On
March 2, 2021, Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (the "Company") completed the previously announced strategic investment in PA Consulting Group Limited (the "Transaction"), a company incorporated in England and Wales ("PA"), pursuant to an Implementation Deed (the "Implementation Deed"), dated November 27, 2020, among the Company, Jacobs Consulting Solutions Limited, a company incorporated in England and Wales and a direct subsidiary of the Company (the "Purchaser"), PA, CEP IV Garden S.A.R.L, a company incorporated under the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and the Managers (as defined in the Implementation Deed). Under the terms of the Implementation Deed, the Transaction was implemented by means of a scheme of arrangement to be undertaken by PA under Part 26 of the UK Companies Act 2006 (the "Scheme"). The Scheme involved an application by PA to the High Court of Justice in England and Wales to sanction the Scheme.
Pursuant to the Implementation Deed and the Scheme, the Purchaser acquired 100% of PA's share capital in the form of preferred and common equity in consideration and certain loan notes for an aggregate amount of £1,842,757,440.46. Part of such consideration was satisfied by the allotment and issue of preferred and common equity in the Purchaser to certain shareholders of PA. The equity issued to certain shareholders of PA represents 35% of the issued share capital of the Purchaser. Holders of preferred equity capital in the Purchaser will receive a 12% coupon accrual compounded annually. An equity incentive pool of 25% of the common equity of the Purchaser has been made available for issuance to current and future employees of PA at fair market value. Pursuant to the terms of the Implementation Deed, the Purchaser acquired certain loan notes issued by Garden Midco 1 Limited (a member of PA's group) in consideration for £266,817,502.40 (such amount included in the aggregate £1,842,757,440.46 consideration amount).
