Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.






Stock Purchase Agreement

On June 7, 2021, Macquarie Infrastructure Corporation (the "Company") and its subsidiaries Macquarie Infrastructure Holdings, LLC ("Seller") and, solely for specified provisions, MIC Hawaii Holdings, LLC ("MIC Hawaii") entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement the ("Purchase Agreement") with KKR Apple Bidco, LLC ("Purchaser"), a Delaware limited liability company controlled by funds affiliated with Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. ("KKR"). The Purchase Agreement provides that Purchaser will acquire all outstanding shares of common stock of the Company which, following the proposed reorganization described below, will hold the Company's Atlantic Aviation business (the "AA Business"), for $4.475 billion, including cash and the assumption of debt and other transaction and reorganization related obligations (the "AA Transaction").

As previously announced, the Company has proposed a reorganization in connection with its pursuit of strategic alternatives. On May 6, 2021, the Company's shareholders approved a proposal to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 30, 2021 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Company, Seller and Plum Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Seller ("Merger Sub"), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the "Merger"), resulting in the Company becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Seller. Upon the effectiveness of the Merger, the Company's common stock will be converted into Seller's common units and stock certificates representing the Company's common stock immediately prior to the Merger will be deemed to represent Seller's common units without an exchange of certificates. Completion of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of various conditions. Following the Merger, a direct subsidiary of the Company will distribute all of the limited liability company interests of MIC Hawaii to the Company and the Company will in turn distribute all of the limited liability company interests of MIC Hawaii to Seller (such distributions, together with the Merger, the "Reorganization"). Upon completion of the Reorganization, Seller will directly own (i) the Company, which will own the AA Business and (ii) MIC Hawaii. The Company will complete the Reorganization prior to completion of the AA Transaction.

The closing of the AA Transaction ("Closing") is subject to certain conditions, including among others (i) approval of the Company's stockholders, (ii) expiration or termination of any required waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (iii) the absence of any injunction or other order from a governmental authority that prevents the Closing, (iv) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of, and compliance with covenants by, the other party, subject to certain materiality thresholds set forth in the Purchase Agreement, and (v) with respect to Purchaser's obligations to consummate the AA Transaction, the absence of a Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and the completion of the Reorganization. Purchaser has obtained equity financing commitments from investment funds affiliated with KKR and debt financing commitments from a group of lenders led by Jefferies Finance LLC and KKR Capital Markets to fund the AA Transaction and associated expenses. The obligations of Purchaser under the Purchase Agreement are not conditioned on receipt of this financing.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants related to the operation of the AA Business prior to the Closing. The Purchase Agreement contains a customary "no-shop" provision that restricts the Company's ability to, among other things, solicit alternative transaction proposals from third parties and provide non-public information to and engage in discussions or negotiations with third parties regarding alternative transaction proposals. The "no-shop" provision also allows the Company, under certain circumstances and in compliance with certain obligations set forth in the Purchase Agreement, to provide non-public information and engage in discussions and negotiations with respect to an unsolicited alternative transaction proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to a superior proposal.

The Purchase Agreement contains certain termination rights, including (i) the right of either party to terminate the Purchase Agreement if the AA Transaction is not consummated on or before December 6, 2021 (the "End Date"), (ii) the right of either party to terminate if a governmental authority has issued a final and nonappealable order prohibiting or enjoining the transaction (subject to certain limitations), (iii) the right of either party to terminate if the other party breaches its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in the Purchase Agreement to such an extent that the conditions to Closing would not be satisfied or are not curable or cured (subject to certain limitations) and (iv) the right of either party to terminate if the Company's stockholders do not approve the AA Transaction at a stockholders meeting for such purpose. In addition, the Company may terminate the Purchase Agreement (x) prior to the approval of the AA Transaction by the Company's stockholders, in order for the Company to enter substantially concurrently into a definitive agreement with respect to a superior alternative transaction proposal received without violation of the Company's "no-shop" obligations, subject to the Company having first complied with such other obligations or (y) if the Company and Seller provide notice that the conditions to closing are satisfied or waived and they are ready, willing and able to close and Purchaser fails to close within two business days after the later of such notice and the date closing is required by the terms of the Purchase Agreement (clause (y), a "Closing Failure"). Additionally, Purchaser may terminate the Purchase Agreement if the board of directors of the Company adversely modifies its recommendation that the Company's stockholders vote in favor of adopting the Purchase Agreement.

If the Purchase Agreement is terminated (i) by the Company in order for the Company to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a superior alternative transaction proposal received without violation of the Company's "no-shop" obligations, (ii) by Purchaser because the board of directors of the Company adversely modifies its recommendation that the Company's stockholders vote in favor of adopting the Purchase Agreement or (iii) (x) by either party because either the AA Transaction was not consummated on or before the End Date (other than under certain limited circumstances) or the approval of the Company's stockholders was not obtained or (y) by Purchaser due to the Company's breach of the Purchase Agreement, but only if, in the case of this clause (iii), an alternative transaction proposal was previously publicly announced or made publicly known and, within 12 months following the termination of the Purchase Agreement, the Company consummates an alternative transaction or enters into any agreement for an alternative transaction, then the Company will be obligated to pay to Purchaser a one-time fee equal to $88,125,000 in cash.

If the Purchase Agreement (i) is terminated by either party because the AA Transaction was not consummated on or before the End Date and either (A) the Company could have terminated due to a Closing Failure or a breach of the Purchase Agreement by Purchaser or (ii) is terminated by the Company due to a breach of the Purchase Agreement by Purchaser or (iii) is terminated by the Company due to a Closing Failure, then Purchaser will be obligated to pay to the Company a one-time fee equal to $193,875,000 in cash. If the Purchase Agreement is terminated (i) by either party due to a governmental order prohibiting the AA Transaction or because the AA Transaction was not consummated on or before the End Date or (ii) by the Company due to a Closing Failure, the Purchaser will be required to pay to the Company the unpaid balance of specified reimbursable expenses. Investment funds affiliated with KKR have provided a limited guaranty of Purchaser's obligations under the Purchase Agreement to pay such termination fee and reimbursable expenses.

Following the Closing, (i) Purchaser and the Company will indemnify Seller, MIC Hawaii and their affiliates for losses (net of insurance recoveries) related to liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries, excluding liabilities relating to Seller, MIC Hawaii or their subsidiaries (such excluded liabilities, the "MIC Hawaii Liabilities") and (ii) Seller and MIC Hawaii will indemnify Purchaser, the Company and their affiliates for losses related to, among other things, (a) the MIC Hawaii Liabilities or (b) payments or asset transfers by the Company or its subsidiaries to Seller, MIC Hawaii or their affiliates (other than the Company) after March 31, 2021 and prior to Closing, subject to certain exceptions.
