Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

The information contained in Item 3 above is hereby incorporated by reference.

On October 29, 2018, TCP Denim, LLC, Tengram Fund II, Tengram Capital Partners Gen2 Fund, L.P., Tengram Capital Associates, LLC and RG II Blocker, LLC (collectively, with TCP Denim, LLC, Tengram Fund II, Tengram Capital Partners Gen2 Fund, L.P. and Tengram Capital Associates, LLC, the “Tengram Stockholders”) entered into that certain Stockholder Agreement (the “Stockholder Agreement”) by and among the Tengram Stockholders, the Issuer, GSO Capital Opportunities Fund III LP, GSO CSF III Holdco LP, GSO Aiguille des Grand Montets Fund II LP, GSO Credit Alpha II Trading (Cayman) LP, GSO Harrington Credit Alpha Fund (Cayman) L.P., BTO Legend Holdings L.P. and Blackstone Family Tactical Opportunities Investment Partnership III (Cayman) – NQ – ESC L.P. (collectively, with GSO Capital Opportunities Fund III LP, GSO CSF III Holdco LP, GSO Aiguille des Grand Montets Fund II LP, GSO Credit Alpha II Trading (Cayman) LP, GSO Harrington Credit Alpha Fund (Cayman) L.P. and BTO Legend Holdings L.P., the “GSO Stockholders”).

Pursuant to the Stockholder Agreement, certain of the Reporting Persons have agreed with the GSO Stockholders to certain matters related to the Issuer’s securities and the Issuer’s board of directors (the “Board”). That agreement is described in Item 6 of this Statement on Schedule 13D and attached as Exhibit 99.1. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons, the GSO/BTO Stockholders and certain other affiliates of GSO Capital Partners, LP (“GSO”) and Blackstone Tactical Opportunities Advisors L.L.C. (“BTO”, and, collectively with GSO, such affiliates and with the GSO Stockholders, the “GSO Group”) may be deemed to be a group (the “Group”) for the purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”). The GSO Group may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 26,219,501 shares of Common Stock as of October 29, 2018. In the aggregate, assuming the issuance of the 500,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Warrant, the Group may be deemed to beneficially own 39,063,711 shares of Common Stock of the Company, which is 66.8% of the Common Stock outstanding (based upon the As Adjusted Outstanding Amount of 57,977,300 shares of Common Stock, as adjusted further for the 500,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant). The GSO Group has undertaken to file a separate Schedule 13D pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(2) under the Act containing the required information. The Reporting Person assumes no responsibility for the information contained in such Schedule 13D filed by the GSO Group. The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of any securities of the Issuer acquired by the GSO Group.

Also pursuant to the Stockholder Agreement, the Issuer agreed not to increase or decrease the number of directors on the Board and not to enter into a consolidation, merger or other strategic transaction if the consideration payable by the Issuer and its subsidiaries exceeds $50.0 million, in each case without the prior written consent of the Tengram Stockholders and the GSO Stockholders (together, with the Tengram Stockholders, the “Stockholders”). Neither Mr. Eby nor Mr. Sweedler will amend Item 4 of this Schedule 13D to disclose plans or proposal of the Issuer or known to him in his capacity as a director of the Issuer.

Information concerning the appointment of Messrs. Eby and Sweedler and other members to the Issuer’s Board, set forth under Item 5.02 of the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 29, 2016, is incorporated herein by reference. Additionally, the description of the Stockholder Agreement in Item 6 below is incorporated into this Item 4 by reference.

Each Reporting Person intends to review its or his investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and investment strategy, changes in market prices of the Issuer’s Common Stock and conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, each Reporting Person may in the future take such actions with respect to its or his investment in the Issuer as the Reporting Person deems appropriate including, without limitation, continuing to engage in communications with management and the Board, engaging in discussions with stockholders of the Issuer and others about the Issuer and its or his investment, making proposals to the Issuer concerning changes to the capitalization, ownership structure, board structure (including board composition), corporate governance or operations of the Issuer, or changing its or his intentions with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Tengram Fund II, as the holder of the SWIMS Warrant, and TCA II, William Sweedler and Matthew Eby, as indirect beneficial owners of the SWIMS Warrant, may agree with the Issuer from time to time to amend the terms of those securities.

Tengram Fund I, TCA, William Sweedler and Matthew Eby may from time to time dispose of all or a portion of the securities they received as a result of the pro rata in-kind distributions on January 23, 2017 and/or May 8, 2017, as applicable, whether in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, depending on various factors including those set forth above. Generally, each of the Reporting Persons may further acquire, hold, vote, trade, dispose or otherwise deal in Common Stock of the Issuer at times, and in such manner, as it or he deems advisable depending on various factors including those set forth above.

Other than as set forth above or as would occur with the completion of, or following, any of the actions discussed herein, each Reporting Person has no present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Each Reporting Person reserves the right to formulate other plans and/or make other proposals, and take such actions with respect to its or his investment in the Issuer, including any or all of the actions set forth in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Each Reporting Person may at any time reconsider and change its or his plans or proposals relating to the foregoing.

The information set forth in Item 3 to this Amendment No. 4 is incorporated by reference into this Item 6.

