AG RECYCLING: Lender Seeks to Prohibit Cash Collateral Access
--------------------------------------------------------------
St. Louis Bank, doing business as Saint Louis Bank and Edwardsville
Bank, asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of
Illinois to prohibit AG Recycling Inc. and affiliates from using
cash collateral, or alternatively, to require adequate protection
for its use.
Prior to the Debtors' Chapter 11 filings on November 9–10, 2025,
St. Louis Bank extended multiple loans to the Debtors, which are
secured by commercial security agreements, guaranties, deeds of
trust, and other collateral. As of November 10, 2025, the aggregate
indebtedness owed to the bank across all loans totals approximately
$7.11 million, including principal, accrued interest, fees, and
legal costs. The Debtors allegedly defaulted under the loan
agreements and a subsequent Forbearance Agreement, including
failure to pay real estate taxes and complete sales of inventory,
prompting the bank to accelerate the loans and schedule foreclosure
sales for certain real property.
St. Louis Bank claims that the Debtors are now operating their
businesses post-petition using the bank's cash collateral without
consent or court approval and have not proposed any form of
adequate protection, budget, or payments to safeguard the bank's
interests.
Under 11 U.S.C. Sections 363 and 552, St. Louis Bank argues that
its security interests extend to post-petition proceeds of
collateral and that it is entitled to adequate protection to
prevent diminution in value.

ALL PHASE: Unsecured Creditors to Split $100K over 3 Years
----------------------------------------------------------
All Phase Solutions, LLC filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Southern District of Florida a Subchapter V Plan of
Reorganization dated November 19, 2025.
The Debtor is a Florida-based construction company engaged in
government contracting and commercial construction projects.
The Debtor has sought use of chapter 11 to restructure its debts,
streamline its financial structure, and attempt to resolve ongoing
disputes with several creditors.
This Plan under chapter 11 of the Code proposes to pay creditors of
the Debtor from Cash on hand, operating income and future
receivables, unless otherwise stated. The final Plan payment is
expected to be paid 36 months from the Effective Date of the Plan.
Class 4 consists of all the Allowed General Unsecured Claims of the
Debtor. As reflected in the list of general unsecured creditors,
the Debtor estimates the aggregate amount of Allowed Class 4 Claims
is approximately $426,363.53. The Debtor estimates that if this
case were converted to a Chapter 7 case and all claims were Allowed
in full, the holders of Class 4 Claims will not receive any
distribution. If the Debtor's Plan is confirmed, each holder of an
allowed general unsecured claim against the Debtor will share pro
rata in a total distribution of $100,000.00.
Payments of $33,333.33 shall be distributed pro rata on an annual
basis, payable on a quarterly basis over three years, commencing on
the Effective Date. These payments shall be in full satisfaction,
settlement, release, and extinguishment of their respective Allowed
Claims. The Debtor may prepay any or all of the distributions
described herein with no prepayment penalty. The Class 4 Claims are
Impaired and any of the Allowed Class 4 Claimholders are entitled
to vote to accept or reject the Plan.
Class 5 consists of the Equity Interests of the Debtor in assets of
its Estate, which are retained under the Plan. All property of the
Estate shall re-vest in the Reorganized Debtor.
All payments as provided for in the Plan shall be funded by the
Debtor's cash on hand, operating income and future receivables,
unless otherwise stated.

1 Craton Rd Floyd, K18-172
1 Craton Rd Floyd, K18-189
5229 Rockmart Hwy Floyd, K18-191
The Sale Agreement also included one property owned by ACH:
5617 Rockmart Rd Floyd, K18-189A
On or around November 19, 2025, ASP and ACH, as the seller, CBRE,
as the broker, and The Revocable Living Trust of William Darryl
Edwards, as the purchaser, entered into that certain Real Estate
Purchase Agreement wherein Buyer agreed to purchase the 989
Property for $4,100,000.00, to be allocated
accordingly: $3,850,000 for the ASP Properties, and $250,000 for
the ACH Property.
The Purchase Agreement is subject to those mineral rights described
in that certain Quitclaim minerals Deed, Floyd County, Georgia.
The Purchase Price was the result of a months-long marketing
campaign by CBRE. CBRE and Debtors assert that the Purchase Price
is the fair market value of the 989 Property.
The ASP Properties are part of a portfolio securing an approximate
$8,453,345.002 debt, to Bank of America.
The ACH Property is part of a portfolio securing an approximate
$1,648,437.00 debt, to First National Community Bank.
Pursuant to the Sale Agreement, and as set forth in the Application
and subsequent order, CBRE is to receive a 5% commission on the
gross sale amount of the 989 Property, to be paid at closing.
The commission due to CBRE will be $205,000.00, which amount
includes $192,500.00, for the ASP Properties, and $12,500.00 for
the ACH Property.
The net sale proceeds from the ASP Properties, as much as
applicable and agreed to by BOA, shall be used to pay down the BOA
Lien.
The net sale proceeds from the ACH Property shall be used to pay
down the FNCB Lien.
Debtors believe that the ASP and ACH Proceeds constitute fair
market value for the 989 Property and will maximize value to their
estate.
Debtors assert that, since the balance of the ASP and ACH Proceeds
must be paid to BOA and FNCB, respectively, notice of the closing
statement, which will not be available until shortly before the
projected December 29, 2025, closing date, to the US Trustee, BOA
and FNCB only is necessary.

AMERICAN PEST: Amends Plan to Include SBA Secured Claim
-------------------------------------------------------
American Pest Solutions, Inc., submitted a Modified Subchapter V
Plan of Reorganization dated November 19, 2025.
This Modified Plan amends the Plan confirmed on September 19, 2025
(the "Confirmed Plan").
The Court confirmed the Debtor's Plan on September 19, 2025. After
confirmation and prior to the claims bar date, the U.S. Small
Business Administration ("SBA") filed Proof of Claim No. 7
asserting a total claim of $116,816.55, consisting of a secured
portion of $7,270.00 and an unsecured portion of $109,546.55.
The Confirmed Plan did not provide treatment for the SBA claim.
Additionally, SouthState Bank, N.A., previously treated as a
secured creditor in Class 4, is junior in priority to the SBA lien
and is therefore wholly unsecured. The Modified Plan adds an
impaired secured class for the SBA's secured portion and
reclassifies SouthState's claim as a wholly general unsecured
claim. Pursuant to Sections 1193(b) and 1101(2) of the Bankruptcy
Code, the Confirmed Plan has not been substantially consummated.
Accordingly, the Debtor may modify the Confirmed Plan as set forth
herein.
This Modified Chapter 11, Subchapter V Plan proposes to treat all
allowed claims against and all allowed interests in the Debtor. The
Modified Plan provides for a total of six classes of claims and
interests: three classes of unimpaired secured claims, one class of
impaired secured claims, one class of general unsecured claims, and
one class of equity interest holders.
The Debtor's financial projections show that the Debtor will have
projected disposable income of $136,955.00, reduced by projected
secured and administrative claims in the amount of $71,360.03,
leaving $65,594.97 disposable income to be disbursed to general
unsecured claimants.
The Disposable Income Projection projects that after payment of
ordinary business expenses, administrative creditors, priority
creditors and secured creditors, the Debtor will generate net cash
flow of approximately $44,274.00 in the 36 months following the
Effective Date of the Plan. All of these funds, less any funds
incurred for Disputed Claim Professional Fees, will be paid to
General Unsecured Creditors under the Plan.
Class 4 consists of the Secured Claim of the U.S. Small Business
Administration ("SBA"). The amount of claim in this Class total
$116,816.65. This Class will receive a distribution of $7,270.00.
Payment Terms:
* The Debtor shall pay the SBA the total secured amount of
$7,270.00 which shall commence on the distribution date following
the Modified Effective Date of the Modified Plan.
* The SBA shall retain its lien on the collateral securing the
claim until the secured portion is paid in full.
* Upon receipt of all payments required under this Class, the
SBA shall release its lien.
Because the SBA did not have the opportunity to vote on the
Confirmed Plan before confirmation, the Debtor will seek
confirmation of this Modified Plan under Section 1191(b) of the
Bankruptcy Code. The Debtor submits that the treatment proposed for
the SBA is fair and equitable and satisfies the requirements of
Section 1129(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, as incorporated by
Section 1191(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, including retention of the
SBA's lien and deferred cash payments totaling at least the allowed
amount of its secured claim.
Class 5 consists of all allowed general unsecured claims. The
Modified Plan restructures the treatment of a creditor formerly
designated as holding a secured claim. Upon review of the
collateral value and the nature of the underlying claim, the Debtor
has reclassified the claim as a general unsecured claim pursuant to
Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code. Accordingly, the creditor,
SouthState Bank, NA, is now included within the unsecured creditor
class and will receive distributions in accordance with the Class 5
treatment.
The creditors shall share in a pro rata total distribution of an
estimated $65,594.97. Allowed general unsecured claimants shall
receive payment over three years, (36 months), at the end of each
twelve-month period, ending at month thirty-six. This Class is
impaired.
The means necessary for the execution and funding of this Plan will
be the result of the Debtor's operations vi-a-vis the Agreement
with Affiliate American Pest Solutions & Fumigation, LLC, which is
pending approval by the Court under Rule 9019, Federal Rules of
Bankruptcy Procedure.
The Plan shall be funded through the revenue of the Debtor's
business operations.

APEX TOOL: S&P Upgrades ICR to 'CCC' Following Debt Exchanges
-------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings raised its issuer credit rating on private U.S.
tool manufacturer Apex Tool Group LLC to 'CCC' from 'SD'.
S&P said, "At the same time, we assigned the following ratings to
Apex Tool Ultimate Holdings LLC's debt, including: 'B-' issue-level
and '1' recovery ratings to its new $155 million super-priority
term loan; 'CCC' issue-level and '4' recovery ratings to its $629
million tranche A-1 term loan; and 'CC' issue-level and '6'
recovery ratings to its $120 million tranche A-2 and $431 million
tranche B-1 term loans.
"We also lowered our issue-level rating on Apex Tool Group LLC's
existing $171.6 million super-priority revolving credit facility
(RCF) to 'B-' from 'B'. The '1' recovery rating is unchanged.
The negative outlook reflects our expectation that the company's
weaker power tool and flat hand tool volumes will pressure its
adjusted leverage over the next 12 months."
Apex Tool Group engaged in a series of exchanges with existing
debtholders that S&P previously deemed to be a selective default
(SD).
S&P said, "Though marginally improved, we still view Apex's capital
structure as unsustainable absent a significant improvement in
profitability. The company has entered into debt exchanges that we
viewed as distressed because its creditors received less than they
were originally promised under the obligations. Overall, we view
these changes as marginally positive because they extend the
capital structure's maturity profile and lower interest costs while
improving its liquidity."
The company's debt load remains a challenge. Despite the marginally
positive implications of reduced interest expense and extended
maturities, the company's debt load is still substantial. Apex will
continue to face high interest expense from its outstanding debt,
which will likely limit its ability to generate positive free
operating cash flow (FOCF) during the remainder of fiscal-year 2025
and through the first half of 2026. As such, S&P continues to
believe the company is reliant on favorable economic and business
conditions to meet its debt obligations over the next year.
Apex's accounts receivable (AR) facility is current and has yet to
be refinanced. The $50 million AR facility matures in December
2025. While the company has indicated it is in the process of
renegotiating the facility, S&P notes the ongoing revenue headwinds
and the recent debt exchanges may increase the risk of refinancing
the facility before its December maturity.
The negative outlook reflects S&P's expectation that the company's
weaker power tool and flat hand tool volumes will pressure its S&P
Global Ratings-adjusted leverage, causing its debt to EBITDA to
remain above 11x (with EBITDA interest coverage of 1.0x-1.5x) over
the next 12 months.
S&P could lower its rating on Apex over the next six to 12 months
if:
-- The company's operating performance further declines such that
S&P believes it will not be able to meet its debt obligations;
-- S&P assesses its liquidity as weak; or
-- It undertakes another debt exchange or restructuring that S&P
views as distressed, or it is unable to refinance its AR facility
prior to maturity.
S&P could raise its ratings on Apex if the company successfully
addresses its current maturity on its AR facility, addressing
liquidity risk over the next 12 months.
ARCADIAN RESOURCES: Amends Plan; Confirmation Hearing Jan. 9, 2026
------------------------------------------------------------------
Arcadian Resources, LLC, submitted a Disclosure Statement in
support of Second Amended Plan of Reorganization dated November 20,
2025.
The Debtor's revenue and cash flows have come under significant
strain due to, among other things, market conditions in the oil and
gas industry, operational challenges with the Saratoga Well that
delayed production and resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars
of costs to repair the well, and multiple judgments by creditors
seeking to foreclose on the Saratoga Well.
Like in the prior iteration of the Plan, except to the extent that
a Holder of a General Unsecured Claim in Class 2 agrees to a less
favorable treatment of its Allowed Claim, in full and final
satisfaction, settlement, release, and discharge of and in exchange
for each Allowed General Unsecured Claim, each such Holder shall
receive their pro rata share of the Reorganized Debtor's equal,
consecutive monthly payments in the amount of $2,000.00 commencing
thirty days after the Effective Date.
Upon the Effective Date of the Plan, all of the existing membership
shares of the Debtor will be cancelled. The Reorganized Debtor will
issue the New Membership Interests, which shall represent all of
the issued and outstanding equity of the Reorganized Debtor, to the
Plan Funder in exchange for the Plan Payment in the amount of
$560,000.00.
The assets acquired by the Plan Funder via purchase of the New
Equity shall include all assets necessary or related to the
business including cash, receivables, equipment, and the Saratoga
Well. The Plan Payment is equivalent to the fair market value of
the Equity Interests in the Debtor. In the event the value of the
New Equity is contested, the Debtor agrees to auction the New
Equity at the Confirmation Hearing.
From and after the Effective Date, the Debtor will continue to
exist as the Reorganized Debtor. As shown in the Reorganized
Debtor's projections, the Reorganized Debtor has the funds
necessary to pay the Holders of Allowed Claims. With respect to the
balloon payment due to the Mineral Lienholders on the sixtieth
month in the amount of $1,285,060.00, the Debtor anticipates that
the funds necessary to satisfy the payment will either be derived
from the production of oil at one of the nine right to drill wells,
or from a contribution by the Plan Funder.
The Bankruptcy Court has set January 9, 2026, at 10:00 A.M. as the
date and time for the hearing on the disclosure statement and
confirmation of the plan.
The Bankruptcy Court has further fixed December 22, 2025, at 4:00
P.M. as the deadline for filing objections to the disclosure
statement and confirmation of the plan. Counsel for the Debtor must
receive the original ballots on or before December 24, 2025 (the
"Voting Deadline").

ATLAS OPCO: S&P Assigns 'CCC+' ICR on New Capital Structure
-----------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned a 'CCC+' issuer credit rating to Atlas
Opco LLC (dba Alvaria; the new borrower and the parent company of
Atlas Midco LLC, the former borrower) and a 'CCC+' issue-level
rating to its new exit term loan facility. S&P also raised its
issuer credit rating on Atlas Midco to 'CCC+' and discontinued all
issue-level ratings for Atlas Midco because its debt no longer
exists.
S&P said, "The stable outlook reflects our view that Alvaria has
sufficient cash balances to meet its operating and debt servicing
requirements over the next 12 months. Nevertheless, we believe
persistent revenue headwinds could undermine the sustainability of
its capital structure."
Alvaria issued a new tranche of debt as part of its recently
completed distressed debt exchange.
The company emerged from the transaction with a significantly
reduced debt load, and S&P expects interest savings to support
slightly positive free operating cash flow (FOCF) this year.
Alvaria's recapitalization enhances its financial flexibility and
provides it with more runway to execute on strategic initiatives.
As part of the transaction, Alvaria reduced its debt burden to $198
million at close from about $970 million. Its debt includes $58
million of newly invested debt capital. The new exit term loan
contains no maintenances covenants, matures in 2030, and does not
provide for a revolving credit facility at this time.
With maturities extended and interest expense reduced by nearly
$100 million, Alvaria's execution headroom has improved
significantly, with leverage forecasted near 3.6x by year end. S&P
said, "Accordingly, we expect the company to ramp up business
investments for the remainder of this year and into next year. We
also expect interest expense savings to drive positive, albeit
modest, FOCF of $0-$10 million in fiscal 2025."
Top-line headwinds have persisted in fiscal 2025. Following data
breaches in 2022 and 2023, Alvaria suffered customer losses that
drove recent revenue declines. Subsequent restructuring events and
financial challenges have similarly hampered the company's ability
to win new customers. While revenues are still showing some signs
of softness so far this year, the pace of revenue contraction has
slowed.
S&P said, "Although we believe Alvaria is now much better
positioned to stabilize revenues over the near term given its
right-sized capital structure and improved capacity to invest in
research and development and sales, the company still faces
obstacles going forward. These include recent reputational damage,
hyper-competitive customer experience and workforce engagement
management markets, and change of control risk, with Nut Tree
Capital becoming the new majority equity owner following the debt
exchange. While Nut Tree has communicated its commitment to
preserving the current strategy of stabilizing revenues and
maintaining profitability, we believe any change of control
introduces some degree of transition risk as execution quality and
governance dynamics can evolve under new stewardship. With $45
million of cash expected on its balance sheet by the end of the
year, any material cash flow underperformance relative to our base
case could undermine the sustainability of Alvaria's capital
structure.
"The stable outlook reflects our view that Alvaria has sufficient
cash balances to meet its operating and debt servicing requirements
over the next 12 months. Nevertheless, we believe persistent
revenue headwinds could undermine the sustainability of its capital
structure.
"We could lower our ratings on Alvaria if we believe there is
elevated risk of a subsequent distressed debt exchange or default
scenario over a 12-month period. This could be due to operating
underperformance leading to continued revenue declines, EBITDA
margin deterioration, or accelerating cash outflows.
"We could raise our ratings on Alvaria if operating performance has
normalized and we believe its capital structure is sustainable.
This could be evidenced by revenue inflection, accelerating
positive FOCF, and growing cash balances."
ATS CORP: S&P Affirms 'BB+' ICR on Continued Leverage Reduction
---------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings affirmed its 'BB+' issuer credit rating on
Ontario-based automation firm ATS Corp. and its 'BB' issue-level
rating.
The stable outlook reflects S&P's view that ATS will generally
maintain adjusted debt to EBITDA of 2x-3x and adjusted free
operating cash flow (FOCF) to debt of 15%-25% over the next few
years.
Leverage remains on track to return below 3x this fiscal year,
supported by customer recoveries and a robust backlog driving
continued growth in key sectors, including life sciences and
energy. ATS right-sized its transportation business in fiscal 2025
(ended March 31, 2025) in response to the slower adoption of
electric vehicles (EVs) in North America, which led some customers
to shift production strategies. S&P said, "At the time, these
customers constituted most of ATS' transportation segment, which
accounted for about 30% of revenue, much higher than the
approximately 10% of revenue we expect this year. This drop in
earnings led to S&P Global Ratings-adjusted debt to EBITDA for ATS
of 4.2x in fiscal 2025, which we considered temporarily high for
the rating. We continue to expect the company to focus on
deleveraging such that leverage returns to below 3x by the end of
this fiscal year. In the first quarter of this year, ATS received a
C$194 million settlement from an EV customer that contributed to
about a 0.4x reduction in leverage. This cash inflow--combined with
our expectation for strong growth in the company's life sciences
and energy end-markets--underpin our forecast leverage of about
2.9x by the end of fiscal 2026 (ending March 31, 2026), with a
further reduction the following year. We assume no acquisitions and
modest shareholder distributions in the near term, incorporating
our view that management will prioritize deleveraging over other
capital-allocation opportunities."
S&P said, "The stable outlook reflects our view that ATS will
generally maintain adjusted debt to EBITDA of 2x-3x and FOCF to
debt of 15%-25% over the next few years while continuing its M&A
strategy.
"We could downgrade ATS within the next 12 months if we expect it
to sustain adjusted debt to EBITDA above 3x or adjusted FOCF to
debt below 15% over a couple of years." This could occur if:
-- Demand weakens such that the company underperforms against
S&P's estimates from persistent cost pressures or operating
challenges that reduce margins; or
-- The company pursues spending on acquisitions or shareholder
distributions above our estimates.
Although unlikely within the next 24 months, S&P could upgrade ATS
if:
-- Adjusted debt to EBITDA declines below 2x and adjusted FOCF to
debt increases above 25%;
-- S&P believes the company's financial policy will sustain such
credit measures over the long term; and
-- S&P expects the company to generate solid organic growth and
steady profitability.

AZUL SA: Seeks Approval of Strategic Investment Agreements
----------------------------------------------------------
Azul S.A. and its subsidiaries, ask the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Southern District of New York for approval to enter into
strategic investment agreements that are essential to the
successful confirmation and implementation of their Chapter 11
plan.
At the outset of the cases, Azul secured broad stakeholder support
through a network of restructuring support agreements with key
strategic partners, a majority of its secured creditors, and its
largest aircraft lessor, all designed to facilitate a coordinated,
value-maximizing reorganization. The Plan, built on these RSAs,
will reduce Azul's funded debt by more than $2 billion and position
the company—Brazil's largest airline by departures and cities
served, with 226 aircraft, 16,000 employees, and 900 daily
flights—for long-term operational and financial strength.
American Airlines and United Airlines have each committed to invest
$100 million, totaling a $200 million “Investment Commitment,”
at a 30% discount to plan equity value, in exchange for new equity
issued at emergence through a direct allocation in the equity
rights offering. This strategic capital injection is a linchpin of
the entire restructuring: it provides essential liquidity, supports
the Debtors' ability to confirm the Plan, and bolsters negotiations
with other stakeholders, including aircraft lessors such as AerCap,
whose settlement—resulting in over $1 billion in fleet
savings—is expressly conditioned on the Strategic Partners'
investment. The Investment Commitment is further required under the
$650 million ERO backstop agreement, which mandates execution of
binding investment agreements from the Strategic Partners prior to
the disclosure statement hearing and conditions consummation of the
backstop on their funding.
The Debtors explain that the Strategic Investment Agreements were
the product of extensive, months-long negotiations and represent
customary, market-based terms, including the Debtors' obligation to
reimburse reasonable professional fees and indemnify each Strategic
Partner for losses arising out of the investment agreements, which
will constitute allowed administrative expenses under sections
503(b) and 507.
The agreements remain open for fifteen months from the Petition
Date, and a defaulting Strategic Partner forfeits both its
reimbursement rights and any entitlement to Subscribed Securities.
The Debtors assert that without approval of these agreements, the
Plan and its accompanying value-enhancing transactions—including
the ERO, the backstop, the AerCap fleet restructuring, and the
overall recapitalization of roughly $850 million of new
equity—would collapse, leaving the Debtors with no viable path to
emergence.
The Debtors request swift approval to preserve the stability of the
restructuring, maintain momentum toward confirmation, and ensure a
successful emergence with a deleveraged balance sheet, strengthened
commercial partnerships, and sufficient liquidity to support
sustainable operations going forward.

BEREAN ACADEMY: S&P Lowers School Refunding Bond Rating to 'BB-'
----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings lowered its long-term rating on the Pima County
Industrial Development Authority, Ariz.'s series 2021 charter
school refunding bonds, issued for Berean Academy, to 'BB-' from
'BB'.
The outlook is stable.
S&P said, "The downgrade reflects our view of Berean Academy's
weakened demand profile, given its five years of consecutive
enrollment declines, which have pressured operations and liquidity
to levels and sensitivity that are not consistent with that of its
higher-rated peers.
"The academy employs one of its governing board members, and we
view this as a governance structure risk. However, we believe the
formally adopted conflict-of-interest policy and state guidelines
related to governance and operations somewhat mitigate this risk.
We consider Berean's environmental and social factors as neutral in
our credit rating analysis.
"The stable outlook reflects our view that Berean will stabilize
its financial operations on an audited basis for fiscals 2025 and
2026 such that lease-adjusted MADS coverage will meet covenants,
and liquidity will remain in line with the current rating level. It
also reflects our understanding that there are no debt plans at
this time.
"We could consider a negative rating action if enrollment declines,
or we see indications that the enrollment size is unable to sustain
operations, such that financial performance, liquidity, or MADS
coverage deteriorate to levels no longer commensurate with those of
its similarly rated peers. In addition, we could consider a
negative rating action if the school fails to remain compliant with
its bond covenants, or if bondholders indicate they will take
action regarding the academy missing its DSC ratio covenant in
fiscal 2024.
"Though unlikely within the outlook period, we could consider a
positive rating action if the school's enrollment increases while
operating performance remains at least balanced and MADS coverage
and liquidity improve to a level comparable its higher-rated peers,
in the absence of one-time funds."

but not specifically disbursed to a secured creditor under this
Plan, shall be used to pay the following claims in the priority
indicated:
* Except as provided in Section 1191(e) of the Bankruptcy
Code, all claims entitled to priority under Section 507 of the
Bankruptcy Code shall be paid in accordance with Section 1129(a)(9)
of the Bankruptcy Code.
* Pursuant to Section 1191(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, the
payment of claims entitled to priority under Section 507(a)(2) and
Section 507(a)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be paid under the
Plan.
* All secured claims shall be paid in accordance with Section
1129(b)(2)(A), Section 1191(b), and Section 1191(c) of the
Bankruptcy Code.
* After payment of the foregoing claims, sums received by the
Trustee shall be paid, on a pro-rata basis, to allowed general
unsecured claims.
* In accordance with Section 1191 of the Bankruptcy Code and
the terms of this Plan, the Debtor's equity security holders shall
retain their interests in the Debtor.
During the term of this Plan, the Debtor shall pay the disposable
income necessary for the performance of this plan to the Subchapter
V Trustee and shall pay the Trustee the sums set forth herein.

BOY SCOUTS: Plan Appeal Gains Additional Claimant Support
---------------------------------------------------------
Alex Wolf of Bloomberg Law reports that the Boy Scouts of America's
$2.46 billion sex abuse settlement is rapidly moving toward
insolvency, according to a coalition of about 1,000 former scouts
backing a petition for the U.S. Supreme Court to review the
organization's bankruptcy plan. The group argued that the plan,
once promoted by the Boy Scouts as a landmark solution, is failing
to deliver meaningful compensation to the tens of thousands of
survivors.
In a filing with the high court, the former scouts said that the
trust established to distribute payments is already showing signs
of financial strain, reinforcing broader concerns that the plan is
structurally inadequate. Their support for the appeal underscores
growing dissatisfaction with a process they say has fallen far
short of meeting the organization’s obligations to abuse
survivors.
About Boy Scouts of America

federally chartered non-profit corporation under title 36 of the
United States Code. Founded in 1910 and chartered by an act of

The Boy Scouts of America and affiliate Delaware BSA, LLC, sought
Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case No. 20-10343) on
Feb. 18, 2020, to deal with sexual abuse claims.
Boy Scouts of America was estimated to have $1 billion to $10
billion in assets and at least $500 million in liabilities as of
the bankruptcy filing.
The Debtors have tapped Sidley Austin LLP as their bankruptcy
counsel, Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell LLP as Delaware counsel,
and Alvarez & Marsal North America, LLC, as financial advisor. Omni
Agent Solutions is the claims agent.

and an unsecured creditors' committee on March 5, 2020. The tort
claimants' committee is represented by Pachulski Stang Ziehl &
Jones, LLP, while the unsecured creditors' committee is represented
by Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel, LLP.

