DIVIDEND POLICY

Our Board has not adopted a dividend policy with respect to our Common Stock. There can be no assurances that it will adopt a policy that contemplates paying cash dividends or other distributions with respect to our Common Stock. Any future determinations relating to our dividend policies and the declaration, amount and payment of any future dividends on our Common Stock will be at the sole discretion of our Board, and, if we elect to pay such dividends in the future, we may reduce or discontinue entirely the payment of such dividends at any time. The Board may take into account general and economic conditions, our financial condition and operating results, our available cash and current and anticipated cash needs, capital requirements, contractual, legal, tax and regulatory restrictions and implications on the payment of dividends by us to our stockholders, and such other factors as the Board may deem relevant. Furthermore, restrictive covenants in certain debt instruments and preferred stock to which we are a party, limit our ability to pay dividends or engage in share repurchases or redemptions, any of which may negatively impact the trading price of our Common Stock.

Holders of our Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by a committee of disinterested directors of our Board out of funds legally available for such dividend, cumulative cash dividends at an annual rate of 11%, accumulating on a daily basis and payable quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, respectively, in each year. Such a dividend will not be declared at any time when consolidated EBITDA for the most recent four fiscal quarters for which financial statements of the Company are available is less than $425 million. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will accumulate whether or not declared. Under the terms of our Series B Preferred Stock, a dividend on the Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock may not be declared so long as the Company has not satisfied or cannot satisfy in full deferred redemption payments or the next scheduled redemption payment owed to holders of Series B Preferred Stock. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock are also entitled to participate in dividends paid and other distributions made to holders of Common Stock to the same extent as if such holders of Series A Preferred Stock had converted their shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock.

We have never declared a divided on the Series A Preferred Stock, and as of June 22, 2022, the aggregate accumulated dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock was approximately $171 million.

In addition, under Delaware law, we may declare and pay dividends on our capital stock either out of our surplus, as defined in the relevant Delaware statutes, or if there is no such surplus, out of our net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. If, however, our capital, computed in accordance with the relevant Delaware statutes, has been diminished by depreciation in the value of our property, or by losses, or otherwise, to an amount less than the aggregate amount of the capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets, we are prohibited from declaring and paying out of such net profits any dividends upon any shares of our capital stock until the deficiency has been repaired.

Furthermore, the terms of the Certificate of Designations for the Series A Preferred Stock include restrictions on our ability to make dividend payments or distributions on, or redeem or otherwise acquire, shares of the Common Stock or certain future classes of preferred stock, while there are cumulative accrued and unpaid preference dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock, in each case subject to certain exceptions and carve-outs. Additionally, the terms of the Credit Agreement include restrictions on our ability to pay dividends or make distributions on, or redeem or otherwise acquire, the Common Stock and to pay certain participating dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock, subject to certain exceptions and carve-outs. See “Description of Capital Stock—Series A Preferred Stock—Dividends” below.

SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS

This prospectus relates to the offering for resale from time to time, in one or more offerings, of up to an aggregate of 37,680,203 shares of Common Stock owned by the selling security holders, 219,552,835 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 219,552,835 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock.

The Securities were obtained by the selling security holders named below pursuant to the Plan (as defined below). We are registering the Securities pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, as described under “Description of Capital Stock.”

The selling security holders may from time to time offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus any or all of the Securities owned by them, but make no representation that any of the Securities will be offered for sale.

The table below presents information regarding the selling security holders and the Securities that the selling security holders may offer and sell from time to time under this prospectus.

The following table sets forth:

 

   

the name of each selling security holder;

 

   

the number of shares of Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable, beneficially owned by each selling security holders prior to the sale of the Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable, covered by this prospectus;

 

   

the number of shares of Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable, that may be offered by each selling security holder for sale pursuant to this prospectus;

 

   

the number of shares of Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable, beneficially owned by each selling security holders following the sale of all of such selling security holder’s Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable, covered by this prospectus; and

 

   

the percentage of Common Stock (including, on an as-converted basis, the Series A Preferred Stock) beneficially owned by each selling security holder following the sale of all of such selling security holder’s Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable, covered by this prospectus.

All information with respect to selling security holders’ beneficial ownership of the Securities has been furnished by or on behalf of the selling security holders and is as of May 26, 2021. We believe, based on information supplied by the selling security holders, that except as may otherwise be indicated in the footnotes to the table below, the selling security holders have sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the Securities reported as beneficially owned by them. Because the selling security holders identified in the table may sell some or all of the Securities owned by them which is included in this prospectus, and because there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of any of the Securities, no estimate can be given as to the number of Securities available for resale hereby that will be held by the selling security holders upon termination of this offering. In addition, the selling security holders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, the Securities it holds in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date on which the selling security holders provided the information set forth on the table below. We have, therefore, assumed for the purposes of the following table, that the selling security holders will sell all of the Securities beneficially owned by them that is covered by this prospectus, but will not sell any other Securities that they may presently own. The percent of beneficial ownership for the selling security holders is based on 64,804,051 shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of June 22, 2022.

All information with respect to beneficial ownership by the selling security holders has been furnished by the respective selling security holders. We have not sought to independently verify such information.

Table of Contents

The amounts and percentages of Securities beneficially owned are reported on the basis of regulations of the SEC governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under the rules of the SEC, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares “voting power,” which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of such security, or “investment power,” which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed a beneficial owner of the same securities and a person may be deemed a beneficial owner of securities as to which he has no economic interest. Except as otherwise indicated in the footnotes below, each of the beneficial owners has, to our knowledge, sole voting and investment power with respect to the indicated Securities and has not pledged any such Securities as security. Our Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock, at the option of each holder, on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Relationship with Our Principal Stockholders Following the Offering

Except as disclosed below, none of the selling security holders has had any material relationships with the Company within the past three years.

On September 20, 2020, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (together with the Company, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions seeking relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”), to pursue a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization, which were jointly administered under the caption “In re Garrett Motion Inc., 20-12212” (the “Chapter 11 cases”). On April 26, 2021, the Debtors filed the proposed Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (as amended, modified, or supplemented from time to time, the “Plan”), which was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on April 26, 2021, and on April 30, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), the Plan became effective in accordance with its terms and the Debtors emerged from the Chapter 11 cases.

Pursuant to the Plan and the Amended and Restated Plan Support Agreement, dated as of March 9, 2021, by and among the Company and the other parties thereto (“PSA”), the Investor Rights Agreement (as defined below) and the certificate of designations governing our Series B Preferred Stock, the following members of our Board have been designated to serve on the Board by certain of the selling security holders: (i) Steven Silver (who currently serves as Senior Managing Director and Co-Head of Private Equity at Centerbridge), Julia Steyn and Robert Shanks, who were designated by Centerbridge, (ii) Steven Tesoriere (who currently serves as Co-Portfolio Manager and Managing Director at Oaktree), Daniel Ninivaggi and D’aun Norman, who were designated by Oaktree, (iii) John Petry, who was designated by the Additional Investors (as defined in the PSA) and who founded Sessa Capital IM, L.P. (“Sessa Capital”) in 2012 and currently serves as its Managing Principal and (iv) Tina Pierce, who was designated by Honeywell and currently serves as Vice President and Chief Executive Officer of Honeywell Performance Materials and Technologies. Except as set forth above, the selling security holders are not directors, officers or employees of ours or affiliates of such persons.

