Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The information set forth in Item 3 and Item 5(d) of this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference.

Chapter 11 Reorganization of Issuer

On November 17, 2017, the Issuer, Real Alloy Intermediate Holding, LLC (“RAIH”), Real Alloy Holding, Inc. (“Real Alloy”) and certain of Real Alloy’s wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries (collectively with RAIH and Real Alloy, the “Real Alloy Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions (the “Chapter 11 Proceedings”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) seeking relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). On January 17, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the Issuer’s entry into a loan agreement and related ancillary documents with each of the GS Purchasers and an affiliate of the 210 Purchaser (the “210 Affiliate DIP Lender”) and pursuant to which such parties agreed to make a debtor-in-possession loan in the aggregate principal amount of $5.5 million to the Issuer on a senior secured superpriority basis (the “DIP Financing”). On March 1, 2018, the Issuer filed a plan of reorganization pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, and a disclosure statement with the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the Chapter 11 Proceedings. On March 29, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court approved the solicitation of the Issuer’s proposed plan of reorganization (the “Proposed Plan”) for the resolution of the outstanding claims against and interests in the Issuer and the accompanying proposed disclosure statement (as amended, the “Disclosure Statement”) with respect to the Proposed RI Plan. On May 2, 2018, the Issuer filed an amended plan of reorganization (as amended or revised, the “Plan”) with the Bankruptcy Court. The foregoing descriptions of the Plan and the Disclosure Statement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the contents of the Plan and the Disclosure Statement, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3 to this Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein by reference.

On May 2, 2018, following a confirmation hearing, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the Issuer’s Plan, which superseded the Proposed Plan in all respects. On May 8, 2018, the Issuer filed a revised version of the confirmed Plan in order to clarify a provision regarding the terms of the appointment of the members of the board of directors of the Issuer following the Effective Date.

---

Pursuant to the Plan, at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time (the “Effective Time”), on May 9, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), all issued and outstanding capital stock and options, warrants and other instruments convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for, any capital stock of the Issuer (other than the shares of Common Stock issued on the Effective Date pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement) were deemed cancelled pursuant to the terms of the Plan and the Confirmation Order. Immediately thereafter, shares of new Common Stock were deemed issued to the applicable holders of cancelled shares pursuant to the Plan at an effective ratio of 200 cancelled shares to one share of Common Stock; provided that, under the terms of the Plan and the Confirmation Order, holders of cancelled shares that would have received 100 shares of Common Stock or less were not entitled to receive any shares of Common Stock as of the Effective Time.

Pursuant to the Plan, the Issuer filed its Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended Charter”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware which, among other things, (i) changed the name of the Issuer from “Real Industry, Inc.” to “Elah Holdings, Inc.”, (ii) decreased the total number of authorized shares of capital stock to 2,500,000, consisting of 2,450,000 shares of Common Stock and 50,000 shares of preferred stock, (iii) provided for a classified board of directors, (iv) prohibited certain transfers of Common Stock without the prior approval of the Issuer’s board of directors in order to protect the Issuer’s net operating loss carryforwards, and (v) permitted the pursuit of business activities by the Issuer’s non-employee directors and stockholders and their respective affiliates that may overlap or compete with those business activities of the Issuer and waived the corporate opportunities doctrine with respect to such persons, subject to limited exceptions. The Issuer also adopted the Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Amended Bylaws”). In addition, the Issuer also filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware that restated the rights, powers and preferences of the Issuer’s Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and decreased the total number of shares designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock to 5,000 (the “Certificate of Designation”). In connection with the Amended Charter, the Issuer filed a Certificate of Elimination with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to eliminate its previously authorized Series B Non-Participating Preferred Stock that was eliminated pursuant to the Plan (the “Certificate of Elimination”). Each of the Amended Charter, Amended Bylaws, Certificate of Designation and the Certificate of Elimination became effective on the Effective Date.

The foregoing descriptions of the Amended Charter, Amended Bylaws, the Certificate of Designation and the Certificate of Elimination do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the contents of the Amended Charter, Amended Bylaws, the Certificate of Designation and the Certificate of Elimination, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 99.4, 99.5, 99.6 and 99.7 to this Schedule 13D and are hereby incorporated herein by reference.

Securities Purchase Agreement

Pursuant to the Plan and on the Effective Date, the GS Purchasers entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement with 210 Partners and the Issuer, pursuant to which the GS Purchasers agreed to purchase 181,036 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer for an aggregate purchase price of $8.75 million, and 210 Partners agreed to purchase 181,037 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer for an aggregate purchase price of $8.75 million. In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the full amount of the outstanding loans under the DIP Financing made by the GS Purchasers and the 210 Affiliate DIP Lender were applied to the purchase price paid by the GS Purchasers and 210 Partners, respectively. As a result, the cash portion of the purchase price paid by each of the GS Purchasers and 210 Partners for the Common Stock was reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by $2.76 million, or $5.52 million in the aggregate, and the agreement governing the DIP Financing was deemed satisfied and repaid in full.

