; (iii) less than 15% but greater than or equal to 5% of the outstanding Class A Stock, it will have the right to appoint one director; and (iv) less than 5% of the outstanding Class A Stock, it will not have the right to nominate any directors.

        Platinum Equity's interests may not align with our interests as a company or the interests of our other stockholders. Accordingly, Platinum Equity could cause us to enter into transactions or agreements of which you would not approve or make decisions with which you would disagree. Further, Platinum Equity are in the business of making investments in companies and may acquire and hold interests in businesses that compete directly or indirectly with us. Platinum Equity may also pursue acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to our business, and, as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to us. In recognition that principals, members, directors, managers, partners, stockholders, officers, employees and other representatives of Platinum Equity and its affiliates and investment funds may serve as our directors or officers, our restated certificate of incorporation provides, among other things, that none of Platinum Equity or any principal, member, director, manager, partner, stockholder, officer, employee or other representative of Platinum Equity has any duty to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business that we do. In the event that any of these persons or entities acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for itself and us, we will not have any expectancy in such corporate opportunity, and these persons and entities will not have any duty to communicate or offer such corporate opportunity to us and may pursue or acquire such corporate opportunity for themselves or direct such opportunity to another person. These potential conflicts of interest could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations if, among other things, attractive corporate opportunities are allocated by Platinum Equity to themselves or their other affiliates.

We have not registered the shares of Class A Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants under the Securities Act or any state securities laws at this time, and such registration may not be in place when an investor desires to exercise warrants, thus precluding such investor from being able to exercise its warrants except on a cashless basis and potentially causing such warrants to expire worthless.

        We have not registered the shares of Class A Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants under the Securities Act or any state securities laws at this time. However, under the terms of the warrant agreement, we have agreed to use our best efforts to file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such shares and maintain a current prospectus relating to the Class A Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. We cannot assure you that we will be able to do so if, for example, any facts or events arise which represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in such registration statement or prospectus, the financial statements contained or incorporated by reference therein are not current or correct or the SEC issues a stop order. If the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants are not registered under the Securities Act, holders have the right to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis for unregistered shares of Class A Stock in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. However, no such warrant will be exercisable and we will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder or an exemption from state registration is available. Notwithstanding the above, if our Class A Stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a "covered security" under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, we may, at our option, require holders of warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a "cashless basis" in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event we so elect, we will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but we will be required to use our best efforts to register the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. In no event will we be required to settle any warrant, or issue securities or other compensation in exchange for the warrants in the event that we are unable to register or qualify the shares underlying the warrants under applicable state securities laws and there is no exemption available. If the issuance of the shares upon exercise of the warrants is not so registered or qualified or

96


Table of Contents

exempt from registration or qualification, the holder of such warrant shall not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In such event, holders who acquired their warrants as part of a purchase of units will have paid the full unit purchase price solely for the shares of Class A Stock included in the units. If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying shares of Class A Stock for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

The exercise price for our warrants is higher than in many similar blank check company offerings in the past, and, accordingly, the warrants are more likely to expire worthless.

        The exercise price of our warrants is higher than is typical with many similar blank check companies in the past. Historically, with regard to units offered by blank check companies, the exercise price of a warrant was generally a fraction of the purchase price of the units in the initial public offering. The exercise price for our warrants is $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as provided herein. As a result, the warrants are less likely to ever be in the money and more likely to expire worthless.

We may amend the terms of the warrants in a manner that may be adverse to holders with the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then-outstanding public warrants. As a result, the exercise price of your warrants could be increased, the exercise period could be shortened and the number of shares of our Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of a warrant could be decreased, all without your approval.

        Our warrants were issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and us. The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then-outstanding public warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders. Accordingly, we may amend the terms of the warrants in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 50% of the then-outstanding public warrants approve of such amendment. Although our ability to amend the terms of the warrants with the consent of at least 50% of the then-outstanding public warrants is unlimited, examples of such amendments could be amendments to, among other things, increase the exercise price of the warrants, shorten the exercise period or decrease the number of shares of Class A Stock purchasable upon exercise of a warrant.

We may redeem unexpired warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to warrant holders, thereby making their warrants worthless.

        We have the ability to redeem outstanding warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per warrant, provided that the last reported sales price of our Class A Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which we give proper notice of such redemption to the warrant holders and provided certain other conditions are met. If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. Redemption of the outstanding warrants could force the warrant holders (i) to exercise their warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for them to do so, (ii) to sell their warrants at the then-current market price when they might otherwise wish to hold their warrants or (iii) to accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of their warrants. None of the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by us so long as they are held by our Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

Because each unit contains one-third of one warrant and only a whole warrant may be exercised, the units may be worth less than units of other blank check companies.

        Each unit contains one-third of one warrant. Because, pursuant to the warrant agreement, the warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares, only a whole warrant may be exercised at any given time. This is different from other offerings similar to ours whose units include one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one whole share. We have established the components of the units in this way in order to reduce the dilutive effect of the warrants upon completion of a business combination since the warrants will be exercisable in the aggregate for one-third of the number of shares compared to units that each contain a warrant to purchase one whole share, thus making us, we believe, a more attractive merger partner for target businesses. Nevertheless, this unit structure may cause our units to be worth less than if they included a warrant to purchase one whole share.

Warrants will become exercisable for our Class A Stock, which would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to our stockholders.

        We issued warrants to purchase 13,333,333 shares of Class A Stock as part of our IPO and, on the IPO closing date, we issued Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor to purchase 6,666,666 shares of our Class A Stock, in each case at $11.50 per share. In addition, prior to consummating an initial business combination, nothing prevents us from issuing additional securities in a private placement so long as they do not participate in any manner in the Trust Account or vote as a class with the Common Stock on a business combination. We expect to issue approximately 43,478,261 shares of our Class A Stock to the Private Placement Investors in the Private Placement upon consummation of the Business Combination. The shares of Class A Stock issued in the Private Placement and additional shares of our Class A Stock issued upon exercise of our warrants will result in dilution to the then existing holders of Class A Stock of the Company and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market could adversely affect the market price of our Class A Stock.

        The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants sold as part of the units issued in our IPO except that, so long as they are held by our Sponsor or its permitted transferees, (i) they will not be redeemable by us, (ii) they (including the Class A Stock issuable upon exercise of these warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by our Sponsor until 30 days after the completion of an initial business combination, (iii) they may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis and (iv) are subject to registration rights.

Our stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against us to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption of their shares.

        Under the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. The pro rata portion of the Trust Account distributed to our public stockholders upon the redemption of our public shares in the event we do not complete an initial business combination by January 19, 2019 may be considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law. If a corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder's pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. However, it is our intention to redeem our public shares as soon as reasonably possible following January 19, 2019 in the

98


Table of Contents

event we do not complete an initial business combination and, therefore, we do not intend to comply with the foregoing procedures.

        Because we will not be complying with Section 280 of the DGCL, Section 281(b) of the DGCL requires us to adopt a plan, based on facts known to us at such time that will provide for our payment of all existing and pending claims or claims that may be potentially brought against us within the ten years following our dissolution. However, because we are a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and our operations are limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from our vendors (such as lawyers, investment bankers, etc.) or prospective target businesses. If our plan of distribution complies with Section 281(b) of the DGCL, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder's pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would likely be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution. We cannot assure you that we will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against us. As such, our stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of our stockholders may extend beyond the third anniversary of such date. Furthermore, if the pro rata portion of our Trust Account distributed to our public stockholders upon the redemption of our public shares in the event we do not complete an initial business combination by January 19, 2019 is not considered a liquidating distribution under Delaware law and such redemption distribution is deemed to be unlawful, then pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, the statute of limitations for claims of creditors could then be six years after the unlawful redemption distribution, instead of three years, as in the case of a liquidating distribution.

If, after we distribute the proceeds in the Trust Account to our public stockholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy court may seek to recover such proceeds, and we and our Board may be exposed to claims of punitive damages.

        If, after we distribute the proceeds in the Trust Account to our public stockholders, we file a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a "preferential transfer" or a "fraudulent conveyance." As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover all amounts received by our stockholders. In addition, our Board may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors and/or having acted in bad faith, thereby exposing itself and us to claims of punitive damages, by paying public stockholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors.

Anti-takeover provisions contained in our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could impair a takeover attempt.

        Assuming the passage of Proposal Nos. 1 through 3 of this proxy statement, the post-combination company's Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation will contain provisions that may discourage unsolicited takeover proposals that stockholders may consider to be in their best interests. We are also subject to anti-takeover provisions under Delaware law, which could delay or prevent a change of control. Together, these provisions may make more difficult the removal of management and may discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for our securities. These provisions will include:

    no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates;

    a classified board of directors with three-year staggered terms, which could delay the ability of stockholders to change the membership of a majority of the Board;

    the requirement that directors may only be removed from the Board for cause;

99


Table of Contents

    the right of our Board to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of our Board or the resignation, death or removal of a director in certain circumstances, which prevents stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on our Board;

    a prohibition on stockholder action by written consent, which forces stockholder action to be taken at an annual or special meeting of our stockholders;

    a prohibition on stockholders calling a special meeting and the requirement that a meeting of stockholders may only be called by members of our Board, which may delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors;

    the requirement that changes or amendments to certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws must be approved by holders of at least two-thirds of the Common Stock of the post-combination company; and

    advance notice procedures that stockholders must comply with in order to nominate candidates to our Board or to propose matters to be acted upon at a meeting of stockholders, which may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer's own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company.

Our bylaws include a forum selection clause.

        Subject to certain limitations, our bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner) to bring: (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees or our stockholders; (c) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the our certificate of incorporation or bylaws; or (d) any action asserting a claims governed by the internal affairs doctrine. In addition, our bylaws provide that unless consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the federal securities laws of the United States against us, our officers, directors, employees and/or underwriters.

The JOBS Act permits "emerging growth companies" like us to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

        We qualify as an "emerging growth company" as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, which we refer to as the "JOBS Act." As such, we take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies for as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, including (i) the exemption from the auditor attestation requirements with respect to internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("SOX"), (ii) the exemptions from say-on-pay, say-on-frequency and say-on-golden parachute voting requirements and (iii) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements. As a result, our stockholders may not have access to certain information they deem important. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following January 19, 2022, the fifth anniversary of our IPO, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our Class A Stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our prior second fiscal quarter, and (ii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive if we choose to rely on these

100


Table of Contents

exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result of any choices to reduce future disclosure, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and the price of our common stock may be more volatile. Verra Mobility had net revenues during calendar year 2017 of approximately $232.1 million, but this amount does not include any revenues from HTA or EPC. If the post-combination company continues to expand its business through acquisitions and/or continues to grow revenues organically post-Business Combination, we may cease to be an emerging growth company prior to January 19, 2022.

        In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the exemption from complying with new or revised accounting standards provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act as long as we are an emerging growth company. An emerging growth company can therefore delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected to avail ourselves of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company that is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company that has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

        We cannot predict if investors will find our Class A Stock less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our Class A Stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Class A Stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

Our internal controls over financial reporting may not be effective and our independent registered public accounting firm may not be able to certify as to their effectiveness, which could have a significant and adverse effect on our business and reputation.

        As a public company, we are required to comply with the SEC's rules implementing Sections 302 and 404 of SOX, which require management to certify financial and other information in our quarterly and annual reports and provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. To comply with the requirements of being a public company, the post-combination company will be required to provide attestation on internal controls commencing with the annual report for fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, and we may need to undertake various actions, such as implementing additional internal controls and procedures and hiring additional accounting or internal audit staff. The standards required for a public company under Section 404 of SOX are significantly more stringent than those required of Verra Mobility as a privately-held company. Further, as an emerging growth company, our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 until the date we are no longer an emerging growth company. At such time, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event that it is not satisfied with the level at which the controls of the post-combination company are documented, designed or operating.

        Testing and maintaining these controls can divert our management's attention from other matters that are important to the operation of our business. If we identify material weaknesses in the internal control over financial reporting of the post-combination company or are unable to comply with the requirements of Section 404 or assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting when we no longer qualify as an emerging

growth company, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of our common stock could be negatively affected, and we could become subject to investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources.

Risks Related to Verra Mobility's Debt

Verra Mobility's substantial level of indebtedness could adversely affect it and prevent it from making dividends and distributions and payments on its other debt obligations (if any).

        Verra Mobility has a substantial amount of debt. Following completion of the Business Combination, it is expected that Verra Mobility will have approximately $906 million of indebtedness, consisting of amounts outstanding under the First Lien Term Loan Facility. Verra Mobility's substantial level of indebtedness could have important consequences. For example, it could:

    make it more difficult for Verra Mobility to satisfy its obligations;

    increase Verra Mobility's vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions;

    limit Verra Mobility's ability to obtain additional financing for future working capital, capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions and other general corporate requirements;

    expose Verra Mobility to interest rate fluctuations because the interest on certain of its debt is variable;

    require Verra Mobility to dedicate a substantial portion of its cash flow from operations to payments on its debt, thereby reducing the availability of its cash flow for operations and other purposes;

    make it more difficult for Verra Mobility to satisfy its obligations to its lenders, resulting in possible defaults on and acceleration of such indebtedness;

    limit Verra Mobility's ability to refinance indebtedness or increase the associated costs;

    require Verra Mobility to sell assets to reduce debt or influence its decision about whether to do so;

    limit Verra Mobility's flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in its business and the industry in which it operates or prevent Verra Mobility from carrying out capital spending that is necessary or important to its growth strategy and efforts to improve operating margins; and

    place Verra Mobility at a competitive disadvantage compared to any competitors that have less debt or comparable debt at more favorable interest rates and that, as a result, may be better positioned to withstand economic downturns.

        In addition, the agreements governing Verra Mobility's indebtedness contain restrictive covenants that will limit Verra Mobility and its subsidiaries' ability to engage in activities that may be in their long-term best interests.

Despite substantial levels of indebtedness, Verra Mobility has the ability to incur substantially more indebtedness, which could further intensify the risks described above.

        Verra Mobility may be able to incur substantial additional debt in the future. The terms of Verra Mobility's existing indebtedness do not fully prohibit Verra Mobility from so incurring substantial additional debt as they each permit additional borrowings. Depending on borrowing availability, Verra Mobility has the ability to draw up to $75.0 million of commitments under its revolving credit facility, which includes an option for an uncommitted accordion to increase commitments by up to $50.0 million, all of which will be secured. Verra Mobility also has the ability to draw upon the

102


Table of Contents

uncommitted accordion provided under the First Lien Term Loan Facility of up to $200.0 million, inclusive of any amounts so borrowed in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, plus the sum of all voluntary prepayments of the first lien term loan facility and certain permitted indebtedness, plus an unlimited amount subject to the satisfaction of a maximum total net leverage ratio or minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, in each case, on a pro forma basis, all of which will be secured. If new debt is added to Verra Mobility's current debt levels, the related risks that Verra Mobility now faces could intensify.

Restrictive covenants in the agreements governing Verra Mobility's indebtedness could restrict its operating flexibility.

        The agreements governing Verra Mobility's indebtedness limit Verra Mobility's ability to take certain actions. These restrictions may limit Verra Mobility's ability to operate its businesses, prohibit or limit its ability to enhance its operations or take advantage of potential business opportunities as they arise and cause Verra Mobility to take actions that are not favorable to stockholders.

        The agreements governing Verra Mobility's indebtedness restrict, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, Verra Mobility's and its restricted subsidiaries' ability to:

    incur additional indebtedness;

    pay dividends or other payments on capital stock;

        Under its first lien term loan facility, Verra Mobility could be required to make periodic prepayments based on excess cash flow (as defined by the first term loan facility) thereby limiting the amount of cash flow that can be reinvested in its business. In addition, under its revolving credit facility, if availability goes below a certain threshold, Verra Mobility will be required to comply with a minimum "consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio" financial covenant as calculated therein. Moreover, if availability were to fall below a certain threshold for a specified number of business days, Verra Mobility could be required to remit its cash funds to a dominion account maintained by the administrative agent to the revolving credit facility, which would then require daily review and approval of operating disbursements by the administrative agent.

        Verra Mobility's ability to comply with the covenants and restrictions contained in agreements governing its indebtedness may be affected by economic conditions and by financial, market and competitive factors, many of which are beyond Verra Mobility's control. Its ability to comply with these

103


Table of Contents

covenants in future periods will also depend substantially on the pricing and sales volume of its products, its success at implementing cost reduction initiatives and its ability to successfully implement its overall business strategy. The breach of any of these covenants or restrictions could result in a default under one or more of the agreements governing Verra Mobility's indebtedness that would permit the applicable lenders to declare all amounts outstanding thereunder to be due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest. In that case, Verra Mobility may be unable to borrow under its revolving credit agreement or otherwise, may not be able to repay the amounts due under the agreements governing its indebtedness, and may not be able make cash available by dividend, debt repayment or otherwise. In addition, Verra Mobility's lenders could proceed against the collateral securing that indebtedness. Any of the foregoing could have serious consequences to Verra Mobility's financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows and could cause it to become bankrupt or insolvent.

The agreements governing Verra Mobility's indebtedness contain cross default or cross acceleration provisions that may cause all of the debt issued under those instruments to become immediately due and payable because of a default under an unrelated debt instrument.

        The agreements governing Verra Mobility's indebtedness contain numerous covenants, and require it, if availability goes below a certain threshold, to comply with a minimum "consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio" financial covenant as calculated in the revolving credit agreement. Verra Mobility's failure to comply with the obligations contained in these agreements or other instruments governing its indebtedness could result in an event of default under the applicable instrument, which could result in the related debt and the debt issued under other instruments (together with accrued and unpaid interest and other fees) becoming immediately due and payable. In such event, Verra Mobility would need to raise funds from alternative sources, which funds may not be available to us on favorable terms, on a timely basis or at all. Alternatively, such a default could require Verra Mobility to sell assets and otherwise curtail its operations in order to pay its creditors. These alternative measures could have a material adverse effect on Verra Mobility's business, financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.

If Verra Mobility does not generate sufficient cash flows, it may not be able to service all of its indebtedness.

        To service its indebtedness, Verra Mobility will require a significant amount of cash. Verra Mobility's ability to generate cash, make scheduled payments or to refinance its debt obligations depends on Verra Mobility's successful financial and operating performance, which will be affected by a range of economic, competitive and business factors, many of which are outside of its control.

        If Verra Mobility's cash flow and capital resources are insufficient to fund its debt service obligations, to repay indebtedness when it matures, Verra Mobility may have to undertake alternative financing plans, such as refinancing or restructuring its debt, selling assets or operations, reducing or delaying capital investments or seeking to raise additional capital. Verra Mobility may not be able to refinance its debt and any refinancing of its debt could be at higher interest rates and may require it to comply with more restrictive covenants that could further restrict its business operations and its ability to make cash available for dividends and distributions and payments on its other debt obligations (if any). Verra Mobility's ability to implement successfully any such alternative financing plans will be dependent on a range of factors, including general economic conditions, the level of activity in mergers and acquisitions and capital markets generally, and the terms of its various debt instruments then in effect. In addition, a significant portion of Verra Mobility's outstanding indebtedness is secured by substantially all of its assets including its subsidiaries' assets, and any successor credit facilities are likely to be secured on a similar basis. As such, Verra Mobility's ability to seek additional financing or its ability to make cash available for dividends and distributions and payments on its other debt obligations (if any) could be impaired as a result of such security interests and the agreements governing such

104


Table of Contents

security interests. Moreover, as a result of these security interests, the underlying assets would only be available to satisfy claims of Verra Mobility's general creditors or holders of its equity securities if it were to become insolvent to the extent the value of such assets exceeded the amount of its indebtedness and other obligations.

        Verra Mobility's inability to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy its debt obligations or to refinance its obligations on commercially reasonable terms could have a material adverse effect on its business, including its financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to the Redemption

We do not have a specified maximum redemption threshold. The absence of such a redemption threshold may make it possible for us to complete a Business Combination with which a substantial majority of our stockholders do not agree.

        Our current certificate of incorporation does not provide a specified maximum redemption threshold, except that we will not redeem our public shares in an amount that would result in the Company's failure to have net tangible assets in excess of $5,000,000 (such that we are not subject to the SEC's "penny stock" rules). However, the Merger Agreement provides that our obligation to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on the amount in the Trust Account and the proceeds from the Private Placement equaling or exceeding $550,000,000, and the obligation of Greenlight to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on the amount of the Trust Account and the proceeds from the Private Placement equaling or exceeding $600,000,000. As a result, we may be able to complete our Business Combination even though a substantial portion of our public stockholders do not agree with the transaction and have redeemed their shares or have entered into privately negotiated agreements to sell their shares to our Sponsor, directors or officers or their affiliates. As of the date of this proxy statement, no agreements with respect to the private purchase of public shares by the Company or the persons described above have been entered into with any such investor or holder. We will file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC to disclose private arrangements entered into or significant private purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the Business Combination Proposal or other proposals (as described in this proxy statement) at the Special Meeting.

        In the event the aggregate cash consideration we would be required to pay for all shares of Class A Stock that are validly submitted for redemption plus any amount required to satisfy cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement exceeds the aggregate amount of cash available to us, we may not complete the Business Combination or redeem any shares, all shares of Class A Stock submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof, and we instead may search for an alternate business combination.

        Based on the amount of $404,611,945 in our Trust Account as of June 30, 2018, and taking into account the anticipated gross proceeds of approximately $400,000,000 from the Private Placement, approximately 20,000,000 shares of Class A Stock may be redeemed and still enable us to have sufficient cash to satisfy the cash closing conditions in the Merger Agreement. We refer to this as the maximum redemption scenario.

If you or a "group" of stockholders of which you are a part are deemed to hold an aggregate of more than twenty percent (20%) of our Class A Stock issued in the IPO, you (or, if a member of such a group, all of the members of such group in the aggregate) will lose the ability to redeem all such shares in excess of 20% of our Class A Stock issued in the IPO.

        A public stockholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate his, her or its shares or, if part of such a group, the group's

105


Table of Contents

shares, in excess of 20% of the shares of Class A Stock included in the units sold in our IPO. In order to determine whether a stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with another stockholder, the Company will require each public stockholder seeking to exercise redemption rights to certify to the Company whether such stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with any other stockholder. Such certifications, together with other public information relating to stock ownership available to the Company at that time, such as Section 13D, Section 13G and Section 16 filings under the Exchange Act, will be the sole basis on which the Company makes the above-referenced determination. Your inability to redeem any such excess shares will reduce your influence over our ability to consummate the Business Combination and you could suffer a material loss on your investment in us if you sell such excess shares in open market transactions. Additionally, you will not receive redemption distributions with respect to such excess shares if we consummate the Business Combination. As a result, you will continue to hold that number of shares aggregating to more than 20% of the shares sold in our IPO and, in order to dispose of such excess shares, would be required to sell your stock in open market transactions, potentially at a loss. We cannot assure you that the value of such excess shares will appreciate over time following the Business Combination or that the market price of our Class A Stock will exceed the per-share redemption price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, stockholders may challenge the Company's determination as to whether a stockholder is acting in concert or as a group with another stockholder in a court of competent jurisdiction.

        However, our stockholders' ability to vote all of their shares (including such excess shares) for or against the Business Combination is not restricted by this limitation on redemption.

There is no guarantee that a stockholder's decision whether to redeem its shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account will put the stockholder in a better future economic position.

        We can give no assurance as to the price at which a stockholder may be able to sell its public shares in the future following the completion of the Business Combination or any alternative business combination. Certain events following the consummation of any initial business combination, including the Business Combination, may cause an increase in our share price, and may result in a lower value realized now than a stockholder of the Company might realize in the future had the stockholder not redeemed its shares. Similarly, if a stockholder does not redeem its shares, the stockholder will bear the risk of ownership of the public shares after the consummation of any initial business combination, and there can be no assurance that a stockholder can sell its shares in the future for a greater amount than the redemption price set forth in this proxy statement. A stockholder should consult the stockholder's own tax and/or financial advisor for assistance on how this may affect his, her or its individual situation.

Stockholders of the Company who wish to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account must comply with specific requirements for redemption that may make it more difficult for them to exercise their redemption rights prior to the deadline. If stockholders fail to comply with the redemption requirements specified in this proxy statement, they will not be entitled to redeem their shares of our Class A Stock for a pro rata portion of the funds held in our Trust Account.

        Public stockholders who wish to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account must, among other things (i) submit a request in writing and (ii) tender their certificates to our Transfer Agent or deliver their shares to the Transfer Agent electronically through the DWAC system at least two business days prior to the Special Meeting. In order to obtain a physical stock certificate, a stockholder's broker and/or clearing broker, DTC and our Transfer Agent will need to act to facilitate this request. It is our understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the Transfer Agent. However, because we do not have any control over this process or over the brokers, which we refer to as "DTC," it may take significantly longer than two weeks to obtain a physical stock certificate. If it takes longer than anticipated to obtain a physical

106


Table of Contents

certificate, stockholders who wish to redeem their shares may be unable to obtain physical certificates by the deadline for exercising their redemption rights and thus will be unable to redeem their shares.

        Stockholders electing to redeem their shares will receive their pro rata portion of the Trust Account less Regulatory Withdrawals and franchise and income taxes payable, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the Business Combination. Please see the section entitled "Special Meeting in Lieu of 2018 Annual Meeting of Company Stockholders—Redemption Rights" for additional information on how to exercise your redemption rights.

If a stockholder fails to receive notice of our offer to redeem our public shares in connection with our Business Combination, or fails to comply with the procedures for tendering its shares, such shares may not be redeemed.

        If, despite our compliance with the proxy rules, a stockholder fails to receive our proxy materials, such stockholder may not become aware of the opportunity to redeem its shares. In addition, the proxy materials that we are furnishing to holders of our public shares in connection with our Business Combination describes the various procedures that must be complied with in order to validly redeem public shares. In the event that a stockholder fails to comply with these procedures, its shares may not be redeemed.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(NO REDEMPTION SCENARIO)

        The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2018 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the six months ended June 30, 2018 present the historical financial statements of the Company and Verra Mobility, adjusted to reflect the Business Combination. The Company and Verra Mobility shall collectively be referred to herein as the "Companies." The Companies, subsequent to the Business Combination, shall be referred to herein as the "Combined Company."

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 give pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had occurred on January 1, 2017. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2018 assumes that the Business Combination was completed on June 30, 2018.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 was derived from Verra Mobility's audited consolidated statement of operations for the periods from January 1, 2017 to May 31, 2017 (Predecessor) and June 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 (Successor) and the Company's audited statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and statement of operations as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 were derived from Verra Mobility's unaudited condensed financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and the Company's condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Historical information for Verra Mobility incorporates certain adjustments and estimates relating to the acquisition of HTA on March 1, 2018, the acquisition of EPC on April 6, 2018 and the related refinancing as well as the Platinum Merger on May 31, 2017. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 give pro forma effect to the acquisitions of HTA, EPC and the Platinum Merger as if they had occurred on January 1, 2017. Because the acquisitions of HTA and EPC were consummated prior to June 30, 2018 and the business combinations are reflected in Verra Mobility's historical unaudited condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2018, there is no additional impact related to these transactions to be reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet presented herein.

        On June 21, 2018, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement with Greenlight. After giving effect to the Business Combination, the Company will own, directly or indirectly, all of the assets of Greenlight and its subsidiaries and the Greenlight Stockholders will hold a portion of the Company's Class A Stock. The pro forma condensed combined information contained herein assumes the Company's stockholders approve the proposed Business Combination. The Company's stockholders may elect to redeem their shares of Class A Stock even if they approve the proposed Business Combination. The Company cannot predict how many of its public stockholders will elect to convert their shares of Class A Stock to cash. As a result, the Company has elected to provide pro forma condensed combined financial statements under two different assumptions which produce different allocations of total Company equity between holders of Common Stock. The actual results will be within the scenarios described below, however, there can be no assurance regarding which scenario will be closest to the actual results. Under both scenarios, Verra Mobility is considered the accounting acquirer, as further discussed in Note 1 of the "Notes to The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information."

        The following pro forma condensed combined financial statements assume that no shares of Class A Stock are redeemed such that the remaining funds held in the Trust Account after the payment of the redeeming shares' pro-rata allocation along with the proceeds from Private Placement are sufficient to fund the minimum cash consideration to be paid to the Greenlight Stockholders under the terms of the Merger Agreement.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(NO REDEMPTION SCENARIO)

NOTE 1—DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION

        On June 21, 2018, the Company, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub, Greenlight and the Stockholder Representative entered into the Merger Agreement, which provides for, among other things, (i) the merger of First Merger Sub with and into Greenlight, with Greenlight continuing as the surviving corporation (the "First Merger") and (ii) immediately following the First Merger and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, the merger of Greenlight with and into Second Merger Sub with Second Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity (the "Second Merger" and, together with the First Merger, the "Mergers" and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the "Business Combination"). As a result of the First Merger, the Company will own 100% of the outstanding common stock of Greenlight and each share of common stock of Greenlight will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a portion of the closing consideration. Following the closing of the Business Combination, the Company will own, directly or indirectly, all of the assets of Greenlight and its subsidiaries and the Greenlight Stockholders will hold a portion of the Class A Stock. Assuming a pro forma Business Combination date of June 30, 2018, for consideration, the Greenlight Stockholders will receive $642 million ("Cash Consideration"), ownership interests in the Combined Company valued at $670 million based on a stock price of $10.28 per share (as of August 17, 2018) and a cash contribution to Verra Mobility to pay down existing debt by $133 million.

        The equity issued to the Greenlight Stockholders as consideration for the Business Combination will ultimately be recognized by the Combined Company based on the market trading price on the day of the closing of the Business Combination. Potential differences between the assumed stock price used for the pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and the market trading price on the day of the closing of the Business Combination will directly impact the value of the ownership interest issued to the Greenlight Stockholders. For example, if the market trading price is $11.31 (10% higher than the assumed stock price), ownership interests issued to the Greenlight Stockholders as consideration for the Business Combination will be $737 million. If the market trading price is $9.25 (10% lower than the assumed stock price), ownership interests issued to the Greenlight Stockholders as consideration for the Business Combination will be $603 million.

        As part of the Business Combination, and concurrent with executing the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into Subscription Agreements pursuant to which the Private Placement Investors have agreed to acquire an additional 43.5 million shares of Class A Stock for gross proceeds of approximately $400 million. The $400 million of gross proceeds from the sale of the Class A Stock is included in the Cash Consideration. The remainder of the Cash Consideration will be provided by the funds held in the Trust Account.

NOTE 2—BASIS OF THE PRO FORMA PRESENTATION

        The Business Combination will be accounted for as a business combination under the scope of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations, or ASC 805. The Company is the legal acquirer under the terms of the Merger Agreement. The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse merger in accordance with ASC 805. Under this method of accounting, the Company will be treated as the "acquired" company

NOTE 2—BASIS OF THE PRO FORMA PRESENTATION (Continued)

for financial reporting purposes. Pursuant to ASC 805, Verra Mobility has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on the evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:

    the Greenlight Stockholders retain approximately 42.0% of the equity and voting rights after the Business Combination; and

    the ongoing senior management of the Company will be entirely comprised of Verra Mobility employees.

        Consideration was given to the noncontrolling ownership position of the Sponsor after the Business Combination. Further, the planned initial composition of the Board was considered. The planned initial composition of the Board includes Mr. David Roberts, the CEO of Verra Mobility, however, six other directors will be on the Board, including two directors appointed by Platinum Equity, and four additional independent directors, two of which are currently independent board members of the Company (Mr. Randy Bort and Mr. Jeff Rea) as well as two additional independent directors. However, the large noncontrolling ownership position and composition of the Board were given less weight than the other factors described above. The most significant determinative factor considered was the voting rights of the Greenlight Stockholders relative to the other shareholders and the fact that management of Verra Mobility will continue to manage the company upon completion of the merger.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the six months ended June 30, 2018 give pro forma effect to the Business Combination and the transactions described in the Verra Mobility Historical Information in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operation at the end of Note 3 as if they had occurred on January 1, 2017. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2018 assumes that the Business Combination was completed on June 30, 2018. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are based on the historical consolidated financial statements of the Companies and related adjustments.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies or cost savings that may be associated with the Business Combination.

        The pro forma adjustments are based on the information currently available. The assumptions and estimates underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes. In accordance with ASC 805, any subsequent changes to the allocation of consideration transferred that result in material changes to the consolidated financial statements during the measurement period will be adjusted.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations would have been had the Business Combination taken place on the date indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations of the Combined Company. They should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Companies.

        Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Company will adopt Verra Mobility's accounting policies. Verra Mobility may identify differences between the accounting policies among the

Companies, but we do not believe they will have a significant impact on the financial statements of the combined Company.

NOTE 3—PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Business Combination as well as the transactions described in the Verra Mobility Historical Information in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operation at the end of Note 3 and has been prepared for informational purposes only. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations would have been had the Business Combination taken place on the date indicated, nor is it indicative of the future consolidated results of operations of the Combined Company. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based upon the historical consolidated financial statements of the Companies and should be read in conjunction with their historical financial statements.

        The historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the Business Combination, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the results of the Combined Company.

        There were no significant intercompany balances or transactions between the Companies as of the dates and for the periods of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

        The pro forma condensed combined provision for income taxes does not necessarily reflect the amounts that would have resulted had the Companies filed consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented.

        The pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are based upon the number of the Company's shares outstanding, assuming the Business Combination occurred on January 1, 2017.

    136,516 (3)(4)

Payment to Selling Equityholders

    642,484 (5)

Payment to redeeming Company stockholders

    (6)

Payment of Company expenses

    25,000 (7)

Cash outflow from Business Combination

    804,000  

Net pro forma cash flow

  $ 612  

(1)
Represents the issuance of 43.5 million shares of Class A Stock through the Private Placement at a par value of $0.0001 per share and an assumed fair value of $9.20 per share.

(2)
Represents the reclassification of cash equivalents held in the Trust Account to reflect that the cash equivalents are available to effectuate the Business Combination or to pay redeeming Company stockholders.

(3)
On July 24, 2018, Verra Mobility amended its New First Lien Term Loan (the "New First Lien Term Loan Amendment") to expand the aggregate principal loan amount under the New First Lien Term Loan from $840 million to $910 million and to modify certain defined terms. The additional $70 million will be used to pay down a portion of the Second Lien Loan to the new First Lien Loan.

(4)
Reflects the cash prepayment of Verra Mobility Second Lien Term Loan under the terms of the Merger Agreement and the additional 2% prepayment penalty paid to the lender. No modifications to the terms of Verra Mobility's remaining long term debt will occur as part of the Business Combination. The pro forma paydown of debt of $132.5 million is calculated using the projected net debt balance of Verra Mobility anticipated on the date of the Business Combination. Proceeds received by the Greenlight Stockholders from the Business Combination will be used to pay down the remaining portion of the Second Lien Loan after the pay down noted in (3) above.

(5)
Reflects the net cash consideration paid to or on behalf of the Greenlight Stockholders. See Note (j) which follows for payments to be made on behalf of the Greenlight stockholders. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, this amount will be contingent upon, amongst other items, the amount of funds from the Trust Account that will be used to pay redeeming Company stockholders.

(6)
Reflects no redemptions of Company stock and no cash payments to redeeming Company shareholders.

NOTE 3—PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS (Continued)

(7)
Represents the payment of estimated acquisition-related transaction costs. In accordance with ASC 805, acquisition-related transaction costs and related charges are not included as a component of consideration to be transferred but are required to be expensed as incurred. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet reflects these costs as a reduction of cash with a corresponding decrease in retained earnings. These costs are not included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations as they are directly related to the Business Combination and will be nonrecurring.
(b)
Represents the relief of restrictions on the investments and cash held in the Trust Account upon consummation of the Business Combination.

(c)
Represents funds from the Business Combination used to prepay the Verra Mobility Second Lien Term Loan and pay a 2% prepayment penalty to the lender under the terms of the Merger Agreement using a projected net debt balance of approximately $984.5 million on the date of the Business Combination and a post-Business Combination net debt balance of approximately $852.0 million. The table below shows the prepayment and related penalty (dollars in thousands):

Total debt payment

  $ (136,516 )

Prepayment penalty

    4,000  

Reduction of long-term debt—Principal

    (132,516 )

Accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs

    12,492  

Reduction of long-term debt

  $ (120,024 )

    The related tax benefits of $4.29 million have been reflected as an increase to income tax receivable and the after tax impact presented as an increase to retained earnings.

    Because the prepayment penalty and accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs will not have an ongoing impact to the statement of operations, there are no corresponding adjustments to the pro forma condensed combined statement of operations.

(d)
Represents the payment of underwriting costs incurred as part of the Company's IPO committed to be paid upon the consummation of a business combination.

(e)
Represents a Tax Receivable Agreement payable to the Greenlight Stockholders based on the tax basis of certain intangibles assets related to Verra Mobility's acquisition of HTA. Under the terms of the Tax Receivable Agreement, the Greenlight Stockholders are entitled to 50% of the future tax benefits resulting from the increase in the tax basis of the underlying intangibles as a result of the acquisition of HTA. The amount of expected future payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement are dependent upon the existing tax basis of the Verra Mobility entities at the time an exchange is effectuated as well as the Company's cash tax savings rate in the years in which the Company utilizes tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement. The total pro forma adjustment is $73 million.

    The Company used schedules of the tax basis of the underlying intangible assets provided by Verra Mobility management and current enacted tax rates in calculating the Tax Receivable Agreement liability. To the extent that changes in future tax law occur, adjustments to the Tax Receivable Agreement liability will be made as appropriate.

NOTE 3—PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS (Continued)

    Future payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement could constitute related party transactions that would be disclosed in the Company's future financial statements.

    The Tax Receivable Agreement provides that (i) in the event that the Company materially breaches the Tax Receivable Agreement, (ii) if, at any time, the Company elects an early termination of the Tax Receivable Agreement, or (iii) upon certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations or other changes of control, the Company's obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement (with respect to all units of Verra Mobility, whether or not any units of Verra Mobility have been exchanged or acquired before or after such transaction) would accelerate and become payable in a lump sum amount. The lump sum amount would be equal to the present value of the anticipated future tax benefits calculated based on certain assumptions, including that the Company would have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the deductions arising from the tax deductions, tax basis and other tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement.

    As a result of the foregoing, (i) the Company could be required to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement that are greater than or less than the specified percentage of the actual tax savings the Company realizes in respect of the tax attributes subject to the agreements and (ii) the Company may be required to make an immediate lump sum payment equal to the present value of the anticipated future tax savings, which payment may be made years in advance of the actual realization of such future benefits, if any of such benefits are ever realized.

(l)
Following the Closing of the Business Combination, and as additional consideration for the Mergers and the other Transactions, within five Business Days after the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Parent shall issue to each Cash Consideration Stockholder (at the Pro Rata Cash Share) the following shares of Parent Class A Stock (adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combination, exchange of shares or other like change or transaction with respect to Parent Class A Stock occurring on or after the Closing ("Earn-Out Shares"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and the other Related Agreements.

    The Earn-Out Shares will be issued by the Company to the Platinum Stockholder as follows: (i) a one-time issuance of 2,500,000 shares if the Common Share Price is greater than $13.00; (ii) a one-time issuance of 2,500,000 shares if the Common Share Price is greater than $15.50; (iii) a one-time issuance of 2,500,000 shares if the Common Share Price is greater than $18.00; and (iv) a

(NO REDEMPTION SCENARIO) (Continued)

NOTE 3—PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS (Continued)

    one-time issuance of 2,500,000 shares if the Common Share Price is greater than $20.50. If any of the Common Share Price thresholds described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) are not achieved within the five-year period following the closing of the Mergers, the Company will not be required to issue the Earn-Out Shares in respect of such Common Share Price threshold.

    For the avoidance of doubt, the Cash Consideration Stockholders shall be entitled to receive Earn-Out Shares upon the occurrence of each Triggering Event; provided, however, that each Triggering Event shall only occur once, if at all, and in no event shall the Cash Consideration Stockholders be entitled to receive more than an aggregate of 10,000,000 Earn-Out Shares. Because this is a reverse acquisition, contingent shares issued to the stockholders of the accounting acquirer should be included in earnings per share from the date of issuance.

    If, during the Earn Out Period, there is a Change of Control that will result in the holders of Parent Class A Stock receiving a per share price equal to or in excess of the applicable Common Share Price required in connection with any Triggering Event (an "Acceleration Event"), then immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control: (a) any such Triggering Event that has not previously occurred shall be deemed to have occurred; and (b) Parent shall issue the applicable Earn-Out Shares to the Cash Consideration Stockholders (in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Cash Share), and the recipients of the issued Earn-Out Shares shall be eligible to participate in such Change of Control.

    The Company has estimated the fair value of the contingently issuable shares to be $67.625 million. This is initially recorded as a distribution to shareholders and is presented as contingently issuable shares. Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event, any issuable shares would be transferred from contingently issuable shares to Common Stock and additional paid in capital. Any contingently issuable shares not issued as a result of a Triggering Event not being attained by the end of Earn-out Period will be cancelled.

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations

    (o)
    Federal and state income taxes are recorded using combined federal and state statutory rates of 26% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 40% for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Verra Mobility Historical Information in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operation

        On May 31, 2017, Verra Mobility, formerly known as ATS Consolidated Inc. ("ATS") was acquired by Platinum Equity (the "Platinum Merger"). Pursuant to the Merger, a new basis of accounting at fair value was established and the new stepped-up basis was pushed down by to Verra Mobility. Historical information is presented in distinct periods to indicate the application of two different bases of accounting between the periods presented. The period January 1, through May 31, 2017 has been labeled "Predecessor" and has been prepared using the historical basis of accounting of the Predecessor. The period from June 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 has been labeled "Successor".

        On March 1, 2018, Verra Mobility acquired 100% of HTA (the "HTA Merger") and on April 6, 2018, Verra Mobility acquired 100% of Euro Parking Collection plc ("EPC"). In connection with the HTA Merger, Verra Mobility entered into a First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement, a Second Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement and a Revolving Credit Facility Agreement with a syndicate of lenders (collectively, the "2018 Credit Facilities"). The 2018 Credit Facilities provide for committed senior secured financing of $1.115 billion. The 2018 Credit Facilities replaced Verra Mobility's prior credit facilities (the "2017 Credit Facilities").

        The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations give effect to the HTA Merger and the Platinum Merger and the replacement of the 2017 Credit Facilities with the 2018 Credit Facilities as if they had occurred on January 1, 2017.

        Management has evaluated the differences between IFRS and U.S. GAAP as applicable to EPC and has identified one item related to customer unidentified and over payments that would not be considered revenue under US GAAP. Those amounts are being adjusted to other income (expense). The EPC historical financial results utilized for the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and for the year ended December 31, 2017 have been converted from British Pounds into U.S. dollars using the historical average exchange rates for each period.

Verra Mobility recognizes revenues from tolling and violations services in the Commercial Services segment on a net basis. All of HTA's revenues are related to tolling and violations products. The adjustment above is to reclassify the HTA cost of revenues as a reduction of revenues consistent with the accounting policy at Verra Mobility.

(1b)
Prior to the HTA Merger, HTA capitalized payments made to a tolling services customer to extend the existing contract. This amount was capitalized and amortized over the term of the contract as a reduction of revenue. As a result of the HTA Merger, and the resultant purchase price allocation, the contract inducement was subsumed into the larger customer relationship intangible asset recorded for this and other HTA customers. This adjustment reflects the removal of those costs.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(MAXIMUM REDEMPTION SCENARIO)

        The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2018 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the six months ended June 30, 2018 present the historical financial statements of the Company and Verra Mobility, adjusted to reflect the Business Combination. The Company and Verra Mobility shall collectively be referred to herein as the "Companies." The Companies, subsequent to the Business Combination, shall be referred to herein as the "Combined Company."

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 and for the six months ended give pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had occurred on January 1, 2017. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2018 assumes that the Business Combination was completed on June 30, 2018.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 was derived from Verra Mobility's audited consolidated statement of operations for the periods from January 1, 2017 to May 31, 2017 (predecessor) and June 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 (Successor) and the Company's audited statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and statement of operations as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 were derived from Verra Mobility's unaudited condensed combined financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and the Company's condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Historical information for Verra Mobility incorporates certain adjustments and estimates relating to the acquisition of HTA on March 1, 2018, the acquisition of EPC on April 6, 2018 and the related refinancing as well as the Platinum Merger on May 31, 2017. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 and for the six months ended June 30, 2018 give pro forma effect to the acquisitions of HTA, EPC and the Platinum Merger as if they had occurred on January 1, 2017. Because the acquisitions of HTA and EPC were consummated prior to June 30, 2018 and the business combinations are reflected in Verra Mobility's historical unaudited condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2018 there is no additional impact related to these transactions to be reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet presented herein.

        On June 21, 2018, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement with Greenlight. After giving effect to the Business Combination, the Company will own, directly or indirectly, all of the assets of Greenlight and its subsidiaries and the Greenlight Stockholders will hold a portion of the Class A Stock. The pro forma condensed combined information contained herein assumes the Company's stockholders approve the proposed Business Combination. The Company's stockholders may elect to redeem their shares of Class A Stock even if they approve the proposed Business Combination. The Company cannot predict how many of its public stockholders will elect to convert their shares of Class A Stock to cash. As a result, the Company has elected to provide condensed combined pro forma financial statements under two different assumptions which produce different allocations of total Company equity between holders of Common Stock. The actual results will be within the maximum redemption scenario described below, however, there can be no assurance regarding which scenario will be closest to the actual results. Under both scenarios, Verra Mobility is considered the accounting acquirer, as further discussed in Note 1 of the "Notes to The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information."

        Based on the amount of $404,611,945 in our Trust Account as of June 30, 2018, and taking into account the anticipated gross proceeds of approximately $400,000,000 from the Private Placement, approximately 20,000,000 shares of Class A Stock may be redeemed and still enable us to have

126


Table of Contents

sufficient cash to satisfy the cash closing conditions in the Merger Agreement. We refer to this as the maximum redemption scenario.

        The following pro forma condensed combined financial statements assume that the maximum number of shares of Class A Stock are redeemed such that the remaining funds held in the Trust Account after the payment of the redeeming shares' pro-rata allocation along with the proceeds from Private Placement are sufficient to fund the minimum cash consideration to be paid to the Greenlight Stockholders under the terms of the Merger Agreement.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED
FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(MAXIMUM REDEMPTION SCENARIO)

NOTE 1—DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION

        On June 21, 2018, the Company, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub, Greenlight and the Stockholder Representative entered into the Merger Agreement, which provides for, among other things, (i) the merger of First Merger Sub with and into Greenlight, with Greenlight continuing as the surviving corporation (the "First Merger") and (ii) immediately following the First Merger and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, the merger of Greenlight with and into Second Merger Sub with Second Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity (the "Second Merger" and, together with the First Merger, the "Mergers" and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the "Business Combination"). As a result of the First Merger, the Company will own 100% of the outstanding common stock of Greenlight and each share of common stock of Greenlight will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a portion of the consideration. Following the closing of the Business Combination, the Company will own, directly or indirectly, all of the assets of Greenlight and its subsidiaries and the Greenlight Stockholders will hold a portion of the Class A Stock. Assuming a pro forma Business Combination date of June 30, 2018, for consideration, the Greenlight Stockholders will receive $442 million ("Cash Consideration"), ownership interests in the Combined Company valued at $876 million based on a stock price of $10.28 per share (as of August 17, 2018) and a cash contribution to Verra Mobility to pay down existing debt by $133 million.

        The equity issued to the Greenlight Stockholders as consideration for the Business Combination will ultimately be recognized by the Combined Company based on the market trading price on the day of the closing of the Business Combination. Potential differences between the assumed stock price used for the pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and the market trading price on the day of the closing of the Business Combination will directly impact the value of the ownership interest issued to the Greenlight Stockholders. For example, if the market trading price is $11.31 (10% higher than the assumed stock price), ownership interests issued to the Greenlight Stockholders as consideration for the Business Combination will be $964 million. If the market trading price is $9.25 (10% lower than the assumed stock price), ownership interests issued to the Greenlight Stockholders as consideration for the Business Combination will be $788 million.

        As part of the Business Combination, and concurrent with executing the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into Subscription Agreements pursuant to which the Private Placement Investors have agreed to acquire an additional 43.5 million shares of Company's Class A Stock for gross proceeds of approximately $400 million. The $400 million of gross proceeds of the Company's Class A Stock is included in the Cash Consideration. The remainder of the Cash Consideration will be provided by the Company's trust account.

NOTE 2—BASIS OF THE PRO FORMA PRESENTATION

        The Business Combination will be accounted for as a business combination under the scope of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations, or ASC 805. The Company is the legal acquirer under the terms of the Merger Agreement. However the Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse merger in accordance with ASC 805. Under this method of accounting, the Company will be treated as the "acquired" company for financial reporting purposes. Pursuant to ASC 805, Verra Mobility has been

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED
FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued)

(MAXIMUM REDEMPTION SCENARIO)

NOTE 2—BASIS OF THE PRO FORMA PRESENTATION (Continued)

determined to be the accounting acquirer based on the evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:

    the Greenlight Stockholders retain approximately 54.9% of the equity and voting rights after the Business Combination; and

    the ongoing senior management of the Company will be entirely comprised of Verra Mobility employees.

        A preponderance of the evidence discussed above supports the conclusion that Verra Mobility is the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Verra Mobility issuing stock for the net assets of the Company, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of the Company will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

        Accordingly, there are no pro forma adjustments for depreciation and amortization expense on the statements of operation. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of Verra Mobility.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the six months ended June 30, 2018 give pro forma effect to the Business Combination and the transactions described in the Verra Mobility historical information in the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operation at the end of Note 3 as if they had occurred on January 1, 2017. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2018 assumes that the Business Combination was completed on June 30, 2018. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are based on the historical consolidated financial statements of the Companies and related adjustments.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies or cost savings that may be associated with the Business Combination.

        The pro forma adjustments are based on the information currently available. The assumptions and estimates underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes. In accordance with ASC 805, any subsequent changes to the allocation of consideration transferred that result in material changes to the consolidated financial statements during the measurement period will be adjusted.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations would have been had the Business Combination taken place on the date indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations of the Combined Company. They should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Companies.

        Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Company will adopt Verra Mobility's accounting policies. Verra Mobility may identify differences between the accounting policies among the Companies, but we do not believe they will have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Combined Company.

NOTE 3—PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Business Combination as well as the transactions described in the Verra Mobility Historical Information in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operation at the end of Note 3 and has been prepared for informational purposes only. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations would have been had the Business Combination taken place on the date indicated, nor is it indicative of the future consolidated results of operations of the Combined Company. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based upon the historical consolidated financial statements of the Companies and should be read in conjunction with their historical financial statements.

        The historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the Business Combination, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the results of the Combined Company.

        There were no significant intercompany balances or transactions between the Companies as of the dates and for the periods of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

        The pro forma condensed combined consolidated provision for income taxes does not necessarily reflect the amounts that would have resulted had the Companies filed consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented.

        The pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statements of operations are based upon the number of the Company's shares outstanding, assuming the Business Combination occurred on January 1, 2017.

NOTE 3—PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS (Continued)

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet

(a)
Reflects the net adjustment to cash associated with the Private Placement and Business Combination (dollars in thousands):

Cash inflow from Private Placement

  $ 400,000 (1)

Cash inflow from Company's Trust Account

    404,612 (2)

Cash inflow from Business Combination

    804,612  

Paydown of Verra Mobility Second Lien Term Loan (long-term debt)

    136,516 (3)(4)

Payment to Selling Equityholders

    442,484 (5)

Payment to redeeming Company stockholders

    200,000 (6)

Payment of Company expenses

    25,000 (7)

Cash outflow from Business Combination

    804,000  

Net pro forma cash flow

  $ 612  

(1)
Represents the issuance of 43.5 million shares of Class A Stock through the Private Placement at a par value of $0.0001 per share and an assumed fair value of $9.20 per share.

(2)
Represents the reclassification of cash equivalents held in the Trust Account to reflect that the cash equivalents are available to effectuate the Business Combination or to pay redeeming Company stockholders.

(3)
On July 24, 2018, Verra Mobility amended its New First Lien Term Loan (the "New First Lien Term Loan Amendment") to expand the aggregate principal loan amount under the New First Lien Term Loan from $840 million to $910 million and to modify certain defined terms. The additional $70 million will be used to pay down a portion of the Second Lien Loan to the new First Lien Loan.

(4)
Reflects the cash prepayment of Verra Mobility Second Lien Term Loan under the terms of the Merger Agreement and the additional 2% prepayment penalty paid to the lender. No modifications to the terms of Verra Mobility's remaining long term debt will occur as part of the Business Combination. The pro forma paydown of debt of $132.5 million is calculated using the projected net debt balance of Verra Mobility anticipated on the date of the Business Combination. Proceeds received by the Greenlight Stockholders from the Business Combination will be used to pay down the remaining portion of the Second Lien Loan after the pay down noted in (3) above.

(5)
Reflects the net cash consideration paid to or on behalf of the Greenlight Stockholders. See Note (j) which follows for payments to be made on behalf of the Greenlight Stockholders. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, this amount will be contingent upon, amongst other items, the amount of funds from the Trust Account that will be used to pay redeeming Company stockholders.

134

(MAXIMUM REDEMPTION SCENARIO)

NOTE 3—PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS (Continued)

(6)
Reflects the maximum payment that could be made to redeeming Company stockholders which would leave sufficient cash to fund minimum required cash consideration payable to the Greenlight Stockholders under the terms of the Merger Agreement.

(7)
Represents the payment of estimated acquisition-related transaction costs. In accordance with ASC 805, acquisition-related transaction costs and related charges are not included as a component of consideration to be transferred but are required to be expensed as incurred. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet reflects these costs as a reduction of cash with a corresponding decrease in retained earnings. These costs are not included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations as they are directly related to the Business Combination and will be nonrecurring.
(b)
Represents the relief of restrictions on the investments and cash held in the Trust Account upon consummation of the Business Combination.

(c)
Represents funds from the Business Combination used to prepay the Verra Mobility Second Lien Term Loan and pay a 2% prepayment penalty to the lender under the terms of the Merger Agreement using a projected net debt balance of approximately $984.5 million on the date of the Business Combination and a post-Business Combination net debt balance of approximately $852.0 million. The table below shows the prepayment and related penalty (dollars in thousands):

Total debt payment

  $ (136,516 )

Prepayment penalty

    4,000  

Reduction of long-term debt—Principal

    (132,516 )

Accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs

    12,492  

Reduction of long-term debt

  $ (120,024 )

    The related tax benefits of $4.29 million have been reflected as an increase to income tax receivable and the after tax impact presented as an increase to retained earnings.

    Because the prepayment penalty and accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs will not have an ongoing impact to the statement of operations, there are no corresponding adjustments to the pro forma condensed combined statement of operations.

(d)
Represents the payment of underwriting costs incurred as part of the Company's IPO committed to be paid upon the consummation of a business combination.

(e)
Represents a Tax Receivable Agreement payable to the Greenlight Stockholders based on the tax basis of certain intangibles assets related to Verra Mobility's acquisition of HTA. Under the terms of the Tax Receivable Agreement, the Greenlight Stockholders are entitled to 50% of the future tax benefits resulting from the increase in the tax basis of the underlying intangibles as a result of the acquisition of HTA. The amount of expected future payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement are dependent upon the existing tax basis of the Verra Mobility entities at the time an exchange is effectuated as well as the Company's cash tax savings rate in the years in which the Company utilizes tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement. The total pro forma adjustment is $73 million.

    The Company used schedules of the tax basis of the underlying intangible assets provided by Verra Mobility management and current enacted tax rates in calculating the Tax Receivable Agreement liability. To the extent that changes in future tax law occur, adjustments to the Tax Receivable Agreement liability will be made as appropriate.

    Future payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement could constitute related party transactions that would be disclosed in the Company's future financial statements.

    The Tax Receivable Agreement provides that (i) in the event that the Company materially breaches the Tax Receivable Agreement, (ii) if, at any time, the Company elects an early termination of the Tax Receivable Agreement, or (iii) upon certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations or other changes of control, the Company's obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement (with respect to all units of Verra Mobility, whether or not any units of Verra Mobility have been exchanged or acquired before or after such transaction) would accelerate and become payable in a lump sum amount. The lump sum amount would be equal to the present value of the anticipated future tax benefits calculated based on certain assumptions, including that the Company would have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the deductions arising from the tax deductions, tax basis and other tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement.

    As a result of the foregoing, (i) the Company could be required to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement that are greater than or less than the specified percentage of the actual tax savings the Company realizes in respect of the tax attributes subject to the agreements and (ii) the Company may be required to make an immediate lump sum payment equal to the present value of the anticipated future tax savings, which payment may be made years in advance of the actual realization of such future benefits, if any of such benefits are ever realized.

(l)
For the purposes of this Note (l), terms used herein are defined as set forth in the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement. Following the Closing of the Business Combination, and as additional consideration for the Mergers and the other Transactions, within five Business Days after the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Parent shall issue to each Cash Consideration Stockholder (at the Pro Rata Cash Share) the following shares of Parent Class A Stock (adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combination, exchange of shares or other like change or transaction with respect to Parent Class A Stock occurring on or after the Closing ("Earn-Out Shares"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and the other Related Agreements.

    The Earn-Out Shares will be issued by the Company to the Platinum Stockholder as follows: (i) a one-time issuance of 2,500,000 shares if the Common Share Price is greater than $13.00; (ii) a

NOTE 3—PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS (Continued)

    one-time issuance of 2,500,000 shares if the Common Share Price is greater than $15.50; (iii) a one-time issuance of 2,500,000 shares if the Common Share Price is greater than $18.00; and (iv) a one-time issuance of 2,500,000 shares if the Common Share Price is greater than $20.50. If any of the Common Share Price thresholds described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) are not achieved within the five-year period following the closing of the Mergers, the Company will not be required to issue the Earn-Out Shares in respect of such Common Share Price threshold.

    For the avoidance of doubt, the Cash Consideration Stockholders shall be entitled to receive Earn-Out Shares upon the occurrence of each Triggering Event; provided, however, that each Triggering Event shall only occur once, if at all, and in no event shall the Cash Consideration Stockholders be entitled to receive more than an aggregate of 10,000,000 Earn-Out Shares. Because this is a reverse acquisition, contingent shares issued to the stockholders of the accounting acquirer should be included in earnings per share from the date of issuance.

    If, during the Earn Out Period, there is a Change of Control that will result in the holders of Parent Class A Stock receiving a per share price equal to or in excess of the applicable Common Share Price required in connection with any Triggering Event (an "Acceleration Event"), then immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control: (a) any such Triggering Event that has not previously occurred shall be deemed to have occurred; and (b) Parent shall issue the applicable Earn-Out Shares to the Cash Consideration Stockholders (in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Cash Share), and the recipients of the issued Earn-Out Shares shall be eligible to participate in such Change of Control.

    The Company has estimated the fair value of the contingently issuable shares to be $67.625 million. This is initially recorded as a distribution to shareholders and is presented as contingently issuable shares. Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event, any issuable shares would be transferred from contingently issuable shares to Common Stock and additional paid in capital. Any contingently issuable shares not issued as a result of a Triggering Event not being attained by the end of Earn-out Period will be cancelled.

Verra Mobility Historical Information in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operation

        On May 31, 2017, Verra Mobility, formerly known as ATS Consolidated Inc. ("ATS") was acquired by Platinum Equity (the "Platinum Merger"). Pursuant to the Platinum Merger, a new basis of accounting at fair value was established and the new stepped-up basis was pushed down to Verra Mobility. Historical information is presented in distinct periods to indicate the application of two different bases of accounting between the periods presented. The period January 1, through May 31, 2017 has been labeled "Predecessor" and has been prepared using the historical basis of accounting of the Predecessor. The period from June 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 has been labeled "Successor".

        On March 1, 2018, Verra Mobility acquired 100% of HTA (the "HTA Merger") and on April 6, 2018, Verra Mobility acquired 100% of Euro Parking Collection plc ("EPC"). In connection with the HTA Merger, Verra Mobility entered into a First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement, a Second Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement and a Revolving Credit Facility Agreement with a syndicate of lenders (collectively, the "2018 Credit Facilities"). The 2018 Credit Facilities provide for committed senior secured financing of $1.115 billion. The 2018 Credit Facilities replaced Verra Mobility's prior credit facilities (the "2017 Credit Facilities").

        The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations give effect to the HTA Merger and the Platinum Merger and the replacement of the 2017 Credit Facilities with the 2018 Credit Facilities as if they had occurred on January 1, 2017.

        Management has evaluated the differences between IFRS and U.S. GAAP as applicable to EPC and has identified one item related to customer unidentified and over payments that would not be considered revenue under U.S. GAAP. Those amounts are being adjusted to other income (expense). The EPC historical financial results utilized for the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and for the year ended December 31, 2017 have been converted from British Pounds into U.S. dollars using the historical average exchange rates for each period.

(1a)
Verra Mobility recognizes revenues from tolling and violations services in the Commercial Services segment on a net basis. All of HTA's revenues are related to tolling and violations products. The adjustment above is to reclassify the HTA cost of revenues as a reduction of revenues consistent with the accounting policy at Verra Mobility.

(1b)
Prior to the HTA Merger, HTA capitalized payments made to a tolling services customer to extend the existing contract. This amount was capitalized and amortized over the term of the contract as a reduction of revenue. As a result of the HTA Merger, and the resultant purchase price allocation, the contract inducement was subsumed into the larger customer relationship intangible asset recorded for this and other HTA customers. This adjustment reflects the removal of those costs.

(1c)
In connection with the HTA and EPC mergers, Verra Mobility incurred several nonrecurring transaction expenses. Such expenses meet the directly attributable and factually supportable criteria. This adjustment reflects the elimination of those expenses.

Prior to the HTA Merger, HTA capitalized costs related to internally developed software. These amounts were then amortized over 5 years. As a result of the HTA Merger, and the resultant purchase price allocation, these capitalized amounts were subsumed into the larger developed technology intangible asset recorded for the various HTA operating platforms. This adjustment reflects the removal of those costs.

(2g)
Prior to the HTA Merger, HTA made the private company election to amortize goodwill related to a 2016 business combination. This adjustment reflects the removal of those costs as Verra Mobility does not amortize goodwill.

        The following tables set forth:

    historical per share information of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2017 and for the six months ended June 30, 2018;

    historical per share information of Verra Mobility for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the six months ended June 30, 2018; and

    unaudited pro forma per share information of the combined company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 and the six months ended June 30, 2018, after giving effect to the Business Combination, assuming two redemption scenarios as follows:

    Assuming No Redemptions:    This scenario assumes that no shares of Company Class A Stock are redeemed; and

    Assuming Maximum Redemptions:    This scenario assumes that 20,000,000 shares of Class A Stock, or 50% of the outstanding shares of Class A Stock, are redeemed, resulting in an aggregate payment of $200,000,000 out of the Trust Account, and that the fair value of the marketable securities held in the Trust Account following such redemption along with the proceeds from the Private Placement are sufficient to satisfy closing cash conditions pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. If, as a result of redemptions of Class A Stock by our public stockholders, these closing cash conditions are not met (or waived), then the Company or Greenlight (as applicable) may elect not to consummate the Business Combination or redeem any shares and all shares of Class A Stock submitted for redemption will be returned to the holders thereof.

        The pro forma book value, net income (loss) and cash dividends per share information reflect the Business Combination contemplated by the Merger Agreement as if it had occurred on June 30, 2018.

SPECIAL MEETING IN LIEU OF 2018 ANNUAL MEETING OF COMPANY STOCKHOLDERS

        This proxy statement is being provided to Company stockholders as part of a solicitation of proxies by the Board for use at the Special Meeting in Lieu of 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on [    ·    ], 2018, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. This proxy statement contains important information regarding the Special Meeting, the proposals on which you are being asked to vote and information you may find useful in determining how to vote and voting procedures.

        This proxy statement is being first mailed on or about [    ·    ], 2018 to all stockholders of record of the Company as of [    ·    ], 2018, the record date for the Special Meeting. Stockholders of record who owned Company Common Stock at the close of business on the record date are entitled to receive notice of, attend and vote at the Special Meeting. On the record date, there were [    ·    ] shares of Company Common Stock outstanding.

Date, Time and Place of Special Meeting

        The Special Meeting will be held at [    ·    ], on [    ·    ], at, or such other date, time and place to which such meeting may be adjourned or postponed, to consider and vote upon the proposals.

Voting Power; Record Date

        As a stockholder of the Company, you have a right to vote on certain matters affecting the Company. The proposals that will be presented at the Special Meeting and upon which you are being asked to vote are summarized below and fully set forth in this proxy statement. You will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the Special Meeting if you owned shares of our Common Stock at the close of business on [    ·    ], 2018, which is the record date for the Special Meeting. You are entitled to one vote for each share of our Common Stock that you owned as of the close of business on the record date. If your shares are held in "street name" or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. On the record date, there were [    ·    ] shares of Common Stock outstanding, of which [    ·    ] are public shares and [    ·    ] are Founder Shares held by our Initial Stockholders.

Proposals at the Special Meeting

        At the Special Meeting, Company stockholders will vote on the following proposals:

    Business Combination Proposal—To adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination (Proposal No. 1);

    Nasdaq Proposal—To approve, for purposes of complying with applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules, the issuance of more than 20% of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination and the Private Placement (Proposal No. 2);

    Charter Approval Proposal—To consider and act upon a proposal to adopt the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in the form attached hereto as Annex C (Proposal No. 3);

    Director Election Proposal—To elect seven directors to serve staggered terms on our Board until the 2019, 2020 and 2021 annual meetings of stockholders, as applicable, and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified (Proposal No. 5);

148


Table of Contents

    Incentive Plan Proposal—To consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Incentive Plan, including the authorization of the initial share reserve under the Incentive Plan (Proposal No. 6); and

    Adjournment Proposal—To consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal or the Charter Approval Proposal. This proposal will only be presented at the Special Meeting if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal or the Charter Approval Proposal (Proposal No. 7).

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" EACH OF THESE PROPOSALS.

Vote of the Company's Sponsor, Directors and Officers

        Prior to our IPO, we entered into agreements with our Initial Stockholders, other current directors and officers, pursuant to which each agreed to vote any shares of Common Stock owned by them in favor of an initial business combination. These agreements apply to our Initial Stockholders, including our Sponsor, as it relates to the Founder Shares and the requirement to vote all of the Founder Shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and for all other proposals to be presented to our stockholders at the Special Meeting and described in this proxy statement.

        Our Initial Stockholders, other current directors and officers have waived any redemption rights, including with respect to shares of Class A Stock purchased in our IPO or in the aftermarket, in connection with Business Combination. The Founder Shares held by our Initial Stockholders have no redemption rights upon our liquidation and will be worthless if no business combination is effected by us by January 19, 2019. However, our Initial Stockholders are entitled to redemption rights upon our liquidation with respect to any public shares they may own.

Quorum and Required Vote for Proposals for the Special Meeting

        A quorum of Company stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the Special Meeting if a majority of the Company's Common Stock outstanding on the record date and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is represented in person or by proxy. Abstentions will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum.

        The approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Governance Proposal, which is a non-binding advisory vote, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of our outstanding shares of common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. Accordingly, a Company stockholder's failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote will have no effect on the Business Combination Proposal, the Governance Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal. Our Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote their Founder Shares and any public shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of the Business Combination Proposal.

        The approval of the Nasdaq Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. Accordingly, a Company stockholder's failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting and broker non-votes will not be counted towards the number of shares of Common Stock required to validly establish a quorum, and if a valid quorum is otherwise established, such failure to vote and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the

149


Table of Contents

Nasdaq Proposal. Abstentions will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established and will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the Nasdaq Proposal.

        The approval of the Charter Approval Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. Accordingly, a Company stockholder's failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote with regard to the Charter Approval Proposal will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" such Charter Approval Proposal.

        Directors are elected by a plurality of all of the votes cast by holders of shares of our Common Stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. This means that the seven director nominees who receive the most affirmative votes will be elected. Stockholders may not cumulate their votes with respect to the election of directors. Assuming a valid quorum is established, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors.

        The Business Combination is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Charter Approval Proposal at the Special Meeting. Each of the proposals other than the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Charter Approval Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Charter Approval Proposal, other than the Governance Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, which are not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement.

        It is important for you to note that in the event that the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal or the Charter Approval Proposal do not receive the requisite vote for approval, we will not consummate the Business Combination. If we do not consummate the Business Combination and fail to complete an initial business combination by January 19, 2019, we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to our public stockholders.

Recommendation to Company Stockholders

Our Board believes that each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Charter Approval Proposal, the Governance Proposal, the Director Election Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal to be presented at the Special Meeting is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders and unanimously recommends that its stockholders vote "FOR" each of the proposals.

        When you consider the recommendation of our Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, you should keep in mind that our Sponsor and certain members of our Board and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or in addition to (or which may conflict with) your interests as a stockholder. Stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the proposals presented at the Special Meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal. These interests include, among other things:

    the fact that our Initial Stockholders have agreed not to redeem any of the Founder Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;

    the fact that our Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their right to conversion price adjustment with respect to any shares of our Common Stock they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination;

    the fact that our Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for 10,781,250 Founder Shares and (after giving effect to the cancellation of (i) 781,250 Founder Shares on February 27, 2017 and (ii) approximately 3,478,261 Founder Shares at the time of the Business Combination) the remaining 6,521,739 Founder Shares will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination, which if unrestricted and freely tradable would be valued at approximately $65,217,390 but, given the restrictions on such shares, we believe such shares have less value;

150


Table of Contents

    the fact that our Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if we fail to complete an initial business combination by January 19, 2019;

    the fact that our Sponsor paid an aggregate of $10,000,000 for its 6,666,666 Private Placement Warrants to purchase shares of Class A Stock and that such Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless if a business combination is not consummated by January 19, 2019;

    the continued right of our Sponsor to hold our Class A Stock and the shares of Class A Stock to be issued to our Sponsor upon exercise of its Private Placement Warrants following the Business Combination, subject to certain lock-up periods;

    if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, our Sponsor has agreed to indemnify us to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.00 per public share, or such lesser per public share amount as is in the Trust Account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which we have entered into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party (other than our independent public accountants) for services rendered or products sold to us, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account;

    the anticipated continuation of two of our existing directors, Messrs. Randall Bort and Jeffrey Rea, as directors of the post-combination company;

    the continued indemnification of our existing directors and officers and the continuation of our directors' and officers' liability insurance after the Business Combination;

    the fact that our Sponsor, officers and directors will lose their entire investment in us and will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses if an initial business combination is not consummated by January 19, 2019;

    that, as described in the Charter Approval Proposal and reflected in Annex C, our proposed Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation will be amended to exclude The Gores Group and Platinum Equity and each of their successors, certain affiliates and each of their respective transferees as "interested parties" from the list of prohibited business combinations not in compliance with Section 203 of the DGCL;

    that, at the closing of the Business Combination we will enter into the Registration Rights Agreement with the Restricted Stockholders, which provides for registration rights to Restricted Stockholders and their permitted transferees;

    that certain employees and affiliates of our Sponsor have committed to purchase up to 4,203,795 shares of Class A Stock in the Private Placement for an aggregate commitment of approximately $38,674,914; and

    the fact that Alec Gores, our Chairman, is the brother of Tom Gores, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Platinum Equity, and that Tom Gores and certain employees and affiliates of Platinum Equity would participate in the Private Placement. Platinum Equity currently holds a controlling stake in Verra Mobility through the Platinum Stockholder, which will receive all of the cash consideration and a portion of the stock consideration to be paid in connection with the business combination. The Platinum Stockholder will retain approximately 34% of voting power in the post-combination company assuming no share redemptions and 47% of voting power assuming maximum share redemptions. The Platinum Stockholder will also have the right to nominate up to three directors to the post-closing company's board of directors, of whom one will initially be the current Chief Executive Officer of Verra Mobility as a Class II director and the other two will initially be representatives of the Platinum Stockholder as

151


Table of Contents

      Class III directors. In addition, if one of the Platinum Stockholder's nominees is elected, one of the Platinum Stockholder's nominees will serve as the chairman of the board of directors and the Platinum Stockholder will have the right to appoint one representative to each committee of the board of the post-closing company. The Platinum Stockholder's right to nominate directors to the post-closing company's board is subject to maintaining its ownership percentage of the total outstanding shares of Class A Stock at certain levels as discussed elsewhere in this proxy statement.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

        Abstentions are considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the Nasdaq Proposal and the Charter Approval Proposal, but will have no effect on the Business Combination Proposal, the Governance Proposal, the Director Election Proposal, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.

        In general, if your shares are held in "street" name and you do not instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on a timely basis on how to vote your shares, your broker, bank or other nominee, in its sole discretion, may either leave your shares unvoted or vote your shares on routine matters, but not on any non-routine matters. None of the proposals at the Special Meeting are routine matters. As such, without your voting instructions, your brokerage firm cannot vote your shares on any proposal to be voted on at the Special Meeting.

Voting Your Shares—Stockholders of Record

        If you are a Company stockholder of record, you may vote by mail or in person at the Special Meeting. Each share of our Common Stock that you own in your name entitles you to one vote on each of the proposals for the Special Meeting. Your one or more proxy cards show the number of shares of our Common Stock that you own.

        Voting by Mail.    You can vote your shares by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. By signing the proxy card and returning it in the enclosed prepaid and addressed envelope, you are authorizing the individuals named on the proxy card to vote your shares at the Special Meeting in the manner you indicate. We encourage you to sign and return the proxy card even if you plan to attend the Special Meeting so that your shares will be voted if you are unable to attend the Special Meeting. If you receive more than one proxy card, it is an indication that your shares are held in multiple accounts. Please sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares of our Common Stock will be voted as recommended by our Board. Our Board recommends voting "FOR" the Business Combination Proposal, "FOR" the Nasdaq Proposal, "FOR" the Charter Approval Proposal, "FOR" the Governance Proposal, "FOR" each nominee in the Director Election Proposal, "FOR" the Incentive Plan Proposal and "FOR" the Adjournment Proposal. Votes submitted by mail must be received by [    ·    ] on [    ·    ].

        Voting in Person at the Meeting.    If you attend the Special Meeting and plan to vote in person, we will provide you with a ballot at the Special Meeting. If your shares are registered directly in your name, you are considered the stockholder of record and you have the right to vote in person at the Special Meeting.

Voting Your Shares—Beneficial Owners

        If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in "street name" and this proxy statement is being sent to you by that broker, bank or other nominee. The broker, bank or other nominee holding your account is considered

152


Table of Contents

to be the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Special Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee regarding how to vote the shares in your account by following the instructions that the broker, bank or other nominee provides you along with this proxy statement. As a beneficial owner, if you wish to vote at the Special Meeting, you will need to bring to the Special Meeting a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee authorizing you to vote those shares. That is the only way we can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares of Common Stock. Please see "Attending the Special Meeting" below for more details.

Attending the Special Meeting

        Only Company stockholders on the record date or their legal proxy holders may attend the Special Meeting. To be admitted to the Special Meeting, you will need a form of photo identification and valid proof of ownership of Common Stock or a valid legal proxy. If you have a legal proxy from a stockholder of record, you must bring a form of photo identification and the legal proxy to the Special Meeting. If you have a legal proxy from a "street name" stockholder, you must bring a form of photo identification, a legal proxy from the record holder (that is, the bank, broker or other holder of record) to the "street name" stockholder that is assignable, and the legal proxy from the "street name" stockholder to you. Stockholders may appoint only one proxy holder to attend on their behalf.

Revoking Your Proxy

Redemption Rights

        Pursuant to our current certificate of incorporation, any holders of our public shares may demand that such shares be redeemed in exchange for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account, less Regulatory Withdrawals and franchise and income taxes payable, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. If demand is properly made and the Business Combination is consummated, these shares, immediately prior to the Business

Table of Contents

Combination, will cease to be outstanding and will represent only the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account which holds the proceeds of our IPO (calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, less Regulatory Withdrawals and franchise and income taxes payable). For illustrative purposes, based on the fair value of investment securities held in the Trust Account of approximately $404,611,945 as of June 30, 2018, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.12.

        In order to exercise your redemption rights, you must:

    if you hold public units, separate the underlying public shares and public warrants;

    check the box on the enclosed proxy card to elect redemption;

    check the box on the enclosed proxy card marked "Stockholder Certification" if you are not acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) with any other stockholder with respect to shares of Common Stock and

    prior to [    ·    ] on [    ·    ] (two business days before the Special Meeting), tender your shares physically or electronically and submit a request in writing that we redeem your public shares for cash to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our Transfer Agent, at the following address:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
1 State Street 30th Floor
New York, New York 10004
Attention: Mark Zimkind
Email: mzimkind@continentalstock.com

and

    deliver your public shares either physically or electronically through DTC's DWAC system to our Transfer Agent at least two business days before the Special Meeting. Stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights and opting to deliver physical certificates should allot sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the Transfer Agent and time to effect delivery. It is our understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the Transfer Agent. However, we do not have any control over this process and it may take longer than two weeks. Stockholders who hold their shares in street name will have to coordinate with their bank, broker or other nominee to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically. If you do not submit a written request and deliver your public shares as described above, your shares will not be redeemed.

        Stockholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in "street name" are required to either tender their certificates to our Transfer Agent prior to the date set forth in these proxy materials, or up to two business days prior to the vote on the proposal to approve the Business Combination at the Special Meeting, or to deliver their shares to the Transfer Agent electronically using DTC's DWAC system, at such stockholder's option. The requirement for physical or electronic delivery prior to the Special Meeting ensures that a redeeming stockholder's election to redeem is irrevocable once the Business Combination is approved.

        Holders of outstanding public units must separate the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares.

        If you hold public units registered in your own name, you must deliver the certificate for such public units to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our Transfer Agent, with written instructions to separate such public units into public shares and public warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit the mailing of the public share certificates back to you so

154


Table of Contents

that you may then exercise your redemption rights upon the separation of the public shares from the public units.

        If a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee holds your public units, you must instruct such nominee to separate your public units. Your nominee must send written instructions by facsimile to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our Transfer Agent. Such written instructions must include the number of public units to be split and the nominee holding such public units. Your nominee must also initiate electronically, using DTC's DWAC system, a withdrawal of the relevant units and a deposit of an equal number of public shares and public warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit your nominee to exercise your redemption rights upon the separation of the public shares from the public units. While this is typically done electronically on the same business day, you should allow at least one full business day to accomplish the separation. If you fail to cause your public shares to be separated in a timely manner, you will likely not be able to exercise your redemption rights.

        Each redemption of shares of Class A Stock by our public stockholders will reduce the amount in our Trust Account, which held investment securities with a fair value of approximately $404,611,945 as of June 30, 2018. The Merger Agreement provides that our obligation to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on the amount in the Trust Account and the proceeds from the Private Placement equaling or exceeding $550,000,000. The obligation of Greenlight to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on the amount of the Trust Account and the proceeds from the Private Placement equaling or exceeding $600,000,000. These conditions to closing in the Merger Agreement are for the sole benefit of the parties thereto and may be waived by such parties. If, as a result of redemptions of Class A Stock by our public stockholders, these conditions are not met (or waived), then we or Greenlight (as applicable) may elect not to consummate the Business Combination. In addition, in no event will we redeem shares of our Class A Stock in an amount that would result in the Company's failure to have net tangible assets in excess of $5,000,000.

        Prior to exercising redemption rights, stockholders should verify the market price of our Class A Stock as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their Class A Stock in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. We cannot assure you that you will be able to sell your shares of our Class A Stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in our Class A Stock when you wish to sell your shares.

        If you exercise your redemption rights, your shares of our Class A Stock will cease to be outstanding immediately prior to the Business Combination and will only represent the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account. You will no longer own those shares and will have no right to participate in, or have any interest in, the future growth of the post-combination company, if any. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you properly and timely demand redemption.

        If the Business Combination is not approved and we do not consummate an initial business combination by January 19, 2019, we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public stockholders and our warrants will expire worthless.

Appraisal Rights

        Appraisal rights are not available to holders of shares of our Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination.

PROPOSAL NO. 1—APPROVAL OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION

        We are asking our stockholders to adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination. Our stockholders should read carefully this proxy statement in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement. Please see the subsection entitled "The Merger Agreement" below, for additional information and a summary of certain terms of the Merger Agreement. You are urged to read carefully the Merger Agreement in its entirety before voting on this proposal.

        We may consummate the Business Combination only if it is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting.

The Merger Agreement

        This subsection of the proxy statement describes the material provisions of the Merger Agreement, but does not purport to describe all of the terms of the Merger Agreement. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Annex A hereto, and Amendment No. 1 to the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Annex B hereto. You are urged to read the Merger Agreement in its entirety because it is the primary legal document that governs the Business Combination.

        The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Merger Agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the Merger Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement are also modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules, which we refer to as the "Schedules," which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to stockholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. We do not believe that the Schedules contain information that is material to an investment decision.

General Description of the Merger Agreement

        On June 21, 2018, the Company entered into the Merger Agreement with First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub, Greenlight and the Stockholder Representative thereunder, pursuant to which, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Merger Agreement, the Company will acquire Verra Mobility. After giving effect to the Business Combination, Verra Mobility will continue as a subsidiary of the Company and the Greenlight Stockholders will hold a portion of the Company's Class A Stock.

        Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement and customary adjustments set forth therein, the aggregate merger consideration to be paid in connection with the Business Combination is expected to be approximately $2.3 billion, which amount will be: (i) increased or decreased by the amount, if any, by which Greenlight's working capital at closing is greater than or less than $52,000,000, as the case may be (in each case, subject to certain limitations); (ii) increased by the amount of cash held by Greenlight as of the closing of the Business Combination; (iii) increased by the amount, if any, by which any income tax refunds of Greenlight and its subsidiaries (to the extent not received in cash by Greenlight or its subsidiaries prior to the Business Combination) for the taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on the date of the closing of the Business Combination and the taxable period ending on December 31, 2017 (or, with respect to any non-calendar year taxpayer for income tax purposes, the taxable year immediately preceding the taxable year (or portion thereof) ending on the date of the

157


Table of Contents

closing of the Business Combination for which final income tax returns have not been filed) exceeds the accrued but unpaid income taxes of Greenlight and its subsidiaries for such tax periods; (iv) decreased by the amount, if any, by which any accrued but unpaid income taxes of Greenlight and its subsidiaries for the taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on the date of the closing of the Business Combination and the taxable period ended on December 31, 2017 (or, with respect to any non-calendar year taxpayer for income tax purposes, the taxable year immediately preceding the taxable year (or portion thereof) ending on the date of the closing of the Business Combination for which final income tax Returns have not been filed) exceed any income tax refunds of Greenlight and its subsidiaries, to the extent not received in cash by Greenlight or its subsidiaries prior to the Business Combination, for such taxable periods; (v) decreased by the amount of Greenlight's outstanding indebtedness under its existing credit facilities; (vi) decreased by the amount by which Greenlight's transaction expenses exceed $20,000,000; and (vii) decreased by the amount payable by Greenlight to the employees of Greenlight pursuant to the Participation Plan. The consideration to be paid to the Greenlight Stockholders will be a combination of cash and stock.

