As previously reported, on September 20, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), Garrett Motion Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) each filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Debtors’ chapter 11 cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) are being jointly administered under the caption “In re Garrett Motion Inc., 20-12212.”
The Company is making available a presentation (the “Presentation”) to certain potential lenders participating in a meeting regarding the syndication of credit facilities to provide a portion of the exit financing for the Company and its subsidiaries following emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases. A copy of the Presentation is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
The Presentation was prepared to facilitate discussions among the Company and its prospective lenders and not for use by other holders or prospective holders of the Company’s securities and should not be relied upon to make an investment decision with respect to the Company. The Presentation includes estimated financial information and projections for the Company after giving effect to transactions that are expected to occur at the time of or prior to the Company’s emergence from chapter 11. The estimated financial information and projections are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and limitations. The projections were prepared using information available at the time they were prepared and do not reflect all accounting adjustments that would occur upon emergence. The estimated financial information and projections have not been audited. All projections reflect numerous estimates and assumptions made by management of the Company with respect to its financial condition, the performance of its business and conditions within its industry, general economic, market and financial conditions and numerous other factors, including the impact of COVID-19. All of these factors are difficult to predict accurately and in many cases are outside of the Company’s control. Finally, the financial information presented reflects assumptions about the terms of the Company’s proposed exit financing and other post-emergence securities, including with respect to fees and interest rates, which may differ from actual fees or rates. Actual results may differ from those reflected in the historical and projected financial information included in the Presentation, and such differences may be material. The Presentation does not constitute and the Company has not made by making this Presentation available a representation to any person regarding the Company’s future financial results or how any obligations will be treated as part of the reorganization. Many of the transactions set out in the Presentation remain subject to court approval. The Company may not pursue the contemplated transactions, or the terms of the contemplated transactions may change, and such changes may be material. Furthermore, the Company is not required to publicly update the Presentation to reflect more current facts or estimates or the occurrence of future events (1) if the facts, estimates and assumptions upon which the Presentation is based are erroneous, (2) if changes are made to any plan of reorganization, or (3) in other circumstances. Any projections or forecasts included in the Presentation were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or compliance with the published guidelines of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company’s independent accountants have not audited or performed any review procedures on the estimated information or projections contained in the Presentation. The Presentation includes certain measures that are not measures recognized under GAAP. These measures do not purport to be alternatives to measures presented in accordance with GAAP.
The Presentation does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy securities.
The information furnished pursuant to this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act.
Cautionary Information Regarding Trading in the Company’s Securities.
The Company’s securityholders are cautioned that trading in the Company’s securities during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. Trading prices for the Company’s securities may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by holders thereof in the Company’s Chapter 11 Cases. Accordingly, the Company urges extreme caution with respect to existing and future investments in its securities.
