Introduction The Company was formed as a blank check company incorporated on October 30, 2018 as a Delaware corporation whose business purpose was to effect a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “business combination”). On November 14, 2018, GA International Services Corp. (“GA International”), a California corporation, owned by Great American Group, LLC (“Great American”), a wholly owned subsidiary of B. Riley Financial, Inc. (“B. Riley Financial”) merged into BRPM. GA International operated as GA International Services, LLC, a former California limited liability company, from the date of its incorporation on October 9, 2012 through November 5, 2018, the date it was converted from a limited liability company to a California corporation. All of the membership interests in GA International Services, LLC were issued to Great American in 2012. Based on its business activities, BRPM was a “shell company” as defined under the Exchange Act because it had no operations and nominal assets consisting almost entirely of cash. Until the consummation of the business combination, the Company did not engage in any operations nor generated any revenue. On April 11, 2019, the Company consummated its initial public offering (the “initial public offering” or “IPO”) of 14,375,000 units (the “units”), including the issuance of 1,875,000 units as a result of the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option. Each unit consisted of one share of Class A common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitled the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. The units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds, before expenses, of $143.75 million. In connection with our initial formation in 2012, a wholly-owned subsidiary of B. Riley Financial which is the parent of our Sponsor was issued all of our outstanding equity. Prior to the consummation of the initial public offering, in November 2018, we conducted a 1:3,593,750 stock split and reclassification of our common stock, resulting in our sole stockholder owning 3,593,750 shares of our Class B common stock (the “founder shares”). On March 12, 2019, 20,000 founder shares were transferred to each of Patrick J. Bartels, Jr., James L. Kempner, Timothy M. Presutti and Robert Suss, then our independent directors, at their par value, and on April 4, 2019, the remaining 3,513,750 founder shares were contributed to our Sponsor. The number of founder shares outstanding was determined based on the expectation that the founder shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares after the IPO. As such, prior to the business combination, our initial stockholders collectively owned founder shares representing 20% of our issued and outstanding shares, excluding the private placement shares underlying the private placement units. Up to 468,750 founder shares were subject to forfeiture by our sponsor depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised so that our initial stockholders would maintain ownership of founder shares representing 20% of our common stock after the IPO excluding the private placement shares underlying the private placement units. As the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full, such shares are no longer subject to forfeiture. Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, we consummated the private placement (“private placement”) of 462,500 private placement units (“private placement units”), including the issuance of 37,500 private placement units as a result of the underwriter’s exercise of their over-allotment option, each exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant at $11.50 per share, to the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per private placement unit, generating gross proceeds of approximately $4.625 million. Upon the closing of the initial public offering (including the over-allotment) and the private placement on April 11, 2019, approximately $143,750,000 from the net proceeds of the sale of the units in the initial public offering and the private placement was placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee (the “Trust Account”). On February 14, 2020, the Company consummated the business combination (as defined below), pursuant to which the Company acquired Alta Equipment Holdings, Inc. (“Alta”) (the acquisition is referred to herein as the “business combination”). In connection with the closing of the business combination (the “Closing”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) between the Company, BR Canyon Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Alta and Ryan Greenawalt, Merger Sub merged with and into Alta, with Alta surviving the merger as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and in connection therewith the Company changed its name from B. Riley Principal Merger Corp. to Alta Equipment Group Inc. (the “Merger”). 1 In connection with the business combination, 1,049,036 shares of Class A common stock were redeemed at a per share price of approximately $10.14 on February 14, 2020. Upon the Closing, the Company had 29,511,359 shares of common stock outstanding. Further information regarding the business combination and the Company is set forth in (i) the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 23, 2020 (the “Proxy Statement”) and (ii) the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 14, 2020. Except as otherwise expressly provided below, this report does not reflect the consummation of the business combination which, as discussed above, occurred subsequent to the period covered hereunder. Employees As of December 31, 2019 and prior to the business combination, BRPM had two executive officers. These individuals were not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters but they intended to devote as much of their time as they deemed necessary to our affairs until we completed an initial business combination. BRPM had no full-time employees prior to the completion of the business combination. Available Information We are required to file Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on a regular basis, and are required to disclose certain material events in a Current Report on Form 8-K. The SEC also maintains an Internet website that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC. The SEC’s Internet website is located at http://www.sec.gov. 2 Item 1A. Risk Factors. RISK FACTORS An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully all of the risks described below, together with the other information contained in this Transition Report, before making a decision to invest in our securities. If any of the following events occur, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. Risks Relating to the Company’s Business and Industry The Company’s business could be adversely affected by declines in construction and industrial activities, or a downturn in the economy in general, which could lead to decreased demand for equipment, depressed equipment rental rates and lower sales prices, resulting in a decline in the Company’s revenues, gross margins and operating results. The Company’s equipment is principally used in connection with construction and industrial activities. Consequently, a downturn in construction or industrial activities, or the economy in general, may lead to a decrease in the demand for equipment or depress rental rates and the sales prices for the Company’s equipment. the Company’s business may also be negatively impacted, either temporarily or long-term, by: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● a reduction in spending levels by customers; unfavorable credit markets affecting end-user access to capital; adverse changes in federal, state and local government infrastructure spending; an increase in the cost of construction materials; adverse weather conditions or natural disasters which may affect a particular region; a prolonged shutdown of the U.S. government; an increase in interest rates; or terrorism or hostilities involving the United States. 3 Unfavorable conditions or disruptions in the capital and credit markets may adversely impact business conditions and the availability of credit. Disruptions in the global capital and credit markets as a result of an economic downturn, economic uncertainty, changing or increased regulation, reduced alternatives or failures of significant financial institutions could adversely affect the Company’s customers’ ability to access capital and could adversely affect the Company’s access to liquidity needed for business in the future. Additionally, unfavorable market conditions may depress demand for the Company’s products and services or make it difficult for the Company’s customers to obtain financing and credit on reasonable terms. Unfavorable market conditions also may cause more of the Company’s customers to be unable to meet their payment obligations to the Company, increasing delinquencies and credit losses. If the Company is unable to manage credit risk or customer risk adequately, the Company’s credit losses could increase above historical levels and the Company’s operating results would be adversely affected. the Company’s suppliers may also be adversely impacted by unfavorable capital and credit markets, causing disruption or delay of product availability. These events could negatively impact the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company’s inability to forecast trends accurately may adversely impact the Company’s business and financial condition. An economic downturn or economic uncertainty makes it difficult for the Company to forecast trends, which may have an adverse impact on the Company’s business and financial condition. Uncertainty regarding future equipment product demand could cause the Company to maintain excess equipment inventory and increase the Company’s equipment inventory carrying costs. Alternatively, this forecasting difficulty could cause a shortage of equipment for sale or rental that could result in an inability to satisfy demand for the Company’s products and a loss of market shares. The Company’s substantial indebtedness could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition. The Company has, and will continue to have, a significant amount of indebtedness outstanding. The Company’s indebtedness may result in important consequences, such as: ● ● ● ● ● increasing the Company’s vulnerability to general adverse economic, industry and competitive conditions; requiring the Company to dedicate a substantial portion of its cash flow from operations to payments on its indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of its cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes; limiting the Company’s flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in the Company’s business and the industry in which it operates; placing the Company at a competitive disadvantage compared to its competitors that have less debt; and limiting the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or general corporate purposes. The Company expects to use cash flow from operations and borrowings under its credit facilities to meet its current and future financial obligations, including funding its operations, debt service and capital expenditures. The Company’s ability to make these payments depends on the Company’s future performance, which will be affected by financial, business, economic and other factors, many of which the Company cannot control. The Company’s business may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future, which could result in the Company’s being unable to repay indebtedness, or to fund other liquidity needs. If the Company does not have enough capital, it may be forced to reduce or delay its business activities and capital expenditures, sell assets, obtain additional debt or equity capital or restructure or refinance all or a portion of its debt. The Company cannot make any assurances that it will be able to accomplish any of these alternatives on terms acceptable to it, or at all. In addition, the Company’s current and future credit arrangements may limit the Company’s ability to pursue any of these alternatives. The Company may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of the Company’s