Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 1, 2022, Triumph Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), announced that the Board of Directors of the Company declared a distribution (the “Warrant Distribution”) to the holders of record of the Company’s shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), in the form of warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”). The Warrants were issued on the terms and conditions described in the Warrant Agreement (as defined below and attached as an exhibit hereto) and will be distributed on December 19, 2022, to the holders of record of Common Stock as of the close of business on December 12, 2022 (the “Record Date”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, dated as of December 19, 2022, between the Company, Computershare Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its affiliate Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as Warrant Agent (the “Warrant Agreement”), each holder of record of Common Stock as of the Record Date will receive three Warrants for every ten shares of Common Stock (rounded down for any fractional Warrant), owned on the Record Date, expected to be approximately 19,499,930 Warrants in the aggregate. The Company’s determination of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued on any exercise of Warrants and the validity of such exercise, pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, will govern.

Each Warrant will represent the right to purchase initially one share of Common Stock, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments (“Warrant Shares Per Warrant”), at an exercise price of $12.35 per Warrant (the “Exercise Price”), subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments (the “Implied Per Share Exercise Price”). Payment for shares of Common Stock on exercise of Warrants may be in (i) cash or (ii) under certain circumstances, Designated Notes (as defined below). In the event Designated Notes are used to pay for the exercise of the Warrants, accrued interest (in addition to the stated aggregate principal amount) will be forfeited upon exercise, unless exercise occurs after a record date for the payment of interest and before the resulting scheduled payment date (in which case note holders will receive the scheduled interest payment).

“Designated Notes” means, collectively, any of the issued and outstanding notes of the Company as designated or undesignated by the Company from time to time; provided that any designation by the Company of a particular series of notes as “Designated Notes” shall retain such designation for a minimum of 20 consecutive Business Days from (and including) the date of publication of notice of the same by press release. The Company also has the right, but not obligation, to remove one or more series of its notes from being “Designated Notes,” but such redesignation shall only be effective 20 consecutive Business Days from (and including) the date of publication of notice of the same by press release. The Company initially designates the following notes as “Designated Notes”: 8.875% Senior Secured First Lien Notes due June 1, 2024, 6.250% Senior Secured Notes due September 15, 2024 and 7.750% Senior Notes due August 15, 2025.

In the event that a Warrant is exercised prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on (x) the Price Condition Date (as defined below), or (y) the date that the Company issues a Redemption Notice (as defined below), a holder may elect to pay an additional amount equal to $1.8525 (being 0.15 multiplied by the Exercise Price) in exchange for an additional number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of 0.15 and the Warrant Shares Per Warrant applicable to the relevant exercise on the terms specified in the Warrant Agreement.

The Warrants may be exercised until 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Expiration Date, as defined in the Warrant Agreement, which is currently December 19, 2023, subject to (i) the right of the Company to redeem the Warrants on not less than 20 calendar days’ notice (any such date of redemption, the “Redemption Date” and any such date of notice a “Redemption Notice”) at a price of 1/10 of $0.01 per Warrant and (ii) the automatic acceleration of the Expiration Date following the Price Condition Date, as defined and described below.

Unless the Company has previously issued a Redemption Notice with respect to the Warrants, then following the last day of the first 30 consecutive trading day period to occur in which daily volume weighted average prices of the shares of Common Stock has been at least equal to the then applicable Implied Per Share Exercise Price on each of 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) (the “Price Condition”), the Expiration Date will automatically accelerate to the date that is the 5th Business Day following Price Condition Date; provided that the Company may, at its sole option, elect a later Expiration Date by providing public notice no later than the Price Condition Date. The “Price Condition Date” is the first Business Day following the last Trading Day of the period in which the Price Condition is met.

Any holder that exercises any Warrant(s) from and after (a) 5:00 p.m. New York city time on the earlier of (x) a Price Condition Date and (y) the date that the Company issues a Redemption Notice until (b) 5:00 p.m. New York City time on, as applicable, (x) the Expiration Date and (y) the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date (the last day of such period, the “Over-Subscription Deadline”), may, subject to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, elect to subscribe for any or all of the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to any outstanding but unexercised Warrants as of the Over-Subscription Deadline.

Holders may exercise the Warrants by delivering a completed form of election to purchase shares of Common Stock and payment of the then-current exercise price in U.S. dollars by check payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account of the Company, or, under certain circumstances, with Designated Notes at face

 


 

value. Upon such delivery, the Company will issue such whole number of shares of Common Stock as the exercising Warrant holder is entitled to receive.

An ownership limitation is in place such that a holder of Warrants is not permitted to exercise Warrants for any shares of Common Stock if following such exercise the holder will have beneficial ownership of Common Stock in excess of 4.9% of the then issued and outstanding Common Stock (excluding shares held by subsidiaries); provided, that a holder of Common Stock in excess of 4.9% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on December 1, 2022 will be entitled to exercise Warrants received in the Warrant Distribution, but only to the extent such holder’s receipt of such Common Stock is permitted by a waiver in effect at such time that constitutes “Prior Approval of the Company” under the Tax Benefit Preservation Plan, dated March 11, 2022, between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as rights agent.

The Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise are subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments, including for share dividends, splits, subdivisions, spin-offs, consolidations, reclassifications, combinations, noncash distributions and cash dividends.

An application has been made for the Warrants to trade on the over the counter market.

The foregoing description of the Warrants and the Warrant Agreement is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete description of the terms of the Warrants set forth in the Warrant Agreement (including the Form of Warrant attached thereto), which is filed as an exhibit to this Form 8-K.

Article II

Form of Warrant; Beneficial Interests

Section 2.01 Issuance and Registration.

(a) Warrants. The Warrants shall initially be issued to the Warrant Agent on behalf of the registered holders of shares of Common Stock as of the Distribution Record Date, as reflected in the Company’s direct registration system for the Common Stock. The Warrant Agent shall allocate the Warrants to, and register the Warrants in the names of, such registered holders in accordance with the Company’s direct registration system or the Warrant Agent’s other book-entry procedures pursuant to an allocation schedule approved by the Company. Any Warrants registered through the Company’s direct registration system or the Warrant Agent’s other book-entry procedures shall be issued in uncertificated form and shall not be represented by Warrant Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, some or all of the Warrants may, at initial issuance or any time thereafter, be represented by one or more permanent Global Warrants, in definitive, fully registered form with the global securities legend set forth in Exhibit A hereto (each, a “Global Warrant”). Any such Global Warrant shall be deposited on behalf of the relevant Holders with the Warrant Agent, as custodian for the Depositary (or with such other custodian as the Depositary may direct), registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary, and duly executed by the Company and countersigned by the Warrant Agent as hereinafter provided.

7

 


 

(b) Definitive Warrants. Holders of Warrants or holders of beneficial interests in any Global Warrant will not be entitled to physical delivery of Definitive Warrants (except as provided in Section 2.05).

(c) Procedures for Global Warrants. This Section 2.01(c) shall apply only to any Global Warrant deposited with or on behalf of the Depositary.

(i) If any Warrants are to be represented by a Global Warrant, the Company shall execute and the Warrant Agent shall, in accordance with Section 2.02, countersign and deliver initially one or more Global Warrants that (a) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Warrant or Global Warrants or of the nominee of the Depositary and (b) shall be delivered by the Warrant Agent to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instructions or held by the Warrant Agent as custodian for the Depositary.

(ii) Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Agreement with respect to any Global Warrant held on their behalf by the Depositary or by the Warrant Agent as the custodian of the Depositary or under such Global Warrant, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Warrant Agent and any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent as the absolute owner of such Global Warrant for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Warrant Agent or any agent of the Company or the Warrant Agent from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary, or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices of the Depositary governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of a beneficial interest in any Global Warrant.

(d) No Fractional Warrants. The Company shall not issue fractional Warrants or distribute Warrant Certificates which evidence fractional Warrants. If any fractional Warrant would otherwise be required to be issued or distributed pursuant to the Warrant Distribution or otherwise, the Company or Warrant Agent, as applicable, shall round down the total number of Warrants to be issued to the relevant Holder to the nearest whole number.

Section 2.02 Warrant Certificates. If any Warrant Certificates are issued hereunder, then at least one Officer shall sign such Warrant Certificates for the Company by manual, facsimile or portable document format (“PDF”) signature or by means of other electronic transmission.

(a) If an Officer whose signature is on a Warrant Certificate no longer holds that office at the time the Warrant Agent countersigns the Warrant Certificate, the Warrants evidenced by such Warrant Certificate shall be valid, nevertheless.

