Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Restructuring and Exchange Agreement

 

On August 7, 2020, Xtant Medical Holdings, Inc. (the “Company,” “we” or “us”) entered into a Restructuring and Exchange Agreement (the “Restructuring Agreement”) with OrbiMed Royalty Opportunities II, LP (“Royalty Opportunities”) and ROS Acquisition Offshore LP (“ROS” and together with Royalty Opportunities, the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the parties thereto agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to take certain actions as set forth therein and as described below (collectively, the “Restructuring Transactions”) in furtherance of a restructuring of the Company’s outstanding indebtedness under that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 29, 2019, by and among the Company, Bacterin International, Inc., Xtant Medical, Inc., X-spine Systems, Inc., and the Lenders, as amended (the “Second A&R Credit Agreement”).

 

Restructuring Transactions

 

The Restructuring Transactions include, among others:

 

  an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.000001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) from 75 million to 300 million (the “Charter Amendment”);
     
  the exchange by the Company of shares of Common Stock for approximately $40.8 million of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans (as defined in the Second A&R Credit Agreement) outstanding under the Second A&R Credit Agreement, as well as, without duplication, approximately $21.1 million of the outstanding amount of PIK Interest (as defined in the Second A&R Credit Agreement) (such loans and PIK Interest, the “Exchanging Loans”), plus all other accrued and unpaid interest on the Exchanging Loans outstanding as of the closing date, at an exchange price of $1.07 per share, representing the average closing price of the Common Stock over the 10 trading days immediately prior to the parties entering into the Restructuring Agreement, and resulting in the issuance of approximately 57.8 million shares of Common Stock (the “Share Issuance”);
     
  the execution of an amendment to the Second A&R Credit Agreement by the parties thereto to change certain provisions therein, including extinguishing loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Exchanging Loans outstanding thereunder together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, adding loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the prepayment fee payable thereunder in respect of the Exchanging Loans, reducing the amount of credit availability thereunder, reducing the interest rate and eliminating certain financial covenants, as described in more detail below; and
     
  the launch by the Company of a rights offering to allow stockholders of the Company to purchase up to an aggregate of $15 million of Common Stock at the same price per share as the $1.07 per share exchange price used to exchange the Exchanging Loans into Common Stock as part of the Share Issuance (the “Rights Offering”).

 

Immediately after the execution of the Restructuring Agreement by the parties thereto, the Company solicited and obtained the written consent of Royalty Opportunities and ROS, the holders of an aggregate of 9,248,678 shares of Common Stock, representing a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the record date, August 7, 2020 (collectively, the “Consenting Majority Stockholders”), for the approval of the Charter Amendment and the Share Issuance, in accordance with applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) and the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Bylaws. The written consent of the Consenting Majority Stockholders was sufficient to approve the Charter Amendment and the Share Issuance. Therefore, no proxies or additional consents will be solicited by the Company in connection with the Charter Amendment and the Share Issuance.

 

 

 

 

Pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the Company intends to send a definitive information statement to all holders of Common Stock as of the August 7, 2020 record date (the “Record Date”) for the purpose of informing such stockholders of the written actions taken by the Consenting Majority Stockholders (the “Information Statement”). In accordance with Exchange Act Rule 14c-2, the stockholder consent of the Consenting Majority Stockholders will become effective no sooner than 20 calendar days following the mailing of the Information Statement. After the expiration of the 20-day period required under Rule 14c-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act, and in accordance with the DGCL, the Company intends to file the Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and, immediately after the Charter Amendment has become effective, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the NYSE American and the terms of the Restructuring Agreement, the Company intends to issue approximately 57.8 million shares of Common Stock to the Lenders in the Share Issuance.

 

Assuming that the Charter Amendment and Share Issuance are consummated on August 7, 2020, the Lenders as of such date would own, in the aggregate, approximately 94% of the outstanding Common Stock. Consequently, all other existing stockholders of the Company, who currently own approximately 30% of the outstanding Common Stock, would own approximately 6% of the outstanding Common Stock following the consummation of the Charter Amendment and Share Issuance. As previously mentioned, the Company agreed to launch a rights offering to allow stockholders of the Company to purchase Common Stock at the same price per share as the $1.07 per share exchange price used in the Share Issuance.

 

Covenants

 

In furtherance of the completion of the Restructuring Transactions, the Company and the other parties to the Restructuring Agreement agreed to take certain actions prior to the closing of the Restructuring Transactions (the “Closing”), including, among others, the following:

 

  The Company agreed to make certain public disclosures and required filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including, among others, the filing of a preliminary and definitive Information Statement with the SEC, and to mail the definitive Information Statement to all stockholders of the Company as of the Record Date.
     
  The Lenders agreed to make certain required filings with the SEC.
     
  The Company agreed to provide certain required notices to the NYSE American.
     
  The Company agreed to submit written consent of the Charter Amendment and Share Issuance to the Consenting Majority Stockholders for adoption in order to obtain stockholder approval.
     
  The Company agreed to file with the SEC a registration statement relating to the Rights Offering.

 

2

 

 

The Company and the other parties to the Restructuring Agreement agreed to take the following actions at the Closing but only in the event stockholder approval of the Charter Amendment and Share Issuance had been obtained:

 

  The Company agreed to execute and file the Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
     
  After the filing of the Charter Amendment, the Company agreed to issue the shares of Common Stock to the Lenders upon exchange of the Exchanging Loans.
     
  The Company and certain of its subsidiaries and the Lenders agreed to enter into the Second Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, described in more detail below.
     