indebtedness and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy its obligations under its indebtedness, which may not be successful. The Company’s ability to make scheduled debt payments depends on its financial and operating performance, which is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business and other factors beyond the Company’s control. The Company cannot make assurances that we will maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit it to pay scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Company’s indebtedness. In the absence of adequate operating performance, the Company could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet its debt service and other obligations. The Company may not be able to consummate those dispositions, and any proceeds it does receive from a disposition may not be adequate to meet any debt service obligations then due. 4 If the Company’s cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund its debt service obligations, the Company may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell assets or operations, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance its indebtedness. The agreements governing credit facilities restrict the Company’s business and its ability to engage in certain corporate and financial transactions. The agreements governing the credit facilities contain certain covenants that, among other things, restrict or limit the Company’s and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to: ● ● incur more debt; pay dividends and make distributions; ● make investments; ● ● ● ● repurchase stock; create liens; enter into transactions with affiliates; enter into sale and lease-back transactions; ● merge or consolidate; and ● transfer and sell assets. Events beyond the Company’s control can affect its ability to meet these financial conditions tests and to comply with other provisions governing the Company’s credit facilities. The Company’s failure to comply with obligations under the agreements may result in an event of default. A default, if not cured or waived, may permit acceleration of this indebtedness and the Company’s other indebtedness. The Company may not be able to remedy these defaults. If the Company’s indebtedness is accelerated, it may not have sufficient funds available to pay the accelerated indebtedness and may not have the ability to refinance the accelerated indebtedness on terms favorable to the Company or at all. The Company’s business could be hurt if it is unable to obtain additional capital as required, resulting in a decrease in the Company’s revenues and profitability. In addition, the Company’s inability to refinance its indebtedness on favorable terms, or at all, could materially and adversely affect the Company’s liquidity and its ongoing results of operations. The cash that the Company generates from its business, together with cash that it may borrow, if credit is available, may not be sufficient to fund the Company’s capital requirements. The Company may require additional financing to obtain capital for, among other purposes, purchasing equipment, completing acquisitions, establishing new locations and refinancing existing indebtedness. Any additional indebtedness that the Company incurs will make it more vulnerable to economic downturns and limit the Company’s ability to withstand competitive pressures. Moreover, the Company may not be able to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms, if at all. If it is unable to obtain sufficient additional financing in the future, the Company’s business could be adversely affected by reducing its ability to increase revenues and profitability. In addition, the Company’s ability to refinance indebtedness will depend in part on the Company’s operating and financial performance, which, in turn, is subject to prevailing economic conditions and to financial, business, legislative, regulatory and other factors beyond the Company’s control. In addition, prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of refinancing could increase the Company’s interest expense. A refinancing of the Company’s indebtedness could also require it to comply with more onerous covenants and further restrict the Company’s business operations. the Company’s inability to refinance the Company’s indebtedness or to do so upon attractive terms could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, and make it vulnerable to adverse industry and general economic conditions. The Company’s revenue and operating results may fluctuate, which could result in a decline in the Company’s profitability and make it more difficult for the Company to grow its business. The Company’s revenue and operating results may vary from quarter to quarter any by season. Periods of decline could result in an overall decline in profitability and make it more difficult for the Company to make payments on its indebtedness and grow the Company’s business. We expect the Company’s quarterly results to fluctuate in the future due to a number of factors, including: ● ● general economic conditions in the markets where we operate; the cyclical nature of the Company’s customers’ business, particularly the Company’s construction customers; 5 ● ● ● ● ● ● seasonal sales and rental patterns of the Company’s construction customers; changes in the size of the Company’s rental fleet and/or in the rate at which it sells its used equipment from the fleet; changes in corporate spending or changes in government spending for infrastructure projects; changes in interest rates and related changes in the Company’s interest expense and the Company’s debt service obligations; the effectiveness of integrating acquired businesses and new start-up locations; and timing of acquisitions and new location openings and related costs. In addition, the Company incurs various costs when integrating newly acquired businesses or opening new start-up locations, and the profitability of a new location is generally expected to be lower in the initial months of operation. The Company may not be able to identify or complete transactions with attractive acquisition candidates. Future acquisitions may result in significant transaction expenses and the Company may involve significant costs. The Company may experience integration and consolidation risks associated with future acquisitions. An important element of the Company’s growth strategy is to selectively pursue on an opportunistic basis acquisitions of additional businesses, in particular rental companies that complement the Company’s existing business and footprint. The success of this element of the Company’s growth strategy depends, in part, on selecting strategic acquisition candidates at attractive prices and effectively integrating their businesses into the Company’s own, including with respect to financial reporting and regulatory matters. The Company cannot assure you that it will be able to identify attractive acquisition candidates or complete the acquisition of any identified candidates at favorable prices and upon advantageous terms and conditions, including financing alternatives. The Company may not have sufficient management, financial and other resources to integrate and consolidate any future acquisitions. Any significant diversion of management’s attention or any major difficulties encountered in the integration of the businesses the Company acquire could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations, which could decrease the Company’s profitability and make it more difficult for the Company to grow its business. Among other things, these integration risks could include: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● the loss of key employees; the disruption of operations and business; the retention of the existing clients and the retention or transition of customers and vendors; the integration of corporate cultures and maintenance of employee morale; inability to maintain and increase competitive presence; customer loss and revenue loss; possible inconsistencies in standards, control procedures and policies; problems with the assimilation of new operations, sites or personnel, which could divert resources from the Company’s regular operations; integration of financial reporting and regulatory reporting functions; and/or potential unknown liabilities. In addition, general economic conditions or unfavorable capital and credit markets could affect the timing and extent to which the Company can successfully acquire or integrate new businesses, which could limit the Company’s revenues and profitability. The Company is subject to competition, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business by reducing the Company’s ability to increase or maintain revenues or profitability. The equipment rental and retail distribution industries are highly competitive and the equipment rental industry is highly fragmented. Many of the markets in which the Company operates are served by a large number of competitors, ranging from national and multi-regional equipment rental companies to small, independent businesses with a limited number of locations. Some of the Company’s competitors have significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than the Company does, and may be able to reduce rental rates or sales prices. The Company may encounter increased competition from existing competitors or new market entrants in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. 6 The Company may not be able to facilitate its growth strategy by identifying and opening start-up locations, which could limit the Company’s revenues and profitability. An element of the Company’s growth strategy is to selectively identify and implement start-up locations in order to add new customers. The success of this element of the Company’s growth strategy depends, in part, on identifying strategic start-up locations. The Company cannot be sure that it will be able to identify attractive start-up locations, and opening start-up locations may involve significant costs and limit the Company’s ability to expand its operations. The Company may not have sufficient management, financial and other resources to successfully operate new locations. Any significant diversion of management’s attention or any major difficulties encountered in the locations that the Company opens in the future could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations, which could decrease the Company’s profitability and make it more difficult for the Company to grow its business. The Company purchases a significant amount of its equipment from a limited number of manufacturers. Termination of one or more of the Company’s relationships with any of those manufacturers could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, as it may be unable to obtain adequate or timely rental and sales equipment. The Company purchases most of its rental and sales equipment from leading, nationally-known original equipment manufacturers. Approximately 57% of the Company’s rental and sales equipment is purchased from four major manufacturers (Yale, Hyster, Volvo, and JCB). Although the Company believes that it has alternative sources of supply for the rental and sales equipment it purchases in each of its core product categories, termination of one or more of the Company’s relationships with any of these major suppliers could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations if it were unable to obtain adequate or timely rental and sales equipment. The Company’s suppliers of new equipment may appoint additional distributors, sell directly or unilaterally terminate the Company’s distribution agreements, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business due to a reduction of, or inability to increase, the Company’s revenues. The Company is a distributor of new equipment and parts supplied by leading, nationally-known suppliers. Under the Company’s distribution agreements with these suppliers, manufacturers generally retain the right to appoint additional dealers and sell directly to national accounts and government agencies. The Company has distribution agreements with the Company’s equipment suppliers, it operates under the Company’s established course of dealing with the suppliers