the Issuer and the Consenting Noteholders entered into a Master Transaction Agreement (the “Master Transaction Agreement”), and the Issuer, Newco and Finance Co entered into a Business and Asset Transfer Agreement (the “BTA”), and the Issuer effected the transactions contemplated by the Master Transaction Agreement and the BTA, emerged from bankruptcy protection, and the Bankruptcy Plan went effective.
Pursuant to the A&R TSA, Bankruptcy Plan, the Master Transaction Agreement and the BTA, on February 16, 2023, a series of transactions occurred which resulted in the Convertible Notes and Senior Secured Notes being extinguished, the Issuer issuing 13,020,000 Ordinary Shares to Finance Co and 4,000,000 Ordinary Shares to Merger Co, resulting in Newco indirectly owning approximately 81% of the outstanding Common Shares of the Issuer, and all of the subsidiaries of the Issuer becoming indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Newco. The limited partnership interests in Newco are held by certain of the Consenting Noteholders. The A&R TSA, Bankruptcy Plan, and Master Transaction Agreement further provide that as soon as practicable following the effective date, the Issuer, Finance Co. and Merger Co will enter into a merger agreement that will result in the Issuer becoming a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Newco (the “Merger”). The Master Transaction Agreement provides that the parties thereto will cooperate as reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate the Merger as soon as possible. Upon completion of the Merger, the Issuer is expected to terminate the registration of its equity securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
