In the past five years, none of NSM or, to the knowledge of any Reporting Person, any person listed on Schedule A, has (i) been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) been a party to any civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which it was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 is hereby amended to include the following:

On December 13, 2021, NSM entered into two amended and restated loan agreements with the Issuer for an aggregate principal amount of $262.6 million.

NSM Loan I: On December 13, 2021, NSM and the Issuer entered into an amended and restated loan agreement (the “NSM Loan I”) amending and restating a loan agreement, dated August 29, 2019, between NSM and the Issuer. The effective date of the NSM Loan I was January 3, 2022. Under the terms of the NSM Loan I, NSM made available to the Issuer a secured term loan of up to $127.6 million comprising two tranches: (i) a first tranche of $48.6 million is a loan previously provided by NSM to the Issuer, and (ii) a second tranche of up to $79.1 million representing new loans available to be drawn by the Issuer. The NSM Loan I is repayable in quarterly installments of $5.0 million with the first installment due in the third quarter of 2023.

NSM Loan II: On December 13, 2021, NSM and the Issuer entered into an amended and restated loan agreement (the “NSM Loan II,” together with NSM Loan I, the “NSM Loans”) amending and restating a loan agreement, dated June 29, 2021, between NSM and the Issuer. The effective date of the NSM Loan II was January 3, 2022. Under the terms of the NSM Loan II,

NSM made available to the Company a secured term loan of up to $135.0 million comprising two tranches (i) a first tranche of $64.1 million is a loan previously provided by NSM to the Issuer, and (ii) a second tranche of up to $70.9 million representing new loans available to be drawn by the Issuer. The NSM Loan II is repayable in quarterly installments of $5.0 million with the first installment due in the third quarter of 2023.

Each of the NSM Loans matures on January 3, 2026 and bears interest at a rate of (i) 18% per annum until the Issuer’s outstanding 11.25% Senior Secured Notes (the “Senior Secured Notes”) due on August 15, 2022 are repaid in full and 16.5% per annum thereafter if interest is paid in kind (“PIK Interest”), and (ii) 13.5% per annum if interest is paid in cash. Interest on the NSM Loans is required to be paid in the form of PIK Interest for the first 18 months after the effective date of the NSM Loans, and thereafter in either cash or PIK Interest at the election of the Issuer. PIK Interest is paid by increasing the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Debenture.

Under the terms of the NSM Loans, the Issuer may prepay such loans, provided that it pays prepayments premiums ranging from 5%-10% during the first 36 months payable. Such prepayment premiums are to be paid by the Issuer by increasing the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Debenture.

The holder of the Convertible Debenture may at its election, at any time, convert all or a portion of the then outstanding principal amount (which, as noted above, will increase to reflect PIK Interest and prepayment premiums paid by the Issuer) and accrued interest under the Convertible Debenture into shares of Common Stock at a price per share of US$3.93 (subject to adjustment as provided for in the Convertible Debenture). The Convertible Debenture (with an initial principal amount of $24 million) was convertible into 6,106,871 shares of Common Stock as of January 3, 2022.

The Convertible Debenture matures on January 3, 2027 and accrues PIK interest at an annual rate of 4%. In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Debenture, the Issuer issued to NSM 1,000 shares of a newly created Series I Non-Economic Preferred Stock of the Issuer (the “Series I Shares”). The Series I Shares entitle the holder of the Convertible Debenture to cast a number of votes, voting together with the holders of shares of Common Stock, equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Convertible Debenture is then convertible.

The description of the terms of the Convertible Debenture, Series I Shares and the NSM Loans above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Convertible Debenture, dated January 3, 2022, between the Issuer and NSM, the Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights of Series I Non-Economic Preferred Stock of the Issuer, dated January 3, 2022, the Secured Loan Agreement, dated as of August 29, 2019, as amended and restated on December 13, 2021, between the Issuer and NSM, and the Secured Loan Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2021, as amended and restated on December 13, 2021, between the Issuer and NSM, which are included as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, 99.3 and 99.4 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
