EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment No. 1”) to Schedule 13D amends and supplements the Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) filed by the Reporting Persons on December 21, 2020. Defined terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

Item 2. Identity and Background

Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is amended and restated as follows:

(a) This statement is filed by the entities and individuals listed below, all of whom together are referred to herein as the “Reporting Persons”:

(i) Cetus Capital VI, L.P. (“Cetus VI”), a Delaware limited partnership, whose general partner is Littlejohn Associates VI, L.L.C. (“LJA VI”), a Delaware limited liability company.

(ii) OFM II, L.P. (“OFM II”), a Delaware limited partnership, whose general partner is Littlejohn Opportunities GP II, LLC (“LJO GP”), a Delaware limited liability company.

(iii) Robert E. Davis, a United States citizen. Mr. Davis disclaims beneficial ownership of the reported shares.

(iv) Richard E. Maybaum, a United States citizen. Mr. Maybaum disclaims beneficial ownership of the reported shares.

(b) The address of the principal office of the Reporting Persons is 8 Sound Shore Drive, Suite 303, Greenwich, CT 06830.

(c) Cetus VI and OFM II are private investment vehicles engaged in investing in debt and equity instruments. The principal business of LJA VI is to act as the general partner of Cetus VI. The principal business of LJO GP is to act as the general partner of OFM II. Robert E. Davis and Richard E. Maybaum are the portfolio managers for Cetus VI, OFM II and other affiliated funds.

(d)-(e) During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons or, to their knowledge, any of the directors or executive officers of the Reporting Persons, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which such person was or is subject to a judgment, decree, or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

(f) See Item 2(a) above.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented as follows:

The Investors submitted an amended proposal to the Issuer on January 4, 2021, outlined in the attached letter to the Issuer dated the same date (the “Revised Bid Letter”), which modifies the terms of the attached proposed Backstop Commitment Agreement that had been executed by the Investors but which has not been executed by the Issuer (together with its exhibits and annexes, the “Proposed Backstop Commitment Agreement”). On January 5, 2021, the Investors further updated their amended proposal outlined in the attached letter to the Issuer dated that same date (the “Further Revised Bid Letter”). We refer to the proposal with all changes cumulative as of January 5, 2021 as the “Amended Proposal.” The Amended Proposal remains subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive documentation, including an updated Backstop Commitment Agreement, an order by the Bankruptcy Court and other conditions.


CUSIP No. 366505 105

 

The Amended Proposal 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:

 

   

$1.3 billion of new debt term financing arranged by the Debtors at emergence from bankruptcy to New GMI, with a possible increase up to a maximum amount of $1.5 billion; and

 

   

up to $630 million worth of shares of a new class of Series A Preferred Stock of New GMI (of which $30 million would be issued to satisfy the commitment fee referred to below).

The debt term financing and the offering of Series A Preferred Stock (excluding Series A Preferred Stock issued to satisfy the commitment fee referred to below) may not in the aggregate exceed $2 billion. Any increase in the debt term financing at emergence above $1.3 billion requires the approval of the Debtors and at least 75% of the Investors. The Debtors and the Investors will negotiate in good faith whether to allow up to $100 million raised by the debt financing and/or the offering of Series A Preferred Stock to be used on the effective date of the Chapter 11 plan in connection with the satisfaction of the Honeywell Spin-Off Claims in lieu of all or part of the Series B Preferred Stock that would otherwise be used for that purpose.

The Equity Committee (as defined in the Term Sheet) may continue to solicit a financing package in lieu of the Amended Proposal for a standalone Chapter 11 plan during the period up to January 25, 2021.

The capital stock of New GMI would consist only of: (i) reinstated shares of Common Stock; (ii) up to $600 million (and no less than $400 million) of Series A Preferred Stock issued to holders of existing shares of Common Stock (as may be limited pursuant to applicable securities laws and regulations) pursuant to a rights offering, in exchange for cash compensation, which rights offering would be fully backstopped by the Investors (which are entitled to a direct allocation of $140 million in Series A Preferred Stock even if the size of the rights offering is less than $600 million); (iii) $30 million of Series A Preferred Stock issued to the Investors to satisfy the commitment fee (which is earned immediately upon the date of conclusion of the auction relating to the Chapter 11 cases); (iv) warrants issued to the holders of existing shares of Common Stock for 6% of the Common Stock, with a four-year term and a strike price equal to 175% of the equity value under the confirmed bankruptcy plan; and (v) if applicable, Common Stock or shares of a new class of Series B Preferred Stock (with an annual dividend rate of 9.00% or less, or an annual dividend rate as otherwise approved by at least 75% of the Investors) to be issued to holders of Honeywell Spin-Off Claims if included in the Chapter 11 plan that is ultimately confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. The Amended Proposal also includes new metrics that would apply to the recovery of these claims. Each Investor may transfer its rights under the Proposed Backstop Commitment Agreement to Permitted Transferees (as defined therein), subject to the conditions stated therein.

The Amended Proposal is based upon a total enterprise value of New GMI at emergence of $2.765 billion. The Chapter 11 plan will determine the percentage allocation between Common Stock (including any Common Stock issued to holders of Honeywell Spin-Off Claims) and the Series A Preferred Stock, on a fully diluted basis, based on the Set-Up Equity Value calculation (as set forth in the term sheet (the “Updated Term Sheet”) attached as Annex C to the Proposed Backstop Commitment Agreement), but using in that calculation $2.765 billion (in lieu of $2.7 billion).


CUSIP No. 366505 105

 

The Proposed Backstop Commitment Agreement provides that New GMI would be unable to: (i) incur debt, except for drawdowns on its revolving credit facility for working capital needs up to a maximum of $350 million, if such incurrence would result in leverage greater than 2.5x of New GMI’s annual adjusted EBITDA; or (ii) call, retire, redeem or otherwise acquire any Series B Preferred Stock, or make any amortization payment on the Series B Preferred Stock, if any such incurrence would result in leverage greater than 2.5x of New GMI’s annual adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis; in the case of either (i) or (ii) above, without the approval of holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. New GMI, furthermore, would agree not to participate in any change of control transaction unless holders of Common Stock are entitled to at least the same per share consideration and otherwise receive the same terms and conditions as applicable to the Investors, with the exception of the cumulative liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock.

New GMI would enter into a registration rights agreement granting demand and piggy-back registration rights to the Investors and any holder of existing shares of Common Stock that purchases shares of Series A Preferred Stock equal to five percent (5%) or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted basis (after giving effect to conversion of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock) as of the closing of the transactions under the Proposed Backstop Commitment Agreement. Pursuant to such registration rights agreement, New GMI would agree to file a shelf registration statement for the resale of Common Stock.