        Prior to the closing of the Business Combination contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the parties will undertake the following transactions: (i) the merger of First Merger Sub with and into Greenlight, with Greenlight continuing as the surviving corporation (the "First Merger"); and (ii) immediately following the First Merger and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, the merger of Greenlight with and into Second Merger Sub with Second Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity (the "Second Merger" and, together with the First Merger, the "Mergers"). As a result of the First Merger, the Company will own 100% of the outstanding common stock of Greenlight and each share of common stock of Greenlight will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a portion of the consideration. As a result of the Second Merger, the Company will own 100% of the outstanding interests in the Second Merger Sub. As a result of the foregoing, after the closing of the Business Combination, the Company will own, directly or indirectly, all of the assets of Greenlight and its subsidiaries. It is intended that the First Merger and the Second Merger, taken together, will qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

        The Company has agreed to provide its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem shares of Class A Stock in conjunction with a stockholder vote on the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Business Combination.

Consideration to Greenlight Stockholders in the Business Combination

        The consideration to be paid to the Greenlight Stockholders will be a combination of cash and stock. The amount of cash consideration payable to the Greenlight Stockholders is the sum of: (i) cash available to us from the Trust Account, after giving effect to taxes payable and any redemptions that may be elected by any of our public stockholders for their pro rata share of the aggregate amount of funds on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the closing of the Business Combination (which instructions to redeem such public shares are further discussed in this proxy statement); plus (ii) the anticipated gross proceeds of approximately $400,000,000 from the Private Placement; less (iii) certain transaction fees and expenses of the Company, including the payment of deferred underwriting commissions agreed to at the time of our IPO; less (iv) certain payments to participants in the Participation Plan, less (v) approximately $132,515,647 that will be used to repay a portion of the existing indebtedness of Verra Mobility. The remainder of the consideration paid to the Greenlight Stockholders will be stock consideration, consisting of approximately 65,200,000 newly issued shares of our publicly-traded Class A Stock, which shares will be valued at $10.00 per share for purposes of determining the aggregate number of shares payable to the Greenlight Stockholders for their ownership interests therein. The foregoing consideration to be paid to the Greenlight Stockholders may be further increased by amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement and amounts payable as earn-out shares of Class A Stock. The number of shares of Class A Stock issued to

158


Table of Contents

the Greenlight Stockholders as Stock Consideration is subject to adjustment, depending on, among other things, the level of redemptions of shares of Class A Stock by our public stockholders or in certain cases to preserve the intended tax-free treatment of the Business Combination. To the extent the Stock Consideration were increased to preserve the intended tax-free treatment of the Business Combination, there would be a corresponding reduction to the cash consideration paid to the Greenlight Stockholders. At the closing of the Business Combination, each Greenlight Stockholder will receive shares of Class A Stock, but only the Platinum Stockholder will receive the cash consideration. Following the closing of the Business Combination, each Greenlight Stockholder may receive cash consideration as a result of any upward adjustment of the purchase price, but only the Platinum Stockholder will receive any amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement or amounts payable as earn-out shares of Class A Stock.

Earn-Out

        Under the Merger Agreement, the Platinum Stockholder will be entitled to receive additional shares of Class A Stock (the "Earn-Out Shares") if the volume weighted average closing sale price of one share of Class A Stock on the Nasdaq exceeds certain thresholds for a period of at least 10 days out of 20 consecutive trading days at any time during the five-year period following the closing of the Mergers (the "Common Share Price").

        The Earn-Out Shares will be issued by the Company to the Platinum Stockholder as follows: (i) a one-time issuance of 2,500,000 shares if the Common Share Price is greater than $13.00; (ii) a one-time issuance of 2,500,000 shares if the Common Share Price is greater than $15.50; (iii) a one-time issuance of 2,500,000 shares if the Common Share Price is greater than $18.00; and (iv) a one-time issuance of 2,500,000 shares if the Common Share Price is greater than $20.50. If any of the Common Share Price thresholds described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) are not achieved within the five-year period following the closing of the Mergers, the Company will not be required to issue the Earn-Out Shares in respect of such Common Share Price threshold. The Platinum Stockholder will be entitled to Earn-Out Shares in the event an acceleration event (as described in the Merger Agreement) occurs.

Greenlight Material Adverse Effect

        Under the Merger Agreement, certain representations and warranties of Greenlight are qualified in whole or in part by a material adverse effect standard for purposes of determining whether a breach of such representations and warranties has occurred. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, a "Greenlight Material Adverse Effect" means any change, event, or occurrence, that, individually or when aggregated with other changes, events, or occurrences: (i) has had a materially adverse effect on the business, assets, financial condition or results of operations of Greenlight and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole; or (ii) is reasonably likely to prevent or materially delay the ability of Greenlight to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; provided, however, that no change, event, occurrence or effect arising out of or related to any of the following, alone or in combination, will be taken into account in determining whether a Greenlight Material Adverse Effect pursuant to clause (i) has occurred: (A) acts of war, sabotage, civil unrest or terrorism, or any escalation or worsening of any such acts of war, sabotage, civil unrest or terrorism, or changes in global, national, regional, state or local political or social conditions; (B) earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, pandemics or other natural or man-made disasters; (C) changes attributable to the public announcement or pendency of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (including the impact thereof on relationships with customers, suppliers, employees and any federal, state, local governmental entities); (D) changes or proposed changes in law, regulations or interpretations thereof or decisions by courts or any governmental or regulatory entity after June 21, 2018; (E) changes or proposed changes in accounting standards (or any interpretation thereof) after June 21, 2018; (F) any downturn in general economic conditions, including changes in the credit, debt, securities, financial, capital or reinsurance markets

159


Table of Contents

(including changes in interest or exchange rates, prices of any security or market index or commodity or any disruption of such markets), in each case, in the United States or anywhere else in the world; (G) events or conditions generally affecting the industries and markets in which Greenlight operates; (H) any failure to meet any projections, forecasts, guidance, estimates, milestones, budgets or financial or operating predictions of revenue, earnings, cash flow or cash position, provided that this clause (H) will not prevent a determination that any change, event, or occurrence underlying such failure has resulted in a Greenlight Material Adverse Effect; or (I) any actions required to be taken, or required not to be taken, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement; provided, however, that if a change or effect related to clauses (D) through (G) disproportionately adversely affects Greenlight and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, compared to other persons operating in the same industry as Greenlight and its subsidiaries, then such disproportionate impact may be taken into account in determining whether a Greenlight Material Adverse Effect has occurred.

Company Material Adverse Effect

        Under the Merger Agreement, certain representations and warranties of the Company are qualified in whole or in part by a material adverse effect standard for purposes of determining whether a breach of such representations and warranties has occurred. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, a "Company Material Adverse Effect" means any change, event, or occurrence, that, individually or when aggregated with other changes, events, or occurrences: (i) has had a materially adverse effect on the business, assets, financial condition or results of operations of the Company, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub, taken as a whole; or (ii) is reasonably likely to prevent or delay the ability of the Company, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; provided, however, that no change or effect related to any of the following, alone or in combination, will be taken into account in determining whether a Company Material Adverse Effect has occurred pursuant to clause (i): (A) changes or proposed changes in law, regulations or interpretations thereof or decisions by courts or any governmental or regulatory entity after June 21, 2018; (B) changes or proposed changes in accounting standards (or any interpretation thereof) after June 21, 2018; or (C) any downturn in general economic conditions, including changes in the credit, debt, securities, financial, capital or reinsurance markets (including changes in interest or exchange rates, prices of any security or market index or commodity or any disruption of such markets), in each case, in the United States or anywhere else in the world.

        The closing of the Business Combination is expected to take place at the offices of Weil located at 201 Redwood Shores Parkway, Redwood Shores, CA 94065 at a time and date to be specified in writing by the parties to the Merger Agreement, which will not be later than the third business day after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described below under the subsection "Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination" or at such other time, date and location as may be mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties to the Merger Agreement.

Mobility prior to the Business Combination. The Company generally will retain the benefit of the remaining 50% of these cash savings.

Background of the Business Combination

        The Company is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on August 15, 2016, for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. The Business Combination was the result of an extensive search for a potential transaction utilizing the global network and investing and operating experience of our management team and Board. The terms of the Business Combination were the result of extensive negotiations between our independent directors, our management team, our Sponsor, The Gores Group, representatives of Greenlight and Platinum Equity. The following is a brief description of the background of these negotiations, the Business Combination and related transactions.

        Prior to the consummation of our IPO, neither the Company, nor anyone on its behalf, contacted any prospective target business or had any substantive discussions, formal or otherwise, with respect to a transaction with the Company.

        After our IPO, the Company commenced an active search for prospective businesses and assets to acquire. Representatives of the Company, our Sponsor and The Gores Group contacted and were contacted by a number of individuals and entities with respect to acquisition opportunities.

        In evaluating potential businesses and assets to acquire, the Company, together with our Sponsor and The Gores Group, generally surveys the landscape of potential acquisition opportunities based on its knowledge of, and familiarity, with the M&A marketplace. In general, the Company looks for acquisition targets that are (i) of a size relevant to the public marketplace, which the Company generally views as companies with an enterprise value of at least $1.5 billion, and (ii) positioned, operationally and financially, to be successful as a public company. The Company further looks for those transactions that it believes that, if entered into, would be received well by the public markets. In particular, the Company generally seeks to identify companies that (i) have an existing strong management team, (ii) are positioned for growth, and (iii) generate significant cash flow. The Company also seeks to identify companies that it believes would benefit from being a publicly-held entity, particularly with respect to access to capital for both organic growth and for use in acquisitions. The Company generally applies this criteria when evaluating potential targets.

        During that period, our management, our Sponsor and The Gores Group:

    considered and conducted an analysis of over thirty-six potential acquisition targets (other than Greenlight) (the "Other Potential Targets"), entering into non-disclosure agreements with all of the Other Potential Targets; and

    ultimately engaged in detailed discussions, due diligence and negotiations with eight Other Potential Target businesses or their representatives.

        The eight Other Potential Target businesses included (i) a company in the technology and telecommunications industry ("Company A"), (ii) a company in the global transportation and logistics industry ("Company B"), (iii) a company in the building materials industry ("Company C"), (iv) a company in the automotive industry ("Company D"), (v) a company in the engineering and specialty materials industry ("Company E"), (vi) a company in the chemicals and specialty materials industry ("Company F"), (vii) a company in the retail industry ("Company G"), and (viii) a company in the school and sports supply industry ("Company H").

        The Company engaged in discussions with Company A from March 2017 through August 2017, until the Company advised Company A that is was postponing discussions to await stronger business

performance by Company A. The Company engaged in discussions with Company B from February 2017 through February 2018, but Company B ultimately decided to complete an initial public offering. Company C and the Company engaged in discussions from May 2017 through July 2017, but Company C ultimately decided to enter into a transaction with another acquirer. Discussions between the Company and Company D began in June 2017, but the Company decided to cease such discussions in April 2018 to focus on the possible business combination with Greenlight. Company E and the Company engaged in discussions between February 2017 and September 2017, but Company E ultimately entered into a transaction with another acquirer. The Company engaged in discussions with Company F from August 2017 through April 2018, at which point the Company ceased discussions to focus on a possible business combination with Greenlight. Company G and the Company engaged in discussions from August 2017 through March 2018, but Company G ultimately decided to complete an initial public offering. The Company and Company H discussed a potential transaction from September 2017 through December 2017, but Company H ultimately entered into a transaction with another acquirer.

        On January 7, 2018, Mr. Mark Stone, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Mr. Alec Gores, Chairman of the Board, contacted Mr. Jacob Kotzubei, Partner at Platinum Equity, via telephone to discuss possible business combination opportunities for the Company with portfolio companies of Platinum Equity. Messrs. Stone and Kotzubei subsequently arranged a meeting for January 29, 2018 at Platinum Equity's offices in Los Angeles, California, to discuss further such opportunities, at which point a possible business combination with Greenlight was raised by Mr. Kotzubei.

        On February 1, 2018, Mr. Stone contacted Mr. Luke Myers, a Senior Vice President at Platinum Equity overseeing its investment in Verra Mobility, to discuss a possible business combination with Greenlight. During this meeting, Mr. Myers provided an overview of Verra Mobility, its operations and financial condition. Mr. Stone also reviewed with Mr. Myers the Company's views as to how a potential transaction involving the Company and Greenlight would be structured, including that the Company contemplated raising additional equity capital from private investors in connection with a potential business combination (the "Private Placement"). The Company did not consider financing arrangements other than the Private Placement, as the Company believes that cash generated from additional equity invested at the time of the consummation of the business combination is preferable to other financing arrangements, based on the experience of the Company, Sponsor and the The Gores Group in transactions of this nature and such entities relationships with potential equity investors.

        On February 16, 2018, Messrs. Stone and Myers had a subsequent discussion via telephone regarding a possible business combination with Greenlight.

Deutsche Bank acted as underwriter to the Company in its initial public offering, and was consulted from time to time by the Company from time to time regarding its views with respect to the proposed business combination. Deutsche Bank will forfeit $14.0 million in deferred underwriter commissions in the event a business combination is not completed by January 19, 2019.

Mr. Myers advised Mr. Stone that Platinum Equity remained interested, and that he would revert back to Mr. Stone regarding possible dates to meet with Verra Mobility's senior management.

        On June 11, 2018, Weil delivered initial drafts of the Subscription Agreements to certain potential Private Placement Investors, which contemplated, among other things, subject to the closing of the proposed business combination that: (a) the Private Placement Investors would purchase Class A Stock from the Company at a discounted price of $9.20 a share; (b) the Company would, within 30 days after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, file a registration statement with the SEC registering the resale of the shares of Class A Stock and use commercially reasonable efforts to have the statement declared effective; and (c) the Subscription Agreement would

terminate: (i) at such date and time as the Merger Agreement is terminated; (ii) upon the mutual written agreement of the parties to the Subscription Agreement; or (iii) if any of the conditions to closing the proposed business combination set forth in the Subscription Agreement were not satisfied on or prior to closing and, thus, the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement were not consummated.

        From approximately June 13 to June 18, 2018, certain potential Private Placement Investors provided comments to Weil's initial draft in which they requested changes to, among other things, the conditions to the closing of the Private Placement and the Company's obligation to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement.

        On June 15, 2018, the Board held a meeting in which Messrs. Stone, Schiano, McBride, Gores, Bort, Rea and Patton and representatives of Weil were in attendance. During this meeting, Mr. Stone updated the Board on the status of the potential business combination with Greenlight. In particular, Mr. Stone updated the Board on the status of the Company's diligence to date, the then-current contemplated transaction structure and terms, the proposed timeline and the status of and interest in the Private Placement.

        Also on June 15, 2018, Gibson Dunn sent Weil an initial draft of the Investor Rights Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, so long as the Platinum Stockholder maintained a certain ownership percentage of Class A Stock, Verra Mobility would be required to obtain the Platinum Stockholder's consent prior to taking certain post-closing actions, including with respect to the issuance of debt or equity securities or amending its organization documents. Later that day, Weil sent Gibson Dunn a revised draft of the Investor Rights Agreement proposing to remove the Platinum Stockholder's consent rights. The parties subsequently agreed to remove such consent rights.

        On June 19, 2018, Messrs. Stone and Myers discussed via telephone the status of the possible business combination, including the allocation of the Private Placement among potential investors and the timing for announcing the transaction.

        On June 20, 2018, Gibson Dunn and Weil agreed upon on the final version of the Merger Agreement pursuant to which, among other things: (a) Gores agreed to accept the deletion of the Greenlight Stockholder indemnity and instead opted to obtain the R&W Policy to provide coverage for, among other things, Greenlight's breach of representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement; (b) the parties agreed to make the working capital adjustment to the merger consideration subject to a tipping basket; (c) the merger consideration would be subject to an upward and downward adjustment for certain post-closing tax refunds; and (d) the amount paid by Gores at the closing of the Business Combination to certain officers of Verra Mobility pursuant to the Participation Plan and any other transaction costs of Greenlight in excess of $20 million would be deducted from the merger consideration. In addition, Weil and Gibson Dunn agreed on the final version of the Tax Receivable Agreement, pursuant to which the parties agreed to split any future tax benefits on an equal basis.

        Also on June 20, 2018, the Company and the parties finalized the Subscription Agreements, pursuant to which the Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain effectiveness of the registration statement until all registered securities cease to be registrable securities or are sold.

        In addition, also on June 20, 2018, the Board convened to discuss final transaction terms and evaluate the Business Combination. Messrs. Stone, Schiano, McBride, Gores, Bort, Rea and Patton of the Company, representatives of Weil and representatives of Moelis were also in attendance by invitation of the Board. Representatives of Moelis provided a presentation to the Board, a copy of which was provided to the Board in advance of the meeting, regarding Moelis' financial analysis of the consideration to be paid by the Company in the Business Combination and delivered to the Board an oral opinion, which was confirmed by delivery of a written opinion, dated June 20, 2018, and attached as Annex E to this proxy statement, addressed to the Board to the effect that, as of the date of the

183


Table of Contents

opinion and based upon and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in the opinion, the consideration to be paid by the Company in the Business Combination is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company. Thereafter, representatives of Weil reviewed with the Board the terms of the Business Combination, including the Merger Agreement and the other definitive agreements, copies of which were provided to the Board in advance of the meeting. The Board concluded, after a thorough review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to the Company, that the proposed Business Combination represented the best potential business combination for the Company based upon the process utilized to evaluate and assess other potential acquisition targets, and the Board's and management's belief that such processes had not presented a better alternative. In reaching this conclusion, the board took into account the criteria utilized by the Company to evaluate acquisition opportunities, and determined that the proposed Business Combination met such criteria, was the most actionable and capable of being completed in a timely matter, and was being accomplished under terms attractive to the Company and its stockholders. In addition, the Board, including the independent directors, noted that it was aware of and had considered the familial relationship between Alec Gores and Tom Gores and that Tom Gores and certain employees and affiliates from Platinum Equity would participate in the Private Placement. After discussion and upon a motion duly made and seconded, the Board unanimously resolved that the following be approved: (i) the Merger Agreement, each of the Related Agreements and the Business Combination; (ii) the Private Placement; and (iii) the issuance of shares of Class A Stock in connection with the Business Combination.

        On June 21, 2018, the parties executed the Merger Agreement and certain Private Placement Investors executed Subscription Agreements and other documentation related thereto. On the morning of June 21, 2018, before the stock market opened, the Company and Verra Mobility each announced the execution of the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination.

        On August 21, 2018, the Company entered into joinders to the Subscription Agreement with the Sponsor, through which certain members of our Sponsor, including employees and affiliates of our Sponsor agreed to purchase Class A Stock in the Private Placement under substantially similar terms to the Subscription Agreements above.

Opinion of the Company's Financial Advisor

        At the meeting of the Board on June 20, 2018 to evaluate and approve the Business Combination, Moelis delivered an oral opinion, which was confirmed by delivery of a written opinion, dated June 20, 2018, addressed to the Board to the effect that, as of the date of the opinion and based upon and subject to the assumptions, conditions and limitations set forth in the opinion, the consideration to be paid by the Company in the Business Combination was fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company.

        The full text of Moelis' written opinion dated June 20, 2018, which sets forth the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken in connection with the opinion (which are also summarized herein), is attached as Annex E to this proxy statement and is incorporated herein by reference. Moelis' opinion was provided for the use and benefit of the Board (in its capacity as such and not in any other capacity) in its evaluation of the Business Combination (and, in its engagement letter, Moelis provided its consent to the inclusion of the text of its opinion as part of this proxy statement). Moelis' opinion is limited solely to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Consideration to be paid by the Company in the Business Combination and does not address the Company's underlying business decision to effect the Business Combination or the relative merits of the Business Combination as compared to any alternative business strategies or transactions that might be available to the Company. Moelis' opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how any stockholder of the Company should vote or act with respect to the

184


Table of Contents

Business Combination or any other matter. Moelis' opinion was approved by a Moelis fairness opinion committee.

        In arriving at its opinion, Moelis, among other things:

    reviewed certain internal information relating to the business, earnings, cash flow, assets, liabilities and prospects of Verra Mobility furnished to Moelis by the Company, including financial forecasts provided to, or discussed with, Moelis by the management of the Company (for further information on such financial forecasts, please see the section entitled "Proposal No. 1—Approval of the Business Combination—Certain Company Projected Financial Information");

    reviewed certain internal information furnished to Moelis by the Company regarding certain projected synergies relating to transactions previously consummated by Verra Mobility (which we refer to in this section "—Opinion of the Company's Financial Advisor" as the "Historical Synergies");

    reviewed certain internal information furnished to Moelis by the Company regarding certain projected tax benefits relating to a transaction previously consummated by Verra Mobility (which we refer to in this section "—Opinion of the Company's Financial Advisor" as the "Historical Tax Benefits");

    reviewed certain internal information relating to expenses expected to result from the Business Combination;

    conducted discussions with members of senior management and representatives of the Company concerning the internal information described in the foregoing, as well as the business and prospects of the Company and Verra Mobility generally;

    reviewed publicly available financial and stock market data of certain other companies in lines of business that Moelis deemed relevant;

    reviewed the financial terms of certain other transactions that Moelis deemed relevant;

    reviewed a draft, dated June 18, 2018, of the Merger Agreement; and

    conducted such other financial studies and analyses and took into account such other information as Moelis deemed appropriate.

        In connection with its review, Moelis with the consent of the Board, relied on the information supplied to, discussed with or reviewed by it for the purpose of its opinion being complete and accurate in all material respects. Moelis did not assume any responsibility for independent verification of any such information. With the consent of the Board, Moelis relied upon, without independent verification, the assessment of the Company and its legal, tax, regulatory, and accounting advisors with respect to legal, tax, regulatory, and accounting matters. With respect to the financial forecasts and other information relating to Verra Mobility (including the Historical Synergies and Historical Tax Benefits) and the Company, Moelis assumed, at the Board's direction, that they were reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of the Company as to the future performance of Verra Mobility and the Company. Moelis also assumed, at the Board's direction, that the future financial results relating to the Historical Synergies reflected in such forecasts and other information will be achieved at the times and in the amounts projected, and that the Historical Tax Benefits will be available to and realized by Verra Mobility at the times and in the amounts projected. In addition, Moelis relied, with the Board's consent, on the assessments of the management of the Company as to the Company's ability to retain key employees of Verra Mobility. Moelis expressed no views as to the reasonableness of any financial forecasts or the assumptions on which they are based. In addition, with the Board's consent, Moelis did not make any independent

185


Table of Contents

evaluation or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities (contingent, derivative, off-balance-sheet, or otherwise) of Verra Mobility or the Company, nor was Moelis furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal.

        Moelis' opinion did not address the Company's underlying business decision to effect the Business Combination or the relative merits of the Business Combination as compared to any alternative business strategies or transactions that might be available to the Company and does not address any legal, regulatory, tax, or accounting matters. At the direction of the Board, Moelis was not asked, nor did it offer, any opinion as to any terms of the Merger Agreement or any aspect or implication of the Business Combination, except for the fairness of the Consideration from a financial point of view to the Company. With the Board's consent, Moelis expressed no opinion as to what the value of the shares of Class A Stock actually will be when issued pursuant to the Business Combination or the prices at which such Class A Stock or any other securities of the Company may trade at any time. With the Board's consent, Moelis did not express any opinion on any potential future consideration that may be received by sellers of Verra Mobility contingent on certain market prices for shares of Class A Stock or any cash payments pursuant to the Tax Receivables Agreement. Moelis did not express any opinion as to fair value or the solvency of Verra Mobility or the Company following the closing of the Business Combination. In rendering its opinion, Moelis assumed, with the Board's consent, that the final executed form of the Merger Agreement would not differ in any material respect from the draft that it reviewed, that the Business Combination would be consummated in accordance with its terms without any waiver or modification that could be material to Moelis' analysis, and that the parties to the Merger Agreement would comply with all the material terms of the Merger Agreement. Moelis assumed, with the Board's consent, that all governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the completion of the Business Combination would be obtained except to the extent that could not be material to its analysis. Moelis also was not requested to, and did not, participate in the structuring or negotiation of the Business Combination. Except as described in this summary, the Board imposed no other instructions or limitations on Moelis with respect to the investigations made or procedures followed by Moelis in rendering its opinion.

        Moelis' opinion was necessarily based on economic, monetary, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to Moelis as of, the date of the opinion, and Moelis assumed no responsibility to update the opinion for developments after the date of the opinion. In addition, certain data underlying Moelis' analysis and opinion pre-dates (and/or does not reflect the impact of) recently enacted federal tax legislation. The financial and stock markets have been adjusting to the impacts of such legislation, and Moelis' expressed no opinion or view as to any potential effects of such impacts on the Company, Verra Mobility or the Business Combination.

        Moelis' opinion did not address the fairness of the Business Combination or any aspect or implication of the Business Combination to, or any other consideration of or relating to, the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of the Company. In addition, Moelis did not express any opinion as to the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to be received by any officers, directors or employees of any parties to the Business Combination, or any class of such persons, relative to the Consideration or otherwise.

        The following is a summary of the material financial analyses presented by Moelis to the Board at its meeting held on June 20, 2018, in connection with its opinion.

        Some of the summaries of financial analyses below include information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand Moelis' analyses, the tables must be read together with the text of each summary. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the analyses. Considering the data described below without considering the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of Moelis' analyses.

    Financial Analyses of Verra Mobility

        Financial data for Verra Mobility was based on financial forecasts and other information and data provided by the Company's management, including the Company's projections of Verra Mobility's Adjusted EBITDA and PF Adjusted EBITDA for all periods. Additionally the Company provided estimates of the Historical Synergies and Historical Tax Benefits which relate to the estimated projected synergies relating to the Verra Mobility's acquisition of HTA. For purposes of the financial analyses described in this section "—Opinion of the Company's Financial Advisor,"

    (i)
    the term "Adjusted EBITDA" for any period refers to the Company's estimate of Verra Mobility's EBITDA for such period, adjusted to reflect certain transaction expenses and other add-backs, the impact of the full-year ownership of HTA and Euro Parking Collection plc "EPC" and the U.S. based Historical Synergies projected to be realized during such period, and

    (ii)
    the term "PF Adjusted EBITDA" for CY2018 or LTM ended March 31, 2018, refers to the Company's estimate of Adjusted EBITDA for such period, as further adjusted to reflect the full-year run rate impact of the U.S. based Historical Synergies.

        Selected Public Companies Analysis.    Moelis reviewed financial and stock market information of publicly traded financial technology and industrial technology companies whose operations Moelis believed, based on its experience and professional judgement, to be generally relevant in certain respects to Verra Mobility. Although none of the selected companies reviewed in this analysis were directly comparable to Verra Mobility, Moelis selected the companies because, among other things, the companies had one or more similar operating and financial characteristics as Verra Mobility, including: (i) revenue growth, profitability profile and cash flow characteristics; (ii) geographic and market presence; (iii) size and capabilities; and (iv) product and service mix.

        Moelis reviewed the enterprise value ("Enterprise Value") of each of the selected companies (calculated as market value of the relevant company's diluted common equity based on its closing stock price on June 15, 2018, plus preferred stock, plus, as of the relevant company's most recently reported quarter end, net debt, plus, where applicable, book value of non-controlling interests) as a multiple of estimated EBITDA (adjusted to exclude one-time items, stock-based compensation and material acquisitions) for the calendar years 2018 and 2019 (which we refer to in this section "—Opinion of the Company's Financial Advisor" as "CY2018" and "CY2019"). EBITDA data for the selected companies was based on publicly available consensus research analysts' estimates and Enterprise Value related data for the selected companies was based on public filings and other publicly available information, all as of June 15, 2018.

        Based on the foregoing and using its professional judgment, Moelis selected reference range multiples of (i) 14.0x to 16.0x the estimated Adjusted EBITDA of Verra Mobility for CY2018; (ii) 14.0x to 16.0x the estimated PF Adjusted EBITDA of Verra Mobility for CY2018; and (iii) 12.25x to 14.25x the estimated Adjusted EBITDA of Verra Mobility for CY2019.

        The selected ranges generally reflected the mean of trading multiples for the selected public companies as of June 15, 2018. The reference range was influenced by, among other things, companies exhibiting similar characteristics to Verra Mobility around key financial metrics, including: (i) companies with similar revenue growth profiles (such as Global Payments Inc. ("Global Payments"), Worldpay, Inc. ("Worldpay"), FleetCor Technologies, Inc. ("FleetCor") and WEX Inc. ("WEX")); (ii) companies with similar EBITDA margins (such as Worldpay and FleetCor); and (iii) companies with similar cash flow characteristics (such as Global Payments, WEX, Fiserv, Inc. and Worldpay). While Kapsch TrafficCom AG and init innovation in traffic systems SE similarly provide smart transportation solutions, Moelis considered their relevance to be limited due to their constrained geographic and market presence and greater emphasis on hardware compared to Verra Mobility, as well as their smaller scale and substantially lower margins, all of which Moelis considered to be indicative of lower valuations.

        Moelis applied the reference range multiples to the Company's estimates of (i) Adjusted EBITDA for CY2018; (ii) PF Adjusted EBITDA for CY2018; and (iii) Adjusted EBITDA for CY2019. This analysis indicated the following implied total enterprise value ranges for Verra Mobility as compared to the $2,404 million consideration:

Reference Range

2019 Adjusted EBITDA

  $2,890 - $3,360   $ 2,404  

        Selected Precedent Transactions Analysis.    Moelis reviewed financial information of certain selected transactions involving companies in the financial technology and industrial technology industries it viewed as generally relevant in analyzing Verra Mobility. In performing this analysis, Moelis reviewed

188


Table of Contents

certain financial information and transaction multiples relating to companies that, among other things, met the following criteria: (i) industrial technology companies with a focus on parking / traffic management or cash management; (ii) financial technology companies with a focus on payment processing; (iii) transactions announced within the past 5 years; and (iv) companies whose core business was located in the U.S. and Europe. Moelis reviewed implied transaction values of the selected transactions as a multiple, to the extent information was publicly available, of the relevant acquired company's EBITDA for the latest twelve-month period ("LTM") for which financial information was publicly available immediately preceding announcement of the relevant transaction. Financial data for the relevant transactions was based on publicly available information at the time of announcement of the relevant transaction (unless otherwise noted below).

Table of Contents

        In reviewing the characteristics of the selected precedent transactions for purposes of determining a reference range, Moelis noted that the transactions reviewed had an overall mean of 18.2x and an overall median of 18.8x. Moelis considered the Diebold Inc. / Wincor Nixdorf AG ("Wincor") transaction to be less relevant due to Wincor's higher dependence on hardware sales and its Europe-centric operations. Moelis also noted that all of the data underlying the selected precedent transactions, except the Silver Lake Management LLC & P2 Capital Partners, LLC / Blackhawk Network Holdings, Inc. transaction, pre-dated (and/or does not reflect the impact of) the federal tax legislation enacted in December 2017 ("Tax Reform"). Moelis believes that, theoretically, all else being equal, Tax Reform should lead to higher valuations in most instances.

        Based on the foregoing analysis and using its professional judgment, Moelis applied the following reference range multiples: (i) 17.0 - 19.0x LTM 3/31/18 Adjusted EBITDA and (ii) 17.0 - 19.0x LTM 3/31/18 PF Adjusted EBITDA. This analysis indicated the following implied total enterprise value ranges for Verra Mobility, as compared to the $2,404 million consideration:

Reference Range
  Implied
Valuation Range
  Implied Total
Enterprise
Value Range ($MM)
  Consideration
($MM)
 

LTM 3/31/18 Adjusted EBITDA

  17.0x - 19.0x   $3,270 - $3,660   $ 2,404  

LTM 3/31/18 PF Adjusted EBITDA

  17.0x - 19.0x   $3,580 - $4,000   $ 2,404  

        While not considered for valuation purposes, Moelis also identified relevant transactions in the above list of selected prior transactions that did not have publicly available multiples. In particular, Moelis requested, but did not receive, valuation data for the three transactions involving Verra Mobility (Platinum Equity's original acquisition of Verra Mobility (which we refer to in this section "—Opinion of the Company's Financial Advisor" as the "Original Acquisition"), Verra Mobility's acquisition of HTA and Verra Mobility's acquisition of EPC). Accordingly, Moelis was unable to confirm market speculation regarding the valuation multiples for these transactions (which valuation multiples were reportedly lower than the reference range multiples set forth above) and with the Board's consent, these multiples were not used in Moelis' analysis. Moelis believed that these transactions were less relevant to its analysis for several reasons, including that Verra Mobility has more attractive financial characteristics pro forma for the HTA and EPC acquisitions, as described in greater detail below. In any event, Moelis does not believe inclusion of this data would have changed its final conclusion.

        Moelis considered the Original Acquisition less relevant because, among other reasons, (i) Verra Mobility has experienced significant revenue growth since the closing of the Original Acquisition; (ii) Verra Mobility's projected next twelve months (or NTM) revenue growth is much higher than the twelve months of actual revenue growth following the Original Acquisition; (iii) since the Original Acquisition, Verra Mobility's mix of revenues by product has shifted to higher-margin products; and (iv) Verra Mobility has experienced significant growth since the Original Acquisition in Adjusted EBITDA and margin percentage. Moelis also considered the fact that the average NTM EBITDA multiple of certain selected public companies that Moelis considered relevant increased meaningfully since the Original Acquisition. In addition, the Original Acquisition was pre-Tax Reform, and, as noted above, Moelis believes that, theoretically, all else being equal, Tax Reform should lead to higher valuations in most instances.

    Discounted Cash Flow Analysis.

        Moelis performed a discounted cash flow ("DCF") analysis of Verra Mobility for the second half of CY2018 to calendar year 2022 ("CY2022") using the financial forecasts and other information and data provided by the Company's management to calculate the estimated present value of the future unlevered after-tax free cash flows projected to be generated by Verra Mobility, including terminal free

190


Table of Contents

cash flows. Unlevered after-tax free cash flow estimates through CY2022 and terminal free cash flows were discounted to June 30, 2018.

        In performing the DCF analysis of Verra Mobility, Moelis reflected the Company's management's estimated tax rate for Verra Mobility of 26.2% during the projection period and terminal year. Additionally, in performing the DCF analysis of Verra Mobility, Moelis utilized a range of discount rates of 8.75% to 10.0% based on the Company's estimated weighted average cost of capital ("WACC"). The estimated WACC range was derived using the capital asset pricing model. The foregoing range of discount rates was used to calculate estimated present values as of June 30, 2018 of (i) Verra Mobility's estimated after-tax unlevered free cash flows for the second half of 2018 through CY2022, and (ii) estimated terminal values derived by applying a perpetuity growth rate of 2.0% to 3.0% to Verra Mobility's terminal unlevered free cash flow projection, which implied a terminal multiple range of 8.8x to 12.3x Vera Mobility's estimated Adjusted EBITDA for CY2022. This analysis indicated the following implied enterprise value range for Verra Mobility, as compared to the $2,404 million consideration:

Miscellaneous

        This summary of the analyses is not a complete description of Moelis' opinion or the analyses underlying, and factors considered in connection with, Moelis' opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex analytical process and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Selecting portions of the analyses or summary set forth above, without considering the analyses as a whole, could create an incomplete view of the processes underlying Moelis' opinion. In arriving at its fairness determination, Moelis considered the results of all of its analyses and did not attribute any particular weight to any factor or analysis. Rather, Moelis made its fairness determination on the basis of its experience and professional judgment after considering the results of all of its analyses.

        No company or transaction used in the analyses described above is identical to Verra Mobility or the Business Combination. In addition, such analyses do not purport to be appraisals, nor do they necessarily reflect the prices at which businesses or securities actually may be sold. Analyses based upon forecasts of future results are not necessarily indicative of actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by such analyses. Because the analyses described above are inherently subject to uncertainty and based upon numerous factors or events beyond the control of the parties or their respective advisors, none of the Company, Moelis or any other person assumes responsibility if future results are materially different from those forecast.

        The Consideration was determined through arms' length negotiations between the Company and Verra Mobility and was approved by the Board. Moelis did not recommend any specific consideration to the Company or the Board, or that any specific amount or type of consideration constituted the only appropriate consideration for the Business Combination.

        Moelis was engaged by the Company to provide its opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the Company of the Consideration pursuant to the engagement letter between Moelis and the Company, dated May 30, 2018 (the "Engagement Letter"), and will receive a fee for its services of $1,000,000 in the aggregate, $250,000 of which became payable in connection with the delivery of its opinion, regardless of the conclusion reached therein, and the remainder of which is contingent upon completion of the Business Combination. No part of Moelis' fee is conditioned upon the conclusion expressed in its opinion. The Company has also agreed in the Engagement Letter to reimburse Moelis for certain expenses Moelis has incurred in performing services pursuant to the Engagement Letter,

191


Table of Contents

and to indemnify Moelis for certain liabilities, including liabilities under the federal securities laws, arising out of its engagement.

        Moelis' affiliates, employees, officers and partners may at any time own securities (long or short) of the Company and Verra Mobility. Moelis has provided investment banking and other services to affiliates of the Company and affiliates of Verra Mobility and in the future may provide services to such persons and have received and may receive compensation for such services. Moelis is currently providing investment banking and other services to (i) portfolio companies of an affiliate of the Platinum Stockholder and (ii) a portfolio company of an affiliate of the Company, and may receive compensation for such services. In the past two years prior to the date of the Opinion, Moelis (i) provided capital markets advisory services and provided a fairness opinion to an affiliate of the Company and (ii) acted as a financial advisor to a portfolio company of an affiliate of the Platinum Stockholder. Moelis' fees in connection with such services over the past two years totaled (i) $2 million in the aggregate for services provided to an affiliate of the Company and (ii) $2.1 million in the aggregate for services provided to a portfolio company of an affiliate of the Platinum Stockholder.

        The Board selected Moelis as its financial advisor in connection with the Business Combination because Moelis has substantial experience in similar transactions and familiarity with the Company. Moelis is regularly engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, strategic transactions, corporate restructurings, and valuations for corporate and other purposes.

Independent Director Oversight

        Our Board is comprised of a majority of independent directors who are not affiliated with our Sponsor and its affiliates, including The Gores Group. In connection with the Business Combination, our independent directors, Messrs. Randall Bort, William Patton and Jeffrey Rea, took an active role in evaluating and negotiating the proposed terms of the Business Combination, including the Merger Agreement, the Related Agreements and the amendments to our current certificate of incorporation to take effect upon the completion of the Business Combination. As part of their evaluation of the Business Combination, our independent directors were aware of the potential conflicts of interest with our Sponsor and its affiliates, including The Gores Group, that could arise with regard to the proposed terms of the (i) Merger Agreement, (ii) the Private Placement and (iii) amendments to our current certificate of incorporation to take effect upon the completion of the Business Combination (including a provision that certain transactions are not "corporate opportunities" and that certain persons, including the Greenlight Stockholders and their affiliates, are not subject to the doctrine of corporate opportunity and the exclusion of The Gores Group and Platinum Equity and their affiliates and transferees as "interested stockholders" from the restrictions in our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that are similar to Section 203 of the DGCL). The Board did not deem it necessary to, and did not form, a special committee of the Board to exclusively evaluate and negotiate the proposed terms of the Business Combination, as the Board is comprised of a majority of independent and disinterested directors and did not deem the formation of a special committee necessary or appropriate. Our independent directors reviewed and considered these interests during the negotiation of the Business Combination and in evaluating and unanimously approving, as members of the Board, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, including the Business Combination. Please see the section entitled "Proposal No. 1—Approval of the Business Combination—Independent Director Oversight."

The Company's Board of Directors' Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination

        The Board, in evaluating the transaction with Verra Mobility, consulted with the Company's management and its legal counsel, financial advisors and other advisors. In reaching its unanimous resolution (i) that the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and the transactions

192


Table of Contents

contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and (ii) to recommend that the stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, the Board considered and evaluated a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the factors discussed below. In light of the number and wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination, the Board did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors that it considered in reaching its determination and supporting its decision. The Board viewed its decision as being based on all of the information available and the factors presented to and considered by it. In addition, individual directors may have given different weight to different factors. This explanation of the Company's reasons for the Business Combination and all other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" beginning on page [    ·    ] of this document.

        The Board considered a number of factors pertaining to the Business Combination as generally supporting its decision to enter into the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including but not limited to, the following material factors:

    Market Leadership with Highly Differentiated and Proprietary Platforms.  Verra Mobility believes it is a leading provider of tech-enabled smart transportation solutions, including market-leading positions for integrated toll management services in North America and road safety cameras in the United States. The Board noted Verra Mobility's superior scale, comprehensive and diverse product platforms, and robust portfolio of patents and other proprietary technology, which the Board believes positions Verra Mobility for future growth and profitability.

    Business and Financial Condition and Prospects.  The knowledge and familiarity of the Board and the Company's management with Verra Mobility's business, financial condition, results of operations (including Verra Mobility's favorable margins) and future growth prospects. The Board considered Verra Mobility's established customer relationships and its recurring revenue model that has displayed strong revenue growth in recent years. The Board discussed Verra Mobility's current prospects for growth in executing upon and achieving Verra Mobility's business plans, and noted strong industry tailwinds as well as multiple opportunities for sustained, organic growth across existing and new product categories in both domestic and international markets.

    Experienced and Proven Management Team.  The Board considered the fact that the post-combination company will be led by the senior management team of Verra Mobility which, with over 150 years of collective experience, has a proven track record of operational excellence, financial performance, growth and ongoing capabilities for innovation.

    Opinion of the Company's Financial Advisor.  The opinion of Moelis, dated June 20, 2018, addressed to the Board as to the fairness, from a financial point of view and as of the date of such opinion, of the consideration to be paid by the Company in the Business Combination which opinion was based on and subject to the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations and qualifications set forth in such opinion as more fully described above under the caption "Proposal No. 1—Approval of the Business Combination—Opinion of the Company's Financial Advisor."

    Other Alternatives.  The Board's belief, after a thorough review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to the Company, that the proposed Business Combination represents the best potential business combination for the Company based upon the process utilized to evaluate and assess other potential acquisition targets, and the Board's and management's belief that such processes had not presented a better alternative.

193


Table of Contents

    Terms of the Merger Agreement.  The Board considered the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination.

    Independent Director Role.  The Board is comprised of a majority of independent directors who are not affiliated with our Sponsor and its affiliates, including The Gores Group. In connection with the Business Combination, our independent directors, Messrs. Randall Bort, William Patton and Jeffrey Rea, took an active role in evaluating and negotiating the proposed terms of the Business Combination, including the Merger Agreement, the Related Agreements and the amendments to our current certificate of incorporation to take effect upon the completion of the Business Combination. Our independent directors evaluated and unanimously approved, as members of the Board, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, including the Business Combination.

        The Company's board of directors also considered a variety of uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Business Combination, including, but not limited to, the following:

    Benefits Not Achieved.  The risk that the potential benefits of the Business Combination may not be fully achieved, or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe.

    Liquidation of the Company.  The risks and costs to the Company if the Business Combination is not completed, including the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other businesses combination opportunities, which could result in the Company being unable to effect a business combination by January 19, 2019 and force the Company to liquidate and the warrants to expire worthless.

    Exclusivity.  The fact that the Merger Agreement includes an exclusivity provision that prohibits the Company from soliciting other business combination proposals, which restricts the Company's ability to consider other potential business combinations to complete prior to January 19, 2019.

    Stockholder Vote.  The risk that the Company's stockholders may fail to provide the respective votes necessary to effect the Business Combination.

    Closing Conditions.  The fact that completion of the Business Combination is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain closing conditions that are not within the Company's control.

    Litigation.  The possibility of litigation challenging the Business Combination or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin consummation of the Business Combination.

    Fees and Expenses.  The fees and expenses associated with completing the Business Combination.

    Other Risks.  Various other risks associated with the Business Combination, the business of the Company and the business of Verra Mobility described under "Risk Factors" beginning on page [    ·    ] of this document.

        In addition to considering the factors described above, the Board also considered that:

    Interests of Certain Persons.  Some officers and directors of the Company may have interests in the Business Combination as individuals that are in addition to, and that may be different from, the interests of the Company's stockholders (see "Proposal No. 1—Approval of the Business Combination—Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination" beginning on page [    ·    ] of this document). Our independent directors reviewed and considered these interests during the negotiation of the Business Combination and in evaluating and unanimously approving, as members of the Board, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, including the Business Combination.

194


Table of Contents

        The Board concluded that the potential benefits that it expected the Company and its stockholders to achieve as a result of the Business Combination outweighed the potentially negative factors associated with the Business Combination. Accordingly, the Board unanimously determined that the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, were advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its stockholders.

Satisfaction of 80% Test

        It is a requirement under our current certificate of incorporation and Nasdaq listing requirements that the business or assets acquired in our initial business combination have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for our initial business combination. As of June 21, 2018, the date of the execution of the Merger Agreement, the fair value of investment securities held in the Trust Account was approximately $404,393,276 (excluding $14,000,000 of deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) and 80% thereof represents approximately $323,514,621. In reaching its conclusion that the Business Combination meets the 80% asset test, our Board reviewed the enterprise value of Verra Mobility of approximately $2.4 billion implied by adding: (i) approximately $652,000,000 of equity consideration in the post-combination company to be issued to the Greenlight Stockholders; (ii) approximately $642,484,000 (excluding transaction costs incurred by Verra Mobility) of cash consideration payable to the Greenlight Stockholders at the closing of the Business Combination; (iii) the assumption of approximately $852,000,000 of Verra Mobility's existing net indebtedness; (iv) the repayment of approximately $132,516,000 of Greenlight's existing indebtedness; (v) the payment of approximately $25,000,000 of certain transaction costs; and (vi) approximately $100,000,000 of Founder Shares retained by our Initial Stockholders (prior to giving effect to the cancellation of approximately 3,478,261 of such shares). In determining whether the enterprise value described above represents the fair market value of Verra Mobility, our Board considered all of the factors described above in this section and the fact that the purchase price for Verra Mobility was the result of an arm's length negotiation. As a result, our Board concluded that the fair market value of the business acquired was significantly in excess of 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account).

Certain Company Projected Financial Information

        In May 2018, Verra Mobility provided the Company with its internally prepared projections for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2018 through December 31, 2022. The prospective financial information was not prepared with a view towards compliance with the published guidelines of the SEC or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information. These projections were prepared solely for internal use, and capital budgeting and other management purposes, and are subjective in many respects and therefore susceptible to varying interpretations and the need for periodic revision based on actual experience and business developments, and were not intended for third-party use, including by investors or holders. You are cautioned not to rely on the projections in making a decision regarding the transaction, as the projections may be materially different than actual results.

        The projections reflect numerous assumptions including assumptions with respect to general business, economic, market, regulatory and financial conditions and various other factors, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond Verra Mobility's control, such as the risks and uncertainties contained in the section entitled "Risk Factors." The material assumptions underlying the projections included the projected market growth rates for the various segments which Verra Mobility participates, a review of the material customer contracts on the tolling and violations business,

195


Table of Contents

projections for Verra Mobility's automated safety solutions, including red light, school bus, speed and bus lane, a review of European revenue opportunities following the EPC acquistion and growth from new products. The projections reflect the consistent application of the accounting policies of Verra Mobility and should be read in conjunction with the accounting policies included in Note 1 to the accompanying the historical audited consolidated financial statement of Verra Mobility included in this proxy statement.

        The financial projections for revenue and costs are forward-looking statements that are based on growth assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond Verra Mobility's control. While all projections are necessarily speculative, Verra Mobility believes that the prospective financial information covering periods beyond 12 months from its date of preparation carries increasingly higher levels of uncertainty and should be read in that context. There will be differences between actual and projected results, and actual results may be materially greater or materially less than those contained in the projections. The inclusion of the projections in this proxy statement should not be regarded as an indication that Verra Mobility or its representatives considered or currently consider the projections to be a reliable prediction of future events, and reliance should not be placed on the projections.

        The projections were requested by, and disclosed to, the Company for use as a component in its overall evaluation of Verra Mobility, and are included in this proxy statement because they were provided to the Board for its evaluation of the Business Combination and were provided to Moelis for its use in connection with its financial analyses and opinion to the Board, as described in the section entitled "—Opinion of the Company's Financial Advisor" above and as set forth as Annex E to this proxy statement. Verra Mobility has not warranted the accuracy, reliability, appropriateness or completeness of the projections to anyone, including to the Company. Neither Verra Mobility's management nor any of its representatives has made or makes any representation to any person regarding the ultimate performance of Verra Mobility compared to the information contained in the projections, and none of them intends to or undertakes any obligation to update or otherwise revise the projections to reflect circumstances existing after the date when made or to reflect the occurrence of future events in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying the projections are shown to be in error. Accordingly, they should not be looked upon as "guidance" of any sort. Verra Mobility will not refer back to these forecasts in its future periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act.

        The projections were prepared by, and are the responsibility of, Verra Mobility's management. EY, Verra Mobility's independent registered public accounting firm, has not examined, compiled or otherwise performed procedures with respect to the accompanying prospective financial information presented herein and, accordingly, expresses no opinion or any other form of assurance on it. The EY report included in this proxy statement relates to historical financial information of Verra Mobility. It does not extend to the projections and should not be read as if it does.

Unlevered after-tax free cash flows and terminal value are discounted to June 30, 2018.

(3)
Represents the blended tax rate based on 2019 U.S. and Europe contribution to EBITDA. The Company assumed a U.S. Federal and State tax rate of 26% and an European tax rate of 30%. Tax assumptions do not account for the tax savings related to step up amortization from the acquisition of HTA as well as the negative impact from the Tax Receivable Agreement. As a result of the acquisition of HTA, the basis of acquired assets was written up to fair market value and the intangible asset that was created is being amortized over a period of 15 years. The total step up amount is $534 million which results in $35.6 million of annual amortization which will continue to run through Q1 2033. This tax benefit is subject to the terms outlined in the Tax Receivable Agreement. The overall impact of the step up amount and the Tax Receivable Agreement are expected to create a tax benefit relative to the numbers shown which was valued by Moelis as having a NPV of between approximately $37 and $39 million based on a discount range of 8.75% to 10.00%. This tax benefit is defined as the "Historical Tax Benefits" in the section "—Opinion of the Company's Financial Advisor."

(4)
Terminal year free cash flows equals 2022P free cash flows adjusted to reflect the Company's management's views on long-run capex (~$20 million); depreciation assumed to equal capex in terminal year per the Company's management. The analysis also assumes $0 amortization in the terminal year. The intangible asset is to be fully amortized by 2024P.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination

        In considering the recommendation of our Board to vote in favor of the Business Combination, stockholders should be aware that aside from their interests as stockholders, our Sponsor and certain members of our Board and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of other stockholders generally. Our Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating and negotiating the Business Combination, and in recommending to stockholders that they approve the Business Combination. Stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Business Combination.

198


Table of Contents

        These interests include, among other things:

    the fact that our Initial Stockholders have agreed not to redeem any of the Founder Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;

    the fact that our Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to conversion price adjustments with respect to any shares of our Common Stock they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination;

    the fact that our Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for 10,781,250 Founder Shares and (after giving effect to the cancellation of (i) 781,250 Founder Shares on February 27, 2017 and (ii) approximately 3,478,261 Founder Shares at the time of the Business Combination) the remaining 6,521,739 Founder Shares will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination, which if unrestricted and freely tradable would be valued at approximately $65,217,390 but, given the restrictions on such shares, we believe such shares have less value;

    the fact that our Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if we fail to complete an initial business combination by January 19, 2019;

    the fact that our Sponsor paid an aggregate of approximately $10,000,000 for its 6,666,666 Private Placement Warrants to purchase shares of Class A Stock and that such Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless if a business combination is not consummated by January 19, 2019;

    the continued right of our Sponsor to hold our Class A Stock and the shares of Class A Stock to be issued to our Sponsor upon exercise of its Private Placement Warrants following the Business Combination, subject to certain lock-up periods;

    if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, our Sponsor has agreed to indemnify us to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.00 per public share, or such lesser per public share amount as is in the Trust Account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which we have entered into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party (other than our independent public accountants) for services rendered or products sold to us, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account;

    the anticipated continuation of two of our existing directors, Messrs. Randall Bort and Jeffrey Rea, as directors of the post-combination company;

    the continued indemnification of our existing directors and officers and the continuation of our directors' and officers' liability insurance after the Business Combination;

    the fact that our Sponsor, officers and directors will lose their entire investment in us and will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses if an initial business combination is not consummated by January 19, 2019;

    that, as described in the Charter Approval Proposal and reflected in Annex C, our proposed Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation will be amended to exclude The Gores Group and Platinum Equity and each of their successors, certain affiliates and each of their respective transferees as "interested parties" from the list of prohibited business combinations not in compliance with Section 203 of the DGCL;

199


Table of Contents

    that, at the closing of the Business Combination we will enter into the Registration Rights Agreement with the Restricted Stockholders, which provides for registration rights to Restricted Stockholders and their permitted transferees;

    that certain employees and affiliates of our Sponsor have committed to purchase up to 4,203,795 shares of Class A Stock in the Private Placement for an aggregate commitment of approximately $38,674,914; and

    the fact that Alec Gores, our Chairman, is the brother of Tom Gores, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Platinum Equity, and that Tom Gores and certain employees and affiliates of Platinum Equity would participate in the Private Placement. Platinum Equity currently holds a controlling stake in Verra Mobility through the Platinum Stockholder, which will receive all of the cash consideration and a portion of the stock consideration to be paid in connection with the business combination. The Platinum Stockholder will retain approximately 34% of voting power in the post-combination company assuming no share redemptions and 47% of voting power assuming maximum share redemptions. The Platinum Stockholder will also have the right to nominate up to three directors to the post-closing company's board of directors, of whom one will initially be the current Chief Executive Officer of Verra Mobility as a Class II director and the other two will initially be representatives of the Platinum Stockholder as Class III directors. In addition, if one of the Platinum Stockholder's nominees is elected, one of the Platinum Stockholder's nominees will serve as the chairman of the board of directors and the Platinum Stockholder will have the right to appoint one representative to each committee of the board of the post-closing company. The Platinum Stockholder's right to nominate directors to the post-closing company's board is subject to maintaining its ownership percentage of the total outstanding shares of Class A Stock at certain levels as discussed elsewhere in this proxy statement.

        These interests may influence our directors in making their recommendation that you vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination.

Potential Purchases of Public Shares

        In connection with the stockholder vote to approve the proposed Business Combination, our Sponsor, directors or officers or their respective affiliates may privately negotiate transactions to purchase shares from stockholders who would have otherwise elected to have their shares redeemed in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules for a per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. None of our directors or officers or their respective affiliates will make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller or during a restricted period under Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Such a purchase would include a contractual acknowledgement that such stockholder, although still the record holder of our shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights, and would include a contractual provision that directs such stockholder to vote such shares in a manner directed by the purchaser. In the event that our Sponsor, directors or officers or their affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from public stockholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling stockholders would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be effected at purchase prices that are in excess of the per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. The purpose of such purchases would be to increase the likelihood of obtaining stockholder approval of the Business Combination.

Total Company Shares to be Issued in the Business Combination

        It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Business Combination: (i) the Company's public stockholders (other than the Private Placement Investors) will retain an ownership interest of approximately 26% in the post-combination company; (ii) the Private Placement Investors will own approximately 28% of the post-combination company (such that public stockholders, including Private Placement Investors, will own approximately 54% of the post-combination company); (iii) our Initial Stockholders will own approximately 4% of the post-combination company, after giving effect to the cancellation of approximately 3,478,261 Founder Shares held by our Sponsor without giving effect to the expected distribution of Founder Shares to members of our Sponsor immediately prior to closing; and (iv) the Greenlight Stockholders will own approximately 42% of the post-combination company. These levels of ownership interest assume that no shares are elected to be redeemed. The Private Placement Investors have agreed to purchase in the aggregate approximately 43,478,261 shares of Class A Stock, for approximately $400,000,000 of gross proceeds, in the Private Placement. In this proxy statement, we assume that approximately $400,000,000 of the gross proceeds from the Private Placement, in addition to $400,000,000 of the funds from the Trust Account, will be used to fund the cash consideration payable pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the repayment of approximately $132,515,647 of Greenlight's existing indebtedness and the payment of certain transaction expenses. The ownership percentage with respect to the post-combination company following the Business Combination (a) does not take into account (1) warrants to purchase Class A Stock that will remain outstanding immediately following the Business Combination or (2) the issuance of any shares upon completion of the Business Combination under the Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement as Annex I, but (b) does include Founder Shares, which will be converted into shares of Class A Stock at the closing of the Business Combination on a one-for-one basis (after giving effect to the cancellation of approximately 3,478,261 of such shares and even though such shares of Class A Stock will be subject to transfer restrictions). If the actual facts are different than these assumptions (which they are likely to be), the percentage ownership retained by the Company's existing stockholders in the post-combination company will be different. For more information, please see the sections entitled "Summary of the Proxy Statement—Impact of the Business Combination on the Company's Public Float" and "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information."

Board of Directors of the Company Following the Business Combination

        Upon consummation of the Business Combination, our Board anticipates increasing its initial size from four directors to seven directors, with each Class I director having a term that expires at the post-combination company's annual meeting of stockholders in 2019, each Class II director having a term that expires at the post-combination company's annual meeting of stockholders in 2020 and each Class III director having a term that expires at the post-combination company's annual meeting of stockholders in 2021, or in each case until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier resignation, removal or death. As discussed above, in connection with the Business Combination, Messrs. Randall Bort, Jacob Kotzubei, Bryan Kelln, Jeffrey Rea, David Roberts, Jay Geldmacher and John Rexford have each been nominated to serve as directors of the post-combination company upon completion of the Business Combination. Please see the sections entitled "Proposal No. 5—Election of Directors to the Board of Directors" and "Management after the Business Combination" for additional information.

Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws

        Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon the closing of the Business Combination, our current certificate of incorporation will be amended promptly to:

    amend the current certificate of incorporation to authorize additional shares of Class A Stock and reduce the Class F Stock to zero;

    cause the conversion of our outstanding shares of Class F Stock into Class A Stock and make certain conforming changes;

    change the stockholder vote required to amend certain provisions of the post-combination company's certificate of incorporation;

    elect not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL and, instead, include a provision in our certificate of incorporation that is substantially similar to Section 203 of the DGCL, but excludes the investment funds affiliated with The Gores Group and Platinum Equity and each of their respective successors and affiliates from the definition of "interested stockholder," and to make certain related changes;

    change our name to "Verra Mobility Corporation";

    revise our waiver regarding corporate opportunities;

    remove certain provisions related to our status as a blank check company;

    make certain other changes that our Board deems appropriate for a public operating company; and

    make conforming changes to reflect that the certificate of incorporation of the post-combination company will be the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and provide other clarifying language.

    For additional information, please see the sections entitled "Proposal No. 3—Approval of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation." and "Proposal No. 4—Approval of Certain Governance Provisions in the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation."

Name; Headquarters

        The name of the post-combination company after the Business Combination will be Verra Mobility Corporation and our headquarters will be located at 1150 N. Alma School Road, Mesa, Arizona 85201.

Redemption Rights

        Pursuant to our current certificate of incorporation, holders of public shares may elect to have their shares redeemed for cash at the applicable redemption price per share calculated in accordance with our current certificate of incorporation. As of June 30, 2018, the redemption price would have been approximately $10.12 per share. If a holder exercises its redemption rights, then such holder will be exchanging its shares of our Class A Stock for cash and will no longer own shares of the post-combination company. Such a holder will be entitled to receive cash for its public shares only if it properly demands redemption and delivers its shares (either physically or electronically) to our Transfer Agent in accordance with the procedures described herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of the public shares, together with any affiliate of his or her or any other person with whom he or she is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from exercising redemption rights with respect to more than twenty percent (20%) of the shares of Class A Stock included in the units sold in our IPO. Accordingly, all public shares in excess of the 20% threshold beneficially owned by a public stockholder or group will not be redeemed for cash.

203


Table of Contents

        We have no specified maximum redemption threshold under our current certificate of incorporation, other than the aforementioned 20% threshold. Each redemption of shares of Class A Stock by our public stockholders will reduce the amount in our Trust Account, which held cash and investment securities with a fair value of approximately $404,611,945 as of June 30, 2018. The Merger Agreement provides that our obligation to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on the amount in the Trust Account and the proceeds from the Private Placement equaling or exceeding $550,000,000. The obligation of Greenlight to consummate the Business Combination is conditioned on the amount of the Trust Account and the proceeds from the Private Placement equaling or exceeding $600,000,000. These conditions to closing in the Merger Agreement are for the sole benefit of the parties thereto and may be waived by such parties. If, as a result of redemptions of Class A Stock by our public stockholders, these conditions are not met (or waived), then we or Greenlight (as applicable) may elect not to consummate the Business Combination. In addition, in no event will we redeem shares of our Class A Stock in an amount that would result in the Company's failure to have net tangible assets in excess of $5,000,000. Please see the section entitled "Special Meeting in Lieu of 2018 Annual Meeting of Company Stockholders—Redemption Rights" for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your shares for cash.

Appraisal Rights

        Appraisal rights are not available to our stockholders in connection with the Business Combination.

Accounting Treatment

        The Business Combination will be accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations ("ASC 805"), with the Company treated as the legal acquirer.

        Should the Company's public stockholder redemptions exceed the level whereby the Greenlight Stockholders retain control of the post-combination company (maximum redemption scenario), then Greenlight will be considered the acquirer for accounting purposes, notwithstanding the legal form of the Business Combination. This is referred to as reverse merger accounting. Under the no redemption scenario, where no redemptions occur, Greenlight will also be considered the acquirer for accounting purposes, and reverse merger accounting applied. This determination was primarily based on the following factors:

    Greenlight comprises the ongoing operations of the post-combination company and its size relative to the Company

    The ongoing senior management of the post-combination company will be entirely comprised of Greenlight employees.

    The size of the interest of the Greenlight Stockholders relative to the other interests.

    The planned initial composition of the Board includes the CEO of Verra Mobility, as well as designees of the Greenlight Stockholders.

        Accordingly, under reverse merger accounting, the net assets of the Company will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations for Stockholders Exercising Redemption Rights

        The following is a discussion of material U.S. federal income tax considerations for holders of our shares of Class A Stock that elect to have their Class A Stock redeemed for cash if the Business

204


Table of Contents

Combination is completed. This discussion applies only to Class A Stock that is held as a capital asset for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This discussion does not describe all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to you in light of your particular circumstances, including the alternative minimum tax, the Medicare tax on certain investment income and the different consequences that may apply if you are subject to special rules that apply to certain types of investors, such as:

    banks and financial institutions;

    insurance companies;

    brokers and dealers in securities, currencies or commodities;

    dealers or traders in securities subject to a mark-to-market method of accounting with respect to shares of Class A Stock;

    regulated investment companies and real estate investment trusts;

    governmental organizations and qualified foreign pension funds;

    persons holding Class A Stock as part of a "straddle," hedge, integrated transaction or similar transaction;

    U.S. holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

    partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and investors in such entities);

    certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States;

    controlled foreign corporations and passive foreign investment companies; and

    tax-exempt entities.

        If a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds shares of Class A Stock, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the partners in the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partners and the activities of the partnership. Partners in partnerships holding shares of Class A Stock should consult their tax advisors.

        This discussion is based on the Code and administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations as of the date hereof, changes to any of which subsequent to the date of this proxy statement may affect the tax consequences described herein. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the tax considerations described below. No advance ruling has been or will be sought from the IRS regarding any matter discussed in this summary. This discussion does not address any aspect of state, local or non-U.S. taxation, or any U.S. federal taxes other than income taxes (such as gift and estate taxes).

        You are urged to consult your tax advisor with respect to the application of U.S. federal tax laws to your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction.

Redemption of Class A Stock

        In the event that a holder's shares of Class A Stock are redeemed pursuant to the redemption provisions described in this proxy statement under the section entitled "Special Meeting in Lieu of 2018 Annual Meeting of Company Stockholders—Redemption Rights," the treatment of the redemption for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale or other exchange of shares of Class A Stock under Section 302 of the Code. If the redemption qualifies as a

205


Table of Contents

sale of shares of Class A Stock, a U.S. holder (as defined below) will be treated as described below under the section entitled "U.S. holders—Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Stock," and a Non-U.S. holder (as defined below) will be treated as described under the section entitled "Non-U.S. holders—Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Stock." If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of shares of Class A Stock, a holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution with the tax consequences to a U.S. holder described below under the section entitled "U.S. holders—Taxation of Distributions," and the tax consequences to a Non-U.S. holder described below under the section entitled "Non-U.S. holders—Taxation of Distributions."

        Whether a redemption of shares of Class A Stock qualifies for sale treatment will depend largely on the total number of shares of our stock treated as held by the redeemed holder before and after the redemption (including any stock constructively owned by the holder as a result of owning warrants and any of our stock that a holder would directly or indirectly acquire pursuant to the Business Combination or the Private Placement) relative to all of our shares outstanding both before and after the redemption. The redemption of Class A Stock generally will be treated as a sale of Class A Stock (rather than as a corporate distribution) if the redemption (i) is "substantially disproportionate" with respect to the holder, (ii) results in a "complete termination" of the holder's interest in us or (iii) is "not essentially equivalent to a dividend" with respect to the holder. These tests are explained more fully below.

        In determining whether any of the foregoing tests result in a redemption qualifying for sale treatment, a holder takes into account not only shares of our stock actually owned by the holder, but also shares of our stock that are constructively owned by it under certain attribution rules set forth in the Code. A holder may constructively own, in addition to stock owned directly, stock owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the holder has an interest or that have an interest in such holder, as well as any stock that the holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include Class A Stock which could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the warrants. Moreover, any of our stock that a holder directly or constructively acquires pursuant to the Business Combination or the Private Placement should be included in determining the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the redemption.

        In order to meet the substantially disproportionate test, the percentage of our outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the holder immediately following the redemption of shares of Class A Stock must, among other requirements, be less than eighty percent (80%) of the percentage of our outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the holder immediately before the redemption (taking into account both redemptions by other holders of Class A Stock and the Class A Stock to be issued pursuant to the Business Combination). There will be a complete termination of a holder's interest if either (i) all of the shares of our stock actually and constructively owned by the holder are redeemed or (ii) all of the shares of our stock actually owned by the holder are redeemed and the holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of stock owned by certain family members and the holder does not constructively own any other stock. The redemption of Class A Stock will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if the redemption results in a "meaningful reduction" of the holder's proportionate interest in us. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a holder's proportionate interest in us will depend on the particular facts and circumstances.

        However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority stockholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a "meaningful reduction."

        If none of the foregoing tests is satisfied, then the redemption of shares of Class A Stock will be treated as a corporate distribution to the redeemed holder and the tax effects to such U.S. holder will

206


Table of Contents

be as described below under the section entitled "U.S. holders—Taxation of Distributions," and the tax effects to such Non-U.S. holder will be as described below under the section entitled "Non-U.S. holders—Taxation of Distributions." After the application of those rules, any remaining tax basis of the holder in the redeemed Class A Stock will be added to the holder's adjusted tax basis in its remaining stock, or, if it has none, to the holder's adjusted tax basis in its warrants or possibly in other stock constructively owned by it.

        A holder should consult with its own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of a redemption.

U.S. holders

        This section applies to you if you are a "U.S. holder." A U.S. holder is a beneficial owner of our shares of Class A Stock who or that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

    an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

    a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

    an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or

    a trust, if (A) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more "United States persons" (within the meaning of the Code) have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) the trust validly elected to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

        Taxation of Distributions.    If our redemption of a U.S. holder's shares of Class A Stock is treated as a distribution, as discussed above under the section entitled "Redemption of Class A Stock," such distributions generally will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in our Class A Stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the Class A Stock and will be treated as described below under the section entitled "U.S. holders—Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Stock."

        Dividends we pay to a U.S. holder that is a taxable corporation generally will qualify for the dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period is satisfied. With certain exceptions (including, but not limited to, dividends treated as investment income for purposes of investment interest deduction limitations), and provided certain holding period requirements are met, dividends we pay to a non-corporate U.S. holder generally will constitute "qualified dividends" that will be subject to tax at the maximum tax rate accorded to long-term capital gains. It is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to the Class A Stock described in this proxy statement may prevent a U.S. holder from satisfying the applicable holding period requirements with respect to the dividends received deduction or the preferential tax rate on qualified dividend income, as the case may be.

        Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Stock.    If our redemption of a U.S. holder's shares of Class A Stock is treated as a sale or other taxable disposition, as discussed above under the section entitled "Redemption of Class A Stock," a U.S. holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in the shares of Class A Stock redeemed. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder's holding period for the Class A Stock so disposed of exceeds one year. It is unclear, however, whether the redemption rights

207


Table of Contents

with respect to the Class A Stock described in this proxy statement may suspend the running of the applicable holding period for this purpose. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. holders will be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. U.S. holders who hold different blocks of Class A Stock (shares of Class A Stock purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) should consult their tax advisor to determine how the above rules apply to them.

        Generally, the amount of gain or loss recognized by a U.S. holder is an amount equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received in such disposition and (ii) the U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in its Class A Stock so disposed of. A U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in its Class A Stock generally will equal the U.S. holder's acquisition cost less any prior distributions paid to such U.S. holder with respect to its shares of Class A Stock treated as a return of capital.

Non-U.S. Holders

        This section applies to you if you are a "Non-U.S. holder." A Non-U.S. holder is a beneficial owner of our Class A Stock who or that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

    a non-resident alien individual, other than certain former citizens and residents of the United States subject to U.S. tax as expatriates;

    a foreign corporation; or

    an estate or trust that is not a U.S. holder;

but does not include an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition. If you are such an individual, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of a redemption.

        Taxation of Distributions.    If our redemption of a Non-U.S. holder's shares of Class A Stock is treated as distribution, as discussed above under the section entitled "Redemption of Class A Stock," to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), such distribution will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, provided such dividends are not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder's conduct of a trade or business within the United States, we will be required to withhold tax from the gross amount of the dividend at a rate of thirty percent (30%), unless such Non-U.S. holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and timely provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E). Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the Non-U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in its shares of our Class A Stock and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the Non-U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of the Class A Stock, which will be treated as described below under the section entitled "Non-U.S. holders—Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Stock."

        The withholding tax described above does not apply to dividends paid to a Non-U.S. holder who provides an IRS Form W-8ECI, certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder's conduct of a trade or business within the United States. Instead, the effectively connected dividends will be subject to regular U.S. federal income tax as if the Non-U.S. holder were a U.S. resident, subject to an applicable income tax treaty providing otherwise. A Non-U.S. holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is receiving effectively connected dividends may also be subject to an additional "branch profits tax" imposed at a rate of thirty percent (30%) (or a lower applicable treaty rate).

208


Table of Contents

        Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Stock.    If our redemption of a Non-U.S. holder's shares of Class A Stock is treated as a sale or other taxable disposition as discussed above under the section entitled "Redemption of Class A Stock," subject to the discussions of FATCA and backup withholding, below a Non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax in respect of gain recognized on a sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition of our Class A Stock, unless:

    the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the Non-U.S. holder within the United States (and, under certain income tax treaties, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. holder); or

    we are or have been a "United States real property holding corporation" for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or the period that the Non-U.S. holder held our Class A Stock, and, in the case where shares of our Class A Stock are regularly traded on an established securities market, the Non-U.S. holder has owned, directly or constructively, more than 5% of our Class A Stock at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the disposition or such Non-U.S. holder's holding period for the shares of our Class A Stock.

        Unless an applicable treaty provides otherwise, gain described in the first bullet point above will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates as if the Non-U.S. holder were a U.S. resident. In the event the Non-U.S. holder is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such gain may also be subject to an additional "branch profits tax" at a thirty percent (30%) rate (or lower treaty rate).

        If the second bullet point above applies to a Non-U.S. holder, gain recognized by such holder on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of shares of our Class A Stock will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, unless our Class A Stock is regularly traded on an established securities market, a buyer of our Class A Stock (we would be treated as a buyer with respect to a redemption of Class A Stock) may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax at a rate of fifteen percent (15%) of the amount realized upon such disposition. There can be no assurance that our Class A Stock will be treated as regularly traded on an established securities market. We believe that we are not and have not been at any time since our formation a United States real property holding company and we do not expect to be a United States real property holding corporation immediately after the Business Combination is completed.

        FATCA Withholding Taxes.    Provisions commonly referred to as "FATCA" impose withholding of thirty percent (30%) on payments of dividends (including constructive dividends received pursuant to a redemption of stock) on, and, after December 31, 2018, gross proceeds from the sale of our Class A Stock to "foreign financial institutions" (which is broadly defined for this purpose and in general includes investment vehicles) and certain other non-U.S. entities unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements (generally relating to ownership by U.S. persons of interests in or accounts with those entities) have been satisfied, or an exemption applies (typically certified as to by the delivery of a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN-E). If FATCA withholding is imposed, a beneficial owner that is not a foreign financial institution generally will be entitled to a refund of any amounts withheld by filing a U.S. federal income tax return (which may entail significant administrative burden). Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisers regarding the effects of FATCA on a redemption of Class A Stock.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

        Generally, information returns will be filed with the IRS in connection with payments resulting from our redemption of shares of Class A Stock.

209


Table of Contents

        Backup withholding of tax (currently at a rate of 24%) may apply to cash payments to which a U.S. holder is entitled to in connection with our redemption of shares of Class A Stock, unless the U.S. holder (i) is exempt from backup withholding and demonstrates this fact in a manner satisfactory to the paying agent or (ii) provides a taxpayer identification number, certifies that such number is correct and that such holder is not subject to backup withholding, and otherwise complies with the backup withholding rules. Each U.S. holder should complete and sign, under penalty of perjury, a Form W-9 included as part of the letter of transmittal and return it to the paying agent. Backup withholding of tax may also apply to cash payments to which a Non-U.S. holder is entitled in connection with our redemption of shares of Class A Stock, unless the Non-U.S. holder submits an IRS Form W-8BEN (or other applicable IRS Form W-8), signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to such Non-U.S. holder's status as non-U.S. person.

        The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. Holder or Non-U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit against such holder's U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Regulatory Matters

        Under the HSR Act and the rules that have been promulgated thereunder by the FTC, certain transactions may not be consummated unless information has been furnished to the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice ("Antitrust Division") and the FTC and certain waiting period requirements have been satisfied. The Business Combination is subject to these requirements and may not be completed until the expiration of a 30-day waiting period following the filing of the required Notification and Report Forms with the Antitrust Division and the FTC or until early termination is granted. On July 10, 2018, the Company and Greenlight filed the required forms under the HSR Act with the Antitrust Division and the FTC. Early termination of the HSR waiting period was granted on July 20, 2018.

        At any time before or after consummation of the Business Combination, notwithstanding termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, the applicable competition authorities could take such action under applicable antitrust laws as each deems necessary or desirable in the public interest, including seeking to enjoin the consummation of the Business Combination. Private parties may also seek to take legal action under the antitrust laws under certain circumstances. We cannot assure you that the Antitrust Division, the FTC, any state attorney general, or any other government authority will not attempt to challenge the Business Combination on antitrust grounds, and, if such a challenge is made, we cannot assure you as to its result. Neither the Company nor Greenlight is aware of any material regulatory approvals or actions that are required for completion of the Business Combination other than the expiration or early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act. It is presently contemplated that if any such additional regulatory approvals or actions are required, those approvals or actions will be sought. There can be no assurance, however, that any additional approvals or actions will be obtained.

Vote Required for Approval

        The Business Combination is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Charter Approval Proposal at the Special Meeting. Each of the proposals other than the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Charter Approval Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Charter Approval Proposal, other than the Governance Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, which are not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement.

PROPOSAL NO. 2—APPROVAL OF THE ISSUANCE OF
MORE THAN 20% OF THE COMPANY'S ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK
IN CONNECTION WITH THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AND THE PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Overview

        Assuming the Business Combination Proposal is approved, a portion of the consideration to be paid to the Greenlight Stockholders in connection with the Business Combination will consist of the Stock Consideration, consisting of approximately 65,200,000 shares of Class A Stock to be issued without any general solicitation or advertising to a limited number of Greenlight Stockholders, who are accredited investors, in a transaction not involving a public offering effected in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof, as set forth in and pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. The Stock Consideration to be issued to the Greenlight Stockholders will be restricted securities bearing transfer restrictions and the Greenlight Stockholders will have acquired such securities for their own respective accounts without a view to resell or distribute them. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Restricted Gores Stockholders will be bound by restrictions on the transfer of their shares of their securities issued in the Company's IPO, which (i) in the case of the Class A Stock is 180 days after the completion of the Business Combination, and (ii) in the case of the Private Placement Warrants and the respective Class A Stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants is 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination. For more information on the Registration Rights Agreement, please see the section entitled "Proposal No. 1—Approval of the Business Combination—Related Agreements—Registration Rights Agreement."

        In connection with the Business Combination, the Company entered into the Subscription Agreements with a limited number of accredited investors (as defined by Rule 501 of Regulation D), including certain employees and affiliates of our Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company intends to issue approximately 43,478,261 shares of Class A Stock in the Private Placement at $9.20 per share (subject to customary terms and conditions, including the closing of the Business Combination) in a transaction not involving a public offering effected in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof, for gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $400,000,000. The Private Placement Investors will be entitled to customary registration rights, including the filing of a registration statement registering the resale of the Class A Stock issued in the Private Placement within 30 days after the consummation of the Business Combination.

        As contemplated by the Incentive Plan Proposal, we intend to reserve 10,864,000 shares for grants of awards under the Incentive Plan. For more information on the Incentive Plan Proposal, please see the section entitled "Proposal No. 6—Approval of the Incentive Plan, Including the Authorization of the Initial Share Reserve Under the Incentive Plan."

        The terms of the Stock Consideration, the Private Placement and the Incentive Plan are complex and only briefly summarized above. For further information, please see the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Annex A hereto, Amendment No. 1 to the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Annex B hereto and the form of the Registration Rights Agreement, which is attached as Annex F hereto. A copy of the form of the Subscription Agreement is attached as Annex G hereto. A copy of the form of the Incentive Plan is attached as Annex I hereto. The discussion herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to such documents.

Why the Company Needs Stockholder Approval

        We are seeking stockholder approval in order to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(a) and (d).

212


Table of Contents

        Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), stockholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities in connection with the acquisition of another company if such securities are not issued in a public offering and (A) have, or will have upon issuance, voting power equal to or in excess of 20% of the voting power outstanding before the issuance of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock); or (B) the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued is or will be equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding before the issuance of the stock or securities. Collectively, the Company may issue 20% or more of our outstanding Common Stock or 20% or more of the voting power, in each case outstanding before the issuance, pursuant to the issuance of Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination and the Private Placement. In addition, the Company intends to reserve for issuance shares of Class A Stock for potential future issuances of Class A Stock under the Incentive Plan.

        Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), stockholder approval is required for a transaction other than a public offering involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by an issuer of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock) at a price that is less than the greater of book or market value of the stock if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued is or may be equal to 20% or more of the Common Stock, or 20% or more of the voting power, outstanding before the issuance.

Effect of Proposal on Current Stockholders

        If the Nasdaq Proposal is adopted, and assuming the Business Combination Proposal and Charter Approval Proposal are also approved, approximately (i) 43,478,261 shares of Class A Stock will be issued in connection with the Private Placement and (ii) 65,200,000 shares of Class A Stock will be issued as Stock Consideration pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. The issuance of such shares would result in significant dilution to our stockholders, and would afford our stockholders a smaller percentage interest in the voting power, liquidation value and aggregate book value of the Company.

Vote Required for Approval

        The approval of the Nasdaq Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. Accordingly, a Company stockholder's failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting and broker non-votes will not be counted towards the number of shares of Common Stock required to validly establish a quorum, and if a valid quorum is otherwise established, such failure to vote and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the Nasdaq Proposal. Abstentions will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established and will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the Nasdaq Proposal.

        This Proposal No. 2 is conditioned upon the approval of the Business Combination Proposal. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, this Proposal No. 2 will have no effect, even if approved by our stockholders.

        As of the date of this proxy statement, our Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote any shares of Common Stock owned by them in favor of this proposal. As of the date hereof, our Sponsor, directors and officers own 20% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and have not purchased any public shares, but may do so at any time.

PROPOSAL NO. 3—APPROVAL OF THE SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF
INCORPORATION

Overview

        Our stockholders are also being asked to adopt the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in the form attached hereto as Annex C, which, in the judgment of our Board, is necessary to adequately address the needs of the post-combination company.

        The following is a summary of the key changes effected by the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, but this summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, a copy of which is included as Annex C:

    change the post-combination company's name to Verra Mobility Corporation;

    change the purpose of the post-combination company to "any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware";

    increase our total number of authorized shares of all classes of Common Stock from 221,000,000 shares to 261,000,000 shares, which would consist of (i) increasing the post-combination company's Class A Stock from 200,000,000 shares to 250,000,000 shares and (ii) decreasing the post-combination company's Class F Stock from 20,000,000 shares to zero shares;

    cause the conversion of our outstanding shares of Class F Stock into Class A Stock and make certain conforming changes;

    provide that the number of directors will be determined exclusively by the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Board;

    delete the prior provisions under Article IX (Business Combination Requirements; Existence) relating to our status as a blank check company;

    provide that certain transactions are not "corporate opportunities" and that each of Platinum Equity and the investment funds affiliated with Platinum Equity and their respective successors and affiliates and all of their respective partners, principals, directors, officers, members, managers, equity holders and/or employees, including any of the foregoing who serve as officers or directors of the Company (each, an "Exempted Person") are not subject to the doctrine of corporate opportunity;

    require the approval by affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the common stock of the post-combination company to make any amendment to certain provisions of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws, including any amendments to Article V (Board of Directors), Section 7.1 (Meetings), Section 7.3 (Action by Written Consent), Article VIII (Limited Liability; Indemnification), Article IX (Corporate Opportunity), Article X (Business Combinations) and Article XI (Amendment of Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation); and

    provide that the post-combination company will not be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL and, instead, include a provision in our certificate of incorporation that is substantially similar to Section 203 of the DGCL, but excludes the investment funds affiliated with The Gores Group and Platinum Equity and their respective successors and affiliates (the "Excluded Parties") from the definition of "interested stockholder," and to make certain related changes. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Excluded Parties will become "interested stockholders" within the meaning of Section 203 of the DGCL, but will not be subject to the restrictions on business combinations set forth in Section 203, as our Board approved the

214


Table of Contents

      Business Combination in which the Excluded Parties became interested stockholders prior to such time they became interested stockholders.

