Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Merger Agreement

 

On February 9, 2021, Forest Road Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Acquiror” or the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with BB Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Acquiror (“BB Merger Sub”), MFH Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Acquiror (“Myx Merger Sub”), The Beachbody Company Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Beachbody”), and Myx Fitness Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Myx”).

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and subject to the approval of Acquiror’s shareholders, among other things, at the closing of the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Closing”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law and Delaware Limited Liability Company Act: (1) BB Merger Sub will merge with and into Beachbody, with Beachbody surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Acquiror (the “Surviving Beachbody Entity”); (2) Myx Merger Sub will merge with and into Myx, with Myx surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Acquiror; and (3) the Surviving Beachbody Entity will merge with and into Acquiror, with Acquiror surviving such merger (the “Surviving Company”, and such mergers the “Business Combination”). Upon consummation of the Business Combination all of the outstanding Beachbody and Myx equity interests will be converted into the right to receive equity interests in the Surviving Company, except that certain Myx equity interests will be exchanged for cash consideration and will be cancelled, in each case pursuant to the terms of, and subject to the adjustments set forth in, the Merger Agreement. The Closing is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions contained in the Merger Agreement.

 

Other Agreements

 

The Merger Agreement contemplates the execution of various additional agreements and instruments on or before the Closing including, among others, the following:

 

Sponsor Agreement

 

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Acquiror, Forest Road Acquisition Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor”), and Beachbody entered into a support agreement (the “Sponsor Agreement”), whereby Sponsor agreed to, among other things, (a) vote in favor of approving the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and (b) waive any adjustment to the conversion ratio with respect to the Acquiror shares of Class B common stock (the “Sponsor Shares”) held by Sponsor as set forth in the Acquiror’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Sponsor Agreement.

 

Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Sponsor Agreement, 50% of the Sponsor Shares will be unvested, and 10% of the unvested Sponsor Shares will vest in upon the occurrence of the Surviving Company’s last sale price on the New York Stock Exchange exceeding each of the following price-per-share thresholds for any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30-day trading period, commencing at least 180 days after the date of the Closing (the “Closing Date”): $12.00, $13.00, $14.00, $15.00 and $16.00 (each, a “Price Threshold”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sponsor Agreement, upon the consummation of a transaction involving a change of control at the Surviving Company on or prior to the date that is the tenth anniversary of the Closing Date, if the consideration payable to stockholders of the Surviving Company consists of (x) cash and the price per share payable to holders of Sponsor Shares exceeds any of the Price Thresholds, such Price Threshold will be deemed satisfied and the related portion of unvested Sponsor Shares will be deemed vested, and the holders of such Sponsor Shares will be eligible to participate in such change of control transaction; and (y) equity securities of the surviving company or one of its affiliates that are, or after the closing of such transaction, will be, publicly traded, any unvested Sponsor Shares shall be converted into equity securities in the surviving company with similar rights, including vesting based on applicable Price Thresholds. Any Sponsor Shares that do not vest 10 years after Closing will be forfeited.

Additionally, separate support agreements with terms similar to those of the Sponsor Agreement (excluding the vesting of Sponsor Shares), were entered into by certain of Beachbody’s and Myx’s equity holders (the “Support Agreements”) concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement.

 

PIPE Financing

 

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, on February 9, 2021, the Acquiror entered into subscription agreements (each a “Subscription Agreement” and collectively the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”). In accordance with these Subscription Agreements, the PIPE Investors have agreed to subscribe for and purchase, and the Acquiror has agreed to issue and sell to the PIPE Investors, an aggregate of 22,500,000 shares of Acquiror Class A Common Stock at a price of $10.00 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $225,000,000. The shares of Acquiror Class A Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreements have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Acquiror granted the PIPE Investors certain registration rights in connection with the PIPE financing, which financing is contingent upon, among other things, the Closing.

Exhibit 99.1

 

 

The Beachbody Company, A Leader in Digital Fitness Streaming and Nutrition Solutions, to Become Publicly Traded Company

 

The Beachbody Company, Forest Road Acquisition Corp. and Myx Fitness Enter Three-Way Merger

 

The Transaction Values the Combined Company at $2.9 Billion and is Expected to Add Over $420 Million of Cash to the Balance Sheet, Including a Committed PIPE of $225 Million, Led by Institutional Investors Including Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC and Fertitta Capital

 

With This Transaction, Beachbody Will Be Poised to Scale its Growing Platform of Over 2.6 Million Paid Digital Subscribers into the Connected Fitness Space While Also Accelerating International Expansion, Enhanced Innovation and Opportunistic M&A

 

SANTA MONICA, CA and NEW YORK, NY – February 10, 2021 – The Beachbody Company Group, LLC (“The Beachbody Company,” “Beachbody” or “the Company”) announced today its intention to become a public company by entering into a definitive three-way merger agreement with Forest Road Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: FRX) (“Forest Road”), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, and Myx Fitness Holdings, LLC (“Myx Fitness” or “Myx”), an at-home connected fitness platform featuring an industry leading bike and home studio.