Related Party Transactions

Transactions with Honeywell

We lease certain facilities and receive property maintenance services from Honeywell, which is the owner of our Series B Preferred Stock and appoints a director to our Board. We also contract with Honeywell for the occasional purchase of certain goods and services. Lease and service agreements were made at commercial terms prevalent in the market at the time they were executed. Our payments under our lease agreements with Honeywell were approximately $9 million during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and approximately $2 million from the beginning of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 to the date of this proxy statement. Our payments under our bearings purchase and professional and other services agreements with Honeywell were less than $1 million in each of the same periods.

Second Amended and Restated Plan Support Agreement

On March 9, 2021, we entered into the PSA with Centerbridge, Oaktree, Honeywell and certain other investors and parties, which, on aggregate, held (at the time of the transactions in question) more than 5% of our registered securities, pursuant to which the Company agreed to reimburse such parties for their professional fees and expenses, subject to an interim cap on certain expenses of $25 million prior to the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy. Pursuant to the PSA, the Company reimbursed such investors and parties, who on aggregate beneficially owned 264,350,147 shares of our Common Stock and 225,464,670 shares of Series A Preferred Stock as of the Effective Date.

Replacement Equity Backstop Commitment Agreement

On March 9, 2021, we entered into a Replacement Equity Backstop Commitment Agreement (the “BCA”) with certain investors and parties, which, on aggregate, held (at the time of the transactions in question) more than 5% of our registered securities, pursuant to which the Company agreed to reimburse certain parties for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses for all attorneys, accountants, other professionals, advisors and consultants incurred by those security holders or their affiliates in connection with the Company’s bankruptcy, subject to an interim cap of $25 million. Pursuant to the PSA and BCA, the Company reimbursed such investors and parties, who on aggregate beneficially owned 264,350,147 shares of our Common Stock and 225,464,670 shares of Series A Preferred Stock as of the Effective Date, in an aggregate amount of approximately $73.4 million.

Registration Rights Agreement

On April 30, 2021, we entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the holders of our Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock named therein to provide for resale registration rights for the holders’ Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement).

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to file with the SEC the shelf registration statement of which this prospectus is a part for the offer and resale of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock held by Centerbridge, Oaktree and certain other investors and parties. The parties to the Registration Rights Agreement have customary underwritten offering and piggyback registration rights, subject to the limitations set forth therein. Under their underwritten offering registration rights, one or more of the parties to the Registration Rights Agreement holding, collectively, at least 7.5% of the aggregate number of Registrable Securities and Registrable Securities with an anticipated aggregate gross offering price (before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions) of at least $50 million have the right to demand that we file a registration statement with the SEC, and further have the right to demand that we effectuate the distribution of any or all of such holder’s Registrable Securities by means of an underwritten offering pursuant to an effective registration statement, subject to certain limitations described in the Registration Rights Agreement. The holders’ piggyback registration rights provide that, if at any time we propose to undertake a registered offering of our Common Stock, whether or not for our own account, we must give at least five business days’ notice to all holders of Registrable Securities to allow them to include a specified number of their Registrable Securities in the offering.

These registration rights are subject to certain conditions and limitations, including our right to delay or withdraw a registration statement under certain circumstances. We will generally pay all registration expenses in connection with our obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, regardless of whether any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement. The registration rights granted in the Registration Rights Agreement are subject to customary indemnification and contribution provisions, as well as customary restrictions such as blackout periods and, if an underwritten offering is contemplated, limitations on the number of shares to be included in the underwritten offering that may be imposed by the managing underwriter.

For further description of the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, please see “Description of Capital Stock – Registration Rights Agreement” below.

Investor Rights Agreement

On April 30, 2021, we entered into an Investor Rights Agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement”) with Centerbridge, Oaktree and certain other investors party thereto including an affiliate of Sessa Capital (the “Additional Investors”), pursuant to which, subject to certain thresholds for beneficial share ownership, Centerbridge and Oaktree each have the right to designate three directors to our Board and the Additional Investors have the right to designate one director to our Board.

Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, Centerbridge and Oaktree will each have a continuing right to designate three directors to the Board, subject to its (and permitted transferees’) beneficial ownership of at least 60% of their respective aggregate initial ownership interest as of the Effective Date (the “Initial Investor Interest”), at least one of which will not be employed by Centerbridge or Oaktree, as applicable, or their respective affiliates. If

 

17


Table of Contents

Centerbridge or Oaktree, as applicable, beneficially own less than 60% but at least 40% of their respective Initial Investor Interest, then they will each have the right to designate at least two directors to the Board. If Centerbridge or Oaktree, as applicable, beneficially own less than 40% but at least 20% of their respective Initial Investor Interest, then they will each have the right to designate at least one director to the Board. If Centerbridge or Oaktree, as applicable, cease to own at least 20% of their respective Initial Investor Interest, then they will have no right to designate any directors to the Board.

Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, the Additional Investors will have a continuing right to designate one director for election to the Board, subject to its (and permitted transferees’) beneficial ownership of at least 60% of their Initial Investor Interest. If the Additional Investors beneficially own less than 60% of their Initial Investor Interest, then they will have no right to designate any directors to the Board. The designee of the Additional Investors shall be the person nominated, separately and not jointly, by those Additional Investors holding at least 65% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by the Additional Investors at such time. After the Additional Investors no longer have a right to designate a director as described above, if the Company becomes aware that at least 20% of the Series A Preferred Stock issued as of the Effective Date is held by stockholders other than Centerbridge and Oaktree, then the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding (excluding Series A Preferred Stock held by Centerbridge and the Oaktree) will collectively have the right to designate one director to the Board.

Series B Preferred Stock Certificate of Designations

Pursuant to the Certificate of Designations for our Series B Preferred Stock, Honeywell has the right to elect or appoint one director to our Board until the first date on which certain amounts due to Honeywell under the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock are, on aggregate, equal to or less than $125.0 million.

Under the terms of the original Certificate of Designations for our Series B Preferred Stock, we were obligated to redeem an aggregate number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock equal to an aggregate redemption amount of $834.8 million, payable to Honeywell in annual cash installments beginning in 2022 and ending in 2030, subject to various conditions and put and call rights set forth in the Certificate of Designations for the Series B Preferred Stock.

