Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer. |
The following disclosure is hereby added following the final paragraph of Item 6 of the Schedule 13D:
Waiver Letter
On August 9, 2015, the GSO Funds, the Issuer, the Borrower, certain other subsidiaries of the Issuer, and Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch (the “Administrative Agent”), entered into a waiver letter (the “Waiver Letter”) pursuant to which, among other things, the GSO Funds and the Administrative Agent, as applicable, waived certain provisions of the A&R Credit Agreement, the A&R Guaranty Agreement and the Subscription Agreement that prohibit, or would otherwise be triggered by, the closing (the “Merger Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated August 9, 2015 by and among CVR Partners, L.P. (“CVR”), Lux Merger Sub 1 LLC, Lux Merger Sub 2 LLC, RNF and Rentech Nitrogen GP, LLC.
Under the Waiver Letter, the parties have agreed that, at the Merger Closing, they will enter into certain agreements, including, among other things:
| • | | Second Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement: The parties will enter into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Second A&R Credit Agreement”) which will amend and restate the A&R Credit Agreement. The Second A&R Credit Agreement will provide for the repayment of $50,000,000 of outstanding Tranche A Loans with a number of common units in CVR equal to $50,000,000 divided by the product (the “Adjusted CVR Unit Price”) of the volume weighted average price per common unit on the NYSE for the 60-trading day period immediately preceding, but excluding, the day that is two trading days before the Merger Closing and 85%, and the Issuer will have the one time right to repurchase any or all of such common units for a price per common unit equal to the product of 150% and the Adjusted CVR Unit Price. The $18 million commitment for Tranche C Loans, which currently is undrawn under the A&R Credit Agreement, will be cancelled. The existing $45,000,000 of Tranche B Loans will remain outstanding but will bear interest at a rate equal to the greater of (i) LIBOR plus 7.00% per annum and (ii) 8.00% per annum. The requirement to pay a prepayment premium in connection with any voluntary prepayment of the facility will be removed. The obligations of the Borrower under the facility will continue to be unconditionally guaranteed by the A&R Guarantors. Such obligations also will (i) be secured by a pledge by the Borrower (in lieu of the pledge of common units in RNP that currently secure the A&R Credit Agreement) of common units of CVR having a fair market value as of the time immediately prior to the Merger Closing of $45,000,000 and (ii) continue to be secured by security interests in all assets of the Borrower, the Issuer and certain of its subsidiaries that currently secure the A&R Credit Agreement. All other terms and conditions of the Second A&R Credit Agreement, including affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, will be substantially the same as those in the A&R Credit Agreement. |
| • | | Second Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement: The parties will enter into a Second Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement (“Second A&R Guaranty”) which will amend and restate the A&R Guaranty. The Second A&R Guaranty will modify certain affirmative and negative covenants binding on the Issuer and its subsidiaries. |
| • | | Preferred Equity Exchange and Discharge Agreement: The parties will enter into a Preferred Equity Exchange and Discharge Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things: |
| • | | (i) the GSO Funds will exchange the Purchased Shares for a number of shares of Common Stock equal to $10,000,000 divided by the product of the volume weighted average price per share of Common Stock on the NASDAQ for the 60-trading day period immediately preceding, but excluding, the day that is two trading days before the Merger Closing and 85%, and for a number of common units of CVR equal to $90,000,000 divided by the Adjusted CVR Unit Price; |
| • | | (ii) the Issuer will have the right to repurchase any or all of such common units of CVR for a price per common unit equal to the product of 150% and the Adjusted CVR Unit Price; |
| • | | (iii) the A&R Put Option Agreements and the A&R Put Option Pledge Agreement will each terminate; |
| • | | (iv) subject to Nasdaq listing requirements, the GSO Funds will designate one person who will be appointed to the Board of Directors to serve until the first annual meeting the Issuer’s shareholders following the Merger Closing and, thereafter, for so long as the GSO Funds own, in the aggregate, at least 75% of the shares of Common Stock delivered under the Exchange Agreement, the GSO Funds will have the right to nominate an individual for election to the Board of Directors once every three years; and |
| • | | (v) the Issuer and the GSO Funds will amend and restate the A&R Registration Rights Agreement to provide the GSO Funds with registration rights in respect of the shares of Common Stock to be delivered to the GSO Funds under the Exchange Agreement. In addition, under the Waiver Letter, the Issuer has agreed to file, within thirty days following the initial filing with the Commission of the draft proxy statement relating to mergers contemplated by the Merger Agreement, a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Resale Registration Statement”) covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock and to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Resale Registration Statement to be declared effective within fifteen days following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement and to remain effective until such time as there are no longer any securities that need to be registered. If the Issuer files a registration statement for the offering of the Issuer’s Common Stock, the holders shall have right to request that some or all of their registrable securities be included in such offering. |
The description of the Waiver Letter and its exhibits and attachments contained in this Item 6 are not intended to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such agreements, each of which is filed as an exhibit hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
The GSO Funds have also notified the board of directors of the Issuer that, effective upon the Merger Closing, Mr. Ostrover will resign from the board of directors and Mr. Patrick Fleury, a Managing Director of GSO Capital Partners and/or its affiliates, will become the designee of the GSO Funds on the Issuer’s board of directors. Upon the effectiveness of his appointment to the board of directors of the Issuer, Mr. Fleury, in his capacity as a director, may have influence over the corporate activities of the Issuer, including activities which may relate to items described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
Item 7. | Material to be Filed as Exhibits. |
Item 7 of this Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following:
| | |
Exhibit T | | Waiver Letter, dated as of August 9, 2015, by and among the Issuer, the Borrower, certain other subsidiaries of the Issuer, the Administrative Agent and the GSO Funds (including, among others, (i) Form of Second Amended and Restated Term Loan Credit Agreement, (ii) Form of Second Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement, (iii) Form of Preferred Equity Exchange and Discharge Agreement and its exhibits, including, as Exhibit C, the form of the Second Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement). |
