Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Plan Support Agreement

On August 24, 2016, Key Energy Services, Inc. (“Key”) and certain of its subsidiaries (together with Key, the “Company”), entered into a plan support agreement (the “Plan Support Agreement”) with Platinum Equity and certain of the other holders (the “Supporting Noteholders”) of its 6.75% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Senior Notes”), representing an aggregate of 89.1% in principal amount of the Senior Notes and with certain of the lenders (the “Supporting Term Lenders,” and together with the Supporting Noteholders, the “Supporting Creditors”) under Key’s Term Loan Credit Agreement dated June 1, 2015 (the “Term Loans”), representing an aggregate of 87.9% of the principal amount of loans outstanding thereunder. The Plan Support Agreement contemplates the financial reorganization of the Company pursuant to a prepackaged plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) and that the Company will file for voluntary relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) on or before November 8, 2016 in order to confirm the Plan.

The Plan Support Agreement contemplates that Key will remain a public company and that the Senior Notes and all existing Key equity interests will be cancelled and each holder of Senior Notes shall receive such holder’s pro rata share of 5,000,000 shares of common stock of reorganized Key. In addition, (i) certain qualifying holders of Senior Notes and certain qualifying equity holders will be offered rights to purchase up to 95% and 5%, respectively, of the common stock of reorganized Key to be offered in an $85,000,000 rights offering, which rights offering may be increased based on the liquidity of reorganized Key, and (ii) Key equity holders will receive a ratable portion of (a) 543,927 shares of common stock of reorganized Key and (b) warrants to purchase a number of shares of common stock of reorganized Key that will be determined at a later date, but prior to Key’s emergence from bankruptcy. Holders of Key’s common stock will also be eligible to elect to participate in a potential cash-out option under the Plan, which may be funded by Key equity holders that participate in the rights offering described above. Upon confirmation of the Plan, holders of the Senior Notes are expected to own approximately 95% of the common stock of reorganized Key and holders of Key’s equity interests are expected to own approximately 5% of the common stock of reorganized Key, in each case subject to (a) the results of the rights offering referred to above, (b) the exercise of the warrants referred to above, (c) shares issued to certain parties to the Plan Support Agreement that also have committed to backstop the full amount of the rights offering and (d) potential further dilution as a result of a new proposed management incentive plan.

The Plan Support Agreement contemplates that each holder of the Term Loans will receive its pro rata share of (i) an immediate payment of approximately $10 million to be applied against principal and accrued interest; (ii) an additional payment upon consummation of the plan to reduce the outstanding balance of Terms Loans to $250 million and (iii) $250 million in principal amount of new term loans under an amended term loan credit agreement.

The Plan Support Agreement contains certain covenants on the part of the Company and the Supporting Creditors, including that the Supporting Creditors vote in favor of the Plan and otherwise facilitate the restructuring transaction and forbear from exercising remedies against the


Company in respect of certain defaults that may occur prior to implementation of the Plan. The Plan Support Agreement also provides for customary conditions to the obligations of the parties and for termination by each party upon the occurrence of certain events, including without limitation the failure of the Company to achieve certain milestones.

The foregoing is a summary and reference is made to the Plan Support Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference, for a complete description of its terms.

Limited Consent and Second Amendment to Loan Agreement

On August 24, 2016, in connection with entering into the Plan Support Agreement, the Company entered into the Limited Consent and Second Amendment to Loan and Amendment No. 3 to Limited Consent to Loan Agreement and Forbearance Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) in connection with its revolving credit facility pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement dated June 1, 2015 (the “ABL Facility”). Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) consented to the term loan payment described above and agreed to forbear from exercising remedies with respect to certain defaults expected to occur under the ABL Facility prior to implementation of the Plan, including defaults in respect of the minimum liquidity covenant contained therein. Additionally, the Second Amendment terminated the Lenders’ commitments under the ABL Facility to make any further extensions of credit, although letters of credit outstanding under the ABL Facility as of such date will remain outstanding and may be extended pursuant to the terms of the Second Amendment. As a result, the Company will no longer have access to the liquidity provided by the ABL Facility.

The foregoing is a summary and reference is made to the Second Amendment, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.2, and the Cash Collateral Term Sheet, which is filed as an exhibit to the Plan Support Agreement, each of which is incorporated herein by reference, for a complete description of its terms.

 

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On August 24, 2016, the Board of Directors of Key adopted an amendment to Key’s Ninth Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “NOL Protective Amendment”) to impose certain restrictions on transfers of shares of Key’s common stock in order to seek to assist in the preservation of Key’s ability to use its net operating losses (“NOLs”), as defined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The benefits of Key’s NOLs would be reduced, and its use of the NOLs could be compromised if Key undergoes an “ownership change” as determined under Section 382 of the Code. The amendment is designed to prevent transfers of shares of Key’s common stock that could result in an ownership change.

The NOL Protective Amendment’s transfer restrictions generally prohibit any direct or indirect transfer of Key’s common stock if the effect would be to increase the direct or indirect ownership of any person from less than 4.9% to 4.9% or more of Key’s common stock, or increase the ownership percentage of a person owning or deemed to own 4.9% or more of Key’s common stock. Any direct or indirect transfer attempted in violation of this restriction would be void as of the date of the prohibited transfer. The NOL Protective Amendment is subject to certain


exceptions and permits Key’s Board of Directors to approve transfers of Key’s common stock that would otherwise violate the transfer restrictions in the NOL Protective Amendment if it determines that approval is in the best interests of Key.

The foregoing description of the NOL Protective Amendment is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the NOL Protective Amendment, which is contained in a new Article XI of Key’s Ninth Amended and Restated Bylaws, and is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

Press Release

Attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K is a copy of Key’s press release dated August 24, 2016 announcing the Company’s entry into the Plan Support Agreement.

Disclosure Pursuant to Confidentiality Agreements

In April 2016, Key executed confidentiality agreements with certain of the Supporting Creditors to facilitate discussions with the Supporting Creditors concerning Key’s financial reorganization (the “Restructuring”). Pursuant to the confidentiality agreements, Key agreed to disclose publicly, under certain circumstances, certain confidential information concerning Key that Key has provided to the Supporting Creditors. The information furnished as Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Forecast”) is being furnished, in part, to satisfy Key’s public disclosure obligations under certain of the confidentiality agreements.

Key generally does not publicly disclose detailed prospective financial information. However, in connection with its discussions with the Supporting Creditors, Key provided certain financial and other information, including the Forecast, to the Supporting Creditors and their respective advisors pursuant to confidentiality agreements.

Management of Key prepared the Forecast from certain internal financial projections based on expectations, beliefs, opinions, and assumptions of Key’s management that Key’s management believed were reasonable at the time they were made. Such expectations, beliefs, opinions, and assumptions may not be appropriate as of the date hereof in light of developments in Key’s business and the broader market for oil and natural gas and related services. Key cannot provide assurance that the financial projections will be realized; rather, actual future financial results are likely to vary materially from the forward-looking information presented or incorporated by reference herein. The Forecast was not prepared with a view towards public disclosure and were not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or published guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of “prospective financial information.”

The furnishing of the Forecast should not be regarded as an indication that Key or any other person considered, or now consider, this information to be predictive of actual future results, and does not constitute an admission or representation by any person that such information is material, or that the expectations, beliefs, opinions, and assumptions that underlie such Forecast remain the same as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the prospective financial information.


Neither the independent auditor of Key nor any other independent accountant has examined, compiled, or performed any procedures with respect to the Forecast. Accordingly, none has expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability and none assumes any responsibility for the Forecast.