Amended Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization (with Technical
Modifications) on September 8, 2022. The Order was affirmed on

BUILT SOLID: Gets Interim OK to Use $687K in Cash Collateral
------------------------------------------------------------
Built Solid Renovations, LLC received interim approval from the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan,
Southern District, to use cash collateral.
The court determined that continued access to cash collateral is
necessary to preserve and liquidate the Debtor's assets and
maintain its operations.
In its interim order, the court authorized the Debtor to use up to
$687,048 in cash collateral through December 13 consistent with its
budget, subject to a 20% variance per line item.
The order is available at https://is.gd/bDDPSK from
PacerMonitor.com.
A final in-person hearing is scheduled for December 10. If no
objections are filed, the interim order becomes final
automatically.
As of the petition date, cash collateral consists of approximately
$17,803 in cash, $140,611 in accounts receivable, and no
inventory.
Built Solid Renovations has substantial secured obligations,
including two SBA loans totaling over $2.8 million, each secured by
blanket liens on all assets and personally guaranteed by Levi
Moore, the company president; a $1.8 million Newtek loan secured by
all assets and further collateralized by mortgages on Mr. Moore's
residential properties and multiple affiliated-entity guarantees;
and a series of equipment loans from Ally Bank, CIT Bank, Ford
Motor Credit, and Wells Fargo Bank secured by various trucks and
Bobcat machinery.
The Debtor's bankruptcy was precipitated by a bank-account
garnishment on October 27, which removed $18,000 in operating
capital, and by its primary supplier placing it on COD terms,
severely constraining operations. Its financial distress stems from
rapid growth during the COVID-19 pandemic when annual sales surged
from $7.5 million in 2020 to $13 million in 2022, followed by an
equally rapid decline to $6.2 million in 2024.
During the boom period, material shortages, labor scarcity, and
price inflation caused long delays between quoting and completing
jobs, resulting in over $20 million in unprofitable fixed-price
contracts. The Debtor expanded staffing and costs to meet the surge
but failed to downsize quickly when revenues fell, leading to
substantial operating losses. Although it has now significantly
reduced overhead and expects roughly $3 million in revenue for
2025, the Debtor cannot regain sustainable profitability without
restructuring its overwhelming debt.

the Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. E.D. Mich. Case No. 25-51258) on

CLUB CAR: S&P Downgrades ICR to 'CCC+', Outlook Negative
--------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings lowered its rating on specialty vehicles
manufacturer Club Car LLC to 'CCC+' from 'B-', with a negative
outlook. S&P also lowered its issue-level rating on its first-lien
term loan to 'CCC+' and our issue level rating on its senior
unsecured notes to 'CCC-'.
S&P said, "The negative rating outlook reflects Club Car's very
high leverage and modest negative free operating cash flow (FOCF)
over the next 12 months. We could lower the ratings if we believe
the company's liquidity deteriorates causing a near-term liquidity
crisis such that we believe a payment default or distressed
exchange is likely over the next 12 months."
Club Car LLC has underperformed its prior expectations, largely due
to a slower recovery in its consumer segment, headwinds in its
commercial segment due to macroeconomic uncertainty, and tariff
headwinds on its supply chain.
S&P said, "Given our expectations for a slower recovery in
operations, we expect Club Car's credit metrics will remain weak in
2025 and 2026 as the company works down a buildup of used
inventory, which is straining working capital and the annualized
effect of tariffs. If operating performance doesn't improve
materially over the next two years, this could impair its ability
to refinance its debt maturing in 2028.
"The downgrade reflects our view that Club Car is dependent on
favorable operating performance and financing conditions to service
its capital structure. This stems from weaker-than-expected
operating performance in 2025 as the company faced a difficult
revenue comparison to a max production environment in its golf
segment in the first half of 2024, and a decline in demand in its
commercial segment amid an uncertain macroeconomic environment. In
addition, we now expect the consumer segment will take longer to
recover significant lost market share to low-cost Chinese
alternatives. Despite favorable outcomes in countervailing duties
and anti-dumping tariffs on Chinese competitors announced by the
ICC in July 2025, the consumer market is still over saturated with
inventory of cheaper Chinese carts. We expect the effect of
anti-dumping tariffs will begin to normalize the market sometime in
2026. However, a full recovery in this segment faces uncertainty
given price-conscious consumers may further delay big-ticket
leisure purhcases such as golf carts.
"We now expect revenues for the full year to decrease by 0%-5% and
for margins to contract by about 50-100 basis points (bps) due to
headwinds from tariffs and lower operating leverage. In addition,
the company is also working through a large backlog of used
inventory built up over the past there years, straining working
capital and depressing cash flows; we expect this will result in
negative FOCF in 2025 that will persist into 2026. We expect EBITDA
margins to be roughly flat in 2026 as the company reduces
headcount, works to lower cost through alternative sourcing, and
plant optimizations partially offset the full-year effect of
tariffs in 2026. This results in S&P Global Ratings lease-adjusted
leverage of about 10-11x and S&P Global Ratings-adjusted EBITDA
coverage of interest expense just above 1x in 2025 and in 2026.
"Although we don't forecast a near-term liquidity shortfall given
the adequate availability under its $175 million asset-based
lending (ABL) facility, the company faces refinancing risks over
the next several years. If the company is unable to improve
operations significantly in the second half of 2026 and into 2027,
the company's weak cash flows and limited EBITDA coverage of
interest expense could challenge the company's ability to refinance
its term loans due in 2028.
"We believe golf demand will remain steady through 2026 and
possibly provide a material uplift in 2027. Club Car's golf segment
accounted for roughly half of revenues in 2024. Golf demand in
terms of rounds played remained robust in 2025, according to the
National Golf Foundation and Golf Datatech, with rounds played up
1.4% through September. In addition, participation is at record
levels, with 47 million people in the U.S participating in the
sport in 2024. We believe the sport will remain healthy and that
these elevated playing levels are plausible given the positive
tailwinds in golf's popularity and participation, which should
translate to continued good use of golf carts. The company's golf
segment has declined through the first three quarters of 2025 due
to a return to seasonality and coming off max production for most
of 2024. We believe Club Car's golf segment will remain steady
through 2026 as the company benefits from good demand for golf and
its status as a premium brand in the golf community. However, we
expect the first half of 2026 to be flat to down slightly due to an
expected lighter lease renewal cycle in the first half of the year.
Beginning late 2026 and into 2027, we expect the possibility of a
material uplift in revenues as the company starts to renew a large
quantity of leases, which could lead to good topline growth."
Input prices and supply chain remain key risks. Club Car's
manufacturing relies on raw materials, including steel, aluminum,
lithium, lead, and rubber--the prices of which can fluctuate over
time. Volatility in commodity prices for raw material inputs and
the inability to pass these costs fully through to customers are
key risks for Club Car. In the past, the company mitigated these
risks with product surcharges. S&P said, "While we expect it could
increase product prices to partially offset potential inflationary
or tariff-induced pressures in raw materials, we expect gross
margin will be suppressed through 2026 as the company works through
high tariff costs and alternative sourcing of raw materials. Due to
the complexity of Club Car's products and its reputation as a
high-quality offering, we expect any alternative sourcing could
take up to 12-18 months to pass quality control checks and be fully
implemented into its supply chain."
Club Car sells its products primarily through independent
distributors, which creates some barriers to entry. S&P said, "We
believe Club Car's well-established global distribution channels
create some barriers to entry. The company primarily sells its
products in the U.S., and although we believe international sales
have increased due to the integration of Garia, they will remain a
relatively small portion of total sales. The company assembles and
ships most of its vehicles at two manufacturing facilities and one
distribution plant in Georgia, which we believe involves some
concentration risk."
Club Car has a solid market position and long-standing reputation
as a premium manufacturer in the golf cart industry, where it
primarily competes against E-Z-GO and Yamaha. In 2024, the
company's sales to golf course operators accounted for about half
of its new cart sales. Although S&P views Club Car's end markets as
relatively cyclical, with demand tied to consumer discretionary
spending, spending on golf has remained resilient from its COVID-19
pandemic highs, with sustained elevated participation rates and
favorable income demographics of its participants. In addition,
Club Car often leases golf carts to course operators, typically for
a period of four to five years, which provides some visibility into
its future sales based on its fleet renewal and replacement cycles.
Following the expiration of its leases, Club Car has the option to
resell the used carts, which it often offers to its retail and
commercial customers.
S&P said, "The negative outlook reflects Club Car's very high
leverage and modest negative FOCF over the next 12 months. We could
lower the ratings if we believe the company's liquidity
deteriorates causing a near-term liquidity crisis such that we
believe a payment default or distressed exchange is likely over the
next 12 months. This could occur if Club Car is unable to
successfully mitigate the costs of tariffs and improve its supply
chain and is unable to regain market share in its consumer segment
and maintain its solid market position in its golf segment.
"We could lower the rating to 'CCC' if Club Car faces a near-term
liquidity crisis, such that we believe a payment default or
distressed exchange is likely over the next 12 months. This could
occur if economic and competitive pressures cause Club Car to
underperform our base-case assumptions.
"We could raise the rating to 'B-' over the next 12 months if Club
Car's credit measures improve such that we believe it will be able
to successfully refinance its capital structure, incorporating
operating volatility and development risks. This could occur if
operations in Club Car outperform our base-case forecast, such that
leverage declines and it sustains positive FOCF, allowing the
company to repay some of its outstanding ABL balance."
CONCORDE METRO: To Sell Bayamon Property to MDD Child Neurology
---------------------------------------------------------------
Concorde Metro Seguros LLC seeks permission from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Puerto Rico to sell Property,
free and clear of liens, claims, interests, and encumbrances.
The Debtor employs Christiansen Real Estate, Inc., d/b/a
Christiansen Commercial, as exclusive sales agent for the Debtor's
commercial office condominium units.
The Debtor's Property is a certain commercial office condominium
unit designated as Suite A-102, located within the Metro Medical
Center building, Bayamon, Puerto Rico, containing approximately
1,983 square feet, together with all appurtenant rights and
improvements, as more particularly described in Exhibit A.
https://urlcurt.com/u?l=GrAvyt
The Property was registered in favor of Concorde Metro Seguros,
LLC, which acquired it by Purchase and Sale by Deed Number 63
executed in San Juan on December 31, 2015, before Notary Public
Ricardo O. Melendez Sauri.
The Property is subject to liens and encumbrances, including a
Mortgage in favor
of Banco Popular de Puerto Rico (BPPR).
The Debtor receives a private offer from MDD Child Neurology LLC
(now the newly formed entity CZV Med Group LLC), a Puerto Rico
limited liability company.
Once the Court approves the private sale, the Debtor will
coordinate with the
Buyer for the closing of said transaction and with BPPR for the
partial release of Suite A-102 from the existing lien. The net
proceeds from the sale, unless otherwise agreed in writing between
the Debtor and BPPR, shall be paid to BPPR and applied toward
reduction of the mortgage debt secured by the Property.
The purchase price of the Property is $120,00. The Purchaser is
assignee CZV Med Group LLC, a Puerto Rico limited liability company
and the closing date will be on before December 19, 2025.
The Debtor has obtained recent comparable sales data from
Christiansen Commercial, the
Court-approved broker, for office condominium units within the
Metro Medical Center complex to establish the fair market value of
the Property.
The Seller shall bear the cost of the internal revenue stamps
required for the execution of the original deed. Buyer shall pay
the costs of rights, fees, and stamps on certified copies of the
deed for registration in the Property Registry of Puerto Rico, as
well as the statutorily applicable notarial tariff, and shall
select the notary. Each party shall bear its own legal fees and
expenses in connection with this transaction.
Within the Debtor's business judgment, it believes that the sale of
the subject property is in the best interest of the estate and its
creditors.

DARKPULSE INC: Reports $471,284 Net Loss in 2025 Q3
---------------------------------------------------
DarkPulse, Inc. filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reporting a net loss
of $471,284 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared
to a net loss of $587,043 for the three months ended September 30,
2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reported
a net loss of $1,504,701, compared to a net loss of $3,540,148 for
the same period in 2024.
Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and
2024, were $32,206 and $30,671, respectively. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had total revenues
of $224,137 and $55,839, respectively.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company's current liabilities
exceeded its current assets by $18,517,073 and had an accumulated
deficit of $72,752,633. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had
$44,499 of cash.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $2,033,461 in total
assets, $20,262,215 in total liabilities, and $18,228,754 in total
stockholders' deficit.
The Company will require additional funding during the next 12
months to finance the growth of its current operations and achieve
its strategic objectives. These factors, as well as the uncertain
conditions that the Company faces relative to capital raising
activities, create substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. T
The Company is seeking to raise additional capital principally
through private placement offerings and is targeting strategic
partners in an effort to finalize the development of its products
and begin generating revenues.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is
dependent upon the success of future capital offerings or
alternative financing arrangements or expansion of its operations.
Management is actively pursuing additional sources of financing
sufficient to generate enough cash flow to fund its operations for
twelve months from the issuance date of these consolidated
financial statements. However, management cannot make any
assurances that such financing will be secured.

About DarkPulse Inc.
Houston, Texas-based DarkPulse, Inc. is a technology-security
company incorporated in 1989 as Klever Marketing, Inc. Its
wholly-owned subsidiary, DarkPulse Technologies Inc., originally
started as a technology spinout from the University of New
Brunswick, Fredericton, Canada. The Company's security and
monitoring systems will initially be delivered in applications for
border security, pipelines, the oil and gas industry, and mine
safety. Current uses of fiber optic distributed sensor technology
have been limited to quasi-static, long-term structural health
monitoring due to the time required to obtain the data and its poor
precision. The Company's patented BOTDA dark-pulse sensor
technology allows for the monitoring of highly dynamic environments
due to its greater resolution and accuracy.
Lagos, Nigeria-based Boladale Lawal & Co., the Company's auditor
since 2024, issued a "going concern" qualification in its report
dated April 14, 2025, attached to the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, citing that the
Company suffered an accumulated deficit of $71,259,677, net loss of
$3,893,859 and a negative working capital of $17,160,706. The
Company is dependent on obtaining additional working capital
funding from the sale of equity and/or debt securities to execute
its plans and continue operations. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $2,033,461 in total
assets, $20,262,215 in total liabilities, and $18,228,754 in total

-----------------------------------------------------
Rick Archer of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that a
California bankruptcy judge ordered the Roman Catholic Diocese of
Oakland to produce a settlement term sheet by November 26 evening,
signaling that the Chapter 11 case cannot continue without a clear
path toward resolving childhood sexual abuse claims. The judge
stressed the need for urgency after extensive but slow-moving
discussions.
The diocese and claimants have been negotiating a settlement that
would fund a trust to compensate survivors and allow the
reorganization to proceed. The court's deadline is intended to
accelerate those talks and ensure that the case continues toward
resolution, the report states.

DOOR COUNTY: Amends Unsecured Claims Pay Details
------------------------------------------------
Nacelle Logistics, LLC and Nacelle Biogas Equipment Funding 2019,
LLC (collectively "Nacelle"), creditors of Door County
Environmental Energy LLC, submitted a Second Combined Alternative
Plan of Reorganization and Disclosure Statement for the Debtor
dated November 19, 2025.
Nacelle proposes an alternative plan that it believes ensures
financial stability and future growth that will avoid necessity of
another bankruptcy proceeding or liquidation of the Debtor's
assets.
Nacelle proposes that Avolta Renewables Holdings, LLC ("ARH") form
a special purpose entity ("ARH SPE") to operate the Digester and
fund its operation and make payments to the unsecured creditors and
GAB by making an initial investment of $3.25 million.
Under this alternative Plan, the ARH SPE would immediately repay at
least 25% of unsecured debt, and 50% of GAB's secured debt, with
full repayment of most creditors within five years of ARH SPE
recovering 175% ($5,687,500) of its initial investment (the "ARH
SPE Return Date"). Because Nacelle's equipment will remain in
place, as opposed to Debtor's plan, there will be no project
downtime or major new investment required.
After reaching the ARH SPE Return Date, all future cash flows will
be divided among the remaining stakeholders (including ARH SPE),
and the balance of each claim will be paid out at a rate equal to
their pro rata share of total claim amounts then remaining. Under
the Nacelle Plan, most creditors are projected to receive up to
110% of their respective claims, after the initial payment at
confirmation, within five years of the ARH SPE Return Date. These
amounts are based on pricing projections from Stratas Advisors, a
third-party market research firm.
Class 3 consists of the Unsecured Claims of Nacelle and Foxland.
Class 3 consists of the general unsecured claims of Nacelle in the
amount of $1,914,974 ("Nacelle Claim") and Foxland, in the amount
of $542,321 ("Foxland Claim"). These Claims shall be paid as
follows: 25% of each claimant's then outstanding claim amount paid
upon the effective date of the Plan.
The balance of each claim to be paid upon the ARH SPE Return Date,
after which the balance of these claims will be paid as follows:
20.5% of the available quarterly cash flow (net operating expenses)
will be paid on the Nacelle Claim, and 6.6% of the available
quarterly cash flow (net operating expenses) will be paid on the
Foxland Claim, with the first payments being made within 30 days of
the end of the fiscal quarter that the ARH SPE Return Date occurs.
ARH SPE will provide notice to Nacelle and Foxland of the ARH SPE
Return Date within 30 days of its occurrence and thereafter will
continue to make payments within 30 days of the end of each fiscal
quarter until 110% of the balance of the Nacelle and Foxland Claims
are paid. As modeled using the Stratas pricing curve to forecast
environmental attribute prices, this would occur within five years
of the ARH SPE Return Date.
To effectuate the proposed Nacelle Plan, the Digester shall
continue operating. ARH SPE will utilize profits, revenues, and
income from its operations, and cash on hand on the effective date
to fund the proposed Nacelle Plan. In addition, ARH will inject
$3.25 million, which will be used to make payments to creditors at
confirmation, keep the business solvent, and fund business
operations and potential investments, ultimately aiming to improve
the debtor's financial stability and its ability to repay its
creditors.

Statement dated November 19, 2025 is available at

E&M BINDERY: To Sell Bindery Business to Bind-Rite for $567K
------------------------------------------------------------
E&M Bindery, Inc., seeks permission from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the District of New Jersey to sell Assets, free and clear of
liens, claims, interests, and encumbrances.
The Debtor is a New Jersey corporation that maintains a principal
place of business at 11 Peekay Drive, Clifton, New Jersey 07014,
operating a bindery.
The Debtor's sole shareholder is Gary Markovits, who manages the
Debtor's daily operations. The Debtor employs approximately 70 full
time salaried employees and five hourly employees.
The Debtor's business has been negatively impacted by the
digitization of books, magazines, periodicals, pamphlets and other
written materials. Digitization has reduced the amount of such
products that require cutting, trimming, binding, and related
services. As a result, industries such as binders, printers and
paper mills have experienced reduced sales.
The Debtor's sales have decreased to the point where continuing
profitable operations are no longer viable long term.
The Debtor's assets are cash on deposit in the amount of
approximately $60,000, accounts receivable in the amount of
approximately $1.1 million dollars, and machinery equipment having
an appraised orderly liquidation value of approximately $1.4
million dollars.
The Debtor owns inventory having an estimated value of $20,000;
computer equipment consisting of approximately 12 desktops valued
at $7,000 and a security deposit of nearly %50,000 held by
Landlord.
The Debtor owes approximately $807,000 to Milberg Factors Inc.
Certain pieces of Debtor's machinery and equipment are subject to
lease agreements having an estimated balance due in the aggregate
amount of $210,000.
The Debtor leases its business premises from Landlord. There are
arrears due to Landlord in the amount approximately $300,000. The
Landlord has instituted an eviction action which is scheduled for
trial on December 15, 2025.
The Debtor's general unsecured creditor body consists of
approximately $1.4 million dollars.
The Debtor anticipates continuing to operate its business in the
ordinary course pending the orderly liquidation of its assets.
The Debtor wants to sell the Assets to Bind-Rite Services, Inc. in
the purchase price of $567,000. The Buyer is expected to tender a
deposit of $56,700 as down payment upon the purchase price upon
execution of a final, sale contract.
In addition, some of the Assets are subject to lease agreements
which have an estimated payoff amount of $108,000. The Debtor is
negotiating with several lessors in an effort to obtain discounted
payoff agreements.
The Debtor intends to remit a ten percent commission to MidAmerica
Equipment Solutions, LLC and remit payments to several equipment
lessors that own equipment that is part of the sale an agreed
amount in full satisfaction of their claims.
The Debtor seeks to remit 90% of the net sale proceeds to Milberg
Factors and an escrow of ten 10% of the net sale proceeds in the
attorney trust account of Scarinci Hollenbeck LLC for purposes of
compensating professional fees incurred.
The sale price of $567,000 will be reduced by approximately
$108,000 due upon leases of some of the equipment and further
reduced by broker's requested 10% commission. The net proceeds are
projected to be $401,000.
Gary Makovits, Debtor's sole shareholder, will be employed by
buyer. Mr. Markovits compensation will consist of a draw against
commission of $3,500/week, a sales commission of 6% of all sales
generated by Mr. Markovitz's effort, health insurance coverage, and
a $1,700/month travel and entertainment budget and a signing
payment of $50,000 payable upon closing upon the sale.

EAGLE FENCE: Gets Interim OK to Use Cash Collateral
---------------------------------------------------
Eagle Fence and Iron Work, LLC got the green light from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Louisiana, Shreveport
Division, to use cash collateral to fund the operation of its metal
fabrication and construction business in Shreveport.
The court authorized the Debtor's interim use of cash collateral
from November 25 until entry of a final order in accordance with
its six-month operating budget.
As adequate protection for any interest in cash collateral held by
the U.S. Small Business Administration, TruFund Financial Services,
iBusiness Funding, and Capitalize Group LLC, the Debtor will grant
these secured creditors a replacement lien on post-petition
property that is similar to their pre-bankruptcy collateral.
The replacement liens also apply to proceeds, products, and profits
generated from the Debtor's use of cash collateral. Moreover, these
liens will have the same validity, extent, and priority as the
secured creditors' pre-bankruptcy liens.
The order is available at https://is.gd/BSk8jG from
PacerMonitor.com.
The final hearing is scheduled for December 3.
The Debtor believes these creditors may claim an interest in the
cash collateral: (i) the SBA, which holds a first priority blanket
lien securing a claim of $874,800 with only $128,099 in collateral
value; (ii) TruFund Financial Services, which asserts a second
priority lien but effectively unsecured due to the SBA's senior
position; and (iii) iBusiness Funding and Capitalize Group LLC,
which asserts third and fourth position liens respectively, both
likewise unsecured because all collateral value is exhausted by the
senior SBA lien.
Each of these creditors holds claims designated as contingent,
unliquidated, and disputed, and the Debtor has been unable to make
contact with any of them, meaning none has consented or objected to
the use of cash collateral.

that it is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the

EVOFEM BIOSCIENCES: Reports $1.6MM Net Loss in 2025 Q3
------------------------------------------------------
Evofem Biosciences, Inc. filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reporting a
net loss of $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30,
2025, compared to a net loss of $2.4 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reported
a net loss of $2.4 million, compared to a net loss of $5.8 million
for the same period in 2024.
Product sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and
2024, were $5 million and $4.5 million, respectively. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had total
revenues of $10.6 million and $12.3 million, respectively.
"Sales rebounded in the third quarter and were 10% higher than the
same quarter last year, reflecting the joint effort of our sales
team combined with our smart, provocative social media initiatives
and the great press coverage we garnered this summer," said Saundra
Pelletier, CEO of Evofem Biosciences.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $13.8 million in total
assets, $83.9 million in total liabilities, $4.9 million in
convertible and redeemable preferred stock, and $75.1 million in
total stockholders' deficit.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had a working capital deficit
of $70.3 million and an accumulated deficit of $900.2 million.
Evofem has financed its operations to date primarily through the
issuance of preferred stock, Common Stock, warrants and convertible
and term notes; cash received from private placement transactions;
and, to a lesser extent, product sales.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had approximately $0.8
million in cash and cash equivalents, all of which is restricted
cash available for use as prescribed in the Adjuvant Notes. Cash
and cash equivalents include amounts held in checking accounts.
Management believes that the Company's cash and cash equivalents as
of September 30, 2025 are insufficient to fund operations for at
least the next 12 months from November 13, 2025, the date on which
the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is filed with the SEC.
Evofem said, "We have incurred losses and negative cash flows from
operating activities since inception. In 2024, we focused on
further improving and increasing PHEXX access, acquired global
rights to SOLOSEC, and delivered our fourth consecutive year of
PHEXX net sales growth. In 2025, we continue to focus on top-line
growth while maintaining a lean operating structure. We will
continue to explore opportunities for organic growth, entry into
new markets including those covered by our license and supply
agreements with Pharma 1, and potential expansion of our product
offerings beyond PHEXX and SOLOSEC."
"As of September 30, 2025, the Company's significant commitments
include the Baker Notes, Adjuvant Notes, SSNs, and Aditxt Notes . .
. and fleet leases, SOLOSEC contingent liability, and the potential
settlement amount with TherapeuticsMD . . . . The purpose of these
commitments is to further the commercialization of PHEXX and
SOLOSEC.
"Management's plans to meet the Company's cash flow needs in the
next 12 months include generating revenue from the sale of PHEXX
and SOLOSEC, further restructuring of the Company's current
payables, and obtaining additional funding through means such as
the issuance of its capital stock, non-dilutive or dilutive
financings, or through collaborations or partnerships with other
companies, including license agreements for PHEXX and/or SOLOSEC in
the U.S. or foreign markets, or other potential business
combinations."
If the Company is not able to obtain the required funding through a
significant increase in revenue, equity or debt financings, license
agreements for our products in the U.S. or foreign markets, or
other means, or is unable to obtain funding on terms favorable to
the Company, there will be a material adverse effect on
commercialization and development operations and the Company's
ability to execute its strategic development plan for future
growth.
If the Company cannot successfully raise additional funding and
implement its strategic development plan, the Company may be forced
to make further reductions in spending, including spending in
connection with its commercialization activities, extend payment
terms with suppliers, liquidate assets where possible at a
potentially lower amount than as recorded in the condensed
consolidated financial statements, suspend, or curtail planned
operations, or cease operations entirely.
Any of these could materially and adversely affect the Company's
liquidity, financial condition and business prospects, and the
Company would not be able to continue as a going concern.
The Company has concluded that these circumstances and the
uncertainties associated with the Company's ability to obtain
additional equity or debt financing on terms that are favorable to
the Company, or at all, and otherwise succeed in its future
operations raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern.
"If we are unable to continue as a going concern, we may have to
liquidate our assets and, in doing so, we may receive less than the
value at which those assets are carried on our condensed
consolidated financial statements. Any of these developments would
materially and adversely affect the price of our stock and the
value of an investment in our stock. As a result, our condensed
consolidated financial statements include explanatory disclosures
expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a
going concern."
The Company expects future equity-based compensation expense to
increase following stockholder approval of the 2025 Equity
Incentive Plan, which authorizes up to 50 million additional
shares.

