Explanatory Note

As previously disclosed, on March 16, 2020, Internap Corporation (“INAP”) and its affiliates Datagram LLC, Hosting Intellect LLC, Internap Connectivity LLC, SingleHop LLC, Ubersmith, Inc. and Internap Technology Solutions Inc. (collectively with INAP, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, White Plains Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”) seeking relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). The Debtor’s Chapter 11 Cases are jointly administered under the caption In re Internap Technology Solutions Inc. et al. The Debtors filed a joint Chapter 11 plan of reorganization and a related disclosure statement with the Bankruptcy Court in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code (the “Plan”). As previously disclosed, on May 5, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the disclosure statement and confirming the Plan.

On May 8, 2020 (the “Effective Date”), the Plan became effective in accordance with its terms and the Company emerged from the Chapter 11 Cases.  As part of the transactions undertaken pursuant to the Plan, INAP was converted from a Delaware corporation to a Delaware limited liability company (the “Conversion”) and renamed Internap Holding LLC (referred to herein for post-emergence periods as the “Company”).  In connection with the Conversion, the Company entered into that certain Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “LLC Agreement”) and issued common units in accordance with the Plan and LLC Agreement (“Common Units”).

On the Effective Date, the Company, certain of its subsidiaries, the lenders party thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as administrative and collateral agent, entered into a Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Exit Credit Agreement”).

The Exit Credit Agreement provides for, among other things, the conversion and refinance of certain loans under INAP’s DIP Facility (as defined in INAP’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 19, 2020) into term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $75.1 million. All term loans under the Exit Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate of either: (i) an applicable base rate plus 9.0% per annum or (ii) LIBOR plus 10.0% per annum.

Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Exit Credit Agreement will be used for, among other things: (i) the repayment of all obligations under the DIP Facility, (ii) the payment of  related transaction costs, fees and expenses with respect to the negotiation of agreements and the Company’s exit from the Chapter 11 Cases, (iii) to make other payments in accordance with the approved budget and (iv) for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

Priority and Collateral. The obligations under the Exit Credit Agreement will rank senior in payment to the obligations under the Second Out Term Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined) and junior or pari passu with obligations under revolving credit facilities that may be established from time to time in a principal amount not to exceed $25.0 million (“Revolving Credit Facilities”) and will be secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries party thereto, subject to customary carve-outs.

Affirmative and Negative Covenants.  The Exit Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including customary affirmative covenants related to providing financial information, maintaining ordinary business operations and compliance with the obligations of the Plan and customary negative covenants related to incurrence of indebtedness, creation of liens, making of investments, engaging in mergers or combinations, disposal of assets, declaration of dividends and distributions, transaction with affiliates, compliance with leverage ratios and similar covenants.

The Second Out Term Loan Agreement provides for, among other things, the conversion and refinance of certain loans under INAP’s Pre-Petition Credit Agreement (as defined therein) into term loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $225.0 million. All term loans under the Second Term Loan Agreement bear interest at a rate of either: (i) an applicable base rate plus 5.50% per annum or (ii) LIBOR plus 6.50% per annum.  Of the interest rates under the Second Out Term Loan Agreement, LIBOR plus 300 basis points will be payable in cash and the remaining LIBOR plus 350 basis points will be payable in kind, provided, that the Company may elect to pay 200 basis points of the LIBOR plus 300 basis points in cash to instead be payable in kind.

Use of Proceeds. Term loans under the Second Out Term Loan Agreement were incurred by the Company in connection with the Company’s obligations under the Plan to holders of Allowed Existing Loan Claims (as defined in the Plan).

Priority and Collateral. Obligations under the Second Out Term Loan Agreement will rank junior to obligations under the Exit Credit Agreement and Revolving Credit Facilities and will be secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries party thereto, subject to customary carve-outs.

Affirmative and Negative Covenants. The Second Out Term Loan Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including customary affirmative covenants related to providing financial information, maintaining ordinary business operations and compliance with the Plan and customary negative covenants related to incurrence of indebtedness, creation of liens, making of investments, engaging in mergers or combinations, disposal of assets, declaration of dividends and distributions, transaction with affiliates, compliance with leverage ratios and similar covenants.

The Company intends to file a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 8, 2020 to deregister the Common Stock, under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and suspend its reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.  Upon filing the Form 15, INAP’s obligations to file certain reports and forms with the SEC, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, will be immediately suspended. 

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Form 8-K contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are often identified by words such as “may,” “will,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “plans,” “intends,” “continue,” “could” or “should,” that an “opportunity” exists, that the Company is “positioned” for a particular result, statements regarding the Company’s vision or similar expressions or variations. These statements are based on the beliefs and expectations of the Company’s management team based on information available at the time such statements are made. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements.

Therefore, actual future results and trends may differ materially from what is forecast in such forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors. These risks and other important factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC and the Company’s other reports filed with the SEC could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements made in this Form 8-K.

Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on the Company’s behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing forward-looking statements. All such statements speak only as of the date made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