The Forecast:

 

    is speculative by its nature and was based upon numerous expectations, beliefs, opinions, and assumptions which are inherently uncertain and many of which are beyond the control of Key and its subsidiaries and which may not prove to be accurate;

 

    does not necessarily reflect current estimates or expectations, beliefs, opinions, or assumptions that the management of Key may have about prospects for Key and its subsidiaries’ businesses, changes in general business or economic conditions, or any other transaction or event that has occurred or that may occur and that was not anticipated at the time the information was prepared;

 

    may not reflect current results or future performance, which may be significantly more favorable or less favorable than as set forth in such information; and

 

    is not, and should not be regarded as, a representation that any of the expectations contained in, or forming a part of, the Forecast will be achieved.

Except as required by law, Key does not currently intend to update or revise publicly the Forecast to reflect circumstances or other events occurring after the date thereof or to reflect the occurrence of future events. These considerations should be taken into account in reviewing the Forecast, which was prepared as of an earlier date. For additional information on factors that may cause actual future financial results to vary materially from the information presented herein, see the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below.

The information contained in this Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.1 hereto is furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

Annual Meeting

Key previously disclosed that it intended to hold its 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on Thursday, November 17, 2016. In light of Key’s expected financial reorganization pursuant to the Plan, Key has determined to postpone the 2016 Annual Meeting.


Additional Risk Factors

Additional risk factors related to the Plan Support Agreement and the Company’s financial reorganization are set forth on Exhibit 99.4 and incorporated herein by reference.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements that are not historical in nature or that relate to future events and conditions are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. These statements are only predictions and are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties and are not guarantees of performance. Future actions, events and conditions and future results of operations may differ materially from those expressed in these statements.

Important factors that may affect Key’s expectations, estimates or projections include, but are not limited to, the following: risks associated with Key’s reorganization; the ability of Key to implement the Plan in Bankruptcy Court; conditions in the oil and natural gas industry, especially oil and natural gas prices and capital expenditures by oil and natural gas companies; volatility in oil and natural gas prices; Key’s ability to implement price increases or maintain pricing on its core services; industry capacity; increased labor costs or unavailability of skilled workers; asset impairments or other charges; the periodic low demand for Key’s services and resulting operating losses and negative cash flows; Key’s highly competitive industry as well as operating risks, which are primarily self-insured, and the possibility that its insurance may not be adequate to cover all of its losses or liabilities; the economic, political and social instability risks of doing business in certain foreign countries; significant costs and potential liabilities resulting from compliance with applicable laws; Key’s historically high employee turnover rate and its ability to replace or add workers; Key’s ability to incur debt or long-term lease obligations; Key’s ability to implement technological developments and enhancements; significant costs and liabilities resulting from environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including those relating to hydraulic fracturing; severe weather impacts on Key’s business; Key’s ability to successfully identify, make and integrate acquisitions and its ability to finance future growth of its operations or future acquisitions; the loss of one or more of Key’s larger customers; the impact of compliance with climate change legislation or initiatives; Key’s ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet debt service obligations; the amount of Key’s debt and the limitations imposed by the covenants in the agreements governing its debt, including its ability to comply with covenants under its current debt agreements; an increase in Key’s debt service obligations due to variable rate indebtedness; Key’s inability to achieve its financial, capital expenditure and operational projections, including quarterly and annual projections of revenue and/or operating income and its inaccurate assessment of future activity levels, customer demand, and pricing stability which may not materialize (whether for Key as a whole or for geographic regions and/or business segments individually); Key’s ability to execute its plans to withdraw from international markets outside North America; Key’s ability to achieve the benefits expected from acquisition and disposition transactions; Key’s ability to respond to changing or declining market conditions, including Key’s ability to reduce the costs of labor, fuel, equipment and supplies employed and used in its businesses; Key’s ability to maintain sufficient liquidity; the terms and conditions of any strategic transaction or alternative


undertaken to restructure or refinance Key’s indebtedness; and other factors affecting Key’s business described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and its other filings with the SEC including Exhibit 99.4 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

In order to preserve the Tax Benefits, from and after the Effective Date of this Article XI any attempted Transfer of Corporation Securities prior to the Expiration Date and any attempted Transfer of Corporation Securities pursuant to an agreement entered into prior to the Expiration Date, shall be prohibited and void  ab initio  to the extent that, as a result of such Transfer (or any series of Transfers of which such Transfer is a part), either (i) any Person or Persons would become a 4.9-percent Stockholder or (ii) the Percentage Stock Ownership in the Corporation of any 4.9-percent Stockholder would be increased.

Section 3.  Exceptions .

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Transfers to a Public Group (including a new Public Group created under Treasury Regulation § 1.382-2T(j)(3)(i)) shall be permitted.

(b) The restrictions set forth in Section 2 of this Article XI shall not apply to an attempted Transfer that is a 4.9-percent Transaction if the transferor or the Transferee obtains the written approval of the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof. As a condition to granting its approval pursuant to this Section 3 of Article XI, the Board of Directors, may, in its discretion, require (at the expense of the transferor and/or transferee) an opinion of counsel selected by the Board of Directors that the Transfer shall not result in the application of


any Section 382 of the Code limitation on the use of the Tax Benefits; provided that the Board may grant such approval notwithstanding the effect of such approval on the Tax Benefits if it determines that the approval is in the best interests of the Corporation. The Board of Directors may impose any conditions that it deems reasonable and appropriate in connection with such approval, including, without limitation, restrictions on the ability of any Transferee to Transfer Stock acquired through a Transfer. Approvals of the Board of Directors hereunder may be given prospectively or retroactively. The Board of Directors, to the fullest extent permitted by law, may exercise the authority granted by this Article XI through duly authorized officers or agents of the Corporation. Nothing in this Section 3 of this Article XI shall be construed to limit or restrict the Board of Directors in the exercise of its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

Section 4.  Excess Securities .

(a) No employee or agent of the Corporation shall record any Prohibited Transfer, and the purported transferee of such a Prohibited Transfer (the  “Purported Transferee” ) shall not be recognized as a stockholder of the Corporation for any purpose whatsoever in respect of the Corporation Securities which are the subject of the Prohibited Transfer (the  “Excess Securities” ). Until the Excess Securities are acquired by another person in a Transfer that is not a Prohibited Transfer, the Purported Transferee shall not be entitled with respect to such Excess Securities to any rights of stockholders of the Corporation, including, without limitation, the right to vote such Excess Securities and to receive dividends or distributions, whether liquidating or otherwise, in respect thereof, if any, and the Excess Securities shall be deemed to remain with the transferor unless and until the Excess Securities are transferred to the Agent pursuant to Section 5 of this Article XI or until an approval is obtained under Section 3 of this Article XI. After the Excess Securities have been acquired in a Transfer that is not a Prohibited Transfer, the Corporation Securities shall cease to be Excess Securities. For this purpose, any Transfer of Excess Securities not in accordance with the provisions of Sections 4 or 5 of this Article XI shall also be a Prohibited Transfer.

(b) The Corporation may require as a condition to the registration of the Transfer of any Corporation Securities or the payment of any distribution on any Corporation Securities that the proposed Transferee or payee furnish to the Corporation all information reasonably requested by the Corporation with respect to its direct or indirect ownership interests in such Corporation Securities. The Corporation may make such arrangements or issue such instructions to its stock transfer agent as may be determined by the Board of Directors to be necessary or advisable to implement this Article XI, including, without limitation, authorizing such transfer agent to require an affidavit from a Purported Transferee regarding such Person’s actual and constructive ownership of stock and other evidence that a Transfer will not be prohibited by this Article XI as a condition to registering any transfer.

Section 5.  Transfer to Agent .

