FiberTower Corporation, FiberTower Network Services Corp., FiberTower Licensing Corp., and FiberTower Spectrum Holdings LLC filed for Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case Nos. 12-44027 to 12-44031) on July 17, 2012, together with a plan support agreement struck with prepetition secured noteholders. FiberTower is an alternative provider of facilities-based backhaul services, principally to wireless carriers, and a national provider of millimeter-band spectrum services. Backhaul is the transport of voice, video and data traffic from a wireless carrier's mobile base station, or cell site, to its mobile switching center or other exchange point. FiberTower provides spectrum leasing services directly to other carriers and enterprise clients, and also offer their spectrum services through spectrum brokerage arrangements and through fixed wireless equipment partners. FiberTower's significant asset is the ownership of a national spectrum portfolio of 24 GHz and 39 GHz wide-area spectrum licenses, including over 740 MHz in the top 20 U.S. metropolitan areas and, in the aggregate, roughly 1.72 billion channel pops (calculated as the number of channels in a given area multiplied by the population, as measured in the 2010 census, covered by these channels). FiberTower believes the Spectrum Portfolio represents one of the largest and most comprehensive collections of millimeter wave spectrum in the U.S., covering areas with a total population of over 300 million. As of the Petition Date, FiberTower provides service to roughly 5,390 customer locations at 3,188 deployed sites in 13 markets throughout the U.S. The fixed wireless portion of these hybrid services is predominantly through common carrier spectrum in the 11, 18 and 23 GHz bands. FiberTower's biggest service markets are Dallas/Fort Worth and Washington, D.C./Baltimore, with additional markets in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Denver, Detroit, Houston, New York/New Jersey, Pittsburgh, San Antonio/Austin/Waco and Tampa. As of June 30, 2012, FiberTower's books and records reflected total combined assets, at book value, of roughly $188 million and total combined liabilities of roughly $211 million. As of the Petition Date, FiberTower had unrestricted cash of roughly $23 million. For the six months ending June 30, 2012, FiberTower had total revenue of roughly $33 million. With the help of FTI Consulting Inc., FiberTower's preliminary valuation work shows that the Company's enterprise value is materially less than $132 million -- i.e., the approximate principal amount of the 9.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2016 outstanding as of the Petition Date. The preliminary valuation work is based upon the assumption that FiberTower's spectrum licenses will not be terminated. Fibertower Spectrum disclosed $106,630,000 in assets and $175,501,975 in liabilities as of the Chapter 11 filing. Judge D. Michael Lynn oversees the Chapter 11 case. Lawyers at Andrews Kurth LLP serve as the Debtors' lead counsel. Lawyers at Hogan Lovells and Willkie Farr and Gallagher LLP serve as special FCC counsel. FTI Consulting serve as financial advisor.

Fisco, Esq., at Faegre Baker Daniels LLP, as counsel and J. Mark Chevallier, Esq., at McGuire Craddock & Strother PC as local counsel. William T. Neary, the U.S. Trustee for Region 6 appointed five members to the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in the Debtors' cases. The Committee is represented by Otterbourg, Steindler, Houston & Rosen, P.C., and Cole, Schotz, Meisel, Forman & Leonard, P.A. Goldin Associates, LLC serves as its financial advisors. On March 15, 2013, the Court entered an order authorizing the Debtors to sell assets that are primarily utilized by the Debtors to provide wireless backhaul services in the State of Ohio to Cellco Partnership (dba Verizon Wireless) free and clear for $1.5 million. In May 2013, FiberTower sought and obtained Court authority to sell their telecommunications equipment and employ American Communications, LLC, as telecommunications equipment reseller. According to the Debtors, the telecommunications equipment, which was a part of their backhaul business, is no longer necessary in the conduct of their business. They, however, believe that the equipment may have resale value that would benefit their estates. On Jan. 27, 2014, FiberTower, et al., obtained confirmation of their Fourth Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan.

The trust will be funded by secured notes, issued by the Debtors and their ultimate parent, RPM International Inc. ("International"), and the amounts and terms of the notes will, with one exception, be determined by the final outcome or settlement of the litigation that will determine the asbestos claimants' rights in the chapter 11 cases. The one exception is that the notes will provide for an aggregate initial nonrefundable payment of $125 million to the asbestos trust irrespective of the outcome of any litigation. In short, the Debtors and International have committed to pay to asbestos claimants the maximum amount to which they are entitled based on the applicable judgments or rulings in the litigation that will determine the extent of the claimants' rights in the chapter 11 cases, and to make comparable payments to other similarly situated creditors. The PI Committee and the FCR's Third Amended Plan, filed Oct. 15, 2013, provides that: (i) SPHC will be separated from non-Debtor direct or indirect parent Bondex International; (ii) Reorganized SPHC will be managed and/or sold for the benefit of holders of all Claims that are not paid in Cash, subordinated, cancelled or otherwise treated pursuant to the Plan; (iii) all of SPHC's causes of action will survive; (iv) Asbestos PI Trust Claims against SPHC will be channeled to an Asbestos PI Trust; and (v) current SPHC equity interests will be canceled, annulled, and extinguished. On May 20, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order estimating the amount of the Debtors' asbestos liabilities, and a related memorandum opinion in support of the estimation order. The Bankruptcy Court estimated the current and future asbestos claims associated with Bondex International, Inc. and Specialty Products Holding at approximately $1.17 billion. The estimation hearing represents one step in the legal process in helping to determine the amount of potential funding for a 524(g) asbestos trust. ********* Monday's edition of the TCR delivers a list of indicative prices for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par. Prices are obtained by TCR editors from a variety of outside sources during the prior week we think are reliable. Those sources may not, however, be complete or accurate. The Monday Bond Pricing table is compiled on the Friday prior to publication. Prices reported are not intended to reflect actual trades. Prices for actual trades are probably different. Our objective is to share information, not make markets in publicly traded securities. Nothing in the TCR constitutes an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any security of any kind. It is likely that some entity affiliated with a TCR editor holds some position in the issuers' public debt and equity securities about which we report. Each Tuesday edition of the TCR contains a list of companies with insolvent balance sheets whose shares trade higher than $3 per share in public markets. At first glance, this list may look like the definitive compilation of stocks that are ideal to sell short. Don't be fooled. Assets, for example, reported at historical cost net of depreciation may understate the true value of a firm's assets. A company may establish reserves on its balance sheet for liabilities that may never materialize. The prices at which equity securities trade in public market are determined by more than a balance sheet solvency test. A list of Meetings, Conferences and Seminars appears in each Wednesday's edition of the TCR. Submissions about insolvency- related conferences are encouraged. Send announcements to conferences@bankrupt.com by e-mail. On Thursdays, the TCR delivers a list of recently filed Chapter 11 cases involving less than $1,000,000 in assets and liabilities delivered to the nation's bankruptcy courts. The list includes links to freely downloadable of these small-dollar petitions in Acrobat PDF documents. Each Friday's edition of the TCR includes a review about a book of interest to troubled company professionals. All titles are available at your local bookstore or through Amazon.com. Go to http://www.bankrupt.com/books/to order any title today. Monthly Operating Reports are summarized in every Saturday edition of the TCR. The Sunday TCR delivers securitization rating news from the week then-ending. ********* S U B S C R I P T I O N I N F O R M A T I O N Troubled Company Reporter is a daily newsletter co-published by Bankruptcy Creditors' Service, Inc., Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania, USA, and Beard Group, Inc., Washington, D.C., USA.
