Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 5 amends the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Hawk Ridge Master Fund, LP, Hawk Ridge Management, LLC, Hawk Ridge Capital Management, L.P., Hawk Ridge Capital Management GP LLC and Mr. David G. Brown (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) on October 27, 2020 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”) with respect to shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Shares”) of Garrett Motion Inc. (the “Company”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.

On January 22, 2021, the Company and the other Debtors (as defined therein) entered into the Equity Backstop Commitment Agreement (the “Equity Backstop Commitment Agreement”) with the Equity Backstop Parties (as defined therein), setting forth the terms by which the Equity Backstop Parties committed to participate in a rights offering to provide capital to the Debtors in connection with the Debtors’ plan of reorganization. The Equity Backstop Commitment Agreement supplements the Plan Support Agreement, entered into by the Company, the other Debtors, the Equity Backstop Parties, Honeywell and the Consenting Noteholders on January 11, 2021. The Equity Backstop Commitment Agreement is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated by reference.

The Shareholder Parties by themselves or with the Equity Commitment Parties, Honeywell and the Consenting Noteholders (to the extent they own Shares) may be deemed to constitute a group for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Act. The Reporting Persons anticipate that the other Equity Commitment Parties, Honeywell and the Consenting Noteholders will file separate statements of beneficial ownership on Schedule 13D pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(2) under the Act, and any amendments thereto, containing their required information. The Reporting Persons assume no responsibility for the information contained in any filings by any other person. The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of any securities beneficially owned or acquired by any other person except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein. As of the date of this Amendment No. 5, based on information provided by the other Equity Commitment Parties, Honeywell and the Consenting Noteholders, the Reporting Persons believe that the Equity Commitment Parties, Honeywell and the Consenting Noteholders beneficially own in the aggregate 57.6% of the 75,788,279 outstanding Shares, as reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 2, 2020.
