On April 28, 2022, Fortress Transportation and Infrastructure Investors LLC (“FTAI” or the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the Company’s results for its fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2022. A copy of the Company’s press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Current Report”) as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein solely for purposes of this Item 2.02 disclosure.
This Current Report, including the exhibit attached hereto, is being furnished and shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be incorporated by reference into any of the Company’s filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, unless expressly set forth as being incorporated by reference into such filing.
| Item 8.01. | Other Events. |
|---|
FTAI Infrastructure has confidentially filed a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) with respect to the planned spin-off. The spin-off is subject to certain conditions, such as the SEC declaring effective FTAI Infrastructure’s registration statement, the approval of an application to list FTAI Infrastructure’s common stock on Nasdaq and the formal declaration of the distribution by the Board of Directors. Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP is serving as legal advisor to the Company in connection with the spin-off transaction. In evaluating the spin-off, a special committee comprised solely of independent and disinterested members of FTAI’s Board of Directors was advised by Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP as outside legal counsel and was also advised by Houlihan Lokey regarding certain matters relating to the spin-off.
The infrastructure business will be spun out in an entity taxed as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and will hold, among other things, FTAI’s (i) Jefferson Terminal business, a multi-modal crude oil and refined products terminal in Beaumont, Texas, (ii) Repauno business, a deep-water port located along the Delaware River with an underground storage cavern and multiple industrial development opportunities, (iii) Long Ridge investment, an equity method investment in a multi-modal terminal located along the Ohio River with multiple industrial development opportunities, including a power plant in operation, and (iv) Transtar business, five freight railroads and one switching company that provide rail service to certain manufacturing and production facilities. FTAI Infrastructure will retain all related project-level debt of those entities. In connection with the closing of the spin-off, FTAI Infrastructure intends to issue up to $300.0 million of preferred stock and warrants and incur up to $500.0 million of senior secured indebtedness, the net proceeds of which will be remitted to FTAI as part of the separation. FTAI expects to use the proceeds received from FTAI Infrastructure to repay all outstanding borrowings under its 2021 bridge loans and its revolving credit facility with the remaining proceeds to repay a portion of its 6.50% senior unsecured notes due 2025. FTAI expects to retain the aviation business and certain other assets and FTAI’s remaining outstanding corporate indebtedness.
FTAI Infrastructure will be externally managed by FIG LLC, an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC and FTAI’s manager (the “Manager”). In connection with the spin-off, the Company and FIG LLC have agreed to assign the Company’s existing management agreement to FTAI Infrastructure, and FTAI Infrastructure and the Manager have agreed to amend and restate the agreement effective upon on the closing of the spin. The amended and restated management agreement will have an initial term of six years. Similar to the Company’s existing management arrangements, the Manager will be entitled to a management fee, incentive allocations (comprised of income incentive allocation and capital gains incentive allocation) and reimbursement of certain expenses on substantially similar terms as the existing arrangements with the Manager, except that all fees will be paid pursuant to the amended and restated management agreement rather than by one of FTAI Infrastructure’s subsidiaries.
FTAI and certain of its subsidiaries will enter into a new management agreement with the Manager. The new management agreement will have an initial term of six years. The Manager will be entitled to a management fee and reimbursement of certain expenses on substantially similar terms as the existing arrangements with the Manager. Prior to the merger described below, our Manager will remain entitled to incentive allocations (comprised of income incentive allocation and capital gains incentive allocation) on the same terms as they exist today. Following the merger, FTAI will enter into a Services and Profit Sharing Agreement (the “Services Agreement”), with a subsidiary of FTAI and Fortress Worldwide Transportation and Infrastructure Master GP LLC (“Master GP”), pursuant to which Master GP will be entitled to incentive allocations on substantially similar terms as the existing arrangements.
Joseph P. Adams, Jr. will remain the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of FTAI and, upon completion of the spin-off, Eun (Angela) Nam, FTAI’s Chief Accounting Officer, will also become the Chief Financial Officer of FTAI. Kenneth J. Nicholson, a member of FTAI’s Board of Directors, will serve as Chief Executive Officer and President of FTAI Infrastructure and Scott Christopher, FTAI’s current Chief Financial Officer, will serve as Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer and Treasurer of FTAI Infrastructure.
Following the completion of the spin-off, FTAI plans to pursue a merger transaction pursuant to which it will become a wholly owned subsidiary of a company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. This merger transaction will be subject to FTAI approval by holders of FTAI’s common shares.
We expect the spin-off to be completed in the second quarter of 2022. However, there can be no assurance that the spin-off will be completed as anticipated or at all. Failure to complete the spin-off could negatively affect the price of the Company’s common shares.
In addition, the spin-off may not have the full or any strategic and financial benefits that we expect, or such benefits may be delayed or may not materialize at all. The anticipated benefits of the spin-off are based on a number of assumptions, which may prove incorrect. For example, the Company believes that having two independent companies with distinct investment profiles will maximize the strategic focus and financial flexibility of each company to grow and return capital to stockholders. In the event that the spin-off does not have these or other expected benefits, the costs associated with the transaction could have a negative effect on FTAI’s financial condition and ability to make distributions to the shareholders of each company
Certain statements in this Current Report may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, but not limited to, the Company’s ability to file the FTAI Infrastructure Form 10, to successfully complete the spin-off of FTAI Infrastructure in the second quarter 2022 and enter into the various different agreements and related transactions in connection with the spin-off, the ability to launch and complete the potential financings in connection with the spin-off and the ability to realize the expected benefits of the spin-off. These statements are based on management's current expectations and beliefs and are subject to a number of trends and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company can give no assurance that its expectations will be attained and such differences may be material. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements contained in this press release. For a discussion of some of the risks and important factors that could affect such forward-looking statements, see the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are available on the Company’s website (www.ftandi.com). In addition, new risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict or assess the impact of every factor that may cause its actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the Company's expectations with regard thereto or change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based.

