303 HIGHLINE: Unsecured Creditors Will Get 2% of Claims in Plan
---------------------------------------------------------------
303 Highline Corp., d/b/a Hudson Market, submitted a First Amended
Disclosure Statement in connection with First Amended Plan of
Reorganization for Small Business dated January 28, 2026.
Following extensive discussions and negotiations, the Debtor and
the Landlord have reached a resolution in principal concerning any
outstanding obligations under the Premises Lease and the terms of
the Debtor's assumption of the Premises Lease.
In furtherance thereof, the Debtor and the Landlord are in the
process of negotiating a mutually agreeable stipulation (the "Lease
Assumption Stipulation") providing for, among other things, the
Debtor's assumption of the Premises Lease upon the Debtor's payment
of a total of $99,733.89 (which amount encompasses, among other
things, any indebtedness asserted by the Landlord by way of its
filed prepetition proof of claim (Claim No. 4) and $74,351.26
required to be paid by the Debtor under the Lease terms in order to
bring the amount of the security deposit with the Landlord up to
the required amount of $200,000), or such other amount as may be
required to cure all pre and/or post-Petition Date defaults under
the Premises Lease upon assumption of the Premises Lease (the "Cure
Amount"), to the Landlord (either in full on the Effective Date of
the Plan or over time as may be agreed upon under the Lease
Assumption Stipulation).
The effectiveness of the Lease Assumption Stipulation will be
conditioned on the entry of an Order confirming the Plan or
otherwise approving the terms of the Lease Assumption Stipulation.
The terms of the Lease Assumption Stipulation, once finalized, will
be attached to the Plan, and the terms of which will be
incorporated in the Plan by reference. The Debtor intends to file
the Lease Assumption Stipulation in advance of the hearing on
Confirmation of the Plan.
Class 2 consists of Allowed General Unsecured Claims against the
Debtor which consist of all Claims against the Debtor other than
Statutory Fees, Administrative Claims, Priority Tax Claims or
Secured Claims. Under the Plan, subject to the provisions of the
Plan with respect to Disputed Claims, the Debtor will make a first
and final Pro Rata Distribution of Cash to each holder of an
Allowed Class 2 General Unsecured Claim in an amount equal to 2% of
its Allowed Claim, on the Effective Date in full satisfaction of
such Claim.
Class 2 General Unsecured Claims are impaired under the Plan and,
thus, the holders of such Claims are entitled to vote as to the
acceptance or rejection of the Plan. The allowed unsecured claims
total $2,121,393.02.
Class 3 consists of the Interests of Hyeon "Jeff" Jin Kim which are
not affected by the terms of the Plan, i.e., following Confirmation
of the Plan, Mr. Kim will retain his equity Interests in the Debtor
and the Reorganized Debtor. His Interests being unimpaired under
the Plan, Mr. Kim is not entitled to vote on the Plan on account
thereof.
The Effective Date shall be the date that the Confirmation Order
becomes a Final Order. The Distributions contemplated to be made
under the Plan on the Effective Date shall be funded from the
Debtor's Cash on hand as of the Effective Date and the Plan Cash
Contribution (i.e., a non-recourse contribution by Hyeon "Jeff" Jin
Kim expected to total not less than $300,000.00). Any post
Effective Date payments or Distributions provided for under the
Plan shall be made from the Reorganized Debtor's future business
revenues.
The Distributions that are to be made on the Effective Date under
this Plan shall be funded from the Debtor's Cash on hand as of the
Effective Date and the Plan Cash Contribution. Counsel to the
Debtor, Pick & Zabicki LLP, will serve as "Disbursing Agent" with
respect to the Effective Date Distributions. Available Cash, in an
amount sufficient to fully fund the Effective Date Distributions,
shall be in escrow with the Disbursing Agent on the Effective Date.
All post-Effective Date payments or Distributions called for under
this Plan shall be made from the Reorganized Debtor's future
business revenues. The Reorganized Debtor shall be responsible for
making any and all post-Confirmation payments that may be called
for under the Plan.
As of the Effective Date, and in accordance with the provisions and
requirements of Sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, the
Debtor shall be deemed to have assumed: (a) the Premises Lease
pursuant to the terms of the Lease Assumption Stipulation; (b) a
certain month-to-month lease/bailment agreement with Coffee
Associates Inc. regarding certain coffee equipment; and (c) a
certain month-to-month lease/bailment agreement with Pepsi Cola
Bottling Co. of NY, Inc. regarding certain beverage coolers.

------------------------------------------------------------
805 Main Street LLC seeks permission from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Massachusetts, to sell Property, free and clear
of liens, claims, interests, and encumbrances.
The Debtor is a Massachusetts limited liability company formed on
February 18, 2019. The Debtor conducts business in Cambridge,
Massachusetts where it owns real property.
The Debtor pursued a multi-year plan to assemble several properties

mixed-use development. The Debtor acquired 795–805 Main Street, a
retail building with two restaurant tenants and a billboard, and
later acquired 781–783 Main Street, which contains two retail
spaces.
The Debtor seeks authority to sell its right, title, and interest
in and to that certain parcel of land, with any and all buildings
and improvements existing thereon, located in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, commonly known and numbered as 781-783 Main Street,
Cambridge, MA 02139 (Property), together with the appurtenant
interests described in the purchase and sale agreement.
The Debtor has entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated

Property.

ADDIAN INC: Claims to be Paid from Total Liquidation Value
----------------------------------------------------------
Addian, Inc., filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern
District of Georgia a Subchapter V Plan dated January 27, 2026.
The Debtor is a Wisconsin corporation which was formed in 1996 and
registered in Georgia in 1999. Debtor is owned by Thomas Wolworth
who is the sole shareholder and serves as President of the Debtor.
The Debtor's business model is to provide fulfillment and logistics
services for business-to-business and business to consumer
customers. Currently, the Debtor filed this case in anticipation of
building up its direct-mail marketing business customer base. To
date, these efforts have not generated material success.
Pre-petition, the Debtor has been engaged in defending against a
contract-dispute case styled as Two Canoes LLC v. Aobvious Studio
LLC, et al., Case No. 2:21-cv-19729-SDW-JRA in the United States
District Court of the District of New Jersey. As of August 22,
2025, this litigation is under appeal with the United States Court
of Appeals for the Third Circuit (Appeal Case No. 25- 2633) (the
"Two Canoes Action").
Two Canoes subsequently pursued a garnishment action against the
Debtor with the State Court of Fulton County, Georgia. The
garnishment resulted in Bank of America remitting all funds in
Debtor's bank accounts to the registry of the court on or about
October 27, 2025. This bankruptcy case was initiated following this
garnishment action. Post-petition, the garnishment funds were
released and Debtor holds such funds in its DIP account.
This Plan deals with all property of Debtor and provides for
treatment of all Claims against Debtor and its property.
Class 4 consists of General Unsecured Claims. The Debtor will pay
the Holders of Class 4 General Unsecured Claims in accordance with
the Plan Payment Procedures set forth in Article 4.6 of the Plan.
The allowed unsecured claims total $1,579,824.35. The Class 4
General Unsecured Claims are Impaired by the Plan and the holders
of the Class 4 General Unsecured Claims are entitled to vote to
accept or reject the Plan.
Notwithstanding anything else in this Plan to the contrary, any
Class 4 General Unsecured Claim shall be reduced by any payment
received by the creditor holding such claim from any third party,
collateral, or other obligor and Debtors' obligations hereunder
shall be reduced accordingly. Nothing herein shall constitute an
admission as to the nature, validity, or amount of such claim.
Debtors reserves the right to object to or seek to subordinate any
and all claims.
Class 5 consists of the Interest Claims (i.e., claim of Debtor's
sole owner based upon ownership of Debtor). Thomas Wolworth shall
retain his 100% interest in the Debtor.
The source of funds for the payments pursuant to the Plan is the
Total Liquidated Value (i.e. $270,242.53) (see Section 1.3
"Liquidation Analysis") paid as follows: (i) on the 28th day
following the Effective Date the Debtor shall make payments to the
secured and priority tax claims of Classes 1-3 (if applicable);
(ii) any claims of Administrative Creditors shall be paid on the
earlier of (a) the 28th day of the first full month following the
Effective Date and (b) the date of an order allowing such claim;
and (iii) on the date 30 days after the entry of the Two Canoes
Judgment (or the next Business Day if the actual 30th day is not a
Business Day) the Debtor shall pay all remaining funds pro rata to
Class 4 (General Unsecured Claims).
The Debtor may also pay any post confirmation costs and expenses,
as may approved by the Court, prior to payment of Class 4 Claims.
In order to avoid any doubt, Two Canoes, LLC must have a final
judgment ruling in its favor and against the Debtor for a final
judgment amount in order for Two Canoes to receive any payment
under this Plan.
The Debtor shall pay the Administrative and General Unsecured
Creditors Payment in satisfaction of its obligations to (i)
Administrative Expense Claims and (ii) Class 4 General Unsecured
Creditors.
Upon confirmation, Debtor will be charged with administration of
the Case. Debtor will be authorized and empowered to take such
actions as are required to effectuate the Plan. Debtor will file
all post-confirmation reports required by the United States
Trustee's office. Debtor will also file the necessary final reports
and may apply for a final decree after substantial consummation at
such time as Debtor deems appropriate unless otherwise required by
the Bankruptcy Court.
The source of funds for the payments pursuant to the Plan is the
Total Liquidation Value.

ADVANCED DRAINAGE: S&P Alters Outlook to Pos., Affirms 'BB' ICR
---------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings revised its outlook on Hillard, Ohio-based
Advanced Drainage Systems Inc. (ADS) to positive from stable, and
S&P affirmed the 'BB' issuer credit rating.
S&P said, "At the same time, we assigned a 'BBB-' issue-level
rating to the company's proposed first-lien term loan due 2033 and
a '1' recovery rating indicates our expectation for very high
(90%-100%; rounded estimate: 95%) recovery in the event of a
payment default.
"The positive outlook reflects the possibility of an upgrade over
the next 12 months if we believe the company will maintain S&P
Global Ratings-adjusted debt leverage below 3x in most market
conditions, inclusive of acquisitions."
The proposed transaction will improve ADS's maturity profile and
liquidity. The company is proposing to issue a $600 million term
loan B due 2033, which will replace its $700 million term loan B
($410 million outstanding) due 2026. The company also recently
refinanced its revolving credit facility, increasing its size to
$750 million from $600 million and extending its maturity to 2031
from 2027. The refinancing extends the company's weighted-average
maturity out beyond six years from about four years and increases
its liquidity.
S&P said, "We expect ADS to maintain debt leverage below 2x over
the next 12 months. ADS acquired NDS for about $1 billion. Pro
forma for the acquisition, we expect debt leverage to increase but
remain below 2x given ADS's low leverage, with trailing-12-month
debt to EBITDA of 0.7x as of Sept. 30, 2025. The acquisition is in
line with the company's growth strategy and closed on Feb. 2, 2026,
which is ADS's fiscal fourth quarter (fiscal year-end March 2026).
The company has maintained lower-than-expected leverage over the
past several years and has publicly stated guidance of 1x-2x.
"In fiscal 2027 (year-ended March 2027), we expect ADS to benefit
from a full year of earnings from the acquisition. We've
incorporated flat organic revenue growth and stable EBITDA margins
into our forecast. We also expect the company's capital spending to
be $200 million-$230 million and have incorporated $100 million in
share repurchases and $60 million-$65 million in dividends. Despite
these assumptions, we project debt leverage to remain below 2x."
ADS has expanded significantly over the past few years. Its
competitive position is based on its increased earnings base as a
leading provider in niche markets and its above-average margins,
but these don't fully offset its exposure to cyclical end markets.
Pro forma for the acquisition, its revenue will increase to about
$3 billion from $1.7 billion in 2020, and over the same period, its
EBITDA grew to $950 million from $321 million. The company is a
leading provider in the niche thermoplastic corrugated pipes and
related water management industry. In addition, its onsite
wastewater and storm water business (Infiltrator) has positioned it
as a leader in the on-site septic market. The acquisition of NDS
adds complementary products in the water capture segment and
slightly increases the company's exposure to residential end
markets. Our assessment of the company's competitive position also
reflects its exposure to narrow, fragmented, and cyclical
construction markets focused on site development and wastewater
management, with approximately 60% of its sales tied to piping. The
remainder of ADS's sales are concentrated in complementary
products--such as water management systems, drainage solutions, and
septic systems--which provide some diversity. However, its end
markets and general growth drivers are closely tied. The company is
also highly exposed to cyclical construction markets given that it
derives about 81% of its sales from the nonresidential (41%) and
residential markets (40%).
The positive outlook reflects the possibility of an upgrade over
the next 12 months if S&P believes the company will maintain S&P
Global Ratings-adjusted debt leverage below 3x in most market
conditions, inclusive of acquisitions.
S&P could revise the outlook on ADS back to stable over the next 12
months if it anticipates debt leverage will be sustained above 3x.
This could occur if:
-- The company experiences challenges integrating the NDS
acquisition and macroeconomic conditions weaken, reducing demand
for its products, and the company is unable to pass-through raw
material cost increases to its customers; or
-- Although unlikely, the company pursues a large debt-financed
acquisition with few prospects for rapid deleveraging or uses
additional debt fund share repurchases and dividends.
S&P could raise its rating on ADS over the next 12 months if the
company is successful in integrating the NDS acquisition such that
debt leverage remains below 2x and we believe the company will
maintain debt to EBITDA below 3x in most market conditions.
AFFORDABLE CARE: Taps AlixPartners for Restructuring Advice
-----------------------------------------------------------
Jodi Xu Klein of The Wall Street Journal reports that Affordable
Care LLC has hired AlixPartners for restructuring guidance as it
confronts mounting debt pressures, according to people familiar
with the matter. The company ranks among the largest dental-service
organizations operating in the United States.
The financial strain traces back to a 2021 leveraged buyout by
Harvest Partners that valued the business at approximately $2.7
billion. Sources said the transaction saddled the company with
significant floating-rate debt that has become increasingly
expensive to service as interest rates climbed.
At the time of the buyout, Affordable Care was recovering from the
effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. Patient traffic had begun to
rebound, and federal relief funding helped stabilize liquidity, but
those gains were later overshadowed by rising capital costs, the
report states.
North Carolina-based Affordable Care supports dental practices
across roughly 40 states by handling nonclinical functions such as
billing, procurement, and marketing. Its concentration on
tooth-replacement services mitigates insurance reimbursement risk,
though the business remains exposed to fluctuations in consumer
spending during periods of economic uncertainty, according to
report.
About Affordable Care LLC
Affordable Care LLC is a privately held dental support organization
founded in 1975 and headquartered in Morrisville, North Carolina
that helps dental practices manage back-office functions. The
company’s focus is on tooth replacement services, delivering
administrative, marketing, and operational support so dentists can
prioritize clinical services.

ALL SECURE: Seeks to Extend Plan Exclusivity to February 20
-----------------------------------------------------------
All Secure, LLC asked the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western
District of Tennessee to extend its exclusivity periods to file a
plan of reorganization and obtain acceptance thereof to February 20
and April 1, 2026, respectively.
The Debtor explains that based on a weighing of the relevant
factors, there is more than sufficient cause to approve the
extension of the Exclusive Periods requested by the Debtor:
* Counsel for the Debtor has been ill during the month of
January 2026 when the chapter 11 was to be filed. Shortly
thereafter the area has suffered inclement weather which has
hampered counsel's coordination with the Debtor and persons
necessary to effectuate the filing of the plan and solicitation of
acceptances.
* The Debtor, is in need of additional time to communicate
with its insurers to gather and share information regard settlement
of litigation. In addition, all potential claimants cannot be
identified until further information is gathered.
* Since filing this Chapter 11 Case, the Debtor believes that
it has continued to pay substantially all of its undisputed, post
petition expenses and invoices in the ordinary course of business
or as otherwise provided by order of the Court.
* The requested extension of the Exclusive Periods is the
first such request made in this Chapter 11 Case and is
approximately 92 days after the Petition Date. This amount of time
is not long given the complexity of the issues involved.
* The Debtor is not seeking an extension of the Exclusive
Periods to pressure or prejudice any of its stakeholders. Rather,
the Debtor is seeking an extension of the Exclusive Periods to
preserve and build upon the progress made to date by securing
adequate time to develop a plan of reorganization. The Debtor's
efforts towards reaching a global settlement with its insurers and
claimants will benefit, not prejudice, its creditors.

ALLSTAR PROPERTIES: Affiliate to Sell 3750 Rome Estate to Stinson's
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Allstar Properties LLC and its affiliate, ACH Rental Properties,
LLC, seek permission from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of Georgia, Rome Division, to sell Property, free
and clear of liens, claims, interests, and encumbrances.
ACH is a Georgia limited liability company. ACH owns certain
residential properties that it rents to individual tenants
throughout the northwest corner of the State of Georgia, in Floyd,
Haralson and/or Polk Counties. Where applicable, the Debtor
collects rent on the Residential Properties.
On October 29, 2025, ACH, along with its affiliates, Allstar
Properties, LLC and Allstar Properties I, LLC employ Toles, Temple
& Wright, Inc. (TTW) as broker to market the real property located

Marble Street, Rockmart, GA, and related to other undisclosed
parcels of real property.
On December 12, 2025, the Debtor's counsel provided notice to the
United States Trustee and counsel for AgSouth Farm Credit ACA,
among others, that it intended to employ TTW related to the
marketing and sale of 3750 Rome Hwy, Aragon, Georgia, as well as
certain other properties.
TTW proceeded to market the Property, and on February 4, 2026,ACH,
as the seller, TTW, as the broker for the ACH, and Andrew T.
Stinson and Emily Gore Stinson, as the purchasers, entered into
that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement wherein Buyer agreed to
purchase the Property for $295,000.
The Property secures an approximate $2,200,000 debt to AgSouth.
Pursuant to the Sale Agreement, and as set forth in the Application
and subsequent order, TTW is to receive a 5% commission on the
gross sale amount of the Property, to be paid at closing. In this
case, and should the Court approve the sale, the commission due to
TTW will be $14,750.
The net sale proceeds from the Property hall be used to paydown the
amounts owed to AgSouth related to the Lien, except to the extent
that ACH requests to retain $50,000 to fund operations in 2026,
hopefully, through confirmation of a Chapter 11 plan.
The Debtor submits that the sale to Buyer, which is an arms-length
transaction between unrelated parties, is reasonable and
appropriate, and designed to insure fairness.

AMERICAN SIGNATURE: Wins Court Approval for Chapter 11 Sale
-----------------------------------------------------------
Jeff Montgomery of Law360 reports that American Signature Furniture
received bankruptcy court authorization Wednesday night to finalize
a nearly $159 million sale to its senior lenders, entities tied to
the Schottenstein family. The approval follows a Chapter 11 auction
in which the lender group stood as the only qualified bidder.
The Delaware bankruptcy court determined that the transaction
represented the highest and best offer for the furniture retailer's
assets, clearing the way for the sale to close. The outcome
advances the company's restructuring by transferring ownership to
its creditor group after the absence of rival bids, the report
states.

