INTRODUCTION
This Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (this “Transaction Statement”), together with the exhibits hereto, is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), by (i) Landmark Infrastructure Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”) and the issuer of the Common Units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (the “Common Units”) that are subject to the Rule 13E-3 transaction; (ii) Landmark Infrastructure Partners GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of the Partnership (the “Partnership GP”); (iii) Landmark Infrastructure REIT LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“REIT LLC”); (iv) Landmark Infrastructure Inc., a Delaware corporation (“REIT Subsidiary”); (v) Landmark Dividend LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landmark Dividend”); (vi) LM Infra Acquisition Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“LM Infra”); (vii) LM DV Infrastructure, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“LM DV Infra”); (viii) Digital LD MergerCo LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub”); and (ix) Digital LD MergerCo II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub II”). Collectively, the persons filing this Transaction Statement are referred to as the “filing persons.”
This Transaction Statement relates to the Transaction Agreement, dated as of August 21, 2021 (the “Transaction Agreement”), by and among the Partnership, the Partnership GP, REIT LLC, REIT Subsidiary, Landmark Dividend, LM Infra, LM DV Infra, Merger Sub and Merger Sub II. Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions therein, LM Infra will acquire all of the assets of the Partnership through the following series of transactions: (a) LM DV Infra will acquire subsidiaries of REIT Subsidiary and REIT LLC (the “Equity Sale”), (b) REIT LLC will then merge with and into REIT Subsidiary, with REIT Subsidiary surviving the merger (the “First REIT Merger”), (c) REIT Subsidiary will then merge with and into the Partnership, with the Partnership surviving the merger (the “Second REIT Merger”), (d) Merger Sub II will then merge with and into the Partnership (the “First Partnership Merger”), with the Partnership surviving the First Partnership Merger and (e) the Partnership will then merge with and into Merger Sub (the “Second Partnership Merger” and, together with the Equity Sales, the First REIT Merger, Second REIT Merger and the First Partnership Merger, the “Transactions”), with Merger Sub surviving the Second Partnership Merger. As a result of the Transactions, the Common Units will be delisted from the NASDAQ Global Market.
Under the terms of the Transaction Agreement, at the effective time of the First Partnership Merger (the “First Partnership Merger Effective Time”), (a) each issued and outstanding Common Unit, other than those Common Units owned by Landmark Dividend or its Affiliates (as defined below) (such Common Units, the “Landmark Dividend Common Units”), will be converted into the right to receive $16.50 per Common Unit in cash without any interest thereon (the “Partnership Unaffiliated Unitholders Consideration”); (b) each issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Unit (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) will be converted into the right to receive $25.00 plus the amount of any accumulated and unpaid distributions per Series A Preferred Unit in cash without any interest thereon; (c) each issued and outstanding Series B Preferred Unit (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) will be converted into the right to receive $25.00 plus the amount of any accumulated and unpaid distributions per Series B Preferred Unit in cash without any interest thereon and (d) each issued and outstanding Series C Preferred Unit (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) will be converted into the right to receive the greater of (1) $25.00 plus the amount of any accumulated and unpaid distributions per Series C Preferred Unit to, but not including, the date of the First Partnership Merger Effective Time plus the amount of any distributions that would have accrued from the date of the First Partnership Merger Effective Time to, but not including, the 50th Business Day following the First Partnership Merger Effective Time and (2) the sum of (i) the product of (x) the Alternative Conversion Amount (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) multiplied by (y) Partnership Unaffiliated Unitholders Consideration plus (ii) the amount of any accumulated and unpaid distributions for all prior Series C Distribution Periods (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) ending on or prior to the 20th Business Day following the First Partnership Merger Effective Time, per Series C Preferred Unit in cash without any interest thereon.
In addition, under the Transaction Agreement, the Partnership GP shall, subject to the requirements of the Partnership Agreement and the limitations of applicable law, cause the Partnership to declare and pay regular
2
quarterly cash dividends of $0.20 per Common Unit to the holders of the Common Units with declaration, record and payment dates consistent with past practice.
To the extent applicable, holders of Common Units and Preferred Units, as applicable, immediately prior to the First Partnership Merger Effective Time will have continued rights to receive any distributions, without interest, with respect to such Common Units or Preferred Units, as applicable, with a record date occurring prior to the First Partnership Merger Effective Time that has been declared by the Partnership GP prior to the First Partnership Merger Effective Time or made by the Partnership with respect to such Common Units and Preferred Units, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Agreement and that remain unpaid as of the First Partnership Merger Effective Time.
The Transactions are subject to certain closing conditions, including approval by the holders of Common Units (the “Unitholders”) representing a majority of the issued and outstanding Common Units of the Transaction Agreement at a special meeting of Unitholders (the “Partnership Unitholder Meeting”).
A committee of the Board of Directors of the Partnership GP (the “Board”) consisting entirely of individuals that the Board determined satisfied the requirements set forth in the Partnership Agreement for service on a conflicts committee (the “Conflicts Committee”), by unanimous vote, in good faith, (a) determined that the Transaction Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Transactions, are in the best interests of the Partnership, including the holders of Common Units other than the Partnership GP and its Affiliates (including the Buyer Parties and their Affiliates) (such holders, the “Partnership Unaffiliated Unitholders”), (b) approved the Transaction Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Transactions, which action constituted “Special Approval” as defined in the Partnership Agreement, and (c) recommended that the Board approve the Transaction Agreement, the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Transactions.
The Board, after considering various factors, including the unanimous determination and recommendation of the Conflicts Committee, determined that the Transaction Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Transactions, are in the best interests of the Partnership and the Partnership Unaffiliated Unitholders and approved the Transaction Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Transactions, and recommended that the Unitholders vote in favor of the Transaction Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Transactions.
Concurrently with the filing of this Transaction Statement, the Partnership is filing a notice of meeting and a proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Partnership Unitholder Meeting, at which Unitholders will be asked to consider and vote on a proposal to approve the Transaction Agreement.
