Chapter 11 Reorganization of Issuer

On November 17, 2017, the Issuer, Real Alloy Intermediate Holding, LLC (“RAIH”), Real Alloy Holding, Inc. (“Real Alloy”) and certain of Real Alloy’s wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries (collectively with RAIH and Real Alloy, the “Real Alloy Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions (the “Chapter 11 Proceedings”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) seeking relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). On January 17, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the Issuer’s entry into a loan agreement and related ancillary documents with an affiliate of the Reporting Persons (the “Affiliate DIP Lender”) and each of the GS Purchasers pursuant to which such parties agreed to make a debtor-in-possession loan in the aggregate principal amount of $5.5 million to the Issuer on a senior secured superpriority basis (the “DIP Financing”). On March 1, 2018, the Issuer filed a plan of reorganization pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, and a disclosure statement with the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the Chapter 11 Proceedings. On March 29, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court approved the solicitation of the Issuer’s proposed plan of reorganization (the “Proposed Plan”) for the resolution of the outstanding claims against and interests in the Issuer and the accompanying proposed disclosure statement (as amended, the “Disclosure Statement”) with respect to the Proposed RI Plan. On May 2, 2018, the Issuer filed an amended plan of reorganization (as amended or revised, the “Plan”) with the Bankruptcy Court. The foregoing descriptions of the Plan and the Disclosure Statement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the contents of the Plan and the Disclosure Statement, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3 to this Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein by reference.

On May 2, 2018, following a confirmation hearing, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the Issuer’s Plan, which superseded the Proposed Plan in all respects. On May 8, 2018, the Issuer filed a revised version of the confirmed Plan in order to clarify a provision regarding the terms of the appointment of the members of the board of directors of the Issuer following the Effective Date.

Pursuant to the Plan, at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time (the “Effective Time”), on May 9, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), all issued and outstanding capital stock and options, warrants and other instruments convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for, any capital stock of the Issuer (other than the shares of Common Stock issued on the Effective Date pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement) were deemed cancelled pursuant to the terms of the Plan and the Confirmation Order. Immediately thereafter, shares of new Common Stock were deemed issued to the applicable holders of cancelled shares pursuant to the Plan at an effective ratio of 200 cancelled shares to one share of Common Stock; provided that, under the terms of the Plan and the Confirmation Order, holders of cancelled shares that would have received 100 shares of Common Stock or less were not entitled to receive any shares of Common Stock as of the Effective Time.


Pursuant to the Plan, the Issuer filed its Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended Charter”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware which, among other things, (i) changed the name of the Issuer from “Real Industry, Inc.” to “Elah Holdings, Inc.”, (ii) decreased the total number of authorized shares of capital stock to 2,500,000, consisting of 2,450,000 shares of Common Stock and 50,000 shares of preferred stock, (iii) provided for a classified board of directors, (iv) prohibited certain transfers of Common Stock without the prior approval of the Issuer’s board of directors in order to protect the Issuer’s net operating loss carryforwards, and (v) permitted the pursuit of business activities by the Issuer’s non-employee directors and stockholders and their respective affiliates that may overlap or compete with those business activities of the Issuer and waived the corporate opportunities doctrine with respect to such persons, subject to limited exceptions. The Issuer also adopted the Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Amended Bylaws”). In addition, the Issuer also filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware that restated the rights, powers and preferences of the Issuer’s Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and decreased the total number of shares designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock to 5,000 (the “Certificate of Designation”). In connection with the Amended Charter, the Issuer filed a Certificate of Elimination with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to eliminate its previously authorized Series B Non-Participating Preferred Stock that was eliminated pursuant to the Plan (the “Certificate of Elimination”). Each of the Amended Charter, Amended Bylaws, Certificate of Designation and the Certificate of Elimination became effective on the Effective Date.

The foregoing descriptions of the Amended Charter, Amended Bylaws, the Certificate of Designation and the Certificate of Elimination do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the contents of the Amended Charter, Amended Bylaws, the Certificate of Designation and the Certificate of Elimination, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 99.4, 99.5, 99.6 and 99.7 to this Schedule 13D and is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the full amount of the outstanding loans under the DIP Financing made by the Affiliate DIP Lender and the GS Purchasers were applied to the purchase price paid by 210 Partners and the GS Purchasers, respectively. As a result, the cash portion of the purchase price paid by each of 210 Partners and the GS Purchasers for the Common Stock was reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by $2.76 million, or $5.52 million in the aggregate, and the agreement governing the DIP Financing was deemed satisfied and repaid in full.

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of May 9, 2018 (this “Agreement”), by and among 210/RELY Partners, LP, a Texas limited partnership (the “Buyer”), Aleris Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Aleris”), Apollo ALS Holdings II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Apollo”), and Elah Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

RECITALS

A. Aleris is a stockholder of the Company, which is a debtor in Chapter 11 cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the U.S. Code by virtue of having filed a voluntary petition for relief in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.

B. It is expected that Aleris, by virtue of being a stockholder of the Company, will receive shares of common stock of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) in connection with the emergence of the Company from the Chapter 11 Cases.

C. Aleris may determine to distribute the shares of Company Common Stock it is expected to hold after the emergence of the Company from the Chapter 11 Cases to its stockholders on a pro rata basis (the “Distribution”).

D. If the Distribution occurs, Apollo is a stockholder of Aleris that would be entitled to participate in the Distribution.