API GP VENTURE: Plan Exclusivity Period Extended to April 2
-----------------------------------------------------------
Judge Karen B. Owens of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District
of Delaware extended API GP Venture Partners, LLC and its
affiliates' exclusive periods to file a plan of reorganization and
obtain acceptance thereof to April 2 and June 1, 2026,
respectively.
As shared by Troubled Company Reporter, the Debtors explain that
these cases have been exceptionally complex, although not large in
terms of debt. The first several months were consumed by the
appointment of a CRO, efforts to obtain access to the Debtors'
books and records, and ultimately a difficult mediation and
settlement process. These threshold issues had to be resolved
before the Debtors could even begin to formulate a path forward.
This unusual complexity, which has absorbed a significant portion
of the initial exclusivity period, strongly supports an extension.
The Debtors claim that they continue to negotiate with their key
stakeholders and interested investors regarding the structure of
their exit from Chapter 11 and the role of a Chapter 11 plan.
Additionally, as the general claims bar date has only recently been
set, the Debtors require time to review filed proofs of claim to
liquidate the claims pool and provide all parties with greater
visibility with respect to potential distributions under the
forthcoming plan.
The Debtors note that they seek to maintain exclusivity so parties
with competing interests do not hinder the Debtors' efforts to
finalize what is anticipated to be a largely consensual, value
maximizing plan. Extending the Exclusivity Periods will benefit
creditors by avoiding the drain on estate assets attendant to the
potential proposal of a competing chapter 11 plan. All stakeholders
benefit from that continued stability and predictability, which
comes only with the Debtors being the sole potential plan
proponents.
Moreover, even if the Court approves an extension of the Exclusive
Periods, nothing prevents parties in interest from later arguing to
the Court that cause supports termination of the Debtors'
exclusivity. Accordingly, the relief requested herein is without
prejudice to the Debtors' creditors and will instead benefit the
Debtors' estates, their creditors, and all other key parties in
interest.

ARM VENTURES: Court Extends Cash Collateral Access to Feb. 27

ATLAS CC HOLDING: S&P Upgrades ICR to 'CCC-', On Watch Positive
---------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings raised its issuer credit rating on Atlas CC
Holding LLC (Cubic Corp.) to 'CCC-' from 'SD' (selective default)
and placed it on CreditWatch with positive implications.
S&P said, "At the same time, we raised our ratings on its
second-out $1.4 billion term loan B, $203 million term loan C, and
$85 million payment-in-kind (PIK) term loan to 'CCC-' from 'D'.
"We also raised our issue-level rating on its third-out $164
million second-lien term loan to 'C' from 'D'.
"The CreditWatch placement indicates we may raise the rating
following further review of the company's cash flow profile and
liquidity position."
Cubic Corp. executed a credit agreement amendment to defer its cash
interest payment due Jan. 27, 2026, providing short-term liquidity
relief.
S&P said, "We believe ongoing cash burn remains a risk, though
incoming milestone payments related to contracts in its
transportation segment could support liquidity.
"We raised our rating on Cubic following the executed credit
agreement amendment. The company's lenders agreed to defer its
interest payment due Jan. 27, 2026, until April 28, 2026. In
exchange, lenders received a modest premium, paid in kind, and
added to the principal term loan balance. The interest deferral
provided short term liquidity relief for Cubic, as it contends with
challenging conditions in its defense segment amid procurement
reform and shifting funding priorities at the Department of
Defense. The company's liquidity position should improve if sales
in the defense segment recover in the short term.
"We may raise the 'CCC-' rating once we have greater clarity on its
cash flow profile and liquidity position. Normalizing sales
environment in it its defense segment and release of contract asset
in the transportation segment could indicate a liquidity shortfall
or another liability management transaction is not an imminent
risk. Still, based on its very high debt levels and contracted
earnings, we believe it is unlikely improving conditions would lead
us to view its capital structure as sustainable. The company
remains vulnerable to adverse business conditions.
"The CreditWatch placement indicates we may raise the rating
following further review of Cubic's liquidity profile and cash flow
prospects, including improved clarity regarding recovery of its
defense segment and timing of contract asset releases in its
transportation segment."

AZORRA FINANCE: S&P Rates Proposed $350MM Unsecured Notes 'BB-'
---------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'BB-' issue rating to Azorra
Finance Ltd.'s proposed $350 million unsecured notes due 2034. The
notes will be guaranteed on an unsecured basis by parent Azorra
Aviation Holdings LLC (BB-/Positive/--) (Azorra).
S&P said, "We expect Azorra to use the proceeds from this issuance,
and from a $150 million add-on to its term loan B, to repay
outstanding drawings on its revolving credit facilities (RCF) and
for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of
aviation assets. The recovery rating is '3', indicating that we
expect meaningful recovery prospects for the proposed unsecured
notes of 50%-70% (rounded estimate: 50%) in the event of a
default.
"Our 'BB' rating on company's term loan B is unchanged. The
recovery rating remains '2', reflecting our expectation of
substantial recovery of 70%-90% (rounded estimate: 85%) in the
event of a default.
"We continue to view positively the increase in unsecured debt as a
portion of funding. Having fewer encumbered assets aids financial
flexibility because lessors with a sizable, unencumbered asset base
can use the assets as collateral for secured borrowing if access to
unsecured borrowing becomes unavailable. Pro forma the proposed
transaction, the ratio of secured debt to total assets is about
37%, still somewhat above the ratio for most higher-rated peers."
Issue Ratings--Recovery Analysis
Key analytical factors
-- The term loan, RCF, and bilateral facilities are supported by
separate dedicated collateral pools.
-- Azorra guarantees the term loan and unsecured notes--all issued
by Azorra Finance Ltd.--on an unsecured basis. S&P expects the
company's unencumbered assets to be available to support the
recovery of existing and proposed unsecured notes and deficiency
claims from the secured debt on a pari passu basis.
-- S&P said, "We value the company as a going concern following a
discrete asset valuation (DAV) approach. The fleet assets include
aircraft and engines. We depreciate the appraised value of aircraft
to the default year, at which point realization rates are applied
to reflect a contraction in value in distress circumstances."
-- S&P said, "In our simulated default scenario, we assume a
disruption in the air travel industry in 2030, causing airlines to
renegotiate leases and return aircraft on lease. This causes
aircraft values to decline, requiring the company to use cash flow
to pay down certain secured aircraft financing."
Simplified waterfall
-- Gross enterprise value (DAV approach): $2.0 billion
-- Valuation split between unencumbered assets/ bilateral
collateral/ revolver/ term loan: 40%/23%/13%/25%
-- Net enterprise value after 5% administrative expenses: $1.9
billion
-- Estimated collateral value available to term loan: $474
million
-- Additional recovery through unencumbered assets: $101 million
-- Total value available to the term loan: $575 million
-- Estimated term loan balance at default: $671 million
--Term loan recovery expectations: 70%-90% (rounded estimate:
85%)
-- Estimated unencumbered asset value available to unsecured
claims: $880 million
-- Estimated unsecured note balance at default: $1.5 billion
-- Other unsecured claims (deficiency claims from secured debt
categories): $212 million
-- Total unsecured claims: $1.7 billion
--Unsecured note recovery expectations: 50%-70% (rounded
estimate: 50%)
Notes: All debt amounts include six months of prepetition
interest.

BANNING, CA: S&P Lowers Rev. Bond Rating to 'B', Outlook Negative
-----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings lowered its underlying rating (SPUR) to 'B' from
'B+' on Banning Financing Authority, Calif.'s electric system
revenue bonds, issued for the City of Banning, and removed it from
CreditWatch, where it was placed with negative implications on Nov.
7, 2025.
The outlook is negative.
The downgrade reflects the utility's sustained weak financial
position and reliance on citywide pooled cash fund that absorbed
the city's general fund significant unassigned negative fund
balance as of fiscal year-end 2024 (June 30). This combined cash
structure could potentially constrain the electric fund's access to
cash to fund operations and pay electric debt service.
S&P said, "The negative outlook reflects a one-in-three chance that
we could lower the rating further if the utility can't stabilize
its financial position and achieve the 1.2x rate covenant in fiscal
2025, particularly given what we view as weak income demographics
that could hinder cost recovery for a utility that is collecting in
arrears.
"In our opinion, the utility's combined weak risk management and
financial reporting underpin our negative rating actions and, in
our view, led to its structural imbalance, which is not anticipated
to improve until fiscal 2027. Although management has initiated
several credit-supportive strategies to enhance revenue collections
and improve financial metrics, we believe a sustained financial
improvement hinges on management committing to review, implement,
and update these strategies and long-term plans, and hiring key
personnel while decreasing turnover. Furthermore, we believe the
city lacks the internal control processes necessary to monitor
compliance with debt covenants throughout the year."
In S&P's view, rate-affordability risks are elevated for the
electric system. Although system rates, measured on a
weighted-average basis by customer class, are below the state
average (2024), suggesting solid competitiveness, significant
annual residential rate increases are approved during the next five
years. Also, current relative electric rate competitiveness
reflects the state's investor-owned utilities' recent substantial
rate increases, indicating that competitiveness and affordability
are not synonymous.
Electric base rate increases total 54% for fiscal 2025 through
fiscal 2027, and as management uses its power cost adjustment
factor (PCAF) monthly to address liquidity challenges, we believe
affordability will erode. This is further compounded by planned
rate increases for the water and wastewater systems, which are
billed on the same bill as the electric system.
S&P believes the utility faces acute physical risks related to
wildfires, since the city maintains 11 miles of overhead
distribution lines in tier 2 and 3 zones and 3% of the system's
customers are within these zones. The utility has undertaken
measures to reduce wildfire risk and will continue to de-energize
circuits for operational reasons at the request of police and fire
personnel as a form of risk management.
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) credit factors for this
change in credit rating/outlook and/or CreditWatch status:
-- Risk management, culture, and oversight
-- Transparency and reporting
S&P said, "The negative outlook reflects our view that, despite
planned rate increases, the utility's cash balance will likely
remain negative through fiscal 2026 and will only achieve
structural balance beginning in fiscal 2027, as indicated by
management and the utility's continued dependence on interfund
borrowings. While management expects to be caught up on billing by
February 2026, there is significant uncertainty as to the
ratepayers' ability to pay larger balances and if rate increases
and cost controls will produce credit-supportive DSC in fiscal
years 2025 and 2026 given insufficient coverage in fiscal 2024. We
view concrete resolution regarding the billing and collections as
necessary to stabilize our view of the electric system's financial
position.
"We could lower the rating by one or more notches if the city's
overall liquidity deteriorates materially and citywide pooled cash
no longer supports the electric system's operations and debt
service payments. We could also do so if there is a delayed ability
to raise rates, if there is an inability to maintain structural
balance on a sustained basis that considers revenue, expenses, debt
service, and capital spending, or if rate affordability becomes
materially compromised.
"We could revise the outlook to stable if we see a sustained track
record of improved liquidity and reserves supported by timely
billing, sufficient rate increases, and prudent cost control while
maintaining DSC in compliance with the 1.2x rate covenant. Due to
recent weak financial performance and the anticipation that the
utility will only achieve structural balance by fiscal year-end
June 30, 2027, we do not anticipate raising the rating in the near
term."

(i) Tenant did not have a replacement leasehold mortgage lender;
(ii) under the terms of the Ground Lease, Landlord was not
required to make the modifications demanded by Tenant; and

BUCKINGHAM SENIOR: No Decline in Patient Care, 1st PCO Report Says
------------------------------------------------------------------
Susan Goodman, the patient care ombudsman, filed with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas her first
report regarding the quality of patient care provided by Buckingham
Senior Living Community, Inc. The report covers the period from
December 16, 2025 to January 27, 2026.
The licensed care areas at The Buckingham included assisted living
(AL), memory assisted living, and long-term/skilled care nursing
areas.
At the time of the PCO's initial site visit, memory assisted living
had 31 residents, AL had 46 occupied apartments, and healthcare had
a census of 64 patients, approximately 65% skilled and 35%
long-term private-pay residents.
The PCO noted that the facility was clean and free of odors.
Waterless hand gel was available in licensed care areas, and
common-area bathrooms were adequately stocked with paper products.
The PCO generally did not visit the independent living (IL) areas
beyond the kitchen and dining area located on the IL side of the
property.
The PCO met with Healthcare and Assisted Living leadership;
interacted with dining, facilities, therapy, central supply, and
direct care staff; observed care interactions; and spoke with
patients and residents. Leadership reported uninterrupted services
from third-party pharmacy, hazardous waste, disposable supply, and
electronic health record vendors.
Ms. Goodman confirmed menu cycles and food selections remained
unchanged post-petition; dining leadership reported no
interruptions in food sourcing or dietitian support, and all
dietary equipment was functional during the PCO’s visit, except a
recently repaired steamer oven.
During the PCO's site visit, Healthcare was staffed with five
licensed nurses and six CNAs; a last-minute nursing absence in
memory was covered by a nurse from the prior shift for four hours
and the AL nurse for the remaining four hours.
The PCO did not observe any current post-petition care decline, but
some Buckingham residents could face material healthcare impacts if
they lose affordable access to care or lack sufficient refunds to
move to an alternative setting.

CALUMET INC: S&P Alters Outlook to Positive, Affirms 'CCC+' ICR
---------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings revised the rating outlook on Calumet Inc. to
positive from negative and affirmed its 'CCC+' issuer credit
rating.
The recovery rating on the senior secured notes remains '1'
(rounded estimate: 95%). The recovery rating on senior unsecured
notes remains '3' (rounded estimate: 55%). The issue-level ratings
remain 'B' and 'CCC+' for the senior secured debt and the unsecured
debt, respectively.
S&P also withdrew its 'CCC+' issue level ratings on the 2026 and
2027 senior notes tranches, which were redeemed recently.
The positive outlook reflects that we may upgrade the company
within 12 months if leverage metrics continue to improve to levels
we deem sustainable.
Calumet has addressed its near-term debt maturities. In January
2026, Calumet issued new unsecured notes and used the proceeds,
along with internal liquidity, to refinance its 2026 and 2027
unsecured notes tranches, and it extended its ABL maturity date. As
a result, Calumet's nearest material debt maturity is in July 2028
on its senior unsecured notes. S&P said, "We expect the company to
maintain adequate liquidity for the next 12 months, supported by
cash on the balance sheet, availability on the ABL, and positive
free operating cash flow (FOCF). We do not expect any covenant
compliance issues over the next 12 months."
S&P said, "We expect Calumet's credit metrics to continue to
improve in the next 12 months on somewhat favorable market
fundamentals, better product mix, and internal cost optimization.
Calumet's credit metrics in 2025 improved materially from
significantly higher fuels margins and continued strength in
specialty margins in the second half of 2025. Additionally,
company-wide optimization initiatives reduced its operating cost by
about $60 million in the first nine months of the year. Calumet's
renewable fuels business, Montana Renewables LLC (MRL), also
benefited from higher renewable identifiable number (RIN) pricing
relative to the lows of 2024.
"We expect its EBITDA margins to improve by about 200 basis points
to about 8% in 2025 and will approach 10% in 2026 and 2027. This is
supported by its operating cost improvements, higher RIN prices due
to higher renewable volume obligations (RVOs), greater sales of
higher-margin sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), and commercial
execution in the specialties business. We may also observe some
rationalization of margins in coming years due to the demand pull
on domestic feedstocks. We project the company's weighted-average
S&P Global Ratings-adjusted debt to EBITDA will be 7x-8x, with the
metric being somewhat higher than this range in 2025 and improving
to about 7x during the second half of 2026.
"We expect MRL's annual SAF production capabilities to increase to
120 million-150 million gallons in the second quarter of 2026 from
the current 30 million gallons per year level. Based on
management's public statements, it has secured contracts for a
majority of the expanded SAF capacity in the first phase, which are
priced at a premium to renewable diesel. While the ultimate target
is 300 million gallons of SAF capacity in a few years, at this time
our base-case assumptions do not reflect this next phase. We may
update our assumptions once we have more certainty around the
execution and associated spending requirements for the second
phase.
"We expect Calumet to report significantly positive FOCF for 2025,
supporting liquidity improvement. We believe this will be driven by
the material reduction in interest costs following the retirement
of MRL's prior third-party debt with the Department of Energy (DOE)
loan in February 2025 as well as higher EBITDA margins. We forecast
FOCF will improve further in 2026 with an increase in earnings and
the continued sale of the 45Z production tax credits (PTCs) in the
secondary market."
There is positive momentum for the renewable fuels space, but some
uncertainties persist. Some developments over the last 12 months in
the regulatory environment offer support to fundamentals and
clarity for the sector. For example, the proposed 2026-2027
Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) rule proposes record-high RVOs and
alters the standard to limit participation of imported fuels and
feedstocks. Additionally, the Environmental Protection Agency's
(EPA) recent decisions on small refinery exemption (SRE)
applications and the extension of the 45Z PTCs through 2029 also
provide some certainty. Calumet has started to monetize these PTCs
following the extension, which S&P expects will support free cash
flows.
S&P said, "However, the final rule for the 2026-2027 RFS standards
remains pending. We note Calumet at a consolidated level remains
materially exposed to commodity prices and subject to government
policies, particularly around renewable fuels. While uncertainties
in the renewables industry remain, we believe recent regulatory
clarity for the industry has helped stabilize market sentiment
somewhat."
Calumet remains subject to potential RIN obligations, which could
weaken credit metrics and liquidity. While the EPA's decisions on
SREs in 2025 reduced most of Calumet's RIN obligations, there are
still some cases under review and dialogue. It is unclear what the
ultimate resolution will be, and in a scenario where Calumet has to
settle against its RIN compliance requirements, its liquidity and
credit measures could be pressured depending on the amount of
obligations and the payout mechanism. S&P may revisit our rating on
the company as a result.
As of Sept. 30, 2025, reported obligations decreased to about $133
million from $457 million as of June 30, 2025. S&P does not
currently add these obligations to our adjusted debt balances, but
this could change if the likelihood of payments by the company
increases.
The positive outlook reflects the possibility of an upgrade over
the next 12 months if Calumet's operating and financial performance
continues to recover, thus markedly reducing the risk of an
unsustainable capital structure. With consistent throughput levels
and a sequentially better margin profile in 2025 than 2024, we
estimate Calumet's (consolidated) S&P Global Ratings-adjusted debt
to EBITDA will be 7x-8x on a weighted-average basis.
While S&P expects the metric will be above this range for 2025, S&P
forecasts it will improve to about 7x during the second half of
2026, with margin uplift from continued realization of operational
cost improvements and higher SAF production. However, Calumet's
margin profile in the near term will likely remain subject to
industry supply and demand dynamics, the regulatory policy
environment for renewable fuels, and timing and successful ramp-up
of SAF capacities.
Based on past court rulings, recent SRE decisions by the EPA, and
conversations with the company, S&P assumes Calumet will not have
to pay against its RIN obligations in the next 12 months, a key
assumption in our base case.
S&P could take a negative rating action over the next few quarters
if:
-- The company faces unexpected operational disruptions or delays
in the planned SAF expansion in the coming months, or end-market
demand or the combined business' margins are weaker than expected,
leading to persistent negative free cash flows, a meaningful
deterioration in liquidity, or S&P Global Ratings-adjusted debt to
EBITDA approaching 10x consistently; or
-- Due to ongoing litigation, the company is deemed obligated to
meet significant RIN obligations by purchasing RINs, thus
pressuring its liquidity position. S&P notes the EPA's decisions on
Calumet's various SRE applications have significantly reduced its
obligations, while some obligations still remain either under a
judicial stay or have review petitions filed in the D.C. circuit.
S&P said, "We could upgrade our rating on Calumet to 'B-' over the
next 12 months if its S&P Global Ratings-adjusted debt to EBITDA
drops to below 8x on a consistent basis, EBITDA interest coverage
remains at or above 1.5x, and FOCF remains positive. This could
occur if the operating environment remains favorable in both the
specialties and fuels refining businesses and expanded SAF
capabilities at MRL ramp up mid-2026, leading to sustained
improvements in earnings.
"We could also upgrade Calumet if it uses free cash flow, a
successful equity sale, or IPO at MRL to meaningfully reduce debt
leverage. Consistent with our previous assumptions, while the MRL
monetization plan is still in process, we do not consider its
materialization in our base case over the next 12 months."
CANO ELECTRIC: Gets OK to Use Cash Collateral Until Feb. 17
-----------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Fort
Worth Division, entered an interim order authorizing Cano Electric
Inc., to use cash collateral through February 17.
Under the interim order, the Debtor is authorized to collect all
revenue due and to apply it toward operating expenses in accordance
with its budget. The Debtor may pay up to 110% of each budgeted
expense without further court approval.
All banks and payors, including Greystar Real Estate Partners, LLC
and its affiliates, are instructed to remit payments directly to
the Debtor, and no party making such payments will be liable to
third parties for compliance with the interim order.