The Proposed Backstop Commitment Agreement provides that each of Owl Creek Asset Management, L.P., Warlander Asset Management, L.P. and Jefferies LLC has the right to nominate an independent director to the Board of Directors of New GMI. Following the initial term of each such independent director, (i) each of Owl Creek Asset Management, L.P., Warlander Asset Management, L.P. and Jefferies LLC (or any other person that becomes a Backstop Party (as defined in the Backstop Commitment Agreement) to whom any such Investor assigns this right) that, together with its affiliates, holds 10% or more of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock collectively, shall be entitled to nominate an independent director for election to the Board of Directors of New GMI, and (ii) any Investor or other Backstop Party that, together with its affiliates, holds 5% or more of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock, collectively, shall be entitled to appoint an observer to the Board of Directors of New GMI.

Under certain circumstances specified in Section 8.3 of the Proposed Backstop Commitment Agreement, upon termination of the Proposed Backstop Commitment Agreement, the Issuer would be required to pay the Investors $30 million plus certain professional expenses that had not yet been reimbursed. The Investors are entitled to reimbursement of professional fees capped at $20 million under the Proposed Backstop Commitment Agreement. If the proposed transaction is not consummated and the definitive Backstop Commitment Agreement is terminated by the Investors, the Investors agree that the cash payment of an amount equal to the commitment fee noted above will be subordinated to the payment of allowed general unsecured creditor claims, including those claims held by Honeywell.

The terms of the Amended Proposal are on the terms and subject to the conditions included therein, as well as negotiation with, and approval by, the Issuer, and further subject to entry of the Confirmation Order of the Bankruptcy Court and approval of appropriate regulatory authorities. The obligations of the Investors to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Amended Proposal 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 prior to May 10, 2021, and the termination date may be further extended upon the agreement of the Investors and the Issuer.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Revised Bid Letter to the Issuer attached hereto as Exhibit 4, the Further Revised Bid Letter to the Issuer attached hereto as Exhibit 5, and the Proposed Backstop Commitment Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit 3, each of which are incorporated herein by reference; it being understood that the Proposed Backstop Commitment Agreement will be revised to reflect the terms of the Amended Proposal.

Section 2.9 Securities Law Matters.

(a)The Rights Offering shall be conducted, and the Subscribed Shares, the Offered Shares and the Premium Shares shall be offered and sold, without registration under the Securities Act in reliance on the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or the exemption provided in Regulation D under the Securities Act and shall be "restricted securities" (within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act) subject to certain transfer restrictions under the U.S. federal securities laws unless sold pursuant to an exemption or a registration statement.

Professional Expenses reimbursable pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall constitute allowed administrative expenses against each of the Debtors' estates under sections 503(b) and 507 of the Bankruptcy Code, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be otherwise deemed to be on a pari passu basis with all other administrative expenses of the Debtors' estate.

Section 2.11 Tax Treatment. Each of the Parties (i) agree to treat the Commitment Premium as an option premium payment in exchange for the issuance by the Backstop Parties to the Company of a put right with respect to the Backstop Shares, and (ii) shall file all Tax returns consistent with, and take no position inconsistent with, such treatment (whether in audits, Tax returns or otherwise) unless required to do so pursuant to a "determination" within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.

57

deemed to be in breach of this Agreement as a result thereof (including for any failure to seek an Order of the Bankruptcy Court to approve the First Funding Order).

(iii)the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 3.2(a) and

Section 3.2(b) shall be true and correct, subject only to de minimis exceptions, as of the Execution Date and as of the Closing as if made on and as of the Effective Date (except for such

60

representations and warranties that are made as of a specific date which shall speak only as of such date) (in the case of each of (i), (ii) and (iii), disregarding all materiality and "Material Adverse Effect" or similar qualifiers contained therein but giving effect to the lead in to Article III).

(b)Covenants. Each of the covenants and agreements of the Company to be performed on or prior to the Closing shall have been duly performed in all material respects.

(c)Material Adverse Effect. From the Execution Date, there shall not have occurred and be continuing as of the Effective Date any Material Adverse Effect.

(d)Certificate. The Backstop Parties shall have received a certificate, signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company and dated as of the Effective Date, to the effect that the conditions set forth in Section 7.2(a), Section 7.2(b), and Section 7.2(c) have been satisfied.

(a)Representations and Warranties. Each of the representations and warranties of the Backstop Parties contained in Article IV shall be true and correct as of the Execution Date and as of the Effective Date (except for such representations and warranties that are made as of a specific date which shall speak only as of such date), disregarding all materiality or similar qualifiers contained therein but giving effect to the lead in to Article IV, except where any failures of any such representations and warranties to be true and correct would not prevent or materially impair the ability of the Backstop Parties to consummate the Transaction.

(b)Covenants. Each of the covenants and agreements of the Backstop Parties to be performed on or prior to the Closing shall have been duly performed in all material respects; provided, however, that any funding default by a Defaulting Backstop Party shall not constitute a breach for purposes of this Section 7.3(b) to the extent that such Defaulting Backstop Party's

(c)Certificate. The Company shall have received a certificate, signed by a duly authorized officer of each of the Backstop Parties and dated as of the Effective Date, to the effect that the conditions set forth in Section 7.3(a) and Section 7.3(b) have been satisfied.

TERMINATION

Section 8.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a)by written agreement of the Requisite Backstop Parties and the Company;

(b)by either the Requisite Backstop Parties or the Company, by giving written notice of such termination to the other Party, if any Prohibition permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Transaction has become final and non-appealable so long as the reason for the Prohibition permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Transaction is not due to the terminating Party's material breach of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements under this Agreement;

(c)by either the Requisite Backstop Parties or the Company, by giving written notice of such termination to the other Party, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or prior to the Outside Date; provided, however, that if one or more of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 7.1(a) (HSR), Section 7.1(b) (Non-U.S. Antitrust Clearances) or Section 7.1(c) (No Prohibition) (as the result only of a Prohibition imposed by a Government Entity with jurisdiction over enforcement of any applicable Antitrust Laws) have not been satisfied or waived on or prior to such date but all other conditions to Closing set forth in Article VII have been satisfied or waived (except for those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, provided that such conditions would then be capable of being satisfied if the Closing were to take place on such date), then the Outside Date shall, at the option of the Company in its sole discretion, be extended to June 10, 2021, and such date, as so extended, shall be the "Outside Date"; and provided further, that (x) the Requisite Backstop Parties shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) if any Backstop Party is then in breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement under this Agreement, such that Section 7.3(a) and/or Section 7.3(b) (as applicable) would not be satisfied and (y) the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) if the Company is then in breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement under this Agreement, such that Section 7.2(a) and/or Section 7.2(b) (as applicable) would not be satisfied;