E. If the Distribution occurs, Apollo desires to sell the minimum number of whole shares of Company Common Stock that would result in Apollo owning less than 4.9% of the then-outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, calculated based on the assumption that the only shares of Company Common Stock owned by Apollo are the shares of Company Common Stock it receives in the Distribution (such minimum number of whole shares that would result in ownership of less than 4.9% of the then-outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, the “Excess Shares”).

F. If the Distribution occurs, the Buyer has agreed to purchase the Excess Shares from Apollo and Apollo has agreed to sell the Excess Shares to the Buyer, for the Purchase Price (as defined below).

AGREEMENT

In consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:


ARTICLE I

PURCHASE AND SALE

Section 1.1 Purchase and Sale of the Shares. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, if the Distribution occurs, Apollo shall sell, convey, assign, transfer and deliver the Excess Shares, free and clear of any charge, limitation, condition, mortgage, lien, security interest, adverse claim, encumbrance or restriction of any kind, to the Buyer for a purchase price of U.S.$48.33 per share (the aggregate amount of such purchase price for all of the Excess Shares being the “Purchase Price”) payable to Apollo. In no event shall Aleris or Apollo have any responsibility or liability in respect of determining or calculating the number of Excess Shares to be transferred hereunder.

Section 1.2 Directive Regarding Excess Shares. If the Distribution occurs, Apollo hereby directs Aleris to assign and transfer the Excess Shares directly to the Buyer in satisfaction of Apollo’s obligation hereunder to sell, convey, assign, transfer and deliver the Excess Shares to the Buyer (the “Direction”). Aleris agrees to make such assignment and transfer to the Buyer on Apollo’s behalf. If, notwithstanding the Direction, record title to the Excess Shares is recorded in the name of Apollo for any reason, then Apollo shall transfer the Excess Shares to the Buyer.

Section 1.3 Closing. If the Distribution occurs and the conditions to the obligations of the Buyer and Aleris to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as set forth in Article V hereof are satisfied, the sale and purchase of the Excess Shares shall take place at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held electronically at 10:00 a.m., Central time, on the effective date of the Distribution (the “Closing Date”). At the Closing, (a) the Buyer shall deliver to Apollo an amount equal to the Purchase Price in immediately available funds, and (b) Aleris shall deliver to the Buyer evidence satisfactory to the Buyer of the transfer of the Excess Shares to the Buyer on behalf of Apollo.

Section 1.4 Deemed Distribution. If the Distribution occurs, then, notwithstanding that at the Closing Aleris shall assign and transfer the Excess Shares directly to the Buyer on Apollo’s behalf, the Excess Shares shall be deemed to have been distributed by Aleris to Apollo and then sold by Apollo to the Buyer for the Purchase Price. In no event shall Aleris have any liability or obligation in respect of effecting the assignment and transfer of Excess Shares to the Buyer as contemplated hereunder nor any liability if the Excess Shares are transferred to Apollo instead of the Buyer notwithstanding the Direction.

The Other Investors shall not (and shall cause their Affiliates not to) (i) make any Capital Contributions or (ii) otherwise (except as expressly contemplated under the Purchase Agreement) purchase any Equity Securities of the Company or its subsidiaries directly or indirectly from the Company or its subsidiaries (the transactions described in clauses (i) and (ii), the “Triggering Transactions”), unless the Oaktree Investors (including each of its respective Affiliates to which Equity Securities are transferred pursuant to paragraph C.2. hereof) then holding Equity Securities of the Company (the “Rightholders”) are (x) provided with at least ten (10) business days’ written notice prior to such proposed Triggering Transaction and (y) offered the pro rata right (but not the obligation), based on the applicable Rightholder’s percentage of issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company held at the time of its receipt of such prior written notice, to participate on the same price, terms and conditions upon which the applicable Other Investor or Affiliate thereof plans to consummate the applicable Triggering Transaction. Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such notice, each Rightholder may, in its sole discretion, deliver written notice to the Company electing to participate in such Triggering Transaction pursuant to this Agreement. If no such written notice is so delivered within such ten (10) Business Day period by a Rightholder, such Rightholder shall be deemed to have elected not to participate in such Triggering Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, a Triggering Transaction shall not include the issuance or award of Equity Securities under the Company’s employee benefit plans or any Equity Securities of the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries issued in connection with an acquisition.

C. General Provisions.

1. Miscellaneous. The provisions of Sections 11 (Notices), 12 (Entire Agreement), 13 (Successors and Assigns) (except as set forth herein), 14 (No Third-Party Beneficiaries), 15 (Headings), 17 (Severability), 19 (Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction), 20 (Waiver of Jury Trial), 21 (Counterparts) and 22 (Further Assurances) of the Stockholders Agreement shall apply to this Agreement mutatis mutandis.

2. Assignment. The Oaktree Investors’ rights under this Agreement do not attach to their Equity Securities except with respect to, and only to the extent of, a transfer of Equity Securities to Affiliates of the Oaktree Investors (and only for so long as any such transferee remains an Affiliate of the Oaktree Investors), provided that any such transferee executes and delivers to the Company a joinder agreement pursuant to which such transferee agrees to be bound by the terms hereof as an Oaktree Investor hereunder. Any Oaktree Investor effecting any such transfer shall notify the Company of such transfer within three (3) Business Days thereof.

3. Remedies. Each party hereto, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. Each party hereto acknowledges that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

4. Modification. No provision of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to in writing signed by each of the parties hereto. No waiver by any party hereto at any time of any breach by any other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by any party which are not set forth expressly in this Agreement.

5. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate at such time as all of the Oaktree Investors first cease to hold any Equity Securities of the Company.