and is subject to applicable state laws regarding such relationships. In most instances, the suppliers may appoint additional distributors, elect to sell to customers directly or unilaterally terminate distribution agreements with the Company at any time without cause. Any such actions could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations due to a reduction of, or an inability to increase, the Company’s revenues. The cost of new equipment that the Company sells or purchases for use in its rental fleet may increase and in some cases, the Company may not be able to procure new equipment on a timely basis due to supplier constraints. The cost of new equipment from manufacturers that the Company sells or purchases for use in its rental fleet may increase as a result of increased raw material costs, including increases in the cost of steel, which is a primary material used in most of the equipment the Company uses, or due to increased regulatory requirements, such as those related to emissions. These increases could materially impact the Company’s financial condition or results of operations in future periods if the Company is not able to pass such cost increases through to the Company’s customers. The Company’s rental fleet is subject to residual value risk upon disposition. The market value of any given piece of rental equipment could be less than its depreciated value at the time it is sold. The market value of used rental equipment depends on several factors, including: the market price for new equipment of a like kind; wear and tear on the equipment relative to its age; worldwide and domestic demands for used equipment; the supply of used equipment on the market; and general economic conditions. Any significant decline in the selling prices for used equipment could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company incurs maintenance and repair costs associated with its rental fleet equipment that could have a material adverse effect on its business in the event these costs are greater than anticipated. As the Company’s fleet of rental equipment ages, the cost of maintaining such equipment, if not replaced within a certain period of time, generally increases. Determining the optimal age for the Company’s rental fleet equipment is based on subjective estimates made by the Company’s management team. The Company’s future operating results could be adversely affected because the Company’s maintenance and repair costs may be higher than estimated and market values of used equipment may fluctuate. 7 Security breaches and other disruptions in the Company’s information technology systems, including the Company’s customer relationship management system, could limit the Company’s capacity to effectively monitor and control its operations, compromise its or its customers’ and suppliers’ confidential information or otherwise adversely affect the Company’s operating results or business reputation. The Company’s information technology systems, some of which are managed by third parties, facilitate the Company’s ability to monitor and control the Company’s operations and adjust to changing market conditions, including processing, transmitting, storing, managing and supporting a variety of business processes, activities and information. Further, as the Company pursues its growth strategy it is also expanding and improving its information technologies, resulting in a larger technological presence and corresponding exposure to cybersecurity risk. Any disruption in any of these systems, including the Company’s customer management system, or the failure of any of these systems to operate as expected could, depending on the magnitude of the problem, adversely affect the Company’s operating results by limiting the Company’s capacity to effectively monitor and control the Company’s operations and adjust to changing market conditions. The Company collects and stores sensitive data, including proprietary business information and the proprietary business information of the Company’s customers and suppliers, in data centers and on information technology networks, including cloud-based networks. The secure operation of these information technology networks and the processing and maintenance of this information is critical to the Company’s business operations and strategy. Despite security measures and business continuity plans, the Company’s information technology networks and infrastructure may be vulnerable to damage, disruptions or shutdowns due to attacks by cyber criminals or breaches due to employee error or malfeasance or other disruptions during the process of upgrading or replacing computer software or hardware, power outages, computer viruses, telecommunication or utility failures, terrorist acts or natural disasters or other catastrophic events. The growing use and rapid evolution of technology, including mobile devices, has heightened the risk of unintentional data breaches or leaks. The occurrence of any of these events could compromise the Company’s networks, and the information stored there could be accessed, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen. In addition, the Company may need to invest additional resources to protect the security of the Company’s systems or to comply with evolving privacy, data security, cybersecurity and data protection laws applicable to the Company’s business. Any failure to effectively prevent, detect and/or recover from any such access, disclosure or other loss of information, or to comply with any such current or future law related thereto, could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability or regulatory penalties under laws protecting the privacy of personal information, disrupt operations, and damage the Company’s reputation, which could adversely affect the Company’s business. Fluctuations in fuel costs or reduced supplies of fuel could harm the Company’s business. The Company could be adversely affected by limitations on fuel supplies or significant increases in fuel prices that result in higher costs to the Company for transporting equipment from one branch to another branch or one region to another region. A significant or protracted disruption of fuel supplies could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company is dependent on key personnel. A loss of key personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, which could result in a decline in the Company’s revenues and profitability. The Company’s success is dependent, in part, on the experience and skills of the Company’s management team. Competition for top management talent within the Company’s industry is generally significant. If the Company is unable to fill and keep filled all of the Company’s senior management positions, or if the Company loses the services of any key member of the Company’s senior management team and is unable to find a suitable replacement in a timely manner, the Company may be challenged to effectively manage its business and execute its strategy. If the Company fails to maintain an effective system of internal controls, the Company may not be able to accurately report financial results or prevent fraud. Effective internal controls are necessary to provide reliable financial reports and to assist in the effective prevention of fraud. Any inability to provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud could harm the Company’s business. If the Company fails to maintain the adequacy of its internal controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, the Company could be subject to regulatory scrutiny, civil or criminal penalties or stockholder litigation. 8 In addition, failure to maintain effective internal controls could result in financial statements that do not accurately reflect the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain a system of internal controls that fully complies with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or that the Company’s management and independent registered public accounting firm will continue to conclude that the Company’s internal controls are effective. The Company is exposed to various risks related to legal proceedings or claims that could adversely affect the Company’s operating results. The nature of the Company’s business exposes it to various liability claims, which may exceed the level of the Company’s insurance coverage resulting in the Company not being fully protected. The Company is a party to lawsuits in the normal course of the Company’s business. Litigation in general can be expensive, lengthy and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict. Responding to lawsuits brought against the Company, or legal actions that the Company may initiate, can often be expensive and time-consuming. Unfavorable outcomes from these claims and/or lawsuits could adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, or financial condition, and the Company could incur substantial monetary liability and/or be required to change its business practices. The Company’s business exposes it to claims for personal injury, death or property damage resulting from the use of the equipment it rents or sells and from injuries caused in motor vehicle accidents in which the Company’s delivery and service personnel are involved and other employee related matters. Additionally, the Company could be subject to potential litigation associated with compliance with various laws and governmental regulations at the federal, state or local levels, such as those relating to the protection of persons with disabilities, employment, health, safety, security and other regulations under which the Company operates. The Company carries comprehensive insurance, subject to deductibles, at levels it believes are sufficient to cover existing and future claims made during the respective policy periods. However, the Company may be exposed to multiple claims, and, as a result, could incur significant out-of-pocket costs before reaching the deductible amount which could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the cost of such insurance policies may increase significantly upon renewal of those policies as a result of general rate increases for the type of insurance the Company carries as well as the Company’s historical experience and experience in the Company’s industry. Although the Company has not experienced any material losses that were not covered by insurance, the Company’s existing or future claims may exceed the coverage level of the Company’s insurance, and such insurance may not continue to be available on economically reasonable terms, or at all. If the Company is required to pay significantly higher premiums for insurance, is not able to maintain insurance coverage at affordable rates or if it must pay amounts in excess of claims covered by the Company’s insurance, the Company could experience higher costs that could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Labor disputes could disrupt the Company’s ability to serve its customers and/or lead to higher labor costs. The Company has approximately 320 employees who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement and approximately 1,401 employees who are not represented by unions or covered by collective bargaining agreements. Various unions periodically seek to organize certain of the Company’s nonunion employees. Union organizing efforts or collective bargaining negotiations could potentially lead to work stoppages and/or slowdowns or strikes by certain of the Company’s employees, which could adversely affect the Company’s ability to serve its customers. Further, settlement of actual or threatened labor disputes or an increase in the number of the Company’s employees covered by collective bargaining agreements can have unknown effects on the Company’s labor costs, productivity and flexibility. The Company has operations throughout the United States, which exposes it to multiple federal, state and local regulations. Changes in applicable law, regulations or requirements, or the Company’s material failure to comply with any of them, can increase the Company’s costs and have other negative impacts on the Company’s business. The Company’s 43 branch locations in the United States are located in 10 different states, which