The Reporting Persons are filing jointly, and the agreement among them to file jointly is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference.

(f) | Baupost is a Massachusetts limited liability company, SAK is a Massachusetts corporation, and Mr. Klarman is a citizen of the United States of America. |
Item 3. |
Source
and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
|
On March 15, 2016, certain private investment limited partnerships advised by Baupost agreed to purchase $75 million aggregate principal amount of 0% Senior Secured Convertible Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”), 100,000 shares of Series Z Non-Convertible, Non-Voting Preferred Stock (the "Shares"), and warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock from the Issuer in a private placement.
The total amount of funds used for the purchase of the Notes, Shares, and Warrants was $75 million. The source of funds for the purchase of the Notes and the shares of Common Stock is the capital of the private investment limited partnerships. |
Item 4. |
Purpose
of Transaction
|
In connection with the acquisition of the Notes, Shares and Warrants, the Issuer agreed to use its best efforts to obtain the requisite approval (“Stockholder Approval”) from its shareholders to (a) amend the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to increase the total number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to permit the conversion of all outstanding Notes and Warrants into shares of Common Stock at the then applicable Conversion Rate (as defined below) or exercise price; (b) approve the sale and issuance of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants, based on the then applicable Conversion Price or exercise price, as applicable, as required by Nasdaq Rule 5365; and (c) approve the sale and issuance of the shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Notes and exercise of the Warrants to Baupost that may result in a change of control (as interpreted by The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC) of the Issuer as required by Nasdaq Rule 5365(b).
From and after September 21, 2016 (the “Trigger Date”) and if Stockholder Approval has not been obtained, all or any portion of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes shall be convertible, at any time, in the sole discretion of the holder, into an amount of cash determined by multiplying (i) the Conversion Rate by (ii) the average of the volume weighted average price per share during a 5-day observation period (the “Average Daily VWAP”); in addition, if the Issuer does not receive Stockholder Approval by the Trigger Date, the Notes held by qualifying Purchasers will bear interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum and the Conversion Rate shall be increased by 20% until Stockholder Approval is obtained. From and after the date that the Issuer obtains Stockholder Approval, the Notes shall only be convertible (without regard to the Trigger Date) into a number of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer at the Conversion Rate. In the event of a change of control transaction at any time and without regard to the Trigger Date or whether Stockholder Approval is obtained, the Notes will be convertible for a period beginning on the closing of such change of control transaction and ending 35 trading days after the closing of such transaction. The Conversion Rate will initially be 1,333.33 shares of Common Stock for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of $0.75 per share of Common Stock. The Conversion Rate and the corresponding conversion price will be subject to adjustment for certain events, but will not be adjusted for accrued and unpaid interest. The Conversion Rate and the corresponding conversion price will be subject to adjustment for certain events, but will not be adjusted for accrued and unpaid interest. From and after the Trigger Date and if Stockholder Approval has not been obtained, all or any portion of the Warrants will be exercisable, at any time, in the sole discretion of the holder, into an amount of cash determined by multiplying the number of Warrants exercised by the sum of: (i) the Average Daily VWAP minus (ii) the Exercise Price. From and after the date that the Issuer obtains Stockholder Approval, the Warrants shall only be exercisable (without regard to the Trigger Date) for a number of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer at the Exercise Price. In the event of a change of control transaction at any time and without regard to the Trigger Date or whether Stockholder Approval is obtained, the Warrants will be exercisable for a period beginning on closing of such change of control transaction and ending 35 trading days after such transaction. The Exercise Price of the Warrants is $1.50 and the Warrants expire September 21, 2026. Baupost is not entitled to take delivery of any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes or the exercise of the Warrants to the extent (but only to the extent) that after such receipt of any shares of Common Stock upon conversion or exercise, Baupost and its affiliates’ beneficial ownership would exceed 37.5% of the outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock. Baupost is entitled to designate two directors for so long as it and its affiliates hold at least 20% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock and one director for so long as it and its affiliates hold at least 10% but less than 20% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock and is entitled to have a representative serve as a non-voting board observer until the date Baupost or its affiliates have ownership of less than 10% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock. The Issuer has agreed to increase the size of the Board from eight to ten directors at such time as Baupost appoints such directors to the Board with a term expiring at the Issuer’s annual meeting of its stockholders occurring in 2018. In addition, the Issuer granted Baupost and the other purchasers certain customary demand and piggyback registration rights with respect to shares of Common Stock. Immediately prior to the closing of the transaction, the Issuer filed a Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series Z Non-Convertible, Non-Voting Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Certificate of Designations designates 220,000 shares of the Company’s authorized preferred stock as Series Z Non-Convertible, Non-Voting Preferred Stock and sets forth the rights, powers and preferences of the Shares. If a fundamental change occurs at any time prior to December 31, 2020, the holders of Shares then outstanding will be immediately paid, out of the assets of the Company or the proceeds of such fundamental change, as applicable, and legally available for distribution to its stockholders, an amount in cash equal to the Fundamental Change Amount (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) per Share, if any; and (y) no distributions or payments will be made in respect of any junior securities unless all Fundamental Change Amounts, if any, are first paid in full. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and expect to engage in discussions with management and the board of directors of the Issuer, other holders of Common Stock, financing sources, and other relevant parties, including other industry participants (including companies in which the Reporting Persons may have an investment) concerning the business, operations, governance, strategy, capitalization, ownership and future plans of the Issuer and the management and board composition of the Issuer or commercial or strategic transactions with, or relating, to the Issuer. The Reporting Person may change its plans or proposals in the future. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer's financial position, strategic direction, business and prospects, anticipated future developments, existing and anticipated market conditions from time to time, actions taken by the management and board of directors of the Issuer, price levels of the Common Stock, general economic conditions and regulatory matters, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to its investment in the Issuer as it deems appropriate including, without limitation, purchasing additional Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer, selling some or all of their Common Stock or engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the Common Stock, to the extent permitted under applicable law, or engage, discuss, participate in, negotiate, or approve a transaction (including commercial or strategic transactions with, or relating to, the Issuer) with the purpose or effect of changing or influencing the control of the Issuer, including by entering into one or more confidentiality agreements, standstill agreements, voting or support agreements, or other similar agreements with the purpose or effect of facilitating such a transaction. Any such transactions, if they occur at all, may take place at any time and without prior notice. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to change their intention with respect to any or all of the matters referred to in this Item 4. |
(a) | Except for the foregoing, the Reporting Persons do not have, as of the date of this filing, any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions or events specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. |
