Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

The Reporting Persons acquired the securities reported herein for investment purposes, subject to the following:

Pursuant to the terms of the Stockholder Agreement, GSO Capital Partners LP (on behalf of the GSO Funds and Blackstone Funds) is entitled to nominate two directors (the “GSO Directors”) to the Issuer’s board of directors (the “Board”). As previously disclosed by the Issuer, on April 11, 2020, the Board accepted the resignations of Messrs. Randall Kessler and Robert Petrini from the Board. On April 11, 2020, the Board elected Ms. Marjorie Bowen and Mr. Sherman K. Edmiston III to fill the vacancies created by the resignations of Messrs. Kessler and Petrini. Ms. Bowen and Mr. Edmiston replace Messrs. Kessler and Petrini, respectively, as the GSO Directors.

On April 16, 2020, the Issuer announced that the Board had formed a Special Committee consisting solely of independent directors to, among other things, review and evaluate potential strategic alternatives available to the business of the Issuer, including potential recapitalizations, financings, amendments, waivers, the restructuring of indebtedness, strategic transactions, rights offerings, sales of equity or assets or other transactions.

In connection with the foregoing, the Reporting Persons have engaged advisors to assist in a review and evaluation of strategic alternatives with respect to the Issuer and are engaged in discussions with advisors to the Special Committee and the Issuer, members of management, other security holders of the Issuer, lenders under the Issuer’s first lien credit agreement and other lenders to the Issuer and its subsidiaries, with respect to the Reporting Persons’ plans with respect to its investment in the Issuer. Such discussions have related to a potential restructuring of the Issuer and its subsidiaries, including the Reporting Persons interest in providing financing to the Issuer, a conversion of some or all of the Reporting Person’s existing debt into equity of the Issuer and/or one or more of its subsidiaries and/or making an equity investment in the Issuer and/or one or more of its subsidiaries. A transaction related to any such matters may result in one or more of the matters specified in (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. There can be no assurance that the Reporting Persons will take any specific action in connection with the matters set forth above, and if undertaken, the Reporting Persons may modify or terminate any activities at any time. There can be no assurance that any such discussions will result in a transaction being entered into or consummated.

Except as described in this Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D, or as would occur upon completion of any of the matters discussed herein, the Reporting Persons do not have any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, although such persons, at any time and from time to time, may review, reconsider and change their position and/or change their purpose and/or develop such plans and may seek to influence management or the Board with respect to the business and affairs of the Issuer, and may from time to time consider pursuing or proposing such matters with advisors, the Issuer or other persons.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5(a) and (b) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

Each such Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own the Common Stock beneficially owned by the Blackstone Funds and/or the GSO Funds directly or indirectly controlled by it or him, but neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any Reporting Person (other than the Blackstone Funds and GSO Funds to the extent they directly hold Issuer securities reported herein) is the beneficial owner of the Common Stock referred to herein for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or for any other purpose, and each of the Reporting Persons expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of such Common Stock.

The Tengram Funds have filed a separate Schedule 13D pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(2) under the Act containing the required information. The Reporting Persons assume no responsibility for the information contained in such Schedule 13D filed by the Tengram Funds.

(c)None of the Reporting Persons has effected any transaction in the past 60 days in shares of Common Stock.

(e) Effective as of January 1, 2020, Bennett J. Goodman stepped down as an executive of GSO Holdings I L.L.C. and GSO Capital Partners LP and therefore was no longer deemed to be a beneficial owner of the securities held by the GSO Funds.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

The information contained in Item 4 is incorporated by reference herein, as applicable.

On April 20, 2020, the Issuer entered into Amendment No. 2 and Waiver (the “Second Lien Amendment”) to the Second Lien Credit Agreement, among the Issuer, U.S. Bank National Association, as the administrative agent and collateral agent, and the GSO Funds and the Blackstone Funds (in their capacities as lenders under the Second Lien Credit Agreement).
