Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 5, 2019, Deerfield Partners, L.P., Deerfield Special Situations Fund, L.P. and Deerfield Private Design Fund IV, L.P. (the "Exchanging Holders") entered into an exchange agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") with the Issuers pursuant to which such Exchanging Holders agreed to exchange with the Issuers on the settlement date of the Exchange Offers, separate from such Exchange Offers, their holdings of Existing Notes (comprised of approximately $67.6 million aggregate principal amount of Existing 4.875% 2020 Notes, approximately $258.7 million aggregate principal amount of the Existing 4.750% 2023 Notes, approximately $98.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Existing 5.625% 2023 Notes and approximately $75.2 million aggregate principal amount of Existing 5.500% 2025 Notes) for approximately $227.0 million aggregate principal amount of New Notes.
Among other things, the Exchange Agreement provides that the exchange by the Exchanging Holders of Existing Notes on the settlement date of the Exchange Offers pursuant to the Exchange Agreement will not be subject to proration. The Exchanging Holders have also agreed to consent to the Proposed Amendments with respect to all of such Exchanging Holders' Existing Notes that are the subject of the Consent Solicitations. In addition, under the Exchange Agreement, the Issuers have granted an option to the Exchanging Holders, exercisable up to five times for 60 days after the date the Exchange Offers are consummated, to exchange any Existing Notes they may acquire after the execution of the Exchange Agreement for up to $100 million aggregate principal amount of additional New Notes (provided that any such subsequently acquired Existing Non-2020 Notes may only be exchanged for up to $75 million aggregate principal amount of additional New Notes and that the aggregate principal amount of New Notes to be issued upon the exercise of each such option may not be less than the lesser of (x) $10 million and (y) the entire remaining amount available with respect to such options). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Exchanging Holders are entitled to receive in exchange for their Existing Notes exchanged in connection with the exercise of such option the same amount of New Notes that eligible holders participating in the Exchange Offers are entitled to receive in the applicable Exchange Offers for each $1,000 principal amount of Existing Notes exchanged.