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following information:

Registration Rights Agreement Amendment

On October 29, 2018, the Issuer entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to its registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with TCP Denim, TCP RG, LLC, TCP RG II, LLC and the investors named therein. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, as amended, and subject to the limitations described therein, the Issuer will provide certain demand and piggy back registration rights with respect to shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons as described therein.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which was described in and included as an exhibit to the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed November 2, 2018 which is incorporated herein by reference.

Stockholder Agreement

On October 29, 2018, the Issuer entered into the Stockholder Agreement with the Stockholders. The Stockholder Agreement contains a number of agreements and restrictions with respect to securities of the Issuer held by the Stockholders.

The Stockholders agreed that, prior to the “Restriction Expiration Time,” which is defined as the earliest to occur of October 29, 2020, the date of a change of control of the Issuer and otherwise by agreement between the Issuer and the Stockholders, subject to certain limited exceptions described therein, the Stockholders may not transfer their shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock (the “Restriction Shares”) or enter into voting arrangement or grant a proxy on their Restriction Shares other than in accordance with the Stockholder Agreement.

The Tengram Stockholders also granted each of Ares Capital Corporation and HPS Investment Partners, LLC a lockup on the Tengram Stockholders’ holdings of Common Stock prior to the Restriction Expiration Time, subject to certain limited exceptions described therein.

Also, the Stockholders agreed they will not undertake the following actions related to the Company or its Common Stock, as applicable: (i) engage in proxy solicitations; (ii) form a “group” for the purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act (other than the Group); (iii) enter into a voting trust or other agreements related to voting the Common Stock (other than the Stockholder Agreement); (iv) conduct a contested solicitation of the Board; (v) solicit potential mergers, acquisitions or other strategic transactions with respect to the Issuer; or (vi) submit stockholder proposals to the Issuer.

The Stockholders agreed to grant the other Stockholders a binding right of first offer on the sale of their holdings of Common Stock until October 29, 2020 (subject to certain limited exceptions). Also, the Stockholders agreed to give the Issuer prior written notice of the transfer of Restricted Securities prior to certain transfers of such Restricted Securities.

The Issuer also agreed to give the Stockholders and their affiliates pre-emptive rights on equity issuances of the Issuer. Also pursuant to the Stockholder Agreement, the Issuer agreed not to increase or decrease the number of directors on the Board and not to enter into a consolidation, merger or other strategic transaction if the consideration payable by the Issuer and its subsidiaries exceeds $50.0 million, in each case without the prior written consent of the Stockholders.

Pursuant to the Stockholder Agreement, the Board shall have 8 members. For so long as the Tengram Stockholders beneficially own (i) at least 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer on a fully diluted basis held by the Tengram Stockholders as of October 29, 2018, the Tengram Stockholders may nominate two directors to the Board; and (ii) at least 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer on a fully diluted basis held by the Tengram Stockholders as of October 29, 2018, the Tengram Stockholders may nominate one director to the Board. The Tengram Stockholders appointed directors are Mr. Eby and Mr. Sweedler (collectively, with their respective successors and replacements, the “Tengram Directors”). Similarly, for so long as the GSO Stockholders beneficially own (i) at least 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer on a fully diluted basis held by the GSO Stockholders as of October 29, 2018, GSO (on behalf of the GSO Stockholders) may nominate two directors to the Board; and (ii) at least 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer on a fully diluted basis held by the GSO Stockholders as of October 29, 2018, GSO (on behalf of the GSO Stockholders) may nominate one director to the Board. The GSO appointed directors are Randall Kessler and Robert Petrini (collectively, with their respective successors and replacements, the “GSO Directors”). The Stockholders also agreed to cause the removal of the GSO Directors upon the request of the GSO Stockholders and the Tengram Directors upon the request of the Tengram Stockholders. Upon the written request of the Tengram Stockholders to GSO or GSO to the Tengram Stockholders, respectively, to remove an independent director of the Issuer, the Stockholders shall take best efforts to cause such independent director to be removed as a director of the Issuer.

Additionally, the nominating and corporate governance committee of the Board (the “Nominating Committee”) shall consist of one member appointed by the Tengram Stockholders, one member appointed by GSO (on behalf of the GSO Stockholders), and one independent director. For so long as the Tengram Stockholders beneficially own at least 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer on a fully diluted basis held by the Tengram Stockholders as of October 29, 2018, the Tengram Stockholders may nominate one member of the Nominating Committee. For so long as the GSO Stockholders beneficially own at least 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer on a fully diluted basis held by the GSO Stockholders as of October 29, 2018, GSO (on behalf of the GSO Stockholders) may nominate one member of the Nominating Committee.

The Stockholders agreed that they will not support the election of any independent director unless that individual is mutually acceptable to the Tengram Stockholders and the GSO Stockholders and to support the election of the chief executive officer of the Company to the Board. The Stockholders also agreed to vote, or cause to be voted, or grant a proxy to the Issuer all of the shares of Common Stock (or other voting equity of the Issuer) beneficially owned by such Stockholder (i) for the election of a director or directors or pursuant to any written consent for the election or removal of directors as agreed upon in the Stockholder Agreement; and (ii) to ensure that the governing documents of the Issuer facilitate the Stockholder Agreement and permit each Stockholder to receive the benefits it is entitled to under the Stockholder Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Stockholder Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Stockholder Agreement, which was described in and included as an exhibit to the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed November 2, 2018 which is incorporated herein by reference.
