Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes
- Extension of Forbearance: On July 29, 2020, both ABL Lenders (led by CIT Finance LLC) and Term Loan Lenders (led by Jefferies Finance LLC) confirmed via email that they agreed to extend the forbearance period.
- New Deadline: The forbearance period, which was previously set to expire on July 30, 2020, has been extended to August 6, 2020.
- Conditions: The extension is contingent upon the Company remaining in compliance with the Credit Agreements and the terms of the Amended Forbearance Agreements.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
The Company announced these amendments via a press release on July 30, 2020. The primary risk highlighted is the existence of defaults under the Credit Agreements, which necessitated the forbearance. The extension provides a short-term window (until August 6, 2020) to resolve these defaults or negotiate further terms. Failure to comply with the agreement terms could result in lenders exercising rights and remedies.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the specific defaults cited in the Existing Forbearance Agreements that triggered the need for extension.
- Confirm whether the Company has secured additional financing or a restructuring plan before the August 6, 2020 deadline.
- Review the full text of the email correspondences (Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2) for any additional covenants or conditions attached to the extension.
- Monitor subsequent filings for any further amendments or declarations of default after August 6, 2020.