(d)subject to the right of the Non-Defaulting Backstop Parties to arrange a replacement of a Defaulted Commitment in accordance with Section 2.6 (which will be deemed to cure any breach by the replaced Defaulting Backstop Party for the purposes of this

Section 8.1(d)), by the Company, by giving written notice of such termination to the Backstop Parties, if there has been a breach by any Backstop Party of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by such Backstop Party in this Agreement, such that Section 7.3(a) and/or Section 7.3(b) (as applicable) would not be satisfied and such breach or condition is not curable or, if curable, is not cured within the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days after written notice thereof is given by the Company to the Backstop Parties and (ii) the Outside Date; provided, however, the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) if the Company is then in breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement such that Section 7.2(a) and/or Section 7.2(b) (as applicable) would not be satisfied (for this purpose, disregarding any cure periods contained therein);

62

(e)by the Requisite Backstop Parties, by giving written notice of such termination to the Company, if there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company in this Agreement, such that Section 7.2(a) and/or Section 7.2(b) (as applicable) would not be satisfied and such breach or condition is not curable or, if curable, is not cured within the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days after written notice thereof is given by the Requisite Backstop Parties to the Company and (ii) the Outside Date; provided, however, that the Requisite Backstop Parties shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(e) if any Backstop Party is then in breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement such that Section 7.3(a) and/or Section 7.3(b) (as applicable) would not be satisfied (for this purpose, disregarding any cure periods contained therein);

(f)by the Requisite Backstop Parties, by giving written notice of such termination to the Company, if (i) any Milestone has not been satisfied, unless such Milestone has been waived or extended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) the Bankruptcy Cases are dismissed or converted to a case or cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, and neither such dismissal nor conversion expressly contemplates the Transaction, (iii) the Company enters into a definitive agreement to implement an Alternative Transaction or the Bankruptcy Court approves an Alternative Transaction, in each case subject to the provisions of Section 8.3, or (iv) for any reason, (A) the Plan as proposed by the Debtors provides for a Set-Up Equity Value for purposes of determining the Percentage Allocation (each as defined in the Restructuring Term Sheet attached as Annex C) of less than $835 million, or (B) the Plan approved by the Bankruptcy Court provides for a Set-Up Equity Value for purposes of determining the Percentage Allocation (each as defined in the Restructuring Term Sheet attached as Annex C) of less than $835 million; or

(g)by the Company, by giving written notice of such termination to the Backstop Parties, if the Company enters into a definitive agreement to implement an Alternative Transaction, or the Bankruptcy Court approves an Alternative Transaction, in each case subject to the provisions of Section 8.3.

Section 8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1, this Agreement shall thereafter become void and have no effect, and no Party shall have any Liability to any other Party or their respective Affiliates, or their respective directors, officers or employees, except for the obligations of the Parties in this Section 8.2, Section 8.3 and Article X (and any related definitional provisions set forth in Article I), including the payment of the Commitment Premium and any and all Professional Expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Agreement is terminated as a result of a breach of this Agreement by a party hereto, such party shall not be released and shall remain liable for any damages resulting from such breach, subject to the limitations contained in Section 8.4.

Section 8.3 Payments upon Termination.

(a)Subject to the Bankruptcy Court's entry of each applicable Commitment Order, in the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(b) , Section 8.1(c), Section 8.1(e), Section 8.1(f)(i) (but only if any of the Milestones set forth in Section 5.1(a)(i), Section 5.1(a)(iii), Section 5.1(a)(iv), and/or Section 5.1(a)(v) has not been satisfied),

63

Section 8.1(f)(ii), Section 8.1(f)(iii), Section 8.1(f)(iv) or Section 8.1(g), the Debtors shall pay to each Backstop Party its Commitment Premium plus any Professional Expenses not previously reimbursed (or, if the First Commitment Order has been entered, but not the Second Commitment Order, such Backstop Party's pro rata portion of the amounts of the Aggregate Commitment Premium and the Professional Expenses that were approved by the Bankruptcy Court in the First Commitment Order); provided, however, that the Debtors shall not be obligated to pay such Commitment Premium and Professional Expenses until (i) in the event of termination pursuant to Section 8.1(c), Section 8.1(f)(iii) or Section 8.1(g), the earlier of (A) the date of consummation of an applicable Alternative Transaction and (B) May 10, 2020, or (ii) in the event of termination pursuant to Section 8.1(b), Section 8.1(e), Section 8.1(f)(ii), or Section 8.1(f)(iv), the later of (A) February 21, 2021 and (B) three (3) Business Days following the date of such termination; provided further, however, that no Backstop Party shall be paid its Commitment Premium if such Backstop Party is a Defaulting Backstop Party at the time of termination of this Agreement, and such Defaulting Backstop Party's respective Commitment Premium shall be forfeited and retained by the Company.

As of the Execution Date, the Aggregate Commitment Premium shall be deemed earned by the Backstop Parties, and to the extent payable in accordance with this Section 8.3, the Aggregate Commitment Premium and Professional Expenses shall constitute an allowed administrative expense of the Debtors' estate under Sections 503(b) and 507 of the Bankruptcy Code, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be otherwise deemed to be on a pari passu basis with all other administrative expenses of the Debtors' estate.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including Section 2.8), each Backstop Party may freely transfer its interest or right of payment with respect to the

Commitment Premium (a "Commitment Premium Transfer") to any Person without the consent of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, a Commitment Premium Transfer shall not release any obligation of a Backstop Party except to the extent provided in Section 2.8 in connection with the transfer by such Backstop Party of a Transferred Interest to a Permitted Transferee in accordance with the terms of Section 2.8.

(c)In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d), each Backstop Party shall, on the second (2nd) Business Day following the date of such termination, pay the Company an amount equal to such Backstop Party's pro rata allocation, based on the then-current Commitment Percentages, of the Reverse Termination Payment.

Section 8.4 Limitation on Liability.

