Introductory Note.

On March 29, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), GreenSky, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GreenSky”), and The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“GS Group”), completed the previously announced acquisition of GreenSky by GS Group. In connection therewith, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 14, 2021 (as amended or otherwise modified from time to time, including by the Joinder Agreements, dated as of November 5, 2021, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among GS Group, Goldman Sachs Bank USA, a bank organized under the laws of the State of New York (“GS Bank”), Glacier Merger Sub 1, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of GS Bank (“Merger Sub 1”), Glacier Merger Sub 2, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of GS Bank (“Merger Sub 2”), GreenSky and GreenSky Holdings, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company and subsidiary of GreenSky (“GreenSky Holdings”), (i) GreenSky merged with and into Merger Sub 1 (the “Company Merger”), with Merger Sub 1 surviving the Company Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of GS Bank (such surviving entity, “Surviving LLC 1”), and (ii) Merger Sub 2 merged with and into GreenSky Holdings (the “Holdings Merger” and, together with the Company Merger, the “Mergers”), with GreenSky Holdings surviving the Holdings Merger as a subsidiary of GS Bank and Surviving LLC 1 (such surviving entity, “Surviving LLC 2”). The Holdings Merger occurred immediately prior to the Company Merger. Immediately following the consummation of the Mergers, Surviving LLC 1 merged with and into Surviving LLC 2, with Surviving LLC 2 continuing as the surviving entity and as a wholly owned subsidiary of GS Bank (“Final Surviving LLC”).

 

Item 1.02

Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

In connection with the consummation of the Mergers, on March 29, 2022, GreenSky terminated the Credit Agreement, dated as of August 25, 2017 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among GreenSky Holdings, as borrower, the other loan parties thereto, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, collateral agent and issuing bank. In connection with the termination of the Credit Agreement, all outstanding borrowings and all unpaid fees thereunder were paid in full and all commitments thereunder were terminated.

In connection with the consummation of the Mergers, on March 29, 2022, GreenSky terminated the Warehouse Credit Agreement, dated May 11, 2020 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Warehouse Credit Agreement”), by and among GS Investment I, LLC, as borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. In connection with the termination of the Warehouse Credit Agreement, all outstanding borrowings and all unpaid fees thereunder were paid in full and all commitments thereunder were terminated.

 

Item 2.01

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

As described above, on March 29, 2022, pursuant to and in accordance with the Merger Agreement, (i) GreenSky merged with and into Merger Sub 1, with Merger Sub 1 continuing as Surviving LLC 1, and (ii) Merger Sub 2 merged with and into GreenSky Holdings, with GreenSky Holdings continuing as Surviving LLC 2, with the Holdings Merger occurring immediately prior to the Company Merger. Immediately following the consummation of the Mergers, Surviving LLC 1 merged with and into Surviving LLC 2, with Surviving LLC 2 continuing as Final Surviving LLC.

As of the effective time of the Holdings Merger (the “Holdings Merger Effective Time”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, (i) each common unit of GreenSky Holdings (“Common Unit”), other than Common Units owned by GreenSky, which were converted into an equal number of limited liability company interests in Surviving LLC 2, was converted into the right to receive 0.03 (the “Exchange Ratio”) shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of GS Group (the “Merger Consideration”) and (ii) each share of Class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of GreenSky (“GreenSky Class B Common Stock”) was automatically deemed transferred to GreenSky and canceled for no consideration. As of the Holdings Merger Effective Time, each holder of Common Units, other than GreenSky, ceased to have any rights as a holder of Common Units, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration, cash in lieu of fractional shares of GS Group’s common stock, if any, and any unpaid dividends or other distributions, in each case, pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

As of the effective time of the Company Merger (the “Company Merger Effective Time”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, each share of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of GreenSky (“GreenSky Class A Common Stock” and together with the GreenSky Class B Common Stock, “GreenSky Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, other than shares of GreenSky Class A Common Stock owned by GreenSky as treasury stock or held by GS Group, GS Bank, Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2 (in each case, not on behalf of third parties (including in a fiduciary, custodial, nominee or similar capacity)), which were canceled for no consideration, was converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. As of the Company Merger Effective Time, each holder of GreenSky Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time ceased to have any rights as a holder of GreenSky Class A Common Stock, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration, cash in lieu of fractional shares of GS Group’s common stock, if any, and any unpaid dividends or other distributions, in each case, pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

 

2

Each option to purchase shares of GreenSky Common Stock (a “GreenSky Stock Option”) outstanding immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, was canceled and converted into a right to receive a lump-sum cash payment, without interest, equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of GreenSky Common Stock subject to such GreenSky Stock Option immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time and (ii) the excess, if any, of (A) the Merger Consideration Value (as defined below) (or, if such GreenSky Stock Option was subject to a cap on the value received upon the exercise of the GreenSky Stock Option, the amount of such cap, if less than the Merger Consideration Value) over (B) the per share exercise price of such GreenSky Stock Option, subject to reduction for applicable withholding taxes. Any GreenSky Stock Option with a per share exercise price equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration Value was canceled for no consideration. The “Merger Consideration Value” is defined in the Merger Agreement as the product of the Exchange Ratio and $335.30, the closing price of GS Group’s common stock on March 28, 2022, the last trading day immediately preceding the Closing Date. Each share of GreenSky Common Stock subject to forfeiture conditions granted prior to the date of the Merger Agreement and each Common Unit subject to forfeiture conditions that was outstanding immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time and the Holdings Merger Effective Time, respectively, vested in full as of immediately prior to such applicable effective time and was treated the same as other shares of GreenSky Common Stock or other Common Units, as applicable.

Based on the closing price of GS Group’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange of $335.30 on March 28, 2022, the last trading day immediately preceding the Closing Date, the Exchange Ratio represented approximately $10.06 in implied value for each share of GreenSky Class A Common Stock and each Common Unit.