 

Upon closing of the business combination transaction, The Beachbody Company will be the parent company of three premium content and technology-driven businesses: Beachbody On Demand (BOD), Openfit and Myx. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2021 and the combined company will be listed on the NYSE under a new ticker symbol, “BODY”.

 

Beachbody will continue to be led by Carl Daikeler, Beachbody’s co-founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Jon Congdon, co-founder of Beachbody and CEO of Openfit. Forest Road’s strategic advisor Kevin Mayer, former CEO of TikTok and visionary leader behind Disney+, will join the combined company’s Board of Directors. Beachbody management and shareholders are rolling over 100% of their equity stake and will own approximately 84% of the pro forma business at close.

 

Combined Company Overview

 

As a leader in digital fitness streaming and nutrition solutions, Beachbody is well-positioned to capitalize on the increased demand for at-home health and wellness offerings and will further invest to drive accelerated customer acquisition, expand internationally and pursue attractive, high-return M&A opportunities.

 

With brands such as P90X®, INSANITY® and 21 Day Fix®, Beachbody has consistently expanded its market share over the past two decades through its proven model of integrating the most comprehensive library of premium fitness content with easy-to-follow nutrition guidance and supplements. Through the BOD and Openfit platforms, the Company has developed a diverse offering of live and on-demand content as well as nutrition solutions that reach a passionate and loyal community, including more than 2.6 million paid digital subscribers.

 

With the addition of Myx, the Company's portfolio will expand to include a connected fitness offering that provides a holistic and innovative on and off-bike solution with workouts that are personalized based on machine learning and heart rate data. With an attractive price point of $1,299, Myx sold over 27,000 bikes in its first year of operation, and has a highly engaged customer base of users who complete an average of 15 workouts each month. In addition, the merger with Myx will further leverage the scale of The Beachbody Company's platform as it unlocks synergies across distribution, marketing and content creation for all three of its brands.

 

 

 

 

 

“We are excited to partner with Forest Road and Myx Fitness, and are humbled by the proven team of executives and industry icons who have stepped forward to support our shared vision,” said Mr. Daikeler. “We have seen incredible digital growth in recent years, which was further fueled in 2020 by a structural and lasting shift in how people embrace health and fitness. With the acquisition of Myx, cutting edge technology meets best-in-class streaming content -- and we will continue to redefine the at-home fitness experience as we pair the integrated hardware, science-based heart rate coaching and personalized smart recommendations behind Myx with Beachbody and Openfit’s best-in-class content libraries, track record of content innovation and vast network.”

 

Mr. Mayer commented: “Beachbody’s rapid subscriber growth is grounded in the concept of community and accountability with a mission-driven focus that capitalizes on the huge growth in the health and wellness space. The Company's engagement and retention metrics validate the quality and depth of its content library and direct-to-consumer (DTC) technology capabilities. I see many parallels at Beachbody with the work we did at Disney, where we aggressively accelerated our digital transformation and leveraged our content to build Disney+, ESPN+ and Hulu. In addition to its significant organic growth potential, the scale and differentiation of Beachbody’s platform will allow us to pursue attractive M&A opportunities in this highly fragmented ecosystem, which will enable us to increase our market share globally and diversify our product offering. I’m excited to join the board to help further fuel growth and value creation for the company and its shareholders.”

 

“When we raised our SPAC, we were determined to find a company with a strong, proven business model and significant growth potential where we could add value from our experience in the creation and monetization of premium content. Beachbody is a perfect fit with those objectives,” said Tom Staggs, former COO & CFO of Disney and Forest Road board member and strategic advisory committee chair. “We are fortunate to have identified a business poised to benefit from three powerful market trends: digital subscriptions, connected fitness and growing consumer demand for health and wellness. These trends give us even more confidence that we have found an extremely attractive investment for our shareholders. Beachbody has always leveraged its fitness content to acquire customers profitably and with the proceeds of this transaction, Carl and his team at Beachbody can invest to significantly accelerate customer acquisition and financial growth for years to come.”

