o Voting powers o Conversion rights o Pre-emptive rights o Ranking within • Primary objectives for the investment:

o Fixed income returns; less volatility than common equity o Capital appreciation with down-side protection superior to

Gibson Dunn 29 Preferred Equity: Considerations

• Potentially raise more capital than in PIPE of common equity

o Lack of market for public equity or extreme dilution at low stock price • Customize terms to meet the needs of the issuer and investor • Potentially issued at cheaper cost of capital than private equity or common equity • Current management can maintain control while raising large amount of capital

o Investor can protect investment with targeted governance rights o Particularly relevant for asset development financing • If public issuer, shareholder consent is required if voting power of preferred stock sold at a below market price is greater than 20% of voting shares outstanding or if purchasers include officers or directors

o Enter the “Bridge To Common” - If structured correctly, may allow for capital raise above these limitations

o Shareholder approval may also be required if insufficient authorized and unissued shares available

Gibson Dunn 30 Preferred Equity: Considerations (Cont’d)

• Coupon payments likely higher than debt

o PIK may be important • Cross-default provisions may cause issues • Approval rights or other terms can limit flexibility when addressing balance sheet issues (eg, refinancing debt or selling assets) • Dilution of current investors if convertible • Could have ratings implications on the capital structure if treated as a debt • Does not improve liquidity long-term • Process is longer than a

o Negotiating terms can be lengthy o Obtaining consents may increase cost o May involve registration of underlying common or stockholder vote (after receive the capital)

Gibson Dunn 31 Preferred Equity: Forms

• Convertible Preferred Stock (or Units for MLPs)

o Perpetual o Dividend (quarterly) ØSome have PIK option; limited examples of common stock option

o Convertible into common equity at valuation based on common equity (upside) ØRecently, 12-25% premium to current common price; may be time limited

o Issuer may force conversion at pricing threshold based on common equity o Typically no call for some period of time (eg, five years for equity treatment) ØRecently, add optionality for call with proceeds from certain equity offerings

o Typically no put (other than change of control) for equity treatment ØIf put, often at par plus any accrued PIK amounts

o Recently, investors require ability to put and opt for cash instead of conversion o Limited governance rights focused on adverse impact on preferred stock o Transfer restrictions; issuer may require standstill o Placement agent fee or commitment fee; reimburse investor’s expenses

Gibson Dunn 32 Preferred Equity: Forms (Cont’d)

• Fixed Return Preferred Stock

o Typically 5-10 year term o Might be issued at subsidiary level if tied to financing a specific project o Provides fixed return ØIf dividends limited by debt agreements, ratchet up liquidation preference

o Typically includes put after period of time o Typically includes call right above minimum return level (upside) o May be coupled with equity kicker, such as warrants o Governance requirements are stronger and may be tied to use of proceeds ØDistributions on common equity may be permitted subject to conditions (eg, satisfaction of leverage ratio test and current payment of dividends)

o Transaction or commitment fee; reimburse investor’s expenses

Gibson Dunn 33 3. Developments in High Yield Debt Offerings High Yield and Investment Grade Offerings: Overview

• Overview

o High Yield bonds rated below investment grade (rating is below BBB-/Baa3) o High Yield bonds and Investment Grade bonds ØDifferent investors/buyers ØBonds have vastly different covenants

o Both High Yield and Investment Grade bonds are a significant source of capital to the energy industry

Gibson Dunn 35 High Yield Offerings: Overview

• Senior to equity but typically junior to bank debt (bank debt is typically secured for high yield issuers) • Significantly less restrictive than bank debt • Generally not sold in issues of less than $300 million • Typically bears interest at a fixed rate (unlike bank debt which bears interest at a floating rate) • Interest payments typically made semi-annually (bank debt interest payments are made at least quarterly) • Interest may be payable in cash or in PIK notes (“payment in kind”) • “Discount notes” accrete principal, which is essentially PIK interest • Payment of principal on the notes is typically required to be made, in full, at final maturity • Term is generally longer than bank debt's (e.g., 7-10 years versus 4-6 years)

Gibson Dunn 36 High Yield Offerings: Overview (Cont'd)

