Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 13, 2021, Haymaker Acquisition Corp. III, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Haymaker Sponsor III LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), BioTe Holdings, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“BioTE”), BioTe Management, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, Dr. Gary Donovitz, in his individual capacity, and Teresa S. Weber, in her capacity as the members’ representative (in such capacity, the “Members’ Representative”). The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are referred to herein as the “Business Combination.”
Business Combination Agreement
Structure and Consideration
Following the Closing, the combined Company will be organized in an “Up-C” structure in which substantially all of the assets and the business of the combined Company will be held by BioTE and its subsidiaries, and the Company’s only direct assets will consist of common units of BioTE (the “BioTE Units”). Assuming that none of the Company’s current stockholders exercise their right to redeem their shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Class A Common Stock”), and subject to certain adjustments pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, as of immediately following the Closing and without giving effect to the Member Earnout Units, Sponsor Earnout Shares (each as defined below) or outstanding warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock, the Company is expected to own, directly or indirectly, approximately 52% of the BioTE Units and will control BioTE as the sole manager of BioTE in accordance with the terms of the BioTE A&R LLCA (as defined and discussed below) and all remaining BioTE Units will be owned by the members of BioTE as of the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Members”). Upon consummation of the Transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the Company will change its name to “biote Corp.”
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, at the time of the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), (x) in exchange for BioTE Units, the Company will contribute to BioTE cash and the number of shares of newly issued Class V common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Class V Voting Stock”) equal to the number of Retained BioTE Units (as defined below), which will entitle its holder to one vote per share but no right to dividends or distributions and certain rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement (as defined below) and (y) immediately thereafter, BioTE will distribute to the Members the shares of Class V Voting Stock received by BioTE and up to approximately $200,000,000 of cash consideration.
At the Closing, BioTE will transfer to the Company a number of BioTE Units equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing (after giving effect to any Company stockholder redemptions and the Class B Common Stock Conversion (as defined below)). The Members will, immediately following the Closing, retain an aggregate number of BioTE Units (such BioTE Units retained by the Members, the “Retained BioTE Units”) equal to the following (without duplication between clauses (y) and (z)): (w) (i) (A) BioTE’s equity value (i.e., $555,000,000), minus (B) the aggregate amount of Company Transaction Expenses (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), minus (C) the Cash Consideration (as defined below), if any, divided by (ii) $10.00, plus (x) the Member Earnout Units (as defined below), minus (y) a number of BioTE Units equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued to the Phantom Equity Holders (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) pursuant to the Phantom Equity Acknowledgements (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) (or the existing underlying phantom equity documentation with respect to any Phantom Equity Holder who has not entered into a Phantom Equity Acknowledgement as of the Closing), minus (z) a number of BioTE Units equal to the quotient of (i) the amount of cash payable to the Phantom Equity Holders pursuant to the Phantom Equity Acknowledgments (or the existing underlying phantom equity documentation with respect to any Phantom Equity Holder who has not entered into a Phantom Equity Acknowledgement as of the Closing), divided by (ii) $10.00.
In connection with the Closing, on the date of the Closing (the “Closing Date”), (i) 10,000,000 Retained BioTE Units (the “Member Earnout Units”) held by the Members and an equal number of shares of Class V Voting Stock issued to the Members by the Company (the “Earnout Voting Shares”) in connection with the Business Combination, and (ii) 1,587,500 shares (the “Sponsor Earnout Shares”) of Class A Common Stock held by the Sponsor after giving effect to the Class B Common Stock Conversion and an equal number of BioTE Units (the “Sponsor Earnout Units” ) held by the Company, will be subject to certain restrictions and potential forfeiture pending the achievement (if any) of certain earnout targets pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. In addition, up to 793,750 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Class B Common Stock”) held by the Sponsor will be subject to forfeiture based on the amount of Company cash remaining in the Company’s trust account after giving effect to any Company stockholder redemptions and any pre-Closing equity financing by the Company. One third of each of the Member Earnout Units, Earnout Voting Shares, Sponsor Earnout Shares and Sponsor Earnout Units will vest upon the occurrence of each of the following events: (i) the first time, prior to the five-year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Earnout Deadline”), the volume-weighted average share price of the Class A Common Stock (the “VWAP”) equals or exceeds $12.50 per share for 20 Trading Days (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) of any 30 consecutive Trading Day period following the Closing, (ii) the
first time, prior to the Earnout Deadline, the VWAP equals or exceeds $15.00 per share for 20 Trading Days of any 30 consecutive Trading Day period following the Closing, and (iii) the first time, prior to the Earnout Deadline, the VWAP equals or exceeds $17.50 per share for 20 Trading Days of any 30 consecutive Trading Day period following the Closing. If a definitive agreement with respect to a Change of Control (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) is entered into on or prior to the Earnout Deadline, then effective as of immediately prior to closing of such Change of Control, unless previously vested pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) of the preceding sentence, each of the Member Earnout Units, Earnout Voting Shares, Sponsor Earnout Shares and Sponsor Earnout Units will vest.
In connection with the Closing, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of Company, dated as of March 1, 2021 (the “Current Certificate of Incorporation”), and the Sponsor Letter Agreement (as defined below), all then-outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock will be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock (after giving effect to the Sponsor Letter Agreement (as defined below)) on a one-for-one basis and into an aggregate number of 7,937,500 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Class B Common Stock Conversion”).
