The restructuring support agreement provides that the Debtors will seek approval of a $1.25 billion debtor-in-possession term loan credit facility (the “DIP Facility”) as part of the chapter 11 cases. The proceeds of the DIP Facility will be used to (i) repay in full all obligations under the Company’s superpriority credit facility; (ii) repay in full (or cash collateralize issued letters of credit) the Company’s asset-based revolving credit ABL facility; (iii) pay costs and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses related to the court-supervised restructuring proceedings; and (iv) fund the working capital needs and expenditures of the Debtors and their non-debtor affiliates during the pendency of the court supervised restructuring proceedings. Holders of the Company’s first lien term loan or first lien notes that wish to become a lender under the DIP Facility and that execute the restructuring support agreement prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on June 2, 2023 will be eligible to receive a participation premium of their pro rata portion of 10% of the new common shares of the Company that will be available for distribution to creditors under the plans.
The restructuring transactions remain subject to certain conditions, as well as the negotiation of further definitive agreements. The Company expects the restructuring transactions to be consummated in the third quarter of 2023. The terms of the restructuring support agreement contemplate that the common shares of the restructured Company will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

Statements that describe the Company’s future plans, objectives or goals are also forward-looking statements, which reflect the current views of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to assumptions, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. Although the Company believes that these forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions regarding, among other things, the economy, its knowledge of its business, and key performance indicators that impact the Company, these forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements.