On December 28, 2021, we elected to complete an early partial redemption of 345,988,497 shares of Series B Preferred Stock for an aggregate price of approximately $211 million, and on February 18, 2022, we elected to complete an early partial redemption of 217,183,244 shares of Series B Preferred Stock for an aggregate price of approximately $197 million. Following these early partial redemptions, we will be required by the amended and restated Certificate of Designations for the Series B Preferred Stock to make future scheduled redemptions of shares of Series B Preferred Stock in the amount of $18 million, $100 million, $100 million and $54 million, in the years 2024 to 2027, respectively, subject to various conditions and put and call rights set forth in the Certificate of Designations for the Series B Preferred Stock.

A dividend on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock may not be declared, and a distribution or other payment may not be made to holders thereof, so long as the Company has not satisfied or cannot satisfy in full deferred redemption payments or the next scheduled redemption payment owed to holders of Series B Preferred Stock.

Consultant Fee Letter

On April 26, 2021, we entered into a Consultant Fee Reimbursement Letter with Oaktree and its consultant (the “Fee Letter”). The Fee Letter was executed in order to document our agreement to (a) reimburse, pursuant to the PSA, Oaktree’s reasonable and documented fees and expenses incurred in its retention of the consultant in connection with the transactions contemplated by the PSA up to $112,500 and (b) facilitate Oaktree’s arrangements with the consultant to provide a co-investment opportunity in shares of Series A Preferred Stock with an aggregate subscription price of approximately $250,000, which Oaktree otherwise would have been entitled to acquire pursuant to the PSA.

Our Board has adopted written policies and procedures (the “Policy”) for the review, approval and ratification of any transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) (each, a “Related Person Transaction”) in which the Company (including any of its subsidiaries) was, is or will be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any “Related Person” had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Prior to entering into any Related Person Transaction, the Related Person must provide notice to our General Counsel of the facts and circumstances of the proposed Related Person Transaction. The Policy calls for the proposed transaction to be assessed by the General Counsel and, if determined to be a Related Person Transaction, submitted to the Audit Committee for its consideration at the next Audit Committee meeting or, if the General Counsel, in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer, determines that it is not practicable or desirable to wait until the next Audit Committee meeting, to the Chair of the Audit Committee.

the benefits to the Company of the proposed transaction;

 

   

the impact on a director’s independence in the event the Related Person is a director, an immediate family member of a director or an entity in which a director is a partner, stockholder or executive officer; and

 

   

the availability of other sources for comparable products or services, the terms of the transaction including their fairness to the Company, and the terms available to unrelated third parties or to employees generally.

The Audit Committee (or the Chair of the Audit Committee) shall approve only those Related Person Transactions that are in, or are not inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company, as the Audit Committee (or its Chair) determines in good faith. From time to time, the Audit Committee shall review certain previously approved or ratified Related Person Transactions that remain ongoing in nature.

The Policy also deems certain transactions to be pre-approved or ratified under its terms, even if such transactions will exceed $120,000, including Related Person Transactions involving competitive bids, certain employment relationships or transactions approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board or another group of independent directors, certain transactions between the Company and Honeywell relating to the provision of ancillary services by Honeywell to the Company at facilities leased from Honeywell, and certain other transactions with Honeywell not exceeding $200,000 in aggregate per quarter.

Holders of shares of the Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if declared by the Board at its discretion out of funds legally available for that purpose, subject to the preferential rights of any preferred stock that may be outstanding. The timing, declaration, amount and payment of future dividends will depend on the Company’s financial condition, earnings, capital requirements and debt service obligations, as well as legal requirements, regulatory constraints, industry practice and other factors that the Board deems relevant.

Table of Contents

Designations relating to any series of preferred stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of preferred stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon.

Subject to the rights of any outstanding series of preferred stock, directors will be elected by a majority of the votes cast, provided that, in contested elections, directors will be elected by a plurality of the validly cast votes represented in person or by proxy with respect to the election. There are no cumulative voting rights for the election of directors.

Other Rights

Subject to the preferential liquidation rights of any preferred stock that may be outstanding, including the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock, upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of the Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in the Company’s assets legally available for distribution to stockholders.

Under the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws, the Company is prohibited from issuing any non-voting equity securities, provided that such restriction (i) only applies to the extent required under Section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) only for so long as Section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code is in effect and applicable to the Company and (iii) may be amended or eliminated in accordance with applicable law as from time to time may be in effect. Such a restriction in no way restricts or prevents the issuance of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock, regardless of any voting rights granted thereto.

Fully Paid

The issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock are fully paid and non-assessable. Any additional shares of Common Stock that the Company may issue in the future will also be fully paid and non-assessable.

The holders of the Common Stock do not have preemptive rights or preferential rights to subscribe for shares of the Company’s capital stock.

Series A Preferred Stock

Dividends

Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by a committee of disinterested directors of the Board, which currently consists of Daniel Ninivaggi, Julia Steyn, Robert Shanks, and D’aun Norman (the “Disinterested Directors Committee”) out of funds legally available for such dividend, cumulative cash dividends at an annual rate of 11% on the stated amount per share plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends on such share, accumulating on a daily basis and payable quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, respectively, in each year. Such a dividend will not be declared at any time when Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designations) of the Company and its subsidiaries for the most recent four fiscal quarters for which financial statements of the Company are available is less than $425,000,000. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will accumulate whether or not declared. Under the terms of our Series B Preferred Stock, a dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock may not be declared so long as the Company has not satisfied or cannot satisfy in full any deferred redemption payments or redemption payments owed on the next scheduled redemption date to holders of Series B Preferred Stock.

Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will also be entitled to such dividends paid to holders of Common Stock to the same extent as if such holders of Series A Preferred Stock had converted their shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock (without regard to any limitations on conversions) and had held such shares of

Table of Contents

Common Stock on the record date for such dividends and distributions. Such payments will be made concurrently with the dividend or distribution to the holders of the Common Stock. However, the Credit Agreement includes restrictions on the Company’s ability to pay such participating dividends on shares of its Series A Preferred Stock and dividends on shares of its Common Stock, in each case subject to certain exceptions and carve-outs.

So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, no dividend shall be paid or declared, and no distribution shall be made, on any class of Common Stock or any future class of preferred stock established thereafter by the Board (other than any series of capital stock that ranks pari passu to the Series A Preferred Stock) (such stock “Dividend Junior Stock”), other than a dividend payable solely in Dividend Junior Stock, unless (i) all cumulative accrued and unpaid preference dividends on all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been paid in full and the full dividend thereon due has been paid or declared and set aside for payment and (ii) all prior redemption requirements with respect to Series A Preferred Stock have been complied with. Notwithstanding this limitation, the Certificate of Designations for the Series A Preferred Stock permits the payment or declaration of a dividend, or the making of a distribution, on Dividend Junior Stock even if there are cumulative accrued and unpaid Preference Dividends that have not been paid in full or the full dividend for the then current Preference Dividend Period has not been paid or declared and set aside for payment, but only if (x) the distribution consists of the purchase, redemption or other acquisition by the Company of Dividend Junior Stock for cash, and such distribution is approved by the Disinterested Directors Committee of the Board and ratified by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the Board, or (y) the holders of Series A Preferred Stock participate ratably in the dividend or distribution, and such dividend or distribution is declared or approved by the Disinterested Directors Committee of the Board and ratified by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board.

