At the option of the holder after the date which is 60 days after the Settlement Date.
Automatically upon the earlier of (i) the date which is 270 days after the
Settlement Date (which is anticipated to be October 27, 2023) or (ii) if applicable, the date on which units are automatically separated pursuant to the terms of the Unit Agreement.
Prior to separating the units, a holder thereof will not be able to participate in any
redemption or repurchase of notes, and holders of notes must have voluntarily separated their units prior to the date of any notice of redemption or any offer to repurchase commencement date in order to participate in such redemption or
repurchase. |

Settlement: |

T+7; January 30, 2023.
The Issuer expects that delivery of the units will be made to investors in book-entry form through DTC on or about January 30, 2023, which will be the
seventh business day following the date of the pricing of the units (T+7). Under Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business
days unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the units on any date prior to the second business day before delivery will be required, by virtue of the fact that the units initially
will settle in T+7, to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of the units who wish to trade the units prior to their date of delivery hereunder should consult their own
advisors. |

Changes from the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement:
The Preliminary Prospectus Supplement is hereby updated to reflect the following changes:
|
1. |
The Issuer estimates that the net proceeds from this offering will be approximately $271.2 million after
deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Issuer. The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds from this offering, together with $39.4 million of borrowings under the Amended ABL Facility and
$6.0 million of cash on hand, to redeem all of the outstanding 2023 Senior Notes and to pay fees and expenses relating to this offering and the other Refinancing Transactions. |
|
2. |
As of September 30, 2022, after giving effect to the Refinancing Transactions, including
$39.4 million of borrowings under the Amended ABL Facility, the Issuer would have had $27.4 million of additional borrowing capacity under the Amended ABL Facility. |
3
|
3. |
In the Description of notes section, clause (13) of the definition of Permitted
Liens is replaced with the following: |
(13) Liens securing Indebtedness and other obligations permitted to be
incurred and then-outstanding pursuant to clause (2) of the second paragraph of Certain covenantsLimitation on additional indebtedness.
|
4. |
In the Description of notes section, the following will be included: |
The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any
consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of the Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to all Holders and is paid to all
Holders that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or amendment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment of consideration for, or as an inducement to, any
consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of the Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees in connection with an exchange offer, the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may exclude (i) any Holder or beneficial owner
that is not a qualified institutional buyer or an institutional accredited investor, (ii) any Non-U.S. Person, (iii) any Holder or beneficial owner of Notes in any jurisdiction (other than the United
States) where the inclusion of such Holders or beneficial owners would require the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary to comply with the registration requirements or other similar requirements under any securities laws of such jurisdiction or
the solicitation of such consent, waiver or amendment from, or the granting of such consent or waiver, or the approval of such amendment by, Holders or beneficial owners in such jurisdiction would be unlawful, in each case as determined by the
Company, in its sole discretion.
|
5. |
In the Description of notes section, the second sentence of Certain covenants with
respect to the CollateralFurther assurances is replaced with the following: |
In addition, within 30 days of
the Issue Date the Issuer and the Guarantors will secure the obligations under the Indenture and the Security Documents by pledging or creating, or causing to be pledged or created, perfected security interests and Liens with respect to the
Collateral to the extent required by the Indenture and/or the Security Documents; provided, however, that with respect to the perfection of the security interests in property with respect to which a Lien may be perfected by the filing
of a UCC financing statement, the UCC financing statement will be required to be filed on the Issue Date.
All information (including financial
information) presented in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement is deemed to have been changed to the extent affected by the changes described herein.
(1) |
As described further in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement, we believe and intend to take the position that
the acquisition of a unit should be treated as an acquisition of separate instruments (i.e., the Notes and five shares of Common Stock) for U.S. federal income tax purposes and that the Notes should be treated as debt for U.S. federal income tax
purposes. However, this position is not free from doubt, and it is possible the IRS could challenge the position. Assuming the position is respected, the Notes will be issued with more than a de minimis amount of original issue discount
(OID) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, a holder subject to U.S. federal income taxation will be required to include such OID in gross income (as ordinary income) for U.S. federal income tax purposes as the OID accrues
on a constant yield basis, in advance of the receipt of cash payments that correspond to that income and regardless of whether such holder is a cash or accrual method taxpayer. The exact amount of OID will depend upon the issue price of the Notes
for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We will make our determination of the issue price available to holders as promptly as practicable, and in any event within 30 days of the Settlement Date. All holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors
regarding the application of the OID rules to their particular circumstances. |

Unit CUSIP will be used for all settlement of primary trades. |
