Item 3.	Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

In connection with the Issuer’s emergence from chapter 11 protection and in reliance on the exemption from registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), provided by Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, Old Pyxus (as defined below) distributed a total of 25,000,000 Shares held by Old Pyxus (i) to holders of Allowed Second Lien Notes Claims (as defined in the Plan) and (ii) in satisfaction of the Second Lien Notes RSA Fee Shares (as defined in the Plan), in satisfaction of the Backstop Fee Shares (as defined in the Plan), and on account of the Exit Facility Shares (as defined in the Plan).

As described in Item 4 below, on August 24, 2020, the Reporting Entities acquired beneficial ownership of the Shares held by the Reporting Entities pursuant to the Plan (as defined below), which became effective on August 24, 2020 (the “Effective Date”). On the Effective Date, by operation of the Plan, the Second Lien Notes (as defined in the Plan) held by each of the Reporting Entities were cancelled and the Reporting Entities received their portion of the Shares issued to holders of Allowed Second Lien Notes Claims. Additionally, on the Effective Date, the Reporting Entities loaned amounts to the Issuer under the Exit Term Facility (as defined in the Plan) and received a proportional amount of the Exit Facility Shares (as defined in the Plan) pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Finally, the Reporting Entities received their respective proportional amounts of the Second Lien Notes RSA Fee Shares and the Backstop Fee Shares. No borrowed funds were used to purchase the Shares. Capitalized terms not defined in this Schedule 13D have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan.

Item 4.	Purpose of Transaction

The information set forth in Items 3 and 6 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated into this Item 4 by reference.

As described in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer on August 24, 2020, Old Holdco, Inc. (formerly known as Pyxus International, Inc.) (“Old Pyxus”) and its former subsidiaries Alliance One International, LLC, Alliance One North America, LLC, Alliance One Specialty Products, LLC and GSP Properties, LLC (collectively with Old Pyxus, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) to implement a prepackaged chapter 11 plan of reorganization in order to effectuate a financial restructuring of the Debtors’ debt.

On August 21, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, which approved and confirmed the Amended Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Pyxus International, Inc. and Its Affiliated Debtors (as supplemented and amended, the “Plan”). The foregoing description of the Confirmation Order and Plan do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Confirmation Order and Plan, filed as Exhibit 2.1 and Exhibit 2.2, respectively, to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer on August 24, 2020.

On the Effective Date, the Plan became effective in accordance with its terms and the Debtors emerged from the Chapter 11 Cases. In connection with the satisfaction of the conditions to effectiveness set forth in the Confirmation Order and the Plan, Old Pyxus completed a series of transactions pursuant to which the business assets and operations of Old Pyxus were vested in a new Virginia corporation, Pyxus Holdings, Inc. (“Pyxus Holdings”), which is an indirect subsidiary of the Issuer, a newly formed Virginia corporation which has been named Pyxus International, Inc.

On the Effective Date, the Reporting Entities collectively received 31.8% of the Shares issued as of the Effective Date under the Plan and the right to appoint two members to the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) as further described in the Plan and the Shareholders Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 4.2 on the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer on August 24, 2020.

The Reporting Entities have initially appointed Holly Kim, a partner in GCM, to the Board pursuant to such board appointment right and have not appointed the second director at this time, but intend to do so following the completion of an evaluation process. In addition, pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement and as further described therein, the Reporting Entities are entitled to and intend to participate in the nomination of two independent directors to the Board.

Except as set forth herein, the Reporting Entities have no other present plans or proposals that would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Entities intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors, including the Issuer’s financial position and strategic direction, actions taken by the Board of the Issuer, price levels of the Shares, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Entities, conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Entities may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, purchasing additional Shares, other securities or derivative instruments related thereto or selling some or all of their Shares, other securities or derivative instruments, engaging in hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Shares, and, alone or with others, pursuing discussions with the management, the Board of the Issuer, other holders of Shares of the Issuer and third parties with regard to their investment in the Issuer, and/or otherwise changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 6.	Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

The information set forth in Items 3, 4 and 5 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated into this Item 6 by reference.