If the Board of Directors determines that a Transfer of Corporation Securities constitutes a Prohibited Transfer then, upon written demand by the Corporation sent within thirty days of the date on which the Board of Directors determines that the attempted Transfer would result in Excess Securities, the Purported Transferee shall transfer or cause to be transferred any certificate or other evidence of ownership of the Excess Securities within the Purported


Transferee’s possession or control, together with any Prohibited Distributions, to an agent designated by the Board of Directors (the  “Agent” ). The Agent shall thereupon sell to a buyer or buyers, which may include the Corporation, the Excess Securities transferred to it in one or more arm’s-length transactions (on the public securities market on which such Excess Securities are traded, if possible, or otherwise privately);  provided, however , that any such sale must not constitute a Prohibited Transfer and  provided, further,   that the Agent shall effect such sale or sales in an orderly fashion and shall not be required to effect any such sale within any specific time frame if, in the Agent’s discretion, such sale or sales would disrupt the market for the Corporation Securities or otherwise would adversely affect the value of the Corporation Securities. If the Purported Transferee has resold the Excess Securities before receiving the Corporation’s demand to surrender Excess Securities to the Agent, the Purported Transferee shall be deemed to have sold the Excess Securities for the Agent, and shall be required to transfer to the Agent any Prohibited Distributions and proceeds of such sale, except to the extent that the Corporation grants written permission to the Purported Transferee to retain a portion of such sales proceeds not exceeding the amount that the Purported Transferee would have received from the Agent pursuant to Section 6 of this Article XI if the Agent rather than the Purported Transferee had resold the Excess Securities.

Section 6.  Application of Proceeds and Prohibited Distributions .

The Agent shall apply any proceeds of a sale by it of Excess Securities and, if the Purported Transferee has previously resold the Excess Securities, any amounts received by it from a Purported Transferee, together, in either case, with any Prohibited Distributions, as follows: (a) first, such amounts shall be paid to the Agent to the extent necessary to cover its costs and expenses incurred in connection with its duties hereunder; (b) second, any remaining amounts shall be paid to the Purported Transferee, up to the amount paid by the Purported Transferee for the Excess Securities (or the fair market value at the time of the Transfer, in the event the purported Transfer of the Excess Securities was, in whole or in part, a gift, inheritance or similar Transfer) which amount shall be determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors; and (c) third, any remaining amounts shall be paid to one or more organizations qualifying under section 501(c)(3) of the Code (or any comparable successor provision) selected by the Board of Directors. The Purported Transferee of Excess Securities shall have no claim, cause of action or any other recourse whatsoever against any transferor of Excess Securities. The Purported Transferee’s sole right with respect to such shares shall be limited to the amount payable to the Purported Transferee pursuant to this Section 6 of Article XI. In no event shall the proceeds of any sale of Excess Securities pursuant to this Section 6 of Article XI inure to the benefit of the Corporation or the Agent, except to the extent used to cover costs and expenses incurred by Agent in performing its duties hereunder.

Section 7.  Modification of Remedies for Certain Indirect Transfers .

In the event of any Transfer which does not involve a transfer of securities of the Corporation within the meaning of Maryland law (“ Securities ,” and individually, a “ Security ”) but which would cause a 4.9-percent Stockholder to violate a restriction on Transfers provided for in this Article XI, the application of Sections 5 and 6 of this Article XI shall be modified as described in this Section 7 of this Article XI. In such case, no such 4.9-percent Stockholder shall be required to dispose of any interest that is not a Security, but such 4.9-percent Stockholder


and/or any Person whose ownership of Securities is attributed to such 4.9-percent Stockholder shall be deemed to have disposed of and shall be required to dispose of sufficient Securities (which Securities shall be disposed of in the inverse order in which they were acquired) to cause such 4.9-percent Stockholder, following such disposition, not to be in violation of this Article XI. Such disposition shall be deemed to occur simultaneously with the Transfer giving rise to the application of this provision, and such number of Securities that are deemed to be disposed of shall be considered Excess Securities and shall be disposed of through the Agent as provided in Sections 5 and 6 of this Article XI, except that the maximum aggregate amount payable either to such 4.9-percent Stockholder, or to such other Person that was the direct holder of such Excess Securities, in connection with such sale shall be the fair market value of such Excess Securities at the time of the purported Transfer. All expenses incurred by the Agent in disposing of such Excess Stock shall be paid out of any amounts due such 4.9-percent Stockholder or such other Person. The purpose of this Section 7 of Article XI is to extend the restrictions in Section 2 and 5 of this Article XI to situations in which there is a 4.9-percent Transaction without a direct Transfer of Securities, and this Section 7 of Article XI, along with the other provisions of this Article XI, shall be interpreted to produce the same results, with differences as the context requires, as a direct Transfer of Corporation Securities.

Section 8.  Legal Proceedings; Prompt Enforcement .

If the Purported Transferee fails to surrender the Excess Securities or the proceeds of a sale thereof to the Agent within thirty days from the date on which the Corporation makes a written demand pursuant to Section 5 of this Article XI (whether or not made within the time specified in Section 5 of this Article XI), then the Corporation shall promptly take all cost effective actions which it believes are appropriate to enforce the provisions hereof, including the institution of legal proceedings to compel the surrender.

The Board of Directors may authorize such additional actions as it deems advisable to give effect to the provisions of this Article XI.

Section 9.  Liability .

To the fullest extent permitted by law, any stockholder subject to the provisions of this Article XI who knowingly violates the provisions of this Article XI and any Persons controlling, controlled by or under common control with such stockholder shall be jointly and severally liable to the Corporation for, and shall indemnify and hold the Corporation harmless against, any and all damages suffered as a result of such violation, including but not limited to damages resulting from a reduction in, or elimination of, the Corporation’s ability to utilize its Tax Benefits, and attorneys’ and auditors’ fees incurred in connection with such violation.

IF THE TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS ARE VIOLATED, THEN THE TRANSFER WILL BE VOID  AB INITIO   AND THE PURPORTED TRANSFEREE OF THE STOCK WILL BE REQUIRED TO TRANSFER EXCESS SECURITIES (AS DEFINED IN THE BY-LAWS) TO THE CORPORATION’S AGENT. IN THE EVENT OF A TRANSFER WHICH DOES NOT INVOLVE SECURITIES OF THE CORPORATION WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE GENERAL CORPORATION LAW OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND (“SECURITIES”) BUT WHICH WOULD VIOLATE THE TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS, THE PURPORTED TRANSFEREE (OR THE RECORD OWNER) OF THE SECURITIES WILL BE REQUIRED TO TRANSFER SUFFICIENT SECURITIES PURSUANT TO THE TERMS PROVIDED FOR IN THE CORPORATION’S BY-LAWS TO CAUSE THE FIVE PERCENT STOCKHOLDER TO NO LONGER BE IN VIOLATION OF THE TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. THE CORPORATION WILL FURNISH WITHOUT CHARGE TO THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE A COPY OF THE BY-LAWS, CONTAINING THE ABOVE-REFERENCED TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS, UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE CORPORATION AT ITS PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS.”


The Board of Directors may also require that any certificates issued by the Corporation evidencing ownership of shares of Stock that are subject to conditions imposed by the Board of Directors under Section 3 of this Article XI also bear a conspicuous legend referencing the applicable restrictions.

(a) The Board of Directors shall have the power to determine all matters necessary for assessing compliance with this Article XI, including, without limitation, (i) the identification of 4.9-percent Stockholders, (ii) whether a Transfer is a 4.9-percent Transaction or a Prohibited Transfer, (iii) the Percentage Stock Ownership in the Corporation of any 4.9-percent Stockholder, (iv) whether an instrument constitutes a Corporation Security, (v) the amount (or fair market value) due to a Purported Transferee pursuant to Section 6 of this Article XI, and (vi) any other matters which the Board of Directors determines to be relevant; and the good faith determination of the Board of Directors on such matters shall be conclusive and binding for all the purposes of this Article XI. In addition, the Board of Directors may, to the extent permitted by law, from time to time establish, modify, amend or rescind by-laws, regulations and procedures of the Corporation not inconsistent with the provisions of this Article XI for purposes of determining whether any Transfer of Corporation Securities would jeopardize the Corporation’s ability to preserve and use the Tax Benefits and for the orderly application, administration and implementation of this Article XI.