• Unlike traditional credit facilities, high yield bonds contain call protection

• Optional prepayment: normally subject to a “no-call” period (5 years for 10-year notes, 3 to 4 years for 7-year notes) o Bank debt is usually optionally prepayable at any time without premium o During the no-call period, either prohibited from prepaying the notes or must pay a “make-whole” premium (i.e. present value of all remaining payments during the no call period discounted by the treasury rate plus a small margin) o After the no-call period, the premium may be a set percentage of the principal amount (half the coupon in a 10 year deal with a 5 year no-call), where the percentage declines over time

• Prepayment upon a Change of Control: the issuer must offer to repurchase the notes at 101% of the principal amount o Unlike a bank deal, a Change of Control does not trigger an Event of Default

Gibson Dunn 37 High Yield Offerings: Overview (Cont'd)

Covenants: Affirmative and negative covenants are designed to ensure that the issuer will stay financially healthy and will use money wisely, and that the noteholders will stay informed on the status of the issuer. • Since the directors of the issuer generally have no fiduciary duty to the debtholders, the debtholders use contractual obligations to protect their . • The terms will be quite issuer-specific, since the risks of the issuer (which the noteholders will want to limit) and the needs of the issuer (for which the issuer will want to maintain flexibility) will vary. • Terms of high-yield deals need to be more permissive than terms of bank deals because of the difficulty of obtaining consents from a widely dispersed group of high- yield note holders.

o When negotiating high yield covenants, need to think about issuer’s plans over the next several years to build in appropriate flexibility

Gibson Dunn 38 High Yield Offerings: Overview (Cont'd)

• Negative covenants restrict, among other things: o Asset Sales o Restricted payments (dividends to equity, payments of more junior debt and certain investments) o Incurrence of debt o “Dividend blockers” (restrictions on dividends, loans and asset transfers from subsidiaries of the issuer to the issuer) o Transactions with affiliates o Engaging in unrelated businesses o Mergers and sales of all or substantially all assets

• Affirmative covenants require, among other things: o Guarantees from new domestic subsidiaries o Delivery of financial statements

• Do not contain maintenance covenants

Gibson Dunn 39 High Yield Offerings: Overview (Cont'd)

• Guarantees:

o Prevent structural subordination o Typically are required if subsidiary guarantees other indebtedness (and correspondingly release if other indebtedness released) • Security:

o Typically, high yield bonds are unsecured o Secured bonds usually issued by distressed issuers • Events of Default:

o Non-payment of principal, premium or interest o Non-performance of covenants o Acceleration of other debt o Assessment of certain judgments o Bankruptcy

Gibson Dunn 40 High Yield Offerings: Overview (Cont'd)

• If an event of default exists, a set minimum percentage of the holders (typically 25%) may elect to accelerate the debt and all outstanding amounts immediately are due • High-yield events of default are usually more permissive than covenants in a bank deal, including “covenant lite” deals

Gibson Dunn 41 High Yield Offerings: Overview (Cont'd)

• Offering memorandum or prospectus, including a Description of Notes section (the “OM”)

o Typically look to disclosure requirements for registered deals even if not registered • Indenture • Notes • Purchase Agreement • Registration Rights Agreement (except in “144A for life” or registered deals)

Gibson Dunn 42 High Yield Offerings: Selected Issues

• Ability to Issue Secured Debt – the “Hookie Duke” • The liens covenant and the debt covenant worked together to limit the amount of secured debt • Traditionally, liens are limited to the specified credit facility basket • Many energy companies have a more aggressive provision which allows any “Credit Facility” to be secured o Allows ratio debt and refinancing debt to be secured • During the downturns in 2014 / 2015 and 2016 issuers used these provisions to raise secured debt and exchange unsecured debt for secured debt (“priming”) • New issuers should expect some resistance to including this exception

Gibson Dunn 43 High Yield Offerings: Selected Issues (Cont'd)

• Redemption Provisions • The general construct of having an equity clawback, a T+50 make-whole and a fixed redemption based on the coupon hasn’t changed • Two changes in the redemption mechanics: o Shortening the notice period on a redemption o Conditional redemption

Gibson Dunn 44 High Yield Offerings: Selected Issues (Cont'd)

• Change of Control covenant requires the issuer to make an offer to purchase the bonds in the event the issuer undergoes a change of control (so the bondholders have a put right) • Two trends in the Change of Control Covenant o “Two-Trigger” Change of Control – a change of control following by a ratings decline within a certain period ØMore for seasoned issuers o No Change of Control is no person owns more than 50% of the voting stock of a resulting holding company ØViewed as pretty aggressive

