| Item 5. | Past Contracts, Transactions, Negotiations and Agreements. |
Item 5(e) of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following language:
“On March 28, 2016, the “Company and its subsidiary (together with the Company, the “Debtors”) entered into an agreement (the “Restructuring Support Agreement”) with certain holders (the “Consenting Noteholders”) of the Company’s Second Lien Notes.
The Restructuring Support Agreement sets forth, subject to certain conditions, the commitment to and obligations of, on the one hand, the Debtors, and on the other hand, the Consenting Noteholders, in connection with a restructuring of the Second Lien Notes, the Company’s 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026, 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029, 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2032, 5.00% Convertible Exchange Senior Notes due 2032, 8.875% Senior Notes due 2019, the Existing Preferred Stock and the Company’s common stock, par value $0.20 per share (the “Restructuring Transaction”) pursuant to a Joint Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) to be filed under Chapter 11 (“Chapter 11”) of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The Plan will be based on the restructuring term sheet attached to and incorporated by reference in the Restructuring Support Agreement (the “Term Sheet”). The parties have agreed to use reasonable best efforts to proceed with further actions under Chapter 11 no later than April 15, 2016.
Pursuant to the terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Consenting Noteholders agreed, among other things, and subject to certain conditions: (a) to vote substantially all notes beneficially owned by such Consenting Noteholders in favor of the Plan; (b) to not withdraw or revoke such votes; (c) following the commencement of the Chapter 11 case, to not (1) object, on any grounds, to confirmation of the Plan, except to the extent that the terms of such Plan are inconsistent with the terms contained in the Term Sheet, or (2) directly or indirectly seek, solicit, support, or encourage (x) any objection to the Plan or (y) any other plan of reorganization or liquidation with respect to the Company; (d) subject to appropriate confidentiality measures or agreements, to cooperate to the extent reasonable and practicable with the Company’s efforts to obtain required regulatory approvals of the Plan; and (e) to not take any other action, including, without limitation, initiating any legal proceeding, that is inconsistent with, or that would materially delay consummation of, the transactions embodied in the Plan.
1
The Company has agreed, among other things, and subject to certain conditions: (a) to commence a Chapter 11 case on or before April 15, 2016; (b) to not file any motion, pleading or other document with the Bankruptcy Court that, in whole or in part, is inconsistent in any material respect with the Restructuring Support Agreement or the Plan; (c) to not incur or suffer to exist any material indebtedness, except indebtedness existing and outstanding immediately prior to the date of the Restructuring Support Agreement, trade payables, and liabilities arising and incurred in the ordinary course of business; and (d) to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain prompt confirmation of the Plan by order of the Bankruptcy Court and, following such confirmation, promptly consummate the transactions embodied in the Plan, in each case within the timeframes specified in the Restructuring Support Agreement and to do all things reasonably necessary and appropriate in furtherance of the transactions embodied in the Plan.
The Term Sheet contemplates that the Debtors will reorganize as a going concern and continue their day-to-day operations substantially as currently conducted. Specifically, the material terms of the Plan are expected to effect, among other things, subject to certain conditions and as more particularly set forth in the Term Sheet, upon the effective date of the Plan, a substantial reduction in the Debtors’ funded debt obligations (including $175 million of face amount of the Second Lien Notes). Certain principal terms of the Term Sheet are outlined below.
| • | Each holder of an allowed priority claim (other than a priority tax claim or administrative claim) shall receive either: (a) cash equal to the full allowed amount of its claim or (b) such other treatment as may otherwise be agreed to by such holder, the Debtors, and the Consenting Noteholders; |
| • | Each holder of a secured claim (other than a priority tax claim, senior credit facility claim, or Second Lien Notes claim) shall receive, at the Debtors’ election and with the consent of the Consenting Noteholders, either: (a) cash equal to the full allowed amount of its claim, (b) reinstatement of such holder’s claim, (c) the return or abandonment of the collateral securing such claim to such holder, or (d) such other treatment as may otherwise be agreed to by such holder, the Debtors, and the Consenting Noteholders; and |
| • | Holders of the Second Lien Notes shall receive their pro rata share of 100% of the new membership interests in the reorganized Company (the “New Equity Interests”), subject to dilution from shares issued in connection with a proposed long-term management incentive plan for the reorganized Company, which shall initially provide for grants of New Equity Interests in an aggregate amount equal to 9% of the total New Equity Interests. |
The Restructuring Support Agreement may be terminated upon the occurrence of certain events, including the failure to meet specified milestones related to filing, confirmation and consummation of the Plan, among other requirements, and in the event of certain breaches by the parties under the Restructuring Support Agreement. There can be no assurance that a Restructuring Transaction will be consummated.”
| Item 6. | Purposes of the Transaction and Plans or Proposals. |
Item 6(c)(3) of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following language:
