"Company"
) that he was resigning from the Board of Directors of the Company (the
"Board"
), effective May 14, 2021. Mr. Sambur's decision to resign was not because of any disagreement with the Company, management or the Board. Mr. Sambur was designated by AP Fort Holdings, L.P., an affiliate of Apollo Global Management, Inc. (
"Apollo"
), to serve on the Board pursuant to the Investment Agreement, dated as of April 23, 2020, by and between the Company and Apollo (the
"Investment Agreement"
). The Investment Agreement provides that Apollo is entitled to designate one director and one non-voting observer to the Board, in each case until such time as Apollo (together with its Permitted Transferees (as defined in the Investment Agreement)) no longer beneficially owns (a) at least 50% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, purchased by Apollo under the Investment Agreement (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances) and (b) warrants (
"Warrants"
) to purchase shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (
"Common Stock"
) and/or Common Stock for which the Warrants are exercisable that represent in the aggregate and on an as-exercised basis, at least 50% of the shares underlying the Warrants purchased by Apollo under the Investment Agreement. Apollo (together with its Permitted Transferees) no longer beneficially owns any Warrants or shares of Common Stock and, accordingly, will not be entitled to nominate a representative to the Board to replace Mr. Sambur.