interests in cash collateral will be granted replacement liens on
post-petition cash collateral and newly acquired property. These
liens maintain the same validity and priority as the creditors held
on the petition date and do not attach to Chapter 5 avoidance
actions.
Secured creditors are also entitled to replacement liens on
post-petition accounts receivable, contract rights, and deposit
accounts.
The order includes a carveout of funds to cover fees for the Clerk
of Court, U.S. Trustee, Subchapter V Trustee, trustee (if any), and
the Debtor’s counsel, The Lane Law Firm, PLLC.
A final hearing is scheduled for February 17 to determine whether
the order should be continued, modified, or terminated. Objections
must be filed by February 12.

The Elderly, Inc. to use cash collateral.
Under the interim order, the Debtor is authorized to use cash
collateral through March 10 to cover operating expenses in
accordance with its current budget and any subsequent budgets filed
before the final hearing. The order incorporates the Debtor's
4-week cash flow forecast and allows deviations up to 15% without
further court approval.
All banks holding the Debtor's funds are ordered to release such
funds for deposit into debtor-in-possession accounts.
The Debtor's secured creditors will be granted replacement liens
and superpriority administrative expense claims on the Debtor's
assets (excluding avoidance actions) to the same extent and
priority as their pre-petition liens, protecting them against any
diminution in value of their interests. These protections are
enforceable immediately and automatically perfected without
additional filings.
No presumption of validity is made for claims or liens held by any
individual creditor unless determined by the court.
A final hearing is scheduled for March 10. Objections must be filed
by February 24.
Care For The Elderly believes that, as of the Petition Date, the
only creditor with a claim secured by cash collateral is the U.S.
Small Business Administration, which is currently
owed approximately $44,000. The Debtor is current on the payment of
its monthly obligations to the SBA and intends to stay current
during this bankruptcy case.

The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of New York
issued an interim order authorizing CNY Sealcoating & Concrete, LLC
to use cash collateral.
The Debtor's cash collateral includes proceeds from pre-petition
loans held by the U.S. Small Business Administration, which has
first-lien security on all collateral. The total secured
indebtedness under the SBA loans is approximately $1,510,768.
Under the interim order, the Debtor is authorized to use cash
collateral only in accordance with the approved budget, with
deviations of up to 15% permitted cumulatively. Payments to Utica
College are explicitly excluded at this time.
As adequate protection, the SBA will be granted replacement and
additional liens on all property of the Debtor to the extent of any
diminution in value of pre-petition collateral, as well as a
superpriority administrative claim under 11 U.S.C. section 507(b).
These liens are automatically perfected, and the Debtor must
provide periodic accountings if there is a material deviation from
the budget. Monthly adequate protection payments to the SBA are set
at $3,178, amortized over 30 years at 6.75%, and the Debtor will
pay the Subchapter V Trustee $1,000 per month up to $5,000, held in
escrow.
Nothing in the order limits the SBA from seeking further relief or
modifying terms with proper notice.
A final hearing is scheduled for February 24, with objections must
be filed by February 17.

DIOCESE OF ALBANY: Insurer Balks at $8MM Claim Deal in Chapter 11
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Vince Sullivan of Law360 reports that on Tuesday, February 3, 2026,
a group of insurers led by Lloyd's of London pushed back against a
motion from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany seeking
authorization for an $8 million abuse judgment, contending the
request directly conflicts with an earlier bankruptcy court order
prohibiting the entry of judgments against the debtor.
The insurers told the court that approving the judgment would
undermine the bankruptcy process by giving one claimant
preferential treatment and potentially impairing insurance
defenses. They said the diocese's proposal threatens to unravel
court-approved procedures meant to centralize and manage abuse
claims within the Chapter 11 case.
About Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany, New York
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany is a religious organization in
Albany, N.Y. It covers 13 counties in Eastern New York, including a
portion of the 14th county. Its Mother Church is the Cathedral of
the Immaculate Conception in the city of Albany.
New York's Child Victims Act, which took effect in August 2019,
temporarily sets aside the usual statute of limitations for
lawsuits to give victims of childhood sexual abuse a year to pursue
even decades-old claims. Hundreds of new lawsuits have been filed
against churches and other institutions since the law took effect
on Aug. 14, 2019.
Facing the financial weight of new sexual misconduct lawsuits, at
least four of the eight Roman Catholic dioceses in the state, has
already sought Chapter 11 protection. The dioceses that have
declared bankruptcy include the Diocese of Rochester and the
Diocese of Rockville Centre on Long Island.
The Catholic Diocese of Albany sought relief under Chapter 11 of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. N.D.N.Y. Case No. 23-10244) on
March 15, 2023. In the petition filed by Fr. Robert P. Longobucco,
the Debtor estimated assets between $10 million and $50 million and
liabilities between $50 million and $100 million.

noticing agent.

DIOCESE OF BUFFALO: Insurance Funds Near $165M for Survivors
------------------------------------------------------------
The Catholic Diocese of Buffalo is nearing completion of settling
claims for more than 900 survivors of sexual abuse by diocesan
priests and other leaders in cases dating back decades.
As currently projected, the financial settlement for victims is
approaching $315 million, with a significant portion of that
funding -- nearly $165 million -- being supplied by insurers of the
diocese.
Key to the process has been the involvement of the Burns Bair law
firm, whose attorneys are nationally recognized for successfully
negotiating settlements with insurance providers in the ongoing
series of abuse-related diocesan bankruptcies across the nation.
That work currently includes negotiations on behalf of those
bringing claims against the Archdioceses of Baltimore and San
Francisco, the Catholic Dioceses of Albany and Syracuse, New York,
as well as those in Oakland, Sacramento, and Santa Rosa,
California.
"We're pleased with the outcomes we've achieved for those survivors
in the Buffalo bankruptcy who have suffered in silence for so
long," said Tim Burns, partner at Wisconsin-based Burns Bair.
The insurers for the diocese include the Selective Insurance
Company of New York, The Continental Insurance Company, Employers
Insurance Company of Wausau, Nationwide Insurance Company of
America, Hartford Accident and Indemnity Company and Hartford Fire
Insurance Company, First State Insurance Company, National Union
Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, U.S. Fire
Insurance Company, Pacific Employers Insurance Company, Aetna
Insurance Company, Century Indemnity, and Federal Insurance
Company, among others.

Randi Love of Bloomberg Law reports that a bankruptcy judge on
Wednesday, February 3, 2026, blocked the Diocese of Oakland's
effort to postpone payments to attorneys until the end of its
Chapter 11 case, which has been stalled for months.
The diocese had requested a 100% monthly holdback on interim legal
fees, effectively freezing payments to lawyers funded by the
estate. Judge William J. Lafferty denied the motion without
prejudice in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of
California, according to report.
Lawyers for a committee representing about 350 sex abuse claimants
are among those impacted, illustrating the ongoing tension between

ELETSON HOLDINGS: Gets Court OK to Pursue Former Officials' Arrest
------------------------------------------------------------------
Alex Wittenberg of Law360 reports that in the Chapter 11 bankruptcy
of international shipping firm Eletson Holdings Inc., a New York
federal judge has allowed the debtor to pursue arrest and
incarceration orders against former company directors and others
who have allegedly ignored deposition subpoenas. The ruling from
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York
authorizes more aggressive enforcement of discovery obligations
after repeated failures to appear.
Eletson told the court that obtaining testimony from former
officials is critical to advancing contested matters in its
bankruptcy case and that existing sanctions have not secured
compliance. With the judge’s approval, the company may now seek
arrest warrants as part of its efforts to compel cooperation and
move its reorganization forward, the report states.

Jersey to use cash collateral.
The court issued a second interim order authorizing the Debtors to
use cash collateral through March 20 to pay expenses in accordance
with an approved budget, subject to a 10% variance.
As adequate protection for any collateral diminution, secured
creditors including Connect One Bank, the U.S. Small Business
Administration and merchant cash advance lenders will receive
replacement liens on post-petition property, matching the validity
and priority of their pre-petition liens.

proceeds, and are subordinate to the fee carveout.
As additional protection, secured creditors may also assert a
superpriority claim under section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code,
subject to the Debtors' defenses.
The order imposes detailed reporting, insurance, and payment
obligations on the Debtors and sets forth specific events of
default that could terminate cash collateral use.
A final hearing is scheduled for March 17, with objections due by
March 10.

FAIRFIELD WILLIAMSBURG: Seeks to Sell Real Estate Biz at Auction
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Fairfield Williamsburg Property Owners Association, Inc., seeks
approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of
Virginia, Newport News Division, to sell Property at auction, free
and clear of liens, claims, interests, and encumbrances.
Debtor is a nonstock corporation organized under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Virginia pursuant to Articles of Incorporation
filed with the State Corporation Commission of the Commonwealth of
Virginia on April 2, 1985.
The Association was formed pursuant to a Project and Time-Share
Instrument for Fairfield Williamsburg filed on June 4, 1985, in
Book 417, at Page 503 et seq., in the Office of the Clerk of Court
for York County, Virginia, and subsequently amended through a
series of supplements and amendments.
The Association is governed by a Board of Directors. The members of
the Board are Dan MacLaughlin, President; Chris Munroe, Vice
President; and Daniel Northover, Secretary/Treasurer.
The property governed by the Association includes 41 buildings
(containing 196 Time-Share Units) and their concomitant common
areas on a site commonly known as 220 House of Burgess Way,
Williamsburg, VA.
The 41 buildings were constructed and added to the Time-Share
Project in six phases. Each building has two floors and contains
four or six Time-Share Units subject to a Time-Share Estate. Each
Time-Share Unit consists of 52 Time-Share Estates. However, per
Article X of the Declaration, two of the Time-Share Estates in each
Time-Share Unit were set aside as maintenance weeks and those are
owned by the Association.
Common Elements at the Property include resort style amenities.
Recreational improvements include a reception building and fitness
center, an outdoor pool and pool building, a spa, a basketball
court, barbeque grill areas, a fire pit, and playground equipment.
All the TimeShare Units are fully furnished, and each contains a
full kitchen.
Thus, the Association owns approximately 393 Time-Share Estates at
the Property, which comprises approximately 3.86% of the
Total-Share Estates at the Property (the Time-Share Estates owned
by the Association are sometimes referred to as the maintenance
weeks). The Association owns Association Interests as a
tenant-in-common with all other Time-Share Owners.
The Association also owns Common Elements at the Property as a
result of certain deeds from the developer.
PTVO Owners Association, Inc. owns 5,103 Time-Share Estates at the
Property, which is approximately 50.07% of the total Time-Share
Estates at the Property.
Worldmark by Wyndham, The Club owns 677 Time-Share Estates at the
Property, which is approximately 6.64% of the total Time-Share
Estates at the Property.
Wyndham Vacation Resorts, Inc. owns 717 Time-Share Estates at the
Property, which is approximately 7.03% of the total Time-Share
Estates at the Property.
The remaining 3,302 Time-Share Estates (32.40% of the total
Time-Share Estates eligible to vote) are owned by other
individuals, with each Time-Share Estate having its own separate
corresponding contract.
Debtor seeks authority to market the Property according to the
Bidding Procedures in advance of the Section 363(h) Proceedings.
The Debtor intends to file an application to retain Hilco Real
Estate, LLC as its real estate broker to market the Property.
The Debtor seeks approval of the Bidding Procedures to establish an
open process for the solicitation, receipt, and evaluation of Bids
in a fair, accessible, and expeditious manner.
The Debtor seeks to sell the Property to the highest and best
bidder to maximize value for the bankruptcy estate.
The Bidding Procedures are designed to generate the highest or
otherwise best available recoveries to Debtor’s stakeholders by
encouraging prospective bidders to submit competitive,
value-maximizing Bids.
Debtor believes that the Bidding Procedures and the timeline are in
the best interests of Debtor's bankruptcy estate, will establish
the extent of the market for the Property, and provide interested
parties with sufficient opportunity to participate.
Overview of the terms and conditions of the Bidding Procedures is
also provided as Exhibit 1. https://urlcurt.com/u?l=4ZM8y5
The Auction for the Property, if needed, will be conducted
virtually via Zoom on May 19, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. prevailing Eastern
Time.
The Debtors respectfully submit that the proposed Bidding
Procedures will encourage competitive bidding, are appropriate

legal standard in the Fourth Circuit.

FIRST BRANDS: Creditors Seek OK to Hire Nardello to Probe Fraud
---------------------------------------------------------------
Yun Park of Law360 reports that the unsecured creditors' committee
in First Brands Group’s bankruptcy case has asked a Texas judge
to authorize the retention of Nardello & Co. to investigate what it
characterizes as extensive fraud and looting prior to the auto
parts maker's Chapter 11 filing. The creditors contend that
suspicious financial transactions and governance failures warrant a
thorough forensic review.
In its filing, the committee said engaging Nardello would allow it
to assess potential claims against insiders or third parties and
determine whether further legal action is justified. The creditors

FIRST BRANDS: Founder Denies Fraud Charges, Pleads Not Guilty
-------------------------------------------------------------
Chris Dolmetsch and David Voreacos of Bloomberg News report that
Patrick James, the founder of First Brands, and his brother Edward
pleaded not guilty Wednesday to federal fraud charges and now face
a July 13 trial in New York arising from the collapse of the
auto-parts supplier.
The pleas were entered before a federal magistrate judge, and U.S.
District Judge Analisa Torres later set the trial date. According
to prosecutors, the James brothers used falsified and overstated
invoices to secure billions of dollars in financing from lenders,
according to report.
The two former executives were arrested in Ohio last week after a
federal grand jury returned an indictment. Prosecutors say the
alleged conduct misled creditors and played a central role in the
company's financial unraveling, the report states.

FRANCISCAN FRIARS: Reaches $20MM Bankruptcy Deal w/ Abuse Claimants
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Randi Love of Bloomberg Law reports that the Franciscan Friars of
California Inc. and several affiliated entities have reached a $20
million global settlement with a committee representing clergy sex
abuse claimants, positioning the debtor to move forward with a
Chapter 11 exit strategy.
The parties are jointly developing a proposed plan of
reorganization and related voting procedures, including provisions
that may permit claimants to opt out of the settlement, friars
counsel Robert G. Harris said during a Wednesday, February 4, 2026,
status hearing.
The deal would permit the friars to exit bankruptcy while retaining
control of their assets and maintaining adequate funding for future
operations, Harris said before Judge William J. Lafferty III of the
Northern District of California bankruptcy court, according to
report.
About Franciscan Friars of California, Inc.
Franciscan Friars of California, Inc. is a tax-exempt religious
organization in Oakland, Calif. The Debtor was formed to provide
religious, charitable, and educational acts, ministry, and service
to the poor.
Franciscan Friars of California, Inc., filed its voluntary petition
for Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. N.D. Cal. Case No. 23-41723) on
Dec. 31, 2023, listing $1 million to $10 million in assets and $10
million to $50 million in liabilities. David Gaa, OFM, president of
the Debtor, signed the petition.
Judge William J. Lafferty oversees the case.
The Debtor tapped Binder Malter Harris & Rome-Banks LLP as
bankruptcy counsel; Hanson Bridgett LLP, Weintraub Tobin Chediak
Coleman Grodin Law Corporation, and Bledsoe, Diestel, Treppa &
Crane LLP as special counsel; and GlassRatner Advisory & Capital
Group LLC, doing business as B. Riley Advisory Services, as

FULLER'S SERVICE: Seeks to Sell Vehicles to Highest Bidder
----------------------------------------------------------
N. Neville Reid, not individually, but solely in his capacity as
chapter 11 trustee of the bankruptcy estate of Fuller's Service
Center Inc., seeks approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, to sell Property,
free and clear of liens, claims, interests, and encumbrances.
After his appointment, the Trustee received notice from Heartland
Bank and Trust Company, which had historically provided a working
capital line of credit to help fund the Debtor's operating cash
flow deficits, that it would not extend or renew that line of
credit when it expires on March 11, 2026.
Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtor had an ownership interest in
three motor vehicles as listed on Exhibit A
(https://urlcurt.com/u?l=ZWEKwH). Only one of the vehicles is
encumbered by any direct indebtedness to a lender with a lien on
title; the remainder are unencumbered.
After reviewing the Debtor's vehicle inventory, and mindful of the
Debtor's ongoing need to cover potential cash flow deficits arising
from operations, Mr. Goetz determined that the Vehicles are not
needed for the core operation of the Debtor’s business and could
be sold to generate approximately $72,441.00 in additional working
capital.
The Trustee determined that selling the Vehicles is in the best
interests of the Estate since they are not needed for operations
and their sale will generate working capital that may not be
available by other means.
The Trustee seeks approval and authorization to sell the motor
vehicles to CarMax or any bidder the Trustee determines offers a
higher and better offer.
If any party would like to submit an offer for one or more of the
Vehicles, the Trustee will review and compare that offer against
any offer made by CarMax.
One of the Vehicles is encumbered by a lien securing an auto loan
balance of approximately $45,559 owed to US Bank.
Based on the depreciating value of the motor vehicles and costs
associated with insuring and maintaining the vehicles, and the
consent from or adequate protection afforded to the Secured
Creditors, the Trustee requests that notice be shortened from 21
days' notice to seven days' notice for cause shown.