Voting

Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote together as a single class with the holders of Common Stock, with each such holder entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of votes such holder would have been entitled to cast if such holder were the holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the whole number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon conversion of such holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock in addition to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the amount of cumulative unpaid preference dividends (whether or not authorized or declared) divided by the lesser of (i) the fair market value per share of such additional shares and (ii) the fair market value per share of the Common Stock.

So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, a vote or the consent of the holders representing a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock will be required for (i) effecting or validating any amendment, modification or alteration to the Certificate of Incorporation that would authorize or create, or increase the authorized amount of, any shares of any class or series or any securities convertible into shares of any class or series of capital stock that would rank senior or pari passu to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividend payments or upon the occurrence of a liquidation, (ii) any increase in the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock or of any series of capital stock that ranks pari passu with Series A Preferred Stock, (iii) effecting or validating any amendment, alteration or repeal of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws that would have an adverse effect on the rights, preferences, privileges or voting power of Series A Preferred Stock or the holders thereof in any material respect, or (iv) any action or inaction that would reduce the stated amount of any share of Series A Preferred Stock to below $5.25 per share.

Liquidation

Upon liquidation, Series A Preferred Stock will rank senior to the Common Stock and to the Series B Preferred Stock, and will have the right to be paid, out of the assets of the Company legally available for distribution to its stockholders, an amount equal to the Aggregate Liquidation Entitlement (as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designations) for all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

Other Rights

All shares of Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert to shares of Common Stock, at a conversion price of $5.25 per share of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as described in the Series A Certificate of Designations) (the “Conversion Price”) upon either (i) the election of holders representing a majority of the then-

Shares of Series A Preferred Stock are also convertible into Common Stock at any time at the option of the holder, effective on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 in each year, or on the third business day prior to the date of redemption of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock as described in the following paragraph.

The Company may, at its election, redeem all but not less than all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock (i) at any time following the date which is six years after the Effective Date or (ii) in connection with the consummation of a Change of Control (as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designations), in either case for a cash purchase price equal to $5.25 per share plus cumulative unpaid preference dividends (whether or not authorized or declared) as of the redemption date.

Series B Preferred Stock

Dividends

The Series B Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any dividends or other distributions or payments other than the scheduled redemption payments and payments upon liquidation as provided in the Series B Certificate of Designations.

Scheduled Redemptions

On April 30 of each year, beginning on April 30, 2022 and ending on April 30, 2030, on which any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding (each a “Scheduled Redemption Date”), the Company will redeem, pro rata from each holder, an aggregate number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock equal to a scheduled redemption amount with respect to such Scheduled Redemption Date as set forth in the Series B Certificate of Designations divided by $1.00 per share (the “Scheduled Redemption Amounts”), provided that the Company will not be obligated to redeem the shares of Series B Preferred Stock on a Scheduled Redemption Date if, as of such date, (i) the consolidated EBITDA of the Company and its subsidiaries measured as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year is less than $425,000,000 or (ii) the Company does not have sufficient funds legally available to pay the redemption amount due on such Scheduled Redemption Date. Shares of Series B Preferred Stock whose redemption on a Scheduled Redemption Date is deferred, and which are not thereafter redeemed in accordance with the applicable Initial Deferral Payment Schedule (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designations) will accrue interest from and after the time that the Company fails to make redemption payments in accordance with the applicable Initial Deferral Payment Schedule. Any shares of Series B Preferred Stock that have not been redeemed on a Scheduled Redemption Date outstanding as of April 30, 2030, will be redeemed on April 30, 2030.

agreement containing or imposing, directly or indirectly, any restriction (including, but not limited to, any covenant or agreement) on the Company’s ability to make required payments on or redeem the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, (iv) any amendment, modification, alteration or repeal of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or any other certificate of designations of the Company that would have an adverse effect, in any material respect, on the rights, preferences, privileges or voting power of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock or any holder thereof or any amendment, modification, alteration or repeal of the Series B Certificate of Designations, (iv) any increase in the number of members of the Board at a time when the sum of (x) the aggregate value of deferred Scheduled Redemption Amounts relating to past Scheduled Redemption Dates (plus any unpaid interest accruing thereon) plus (y) the aggregate present value of future Scheduled Redemption Amounts, calculated using a discount rate of 7.25% (such sum, the “Aggregate Series B Liquidation Preference”) is greater than $125,000,000 or (vi) any action or inaction that would reduce the stated amount of any share of Series B Preferred Stock to below $1.00 per share.

Other Rights

Upon liquidation, the Series B Preferred Stock will rank (A) senior to the Common Stock and (B) junior to the Series A Preferred Stock, and will have a right to be paid the Aggregate Series B Liquidation Preference.

The Company will be automatically obligated to redeem all shares of Series B Preferred Stock upon (i) a Change of Control (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designations), (ii) an assertion from the Company or the Board that any portion of the Series B Preferred Stock or any of the Company’s obligations under the Series B Certificate of Designations are invalid or unenforceable, (iii) if indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Agreement is accelerated (and such acceleration is not rescinded), or (iv) the Company or any of its material subsidiaries enters bankruptcy or similar proceedings affecting creditors’ or equity holders’ rights.

Each holder of Series B Preferred Stock will have the right to require the Company to redeem all, but not less than all, of such holder’s shares of Series B Preferred Stock if the Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designations) of the Company and its subsidiaries exceeds $600,000,000 for two consecutive fiscal quarters.

Under the terms of the Series B Certificate of Designations, the Majority in Interest (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designations) has the exclusive right, voting separately as a class, to elect or appoint one director to the Board (such director the “Series B Director”).

The Majority in Interest has a continuing right, voting separately as a class, to elect or appoint the Series B Director, and an exclusive right to remove the Series B Director at any time for any reason or no reason (with or without cause), subject to the rights of other holders to remove any Series B Director for cause to the extent provided by the DGCL, until the first date on which the Aggregate Series B Liquidation Preference is not greater than $125,000,000 (the “Series B Threshold Date”). From and after the Series B Threshold Date, the Majority in Interest will have no right to elect or appoint any directors to the Board. If the Majority in Interest is no longer entitled to elect or appoint a Series B Director, then the then-serving Series B Director will automatically be deemed to have resigned from the Board.

