Item 8.01 Other Events.
As previously disclosed, Leo Holdings Corp. (Leo) announced on February 6, 2020 that Leo and Digital Media Solutions, LLC (DMS) have executed a non-binding term sheet and are working on a definitive agreement. Attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto is an investor presentation, dated February 2020, that Leo has used in connection with various meetings related to the proposed business combination with DMS.
Important Information and Where to Find It
If a legally binding definitive agreement is entered into, a full description of the terms of the transaction will be provided in a proxy statement for the shareholders of Leo (the Proxy Statement), to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Leo urges investors, shareholders and other interested persons to read, when available, the preliminary Proxy Statement as well as other documents filed with the SEC because these documents will contain important information about Leo, the potential target company and the transaction. The definitive Proxy Statement will be mailed to shareholders of Leo as of a record date to be established for voting on the proposed transaction. Shareholders will also be able to obtain a copy of the Proxy Statement, without charge, by directing a request to: Leo Holdings Corp., 21 Grosvenor Place, London SW1X 7HF. The preliminary and definitive Proxy Statement, once available, can also be obtained, without charge, at the SECs website (www.sec.gov).
Participants in the Solicitation
Leo and its directors and executive officers may be considered participants in the solicitation of proxies with respect to the potential transaction described herein under the rules of the SEC. Information about the directors and executive officers of Leo is set forth in Leos Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, which was filed with the SEC on March 29, 2019. Information regarding the persons who may, under the rules of the SEC, be deemed participants in the solicitation of the shareholders in connection with the potential transaction will be set forth in the Proxy Statement when it is filed with the SEC. These documents can be obtained free of charge from the sources indicated above.
Non-Solicitation
The disclosure herein is not a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the potential transaction and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities of Leo, nor shall there be any sale of any such securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a definitive document.
Forward-Looking Statements
The disclosure herein includes certain statements that are not historical facts but are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as believe, may, will, estimate, continue, anticipate, intend, expect, should, would, plan, predict, potential, seem, seek, future, outlook, and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding projections, estimates and forecasts of revenue and other financial and performance metrics and projections of market opportunity and expectations, Leos ability to enter into a definitive agreement or consummate a transaction with DMS and Leos ability to obtain the financing necessary to consummate the potential transaction. These statements are based on various assumptions and on the current expectations of Leos management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Leo and DMS. These forward looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including: Leos ability to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to the proposed business combination or consummate a transaction with
DMS; the risk that the approval of the shareholders of Leo for the potential transaction is not obtained; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the potential transaction, including as a result of a delay in consummating the potential transaction or difficulty in integrating the businesses of Leo and DMS; the amount of redemption requests made by Leos shareholders and the amount of funds remaining in Leos trust account after satisfaction of such requests; those factors discussed in Leos Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 under the heading Risk Factors, and other documents of Leo filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. If the risks materialize or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that Leo presently does not know or that Leo currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Leos expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date hereof. Leo anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause Leos assessments to change. However, while Leo may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Leo specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Leos assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this disclosure statement. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
Non-GAAP Financial Measure and Related Information
The disclosure herein references EBITDA and EBITDA margin, which are financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures do not have a standardized meaning, and the definition of EBITDA used by DMS may be different from other, similarly named non-GAAP measures used by others operating in the targets industry. In addition, such financial information is unaudited and/or does not conform to SEC Regulation S-X and as a result such information may be presented differently in future filings by the Company with the SEC.

(“Leo”) and Digital Media Solutions, LLC (“DMS” or the “Company”). The information contained herein does not purport to be all-inclusive and none of Leo and DMS nor their respective affiliates makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy, completeness or reliability of the information contained in this Investor Presentation. You should consult your own counsel and tax and financial advisors as to legal and related matters concerning the matters described herein, and, by accepting this presentation, you confirm that you are not relying upon the information contained herein to make any decision. Forward-Looking Statements. Certain statements in this presentation may be considered forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or Leo’s or the Company’s future financial or operating performance. For example, projections of future EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA Growth, EBITDA Margin, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA, Unlevered Free Cash Flow, Unlevered Free Cash Flow Conversion, Revenue, Revenue renewal rates, Capital Expenditures and other metrics are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expect”, “intend”, “will”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “predict”, “potential” or “continue”, or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Leo and its management, and DMS and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to, various factors beyond management's control including competition and general economic conditions for the Company and its management, and other risks, uncertainties and factors set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in Leo’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. Nothing in this presentation should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Neither Leo nor the Company undertakes any duty to update these forward-looking statements. Use of Projections. This Investor Presentation contains financial forecasts of the Company. Neither the Company’s independent auditors, nor the independent registered public accounting firm of Leo, audited, reviewed, compiled, or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this Investor Presentation, and accordingly, neither of them expressed an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this Investor Presentation. These projections should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. Additional Information. In connection with the proposed Business Combination, including the domestication of Leo as a Delaware corporation, Leo intends to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 containing a preliminary proxy statement and a preliminary prospectus of Leo, and after the registration statement is declared effective, Leo will mail a definitive proxy statement/prospectus relating to the proposed Business Combination to its shareholders. This Investor Presentation does not contain all the information that should be considered concerning the proposed Business Combination and is not intended to form the basis of any investment decision or any other decision in respect of the Business Combination. Leo’s shareholders and other interested persons are advised to read, when available, the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus and the amendments thereto and the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other documents filed in connection with the proposed Business Combination, as these materials will contain important information about DMS, Leo and the Business Combination. When available, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant materials for the proposed Business Combination will be mailed to shareholders of Leo as of a record date to be established for voting on the proposed Business Combination. Shareholders will also be able to obtain copies of the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other documents filed with the SEC, without charge, once available, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, or by directing a request to: Leo Holdings, Corp., 21 Grosvenor Place, London, SW1X 7HF. Participants in the Solicitation. Leo and its directors and executive officers may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies from Leo’s shareholders with respect to the proposed Business Combination. A list of the names of those directors and executive officers and a description of their interests in Leo is contained in Leo’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, which was filed with the SEC and is available free of charge at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov, or by directing a request to Leo Holdings, Corp., 21 Grosvenor Place, London, SW1X 7HF. Additional information regarding the interests of such participants will be contained in the proxy statement/prospectus for the proposed Business Combination when available. No Offer or Solicitation. This communication is for informational purposes only and does not constitute, or form a part of, an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to sell or an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, and there shall be no sale of securities, in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offer 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, and otherwise in accordance with applicable law. The historical financial information is based on financials prepared pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles under standards established by the AICPA Auditing Standards Board. When the proxy statement/registration statement is filed with the SEC public company standards set by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board will be applied which could lead to different financial results. In addition, certain historical financial information is based on unaudited estimates for certain periods, and the Company's actual historical financial information for those periods could differ materially from such estimates. 1