GENESIS HEALTHCARE: Seeks to Extend Plan Exclusivity to April 17
----------------------------------------------------------------
Genesis Healthcare, Inc., and its affiliates asked the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas to extend their
exclusivity periods to file a plan of reorganization and obtain
acceptance thereof to April 17, 2026.
This is the Debtors' second request for an extension of their
Exclusive Periods and the Debtors submit that the relevant factors
strongly weigh in favor of an extension of the Exclusive Periods.
As set forth in the First Exclusivity Extension Motion, the Chapter
11 Cases, comprising 299 Debtors, are sufficiently large and
complex to warrant the requested extension of the Exclusive
Periods. Certain of the Debtors operate approximately 175 skilled
nursing facilities across the United States and are responsible for
the care of more than 15,000 residents at those facilities. Thus,
the Debtors submit that the size and complexity of the Chapter 11
Cases weigh in favor of granting the requested extension of the
Exclusive Periods.
The Debtors explain that they have turned their attention to
formulating a consensual chapter 11 plan and intend to engage in
fulsome negotiations with the Committee prior to filing the same in
the near term following entry of the Sale Order. In sum, the
continued good faith efforts and progress exhibited by the Debtors
in the Chapter 11 Cases thus far support a further extension of the
Exclusive Periods.
The Debtors claim that the extension of the Exclusive Periods will
ensure that they have a full and fair opportunity to continue to
negotiate, revise, amend, and file their proposed plan and
disclosure statement as necessary following those discussions and
negotiations with various parties without the distraction, cost,
and delay of a competing plan process. Accordingly, the Debtors
submit that this factor weighs in favor of extending the Exclusive
Periods.
The Debtors cite that they have made and will continue to make
timely payments on their undisputed post-petition obligations in
the ordinary course, meaning that the requested extension of the
Exclusive Periods will not prejudice the legitimate interests of
post-petition creditors. As such, this factor also weighs in favor
of extending the Exclusive Periods.
The Debtors note that they have no ulterior motive in seeking an
extension of the Exclusive Periods, nor are they seeking an
extension of the Exclusive Periods to pressure or prejudice any of
their stakeholders. To the contrary, the Debtors are requesting a
further extension of the Exclusive Periods to allow for additional
time to engage with and ideally resolve any plan-related disputes
with the Committee and other creditors prior to filing their
proposed chapter 11 plan and disclosure statement, free from
distraction or competing plan proposals.
The Debtors believe that they have reasonable prospects for
proposing, confirming, and consummating a viable chapter 11 plan
following good faith discussions with the Committee regarding the
same. The Debtors are currently in the process of finalizing a
proposed chapter 11 plan and disclosure statement, with the goal of
obtaining consensus across constituencies in advance of filing.
The Debtors assert that they currently face hundreds, if not
thousands, of unresolved personal injury, wrongful death, and other
tort claims filed by current and former residents of their
facilities (or representatives thereof), for which the Debtors have
established and implemented Court-approved unliquidated claims
procedures. The existence of such unresolved contingencies weighs
in favor of granting the requested extension of the Exclusive
Periods.
The Debtors further assert that termination of the Exclusive
Periods, particularly at this stage of the Chapter 11 Cases, would
adversely impact their efforts to preserve the value of their
estates and would further complicate the progression of the Chapter
11 Cases. Such termination may disincentivize creditors from
negotiating with the Debtors in connection with the proposed plan
and disclosure statement that the Debtors intend to file in the
coming weeks.

(iv) the consummation of an incurrence of new indebtedness, on
terms and subject to conditions satisfactory to us, that results in
the receipt of net proceeds that are sufficient to pay the Cash
Consideration, certain other customary conditions. The Company
reserves the right to waive the conditions to the Exchange Offer at
any time.
Existing Notes tendered for their exchange on or prior to the Early
Participation Deadline may be validly withdrawn, and the related
Consents may be validly revoked, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on February 11, 2026, unless extended by the
Company, in its sole discretion.
As described in the Supplement, the Company is amending the cash
portion of the Total Consideration that is payable to all Eligible
Holders whose Existing Notes are validly tendered (and not validly
withdrawn) on or prior to the Early Participation Deadline and
whose Existing Notes are accepted for exchange to be equal to
US$125.0 million. The Total Consideration and Early Participation
Premium remain unchanged.
The pro rata portion of the Cash Consideration as part of the Total
Consideration for each US$1,000 aggregate principal amount of
Existing Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) on or
prior to the Early Participation Deadline, and accepted for
exchange, will be determined at the Early Participation Deadline,
based on the aggregate amount of Existing Notes validly tendered
(and not validly withdrawn) on or prior to the Early Participation
Deadline.
The greater the amount of Existing Notes validly tendered (and not
validly withdrawn), the lower the pro rata portion of the Cash
Consideration per US$1,000 aggregate principal amount of Existing
Notes tendered (and not validly withdrawn).
For example:
(i) if 100% of the Existing Notes outstanding is validly tendered
(and not validly withdrawn) on or prior to the Early Participation
Deadline, each Eligible Holder will receive, for each US$1,000
aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes validly tendered (and
not validly withdrawn), approximately US$174.50 in cash and
approximately US$825.50 in aggregate principal amount of New Notes,
and
(ii) if 80% of the Existing Notes outstanding is validly tendered
(and not validly withdrawn) on or prior to the Early Participation
Deadline, each Eligible Holder will receive, for each US$1,000
aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes validly tendered (and
not validly withdrawn), approximately US$218.12 in cash and
approximately US$781.88 in aggregate principal amount of New
Notes.
Eligible Holders who validly tender Existing Notes and deliver
Consents after the Early Participation Deadline and on or prior to
5:00 p.m., New York City time, on February 27, 2026, unless
extended by the Company, in its sole discretion and whose Existing
Notes are accepted for exchange by us will receive for each
US$1,000 aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes validly
tendered (and not validly withdrawn), US$950 aggregate principal
amount of New Notes.
Eligible Holders whose Existing Notes are accepted for exchange
will be paid accrued and unpaid interest on such Existing Notes
from, and including, the most recent date on which interest was
paid on such Holder's Existing Notes to, but not including, the
Early Settlement Date or the Settlement Date, as applicable,
payable on the Early Settlement Date or the Settlement Date, as
applicable.
Accrued Interest will be paid in cash on the Early Settlement Date
or the Settlement Date, as applicable. Interest will cease to
accrue on the Early Settlement Date or the Settlement Date, as
applicable, for all Existing Notes accepted for exchange in the
Exchange Offer.
At any time after the Withdrawal Deadline and before the Expiration
Deadline, if the Company has received the Consent of Required
Holders of Existing Notes, the Company and the trustee under the
Existing Indenture may execute and deliver a Supplemental Indenture
to the Existing Indenture, which will give effect to the Proposed
Amendments to the Existing Notes, that will be effective upon
execution but will only become operative upon consummation of the
Exchange Offer on the Early Settlement Date.
The Company will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of
the New Notes in the Exchange Offer and the Solicitation. Existing
Notes surrendered in connection with the Exchange Offer, and
accepted for exchange, will be cancelled.
The Exchange Offer is being made, and the New Notes are being
offered and issued, only:
(a) in the United States to holders of Existing Notes who are
reasonably believed to be "qualified institutional buyers" (as
defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended)
in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements
of the Securities Act, and
(b) outside the United States to holders of Existing Notes who are
persons other than "U.S. persons" (as defined in Rule 902 under the
Securities Act) in reliance upon Regulation S under the Securities
Act and who are non-U.S. qualified offerees and eligible purchasers
in other jurisdictions as set forth in the Exchange Offer
Memorandum.
Holders who have returned a duly completed eligibility letter
certifying that they are within one of the categories described in
the immediately preceding sentences are authorized to receive and

GROFF TRACTOR: Seeks to Extend Plan Exclusivity to April 13
-----------------------------------------------------------
Groff Tractor Mid Atlantic, LLC, and its affiliates asked the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas to extend their
exclusivity periods to file a plan of reorganization and obtain
acceptance thereof to April 13 and June 12, 2026, respectively.
The Debtors submit that cause exists for extending the Exclusivity
Period in these Chapter 11 Cases because the closing of the sale
approved by the Sale Order will likely not occur prior to the
February 17, 2026 deadline, which is after the expiration on
February 11, 2026 of the Debtors' exclusive right to file a Chapter
11 plan of reorganization. Additional time will enable the Debtors
to finalize and implement their strategy for emergence from Chapter
11.
This is the Debtors' first request for an extension of the
Exclusivity Periods. Because of the complexity of these Chapter 11
Cases, an extension of the Exclusivity Periods will give the
Debtors sufficient time to continue negotiating terms of a Chapter
11 plan with their stakeholders.
The Debtors claim that the purpose in seeking an extension of the
Exclusivity Periods is a good-faith effort to continue the
reorganization efforts they have initiated without the distraction
and costs of a competing plan process. The relief requested in the
Motion is not intended for the purpose of coercing or strong arming
any creditor, but rather to benefit all of the Estates'
stakeholders as a whole.
Moreover, an extension of the Exclusivity Periods will not result
in prejudice to any creditor or party in interest, and instead,
will enable the Debtors to continue focusing on preserving and
enhancing their going-concern value and proposing a viable, fair,
and comprehensive plan that would be supported by the major
constituents.
The Debtors believe that if the Court extends the Exclusivity
Period, it will give the Debtors time to conclude the Sale process
and will clear a path for the Debtors to seek confirmation of a
feasible Chapter 11 plan.

HAYWARD INDUSTRIES: Moody's Alters Outlook on 'B1' CFR to Positive
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Ratings affirmed Hayward Industries, Inc.'s (Hayward)
ratings including its B1 Corporate Family Rating, B1-PD Probability
of Default Rating, and the B2 rating on the company's senior
secured first lien term loan due 2028. The outlook was changed to
positive from stable.
The outlook change to positive reflects Hayward's good earnings and
cash flow growth despite a challenging operating environment,
supported by its large exposure to resilient aftermarket sales. The
company's growing revenue with expanding EBITDA margin supports
good free cash flow generation, very good liquidity, and good
credit metrics. Hayward's debt-to-EBITDA leverage declined to 3.4x
as of the last 12-months (LTM) ending 3Q-2025 from 3.8x at the end
of fiscal year 2024. A continuation of good operating execution
that sustains the lower leverage would position the company for an
upgrade. Hayward estimates that 85% of revenue relates to
aftermarket sales, and 50% to maintenance and repairs. The US pools
market is experiencing a multi-year cyclical slowdown, with pool
starts at levels close to a 10-year low. The company's good
operating results since 2024 highlight the benefits of Hayward's
resilient and large aftermarket business notwithstanding weak new
pool volumes and other challenges such as tariff-related cost
increases.
Moody's expects that continued stable aftermarket demand will
support the company's good profitability, free cash flow, and
credit metrics over the next 12-18 months. New pool construction is
showing early signs of stabilization, and Moody's estimates US pool
starts in 2025 to be flat to slightly lower versus 2024. Hayward is
well positioned to benefit from stabilization and potential gradual
improvement in new pool volumes.
The ratings affirmation reflects risks related to the
sustainability of improved credit metrics due to the potential for
leveraging acquisitions and the current soft industry environment.
Hayward's exposure to new pool construction and remodeling or
upgrading activities within aftermarket sales that are highly
discretionary in nature create earnings volatility risks when
economic and industry conditions weaken.
RATINGS RATIONALE
Hayward's B1 CFR reflects its strong market position and good brand
awareness in the North American pool equipment industry, and its
growing presence internationally. The company estimates its large
aftermarket business represents about 85% of sales and that 50% of
sales relate to maintenance and repairs, which provides some
revenue stability. Hayward's good EBITDA margin of over 25% is
supported by effective pricing power driven by product quality and
innovation, and importance to pool operation, as well as cost
vigilance. The healthy EBITDA margin supports good free cash flow
generation and very good liquidity, which provides financial
flexibility to manage the business seasonality and fund growth
investments. Hayward's debt-to-EBITDA leverage is moderate at 3.4x
as of LTM 3Q-2025 but subject to volatility related to acquisitions
and cyclical earnings swings. The company's financial policy
includes targeting a net leverage ratio of 2.0x to 3.0x (based on
the company's calculation). Hayward's 1.8x net leverage as of
September 2025 is below this level in part due to a high cash
balance, and there is the potential for an increase in net leverage
over the next year.
The ratings also factor Hayward's narrow product focus in the pool
equipment industry, and the inherent exposure to cyclical consumer
discretionary spending. There is uncertainty around the depth and
duration of the ongoing slowdown in the new pools market as
consumers continue being selective with discretionary spending amid
the cumulative inflation of recent years. The company's large
exposure to relatively stable aftermarket sales for maintenance and
repair helps to mitigate the cyclicality related to new pool
construction and remodeling. Hayward also has high customer
concentration, and its cash flows are highly seasonal.
FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS
The ratings could be upgraded if the company continues to generate
organic revenue growth while maintaining a stable EBITDA margin in
the mid-20s percentage range, debt/EBITDA is sustained below 3.5x,
and free cash flow/debt is sustained above 10%. A ratings upgrade
would also require the company to maintain very good liquidity and
financial policies that sustain credit metrics at the above
levels.
The ratings could be downgraded if revenue and EBITDA deteriorate
from factors such as lower demand, higher costs, supply chain
disruptions, or pricing pressures, or debt/EBITDA is sustained
above 4.5x. The ratings could also be downgraded if liquidity
deteriorates, such as growing reliance on the revolver, or if the
company pursues a large debt-financed acquisition or shareholder
distribution that increases leverage.
The principal methodology used in these ratings was Consumer
Durables published in December 2025.
Hayward's B1 CFR is two notches below the scorecard-indicated
outcome reflecting the company's exposure to the highly
discretionary residential pools market and cyclical consumer
discretionary spending, which create earnings volatility risks.
Hayward Industries, Inc. is a manufacturer of swimming pool
equipment including pumps, heaters, sanitizers, filters, cleaners,
liners and more. Hayward also manufactures equipment that controls
the flow of fluids for various industrial end markets. The
company's largest market is the US that represents over 75% of
sales. Revenue as of the LTM 3Q-2025 was about $1.1 billion.
Hayward Holdings, Inc. is the indirect parent company of Hayward
Industries, Inc. and its shares are listed in the New York stock
exchange under the ticker symbol "HAYW" since going public in March
2021.

HIGH ZZEAZZZ: To Sell Marina Property to Scot Collins for $2.4MM
----------------------------------------------------------------
High Zzeazzz Inc. seeks approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Eastern District of North Carolina, Greenville Division, to
sell Property, free and clear of liens, claims, interest, and
encumbrances.
On October 17, 2025, the Debtor filed a voluntary petition for
chapter 11 relief. The Debtor elected to proceed under subchapter V
of the bankruptcy code. George M. Oliver was appointed as the
subchapter V trustee on October 17, 2025.
The Debtor has not filed a chapter 11 plan. The deadline to file
the chapter 11 plan is February 16, 2026. If this sale is approved,
the Debtor anticipates filing a plan of liquidation that will
disburse the proceeds from the sale to secured creditors based upon
their lien priorities and in the amounts that existed on the date
of relief, and in accordance with the priorities of the bankruptcy
code.
The property is known as Dowry Creek Marina (Marina). The Marina
consisted of docks, 37 marina units, ships store, clubhouse and
laundry facilities. At the time of purchase, the Marina needed
significant maintenance and repairs.
Upon purchase, the Debtor secured financing to make needed repairs
and improvements to the Marina. The Debtor repaired the main dock
and slips. The Debtor upgraded the marine fuel station. The Debtor
installed a pool. The Debtor added living quarters. The Debtor
remodeled the clubhouse and ships store.
In late 2019, the Debtor decided to build a restaurant at the
Marina. Shortly after construction began, the COVID-19 pandemic
occurred and construction halted for months. Once construction
restarted, labor and supply shortages were common, which further
delayed construction. Then inflation became rampant. The costs of
labor and supplies drastically increased. This caused significant
overruns to the construction budget. This led to the financing of
the construction to be exhausted.
After operating the Marina and restaurant for over a year, the
Debtor realized that continued operations were unsustainable. In
2024, the Debtor employed Leisure Investment Properties Group, LLC
(LIPG), to market and sell the Marina.
A contract was entered into with a buyer for the Marina in 2025 for
$3,200,000.00. However, the sale could not be closed, and the
contract was terminated in October 2025.
In late November 2025, the Debtor realized that filing a plan of
reorganization was not feasible due to the uncertainty of its long
term tenants. This led to significant cash flow issues. The Debtor
shut down the restaurant to cut expenses. The Debtor transitioned
its operations to the bare minimum marina operations. The Debtor
instructed LIPG to make a call for offers to purchase the marina in
December 2025 with the expiration for offer submission on January
9, 2026.
On February 6, 2026, the Debtor entered a contract for purchase of
its assets with Scot Collins as Purchaser, and his assigns and
successors.
The Debtor owns certain real and personal property located at 110
Spinnaker Run Rd., Belhaven, NC 27810.
The Property consists of three separate lots and 37 marina units.
The Property totals approximately 14.725 acres. The property
consists of a marina, ships store, pool, living quarters,
restaurant, laundry facilities, clubhouse, marine fuel station,
other marine amenities, and raw land. The Debtor scheduled the
value of the real property described in the deed as $2,100,000.00.
The Debtor has acquired marina unit 33 by way of an unfiled deed
and said deed will be filed if the
sale is approved and before closing of the sale. The Debtor
estimates that these marina units have a combined liquidation value
of $60,000.00.
The Debtor owns personal property used in its marina and restaurant
operations. The personal property includes restaurant equipment,
restaurant supplies, pumping equipment, fuel tanks, pool equipment
and supplies, laundry machines, point of sale equipment, signage,
furniture, and intellectual property, such as website domains and
website.
The Debtor has negotiated that certain assets are not included in
the contract for purchase. The Debtor
will retain ownership of the following: (a) all cash in the debtor
in possession account; and (b) a pirate ship.
The Debtor will assign certain contracts and rental agreements to
the Purchaser.
In addition to above inclusions, exclusions, and assignments, the
contract for purchase is for the amount of $2,400,000.00. The
Purchaser has deposited the entire purchase price into escrow with
10% percent of that amount being designated as earnest money.
The lienholders of the Property are Bancorp, Adam Mills, Potter Oil
and Tire Company, Inc., the Beaufort County Tax Administration, and
Dowry Creek Boataminium Association.
The Debtor believes that the aggregate value of all liens on the
property is $1,641,037.09.
Due to the contract price exceeding the value of all liens held on
the Property, the Debtor doubts any lienholder will exercise their
right under this subsection.
The Debtor believes that the contract purchase price is in excess
of all liens and encumbrances on the property.
The Debtor requests that this sale be free and clear of liens.

