Item 1. Description of Registrants Securities to be Registered
Reference is hereby made to the Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed by Rentech, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the
Company
), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
SEC
) on August 5, 2011 (the
Registration Statement
) relating to the Tax Benefit Preservation Plan, dated as of August 5,
2011 (the
Original Plan
) between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as Rights Agent. The Registration Statement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
On August 1, 2014, the Company entered into an amendment to the Original Plan (the
Amendment
, and together with the
Original Plan, the
Plan
), primarily to extend the final expiration date of the rights contained therein from August 5, 2014 to August 4, 2017, subject to shareholder approval. As a result, the rights will expire, unless
earlier redeemed or exchanged by the Company or terminated, on the earliest to occur of: (i) August 4, 2017, subject to the Companys right to extend such date, (ii) the first business day following the 2015 annual shareholder
meeting, if shareholder approval of the Plan has not been obtained by that date, or (iii) at the time at which the Board determines that the Companys net operating losses (collectively,
NOLs
) are fully utilized or no
longer available under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (the
Code
), or that an ownership change under Section 382 of the Code would not adversely impact in any material respect the time period in which the
Company could use the NOLs, or materially impair the amount of the NOLs that could be used by the Company in any particular time period, for applicable tax purposes.
The foregoing summary of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit
4.1 to the Companys Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on August 1, 2014, and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Original Plan and a summary of its material terms were filed with the SEC on Form 8-K on August 5, 2011

).
