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

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

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

Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., Centerbridge Partners, L.P., (“Centerbridge” and, together with Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., the “Plan Sponsors”), Attestor Value Master Fund LP, The Baupost Group, L.L.C., Cyrus Capital Partners, L.P., FIN Capital Partners LP, Hawk Ridge Capital Management LP, IngleSea Capital, Keyframe Capital Partners, L.P., Newtyn Management, LLC, Sessa Capital (Master), L.P. and Whitebox Multi-Strategy Partners, L.P. (collectively, the “Additional Investors”) and Honeywell International Inc. (“Honeywell”) have entered into an Amended and Restated Coordination Agreement (including the term sheet attached thereto, the “Amended Coordination Agreement”) in anticipation of submitting an alternative proposal for a plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) to the Debtors (as defined in the Amended Coordination Agreement).

Under the Amended Coordination Agreement, (i) the Plan Sponsors have agreed to offer to provide a new money debtor-in-possession term loan facility in a principal amount of up to $250 million (the “DIP Facility”), on terms set forth in a new credit agreement and (ii) the reorganized Company shall issue shares of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock (the “Convertible Series A Preferred Stock”) at a purchase price of up to approximately $1.15 billion in the aggregate.

The Plan contemplates, among other things:

 

   

payment in full in cash of the Debtors’ debtor in possession financing that remains outstanding;

 

   

the payment in full in cash of all outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Debtors’ senior secured credit facility at the contractual non-default rate to the Effective Date;

 

   

(a) if holders of at least 66 2/3% in amount of all Senior Notes Claims (as defined in the Amended Coordination Agreement) execute the Amended Coordination Agreement, the payment in full in cash of all outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Debtors’ 5.125% senior notes due 2026 (the “Senior Notes”) at the contractual non-default rate to the date of the Debtors’ chapter 11 filing; or (b) if holders of at least 66 2/3% in amount of all Senior Notes Claims do not execute the Amended Coordination Agreement, at the option of the Plan Sponsors (i) the reinstatement of the Senior Notes, or (ii) such other treatment rendering the Senior Notes unimpaired;

 

   

in full and final satisfaction and in exchange for each claim of Honeywell arising under that certain Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement, dated September 12, 2018, by and among Honeywell ASASCO Inc., Honeywell ASASCO 2 Inc., and Honeywell and that certain Indemnification Guarantee Agreement, dated as of September 27, 2018, by and among Honeywell ASASCO 2 Inc., as payee, Garrett ASASCO Inc., as payor, and certain subsidiary guarantors as defined therein (collectively, the “Indemnification Agreements”) and that certain Tax Matters Agreement by and among Garrett, Honeywell, Honeywell ASASCO Inc., and Honeywell ASASCO 2 Inc. (the “Tax Matters Agreement”), Honeywell shall receive: (a) an initial payment of $275 million in cash on the Effective Date (the “Initial Payment”); and (b) new series B preferred stock of the reorganized Company, which shall provide for $1.175 billion in total payments to Honeywell through December 31, 2034, unless repaid earlier on the terms and conditions set forth in the term sheet;

 

   

(a) the payment in full in cash of all allowed general unsecured claims against the Debtors, (b) the reinstatement of such claims, or (c) such other treatment rendering such claims unimpaired; and

 

   

the reinstatement of the Common Stock.

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


Based on information provided by Centerbridge and the Additional Investors, the Reporting Persons believe that the Reporting Persons’ holdings, if taken together with what the Reporting Persons currently understand to be the holdings of Centerbridge and the Additional Investors, would represent beneficial ownership in the aggregate of approximately 48.6% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the date of this report. Each Reporting Person expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock held by Centerbridge and the Additional Investors. The Reporting Persons anticipate that Centerbridge and the Additional Investors will file separate statements of beneficial ownership on Schedule 13D containing their required information. The Reporting Persons assume no responsibility for the information contained in any filings by such persons. This filing should not be construed to be an admission that any of the Reporting Persons and Centerbridge or the Additional Investors are members of a “group” for the purposes of Sections 13(d) of the Act.

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

 

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangement, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to include the following:

The information set forth in Item 4 above is incorporated by reference herein.

Section 6. Transfer of Claims and Interests.

