Restructuring Support Agreement and Chapter 11

On March 16, 2020, the Company filed voluntary petitions for relief (collectively, the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, White Plains Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”) under the caption In re Internap Technology Solutions Inc. et al. The Chapter 11 Cases were filed after consultation between the Company and committee of certain holders of term loans (the “Ad Hoc Committee”) under the Company’s senior secured credit facility, regarding the restructuring of the Company’s capital structure. In connection with such consultations, the Company entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (the “RSA”) with holders (the “Consenting Lenders”) of approximately 77% of the Company’s outstanding term loans. As set forth in the RSA, including all exhibits, annexes and schedules attached thereto, the “Term Sheet”, the Company and Consenting Lenders agreed to the principal terms of a financial restructuring (the “Restructuring”) of the Company. The Restructuring is to be implemented through a prepackaged Chapter 11 plan of reorganization (the “Plan”).

The RSA contemplates a comprehensive deleveraging of the Company’s balance sheet. Specifically, the RSA and Term Sheet provide, in pertinent part, as follows:

The Company entered into debtor-in-possession financing structured as a delayed draw term loan (the “DIP Facility”) as discussed below.
The Company’s general unsecured creditors will be paid in full in the ordinary course of business.
The DIP Facility will convert into a priority exit facility (the “Priority Exit Facility”) upon the Company’s emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases. The Priority Exit Facility will have a 3-year maturity and bear interest at a rate of LIBOR + 1000 basis points payable in cash.
The Company will enter into a new term loan facility (the “New Term Loan Facility”) on the effective date of the Plan (the “Effective Date”). The New Term Loan Facility will provide for term loans in the principal amount of $225.0 million, mature 5 years after the Effective Date and bear interest at a rate of LIBOR + 650 basis points, 300 basis points of which will be paid in cash and 350 basis points will be paid in kind; provided that, at the election of the INAP board of directors post-Effective Date, 200 basis points of the LIBOR + 300 basis points cash interest may be payment in kind.
The lenders under the Credit Agreement dated April 6, 2017 by and among INAP, as borrower, certain of its subsidiaries as guarantors, Jefferies Finance LLC as administrative and collateral agent and the other lenders thereto (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) will receive 100% of the new common stock initially issued by reorganized INAP post-Effective Date.
Holders of existing INAP common stock will receive warrants to purchase 10% of the new equity of reorganized INAP (the “Warrants”); provided that such holders provide releases. The Warrants will have a strike price calculated to imply an equity value at which the holders of claims under the Credit Agreement recover their principal amount of indebtedness under the Credit Agreement plus prepetition interest on their allowed loan claims (plus amounts outstanding under the New Term Loan Facility).

The RSA includes certain milestones for the progress of the Chapter 11 Cases, which include the dates by which the Company is required to, among other things, obtain certain court orders and consummate the Restructuring.

Financing Arrangements

New Incremental Loans

On March 13, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to borrow $5.0 million of additional incremental term loans (the “New Incremental Loans”) under the Credit Agreement. The New Incremental Loans bear interest at a rate of LIBOR (with a 1.0% floor) + 1000 basis points.

Use of Proceeds The Company used the proceeds of the New Incremental Loans to, among other things, (i) fund the ordinary course payments, working capital needs and other expenditures of the Company in advance of and during the Chapter 11 Cases, (ii) pay certain fees, interest, payments and expenses related to the Chapter 11 Cases, and (iii) pay fees and expenses related to the transactions contemplated by the New Incremental Loans in accordance with such budget.

Priority.  Priority for the New Incremental Loans are pari passu with the existing term loans under the Credit Agreement.

Affirmative and Negative Covenants.  The New Incremental Loans are subject to the same as those under the Credit Agreement, as amended by the Eighth Amendment (as hereinafter defined).

Events of Default.  The events of default for the New Incremental Loans are the same as those under the Credit Agreement, as amended by the Eighth Amendment.

Maturity.  The New Incremental Loans will mature on the earliest of: (i) September 11, 2020; (ii) the sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets; (iii) the date of the consummation of the Plan or (iv) certain accelerations of the obligations under the Credit Agreement.

Incremental and Eighth Amendment to Credit Agreement

In connection with the New Incremental Loans, the Company entered into the Incremental and Eighth Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Eighth Amendment”) on March 13, 2020. The Eighth Amendment, among other things: (i) authorizes the incremental commitment for the New Incremental Loans under the Credit Agreement; (ii) grants additional security interests in favor of the lenders for the Company’s motor vehicles and outstanding equity interests of certain foreign subsidiaries; and (iii) adds Internap Technology Solutions Inc. as a party to the Credit Agreement.