Key Performance Measures
The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) utilizes Adjusted EBITDA as our key performance measure.
Adjusted EBITDA provides the CODM with the information necessary to assess operational performance, as well as make resource and allocation decisions. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to shareholders from continuing operations, adjusted (a) to exclude the impact of provision for income taxes, equity-based compensation expense, acquisition and transaction expenses, losses on the modification or extinguishment of debt and capital lease obligations, changes in fair value of non-hedge derivative instruments, asset impairment charges, incentive allocations, depreciation and amortization expense, and interest expense, (b) to include the impact of our pro-rata share of Adjusted EBITDA from unconsolidated entities, and (c) to exclude the impact of equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated entities and the non-controlling share of Adjusted EBITDA.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net loss attributable to shareholders to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

The Company uses Funds Available for Distribution (“FAD”) in evaluating its ability to meet its stated dividend policy. FAD is not a financial measure in accordance with GAAP. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to FAD is net cash provided by operating activities. The Company believes FAD is a useful metric for investors and analysts for similar purposes.
9
The Company defines FAD as: Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities plus principal collections on finance leases, proceeds from sale of assets, and return of capital distributions from unconsolidated entities, less required payments on debt obligations and capital distributions to non-controlling interest, and excluding changes in working capital.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities to FAD for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

FAD is subject to a number of limitations and assumptions and there can be no assurance that the Company will generate FAD sufficient to meet its intended dividends. FAD has material limitations as a liquidity measure of the Company because such measure excludes items that are required elements of the Company’s net cash provided by operating activities as described below. FAD should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results of operations under GAAP, and it is not the only metric that should be considered in evaluating the Company’s ability to meet its stated dividend policy. Specifically:
| • | FAD does not include equity capital called from the Company’s existing limited partners, proceeds from any debt issuance or future equity offering, historical cash and cash<br> equivalents and expected investments in the Company’s operations. |
|---|---|
| • | FAD does not give pro forma effect to prior acquisitions, certain of which cannot be quantified. |
| --- | --- |
10
| • | While FAD reflects the cash inflows from sale of certain assets, FAD does not reflect the cash outflows to acquire assets as the Company relies on alternative sources of liquidity to fund such purchases. |
|---|---|
| • | FAD does not reflect expenditures related to capital expenditures, acquisitions and other investments as the Company has multiple sources of liquidity and<br> intends to fund these expenditures with future incurrences of indebtedness, additional capital contributions and/or future issuances of equity. |
| --- | --- |
| • | FAD does not reflect any maintenance capital expenditures necessary to maintain the same level of cash generation from our capital investments. |
| --- | --- |
| • | FAD does not reflect changes in working capital balances as management believes that changes in working capital are primarily driven by short term timing<br> differences, which are not meaningful to the Company’s distribution decisions. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Management has significant discretion to make distributions, and the Company is not bound by any contractual provision that requires it to use cash for distributions. |
| --- | --- |
If such factors were included in FAD, there can be no assurance that the results would be consistent with the Company’s presentation of FAD.