In addition, the amendments correct typographical errors and reflect that the certificate of incorporation of the post-combination company will be the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

Reasons for the Amendments

        Each of these amendments was negotiated as part of the Business Combination. The Board's reasons for proposing each of these amendments to the certificate of incorporation are set forth below.

    Amending Article I to change the post-combination company's name to "Verra Mobility Corporation." Previously, the Company's name was Gores Holdings II, Inc. The Board believes the name of the post-combination company should more closely align with the name of the post-Business Combination operating business and therefore has proposed the name change.

    Amending Article II to provide that the purpose of the post-combination company is "to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the DGCL." The Board believes this change is appropriate to remove language applicable to a blank check company.

    Amending Section 4.1 to increase our total number of authorized shares of all classes of Common Stock from 221,000,000 shares to 261,000,000 shares, which would consist of (i) increasing the post-combination company's Class A Stock from 200,000,000 shares to 250,000,000 shares and (ii) decreasing the post-combination company's Class F Stock from 20,000,000 shares to zero shares. The amendment is to provide adequate authorized capital to provide flexibility for future issuances of Common Stock if determined by the Board to be in the best interests of the post-combination company without incurring the risk, delay and potential expense incident to obtaining stockholder approval for a particular issuance.

    Amending Section 5.1 to provide that the powers of the Board are subject to the provisions of the DGCL and the Second Amended and Restated Certificate. Previously, the Board's powers were also limited by any bylaws adopted by the stockholders. The Board believes this change appropriately clarifies the scope of the Board's powers.

    Amending Section 5.2(a) to provide that the number of directors will be determined exclusively by the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Board. The Board believes this change should be included in the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company to clarify how the number of directors on our Board may be filled.

    Amending Section 4.2 and deleting Article IX to eliminate provisions specific to our status as a blank check company and to make conforming changes. These revisions are desirable because they will serve no purpose following the Business Combination.

    Amending Article X and renumbering such article as Article IX to provide that certain transactions are not "corporate opportunities" and that each Exempted Person is not subject to the doctrine of corporate opportunity and do not have any fiduciary duty to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Previously, Article X provided that the doctrine of corporate opportunity would not apply to the Company or any of its officers or directors. The Board believes that this change is appropriate because neither Platinum Equity nor their affiliates should be restricted from investing in or operating similar businesses because Platinum Equity

215


Table of Contents

      would be unwilling or unable to enter into the Business Combination without such assurances due to their activities as investors in a wide range of companies.

    Amending Article XI to require the approval by affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the common stock of the post-combination company to make any amendment to certain provisions of the post-combination company certificate of incorporation or bylaws, including the following sections of the certificate: Article V (Board of Directors), Section 7.1 (Meetings), Section 7.3 (Action by Written Consent), Article VIII (Limited Liability; Indemnification), Article IX (Corporate Opportunity), Article X (Business Combinations) and Article XI (Amendment of Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation). The Board believes this amendment protects key provisions of the proposed certificate of incorporation from arbitrary amendment and prevents a simple majority of stockholders from taking actions that may be harmful to other stockholders or making changes to provisions that are intended to protect all stockholders.

    Adding a new Article X to cause the post-combination company to not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL and, instead, include a provision in our certificate of incorporation that is substantially similar to Section 203 of the DGCL, but excludes the Excluded Parties from the definition of "interested stockholder," and to make certain related changes. The amendment is intended to shield stockholders from the coerciveness of front-end loaded two-tier offers by preventing the offeror from effecting the second step of the offer unless the target's board of directors approves such transaction.

    The post-combination company will not be subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, an anti-takeover law. Section 203 is a default provision of the DGCL that prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination, such as a merger, with "interested stockholders" (a person or group owning fifteen percent (15%) or more of the corporation's voting stock) for three years following the date that a person becomes an interested stockholder, unless (i) before such stockholder becomes an "interested stockholder," the Board approves the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, (ii) upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the outstanding stock of the corporation at the time of the transaction (excluding stock owned by certain persons), or (iii) at the time or after the stockholder became an interested stockholder, the Board and at least two-thirds (662/3%) of the disinterested outstanding voting stock of the corporation approves the transaction. While Section 203 is the default provision under the DGCL, the DGCL allows companies to opt out of Section 203 of the DGCL by including a provision in the certificate of incorporation expressly electing not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL.

    The Board has elected to opt out of Section 203, but the Board believes that it is in the best interests of stockholders to have protections similar to those afforded by Section 203. These provisions will encourage any potential acquiror to negotiate with the Board and therefore provides an opportunity to possibly obtain a higher purchase price than would otherwise be offered in connection with a proposed acquisition of the post-combination company. Such provisions may make it more difficult for an acquirer to consummate certain types of unfriendly or hostile corporate takeovers or other transactions involving the corporation that have not been approved by the Board. The Board believes that while such provisions will provide some measure of protection against an interested stockholder that is proposing a two-tiered transaction structure that is unduly coercive, it would not ultimately prevent a potential takeover that enjoys the support of stockholders and will also help to prevent a third party from acquiring "creeping control" of the Company without paying a

216


Table of Contents

        fair premium to all stockholders. Thus, the Board has determined that the provisions included in Article X, as amended, are in the best interests of the post-combination company.

      Our certificate of incorporation, as amended, will contain provisions that have the same effect as Section 203, except that they provide that the Excluded Parties will not be deemed to be "interested stockholders," regardless of the percentage of our voting stock owned by them, and accordingly will not be subject to such restrictions. The Board has determined to exclude the Excluded Parties from the definition of "interested stockholder" because our Sponsor, an affiliate of The Gores Group, currently holds voting power in excess of and immediately following the Business Combination these parties will hold voting power in excess of the 15% threshold under Section 203, such that "creeping control" without paying a fair premium to all stockholders, which Section 203 of the DGCL is intended to prevent, would not be applicable to The Gores Group and Platinum Equity and their affiliates and transferees.

Assuming the adoption of this Proposal No. 3, the new Article X would become effective twelve months following the date and time at which the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is filed with the Delaware Secretary of State in accordance with Section 103 of the DGCL.

Vote Required for Approval

        The approval of the Charter Approval Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. Accordingly, a Company stockholder's failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote with regard to the Charter Approval Proposal will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" such Charter Approval Proposal.

        This Proposal No. 3 is conditioned upon the approval of the Business Combination Proposal. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, this Proposal No. 3 will have no effect, even if approved by our stockholders.

        As of the date of this proxy statement, our Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote any shares of Common Stock owned by them in favor of this proposal. As of the date hereof, our Sponsor, directors and officers own 20% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and have not purchased any public shares, but may do so at any time.

PROPOSAL NO. 4—APPROVAL OF CERTAIN GOVERNANCE PROVISIONS IN THE SECOND
AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

Overview

        Our stockholders are also being asked to vote on a separate proposal with respect to certain governance provisions in the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which are separately being presented in accordance with SEC guidance and which will be voted upon on a non-binding advisory basis. In the judgment of our Board, these provisions are necessary to adequately address the needs of the post-combination company. Accordingly, regardless of the outcome of the non-binding advisory vote on these proposals, the Company and Verra Mobility intend that the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in the form set forth on Annex C will take effect at consummation of the Business Combination (assuming approval of Proposal No. 3).

Proposal 4A: Change the Stockholder Vote Required to Amend the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company

Description of Amendment

        The additional amendment would require the approval by affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the common stock of the post-combination company to make any amendment to certain provisions of the post-combination company certificate of incorporation or bylaws, including any amendments to Article V (Board of Directors), Section 7.1 (Meetings), Section 7.3 (Action by Written Consent), Article VIII (Limited Liability; Indemnification), Article IX (Corporate Opportunity), Article X (Business Combinations) and Article XI (Amendment of Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation).

Reasons for the Amendment

        The amendment is intended to protect key provisions of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation from arbitrary amendment and to prevent a simple majority of stockholders from taking actions that may be harmful to other stockholders or making changes to provisions that are intended to protect all stockholders.

Proposal No. 4B: Election Not to be Governed by Section 203 of the DGCL

Description of Amendment

        The additional amendment would cause the post-combination company to not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL and, instead, include a provision in our certificate of incorporation that is substantially similar to Section 203 of the DGCL, but excludes the investment funds affiliated with The Gores Group and Platinum Equity and their respective successors and affiliates (the "Excluded Parties") from the definition of "interested stockholder," and to make certain related changes. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Excluded Parties will become "interested stockholders" within the meaning of Section 203 of the DGCL, but will not be subject to the restrictions on business combinations set forth in Section 203, as our Board approved the Business Combination in which the Excluded Parties became interested stockholders prior to such time they became interested stockholders. Assuming the adoption of Proposal No. 3, the new Article X would become effective twelve months following the date and time at which the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is filed with the Delaware Secretary of State in accordance with the Section 103 of the DGCL.

Reasons for the Amendment

        The amendment is intended to shield stockholders from the coerciveness of front-end loaded two-tier offers by preventing the offeror from effecting the second step of the offer unless the target's board of directors approves such transaction.

        The post-combination company will not be subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, an anti-takeover law. Section 203 is a default provision of the DGCL that prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination, such as a merger, with "interested stockholders" (a person or group owning fifteen percent (15%) or more of the corporation's voting stock) for three years following the date that a person becomes an interested stockholder, unless (i) before such stockholder becomes an "interested stockholder," the Board approves the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, (ii) upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the outstanding stock of the corporation at the time of the transaction (excluding stock owned by certain persons), or (iii) at the time or after the stockholder became an interested stockholder, the Board and at least two-thirds (662/3%) of the disinterested outstanding voting stock of the corporation approves the transaction. While Section 203 is the default provision under the DGCL, the DGCL allows companies to opt out of Section 203 of the DGCL by including a provision in the certificate of incorporation expressly electing not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL.

        The Board has elected to opt out of Section 203, but the Board believes that it is in the best interests of stockholders to have protections similar to those afforded by Section 203. These provisions will encourage any potential acquiror to negotiate with the Board and therefore provides an opportunity to possibly obtain a higher purchase price than would otherwise be offered in connection with a proposed acquisition of the post-combination company.

Thus, the Board has determined that the provisions included in Article X, as amended, are in the best interests of the post-combination company.

        Our certificate of incorporation, as amended, will contain provisions that have the same effect as Section 203, except that they provide that the Excluded Parties will not be deemed to be "interested stockholders," regardless of the percentage of our voting stock owned by them, and accordingly will not be subject to such restrictions. The Board has determined to exclude The Gores Group and Platinum Equity and their affiliates and transferees from the definition of "interested stockholder" because our Sponsor, an affiliate of The Gores Group, currently holds voting power in excess of and immediately following the Business Combination these parties will hold voting power in excess of the 15% threshold under Section 203, such that "creeping control" without paying a fair premium to all stockholders, which Section 203 of the DGCL is intended to prevent, would not be applicable to the Excluded Parties.

Proposal No. 4C: Increase on Authorized Shares

Description of Amendment

        The amendment would increase our total number of authorized shares of all classes of Common Stock from 221,000,000 shares to 261,000,000 shares, which would consist of (i) increasing the

219


Table of Contents

post-combination company's Class A Stock from 200,000,000 shares to 250,000,000 shares and (ii) decreasing the post-combination company's Class F Stock from 20,000,000 shares to zero shares.

Reasons for the Amendment

        The amendment is to provide adequate authorized capital to provide flexibility for future issuances of Common Stock if determined by the Board to be in the best interests of the post-combination company without incurring the risk, delay and potential expense incident to obtaining stockholder approval for a particular issuance.

Proposal No. 4D: Corporate Opportunity

Description of Amendment

        The amendment would provide that certain transactions are not "corporate opportunities" and that each of Platinum Equity and the investment funds affiliated with Platinum Equity and their respective successors and affiliates and all of their respective partners, principals, directors, officers, members, managers, equity holders and/or employees, including any of the foregoing who serve as officers or directors of the Company (each, an "Exempted Person") are not subject to the doctrine of corporate opportunity.

Reasons for Amendment

        The amendment is intended to provide that certain transactions are not "corporate opportunities" and that each Exempted Person is not subject to the doctrine of corporate opportunity and do not have any fiduciary duty to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Previously, Article X provided that the doctrine of corporate opportunity would not apply to the Company or any of its officers or directors. The Board believes that this change is appropriate because neither Platinum Equity nor its affiliates should be restricted from investing in or operating similar businesses because Platinum Equity would be unwilling or unable to enter into the Business Combination without such assurances due to its activities as investors in a wide range of companies.

Vote Required for Approval

        The approval of the Governance Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of our outstanding shares of common stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. Accordingly, a Company stockholder's failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote with regard to the Governance Proposal will have no effect on the Governance Proposal. Abstentions will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established but will have no effect on the Governance Proposal.

        As discussed above, a vote to approve the Governance Proposal is an advisory vote, and therefore, is not binding on the Company, Greenlight or their respective boards of directors. Accordingly, regardless of the outcome of the non-binding advisory vote, the Company and Greenlight intend that the proposed Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, in the form set forth on Annex C and containing the provisions noted above, will take effect at consummation of the Business Combination, assuming adoption of Proposal No. 3.

        As of the date of this proxy statement, our Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote any shares of Common Stock owned by them in favor of this proposal. As of the date hereof, our Sponsor, directors and officers own 20% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and have not purchased any public shares, but may do so at any time.

PROPOSAL NO. 6—APPROVAL OF THE INCENTIVE PLAN, INCLUDING THE AUTHORIZATION OF THE INITIAL SHARE RESERVE UNDER THE INCENTIVE PLAN

        At the Special Meeting, stockholders will be asked to approve the Verra Mobility Corporation 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan"). The Board of Directors adopted the Incentive Plan on July 10, 2018, subject to its approval by our stockholders. If the stockholders approve the Incentive Plan, it will become effective upon the closing of the Business Combination.

Equity Incentive Plan

        We operate in a challenging marketplace in which our success depends to a great extent on our ability to attract and retain employees, directors and other service providers of the highest caliber. One of the tools our Board of Directors regards as essential in addressing these human resource challenges is a competitive equity incentive program. Our employee equity incentive program provides a range of incentive tools and sufficient flexibility to permit the Board's Compensation Committee to implement them in ways that will make the most effective use of the shares our stockholders authorize for incentive purposes. We intend to use these incentives to attract new key employees and to continue to retain existing key employees, directors and other service providers for the long-term benefit of the Company and its stockholders. Approval of our Incentive Plan by our stockholders will allow us to continue to grant equity incentive awards at levels determined by our Board and Compensation Committee. The Incentive Plan will also allow us to utilize a broad array of equity incentives in order to secure and retain the services of our employees, directors and other service providers, and to provide long-term incentives that align the interests of our employees, directors and other service providers with the interests of our stockholders.

Requested Share Authorization

        The Incentive Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee to provide incentive compensation in the form of stock options, restricted stock and stock units, performance shares and units, other stock-based awards and cash-based awards. Under the Incentive Plan, we will be authorized to issue up to 10,864,000 shares. This amount includes the initial one-time grant of restricted stock units that will be made as part of the Business Combination. For more information about this initial grant of restricted stock units, please see the section entitled "Management After the Business Combination—Post-Combination Executive Compensation—Equity-Based Awards."

Summary of the Incentive Plan

        The following summary of the Incentive Plan is qualified in its entirety by the specific language of the Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement as Annex I.

        General.    The purpose of the Incentive Plan is to advance the interests of the Company and its stockholders by providing an incentive program that will enable the Company to attract, retain and award employees, consultants and directors and to provide them with an equity interest in the growth and profitability of the Company. These incentives are provided through the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, other stock-based awards and cash-based awards.

        Authorized Shares.    Subject to adjustment provisions in the Incentive Plan, the maximum aggregate number of shares authorized for issuance under the Incentive Plan is 10,864,000 shares, and such shares shall consist of authorized but unissued or reacquired shares or any combination thereof.

        Share Counting.    Each share made subject to an award will reduce the number of shares remaining available for grant under the Incentive Plan by one share. If any award granted under the Incentive Plan expires or otherwise terminates or is cancelled for any reason without having been exercised or

224


Table of Contents

settled in full, or if shares subject to forfeiture or repurchase are forfeited or repurchased by the Company for not more than the participant's purchase price, the shares allocable to the terminated portion of the award or such forfeited or repurchased shares will again become available for issuance under the Incentive Plan. If the exercise price is paid by attestation of ownership of shares or by means of a net exercise, then the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan will be reduced by the gross number of shares for which the option is exercised. Shares will not be treated as having been issued under the Incentive Plan and will therefore not reduce the number of shares available for issuance to the extent an award is settled in cash. Shares that are withheld or that are tendered in payment of the exercise price of an option will not be made available for new awards under the Incentive Plan. Shares purchased in the open market with option exercise proceeds will not increase the maximum number of shares that may be issued under the Incentive Plan. However, shares withheld or reacquired by the Company in satisfaction of a tax withholding obligation in connection with the vesting or settlement of any full value award (but not options) will not reduce the number of shares remaining available for the future grant of awards.

        Adjustments for Capital Structure Changes.    Appropriate and proportionate adjustments will be made to the number of shares authorized under the Incentive Plan, to the numerical limits on certain types of awards described below, and to outstanding awards in the event of any change in our common stock through merger, consolidation, reorganization, reincorporation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, split-off, spin-off, combination of shares, exchange of shares or similar change in our capital structure, or if we make a distribution to our stockholders in a form other than Common Stock (excluding regular, periodic cash dividends) that has a material effect on the fair market value of our Common Stock. In such circumstances, the Compensation Committee also has the discretion under the Incentive Plan to adjust other terms of outstanding awards as it deems appropriate.

        Nonemployee Director Award Limits.    Annual compensation awarded to any nonemployee director during each fiscal year, including both shares of stock subject to awards and any cash fees paid to such nonemployee director (but excluding expense reimbursements), may not exceed $750,000 in total value (calculating the value of any such awards based on the grant date fair value of such awards for financial reporting purposes).

        Other Award Limits.    To comply with applicable tax rules, the Incentive Plan limits to 10,864,000 the number of shares that may be issued upon the exercise of incentive stock options granted under the Incentive Plan.

        Administration.    The Incentive Plan generally will be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, although the Board of Directors retains the right to appoint another of its committees to administer the Incentive Plan or to administer the Incentive Plan directly (For purposes of this summary, the term "Committee" will refer to either such duly appointed committee or the Board of Directors). Subject to the provisions of the Incentive Plan, the Committee determines in its discretion the persons to whom and the times at which awards are granted, the types and sizes of awards, and all of their terms and conditions. The Committee may, subject to certain limitations on the exercise of its discretion provided by the Incentive Plan, amend, cancel or renew any award, waive any restrictions or conditions applicable to any award, and accelerate, continue, extend or defer the vesting of any award. The Committee will interpret the Incentive Plan and awards granted thereunder, and all determinations of the Committee generally will be final and binding on all persons having an interest in the Incentive Plan or any award.

        The Incentive Plan provides, subject to certain limitations, for indemnification by the Company of any director, officer or employee against all reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with any legal action arising from such person's action or failure to act in administering the Incentive Plan. All awards granted under the Incentive Plan will be evidenced by a written or digitally

225

signed agreement between the Company and the participant specifying the terms and conditions of the award, consistent with the requirements of the Incentive Plan.

        Prohibition of Option and SAR Repricing.    The Incentive Plan expressly provides that, without the approval of a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy at a meeting of our stockholders, the Committee may not provide for any of the following with respect to underwater options or stock appreciation rights: (1) either the cancellation of such outstanding options or stock appreciation rights in exchange for the grant of new options or stock appreciation rights at a lower exercise price or the amendment of outstanding options or stock appreciation rights to reduce the exercise price, (2) the issuance of new full value awards in exchange for the cancellation of such outstanding options or stock appreciation rights, or (3) the cancellation of such outstanding options or stock appreciation rights in exchange for payments in cash.

        Eligibility.    Awards may be granted to employees, directors and consultants of the Company or any present or future parent or subsidiary corporation or other affiliated entity of the Company. Incentive stock options may be granted only to employees who, as of the time of grant, are employees of the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company. As of June 30, 2018, we had approximately 730 employees including six executive officers, and one non-employee director who would be eligible under the Incentive Plan.

        Stock Options.    The Committee may grant nonstatutory stock options, incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, or any combination of these. The exercise price of each option may not be less than the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant. However, any incentive stock option granted to a person who at the time of grant owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company (a "10% Stockholder") must have an exercise price equal to at least 110% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant.

        The Incentive Plan provides that the option exercise price may be paid in cash, by check, or cash equivalent; by means of a broker-assisted cashless exercise; by means of a net-exercise procedure; to the extent legally permitted, by tender to the Company of shares of Common Stock owned by the participant having a fair market value not less than the exercise price; by such other lawful consideration as approved by the Committee; or by any combination of these. Nevertheless, the Committee may restrict the forms of payment permitted in connection with any option grant.

        Options will become vested and exercisable at such times or upon such events and subject to such terms, conditions, performance criteria or restrictions as specified by the Committee. The maximum term of any option granted under the Incentive Plan is ten years, provided that an incentive stock option granted to a 10% Stockholder must have a term not exceeding five years. Unless otherwise permitted by the Committee, an option generally will remain exercisable for three months following the participant's termination of service, provided that if service terminates as a result of the participant's death or disability, the option generally will remain exercisable for 12 months, but in any event the option must be exercised no later than its expiration date. If a participant's service is terminated for cause or if, following the participant's termination and during which any period the stock option remains exercisable, the participant engages in any act that would constitute cause, the stock option will terminate in its entirety and cease to be exercisable immediately upon such termination of service or act.

        Options are nontransferable by the participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and are exercisable during the participant's lifetime only by the participant. However, an option may be assigned or transferred to certain family members or trusts for their benefit to the extent permitted by the Committee and, in the case of an incentive stock option, only to the extent that the transfer will not terminate its tax qualification.

226


Table of Contents

        Stock Appreciation Rights.    The Committee may grant stock appreciation rights either in tandem with a related option (a "Tandem SAR") or independently of any option (a "Freestanding SAR"). A Tandem SAR requires the option holder to elect between the exercise of the underlying option for shares of common stock or the surrender of the option and the exercise of the related stock appreciation right. A Tandem SAR is exercisable only at the time and only to the extent that the related stock option is exercisable, while a Freestanding SAR is exercisable at such times or upon such events and subject to such terms, conditions, performance criteria or restrictions as specified by the Committee. The exercise price of each stock appreciation right may not be less than the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant.

        Upon the exercise of any stock appreciation right, the participant is entitled to receive an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the underlying shares of common stock as to which the right is exercised over the aggregate exercise price for such shares. Payment of this amount upon the exercise of a Tandem SAR may be made only in shares of common stock whose fair market value on the exercise date equals the payment amount. At the Committee's discretion, payment of this amount upon the exercise of a Freestanding SAR may be made in cash or shares of common stock. The maximum term of any stock appreciation right granted under the Incentive Plan is ten years.

        Stock appreciation rights are generally nontransferable by the participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and are generally exercisable during the participant's lifetime only by the participant. If permitted by the Committee, a Tandem SAR related to a nonstatutory stock option and a Freestanding SAR may be assigned or transferred to certain family members or trusts for their benefit to the extent permitted by the Committee. Other terms of stock appreciation rights are generally similar to the terms of comparable stock options.

        Restricted Stock Awards.    The Committee may grant restricted stock awards under the Incentive Plan either in the form of a restricted stock purchase right, giving a participant a right to purchase common stock, or in the form of a restricted stock bonus, in which stock is issued in consideration for services to the Company rendered by the participant. The Committee determines the purchase price payable under restricted stock purchase awards, which may be less than the then current fair market value of our Common Stock. Restricted stock awards may be subject to vesting conditions based on such service or performance criteria as the Committee specifies, including the attainment of one or more performance goals similar to those described below in connection with performance awards. Shares acquired pursuant to a restricted stock award may not be transferred by the participant until vested. Participants holding restricted stock will have the right to vote the shares and to receive any dividends paid, except that dividends or other distributions paid in shares will be subject to the same restrictions as the original award and dividends paid in cash may be made subject to such restrictions. If a participant's service terminates for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary (including the participant's death or disability), then (a) the Company will have the option to repurchase for the purchase price paid by the participant any shares acquired by the participant pursuant to a restricted stock purchase right which remain subject to vesting conditions as of the date of the participant's termination of service and (b) the participant will forfeit to the Company any shares acquired by the participant pursuant to a restricted stock bonus which remain subject to vesting conditions as of the date of the participant's termination of service.

        Restricted Stock Units.    The Committee may grant restricted stock units under the Incentive Plan, which represent rights to receive shares of our Common Stock at a future date determined in accordance with the participant's award agreement. No monetary payment is required for receipt of restricted stock units or the shares issued in settlement of the award, the consideration for which is furnished in the form of the participant's services to the Company. The Committee may grant restricted stock unit awards subject to the attainment of one or more performance goals similar to those described below in connection with performance awards, or may make the awards subject to vesting conditions similar to those applicable to restricted stock awards. Restricted stock units may not be

227


Table of Contents

transferred by the participant. Participants have no voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends with respect to restricted stock unit awards until shares of Common Stock are issued in settlement of such awards. However, the Committee may grant restricted stock units that entitle their holders to dividend equivalent rights, which are rights to receive cash or additional restricted stock units whose value is equal to any cash dividends the Company pays. Dividend equivalent rights may be made subject to the same vesting conditions and settlement terms as the original award. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, a participant will forfeit any restricted stock units which have not vested prior to the participant's termination of service.

        Performance Awards.    The Committee may grant performance awards subject to such conditions and the attainment of such performance goals over such periods as the Committee determines in writing and sets forth in a written agreement between the Company and the participant. These awards may be designated as performance shares or performance units, which consist of unfunded bookkeeping entries generally having initial values equal to the fair market value determined on the grant date of a share of Common Stock in the case of performance shares and a monetary value established by the Committee at the time of grant in the case of performance units. Performance awards will specify a predetermined amount of performance shares or performance units that may be earned by the participant to the extent that one or more performance goals are attained within a predetermined performance period. To the extent earned, performance awards may be settled in cash, shares of Common Stock (including shares of restricted stock that are subject to additional vesting) or any combination of these.

        Prior to the beginning of the applicable performance period or such later date as determined by the Committee, the Committee will establish one or more performance goals applicable to the award. Performance goals will be based on the attainment of specified target levels with respect to one or more measures of business or financial performance of the Company and each subsidiary corporation consolidated with the Company for financial reporting purposes, or such division or business unit of the Company as may be selected by the Committee. The Committee, in its discretion, may base performance goals on one or more of the following such measures: revenue; sales; expenses; operating income; gross margin; operating margin; earnings before any one or more of: stock-based compensation expense, interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; pre-tax profit; adjusted pre-tax profit; net operating income; net income; economic value added; free cash flow; operating cash flow; balance of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities; stock price; earnings per share; return on stockholder equity; return on capital; return on assets; return on investment; total stockholder return, employee satisfaction; employee retention; market share; customer satisfaction; product development; research and development expense; completion of an identified special project and completion of a joint venture or other corporate transaction and personal performance objectives established for an individual participant or group of participants.

        The target levels with respect to these performance measures may be expressed on an absolute basis or relative to an index, budget or other standard specified by the Committee. The degree of attainment of performance measures will be calculated in accordance with the Company's financial statements, generally accepted accounting principles, if applicable, or other methodology established by the Committee, but prior to the accrual or payment of any performance award for the same performance period, and, according to criteria established by the Committee, excluding the effect (whether positive or negative) of changes in accounting standards or any unusual or infrequently occurring event or transaction occurring after the establishment of the performance goals applicable to a performance award.

        Following completion of the applicable performance period, the Committee will determine the extent to which the applicable performance goals have been attained and the resulting value to be paid to the participant. The Committee may make positive or negative adjustments to performance award payments to participants to reflect the participant's individual job performance or other factors

228

determined by the Committee. In its discretion, the Committee may provide for a participant awarded performance shares to receive dividend equivalent rights with respect to cash dividends paid on the Company's Common Stock to the extent that the performance shares become vested. The Committee may provide for performance award payments in lump sums or installments.

        Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, if a participant's service terminates due to the participant's death or disability prior to completion of the applicable performance period, the final award value will be determined at the end of the performance period on the basis of the performance goals attained during the entire performance period but will be prorated for the number of days of the participant's service during the performance period. The Committee may provide similar treatment for a participant whose service is involuntarily terminated. If a participant's service terminates prior to completion of the applicable performance period for any other reason, the Incentive Plan provides that the performance award will be forfeited. No performance award may be sold or transferred other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution prior to the end of the applicable performance period.

        Cash-Based Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards.    The Committee may grant cash-based awards or other stock-based awards in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee determines. Cash-based awards will specify a monetary payment or range of payments, while other stock-based awards will specify a number of shares or units based on shares or other equity-related awards. Such awards may be subject to vesting conditions based on continued performance of service or subject to the attainment of one or more performance goals similar to those described above in connection with performance awards. Settlement of awards may be in cash or shares of Common Stock, as determined by the Committee. A participant will have no voting rights with respect to any such award unless and until shares are issued pursuant to the award. The Committee may grant dividend equivalent rights with respect to other stock-based awards. The effect on such awards of the participant's termination of service will be determined by the Committee and set forth in the participant's award agreement.

        Change in Control.    The Incentive Plan provides that a "Change in Control" occurs upon (a) a person (with certain exceptions described in the Incentive Plan) acquiring direct or indirect beneficial ownership of 50% or more of the total fair market value or total combined voting power of Company's then-outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of the Board of Directors; (b) stockholder approval of a liquidation or dissolution of the Company; or (c) the occurrence of any of the following events upon which the stockholders of the Company immediately before the event do not retain immediately after the event direct or indirect beneficial ownership of more than 50% of the voting securities of the Company, its successor or the entity to which the assets of the company were transferred: (i) a sale or exchange by the stockholders in a single transaction or series of related transactions of more than 50% of the Company's voting stock; (ii) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is a party; or (iii) the sale, exchange or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (other than a sale, exchange or transfer to one or more subsidiaries of the Company).

        If a Change in Control occurs, the surviving, continuing, successor or purchasing entity or its parent may, without the consent of any participant, either assume or continue outstanding awards or substitute substantially equivalent awards for its stock. If so determined by the Committee, stock-based awards will be deemed assumed if, for each share subject to the award prior to the Change in Control, its holder is given the right to receive the same amount of consideration that a stockholder would receive as a result of the Change in Control. Any awards which are not assumed or continued in connection with a Change in Control or exercised or settled prior to the Change in Control will terminate effective as of the time of the Change in Control.

        Subject to the restrictions of Section 409A of the Code, the Committee may provide for the acceleration of vesting or settlement of any or all outstanding awards upon such terms and to such

229


Table of Contents

extent as it determines. The vesting of all awards held by non-employee directors will be accelerated in full upon a Change in Control.

        The Incentive Plan also authorizes the Committee, in its discretion and without the consent of any participant, to cancel each or any award denominated in shares of stock upon a Change in Control in exchange for a payment to the participant with respect each vested share (and each unvested share if so determined by the Committee) subject to the cancelled award of an amount equal to the excess of the consideration to be paid per share of Common Stock in the Change in Control transaction over the exercise or purchase price per share, if any, under the award.

    Withholding.

        The Company will have the right to deduct from any and all payments made under the Plan, or to require the participant, through payroll withholding, cash payment or otherwise, to make adequate provision for, the federal, state, local and foreign taxes (including social insurance), if any, required by law to be withheld by the Company with respect to an award or the shares acquired pursuant thereto. The Company will have no obligation to deliver shares, to release shares from an escrow established pursuant to an award agreement, or to make any payment in cash under the Incentive Plan until the Company's tax withholding obligations have been satisfied by the participant.

        The Company also has the right, but not the obligation, to deduct from the shares issuable to a participant upon the exercise or settlement of an award, or to accept from the participant the tender of, a number of whole shares having a fair market value, as determined by the Company, equal to all or any part of the tax withholding obligations of the Company. The fair market value of any shares withheld or tendered to satisfy any such tax withholding obligations will not exceed the amount determined by the applicable minimum statutory withholding rates (or the maximum individual statutory withholding rates for the applicable jurisdiction if use of such rates would not result in adverse accounting consequences or cost). The Company may require a participant to direct a broker, upon the vesting, exercise or settlement of an award, to sell a portion of the shares subject to the award determined by the Company in its discretion to be sufficient to cover the tax withholding obligations of the Company and to remit an amount equal to such tax withholding obligations to such Company in cash.

        Amendment, Suspension or Termination.    The Incentive Plan will continue in effect until its termination by the Committee, provided that no awards may be granted under the Incentive Plan following the tenth anniversary of the Incentive Plan's effective date, which will be the date on which it is approved by the stockholders. The Committee may amend, suspend or terminate the Incentive Plan at any time, provided that no amendment may be made without stockholder approval that would increase the maximum aggregate number of shares of stock authorized for issuance under the Incentive Plan, change the class of persons eligible to receive incentive stock options or require stockholder approval under any applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange on which the Company's shares are then listed. No amendment, suspension or termination of the Incentive Plan may affect any outstanding award unless expressly provided by the Committee, and, in any event, may not have a materially adverse effect an outstanding award without the consent of the participant unless necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation or rule, including, but not limited to, Section 409A of the Code.

Summary of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

        The following summary is intended only as a general guide to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of participation in the Incentive Plan and does not attempt to describe all possible federal or other tax consequences of such participation or tax consequences based on particular circumstances.

230


Table of Contents

        Incentive Stock Options.    A participant recognizes no taxable income for regular income tax purposes as a result of the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option qualifying under Section 422 of the Code. Participants who neither dispose of their shares within two years following the date the option was granted nor within one year following the exercise of the option will normally recognize a capital gain or loss upon the sale of the shares equal to the difference, if any, between the sale price and the purchase price of the shares. If a participant satisfies such holding periods upon a sale of the shares, we will not be entitled to any deduction for federal income tax purposes. If a participant disposes of shares within two years after the date of grant or within one year after the date of exercise (a "disqualifying disposition"), the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the option exercise date and the exercise price (not to exceed the gain realized on the sale if the disposition is a transaction with respect to which a loss, if sustained, would be recognized) will be taxed as ordinary income at the time of disposition. Any gain in excess of that amount will be a capital gain. If a loss is recognized, there will be no ordinary income, and such loss will be a capital loss. Any ordinary income recognized by the participant upon the disqualifying disposition of the shares generally should be deductible by us for federal income tax purposes, except to the extent such deduction is limited by applicable provisions of the Code.

        In general, the difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise of an incentive stock option is treated as an adjustment in computing the participant's alternative minimum taxable income and may be subject to an alternative minimum tax which is paid if such tax exceeds the regular tax for the year. Special rules may apply with respect to certain subsequent sales of the shares in a disqualifying disposition, certain basis adjustments for purposes of computing the alternative minimum taxable income on a subsequent sale of the shares and certain tax credits which may arise with respect to participants subject to the alternative minimum tax.

        Nonstatutory Stock Options.    Options not designated or qualifying as incentive stock options are nonstatutory stock options having no special tax status. A participant generally recognizes no taxable income upon receipt of such an option. Upon exercising a nonstatutory stock option, the participant normally recognizes ordinary income equal to the difference between the exercise price paid and the fair market value of the shares on the date when the option is exercised. If the participant is an employee, such ordinary income generally is subject to withholding of income and employment taxes. Upon the sale of stock acquired by the exercise of a nonstatutory stock option, any gain or loss, based on the difference between the sale price and the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date, will be taxed as capital gain or loss. We generally should be entitled to a tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the participant as a result of the exercise of a nonstatutory stock option, except to the extent such deduction is limited by applicable provisions of the Code.

        Restricted Stock.    A participant acquiring restricted stock generally will recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the "determination date" over the price paid, if any, for such shares. The "determination date" is the date on which the participant acquires the shares unless the shares are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture and are not transferable, in which case the determination date is the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares become transferable or (ii) the date on which the shares are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture (e.g., when they become vested). If the determination date follows the date on which the participant acquires the shares, the participant may elect, pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code, to designate the date of acquisition as the determination date by filing an election with the Internal Revenue Service no later than 30 days after the date on which the shares are acquired. If the participant is an employee, such ordinary income generally is subject to withholding of income and employment taxes. Upon the sale of shares acquired pursuant to a restricted stock award, any gain or loss, based on the difference between the sale price and the fair market value of the shares on the determination date, will be taxed as capital gain or loss. We generally should be entitled to a deduction equal to the amount of ordinary

231


Table of Contents

income recognized by the participant on the determination date, except to the extent such deduction is limited by applicable provisions of the Code.

        Restricted Stock Unit, Performance, Cash-Based and Other Stock-Based Awards.    A participant generally will recognize no income upon the receipt of a restricted stock unit, performance share, performance unit, cash-based or other stock-based award. Upon the settlement of such awards, participants normally will recognize ordinary income in the year of settlement in an amount equal to the cash received and the fair market value of any substantially vested shares of stock received. If the participant is an employee, such ordinary income generally is subject to withholding of income and employment taxes. If the participant receives shares of restricted stock, the participant generally will be taxed in the same manner as described above under "Restricted Stock." Upon the sale of any shares received, any gain or loss, based on the difference between the sale price and the fair market value of the shares on the determination date (as defined above under "Restricted Stock"), will be taxed as capital gain or loss. We generally should be entitled to a deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the participant on the determination date, except to the extent such deduction is limited by applicable provisions of the Code.

New Incentive Plan Benefits

        No awards will be granted under the Incentive Plan prior to its approval by the stockholders of the Company. Certain individuals will receive an initial one-time grant of restricted stock units that will be made as part of the Business Combination. The individual allocation of such grants has not been made as of the filing of this Proxy Statement. All other awards will be granted at the discretion of the Committee, and, accordingly, are not yet determinable.

Required Vote and Board of Directors Recommendation

        Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on this proposal. If you hold your shares in your own name and abstain from voting on this matter, your abstention will have the same effect as a negative vote. If you hold your shares through a broker and you do not instruct the broker on how to vote on this proposal, your broker will not have authority to vote your shares. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this vote. Abstentions and broker non-votes will each be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

        The Board believes that the proposed adoption of the Incentive Plan is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders for the reasons stated above.

        THEREFORE, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" APPROVAL OF THE ADOPTION OF THE INCENTIVE PLAN.

PROPOSAL NO. 7—THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

Overview

        The Adjournment Proposal, if adopted, will allow our Board to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation of proxies. The Adjournment Proposal will only be presented to our stockholders in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal or the Charter Approval Proposal, but no other proposal if the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal or the Charter Approval Proposal are approved. In no event will our Board adjourn the Special Meeting or consummate the Business Combination beyond January 19, 2019.

Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved

        If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved by our stockholders, our Board may not be able to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Charter Approval Proposal or any other proposal.

Vote Required for Approval

        The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of outstanding shares of our Common Stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. Accordingly, a Company stockholder's failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Special Meeting, as well as an abstention from voting and a broker non-vote with regard to the Adjournment Proposal will have no effect on the Adjournment Proposal. Abstentions will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established but will have no effect on the Adjournment Proposal.

        As of the date of this proxy statement, our Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote any shares of Common Stock owned by them in favor of this proposal. As of the date hereof, our Sponsor, directors and officers own 20% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and have not purchased any public shares, but may do so at any time.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT OUR STOCKHOLDERS
VOTE "FOR" THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY

General

        We are a blank check company incorporated on August 15, 2016 as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, which we refer to as a "business combination." Prior to our entering into the Merger Agreement, our acquisition and value creation strategy was to identify, acquire and, after an initial business combination, to build a company in an industry or sector that complements the experience of our management team and can benefit from our operational expertise. Our acquisition selection process has leveraged our team's network of potential transaction sources, ranging from owners and directors of private and public companies, private equity funds, investment bankers, lenders, attorneys, accountants and other trusted advisors across various sectors. We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue to date. Based on our business activities, we are a "shell company" as defined under the Exchange Act because we have no operations and nominal assets consisting solely of cash and/or cash equivalents.

        On August 19, 2016 our Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 10,781,250 Founder Shares, for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 or approximately $0.002 per share. Subsequently, our Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 75,000 Founder Shares to Messrs. Randall Bort, William Patton and Jeffrey Rea, the Company's independent directors. On February 27, 2017, following the expiration of the unexercised portion of the underwriters' over- allotment option, our Sponsor forfeited 781,250 Founder Shares, so that the Founder Shares held by our Initial Stockholders would represent 20% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately following the consummation of our IPO.

        On January 19, 2017, we consummated our IPO of 40,000,000 units of the Company, including 2,500,000 units issued pursuant to the partial exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option. Each such unit consists of one share of Class A Stock and one public warrant to purchase one-third of one share of Class A Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share of Class A Stock. The units were sold at a price of $10.00 per share, generating gross proceeds to us of $400,000,000. Simultaneous with the IPO closing date, we completed the private sale of an aggregate of 6,666,666 Private Placement Warrants to our Sponsor at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, each exercisable to purchase one share of Class A Stock at $11.50 per share, generating gross proceeds to us of $10,000,000. The Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the public warrants sold as part of the units in the IPO, except that the Private Placement Warrants may be physical (cash) or net share (cashless) settled and are not redeemable so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. The sale of the Private Placement Warrants was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

        On January 19, 2017, the closing date of our IPO, $400,000,000 of the gross proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was deposited in the Trust Account with Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company acting as Trustee. Of the $10,000,000 held outside of the Trust Account, $8,000,000 was used to pay underwriting discounts and commissions, $300,000 was used to repay notes payable to our Sponsor and the balance was available to pay accrued offering and formation costs, business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. Funds held in the Trust Account have been invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, that invest only in direct U.S. government obligations. Funds will remain in the Trust Account until the earliest of: (i) the completion of a business combination; (ii) the redemption of any shares of Class A Stock properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend our current certificate of incorporation (which requires the affirmative vote of 65% of all then outstanding shares of the Class A Stock) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of such shares of Class A Stock if we do not

234


Table of Contents

complete a business combination by January 19, 2019; and (iii) the redemption of 100% of the shares of Class A Stock if we are unable to complete a business combination by January 19, 2019 (subject to applicable law). We expect to consummate the Business Combination and do not intend to take any action to extend the life of the Company beyond January 19, 2019.

        On March 3, 2017, we announced that the holders of our public units may elect to separately trade the Class A Stock and warrants included in the units commencing on March 6, 2017 on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols "GSHT" and "GSHTW," respectively. Those units not separated will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "GSHTU."

Initial Business Combination

        Nasdaq rules require that an initial business combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in our Trust Account (less any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned) at the time of our signing a definitive agreement in connection with an initial business combination. Our Board has determined that the Business Combination meets the 80% test.

Redemption Rights for Holders of Public Shares

        We are providing our public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares for cash equal to a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the closing of the Business Combination, including interest not previously released to the Company to fund Regulatory Withdrawals and/or to pay its franchise and income taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, upon the consummation of the Business Combination, subject to the limitations described herein. As of June 30, 2018, the fair value of the investment securities held in the Trust Account, net of taxes payable and any interest that we may withdraw for working capital purposes, is approximately $10.12 per public share. Our Initial Stockholders, including our Sponsor, and our other current directors and officers have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares and any public shares they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. The Founder Shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. Our Initial Stockholders have also agreed to waive their right to a conversion price adjustment with respect to any shares of our common stock they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination.

Submission of Our Initial Business Combination to a Stockholder Vote

        The Special Meeting of our stockholders to which this proxy statement relates is to solicit your approval of the Business Combination. Unlike many other blank check companies, our public stockholders are not required to vote against the Business Combination in order to exercise their redemption rights. If the Business Combination is not completed, then public stockholders electing to exercise their redemption rights will not be entitled to receive such payments. Our Initial Stockholders, including our Sponsor, have agreed to vote any shares of Common Stock owned by them in favor of the Business Combination.

Limitations on Redemption Rights

        Notwithstanding the foregoing our current certificate of incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a "group" (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from exercising redemptions with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the shares of Class A Stock included in the units sold in our IPO.

Employees

        We currently have three officers. Members of our management team are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters, but they intend to devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to our affairs until we have completed an initial business combination. We presently expect our officers to devote such amount of time as they reasonably believe is necessary to our business, and the amount of time that Mr. Gores or any other members of our management will devote in any time period will vary based on the current stage of the business combination process. We do not intend to have any full time employees prior to the closing of an initial business combination.

We review all messages received, and forward any message that reasonably appears to be a communication from a stockholder about a matter of stockholder interest that is intended for communication to our Board. Communications are sent as soon as practicable to the director to whom they are addressed, or if addressed to our Board generally, to the Chairman of our Board. Because other appropriate avenues of communication exist for matters that are not of stockholder interest, such as general business complaints or employee grievances, communications that do not relate to matters of stockholder interest are not forwarded to our Board.

Director Independence

        Nasdaq listing standards require that a majority of our Board be independent. An "independent director" is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship which in the opinion of our Board, would interfere with the director's exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

        We currently have three "independent directors" as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, Messrs. Randall Bort, William Patton and Jeffrey Rea.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

        Our Board recognizes that the leadership structure and combination or separation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman roles is driven by the needs of the Company at any point in time. As a result, no policy exists requiring combination or separation of leadership roles and our governing documents do not mandate a particular structure. This has allowed our Board the flexibility to establish the most appropriate structure for the Company at any given time. Currently, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman roles are separately held by Mr. Mark R. Stone and Mr. Alec Gores, respectively. In addition, none of the officers of the Company is a member of our Board and none of the directors of our Board is an officer of the Company.

        Our Board is actively involved in overseeing our risk management process. Our Board focuses on our general risk management strategy and ensures that appropriate risk mitigation strategies are implemented by management. Further, operational and strategic presentations by management to our Board include consideration of the challenges and risks of our businesses, and our Board and management actively engage in discussion on these topics. In addition, each of our Board's committees considers risk within its area of responsibility. For example, our Audit Committee provides oversight to legal and compliance matters and assesses the adequacy of our risk-related internal controls. In addition, our Compensation Committee considers risk and structures our executive compensation programs, if any, to provide incentives to appropriately reward executives for growth without undue risk taking.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

        None of our officers currently serves, and in the past year has not served, as a member of the Board or compensation committee of an entity that has one or more executive directors serving on our Board.

Number and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors

        Our Board consists of four members. Our Board is divided into three classes, with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual meeting of stockholders) serving a three-year term. The term of office of the Class I director, consisting of Randall Bort, will expire at our first annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the Class II directors, consisting of William Patton and Jeffrey Rea, will expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the Class III director, consisting of Alec Gores, will expire at the third annual meeting of stockholders.

        Our officers are appointed by our Board and serve at the discretion of our Board, rather than for specific terms of office. Our Board is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in our bylaws as it deems appropriate. Our bylaws provide that our officers may consist of a Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Vice Presidents, Secretary, Treasurer and such other offices as may be determined by the Board.

Committees of Our Board

        Our Board has two standing committees: an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee. Each of our Audit Committee and our Compensation Committee is composed solely of independent directors.

    Audit Committee

        Our Board has established an Audit Committee of the Board. Audit Committee members include Messrs. Bort, Patton and Rea. Mr. Bort serves as chairman of the Audit Committee. Under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have three members of the audit committee. Subject to phase-in rules and a limited exception, the rules of Nasdaq and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors. Messrs. Bort, Patton and Rea qualify as independent directors under applicable rules. Each member of the Audit Committee is financially literate as interpreted by the Board in its business judgement and our Board has determined that Mr. Bort qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in applicable SEC rules.

        We have adopted an Audit Committee Charter, which details the principal functions of the Audit Committee, including:

    the appointment, compensation, retention, replacement, and oversight of the work of the independent auditors and any other independent registered public accounting firm engaged by us;

    pre-approving all audit and permitted non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditors or any other registered public accounting firm engaged by us, and establishing pre-approval policies and procedures;

    reviewing and discussing with the independent auditors all relationships the auditors have with us in order to evaluate their continued independence;

    setting clear hiring policies for employees or former employees of the independent auditors;

    setting clear policies for audit partner rotation in compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

    obtaining and reviewing a report, at least annually, from the independent auditors describing (i) the independent auditor's internal quality-control procedures and (ii) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality- control review, or peer review, of the audit firm, or by

240


Table of Contents

      any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities, within the preceding five years respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the firm and any steps taken to deal with such issues;

    reviewing and approving any related party transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC prior to us entering into such transaction; and

    reviewing with management, the independent auditors, and our legal advisors, as appropriate, any legal, regulatory or compliance matters, including any correspondence with regulators or government agencies and any employee complaints or published reports that raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies and any significant changes in accounting standards or rules promulgated by the FASB, the SEC or other regulatory authorities.

        Our Audit Committee Charter is filed as an exhibit to our registration statement in connection with our IPO. A copy of our Audit Committee Charter is available, free of charge, from the Company by writing to the Company's Secretary, Gores Holdings II, Inc., 9800 Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills, California 90212.

    Compensation Committee

        Our Board has established a Compensation Committee of the Board. Compensation Committee members include Messrs. Bort, Patton and Rea. Mr. Patton serves as chairman of the Compensation Committee. Under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have at least two members of the compensation committee, all of whom must be independent. Randall Bort, William Patton and Jeffrey Rea are independent.

        We have adopted a Compensation Committee Charter which details the principal functions of the Compensation Committee, including:

    reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officer's compensation, evaluating our Chief Executive Officer's performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer's based on such evaluation;

    reviewing and approving on an annual basis the compensation of all of our other officers;

    reviewing on an annual basis our executive compensation policies and plans;

    implementing and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;

    assisting management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;

    approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our officers and employees;

    if required, producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement; and

    reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.

        The Compensation Committee Charter also provides that the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser and will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external

241


Table of Contents

legal counsel or any other adviser, the Compensation Committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by Nasdaq and the SEC.

        Our Compensation Committee Charter was filed as an exhibit to our registration statement in connection with our IPO. A copy of our Compensation Committee Charter is available, free of charge, from the Company by writing to the Company's Secretary, Gores Holdings II, Inc., 9800 Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills, California 90212.

Committee Membership, Meetings and Attendance

        Each of the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee of our Board is comprised entirely of independent directors.

        From August 15, 2016 (inception) through December 31, 2017, the end of our fiscal year, our Audit Committee held three meetings, at which all members of the Audit Committee were present. Our Board or a committee thereof acted by written consent at least three times in fiscal year 2016. Our Compensation Committee did not hold meetings in fiscal year 2016.

        We encourage all of our directors to attend our annual meetings of stockholders. This Special Meeting will be our first annual meeting.

Director Nominations

        We do not have a standing nominating committee, though we intend to form a corporate governance and nominating committee in connection with the Business Combination. In accordance with Rule 5605(e)(2) of the Nasdaq rules, a majority of the independent directors may recommend a director nominee for selection by the Board. The Board believes that the independent directors can satisfactorily carry out the responsibility of properly selecting or approving director nominees without the formation of a standing nominating committee. In accordance with Rule 5605(e)(1)(A) of the Nasdaq rules, all such directors are independent. As there is no standing nominating committee, we do not have a nominating committee charter in place.

        The Board will also consider director candidates recommended for nomination by our stockholders during such times as they are seeking proposed nominees to stand for election at the next annual meeting of stockholders (or, if applicable, a special meeting of stockholders). Our stockholders that wish to nominate a director for election to the Board should follow the procedures set forth in our bylaws.

        We have not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying and evaluating nominees for director, the Board considers educational background, diversity of professional experience, knowledge of our business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent the best interests of our stockholders.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

        Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our Common Stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. These reporting persons are also required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely upon a review of such forms, we believe that during the year ended December 31, 2017 there were no delinquent filers.

Code of Ethics

        We have adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees that complies with the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq. The Code of Ethics codifies the business and ethical principles that govern all aspects of our business. We have previously filed copies of our form Code of Ethics, our form of Audit Committee Charter and our form of Compensation Committee Charter as exhibits to our registration statement in connection with our IPO. You may review these documents by accessing our public filings at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, a copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided without charge upon request to us in writing at 9800 Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills, California 90212 or by telephone at (310) 209-3010. We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of our Code of Ethics in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

Conflicts of Interest

        The Gores Group manages several investment vehicles. Funds managed by The Gores Group or its affiliates may compete with us for acquisition opportunities. If these funds decide to pursue any such opportunity, we may be precluded from procuring such opportunities. In addition, investment ideas generated within The Gores Group, including by Mr. Gores, may be suitable for both us and for a current or future fund of The Gores Group and may be directed to such investment vehicle rather than to us. Neither The Gores Group nor members of our management team who are also employed by certain affiliates of The Gores Group have any obligation to present us with any opportunity for a potential business combination of which they become aware, unless presented to such member solely in his or her capacity as an officer of our Company. The Gores Group and/or our management, in their capacities as officers or managing directors of The Gores Group or in their other endeavors, may be required to present potential business combinations to the related entities described above, current or future investment vehicles of The Gores Group, or third parties, before they present such opportunities to us.

        Each of our officers and directors presently has, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to another entity pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity to such entity. Accordingly, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will honor these fiduciary obligations under applicable law. We do not believe, however, that the fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of our officers or directors will materially affect our ability to complete our business combination. Our current certificate of incorporation provides that we renounce our interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of our Company and such opportunity is one we are legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for us to pursue.

        Our Sponsor, officers and directors may become involved with subsequent blank check companies similar to us, although they have agreed not to participate in the formation of, or become an officer or director of, any blank check company until we have entered into a definitive agreement regarding our Business Combination or we have failed to complete an initial business combination by January 19, 2019. Potential investors should also be aware of the following other potential conflicts of interest:

    the fact that our Initial Stockholders have agreed not to redeem any of the Founder Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;

    the fact that our Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their right to conversion price adjustment with respect to any shares of our Common Stock they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination;

243


Table of Contents

    the fact that our Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for 10,781,250 Founder Shares and (after giving effect to the cancellation of (i) 781,250 Founder Shares on February 27, 2017 and (ii) approximately 3,478,261 Founder Shares at the time of the Business Combination) the remaining 6,521,739 Founder Shares will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination, which if unrestricted and freely tradable would be valued at approximately $65,217,390 but, given the restrictions on such shares, we believe such shares have less value;

    the fact that our Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if we fail to complete an initial business combination by January 19, 2019;

    the fact that our Sponsor paid an aggregate of approximately $10,000,000 for its 6,666,666 Private Placement Warrants to purchase shares of Class A Stock and that such Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless if a business combination is not consummated by January 19, 2019;

    the continued right of our Sponsor to hold our Class A Stock and the shares of Class A Stock to be issued to our Sponsor upon exercise of its Private Placement Warrants following the Business Combination, subject to certain lock-up periods;

    if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, our Sponsor has agreed to indemnify us to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.00 per public share, or such lesser per public share amount as is in the Trust Account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which we have entered into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party (other than our independent public accountants) for services rendered or products sold to us, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account;

    the anticipated continuation of two of our existing directors, Messrs. Randall Bort and Jeffrey Rea, as directors of the post-combination company;

    the continued indemnification of our existing directors and officers and the continuation of our directors' and officers' liability insurance after the Business Combination;

    the fact that our Sponsor, officers and directors will lose their entire investment in us and will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses if an initial business combination is not consummated by January 19, 2019;

    that, as described in the Charter Approval Proposal and reflected in Annex C, our proposed Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation will be amended to exclude The Gores Group and Platinum Equity and each of their successors, certain affiliates and each of their respective transferees as "interested parties" from the list of prohibited business combinations not in compliance with Section 203 of the DGCL;

    that, at the closing of the Business Combination we will enter into the Registration Rights Agreement with the Restricted Stockholders, which provides for registration rights to Restricted Stockholders and their permitted transferees;

    that certain employees and affiliates of our Sponsor have committed to purchase up to 4,203,795 shares of Class A Stock in the Private Placement for an aggregate commitment of approximately $38,674,914; and

    the fact that Alec Gores, our Chairman, is the brother of Tom Gores, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Platinum Equity, and that Tom Gores and certain employees and

244


Table of Contents

      affiliates of Platinum Equity would participate in the Private Placement. Platinum Equity currently holds a controlling stake in Verra Mobility through the Platinum Stockholder, which will receive all of the cash consideration and a portion of the stock consideration to be paid in connection with the business combination. The Platinum Stockholder will retain approximately 34% of voting power in the post-combination company assuming no share redemptions and 47% of voting power assuming maximum share redemptions. The Platinum Stockholder will also have the right to nominate up to three directors to the post-closing company's board of directors, of whom one will initially be the current Chief Executive Officer of Verra Mobility as a Class II director and the other two will initially be representatives of the Platinum Stockholder as Class III directors. In addition, if one of the Platinum Stockholder's nominees is elected, one of the Platinum Stockholder's nominees will serve as the chairman of the board of directors and the Platinum Stockholder will have the right to appoint one representative to each committee of the board of the post-closing company. The Platinum Stockholder's right to nominate directors to the post-closing company's board is subject to maintaining its ownership percentage of the total outstanding shares of Class A Stock at certain levels as discussed elsewhere in this proxy statement.

        The conflicts described above may not be resolved in our favor.

        In general, officers and directors of a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware are required to present business opportunities to a corporation if:

    the corporation could financially undertake the opportunity;

    the opportunity is within the corporation's line of business; and

    it would not be fair to the corporation and its stockholders for the opportunity not to be brought to the attention of the corporation.

        Accordingly, as a result of multiple business affiliations, our officers and directors may have similar legal obligations relating to presenting business opportunities meeting the above-listed criteria to multiple entities. Furthermore, our current certificate of incorporation provides that the doctrine of corporate opportunity will not apply with respect to any of our officers or directors in circumstances where the application of the doctrine would conflict with any fiduciary duties or contractual obligations they may have. Below is a table summarizing the entities to which our officers and directors currently have fiduciary duties or contractual obligations that may present a conflict of interest:

Name of Individual
  Entity Name   Entity's Business   Affiliation
Alec Gores   The Gores Group, LLC(1)   Private equity investments   Director and Officer
Mark R. Stone   The Gores Group, LLC(1)   Private equity investments   Director and Officer
Dominick Schiano   None        
Andy McBride   The Gores Group, LLC(1)   Private equity investments   Director and Officer
Randall Bort   None        
William Patton   None        
Jeffrey Rea   None        

(1)
Includes all portfolio companies and certain other affiliates of The Gores Group.

        Accordingly, if any of the above officers or directors become aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for any of the above entities to which he or she has then current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will honor these obligations to present such business combination opportunity to such entity, and only present it to us if such entity rejects the opportunity. We do not believe, however, that any of the foregoing fiduciary duties or contractual obligations will materially affect our ability to complete our business combination. Our current certificate of incorporation provides that we renounce our interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer

245


Table of Contents

unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of our Company and such opportunity is one we are legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for us to pursue.

        We are not prohibited from pursuing a business combination with a company that is affiliated with our Sponsor, officers or directors. In the event we seek to complete our business combination with such a company, we, or a committee of independent directors, would obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm which is a member of FINRA, or from an independent accounting firm, that such a business combination is fair to our Company from a financial point of view.

        Our Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote their Founder Shares and their public shares, if any, in favor of the Business Combination.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

        Our current certificate of incorporation provides that our officers and directors will be indemnified by us to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware law, as it now exists or may in the future be amended. In addition, our current certificate of incorporation provides that our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages to us for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted by the DGCL unless they violated their duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized unlawful payments of dividends, unlawful stock purchases or unlawful redemptions, or derived improper personal benefit from their actions as directors.

        We have entered into agreements with our officers and directors to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for in our current certificate of incorporation. Our bylaws also permit us to maintain insurance on behalf of any officer, director or employee for any liability arising out of his or her actions, regardless of whether Delaware law would permit such indemnification. We have obtained a policy of directors' and officers' liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our officers and directors.

        These provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder's investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

        We believe that these provisions, the insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors.

Executive Compensation

        None of our officers or directors have received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. Commencing on January 12, 2017, we agreed to pay monthly recurring expenses of $20,000 to The Gores Group for office space, administrative and secretarial support. Upon completion of a business combination or our liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees. In addition, we may pay our Sponsor or any of our existing officers or directors, or any entity with which they are affiliated, a finder's fee, consulting fee or other compensation in connection with identifying, investigation and completing a business combination. Our Sponsor, officers, directors, or any of their respective affiliates, may be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Our audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our

246


Table of Contents

Sponsor, officers, directors and our or their affiliates and will determine which fees and expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed. We note that some named executive officers have economic interests in our Sponsor. For more information about the interests of our Sponsor in the Business Combination, please see the section entitled "Proposal No. 1—Approval of the Business Combination—Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination."

        After the completion of our Business Combination, directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting or management fees from the post-combination company. For a discussion of our executive compensation arrangements after the closing of the Business Combination, please see the section entitled "Management After the Business Combination."

Audit Committee Report

        Our Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed our audited financial statements with management, and has discussed with our independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, which we refer to as "PCAOB," Auditing Standard No. 1301, "Communications with Audit Committees," referred to as PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 1301. Additionally, our Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from our independent registered public accounting firm, as required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB, and has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the independent registered public accounting firm's independence. Based upon such review and discussion, our Audit Committee recommended to our Board that the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 be included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the last fiscal year for filing with the SEC.

Fees and Services

        KPMG has audited our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. The following is a summary of fees paid or to be paid to KPMG for services rendered since August 15, 2016 (inception) through December 31, 2017.

        Audit Fees.    Audit fees consist of fees billed for professional services rendered for the audit of our year-end financial statements and services that are normally provided by KPMG in connection with regulatory filings. The fees billed by KPMG for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements, review of the financial information included in our Forms 10-Q for the respective periods, the registration statement, the Form 8-K filed in connection with the closing of our IPO and other required filings with the SEC for the period from August 15, 2016 (inception) through December 31, 2017 totaled $160,474. The above amounts include interim procedures and audit fees, as well as attendance at Audit Committee meetings.

        Audit-Related Fees.    Audit-related services consist of fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under "Audit Fees." These services include attest services that are not required by statute or regulation and consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards. We did not pay KPMG for audit-related fees for the period from August 15, 2016 (inception) through December 31, 2017.

THE COMPANY'S MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes of the Company included elsewhere in this proxy statement. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations, estimates and assumptions concerning events and financial trends that may affect our future operating results or financial position. Actual results and timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."

Overview

        We are a blank check company incorporated on August 15, 2016 as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a Business Combination with one or more target businesses. We completed our Public Offering on January 19, 2017.

        We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of our Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, our capital stock, debt, or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

Recent Developments

Proposed Verra Mobility Business Combination

        On June 21, 2018, the Company, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub, Greenlight and the Stockholder Representative entered into the Merger Agreement, which provides for, among other things, (i) the merger of First Merger Sub with and into Greenlight, with Greenlight continuing as the surviving corporation (the "First Merger") and (ii) immediately following the First Merger and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, the merger of Greenlight with and into Second Merger Sub with Second Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity (the "Second Merger" and, together with the First Merger, the "Mergers" and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the "Proposed Business Combination"). As a result of the First Merger, the Company will own 100% of the outstanding common stock of Greenlight and each share of common stock of Greenlight will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a portion of the consideration. As a result of the Second Merger, the Company will own 100% of the outstanding interests in the Second Merger Sub. Following the closing of the Proposed Business Combination, the Company will own, directly or indirectly, all the stock of Greenlight and its subsidiaries and the Greenlight Stockholders will hold a portion of the Company's Class A common stock.

The Merger Agreement

        The consideration to be paid to the Greenlight Stockholders will be a combination of cash and stock, as calculated pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and certain other transaction documents contemplated thereby. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the aggregate consideration payable to the Greenlight Stockholders will consist of (i) an amount in cash equal to the Closing Cash Payment Amount (as defined in the Merger Agreement), and (ii) shares of newly-issued Class A common stock equal to the Closing Number of Securities (as defined in the Merger Agreement). The merger consideration payable to the Greenlight Stockholders is also subject to adjustment based on Greenlight's working capital, cash and indebtedness as of the closing date, among other adjustments contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Based upon assumed net indebtedness of approximately $852 million (after giving effect to the partial repayment of existing indebtedness), the aggregate merger consideration to be paid by the Company is expected to be approximately $2.3 billion.

249


Table of Contents

        In addition to the consideration to be paid at the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement, certain of the Greenlight Stockholders will be entitled to receive additional earn-out payments from the Company of up to an aggregate of 10 million shares of Class A common stock, if the price of Class A common stock trading on the Nasdaq exceeds certain thresholds during the five-year period following the closing of the Mergers.

        Consummation of the Transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement is subject to customary closing conditions as well as specified cash availability conditions. The Merger Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties and may be terminated by the parties thereto as specified therein.

        In order to facilitate the Proposed Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to the cancellation of 3,478,261 of its Founder Shares and the Company has agreed to the purchase of shares of Class A common stock by the participants in the Private Placement (as defined below) (pursuant to the subscription agreements entered into in connection therewith) at a discounted price of $9.20.

        On June 21, 2018, the Company entered into subscription agreements with certain investors, including the Sponsor, pursuant to which the investors have agreed to purchase in the aggregate 43,478,261 shares of Class A common stock in a private placement for $9.20 per share (the "Private Placement"). The anticipated gross proceeds from the Private Placement of approximately $400,000,000 will be used to partially fund the cash consideration to be paid to the Greenlight Stockholders. The Private Placement is conditioned on, among other things, the closing of the Proposed Business Combination.

Tax Receivable Agreement

        At the closing of the Proposed Business Combination, the Company will enter into a Tax Receivable Agreement with the Platinum Stockholder and the Stockholder Representative. The Tax Receivable Agreement will generally provide for the payment by the Company to the Platinum Stockholder of 50% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that the Company actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after the closing of the Proposed Business Combination, as a result of the increase in tax basis of the intangible assets of HTA resulting from the acquisition of HTA by Verra Mobility Corporation prior to the Proposed Business Combination. The Company generally will retain benefit of the remaining 50% of these cash savings.

Results of Operations

        For the six months ended June 30, 2018, we had a net loss of ($746,385). Our business activities during the quarter mainly consisted of identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates for a Business Combination. We believe that we have sufficient funds available to complete our efforts to effect a Business Combination with an operating business by January 19, 2019. However, if our estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating a Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to a Business Combination.

        As indicated in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, at June 30, 2018, we had approximately $168,794 in cash and deferred offering costs of $14,000,000. Further, we expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to complete our Business Combination, including the Proposed Business Combination, will be successful.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        In August 2016, our Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 10,781,250 Founder Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.002 per share. Subsequently, our Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 75,000 Founder Shares to our independent directors. On February 27, 2017, following the expiration of the unexercised portion of the underwriter's over-allotment option, our Sponsor forfeited 781,250 Founder Shares so that the remaining Founder Shares held by our Initial Stockholders represented 20.0% of the outstanding shares upon completion of our Public Offering.

        On January 19, 2017, we consummated our Public Offering of 40,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, including 2,500,000 Units as a result of the underwriter's partial exercise of their over-allotment option, generating gross proceeds of $400,000,000. On the IPO Closing Date, we completed the private sale of an aggregate of 6,666,666 Private Placement Warrants, each exercisable to purchase one share of Common Stock at $11.50 per share, to our Sponsor, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds, before expenses, of $10,000,000. After deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions (excluding the Deferred Discount, which amount will be payable upon consummation of the Business Combination, if consummated) and the estimated offering expenses, the total net proceeds from our Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were $401,100,000, of which $400,000,000 (or $10.00 per share sold in the Public Offering) was placed in the Trust Account. The amount of proceeds not deposited in the Trust Account was $1,100,000 at the IPO Closing Date. Interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account may be released to us to fund our Regulatory Withdrawals (subject to an annual limit of $750,000, for a maximum of 24 months) and/or to pay our franchise and income taxes.

        On August 19, 2016, our Sponsor loaned us an aggregate of $150,000 by the issuance of an unsecured promissory note for $150,000 to cover expenses related to the Public Offering, and on January 11, 2017, our Sponsor loaned us an additional $150,000 by the issuance of a second unsecured promissory note for $150,000 to cover expenses related to the Public Offering. These Notes were non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of January 31, 2017 or the completion of the Public Offering. These Notes were repaid in full upon the completion of the Public Offering.

        As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had cash held outside of the Trust Account of approximately $168,794 and $826,201, respectively, which is available to fund our working capital requirements. Additionally, interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account may be released to us to fund our Regulatory Withdrawals (subject to an annual limit of $750,000, for a maximum of 24 months) and/or to pay our franchise and income taxes.

        At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had current liabilities of $3,097,932 and $198,119, respectively, largely due to amounts owed to professionals, consultants, advisors and others who are working on seeking a Business Combination as described in Note 1. Such work is continuing after June 30, 2018 and amounts are continuing to accrue. On June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had working capital of ($2,665,297) and $763,663, respectively.

        We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of Regulatory Withdrawals and taxes payable) to consummate our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete a Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of shares of our Common Stock upon completion of a Business Combination. See "Recent Developments—Private Placement Subscription Agreements." Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part,

251


Table of Contents

as consideration to consummate our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in our Trust Account, if any, will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategy. Following the closing of the Proposed Business Combination, we do not expect there to be remaining proceeds in our Trust Account.

Off-balance sheet financing arrangements

        We had no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements at June 30, 2018. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.

        We had not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or entered into any non-financial agreements involving assets.

Contractual obligations

        At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we did not have any long-term debt obligations, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or long-term liabilities. In connection with the Public Offering, we entered into an administrative services agreement to pay monthly recurring expenses of $20,000 to The Gores Group for office space, utilities and secretarial support. The administrative services agreement terminates upon the earlier of the completion of a Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company.

        The underwriter is entitled to underwriting discounts and commissions of 5.5%, of which 2.0% ($8,000,000) was paid at the IPO Closing Date, and 3.5% ($14,000,000) was deferred. The Deferred Discount will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. The underwriter is not entitled to any interest accrued on the Deferred Discount.

Critical Accounting Policies

        The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies:

Offering costs

        We comply with the requirements of the Accounting Standards Codification (the "ASC") 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A—"Expenses of Offering." Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the IPO Closing Date that were related to the Public Offering, totaling approximately $22,719,995, (including $22,000,000 in underwriter's fees), were charged to stockholders' equity upon completion of our Public Offering.

Redeemable Common Stock

        All of the 40,000,000 shares of Class A common stock sold as part of the Units in our Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such shares in connection with our liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with our Business

252


Table of Contents

Combination and in connection with certain amendments to our charter. In accordance with ASC 480, "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity" ("ASC 480"), redemption provisions not solely within our control require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity's equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of ASC 480. Although we did not specify a maximum redemption threshold, our charter provides that the Company will not redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets (stockholders' equity) to be less than $5,000,001.

        We recognize changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against accumulated deficit.

        Accordingly, at June 30, 2018, 38,294,216 of the 40,000,000 public shares are classified outside of permanent equity at their redemption value.

Net income/(loss) per common share

        The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A common stock and Class F common stocks. Net loss per common share is computed utilizing the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share separately for each class of common stock based on an allocation of undistributed earnings per the rights of each class. At June 30, 2018, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company under the treasury stock method. As a result, diluted net income/(loss) per common share is the same as basic net income/(loss) per common share for the period.

Income taxes

        Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

        In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (Topic 606) "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." Topic 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605 "Revenue Recognition" (Topic 605), and requires entities to recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. We currently anticipate the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

        In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 (Topic 842) "Leases." Topic 842 supersedes the lease recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 840, "Leases." Under Topic 842, lessees are required to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases and provide enhanced disclosures. Leases will continue to be classified as either finance or operating. Topic 842 is effective for annual reporting periods and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption by public entities is permitted. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements, and

253

there are certain optional practical expedients that an entity may elect to apply. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our financial statements.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        Market risk is a broad term for the risk of economic loss due to adverse changes in the fair value of a financial instrument. These changes may be the result of various factors, including interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and/or equity prices. Our business activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 consisted solely of organizational activities and activities relating to our Public Offering and the identification of a target company for a Business Combination. At June 30, 2018, $404,611,945 (including accrued interest and subject to reduction by the Deferred Discount due at the consummation of the Business Combination) was held in the Trust Account for the purposes of consummating our Business Combination. At June 30, 2018, investment securities in the Company's Trust Account consist of $404,609,948 and in United States Treasury Bills and $1,997 in cash. At June 30, 2018, the effective annualized interest rate payable on our investments was approximately 1.45%.

        We have not engaged in any hedging activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018. We do not expect to engage in any hedging activities with respect to the market risk to which we are exposed.

Controls and Procedures

        Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

        As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2018. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective. During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

INFORMATION ABOUT VERRA MOBILITY

Overview

        Verra Mobility believes it is a leading provider of smart mobility technology solutions and services throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. Verra Mobility provides integrated technology solutions and services which include toll and violations management, title and registration, automated safety solutions, and other data driven solutions to its customers, which include rental car companies ("RACs"), fleet management companies ("FMCs"), other large fleet owners, municipalities, school districts and violation issuing authorities. Verra Mobility's solutions simplify the smart mobility ecosystem by utilizing what Verra Mobility believes are industry leading capabilities, information and technology expertise, and integrated hardware and software to efficiently facilitate the automated processing of tolls and violations for hundreds of agencies and millions of end users annually, while also making cities and roadways safer for everyone.

        Based in Mesa, Arizona, Verra Mobility operates through two primary segments—Commercial Services and Government Solutions. Through its Commercial Services segment, Verra Mobility is the market leading provider of automated toll and violations management and title and registration solutions to RACs, FMCs and other large fleet owners in the United States and Canada. In Europe, Verra Mobility works with violation issuing authorities and specializes in the identification, notification, and collection of unpaid traffic, parking, and public transportation related violations incurred by vehicles registered in a country other than that in which the violation occurred. Through its Government Solutions segment, Verra Mobility is the market leading provider of automated safety solutions to municipalities and school districts, including services and technology that enable photo enforcement via road safety camera programs related to red light, speed, school bus, and city bus lanes.

Segments

Commercial Services (also referred to as Tolling & Fleet)

        Verra Mobility's Commercial Services segment generated approximately $91.4 million in revenues for 2017, or approximately 39% of 2017 revenues. The Commercial Services segment is the market leading provider of automated toll and violations management and title and registration solutions to RACs, FMCs and other large fleet owners in North America. Through its established relationships with more than 50 individual tolling authorities throughout the United States, Verra Mobility provides an automated and outsourced administrative solution for its customers while also providing a value-added convenience for vehicle drivers and benefits to the tolling and issuing authorities. Without Verra Mobility's toll and violations management solutions, its customers would bear the expense and administrative burden of matching tolls or violations to the responsible vehicle and driver, and then either transferring liability or paying the fee or fine directly (for which it may then need to bill the driver)—in either case within specified time periods to avoid the potential imposition of penalties. Verra Mobility mitigates these risks by ensuring timely payment for tolls and violations incurred by its customers' vehicles or by performing timely transfers of liability on its customers' behalf, and then billing and collecting from the driver as applicable. Additionally, for many of its customers, Verra Mobility also manages regional toll transponder installation and vehicle association, an especially critical and highly complex component of the RAC and FMC customers to ensure that the transponder (and associated toll transactions) are associated with the correct vehicle. Verra Mobility has long-standing relationships with the top three largest RACs in the United States—The Hertz Corporation, Avis Budget Group, and Enterprise Holdings, Inc.—among others, as well as the six largest United States FMCs—including Element, ARI, Enterprise Fleet Management, Wheels, LeasePlan and Donlen. Verra Mobility provides coverage for more than 95% of all toll roads in the United States and currently one toll road in Canada, processing more than 165 million toll transactions and 2.7 million traffic violations annually. Following the acquisition of Euro Parking Collection in

255


Table of Contents

April, 2018, Verra Mobility extended its customer base to include violation issuing authorities in Europe and expanded its commercial services to include identification, notification, and collection of unpaid traffic, parking, and public transportation related violations incurred by vehicle drivers not originating in the country the violation occurred.

Government Solutions

        Verra Mobility's Government Solutions segment generated approximately $140.7 million in revenues for 2017, or approximately 61% total 2017 revenues. This segment works with municipalities and school districts to help make cities and roadways safer for everyone through automated safety solutions. Verra Mobility provides municipalities and school districts with road safety cameras to detect and process traffic violations for red light, speed, school bus, and city bus lanes. Verra Mobility's proprietary hardware and software technology provide municipalities and school districts the information, data, and automated end-to-end administrative capabilities to enforce traffic violations through photo enforcement. On behalf of its customers, Verra Mobility owns, installs, maintains, and manages automated safety solution hardware and software, processes event data by applying customer specific rules, and connects a traffic violation to the responsible driver or vehicle owner. Additionally, upon law enforcement's determination that a violation has occurred, Verra Mobility manages the citation mailing, billing, and other administrative tasks on behalf of many of its customers. Other segment revenue consists of product revenues and other ancillary services.

        Verra Mobility is a critical partner to municipalities, school districts and law enforcement agencies across the United States, helping facilitate and increase public safety, enhance law enforcement officer safety, and act as a force multiplier, allowing for law enforcement to focus on more serious crimes rather than routine traffic violations. Verra Mobility currently has approximately 4,000 red light, speed, school bus and city bus lane road safety cameras installed across approximately 200 jurisdictions and school districts in 16 states, the District of Columbia and one Canadian province. On an annual basis, Verra Mobility processes approximately 8.5 million violations on behalf of its customers, including New York City, Seattle, Washington D.C., Austin, Independent School District, Chicago, Orlando, Dallas and Atlanta Independent School System.

Recent Developments

        Verra Mobility recently completed two highly strategic acquisitions which expanded its presence in Commercial Services—Highway Toll Administration ("HTA") and Euro Parking Collection ("EPC") in March and April of 2018, respectively.

HTA

        Founded in 2002, HTA is a provider of toll management solutions to customers in the United States RAC industry, offering services similar to Verra Mobility's toll management services. HTA's largest customer relationships were with Avis Budget Group and Enterprise Holdings Inc., in addition to other RACs such as Advantage, Silvercar, and Sixt. Prior to the acquisition, there was no customer overlap for the same product between HTA and Verra Mobility, allowing for significant customer diversification and growth through the combination.

EPC

        Founded in 1988 with operations in London and Budapest, EPC built an established presence with issuing authorities in 15 European countries. Issuing authorities are primarily comprised of public and police authorities, councils, municipalities, national government agencies, toll road operators and private parking companies. EPC services more than 450 customers in 18 languages and 13 currencies while working with 30 different vehicle licensing authorities ("VLAs") and issuing to vehicle owners or

256

drivers in more than 130 countries. EPC's European presence, integration with issuing authorities, and expansive billing and customer service capabilities offer Verra Mobility a platform to expand into Europe for RAC and FMC customers.

The Industries in Which Verra Mobility Operates

Tolling

        Tolling is an important feature of the United States transportation landscape, with United States tolling authorities collecting more than $13.8 billion in toll revenues in 2015. In 2015, drivers took more than 5.7 billion trips on United States tolled roads and crossings. As a result, tolling is one of the most effective and equitable ways to pay for highway infrastructure. In addition to the overall growth in tolling as reflected in the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration's tracking of total toll bridge, tunnel and road mileage, there is also a growing movement towards cashless and all-electronic tolling, which allows for more convenient, accurate and reliable processing and collection of toll incurrence fees as well as mitigates congestion on toll roads. The tolling industry is highly fragmented and complex as it is comprised of more than 50 tolling authorities, each operating as independent organizations with specific coverage regions and disparate technology platforms.

Commercial Fleet

        Verra Mobility's Commercial Services customers consist of RACs, FMCs and other large fleet owners. The $28.6 billion United States RAC industry is highly consolidated, with three companies accounting for a significant majority of United States RAC revenues in 2017. In addition to these larger nationwide RACs, smaller independent companies operate regionally throughout the United States. The industry is currently being driven by an increase in the average number of days a vehicle is rented. The industry is also being impacted by the rapid growth in the ride sharing market through recent partnerships with ride share providers like Uber and Lyft to rent vehicles to their independent drivers, leading to additional rental transactions. Management believes the European RAC market, while fragmented, is large in size. According to Automotive Fleet Magazine, there are 6.4 million commercial fleet vehicles in the United States, approximately 3.5 million of which are under management by FMCs. The fleet industry in North America is primarily centered on vocational vehicles utilized for transporting people along with the tools, parts and equipment required to perform their job, largely insulating the industry from disruptions caused by today's ride share and car share services. In Europe, the FMC market is estimated to be more than 6 million vehicles, with over half under management by the top 5 European FMCs.

Automated Safety

        The increase in road traffic and congestion, especially in and around major metropolitan areas, is one of the primary reasons behind the escalated traffic incident rate throughout the United States transportation network. Studies such as the New York City Red Light Camera Program Review 2016 Report demonstrate that automated safety solutions, including traffic violation photo enforcement, effectively modify driver behavior and increase road safety. Further, the nationwide increase in vehicle miles traveled, distracted driving resulting from cell phone usage, and the utilization of speed limit zones along with the adoption of nationwide safety programs like Vision Zero, a collaborative campaign helping communities reach their goals of eliminating all traffic fatalities and severe injuries, across most major U.S. cities, is driving capital investment to make meaningful strides in traffic safety.

Verra Mobility's Strengths

Market Leader with Highly Differentiated and Proprietary Platforms

        Verra Mobility has leading market shares in Commercial Services and Government Solutions, supported by its comprehensive portfolio of smart mobility technology solutions and services meeting the needs of its customers. Verra Mobility's outsourced solutions and services make otherwise complex, time consuming, high touch, and manual tasks seamless and automated while delivering consistently efficient and reliable outcomes. Verra Mobility's ability to interact and integrate with the disparate technology systems of its customers, tolling authorities, and violation issuing authorities has created a uniquely scaled and differentiated platform to meet customers' existing needs as well as introduce innovative products to meet their future needs. Further, Verra Mobility is the market leader in automated safety solutions holding market shares as a percentage of cameras of 46% in red light, 55% in speed, and 48% in school bus road safety cameras. Verra Mobility's hardware and software platform is supported by a portfolio of patents and intellectual property, allowing it to sustain its leading positions.

