Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 3, 2021, Alta Equipment Group Inc. (the “Company”) (f/k/a B. Riley Principal Merger Corp. (“BRPM”)) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Warrant Agent”), entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Warrant Amendment”) to the warrant agreement, dated as of April 8, 2019 (the “Warrant Agreement”), by and between BRPM and the Warrant Agent.

The Warrant Amendment amends the Warrant Agreement to provide for the mandatory exchange (the “Exchange”) of the Company’s outstanding warrants (the “Warrants”) for shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrant Shares”) at an exchange ratio of 0.263 shares of common stock per Warrant. Pursuant to Section 9.8 of the Warrant Agreement, the Warrant Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the registered holders of 50% of the number of the then outstanding Public Warrants and, solely with respect to any amendment to the terms of the Private Placement Warrants, 50% of the number of the then outstanding Private Placement Warrants. On March 2, 2021, the Company received written consents from the holders of the requisite amounts of the outstanding Warrants to approve the Warrant Amendment. The Exchange will not become effective until the twentieth calendar day following the mailing of the Information Statement (as defined below) to the holders of the Warrants.

The foregoing description of the Warrant Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Warrant Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this current report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
