On September 20, 2020, the Issuer and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) each filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (“the Court”). On December 10, 2020, in accordance with section 363 of title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and the Court’s Order (A) Authorizing and Approving Bid Procedures, (B) Authorizing and Approving The Stalking Horse Bid Protections, (C) Scheduling a Sale Hearing, (D) Approving Notice Procedures, and (E) Granting Other Relief [Case No. 20-12212, ECF No. 282] and the bidding procedures annexed thereto, counsel to Cetus VI, Owl Creek Asset Management L.P., Warlander Asset Management, L.P., Jefferies LLC, Bardin Hill Opportunistic Credit Master Fund LP, and Marathon Asset Management L.P. (collectively, the “Investors”) submitted a letter (the “Bid Letter”) detailing the terms of a proposal for the going concern financial restructuring of the Debtors on the terms and subject to the conditions outlined in that letter (the “Proposed Transaction”). The Proposed Transaction, which is outlined in the Bid Letter and the attached term sheet (such term sheet referred to herein as the “Term Sheet”), remains subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive documentation, an order by the Bankruptcy Court, and other conditions.

The Proposed Transaction would provide for the reorganization of the Debtors and the recapitalization of the Issuer (as reorganized, “New GMI”), and would be funded by the incurrence and issuance respectively of:

•

$1.2 billion of new debt financing currently proposed to be provided by Jefferies Finance LLC, an affiliate of Jefferies LLC, to New GMI; and

•

$735 million of a new class of Series A Preferred Stock of New GMI.

The capital stock of New GMI would consist only of (i) reinstated shares of Common Stock, (ii) $735 million of Series A Preferred Stock consisting of (A) $700 million of Series A Preferred Stock issued to holders (as may be limited pursuant to applicable securities laws and regulations) of existing shares of Common Stock pursuant to a rights offering, in exchange for cash compensation, which rights offering would be fully backstopped by the Investors, and (B) $35 million of Series A Preferred Stock issued as a commitment fee to the Investors, as consideration for the backstop obligations, and (iii) if applicable, Common Stock or issued shares of a new class of Series B Preferred Stock to be issued to holders of Honeywell Spin-Off Claims (as defined in the Term Sheet) pursuant to the terms set forth in the Term Sheet. Each holder of a Honeywell Spin-Off Claim would receive, at the option of the Debtors in consultation with the Investors: (a) Series B Preferred Stock; (b) cash; (c) shares of Common Stock of New GMI (subject to the terms of the Term Sheet); or (d) such other treatment permitted under the Bankruptcy Code (subject in the case of either clause (b) or clause (d) above to the consent of those Investors holding at least 75% percent in aggregate amount of the Backstop Commitments (as defined in the Term Sheet) of all Investors).

CUSIP No. 366505 105

Under the Proposed Transaction, the Board of Directors of New GMI would consist of the Chief Executive Officer, three independent directors nominated by New GMI, three independent directors, one each nominated by Owl Creek Asset Management L.P., Warlander Asset Management, L.P. and Jefferies LLC, one independent director with relevant industry experience nominated by the committee of equity holders and approved by New GMI and those Investors holding at least 70% percent in aggregate amount of the Backstop Commitments (as defined in the Term Sheet) of all Investors (the “Requisite Backstop Parties”), and one director nominated by the Issuer and approved by the Requisite Backstop Parties. Other terms for the governance of New GMI are detailed in Exhibit D to the Bid Letter, and other operational restrictions on New GMI—are detailed in that exhibit.

The terms of the Proposed Transaction are subject to the terms and conditions included therein, as well as negotiation with, and approval by, the Issuer, and by approval and Confirmation Order of the Bankruptcy Court and approval of appropriate regulatory authorities. The obligations of the Investors to consummate the Proposed Transaction will terminate if the closing of the Proposed Transaction does not occur on or prior to May 10, 2021. The termination date may be extended up to and including June 10, 2021, at the sole option and discretion of the Issuer, if material regulatory approvals have not been received, and it may be further extended upon the agreement of the Investors and the Issuer. In all circumstances and at any time after the parties enter into a Backstop Commitment Agreement (as defined in the Term Sheet or the Backstop Commitment Agreement), if the Set-Up Value (as defined in the Term Sheet or Backstop Commitment Agreement) is less than $835 million, the Investors shall have the right to terminate the Backstop Commitment Agreement and the Proposed Transaction.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Bid Letter and the attached Term Sheet, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and incorporated herein by reference.