Recurring Revenue Business Model with Diversified Blue-Chip Customer Base

        Verra Mobility has a high recurring revenue business model that provides strong forward revenue visibility, which management estimates to be 97% recurring. Within Commercial Services, Verra Mobility's contracts are typically exclusive within the United States and multi-year in nature, with many customers having long-standing relationships with Verra Mobility. Within Government Solutions, Verra Mobility's contracts are typically multi-year in nature and often include a series of automatic renewals. Opportunities within Government Solutions are occasionally put out to bid via a request for proposal ("RFP") for which Verra Mobility may compete against other solutions providers. Since the beginning of 2017, Verra Mobility has won 60% of the RFPs for which it has responded in the Government Solutions segment.

High Value Proposition Benefiting Both Customers and Consumers

        Verra Mobility helps solve the increasingly complex and continuously evolving requirements of its Commercial Services customers. Verra Mobility alleviates the cost the customer would otherwise be responsible for from incurring fees and penalties related to tolls and violations by matching tolls and violations to the responsible vehicle driver, or acting as a backstop when a toll violation would otherwise occur. Verra Mobility utilizes its unique software platform, integrated with more than 50 individual tolling authorities across the United States and connected to the enterprise systems of its Commercial Services customers, to manage toll and violation incurrences between the applicable issuing authority and the customer's vehicle. In addition to limiting the potential for costly fines and penalties that can exponentially impact owners of large vehicle fleets when tolls or violations are not accurately or timely paid, the ability to operate a comprehensive national toll and violations management program on behalf of its customers alleviates the significant administrative burden and cost of managing a complex in-house solution. Further, Verra Mobility provides a convenient and readily available solution to the vehicle driver of the Commercial Services customers allowing them to seamlessly utilize cashless and all-electronic toll roads without their own individual transponder or the need to stop to pay cash for tolls (where available).

        Verra Mobility's Government Solutions products, including red light, speed, school bus and city bus lane road safety cameras, are an effective tool in helping municipalities, school districts and law enforcement increase traffic safety. Verra Mobility's automated safety solutions have proven effective in changing driver behavior in areas identified as traffic safety problem zones resulting in reduced traffic accidents and congestion. These products help to serve as force multipliers allowing law enforcement to focus on more serious crimes rather than routine traffic violations.

Sustainable Competitive Advantage in the Marketplace

        Management believes Verra Mobility has built a unique and sustainable competitive advantage through a combination of unmatched scale, proprietary hardware and software, and strong, differentiated relationships which would be difficult for its competitors to replicate.

        Verra Mobility manages toll and violation solutions for the more than 6 million vehicles owned by the largest RAC and FMC companies as well as other large fleet owners and processes more than 165 million toll transactions annually. The United States tolling industry is highly fragmented and is comprised of more than 50 tolling authorities, each operating as independent organizations with specific coverage regions and disparate technology platforms, which require unique and customized software integrations to manage on a national scale.

        Verra Mobility currently has approximately 4,000 road safety cameras installed across approximately 200 jurisdictions and school districts in 16 states, the District of Columbia and one Canadian province. On behalf of its customers, Verra Mobility owns, installs, maintains, and manages automated safety solution hardware and software, processes event data by applying customer specific rules-based requirements, and connects a traffic violation to the responsible driver or vehicle owner.

        Management believes that replicating Verra Mobility's Commercial Services and Government Solutions, whether in-house or through a competing third-party, would require a significant investment of time, capital and industry-specific knowledge. Within Commercial Services, a competitor would need the ability to complete the complex reconciliation processes involving large numbers of unique transactions across the numerous independent tolling authorities in the United States, prefund toll incurrences on behalf of customers, accurately match the toll transaction to the vehicle and driver, bill according to customer specific rules, and offer customer service to end consumers. Within Government Solutions, the combination of Verra Mobility's seasoned account management team and proprietary technology platform creates a strong competitive advantage. Additionally, Verra Mobility employs a government relations team that manages a network of state and local lobbyists to shape legislation in order to help customers achieve their desired traffic safety outcomes, further strengthening the overall customer relationship.

Strong Financial Results, Cash Flow Generation and Disciplined Cost Structures Provide a Platform for Future Growth

        Verra Mobility has demonstrated strong and consistent growth, with service revenues improving at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6% since 2015. Verra Mobility's recurring revenue business model, combined with its ability to win new business, provides visibility, stability, and a platform for future growth. Verra Mobility's scalable technology platform provides strong operating leverage and has driven increased operating margins. Further, Verra Mobility utilizes a disciplined approach to capital expenditures, optimizing the lifetime value of cameras. The combination of high margin products and a disciplined approach to capital expenditures allows Verra Mobility to generate strong cash flow.

Experienced Management Team with a Track Record of Success

        Verra Mobility's management team has a proven track record of operational excellence, financial performance, growth and ongoing product innovation. The management team, led by President and CEO David M. Roberts, collectively has over 150 years of experience and has a deep knowledge of the industry. The management team has further strengthened Verra Mobility's competitive positioning with the recent HTA and EPC transactions, expanding its solution offering and customer base and diversifying into new markets.

Growth Strategies

Benefit from Strong Industry Tailwinds

        Verra Mobility believes there is significant opportunity in both Commercial Services and Government Solutions to leverage strong industry momentum and trends. In Commercial Services, the number of toll roads is continuing to increase and there is continued migration towards cashless and all-electronic tolling. In Government Solutions, the public attention given to traffic safety issues for drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists, and law enforcement is intensifying.

        According to 2014 IBTTA estimates, annual tolling industry revenues in the United States could reach $65-70 billion by 2030. This increase in revenue is expected to be driven by an increase in the number of toll roads, including new express and high occupancy lanes in urban areas, dynamic tolling based on congestion pricing which allow toll rates to fluctuate based on real-time traffic trends, U.S. states that do not currently utilize toll roads implementing interstate tolling, and an overall need to fund a growing list of infrastructure maintenance and construction needs. In addition, from 2010 to 2015, many toll roads transitioned to either partially or completely cashless or all electronic and the tolling industry experienced a 76% increase in revenues from cashless and all-electronic toll transactions during this same period according to IBTTA. Both trends create significant opportunities for Verra Mobility to expand its market presence while developing relationships with both new and existing RACs, FMCs, consumers, and tolling authorities.

        The increase in the number of vehicle miles traveled each year and a heightened public awareness on traffic safety has highlighted the need for smart technology solutions to address traffic safety issues. Verra Mobility believes that as public focus intensifies, the demand for its Government Solutions offerings will grow as well, and that it is positioned to take advantage of these opportunities. Since the beginning of 2017, the Government Solutions Segment has successfully won 60% of the RFPs for the provision of photo enforcement services for which it responded.

Expand Platform with New Products

        Verra Mobility is an industry leader in the deployment of products and services that meet the increasingly complex and continuously evolving requirements of both existing and new customers. Verra Mobility is continuously looking toward the future, ensuring the development of relevant solutions today that will work tomorrow. Verra Mobility seeks to understand developing customer, consumer, and government trends that will shape tomorrow's smart mobility experiences both in the United States and internationally, all in an effort to ensure more people around the world reach their destination safely and easily.

        In the Commercial Services segment, Peasy, Verra Mobility's consumer tolling mobile phone and web application, is positioned for a fast track to market with an anticipated launch in the third quarter of 2018. Peasy automatically gives consumers complete protection from toll violations on most toll roads in the United States by leveraging Verra Mobility's existing integrations with tolling authorities. With an easy and convenient sign-up process through a mobile phone application or the internet, drivers can use most cashless or all-electronic tolls within the United States knowing that they will not incur costly toll violations, all managed through a single account with Peasy.

        In the Government Solutions segment, Verra Mobility is positioned to launch a handheld speed detection camera that gives municipalities and law enforcement agencies the ability to process and issue photo enforcement citations directly from the roadside. These cameras empower local law enforcement to review photos or video in real-time and at the site of the potential offense and determine whether a violation has occurred. If the law enforcement officer deems an offence has occurred, Verra Mobility will process the data and mail the citation along with the photo evidence to the violator as well as collect and process the payment on behalf of the municipality.

Leverage Existing Platform and Solutions in New and Growing End Markets

        In addition to the strong positive trends in its existing RAC and FMC end markets, Verra Mobility believes leveraging its differentiated capabilities into new and growing end markets, such as ride sharing, car sharing, autonomous vehicles, and over-the-road ("OTR") trucking fleets, provides very attractive growth opportunities. The ride sharing and car sharing market, which includes vehicles leased to individual drivers, gives Verra Mobility a low-risk opportunity to grow Commercial Services revenues while at the same time insulating itself from any market shift between ride sharing, car sharing and RACs. Further, this growth prospect comes at little additional investment as Verra Mobility is able to leverage the same technologies and solutions it has already developed for its RAC and FMC customers. Verra Mobility is also currently working with original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") to install its solutions, including Peasy, directly into vehicles, and Verra Mobility believes that, as an already established leader, it is well-positioned to be a first mover and to become the provider of choice in these new end markets. Additionally, the OTR market provides another significant untapped growth opportunity for Verra Mobility as there are approximately 3 million OTR trucks in the United States. OTR drivers are responsible for driving semi- or tractor-trailer trucks over long distances.

        Urban enforcement and citation processing solutions in the smart city movement is also a significant opportunity for Verra Mobility. As one example, according to Technavio, the smart parking industry in the United States is forecasted to grow by approximately 20% by 2019 and currently has no dominant players. As with ride sharing, autonomous vehicles and OTR companies, Verra Mobility's existing technologies and solutions could quickly and efficiently be adopted to take advantage of this unaddressed market, providing an additional avenue for growth.

        In addition, Government Solutions can leverage its long standing relationships with municipal customers to provide other smart mobility technology solutions, such as ALPR, and new developing technologies, such as smart lighting, surveillance, and connected vehicle technology.

Expand Global Footprint

        Verra Mobility believes there is significant opportunity to expand into attractive markets across Europe and beyond, by leveraging its recent acquisition of EPC. With an established European presence and more than 450 current customers, the EPC acquisition provides Verra Mobility a scalable platform from which it can grow its RAC and FMC business internationally. In addition to its established business in North America, Verra Mobility now has the capabilities to serve customers in 18 languages and 13 currencies, to leverage existing connections with VLAs in 15 countries for whom it bills violators in more than 130 countries. Given there is no pan-European competitor, Verra Mobility has an opportunity to leverage the EPC platform and provide existing and new RAC and FMC customers with a convenient and effective solution similar to its current offering in the United States. As Verra Mobility expands its direct-to-consumer offerings in the United States, the EPC platform provides an excellent opportunity to do the same in Europe. Verra Mobility estimates that the European consumer tolling and tolling violations market to be almost twice as large as the United States market, and believes there is no other company better positioned to take advantage of these opportunities.

Pursue Accretive Acquisitions

        In addition to organic growth initiatives, Verra Mobility has significant opportunities to increase its competitive positioning and strengthen its portfolio of products and solutions through strategic acquisitions. Verra Mobility has demonstrated the ability to identify and execute strategic acquisitions, as it did with Sunshine State Tag Agency in 2016 as well as HTA and EPC in 2018. Verra Mobility constantly monitors the market for potential acquisition targets, which are evaluated based on their potential strategic impact, including growth potential, synergies, end-market development, customer

relationships, technology, and cash flow. Verra Mobility's management team has a strong track record of integrating acquisitions and driving synergies, and has identified a strong pipeline for future acquisitions.

Products

Commercial Services

        Toll management solutions.    Verra Mobility provides fully outsourced toll management solutions for its RAC and FMC customers while also providing a value-added convenience for vehicle drivers via its established relationships and integrations with more than 50 individual tolling authorities throughout the United States. This comprehensive network allows RAC and FMC drivers the convenience of using cashless and all-electronic tolls throughout the United States. Additionally, this service helps prevent the liability and business disruption of costly toll violations incurred by vehicles owned by RAC and FMC customers and eliminates their need to manage a nationwide program internally. Verra Mobility's proprietary hardware and software technology allows it to effectively match a toll incurrence to the specific RAC or FMC vehicle and driver so that the toll incurrence can accurately and reliably be billed and collected on behalf of the RAC or FMC. Toll management solutions accounted for approximately 28% of Verra Mobility's 2017 revenues.

        Violations management solutions.    Verra Mobility's violations management solutions process violations incurred by the drivers of RAC and FMC vehicles by working with more than 8,000 domestic violation issuing authorities (400 of which Verra Mobility is directly integrated with) to either pay the fine on behalf of the vehicle owner (for which Verra Mobility is able to bill the vehicle driver) or to transfer liability directly to the vehicle driver. Vehicle-issued violations include parking and photo enforcement violations. Verra Mobility holds the leading market position with operations in all 50 U.S. states. In Europe, Verra Mobility specializes in the identification, notification, and collection of unpaid traffic, parking and public transport related fees, charges, and penalties issued to foreign registered vehicles or persons on behalf of issuing authorities in 15 European countries. Violation management solutions accounted for approximately 7% of Verra Mobility's 2017 revenues.

        Title and registration solutions.    Verra Mobility's title and registration solutions provide RAC and FMC customers and consumers with an integrated, end-to-end solution for managing vehicle titles and registrations and annual renewals. Verra Mobility provides automated title and registration solutions by leveraging connections with individual departments of motor vehicles for electronic title and registration processing in 16 states. Title and registration solutions accounted for approximately 5% of Verra Mobility's 2017 revenues.

Government Solutions

        Verra Mobility serves as a value-add partner to municipalities, school districts, and law enforcement agencies by providing road safety cameras that promote traffic safety and reduce traffic violations. Verra Mobility works with its customers to identify problematic traffic areas and install, maintain, and manage the technology platform needed to capture images or videos of drivers committing traffic violations. Red light cameras are placed at intersections to capture vehicles running red lights. Similarly, speed safety cameras are used to capture vehicles exceeding speed limits, either on a fixed basis or in a mobile platform, and often in school zones. School bus cameras are fixed to the side of buses to capture vehicles passing school buses with extended stop arms. Finally, bus lane cameras are designed to capture vehicles illegally driving in restricted bus lanes.

        Applying rules specified by each customer, Verra Mobility automatically sends the captured event to the designated enforcement agency of the customer, where an authorized individual determines if a violation occurred. Red light cameras, speed cameras, school bus cameras, and city bus lane cameras for red light, speed, school bus and city bus lanes accounted for approximately 57% of Verra Mobility's

2017 revenues. Other segment revenue consists primarily of ancillary revenue streams, including product revenues and other ancillary services.

Customers

        Verra Mobility has a diverse customer base across the United States, Canada, and Europe. Verra Mobility is a top provider of toll management solutions, violations management solutions, and title and registration solutions for nearly every major RAC and FMC provider nationwide, including The Hertz Corporation, Avis Budget Group, Enterprise Holdings, Inc., Fox Rent a Car, Advantage Rent A Car, Sixt, Element, ARI, Donlen, and Wheels. In addition, Verra Mobility provides automated safety solutions to municipalities and school districts including New York City, Seattle, Washington D.C., Austin, Independent School District, Chicago, Orlando, Dallas, and the Atlanta Independent School System. For the majority of its customers, Verra Mobility provides more than one product or service offering, addressing the diverse and varied needs of its clients.

Competition

        Although there is no single competitor that provides a similarly broad suite of solutions, Verra Mobility does face competition in certain automated safety solutions from other vendors in the areas of red light, school bus and speed photo enforcement. Verra Mobility also faces competition from both its own customers, as they may choose to invest in their own internal solutions, and new technologies, as it must continue to innovate for its offerings to remain competitive.

Intellectual Property

        Verra Mobility relies on a combination of patents, trademarks, trade secrets, copyrights and confidentiality agreements to protect its intellectual property. Verra Mobility takes steps to protect new intellectual property to safeguard its ongoing technological innovations and strengthen its brand, and believes it takes appropriate action against infringement or misappropriation of its intellectual property rights by others. Verra Mobility reviews third-party intellectual property rights to help avoid infringement, and to identify strategic opportunities.

        Verra Mobility's general policy is to seek patent protection for those inventions likely to be incorporated into its products and services or where obtaining such proprietary rights will improve its competitive position. Verra Mobility owns approximately 60 U.S. and foreign-issued patents and pending patent applications, including patents and rights to patent applications acquired through strategic transactions, which relate to various aspects of its products and technology. Verra Mobility's patent portfolio evolves as new patents are awarded to it and as older patents expire. Patents expire at various dates, generally 20 years from their original filing dates. While Verra Mobility believes that its portfolio of patents and applications has value, in general no single patent is essential to its business or any individual segment. In addition, any of its proprietary rights could be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or may not provide significant competitive advantages.

        Verra Mobility's business relies on both internally developed and externally licensed software to operate and provide its systems and deliver its services. Verra Mobility claims copyright on all internally developed software. Verra Mobility generally relies on common law protection for its copyrighted works. In addition, Verra Mobility relies on maintaining source code confidentiality to assure its market competitiveness. With respect to externally sourced software, Verra Mobility relies on contracts assuring its continued access for its business usage.

        Verra Mobility has approximately 25 registrations and pending applications in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions for trademarks and service marks, reflecting its many products and services. These registrations and applications include its historic brands, as well as Verra Mobility. These marks may have a perpetual life, subject to periodic renewal and may be subject to cancellation or invalidation

based on certain use requirements and third-party challenges, or on other grounds. Verra Mobility vigorously enforces and protect its marks.

Government Regulation

        Verra Mobility is subject to various local, state and federal laws, regulations and administrative practices regulating matters such as data privacy, photo enforcement, consumer protection, procurement, anti-kickback, equal employment, minimum wages and the environment, among others. Verra Mobility's operations are subject to regulation by various U.S. federal agencies, including the U.S. Department of Transportation, ("USDOT"), the Federal Trade Commission, ("FTC"), the Federal Communications Commission, the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the Environmental Protection Agency, as well as comparable state and local agencies, including the departments of transportation, departments of motor vehicles, and offices of inspector general. Following the acquisition of EPC, Verra Mobility is now subject to laws, regulations and administrative practices addressing many of these same matters in Europe, including those specifically relating to accessing and use of information obtained from VLAs, as well as European regulations to traffic enforcement and collections.

        As part of its business, Verra Mobility processes, collects, uses and discloses personal information directly or for its customers and, therefore, is subject to various laws protecting privacy and security of personal information, including the U.S. Driver Privacy Protection Act and GDPR in the European Union. Verra Mobility is also subject to similar restrictions and audit requirements pursuant to its contracts with the organizations from which Verra Mobility gains access to personal information, such as departments of motor vehicles and NLETS. Privacy laws and regulations are constantly evolving and changing, are subject to differing interpretations and may be inconsistent among countries and state and local jurisdictions, or conflict with other rules. As Verra Mobility expands its operations in foreign countries following the EPC acquisition, its liability exposure and the complexity and cost of compliance with data and privacy requirements, including the GDPR, will increase. Laws and practices regarding handling and use of personal and other information by companies have also come under increased public scrutiny, and governmental authorities, consumer agencies and consumer advocacy groups have called for increased regulation and changes in industry practices.

        Automated photo enforcement camera programs in the United States are typically regulated at the state and local level, not the federal level. Since 2010, there have been over 1,500 pieces of legislation introduced nationwide related to the photo enforcement industry. In general, photo enforcement is administrated by local authorities, including counties, municipalities and school districts, under either state enabling legislation or under home rule authority established under the relevant state constitution. Where enabling legislation is not required, local ordinances impose further restrictions within a given jurisdiction. Whether in a state requiring enabling legislation or in home rule states where municipalities pass ordinances permitting photo enforcement, if the legislation or ordinance is subsequently banned or repealed, or not renewed if required, photo enforcement activities would stop. At times, state Attorneys General have issued opinions interpreting photo enforcement laws and the permissibility of certain practices or other requirements of practice that further restrict private activities. For example, the Attorneys General of Arizona, Tennessee and Virginia have each issued opinions in recent years that impacted photo enforcement activities.

        Verra Mobility's Government Solutions customers are typically municipalities and school districts and its operations within this segment are therefore subject to state and local procurement laws pertaining to gifts and entertainment, payments of commissions and contingency fees, conflicts of interest and other matters. These laws are overseen by different government agencies, depending on the jurisdiction, including departments of procurements services, contracting offices and offices of inspector general. In large municipalities, many of which have their own offices of the inspector general, these laws and regulations tend to be much more detailed and impose greater restrictions.

264


Table of Contents

        To successfully navigate this regulatory landscape, Verra Mobility has a dedicated government relations team that works with state legislators and local authorities, often with the help of lobbyists and consultants, to track and help support favorable camera-enforcement safety legislation. Through this network, Verra Mobility has a presence in every state in which its Government Solutions segment does business. These lobbying activities are subject to state and local lobbying regulations and registration requirements.

        In connection with the installation of photo enforcement systems, Verra Mobility or its customers routinely obtain permits from various state and local permitting authorities, and Verra Mobility monitors its compliance with the rules and regulations of the USDOT and state departments of transportation relating to matters such as training, policies and procedures. As a government contractor providing photo enforcement services directly or through subcontractors (including design, engineering, construction, installation, and maintenance) in various locations throughout the country, Verra Mobility is at times required to obtain licenses regarding general contracting, performance of engineering services, performance of electrical work, performance of private investigative work and processing license plate and related personal information, and periodically receives notices from regulatory authorities regarding these matters and inquiring as to Verra Mobility's compliance with the applicable state and local laws and regulations.

        Verra Mobility believes it is in substantial compliance with the laws and regulations that regulate its business. There are, however, significant uncertainties involving the application of various legal requirements, the violation of which could result in, among other things, fines, penalties, revocation of permits or licenses, cessation of operations in a given jurisdiction and other adverse consequences. See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Verra Mobility's Business."

Legal Proceedings

        Verra Mobility is subject to legal and regulatory actions that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business, and may be subject to similar or other claims in the future. Legal disputes and other claims and proceedings may relate to, among other things, intellectual property, commercial arrangements, negligence and fiduciary duty claims, vicarious liability based on conduct of individuals or entities outside of Verra Mobility's control, including its third-party service providers, antitrust claims, deceptive trade practices, general fraud claims and employment law claims, including compliance with wage and hour regulations. In addition to more general litigation, at times Verra Mobility has also been a named party in claims made against its customers, including putative class actions challenging the legality and constitutionality of automated photo enforcement and other similar programs of its Government Solutions customers, and consumer fraud claims brought against it and its Commercial Services customers alleging faulty disclosures regarding Verra Mobility's services. From time to time, Verra Mobility may also be reviewed or investigated by U.S. federal, state or local regulators or regulators in the foreign jurisdictions in which it operates regarding these and other matters, including proper licensing and tax assessments. All litigation is inherently unpredictable and Verra Mobility could incur judgments or enter into settlements or claims in the future that could materially impact its results.

        In October 2014, several putative class actions were filed in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Florida seeking monetary damages and declaratory and injunctive relief arising from the claim that the local government defendants had improperly delegated their police power to the external vendors providing red light photo enforcement services, including defendants who are customers of Verra Mobility. These putative class actions, which were consolidated in Parker v. City of Apopka et. al., arose from an October 2014 appellate decision by the Fourth District Court of Appeal in Florida in which the court affirmed the dismissal of the traffic citation issued under the City of Hollywood's red light camera enforcement program on the grounds that the city had improperly delegated its police power to Verra Mobility. These matters have been stayed pending the Florida Supreme Court's

265

resolution of another contested traffic citation involving similar allegations, Florida ex rel. City of Aventura v. Jimenez. In May 2018, the Florida Supreme Court ruled in favor of the City of Aventura, a Verra Mobility customer, holding that the red light camera enforcement program was not an impermissible delegation of police power. Jimenez's motion for rehearing was denied on July 3, 2018. On July 11, 2018, the trial court in Parker issued a sua sponte order dismissing the lawsuit based on the Florida Supreme Court's ruling in Jimenez. The plaintiff's deadline to appeal expired, and this matter is therefore fully resolved in Verra Mobility's favor.

Employees

        As of June 6, 2018, Verra Mobility employed 714 people, 26 of which were subject to a collective bargaining agreement. Verra Mobility believes its relations with its employees is good and has not experienced a strike or other significant work stoppage.

Properties

        Verra Mobility leases all of the properties used in its business, including 108,460 square feet of office space for its corporate headquarters in Mesa, AZ. In addition to the corporate headquarters, Verra Mobility also leases office space in various locations where it has operations for corporate and administrative purposes, and leases several small warehouse locations. Verra Mobility does not consider any of these properties to be material to its business.

Basis of Presentation

        On May 31, 2017, private equity vehicles sponsored by Platinum Equity acquired Verra Mobility pursuant to the Platinum Merger. The Platinum Merger was effected pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated April 15, 2017 by and among Verra Mobility Corporation (formerly known as ATS Consolidated, Inc.), Greenlight Merger Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Greenlight Acquisition Corporation ("Acquirer"), and Acquirer, whereby Verra Mobility Corporation merged with and into Greenlight Merger Corporation with the former surviving the merger. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Principles and Policies, to the Consolidated Financial Statements of Verra Mobility Corporation included elsewhere in this proxy statement.

        Pursuant to the Platinum Merger, a new basis of accounting at fair value was established in accordance with U.S. GAAP under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business

267


Table of Contents

Combinations. The new stepped-up basis was pushed down by Acquirer to Verra Mobility Corporation. The consolidated financial statements and footnotes of Verra Mobility Corporation contained elsewhere in this proxy statement are presented in distinct periods to indicate the application of two different bases of accounting between the periods presented. As a result of purchase accounting, the pre-Platinum Merger and post-Platinum Merger consolidated financial statements are not comparable. Depreciation and amortization and interest expense were the primary line items impacted in any material respect by the purchase accounting adjustments related to the Platinum Merger.

        In the accompanying financial information and discussion and analysis, all periods presented up to and including May 31, 2017 relate to the "Predecessor", including the period from January 1, 2017 to May 31, 2017 (the "2017 Predecessor Period") and have been prepared using the historical basis of accounting of the Predecessor. The period from June 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 (the "2017 Successor Period") relate to the "Successor."

Executive Summary

        Verra Mobility operates with long-term contracts and a highly recurring service revenue model. Verra Mobility continues to execute on its strategy of growing revenues with existing customers, expanding offerings into adjacent markets and reducing operating costs. During the periods presented, Verra Mobility:

    Grew service revenue from $193.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2015 to $228.2 million in the calendar year ended December 31, 2017 by expanding into title and registration solutions and growing solutions with existing customers.

    Improved its cost structure as operating expenses as a percentage of service revenue decreased from 42.5% in the year ended December 31, 2015 to 37.1% for calendar year 2017.

    Generated cash flows from operating activities of $49.8 million, $44.0 million and $57.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

    Executed on strategy to increase operating leverage establishing structure and discipline company-wide, while retaining the entrepreneurial drive that management believes is vital for a fast growing technology-based company.

    Executed on growth strategies by completing three strategic acquisitions: Sunshine, a title and registration business servicing existing Verra Mobility customers, in 2016; HTA, a tolling company with expected synergies, in the first quarter of 2018, which management believes cemented Verra Mobility as the leader in tolling and related services to RAC and FMC customers; and EPC in the second quarter of 2018, providing a platform to expand Verra Mobility's RAC and FMC solutions into Europe.

Factors Affecting Verra Mobility's Operating Results

        Verra Mobility's operating results and financial performance are influenced by certain unique events during the periods discussed herein, including the following:

EPC Acquisition

        On April 6, 2018, Verra Mobility acquired EPC for an aggregate purchase price of $62.9 million. The purchase consideration consisted primarily of equity in Greenlight and working capital adjustments, which aggregated $2.6 million. The receipt of the equity was treated for accounting purposes as a capital contribution from Acquirer. EPC contributed approximately $2.4 million in revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Verra Mobility recognized $3.0 million of costs related to the transaction, in the three months ended June 30, 2018. See Note 2, Business Combinations, of the

Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Verra Mobility Corporation included elsewhere in this proxy statement.

HTA Acquisition and Refinancing

        On March 1, 2018, Verra Mobility acquired HTA for an aggregate purchase price of $604.1 million, consisting of $534.7 million in cash, including $9.7 million in purchase price adjustments and an estimated $12.0 million payment to the sellers for certain tax items, and the issuance of equity in Greenlight with a fair value of approximately $57.3 million. The receipt of the equity was treated for accounting purposes as a capital contribution from Acquirer. HTA contributed approximately $37.9 million in revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Verra Mobility recognized $15.6 million of costs related to the transaction, in the six months ended June 30, 2018. See Note 2, Business Combinations, of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Verra Mobility Corporation included elsewhere in this proxy statement.

        In connection with the HTA acquisition, Verra Mobility refinanced its indebtedness entered into in 2017 in connection with the Platinum Merger and entered into new credit facilities providing for term loans with an aggregate principal amount of $1.04 billion and a revolver with an aggregate commitment of up to $75.0 million (together, the "2018 Credit Facilities"). Verra Mobility recorded a loss on extinguishment of the 2017 Credit Facilities of approximately $10.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018, which included a prepayment penalty of $3.8 million related to one of the term loans. See Note 7, Debt, to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Verra Mobility Corporation included elsewhere in this proxy statement.

Platinum Merger and Refinancing

        In connection with the Platinum Merger, Verra Mobility recognized approximately $31.0 million of aggregate expenses related to the transaction between the 2017 Predecessor Period and 2017 Successor Period. For the 2017 Predecessor Period, approximately $21.1 million of costs were included in selling, general and administrative expenses, consisting of $11.9 million of payments under the 2016 equity plan, $1.3 million of transaction bonus payments, and $7.9 million of professional fees and other expenses related to the sale of the company. For the 2017 Successor Period, approximately $9.9 million of costs were included in the selling, general and administrative expenses related to the transaction. See Note 3, Merger and Acquisition, to the Consolidated Financial Statements of Verra Mobility Corporation included elsewhere in this proxy statement.

        The Predecessor's $150.0 million revolving credit facility was refinanced in connection with the Platinum Merger, with the Successor entering into new credit facilities providing for term loans in the aggregate principal amount of $450.0 million and a revolver with an aggregate commitment of up to $40.0 million (together, the "2017 Credit Facilities"). The $450.0 million term loans also increased interest expense for the 2017 Successor Period. See Note 9, Debt, to the Consolidated Financial Statements of Verra Mobility Corporation included elsewhere in this proxy statement.

Sunshine Acquisition

        On January 27, 2016, Verra Mobility acquired certain of the assets and liabilities of Sunshine State Tag Agency, Inc., Auto Tag of America, Inc. and Auto Titles of America, Inc., (collectively "Sunshine") for net consideration of approximately $21.2 million. Sunshine was a title and registration processing company with operations in Florida, Texas and Arizona. See Note 3, Merger and Acquisition, to the Consolidated Financial Statements of Verra Mobility Corporation included elsewhere in this proxy statement.

Primary Components of Operating Results

Revenues

        Total revenues consist of service revenues generated by Verra Mobility's Commercial Services and Government Solutions segments and product sales generated by the Government Solutions segment.

        Service Revenue.    The Commercial Services segment primarily generates service revenue through the management and operation of tolling programs for RACs, FMCs and other large fleet customers. These solutions are full service offerings by which Verra Mobility enrolls plates of its customers' vehicles with tolling authorities, processes payments on the customers' behalf and, through proprietary technology, integrates with customer data to match the toll to the driver and then bills the driver for use of the service. The cost of certain tolls, violations and Verra Mobility's customers' share of administration fees are netted against revenue. Verra Mobility also generates service revenue in the Commercial Services segment through processing titles, registrations and violations for Verra Mobility's customers.

        The Government Solutions segment generates service revenue through the operation and maintenance of safety enforcement systems. This revenue is generally tied to long term contracts and revenue is recognized when either services are performed or, when citations are issued or paid, depending on the terms of the customer contract. Revenue drivers included the number of systems installed and the monthly revenue per system. Ancillary service revenue is generated in the Government Solutions segment from payment processing, pass through fees for collection expense, street light maintenance contracts and other fees.

        Product Sales.    Product sales are generated by the sale of photo enforcement equipment to certain Government Solutions customers. There are a small number of customers who purchase this equipment and their buying patterns vary greatly from period to period. Product sales revenue is recognized when the equipment is accepted or installed.

Cost and Expenses

        Cost of Service Revenue.    Cost of service revenue consists of collection and other professional services contracted with third parties and associated with the delivery of certain ancillary services performed by both the Government Solutions and Commercial Services segments.

        Commercial Services service revenue increased by $15.0 million, or 23.0%, from $65.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 to $80.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. Verra Mobility acquired Sunshine, a title and registration processor, on January 27, 2016 which contributed $9.5 million to the year over year growth. Tolling services grew $7.8 million as a result of an increased number of tolls incurred by Verra Mobility's customers and a new integration with a tolling authority in California, partially offset by an increase to the customer share of administration fees for certain customers. Violation services decreased by $2.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to the prior year due to the California toll authority integration, which shifted revenue to the tolling service.

        Government Solutions service revenue increased by $4.2 million, or 3.3%, to $132.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 from $128.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. Speed, School Bus Arm and Bus Lane systems revenues increased by $2.6 million, $2.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively over the prior year. The revenue growth for these products was directly related to the increased number of enforcement systems installed. Revenue from Red Light systems of $82.7 million declined by $3.0 million from the prior year, primarily due to a decline in the number of installed cameras. The remaining increase in service revenue resulted from increased ancillary fees, which are highly correlated to revenue from safety enforcement systems. There were 3,172 and 3,862 systems installed at December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively.

        Product sales.    Product sales increased by $8.0 million from $10.3 million for the year ended 2015 to $18.2 million for the same period in 2016. During 2016, Verra Mobility experienced a high volume of product sales, primarily Speed systems. There are a small number of customer who purchase this equipment and their buying patterns vary greatly from year to year.

        Cost of Service Revenue.    Cost of service revenue decreased by $0.6 million, or 17.4%, to $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 from $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. For the year ended December 31, 2016, $2.4 million, or 89%, related to Government Solutions service revenues and $0.3 million related to Commercial Services service revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2015, $2.7 million, or 83%, related to Government Solutions service revenues and $0.5 million related to Commercial Services service revenues. The $0.6 million decline for the year ended December 31, 2016 primarily relates to reduction in volume of third parties used to verify billing addresses and other services supporting Verra Mobility's service revenue.

        Cost of Product Sales.    Cost of product sales increased by $3.2 million, or 51.7%, to $9.5 million for the year end December 31, 2016 from $6.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. This increase was directly related to the increase in product sales.

The remaining increase resulted from increased technology services, payroll and payroll related expense needed to support the growth in Service revenue.

        Government Solutions operating expense decreased by $7.5 million, or 11.8%, from $63.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 to $55.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. Payroll and payroll related expense decreased by $5.3 million in the periods presented due to actions taken to optimize the workforce in the back half of 2015 and early 2016, including outsourcing the routine service of photo enforcement system, which increased sub-contracting expense but achieved management's objective of moving toward a more variable cost structure.

        Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.    Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2016 increased by $0.3 million to $53.0 million compared to $52.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. This change represented a $1.3 million increase to selling, general and administrative expenses within Verra Mobility's operating segments, which are described in further detail below, partially offset by a $1.0 million reduction in corporate expenses. The reduced corporate expenses resulted primarily from the net impact of $2.1 million of non-recurring severance charges in the year ended December 31, 2015 related to the realignment of the executive team during the year compared to $1.2 million in transaction related expenses during the year ended December 31, 2016.

        Commercial Services selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $4.3 million, or 18.0%, from $23.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 to $28.2 million for the year end December 31, 2016. $1.1 million of the year-over-year change related to the acquisition of Sunshine. The remaining increase related to marketing, travel, payroll and related payroll expenses to support the growth in service revenue for this segment.

        Government Solutions selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $3.0 million, or 11.3%, from $26.7 million for the year ended 2015 to $23.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 due primarily to a decrease in legal and other professional services expenses in 2016.

        Depreciation, Amortization, Impairment, Gain or Loss on Disposal of Assets, Net.    Depreciation, amortization, impairment, gain or loss on assets, net, decreased by $5.8 million, or 14.6%, from $39.7 million for the year ended 2015 to $33.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. Depreciation decreased by $4.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to the same period in the prior year as assets purchased in prior years became fully depreciated. This decrease was partially offset by a $1.0 million increase in amortization expense resulting from the acquisition of Sunshine in January 2016. The remaining change between periods related to a loss on sale of equipment during 2015 that did not repeat in 2016.

        Interest Expense.    Interest expense increased by $0.6 million, or 29.2%, from $2.1 million to $2.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively. This increase is directly in line with the increase in outstanding debt from $29.5 million to $69.9 million at December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively.

        Other (Income) and Expense, Net.    Other income and expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015 was a net expense of $2.2 million compared to net income of $2.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2016. The year over year change of $4.6 million was primarily attributable to a $4.3 million earn-out associated with a 2014 acquisition within the Commercial Services segment which was expensed and paid in 2015.

        Income Tax Provision.    Income tax provision increased by $14.8 million from $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 to $18.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. The change was directly related to the increase in income before tax provision. The effective tax rate was 25.1% in 2015 and 39.2% in 2016. The 2015 effective tax rate was benefited by state operating loss carryforwards that began to expire in 2016 and $3.5 million of research and development tax credits.

        Net Income.    Verra Mobility had net income of $29.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, as compared to $11.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015. The growth in net income was directly related to Verra Mobility's ability to grow total revenue by $27.2 million while focusing on operational efficiencies that held operating and selling, general and administrative expenses relatively flat year over year.

        Adjusted EBITDA.    For the year ended December 31, 2016 adjusted EBITDA was $87.1 million, an increase of $24.4 million or 38.9% from the year ended December 31, 2015. The growth in adjusted EBITDA was directly related to Verra Mobility's ability to grow total revenue by $27.2 million while focusing on operational efficiencies that held operating and selling, general and administrative expenses relatively flat year over year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Verra Mobility's principal sources of liquidity have been cash flow from operations, long-term borrowings and borrowings under revolving credit facilities.

288


Table of Contents

        Verra Mobility has incurred significant long-term debt, as described below, to fund the Platinum Merger and the HTA acquisition.

        Verra Mobility believes that the existing cash and cash equivalents and cash flows provided by operating activities will be sufficient to meet operating cash requirements and service debt obligations for at least the next 12 months. Verra Mobility's ability to generate sufficient cash from its operating activities depends on Verra Mobility's future performance, which is subject to general economic, political, financial, competitive and other factors beyond its control. In addition, Verra Mobility's future capital expenditures and other cash requirements could be higher than currently expected due to various factors, including any expansion of its business that it undertakes, including strategic acquisitions. Should Verra Mobility pursue additional strategic acquisitions, Verra Mobility may need to raise additional capital, which may be in the form of additional long-term debt, which may not be available to Verra Mobility on favorable terms, borrowings on the revolver under the 2018 Credit Facilities (the "New Revolver"), equity financings or at all. See the section entitled "Risk Factors."

        Verra Mobility had working capital surplus, at June 30, 2018, December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 of $67.5 million, $57.8 million and $51.0 million, respectively. Verra Mobility has the ability to borrow under its revolving credit facility to meet obligations as they come due. At June 30, 2018, Verra Mobility had $52.0 million available for borrowing, net of letters of credit, under the New Revolver.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

        Cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $12.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and consisted of a $27.0 million net loss combined with a $13.0 million increase to net operating assets driven primarily by an $11.5 million increase to accounts receivable offset by $52.3 million of non-cash charges including depreciation and amortization of $46.0 million.

        During the 2017 Successor Period from June 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017, cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $7.8 million. This amount was primarily the result of net income for the period and a $4.2 million reduction in prepaid expenses and other assets, primarily due to the timing of the receipt of a purchasing credit for credit card purchases and a $4.8 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities due to the timing of payments to vendors, partially offset by a $17.2 million increase in accounts receivable due to the timing of billings and customer payments. During the 2017 Predecessor Period, cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $42.0 million. This amount was primarily the result of net income for the period and a $22.4 million increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities related to transaction expenses incurred by the sellers in the Platinum Merger and an $8.0 million decrease in accounts receivable and unbilled receivables due to the timing of billings and customers payments. Cash provided by (used in) operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2016 decreased to $44.0 million from $57.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. The decrease in cash provided by (used in) operating activities between periods

289


Table of Contents

was primarily due to the $15.4 million increase in accounts receivable and unbilled receivables due to the timing of billings and customer payments and a $5.4 million decrease in other liabilities partially offset by a $17.6 million increase in net income.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

        Cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $(536.5) million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and was due primarily to the HTA acquisition. Cash consideration for the HTA acquisition was $531.7 million and was net of $3.0 million of cash acquired from the acquisition. Cash used during the six months ended June 30, 2018 also included $11.4 million of capital expenditures for camera systems and related items for the Government Solutions segment. The Company also received net cash inflows of $6.4 million from the EPC acquisition consisting of $2.6 million of cash consideration offset by $9.0 million of cash acquired.

        During the 2017 Successor Period from June 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017, cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $(554.8) million. This amount was primarily the result of the Platinum Merger. During the 2017 Predecessor Period, cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $(8.8) million. This amount was primarily the result of $9.0 million of capital expenditures for camera systems and related items for the Government Solutions segment. Cash provided by (used) in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2016 increased to $(35.1) million from $(13.1) million for year ended December 31, 2015. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the Sunshine acquisition.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

        Cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $545.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and was due to Verra Mobility entering into the 2018 Credit Facilities to fund the HTA acquisition and to repay the outstanding balance on the 2017 Credit Facilities, which totaled approximately $450.5 million. Cash payments made in connection with the issuance of the 2018 Credit Facilities and the repayment of the 2017 facilities were $29.5 million and $8.2 million, respectively.

        During the 2017 Successor Period from June 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017, cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $555.7 million. This amount was primarily the result of Verra Mobility entering into the 2017 Credit Facilities in connection with the Platinum Merger. During the 2017 Predecessor Period, cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $(27.5) million. This amount was primarily the result of net repayments on Verra Mobility's revolver. Cash provided by (used in) financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2016 decreased to $(7.0) million from $(43.9) million for year ended December 31, 2015. The decrease in cash provided by (used in) financing activities was primarily due to net borrowings on Verra Mobility's revolver of $40.4 million versus net repayments on Verra Mobility's revolver of $43.8 million in the comparable prior period, partially offset by payment of a cash dividend of $47.1 million in 2016.

Debt

        In connection with the HTA Merger, Verra Mobility entered into the 2018 Credit Facilities, a First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement (the "New First Lien Term Loan"), a Second Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement (the "New Second Lien Term Loan"), (collectively the "New Term Loans") and the New Revolver with a syndicate of lenders. The 2018 Credit Facilities provide for committed senior secured financing of $1.115 billion, consisting of the New Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount of $1.04 billion and the New Revolver available for loans and letters of credit with an aggregate revolving commitment of up to $75 million (based on borrowing based eligibility as described below).

        Aggregate principal amounts due on the New First Lien and New Second Lien Term Loans are $837.9 million and $200 million, respectively. The 2018 Credit Facilities replaced the 2017 Credit

290


Table of Contents

Facilities, which included the preexisting First and Second Lien Term Loans (the "Old Term Loans), which were repaid concurrent with the closing on the 2018 Credit Facilities and also replaces the preexisting revolver (the "Old Revolver"), which was undrawn at close. The outstanding balances at the date of close on the Old First and Second Lien Term Loans, which were repaid with proceeds from the 2018 Credit Facilities, were $323 million and $125 million, respectively.

        The New First Lien Term Loan is repayable in quarterly installments of 1.0% per annum of the amount initially borrowed. The New First Lien and New Second Lien Term Loans mature on February 28, 2025 and February 28, 2026, respectively. The New First Lien Term Loan bears interest based, at Verra Mobility's option, on either (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.75% per annum, or (2) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 2.75% per annum. The New Second Lien Term Loan bears interest based, at Verra Mobility's option, on either (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 7.75% per annum or (2) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 6.75% per annum. At June 30, 2018, the interest rates on the New First Lien and New Second Lien Term Loans were 5.8% and 9.8%, respectively.

        The New Second Lien Term Loan may be redeemed by Verra Mobility at any time, in whole or in part, at the redemption price plus accrued interest up to the redemption date. The redemption price on the New Second Lien Term Loan is equal to 102% of the aggregate principal amount for redemptions occurring through March 1, 2019, 101% of the aggregate principal amount for redemptions occurring after March 1, 2019 through March 1, 2020 and 100% of the aggregate principal amount for redemptions occurring after March 1, 2020.

        In addition, the New First and Second Lien Term Loans contain provisions that require mandatory prepayments equal to 50% of excess cash flow (as defined by the New Term Loan agreements); provided that, (a) for the new First Lien Term Loan, at any time the consolidated first lien net leverage ratio (as defined by the New Term Loan agreements) on the last day of the fiscal year is less than or equal to 3.70:1.00 but greater than 3.20:1.00, the mandatory prepayment of the New First Lien Term Loan is equal to 25% of excess cash flow, and if less than 3.20:1.00, the mandatory prepayment on the New First Lien Term Loan is 0%; and (b) for the New Second Lien Term Loan, at any time the consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio (as defined by the Term Loan agreements) on the last day of the fiscal year is less than or equal to 4.70:1.00 but greater than 4.20:1.00 the mandatory prepayment is equal to 25% of excess cash flow and if less than 4.20:1.00 the mandatory prepayment is zero.

        The New Revolver matures on February 28, 2023. Borrowing eligibility under the New Revolver is subject to a monthly borrowing base calculation based on (i) certain percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory, less (ii) certain reserve items, including outstanding letters of credit and other reserves. Verra Mobility may at any time, on not more than five occasions, request an increase to the New Revolver of up to an aggregate amount of $50 million. The Revolver bears interest on either (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin, or (2) an alternate base rate, plus an applicable margin. The margin percentage applied to (1) LIBOR is either 1.25%, 1.50%, or 1.75%, or (2) the base rate is either 0.25%, 0.50%, or 0.75%, depending on Verra Mobility's average available availability to borrow under the commitment. At June 30, 2018, Verra mobility had no outstanding borrowings on the New Revolver and availability to borrow under the New Revolver was $52.0 million, net of $1.0 million of outstanding letters of credit.

        Interest on the unused portion of the Revolver is payable quarterly at 0.375% at June 30, 2018. Verra Mobility also is required to pay participation and fronting fees on $1.0 million in outstanding letters of credit at 1.63% as of June 30, 2018.

        All borrowings and other extensions of credits under the 2018 Credit Facilities are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions and restrictive covenants including absence of defaults and accuracy in material respects of representations and warranties. At June 30, 2018, Verra Mobility was compliant

291


Table of Contents

with the 2018 Credit Facilities covenants. Substantially all of Verra Mobility's assets are pledged as collateral to secure Verra mobility's indebtedness under the 2018 Credit Facilities.

        Verra Mobility recognized a charge of $10.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 consisting of a $3.8 million prepayment penalty on the Old Term Loan balances, a $2.0 million write-off of preexisting deferred financing costs and $4.4 million of lender and third-party costs associated with the issuance of the 2018 Credit Facilities.

        On July 24, 2018, Verra Mobility secured a $70 million incremental loan commitment under the New First Lien Term Loan. The proceeds of this incremental borrowing, together with a portion of the funds expected to be held in Gores Holdings II upon the closing of the Gores Holdings II Merger will be used to repay Verra Mobility's $200 million New Second Lien Term Loan in full. The Gores Holdings II Merger is contingent on shareholder approval. Verra Mobility anticipates that the incremental New First Lien Term Loan and the Gores Holdings II Merger will close at or near September 30, 2018. Based upon that anticipated timing, Verra Mobility expects to record a loss on extinguishment of the New Second Lien Term Loan of approximately $16.5 million, comprised of prepayment penalty on redemption of the New Second Lien Term Loan and the write-off of unamortized deferred financing and lender costs associated with the issuance of the New Second Lien Term Loan facility.

Tax Receivable Agreement

        At the closing of the Business Combination, the surviving entity will enter into the Tax Receivable Agreement with the Platinum Stockholder and the Stockholder Representative. The Tax Receivable Agreement will generally provide for the payment by the post-closing company to the Platinum Stockholder of 50% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that the post-closing company actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after the closing of the Business Combination as a result of the increase in the tax basis of the intangible assets of HTA which resulted from the acquisition of HTA by Verra Mobility prior to the Business Combination. The post-closing company generally will retain the benefit of the remaining 50% of these cash savings. Verra Mobility estimates the potential maximum benefit to be paid will be approximately $73 million. Verra Mobility currently expects to record the maximum benefit payout of $73 million as a liability at the closing of the Business Combination. Verra Mobility does not expect to commence making any cash payments until the first tax return filed after the closing of the Business Combination. Verra Mobility expects to record the benefits ratably over the remaining tax life of these intangible assets. Based on an assumed Business Combination closing date in September 2018, the remaining tax

292


Table of Contents

life of these intangible assets is approximately 14.5 years. The ultimate timing of payments of the TRA liability is uncertain due to the realization of the benefits from the HTA intangibles involving uncertainties in the amount and timing of Verra Mobility's future taxable income. Verra Mobility expects to fund future payments through cash flow from operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

        At June 30, 2018, Verra Mobility did not have any material off-balance sheet financing arrangements, nor did it have any interest in entities referred to as variable interest entities.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

        Verra Mobility is exposed to interest rate market risk due to the variable interest rates on the New Term Loans described above.

        Interest rate risk represents Verra Mobility's exposure to movements in interest rates associated with the variable rate debt represented by the New Term Loans. Total borrowings under the New Term Loans was $1.038 billion at June 30, 2018. The New First Lien Term Loan bears interest based, at Verra Mobility's option, on either (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.75% per annum, or (2) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 2.75% per annum. The New Second Lien Term Loan bears interest based, at Verra Mobility's option, on either (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 7.75% per annum or (2) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 6.75% per annum. At June 30, 2018, the interest rates on the New First Lien and New Second Lien Term Loans were 5.8% and 9.8%, respectively. Based on the June 30, 2018 New Term Loans balance outstanding, each 1% movement in interest rates will result in an approximately $10.4 million change in annual interest expense.

        The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the fair values assigned to net assets acquired (including identifiable intangibles) in business combinations, the carrying amounts of long-lived assets, goodwill and installation and service parts, the allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, and the fair values of asset retirement obligations, derivative instruments and share-based compensation. Management believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances; however, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

        A summary of Verra Mobility's significant accounting policies is included in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements of Verra Mobility Corporation included elsewhere in this proxy statement. We believe that the critical accounting policies listed below involve our more significant judgments, assumptions, and estimates and, therefore, could have the greatest potential impact on the financial statements.

Intangible Assets

        Intangible assets represent existing customer contracts and relationships, patents, trade names, developed technology and non-compete agreement intangibles. Other intangible assets are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives. Amortization of other intangible assets is included in depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statements of operations.

Table of Contents

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

        Verra Mobility reviews its long-lived assets for impairment annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. Verra Mobility recognizes an impairment loss if the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the long-lived asset is less than the carrying amount of the long-lived asset being evaluated.

        For the 2017 Successor Period, the 2017 Predecessor Period, the year ended December 31, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015, Verra Mobility recognized losses of $0.0 million, $0.0 million, $0.5 million, and $3.9 million respectively. These impairment losses are recorded in depreciation, amortization and gain (loss) on disposal of assets, net in the consolidated statements of operations. The majority of these losses relate to Government Solutions customers cancelling their program prior to the property and equipment being fully depreciated, necessitating the write-off of unrecoverable capitalized costs associated with the cameras. Verra Mobility believes the carrying amounts of its remaining long-lived assets at December 31, 2017 are fully realizable and does not believe any additional impairment losses are necessary.

Income Taxes

        Verra Mobility accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences attributable to differences between the balance sheet carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax liabilities and assets that are not related to an asset or liability are classified according to the expected reversal date of the temporary difference. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion of all the tax assets will not be realized. The realization of deferred tax assets can be affected by, among other things, the nature, frequency, and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the length of statutory carryforward periods, Verra Mobility's experience with utilizing operating losses and tax credit carryforwards by jurisdiction and tax planning alternatives that may be available.

        On December 22, 2017, significant changes to U.S. tax law went into effect following the passage and signing of H.R.1, "An Act to Provide for Reconciliation Pursuant to Titles II and V of the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2018" (the "Tax Act"). The Tax Act permanently reduces the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from a maximum 35% to 21%, eliminates corporate Alternative Minimum Tax, modified rules for expensing capital investment, limits the deduction of interest expense for certain companies and has international tax consequences for companies that operate internationally. Most of the changes introduced in the Tax Act are effective beginning on January 1, 2018.

Revenue Recognition

        Government Solutions.    Service revenue is recognized as services are performed or as citations are issued or paid. Service contracts typically include the operation and maintenance of fixed and/or mobile traffic enforcement systems, as well as one or more of processing services, including violation notices, payment processing services, affidavit/liability transfer and new address services, inbound and outbound call support, skip tracing, department of motor vehicle hold services and/or collection services. Pricing for services are agreed to by the customer in the service contract and can be fixed per camera, variable based on citation volume or a combination of both. Fixed fee revenue is recognized when the camera is operational. Variable fee revenue is recognized at the time the service is performed.

294


Table of Contents

        Product sales, which include the sale of camera systems and installations, are recognized when the equipment is either accepted or installed, depending on the type of product.

        For contracts including both service revenue and product sales, an allocation of revenue between the elements is based on each deliverable's best estimated selling price and elements are recognized once the product or service has been delivered.

        Certain contracts allow the customer to defer payment on fixed fee contracts until the funds received by the customer from the program equal or exceed Verra Mobility's fees. Revenue is recognized based on the lesser of the funds received by the customer and the fixed fee.

        Commercial Services.    Service revenues are recognized as services are performed. Tolling services provide nonstop toll processing for RACs' and FMCs' customers who drive rental car vehicles or fleet vehicles, respectively. For RACs, once Verra Mobility receives toll usage information and identifies the driver, the driver is charged for both the toll and a processing fee in accordance with their rental contract with the RAC, and a portion of the processing fee is remitted to the RAC. For FMCs, Verra Mobility aggregates all tolls and charges FMCs the aggregate toll amounts and a processing fee in accordance with Verra Mobility's contract with the FMC. All tolls are paid to the tolling authority by Verra Mobility. Toll revenue is recorded net of payment of the related tolls and any amounts payable to RACs.

        Violation services processes driver violations for RACs' and FMCs' customers who drive rental car vehicles or fleet vehicles, respectively. For RACs, when a violation is reported, if possible Verra Mobility transfers the liability for the fine to the driver of the vehicle and charges the driver a processing fee in accordance with their rental contract with the RAC. Where transfers of liability are not possible, Verra Mobility pays the fine and charges the RAC's driver for the fine plus the processing fee. In each case, a portion of the collected processing fees is remitted to the RAC. For FMCs, when a violation is reported, Verra Mobility generally does not transfer the liability for the fine to the driver, and directly bills the amount of the fine and a processing fee directly to the FMC. All violation fines are paid to the issuing authority by Verra Mobility. Violation fine revenue is recorded net of the payment of the violation and net of any amounts paid to RACs.

        Title and registration processing services are offered, primarily, to FMCs and RACs. Verra Mobility pays the title and registration fees to the appropriate motor vehicle authority on behalf of the customer and then charges the customer for the title and registration fees paid, plus a processing fee. Revenue is recognized for the total amount billed to the customer net of the registration cost.

    Business Combinations

        Verra Mobility applies the asset acquisition method to account for business acquisitions. Verra Mobility allocates the fair value of the purchase price consideration to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. The determination and allocation of fair values to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on various assumptions and valuation methodologies requiring considerable management judgment and includes the use of independent valuation specialists to assist Verra Mobility in estimating fair values of acquired tangible and/or intangible assets.

Narrative Disclosure to the Summary Compensation Table

        The following is a brief description of the compensation arrangements we have with each of our NEOs and other compensation.

Base Salaries

        Base salary is a fixed element within a total compensation package intended to attract and retain the talent necessary to successfully manage the business of Verra Mobility and execute its business strategies. Base salaries for Verra Mobility's named executive officers are established based on the scope of their responsibilities, taking into account relevant experience, internal pay equity, tenure, and other factors deemed relevant.

Leadership Bonus Plan

        During 2017, Verra Mobility sponsored the Verra Mobility Leadership Bonus Plan (the "Bonus Plan") for employees who were active, full-time, salaried employees of Verra Mobility and who were classified as members of management. Participants in the Bonus Plan, which included Verra Mobility's

299


Table of Contents

named executive officers, were eligible to receive cash bonus payments based on company performance. For fiscal year 2017, the bonus targets and maximums for the named executive officers were established as a percentage of base salary as follows:

    David Roberts—Target of 100% and Maximum of 200% of Target

    Patricia Chiodo—Target of 50% and Maximum of 200% of Target

    Vincent Brigidi—Target of 50% and Maximum of 200% of Target

        Payment of annual bonuses to the named executive officers was based on achievement of the EBIT performance target for the plan year, which ran from January 1 to December 31. The target for the plan year was determined during the first quarter of the plan year by Verra Mobility's Chief Financial Officer and subsequently approved by its Chief Executive Officer. The bonuses earned by Mr. Roberts and Ms. Chiodo for fiscal year 2017 were based on a consolidated EBIT performance target of $65,951,120. The bonus earned by Mr. Brigidi for fiscal year 2017 was based on a commercial segment EBIT performance target of $31,521,453.

        A participant was entitled to payment under the Bonus Plan only if the actual level of performance for the plan year equaled or exceeded 80% of the EBIT target. If this threshold was met, the actual payment was based on performance against the EBIT target. Bonus payments could be made based on achievement of up to 120% for the EBIT performance metric, in which case the participant could receive up to 200% of his or her target bonus. To receive a bonus payment, a participant must have been employed by Verra Mobility on the date on which Verra Mobility actually paid bonuses under the Bonus Plan. Bonuses were required to be paid within 60 days after Verra Mobility closed its books for the fiscal year.

        Verra Mobility's consolidated EBIT performance for fiscal year 2017 was $68,489,454, which correlated to approximately 104% against the EBIT target. Verra Mobility's commercial segment EBIT performance for fiscal year 2017 was $38,447,997, which correlated to approximately 122% against the EBIT target. Based on this performance, bonus payments to the named executive officers of Verra Mobility for fiscal year 2017 were as follows:

    David Roberts—$460,000

    Patricia Chiodo—$204,269

    Vincent Brigidi—$289,274

Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End

        None of the Verra Mobility named executive officers held any equity awards at the end of fiscal year 2017. The named executive officers did hold cash-based, long-term incentive awards in the form of participation units. Please see the section entitled "Greenlight Holding Corporation 2018 Participation Plan" beginning on page 301 of this proxy statement for a description of these awards.

Stock Appreciation Rights Payments

        Each of Verra Mobility's named executive officers was granted stock appreciation rights in 2016 under the ATS Consolidated, Inc. 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the "SAR Awards").

Greenlight Holding Corporation 2018 Participation Plan

        The named executive officers of Verra Mobility were granted performance units in 2018 under the Greenlight Holding Corporation 2018 Participation Plan (the "Participation Plan"). Such units were granted upon the termination of similar performance units previously granted in 2017.

In connection with the entry into the Merger Agreement, Greenlight Holding Corporation agreed to terminate the Participation Plan effective immediately prior to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Participants in this plan, including the named executive officers of Verra Mobility, have entered into termination agreements pursuant to which they will receive a lump-sum payment after the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement in exchange for a release of claims in favor of Greenlight Holding Corporation and its affiliates. Pursuant to their respective terminations letters, the named executive officers are eligible to receive the following payments upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement: Mr. Roberts—$7,306,909; Ms. Chiodo—$3,584,469; and Mr. Brigidi—$1,709,177.

These awards of restricted stock units are being granted as a material inducement to their entering into employment with the Company and will vest ratably over four years (subject to continued employment). The individual allocation of such grants has not been made as of the filing of this Proxy Statement.

Post-Combination Company Executive Compensation

        The following disclosure concerns the compensation of individuals who will serve as the Company's executive officers and directors following the completion of the Business Combination.

        Subsequent to the closing of the Business Combination, the Board of Directors will establish a Compensation Committee and choose a Compensation Committee member to serve as chair. The following discussion is based on the present expectations as to the executive compensation program to be adopted by the Compensation Committee. The executive compensation program actually adopted will depend on the judgment of the members of the Compensation Committee and may differ from that set forth in the following discussion.

        Decisions regarding executive compensation program will support the following general compensation philosophy:

    The executive compensation program will be competitive with relevant comparison companies in order to attract and retain executive officers and qualified directors to the Company;

    The program will provide a significant portion of executive and director compensation through equity grants to support the creation of long-term value for our shareholders;

    The executive officer compensation program will create a strong pay-for-performance alignment by tying a substantial portion of compensation to performance objectives that support the Company's business plan.

        We anticipate that compensation for our executive officers will have three primary components: base salary, an annual cash incentive bonus, and long-term compensation in the form of equity grants.

Salaries

        It is expected that the Company's executive officer salaries will remain unchanged from their current levels and will be reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The primary purpose of base salaries is to reflect job responsibilities and to provide competitive fixed pay to balance performance-based pay. Any subsequent changes to salaries will reflect external pay benchmarking from appropriate sources of compensation data.

Annual Incentives

        In order to directly tie a portion of each executive officer's compensation to the Company's financial and operational objectives of the applicable fiscal year, it is anticipated that annual cash incentives will be employed in the Company's executive compensation plan. It is expected that the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors will select the performance metrics, applicable performance targets for the metrics, target payout opportunities, and other terms and conditions of the annual cash incentives for the executive officers after the closing of the Business Combination. Following the end of each year, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors will review Company performance against the performance targets to recommend the final amount of the award that is payable to the executive officers.

Equity-Based Awards

        The largest portion of executive officer compensation is intended to be provided in the form of long-term equity, to both encourage retention and align the officers' incentives with the long-term success of the company and the interests of the shareholders.

        Following the consummation of the Business Combination agreement, approximately 3% of the outstanding capital stock of the Company will be granted to certain key employees of the Company, including the executive officers, as an initial one-time grant. This initial grant will be in the form of

309


Table of Contents

restricted stock units that will vest equally over four years, subject to recipients' continued service on each vesting date. This initial one-time grant is made as part of the Business Combination agreement and is not contemplated to be part of the Company's ongoing executive compensation program.

Other Compensation

        The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors expects to continue the Company's current benefit plans, including health insurance, disability insurance, life insurance and 401(k) plans, in which all of the executive officers participate.

Recoupment Policy

        The Compensation Committee will administer the Company's policies in a manner consistent with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which would recover CEO and CFO incentive bonuses or equity awards in the event of a financial restatement that would trigger recoupment under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Additional Executive Compensation Policies and Plans Supporting Strong Corporate Governance

        Subsequent to the Business Combination, the Compensation Committee of the Company will review for implementation policies and plans that support strong corporate governance in accordance with the recommendations provided by its advisors.

Deductibility of Executive Compensation

        Prior to 2018, Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally denied a federal income tax deduction to the Company for compensation in excess of $1 million per year paid to the principal executive officer and the next three most highly compensated officers (other than the principal financial officer), subject to certain exceptions. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, enacted on December 22, 2017, substantially modified Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and, among other things, eliminated the "qualified performance-based compensation" exception to the $1 million deduction limit effective as of January 1, 2018. As a result, beginning in 2018, compensation paid to certain executive officers in excess of $1 million will generally be nondeductible, whether or not it is performance-based. In addition, beginning in 2018, the executive officers subject to Section 162(m) (the "Covered Employees") will include any individual who served as the CEO or Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") at any time during the taxable year and the three other most highly compensated officers (other than the CEO and CFO) for the taxable year, and once an individual becomes a Covered Employee for any taxable year beginning after December 31, 2016, that individual will remain a Covered Employee for all future years, including following any termination of employment. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act includes a transition rule under which the changes to Section 162(m) described above will not apply to compensation payable pursuant to a written binding contract that was in effect on November 2, 2017 and is not materially modified after that date. To the extent applicable to our existing contracts, the Compensation Committee may avail itself of this transition rule. However, because of uncertainties as to the application and interpretation of the transition rule, no assurances can be given at this time that our existing contracts and awards, even if in place on November 2, 2017, will meet the requirements of the transition rule. While the Compensation Committee may consider the deductibility of payments as one factor in determining executive compensation, it will also look at other factors in making its decisions and will retain the flexibility to award compensation that it determines to be consistent with the goals of the executive compensation program and in the interests of the Company's stockholders, even if the payments are not deductible by the Company for tax purposes.

Director Compensation Following this Business Combination

        Following the completion of the Business Combination, the Compensation Committee will determine the annual compensation of outside directors. We anticipate that our director compensation program following the Business Combination will include both equity and cash components, be competitive with relevant comparison companies, and support best practices in director compensation design.

The outstanding shares of our Common Stock are, and the shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with the Business Combination pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the Private Placement will be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. As of the record date for the Special Meeting, there were [    ·    ] shares of Common Stock outstanding, held of record by approximately [    ·    ] holders of Common Stock, no shares of preferred stock outstanding and [    ·    ] warrants outstanding held of record by approximately [    ·    ] holders of warrants. Such numbers do not include DTC participants or beneficial owners holding shares through nominee names.

Common Stock

    Class A Stock

        The Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Class A Stock will have identical rights, powers, preferences and privileges to current Class A Stock.

    Class F Stock

        The Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that each share of Class F Stock outstanding immediately prior to the filing of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation will automatically convert into one share of Class A Stock and, concurrently with such conversion, the number of authorized shares of Class F Stock will be reduced to zero.

Voting Power

        Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any certificate of designation for any series of preferred stock, under the current certificate of incorporation and the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of Common Stock possess or will possess, as applicable, all voting power for the election of our directors and all other matters requiring stockholder action and are entitled or will be entitled, as applicable, to one vote per share on matters to be voted on by stockholders. The holders of Class A Stock shall at all times vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of Common Stock under both the current certificate of incorporation and the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

Dividends

        Subject to the rights, if any of the holders of any outstanding shares of preferred stock, under both the current certificate of incorporation and the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of

311


Table of Contents

Incorporation, holders of Common Stock will be entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our Board in its discretion out of funds legally available therefor and shall share equally on a per share basis in such dividends and distributions.

Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding Up

        In the event of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the post-combination company under both the current certificate of incorporation and the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of Common Stock will be entitled to receive all the remaining assets of the post-combination company available for distribution to stockholders, ratably in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock held by them, after the rights of the holders of the preferred stock have been satisfied.

Preemptive or Other Rights

        Under the current certificate of incorporation, our stockholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to our Common Stock.

Election of Directors

        Our Board is currently divided into three classes, Class I, Class II and Class III, with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual meeting of stockholders) serving a three-year term. The term of office of the Class I directors will expire at our first annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the Class II directors will expire at the second annual meeting of stockholders. The term of office of the Class III directors will expire at the third annual meeting of stockholders. However, if the Business Combination Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal and the Charter Approval Proposal are approved at the Special Meeting, this structure will change.

        Following the completion of the Business Combination, the structure of the Board will change, as discussed in greater detail in "Proposal No. 5—Election of Directors To The Board Of Directors." Under the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, upon the effectiveness thereof, the term of the Class I Directors in place at such time will expire at the first annual meeting of the stockholders of the post-combination company following the effectiveness of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation; the term of the Class II Directors in place at such time will expire at the second annual meeting of the stockholders of the post-combination company following the effectiveness of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation; and the term of the Class III Directors in place at such time will expire at the third annual meeting of the stockholders of the post-combination company following the effectiveness of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

        Under both the current certificate of incorporation and the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, there is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that directions will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders by holders of our Common Stock.

        We are providing stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of Class A Stock upon the consummation of the Business Combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the closing of the Business Combination, including interest not previously released to the Company to fund Regulatory

Table of Contents

Withdrawals and/or to pay its franchise and income taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein. Our Initial Stockholders, directors and officers have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares and any public shares they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. Our Initial Stockholders have also agreed to waive their right to a conversion price adjustment with respect to any shares of our common stock they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination.

        We will consummate the Business Combination only if a majority of our outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote and actually cast thereon at the Special Meeting are voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal at the Special Meeting. However, the participation of our Sponsor, officers and directors, or their affiliates in privately negotiated transactions (as described in this proxy statement), if any, could result in the approval of the Business Combination even if a majority of the stockholders vote, or indicate their intention to vote, against the Business Combination.

        Our Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote their Founder Shares and any public shares purchased during or after our IPO in favor of the Business Combination. As of the date of filing this proxy statement, our Initial Stockholders, directors and officers do not currently hold any public shares. Public stockholders may elect to redeem their public shares whether they vote for or against the Business Combination.

        Pursuant to our current certificate of incorporation, if we are unable to consummate a business combination by January 19, 2019, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem our public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to the Company to fund Regulatory Withdrawals and/or to pay its franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish our public stockholders' rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Our Initial Stockholders, officers and directors have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares (i) in connection with the consummation of a business combination, (ii) if we fail to consummate our initial business combination by January 19, 2019, (iii) in connection with an expired or unwithdrawn tender offer, and (iv) otherwise upon our liquidation or in the event our Board resolves to liquidate the Trust Account and ceases to pursue the consummation of a business combination prior to January 19, 2019. Our Initial Stockholders have also agreed to waive their right to a conversion price adjustment with respect to any shares of our common stock they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. However, if our Initial Stockholders or any of our officers, directors or affiliates acquire public shares, they will be entitled to redemption rights with respect to such public shares if we fail to consummate our initial business combination within the required time period.

        In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company after our initial business combination, holders of our Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in proportion to the number of shares of Class A Stock (on an as converted basis with respect to the Class F Stock) in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of the debts and other liabilities and after provision is made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the Common Stock.

        Our stockholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to our Common Stock, except that upon the consummation of our initial business combination, subject to the limitations described herein, we will provide our stockholders with the

313


Table of Contents

opportunity to redeem their shares of our Class A Stock for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the closing of the Business Combination, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account, less any interest released to us released to fund Regulatory Withdrawals and/or to pay its franchise and income taxes.

Founder Shares

        The Founder Shares are identical to the shares of Class A Stock, and holders of Founder Shares have the same stockholder rights as public stockholders, except that (i) the Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below, and (ii) our Initial Stockholders, directors and officers have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed (A) to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and any shares of Class A Stock they may hold in connection with the completion of our business combination, (B) to waive their right to a conversion price adjustment with respect to any shares of our common stock they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination and (C) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if we fail to complete our business combination by January 19, 2019, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if we fail to complete our business combination within such time period. Our Initial Stockholders, officers and directors have agreed to vote their Founder Shares and any public shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of our Business Combination. The Greenlight Stockholders have each signed separate letters with the Company agreeing to be bound by restrictions on the transfer of their Class A Stock acquired pursuant to the Merger Agreement for 180 days after the completion of the Business Combination.

Preferred Stock

        Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. Our Board is authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional, special and other rights, if any, and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series. Our Board is able, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the Common Stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of our Board to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of us or the removal of existing management. We have no preferred stock outstanding at the date hereof. Although we do not currently intend to issue any shares of preferred stock, we cannot assure you that we will not do so in the future.

Warrants

Public Warrants

        Each warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of our Class A Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing on the later of 12 months from the closing of the IPO or 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination. For example, if a warrant holder holds one warrant, such warrant will be exercisable for one share of the company's Class A Stock. Warrants must be exercised for a whole share. The warrants will expire five years after the completion of our initial business combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

314


Table of Contents

        We are not obligated to deliver any shares of Class A Stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Class A Stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to our satisfying our obligations described below with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, and we will not be obligated to issue any shares to holders seeking to exercise their warrants, unless the issuance of the shares upon such exercise is registered or qualified under the securities laws of the state of the exercising holder, or an exemption is available. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the share of Class A Stock underlying such unit.

        We have agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of our initial business combination, we will use our best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of Class A Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants. We will use our best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if our Class A Stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a "covered security" under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, we may, at our option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so a "cashless basis" in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act (or any successor rule) and, in the event we so elect, we will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but will use our best efforts to register the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

        Once the warrants become exercisable, we may call the warrants for redemption:

    in whole and not in part;

    at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

    upon not less than 30 days' prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and

    if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Class A Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date we send to the notice of redemption to the warrant holder.

        If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

        We have established the last of the redemption criterion discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and we issue a notice of redemption of the warrants, each warrant holder will be entitled to exercise his, her or its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the Class A Stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price as well as the $11.50 warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.

        If we call the warrants for redemption as described above, our management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise his, her or its warrant to do so on a "cashless basis." In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a "cashless basis," our management will consider, among other factors, our cash position, the number of warrants that are

315


Table of Contents

outstanding and the dilutive effect on our stockholders of issuing the maximum number of shares of Class A Stock issuable upon the exercise of our warrants. If our management takes advantage of this option, all holders of warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of Class A Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A Stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the "fair market value" (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The "fair market value" shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Class A Stock for the ten trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. If our management takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of shares of Class A Stock to be received upon exercise of the warrants, including the "fair market value" in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will reduce the number of shares to be issued and thereby lessen the dilutive effect of a warrant redemption. We believe this feature is an attractive option to us if we do not need the cash from the exercise of the warrants after our initial business combination. If we call our warrants for redemption and our management does not take advantage of this option, our Sponsor and its permitted transferees would still be entitled to exercise their Private Placement Warrants for cash or on a cashless basis using the same formula described above that other warrant holders would have been required to use had all warrant holders been required to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis, as described in more detail below.

        A holder of a warrant may notify us in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person's affiliates), to the warrant agent's actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 9.8% (or such other amount as a holder may specify) of the shares of Class A Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

        If the number of outstanding shares of Class A Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Class A Stock, or by a split-up of shares of Class A Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of Class A Stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding shares of Class A Stock. A rights offering to holders of Class A Stock entitling holders to purchase shares of Class A Stock at a price less than the fair market value will be deemed a stock dividend of a number of shares of Class A Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Class A Stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for Class A Stock) multiplied by (ii) one minus the quotient of (x) the price per share of Class A Stock paid in such rights offering divided by (y) the fair market value. For these purposes (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Class A Stock, in determining the price payable for Class A Stock, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) fair market value means the volume weighted average price of Class A Stock as reported during the ten trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the shares of Class A Stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.

        In addition, if we, at any time while the warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of Class A Stock on account of such shares of Class A Stock (or other shares of our capital stock into which the warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described above, (b) certain ordinary cash dividends, (c) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of Class A Stock in connection with a proposed initial business combination, (d) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of Class A Stock in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company's current certificate of incorporation (which requires the affirmative vote of 65% of all then outstanding shares of the Class A Stock) to modify the substance or

Table of Contents

timing of the Company's obligation to redeem 100% of Class A Stock if the Company does not complete a business combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, or (e) in connection with the redemption of our public shares upon our failure to complete our initial business combination, then the warrant exercise price will be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such event, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any securities or other assets paid on each share of Class A Stock in respect of such event. We expect to consummate the Business Combination and do not intend to take any action to extend the life of the Company beyond January 19, 2019.

        If the number of outstanding shares of our Class A Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of Class A Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Class A Stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Class A Stock.

        Whenever the number of shares of Class A Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants is adjusted, as described above, the warrant exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which will be the number of shares of Class A Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of Class A Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

        In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Class A Stock (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of such shares of Class A Stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of us with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which we are the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of our outstanding shares of Class A Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of us as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which we are dissolved, the holders of the warrants will thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the warrants and in lieu of the shares of our Class A Stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the warrants would have received if such holder had exercised their warrants immediately prior to such event. However, if such holders were entitled to exercise a right of election as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other assets receivable upon such consolidation or merger, then the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets for which each warrant will become exercisable will be deemed to be the weighted average of the kind and amount received per share by such holders in such consolidation or merger that affirmatively make such election, and if a tender, exchange or redemption offer has been made to and accepted by such holders (other than a tender, exchange or redemption offer made by the Company in connection with redemption rights held by stockholders of the Company as provided for in the Company's current certificate of incorporation or as a result of the repurchase of shares of Class A Stock by the company if a proposed initial business combination is presented to the stockholders of the company for approval) under circumstances in which, upon completion of such tender or exchange offer, the maker thereof, together with members of any group (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act (or any successor rule)) of which such maker is a part, and together with any affiliate or associate of such maker (within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act (or any successor rule)) and any members of any such group of which any such affiliate or associate is a part, own beneficially (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act (or any successor rule)) more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of Class A Stock, the holder of a warrant will be entitled to receive the highest amount of cash, securities or other property to which such holder would actually have been entitled as a stockholder if such

317


Table of Contents

warrant holder had exercised the warrant prior to the expiration of such tender or exchange offer, accepted such offer and all of the Class A Stock held by such holder had been purchased pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, subject to adjustments (from and after the consummation of such tender or exchange offer) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in the warrant agreement. Additionally, if less than seventy percent (70%) of the consideration receivable by the holders of Class A Stock in such a transaction is payable in the form of Class A Stock in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the registered holder of the warrant properly exercises the warrant within 30 days following public disclosure of such transaction, the warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the warrant agreement based on the per share consideration minus Black-Scholes Warrant Value (as defined in the warrant agreement) of the warrant.

        The warrants have been issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and us. You should review a copy of the warrant agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement pertaining to our IPO, for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the warrants. The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding public warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of public warrants.

        The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price (or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of Class A Stock and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of Class A Stock. After the issuance of shares of Class A Stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

        Warrants may be exercised only for a whole number of shares of Class A Stock. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of Class A Stock to be issued to the warrant holder. As a result, warrant holders not purchasing warrants in multiples of three warrants will not obtain value from the fractional interest that will not be issued.

Private Placement Warrants

        Our Sponsor purchased 6,666,666 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000,000 in a private placement that occurred on the IPO closing date. The Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A Stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) are not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination (except, among other limited exceptions, to our officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with our Sponsor) and they will not be redeemable by us so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. Otherwise, the Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the public warrants. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by us and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the public warrants.

318


Table of Contents

        If holders of the Private Placement Warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering his, her or its warrants for that number of shares of Class A Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A Stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the "fair market value" (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The "fair market value" shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Class A Stock for the ten trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent. The reason that we have agreed that these warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by our Sponsor and permitted transferees is because it is not known at this time whether they will be affiliated with us following a business combination. If they remain affiliated with us, their ability to sell our securities in the open market will be significantly limited. We have policies in place that prohibit insiders from selling our securities except during specific periods of time. Even during such periods of time when insiders are permitted to sell our securities, an insider cannot trade in our securities if he or she is in possession of material non-public information. Accordingly, unlike public stockholders who could exercise their warrants and sell the shares of Class A Stock received upon such exercise freely in the open market in order to recoup the cost of such exercise, the insiders could be significantly restricted from selling such securities. As a result, we believe that allowing the holders to exercise such warrants on a cashless basis is appropriate.

Dividends

        We have not paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock to date and do not intend to pay cash dividends prior to the completion of a business combination. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subsequent to completion of a business combination. The payment of any cash dividends subsequent to a business combination will be within the discretion of our Board at such time. In addition, our Board is not currently contemplating and does not anticipate declaring any stock dividends in the foreseeable future. Further, if we incur any indebtedness, our ability to declare dividends may be limited by restrictive covenants we may agree to in connection therewith.

Transfer Agent and Warrant Agent

        The Transfer Agent for our Common Stock and warrant agent for our warrants is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. We have agreed to indemnify Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company in its roles as transfer agent and warrant agent, its agents and each of its stockholders, directors, officers and employees against all liabilities, including judgments, costs and reasonable counsel fees that may arise out of acts performed or omitted for its activities in that capacity, except for any liability due to any gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the indemnified person or entity.

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

        Provisions of the DGCL and our current certificate of incorporation and bylaws as well as provisions of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation could make it more difficult to acquire the post-combination company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent officers and directors. These provisions, summarized below, are intended to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of the post-combination company to first negotiate with the board of directors. We believe that the benefits of these provisions outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging certain takeover or acquisition proposals because, among other things, negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms and enhance the ability the our board of directors to

319


Table of Contents

maximize stockholder value. However, these provisions may delay, deter or prevent a merger or acquisition of us that a stockholder might consider is in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the prevailing market price of the Common Stock.

        We are currently subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL, which we refer to as "Section 203," regulating corporate takeovers. Assuming the approval of Proposal No. 3 at the Special Meeting, we will no longer be subject to Section 203 upon the effectiveness of Proposal No. 3. Instead, we would "opt out" of Section 203 and, instead, our certificate of incorporation would include a provision that is substantially similar to Section 203, but excludes the investment funds affiliated with The Gores Group and Platinum Equity, each of their successors, certain affiliates and each of their respective transferees (the "Excluded Parties") from the definition of "interested stockholder," and make certain related changes. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Excluded Parties will become "interested stockholders" within the meaning of Section 203, but will not be subject to the restrictions on business combinations set forth in Section 203, as our Board approved the Business Combination in which the Excluded Parties became interested stockholders prior to such time they became interested stockholders. Assuming adoption of Proposal No. 3 at the Special Meeting, the provision set forth in Proposal No. 3 would take effect upon the filing of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State.

        Section 203 prevents certain Delaware corporations, under certain circumstances, from engaging in a "business combination" with:

    a stockholder who owns fifteen percent (15%) or more of our outstanding voting stock (otherwise known as an "interested stockholder");

    an affiliate of an interested stockholder; or

    an associate of an interested stockholder, for three years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder.

        A "business combination" includes a merger or sale of more than ten percent (10%) of our assets. However, the above provisions of Section 203 do not apply if:

    our Board approves the transaction that made the stockholder an "interested stockholder," prior to the date of the transaction;

    after the completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, that stockholder owned at least eighty-five percent (85%) of our voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, other than statutorily excluded shares of common stock; or

    on or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by our Board and authorized at a meeting of our stockholders, and not by written consent, by an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder.

        Assuming the approval of Proposal No. 3, our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation will require the approval by affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Common Stock of the post-combination company to make any amendment to key provisions of the post-combination company certificate of incorporation or bylaws.

        In addition, both our current certificate of incorporation and our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provide for certain other provisions that may have an anti-takeover effect:

    There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors.

320


Table of Contents

    Our Board is empowered to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the Board or the resignation, death, or removal of a director in certain circumstances.

    Directors may only be removed from the Board for cause.

    A prohibition on stockholder action by written consent, which forces stockholder action to be taken at an annual or special meeting of our stockholders.