(a) During the Effective Period, no Commitment Party, as applicable, shall sell, use, pledge, assign, transfer, permit the participation in, or otherwise dispose of any ownership (including any beneficial ownership4) in any Debtor Claims/Interests in whole or in part (each, a “Transfer”) to any party, unless, solely with respect to Debtor Claims, it satisfies all of the following requirements (a transferee that satisfies such requirements, a “Permitted Transferee,” and such Transfer, a “Permitted Transfer”):

(i) the intended transferee (x) is another Commitment Party, (y) as of the date of such Transfer, the Commitment Party controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such Commitment Party, an affiliate, affiliated fund or affiliated entity with a common investment advisor, or (z) executes a transfer agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (a “Transfer Agreement”) prior to or concurrently with the closing of such Transfer; and

(ii) notice of any Transfer, including the amount transferred and, in the case of (i)(z) above, the fully executed Transfer Agreement, shall be provided on a confidential and “professional eyes only” basis to K&E, Milbank, Jones Day, S&C, Gibson, and R&G within three (3) business days following the closing of such Transfer.

(b) Upon satisfaction of the requirements in Section 6(a), (i) the Permitted Transferee shall be deemed to be a Commitment Party hereunder, and, for the avoidance of doubt, a Permitted Transferee is bound as a Party under this Agreement with respect to any and all claims against, or interests in, any of the Debtors, whether held at the time such Permitted Transferee becomes a Party or later acquired by such Permitted Transferee, and (ii) the transferor shall be deemed to relinquish its rights (and be released from its obligations) under this Agreement to the extent of such transferred rights and obligations.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 6(a), a Qualified Marketmaker5 that acquires any Debtor Claims with the purpose and intent of acting as a Qualified Marketmaker for such Debtor Claims, shall not be required to execute and deliver to any of K&E, Milbank, Jones Day, S&C, Gibson, or R&G a Transfer Agreement in respect of such Debtor Claims if (A) such

 

4 

As used herein, the term “beneficial ownership” means the direct or indirect economic ownership of, and/or the power, whether by contract or otherwise, to direct the exercise of the voting rights and the disposition of, the Debtor Claims/Interests or the right to acquire such claims or interests.

5 

As used herein, the term “Qualified Marketmaker” means an entity that (a) holds itself out to the public or the applicable private markets as standing ready in the ordinary course of business to purchase from customers and sell to customers claims against or interests in the Debtors (or enter with customers into long and short positions in claims against or interests in the Debtors), in its capacity as a dealer or market maker in claims against or interests in the Debtors and (b) is, in fact, regularly in the business of making a market in claims against or interests in issuers or borrowers (including equity or debt securities or other debt).

 

16


Qualified Marketmaker intends to subsequently transfer such Debtor Claims (by purchase, sale, assignment, participation, or otherwise) within five (5) business days of its acquisition to a transferee that is an entity that is not an affiliate, affiliated fund or affiliated entity with a common investment advisor, (B) the transferee otherwise is a Permitted Transferee and (C) the Transfer otherwise is a Permitted Transfer. To the extent that a Commitment Party is acting in its capacity as a Qualified Marketmaker, it may transfer (by purchase, sale, assignment, participation or otherwise) any right, title or interest in the Debtor Claims that such Commitment Party acquires in its capacity as a Qualified Marketmaker from a holder of the Debtor Claims who is not a Commitment Party without regard to the requirements set forth in Section 6(a) hereof.

(d) This Agreement shall in no way be construed to preclude the Commitment Parties from acquiring additional Debtor Claims/Interests; provided, however, that (i) any Commitment Party that acquires additional Debtor Claims, as applicable, after the Agreement Effective Date shall notify K&E, Milbank, Jones Day, S&C, Gibson, and R&G of such acquisition, within five (5) business days following such acquisition, including the amount of such acquisition on a confidential and “professional eyes only” basis, which notice may be deemed to be provided by the filing of a statement with the Bankruptcy Court as required by Rule 2019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, including revised holdings information for such Commitment Party and (ii) such additional Debtor Claims/Interests shall automatically and immediately upon acquisition by a Commitment Party, as applicable, be deemed subject to the terms of this Agreement (regardless of when or whether notice of such acquisition is given to the respective counsels to the Commitment Parties).