(a)The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Backstop Parties' entitlement to the Commitment Premiums under Section 8.3 plus their Professional Expenses will constitute liquidated damages (and not a penalty), and, other than their rights to specific performance under Section 10.12 , the Commitment Premium and Professional Expenses shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to the Backstop Parties and any other Person against the Debtor Related Parties in connection with this Agreement or the Transaction (including as a result of the failure to consummate the Closing or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise), and none of the Debtor Related Parties shall have any further Liability relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transaction. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the maximum

64

aggregate liability of the Debtor Related Parties in connection with this Agreement or the Transaction (including as a result of the failure to consummate the Closing or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise) shall be an amount equal to the Aggregate Commitment Premium plus the Professional Expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) under no circumstances shall the Backstop Parties or any of their Affiliates be entitled to monetary damages other than payment of the Commitment Premiums and the Professional Expenses, (ii) while the Backstop Parties may pursue both a grant of specific performance in accordance with this Agreement and the payment of the Commitment Premiums and the Professional Expenses pursuant to Section 8.3, under no circumstance shall the Backstop Parties or any of their Affiliates be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance and any monetary damages, including a payment of all or any portion of the Commitment Premiums and the Professional Expenses, and (iii) under no circumstances shall the Backstop Parties or any of their Affiliates be entitled to collect the Commitment Premiums on more than one occasion (or, after the receipt of the Commitment Premiums, as applicable, any further funds or amounts other than Professional Expenses).

(b)The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Company's entitlement to the Reverse

Termination Payment under Section 8.3(b) will constitute liquidated damages (and not a penalty), and, other than the Company's right to specific performance under Section 10.12, the Reverse Termination Payment under Section 8.3(b) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to the Company and any other Person against the Backstop Party Related Parties in connection with this Agreement or the Transaction (including as a result of the failure to consummate the Closing or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise) following termination of this Agreement, and none of the Backstop Party Related Parties shall have any further Liability relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transaction following termination of this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that in no event shall the maximum aggregate liability of the Backstop Party Related Parties following termination of this Agreement exceed an amount equal to the Reverse Termination Payment.

For the avoidance of doubt, (i) under no circumstances shall the Debtors or any of their Affiliates be entitled to monetary damages other than payment of the Reverse Termination Payment following termination of this Agreement, (ii) while the Company may pursue both a grant of specific performance in accordance with this Agreement and the payment of the Reverse Termination Payment pursuant to Section 8.3(b), under no circumstance shall the Debtors or any of their Affiliates be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance and the Reverse Termination Payment under Section 8.3(b), and (iii) under no circumstances shall the Debtors or any of their Affiliates be entitled to collect the Reverse Termination Payment on more than one occasion (or, after the receipt of the Reverse Termination Payment, any further funds or amounts).

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else herein that may be to the contrary,

(A)each Backstop Party only shall be required to pay pursuant to Section 8.3(c) its pro rata portion of the Reverse Termination Payment based on such Backstop Party's then-current Commitment Percentage, (B) each Backstop Party shall not be responsible for, or be obligated to pay, any portion of the Reverse Termination Payment owed by any other Backstop Party, and

(C)the maximum aggregate liability of any Backstop Party in connection with this Agreement or the Transaction (including as a result of the failure to consummate the Closing or for a breach or

65

failure to perform hereunder or otherwise), whether or not this Agreement is terminated or the Closing occurs shall not exceed an amount equal to (1) the amount of the Reverse Termination Payment multiplied by (2) such Backstop Party's then-current Commitment Percentage.

ARTICLE IX

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 9.1 Company Indemnity. Subject to entry of the Commitment Order, the Company (the "Indemnifying Party") shall indemnify and hold harmless each Backstop Party and its Affiliates, equity holders, members, partners, general partners, managers and its and their respective representatives and controlling Persons (each, an "Indemnified Person") from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and costs and expenses (other than Taxes of the Backstop Parties, except to the extent otherwise provided for in this Agreement) that any such Indemnified Person may incur or to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Plan and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (collectively, "Losses") (but not including any fees and expenses that would be reimbursable by the Company pursuant to Section 2.10 if the Professional Expenses Cap were disregarded, other than fees and expenses incurred by an Indemnified Person in connection with a Third Party Claim), including the Backstop Commitments, the Rights Offering, the payment of the Commitment Premium or the use of the proceeds of the Rights Offering, or any claim, challenge, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto, whether or not such proceedings are brought by the Company or its equity holders, Affiliates, creditors or any other Person, and reimburse each Indemnified Person upon demand for reasonable documented (with such documentation subject to redaction to preserve attorney client and work product privileges) legal or other third party expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending, or providing evidence in or preparing to serve or serving as a witness with respect to, any lawsuit, investigation, claim or other proceeding relating to any of the foregoing (including in connection with the enforcement of the indemnification obligations set forth herein), irrespective of whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Plan are consummated or whether or not this Agreement is terminated; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to Losses (a) as to any Defaulting Backstop Party or any Indemnified Person related thereto, caused by such default by such Backstop Party, (b) to the extent they are found by a final, non- appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person, or (c) that would constitute allowed administrative expenses of the Debtors' estate under sections 503(b) and 507 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 9.2 Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of the commencement of any claim, challenge, litigation, investigation or proceeding (an "Indemnified Claim"), such Indemnified Person will, if a claim is to be made hereunder against the Indemnified Person in respect thereof, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof; provided, that the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have hereunder except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure. In case any such Indemnified Claims are brought against any Indemnified Person and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the

66

commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate therein, and, at its election by providing written notice to such Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person; provided, that if the parties (including any impleaded parties) to any such Indemnified Claims include both such Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Party and based on advice of such Indemnified Person's counsel there are legal defenses available to such Indemnified Person that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnified Person shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such Indemnified Claims. Upon receipt of notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Person of its election to so assume the defense of such Indemnified Claims with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Person for expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof or participation therein (other than reasonable costs of investigation) unless (a) such Indemnified Person shall have employed separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel representing the Indemnified Persons who are parties to such Indemnified Claims (in addition to one local counsel in each jurisdiction in which local counsel is required)), (b) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person to represent such Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after the Indemnifying Party has received notice of commencement of the Indemnified Claims from, or delivered on behalf of, the Indemnified Person, (c) after the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Indemnified Claims, the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that the Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing to defend such claim and provides written notice of such determination, and such failure is not reasonably cured within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such notice, or (d) the Indemnifying Party shall have authorized in writing the employment of counsel for such Indemnified Person. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall have sole control over any Tax audit and shall be permitted to settle any liability for Taxes of the Company.