  The Company and the Lenders agreed to enter into a Registration Rights Agreement, described in more detail below.

 

The Company and the other parties to the Restructuring Agreement agreed to take the following actions promptly after the Closing:

 

  The Company agreed to make certain public disclosures and required filings with the SEC.
     
  The Lenders agreed to make certain required filings with the SEC.
     
  The Company agreed to provide certain required notices to the NYSE American.
     
  The Company agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement filed by the Company in connection with the Rights Offering to become effective as promptly as practicable after the Closing and to commence and close the Rights Offering.

 

In addition to the covenants described above, the Restructuring Agreement includes customary covenants of the Company and the Lenders, including, among others, the following covenants of the Company: (i) to operate its businesses in the ordinary course based on historic practices and operations contemplated pursuant to the Company’s business plans, but also taking into account the Restructuring Transactions and the other transactions contemplated under the Restructuring Agreement, during the interim period between the execution of the Restructuring Agreement and the Closing; (ii) not to engage in specified types of transactions during this period unless agreed to in writing by the Lenders; (iii) to indemnify certain officers and representatives of the Company and certain affiliates and representatives of the Lenders for all costs, expenses, loss, damage or liability arising from any losses based upon any act or omission, transaction or other occurrence or circumstances arising from or related in any way to the Company, the Restructuring Transactions, the Restructuring Agreement or any related documents; and (iv) to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Company and certain costs incurred by the Lenders in connection with the Restructuring Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

 

Representations and Warranties

 

The Restructuring Agreement also includes customary representations and warranties of the Company and the Lenders. These representations and warranties were made only for purposes of the Restructuring Agreement and as of specific dates, are solely for the benefit of the parties to the Restructuring Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties (including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Restructuring Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts), and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the parties that differ from those applicable to investors.

 

3

 

 

Investors should not rely on the representations or warranties or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. The representations and warranties made in the Restructuring Agreement by the Company and the Lenders were made solely by the parties to, and for the purposes of, the Restructuring Agreement and as of specific dates and were qualified and subject to important limitations agreed to by the Company and the Lenders in connection with negotiating the terms of the Restructuring Agreement. In particular, in your review of the representations and warranties contained in the Restructuring Agreement and described in this summary, it is important to bear in mind that the representations and warranties were negotiated with the principal purpose of establishing the circumstances in which a party to the Restructuring Agreement may have the right not to consummate the Restructuring Transactions if the representations and warranties of another party prove to be untrue due to a change in circumstance or otherwise, and allocating risk among the parties to the Restructuring Agreement, rather than establishing matters as facts. The representations and warranties may also be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to stockholders and reports and documents filed with the SEC and in some cases were qualified by the matters contained in the confidential disclosure schedule that the Company provided to the Lenders in connection with the Restructuring Agreement, which disclosures were not reflected in the Restructuring Agreement.

 

Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Restructuring Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures by the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates. The provisions of the Restructuring Agreement, including the representations and warranties, should not be read alone, but instead should only be read together with all periodic and current reports and statements that the Company files with the SEC.

 

Conditions to Closing

 

The obligations of the Company and the Lenders to effect the Restructuring Transactions are subject to customary closing conditions, including, among others, the following mutual conditions to the obligations of the parties: (i) the receipt of all governmental and regulatory approvals and consents necessary to effectuate the Restructuring Transactions; (ii) no legal restraints or prohibitions preventing the consummation of the Restructuring Transactions have occurred; (iii) the truth and accuracy of the other party’s representations and warranties in the Restructuring Agreement, subject in certain cases to materiality; and (iv) the performance and compliance in all material respects with all agreements and covenants contained in the Restructuring Agreement to be performed by them prior to or at the Closing. The obligations of the Lenders are further subject to the absence of any Material Adverse Effect, which is defined in the Restructuring Agreement as any event, change, effect, circumstance or condition that, individually or in the aggregate with other such events, changes, effects, circumstances or conditions, (i) is, or is reasonably likely to be, materially adverse to the business, operations, results of operations, properties, condition (financial or otherwise), assets, liabilities (actual or contingent) or prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole or (ii) could reasonably be expected to materially interfere with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Restructuring Agreement, excluding a change in the listing status of the Company’s Common Stock from the NYSE American to an over-the-counter market.

 

4

 

 

Termination

 

The Restructuring Agreement includes customary termination provisions for both the Company and the Lenders, including, among others, (i) if the closing of the Restructuring Transactions is not consummated by October 4, 2020; provided that the terminating party has not been a principal cause of the failure to close due to its failure to perform any of its obligations under the Restructuring Agreement, and (ii) by written consent of the Company and the Lenders. In addition, the Restructuring Agreement provides the ability of the Lenders in their sole discretion to terminate the Restructuring Agreement, the Restructuring Transactions and the other transactions contemplated thereby in the event a potential transaction involving the Company and its subsidiaries is pending.

