Unless specifically amended hereby, the disclosures set forth in the Schedule 13D remain unchanged. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Schedule 13D filed on October 5, 2020.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to include the following:

Centerbridge Partners, L.P., Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. (“Oaktree” and, together with Centerbridge Partners, L.P., the “Plan Sponsors”), Attestor Value Master Fund LP, The Baupost Group, L.L.C., Cyrus Capital Partners, L.P., FIN Capital Partners LP, Hawk Ridge Capital Management LP, IngleSea Capital, Keyframe Capital Partners, L.P., Newtyn Management, LLC, Sessa Capital (Master), L.P. and Whitebox Multi-Strategy Partners, L.P.

Schoenfeld Asset Management LP, Robeco Institutional Asset Management B.V., (collectively, the “Initial Consenting Noteholders”) and Honeywell International Inc. (“Honeywell”) have entered into a Third Amended and Restated Coordination Agreement (including the term sheet attached thereto, the “Third Amended Coordination Agreement”) in anticipation of submitting an alternative proposal for a plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) to the Debtors (as defined in the Third Amended Coordination Agreement).

The Third Amended and Restated Coordination Agreement incorporates the following changes, among others:    

 

   

the dividend rate on the Series A Preferred Stock shall be reduced from 12% to 11%;

 

   

The Company will have the ability to pay the dividend in cash or in kind at the election of a majority of disinterested members of the Company’s board of directors provided that dividends shall automatically pay in kind during any period in which the reorganized Debtors’ adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis for the twelve months immediately preceding the declaration of the dividend falls below $425 million;

 

   

any dividends paid in kind will not be convertible into common stock and will instead be paid in cash in connection with any conversion or redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock;

 

   

the Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert into common stock on the first date on or after the date that is two years from the effective date on which:

 

   

$100 million or less of amortization payments remain outstanding on the Series B Preferred Stock;

 

   

the common stock has a 75-day volume weighted average price per share that is greater than or equal to 150% of the conversion price; and

 

   

the reorganized Debtors’ adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis for the prior twelve months equals or exceeds $600 million for two consecutive quarters.

 

   

the Series A Preferred Stock shall be redeemable following the sixth anniversary of the effective date at par plus accrued and unpaid dividends; and

 

   

the milestone for filing the Plan shall be extended from January 19, 2021 to April 19, 2021 and the milestone for consummating the Plan shall be extended from March 20, 2021 to June 30, 2021, and shall be automatically extended further by ninety (90) days unless a notice of termination is provided pursuant to Section 11.12 of the Third Amended Coordination Agreement. These extensions will renew indefinitely unless the aforementioned notice of termination is provided.


The Third Amended Coordination Agreement may be terminated upon the occurrence of certain events set forth in the Third Amended Coordination Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Third Amended Coordination Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Third Amended Coordination Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit V attached hereto.

Further, on December 21, 2020, counsel to Plan Sponsors, Additional Investors and Honeywell sent a letter to the Debtors’ counsel which outlined the changes contemplated by the Third Amended Coordination Agreement. The letter is filed as Exhibit VI attached hereto.

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to include the following:

Mark T. Gallogly retired from Centerbridge Partners, L.P. effective December 7, 2020. As the director of CSCP III Cayman GP and the managing member of Credit GP Investors, Jeffrey H.