The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and, subject to obligations under the bankruptcy proceedings and under any agreements that it enters into in connection with the Proposed Transaction, and depending upon the price of and other market conditions relating to the Common Stock, developments affecting the Issuer and the Chapter 11 case and other factors deemed relevant, the Reporting Persons may increase or decrease the size of their investment in the Issuer, pursue changes in the composition of the Issuer’s Board of Directors or propose or take one or more other actions that relate to or would result in any matter referred in items (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, alone or with others. The Reporting Persons reserve the right, to act independently and without respect to the other Investors, to change their plans or proposals at any time, and to take any action as they deem appropriate, either alone or with others, in their sole discretion at any time, including with respect to any matter set forth in items (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

The percentages used in this Schedule 13D are calculated based upon 75,788,279 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 26, 2020, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 2, 2020.

The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that the Reporting Persons are, for purposes of the Exchange Act, the beneficial owners of any of the securities reported herein or that they are members of a “group.” The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim the existence of, or membership in a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act and Rule 13d-5(b) thereunder with any of the other Investors, as well as beneficial ownership with respect to any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the other Investors, and neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by any Reporting Person that it is the beneficial owner of any of the shares of common stock referred to herein for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act, or for any other purpose.

(c) The transactions in the shares of Common Stock by the Reporting Persons within the past sixty days are set forth in Schedule A, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Re:	Garrett Motion Inc., et al. (collectively, the “Company”)

To Whom It May Concern:

In accordance with section 363 of title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code and the Order (A) Authorizing and Approving Bid Procedures, (B) Authorizing and Approving The Stalking Horse Bid Protections, (C) Scheduling a Sale Hearing, (D) Approving Notice Procedures, and (E) Granting Other Relief [Case No. 20-12212, ECF No. 282] (the “Bidding Procedures Order”) and the bidding procedures annexed thereto (the “Bidding Procedures”), and in furtherance of the letter, dated November 20, 2020, expressing an indication of interest, on behalf of Owl Creek Asset Management, L.P., Warlander Asset Management, L.P., Jefferies LLC, Bardin Hill Opportunistic Credit Master Fund LP, Marathon Asset Management L.P., and Cetus Capital VI, L.P. or the affiliates thereof (collectively, the “Investor Group”) we hereby submit this bid letter detailing the terms of a bid for the going concern financial restructuring of the Company and related debtor entities (collectively, the “Debtors”) on the terms and subject to the conditions outlined herein (the “Proposed Transaction”). In accordance with prior discussions between the Debtors, the Investor Group and their respective financial and legal advisors, the following remains subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive documentation (the “Definitive Documentation”) regarding the transactions contemplated by the Term Sheet, as defined below. Notwithstanding the submission of this letter and the exhibits annexed hereto, the Investor Group shall continue its efforts to address comments and suggestions of the Debtors and the Official Committee of Equity Interest Holders in an effort to build a consensus and draw support from the true stakeholders in these chapter 11 cases.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given thereto in the Bidding Procedures or in the term sheet annexed hereto as Annex A (the “Term Sheet”). In the event of any conflict between the terms set forth in this bid letter and the Term Sheet relating to the definition of a term used herein or therein, the Term Sheet shall govern.

Transaction Overview

The Investor Group submits this Bid (as defined below) in connection with the Proposed Transaction and the reorganization of the Debtors pursuant to a plan under chapter 11 of title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Plan”) on the terms and subject to the conditions outlined herein, including, without limitation, the purchase of Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the provisions of section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. In doing so, the Proposed Transaction provides for the greatest and most democratic participation and recovery for the Debtors’ creditors and equity interest holders. Moreover, through the Rights Offering, wherein existing shareholders shall have the opportunity to participate in up to eighty percent (80%) of the Series A Preferred Stock being offered, and the retention of equity interests by the GMI’s existing shareholders, it permits common stock shareholders to join with the Debtors and their management and share in the continuing overall growth of the Debtors’ businesses and opportunities.