 

Second Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

 

As a condition to the closing of the Restructuring Transactions, the Company and the Lenders are required to enter into a Second Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) which will amend the Second A&R Credit Agreement as follows:

 

  extinguishing loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Exchanging Loans outstanding thereunder on the closing date of the Credit Agreement Amendment, immediately prior to the Closing, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon;
     
  adding loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the prepayment fee payable thereunder in respect of the Exchanging Loans;
     
  removing the availability of the Additional Delayed Draw Loans and reducing the Additional Second Delayed Draw Commitment Amount (as such terms are defined in the Second A&R Credit Agreement) to $5.0 million;
     
  providing that beginning on October 1, 2020 through the maturity date of the Second A&R Credit Agreement, interest payable in cash will accrue on the loans thereunder at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) 7.00% plus (ii) the higher of (x) the LIBO Rate (as such term is defined in the Second A&R Credit Agreement) and (y) 1.00%; and
     
  eliminating the Revenue Base financial covenant.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

As a condition to the closing of the Restructuring Transactions, the Company is required to enter into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Lenders. The proposed Registration Rights Agreement will require the Company to, among other things, file with the SEC a shelf registration statement covering the resale, from time to time, of the Common Stock issuable upon exchange of the Exchanging Loans no later than the 90th day after the date of Closing and use its best efforts to cause the shelf registration statement to become effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), no later than the 180th day after the date of Closing.

 

It is anticipated that the Credit Agreement Amendment and the Registration Rights Agreement will be entered into by the parties thereto immediately prior to the Closing.

 

5

 

 

The Lenders, which collectively own approximately 70% of the outstanding Common Stock, and beneficially own, with their warrants, approximately 78% of the Common Stock, are the sole holders of the Company’s outstanding long-term debt, all of which is outstanding under the Second A&R Credit Agreement. In addition, as described in more detail in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC on March 5, 2020, the Company is a party to an Investor Rights Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement with the Lenders in addition to the Second A&R Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the director nomination provisions in the Investor Rights Agreement, three of the current five members of the Board of Directors of the Company are affiliated with the Lenders.

 

The foregoing summary description of the Restructuring Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Restructuring Agreement which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing summary descriptions of the Credit Agreement Amendment and Registration Rights Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement Amendment and Registration Rights Agreement, which will be filed as exhibits to a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by the Company within four business days after the completion of the Closing and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The disclosure set forth above under Item 1.01 in connection with the Restructuring Agreement is incorporated herein by reference. It is anticipated that the issuance of Common Stock to the Lenders under the Restructuring Agreement will be made in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder since the issuance will not involve a public offering, the Lenders will acquire the securities for investment and not resale, and the Company will take appropriate measures to restrict transfer of the securities.

 

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

 

The disclosure set forth above under Item 1.01 in connection with the Restructuring Agreement is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Additional Information

 

As previously mentioned, the Company intends to file the Information Statement with the SEC for the purpose of informing its stockholders of the written actions taken by the Consenting Majority Stockholders. The Company’s stockholders are urged to read the Information Statement when it becomes available and any other relevant documents filed with the SEC, as well as any amendments or supplements to those documents, because they will contain important information. A free copy of the Information Statement, as well as other filings with the SEC containing information about the Company and the Restructuring Transactions, may be obtained, when available, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Copies of the Information Statement may also be obtained, when available, without charge, by calling the Company at (406) 388-0480 or sending your request in writing to the Company at the following address: 664 Cruiser Lane, Belgrade, Montana 59714, Attention: Investor Relations.

RESTRUCTURING AND EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

 

This RESTRUCTURING AND EXCHANGE AGREEMENT, dated as of August 7, 2020 (this “Agreement”), by and among: (i) Xtant Medical Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”); and (ii) OrbiMed Royalty Opportunities II, LP, as a lender under the Existing Credit Agreement (in such capacity, “OrbiMed”) and ROS Acquisition Offshore LP, as a lender under the Existing Credit Agreement (in such capacity, “ROS” and, together with OrbiMed, the “Lenders”). Each of the Company and the Lenders may hereinafter be referred to as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”. Capitalized terms that are used and are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in Section 1.1.

During the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the Closing Date, the Company shall promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days thereafter, give written notice to the Lenders after knowing of any development or event which could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Preliminary Information Statement or the Definitive Information Statement will be made by the Company without providing the Lenders a reasonable opportunity to review and comment reasonably and in good faith thereon, except to the extent doing so would not permit compliance with Applicable Law with respect thereto. If any information relating to the Company, or any of its Affiliates, directors or officers, should be discovered by the Company which is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Definitive Information Statement, so that such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the Company shall promptly notify the Lenders and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by Applicable Law, disseminated to the Company stockholders.

Any response to the SEC and any amendments or supplements to the Preliminary Information Statement or the Definitive Information Statement shall be subject to the Lenders’ approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The issuance of the Resulting Shares and the Charter Amendment contemplated by the Company Stockholder Approval may not occur or become effective, as the case may be, prior to the end of the 20 calendar days’ waiting period after the Definitive Information Statement is sent to all holders of Common Stock as of the Record Date in accordance with Rule 14c-2(b) of the Exchange Act.

 

(f) Company Stockholder Approval.

Once the Company has established a record date, by giving notice to the NYSE American, for purposes of obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company shall not change such record date or establish a different record date for the same purposes without the prior written consent of the Lenders, unless required to do so by Applicable Law or the Company’s bylaws.

The Company shall cause a registration statement relating to the Rights Offering (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable after the Closing. The Company agrees to respond to any comments or requests of the SEC, and to file any necessary amendments to the Registration Statement, as promptly as practicable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not make any such filings related to the Rights Offering without the prior written consent of the Lenders, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Company may withdraw the Registration Statement in the event the Company Stockholder Approval is not obtained.