So long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company may not take certain actions without the written consent of the Majority in Interest (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designations), including, among other things, increasing the size of the Board of Directors so long as the Aggregate Series B Liquidation Preference is greater than $125,000,000.

Anti-Takeover Protections

Certain provisions in the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws summarized below may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, deter or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider to be in its best interests, including attempts that might result in a premium being paid over the market price for the shares held by stockholders. These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of the Board and in the policies formulated by the Board and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened change of control.

Removal

Subject to the rights of holders of any one or more series of preferred stock, the Certificate of Incorporation provides that (i) any director may be removed with or without cause and (ii) the removal of any director, with or without cause, will require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding shares of all classes and series of capital stock generally entitled to vote in the election of directors of the Company.

For information on the rights of holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock regarding the removal of directors, see “— Series B Preferred Stock — Voting” above and “Series A Investor Rights Agreement” below.

Blank Check Preferred Stock

The Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the Board to designate and issue, without any further vote or action by the stockholders (subject to the rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock, as set out above), out of the unissued shares of preferred stock, series of preferred stock and, with respect to such series, to fix the number of shares constituting the series and the designation of the series, the voting powers (if any) of the shares of the series, and the preferences and relative, participating, optional and other rights, if any, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions, of the shares of such series. The ability to issue such preferred stock could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a change in control.

Stockholder Action by Written Consent

Prior to the first date on which either the Centerbridge Investors (as defined below) or the Oaktree Investors (as defined below) cease to have the right to designate two individuals for election to the Board (such date, the “Transition Date”), any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the Company’s stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock of the Company having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted so long as the Board has unanimously recommended that the Company’s stockholders take such action. On and after the Transition Date, and subject to the rights of the holders of any outstanding series of preferred stock, any action required or permitted to be taken by the holders of any class or series of stock of the Company may be taken only upon the vote of stockholders at annual or special meetings duly called and may not be taken by written consent of the stockholders.

Special Stockholder Meetings

The Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws provide that a special meeting of stockholders may only be called by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board, the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer (or, in the absence of a Chief Executive Officer, the President) of the Company, or by the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, for so long as the Centerbridge Investors and the Oaktree Investors beneficially own, in the aggregate, a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Each special meeting shall be held at such date, time and place either within or without the State of Delaware, or by means of remote communication, as may be determined by the Board and as specified in the notice of meeting. Except as described herein, stockholders may not call or request special meetings of stockholders.

Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals

The Bylaws establish advance notice procedures for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders and proposed nominations of persons for election to the Board to be brought before an annual or special meeting of the stockholders. Although the Bylaws do not give the Board the power to approve or disapprove stockholder nominations of candidates or proposals regarding other business to be conducted at a special or annual meeting, the Bylaws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed or may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company.

No Cumulative Voting

The DGCL provides that stockholders are denied the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless the company’s certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. The Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting.

Amendments to Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

The DGCL provides that the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of a company’s voting stock then outstanding is required to amend such company’s certificate of incorporation unless the company’s certificate of incorporation provides a higher threshold, and our Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for a higher threshold. The Certificate of Incorporation provides that the By-Laws may be amended by the Board or by the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock entitled generally to vote in the election of directors of the Company, voting together as a single class. Except as otherwise required by law, holders of Common Stock, as such, shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this the Certificate of Incorporation, the DGCL, or a Certificate of Designations setting forth the terms of such series of Preferred Stock.

Section 203 of the DGCL

The Company is subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, which, subject to certain exceptions, prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder.

The acquisition of shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the Plan by the Centerbridge Investors and the Oaktree Investors was approved by the Board for the purposes of Section 203 of the DGCL.

Limitation on Liability of Directors and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Delaware law authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties as directors, and the Certificate of Incorporation includes such an exculpation provision. The Bylaws and Certificate of Incorporation include provisions that indemnify, to the fullest extent allowable under the DGCL, the personal liability of directors or officers for monetary damages for actions taken as a director, officer or agent of the Company, or for serving at the Company’s request as a director, officer or agent at another corporation or enterprise, as the case may be. The Bylaws and Certificate of Incorporation also provide that the Company must indemnify and advance reasonable expenses to the Company’s directors, officers and employees, subject to receipt of an undertaking from the indemnified party as may be required under the DGCL. The Bylaws expressly authorize the Company to carry directors’ and officers’ insurance to protect the Company, its directors, officers and employees for some liabilities.

Exclusive Forum

The Certificate of Incorporation provides, in all cases to the fullest extent permitted by law, that unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery located within the State of Delaware is the sole and exclusive forum for any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of the Company’s directors, officers or other employees or stockholders to the Company or its stockholders, any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to the DGCL or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery located in the State of Delaware, any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine or any other action asserting an “internal corporate claim” as that term is defined in Section 115 of the DGCL. However, if the Court of Chancery within the State of Delaware does not have jurisdiction, the action may be brought in any other state or federal court located within the State of Delaware.

 

26


Table of Contents

In addition, the Certificate of Incorporation provides that, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act shall be the federal district courts of the United States.

Nothing in the Certificate of Incorporation precludes stockholders that assert claims under the Exchange Act, from bringing such claims in federal court to the extent that the Exchange Act confers exclusive federal jurisdiction over such claims, subject to applicable law.

Although the Certificate of Incorporation contains the choice of forum provision described above, it is possible that a court could find that such a provision is inapplicable for a particular claim or action or that such provision is unenforceable. For example, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Accordingly, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such a forum selection provision as written in connection with claims arising under the Securities Act.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock is Equiniti Trust Company. The registrar for the Series B Preferred Stock is Equiniti Trust Company.

Listing

The Common Stock and the Series A Preferred Stock are listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

Registration Rights Agreement

Pursuant to the Plan, the Company and certain holders of the Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock (the “Registration Rights Holders”) executed the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of the Effective Date.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company was obligated to provide, and as of the date of the filing of the original Registration Statement had already provided, notice to the Accredited Investor Eligible Holders (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) that they are (i) able to become parties to the Registration Rights Agreement and (ii) participate in the Shelf Registration Statement (the “Shelf Notice”). The Company agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to file with the SEC a shelf registration statement on Form S-1, the (“Shelf Registration Statement”), of which this prospectus is a part, covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) on a continuous basis as promptly as practicable following the Effective Date (taking into account the need to provide Accredited Investor Eligible Holders a reasonable opportunity to respond to the Shelf Notice (as defined below) and in any event no later than 30 days following the Effective Date). As promptly as practicable thereafter, the Company agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to become effective on the earliest date practicable.

