Deep dives
HertzDS Approved and Revised Plan with Increased Recoveries
Judge Mary Walrath has approved the HertzDS disclosure statement, rights offering procedures, and the entry into an equity purchase and commitment agreement. The revised plan allows Class 11 pre-petition equity interest to vote and offers recovery in the form of six-year warrants for interest holders. Recoveries for Class 7 general unsecured claims have also increased by 100 million.
Malantraut Files Initial Plan of Reorganization
Malantraut debtors have filed their initial plan of reorganization and disclosure statement, closely following the amended RSA. The plan establishes an opioid claims trust, provides a governmental Aqthar claims settlement, pays back the first lien and revolving facility, and offers different options for first and second lien notes. Unsecured note holders are offered new second lien notes, plus reorganize equity and a management incentive plan. Existing equity would receive nothing under the plan.
IntelSat Mediation and Exclusivity Extension Approved
Judge Keith Phillips has granted the IntelSat debtor's contested plan mediation and exclusivity extension motions. The proposed settlement aims to preserve tax attributes, avoid litigation, and allocate distributions to Jackson creditors and parent entity creditors. However, the ad hoc IntelSat Jackson crossover group maintains that the parent entity creditors are out of the money.