INSPIRED HEALTHCARE: Investors Urged to Act After Chapter 11 Filing
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Inspired Healthcare Capital Holdings, LLC and 160 of its affiliates
officially filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the
Northern District of Texas. For investors, this filing is a
critical turning point that requires immediate attention and legal
strategy.
Understanding Inspired Healthcare Capital
Based in Scottsdale, Arizona, Inspired Healthcare operated a
massive network of investment entities focused on senior living
facilities and healthcare real estate. These products--often
structured as Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs), income funds, and
limited partnerships--were marketed to the public as stable,
income-generating vehicles. They were particularly popular with
investors seeking 1031 exchanges to defer taxes on property sales.
However, many of these "alternative investments" were characterized
by high leverage, a lack of transparency, and zero liquidity. While
investors were told their capital was safe, the underlying reality
was often speculative, leaving participants trapped in declining
assets with no control over their funds.
The Impact of the Chapter 11 Filing
A Chapter 11 filing is a business reorganization. While it allows a
company to attempt to restructure its debt, it creates a massive
hurdle for those seeking a return on their investment. Legally, the
"automatic stay" triggered by bankruptcy halts all existing
lawsuits directly against Inspired Healthcare.
However, this does not stop you from pursuing recovery elsewhere.
Many investors are now filing claims against the financial advisors
and brokerage firms who sold these high-risk products. These firms
had a legal duty to perform due diligence and ensure that Inspired
Healthcare investments were suitable for their clients' risk
profiles.
Why You Must Act Now
If you invested in any of the 161 affected entities--including
Inspired Senior Living DSTs or IHC Income Funds--time is of the
essence. Recovery funds from negligent advisors and firms are not
infinite. Being an early filer is often critical, as those who
delay may find that available assets or insurance coverage for
these claims have been exhausted.

specializing in senior housing. Its portfolio includes 35 operating
senior living communities in 14 states, providing housing and care
services to roughly 2,620 residents across independent living,
assisted living, and memory care settings.
Inspired Health Capital Fund Services, LLC sought relief under
Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No.
26-90004) on February 2, 2026. In its petition, the Debtor reports
$1 billion to $10 billion in both assets and liabilities.
Honorable Bankruptcy Judge Mark X. Mullin handles the case.

INSPIRED HEALTHCARE: Seeks to Sell Senior Living at Auction
-----------------------------------------------------------
Inspired Healthcare Capital Holdings, LLC, seeks approval from the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Fort
Worth Division, to sell substantially all Assets at auction, free
and clear of liens, claims, interests, and encumbrances.
The Company is a prominent owner of senior living communities, with
333 operating facilities across the country and five additional
parcels designated for future development. Beyond simply owning
these Communities, the Company has long invested in their
success—forming and managing fund entities to raise critical
capital that supports day-to-day operations, sustains resident
care, and enables the acquisition and development of future
Communities. This integrated structure reflects the Company's
ongoing commitment to stabilizing and strengthening its portfolio
for the benefit of its residents, employees, and investors.
Macroeconomic headwinds in the long-term care sector, tightening
liquidity, an ongoing SEC investigation, and active litigation
brought by DST Investors placed extraordinary strain on the
Company. The compounding challenges made it increasingly difficult
for the Debtors to sustain their capital structure or access the
liquidity necessary to support operations.
Faced with the realities, the Debtors initiated these Chapter 11
Cases to protect the value of the
enterprise and to pursue all viable restructuring and sale options
in a deliberate, orderly, and
value-maximizing manner.
The Debtors formulated the proposed Bid Procedures to establish a
flexible, comprehensive process for the solicitation, receipt, and
evaluation of proposals in a fair, transparent, and expeditious
manner. The Bid Procedures facilitate the continuation of an
ongoing, multi-track marketing process that the Debtors initiated
on the Petition Date to solicit interest in a sale of some or all
of the Debtors' assets through one or more transactions.
The Debtors seek approval of the Bid Procedures to establish an
open process for the solicitation, receipt, and evaluation of bids
in a fair, accessible, and expeditious manner.
The Bid Procedures are designed to generate the highest or
otherwise best available recoveries to the
Debtors' stakeholders by encouraging prospective bidders to submit
competitive, value maximizing bids.
The Debtors requests approval of the Sale schedule as essential to
maximizing value for the Debtors' estates:
https://urlcurt.com/u?l=ca4Kw8
In order to incentivize prospective bidders to agree to become a
Stalking Horse Bidder, the Debtors seek authorization, but not
direction, to exercise their business judgment to offer bid
protections to Stalking
Horse Bidder(s).
The Debtor proposes holding the Auction on June 24, 2026, at 10:00
a.m., prevailing Central Time (or such other date as selected by

LOVING KINDNESS: No Patient Care Concern, 1st PCO Report Says
-------------------------------------------------------------
Sara Flasher, the patient care ombudsman, filed with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania her first
report regarding the quality of patient care provided by Loving
Kindness Healthcare Systems, LLC.
Before filing the report, the PCO investigated patient care at the
company's Pittsburgh facility and communicated with the company and
other interested parties.
During an interview in June last year, two facility staff reported
job satisfaction, no concerns, and prompt management responses to
raised issues. The PCO also interviewed two consumers receiving
in-home care for approximately one year. Both reported receiving
high-quality care, expressed no complaints, and one indicated a
desire not to change providers.
The PCO observed that there were no quality-of-care concerns
identified.
The PCO believes the company's plan to enter the personal care home
business is ambitious and may be necessary to generate sufficient
revenue to meet bankruptcy court obligations. However, the PCO is
concerned that the company lacks experienced staff and working
knowledge of the regulatory requirements needed to operate a
personal care home on a day-to-day basis.

MAIN STREET: To Sell Real Estate Assets to Concord Wilshire
-----------------------------------------------------------
Main Street at Tuttle Royale LLC and its affiliate TLH-26 Giles,
LLC, seek permission from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of Florida, West Palm Beach Division, to sell
substantially all Assets, free and clear of liens, claims,
interests, and encumbrances.
The Debtors filed their petitions on September 23, 2025.
Tuttle Royale Lender, LLC f/k/a Fuse 10, LLC then filed motions to
dismiss and for relief from the automatic stay.
The Debtors subsequently received an offer from Concord Wilshire
Capital, LLP to purchase substantially all of their assets for
$60,000,000 in cash.
The Debtors, Fuse, Concord, and the Ardent Companies then attended
a judicial settlement conference under the good offices of the Hon.
Corali Lopez-Castro at which the parties reached a global
resolution of the sale.
The parties final agreements are embodied in three documents: (a)
the APA between the Debtors and Concord, (b) the related Plan and
Sale Support Agreement among the Debtors, Fuse, Debtors principal,
Brian Tuttle and Concord, and (c) an Amended Plan of Reorganization
to be filed as contemporaneously as reasonably
possible.
The Debtors have entered into a private sale with Concord pursuant
to the Asset Purchase Agreement (APA) for the purchase of the
Assets.
Fuse consents to the sale to Concord and has also agreed to certain
carveouts from its collateral and the resulting sale proceeds in
favor of the Debtors' counsel and unsecured creditors.
The Assets owned by the Debtors consist of multiple parcels of real
property located in Palm Beach County, Florida. The real estate is
a unified and contiguous tract of land known collectively as "Pod
6" of the Tuttle Royale Development.
The lienholders of the Assets are:
* Canal Tax LLC, Ram Tax Lien Fund II LP, Graymorr FL, LLC, Mercury
Funding LLC, and The Arsali Family Trust dated 12-13/2025 - Tax
Liens for 2024 Real Estate Taxes totaling $431,462.85
* The Palm Beach County Tax Collector - Tax Liens for 2025 Real
Estate Taxes totaling $470,977.00
* Tuttle Royale Lender, LLC - Senior mortgage in the minimum amount
of $60,092,400.26
* Invictus Tuttle Lender, LLC - junior mortgage in the alleged
amount of $7,768,230.71
* BC Architects AIA, Inc. - junior claim of lien in the amount of
$1,506,061.48
The Debtors engaged in extensive prepetition marketing of the Real
Properties that included engaging multiple national groups that
specialize in finding equity investments, created multiple
memorandums and pro formas, and socialized the proposal with over
100 groups.
The only serious offer that came out of that process was from the
Ardent for $48,000,000.00. The
Purchase Price offered by Concord far exceeds that offer and, in
the Debtors’ opinion, exceeds
the fair market value of the Real Properties.

MATTR CORP: DBRS Confirms BB Issuer Rating, Trend Stable
--------------------------------------------------------
DBRS Limited confirmed Mattr Corp.'s (Mattr or the Company) Issuer
Rating at BB and its Senior Unsecured Notes Credit Rating at BB
(low) with a recovery rating of RR5. Both trends are Stable.
KEY CREDIT RATING CONSIDERATIONS
On January 28, 2025, Morningstar DBRS confirmed the Company's
Issuer Rating at BB and upgraded the Senior Unsecured Notes credit
rating to BB (low) from B (high). The trends on both the credit
ratings were Stable and the Recovery Rating was changed to RR5 from
RR6. At that time, Morningstar DBRS stated that it could take a
negative credit rating action if Mattr's credit metrics were to
remain weak over a sustained period or deteriorate further (i.e.,
debt-to-EBITDA decline toward 4.0 times (x) with a commensurate
weakening of the Company's other key credit metrics), as a result
of weaker-than-expected operating performance and/or more
aggressive financial management.
Since then, the Company has worked on integrating AmerCable
Incorporated (AmerCable) and continued to grow its two business
segments: Composite Technologies and Connection Technologies.
However, operational execution has been weaker because of strong
headwinds from geopolitical and trade policy uncertainties weighing
on underlying demand. As a result, EBITDA generation was also lower
than expected, with EBITDA in F2025 now expected to reach above
$140 million relative to Morningstar DBRS' previous expectations of
above $170 million for the same period. Morningstar DBRS also
expects lower debt to help offset the impact of lower EBITDA
generation, as total adjusted debt at YE2025 is now forecast at
approximately $580 million versus approximately $600 million from
before. Despite the lower debt levels, key credit metrics are
likely to remain weaker than expected, with debt-to-EBITDA at
YE2025 now forecast to remain marginally above 4.0x relative to
Morningstar DBRS' expectations of 3.7x for the same period last
year. However, despite the underperformance, Morningstar DBRS
expects the business risk profile to continue to support the
current credit ratings and the weakness in the credit metrics to be
temporary and to resolve over the near term. This resolution stems
from the Company's efforts to integrate and grow its AmerCable
business, introduce larger pipes in the Flexpipe subsegment
allowing for incremental growth, and grow its fuel and water tank
business. Additionally, Morningstar DBRS expects the Company to
take steps to address the difficulties in its Shaw flex division
stemming from a weak Canadian industrial market and work through
the operational challenges provoked by an unfavorable
macroenvironment, while concurrently prioritizing allocation of
excess cash toward debt reduction.
CREDIT RATING DRIVERS
Morningstar DBRS could take a negative credit rating action if key
credit metrics seemed likely to remain weak over a sustained period
or deteriorate further (i.e., debt-to-EBITDA remaining meaningfully
above 4.0x with a commensurate sustained weaknesses of the
Company's other key credit metrics), as a result of
weaker-than-expected operating performance and/or more aggressive
financial management. In addition, a structural weakness in the
business risk profile owing to new competition in the Company's key
segments without sustained improvement in the financial risk
profile could also weigh on the credit ratings.
Morningstar DBRS could take a positive credit rating action should
Mattr's business risk profile continue to strengthen as the Company
integrates AmerCable and further expands its operational profile in
the existing Composite Technologies and/or the Connection
Technologies business segments while improving and maintaining key
credit metrics at levels that are commensurate with a higher credit
rating category.
EARNINGS OUTLOOK
Morningstar DBRS forecasts the Company to post more than $1.25
billion in revenues in F2025, up from $1.16 billion in the last 12
months (LTM) ended Q3 2025 and approximately $900 million in F2024
(prior to the acquisition of AmerCable). Revenues should marginally
decline to below $1.25 billion in F2026 before rebounding above
$1.35 billion in F2027. The marginally lower revenues in F2026 are
due to weaker revenue generation in the Connection Technologies
business segment but somewhat offset by growth in the Composite
Technologies segment. The weakness in the Connection Technologies
segment is due to lower-than-expected revenues in the Shaw Flex and
AmerCable subsegments. The latter is due to temporary operational
measures that should resolve over the near term and the AmerCable
subsegment should grow strongly in F2027 and beyond. In comparison,
weakness in the Shaw Flex subsegment is reflective of the
underlying broader weakness in the Canadian industrial sector,
which could persist over the near term. In line with revenue growth
in F2025 followed by a marginal decline in F2026, Morningstar DBRS
forecasts adjusted EBITDA (as calculated by Morningstar DBRS) to
rise to more than $140 million in F2025 and then temporarily
decline to below $130 million in F2026 before increasing above $150
million in F2027. This is compared with approximately $120 million
in the LTM ended Q3 2025 and approximately $100 million in F2024.
FINANCIAL OUTLOOK
Consistent with the earnings outlook, Morningstar DBRS anticipates
Mattr's cash flow from operations in F2025 and F2026 to increase
above $93 million from below $60 million in the LTM ended Q3 2025
and below $70 million in F2024. Capital expenditures (capex) should
move lower from the more than $110 million in F2024 to
approximately $65 million in F2025 and below $50 million in F2026
as the Company shifts to lower growth capex concentrated in the
AmerCable and Flexpipe subsegments and maintenance expenditures
averaging approximately $40 million annually. Overall, free cash
flow (before changes in working capital) should increase to above
$25 million in F2025 and close to $50 million in F2026 from an
outflow of $41.7 million in the LTM ended Q3 2024. Given the
elevated debt levels, Morningstar DBRS anticipates that the Company
will use its free cash flow for debt reduction in F2026 and not
conduct any share repurchases. Despite the debt reduction,
debt-to-EBITDA should remain unchanged at above 4.0x because of
lower EBITDA, before declining below 4.0x by the end of F2027 and
potentially improving further thereafter.
CREDIT RATING RATIONALE
Comprehensive Business Risk Assessment (CBRA): BB/BBL
The credit ratings are supported by Mattr's leadership position in
both of its business divisions, including further improved market
position in the Connection Technologies segment following the
acquisition of AmerCable; diverse geographic and customer bases
focused on essential infrastructure; growing manufacturing and
market presence in the important U.S. market, mitigating any impact
from adverse trade policies; strong technical expertise; and
favorable long-term economic trends that should continue to support
the business risk profile over the medium to long term. The credit
ratings also consider Mattr's labor-related challenges, sustained
focus on shareholder rewards, exposure to the volatile oil and gas
sector, fluctuating cost of raw materials, potential for an adverse
impact on revenues and margins from geopolitical issues, and its
small but growing water tank business.
Comprehensive Financial Risk Assessment (CFRA): BBH/BB
Mattr's CFRA of BBH/BB reflects Morningstar DBRS' expectations that
although the Company's key credit metrics such as debt-to-EBITDA
seem likely to remain weaker than expected over the near term, the
Company will prudently allocate excess cash towards debt reduction.
The CFRA is subject to a negative adjustment of one notch due to
the ongoing integration of AmerCable, and economic uncertainties
related to tariffs and the upcoming review of the United
States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
Intrinsic Assessment (IA): BB
The IA is based on the CBRA and CFRA. Taking into consideration
peer comparisons, among other factors, Morningstar DBRS placed the
IA in the middle of the Intrinsic Assessment Range.
Recovery Rating: RR5.
The Recovery Rating of RR5 on the Senior Unsecured Notes assumes a
fully drawn secured revolver and reflects the secured revolver's
first-lien position.
Notes: All figures are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.
MCCALLSON TAX: Gets Final OK to Use Cash Collateral
---------------------------------------------------
McCallson Tax & Accounting, LLC received final approval from the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Kansas to use cash
collateral to fund operations.
The court authorized the Debtor to use cash collateral and
inventory through April 1, subject to several conditions. The
Debtor must comply with its budget, pay only necessary operating
expenses, avoid insider payments unless customary and disclosed,
and promptly notify 22nd State Bank of any inability to cover
required expenses.
The Debtor's cash collateral comes from its accounts receivable,
inventory, and other property, subject to a UCC blanket lien held
by 22nd State Bank.
22nd State Bank will be provided with protection through
replacement liens on the Debtor's post-petition property similar to
its pre-bankruptcy collateral and monthly payments of $2,000,
beginning December 28.
Additional conditions require the Debtor to maintain insurance and
stay current on post-petition taxes.
The order further reflects an agreed framework for plan treatment,
under which the debtor will file a Chapter 11 plan recognizing
$91,698.09 as secured, with the remaining balance treated as
unsecured, and repay the secured portion over approximately 55
months at 7% interest.
The order preserves all parties' rights regarding lien validity and
priority and remains binding unless modified by further court
order.

MEYER BURGER: Plan Exclusivity Period Extended to April 17
----------------------------------------------------------
Judge Craig T. Goldblatt of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware extended Meyer Burger (Holding) Corp. and its
affiliated debtors' exclusive periods to file a plan of
reorganization and obtain acceptance thereof to April 17.
As shared by Troubled Company Reporter, based on the weighing of
the relevant factors, there is more than sufficient cause to
approve the extension of the Exclusive Periods:
* The Chapter 11 Cases have involved complex legal and factual
issues. As described in more detail in the First Day Declaration,
the Debtors commenced the Chapter 11 Cases to conduct a value
maximizing Sale Process for the benefit of their stakeholders.
Since the Petition Date, the Debtors have worked diligently to
progress the Sale Process, which culminated in the Court's approval
of a sale of substantially all of the Debtors' assets.
* The Debtors have made substantial good faith progress in the
Chapter 11 Cases while continuing to engage in discussions and
negotiations with key creditor constituencies. The Debtors have,
among other things: (i) minimized the adverse effects caused by the
commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases on their affairs by securing
various first-day relief; (ii) obtained entry of interim and final
orders approving the DIP Facility; (iii) filed their schedules and
statements; (iv) marketed and sold substantially all of their
assets through the Sale Process, (v) obtained entry of an order
establishing certain claims bar dates, and (vi) engaged in
extensive negotiations with their key stakeholders (including, most
notably, the Committee and the AHG) culminating in the execution of
the Settlement Agreement following a months' long, good faith,
arm's length, series of discussions and negotiations.
* The requested extension of the Exclusive Periods is only the
second such request made in the Chapter 11 Cases and comes just a
few months after the Petition Date. As discussed above, the Debtors
have expended substantial time and resources in: (i) stabilizing
their affairs, (ii) marketing and selling their assets through the
Sale Process, (iii) complying with the requirements of the
Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules; (iv) negotiating the
Settlement Agreement, and (v) otherwise administering their estates
for the benefit of their stakeholders.
* The Debtors are not seeking an extension to prejudice the
Debtors' creditor constituencies or grant the Debtors any unfair
bargaining leverage. The Debtors have no ulterior motive in seeking
an extension of the Exclusive Periods. The Debtors have been in
regular communication with their creditor constituencies on
numerous issues facing their estates, including formulation of a
path forward for the Chapter 11 Cases which, most recently,
resulted in the execution of the Settlement Agreement and the
filing of the Global Settlement Motion, and have worked diligently
in the prepetition and postpetition periods to maximize the value
of their estates.

