How will the tendered Interests be allocated between the Offerors?
If you tender your Interests, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to the Offer, you will be deemed to have assigned your Interests to the Anchorage Offeror and the Contrarian Offeror according to the allocations that they have agreed between them.
The Interests accepted for payment will be allocated, separately for the tendered Trust Interests and the tendered Partnership Interests, as follows: (a) of the first 45.3% of Interests tendered, 50.0% will be allocated to the Anchorage Offeror and 50.0% will be allocated to the Contrarian Offeror; and (b) thereafter, 85.0% of Interests tendered will be allocated to the Anchorage Offeror and 15.0% will be allocated to the Contrarian Offeror.
Will the allocation of the Interests between the Offerors affect you in any way?
No. The allocation between the Offerors of the Interests accepted for payment will not affect you or your tender of Interests. You will receive the same purchase price regardless of which Offeror ultimately acquires your tendered Interests, for which each of the Offerors is jointly and severally liable.
What is the change to the Offer price?
The Offer price is being increased to $0.16 per Interest, instead of the original price of $0.133 per Interest. $0.16 per Interest is the same price that Contrarian Funds, L.L.C. initially offered in the now-terminated Contrarian offers.
The purchase price will be paid to you, in cash, without interest, net of the deductions described below.
We may deduct from the purchase price:
•
any applicable withholding taxes, and
•
the amount of any dividends, distributions and other remittances paid by the Trust or the Partnership, as applicable, based upon a record date occurring from November 13, 2018 until the date and time the Interests are accepted by us for payment.
In addition, we may deduct from the purchase price any premiums, fees, and catch-up payments that you may owe to the Trust or the Partnership or their agents in respect of any of the Interests you tender.
Why will deductions be made for premiums, fees and catch-up payments?
If you owe the Trust or the Partnership, or any of their respective agents, premiums, fees and catch-up payments, the Trust or the Partnership has the right to collect these payments from the distributions on the Interests that you own that may be made in the future. Unless these obligations are discharged, you will not be able to tender your Interests free and clear of any encumbrance as we are requiring, and the Interests we are acquiring would be subject to deductions from distributions that we may receive in the future. Accordingly, if you owe any such premiums, fees and catch-up payments, we intend to discharge those obligations upon the consummation of the Offer by paying to the Trust or the Partnership, as the case may be, the amounts that you owe out of the purchase price payment that would otherwise be made to you. By your tender of your Interests, you are authorizing us to do so. Any such amounts paid to discharge your obligations to the Trust or the Partnership will be deemed to have been paid to you in the Offer as part of the purchase price for your Interests.
What is the change to the expiration date?
The expiration date to tender any Interests in the Offer has been extended to Friday, January 18, 2019 at 5:00 p.m. New York City time.
What are the changes to the number of Interests being sought?
We are decreasing the number of Interests sought in the Offer to 105,989,695 Trust Interests and 165,155,385 Partnership Interests, from the 150,375,940 Trust Interests and 225,563,910 Partnership Interests originally sought.
