2026 Notes Interest Payment
On April 17, 2023, the Company
elected to defer an interest payment due on such date in respect of its 7.750% senior secured notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”)
and enter a 30-day grace period. The Company’s election to not make such interest payment was not driven by liquidity constraints
as the Company had approximately $47 million in unrestricted cash as of March 31, 2023.
If the Company does not
make this interest payment within the 30-day grace period, it will constitute an event of default under the indenture, dated April
22, 2021 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture, dated April 22, 2021 (the
“First Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “2026 Notes Indenture”), among,
the Company, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee and note collateral
agent. If an event of default occurs, the trustee or the holders of not less than 30% in aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding 2026 Notes may declare 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the 2026 Notes to be due and
payable immediately. If the Company fails to pay interest on the 2026 Notes by the end of the grace period or if the 2026 Notes are
accelerated, it will also constitute an event of default under the indenture governing the Company’s 4.50% unsecured
convertible notes (the “Convertible Notes”), and the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding Convertible Notes may declare 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all the
Convertible Notes to be due and payable immediately. If the Company fails to pay the interest on the 2026 Notes by the end of the
grace period or if the 2026 Notes are accelerated, it will also constitute an event of default under the Company’s 2L Credit
Agreement (as defined below), and the administrative agent, itself or at the request of requisite lenders, may declare the second
lien term loans and interest thereon due and payable and exercise all rights and remedies under the 2L Credit Agreement and related
agreements. If the Company fails to pay the interest on the 2026 Notes by the end of the grace period or if the trustee or holders
of the 2026 Notes are entitled to accelerate the 2026 Notes, it will also constitute an event of default under the Company’s
asset-backed revolving credit agreement, and the administrative agent, itself or at the request of requisite lenders, may declare
the revolving loans and interest thereon due and payable, terminate commitments and exercise all rights and remedies under the
asset-based revolving credit agreement and related agreements.
2L Credit Facility Interest Payment
The Company has also determined
that it will not make the interest payment due on April 24, 2023 in respect of its second lien credit and guaranty agreement (the “2L
Credit Agreement”) among the Company, the other credit parties party thereto, the lenders party thereto and Alter Domus (US) LLC,
as administrative agent and collateral agent, pursuant to which lenders party thereto made available to the Company a second lien term
loan credit facility (the “2L Credit Facility”). The Company’s election to not make such interest payment is not driven
by liquidity constraints as the Company had approximately $47 million in unrestricted cash as of March 31, 2023.
If the Company does not make
this interest payment within the five-business day grace period, it will constitute an event of default under the 2L Credit Agreement.
If an event of default occurs, the administrative agent, itself or at the request of requisite lenders, may declare the second lien term
loans and interest thereon due and payable and exercise all rights and remedies under the 2L Credit Agreement and related agreements.
If the Company fails to pay the interest on the 2L Credit Agreement by the end of the grace period, it will also constitute an event of
default under the base indenture governing the 2026 Notes, and the trustee or the holders of not less than 30% in aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding 2026 Notes may declare 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the 2026 Notes to be due
and payable immediately. If the Company fails to pay the interest on the 2L Credit Agreement by the end of the grace period, it will also
constitute an event of default under the indenture governing the Convertible Notes. If an event of default occurs, the trustee or the
holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Convertible Notes may declare 100% of the principal of, and accrued
and unpaid interest on, all the Convertible Notes to be due and payable immediately. If the Company fails to pay the interest on the 2L
Credit Agreement by the end of the grace period, it will also constitute an event of default under the Company’s asset-backed revolving
credit agreement and the administrative agent, itself or at the request of requisite lenders, may declare the revolving loans and interest
thereon due and payable, terminate commitments and exercise all rights and remedies under the asset-based revolving credit agreement and
related agreements.
Impact of Delisting on Convertible Notes
Upon delisting of the Common
Stock from the NYSE, a fundamental change will have occurred under the Convertible Notes. As such, upon delisting, the holders of the
Convertible Notes will have the option to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of such holder’s notes at 100% of the principal
amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the indenture governing the Convertible Notes.