(e) In addition, other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, any holder of Debtor Claims/Interests shall become a Party, and become obligated as a Commitment Party, solely to the extent (i) the ascension of such holder to this Agreement is consented to in writing (with email being sufficient) by Honeywell, the Plan Sponsors, and the Requisite Additional Investors (which consent of any of the foregoing shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) and (ii) (x) such holder executes a joinder agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (a “Joinder Agreement”), and shall be deemed a Commitment Party hereunder and (y) such joinder is delivered on a confidential and “professional eyes only” basis to K&E, Milbank, Jones Day, S&C, Gibson, and R&G within three (3) business days following the execution thereof.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Commitment Party shall sell, assign, transfer, permit the participation in, or otherwise dispose of any ownership (including any Beneficial Ownership) in any Debtor Interests, in whole or in part, until (i) the Effective Period has terminated and (ii) such Commitment Party has filed an amendment to its Schedule 13D with respect to Garrett disclosing such termination.

(g) Any Transfer made in violation of this Section 6 shall be void ab initio. Each other Commitment Party shall have the right to enforce the voiding of such Transfer. Any Commitment Party that effectuates a Permitted Transfer to a Permitted Transferee shall have no liability under this Agreement arising from or related to the failure of the Permitted Transferee to comply with the terms of this Agreement.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6, the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section 6 shall not apply to the grant of any liens or

 

17


encumbrances on any claims and interests in favor of a bank or broker dealer or prime broker holding such claims and interests in custody or prime brokerage in the ordinary course of business and which lien or encumbrance is released upon the Transfer of such claims and interests in accordance with the terms of the custody or prime brokerage agreement(s), as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, a bank, broker-dealer or prime broker holding custody of the claims and interests shall not be subject to the terms of this Agreement solely when acting in such capacity.

Section 7. Representations and Warranties.

7.01. Representations and Warranties. Each Commitment Party represents and warrants, severally, and not jointly, and, upon the Debtors becoming a Party, the Debtors also represent and warrant, to each other Party, as of the date hereof (or as of the date a Permitted Transferee or Debtor becomes a Party) that:

18

Section 8. Acknowledgement. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, this Agreement is not and shall not be deemed to be an offer with respect to any securities or solicitation of votes for the acceptance of a plan of reorganization for purposes of sections 1125 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. Any such offer or solicitation will be made only in compliance with all applicable securities laws and provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

(l) if the Debtors are a Party and solely to the extent applicable, the occurrence of an event of default under the DIP Facility or any debtor-in-possession financing that remains outstanding with respect to the Debtors, unless waived by all parties entitled to waive such event of default;

(m) solely with respect to the Additional Investors (upon the exercise by the Requisite Additional Investors of the termination right set forth in this clause (m)), if on or after the 91st day following execution of this Agreement (i) an Approved Plan is not filed with the Bankruptcy Court and (ii) the Bankruptcy Court has entered an order approving bidding procedures in connection with any potential sale of the Debtors’ assets;

(n) the Effective Date has not occurred by March 20, 2021;

(o) if Honeywell, either Plan Sponsor, or the Requisite Additional Investors reasonably determine, in good faith, after consulting with and upon the advice of external counsel, and after consultation with the advisors to Honeywell, the Plan Sponsors, and the Additional Investors, that (i) the implementation or consummation of the Restructuring Transactions is no longer practicable, and (ii) there are no reasonable alternatives available to address the legal, structural, or other impediments preventing the implementation or consummation of the Restructuring Transactions that do not materially and adversely affect the economic treatment of such terminating Party under this Agreement; or

9.02. Debtor Termination Events. Any Debtor may terminate this Agreement as to itself only upon prior written notice to all parties in accordance with Section 11.10 hereof upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

(a) The breach in any material respect by one or more of the Commitment Parties of any of the undertakings, representations, warranties or covenants of the Commitment Parties set forth herein, which breach or failure to act (i) would materially and adversely impede or interfere with the implementation or consummation of the Restructuring Transactions on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (including the Term Sheet) and (ii) is uncured for a period of ten (10) business days after the receipt of written notice in accordance with Section 11.10 of such breach from any non-breaching Party, other than with respect to any breach that is uncurable, for which no notice or cure period shall be required or apply (it being understood and agreed that any actions required to be taken by such Parties that are included in the Approved Plan or the Term Sheet but not in this Agreement are to be considered “covenants” of such Parties, and therefore covenants of this Agreement, notwithstanding the failure of any specific provision in the Approved Plan or the Term Sheet to be restated in this Agreement);