Specifically, pursuant to the Proposed Transaction, the Investor Group proposes a Plan that provides for the reorganization of GMI and its Debtors subsidiaries (the “Reorganized Debtors”) and the recapitalization of GMI (as reorganized, “New GMI”). The Plan will be funded by the incurrence and issuance respectively of:

•

$1.2 billion of new debt financing; and

•

$735 million of a new class of Series A Preferred Stock

The capital stock of New GMI on the Effective Date shall consist only of reinstated shares of Common Stock and $735 million in initial liquidation preference of Series A Preferred Stock issued to holders (as may be limited pursuant to applicable securities laws and regulations) of Existing Shares pursuant to the Rights Offering, consisting of $700 million of Series A Preferred Stock issued for cash and $35 million issued as payment of a commitment fee to the Investor Group (the “Commitment Fee”) pursuant to the terms of the Definitive Documentation. The issuance of Series A Preferred Stock will be fully backstopped by the Investor Group.

As noted above, the Company will distribute Subscription Rights to purchase Series A Preferred Stock for cash to holders (as may be limited pursuant to applicable securities laws and regulations) of Existing Shares pursuant to the solicitation of acceptances to the Plan. The Subscription Rights will allow the eligible holders thereof, on a record date to be determined, to purchase such number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that will be determined as a result of the allocation of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock based on the Set-Up Value. The Rights Offering will be sized to raise $700 million of gross proceeds to be funded on the Effective Date. The proceeds of the Rights Offering shall be applied by the Company to pay administrative Claims, make cash distributions under the Plan and for use of the Company’s working capital needs.

The holders of the Honeywell Spin-Off Claims shall receive, at the option of the Debtors in consultation with the Investor Group, either: (i) Series B Preferred Stock, or (ii) such other treatment permitted under the Bankruptcy Code and to which treatment the Backstop Parties have given their prior approval. The amount of the Honeywell Spin-Off Claims shall be the least of the following: (i) the allowed Honeywell Spin-Off Claims, (ii) the ASASCO Residual Value, and (iii) a stipulated amount agreed by such holders and the Debtors. The Series B Preferred Stock and the obligations arising thereunder have been structured in such a manner to ensure sufficient cash flow to and the long term viability and success of the Company.

I.	Treatment of Assets and Liabilities

The Investor Group proposes to (i) reorganize the Debtors in the manner specified in the Term Sheet and the Definitive Documentation, and (ii) undertake the recapitalization of GMI as outlined therein. The assets and liabilities of each Reorganized Debtor will remain with such Reorganized Debtor and be treated in accordance with the terms and conditions of a confirmed chapter 11 plan, with no assignment or assumption of the foregoing by the Investor Group being required.

II.

Consideration for the Proposed Transaction

In accordance with paragraph 4 of the Bidding Procedures Order, the Investor Group hereby submits a binding, definitive and completed bid (the “Bid”) which provides that, upon the closing of the Proposed Transaction, the aggregate consideration shall consist of the proposed recapitalization of the Reorganized Debtors on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Term Sheet and the Definitive Documentation. As agreed with the Debtors, since the primary consideration in connection with this Bid is the commitment of the Investor Group to backstop the Rights Offering and the obtainment of the proposed Debt Financing, this letter is not accompanied by a cash deposit as required by Bidding Procedures paragraph 2(c)(ii). It must be noted that the Investor Group, the Debtors and their respective representatives have discussed the status of Debt Financing and have agreed that certain elements of the necessary Debt Financing may be subject to their best efforts following the completion of the Auction and the designation of the Investor Group as the Successful Bidder.

In accordance with paragraph 2(c)(iii) of the Bidding Procedures Order, the Investor Group confirms that no outside financing will be required in connection with the commitment to fund the purchase of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the Bid. Each of the Investor Group members are financial institutions or funds with significant amounts of assets under management and available for funding the Proposed Transaction. Financial information regarding each member is publicly available or will be provided to the Debtors and their advisors upon reasonable request. The distribution of the Backstop Commitment among the Investor Group members will be provided following the Auction as discussed with the Debtors’ legal and financial advisors.

III.