    A prohibition on stockholders calling a special meeting and the requirement that a meeting of stockholders may only be called by members of our Board, which may delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors.

    Our authorized but unissued Common Stock and preferred stock are available for future issuances without stockholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved Common Stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

Forum Selection Clause

        Subject to certain limitations, our bylaws provide that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner) to bring: (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees or our stockholders; (c) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the our certificate of incorporation or bylaws; or (d) any action asserting a claims governed by the internal affairs doctrine. In addition, our bylaws provide that unless consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the federal securities laws of the United States against us, our officers, directors, employees and/or underwriters.

Rule 144

        Pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act, which we refer to as "Rule 144", a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our Common Stock or warrants for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities, provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (ii) we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale and have filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months (or such shorter period as we were required to file reports) preceding the sale.

        Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of our Common Stock or warrants for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of:

    one percent (1%) of the total number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding; or

    the average weekly reported trading volume of the Common Stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

        Sales by our affiliates under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.

        Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company. However, Rule 144 also includes an important exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met:

    the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;

    the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

    the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and

    at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

        As of the date of this proxy statement, we had 50,000,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Of these shares, 40,000,000 shares sold in our IPO are freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, except for any shares purchased by one of our affiliates within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. All of the 10,000,000 Founder Shares owned by our Initial Stockholders are restricted securities under Rule 144, in that they were issued in private transactions not involving a public offering. If the Business Combination is approved, the shares of our Common Stock we issue to the Private Placement Investors pursuant to the Subscription Agreements and to the management of Greenlight pursuant to the Participation Plan will be restricted securities for purposes of Rule 144.

        As of the date of this proxy statement, there are 20,000,000 warrants of the Company outstanding, consisting of 13,333,333 public warrants originally sold as part of the units issued in the Company's IPO and 6,666,666 Private Placement Warrants that were sold by the Company to our Sponsor in a private sale prior to the Company's IPO. Each warrant is exercisable for one share of our Class A Stock, in accordance with the terms of the warrant agreement governing the warrants. 13,333,333 of these warrants are public warrants and are freely tradable. In addition, we will be obligated to file no later than 15 business days after the closing of the Business Combination a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the 13,333,333 shares of our Class A Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of the public warrants, and cause such registration statement to become effective and maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement until the expiration of the warrants.

        We anticipate that following the consummation of the Business Combination, we will no longer be a shell company, and so, once the conditions set forth in the exceptions listed above are satisfied, Rule 144 will become available for the resale of the above noted restricted securities.

Registration Rights

        At the closing of the Business Combination, the Company will enter into the Registration Rights Agreement, substantially in the form attached as Annex F to this proxy statement, with the Restricted Stockholders. Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, (a) any outstanding share of Class A Stock or any other equity security (including the Private Placement Warrants and including shares of Class A Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of any other equity security) of the Company held by a Restricted Stockholder as of the date of the Registration Rights Agreement or thereafter acquired by a Restricted Stockholder (including the shares of Class A Stock issued upon conversion of the Class F Stock and upon exercise of any Private Placement Warrants) and shares of Class A Stock issued or issuable as Earn-Out Shares to the Greenlight Stockholders and (b) any other

322


Table of Contents

equity security of the Company issued or issuable with respect to any such share of Common Stock by way of a stock dividend or stock split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other reorganization or otherwise will be entitled to registration rights.

        The Registration Rights Agreement provides that the Company will, within 30 days after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, file with the SEC a shelf registration statement registering the resale of the shares of Common Stock held by the Restricted Stockholders and will use its reasonable best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but in no event later than 60 days following the initial filing thereof. The Restricted Gores Stockholders and the Greenlight Stockholders are each entitled to make up to six demands for registration, excluding short form demands, that the Company register shares of Common Stock held by these parties. In addition, the Restricted Stockholders have certain "piggy-back" registration rights. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any registration statements filed pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement. The Company and the Restricted Stockholders agree in the Registration Rights Agreement to provide customary indemnification in connection with an offerings of Common Stock effected pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.

        Our Initial Stockholders entered into a letter agreement pursuant to which they agreed to restrictions on the transfer of their securities issued in the Company's IPO, which (i) in the case of the Class F Stock is 180 days after the completion of the Business Combination, and (ii) in the case of the Private Placement Warrants and the respective Class A Stock underlying the Private Placement Warrants is 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination.

        The Greenlight Stockholders have each signed separate letters with the Company agreeing to be bound by restrictions on the transfer of their Class A Stock acquired pursuant to the Merger Agreement for 180 days after the completion of the Business Combination.

        The foregoing summary of the Registration Rights Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Registration Rights Agreement as set forth in Annex F.

Listing of Securities

        We intend to apply to continue the listing of our Class A Stock and public warrants on Nasdaq under the symbols "VRRM" and "VRRMW," respectively, upon the closing of the Business Combination.

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES

        The following table sets forth information known to the Company regarding (i) the actual beneficial ownership of our Common Stock as of the record date (pre-Business Combination) and (ii) expected beneficial ownership of our Common Stock immediately following consummation of the Business Combination (post-Business Combination), assuming that no public shares of the Company are redeemed, and alternatively the maximum number of shares of the Company are redeemed, by:

    each person who is, or is expected to be, the beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock;

    each of our current officers and directors;

    each person who will become a named officer or director of the post-combination company; and

    all officers and directors of the Company, as a group, and of the post-combination company, as a group.

        Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days. Except as described in the footnotes below and subject to applicable community property laws and similar laws, we believe that each person listed above has sole voting and investment power with respect to such shares.

        The beneficial ownership of our Common Stock pre-Business Combination is based on 40,000,000 shares of Common Stock, except as otherwise indicated in the table below, issued and outstanding as of [    ·    ], 2018.

        The expected beneficial ownership of shares of our Common Stock post-Business Combination, assuming none of our public shares are redeemed, has been determined based upon the following: (i) no Company stockholder has exercised its redemption rights to receive cash from the Trust Account in exchange for their shares of Class A Stock and we have not issued any additional shares of our Class A Stock; (ii) there will be an aggregate of 155,200,000 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding at the closing of the Business Combination; (iii) approximately 43,478,261 shares of Class A Stock have been issued in conjunction with the Private Placement; (iv) approximately 65,200,000 shares of Class A Stock have been issued to Greenlight as part of the Stock Consideration; (v) approximately 3,478,261 Founder Shares have been cancelled by our Sponsor; (vi) approximately 2,302,162 Founder Shares and 3,174,265 Private Placement Warrants have been distributed to members of our Sponsor immediately prior to closing the Business Combination and (vii) all public warrants and Private Placement Warrants have been exercised.

        The expected beneficial ownership of shares of our Common Stock post-Business Combination assuming 20,000,000 public shares have been redeemed has been determined based on the following: (i) Company stockholders (other than the stockholders listed in the table below) have exercised their redemption rights with respect to [    ·    ] shares of our Class A Stock; (ii) there will be an aggregate of 155,200,000 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding at the closing of the Business Combination; (iii) approximately 43,478,261 shares of Class A Stock have been issued in conjunction with the Private Placement; (iv) approximately 65,200,000 shares of Class A Stock have been issued to Greenlight as part of the Stock Consideration; (v) approximately 3,478,261 Founder Shares have been cancelled by our Sponsor; (vi) approximately 2,302,162 Founder Shares and 3,174,265 Private Placement Warrants have been distributed to members of our Sponsor immediately prior to closing the Business Combination and (vii) all public warrants and Private Placement Warrants have been exercised.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

The Company's Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

        On August 19, 2016, our Sponsor purchased 10,781,250 Founder Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.002 per share. Subsequently, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 75,000 Founder Shares to Mr. Randall Bort, Mr. William Patton and Mr. Jeffrey Rea, the Company's independent directors. On February 27, 2017, following the expiration of the unexercised portion of the underwriter's over-allotment option, our Sponsor forfeited 781,250 Founder Shares, so that the Founder Shares held by the Initial Stockholders would represent 20% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock following completion of the IPO.

        Transfer Restrictions—With certain limited exceptions, the Founder Shares will not be transferable, assignable or salable by our Sponsor until the earlier of (i) 180 days after the completion of an initial business combination, and (ii) the date on which we consummate a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization, or other similar transaction after an initial business combination that results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property.

        Rights—The Founders Shares are identical to the shares of Class A Stock included in the public units, except that (i) the Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described above, (ii) our Initial Stockholders, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed (a) to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and public shares owned in connection with the completion of an initial business combination, and (b) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if we fail to complete an initial business combination by January 19, 2019 (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if we fail to complete our Business Combination within such time period) and (iii) the Founder Shares are convertible into shares of Class A Stock at any time at the option of the holder and automatically convert into shares of Class A Stock at the time of the Business Combination, as described in the Company's current certificate of incorporation.

        Voting—If the Company seeks stockholder approval of a business combination, our Initial Stockholders have agreed to vote their Founder Shares and any public shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of the business combination.

        Redemption—Our Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and any public shares they may own in connection with the consummation of our Business Combination. Additionally, our Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares if we fail to consummate our Business Combination by January 19, 2019, although they will be entitled to redemption rights upon liquidation with respect to any public shares they may own.

        Cancellation—In order to facilitate the Business Combination, our Sponsor has agreed to the cancellation of approximately 3,478,261 of the Founder Shares held by it and to the acquisition of shares of Class A Stock by the participants in the Private Placement (pursuant to subscription agreements entered into in connection therewith) at a discount. The remaining Founder Shares will automatically convert into shares of Class A Stock on a one-for-one basis at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and will continue to be subject to the transfer restrictions applicable to the Founder Shares.

Private Placement Warrants

        Our Sponsor purchased from the Company an aggregate of 6,666,666 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant (a purchase price of $10,000,000) in a private placement that occurred on the IPO closing date. Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A Stock at $11.50 per share. A portion of the purchase price of the Private Placement Warrants was added to the proceeds from the IPO to be held in the Trust Account pending completion of an initial business combination.

        The Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the warrants sold as part of the public units in the IPO, except that the Private Placement Warrants may be physical (cash) or net share (cashless) settled and are not redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. If any Private Placement Warrants are transferred to holders other than our Sponsor or its permitted transferees, such Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the public units sold in the IPO. With certain limited exceptions, the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A Stock underlying such Private Placement Warrants, will not be transferable, assignable or salable by our Sponsor until 30 days after the completion of an initial business combination.

        If the Company does not complete a business combination by January 19, 2019, then the Private Placement Warrants proceeds will be part of the liquidation distribution to the public stockholders and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

Subscription Agreements

        The Company entered into joinders to the Subscription Agreement with our Sponsor and certain members of our Sponsor including employees and affiliates of our Sponsor, pursuant to which they agreed to purchase up to 4,203,795 shares of Class A Stock for an aggregate commitment amount of approximately $38,674,914, subject to certain conditions, including the closing of the Business Combination.

        The shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to these joinders have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

        These joinders will be terminated, and be of no further force and effect, upon the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, (ii) the mutual written agreement of the parties thereto or (iii) if any of the conditions to the closing are not satisfied on or prior to the closing and which make the consummation of the Business Combination fail to occur. Our Sponsor has waived any interest in, and any claim it may have against, any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of these joinders. The Company will pay to the placement agents for the Company, in the aggregate, a fee of 2% gross proceeds of the sale of 7,309,785 shares of Class A Stock. No fees or other compensation was paid or will be payable to our Sponsor in connection with these joinders.

Registration Rights

        The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants issued upon conversion of working capital loans, if any, have registration rights (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion of such shares to Class A Stock) pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into by the Company, the Sponsor and the other security holders named therein on January 12, 2017. These holders will also have certain demand and "piggy back" registration rights. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

        At the closing of the Business Combination, the Company will enter into the Registration Rights Agreement, substantially in the form attached as Annex F to this proxy statement, with the Restricted

328


Table of Contents

Stockholders, which will replace the existing registration rights agreement. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Restricted Stockholders and their permitted transferees will be entitled to certain registration rights. These holders will also have certain demand and "piggy back" registration rights. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements, subject to certain exceptions. For more information about the Registration Rights Agreement, please see the section entitled "Proposal No. 1—Approval of the Business Combination."

Related Party Notes

        On August 19, 2016, our Sponsor loaned us an aggregate of $150,000 by the issuance of an unsecured promissory note for $150,000 to cover expenses related to our IPO, and on January 11, 2017, our Sponsor loaned us an additional $150,000 by the issuance of a second unsecured promissory note for $150,000 to cover expenses related to our IPO. These notes were non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of January 31, 2017 or the completion of our IPO. These notes were repaid in full upon the completion of our IPO.

        Our Sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. In addition, we may pay our Sponsor or any of our existing officers or directors, or any entity with which they are affiliated, a finder's fee, consulting fee or other compensation in connection with identifying, investigation and completing a business combination. Our Audit Committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our Sponsor, officers, directors or our or their affiliates and will determine which fees and expenses and the amount of expenses that will be reimbursed. There is no cap or ceiling on the reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such persons in connection with activities on our behalf.

        In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with our Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete a Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that our Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used for such repayment. The terms of such loans by our officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. We do not expect to seek loans from parties other than our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor as we do not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in the Trust Account.

        After our Business Combination, members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting or management fees from the combined company with any and all amounts being fully disclosed to our stockholders, to the extent then known, in these proxy solicitation materials furnished to our stockholders. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of a stockholder meeting held to consider our Business Combination, as it will be up to the directors of the post-combination business to determine executive and director compensation.

HOUSEHOLDING INFORMATION

        Unless we have received contrary instructions, we may send a single copy of this proxy statement to any household at which two or more stockholders reside if we believe the stockholders are members of the same family. This process, known as "householding," reduces the volume of duplicate information received at any one household and helps to reduce our expenses. However, if stockholders prefer to receive multiple sets of our disclosure documents at the same address this year or in future years, the stockholders should follow the instructions described below. Similarly, if an address is shared with another stockholder and together both of the stockholders would like to receive only a single set of our disclosure documents, the stockholders should follow these instructions:

    If the shares are registered in the name of the stockholder, the stockholder should contact us at our offices at Gores Holdings II, Inc., 9800 Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills, California 90212 or by telephone at (310) 209-3010, to inform us of his or her request; or

To be timely, a stockholder's notice must be delivered to us at the principal executive offices of the Company not later than the close of business on the 90th nor earlier than the opening of business on the 120th day before the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within 45 days before or after

such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received no earlier than the opening of business on the 120th day before the meeting and not later than the later of (x) the close of business on the 90th day before the meeting or (y) the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was first made by the Company.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED, INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Business Operations

Organization and General

        Gores Holdings II, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware on August 15, 2016. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar Business Combination with one or more businesses (the "Business Combination"). The Company has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any operating revenue to date. The Company's management has broad discretion with respect to the Business Combination. The Company's Sponsor is Gores Sponsor II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Sponsor"). The Company has selected December 31st as its fiscal year-end.

        At June 30, 2018, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from August 15, 2016 (inception) through June 30, 2018 relates to the Company's formation and initial public offering ("Public Offering") described below. The Company completed the Public Offering on January 19, 2017 (the "IPO Closing Date"). The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its Business Combination, at the earliest. Subsequent to the Public Offering, the Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants (as defined below) held in the Trust Account (as defined below).

Proposed Verra Mobility Business Combination

        On June 21, 2018, the Company, AM Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("First Merger Sub"), AM Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Second Merger Sub"), Greenlight Holding II Corporation ("Greenlight") and PE Greenlight Holdings, LLC (the "Platinum Stockholder" or, in its capacity as the Stockholder Representative, the "Stockholder Representative") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger Agreement (as it may be amended from time to time, the "Merger Agreement"), which provides for, among other things, (i) the merger of First Merger Sub with and into Greenlight, with Greenlight continuing as the surviving corporation (the "First Merger") and (ii) immediately following the First Merger and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, the merger of Greenlight with and into Second Merger Sub with Second Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity (the "Second Merger" and, together with the First Merger, the "Mergers" and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the "Proposed Business Combination"). As a result of the First Merger, the Company will own 100% of the outstanding common stock of Greenlight and each share of common stock of Greenlight will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a portion of the consideration. As a result of the Second Merger, the Company will own 100% of the outstanding interests in the Second Merger Sub. Following the closing of the Proposed Business Combination, the Company will own, directly or indirectly, all the stock of Greenlight and its subsidiaries and the stockholders of Greenlight as of immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger (the "Greenlight Stockholders") will hold a portion of the Company's Class A common stock.

The Merger Agreement

        The consideration to be paid to the Greenlight Stockholders will be a combination of cash and stock, as calculated pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and certain other transaction documents contemplated thereby. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the aggregate consideration

FS-7


Table of Contents


GORES HOLDINGS II, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED, INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. Organization and Business Operations (Continued)

payable to the Greenlight Stockholders will consist of (i) an amount in cash equal to the Closing Cash Payment Amount (as defined in the Merger Agreement), and (ii) shares of newly-issued Class A common stock equal to the Closing Number of Securities (as defined in the Merger Agreement). The merger consideration payable to the Greenlight Stockholders is also subject to adjustment based on Greenlight's working capital, cash and indebtedness as of the closing date, among other adjustments contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Based upon assumed net indebtedness of approximately $852 million (after giving effect to the partial repayment of existing indebtedness), the aggregate merger consideration to be paid by the Company is expected to be approximately $2.3 billion.

        In addition to the consideration to be paid at the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement, certain of the Greenlight Stockholders will be entitled to receive additional earn-out payments from the Company of up to an aggregate of 10 million shares of Class A common stock, if the price of Class A common stock trading on the Nasdaq exceeds certain thresholds during the five-year period following the closing of the Mergers.

        Consummation of the Transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement is subject to customary closing conditions as well as specified cash availability conditions. The Merger Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties and may be terminated by the parties thereto as specified therein.

        In order to facilitate the Proposed Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to the cancellation of 3,478,261 of its Founder Shares and the Company has agreed to the purchase of shares of Class A common stock by the participants in the Private Placement (as defined below) (pursuant to the subscription agreements entered into in connection therewith) at a discounted price of $9.20.

Private Placement Subscription Agreements

        On June 21, 2018, the Company entered into subscription agreements with certain investors, including the Sponsor, pursuant to which the investors have agreed to purchase in the aggregate 43,478,261 shares of Class A common stock in a private placement for $9.20 per share (the "Private Placement"). The anticipated gross proceeds from the Private Placement of approximately $400,000,000 will be used to partially fund the cash consideration to be paid to the Greenlight Stockholders. The Private Placement is conditioned on, among other things, the closing of the Proposed Business Combination.

Tax Receivable Agreement

        At the closing of the Proposed Business Combination, the Company will enter into a Tax Receivable Agreement with the the Platinum Stockholder and the Stockholder Representative. The Tax Receivable Agreement will generally provide for the payment by the Company to the Platinum Stockholder of 50% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that the Company actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after the closing of the Proposed Business Combination, as a result of the increase in tax basis of the intangible assets of Highway Toll Administration LLC ("HTA") resulting from the acquisition of HTA by Verra Mobility Corporation prior to the Proposed Business Combination. The Company generally will retain benefit of the remaining 50% of these cash savings.

Financing

        Upon the IPO Closing Date and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, an aggregate of $400,000,000 was placed in a Trust Account with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee (the "Trust Account").

Trust Account

        Funds held in the Trust Account can be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of one hundred and eighty (180) days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that invest only in direct U.S. government obligations. As of June 30, 2018, the Trust Account consisted of cash and treasury bills compliant with Rule 2a-7.

        The Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, other than the withdrawal of interest to pay income taxes, if any, none of the funds held in trust will be released until the earliest of: (i) the completion of the Business Combination; or (ii) the redemption of any public shares of common stock properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation (which requires the affirmative vote of 65% of all then outstanding shares of the Class A Stock) to modify the substance or timing of the Company's obligation to redeem 100% of such public shares of common stock if the Company does not complete the Business Combination within 24 months from the IPO Closing Date; or (iii) the redemption of 100% of the public shares of common stock if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the IPO Closing Date, subject to the requirements of law and stock exchange rules. The Company expects to consummate the Business Combination and do not intend to take any action to extend the life of the Company beyond January 19, 2019. However, no assurance can be provided that the Business Combination will be completed by this date.

Business Combination

        The Company's management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination. The Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (less any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest income earned) at the time of the Company signing a definitive agreement in connection with the Business Combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination, including the Proposed Business Combination.

        The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for a Business Combination, is required to either (i) seek stockholder approval of the Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which stockholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest income but less taxes payable, or (ii) provide stockholders with the opportunity to sell their shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a stockholder vote) for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED, INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. Organization and Business Operations (Continued)

amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest income but less taxes payable. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of the Business Combination or will allow stockholders to sell their shares in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek stockholder approval, unless a vote is required by law or under NASDAQ rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval, it will complete its Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. Currently, the Company will not redeem its public shares of common stock in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its public shares of common stock and the related Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate Business Combination. For business and other reasons, the Company has elected to provide its stockholders with the opportunity to have their public shares redeemed in connection with a stockholder vote to approve the Proposed Business Combination rather than a tender offer.

        As a result of the foregoing redemption provisions, the public shares of common stock will be recorded at the redemption amount and classified as temporary equity, in accordance with ASC 480, "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity" ("ASC 480") in subsequent periods.

        The Company will have 24 months from the IPO Closing Date to complete its Business Combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within this period of time, it shall (i) cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares of common stock for a per share pro rata portion of the Trust Account, including interest income, but less taxes payable (less up to $100,000 of such net interest income to pay dissolution expenses) and (iii) as promptly as possible following such redemption, dissolve and liquidate the balance of the Company's net assets to its remaining stockholders, as part of its plan of dissolution and liquidation. The Sponsor and the Company's officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they waived their rights to participate in any redemption with respect to their Founder Shares (as defined below); however, if the Sponsor or any of the Company's officers, directors or affiliates acquire public shares of common stock, they will be entitled to a pro rata share of the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the required time period.

        In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per Unit in the Public Offering.

Emerging Growth Company

        Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The

Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

        The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position as of June 30, 2018 and the results of operations and cash flows for the period presented. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the full year or any other period. The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 14, 2018.

Net Income/(Loss) Per Common Share

        The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A common stock and Class F common stocks. Net income/(loss) per common share is computed utilizing the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share separately for each class of common stock based on an allocation of undistributed earnings per the rights of each class. At June 30, 2018, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company under the treasury stock method. As a result, diluted net income/(loss) per common share is the same as basic net income/(loss) per common share for the period. The table below presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net income/(loss) per share for each class of common stock:

 
  For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2018   For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2018

Concentration of Credit Risk

        Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution and the Trust Account, which at times, may exceed the

FS-11

GORES HOLDINGS II, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED, INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Financial Instruments

        The fair value of the Company's assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet.

Offering Costs

        The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) Topic 5A—"Expenses of Offering." Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the IPO Closing Date that were related to the Public Offering, totaling approximately $22,719,995, (including $22,000,000 in underwriter's fees), were charged to stockholders' equity upon completion of our Public Offering.

Redeemable Common Stock

        As discussed in Note 3, all of the 40,000,000 shares of class A common stock sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company's liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company's charter. In accordance with ASC 480, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity's equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of ASC 480. Although the Company did not specify a maximum redemption threshold, its charter provides that currently, the Company will not redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets (stockholders' equity) to be less than $5,000,001.

        The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid in capital.

        Accordingly, at June 30, 2018, 38,294,216 of the 40,000,000 public shares are classified outside of permanent equity at their redemption value.

Use of Estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

FS-12

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED, INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Income Taxes

        The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, "Income Taxes." Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

        The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes by recognizing the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more than likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company measures the tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The application of income tax law is inherently complex. Laws and regulations in this area are voluminous and are often ambiguous. As such, the Company is required to make many subjective assumptions and judgments regarding income tax exposures. Interpretations of and guidance surrounding income tax law and regulations change over time and may result in changes to the Company's subjective assumptions and judgments, which can materially affect amounts recognized in the balance sheets and statements of income and comprehensive income. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax liabilities as income tax expense. The Company incurred $18,494 for the payment of interest and penalties through June 30, 2018.

        The Company may be subject to potential examination by U.S. federal, states or foreign jurisdiction authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income amounts in various tax jurisdictions and compliance with U.S. federal, states or foreign tax laws.

        The Company is incorporated in the State of Delaware and is required to pay franchise taxes to the State of Delaware on an annual basis.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of six months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company continually monitors its positions with and the credit quality of the financial institutions with which it invests. As of the balance sheet date, and periodically throughout the year, the Company has maintained balances in various operating accounts in excess of federally insured limits.

Investments and Cash Held in Trust Account

        At June 30, 2018, the Company had $404,611,945 in the Trust Account which may be utilized for Business Combinations. At June 30, 2018, the Trust Account consisted of both cash and treasury bills.

        The Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, other than the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes, if any, none of the funds held in trust will be released until the

earlier of: (i) the completion of the Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any public shares of common stock properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation (which requires the affirmative vote of 65% of all then outstanding shares of the Class A Stock) to modify the substance or timing of the Company's obligation to redeem 100% of such public shares of common stock if the Company does not complete the Business Combination within 24 months from the IPO Closing Date; or (iii) the redemption of 100% of the public shares of common stock if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the IPO Closing Date, subject to the requirements of law and stock exchange rules. The Company expects to consummate the Business Combination and do not intend to take any action to extend the life of the Company beyond January 19, 2019. However, no assurance can be provided that the Business Combination will be completed by this date.

Going Concern Consideration

        If the Company does not complete its Business Combination by January 19, 2019, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the common stock sold as part of the units in the Public Offering, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of franchise and income taxes payable and less up to $100,000 of such net interest which may be distributed to the Company to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders' rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company's remaining stockholders and the Company's Board of Directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company's obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

        In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per unit in the Public Offering. In addition if the Company fails to complete its Business Combination by January 19, 2019, there will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the warrants, which will expire worthless.

        In addition, at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had current liabilities of $3,097,932 and $198,119, respectively, largely due to amounts owed to professionals, consultants, advisors and others who are working on seeking a Business Combination as described in Note 1. Such work is continuing after June 30, 2018 and amounts are continuing to accrue. On June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had working capital of ($2,665,297) and $763,663, respectively. Additionally, interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account may be released to the Company to fund its Regulatory Withdrawals (subject to an annual limit of $750,000, for a maximum of 24 months) and/or to pay its franchise and income taxes.

3. Public Offering

Public Units

        On January 19, 2017, the Company sold 40,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit (the "Units"), including 2,500,000 Units as a result of the underwriter's partial exercise of its over-allotment option, generating gross proceeds of $400,000,000. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company's Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value, and one-third of one redeemable Class A common stock purchase warrant (the "Warrants"). Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock for $11.50 per share. Each Warrant will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination or 12 months from the IPO Closing Date and will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. However, if the Company does not complete the Business Combination on or prior to the 24-month period allotted to complete the Business Combination, the Warrants will expire at the end of such period. The Warrants were issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and the Company. The Company did not register the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or any state securities law. Under the terms of the warrant agreement, the Company has agreed to use its best efforts to file a registration statement under the Securities Act following the completion of the Business Combination covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The Company paid an upfront underwriting discount of 2.00% ($8,000,000) of the per Unit offering price to the underwriter at the IPO Closing Date, with an additional fee (the "Deferred Discount") of 3.50% of the per Unit offering price payable upon the Company's completion of a Business Combination. The Deferred Discount will become payable to the underwriter from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company completes a Business Combination.

4. Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

        On August 19, 2016, the Sponsor purchased 10,781,250 shares of the Company's Class F common stock (the "Founder Shares") for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.002 per share. Subsequently, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 75,000 Founder Shares to the Company's independent directors (together with the Sponsor, the "Initial Stockholders"). On February 27, 2017, the Sponsor forfeited 781,250 Founder Shares following the expiration of the unexercised portion of underwriter's over-allotment option, so that the Founder Shares held by the Initial Stockholders would represent 20.0% of the outstanding shares of common stock following completion of the Public Offering. The Founder Shares are identical to the common stock included in the Units sold in the Public Offering except that the Founder Shares will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of the Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as described in the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

Private Placement Warrants

        The Sponsor purchased from the Company an aggregate of 6,666,666 warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant (a purchase price of $10,000,000) in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the Public Offering (the "Private Placement Warrants"). Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. A portion of the purchase

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED, INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

4. Related Party Transactions (Continued)

price of the Private Placement Warrants was added to the proceeds from the Public Offering to be held in the Trust Account pending completion of the Business Combination.

        The Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the Warrants sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants may be physical (cash) or net share (cashless) settled and are not redeemable so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

        If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, then the Private Placement Warrants proceeds will be part of the liquidation distribution to the public stockholders and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

Registration Rights

        The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and warrants issued upon conversion of working capital loans, if any, have registration rights (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion of such shares to common shares) pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into by the Company, the Sponsor and the other security holders named therein on January 12, 2017. These holders will also have certain demand and "piggy back" registration rights. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Sponsor Loan

        On August 19, 2016, the Sponsor loaned the Company an aggregate of $150,000 by the issuance of an unsecured promissory note for $150,000 to cover expenses related to the Public Offering, and on January 11, 2017, the Sponsor loaned the Company an additional $150,000 by the issuance of a second unsecured promissory note for $150,000 to cover expenses related to the Public Offering (collectively, the "Notes"). These Notes were non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of January 31, 2017 or the completion of the Public Offering. These Notes were repaid in full upon the completion of the Public Offering.

Administrative Services Agreement

        The Company entered into an administrative services agreement on January 12, 2017, pursuant to which it agreed to pay to an affiliate of the Sponsor $20,000 a month for office space, utilities and secretarial support. Services commenced on the date the securities were first listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market and will terminate upon the earlier of the consummation by the Company of a Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company.

        For the period commencing January 12, 2017 through June 30, 2018 the Company has paid the affiliate $352,258.

5. Deferred Underwriting Compensation

        The Company is committed to pay a deferred underwriting discount totaling $14,000,000 or 3.50% of the gross offering proceeds of the Public Offering, to the underwriter upon the Company's consummation of a Business Combination. The underwriter is not entitled to any interest accrued on the Deferred Discount, and no Deferred Discount is payable to the underwriter if there is no Business Combination.

6. Income Taxes

        Income tax expense during interim periods is based on applying an estimated annual effective income tax rate to year-to-date income, plus any significant unusual or infrequently occurring items which are recorded in the interim period. The Company's effective tax rate is estimated at 24.66%. The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2018 differs from the amount that would be provided by applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% to pre-tax income primarily because of state income taxes.

        The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in various jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is obtained, additional information becomes known or as the tax environment changes.

        The Company has evaluated tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the financial statements to determine if the tax positions are "more likely than not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the "more likely than not" threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Company has concluded that there was no impact related to uncertain tax positions on the results of its operations for the period ended June 30, 2018. At June 30, 2018, the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company's conclusions regarding tax positions will be subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, ongoing analyses of tax laws, regulations, and interpretations thereof.

7. Investments and cash held in Trust

        At June 30, 2018, investment securities in the Company's Trust Account consist of $404,609,948 in United States Treasury Bills and $1,997 in cash. The Company classifies its United States Treasury and equivalent securities as held-to-maturity in accordance with FASB ASC 320, "Investments—Debt and Equity Securities." Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. Held-to-maturity treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost on the accompanying balance sheet and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.

8. Fair Value Measurement

        The Company complies with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. ASC 820 determines fair value to be the price that would be received to sell an asset or would be paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

        The following table presents information about the Company's assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2018, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation

techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Business Operations

Organization and General

        Gores Holdings II, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware on August 15, 2016. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, Capital Stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar Business Combination with one or more businesses (the "Business Combination"). The Company has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue to date. The Company's management has broad discretion with respect to the Business Combination. The Company's Sponsor is Gores Sponsor II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Sponsor"). The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year-end.

        As of December 31, 2017, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the year ended December 31, 2017 relates to the Company's formation and initial public offering ("Public Offering") described below and efforts directed toward locating a suitable Business Combination. The Company completed the Public Offering on January 19, 2017 (the "IPO Closing Date"). The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its Business Combination, at the earliest. Subsequent to the Public Offering, the Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants (as defined below) held in the Trust Account (as defined below).

Financing

        Upon the IPO Closing Date closing of the Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, an aggregate of $400,000,000 was placed in a Trust Account with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the "Trust Account") acting as trustee.

Trust Account

        Funds held in the Trust Account can be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of one hundred and eighty (180) days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a 7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that invest only in direct U.S. government obligations. As of December 31, 2017, the Trust Account consisted of cash and treasury bills compliant with Rule 2a 7.

        The Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, other than the withdrawal of interest to pay income taxes, if any, none of the funds held in trust will be released until the earliest of: (i) the completion of the Business Combination; or (ii) the redemption of any public shares of common stock properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation (which requires the affirmative vote of 65% of all then outstanding shares of the Class A Stock) to modify the substance or timing of the Company's obligation to redeem 100% of such public shares of common stock if the Company does not complete the Business Combination within 24 months from the IPO Closing Date; or (iii) the redemption of 100% of the public shares of common stock if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the IPO Closing Date, subject to the requirements of law and stock exchange rules. The Company expects to consummate the Business Combination and do not intend to take any action to extend the life of the Company beyond January 19, 2019. However, no assurance can be provided that the Business Combination will be completed by this date.

GORES HOLDINGS II, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. Organization and Business Operations (Continued)

Business Combination

        The Company's management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a Business Combination. The Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (less any deferred underwriting commissions (the "Deferred Discount") and taxes payable on interest income earned) at the time of the Company signing a definitive agreement in connection with the Business Combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

        The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for a Business Combination, will either (i) seek stockholder approval of the Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which stockholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest income but less taxes payable, or (ii) provide stockholders with the opportunity to sell their shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a stockholder vote) for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest income but less taxes payable. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of the Business Combination or will allow stockholders to sell their shares in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek stockholder approval, unless a vote is required by law or under NASDAQ rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval, it will complete its Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. Currently, the Company will not redeem its public shares of common stock in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its public shares of common stock and the related Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate Business Combination.

        As a result of the foregoing redemption provisions, the public shares of common stock will be recorded at redemption amount and classified as temporary equity, in accordance with ASC 480, "Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity" ("ASC 480") in subsequent periods.

        The Company will have 24 months from the IPO Closing Date to complete its Business Combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within this period of time, it shall (i) cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares of common stock for a per share pro rata portion of the Trust Account, including interest income, but less taxes payable (less up to $100,000 of such net interest income to pay dissolution expenses) and (iii) as promptly as possible following such redemption, dissolve and liquidate the balance of the Company's net assets to its remaining stockholders, as part of its plan of dissolution and liquidation. The Sponsor and the Company's officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they waived their rights to participate in any redemption with respect to their Founder Shares (as defined below); however, if the Sponsor or any of the Company's officers, directors or affiliates acquire

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. Organization and Business Operations (Continued)

public shares of common stock, they will be entitled to a pro rata share of the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the required time period.

        In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per Unit in the Public Offering.

Emerging Growth Company

        Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

        The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Net Income/(Loss) Per Common Share

        The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A common stock (the "Common Stock") and Class F common stock (the "Founder Shares"). Net income/(loss) per common share is computed utilizing the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share separately for each class of common stock based on an allocation of undistributed earnings per the rights of each class. As of December 31, 2017, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common stock and then share in the earnings of the Company under the treasury stock method. As a result, diluted net income/(loss) per common share is the same as basic net income/(loss) per common share for the period. The table below presents a reconciliation of the numerator and

Concentration of Credit Risk

        Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution as well as the Trust Account, which at times, may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Financial Instruments

        The fair value of the Company's assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet.

Offering Costs

        The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) Topic 5A—"Expenses of Offering". Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the Public Offering and were charged to stockholders' equity upon the completion of the Public Offering. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, offering costs totaling approximately $22,719,995 and $414,606 respectively, (including $22,000,000 in underwriter's fees), have been charged to stockholders' equity.

Redeemable Common Stock

        As discussed in Note 3, all of the 40,000,000 shares of Common Stock sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company's liquidation, if there is a stockholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation. In accordance with ASC 480, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require common stock subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity's equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of ASC 480.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Although the Company did not specify a maximum redemption threshold, its amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that currently, the Company will not redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets (stockholders' equity) to be less than $5,000,001.

        The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable common stock are affected by charges against additional paid in capital.

        Accordingly, as of December 31, 2017, 38,368,855 of the 40,000,000 public shares are classified outside of permanent equity at their redemption value.

Use of Estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes

        The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC 740, "Income Taxes." Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

        The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes by recognizing the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more than likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company measures the tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The application of income tax law is inherently complex. Laws and regulations in this area are voluminous and are often ambiguous. As such, the Company is required to make many subjective assumptions and judgments regarding income tax exposures. Interpretations of and guidance surrounding income tax law and regulations change over time and may result in changes to the Company's subjective assumptions and judgments, which can materially affect amounts recognized in the balance sheets and statements of income and comprehensive income. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in other income (expense). No penalties or interest were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

        The Company may be subject to potential examination by U.S. federal, states or foreign jurisdiction authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include

FS-28


Table of Contents

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income amounts in various tax jurisdictions and compliance with U.S. federal, states or foreign tax laws.

        The Company is incorporated in the State of Delaware and is required to pay franchise taxes to the State of Delaware on an annual basis.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company continually monitors its positions with and the credit quality of the financial institutions with which it invests. As of the balance sheet date, and periodically throughout the year, the Company has maintained balances in various operating accounts in excess of federally insured limits.

Investments and Cash Held in Trust Account

        As of December 31, 2017, the Company had $402,735,815 in the Trust Account which may be utilized for Business Combinations. As of December 31, 2017, the Trust Account consisted of both cash and treasury bills.

        The Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, other than the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes, if any, none of the funds held in trust will be released until the earlier of: (i) the completion of the Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any public shares of common stock properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation (which requires the affirmative vote of 65% of all then outstanding shares of the Class A Stock) to modify the substance or timing of the Company's obligation to redeem 100% of such public shares of common stock if the Company does not complete the Business Combination within 24 months from the IPO Closing Date; or (iii) the redemption of 100% of the public shares of common stock if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within 24 months from the IPO Closing Date, subject to the requirements of law and stock exchange rules. The Company expects to consummate the Business Combination and do not intend to take any action to extend the life of the Company beyond January 19, 2019. However, no assurance can be provided that the Business Combination will be completed by this date.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

        In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-17, Income Taxes—Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (Topic 740). The amendments under the new guidance require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The guidance is effective for consolidated financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The amendments in this ASU may be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company has adopted this guidance effective on a retrospective basis, the impact of which was not significant to the financial statements.

Going Concern Consideration

        If the Company does not complete its Business Combination by January 19, 2019, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the common stock sold as part of the units in the Public Offering, at a per- share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of franchise and income taxes payable and less up to $100,000 of such net interest which may be distributed to the Company to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders' rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company's remaining stockholders and the Company's Board of Directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company's obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

        In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per unit (the "Units") in the Public Offering. In addition if the Company fails to complete its Business Combination by January 19, 2019, there will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the warrants, which will expire worthless.

        In addition, as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had current liabilities of $198,119 and $434,186, respectively, and working capital of $763,663 and ($15,959), respectively, largely due to amounts owed to professionals, consultants, advisors and others who are working on seeking a Business Combination as described in Note 1. Such work is continuing after December 31, 2017 and amounts are continuing to accrue.

Reclassifications

        Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2016 financial statement information to conform to the 2017 financial statement presentation.

3. Public Offering

Public Units

        On January 19, 2017, the Company sold 40,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, including 2,500,000 Units as a result of the underwriter's partial exercise of their over-allotment option, generating gross proceeds of $400,000,000. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company's Common Stock, $0.0001 par value, and one one-third of one redeemable Common Stock purchase warrant (the "Warrants"). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock for $11.50 per share. Each Warrant will become exercisable on the later of 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination or 12 months from IPO Closing Date and will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. However, if the Company does not complete the Business Combination on or prior to the 24-month period allotted to complete the Business Combination, the Warrants will expire at the end of such period. The Warrants were issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust

3. Public Offering (Continued)

Company, as warrant agent, and the Company. The Company did not register the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or any state securities law. Under the terms of the warrant agreement, the Company has agreed to use its best efforts to file a registration statement under the Securities Act following the completion of the Business Combination covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The Company paid an upfront underwriting discount of 2.00% ($8,000,000) of the per Unit offering price to the underwriters at IPO Closing Date, with an additional fee (the "Deferred Discount") of 3.50% of the per Unit offering price payable upon the Company's completion of a Business Combination. The Deferred Discount will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event the Company completes its Business Combination.

4. Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

        On August 19, 2016, the Sponsor purchased 10,781,250 Founder Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.002 per share. Subsequently, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 75,000 Founder Shares to the Company's independent directors (together with the Sponsor, the "Initial Stockholders"). On February 27, 2017, the Sponsor forfeited 781,250 Founder Shares following the expiration of the unexercised portion of underwriter's over-allotment option, so that the Founder Shares held by the Initial Stockholders would represent 20.0% of the outstanding shares of common stock following completion of the Public Offering. The Founder Shares are identical to the common stock included in the Units sold in the Public Offering except that the Founder Shares will automatically convert into shares of Common Stock at the time of the Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as described in the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

Private Placement Warrants

        The Sponsor purchased from the Company an aggregate of 6,666,666 warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant (a purchase price of $10,000,000) in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the Public Offering (the "Private Placement Warrants"). Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at $11.50 per share. A portion of the purchase price of the Private Placement Warrants was added to the proceeds from the Public Offering to be held in the Trust Account pending completion of the Business Combination.

        The Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the Warrants sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants may be physical (cash) or net share (cashless) settled and are not redeemable so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

        If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, then the Private Placement Warrants proceeds will be part of the liquidation distribution to the public stockholders and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

4. Related Party Transactions (Continued)

Registration Rights

        The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and Warrants issued upon conversion of working capital loans, if any, have registration rights (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion of such shares to common shares) pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into by the Company, the Sponsor and the other security holders named therein on January 12, 2017. These holders will also have certain demand and "piggy back" registration rights. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

    Sponsor Loan

        On August 19, 2016, the Sponsor loaned the Company an aggregate of $150,000 by the issuance of an unsecured promissory note for $150,000 to cover expenses related to the Public Offering, and on January 11, 2017, the Sponsor loaned the Company an additional $150,000 by the issuance of a second unsecured promissory note for $150,000 to cover expenses related to the Public Offering. These Notes were non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of January 31, 2017 or the completion of the Public Offering. These Notes were repaid in full upon the completion of the Public Offering.

Administrative Services Agreement

        The Company entered into an administrative services agreement on January 12, 2017, pursuant to which it agreed to pay to an affiliate of the Sponsor $20,000 a month for office space, utilities, and secretarial support.

        Services commenced on the date the securities were first listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market and will terminate upon the earlier of the consummation by the Company of a Business Combination or the liquidation of the Company.

5. Deferred Underwriting Compensation

        The Company is committed to pay a deferred underwriting discount totaling $14,000,000 or 3.50% of the gross offering proceeds of the Public Offering, to the underwriter upon the Company's consummation of a Business Combination. The underwriter is not entitled to any interest accrued on the Deferred Discount, and no Deferred Discount is payable to the underwriter if there is no Business Combination.

6. Income Taxes

Effective Tax Rate Reconciliation

        The effective income tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 differs from the expected federal statutory income tax rate of 34% and 35%, respectively. The

        On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "Act") was signed into law making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. The Act contains reform to the corporate tax law including reducing the corporate tax rate to 21%, eliminating the 2-year carryback for net operating losses, and creating an indefinite carryforward period for the net operating losses limited to 80% of taxable income. Due to the Act, the deferred tax balances were calculated using a federal effective tax rate of 21%.

7. Investments and cash held in Trust

        As of December 31, 2017, investment securities in the Company's Trust Account consist of $402,731,591 in United States Treasury Bills and $4,224 in cash. The Company classifies its United States Treasury and equivalent securities as held-to-maturity in accordance with FASB ASC 320, "Investments—Debt and Equity Securities." Held- to-maturity securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. Held- to-maturity treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost on the accompanying balance sheet and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.

8. Fair Value Measurements

        The Company complies with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. ASC 820 determines fair value to be the price that would be received to sell an asset or would be paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

        The following table presents information about the Company's assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2017, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points that are observable such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are

VERRA MOBILITY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

        Verra Mobility Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"), formerly known as ATS Consolidated Inc. is a technology enabled services company offering traffic safety, mobility and compliance solutions for state and local governments, commercial fleets and rental car companies. The Company has customers located throughout the United States, Canada and Europe.

        On May 31, 2017, the Company was acquired by Greenlight Acquisition Corporation ("Acquirer") pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated April 15, 2017 by and among the Company, Greenlight Merger Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Acquirer, ("Merger Sub") and Acquirer whereby the Company merged with and into Merger Sub with the former surviving (the "Merger"). Acquirer is ultimately owned by certain private equity investment vehicles sponsored by Platinum Equity, LLC (such investment vehicles, collectively, "Platinum") (See Note 2).

        Pursuant to the Merger, a new basis of accounting at fair value was established in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 805, Business Combinations. The new stepped-up basis was pushed down by Acquirer to the Company. The consolidated financial statements and footnotes contained herein are presented in distinct periods to indicate the application of two different bases of accounting between the periods presented. The period from January 1, 2017 to May 31, 2017 has been labeled "Predecessor", or "2017 Predecessor Period" and has been prepared using the historical basis of accounting of the Predecessor. The periods from June 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017 and from January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2018 have been labeled "2017 Successor Period" and "2018 Successor Period", respectively. The accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and certain footnotes include a black line division separating the Predecessor Period from the Successor Period. As a result of purchase accounting, the pre-Merger and post-Merger condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows are not comparable.

        We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the accounting policies described in our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted in the accompanying financial statements.

        All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Company's management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation.

        The Company has two main operating divisions: Government Solutions and Commercial Services (see Note 12).

Prior Period Reclassifications

        Certain prior period amounts in the condensed consolidated statements of operations have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. The reclassification resulted in a decrease to selling, general and administrative expenses and an increase to operating expenses of $0.1 million, $0.3 million and $0.7 million for the one month ended June 30, 2017, the two months ended May 31, 2017 and the five months ended May 31, 2017, respectively. The reclassification had no impact on income (loss) from

operations, net (income) loss before income tax (benefit) provision and net income (loss) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Use of Estimates

        The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the fair values assigned to net assets acquired (including identifiable intangibles) in business combinations, the carrying amounts of long-lived assets, goodwill and installation and service parts, the allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, and the fair values of asset retirement obligations, derivative instruments and share-based compensation. Management believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances; however, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Currency Translation

        The financial statements of our foreign entities with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars, with the resulting translation adjustments recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, while income and expense items are translated using the average exchange rates during the period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Adopted

        In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The standard addresses the following specific cash flow issues: (1) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (2) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing, (3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, (4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, (5) proceeds from settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, (6) distributions received from equity method investees, (7) beneficial interests in securitization transitions and (8) separately identifiable cash flows and application of predominance principle. The new standard was effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, which the Company elected to adopt prospectively. Prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted, as the impact was not deemed material. The new standard affected the presentation of cash payments associated with the extinguishment of our debt in the first quarter of 2018 (see Note 7). In accordance with the new standard, cash payments associated with the Company's loss on extinguishment of debt are presented as a cash outflow from financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 in the Company's condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

        In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The guidance in ASU 2017-01 clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of assisting entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as

FS-42


Table of Contents


VERRA MOBILITY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation (Continued)

acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The new standard was effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The Company considered the provisions of this standard in concluding that its purchases of Highway Toll Administration, LLC and Euro Parking Collection plc in the six months ended June 30, 2018 (see Note 2) should be accounted for as an acquisition of a business and not as an acquisition of assets. Any additional impact will depend on the nature of the Company's future acquisition activities.

        In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. The updates in ASU 2017-09 were issued to provide clarity and reduce both (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity when changing the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards. Under the updated guidance, a modification is defined as a change in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award, and an entity should account for the effects of a modification unless certain conditions are met. The new standard was effective for the Company on January 1, 2018 but did not have an impact in the three or six months ended June 30, 2018 as no stock-based awards were subject to a modification.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

        In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment and removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Entities will continue to have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. The same one-step impairment test will be applied to goodwill at all reporting units, even those with zero or negative carrying amounts. The amendments in this ASU are effective for goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The impact of the implementation of this standard is still being determined by the Company.

        In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash, which requires a statement of cash flows to include restricted cash in the change in cash and cash equivalents. ASU 2016-18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The impact of the implementation of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on net cash provided (used in) operating activities.

        In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires companies to present assets held at amortized cost and available for sale debt securities net of the amount expected to be collected. The guidance requires the measurement of expected credit losses to be based on relevant information from past events, including historical experiences, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectability. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Different components of the guidance require modified retrospective or prospective adoption. The impact of the implementation of this standard is still being determined by the Company.

        In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual

FS-43

reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The impact of the implementation of this standard is still being determined by the Company.

        In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 modifies how entities measure equity investments and present changes in the fair value of financial liabilities. Under the new guidance, entities will have to measure equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income unless the investments qualify for the new practicality exception. A practicality exception will apply to those equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value and do not qualify for the practical expedient to estimate fair value under ASU 820, Fair Value Measurements, and as such, these investments may be measured at cost. ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The impact of the implementation of this standard is still being determined by the Company.

        In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606 and issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance in August 2015, March 2016, April 2016, May 2016 and December 2016 within ASU 2015-14, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12 and ASU 2016-20, respectively (ASU 2014-09, ASU 2015-14, ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, ASU 2016-12 and ASU 2016-20, respectively, and collectively Topic 606). Topic 606 supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The core principle of this standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core principle, the standard provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include the capitalization and amortization of certain contract costs, ensuring the time value of money is considered in the transaction price, and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. This guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity's contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB amended this accounting standard and postponed the implementation date to fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016 is permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. This accounting standard will be applicable to the Company at the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal year 2019. The Company has established an implementation team and engaged external advisers to assess the Company's business and contracts. The Company is in the process of determining the transition method and evaluating the impact of several aspects of the standard including principal versus agent considerations, identification of performance obligations and the determination of when control of goods and services transfers to the Company's customers.

2. Business Combinations

Verra Mobility Merger

        In connection with the Merger, the consideration paid by Acquirer was allocated to the fair values of the net assets acquired. The excess of the cost of the Merger over the amounts assigned to the fair values of the net assets was recorded as goodwill. The new stepped-up basis was pushed down by

        The identifiable intangible assets consist of $24.8 million attributable to trademarks, $13.6 million to non-compete agreements, $99.6 million to customer relationships, and $84.5 million to developed technology. The non-compete values were based on the with-or-without method. The customer relationship value was based on an excess earnings methodology utilizing projected cash flows. The trademark and the developed technology values were based on the relief from royalty method. The customer relationship, developed technology, non-competition and trademark intangibles were assigned useful lives of 8.5 years, 5.5 years, 5 years and 10 years, respectively. The Company subsequently adjusted the useful life of the trademark from 10 years to 3.8 years (see Note 4).

        The goodwill arising from the Merger was assigned to the Company's Government Solutions and Commercial Services segments in the amounts of $159.7 million and $134.7 million, respectively. The goodwill consists largely of the expected cash flows and future growth anticipated for the Company. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

HTA Merger

        On March 1, 2018, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Highway Toll Administration, LLC, and Canada Highway Toll Administration, collectively, "HTA", pursuant to a unit purchase agreement ("Unit Agreement") for a cash purchase price of $525.0 million subject to adjustments set forth in the Unit Agreement which aggregated $9.7 million, an estimated $12.1 million payment to the HTA sellers for certain tax items and the issuance of 5.26 shares of Greenlight Holdings II Corporation ("Greenlight II" or "Parent") common stock resulting in an aggregate purchase price of $604.1 million (the "HTA Merger"). Greenlight II through a series of entities owns 100% of the Company's common stock. The Greenlight II shares issued to the Company were determined to have a fair value of $57.3 million. The Company reflected the receipt of the

Greenlight II common shares as a capital contribution from Parent and then delivered these shares to the HTA sellers as non-cash purchase consideration.

        The Company estimated the fair value of the Greenlight Holdings II Corporation common shares issued in connection with this transaction with input from management and a contemporaneous third-party valuation of the Company. Management determined the fair value of Green Holdings II Corporation was the same as the Company as Greenlight Holdings II Corporation's only holdings were the Company. The valuation advisory firm prepared a valuation report as of March 1, 2018. The assumptions and inputs used in connection with the valuation reflected management's best estimate of the Company's business condition, prospects and operating performance on the valuation date. The Company averaged the results of a discounted cash flow analysis, comparable public company analysis and comparable acquisitions analysis to determine an enterprise value of $2.1 billion. The Company then deducted debt of $1.0 billion to arrive at a concluded equity value of $1.1 billion, which was used to derive a per share value.

        The excess of cost of the HTA Merger over the net amounts assigned to the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and was assigned to the Company's Commercial Services segment. The goodwill consists largely of the expected cash flows and future growth anticipated for the Company. Most of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The customer relationship value was based on an excess earnings methodology utilizing projected cash flows. The non-competition agreement values were based on the with-or-without method. The trademark and the developed technology values were based on a relief from royalty method. The customer relationship, developed technology, non-competition and trademark intangibles were assigned useful lives of 9 years, 5.5 years, 5 years and 3 years, respectively.

4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets (Continued)

        In June 2018, the Company reviewed its estimates of the future economic life of the trademark intangible assets recorded in connection with the Merger due to the Company's recent name change and rebranding efforts (see Note 1). As a result of this review, the Company revised the useful life assigned to the Merger trademarks to reflect their remaining economic value, reducing the useful life from 10 years to 3.8 years. This revision was determined to be a change in accounting estimate and is being accounted for prospectively. The Company recorded approximately $0.7 million of additional amortization expense in June 2018 as a result of the change in useful life.

        Estimated amortization expense for the remainder of 2018 and in future years is expected to be:

        In connection with the HTA Merger, the Company entered into a First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement (the "New First Lien Term Loan"), a Second Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement (the "New Second Lien Term Loan"), (collectively the "New Term Loans") and a Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (the "New Revolver") with a syndicate of lenders (collectively, the "2018 Credit Facilities"). The 2018 Credit Facilities provide for committed senior secured financing of $1.115 billion, consisting of the New Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount of $1.04 billion and the New Revolver available for loans and letters of credit with an aggregate revolving commitment of up to $75 million (based on borrowing based eligibility as described below).

        Aggregate principal amounts due on the New First Lien and New Second Lien Term Loans are $840 million and $200 million, respectively. The 2018 Credit Facilities replace the preexisting First and Second Lien Term Loans (the "Old Term Loans), which were repaid concurrent with the closing on the 2018 Credit Facilities and also replaces the preexisting Revolver (the "Old Revolver"), which was undrawn at close. The outstanding balances at the date of close on the Old First and Second Lien Term Loans, which were repaid with proceeds from the 2018 Credit Facilities, were $323.4 million and $125 million, respectively.

        The New First Lien Term Loan is repayable in quarterly installments of 1.0% per annum of the amount initially borrowed. The New First Lien and New Second Lien Term Loans mature on February 28, 2025 and February 28, 2026, respectively. The New First Lien Term Loan bears interest based, at the Company's option, on either (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.75% per annum, or (2) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 2.75% per annum. The New Second Lien Term Loan bears interest based, at the Company's option, on either (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 7.75% per annum or (2) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 6.75% per annum. At June 30, 2018, the interest rates on the New First Lien and New Second Lien Term Loans were 5.8% and 9.8%, respectively.

        The New Second Lien Term Loan may be redeemed by the Company at any time, in whole or in part, at the redemption price plus accrued interest up to the redemption date. The redemption price on the New Second Lien Term Loan is equal to 102% of the aggregate principal amount for redemptions occurring through March 1, 2019, 101% of the aggregate principal amount for redemptions occurring after March 1, 2019 through March 1, 2020 and 100% of the aggregate principal amount for

redemptions occurring after March 1, 2020. In addition, the New First and Second Lien Term Loans contain provisions that require mandatory prepayments equal to 50% of excess cash flow (as defined by the New Term Loan agreements); provided that, (a) for the new First Lien Term Loan, at any time the consolidated first lien net leverage ratio (as defined by the New Term Loan agreements) on the last day of the fiscal year is less than or equal to 3.70:1.00 but greater than 3.20:1.00, the mandatory prepayment of the New First Lien Term Loan is equal to 25% of excess cash flow, and if less than 3.20:1.00, the mandatory prepayment on the New First Lien Term Loan is 0%; and (b) for the New Second Lien Term Loan, at any time the consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio (as defined by the Term Loan agreements) on the last day of the fiscal year is less than or equal to 4.70:1.00 but greater than 4.20:1.00 the mandatory prepayment is equal to 25% of excess cash flow and if less than 4.20:1.00 the mandatory prepayment is zero.

        The New Revolver matures on February 28, 2023. Borrowing eligibility under the New Revolver is subject to a monthly borrowing base calculation based on (i) certain percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory, less (ii) certain reserve items, including outstanding letters of credit and other reserves. The Revolver bears interest on either (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin, or (2) an alternate base rate, plus an applicable margin. The margin percentage applied to (1) LIBOR is either 1.25%, 1.50%, or 1.75%, or (2) the base rate is either 0.25%, 0.50%, or 0.75%, depending on the Company's average available availability to borrow under the commitment. At June 30, 2018, the Company had no outstanding borrowings on the New Revolver and availability to borrow under the New Revolver was $52.0 million, net of $1.0 million of outstanding letters of credit.

        Interest on the unused portion of the Revolver is payable quarterly at 0.375% at June 30, 2018. The Company also is required to pay participation and fronting fees on $1.0 million in outstanding letters of credit at 1.63% as of June 30, 2018.

        All borrowings and other extensions of credits under the 2018 Credit Facilities are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions and restrictive covenants including absence of defaults and accuracy in material respects of representations and warranties. At June 30, 2018, the Company was compliant with the 2018 Credit Facilities covenants. Substantially all of the Company's assets are pledged as collateral to secure the Company's indebtedness under the 2018 Credit Facilities.

        The Company recognized a charge of $10.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018 consisting of a $3.8 million prepayment penalty on the Old Term Loan balances, a $2.0 million write-off of preexisting deferred financing costs and $4.4 million of lender and third-party costs associated with the issuance of the 2018 Credit Facilities.

        The Company recorded interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing costs and discounts, of $19.6 million, $32.2 million, $2.9 million, $0.3 million and $0.9 million, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the month ended June 30, 2017 and the two and five months ended May 31, 2017, respectively.

8. Fair Value Measurements

        As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the amounts of our assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value were immaterial.

        ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement includes a single definition of fair value to be used for financial reporting purposes, provides a framework for applying this definition and for measuring fair

value under U.S. GAAP, and establishes a fair value hierarchy that categorizes into three levels the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are summarized as follows:

        Level 1—Fair value is based on observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

        Level 2—Fair value is determined using quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets that are not active or inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable.

        Level 3—Fair value is determined using one or more significant inputs that are unobservable in active markets at the measurement date, such as a pricing model, discounted cash flow or similar technique.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

        The carrying amounts reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets for accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the immediate to short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The estimated fair values of our First and Second Lien Term Loans as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as they have been calculated based upon ask prices of identical liabilities in an inactive market and were as follows:

9. Income Taxes

        The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act") was enacted in December 2017. The Tax Act permanently reduces the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from a maximum 35% to 21%, eliminates corporate Alternative Minimum Tax, modified rules for expensing capital investment, limits the deduction of interest expense for certain companies and has international tax consequences for companies that operate internationally. Most of the changes introduced in the Tax Act were effective January 1, 2018. As of December 31, 2017, we were able to determine a reasonable estimate of the effects on our existing deferred tax balances and in doing so, recognized a provisional income tax benefit of $27.3 million in year ended December 31, 2017. As of June 30, 2018, we have not changed the provisional estimates recognized in 2017.

        All amounts recognized, which are associated with the Tax Act as of June 30, 2018 are provisional. Given the complexity of the Tax Act, we are still evaluating the tax impact and obtaining the information required to complete the accounting. The date we expect to complete the accounting is not currently determinable while we continue to obtain the information required to complete the accounting. Given the provisional amounts recognized in 2017, and the fact that we have not changed

our provisional estimates, the impact of the measurement period adjustments was not material during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

        The Company is subject to legal and regulatory actions that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. The assessment as to whether a loss is probable or reasonably possible, and as to whether such loss or a range of such loss is estimable, often involves significant judgment about future events. In the opinion of management, there was not at least a reasonable possibility the Company may have incurred a material loss with respect to loss contingencies for asserted legal and other claims. However, the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain.

11. Long-Term Incentive Plan

2017 and 2018 Participation Plans

        On April 9, 2018, the Company terminated the 2017 Participation Plan and replaced it with the 2018 Participation Plan. The 2018 Participation Plan has substantially similar terms and provisions as the 2017 Participation Plan. The 2018 Plan may be modified at any point before a qualifying event. The 2018 Plan will be terminated upon the closing of Gores Holdings II Merger in exchange for a cash payment to participants in the 2018 Participation Plan of $28.4 million.

12. Segment Reporting

        The Company has two operating and reportable segments, Government Solutions and Commercial Services. Government Solutions delivers traffic law enforcement services and products to state and local governments. Commercial Services delivers tolling and violation management services to rental car companies, commercial fleet vehicle owners and violation issuing authorities. The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") function is comprised of the Company's CEO and certain defined representatives of the Company's majority shareholder. The Company's CODM function monitors operating performance, allocates resources and deploys capital based on these two operating and reportable segments.

        Segment performance is based on revenues and income (loss) from operations before depreciation, amortization, impairment and gain (loss) on disposal of assets and after other income, net. The table below refers to this measure as Segment profit (loss). Depreciation, amortization, impairment and gain (loss) on disposal of assets, interest expense, loss on extinguishment of debt and income taxes are not indicative of operating performance, and, as a result are not included in the measures that are reviewed by the CODM function for the operating and reportable segments. Other income, net consists primarily of credit card rebates earned on the prepayment of tolling violations and therefore included in Segment profit (loss). There are no significant non-cash items reported in Segment profit (loss).

        The Company allocates certain corporate expenses to the two operating and reportable segments. The corporate expenses are allocated using several different factors depending on the item being allocated. These factors range from specific identification to headcount based to split evenly between the two operating and reportable segments. Corporate expenses includes all of the items above that are

VERRA MOBILITY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation and Description of Business

        On May 31, 2017, Verra Mobility Corporation ("Verra Mobility"), formerly known as ATS Consolidated Inc. was acquired by Greenlight Acquisition Corporation ("Parent") pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated April 15, 2017 by and among Verra Mobility, Greenlight Merger Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, ("Merger Sub") and Parent whereby Verra Mobility merged with and into Merger Sub with the former surviving (the "Merger"). Parent is ultimately owned by certain private equity investment vehicles sponsored by Platinum Equity, LLC (such investment vehicles, collectively, "Platinum") (See Note 3).

        Pursuant to the Merger, a new basis of accounting at fair value was established in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 805, Business Combinations. The new stepped-up basis was pushed down by Parent to Verra Mobility. The consolidated financial statements and footnotes contained herein are presented in distinct periods to indicate the application of two different bases of accounting between the periods presented. All periods presented up to, and including, May 31, 2017 have been labeled ("Predecessor", or "2017 Predecessor Period") and have been prepared using the historical basis of accounting of the Predecessor. The period from June 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 has been labeled ("Successor" or "2017 Successor Period"). The accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes include a black line division separating the Predecessor Period from the Successor Period. As a result of purchase accounting, the pre-Merger and post-Merger consolidated financial statements are not comparable.

        Verra Mobility and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") is a technology enabled services company offering traffic safety, mobility and compliance solutions for state and local governments, commercial fleets and rental car companies. The Company has customers located throughout the United States and Canada. The Company is organized into two main operating divisions: Government Solutions and Commercial Services (See Note 17).

        The Government Solutions division provides complete, end-to-end red-light, speed, school bus stop arm and bus lane enforcement solutions. The Company's programs are designed to reduce traffic violations and resulting collisions, injuries, and fatalities. The Company implements and administers traffic safety programs for municipalities and agencies of all sizes.

        The Commercial Services division offers toll and violation management solutions for the commercial fleet and rental car industries by partnering with the leading fleet management and rental car companies in North America. PlatePass® is an electronic toll payment service that enables fleet drivers and rental car customers to use high-speed cashless toll lanes or cashless all-electronic toll roads. The service helps commercial fleets reduce toll management costs, while it provides rental car companies with a revenue-generating, value-added service for their customers. VioLogics™ is an electronic violation processing service that reduces the cost and risk associated with vehicle-issued violations, such as toll, parking or camera-enforced tickets. Title and registration services offer title and registration processing for individuals, rental car companies and fleet management companies.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Principles and Policies

Principles of Consolidation

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Company's management, the consolidated financial

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Principles and Policies (Continued)

statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation.

Use of Estimates

        The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the fair values assigned to net assets acquired (including identifiable intangibles) in business combinations, the carrying amounts of long-lived assets, goodwill and installation and service parts, the allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, and the fair values of asset retirement obligations, derivative instruments and share-based compensation.

        Management believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances; however, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a remaining maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

        The Company collects citation fees for customers under certain contracts, which it deposits daily into Company bank accounts and transfers to customer-owned bank accounts on a continuous basis. Restricted cash is classified as a current asset and the corresponding liability due to customers is classified in current liabilities.

Concentration of Credit Risk

        Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and unbilled receivables. The Company limits cash and cash equivalents to highly rated financial institutions.

        Accounts receivable and unbilled receivables are uncollateralized customer obligations due from the sale of products or services. Accounts receivable and unbilled receivables have normal trade terms less than one year and are stated at the amounts billed to the customers. Unbilled receivables are recorded when the revenue has been earned but not billed. No interest or late fees are charged on delinquent accounts.

        The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts for potentially uncollectible accounts. Estimates are used in determining the allowance for doubtful accounts and are based on historical collection experience, the condition of receivables and current trends. Actual receivables are written-off against the allowance when the Company has determined the balance will not be collected. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $5.5 million and $6.4 million respectively.

        Revenues from one of the Company's customers accounted for 13.9%, 13.9%, 19.3% and 15.1% of net sales, for the 2017 Successor Period, the 2017 Predecessor Period and the years ended

December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Accounts receivable from this customer were $6.0 million and $11.9 million as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Fair Value of Measurements

        ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement includes a single definition of fair value to be used for financial reporting purposes, provides a framework for applying this definition and for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP, and establishes a fair value hierarchy that categorizes into three levels the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are summarized as follows:

    Level 1—Fair value is based on observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

    Level 2—Fair value is determined using quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets that are not active or inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable.

    Level 3—Fair value is determined using one or more significant inputs that are unobservable in active markets at the measurement date, such as a pricing model, discounted cash flow, or similar technique.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

        The carrying amounts reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the immediate to short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of the Company's interest rate swap, which was terminated in 2016, was derived from observable inputs for similar liabilities in active markets and accordingly was considered level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair values of our First and Second Lien Term Loans as of December 31, 2017 were categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and were calculated based upon ask prices of identical liabilities in an inactive market. The estimated fair value of our note payable at December 31, 2016 was categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and was derived from observable inputs for similar liabilities in active markets. The carrying value and fair value of these long-term debt instruments are as follows:

Installation and Service Parts

        Installation and service parts consist of components used in the construction and maintenance of red-light camera and speed enforcement systems. Installation and service parts are stated at the lower of cost or market and are reclassified to property and equipment upon initiation of construction. Installation and service parts used in repairs and maintenance are recorded in operating expenses. The Company writes down installation and service parts to estimated market value based on assumptions

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Principles and Policies (Continued)

regarding future usage. Such write downs establish a new cost basis for the items. In estimating excess and obsolete reserves the Company primarily evaluates estimates of usage over a 12 month period and provides reserves for installation and service parts on hand in excess of the estimated 12 month usage.

Property and Equipment

        Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. All repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:

Building

  39 years

Equipment installed at customer sites

  3 - 7 years

Computer equipment

        Equipment installed at customer sites includes certain installation costs that qualify for capitalization. Software costs include certain internal and external costs associated with the development of software that are incurred subsequent to the development stage. In addition, a modification or upgrade to existing software is capitalized only to the extent it results in additional functionality to existing software. Software maintenance and training costs are expensed as incurred. The Company capitalized internal and external software costs of $1.9 million, $0.8 million, $4.1 million and $1.8 million for the 2017 Successor Period, the 2017 Predecessor Period and the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, respectively.

        For the 2017 Successor Period, the 2017 Predecessor Period and the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized gains from the sale of certain assets of zero, $0.1 million, $0.4 million and $1.4 million respectively.

        In 2016, the Company sold a building for total proceeds of $0.9 million, resulting in a gain of $0.2 million, which was recognized as income in depreciation, amortization and (gain) loss on disposal of assets, net in the consolidated statement of operations. At December 31, 2016, the Company had a note receivable from buyer in the amount of $0.3 million, which was paid in 2017.

Goodwill

        Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is not amortized to earnings but assessed for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. If, based on qualitative analysis, it is determined more-likely-than-not the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a two-step goodwill impairment test is performed. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, the assignment of assets (including goodwill) to those reporting units and the determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. As described in Note 17, the Company has two operating segments which are also the

Company's reporting units. As of December 31, 2017, the Company completed its impairment test of goodwill and determined there were no indicators of impairment.

Intangible Assets

        Intangible assets represent existing customer contracts and relationships, patents, trade names, developed technology and non-compete agreement intangibles. Other intangible assets are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives. Amortization of other intangible assets is included in depreciation and amortization in the consolidated statements of operations.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

        The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment loss if the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the long-lived asset is less than the carrying amount of the long-lived asset being evaluated.

        For the 2017 Successor Period, the 2017 Predecessor Period and the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized losses of $0.0 million, $0.0 million, $0.5 million, and $3.9 million respectively. These impairment losses are recorded in depreciation, amortization and gain (loss) on disposal of assets, net in the consolidated statements of operations. The majority of these losses relate to customers of Government Solutions division cancelling prior to the property and equipment being fully depreciated, necessitating the write-off of unrecoverable capitalized costs associated with the cameras. The Company believes the carrying amounts of its remaining long-lived assets at December 31, 2017 are fully realizable and does not believe any additional impairment losses are necessary.

Derivative Instruments

        The Company is exposed in the normal course of business to interest rate risks that could affect the Company's operating results. The Company used derivative instruments, including interest rate swap agreements, to manage its exposure to interest rate fluctuations by effectively fixing the interest rate on a portion of its floating-rate debt. These derivative instruments were used for hedging purposes only, not for trading or speculative purposes. The Company recorded all derivative instruments at fair value. The Company recognized changes in fair value of derivative instruments that are designated and qualified for hedge accounting as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders' equity. The Company terminated its interest rate swap in 2016.

Self-Insurance

        The Company is self-insured for medical costs and has stop-loss insurance policies in to limit the Company's exposure to individual and aggregate claims made. Liabilities for these programs are estimated based upon outstanding claims and claims estimated to be incurred but not yet reported based upon historical loss experience. These estimates are subject to variability due to changes in trends of losses for outstanding claims and incurred but not reported claims, including external factors such as the number, and cost of, claims, benefit level changes and claim settlement patterns.

Asset Retirement Obligations

        The Company records the fair value of obligations to perform certain retirement activities on camera and speed enforcement systems in the period that the related assets are placed in service. Asset retirement obligations are contractual obligations to restore property to its initial state. These obligations, which are initially estimated based on discounted cash flow estimates, are accreted to full value over time through charges to operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The associated asset retirement obligation is capitalized as part of the related asset's carrying value of the long-lived asset and is depreciated over the asset's estimated remaining useful life.

Deferred Financing Costs

        Deferred financing costs consist of the costs incurred to obtain long-term financing, including the Company's Credit Agreement (See Note 9). These costs, which are presented as a reduction to long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheets, are amortized over the term of the related debt, using the effective interest method for term debt and the straight-line method for revolving credit facilities. Amortization of deferred financing costs for the 2017 Successor Period, the 2017 Predecessor Period and the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $2.0 million, $0.1 million, $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

Income Taxes

        The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences attributable to differences between the balance sheet carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax liabilities and assets that are not related to an asset or liability are classified according to the expected reversal date of the temporary difference. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion of all the tax assets will not be realized. The realization of deferred tax assets can be affected by, among other things, the nature, frequency, and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the length of statutory carryforward periods, the Company's experience with utilizing operating losses and tax credit carryforwards by jurisdiction and tax planning alternatives that may be available.

        On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 was signed into law. See Note 11 for further discussion.

Stock-based Compensation

        Participants in the Company's 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2010 Plan") were eligible to receive cash payouts for vested units issued under the 2010 Plan. Accordingly, the 2010 Plan was accounted for as a liability which was re- measured at fair value on each balance sheet date. Changes in the fair value were recognized in earnings over the requisite service period. The fair value of each unit granted was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions and requires the Company to estimate

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Principles and Policies (Continued)

forfeitures in calculating the expense related to stock-based compensation. In 2016, the Company terminated the 2010 Plan and cancelled all outstanding units.

        Participants in the Company's 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2016 Plan") are eligible to receive cash payouts for vested units issued under the 2016 Plan. Awards vest ratably over four years and pay out on a change in control of theCompany. Accordingly, the 2016 Plan was treated as an equity award and compensation cost of approximately $11.9 million was recognized and included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations upon the Merger.

        On July 6, 2017, Greenlight Holdings Corporation, the indirect parent of Verra Mobility, implemented the 2017 Participation Plan (the "2017 Plan"), under which those employees of the Company who are participants in the plan may be entitled to receive compensation upon the occurrence of certain qualifying events. The 2017 Plan may be modified at any point before a qualifying event.

Revenue Recognition

        The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of the sales arrangement exists, the sales price and fees are fixed or determinable, delivery has occurred and/or services have been rendered with no significant obligations remaining and collectability is reasonably assured.

Government Solutions

        Service revenue is recognized as services are performed or as citations are issued or paid depending on the terms of the contract. Service contracts typically include the operation and maintenance of fixed and/or mobile traffic enforcement systems, as well as processing services including violation notices, payment processing services, affidavit/liability transfer and new address services, inbound and outbound call support, skip tracing, department of motor vehicle hold services and/or debt collection services. Pricing for services are agreed to in the customer contract and can be fixed per camera, variable based on citation volume or a combination of both. Fixed fee revenue is recognized when the camera is operational and able to generate violations. Variable fee revenue is recognized at the time the service is performed.

        Product sales, which include the sale of camera systems and installations, are recognized when the equipment is either accepted or installed.

        For contracts including both service revenue and product sales, an allocation of revenue between the elements is based on each deliverable's best estimated selling price and elements are recognized once the product or service has been delivered.

        Certain contracts allow the customer to defer payment on fixed fee contracts until the funds received by the customer from the program equal or exceed the Company's fees. Revenue is recognized based on the lesser of the funds received by the customer and the fixed fee.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Principles and Policies (Continued)

Commercial Services

        Service revenues are recognized as services are performed. Tolling services provide nonstop toll processing for rental car companies (RACs') and fleet management companies (FMCs') customers who drive rental car vehicles or fleet vehicles, respectively. For RACs, once the Company receives toll usage information and identifies the driver, the driver is charged for both the toll and a processing fee in accordance with their rental contract with the RAC, and a portion of the processing fee is remitted to the RAC. For FMCs, the Company aggregates all tolls and charges FMCs the aggregate toll amounts and a processing fee in accordance with the Company's contract with the FMC. All tolls are paid to the tolling authority by the Company. Toll revenue is recorded net of payment of the related tolls and any amounts payable to RACs.

        Violation services processes driver violations for RACs' and FMCs' customers who drive rental car vehicles or fleet vehicles, respectively. For RACs, when a violation is reported, if possible the Company transfers the liability for the fine to the driver of the vehicle and charges the driver a processing fee in accordance with their rental contract with the RAC. Where transfers of liability are not possible, the Company pays the fine and charges the RAC's driver for the fine plus the processing fee. In each case, a portion of the collected processing fees is remitted to the RAC. For FMCs, when a violation is reported, the Company generally does not transfer the liability for the fine to the driver, and directly bills the amount of the fine and a processing fee directly to the FMC. All violation fines are paid to the issuing authority by the Company. Violation fine revenue is recorded net of the payment of the violation and net of any amounts paid to RACs.

        Title and registration processing services are offered, primarily, to FMCs and RACs. The Company pays the title and registration fees to the appropriate motor vehicle authority on behalf of the customer and then charges the customer for the title and registration fees paid, plus a processing fee. Revenue is recognized for the total amount billed to the customer net of the registration cost.

        Revenues generated through one of the Company's Commercial Services partners accounted for 24.3%, 23.4%, 22.0% and 25.0% of net sales for the 2017 Successor Period, the 2017 Predecessor Period and the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

        Amortization of deferred contract inducement fees, which are paid to certain of the Company's fleet management and rental car customers, is recorded over the life of the respective contracts. Amortization of deferred contract inducement fees is included as a reduction of revenue.

Credit Card Rebates

        The Company earns credit card rebates for purchases made with its credit card and recognizes the benefit in other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations. During the 2017 Successor Period, the 2017 Predecessor Period and the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded $2.1 million, $1.3 million, $2.9 million and $2.5 million respectively, related to credit card rebates.

Advertising Costs

        The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs for the 2017 Successor Period, the 2017 Predecessor Period and the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 were

FS-73

$0.4 million, $0.4 million, $1.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively, and are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Foreign Currency

        Certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are re-measured at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. The foreign currency effect of the re-measurement of these assets and liabilities are included in other (income) expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The impact of foreign currency re-measurements were zero, $0.0 million, $0.7 million and $0.6 million for the 2017 Successor Period, the 2017 Predecessor Period and the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Business Combinations

        The Company applies the asset acquisition method to account for business acquisitions. The Company allocates the fair value of the purchase price consideration to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the fair value of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill.

        The determination and allocation of fair values to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on various assumptions and valuation methodologies requiring considerable management judgment and include the use of independent valuation specialists to assist the Company in estimating fair values of acquired tangible and/or intangible assets. Although the Company believes that the assumptions applied in the determination are reasonable based on information available at the date of acquisition, actual results may differ from estimates.

Segment Information

        In accordance with the provisions of ASC 280-10, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", the Company is required to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments that meet certain quantitative thresholds. The Company has two operating segments (Government Solutions and Commercial Services) for which separate financial information is available and is regularly reviewed by the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to assess performance and make decisions about the allocation of resources. As of December 31, 2017, our CODM function was an operating group consisting of our Chief Executive Officer and certain defined representatives of the Company's majority shareholder (See note 17).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Adopted

        In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. ASU 2015-17 requires entities to present deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. The ASU simplifies the previous guidance, which required entities to separately present deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. The Company early adopted ASU 2015-17 for the year ended December 31, 2015 and reclassified

deferred tax amounts of $9.5 million from long-term assets to reductions in long-term liabilities at December 31, 2014.

        In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption was permitted. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

        In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. The updates in ASU 2017-09 were issued to provide clarity and reduce both (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity when changing the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards. Under the updated guidance, a modification is defined as a change in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award, and an entity should account for the effects of a modification unless certain conditions are met. The new standard was effective for the Company on January 1, 2018 but has not yet had an impact as no stock-based awards have been subject to a modification.

        In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The guidance in 2017-01 clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The new standard was effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The Company considered the provisions of this standard in concluding that the purchase of Highway Toll Administration, LLC and Euro Parking Collection plc during 2018 (see Note 18) should be accounted for as an acquisition of a business and not as an acquisition of assets. Any additional impact will depend on the nature of the Company's future acquisition activities.

        In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The standard addresses the following specific cash flow issues: (1) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (2) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing, (3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, (4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, (5) proceeds from settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, (6) distributions received from equity method investees, (7) beneficial interests in securitization transitions and (8) separately identifiable cash flows and application of predominance principle. The new standard was effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, which the Company elected to adopt prospectively. Prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted, as the impact was not deemed material. The new standard affected the presentation of cash payments associated with the extinguishment of our debt in the first quarter of 2018 (see Note 18). In accordance with the new standard, cash payments associated with the loss on extinguishment of debt were presented as a cash outflow from financing

activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 in the Company's condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

        In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment and removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Entities will continue to have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. The same one-step impairment test will be applied to goodwill at all reporting units, even those with zero or negative carrying amounts. The amendments in this ASU are effective for goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The impact of the implementation of this standard is still being determined by the Company.

        In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash, which requires a statement of cash flows to include restricted cash in the change in cash and cash equivalents. ASU 2016-18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The impact of the implementation of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on net cash provided (used in) operating activities.

        In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230). ASU 2016-15 is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. This new standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The impact of the implementation of this standard is still being determined by the Company.

        In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires companies to present assets held at amortized cost and available for sale debt securities net of the amount expected to be collected. The guidance requires the measurement of expected credit losses to be based on relevant information from past events, including historical experiences, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectability. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Different components of the guidance require modified retrospective or prospective adoption. The impact of the implementation of this standard is still being determined by the Company.

        In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The impact of the implementation of this standard is still being determined by the Company.

        In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments- Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 modifies how entities measure equity investments and present changes in the fair value of financial liabilities. Under the new guidance, entities will have to measure equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income unless the investments qualify for the new practicality exception. A practicality exception will apply to those equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value and do not qualify

for the practical expedient to estimate fair value under ASU 820, Fair Value Measurements, and as such, these investments may be measured at cost. ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The impact of the implementation of this standard is still being determined by the Company.

        In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue Recognition—Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 requires companies to recognize revenue when a customer obtains control rather than when companies have transferred substantially all risks and rewards of a good or service. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim reporting periods beginning after that date. The impact of the implementation of this standard is still being determined by the Company.

        In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), to improve the guidance related to principal versus agent. ASU 2016-08 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The impact of the implementation of this standard is still being determined by the Company.

3. Merger and Acquisition

Verra Mobility Merger

        On May 31, 2017, Verra Mobility was acquired by Parent through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Verra Mobility for a total purchase price of $550.0 million less adjustments set forth in the Merger agreement, resulting in a total purchase price of $548.2 million.

Predecessor

        The Company recognized approximately $21.1 million of costs related to the Merger, which were included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations for the 2017 Predecessor Period. These costs consisted of $11.9 million of payments under the 2016 equity plan, $1.3 million of transaction bonus payments, and $7.9 million of professional fees and other expenses related to the sale of the Company.