(b) Nothing contained in this Article XI shall limit the authority of the Board of Directors to take such other action to the extent permitted by law as it deems necessary or advisable to protect the Corporation and its stockholders in preserving the Tax Benefits. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event of a change in law making one or more of the following actions necessary or desirable, the Board of Directors may, by adopting a written resolution, (i) accelerate or extend the Expiration Date, (ii) modify the ownership interest percentage in the Corporation or the Persons or groups covered by this Article XI, (iii) modify the definitions of any terms set forth in this Article XI or (iv) modify the terms of this Article XI as appropriate, in each case, in order to prevent an ownership change for purposes of Section 382 of the Code as a result of any changes in applicable Treasury Regulations or otherwise;  provided, however , that the Board of Directors shall not cause there to be such acceleration, extension or modification unless it determines, by adopting a written resolution, that such action is reasonably necessary or advisable to preserve the Tax Benefits or that the continuation of these restrictions is no longer reasonably necessary for the preservation of the Tax Benefits. Stockholders of the Corporation shall be notified of such determination through a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or such other method of notice as the Secretary of the Corporation shall deem appropriate.

(c) In the case of an ambiguity in the application of any of the provisions of this Article XI, including any definition used herein, the Board of Directors shall have the power to determine the application of such provisions with respect to any situation based on its reasonable belief, understanding or knowledge of the circumstances. In the event this Article XI requires an


action by the Board of Directors but fails to provide specific guidance with respect to such action, the Board of Directors shall have the power to determine the action to be taken so long as such action is not contrary to the provisions of this Article XI. All such actions, calculations, interpretations and determinations which are done or made by the Board of Directors in good faith shall be conclusive and binding on the Corporation, the Agent, and all other parties for all other purposes of this Article XI. The Board of Directors may delegate all or any portion of its duties and powers under this Article XI to a committee of the Board of Directors as it deems necessary or advisable and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, may exercise the authority granted by this Article XI through duly authorized officers or agents of the Corporation. Nothing in this Article XI shall be construed to limit or restrict the Board of Directors in the exercise of its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

Section 13.  Reliance .

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation and the members of the Board of Directors shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the information, opinions, reports or statements of the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer, the chief accounting officer or the corporate controller of the Corporation and the Corporation’s legal counsel, independent auditors, transfer agent, investment bankers or other employees and agents in making the determinations and findings contemplated by this Article XI. The members of the Board of Directors shall not be responsible for any good faith errors made in connection therewith. For purposes of determining the existence and identity of, and the amount of any Corporation Securities owned by any stockholder, the Corporation is entitled to rely on the existence and absence of filings of Schedule 13D or 13G under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (or similar filings), as of any date, subject to its actual knowledge of the ownership of Corporation Securities.

Section 14.  Benefits of This Article   XI .

Nothing in this Article XI shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Corporation or the Agent any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Article XI. This Article XI shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Corporation and the Agent.

Section 15.  Severability .

The purpose of this Article XI is to facilitate the Corporation’s ability to maintain or preserve its Tax Benefits. If any provision of this Article XI or the application of any such provision to any Person or under any circumstance shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Article XI.

Section 16.  Waiver .

With regard to any power, remedy or right provided herein or otherwise available to the Corporation or the Agent under this Article XI, (i) no waiver will be effective unless expressly contained in a writing signed by the waiving party; and (ii) no alteration, modification or impairment will be implied by reason of any previous waiver, extension of time, delay or omission in exercise, or other indulgence.

(b) By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees for itself that any legal action, suit or proceeding against it with respect to any matter under or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered in any such action, suit or proceeding, may be brought solely in either a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the County of New York in the State of New York. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably accepts and submits itself to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of each such court, generally and unconditionally, with respect to any such action, suit or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, each Party hereto hereby agrees that, if the petitions have been filed and the Chapter 11 Cases are pending, the Bankruptcy Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction of all matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement. The Parties to this Agreement expressly consent to entry of final orders by the Bankruptcy Court arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including but not limited to orders interpreting and enforcing this Agreement.

  19. Third-Party Beneficiaries .

In consideration for the consent of the administrative agent (the “ ABL Agent ”) and the lenders (the “ ABL Lenders ”) under the ABL Facility to the Forbearance Payment pursuant to the ABL Forbearance Agreement, the (a) Term Loan Agent and the Supporting Term Lenders hereby consent to the use of cash collateral on the terms set forth in the Cash Collateral Order Term Sheet, and (b) Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the consent of the ABL Agent and the Required Lenders (as defined in the ABL Facility) to use of cash collateral is contingent on the provisions set forth on the Cash Collateral Order Term Sheet as in effect on the date hereof to be reflected in the cash collateral orders entered by the Bankruptcy Court in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the ABL Agent, and agree, for so long as this Agreement is in effect, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the provisions on the Cash Collateral Order Term Sheet as in effect on the date hereof to be reflected in the cash collateral orders entered by

 

-35-


the Bankruptcy Court in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the ABL Agent and not to consent to the entry of any cash collateral orders that fail to include the provisions set forth on the Cash Collateral Order Term Sheet as in effect on the date hereof in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the ABL Agent (this paragraph being the “ Cash Collateral Provision ”).

The ABL Agent and the ABL Lenders are express third-party beneficiaries of the Cash Collateral Provision and this Section 19, and the Cash Collateral Provision and the terms and provisions of this Section 19 expressly inure to the benefit of the ABL Agent and the ABL Lenders, who shall be entitled to rely on and enforce the provisions of this Section 19.

The Term Loan Agent and the Parties agree that money damages would be an insufficient remedy for any breach of the Cash Collateral Provision or this Section 19 and the ABL Agent and the ABL Lenders, as applicable, shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief, including attorneys’ fees and costs, as a remedy of any such breach, including an order of the Bankruptcy Court or other court of competent jurisdiction requiring the applicable party to comply promptly with any of its obligations hereunder, and each of the Term Loan Agent and each of the Parties, and by acceptance of the benefits of this Section, the ABL Agent and the ABL Lenders, as applicable, agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of a bond in connection with such remedy, as the sole remedy to which such non-breaching party will be entitled, at law or in equity. Each of the Term Loan Agent and each of the Parties, and by accepting the benefits of this Section 19, each of the ABL Agent and the ABL Lenders executing the ABL Forbearance Agreement agree that such relief will be their only remedy against the applicable other party with respect to any such breach, and that in no event will the ABL Agent and the ABL Lenders or the Term Loan Agent or each of the Parties, be liable for monetary damages (including consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages or damages for lost profits) other than attorneys’ fees and costs.

Unless expressly stated herein, including in this Section 19, this Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of the Parties hereto and no other Entity shall be a third-party beneficiary hereof.

Any Holder of Existing Key Common Stock who would be entitled to no more than 0.5 Equity Exchange Shares and Warrants will receive no distribution. Such fractional shares and Warrants will be aggregated and reallocated on a pro rata basis to Holders of Existing Key Common Stock otherwise entitled to at least 0.5 Equity Exchange Shares and Warrants, after which all such Equity Exchange Shares and Warrants shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole share with the result that no fractional Equity Exchange Shares and Warrants will be issued.

