collectively with the Company,
as the Guarantors, and Wilmington Trust, National
Association, as trustee, or the
Trustee, and
as priority lien
collateral trustee, relating
to the issuance
by the Issuer
of $
400.0
principal amount of
9.250
% Senior Secured Notes due 2029, or the New Notes.
The New Notes were issued
at par and bear interest
at a rate of
9.250
% per annum. Interest on
the New Notes
is payable semi-annually in
arrears on April 1 and
October 1 of each year,
commencing April 1, 2025.
The New
Notes mature on October 1, 2029 and are senior secured
obligations of the Issuer.
The New
Notes are
guaranteed on
a senior
secured basis
by the
Company and
its wholly-owned
subsidiaries
(other than the Issuer) (subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens) and
secured by (i) a first-priority lien on
substantially all of assets of the Company and each Guarantor (other than accounts receivable and certain other
rights to payment, inventory, certain investment property,
certain general intangibles and commercial tort claims,
deposit
accounts,
securities
accounts
and
other
related
assets,
chattel
paper,
letter
of
credit
rights,
certain
insurance proceeds, intercompany indebtedness and certain other assets
related to the foregoing and proceeds
and
products
of
each
of
the
foregoing,
collectively,
the
“ABL
Priority
Collateral”,
and
other
rights
to
payment,
inventory,
intercompany
indebtedness,
certain
general
intangibles
and
commercial
tort
claims,
commodities
accounts, securities accounts and other related assets and products of
each of the foregoing, or, collectively, the
ABL Collateral), and
(ii) a second
priority lien on
the ABL Priority
Collateral, which is
junior to a
first-priority lien
for the benefit of the lenders and
other creditors under the Company’s asset-based revolving credit facility, dated
as of May 8, 2023, or the ABL Facility,
in each case, subject to certain exceptions and permitted
liens.
The Company used the net proceeds from the New Notes to redeem all of the Company’s
Existing Notes and to
pay related
fees and
expenses in connection
with the
offering of the
New Notes
and the
redemption of
the Existing
Notes, and the Company intends to use the remaining
net proceeds for general corporate purposes.
The terms
of the
New Notes
are governed
by the
Indenture. The
Indenture contains
customary covenants
for
high
yield
bonds,
including,
but
not
limited
to,
limitations
on
investments,
liens,
indebtedness,
asset
sales,
transactions with affiliates and restricted payments,
including payment of dividends on capital stock.
Upon the occurrence of
a “Change of Control”,
as defined in the
Indenture, the Issuer is
required to make an
offer
to
repurchase
the
New
Notes
at
101
%
of
the
aggregate
principal
amount
thereof,
plus
accrued
and
unpaid
interest, if any, to, but excluding, the repurchase
date. The Issuer also has the right to redeem the New Notes at
101
% of the
aggregate principal amount
thereof, plus accrued
and unpaid interest,
if any,
to, but excluding,
the
repurchase date, following the occurrence of
a Change of Control, provided that
the Issuer redeems at least
90
%
of the
New Notes
outstanding prior
to such
Change of
Control. Upon
the occurrence
of certain
changes in
tax
law (as described in the Indenture), the Issuer may redeem any of the New Notes at a redemption price equal to
100
% of the principal amount of the
New Notes to be redeemed plus accrued
and unpaid interest, if any,
to, but
excluding, the redemption date.
The Issuer may redeem any of
the New Notes beginning on October
1, 2026. The initial redemption price
of the
New Notes is
104.625
% of their principal amount,
plus accrued and unpaid interest,
if any,
to, but excluding the
redemption
date.
The
redemption
price
will
decline
each
year
after October
1,
2026, and
will
be
100
principal amount of the New Notes, plus accrued and
unpaid interest, beginning on October 1, 2028. The Issuer
may also redeem up to
40
% of the aggregate principal amount the New Notes on one or more occasions prior to
October 1, 2026 at a
price equal to
109.250
% of the principal amount thereof plus
a “make-whole” premium, plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
to, but excluding, the redemption date.
At any time and from
time to time on
or prior to October
1, 2026, the Issuer
may redeem in the
aggregate up to
40
% of the
original aggregate principal
amount of the
New Notes (calculated
after giving effect
to any issuance
of
additional
New
Notes)
with
the
net
cash
proceeds
of
certain
equity
offerings,
at
a
redemption
price
of
109.250
%, plus
accrued and
unpaid interest,
if any,
to, but
excluding, the
redemption date,
so long
as at
least
60
%
of
the
aggregate
principal
amount
of
the
New
Notes
(calculated
after
giving
effect
to
any
issuance
of
additional
New Notes)
issued
under
the Indenture
remains
outstanding
after
each
such
redemption
and
each
such redemption occurs within
120
days after the date of the closing of such equity
offering.
The
Indenture
contains
customary
events
of
default,
including
failure
to
make
required
payments,
failure
to
comply with certain agreements
or covenants, failure to
pay or acceleration of
certain other indebtedness, certain
events of
bankruptcy and
insolvency, and failure to
pay certain
judgments. An
event of
default under
the Indenture
will allow either the Trustee or the holders
of at least
25
% in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding
New Notes to accelerate, or
in certain cases, will automatically cause
the acceleration of, the amounts due
under