MULTI-COLOR CORP: Court Approves First-Day Motions
--------------------------------------------------
Multi-Color Corporation announced that it has received approval
from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey for
first day relief related to its prepackaged Chapter 11 filed on
January 29, 2026.
The approved relief affirms that the Company will operate in the
normal course, pay all trade vendors and suppliers in full, and
maintain a strong liquidity position during the restructuring.
As part of this relief, the Court granted MCC immediate access to
$125 million of $250 million in debtor-in-possession new money
financing, provided by certain holders of MCC's secured first lien
debt and its equity sponsor, CD&R. This funding will capitalize the
business through the initial stages of the prepackaged Chapter 11
process. The Court also granted MCC authority to pay trade vendors
and suppliers in full in the ordinary course, maintain wages and
benefits without interruption, satisfy employee-related claims, and
perform other critical functions and processes necessary for MCC to
continue uninterrupted operations.
"The approval of our first day motions marks an important milestone
in our financial restructuring, which will allow us to operate in
the normal course as we deleverage our balance sheet and strengthen
our capital structure," said Hassan Rmaile, President & Chief
Executive Officer of MCC. "As we look ahead, we remain focused on
providing best-in-class solutions for our customers and executing
on our strategic priorities. We look forward to advancing through
this process to further position MCC for long-term growth and
investment to best serve our customers."
As previously announced, MCC entered into the restructuring support
agreement ("RSA") that is supported by holders of approximately 72%
in amount of MCC's secured first lien debt and CD&R. This
transaction will significantly deleverage MCC's balance sheet,
reducing its net debt load from approximately $5.9 billion to
approximately $2.0 billion. The RSA also contemplates that CD&R and
a group of MCC's existing secured lenders will provide an $889
million new common and preferred equity investment that will
support long-term growth and investment. Upon emergence, MCC will
have more than $550 million of liquidity.

NINE ENERGY: Court Okays DIP Financing, Sets March 4 Plan Hearing
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Rick Archer of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that on Tuesday,
February 3, 2026, a Texas bankruptcy judge granted oilfield
services provider Nine Energy Services interim approval to access
$56 million in Chapter 11 debtor-in-possession financing and
scheduled an early March hearing to consider confirmation of the
company's restructuring plan.

portion of the DIP facility to fund operations, maintain liquidity,
and cover administrative expenses as it moves through Chapter 11.
The financing is backed by existing lenders and is intended to

balance-sheet overhaul, according to report.
The court set a March 4, 2026 hearing to consider final approval of
the financing and address plan-related issues. Nine Energy filed
for bankruptcy protection earlier this year amid ongoing pressures
from elevated costs, customer pricing constraints, and a
challenging oilfield services market, the report relays.

NORCOLD LLC: Gets Court OK for Chapter 11 Insider Sale
------------------------------------------------------
Ben Zigterman of Law360 reports that on Wednesday, February 4,
2026, a Delaware bankruptcy court approved an insider purchase of
Norcold LLC's assets, rejecting arguments that the sale unlawfully
released insiders from potential liability through the transfer of
litigation claims.
In approving the deal, the judge said the transaction did not
prevent creditors from asserting claims against insiders and
therefore did not amount to prohibited third-party releases.
Instead, the court characterized the litigation provisions as a
permissible assignment of estate claims.
The judge further found that the sale met the requirements of the
Bankruptcy Code and reflected sound business judgment, allowing the
Chapter 11 debtor to complete the insider transaction despite
opposition, the report cites.

OCEANWIDE PLAZA: Reaches Bankruptcy Exit Deal with Creditors
------------------------------------------------------------
John Gittelsohn and Jonathan Randles of Bloomberg News report that
Oceanwide Plaza, a long-stalled real estate project in downtown Los
Angeles, has struck a settlement with creditors to exit bankruptcy,
potentially paving the way for a sale. The project's Chinese
developers have poured about $1.2 billion into the complex, which
has sat unfinished for years.
The agreement resolves a dispute among creditor groups over the
partially completed residential towers, whose graffiti-covered
exterior has earned them the nickname "Graffiti Towers."
Construction ground to a halt in 2018 after China Oceanwide's
financing collapsed amid tighter controls on foreign investments by
Beijing, according to report.
Sources familiar with the negotiations said a buyer is in talks to
acquire the property, though any deal depends on final approval of
the bankruptcy settlement. Located across the street from the
Crypto.com Arena, the project has been widely criticized as a
blight on the city's downtown core.
Oceanwide's lawyers told the court that city officials support the
settlement, citing the importance of completing the project ahead
of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. The project entered bankruptcy in
2024, still burdened by unpaid property taxes, and the deal would
allow LA Development Investment LP to assert a $230 million claim,
alongside hundreds of millions in additional creditor claims, the
report states.

OFFICE PROPERTIES: Seeks to Extend Plan Exclusivity to April 28
---------------------------------------------------------------
Office Properties Income Trust and its affiliates asked the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas to extend their
exclusivity periods to file a plan of reorganization and obtain
acceptance thereof to April 28 and August 31, 2026, respectively.
The Debtors explain that Courts may consider a variety of factors
in determining whether "cause" exists to extend a debtor's
exclusive period for filing a plan.
The Debtors claim that the application of these factors to the
facts and circumstances of the Chapter 11 Cases demonstrates that
the requested extension of the Exclusive Periods is both
appropriate and necessary.
* First Factor. The size and complexity of the issues
attendant to these cases warrants approval of the requested relief.
In this regard, the Debtors have over $2 billion in funded debt and
a complex capital structure that includes multiple tranches of debt
secured and/or guaranteed by various property "silos," which, in
turn, implement separate cash management systems and property
operations.
* Second & Eighth Factors. A mere few months have elapsed
since the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases on October 30, 2025,
and termination of the Exclusive Periods at this juncture, just as
the Debtors have stabilized their operations, filed their chapter
11 plan, and obtained final approval on the material terms of
postpetition financing, would adversely impact the Debtors' efforts
to preserve and maximize the value of their estates and progress
the Chapter 11 Cases, as they would potentially face the prospect
of a competing plan in the event that the existing Plan was not
confirmed on the currently anticipated timeline.
* Third Factor. Beginning on November 5, 2025, the Debtors
have been engaged in ongoing efforts to drive stakeholder consensus
for the majority of the Chapter 11 Cases. While the First Mediation
terminated, the Debtors, the September 2029 Ad Hoc Group, the
Unsecured Notes Ad Hoc Group, and the Committee have made
considerable progress and are continuing to pursue a comprehensive
settlement through continued mediation with the September 2029 Ad
Hoc Group, Unsecured Notes Ad Hoc Group, and the Committee.
* Fourth Factor. The significant progress that the Debtors
have made in the Chapter 11 Cases, which has included securing
authorization to obtain postpetition financing on substantively
improved terms reflected by the Final DIP Hearing Resolutions,
filing the Plan and the Disclosure Statement and setting a date for
the Confirmation Hearing, engaging in extensive mediation efforts
with all creditor ad hoc groups and the Committee, and commencing
discovery and securing a consensual case timeline for the 2027
Senior Secured Notes Claim Challenge contemplating the resolution
of all 2027 Senior Secured Notes Claims in conjunction with the
Confirmation Hearing, evidences satisfaction of the fourth factor.
* Fifth & Sixth Factors. The Debtors have already filed a
confirmable plan supported by various case constituents and do not
seek the extension of the Exclusive Periods as a means to exert
pressure on the relevant parties in interest. To build broader
support of such Plan, the Debtors have engaged in meaningful, good
faith mediation with other major creditors, and will continue to
engage in such further mediation with the September 2029 Ad Hoc
Group, the Unsecured Notes Ad Hoc Group, and the Committee in
advance of the Confirmation Hearing to reach an agreement on the
Debtors' restructuring.
* Seventh Factor. The Debtors continue to make timely payments
on their undisputed postpetition obligations. As set forth in the
monthly operating reports filed to date, as of December 31, 2025,
the Debtors have made approximately $67 million in disbursements
since the Petition Date and have a total cash balance of
approximately $73 million. Moreover, the Debtors secured Court
authorization to obtain postpetition financing in the aggregate
principal amount of up to $125 million pursuant to the modified
terms outlined in the Final DIP Hearing Resolutions.
* Ninth Factor. The Debtors are engaged in the ongoing 2027
Senior Secured Notes Claim Challenge with the 2027 Senior Secured
Notes Trustee and 2027 Ad Hoc Group regarding the disallowance of
approximately $76.4 million of OID on such notes. The Debtors are
also defendants to the ICA Adversary Proceeding which allegedly
bears on the Restructuring Support Agreement and the DIP Facility.
The need to resolve the valuation of the 2027 Senior Secured First
Lien Collateral Properties before Confirmation and the adversary
proceedings before the Chapter 11 Cases can be fully closed weighs
in favor of this final factor.

OM SAI MED: Claims to be Paid from Property Sale Proceeds
---------------------------------------------------------
OM Sai Med Center, LLC filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of Texas a Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement
dated January 28, 2026.
The Debtor owns and operates the Fairbridge Inn & Suites located at
6712 Morningside Drive, Houston, Texas (the "Hotel").
Under the Plan the Debtor will employ real estate broker Marcus and
Millichap to immediately market and sell the Hotel and the
associated personal property. The Debtor will use the net proceeds
of sale to pay Secured and Unsecured Claimants in order of
priority.
The Debtor believes the proceeds of a foreclosure sale of the real
property would yield approximately 70% of market value, and that an
auction of the personal property would yield approximately 50% of
market value, and that the cost of liquidation would be
approximately 1% of the sale amounts.
Under this Plan, however, the Debtor will sell all its Assets at an
orderly sale at market value and pay Allowed Secured Claims in
full. Unsecured Claimants will receive their Pro Rata share of the
proceeds remaining after payment of Secured Claims. Therefore,
Creditors will receive more under this Plan than they would in a
Chapter 7 liquidation.
Class 6 consists of Allowed Unsecured Claims. These Claims shall be
satisfied by the Debtor's distribution of each Claimant's Pro Rata
share of any proceeds of sale remaining after sale of the Debtor's
real and personal property and full payment of Classes 1, 2, 3, 4
and 5. These Claims are Impaired, and the holders of these Claims
are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.
Class 7 consists of Equity Interests. Equity Interests shall be
retained by the owners of said Interests.
The Debtor will make all payments under the Plan from the net
proceeds generated by the sale of the Hotel, the personal property
associated with the Hotel, and the Debtor's cash. Should the Debtor
be unable to obtain a binding contract within 90 days from the
Effective Date to sell the Hotel at a price sufficient to pay Class
1 to 5 Claims in full pursuant to the Plan, any of the Class 1 to 5
Claimants may then exercise their statutory or contractual remedies
against the Debtor and its Assets, including foreclosure on the
Hotel.
On the Confirmation Date of the Plan, all property of the Estate
shall vest in the Debtor pursuant to sections 1141(b) and (c) of
the Bankruptcy Code, free and clear of all Claims and interests
except as otherwise provided in this Plan. This Plan will evidence
the release of all Liens or encumbrances against all property dealt
with by the Plan, unless such Lien or encumbrance is specifically
retained in the Plan.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Pretium Packaging, L.L.C. and affiliates filed with the U.S.

81.2 percent of the outstanding Second Lien Term Loans
(collectively, the "Consenting Lenders") through a prepackaged
chapter 11 plan of reorganization.
The Company has spent significant time over the past several months
working with its key economic stakeholders, including (a) its
primary equity sponsor Clearlake Capital Group, L.P. (together with
certain of its affiliates, "Clearlake" or the "Sponsor") and (b) an
ad hoc group of lenders (the "Ad Hoc Group") to explore strategic
alternatives that maximize value for stakeholders and best position
the Company for success.
On December 30, 2025, the Company entered into the Restructuring
Support Agreement with lenders holding approximately 83.6 percent
of the First Lien Tranche A-1 Term Loans and 75.6 percent of the

* the Company will raise up to $533.5 million of new money DIP
Term Loans from the Holders of First Lien Tranche A-1 Claims, fully
backstopped by the Backstop Parties in accordance with the Backstop
Commitment Letter attached hereto as Exhibit H, the outstanding
principal amount of which will, on the Effective Date, convert on a
cashless, dollar-for-dollar basis into the Exit First-Out Term
Loans;
* in addition to the opportunity to fund the DIP Term Loans
and the Exit First-Out Term Loans, Holders of First Lien Tranche
A-1 Claims will receive (i) First Lien New Equity equal to 72.5
percent of New Equity in the Reorganized Debtors, subject to
dilution as set forth in the Plan and (ii) approximately $500
million of Exit Second-Out Term Loans;
* as consideration for the Holders of the First Lien Tranche
A-1 Claims to participate in the funding of the DIP Term Loans and
the Exit First-Out Term Loans, they will receive the Participation
Premium equal to 10 percent of the aggregate committed amount,
payable in New Equity, which will dilute the First Lien New
Equity;
* as consideration for the Backstop Parties to backstop 100
percent of the DIP Term Loans and the Exit First-Out Term Loans,
they will receive the Backstop Premium equal to 11.5 percent of the
aggregate backstop commitment payable in New Equity, in accordance
with the Backstop Commitment Letter attached hereto as Exhibit H,
which will dilute the First Lien New Equity;
* the New Money Investor will make a $50 million New Money
Investment in exchange for New Money New Equity equal to 21.9
percent of New Equity;
* General Unsecured Claims will be paid in full in the
ordinary course of business or otherwise Unimpaired; and
* Existing Interests in Poseidon Parent L.P., the ultimate
parent entity of the Debtors, will be canceled without
distribution.
Class 6 consists of General Unsecured Claims. Each Holder of an
Allowed General Unsecured Claim shall receive, in full and final
satisfaction of such General Unsecured Claim, at the option of the
applicable Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, either (i) Reinstatement
of such Allowed General Unsecured Claim pursuant to section 1124 of
the Bankruptcy Code or (ii) payment in full in Cash on the
Effective Date. The allowed unsecured claims total $16.1 million.

PROSPECT MEDICAL: No Patient Care Concerns, 6th PCO Report Says
---------------------------------------------------------------
Suzanne Koenig, the patient care ombudsman, filed with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas her sixth
report regarding the quality of patient care provided by Prospect
Medical Holdings and its affiliates.
In her report, which covers the period from November 29, 2025 to
January 27, 2026, the ombudsman developed a standardized
methodology to ensure consistent reporting by her representatives
across the healthcare providers' multiple hospital locations.
Each site visit included the ombudsman and a nurse representative
from SAK Healthcare who met with hospital leadership, toured the
facilities, interviewed key staff and patients when possible, and
reviewed hospital records as part of the assessment.
The ombudsman did not observe any material patient care issues
requiring the court's immediate attention, though individual
hospital reports provide detailed analyses. She did note areas
where the hospitals could improve the patient care experience and
has discussed these with the healthcare providers.
The ombudsman commended Rhode Island Hospital staff for their
dedication during this uncertain period as the hospitals prepare
for potential closure, noting no significant increase in call-outs
or resignations following the Debtors' announcement.
The ombudsman observed no staffing issues that endangered patients;
staffing levels appeared sufficient and interviewed patients
reported satisfaction with responsive and respectful care.
Ms. Koenig found no concerns with the procurement of necessary
items, and supply rooms appeared adequately stocked to support safe
patient care.

SAKS GLOBAL: Ends 'Saks on Amazon' Partnership
----------------------------------------------
Saks Global, which recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, is
ending its partnership with Amazon to sell products through the
"Saks on Amazon" platform, a source told Reuters. The arrangement
was part of a deal following Amazon's $475 million investment in
the retailer in 2024, but struggled to attract participation from
top luxury brands and imposed hefty payment obligations on Saks.
As the retailer restructures under bankruptcy protection, it has
exercised its right to wind down the contract in order to refocus
efforts on its own e-commerce site, Saks.com, where it believes it
can better control traffic and brand presentation. The partnership
had obligated Saks to pay Amazon roughly $900 million over eight
years, terms that the company no longer sees as aligned with its
strategy, the report states.
An Amazon spokesperson said its broader luxury offerings continue
to grow with new brands, though the legal teams for both companies
have signaled potential disputes in bankruptcy court over
collateral and contractual commitments. Saks declined to comment on
the development.