(b) At any time and from time to time after the execution of this Agreement, the Warrant Agent shall, upon receipt of a written order of the Company signed by an Officer of the Company, countersign, either by manual, facsimile, PDF signature or by means of other electronic transmission, and issue a Warrant Certificate evidencing the number of Warrants specified in such order. Such order shall specify the number of Warrants to be evidenced on the Warrant Certificate to be countersigned, the date on which such Warrant Certificate is to be countersigned, whether

8

 


 

such Warrant Certificate is to be a Global Warrant or a Definitive Warrant, and the number of Warrants then authorized. Each Warrant shall be dated the date of its countersignature.

(c) The Warrants (whether or not evidenced by a Warrant Certificate) shall not be valid until registered on the Warrant Register.

Section 2.03 Warrant Register. The Warrants shall be issued in registered form only. The Warrant Agent shall keep a register (the “Warrant Register”) of the Warrants (and Warrant Certificates, if applicable) and of their transfer and exchange. The Warrant Register shall show the names and addresses of the respective Holders and the date and number of Warrants owned by such Holders (as evidenced on the face of each of the Warrant Certificates, if applicable). The Holder of any Global Warrant will be the Depositary or a nominee in whose name the Global Warrant is registered.

The Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the Person in whose name Warrants are registered in the Warrant Register as the absolute owner of such Warrants for all purposes and regardless of any notice to the contrary.

Section 2.04 Transfer and Exchange.

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Warrants.

(i) The transfer and exchange of Warrants or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the Company’s direct registration system or the Warrant Agent’s other book-entry procedures and, in the case of any Global Warrants, the Depositary, in each case in accordance with this Agreement and the procedures of the Warrant Agent and, as applicable, the Depositary therefor. The Company may instruct the Warrant Agent from time to time that Warrants held by a member of the Board of Directors, an Officer of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company are subject to restrictions on transfers or exchanges related to compliance with applicable securities laws, in which case the Warrant Agent shall not permit the transfer or exchange of such Warrants without the consent of the Company.

(ii) Except as set forth in Section 2.04(a)(iii), a Global Warrant may only be transferred as a whole, and not in part, and only by (x) the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, (y) a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or (z) the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or its nominee.

(iii) In the event that a Global Warrant is exchanged and transferred for Definitive Warrants pursuant to Section 2.05, such Warrants may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.04 and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Company.

(iv) The Warrant Agent shall register the transfer, from time to time, of any Definitive Warrant upon the Warrant Register, upon surrender of such Warrant for transfer, together with any evidence of authority that may be required by the Warrant

9

 


 

Agent, including but not limited to the properly endorsed Warrant with signatures properly guaranteed from an eligible guarantor institution participating in a signature guarantee program approved by the Securities Transfer Association, and accompanied by the appropriate instructions for transfer. Upon any such transfer, one or more new Definitive Warrants representing an equal aggregate number of Definitive Warrants shall be issued and the transferred certificate shall be canceled.

(b) Cancellation or Adjustment of Global Warrant. At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Warrant have been exchanged for Definitive Warrants, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such Global Warrant shall be returned to the Depositary for cancellation or retained and canceled by the Warrant Agent. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Warrant is exchanged for Definitive Warrants, repurchased or canceled, the number of Warrants represented by such Global Warrant shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Warrant Agent (if it is then the Warrant Custodian for such Global Warrant) with respect to such Global Warrant, by the Warrant Agent, to reflect such reduction.

(c) Obligations with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Warrants.

(i) To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Warrant Agent shall countersign, by either manual, facsimile or PDF signature or by means of other electronic transmission, any Global Warrants and Definitive Warrants, if applicable, as required pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.02 and this Section 2.04.

(ii) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange. Any transfer tax, assessments, or similar governmental charge payable in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange shall be paid by the Holder.

(iii) Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Warrant, the Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the Person in whose name Warrants are registered as the absolute owner of such Warrants, and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

(iv) All Warrants issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be valid obligations of the Company, entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Warrants surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

(d) No Obligation of the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Warrant, an Agent Member or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Warrants or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice, or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Warrants. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Warrants shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Warrant). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Warrant shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to

10

 


 

the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Warrant Agent may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners.

Section 2.05 Definitive Warrants.

(a) Subject to Section 2.05(e), beneficial interests in a Global Warrant deposited with the Depositary or with the Warrant Agent as custodian shall be transferred to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of Definitive Warrants in a number equal to the number of Warrants represented by such Global Warrant, in exchange for such Global Warrant, only if such transfer complies with Section 2.04 and (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Global Warrant or if at any time the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act and, in each such case, a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice, or (ii) the Company, in its sole discretion, notifies the Warrant Agent in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Definitive Warrants under this Agreement. In such event, the transfer, exchange or exercise of the Warrants shall be conducted in accordance with the customary procedures of the Warrant Agent.

(b) Any Global Warrant that is transferable to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Warrant Agent, to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge, and the Warrant Agent shall countersign, by either manual, facsimile or PDF signature or by means of other electronic transmission, and deliver to each beneficial owner in the name of such beneficial owner, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Warrant, Definitive Warrants evidencing a number of Warrants equivalent to such beneficial owner’s beneficial interest in the Global Warrant. The Warrant Agent shall register such transfer in the Warrant Register, and upon such transfer the surrendered Global Warrant shall be canceled by the Warrant Agent. Any such Definitive Warrants shall bear such restrictive legends as the Company may instruct.

(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.05(b), the registered Holder of a Global Warrant may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Agreement or the Warrants.

(d) In the event of the occurrence of either of the events specified in Section 2.05(a), the Company will promptly make available to the Warrant Agent a reasonable supply of Definitive Warrants in definitive, fully registered form.

(e) The Depositary shall notify the Warrant Agent of the names and the amounts in which the Definitive Warrants will be issued. Neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent will be liable or responsible for any names or any amounts provided by the Depositary.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of issuing a Definitive Warrant to any Person, the Warrant Agent may, upon the Company’s instruction, register Warrants in the name of such Person through the Company’s direct registration system or the Warrant Agent’s other book-entry procedures.

11

 


 

Section 2.06 Replacement Certificates. If a mutilated Warrant Certificate is surrendered to the Warrant Agent or if the Holder of a Warrant Certificate provides proof reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent that the Warrant Certificate has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Warrant Agent shall countersign, by either manual, facsimile or PDF signature or by means of other electronic transmission, a replacement Warrant Certificate representing an equivalent number of Warrants, if the reasonable requirements of the Warrant Agent are met and absent notice to Warrant Agent that such certificates have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser. Such Holder shall furnish an open penalty surety bond sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the Warrant Agent to protect the Company and the Warrant Agent from any loss that either of them may suffer if a Warrant Certificate is replaced. The Warrant Agent may, at its option, issue replacement Warrants for mutilated certificates upon presentation thereof without such indemnity. The Company and the Warrant Agent may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Warrant Certificate. Every replacement Warrant Certificate evidences an additional obligation of the Company.

Section 2.07 Outstanding Warrants. Warrants outstanding at any time are all Warrants evidenced as outstanding in the Warrant Register (which, in the case of Warrants represented by Warrant Certificates, shall include all Warrant Certificates authenticated by the Warrant Agent excluding those canceled by it and those delivered to it for cancellation). A Warrant does not cease to be outstanding because an Affiliate of the Company holds the Warrant. A Warrant ceases to be outstanding if the Company holds the Warrant.

If a Warrant Certificate is replaced pursuant to Section 2.06, the Warrants evidenced thereby cease to be outstanding unless the Warrant Agent and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Warrant Certificate is held by a protected purchaser (as defined for purposes of the Delaware Uniform Commercial Code).

Section 2.08 Cancellation. In the event the Company shall purchase or otherwise acquire Definitive Warrants, the Company may, at its option, deliver the same to the Warrant Agent for cancellation.

The Warrant Agent and no one else shall cancel all Warrant Certificates surrendered for transfer, exchange, replacement, exercise or cancellation. The Company may not issue new Warrant Certificates to replace Warrant Certificates to the extent they evidence Warrants which have been exercised or Warrants which the Company has canceled.

Section 2.09 CUSIP Numbers. The Company has assigned “CUSIP” numbers in connection with the issuance of the Warrants and the Warrant Agent may use such “CUSIP” numbers in notices as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice shall state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Warrant Certificates or as contained in any notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Warrant Certificates.

Article III

Exercise Terms

Section 3.01 Exercise; Over-Exercise Option; Over-Subscription Option.

(a) Each Warrant shall entitle the Holder thereof to purchase, for each Warrant evidenced thereby, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Warrant Shares Per Warrant in effect in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the relevant Exercise Date, subject to Section 3.06, at an exercise price payable (i) for exercises prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City Time on the Over-Exercise Termination Date, either, at the Holder’s election, (A) in cash in an amount equal to $12.35 per Warrant (the “Exercise Price”) , or (B) by delivering Designated Notes in the manner specified, and subject as provided, in Section 3.04(b)(iii), or (ii) for exercises from and after 5:00 p.m. New York City Time on the Over-Exercise Termination Date, in cash in an amount equal to the Exercise Price. Holders may exercise all or a portion of their Warrants or choose not to exercise any Warrants at all, or may otherwise sell or transfer their Warrants, in each case, in their sole and absolute discretion.

(b) In the event that a Warrant is exercised prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the earlier of (x) a Price Condition Date, or (y) the date that the Company issues a Redemption Notice (either such date, an “Over-Exercise Termination Date”), the Holder thereof may, but is not obligated to, elect in the relevant Exercise Notice, in respect of such Warrant, subject to the terms set forth in this Section 3.01(b), to pay an additional amount equal to $1.8525 (being 0.15 multiplied by the Exercise Price) (the “Over-Exercise Price”) in exchange for an additional number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) 0.15 and (ii) the Warrant Shares Per Warrant applicable to the relevant exercise (the “Over-Exercise Option”), subject to Section 3.06. In the event that an Exercise Date is after the Over-Exercise Termination Date, any election to exercise the Over-Exercise Option shall be null and void. All Holders of Warrants shall be entitled to participate in the Over-Exercise Option and Holders are required to pay the Over-Exercise Price in the same manner and at the same time as they pay the Exercise Price. The Over-Exercise Option may be elected by any Holder in whole, but not in part of the number of Warrants being exercised pursuant to the Basic Warrant Exercise Right and the relevant Exercise Notice. Warrants exercised prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Over-Exercise Termination Date will not be eligible to participate in the Over-Subscription Privilege.

(c) Any Holder that exercises any Warrant(s) from and after 5:00 p.m. New York city time on the Over-Exercise Termination Date until, as applicable: (x) 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date and (y) 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Expiration Date (the “Over-Subscription Period”) and the last day of such period, the “Over-Subscription Deadline”) may, but is not obligated to, elect in the relevant Exercise Notice, subject to the terms set forth in this Section 3.01(c), to subscribe for any or all of the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to any outstanding but unexercised Warrants as of the Over-Subscription Deadline (the “Over-Subscription Privilege”). The number of shares of Common Stock that will be available in the aggregate to all Holders that exercise their Warrants pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege with respect to the Warrants will be the number of shares of Common Stock which are not subscribed for as of the Over-Subscription Deadline pursuant to the Basic Warrant Exercise Rights in respect of all outstanding but unexercised

13

 


 

Warrants as of the Over-Subscription Deadline (for the avoidance of doubt, not including the Over-Exercise Option) (such number of shares, determined by reference to the Warrant Shares Per Warrant in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Over-Subscription Deadline, the “Under-Subscribed Shares”).

If the total number of Elected Over-Subscription Shares exceeds the Under-Subscribed Shares, each Holder who exercises the Over-Subscription Privilege in connection with the exercise of Warrants during the Over-Subscription Period will be allocated, with respect to each Exercise Notice, a pro rata percentage of the Under-Subscribed Shares equal to the percentage (the “Pro Rata Share”) that results from dividing (i) the number of Warrants exercised by such Holder pursuant to the relevant Exercise Notice during the Over-Subscription Period by (ii) the number of Warrants exercised during the Over-Subscription Period by all Holders who elect to participate in the Over-Subscription Privilege, and the number of shares of Common Stock so allocated to such Holder in respect of such Exercise Notice will be the product (rounded down to the nearest whole multiple of a share) of (x) the Pro Rata Share and (y) the Under-Subscribed Shares. If the number of shares of Common Stock so allocated to the relevant Holder is greater than the Elected Over-Subscription Shares in respect of the relevant Exercise Notice, then such Holder will be allocated only such Elected Over-Subscription Shares. Any of the Under-Subscribed Shares that remain available as a result of the allocation described above being greater than a Holder’s over-subscription request will be allocated among all remaining Holders (if any) who exercised the Over-Subscription Privilege and whose initial allocations were less than the number of shares of Common Stock they requested. This second allocation will be made pursuant to the same formula described above (recalculating for this purpose the Pro Rata Share by reference to all remaining Holders as aforesaid) and repeated, if necessary, until all available Under-Subscribed Shares have been allocated or all over-subscription requests have been satisfied in full.

The Over-Subscription Privilege may be exercised during the Over-Subscription Period in respect of any exercise of the Basic Warrant Exercise Right in the relevant Exercise Notice. Any such exercise of the Over-Subscription Privilege must be made in respect of such whole number of shares of Common Stock as is specified for this purpose by such Holder in the relevant Exercise Notice (such number of shares, the “Elected Over-Subscription Shares”). The payment for the Over-Subscription Privilege will be an amount in cash (the “Elected Over-Subscription Shares Amount”) equal to the product (rounded to the nearest cent, with half a cent being rounded upwards) of (i) the Elected Over-Subscription Shares and (ii) the Implied Per Share Exercise Price , and such payment will be made at the time of such exercise of the Basic Warrant Exercise Right (together with the payment required to be made in respect of such exercise of the Basic Warrant Exercise Right). Any excess payments received, including payments for any Elected Over-Subscription Shares that a Holder requested to purchase pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege but which were not allocated to such Holder, will be returned, without interest, promptly following the settlement date for exercises of Warrants during the Over-Subscription Period.

Exercises of Warrants during the Over-Subscription Period and Over-Subscription requests that are fulfilled will be settled as soon as practicable following the Over-Subscription Deadline. Warrants exercised before 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Over-Exercise Termination Date will not be eligible to participate in the Over-Subscription Privilege.

14

 


 

Calculations of the Under-Subscribed Shares and allocation of the Over-Subscription Privilege shall be made by the Calculation Agent and in accordance with Section 8.10; provided that such calculations are subject to adjustment by the Company (or, as the case may be, an Independent Advisor) as provided below to take into account the Company Plan as provided below).

As soon as practicable following the Over-Subscription Deadline, the Warrant Agent shall provide notice to each Holder of its allocation, if any of Under-Subscribed Shares pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege based upon an instruction letter received from the Company setting forth such information.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to take into account the Company Plan and may (or may required an Independent Advisor to) adjust the calculations performed by the Calculation Agent pursuant to this Section 3.01(c) accordingly.

(d) The number of shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of any exercise of Warrants (including pursuant to any exercise of the Over-Exercise Option or Over-Subscription Privilege) shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with this Warrant Agreement; provided, however, that in the event the Company disagrees in good faith with any such calculation, the Company’s calculation shall be determinative.

Section 3.02 Exercise Period.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Warrants shall be exercisable at any time and from time to time on or after the Issue Date until the earlier of (x) 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Expiration Date and (y) 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day prior to the Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holders will be able to exercise the Warrants only if (i) the Common Stock Shelf Registration Statement relating to the Warrant Shares is effective and (ii) the Warrant Shares are qualified for sale or exempt from qualification under the applicable securities laws of the states or other jurisdictions in which such Holders reside except as otherwise provided in Section 5.01. The Company may instruct the Warrant Agent from time to time that Warrants held by a member of the Board of Directors, an Officer of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company are subject to further restrictions on exercise related to compliance with applicable securities laws, in which case the Warrant Agent shall not permit the exercise of such Warrants without the consent of the Company.

(b) Subject to the other provisions of this Section 3.02, unless an earlier Redemption Date has been set in accordance with Article VI or the Expiration Date has been adjusted pursuant to Section 3.02(c), the Warrants will expire and cease to be exercisable at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on December 19, 2023 (as may be adjusted under this Section 3.02, the “Expiration Date”).

(c) Unless the Company has previously issued a Redemption Notice with respect to the Warrants in accordance with Article VI, then following the last day of the first 30 consecutive Trading Day period to occur in which the daily VWAPs of the shares of Common Stock has been at least equal to the then applicable Implied Per Share Exercise Price on each of 20

15

 


 

Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) (the “Price Condition”, and the last Trading Day of such first 30 consecutive Trading Day period to occur as aforesaid, the “Price Condition Date”), the Expiration Date will automatically accelerate to the date that is the fifth (5th) Business Day following the Price Condition Date; provided that the Company may, at its sole option, elect to a later Expiration Date by giving notice thereof in the press release to be issued pursuant to Section 3.02(d).

(d) The Company shall issue a press release (the “Price Condition Notice”) on the Business Day following the Price Condition Date, unless a Redemption Notice has previously been issued, in which case no Price Condition Notice shall be required. Such Price Condition Notice shall state that the Price Condition has been met and state the Expiration Date.

Section 3.03 Expiration. A Warrant shall terminate and become void as of the earliest of (i) 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Expiration Date, (ii) upon payment of the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date and (iii) the date such Warrant is exercised.

Section 3.04 Manner of Exercise.

(a) Subject to Sections 3.02(b) and 3.03, prior to the earlier of (x) 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Expiration Date and (y) 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day prior to the Redemption Date, Warrants may be exercised by a Holder in full or in part, on any Business Day (the “Exercise Date”), by

(i) (x) delivery to the Warrant Agent at its office of the related Warrant Certificate, in the case of Warrants issued in certificated form, or (y) delivery of the Warrant through the systems of the Depositary, in the case of Warrants issued in global form;

(ii) delivery to the Warrant Agent of an election to purchase Warrant Shares in the applicable form included in Exhibit A (an “Exercise Notice”), duly completed and signed by the Holder, which election form shall indicate whether such Holder is exercising the Over-Exercise Option (if before 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Over-Exercise Termination Date) or the Over-Subscription Privilege (if after 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Over-Exercise Termination Date);

(iii) for exercises prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City Time on the Over-Exercise Termination Date, either, at the Holder’s election, (x)(A) payment by check payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account of the Company (as designated by the Company by notice in writing to the Holders pursuant to Section 8.04) in an amount equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrants so exercised (rounded to the nearest cent. with half a cent being rounded upwards) or (B) surrendering notes of an applicable series of Designated Notes (with a principal amount of $1,000 or any whole multiple thereof) with a stated aggregate principal amount (regardless of the then current market value of such Designated Notes), excluding any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, as of the applicable date of surrender, in an amount at least equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrants so exercised (provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant

16

 


 

Agreement or the Warrants, for this purpose of this clause (iii)(x)(B), each principal amount of $1,000 of Designated Notes shall be deemed to be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price in respect of 81 Warrants) (rounded to the nearest cent, with half a cent being rounded upwards), and (y) if the Over-Exercise Option is validly exercised, the Over-Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrants being so exercised (the amount pursuant to this clause (iii)(y) being payable, at the Holder’s election, by payment by check or wire transfer as aforesaid or by surrendering additional Designated Notes), in each case subject, in the case of Designated Notes held through the Depositary, to the Depositary’s applicable procedures and the relevant Holder effecting, or arranging for, the transfer of such Designated Notes through the Depositary’s deposit and withdrawal at custodian (DWAC) system;

(iv) for exercises from and after 5:00 p.m. New York City Time on the Over-Exercise Termination Date, payment by check payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account of the Company (as designated by the Company by notice in writing to the Holders pursuant to Section 8.04) in an amount equal to the sum of (x) the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrants so exercised (rounded to the nearest cent. with half a cent being rounded upwards); and (y) if the Holder is exercising the Over-Subscription Privilege, the Elected Over-Subscription Shares Amount. Any excess payments received, including payments for additional shares of Common Stock a Holder requested to purchase pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege but which were not allocated to such Holder, will be returned, without interest, promptly following the settlement date for exercises of Warrants during the Over-Subscription Period,

provided that if any of (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above has occurred on or after the close of business on any day, it shall instead be deemed to have occurred on the immediately following Business Day; and provided further that the Exercise Date shall be the first Business Day on which all of (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above have occurred, as determined by the Company in consultation with the Warrant Agent.

(b) In the case of a Global Warrant, any Person with a beneficial interest in such Global Warrant shall effect compliance with the requirements in Section 3.04(a)(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above through the relevant Agent Member in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary, except in the case of transactions described in clause (iii)(B), in which case such requirements shall be satisfied in accordance with the protocol set forth on Exhibit B of the Warrant Certificate, or in accordance with such other procedures as shall be agreed by the Company and the Warrant Agent. All principal of the Designated Notes surrendered pursuant to Section 3.04(a)(iii)(B) in excess of the Exercise Price multiplied by the number of Warrants so exercised shall be forfeited to the Company by the Holder surrendering such Designated Notes and shall not be refunded to such Holder.

(c) If a Designated Note is surrendered after a record date and on or before the immediately succeeding interest payment date with respect to such Designated Note, interest will be paid with respect to the principal balance of the Designated Note as of the record date in accordance with the applicable indenture. No additional accrued and unpaid interest will be paid on any Designated Notes surrendered pursuant to Section 3.04(a)(iii)(B).

17

 


 

(d) If the Warrants are received or deemed to be received after the earlier of (x) 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Expiration Date and (y) 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day prior to the Redemption Date, the exercise thereof will be null and void and any funds delivered to the Warrant Agent will be returned to the Holder as soon as practicable. In no event will interest accrue on funds deposited with the Warrant Agent in respect of an exercise or attempted exercise of Warrants.

(e) In the case of a Global Warrant, whenever some but not all of the Warrants represented by such Global Warrant are exercised in accordance with the terms thereof and of this Agreement, such Global Warrant shall be surrendered by the Holder to the Warrant Agent, which shall cause an adjustment to be made to such Global Warrant so that the number of Warrants represented thereby will be equal to the number of Warrants theretofore represented by such Global Warrant less the number of Warrants then exercised. The Warrant Agent shall thereafter promptly return such Global Warrant to the Holder or its nominee or custodian.

(f) In the case of a Definitive Warrant, whenever some but not all of the Warrants represented by such Definitive Warrant are exercised in accordance with the terms thereof and of this Agreement, the Holder shall be entitled, at the request of the Holder, to receive from the Company within a reasonable time, and in any event not exceeding ten (10) Business Days, a new Definitive Warrant in substantially identical form for the number of Warrants equal to the number of Warrants theretofore represented by such Definitive Warrant less the number of Warrants then exercised.

(g) If a Warrant Certificate shall have been exercised in full, the Warrant Agent shall promptly cancel such certificate following its receipt from the Holder or the Depositary, as applicable.

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything in Section 8.03 to the contrary, (i) in the event the Depositary will be able to accommodate the Over-Subscription Privilege, the Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to elect to cause the exercise of the Over-Subscription Privilege under this Agreement to be conducted through the Depositary and in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary after written notice to the Warrant Agent or (ii) the Company and the Warrant Agent may mutually agree to alter, waive, revise, adjust, change or modify any requirements, time periods or other mechanics of the process of exercising the Warrants. In the case of any such change pursuant to clause (i) or clause (ii) above, the Company shall issue a press release describing such process change to the extent such process change will affect the way any Holder must act to exercise their Warrant.

(i) If a Common Stock Shelf Registration Statement is not effective at the Exercise Date or a prospectus relating to the issuance of Warrant Shares is not current, the Holders will be able to exercise their Warrants only on a net share settled basis pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Section 3(a)(9) and as described in Section 3.05(c).

(j) Any principal amount of Designated Notes surrendered to exercise warrants which is in excess of the exercise price (including any Over-Exercises) and less than $1,000 shall

18

 


 

be forfeited to the Company. If the excess is equal to or greater than $1,000, the Company will return any notes in multiples of $1,000 principal amount.

(k) The exercise of any Over-Subscription Privilege shall made in accordance with the protocol set forth on Exhibit C of the Warrant Certificate, or in accordance with such other procedures as shall be agreed by the Company and the Warrant Agent. If such procedures are not followed, the exercise of such Over-Subscription Privilege may not be valid.

Section 3.05 Issuance of Warrant Shares.

(a) Subject to Section 3.02(a), upon any exercise of Warrants in compliance with this Agreement, the Company shall issue and cause the transfer agent for the Common Stock (the “Stock Transfer Agent,” which may be the Warrant Agent) to cause to be registered in the Company’s register of shareholders via the direct registration system a number of full Warrant Shares so purchased upon the exercise of such Warrants (determined in accordance with Section 3.06) or Units of Reference Property to which it is entitled, registered or otherwise, to the Holder or Holders entitled to receive the same or upon the written order of the Holder(s) in such name or names as the Holder(s) may designate (including any depositary institution so designated by a Holder). In no event shall the Company have the right or be required to settle the exercise of Warrants through delivery of cash in lieu of Common Stock.

(b) In the case of Warrants with an Exercise Date prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City Time on the Over-Exercise Termination Date, such Warrant Shares shall be delivered as soon as commercially practicable following the Exercise Date. In the case of Warrants with an Exercise Date after 5:00 p.m. New York City Time on the Over-Exercise Termination Date, such Warrant Shares shall be delivered as soon as commercially practicable following the Exercise Date; provided that Warrant Shares delivered pursuant to any Over-Subscription Privilege exercised will be delivered as promptly as practicable following the Over-Subscription Deadline.

(c) If a Holder is only able to exercise its Warrants on a net share settled basis due to the conditions described in Section 3.04(i), it shall do so by surrendering its Warrants in exchange for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of (i) the applicable number of Warrants so exercised pursuant to the relevant Exercise Notice, (ii) the applicable Warrant Shares Per Warrant and (iii) the excess of the Average Market Price over the Implied Per Share Exercise Price on the applicable Exercise Date by (y) the Average Market Price, subject to Section 3.06; provided that if the Average Market Price is less than or equal to the Implied Per Share Exercise Price on the applicable Exercise Date, no shares of Common Stock shall be issued in respect of such exercise of Warrants (and no cash or other adjustment shall be payable or made to such Holder in respect of such exercise). In the event if an exercise pursuant to this Section 3.05(c), the Over-Exercise Option and the Over-Subscription Privilege shall not be available and shall be deemed null and void. In the event the Company determines that applicable securities laws (including insider trading laws) limit the ability of a Holder to exercise a Warrant or sell Warrant Shares as of or immediately prior to the Over-Subscription Deadline, the Company may in its discretion (but is not obligated to) permit such Holder to exercise its Warrants on a net share settled basis in accordance with this Section 3.05(c).

19

 


 

(d) The Company shall provide the cost basis information to the Warrant Agent, as applicable:

(i) In the event of an exercise with cash or with Designated Notes, the Company hereby instructs the Warrant Agent to record cost basis for newly issued shares as follows:

(1) in the event of an exercise with cash, the Warrant Agent shall record cost basis for newly issued shares as the sum of (x) the Implied Per Share Exercise Price plus (y) the Holder’s cost basis in the exercised Warrant, if any, which the Warrant Agent shall request of the Holder, if necessary, and

(2) in the event of an exercise with Designated Notes, the Warrant Agent shall record cost basis of newly issued shares as the sum of (x) the fair market value of the Designated Notes tendered in exercise as of the date of exercise (as reasonably determined by the Company) plus (y) the Holder’s cost basis in the exercised Warrant, if any, which the Warrant Agent shall request of the Holder, if necessary.

(ii) In the event of an exercise on a net share settled basis as described in Section 3.05(c), the Company shall provide instructions for computing cost basis for shares issued pursuant to such exercise at the time the Company confirms the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with such exercise.

(e) the Calculation Agent’s determination of the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued on any exercise of Warrants and the validity of such exercise, pursuant to this Agreement, shall govern and the Warrant Agent shall have no duty or obligation to investigate or confirm whether such Calculation Agent determinations are accurate or correct.

(f) The Person in whose name any shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon exercise of the Basic Warrant Exercise Right and (if applicable) the Over-Exercise Option (but excluding any shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege) shall be treated as a stockholder of record of such shares as of the close of business on the relevant Exercise Date, assuming the satisfaction of all conditions, including the payment of the Exercise Price. The Person in whose name any shares of Common Stock shall be issuable pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege shall be treated as a stockholder of record of such shares as of the close of business on the Over-Subscription Deadline. Upon the exercise of any Warrants, such Person shall no longer be a Holder of such Warrants as of the close of business on the relevant Exercise Date.

Section 3.06 Fractional Warrant Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares of Common Stock on the exercise of Warrants or pay cash in lieu thereof (including pursuant to any exercise of the Over-Exercise Option or the Over-Subscription Privilege). The number of full shares of Common Stock that shall be issuable upon an exercise of Warrants by a Holder at any time shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be purchased pursuant to the Warrants being exercised by that Holder pursuant to any one Exercise Notice. If any fraction of a share of Common Stock would be issuable upon the exercise of Warrants (including pursuant to any exercise of the Over-Exercise

20

 


 

Option or the Over-Subscription Privilege), the Company shall round down the total number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the relevant Holder to the nearest whole number. The calculation of fractional shares shall be calculated as of the Exercise Date for the exercise of the Basic Warrant Exercise Right and any valid exercise of the Over-Exercise Option, and shall be calculated separately as of the Over-Subscription Deadline for shares of Common Stock allocated pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege. The Company’s calculation of such shares shall be determinative.

Section 3.07 Reservation of Warrant Shares.

(a) The Company shall at all times keep reserved out of its authorized Common Stock a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to provide for the exercise of all outstanding Warrants, including the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the Over-Exercise Option. The Company will keep a copy of this Agreement on file with the Stock Transfer Agent and will furnish to such Stock Transfer Agent a copy of all notices of adjustments (and certificates related thereto) transmitted to each Holder.

(b) The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares that may be issued upon proper exercise of Warrants (including payment of the Exercise Price) shall, upon issue, be fully paid, nonassessable, free of preemptive rights.

(c) The Company shall provide an opinion of counsel which shall state that (i) all Warrant Shares are or will be, upon issuance, registered under the Securities Act, as amended, or are exempt from such registration, and (ii) the Warrants and Warrant Shares, as applicable, are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

Section 3.08 Ownership Limitation.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent may be withheld in the Company’s sole discretion), a Holder will not be permitted to exercise Warrants for any shares of Common Stock, and the Company shall not be obligated to effect such exercise if, following such exercise, the Holder would have Beneficial Ownership of shares of Common Stock of 4.9% or more (the “Ownership Limitation”); provided that if any Holder Beneficially Owns shares of Common Stock in excess of the Ownership Limitation at 5:00 p.m. on December 1, 2022, such Holder shall have the right to exercise any Warrants (and receive the related shares of Common Stock) received by such Holder in connection with the Warrant Distribution, but only to the extent such Holder’s receipt of such shares of Common Stock is permitted by a waiver in effect at such time that constitutes “Prior Approval of the Company” under the Company Plan. No consideration or repayment will be made to any Holder as a result of an inability to exercise a Warrant in whole or in part because of such ownership limitations.

(b) Any exercise of Warrants contrary to the Section 3.08(a) shall be void ab initio to the extent of such violation.

(c) The Company will publish the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (less shares held by subsidiaries of the Company) on its website and with the Warrant Agent weekly while Warrants remain outstanding.

21

 


 

Section 3.09 Adjustments of Prices. Whenever any provision of this Warrant Agreement requires the Calculation Agent to calculate the average of the daily VWAPs or the Market Prices over a span of multiple days (including, without limitation, for determining the Average Market Price), the Calculation Agent shall make appropriate adjustments, if any, to each to account for any adjustment to the Warrant Shares Per Warrant that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Warrant Shares Per Warrant where the Ex-Date or effective date, as the case may be, of the event occurs, at any time during or after the period when the daily VWAPs or the Market Prices are to be calculated.

Article IV

Adjustment and Notice Provisions

Section 4.01 Adjustments.

Subject to the provisions of this Article IV, the Implied Per Share Exercise Price and the Warrant Shares Per Warrant shall be subject to adjustment, without duplication, as follows, except that the Company shall not make any such adjustments if each Holder has the opportunity to participate, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the shares of Common Stock and solely as a result of holding the Warrants in any of the transactions described in this Section 4.01, without having to exercise such Holder’s Warrants, as if such Holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole multiple of a share of Common Stock) of (i) the Warrant Shares Per Warrant in effect on the record date for such transaction and (ii) the number of Warrants held by it on such record date:

(a) Stock Dividends, Splits, Subdivisions, Reclassifications and Combinations. If the Company shall (i) exclusively issue shares of Common Stock to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of the Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine, consolidate or reclassify the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares then, in such event:

(i) the Warrant Shares Per Warrant in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination, consolidation or reclassification shall be adjusted by multiplying such Warrant Shares Per Warrant by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination, consolidation or reclassification, as applicable, and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Date or effective date, as applicable (before giving effect to any such dividend, distribution, subdivision, consolidation, combination or reclassification, as applicable); and

(ii) the Implied Per Share Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, consolidation, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

22

 


 

X1 = WS0 x X0 / WS1

where:

X0

=

the Implied Per Share Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Date or effective date, as the case may be, for the dividend distribution, subdivision, consolidation, combination or reclassification giving rise to the adjustment;

 

 

 

X1

=

the Implied Per Share Exercise Price in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Date or effective date, as applicable;

 

 

 

WS0

=

the Warrant Shares Per Warrant in effect immediately before such adjustment; and

 

 

 

WS1

=

the adjusted Warrant Shares Per Warrant as determined pursuant to clause (a)(i).

