Item 4. | OWNERSHIP. |
(a) | Amount beneficially owned: | |
As of the date hereof, Highbridge Capital Management, LLC, as the trading manager of Highbridge International LLC and Highbridge Tactical Credit & Convertibles Master Fund, L.P. (collectively, the "Highbridge Funds") may, after giving effect to the NOL Blocker (as defined below), be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 7,628,531 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes held by the Highbridge Funds (the "Convertible Notes"). As discussed in Item 4(b) below, no Highbridge Fund is a greater than 5-percent shareholder (as defined by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the related Treasury regulations). | ||
(b) | Percent of class: | |
Except as set forth below, the percentages used herein and in the rest of this Schedule 13G are calculated based upon 76,953,223 shares of Class A Common Stock reported to be outstanding as of February 10, 2015 in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2014 filed on February 12, 2015 and assumes the conversion of the Convertible Notes held by the Highbridge Funds, subject to the NOL Blocker. Therefore, as of the date hereof, Highbridge Capital Management, LLC may be deemed to beneficially own approximately 9.0% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company. | ||
CUSIP No. 172406100 | 13G | Page 5 of 6 Pages |
Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Notes, no Highbridge Fund can convert any of the Convertible Notes held by it if such Highbridge Fund would become, after any such conversion, a 5-percent shareholder (as defined by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the related Treasury regulations) (the "NOL Blocker"). The number of shares of Class A Common Stock set forth in Rows (6), (8) and (9) of the cover page for the Reporting Person and the percentage set forth in Row (11) of the cover page for the Reporting Person give effect to the NOL Blocker. Consequently, at this time, Highbridge International LLC is not able to convert all of the Convertible Notes held by it due to the NOL Blocker. | ||
The foregoing should not be construed in and of itself as an admission by the Reporting Person as to beneficial ownership of the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes held by the Highbridge Funds. |
Item 5. | OWNERSHIP OF FIVE PERCENT OR LESS OF A CLASS. |
See Item 4. |
Item 6. | OWNERSHIP OF MORE THAN FIVE PERCENT ON BEHALF OF ANOTHER PERSON. |