 

(h) Reasonable Best Efforts. The Company shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Restructuring Transactions, including (i) taking of all acts necessary to cause the conditions to the Closing to be satisfied as promptly as practicable, (ii) ensuring that all steps set forth in Section 2.1 occur as promptly as practicable, (iii) making all filings related to the Rights Offering with applicable Governmental Authorities, and taking all actions necessary to ensure a timely launch of the Rights Offering, as promptly as practicable and (iv) making all filings related to the other Restructuring Transactions with applicable Governmental Authorities as promptly as practicable.

 

(i) Record Date. If the Company has set the record date for purposes of the Company Stockholder Approval by giving notice to the NYSE American but is unable to rely on such record date for such purposes for any reason, the Company shall reset the record date (and shall notify the NYSE American of such new record date) for such purposes, with the Lenders’ consent, unless otherwise required to do so by Applicable Law or the Company’s bylaws. If necessary, the Company, with the Lenders’ consent, shall reset the record date for purposes of obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval multiple times and the Company’s board of directors shall adopt board resolutions or written consents for each such setting or re-setting of the record date for purposes of obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval.

 

(j) Access to Information. From the date hereof until the Closing Date, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to: (i) provide to the Lenders reasonable access to the directors, officers, employees, properties, facilities, books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries and (ii) furnish to the Lenders information concerning the business, properties, assets, liabilities, Equity Interests and other aspects of the Company and its Subsidiaries as the Lenders may reasonably request.

As promptly as practicable after the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company shall cause the Rights Offering Shares and the Resulting Shares to be approved for listing on the NYSE American, subject to official notice of issuance. The Company shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to maintain the listing of the Common Stock on the NYSE American (or, if the Common Stock is delisted on the NYSE American, to cause the Common Stock to be quoted on one or more over-the-counter interdealer quotation services satisfactory to the Lenders immediately following such delisting).

 

(l) Charter Amendment. The Company shall cause the Charter Amendment to become effective at the Closing.

For the period commencing as of the date each Party executes this Agreement until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof or the Closing Date (such period, the “Restricted Period”), no Lender shall sell, transfer or assign any Exchanging Loans. Except as expressly provided in the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall in no way restrict the right or ability of any Lender to sell, transfer or assign any Equity Interests.

2. Shelf Registration. (a) The Company will, no later than the ninetieth (90th) day after the Closing Date, file with the Commission a Shelf Registration Statement (which, initially, will be on Form S-1 and, as soon as the Company is eligible, will be on Form S-3) providing for the registration of the offer and sale, from time to time on a continuous or delayed basis, of the Registrable Securities by the Holders in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by such Holders, pursuant to Rule 415 (or any successor thereto) under the Securities Act (the “Initial Registration Statement”) and will use its best efforts to cause such Initial Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act no later than the one hundred and eightieth (180th) day after the Closing Date; provided, that if the Commission has notified the Company that it will not review or has no comments to such Initial Registration Statement within one hundred and ten (110) days after the Closing Date, the Company will use its best efforts to cause such Initial Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act no later than the one hundred and twentieth (120th) day after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in this Section 2, in the event the Commission informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, the Company agrees to promptly (i) inform each of the Holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Initial Registration Statement as required by the Commission and/or (ii) withdraw the Initial Registration Statement and file a new registration statement (a “New Registration Statement”), in either case covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the Commission, on Form S-3 or, if the Company is ineligible to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, or such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment or New Registration Statement, the Company shall be obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the SEC Guidance, including without limitation, the Securities Act Rules Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations Question 612.09. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Shelf Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater number of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a Holder as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Shelf Registration Statement will first be reduced by securities to be included other than Registrable Securities, and second be reduced by Registrable Securities applied to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Common Shares held by such Holders, subject to a determination by the Commission that certain Holders must be reduced first based on the number of Common Shares held by such Holders. In the event the Company amends the Initial Registration Statement or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by the Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Initial Registration Statement, as amended, or the New Registration Statement (the “Remainder Registration Statements”).

 

- 3 -

 

 

(b) The Company will use its best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required by the Securities Act, in order to permit the related Prospectus to be usable by Holders for a period (the “Shelf Registration Period”) from the date the Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective to, and including, the date upon which no Registrable Securities are outstanding and constitute “restricted securities” (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act).

 

(c) The Company will cause the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement or such amendment or supplement, (i) to comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act; and (ii) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

 

(d) Subject to applicable law, the Company will provide written notice to the Holders of the anticipated effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement at least ten (10) Business Days before such anticipated effective date. Each Holder, in order to be named in the Shelf Registration Statement at the time of its initial effectiveness, will be required to deliver a Notice and Questionnaire and such other information as the Company may reasonably request in writing, if any, to the Company on or before the fifth (5th) day before the anticipated effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement as provided in the notice. Subject to Section 3(i), from and after the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company will, as promptly as is practicable after the date a Holder’s Notice and Questionnaire is delivered, but in no event after the tenth (10th) day after such date, (i) file with the Commission an amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement or prepare and, if permitted or required by applicable law, file a supplement to the Prospectus or an amendment or supplement to any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that such Holder delivering such Notice and Questionnaire is named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus, and so that such Holder is permitted to deliver such Prospectus to purchasers of Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable law (except that the Company will not be required to file more than one supplement or post-effective amendment in any thirty (30) day period in accordance with this Section 2(d)(i)) and, in the case of a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company will use its best efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is practicable; (ii) provide such Holder, upon request, copies of any documents filed pursuant to Section 2(d)(i); and (iii) notify such Holder as promptly as practicable after the effectiveness under the Securities Act of any post-effective amendment filed pursuant to Section 2(d)(i); provided, however, that if such Notice and Questionnaire is delivered during a Deferral Period, then the Company will so inform the Holder delivering such Notice and Questionnaire and will take the actions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above upon expiration of the Deferral Period in accordance with Section 3(i). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company need not name any Holder that is not a Notice Holder as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus; provided, however, that any Holder that becomes a Notice Holder pursuant to this Section 2(d) (whether or not such Holder was a Notice Holder at the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement) will be named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus in accordance with this Section 2(d).