Section 9.3 Settlement of Indemnified Claims. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Indemnified Claims effected by such Indemnified Person without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party. If any settlement of any Indemnified Claims is consummated with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such Indemnified Claims, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all Losses by reason of such settlement or judgment to the extent such Losses are otherwise subject to indemnification by the Indemnifying Party hereunder in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, this Article IX. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Person (which consent shall be granted or withheld, conditioned or delayed in the Indemnified Person's sole discretion), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Indemnified Claims in respect of which indemnity or contribution has been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless (a) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person from all liability on the claims that are the subject matter of such Indemnified Claims and (b) such settlement does not

67

include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

Section 9.4 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All amounts paid by an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Person under this Article IX shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be treated for all Tax purposes as adjustments to the purchase price for the Offered Shares subscribed for by the Backstop Parties in the Rights Offering and the Purchased Shares purchased by such Indemnified Person. The provisions of this Article IX are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without these provisions the Backstop Parties would not have entered into this Agreement, and the obligations of the Company under this Article IX shall constitute allowed administrative expenses of the Debtors' estate under sections 503(b) and 507 of the Bankruptcy Code, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be deemed to be on a pari passu basis with all other administrative expenses of the Debtors' estate, and are payable without further order of the Bankruptcy Court, and the Company may comply with the requirements of this Article IX without further order of the Bankruptcy Court.

ARTICLE X

Section 10.4 Amendment; Waiver.

(a)This Agreement or the Restructuring Term Sheet may only be amended, modified or supplemented by a written instrument signed by the Company and the Requisite Backstop Parties; provided, however, that any modification of, or amendment or supplement to, this Agreement or the Restructuring Term Sheet that would have the effect of (i) increasing any

Backstop Party's aggregate purchase price to be paid in respect of its Purchased Shares, (ii)

69

modifying any Backstop Party's pro rata share of the Backstop Percentage, Subscription Percentage, Commitment Premium or the Reverse Termination Payment, relative to the other Backstop Parties' pro rata share of the same, (iii) otherwise disproportionately and materially adversely affect any Backstop Party, or (v) modifying Section 8.4(b) or this Section 10.4, shall require the prior written consent of each affected Backstop Party.

(b)No failure or delay on the part of any Party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any waiver on the part of any Party hereto of any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement. The rights and remedies provided pursuant to this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any Party hereto otherwise may have at law or in equity.

Section 10.5 No Assignment or Benefit to Third Parties. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned (a) by any of the Backstop Parties without the prior written consent of the Company, or (b) by the Company without the prior written consent of the Requisite Backstop Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limitation of any other rights of assignment set forth in this Agreement, the Backstop Parties may assign any and all rights under this Agreement to any Permitted Transferee in accordance with Section 2.8. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 10.5 shall be void ab initio and of no force or effect. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement, except for Article IX, which is intended to be for the benefit of the Indemnified Persons.

Section 10.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including all Annexes, Schedules and Exhibits hereto), the other Transaction Documents and the Confidentiality Agreements contain the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters. For the avoidance of doubt, all agreements, covenants, representations, and warranties of the Backstop Parties made in this Agreement are made severally and not jointly. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, no Backstop Party shall be responsible or liable for (a) any other Backstop Party's pro rata allocation, based on the then-current Commitment Percentages, of the Reverse Termination Payment, or (b) any damages that may be payable by any other Backstop Party.

Section 10.7 Fulfillment of Obligations. Any obligation of any Party to any other Party under this Agreement which obligation is performed, satisfied or fulfilled completely by an Affiliate of such Party, shall be deemed to have been performed, satisfied or fulfilled by such Party.

Each Party agrees that it shall bring any action or proceeding in respect of any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement or the Transaction exclusively in the Bankruptcy Court, provided, however, that, if the Bankruptcy Cases have not yet been commenced, the Bankruptcy Cases are closed pursuant to section 350 of the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Court does not have subject-matter jurisdiction over such action, each of the Parties irrevocably agrees that it shall bring any action or proceeding in respect of any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement or the Transaction exclusively in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or any New York State court, in each case sitting in the City and County of New York (the Bankruptcy Court or such other court, as applicable, the "Chosen Courts"), and solely in connection with claims arising out of or related to this Agreement or the Transaction (i) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts, (ii) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action or proceeding in the Chosen Courts, (iii) waives any objection that the Chosen Courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over any Party and (iv) agrees that service of process upon such Party in any such action or proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with

Section 10.3. Each Party irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transaction.

Section 10.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

Restructuring Term Sheet

This term sheet (this "Term Sheet")1 sets forth certain material terms of a proposed going concern financial restructuring (the "Restructuring") of Garrett Motion Inc. ("GMI") and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"). Terms used and not defined herein have the meanings given in the Backstop Commitment Agreement (the "Agreement"). This Term Sheet summarizes certain key terms of a joint plan of reorganization to implement a restructuring under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the "Plan") in the Bankruptcy Cases pending in the Bankruptcy Court.

 

OVERVIEW

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Overview

The Plan shall provide for, among other things:

 

 

∙ the reorganization of the Debtors (the "Reorganized Debtors");

 

 

∙ the recapitalization of GMI (as reorganized, "New GMI"), as

 

 

described below;

 

 

∙ the incurrence of indebtedness for borrowed money of the

 

 

Reorganized Debtors on and after the date of the closing of the

 

 

contemplated transactions (the "Effective Date"), as may be

 

 

arranged by the Backstop Parties as provided in the Agreement,

 

 

in an aggregate funded amount on the Effective Date not to exceed

 

 

$1.2 billion (plus any funded portion of any working capital

 

 

facility) (the "Debt Financing");

 

 

∙ the issuance of $735 million of Series A Preferred Stock in a fully

 

 

backstopped rights offering (the "Rights Offering"), consisting of

 

 

$700 million of Series A Preferred Stock issued to eligible holders

 

 

of Existing Shares for a cash purchase price and $35 million

 

 

issued as compensation to the Backstop Parties;

 

 

∙ the payment in full in cash of (i) allowed DIP Claims,2 (ii) allowed

 

 

Prepetition Credit Agreement Claims (as defined below) and (iii)

 

 

allowed Senior Subordinated Noteholder Claims (as defined

 

 

below);

 

 

∙ the reinstatement, payment in full and/or assumption by the

 

 

Reorganized Debtors in the ordinary course of business of all

 

 

allowed General Unsecured Claims (as defined below) of the

 

 

Debtors, including all ordinary course trade liabilities; and

 

 

 

 

 

1"Claim" shall have the meaning set forth in section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code.

2"DIP Claims" means any Claim against any of the Debtors arising out of or related to the senior secured superpriority debtor-in-possession credit facility governed by that certain Senior Secured Super-Priority Debtor- in-Possession Credit Agreement, dated as of October 9, 2020, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, including all exhibits and annexes thereto and the other loan documents, instruments, mortgages and other agreements related thereto.

 

∙ the treatment of Honeywell Spin-Off Claims (as defined below),

 

Existing Shares and other Claims and interests as provided in the

 

Plan.