The firm will render these services:
a. review and analyze the Debtors' assets and liabilities and
the operating and financial strategies of the Debtors;

alternatives;
e. assist the Debtors in raising debt or equity financing,
including developing marketing materials, creating and maintaining
a data room and contact log, initiating contact with potential
capital providers and running the process for a New Capital Raise;
f. assist the Debtors in M&A Transaction related activities,
including developing marketing materials, creating and maintaining
a data room and contact log and initiating and managing contact
with interested buyers throughout the process;
g. assist the Debtors and its other professionals in reviewing
the terms of any proposed M&A Transaction and/or New Capital Raise
(whether proposed by the Debtors or by a third party), in
responding thereto and, if directed, in evaluating alternative
proposals for a M&A Transaction and/or New Capital Raise, as
applicable;
h. advise the Debtors with respect to, and attend, meetings of
the Debtors' board of directors, creditor groups and other
interested parties, as reasonably requested; and
i. render such other financial advisory and investment banking
services as may be agreed upon by Piper Sandler and the Debtors.
The firm will receive these fees:
a. Monthly Fee. Commencing as of the date hereof, whether or not a
transaction is proposed or consummated, an advisory fee (a "Monthly
Fee") of $150,000 per month. The initial Monthly Fee shall be
pro-rated based on the commencement of services as of the date
hereof through to the end of the calendar month. One third (1/3) of
each Monthly Fee shall be payable in cash and the remaining two
thirds (2/3) of each Monthly Fee shall be payable in cash upon the
earlier of (i) consummation of any M&A Transaction or New Capital
Raise and (ii) the Debtors' emergency from the Bankruptcy Cases.
The cash portion of the first full two Monthly Fees shall be
payable by the Debtors upon the execution of this Agreement by the
Debtors, and thereafter the cash portion of the Monthly Fee shall
be payable by the Debtors in advance on the first day of each
month.
b. A fee (an "M&A Fee") of $2,500,000, plus an additional 2.5%
applicable to values of Aggregate Consideration (as defined below)
above $90,000,000, payable upon the closing of each M&A
Transaction. The term "Aggregate Consideration" shall mean the
total amount of all cash plus the total value (as determined
pursuant hereto) of all securities, contractual arrangements
(including, without limitation, any lease arrangements or put or
call agreements) and other consideration, including, without
limitation, any contingent, escrowed or earned consideration, paid
or payable, directly or indirectly, in connection with an M&A
Transaction (including, without limitation, amounts paid (i)
pursuant to covenants not to compete, employment contracts,
employee benefit plans, management fees or other similar
arrangements, and (ii) to holders of any warrants, stock purchase
rights or convertible securities of the Debtors and to holders of
any options or stock appreciation rights issued by the Debtors,
whether or not vested).
Aggregate Consideration shall also include the amount of any
short-term liabilities and any long-term liabilities of the Debtors
(including, without limitation, the principal amount of any
indebtedness for borrowed money, capitalized leases and the full
amount of any off-balance sheet financings) (x) assumed, repaid,
defeased or retired, directly or indirectly, in connection with or
in anticipation of an M&A Transaction or (y) existing on the
Debtors' balance sheet at the time of an M&A Transaction (if such
M&A Transaction takes the form of a merger, consolidation or a sale
of stock or partnership interests). For purposes of calculating the
amount of revolving credit debt in the preceding sentence, the
arithmetic mean of the amount of revolving credit debt outstanding
on the last day of each month during the 12 months preceding the
closing of the M&A Transaction will be used. In the event such M&A
Transaction takes the form of a sale of assets, Aggregate
Consideration shall include (i) the value of any current assets not
purchased, minus (ii) the value of any current liabilities not
assumed. In the event such M&A Transaction takes any other form,
Aggregate Consideration shall include the fair market value of (i)
the equity securities of the Debtors retained by the Debtors'
security holders following such M&A Transaction and (ii) any
securities received by the Debtors' security holders in exchange
for or in respect of securities of the Debtors following such M&A
Transaction (all securities received by such security holders being
deemed to have been paid to such security holders in such M&A
Transaction). The value of securities that are freely tradable in
an established public market will be determined on the basis of the
last market closing price prior to the consummation of an M&A
Transaction. The value of securities that are not freely tradable
or have no established public market, or if the consideration
consists of property other than securities, the value of such
property shall be the fair market value thereof as mutually
determined in good faith by Piper Sandler and the Debtors;
provided, however, that all debt securities shall be valued at
their stated principal amount without applying a discount thereto.
If the consideration to be paid is computed in any foreign
currency, the value of such foreign currency shall, for purposes
hereof, be converted into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange
rate on the date or dates on which such consideration is payable.
c. A new capital fee (each, a "New Capital Fee") equal to (i)
2.0% of the face amount of any senior secured Financing raised,
including, without limitation, any senior secured
debtor-in-possession financing raised; (ii) 3.0% of the face amount
of any junior secured or senior or subordinated unsecured Financing
raised and (iii) 5.0% in the case of any other Financing,
including, without limitation, equity or equity-linked Financing,
capital convertible into equity or hybrid capital raised,
including, without limitation, equity underlying any warrants,
purchase rights or similar contingent equity securities (each, a
"New Capital Raise"). The New Capital Fee shall be earned and
payable upon the earlier of execution of a commitment letter or
execution of a definitive agreement with respect to such Financing.
For the avoidance of doubt, (x) there may be multiple New Capital
Fees if there are multiple transactions by which the new capital is
committed, (y) the term "raised" shall include the amount committed
or otherwise made available to the Debtors whether or not such
amount (or any portion thereof) is drawn down at closing or is ever
drawn down and whether or not such amount (or any portion thereof)
is used to refinance existing obligations of the Debtors and (z),
the New Capital Fee relating to any warrants, purchase rights or
similar contingent equity securities shall be due and payable upon
the closing of the transaction by which such instruments are issued
and shall be calculated as if all such instruments are exercised in
full (and the full exercise price is paid in cash) on the date of
such closing, whether or not all or any portion of such instruments
are vested and whether or not such instruments are actually so
exercised. In addition, any Financing exclusively funded by
Graystreet Credit, LLC shall not trigger a New Capital Fee.
d. A milestone fee (each, a "Milestone Fee") payable subject
to the following milestones:
i. $500,000 payable upon commencement of a sale and/or new
capital raise process following Piper Sandler receiving a written
instruction by the Debtors;
ii. $500,000 payable upon receipt of one or more bona fide
written offer(s) or term sheet(s) from prospective buyers and/or
financing parties in connection with an M&A Transaction and/or New
Capital Raise; and
iii. $500,000 payable upon receipt of binding commitment
letter to pursue an M&A Transaction and/or New Capital Raise.
The Milestone Fee(s) earned by and paid to Piper Sandler shall be
fully (i.e., 100%) credited (without duplication) against any M&A
Fee or New Capital Fee (the "Milestone Fee Credit"), provided that
the Milestone Fee Credit shall not exceed the M&A Fee or New
Capital Fee.
e. A fee (each, a "Testimony Fee") of $1,000,000 for Piper
Sandler preparing to testify at deposition or trial or testifying
at deposition or trial or, if necessary, preparing any report in
connection therewith (the "Expert Report"), of which 50% shall be
payable upon delivery of a written request by the Debtors to Piper
Sandler that Piper Sandler begin preparation to testify (including
through deposition or live testimony (whether in person or via
telephonic or other remote appearance)) or that Piper Sandler begin
preparation of the Expert Report, and the remaining 50% shall be
payable upon the earlier of (i) the delivery of the Expert Report
by Piper Sandler to the Debtors and (ii) such testimony being given
(including through deposition or live testimony (whether in person
or via telephonic or other remote appearance)). The Testimony
Fee(s) earned by and paid to Piper Sandler shall be fully (i.e.,
100%) credited (without duplication) against any M&A Fee or New
Capital Fee (the "Testimony Fee Credit"), provided that the
Testimony Fee Credit shall not exceed the M&A Fee or New Capital
Fee.

FIRST BRANDS: Seeks Court Approval to Lend $45MM to Foreign Unit
----------------------------------------------------------------
Emily Lever of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that First
Brands Group asked a Texas federal judge to authorize a $45 million
Chapter 11 loan to one of its nonbankrupt foreign affiliates,
asserting that swift action is needed to stabilize the struggling
subsidiary. The company told the court that the affiliate is facing
a severe cash shortage and could tip into insolvency without access
to immediate funding.
According to First Brands, providing the financing is essential to
protecting the company's global supply chain and ensuring
continuity during its own bankruptcy proceedings. The automaker
argued that failing to support the affiliate now would create
financial and operational risks that could jeopardize its
restructuring.

FLUX POWER: Posts $2.6MM Loss in 2026 Q1, Lifts Going Concern Doubt
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Flux Power Holdings, Inc. filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reporting a
net loss of $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30,
2025, compared to a net loss of $1.7 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2024.
Revenue for the first fiscal quarter of 2026 was $13.2 million,
compared to $16.1 million in the first fiscal quarter of 2025.
Gross profit for the first fiscal quarter of 2026 was $3.8 million,
or 28.6% of revenue, compared to $5.2 million, or 32.4% of revenue,
in the first fiscal quarter of 2025.
Operating expenses for the first quarter were $5.9 million,
compared to $6.4 million in the prior year quarter.
Operating loss for the first quarter was $2.2 million, compared to
a loss of $1.2 million in the prior year quarter. Excluding costs
associated with the multi-year restatement of previously issued
financial statements and stock-based compensation, first quarter
non-GAAP operating loss was $2.0 million, compared to an operating
loss of $0.6 million in the prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter was ($1.7) million, compared
to ($0.4) million in the prior year period.
Cash as of September 30, 2025 was $1.6 million.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $29.7 million in total
assets, $33 million in total liabilities, and $3.3 million in total
stockholders' deficit.
Historically, the Company's revenues and operating cash flows have
not been sufficient to sustain its operations and the Company has
relied on debt and equity financing, including the Public Offering,
for additional funds.
The Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $108.9 million
through September 30, 2025, and, for the three months ended
September 30, 2025, incurred a net loss of $2.6 million and
generated cash flows from operations of $0.9 million. As of
September 30, 2025, the Company had a cash balance of $1.6 million
and $6.1 million of available funding under the Gibraltar Business
Capital Credit Facility.
In addition, the Company's ability to meet projected revenue
targets and generate cash from operations has been impacted by
delays in new orders for our energy storage solutions, reflecting
corresponding deferrals of new forklift purchases by selected large
customer fleets due to lower capital spending and interest rate
variability, and more recently, global tariff uncertainties.
The Company imports a portion of its raw materials and components
parts from other countries, including China. Recently, many of the
countries where the Company sources raw materials and component
parts have become subject to import tariffs upon entry into the
United States. The selling prices of the Company's finished
products are likely to increase if current or future tariffs remain
in effect, which may have a negative impact on the Company's
revenues and cash flows.
Management is evaluating strategies to improve profitability of
operations and to obtain additional funding. These steps include
actual and planned price increases for our energy storage
solutions, a number cost-saving initiatives including product cost
efficiencies and planned operating cost savings. The planned gross
margin improvement tasks include but are not limited to a plan to
drive bill of material costs down while increasing the selling
prices of our products for new orders.
The Company also continues to execute its cost reduction, sourcing
and pricing recovery initiatives in efforts to increase gross
margins and improve cash flow from operations.
Unforeseen factors beyond management's control, including economic
uncertainty and the impact of global tariff initiatives, could
potentially have a negative impact on the planned gross margin
improvement plan. However, there can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to realize the plans for improved operations.
The Company also disclosed that it completed a Private Placement of
prefunded preferred stock warrants and common stock warrants during
the current period and raised $3.2 million of cash proceeds, net of
offering costs, as shown on the Company's condensed consolidated
statements of cash flows for the three months ended September 30,
2025.
Subsequent to September 30, 2025, the Company received the final
$0.2 million of net proceeds from the Private Placement.
Additionally, in October 2025 the Company completed the Public
Offering of its common stock and raised $9.2 million in cash
proceeds, net of offering costs.
Irvine, California-based Haskell & White LLP, the Company's auditor
since 2025, previously issued a "going concern" qualification in
its report dated September 16, 2025, attached to the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025, citing
that the Company has recurring losses from operations, an
accumulated deficit, expects to incur losses for the foreseeable
future and requires additional working capital to achieve its
operating plans. These conditions previously raised substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Management has evaluated that as of November 13, 2025, the
Company's expected cash and working capital requirements, which
include but are not limited to investments in additional sales and
marketing, research and development and capital equipment, and
believes the Company's existing cash, including the net proceeds
from the Public Offering, and funding available under the GBC
Credit Facility, along with the forecasted gross margin, will be
sufficient to meet the Company's anticipated capital resources to
fund planned operations for the next 12 months.
CEO Commentary:
"First quarter revenue reflected a temporary pause in customer
orders due to the uncertainty surrounding the tariff situation and
overall near-term caution on the macroeconomic environment," said
Krishna Vanka, Flux Power's CEO. "That said, we have begun to see
order activity materially rebound in the second quarter,
highlighted by multi-million-dollar orders from significant
material handling customers and a more recent large order from a
major new airline customer. Flux Power now supplies eight major
North American airline carriers. We also continue to receive strong
interest in our SkyEMS SaaS software platform with the recent
production release of version 2.0 to a growing number of paying
customers.
"Additionally, we further strengthened our financial position and
balance sheet through a recent public equity offering and a prior
private placement during the quarter, which collectively raised
$13.8 million in proceeds net of underwriter's discount and
offering related expenses. This additional capital will be used for
working capital purposes, allowing us the flexibility to more
rapidly execute on our operating, sales and product development
initiatives as we pursue our ultimate goal of delivering sustained
profitability in the quarters ahead. Our strong portfolio of
advanced mobile energy storage products combined with our
integrated software solutions provide Flux Power significantly
expanded market opportunities with both new and existing customers
that will be key to driving our future growth and expansion."

FMC CORP: S&P Lowers ICR to 'BB+' on Continued Weak Credit Metrics
------------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings lowered its issuer credit ratings on FMC Corp.
to 'BB+' from 'BBB-'. At the same time, S&P lowered its issue-level
rating on unsecured debt to 'BB+' from 'BBB-'. S&P assigned a
recovery rating of '3' (rounded estimate: 65%).
S&P said, "We also lowered our short-term issue level ratings to
'B' from 'A-3' in line with the downgrade of the issuer credit
rating.
"The negative outlook reflects our belief that EBITDA will remain
under pressure through 2025 and into 2026 because of challenging
macroeconomic conditions, key patent expirations, competitive
pressures and soft pricing.
"We think that uncertainty around FMC Corp.'s 2026 EBITDA and
credit measures has increased and believe that credit metrics next
year will be weaker than our previous expectations despite
management's mitigation efforts.
"The downgrade follows FMC's continued weak credit metrics for an
investment-grade rating. Our ratings have been supported thus far
by expectations of future earnings and cashflow improvement, some
of which – such as our projected EBITDA for 2025 – are very
likely to be met. However, we revised lower our previous
expectations for a modest improvement in future performance beyond
2025, given unexpected company-specific setbacks to cash flow in
the third quarter of 2025 and our anticipation that uncertainty
related to FMC's 2026 performance has increased. We think the
operating environment in 2026 will remain challenging, and FMC's
ability to handle those challenges in a manner that grows earnings
will be tested. Ongoing challenges include aggressive pricing
pressure and heightened generic competition. Broader market
volatility, credit constraints in Latin America, and regulatory
setbacks compounded these issues.
"Our previous assumptions for modest growth in 2026 EBITDA assumed
a lower amount of restructuring costs (which we deduct from EBITDA)
and a relatively flat operating performance relative to 2025. We
now believe there is greater uncertainty around these assumptions
and are revising our 2026 EBITDA forecast to $850 million from $959
million.
"We anticipate FMC will face continued competitive pressure from
generics, particularly in Latin America and Asia, which may weigh
on pricing and margins. The expiration of FMC's Rynaxypyr
(chlorantraniliprole) patent represents a major financial risk, as
this diamide insecticide has historically been one of the company's
largest revenue contributors, accounting for 30%-40% of revenue in
2024. With core patents expiring across key markets by 2026, FMC
faces significant exposure to generic competition, particularly in
Asia and Latin America, where price erosion and volume declines are
expected.
Although FMC has implemented mitigation strategies, such as
securing long-term contracts, introducing new formulations, and
accelerating its innovation pipeline, we still estimate a sizeable
portion of revenue is at risk. This patent cliff underscores the
importance of FMC's diversification efforts and cost optimization
to preserve margins and sustain growth. While FMC's innovation
pipeline offers long-term potential, near-term performance will
hinge on disciplined cost control and successful navigation of
global agricultural market headwinds.
"Low visibility of near-term demand raises credit risks. Unexpected
setbacks to cash flow relative to our expectations in the third
quarter of 2025, combined with an unpredictable short-term demand
outlook, create uncertainty about an immediate earnings recovery
over the next year. We think the absence of a very near-term
improvement in EBITDA could raise credit risks slightly when
working capital requirements will likely rise in the first quarter
of 2026. We expect FFO to total debt will be at the low end of
12%-20% at year-end 2025, which we consider weak at the current
rating. In 2026, we think this ratio will be around the mid-teens
percent on a three-year weighted average basis considering a slight
reduction in net debt."
Despite current market conditions, FMC continues to benefit from
favorable long-term fundamentals. There has not been a fundamental
change in demand for the company's products or its market position.
S&P said, "This reflects our view that the current demand downturn
doesn't speak to a decline in the underlying need for FMC's crop
protection chemicals or a reduction in its competitiveness. We
expect the demand for the company's products will eventually return
to normal levels, which will improve earnings. Specifically, we
believe the need to maintain or improve farm yields across the
world in the face of a growing population and the declining
availability of arable land will continue to support rising demand
for FMC's products." The U.S Department of Agriculture projects
coarse grain production at 1,547 million metric tons, with global
rice output of over 550 million metric tons in 2025.
In spite of credit metrics at the weaker end of S&P's target for
the rating through 2025, S&P believes management will maintain
supportive financial policies. FMC's management has displayed
financial prudence in the face of its weaker earnings over the past
few years. In response to its soft earnings, the company launched a
cost-saving program to optimize its footprint and right size its
cost base, likely by end of 2025.
FMC also reduced its dividend by $250 million on a yearly basis in
the third quarter of 2025 and halted its share repurchases until
the fourth quarter of 2027 to help it maintain its credit metrics.
In addition, FMC's recent hybrid issuance supported its credit
quality, as the transaction extended near-term maturities and
modestly reduced leverage. These actions showcase management's
commitment to maintaining a prudent financial policy, and S&P
expects it will continue to undertake such actions in the event of
further downturns.
S&P said, "The negative outlook reflects the chance we will
downgrade FMC within the next few quarters if its credit metrics
are weaker than we expect. Our base-case forecast assumes a
three-year weighted-average FFO to total debt between 12% and 20%.
We anticipate the company's 2025 credit metrics will be weak for
the rating, though we expect marginal improvement to the mid-teens
percent in 2026 and beyond. The negative outlook also reflects
FMC's large near-term debt maturities; however, we believe it has
adequate liquidity to meet these and other requirements.
"Beyond 2025, we continue to expect gradual improvement in credit
measures, primarily because of new product introductions and
cross-selling opportunities. Due to its new, higher-margin product
introductions and the essential nature of many of its products to
farmers, we expect FMC will maintain strong EBITDA margins around
20% over at least the next year. We also believe the company's
financial policies will remain commensurate with the rating.
"We could lower our ratings on FMC in the next couple of quarters
if its operating performance weakens beyond our expectations into
2026 or we believe key products coming off patent will hinder
earnings. Under these downside scenarios, we would expect
weighted-average FFO to debt to drop below 12% with no near-term
remedy."
Furthermore, S&P could take a negative rating action on the company
if:
-- Contrary to our expectations, it is unable to refinance its
debt in a timely manner or proactively obtain covenant relief if
required; or
-- It significantly increases its debt leverage to fund an
acquisition or complete a share repurchase program in a manner that
slows the improvement in its metrics relative to S&P's
expectations.
S&P said, "We could revise our outlook on FMC to stable in the next
year if it experiences a larger-than-expected pickup in demand, due
to a sustained improvement in the agriculture market, and
successfully meets its near-term maturities.
"We could also take a positive rating action if the company's cash
flow improves beyond our expectations, resulting in stronger credit
metrics. Under this scenario, we anticipate credit metrics would
improve faster than we expect, including FFO to total debt of
mid-teens percent or above on a last-12-months basis."

FTX TRADING: Judge Dismisses Over $15MM Fraudulent Loan Claims
--------------------------------------------------------------
Rick Archer of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that a Delaware
bankruptcy judge on Monday, November 24, 2025, dismissed just over
$15 million in claims against the FTX wind-down trust after trust
counsel alleged that the claimants submitted forged documents to
support their assertions that they had loaned money to an FTX
affiliate. The court agreed that the purported loan agreements and
related materials were fabricated, leaving the claims without any
credible basis.
The judge's ruling removes a significant portion of disputed
liabilities from the wind-down process and underscores the
heightened scrutiny applied to claims in the aftermath of FTX's
collapse. Trust counsel said the decision helps protect remaining
estate assets from fraudulent attempts at recovery, the report
states.
About FTX Trading Ltd.
FTX is the world's second-largest cryptocurrency firm. FTX is a
cryptocurrency exchange built by traders, for traders. FTX offers
innovative products including industry-first derivatives, options,
volatility products and leveraged tokens.
Then CEO and co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried said Nov. 10, 2022, that
FTX paused customer withdrawals after it was hit with roughly $5
billion worth of withdrawal requests.
Faced with liquidity issues, FTX on Nov. 9 struck a deal to sell
itself to its giant rival Binance, but Binance walked away from the
deal amid reports on FTX regarding mishandled customer funds and
alleged US agency investigations.
At 4:30 a.m. on Nov. 11, Bankman-Fried ultimately agreed to step
aside, and restructuring vet John J. Ray III was quickly named new
CEO.
FTX Trading Ltd (d/b/a FTX.com), West Realm Shires Services Inc.
(d/b/a FTX US), Alameda Research Ltd. and certain affiliated
companies then commenced Chapter 11 proceedings (Bankr. D. Del.
Lead Case No. 22-11068) on an emergency basis on Nov. 11, 2022.
Additional entities sought Chapter 11 protection on Nov. 14, 2022.
FTX Trading and its affiliates each listed $10 billion to $50
million in assets and liabilities, making FTX the biggest
bankruptcy filer in the US this year. According to Reuters, SBF
shared a document with investors on Nov. 10 showing FTX had $13.86
billion in liabilities and $14.6 billion in assets. However, only
$900 million of those assets were liquid, leading to the cash
crunch that ended with the company filing for bankruptcy.
The Hon. John T. Dorsey is the case judge.
The Debtors tapped Sullivan & Cromwell, LLP as bankruptcy counsel;
Landis Rath & Cobb, LLP as local counsel; and Alvarez & Marsal
North America, LLC as financial advisor. Kroll is the claims agent,
maintaining the page https://cases.ra.kroll.com/FTX/Home-Index
The official committee of unsecured creditors tapped Paul Hastings
as bankruptcy counsel; Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor, LLP as
Delaware and conflicts counsel; FTI Consulting, Inc. as financial
advisor; and Jefferies, LLC as investment banker.
Montgomery McCracken Walker & Rhoads LLP, led by partners Gregory
T. Donilon, Edward L. Schnitzer, and David M. Banker, is
representing Sam Bankman-Fried in the Chapter 11 cases. White
collar crime specialist Mark S. Cohen has reportedly been hired to
represent SBF in litigation. Lawyers at Paul Weiss previously
represented SBF but later renounced representing the entrepreneur
due to a conflict of interest.
FXI HOLDINGS: S&P Downgrades ICR to 'D' on Distressed Exchange
--------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings lowered its issuer credit rating on FXI Holdings
Inc. to 'D' from 'CC'. At the same time, S&P lowered its
issue-level ratings on both of its 12.25% notes tranches to 'D'
from 'CC' and subsequently withdrew them.
FXI Holdings Inc., a U.S.-based producer of engineered polyurethane
foam solutions, completed the exchange of nearly all of its
outstanding senior notes due in November 2026 (two tranches) for
new debt maturing later.
S&P considers this transaction to be a distressed exchange for a
substantial portion of the company's debt and, therefore,
tantamount to a default.
The downgrade follows completion of FXI's distressed debt exchange.
The transaction closed on the same terms and conditions as
proposed. However, S&P notes that a small portion of participating
noteholders were not eligible for the early tender premium because
they did not meet the deadline. FXI exchanged about 99.8% of the
aggregate principal under its two 12.25% senior notes tranches due
in November 2026 with consenting noteholders for a combination of
newly issued notes including senior secured notes due in November
2030 and junior secured notes due in November 2029. The senior
secured notes carry an 11% coupon while the junior notes carry a
16% payment-in-kind coupon until November 2028 and a 14% cash
coupon thereafter until maturity.
As proposed, new 11% super-senior notes due in 2030 were also
issued to noteholders that were part of the initial transaction
support agreement. These noteholders also received a support fee in
the form of additional new senior secured notes. The maturity date
on the asset-based lending facility was also amended to 2029. FXI
effectively restructured most of its debt, thus S&P considers the
transaction tantamount to a general default as opposed to a
selective default.
S&P said, "We believe investors received less value than originally
promised. The exchange was at a marginal premium to par for
noteholders who tendered notes before the early exchange deadline
and a slight discount for those who tendered after that. The new
senior notes have a lower cash coupon relative to existing notes,
and the new junior notes do not pay cash interest until May 2029."
Furthermore, the issuance of super-senior notes effectively primed
the rest of the debt. Meanwhile, nonparticipating noteholders have
weaker credit protections due to the removal of substantially all
covenants and release of collateral. This group also does not
benefit from credit enhancements provided to participating
noteholders. Overall, the exchange offered investors less value and
compensation than the original promise under the existing
securities, in exchange for maturity extensions of at least three
years.
S&P said, "We view the restructuring as distressed, rather than
opportunistic, given FXI's near-term debt maturities, unsustainable
leverage, and weak liquidity. We believe FXI could not have
addressed its debt servicing requirements over the next 12 months
without a restructuring. Furthermore, we expect the business will
remain challenged for the next 12 months due to muted consumer
demand, which will sustain pressure on free cash flow and
liquidity." At the same time, a significant reduction in cash
interest expense partially offsets these pressures.
S&P intends to review its ratings on FXI over the coming days. The
review of its issuer credit rating and new issue-level ratings on
the company will incorporate its new capital structure, recent
events, and its forward-looking opinion of its creditworthiness.
GENESIS HEALTHCARE: S&P Affirms 'BB+' Rating on 2013 Revenue Bond
-----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings affirmed its 'BB+' long-term rating on the
Genesis HealthCare System, Ohio's series 2013 fixed-rate revenue
bonds. The bonds were issued for Genesis HealthCare System's
Obligated Group (Genesis).
The outlook is positive.
S&P views governance, environmental, and social factors as neutral
in its credit rating analysis.
S&P said, "The positive outlook reflects Genesis' improving balance
sheet, which we believe provides cushion at the current rating
level. Additionally, the outlook reflects a recently positive
underlying operating trend that is expected to be maintained
through the end of the fiscal year and beyond, which, in
conjunction with the receipt of one-time items, is expected to
provide solid maximum annual debt service (MADS) coverage. Finally,
the outlook reflects our expectation that the enterprise strengths
will be maintained, including a stable market share.
"We could revise the outlook to stable if operations were to fall
below expectations or if unrestricted reserves were to be spent
down unexpectedly. Additionally, an unanticipated debt issuance
could also pressure the outlook or rating.
"While we view balance sheet metrics as in line with the higher
rating level, we could consider a higher rating if Genesis is able
to sustain a trend of improved and healthier operating income,
especially given the increasing reliance on special funding."