(b) The board of directors, board of managers, or such similar governing body of any Debtor reasonably determines in good faith after consultation with outside counsel that continued performance under this Agreement would be inconsistent with the exercise of its fiduciary duties under applicable law; provided, that the Debtors provide notice of such determination to the Commitment Parties within three (3) business days prior to the date of such termination; Agreement;

(c) The Requisite Commitment Parties give a notice of termination of this

(d) On the date that an order is entered by the Bankruptcy Court or a court of

competent jurisdiction denying confirmation of the Approved Plan or declining to approve the Disclosure Statement (in each case, unless caused by a default by any Debtor of its obligations hereunder, in which event the Debtors shall not have the right to terminate under this subsection); provided, that the Debtors shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.02(d) if the Bankruptcy Court declines to approve the Disclosure Statement or denies confirmation of the Approved Plan subject only to the making of ministerial or administrative modifications to the Approved Plan or Disclosure Statement; and

(e) The issuance by any governmental authority, including any regulatory authority or court of competent jurisdiction, of any final, non-appealable ruling, judgment or order enjoining the consummation of a material portion of the Restructuring Transactions, which ruling,

 

22


judgment or order has not been stayed, reversed or vacated within twenty (20) business days after such issuance.

9.03. Restructuring Document Termination Event. If any Party files a pleading seeking authority to amend, modify, or withdraw any of the Restructuring Documents (the “Filing Party”) without the prior written consent of the Plan Sponsors and Honeywell, solely to the extent the Additional Investors are adversely affected, the Requisite Additional Investors, and solely to the extent the economic treatment of the Prepetition Lenders, the Senior Noteholders, or the Consenting Equityholders is adversely affected, Requisite Consenting Lenders, the Requisite Consenting Noteholders, or the Requisite Consenting Equityholders, respectively, such Parties, as applicable, may, upon notice to the Filing Party, terminate the Filing Party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that the Filing Party shall have three (3) business days following such notice to withdraw such pleading.

9.04. Mutual Termination. This Agreement, and the obligations of all Parties hereunder, may be terminated by mutual agreement among the Debtors and the Requisite Commitment Parties.

9.05. Automatic Termination. This Agreement shall terminate automatically without any further required action or notice on the Effective Date.

9.06. Effect of Termination.

(a) No Party may terminate this Agreement if such Party failed to perform or comply in all material respects with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, with such failure to perform or comply causing, or resulting in, the occurrence of one or more termination events specified herein. The date on which termination of this Agreement is effective shall be referred to as a “Termination Date.”

(b) Upon the occurrence of a Termination Date as to a Party, this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect as to such Party and each Party subject to such termination shall be released from its commitments, undertakings, and agreements under or related to this Agreement and shall have the rights and remedies that it would have had, had it not entered into this Agreement, and shall be entitled to take all actions, whether with respect to the Restructuring Transactions or otherwise, that it would have been entitled to take had it not entered into this Agreement, including with respect to any and all claims or causes of action; provided that such termination shall not relieve any such Party from any liability arising prior to termination. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Date prior to the Confirmation Order being entered by a Bankruptcy Court, any and all consents or ballots tendered by the Parties subject to such termination before a Termination Date shall be deemed, for all purposes, to be null and void from the first instance and shall not be considered or otherwise used in any manner by the Parties in connection with the Restructuring Transactions and this Agreement or otherwise; provided, however, any Commitment Party withdrawing or changing its vote pursuant to this Section 9.06(b) shall promptly provide written notice of such withdrawal or change to each other Party to this Agreement and file notice of such withdrawal or change with the Bankruptcy Court. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as prohibiting a Debtor or any of the Commitment Parties from contesting whether any such termination is in accordance with its terms or to seek enforcement of

 

23


any rights under this Agreement that arose or existed before a Termination Date. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing herein is intended to, or does, in any manner waive, limit, impair, or restrict (a) any right of any Debtor or the ability of any Debtor to protect and reserve its rights (including rights under this Agreement), remedies, and interests, including its claims against any Commitment Party and (b) any right of any Commitment Party, or the ability of any Commitment Party, to protect and preserve its rights (including rights under this Agreement), remedies, and interests, including its claims against any Debtor or Commitment Party. No purported termination of this Agreement shall be effective under this Section 9.06(b) or otherwise if the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement is in material breach of this Agreement, except a termination pursuant to Section 9.02(b) or Section 9.02(e).

