On November 1, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests of Techshot, Inc. (“Techshot”) in exchange for cash and equity of the Company. Techshot is a biotechnology leader in microgravity, bioprinting, and on-orbit manufacturing needed for commercial space-based research and development. Techshot has developed the first American system capable of manufacturing human tissue in microgravity; a platform containing a set of centrifuges for in-space biological and physical-science research; an experiment processor for biological research and small scale manufacturing in space; and an in-orbit X-ray machine for researching new treatments for osteoporosis and muscle wasting diseases. The estimated fair values of the tangible and intangible assets acquired as well as liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date were $20,763 thousand and $6,563 thousand, respectively, for total purchase consideration of $40,721 thousand.

On November 5, 2021, the Company was notified of potential accounting issues with a business unit by an employee in connection with his resignation. Management promptly informed the independent Audit Committee and its independent registered public accounting firm. The timing of the investigation prevented the timely filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The Audit Committee promptly engaged independent, external legal and accounting firms to complete an independent investigation. After completing its investigation, the Audit Committee concluded that the potential issues raised by the former employee did not require a restatement or adjustment of the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements relating to any prior periods. However, the results of the investigation confirmed the existence of previously identified internal control deficiencies as well as identified certain additional internal control deficiencies. The Company self-reported this matter to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 8, 2021 and intends to continue to cooperate with any requests from the SEC.

Additionally, on December 17, 2021, the Company, our CEO, Peter Cannito, and our CFO, William Read, were named as defendants in a putative class action complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. In the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that the Company and certain of its directors and officers made misleading statements and/or failed to disclose material facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects, allegedly in violation of Section 10(b) (and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder) and Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As relief, the plaintiffs are seeking, among other things, compensatory damages. The defendants believe the allegations are without merit and intend to defend the suit vigorously. However, given the early stage of the proceedings, a reasonable estimate of the amount of any possible loss or range of loss cannot be made at this time.

In December 2021, the Company entered into a Consent to Credit Agreement whereby Adams Street Capital agreed to an extension of the delivery of periodic financial statements required under the Adams Street Credit Agreement. The Company continues to monitor compliance with its debt covenant requirements in connection with these events.

On March 25, 2022, Redwire Holdings, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Lead Borrower”), and certain other subsidiaries of the Company party thereto, entered into a Third Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Adams Street Capital Credit Agreement to, among other things, increase commitments under the revolving credit facility from $5,000 thousand to $25,000 thousand.
The Amendment also modified certain negative covenants and increased the per annum interest rate (i) with respect to revolving loans in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000 thousand or less, to 6.00% for Eurocurrency rate loans and 5.00% for Base Rate Loans, and (ii) with respect to revolving loans in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $5,000 thousand, to 7.50% for Eurocurrency rate loans and 6.50% for Base Rate Loans.

The Adams Street Capital Credit Agreement, as amended, contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and other covenants and events of default, including among other things, payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, and covenant defaults.

In connection with the entry into the Amendment, AEI and certain of its affiliates (the “AEI Guarantors”), provided a limited guarantee for the payment of outstanding revolving loans in excess of $10,000 thousand, with a $15,000 thousand cap in the aggregate. In the event that the AEI Guarantors are required to make payments to the lenders under the Adams Street Capital Credit Agreement pursuant to the terms of the limited guarantee, each AEI Guarantor would be subrogated to the rights of the lenders. In connection with the limited guarantee, the Lead Borrower agreed to pay to the AEI Guarantors, a fee equal to 2% of any amount actually paid by such guarantors under the limited guarantee. The fee is waivable by the AEI Guarantors in their discretion.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events after the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021 through the condensed consolidated financial statements issuance date and there were no additional subsequent events that required disclosure.
