*  On May 2, 2018, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware entered an order confirming the Chapter 11 plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) of Real Industry, Inc. (the “Company”), and the stay on such order was lifted at 12:01 a.m. EDT on May 9, 2018. The Plan became effective on May 9, 2018 (the “Effective Date”).

 

Pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date, among other things: (1) the Company adopted amended and restated certificate of incorporation, which included a name change to “Elah Holdings, Inc.”; (2) all common stock of the Company, par value $0.001previously issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date  (the “Old Common Stock”) were cancelled; (3) shares of new Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “New Common Stock”) were issued for distribution in accordance with the Plan to holders of the Old Common Stock on a 1 share of New Common Stock for 200 shares of Old Common Stock basis (with no fractional shares issuable, and rounding up from 0.51 shares and above); (4) shares of New Common Stock equal to 31% of the New Common Stock (and the payment of a $2 million cash payment) were issued in exchange for the cancellation of the Series B Non-Participating Preferred Stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date; (5) shares of New Common Stock equal to 49% of the New Common Stock, in the aggregate, were issued to the co-proponents of the Plan. The number of holders of record of the New Common Stock is less than 300.

 

** This Form 15 is intended to suspend all filing obligations under Section 12(g) and Section 15(d) with respect to both the Company’s Old Common Stock extinguished in accordance with the Plan and any obligation which may exist with respect to its New Common Stock.
