The Company expects to use the net proceeds received from the exercise of the rights and the Backstop Commitment for working capital, to repay debt and to fund accretive growth projects.

The rights offering is being made pursuant to the Investment Agreement, dated as of July 22, 2021, by and between the Company and Conversant Capital (the “Investment Agreement”) and is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the receipt of stockholder approval to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock and the consummation of the transactions pursuant to the Investment Agreement.

The Company expects to mail subscription certificates evidencing the rights and a copy of the prospectus and prospectus supplement for the rights offering to stockholders as of the rights offering record date beginning on or about September 10, 2021. Holders of shares of common stock in “street name” through a brokerage account, bank or other nominee will not receive physical subscription certificates evidencing the rights and must instruct their broker, bank or nominee whether to exercise subscription rights on their behalf. For any questions or further information about the rights offering, please call Georgeson LLC, the information agent for the rights offering, at 866-216-0462.

Neither the Company nor its Board of Directors has made any recommendation as to whether stockholders should exercise their rights. Stockholders are urged to carefully review the prospectus supplement and subscription materials the Company will provide and consult with their own legal and financial advisors in deciding whether or not to exercise the rights. The rights will be non-transferable. As such, stockholders will not be able to sell their rights if they do not wish to exercise them.