GLOBAL CHOICE: Unsecureds to Get 100 Cents on Dollar in Plan
------------------------------------------------------------
Global Choice Ventures LLC filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Northern District of New York a Plan of Reorganization for
Small Business dated November 20, 2025.
The Debtor is a Limited Liability Company formed in 2017. Since
2021 the Debtor has been in the business of Real Estate property
ownership and management.
The Plan Proponent's financial projections show that the Debtor
will have projected disposable income of $4,257.84. The final Plan
payment is expected to be paid on April 1, 2031.
Non-priority unsecured creditors holding allowed claims will
receive distributions, which the proponent of this Plan has valued
at approximately 100 cents on the dollar. This Plan also provides
for the payment of administrative and priority claims.
Class 4 consists of Non-priority unsecured creditors. Unsecured
creditors will receive a total of $4,871.07 which will be
distributed pro rata to all allowed unsecured claims. Debtor will
pay a total of $81.18 per month to be distributed to unsecured
creditors pro rata. It is anticipated that this will yield
approximately 100 cents on the dollar of all unsecured allowed
claims. This Class is unimpaired.
Class 5 consists of Equity security holders of the Debtor. Equity
interest holders shall receive 100% of the shareholder interests in
the reorganized Debtor.
The Plan will be implemented by the Debtor remitting payment to
creditors as provided for in Section 4.01 herein from the Debtor's
cash flow derived from income.
Upon Confirmation of the Plan, all property of the Debtor, tangible
and intangible, including, without limitation, licenses, furniture,

GREAT LAKES: S&P Ups ICR to 'B' on Improved Cash Flow Generation
----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings raised S&P's issuer credit rating on Great Lakes
to 'B' from 'B-'.
In addition, S&P raised its issue-level rating on the company's
senior unsecured notes to 'B' from 'B-'; the recovery rating is '3'
(50%-70%; rounded estimate: 60%).
The stable outlook reflects S&P's expectation that Great Lakes will
continue to grow revenue and expand margins through 2026. It also
reflects our expectation that the company will generate
increasingly positive free cash flow as capex on new build programs
end.
Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corp. reported strong revenue growth and
expanded margins through the first three quarters of 2025,
exceeding our previous forecast. This stemmed from its healthy
backlog, strong project execution, and improved fleet utilization.
The company's improved earnings and decreasing capital expenditures
(capex) will support healthy FOCF generation over the next couple
of years.
S&P said, "We now expect Great Lakes to generate healthy free cash
flows in both 2025 and 2026. The company's earnings have improved,
and working-capital requirements have decreased compared to
historical trends due to project payment timing. This has resulted
in positive reported FOCF generation of approximately $49 million
year-to-date. We expect the company's capital expenditures to
decrease significantly through 2026 as its new build program ends
in the first quarter of 2026. In addition, the company repaid its
$100 million second-lien term loan after the third quarter using
its asset-based lending (ABL) facility, which was simultaneously
upsized to $430 million from $330 million (which had been
previously upsized in May of this year, from $300 million). The
repayment of the higher-interest debt will result in annual savings
of approximately $6 million from lower interest expenses. Given
these factors, we now expect the company to generate positive
reported free cash flow of $45 million-$55 million in 2025,
expanding to $50 million-$60 million in 2026. This exceeds our
previous assumptions of negative free cash flow in 2025 and
modestly positive free cash flow in 2026. These assumptions result
in S&P Global Ratings-adjusted FOCF to debt of 13%-14% in 2025 and
14%-15% in 2026.
"Great Lakes' revenue growth through the first three quarters of
2025 exceeded our previous forecast. The company's performance
through the third quarter was strong, with revenue growth of 12.8%
year-to-date relative to the prior year. The revenue growth has
primarily been driven by a healthy backlog that is weighted towards
larger-ticket capital projects and consistently high utilization of
its fleet despite a heavy dry-docking year. During the third
quarter, the company also generated revenue in its new offshore
energy segment through the use of a chartered vessel as it awaits
the delivery of the Acadia. It expects to generate additional
revenue within the segment in the fourth quarter. As such, we
expect full-year revenue growth of 11%-13% for 2025, materially
exceeding our prior forecast of 2%-4%. In 2026, we expect the
company's dredging revenues to remain relatively flat as its
backlog begins to moderate from unprecedented peak levels. However,
the delivery of the Acadia and two slated offshore wind projects in
2026 will provide incremental revenue growth. We expect 2026
revenue to grow 3%-5%.
"The company's margin profile expanded to the low-25% area, and we
expect stability at this level through 2026. Great Lakes' margins
have expanded materially in 2025, with a year-to-date S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted EBITDA margin of 25.2% through the third quarter,
which is a 370-basis-point increase over the prior period." This
material increase can be attributed to:
-- The company's elevated proportion of higher-margin capital and
coastal protection work, which has accounted for 87% of revenues
year to date;
-- Strong project execution, attributable to more efficient
vessels, including the recently completed Galveston Island and
Amelia Island, which both began work over the past two years; and
-- Improved fleet utilization despite a high dry docking year.
S&P said, "We expect margins to remain relatively stable in 2026 as
these trends continue. As such, we forecast S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted EBITDA margins in the 25%-27% area in 2025 and
2026, which exceeds our prior expectation of 21.5%-22.5%. We expect
the company's S&P Global Ratings-adjusted debt to EBITDA to be in
the mid-2x area in 2025 and 2026.
"The current prospects for the Acadia lack visibility beyond 2026.
Nevertheless, we believe the company has a sufficient cushion
within its credit metrics should the vessel be underutilized in
2027." Over the last year, the company has shifted its focus for
prospective work for the Acadia beyond the original planned
offshore wind market to include power, oil and gas, and telecom. It
has also pursued opportunities in Europe and Asia. The ship is
fully contracted for 2026, but the company doesn't have any
projects in backlog for 2027. Its primary focus is currently the
European market. Given the more mature state of that market,
contracts are awarded six to 12 months out from project initiation
as opposed to a couple of years like in the U.S. S&P said, "Our
current base-case assumes Great Lakes will be able to fully utilize
the vessel in 2027, however, under a worst-case scenario in 2027 in
which the company could not contract the vessel and were forced to
cold stack the Acadia, we would expect leverage to deteriorate to
the low 3x area with FOCF to debt in the 10.5% to 11.5% range,
still in line with the current rating."
S&P said, "The stable outlook reflects our expectation that Great
Lakes will continue to grow revenue and expand margins through
2026. It also reflects our expectation that the company will
generate increasingly positive free cash flow as capex on new build
programs end.
"We could lower our ratings on Great Lakes if operating performance
deteriorates such that S&P Global Ratings-adjusted debt to EBITDA
increased above 4x or S&P Global Ratings-adjusted FOCF to debt
declines below 10%. This could occur if the company's margin
profile experiences a material deterioration as a result of weaker
than expected volumes through trough periods of the dredging cycle
or poor project execution resulting in cost overruns."
While unlikely over the next 12 months, S&P could raise our rating
on Great Lakes if it exhibits reduced volatility of margins
throughout the different cycles of the dredging market in addition
to exhibiting:
-- S&P Global Ratings-adjusted FOCF to debt exceeding 15% on a
sustained basis; and
-- S&P Global Ratings-adjusted debt to EBITDA sustained below 3x.

H&T WHOLESALE: Seeks Cash Collateral Access
-------------------------------------------
H&T Wholesale Flowers, Inc. asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Arizona for authority to use cash collateral.
The Debtor seeks court authorization to use cash collateral,
primarily consisting of the secured interests held by LEAF Capital
Funding, LLC and Desert Financial Credit Union.
LEAF holds a first-position lien on the Debtor's assets, with a
claim of $100,532, while DFCU holds a second-position lien
estimated at $200,000. The Debtor has attempted to obtain approval
from both secured creditors for retroactive use of cash collateral,
successfully negotiating terms with LEAF, though DFCU did not
provide formal approval.
The proposed use of cash collateral covers ordinary and necessary
business expenses, including professional fees and regular payroll
for insiders, through January 31, 2026, or until confirmation of a
plan of reorganization.
As adequate protection for the creditors, the Debtor proposes
replacement liens on all present and future property to the extent
the cash collateral is diminished, along with superpriority
administrative claims under 11 U.S.C. sections 503(b) and 507(b).
A carve-out is provided for the Subchapter V trustee's fees and the
Debtor's professional fees. Insurance on the collateral will be
maintained with LEAF and DFCU as additional insureds or loss
payees. The stipulation is binding on the parties and their
successors, may only be modified in writing or by court order, and
the Court retains jurisdiction to enforce its terms.
A court hearing is set for December 16.

2025. In its petition, the Debtor reported between $100 million and
$500 million in assets and liabilities.
Honorable Bankruptcy Judge Thomas L. Saladino handles the case.

counsel; Silverman Consulting as restructuring advisor; Michael G.

HARMONY WELLNESS: Seeks to Use Cash Collateral
-----------------------------------------------
Harmony Wellness, Inc. asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Colorado for authorityt to use cash collateral and
provide adequate protection.
Harmony Wellness, a Fort Collins-based skin and wellness clinic
operating since 1999, filed a voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy
petition on September 3, and continues to operate as a
debtor-in-possession under 11 U.S.C. Sections 1107 and 1108.
The Debtor seeks authority to use cash collateral and provide
adequate protection to its secured creditor, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.
The bank holds a perfected security interest in all of Harmony
Wellness's tangible and personal property, including inventory,
accounts, equipment, and general intangibles, with a current
secured claim of approximately $331,116 under a commercial security
agreement.
The Debtor's total assets, including cash, deposits, inventory, and
equipment, are valued at approximately $180,000, making the use of
cash collateral critical to continuing operations, particularly to
meet payroll obligations of $63,000 to $74,000 per month, rent of
$13,323, and other operating expenses such as equipment rentals,
insurance, and professional fees.
To adequately protect Wells Fargo Bank, the Debtor proposes
providing replacement liens, monthly payments of $5,000,
maintaining insurance, delivering monthly financial reports,
adhering to a strict budget, paying post-petition taxes, and
preserving collateral.
The Debtor clarifies that other entities, including the IRS,
Colorado Department of Revenue, Larimer County, SBA, and
First-Citizens Bank, may have interests in its assets but asserts
that Wells Fargo Bank holds a first-priority interest in its cash
collateral.
Wells Fargo Bank is represented by:

Subchapter V of the Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. D. Colo. Case No.
25-15682) on September 4, 2025, with $100,001 to $500,000 in assets
and $500,001 to $1 million in liabilities.

HARRIS INTERNAL: Gets Interim OK to Use Cash Collateral
-------------------------------------------------------
Harris Internal Medicine, LLC received interim approval from the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Newnan
Division, to use cash collateral to fund operations.
The court authorized the Debtor to use cash collateral from
November 20 until the final hearing on December 10 in accordance
with its budget.
Certain revenue of the Debtor may constitute cash collateral of
lenders including BHG Funding 01, LLC and the U.S. Small Business
Administration.
As adequate protection, the lenders will be granted a replacement
lien on all property acquired by the Debtor after the petition date
that is similar to their pre-bankruptcy collateral. These
replacement liens do not apply to proceeds of any Chapter 5
avoidance actions.
The Debtor was ordered to pay the Subchapter V trustee $1,000 per
month starting November 30, as deposits designated solely for any
compensation awarded to the Subchapter V trustee.
The interim order is available at https://is.gd/mNVldA from
PacerMonitor.com.
BHG Funding 01 and the SBA may claim liens on certain Debtor
revenue, though the Debtor believes no amounts are currently owed
to either lender.
Harris filed its petition on November 12 and remains in possession
of its assets as a debtor-in-possession, with no trustee, examiner,
or creditor's committee appointed. The Debtor, a primary-care
medical practice owned by Dr. Erinn Harris-James, encountered
financial strain after purchasing equipment in 2023 intended for a
med spa that later closed, compounded by lost memberships and staff
departures in 2024. These conditions prevented the Debtor from
maintaining equipment payments, ultimately leading to this
bankruptcy filing to obtain the protection of the automatic stay
and reorganize its debts.

HIELO DEL CIELO: Unsecured Creditors to Split $30K over 5 Years
---------------------------------------------------------------
Hielo del Cielo LLC filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of Texas a Plan of Reorganization.
The Debtor operates a shaved ice business in Dallas, Texas.
This bankruptcy case was filed in an effort to address certain
challenges posed by litigation concerning a prior landlord of the
Debtor along with certain expenses and fees due and owing the City
of Dallas respecting an unimproved parcel of real property owned by
the Debtor.
The Plan provides for a reorganization and restructuring of the
Debtor's financial obligations.
The Plan provides for a distribution to Creditors in accordance
with the terms of the Plan from the Debtor over the course of five
years from the Debtor's continued business operations.
Class 3 consists of non-priority unsecured Claims. Each holder of
an Allowed Unsecured Claim in Class 3 shall be paid by Reorganized
Debtor from an unsecured creditor pool, which pool shall be funded
at the rate of $500.00 per month ($30,000.00 over the life of the
plan). Payments from the unsecured creditor pool shall be paid
quarterly, for a period not to exceed five years (20 quarterly
payments) and the first quarterly payment will be due on the
twentieth day of the first full calendar month following the last
day of the first quarter.
The Debtor estimates the aggregate of all Allowed Class 3 Claims is
approximately $425,000.00 (includes the SBA Deficiency Claim) based
upon Debtor's review of the Court's claim register, Debtor's
bankruptcy schedules, and anticipated Claim objections. This Class
is impaired.
The holder of an Allowed Class 4 Interest shall retain their
interests in the Reorganized Debtor.
The Debtor proposes to implement and consummate this Plan through
the means contemplated by Sections 1123 and 1145(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code.

2025 is available at https://urlcurt.com/u?l=iFIByb from

IDEANOMICS INC: Unsecured Creditors Will Get 0.4% to .05% in Plan
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Idex Wind Down, Inc. f/k/a Ideanomics, Inc. and its affiliates
filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware
an Amended Combined Disclosure Statement and Chapter 11 Plan of
Liquidation dated November 19, 2025.
Debtor IDEX Wind Down, the parent of the other Debtors, was
incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 19, 2004. IDEX Wind
Down has been headquartered in New York state since 2018.
Prior to entry of the Sale Orders, IDEX Wind Down maintained seven
subsidiaries, of which only Debtor Wireless Advanced Vehicle
Electrification, LLC ("WAVE") was operating. The remaining
subsidiaries were (i) holding companies or dormant subsidiaries
that ceased operations, (ii) remain unliquidated solely for the
purpose of compliance with administrative formalities, or (iii) in
the wind down process and are expected to be liquidated.
Following the divestitures and winding down of certain of the
Debtors' businesses, as of the Petition Date, the Debtors had one
operating entity, WAVE. The Debtors' other remaining business
lines, VIA Motors, Solectrac, and Energica, were shuttered or are
left without supporting funding due to liquidity constraints
typical of the Company's industry peers.
To further maximize the value of the Debtors' estates, on December
9, 2024, the Debtors sought entry of an order approving procedures
for the sale of substantially all of their assets; approving Tillou
as the stalking horse bidder; scheduling an auction and a hearing
to approve the sale; and approving the procedures related thereto.
Pursuant to the terms of the Tillou Sale Order, as consideration
for Tillou's acquisition of certain assets, Tillou provided
consideration of the total aggregate amount outstanding of the
Prepetition Obligations (as defined in the Final DIP Order), if
any, and the DIP Obligations (as defined in the Final DIP Order),
in each case including, without limitation, any accrued interest
and fees, which was deemed to be discharged and satisfied in full
and applied to the Purchase Price pursuant to the terms of the
Asset Purchase Agreement (each as defined in the Final DIP Order).
Pursuant to the terms of the JVIS Sale Order, JVIS credit bid the
sum of $224,999.00 of its total prepetition claim.
The sale of assets to Tillou closed on March 7, 2025, and the sale
to JVIS closed on April 2, 2025. Following the closure of these
sales approved in the Sale Orders all Assets remaining at VIA
Motors International, Inc., and certain assets of VIA Motors, Inc.
remain available to be monetized by the Debtors or the Liquidating
Trustee, as applicable. Further, none of Solectrac's assets were
sold during these Chapter 11 Cases and remain available to
Solectrac's Estate. As of the date hereof, SSG has continued
marketing these Assets for the benefit of the Debtors' and
Solectrac's respective Estates.
On September 30, 2025, the Debtors and Tillou executed a term sheet
whereby Tillou agreed to fund the Tillou Cash Payment to the
Debtors and/or Liquidating Trust, as applicable, pursuant to the
terms of the Combined DS and Plan. The Debtors intend to use the
Tillou Cash Payment for, among other things, to: (i) pay all
Allowed GUC Convenience Claims, (ii) provide the GUC Minimum
Funding, (iii) fund the Professional Fee Escrow, and (iv) fund the
Liquidating Trust to allow for the Liquidating Trustee to
effectuate the terms of this Combined DS and Plan.
Tillou agreed to provide the Tillou Cash Payment and the Returned
Tillou Causes of Action on the condition that the Combined DS and
Plan contain the releases set forth in the Combined DS and Plan.
Class 3 consists of GUC Convenience Claims. The allowed unsecured
claims total $0.371 to $2.171 millions. On the Plan Distribution
Date, except to the extent that a Holder of an Allowed GUC
Convenience Claim and the Debtors (prior to the Effective Date) or
the Liquidating Trust (after the Effective Date) agrees to less
favorable treatment, in full and final satisfaction, compromise,
settlement, release, and discharge of and in exchange for such
Claim, each Holder of an Allowed GUC Convenience Claim shall
receive a payment in Cash in the amount of ten percent of the
Allowed amount of such GUC Convenience Claim.
In the event the Court does not approve this treatment for GUC
Convenience Claims, then all GUC Convenience Claims shall be
considered General Unsecured Claims and will receive the treatment
for such Claims under Class 4 General Unsecured Claims set forth in
this Combined DS and Plan. Claims in Class 3 are Impaired. Holders
of Allowed GUC Convenience Claims are entitled to vote to accept or
reject the Combined DS and Plan.
Class 4 shall consist of all General Unsecured Claims that did not
make a GUC Convenience Claims Election. On the Plan Distribution
Date, except to the extent that a Holder of an Allowed General
Unsecured Claim and the Debtors (prior to the Effective Date) or
the Liquidating Trust (after the Effective Date) agrees to less
favorable treatment, in full and final satisfaction, compromise,
settlement, release, and discharge of and in exchange for such
Claim, each Holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim shall
receive its Pro Rata Share of the Liquidating Trust Units
applicable to such Debtor according to the Allocation Percentage
after Holders of Allowed Other Priority Claims and Allowed Other
Secured Claims are paid in full.
Claims in Class 4 are Impaired. Holders of Allowed General
Unsecured Claims are entitled to vote to accept or reject the
Combined DS and Plan. The allowed unsecured claims total $50.7
million to $55.6 million. This Class will receive a distribution of
0.4% to .05% of their allowed claims.
On the Effective Date, all Interests in the Debtors, other than
Intercompany Interests which shall be included in Class 7, shall be
deemed automatically canceled, released, and extinguished and shall
be of no further force or effect; provided, that, one or more of
the Debtors may continue to exist after the Effective Date as and
to the extent provided in Article VII.F. No Holder of an Interest
will receive any Plan Distribution on account thereof.
On or as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, the Debtors
or the Liquidating Trustee shall make Plan Distributions in
accordance with the Combined DS and Plan to Holders of Allowed
Administrative Claims, Allowed Tax Claims, Allowed Other Priority
Claims, and Allowed Other Secured Claims, as applicable, that are
due and payable as of the Effective Date using the Estate Cash.
Tillou shall fund to the Debtors the Tillou Cash Payment upon
confirmation of the Combined DS and Plan. On the Effective Date,
the Debtors shall transfer all Liquidating Trust Assets to the
Liquidating Trust. After the Effective Date, the Liquidating
Trustee shall make Plan Distributions from the Liquidating Trust
Assets on account of Allowed Claims in accordance with the Combined
DS and Plan and, as applicable, the Liquidating Trust Agreement.

IH 35 TRUCKING: Unsecureds Owed $1.5M Will Get 60.5% in 60 Months
-----------------------------------------------------------------
IH 35 Trucking, LLC and IH 35 Transportation, LLC filed with the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas a Combined
Disclosure Statement describing Plan of Reorganization dated
November 20, 2025.
The Debtors are for profit limited liability companies organized
under the laws of the State of Texas. IH 35 Trucking LLC
("Trucking") was formed on May 26, 2015 by Jorge Pablo Munoz. It
was initially formed to purchase commercial trucks and trailers on
credit to haul freight in interstate and intrastate commerce.
IH 35 Transportation, LLC ("Transportation") was formed on January
3, 2017 by Jorge Pablo Munoz. Both companies were originally formed
to haul freight, with one of them carrying refrigerated goods and
the other carrying flatbed loads. The companies eventually evolved
so that Transportation hauls both types of freight, while Trucking
became an entity whose primary business is leasing its equipment to
the related limited liability company, IH 35 Transportation, LLC.
Trucking's principal creditor Commercial Credit Group, Inc ("CCG")
threatened to foreclose on the sixteen trucks and twenty-three
trailers it had financed and has liens on. Mr. Munoz was worried
that such a foreclosure would put both companies out of business.
In an effort to save the companies, Mr. Munoz agreed to a
refinancing arrangement (the "Refi") with CCG in December of 2024.
The Refi shortened the repayment term to 121 weeks on loans who
original terms would have continued to run over thirty and is some
cases forty-eight months.
Both companies are recovering but have struggled to make all of the
payments on the trucks and trailers eventually resulting in a
threat of and actual attempts to prepossess trucks and trailers.
The Chapter 11 case was filed to stop the repossessions and to
reorganize the debts.
Class 21 Unsecured Claims for IH 35 Trucking, LLC consists of 19
claims. This Class will receive a monthly payment amount of $15,000
shared prorata for 60 months. Payments will begin 30 days after the
effective date. The allowed unsecured claims total $1,485,979.91.
This Class will receive a distribution of 60.5% of their allowed
claims. This Class is impaired.
Class 3 claims for IH 35 Transportation, LLC consists of 113
unsecured claims. This Class will receive a monthly payment amount
of $3,350.00 shared pro-rata for 60 months. Payments will begin 30
days after the effective date. The allowed unsecured claims total
$309,437.93. This Class will receive a distribution of 64.9% of
their allowed claims. This Class is impaired.
Payments from IH 35 Transportation, LLC in the amount of $167,000
per month for the lease of Trucking's equipment. In January of 2026
this annual lease is going to be reduced to $135,000.00 per month
to take into consideration the older condition of the equipment and
the increased cost of maintaining same. Debtor's projected cash
flow Exhibit E-1 indicates that these amounts will be sufficient to
fund the Plan and pay the Debtor's operating expenses.
Payments and distributions under the IH 35 Transportation Plan will
be funded by income the company receives for hauling freight; IH 35
Transportation, LLC's projected cash flow Exhibit E-2 indicates
that this amount will be sufficient to fund the Plan and pay the
Debtor's operating expenses.

INGLE & ASSOCIATES: Gets Interim OK to Use Cash Collateral
----------------------------------------------------------
Ingle & Associates, LLC received interim approval from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts to use cash
collateral to fund operations.
The court authorized the Debtor's interim use of cash collateral,
including proceeds from pre-bankruptcy accounts receivable and cash
on hand in which secured creditors may claim a security interest.
The secured creditors include Avidia Bank, Essentia Holdings, LLC,
Forward Financing, LLC, LG Funding, LLC, ODK Capital, LLC and the
U.S. Small Business Administration.
As adequate protection, secured creditors will be granted
replacement liens on the Debtor's post-petition property, with the
same validity, priority and extent as their pre-bankruptcy liens.
The interim order is available at https://is.gd/1r3VUz from
PacerMonitor.com.
The next hearing is set for December 4. The deadline for filing
objections is on December 2.
As of the petition date, the Debtor's assets primarily consist of
accounts receivable with a book value of approximately $134,000, of
which about half is expected to be collectible, and office
furniture and equipment valued at roughly $5,000. The Debtor's
liabilities total approximately $2,041,845, including $833,170 owed
to Avidia Bank, $500,000 owed to the SBA under a COVID relief loan,
$145,000 owed to merchant cash advance lenders, and $563,000 in
other general unsecured debts.
Avidia Bank holds a first-position lien on all assets, including
cash collateral, the SBA holds a second-position lien, and the MCAs
claim secured interests, though their enforceability and perfection
are disputed. The Debtor estimates that liquidation would yield no
more than $5,000, almost entirely for Avidia Bank, and would result
in the loss of nine jobs, providing minimal recovery for unsecured
creditors.
The Debtor filed its voluntary Chapter 11 petition on November 13.
Founded in 2011, the Debtor is an accounting firm serving
individuals, businesses, non-profits, and condominium associations,
with offices in Wellesley Hills and Marshfield, Massachusetts.
Financial difficulties began in late 2022 following the sudden
deaths of two key staff members, which led to the loss of clients
and nearly two years of backlog in work. At the same time, the
interest rate on the Debtor's loan with Avidia Bank increased from
5% to 8%, raising monthly payments and contributing to a cash
deficit. Attempts to cover this deficit through merchant cash
advance loans worsened the financial situation, ultimately
prompting the Debtor to seek bankruptcy protection. Despite these
challenges, the Debtor maintains a strong reputation and believes
it can reorganize effectively and provide meaningful distributions
to creditors.

manager, the Debtor disclosed up to $100,000 in assets and up to

KLEOPATRA FINCO: Final Hearing on DIP Financing Set for Dec. 3
--------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas is set
to hold a hearing on December 3 to consider final approval of
Kleopatra Finco S.a r.l.'s bid to obtain debtor-in-possession
financing and use cash collateral.
The court on November 5 granted Kleopatra Finco and its affiliates
interim approval to obtain an initial EUR264 million from lenders,
which have committed to provide up to EUR349 million in new money
term loans. The remaining EUR85 million will be available upon
entry of a final order.
The financing is governed by the terms of a credit agreement under
which the lenders committed to provide up to EUR984 million in
senior secured superpriority term loan facility. This DIP facility
includes the EUR349 million in new money term loans and EUR635
million in roll-up loans.
Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB serves as administrative and
collateral agent under the EUR984 million credit agreement.
The interim order granted the lenders protection in the form of a
valid, non-avoidable, and automatically perfected security
interests in and liens on the collateral securing the DIP loans and
a superpriority administrative expense claim, subject and
subordinate to the fee carveout.
The DIP loans are due and payable on the earliest of:
(i) The date that is nine months after the closing date;
(ii) The date on which all loans are accelerated and all unfunded
commitments (if any) have been terminated in accordance with the
credit agreement, by operation of law or otherwise;
(iii) The date the bankruptcy court orders the dismissal of the
Debtors' Chapter 11 cases or their conversion to a Chapter 7
liquidation;
(iv) The closing of any sale of assets pursuant to Section 363 of
the Bankruptcy Code, which when taken together with all other sales
of assets since the closing date, constitutes a sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the borrowers; and
(v) Effective date of the Chapter 11 plan.
The Debtors must meet several milestones including entry of a final
DIP order within 30 days of November 4; plan confirmation within 45
days of that date; and the plan's effective date within 90 days of
November 4.
The interim order also authorized the Debtors to use the cash
collateral of pre-bankruptcy secured creditors and to provide such
creditors with adequate protection in the form of valid, perfected
replacement and additional security interests in and liens on the
DIP collateral; administrative expense claim under section 507(b)
of the Bankruptcy Code; and payment of fees and expenses.
The interim DIP order is available at
https://urlcurt.com/u?l=wdgbSL from PacerMonitor.com.
The Debtors' attorney, John Higgins, Esq., at Porter Hedges, LLP,
said the Debtors require immediate access to the DIP facility,
along with the continued use of cash collateral, to fund operations
and administrative costs.
As of the petition date, the Debtors' cash balance was
approximately EUR47 million, which is
insufficient to operate their enterprise and continue paying their
debts as they come due, according to Mr. Higgins.