Successor

        The Company recognized approximately $9.9 million of costs related to the Merger which are included in the selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations for the 2017 Successor Period. These costs consisted of $8.0 million of payments for acquisition services to Platinum Equity Advisors, LLC, an affiliate of Platinum ("Advisors") and $1.9 million of professional fees and other expenses related to the Merger.

        On May 31, 2017, Merger Sub obtained debt financing pursuant to a credit agreement entered into with a syndicate of lenders. Merger Sub was merged with and into Verra Mobility on the same date effectively making Verra Mobility the sole borrower (see Note 9).

        The Company employed the push down basis of accounting and allocated the consideration paid by the acquirer in connection with the Merger to the Company's assets and liabilities based on their preliminary estimated fair values at the date of the Merger as presented in the table below. The excess

        The Company had a $150 million Credit Agreement ("CA") whereby it could elect to borrow through a revolving loan, swing loan or letters of credit up to certain sub-limits as defined in the CA. The CA matures on January 31, 2019. Interest on outstanding borrowings on the revolving loan was payable monthly at the bank's prime rate for borrowings against the swing loan, or the London InterBank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") for borrowings against the revolving loan, plus a margin percentage based on the leverage ratio obtained and the type of loan outstanding. All borrowings were

9. Debt (Continued)

subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions and restrictive covenants, including absence of defaults and accuracy in material respects of representations and warranties. In addition, the CA contained customary restrictive covenants for facilities and transactions of this type. In 2016, the Company amended the CA to allow for a cash dividend paid to shareholders (see Note 12).

        At the 2017 Predecessor Period and at December 31, 2016 and 2015, interest rates were 5.0%, 4.75% and 4.50% respectively, for prime rate borrowings and 3.01%, 2.73% and 2.40% respectively, for LIBOR rate borrowings. Interest on the unused portion of the revolving loan was payable monthly at 0.25% as of the 2017 Predecessor Period and at December 31, 2016 and 2015. The Company also paid interest monthly on outstanding letters of credit of $1.0 million at 2.00% as of December 31, 2016 and 2015. The Company recorded interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing costs, of $0.9 million, $2.7 million, $2.1 million for the 2017 Predecessor Period and the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

        The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants at the 2017 Predecessor Period and for the year ended December 31, 2016. The Company's indebtedness under the CA was secured by liens on the Company's assets. All amounts payable under the CA were paid upon closing of the Merger.

Successor

        In connection with the Merger, the Company entered into a First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement (the "First Lien"), a Second Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement (the "Second Lien"), (collectively the "Term Loans"), and a Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Revolver") with a syndicate of lenders (collectively, the "2017 Credit Facilities"). The 2017 Credit Facilities provide for committed senior secured financing of $490.0 million, consisting of the following: the Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount of $450.0 million; and the Revolver, available for loans and letters of credit with an aggregate revolving commitment of up to $40.0 million (based on borrowing based eligibility as described below).

        The Term Loans consist of a First Lien and Second Lien initial loans of $325.0 million and $125.0 million, respectively. The Company may request one or more additional tranches of debt under the Term Loans of up to $90.0 million, subject to certain ratio requirements. The $325.0 million initial loan of the First Lien is repayable in quarterly installments of 1.0% per annum of the amount initially borrowed. The First Lien and Second Lien mature on May 31, 2024 and May 31, 2025, respectively. The First Lien bears interest based, at the Company's option, on either (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 4.50% per annum, or (2) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 3.50% per annum. The Second Lien bears interest based, at the Company's option, on either (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 8.50% per annum, or (2) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 7.50% per annum. At December 31, 2017, the interest rates on the First Lien and Second Lien were 6.12% and 10.11%, respectively.

        The Revolver matures on May 31, 2022. Borrowing eligibility under the Revolver is subject to a monthly borrowing base calculation based on (i) certain percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory, less (ii) certain reserve items, including outstanding letters of credit and other reserves. The Company may at any time, on not more than four occasions, request an increase to the Revolver of up to an aggregate amount of $25 million. The Revolver bears interest on either (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin, or (2) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin. The margin percentage

applied to (1) LIBOR is either 1.25%, 1.50%, or 1.75%, or (2) the base rate is either 0.25%, 0.50%, or 0.75%, depending on the Company's average available availability to borrow under the commitment. At December 31, 2017 the Company had no outstanding borrowings on the Revolver and availability to borrow under the Revolver was $39.0 million, net of $1.0 million of outstanding letters of credit.

        Interest on the unused portion of the Revolver is payable quarterly at 0.38% at December 31, 2017. The Company also is required to pay participation and fronting fees on $1.0 million in outstanding letters of credit at 1.38% as of December 31, 2017.

        The Company recorded interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing costs and discounts, of $20.9 million for the 2017 Successor Period.

        All borrowings and other extensions of credit under the 2017 Credit Facilities are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions and restrictive covenants, including absence of defaults and accuracy in material respects of representations and warranties.

        At December 31, 2017, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the 2017 Credit Facilities. The Company's assets have been pledged as collateral and secure the Company's indebtedness under the 2017 Credit Facilities.

        The weighted average effective interest rates of the Company's outstanding borrowings under the 2017 Credit Facilities were 7.23% at December 31, 2017.

10. Derivative Instruments

        The Company had an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $30,000,000 that terminated in July 2016. The interest rate swap agreement paid interest at 1.03% and received interest at the one month LIBOR rate. Net interest paid under the swap arrangements for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, was $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The Company did not have any interest rate swaps outstanding at December 31, 2017.

11. Income Taxes

        On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted significant changes to U.S. tax law following the passage and signing of H.R.1, "An Act to Provide for Reconciliation Pursuant to Titles II and V of the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2018" (the "Tax Act"). The Tax Act permanently reduces the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from a maximum 35% to 21%, eliminates corporate Alternative Minimum Tax, modified rules for expensing capital investment, limits the deduction of interest expense for certain companies and has international tax consequences for companies that operate internationally. Most of the changes introduced in the Tax Act are effective beginning on January 1, 2018.

        ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires filers to record the effect of tax law changes in the period enacted. However, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, which permits filers to record provisional amounts during a measurement period ending no later than one year from the date of enactment. As of December 31, 2017, the Company re-measured the applicable deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse. The gross deferred tax assets and liabilities were provisionally adjusted which resulted in a net effect of a $27.3 million decrease in net deferred tax liabilities to its provision for income taxes. No other provisional amounts have been recorded as a result of the Tax Act at this time, and the effects of the Tax Act are still being identified and evaluated by the Company.

Total deferred tax liabilities, net

  $ (49,603,691 )     $ (4,709,524 )

        In accordance with ASC 740-10, Income Taxes, deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The realization of deferred tax assets can be affected by, among other things, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the length of statutory carryforward periods, the Company's experience with utilizing operating losses and tax credit carryforwards by jurisdiction, and tax planning alternatives that may be available.

        The Company performed an analysis of the reversal of the deferred tax liabilities, and then considered the overall business environment, historical earnings and the outlook for future years. The Company determined that it is more likely than not that the benefit from certain state net operating loss carryforwards will not be realized. In recognition of this risk, in the 2017 Successor Period, the 2017 Predecessor Period and the year ended December 31, 2016 the Company provided a valuation allowance of $0.1 million on the deferred tax assets relating to these state net operating loss carryforwards.

        The net operating loss carryforwards represent $10.3 million, $9.7 million and $12.8 million of state net operating losses at December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, that began to expire in 2016. The utilization of some of these state net operating losses may also be subject to annual limitations due to ownership change rules under the Internal Revenue Code. The Company has certain tax credits of $0.4 million, $0.8 million and $0.9 million at December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which if unused will begin to expire in 2026.

11. Income Taxes (Continued)

        At December 31, 2017, uncertainties relating to tax credits and certain state income tax positions in the amount of $2.5 million was recorded as an increase in other long-term liabilities as presented in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The Company is not anticipating a significant change in the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits during the next 12 months.

        The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. The Company recognized $157,013, $85,804, $225,000 and $15,000 in interest and penalties for the 2017 Successor Period, the 2017 Predecessor Period and the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions by recognizing the financial statement effects of a tax position only when, based on technical merits, it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained under examination.

        The Company is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and taxing authorities in various states. The Company's U.S. federal income tax return remains subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for the years 2015 to 2017. The Company's state income tax return is currently under examination by the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance for the years 2014 to 2016, and various other state income tax returns for the years from 2012 to 2017 remain subject to tax examinations by tax authorities. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of additional tax deficiencies in each of the tax jurisdictions and, accordingly, makes appropriate adjustments to the tax provision as deemed necessary.

12. Stockholders' Equity

Predecessor—Capital Stock

        Holders (each, a "Predecessor Common Stockholder") of shares of common stock of Verra Mobility prior to the Merger (collectively, "Predecessor Common Stock") were entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to them for their vote or approval. Holders (each, a "Predecessor Preferred Stockholder") of shares of Series A and Series B Preferred Stock of Verra Mobility prior to the Merger (collectively, "Predecessor Preferred Stock") were entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Predecessor Common Stock into which such shares of Predecessor Preferred Stock could be converted. The voting rights and powers of Predecessor Preferred Stockholders were equal to those of the Predecessor Common Stockholders voting together with the Predecessor Common Stock as a single class.

        Shares of Predecessor Preferred Stock were convertible at the option of the holder into the number of shares of Predecessor Common Stock as determined by dividing the original issue price by the then effective conversion price. Shares of Predecessor Preferred Stock were subject to automatic conversion into shares of Predecessor Common Stock based on the then-effective conversion price upon an initial public offering having a per share price of not less than $3.125 with minimum net proceeds of $30.0 million, or if greater than 50% of the Predecessor Series A Preferred Stockholders, voting as a separate class, elect to convert the shares of Predecessor Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Predecessor Common Stock, or if greater than 50% of the Predecessor Series B Preferred Stockholders, voting as a separate class, elect to convert the shares of Predecessor Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Predecessor Common Stock.

        Shares of Predecessor Preferred Stock have been classified as equity on the consolidated balance sheet. The features of the Preferred Stock are those of an equity instrument based on consideration of

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

12. Stockholders' Equity (Continued)

the terms of the Predecessor Preferred Stock. The conversion feature does not require accounting separate from the Predecessor Preferred Stock, because it is considered to be clearly and closely related to the Predecessor Preferred Stock. The redemption feature does not qualify as a derivative on a stand-alone basis.

        The holders of Predecessor Series A Preferred Stock and Predecessor Series B Preferred Stock were entitled to receive dividends at $0.10 and $0.16 per share, respectively, payable only if and when declared by the Board of Directors. The dividends on each share were noncumulative and accrue from the date declared by the Board of Directors. Predecessor Preferred Stockholders were equally entitled to receive this dividend prior to and in preference to a dividend on any shares of Predecessor Common Stock. After the Predecessor Preferred Stockholders have received the preferential dividend described above, they were entitled to participate, on an as-converted basis to Predecessor Common Stock, in any additional dividends declared on Predecessor Common Stock. In April 2016, Verra Mobility paid a cash dividend to all Predecessor Common Stockholders and Predecessor Preferred Stockholders in the amount of $0.30 per share, for a total of $47.1 million. The Predecessor Preferred Stockholders waived their right to certain preferential dividends under Verra Mobility's organizational documents. There were no accrued dividends at December 31, 2016.

        As a result of the Merger, all outstanding shares of Predecessor Common Stock and Predecessor Preferred Stock were cancelled and converted into the right to receive $3.10 for each share.

Successor

        Verra Mobility has 1,000 shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance. Pursuant to the plan of merger, Parent received 100 common shares of Verra Mobility and is the sole shareholder at December 31, 2017.

        In connection with the Merger transaction, the Company received $129.0 million in cash from Platinum Equity which has been reflected in the Statement of Stockholder's Equity as additional paid in capital.

13. Long-term Incentive Plan

Predecessor

        The Company had a 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan ("2010 Plan") which allowed the Company to grant appreciation rights in Phantom Stock Units (each, a "PSU" and collectively, "PSUs") to employees, officers and nonemployee directors of the Company. PSUs vested ratably over five years and paid out on the sixth anniversary of the grant date. PSU liability payouts related to departed 2010 Plan participants during the year ended December 31, 2016 were $1.3 million. In 2016, the Company terminated the 2010 Plan and cancelled all outstanding PSUs.

        In 2016, the Company created a 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2016 Plan"), which allowed the Company to grant stock appreciation rights (each, an "SAR" and collectively, "SARs"), options, restricted stock or restricted stock units to employees, directors, consultants and service providers. Awards vested ratably over four years and paid out on a change in control of the Company. The Company initially granted 11,222,500 SARs under the 2016 Plan, with an initial strike price of $2.24 per SAR that was subsequently amended to $1.96 per SAR. As a result of the Acquisition all 10,447,500 remaining outstanding SARs were paid out at $3.10 per SAR resulting in an $11.9 million charge

recognized in selling, general, and administrative expense. The Company terminated the 2016 Plan concurrent to the payout of the remaining SARs.

        The Company recorded a stock based compensation recovery of $0.6 million and $2.3 million, respectively for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Successor

        On July 6, 2017, Greenlight Holding Corporation, the indirect parent of Verra Mobility implemented the 2017 Participation Plan (the "2017 Plan") under which those employees who are participants in the plan may be entitled to receive compensation upon the occurrence of certain qualifying events. The 2017 Plan may be modified at any point before a qualifying event. As of December 31, 2017, no qualifying events have occurred nor are probable of occurring; and, no amounts have been paid under the 2017 Plan, and no expense has been recorded.

14. Employee Benefit Plan

        The Company has a 401(k) plan that covers substantially all employees who meet certain eligibility requirements. Company employees may elect to have a portion of their compensation withheld up to the statutory limit. The 401(k) plan includes a Company match that vests immediately. The Company made employer contributions of $0.7 million, $0.6 million, $1.3 million, $1.2 million during the 2017 Successor Period, the 2017 Predecessor Period and the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

15. Related Party Transactions

Predecessor

        The Company has an exclusive Supply and Distribution Agreement with an affiliate of a former stockholder of Verra Mobility ("Related Party Vendor"). The agreement covers the development and supply of photo-traffic law enforcement equipment and expires in September 2019. During the 2017 Predecessor Period and the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company purchased a total of $3.7 million, $5.2 million and $4.6 million from the Related Party Vendor. Amounts due to the Related Party Vendor, which were included in accounts payable at December 31, 2016, were $1.0 million. Upon the Merger, this Related Party Vendor was no longer a stockholder of Verra Mobility (See Note 3).

Successor

        Greenlight Holding Corporation, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, including the Company, has a corporate advisory services agreement with Advisors whereby the Company pays a management fee for services and the related expenses incurred by Advisors in the provision of those services. For the 2017 Successor period, the Company paid $3.8 million in management fees and an additional $0.5 million in related expenses. In conjunction with the Merger, the Company paid $8.0 million related to the provision of acquisition related services and $2.0 million related to the provision of debt financing related services.

16. Commitments and Contingencies

        The Company has issued various letters of credit under contractual arrangements with certain of its customers. Outstanding letters of credit under these arrangements totaled $1.0 million at December 31, 2016. The letters of credit are not released until all services have been provided or the contract has been cancelled. The letters of credit are no longer outstanding as of December 31, 2017.

Legal Proceedings

        The Company is subject to legal and regulatory actions that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. The Company records a liability when it believes it is probable a loss was incurred and the amount of loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. The assessment as to whether a loss is probable, reasonably possible or remote, and as to whether a loss or a range of such loss is estimable, often involves significant judgment about future events. The Company has determined that resolution of pending matters is not probable to have a material adverse impact on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows, or financial position. However, the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain. As additional information becomes available, the Company reassesses the potential liability.

        The Company is obligated under various operating lease agreements for office and warehouse space, with payments ranging from $950 to $183,863 per month, expiring at various dates through April 2026 and with optional renewal terms. The Company is also obligated for its proportionate share of operating expenses and real estate taxes of the facilities.

17. Segment Reporting

        The Company has two operating and reportable segments, Government Solutions and Commercial Services. Government Solutions delivers traffic law enforcement services and products to state and local governments. Commercial Services delivers tolling and violation management services to rental car companies, commercial fleet vehicle owners and violation issuing authorities. The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") function is comprised of the Company's CEO and certain defined representatives of the Company's majority shareholder. The Company's CODM function monitors operating performance, allocates resources and deploys capital based on these two operating and reportable segments.

        Segment performance is based on revenues and income (loss) from operations before depreciation, amortization, impairment and gain (loss) on disposal of assets and after other income, net. The table below refers to this measure as Segment profit (loss). Depreciation, amortization, impairment and gain (loss) on disposal of assets, interest expense, and income taxes are not indicative of operating performance, and, as a result are not included in the measures that are reviewed by the CODM function for the operating and reportable segments. Other income, net consists primarily of credit card rebates earned on the prepayment of tolling violations and therefore included in Segment profit (loss). There are no significant non-cash items reported in Segment profit (loss).

17. Segment Reporting (Continued)

        The Company allocates certain corporate expenses to the two operating and reportable segments. The corporate expenses are allocated using several different factors depending on the item being allocated. These factors range from specific identification to headcount based to split evenly between the two operating and reportable segments. Corporate expenses includes all of the items above that are not included in Segment profit plus, income taxes, transaction expenses, fees to Advisors and other items designated by the CODM function as corporate initiatives.

        The Company does not disaggregate assets by segment other than "Equipment installed at customer sites" and "Automobiles". All amounts for these categories relate to the Government Solutions segment. The net book value of these items was $47.5 million and $52.5 million at Successor December 31, 2017 and Predecessor December 31, 2016, respectively. See Note 6 for goodwill balances by segment.

        The Company operates in the United States and Canada. Revenues are attributable to countries based on the location of the customer. Substantially all of the Company's assets are in the United States.

18. Subsequent Events

        In preparing the financial statements, we have evaluated subsequent events for recognition and measurement purposes through March 27, 2018, the date the independent auditors' report was originally issued and the audited annual consolidated financial statements were originally available for issuance. After the original issuance of the consolidated financial statements and through June 29 2018, we have evaluated subsequent events requiring disclosure in the accompanying financial statements. Except as described below, we have concluded there are no subsequent events requiring disclosure.

HTA Merger

        On March 1, 2018, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Highway Toll Administration, LLC, and Canada Highway Toll Administration, collectively, "HTA", pursuant to a unit purchase agreement ("Unit Agreement") for a cash purchase price of $525.0 million subject to adjustments set forth in the Unit Agreement which aggregated $9.7 million, an estimated $12.1 million payment to the HTA sellers for certain tax items and the issuance of 5.26 shares of Greenlight Holdings II Corporation ("Greenlight II" or "Parent") common stock resulting in an aggregate purchase price of $604.1 million (the "HTA Merger"). Greenlight II through a series of entities owns 100% of the Company's common stock. The Greenlight II shares issued were determined to have a fair value of $57.3 million. The Company reflected the receipt of the Greenlight II common

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

18. Subsequent Events (Continued)

shares as a capital contribution from Parent and then delivered these shares to the HTA sellers as non-cash purchase consideration.

        The Company estimated the fair value of the Greenlight Holdings II Corporation common shares issued in connection with this transaction with input from management and a contemporaneous third-party valuation of the Company. Management determined the fair value of Greenlight Holdings II Corporation was the same as the Company as Greenlight Holdings II Corporation's only holdings were the Company. The valuation advisory firm prepared a valuation report as of March 1, 2018. The assumptions and inputs used in connection with the valuation reflected management's best estimate of the Company's business condition, prospects and operating performance on the valuation date.

        The Company averaged the results of a discounted cash flow analysis, comparable public company analysis and comparable acquisitions analysis to determine an enterprise value of $2.1 billion. The Company then deducted debt of $1.0 billion to arrive at a concluded equity value of $1.1 billion, which was used to derive a per share value.

        The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is summarized as follows:

Assets acquired

       

Cash

  $ 2,995,722  

Accounts receivable

    8,189,888  

Prepaid expense and other current assets

Deferred tax liability

    4,733,044  

Total liabilities assumed

    15,134,870  

Total purchase price

  $ 604,062,715  

        The excess of cost of the HTA Merger over the net amounts assigned to the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and was assigned to the Company's Commercial Services segment. The goodwill consists largely of the expected cash flows and future growth anticipated for the Company. Most of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The customer relationship value was based on an excess earnings methodology utilizing projected cash flows. The non-competition agreement values were based on the with-or-without method. The trademark and the developed technology values were based on a relief from royalty method. The customer relationship, developed technology, non-competition and trademark intangibles were assigned useful lives of 9 years, 5.5 years, 5 years and 3 years, respectively.

18. Subsequent Events (Continued)

        The Company recognized $15.6 million of costs related to the HTA merger, which consisted of $7.2 million for acquisition services to Advisors and $8.4 million of professional fees and other expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2018. These costs consisted of $7.2 million for acquisition services to Platinum Equity Advisors, LLC, an affiliate of Platinum ("Advisors") and $8.4 million of professional fees and other expenses related to the transaction.

EPC Merger

        On April 6, 2018, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Euro Parking Collection plc ("EPC"), pursuant to a share purchase agreement for purchase consideration consisting of 5.54 shares of Greenlight II common stock and subject to certain adjustments set forth in the share purchase agreement, resulting in an aggregate purchase price of $62.6 million (the "EPC Merger").

        The Company estimated the fair value of the Greenlight Holdings II Corporation common shares issued in connection with this transaction with input from management and a contemporaneous third-party valuation of the Company. Management determined the fair value of Greenlight Holdings II Corporation was the same as the Company as Greenlight Holdings II Corporation's only holdings were the Company. The valuation advisory firm prepared a valuation report as of March 1, 2018. The assumptions and inputs used in connection with the valuation reflected management's best estimate of the Company's business condition, prospects and operating performance on the valuation date.

        The Company averaged the results of a discounted cash flow analysis, comparable public company analysis and comparable acquisitions analysis to determine an enterprise value of $2.1 billion. The Company then deducted debt of $1.0 billion to arrive at a concluded equity value of $1.1 billion, which was used to derive a per share value.

        The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is summarized as follows:

Assets acquired

       

Working capital and tangible assets

  $ 1,278,938  

Trademark

    1,100,000  

Customer relationships

    19,300,000  

Developed technology

    3,900,000  

Goodwill

    37,044,287  

Total purchase price

  $ 62,623,225  

        Goodwill arising from the acquisition was assigned to the Company's Commercial Services segment and consists largely of the expected cash flows and future growth anticipated for the Company. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The customer relationship value was based on an excess earnings methodology utilizing projected cash flows. The trademark and the developed technology values were based on a relief from royalty method. The customer relationship, trademark, and developed technology intangibles were preliminarily assigned useful lives of 10 years, 5 years and 4.5 years, respectively

        In connection with the HTA Merger, the Company entered into a First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement (the "New First Lien Term Loan"), a Second Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement (the "New Second Lien Term Loan"), (collectively the "New Term Loans") and a Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (the "New Revolver") with a syndicate of lenders (collectively, the "2018 Credit Facilities"). The 2018 Credit Facilities provide for committed senior secured financing of $1.115 billion, consisting of the New Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount of $1.04 billion and the New Revolver available for loans and letters of credit with an aggregate revolving commitment of up to $75 million (based on borrowing based eligibility as described below).

        Aggregate principal amounts due on the New First Lien and New Second Lien Term Loans are $840 million and $200 million, respectively. The 2018 Credit Facilities replace the preexisting First and Second Lien Term Loans (the "Old Term Loans), which were repaid concurrent with the closing on the 2018 Credit Facilities and also replaces the preexisting Revolver (the "Old Revolver"), which was undrawn at close. The outstanding balances on the Old First and Second Lien Term Loans, which were repaid with proceeds from the 2018 Credit Facilities, were $323.4 million and $125 million, respectively at close. The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of the 2017 Credit Facilities of approximately $10.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018, which includes a prepayment penalty of $3.8 million related to the Second Lien.

        The New First Lien Term Loan is repayable in quarterly installments of 1.0% per annum of the amount initially borrowed. The New First Lien and New Second Lien Term Loans mature on February 28, 2025 and February 28, 2026, respectively. The New First Lien Term Loan bears interest based, at the Company's option, on either (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.75% per annum, or (2) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 2.75% per annum. The New Second Lien Term Loan bears interest based, at the Company's option, on either (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 7.75% per annum or (2) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 6.75% per annum.

Borrowing eligibility under the New Revolver is subject to a monthly borrowing base calculation based on (i) certain percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory, less (ii) certain reserve items, including outstanding letters of credit and other reserves. The Company may at any time, on not more than four occasions, request an increase to the New Revolver of up to an aggregate amount of $25 million. The Revolver bears interest on either (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin, or (2) an alternate base rate, plus an applicable margin. The margin percentage applied to (1) LIBOR is either 1.25%, 1.50%, or 1.75%, or (2) the base rate is either 0.25%, 0.50%, or 0.75%, depending on the Company's average available availability to borrow under the commitment.

Management's responsibility for the financial statements

        Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these combined financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of combined financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's responsibility

        Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free from material misstatement.

        An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the combined financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the combined financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the combined financial statements.

        We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

        In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements

December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS

Description of Business

        Highway Toll Administration, LLC, Canadian Highway Toll Administration, Ltd, and Violation Management Solutions, LLC (together and collectively, "HTA" or the "Company") provides tolling administration for rental car companies in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. Services includes:

    Handling the entire service and administration around tolling for rental car companies;

    Providing and installing transponders (such as E-ZPass) for rental car companies;

    Providing license plate-based video-tolling solutions (such as TollTag); and

    Processing solutions for toll violations and non-toll violations incurred by rental agency customers.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

        The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform with generally accepted principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP").

        The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of:

      Highway Toll Administration LLC, a New York limited liability company

      Canadian Highway Toll Administration Ltd, a Canadian corporation.

      Violation Management Solutions, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

        All significant intercompany items have been eliminated in combination.

Foreign Currency Translation

        The functional currency of Canadian Highway Toll Administration, Ltd is their respective local currency. Assets and liabilities of entities with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date. Income statement amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates for the period. The related translation adjustment is included in accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of equity.

Estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements (Continued)

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

        The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value:

        Cash—The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the liquidity of those instruments.

        Accounts receivable, accounts payable, and credit card liability—The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short-term duration of those instruments.

        Revolving line of credit—The carrying amount approximates fair value based on current market conditions and interest rates available to the Company for similar financial instruments.

        Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Current accounting guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement.

        The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:

  Level 1     Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2

 


 

Inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable.

 

Level 3

 


 

Unobservable inputs developed using the company's estimates and assumptions, which reflect those that market participants would use.

        The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures annually and based on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from year to year. However, the Company expects that changes in classifications between different levels will be rare.

Cash

        Substantially all of the Company's cash balances were in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits at the end of the year.

Accounts Receivable

        Accounts receivable represents customer obligations related to revenues, due under normal trade terms agreed upon in master agreements. Accounts outstanding longer than contractual terms are considered to be past due. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based on receivables that are not probable of collection after evaluating the aging of receivables and the current economic environment. When the Company determines that the amounts are not recoverable, the receivable is written off against the allowance.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

        There was no allowance for doubtful accounts recorded at December 31, 2017, 2016.

Supplies Inventory

        Supplies inventory is comprised of transponder housing units which are valued at the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out basis.

Property and Equipment

        Property and equipment are recorded at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight line method over the estimated lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:

Machinery and equipment

  5 years

Automobiles

  5 years

Furniture and fixtures

  7 years

Computer equipment

  5 years

Computer software

  5 years

        Assets recorded under leasehold improvements are amortized over the period of the lease or their estimated useful lives, whichever is shorter. Certain leasehold improvements are being amortized over a period that includes the required lease period and a renewal period that is deemed to be reasonably assured.

        Maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the useful lives of the respective assets, are expensed as incurred.

Goodwill

        Goodwill represents the excess of costs over fair value of net assets of businesses acquired.

        The Company is amortizing goodwill in accordance with Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-02 which allows private companies to amortize its goodwill on a straight-line basis over 10 years, or less than 10 years if the entity demonstrates that another useful life is more appropriate. In 2016, the Company adopted this alternative and began to amortize its acquired goodwill over a period of 10 years. In addition, impairment testing is performed only upon the occurrence of a triggering event, in which case, the Company has elected to test for impairment at the entity level.

        The Company also follows the guidance of ASU 2014-18—Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Identifiable Intangible Assets in a Business Combination (a consensus of the Private Company Council), permitting certain identifiable customer related intangibles to be subsumed into goodwill upon meeting certain criteria.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

        The Company reviews the carrying values of long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be

Revenue Recognition

        The Company recognizes toll revenues and daily fee revenues as tolls are incurred and when collectability of such amounts are reasonably assured. All revenues are recognized gross of toll fees incurred.

        The Company recognizes transponder revenues when title and risk of loss transfers to the customer, generally upon shipment.

        The Company charges its customers a fee for manual billings prepared related to toll services provided. Such handling fee revenue is recognized after services have been performed and billed to the customer.

        The Company recognizes non-toll violations when the Company performs the violation services.

        Substantially all of the Company's revenues are derived from three customers in 2017 and two customers in 2016 and 2015. For each of the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, these customers accounted for approximately the following amounts of revenues of the Company:

 
  2017   2016   2015  

Avis Budget Group

    37 %   42 %   46 %

Enterprise

    53 %   49 %   48 %

Advantage

Other rental agencies

    7 %   9 %   6 %

Income Taxes

        Highway Toll Administration, LLC and Violation Management Solutions, LLC, through HTA Holdings, Inc., its parent company, are taxed as an S Corporation under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state statutes. Pursuant to an S Corporation election, the income of the Company flows through to the shareholder to be taxed at the individual level rather than the corporate level. Accordingly, the Company will have no federal income tax liabilities as long as the S Corporation election is in effect. The total income tax expense is comprised of foreign income taxes paid in Canada related to Canadian Highway Toll Administration, Ltd and state and local income taxes for certain state jurisdictions that assess minimum taxes for Highway Toll Administration, LLC and Violation Management Solutions, LLC.

        The income allocable to HTA Holdings, Inc. is subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. In the event of an examination of the income tax returns, the tax liability of the shareholder could be changed if an adjustment in the income is ultimately determined by the taxing authorities.

        As required by the uncertain tax position guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740—Income Taxes, a tax position is recognized or derecognized based on a "more likely than

not" threshold. The amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon the ultimate settlement with the relevant taxing authority. This applies to positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company recorded no tax liability for uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015.

        The Company records interest and penalties resulting from tax-related matters as part of the operating expenses. Our tax returns for each of our federal and state tax years since 2014 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state jurisdictions.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

        Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivables. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and generally does not require collateral.

        Substantially all of the Company's accounts receivable are derived from three customers in 2017 and two customers in 2016. For each of the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, these customers accounted for approximately the following amounts of accounts receivable of the Company:

 
  2017   2016  

Enterprise

    62 %   74 %

Advantage

    17 %   0 %

Avis Budget Group

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The amendments in ASU 2017-01 clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. These amendments provide a screen to determine when a set is not a business. If the screen is not met, the amendments in this ASU first, require that to be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output and second, remove the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace missing elements. These amendments take effect for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The impact of the implementation of this standard is still being determined by the Company.

        In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230). ASU 2016-15 is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. This new standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim period within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The impact of the implementation of this standard is still being determined by the Company.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

        In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), to improve the guidance related to principal versus agent. ASU 2016-08 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The impact of the implementation of this standard is still being determined by the Company.

        In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The impact of the implementation of this standard is still being determined by the Company.

        In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 modifies how entities measure equity investments and present changes in the fair value of financial liabilities. Under the new guidance, entities will have to measure equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income unless the investments qualify for the new practicality exception. A practicality exception will apply to those equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value and do not qualify for the practical expedient to estimate fair value under ASU 820, Fair Value Measurements, and as such, these investments may be measured at cost. ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The impact of the implementation of this standard is still being determined by the Company.

        In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue RecognitionRevenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 requires companies to recognize revenue when a customer obtains control rather than when companies have transferred substantially all risks and rewards of a good or service. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim reporting periods beginning after that date. The impact of the implementation of this standard is still being determined by the Company.

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

        The Company accounts for business combinations under the provisions of the Business Combination Topic of the FASB's ASC 805. Acquisitions are accounted for by the purchase method, and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired business are recorded at their estimated fair value on the acquisition date with the excess of the purchase price over their estimated fair value recorded as goodwill. In the event the estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired exceeds the purchase price paid, a bargain purchase gain is recorded in the statement of income. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

Violation Management Services

        On May 11, 2016, Highway Toll Administration, LLC acquired substantially all the assets of Violation Management Services, Inc. ("VMS"), for a total purchase price of approximately $4,487,000.

STRATEGIC REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017

The directors present the strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2017.

Fair review of the business

        The directors consider the Group's trading result and financial position to be satisfactory and expect to increase both revenue and costs at a similar level in the future. The company continues to operate a high-quality service to its customer. The board have filtered through control systems and an ethos across the company to work towards our mission of delivering an outstanding service each and every time.

Principal risks and uncertainties

        The Group carefully considers its principal risks and manages these risks by continual monitoring and assessment, policy-setting, and compliance with all legal, statutory, and fiduciary obligations. The Company's operations expose it to various risks, including liquidity risk, foreign exchange risk, operational risk and reputation risk. Policies are set to limit such risks to negligible levels.

        The main principal risks can be identified as follows:

        Liquidity Risk

        The company's capital is maintained on a higher level. As such, liquidity risk is seen as low.

        Credit risk

        All customers have a monthly review of credit facilities and all new customers undergo a credit check. Our ongoing monitoring of this and management reporting have maintained credit risk at an acceptable level.

        Interest Rate Risk

        The Company does not have any loans therefore its interest rate risk is limited. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments.

        Foreign exchange risk

        The risk is primarily associated with trading transactions. Measuring and monitoring transaction risk is an important component of our treasury risk management.

Development and performance

        The Group has continued its expansion in the European market. During the year, the Group has increased its customer base and further strengthened its position as the market leader in the segment of cross-border enforcement of traffic related contraventions.

        The investment in new enforcement processes in countries not previously entered by the Group has continued. The investment in the Group's multilingual and multicurrency IT platform has also continued. The system, combined with the overall experience of the Group's personnel, provide a cost-efficient service for the cross-border collection of traffic related contraventions irrespective of which country the issuing authority is based in and irrespective of the country to which the notification will be made.

FS-117

Key performance indicators

        The directors have identified those principal risks and uncertainties faced by the company and have taken steps to minimise their impact on its ongoing operational and financial affairs. As part of this process, the directors monitor the company's ongoing financial performance against the various key performance indicators such as the number of received cases, which has increased by 10% during the 2017 financial year compared to the 2016 financial year.

Supplier payment policy

        The company's current policy concerning the payment of trade creditors is to:

FS-119


Table of Contents

        Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the group and company, and of the profit or loss of the group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:

    select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

    make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

    state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

    prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the group and company will continue in business.

        The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the group's and company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the group and company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the group and company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

        The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the company website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Statement of disclosure to auditor

        So far as each person who was a director at the date of approving this report is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the auditor of the company is unaware. Additionally, the directors individually have taken all the necessary steps that they ought to have taken as directors in order to make themselves aware of all relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor of the company is aware of that information.

The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

        In our opinion the financial statements:

    give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and the parent company's affairs as at 31 December 2017 and of its profits for the year then ended;

    have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

    have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion

        We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

        We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:

    the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or

    the directors have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the group's or the parent company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Other information

        The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except

FS-121


Table of Contents

to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

        In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

        We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

        In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:

    the information given in the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

    the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

        In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report.

        We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

    adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

    the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

    certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or

    we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of directors

        As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

        In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

FS-122

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

        Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

        A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: http://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

        This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017

1 Accounting policies

Company information

        Euro Parking Collection PLC ("the company") is a public limited company domiciled and incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Unit 6 Shepperton House, 83-93 Shepperton Road, London, N1 3DF.

        The group consists of Euro Parking Collection PLC and all of its subsidiaries.

1.1   Accounting convention

        These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" ("FRS 102") and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

        The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

        The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2   Basis of consolidation

        In the parent company financial statements, the cost of a business combination is the fair value at the acquisition date of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed, plus costs directly attributable to the business combination. The excess of the cost of a business combination over the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired is recognised as goodwill. The cost of the combination includes the estimated amount of contingent consideration that is probable and can be measured reliably, and is adjusted for changes in contingent consideration after the acquisition date. Provisional fair values recognised for business combinations in previous periods are adjusted retrospectively for final fair values determined in the 12 months following the acquisition date. Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are accounted for at cost less impairment.

        The consolidated financial statements incorporate those of Euro Parking Collection PLC and all of its subsidiaries (ie entities that the group controls through its power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain economic benefits). Subsidiaries acquired during the year are consolidated using the purchase method. Their results are incorporated from the date that control passes.

        All financial statements are made up to 31 December 2017. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with those used by other members of the group.

        All intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised profits or losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017

1 Accounting policies (Continued)

1.3   Going concern

        These financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

1.4   Turnover

        The company collects monies for road tolls and cross border traffic related charges on behalf of its client. Turnover represents the company's agreed share of such monies collected, and is stated net of value added tax. Revenue recognition takes place only when the monies are collected on behalf of the clients, and based on the terms agreed with those clients.

        Revenue from contracts for the provision of professional services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion when the stage of completion, costs incurred and costs to complete can be estimated reliably. Where the outcome cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent of the expenses recognised that are recoverable.

1.5   Tangible fixed assets

        Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

        Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Fixtures, fittings & equipment

  33.33% on cost

Computer equipment

  33.33% on cost

        The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the profit and loss account.

1.6   Fixed asset investments

        Equity investments are measured at fair value through profit or loss, except for those equity investments that are not publicly traded and whose fair value cannot otherwise be measured reliably, which are recognised at cost less impairment until a reliable measure of fair value becomes available.

        In the parent company financial statements, investments in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

        A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the group. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

1.7   Impairment of fixed assets

        At each reporting period end date, the group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any

FS-132


Table of Contents


EURO PARKING COLLECTION PLC

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017

1 Accounting policies (Continued)

such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

        The carrying amount of the investments accounted for using the equity method is tested for impairment as a single asset. Any goodwill included in the carrying amount of the investment is not tested separately for impairment.

        Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

        If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

        Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

1.8   Cash at bank and in hand

        Cash at bank and in hand are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.9   Financial instruments

        The group has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

        Financial instruments are recognised in the group's balance sheet when the group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

        Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amounts presented in the financial statements when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017

1 Accounting policies (Continued)

Basic financial assets

        Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Impairment of financial assets

        Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.

Derecognition of financial assets

        Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the group transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.

Classification of financial liabilities

        Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the group after deducting all of its liabilities.

        Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

        Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

        Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

        Financial liabilities are derecognised when the group's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.10 Equity instruments

        Equity instruments issued by the group are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the group.

1.11 Taxation

        The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current tax

        The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The group's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.

Deferred tax

        Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the timing difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.

        The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the profit and loss account, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if, and only if, there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.

1.12 Employee benefits

        The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets.

        The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received.

        Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017

1 Accounting policies (Continued)

1.13 Retirement benefits

        Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

1.14 Leases

        Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to income on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the lease asset are consumed.

1.15 Foreign exchange

        Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation are included in the profit and loss account for the period.

2 Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

        In the application of the group's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

        The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing the common stock of First Merger Sub shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

            (d)   Each share of Company Common Stock held in the Company's treasury or owned by Parent, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub or the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (each an "Excluded Share"), shall be cancelled and no consideration shall be paid or payable with respect thereto.

            (e)   The numbers of shares of Parent Class A Stock that the Company Stockholders are entitled to receive as a result of the First Merger and as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, split-up, reverse stock split, stock dividend or distribution (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Parent Class A Stock), extraordinary cash dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Parent Class A Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Closing.

        2.8    Effect of the Second Merger.     Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Second Effective Time, by virtue of the Second Merger and without any action on the part of any Party or any Company Stockholder or the holders of any shares of capital stock of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or Second Merger Sub: (a) each share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist without any conversion thereof or payment therefor; and (b) each membership interest of Second Merger Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be converted into and become one membership interest of the Surviving Entity, which shall constitute the only outstanding equity of the Surviving Entity. From and after the Second Effective Time, the membership interests of the Second Merger Sub shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of membership interests into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

        2.9    Surrender of Company Certificates and Disbursement of Closing Consideration.     

            (a)   Subject to this Section 2.9, at the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver, or cause to be delivered to each Company Stockholder such Company Stockholder's: (i) Pro Rata Cash Share of: (A) the Closing Cash Payment Amount; minus (B) the Adjustment Escrow Amount; and (ii) Pro Rata Stock Share of the Closing Number of Securities (collectively, the "Closing Consideration").

            (b)   Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint a commercial bank or trust company (the "Exchange Agent") for the purpose of exchanging Certificates for each Company Stockholder's portion of the Closing Consideration.

            (c)   At the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent the aggregate amount of the cash portion of the Closing Consideration and make available the aggregate amount of the equity portion of the Closing Consideration. Such cash and equity deposited with the Exchange Agent shall be referred to in this Agreement as the "Exchange Fund". At the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver irrevocable instructions to the Exchange Agent to deliver the Closing Consideration out of the Exchange Fund in the manner it is contemplated to be issued or paid pursuant to this Article II.

            (d)   Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within five Business Days thereafter), the Exchange Agent shall mail to each Company Stockholder (other than holders of Excluded Shares): (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.9(g)) to the Exchange Agent, such letter of transmittal to be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Stockholder Representative may reasonably agree; and (ii) instructions for surrendering the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.9(g)) to the Exchange Agent (the "Surrender Documentation"); provided, however, that the Exchange Agent shall not be required to deliver the Surrender Documentation to any Company Stockholder that has delivered its Surrender Documentation with respect to such Company Stockholder's Certificates to the Exchange Agent at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of the Certificate as provided in Section 2.9(g)) to the Exchange Agent in accordance with the terms of the Surrender Documentation, the Exchange Agent will deliver to the holder of such Certificate in exchange therefor such holder's portion of the Closing Consideration in accordance with Section 2.9(a) hereof, with: (A) any cash portion of the Closing Consideration being delivered via wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with instructions provided by such Company Stockholder in the letter of transmittal; and (B) the equity portion of the Closing Consideration being delivered via book-entry issuance, in each case, less any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.13; provided, however, that if the holder of such Certificate delivers to the Exchange Agent the Surrender Documentation with respect to such Company Stockholder's Certificates at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Exchange Agent shall deliver to the holder of such Certificate in exchange therefor such holder's portion of the Closing Consideration covered by such Surrender Documentation in accordance with clauses (A) and (B) of this sentence on the Closing Date or as promptly as practicable thereafter. The Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Until so surrendered, each Certificate shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive the applicable portion of the Total Consideration attributable to such Certificate. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of the Certificates. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the applicable portion of the Total Consideration to be delivered upon due surrender of the Certificate may be issued to such transferee if the Certificate formerly representing such shares of Company Common Stock is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid or are not applicable.

Table of Contents

            (e)   From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate is presented to the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity, Parent or the Exchange Agent for transfer, it shall be cancelled and deemed exchanged for (without interest and after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.13) the portion of the Total Consideration represented by such Certificate.

            (f)    Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments of the Exchange Fund) that remains unclaimed by the Company Stockholders for 180 days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Entity. Any Company Stockholder who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Entity for payment of their respective portion of the Total Consideration (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.13) upon due surrender of its Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.9(g)), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity, Parent, the Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former Company Stockholder for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Legal Requirements.

            (g)   In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed: (i) upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed; and (ii) if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be required by Parent as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it, the Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Entity with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue the portion of the Total Consideration attributable to such Certificate (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.13).

        2.10    Adjustment Escrow Deposit.     At the Closing, Parent shall deposit with the Escrow Agent an amount equal to $2,000,000 (the "Adjustment Escrow Amount") into a designated non-interest bearing account the ("Adjustment Escrow Account"), by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars. Pursuant to an escrow agreement to be entered into on the Closing Date by and among Parent, the Stockholder Representative and the Escrow Agent in substantially form attached hereto as Exhibit H (the "Escrow Agreement"), Parent and the Stockholder Representative will appoint the Escrow Agent to hold the Adjustment Escrow Amount until the final determination of the Final Merger Consideration and disburse the Adjustment Escrow Amount as provided herein and in the Escrow Agreement.

        2.11    Closing Calculations; Adjustment.     

            (a)   No later than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a statement (the "Estimated Adjustment Statement") setting forth the Company' good faith estimate of: (i) the Closing Working Capital (such estimate, the "Estimated Closing Working Capital"); (ii) the Closing Rollover Indebtedness Amount (the "Estimated Rollover Indebtedness Amount"); (iii) the Company Transaction Costs Adjustment Amount (the "Estimated Company Transaction Costs Adjustment Amount"); (iv) the Company Cash (the "Estimated Company Cash"); and (v) the Tax Overpayment/Underpayment Amount (the "Estimated Tax Overpayment/Underpayment Amount"), together with instructions that list the applicable bank accounts designated to facilitate payment by Parent of the Estimated Company Transaction Costs and all relevant supporting documentation used by Company in calculating such amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will consider in good faith Parent's comments to the Estimated Adjustment Statement, and if any adjustments are made to the Estimated Adjustment Statement prior to the Closing, such adjusted Estimated Adjustment Statement shall thereafter become the

Table of Contents

    Estimated Adjustment Statement for all purposes of this Agreement; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that, following the Company's consideration in good faith of Parent's comments to the Estimated Adjustment Statement, the Company may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, not to make any adjustments to the Estimated Adjustment Statement, in which case the Estimated Adjustment Statement shall be the Estimated Adjustment Statement delivered by the Company to Parent. The Estimated Adjustment Statement and the determinations contained therein shall be prepared in accordance with the applicable definitions contained in this Agreement.

            (b)   Within 90 days after the Closing Date, Parent will prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to the Stockholder Representative an unaudited statement (the "Adjustment Statement"), which shall set forth Parent's good faith calculation of each of the Closing Working Capital, the Company Transaction Costs Adjustment Amount, Company Cash, the Tax Overpayment/Underpayment Amount and the Closing Rollover Indebtedness Amount. To the extent any amounts in the calculation of the foregoing are not U.S. dollars, such amounts shall be converted to U.S. dollars using the average exchange rate to U.S. dollars for the Closing Date as reported by Bloomberg L.P. For illustrative purposes, an example of the elements of Closing Working Capital, as if the Closing Date were March 31, 2018, is attached as Schedule B hereto.

            (c)   Upon receipt from Parent, the Stockholder Representative shall have 60 days to review the Adjustment Statement (the "Adjustment Review Period"). At the request of the Stockholder Representative, Parent shall: (i) reasonably cooperate and assist, and shall cause its Subsidiaries, including the Surviving Entity, and each of their respective Representatives to reasonably cooperate and assist, the Stockholder Representative and its Representatives in the review of the Adjustment Statement (including by requesting their respective accountants to deliver to the Stockholder Representative and its Representatives copies of their work papers relating to the Surviving Entity); and (ii) provide the Stockholder Representative and its Representatives with any information reasonably requested by the Stockholder Representative that is necessary for their review of the Adjustment Statement. If the Stockholder Representative disagrees with Parent's computation of the Closing Working Capital, the Company Transaction Costs Adjustment Amount, Company Cash, the Tax Overpayment/Underpayment Amount or the Closing Rollover Indebtedness Amount (each as set forth in the Adjustment Statement), the Stockholder Representative shall, on or prior to the last day of the Adjustment Review Period, deliver a written notice to Parent (the "Adjustment Notice of Objection") that sets forth the Stockholder Representative's objections to Parent's calculation of the Closing Working Capital, the Company Transaction Costs Adjustment Amount, Company Cash, the Tax Overpayment/Underpayment Amount and the Closing Rollover Indebtedness Amount, as applicable. Any Adjustment Notice of Objection shall specify those items or amounts with which the Stockholder Representative disagrees and shall set forth the Stockholder Representative's calculation of the Closing Working Capital, the Company Transaction Costs Adjustment Amount, Company Cash, the Tax Overpayment/Underpayment Amount or the Closing Rollover Indebtedness Amount, as applicable, based on such objections (it being understood that the Stockholder Representative shall be deemed to have accepted Parent's calculation of any amounts set forth on the Adjustment Statement to which the Stockholder Representative does not object in the Adjustment Notice of Objection).

            (d)   If the Stockholder Representative does not deliver an Adjustment Notice of Objection to Parent with respect to an item contained in the Adjustment Statement within the Adjustment Review Period, the Stockholder Representative shall be deemed to have accepted Parent's calculation of the underlying item of the Closing Working Capital, the Company Transaction Costs Adjustment Amount, Company Cash, the Tax Overpayment/Underpayment Amount and the Closing Rollover Indebtedness Amount, as applicable, and such calculation shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. If the Stockholder Representative delivers an Adjustment Notice of Objection to Parent within the Adjustment Review Period, Parent and the Stockholder

A-10


Table of Contents

    Representative shall, during the 30 days following such delivery or any mutually agreed extension thereof, use their good faith efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items and amounts in order to determine the amount of the disputed Closing Working Capital, the Company Transaction Costs Adjustment Amount, Company Cash, the Tax Overpayment/Underpayment Amount or the Closing Rollover Indebtedness Amount, as applicable. If, at the end of such period or any mutually agreed extension thereof, Parent and the Stockholder Representative are unable to resolve their disagreements, they shall jointly retain and refer their disagreements to a nationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to Parent and the Stockholder Representative (such firm or individual, the "Independent Expert"). The Parties shall instruct the Independent Expert promptly to review this Section 2.11, as well as the Adjustment Statement, Adjustment Notice of Objection and any other materials reasonably requested by the Independent Expert, and to determine, solely with respect to the disputed items and amounts so submitted, whether and to what extent, if any, the Closing Working Capital, the Company Transaction Costs Adjustment Amount, Company Cash, the Tax Overpayment/Underpayment Amount or the Closing Rollover Indebtedness Amount, as applicable, set forth in the Adjustment Statement requires adjustment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Independent Expert shall base its determination solely on written submissions by Parent and the Stockholder Representative and not on an independent review. Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall make available to the Independent Expert all relevant books and records and other items reasonably requested by the Independent Expert. As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 45 days after its retention, the Independent Expert shall deliver to Parent and the Stockholder Representative a report that sets forth its resolution of the disputed items and amounts and its calculation of the Closing Working Capital, the Company Transaction Costs Adjustment Amount, Company Cash, the Tax Overpayment/Underpayment Amount or the Closing Rollover Indebtedness Amount, as applicable; provided, however, that the Independent Expert may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by Parent, on one hand, and the Stockholder Representative, on the other hand, nor less than the smallest value for such item claimed by Parent, on one hand, and the Stockholder Representative, on the other hand. The decision of the Independent Expert shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. The costs and expenses of the Independent Expert shall be allocated between Stockholder Representative, on the one hand, and the Stockholder Representative, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the portion of the aggregate contested amount not awarded to each Party bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by such Party, as determined by the Independent Expert.

            (e)   For purposes of this Agreement, "Final Closing Working Capital", "Final Company Transaction Costs Adjustment Amount", "Final Company Cash", "Final Tax Overpayment/Underpayment Amount" and "Final Rollover Indebtedness Amount" mean the amount of such items: (i) as shown in the Adjustment Statement delivered by Parent to the Stockholder Representative pursuant to Section 2.11(b) if no Adjustment Notice of Objection with respect thereto is timely delivered by the Stockholder Representative to Parent pursuant to Section 2.11(d); or (ii) if an Adjustment Notice of Objection is so delivered: (A) as agreed by Parent and the Stockholder Representative pursuant to Section 2.11(d); or (B) in the absence of such agreement, as determined in the Independent Expert's report delivered pursuant to Section 2.11(d).

            (f)    Within five Business Days after the Final Merger Consideration has been finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.11:

                (i)  if the Final Merger Consideration is less than the Estimated Merger Consideration, Parent shall be entitled to receive a payment in cash out of the Adjustment Escrow Account in an amount equal to such difference; provided, that if such amount exceeds the Adjustment Escrow Amount: (A) Parent shall be entitled to receive the entire Adjustment Escrow Amount; and (B) each Company Stockholder shall severally, but not jointly, pay to Parent an

A-11


Table of Contents

      aggregate amount equal to such Company Stockholder's Pro Rata Share of the amount of such difference; provided, further, that each Stock Consideration Stockholder shall severally, but not jointly, pay its Pro Rata Share of any amount paid to Parent from the Adjustment Escrow Account to the Cash Consideration Stockholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Cash Shares; provided, further, that each Stock Consideration Stockholder shall have the option of making any payment pursuant to this Section 2.11(f)(i) in cash or by transfer of shares of Parent Class A Stock, with a share of Parent Class A Stock valued at $10 per share for such purpose (provided that each Stock Consideration Stockholder shall not be permitted to make any payment pursuant to this Section 2.11(f)(i) by transfer of shares of Parent Class A Stock if the Stockholder Representative determines, in its sole discretion, that transferring such shares could jeopardize the qualification of the Mergers, taken together, as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code); and

               (ii)  if the Final Merger Consideration is greater than the Estimated Merger Consideration: (A) each Company Stockholder shall be entitled receive its Pro Rata Cash Share of the Adjustment Escrow Amount from the Adjustment Escrow Account; and (B) Parent shall cause the Surviving Entity to pay to each Company Stockholder an amount equal to such Company Stockholder's Pro Rata Share of the amount of such difference.

            (g)   Any payment required to be made by: (i) the Company Stockholders pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars to the account of the Surviving Entity designated in writing by Parent at least one Business Day prior to such transfer; and (ii) the Surviving Entity on behalf of Parent pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars to the account(s) designated in writing by the Stockholder Representative at least one Business Day prior to such transfer.

            (h)   Any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Total Consideration by the Parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Applicable Legal Requirements.

            (i)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that sum of: (i) the cash payable under this Agreement to Company Stockholders in respect of Company Common Stock (including the Closing Cash Payment Amount (as the same may be adjusted as provided in this Section 2.11(i)), the Adjustment Escrow Amount and any other consideration (other than Parent Class A Stock, the amount deposited into the HTA Tax Adjustment Amount Escrow (if any) and any amount with respect to the Tax Receivable Agreement) payable in respect of Company Common Stock to Company Stockholders pursuant to the Transaction)), determined at the Closing; plus (ii) the amount listed on Schedule C (amounts in (i) and (ii), collectively, the "Non-Stock Consideration"), would cause the Non-Stock Consideration to exceed 60% of an amount equal to: (A) the product of: (1) the number of shares of Parent Class A Stock to be issued to the Company Stockholders at Closing (as the same may be adjusted as provided in this Section 2.11(i)); multiplied by (2) the Testing Price; plus (B) the Non-Stock Consideration (the sum of clauses (A) and (B), the "Aggregate Consideration"), then: (aa) the number of shares of Parent Class A Stock required to be issued to the Company Stockholders as of the Closing shall be increased; and (bb) the Closing Cash Payment Amount shall be decreased by an amount equal to the Adjustment Per Share Price multiplied by each share of Parent Class A Stock issued pursuant to clause (aa), until the Non-Stock Consideration is equal (rounding up to the next whole share of Parent Class A Stock) to 60% of the Aggregate Consideration. If any Non-Stock Consideration is payable after the Closing Date ("Additional Non-Stock Consideration") (including any cash payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement, but only to the extent in excess of the amount taken account in clause (ii) above), the total Non-Stock Consideration as a percentage of the Aggregate Consideration shall be retested, and if such percentage would exceed 60%, Non-Stock

A-12


Table of Contents

    Consideration shall be reduced, and in lieu thereof additional shares of Parent Class A Stock shall be issued, in each case based on the principles set forth in preceding sentence (it being understood that Parent Class A Stock theretofore issued, including any Earn Out Shares, shall be valued using the Testing Price applicable to such issuance and any transfer of Parent Class A Stock pursuant to Section 2.11(f)(i) shall not be treated as issued for purposes of this calculation). Any shares issued pursuant to this Section 2.11(i) shall be equitably adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combination, exchange of shares or other like change or transaction with respect to Parent Class A Stock occurring after the date hereof.

        2.12    Tax Treatment of the Mergers.     

            (a)   The Parties shall not take or cause to be taken any action, or fail to take or cause to be taken any action, which action or failure to act would reasonably be expected to prevent the Mergers, taken together, from qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

            (b)   For U.S. federal income tax purposes (and for purposes of any applicable state or local Tax that follows the U.S. federal income tax treatment), the Parties will prepare and file all Tax Returns consistent with the treatment of the Mergers, taken together, as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (or comparable provision of state and local Tax law) and will not take any inconsistent position on any Tax Return, or during the course of any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes, except as otherwise required by a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.

        2.13    Withholding Taxes.     Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity, the Exchange Agent and their Affiliates shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement, any amount required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under Applicable Legal Requirements; provided, that if Parent, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates determine that any payment to the Company Stockholders hereunder is subject to deduction and/or withholding, then Parent shall provide notice to the Stockholder Representative as soon as reasonably practicable after such determination. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Any amounts so withheld shall be remitted to the applicable Governmental Entity.

        2.14    Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action.     If, at any time after the Effective Time or the Second Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation following the First Merger and the Surviving Entity following the Second Merger with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub, the officers and directors or members, as applicable, (or their designees) of the Company, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

        3.2    Acceleration Event.     If, during the Earn Out Period, there is a Change of Control that will result in the holders of Parent Class A Stock receiving a per share price equal to or in excess of the applicable Common Share Price required in connection with any Triggering Event (an "Acceleration Event"), then immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control: (a) any such Triggering Event that has not previously occurred shall be deemed to have occurred; and (b) Parent shall issue the applicable Earn Out Shares to the Cash Consideration Stockholders (in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Cash Share), and the recipients of such issued Earn Out Shares shall be eligible to participate in such Change of Control.

        3.3    Tax Treatment of Earn Out Shares.     Any issuance of Earn Out Shares, including any issuance of Earn Out Shares made upon the occurrence of an Acceleration Event pursuant to Section 3.2, shall be treated as an adjustment to the Total Consideration by the Parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Applicable Legal Requirements.

The Company is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which it is conducting its business, or the operation, ownership or leasing of its properties, makes such qualification necessary, other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify or be in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to the Group Companies, taken as a whole.

Each of Parent, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub is in possession of all Approvals necessary to own, lease and operate the properties it purports to own, operate or lease and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, except where the failure to have such Approvals would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to Parent, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub, taken as a whole.

            (a)   Parent has filed all forms, reports, schedules, statements and other documents, including any exhibits thereto, required to be filed or furnished by Parent with the SEC under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act since Parent's incorporation to the date of this Agreement, together with any amendments, restatements or supplements thereto (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date of this Agreement, the "Parent SEC Reports"), and will have filed all such forms, reports, schedules, statements and other documents required to be filed subsequent to the date of this Agreement through the Closing Date (the "Additional Parent SEC Reports").

Parent has heretofore furnished to the Company true and correct copies of all amendments and modifications that have not been filed by Parent with the SEC to all agreements, documents and other instruments that previously had been filed by Parent with the SEC and are currently in effect. The Parent SEC Reports were, and the Additional Parent SEC Reports will be, prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations thereunder. The Parent SEC Reports did not, and the Additional Parent SEC Reports will not, at the time they were or are filed, as the case may be, with the SEC contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Certifications are each true and correct. Parent maintains disclosure controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Each director and executive officer of Parent has filed with the SEC on a timely basis all statements required with respect to Parent by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Parent has no off-balance sheet arrangements that are not disclosed in the Parent SEC Reports. No financial statements other than those of Parent are required by U.S. GAAP to be included in the consolidated financial statements of Parent.

        5.9    Litigation.     There are no Legal Proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened in writing against or otherwise relating to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, before any Governmental Entity: (a) challenging or seeking to enjoining, alter or materially delay the Transactions; or (b) that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to Parent.

        5.10    Business Activities.     Since their respective incorporation, neither Parent, First Merger Sub nor Second Merger Sub has conducted any business activities other than activities: (a) in connection with its organization; or (b) directed toward the accomplishment of a business combination. Except as set forth in the Parent Organizational Documents, there is no Contract or Order binding upon Parent, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub or to which any of them is a party which has or could reasonably be expected to have the effect of prohibiting or materially impairing any business practice of it, any acquisition of property by it or the conduct of business by it as currently conducted or as currently contemplated to be conducted (including, in each case, following the Closing).

        5.11    Parent Material Contracts.     Schedule 5.11 of the Parent Disclosure Letter sets forth a true, correct and complete list of each "material contract" (as such term is defined in Regulation S-K of the SEC) to which Parent, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub is party (the "Parent Material Contracts"), other than any such Parent Material Contract that is listed as an exhibit to Parent's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed for trading on Nasdaq under the symbol "GSHT". The issued and outstanding Parent Warrants are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed for trading on Nasdaq under the symbol "GSHTW".

None of Parent or any of its Affiliates has taken any action in an attempt to terminate the registration of the Parent Units, the Parent Class A Stock or Parent Warrants under the Exchange Act.

        5.13    PIPE Investment Amount.     Exhibit F sets forth true, accurate and complete copies of each of the subscription agreements (the "Subscription Agreements") entered into by Parent with the applicable investors named therein (collectively, the "PIPE Investors"), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors have committed to provide equity financing to Parent in the aggregate amount of $400,000,000 (the "PIPE Investment Amount"). The PIPE Investment Amount, together with the amount in the Trust Account at the Closing, are in the aggregate sufficient to enable Parent to: (a) pay all cash amounts required to be paid by Parent or its Subsidiaries under or in connection with this Agreement; and (b) pay any and all fees and expenses of or payable by Parent with respect to the Transactions. To Parent's Knowledge with respect to each PIPE Investor, the Subscription Agreements are in full force and effect and have not been withdrawn or terminated, or otherwise amended or modified, in any respect, and no withdrawal, termination, amendment or modification is contemplated by Parent. Each Subscription Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent and, to Parent's Knowledge, each PIPE Investor. The Subscription Agreements provide that the Stockholder Representative is a third-party beneficiary thereof and is entitled to enforce such agreements. There are no other agreements, side letters, or arrangements between Parent and any PIPE Investor relating to any Subscription Agreement, that could affect the obligation of the PIPE Investors to contribute to Parent the applicable portion of the PIPE Investment Amount set forth in the Subscription Agreements, and, as of the date hereof, Parent does not know of any facts or circumstances that may reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions set forth in any Subscription Agreement not being satisfied, or the PIPE Investment Amount not being available to Parent, on the Closing Date. No event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of Parent under any material term or condition of any Subscription Agreement and, as of the date hereof, Parent has no reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy in all material respects on a timely basis any term or condition of closing to be satisfied by it contained in any Subscription Agreement. The Subscription Agreements contain all of the conditions precedent (other than the conditions contained in the other Transaction Agreements) to the obligations of the PIPE Investors to contribute to Parent the applicable portion of the PIPE Investment Amount set forth in the Subscription Agreements on the terms therein.

        5.14    Trust Account.     

            (a)   As of June 15, 2018, Parent had $404,270,829.27 in a trust account (the "Trust Account"), maintained and invested pursuant to that certain Investment Management Trust Agreement (the "Trust Agreement") effective as of January 12, 2017, by and between Parent and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation ("Continental") for the benefit of its public stockholders, with such funds invested in United States Government securities or money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act. Other than pursuant to the Trust Agreement and the Subscription Agreements, the obligations of Parent under this Agreement are not subject to any conditions regarding Parent's, its Affiliates', or any other Person's ability to obtain financing for the consummation of the Transactions.

            (b)   The Trust Agreement has not been amended or modified and, to the Knowledge of Parent with respect to Continental, is valid and in full force and effect and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except insofar as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,

A-38


Table of Contents

    insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally or by principles governing the availability of equitable remedies. Parent has complied in all material respects with the terms of the Trust Agreement and is not in breach thereof or default thereunder and there does not exist under the Trust Agreement any event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, would constitute such a breach or default by Parent or, to the Knowledge of Parent, the Trustee. There are no separate Contracts, side letters or other understandings (whether written or unwritten, express or implied): (i) between Parent and Continental that would cause the description of the Trust Agreement in the Parent SEC Reports to be inaccurate in any material respect; or (ii) to the Knowledge of Parent, that would entitle any Person (other than stockholders of Parent holding Parent Class A Stock sold in Parent's initial public offering who shall have elected to redeem their shares of Parent Class A Stock pursuant to Parent's Charter Documents) to any portion of the proceeds in the Trust Account. Prior to the Closing, none of the funds held in the Trust Account may be released except: (A) to pay income and franchise taxes from any interest income earned in the Trust Account; and (B) to redeem Parent Class A Stock in accordance with the provisions of Parent's Charter Documents. There are no Legal Proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened in writing with respect to the Trust Account.

        5.15    Taxes.     

            (a)   All material Tax Returns required to be filed by or on behalf of Parent, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub have been duly and timely filed with the appropriate Governmental Entity and all such Tax Returns are true, correct and complete in all material respects. All material amounts of Taxes payable by or on behalf of Parent, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) have been fully and timely paid.

            (b)   No claim, assessment, deficiency or proposed adjustment for any material amount of Tax has been asserted or assessed by any Governmental Entity in writing (or otherwise to the Knowledge of Parent) against Parent, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub which has not been paid or resolved. No material Tax audit or other examination of Parent, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub by any Governmental Entity is presently in progress, nor has Parent been notified in writing of (nor to the Knowledge of Parent has there been) any request or threat for such an audit or other examination. There are no liens for Taxes (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of the assets of Parent, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub. Neither Parent, First Merger Sub nor Second Merger Sub has: (i) consented to extend the time in which any material amount of Tax may be assessed or collected by any Governmental Entity (other than pursuant to extensions of time to file Tax Returns obtained in the ordinary course of business), which extension is still in effect; or (ii) has entered into or been a party to any "listed transaction" within the meaning of Section 6707A(c)(2) of the Code. Neither Parent, First Merger Sub nor Second Merger Sub has constituted either a "distributing corporation" or a "controlled corporation" (within the meaning of Section 355(a)(1)(A) of the Code) in a distribution of stock intended to qualify for tax-free treatment under Section 355 of the Code in the two years prior to the date of this Agreement. Neither Parent, First Merger Sub nor Second Merger Sub has any liability for the Taxes of another Person (other than the Parent, First Merger Sub or Second Merger Sub) pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Legal Requirements) or as a transferee or a successor or by Contract (other than pursuant to the Transaction Agreements or pursuant to commercial agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business and the principal purpose of which is not related to Taxes).

            (c)   Parent has not taken any action and is not aware of any fact or circumstance that would reasonably be expected to prevent the First Merger and the Second Merger, taken together, from qualifying as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

A-39

            (d)   All of the membership interests in Second Merger Sub are owned by Parent, and Second Merger Sub is, and has been since formation, disregarded as an entity (within the meaning of Section 301.7701-3 of the Treasury Regulations) separate from Parent for United States federal income tax purposes.

        5.16    Information Supplied.     None of the information supplied or to be supplied by Parent for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement will, at the date mailed to stockholders of Parent or at the time of the Special Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent makes no representation, warranty or covenant with respect to: (a) statements made or incorporated by reference therein based on information supplied by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement; or (b) any projections or forecasts included in the Proxy Statement.

        5.17    Employees; Benefit Plans.     Other than any former officers or as described in the Parent SEC Reports, Parent has never had any employees. Other than reimbursement of any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Parent's officers and directors in connection with activities on Parent's behalf in an aggregate amount not in excess of the amount of cash held by Parent outside of the Trust Account, Parent has no unsatisfied material liability with respect to any employee. Parent does not currently maintain or have any direct liability under any benefit plan, and neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements nor the consummation of the Transactions will: (a) result in any payment (including severance, unemployment compensation, golden parachute, bonus or otherwise) becoming due to any director, officer or employee of Parent; or (b) result in the acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such benefits.

        5.18    Board Approval; Stockholder Vote.     The board of directors of Parent (including any required committee or subgroup of the board of directors of Parent) has, as of the date of this Agreement, unanimously: (a) approved and declared the advisability of this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements and the consummation of the Transactions; and (b) determined that the consummation of the Transactions is in the best interest of the stockholders of Parent. Other than the approval of the Parent Stockholder Matters, no other corporate proceedings on the part of Parent are necessary to approve the consummation of the Transactions.

        5.19    Title to Assets.     Subject to the restrictions on use of the Trust Account set forth in the Trust Agreement, Parent owns good and marketable title to, or holds a valid leasehold interest in, or a valid license to use, all of the assets used by Parent in the operation of its business and which are material to Parent, free and clear of any Liens (other than Permitted Liens).

        5.20    Affiliate Transactions.     Except as described in the Parent SEC Reports, no Contract between Parent, on the one hand, and any of the present or former directors, officers, employees, stockholders or warrant holders or Affiliates of Parent (or an immediate family member of any of the foregoing), on the other hand, will continue in effect following the Closing, other than any such Contract that is not material to Parent.

        5.21    Brokers.     Other than fees or commissions for which Parent will be solely responsible, none of Parent, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub, nor any of their respective Affiliates, including Sponsor, has any liability or obligation to pay, or is entitled to receive, any fees or commissions to any broker, finder or agent with respect to the Transactions.

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

        7.1    Proxy Statement; Special Meeting.     

            (a)   Proxy Statement.

                (i)  As promptly as practicable following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent shall, in accordance with this Section 7.1(a), prepare and file with the SEC, in preliminary form, a proxy statement in connection with the Transactions (as amended or supplemented, the "Proxy Statement") to be sent to the stockholders of Parent relating to the Special Meeting, for the purpose of, among other things: (A) providing Parent's stockholders with the opportunity to redeem shares of Parent Class A Stock (the "Parent Stockholder Redemption"); and (B) soliciting proxies from holders of Parent Class A Stock to vote at the Special Meeting in favor of: (1) the adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Transactions; (2) the issuance of shares of Parent Class A Stock in connection with Section 2.6; (3) the amendment and restatement of the Parent Organizational Documents in the form of the Parent A&R Charter attached hereto as Exhibit A; and (4) any other proposals the Parties deem necessary or desirable to consummate the Transactions (collectively, the "Parent Stockholder Matters"). Without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative and the Company (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Parent Stockholder Matters shall be the only matters (other than procedural matters) which Parent shall propose to be acted on by the Parent's stockholders at the Special Meeting. The Proxy Statement will comply as to form and substance with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. Parent shall file the definitive Proxy Statement with the SEC and cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to its stockholders of record, as of the record date to be established by the board of directors of Parent, as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than five Business Days except as otherwise required by Applicable Legal Requirements) following the earlier to occur of: (Y) in the event the preliminary Proxy Statement is not reviewed by the SEC, the expiration of the waiting period in Rule 14a-6(a) under the Exchange Act; or (Z) in the event the preliminary Proxy Statement is reviewed by the SEC, receipt of oral or written notification of the completion of the review by the SEC (such earlier date, the "Proxy Clearance Date").

               (ii)  Prior to filing with the SEC, Parent will make available to the Company drafts of the Proxy Statement and any other documents to be filed with the SEC, both preliminary and final, and any amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or such other document and will provide the Company with a reasonable opportunity to comment on such drafts and shall consider such comments in good faith. Parent shall not file any such documents with the SEC without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Parent will advise the Company promptly after it receives notice thereof, of: (A) the time when the Proxy Statement has been filed; (B) in the event the preliminary Proxy Statement is not reviewed by the SEC, the expiration of the waiting period in Rule 14a-6(a) under the Exchange Act; (C) in the event the preliminary Proxy Statement is reviewed by the SEC, receipt of oral or written notification of the completion of the review by the SEC; (D) the filing of any supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement; (E) the issuance of any stop order by the SEC; (F) any request by the SEC for amendment of the Proxy Statement; (G) any comments from the SEC relating to the Proxy Statement and responses thereto; and (H) requests by the SEC for additional information. Parent shall promptly respond to any SEC comments on the Proxy Statement and shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Proxy Statement cleared by the SEC under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable; provided, that prior to responding to any requests or comments from

A-46


Table of Contents

      the SEC, Parent will make available to the Company drafts of any such response and provide the Company with a reasonable opportunity to comment on such drafts.

              (iii)  If, at any time prior to the Special Meeting, there shall be discovered any information that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement so that the Proxy Statement would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, Parent shall promptly file an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement containing such information. If, at any time prior to the Closing, the Company discovers any information, event or circumstance relating to the Company, its business or any of its Affiliates, officers, directors or employees that should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Proxy Statement so that the Proxy Statement would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, then Company shall promptly inform Parent of such information, event or circumstance.

              (iv)  Parent shall make all necessary filings with respect to the Transactions under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and applicable "blue sky" laws, and any rules and regulations thereunder. The Company agrees to promptly provide Parent with all information concerning the business, management, operations and financial condition of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, in each case, reasonably requested by Parent for inclusion in the Proxy Statement. The Company shall cause the officers and employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to be reasonably available to Parent and its counsel in connection with the drafting of the Proxy Statement and responding in a timely manner to comments on the Proxy Statement from the SEC.

            (b)   Parent shall, as promptly as practicable following the Proxy Clearance Date, establish a record date (which date shall be mutually agreed with the Stockholder Representative) for, duly call and give notice of, the Special Meeting. Parent shall convene and hold a meeting of Parent's stockholders (the "Special Meeting"), for the purpose of obtaining the approval of the Parent Stockholder Matters, which meeting shall be held not more than 45 days after the date on which Parent mails the Proxy Statement to its stockholders. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the approval of the Parent Stockholder Matters at the Special Meeting, including by soliciting proxies as promptly as practicable in accordance with Applicable Legal Requirements for the purpose of seeking the approval of the Parent Stockholder Matters. Subject to the proviso in the following sentence, Parent shall include the Parent Recommendation in the Proxy Statement. The board of directors of Parent shall not (and no committee or subgroup thereof shall) change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, or publicly propose to change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, the Parent Recommendation (a "Change in Recommendation"); provided, that the board of directors may make a Change in Recommendation if it determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that a failure to make a Change in Recommendation would reasonably be expected to constitute a breach by the board of directors of its fiduciary obligations to Parent's stockholders under Applicable Legal Requirements. Parent agrees that its obligation to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Special Meeting for the purpose of seeking approval of the Parent Stockholder Matters shall not be affected by any Change in Recommendation, and Parent agrees to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Special Meeting and submit for the approval of its stockholders the matters contemplated by the Proxy Statement as contemplated by this Section 7.1(b), regardless of whether or not there shall have occurred any Change in Recommendation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Parent shall be entitled to postpone or adjourn the Special Meeting: (i) to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the Proxy

    Statement that the board of directors of Parent has determined in good faith is required by Applicable Legal Requirements is disclosed to Parent's stockholders and for such supplement or amendment to be promptly disseminated to Parent's stockholders prior to the Special Meeting; (ii) if, as of the time for which the Special Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement), there are insufficient shares of Parent Class A Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business to be conducted at the Special Meeting; or (iii) in order to solicit additional proxies from stockholders for purposes of obtaining approval of the Parent Stockholder Matters; provided, that in the event of a postponement or adjournment pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Special Meeting shall be reconvened as promptly as practicable following such time as the matters described in such clauses have been resolved.

            (c)    Company Stockholder Approval.    The Company shall solicit the Company Stockholder Approval via the Stockholder Consent and Joinder. In connection therewith, as promptly as practicable, the board of directors of the Company shall set a record date for determining the stockholders required to execute such Stockholder Consent and Joinder. The Company shall, through its board of directors, recommend to its stockholders that they provide the Company Stockholder Approval and execute the Stockholder Consent and Joinder. The Company will provide Parent with a copy of the executed Stockholder Consent and Joinder.

        7.2    HSR Act.     As promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement and in any event within 10 Business Days, Parent and the Company shall each prepare and file the notification required of it under the HSR Act in connection with the Transactions and shall promptly and in good faith respond to all information requested of it by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and U.S. Department of Justice in connection with such notification and otherwise cooperate in good faith with each other and such Governmental Entities. Each Party will promptly furnish to the other such information and assistance as the other may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission that is necessary under the HSR Act and will take all other actions necessary or desirable to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods as soon as practicable. Each Party will promptly provide the other with copies of all written communications (and memoranda setting forth the substance of all oral communications) between each of them, any of their Affiliates and their respective agents, representatives and advisors, on the one hand, and any Governmental Entity, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent and the Company shall: (a) promptly inform the other of any communication to or from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, the U.S. Department of Justice or any other Governmental Entity regarding the Transactions; (b) permit each other to review in advance any proposed written communication to any such Governmental Entity and incorporate reasonable comments thereto; (c) give the other prompt written notice of the commencement of any Legal Proceeding with respect to such transactions; (d) not agree to participate in any substantive meeting or discussion with any such Governmental Entity in respect of any filing, investigation or inquiry concerning this Agreement or the Transactions unless, to the extent reasonably practicable, it consults with the other Party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, gives the other Party the opportunity to attend; (e) keep the other reasonably informed as to the status of any such Legal Proceeding; and (f) promptly furnish each other with copies of all correspondence, filings (except for filings made under the HSR Act) and written communications between such Party and their Affiliates and their respective agents, representatives and advisors, on one hand, and any such Governmental Entity, on the other hand, in each case, with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions. Parent, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall each pay 50% of any filing fees required by Governmental Entities, including with respect to any registrations, declarations and filings required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of the obligations hereunder and the consummation of the Transactions, including filing fees in connection with filings under the HSR Act.

ARTICLE XI

GENERAL PROVISIONS

        11.1    Stockholder Representative.     

            (a)   The Stockholder Representative shall act as the representative of the Company Stockholders in respect of all matters arising under this Agreement or the Transaction Agreements, and shall be authorized to act, or refrain from acting, with respect to any actions to be taken by or on behalf of any Company Stockholder or the Stockholder Representative, including to enforce any rights granted to any Company Stockholder hereunder, in each case as the Stockholder Representative believes is necessary or appropriate under this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements, for and on behalf of the Company Stockholders. The Company Stockholders shall be bound by all such actions taken by the Stockholder Representative and no Company Stockholder shall be permitted to take any such actions. The Stockholder Representative is serving as the Stockholder Representative solely for purposes of administrative convenience, and is not personally liable (except in its capacity as a Company Stockholder hereunder) for any of the obligations of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of Company Stockholders hereunder, and Parent (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) agrees that it will not look to the Stockholder Representative or the underlying assets of the Stockholder Representative for the satisfaction of any obligations of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Company Stockholders. The Stockholder Representative shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken, in connection with the performance by the Stockholder Representative of the Stockholder Representative's duties or the exercise by the Stockholder Representative of the Stockholder Representative's rights and remedies under this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement, except in the case of its bad faith or willful misconduct. No bond shall be required of the Stockholder Representative. The Stockholder Representative may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. The Stockholder Representative shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Stockholder Representative shall have the full power and authority to interpret all the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements, and to consent to any amendment hereof or thereof on behalf of all Company Stockholders and their respective successors. Parent shall be entitled to rely on all statements, representations, decisions of, and actions taken or omitted to be taken by, the Stockholder Representative relating to this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement.

            (b)   The Company Stockholders will indemnify and hold harmless the Stockholder Representative from and against any and all Losses arising out of or in connection with the Stockholder Representative's execution and performance of this Agreement and the Transaction Agreement, in each case as such Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Loss is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Stockholder Representative, the Stockholder Representative will reimburse the Company Stockholders the amount of such indemnified Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event will the Stockholder Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Company Stockholders or otherwise. The Company Stockholders acknowledge and agree that the foregoing indemnities will survive the resignation or removal of the Stockholder Representative or the termination of this Agreement.

            (c)   The Stockholder Representative may resign at any time by giving 30 days' notice to Parent and the Company Stockholders; provided, however, in the event of the resignation or

A-65


Table of Contents

were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that each Party shall be entitled to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction and immediate injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy and without bond or other security being required, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that it may be difficult to prove damages with reasonable certainty, that it may be difficult to procure suitable substitute performance, and that injunctive relief and/or specific performance will not cause an undue hardship to the Parties. Each of the Parties hereby further acknowledges that the existence of any other remedy contemplated by this Agreement does not diminish the availability of specific performance of the obligations hereunder or any other injunctive relief. Each Party hereby further agrees that in the event of any action by any other party for specific performance or injunctive relief, it will not assert that a remedy at law or other remedy would be adequate or that specific performance or injunctive relief in respect of such breach or violation should not be available on the grounds that money damages are adequate or any other grounds. Parent acknowledges and agrees that the Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to bring an action for specific enforcement to cause Parent to seek to enforce the provisions of the Subscription Agreements to the fullest extent permissible pursuant to such Subscription Agreements as if it were a party thereto.

        11.8    Governing Law.     This Agreement and the consummation the Transactions, and any action, suit, dispute, controversy or claim arising out of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions, or the validity, interpretation, breach or termination of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal law of the State of Delaware regardless of the law that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law thereof.

        11.9    Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

Each Party and any Person asserting rights as a third-party beneficiary hereby agrees not to commence or prosecute any such action, claim, cause of action or suit other than before one of the above-named courts, nor to make any motion or take any other action seeking or intending to cause the transfer or removal of any such action, claim, cause of action or suit to any court other than one of the above-named courts, whether on the grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise. Each Party hereby consents to service of process in any such proceeding in any manner permitted by Delaware law, and further consents to service of process by nationally recognized overnight courier service guaranteeing overnight delivery, or by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified pursuant to Section 11.2.

Subject to the first sentence of this Section 11.12, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

        11.13    Amendment.     This Agreement may be amended by the Parties at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Parties.

        11.14    Extension; Waiver.     At any time prior to the Closing, Parent (on behalf of itself, First Merger Sub and Second Merger Sub), on the one hand, and the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of itself, the Company and the Company Stockholders) may, to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Legal Requirements: (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Party; (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to the other Party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto; and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such Party contained herein.

            1.     The name of the Corporation is "Gores Holdings II, Inc.". The original certificate of incorporation of the Corporation was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on August 15, 2016 (the "Original Certificate"). The Corporation filed an amended and restated certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on January 12, 2017 (the "First Amended and Restated Certificate").

            2.     This Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (this "Second Amended and Restated Certificate") was duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the "Board") and the stockholders of the Corporation in accordance with Sections 228, 242 and 245 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (as amended from time to time, the "DGCL").

            3.     This Second Amended and Restated Certificate restates, integrates and amends the provisions of the First Amended and Restated Certificate. Certain capitalized terms used in this Second Amended and Restated Certificate are defined where appropriate herein.