Irrevocability of Investor Group Bid

The Bid shall remain open and be irrevocable and binding until the selection of the Successful Bid in accordance with paragraph 2(c)(i) of the Bidding Procedures, as applicable. If the Bid is selected as the Successful Bid or Alternate Bid, the Bid, as it may be amended or supplemented prior to or at the Auction, shall remain irrevocable until the Debtors’ consummation of a sale, restructuring, or other definitive transaction with the Successful Bidder.

IV.

Representation and Confirmations

The Bid is not conditioned on unperformed due diligence, obtaining equity financing or any internal approval, and contains only those contingencies and termination rights set forth in the Term Sheet and that will be set forth in the Definitive Documentation.

The Bid has been authorized by all necessary and applicable governing bodies with respect to the submission, execution, delivery, irrevocability and consummation of this Bid and any Subsequent Bid(s), and related Transaction Documents, subject to finalization of the Definitive Documentation. If the Investor Group Bid, as it may be amended or supplemented prior to or at the Auction, is selected as the Successful Bid, all regulatory filings necessary under applicable law in connection with the Proposed Transaction, set forth on Exhibit A, will be made, and the Investor Group will pay all its fees and expenses associated therewith, with the Debtors satisfying, to the extent applicable, their respective obligations in connection with such approvals and processes. This Bid constitutes a good faith, bona fide offer to effectuate the Proposed Transaction.

As set forth on Exhibit B hereto, the members of the Investor Group serve as managers or advisors with respect to accounts or funds under management. Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock purchased by or issued to the members of the Investor Group shall be distributed among such members, and, to the extent appropriate, their respective partners, limited partners and investors, in accordance with the provisions of the Term Sheet and the Definitive Documentation.

The Investor Group hereby consents to the jurisdiction of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”), agrees to be bound by the Bidding Procedures Order and is willing to serve as the alternate bidder. The Investor Group waives all right to a jury trial in connection with any disputes relating to the Auction and the construction and enforcement of the Bid Procedures.

3.	Plan of Reorganization:	The transactions contemplated by the Agreement shall be implemented pursuant to a plan of reorganization (the “Plan”), as further described in Exhibit B hereto.

		On the date of the closing of the contemplated transactions (the “Effective Date”), the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company shall consist of shares of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”), shares of series A preferred stock of the Company having the terms set forth in the Plan (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and shares of series B preferred stock of the Company having the terms set forth in the Plan (the “Series B Preferred Stock”).

4.	Subscription for Series A Preferred Stock:	On the terms and subject to the conditions described herein and to be reflected in definitive documentation (the “Definitive Documentation”), including, without limitation, the satisfaction of all conditions precedent with respect thereto, each Backstop Party shall purchase, on a several and not joint basis, and the Company shall sell to each such Backstop Party its agreed upon percentage (each, a “Commitment Percentage”), the Subscribed Series A Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $140,000,000.

		“Subscribed Series A Shares” means a number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock equal to 20% of the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be issued pursuant to the Plan (excluding the Premium Series A Shares).

5.	Rights Offering for Series A Preferred Stock:	In connection with the solicitation of acceptances to the Plan, the Company shall conduct a rights offering with respect to the Offered Series A Shares on the terms and conditions set forth on Exhibit C hereto (the “Rights Offering”).

		“Offered Series A Shares” means a number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock equal to 80% of the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be issued pursuant to the Plan (excluding, for purposes of calculation, the Premium Series A Shares).

6.	Participation in the Rights Offering:	Subject to the terms and conditions described herein, including, without limitation, the satisfaction of all conditions precedent with respect thereto, each Backstop Party shall exercise all Subscription Rights issued to it pursuant to the Rights Offering.


7.	Backstop Commitment:	At the sole unilateral option of the Company, each Backstop Party shall be required by the Company to purchase, on a several and not joint basis (the “Backstop Option”), and the Company shall sell to such Backstop Party, based on its Commitment Percentage, the Offered Series A Shares that are not purchased as part of the Rights Offering (the “Backstop Series A Shares”, and together with the Subscribed Series A Shares, the “Purchased Series A Shares”) for a purchase price of $560,000,000, as reduced by the amount of Offered Series A Shares that are purchased as part of the Rights Offering (the “Backstop Commitment”).