Any adjustment made under this clause (a) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the effective date for such subdivision, consolidation, combination or reclassification, as applicable. If an adjustment to the Implied Per Share Exercise Price and the Warrant Shares Per Warrant is made in respect of any dividend or distribution of the type described in this clause (a) but such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Implied Per Share Exercise Price and the Warrant Shares Per Warrant shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay or make such dividend or distribution, to the Implied Per Share Exercise Price and Warrant Shares Per Warrant that would then be in effect had no such adjustment been made.

(b) Other Distributions and Spin-Offs.

(i) Distributions Other than Spin-Offs. If the Company makes a distribution to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock, of its Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company, or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities, excluding:

(1) any dividends or distributions described in clause (a) above;

(2) any dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash described in clause (c) below;

(3) any dividends or distributions in connection with a business combination, reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale, lease or other disposition resulting in the change in the securities or property receivable upon the exercise of a warrant as described in Section 4.03;

(4) any rights issued pursuant to a shareholders’ rights plan adopted by the Company, other than as described in clause (d); and

(5) any Spin-Offs described below in Section 4.01(b)(ii);

23

 


 

then the Implied Per Share Exercise Price shall be decreased based on the following formula:

X1 = X0 × (SP0 - FMV) / SP0

where:

X0

=

the Implied Per Share Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Date for such distribution;

 

 

 

X1

=

the Implied Per Share Exercise Price in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Date for such distribution;

 

 

 

SP0

=

the arithmetic average of the Market Prices of the Common Stock on each Trading Day comprised in the period of ten consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding, but excluding, the Ex-Date for such distribution; and

 

 

 

FMV

=

the Fair Market Value, as of such Ex-Date, of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets or property of the Company, cash, rights or warrants.

the Warrant Shares Per Warrant shall be increased based on the following formula:

WS1 = WS0 × X0 / X1

where:

X0

=

the Implied Per Share Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Date for such distribution;

 

 

 

X1

=

the adjusted Implied Per Share Exercise Price in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Date for such distribution as determined pursuant to this clause (b)(i);

 

 

 

WS0

=

the Warrant Shares Per Warrant in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Date; and

WS1

=

the Warrant Shares Per Warrant in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Date

Any adjustment to the Implied Per Share Exercise Price and Warrant Shares per Warrant under this clause (b)(i) shall be made immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Date for such distribution.

(ii) Spin-Offs. With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this clause (b) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution by the Company to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock in shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to a subsidiary or other business unit of the

24

 


 

Company that will be, upon distribution, listed or quoted on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Warrant Shares Per Warrant shall be increased based on the following formula:

WS1 = WS0 × (FMV + SP) / SP

where:

WS0 = the number of Warrant Shares Per Warrant in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Date of the Spin-Off;

WS1= the number of Warrant Shares Per Warrant in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Date of the Spin-Off;

FMV = the arithmetic average of the Market Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock on each Trading Day comprised in the period of ten consecutive Trading Days immediately following, and including, the Ex-Date for such Spin-Off (such period, the “Valuation Period”); and

 

SP = the arithmetic average of the Market Prices of the Common Stock on each Trading Day comprised in the Valuation Period.

the Implied Per Share Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the open of business for the Ex-Date for the Spin-Off shall be decreased based on the following formula:

X1 = X0 × WS0 / WS1

where:

X0 = the Implied Per Share Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Date of the Spin-Off;

X1 = the Implied Per Share Exercise Price in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Date of the Spin-Off;

WS0 = the Warrant Shares Per Warrant in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Date of the Spin-Off;

WS1 = the adjusted Warrant Shares Per Warrant in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Date of the Spin-Off as determined pursuant to this clause (b)(ii).

Any adjustment to the Implied Per Share Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares Per Warrant under this clause (b)(ii) shall be made immediately after the close of business on the last day of the Valuation Period, but shall be given effect as of the open of business on the Ex-Date for the Spin-Off.

25

 


 

If an adjustment to the Implied Per Share Exercise Price and the Warrant Shares Per Warrant is made in respect of any distribution of the type described in this clause (b) but such distribution is not so made, the Implied Per Share Exercise Price and Warrant Shares Per Warrant shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to make such distribution, to the Implied Per Share Exercise Price and Warrant Shares Per Warrant that would then be in effect had no such adjustment been made.

(c) Cash Dividends or Distributions. If any cash dividend or distribution is paid to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, then:

(i) the Warrant Shares Per Warrant shall be increased based on the following formula:

WS1 = WS0 × SP0 / (SP0 - C)

where:

SP0 = the arithmetic average of the Market Prices of the Common Stock on each Trading Day comprised in the period of ten consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding, but excluding, the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution;

C = the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to holders of the Common Stock;

WS0 = the Warrant Shares Per Warrant in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution;

WS1 = the Warrant Shares Per Warrant in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution; and

(ii) the Implied Per Share Exercise Price payable upon exercise of the Warrants shall be decreased based on the following formula:

X1 = X0 × WS0 / WS1

where:

X0 = the Implied Per Share Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution;

X1 = the Implied Per Share Exercise Price in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution;

WS0 = the Warrant Shares Per Warrant in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; and

WS1 = the adjusted Warrant Shares Per Warrant in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution as determined pursuant to this clause (c);

26

 


 

Any increase made under this clause (c) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution. If an adjustment to the Implied Per Share Exercise Price and the Warrant Shares Per Warrant is made in respect of any dividend or distribution of the type described in this clause (c) but such dividend or distribution is not so paid, the Implied Per Share Exercise Price and Warrant Shares Per Warrant shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to be the Implied Per Share Exercise Price and Warrant Shares Per Warrant that would then be in effect had no such adjustment been made.

(d) Shareholder Rights Plan. If the Company has a shareholder rights plan, including the Company Plan, in effect upon exercise hereof, each share of Common Stock, if any, issued upon such exercise shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of rights, if any, and the certificates representing the Common Stock issued upon such exercise shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any such shareholder rights plan, as the same may be amended from time to time. However, if, prior to any exercise, the rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable shareholder rights plan so that the Holders of Warrants would not be entitled to receive any rights in respect of Common Stock, if any, issuable upon exercise, the Warrant Shares Per Warrant and the Implied Per Share Exercise Price shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company had made a distribution to all holders of its Common Stock as provided in Section 4.01(b), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

(e) Other Adjustments. In addition, the Company may, but shall not be required to, make such decreases in the Implied Per Share Exercise Price (and a proportional increase in the number of Warrant Shares Per Warrant), in addition to those required by this Section 4.01, as the Board of Directors considers to be advisable for any reason, including, without limitation, in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to any holders of Common Stock or to any Holders of Warrants resulting from any dividend or distribution of shares or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes or for any other reason.

Section 4.02 Calculation of Adjustments; Timing of Issuance of Additional Warrant Shares Upon Certain Adjustments; Adjustment Rules.

(a) All calculations under Section 4.01 shall be made by the Calculation Agent to the nearest one-tenth (1/10th) of a cent (with 1/20th of a cent being rounded upwards) or to the nearest one-hundredth (1/100th) of a share of Common Stock (with 1/200th of a share of Common Stock being rounded upwards). Any provision of Section 4.01 to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment to the Implied Per Share Exercise Price or Warrant Shares Per Warrant shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than $0.01 or one-tenth (1/10th) of a share of Common Stock, but any such amount shall be carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereto shall be made at the time of and together with any subsequent adjustment that, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate $0.01 or one-tenth (1/10th) of a share of Common Stock, or more.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant Agreement or the Warrants, (i) if the provisions of Section 4.01 shall require that an adjustment be made to the Warrant Share Per Warrant in respect of any distribution or other relevant event, and the shares of

27

 


 

Common Stock issuable in respect of any exercise are entitled to participate in such distribution or other relevant event, such adjustment shall not be given effect for the purpose of such exercise of Warrants and (ii) if the Exercise Date in respect of any exercise of Warrants falls after the record date for any Spin-Off and on or before the last day of the relevant Valuation Period, delivery of the shares of Common Stock issuable (or amount of cash payable, as applicable) pursuant to such exercise shall occur as soon as practicable after the last day of such Valuation Period.