 

3. Registration Procedures. The following provisions will apply in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement.

 

(a) The Company will:

 

(i) furnish to the Exchange Parties and to counsel for the Notice Holders, not less than five (5) Business Days before the filing thereof with the Commission, a copy of the Shelf Registration Statement and each amendment thereto and each amendment or supplement, if any, to the Prospectus (other than amendments and supplements that do nothing more than name Notice Holders and provide information with respect thereto and other than filings by the Company under the Exchange Act) and will use its best efforts to reflect in each such document, when so filed with the Commission, such comments as the Exchange Parties reasonably propose within three (3) Business Days of the delivery of such copies to the Exchange Parties; and

 

- 4 -

 

 

(ii) include information regarding the Notice Holders and the methods of distribution they have elected for their Registrable Securities provided to the Company in Notices and Questionnaires as necessary to permit such distribution by the methods specified therein.

 

(b) The Company will ensure that:

 

(i) the Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, and any Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, comply in all material respects with the Securities Act; and

 

(ii) the Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment thereto do not, when each becomes effective, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

 

(c) The Company will advise the Exchange Parties, the Notice Holders and any Underwriter that has provided in writing to the Company a telephone or email or other address for notices, and confirm such advice in writing, if requested (which notice pursuant to clauses (ii) to (v), inclusive, below will be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the Company has remedied the basis for such suspension):

 

(i) when the Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment thereto have been filed with the Commission and when the Shelf Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

 

(ii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to the Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus or for additional information;

 

(iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose;

 

(iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Common Stock included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

 

(v) of the happening of any event that requires any change in the Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus so that they do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

 

(d) The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement or the qualification of the securities therein for sale in any jurisdiction and, if issued, to obtain as soon as practicable the withdrawal thereof.

 

- 5 -

 

 

(e) Upon request, the Company will furnish, in electronic or physical form, to each Notice Holder, without charge, one copy of the Shelf Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, including all material incorporated therein by reference, and, if a Notice Holder so requests in writing, all exhibits thereto (including exhibits incorporated by reference therein).

 

(f) During the Shelf Registration Period, the Company will promptly deliver to each Exchange Party, each Notice Holder, and any sales or placement agents or underwriters acting on their behalf, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including the preliminary Prospectus, if any) relating to the Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as such person may reasonably request. Subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement, the Company consents to the use of the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by each of the foregoing in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities.

 

(g) Before any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company will arrange for the qualification of the Registrable Securities for sale under the laws of such U.S. jurisdictions as any Notice reasonably requests and will maintain such qualification in effect so long as required; provided, however, that in no event will the Company be obligated by this Agreement to qualify to do business or as a dealer of securities in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to taxation or service of process in suits in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject. If, at any time during the Shelf Registration Period, the Registrable Securities are not “covered securities” within the meaning of Section 18 of the Securities Act, then the Company will arrange for such qualification (subject to the proviso of the immediately preceding paragraph) in each U.S. jurisdiction of residence of each Notice Holder.

 

(h) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by subsections (c)(ii) to (v), inclusive, above, the Company will promptly (or within the time period provided for by Section 3(i) hereof, if applicable) prepare a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement or an amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or file any other required document so that the Shelf Registration Statement and the Prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

 

(i) Upon the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development, public filings with the Commission or any other material event that, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, makes it appropriate to suspend the availability of the Shelf Registration Statement and the Prospectus, the Company will give notice (without notice of the nature or details of such events) to the Notice Holders that the availability of the Shelf Registration Statement is suspended and, upon receipt of any such notice, each Notice Holder agrees: (i) not to sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement until such Notice Holder receives copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus provided for in Section 3(i), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the Prospectus may be used; and (ii) to hold such notice in confidence. Except in the case of a suspension of the availability of the Shelf Registration Statement and the Prospectus solely as the result of filing a post-effective amendment or supplement to the Prospectus to add additional selling securityholders therein, the period during which the availability of the Shelf Registration Statement and any Prospectus is suspended (the “Deferral Period”) will not exceed an aggregate of (A) thirty (30) days (or, if the Shelf Registration Statement is on Form S-1 (or any successor thereto), sixty (60) days) in any calendar quarter; or (B) sixty (60) days (or, if the shelf registration statement is on Form S-1 (or any successor thereto), ninety (90) days) in any calendar year.

 

- 6 -

 

 

(j) The Company will comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and will make generally available to its securityholders an earnings statement (which need not be audited) satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act as soon as practicable after the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement and in any event no later than forty five (45) days after the end of the twelve (12) month period (or ninety (90) days, if such period is a fiscal year) beginning with the first month of the Company’s first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement.

 

(k) The Company may require each Holder of Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement to furnish to the Company such information regarding the Holder and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably require for inclusion in the Shelf Registration Statement in order to comply with the Securities Act. The Company may exclude from the Shelf Registration Statement the Registrable Securities of any Holder that unreasonably fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving a request from the Company for such information.