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the “Cash Consideration” will be equal to the portion of the aggregate consideration paid or payable to the Gary S. Donovitz 2012 Irrevocable Trust (the “Selling Member”) that is paid in cash, which amount shall in no event exceed $200,000,000.
At the Closing and in consideration for the acquisition of BioTE Units by the Company, the Company and BioTE and its subsidiaries will, subject to the Business Combination Agreement and the Trust Agreement (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), disburse the Closing Date Cash for the following purposes and in the following order of priority: (a) first, payment of unpaid Transaction Expenses (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), (b) second, payment to BioTE (for use by BioTE and its subsidiaries) in the amount of $75,000,000, (c) third, payment of Cash Consideration to the Selling Member in the amount of $50,000,000, (d) fourth, payment to BioTE (for use by BioTE and its subsidiaries) in the amount of $75,000,000, (e) fifth, payment of Cash Consideration to the Selling Member in the amount of $75,000,000, (f) sixth, payment to BioTE and the Selling Member such that BioTE and the Selling Member receive 37.8% and 62.2%, respectively, of the remaining Closing Date Cash until BioTE and the Selling Member have received aggregate payments pursuant to this clause (f) equal to $45,000,000 and $74,000,000, respectively, and (g) seventh, payment to BioTE (for use by BioTE and its subsidiaries).
Beginning on the six month anniversary of the Closing, each Retained BioTE Unit held by the Members may be exchanged, together with one share of Class V Voting Stock and subject to certain conditions, for either one share of Class A Common Stock or in certain circumstances, at the election of the Company in its capacity as the sole manager of BioTE, the cash equivalent of the market value of one share of Class A Common Stock, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the BioTE A&R LLCA (such exchange rights, as further described in the BioTE A&R LLCA, the “Exchange Rights”).
Representations, Warranties and Covenants
The parties to the Business Combination Agreement have agreed to customary representations and warranties for transactions of this type. The representations and warranties made under the Business Combination Agreement will not survive the Closing, other than claims against a party that committed fraud with respect to the making of its applicable representation and warranty. In addition, the parties to the Business Combination Agreement agreed to be bound by certain customary covenants for transactions of this type, including, among others, covenants with respect to the conduct of BioTE, the Company and their respective subsidiaries during the period between execution of the Business Combination Agreement and the Closing. The covenants made under the Business Combination Agreement will not survive the Closing unless, by their terms, they are to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing. Each of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Business Combination to be consummated after the date of the execution of the Business Combination Agreement in the most expeditious manner practicable.
Conditions to Closing
Under the Business Combination Agreement, the obligations of the parties (or, in some cases, some of the parties) to consummate the Business Combination are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions of the respective parties, including, without limitation: (i) the approval and adoption of the Business Combination Agreement and transactions contemplated thereby and certain other matters by requisite vote of the Company’s stockholders (the “Company Stockholder Approval”); (ii) if required, the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended; (iii) the absence of a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) since the date of the Business Combination Agreement; (iv) material compliance by the parties with their respective pre-Closing and Closing obligations and the accuracy of each party’s representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement, in each case subject to the certain materiality standards contained in the Business Combination Agreement; and (v) the Company having at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets upon the Closing, after giving effect to any Company stockholder redemptions. In addition, BioTE’s obligation to consummate the Business Combination is subject to the condition that the Company have at least $125,000,000 of Closing Date Cash
(i.e., the Company’s cash, including cash in its trust account, minus the amounts required for any Company stockholder redemptions, plus the aggregate proceeds to be received by BioTE and its subsidiaries from the Debt Facilities (as defined below) and the aggregate proceeds to be received from any pre-Closing equity financing by the Company) at the Closing. The receipt of $125,000,000 of proceeds of the senior secured term loan facility that have been committed (subject to customary conditions) under the Debt Facilities would be sufficient to satisfy the minimum Closing Date Cash condition described in the preceding sentence.
Termination
The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances at any time prior to the Closing, including only as follows, (i) upon the mutual written consent of the Company and BioTE; (ii) by the Company or BioTE if any applicable law or final, non-appealable Order (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) is in effect making the consummation of the Business Combination illegal; (iii) by the Company or BioTE if the Closing has not occurred by the Outside Date (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement); or (iv) by the Company, on the one hand, or BioTE, on the other hand, as a result of certain breaches by the counterparties to the Business Combination Agreement that remain uncured after any applicable cure period; provided in each case (i)-(iv) that such termination right is not available to the applicable party if such party exercising the right is in breach of its representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations under the Business Combination Agreement.
A copy of the Business Combination Agreement will be filed by amendment on Form 8-K/A to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) within four business days of the date hereof as Exhibit 2.1, and the foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto. The Business Combination Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of such agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the Business Combination Agreement. The Business Combination Agreement will be filed to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the parties to the Business Combination Agreement. In particular, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the Business Combination Agreement, which were made only for purposes of the Business Combination Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties (including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Business Combination Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts) and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors and reports and documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of any party to the Business Combination Agreement.