ARTICLE IV

CAPITALIZATION

        Section 4.1    Authorized Capital Stock.     Subject to Section 4.2, the total number of shares of all classes of capital stock, each with a par value of $0.0001 per share, which the Corporation is authorized to issue is 261,000,000 shares, consisting of (a) 260,000,000 shares of common stock (the "Common Stock"), including (i) 250,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the "Class A Common Stock"), and (ii) 10,000,000 shares of Class F Common Stock (the "Class F Common Stock"); and (b) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock (the "Preferred Stock").

        Section 4.2    Class F Common Stock.     Following the filing of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and immediately prior to the Corporation's consummation of any business combination, each share of Class F Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the filing of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate shall automatically be converted into one share of Class A Common Stock without any action on the part of any person, including the Corporation, and concurrently with such conversion, the number of authorized shares of Class F Common Stock shall be reduced to zero. It is intended that the conversion of Class F Common Stock into Class A Common Stock will be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

        Section 4.3    Preferred Stock.     The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board is hereby expressly authorized to provide for the issuance of shares of the Preferred Stock in one or more series and to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series and to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional, special and other rights, if any, of each such series and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, as shall be stated in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board providing for the issuance of such series and included in a certificate of designation (a "Preferred Stock Designation") filed pursuant to the DGCL, and the Board is hereby expressly vested with the authority to the full extent provided by law, now or hereafter, to adopt any such resolution or resolutions.

        Section 4.4    Common Stock.     

            (a)   Except as otherwise required by law or this Second Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation), the holders of the Common Stock shall exclusively possess all voting power with respect to the Corporation. The holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each such share on each matter properly submitted to the stockholders on which the holders of the Common Stock are entitled to vote. The holders of shares of Class A Common Stock shall at all times vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation.

            (b)   Except as otherwise required by law or this Second Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation), at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, the holders of the Common Stock shall have the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors and on all other matters properly submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise required by law or this Second Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation), the holders of the Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Second Amended and Restated Certificate (including any amendment to any Preferred Stock Designation) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of the Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Second Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation) or the DGCL.

            (c)   Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of the Preferred Stock, the holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions (payable in cash, property or capital stock of the Corporation) when, as and if declared thereon by the Board from time to time out of any assets or funds of the Corporation legally available therefor, and shall share equally on a per share basis in such dividends and distributions.

            (d)   Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of the Preferred Stock, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Corporation, the holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive all the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, ratably in proportion to the number of shares of the Common Stock held by them.

        Section 4.5    Rights and Options.     The Corporation has the authority to create and issue rights, warrants and options entitling the holders thereof to purchase shares of any class or series of the Corporation's capital stock or other securities of the Corporation, and such rights, warrants and options shall be evidenced by instrument(s) approved by the Board. The Board is empowered to set the exercise price, duration, times for exercise and other terms and conditions of such rights, warrants or options; provided, however, that the consideration to be received for any shares of capital stock subject thereto may not be less than the par value thereof.

        Section 4.6    No Class Vote on Changes in Authorized Number of Shares of Stock.     Subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, the number of authorized shares of any class or classes of stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the voting power of the stock entitled to vote thereon irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL.


ARTICLE V

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

        Section 5.1    Board Powers.     The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by, or under the direction of, the Board. In addition to the powers and authority expressly conferred upon the Board by statute, this Second Amended and Restated Certificate or the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Corporation ("Bylaws"), the Board is hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation, subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the DGCL and this Second Amended and Restated Certificate.

        Section 5.2    Number, Election and Term.     

            (a)   The number of directors of the Corporation shall be fixed from time to time exclusively by the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Board.

The term of the initial Class I Directors shall expire at the first annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation following the effectiveness of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate; the term of the initial Class II Directors shall expire at the second annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation following the effectiveness of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate; and the term of the initial Class III Directors shall expire at the third annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation following the effectiveness of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate. At each succeeding annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, beginning with the first annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation following the effectiveness of

C-3


Table of Contents

    this Second Amended and Restated Certificate, successors to the class of directors whose term expires at that annual meeting shall be elected for a three-year term. Subject to Section 5.5 hereof, if the number of directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned by the Board among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, but in no case shall a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director. Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at an annual meeting of stockholders by holders of the Common Stock.

            (c)   Subject to Section 5.5 hereof, a director shall hold office until the annual meeting for the year in which his or her term expires and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified, subject, however, to such director's earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

            (d)   Unless and except to the extent that the Bylaws shall so require, the election of directors need not be by written ballot.

        Section 5.3    Newly Created Directorships and Vacancies.     Subject to Section 5.5 hereof, newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on the Board resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal or other cause shall be filled solely by a majority vote of the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director (and not by stockholders), and any director so chosen shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors to which the new directorship was added or in which the vacancy occurred and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified, subject, however, to such director's earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

        Section 5.4    Removal.     Subject to Section 5.5 hereof, any or all of the directors may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

        Section 5.5    Preferred Stock—Directors.     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article V, and except as otherwise required by law, whenever the holders of one or more series of the Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately by class or series, to elect one or more directors, the term of office, the filling of vacancies, the removal from office and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of such series of the Preferred Stock as set forth in this Second Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation) and such directors shall not be included in any of the classes created pursuant to this Article V unless expressly provided by such terms.


ARTICLE VI

BYLAWS

        In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred upon it by law, the Board shall have the power to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws. The affirmative vote of a majority of the Board shall be required to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws. The Bylaws also may be adopted, amended, altered or repealed by the stockholders; provided, however, that in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation required by law or by this Second Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation), the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required for the stockholders to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws; and provided further, however, that no Bylaws hereafter adopted by the stockholders shall invalidate any prior act of the Board that would have been valid if such Bylaws had not been adopted.

ARTICLE VII

MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS; ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT

        Section 7.1    Meetings.     Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of the Preferred Stock, and to the requirements of applicable law, special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation may be called only by the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, or the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Board, and the ability of the stockholders to call a special meeting is hereby specifically denied.

        Section 7.2    Advance Notice.     Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the election of directors and of business to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be given in the manner provided in the Bylaws.

LIMITED LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION

Any amendment, modification or repeal of the foregoing sentence shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation hereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment, modification or repeal.

        Section 8.2    Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses.     

            (a)   To the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, the Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless each person who is or was made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including an action by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor (each, a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (an "indemnitee"), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes, damages, claims and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such indemnitee in connection with such proceeding. The Corporation shall to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law pay the expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an indemnitee in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, to the extent required by applicable law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 8.2 or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred by this Section 8.2 shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has

C-5


Table of Contents

    ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.2(a), except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses, the Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to an indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.

            (b)   The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred on any indemnitee by this Section 8.2 shall not be exclusive of any other rights that any indemnitee may have or hereafter acquire under law, this Second Amended and Restated Certificate, the Bylaws, an agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

            (c)   Any repeal or amendment of this Section 8.2 by the stockholders of the Corporation or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provision of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate inconsistent with this Section 8.2, shall, unless otherwise required by law, be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto), and shall not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision in respect of any proceeding (regardless of when such proceeding is first threatened, commenced or completed) arising out of, or related to, any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.

            (d)   This Section 8.2 shall not limit the right of the Corporation, to the extent and in the manner authorized or permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than indemnitees.


ARTICLE IX

CORPORATE OPPORTUNITY

            (a)   The doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any other analogous doctrine, shall not apply with respect to the Corporation or any of its officers or directors in circumstances where the application of any such doctrine to a corporate opportunity would conflict with any fiduciary duties or contractual obligations they may have as of the date of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate or in the future. In addition to the foregoing, the doctrine of corporate opportunity shall not apply to any other corporate opportunity with respect to any of the directors or officers of the Corporation unless such corporate opportunity is offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation and such opportunity is one the Corporation is legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for the Corporation to pursue.

            (b)   Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable law, each of Platinum Equity, LLC and the investment funds affiliated with or managed by Platinum Equity, LLC and their respective successors and Affiliates (as defined in Article 10.3) (other than the Corporation and its subsidiaries) and all of their respective partners, principals, directors, officers, members, managers, equity holders and/or employees, including any of the foregoing who serve as officers or directors of the Corporation (each, an "Exempted Person") shall not have any fiduciary duty to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, except as otherwise expressly provided in any agreement entered into between the Company and such Exempted Person. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Corporation, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, renounces any interest or expectancy of the Corporation and its subsidiaries in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, business opportunities that are from time to time

C-6


Table of Contents

    available to the Exempted Persons, even if the opportunity is one that the Corporation or its subsidiaries might reasonably be deemed to have pursued or had the ability or desire to pursue if granted the opportunity to do so, and each such Exempted Person shall have no duty to communicate or offer such business opportunity to the Corporation (and there shall be no restriction on the Exempted Persons using the general knowledge and understanding of the industry in which the Corporation operates which it has gained as an Exempted Person in considering and pursuing such opportunities or in making investment, voting, monitoring, governance or other decisions relating to other entities or securities) and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall not be liable to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or stockholders for breach of any fiduciary or other duty, as a director or officer or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such Exempted Person pursues or acquires such business opportunity, directs such business opportunity to another person or fails to present such business opportunity, or information regarding such business opportunity, to the Corporation or its subsidiaries, or uses such knowledge and understanding in the manner described herein, in each case, except as otherwise expressly provided in any agreement entered into between the Company and such Exempted Person. In addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing, a corporate opportunity shall not be deemed to belong to the Corporation if it is a business opportunity that the Corporation is not financially able or contractually permitted or legally able to undertake, or that is, from its nature, not in the line of the Corporation's business or is of no practical advantage to it or that is one in which the Corporation has no interest or reasonable expectancy. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any shares of stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of the provisions of this Article IX.

            (c)   Neither the alteration, amendment, addition to or repeal of this Article IX, nor the adoption of any provision of this Second Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation) inconsistent with this Article IX, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article IX in respect of any business opportunity first identified or any other matter occurring, or any cause of action, suit or claim that, but for this Article IX, would accrue or arise, prior to such alteration, amendment, addition, repeal or adoption. This Article IX shall not limit any protections or defenses available to, or indemnification or advancement rights of, any director or officer of the Corporation under this Second Amended and Restated Certificate, the Bylaws or applicable law.


ARTICLE X

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

        Section 10.1    Opt Out of DGCL 203.     The Corporation shall not be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL.

        Section 10.2    Limitations on Business Combinations.     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall not engage in any business combination, at any point in time at which the Common Stock is registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with any interested stockholder for a period of three (3) years following the time that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:

            (a)   prior to such time, the Board approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; or

            (b)   upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the Corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned by: (i) persons who are directors and also officers; or

    (ii) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

            (c)   at or subsequent to such time, the business combination is approved by the Board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least two thirds of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

        Section 10.3    Definitions.     For purposes of this Article X, the term:

            (a)   "Affiliate" means, with respect to any person, any other person that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such person.

            (c)   "business combination," when used in reference to the Corporation and any interested stockholder of the Corporation, means:

               (ii)  any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition (in one transaction or a series of transactions), except proportionately as a stockholder of the Corporation, to or with the interested stockholder, whether as part of a dissolution or otherwise, of assets of the Corporation or of any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation which assets have an aggregate market value equal to 10% or more of either the aggregate market value of all the assets of the Corporation determined on a consolidated basis or the aggregate market value of all the outstanding stock of the Corporation;

              (iii)  any transaction which results in the issuance or transfer by the Corporation or by any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation of any stock of the Corporation or of such subsidiary to the interested stockholder, except: (A) pursuant to the exercise, exchange or conversion of securities exercisable for, exchangeable for or convertible into stock of the Corporation or any such subsidiary which securities were outstanding prior to the time that the interested stockholder became such; (B) pursuant to a merger under Section 251(g) of the DGCL; (C) pursuant to a dividend or distribution paid or made, or the exercise, exchange or conversion of securities exercisable for, exchangeable for or convertible into stock of the Corporation or any such subsidiary which security is distributed, pro rata to all holders of a class or series of stock of the Corporation subsequent to the time the interested stockholder became such; (D) pursuant to an exchange offer by the Corporation to purchase stock made on the same terms to all holders of said stock; or (E) any issuance or transfer of stock by the Corporation; provided, however, that in no case under items (C) — (E) of this subsection (iii) shall there be an increase in the interested stockholder's proportionate

              (iv)  any transaction involving the Corporation or any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation which has the effect, directly or indirectly, of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series, or securities convertible into the stock of any class or series, of the Corporation or of any such subsidiary which is owned by the interested stockholder, except as a result of immaterial changes due to fractional share adjustments or as a result of any purchase or redemption of any shares of stock not caused, directly or indirectly, by the interested stockholder; or

A person who is the owner of 20% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation, partnership, unincorporated association or other entity shall be presumed to have control of such entity, in the absence of proof by a preponderance of the evidence to the contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a presumption of control shall not apply where such person holds voting stock, in good faith and not for the purpose of circumventing this Article X, as an agent, bank, broker, nominee, custodian or trustee for one or more owners who do not individually or as a group have control of such entity.

            (e)   "interested stockholder" means any person (other than the Corporation or any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Corporation) that: (i) is the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation; or (ii) is an Affiliate or associate of the Corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation at any time within the three (3) year period immediately prior to the date on which it is sought to be determined whether such person is an interested stockholder; or (iii) an Affiliate or associate of any such person described in clauses (i) and (ii); provided, however, that the term "interested stockholder" shall not include: (A) the Sponsor Holders or their transferees; or (B) any person whose ownership of shares in excess of the 15% limitation set forth herein is the result of any action taken solely by the Corporation; provided, that such person specified in this clause (B) shall be an interested stockholder if thereafter such person acquires additional shares of voting stock of the Corporation, except as a result of further corporate action not caused, directly or indirectly, by such person. For the purpose of determining whether a person is an interested stockholder, the voting stock of the Corporation deemed to be outstanding shall include stock deemed to be owned by the person through application of the definition of "owner" below but shall not include any other unissued stock of the Corporation which may be issuable pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding, or upon exercise of conversion rights, warrants or options, or otherwise.

            (f)    "owner," including the terms "own" and "owned," when used with respect to any stock, means a person that individually or with or through any of its Affiliates or associates:

              (iii)  has any agreement, arrangement or understanding for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting (except voting pursuant to a revocable proxy or consent as described in item (B) of subsection (ii) above), or disposing of such stock with any other person that beneficially owns, or whose Affiliates or associates beneficially own, directly or indirectly, such stock.

ARTICLE II

STOCKHOLDERS MEETINGS

        Section 2.1.    Annual Meetings.     The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held at such place and time and on such date as shall be determined by the Board and stated in the notice of the meeting, provided that the Board may in its sole discretion determine that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication pursuant to Section 9.5(a) . At each annual meeting, the stockholders shall elect those directors of the Corporation to fill any term of a directorship that expires on the date of such annual meeting and may transact any other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.

        Section 2.2.    Special Meetings.     Subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of the Preferred Stock, and to the requirements of applicable law, special meetings of stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, may be called only by the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, or the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Board. Special meetings of stockholders shall be held at such place and time and on such date as shall be determined by the Board and stated in the Corporation's notice of the meeting, provided that the Board may in its sole discretion determine that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication pursuant to Section 9.5(a).

        Section 2.3.    Notices.     Notice of each stockholders meeting stating the place, if any, date, and time of the meeting, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, shall be given in the manner permitted by Section 9.3 to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat by the Corporation not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting. If said notice is for a stockholders meeting other than an annual meeting, it shall in addition state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, and the business transacted at such meeting shall be limited to the matters so stated in the Corporation's notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto). Any meeting of stockholders as to which notice has been given may be postponed, and any special meeting of stockholders as to which notice has been given may be cancelled, by the Board upon public announcement (as defined in Section 2.7(c)) given before the date previously scheduled for such meeting.

D-1


Table of Contents

a stockholders meeting of the holders of shares of outstanding capital stock of the Corporation representing a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at such meeting, except that when specified business is to be voted on by a class or series of stock voting as a class, the holders of shares representing a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of such class or series shall constitute a quorum of such class or series for the transaction of such business. If a quorum shall not be present or represented by proxy at any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, the chairman of the meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner provided in Section 2.6 until a quorum shall attend. The stockholders present at a duly convened meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Shares of its own stock belonging to the Corporation or to another corporation, if a majority of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the Corporation or any such other corporation to vote shares held by it in a fiduciary capacity.

        Section 2.5.    Voting of Shares.     

        (a)    Voting Lists.     The Secretary shall prepare, or shall cause the officer or agent who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation to prepare, at least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders of record entitled to vote at such meeting and showing the address and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Nothing contained in this Section 2.5(a) shall require the Corporation to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting: (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting; or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If a meeting of stockholders is to be held solely by means of remote communication as permitted by Section 9.5(a), the list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of meeting. The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list required by this Section 2.5(a) or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

        (b)    Manner of Voting.     At any stockholders meeting, every stockholder entitled to vote may vote in person or by proxy. If authorized by the Board, the voting by stockholders or proxy holders at any meeting conducted by remote communication may be effected by a ballot submitted by electronic transmission (as defined in Section 9.3), provided that any such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which the Corporation can determine that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder or proxy holder. The Board, in its discretion, or the chairman of the meeting of stockholders, in such person's discretion, may require that any votes cast at such meeting shall be cast by written ballot.

        (c)    Proxies.     Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Proxies need not be filed with the

D-2


Table of Contents

Secretary of the Corporation until the meeting is called to order, but shall be filed with the Secretary before being voted. Without limiting the manner in which a stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy, either of the following shall constitute a valid means by which a stockholder may grant such authority.

              (i)  A stockholder may execute a writing authorizing another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy. Execution may be accomplished by the stockholder or such stockholder's authorized officer, director, employee or agent signing such writing or causing such person's signature to be affixed to such writing by any reasonable means, including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature.

             (ii)  A stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of an electronic transmission to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or like agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive such transmission, provided that any such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission authorizing another person or persons to act as proxy for a stockholder may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used; provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.

        (d)    Required Vote.     Subject to the rights of the holders of one or more series of preferred stock of the Corporation ("Preferred Stock"), voting separately by class or series, to elect directors pursuant to the terms of one or more series of Preferred Stock, the election of directors shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon. All other matters shall be determined by the vote of a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon, unless the matter is one upon which, by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws or applicable stock exchange rules, a different vote is required, in which case such provision shall govern and control the decision of such matter.

        (e)    Inspectors of Election.     The Board may, and shall if required by law, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more persons as inspectors of election, who may be employees of the Corporation or otherwise serve the Corporation in other capacities, to act at such meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof and to make a written report thereof. The Board may appoint one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspectors of election or alternates are appointed by the Board, the chairman of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before discharging his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspectors shall ascertain and report the number of outstanding shares and the voting power of each; determine the number of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots; count all votes and ballots and report the results; determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors; and certify their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and their count of all votes and ballots. No person who is a candidate for an office at an election may serve as an inspector at such election. Each report of an inspector shall be in writing and signed by the inspector or by a majority of them if there is more than one inspector acting at such meeting. If there is more than one inspector, the report of a majority shall be the report of the inspectors.

        Section 2.6.    Adjournments.     Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may be adjourned by the chairman of the meeting, from time to time, whether or not there is a quorum, to reconvene at the same or some other place. Notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the date, time, and place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the stockholders or the holders of any class or series of stock entitled to vote separately as a class, as the case may be, may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

        Section 2.7.    Advance Notice for Business.     

        (a)    Annual Meetings of Stockholders.     No business may be transacted at an annual meeting of stockholders, other than business that is either: (i) specified in the Corporation's notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board; (ii) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by or at the direction of the Board; or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the annual meeting by any stockholder of the Corporation: (A) who is a stockholder of record on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 2.7(a) and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such annual meeting; and (B) who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.7(a). Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.7(a) to the contrary, only persons nominated for election as a director to fill any term of a directorship that expires on the date of the annual meeting pursuant to Section 3.2 will be considered for election at such meeting.

              (i)  In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business (other than nominations) to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, such stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Secretary of the Corporation and such business must otherwise be a proper matter for stockholder action. Subject to Section 2.7(a)(iii) , a stockholder's notice to the Secretary with respect to such business, to be timely, must be received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the opening of business on the 120th day before the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within 45 days before or after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not earlier than the opening of business on the 120th day before the meeting and not later than the later of: (A) the close of business on the 90th day before the meeting; or (B) the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the annual meeting is first made by the Corporation. The public announcement of an adjournment of an annual meeting shall not commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder's notice as described in this Section 2.7(a).

             (ii)  To be in proper written form, a stockholder's notice to the Secretary with respect to any business (other than nominations) must set forth as to each such matter such stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting: (A) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting, the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration and in the event such business includes a proposal to amend these Bylaws, the language of the proposed amendment) and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting; (B) the name and record address of such stockholder and the name and address of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; (C) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation that are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and by the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the

D-4


Table of Contents

    proposal is made; (D) a description of all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such stockholder; (E) any material interest of such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made in such business; and (F) a representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to bring such business before the meeting.

            (iii)  The foregoing notice requirements of this Section 2.7(a) shall be deemed satisfied by a stockholder as to any proposal (other than nominations) if the stockholder has notified the Corporation of such stockholder's intention to present such proposal at an annual meeting in compliance with Rule 14a-8 (or any successor thereof) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and such stockholder has complied with the requirements of such Rule for inclusion of such proposal in a proxy statement prepared by the Corporation to solicit proxies for such annual meeting. No business shall be conducted at the annual meeting of stockholders except business brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.7(a), provided, however, that once business has been properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with such procedures, nothing in this Section 2.7(a) shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any stockholder of any such business. If the Board or the chairman of the annual meeting determines that any stockholder proposal was not made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.7(a) or that the information provided in a stockholder's notice does not satisfy the information requirements of this Section 2.7(a), such proposal shall not be presented for action at the annual meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7(a), if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to present the proposed business, such proposed business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such matter may have been received by the Corporation.

            (iv)  In addition to the provisions of this Section 2.7(a), a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth herein. Nothing in this Section 2.7(a) shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation's proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

        (b)    Special Meetings of Stockholders.     Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation's notice of meeting only pursuant to Section 3.2.

        (c)    Public Announcement.     For purposes of these Bylaws, "public announcement" shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

        Section 2.8.    Conduct of Meetings.     The chairman of each annual and special meeting of stockholders shall be the Chairman of the Board or, in the absence (or inability or refusal to act) of the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer (if he or she shall be a director) or, in the absence (or inability or refusal to act) of the Chief Executive Officer or if the Chief Executive Officer is not a director, the President (if he or she shall be a director) or, in the absence (or inability or refusal to act) of the President or if the President is not a director, such other person as shall be appointed by the Board.

Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board or prescribed by the chairman of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (a) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (b) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (c) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the chairman of the meeting shall determine; (d) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (e) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board or the chairman of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure. The secretary of each annual and special meeting of stockholders shall be the Secretary or, in the absence (or inability or refusal to act) of the Secretary, an Assistant Secretary so appointed to act by the chairman of the meeting. In the absence (or inability or refusal to act) of the Secretary and all Assistant Secretaries, the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

Such notice must be accompanied by a written consent of each proposed nominee to being named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected.

        (e)   If the Board or the chairman of the meeting of stockholders determines that any nomination was not made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.2, then such nomination shall not be considered at the meeting in question. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.2, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to present the nomination, such nomination shall be disregarded, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such nomination may have been received by the Corporation.

            (b)   A restriction imposed by the Corporation on the transfer or the registration of shares of the Corporation or on the amount of shares of the Corporation that may be owned by any person or group of persons, even if otherwise lawful, is ineffective against a person without actual knowledge of such restriction unless: (i) the shares are certificated and such restriction is noted conspicuously on the certificate; or (ii) the shares are uncertificated and such restriction was contained in a notice, offering circular or prospectus sent by the Corporation to the registered owner of such shares prior to or within a reasonable time after the issuance or transfer of such shares.

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION

Table of Contents

partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an "Indemnitee"), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with such proceeding; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 8.3 with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify an Indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.

        Section 8.2.    Right to Advancement of Expenses.     In addition to the right to indemnification conferred in Section 8.1, an Indemnitee shall also have the right to be paid by the Corporation to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law the expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) incurred in defending or otherwise participating in any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an "advancement of expenses"); provided, however, that, if the DGCL requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such Indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon the Corporation's receipt of an undertaking (hereinafter an "undertaking"), by or on behalf of such Indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article VIII or otherwise.

        Section 8.3.    Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit.     If a claim under Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 is not paid in full by the Corporation within 60 days after a written claim therefor has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be 20 days, the Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Indemnitee shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (a) any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by an Indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (b) in any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a "final adjudication") that, the Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including a determination by its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the Indemnitee, shall be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article VIII or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.

        Section 8.9.    Contract Rights.     The rights provided to Indemnitees pursuant to this Article VIII shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, agent or employee and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee's heirs, executors and administrators.

MISCELLANEOUS

        Section 9.1.    Place of Meetings.     If the place of any meeting of stockholders, the Board or committee of the Board for which notice is required under these Bylaws is not designated in the notice of such meeting, such meeting shall be held at the principal business office of the Corporation; provided, however, if the Board has, in its sole discretion, determined that a meeting shall not be held at any place, but instead shall be held by means of remote communication pursuant to Section 9.5 hereof, then such meeting shall not be held at any place.

        Section 9.2.    Fixing Record Dates.     

            (a)   In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board may fix a record date, which shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

            (b)   In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.

        Section 9.3.    Means of Giving Notice.     

            (a) Notice to Directors.  Whenever under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws notice is required to be given to any director, such notice shall be given either: (i) in writing and sent by mail, or by a nationally recognized delivery service; (ii) by means of facsimile telecommunication or other form of electronic transmission; or (iii) by oral notice given personally or by telephone. A notice to a director will be deemed given as follows: (A) if given by hand delivery, orally, or by telephone, when actually received by the director; (B) if sent through the United States mail, when deposited in the United States mail, with postage and fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the director at the director's address appearing on the records of the Corporation; (C) if sent for next day delivery by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, when deposited with such service, with fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the director at the director's address appearing on the records of the Corporation; (D) if sent by facsimile telecommunication, when sent to the facsimile transmission number for such director appearing on the records of the Corporation; (E) if sent by electronic mail, when sent to the electronic mail address for such director appearing on the records of the Corporation; or (F) if sent by any other form of electronic transmission, when sent to the address, location or number (as applicable) for such director appearing on the records of the Corporation.

            (b) Notice to Stockholders.  Whenever under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws notice is required to be given to any stockholder, such notice may be given: (i) in

D-17


Table of Contents

    writing and sent either by hand delivery, through the United States mail, or by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for next day delivery; or (ii) by means of a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder, to the extent permitted by, and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 232 of the DGCL. A notice to a stockholder shall be deemed given as follows: (A) if given by hand delivery, when actually received by the stockholder; (B) if sent through the United States mail, when deposited in the United States mail, with postage and fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at the stockholder's address appearing on the stock ledger of the Corporation; (C) if sent for next day delivery by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, when deposited with such service, with fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at the stockholder's address appearing on the stock ledger of the Corporation; and (D) if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given and otherwise meeting the requirements set forth above: (1) if by facsimile transmission, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (2) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (3) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specified posting, upon the later of: (aa) such posting; and (bb) the giving of such separate notice; and (4) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder. A stockholder may revoke such stockholder's consent to receiving notice by means of electronic communication by giving written notice of such revocation to the Corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if: (aa) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Corporation in accordance with such consent; and (bb) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or to the Corporation's transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.

            (c) Electronic Transmission.  "Electronic transmission" means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process, including but not limited to transmission by telex, facsimile telecommunication, electronic mail, telegram and cablegram.

            (d) Notice to Stockholders Sharing Same Address.  Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively by the Corporation to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws shall be effective if given by a single written notice to stockholders who share an address if consented to by the stockholders at that address to whom such notice is given. A stockholder may revoke such stockholder's consent by delivering written notice of such revocation to the Corporation. Any stockholder who fails to object in writing to the Corporation within 60 days of having been given written notice by the Corporation of its intention to send such a single written notice shall be deemed to have consented to receiving such single written notice.

            (e) Exceptions to Notice Requirements.  Whenever notice is required to be given, under the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, to any person with whom communication is unlawful, the giving of such notice to such person shall not be required and there shall be no duty to apply to any governmental authority or agency for a license or permit to give such notice to such person. Any action or meeting that shall be taken or held without notice to any such person with whom communication is unlawful shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. In the event that the action taken by the Corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate with the Secretary of State of Delaware, the certificate shall state, if such is the fact and if notice is required, that notice was given to all persons entitled to receive notice except such persons with whom communication is unlawful.

        Whenever notice is required to be given by the Corporation, under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, to any stockholder to whom: (1) notice of two consecutive annual meetings of stockholders and all notices of stockholder meetings or of the taking of action by written consent of stockholders without a meeting to such stockholder during the period between such two consecutive annual meetings; or (2) all, and at least two payments (if sent by first-class mail) of dividends or interest on securities during a 12-month period, have been mailed addressed to such stockholder at such stockholder's address as shown on the records of the Corporation and have been returned undeliverable, the giving of such notice to such stockholder shall not be required. Any action or meeting that shall be taken or held without notice to such stockholder shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. If any such stockholder shall deliver to the Corporation a written notice setting forth such stockholder's then current address, the requirement that notice be given to such stockholder shall be reinstated. In the event that the action taken by the Corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate with the Secretary of State of Delaware, the certificate need not state that notice was not given to persons to whom notice was not required to be given pursuant to Section 230(b) of the DGCL. The exception in subsection (1) of the first sentence of this paragraph to the requirement that notice be given shall not be applicable to any notice returned as undeliverable if the notice was given by electronic transmission.

        Section 9.4.    Waiver of Notice.     Whenever any notice is required to be given under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws, a written waiver of such notice, signed before or after the date of such meeting by the person or persons entitled to said notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to said notice, shall be deemed equivalent to such required notice. All such waivers shall be kept with the books of the Corporation. Attendance at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a person attends for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting was not lawfully called or convened.

        Section 9.5.    Meeting Attendance via Remote Communication Equipment.    

        (a)    Stockholder Meetings.     If authorized by the Board in its sole discretion, and subject to such guidelines and procedures as the Board may adopt, stockholders and proxy holders not physically present at a meeting of stockholders may, by means of remote communication:

              (i)  participate in a meeting of stockholders; and

             (ii)  be deemed present in person and vote at a meeting of stockholders, whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication, provided that: (A) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxy holder; (B) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxy holders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings; and (C) if any stockholder or proxy holder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such votes or other action shall be maintained by the Corporation.

        (b)    Board Meetings.     Unless otherwise restricted by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, members of the Board or any committee thereof may participate in a meeting of the Board or any committee thereof by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other. Such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at the meeting, except where a person participates in the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting was not lawfully called or convened.

If any provision or provisions of this Section 9.16 shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any person or entity or circumstance for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Section 9.16 (including, without limitation, each portion of any sentence of this Section 9.16 containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and the application of such provision to other persons or entities and circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Beverly Hills, CA 90212

The Board of Directors:

        You have requested our opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to Gores Holdings II, Inc. (the "Company") of the Consideration (as defined below) to be paid by the Company pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement") to be entered into by and among the Company, AM Merger Sub I, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, AM Merger Sub II, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Greenlight Holding II Corporation (the "Target") and PE Greenlight Holdings, LLC, in its capacity as stockholder representative (the "Stockholder Representative"). As more fully described in the Agreement, the Company will pay, in the aggregate and subject to certain adjustments, approximately $608 million in cash and approximately $652 million of Class A common shares of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share ("Company Class A Stock") to acquire the Target (the "Transaction"). In connection with the Transaction, as more fully described in the Agreement, the Company will repay approximately $139 million of debt of the Target and assume approximately $852 million of existing debt of the Target and $28 million of employment plan liabilities of the Target (all such indebtedness and liabilities, together with amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence, certain estimated transaction expenses and additional issuances of Company Class A Stock to certain affiliates of, and equity investors in, the Company, the "Consideration"). With your consent, we have assumed that any adjustments to the Consideration in accordance with the Agreement or otherwise would not be material to our analysis or this opinion.

        In arriving at our opinion, we have, among other things: (i) reviewed certain internal information relating to the business, earnings, cash flow, assets, liabilities and prospects of the Target furnished to us by the Company, including financial forecasts provided to, or discussed with, us by the management of the Company; (ii) reviewed certain internal information furnished to us by the Company regarding certain synergies relating to transactions previously consummated by the Target (the "Target Historical Synergies"); (iii) reviewed certain internal information furnished to us by the Company regarding certain tax benefits relating to a transaction previously consummated by the Target (the "Target Historical Tax Benefits"); (iv) reviewed certain internal information relating to expenses expected to result from the Transaction; (v) conducted discussions with members of the senior management and representatives of the Company concerning the information described in clauses (i)-(iv) of this paragraph, as well as the businesses and prospects of the Target and the Company generally; (vi) reviewed publicly available financial and stock market data of certain other companies in lines of business that we deemed relevant ; (vii) reviewed the financial terms of certain other transactions that we deemed relevant; (viii) reviewed a draft, dated June 18, 2018, of the Agreement; and (ix) conducted such other financial studies and analyses and took into account such other information as we deemed appropriate.

        In connection with our review, we have, with your consent, relied on the information supplied to, discussed with or reviewed by us for purposes of this opinion being complete and accurate in all material respects. We have not assumed any responsibility for independent verification of any of such information. With your consent, we have relied upon, without independent verification, the assessment of the Company and its legal, tax, regulatory, and accounting advisors with respect to legal, tax, regulatory, and accounting matters. With respect to the financial forecasts and other information relating to the Target (including the Target Historical Synergies and Target Historical Tax Benefits) and the Company, we have assumed, at your direction, that they have been reasonably prepared on a basis reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of the Company as to the future performance of the Target and the Company. We also have assumed, at your direction, that the future financial results relating to the Target Historical Synergies reflected in such forecasts and other information will be achieved at the times and in the amounts projected, and that the Target Historical Tax Benefits will be available to and realized by the Target at the times and in the amounts projected. In addition, we have relied, with your consent, on the assessments of the management of the Company as to the Company's ability to retain key employees of the Target. We express no views as to the reasonableness of any financial forecasts or the assumptions on which they are based. In addition, with your consent, we have not made any independent evaluation or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities (contingent, derivative, off-balance-sheet, or otherwise) of the Target or the Company, nor have we been furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal.

        Our opinion does not address the Company's underlying business decision to effect the Transaction or the relative merits of the Transaction as compared to any alternative business strategies or transactions that might be available to the Company and does not address any legal, regulatory, tax, or accounting matters. At your direction, we have not been asked, nor do we offer, any opinion as to any terms of the Agreement or any aspect or implication of the Transaction, except for the fairness of the Consideration from a financial point of view to the Company. With your consent, we express no opinion as to what the value of the shares of Company Class A Stock actually will be when issued pursuant to the Transaction or the prices at which such Company Class A Stock or any other securities of the Company may trade at any time. With your consent, we are not expressing any opinion on any potential future consideration that may be received by sellers of the Target contingent on certain market prices for shares of Company Class A Stock or any cash payments pursuant to a tax receivable agreement to be entered into by the Company, the Stockholder Representative and the Target's stockholders. We are not expressing any opinion as to fair value or the solvency of the Target or the Company following the closing of the Transaction. In rendering this opinion, we have assumed, with your consent, that the final executed form of the Agreement will not differ in any material respect from the draft that we have reviewed, that the Transaction will be consummated in accordance with its terms without any waiver or modification that could be material to our analysis, and that the parties to the Agreement will comply with all the material terms of the Agreement. We have assumed, with your consent, that all governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the completion of the Transaction will be obtained except to the extent that could not be material to our analysis. We also have not been requested to, and have not, participated in the structuring or negotiation of the Transaction.

        Our opinion is necessarily based on economic, monetary, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof, and we assume no responsibility to update this opinion for developments after the date hereof. In addition, as you are aware, certain data underlying our analysis and opinion pre-date (and/or do not reflect the impact of) recently enacted federal tax legislation. The financial and stock markets have been adjusting to the impacts of such legislation, and we express no opinion or view as to any potential effects of such impacts on the Company, the Target or the Transaction.

We will also receive a fee upon delivery of this opinion, which is not contingent upon the consummation of the Transaction. No part of our fee is conditioned upon the conclusion expressed in this opinion. Our affiliates, employees, officers and partners may at any time own securities (long or short) of the Company and the Target. We have provided investment banking and other services to affiliates of the Company and affiliates of the Target and in the future may, provide services to such persons and have received and may receive compensation for such services. We are currently providing investment banking and other services to (i) portfolio companies of an affiliate of the sellers of the Target and (ii) a portfolio company of an affiliate of the Company, and we may receive compensation for such services. In the past two years prior to the date hereof, we have (i) provided capital markets advisory services and provided a fairness opinion to an affiliate of the Company and (ii) acted as a financial advisor to a portfolio company of an affiliate of the sellers of the Target.

        This opinion is for the use and benefit of the Board of Directors of the Company (solely in its capacity as such) in its evaluation of the Transaction. This opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how any holder of securities should vote or act with respect to the Transaction or any other matter. This opinion does not address the fairness of the Transaction or any aspect or implication thereof to, or any other consideration of or relating to, the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of the Company or the Target. In addition, we do not express any opinion as to the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to be received by any officers, directors or employees of any parties to the Transaction, or any class of such persons, whether relative to the Consideration or otherwise. This opinion was approved by a Moelis & Company LLC fairness opinion committee.

        Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as the date hereof, the Consideration to be paid by the Company in the Transaction is fair from a financial point of view to the Company.

    Very truly yours,

A Registration Statement filed pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1 shall provide for the resale pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, the Holders. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1 to remain effective, and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Registration Statement is available or, if not available, that another Registration Statement is available, for the resale of all the Registrable Securities held by the Holders until all such Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities. As soon as practicable following the effective date of a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1, but in any event within one (1) business day of such date, the Company shall notify the Holders of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement.

For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent a Requesting Holder also separately possesses Demand Registration rights pursuant to this Section 2.2, but is not the Holder who exercises such Demand Registration rights, the exercise by such Requesting Holder of its rights pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall not count as the exercise by it of one of its Demand Registration rights. Upon receipt by the Company of any such written notification from a Requesting Holder(s) to the Company, subject to Section 2.2.4 below, such Requesting Holder(s) shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration and the Company shall effect, as soon thereafter as practicable, but not more than forty five (45) days immediately after the Company's receipt of the Demand Registration, the Registration of all Registrable Securities requested by the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders pursuant to such Demand Registration.

            2.3.2    Reduction of Piggyback Registration.    If a Piggyback Registration is to be an Underwritten Offering and the managing Underwriter or Underwriters, in good faith, advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Piggyback Registration in writing that, in its opinion, the dollar amount or number of the Common Stock that the Company desires to sell, taken together with (i) the Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, (ii) the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested pursuant Section 2.3 hereof, and (iii) the Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then:

              2.3.2.1  If the Registration is undertaken for the Company's account, the Company shall include in any such Registration (A) first, the Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell for its own account, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.3.1 hereof, Pro Rata, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the Common Stock, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;

              2.3.2.2  If the Registration is pursuant to a request by persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, then the Company shall include in any such Registration (A) first, the Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, of such requesting persons or entities, other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.3.1 hereof, Pro Rata, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the Common Stock or other equity

      securities that the Company desires to sell for its own account, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the Common Stock or other equity securities for the account of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons or entities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

            2.3.3    Piggyback Registration Withdrawal.    Any Holder of Registrable Securities shall have the right to withdraw from all or any portion of its Registrable Securities in a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her or its intention to withdraw such Registrable Securities from such Piggyback Registration prior to (x) in the case of a Piggyback Registration not involving an Unwritten Offering or Shelf Underwritten Offering, the effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement or (y), in the case of any Piggyback Registration involving an Underwritten Offering or any Shelf Underwritten Offering, prior to the pricing of such Underwritten Offering or Shelf Underwritten Offering. The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this subsection 2.3.3.

            2.3.4    Unlimited Piggyback Registration Rights.    For purposes of clarity, any Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof shall not be counted as a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration effected under Section 2.2 hereof or a Shelf Underwritten Offering effected under subsection 2.1.2.

        2.4    Restrictions on Registration Rights.     If (A) during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company's good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date one hundred and twenty (120) days after the effective date of, a Company initiated Registration and provided that the Company has delivered written notice to the Holders prior to receipt of a Demand Registration pursuant to subsection 2.2.1 and it continues to actively employ, in good faith, all reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Registration Statement to become effective; (B) the Holders have requested an Underwritten Registration and the Company and the Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite the offer; or (C) in the good faith judgment of the Board such Registration would be seriously detrimental to the Company and the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement at such time, then in each case the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be seriously detrimental to the Company for such Registration Statement to be filed in the near future and that it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement. In such event, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than thirty (30) days; provided, however, that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than once in any 12-month period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Registration shall be effected or permitted and no Registration Statement shall become effective, with respect to any Registrable Securities held by any Holder, until after the expiration of the Founder Shares Lock-Up Period or the Private Placement Lock-Up Period, as the case may be.

        2.5    Block Trades.     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article II, but subject to Sections 2.4 and 3.4, if the Holders desire to effect a Block Trade, then notwithstanding any other time periods in this Article II, the Holders shall provide written notice to the Company at least five (5)

business days prior to the date such Block Trade will commence. As expeditiously as possible, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to facilitate such Block Trade. The Holders shall use reasonable best efforts to work with the Company and the Underwriters (including by disclosing the maximum number of Registrable Securities proposed to be the subject of such Block Trade) in order to facilitate preparation of the Registration Statement, Prospectus and other offering documentation related to the Block Trade and any related due diligence and comfort procedures.

            3.1.8 advise each seller of such Registrable Securities, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of any request by the Commission that the Company amend or supplement such Registration Statement or Prospectus or the issuance of any stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or Prospectus the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and promptly use its best efforts to amend or supplement such Registration Statement or Prospectus or prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued, as applicable;

            3.1.11  notify the Holders at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event or the existence of any condition as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes a Misstatement, or in the opinion of counsel for the Company it is necessary to supplement or amend such Prospectus to comply with law, and then to correct such Misstatement or include such information as is necessary to comply with law, in each case as set forth in Section 3.4 hereof, at the request of any such Holder promptly prepare and furnish to such Holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such Prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such securities, such Prospectus shall not include a Misstatement or such Prospectus, as supplemented or amended, shall comply with law;

            3.1.12  permit a representative of the Holders, the Underwriters, if any, and any attorney or accountant retained by such Holders or Underwriter to participate in the preparation of any Registration Statement, each such Prospectus included therein or filed with the Commission, and each amendment or supplement thereto, and will give each of them such access to its books and

    records and such opportunities to discuss the business, finances and accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries with its officers, directors and the independent public accountants who have certified its financial statements as shall be necessary, in the opinion of such Holders' and such Underwriters' respective counsel, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act, and will cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with the Registration; provided, however, that if requested by the Company, such representatives or Underwriters enter into a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information;

            3.1.13  obtain a "cold comfort" letter from the Company's independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten Offering, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by "cold comfort" letters as the managing Underwriter may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the participating Holders and any Underwriter;

            3.1.14  on the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, obtain an opinion and negative assurance letter, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the Holders, the placement agent or sales agent, if any, and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the Holders, placement agent, sales agent, or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the participating Holders and any Underwriter;

            3.1.17  use its reasonable efforts to make available senior executives of the Company to participate in customary "road show" presentations that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriter in any Underwritten Offering; and

            3.1.18  otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders, in connection with such Registration.

        3.2    Registration Expenses.     The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters' commissions and discounts, brokerage fees and, other than as set forth in the definition of "Registration Expenses," all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.

        3.3    Participation in Underwritten Offerings.     

            3.3.1  No person may participate in any Underwritten Offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person's securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements

F-14

    approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

            3.3.2  Holders participating in an Underwritten Offering may, at their option, require that any or all of the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Company to and for the benefit of the Underwriters shall also be made to and for the benefit of such Holders and that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such Underwriters shall also be made to and for the benefit of such Holders; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to make any representations or warranties with respect to written information specifically provided by a Holder in writing for inclusion in the Registration Statement.

            3.3.3  The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no Underwriter shall require any Holder to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company or the Underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Holder and such Holder's intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law, and if, despite the Company's commercially reasonable efforts, an Underwriter requires any Holder to make additional representation or warranties to or agreements with such Underwriter, such Holder may elect not to participate in such Underwritten Offering (but shall not have any claims against the Company as a result of such election). Any liability of such Holder to any Underwriter or other person under such underwriting agreement shall be limited to an amount equal to the proceeds (net of expenses and underwriting discounts and commissions) that it derives from such registration.

        3.4    Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure.     Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, or in the opinion of counsel for the Company it is necessary to supplement or amend such Prospectus to comply with law, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement or including the information counsel for the Company believes to be necessary to comply with law (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice such that the Registration Statement or Prospectus, as so amended or supplemented, as applicable, will not include a Misstatement and complies with law), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company's control, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time, but in no event more than thirty (30) days, determined in good faith by the Board to be necessary for such purpose. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 3.4.

        3.5    Covenants of the Company.     As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company hereby covenants and agrees:

            3.5.1  the Company will not file any Registration Statement or Prospectus included therein or any other filing or document (other than this Agreement) with the Commission which refers to any Holder of Registrable Securities by name or otherwise without the prior written approval of such Holder, which may not be unreasonably withheld.

F-15


Table of Contents

            3.5.2  the Company will not effect or permit to occur any combination or subdivision of securities which would adversely affect the ability of the Holders to effect registration of Registrable Securities in the manner contemplated by this Agreement.

            3.5.3  at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of Common Stock held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), including providing any legal opinions. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

            3.5.4  Promptly following the effectiveness of the shelf registration statement required by Section 2.1.1 (and in any event within three business days from such effectiveness), the Company shall cause the transfer agent to remove any restrictive legends (including any electronic transfer restrictions) from any Common Stock or Private Placement Warrants held by such Holder and provide or cause any customary opinions of counsel to be delivered to the transfer agent in connection with such removal.


ARTICLE IV

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

        4.1    Indemnification.     

            4.1.1  The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers, directors, partners, stockholders or members, employees, agents, investment advisors and each person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act and Exchange Act) from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys' fees), joint or several (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) (collectively, "Claims"), to which any such Holder or other persons may become subject, insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based on any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and the Company will reimburse such Holder or other person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; except insofar as the Claim or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such filing in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. The Company shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act and Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the Holder.

            4.1.2  In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, the Company may require that, as a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement, the Company shall have received an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from such Holder, to indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the

F-16


Table of Contents

    Securities Act and Exchange Act) from and against any Claims, to which any the Company or such other persons may become subject, insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based on any untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act and Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no Underwriter shall require any Holder of Registrable Securities to provide any indemnification other than that provided hereinabove in this Section 4.1.2, and, if, despite the Company's commercially reasonable efforts, an Underwriter requires any Holder of Registrable Securities to provide additional indemnification, such Holder may elect not to participate in such Underwritten Offering (but shall not have any claim against the Company as a result of such election).

            4.1.3  Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any Claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person's right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such Claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) and which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault or culpability on the part of such indemnified party or does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

            4.1.4  The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director, partners, stockholders or members, employees, agents, investment advisors or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Securities.

            4.1.5  If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 hereof from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any Claims, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Claims in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand from the offering of the Registrable Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law,

F-17


Table of Contents

    in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Claims, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder or any director, officer, employee, agent, investment advisor or controlling person thereof under this subsection 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this subsection 4.1.5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

            4.1.6  The indemnification required by this Section 4.1 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred.

GORES II SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

        This SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT is entered into this      day of June, 2018 (this "Subscription Agreement"), by and between Gores Holdings II, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and the undersigned ("Subscriber").

        WHEREAS, the Company concurrently herewith is entering into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof, substantially in the form provided to Subscriber (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company will acquire Greenlight Holding II Corporation, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (the "Transactions");

        WHEREAS, in connection with the Transactions the Company will be renamed "Verra Mobility"; and

        WHEREAS, in connection with the Transactions, Subscriber desires to subscribe for and purchase from the Company that number of shares of the Company's Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share set forth on the signature page hereto (the "Acquired Shares"), for a purchase price of $9.20 per share, or the aggregate purchase price set forth on the signature page hereto (the "Purchase Price"), and the Company desires to issue and sell to Subscriber the Acquired Shares in consideration of the payment of the Purchase Price by or on behalf of Subscriber to the Company on or prior to the Closing (as defined below);

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

        1.    Subscription.     Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Subscriber hereby agrees to subscribe for and purchase, and the Company hereby agrees to issue and sell to Subscriber, upon the payment of the Purchase Price, the Acquired Shares (such subscription and issuance, the "Subscription").

        2.    Closing.    

            a.     The closing of the Subscription contemplated hereby (the "Closing") is contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Transactions and shall occur immediately prior thereto. Not less than seven (7) business days prior to the scheduled closing date of the Transactions (the "Closing Date"), the Company shall provide written notice to Subscriber (the "Closing Notice") specifying (i) that the Company reasonably expects all conditions to the closing of the Transactions to be satisfied on a date that is not less than seven (7) business days from the date of the Closing Notice and (ii) instructions for wiring the Purchase Price for the Acquired Shares. Subscriber shall deliver to the Company at least two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date, to be held in escrow until the Closing, the Purchase Price for the Acquired Shares by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company in the Closing Notice. On the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Subscriber the Acquired Shares in book entry form, and the Purchase Price shall be released from escrow automatically and without further action by the Company or Subscriber.

    In the event the Closing does not occur on the Closing Date, the Company shall promptly (but not later than one (1) business day thereafter) return the Purchase Price to Subscriber.

            b.     The Closing shall be subject to the conditions that, on the Closing Date:

                (i)  no suspension of the qualification of the Acquired Shares for offering or sale or trading in any jurisdiction, or initiation or threatening in writing of any proceedings for any of such purposes, shall have occurred;

G-1

               (ii)  all representations and warranties of the Company and Subscriber contained in this Subscription Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date, and consummation of the Closing shall constitute a reaffirmation by each of the Company and Subscriber of each of the representations, warranties and agreements of each such party contained in this Subscription Agreement as of the Closing Date;

              (iii)  no governmental authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any judgment, order, rule or regulation (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which is then in effect and has the effect of making consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise restricting, prohibiting or enjoining consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; and

              (iv)  all conditions precedent to the closing of the Transactions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including the approval of the Company's stockholders, shall have been satisfied or waived.

            c.     At the Closing, the parties hereto shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take such additional actions as the parties reasonably may deem to be practical and necessary in order to consummate the Subscription as contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.

            d.     The issuance and sale of the Acquired Shares and the compliance by the Company with all of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject, which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, financial condition, stockholders' equity or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole (a "Material Adverse Effect") or materially affect the validity of the Acquired Shares or the legal authority of the Company to comply in all material respects with the terms of this Subscription Agreement; (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment,

The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC

G-5


Table of Contents

    as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the sixty (60) calendar days following the Filing Deadline (the "Effectiveness Deadline"); provided, that the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to ninety (90) calendar days after the Filing Deadline if the Registration Statement is reviewed by, and receives comments from, the SEC; provided, however, that the Company's obligations to include the Acquired Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of the Company held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Acquired Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Acquired Shares, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that the Company shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement during any customary blackout or similar period and including with respect to the effectiveness thereof or in the event the Registration Statement must be supplemented, amended or suspended. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the continuous effectiveness of the Registration Statement until all such securities cease to be Registrable Securities (as defined below) or such shorter period upon which all Subscribers with Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement have notified the Company that such Registrable Securities have actually been sold. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable Subscriber to resell Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144, as applicable, qualify the Registrable Securities for listing on the applicable stock exchange, update or amend the Registration Statement as necessary to include Registrable Securities and provide customary notice to holders of Registrable Securities. "Registrable Securities" shall mean, as of any date of determination, the Acquired Shares and any other equity security of the Company issued or issuable with respect to the Acquired Shares by way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement or similar event or otherwise. As to any particular Registrable Securities, once issued, such securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities (A) when they are sold, transferred, disposed or exchanged pursuant to an effective Registration Statement under the Securities Act, (B) the earlier of (1) two (2) years and (2) such time that such holder has disposed of (or, if Rule 144(i) is no longer applicable to the Company or Rule 144(i)(2) is amended to remove the reporting requirement preceding a disposition of securities, such time that such holder is able to dispose of) all of its, his or her Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 without any volume limitations thereunder, (C) when they shall have ceased to be outstanding or (D) when such securities have been sold in a private transaction in which the transferor's rights under this Section 5(a) are not assigned to the transferee of such securities.

            b.     The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Subscription Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless Subscriber (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), the officers, directors, trustees, agents, partners, members, managers, stockholders, affiliates, employees and investment advisers of each of them, each person who controls Subscriber (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, trustees, agents, partners, members, managers, stockholders, affiliates, employees and investment advisers of each such controlling person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and investigation and reasonable attorneys' fees) and expenses (collectively, "Losses"), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to

G-6


Table of Contents

    make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Section 5, except insofar as and to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based solely upon information regarding Subscriber furnished in writing to the Company by Subscriber expressly for use therein. The Company shall notify Subscriber promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 5 of which the Company is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Acquired Shares by Subscriber.

            c.     Subscriber shall, severally and not jointly with any other subscriber, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding Subscriber furnished in writing to the Company by Subscriber expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Subscriber upon the sale of the Acquired Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

        6.    Termination.     This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earlier to occur of (a) such date and time as the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement or (c) if any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 2 of this Subscription Agreement are not satisfied on or prior to the Closing and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are not or will not be consummated at the Closing; provided, that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof (including for the avoidance of doubt Subscriber's willful breach of Section 2(b)(ii) of this Subscription Agreement with respect to its representations and warranties as of the Closing Date) prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach. The Company shall promptly notify Subscriber of the termination of the Merger Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement.

        7.    Trust Account Waiver.     Subscriber acknowledges that the Company is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses or assets. Subscriber further acknowledges that, as described in the Company's prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated January 12, 2017 (the "Prospectus") available at www.sec.gov, substantially all of the Company's assets consist of the cash proceeds of the Company's initial public offering and private placements of its securities, and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account (the "Trust

G-7


Table of Contents

Account") for the benefit of the Company, its public stockholders and the underwriters of the Company's initial public offering. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its tax obligations, if any, the cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the Prospectus. For and in consideration of the Company entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Subscriber, on behalf of itself and its representatives, hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind they have or may have in the future, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement.

        8.    Miscellaneous.    

            a.     Subscriber acknowledges that the Company and others will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Closing, Subscriber agrees to promptly notify the Company if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties set forth herein are no longer accurate in all material respects.

            b.     The Company is entitled to rely upon this Subscription Agreement and is irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.

            c.     Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to Subscriber hereunder (other than the Acquired Shares acquired hereunder, if any) may be transferred or assigned.

            d.     All the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing.

            e.     The Company may request from Subscriber such additional information as the Company may deem necessary to evaluate the eligibility of Subscriber to acquire the Acquired Shares, and Subscriber shall provide such information as may be reasonably requested, to the extent readily available and to the extent consistent with its internal policies and procedures.

            f.      This Subscription Agreement may not be modified, waived or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of such modification, waiver, or termination is sought.

ARTICLE II.

DETERMINATION OF CERTAIN REALIZED TAX BENEFIT

        2.1    Tax Benefit Schedule.     

            (a)    Tax Benefit Schedule.    Within ninety (90) calendar days after the due date (taking into account valid extensions) of the U.S. federal income Tax Return of the Corporate Taxpayer for any Taxable Year in which there is a Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment (collectively, a "Realized Tax Benefit or Detriment"), the Corporate Taxpayer shall provide to the Stockholder Representative a schedule showing in reasonable detail the calculation of the Realized Tax Benefit or Detriment for such Taxable Year, the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit as of the end of such Taxable Year and any Tax Benefit Payment due in respect of such Taxable Year (a "Tax Benefit Schedule"). The Tax Benefit Schedule provided by the Corporate Taxpayer will become final as provided in Section 2.2(a) and shall be subject to amendment as provided in Section 2.2(b).

            (b)    Applicable Principles.    The Realized Tax Benefit or Detriment for each Taxable Year is intended to measure the decrease or increase in the actual liability for Taxes of the Corporate Taxpayer and its wholly owned Subsidiaries for such Taxable Year (or portion thereof) attributable to the Additional Basis Recovery determined using a "with and without" methodology. For the avoidance of doubt, the actual liability for Taxes of the Corporate and its wholly owned Subsidiaries will take into account any items attributable to Additional Basis Recovery (and any carryovers and carrybacks attributable thereto), and the Hypothetical Tax Liability shall not take into account any such items (including carryovers and carryback attributable thereto). Carryovers or carrybacks of any Tax item attributable to the Additional Basis Recovery shall be considered to be subject to the rules of the Code and the Treasury Regulations or the appropriate provisions of U.S. state and local Tax Law, as applicable, governing the use, limitation and expiration of carryovers or carrybacks of the relevant type.

        2.2    Procedure; Amendments.     

            (a)    Procedure.    Every time the Corporate Taxpayer delivers to the Stockholder Representative an applicable Schedule under this Agreement, including any Amended Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 2.2(b), including any Early Termination Schedule or amended Early Termination Schedule, the Corporate Taxpayer shall also allow the Stockholder Representative reasonable access, at the Corporate Taxpayer's sole cost, to the appropriate representatives, as determined by the Corporate Taxpayer, at the Corporate Taxpayer and the Advisory Firm that prepared the relevant Corporate Taxpayer Returns and Schedule in connection with a review of such Schedule. Without limiting the application of the preceding sentence, the Corporate Taxpayer shall, upon request, deliver to the Stockholder Representative work papers providing reasonable detail regarding the computations reflected in such Schedule. An applicable Schedule or amendment thereto shall, subject to the final sentence of this Section 2.2(a), become final and binding on the Stockholder Representative and each Stockholder thirty (30) calendar days from the first date on which the Corporate Taxpayer sent the Stockholder Representative the applicable Schedule or amendment thereto unless (i) the Stockholder Representative within thirty (30) calendar days after the date the Corporate Taxpayer sent such Schedule or amendment thereto provides the Corporate Taxpayer with written notice of a material objection to such Schedule made in good faith and setting forth in reasonable detail the Stockholder Representative's material objection along with a letter from an Advisory Firm supporting such objection, if such objection relates to the application of Tax Law (an "Objection Notice") or (ii) the Stockholder Representative provides a written waiver of the right to provide any Objection Notice with respect to such Schedule or amendment thereto within the period described in clause (i) above, in which case such Schedule or amendment thereto becomes binding on the date the waiver is received by the Corporate Taxpayer. If the Corporate Taxpayer and the Stockholder Representative are unable to resolve the issues raised in such Objection Notice within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by the Corporate Taxpayer of the Objection Notice, the Corporate Taxpayer and the Stockholder Representative shall employ the reconciliation procedures described in Section 7.9 (the "Reconciliation Procedures").

            (b)    Amended Schedule.    The applicable Schedule for any Taxable Year shall be amended from time to time by the Corporate Taxpayer or at the request of the Stockholder Representative (i) in connection with a Determination affecting such Schedule, (ii) to correct inaccuracies in the Schedule identified after the date the Schedule was provided to the Stockholder Representative, (iii) to comply with an Expert's determination under the Reconciliation Procedures, (iv) to reflect a change in the Realized Tax Benefit or Detriment for such Taxable Year attributable to a carryback or carryforward of a loss or other Tax item to such Taxable Year or (v) to reflect a change in the Realized Tax Benefit or Detriment for such Taxable Year attributable to an amended Tax Return filed for such Taxable Year (any such Schedule, an "Amended Schedule").

        2.3    Consistency with Tax Returns.     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all calculations and determinations hereunder (other than, where the context does not permit, the Hypothetical Tax Liability), including the Additional Basis Recovery, the Schedules, and the determination of the Realized Tax Benefit or Detriment, shall be made in accordance with any elections, methodologies or positions taken on the relevant Corporate Taxpayer Returns.

TAX BENEFIT PAYMENTS

        3.1    Payments.    

            (a)    Payments.    Except as provided in Section 5.3, within five (5) Business Days after a Tax Benefit Schedule with respect to a Taxable Year delivered to the Stockholder Representative pursuant to this Agreement becomes final in accordance with ARTICLE II, the Corporate

H-9


Table of Contents

    Taxpayer shall pay or cause to be paid to each Stockholder the Tax Benefit Payment (if any) determined pursuant to Section 3.1(b). Such Tax Benefit Payment shall be made, at the sole discretion of the Corporate Taxpayer, by wire or Automated Clearing House transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account previously designated by the Stockholder Representative to the Corporate Taxpayer or as otherwise agreed by the Corporate Taxpayer and Stockholder Representative (except to the extent that such amounts are required to be paid in the form of Parent Class A Stock pursuant to Section 2.11(i) of the Merger Agreement).

            (b)   A "Tax Benefit Payment" in respect of a Stockholder means an amount (which shall not be less than zero) equal to such Stockholder's Ownership Percentage of the Net Tax Benefit and the Interest Amount. Subject to Section 3.2, the "Net Tax Benefit" for a Taxable Year shall be an amount equal to the excess, if any, of 50% of the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit as of the end of such Taxable Year (or portion thereof) over the total amount of Tax Benefit Payments previously made under Section 3.1(a).

            (c)   The "Interest Amount" for a Taxable Year (or portion thereof) shall equal interest on the Net Tax Benefit with respect to such Taxable Year (or portion thereof) calculated at the Agreed Rate compounded annually from the due date (without extensions) for filing U.S. federal income Tax Return of the Corporate Taxpayer for such Taxable Year until the Payment Date.

            (d)    Certain Adjustments.    To the extent any items attributable to Additional Basis Recovery are disallowed pursuant to a Determination or are otherwise not permitted to be taken into account in calculating "actual liability" for Taxes for purposes of determining Realized Tax Benefit or Realized Tax Detriment, and the Corporate Taxpayer or any of its Affiliates have actually recovered any amounts in respect of such items under an indemnification pursuant to the HTA Purchase Agreement (as defined in the Merger Agreement), then the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit shall be increased in an amount equal to such recovery (net of any reasonable, out-of-pockets costs (including Taxes) incurred in connection with obtaining such recovery).

        3.2    Duplicative Payments.     It is intended that the provisions of this Agreement will not result in a duplicative payment of any amount required under this Agreement. It is also intended that the provisions of this Agreement, subject to ARTICLE IV and Section 7.15, will result in an amount equal to 50% of the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit as of any determination date having been paid to the Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement, plus interest as provided herein; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not be construed as creating a clawback obligation in the event that more than 50% of the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit has been paid to the Stockholders as a result of a subsequent reduction in the Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit pursuant to a Determination or otherwise. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in the appropriate manner to ensure such intentions are realized.

        3.3    Stock and Stockholders of the Corporate Taxpayer.     TRA Payments and any other payments hereunder are not conditioned on the Stockholders holding any stock of the Corporate Taxpayer (or any successor thereto).

        3.4    Interest Amount Limitation.     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the applicable Agreed Rate or Default Rate shall exceed the maximum lawful interest rate that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved in accordance with applicable Law (the "Maximum Rate"), the Agreed Rate and Default Rate (as applicable) shall be limited to the Maximum Rate; provided, that any amounts unpaid as a result of such limitation (other than with respect to an Early Termination Payment) shall be paid (together with interest calculated at the Agreed Rate or the Default Rate (as applicable) with respect to the period such amounts remained unpaid) on subsequent payment dates to the extent not exceeding the legal limitation.

        3.5    Day Count Convention.     All computations using the Agreed Rate, Default Rate or Termination Rate shall use the "Actual/360" day count convention.

ARTICLE IV.

TERMINATION

        4.1    Early Termination, Change in Control, Breach of Agreement and Divestiture.     

            (a)   The Corporate Taxpayer may, with the prior written consent of a majority of the disinterested members of the Board, terminate this Agreement with respect to all amounts payable to all the Stockholders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any transferee pursuant to Section 7.5(a)) at any time by paying or causing to be paid to such Stockholders an Early Termination Payment; provided, however, that this Agreement shall terminate with respect to any such Stockholder only upon the payment of such Early Termination Payment to such Stockholder; provided, further, that the Corporate Taxpayer may withdraw any notice to execute its termination rights under this Section 4.1(a) prior to the time at which any Early Termination Payment has been paid. Upon payment of an Early Termination Payment to a Stockholder the Corporate Taxpayer shall not have any further payment obligations in respect of such Stockholder under this Agreement, other than for any Tax Benefit Payment (i) agreed to by the Corporate Taxpayer and such Stockholder as due and payable but unpaid as of the Early Termination Date, (ii) that is the subject of an Objection Notice, which will be payable in accordance with resolution of the issues identified in such Objection Notice pursuant to this Agreement, and (iii) due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the Early Termination Date (except to the extent that the amounts described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above are included in the calculation of the Early Termination Payment).

            (b)   In the event of a Change in Control or in the event that the Corporate Taxpayer materially breaches any of its material obligations under this Agreement, whether as a result of failure to make any payment when due, failure to honor any other material obligation required hereunder or by operation of Law as a result of the rejection of this Agreement in a case commenced under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, then all obligations hereunder shall be accelerated, and such obligations shall be calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of such Change in Control or breach, as applicable, to the Stockholder Representative and shall include, but not be limited to, (i) the Early Termination Payment with respect to such Stockholder calculated as if an Early Termination Notice had been delivered on the date of such Change in Control or breach (and the Corporate Taxpayer shall provide the Stockholder Representative with an Early Termination Schedule, which shall become final in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4.2), (ii) any Tax Benefit Payment agreed to by the Corporate Taxpayer and such Stockholder as due and payable but unpaid as of the date of such Change in Control or breach, as applicable (iii) any Tax Benefit Payment that is the subject of an Objection Notice, which will be payable in accordance with resolution of the issues identified in such Objection Notice pursuant to this Agreement and (iv) any Tax Benefit Payment due for the Taxable Year ending with or including the date of such Change in Control or breach, as applicable (except to the extent that the amounts described in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) above are included in the calculation of the amount described in clause (i) above). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) in the event of a Change in Control, each Stockholder may waive the acceleration of payments with respect to such Stockholder hereunder pursuant to this Section 4.1(b), in which case for each Taxable Year ending on or after the date of the Change in Control, all TRA Payments in respect of such Stockholder shall be calculated by applying clauses (a) and (c) of the definition of "Valuation Assumptions," substituting in each case the term "the date of the Change in Control" for "the Early Termination Date", and (B) in the event that the Corporate Taxpayer materially breaches this Agreement, each Stockholder shall be entitled to elect to receive the amounts set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above or to seek specific performance of the terms hereof. The Parties agree that it will not be considered to be a material breach of a material obligation under this Agreement to make a payment due pursuant to this Agreement within

    thirty (30) calendar days of the date such payment is due (for the avoidance of doubt, taking into account Section 3.4, 5.2 and 5.3).

            (c)    Divestiture Acceleration Payment.    In the event of a Divestiture, the Corporate Taxpayer shall pay to the Stockholders the Divestiture Acceleration Payment in respect of such Divestiture, which shall be calculated utilizing the Valuation Assumptions.

        4.2    Early Termination Notice.     If the Corporate Taxpayer chooses to exercise its right of early termination under Section 4.1, the Corporate Taxpayer shall deliver to the Stockholder Representative, notice of such intention to exercise such right ("Early Termination Notice") and a schedule (the "Early Termination Schedule") specifying the Corporate Taxpayer's intention to exercise such right and showing in reasonable detail the calculation of the Early Termination Payment for each Stockholder. The Early Termination Schedule will become final and binding with respect to the Stockholder Representative and each Stockholder thirty (30) calendar days from the first date on which the Corporate Taxpayer sent the Stockholder Representative such Early Termination Schedule unless (a) the Stockholder Representative within thirty (30) calendar days after the date the Corporate Taxpayer sent such Schedule or amendment thereto provides the Corporate Taxpayer with an Objection Notice with respect to such Early Termination Schedule or (b) the Stockholder Representative provides a written waiver of the right to provide any Objection Notice with respect to such Schedule or amendment thereto within the period described in clause (a) above, in which case such Schedule or amendment thereto becomes binding on the date the waiver is received by the Corporate Taxpayer. If the Corporate Taxpayer and the Stockholder Representative, for any reason, are unable to resolve the issues raised in such Objection Notice within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by the Corporate Taxpayer of the Objection Notice, the Corporate Taxpayer and the Stockholder Representative shall employ the Reconciliation Procedures. The date on which every Early Termination Schedule under this Agreement becomes final with respect to all Stockholders in accordance with this Section 4.2 shall be the "Early Termination Effective Date".

        4.3    Payment upon Early Termination.     

            (a)   Within five (5) Business Days after the Early Termination Effective Date or the effective date of the applicable Divestiture, as applicable, the Corporate Taxpayer shall pay or cause to be paid to each Stockholder an amount equal to its Early Termination Payment or Divestiture Acceleration Payment, as applicable. Such payment shall be made, at the sole discretion of the Corporate Taxpayer, by wire or Automated Clearing House transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account or accounts designated by the applicable Stockholder or as otherwise agreed by the Corporate Taxpayer and such Stockholder (except, in each case, to the extent that such amounts are required to be paid with shares of Parent Class A Stock pursuant to Section 2.11(i) of the Merger Agreement).

            (b)   An "Early Termination Payment" in respect of a Stockholder shall equal the net present value, discounted at the Early Termination Rate as of the Early Termination Date, of all Tax Benefit Payments that would be required to be paid by the Corporate Taxpayer to such Stockholder under Section 3.1(a) beginning from the Early Termination Date assuming that the Valuation Assumptions are applied.

            (c)   A "Divestiture Acceleration Payment" in respect of a Stockholder, shall equal the net present value, discounted at the Early Termination Rate as of the Early Termination Date, of all Tax Benefits Payments resulting solely from the Applicable Assets (or portion thereof) that are the subject of the Divestiture (or, without duplication, any other portion of such Applicable Asset or other Applicable Asset to the extent that the Additional Basis Recovery attributable thereto is not recoverable for U.S. federal income tax purposes after the applicable Divestiture) that would be required to be paid by the Corporate Taxpayer to such Stockholder under Section 3.1(a) beginning from the Early Termination Date assuming the Valuation Assumptions are applied. The computation of the Divestiture Acceleration Payment shall be subject to the Reconciliation Procedures.

SUBORDINATION AND LATE PAYMENTS

        5.1    Subordination.     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any TRA Payment (or portion thereof) required to be made to a Stockholder under this Agreement shall rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to any principal, interest (including interest which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding in bankruptcy, or the reorganization of the Corporate Taxpayer or any Subsidiary thereof), fees, premiums, charges, expenses, attorneys' fees or other obligations in respect of indebtedness for borrowed money of the Corporate Taxpayer (and its wholly-owned Subsidiaries, if applicable) ("Senior Obligations") and shall rank pari passu with all current or future unsecured obligations of Corporate Taxpayer (and its wholly-owned Subsidiaries, as applicable) that are not Senior Obligations.

        5.2    Late Payments by the Corporate Taxpayer.     The amount of all or any portion of any TRA Payment not made to the Stockholders when due under the terms of this Agreement (taking into account any deferral under Section 5.3) shall be payable together with any interest thereon, computed at the Default Rate and commencing from the date on which such TRA Payment was due and payable.

        5.3    Payment Deferral.     

            (a)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein, to the extent that, at the time any TRA Payment becomes due and payable hereunder, (i) the Corporate Taxpayer Group is not permitted, pursuant to the terms of any outstanding or committed indebtedness for borrowed money to make such TRA Payment (not including an Early Termination Payment, other than one in connection with a Change in Control or Breach), or if, after making such TRA Payment, the Corporate Taxpayer Group would be in breach or default under the terms of any such indebtedness, or (ii) (A) the Corporate Taxpayer does not have the cash on hand to make such TRA Payment, and (B) the Corporate Taxpayer is not able to obtain cash from the Corporate Taxpayer Group to fund such TRA Payment because (1) the Corporate Taxpayer Group is not permitted, pursuant to the terms of any such indebtedness, to make tax distributions or similar payments to the Corporate Taxpayer to allow it to make such TRA Payment, or if, after making such TRA Payment, the Corporate Taxpayer Group would be in breach or default under the terms of any such indebtedness or (2) the applicable members of the Corporate Taxpayer Group do not have the cash on hand to make the payment described in clause (1) above, then, in each case, upon prior notice to the Stockholder Representative, the Corporate Taxpayer shall be permitted to defer such TRA Payment until the condition described in clauses (i) or (ii) above is no longer applicable.

            (b)   If the Corporate Taxpayer defers any TRA Payment (or portion thereof) pursuant to Section 5.3(a), such deferred amount shall accrue interest at the Agreed Rate, from the date that such amounts originally became due and owing pursuant to the terms hereof to the Payment Date, compounded annually, and such deferred amounts shall not be treated as late payments or as a breach of any obligation under this Agreement, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, if Section 5.2 becomes applicable because the conditions described in clauses (i) and (ii) in Section 5.3(a) are no longer applicable and such TRA Payment (or portion thereof) still has not been paid to the Stockholders, then Section 5.2, and not this Section 5.3(b), shall apply for the period commencing on the date on which such conditions are no longer applicable.

            (b)   No provision of this Agreement may be amended unless such amendment is approved in writing by the Corporate Taxpayer and the Stockholders. No provision of this Agreement may be waived unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective.

            (c)   All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors, permitted assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. The Corporate Taxpayer shall require and cause any direct or indirect successor (whether by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Corporate Taxpayer, by written agreement, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Corporate Taxpayer would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place (except to the extent expressly provided by this Agreement).

        7.6    Titles and Subtitles.     The titles of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement.

        7.7    Governing Law.     This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of Law or conflict of Laws rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

        7.8    Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.     Each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (unless the Federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction over the matter, in which case the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, or the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware does not have jurisdiction, in which case the Superior Court of the State of Delaware) for the purposes of any legal proceeding arising out of this Agreement, and agrees to commence any such legal proceeding only in such courts. Each Party further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by United States registered mail to such Party's respective address set forth herein shall be effective service of process for any such legal proceeding. Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any legal proceeding out of this Agreement in such courts, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such legal proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER AT LAW, IN EQUITY, BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF SUCH PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

        7.9    Reconciliation.     In the event that the Corporate Taxpayer and the Stockholder Representative are unable to resolve a disagreement with respect to the matters governed by ARTICLE II or ARTICLE IV within the relevant period designated in this Agreement ("Reconciliation Dispute"), the Reconciliation Dispute shall be submitted for determination to a nationally recognized expert (the "Expert") in the particular area of disagreement mutually acceptable to such Parties. The Expert shall be a partner or principal in a nationally recognized accounting or law firm, and (unless the Corporate Taxpayer and the Stockholder Representative agree otherwise) the Expert shall not, and the firm that employs the Expert shall not, have any material relationship with the Corporate Taxpayer or the Stockholder Representative or their Affiliates or other actual or potential conflict of interest. If the Parties are unable to agree on an Expert within fifteen (15) calendar days of the end of the thirty (30) calendar-day period set forth in Sections 2.2 or 4.2, the Expert shall be appointed by the International Chamber of Commerce Centre for Expertise. The Expert shall resolve any matter relating to the Early Termination Schedule or an amendment thereto within thirty (30) calendar days and shall

H-16


Table of Contents

resolve any matter relating to a Tax Benefit Schedule or an amendment thereto within fifteen (15) calendar days or, in each case, as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, in each case after the matter has been submitted to the Expert for resolution. If the matter is not resolved before any payment that is the subject of a disagreement would be due (in the absence of such disagreement), the undisputed amount shall be paid on the date prescribed by this Agreement, subject to adjustment upon resolution. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.9 shall not restrict the ability of the Corporate Taxpayer or its Affiliates to determine when or whether to file or amend any Tax Return. The costs and expenses relating to the engagement of such Expert or amending any Tax Return shall be borne equally by the Corporate Taxpayer and the Stockholders (on a pro rata basis based on relative proportion of all Early Termination Payments under this Agreement, measured by present value of payments due under this Agreement, using the present value calculation and assumptions described under Section 4.3(b) assuming for such purpose the Early Termination Date is the date the Reconciliation Dispute is resolved) participating in the Reconciliation Dispute. The Corporate Taxpayer may withhold payments under this Agreement to collect amounts due under the preceding sentence. Any dispute as to whether a dispute is a Reconciliation Dispute within the meaning of this Section 7.9 shall be decided by the Expert. The Expert shall finally determine any Reconciliation Dispute and the determinations of the Expert pursuant to this Section 7.9 shall be binding on the Corporate Taxpayer, and the Stockholder Representative, as applicable, participating in the Reconciliation Dispute and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction.

        7.10    Withholding.     The Corporate Taxpayer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold or cause to be deducted and withheld from any payment payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other applicable tax Law, provided, that the Corporate Taxpayer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Stockholder Representative and any applicable Stockholder of its intent to withhold at least ten (10) Business Days prior to withholding such amounts.

        To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority by the Corporate Taxpayer, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Stockholder.

        7.11    Admission of the Corporate Taxpayer into a Consolidated Group; Transfers of Corporate Assets.     If the Corporate Taxpayer and its wholly owned Subsidiaries are or become members of a combined, consolidated, affiliated or unitary group that files a consolidated, combined or unitary income tax return pursuant to Sections 1501 et seq. of the Code or any corresponding provisions of state or local Law, then: (a) the provisions of this Agreement shall be applied with respect to the relevant group as a whole; and (b) TRA Payments, Net Tax Benefit, Cumulative Net Realized Tax Benefit, Realized Tax Benefit or Detriment and other applicable items hereunder shall be computed with reference to the consolidated (or combined or unitary, where applicable) taxable income, gain, loss, deduction and attributes of the relevant group as a whole.

        7.12    Confidentiality.     Each Stockholder and each of its assignees acknowledge and agree that the information of the Corporate Taxpayer is confidential and agrees that such Stockholder (or assignee) shall keep and retain in the strictest confidence and not disclose to any Person any confidential matters acquired pursuant to this Agreement of the Corporate Taxpayer and its Affiliates and successors, learned by the Stockholder heretofore or hereafter, except in the course of performing any duties as necessary for the Corporate Taxpayer and its Affiliates, as required by Law or legal process or to enforce the terms of this Agreement. This Section 7.12 shall not apply to (a) any information that has been made publicly available by the Corporate Taxpayer or any of its Affiliates, becomes public knowledge (except as a result of an act of the Stockholder in violation of this Agreement) or is generally known to the business community, (b) any information independently determined by a Stockholder or provided to a Stockholder by a third party on a non-confidential basis and (c) the disclosure of information to the extent necessary for the Stockholder to prepare and file its Tax

Table of Contents

Returns, to respond to any inquiries regarding the same from any Taxing Authority or to prosecute or defend any action, proceeding or audit by any Taxing Authority with respect to such Tax Returns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other agreement, the Stockholders and each of their assignees (and each employee, representative or other agent of the Stockholders or their assignees, as applicable) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure and any related tax strategies of or relating to the Corporate Taxpayer and its Affiliates, the Stockholder or its assignee, and any of their transactions or agreements, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Stockholder or its assignee relating to such tax treatment and tax structure and any related tax strategies.

        If a Stockholder or an assignee commits a breach, or threatens to commit a breach, of any of the provisions of this Section 7.12, the Corporate Taxpayer and its Affiliates shall have the right and remedy to have the provisions of this Section 7.12 specifically enforced by injunctive relief or otherwise by any court of competent jurisdiction without the need to post any bond or other security, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach shall cause irreparable injury to the Corporate Taxpayer or its Affiliates and the accounts and funds managed by the Corporate Taxpayer and that money damages alone shall not provide an adequate remedy to such Persons. Such rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

        7.13    Change in Law.     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, in connection with an actual or proposed change in Law, a Stockholder reasonably believes that the existence of this Agreement could cause income (other than income arising from receipt of a payment under this Agreement) recognized by such Stockholder (or its direct or indirect owners) to be treated as ordinary income rather than capital gain (or otherwise taxed at ordinary income rates) for U.S. federal income tax purposes or could have other material adverse tax consequences to such Stockholder (or its direct or indirect owners), then at the election of such Stockholder and the receipt by such Stockholder of the written consent of the Corporate Taxpayer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and to the extent specified by such Stockholder, this Agreement shall cease to have further effect with respect to such Stockholder.

        7.14    Independent Nature of Stockholders' Rights and Obligations.     The rights and obligations of each Stockholder are independent of the rights and obligations of any other Stockholder. No Stockholder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Stockholder, nor shall any Stockholder have the right to enforce the rights or obligations of any other Stockholder. The obligations of each Stockholder are solely for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable solely by, the Corporate Taxpayer. The decision of each Stockholder to enter into this Agreement has been made by such Stockholder independently of any other Stockholder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any Stockholder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Stockholders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Stockholders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such rights or obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Corporate Taxpayer acknowledges that the Stockholders are not acting in concert or as a group and will not assert any such claim with respect to such rights or obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby.

        7.15    Stockholder Representative.     

            (a)   The Stockholder Representative shall act as the representative of the Stockholders in respect of all matters arising under this Agreement, and shall be authorized to act, or refrain from acting, in each case as the Stockholder Representative believes is necessary or appropriate under this Agreement, for and on behalf of the Stockholders. The Stockholders shall be bound by all such actions taken by the Stockholder Representative and no Stockholder shall be permitted to

H-18


Table of Contents

    take any such actions. The Stockholder Representative is serving as the Stockholder Representative solely for purposes of administrative convenience, and is not personally liable (except in its capacity as a Stockholder hereunder) for any of the obligations of any Stockholders hereunder, and the Corporate Taxpayer (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) agrees that it will not look to the Stockholder Representative or the underlying assets of the Stockholder Representative for the satisfaction of any obligations of any of the Stockholders. The Stockholder Representative shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken, in connection with the performance by the Stockholder Representative of the Stockholder Representative's duties or the exercise by the Stockholder Representative of the Stockholder Representative's rights and remedies under this Agreement, except in the case of its bad faith or willful misconduct. No bond shall be required of the Stockholder Representative. The Stockholder Representative may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. The Stockholder Representative shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Stockholder Representative shall have the full power and authority to interpret all the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and to consent to any amendment hereof or thereof on behalf of all Stockholders and their respective successors. The Corporate Taxpayer shall be entitled to rely on all statements, representations, decisions of, and actions taken or omitted to be taken by, the Stockholder Representative relating to this Agreement.

