On October 2, 2020, the Company announced the launch of an offer to eligible holders of its 7.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (the “Existing Notes”) to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) any and all of their Existing Notes for newly issued 8.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (the “New Notes”). The New Notes are secured (i) on a first priority basis by substantially all of the Company’s and certain subsidiary guarantors’ current and future property and assets other than certain property and assets securing the Company’s asset-backed revolving credit facility (such property and assets, “ABL Priority Collateral”) and (ii) on a second priority basis by the ABL Priority Collateral. Eligible holders who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Existing Notes in the Exchange Offer prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 16, 2020, were eligible to receive $1,000 in principal amount of New Notes plus $10.00 in cash per $1,000 principal amount of Existing Notes. For any Existing Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Date but before 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on October 30, 2020, were eligible to receive $1,000 in principal amount of New Notes plus $5.00 in cash per $1,000 principal amount of Existing Notes. The New Notes were offered to provide the Company with additional financial flexibility as the New Notes mature eight months after the Existing Notes are scheduled to mature. The New Notes will mature on December 15, 2022.

In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company also entered into an amendment to certain terms of its Unsecured Term Loan, dated December 4, 2018, by and among the Company, the Lenders party thereto from time to time and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Administrative Agent (the “2018 Credit Facility”), including the extension of the maturity date by 90 days which maturity is more than 90 days after the maturity date of the New Notes.

In conjunction with the Exchange Offer, the Company also solicited consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) from holders of the Existing Notes (the “Consents”) to certain proposed amendments to the indenture governing the Existing Notes (the “Existing Notes Indenture”), by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, Wilmington Trust National Association, as trustee and as collateral agent, to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain of the default provisions contained in the Existing Notes Indenture and to enter into a new intercreditor agreement among the Company, the trustee for the New Notes, the trustee for the Existing Notes, the collateral agent for the New Notes and the collateral agent for the Existing Notes (collectively, the “Proposed Amendments”).

The consummation of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation was subject to customary conditions, including the receipt of Consents from at least 90% of the eligible holders and the satisfaction or waiver of other conditions set forth in the offering memorandum and consent solicitation statement prepared by the Company in connection with the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation.

On October 19, 2020, the Company announced the early tender results of the Exchange Offer.  Based on the early tenders as of 5:00 p.m. on the Early Tender Date, eligible holders had validly tendered and not validly withdrawn $347.0 million aggregate principal amount, representing 99.15% of the outstanding principal amount, of the Existing Notes in the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation. 

As of the expiration date, October 30, 2020, an aggregate of $347.0 million principal amount of Existing Notes were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn. Eligible holders who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Existing Notes received the early participation payments and accrued and unpaid interest in cash on their Existing Notes accepted for exchange to, but not including, the Settlement Date for the Exchange Offer. In connection with the settlement of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, on November 9, 2020, the Company issued $347,016,000 aggregate principal amount of the New Notes.

Further information concerning the Exchange Offer and the results can be found in the Current Reports on Form 8-K dated October 2, 2020, October 19, 2020, and November 9, 2020, as on file with the SEC.