 

Each Holder of Existing Key Common Stock will also have the opportunity to elect to receive cash, to the extent funded by other such Holders (the “ Cash-Out Election ”), in lieu of both the Equity Exchange Shares and Warrants to be received under the

 

11


  

Consensual Equity Exchange (such participant, a “ Cash-Out Elector ”). 4 In order to fund the Cash-Out Election, each Rights Offering Equity Holder will have the opportunity to subscribe as part of the Equity Interest Rights Offering (the “ Cash-Out Subscription ”), for all or a portion of the Equity Exchange Shares and Warrants subject to the Cash-Out Election (each subscribing Rights Offering Equity Holder, a “ Cash-Out Investor ”).

 

If fully funded pursuant to the Cash-Out Subscription, each Cash-Out Elector will receive from the Cash-Out Investors an amount of cash equal to (x) the number of Equity Exchange Shares it would otherwise have been entitled to receive, multiplied by (y) $18.76 per share of Equity Exchange Shares (such per share price, the “ Per Share Cash-Out Price ” and such cash amount, with respect to each Holder of Existing Key Common Stock that exercise the Cash-Out Election, the “ Cash-Out Amount ”); provided , that if the aggregate Cash-Out Amount required to purchase all Equity Exchange Shares and Warrants subject to Cash-Out Elections exceeds the aggregate amount of the Cash-Out Subscriptions, the Per Share Cash-Out Price shall be paid to Cash-Out Electors on a pro rata basis, and the Cash-Out Electors shall retain any remaining Equity Exchange Shares and Warrants for which they do not receive cash from the Cash-Out Election. For the avoidance of doubt, any Warrants issued in respect of Equity Exchange Shares submitted for sale in connection with the Cash-Out Election will be transferred to the extent such Cash-Out Election is honored, however no separate consideration will be paid for any such Warrants. Any Cash-Out Amounts shall be funded on the Plan Effective Date, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.

 

4   The Plan may also provide for a mandatory cash-out of Holders of Key Common Stock that would otherwise receive de minimis Equity Exchange Shares and Warrants, any terms of which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Debtors and the Required Consenting Creditors.

 

12


  

In exchange for its payment of the Cash-Out Amount subscribed for in its Cash-Out Subscription, each participating Cash-Out Investor shall receive its proportionate number of the Equity Exchange Shares and Warrants that would otherwise have been distributed to the Cash-Out Electors.

(z) to subscribe for Equity Exchange Shares and Warrants pursuant to the Cash-Out Subscription.

 

Each Rights Offering Equity Holder shall, as a condition to participating in the Rights Offering and the Incremental Liquidity Facility (and receiving the Consensual Equity Exchange) (each, a “ Participating Equity Holder ”), agree in writing pursuant to the Rights Offering Documents to grant the Releases and not to, among other things, (i) oppose the Plan, including any portion of the Plan pertaining to the treatment of the Term Loan Claims, treatment of the Senior Notes Claims or the Consensual Equity Exchange;

 

13


  

(ii) seek, solicit, support, encourage or consent to, any restructuring or reorganization for any Debtor that is inconsistent with the Definitive Restructuring Documents and the Fundamental Implementation Agreements (including the PSA) in any respect; (iii) commence or support any action filed by any party in interest to appoint a trustee, conservator, receiver, or examiner for the Debtors, or to dismiss the Chapter 11 Cases, or to convert the Chapter 11 Cases to cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code; (iv) commence or support any action or proceeding to shorten or terminate the period during which only the Debtors may propose and/or seek confirmation of any plan of reorganization; or (v) otherwise support any plan, sale process or other transaction that is inconsistent with the Fundamental Implementation Agreements (including the PSA) or the Definitive Restructuring Documents.

   aggregate number of shares of Existing Key Common Stock, and (ii) with respect to Qualifying Equity Holders for purposes of determining Equity Holder Rights, the percentage equal to the quotient of (x) the number of Record Date Shares owned by such Qualifying Equity Holder divided by (y) the aggregate number of Record Date Shares owned by all Qualifying Equity Holders.
  

Record Date Shares ” means Existing Key Common Stock as of the Equity Holder Record Date.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the Plan and the Disclosure Statement will clarify that each of the Existing Key Common Stock class and the Other Key Equity Interests class is deemed to reject the Plan, and is therefore not entitled to vote, because such class is receiving no recovery pursuant to the Plan; the Plan shall be deemed to be a “cramdown” plan under Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to each of the Existing Key Common Stock class and the Other Key Equity Interests class. In no event shall the aggregate amount of consideration provided to Holders of Existing Key Common Stock exceed the consideration provided for such Holders pursuant to the Equity Holder Rights and Consensual Equity Exchange described herein.

SECTION 9: Other Implementation Provisions   
Corporate Structure; Vesting of Assets; Business Plan:   

After consummation of the Restructuring, subject to any divestitures in connection with Specified Asset Sales, all of the assets of the Debtors as of the Plan Effective Date shall be owned by the reorganized Debtors and their wholly owned subsidiaries; provided that, at any time prior to the Plan Effective Date, the Required Consenting Creditors may elect, with the prior written consent of the Debtors (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and to the extent permitted by applicable law, to amend the Plan to provide for the liquidation of certain Debtor holding companies whose sole assets are subsidiaries organized and located outside of the United States.

 

The Required Consenting Noteholders may, at their option, review and analyze the proposed tax and corporate structure of the reorganized Debtors for tax and corporate efficiencies as part of the Restructuring and the Plan will contain such provisions reasonably acceptable to the Required Consenting Noteholders and the Debtors to ensure such tax and corporate efficiencies. The Debtors shall work with the Required Consenting Noteholders to structure the Restructuring and the transactions contemplated herein to the extent practicable in a tax-efficient and cost-effective manner, as determined by the Required Consenting Noteholders in their reasonable discretion,

 

24


  

and in consultation with the Supporting Term Lenders. Tax-efficient structuring shall include structuring to avoid recognition of gains and to recognize losses (to the extent possible). The proposed tax structure for the reorganized Debtors shall be finalized prior to the Petition Date.

 

The Debtors’ management shall work with the Supporting Noteholders (and their advisors) that remain subject to a nondisclosure agreement to determine and finalize the Company’s long term business plan, which shall be finalized prior to the Petition Date and shall be determined in consultation with the Supporting Term Lenders (and their advisors) to the extent also subject to a nondisclosure agreement. After the Petition Date, to the extent requested by the Required Consenting Noteholders or the Required Consenting Term Lenders, the Debtors’ management team and operational advisors will host weekly calls with a Supporting Noteholder that is both designated by the Required Consenting Noteholders and that is subject to a nondisclosure agreement to provide updates with regard to the business and any developments.

 

From the date of execution of the PSA through consummation of the Plan, the Company shall inform Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, and Houlihan Lokey, Inc., as advisors of the Supporting Noteholders, and Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP and Evercore Group LLC, as advisors to the Supporting Term Lenders, prior to entry into any new material contracts, other than agreements with customers in the ordinary course of business, and shall consult with, and obtain the consent of, the Required Consenting Noteholders (provided that to the extent any such contract is subject to a customary nondisclosure agreement with the Company, the “Required Consenting Noteholders” threshold with respect to approval of such contract shall be

 

25


   calculated without including in the numerator or the denominator Senior Notes held by any Supporting Noteholder that is not party to and declines to enter into such nondisclosure agreement); provided, however , that (i) the Company shall consult with, but need not obtain any further approval of, the Required Consenting Noteholders with respect to any contracts previously disclosed and agreed to in writing by the Required Consenting Noteholders, and (ii) the consent of Required Consenting Noteholders as to any material contracts related to Specified Asset Sales shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In any event, the Company will inform the Supporting Creditors and the Supporting Creditor Advisors that remain under a nondisclosure agreement and their respective advisors concurrently with or promptly after entry into any new material contracts.
Reincorporation:    Reorganized Key shall be reincorporated in Delaware.
Reorganized Key Corporate Governance Documents:   

On the Plan Effective Date the existing Key corporate charter and bylaws shall be automatically terminated and cancelled.