SAN FRANCISCO CARE: Amends Unsecured Claims Pay Details
-------------------------------------------------------
San Francisco Care Center, LP submitted a First Amended Combined
Plan of Liquidation and Disclosure Statement dated January 28,
2026.
Until recently, the Debtor, doing business as The Avenue, operated
an assisted living facility for elderly and memory care residents,
located at 1035 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94109 (the
"Property").
After extensive marketing of the Property for sale, the Debtor
entered into a purchase and sale agreement with The San Francisco
Housing Accelerator Fund ("SFHAF") to sell the Property for the
price of $27,750,000, and on May 23, 2025, the Court entered the
Order Approving Sale Of Property And Related Relief, granting the
Debtor's motion to sell the Property to SFHAF or its assignee,
Swords to Plowshares Veterans Rights Organization, a nonprofit
public benefit corporation.
The sale of the Property was completed on July 9, 2025. The Debtor
now holds approximately $7.2 million in net unencumbered proceeds
from the sale of the Property, in addition to the Class 1 Fund,
encumbered by Lenox's security interest.
In the sale process, Lenox submitted a payoff demand into escrow in
an amount in excess of $19,000,000. The Debtor disputed portions of
the demand, principally with regard to demanded reimbursement of
Lenox's alleged legal costs. In order to complete the sale
notwithstanding the dispute, Lenox and the Debtor agreed to reserve
the sum of $661,000 pending resolution of that dispute. That
dispute was brought before the Court, and on September 26, 2025,
the Bankruptcy Court ruled in favor of the Debtor.
Thereafter, the Debtor brought a motion for an order requiring
Lenox to reimburse its legal costs in successfully challenging
Lenox's payoff demand. That motion was granted over Lenox's
opposition as well. In all, Lenox is required to pay over to the
Debtor the full amount of the $661,000.00 reserved funds, plus
$10,069.90. Lenox has appealed both of those rulings, and by
stipulation, the Debtor now holds the disputed amounts in the Class
1 Fund.
The Debtor's assets now consist primarily of the net proceeds of
sale of the Property, including the disputed portion of funds
related to the disputes with Lenox. Those funds will be distributed
under the Plan to administrative and priority creditors, unsecured
creditors and equity interest holders (general and limited
partners) in the order prescribed by the Bankruptcy Code, according
to the terms of the Plan.
Class 2(a) consists of General Unsecured Claims Other Than Partner
Loan Claims. The allowed unsecured claims total $6,266,509.80.
Allowed claims within Class 2(a) shall be paid as follows:
Creditors within this class will receive payment of 75% of allowed
amounts as of the Petition Date on the later of: (a) on or
immediately after the Effective Date, or (b) as soon thereafter as
their claim is allowed if disputed, without interest; subject to
the provisions.
General Partner Claim: The Debtor has scheduled a claim by its
general partner, Van Ness Care Center, a California corporation
("VNCC"), in the amount of $5,506,396.26, for unpaid management
fees invoiced and owing under the terms of the Debtor's partnership
agreement (the "GP Claim"). Upon written request, any holder of an
allowed interest within Class 3 may obtain underlying documentation
of the claim. The vice president and a major shareholder of VNCC is
Teresa Wong, who is also the responsible officer of the Debtor.
VNCC contends that the claim is allowable at least in the amount
scheduled and can be amended to increase the claim to the amount of
$6,616,574.76. The GP Claim will be treated as follows:
* Subordination: The GP Claim will be subordinated and paid
only to the extent funds are available after payment or reserves
have been made for all administrative and priority claims and all
claims within Classes 2(a) and 2(b), to the extent required by the
Plan.
* Claim Amendment: In exchange for such subordination, VNCC
shall be deemed to have timely amended the GP Claim to increase the
amount of the claim to $6,616,574.76, subject to timely challenge
as to the merits and amount of the claim, but not as to the
timeliness of such amendment.
* Objections to GP Claim: All holders of allowed interests in
Class 3 shall have an opportunity to object to the GP Claim by
filing such objection stating the detailed grounds therefor, and
serving the same on the Debtor and on VNCC within thirty days
following the date of entry of an order confirming the Plan. Such
objection will then be litigated in the Bankruptcy Court as a
contested matter, and will be subject to settlement only with
approval by the Bankruptcy Court under the standards of Rule
9019(a) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure.
Class 2(b) consists of Partner Loan Claims. The allowed unsecured
claims total $1,218,388.96. Allowed claims within Class 2(b) shall
be paid as follows:
* Full Payment: Creditors within this class will receive 100%
of the allowed amounts of such claims, plus interest from the
Petition Date until payment, at the Postpetition Rate. Each allowed
claim within this Class will be paid on the later of (a) the
Effective Date (in the event that the claimant has accepted the
settlement, without interest), or (b) the date on which an order of
this Court allowing such claim becomes final and no longer subject
to appeal or reconsideration. The "Postpetition Rate" means the
interest rate, if any, applicable contractually or under state law
to such claim.
* Optional Settlement: Each claimholder in Class 2(b) may
choose to settle their disputed claim, thereby resolving the
pending claim objection their claim, as follows: If timely
accepted, the consenting claimholder (a) shall be deemed to hold an
allowed claim in an amount equal to 50% of the claim amount stated
in the claimant’s proof of claim; and (b) shall be deemed to have
waived (i) any postpetition interest on such claim, and (ii) any
equity interest in Class 3. In order to opt for this settlement, a
claimant must check the box indicating consent on the ballot
furnished to the claimant, and timely return the completed and
signed ballot as instructed therein. Each such claimholder has an
independent opportunity to accept the settlement, separate and
apart from other claimholders.
* Reserve Fund. As of the Effective Date, the Debtor will set
aside a reserve fund (the "Class 2(b) Fund") equal to the full
amount of each claim within Class 2(b) other than those that have
been resolved and paid consensually, plus 15% thereof. The Class
2(b) Fund will be held without use except as follows: If a disputed
Class 2(b) claim becomes an allowed claim, Debtor shall immediately
distribute to the claimant from the reserve an amount equal to the
allowed amount such claim, plus interest at the Postpetition Rate,
unless such claimant and the Debtor agree to other terms. All other
funds within the Class 2(b) Fund held with respect to such claim
shall be disbursed to the Debtor.
* Continued Litigation: Failure to timely accept this
settlement will result in continued litigation of the applicable
claim objection.
On the Effective Date, all property of the estate and interests of
the Debtor will vest in the reorganized Debtor pursuant to Section
1141(b) of the Bankruptcy Code free and clear of all claims and
interests except as provided in this Plan, subject to revesting
upon conversion to Chapter 7.
Except as provided in Part 6(d) and (e), the obligations to
creditors that the Debtor undertakes in the confirmed Plan replace
those obligations to creditors that existed prior to the Effective
Date of the Plan. The Debtor's obligations under the confirmed Plan
constitute binding contractual promises that, if not satisfied
through performance of the Plan, create a basis for an action for
breach of contract under California law.

Statement dated January 28, 2026 is available at

SHAI CREATES: Unsecureds to Split $10,800 over 36 Months
--------------------------------------------------------
Shai Creates, LLC filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Eastern District of Washington a Plan of Reorganization dated
January 27, 2026.
The business began operating in January, 2020 as a brand, design,
and marketing agency.
In August 2024, the Debtor hired a full-time social media manager
with the expectation that this would be a strategic investment and
would allow the business to expand, strengthen the professional
presence, and generate new inbound business throughout the
following year. Unfortunately, this position did not materialize
the desired results and instead required extensive training,
corrections, and frequent reworking of assignments, pulling
significant time and attention away from revenue-generating
activities.
The business carried the full burden of payroll during this time
without receiving the anticipated increase in revenue. In an effort
to continue operating, the Debtor incurred debt including high
interest loans, draws from a line of credit, and use of credit
cards, all of which quickly became difficult to maintain. In
August, 2025 the Debtor made the difficult decision to let go of
the new employee as well as two additional team members in an
effort to reduce overhead and continue operations.
The Debtor has also experienced a decline in revenue following the
loss of a large contract. Facing mounting collection pressure and
the reduction in gross income, a Petition under Chapter 11,
Subchapter V was filed on January 3, 2026 (herein the "Petition
Date") in an effort to reorganize the outstanding debt and to allow
the Debtor to continue operating.
This Plan provides for unclassified administrative claims, two
classes of general unsecured claims, and one class of equity
security holders.
Class 1 consists of General Unsecured claims. Class 1 claims will
be paid a prorata share of $10,800.00. Payments will be made in the
amount of $300.00 per month following payment in full to the
Subchapter V Trustee and continue for 36 months. To maximize
efficiency for Class 1 claims and the Debtor, the Debtor may pay
the total amount to be received under the plan to each creditor as
a lump sum payment following payment in full to the Subchapter V
Trustee. This Class is impaired.
Class 2 consists of Unsecured Claim of Hasibun Nahar. The claim of
Hasibun Nahar represents an insider loan. No distribution will be
made until such time as all payments under the terms of the Plan
are paid in full.
The Plan will be funded with revenue from the Debtor's operation.
It is anticipated the Debtor's fixed expenses will remain
relatively constant moving forward with variable expenses
increasing proportionately with revenue. Debtor expects the income
and expenses to remain consistent through the life of the Plan.

2026 is available at https://urlcurt.com/u?l=9azRH9 from

SOUTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY: S&P Affirms 'BB' Rating on 2023 Rev Bonds
------------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings affirmed its 'BB' long-term rating on the
Capital Trust Authority, Fla.'s series 2023 educational facilities
revenue refunding bonds issued for Southeastern University (SEU).
The outlook is stable.
S&P said, "We analyzed the university's environmental, social, and
governance factors related to its market position and financial
performance. We believe SEU's location in Florida, with potential
for extreme weather events, elevates the university's environmental
risks. However, it carries robust insurance for named windstorms
and perils and has not reported material damage or disruption
following significant weather events in recent years. We view the
university's social and governance factors as neutral in our
analysis.
"The stable outlook reflects our expectation that SEU will at least
maintain its full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollment and other demand
metrics near current levels, continue generating modest
full-accrual operating surpluses, and hold financial resource
ratios near current levels.
"We could revise the outlook to negative or lower the rating if SEU
reports significant operating deficits resulting in a material
weakening in financial resource ratios or an inability to meet
financial covenants. We would also view a sustained weakening in
the demand profile or issuance of additional debt without
commensurate growth in resources negatively.
"We could revise the outlook to positive or raise the rating if SEU
materially increases its financial resource ratios to levels
commensurate with a higher rating while sustaining full-accrual
operating surpluses and enrollment growth."
SPIRITRUST LUTHERAN: Concordia's $51MM Bid Gets Court OK in Ch. 11
------------------------------------------------------------------
Kathleen Steele Gaivin of McKnights Senior Living reports that
Pennsylvania's bankruptcy court has cleared Concordia Lutheran
Ministries' $51 million cash purchase of six SpiriTrust Lutheran
continuing care retirement communities, including the assumption of
$7 million in HUD loans. The ruling marks a key step in
SpiriTrust's Chapter 11 proceedings.
Four of the CCRCs are in York County, with the remaining two in
Adams and Franklin counties. The communities have been operating
under life plan agreements, serving older adults in the region,
according to report.
SpiriTrust filed for bankruptcy in November after closing its home
care and hospice operations, citing a need to strengthen the
organization. The filing reported liabilities of $100 million to
$500 million and assets estimated between $50 million and $100
million, the report relays.
Founded in 1881, Concordia Lutheran Ministries is a
CARF-accredited, faith-based senior care provider. The acquisition
makes it the largest senior services network in Western
Pennsylvania. Concordia CEO Keith Frndak said the organization
looks forward to supporting residents and staff while maintaining
financial stability and care quality.

services through a network of affiliated nonprofit entities

living, personal care, assisted living, and related community-based
programs. It operates from its headquarters in York, Pennsylvania,

communities across the region.
SpiriTrust Lutheran and its affiliates sought protection under

No. 25-03341) on November 21, 2025, with up to $100 million in
assets and up to $500 million in liabilities. Melissa Frownfelter,
interim president, signed the petitions.

SPOKANE INDUSTRIES: Gets OK to Use Cash Collateral, $2M DIP Loan
----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Washington
entered an interim order authorizing Spokane Industries, LLC to use
cash collateral, granting adequate protection to secured parties,
approving post-petition financing.
The debtor is authorized, on an interim basis, to use cash
collateral and proceeds of post-petition financing strictly in
accordance with an approved budget during the interim period, which
runs through the earliest of February 27, 2026, or other
terminating events set forth in the order.
The order also approves a $2 million DIP loan from William and
Christine Martz, carrying interest at the federal judgment rate
(currently 4.21%), with no payments due for the first 12 months and
repayment over 48 months thereafter. The DIP loan is unsecured,
carries section 507(b) priority, involves no fees, and was found to
be negotiated in good faith and at arm's length, entitling the
lender to the protections of section 364(e).
As adequate protection, secured parties are granted automatically
perfected replacement liens on post-petition collateral to the
extent of any diminution in value of their interests, subject to
specified carve-outs, including professional fees and U.S. Trustee
fees funded through an approved professional fund.
The court set a final hearing for February 25, 2026, with
objections due by February 18, 2026.

STG LOGISTICS: Lenders Launch Suit Targeting Pre-Bankruptcy Deal
----------------------------------------------------------------
Angelica Serrano-Roman of Bloomberg Law reports that STG Logistics
is facing a lawsuit from minority lenders who claim a
pre-bankruptcy debt transaction carried out in 2024 violated their
contractual rights and should be invalidated.
The lenders, Axos Financial Inc. and Siemens Financial Services
Inc., allege they were excluded from the deal as part of a
bad-faith effort to favor other creditors. They brought the
complaint Wednesday in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District
of New Jersey, the report relays.
The suit argues that the transaction breached equal-treatment
provisions applicable to similarly situated lenders and materially
diminished the value of the plaintiffs' loan holdings ahead of the
company’s bankruptcy filing, according to report.

STG LOGISTICS: Minority Creditors Challenge Chapter 11 Funding
--------------------------------------------------------------
Angelica Serrano-Roman of Bloomberg Law reports that the minority
creditors of STG Logistics pushed back against the company's
Chapter 11 financing request, claiming that the proposed funding
would violate their contractual rights.
The objection, filed February 3, 2026 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the District of New Jersey by Axos Financial Inc. and Siemens
Financial Services Inc., challenged a 2024 liability management
deal that restructured STG's debt to benefit other creditors. The
minority lenders said the transaction was invalid and that their
claims must be resolved before financing could proceed, the report
states.
According to the filing, the lenders warned that without
protections, it would be "virtually impossible to 'unscramble the
egg,'" emphasizing that any DIP approval should include measures to
prevent harm to their contractual interests.

STOLI GROUP: US Arm, Kentucky Owl Start Wind-Down w/ Ch.11 Trustees
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Randi Love of Bloomberg Law reports that bankruptcy court in Texas
approved a packaged Chapter 11 arrangement for Stoli Group's U.S.
operations and bourbon subsidiary Kentucky Owl LLC, granting cash
collateral and appointing two trustees despite objections from the
Justice Department's bankruptcy watchdog.

hearing that the Wednesday-filed deal is "unorthodox" but within
the bounds of the law, allowing the companies to proceed with the
bankruptcy process under court supervision.

transition to a Chapter 11 liquidation" while providing substantial
benefits to the incoming trustees, even if certain operational
constraints temporarily limit their authority, according to
report.

SUIRAD GROUP: Proposes Immaterial Modifications to Plan
-------------------------------------------------------
Suirad Group LLC submitted a Modification to Amended Plan of
Reorganization dated January 27, 2026.
The changes described herein are to address the claims of the City
of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management and clarify its
treatment under the Plan. These modifications do not materially or
adversely affect the rights of any parties in interest which have
not had notice and an opportunity to be heard with regard thereto.
The Plan is hereby amended to add Section 6.5 to the Plan as
stated:
Class 6.5 consists of the Secured Claims of the City of Atlanta
Department of Watershed Management ("Atlanta Watershed Management")
(the "Class 6.5 Secured Claims"). Atlanta Watershed Management
filed proofs of claim 6, 7 and 8 asserting secured claims in the
amount of $1,076.63, $1,341.57, and $1,822.97, respectively (such
amount owed to Atlanta Watershed Management and as allowed by the
Court plus interest accruing pursuant to this Class 6.5 shall be
referred to herein as the "Class 6.5 Secured Claim").
Additionally, Atlanta Watershed Management asserts administrative
claims for unpaid post-petition services provided to the Debtor
through and including confirmation being approximately $883.52 (the
"Watershed Administrative Claims"). Debtor shall pay the Watershed
Administrative Claims in a lump sum within fifteen days of the
Confirmation Date.
Interest shall accrue on the principal balance of the Class 6.5
Secured Claim at 7%. Debtor shall pay the Class 6.5 Secured Claims
in 36 consecutive equal monthly payments of $130.96 each.
In the event the Debtor defaults on payments pursuant Class 6.5 of
the Plan or otherwise defaults under Class 6.5 of the Plan, Atlanta
Watershed Management shall send a Default Notice in accordance with
Article 2.3 of the Plan, which must contain the basis for declaring
a default, and, in the event of a monetary default, the notice must
state the amount necessary to cure the default and an address that
will accept overnight deliveries, provided however that the Debtor
shall be afforded only one opportunity to cure a default in any
calendar year. If Debtor does not cure the default in the period
provided in Article 2.3 of the Plan, Atlanta Watershed Management
shall be authorized to terminate, alter, discontinue and/or refuse
service consistent with its established protocols and state law and
city ordinance governing the same.
Further, in the event of an uncured default in payment or
performance: (i) the entire remaining unpaid principal balance
together with earned unpaid interest shall be deemed accelerated
without notice or demand of any kind, (ii) Atlanta Watershed
Management shall have the right to terminate, alter, refuse and/or
discontinue service subject only to applicable non-bankruptcy law,
and seek such additional relief as may be appropriate in the
Bankruptcy Court. The remedies provided herein are not exclusive
and are in addition to any other remedy that is afforded by law and
Atlanta Watershed Management may commence an action to enforce the
same, with the Plan being treated and constituting a contract under
Georgia law.
Atlanta Watershed Management shall retain its rights and remedies
as a statutory lien creditor (pursuant to state law and city
ordinance) as to unpaid charges for services provided to the Debtor
with respect to any sale of the Debtor's real property pursuant to
Section 4.9 of the Plan. Atlanta Watershed Management shall be paid
by the Debtor from the sale proceeds with 10 days of the receipt of
the same all unpaid principal amounts and earned interest/charges
due Atlanta Watershed Management under the Plan (which amounts
shall be due on sale).
The Debtor shall be liable for and shall pay Atlanta Watershed
Management all billed charges for post-petition services, which
charges shall not be discharged pursuant to Sections 1192 or 1141
as applicable. If such invoices are not paid on or before the due
date Atlanta Watershed Management may discontinue, terminate, alter
or refuse services to the Debtor subject only to compliance with
state law, city ordinance and Atlanta Watershed Management's
established protocols. The rights and remedies of Atlanta Watershed
Management relating to post-petition services (including nonpayment
or any act or omission constituting cause for termination,
discontinuing, refusing or altering service) shall remain
unimpaired, undiminished and not limited in any way by the terms of
the Plan, subject only to compliance by Atlanta Watershed
Management with state law, city ordinance and established Atlanta
Watershed Management protocols.
The Claim of the Class 6.5 Creditor is Impaired by the Plan, and
the holder of Class 6.5 Claims is entitled to vote to accept or
reject the Plan.