9.07. Automatic Stay. The Debtors acknowledge that the giving of notice of termination by any Party pursuant to this Agreement nor compliance with any provision hereto shall not be a violation of the automatic stay of section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code; provided, that nothing herein shall prejudice any Party’s rights to argue that the giving of notice of termination was not proper under the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless and until there is an unstayed order of the Bankruptcy Court providing that the giving of notice under and/or termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms is not prohibited by the automatic stay imposed by section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, the occurrence of any termination event in this Section 9 requiring notice to be provided to the Debtors shall result in an automatic termination of this Agreement without providing such notice, to the extent any Commitment Party would otherwise have the ability to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 9, three (3) business days following such occurrence unless waived in writing (email being sufficient) by Honeywell and the Plan Sponsors.

Section 10. Amendments.

(a) This Agreement, including the Term Sheet, may not be modified, amended, or supplemented in any manner except as consented to (in writing, with email being sufficient) signed by (i) the Debtors, the Plan Sponsors, and Honeywell, (ii) solely to the extent such modification, amendment, or supplement adversely affects the Additional Investors, the Requisite Additional Investors, (iii) solely to the extent such modification, amendment, or supplement adversely affects the economic treatment of the Prepetition Lenders, the Requisite Consenting Lenders, (iv) solely to the extent such modification, amendment, or supplement adversely affects the economic treatment of the Senior Noteholders, the Requisite Consenting Noteholders, and (v) solely to the extent such modification, amendment, or supplement adversely affects the economic treatment of the Consenting Equityholders, the Requisite Consenting Equityholders.

11.03. Further Assurances. Subject to the other terms of this Agreement, the Parties agree to execute and deliver such other instruments and perform such acts, in addition to the matters herein specified, as may be reasonably appropriate or necessary, or as may be required by order of the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the Approved Plan, from time to time, to effectuate the Restructuring Transactions, as applicable.

11.13. Survival. Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9, the agreements and obligations of the Parties in this Section 11.13 and Sections 6(f), 9.06, 10, 11.02, 11.04, 11.06, 11.07, 11.08, 11.09, 11.10, 11.12, 11.13, 11.14, 11.15, 11.16, 11.17, 11.18, 11.19, and 11.20 shall survive any such termination.

11.14. Independent Analysis. Each Party hereby confirms that its decision to execute this Agreement has been based upon its independent assessment of documents and information available to it, as it has deemed appropriate.

11.15. Waiver. If the Restructuring Transactions are not consummated, or if this Agreement is terminated for any reason, the Parties fully reserve any and all of their rights. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408 and any other applicable rules of evidence, this Agreement and all negotiations relating hereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than a proceeding to enforce its terms, pursue the consummation of the Restructuring Transactions or the payment of damages to which a Party may be entitled under this Agreement.

11.16. Relationship Among Parties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the duties and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall be several, not joint, (ii) no Party shall have any responsibility by virtue of this Agreement for any trading by any other entity; (iii) no prior history, pattern, or practice of sharing confidences among or between the Parties shall in any way affect or negate this Agreement; (iv) the Parties hereto acknowledge that this agreement does not constitute an agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to acting together for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of any equity securities of the Debtors and the Parties do not constitute a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); (v) none of the Parties shall have any fiduciary duty, any duty of trust or confidence in any form, or other duties or responsibilities in any kind or form to each other, including as a result of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein or in the Term Sheet; and (vi) no action taken by any Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute or to create a presumption by any of the Parties that the Parties are in any way acting in concert or as such a “group.”

11.17. Specific Performance. It is understood and agreed by the Parties that money damages would be an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by any Party and each non-breaching Party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief (without the posting of any bond and without proof of actual damages) as a remedy of any such breach, including an order of a court of competent jurisdiction requiring any Party to comply promptly with any of its obligations hereunder. All rights, powers, and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative and

 

29


not alternative, and the exercise of any right, power, or remedy thereof by any Party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power, or remedy by such Party or any other Party.

11.20. Reporting of Debtor Claims. The Parties agree and acknowledge that the reported amount of the Debtor Claims reflected in each Commitment Party signature block does not necessarily reflect the full amount of such Commitment Party Debtor Claims (including, without limitation, principal, accrued and unpaid interest, makewhole, fees and expenses) and any disclosure made on any Commitment Party signature block shall be without prejudice to any subsequent assertion by or on behalf of such Commitment Party of the full amount of its Debtor Claims.

