2. REORGANIZATION

On August 2, 2019, the Company entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (the Restructuring Support Agreement) with certain holders of the Company’s 6.75% senior unsecured notes due 2025 (the Unsecured Senior Noteholders). On August 7, 2019, the Company filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Court to effect an accelerated prepackaged bankruptcy restructuring as contemplated in the Restructuring Support Agreement. The Company continued to operate its businesses as debtors-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. On September 24, 2019, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Plan and on October 8, 2019 (the Effective Date), the Company emerged from chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Pursuant to the terms of the Plan contemplated by the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Unsecured Senior Noteholders and other claim and interest holders received the following treatment in full and final satisfaction of their claims and interests:

·

borrowings outstanding under the Predecessor Credit Agreement, plus unpaid interest and fees, were repaid in full, in cash, including by a refinancing (refer to Note 8, “Long-Term Debt” for further details regarding the credit agreement);

·

the Unsecured Senior Noteholders received their pro rata share of 91% of the common stock of reorganized Battalion (New Common Shares), subject to dilution, issued pursuant to the Plan and participated in the Senior Noteholder Rights Offering (defined below);

·

the Company’s general unsecured claims were unimpaired and paid in full in the ordinary course; and

·

all of the Predecessor Company’s outstanding shares of common stock were cancelled and the existing common stockholders received their pro rata share of 9% of the New Common Shares issued pursuant to the Plan, subject to dilution, together with Warrants (defined below) to purchase common stock of reorganized Battalion and participated in the Existing Equity Interests Rights Offering (defined below and, collectively, the Existing Equity Total Consideration); provided, however, that registered holders of existing common stock with 2,000 shares or fewer of common stock received cash in an amount equal to the inherent value of such holder’s pro rata share of the Existing Equity Total Consideration (the Existing Equity Cash Out).

Each of the foregoing percentages of equity in the reorganized Company were as of October 8, 2019 and are subject to dilution by New Common Shares issued in connection with (i) a management incentive plan, (ii) the Warrants (defined below), (iii) the Equity Rights Offerings (defined below), and (iv) the Backstop Commitment Premium (defined below).

As a component of the Restructuring Support Agreement (i) certain Unsecured Senior Noteholders purchased their pro rata share of New Common Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $150.2 million (the Senior Noteholder Rights Offering) and (ii) certain existing common stockholders purchased their pro rata share of New Common Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $5.8 million (the Existing Equity Interests Rights Offering, and together with the Senior Noteholder Rights Offering, the Equity Rights Offerings), in each case, at a price per share equal to a 26% discount to the value of the New Common Shares based on an assumed total enterprise value of $425.0 million. Certain of the Unsecured Senior Noteholders backstopped the Senior Noteholder Rights Offering and received as consideration (the Backstop Commitment Premium) New Common Shares equal to 6% of the aggregate amount of the Senior Noteholder Rights Offering, subject to dilution by New Common Shares issued in connection with a management incentive plan and the Warrants. If the backstop agreement had been terminated, the Company would have been obligated to make a cash payment equal to 6% of the aggregate amount of the Senior Noteholder Rights Offering. The proceeds of the Equity Rights Offerings were used by the Company to (i) provide additional liquidity for working capital and general corporate purposes, (ii) pay reasonable and documented restructuring expenses, and (iii) fund Plan distributions.

Under the Restructuring Support Agreement, the existing common stockholders (subject to the Existing Equity Cash Out) were issued a series of warrants exercisable for cash for a three year period subsequent to the effective date of the Plan (Warrants). The Warrants were issued with strike prices based upon stipulated rate-of-return levels achieved by the Unsecured Senior Noteholders. The Warrants cumulatively represent 30% of the New Common Shares issued pursuant to the Plan.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

On the Effective Date, the Company and the other signatories thereto (the Demand Stockholders), entered into a registration rights agreement (the Registration Rights Agreement), pursuant to which, subject to certain conditions and limitations, the Company agreed to file with the SEC a registration statement concerning the resale of the registrable shares of  New Common Shares of the Company held by Demand Stockholders (the Registrable Securities), as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event later than the later to occur of (i) ninety (90) days after the Effective Date and (ii) a date specified by a written notice to the Company by Demand Stockholders holding at least a majority of the Registerable Securities, and thereafter to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as reasonably practicable. In addition, from time to time, the Demand Stockholders may request that additional Registrable Securities be registered for resale by the Company. Subject to certain limitations, the Demand Stockholders also have the right to request that the Company facilitate the resale of Registrable Securities pursuant to firm commitment underwritten public offerings. 

The Registration Rights Agreement contains other customary terms and conditions, including, without limitation, provisions with respect to suspensions of our registration obligations and indemnification.
