Item 1 Comment:
This filing constitutes Amendment No. 7 (this "Amendment") to the Schedule 13D filed by Wesley R.

The Reporting Person is filing this Amendment to disclose that, on March 31, 2026, the Reporting Person entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to which the Reporting Person agreed to purchase approximately $110 million aggregate principal amount of the loans (the "Loan Purchase") issued pursuant to the Issuer's Credit Agreement, dated as of July 19, 2024, by and among the Issuer, as the borrower, the guarantors from time to time party thereto, the several lenders from time to time party thereto, and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding Inc., as administrative agent and collateral agent (the "Term Loan A Credit Agreement"). Upon closing of the transactions contemplated by the Restructuring Support Agreement as disclosed in the Issuer's Form 8-K filed on March 17, 2026, the Reporting Person is expected to receive a pro rata portion of the consideration to be received by the lenders under the Term Loan A Credit Agreement, which consideration is expected to include an indeterminate amount of Class A Shares and shares of preferred stock convertible into Class A Shares.
Other than as set forth in this Amendment, all previous Items of the Original Schedule 13D, as previously amended, are unchanged. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Original Schedule 13D, as previously amended. | ||