11.21. Remedies Cumulative. All rights, powers, and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise of any right, power, or remedy thereof by any Party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power, or remedy by such Party.

11.22. Claim Resolution Matters. Prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors shall not enter into any agreements with holders of claims (as defined in the Bankruptcy Code) other than as contemplated in this Agreement, relating to the allowance, estimation, validity, extent, or priority of such claims, or the treatment and classification of such claims under the Approved Plan without the prior written consent of Honeywell and the Plan Sponsors, except with respect to (a) claims which the Debtors are authorized to resolve or pay pursuant to any applicable first day orders or (b) claims as otherwise contemplated herein.

11.23. Settlement Discussions. This Agreement is part of a proposed settlement of matters that could otherwise be the subject of litigation among the Parties.

TERM SHEET


IN RE: GARRETT MOTION INC., et al.

Restructuring Term Sheet

This term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) sets forth a summary of the principal terms of the Approved Plan (hereinafter, the “Plan”).1 The transactions contemplated in this Term Sheet are subject in all respects to the negotiation, execution, and delivery of definitive documentation.

Until publicly disclosed with the prior written consent of Honeywell and the Plan Sponsors, this Term Sheet and the information contained herein is strictly confidential and may not be shared with any person other than in accordance with section 11.02 of the Coordination Agreement; provided that Honeywell and the Plan Sponsors, with the consent of the Requisite Additional Investors (which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), may mutually agree to submit this Term Sheet and corresponding Plan as a joint bid in connection with the Debtors’ sale process and/or otherwise propose this Term Sheet and corresponding Plan to the Debtors.

THE COORDINATION AGREEMENT AND THIS TERM SHEET ARE BEING ENTERED INTO IN ANTICIPATION OF SUBMITTING AN ALTERNATIVE PLAN PROPOSAL FOR A PLAN OF REORGANIZATION TO THE DEBTORS. THIS TERM SHEET DOES NOT CONSTITUTE (NOR SHALL IT BE CONSTRUED AS) AN OFFER WITH RESPECT TO ANY SECURITIES OR A SOLICITATION OF ACCEPTANCES OR REJECTIONS AS TO ANY PLAN, IT BEING UNDERSTOOD THAT SUCH A SOLICITATION, IF ANY, ONLY WILL BE MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF ALL APPLICABLE LAW. THIS TERM SHEET DOES NOT ADDRESS ALL TERMS THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY POTENTIAL TRANSACTIONS REFERENCED HEREIN AND THE ENTRY INTO OR THE CREATION OF ANY BINDING AGREEMENT IS SUBJECT TO THE EXECUTION OF DEFINITIVE DOCUMENTATION. THIS TERM SHEET HAS BEEN PRODUCED FOR DISCUSSION AND SETTLEMENT PURPOSES ONLY AND IS SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF RULE 408 OF THE FEDERAL RULES OF EVIDENCE AND ANY OTHER APPLICABLE STATE OR FEDERAL RULES OR DOCTRINES PROTECTING THE USE OR DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION EXCHANGED IN THE CONTEXT OF SETTLEMENT DISCUSSIONS. THIS TERM SHEET INCORPORATES THE RULES OF CONSTRUCTION SET FORTH IN SECTION 102 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE. NOTHING IN THIS TERM SHEET SHALL BE DEEMED AN ADMISSION OF FACT OR LIABILITY BY ANY OF THE PARTIES.

 

GENERAL PROVISIONS REGARDING THE RESTRUCTURING
Initial Parties to Term Sheet   

(a)   Honeywell;

 

(b)   Oaktree; and

 

(c)   Centerbridge.

DIP Facility    The Plan Sponsors shall offer to provide a DIP Facility in a principal amount of up to $250 million, on terms set forth in a new DIP Credit Agreement and DIP Documents, to refinance the debtor in possession financing facility which is currently outstanding with respect to the Debtors.

 

1 

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in Annex 1 attached hereto or the Coordination Agreement (the “Coordination Agreement”), to which this Term Sheet is attached as Exhibit A.


