CUSIP No. 74909E106

The following constitutes Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 1”). This Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

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

Item 3 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

The Shares purchased by Drawdown II LP were purchased with working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business) in open market purchases, except as otherwise noted. The aggregate purchase price of the 1,237,424 Shares beneficially owned by Drawdown II LP is approximately $637,456, including brokerage commissions.

The Shares purchased by Global LP were purchased with working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business) in open market purchases, except as otherwise noted. The aggregate purchase price of the 2,115,197 Shares beneficially owned by Global LP is approximately $987,711, including brokerage commissions.

The Shares purchased by MCM on behalf of certain managed accounts were purchased with working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business) in open market purchases, except as otherwise noted. The aggregate purchase price of the 1,418,971 Shares beneficially owned by MCM on behalf of certain managed accounts is approximately $647,330, including brokerage commissions.

Item 4.Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

On April 8, 2020, the Reporting Persons’ legal counsel delivered a letter (the “Letter”) to the Office of the United States Trustee for the District of Delaware (the “Trustee”) on behalf of the Reporting Persons, requesting that the Trustee appoint an official committee of equity security holders (the “Official Equity Committee”) to assure adequate representation of the interests of all of the Issuer’s shareholders. The Letter stated the Reporting Persons’ belief that significant equity value exists for existing shareholders but that, without the appointment of an Official Equity Committee, there is no estate fiduciary to represent shareholder interests as the board of directors and management team now in control of the Issuer have abandoned those interests in favor of the Issuer’s noteholders.

The Letter further stated the Reporting Persons’ belief that the Issuer’s entry into a restructuring support agreement (the “RSA”) with certain lenders representing approximately 75% of the obligations under the Issuer’s senior notes, and the RSA’s terms of a plan for balance sheet restructuring of the Issuer (the “Plan”), would frustrate the evaluation of the Issuer’s legitimate shareholder interests. The Reporting Persons expressed further concern in the Letter that, although all general unsecured creditors of the Issuer are paid in full in cash, the Plan provides zero recovery to shareholders that do not also own senior notes and, as a result, the Plan provides that all existing equity will be wiped out and all reorganized equity provided to the Issuer’s senior noteholders.

The foregoing description of the Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Letter, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.

On April 9, 2020, Mudrick Capital Management, L.P. (“Mudrick”) submitted a preliminary objection to certain first day motions (the “Preliminary Objection”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Court”). In the Preliminary Objection, Mudrick stated its concern that the Plan provides zero recovery to shareholders of the Issuer that do not also own senior notes, and requested that the Court reject as unnecessary the expedited confirmation schedule of the Plan to provide sufficient time for the Trustee to consider the appointment of an Official Equity Committee, and for equity holders to adequately evaluate the Plan, the underlying valuation it is based upon and their treatment thereunder.

The foregoing description of the Preliminary Objection does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Preliminary Objection, which is filed as Exhibit 99.2, and is incorporated herein by reference.