At any time following the Effective Date, any Registration Rights Holders who, directly or indirectly, together with their respective affiliates, have beneficial ownership of at least 7.5% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, after giving effect to the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (such Registration Rights Holders, the “Required Investors”), may request registration of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities beneficially owned by such Required Investors on Form S-1 or, if available, on Form S-3 (each, a “Demand Registration”). Unless there is a currently effective Shelf Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities, the Company will effect such Demand Registration by filing with the SEC a registration statement within (i) 60 days in the case of a registration statement on Form S-1 and (ii) 30 days in the case of a registration statement on Form S-3. The aggregate number of Demand Registrations on Form S-1 that may be requested by the Required Investors shall not exceed four; the Required Investors may request an unlimited number of Demand Registrations on Form S-3.

Table of Contents

The relevant Required Investors may request to effectuate any offering of Registrable Securities by means of an underwritten offering, provided that the aggregate gross proceeds of such public offering are expected to be at least $50 million. The Company will not be required to effect more than one underwritten offering in any 90-day period.

In the event the Company proposes to file a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to any offering of its equity securities, the Company will give written notice of such proposed filing to the Registration Rights Holders as soon as practicable (but in no event less than five business days prior to the proposed date of public filing of such shelf), and such notice shall offer the Registration Rights Holders the opportunity to register under such registration statement the resale of such number of Registrable Securities as each such Registration Rights Holder may request in writing (a “Piggyback Registration”). If the Company proposes to file a registration statement that is not a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to any offering of its equity securities, the Company will give written notice of such proposed filing to certain of the Registration Rights Holders (the “Piggyback Eligible Investors”), and such notice shall offer the Piggyback Eligible Investors the opportunity to make a Piggyback Registration. If the Company proposes to undertake an underwritten offering pursuant to a registration statement for which there was a Piggyback Registration, the Piggyback Eligible Investors may be entitled to participate in such underwritten offering, subject to customary “cutback” provisions in certain circumstances.

If requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters in the event of any underwritten public offering of equity securities by the Company, each holder of Registrable Securities participating in such sale agrees, as a condition to such holder’s participation in the offering, to execute a lock-up agreement, which will provide for restrictions on transferring the Company’s capital stock as specified in the Registration Rights Agreement. Additionally, in connection with any underwritten public offering of Registrable Securities and upon the request of the managing underwriter or underwriters, the Company will agree not to effect any public sale or distribution of any Lock-Up Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement).

The Registration Rights Agreement includes customary indemnification provisions. The Company will be responsible for its own expenses associated with the performance of its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement and certain fees and expenses of legal counsel to the relevant Registration Rights Holders. Except as described in the preceding sentence, the Registration Rights Holders will bear their own expenses, including any underwriting discounts, selling commissions and transfer taxes applicable to any sale of Registrable Securities.

The Registration Rights Agreement will automatically terminate upon the later of (i) the expiration of the Shelf Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and (ii) at such time as no Registrable Securities remain outstanding.

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, which is attached to the Registration Statement of which this prospectus forms a part as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

Series A Investor Rights Agreement

Pursuant to the Plan, the Company entered into a Series A Investor Rights Agreement (the “Series A Investor Rights Agreement”) with Centerbridge Credit Partners Master, L.P. (“Centerbridge Credit”), Centerbridge Special Credit Partners III-Flex, L.P. (“Centerbridge Special Credit” and, together with Centerbridge Credit, the “Centerbridge Investors”), OCM Opps GTM Holdings, LLC (“OCM Opps”), Oaktree Value Opportunities Fund Holdings, L.P. (“Oaktree Value”), Oaktree Phoenix Investment Fund, L.P. (“Oaktree Phoenix”) and Oaktree Opportunities Fund Xb Holdings (Delaware), L.P. (“Oaktree Opportunities” and, together with OCM Opps, Oaktree Value and Oaktree Phoenix, the “Oaktree Investors”) and the other signatories thereto (the “Additional Investors” and, together with the Centerbridge Investors and the Oaktree Investors, the “Series A Investors”). Pursuant to the Series A Investor Rights Agreement, as of the Effective Date, the Centerbridge Investors and Oaktree Investors each have the right to designate three directors for election to the Board and the Additional Investors have the right to designate one director for election to the Board. One director will be the chief executive officer of the Company.

The Centerbridge Investors and Oaktree Investors each have a continuing right to designate three directors to the Board, subject to their respective (and permitted transferees’) beneficial ownership of at least 60% of their

Table of Contents

respective aggregate initial ownership interest as of the Effective Date (the “Initial Investor Interest”), at least one of which will not be employed by Centerbridge Investors or Oaktree Investors, as applicable, or their respective affiliates. If the Centerbridge Investors or Oaktree Investors, as applicable, beneficially own less than 60% but at least 40% of their respective Initial Investor Interest, then they will each have the right to designate at least two directors to the Board. If the Centerbridge Investors or Oaktree Investors, as applicable, beneficially own less than 40% but at least 20% of their respective Initial Investor Interest, then they will each have the right to designate at least one director to the Board. If the Centerbridge Investors or Oaktree Investors, as applicable, cease to own at least 20% of their respective Initial Investor Interest, then they will have no right to designate any directors to the Board.

Pursuant to the Series A Investor Rights Agreement, the Additional Investors have a continuing right to designate one director for election to the Board, subject to their (and permitted transferees’) beneficial ownership of at least 60% of their Initial Investor Interest. If the Additional Investors beneficially own less than 60% of their Initial Investor Interest, then they have no right to designate any directors to the Board. The designee of the Additional Investors shall be the person nominated, separately and not jointly, by those Additional Investors holding at least 65% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by the Additional Investors at such time. After the Additional Investors no longer have a right to designate a director as described above, if the Company becomes aware that at least 20% of the Series A Preferred Stock issued as of the Effective Date is held by stockholders other than the Centerbridge Investors and Oaktree Investors, then the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding (excluding Series A Preferred Stock held by the Centerbridge Investors and the Oaktree Investors) will collectively have the right to designate one director to the Board.

If the number of individuals that any Series A Investor has the right to designate for election to the Board is decreased in accordance with the foregoing, then the corresponding number of directors designated by such Investor will immediately offer to resign from the Board under the terms of the Series A Investor Rights Agreement.

The Company is restricted under the Series A Investor Rights Agreement from increasing the size of the Board without the written consent of the Series A Investors holding a majority of the then-outstanding Series A Preferred Stock for so long as the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock represents, in the aggregate, a majority of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding shares of all classes and series of capital stock of the Company entitled generally to vote in the election of directors of the Company.

The foregoing description of the Series A Investor Rights Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Series A Investor Rights Agreement, which is attached to the Registration Statement of which this prospectus forms a part as Exhibit 4.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.

CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS

This section describes the material United States federal income tax consequences of our Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock. It applies to you only if you acquire your Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock in this offering from a selling shareholder and you hold your Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock as capital assets for tax purposes. This discussion addresses only United States federal income taxation and does not discuss all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to you in light of your individual circumstances, including foreign, state or local tax consequences, estate and gift tax consequences, and tax consequences arising under the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income or the alternative minimum tax. This section does not apply to you if you are a member of a special class of holders subject to special rules, including:

 

   

a dealer in securities,

 

   

a trader in securities that elects to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for securities holdings,

 

   

a tax-exempt organization,

 

   

a life insurance company,

 

   

a person that actually or constructively owns 10% or more of the combined voting power of our voting stock or of the total value of our stock,

 

   

a person that holds our Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock as part of a straddle or a hedging or conversion transaction,

 

   

a person that purchases or sells our Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock as part of a wash sale for tax purposes, or

 

   

a U.S. holder (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.

This section is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“Code”), as amended, its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations, published rulings, court decisions, and published positions of the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) all as currently in effect. These authorities are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis.

If an entity or arrangement that is treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes holds our Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock, the United States federal income tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and the tax treatment of the partnership. A partner in a partnership holding our Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock should consult its tax advisor with regard to the United States federal income tax treatment of an investment in our Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock You are a U.S. holder if you are a beneficial owner of our Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock and you are, for United States federal income tax purposes:

 

   

a citizen or resident of the United States,

 

   

a domestic corporation,

 

   

an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source, or

 

   

a trust if a United States court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more United States persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

A “non-U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of our Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock that is not a United States person and is not a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes.

Table of Contents

You should consult your own tax advisor regarding the United States federal, state and local tax consequences of owning and disposing of our Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock in your particular circumstances.

U.S. Holders of Common Stock

Amounts paid to a U.S. Holder that are treated as dividends are generally taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Generally, any distributions paid on our Common Stock to a U.S. Holder will be treated as a dividend to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent the amount of any distribution exceeds available earnings and profits, the excess will be applied against and will reduce the Holder’s adjusted tax basis in respect of the stock as to which the distribution was made, but not below zero. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of such stock. Dividends paid to a non-corporate U.S. Holder will qualify for taxation at preferential rates for qualified dividend income if such Holder meets certain holding period and other applicable requirements. If a U.S. Holder is a corporation, dividends received by it will be eligible for the dividends-received deduction if it meets certain holding period and other applicable requirements. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisers regarding the availability of the reduced dividend tax rate or dividends-received deduction in light of their particular circumstances.

Gain or loss that a U.S. Holder recognizes with respect to a sale or exchange of their Common Stock will be capital gain or loss if the Common Stock has been held by the U.S. Holder as a capital asset. Such gain or loss will generally be long-term capital gain or loss if the Common Stock has been held for more than one year.

Non-U.S. Holders of Common Stock

Subject to the discussions below regarding FATCA withholding (defined below) and backup withholding, except as described below, for a non-U.S. Holder of Common Stock, amounts treated as dividends with respect to Common Stock are subject to withholding of United States federal income tax at a 30% rate or at a lower rate if the non-U.S. Holder is eligible for the benefits of an income tax treaty that provides for a lower rate, provided such Holder provides the applicable withholding agent with:

 

   

a valid IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or an acceptable substitute or applicable successor form upon which the non-U.S. Holder certifies, under penalties of perjury, the non-U.S. Holder’s status as a person who is not a United States person and entitlement to the lower treaty rate with respect to such payments; or

 

   

in the case of payments made outside the United States to an offshore account (generally, an account maintained by you at an office or branch of a bank or other financial institution at any location outside the United States), other documentary evidence establishing the non-U.S. Holder’s entitlement to the lower treaty rate in accordance with U.S. Treasury regulations.

If a non-U.S. Holder is eligible for a reduced rate of United States tax under an income tax treaty or because any such distribution is treated as a non-taxable return of capital or as capital gain because it is in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits as described above, the non-U.S. Holder may obtain a refund of any amounts withheld in excess of that rate by filing a refund claim with the IRS.

If dividends paid to a non-U.S. Holder are “effectively connected” with such Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States, and, if required by an income tax treaty, the dividends are attributable to a permanent establishment that the non-U.S. Holder maintains in the United States, payors are generally not required to withhold tax from the dividends, provided that the non-U.S. Holder has furnished to the relevant payor a valid IRS Form W-8ECI or an acceptable substitute or applicable successor form upon which such Holder certifies, under penalties of perjury, that:

 

   

such Holder is not a United States person; and

 

31


Table of Contents
   

the dividends are effectively connected with the non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States and are includible in such Holder’s gross income.

“Effectively connected” dividends are taxed on a net basis at rates applicable to United States citizens, resident aliens and domestic United States corporations.

For a corporate non-U.S. holder, “effectively connected” dividends received may, under certain circumstances, be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate or at a lower rate if it is eligible for the benefits of an income tax treaty that provides for a lower rate.

Any gain recognized on the sale or other taxable disposition of Common Stock by such non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to United States federal income taxation unless:

 

   

the investment in Common Stock is effectively connected with the non-U.S. Holder’s United States trade or business, in which case the non-U.S. Holder will be subject to the same treatment as U.S. Holders with respect to any gain;

 

   

the non-U.S. Holder is a non-resident alien individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year and has a tax home in the United States, in which case the non-resident alien individual will be subject to a 30% tax on the individual’s net capital gains for the taxable year; or

 

   

we are a “United States real property holding corporation” within the meaning of the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations (“USRPHC”) at any time within the shorter of (i) the five-year period preceding the disposition or (ii) the non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Common Stock.

In general, a corporation is a USRPHC if the fair market value of its “United States real property interests” equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of its worldwide real property interests and its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business. In the event that we are determined to be a USRPHC, gain will, nonetheless, not be subject to tax as U.S. trade or business income if your holdings (direct and indirect, taking into account certain constructive ownership rules) at all times during the applicable period described in the third bullet point above constituted 5% or less of our Common Stock, provided that our Common Stock was regularly traded on an established securities market during such period. The Company has not made a determination as to whether we may be a USRPHC.

U.S. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock

Any distributions of cash received by a U.S. Holder of Series A Preferred Stock will be treated as a dividend to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits of under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent the amount of such distribution exceeds available earnings and profits, the excess will be applied against and will reduce the Holder’s adjusted tax basis in respect of the stock as to which the distribution was made, but not below zero. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of such stock. Dividends received by a non-corporate U.S. Holder will qualify for taxation at preferential rates for qualified dividend income if such Holder meets certain holding period and other applicable requirements. If a U.S. Holder is a corporation, dividends received by it will be eligible for the dividends-received deduction if it meets certain holding period and other applicable requirements. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisers regarding the availability of the reduced dividend tax rate or dividends-received deduction in light of their particular circumstances.