Transaction Overview

 

In addition to the approximately $300 million held in Forest Road’s trust account (assuming no redemptions), institutional investors, including Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC and Fertitta Capital, have committed to a private placement (“PIPE”) of $225 million to purchase shares of Class A common stock of the combined company that will close concurrently with the business combination.

 

The transaction implies a pro forma enterprise value for Beachbody of approximately $2.9 billion, or 2.0x 2022 estimated revenue. It is anticipated that the combined company will have over $420 million of unrestricted cash on the balance sheet, assuming no redemptions from the trust account, to fund its future growth plans.

 

The Board of Directors of Forest Road, and the Board of Managers of each of Beachbody and Myx have unanimously approved the transaction, and holders representing a majority of Beachbody equity interests and a majority of Myx equity interests have signed voting and support agreements agreeing to vote for the transaction. In addition to Beachbody and Myx equity holder approvals, the transaction will require the approval of the stockholders of Forest Road, and is subject to other customary closing conditions, including the receipt of certain regulatory approvals.

For everyone on the phone, Forest Road Acquisition Corp. and Beachbody will not be fielding any questions on today’s call.

 

Hosting today’s call are Carl Daikeler, Co-founder, Chairman and CEO of The Beachbody Company and Kevin Mayer, Strategic Advisor of Forest Road Acquisition Corp.

 

I will now turn the call over to Kevin Mayer. Please go ahead, sir.

 

Kevin Mayer.

 

Thank you, and good morning, everyone.

 

We are very excited to announce that Forest Road Acquisition Corp. has entered into a merger agreement to combine our public company with The Beachbody Company, and execute a concurrent combination with MYXfitness.

 

Since the announcement of our SPAC, we have been inundated with ideas. We knew we were looking for a company that had a proven and predictable business model and a really strong foundation for growth. At the same time, we wanted to make an investment that fit our expertise in monetizing premium content.

At Disney, Tom Staggs and I were at the center of the ideation and execution of a digital revolution driven by premium content. We acquired premium IP, with acquisitions like Pixar, Marvel, and Lucasfilm. We oversaw a massive pipeline of premium content production. And we helped build new Direct-to-Consumer distribution channels like Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu. I not only see many parallels at Beachbody to the work we did over the last 15 years, but also the opportunity to leverage the Company’s assets and infrastructure to drive growth, which is why I am excited to join the board of the company and partner with their incredible team for many years to come.

 

The Beachbody Company today consists of two strong brands in the digital fitness content space, Beachbody on Demand, with the fortuitous acronym of BOD, and Openfit. In my humble opinion, BOD is the Disney+ of fitness, while Openfit is like Masterclass, centered around major influencers, offering live instructional workouts and a unique gamified boutique fitness experience. Each of these brands, or doors into the ecosystem as I call them, have associated nutrition products -- Beachbody supplements for BOD and Ladder Supplements for Openfit. Both serve as a powerful flywheel for retention and results. And soon both will have the opportunity to offer customers a connected in-home fitness option with the MYX bike when we close this deal.

 

The more we investigated this story during our diligence process, the more we fell in love with it. Rarely do you find a business that is well positioned to capitalize on one mega trend. And yet, in the case of The Beachbody Company, we believe it is positioned perfectly at the epicenter of THREE tailwinds; Digital Subscriptions, Connected Fitness, and Consumer Health and Wellness.

 

Clearly, digital is now the way we live our lives; our days revolve around screens and content, and BOD, along with Openfit, deliver subscription content solutions at the time and place of people’s choosing, on the devices that people love the most -- we have truly democratized the fitness content industry.

 

With respect to Connected Fitness, now that more consumers are spending more time at home, they want fitness solutions with high quality equipment that are accessible, convenient, and fit into their busy schedules. With the acquisition of MYX, we will add to our digital subscription base substantially.

 

And finally, Consumer Health & Wellness. Today, more people than ever are focused on their health, and we believe this trend will continue well into the future. With branded lines of premium nutrition products, we believe Beachbody supplements and Ladder, which is the sports nutrition supplement line founded by LeBron James and Arnold Schwarzenegger that Openfit acquired last year, we have an opportunity to accelerate market share gains. By the way, Lebron and Arnold are shareholders in The Beachbody Company as well as a result of that transaction.

 

We believe The Beachbody Company’s ability to capitalize on each of these three trends presents a unique opportunity that sets it apart from its competitors in the industry, and with the combination of these three great brands, Beachbody, Openfit, and MYX, we are well-positioned to further unlock the scale of the platform across distribution, marketing, and content creation.