 

The Plan shall provide for the execution and filing, on the Plan Effective Date, of the New Key Constituent Documents consistent with the Corporate Governance Term Sheet.

26


Management Incentive Plan:    The Plan shall provide for the New MIP to be implemented on or following the Plan Effective Date.
Employment Matters:    All existing employment, retention and change of control agreements shall be assumed by the Debtors and “ride through” the Chapter 11 Cases (the “ Assumed Employee Agreements ”), and any future cash payments or distributions contemplated thereunder shall (to the extent not paid in the ordinary course during the Chapter 11 Cases) remain outstanding and payable in full in cash by Reorganized Key after the Plan Effective Date; provided , that any provisions in such Assumed Employee Agreements that provide rights to purchase or receive Existing Key Common Stock (including, without limitation, vested and unvested (i) restricted stock and (ii) restricted stock units) shall be given effect for purposes of the Equity Interest Rights Offering and Consensual Equity Exchange under the Plan (and will be null and void and have no effect with respect to Reorganized Key Common Stock after the Plan Effective Date). For the avoidance of doubt, if any Assumed Employee Agreement contains a provision or provisions allowing the Company to convert a cash payment or distribution into equity, such provision(s) shall be null and void as to such conversion feature, and any future cash payments or distributions will be paid in cash by Reorganized Key after the Plan Effective Date in accordance with the foregoing sentence. Cash obligations of the Reorganized Debtors on and after the Plan Effective Date pursuant to the prior two sentences shall not exceed a maximum of $8.75 million of which approximately (x) $4.6 million relates to retention payments approved by the Board as set forth on a schedule delivered to counsel to the Supporting Noteholders; (y) $3.4 million relates to current contractual severance

 

27


  

obligations as set forth on a schedule delivered to counsel to the Supporting Noteholders; and (z) up to $750,000 relates to retention or separation-related payments that may become due on or after the Plan Effective Date as a result of future events as disclosed to counsel for the Consenting Noteholders; provided however that the $8.75 million cap on cash obligations shall exclude (a) any obligations in the nature of wages, expense reimbursements, or other non-incentive based amounts or benefits; and (b) any other obligations that may become due as a result of a termination under the terms of contractual obligations in place as of the date of the PSA, whether or not following a change of control, up to a maximum amount of $11.75 million. Subject to the terms set forth in this paragraph, all equity components of any existing incentive plans will be cancelled, any cash components of such plans will be honored by Reorganized Key, and Reorganized Key shall have no obligation to provide equity-based compensation to employees except as may be provided pursuant to the New MIP. Any individual severance obligation as to former employees terminated prior to the Plan Effective Date will be resolved in a manner satisfactory to the Required Consenting Noteholders and the Debtors, other than individual severance obligations for less than one year’s salary and for less than $500,000 in the aggregate for all severance obligations, which may be resolved by the Debtors in consultation with the Required Consenting Noteholders.

 

Decisions with respect to amounts to be paid to employees on account of the 2016 annual cash incentive plan generally available to the Debtors’ employees (the “ 2016 PIP ”) will be made following the Plan Effective Date at the discretion of the Board of Reorganized Key. The maximum amount payable under the 2016 PIP shall not exceed $10.3 million.

Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases:    All executory contracts and unexpired leases, except as set forth in the Plan Supplement to be agreed by the Debtors and Required Consenting Noteholders, shall be deemed assumed. The Debtors and the Required Consenting Noteholders shall consult with each other to determine which, if any,

 

28

For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent a Backstop Participant duly exercises its Call Option during the Call Option Exercise Period and actually acquires the Unsubscribed Shares subject to such Call Option, the corresponding Put Option with respect to such Unsubscribed Shares shall terminate automatically upon the completion of such Backstop Participant’s purchase of the Unsubscribed Shares subject to such Call Option, and any exercise of the Put Option with respect to such Unsubscribed Shares shall be cancelled automatically, without any further action by either the Company or any Backstop Participant.

 

In the event a Call Option with respect to Unsubscribed Shares has not been validly exercised during the Call Option Exercise Period, the corresponding Put Option with respect to such Unsubscribed Shares shall be exercisable during the time between the end of the Call Option Exercise Period and five (5) Business Days thereafter (the “ Put Option Exercise Period ”). The Company shall be deemed to have exercised the Put Option in full at the end of the Put Option Exercise Period unless the Company shall have given written notice on or prior to such date that it has elected not to exercise the Put Option. Any such election by the Company not to exercise the Put Option shall not be

effective and shall be void ab initio unless consented to in writing by the Required Consenting Term Lenders.

 

In addition to the foregoing, each Backstop Participant’s obligations with respect to its Put Option shall terminate automatically, without any further action by either the Company or any Backstop Participant, if (a) the Company has given written notice, with the prior written consent of the Required Consenting Term Lenders, to the Backstop Participants that it has elected not to exercise the Put Option, or (b) upon termination of the Backstop Agreement by all Parties thereto subject to the limitations and consent rights applicable to Mutual Terminations (solely with respect to the Company) and Company Terminations (each as defined below).

Backstop Participant Holdings:   Schedule 1 hereto, which shall be updated as of the date the Backstop Agreement to reflect any permitted transfers and which shall be attached as a schedule thereto, sets forth with respect to each Backstop Participant (i) its Initial Backstop Pro Rata Share (as defined below), (ii) the amount of its Noteholder Primary Shares and (iii) the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes Claims beneficially owned by such Backstop Participant as of the date of the PSA.

Backstop Pro Rata Share ” means, with respect to each Backstop Participant, a percentage equal to its Backstop Pro Rata Allocation divided by (b) the aggregate Backstop Pro Rata Allocation of all Backstop Participants.

Backstop Participant Default Backstop:   If any Backstop Participant defaults on its Backstop Commitment obligations under the Backstop Agreement (such default, a “ Backstop Participant Default ,” and such Backstop Participant a “ Defaulting Backstop Participant ”), each non-defaulting Backstop Participant (a “ Non-Defaulting Backstop Participant ”) shall have the right (the “ Post-Default Subscription Right ”), but not the obligation, to within five (5) Business Days of the Backstop Participant Default, assume and exercise up to 100% the Defaulting Backstop Participant’s rights and obligations under the Backstop Agreement, including the Backstop Commitment, Call Option Commitment, Call Option rights, and Put Option obligations, to be allocated to each Non-Defaulting Backstop Participant based on its Backstop Pro Rata Share (adjusted, as applicable, for the removal of any terminating or defaulting Backstop Participant and any Backstop Participant not wishing to exercise its Post-Default Subscription Right) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Backstop Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, the assumption by any Non-Defaulting Backstop Participant of any Defaulting Backstop Participant’s obligations under the Backstop Agreement shall not relieve such Defaulting Backstop Participant of its liability for breach of the Backstop Agreement.

In the event the Non-Defaulting Call Option Backstop Participants in the aggregate elect to assume and exercise more than 100% of the Call Option Backstop Participant’s rights and obligations under the Backstop Agreement, the allocation of such rights and obligations to each Call Option Backstop Participant shall be adjusted proportionate to their respective Backstop Pro Rata Shares, so that the aggregate allocation to the Non-Defaulting Call Option Backstop Participants equals 100% of the Defaulting Call Option Backstop Participant’s rights and obligations under the Backstop Agreement.

