Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer. |
Item 6 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
As more fully described in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 31, 2012, on December 30, 2012 the Issuer entered into an
Investment Agreement (the Investment Agreement) with Colony Capital, LLC and its affiliate, Col-L Acquisition, LLC (Colony), and certain other investors, including PAR Investment Partners, pursuant to which Colony and such other investors will invest an aggregate of $60 million of new capital (the New Capital) in the Company, with an option to invest up to an additional $30 million, to support a proposed recapitalization of the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement, PAR Investment Partners agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Investment Agreement, to invest an amount equal to one-third of the New Capital. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement is subject to various closing conditions, including, among others, bankruptcy court confirmation of a pre-packaged plan or reorganization contemplated by the Investment Agreement, the Issuers satisfaction of a minimum liquidity test, execution of a new satellite agreement with DirecTV LLC (DIRECTV), the negotiation and execution of a new credit facility pursuant to the terms of an agreed upon term sheet and in form and substance satisfactory to Colony, obtaining a new revolving credit facility, and other typical closing conditions.
In addition, PAR Investment Partners has entered into cash settled equity swap and other similar derivatives transactions and contracts with one or more counterparties, the value of which is based in whole or in part on the value of the Issuers securities. PAR Investment Partners has modified, added to and/or unwound certain of such contracts, and expects to do so in the future. The profit and loss on such contracts is wholly or partially referenced to, and therefore calculated based on, the market value of the Issuers securities, the relative value of such securities in comparison to one or more other financial instruments, indexes or securities, a basket or group of securities in which the Issuers securities may be included, or a combination of any of the foregoing. The equity swap contracts described above do not, and will not at any time, give the Reporting Persons voting or investment power over any Issuer securities referenced therein. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership in any Issuer securities that may be referenced in such contracts or that may be held from time to time by any counterparties to such contracts.
Except as described in Item 4 and this Item 6, none of the Reporting Persons has any contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship (legal or otherwise) with any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to, any contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship concerning the transfer or voting of any securities of the Issuer, finders fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guaranties of profits, division of profits or loss or the giving or withholding of proxies.
