Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings Or Relationships With Respect To Securities of The Issuer.

 

Restructuring Support Agreement

 

On November 12, 2024, the Issuer, the Reporting Shareholders and certain other stakeholders entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (together with all exhibits and schedules thereto, the “RSA”), including creditors holding over 80% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the unsecured convertible senior notes of the Issuer (the “Notes”). The RSA contemplates a comprehensive restructuring of the Issuer’s debt obligations and capital structure to be implemented through a prepackaged plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) to be implemented through the anticipated filing by the Issuer of a voluntary proceeding (the “Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case”) under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”).

 

 

Each of the Issuer and the Reporting Shareholders have made certain customary commitments and representations in the RSA. The Issuer has agreed, among other things, to support and take all commercially reasonable actions necessary and appropriate to facilitate the restructuring and meet milestones set forth in the RSA. The Reporting Shareholders have committed to the Issuer, among other things, to support and vote for the Plan and use their commercially reasonable efforts to consummate and complete the restructuring. The Reporting Shareholders have agreed not to transfer their Common Stock, except in limited circumstances, prior to the earlier of the termination of the RSA with respect to the Reporting Shareholders and the Plan Effective Date (as defined below).

 

The RSA contains milestones ("Milestones") relating to the progress of the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Case, which include, among other things, entry of an order by the Bankruptcy Court, confirming the Plan and approving the related disclosure statement no later than 60 days following the November 13, 2024 (the “Petition Date”) and the occurrence of the date on which the Plan has become effective in accordance with its terms (the “Plan Effective Date”) no later than 75 days following the Petition Date.

 

Each of the parties to the RSA may terminate the agreement (and thereby their support for the Plan) under certain limited circumstances, including, among other things: (i) in the case of the Issuer and the consenting holders of the Notes, the failure to meet the Milestones; (ii) the occurrence of certain breaches of the RSA; (iii) the mutual agreement of the parties; and (iv) in the case of the Issuer, if the board of directors, members, or managers, as applicable, of the Issuer reasonably determines in good faith and based upon advice of outside legal counsel that performance under the RSA would be inconsistent with its applicable fiduciary duties.

 

Consummation of the restructuring contemplated by the RSA is subject to approval of the Plan by the Bankruptcy Court and other conditions.

 

Under the Plan, each holder of any equity security or other ownership interest in the Issuer as in existence immediately before the Plan Effective Date, including the Reporting Shareholders, will receive, except to the extent that such holder agrees in writing to less favorable treatment, on the Effective Date, (i) its pro rata share of 7.06% of the new common stock to be issued by the reorganized Issuer (subject to dilution by certain warrants and equity awards), and (ii) the right to receive certain new warrants in an amount equal to its pro rata share of existing equity interests in the Issuer. 92.94% of the new common stock will be held by the current holders of the Notes.