(c) Any adjustments pursuant to Section 4.01 shall be made successively whenever an event referred to therein shall occur. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Warrant Agreement or the Warrants, if an adjustment to the Implied Per Share Exercise Price made under Section 4.01 would reduce the Implied Per Share Exercise Price to an amount below the par value of the Common Stock, then such adjustment to the Implied Per Share Exercise Price shall reduce (or, where applicable, maintain) the Implied Per Share Exercise Price to be equal to the par value of the Common Stock (without rounding), and the adjustment to the Warrant Shares Per Warrant in respect of the event giving rise to such adjustment to the Implied Per Share Exercise Price shall increase (or, where applicable, maintain) the Warrant Shares Per Warrant to be equal to the Exercise Price divided by the par value of the Common Stock (without rounding).

Section 4.03 Business Combinations and Reorganizations. In case of any Business Combination or reclassification of Common Stock (other than a reclassification of Common Stock referred to in Section 4.01), the Holder’s right to receive Warrant Shares upon exercise of a Warrant shall be converted into the right to exercise a Warrant to acquire, per each Warrant, the number of shares or other securities or property (including cash) that a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Warrant Shares Per Warrant (in effect at the time of such Business Combination or reclassification) immediately prior to such Business Combination or reclassification would have been entitled to receive upon consummation of such Business Combination or reclassification (the amount of such shares, other securities or property in respect of a share of Common Stock being herein referred to as a “Unit of Reference Property”); and in any such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holder shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be achievable, to the Holder’s right to exercise such Warrant in exchange for a Unit of Reference Property pursuant to this paragraph. If the Business Combination causes the Common Stock to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of shareholder election), then the composition of the Unit of Reference Property into which the Warrants will be exercisable shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received by the holders of Common Stock.

Section 4.04 Notice of Adjustments. Whenever any adjustment is made pursuant to this Article IV, the Company shall cause notice of such adjustment to be delivered to the Warrant Agent within 20 Business Days following the effective date of such adjustment, such notice to include in reasonable detail (i) the reason for the adjustment, (ii) the computation of any adjustments, and (iii) the new or amended exercise terms, including, as applicable, the number of Warrant Shares Per Warrant, the Implied Per Share Exercise Price or the number of shares or the Units of Reference Property purchasable upon exercise of each Warrant after giving effect to such adjustment. The calculations, adjustments and determinations included in the Company’s notice shall, absent manifest error, be final and binding on the Company, the Warrant Agent, the

28

 


 

Calculation Agent and the Holders. The Warrant Agent shall be entitled to rely on such notice and any adjustment therein contained and the Warrant Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any such adjustment unless and until it shall have received such notice. The Warrant Agent shall have no obligation under any section of this Agreement to determine whether an adjustment is required or to calculate any of the adjustments set forth herein. The Warrant Agent shall within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice from the Company (which notice must specifically direct the Warrant Agent to perform the mailing) cause a similar notice to be delivered to each Holder.

Section 4.05 Adjustment to Warrant Certificate. The form of Warrant Certificate need not be changed because of any adjustment made pursuant to this Article IV, and Warrant Certificates issued after such adjustment may state the same Warrant Shares Per Warrant as are stated in any Warrant Certificates issued prior to such adjustment. The Company, however, may at any time in its sole discretion make any change in the form of Warrant Certificate that it may deem appropriate to give effect to such adjustments and that does not affect the substance of the Warrant Certificate, and any Warrant Certificate thereafter issued or countersigned, whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant Certificate or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed. For the avoidance of doubt, no change to the Warrant Certificate as a result of an adjustment pursuant to this Article IV shall require the consent of the Holders of the Warrants or the Warrant Agent.

Article V

Registration of Warrant Shares

Section 5.01 Effectiveness of Registration Statement. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a shelf registration statement (including, at the Company’s election, an existing registration statement or a replacement thereof), filed pursuant to Rule 415 (or any successor provision) of the Securities Act, covering the issuance of Warrant Shares to the Holders upon exercise of the Warrants by the Holders thereof (the “Common Stock Shelf Registration Statement”) to, subject to certain exceptions, (i) become effective as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement and (ii) remain effective until the earlier of (x) such time as all Warrants have been exercised and (y) the earlier of the Expiration Date and the Redemption Date. The Company shall promptly inform the Warrant Agent of any change in the status of the effectiveness or availability of the Common Stock Shelf Registration Statement. For the avoidance of doubt, no Warrants shall be exercisable at any time until a Common Stock Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Common Stock Shelf Registration Statement covering the issuance of the Warrant Shares at the time of exercise of any Warrants is not effective or a prospectus relating thereto is not current, the Holders will be able to exercise their Warrants only on a net share settled basis by surrendering their Warrants in exchange for shares of Common Stock as described in Section 3.05(c) pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Section 3(a)(9). In such a scenario, the Warrants may not be exercised for cash or Designated Notes but just for the Warrant itself.

Section 5.02 Suspension. The Company shall be entitled to suspend the availability of the Common Stock Shelf Registration Statement from time to time if the Board of Directors determines in the exercise of its reasonable judgment that such suspension is necessary and

29

 


 

provides notice that such determination was made to the Holders of the Warrants; provided, however, that (i) if the Company exercises such right in the 90 consecutive-day period immediately prior to the earlier of the Expiration Date and the Redemption Date, the Expiration Date or the Redemption Date, as the case may be, shall be delayed by the number of days during such 90-day period for which the availability of the Common Stock Shelf Registration Statement was suspended and (ii) in no event shall the Company be required to disclose the business purpose for such suspension if the Company determines in good faith that such business purpose must remain confidential.

Section 5.03 [reserved]

Section 5.04 Expenses. Subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), all expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with its obligations under this Article V relating to the issuance of the Warrant Shares will be borne by the Company, including without limitation: (i) all SEC, stock exchange or Financial Industry Regulatory Authority registration and filing fees, (ii) all fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the compliance with state securities or blue sky laws, (iii) all expenses of any Persons incurred by or on behalf of the Company with the prior written consent of the Company in preparing or assisting in preparing, printing and distributing the Common Stock Shelf Registration Statement or any other registration statement, prospectus, any amendments or supplements thereto and other documents relating to the performance of and compliance with this Article V, (iv) the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and (v) the fees and disbursements of the independent public accountants of the Company.

Section 5.05 Delivery of Documents to Holders. The Warrant Agent agrees that concurrently with the issuance of Warrant Shares to any Holder and upon exercise of Warrants by any Holder, the Warrant Agent shall (unless otherwise instructed by the Company) deliver a prospectus relating to the Warrant Shares (a “Prospectus”) to such Holder or such other notice or communication regarding the Warrants or the Warrant Shares as the Company may instruct. The Company shall furnish to the Warrant Agent sufficient copies of such Prospectus or such other notice or communication to satisfy this obligation.

Article VI
Redemption

Section 6.01 Redemption. At its sole option, the Company may elect to redeem, the Warrants at any time on not less than 20 calendar days’ notice at a price of 1/10 of $0.01 per Warrant (the “Redemption Price”).

Section 6.02 Redemption Notice. In case the Company exercises its right to redeem all the Warrants pursuant to Section 6.01, it shall fix a date for redemption (the “Redemption Date”) and shall issue a press release giving notice of such redemption (the “Redemption Notice”) not less than 20 calendar days prior to the Redemption Date. The Redemption Date must be a Business Day. The Redemption Notice, if issued in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. The Redemption Notice shall specify (i) the Redemption Date, (ii) the Redemption Price, (iii) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable with respect to each

30

 


 

Warrant, and (iv) that Holders may exercise their Warrants until 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date. A Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable.

Section 6.03 Payment of Redeemed Warrants. Prior to the open of business on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Warrant Agent an amount of cash (in immediately available funds if deposited on the Redemption Date), sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all of the Warrants outstanding on the Redemption Date. Subject to receipt of funds by the Warrant Agent, payment for the Warrants to be redeemed shall be made on the Redemption Date. The Warrant Agent shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds in excess of the Redemption Price.

31

32

 


 

by a final, non-appealable order, judgment, decree or ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction). The Warrant Agent shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Warrant Agent through willful misconduct or gross negligence (which willful misconduct or gross negligence must be determined by a final, non-appealable order, judgment, decree or ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction).

