Pursuant to the TSA, the Company agreed to a delayed draw new money financing in which the Company (i) may cause to be issued to the Purchasers (including the Marathon Funds) an aggregate principal amount of $25,000,000 in the form of a new stapled security, comprised of (A) second lien PIK convertible notes (the “Notes”) and (B) shares of Series B Preferred Stock (as defined below), (ii) facilitated the exchange of $100,000,000 of the aggregate principal amount of the term loans under the 2022 Credit Agreement held by certain of the Preferred Equityholders (including the Marathon Funds) for Notes and Series B Preferred Stock as described below and (iii) agreed to certain other changes to the terms of the 2022 Credit Agreement, including modifications of the financial covenants thereunder.

On June 15, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), the Company completed the Transaction, which was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders held on June 13, 2023. On the Closing Date, certain previously executed agreements became effective, including (i) Amendment No. 2 to the 2022 Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”), by, among others, Opco, Holdings, Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent and issuing bank (the “Administrative Agent”), and the lenders party thereto (including certain of the Reporting Persons), which amends the 2022 Credit Agreement, (ii) a Second Lien Note Purchase Agreement (the “Original Note Purchase Agreement”), by, among others, the Company, Wilco Holdco, Inc.
