Limited Liability Company Agreement of One Water Marine Holdings, LLC
In connection with our IPO, in February 2020, OneWater LLC amended and restated its limited liability company agreement (the “OneWater LLC Agreement”) to, among other things provide for a single class of common units representing ownership interests in OneWater LLC and provide for certain other rights as specified therein.
During fiscal year 2021, the Company, certain of our executive officers or entities controlled by our executive officers (Messrs. Singleton and Aisquith), certain of our non-executive directors or entities controlled by such directors (Jeffrey B. Lamkin and John G. Troiano) and stockholders Peter and Teresa Bos (and entities controlled by them) held OneWater LLC Units.
Below is a summary of certain terms of the OneWater LLC Agreement.
Redemption Rights
Under the OneWater LLC Agreement, the holders of units in OneWater LLC (“OneWater Unit Holders”), subject to certain limitations, have the right (the “Redemption Right”), to cause OneWater LLC to acquire all or a portion of their OneWater LLC Units for, at OneWater LLC’s election, (i) shares of our Class A common stock at a redemption ratio of one share of Class A common stock for each OneWater LLC Unit redeemed, subject to conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassification or (ii) an equivalent amount of cash. Alternatively, upon the exercise of the Redemption Right, the Company (instead of OneWater LLC) has the call right (the “Call Right”) to acquire each tendered OneWater LLC Unit directly from the OneWater Unit Holders for, at the Company’s election, (x) one share of Class A common stock or (y) an equivalent amount of cash. In addition, the Company has the right to require (i) upon the acquisition by the Company of substantially all of the OneWater LLC Units, certain minority unitholders, or (ii) upon a change of control of the Company, each OneWater Unit Holder (other than the Company), to exercise its Redemption Right with respect to some or all of such unitholder’s OneWater LLC Units. As the OneWater Unit Holders cause their OneWater LLC Units to be redeemed, holding other assumptions constant, the Company’s membership interest in OneWater LLC will be correspondingly increased, the number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding will be increased, and the number of shares of Class B common stock will be decreased.
Distributions and Allocations
Under the OneWater LLC Agreement, subject to the obligations of OneWater LLC to make tax distributions and to reimburse the Company for its corporate and other overhead expenses, the Company has the right to determine when distributions will be made to the holders of OneWater LLC Units and the amount of any such distributions. If the Company authorizes a distribution, such distribution will be made to the holders of OneWater LLC Units generally on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective percentage ownership of OneWater LLC Units. In fiscal year 2021, OneWater LLC made distributions to the Company totaling $47.1 million for tax purposes, and to fund the Company’s special dividend.
The holders of OneWater LLC Units, including the Company, will generally incur U.S. federal, state and local income taxes on their share of any net taxable income of OneWater LLC. Net income and losses of OneWater LLC generally will be allocated to the holders of OneWater LLC Units on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective percentage ownership of OneWater LLC Units, subject to requirements under U.S. federal income tax law that certain items of income, gain, loss or deduction be allocated disproportionately in certain circumstances. To the extent OneWater LLC has available cash and subject to the terms of any current or future debt instruments, the OneWater LLC Agreement requires OneWater LLC to make pro rata cash distributions to OneWater Unit Holders, including the Company, in an amount sufficient to allow the Company to pay its taxes and to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement (as defined below).