(c) Company Instructions. From time to time, the Company may provide the Warrant Agent with instructions concerning the services performed by the Warrant Agent hereunder. In addition, at any time the Warrant Agent may apply to any officer of the Company for instruction, and may consult with legal counsel for the Warrant Agent or the Company with respect to any matter arising in connection with the services to be performed by the Warrant Agent under this Agreement. The Warrant Agent and its agents and subcontractors shall not be liable and shall be indemnified by the Company for any action taken or omitted by the Warrant Agent (i) in reliance upon any Company instructions or (ii) upon the advice or opinion of such counsel (in which case, the Warrant Agent will provide advance notice to the Company if it will not take an action required by this Agreement because of the advice or option of such counsel). The Warrant Agent shall not be held to have notice of any change of authority of any person, until receipt of written notice thereof from the Company.

(d) Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Warrant Agent’s aggregate liability during any term of this Agreement with respect to, arising from, or arising in connection with this Agreement, or from all services provided or omitted to be provided under this Agreement, whether in contract, or in tort, or otherwise, is limited to, and shall not exceed, the amounts paid hereunder by the Company to the Warrant Agent as fees and charges, but not including reimbursable expenses, during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event for which recovery from Warrant Agent is being sought. The limitations of liability in this Section 7.05(d) shall not apply with respect to liability arising from willful misconduct of the Warrant Agent (which willful misconduct must be determined by a final, non-appealable judgement of a court of competent jurisdiction).

(e) Consequential Damages. Neither party to this Agreement shall be liable to the other party for any consequential, indirect, special or incidental damages under any provisions of this Agreement or for any consequential, indirect, punitive, special or incidental damages arising out of any act or failure to act hereunder even if that party has been advised of or has foreseen the possibility of such damages.

Section 7.06 Successor Warrant Agent.

The Warrant Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice to the Company of such intention on its part, specifying the date on which its desired resignation shall become effective; provided, however, that such date shall not be less than thirty (30) days after the date on which such notice is given unless the Company otherwise agrees in writing.

In the event that the Company, the Warrant Agent or their agents determine that they are obligated to withhold or deduct any tax or other governmental charge under any applicable law on behalf of a Holder (whether upon the distribution of the Warrants under this Agreement, upon any adjustment made pursuant to Article IV, upon exercise or otherwise), the Company, the Warrant Agent or their agents shall be entitled, but not obligated, to deduct and withhold such amount by withholding a portion or all of the Warrants or Warrant Shares otherwise deliverable or by otherwise using any property (including, without limitation, Warrants, Warrant Shares or cash) that would otherwise be delivered to or is owned by such Holder, in each case in such amounts as they deem necessary to meet their withholding obligations, and shall also be entitled, but not obligated, to sell all or a portion of such withheld Warrants, Warrant Shares or such other property by public or private sale in such amounts and in such manner as they deem necessary and practicable to pay such taxes and charges. In such case, (i) the Company, the Warrant Agent or their agents, as applicable, shall remit to the applicable tax or other authority the required withholding amount or other charge, and (ii) any withheld amounts (and, if applicable in connection with adjustments pursuant to Article IV, other property) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been distributed to the Holders in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Subject to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the Warrants may be exercised in whole or in part no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day (the “Exercise Date”), in accordance with Section 3.04 of the Warrant Agreement; provided however, that no Warrant shall be exercisable after the earlier of (x) 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Expiration Date and (y) 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day prior to the Redemption Date.

If the date specified as the Exercise Date is not a Business Day, the Warrants will be deemed to be received and exercised on the next succeeding Business Day. If a notice of Exercise of Warrants is received or deemed to be received after the earlier of (x) 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Expiration Date and (y) 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day prior to the Redemption Date, the exercise thereof will be null and void and any funds delivered to the Warrant Agent will be returned to the Holder as soon as practicable. In no event will interest accrue on funds deposited with the Warrant Agent in respect of an exercise or attempted exercise of Warrants.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, holders of Warrants will be able to exercise their Warrants only if the Common Stock Shelf Registration Statement relating to the Warrant Shares is effective and not subject to suspension pursuant to the Warrant Agreement and such securities are qualified for sale or exempt from qualification under the applicable securities laws of any relevant states or other jurisdictions;

Upon any partial exercise of the Warrants, there shall be countersigned and issued to the Holder hereof a new Warrant Certificate representing those Warrants which were not exercised. This Warrant Certificate may be exchanged at the office of the Warrant Agent by presenting this Warrant Certificate properly endorsed with a request to exchange this Warrant Certificate for other Warrant Certificates evidencing an equal number of Warrants. No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued upon the exercise of the Warrants. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would be issuable upon the exercise of Warrants, the Company shall round down the total number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the relevant Holder to the nearest whole number.

All Warrant Shares shall, upon such issue, be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable.

The holder in whose name the Warrant Certificate is registered may be deemed and treated by the Company and the Warrant Agent as the absolute owner of the Warrant Certificate for all purposes whatsoever and neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Holders of Warrants do not have any rights as a stockholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants prior to the time such warrants are validly exercised, and the exercise price is paid.

Triumph Group, Inc.

899 Cassatt Road, Suite 210

Berwyn, PA 19312

 

Re: Triumph Group, Inc.
22,425,627 Shares of Common Stock underlying

Warrant Distribution

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special United States counsel to Triumph Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Warrant Agreement, dated December 19, 2022 (the “Warrant Agreement”), among the Company, Computershare Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its affiliate Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as warrant agent, relating to the issuance of Warrants (the “Warrants”) and the issuance upon exercise of the Warrants, from time to time, of up to 22,425,627 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Securities”).

This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

In rendering the opinions stated herein, we have examined and relied upon the following:

(a)
the registration statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-251429) of the Company relating to the Securities and other securities of the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on December 17, 2020 under the Securities Act, allowing for delayed offerings pursuant to Rule 415 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Act (the “Rules and Regulations”), including information deemed to be a part of the registration statement pursuant to Rule 430B of the Rules and Regulations (such registration statement being hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement”);
(b)
the prospectus, dated December 17, 2020 (the “Base Prospectus”), which forms a part of and is included in the Registration Statement;

(c)
the prospectus supplement, dated December 19, 2022 (together with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”), relating to the offering of the Securities, in the form filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations;
(d)
an executed copy of the Warrant Agreement;
(e)
an executed copy of a certificate of Jennifer H. Allen, Chief Administrative Officer and Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of the Company, dated the date hereof (the “Secretary’s Certificate”);
(f)
a copy of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended by the Certificate of Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, certified by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as of December 14, 2022, and certified pursuant to the Secretary’s Certificate (the “Certificate of Incorporation”);
(g)
a copy of the Company’s By-laws, as amended and in effect as of the date hereof, certified pursuant to the Secretary’s Certificate (the “By-laws”); and
(h)
copies of certain resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company, adopted on December 1, 2022, certified pursuant to the Secretary’s Certificate.

We have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such records of the Company and such agreements, certificates and receipts of public officials, certificates of officers or other representatives of the Company and others, and such other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinion stated below, including the facts and conclusions set forth in the Secretary's Certificate and the factual representations and warranties contained in the Warrant Agreement. We have assumed that the issuance of the Securities does not violate or conflict with any agreement or instrument binding on the Company (except that we do not make this assumption with respect to the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws or with respect to those agreements or instruments which are listed in Part II of the Registration Statement or the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2022).

In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, including electronic signatures, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as facsimile, electronic, certified or photocopied copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. As to any facts relevant to the opinions stated herein that we did not independently establish or verify, we have relied upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and others and of public officials, including the factual representations and warranties set forth in the Warrant Agreement.

We do not express any opinion with respect to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). The Securities may be sold from time to time on a delayed or continuous basis, and this opinion is limited to the

laws, including the rules and regulations, as in effect on the date hereof, which laws are subject to change with possible retroactive effect.

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications and assumptions stated herein, we are of the opinion that:

1.
The Securities have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of the Company under the DGCL and when issued upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, provided that the consideration therefor is not less than $0.001 per share.

We hereby consent to the reference to our firm under the heading “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus. We also hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K being filed on the date hereof and incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations. This opinion is expressed as of the date hereof unless otherwise expressly stated, and we disclaim any undertaking to advise you of any subsequent changes in the facts stated or assumed herein or of any subsequent changes in applicable laws.

Very truly yours,

 

/s/ Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP
