Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 7 amends the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Hawk Ridge Master Fund, LP, Hawk Ridge Management, LLC, Hawk Ridge Capital Management, L.P., Hawk Ridge Capital Management GP LLC and Mr. David G. Brown (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) on October 27, 2020 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”) with respect to shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Shares”) of Garrett Motion Inc. (the “Company”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.

On March 9, 2021, the Company and its affiliated Debtors entered into a Second Amended and Restated Plan Support Agreement (including all exhibits and schedules attached thereto, the “Second Amended Plan Support Agreement”) with the Plan Sponsors, Honeywell, and the Additional Investors (each as defined therein), setting forth the terms by which the foregoing parties committed to provide capital to and/or support the Company in connection with its plan of reorganization. The Second Amended Plan Support Agreement amended and restated the Amended Plan Support Agreement, entered into by the Debtors, the Plan Sponsors, Honeywell, the Additional Investors, the Initial Consenting Noteholders (as defined in the Second Amended Plan Support Agreement), and the Initial Consenting Lenders (as defined in the Second Amended Plan Support Agreement) on February 15, 2021 and terminated the Equity Backstop Commitment Agreement, entered into by the Debtors, the Plan Sponsors, and certain of the Additional Investors on January 22, 2021 (the “Original BCA”) and certain equity commitment letters previously provided by the Additional Investors to the Debtors. The Second Amended Plan Support Agreement is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated by reference.

On the same day, the Company and the other Debtors (as defined therein) entered into a Replacement Equity Backstop Commitment Agreement (the “Replacement BCA”) with the Equity Backstop Parties (as defined therein), setting forth the terms by which the Equity Backstop Parties committed to participate in a rights offering to provide capital to the Debtors in connection with the Debtors’ plan of reorganization. The Replacement BCA replaced the Original BCA and supplements the Second Amended and Restated Plan Support Agreement. The Replacement BCA is filed as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and incorporated by reference.

The Additional Investors by themselves or with the Plan Sponsors, Honeywell and the Initial Consenting Noteholders (to the extent they own Shares) may be deemed to constitute a group for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Act. The Reporting Persons anticipate that the Plan Sponsors, Honeywell, the other Additional Investors and the Initial Consenting Noteholders will file separate statements of beneficial ownership on Schedule 13D pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(2) under the Act, and any amendments thereto, containing their required information. The Reporting Persons assume no responsibility for the information contained in any filings by any other person. The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of any securities beneficially owned or acquired by any other person except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein. As of the date of this Amendment No. 7, based on information provided by the Plan Sponsors, Honeywell, the other Additional Investors and the Consenting Noteholders, the Reporting Persons believe that the Plan Sponsors, Honeywell, the Additional Investors and the Consenting Noteholders beneficially own in the aggregate 57.4% of the 76,068,026 outstanding Shares, as set forth in Section 4.4 of the Replacement BCA.