Gibson Dunn 45 High Yield Offerings: Selected Issues (Cont'd)

• Unrestricted Subsidiaries o Not subject to the covenants, but limitations on counting financial results for meeting covenants • Customary requirements: o Able to make an investment equal to the FMV of the subsidiary o All contracts between the issuer/restricted subsidiaries and the unrestricted subsidiary must be arms length o Issuer does not have an obligation to subscribe for additional equity interests or preserve financial condition • If creating a Joint Venture, the JV partner typically does not want the subsidiary subject to the covenants o The last requirement can be problematic

Gibson Dunn 56 5. Prospects for Rights Offerings Rights Offerings - Considerations

• Simply a dividend to all shareholder pro rata of a right to acquire equity for a set cash price • Prospective option for raising capital

o Concern over dilution in low equity price environment ØGives all shareholders opportunity to participate

o Need for capital but limited interest from new investors o Relative ease of execution o No traditional public offering expenses o Risk of funds shorting stock during public announcement o Longer process than some primary issuances (2 months) o Uncertainty as to amount of proceeds, unless employ backstop commitment • Board of directors must act in accordance with duties for declaring a dividend and manage any conflicts of interests

Gibson Dunn 58 Rights Offerings - Process

• Declare dividend of subscription rights for common stock on pro rata basis

o Price will be discount to market • Registered and transferable rights can be issued using registration statement that registers the rights before declaration

o Unregistered and nontransferable rights can be issued as a dividend without registration under “no sale” theory • Rights offering is open 16-40 days (NYSE requires 16-day minimum) • No special offering documents; SEC reports can satisfy information requirement • Committed backstop can provide certainty of some amount of proceeds

o Can offer “overallotment” option to all shareholders on pro rata basis • No shareholder approval required unless issuer pays compensation for backstop • Under SEC Staff guidance, must register shares of common stock underlying rights only after rights are outstanding (cannot use existing shelf) • Can involve concurrent PIPE to raise additional capital or receive unused backstop commitment capital

Gibson Dunn 59 6. Direct Listings Evolve Direct Listing

• Direct Listing: o listing of a privately held company’s stock for trading o on a national stock exchange (NYSE or Nasdaq) o without conducting an underwritten offering, spin-off or transfer quotation from another regulated stock exchange • Advantage of a Direct Listing as Compared to an IPO

o No Underwriting Fees or Roadshows

o No Lock-up Agreements - shareholders can immediately sell • Currently no ability for the issuer to raise capital through a primary offering in a direct listing but the NYSE has proposed amendments to its listing standards to permit such a primary offering • A privately-held company seeking to conduct a primary offering in connection with a direct listing under the NYSE’s revised proposal would qualify for such a transaction if:

o the company issues and sells at least $100 million in market value in the opening auction on the first day of listing; or

o the market value of shares sold in the opening auction by such company and the market value of publicly held shares immediately prior to listing, together, exceed $250 million

Gibson Dunn 61 NYSE Proposed Rule Change Regarding Direct Listing

Current NYSE Direct Listing Rules Proposed NYSE Rule Change (Pending SEC approval by March 29, 2020) only allows secondary direct listing, i.e., registered sale by allows “Primary Direct Floor Listing,” which permits a selling shareholders company to sell shares on its own behalf in connection with its initial listing upon effectiveness of a registration statement, without a traditional underwritten public offering requires the Company to demonstrate “it has $250 million in dispenses with such requirement for primary direct listing, as market value of publicly-held shares at the time of listing.” long as (i) the company sold at least $100 million in shares in the opening auction on the first day of listing, or (ii) the market value of shares sold in the opening auction by such company and the market value of publicly held shares immediately prior to listing, together, exceed $250 million company is required to have at least 400 round lot holders 90-trading-day grace period to demonstrate compliance with and 1.1 million publicly held shares at the time of listing the distribution requirements, so long as the company conducts (i) a primary offering of at least $250 million in market value of shares in the opening auction on the initial listing date, (ii) a secondary direct listing that demonstrates $350 million in market value of publicly held shares or (iii) a primary offering in which the aggregate of the market value of publicly held shares immediately prior to listing and the market value of shares sold by the company in the opening auction is at least $350 million.
