Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

 

Bluescape Energy Partners LLC (“Bluescape Management”) and Special Situations 2 have entered into an Agreement (defined and described in Item 6 below and incorporated herein by reference) with Elliott Associates, L.P., Elliott International, L.P. and Elliott International Capital Advisors Inc. (collectively, “Elliott”) whereby, among other things, Bluescape Management, Special Situations 2 and Elliott have agreed that they will coordinate and cooperate in certain activities related to their ownership of Securities (as defined in the Agreement). Accordingly, each of the Reporting Persons and Elliott may be deemed a group (the “Group”) for the purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Information regarding the other members of the Group, including their ownership of Common Stock, can be found in the Schedule 13D filed by Elliott on the date hereof with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and as may be amended from time to time. The Reporting Persons assume no responsibility for the information contained in such Schedule 13D filed by Elliott. The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of any Securities acquired by the other members of the Group.

 

The Group believes the securities of the Issuer are deeply undervalued and that there exist numerous opportunities to significantly increase shareholder value, including operational and financial improvements as well as strategic initiatives. The Group believes that Charles John Wilder, Jr. and his team have directly relevant experience in effectuating such improvements and are initiating a dialogue with management and the Board of Directors (the “Board”) to address these opportunities as well as implement appropriate Board-level oversight.

 

The Group is also evaluating the nomination of one or more individuals for election as directors of the Issuer at the 2017 annual meeting of stockholders and have requested from the Issuer a copy of the director nominee questionnaire that has to be delivered pursuant to Section 11(A)(2)(b)(iii) of Article II of the Issuer’s Third Amended and Restated By-Laws.

 

Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of securities of the Issuer at prices that would make the purchase or sale of such securities desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor (i) to increase or decrease their respective positions in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of securities of the Issuer on the open market or in private transactions, including through a trading plan created under Rule 10b5-1(c) or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable and/or (ii) to enter into transactions that increase or hedge their economic exposure to the Common Stock without affecting their beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock, including, among other transactions, the short selling of one or more classes of debt securities of the Issuer or its affiliates, or entering into other swap or derivative transactions that reference such debt securities.

 

No Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon or in connection with completion of, or following, any of the actions discussed herein. The Reporting Persons may take positions and/or make proposals with respect to, or with respect to potential changes in, the operations, management, strategy, plans, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws, Board composition, ownership, capital or corporate structure, dividend policy, or potential acquisitions or sales involving the Issuer or certain of the Issuer's businesses or assets as a means of enhancing stockholder value, or may change their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in this Item 4. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and may from time to time in the future express their views to and/or meet with management or the Board, may communicate with other stockholders or third parties (directly or through agents, whether in person or through press releases, social media or otherwise), including, potential acquirers, service providers and financing sources, and/or formulate plans or proposals regarding the Issuer, its assets or its securities. Such proposals or positions may include one or more plans that relate to or would result in any of the actions set forth in subparagraphs (a)-(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 

Item 5.

On January 16, 2017, Bluescape Management and Special Situations 2 entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) with Elliott whereby, among other things, they will coordinate and cooperate in certain activities related to their ownership of Securities (as defined in the Agreement). Pursuant to the Agreement, the following matters require the mutual agreement of the parties: (i) the selection and nomination of individuals to serve as directors of the Issuer; (ii) hiring professionals in connection with the activities contemplated by and resulting from the Agreement (including, without limitation, any investment bankers, local counsel, proxy solicitors, public relations firms and private investigators), other than any professionals retained by the parties in connection with the activities contemplated thereby or resulting from the Agreement prior to the date thereof; (iii) making, revising or withdrawing of any proposals to the Issuer regarding the conduct of its business, corporate governance matters, corporate transactions or otherwise; (iv) seeking to control, advise, change or influence the management, directors, governing instruments, stockholders, policies or affairs of the Issuer; (v) the conduct of any proxy contest, proxy solicitation or similar actions involving the Issuer and its stockholders; (vi) the manner, form, content and timing of any communications with the Issuer, as well as any public disclosures, public statements or other communications relating to the Issuer, the Securities, the Agreement or the activities contemplated by the Agreement (subject to certain exceptions for any disclosure, statement or communication that is required by law, regulation or fund documentation applicable to a party); (vii) the admission of any additional members to the group (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) formed by the Agreement or otherwise, or entering into any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, or determining to act in concert with, any person (other than an affiliate) in connection with the holding, voting or disposition of Securities or the solicitation of proxies from stockholders of the Issuer; (viii) the conduct of any litigation in furtherance of the activities contemplated by or resulting from the Agreement; (ix) entering into any settlement, standstill or other similar agreement with the Issuer; and (x) engaging in any of the foregoing activities, directly or indirectly, including, without limitation, through or by any Covered Entities (as defined in the Agreement), other than pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. Per the terms of the Agreement, the Reporting Persons have also agreed to (x) take such commercially reasonable actions as may be required so that they may vote their Common Stock, and cause any person with whom they has shared voting power to vote such Common Stock, in connection with any meeting of the Issuer’s stockholders, (y) attend any meeting of the Issuer’s stockholders held in the 2017 calendar year, in person or by proxy, such that all Common Stock held by them is represented and entitled to vote on all matters to be voted upon at such meeting, and (z) vote such Common Stock in person or by proxy in favor of the Company Actions (as defined in the Agreement) and any ancillary or procedural actions or matters related to giving effect to, or required to effect the approval of, the Company Actions and, with respect to any other proposal put forth for a vote of the stockholders at any such meeting, in accordance with any agreement of the parties prior to the conclusion thereof.