On the Effective Date, the Issuer entered into a Shareholders Agreement (the “Shareholders Agreement”), among the Issuer and the investors listed therein, each other beneficial owner of the Shares as of the date of the Shareholders Agreement deemed to be a party thereto pursuant to the Plan and other persons that may from time to time become parties thereto (collectively, the “Investors”). The Shareholders Agreement provides that each of Glendon Capital Management LP (together with its affiliates, the “Glendon Investor”) and Monarch Alternative Captial LP (together with its affiliates, the “Monarch Investor”) shall be entitled to nominate two individuals to serve on the seven-member board of directors of the Issuer so long as it beneficially owns at least 20% of the outstanding Shares, or one individual to serve as such a director if it beneficially owns fewer than 20% of the outstanding Shares but at least 10% of the outstanding Shares.
The Shareholders Agreement provides that the Investors shall take all necessary action to elect such nominees of each of the Glendon Investor and the Monarch Investor as directors, as well as the election of the chief executive officer of the Issuer as a director and other individuals qualifying as independent directors to be selected by Investors that beneficially own 5% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Issuer, as determined by a majority of the shares of the Issuer’s common stock beneficially owned by such Investors. The Shareholders Agreement provides that the chairperson of the board of directors of the Issuer is to be elected by a majority of the directors that had been nominated by the Glendon Investor (the “Glendon Directors”) and those that had been nominated by the Monarch Investor (the “Monarch Directors”), with the chairperson of such board to be elected by the board of directors of the Issuer if the Glendon Directors and Monarch Directors are together fewer than three in number or fail to appoint a chairperson. The Shareholders Agreement also includes provisions for the removal and replacement of the Glendon Directors at the request of the Glendon Investor and the removal and replacement of the Monarch Directors at the request of the Monarch Director, as well as provisions with respect to the calling and quorum of meetings of the board of directors of the Issuer, membership of committees of the board of directors of the Issuer and compensation and insurance of members of the board of directors of the Issuer.

The Shareholders Agreement also provides for tag-along rights for Investors beneficially owning 1% or more of the outstanding shares of the Issuer’s common stock (the “1% Investors”) upon the transfer by an Investor or group of Investors of 20% or more of the outstanding shares of the Issuer’s common stock, drag-along rights upon the transfer of shares by an Investor or group of Investors of 50% or more of the outstanding shares of the Issuer’s common stock, rights of first offer with respect to the transfer by an Investor, subject to certain exceptions, of 1% or more of the outstanding shares of the Issuer’s common stock, pre-emptive rights to the 1% Investors upon issuance of new securities by the Issuer, and demand and piggyback registration rights.
The Shareholders Agreement includes the agreement of the Investors not to transfer shares of common stock of the Issuer (i) in violation of federal and state securities laws, (ii) in a transfer that would cause the Issuer to be regarded as an “investment Issuer” under the Investment Issuer Act of 1940, as amended, (iii) in a transfer, at any time that the Issuer is not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, that would cause the number of holders of the Issuer’s common stock to exceed specified thresholds, or (iv) in a transfer that is, to the knowledge of the transferor after reasonable inquiry, (A) to any specified competitor of the Issuer or (B) to a person that would become either a beneficial owner of 5% of the outstanding common stock of the Issuer or a “5-percent shareholder” within the meaning of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, a “5% Holder”). The Shareholders Agreement provides that the board of directors may waive these restrictions, provided that any waiver of the restriction with respect to a person that would become a 5% Holder upon such transfer may be waived only if the transferee enters into a joinder agreeing to be bound by the Shareholders Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Shareholders Agreement do not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Shareholders Agreement, filed as Exhibit 4.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer on August 24, 2020.

In addition to the Reporting Entities’ beneficial ownership of Shares, the Reporting Entities currently hold (and may continue to hold) loans under the Issuer’s Exit Facility, as well as the Issuer’s first lien bonds. Such positions are beneficially owned by the Reporting Entities. The Reporting Entities will share, among themselves, beneficial ownership with respect to any such debt positions, and may purchase or sell such debt instruments (or other debt instruments issued from time to time by the Issuer) at any time, and may also seek to exercise their rights as debtholders under the relevant agreements or indentures, as well as applicable law.

Pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k) promulgated under the Act, the Reporting Entities have entered into an agreement with respect to the joint filing of this Schedule 13D and any amendment or amendments thereto, a copy of which is attached here as Exhibit 1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Other than as described herein, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships among the Reporting Entities, or between the Reporting Entities and any other person, with respect to the securities of the Issuer.