At its core, The Beachbody Company has a 22-year foundation built on content, subscribers, and marketing expertise. We believe the company has the right skillset to invest across these categories, and we will use the proceeds from this transaction to increase marketing spend in order to grow revenue from $1.1 billion in 2021 to over $3 billion in 2025. This forecast is underpinned by solid subscriber retention metrics, and with approximately 40% of revenue in each year carrying over from the previous year, and a very stable and predictable LTV to CAC of over 4 times.

 

Our conviction in the tremendous success to come for The Beachbody Company is centered around several operating advantages, including:

 

A scaled, branded fitness and nutrition platform generating over $880 million of revenue, 2.6 million paid digital subs in 2020, and a strong track record of profitability

 

A management team that has over 22 years of experience creating high-quality evergreen content with a track record of consistently efficient customer acquisition, and

 

The opportunity to leverage their digital expertise to unlock significant value in connected fitness.

 

We are confident that these competitive advantages will lead to strong engagement and industry-leading retention rates; and with the backdrop of the three significant tailwinds I highlighted earlier, the company is positioned for significant growth over the coming years. Importantly, we believe the transaction sets the combined company up for long-term success. Forest Road has $300 million in its trust account and we have also secured $225 million in a PIPE led by blue chip institutional investors such as Fidelity and Fertitta Capital. Upon closing, we expect The Beachbody Company will have over $420 million of unrestricted cash on the balance sheet to fund its growth plans. It is worth noting that Carl and all other Beachbody shareholders are not selling a share in this transaction. Following the deal, the founders of Beachbody will own about 48% of the combined business on a fully diluted basis.

 

And with that, I will hand it over to my new partner and Beachbody Co-Founder Carl Daikeler to talk more about the incredible business he has built.

 

Carl Daikeler

 

Thank you Kevin. Good morning and welcome everyone. I share Kevin’s excitement and enthusiasm for the combination of these companies and the opportunities ahead as we shift into a more aggressive period of growth, reaching more people with our holistic solution that brings together fitness, nutrition, and community.

Beachbody is a mission-driven company. While the digital disruption that the fitness industry is currently experiencing is extraordinary, the underlying value of our business comes from our mission to help people achieve their goals and enjoy healthy, fulfilling lives.

 

This mission puts The Beachbody Company squarely in the center of a $1.5 trillion health and wellness industry, at a time when consumers are increasingly looking for and need effective, affordable, at-home digitally enabled fitness and nutrition solutions. And this evolution in consumer preferences brings with it a massive opportunity - digital fitness spending is projected to reach $59 billion by 2027, up from $6 billion in 2019.

 

With more than two decades of leadership in at-home wellness, we believe The Beachbody Company is uniquely positioned to capture a meaningful share from this shift to online, and the newly combined company gives us a wide moat and unique competitive advantages to deliver cost-effective results to the mass-market. These include:

 

The deepest library of premium digital fitness content in the industry

 

The tools to support customers seeking healthy results by providing effective meal planning and proprietary nutrition products, and

 

A differentiated at-home connected fitness solution through MYX

 

All underpinned by a scalable platform that leverages our expertise in distribution, marketing and content creation.

 

As Kevin mentioned, this holistic approach today happens on two customer facing digital platforms, Beachbody on Demand, where our subscribers have access to over 2,000 different on-demand workout videos and an incredible team of coaches helping people stay on track to get results, and Openfit, our newer platform that offers live and on-demand content that incorporates the power of celebrities, brands and influencers. And through the acquisition of MYX Fitness, we are expanding into connected fitness.

 

Let me walk through each of these platforms in a bit more detail.

 

Beachbody is the leader in digital fitness content with over 180 million streamed views in 2020. Today, Beachbody has 2.6 million paid digital subscribers that generated $326 million in annual revenue with 89% gross margins. As you can see, it is a profitable model underpinned by impressive KPI’s led by a 96% month over month digital retention rate, world-class engagement of 32% daily average users to monthly average users, and active subscribers averaging 12 workouts a month. Over 70% of our subscribers purchase our annual subscription for access to all our content which is created in-house and is developed as part of a program – a program that is always paired with a nutrition plan and works with a set day-by-day plan and goal in mind. These are network TV quality productions that take our customers on a complete journey to get healthy results, and each program lives in the catalog creating incredible long-term value. A great example is P90X, which is over 15 years old and still generated more than 5 million views last year.