8.	Commitment Premium:	In exchange for granting the Backstop Option to the Company, each of the Backstop Parties shall be entitled to receive, and the Company shall pay the Commitment Premium to each Backstop Party on the Effective Date in such number of Series A Shares (the “Premium Series A Shares”) equal to the Commitment Premium divided by the per-share price of the Offered Series A Shares in the Rights Offering.

		“Commitment Premium” means, with respect to any Backstop Party, an amount equal to $35,000,000 multiplied by such Backstop Party’s Commitment Percentage.

9.	Funding Procedures:	No later than five (5) business days following the Subscription Expiration Time, as defined below, the Company shall deliver a written notice to each Backstop Party of: (i) the number of Offered Series A Shares elected to be purchased and the aggregate purchase price therefor; (ii) the aggregate number of unsubscribed Offered Series A Shares, if any, and the aggregate purchase price therefor; (iii) the aggregate number of unsubscribed Offered Series A Shares based upon such Backstop Party’s Commitment Percentage to be issued and sold by the Company to such Backstop Party; (iv) the aggregate purchase price for the number of Purchased Series A Shares to be purchased by such Backstop Party (the “Funding Amount”); (v) wire instructions for a segregated account (the “Account”) established with an escrow agent or the rights offering agent in respect of the Rights Offering to which such Backstop Party shall deliver the Funding Amount; and (vi) the estimated deadline for delivery of the Funding Amount, which deadline shall be no earlier than eight (8) business days prior to the expected Effective Date, as such date may be extended in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 24 hereof (the “Funding Deadline”).

		On the Funding Deadline, each Backstop Party shall deliver and pay its applicable Funding Amount by wire transfer in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars into the Account; provided, however, that, if the Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms after such delivery, such funds shall be released to the Backstop Parties, together with all interest accrued thereon, if any, under the terms of the Agreement, promptly following such termination, but in no event later than one (1) business day thereafter. All interest accrued on the Funding Amounts, if any, under the terms of the Agreement shall be released to the Backstop Parties promptly following the Effective Date, but in no event later than one (1) business day thereafter.


10.	Backstop Party Default:	Any Backstop Party that fails to timely fund its Funding Amount by the Funding Deadline or to fully exercise all subscription rights held by it in the Rights Offering after written notice thereof and a two-day opportunity to cure (a “Defaulting Backstop Party”) shall be liable for the consequences of its breach and the Company shall have the right to seek money damages and/or specific performance upon the failure to timely fund by the Defaulting Backstop Party. Each Backstop Party that is not a Defaulting Backstop Party (each, a “Non-Defaulting Backstop Party”) shall have the right to assume the Adjusted Commitment Percentage (or such other proportion as agreed by the Non-Defaulting Backstop Parties) of such Defaulting Backstop Party’s Backstop Commitment. If the Non-Defaulting Backstop Parties do not exercise such rights to cure such breach, then the Company may require the Non-Defaulting Backstop Parties to purchase such number of Purchased Series A Shares in order to cure such breach; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall a Backstop Party be obligated to purchase a number of Purchased Series A Shares greater than such Backstop Party’s then-current Commitment Percentage multiplied by the aggregate number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be issued on the Effective Date.

		“Adjusted Commitment Percentage” means, with respect to any Non- Defaulting Backstop Party, a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the Commitment Percentage of such Non-Defaulting Backstop Party and the denominator of which is the aggregate Commitment Percentages of all Non-Defaulting Backstop Parties.

		Any Defaulting Backstop Party shall not be entitled to the Commitment Premium and the portion of the Commitment Premium otherwise payable to any Defaulting Backstop Party shall be paid pro rata to any Backstop Parties that assumed the Defaulting Backstop Party’s Backstop Commitment. All distributions of Series A Preferred Stock to a Defaulting Backstop Party, including any Offered Series A Shares and including on account of the Commitment Premium, shall be re-allocated contractually and turned over as liquidated damages (including any Commitment Premium) to those Non- Defaulting Backstop Parties that have subscribed for their Adjusted Commitment Percentages. The Company may set off any distributions to be made to any Defaulting Backstop Party in order to provide for the funding of such Defaulting Backstop Party’s Backstop Commitment.
