AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO SCHEDULE 13D
This Amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No. 3”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on October 8, 2020, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on May 26, 2021 and by Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on May 16, 2022 (the “Schedule 13D”), relating to the common shares, no par value per share (the “Common Shares”), of Just Energy Group Inc., a Canada Business Corporations Act (“CBCA”) corporation. Each Item below amends and supplements the information disclosed under the corresponding Item of the Schedule 13D. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 3 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D. Unless otherwise stated herein, capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 3 shall have the same meanings herein as are ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.
Item 2.
Identity and Background.
Schedule A, as previously filed in this Item 2, is hereby amended and restated in its entirety, as set forth in Schedule A below.
Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.
This Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
Support Agreement
In connection with the Issuer’s proceedings under the CCAA (the “CCAA Proceedings”) and under Chapter 15 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, on August 4, 2022, certain affiliates of PIMCO, including the PIMCO Entities and CBHT Energy I LLC (collectively, the “Sponsor”), entered into a support agreement (the “Support Agreement”) with (i) the Issuer and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Just Energy Entities”), (ii) Shell Energy North America (Canada) Inc., Shell Energy North America (US), L.P., and Shell Trading Risk Management, LLC and (iii) certain secured lenders of the Just Energy Entities party thereto. Capitalized terms used but not defined under this heading shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Support Agreement.
The Support Agreement contemplates (i) a sale and investment solicitation process to be implemented in the CCAA Proceedings (the “SISP”) and (ii) the entry into a stalking horse transaction pursuant to the Transaction Agreement (as defined below), pursuant to which, among other things, (A) the Sponsor has agreed to act as a “stalking horse” bidder with respect to the SISP, (B) existing common shares and all other equity interests of the Issuer would be cancelled or redeemed for no consideration, (C) the issuance of new common equity and new preferred equity of the new parent company of the Just Energy Entities, which will be owned entirely by certain affiliates of PIMCO, and (D) the entry into the New Credit Agreement and the New Intercreditor Agreement on the terms set forth in the term sheets appended to the Support Agreement. An Order approving the SISP in the CCAA Proceedings will be sought from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) (the “SISP Order”), and recognition of the SISP Order will be sought in the United States under Chapter 15 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.
The Support Agreement contains certain covenants on the part of the parties thereto, as well as certain conditions to the obligations of such parties and termination rights upon the occurrence of certain events, including, without limitation, (i) the failure to achieve certain milestones and certain breaches by the parties under the Support Agreement and (ii) the Sponsor not being the successful bidder under the SISP. Additionally, upon the execution of the Support Agreement, each of the previously-executed Plan Support Agreement and Backstop Commitment Letter and the transactions contemplated thereunder automatically terminated.

The material terms of the Transaction are set forth in the stalking horse term sheet attached as Exhibit C to the Support Agreement.
Transaction Agreement
In connection with the Support Agreement, on August 4, 2022, the Sponsor entered into a Transaction Agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) with the Issuer, pursuant to which the Sponsor has agreed to act as a “stalking horse” bidder with respect to the SISP. Capitalized terms used but not defined under this heading shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Transaction Agreement.
The Transaction Agreement contemplates, among other things:
i.
The acquisition by the Sponsor of newly issued common and preferred shares (as described in the Transaction Agreement, the “Purchased Interests”) of Just Energy (U.S.) Corp. (or its successor if converted into another entity prior to the Closing in accordance with the Implementation Steps) (collectively, including the other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, the “Transaction”), and upon the Closing the Sponsor will own all of the issued and outstanding equity of Just Energy (U.S.) Corp., which at the time following the effectiveness of the Implementation Steps will own all of the outstanding equity of the Issuer;
ii.
pursuant to and subject to the terms of the Vesting Order, the cancellation for no consideration of all Equity Interests of Just Energy (U.S.) Corp. (or its successor if converted into another entity prior to the Closing in accordance with the Implementation Steps) other than the Purchased Interests and the cancellation or redemption of all existing equity interests of the Issuer;
iii.
a Cash Purchase Price of approximately $184.8 million (plus up to an additional C$10 million under certain circumstances) and Credit Bid Consideration of approximately $229.46 million and C$170,652.60, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon through to and including the Closing Date;
iv.
the assignment and transfer by the Just Energy Entities of all Excluded Liabilities and Excluded Assets to one or more newly formed entities pursuant to the Vesting Order; and
v.
a Break-Up Fee of $14.66 million to be paid to the Sponsor upon the consummation of an Alternative Restructuring Proposal in the event of termination of the Transaction Agreement in certain specified circumstances.
The parties’ obligations under the Transaction Agreement are conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of all applicable conditions set forth in the Transaction Agreement, including, among others, the entry by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) of the SISP Order and the Vesting Order, the completion of the Implementation Steps by the Just Energy Entities, the receipt of all required Transaction Regulatory Approvals and that upon the consummation of the Transaction, no Just Energy Entity will be a reporting issuer (or equivalent) under any United States or Canadian securities laws.
The foregoing are summaries of certain material terms of the Support Agreement and the Transaction Agreement. The foregoing descriptions are not, and do not purport to be, complete and, except as otherwise described above, are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the forms of those documents, which have been filed as Exhibits 99.5 and 99.6, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