Deregistration

On May 9, 2018, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Plan, the Issuer filed a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to deregister its shares of Common Stock under the Act.

Rights Agreement Amendment

In connection with the entry into the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Issuer entered into an amendment to that certain Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, dated as of November 2, 2017 (the “Rights Agreement”), between the Issuer and Computershare Inc., as rights agent, which exempts 210 Partners, the GS Purchasers, certain other stockholders of the Issuer, and their respective affiliates from the definition of “Acquiring Person” under the Rights Agreement.

Pursuant to the Acquisition Facility Commitment, the Issuer agreed not to enter into, or retain any other person or entity to arrange, any equity or debt financing without first offering GSAM the right to provide or arrange any such proposed equity or debt financing.

Other Information

The acquisition of the Issuer’s Common Stock by each of the GS Purchasers was for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons intend from time to time to review their investment in the Issuer on the basis of various factors, including the Issuer’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic and industry conditions, acquisition opportunities, the securities markets in general and for shares of Common Stock of the Issuer in particular, as well as other developments and other investment opportunities. Based upon such review, and subject to the agreements described above, the Reporting Persons will take such actions in the future as the Reporting Persons may deem appropriate in light of the circumstances existing from time to time, which may include further acquisitions of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer or disposal of some or all of the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer currently owned by the Reporting Persons or otherwise acquired by the Reporting Persons. In pursuing their investment purposes, the Reporting Persons plan to monitor the Issuer’s operations, merger and acquisition activity, prospects, business development, management, competitive and strategic matters, capital structure, and prevailing market conditions, as well as alternative investment opportunities, liquidity requirements of the Reporting Persons and other investment considerations. Consistent with their investment research methods and evaluation criteria, the Reporting Persons have in the past and may in the future discuss such matters with one or more shareholders, officers or directors of the Issuer, industry analysts, existing or potential strategic partners, investment and financing professionals, sources of credit and other investors.

Except as described herein, the Reporting Persons do not have any plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose, take other actions (including actions that could involve one or more of the types of transactions or have one or more of the results described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D), and/or formulate and implement plans or proposals with respect thereto. To the knowledge of each Reporting Person, each of the persons listed on Schedule I hereto may make similar evaluations from time to time or on an ongoing basis.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) The aggregate number and percentage of the class of securities identified pursuant to Item 1 beneficially owned by each Reporting Person are stated in Items 11 and 13 on the cover pages hereto. None of the Reporting Persons or, to the knowledge of any of the Reporting Persons, any of the persons listed on Schedule I hereto may be deemed to beneficially own any shares of Common Stock other than as set forth herein.

---

The Reporting Persons and the 210 Purchasers may be deemed part of a group within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Act as a result of the Securities Purchase Agreement described in Item 4. Each Reporting Person declares that neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor anything herein shall be construed as an admission that such person is, for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Act or any other purpose, a group with the 210 Purchasers or any other person.

 

(b)

Number of shares as to which each Reporting Person has:

 

(i)

sole power to vote or to direct the vote:

See Item 7 on the cover pages hereto.

 

(ii)

shared power to vote or to direct the vote:

See Item 8 on the cover pages hereto.

 

(iii)

sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of:

See Item 9 on the cover pages hereto.

 

(iv)

shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of:

See Item 10 on the cover pages hereto.

GS BDC, GSPMMC and GSMMLC are the direct beneficial owners of 46,214, 69,386, and 65,436 shares, respectively, of the Issuer’s Common Stock covered by this Schedule 13D.

As the investment adviser to each of the GS Purchasers, GSAM has shared power to dispose of and shared power to vote the shares of Common Stock held by each applicable GS Purchaser. GSAM does not directly own any shares of Common Stock. By reason of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Act, GSAM may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the shares of Common Stock beneficially held by each of the GS Purchasers. However, none of the foregoing should be construed in and of itself as an admission by GSAM as to beneficial ownership of Common Stock owned by any of the applicable GS Purchasers.

In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Release No. 34-39538 (January 12, 1998) (the “Release”), this filing reflects the securities beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons. GSAM is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (“GS Group”). This filing does not reflect securities, if any, beneficially owned by GS Group or any other subsidiaries of GS Group whose ownership is disaggregated from that of the Reporting Persons in accordance with the Release, and, in reliance on the Release, this filing does not include information regarding GS Group and its directors and executive officers as contemplated by Instruction C to Schedule 13D. GSAM, an investment adviser, disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities beneficially owned by (i) any client accounts with respect to which GSAM or its employees have voting or investment discretion, or both, and (ii) securities managed, if any, on GSAM’s behalf, by third parties.

The Reporting Persons and 210 Partners, Messrs. Alpert and Clark, and certain of their affiliates (collectively, the “210 Purchasers”) may be deemed part of a group within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Act as a result of the Securities Purchase Agreement described in Item 4.