Convertible Series A Preferred Stock   

Reorganized Garrett shall issue shares of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock at a purchase price of up to approximately $1,150 million in the aggregate in cash on the following terms and conditions:

 

•  Dividend. 12% per annum. Payable in cash or PIK at the option of reorganized Garrett.

 

•  Conversion. Each holder will have the right to convert its shares of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock into common stock of reorganized Garrett, based on a conversion price of $3.50 per common share. All outstanding Convertible Series A Preferred Stock shall convert into common stock of reorganized Garrett with the approval of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock. The common stock issued upon such conversion shall be registered on a resale registration statement.

 

•  Ranking. Senior liquidation and distribution rights with respect to all other preferred stock and common stock of reorganized Garrett. For the avoidance of doubt, in a sale, liquidation, or similar event, if not previously converted, the holders of shares of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to an amount equal to the greater of (i) the liquidation preference of such stock plus an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends thereunder, whether or not previously declared, and (ii) the amount the Convertible Series A Preferred Stock would receive if such shares converted immediately before such event into common stock of reorganized Garrett pursuant to the conversion right specified above. Following the issue date, no preferred shares or equity securities ranking pari passu with or senior to the Convertible Series A Preferred Stock may be issued by the Reorganized Debtors without the consent of (x) holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock and (y) holders of the Series B Preferred Stock.

 

•  Voting. The Convertible Series A Preferred Stock will vote on all matters before holders of common stock in reorganized Garrett as a single class with such holders of common stock on an as-converted basis.

 

•  Maturity. Perpetual.

 

•  Liquidation Preference. The Convertible Series A Preferred Stock shall have a liquidation preference equal to $1 per share.

 

•  Redemption. The Convertible Series A Preferred Stock will not be redeemable by the Reorganized Debtors, except that in connection with a transaction resulting in the transfer to a non-affiliate of (a) 50.01% or more of the total voting power of reorganized Garrett or (b) all or substantially all of the assets of the Reorganized Debtors (a “Change of Control”), reorganized Garrett may redeem any Convertible Series A Preferred Stock

 

2


  

not converted into common stock of reorganized Garrett for an amount equal to the liquidation preference plus the amount of any dividends that have accrued and not been paid in cash.

 

•  Financial Covenant. The Reorganized Debtors will not be able to incur debt that would result in leverage of greater than 3x the Reorganized Debtors’ annual adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis, without the approval of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock.

 

•  New Money Investors. The Plan Sponsors and the Additional Investors shall commit, severally and not jointly, to purchase shares of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock at a purchase price of approximately $1,050 million in the aggregate in cash in accordance with the allocation annex attached hereto as Annex 2.

 

•  Rights Offering. Further, reorganized Garrett shall conduct a rights offering without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in which all holders of common stock of Garrett shall receive subscription rights to purchase (subject to compliance with all applicable securities laws) additional shares of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock at a purchase price of up to $100 million in the aggregate in cash (with such maximum aggregate purchase price calculated as though all subscription rights are exercised).

 

•  Consent Rights. The Plan Sponsors may not modify any of the foregoing terms or conditions, unless (i) Honeywell and the Requisite Additional Investors consent or (ii) such modification does not adversely affect the economic treatment of Honeywell or adversely affect the Additional Investors as provided herein. The Convertible Series A Preferred Stock and the issuance of such securities shall otherwise be on terms and conditions that are acceptable to the Plan Sponsors with the consent of Honeywell and the Requisite Additional Investors (in each case, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed). Following the issue date, any amendment, waiver, or modification of any term or condition of the Convertible Series A Preferred Stock shall require the consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of such stock.

Pro Forma Capital Structure    The Plan shall provide for the recapitalization of the reorganized Debtors (the “Reorganized Debtors”) on the effective date of the Plan (the “Effective Date”).

Exemption from SEC Registration   

The issuance of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock will be exempt from registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Garrett shall take such steps as are reasonably necessary to maintain the listing of its common stock on a national exchange.

