Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

On October 20, 2020, the Reporting Persons and other Company shareholders (the “Other Shareholders” and, together with the Reporting Persons, the “Shareholder Parties”), Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. (“Oaktree”), Centerbridge Partners, L.P., (“Centerbridge” and, together with Oaktree and the Shareholder Parties, the “Equity Commitment Parties”) and Honeywell International Inc. (“Honeywell”) entered into the Amended and Restated Coordination Agreement (including the term sheet attached thereto, the “A&R Coordination Agreement”) in anticipation of submitting an alternative proposal for a plan of reorganization (the “Proposed Plan”) to the Company. The A&R Coordination Agreement amended and restated a similar agreement entered into by Oaktree, Centerbridge and Honeywell announced on October 16, 2020.

Under the A&R Coordination Agreement, among other things, the Equity Commitment Parties agreed to backstop the issuance of, or otherwise commit to purchase, $1,050.0 million of new shares of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock (the “Convertible Series A Preferred Stock”) of the reorganized Company. The restructuring transactions contemplated by the A&R Coordination Agreement provide for the treatment of claims against the Company and its subsidiaries, and a rights offering in which all holders of Shares will receive subscription rights to purchase additional shares of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock at a purchase price of up to $100.0 million in the aggregate in cash pursuant to the terms and conditions therein. Under the A&R Coordination Agreement, among other things, the Shareholder Parties agreed not to dispose of any ownership, including any Beneficial Ownership (as defined in SEC Rule 13d-3) in any interests in the Debtors (as defined therein) unless the A&R Coordination Agreement is terminated with respect to the Shareholder Parties and such termination is disclosed in an amendment to their respective Schedule 13Ds. The A&R Coordination Agreement may be terminated by Shareholder Parties holding at least 60% of the commitments to purchase Convertible Series A Preferred Stock held by the Shareholder Parties following the occurrence of certain events set forth therein.

The Proposed Plan has not been approved by the Company and is subject to milestones and conditions that may not occur or be satisfied. As such, there is no assurance that the Proposed Plan will be completed on the terms set forth in the A&R Coordination Agreement, or at all. The foregoing description of the A&R Coordination Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the A&R Coordination Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

The Shareholder Parties by themselves or with the Equity Commitment Parties (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 other Equity Commitment Parties will file separate statements of beneficial ownership on Schedule 13D pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(2) under the Act 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. Based on information provided by the other Equity Commitment Parties, the Reporting Persons believe that the Equity Commitment Parties beneficially own in the aggregate 49.3% of the outstanding Shares as of the date of this Schedule 13D.

The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Company on a continuing basis and, depending upon the price of and other market conditions relating to the Shares, developments affecting the Company and the Chapter 11 case and other factors deemed relevant, subject to the terms of the A&R Coordination Agreement, the Reporting Persons may increase or decrease the size of their investment in the Company, pursue changes in the composition of the Company’s Board of Directors or propose or take one or more other actions that relate to or would result in any matter referred in items (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, alone or with others. The Reporting Persons reserve the right, subject to the terms of the A&R Coordination Agreement, to act independently and without respect to the other Equity Commitment Parties, to change their plans or proposals at any time, and to take any action as they deem appropriate, either alone or with others, in their sole discretion at any time, including with respect to any matter set forth in items (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a)

As of the date of this statement, the Reporting Persons beneficially own 2,661,970 Shares, representing 3.5% of the 75,635,938 outstanding Shares, as reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 30, 2020.