LUMEXA IMAGING: S&P Places 'B-' ICR on CreditWatch Positive
-----------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings placed all its ratings on Lumexa Imaging Equity
Holdco LLC (previously US Radiology Specialist Holdings LLC),
including its 'B-' issuer credit rating and 'B-' issue-level rating
on its senior secured facilities, on CreditWatch with positive
implications.
Lumexa publicly filed an S-1 earlier this week and announced its
intention to launch an IPO. The company expects to use proceeds
from the new equity offering, to pay down outstanding debt.
Management also indicated it plans to refinance its $1,196 million
term loan with a new approximately $800 million-$825 million term
loan B.
S&P Global Ratings anticipates the proposed IPO will enable the
company to reduce its debt leverage and substantially lower its
interest expense.
S&P said, "The CreditWatch placement reflects that we expect to
upgrade the company pending the success of its IPO. Specifically,
we anticipate raising our issuer credit rating by one or two
notches (to 'B' or 'B+') pending a further review of its financial
policies, ownership and board composition, and expected leverage
levels."
A successful IPO would enable Lumexa to materially reduce its debt
leverage. In its public filing, the company outlined that it
expects to use the proceeds from the IPO, along with a new $800
million-$825 million term loan B, to repay its approximately $1.2
billion of existing debt. Additionally, management plans to
increase the capacity of its revolver to $250 million from $165
million.
S&P said, "With S&P Global Ratings-adjusted EBITDA of about $180
million for the 12-months ended June 2025 and S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted debt of about $1.3 billion (including lease
obligations), we expect this transaction will enable Lumexa to
reduce its debt leverage to more than 2x from about 7.4x currently.
We also expect the transaction will substantially reduce the
company's interest expense and improve its free operating cash flow
(FOCF) to debt to more than 5% from about 2%.
"In addition to its S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage, we will
explore Lumexa's financial policies as a public company. In
resolving the CreditWatch placement, the company's stated financial
policies (leverage targets and tolerances) and the influence of its
private-equity sponsors, which will remain its largest shareholders
following the close of the transaction, will be important
considerations in determining the rating. At that time, we expect
to upgrade Lumexa by one or two notches, to 'B' or 'B+', largely
depending on our confidence that it will generally maintain S&P
Global Ratings-adjusted leverage of below 5x.
"While the majority of publicly traded companies generally avoid
maintaining S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage above 5x, we'll
need to understand Lumexa's commitment to that, the influence of
its private-equity sponsors (especially given the reduced scrutiny
around mergers and acquisitions as a publicly traded company), and
the extent to which it will continue to issue substantial
stock-based compensation (or instead replace a portion of that with
increased cash-based compensation) as a publicly traded company.
"The CreditWatch positive placement indicates the uncertainty
around the timing and success of Lumexa's IPO, as well as the
amount of proceeds it will generate and its long-term capital
structure. We expect to resolve the CreditWatch once the company
has completed the IPO, we learn the final amount of the offering,
and it has finalized the repayment of its debt. At that time, we
expect to upgrade Lumexa by one or two notches to 'B' or 'B+'."

Judge Dennis Montali of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of California granted in part the motion of
Milestone Financial, LLC for attorneys' fees in the adversary

its fee request to a total of 58.4 hours. Upon review of the
timesheets, the Court does not find the time to be duplicative and
no other reductions appear appropriate.
The Court finds no other reason to make any reductions to the
reasonable rate or hours.
According to the Court, the reasonable rate of compensation is a
blended rate of $515 per hour, and the reasonable amount of time
worked to be compensated is 210.75 hours plus $535 (in paralegal
and discounted fees) of compensable work on the AP Fee Motion and
58.4 hours on the Appeal Fee Motion. The Court awards Milestone a
total of $109,071.25 on the AP Fee Motion and a total of $30,076 on
the Appeal Fee Motion in reasonable attorneys' fees to be paid by
Plaintiff.

Case No. 20-30711-DM (Bankr. N.D. Calif.).
MESQUITE ENERGY: SCOTUS Won't Hear Creditors' Appeal of Apollo Win
------------------------------------------------------------------
Alex Wolf of Bloomberg Law reports that the U.S. Supreme Court
refused to hear an appeal from junior creditors seeking a stake in
Mesquite Energy Inc., solidifying Apollo Global Management's
control over the Texas oil driller. The high court's order
preserves a Fifth Circuit ruling that awarded full ownership to
Apollo and other senior lenders, overturning a prior bankruptcy
court decision that had granted junior creditors a 70% interest.
The case stems from the bankruptcy of Sanchez Energy Inc.,
Mesquite's predecessor, and the collapse of oil and gas prices
during the COVID-19 pandemic. Sanchez's enterprise value fell to
about $85 million in early 2020, prompting a complex restructuring
process in which creditors moved quickly to confirm a Chapter 11
plan while deferring disputes over liens and equity ownership,
according to report.
Judge Marvin Isgur spent years adjudicating the case, ultimately
ruling in 2023 that senior lenders were entitled to only 30% of
Mesquite's equity despite holding secured debt exceeding the
company's value, as their liens had not been properly fixed
pre-bankruptcy. The Fifth Circuit reversed that decision earlier
this 2025, finding that the lower court miscalculated lien values
and mistakenly allowed the lenders to face potential double
recovery.
Junior creditors had urged the Supreme Court to intervene, arguing
that the appeals court failed to consider the worthlessness of the
collateral returned to Sanchez. With the high court declining
review, Apollo's victory stands. The unsecured noteholders are
represented by Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan LLP, while Apollo
and its co-lenders are represented by Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP
and Jones Day LLP, the report states.
About Mesquite Energy
Mesquite Energy, formerly Sanchez Energy Corporation and its
affiliates, -- https://sanchezenergycorp.com/ -- are independent
exploration and production companies focused on the acquisition and
development of U.S. onshore oil and natural gas resources. Sanchez
Energy is currently focused on the development of significant
resource potential from the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas, and
holds other producing properties and undeveloped acreage, including
in the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale (TMS) in Mississippi and Louisiana.
As of Dec. 31, 2018, the companies had approximately 325,000 net
acres of oil and natural gas properties with proved reserves of
approximately 380 million barrels of oil equivalent and interests
in approximately 2,400 gross producing wells.
Sanchez Energy and 10 affiliates sought protection under Chapter 11
of the Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. S.D. Tex. Lead Case No. 19-34508) on
Aug. 11, 2019. As of June 30, 2019, the companies disclosed
$2,159,915,332 in assets and $2,854,673,930 in liabilities. The
cases were assigned to Judge Marvin Isgur.
Sanchez tapped Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP and Jackson
Walker L.L.P. as bankruptcy counsel; Moelis & Company LLC as
financial advisor; Alvarez & Marsal North America LLC as
restructuring advisor; and Prime Clerk LLC as notice and claims
agent. The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors tapped Milbank
LLP and Locke Lord LLP as its co-counsel.
Sanchez Energy emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection with a
new name: Mesquite Energy Inc., according to a June 30, 2020 press
release. The company's financial restructuring eliminated
substantially all of its $2.3 billion in debt.

MORE THAN PLUMBING: Gets OK to Use Cash Collateral Until Dec. 13
-----------------------------------------------------------------
More Than Plumbing, LLC received interim approval from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, Southern
Division, to use cash collateral to fund operations.
The court issued an interim order extending the Debtor's authority
to use cash collateral to December 13 in accordance with its
revised budget, subject to a 20% variance per budget line item. It
authorized the Debtor to use up to $89,669 in cash collateral
during the interim period.
The Debtor previously mistakenly requested authority to spend only
$36,013 during the first six weeks of the bankruptcy case, a figure
inconsistent with its own budget. The corrected figure is $89,669
through December 13, as reflected in the revised budget.
A final hearing will be held on December 10. If no objection is
filed, the order becomes final without further hearing.
As of the petition date, the Debtor's cash collateral consisted of
approximately $5,661 in cash and $5,000 in accounts receivable. The
Debtor's revised budget shows projected revenues and expenses for a
13-week period and reflects its expectation of profitable
post-petition operations.
Formed in 2018 and wholly owned through Just Jake, LLC by Levi
Moore, the Debtor provides plumbing services to commercial and
residential customers throughout Eastern Michigan. The Debtor
itself has historically been profitable and solvent; its bankruptcy
filing results entirely from guaranty obligations related to a
financially distressed affiliate, Built Solid Renovations LLC,
which filed its own Chapter 11 case contemporaneously. The Debtor
guaranteed Built Solid's $1.75 million Newtek loan and Built
Solid's default created a significant contingent liability that the
Debtor cannot satisfy outside bankruptcy.
The Debtor anticipates that the U.S. Small Business Administration
will assert a secured claim of roughly $115,900 secured by all
assets. Additional Newtek guarantees were executed by several
related entities and Mr. Moore personally, and the Newtek debt is
also secured by mortgages on Mr. Moore's residences.
About More Than Plumbing LLC

$0 to $50,000 and liabilities of between $1,000,001 to $10
million.

NAVIDEA BIOPHARMACEUTICALS: Seeks to Sell Pharma Biz at Auction
---------------------------------------------------------------
Navidea Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. seeks permission from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, to sell
substantially all Assets at auction, free and clear of liens,
claims, interests, and encumbrances.
The Debtor has determined that the best path forward for maximizing
the value of its estate is to initiate a marketing process to
explore all available strategic alternatives for consummating the
highest and best transaction with respect to the Debtor’s assets
for the benefit of all stakeholders.
The Debtor seeks approval of Bid Procedures that will give parties
ample time to conduct their necessary due diligence and formulate a
bid. The Debtor believes the Proposed Transaction process is the
most efficient path to emergence and will maximize creditor
recoveries while minimizing administrative expenses that would
otherwise be incurred in a cost prohibitive valuation fight.
The Debtor operates in the space of precision medicine with
immuno-targeted products designed to help identify the sites and
pathways of undetected disease and enable better diagnostic
accuracy, clinical decision-making, targeted treatment and,
ultimately, patient care. Focusing on the development of innovative
immunodiagnostic agents and immunotherapeutics that can and will
make a difference for individuals touched by devastating conditions
like cancer, autoimmune, infectious and inflammatory diseases, as
well as their families, physicians and care givers, Navidea seeks
to develop next-generation targeted diagnostics and therapies for
these diseases.
On October 7, 2025, the United States Trustee appointed David M.
Klauder of Bielli & Klauder, LLC to serve as the Subchapter V
trustee.
During the evidentiary hearing on final approval of the DIP
Financing, the Stockholder raised arguments and questioned Edward
Burr, the independent director of the Debtor, regarding the value
of the Debtor’s Assets. In subsequent conversations between the
Debtor’s counsel and the Stockholder’s counsel, it became
evident that valuation of the Assets would be a continuing dispute
between the Debtor and the Stockholder
during the course of the Chapter 11 Case and the Plan process,
necessitating expensive discovery
and litigation.
The Debtor has designed the Bid Procedures to maximize the
likelihood of competitive participation in the marketing process
while maintaining optionality for the Debtor.
Through this Motion, the Debtor respectfully requests that the
Court approve the following timeline:
(a) Entry of an Order Approving Bid Procedures: December 16, 2025.
(b) Deadline to file and serve Bid Procedures Notice: within two
business days after the entry of the Bid Procedures Order.
(c) Assignment Notice: No later than 14 days after entry of the Bid
Procedures Order.
(d) Assigned Contract Objection Deadline: No later than 14 days
after the service of the Assignment Notice.
(e) Bid Deadline: January 13, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. (prevailing
Eastern Time).
(f) Auction: January 15, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. (prevailing Eastern
Time.
(g) Successful Bidder Notice Deadline: Not more than twenty-four
(24) hours after closing or canceling the Auction.
(h) Successful Bidder Objection Deadline: January 20, 2026, at
12:00 p.m. (prevailing Eastern Time).
(i) Proposed Transaction Hearing: TBD; Week of January 26, 2026.
(j) Proposed Transaction Closing Deadline: February 11, 2026.
The Bid Procedures contemplated herein are supported by the DIP
Lender and provide flexibility with respect to the structure of any
Proposed Transaction.
The Debtor submits that the proposed Bid Procedures will encourage
competitive bidding, are appropriate under the relevant standards
governing auction proceedings and bidding incentives in bankruptcy
proceedings.

NEEDSPACE HACKS: Lender Seeks to Prohibit Cash Collateral Access
----------------------------------------------------------------
Simmons Bank asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern
District of Mississippi to prohibit NeedSpace Hacks Cross, LLC from
using cash collateral, or alternatively, demand adequate protection
or immediate stay relief and abandonment of the underlying real
property.
Specifically, Simmons Bank seeks an order prohibiting Needspace
Hacks Cross from using the rents and their proceeds, which Need
Space Westbranch, LLC collaterally assigned to the bank because
neither NHC nor NSW can provide adequate protection for the use
of the rents, which constitute its cash collateral.
NSW executed a commercial loan in November 2022 secured by a large
self-storage facility located in Olive Branch, Mississippi, along
with a collateral assignment of all rents and leases from the
property. The loan was personally guaranteed by Marion Threatt. NSW
has defaulted on multiple obligations under the loan documents,
including failing to make payments, failing to pay real estate
taxes, failing to maintain insurance, and transferring the property
to NHC without satisfying the debt.
As a result, Simmons accelerated the entire indebtedness, now
exceeding $4.3 million and accruing interest of more than $24,000
per month. Simmons recounts that after it filed a receivership
action in federal district court, and just before a hearing on its
motion to appoint a receiver, NSW filed a single-asset real estate
Chapter 11 case, which was later dismissed for failure to comply
with court orders. Once the receivership hearing was rescheduled,
NSW again sought to halt proceedings by filing a second notice of
bankruptcy, claiming it had transferred all assets including the
subject property to NHC on the same day NHC filed its own Chapter
11 petition.
Simmons contends that these transfers and filings were done in bad
faith to hinder, delay, or defraud the Bank and to disrupt the
receivership process. It asserts that NHC is refusing access to the
property, provides no adequate protection, has no contractual
relationship with Simmons, and cannot lawfully use rental income
that was previously assigned to the Bank. Simmons therefore asks
the Court to prohibit all use of rents, or alternatively impose
strict adequate protection conditions, and further requests
termination of the automatic stay and abandonment of the property
from the estate.
A court hearing is scheduled for December 10.

Milton, the founder of Nikola who received a presidential pardon
earlier this year for securities and wire fraud charges, has

approval of Nikola's Chapter 11 plan. Milton contends that the
discovery process could disrupt his legal strategy and impose
unnecessary burdens during the ongoing appeal.

plan, which restructures the company and addresses claims from
creditors. The judge has not yet decided whether to grant the stay
on discovery requests.

NXT ENERGY: Reports C$1.78 Million Net Loss in 2025 Q3
------------------------------------------------------
NXT Energy Solutions Inc. filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its Third Quarter 2025 Results, reporting a net
loss of C$1.78 million for the three months ended September 30,
2025, compared to a net loss of C$1.48 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reported
a net loss of C$1.08 million, compared to a net loss of C$6.28
million for the same period in 2024.
The Company recorded SFD(R)-related revenues of C$91,922 for the
three months ended September 30, 2025 versus $nil for the three
months ended September 30, 2024.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had C$18.06 million in total
assets, C$5.56 million in total liabilities, and C$12.5 million in
total stockholders' equity.
The Company's current cash position is not expected to be
sufficient to meet the Company's obligations and planned operations
for the next 12 months.
During 2024 the Company completed an SFD(R) survey and had received
deposits on three other SFD(R) surveys planned to be executed in
2025.
As of November 14, 2025 (the date of these financial statements),
the Company has finished one of those SFD(R) surveys and the
interpretation phase of another of the 2025 SFD(R) Surveys.
In addition, during 2023 and 2024 the Company completed convertible
debenture financings which resulted in raising additional net
proceeds of approximately C$8.19 million of which US$5.72 million
of the original proceeds have been converted to common shares.
The Company continues to develop its pipeline of opportunities to
secure additional revenue contracts. The Company's longer-term
success remains dependent upon its ability to convert these revenue
opportunities into successful contracts, to continue to attract new
client projects, expand its revenue base to a level sufficient to
exceed fixed operating costs, and generate consistent positive cash
flow from operations. The occurrence and timing of these events
cannot be predicted with certainty.
Further financing options that may or may not be available to the
Company include the issuance of new equity, debentures or bank
credit facilities. The need for any of these options will be
dependent on the timing of securing additional SFD(R) related
revenues and obtaining financing on terms that are acceptable to
both the Company and the financier.
Bruce G. Wilcox, CEO of NXT, commented, "The company's revenue
performance for the first nine months of 2025 marks a dramatic
turnaround from the prior year. Year-to-date SFD(R)-related revenue
reached $14.21 million, versus $0.60 million for YTD 2024. This
growth was driven by two key projects: the African SFD(R) survey
and the Southeast Asia SFD(R) survey which highlights a significant
increase in commercial activity and project execution. NXT achieved
a significant improvement in bottom-line performance, reporting a
YTD 2025 net loss of C$1.08 million, a reduction from the C$6.28
million net loss in YTD 2024."
"The YTD 2025 result was heavily skewed by a non-cash accounting
charge. The company recognized a loss of C$5.83 million on the fair
value remeasurement of its convertible debentures. This charge is a
direct result of the significant increase in NXT's common share
price during the period, which increased the liability value of the
conversion feature. This accounting requirement masks a much
stronger underlying operational performance. Excluding this
non-cash accounting charge, the Company's pre-tax operational
performance would shift from a loss of $1.08 million to a profit of
approximately C$4.75 million, dramatically illustrating the
positive impact of the year's commercial success. Year to date
approximately US$5.72 million, or 92.7% of the debentures have been
converted into approximately 29.4 million common shares.
"I am also pleased to announce that our team has deployed to
Pakistan to commence the data acquisition phase of the SFD(R)
survey for AL-Haj Enterprises Private Limited. We expect to deliver
NXT's interpretations and recommendations during the fourth quarter
of 2025."

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had C$18.06 million in total
assets, C$5.56 million in total liabilities, and C$12.5 million in
total stockholders' equity.
Calgary, Canada-based MNP LLP, the Company's auditor since 2023,
issued a "going concern" qualification in its report dated March
27, 2025, citing that the Company's current cash position is not
expected to be sufficient to meet the Company's obligations and
planned operations for a year beyond the date of auditor's report,
unless additional financing is obtained or new revenue contracts
are completed. This raises substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.
OLD SCHOOL: Unsecureds Will Get 100% of Claims in Liquidating Plan
------------------------------------------------------------------
Old School, Inc., submitted a Third Amended Combined Disclosure
Statement and Plan of Liquidation dated November 20, 2025.
The Debtor proposes the Combined Disclosure Statement and Plan for
the liquidation of the Debtor's remaining Assets and distribution
of the proceeds of such assets to the Holders of Allowed Claims
against the Debtor.
The Debtor's settlement with Orthogon results in certain changes to
the Combined Disclosure Statement and Plan, including the Allowance
of Orthogon's Class 3 General Unsecured Claim in the amount of
$3,145,476.80 and Orthogon's agreement to support confirmation of
the Combined Disclosure Statement and Plan and to change its vote
to accept the Combined Disclosure Statement and Plan. Moreover,
following the resolution of certain other material Disputed General
Unsecured Claims Filed against the Debtor by the General Bar Date,
Holders of Claims in Class 3 (General Unsecured Claims) are now
reasonably expected to be paid in full with interest on their
Allowed General Unsecured Claims as required by applicable law.
Because Holders of Claims in Class 3 (General Unsecured Claims) are
Unimpaired and Orthogon is the sole Holder of Class 4 Preferred
Equity Interests, the classification and Allowance of Orthogon's
Class 3 Claim would in any event inure to the benefit of Orthogon;
as such, the Debtor believes the Orthogon Settlement to be a
reasonable resolution of Orthogon's disputes regarding confirmation
the Combined Disclosure Statement and Plan. The Orthogon Settlement
serves as a foundation for consensual confirmation of the Combined
Disclosure Statement and Plan.
The Debtor has also resolved the Indemnification Claims of Stuart
Ellis and Brad Coburn as set forth in the stipulation Filed at
Docket No. 295. Such Claims are now classified as Class 5 510(b)
Claims. The Debtor also obtained the withdrawal of another
significant Disputed General Unsecured Claim. The Debtor is
continuing to consider how to resolve other Filed Claims and
reserves all rights to object to or seek to subordinate or disallow
Claims.
Class 3 consists of General Unsecured Claims. Each Holder of an
Allowed General Unsecured Claim shall receive, from the Plan
Administration Assets, in full and final satisfaction of and in
exchange for such Allowed General Unsecured Claim: (i) Cash equal
to the amount of such Allowed General Unsecured Claim plus post
petition interest accrued from the Petition Date through the
Effective Date at the applicable contract rate or, if there is no
such rate, at the federal judgment rate in effect as of the
Petition Date; or (ii) such other treatment which the Debtor or the
Plan Administrator, as applicable, and the Holder of such Allowed
General Unsecured Claim have agreed upon in writing.
The allowed unsecured claims total $5,853,953. This Class will
receive a distribution of 100% of their allowed claims. This Class
is impaired.
The Cash proceeds from the Sale plus the proceeds of the remaining
New Purchased Receivables form the preliminary basis for the
Distributions contemplated under the Combined Disclosure Statement
and Plan. Following the closing of the Sale, the Debtor anticipated
full payment of Creditors' Claims.
Since the Closing of the Sale, the Debtor has focused on
efficiently winding down its business, preserving Cash, and
monetizing its remaining Assets. The Debtor's remaining Assets
(which, upon the Effective Date, shall constitute the Plan
Administration Assets) currently consist of (i) Remaining Cash,
(ii) after payment of Allowed Professional Fees Claims, Cash in the
Professional Fee Reserve (if any), (iii) after payment of Allowed
Professional Fee Claims, any retainers, deposits, or similar
instruments or agreements held by the Debtor's Professionals, (iv)
the Excluded Assets, (v) the Retained Causes of Action, (vi) any
outstanding New Purchased Receivables (if any), and (vii) any and
all other Assets of the Debtor other than Acquired Assets.
This Combined Disclosure Statement and Plan provides for the Plan
Administration Assets, to the extent not already liquidated, to be
liquidated over time and the proceeds thereof to be distributed to
holders of Allowed Claims in accordance with the terms of the
Combined Disclosure Statement and Plan and the treatment of Allowed
Claims and Allowed Interests described more fully herein. The Plan
Administrator will effect such liquidation and distributions.

and Plan dated November 20, 2025 is available at

ONDAS HOLDINGS: Reports $8.8M Q3 Loss, Removes Going Concern Doubt
------------------------------------------------------------------
Ondas Holdings Inc. filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reporting a net loss
attributable to common stockholders of $8,782,419 for the three
months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a net loss
attributable to common stockholders of $10,671,912 for the three
months ended September 30, 2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reported
a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $36,144,526,
compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of
$30,899,010 for the same period in 2024.
Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and
2024, were $10,098,310 and $1,480,792, respectively. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had total
revenues of $20,619,880 and $3,063,652, respectively.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $550,150,569 in total
assets, $39,775,843 in total liabilities, and $487,223,712 in total
stockholders' equity.
The Company disclosed that it has incurred losses since inception
and have funded its operations primarily through debt and the sale
of capital stock.
Ondas said, "As of September 30, 2025, we had an accumulated
deficit of approximately $268,723,000."
"As of September 30, 2025, we had net long-term borrowings
outstanding of approximately $2,489,000 and short-term borrowings
outstanding of approximately $12,541,000, net of debt discount and
issuance costs of approximately $177,000, including accrued
interest of approximately $712,000, of which approximately $456,000
is due to related parties.
"As of September 30, 2025, we had cash and restricted cash of
approximately $433,394,000 and working capital of approximately
$447,568,000. We had approximately $26,018,000 of net cash flows
used in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
"In 2024, we raised approximately $36,997,000 of net proceeds from
issuance of convertible notes in Ondas Holdings, Ondas Networks,
and OAS; approximately $1,422,000 of net proceeds from issuance of
secured notes in Ondas Networks; approximately $7,304,000 of net
proceeds from issuing Common Stock, warrants in Ondas Holdings, and
warrants in OAS; and approximately $4,375,000 in net proceeds from
issuing additional redeemable preference shares in Ondas Networks
and warrants in Ondas Holdings.
"During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we raised
approximately $422,309,000 in proceeds, net of issuance costs, from
registered offerings, $24,708,000 from the exercise of stock
options and warrants, $923,000 in proceeds, net of issuance costs,
from issuance of convertible notes in Ondas Networks, and $365,000
in Israeli government grants to Airobotics."
The Company's audited consolidated financial statements as of
December 31, 2024 included in the Company's most recent Annual
Report on Form 10-K and unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements included in the Company's Form 10-Q as of and for the
three months ended March 31, 2025, management concluded that
substantial doubt existed about the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern due to recurring operating losses and limited
liquidity resources.
Management believes that the Company will have sufficient capital
resources to fund its operations for the next 12 months.
Accordingly, management has concluded that substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern no longer
exists.
"We expect to fund our operations for the next twelve months from
the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q from the cash
on hand as of September 30, 2025, gross profits generated from
revenue growth, potential prepayments from customers for purchase
orders, potential proceeds from warrants issued and outstanding,
and additional funds that we may seek through equity or debt
offerings and/or borrowings under additional notes payable, lines
of credit or other sources."
"Our future capital requirements will depend upon many factors,
including progress with developing, manufacturing and marketing our
technologies, the time and costs involved in preparing, filing,
prosecuting, maintaining and enforcing patent claims and other
proprietary rights, our ability to establish collaborative
arrangements, marketing activities and competing technological and
market developments, including regulatory changes and overall
economic conditions in our target markets.
"Our ability to generate revenue and achieve profitability requires
us to successfully market and secure purchase orders for our
products and services from customers currently identified in our
sales pipeline as well as new customers. We will also be required
to efficiently manufacture and deliver equipment on those purchase
orders.
"These activities, including our planned research and development
efforts, will require significant uses of working capital. There
can be no assurance that we will generate revenue and cash as
expected in our current business plan. We may seek additional funds
through equity or debt offerings and/or borrowings under additional
notes payable, lines of credit or other sources. We do not know
whether additional financing will be available on commercially
acceptable terms or at all, when needed.
"If adequate funds are not available or are not available on
commercially acceptable terms, our ability to fund our operations,
support the growth of our business or otherwise respond to
competitive pressures could be significantly delayed or limited,
which could materially adversely affect our business, financial
conditions, or results of operations."