PLAN TERM SHEET – EXHIBIT 6

Terms of Warrants

Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Plan Term Sheet. Definitions shall apply to the plural as well as the singular number.

(1) Warrants. On the Plan Effective Date, each Holder of Existing Key Common Stock shall receive its Percentage Allocation of warrants exercisable for an aggregate number of shares of Reorganized Key Common Stock equal to (a) (x) 50% multiplied by (y) 10% of the Base Share Count 1 (such warrants, the “4-Year Warrants”) and (b) (x) 50% multiplied by (y) 10% of the Base Share Count 1 (such warrants, the “5-Year Warrants” and, collectively with the 4-Year Warrants, the “Warrants”). Each Warrant will initially represent the right to purchase one share of Reorganized Key Common Stock.

(2) Term/Exercise Price.  The 4-Year Warrants shall be exercisable at any time on or prior to the earlier of (A) the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date and (B) the consummation of a Cash Exit Transaction (defined below), in each case, at a per share exercise price equal to the quotient of (x) $800 million divided by (y) the Base Share Count. The 5-Year Warrants shall be exercisable at any time on or prior to the earlier of (A) the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date and (B) the consummation of a Cash Exit Transaction, in each case, at a per share exercise price equal to (x) $1 billion divided by (y) the Base Share Count. The Warrants will include a reduction to their respective exercise prices to reflect the decrease in equity value resulting from any cash dividends paid on Reorganized Key Common Stock prior to exercise or any other distributions made on Reorganized Key Common Stock prior to exercise that do not otherwise result in an antidilution adjustment. The Warrants are exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis (in which case the Warrants would be exercised for a number of shares of Reorganized Key Common Stock with a value equal to the in-the-money value of the Warrants at the time of exercise). In the case of a cashless exercise, if the shares of Reorganized Key Common Stock are not publicly traded on a nationally recognized exchange, then the value of a share of Reorganized Key Common Stock shall be determined in good faith by the board of directors of Reorganized Key subject to an appraisal by a third party in the event of a dispute of such valuation by Warrant holder; provided that, in the case of an exercise in connection with a Cash Exit Transaction, the cash consideration paid per share of Reorganized Key Common Stock in such Cash Exit Transaction shall be deemed to be the value of a share of Reorganized Key Common Stock.

 

1   The “Base Share Count” shall equal the sum of (1) the issued and outstanding shares on the Plan Effective Date calculated after giving effect to (w) the shares issued on account of the Percentage Put Premium (x) shares issued on account of the Senior Notes Exchange, (y) the Equity Distribution Shares, and (z) the shares issued in connection with the consummation of the Rights Offering, including all shares issued to the Backstop Participants under the Backstop Agreement on account of the Rights Offering, but prior to (a) the shares issued pursuant to the New MIP, if any, (b) the Incremental Liquidity Facility Shares, if any, and (c) the shares issued on account of the Dollar Put Premium, plus (2) the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. Each of the 4-Year Warrants and 5-Year Warrants shall be for an equal number of shares of Reorganized Key Common Stock and the Warrants shall collectively equal 10% of the Base Share Count. The Base Share Count and the components thereof shall be calculated in a manner consistent with the illustrative calculations provided in Schedule 4 to the Plan Term Sheet.


(3) Exit Transactions.

In the event of a sale of all or substantially all of Reorganized Key’s assets or the sale of all or substantially all of the then-outstanding shares of Reorganized Key Common Stock, or a merger or consolidation by Reorganized Key with or into another person, or any other similar extraordinary transaction involving Reorganized Key or the Reorganized Key Common Stock not otherwise accounted for pursuant to Section 4 below (an “Exit Transaction” and an Exit Transaction in which holders of Reorganized Key Common Stock receive solely cash in exchange for their shares of Reorganized Key Common Stock, a “Cash Exit Transaction”), Reorganized Key will give notice of the Exit Transaction to the Warrant holders as promptly as reasonably practicable upon execution of the agreement providing for such Exit Transaction. Solely in the case of a Cash Exit Transaction, if the Warrant holders elect not to exercise their Warrants, then the Warrants will expire on the consummation of such Exit Transaction and be cancelled for no consideration; provided, however, that if the cash consideration paid per share of Reorganized Key Common Stock in such Cash Exit Transaction exceeds the exercise price of any Warrant, the holder of such Warrant shall be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to (i) the amount of such excess multiplied by (ii) the number of shares underlying such Warrant. In the case of any other Exit Transaction (including an Exit Transaction involving partial cash consideration), a Warrant holder’s right to receive shares of Reorganized Key Common Stock upon exercise of a Warrant shall be converted into the right to exercise such Warrant to acquire the number of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) which the Reorganized Key Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrant immediately prior to such Exit Transaction would have been entitled to receive upon consummation of such Exit Transaction.

(4) Antidilution Adjustments.  The Warrants will contain customary antidilution adjustments that will apply in the event of stock dividends, subdivisions, combinations and reclassifications.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Key Energy Services Announces Entry into Plan Support Agreement for Consensual Deleveraging and Recapitalization Transaction

 

    Key’s Funded Debt to be Reduced by $725 million

 

    Reorganized Key to Remain a Public Company With Platinum Equity as Lead Shareholder

 

    Plan Support Agreement Provides For Operations To Continue as Usual, Without Interruption, With Employees, Vendors and Trade Creditors to be Paid in Full in the Ordinary Course of Business

HOUSTON, Aug. 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Key Energy Services, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Company”) have entered into a plan support agreement (“PSA”) with Platinum Equity and certain other holders of its 6.75% Senior Notes due 2021 (“Senior Notes”), collectively holding more than 89% of its outstanding Senior Notes, and with certain lenders holding more than 87% of the principal amount of loans outstanding under Key’s Term Loan Credit Agreement dated June 1, 2015 (“Term Loan”).

Platinum Equity, a Los Angeles-based global investment firm with a unique focus on operations and extensive experience helping businesses in transition, as holder of a majority of the Company’s Senior Notes, will become Key’s largest shareholder upon completion of the anticipated restructuring.

The PSA contemplates a comprehensive recapitalization of the Company, and will be implemented pursuant to a prepackaged chapter 11 plan of reorganization (the “Plan”). It is expected that the Company will commence the prepackaged proceeding in Delaware by November 8, 2016, following the official solicitation of votes on the Plan and the expiration of the rights offering described below. Under the contemplated Plan, the Company’s employees, vendors and trade creditors will be paid in full in the ordinary course of business. Upon completion of the restructuring, reorganized Key will remain a publicly traded company.

Robert Drummond, Key’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “By significantly reducing Key’s debt from almost $1 billion to $250 million, we believe that Key will be well positioned to take advantage of opportunities that emerge as the market recovers. I am pleased with and appreciate the support of Platinum and the other supporting creditors, as well as our employees, in working to reach an agreement that we believe is in the best interest of the Company and all of its stakeholders.”

Platinum Equity Partner Jacob Kotzubei said he is excited about the Key Energy investment and believes the Company will benefit from Platinum Equity’s financial, operational and M&A resources. “Key Energy is a market leader in North American production services and will emerge from this process as a stable, well-capitalized business with all the tools needed to thrive long term,” said Mr. Kotzubei. “The Company is an ideal platform for growth and consolidation as the oilfield services industry works through today’s challenging market conditions. We look forward to working with Robert Drummond and his management team to capitalize on opportunities to grow the business organically and through potential add-on acquisitions.”

The principal components of the Plan include:

 

    Concurrently with the official solicitation of votes on the Plan, the Company will conduct an $85 million rights offering (subject to increase by $25 million) for reorganized Key’s shares of common stock. The proceeds of the rights offering will be used to repay principal and interest on the Company’s existing Term Loan to reduce the principal balance to $250 million and provide reorganized Key with incremental working capital. 95% of the rights offering will be available to certain qualifying holders of Senior Notes and 5% will be available to certain qualifying equity holders. Certain parties to the PSA have agreed to backstop the full amount of the rights offering. The Company expects that solicitation of votes on the Plan and the rights offering will commence by mid-September.