exposes it to different federal, state and local regulations. These laws and requirements address multiple aspects of the Company’s operations, such as worker safety, consumer rights, privacy, employee benefits and more, and can often have different requirements in different jurisdictions. Changes in these requirements, or any material failure by the Company’s branches to comply with them, could increase the Company’s costs, affect its reputation, limit its business, drain management’s time and attention or otherwise, generally impact its operations in adverse ways. 9 The Company could be adversely affected by environmental and safety requirements, which could force it to increase significant capital and other operational costs and may subject it to unanticipated liabilities. The Company’s operations, like those of other companies engaged in similar businesses, require the handling, use, storage and disposal of certain regulated materials. As a result, the Company is subject to the requirements of federal, state and local environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations. The Company is subject to potentially significant civil or criminal fines or penalties if it fails to comply with any of these requirements. The Company has made and will continue to make capital and other expenditures in order to comply with these laws and regulations, but the requirements of these laws and regulations are complex, change frequently, and could become more stringent in the future. It is possible that these requirements will change or that liabilities will arise in the future in a manner that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Environmental laws also impose obligations and liability for the cleanup of properties affected by hazardous substance spills or releases. These liabilities can be imposed on the parties generating or disposing of such substances or the operator of the affected property, often without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of hazardous substances. Accordingly, the Company may become liable, either contractually or by operation of law, for remediation costs even if a contaminated property is not currently owned or operated by the Company, or if the contamination was caused by third parties during or prior to the Company’s ownership or operation of the property. Given the nature of the Company’s operations (which involve the use of petroleum products, solvents and other hazardous substances for fueling and maintaining the Company’s equipment and vehicles), there can be no assurance that prior site assessments or investigations have identified all potential instances of soil or groundwater contamination. Future events, such as changes in existing laws or policies or their enforcement, or the discovery of currently unknown contamination, may give rise to additional remediation liabilities, which may be material. Changes in U.S. trade policies could significantly reduce the volume of imported goods into the United States, which may materially reduce truck freight volume in the United States and the Company’s sales. The current presidential administration and members of the U.S. Congress have made public statements indicating possible significant changes in U.S. trade policy and have taken certain actions that may impact U.S. trade, including imposing tariffs on certain goods imported into the United States. Any changes in U.S. trade policy could trigger retaliatory actions by affected countries, resulting in “trade wars,” in increased costs for goods imported into the United States, which may reduce customer demand for these products if the parties having to pay those tariffs increase their prices, or in trading partners limiting their trade with the United States. If these consequences are realized, the volume of economic activity in the United States, including trucking freight volume, may be materially reduced. Such a reduction may materially and adversely affect the Company’s sales and the Company’s business. Further, the realization of these matters may increase the Company’s cost of goods and, if those costs cannot be passed on to the Company’s customers, the Company’s business and profits may be materially and adversely affected. The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, or similar global health concerns, could negatively impact our operations, supply chain and customer base. The COVID-19 outbreak has severely restricted the level of economic activity around the world. Our operations and supply chains for certain of our products or services could be negatively impacted by the regional or global outbreak of illnesses, including COVID-19. Any quarantines, labor shortages or other disruptions to our operations, or those of our suppliers or customers, may adversely impact our sales and operating results. In addition, a significant outbreak of epidemic, pandemic or contagious diseases in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, including those in which we operate, resulting in an economic downturn that could affect the supply or demand for our products and services. We are unable to accurately predict the possible future effect on the Company, which could be material to our 2020 results, and which is highly dependent on the breadth and duration of the outbreak and could be affected by other factors we are not currently able to predict, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19, the success of actions taken to contain or treat COVID-19, and reactions by consumers, companies, governmental entities and capital markets. Any widespread growth in infections, or travel restrictions, quarantines or site closures imposed as a result of COVID- 19, could, among other things, require the Company to implement mandatory work-from-home protocols resulting in additional expenses and strain on the business as well as adversely impact its supply chain.

References to the “Company,” “our,” “us” or “we” refer to Alta Equipment Group Inc. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations, estimates and assumptions concerning events and financial trends that may affect our future operating results or financial position. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Overview BRPM was formed as a blank check company incorporated on October 30, 2018 as a Delaware corporation formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “business combination”). On November 14, 2018, GA International Services Corp. (“GA International”), a California corporation, owned by Great American Group, LLC (“Great American”), a wholly owned subsidiary of B. Riley Financial, Inc. (“B. Riley Financial”) merged into BRPM. GA International operated as GA International Services, LLC, a former California limited liability company, from the date of its incorporation on October 9, 2012 through November 5, 2018, the date it was converted from a limited liability company to a California corporation. All of the membership interests in GA International Services, LLC were issued to Great American in 2012. Based on its business activities, BRPM was a “shell company” as defined under the Exchange Act because it had no operations and nominal assets consisting almost entirely of cash. Until the consummation of the business combination, the Company did not engage in any operations nor generated any revenue. On April 11, 2019, the Company consummated its initial public offering (the “initial public offering”) of 14,375,000 units (the “units”), including the issuance of 1,875,000 units as a result of the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option. Each unit consisted of one Class A common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitled the holder thereof to purchase one Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. The units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds, before expenses, of $143,750,000. In connection with our initial formation in 2012, a wholly-owned subsidiary of B. Riley Financial which is the parent of our Sponsor was issued all of our outstanding equity. Prior to the consummation of the initial public offering, in November, 2018, we conducted a 1:3,593,750 stock split and reclassification of our common stock, resulting in our sole stockholder owning 3,593,750 founder shares. On March 12, 2019, 20,000 founder shares were transferred to each of Patrick J. Bartels, Jr., James L. Kempner, Timothy M. Presutti and Robert Suss, then our independent directors, at their par value, and on April 4, 2019, the remaining 3,513,750 founder shares were contributed to our Sponsor. The number of founder shares outstanding was determined based on the expectation that the founder shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares after the IPO. As such, our initial stockholders collectively own founder shares representing 20% of our issued and outstanding shares, excluding the private placement shares underlying the private placement units. Up to 468,750 founder shares were subject to forfeiture by our sponsor depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised so that our initial stockholders would maintain ownership of founder shares representing 20% of our common stock after the IPO excluding the private placement shares underlying the private placement units. As the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full, such shares are no longer subject to forfeiture. Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, we consummated the private placement (“private placement”) of 462,500 private placement units (“private placement units”), including the issuance of 37,500 private placement units as a result of the underwriter’s exercise of their over-allotment option, each exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant at $11.50 per share, to the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of approximately $4.625 million. Upon the closing of the initial public offering (including the over-allotment) and the private placement on April 11, 2019, approximately $143,750,000 from the net proceeds of the sale of the units in the initial public offering and the private placement was placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee (the “Trust Account”). The funds in the Trust Account were invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with maturities of 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by us, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of an initial business combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account. 12 Business Combination On December 12, 2019, BRPM entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with BR Canyon Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of BRPM (“Merger Sub”), Alta Equipment Holdings Inc., a Michigan corporation (“Alta”) and Ryan Greenawalt. On February 11, 2020, the business combination was approved by the stockholders of BRPM at the special meeting of stockholders. In connection with the business combination, 1,049,036 shares of the Company’s common stock were redeemed at a per share price of approximately $10.14. On February 14, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), we consummated the business combination, pursuant to which the Company acquired Alta. In connection with the closing of the business combination (the “Closing”), pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Alta, with Alta surviving the merger in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Immediately after the Closing, we had 29,511,359 shares of common stock outstanding, 16,884,213 of which were held by non-affiliates of the Company. At the time of our IPO, we entered into the forward purchase agreement which provided for the purchase, immediately prior to the closing of the business combination, by BRPI, an affiliate of the Sponsor, or its designees of $25,000,000 of our units at a price of $10.00 per unit, or an aggregate of 2,500,000 units, each comprised of one share of Class A common stock and one-half of one warrant. On February 14, 2020, in connection with the forward purchase agreement, BRPI purchased 2,500,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000,000 in a private placement that took place concurrently with the close of the initial business combination.

Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Alta Equipment Group, Inc. (formerly known as B. Riley Principal Merger Corp.) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related statements of operations, stockholder’s equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. /s/ Marcum LLP Marcum LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2018.

(Formerly known as B. Riley Principal Merger Corp.) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS Organization and General B. Riley Principal Merger Corp. (the “Company”), a blank check corporation, was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on October 30, 2018. The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”).

Public Offering The Company completed the sale of 12,500,000 Units at an offering price of $10.00 per unit through the Public Offering. B. Riley Principal Sponsor Co., LLC (the “Sponsor”), a Delaware limited liability company, was incorporated on October 11, 2018 as a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of B. Riley Financial. The Sponsor subscribed to purchase an aggregate of 425,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per unit (the “Private Placement Unit”) in a private placement that closed on April 11, 2019 simultaneously with the Public Offering. The sale of the 12,500,000 Units generated gross proceeds of $125,000,000, less underwriting commissions of $2,500,000 (2% of gross proceeds) and other offering costs of $639,723. The Private Placement Units generated $4,250,000 of proceeds. Each unit consists of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value (each a “public share”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable for one share of Class A common stock (each, a “Warrant” and, collectively, the “Warrants” and, with respect to the warrants underlying the Private Placement Units, the “Private Placement Warrants”). One Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one whole share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase on a pro rata basis up to 1,875,000 additional units at the initial public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On April 12, 2019, the Company consummated the closing of the sale of 1,875,000 additional units (“Overallotment Units”) upon receiving notice of the underwriters’ election to exercise their overallotment option, generating additional gross proceeds of $18,750,000 and incurring additional offering costs of $375,000 (2% of gross proceeds) in underwriting fees. Simultaneously with the exercise of the overallotment, the Company consummated the Private Placement of an additional 37,500 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $375,000. In addition, as a result of the underwriters’ election to exercise their overallotment option the Founder Shares, as defined in Note 3, were no longer forfeitable. Note Payable - Related Party On November 16, 2018, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 (see Note 3) to support the Company’s initial formation and operations. At December 31, 2018, $50,000 was outstanding on the loan and such loan was repaid using proceeds from the Public Offering on April 12, 2019. F-6 The Trust Account Upon completion of the Public Offering and issuance of the Overallotment Units, $143,750,000 of proceeds were deposited in the Trust Account to be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds registered under the Investment Company Act and compliant with Rule 2a-7 thereof that maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00. The balance in the Trust Account at December 31, 2019 was $145,998,591. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, the proceeds from the Public Offering may not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of: (i) the completion of the Initial Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its public shares if it does not complete the Initial Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Public Offering; or (iii) the redemption of all of the Company’s public shares if the Company is unable to complete the Initial Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Public Offering (at which such time up to $100,000 of interest shall be available to the Company to pay dissolution expenses), subject to applicable law. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public stockholders. Initial Business Combination The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Public Offering and the Private Placement are intended to be generally applied toward consummating an Initial Business Combination. The Initial Business Combination must occur with one or more businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account less taxes payable on interest earned on the Trust Account. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect an Initial Business Combination. The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for an Initial Business Combination, provided its public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their shares upon the completion of the Initial Business Combination, either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the business combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. However, in no event would the Company have redeemed its public shares in an amount that would have caused its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. In such case, the Company would not have proceeded with the redemption of its public shares and the related Initial Business Combination, and instead would have searched for an alternate Initial Business Combination. If the Company was to hold a stockholder vote or there was a tender offer for shares in connection with an Initial Business Combination, a public stockholder would have the right to redeem its shares for an amount in cash equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, including interest but less taxes payable. As a result, such shares of Class A common stock have been recorded at redemption amount and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Public Offering, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” See Note 6 – Subsequent Events for the redemption amount. Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, if the Company had been unable to complete the Initial Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Public Offering, the Company would (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten business days thereafter redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest but less taxes payable (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Letter Agreement The Company’s Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed, among other things (a) to waive their redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and any Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of the Initial Business Combination, (b) to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and public shares in connection with a stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of its obligation to redeem 100% of its public shares if it does not complete an Initial Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Public Offering and (c) to vote their Founder Shares and any public shares purchased during or after the Public Offering (including in open market and privately negotiated transactions) in favor of the Initial Business Combination. F-7 Forward Purchase Agreement B. Riley Principal Investments, LLC (“BRPI”), a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of the Sponsor, entered into a forward purchase agreement with the Company to provide for the purchase by it (or its designees) of an aggregate of 2,500,000 units at $10.00 per unit for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000,000 in a private placement to close concurrently with the closing of the Initial Business Combination. The proceeds from the sale of the forward purchase units were available to be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in the Initial Business Combination, to pay expenses in connection with the Initial Business Combination or for working capital in the post-business combination company. The forward purchase was required to be made regardless of whether any Class A common stock was redeemed by the Company’s public stockholders and was intended to provide the Company with a minimum funding level for the Initial Business Combination. The forward purchaser did not have the ability to approve the Initial Business Combination prior to the signing of a material definitive agreement. The forward purchase units were issued only in connection with the closing of the Initial Business Combination. The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares held by them if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within 18 months of the closing of the Public Offering. However, if the Sponsor or any of the Company’s directors or officers acquires shares of Class A common stock in or after the Public Offering, they are entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within the prescribed time period. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company after an Initial Business Combination, the Company’s remaining stockholders are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. The Company’s stockholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock, except that the Company will provide its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, under the circumstances, and, subject to the limitations, described herein. On February 14, 2020, BRPI purchased 2,500,000 units at $10.00 per unit for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000,000 in a private placement concurrently with the close of the Initial Business Combination. NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The financial statements of the Company are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Emerging Growth Company Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. F-8 Income (Loss) Per Common Share Income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. The Company applies the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Shares of common stock subject to possible redemption at December 31, 2019, which are not currently redeemable and are not redeemable at fair value, have been excluded from the calculation of basic income (loss) per share since such shares, if redeemed, only participate in their pro rata share of the Trust Account earnings. The Company has not considered the effect of warrants sold in the Offering and the Private Placement to purchase 7,418,750 shares of Class A common stock, in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share, since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. As a result, diluted income (loss) per share is the same as basic income (loss) per share for the periods presented. In connection with the Company’s merger with GA International on November 14, 2018, the Company completed a stock split 1 to 3,593,750 shares of Class B common stock on November 19, 2018. The financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split for all periods presented. Reconciliation of Income (Loss) Per Common Share The Company’s net income is adjusted for the portion of income that is attributable to shares of common stock subject to possible redemption, as these shares only participate in the earnings of the Trust Account and not the income or losses of the Company. Accordingly, basic and diluted income (loss) per share is calculated as follows: Net income (loss) Less: Income attributable to common stock subject to possible redemption Adjusted net loss Weighted average shares outstanding, basic and diluted Basic and diluted loss per common share Cash and Cash Equivalents Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 $ $ $ 8,853 $ (1,676,357) (1,667,504) $ 2,961,370 (0.56) $ — — — 3,125,000 (0.00) Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and on deposit at banking institutions with original maturities of 90 days or less. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Cash and Marketable Securities held in Trust Account: The amounts held in the Trust Account represent proceeds from the Public Offering, the Private Placement, the Sponsor Loan, and accumulated earnings thereon totaling $2,252,652, of which $145,998,591 were invested in United States treasury obligations with original maturities of six months or less. The remaining $654,488 of proceeds were held in cash and money market mutual funds. These assets can only be used by the Company in connection with the consummation of an initial Business Combination, except that interest earned on the Trust Account can be released to the Company to pay its tax obligations. During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not withdraw any funds to pay its tax obligations. Class A Common Stock Subject To Possible Redemption At discussed in Note 1, all of the 14,375,000 shares of Class A common stock sold as part of the Units in the Public Offering contain a redemption feature. In accordance with FASB ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity,” redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of FASB ASC 480. Although the Company has not specified a maximum redemption threshold, its amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that in no event will the Company redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts. Financial Instruments The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheets, primary due to their short- term nature. F-9 Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Deferred Offering Costs The Company complies with the requirements of the FASB ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A — “Expenses of Offering.” Deferred offering costs of $162,500 as of December 31, 2018, consisted principally of costs incurred in connection with preparation for the Public Offering. The total offering costs incurred by the Company in connection with the Public Offering was $639,723. These costs and the underwriter discount, of $2,875,000, were charged to capital upon completion of the Public Offering. Income Taxes The Company is currently taxed as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a corporation, for tax purposes, the Company is subject to U.S. federal and various state and local income taxes on its earnings. For periods prior to April 11, 2019, the date of the Public Offering, the Company was included in the consolidated tax return of B. Riley Financial (the “Parent”). During this period, the Company calculated its tax liability and provision for income taxes by using a “separate return” method. Under this method the Company was assumed to file a separate return with the tax authority, thereby reporting its taxable income or loss and paying the applicable tax to, or receiving the appropriate refund from, the Parent. Following changes in ownership on April 11, 2019, the Company deconsolidated from the Parent for tax purposes. Beginning April 11, 2019, the Company files separate corporate federal and state and local income tax returns. The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company may be subject to potential examination by federal, state and city taxing authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with federal, state and city tax laws. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded income tax expense of $309,000 primarily related to interest income earned on the Trust Account. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded income tax expense of $800 related to state income taxes. F-10 Unrecognized Tax Benefits The Company recognizes tax positions in the financial statements only when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on examination by the relevant taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. A position that meets this standard is measured at the largest amount of benefit that will more likely than not be realized on settlement. A liability is established for differences between positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for interest expense and penalties related to income tax matters as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. NOTE 3 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Founder Shares In November 2018, upon the completion of the merger of GA International Services Corp. and the Company, 3,593,750 shares of Class B common stock (the “Founder Shares”) were issued to Great American in exchange for all of the common stock of GA International Services Corp. The financial statement reflects the issuance of these shares retroactively for all periods presented. As used herein, unless the context otherwise requires, Founder Shares shall be deemed to include the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion thereof. The Founder Shares are identical to the Class A common stock included in the units sold in the Public Offering, the Founder Shares automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of the Initial Business Combination and are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below, and the holders of the Founder Shares, as described in more detail below, have agreed to certain restrictions and will have certain registration rights with respect thereto. The number of Founder Shares issued was determined based on the expectation that the Founder Shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares of common stock upon completion of the Public Offering. The Company’s initial stockholders, officers and directors have agreed, not to transfer, assign or sell any Founder Shares held by them until the earlier to occur of: (i) one year after the completion of the Initial Business Combination, (ii) the last sale price of Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Initial Business Combination, or (iii) the date following the completion of the Initial Business Combination on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the public stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property. Business Combination Marketing Agreement The Company engaged B. Riley FBR, Inc. as advisors in connection with its Initial Business Combination to assist it in arranging meetings with its stockholders to discuss a potential business combination and the target business’ attributes, introduce it to potential investors that may be interested in purchasing its securities, assist it in obtaining stockholder approval for its Initial Business Combination and assist it with the preparation of press releases and public filings in connection with the Initial Business Combination. The Company will pay B. Riley FBR, Inc. for such services upon the consummation of the Initial Business Combination a cash fee in an amount equal to 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the Public Offering (exclusive of any applicable finders’ fees which might become payable). Pursuant to the terms of the business combination marketing agreement, the Company paid the cash fee of $5,031,250 and expenses of $102,413 on February 14, 2020, the closing date of the Initial Business Combination. Administrative Fees Commencing on the date of the prospectus, the Company agreed to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $10,000 a month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company was charged a total of $86,333 by the Sponsor. Upon completion of the Company’s Initial Business Combination on February 14, 2020, the Company ceased incurring these monthly fees. F-11 Registration Rights The holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Units, Private Placement Shares, Private Placement Warrants and units that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans, if any, have registration rights to require the Company to register the resale of any of its securities held by them (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion of such shares to shares of Class A common stock) pursuant to a registration rights agreement. These holders are also entitled to certain piggyback registration rights. However, the registration rights agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period for the securities to be registered. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. The Forward Purchase Agreement has substantially similar registration rights. Note Payable - Related Party On November 16, 2018, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 to support the Company’s initial formation and operations. At December 31, 2018, $50,000 was outstanding, respectively, on the loan. Additional borrowings prior to the Public Offering increased the note payable balance to $67,950 and the Company repaid the entire note payable using proceeds from the Public Offering on April 12, 2019. Payable to Related Party The Company also had an amount payable to Great American of $8,279 at December 31, 2019 and 2018. These amounts primarily reflect expenses relating to income taxes and formation expenses that were paid on behalf of the Company by Great American. The Company also had a payable to the Sponsor in the amount of $91,362 at December 31, 2019 as previously discussed above. The $8,279 amount was paid to Great American and the $91,362 amount was paid to the Sponsor on March 16, 2020. NOTE 4 — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY Common Stock The authorized common stock of the Company includes up to 100,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and 25,000,000 shares of Class B common stock. If the Company enters into an Initial Business Combination, it may (depending on the terms of such an Initial Business Combination) be required to increase the number of shares of Class A common stock which the Company is authorized to issue at the same time as the Company’s stockholders vote on the Initial Business Combination to the extent the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with the Initial Business Combination. Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock. In connection with the Company’s merger with GA International on November 14, 2018, the Company completed a stock split 1 to 3,593,750 shares of Class B common stock on November 19, 2018. At December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were 3,593,750 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding. Preferred Stock The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. At December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding. F-12 Warrants Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional Warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole Warrants will trade. The Warrants will become exercisable on the later of (a) 30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination or (b) 12 months from the closing of the Public Offering; provided in each case that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Warrants on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act). The Company will as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days, after the closing of the Initial Business Combination, use its best efforts to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, to cause such registration statement to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of the Initial Business Combination and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement. If the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants are not registered under the Securities Act by the 60th business day after the closing of the Initial Business Combination, the Company will be required to permit holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company’s Class A common stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but the Company will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. The Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The Company may call the Warrants for redemption (except with respect to the Private Placement Warrants): ● ● ● ● in whole and not in part; at a price of $0.01 per warrant; upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”); and if, and only if, the last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. If the Company calls the Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Class A common stock for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the Initial Business Combination (excluding any issuance of securities under the Forward Purchase Agreement), at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance (the “Newly Issued Price”)), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for funding the Initial Business Combination, and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Class A common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates the Initial Business Combination (the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described above will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the share of Class A common stock underlying such unit. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete an Initial Business Combination within the 18-month time period. The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Warrants underlying the units sold in the Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or such purchasers’ permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial shareholders or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Warrants. F-13 NOTE 5 — FAIR VALUE INSTRUMENTS The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities: Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. Level 3: Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. There were no assets measure on a recurring basis at fair value at December 31, 2018. At December 31, 2019, there were marketable securities in the amount our $145,998,591 with a fair value hierarchy of Level 1 that was used at valuation inputs by the Company to determine such fair value. NOTE 6 – INCOME TAX The income tax provision consists of the following: Federal Current Deferred State Current Deferred Change in valuation allowance Income tax provision expense December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 $ $ 309,000 $ - - - - 309,000 $ - - 800 - - 800 A reconciliation of the federal income tax rate to the Company’s effective tax rate at December 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows: Statutory federal income tax rate State taxes, net of federal tax benefit Non-deductible Business Combination expenses Income tax provision expense 2019 21.0% 0.0% 76.2% 97.2% 2018 21.0 % (254.9)% 0% (233.9)% As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have any U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryovers available to offset future taxable income. In assessing the realization of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have any deferred taxes. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction in various state and local jurisdictions and is subject to examination by the various taxing authorities. The Company’s tax returns since inception remain open and subject to examination. The Company considers Louisiana to be a significant state tax jurisdiction.

Board Composition The Company’s business affairs are managed under the direction of our board of directors. Our board of directors consists of five members. The Company’s third amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter”) provides that the number of directors, which is currently fixed at five members, may be increased or decreased from time to time by a resolution of our board of directors. Our board of directors is divided into two classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class serving a two-year term. The directors hold their offices for a term of two years or until their respective successors are elected and qualified, subject to such director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal. The term of office of the first class of directors, consisting of Mr. Shribman and Ms. White, will expire at our 2021 annual meeting of stockholders.

The members of the audit committee are Messrs. Savas and Studdert and Ms. White, with Mr. Studdert serving as the chair of the committee. Under the rules of the SEC, members of the audit committee must also meet heightened independence standards. All of the members of the audit committee are independent directors as defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the NYSE with respect to audit committee membership. Mr. Studdert qualifies as our “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined in Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K. Our board of directors has adopted a written charter for the audit committee. Compensation Committee Our compensation committee reviews and recommends policies relating to compensation and benefits of our officers and employees.

Each of the members of the Company’s nominating and corporate governance committee is an independent director under the applicable rules of the NYSE relating to nominating and corporate governance committee independence. Code of Business Conduct and Ethics The Company has adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to all of our employees, officers and directors, including those officers responsible for financial reporting. The Company expects that, to the extent required by law, any amendments to the code, or any waivers of its requirements, will be disclosed on our website. The information on our website is not part of this registration statement. 18 Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. These reporting persons are also required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely upon a review of such forms, we believe that during the year ended December 31, 2019 there were no delinquent filers. Item 11. Executive Compensation. Prior to the consummation of the business combination, none of BRPM’s executive officers or directors received any cash compensation for services rendered to the Company. Commencing on April 8, 2019, BRPM agreed pay $10,000 per month to B. Riley Corporate Services, Inc., an affiliate of the Sponsor, for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support provided to us for up to eighteen months. Upon completion of the business combination, the Company ceased making these monthly payments. Other than these payments, no compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, was paid by BRPM to the Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, prior to completion of the business combination. However, these individuals were reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on BRPM’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. BRPM’s audit committee reviewed on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor, BRPM’s officers or directors or any of their affiliates. Any such payments prior to the business combination were made using funds held outside the Trust Account. Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Shareholder Matters.

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days.

Prior to the consummation of the initial public offering, in November 2018, we conducted a 1:3,593,750 stock split and reclassification of our common stock, resulting in our sole stockholder owning 3,593,750 founder shares. On March 12, 2019, the Company’s sole stockholder transferred 20,000 founder shares to each of Patrick J. Bartels, Jr., James L. Kempner, Timothy M. Presutti and Robert Suss, then our independent directors, at their par value, and on April 4, 2019, the remaining 3,513,750 founder shares were contributed to our Sponsor. The number of founder shares outstanding was determined based on the expectation that the founder shares would represent 20% of the outstanding shares after the IPO. As such, prior to the business combination, our initial stockholders collectively owned founder shares representing 20% of our issued and outstanding shares, excluding the private placement shares underlying the private placement units. Up to 468,750 founder shares were subject to forfeiture by our sponsor depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised so that our initial stockholders would maintain ownership of founder shares representing 20% of our common stock after the IPO excluding the private placement shares underlying the private placement units. As the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full, such shares are no longer subject to forfeiture. Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, we consummated the sale of 462,500 private placement units to our Sponsor, including the issuance of 37,500 private placement units as a result of the underwriter’s exercise of their over-allotment option, at a price of $10.00 per private placement unit, generating gross proceeds of approximately $4.625 million. Commencing on April 8, 2019, BRPM agreed pay $10,000 per month to B. Riley Corporate Services, Inc., an affiliate of the Sponsor, for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support provided to us for up to eighteen months. Upon completion of the business combination, the Company ceased making these monthly payments. Other than these payments, no compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, was paid by BRPM to the Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, prior to completion of the business combination. However, these individuals were reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on BRPM’s behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. BRPM’s audit committee reviewed on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to the Sponsor, BRPM’s officers or directors or any of their affiliates. Any such payments prior to the business combination were made using funds held outside the Trust Account. 20 On August 22, 2018, BRPM issued a promissory note to the Sponsor (the “Promissory Note”), pursuant to which BRPM borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $300,000. The Promissory Note was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on the earlier of May 30, 2019 or the completion of the IPO. The Promissory Note was repaid upon the consummation of the IPO. At the time of our IPO, we entered into the forward purchase agreement which provided for the purchase, immediately prior to the closing of the business combination, by BRPI, an affiliate of the Sponsor, or its designees of $25,000,000 of our units at a price of $10.00 per unit, or an aggregate of 2,500,000 units, each comprised of one forward purchase share and one-half of one forward purchase warrant. The forward purchase was to be made regardless of whether any shares of Class A common stock were redeemed in connection with the business combination. In addition, the holders of the founder shares, the private placement shares, the private placement warrants, the shares of Common Stock underlying the private placement warrants, the forward purchase shares, the forward purchase warrants and the shares of Common Stock underlying the forward purchase warrants are entitled to registration rights. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a business combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. Business Combination Marketing Agreement Pursuant to the business combination marketing agreement entered into upon the closing of the IPO by BRPM and BRFBR, upon closing of the business combination we paid BRFBR a fee of $5,031,250 in consideration of services provides in connection with marketing and completing our business combination, or 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO. Placement Agent Engagement We engaged BRFBR to act as our sole placement agent in connection with the issuance of our securities in a private placement to certain accredited investors, or PIPE investors, in connection with the business combination. BRFBR did not receive a fee for acting as placement agent. We agreed to reimburse BRFBR for its fees relating to the private placement. Director Independence NYSE listing standards require that a majority of the Company’s board of directors be independent. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship which in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The Company’s board of directors has determined that Messrs. Savas and Studdert and Ms. White are “independent directors” as defined in Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and the rules of the NYSE. The Company’s independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present. 21 Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services.

