This Amendment No. 2 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D Filing. Except as otherwise specified in this Amendment No. 2, all previous Items are unchanged. Unless otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 2 shall have the same meanings as are ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D Filing.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
As described by the Issuer in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 7, 2020 (the “Issuer 8-K”), on April 7, 2020, the Issuer and certain of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code with the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) to implement the financial restructuring of the Issuer (the “Restructuring”). In connection with the Restructuring, on April 6, 2020, the Issuer and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a restructuring support agreement (together with all exhibits and schedules thereto, the “Restructuring Support Agreement”) with (i) the lenders, including an affiliate of DKCM, (a) who constitute more than a majority in number of the lenders under the outstanding term loan facility (the loans thereunder, the “Term Loans”) and the outstanding revolving loan facility (the loans thereunder, the “Revolving Loans”, and together with the Term Loans, the “First Lien Loans”) under that certain credit agreement (the “Senior Secured Credit Agreement”), dated as of April 29, 2016, by and among the Issuer, as borrower, each of the guarantors named therein, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent for the lenders under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, and (b) who hold at least two-thirds of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the First Lien Loans (the “Consenting First Lien Lenders”), and (ii) the holders, including CO, DKP, DKIP, DKIL, DKDOF, DKDOI and certain other affiliates of DKCM, (x) who constitute a majority in number of the holders of the $400,000,000 aggregate outstanding principal amount of 11.625% senior notes due 2023 issued by the Issuer (the “Senior Notes”) and (y) who hold at least two-thirds of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Senior Notes (the “Consenting Noteholders”, and collectively with the Consenting First Lien Lenders, the “Consenting Stakeholders”).
Pursuant to the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Consenting Stakeholders have agreed to support a financing reorganization of the Issuer consistent with the terms and conditions set forth in the Restructuring Support Agreement. The Issuer 8-K describes material terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement, including that, upon successful completion of the Restructuring, holders of the Senior Notes will receive, in exchange for the discharge, termination and release of the Senior Notes, (i) 100% of the new common stock (the “New Common Stock”) of the Issuer as reorganized (the “Reorganized QHC”) after the conclusion of its Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases, subject to dilution for certain issuances of New Common Stock, including, without limitation, the transactions contemplated pursuant to the Equity Commitment Agreement (as described below) and (ii) beneficial interests in a new litigation trust established for the benefit of holders of claims under Senior Notes. Further, each holder of Term Loans will receive its pro rata share of: (i) $50 million to $100 million in cash, as determined by the holders of at least 50% of the aggregate commitment amounts of all commitment parties party to the Equity Commitment Agreement; and (ii) a senior secured exit term loan facility, as further described in the Issuer 8-K.
On April 6, 2020, the Issuer and certain of the Consenting Noteholders, including CO, DKP, DKIP, DKIL, DKDOF, DKDOI and certain other affiliates of DKCM, entered into an Equity Commitment Agreement (the “Equity Commitment Agreement”) under which such Consenting Noteholders (the “Equity Commitment Parties”) have agreed to commit at least $200 million (which amount may be increased to $250 million under certain circumstances) (the “Equity Commitment Aggregate Amount”) in new funds to purchase shares of new common stock of the Reorganized QHC (the “New Common Equity Raise”). Additionally, the Reorganized QHC will issue to the Equity Commitment Parties shares of new common stock in an amount equal to 7.5% of the Equity Commitment Aggregate Amount, issued at an equity commitment premium price per share equal to $10.00.
Pursuant to the Restructuring, if the Restructuring is approved by the Bankruptcy Court, all common stock of the Issuer, including the common stock currently beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, will be cancelled.
The Restructuring Support Agreement contain certain additional covenants, conditions and milestones and the Restructuring remains subject to the requisite vote of creditors and approval of the Bankruptcy Court. The Restructuring Support Agreement may also be terminated by the parties thereto upon the occurrence of certain events as discussed in further detail in the Issuer 8-K, including relief being granted by the Bankruptcy Court that is inconsistent with any definitive restructuring document or the failure to satisfy one or more milestones set forth in the Restructuring Support Agreement. As of the date hereof, the Restructuring has not been approved by the Bankruptcy Court. The summary of the Restructuring, therefore, may not reflect the definitive versions of these agreements and transactions and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the definitive agreements and transactions, as approved by the Bankruptcy Court.
The foregoing descriptions of the Restructuring Support Agreement and the Equity Commitment Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the agreements, filed as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
