Do “Out-of-the-Money” Creditors Have Standing?

Do “Out-of-the-Money” Creditors Have Standing? There are many chapter 11’s filed primarily to sell the collateral for undersecured creditors—meaning that there isn’t any value generated for unsecured creditors or equity. This panel will explore the various issues that result such as basic standing and the appropriateness of forming and maintaining a creditors committee and an equity committee. The panel will also discuss the various arguments put forth to justify a carveout or “gift” for unsecured creditors and the often used “pay-to-play” rule occasionally asserted by out-of-the-money creditor groups. It will also examine ways to identify unencumbered assets early in the case and the possible benefits of keeping them free from post-petition liens granted to DIP Lenders. Lastly, the panel will discuss ways to maximize the Chapter 5 claims and the use of liquidating assets.

Sharing a Piece of the Pie: Gift Plans, Structured Dismissals and Carve-Outs Often bankruptcy is the best way for under-secured creditors to optimize collateral recoveries. But the price for bankruptcy relief is that secured creditors must share their recoveries with out-of-the money constituencies. This panel will explore such sharing arrangements in a variety of contexts–carve outs, gift plans and structured dismissals.