Releases, Exculpation, and Injunction    The Plan shall contain release, exculpation, and injunction provisions that are mutually acceptable to Honeywell, the Plan Sponsors, and the Requisite Additional Investors.
Termination of Indemnification Agreements and the Tax Matters Agreement    The Indemnification Agreements and the Tax Matters Agreement shall be terminated as of the Effective Date, and the Reorganized Debtors’ obligations to Honeywell following the Effective Date shall be limited to those specified in this Term Sheet.
Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases    The Plan will provide that the executory contracts and unexpired leases that are not rejected as of the Effective Date (either pursuant to the Plan or a separate motion) will be deemed assumed pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. No executory contract or unexpired lease shall be assumed or rejected without the written consent of the Plan Sponsors. For the avoidance of doubt, cure costs may be paid in installments following the Effective Date in a manner consistent with the Bankruptcy Code.
Tax Issues    The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to structure the Restructuring Transactions in a tax-efficient manner.
Governance of the Reorganized Debtors    The board of directors (the “New Board”) of reorganized Garrett will be seven (7) members, subject to increase with the consent of Honeywell (solely until the Repayment Date) and a majority of the outstanding shares of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock. The composition of the New Board shall be determined as follows:

•  The Additional Investors shall have the right to nominate one (1) board member (the “Additional Investors Director”) to the New Board, provided that, if the Additional Investors cease to collectively hold a number of shares of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock that is less than 60% of the number of shares of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock held by such investors on the issuance date, the Additional Investors Director shall resign, the Additional Investors shall have no further right to nominate any directors to the New Board, but, so long as 20% of the number of outstanding shares of Convertible Series A Preferred is owned by entities other than Centerbridge or Oaktree, the then-current holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock, excluding any Convertible Series A Preferred Stock owned by Centerbridge and Oaktree, shall have the right to nominate a board member to the New Board to replace the Additional Investors Director.

 

•  One (1) board member will be a member of reorganized Garrett’s executive management team.

 

•  Half of the balance of the New Board nominees shall be selected by Centerbridge, for so long as Centerbridge holds a number of shares of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock that is no less than 60% of the number of shares of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock held by Centerbridge on the issuance date, with the number of nominees selected by Centerbridge subject to proportionate reduction as its ownership of the Convertible Series A Preferred Stock further decreases.

 

•  The other half of the balance of the New Board nominees shall be selected by Oaktree, for so long as Oaktree holds a number of shares of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock that is no less than 60% of the number of shares of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock held by Oaktree on the issuance date, with the number of nominees selected by Oaktree subject to proportionate reduction as its ownership of the Convertible Series A Preferred Stock further decreases.

Management Incentive Plan    The details of any post-Effective Date management incentive plan, including with respect to amount, form, structure, and vesting, shall be determined by the New Board taking into consideration then-current market practices for similarly situated companies.
Definitive Documentation    The Parties shall negotiate the definitive documents necessary to complete the Restructuring Transactions in good faith and work in good faith to secure support for the Approved Plan by the Debtors. Any and all documentation necessary to

 

9


   effectuate the Restructuring Transactions, including the definitive documents, shall be in form and substance consistent with this Term Sheet and the Coordination Agreement. All consent rights not otherwise set forth herein shall be set forth in the Coordination Agreement.
Conditions Precedent to Plan Effective Date   

The occurrence of the Plan Effective Date shall be subject to conditions precedent that are reasonably acceptable to the Initial Parties and the Debtors, including:

 

•  the Bankruptcy Court shall have entered an order confirming the Plan, in form and substance consistent with the Coordination Agreement, and such order shall not have been stayed, modified, or vacated on appeal;

 

•  the final version of the Plan supplement and all of the schedules, documents, and exhibits contained therein, and all other schedules, documents, supplements and exhibits to the Plan, shall have been filed;

 

•  the Coordination Agreement shall not have been terminated between Honeywell, the Plan Sponsors, and the Additional Investors, and shall remain in full force and effect;

 

•  the Debtors shall have obtained all authorizations, consents, regulatory approvals, rulings, or documents that are necessary to implement and effectuate the Plan;

 

•  all fees, expenses, and other amounts payable to the Parties under the Coordination Agreement shall have been paid in full; and

 

•  the Debtors shall have implemented the Restructuring Transactions in a manner consistent with the Plan and the Coordination Agreement.

Reservation of Rights    Nothing herein is an admission of any kind. If the Restructuring Transactions are not consummated for any reason, all Parties reserve any and all of their respective rights.
Retention of Jurisdiction    The Plan will provide that the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction for usual and customary matters.
Governing Law    The governing law for all applicable documentation (other than any corporate governance documents) shall be the internal law of the State of New York (without regard to its conflict of law principles) and, to the extent applicable, the Bankruptcy Code.