 

    Replacing the Company’s existing $100 million asset-based revolving credit facility with a new ABL facility.

 

    Reducing the Company’s Term Loan obligations to $250 million.

 

    Exchanging 100% of the Company’s existing Senior Notes for 5 million shares of reorganized Key plus rights to acquire additional shares of reorganized Key.

 

    Cancelling all of the Company’s existing common stock in exchange of 543,927 shares of reorganized Key plus rights and warrants to acquire additional shares of reorganized Key.

It is anticipated that holders of Senior Notes, including Platinum Equity as the largest holder, will own approximately 95% of reorganized Key’s common stock and Key’s current common equity holders will own approximately 5%, upon the effectiveness of the Plan but in each case prior to giving effect to the results of the rights offering referred to above, exercise of the warrants referred to above, shares issued to certain parties to the Plan Support Agreement that also have committed to backstop the full amount of the rights offering, and potential further dilution as a result of a new proposed management incentive plan.

The PSA and other transaction agreements to be executed by the Company, include certain covenants on the part of the Company to solicit and seek court approval of, and the other parties to the agreements to vote in favor of the Plan, support the restructuring transactions and forbear from exercising remedies against the Company with respect to certain defaults. The PSA and related agreements are subject to customary closing conditions and termination rights upon the occurrence of certain events, including without limitation the failure of the Company to achieve certain milestones.

The foregoing is a summary and reference is made to the PSA for a complete description of its terms.

Exhibit 99.4

Additional Risk Factors

Set forth below are additional risk factors related to the Plan Support Agreement and the Company’s financial reorganization.

The Plan Support Agreement is subject to significant conditions and milestones that may be difficult for us to satisfy.

There are certain material conditions we must satisfy under the Plan Support Agreement, including the timely satisfaction of milestones in the Chapter 11 proceedings, such as confirmation of the Plan and effectiveness of the Plan. Our ability to timely complete such milestones is subject to risks and uncertainties many of which are beyond our control.

If the Plan Support Agreement is terminated, our ability to confirm and consummate the Plan could be materially and adversely affected.

The Plan Support Agreement contains a number of termination events, the occurrence of which gives certain parties to the Plan Support Agreement the right to terminate the agreement. If the Plan Support Agreement is terminated, each of the parties thereto will be released from their obligations in accordance with the terms of the Plan Support Agreement. Such termination may result in the loss of support for the Plan by the parties to the Plan Support Agreement, which could adversely affect our ability to confirm and consummate the Plan. If the Plan is not consummated, there can be no assurance that any new Plan would be as favorable to holders of claims as the current Plan.

We may not be able to obtain confirmation of the Plan as outlined in the Plan Support Agreement.

Assuming that the Chapter 11 cases are commenced as provided in the Plan Support Agreement, there can be no assurance that the Plan as outlined in the Plan Support Agreement (or any other plan of reorganization) will be approved by the Bankruptcy Court. As a result, investors should exercise caution with respect to existing and future investments in our securities.

The success of any reorganization will depend on approval by the Bankruptcy Court and the willingness of existing debt and security holders to agree to the exchange or modification of their interests as outlined in the plan, and there can be no guarantee of success with respect to the Plan or any other plan of reorganization. For instance, we might receive official objections to confirmation of the Plan from various stakeholders in the Chapter 11 cases. We cannot predict the impact that any objection might have on the Plan or on a Bankruptcy Court’s decision to confirm the Plan. Any objection may cause us to devote significant resources in response which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.


If the Plan is not confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, it is unclear whether we would be able to reorganize our business and what, if any, distributions holders of claims against us, including holders of our secured and unsecured debt and equity, would ultimately receive with respect to their claims. We have a significant amount of secured indebtedness that is senior to our unsecured indebtedness and a significant amount of total indebtedness that is senior to our existing common stock in our capital structure. As a result, we believe that implementation of any plan is likely to result in a limited recovery for unsecured noteholders, if any, and place equity holders at significant risk of losing most or all of their interests in our company. Once commenced, there can be no assurance as to whether we will successfully reorganize and emerge from the Chapter 11 cases or, if we do successfully reorganize, as to when we would emerge from the Chapter 11 cases.

Trading in our securities is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. We expect that the existing common stock of the Company will be extinguished and the warrants proposed to be issued to existing equity holders under the Plan may not have any value.

The Plan, as outlined in the Plan Support Agreement, provides that our outstanding notes will be converted into equity of the reorganized Company and that the existing common stock of the Company will be extinguished upon the Company’s emergence from Chapter 11. The Plan provides that all equity interests of existing equity holders will be extinguished. Existing equity holders will receive equity in the reorganized Company and certain equity holders will also have the right to participate in a rights offering and will receive warrants representing the right to purchase new common stock in the reorganized Company. Even if the Plan is confirmed as currently outlined, the value of any securities or warrants that are issued is highly speculative and the exercise prices of such warrants are based upon assumed equity values that may never be attained.

We may not have adequate liquidity to operate our business.

We have historically relied on cash on hand, cash provided by operating activities and borrowing availability under our ABL Facility for our liquidity needs. In connection with entering into the Plan Support Agreement, the lenders’ commitments under the ABL Facility are being terminated and we will no longer have access to the liquidity provided by that facility. Instead, we will be required to rely on our cash balances and cash provided by operating activities. As of June 30, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents of $103.5 million compared to $204.4 million as of December 31, 2015. Our cash balance declined by $100.8 million during the first half of 2016 primarily as a result of our making interest payments on our outstanding debt instruments totaling $40.4 million, moving approximately $18.6 million to restricted cash and repaying $13.9 million of long-term debt. In addition, we had negative cash from operating activities of $22.4 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 and $67.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2016, and, if industry conditions do not improve, we expect to continue to experience negative cash from operations for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain sufficient liquidity or access other sources of liquidity.


Our historical financial information may not be indicative of our future financial performance.

Our capital structure will likely be significantly altered under any plan of reorganization ultimately confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. Under fresh-start reporting rules that may apply to us upon the effective date of a plan of reorganization, our assets and liabilities would be adjusted to fair values and our accumulated deficit would be restated to zero. Accordingly, if fresh-start reporting rules apply, our financial condition and results of operations following our emergence from Chapter 11 would not be comparable to the financial condition and results of operations reflected in our historical financial statements. Further, a plan of reorganization could materially change the amounts and classifications reported in our consolidated historical financial statements, which do not give effect to any adjustments to the carrying value of assets or amounts of liabilities that might be necessary as a consequence of confirmation of a plan of reorganization.

The pursuit of the Chapter 11 cases has consumed and will continue to consume a substantial portion of the time and attention of our management, which may have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations, and we may face increased levels of employee attrition.

While the Chapter 11 cases continue, our management will be required to spend a significant amount of time and effort focusing on the cases. This diversion of attention may materially adversely affect the conduct of our business, and, as a result, on our financial condition and results of operations, particularly if the Chapter 11 cases are protracted.

During the pendency of the Chapter 11 cases, our employees will face considerable distraction and uncertainty and we may experience increased levels of employee attrition. A loss of key personnel or material erosion of employee morale could have a materially adverse effect on our ability to meet customer expectations, thereby adversely affecting our business and results of operations. The failure to retain or attract members of our management team and other key personnel could impair our ability to execute our strategy and implement operational initiatives, thereby having a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Likewise, we could experience losses of customers who may be concerned about our ongoing long-term viability.
