On August 21, 2020, the Issuer filed the Fifth Amended Debtors’ Joint Plan of Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code with the Bankruptcy Court (the “Plan”). On August 21, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Plan. On April 30, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), the conditions to effectiveness of the Plan were satisfied or waived and the Issuer emerged from Chapter 11. Pursuant to the Plan and the Confirmation Order, the Issuer issued certain shares of Common Stock to the ACOF Funds, the ASOF Funds and the ASSF Funds in exchange for debt held by the funds prior to the filing of the Issuer’s voluntary bankruptcy petition.

The ACOF Funds, the ASOF Funds and the ASSF Funds received 35,182,745 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Issuer’s Plan and Confirmation Order.

The Reporting Persons may exchange information with the Issuer or other persons or entities pursuant to confidentiality or similar agreements and may enter into expense reimbursement agreements with the Issuer and others.  The Reporting Persons intend to consider, explore and develop plans, make proposals and negotiate agreements with respect to or relating to, among other things, the foregoing matters and may take other steps seeking to bring about changes with respect to the Issuer as well as pursue other plans or proposals that relate to or could result in any of the matters set forth in clauses (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  The Reporting Persons may also take steps to explore or prepare for various plans, proposals or actions, or propose transactions, regarding any of the foregoing matters, before forming an intention to engage in any such plans, proposals or actions or proceed with any such transactions.

 

The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on an ongoing basis.  Depending on various factors, including the outcome of any discussions referenced above, the Issuer’s business, financial position, results, strategic direction or prospects or any strategic alternatives or transactions, actions taken by the Issuer’s management or the Board, price levels of one or more Securities, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, conditions in the securities, loan or bond markets, factors relating to COVID-19 and other potential pandemics, general economic or industry conditions or any changes in law or regulations, the Reporting Persons may in the future, subject to any then-applicable limits in the Agreement, take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate, including the actions and matters described in the preceding paragraph, acquiring, or causing to be acquired, additional Securities, including taking a control position in one or more of the Securities, or disposing of, or causing to be disposed, some or all of the Securities beneficially owned by them, in the public market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, modifying or seeking to modify the terms of any Securities held by them, including through refinancing such Securities, entering into derivatives transactions and other agreements or instruments that increase or decrease the Reporting Persons’ economic exposure with respect to their investment in the Issuer, forming joint ventures with the Issuer or with third parties with respect to the Issuer, its assets or Securities or its subsidiaries, providing debt or equity financing or other forms of capital to the Issuer or to potential strategic partners or acquirers of the Issuer, pledging their interest in Securities as a means of obtaining liquidity or as credit support for loans or other extensions of credit, entering into strategic or other transactions involving the Issuer, its assets or Securities or its subsidiaries or their assets and one or more of the Reporting Persons and/or their affiliates and/or portfolio companies and/or other stockholders of the Issuer, including transactions involving a take-private transaction of the Issuer or acquisition by the Issuer or its subsidiaries of all or a portion of the securities or assets of a portfolio company of the Reporting Persons and/or their affiliates, or forming, making or undertaking other purposes, plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or any of its Securities or its subsidiaries, businesses or assets. If the Reporting Persons were to acquire additional Securities, the Reporting Persons’ ability to influence the Issuer’s management, the Board or the policies of the Issuer may increase.
