As previously disclosed, on December 2, 2019, KCA delivered a non-binding and preliminary proposal (the “December Proposal”) to the Issuer’s board of directors relating to a potential recapitalization of the Issuer and/or deleveraging transaction. Discussions regarding the December Proposal have shifted from a take private

 

transaction to a reorganization of the Issuer in which no assurances can be given that holders of the Issuer’s common stock will receive any consideration and in the event that holders receive consideration, no assurances can be given as to the amount of any such consideration.  No assurances can be given that a reorganization or any such alternative transaction will be agreed upon or consummated. There is no binding obligation on the part of the Issuer or KCA with respect to any transaction and neither the Issuer nor KCA is obligated to complete any transaction, and a binding commitment with respect to any transaction will result only from the execution and delivery of definitive documentation, and satisfaction of applicable closing conditions.

 

If any transaction is completed, one or more of the transactions, events or actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D may result, including, without limitation, an acquisition of additional securities of the Issuer, an extraordinary corporate transaction (such as a reorganization or merger) involving the Issuer, other material changes in the Issuer’s business, or corporate structure, and the shares of Common Stock would become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Act and would be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange.

The Reporting Persons expect to continue to engage in discussions with management, the Board, the Issuer’s various stakeholders, potential debt and equity financing sources, and other relevant parties and may take other actions concerning any extraordinary corporate transaction (including but not limited to a reorganization or merger) or the business, operations, assets, strategy, future plans, prospects, corporate structure, board composition, governance, management, capitalization, dividend policy, charter, bylaws, corporate documents, agreements, de-listing, or de-registration of the Issuer, which discussions may include proposing or considering proposals and counterproposals. Except as indicated above, none of the Reporting Persons currently have any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any other action specified in Items 4(a) to (j) of Schedule 13D. Although the foregoing reflects activities presently contemplated by the Reporting Persons, the foregoing is subject to change at any time, and the Reporting Persons reserve their right to change their plans and intentions with respect to the Issuer, including in connection with any of the actions discussed in this Item 4, including, among others, any terms related to any revised proposal. Any action taken by the Reporting Persons may be effected at any time and from time to time, subject to any applicable limitations imposed by any applicable laws.