IRVING, TX, December 13, 2021 — BioTE Holdings, LLC, (Biote), a high-growth, differentiated medical practice-building business within the hormone optimization space (“Biote”), and Haymaker Acquisition Corp. III (Nasdaq: HYAC) (“Haymaker”), a special purpose acquisition company, today announced that they have entered into a definitive business combination agreement. Upon closing, the combined company’s Class A common stock is expected to be traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “BTMD.”
Management Comments
“Biote has a huge opportunity to enable physicians to help this highly underserved patient population take greater control of their health. Biote is committed to educating and empowering providers to effectively treat patients and help them understand the critical role that hormones play in healthy aging,” said Terry Weber, CEO of Biote. “We welcome Haymaker as partners and look forward to the role our status as a public company will play in increasing access to, and awareness of, our leading hormone therapy practice-building business.”

“We are excited to partner with Biote and their impressive team of industry and medical leaders,” said Andrew R. Heyer, President of Haymaker. “Our partnership with Biote will play a significant role in increasing awareness of the benefits of hormone therapy. We see a tremendous market opportunity in this type of therapy and are pleased to support Biote’s mission of changing healthcare for the better.”
Key Transaction Terms
The combined company is projected to have approximately $195 million in cash on its balance sheet after closing, after the payment of transaction expenses and distributions to Biote members, derived from $317.5 million of cash held in Haymaker’s trust account transferred to the company (assuming zero redemptions from trust), the proceeds of the Truist debt financing, and expected balance sheet cash as of closing.
As part of the transaction, Biote’s current management and existing equity holders will roll the majority of their equity into the combined company. Assuming no public stockholders of Haymaker exercise their redemption rights, ownership of the combined company immediately following the closing is expected to be comprised of current Biote equity holders with 48% and Haymaker stockholders (including its sponsor) with 52%, excluding the impact of deferred equity held by Biote members and Haymaker Sponsor III LLC. Biote intends to use the proceeds of the transaction to expand commercial operations and accelerate growth in the U.S.
The transaction, which has been approved by the members and board of managers of Biote and the Board of Directors of Haymaker, is subject to approval by Haymaker’s stockholders and other customary closing conditions. The proposed business combination is expected to be completed in the first half of 2022.
A more detailed description of the transaction terms and a copy of the business combination agreement will be included in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by Haymaker with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Haymaker will file a proxy statement with the SEC in connection with the transaction.

presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, which may be defined and calculated differently. Biote believes that these non-GAAP measures of financial results (including on a forward-looking basis) provide useful supplemental information to investors about Biote. Biote management uses forward-looking non-GAAP measures to evaluate Biote’s projected financials and operating performance. Additionally, to the extent that forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are provided, they are presented on a non-GAAP basis without reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP measures due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations. See the Biote presentation referenced above for reconciliations of our non-GAAP measures to the nearest GAAP measures.

Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events of Haymaker’s or BioTE’s future financial or operating performance. For example, projections of future revenue and other metrics are forward-looking statements.

You should be aware that the presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. Haymaker and BioTE believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to BioTE’s financial condition and results of operations.

These non-GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. This Presentation also includes certain projections of non-GAAP financial measures. Due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the information excluded from these projected measures, together with some of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible, Haymaker and BioTE are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable effort. Consequently, no disclosure of estimated comparable GAAP measures is included and no reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures is included. Certain monetary amounts, percentages and other figures included in this Presentation have been subject to rounding adjustments. Certain other amounts that appear in this Presentation may not sum due to rounding.

These projections should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. The assumptions and estimates underlying the prospective financial information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the prospective results are indicative of the future performance of BioTE or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the prospective financial information.