Our digital subscriptions happen on two distinct platforms which share the goal of helping customers get healthy results; Beachbody On Demand, and Openfit. Beachbody on Demand launched in 2016 and features over 86 different comprehensive programs combing fitness and nutrition plans, meditation, groups, and progress tracking. Openfit was launched in 2020 using those same core competencies in content development to create highly engaging live and on-demand fitness classes starring fitness celebrities and influencers. We offer over 400 live classes per week on Openfit featuring a wide variety of workouts including strength training, Pilates, kickboxing, meditation and yoga to name just a few. These classes also allow for guidance with a live certified personal trainer who can help the subscriber during the workout when they turn on their camera. You can imagine how powerful this will be as we take all those core competencies into connected fitness with the MYX Fitness bike.

 

The acquisition of MYX enables us to really democratize connected fitness thanks to a very compelling price point and an affordable monthly subscription. Integrating our Beachbody On Demand and Openfit content into the MYX bike will offer customers an unprecedented value proposition. What is so exciting about MYX is their research-based, differentiated approach to getting people results. MYX found that there is a vast audience looking for a less competitive experience that is based more on personalized workout intensity as measured by heart rate - the pressure of the leaderboard can be unappealing to a lot of people. We believe that in pairing our approach to really engaging content with the technology MYX has developed, we can create a very compelling experience. Taking it a step further, we can then leverage this connected device to attract a whole new audience of prospective customers who want an affordable bike, access to our industry-leading content, and, most importantly, they want healthy results that come from our total solution.

 

While Beachbody is known best for its fitness brands, our holistic approach that brings together fitness, nutrition and community is what sets us apart, and is at the core of getting people the results they desire. We integrate meal planning and nutritional subscriptions with the fitness program to deliver unparalleled results. We currently offer 25 different nutrition and supplement products and have a team that’s best-in-class when it comes to R&D and product development. And we have a strong pipeline of new products coming out in the next 6 to 18 months. The same is true for Openfit, which features Ladder as its flagship supplement line. As Kevin mentioned, Ladder was created by LeBron James and Arnold Schwarzenegger in an effort to support LeBron’s on the court performance. And following our acquisition of the company late last year, we are partnering with them to create new fitness content for Openfit. Once again, it is the combination of fitness content, meal planning and nutrition adoption that drives the excitement across our enthusiastic community and we believe we are not only well positioned to capture meaningful share in the years ahead, but it is our obligation to deliver this healthy, total solution to as many people as possible.

 

The business we have built provides a strong foundation for growth, one that will be accelerated through this transaction and the creation of the new Beachbody Company. We are incredibly excited by the many levers we have to drive both revenue and earnings growth, but most important, allocate capital in a way that will help tens of millions of more people.

Our legacy Beachbody business has a long history of acquiring customers efficiently -- we believe we can supercharge subscriber growth by strategically investing in marketing to double down on customer acquisition using our proven playbook across all three of our key brands by focusing on celebrating the customer experience and their results.

 

And while we are prominent in the U.S. and Canada, we currently don’t have a significant presence outside of North America. But this is a global opportunity, and we plan to scale quickly to new international markets.

 

We believe there are opportunities to improve our R&D and supply chain capabilities that would enable faster development and a more robust launch cycle of additional products.

 

And finally, we believe there are many attractive M&A opportunities in the market that would benefit from The Beachbody Company’s scale, distribution and marketing expertise, which we can pursue with a portion of the funds from this transaction.

 

For over 22 years we have been fueled by a culture of discipline and a focus on results, not just for customers but also when it comes to managing profitability. For 2020, our consolidated and unaudited GAAP revenue was $880 million and we are projecting a 5-year 30% revenue CAGR off this base, driven by the strategy for growth that I just outlined. We believe that marketing can fuel a fourfold increase in digital subscriptions to over 10 million subscribers and a mid-teens adjusted EBITDA margin by 2025. That's exactly why I'm going all in on this plan – we have an opportunity to help hundreds of millions of people get healthy with a very affordable alternative and we're committed to doing that in a financially productive and profitable way.

 

The proposed transaction implies an enterprise valuation for The Beachbody Company of $2.9 billion, or two times 2022 expected revenue, which is well below peers across multiple categories.

 

To wrap up, I am incredibly excited for what lies ahead for us, but most important, what lies ahead for the customer. With our best-in-class digital fitness library, premium nutrition offering and expansion into connected fitness, we are uniquely positioned to capitalize on the digital disruption that is transforming our industry and make sure more people get the healthy results they are looking for. That’s what Beachbody does. We have a seasoned and experience management team, in addition to the partnership of Kevin and Tom, that will serve us well as we embark on the next chapter of growth for our company.