PERMIAN RESOURCES: S&P Affirms 'BB+' ICR, Outlook Positive
----------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings affirmed the 'BB+' issuer credit rating on
Midland, Texas-based oil, gas, and natural gas liquids (NGLs)
exploration and production (E&P) company Permian Resources Corp.
and 'BB+' issue-level rating on its unsecured debt. S&P's '3'
recovery rating on the unsecured debt is unchanged, indicating its
expectation for meaningful (50%-70%; rounded estimate: 65%)
recovery.
The positive outlook on Permian Resources reflects S&P's
expectation that its financial measures will continue improving as
it reduces debt, grows production in line with higher rated peers,
and maintains conservative financial policies. S&P expects funds
from operations (FFO) to debt above 60% over the next 24 months.
The positive outlook reflects Permian's increased scale and
improved operating efficiency in the Permian basin. Over the past
few years, the company has expanded its footprint in the Permian
basin through numerous acquisitions, including the Earthstone
acquisition in 2023, its purchase of Barilla Draw assets from
Occidental Petroleum in 2024, and its purchase of APA's assets in
2025. Incorporating its numerous bolt-on acquisitions this year,
Permian increased its net acreage position to about 475,000 and
increased its net royalty acreage to 105,000 acres, compared with
approximately 176,380 net leasehold acres and 40,000 net royaltu
acres at year-end 2022. S&P said, "Permian's ground game continues
to increase its acreage position at favorable costs and we expect
this trend to continue at least over the next 12 months. We
anticipate 2025 average production of about 394 Mboe/d.
Additionally, we expect Permian will increase its production to
more 400 Mboe/d in 2026."
Permian also continues to increase its reserve base, both through
the drillbit and acquisitions. S&P said, "Permian's reserves
totaled 1,026,957 Mboe as of year-end 2024, which represented an
11% year-over-year increase and we would expect a similar increase
in 2025 year-end reserves. Since year-end 2020, the company has
expanded its reserves by 244%. About 71% of Permian's reserves are
classified as proved developed producing (PDP), with about 45% oil
and 25% NGLs. In our view, the company's production and reserve
scale now compare favorably with 'BB' category peers." However,
Permian Resources is geographically less diverse than some
higher-rated peers, given the concentration of its assets in the
core of the Permian basin.
Permian Resources' new natural gas marketing agreements should
result in incremental free cash flow in 2026. The new natural gas
firm transportation and sales agreements, as outlined in its
third-quarter call, cover almost half of the company's 2026
expected gas production and including hedges, reduces the company's
exposure to WAHA to 25%. S&P believes this should improve overall
price realization and somewhat reduce price volatility for natural
gas.
Permian Resources maintains strong credit metrics and has a net
debt target of 0.5x-1.0x. The company financed its previous
acquisitions in a credit-friendly manner by using mostly equity and
cash on hand. Permian financed its most-recent acquisition from APA
Corp. with cash on hand. Additionally, Permian Resources continues
to reduce total debt levels with debt reduction of $634 million
year to date, including redeeming its $287 million of 2026 notes
and $170 million of convertible notes in the third quarter. S&P
said, "We would expect the company to call at par its 8% notes when
they become callable in April 2026. Under our base-case forecast,
we assume the company's FFO to debt will be above 60% while its
debt to EBITDA will be in the 0.5x-1.0x range over the next two
years."
The company has adequate liquidity, supported by the full
availability under its $2.5 billion reserve-based lending (RBL)
credit facility and almost $112 million of cash as of the end of
the third quarter. S&P said, "We expect the company will generate
significant discretionary cash over the next two years, which we
anticipate it will return less than 50% of to its shareholders via
dividends and share repurchases, while retaining the remaining
amount for general corporate purposes, which could include debt
reduction and additional acquisitions. However, we do not assume
Permian Resources will undertake any additional acquisitions under
our base case due to the uncertainty around their timing and scale.
Overall, based on continued debt reduction and capital allocation
flexibility, we believe the company's current financial policy
supports a higher rating."
S&P said, "The positive outlook on Permian Resources reflects our
expectation that its financial measures will continue to improve as
it reduces debt, grows production in line with higher rated peers,
and maintains conservative financial policies. We expect FFO to
debt above 60% through 2026.
"We could revise our outlook on Permian Resources to stable if,
contrary to our expectations, it adopts a more aggressive financial
policy such that we expect FFO to debt will be below 60% on a
sustained basis, including under our mid-cycle oil and natural gas
price assumptions of $50/bbl WTI and $2.75/mmBtu Henry Hub." This
would most likely occur if it:
-- Increases its shareholder returns concurrent with a sustained
weakening in crude oil and natural gas prices; or
-- Completes a debt-funded acquisition that results in
significantly higher leverage.
S&P could raise its rating on Permian Resources if S&P expects it
to sustain FFO to debt comfortably above 60% and debt to EBITDA
below 1.5x, even under its mid-cycle oil and natural gas price
assumptions. This would most likely occur if:
-- Crude oil and natural gas prices are consistent with our
current price deck next year;
-- The company continues to reduce total debt levels; and
-- Management maintains financial policies in line with
investment-grade peers.

PINE GATE: Claims to be Paid From Sale Proceeds
-----------------------------------------------
Pine Gate Renewables LLC and its affiliates filed with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas a Disclosure
Statement for Joint Chapter 11 Plan dated November 20, 2025.
Headquartered in Asheville, North Carolina, Pine Gate is a solar
energy company focused on the development, construction, operation,
and financing of utility-scale solar farms across the United
States.
Pine Gate's business consists of a full suite of capabilities
through the renewable energy life cycle, including development, EPC
services (construction), offtake (power sales), and O&M services
(operations and maintenance). The Company has a complex corporate
structure, consisting of a total of 880 entities, but only 119 have
filed for chapter 11 protection.
The Debtors commenced these Chapter 11 Cases to complete, under
section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, an already-pending, competitive
marketing and sale process for their assets, and then to confirm
and implement a chapter 11 plan. That process culminated in [three]
agreements for the separate sale of [three key portfolios] of the
Debtors' assets (the "363 Sale Transaction") pursuant to asset
purchase agreements (collectively, the "Asset Purchase Agreements")
by and among the Debtors, as sellers, and [], as purchasers (each,
a "Purchaser").
The Debtors intend to close the 363 Sale Transaction promptly after
entry of the 363 Sale Order and, in all events, by December 31,
2025 (subject to any extension of the applicable end date under the
applicable purchase agreement(s), including for the purpose of
obtaining necessary regulatory approvals). Under the 363 Sale
Transaction Documentation, the Successful Bidder(s) will acquire
the applicable assets free and clear of all Liens and Claims
(except for those Liens and Claims expressly assumed), and, if
applicable, will deliver the sale proceeds to the Debtors in
accordance with the terms of the 363 Sale Transaction
Documentation. All assets of the Debtors' Estates that are not sold
pursuant to the 363 Sale Transaction Documentation will be
administered by the Plan Administrator in accordance with the
Plan.
Distributions under the Plan will be made pursuant to the Waterfall
Recovery and will be funded from Cash of the Debtors on or after
the Effective Date, including the proceeds of any Retained Causes
of Action and the proceeds of all non-Cash assets of the Debtors'
Estates, after giving effect to the funding of the Professional Fee
Escrow Account and the funding of the Wind-Down Reserve. In
addition, on the Effective Date, the Plan Administrator will sign
the Plan Administration Agreement and will accept the Wind-Down
Reserve, the Professional Fee Escrow Account, and the Cash therein,
as well as the responsibility for liquidating all non-Cash assets
of the Estates, reconciling Claims, and making distributions to
creditors in accordance with the Plan.
Following the Effective Date (or as soon as reasonably practicable
thereafter), the Plan Administrator will make initial and
subsequent Distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims in accordance
with the timing and procedures in Article 7.1 of the Plan,
including the establishment and administration of Disputed Claims
Reserves under Article 8.4 and the delivery mechanics.
Class 4 consists of all General Unsecured Claims. In full and final
satisfaction, compromise, settlement, and release of its Claim
(unless the applicable Holder agrees to a less favorable
treatment), each Holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim will
receive its Pro Rata Share of the Distributable Proceeds pursuant
to the Waterfall Recovery. Class 4 is Impaired under the Plan.
Holders of General Unsecured Claims are entitled to vote on the
Plan and will receive Ballots.
Class 8 consists of all Existing Equity Interests. Holders of
Existing Equity Interests will receive no distribution on account
of their Existing Equity Interests. On the Effective Date, all
Existing Equity Interests will be canceled and extinguished and
will be of no further force or effect.
* On the Effective Date, all Existing Equity Interests will be
cancelled and one share of the Parent (the "Single Unit") will be
issued to the Plan Administrator to hold in trust as custodian for
the benefit of the former holders of Existing Equity Interests,
consistent with their former relative priority and economic
entitlements. The Single Unit will be recorded on the books and
records maintained by the Plan Administrator;
* Each former holder of Existing Equity Interests (through
their interest in the Single Unit, as applicable) will neither
receive nor retain any property of the Estate or direct interest in
property of the Estate on account of such Existing Equity
Interests; provided, that in the event that all Allowed Claims have
been satisfied in full in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and
the Plan, each former holder of Existing Equity Interests may
receive its share of any remaining assets of the Parent consistent
with such holder's rights of payment existing immediately prior to
the Petition Date. Unless otherwise determined by the Plan
Administrator, on the date that the final Chapter 11 Case is closed
in accordance with the Plan, the Single Unit issued on the
Effective Date will be deemed cancelled and of no further force and
effect; provided, that such cancellation does not adversely impact
the Estates; and
* The continuing rights of former holders of Existing Equity
Interests (including through their interest in the Single Unit or
otherwise) will be nontransferable except by operation of law, or,
subject to the Plan Administrator's consent, for administrative
transfers where the ultimate beneficiary has not changed.
The transactions contemplated by this Plan shall be approved and
effective as of the Effective Date, without the need for any
further state or local regulatory approvals or approvals by any
non-Debtor parties, and without any requirement for further action
by the Debtors, their board of directors, managers, members, their
stockholders, or any other Person or Entity.
Pursuant to the 363 Sale Order, to the extent not consummated
before the Effective Date, the acquired assets shall be transferred
to and vest in the Successful Bidder(s) free and clear of all
Liens, Claims, charges, Interests, or other encumbrances (except
for those Liens, Claims, charges, Interests, or other encumbrances
expressly assumed by the Successful Bidder(s) pursuant to the terms
of the 363 Sale Transaction Documentation) pursuant to section 363
of the Bankruptcy Code and in accordance with the terms of the 363
Sale Transaction Documentation.
In exchange, the Successful Bidder(s) shall pay to the Debtors the
sale proceeds in accordance with the terms of the 363 Sale
Transaction Documentation; provided, that with respect to the sale
of any collateral of the DIP Secured Parties or the Prepetition
Secured Parties, such proceeds shall be first applied against the
DIP Facility Claims or the Funded Debt Secured Claims, as
applicable.

PINE GATE: Seeks to Sell De Minimis Assets at Auction
-----------------------------------------------------
Pine Gate Renewables LLC and its affiliates seek permission from
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas,
Houston Division, to sell De Minimis Assets, free and clear of
liens, claims, interests, and encumbrances.
The Debtors anticipate that, during the pendency of the Chapter 11
Cases, they are likely to sell De Minimis Assets that are no longer
needed or are otherwise not useful to the Debtors’ business
operations (particularly in connection with the winddown of Debtor
Blue Ridge Power (BRP)) or that the Debtors otherwise have a
legitimate business reason to sell. The Debtors have determined, in
their business judgment, that conducting periodic De Minimis
Transactions is necessary and will be beneficial to their estates
and help maximize recoveries for creditors.
To alleviate the cost and delay associated with the filing of a
separate motion for each proposed De Minimis Transaction, the
Debtors seek approval of the De Minimis Asset Sale Procedures.
Details of the Debtors proposes procedures to sell De Minimis
Assets can be found at: https://urlcurt.com/u?l=s3Vlpw
The Debtors also seek authorization to take any action that is
reasonable or necessary to close De Minimis Transactions and to
obtain the proceeds thereof, including, without limitation, paying
reasonable and necessary fees and expenses to purchasers, agents,
brokers, auctioneers, and/or liquidators if any.
Notably, although the Debtors request authorization to sell De
Minimis Assets for a price of up to $10,000,000, the Debtors
believe that many individual transactions will, in fact, be for De
Minimis Assets with substantially less value.
The De Minimis Asset Sale Procedures comply with the notice
requirements of the Bankruptcy Code, as well as due process, by
providing the Notice Parties with an opportunity to present
objections to De Minimis Transactions over $1,000,000 and requiring
the Debtors to file notices with the Court on a quarterly basis
summarizing the De Minimis Assets Sales equal to or under
$1,000,000.
Moreover, the winddown of BRP requires the expedient disposition of
assets to minimize potential administrative costs that may
otherwise be incurred with the storage of such assets, particularly
with respect to a warehouse lease of BRP, which the Debtors hope to
reject or terminate by December 31, 2025.

QHSLAB INC: Reports $33,411 Net Income in 2025 Q3
-------------------------------------------------
QHSLab, Inc. filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reporting a net income of $33,411
for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a net
income of $49,765 for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reported
a net loss of $99,156, compared to a net income of $28,350 for the
same period in 2024.
Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and
2024, were $737,066 and $544,285, respectively. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had total
revenues of $1,987,931 and $1,505,945, respectively.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $1,734,624 in total
assets, $2,345,536 in total liabilities, and $610,912 in total
stockholders' deficit.
Liquidity is a measure of a company's ability to generate funds to
support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations,
and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis.
QHSLab disclosed that on September 30, 2025, it had current assets
totaling $428,599, including $158,391 of cash, $210,131 of accounts
receivable, $26,619 of inventory, and $33,458 related to prepaid
expenses and other current assets. At such date, the Company had
total current liabilities of $2,345,536 consisting of $301,653 in
accounts payable, $462,776 in other current liabilities and
$1,581,107 representing the current portions of outstanding loans
and convertible notes.
On December 31, 2024, the Company had current assets totaling
$420,827, including $157,168 of cash, $196,089 of accounts
receivable, $41,779 of inventory, and $25,791 related to prepaid
expenses and other current assets. At such date, the Company total
current liabilities of $2,407,308 consisting of $340,962 in
accounts payable, $343,945 in other current liabilities and
$1,722,401 representing the current portions of outstanding loans
and convertible notes.
QHSLab said, "We generated cash flows of $80,085 and $87,387 from
operations during the nine-month periods ending September 30, 2025
and 2024, respectively."
"During the third quarter of 2021, we issued a promissory note of
$750,000 in connection with our acquisition of assets related to
our AllergiEnd products and an Original Issue Discount Secured
Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $806,000
along with warrants to purchase 930,000 shares of our common stock
for aggregate consideration of $750,000. In July 2022, to
supplement our cash on hand, we issued to the holder of the First
OID Note an Original Issue Discount Secured Convertible Promissory
Note in the principal amount of $440,000 and warrants to purchase
550,000 shares of our common stock for aggregate consideration of
$400,000.
"Our obligations under the OID Notes are secured by a lien on
substantially all of our assets. All amounts outstanding under the
First OID Note and Second OID Note were payable on August 10, 2022,
and July 22, 2023, respectively. The right to exercise the warrants
issued in connection with the First OID Note expired on August 9,
2024 and the right to exercise the warrants issued in connection
with the Second OID Note expired on July 18, 2025.
"The remaining principal and interest accrued on the Acquisition
Note was $461,127 as of September 30, 2025, and we are in default
under this Note. We last received a notice of forbearance from the
holder of the Acquisition Note on March 20, 2025, in which it
reserved all of its rights. Amounts accrued as interest under the
Acquisition Note do not include interest and penalties which would
be payable if the holder of such Note elects to exercise its rights
under the default provisions of the Note.
"The outstanding principal amount and interest accrued under the
OID Notes was $1,419,075 as of September 30, 2025.
"We have accrued default interest of 18% as of December 31, 2024
for the OID Notes and continue to accrue interest on the OID Notes
at that rate. We last received a notice of forbearance from the
manager of the then holder of the OID Notes on February 19, 2024,
in which it reserved all rights it might have as a result of our
defaults under the OID Notes and the related documents between us.
On February 20, 2025 we received notices of default in respect of
the OID Notes.
"On May 12, 2025, the OID Notes were assigned to Catheter. There is
no guarantee that Catheter, the holder of the OID Notes, and the
holder of the Acquisition Note will continue to forbear from
exercising such rights as they may have to collect amounts due,
including seeking to foreclose upon such liens they may have on our
assets."
Plan of Operation and Funding:
QHSLab also disclosed that it had an accumulated deficit of
$4,430,506 at September 30, 2025, generated net losses of $99,156
and $259,239 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and the
year ended December 31, 2024, respectively, and generated cash from
operations of $80,085 in the nine months ended September 30, 2025,
and used $142,437 of cash in operations in the year ended December
31, 2024.
"We are currently in default of our obligations under our OID Notes
and the Acquisition Note. These factors, among others, raise
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern
for a reasonable period of time. Our continuation as a going
concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain necessary equity or
debt financing and ultimately from generating revenues and positive
cash flow to continue operations and, in the interim, to convince
the holders of our notes to forbear from exercising any rights they
might have as a result of our defaults."
"Our working capital requirements are expected to increase in line
with the growth of our business. We will remain highly leveraged as
we seek to expand our business. Existing working capital and
anticipated cash flows are expected to be adequate to fund our
operations over the next twelve months, provided the holders of our
notes do not initiate enforcement proceedings. If necessary, we
would seek to supplement the amounts available to fund our
operations through the issuance of debt or equity.
"In addition to using our cash to satisfy our working capital
needs, from time to time we have made payments on our outstanding
indebtedness to limit the continued growth in the amount of accrued
interest and penalties, and to retain the support of our lenders,
and may do so in the future. While the previous holder of our OID
Notes agreed to forbear from seeking to collect the amounts due, it
assigned its rights in the OID Notes to Catheter.
"To date, Catheter has not commenced actions seeking to enforce its
rights under the OID Notes and the Company has engaged in
discussions with Catheter in an effort to restructure the OID
Notes. The holder of the Acquisition Note previously agreed to
forbear from exercising such rights as it may have as a result of
our default and to date has not commenced an action seeking to
enforce its rights under the Acquisition Note. Nevertheless, at
this time, there is no guarantee the holders of the OID Notes and
Acquisition Notes will continue seeking to enforce their rights
under their notes.
"If they elect to exercise their rights, the amount of accrued
interest and penalties owed under the agreements will substantially
increase. Further, should they demand immediate payment of all
amounts currently due and, in the case of the OID Notes, exercise
rights available under the related Security Agreements, it would
have a material adverse effect on our business and jeopardize our
ability to continue operations.
"Any future effort to restructure existing indebtedness through
agreements with our current lenders to allow us to increase the
amount we can devote to expanding our operations will require the
consent of our current lenders and likely would require the
issuance of additional debt or equity securities. Should we seek to
raise additional capital to satisfy our lenders, there is no
assurance sufficient amounts will be available.
"While we are focused on our business, we intend to continually
explore our options to raise additional capital or, when available,
borrow additional funds on terms which we believe are favorable to
us. Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities
will result in dilution to our current shareholders, could require
the issuance of equity securities at prices we believe are below
our true value and could cause the price of our common stock to
decrease. Further, such securities might have rights, preferences
or privileges senior to our common stock.
"Additional borrowings could require that we grant the lenders a
security interest or other rights that impede our ability to
operate as we deem best for our shareholders. Further, any default
under a loan agreement could result in an action which could force
us to seek bankruptcy protection. Additional financing may not be
available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are
not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not
be able to maintain or expand our existing operations, take
advantage of prospective new business endeavors or opportunities,
which could significantly and materially restrict our business and
adversely impact our financial results.
"Our ability to obtain funds through the issuance of debt or equity
is dependent upon the state of the financial markets at such time
as we may seek to raise funds. The state of the capital markets may
be adversely impacted by various risks and uncertainties,
including, but not limited to future and current impacts of global
events such as wars in the Ukraine and Israel, increases in
inflation and other risks detailed in the risk factors sections
detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2024."

Tampa, Fla.-based Astra Audit & Advisory LLC, the Company's auditor
since 2024, issued a "going concern" qualification in its report
dated Mar. 28, 2025, citing that the Company has only recently
operated profitably, is highly leveraged and has only recently
begun to generate cash from operations. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going

QUEST PATENT: Widens Net Loss to $1.23MM in 2025 Q3
---------------------------------------------------
Quest Patent Research Corporation filed with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reporting
a net loss of $1,230,309 for the three months ended September 30,
2025, compared to a net loss of $591,319 for the three months ended
September 30, 2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reported
a net loss of $3,196,485, compared to a net loss of $1,469,871 for
the same period in 2024.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $11,012,559 in total
assets, $22,910,535 in total liabilities, and $11,897,976 in total
stockholders' deficit.
At September 30, 2025, the Company had current assets of
approximately $194,000 and current liabilities of approximately
$22,707,000.
Quest said, "Our current liabilities include funding liabilities of
approximately $17,799,000 payable to QPRC Finance and QF3, a
non-interest bearing total monetization proceeds obligation to
Intelligent Partners in the amount of approximately $2,797,000
under the Restructure Agreement, both of which are only payable
from money generated from the monetization of intellectual
property, loans payable of approximately $138,000, a warrant
liability of approximately $132,000, accounts payable and accrued
liabilities of approximately $133,000, and accrued interest of
approximately $1,708,000."
"As of September 30, 2025, we have an accumulated deficit of
approximately $29,579,000 and a negative working capital of
approximately $22,512,000. Other than salary and pension benefits
to our chief executive officer, we do not contemplate any other
material operating expense requiring cash in the near future other
than normal general and administrative expenses and legal fees,
including expenses relating to our status as a public company
filing reports with the SEC.
"We cannot assure you that we will be successful in generating
future revenues, in obtaining any third-party funding in connection
with any of our intellectual property portfolios or operating
expenses or that we will receive any of the proceeds of any
litigation settlements after making all required payments to
counsel and funding sources and payments to Intelligent Partners,
operating expenses, debt or equity financing or that and debt or
equity financing will be available on terms acceptable to us. We
have no credit facilities.
"Although our agreement with QF3 provides for QF3 to provide us
with funding to acquire intellectual property rights, subject to
QF3's approval, it does not provide for financing the litigation
necessary for the monetization of the intellectual property rights.
"Our agreements with QPRC Finance provide for up to $3,000,000 for
operating expenses, of which $750,000 was advanced in April 2025,
and provides for up to $7,500,000 to fund budgeted legal expenses
in connection with the monetization of the Monterey portfolio, the
purchase of which was financed by QPRC Finance Except for the
agreement with QPRC Finance, we do not have any credit facilities
or any arrangements for us to finance the litigation necessary to
monetize our intellectual property rights other than contingent fee
arrangements with counsel with respect to our pending litigation.
If we do not secure contingent representation or obtain litigation
financing, we may be unable to monetize our intellectual property.
"We cannot predict the success of any pending or future litigation.
Typically, our agreements with the funding sources provide that the
funding sources will participate in any recovery which is
generated. We believe that our financial condition, our history of
losses and negative cash flow from operations, and our low stock
price make it difficult for us to raise funds in the debt or equity
markets."
These conditions, as well as any adverse consequences which would
result from the Company's failure to meet the continued listing
requirements of the OTCQB, raise substantial doubt as to the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Although the Company may seek to raise funds and to obtain
third-party funding for litigation to enforce its intellectual
property rights, the terms and availability of such funds is
uncertain.

March 31, 2025, attached to the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, citing that the Company
has incurred significant losses and will need to raise additional
funds to meet its obligations and sustain its operations. These
conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern.
REKOR SYSTEMS: Narrows Net Loss to $4.15MM in 2025 Q3
-----------------------------------------------------
Rekor Systems, Inc. filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reporting a net loss
of $4,149,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025,
compared to a net loss of $12,646,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reported
a net loss of $23,681,000, compared to a net loss of $41,055,000
for the same period in 2024.
Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and
2024, were $14,194,000 and $10,546,000, respectively. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had total
revenues of $35,751,000 and $32,751,000, respectively.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $80,979,000 in total
assets, $44,495,000 in total liabilities, and $36,484,000 in total
stockholders' equity.
Management has assessed going concern uncertainty to determine
whether there is sufficient cash on hand, together with expected
capital raises and working capital, to assure operations for a
period of at least one year from the date these consolidated
financial statements are issued.
As part of this assessment, based on conditions that are known and
reasonably knowable to management, management has considered
various scenarios, forecasts, projections, and estimates and will
make certain key assumptions. These assumptions include, among
other factors, its ability to raise additional capital, the
expected timing and nature of the Company's programs and projected
cash expenditures and its ability to delay or curtail these
programs or expenditures to the extent management has the proper
authority to do so and considers it probable that those
implementations can be achieved within the look-forward period.
Rekor said, "We have generated losses since our inception and have
relied on cash on hand and external sources of financing to support
cash flow from operations."
"We attribute losses to non-capital expenditures related to the
scaling of existing products, development of new products and
service offerings and marketing efforts associated with these
products and services. As of and for the nine months ended
September 30, 2025, we had working capital of $6,959,000 and a net
loss of $23,681,000.
"Our cash decreased by $1,918,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2025 primarily due to the net loss of $23,681,000,
this amount was partially offset by external financing activity."
On February 10, 2025, the Company entered into an At Market
Issuance Sales Agreement with Northland Securities, Inc., pursuant
to which the Company may, from time to time, offer and sell shares
of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, having
an aggregate offering price of up to $25,000,000.
The Agent is entitled to receive from the Company a commission in
an amount equal to:
(i) 3% of the gross sales price per share sold through it as
agent in agency transactions and
(ii) 6% of the purchase price per share sold to the Agent, as
principal in principal transactions.
The Company incurred issuance costs of approximately $245,000
related to legal, accounting, and other fees in connection with the
Sales Agreement. These costs were charged against the gross
proceeds of the Sales Agreement and presented as a reduction to
additional paid-in capital on the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets.
On August 12, 2025, the Company elected to voluntarily terminate
its Sales Agreement.
As of September 30, 2025 the Company issued 18,888,832 shares of
its common stock at a weighted average selling price of $1.23 per
share in accordance with the Sales Agreement.
Net cash provided from the Sales Agreement was $22,350,000 after
paying $245,000 related to the issuance cost, as well as 3.0% or
$699,000 related to cash commissions provided to the Agent.
Based on the Company's current business plan assumptions and the
expected cash burn rate, the Company believes that the existing
cash is insufficient to fund its current level of operations. These
factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern for the next 12 months.
The Company's ability to generate positive operating results and
execute its business strategy will depend on:
(i) Its ability to continue the growth of its customer base,
(ii) its ability to continue to improve its quarterly financial
metrics such as net loss and cash used from operating activities
(iii) the continued performance of its contractors,
subcontractors and vendors,
(iv) its ability to maintain and build good relationships with
investors, lenders and other financial intermediaries,
(v) its ability to maintain timely collections from existing
customers, and
(vi) the ability to scale its business processes.
To the extent that events outside the Company's control have a
significant negative impact on economic and/or market conditions,
they could affect payments from customers, services and supplies
from vendors, its ability to continue to secure and implement new
business, raise capital, and otherwise, depending on the severity
of such impact, materially adversely affect its operating results.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company did not have any material
commitments for capital expenditures.

REVIVA PHARMACEUTICALS: Reports $4 Million Net Loss in 2025 Q3
--------------------------------------------------------------
Reviva Pharmaceuticals Holdings, Inc. filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission its Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2025.
The Company disclosed that it has incurred losses since inception
and as of September 30, 2025, the Company had a working capital
surplus of approximately $3.8 million, an accumulated deficit of
$180.8 million and cash and cash equivalents on hand of
approximately $13.2 million.
The Company's net loss for the three months ended September 30,
2025 and 2024, was approximately $4.0 million and $8.4 million,
respectively.
The Company's net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2025
and 2024, was approximately $16.5 million and $23.7 million,
respectively.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $14.3 million in total
assets, $9.8 million in total liabilities, and $4.5 million in
total stockholders' equity.
The Company expects to incur significant expenses and increased
operating losses for the next several years. Furthermore, the
Company expects its expenses to increase in connection with its
ongoing activities to research, develop and commercialize its
product candidates.
The Company will need to generate significant revenues to achieve
profitability, and it may never do so.
The Company's current cash on hand is not sufficient to satisfy its
operating cash needs for the 12 months from the filing of the
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The Company believes that it has adequate cash on hand to cover
anticipated outlays into the second quarter of 2026 but will need
additional fundraising activities and cash on hand during the 2026
fiscal year. The Company has based this estimate, however, on
assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and could spend available
financial resources much faster than it currently expects.
The Company will need to raise additional funds to continue funding
its development efforts and operations. The Company intends to
secure such additional funding, although there are no guarantees or
commitments for additional funding. These conditions raise
substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern for at least 12 months.
The amount and timing of the Company's future funding requirements
will depend on many factors, including the pace and results of the
Company's clinical development efforts. The Company will seek to
fund its operations through public or private equity or debt
financings or other sources, which may include collaborations with
third parties.
Adequate additional financing may not be available to the Company
on acceptable terms, or at all.
Should the Company be unable to raise sufficient additional
capital, the Company may be required to undertake cost-cutting
measures including delaying, discontinuing certain clinical
activities or ceasing operations.