 

 

New GMI and Its Equity

The capital stock of New GMI on the Effective Date shall consist only of

Securities

the following:

 

∙ reinstated Existing Shares (as reinstated, "Common Stock");

 

∙ $735 million in initial liquidation preference of Series A Preferred

 

Stock issued to holders of Existing Shares pursuant to the Rights

 

Offering, consisting of $700 million of Series A Preferred Stock

 

issued to eligible holders of Existing Shares for a cash purchase

 

price and $35 million issued as compensation to the Backstop

 

Parties pursuant to the terms of the Agreement;

 

∙ if applicable, Series B Preferred Stock (as defined below) or shares

 

of Common Stock issued to holders of Honeywell Spin-Off

 

Claims; and

 

∙ the Warrants (as defined below).

 

 

Set-Up Equity Value

The Plan will determine the percentage allocation between Common Stock

 

(including any Common Stock issued to holders of Honeywell Spin-Off

 

Claims) and $735 million of Series A Preferred Stock, on a fully diluted

 

basis, based on the following calculation (the "Percentage Allocation"):

 

the percentage of fully diluted shares attributable to the Series A Preferred

 

Stock shall equal (i) $735 million, divided by (ii) the Set-Up Equity Value

 

(or, if applicable, the Revised Set-Up Equity Value (as defined below)).

 

"Set-Up Equity Value" is equal to: (i) $2.7 billion, plus (ii) unrestricted

 

cash on hand of the Debtors as of the Effective Date not to exceed $120

 

million, plus (iii) the actual amount of restricted cash collateral of the

 

Debtors as of the Effective Date, not to exceed $105 million (the

 

"Estimated Cash Collateral"), minus (iv) the sum of (A) the principal

 

amount of the Debt Financing (including any funded portion of any

 

working capital facility) and (B) the Initial Junior Liquidation Preference

 

(as defined below). The Set-Up Equity Value shall be subject to

 

recalculation as set forth in the following paragraph.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Set-Up Equity Value

 

for the purposes of determining the Percentage Allocation be deemed to

 

be less than $835 million. For the avoidance of doubt, as necessary to

 

preserve the minimum Set-Up Equity Value, the Debtors may issue

 

Common Stock to holders of Honeywell Spin-Off Claims in lieu of

 

Series B Preferred Stock, in which case such Common Stock shall dilute

 

only Existing Shares and shall not dilute the Percentage Allocation of the

 

Series A Preferred Stock.

 

On or prior to the date that is 100 days following the Effective Date, New

 

GMI shall deliver to the Backstop Parties a statement from New GMI's

 

Chief Financial Officer certifying as to the actual amount of restricted

 

cash collateral of the Debtors as of the date that is 90 days following the

 

 

C-2

 

Effective Date (the "Final Cash Collateral"). The Estimated Cash

 

Collateral minus the Final Cash Collateral shall equal "Released Cash

 

Collateral." The Set-Up Equity Value shall be recalculated using

 

Released Cash Collateral in lieu of Estimated Cash Collateral in clause

 

(iii) of the definition of Set-Up Equity Value (the Set-Up Equity Value,

 

as so recalculated, being herein called the "Revised Set-Up Equity

 

Value"). After the Revised Set-Up Equity Value has been determined,

 

(A) the Percentage Allocation shall be recalculated using the Revised

 

Set-Up Equity Value, (B) the persons entitled to receive Series A

 

Preferred Stock on the Effective Date shall be entitled to receive

 

additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the

 

recalculated Percentage Allocation, and (C) New GMI promptly shall

 

issue such additional such additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock

 

to such persons.

 

The Set-Up Equity Value is intended only as a contractual term for the

 

limited purpose of determining the Percentage Allocation and is not a

 

valuation. No party shall be required to take a position with respect to

 

valuation except as necessary to fulfill any relevant obligation under the

 

Plan and to consummate the Plan.

 

 

Series A Preferred Stock

The "Series A Preferred Stock" will have terms and conditions consistent

(Senior; Common

with the following and otherwise reasonably acceptable to Requisite

Equivalent)

Backstop Parties:

 

∙ Except for the Senior Liquidation Preference (as defined below),

 

each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be the economic and

 

voting equivalent of one share of Common Stock;

 

∙ Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible into

 

Common Stock on a 1:1 basis at any time at the option of the

 

holder;

 

∙ Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall receive ratable

 

dividends with Common Stock and shall vote on an as-converted

 

basis on all matters;

 

∙ Each share of Series A Preferred Stock also shall have a

 

cumulative liquidation preference (the "Senior Liquidation

 

Preference"), which shall initially be an aggregate amount equal

 

to $735 million, over all other equity securities of the Debtors

 

(including the Common Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock),

 

equal to (i) its pro rata share of the initial liquidation preference of

 

the Series A Preferred Stock of $735 million, minus (ii) all

 

dividends and distributions made since the date of issuance, plus

 

(iii) the aggregate amounts of additional liquidation preference

 

which shall accrue in respect of each share of Series A Preferred

 

Stock quarterly in arrears at the annual rate of 8.00% of the Senior

 

Liquidation Preference at the time of such accrual;

 

∙ The Senior Liquidation Preference shall become due and payable

 

upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event.

 

 

C-3

"Liquidation Event" means (i) any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of New GMI, or (ii) reorganization or recapitalization of New GMI;

Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to put the Series A Preferred Stock to New GMI for a price equal to the then-outstanding Senior Liquidation Preference following the occurrence of a Change of Control and certain other enumerated events to be agreed.

"Change of Control" means: (i) a person or group becoming the beneficial owner of more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of all of New GMI's then-outstanding voting securities; (ii) any transaction or series of related transactions in connection with which (whether by means of merger, consolidation, share exchange, combination, reclassification, recapitalization, acquisition or otherwise) all of New GMI's capital stock is exchanged for, converted into, acquired for, or constitutes solely the right to receive, other securities, cash or other property (other than any such transaction which would not result in a change of ownership of more than 50%); or (iii) the sale, exchange, lease, or transfer of all or substantially all of New

GMI's assets (other than a sale, exchange, lease, or transfer to one or more entities where the stockholders of New GMI's immediately before such sale, exchange or transfer retain, directly or indirectly, at least a majority of the beneficial interest in the voting stock of the entities to which the assets were transferred).

All outstanding Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically convert to Common Stock following the time when the volume weighted average price for the Common Stock exceeds 175% of the per share Senior Liquidation Preference of the Series A Preferred Stock for a period of 60 consecutive trading days; provided, however, that the closing price per share of Common Stock must exceed such threshold on both the first and last trading day of such 60-trading day period.

Subject in each case to applicable listing standards, GMI shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a listing of the Series A Preferred Stock on either the NYSE or another national securities exchange reasonably requested by the Requisite Backstop Parties (including the NYSE American or NASDAQ or any tier thereof).