(the “Company”) has two classes of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”): (1) Class A common stock and (2) warrants. The following description of the Class A common stock and warrants is a summary and does not purport to be complete. It is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to our third amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter”) and our amended and restated bylaws (the “Bylaws”), each of which are incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 10-K of which this Exhibit 4.4 is a part. We encourage you to read our Charter, our Bylaws and the applicable provisions of Delaware General Corporations Law (Title 8, Chapter 1 of the Delaware Code). Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of which this Exhibit 4.4 is a part. Authorized and Outstanding Stock The Charter authorizes the issuance of 201,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of (x) 200,000,000 authorized shares of common stock and (y) 1,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. As of March 23, 2020, there were 29,511,359 shares of common stock outstanding. Common Stock Voting Power Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any certificate of designation for any series of preferred stock, the holders of common stock possess all voting power for the election of the Company’s directors and all other matters requiring stockholder action and will at all times vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company. Common stockholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. Unless specified in our Charter or bylaws, or as required by applicable provisions of the DGCL or applicable stock exchange rules, the affirmative vote of a majority of our shares of common stock that are voted is required to approve any such matter voted on by our stockholders. Our board of directors is divided into two classes, each of which will generally serve for a term of two years with only one class of directors being elected in each year. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voted for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Our stockholders are entitled to receive ratable dividends when, as and if declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefor. Dividends Holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors in its discretion out of funds legally available therefor and shall share equally on a per share basis in such dividends and distributions. Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding Up In the event of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding-up of the Company, the holders of common stock will be entitled to receive an equal amount per share of all of the Company’s assets of whatever kind available for distribution to stockholders, after the rights of the holders of the preferred stock have been satisfied and after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Company. Preemptive or Other Rights The Company’s stockholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights and there will be no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to common stock. Election of Directors The Company’s board of directors is classified into two classes, designated as Class I and Class II. The directors first elected to Class I will hold office for a term expiring at the first annual meeting of stockholders following the consummation of the business combination; and the directors first elected to Class II will hold office for a term expiring at the second annual meeting of stockholders following the consummation of the business combination. At each succeeding annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company, the successors to the class of directors whose term expires at that meeting will be elected by plurality vote of all votes cast at such meeting to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders held in the second year following the year of their election. Warrants Public Warrants Each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below. The warrants will expire on February 14, 2025, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless the Company has declared effective a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder (or we permit holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis under the circumstances specified in the warrant agreement), subject to the Company satisfying its obligations described below with respect to registration. In the event that the conditions in the immediately preceding sentence are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the share of common stock underlying such unit. Notwithstanding the above, if the shares of common stock are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at our option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but will use our best efforts to qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may call the warrants for redemption: • at a price of $0.01 per warrant; • upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; • if, and only if, the last reported closing price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and • if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of common stock underlying such warrants at the time of redemption and a current prospectus relating to those shares of common stock is available throughout the 30-day trading period referred to above. The Company will not redeem the warrants unless an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of common stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period, except if the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act. The Company has established the last of the redemption criterion discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and the Company issues a notice of redemption of the warrants, each warrant holder will be entitled to exercise his, her or its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the common stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) as well as the $11.50 warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued. If the Company calls the warrants for redemption as described above, our management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise his, her or its warrant to do so on a “cashless basis.” In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis,” the Company’s management will consider, among other factors, our cash position, the number of warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on our stockholders of issuing the maximum number of shares issuable upon the exercise of our warrants. If the Company’s management takes advantage of this option, all holders of warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. If the Company’s management takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of shares of common stock to be received upon exercise of the warrants, including the “fair market value” in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will reduce the number of shares to be issued and thereby lessen the dilutive effect of a warrant redemption. If the Company calls the warrants for redemption and our management does not take advantage of this option, the holders of the private placement warrants and their permitted transferees would still be entitled to exercise their forward purchase and private placement warrants for cash or on a cashless basis using the same formula described above that other warrant holders would have been required to use had all warrant holders been required to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis, as described in more detail below. A holder of a warrant may notify the Company in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates), to the warrant agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 9.9% (or such other amount as specified by the holder) of the shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. If the number of outstanding shares of common stock is increased by a share dividend payable in common stock, or by a split-up of common stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such share dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding shares of common stock. A rights offering to holders of common stock entitling holders to purchase shares of common stock at a price less than the fair market value will be deemed a share dividend of a number of shares of common stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of common stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock) multiplied by (ii) one (1) minus the quotient of (a) the price per share of common stock paid in such rights offering divided by (b) the fair market value. For these purposes (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock, in determining the price payable for shares of common stock, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) fair market value means the volume weighted average price of shares of common stock as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the shares of common stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights. In addition, if the Company, at any time while the warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pays a dividend or makes a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of common stock on account of such common stock (or other securities into which the warrants are convertible), other than (i) as described above, (ii) certain ordinary cash dividends, (iii) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of shares of common stock in connection with a proposed initial business combination, (iv) as a result of the repurchase of shares of common stock by the Company if the proposed initial business combination is presented to the stockholders of the Company for approval, or (v) in connection with the redemption of our public shares upon our failure to complete our initial business combination, then the warrant exercise price will be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such event, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any securities or other assets paid on each share of common stock in respect of such event. Additionally, if the number of outstanding shares of common stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse share split or reclassification of the shares of common stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse share split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of common stock. Whenever the number of shares of common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants is adjusted, as described above, the warrant exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which will be the number of shares of common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of common stock so purchasable immediately thereafter. In addition, if (x) we issue additional shares of common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of common stock for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the business combination (excluding any issuance of securities under the forward purchase agreement), at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by our board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to our sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any founder shares held by our sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance (the “Newly Issued Price”)), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for funding the business combination, and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates the business combination (the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price. In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of common stock (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of such shares), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the holders of the warrants will thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the warrants and in lieu of the shares of common stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of common stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the warrants would have received if such holder had exercised their warrants immediately prior to such event. If less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of common stock in such a transaction is payable in the form of shares of common stock in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the registered holder of the warrant properly exercises the warrant within thirty days following public disclosure of such transaction, the warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the warrant agreement based on the Black-Scholes value (as defined in the warrant agreement) of the warrant. The warrants are issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and the Company. The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then-outstanding public warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of public warrants. The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price (or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified or official bank check payable to the Company, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of common stock and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of common stock. After the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number of shares of common stock to be issued to the warrant holder. Private Placement Warrants The private placement warrants (including the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants) were not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the business combination, subject to certain exceptions, and they will not be redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by our Sponsor or its permitted transferees. Our Sponsor, or its permitted transferees, has the option to exercise the private placement warrants on a cashless basis. Except as described below, the private placement warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the public warrants. If the private placement warrants are held by holders other than our Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the private placement warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the public warrants. If holders of the private placement warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering his, her or its warrants for that number of shares of common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent.