RITE AID: Judge Plans to Confirm Ch.11 Plan Over Trustee Objection
------------------------------------------------------------------
Ben Zigterman of Law360 reports that a New Jersey bankruptcy judge
announced he would approve drug store chain Rite Aid's Chapter 11
plan after dismissing the U.S. Trustee's challenge to the plan's
opt-out process for obtaining creditor approval of third-party
releases. The court concluded that the solicitation procedures
complied with applicable law and did not improperly force creditor
participation.
The ruling clears the way for Rite Aid to proceed with its
reorganization strategy, which includes operational restructuring
and liability management. The plan’s confirmation brings the
company closer to completing its bankruptcy proceedings and
advancing its turnaround efforts, the report states.

The Court has authorized the Debtor to sell approximately 1.79
acres of the 4.77-acre Spruce Property (Parcel) to the City of

SANCHEZ ENERGY: SCOTUS Refuses Review of Double-Dip Challenge
-------------------------------------------------------------
Rick Archer of Law360 reports that the U.S. Supreme Court on
Monday, November 24, 2025, declined to hear a challenge accusing a
Texas bankruptcy judge of allowing unsecured creditors to
"double-dip" on their recoveries in the Chapter 11 case of bankrupt
oil driller Sanchez Energy. The petitioners argued that the judge
wrongly approved a restructuring plan that handed control of the
company to unsecured creditors while permitting them additional
recoveries on their claims.
By rejecting the petition, the Supreme Court left intact the Fifth
Circuit's ruling that found no error in the plan's distribution
structure. The high court's decision effectively ends the dispute
and affirms the lower courts' determinations regarding the
treatment of creditor claims in Sanchez Energy's bankruptcy.

SPEAR SECURITY: Gets Interim OK to Use Cash Collateral
------------------------------------------------------
Spear Security Operations, LLC got the green light from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida, Jacksonville
Division, to use cash collateral.
At the recent hearing, the court authorized the Debtor's interim
use of cash collateral and set a further hearing for December 16.
Spear Security Operations had executed multiple pre-bankruptcy
loans with various merchant cash advance lenders, pledging accounts
receivable, chattel paper, contracts, cash, and other assets as
collateral. These loans, however, were all at least one month
delinquent, with amounts owed ranging from approximately $15,000 to
$217,500.
The Debtor argues that under applicable state law -- New York law
for three of the loans and Arizona law for one -- the interest
rates charged were usurious and therefore unenforceable.
Specifically, the New York loans exceed the 25% criminal usury
limit, and the Arizona loan lacked an interest rate disclosure,
limiting it to 10%, meaning the Debtor argues these liens should be
treated as unsecured for the purposes of the bankruptcy case.
The Debtor estimates the value of cash and accounts receivable at
roughly $171,261 and intends to use these funds to meet
post-petition obligations such as payroll, taxes, inventory, and
equipment costs.
To protect secured creditors, the Debtor offers to grant them a
post-petition replacement lien on any future cash collateral.

SPIRIT AIRLINES: Cuts Services Amid Management's Future Doubts
--------------------------------------------------------------
Shannon Power of The U.S. Sun reports that Spirit Airlines is
confronting a precarious future, with executives admitting there is
"substantial doubt" over whether the airline can remain
operational. Its parent company, Spirit Aviation Holdings, has
already filed for bankruptcy twice this 2025 and has warned it may
not survive into the new year.
The Florida-based carrier recently eliminated around 150 salaried
positions as part of broader cost-cutting efforts. Additional
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission reiterated the
company's uncertainty about its ability to continue as a going
concern, highlighting the ongoing financial strain, according to
report.
Operational reductions have been extensive, with about 330 pilots
previously furloughed and another 270 planned for furlough in
November 2025. An additional 170 pilots will be removed from
schedules during the first three months of 2026, and the airline
has ceased operations at five more airports, affecting cities such
as Salt Lake City, Milwaukee, and San Diego, the report states.
Executives have also agreed to significant pay cuts to reduce
costs, aligning leadership reductions with those negotiated with
pilots. Spirit CEO Dave Davis noted the broader impact of the
airline's potential exit from the U.S. market, emphasizing the
carrier's role in keeping air travel affordable. Despite efforts to
modernize its offerings, including roomier seats and expanded fare
packages, the airline continues to struggle to attract passengers
willing to pay higher prices, according to report.

ST. PAUL CONSERVATORY: S&P Downgrades ICR to 'B', Outlook Negative
------------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings lowered its long-term rating to 'B' from 'B+' on
St. Paul Housing and Redevelopment Authority, Minn.'s outstanding
lease revenue debt issued for St. Paul Conservatory for Performing
Artists (SPCPA).
The outlook is negative.
S&P said, "The downgrade and negative outlook reflect our view of
persistent declines in enrollment, which have led to a shrinking
operating base and leave the school's financial operations highly
susceptible to unexpected fluctuations in enrollment.
"We believe SPCPA is affected by shifts in the downtown St. Paul
area, including a decline in student aged population, heightened
safety concerns, and decreases in public transportation access,
which the school has historically relied on for student commuting.
We view the heightened safety concerns and shrinking student-aged
population declines in the area as social capital risk factors that
could further pressure enrollment. We analyzed the school's
environmental and governance factors and consider them neutral in
our analysis.
"The negative outlook reflects our view of continued enrollment
declines, including missed enrollment targets for fall 2024 and
fall 2025, which have significantly pressured the operating budget.
In our view, if enrollment continues to miss budgeted levels,
management has very limited flexibility to adjust operations, which
could affect its ability to meet budget expectations and result in
a lower rating over the one-year outlook period.
"We could consider a lower rating if enrollment declines continue
without indication of stabilization, or if operating performance
weakens below budgeted projections such that liquidity
deteriorates. We could also lower the rating if there are any
notable risks to the charter standing as the school approaches its
next renewal in 2026.
"We could consider revising the outlook to stable if enrollment is
maintained at least at management's target of 300 students,
supporting a stable market position, and if financial projections,
which include modest operating surpluses and lease-adjusted maximum
annual debt service (MADS) coverage above covenant levels, are
achieved and sustained, alongside current liquidity metrics."
STATELINE HOLDINGS: Claims to be Paid from Rental Income
--------------------------------------------------------
Stateline Holdings, LLC, filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Colorado a Disclosure Statement to accompany Plan
of Reorganization.
The Debtor is a holding company for real estate in Dove Creek
Colorado. The real estate is comprised of land and improvement on
the land.
The Debtor leases land to State Line Bar&Grill which operates a
restaurant on the property. State Line Bar&Grill employs 10 people
or little over 1% of the population of Dove Creek. The bankruptcy
was prompted by a foreclosure commenced by First Southwest Bank.
The loan has come due. The foreclosure would result in the closing
of the restaurant, loss of jobs, and the equity in the land.
The Plan provides for the reorganization of the Debtor under
Chapter 11 of the Code. Pursuant to the Plan, the Debtor will
restructure its debts and obligations. The Debtor will fund the
Plan through its disposable income earned from ongoing business
operations. Following the Effective Date of the Plan, the Debtor
will deposit its disposable income into the Unsecured Creditors
Account for a period of five years and will distribute such funds
to unsecured creditors on a monthly basis.
Holders of Class 4 Allowed General Unsecured Claims shall share on
a Pro Rata basis money deposited by the Debtor into the Unsecured
Creditor Account after the satisfaction of Allowed Administrative
Claims for the five-year term of the Plan.
Class 5 includes the Interests in the Debtor. Upon confirmation of
the Plan, the interest holders in the Debtor shall continue to
maintain their interests in the Debtor.
The Debtor believes that the Plan, as proposed, is feasible. The
funding for the Plan will come from the Debtor's continued
collection of rent. The Debtor will be able to pay its
Administrative Claims from cash they have on hand on the Effective
Date of the Plan and from the Unsecured Creditor Account if
necessary.
Counsel for the Debtor may agree to reduce its claim to assure
feasibility of the Plan. Tenant will pay rent of $3,360 plus
insurance and taxes, which will provide sufficient funds to service
the secured debt and pay the $100 a month to unsecured creditors.

2025 is available at https://urlcurt.com/u?l=LsH5Dt from

STEWARD HEALTH: Trustee Broadens Case Against Insiders, Ex-CEO
--------------------------------------------------------------
James Nani of Bloomberg Law reports that the trustee for bankrupt
Steward Health Care System LLC has expanded his misconduct claims
against former executives, including former CEO Ralph de la Torre,
as he pushes to recover at least $3.4 billion on behalf of
creditors. The updated filing accuses the insiders of decisions
that allegedly weakened the company financially and operationally.
Trustee Mark Kronfeld pointed to a $790 million dividend stemming
from a 2016 sale-leaseback arrangement with Medical Properties
Trust, which he claims left Steward undercapitalized and operating
as a "zombie hospital chain." Though the litigation cannot reverse
hospital closures or restore services, Kronfeld said it could
expose the conduct that contributed to Steward's downfall, the
report states.
About Steward Health Care
Steward Health Care System, LLC, owns and operates the largest
private physician-owned for-profit healthcare network in the U.S.
Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, Steward's operations include 31
hospitals in eight states, approximately 400 facility locations,
4,500 primary and specialty care physicians, 3,600 staffed beds,
and nearly 30,000 employees. Steward Health Care provides care to
more than two million patients annually.
Steward and 166 affiliated debtors filed Chapter 11 petitions
(Bankr. S.D. Texas Lead Case No. 24-90213) on May 6, 2024. Judge
Christopher M. Lopez oversees the proceeding.
The Debtors tapped Weil, Gotshal & Manges, LLP as bankruptcy
counsel; McDermott Will & Emery as special corporate and regulatory
counsel; AlixPartners, LLP as financial advisor and John Castellano
of AlixPartners as chief restructuring officer. Lazard Freres & Co.
LLC, Leerink Partners LLC, and Cain Brothers, a division of KeyBanc
Capital Markets Inc., provide investment banking services to the
Debtors. Kroll is the claims agent.
Susan N. Goodman has been appointed as patient care ombudsman in
the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases.

TMK HAWK: S&P Affirms 'CCC+' Rating on Weaker Performance
---------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings affirmed its ratings, including its 'CCC+'
issuer credit rating on Massachusetts-based food service equipment
distributor TMK Hawk Parent Corp. (TriMark) and its 'CCC+'
issue-level ratings on the company's tranche A and tranche B term
loans.
The negative outlook reflects S&P's expectation of continued
unfavorable conditions within the foodservice industry and,
therefore, the potential for a downgrade if TriMark is unable to
continue to improve performance amid a challenging operating
environment, straining cash generation and reducing the likelihood
that it will be able to refinance its revolving credit facility
maturing in early 2027.
TriMark reported weaker-than-expected performance in the first half
of fiscal 2025 (ended June 27, 2025) amid tariff-related demand
disruptions, and S&P does not expect them to fully recover lost
sales and earnings this year.
However, the company maintains sufficient liquidity to navigate its
weaker outlook this year, including more than $100 million
available under its asset-based lending (ABL) facility and a $25
million undrawn super senior facility.
TriMark's liquidity position provides some runway to stabilize its
operating performance following recent headwinds. The company's
performance was meaningfully below budget through the first half of
fiscal 2025 as tariff-related news impacted demand from its
national chain customers, which make up more than half of its
sales. Sales and reported EBITDA came in 8% and 36% below
expectations, largely driven by weakness in the second quarter.
TriMark also faces increasing cash requirements over the next 12
months. It is now subject to quarterly amortization requirements of
$0.5 million under its term loans. In addition, the partial
pay-in-kind (PIK) feature under its term loans expires at the end
of fiscal 2025 and will increase its annual cash interest expense
by upwards of $6 million.
However, the company ended the second quarter with $140 million in
total liquidity, nearly $90 million higher than the prior year
period. Its liquidity position consists of $105 million available
for borrowing under its $320 million ABL revolving credit facility,
an undrawn $25 million super senior facility (available to draw
before October 2026), and $11 million of cash on balance sheet. S&P
said, "We also forecast S&P Global Ratings-adjusted cash interest
coverage of about 1.7x-1.8x (about 0.7x-1x on a reported basis)
through 2026. We expect its liquidity will modestly contract in the
second half of the year as demand recovers and causes working
capital benefits to unwind. Though its cushion is thinning amid
increasing cash requirements and weak cash flow, we think its
liquidity is sufficient to navigate the next 12 months."
S&P said, "We continue to forecast high leverage and negative free
operating cash flow (FOCF) amid weaker demand and a delay in its
profitability improvement. We forecast S&P Global Ratings-adjusted
leverage will remain around 10x-12x through fiscal 2026. We believe
delayed restaurant openings and fewer large-ticket purchases by
operators will challenge the company's ability to drive sales
growth and restore profitability and positive cash generation. We
now expect sales will decline in the mid-single-digit percent range
in fiscal 2025, versus our previous expectations for a 1% decline,
and remain roughly flat in fiscal 2026. Consequently, we revised
downward our S&P Global Ratings-adjusted EBITDA margin expectation
to 2.5% and 3% in fiscal years 2025 and 2026, respectively. This is
about 50 basis points below our previous forecast. Still, this
represents a meaningful improvement from the past two years of
negligible S&P Global Ratings-adjusted EBITDA, driven by a
deliberate shift to higher-margin business, more diligent
contracting, and cost containment efforts.
"We expect the company's improved profitability year over year and
working capital efficiencies will enable it to significantly narrow
its FOCF deficit to about $7 million in fiscal 2025 compared with
$45 million in fiscal 2024. Nonetheless, we continue to view this
level of profitability and FOCF as insufficient to sustain the
current capital structure.
"We believe TriMark's operations in the niche and cyclical food
service equipment distribution industry carry additional risks.
Though TriMark is the second-largest food service equipment
distributor in North America, the industry remains intensely
competitive and exposed to volatility in consumer spending
patterns. Roughly two-thirds of the company's revenues come from
equipment sales, which is dependent upon new restaurant openings,
resupply, and remodels, which in turn depends on consumer spending
patterns, which have been pressured by broad-based inflation.
TriMark is also exposed to fluctuations in commodity and labor
costs, which may lead to swings in profitability, posing a further
risk.
"The negative outlook reflects unfavorable conditions within the
food service industry and, therefore, the potential we would lower
our rating on Trimark if the company is unable to continue
improving performance amid a challenging operating environment and
extend its ABL maturity, straining cash generation and its
liquidity position.
"We could lower our rating on TriMark if we anticipate a liquidity
shortfall that would cause us to envision a specific default
scenario over the subsequent 12 months, including a payment
default. We could also lower the rating if we believe the company
is likely to pursue a distressed exchange. This could occur if the
company faces elevated refinancing risk stemming from further
operating disruption due to weaker customer demand, tariff-related
cost pressures, or operating missteps, leading to sustained FOCF
deficits."
S&P could take a positive rating action on TriMark if it:
-- Stabilizes sales and improves profitability, meaningfully
reducing leverage;
-- Consistently generates sufficient cash flow to cover its debt
service requirements and growth initiatives, while reducing
reliance on its ABL; and
-- Faces no near- to medium-term maturities that S&P believes it
may be challenged to refinance.
TOPGOLF CALLAWAY: S&P Places 'B' ICR on CreditWatch Positive
------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings placed all ratings on Carlsbad, Calif.-based
Topgolf Callaway Brands Corp. (TCB), including its 'B'
issuer-credit rating, on CreditWatch with positive rating
implications.
Resolution of the CreditWatch will focus on its assessment of the
financial risk profile post-debt paydown and its expectation for
financial policies at the remaining business. It will also address
the impact to the business risk profile due to the remaining
company's smaller scale and limited diversification.
TCB announced it will divest a 60% stake in Topgolf and use the
proceeds to materially reduce outstanding debt. As of the third
quarter ended Sept. 30, 2025, TCB's S&P Global Ratings-adjusted
leverage was approximately 5.1x, a meaningful improvement from 6.1x
in the prior-year period. S&P said, "Pro forma for the transaction,
we estimate TCB's adjusted leverage could decline well below 4x,
though this will depend significantly on our assessment of the
company's business risk profile and the extent to which available
cash is netted against funded debt. This projection incorporates
the expected deployment of approximately $770 million in net
proceeds toward debt repayment, along with a substantial reduction
in both finance and operating lease obligations."
TCB also maintained a strong liquidity position as of the third
quarter of 2025, with roughly $866 million of balance-sheet cash
that could be available for further deleveraging or shareholder
returns. Importantly, the transaction is not contingent upon
financing; LGP has secured the necessary commitments, which
meaningfully reduces execution risk. In addition, transition
services agreements will support an orderly separation, helping
ensure operational continuity for both TCB and Topgolf during the
handover period.
The partial asset sale reduces TCB's overall scale and business
diversification. Although the transaction materially strengthens
the balance sheet, the remaining stand-alone enterprise will be a
smaller, more focused participant in a competitive golf equipment
market that remains sensitive to broader macroeconomic conditions.
TCB's core brands—Callaway, Odyssey, TravisMathew, and
Ogio—generated approximately $2 billion in revenue over the 12
months ended Sept. 30, 2025, down from roughly $4 billion on a
consolidated basis when Topgolf was included. The company continues
to face significant competitive pressures from established global
players such as Acushnet, TaylorMade, Ping, Puma, Mizuno, and
Bridgestone, necessitating ongoing product innovation to sustain
and grow market share. In the golf ball category specifically, TCB
trails Acushnet, holding an estimated 20% share versus Acushnet's
roughly 50%. Effectively navigating these competitive dynamics and
external macroeconomic sensitivities will be critical to supporting
TCB's long-term operating performance and overall credit profile.
The divestiture meaningfully reduces operational complexity and
removes TCB's exposure to the highly discretionary
entertainment-venue segment. Since its acquisition in March 2021,
the Topgolf business has been a persistent drag on consolidated
operating performance. As of the third quarter of 2025, same-venue
sales increased a modest 1% quarter over quarter, reflecting
incremental traffic improvements tied to newly implemented value
initiatives. TCB originally acquired Topgolf through a $2 billion
all-stock transaction completed during the pandemic; however, the
venue-driven model has since come under significant pressure due to

UBA BROCKTON: Gets Interim OK to Use Cash Collateral
----------------------------------------------------
UBA Brockton, LLC received interim approval from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts to use cash
collateral and provide adequate protection to its sole secured
creditor, Everwise Credit Union.
The court authorized the Debtor to use cash collateral through
December 10 in accordance with its budget.
As adequate protection, Everwise Credit Union will be granted a
replacement lien on the Debtor's post-petition assets to compensate
for any diminution in collateral value. This lien is deemed
perfected automatically without further filings.
The interim is available at https://is.gd/fID6TR from
PacerMonitor.com.
The next hearing will be held on December 9.
The Debtor, which operates a 52,000-square-foot Urban Air Adventure
Park in Brockton, Massachusetts and acquired the Westgate Facility
in March for approximately $5.2 million, financed primarily by a
$4.6 million SBA 7(a) loan from the Bank, and assumed joint
liability on the facility lease with the franchisor.
Shortly after opening, the Debtor's operations were severely
disrupted by a tragic shooting near the facility, which resulted in
the deaths of two teenagers and delayed reopening until April 12,
2025. This incident negatively impacted revenues, which fell far
short of initial projections. From April through October 2025,
monthly revenues ranged from approximately $138,000 to $201,000,
significantly below the anticipated $400,000 per month. To maintain
operations during this period, the Debtor deferred lease payments,
royalty obligations, and loan payments, prompting tensions with the
landlord and franchisor, including an erroneous termination notice
of the franchise agreement.
As of the petition date, the Debtor's assets included $15,000 in
cash, the Westgate Facility (book value $5.2 million), the
franchise agreement, and the lease. Its liabilities include a
secured claim of $4,626,800 owed to the Bank, prepetition vendor
debts of $15,000, and potential reimbursement claims by the
franchisor for rent and equipment payments. The Debtor employs over
80 part-time staff and two managers, with biweekly payroll
averaging $34,000.
About UBA Brockton LLC
UBA Brockton, LLC doing business as Urban Air Trampoline &
Adventure Park, operates an indoor entertainment center at 435

for families, parties, and group events, with ticketed access and

The Debtor sought protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. D. Mass. Case No. 25-12422) on November 7,
2025. In the petition signed by Thomas Ng, manager, the Debtor
disclosed up to $10 million in both assets and liabilities.

Debtor as legal counsel.
UNIQUE THIRD: Gets Interim OK to Use Cash Collateral
----------------------------------------------------
Unique Third Avenue, LLC and its affiliates received interim
approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District
of New York to use cash collateral to fund operations.
The court authorized the Debtors to use the cash collateral of Bank
of America, N.A. for the limited purpose of meeting their payroll
obligations and associated payroll taxes and vendor deductions as
follows: (i) Third Avenue Imaging LLC, up to $109,116.15 as of
November 21, (ii) Unique Imaging Services LLC, up to $25,000 as of
November 28; and Distinguished Diagnostic Imaging P.C., up to
$39,150 as of November 28. No disbursements will be made to Joel
Reisman or Chaya Reisman during this period.
This authorization will expire on December 3, unless further
extended by agreement of the Debtors and Bank of America or by
order of the court.
As adequate protection, Bank of America will be granted a
replacement lien on the Debtors' post-petition assets and their
proceeds to the extent of any diminution in the value of its
collateral, subject only to the carveout for U.S. Trustee fees.
Bank of America's objection to the Debtors' use of cash collateral
filed on November 18 remains in full force and effect.
The Debtors previously entered into financing arrangements with
multiple lenders that hold various liens on their assets. Bank of
America appears to hold a first-priority blanket lien arising from
a mortgage on Unique Third Avenue's real property and from business
loans funding the Debtors' radiology practices. The radiology
entities also operate under equipment leases that the Debtors
believe are in substance purchase-money secured transactions giving
the sellers senior security interests in certain equipment. In
addition, the Debtors obtained secured SBA loans, and other parties
may assert liens as well.

UNITED RENTAL: S&P Rates New $1.5BB Senior Unsecured Notes 'BB+'
----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'BB+' issue-level rating and '4'
recovery rating to the proposed $1.5 billion senior unsecured notes
issued by United Rentals Inc.'s (URI) subsidiary United Rentals
(North America) Inc. (URNA). The '4' recovery rating indicates its
expectation for average (30%-50%; rounded estimate: 45%) recovery
in the event of a default. The company will use proceeds from this
issuance to repay its $500 million 5.5% senior unsecured notes due
2027 and a portion of the outstanding balance on its $4.5 billion
asset-based lending (ABL) credit facility (approximately $2.6
billion outstanding as of Sept. 30, 2025). S&P does not expect the
transaction will materially affect URI's credit profile.
S&P said, "All our ratings on URI, including the 'BB+' issuer
credit rating and our issue-level and recovery ratings on URNA's
debt, are unchanged.
"The stable outlook on URI reflects our expectation its S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted debt to EBITDA will be in the low-2x area over the
next 12 months amid a continued favorable rental demand
environment. Although we do not forecast a downturn, URI has the
capacity to absorb a potential cyclical decline in the equipment
rental market, which we believe could increase its S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted leverage by about a turn."
Issue Ratings--Recovery Analysis
Key analytical factors
-- S&P's simulated default scenario considers an unexpected and
drastic downturn in the nonresidential construction industry that
severely strains the company's equipment usage, rental rates,
revenue, and cash flow.
-- Although S&P believes URI would likely reorganize after a
default, it uses a discrete asset value (DAV) approach to analyze
the lenders' recovery prospects, as it does for most large general
equipment rental providers.
S&P said, "Our DAV approach starts with the net book value of the
company's assets as of Sept. 30, 2025. We assume its balance sheet
accounts are partially diluted to reflect the estimated loss of
appraised value through additional depreciation or expected
contraction in working capital assets leading up to the
hypothetical default. We then apply realization rates to the
assets, reflecting the friction of selling or discounts potential
buyers or restructurers would apply in distressed circumstances.
"We assume realization rates of 75% for rental equipment, 80% for
unsold accounts receivable (we exclude the assets and liabilities
related to URI's accounts receivable special-purpose entity), 65%
for inventory, and 40% for other property and nonrental
equipment."
Simulated default assumptions
-- Simulated year of default: 2030
-- Jurisdiction: U.S.
-- ABL facility: 60% drawn at default. S&P assumes the company
uses a portion of the incremental draw to purchase rental
equipment.
-- Debt amounts include six months of prepetition interest.
Simplified waterfall
-- Gross enterprise value: $10.25 billion
-- Net enterprise value (after 5% administrative expenses): $9.74
billion
-- Collateral/noncollateral valuation split: 89%/11%
-- Value distributed to priority claims (ABL) and claims at
nonguarantor subsidiaries: $2.73 billion
-- Collateral value available to first-lien lenders: $6.75
billion
-- First-lien debt facilities (secured term loan and first-lien
secured notes): $2.51 billion
--Recovery expectations: 90%-100% (rounded estimate: 95%)
-- Collateral value available to second-lien noteholders: $4.25
billion
-- Secured second-lien notes: $765 million
--Recovery expectations: 90%-100% (rounded estimate: 95%)
-- Total value available to unsecured claims: $3.74 billion
-- Total unsecured debt: $7.78 billion
--Recovery expectations: 30%-50% (rounded estimate: 45%)
US MAGNESIUM: Seeks to Sell Gas Turbine at Auction
--------------------------------------------------
US Magnesium LLC seeks approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Delaware to sell turbine auction, free and clear of
liens, claims, interests, and encumbrances.
Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtor attempted to sell the Asset.
Specifically, the Debtor made inquiries to the original
manufacturer. The Debtor also engaged with contacts at Rocky
Mountain Power regarding potential customer needs. Limited interest
from these initial efforts prompted the Debtor to reach out to
equipment sales groups to gather potential options and as a result,
the Debtor signed a marketing agreement in April of 2025 with
Phoenix Equipment to pursue a sale. There were several initial
proposals from Phoenix clients that could not be completed due to
financing obstacles.
As a result of those marketing efforts, the Debtor and The Max
Henry Group, LLC d/b/a Quantum Technology, as purchaser, (Stalking
Horse Bidder) have entered into the Stalking Horse Bid, dated as of
November 21, 2025.
The Stalking Horse Bidder proposes to purchase a 26MW GE Frame 5PA
(MS5001) gas turbine for $7,000,000.00, which will serve as a
competitive baseline of recovery for the Debtor’s stakeholders.
The Debtor now seeks authority to market test the transaction
contemplated by the Stalking Horse Agreement to ensure that the
Debtor obtains the highest or otherwise best offer for the Asset.
Details of the Stalking Horse Agreement can be found at
https://urlcurt.com/u?l=Zch4sD.
To optimally and expeditiously solicit, receive, and evaluate bids
in a fair and accessible manner, the Debtor has developed and
proposed the Bid Procedures.
-- Asset and Purchase Price: Each Bid must be a bid to purchase the
Asset, and must
clearly state the Purchase Price to be paid.
-- Deposit: Each Bid, other than the Stalking Horse Bid, must be
accompanied by a cash deposit in the amount equal to five percent
(5%) of the aggregate cash purchase price of the Bid to be held in
an interest-bearing escrow account to be identified and established
by the Debtor
-- Minimum Bid: The aggregate cash consideration proposed by each
Bid must equal, or exceed, the Initial Minimum Overbid, which is
$7,500,000.
-- Bid Deadline. Each bid must be transmitted via email (in .pdf or
similar format) or other means so as to be actually received by the
Debtor, counsel to the Debtor, the Committee Representatives, the
Stalking Horse Bidder, and counsel to the Stalking Horse Bidder on
or before January 9, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. (ET)
-- The Auction. If the Debtor does not receive a Qualified Bid, the
Debtor, in consultation with the Committee Representatives, will
not conduct the Auction and shall designate the Stalking Horse
Bidder’s Qualified Bid as the Successful Bid.
-- Bidding Increments. Any Overbid following the initial Minimum
Overbid or following any subsequent Prevailing Highest Bid shall be
in increments of $250,000.
The Debtor submits that the Sale Notice is reasonably calculated to
provide all interested parties with timely and proper notice of the
proposed Sale.
The Debtor submits that the proposed Bid Procedures will encourage
competitive bidding, are appropriate under the relevant standards
governing auction proceedings and bidding incentives in bankruptcy
proceeding.