We intend to take the position that a holder of Series A Preferred Stock will not include anything in income in the absence of such a distribution of cash. A holder should be aware, however, that section 305 of the Code and the regulations thereunder provide rules that would require inclusion of income in the absence of cash under certain circumstances. In certain circumstances, a deemed dividend could result if there is a disproportionate distribution for purposes of Section 305(b)(2) of the Code that could require the inclusion of income in the absence of cash. These regulations are unclear and open to different interpretations, and it is in any case not clear how the regulations should be applied to this particular set of factual circumstances. We do not intend to seek a ruling from the IRS. The IRS could therefore disagree with our position, and it could ultimately prevail in court. If the IRS were to successfully disagree with our position, a holder could in effect be required to include dividends in income on a current basis as if we had elected to pay its dividends in cash and the holder had recontributed that cash to us in exchange for their additional rights on conversion or liquidation. A U.S. Holder could also be subject to charges for interest and penalties. A U.S. Holder should consult a tax advisor concerning the tax treatment of the Series A Preferred Stock, including the treatment of any actual or deemed distributions thereon, and the risk that a U.S. Holder could be required to include dividends in income in the absence of any receipt of cash. Except where noted, the remainder of this discussion assumes that our intended treatment of the Series A Preferred will be respected.

 

32


Table of Contents

In general, a U.S. Holder should not recognize gain or loss upon the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock. A U.S. Holder’s basis in the shares of Common Stock received will equal the basis of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock exchanged therefor, and the U.S. Holder’s holding period for such shares will include the holding period of the shares exchanges therefor. We intend to take the position that this treatment extends to any shares of Common Stock received in respect of the fact that the we did not declare dividends in cash during prior periods. As noted above, however, it is not clear how the regulations should be applied in this case. The IRS could disagree with our position, and it could ultimately prevail in court. If the IRS were to successfully disagree with our position and the conversion were treated as a dividend, a holder could be required to include the entire fair market value of such Common Stock in income as a dividend received at that time. A U.S. Holder could also be subject to charges for interest and penalties. A U.S. Holder should consult a tax advisor concerning the treatment of the conversion, including the risk that a U.S. Holder could be required to include such Common Stock in income as a dividend.

Non-U.S. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock

Subject to the discussions below regarding FATCA withholding and backup withholding, except as described below, for a non-U.S. Holder of Series A Preferred Stock, amounts treated as dividends with respect to Series A Preferred Stock are subject to withholding of United States federal income tax at a 30% rate or at a lower rate if the non-U.S. Holder is eligible for the benefits of an income tax treaty that provides for a lower rate, provided such Holder provides the applicable withholding agent with:

 

   

a valid IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, or an acceptable substitute or applicable successor form upon which the non-U.S. Holder certifies, under penalties of perjury, the non-U.S. Holder’s status as a person who is not a United States person and entitlement to the lower treaty rate with respect to such payments; or

 

   

in the case of payments made outside the United States to an offshore account (generally, an account maintained by you at an office or branch of a bank or other financial institution at any location outside the United States), other documentary evidence establishing the non-U.S. Holder’s entitlement to the lower treaty rate in accordance with U.S. Treasury regulations.

If a non-U.S. Holder is eligible for a reduced rate of United States tax under an income tax treaty or because any such distribution is treated as a non-taxable return of capital or as capital gain because it is in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits as described above, the non-U.S. Holder may obtain a refund of any amounts withheld in excess of that rate by filing a refund claim with the IRS.

We intend to take the position that a holder of Series A Preferred Stock will not include anything in income in the absence of such a distribution of cash and consistent with such treatment, we expect that withholding, if applicable, would apply only to cash payments to a non-U.S. holder of Series A Preferred Stock. However, a non-U.S. Holder should review the discussion immediately above with regard to the taxation of U.S. Holders and focus on the portion thereof that deals with the risk that holders of Series A Preferred Stock might be required to include dividends in income in the absence of any receipt of cash at the time. A non-US holder could be subject to withholding in respect of such inclusion.

If dividends paid to a non-U.S. Holder are “effectively connected” with such Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States, and, if required by an income tax treaty, the dividends are attributable to a permanent establishment that the non-U.S. Holder maintains in the United States, payors are generally not required to withhold tax from the dividends, provided that the non-U.S. Holder has furnished to the relevant payor a valid IRS Form W-8ECI or an acceptable substitute or applicable successor form upon which such Holder certifies, under penalties of perjury, that:

 

   

such Holder is not a United States person; and

 

   

the dividends are effectively connected with the non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States and are includible in such Holder’s gross income.

“Effectively connected” dividends are taxed on a net basis at rates applicable to United States citizens, resident aliens and domestic United States corporations.

For a corporate non-U.S. holder, “effectively connected” dividends received may, under certain circumstances, be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate or at a lower rate if it is eligible for the benefits of an income tax treaty that provides for a lower rate.

In general, a non-U.S. holder should not recognize gain or loss upon the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock. However, a non-U.S. Holder should review the discussion immediately above with regard to the taxation of U.S. Holders and the possibility that a portion of the Common Stock received could be included in income as a dividend. Any distribution (including constructive distributions) on our Series A Preferred Stock that is treated as a dividend paid to a non-U.S. Holder that is not effectively connected with the holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States will generally be subject to withholding tax as described above.

FATCA

Pursuant to sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (commonly referred to as “FATCA”), foreign financial institutions (which term includes most foreign hedge funds, private equity funds, mutual funds, securitization vehicles and other investment vehicles) and certain other foreign entities who do not comply with certain information reporting rules with respect to their U.S. account holders, investors or owners may be subject to a 30% withholding tax with respect to any payments of U.S.-source interest or dividends. Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. Under certain circumstances, a non-U.S. Holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes. Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of the FATCA provisions to them based on their particular circumstances.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Payments of interest or dividends and any other reportable payments, possibly including amounts received pursuant to the Plan and payments of proceeds from the sale, retirement or other disposition of the exchange consideration, may be subject to “backup withholding” (currently at a rate of 24%) if a recipient of those payments fails to furnish to the payor certain identifying information and, in some cases, a certification that the recipient is not subject to backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts deducted and withheld generally should be allowed as a refund or credit against that recipient’s U.S. federal income tax, provided that appropriate proof is timely provided under rules established by the IRS. Furthermore, certain penalties may be imposed by the IRS on a recipient of payments who is required to supply information but who does not do so in the proper manner. Backup withholding generally should not apply with respect to payments made to certain exempt recipients, such as corporations and financial institutions. Information may also be required to be provided to the IRS concerning payments, unless an exemption applies. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their qualification for exemption from backup withholding and information reporting and the procedures for obtaining such an exemption. U.S. Treasury regulations generally require disclosure by a taxpayer on its U.S. federal income tax return of certain types of transactions in which the taxpayer participated, including, among other types of transactions, certain transactions that result in the taxpayer’s claiming a loss in excess of certain thresholds. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding these regulations and whether the contemplated transactions under the Plan would be subject to these regulations and require disclosure on their tax returns.

The foregoing summary has been provided for informational purposes only and does not discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to a particular holder’s circumstances and income tax situation. All Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the federal, state, local, and other tax consequences.