Freely transferable, provided that Series A Preferred Stock is transferred subject to registration under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption therefrom.

Approval of 85% of the then-outstanding Series A Preferred Stock will be required for any amendments to the Certificate of Designations or Certificate of Incorporation which change the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock; provided, however, that approval of 100% of the then-outstanding Series A Preferred Stock will be required for changes to the terms of, or which otherwise

C-4

adversely affect, the Senior Liquidation Preference, or any of the terms relating thereto;

New GMI will not be able to: (i) incur debt, except for drawdowns on New GMI's revolving credit facility for working capital needs up to a maximum of $350 million, if such incurrence would result in leverage greater than 2.5x of New GMI's annual adjusted

EBITDA on a consolidated basis; or (ii) call, retire, redeem or otherwise acquire any Series B Preferred Stock, or make an amortization payment on the Series B Preferred Stock, if any such incurrence would result in leverage greater than 2.5x of New

GMI's annual adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis; in the case of either (i) or (ii) above without the approval of holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock;

Conversion ratio for conversion of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock will be subject to structural anti-dilution (as opposed to price anti-dilution) adjustments for reclassifications, stock splits, dividends, combinations, etc.;

Promptly following the signing of the Agreement, the Backstop Parties and New GMI will negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to agree on the scheduled term and amortization of the Series B Preferred Stock (and the principles for modifying the same to adjust for the value ultimately determined to be distributable with respect to the Honeywell Spin-Off Claims under the Plan); provided, however, that any agreement involving a scheduled term of less than 20 years or quarterly scheduled payments in excess of $11.25 million in any quarter shall require the approval of Backstop Parties holding at least 75% in aggregate amount of the Backstop Commitments of all Backstop Parties;

Unless waived prior to the Confirmation Date by Backstop Parties holding at least 75% in aggregate amount of the Backstop Commitments or, after the Effective Date, by holders of Series A Preferred Stock holding at least 75% of Series A Preferred Stock, if New GMI's annual adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis falls below $475 million in any year, the annual amortization payments on Series B Preferred Stock for that year shall be deferred (without interest). Upon reaching such EBITDA threshold, such deferred amortization payments shall be paid in equal installments over the subsequent two years following the payment year in which such deferred amortization payments were to have occurred, in addition to any amortization payments arising during such following years; and

The Company will not, by amending any of its constitutional or other organizational documents or through any transaction or other action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock or otherwise adversely affect the holders thereof, but will in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock

C-5

 

and take all reasonable actions to protect the rights of the holders

 

thereof against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the

 

tenor and purpose of the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

 

Series B Preferred Stock

The "Series B Preferred Stock" will have terms and conditions consistent

(Junior; Amortizing)

with the following and otherwise reasonably acceptable to Requisite

 

Backstop Parties:

 

∙ An initial liquidation preference in an amount equal to the Initial

 

Junior Liquidation Preference;

 

∙ Ranking in liquidation junior to the Senior Liquidation Preference

 

of the Series A Preferred Stock but senior to Common Stock;

 

∙ Mortgage-style amortization of the Initial Junior Liquidation

 

Preference in installments of a frequency and over a period of time

 

to be mutually determined by the Debtors and the Backstop

 

Parties, but not less than 20 years. The term "Junior Liquidation

 

Preference" means the principal amount from time to time, equal

 

to the Initial Junior Liquidation Preference minus previous

 

amortization payments;

 

∙ A dividend rate on the Junior Liquidation Preference of 7.00% per

 

annum or such other rate as the Debtors and 100% of the Backstop

 

Parties may agree (the "Dividend Rate"), payable quarterly from

 

issuance;

 

∙ Deferral of amortization and dividends at the option of New GMI,

 

with deferred amounts accumulating at the Dividend Rate;

 

∙ Series B Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights except as

 

required for preferred stock pursuant to Section 313.00(C) of the

 

NYSE Listed Company Manual;

 

∙ No payment of dividends on Common Stock at any time when any

 

amortization payment or dividend payment on the Series B

 

Preferred Stock is accrued and unpaid;

 

∙ Callable at any time at 100% of the then-outstanding Junior

 

Liquidation Preference (including any unpaid amortization and

 

dividends);

 

∙ Mandatorily redeemable upon Change of Control (defined as

 

above, but without giving effect to clause (i) of such definition),

 

unless assumed by successor; and

 

∙ Not listed and non-transferrable without the prior consent of New

 

GMI.

 

 

Rights Offering

New GMI will distribute rights to purchase Series A Preferred Stock for

 

cash to holders of Existing Shares pursuant to the Plan ("Subscription

 

Rights"). The Subscription Rights will allow the eligible holders thereof,

 

on a record date to be determined, to purchase Series A Preferred Stock

 

based on the Set-Up Equity Value.

 

The Rights Offering will be sized to raise $560 million of gross cash

 

proceeds to be funded on the Effective Date. The proceeds of the Rights

 

 

 

C-6

 

Offering shall be applied by the Debtors to pay administrative Claims and

 

to make cash distributions under the Plan.

Summary of Revised Terms

[See attached.]


Summary of Revised Terms

(as of January 4, 2021)

 

A.

Set-Up Equity Value (as defined in the Restructuring Term Sheet) increases by $50 million to reflect a $2.750 billion enterprise value. The increase in Set-Up Equity Value is a direct increase to distributable value, which will be used to determine equity ownership percentages for a given Honeywell settlement and flow through to equity value.

 

B.

Debt Financing at emergence of at least $1.3 billion, with a possible maximum amount of $1.5 billion.

 

  1.

The amount of debt financing to be agreed upon by the Debtors, the Equity Committee and the Backstop Parties no later than seven (7) days prior to the commencement of the Disclosure Statement Hearing.

 

C.

Maximum Series A Preferred Stock investment of $600 million (the initial equity commitment):

 

  1.

On or prior to January 8, 2021, the Debtors shall file a motion seeking court approval of a Commitment Premium of $30 million (5% of $600 million initial equity commitment amount), which premium shall be deemed earned immediately upon conclusion of the auction and remain subject to court approval as below. The Equity Committee shall support the relief requested in such motion.

 

  i.

80% of the Commitment Premium to be approved at the January 26 hearing; and

 

  ii.

20% of the Commitment Premium to be approved at the February 26 disclosure statement hearing.

 

  2.

The amount of Series A Preferred Stock ultimately issued may flex down from $600 million, if more than $1.3 billion of Debt Financing is determined to be raised prior to the Effective Date:

 

  i.

