Team, Inc. ("TEAM" or the "Company") (NYSE: TISI) announced today that its Board of Directors adopted a stockholder rights plan designed to protect the availability of Team's net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") and other tax attributes under the Internal Revenue Code ("Section 382 Rights Plan").
As of
The Section 382 Rights Plan is similar to those adopted by numerous other public companies with significant NOLs. The Section 382 Rights Plan is not designed to prevent any action that the Board determines to be in the best interest of TEAM and its stockholders, and will help to ensure that the Board of Directors remains in the best position to discharge its fiduciary duties.
Under the Section 382 Rights Plan, the rights will initially trade with TEAM's common stock and will generally become exercisable only if a person (or any persons acting as a group) acquires 4.9% or more of TEAM's outstanding common stock, including any coordinated acquisition of securities by any Persons who have a formal or informal understanding with respect to such acquisition (to the extent ownership of such securities would be attributed to such Persons under Section 382 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder). If the rights become exercisable, all holders of rights (other than any triggering person) will be entitled to acquire shares of common stock at a 50% discount or TEAM may exchange each right held by such holders for one share of common stock. Under the Section 382 Rights Plan, any person which currently owns 4.9% or more of TEAM's common stock may continue to own its shares of common stock but may not acquire any additional shares without triggering the Section 382 Rights Plan. TEAM's Board of Directors has the discretion to exempt any person or group from the provisions of the Section 382 Rights Plan.
TEAM intends to submit the Plan to a vote of its stockholders at its 2022 annual meeting. The Section 382 Rights Plan will expire on the day following the certification of the voting results for TEAM's 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, unless TEAM's stockholders ratify the Section 382 Rights Plan at or prior to such meeting, in which case the Section 382 Rights Plan will continue in effect until
Additional information about the Section 382 Rights Plan will be available on a Form 8-K to be filed by TEAM with the