            (b)   The Stockholders will indemnify and hold harmless the Stockholder Representative from and against any and all Losses (as defined in the Merger Agreement) arising out of or in connection with the Stockholder Representative's execution and performance of this Agreement, in each case as such Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Loss is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Stockholder Representative, the Stockholder Representative will reimburse the Stockholders the amount of such indemnified Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event will the Stockholder Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Stockholders or otherwise. The Stockholders acknowledge and agree that the foregoing indemnities will survive the resignation or removal of the Stockholder Representative or the termination of this Agreement.

            (c)   The Stockholder Representative may resign at any time by giving 30 days' notice to the Corporate Taxpayer and the Stockholders; provided, however, in the event of the resignation or removal of the Stockholder Representative, a new Stockholder Representative (who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Corporate Taxpayer) shall be appointed by the vote or written consent of PE Greenlight Holdings, LLC.

            1.2    Purpose.    The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of the Participating Company Group and its stockholders by providing an incentive to attract, retain and reward persons performing services for the Participating Company Group and by motivating such persons to contribute to the growth and profitability of the Participating Company Group. The Plan seeks to achieve this purpose by providing for Awards in the form of Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares, Performance Units, Cash-Based Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards.

For this purpose, the terms "parent," "subsidiary," "control" and "controlled by" shall have the meanings assigned such terms for the purposes of registration of securities on Form S-8 under the Securities Act.

Table of Contents

            4.2    Share Counting.    If an outstanding Award for any reason expires or is terminated or canceled without having been exercised or settled in full, or if shares of Stock acquired pursuant to an Award subject to forfeiture or repurchase are forfeited or repurchased by the Company for an amount not greater than the Participant's purchase price, the shares of Stock allocable to the terminated portion of such Award or such forfeited or repurchased shares of Stock shall again be available for issuance under the Plan. Shares of Stock shall not be deemed to have been issued pursuant to the Plan with respect to any portion of an Award that is settled in cash. Upon payment in shares of Stock pursuant to the exercise of an SAR, the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan shall be reduced by the gross number of shares for which the SAR is exercised. If the exercise price of an Option is paid by tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, of shares of Stock owned by the Participant, or by means of a Net Exercise, the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan shall be reduced by the gross number of shares for which the Option is exercised. Shares purchased in the open market with proceeds from the exercise of Options shall not be added to the limit set forth in Section 4.1. Shares withheld or reacquired by the Company in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations pursuant to the exercise or settlement of Options or SARs pursuant to Section 16.2 shall not again be available for issuance under the Plan.

            4.3    Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure.    Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company and the requirements of Sections 409A and 424 of the Code to the extent applicable, in the event of any change in the Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, whether through merger, consolidation, reorganization, reincorporation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, split-off, spin-off, combination of shares, exchange of shares, or similar change in the capital structure of the Company, or in the event of payment of a dividend or distribution to the stockholders of the Company in a form other than Stock (excepting regular, periodic cash dividends) that has a material effect on the Fair Market Value of shares of Stock, appropriate and proportionate adjustments shall be made in the number and kind of shares subject to the Plan and to any outstanding Awards, the Annual Increase, the Award limits set forth in Section 5.3 and Section 5.4, and in the exercise or purchase price per share under any outstanding Award in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of Participants' rights under the Plan. For purposes of the foregoing, conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as "effected without receipt of consideration by the Company." If a majority of the shares which are of the same class as the shares that are subject to outstanding Awards are exchanged for, converted into, or otherwise become (whether or not pursuant to an Ownership Change Event) shares of another corporation (the "New Shares"), the Committee may unilaterally amend the outstanding Awards to provide that such Awards are for New Shares. In the event of any such amendment, the number of shares subject to, and the exercise or purchase price per share of, the outstanding Awards shall be adjusted in a fair and equitable manner as determined by the Committee, in its discretion. Any fractional share resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number and the exercise or purchase price per share shall be rounded up to the nearest whole cent. In no event may the exercise or purchase price, if any, under any Award be decreased to an amount less than the par value, if any, of the stock subject to such Award. The Committee in its discretion, may also make such adjustments in the terms of any Award to reflect, or related to, such changes in the capital structure of the Company or distributions as it deems appropriate, including modification of Performance Goals, Performance Award Formulas and Performance Periods. The adjustments determined by the Committee pursuant to this Section shall be final, binding and conclusive.

In addition, subject to compliance with applicable laws, and listing requirements, shares available for grant under a stockholder approved plan of an acquired company (as appropriately adjusted to reflect the transaction) may be used for awards under the Plan to individuals who were not Employees or Directors of the Participating Company Group prior to the transaction and shall not reduce the number of shares otherwise available for issuance under the Plan.

        5.    ELIGIBILITY, PARTICIPATION AND AWARD LIMITATIONS.    

            5.1    Persons Eligible for Awards.    Awards may be granted only to Employees, Consultants and Directors.

            5.2    Participation in the Plan.    Awards are granted solely at the discretion of the Committee. Eligible persons may be granted more than one Award. However, eligibility in accordance with this Section shall not entitle any person to be granted an Award, or, having been granted an Award, to be granted an additional Award.

            5.3    Incentive Stock Option Limitations.    

              (a)    Maximum Number of Shares Issuable Pursuant to Incentive Stock Options.    Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.3, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options shall not exceed 10,864,000 shares. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan pursuant to all Awards other than Incentive Stock Options shall be the number of shares determined in accordance with Section 4.1, subject to adjustment as provided in Sections 4.2 and 4.3.

              (b)    Persons Eligible.    An Incentive Stock Option may be granted only to a person who, on the effective date of grant, is an Employee of the Company, a Parent Corporation or a Subsidiary Corporation (each being an "ISO-Qualifying Corporation"). Any person who is not an Employee of an ISO-Qualifying Corporation on the effective date of the grant of an Option to such person may be granted only a Nonstatutory Stock Option.

              (c)    Fair Market Value Limitation.    To the extent that options designated as Incentive Stock Options (granted under all stock plans of the Participating Company Group, including the Plan) become exercisable by a Participant for the first time during any calendar year for stock having a Fair Market Value greater than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), the portion of such options which exceeds such amount shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section, options designated as Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of stock shall be determined as of the time the option with respect to such stock is granted. If the Code is amended to provide for a limitation different from that set forth in this Section, such different limitation shall be deemed incorporated herein effective as of the date and with respect to such Options as required or permitted by such amendment to the Code. If an Option is treated as an Incentive Stock Option in part and as a Nonstatutory Stock Option in part by reason of the limitation set forth in this Section, the Participant may designate which portion of such Option the Participant is exercising. In the absence of such designation, the Participant shall be deemed to have exercised the Incentive Stock Option portion of the Option first. Upon exercise of the Option, shares issued pursuant to each such portion shall be separately identified.

            5.4    Nonemployee Director Award Limit.    Annual compensation awarded to any Nonemployee Director during each fiscal year, including both shares of Stock subject to Awards and any cash fees paid to such Nonemployee Director (but excluding expense reimbursements), may not exceed $750,000 in total value (calculating the value of any such Awards based on the grant date fair value of such Awards for financial reporting purposes).

        6.    STOCK OPTIONS.    

        Options shall be evidenced by Award Agreements specifying the number of shares of Stock covered thereby, in such form as the Committee shall establish. Such Award Agreements may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

            6.1    Exercise Price.    The exercise price for each Option shall be established in the discretion of the Committee; provided, however, that (a) the exercise price per share shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the effective date of grant of the Option and (b) no Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Owner shall have an exercise price per share less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the effective date of grant of the Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option (whether an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option) may be granted with an exercise price less than the minimum exercise price set forth above if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner that would qualify under the provisions of Section 409A or Section 424(a) of the Code.

            6.2    Exercisability and Term of Options.    Options shall be exercisable at such time or times, or upon such event or events, and subject to such terms, conditions, performance criteria and restrictions as shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Option; provided, however, that (a) no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years after the effective date of grant of such Option, (b) no Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Owner shall be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years after the effective date of grant of such Option and (c) no Option granted to an Employee who is a non-exempt employee for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, shall be first exercisable until at least six (6) months following the date of grant of such Option (except in the event of such Employee's death, disability or retirement, upon a Change in Control, or as otherwise permitted by the Worker Economic Opportunity Act). Subject to the foregoing, unless otherwise specified by the Committee in the grant of an Option, each Option shall terminate ten (10) years after the effective date of grant of the Option, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its provisions.

            6.3    Payment of Exercise Price.    

              (a)    Forms of Consideration Authorized.    Except as otherwise provided below, payment of the exercise price for the number of shares of Stock being purchased pursuant to any Option shall be made (i) in cash, by check or in cash equivalent; (ii) if permitted by the Committee and subject to the limitations contained in Section 6.3(b), by means of (1) a Cashless Exercise, (2) a Stock Tender Exercise or (3) a Net Exercise; (iii) by such other consideration as may be approved by the Committee from time to time to the extent permitted by applicable law, or (iv) by any combination thereof. The Committee may at any time or from time to time grant Options which do not permit all of the foregoing forms of consideration to be used in payment of the exercise price or which otherwise restrict one or more forms of consideration.

              (b)    Limitations on Forms of Consideration.    

                (i)    Cashless Exercise.    A "Cashless Exercise" means the delivery of a properly executed notice of exercise together with irrevocable instructions to a broker providing for

I-11


Table of Contents

        the assignment to the Company of the proceeds of a sale or loan with respect to some or all of the shares being acquired upon the exercise of the Option (including, without limitation, through an exercise complying with the provisions of Regulation T as promulgated from time to time by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). The Company reserves, at any and all times, the right, in the Company's sole and absolute discretion, to establish, decline to approve or terminate any program or procedures for the exercise of Options by means of a Cashless Exercise, including with respect to one or more Participants specified by the Company notwithstanding that such program or procedures may be available to other Participants.

                (ii)    Stock Tender Exercise.    A "Stock Tender Exercise" means the delivery of a properly executed exercise notice accompanied by a Participant's tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, in a form acceptable to the Company of whole shares of Stock owned by the Participant having a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price for the shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. A Stock Tender Exercise shall not be permitted if it would constitute a violation of the provisions of any law, regulation or agreement restricting the redemption of the Company's stock. If required by the Company, an Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, of shares of Stock unless such shares either have been owned by the Participant for a period of time required by the Company (and not used for another option exercise by attestation during such period) or were not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Company.

                (iii)    Net Exercise.    A "Net Exercise" means the delivery of a properly executed exercise notice followed by a procedure pursuant to which (1) the Company will reduce the number of shares otherwise issuable to a Participant upon the exercise of an Option by the largest whole number of shares having a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price for the shares with respect to which the Option is exercised, and (2) the Participant shall pay to the Company in cash the remaining balance of such aggregate exercise price not satisfied by such reduction in the number of whole shares to be issued.

            6.4    Effect of Termination of Service.    

              (a)    Option Exercisability.    Subject to earlier termination of the Option as otherwise provided by this Plan and unless otherwise provided by the Committee, an Option shall terminate immediately upon the Participant's termination of Service to the extent that it is then unvested and shall be exercisable after the Participant's termination of Service to the extent it is then vested only during the applicable time period determined in accordance with this Section and thereafter shall terminate.

                (i)    Disability.    If the Participant's Service terminates because of the Disability of the Participant, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable for vested shares on the date on which the Participant's Service terminated, may be exercised by the Participant (or the Participant's guardian or legal representative) at any time prior to the expiration of twelve (12) months (or such longer or shorter period provided by the Award Agreement) after the date on which the Participant's Service terminated, but in any event no later than the date of expiration of the Option's term as set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Option (the "Option Expiration Date").

                (ii)    Death.    If the Participant's Service terminates because of the death of the Participant, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable for vested shares on the date on which the Participant's Service terminated, may be exercised by the Participant's legal representative or other person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by

I-12


Table of Contents

        reason of the Participant's death at any time prior to the expiration of twelve (12) months (or such longer or shorter period provided by the Award Agreement) after the date on which the Participant's Service terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date. The Participant's Service shall be deemed to have terminated on account of death if the Participant dies within three (3) months (or such longer or shorter period provided by the Award Agreement) after the Participant's termination of Service.

                (iii)    Termination for Cause.    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, if the Participant's Service is terminated for Cause or if, following the Participant's termination of Service and during any period in which the Option otherwise would remain exercisable, the Participant engages in any act that would constitute Cause, the Option shall terminate in its entirety and cease to be exercisable immediately upon such termination of Service or act.

                (iv)    Other Termination of Service.    If the Participant's Service terminates for any reason, except Disability, death or Cause, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable for vested shares on the date on which the Participant's Service terminated, may be exercised by the Participant at any time prior to the expiration of three (3) months (or such longer or shorter period provided by the Award Agreement) after the date on which the Participant's Service terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date.

              (b)    Extension if Exercise Prevented by Law.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than termination of Service for Cause, if the exercise of an Option within the applicable time periods set forth in Section 6.4(a) is prevented by the provisions of Section 14 below, the Option shall remain exercisable until the later of (i) thirty (30) days after the date such exercise first would no longer be prevented by such provisions or (ii) the end of the applicable time period under Section 6.4(a), but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date.

            6.5    Transferability of Options.    During the lifetime of the Participant, an Option shall be exercisable only by the Participant or the Participant's guardian or legal representative. An Option shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant's beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by the Committee, in its discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Option, an Option shall be assignable or transferable subject to the applicable limitations, if any, described in the General Instructions to Form S-8 under the Securities Act or, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, only as permitted by applicable regulations under Section 421 of the Code in a manner that does not disqualify such Option as an Incentive Stock Option.

        7.    STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.    

        Stock Appreciation Rights shall be evidenced by Award Agreements specifying the number of shares of Stock subject to the Award, in such form as the Committee shall establish. Such Award Agreements may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

            7.1    Types of SARs Authorized.    SARs may be granted in tandem with all or any portion of a related Option (a "Tandem SAR") or may be granted independently of any Option (a "Freestanding SAR"). A Tandem SAR may only be granted concurrently with the grant of the related Option.

            7.2    Exercise Price.    The exercise price for each SAR shall be established in the discretion of the Committee; provided, however, that (a) the exercise price per share subject to a Tandem SAR shall be the exercise price per share under the related Option and (b) the exercise price per share

I-13


Table of Contents

    subject to a Freestanding SAR shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the effective date of grant of the SAR. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an SAR may be granted with an exercise price lower than the minimum exercise price set forth above if such SAR is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another stock appreciation right in a manner that would qualify under the provisions of Section 409A of the Code.

            7.3    Exercisability and Term of SARs.    

              (a)    Tandem SARs.    Tandem SARs shall be exercisable only at the time and to the extent, and only to the extent, that the related Option is exercisable, subject to such provisions as the Committee may specify where the Tandem SAR is granted with respect to less than the full number of shares of Stock subject to the related Option. The Committee may, in its discretion, provide in any Award Agreement evidencing a Tandem SAR that such SAR may not be exercised without the advance approval of the Company and, if such approval is not given, then the Option shall nevertheless remain exercisable in accordance with its terms. A Tandem SAR shall terminate and cease to be exercisable no later than the date on which the related Option expires or is terminated or canceled. Upon the exercise of a Tandem SAR with respect to some or all of the shares subject to such SAR, the related Option shall be canceled automatically as to the number of shares with respect to which the Tandem SAR was exercised. Upon the exercise of an Option related to a Tandem SAR as to some or all of the shares subject to such Option, the related Tandem SAR shall be canceled automatically as to the number of shares with respect to which the related Option was exercised.

              (b)    Freestanding SARs.    Freestanding SARs shall be exercisable at such time or times, or upon such event or events, and subject to such terms, conditions, performance criteria and restrictions as shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such SAR; provided, however, that (i) no Freestanding SAR shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years after the effective date of grant of such SAR and (ii) no Freestanding SAR granted to an Employee who is a non-exempt employee for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, shall be first exercisable until at least six (6) months following the date of grant of such SAR (except in the event of such Employee's death, disability or retirement, upon a Change in Control, or as otherwise permitted by the Worker Economic Opportunity Act). Subject to the foregoing, unless otherwise specified by the Committee in the grant of a Freestanding SAR, each Freestanding SAR shall terminate ten (10) years after the effective date of grant of the SAR, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its provisions.

            7.4    Exercise of SARs.    Upon the exercise (or deemed exercise pursuant to Section 7.5) of an SAR, the Participant (or the Participant's legal representative or other person who acquired the right to exercise the SAR by reason of the Participant's death) shall be entitled to receive payment of an amount for each share with respect to which the SAR is exercised equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of exercise of the SAR over the exercise price. Payment of such amount shall be made (a) in the case of a Tandem SAR, solely in shares of Stock in a lump sum upon the date of exercise of the SAR and (b) in the case of a Freestanding SAR, in cash, shares of Stock, or any combination thereof as determined by the Committee, in a lump sum upon the date of exercise of the SAR. When payment is to be made in shares of Stock, the number of shares to be issued shall be determined on the basis of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of exercise of the SAR. For purposes of Section 7, an SAR shall be deemed exercised on the date on which the Company receives notice of exercise from the Participant or as otherwise provided in Section 7.5.

            7.5    Deemed Exercise of SARs.    If, on the date on which an SAR would otherwise terminate or expire, the SAR by its terms remains exercisable immediately prior to such termination or

I-14


Table of Contents

    expiration and, if so exercised, would result in a payment to the holder of such SAR, then any portion of such SAR which has not previously been exercised shall automatically be deemed to be exercised as of such date with respect to such portion.

            7.6    Effect of Termination of Service.    Subject to earlier termination of the SAR as otherwise provided herein and unless otherwise provided by the Committee, an SAR shall be exercisable after a Participant's termination of Service only to the extent and during the applicable time period determined in accordance with Section 6.4 (treating the SAR as if it were an Option) and thereafter shall terminate.

            7.7    Transferability of SARs.    During the lifetime of the Participant, an SAR shall be exercisable only by the Participant or the Participant's guardian or legal representative. An SAR shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant's beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by the Committee, in its discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Award, a Tandem SAR related to a Nonstatutory Stock Option or a Freestanding SAR shall be assignable or transferable subject to the applicable limitations, if any, described in the General Instructions to Form S-8 under the Securities Act.

        8.    RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS.    

        Restricted Stock Awards shall be evidenced by Award Agreements specifying whether the Award is a Restricted Stock Bonus or a Restricted Stock Purchase Right and the number of shares of Stock subject to the Award, in such form as the Committee shall establish. Such Award Agreements may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

            8.1    Types of Restricted Stock Awards Authorized.    Restricted Stock Awards may be granted in the form of either a Restricted Stock Bonus or a Restricted Stock Purchase Right. Restricted Stock Awards may be granted upon such conditions as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, upon the attainment of one or more Performance Goals described in Section 10.4. If either the grant of or satisfaction of Vesting Conditions applicable to a Restricted Stock Award is to be contingent upon the attainment of one or more Performance Goals, the Committee shall follow procedures substantially equivalent to those set forth in Sections 10.3 through 10.5(a).

            8.2    Purchase Price.    The purchase price for shares of Stock issuable under each Restricted Stock Purchase Right shall be established by the Committee in its discretion. No monetary payment (other than applicable tax withholding) shall be required as a condition of receiving shares of Stock pursuant to a Restricted Stock Bonus, the consideration for which shall be services actually rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if required by applicable state corporate law, the Participant shall furnish consideration in the form of cash or past services rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit having a value not less than the par value of the shares of Stock subject to a Restricted Stock Award.

            8.3    Purchase Period.    A Restricted Stock Purchase Right shall be exercisable within a period established by the Committee, which shall in no event exceed thirty (30) days from the effective date of the grant of the Restricted Stock Purchase Right.

            8.4    Payment of Purchase Price.    Except as otherwise provided below, payment of the purchase price for the number of shares of Stock being purchased pursuant to any Restricted Stock Purchase Right shall be made (a) in cash, by check or in cash equivalent, (b) by such other consideration as may be approved by the Committee from time to time to the extent permitted by applicable law, or (c) by any combination thereof.

I-15

            8.5    Vesting and Restrictions on Transfer.    Shares issued pursuant to any Restricted Stock Award may (but need not) be made subject to Vesting Conditions based upon the satisfaction of such Service requirements, conditions, restrictions or performance criteria, including, without limitation, Performance Goals as described in Section 10.4, as shall be established by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Award. During any period in which shares acquired pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award remain subject to Vesting Conditions, such shares may not be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of other than pursuant to an Ownership Change Event or as provided in Section 8.8. The Committee, in its discretion, may provide in any Award Agreement evidencing a Restricted Stock Award that, if the satisfaction of Vesting Conditions with respect to any shares subject to such Restricted Stock Award would otherwise occur on a day on which the sale of such shares would violate the provisions of the Trading Compliance Policy, then satisfaction of the Vesting Conditions automatically shall be determined on the next trading day on which the sale of such shares would not violate the Trading Compliance Policy. Upon request by the Company, each Participant shall execute any agreement evidencing such transfer restrictions prior to the receipt of shares of Stock hereunder and shall promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing shares of Stock acquired hereunder for the placement on such certificates of appropriate legends evidencing any such transfer restrictions.

            8.6    Voting Rights; Dividends and Distributions.    Except as provided in this Section, Section 8.5 and any Award Agreement, during any period in which shares acquired pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award remain subject to Vesting Conditions, the Participant shall have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company holding shares of Stock, including the right to vote such shares and to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such shares; provided, however, that if so determined by the Committee and provided by the Award Agreement, such dividends and distributions shall be subject to the same Vesting Conditions as the shares subject to the Restricted Stock Award with respect to which such dividends or distributions were paid, and otherwise shall be paid no later than the end of the calendar year in which such dividends or distributions are paid to stockholders (or, if later, the 15th day of the third month following the date such dividends or distributions are paid to stockholders). In the event of a dividend or distribution paid in shares of Stock or other property or any other adjustment made upon a change in the capital structure of the Company as described in Section4.3, any and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property (other than regular, periodic cash dividends) to which the Participant is entitled by reason of the Participant's Restricted Stock Award shall be immediately subject to the same Vesting Conditions as the shares subject to the Restricted Stock Award with respect to which such dividends or distributions were paid or adjustments were made.

            8.7    Effect of Termination of Service.    Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the Award Agreement evidencing a Restricted Stock Award, if a Participant's Service terminates for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary (including the Participant's death or disability), then (a) the Company shall have the option to repurchase for the purchase price paid by the Participant any shares acquired by the Participant pursuant to a Restricted Stock Purchase Right which remain subject to Vesting Conditions as of the date of the Participant's termination of Service and (b) the Participant shall forfeit to the Company any shares acquired by the Participant pursuant to a Restricted Stock Bonus which remain subject to Vesting Conditions as of the date of the Participant's termination of Service. The Company shall have the right to assign at any time any repurchase right it may have, whether or not such right is then exercisable, to one or more persons as may be selected by the Company.

I-16


Table of Contents

            8.8    Nontransferability of Restricted Stock Award Rights.    Rights to acquire shares of Stock pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant's beneficiary, except transfer by will or the laws of descent and distribution. All rights with respect to a Restricted Stock Award granted to a Participant hereunder shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant or the Participant's guardian or legal representative.

        9.    RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS.    

        Restricted Stock Unit Awards shall be evidenced by Award Agreements specifying the number of Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award, in such form as the Committee shall establish. Such Award Agreements may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

            9.1    Grant of Restricted Stock Unit Awards.    Restricted Stock Unit Awards may be granted upon such conditions as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, upon the attainment of one or more Performance Goals described in Section 10.4. If either the grant of a Restricted Stock Unit Award or the Vesting Conditions with respect to such Award is to be contingent upon the attainment of one or more Performance Goals, the Committee shall follow procedures substantially equivalent to those set forth in Sections 10.3 through 10.5(a).

            9.2    Purchase Price.    No monetary payment (other than applicable tax withholding, if any) shall be required as a condition of receiving a Restricted Stock Unit Award, the consideration for which shall be services actually rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if required by applicable state corporate law, the Participant shall furnish consideration in the form of cash or past services rendered to a Participating Company or for its benefit having a value not less than the par value of the shares of Stock issued upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Unit Award.

            9.3    Vesting.    Restricted Stock Unit Awards may (but need not) be made subject to Vesting Conditions based upon the satisfaction of such Service requirements, conditions, restrictions or performance criteria, including, without limitation, Performance Goals as described in Section 10.4, as shall be established by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Award.

            9.4    Voting Rights, Dividend Equivalent Rights and Distributions.    Participants shall have no voting rights with respect to shares of Stock represented by Restricted Stock Units until the date of the issuance of such shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). However, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide in the Award Agreement evidencing any Restricted Stock Unit Award that the Participant shall be entitled to Dividend Equivalent Rights with respect to the payment of cash dividends on Stock during the period beginning on the date such Award is granted and ending, with respect to each share subject to the Award, on the earlier of the date the Award is settled or the date on which it is terminated. Dividend Equivalent Rights, if any, shall be paid by crediting the Participant with a cash amount or with additional whole Restricted Stock Units as of the date of payment of such cash dividends on Stock, as determined by the Committee. The number of additional Restricted Stock Units (rounded to the nearest whole number), if any, to be credited shall be determined by dividing (a) the amount of cash dividends paid on the dividend payment date with respect to the number of shares of Stock represented by the Restricted Stock Units previously credited to the Participant by (b) the Fair Market Value per share of Stock on such date. If so determined by the Committee and provided by the Award Agreement, such cash amount or additional Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the same terms and conditions and shall be settled in the same manner and at the same time as the Restricted Stock Units originally

I-17


Table of Contents

    subject to the Restricted Stock Unit Award. In the event of a dividend or distribution paid in shares of Stock or other property or any other adjustment made upon a change in the capital structure of the Company as described in Section 4.3, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the Participant's Restricted Stock Unit Award so that it represents the right to receive upon settlement any and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property (other than regular, periodic cash dividends) to which the Participant would be entitled by reason of the shares of Stock issuable upon settlement of the Award, and all such new, substituted or additional securities or other property shall be immediately subject to the same Vesting Conditions as are applicable to the Award.

            9.5    Effect of Termination of Service.    Unless otherwise provided by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing a Restricted Stock Unit Award, if a Participant's Service terminates for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary (including the Participant's death or disability), then the Participant shall forfeit to the Company any Restricted Stock Units pursuant to the Award which remain subject to Vesting Conditions as of the date of the Participant's termination of Service.

            9.6    Settlement of Restricted Stock Unit Awards.    The Company shall issue to a Participant on the date on which Restricted Stock Units subject to the Participant's Restricted Stock Unit Award vest or on such other date determined by the Committee in compliance with Section 409A, if applicable, and set forth in the Award Agreement one (1) share of Stock (and/or any other new, substituted or additional securities or other property pursuant to an adjustment described in Section 9.4) for each Restricted Stock Unit then becoming vested or otherwise to be settled on such date, subject to the withholding of applicable taxes, if any. The Committee, in its discretion, may provide in any Award Agreement evidencing a Restricted Stock Unit Award that if the settlement date with respect to any shares issuable upon vesting of Restricted Stock Units would otherwise occur on a day on which the sale of such shares would violate the provisions of the Trading Compliance Policy, then the settlement date shall be deferred until the next trading day on which the sale of such shares would not violate the Trading Compliance Policy but in any event no later than the 15th day of the third calendar month following the year in which such Restricted Stock Units vest. If permitted by the Committee, the Participant may elect, consistent with the requirements of Section 409A, to defer receipt of all or any portion of the shares of Stock or other property otherwise issuable to the Participant pursuant to this Section, and such deferred issuance date(s) and amount(s) elected by the Participant shall be set forth in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide for settlement of any Restricted Stock Unit Award by payment to the Participant in cash of an amount equal to the Fair Market Value on the payment date of the shares of Stock or other property otherwise issuable to the Participant pursuant to this Section.

            9.7    Nontransferability of Restricted Stock Unit Awards.    The right to receive shares pursuant to a Restricted Stock Unit Award shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant's beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. All rights with respect to a Restricted Stock Unit Award granted to a Participant hereunder shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant or the Participant's guardian or legal representative.

        10.    PERFORMANCE AWARDS.    

        Performance Awards shall be evidenced by Award Agreements in such form as the Committee shall establish. Such Award Agreements may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

            10.1    Types of Performance Awards Authorized.    Performance Awards may be granted in the form of either Performance Shares or Performance Units. Each Award Agreement evidencing a Performance Award shall specify the number of Performance Shares or Performance Units subject thereto, the Performance Award Formula, the Performance Goal(s) and Performance Period applicable to the Award, and the other terms, conditions and restrictions of the Award.

            10.2    Initial Value of Performance Shares and Performance Units.    Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in granting a Performance Award, each Performance Share shall have an initial monetary value equal to the Fair Market Value of one (1) share of Stock, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.3, on the effective date of grant of the Performance Share, and each Performance Unit shall have an initial monetary value established by the Committee at the time of grant. The final value payable to the Participant in settlement of a Performance Award determined on the basis of the applicable Performance Award Formula will depend on the extent to which Performance Goals established by the Committee are attained within the applicable Performance Period established by the Committee.

            10.3    Establishment of Performance Period, Performance Goals and Performance Award Formula.    In granting each Performance Award, the Committee shall establish in writing the applicable Performance Period, Performance Award Formula and one or more Performance Goals which, when measured at the end of the Performance Period, shall determine on the basis of the Performance Award Formula the final value of the Performance Award to be paid to the Participant. The Company shall notify each Participant granted a Performance Award of the terms of such Award, including the Performance Period, Performance Goal(s) and Performance Award Formula.

            10.4    Measurement of Performance Goals.    Performance Goals shall be established by the Committee on the basis of targets to be attained ("Performance Targets") with respect to one or more measures of business or financial performance or other criteria established by the Committee (each, a "Performance Measure"), subject to the following:

              (a)    Performance Measures.    Performance Measures based on objective criteria shall be calculated in accordance with the Company's financial statements, or, if such measures are not reported in the Company's financial statements, they shall be calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, a method used generally in the Company's industry, or in accordance with a methodology established by the Committee prior to the grant of the Performance Award. Performance Measures based on subjective criteria shall be determined on the basis established by the Committee in granting the Award. As specified by the Committee, Performance Measures may be calculated with respect to the Company and each Subsidiary Corporation consolidated therewith for financial reporting purposes, one or more Subsidiary Corporations or such division or other business unit of any of them selected by the Committee. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee prior to the grant of the Performance Award, the Performance Measures applicable to the Performance Award shall be calculated prior to the accrual of expense for any Performance Award for the same Performance Period and excluding the effect (whether positive or negative) on the Performance Measures of any change in accounting standards or any unusual or infrequently occurring event or transaction, as determined by the Committee, occurring after the establishment of the Performance Goals applicable to the Performance Award. Each such adjustment, if any, shall be made solely for the purpose of providing a consistent basis from

I-19


Table of Contents

      period to period for the calculation of Performance Measures in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the Participant's rights with respect to a Performance Award. Performance Measures may be based upon one or more of the following, without limitation, as determined by the Committee:

                  (i)  revenue;

                 (ii)  sales;

                (iii)  expenses;

                (iv)  operating income;

                 (v)  gross margin;

              (viii)  pre-tax profit;

                (ix)  net operating income;

                 (x)  net income;

                (xi)  economic value added;

               (xii)  free cash flow;

              (xiii)  operating cash flow;

              (xiv)  balance of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities;

               (xv)  stock price;

              (b)    Performance Targets.    Performance Targets may include a minimum, maximum, target level and intermediate levels of performance, with the final value of a Performance Award determined under the applicable Performance Award Formula by the Performance Target level attained during the applicable Performance Period. A Performance Target may be stated as an absolute value, an increase or decrease in a value, or as a value determined relative to an index, budget or other standard selected by the Committee.

            10.5    Settlement of Performance Awards.    

              (a)    Determination of Final Value.    As soon as practicable following the completion of the Performance Period applicable to a Performance Award, the Committee shall determine the extent to which the applicable Performance Goals have been attained and the resulting final value of the Award earned by the Participant and to be paid upon its settlement in accordance with the applicable Performance Award Formula.

              (b)    Discretionary Adjustment of Award Formula.    In its discretion, the Committee may, either at the time it grants a Performance Award or at any time thereafter, provide for the positive or negative adjustment of the Performance Award Formula applicable to a Performance Award to reflect such Participant's individual performance in his or her position with the Company or such other factors as the Committee may determine.

              (c)    Effect of Leaves of Absence.    Unless otherwise required by law or a Participant's Award Agreement, payment of the final value, if any, of a Performance Award held by a Participant who has taken in excess of thirty (30) days in unpaid leaves of absence during a Performance Period shall be prorated on the basis of the number of days of the Participant's Service during the Performance Period during which the Participant was not on an unpaid leave of absence.

              (d)    Notice to Participants.    As soon as practicable following the Committee's determination in accordance with Sections 10.5(a) and (b), the Company shall notify each Participant of the determination of the Committee.

              (e)    Payment in Settlement of Performance Awards.    As soon as practicable following the Committee's determination in accordance with Sections 10.5(a) and (b), but in any event within the Short-Term Deferral Period described in Section 15.1 (except as otherwise provided below or consistent with the requirements of Section 409A), payment shall be made to each eligible Participant (or such Participant's legal representative or other person who acquired the right to receive such payment by reason of the Participant's death) of the final value of the Participant's Performance Award. Payment of such amount shall be made in cash, shares of Stock, or a combination thereof as determined by the Committee. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement evidencing a Performance Award, payment shall be made in a lump sum. If permitted by the Committee, the Participant may elect, consistent with the requirements of Section 409A, to defer receipt of all or any portion of the payment to be made to the Participant pursuant to this Section, and such deferred payment date(s) elected by the Participant shall be set forth in the Award Agreement. If any payment is to be made on a deferred basis, the Committee may, but shall not be obligated to, provide for the payment during the deferral period of Dividend Equivalent Rights or interest.

              (f)    Provisions Applicable to Payment in Shares.    If payment is to be made in shares of Stock, the number of such shares shall be determined by dividing the final value of the Performance Award by the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock determined by the method specified in the Award Agreement. Shares of Stock issued in payment of any Performance Award may be fully vested and freely transferable shares or may be shares of Stock subject to Vesting Conditions as provided in Section 8.5. Any shares subject to Vesting Conditions shall

I-21


Table of Contents

      be evidenced by an appropriate Award Agreement and shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 8.5 through 8.8 above.

            10.6    Voting Rights; Dividend Equivalent Rights and Distributions.    Participants shall have no voting rights with respect to shares of Stock represented by Performance Share Awards until the date of the issuance of such shares, if any (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). However, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide in the Award Agreement evidencing any Performance Share Award that the Participant shall be entitled to Dividend Equivalent Rights with respect to the payment of cash dividends on Stock during the period beginning on the date the Award is granted and ending, with respect to each share subject to the Award, on the earlier of the date on which the Performance Shares are settled or the date on which they are forfeited. Such Dividend Equivalent Rights, if any, shall be credited to the Participant either in cash or in the form of additional whole Performance Shares as of the date of payment of such cash dividends on Stock, as determined by the Committee. The number of additional Performance Shares (rounded to the nearest whole number), if any, to be so credited shall be determined by dividing (a) the amount of cash dividends paid on the dividend payment date with respect to the number of shares of Stock represented by the Performance Shares previously credited to the Participant by (b) the Fair Market Value per share of Stock on such date. Dividend Equivalent Rights, if any, shall be accumulated and paid to the extent that the related Performance Shares become nonforfeitable. Settlement of Dividend Equivalent Rights may be made in cash, shares of Stock, or a combination thereof as determined by the Committee, and may be paid on the same basis as settlement of the related Performance Share as provided in Section 10.5. Dividend Equivalent Rights shall not be paid with respect to Performance Units. In the event of a dividend or distribution paid in shares of Stock or other property or any other adjustment made upon a change in the capital structure of the Company as described in Section 4.3, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the Participant's Performance Share Award so that it represents the right to receive upon settlement any and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property (other than regular, periodic cash dividends) to which the Participant would be entitled by reason of the shares of Stock issuable upon settlement of the Performance Share Award, and all such new, substituted or additional securities or other property shall be immediately subject to the same Performance Goals as are applicable to the Award.

            10.7    Effect of Termination of Service.    Unless otherwise provided by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing a Performance Award, the effect of a Participant's termination of Service on the Performance Award shall be as follows:

              (a)    Death or Disability.    If the Participant's Service terminates because of the death or Disability of the Participant before the completion of the Performance Period applicable to the Performance Award, the final value of the Participant's Performance Award shall be determined by the extent to which the applicable Performance Goals have been attained with respect to the entire Performance Period and shall be prorated based on the number of months of the Participant's Service during the Performance Period. Payment shall be made following the end of the Performance Period in any manner permitted by Section 10.5.

              (b)    Other Termination of Service.    If the Participant's Service terminates for any reason except death or Disability before the completion of the Performance Period applicable to the Performance Award, such Award shall be forfeited in its entirety; provided, however, that in the event of an involuntary termination of the Participant's Service, the Committee, in its discretion, may waive the automatic forfeiture of all or any portion of any such Award and determine the final value of the Performance Award in the manner provided by Section 10.7(a). Payment of any amount pursuant to this Section shall be made following the end of the Performance Period in any manner permitted by Section 10.5.

I-22


Table of Contents

            10.8    Nontransferability of Performance Awards.    Prior to settlement in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, no Performance Award shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant's beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. All rights with respect to a Performance Award granted to a Participant hereunder shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant or the Participant's guardian or legal representative.

        11.    CASH-BASED AWARDS AND OTHER STOCK-BASED AWARDS.    

        Cash-Based Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards shall be evidenced by Award Agreements in such form as the Committee shall establish. Such Award Agreements may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

            11.1    Grant of Cash-Based Awards.    Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant Cash-Based Awards to Participants in such amounts and upon such terms and conditions, including the achievement of performance criteria, as the Committee may determine.

            11.2    Grant of Other Stock-Based Awards.    The Committee may grant other types of equity-based or equity-related Awards not otherwise described by the terms of this Plan (including the grant or offer for sale of unrestricted securities, stock-equivalent units, stock appreciation units, securities or debentures convertible into common stock or other forms determined by the Committee) in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine. Other Stock-Based Awards may be made available as a form of payment in the settlement of other Awards or as payment in lieu of compensation to which a Participant is otherwise entitled. Other Stock-Based Awards may involve the transfer of actual shares of Stock to Participants, or payment in cash or otherwise of amounts based on the value of Stock and may include, without limitation, Awards designed to comply with or take advantage of the applicable local laws of jurisdictions other than the United States.

            11.3    Value of Cash-Based and Other Stock-Based Awards.    Each Cash-Based Award shall specify a monetary payment amount or payment range as determined by the Committee. Each Other Stock-Based Award shall be expressed in terms of shares of Stock or units based on such shares of Stock, as determined by the Committee. The Committee may require the satisfaction of such Service requirements, conditions, restrictions or performance criteria, including, without limitation, Performance Goals as described in Section 10.4, as shall be established by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Award. If the Committee exercises its discretion to establish performance criteria, the final value of Cash-Based Awards or Other Stock-Based Awards that will be paid to the Participant will depend on the extent to which the performance criteria are met.

            11.4    Payment or Settlement of Cash-Based Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards.    Payment or settlement, if any, with respect to a Cash-Based Award or an Other Stock-Based Award shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Award, in cash, shares of Stock or other securities or any combination thereof as the Committee determines. To the extent applicable, payment or settlement with respect to each Cash-Based Award and Other Stock-Based Award shall be made in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A.

I-23


Table of Contents

            11.5    Voting Rights; Dividend Equivalent Rights and Distributions.    Participants shall have no voting rights with respect to shares of Stock represented by Other Stock-Based Awards until the date of the issuance of such shares of Stock (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), if any, in settlement of such Award. However, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide in the Award Agreement evidencing any Other Stock-Based Award that the Participant shall be entitled to Dividend Equivalent Rights with respect to the payment of cash dividends on Stock during the period beginning on the date such Award is granted and ending, with respect to each share subject to the Award, on the earlier of the date the Award is settled or the date on which it is terminated. Such Dividend Equivalent Rights, if any, shall be paid in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 9.4. Dividend Equivalent Rights shall not be granted with respect to Cash-Based Awards. In the event of a dividend or distribution paid in shares of Stock or other property or any other adjustment made upon a change in the capital structure of the Company as described in Section 4.3, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the Participant's Other Stock-Based Award so that it represents the right to receive upon settlement any and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property (other than regular, periodic cash dividends) to which the Participant would be entitled by reason of the shares of Stock issuable upon settlement of such Award, and all such new, substituted or additional securities or other property shall be immediately subject to the same Vesting Conditions and performance criteria, if any, as are applicable to the Award.

            11.6    Effect of Termination of Service.    Each Award Agreement evidencing a Cash-Based Award or Other Stock-Based Award shall set forth the extent to which the Participant shall have the right to retain such Award following termination of the Participant's Service. Such provisions shall be determined in the discretion of the Committee, need not be uniform among all Cash-Based Awards or Other Stock-Based Awards, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination, subject to the requirements of Section 409A, if applicable.

            11.7    Nontransferability of Cash-Based Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards.    Prior to the payment or settlement of a Cash-Based Award or Other Stock-Based Award, the Award shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant's beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The Committee may impose such additional restrictions on any shares of Stock issued in settlement of Cash-Based Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation, minimum holding period requirements, restrictions under applicable federal securities laws, under the requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which such shares of Stock are then listed and/or traded, or under any state securities laws or foreign law applicable to such shares of Stock.

        12.    STANDARD FORMS OF AWARD AGREEMENT.    

            12.1    Award Agreements.    Each Award shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the appropriate form of Award Agreement approved by the Committee and as amended from time to time. No Award or purported Award shall be a valid and binding obligation of the Company unless evidenced by a fully executed Award Agreement, which execution may be evidenced by electronic means.

            12.2    Authority to Vary Terms.    The Committee shall have the authority from time to time to vary the terms of any standard form of Award Agreement either in connection with the grant or amendment of an individual Award or in connection with the authorization of a new standard form or forms; provided, however, that the terms and conditions of any such new, revised or amended standard form or forms of Award Agreement are not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan.

        13.    CHANGE IN CONTROL.    

            13.1    Effect of Change in Control on Awards.    In the event of a Change in Control, outstanding Awards shall be subject to the definitive agreement entered into by the Company in connection with the Change in Control. Subject to the requirements and limitations of Section 409A, if applicable, the Committee may provide for any one or more of the following:

              (a)    Accelerated Vesting.    In its discretion, the Committee may provide in the grant of any Award or at any other time may take such action as it deems appropriate to provide for acceleration of the exercisability, vesting and/or settlement in connection with a Change in Control of each or any outstanding Award or portion thereof and shares acquired pursuant thereto upon such conditions, including termination of the Participant's Service prior to, upon, or following the Change in Control, and to such extent as the Committee determines.

              (b)    Assumption, Continuation or Substitution.    In the event of a Change in Control, the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing corporation or other business entity or parent thereof, as the case may be (the "Acquiror"), may, without the consent of any Participant, assume or continue the Company's rights and obligations under each or any Award or portion thereof outstanding immediately prior to the Change in Control or substitute for each or any such outstanding Award or portion thereof a substantially equivalent award with respect to the Acquiror's stock, as applicable. For purposes of this Section, if so determined by the Committee in its discretion, an Award denominated in shares of Stock shall be deemed assumed if, following the Change in Control, the Award confers the right to receive, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, for each share of Stock subject to the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, other securities or property or a combination thereof) to which a holder of a share of Stock on the effective date of the Change in Control was entitled (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Stock); provided, however, that if such consideration is not solely common stock of the Acquiror, the Committee may, with the consent of the Acquiror, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise or settlement of the Award, for each share of Stock subject to the Award, to consist solely of common stock of the Acquiror equal in Fair Market Value to the per share consideration received by holders of Stock pursuant to the Change in Control. Any Award or portion thereof which is neither assumed or continued by the Acquiror in connection with the Change in Control nor exercised or settled as of the time of consummation of the Change in Control shall terminate and cease to be outstanding effective as of the time of consummation of the Change in Control.

              (c)    Cash-Out of Outstanding Stock-Based Awards.    The Committee may, in its discretion and without the consent of any Participant, determine that, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, each or any Award denominated in shares of Stock or portion thereof outstanding immediately prior to the Change in Control and not previously exercised or settled shall be canceled in exchange for a payment with respect to each vested share (and each unvested share, if so determined by the Committee) of Stock subject to such canceled Award in (i) cash, (ii) stock of the Company or of a corporation or other business entity a party to the Change in Control, or (iii) other property which, in any such case, shall be in an amount having a Fair Market Value equal to the Fair Market Value of the consideration to be paid per share of Stock in the Change in Control, reduced (but not below zero) by the exercise or purchase price per share, if any, under such Award. In the event such determination is made by the Committee, an Award having an exercise or purchase price per share equal to or greater than the Fair Market Value of the consideration to be paid per share of Stock in the Change in Control may be canceled without payment of consideration to the

I-25


Table of Contents

      holder thereof. Payment pursuant to this Section (reduced by applicable withholding taxes, if any) shall be made to Participants in respect of the vested portions of their canceled Awards as soon as practicable following the date of the Change in Control and in respect of the unvested portions of their canceled Awards in accordance with the vesting schedules applicable to such Awards.

            13.2    Effect of Change in Control on Nonemployee Director Awards.    Subject to the requirements and limitations of Section 409A, if applicable, including as provided by Section 15.4(f), in the event of a Change in Control, each outstanding Nonemployee Director Award shall become immediately exercisable and vested in full and, except to the extent assumed, continued or substituted for pursuant to Section 13.1(b), shall be settled effective immediately prior to the time of consummation of the Change in Control.

            13.3    Federal Excise Tax Under Section 4999 of the Code.    

              (a)    Excess Parachute Payment.    If any acceleration of vesting pursuant to an Award and any other payment or benefit received or to be received by a Participant would subject the Participant to any excise tax pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code due to the characterization of such acceleration of vesting, payment or benefit as an "excess parachute payment" under Section 280G of the Code, then, provided such election would not subject the Participant to taxation under Section 409A, the Participant may elect to reduce the amount of any acceleration of vesting called for under the Award in order to avoid such characterization.

              (b)    Determination by Tax Firm.    To aid the Participant in making any election called for under Section 13.3(a), no later than the date of the occurrence of any event that might reasonably be anticipated to result in an "excess parachute payment" to the Participant as described in Section 13.3(a), the Company shall request a determination in writing by the professional firm engaged by the Company for general tax purposes, or, if the tax firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the Acquiror, the Company will appoint a nationally recognized tax firm to make the determinations required by this Section (the "Tax Firm"). As soon as practicable thereafter, the Tax Firm shall determine and report to the Company and the Participant the amount of such acceleration of vesting, payments and benefits which would produce the greatest after-tax benefit to the Participant. For the purposes of such determination, the Tax Firm may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and the Participant shall furnish to the Tax Firm such information and documents as the Tax Firm may reasonably request in order to make its required determination. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses the Tax Firm charges in connection with its services contemplated by this Section.

        14.    COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAW.    

        The grant of Awards and the issuance of shares of Stock pursuant to any Award shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state and foreign law with respect to such securities and the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. In addition, no Award may be exercised or shares issued pursuant to an Award unless (a) a registration statement under the Securities Act shall at the time of such exercise or issuance be in effect with respect to the shares issuable pursuant to the Award, or (b) in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, the shares issuable pursuant to the Award may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company's legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares under the Plan shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to issuance of any Stock,

I-26


Table of Contents

the Company may require the Participant to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company.

        15.    COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A.    

            15.1    Awards Subject to Section 409A.    The Company intends that Awards granted pursuant to the Plan shall either be exempt from or comply with Section 409A, and the Plan shall be so construed. The provisions of this Section 15 shall apply to any Award or portion thereof that constitutes or provides for payment of Section 409A Deferred Compensation. Such Awards may include, without limitation:

              (a)   A Nonstatutory Stock Option or SAR that includes any feature for the deferral of compensation other than the deferral of recognition of income until the later of (i) the exercise or disposition of the Award or (ii) the time the stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Award first becomes substantially vested.

              (b)   Any Restricted Stock Unit Award, Performance Award, Cash-Based Award or Other Stock-Based Award that either (i) provides by its terms for settlement of all or any portion of the Award at a time or upon an event that will or may occur later than the end of the Short-Term Deferral Period (as defined below) or (ii) permits the Participant granted the Award to elect one or more dates or events upon which the Award will be settled after the end of the Short-Term Deferral Period.

    Subject to the provisions of Section 409A, the term "Short-Term Deferral Period" means the 21/2 month period ending on the later of (i) the 15th day of the third month following the end of the Participant's taxable year in which the right to payment under the applicable portion of the Award is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture or (ii) the 15th day of the third month following the end of the Company's taxable year in which the right to payment under the applicable portion of the Award is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. For this purpose, the term "substantial risk of forfeiture" shall have the meaning provided by Section 409A.

            15.2    Deferral and/or Distribution Elections.    Except as otherwise permitted or required by Section 409A, the following rules shall apply to any compensation deferral and/or payment elections (each, an "Election") that may be permitted or required by the Committee pursuant to an Award providing Section 409A Deferred Compensation:

              (a)   Elections must be in writing and specify the amount of the payment in settlement of an Award being deferred, as well as the time and form of payment as permitted by this Plan.

              (b)   Elections shall be made by the end of the Participant's taxable year prior to the year in which services commence for which an Award may be granted to the Participant.

              (c)   Elections shall continue in effect until a written revocation or change in Election is received by the Company, except that a written revocation or change in Election must be received by the Company prior to the last day for making the Election determined in accordance with paragraph (b) above or as permitted by Section 15.3.

            15.3    Subsequent Elections.    Except as otherwise permitted or required by Section 409A, any Award providing Section 409A Deferred Compensation which permits a subsequent Election to delay the payment or change the form of payment in settlement of such Award shall comply with the following requirements:

              (a)   No subsequent Election may take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the subsequent Election is made.

I-27


Table of Contents

              (b)   Each subsequent Election related to a payment in settlement of an Award not described in Section 15.4(a)(ii), 15.4(a)(iii) or 15.4(a)(vi) must result in a delay of the payment for a period of not less than five (5) years from the date on which such payment would otherwise have been made.

              (c)   No subsequent Election related to a payment pursuant to Section 15.4(a)(iv) shall be made less than twelve (12) months before the date on which such payment would otherwise have been made.

              (d)   Subsequent Elections shall continue in effect until a written revocation or change in the subsequent Election is received by the Company, except that a written revocation or change in a subsequent Election must be received by the Company prior to the last day for making the subsequent Election determined in accordance the preceding paragraphs of this Section 15.3.

            15.4    Payment of Section 409A Deferred Compensation.    

              (a)    Permissible Payments.    Except as otherwise permitted or required by Section 409A, an Award providing Section 409A Deferred Compensation must provide for payment in settlement of the Award only upon one or more of the following:

                  (i)  The Participant's "separation from service" (as defined by Section 409A);

                 (ii)  The Participant's becoming "disabled" (as defined by Section 409A);

                (iii)  The Participant's death;

                (iv)  A time or fixed schedule that is either (i) specified by the Committee upon the grant of an Award and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such Award or (ii) specified by the Participant in an Election complying with the requirements of Section 15.2 or 15.3, as applicable;

                 (v)  A change in the ownership or effective control or the Company or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company determined in accordance with Section 409A; or

                (vi)  The occurrence of an "unforeseeable emergency" (as defined by Section 409A).

              (b)    Installment Payments.    It is the intent of this Plan that any right of a Participant to receive installment payments (within the meaning of Section 409A) shall, for all purposes of Section 409A, be treated as a right to a series of separate payments.

              (c)    Required Delay in Payment to Specified Employee Pursuant to Separation from Service.    Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or an Award Agreement to the contrary, except as otherwise permitted by Section 409A, no payment pursuant to Section 15.4(a)(i) in settlement of an Award providing for Section 409A Deferred Compensation may be made to a Participant who is a "specified employee" (as defined by Section 409A) as of the date of the Participant's separation from service before the date (the "Delayed Payment Date") that is six (6) months after the date of such Participant's separation from service, or, if earlier, the date of the Participant's death. All such amounts that would, but for this paragraph, become payable prior to the Delayed Payment Date shall be accumulated and paid on the Delayed Payment Date.

              (d)    Payment Upon Disability.    All distributions of Section 409A Deferred Compensation payable pursuant to Section 15.4(a)(ii) by reason of a Participant becoming disabled shall be paid in a lump sum or in periodic installments as established by the Participant's Election. If the Participant has made no Election with respect to distributions of Section 409A Deferred

I-28


Table of Contents

      Compensation upon becoming disabled, all such distributions shall be paid in a lump sum upon the determination that the Participant has become disabled.

              (e)    Payment Upon Death.    If a Participant dies before complete distribution of amounts payable upon settlement of an Award subject to Section 409A, such undistributed amounts shall be distributed to his or her beneficiary under the distribution method for death established by the Participant's Election upon receipt by the Committee of satisfactory notice and confirmation of the Participant's death. If the Participant has made no Election with respect to distributions of Section 409A Deferred Compensation upon death, all such distributions shall be paid in a lump sum upon receipt by the Committee of satisfactory notice and confirmation of the Participant's death.

              (f)    Payment Upon Change in Control.    Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or an Award Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any amount constituting Section 409A Deferred Compensation would become payable under this Plan by reason of a Change in Control, such amount shall become payable only if the event constituting a Change in Control would also constitute a change in ownership or effective control of the Company or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company within the meaning of Section 409A. Any Award which constitutes Section 409A Deferred Compensation and which would vest and otherwise become payable upon a Change in Control as a result of the failure of the Acquiror to assume, continue or substitute for such Award in accordance with Section 13.1(b) shall vest to the extent provided by such Award but shall be converted automatically at the effective time of such Change in Control into a right to receive, in cash on the date or dates such award would have been settled in accordance with its then existing settlement schedule (or as required by Section 15.4(c)), an amount or amounts equal in the aggregate to the intrinsic value of the Award at the time of the Change in Control.

              (g)    Payment Upon Unforeseeable Emergency.    The Committee shall have the authority to provide in the Award Agreement evidencing any Award providing for Section 409A Deferred Compensation for payment pursuant to Section 15.4(a)(vi) in settlement of all or a portion of such Award in the event that a Participant establishes, to the satisfaction of the Committee, the occurrence of an unforeseeable emergency. In such event, the amount(s) distributed with respect to such unforeseeable emergency cannot exceed the amounts reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result of such distribution(s), after taking into account the extent to which such emergency need is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the Participant's assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not itself cause severe financial hardship) or by cessation of deferrals under the Award. All distributions with respect to an unforeseeable emergency shall be made in a lump sum upon the Committee's determination that an unforeseeable emergency has occurred. The Committee's decision with respect to whether an unforeseeable emergency has occurred and the manner in which, if at all, the payment in settlement of an Award shall be altered or modified, shall be final, conclusive, and not subject to approval or appeal.

              (h)    Prohibition of Acceleration of Payments.    Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or an Award Agreement to the contrary, this Plan does not permit the acceleration of the time or schedule of any payment under an Award providing Section 409A Deferred Compensation, except as permitted by Section 409A.

              (i)    No Representation Regarding Section 409A Compliance.    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company makes no representation that Awards shall be exempt from or comply with Section 409A. No Participating Company shall be liable for any tax, penalty or interest imposed on a Participant by Section 409A.

        16.    TAX WITHHOLDING.    

            16.1    Tax Withholding in General.    The Company shall have the right to deduct from any and all payments made under the Plan, or to require the Participant, through payroll withholding, cash payment or otherwise, to make adequate provision for, the federal, state, local and foreign taxes (including social insurance), if any, required by law to be withheld by any Participating Company with respect to an Award or the shares acquired pursuant thereto. The Company shall have no obligation to deliver shares of Stock, to release shares of Stock from an escrow established pursuant to an Award Agreement, or to make any payment in cash under the Plan until the Participating Company Group's tax withholding obligations have been satisfied by the Participant.

            16.2    Withholding in or Directed Sale of Shares.    The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to deduct from the shares of Stock issuable to a Participant upon the exercise or settlement of an Award, or to accept from the Participant the tender of, a number of whole shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value, as determined by the Company, equal to all or any part of the tax withholding obligations of any Participating Company. The Fair Market Value of any shares of Stock withheld or tendered to satisfy any such tax withholding obligations shall not exceed the amount determined by the applicable minimum statutory withholding rates (or the maximum individual statutory withholding rates for the applicable jurisdiction if use of such rates would not result in adverse accounting consequences or cost). The Company may require a Participant to direct a broker, upon the vesting, exercise or settlement of an Award, to sell a portion of the shares subject to the Award determined by the Company in its discretion to be sufficient to cover the tax withholding obligations of any Participating Company and to remit an amount equal to such tax withholding obligations to such Participating Company in cash.

        17.    AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION OF PLAN.    

        The Committee may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. However, without the approval of the Company's stockholders, there shall be (a) no increase in the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan (except by operation of the provisions of Sections 4.2 and 4.3), (b) no change in the class of persons eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options, and (c) no other amendment of the Plan that would require approval of the Company's stockholders under any applicable law, regulation or rule, including the rules of any stock exchange or quotation system upon which the Stock may then be listed or quoted. No amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall affect any then outstanding Award unless expressly provided by the Committee. Except as provided by the next sentence, no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan may have a materially adverse effect on any then outstanding Award without the consent of the Participant. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, the Committee may, in its sole and absolute discretion and without the consent of any Participant, amend the Plan or any Award Agreement, to take effect retroactively or otherwise, as it deems necessary or advisable for the purpose of conforming the Plan or such Award Agreement to any present or future law, regulation or rule applicable to the Plan, including, but not limited to, Section 409A.

        18.    MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.    

            18.1    Repurchase Rights.    Shares issued under the Plan may be subject to one or more repurchase options, or other conditions and restrictions as determined by the Committee in its discretion at the time the Award is granted. The Company shall have the right to assign at any time any repurchase right it may have, whether or not such right is then exercisable, to one or more persons as may be selected by the Company. Upon request by the Company, each Participant shall execute any agreement evidencing such transfer restrictions prior to the receipt of shares of Stock hereunder and shall promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing shares of Stock acquired hereunder for the placement on such certificates of appropriate legends evidencing any such transfer restrictions.

            18.2    Forfeiture Events.    

              (a)   The Committee may specify in an Award Agreement that the Participant's rights, payments, and benefits with respect to an Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, or recoupment upon the occurrence of specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of an Award. Such events may include, but shall not be limited to, termination of Service for Cause or any act by a Participant, whether before or after termination of Service, that would constitute Cause for termination of Service, or any accounting restatement due to material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirements of securities laws as a result of which, and to the extent that, such reduction, cancellation, forfeiture, or recoupment is required by applicable securities laws. In addition, to the extent that claw-back or similar provisions applicable to Awards are required by applicable law, listing standards and/or policies adopted by the Company, Awards granted under the Plan shall be subject to such provisions.

              (b)   If the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, any Participant who knowingly or through gross negligence engaged in the misconduct, or who knowingly or through gross negligence failed to prevent the misconduct, and any Participant who is one of the individuals subject to automatic forfeiture under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, shall reimburse the Company for (i) the amount of any payment in settlement of an Award received by such Participant during the twelve- (12-) month period following the first public issuance or filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (whichever first occurred) of the financial document embodying such financial reporting requirement, and (ii) any profits realized by such Participant from the sale of securities of the Company during such twelve- (12-) month period.

            18.3    Provision of Information.    Each Participant shall be given access to information concerning the Company equivalent to that information generally made available to the Company's common stockholders.

            18.4    Rights as Employee, Consultant or Director.    No person, even though eligible pursuant to Section 5, shall have a right to be selected as a Participant, or, having been so selected, to be selected again as a Participant. Nothing in the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan shall confer on any Participant a right to remain an Employee, Consultant or Director or interfere with or limit in any way any right of a Participating Company to terminate the Participant's Service at any time. To the extent that an Employee of a Participating Company other than the Company receives an Award under the Plan, that Award shall in no event be understood or interpreted to mean that the Company is the Employee's employer or that the Employee has an employment relationship with the Company.

            18.5    Rights as a Stockholder.    A Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by an Award until the date of the issuance of such shares (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such shares are issued, except as provided in Section 4 or another provision of the Plan.

Table of Contents

            18.6    Delivery of Title to Shares.    Subject to any governing rules or regulations, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued the shares of Stock acquired pursuant to an Award and shall deliver such shares to or for the benefit of the Participant by means of one or more of the following: (a) by delivering to the Participant evidence of book entry shares of Stock credited to the account of the Participant, (b) by depositing such shares of Stock for the benefit of the Participant with any broker with which the Participant has an account relationship, or (c) by delivering such shares of Stock to the Participant in certificate form.

            18.7    Fractional Shares.    The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares upon the exercise or settlement of any Award.

            18.8    Retirement and Welfare Plans.    Neither Awards made under this Plan nor shares of Stock or cash paid pursuant to such Awards may be included as "compensation" for purposes of computing the benefits payable to any Participant under any Participating Company's retirement plans (both qualified and non-qualified) or welfare benefit plans unless such other plan expressly provides that such compensation shall be taken into account in computing a Participant's benefit. In addition, unless a written employment agreement or other service agreement specifically references Awards, a general reference to "benefits" or a similar term in such agreement shall not be deemed to refer to Awards granted hereunder.

            18.9    Beneficiary Designation.    Subject to local laws and procedures, each Participant may file with the Company a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any benefit under the Plan to which the Participant is entitled in the event of such Participant's death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Company, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Company during the Participant's lifetime. If a married Participant designates a beneficiary other than the Participant's spouse, the effectiveness of such designation may be subject to the consent of the Participant's spouse. If a Participant dies without an effective designation of a beneficiary who is living at the time of the Participant's death, the Company will pay any remaining unpaid benefits to the Participant's legal representative.

            18.10    Severability.    If any one or more of the provisions (or any part thereof) of this Plan shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be modified so as to make it valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions (or any part thereof) of the Plan shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

            18.11    No Constraint on Corporate Action.    Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to: (a) limit, impair, or otherwise affect the Company's or another Participating Company's right or power to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations, or changes of its capital or business structure, or to merge or consolidate, or dissolve, liquidate, sell, or transfer all or any part of its business or assets; or (b) limit the right or power of the Company or another Participating Company to take any action which such entity deems to be necessary or appropriate.

            18.12    Unfunded Obligation.    Participants shall have the status of general unsecured creditors of the Company. Any amounts payable to Participants pursuant to the Plan shall be considered unfunded and unsecured obligations for all purposes, including, without limitation, Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. No Participating Company shall be required to segregate any monies from its general funds, or to create any trusts, or establish any special accounts with respect to such obligations. The Company shall retain at all times beneficial ownership of any investments, including trust investments, which the Company may make to fulfill its payment obligations hereunder. Any investments or the creation or maintenance of any trust or any Participant account shall not create or constitute a trust or fiduciary relationship between the Committee or any Participating Company and a Participant, or otherwise create any vested or beneficial interest in any Participant or the Participant's creditors in any assets of any Participating

    Company. The Participants shall have no claim against any Participating Company for any changes in the value of any assets which may be invested or reinvested by the Company with respect to the Plan.

            18.13    Choice of Law.    Except to the extent governed by applicable federal law, the validity, interpretation, construction and performance of the Plan and each Award Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law rules.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

        WHEREAS, Parent and the Stockholder Representative are parties to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 21, 2018, by and among Parent, AM Merger Sub I, Inc., AM Merger Sub II, LLC, Greenlight Holding II Corporation and the Stockholder Representative (the "Merger Agreement"), providing for, among other things, the acquisition by Parent of the Company; and

        WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the parties have agreed that Parent will deposit with the Escrow Agent $2,000,000 in cash which will be released to Parent and/or the Company Stockholders (in accordance with their Pro Rata Cash Share), as applicable, in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and described in this Agreement.

        NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged by each of the parties hereto, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows:

        Section 1.    Appointment of Escrow Agent.     Parent and the Stockholder Representative hereby appoint Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as escrow agent in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment.

        Section 2.    Deposit into the Escrow Property.     Parent, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, has caused to be deposited with the Escrow Agent the sum of $2,000,000 in immediately available funds (the "Escrow Cash"), which Escrow Cash shall be held in a non-interest bearing account (the "Adjustment Escrow Account") by the Escrow Agent upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. The Escrow Cash less any Escrow Cash or funds distributed, delivered or paid pursuant to this Agreement, is referred to herein as the "Escrow Property". The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to solicit the Escrow Property. The Escrow Agent shall have no liability for Escrow Property sent to it that remains unclaimed and/or is returned if such written notification is not given.

    Property the cash amount specified in such Joint Disbursement Instruction to the person(s), and in accordance with the wire or other payment information, identified in such Joint Disbursement Instruction.

            (b)   Upon receipt of a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction directing the disbursement of all or a portion of the Escrow Property, as specified therein (a "Disbursement Order"), the Escrow Agent shall promptly release from the Escrow Property the cash amounts specified in such Disbursement Order to the person(s) identified in such Disbursement Order. The party who provides a Disbursement Order to the Escrow Agent shall simultaneously provide a copy of such Disbursement Order to the other party.

        Section 4.    Termination.     This Agreement shall terminate upon the distribution of all Escrow Property from the account established hereunder. The provisions of Sections 5, 7 and 8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the earlier resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.

        Section 5.    Compensation of Escrow Agent.     The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to payment from each of Parent and the Stockholder Representative for 50% of the Escrow Agent's fees and expenses for all services rendered by it hereunder as set forth on Schedule II. Annual fees are due annually in advance for each year or any part thereof. The obligations contained in this Section 5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.

        Section 6.    Resignation of Escrow Agent.     The Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties hereunder at any time by giving thirty (30) calendar days' prior written notice of such resignation to Parent and the Stockholder Representative. Parent and the Stockholder Representative may jointly remove the Escrow Agent at any time by giving thirty (30) calendar days' prior written notice to the Escrow Agent. Upon either such notice, a successor escrow agent shall be appointed by Parent and the Stockholder Representative, who shall provide written notice of such to the resigning Escrow Agent. Such successor escrow agent shall become the escrow agent hereunder upon the resignation or removal date specified in such notice. If Parent and the Stockholder Representative are unable to agree upon a successor escrow agent within thirty (30) days after such notice, the Escrow Agent may, in its sole discretion: (a) apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor escrow agent or for other appropriate relief; or (b) appoint a successor escrow agent of its own choice. The costs and expenses (including its attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with such proceeding shall be paid 50% by Parent and 50% by the Stockholder Representative. Upon receipt of the identity of the successor escrow agent, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow Property then held hereunder to the successor Escrow Agent, less the Escrow Agent's fees, costs and expenses or other obligations owed to the Escrow Agent. Upon its resignation and delivery of the Escrow Property as set forth in this Section 6, the Escrow Agent shall be discharged of and from any and all further obligations arising in connection with the Escrow Property or this Agreement.

        Section 7.    Indemnification of Escrow Agent.     Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Escrow Agent and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents, from and against and reimburse the Escrow Agent for any and all claims, expenses, obligations, liabilities, losses, damages, injuries (to person, property, or natural resources), penalties, stamp or other similar taxes, actions, suits, judgments, reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) of whatever kind or nature regardless of their merit, demanded, asserted or claimed against the Escrow Agent directly or indirectly relating to, or arising from, claims against the Escrow Agent by reason of its participation in the transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation all reasonable costs required to be associated with claims for damages to persons or property, and reasonable attorneys' and consultants' fees and expenses and court costs except to the extent caused by the Escrow Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The provisions of this Section 7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the

J-2

earlier resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent. As between Parent and the Stockholder Representative, each of Parent, on the one hand, and the Stockholder Representative, on the other hand, agrees to hold the other (the "Other Party") harmless from, and indemnify the Other Party against, the costs, damages, judgments, attorneys' fees, expenses, obligations, and liabilities incurred or paid by the Other Party (including reasonable and documented attorneys' fees and expenses) arising out of or in connection with the performance of the Other Party's obligations under this Section 7 or Section 8 to the extent attributable to any act or omission of such party; provided, that to the extent any amounts payable under this Section 7 or Section 8 are not the result of any act or omission of either party, Parent and the Stockholder Representative agree that Parent, on the one hand, and the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of the Company Stockholders) on the other hand, shall each be liable for 50% of all amounts payable under this this Section 7 or Section 8.

        Section 8.    The Escrow Agent.     

            (a)   In order to comply with the laws, rules, regulations and executive orders in effect from time to time applicable to banking institutions, including, without limitation, those relating to the funding of terrorist activities and money laundering, including Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act of the United States ("Applicable Law"), the Escrow Agent is required to obtain, verify, record and update certain information relating to individuals and entities which maintain a business relationship with the parties hereto. Accordingly, each of the parties agree to provide to the Escrow Agent, upon request and from time to time, such identifying information and documentation as may be available to such party in order to enable the Escrow Agent to comply with Applicable Law.

            (b)   If at any time the Escrow Agent is served with any judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, writ or other form of judicial or administrative process which in any way affects the Escrow Property (including but not limited to orders of attachment or garnishment or other forms of levies or injunctions or stays relating to the transfer of the Escrow Property), the Escrow Agent is authorized to comply therewith in any manner it or legal counsel of its own choosing deems appropriate. If the Escrow Agent complies with any such judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, writ or other form of judicial or administrative process, the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person or entity even though such order, judgment, decree, writ or process may be subsequently modified or vacated or otherwise determined to have been without legal force or effect; provided, that the Escrow Agent shall remain liable for its gross negligence and willful misconduct.

            (c)   The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted or for any loss or injury resulting from its actions or its performance or lack of performance of its duties hereunder in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part. In no event, other than resulting from the Escrow Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall the Escrow Agent be liable: (i) for acting in accordance with or conclusively relying upon any instruction, notice, demand, certificate or document from Parent and the Stockholder Representative or any entity acting on behalf of Parent and the Stockholder Representative; (ii) for any indirect, consequential, punitive or special damages, regardless of the form of action and whether or not any such damages were foreseeable or contemplated; (iii) for the acts or omissions of its nominees, correspondents, designees, agents, subagents or subcustodians; or (iv) for any direct money damages in excess of the value of the Escrow Property, valued as of the date of deposit.

            (d)   The Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability for not performing any act or fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility hereunder by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of the Escrow Agent (including but not limited to any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority, any act of God or war, civil unrest, local or national

J-3


Table of Contents

    disturbance or disaster, any act of terrorism, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or facsimile or other wire or communication facility).

            (e)   The Escrow Agent, following reasonable inquiry (as customarily exercised in the ordinary course of business), shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any order, judgment, certification, demand, notice, instrument or other writing delivered to it hereunder without being required to determine the authenticity or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity or the service thereof. The Escrow Agent may act in conclusive reliance upon any instrument or signature believed by it to be genuine and may assume that any person purporting to give receipt or advice to make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so.

            (f)    The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible in any respect for the form, execution, validity, value or genuineness of documents or securities deposited hereunder, or for any description therein, or for the identity, authority or rights of persons executing or delivering or purporting to execute or deliver any such document, security or endorsement, in the absence of the Escrow Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Escrow Agent shall not be called upon to advise any party as to the wisdom in selling or retaining or taking or refraining from any action with respect to any securities or other property deposited hereunder.

            (g)   The Escrow Agent shall not be under any duty to give the Escrow Property held by it hereunder any greater degree of care than it gives its own similar property and shall not be required to invest any funds held hereunder. Uninvested funds held hereunder shall not earn or accrue interest.

            (h)   When the Escrow Agent acts on any information, instructions, communications, (including, but not limited to, communications with respect to the delivery of securities or the wire transfer of funds) sent by telex, facsimile, email or other form of electronic or data transmission, the Escrow Agent, absent gross negligence and willful misconduct, shall not be responsible or liable in the event such communication is not an authorized or authentic communication of Parent or the Stockholder Representative or is not in the form Parent and the Stockholder Representative sent or intended to send (whether due to fraud, distortion or otherwise). Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall jointly and severally indemnify the Escrow Agent against any loss, liability, claim or expense (including legal fees and expenses) it may incur with its acting in accordance with any such communication, except with respect to the Escrow Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

            (i)    In the event of any ambiguity or uncertainty hereunder or in any notice, instruction or other communication received by the Escrow Agent hereunder, the Escrow Agent may, in its sole discretion, refrain from taking any action other than to retain possession of the Escrow Property, unless the Escrow Agent receives written instructions, signed by Parent and the Stockholder Representative, which eliminates such ambiguity or uncertainty.

            (j)    In the event of any dispute between or conflicting claims among Parent and the Stockholder Representative and any other person or entity with respect to any Escrow Property, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to refuse to comply with any and all claims, demands or instructions with respect to such Escrow Property so long as such dispute or conflict shall continue, and the Escrow Agent shall not be or become liable in any way to Parent and the Stockholder Representative for failure or refusal to comply with such conflicting claims, demands or instructions. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to refuse to act until, in its sole discretion, either: (i) such conflicting or adverse claims or demands shall have been determined by a final order, judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, which order, judgment or decree is not subject to appeal, or settled by agreement between the conflicting parties as evidenced in a writing satisfactory to the Escrow Agent; or (ii) the Escrow Agent shall have

J-4


Table of Contents

    received security or an indemnity satisfactory to it sufficient to hold it harmless from and against any and all losses which it may incur by reason of so acting. Any court order, judgment or decree shall be accompanied by a legal opinion by counsel for the presenting party, satisfactory to the Escrow Agent, to the effect that said order, judgment or decree represents a final adjudication of the rights of the parties by a court of competent jurisdiction, and that the time for appeal from such order, judgment or decree has expired without an appeal having been filed with such court. The Escrow Agent shall act on such court order and legal opinions without further question. The Escrow Agent may, in addition, elect, in its sole discretion, to commence an interpleader action or seek other judicial relief or orders as it may deem, in its sole discretion, necessary. The costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such proceeding shall be paid by, and shall be deemed a joint and several obligation of Parent and the Stockholder Representative.

            (k)   The Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility for the contents of any writing of the arbitrators or any third party contemplated herein as a means to resolve disputes and may conclusively rely without any liability upon the contents thereof; provided, that the Escrow Agent shall remain liable for its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

            (l)    The Escrow Agent does not have any interest in the Escrow Property deposited hereunder but is serving as escrow holder only and having only possession thereof. Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall each pay or reimburse the Escrow Agent upon request for 50% of any transfer taxes or other taxes imposed on the Escrow Agent relating to the Escrow Property incurred in connection herewith. Any payments of income from this Escrow Account shall be subject to withholding regulations then in force with respect to United States taxes. Parent and the Stockholder Representative will provide the Escrow Agent with appropriate W-9 forms for tax identification number certifications, or W-8 forms for non-resident alien certifications. It is understood that the Escrow Agent shall only be responsible for income reporting with respect to income earned on the Escrow Property, if any, and will not be responsible for any other reporting. Parent and the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Company Stockholders, agree that for all U.S. federal and state and local income tax purposes, that the Company Stockholders shall be treated as the owners of the Escrow Cash, and shall be taxed on any income earned on the Escrow Cash. This paragraph shall survive notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.

            (m)  The Escrow Agent shall provide to Parent and the Stockholder Representative monthly statements identifying transactions, transfers or holdings of Escrow Property and each such statement shall be deemed to be correct and final upon receipt thereof by Parent and the Stockholder Representative unless the Escrow Agent is notified in writing, by Parent and the Stockholder Representative, to the contrary within thirty (30) business days of the date of such statement.

        Section 9.    Miscellaneous.     

            (a)   This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof.

            (b)   This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to the principles of conflict of laws.

            (c)   Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (unless the Federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction over the matter, in which case the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, or the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware does not have jurisdiction, in which case the Superior Court of the State of Delaware) in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding arising out of or

Each party further waives personal service of any summons, complaint or other process and agrees that service thereof may be made by certified or registered mail directed to such person at such person's address for purposes of notices hereunder.

            (d)   All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing in English and shall be deemed given when delivered personally, on the next Business Day after delivery to a recognized overnight courier or mailed first class (postage prepaid), or on the date delivered when sent by facsimile to the parties (which facsimile copy shall be followed, in the case of notices or other communications sent to the Escrow Agent, by delivery of the original) at the following addresses (or to such other address as a party may have specified by notice given to the other parties pursuant to this provision):

Form of Investor Representation Letter

[    ·    ], 2018

Gores Holdings II, Inc.
9800 Wilshire Blvd.
Beverly Hills, California 90212

        Re: Investor Representation Letter

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        The undersigned (the "Holder") is a holder of shares of common stock of Greenlight Holding II Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"). Gores Holdings II, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), is acquiring the Company (the "Acquisition") pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 21, 2018 (as it may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms, the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Parent, First Merger Sub, Second Merger Sub, the Company and the Stockholder Representative. Capitalized terms used in this letter (this "Investor Representation Letter") and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement.

        Upon the closing of the Acquisition (the "Closing" and, the date of such Closing, the "Closing Date"), each share of issued and outstanding Company Common Stock held by the Holder shall be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive a certain amount of cash, as applicable, and a certain number of shares of Parent Class A Stock, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, in a private placement effected in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, and exemptions from the qualification requirements of applicable state law. The Holder acknowledges and agrees that Parent is relying on the truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties made by the Holder in this Investor Representation Letter in order to rely on the exemptions described above. In addition, it is a condition to the Closing that the undersigned enters into and delivers this Investor Representation Letter.

        1.    Representations, Warranties and Certain Agreements of the Holder.     The Holder hereby makes the following representations, warranties and agreements to Parent, each of which representations and warranties is true and correct as to the Holder as of the date hereof and will be true and correct on and as of the Closing Date as if made on the Closing Date.

            1.1    Investment Representation Authorization Letter.    This Investor Representation Letter constitutes the Holder's valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable against the Holder in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by: (a) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally; or (b) the effect of rules of law governing the availability of equitable remedies.

            1.2    Acquisition for Own Account.    The shares of Parent Class A Stock to be acquired by the Holder pursuant to the Merger Agreement will be acquired for investment for the Holder's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the public resale or distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the Holder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same.

            1.3    No Solicitation.    At no time was the Holder presented with or solicited by any publicly issued or circulated newspaper, mail, radio, television or other form of general advertising or

L-1


Table of Contents

    solicitation in connection with the offer, sale and purchase of the Parent Class A Stock by Parent or its agents.

            1.4    Accredited Investor.    The Holder is either an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

            1.5    Disclosure of Information.    The Holder has received or has had full access to all the information the Holder considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to the shares of Parent Class A Stock. The Holder further has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from Parent regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the shares of Parent Class A Stock and to obtain additional information necessary to verify any information furnished to the Holder or to which the Holder had access.

            1.6    Understanding of Risks.    The Holder is fully aware of: (a) the highly speculative nature of the shares of Parent Class A Stock; and (b) the financial risk involved.

            1.7    The Holder's Qualifications.    The Holder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that the Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this prospective investment, has the capacity to protect the Holder's own interests in connection with this transaction and is financially capable of bearing a total loss of the shares of Parent Class A Stock.

            1.8    Compliance with Securities Laws.    The Holder understands and acknowledges that, in reliance upon the representations and warranties made by the Holder herein, the shares of Parent Class A Stock are not being registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, but instead are being transferred under an exemption or exemptions from the registration and qualification requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws which impose certain restrictions on the Holder's ability to transfer the shares of Parent Class A Stock.

            1.9    Restricted Securities.    The Holder agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the shares of Parent Class A Stock unless and until: (a) there is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or (b) the Holder shall have furnished Parent with an opinion of counsel, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent, that such disposition will not require registration of the shares of Parent Class A Stock under the Securities Act and otherwise complies with applicable state securities laws; provided that no such registration statement or opinion shall be required for dispositions effected under Rule 144 promulgated under the Act.

            1.10    Rule 144.    The Holder acknowledges that, because the shares of Parent Class A Stock have not been registered under the Securities Act, such shares must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available. The Holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.

            1.11    Contractual Restrictions.    The Holder acknowledges and agrees that he, she or it shall not Transfer any Parent Class A Stock to be acquired by the Holder pursuant to the Merger Agreement until 180 days after the Closing Date. "Transfer" shall mean the: (a) sale of, offer to sell, contract or agreement to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant of any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agreement to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establishment or increase of a put equivalent position or liquidation with respect to or decrease of a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder with respect to, any security; (b) entry into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any security, whether any such transaction is to be settled

L-2

Annex M

GREENLIGHT HOLDING CORPORATION
2018 PARTICIPATION PLAN
TERMINATION AGREEMENT

June     , 2018

Dear [NAME],

        As you may know, Greenlight Holding Corporation (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation and parent of ATS Consolidated Inc., Gores Holdings II, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), and certain other parties are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company will ultimately become a subsidiary of Parent (the "Transaction"). The Company has determined that immediately prior to the Transaction, and consistent with the terms of the Greenlight Holding Corporation 2018 Participation Plan (the "Plan"), it will terminate the Plan effective immediately prior to the Closing (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and you will have no rights under the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Closing does not occur prior to the termination of the Merger Agreement, the terms of this letter shall be of no further force or effect.

        This letter agreement, which is being entered into contemporaneously with the Merger Agreement, sets forth our mutual agreement concerning the treatment of any performance units that were granted to you under the Plan (the "Performance Units"). By signing below, you acknowledge and agree that the Performance Units will terminate in their entirety effective immediately prior to the Closing and that you will have no right to any payment with respect to the Performance Units upon the Closing or at any time thereafter, other than the payment set forth in this letter. The amount of such payment has been determined in the Company's discretion and you hereby acknowledge that such amount satisfies the Company's obligations to you with respect to your Performance Units. Subject to your execution of this letter, and in consideration of the waiver and release that follows the Company will pay you a lump sum cash payment in an amount set forth following your signature block below (the "Cash Payment") promptly following the Closing.

        By signing below, as of the Closing, you hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waive, release and discharge the Company and its affiliates (both current and future) from any and all claims, set-offs, demands, obligations, rights, privileges and preferences of any kind or nature whatsoever arising from or in any way connected with or related to the Plan and Performance Units, including, but not limited to, any related tax liability. You acknowledge that you may hereafter discover facts in addition to or different from those which you now know or believe to be true with respect to the Plan or Performance Units, but it is your intention to fully and finally and forever settle and release any and all matters, disputes and differences, known or unknown, which do now exist, may exist or heretofore have existed between you and the Company or its affiliates (both current and future) with respect to the Plan or Performance Units.

    Sincerely,

 

 

GREENLIGHT HOLDING CORPORATION