In addition, the Eighth Amendment amended (i) the affirmative covenants to, among other things, require the Company to provide a cash receipt and disbursement budget and rolling 13-week forecasts of the same and to meet certain milestones with respect to the Chapter 11 Cases, including solicitation of the Plan, entry into the DIP Facility, and confirmation of the Plan by the Bankruptcy Court; and (ii) the negative covenants to, among other things: (A) further limit the debt the Company can borrow and repay; (B) eliminate the ability of the Company to incur liens for sale and leaseback transactions, incremental debt and equity interests and real property; (C) further limit the ability of the Company to make investments; (D) eliminate the ability of the Company to engage in mergers; (E) further limit dispositions and acquisitions of certain property; (F) eliminate the ability of the Company to pay dividends or make redemptions; (G) further limit the Company’s ability to engage in transactions with affiliates and (H) eliminate the leverage and interest coverage ratio covenants.

The Eighth Amendment further amended the events of default to provide that it will be an event of default for the New Incremental Loans if, among other things, the Company uses the proceeds from the New Incremental Loans in a manner outside of the budget, subject to certain variances or in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, or the Company supports a plan of reorganization or disclosure statement that does not repay the obligations as set forth in the RSA.

Event of Default

The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default that accelerated the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement, as a result of which the principal and interest due thereunder became immediately due and payable. The ability of the lenders to enforce such payment obligations under the Credit Agreement is automatically stayed as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, and the lenders’ rights of enforcement in respect of obligations under the Credit Agreement are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

DIP Facility

On March 19, 2020, the Company, entered into a Senior Secured Super-Priority Debtor-In-Possession Credit Agreement (the “DIP Facility”) with Jefferies Finance LLC (“Jefferies”), as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto (the “DIP Lenders”). On March 19, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an interim order (the “Interim Order”) to approve the DIP Facility and the parties entered into such DIP Facility on the terms approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

The DIP Facility provides for, among other things, term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $75.0 million, (including the roll up of $5.0 million of New Incremental Loans) under the Credit Agreement. All loans under the DIP Facility bear interest at a rate of either: (i) an applicable base rate plus 9% per annum or (ii) LIBOR (with a floor of 1%) plus 10% per annum.

Use of Proceeds. The Company anticipates using the proceeds of the DIP Facility to, among other things: (i) pay certain fees, interest, payments and expenses related to the Chapter 11 Cases; (ii) fund the working capital needs and expenditures of the Company during the Chapter 11 Cases; (iii) fund the Carve-Out (as defined below); and (iv) pay other related fees and expenses in accordance with budgets provided to the DIP Lenders.

Priority and Collateral. The DIP Lenders (subject to the Carve-Out as discussed below): (i) are entitled to joint and several super-priority administrative expense claim status in the Chapter 11 Cases; (ii) have a first priority lien on substantially all unencumbered assets of the Company; and (iii) have a priming first priority lien on any assets encumbered by the Credit Agreement. The Company’s obligations to the DIP Lenders and the liens and super-priority claims are subject in each case to a carve out (the “Carve-Out”) that accounts for certain administrative, court and legal fees payable in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases.

Affirmative and Negative Covenants. The DIP Facility contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including requiring the Company to provide to the DIP Lenders a budget for the use of the Company’s funds and the achievement of certain milestones for the Chapter 11 Cases, among other covenants customary in debtor-in-possession financings.

Events of Default. The DIP Facility contains certain events of default customary in debtor-in-possession financings, including: (i) the failure to pay loans made under the DIP Facility when due; (ii) appointment of a trustee, examiner or receiver in the Chapter 11 Cases; (iii) certain violations of the Restructuring Support Agreement dated March 13, 2020, between the Company and the lenders party thereto; and (iv) the failure of the Company to use the proceeds of the loans under the DIP Facility as set forth in the budget (subject to any approved variances).

Maturity. The DIP Facility will mature on the earliest of (i) September 16, 2020; (ii) the date on which the loans under the DIP Facility become due and payable, whether by acceleration or otherwise; (iii) the effective date of the Plan; (iv) the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company; (v) the first business day on which the order approving the DIP Facility by the Bankruptcy Court expires by its terms, unless a final order has been entered and become effective prior thereto; (vi) the conversion or dismissal of the Chapter 11 Cases; (vii) dismissal of any of the Chapter 11 Cases unless consented to by the DIP Lenders or (viii) the final order approving the DIP Facility by the Bankruptcy Court is vacated, terminated, rescinded, revoked, declared null and void or otherwise ceases to be in full force and effect.

Nasdaq Delisting

On March 17, 2020, INAP received a letter (the “Nasdaq Letter”) from the staff of the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) notifying INAP that, as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases and in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5101, 5110(b) and IM-5101-1, INAP’s common stock will be delisted from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”). The Nasdaq Letter stated that the Staff’s determination was based on: (i) the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases and associated public interest concerns raised by such Chapter 11 Cases; (ii) concerns regarding the residual equity interest of the existing listed securities holders; and (iii) concerns about INAP’s ability to sustain compliance with all requirements of continued listing on Nasdaq.

INAP elected not to appeal this determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel and the trading of the common stock was suspended at the opening of business on March 26, 2020, and a Form 25-NSE was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which removed the common stock from listing and registration on Nasdaq. INAP’s Common Stock is quoted on the Over-the-Counter (“OTC”) Market under the symbol “INAPQ.”