 

(l) Subject to Section 6, the Company will enter into customary agreements (including, if requested by the Majority Holders, an underwriting agreement in customary form that, for the avoidance of doubt, will provide for customary representations and warranties, legal opinions, comfort letters and other documents and certifications) and take all other necessary actions in order to expedite or facilitate the registration or the disposition of the Registrable Securities, and in connection therewith, if an underwriting agreement is entered into, cause the same to contain customary indemnification provisions and procedures.

 

(m) Subject to Section 6, for persons who are or may be “underwriters” with respect to the Registrable Securities within the meaning of the Securities Act and who make appropriate requests for information to be used solely for the purpose of taking reasonable steps to establish a due diligence or similar defense in connection with the proposed sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration, the Company will:

 

(i) make reasonably available during business hours for inspection by the Holders, any Underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Holders or any such Underwriter all relevant financial and other records and pertinent corporate documents of the Company and its subsidiaries; and

 

(ii) cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees, accountants and auditors to supply all relevant information reasonably requested by the Holders or any such Underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement as is customary for similar due diligence examinations.

 

- 7 -

 

 

(n) In the event that any Broker-Dealer underwrites any Registrable Securities or participates as a member of an underwriting syndicate or selling group or “participates in an offering” (within the meaning of the FINRA Rules) thereof, whether as a Holder or as an underwriter, placement, sales agent or broker or dealer in respect thereof, or otherwise, the Company will, upon the reasonable request of such Broker-Dealer, comply with any reasonable request of such Broker-Dealer in complying with the FINRA Rules.

 

(o) The Company will use its best efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement.

 

4. Registration Expenses. The Company will bear all expenses incurred in connection with the performance of its obligations under Sections 2 and 3. The Company will reimburse the Exchange Parties and the Holders for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one firm or counsel (which may be a nationally recognized law firm experienced in securities matters designated by the Majority Holders) to act as counsel for the Holders in connection therewith.

 

5. Indemnification and Contribution.

 

(a)  The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and agents of each Holder and each person who controls any Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Shelf Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or caused by the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the party claiming indemnification specifically for inclusion therein.

 

The Company also agrees to provide customary indemnities to, and to contribute as provided in Section 5(d) to Losses of, any underwriters of the Registrable Securities, their officers, directors and employees and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided herein with respect to the Holders.

 

- 8 -

 

 

(b) Each Holder of securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement (including each Exchange Party that is a Holder, in such capacity) severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of the Company’s directors, each of the Company’s officers who sign the Shelf Registration Statement and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each such Holder, but only with reference to written information relating to such Holder furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be acknowledged by each Notice Holder that is not an Exchange Party in such Notice Holder’s Notice and Questionnaire and will be in addition to any liability that any such Notice Holder may otherwise have.

 

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 5 or notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 5, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b), as applicable, above unless and to the extent it has been materially prejudiced through the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses; and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b), as applicable, above. If any action is brought against an indemnified party and it has notified the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to appoint counsel (including local counsel) of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case, the indemnifying party will not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel, other than local counsel if not appointed by the indemnifying party, retained by the indemnified party or parties, except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel will be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel (including local counsel) to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party will have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party will bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party has reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party; (iii) the indemnifying party has not employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) the indemnifying party has authorized the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party will not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one (1) separate law firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified persons. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and does not include an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any such indemnified party.

 

- 9 -

 

 

(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 5 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, then each applicable indemnifying party will have a several, and not joint, obligation to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions) (collectively “Losses”) to which such indemnified party may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by such indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, from the offering of the Registrable Securities and the Shelf Registration Statement that resulted in such Losses; provided, however, that in no case will any underwriter be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the securities purchased by such underwriter under the Shelf Registration Statement that resulted in such Losses. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, then the indemnifying party and the indemnified party will contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of such indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions, or alleged statements or omissions, that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company will be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering of the Notes (before deducting expenses). Benefits received by any Holder will be deemed to be equal to the value of having the offer and sale of such Holder’s Registrable Securities registered under the Securities Act pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and hereunder. Benefits received by any underwriter will be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus relating to the Shelf Registration Statement that resulted in such Losses. Relative fault will be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the indemnifying party, on the one hand, or by the indemnified party, on the other hand, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5(d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 5, each person who controls a Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee, Affiliate and agent of such Holder will have the same rights to contribution as such Holder, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who signed the Shelf Registration Statement and each director of the Company will have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this Section 5(d).

 

- 10 -

 

 

(e) The provisions of this Section 5 will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Exchange Party or Holder or the Company or any of the indemnified persons referred to in this Section 5, and will survive the sale by a Holder of securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement.

 

6. Underwritten Registrations. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event will the method of distribution of Registrable Securities take the form of an underwritten offering without the prior written consent of the Company. Consent may be conditioned on waivers of any of the obligations in Section 3, 4 or 5.

 

(b) If any Registrable Securities are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the Managing Underwriters will be selected by the Company, subject to the prior written consent of the Majority Holders, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

 

(c) No person may participate in any underwritten offering pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement unless such person: (i) agrees to sell such person’s Registrable Securities on the basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements; and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

 

7. No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company has not entered into, and agrees not to enter into, any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the registration rights granted to the Holders herein.

 

8. Rule 144A and Rule 144. So long as any Registrable Securities remain outstanding, the Company will file the reports required to be filed by it under Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act and the reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act in a timely manner and, if at any time the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the written request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, make publicly available other information so long as necessary to permit sales of such Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to Rules 144 and 144A of the Securities Act. The Company covenants that it will take such further action as any Holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A (including, without limitation, satisfying the requirements of Rule 144A(d)(4)). Upon the written request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8, nothing in this Section 8 will be deemed to require the Company to register any of its securities pursuant to the Exchange Act.

