Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
The information set forth in Item 3 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference.
Chapter 11 Reorganization of Issuer
On November 17, 2017, the Issuer, Real Alloy Intermediate Holding, LLC (RAIH), Real Alloy Holding, Inc. (Real Alloy) and certain of Real Alloys wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries (collectively with RAIH and Real Alloy, the Real Alloy Debtors) filed voluntary petitions (the Chapter 11 Proceedings) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the Bankruptcy Court) seeking relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the Bankruptcy Code). On January 17, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the Issuers entry into a loan agreement and related ancillary documents with an affiliate of the Reporting Persons (the Affiliate DIP Lender) and each of the GS Purchasers pursuant to which such parties agreed to make a debtor-in-possession loan in the aggregate principal amount of $5.5 million to the Issuer on a senior secured superpriority basis (the DIP Financing). On March 1, 2018, the Issuer filed a plan of reorganization pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, and a disclosure statement with the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the Chapter 11 Proceedings. On March 29, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court approved the solicitation of the Issuers proposed plan of reorganization (the Proposed Plan) for the resolution of the outstanding claims against and interests in the Issuer and the accompanying proposed disclosure statement (as amended, the Disclosure Statement) with respect to the Proposed RI Plan. On May 2, 2018, the Issuer filed an amended plan of reorganization (as amended or revised, the Plan) with the Bankruptcy Court. The foregoing descriptions of the Plan and the Disclosure Statement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the contents of the Plan and the Disclosure Statement, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3 to this Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein by reference.
On May 2, 2018, following a confirmation hearing, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the Confirmation Order) confirming the Issuers Plan, which superseded the Proposed Plan in all respects. On May 8, 2018, the Issuer filed a revised version of the confirmed Plan in order to clarify a provision regarding the terms of the appointment of the members of the board of directors of the Issuer following the Effective Date.
Pursuant to the Plan, at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time (the Effective Time), on May 9, 2018 (the Effective Date), all issued and outstanding capital stock and options, warrants and other instruments convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for, any capital stock of the Issuer (other than the shares of Common Stock issued on the Effective Date pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement) were deemed cancelled pursuant to the terms of the Plan and the Confirmation Order. Immediately thereafter, shares of new Common Stock were deemed issued to the applicable holders of cancelled shares pursuant to the Plan at an effective ratio of 200 cancelled shares to one share of Common Stock; provided that, under the terms of the Plan and the Confirmation Order, holders of cancelled shares that would have received 100 shares of Common Stock or less were not entitled to receive any shares of Common Stock as of the Effective Time.
Pursuant to the Plan, the Issuer filed its Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the Amended Charter) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware which, among other things, (i) changed the name of the Issuer from Real Industry, Inc. to Elah Holdings, Inc., (ii) decreased the total number of authorized shares of capital stock to 2,500,000, consisting of 2,450,000 shares of Common Stock and 50,000 shares of preferred stock, (iii) provided for a classified board of directors, (iv) prohibited certain transfers of Common Stock without the prior approval of the Issuers board of directors in order to protect the Issuers net operating loss carryforwards, and (v) permitted the pursuit of business activities by the Issuers non-employee directors and stockholders and their respective affiliates that may overlap or compete with those business activities of the Issuer and waived the corporate opportunities doctrine with respect to such persons, subject to limited exceptions.

RECITALS
A. Aleris is a stockholder of the Company, which is a debtor in Chapter 11 cases (the Chapter 11 Cases) under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the U.S. Code by virtue of having filed a voluntary petition for relief in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.

C. Aleris may determine to distribute the shares of Company Common Stock it is expected to hold after the emergence of the Company from the Chapter 11 Cases to its stockholders on a pro rata basis (the Distribution).
D. If the Distribution occurs, Apollo is a stockholder of Aleris that would be entitled to participate in the Distribution.
E. If the Distribution occurs, Apollo desires to sell the minimum number of whole shares of Company Common Stock that would result in Apollo owning less than 4.9% of the then-outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, calculated based on the assumption that the only shares of Company Common Stock owned by Apollo are the shares of Company Common Stock it receives in the Distribution (such minimum number of whole shares that would result in ownership of less than 4.9% of the then-outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, the Excess Shares).
F. If the Distribution occurs, the Buyer has agreed to purchase the Excess Shares from Apollo and Apollo has agreed to sell the Excess Shares to the Buyer, for the Purchase Price (as defined below).

