Lenders Beware: Preservation of Credit Bid Rights Not Required Under Chapter 11 Plans
New Jersey Law Journal
by John S. Mairo and Kelly D. Curtin

...More
This is a follow-up to the Jan. 18 issue of the New Jer­sey Law Journal, discussion of two court decisions that analyzed a se­cured creditor’s “right” to credit bid, and the interplay of that right when a se­cured creditor’s collateral is being sold under a Chapter 11 plan. Porzio Bankruptcy/financial restructuring group attorneys discuss the implications of In re Philadelphia News­papers, LLC, et al., 418 B.R. 548, 573 (E.D. Pa. 2009) and the Third Circuit’s decision that when a Chapter 11 debtor proposes a plan to sell a lender’s collateral and seek con­firmation under the Indubitable Equiv­alent Prong, the lender cannot have the plan deemed unconfirmable on the ba­sis that a lender has an absolute right to credit bid when its collateral is being sold.

Secured Creditor's Right to Credit Bid May Be at Risk
New Jersey Law Journal
by John S. Mairo and Kelly D. Curtin

...More
 A secured creditor’s right to credit bid and the interplay of that right when a secured creditor’s collat­eral is being sold under a Chapter 11 plan has recently been put in focus by two court decisions:  (i) In re Pacific Lumber Co., 2009 WL 3082066 (5th Cir. Sept. 29, 2009); and (ii) In re Philadelphia Newspapers, LLC, et al., No. 09-11204, Docket No. 1234 (Bankr. E.D. Pa. 2009). This article focuses on each deci­sion’s analysis of whether a debtor can satisfy the “indubitable equivalent” prong of Section 1129(b)(2)(A) of the bankrupt­cy code when a Chapter 11 plan proposes to sell the secured creditor’s collateral and preclude the secured creditor from credit bidding in that sale.  Less