 

- 11 -

 

 

9. Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, qualified, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Company has obtained the written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities; provided, however, that this Section 9 may not be amended, qualified, modified or supplemented, and waivers of or consents to departures from this Section 9 may not be given, unless the Company has obtained the written consent of each Exchange Party and each Holder.

 

10. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder will be made in writing by hand-delivery, first-class mail, telex, telecopier, email or air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery:

 

(a) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such holder to the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Notice and Questionnaire.

 

(b) if to any Exchange Party, initially at the address thereof set forth above; and

 

(c) if to the Company, initially at its address set forth in the Restructuring Agreement.

 

All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when received.

 

11. Remedies. Each Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided to it herein or in the Restructuring Agreement or granted by law, including recovery of liquidated or other damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees 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 in any action for specific performance the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

12. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns, including, without the need for an express assignment or any consent by the Company thereto, subsequent Holders, and the indemnified persons referred to in Section 5. The Company hereby agrees to extend the benefits of this Agreement to any Holder, and any such Holder may specifically enforce the provisions of this Agreement as if an original party hereto.

 

13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

 

14. Headings. The section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation hereof.

 

15. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

- 12 -

 

 

16. Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions hereof will not be in any way impaired or affected thereby, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of the parties will be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

17. Common Stock Held by the Company, Etc. Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of securities is required hereunder, securities held by the Company or its Affiliates (other than subsequent Holders thereof if such subsequent Holders are deemed to be Affiliates solely by reason of their holdings of such securities) will not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage.

SELLING SECURITY HOLDER NOTICE AND QUESTIONNAIRE

 

The undersigned beneficial holder of Registrable Securities of Xtant Medical Holdings, Inc. (the ‘‘Company’’) understands that the Company has filed, or intends to file, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘‘Commission’’) a registration statement (the ‘‘Shelf Registration Statement’’) for the registration and resale, under Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the ‘‘Securities Act’’), of the Registrable Securities, in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement (the ‘‘Registration Rights Agreement’’), dated _______________, 2020, among the Company and the Exchange Parties party thereto. A copy of the Registration Rights Agreement is available from the Company upon request at the address set forth below. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

Each beneficial owner of Registrable Securities is entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement. In order to sell or otherwise dispose of any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, a beneficial owner of Registrable Securities generally must be named as a selling security holder in the related prospectus or prospectus supplement(s), deliver a prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement(s) to the purchasers of the Registrable Securities and be bound by those provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement applicable to such beneficial owner (including certain indemnification provisions, as described below). Beneficial owners that do not complete this Notice and Questionnaire and deliver it to the Company as provided below will not be named as selling security holders in the prospectus and will not be permitted to sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement. Beneficial owners are encouraged to complete, execute and deliver this Notice and Questionnaire as soon as possible before the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement so that they may be named as selling security holders in the prospectus forming part of the Shelf Registration Statement at the time it initially becomes effective. A beneficial owner of Registrable Securities wishing to include its Registrable Securities in the Shelf Registration Statement must deliver to the Company a properly completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire.

 

The Company has agreed to pay additional interest pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement under certain circumstances as set forth therein.

 

Certain legal consequences arise from being named as a selling security holder in the Shelf Registration Statement and the related prospectus or prospectus supplement(s). Accordingly, holders and beneficial owners of Registrable Securities should consult their legal counsel regarding the consequences of being named or not being named as a selling security holder in the Shelf Registration Statement and the related prospectus or prospectus supplement(s).

The undersigned beneficial owner (the ‘‘Selling Security Holder’’) of Registrable Securities hereby gives notice to the Company of its intention to sell or otherwise dispose of Registrable Securities beneficially owned by it and listed below in Item 3 (unless otherwise specified under such Item 3) pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement. The undersigned, by signing and returning this Notice and Questionnaire, understands that it will be bound by the terms and conditions of this Notice and Questionnaire and the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the undersigned has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the‘‘Exchange Act’’), from and against certain claims and losses arising in connection with statements or omissions concerning the undersigned made in the Shelf Registration Statement or the related prospectus or prospectus supplement(s) in reliance upon the information provided by the undersigned.

6. Plan of distribution:

 

Except as set forth below, the undersigned (including its donees, pledges, transferees and other successors in interest) intends to distribute the Registrable Securities listed in Item 3 above pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement only as follows (if at all):

 

Such Registrable Securities may be sold from time to time directly by the undersigned or, alternatively, through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the Registrable Securities are sold through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, the Selling Security Holder will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agents’ commissions. Such Registrable Securities may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. Such sales may be effected in transactions (which may involve block transactions) (1) on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the Registrable Securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, (2) in the over-the-counter market, (3) otherwise than on such exchanges or services or in the over-the-counter market or (4) through the writing of options. In connection with sales of the Registrable Securities or otherwise, the undersigned may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Registrable Securities in the course of the hedging positions they assume. The undersigned may also sell Registrable Securities short and deliver Registrable Securities to close out short positions or loan or pledge Registrable Securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such securities. The Selling Security Holder may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Registrable Securities owned by it, and, if it defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the Registrable Securities from time to time pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement. The Selling Security Holder also may transfer, donate, pledge or otherwise dispose of shares in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling Security Holder for purposes of the Shelf Registration Statement to the extent permitted by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

State any exceptions here:

 

Note: In no event will such method(s) of distribution take the form of an underwritten offering of the

Registrable Securities without the prior agreement of the Company.

