Haymaker Updates Terms of Business Combination with OneSpaWorld

Transaction Valuation Updated to Reflect Recent Market Performance

Pro Forma Net Leverage Reduced

OneSpaWorld Management Reaffirms Forecasted Operating Performance

NEW YORK, Jan. 08, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Haymaker Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: HYAC) (“Haymaker”), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, and OneSpaWorld (“OSW” or the “Company”), the pre-eminent global operator of health and wellness centers onboard cruise ships and a leading operator of health and wellness centers of destination resorts worldwide, announced today that they have amended their definitive business combination agreement, which was entered into on November 1, 2018, due to recent market performance. The amended agreement continues to provide that Haymaker and OSW will combine under a new holding company, OneSpaWorld Holdings Limited (“OSW Holdings”), which is expected to be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol “OSW.” OSW is being sold by Steiner Leisure Limited (“Steiner”), a portfolio company of L Catterton, the largest and most global consumer-focused private equity firm in the world.  The Company continues to expect fiscal 2018 operating performance in line with its expectations provided on November 1, 2018.

Details of the Updated Transaction

Under the terms of the amended definitive business combination agreement, the transaction is now valued at approximately $850 million at closing, as compared to approximately $950 million in the original agreement announced on November 1, 2018, reflecting a reduction in the aggregate consideration to be paid to the selling equity holders.  Pro forma net leverage was also reduced to 3.9 times as compared to the original transaction, which contemplated 5.3 times.  The business combination will continue to be funded through a combination of cash in Haymaker’s trust account, borrowings, and proceeds from a common stock private placement led by premier institutional investors including Franklin Templeton and Neuberger Berman.  L Catterton will retain a significant equity stake in the combined company through its investment in Steiner.

OSW Reaffirms Forecasted Operating Performance

OSW continues to expect to report $535 million in revenue and $56 million in Adjusted EBITDA in 2018. For 2019, the Company continues to forecast revenue of $573 million and $62 million in Adjusted EBITDA. For 2020, the Company continues to forecast revenue of $668 million and $78 million in Adjusted EBITDA. As a result of the reduced leverage and favorable adjustments to interest expense associated with the amended transaction structure, the Company forecasts 2018, 2019 and 2020 Pro Forma Adjusted Net Income of $32 million, $39 million and $56 million, respectively. This represents a 31% compound annual growth rate between 2018 and 2020.

The respective boards of directors of both Haymaker and OSW have unanimously approved the amended business combination agreement.  Completion of the proposed transaction continues to be subject to approval of Haymaker stockholders and other customary closing conditions.  The parties expect that the proposed transaction will be completed in the first quarter of 2019.

Forward-Looking Statements:

This press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The expectations, estimates, and projections of the businesses of Haymaker, OSW and OSW Holdings may differ from their actual results and consequently, you should not rely on these forward looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, expectations with respect to future performance including projected financial information (which is not audited or reviewed by auditors) and anticipated financial impacts of the proposed transaction, the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the proposed transaction, and the timing of the completion of the proposed transaction. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside of the control of Haymaker, OSW, and OSW Holdings and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the parties following the announcement of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein; (3) the inability to complete the proposed transaction, including due to failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of Haymaker or other conditions to closing in the Business Combination Agreement; (4) the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement or could otherwise cause the transaction to fail to close; (5) the receipt of an unsolicited offer from another party for an alternative business transaction that could interfere with the proposed transaction; (6) the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of the post-acquisition company’s common shares on Nasdaq following the proposed transaction; (7) the risk that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the proposed transaction; (8) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees; (9) costs related to the proposed transaction; (10) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (11) the demand for OSW’s and the combined company’s services together with the possibility that OSW or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and (12) other risks and uncertainties included in (x) the “Risk Factors” sections of the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC by Haymaker and the S-4 and (y) other documents filed or to be filed with the SEC by Haymaker and OSW Holdings. Haymaker cautions that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. You should not place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Haymaker, OSW, and OSW Holdings do not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in their expectations or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

No Offer or Solicitation:

This press release shall not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent, or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the proposed transaction. This press release shall also not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Non-GAAP Financial Metrics:

This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures for OSW which do not conform to SEC Regulation S-X in that it includes financial information (such as Adjusted EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted Net Income) not derived in accordance with US GAAP. Accordingly, such information and data will be adjusted and presented differently in the S-4. OSW believes that the presentation of non-GAAP measures provides information that is useful to investors as it indicates more clearly the ability of OSW to meet capital expenditure and working capital requirements and provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends. Investors should review OSW’s audited and interim financial statements, which are presented in the S-4 and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business. Other companies may calculate these and other non-GAAP measures differently and, therefore, OSW’s non-GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