Any reduction in the amount of Series A Preferred Stock issued shall not impact the Commitment Premium payable to the Backstop Parties; and

 

  ii.

The Series A Preferred Stock funded shall be no less than $400 million.

 

  3.

Amount of Series A Preferred directly allocated to the Backstop Parties is equal to $140 million, notwithstanding a potential reduction referred to above.

 

  4.

The Equity Committee may continue to solicit alternative financing for a standalone chapter 11 plan during the period up to January 25, 2021, after which date, it shall covenant not to pursue any such alternative financing. On January 4, 2021, the Equity Committee will file a motion for expense reimbursement for various financing parties, and the Backstop Parties will support the relief requested in such motion.

January 4, 2021

D.

The Debtors will raise the Debt Financing as part of the plan process and no debt financing commitment shall be required to be obtained by Backstop Parties.

 

E.

Increase the Estimated Cash Collateral by $47 million (an amount consistent with the recent increase in the P-Notes per the Company’s DIP Budget, subject to confirmation with the Company), which provides for a commensurate increase in value distributable to equity.

 

F.

Professional Expense Cap: In connection with the motion to approve the Commitment Premium, the Debtors shall seek approval for the reimbursement of the professionals fees and expenses incurred by the Backstop Parties and the Equity Committee shall support such requested relief as follows:

 

  1.

50% of the $20 million of Professional Expense Cap will be approved at the January 26 hearing and payable as incurred to date and thereafter: and

Re: Garrett Motion Inc., et al. (collectively, the Debtors)

Dear Mr. Rabiller:

We write 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”).

thereto, the “Backstop Commitment Agreement”), and (iv) the revised bid of the Investor Group, submitted January 4, 2021 (the “Revised Investor Bid” and, collectively with the Initial Bid and the Backstop Commitment Agreement, the “Pending Bid”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings given thereto in the Bidding Procedures or the Backstop Commitment Agreement, as applicable.

The Standalone Plan

As requested by the Debtors in their modification of the Bidding Procedures, the Investor Group respectfully submits this proposal as a modification of the Pending Bid (the “Standalone Plan”) and asserts that it presents the best path forward for the Debtors. Our proposal is supported by the Official Committee of Equity Interest Holders, the Investor Group shareholders, and other unaligned shareholders. To our knowledge, the only shareholders who do not support our proposal are part of the COH group, but, even they are opposed to selling GMI and its assets to KPS.

Distributable Value is Maximized in the Standalone Plan

Simply put, the Investor Group can identify no reason or justification for selling GMI and its assets to a private equity buyer as the best option for the Debtors’ estates at this time given the emphatic support seen in these bankruptcy cases from constituents who desperately want to preserve the upside to which they are entitled from their prior investments. Our proposal is not a sale of the company. Although the Investor Group has agreed to participate in the auction, ours is a financing package that allows the Debtors to successfully execute their plan to emerge from these Chapter 11 cases quickly and efficiently. We merely provide the backstop for the equity check required for the Debtors to deleverage their own balance sheet prior to exit.

The benefits of the Investor Group’s proposal are clear:

 

   

Honeywell, which also opposes a sale of the company to KPS, can never claim they are harmed by the Standalone Plan. In fact, all constituents, including Honeywell, are benefitted by the Debtors choosing a path forward that maximizes value to the estates. Furthermore, Honeywell’s claim is capped by the value of ASASCO in excess of its indebtedness (if any), which is a determination the Debtors will make. While such discrete valuation is litigable, it defies logic that Honeywell could ever prove to the Bankruptcy Court that the Debtors grossly overvalued the Standalone Plan. Importantly, the Standalone Plan is broadly endorsed by unconflicted interested parties, such that their recovery as part of the KPS distributable value would have been higher than all the value unlocked in the Investor Group proposal, all of which they can capture.

 

   

All common shareholders can participate in the Standalone Plan. Even the shareholders who are bidding through the COH consortium continue to have rights to own their fair share of these assets. There is no denying the intrinsic value of GMI and its subsidiaries. There are two other well-capitalized groups aggressively competing to buy the assets (KPS and COH). Garrett’s share price will be well into the double-digits once this cloud of uncertainty as to whether KPS or COH might walk away with GMI is lifted from the process. This Standalone Plan provides the path to unlocking that value by allowing current shareholders the opportunity to continue to own between 80% and 90% of the future shares, through the rights offering and their current shares, depending on different configurations of debt and Honeywell claims.

Nobody Wants the Company Sold Except for KPS

We ask that you, the members of the Board of Directors, carefully consider this “best and final” proposal, attached as Annex A hereto, which responds to the points mentioned in correspondence from Mr. Dietderich, and shows material improvement upon the Pending Bid. We hope you agree that our updated proposal makes it easier than ever to choose reorganization of the Company over a sale to KPS.

Except as modified or amended by the terms set forth in Annex A, the terms of the Pending Bid (including in the Backstop Commitment Agreement and the Transaction Documents relating thereto) remain in effect and are incorporated as part of this proposal.

If you have any questions regarding the Pending Bid, as modified herein and on Annex A, please contact the undersigned at the phone number and/or address set forth above.

 

Very truly yours,

Summary of Revised Terms as of 1/5/2021

The following terms and alphabetical labels correspond to the items reflected and requested in the email correspondence from Mr. Andrew Dietderich, counsel for the Debtors, on January 4, 2021, at 8:00pm ET, and January 5, 2021, at 9:51am ET, and are intended to modify the terms and conditions of the Pending Bid to the limited extent provided herein.

 

A.

Set-Up Equity Value shall be increased by $15 million to reflect an aggregate $2.765 billion enterprise value.

 

B.

Any increase in Debt Financing at emergence above $1.3 billion requires the approval of the Debtors and at least 75% of the Backstop Parties. In connection therewith, the Debtors and the Backstop Parties shall negotiate in good faith whether to allow up to $100 million of cash raised from the issuance of Debt Financing and/or additional Series A Preferred Stock (which, in all instances, shall not be in an aggregate amount greater than $2.0 billion) to be used on the effective date of the Plan in connection with the satisfaction of Honeywell claims in lieu of all or part of the Series B Preferred Stock which would otherwise be issued to Honeywell.

 

C.

If the transactions contemplated by the Backstop Commitment Agreement and the Transaction Documents are not consummated and the Backstop Commitment Agreement is terminated by the Backstop Parties, the Backstop Parties agree that the cash payment of an amount equal to the Commitment Premium shall be subordinated to the payment of allowed general unsecured creditor claims, including those claims held by Honeywell.

 

G.

The Dividend Rate on Series B Preferred Stock shall be 9.00% or less or as otherwise approved by at least 75% of the Backstop Parties.