 

The Company hereby advises each Selling Security Holder of the following Compliance and Disclosure

Interpretation of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Commission:

 

An issuer filed a Form S-3 registration statement for a secondary offering of common stock which is not yet effective. One of the selling shareholders wanted to do a short sale of common stock ‘‘against the box’’ and cover the short sale with registered shares after the effective date. The issuer was advised that the short sale could not be made before the registration statement becomes effective, because the shares underlying the short sale are deemed to be sold at the time such sale is made. There would, therefore, be a violation of Section 5 if the shares were effectively sold prior to the effective date.

 

By returning this Notice and Questionnaire, the Selling Security Holder will be deemed to be aware of the foregoing interpretation.

 

7. Broker-dealers and their affiliates:

Xtant Medical Announces Debt Restructuring

 

BELGRADE, MT, August 10, 2020 – Xtant Medical Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: XTNT), a global medical technology company focused on surgical solutions for the treatment of spinal disorders, today announced that it has entered into a Restructuring and Exchange Agreement with the lenders under its credit facility pursuant to which the parties agreed to take certain actions to restructure Xtant’s outstanding indebtedness, including the exchange of certain indebtedness outstanding under the facility, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, into shares of Xtant common stock.

 

The primary purpose of the restructuring is to improve Xtant’s capital structure by reducing its outstanding debt, which the Company expects will facilitate future access to capital markets for investment in its growth initiatives, and provide a path to possibly regain compliance with the NYSE American continued listing standards.

 

“We are pleased to have signed this agreement with our lenders, which are affiliated with OrbiMed Advisors LLC, who currently hold all of our outstanding indebtedness under our credit facility and over 70% of our outstanding common stock. The completion of this restructuring will significantly reduce Xtant’s total indebtedness leaving less than $17 million drawn under our credit facility post-transaction, lower our cost of debt to more serviceable levels, and allow us to focus on further improving the Company’s operating model and growth profile. Our restructured balance sheet, combined with our recently announced cost saving measures, will allow management to place even greater attention on our mission of ‘honoring the gift of donation, so that our patients can live as full a life as possible.’” said Sean Browne, President and CEO of Xtant Medical.

 

The restructuring transactions contemplated under the Restructuring and Exchange Agreement include, among others:

 

  an amendment to Xtant’s charter to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 75 million to 300 million;
     
  the exchange by Xtant of shares of common stock for approximately $40.8 million of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the loans outstanding under the credit agreement, as well as, without duplication, approximately $21.1 million of the outstanding amount of PIK Interest (as defined in the credit agreement) (such loans and PIK Interest, referred to as the “exchanging loans”), plus all other accrued and unpaid interest on the exchanging loans outstanding as of the closing date, at an exchange price of $1.07 per share, representing the average closing price of the common stock over the 10 trading days immediately prior to the parties entering into the Restructuring and Exchange Agreement, and resulting in the issuance of approximately 57.8 million shares of Xtant common stock to the lenders;
     
  the execution of an amendment to the credit agreement by the parties thereto to change certain provisions therein, including extinguishing loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the exchanging loans outstanding thereunder together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, adding loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the prepayment fee payable thereunder in respect of the exchanging loans, reducing the amount of credit availability thereunder, reducing the interest rate and eliminating certain financial covenants; and
     
  the launch by Xtant of a rights offering to allow stockholders of the Company to purchase up to an aggregate of $15 million of Xtant common stock at the same price per share as the $1.07 per share exchange price used to exchange the exchanging loans into common stock.

 

 
     

 

Immediately after the signing of the Restructuring and Exchange Agreement, Xtant solicited and obtained the written consent of OrbiMed Royalty Opportunities II, LP and ROS Acquisition Offshore LP, the holders of an aggregate of approximately 9.25 million shares of common stock, representing a majority of the outstanding shares of Xtant common stock as of the record date, August 7, 2020, for the approval of the charter amendment and the share issuance. The written consent of these two stockholders was sufficient to approve the charter amendment and the share issuance. Therefore, no proxies or additional consents will be solicited by Xtant in connection with the transaction.

 

Pursuant to applicable federal securities and corporate laws, Xtant intends to file an information statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and send it to all holders of its common stock as of August 7, 2020 for the purpose of informing such stockholders of the written actions taken by the two consenting stockholders. In accordance with applicable federal securities laws, the stockholder consent of the two consenting stockholders will become effective no sooner than 20 calendar days following the mailing of the information statement. After the expiration of this 20-day period, Xtant intends to file the charter amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and, immediately thereafter, issue the 57.8 million shares of common stock to the lenders in exchange for the exchanging loans. After completion of that transaction, Xtant intends to commence a rights offering to provide all stockholders as of a record date to be determined at a future date the opportunity to purchase Xtant common stock at the same price per share as the $1.07 exchange price used in the debt restructuring.

 

“The Board, as well as our controlling stockholder, OrbiMed, are cognizant of the significant dilution that will result from the completion of the debt restructuring, which may be alleviated to some extent by the subsequent rights offering that we intend to launch thereafter,” continued Mr. Browne. “As a management team, we are anxious to put the NYSE American compliance issue and debt restructuring behind us so that we can continue to focus on providing critical spinal surgical solutions to patients in need, developing the commercial spine market and improving our overall operational efficiencies.”
