DESCRIPTION OF 2019 NOTES
In this Description of 2019 Notes, “HRG” refers only to HRG Group, Inc. (formerly known as “Harbinger Group Inc.”), and any successor obligor on the notes, and not to any of its subsidiaries, “Indenture” refers to the indenture dated as of December 24, 2012, by and between HRG and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent, as amended by the first supplemental indenture, dated as of May 23, 2014, “initial notes” refers to the 7.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 issued on April 14, 2015 and May 19, 2015, “additional notes” refers to all additional notes that may be issued under the Indenture, “exchange notes” refers to the 7.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 offered hereby and “notes” refers to, collectively, the initial notes, the exchange notes and all other notes issued and outstanding pursuant to the Indenture. You can find the definitions of certain terms used in this description of notes under “—Certain Definitions.”
HRG will issue up to $260.0 million aggregate principal amount of exchange notes offered hereby under the Indenture, in exchange for a like principal amount of initial notes. The exchange notes that we will issue you in exchange for your initial notes will be substantially identical to your initial notes except that, unlike your initial notes, the exchange notes will have no transfer restrictions or registration rights.
The terms of the exchange notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”).
The following is a summary of the material provisions of the Indenture and the Collateral Trust Agreement. Because this is a summary, it may not contain all the information that is important to you. You should read these documents in their entirety because they, and not this description, define your rights as holders of the notes. Copies of the Indenture and the first supplemental indenture are filed as Exhibit 4.1 to HRG’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 26, 2012 and Exhibit 4.1 to HRG’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 23, 2014, respectively. A copy of the Collateral Trust Agreement is filed as Exhibit 4.5 to HRG’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC on January 28, 2011.
Basic Terms of Notes
The notes are:
senior secured obligations of HRG, that are secured, along with the existing notes, by a first priority Lien (subject to certain exceptions and Permitted Liens) on the Collateral referred to below;
ranked equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated Debt of HRG and effectively senior to all unsecured Debt of HRG to the extent of the value of the Collateral; and
ranked senior in right of payment to all of HRG’s and the Guarantors’ future Debt that expressly provides for its subordination to the notes and the Note Guaranties (as defined below).
Maturity and Interest
The notes will mature on July 15, 2019. The Indenture governing the notes provides that the notes would have matured on May 13, 2018 if certain preferred stock existing on December 24, 2012 had not been redeemed, repurchased, otherwise retired or converted into HRG common stock on or prior to May 13, 2018 in accordance with the terms of the applicable Certificate of Designation. As all such preferred stock has heretofore been converted in accordance with the terms of the applicable Certificate of Designation, the notes will not mature on May 13, 2018. Interest on the notes will accrue at the rate of 7.875% per annum. HRG will pay interest on the notes semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, to holders of record on the immediately preceding January 1 and July 1. Interest on the notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid (including, with respect to exchange notes, interest paid on the initial notes surrendered for such exchange notes). Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.
HRG will pay interest on overdue principal of the notes at a rate equal to 1.0% per annum in excess of the rate of 7.875% per annum and will pay interest on overdue installments of interest at such higher rate, in each case to the extent lawful.
Additional Notes
Subject to the covenants described below, HRG may issue additional notes under the Indenture in an unlimited principal amount having the same terms in all respects as the notes, or in all respects except with respect to interest paid or payable on or prior to the first interest payment date after the issuance of such notes. The initial notes, the exchange notes and any additional notes will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture and will vote together as one class on all matters with respect to the notes. Additional notes cannot be issued under the same CUSIP number unless the additional notes and original notes are fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Guaranties
If any Subsidiary of HRG guarantees any Debt of HRG, such Subsidiary must provide a full and unconditional guaranty of the notes (a “Note Guaranty”).
