The class of equity securities to which this Schedule 13D relates is the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Garrett Motion Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), which has its principal executive office at La Pièce 16 Rolle, Switzerland. Unless specifically amended hereby, the disclosures set forth in the Schedule 13D remain unchanged.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

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

On January 22, 2021, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) entered into an Equity Backstop Commitment Agreement (the “Equity Backstop Commitment Agreement”) with Oaktree Opportunities Fund Xb Holdings (Delaware), L.P., Oaktree Opportunities Fund XI Holdings (Delaware), L.P., Centerbridge Special Credit Partners III-Flex, L.P., Attestor Value Master Fund LP, The Baupost Group, L.L.C., Cyrus Capital Partners, L.P., FIN Capital Partners LP, Hawk Ridge Capital Management LP, Keyframe Capital Partners, L.P., Newtyn Management, LLC, Sessa Capital IM, L.P. and Whitebox Multi-Strategy Partners, L.P. (collectively, the “Equity Backstop Parties”) pursuant to the PSA, entered into on January 11, 2021, by and among the Company, the Plan Sponsors, Honeywell, the Additional Investors and the Initial Consenting Noteholders.

The Equity Backstop Commitment Agreement governs the obligations of the Debtors and the Equity Backstop Parties in respect of the rights offering through which the Company has agreed to issue shares of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $200 million in the aggregate in cash, as contemplated by the PSA (the “Rights Offering”). The Equity Backstop Commitment Agreement contemplates, among other things, that the Equity Backstop Parties will:

 

   

exercise all subscription rights allocated to them in the Rights Offering to purchase shares of the Convertible Series A Preferred Stock; and

 

   

purchase, on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the percentages set forth in Annex A of the Equity Backstop Commitment Agreement) all unsubscribed shares of Convertible Series A Preferred Stock which were offered but not subscribed for in the Rights Offering.

The Equity Backstop Commitment Agreement may be terminated upon the occurrence of certain events set forth in the Equity Backstop Commitment Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Equity Backstop Commitment Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Equity Backstop Commitment Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 attached to the Company’s Form 8-K, filed on January 25, 2021.