US NUCLEAR: Needs Additional to Finalize Q3 Financial Statements
----------------------------------------------------------------
US Nuclear Corp. filed a Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, informing that is
unable to file, without unreasonable effort or expense, its Form
10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2025.
US Nuclear says additional time is needed for the Company to
compile and analyze supporting documentation in order to complete
the Form 10-Q and in order to permit the Company's independent
registered public accounting firm to complete its review of the
consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-Q.
The Company intends to file the Form 10-Q as soon as possible.
About US Nuclear
US Nuclear Corp. is engaged in developing, manufacturing, and
selling radiation detection and measuring equipment. The Company
markets and sells its products to consumers throughout the world.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $2.51 million in total assets,
$2.26 million in total liabilities, and $750,702 in total
stockholders' deficit.
Spokane, Wash.-based Fruci & Associates II, PLLC, the Company's
auditor since 2019, issued a "going concern" qualification in its
report dated June 24, 2025, attached to the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, citing
that the Company has an accumulated deficit and net losses. These
factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.
VENUS CONCEPT: Widens Net Loss to $22.5 Million in 2025 Q3
----------------------------------------------------------
Venus Concept Inc. filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reporting a net loss
of $22.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025,
compared to a net loss of $9.3 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reported
a net loss of $46.7 million, compared to a net loss of $39 million
for the same period in 2024.
Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and
2024, were $13.8 million and $15 million, respectively. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had
total revenues of $43.1 million and $49.1 million, respectively.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $61.6 million in total
assets, $58.5 million in total liabilities, and $2.7 million in
total stockholders' equity.
The Company has had recurring net operating losses and negative
cash flows from operations. As of September 30, 2025 and December
31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $355.5 million
and $308.9 million, respectively, though, the Company was in
compliance with all required covenants as of September 30, 2025,
and December 31, 2024.
The Company's recurring losses from operations and negative cash
flows raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern within the next 12 months.
The global economy, including the financial and credit markets, has
recently experienced extreme volatility and disruptions, including
increasing inflation rates, rising interest rates, foreign currency
impacts, trade disruptions due to tariff rate increases or proposed
increases, declines in consumer confidence, and declines in
economic growth.
All these factors point to uncertainty about economic stability,
and the severity and duration of these conditions on the Company's
business cannot be predicted, and the Company cannot assure that it
will remain in compliance with the financial covenants contained
within its credit facilities.
In order to continue its operations, the Company must achieve
profitable operations and/or obtain additional equity or debt
financing.
Until the Company achieves profitability, management plans to fund
its operations and capital expenditures with cash on hand,
borrowings, and issuance of capital stock. Additionally, until the
Company generates revenue at a level to support its cost structure,
the Company expects to continue to incur substantial operating
losses and net cash outflows from operating activities.
Given the economic uncertainty in U.S. and international markets,
the Company cannot anticipate the extent to which the current
financial market conditions and trade disruptions will continue to
adversely impact the Company's business and the Company may need
additional capital to fund its future operations and to access the
capital markets sooner than planned. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be successful in raising additional capital or
that such capital, if available, will be on terms that are
acceptable to the Company.
If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional capital, it
may be compelled to reduce the scope of its operations and planned
capital expenditures or sell certain assets, including intellectual
property assets.
Management Commentary:
"Our third quarter results reflect our continued solid execution in
a difficult environment for all companies," said Rajiv De Silva,
Chief Executive Officer of Venus Concept. "Our focus remains on
positioning the Company for long-term success by managing our cash
burn and making targeted investments to support our future growth.
We are very encouraged by the signs of stabilization in our EBD
business. We were especially pleased to announce FDA 510(k)
clearance for our new Venus NOVA on November 10th the first product
launch from our new, focused R&D strategy. We are targeting
sequential growth in the fourth quarter fueled, in part, by a
limited commercial launch of this innovative new body and skin
system in December. Our balance sheet and capital structure
transformation carried on this quarter through multiple
transactions including amendments to increase available financing
capacity under our existing bridge loan facility and a
debt-to-equity exchange transaction totaling $11.5 million in
converted debt. While the global macro environment continues to
challenge the aesthetics market, the Venus team is engaged, focused
and determined. We continue to appreciate the support of Madryn
Asset Management, LP as we continue our turnaround."
Mr. De Silva continued: "Since we announced a definitive agreement
to sell our Venus Hair Business to MHG Co. Ltd. on June 6, 2025, we
have continuously worked to meet the closing conditions of the
transaction. Unfortunately, we have experienced challenges with our
counterparty in closing this transaction and have sought the
assistance of the Delaware Court of Chancery to aid in this
respect. We will continue our dedicated pursuit of closing this
important strategic transaction and look forward to sharing updates
with the investment community, as appropriate."

Mississauga, Canada-based MNP LLP, the Company's auditor since
2019, issued a "going concern" qualification in its report dated
March 31, 2025, attached to the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, citing that the Company
has reported recurring net losses and negative cash flows from
operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $63.09 million in total
assets, $60.31 million in total liabilities, and $2.33 million in
total stockholders' equity.
VILLAGE ROADSHOW: Court Denies Bid to Stay Chapter 11 Sale of Film
------------------------------------------------------------------
Vince Sullivan of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that a
Delaware bankruptcy judge on Monday, November 24, 2025, rejected
Warner Bros.' attempt to stay the Chapter 11 sale of Village
Roadshow's derivative film rights during its appeal of the $18.5
million sale order, finding the studio failed to satisfy the
standard for obtaining a stay. The court determined that Warner
Bros. had not shown it was likely to succeed in overturning the
sale.
The ruling clears the way for Village Roadshow to close the
transaction as part of its restructuring process. The judge also
emphasized that delaying the deal could disrupt the debtor's
reorganization and negatively affect creditors, the report states.

VOLITIONRX LTD: Reports $5.4 Million Net Loss in 2025 Q3
--------------------------------------------------------
VolitionRx Limited filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reporting a net loss
of $5.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025,
compared to a net loss of $5.9 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2024.
Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and
2024, were $627,277 and $474,522, respectively. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had total
revenues of $1.8 million and $1 million, respectively.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $6.4 million in total
assets, $42.4 million in total liabilities, and $35.9 million in
total stockholders' deficit.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company incurred
a net loss of $17.2 million compared to a net loss of 21.4 million
for the same period in 2024, and used cash flows in operating
activities of $14.2 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2025.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents
of $0.2 million and an accumulated deficit of $246.6 million.
VolitionRx has generated operating losses and has experienced
negative cash flows from operations since inception.
The Company has not generated significant revenues and expects to
incur further losses in the future, particularly from continued
development of its clinical-stage diagnostic tests and
commercialization activities.
The future of the Company as an operating business will depend on
its ability to obtain sufficient capital contributions or,
financing, and/or generate revenues as may be required to sustain
its operations. Management plans to address these concerns as
needed by:
(a) granting licenses and/or distribution rights to third
parties in exchange for specified up-front and/or back-end
payments,
(b) obtaining additional financing through debt or equity
transactions,
(c) securing additional grant funds, and
(d) developing and commercializing the Company's products in
an efficient manner.
Management continues to exercise tight cost controls and has
implemented short-term cash preservation and cost-saving
initiatives to conserve cash. As part of the Company's cash
conservation efforts, directors and certain employees have elected
to exchange a portion of their fees earned or paid in cash or
salary, respectively, for RSUs of the Company.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is
dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans.
Management assessed the mitigating effect of these plans to
determine if it is probable that the plans would be effectively
implemented within 12 months after the condensed consolidated
financial statements are issued and when implemented, would
mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
These plans are subject to market conditions and reliance on third
parties, and there is no assurance that effective implementation of
the Company's plans will result in the necessary funding to
continue operations and satisfy current and expected debt
obligations.
The Company concluded that these plans do not alleviate the
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern beyond the next 12 months.

WINSLOW, AZ: S&P Affirms 'BB+' Rating on Wastewater Revenue Bonds
-----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings affirmed its 'BB+' rating on the city of
Winslow, Ariz.'s series 2016 wastewater system revenue
obligations.
The outlook remains negative.
S&P said, "The negative outlook reflects our view that the
wastewater system may face challenges producing consistent
financials at the recently improved levels in unaudited fiscal 2025
considering the limited customer base and a recent history of
all-in coverage (AIC) below 1x."
The rating reflects the utility's weak risk management and
oversight practices, as reflected in reactive rate-setting that led
to recent poor financial metrics. Although management has initiated
several credit-supportive strategies to improve financial metrics,
S&P believes sustaining them hinges on its ongoing commitment to
review, implement, and update these strategies.
S&P said, "In our view, social capital risk factors could add
strain to the system's performance. Recent rate increases, while
necessary for the system's financial recovery, may limit
revenue-raising flexibility for acute unbudgeted expenses or major
capital needs.
"In our view, environmental risks are limited for the utility's
wastewater system, which tends to be less affected by weather
events such as regional droughts.
"The negative outlook reflects our opinion that despite modest
improvements in financial metrics in unaudited fiscal 2025, we
believe Winslow's wastewater system remains exposed to fluctuations
in operating expenses or unbudgeted capital improvement needs.
"We may lower the rating if we see the utility continue to
intermittently produce AIC below 1x or have large draws on cash,
which would indicate still-reactionary rate setting practices
and/or challenges in raising rates sufficient to cover all
financial obligations.
"We may revise the outlook to stable if we see a track record of
consistent AIC and liquidity at or above current levels. Any
improvement to the outlook or rating would likely be contingent on
evidence of proactive, rather than reactive, rate setting and
customers' ability to absorb rate increases without a significant
rise in delinquencies and/or bad debt write offs."
WOK HOLDINGS: S&P Downgrades ICR to 'CCC+', Outlook Negative
------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings lowered its issuer credit rating on U.S.-based
restaurant company Wok Holdings Inc. to 'CCC+' from 'B-' and its
issue-level rating on its senior secured debt to 'CCC+' from 'B-'.
S&P's '3' recovery rating on the senior secured debt is unchanged.
The negative outlook reflects the potential that S&P will lower its
rating on the company if its liquidity becomes more constrained
than it anticipates, increasing the risk of a debt restructuring or
liquidity event.
Wok Holdings continues to generate sustained cash flow deficits,
which are constraining its liquidity and financial flexibility.
S&P said, "We now view the company's capital structure as
potentially unsustainable due to our expectation for weak
credit-protection metrics, including thin interest coverage and
elevated leverage.
"The downgrade reflects Wok's continued operating underperformance
and persistent cash flow deficits. The company's operating
performance through the third quarter of 2025 was materially weaker
than we assumed under our prior base-case forecast. Wok's revenue
declined by 9.1% year over year in the third quarter (ended Sept.
30, 2025) due to a 9.7% decrease in its same-restaurant sales and a
7.8% reduction in its same-restaurant traffic. We believe
increasingly challenging macroeconomic conditions, most notably
sustained pressure on discretionary spending, will likely further
suppress restaurant visitation, which is consistent with the trends
observed across the casual dining sector this year. As such, we
forecast Wok's revenue will contract by 7.6% this year. In
addition, we estimate the company will open a limited number of new
Bistro units over the next one to two years as management
concentrates on stabilizing and improving the performance of its
bistro restaurants. Nevertheless, we believe Wok faces elevated
execution risk, given that it's in the early stages of implementing
broad operational initiatives across its core bistro restaurants.
"We forecast S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage of about 6.8x in
2025, improving to roughly 6.7x in 2026, primarily through a modest
increase in the company's EBITDA. Due to its increased borrowing
under its revolver and pressured EBITDA margins, Wok's S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted leverage rose to 7.0x as of Sept. 30, 2025, from
5.7x during the same period the prior year. We forecast the
company's S&P Global Ratings-adjusted margins to be 13.4% in 2025
(from 14.2% in 2024), improving to roughly 13.8% in 2026 due to its
cost-management initiatives, such as its strategic floor manager
reductions per restaurant and a reduction in its historical
promotional discounting."
Brad Hill's departure as CEO of P.F. Chang's marks a notable
leadership transition. This exit represents the third CEO change at
the company in the last two years. Hill brought significant
institutional knowledge to P.F. Chang's, having served as CFO, COO,
and--most recently--CEO for roughly six months. His exit indicates
a period of further adjustment for the company. The new CEO, Jim
Mazany, who took over earlier in November, is a 30-year restaurant
industry veteran with experience leading national brands and
turnarounds. While Mazany brings relevant operational and
turnaround expertise, consecutive leadership changes in a short
timeframe often lead to shifts in strategic priorities or capital
allocation. From a credit perspective, S&P's focus will be on the
company's ability to maintain its operating performance, cash flow
generation, and covenant headroom during the leadership change
while ensuring the continuity of its strategic initiatives and
financial discipline.
S&P said, "We revised our assessment of Wok's liquidity to less
than adequate due to its sustained cash flow deficits and sharply
reduced revolver availability. As of the third quarter of 2025, the
company had $29 million drawn under its $30 million revolving
credit facility, which left it with only $1 million of availability
(compared with $23.4 million during the prior-year period).
Additionally, after the third quarter Wok received a combined $10
million equity infusion from its sponsors, Paulson & Co. Inc. and
TriArtisan Capital Advisors, to support its operating needs. We
believe that, absent this infusion, it may have been difficult for
the company to comfortably meet its fixed obligations, including
interest, amortization, and capital expenditure (capex). Wok had
covenant headroom of approximately 21% during the quarter; however,
we view its covenant compliance as vulnerable to further declines
in its EBITDA, given the ongoing pressures on its sales and
traffic.
"Wok reported a trailing-12-month free operating cash flow (FOCF)
deficit of roughly $15 million through the third quarter of 2025,
which was up from a roughly $5 million deficit in the prior-year
period. For full year 2025, we project the company will generate a
FOCF deficit of approximately $9 million, after roughly $20 million
of planned capex largely for new unit development, refreshes, and
technology investments. In our view, Wok's constrained liquidity
and negative cash flow profile significantly limit its financial
flexibility and may require it to implement additional reductions
to its capital spending absent a material improvement in its
operating performance." The company does not face any near-term
maturities, given that its $30 million revolving credit facility
and $480 million term loan facility mature in March and September
2029, respectively.
The negative outlook reflects the risk that Wok Holdings will be
unable to sufficiently improve its operating performance and
restore its liquidity over the next 12 months.
S&P could lower its rating if it envisions a specific default event
over the next 12 months. This could occur if:
-- Wok is unable to materially and sustainably improve its
operating performance; and
-- The company generates a larger-than-expected FOCF deficit,
increasing the likelihood it will miss an interest payment or
experience a liquidity crisis; or
-- S&P believes management will likely pursue a debt exchange that
we would view as tantamount to default.
S&P could revise its outlook on Wok to stable or raise its rating
if:
-- S&P expects it will generate sustained positive FOCF due to a
material improvement in its operating performance, such that it
anticipates it will increase its liquidity and maintain sufficient
revolver availability; and
-- The company reduces its S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage
and sustains reported EBITDA interest coverage of more than 1.5x.
WORKSPORT LTD: Reports $4.9 Million Net loss in 2025 Q3
-------------------------------------------------------
Worksport Ltd. filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reporting a net loss
of $4,928,679 for the three months ended September 30, 2025,
compared to a net loss of $4,134,917 for the three months ended
September 30, 2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reported
a net loss of $13,123,627, compared to a net loss of $11,862,973
for the same period in 2024.
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024,
were $5,013,872 and $3,122,359, respectively. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had net sales of
$11,358,835 and $5,556,535, respectively.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $27,048,622 in total
assets, $7,269,230 in total liabilities, and $19,779,392 in total
stockholders' equity.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $3,761,690 in cash and
cash equivalents. The Company also has availability on its
revolving line of credit of $3,291,250.
The Company has generated only limited revenues and has relied
primarily upon capital generated from public and private offerings
of its securities. Since the Company's acquisition of Worksport in
2014, it has never generated a profit.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of
$77,617,726.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had working capital of
$6,311,857 (December 31, 2024 – $7,304,110) and had an
accumulated deficit of $77,617,726 (December 31, 2024 -
$64,476,966).
The Company has not generated profit from operations since
inception and to date has relied on debt and equity financing for
continued operations. The Company's ability to continue as a going
concern is dependent upon the ability to generate cash flows from
operations and obtain equity and/or debt financing.
The Company intends to continue funding operations through equity
and debt financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund
its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash
requirements in the long term. There can be no assurance that the
steps management is taking to make the Company profitable will be
successful.
The Company has historically operated at a loss, although that may
change as sales volumes increase and margins improve.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents
of $3,761,690 (December 31, 2024 - $4,883,099). Despite the Company
having completed its purchasing of large manufacturing machinery
for phase one output levels, operational costs are expected to
remain elevated and, thus, further decrease cash and cash
equivalents.
Concurrently, the Company intends to continue its ramp-up of
manufacturing and increasing sales volumes in 2025 and 2026, which
should mitigate the effects of operational costs on cash and cash
equivalents as it releases new product lines; this view is
supported by the fact that the manufacturing facility of the
Company was completed for initial production output in 2023 and
quickly began improving output and sales during 2024 and into
2025.
The Company has successfully raised cash, and it is positioned to
do so again if deemed necessary or strategically advantageous.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company, through its
Reg-A public offering, private placement offering, underwritten
public offering, and exercises of warrants, raised an aggregate of
approximately $32,500,000.
On September 30, 2022, the Company filed a shelf registration
statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission on October 13, 2022, allowing
the Company to issue up to $30,000,000 of common stock and
prospectus supplement covering the offering, issuance and sale of
up to $13,000,000 of common stock that may be issued and sold under
an At The Market Offering Agreement dated September 30, 2022, with
H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, as the sales agent.
Pursuant to the ATM Agreement, HCW is entitled to a commission
equal to 3.0% of the gross sales price of the shares of common
stock sold. Through September 30, 2025, the Company cumulatively
sold and issued 872,027 shares of common stock in consideration for
net proceeds of $6,751,381 under the ATM Agreement. The Shelf
Registration Statement expired in October 2025 and the Company will
file a new shelf registration statement in November 2025.
On November 2, 2023, the Company consummated a registered direct
offering pursuant to which the Company issued 192,500 shares of
common stock and 157,500 pre-funded warrants to an institutional
investor for a total net proceeds of $4,261,542.
Concurrently with the registered direct offering, the Company
issued the same institutional investor 700,000 warrants in a
private sale. The warrants are exercisable for 700,000 shares of
common stock for $13.40 per share six months after issuance and
until 5.5 years from the issuance date, subject to beneficial
ownership limitations as described in the warrants. The Company
registered the 700,000 shares of common stock underlying the
warrants on a Form S-1 (333-276241) which was declared effective by
the SEC on December 29, 2023.
On March 20, 2024, the Company consummated a registered direct
offering pursuant to which the Company issued 237,224 shares of
common stock and 147,789 pre-funded warrants to the same
institutional investor as in the Company's registered direct
offering on November 2, 2023, for a total net proceeds of
$2,629,083.
Concurrently with the registered direct offering, the Company
issued the institutional investor 770,026 warrants in a private
sale. The warrants are exercisable for 770,026 shares of common
stock for $7.40 per share six months after issuance until five and
a half years from the issuance date, subject to beneficial
ownership limitations as described in the warrants. The Company
registered the 770,026 shares of common stock underlying the
warrants on a Form S-1 (333-278461) which was declared effective by
the SEC on April 8, 2024.
On May 29, 2024, Worksport sent an inducement letter to a
shareholder offering an option to exercise their warrants at a
reduced exercise price of $5.198 per warrant. In turn for doing so,
Worksport offered the shareholder new warrants to purchase up to
1,295,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $5.198.
The warrants had a term of 5.5 years, with a 6-month required
holding period prior to exercise.
On December 13, 2024, the Company filed a prospectus supplement to
amend and supplement a prospectus supplement dated as of November
5, 2024, as well as the prospectus supplement dated as of October
13, 2022, and the prospectus dated as of October 13, 2022 to
increase the maximum amount of shares that we are eligible to sell
pursuant to the ATM Agreement under General Instruction I.B.6. to
$4,962,092 of shares of our common stock not including whatever had
been sold prior to this filing date.
On February 27, 2025, Worksport entered into a warrant inducement
agreement with a shareholder to exercise 755,558 of 1,295,000 May
2024 Warrants at a price of $5.198 per share. The remaining
unexercised 539,442 warrants are included in share subscription
payable. In return, the Company issued 1,424,500 new 2025
Inducement Warrants.
Each Inducement Warrant has an exercise price of $6.502, will
become exercisable six months after issuance, and have a 5.5-year
life. Worksport raised approximately $6,731,000 in gross proceeds
before fees and expenses, with the funds earmarked for general
corporate and working capital purposes.
On June 13, 2025, Worksport completed the initial closing of its
Regulation A offering whereby up to 3,100,000 Units may be sold at
an offering price of $3.25 per unit. Each Unit consists of one
share of 8% Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001
per share and one warrant for the right to purchase one share of
common stock, $0.001 par value with an exercise price of $4.50 per
share.
The qualified Regulation A offering is expected to generate gross
proceeds of $10,000,000. Through September 30, 2025, the Company
completed twenty-four tranches and received proceeds of $6,469,202
(net of issuance costs of $665,905) and recognized share
subscriptions receivable of $458,720 (net of issuance costs of
$41,130).
To date, the Company's principal sources of liquidity consist of
net proceeds from public and private securities offerings and cash
exercises of outstanding warrants. Management is focused on
transitioning towards revenue as its principal source of liquidity
by growing existing product offerings as well as the Company's
customer base.
The Company cannot give assurance that it can increase its cash
balances or limit its cash consumption and thus maintain sufficient
cash balances for planned operations or future business
developments. Future business development and demands may lead to
cash utilization at levels greater than recently experienced. The
Company may need to raise additional capital in the future.
However, the Company cannot provide assurances it will be able to
raise additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all.
The Company has evaluated whether there are conditions and events,
considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern within the next 12
months.
Still, certain factors indicate the existence of a material
uncertainty that cast substantial doubt about the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern.
Management Commentary:
"Worksport's Q3 performance shows our final investments into a
scalable, efficient and high growth company," said Steven Rossi,
Chief Executive Officer. "Our margin has grown over 2300 BPS in 9
months, and it's projected to continue growth. Operating leverage
is now visible -- revenue rose nearly 60% YoY while core expenses
grew only about 20%. That balance of discipline and expansion gives
us strong conviction in our outlook for 2026 profitability and
sustained double-digit growth, particularly as our new SOLIS™,
COR™, and HD3 are launched and transition into revenue-generating
lines."

YUNHONG GREEN: Reports $811,000 Net Loss in 2025 Q3
---------------------------------------------------
Yunhong Green CTI Ltd. filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reporting a net loss
of $811,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared
to a net loss of $1.2 million for the three months ended September
30, 2024.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reported
a net loss of $1.4 million, compared to a net loss of $2.2 million
for the same period in 2024.
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024,
were $3 million and $2.5 million, respectively. For the nine
months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had net sales
of $13.2 million and $11.8 million, respectively.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $22.2 million in total
assets, $11.6 million in total liabilities, and $10.5 million in
total stockholders' equity.
The Company has a cumulative net loss from inception to September
30, 2025 of approximately $27 million.
The Company's cash resources from operations may be insufficient to
meet its anticipated needs during the next 12 months. If the
Company does not execute its plan, it may require additional
financing to fund its future planned operations.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is
dependent on the Company having adequate capital to fund its
operating plan and performance. Management's plans to continue as a
going concern may include raising additional capital through sales
of equity securities and borrowing, continuing to focus our Company
on the most profitable elements, and exploring alternative funding
sources on an as needed basis.
However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company
will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. The supply
chain challenges, inflationary pressures and tariffs have impacted
on the Company's business operations to some extent and is expected
to continue to do so and these impacts may include reduced access
to capital.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern may be
dependent upon its ability to successfully secure other sources of
financing and attain profitable operations. There is substantial
doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going
concern for the next 12 months.
The Company's primary sources of liquidity continue to include cash
and cash equivalents and borrowings available under the Credit
Agreement. This credit facility has been amended and concludes on
April 30, 2027.
On September 30, 2021, the Company entered into a loan and security
agreement with Line Financial, which provides for a senior secured
financing consisting of a revolving credit facility in an aggregate
principal amount of up to $7 million, as amended, subject to
borrowing base provisions, and term loan facility in an aggregate
principal amount of $731,250. The Senior Facilities are secured by
substantially all assets of the Company. The Company has remained
in compliance with all material covenants since inception.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at the
prime rate + 7.82% (15.07% as of September 30, 2025), payable
monthly in arrears. The Term Loan Facility bears interest at the
prime rate + 1.45% (8.7% as of September 30, 2025) and is repaid in
48 monthly installments of approximately $15,000, beginning
November 1, 2021. The Company also pays collateral monitoring fees
of 4.62% of the eligible accounts receivable, inventory, and
equipment supporting both facilities.
Originally maturing September 30, 2023, the Senior Facilities were
extended to April 30, 2027 pursuant to a Fifth Amendment executed
on September 30, 2025, which also increased the revolving
commitment from $6.0 million to $7.0 million and added a 0.75%
renewal fee, payable in two equal installments in October 2025 and
September 2026. A $12,500 commitment fee was also incurred. All
other material terms, including borrowing base, collateral, and
covenants, remained unchanged.
The facility automatically renews for successive one-year periods
unless either party provides written notice of termination not less
than 90 days prior to the end of the then-current term. The Company
may prepay the Term Loan Facility (together with accrued interest
and any applicable prepayment fee) in whole, but not in part, upon
at least 60 days' prior written notice.
The Agreement requires the Company to maintain a minimum tangible
net worth of $4.0 million, subject to adjustment by the Lender. The
Company was in compliance with this covenant as of September 30,
2025 and December 31, 2024. The Agreement also limits additional
indebtedness, liens, dividends, mergers, and annual capital
expenditures exceeding $1.0 million.
At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the term loan balance
was approximately $0.6 million (net of $0 and $17,000 deferred
costs, respectively), and the revolving balance was $4.6 million
and $6.6 million, respectively. The December 2024 balance
temporarily exceeded the then limit due to holiday-related timing
and was reduced below the cap on January 3, 2025. $2.4 million
remained available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit
Facility as of September 30, 2025.
The Company also has a subordinated note payable to John H. Schwan,
Director and former Chairman of the Board, bearing 6% interest. The
balance was $1.3 million at December 31, 2023; $1.0 million was
repaid in January 2024, with $0.3 million remaining due at a future
date to be determined.
Accordingly, Company's ability to access capital on favorable terms
is subject to several factors, including market conditions, lender
risk appetite, and overall economic trends.
There can be no assurance that such financing will be available, or
available on acceptable terms, particularly considering
increasingly conservative conditions in the financial markets.
The Company continues to monitor its liquidity position and capital
structure closely to ensure ongoing financial flexibility.

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.
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 nation's bankruptcy courts. The list
includes links to freely downloadable images of these small-dollar
petitions in Acrobat PDF format.
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