If, notwithstanding the Direction, record title to the Excess Shares is recorded in the name of Apollo for any reason, then Apollo shall transfer the Excess Shares to the Buyer.
Section 1.3 Closing. If the Distribution occurs and the conditions to the obligations of the Buyer and Aleris to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as set forth in Article V hereof are satisfied, the sale and purchase of the Excess Shares shall take place at a closing (the Closing) to be held electronically at 10:00 a.m., Central time, on the effective date of the Distribution (the Closing Date). At the Closing, (a) the Buyer shall deliver to Apollo an amount equal to the Purchase Price in immediately available funds, and (b) Aleris shall deliver to the Buyer evidence satisfactory to the Buyer of the transfer of the Excess Shares to the Buyer on behalf of Apollo.
Section 1.4 Deemed Distribution. If the Distribution occurs, then, notwithstanding that at the Closing Aleris shall assign and transfer the Excess Shares directly to the Buyer on Apollos behalf, the Excess Shares shall be deemed to have been distributed by Aleris to Apollo and then sold by Apollo to the Buyer for the Purchase Price. In no event shall Aleris have any liability or obligation in respect of effecting the assignment and transfer of Excess Shares to the Buyer as contemplated hereunder nor any liability if the Excess Shares are transferred to Apollo instead of the Buyer notwithstanding the Direction.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:
A. Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
Capital Contribution means, with respect to any Investor, the amount and/or agreed value of money, promissory obligations, property or services (if any) contributed or paid by such Investor or an Affiliate of such Investor to the Company or its Affiliates in exchange for Equity Securities of the Company or its subsidiaries.
Equity Securities means, with respect to any Person, any (i) membership interests or shares of capital stock, (ii) equity, ownership, voting, profit or participation interests or (iii) similar rights or securities in such Person or any of its subsidiaries, or any rights or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, options or other rights to acquire from such Person or any of its subsidiaries, or obligation on the part of such Person or any of its subsidiaries to issue, any of the foregoing.
Purchase Agreement means the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of the Effective Date, by and among the Company, the Other Investors and the other parties thereto, and any other securities purchase agreement entered into by the Other Investors and any other party on the Effective Date with respect to Equity Securities of the Company.
B. Certain Restrictions on the Other Investors. The Other Investors shall not (and shall cause their Affiliates not to) (i) make any Capital Contributions or (ii) otherwise (except as expressly contemplated under the Purchase Agreement) purchase any Equity Securities of the Company or its subsidiaries directly or indirectly from the Company or its subsidiaries (the transactions described in clauses (i) and (ii), the Triggering Transactions), unless the Oaktree Investors (including each of its respective Affiliates to which Equity Securities are transferred pursuant to paragraph C.2. hereof) then holding Equity Securities of the Company (the Rightholders) are (x) provided with at least ten (10) business days written notice prior to such proposed Triggering Transaction and (y) offered the pro rata right (but not the obligation), based on the applicable Rightholders percentage of issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company held at the time of its receipt of such prior written notice, to participate on the same price, terms and conditions upon which the applicable Other Investor or Affiliate thereof plans to consummate the applicable Triggering Transaction. Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such notice, each Rightholder may, in its sole discretion, deliver written notice to the Company electing to participate in such Triggering Transaction pursuant to this Agreement. If no such written notice is so delivered within such ten (10) Business Day period by a Rightholder, such Rightholder shall be deemed to have elected not to participate in such Triggering Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, a Triggering Transaction shall not include the issuance or award of Equity Securities under the Companys employee benefit plans or any Equity Securities of the Company or any of the Companys subsidiaries issued in connection with an acquisition.
C. General Provisions.
1. Miscellaneous. The provisions of Sections 11 (Notices), 12 (Entire Agreement), 13 (Successors and Assigns) (except as set forth herein), 14 (No Third-Party Beneficiaries), 15 (Headings), 17 (Severability), 19 (Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction), 20 (Waiver of Jury Trial), 21 (Counterparts) and 22 (Further Assurances) of the Stockholders Agreement shall apply to this Agreement mutatis mutandis.
2. Assignment.

Any Oaktree Investor effecting any such transfer shall notify the Company of such transfer within three (3) Business Days thereof.
3. Remedies. Each party hereto, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. Each party hereto acknowledges that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
4. Modification. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing signed by each of the parties hereto. No waiver by any party hereto at any time of any breach by any other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by any party which are not set forth expressly in this Agreement.
5. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate at such time as all of the Oaktree Investors first cease to hold any Equity Securities of the Company.