SUPERSTAR ELIZABETH: Atlantic Union Files Liquidating Plan
----------------------------------------------------------
Atlantic Union Bank (the "Bank" or "Creditor") filed with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Columbia a Disclosure
Statement with respect to Plan of Liquidation for Superstar
Elizabeth LLC dated January 28, 2026.
The Debtor was organized as a District of Columbia limited
liability company on December 10, 2014, and began operations on or
about that time.
Superstar owns a commercial property located in the District of
Columbia as its sole asset, located at 2404 Wisconsin Avenue, NW,
Washington, DC 20007 (the "Property"). In addition, the company
leases the Property to Wine Investment Group, LLC ("WIG"), an
entity that operates a restaurant at the location.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2024, the Debtor fell behind on
the mortgage installment payments owed to the Bank. The company
incurred a lien for unpaid real property taxes owed to the District
of Columbia totaling over $64,493.95. The Bank notified the Debtor
it was in default on its loan obligations, and the Debtor filed
this Chapter 11 case in response.
Class 5 consists of all general unsecured claims allowed herein.
There are no known claims in Class 5, with the exception of any
Class 2, Class 3, and Class 4 claims converted to Class 5 after the
sale of the Property by the Liquidating Trustee. It is not
anticipated that there will be funds available to distribute to
this class.
Class 6 consists of Holders of Interests. The owner of the
membership interests in the Debtor will retain their interests as
owner herein. Class 6 is conclusively presumed to have accepted the
Plan and, therefore, Holders of Class 6 Interests are not entitled
to vote to accept or reject the Plan.
Under this Plan, a Liquidating Trustee shall be appointed by the
court to sell the Property and pursue any of the Debtor's rights
under the Lease. The Liquidating Trustee shall have all of the
powers set forth in Section 1104 of the Bankruptcy Code and the
duties set forth in Section 1106 of the Bankruptcy Code.
Under the current valuation of the Property, a market sale would
likely result in a sales price of approximately $3,000,000.00. In
addition, the Liquidating Trustee may pursue damages against the
current Tenant for unpaid rent in the amount of approximately
$159,574.90.
Sources of funds for distributions to me made under the Plan
consist of income generated by the Liquidating Trustee from
business operations, rent collection, and sale of the Property
during the life of the Plan

THRYV INC: Moody's Affirms 'B3' CFR, Outlook Remains Stable
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Ratings affirmed Thryv, Inc.'s (Thryv) B3 Corporate Family
Rating, the B3-PD Probability of Default Rating and the B3 senior
secured first lien term loan B rating. Thryv's Speculative Grade
Liquidity (SGL) rating remains unchanged at SGL-3 reflecting
adequate liquidity. The outlook remains stable.
RATINGS RATIONALE
Thryv's B3 CFR reflects elevated leverage, an evolving business
model, and a still sizable but rapidly declining exposure to
structurally shrinking print and internet-based directory services.
The company also faces intense competition in the large, fragmented
Software as a Service (SaaS) market for small business customers.
Thryv's SaaS segment has the potential to stabilize the company's
revenue trajectory over the next two years; however, growth has
slowed recently and competition is significant. Counterbalancing
these credit challenges are Thryv's consistently positive free cash
flow and management's publicly stated commitment to repaying debt.
Moody's expects SaaS revenue growth will slow to the mid- to low
single digits in 2026, compared to about 25% last year, as Thryv
transitions to a new unified software platform and small businesses
contend with economic and tariff challenges. Supported by Keap,
Thryv's new SaaS platform will diversify Thryv away from its
Marketing Services client base to a unified SaaS model.
Thryv's Moody's-adjusted leverage rose to 3.7x as of September 2025
from 2.7x a year earlier, with no significant deleveraging expected
in 2026. This reflects lower LTM September 2025 EBITDA from working
capital related dynamics associated with long term print directory
contracts that are collected monthly over time and legacy system
decommissioning, partially offset by growth in SaaS EBITDA.
Moody's expects that by the end of 2026 Thryv's SaaS business will
account for the clear majority of total revenue (around 75%) and it
will remain the dominant source of revenue and earnings going
forward. Thryv plans to exit its Marketing Services segment by the
end of 2028 and become a pure-play software business. To reflect
this, the company will now be analyzed under the Software
methodology published in December 2025. Moody's previously analyzed
Thryv under the Media methodology published in September 2025.
Thryv's SGL-3 rating reflects Moody's expectations that Thryv will
maintain adequate liquidity over the next 12-18 months. Moody's
projects a free cash flow of approximately $60 million for 2026,
representing an increase compared to last year. This growth is
attributable to working capital dynamics related to long-term print
directory contracts, which are collected on a monthly basis over
time. Beginning in Q2 2026, annual required amortization steps down
to 10% or $35 million through the term loan maturity from $52
million currently. Thrive prepaid its term loan amortization
through June 2026 and it will have to make two $8.75 million
quarterly amortization payments in September and December 2026.
Thryv's annual capex has historically been around $30 million and
Moody's do not expect it to change materially over the next 12-18
months.
For its external liquidity, the company relies on a revolving asset
backed facility (ABL, unrated) of up to $85 million maturing in May
2028. As of September 30, 2025, Thryv had $40.5 million outstanding
on its ABL line and there was borrowing base availability of
approximately $63 million (or roughly $14 million available to be
drawn after accounting for excess availability requirement and
letters of credit). The ABL agreement requires that Thryv maintain
compliance with a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio that must
exceed 1x measured at quarter ends and requires excess availability
of at least $8.5 million at all times. As of LTM Sept 2025, Thryv's
fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.66x, providing a good headroom
over the requirement. Based on Moody's expectations of modest
improvement in annual free cash flows this year, Moody's expects
Thryv's reliance on the ABL to decline over the next 12-18 months.
The senior secured term loan, which matures in May 2029, is
governed by a 3x maximum total net leverage financial covenant and
a minimum SaaS revenue growth covenant. The company's leverage in
accordance with the covenant definition was 1.88x as of September
30, 2025, providing still adequate cushion under the requirement.
The SaaS revenue covenant requires the company to report SaaS
revenue that exceeds minimum quarterly thresholds for each fiscal
quarter. Moody's expects that Thryv will maintain adequate cushion
of at least 20% over this requirement over the next four quarters.
Thryv's credit agreement requires a 50% excess cash flow sweep when
total net leverage exceeds 1x, stepping down to 25% and 0% when it
is above 0.5x and less than or equal to 0.5x, respectively.
The B3 rating on the senior secured credit facility is based on the
probability of default of the company, as reflected in the B3-PD
Probability of Default Rating, an average expected family recovery
rate of 50% at default and the preponderance of term loan debt in
the structure.
The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectations for improvement in
free cash flow compared to 2025, mid-single digit SaaS revenue
growth and continued focus on debt repayment.
FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS
Ratings could be upgraded if the company (i) generates strong
growth in its SaaS business that offsets revenue and EBITDA
declines in Marketing Services segment leading to at least a
mid-single digit percent consolidated revenue and EBITDA growth;
(ii) generates free cash flow so that Moody's adjusted FCF/debt is
sustained above 10% along with good liquidity; (iii) maintains
Moody's adjusted leverage below 2.5x with a clearly articulated
financial policy supporting operating with low leverage.
Ratings could be downgraded if leverage does not steadily decline
in 2026 or liquidity weakens. Increasing debt refinancing risks,
failure to improve free cash flow compared to 2025 level or to grow
SaaS revenue and EBITDA could also result in a downgrade.
Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, Thryv (Nasdaq: THRY) provides
small-to-medium sized businesses with Software as a Service (SaaS)
sales and marketing platform designed to attract new and repeat

expects to exit by the end of 2028. Thryv owns and operates Print
Yellow Pages and Internet Yellow Pages and offers digital marketing
and media services, such as Search Engine Marketing, online display
advertising, search engine optimization (SEO), and standalone

The principal methodology used in these ratings was Software
published in December 2025.
The net effect of any adjustments applied to rating factor scores
or scorecard outputs under the primary methodology(ies), if any,
was not material to the ratings addressed in this announcement.

TREE LANE: Unsecureds Will Get 2% to 16% of Claims in Plan
----------------------------------------------------------
Tree Lane LLC and Skylark (UK) Servicer, LLC, senior secured
lender, filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central
District of California a Disclosure Statement describing Plan of
Liquidation dated January 28, 2026.
The Debtor is a limited liability company organized and existing
under the laws of the State of California, in the business of
luxury residential real estate development.
The Debtor's primary asset is a residential real property
development project located at 2451 Summitridge Drive, Beverly
Hills, California 90210, originally consisting of two fee parcels
and two easement parcels of land comprising approximately 4.02
acres ("Property"). The Debtor acquired the Property in 2013
intending to develop it into residential housing (the "Project").
The Debtor was unable to complete the Project as originally
intended and commenced these cases to reorganize its affairs.
The Debtor's main asset is a parcel of undeveloped land referred to
in the Plan as the "Tree Lane Parcel." The Debtor has
unsuccessfully attempted to sell the Tree Lane Parcel for nearly
one year. Under the Plan, the Tree Lane Parcel will be sold
pursuant to an auction process that is designed to produce the most
value to creditors under the circumstances. Among other things,
Skylark Servicer, the Debtor's senior secured prepetition lender
and DIP lender, has agreed to serve as a stalking horse.
Skylark Servicer has made a "Stalking Horse Bid" in the following
amount: (a) a credit bid of the DIP Facility (in the principal
amount of $9,250,000), (b) payment of $1 million to the Estate (the
"Estate Contribution") to fund winddown activities and
distributions to Allowed General Unsecured Creditors, (c) payment
of back property taxes and association fees and (d) payment of
closing costs, including broker's commissions. The Stalking Horse
Bid is subject to higher and better offers, which could improve
recoveries to Allowed General Unsecured Creditors.
The Plan also provides for the creation of the Liquidating Trust
and the appointment of the Liquidating Trustee to administer and
liquidate all Assets of the Debtor remaining after the sale of the
Tree Lane Parcel, including certain Cash and the Retained Causes of
Action, and to distribute Plan payments in accordance with the
Plan.
The Debtor believes that it has valid causes of action against
Zachary Vella on account of a lot line adjustment that the Debtor
believes was unauthorized and fraudulent. Any net proceeds received
by the Debtor from such Retained Causes of Action will be used to
fund recoveries to Allowed General Unsecured Creditors. Recoveries
from the Estate Contribution will go to Allowed General Unsecured
Creditors not including any deficiency owed to Skylark Servicer.
Distributions from Retained Causes of Action will include payments
to Skylark Servicer on account of its deficiency.
The Plan further provides for the termination of all membership
interests in the Debtor, and the dissolution and the wind-up of the
affairs of the Debtor. The Plan also provides for the satisfaction
of all Allowed Administrative Claims and Allowed Priority Claims,
as required by the Bankruptcy Code.
Class 9 consists of General Unsecured Claims against the Debtor.
Each Holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim will receive a
beneficial interest in the Liquidating Trust which will allow it to
receive its Pro Rata share of Distributions made to Holders of
General Unsecured Claims from the Liquidating Trust; provided, that
Skylark Servicer shall not be entitled to receive Distributions
funded by the Estate Contribution.
The Debtor anticipates that Holders of Allowed General Unsecured
Claim except the Skylark Servicer will receive a pro rata
distribution of 2% to 16% of such Allowed General Unsecured Claim.
The Distribution to Allowed General Unsecured Claims depends on the
outcome of the Retained Causes of Action. Class 9 Claims are
Impaired under the Plan.
The Debtor estimates the Allowed General Unsecured Claims to total
approximately $22,000,000 (excluding the portion of the Allowed
Skylark Servicer Claim in the amount of $19.9 million remaining
after the Sale). Depending on the success of objections to Claims
the range of total general unsecured claims (excluding the portion
of the Allowed Skylark Servicer Claim in the amount of $19.9
million remaining after the Sale) is anticipated to be $16.8
million to $43.7 million.
Class 10 consists of Interests in the Debtor, which are owned 100%
by Summitridge. Holders of Interests will neither receive nor
retain any property under the Plan on account of their Interests.
Therefore, the Holders of Interests are not entitled to vote and
are conclusively presumed to have rejected the Plan pursuant to
Section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code.
All Cash on hand on the Effective Date and the Estate Contribution
shall be used to fund Administrative Claims, Professional Fee
Claims and Priority Tax Claims (other than the LA County Property
Tax Claims and the Secured Claims of Bella Vista, which shall be
paid from the Stalking Horse Cash Amount). Distributions to the DIP
Facility Claim, Allowed Secured Claims in Classes 1 through 7, and
Other Secured Claims shall be funded from Sale Proceeds.
Distributions to Allowed General Unsecured Claims shall be made
from the Estate Contribution and the liquidation of the Excluded
Assets. The Liquidating Trust shall be funded with the Estate
Contribution received from Skylark Servicer or the Winning Bidder
from the Sale of the Purchased Assets plus Cash remaining from the
DIP Financing.

TRICOLOR AUTO: Founders Gets OK to Use Insurance for Fraud Defense
------------------------------------------------------------------
Steven Church of Bloomberg Law reports that Daniel Chu, founder and
former CEO of bankrupt subprime auto lender Tricolor Holdings,
secured court approval Wednesday, February 3, 2026, to use a
portion of the company's insurance coverage to pay his legal
defense costs amid federal fraud allegations. The ruling took place
in the Chapter 7 liquidation case in Texas bankruptcy court.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Michelle V. Larson agreed to release about
$5 million from Tricolor's directors and officers liability
insurance to cover attorney fees and related expenses for Chu and
other covered individuals. U.S. prosecutors in New York have
accused Chu of engaging in deceptive practices that defrauded
lenders and investors leading up to the company's collapse,
according to report.
The trustee overseeing the bankruptcy had sought limits on
individual draws from the insurance pool, but the court's decision
favored allowing broader access for defense costs. Additional
coverage beyond the initial $5 million remains subject to further
court applications, Bloomberg reports.

TROUSDALE LIVING: Court OKs Bid to Appoint Examiner
---------------------------------------------------
Judge Charles Walker of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle
District of Tennessee granted the motion by Donna Smith, as
personal representative of the Estate of Mary Dooley, to appoint an
examiner in Trousdale Living Communities, Inc.'s bankruptcy case.
Judge Walker directed the Office of the U.S. Trustee for Region 8
to appoint an examiner.
In her motion filed on December 29, 2025, Ms. Smith asserted that
the court should grant the examiner the expanded powers to select
the successful bidder at the auction, and to manage the sale
process through closing in light of Trousdale's unavoidable
conflict of interest, and the irregularities apparent in its
handling of the auction process.
Accordingly, a relief granted pursuant to this motion should
preserve the opportunity for a proposed examiner to have expanded
duties should additional assets or causes of action be identified
that could produce a benefit to the estate.
Moreover, counsel for Ms. Smith concedes that pursuant to
Bankruptcy Code Section 1181(a), the provisions of Bankruptcy Code
Section 1104 do not apply to a case properly pending under
Subchapter V; however, this reorganization is clearly misfiled. Ms.
Smith will eminently file a separate motion objecting to
Trousdale's Subchapter V designation under Bankruptcy Code Section
1182, on two obvious grounds.
In the first instance, Bankruptcy Code Section 1182 removed any
doubt that Subchapter V places a current debt limit for eligibility
at $3,424,000 in aggregate, noncontingent, liquidated secured and
unsecured debts. This cap reflects an adjustment that became
effective on April 1, 2025: The augmented $7,500,000 cap applicable
under the CARES Act expired of its own terms, such that there was a
reversion to the original statutory base amount, subject to
inflation adjustments.
In the second instance, only a "small business debtor" is eligible
for relief under Subchapter V, and this term is defined pursuant to
Bankruptcy Code Section 101(51D). However, by its own admissions,
Trousdale does not fall within this definition.

TWILIO INC: Moody's Upgrades CFR to Ba1, Outlook Stable
-------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Ratings upgraded Twilio Inc.'s (Twilio) ratings, including
the corporate family rating to Ba1 from Ba2, the probability of
default rating to Ba1-PD from Ba2-PD, and the senior unsecured debt
rating to Ba1 from Ba2. The outlook is stable. The outlook was
previously positive.
The upgrade is driven by the expectation of continued growth in
revenue, EBITDA and free cash flow and maintenance of conservative
financial policies.
RATINGS RATIONALE
Twilio's Ba1 CFR reflects the company's solid growth potential,
strong market position, and substantial cash balances. While
revenue growth slowed significantly in 2023 and 2024 from earlier
periods, revenue growth improved in 2025 to double digit levels
though not to historic highs. In addition, margins and free cash
flow continue to improve from pre-2023 negative levels. Although
share repurchases have moderated in 2025, free cash flow after
share buybacks was negative in the twelve months ended September
2025. Moody's adjusted leverage was around 4x as of September 2025
but was around 1x when adding back non-cash stock compensation.
Twilio benefits from its strong market position as the largest
provider in a segment of the Communications Platform as a Service
(CPaaS) industry. The company also benefits from a leading position
in the broader Communications Experience as a Service (CXaaS)
industry. A substantial portion of Twilio's success is driven by
its focus catering to software developers with application
programming interfaces (APIs) for a broad range of communications
platforms including messaging, voice and email. Moody's expects
that Twilio will continue to grow at a high single digit rate or
greater over the next two years supported by advances in digital
communications software applications, increasing usage as well as
potential benefits from Twilio's recent and upcoming AI offerings.
These tail winds should continue to support usage growth with
Twilio's existing customer base and continued potential to add new
customers.
The credit profile also benefits from Twilio's substantial net cash
position. Although reduced from peak levels above $4 billion as a
result of elevated share buybacks (over $2 billion in buybacks in
2024), Moody's expects the company will maintain cash in excess of
debt levels over the next two years as the company moderates the
pace of buybacks.
The SGL-1 Speculative Grade Liquidity rating reflects Twilio's
exceptional cash balances and significant cash generating
capabilities. The company does not have a revolving credit
facility. Moody's expects the company will generate over $900
million of free cash flow annually over the next two years. The
company has indicated that share buybacks will be managed within
free cash flow and down substantially from 2024 levels.
Twilio's debt structure consists of two unsecured note issuances
only, with the earliest maturity in 2029. Given that the unsecured
debt is the only funded debt in the capital structure, it is rated
the same as the CFR.
The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectations of continued high
single digit/low double digit revenue growth, as well as EBITDA and
free cash flow growth. Moody's expects the company will be
acquisitive with most acquisitions funded with free cash flow.
Moody's also expects share buybacks to consume a substantial
portion of free cash flow but will be moderated based on the pace
of acquisitions.
FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS
The ratings could be upgraded if Twilio continues to grow revenues,
maintain profitability and demonstrate conservative financial
policies, including moderating share buyback levels and sustaining
Moody's adjusted leverage below 3x.
The ratings could be downgraded if revenue, profitability or market
position decline or the company adopts more aggressive financial
policies or if leverage is sustained above 4x or liquidity
materially weakens. Maintenance of cash levels well in excess of
debt levels provides some cushion in ratings considerations.
Twilio Inc., headquartered in San Francisco, CA, creates and
provides communications oriented APIs to its software developer
customer base. These APIs enable software developers to digitize
communications and improve customer engagement through messaging,
voice, email, and other modes of communication. Twilio Inc. is a
public company with an independent board of directors. The company
generated revenues of around $4.9 billion in the twelve months
ended September 30, 2025.
The principal methodology used in these ratings was Software
published in December 2025.
The net effect of any adjustments applied to rating factor scores
or scorecard outputs under the primary methodology(ies), if any,
was not material to the ratings addressed in this announcement.
UNRIVALED BRANDS: $32.5M Unsecured Claims to Get GUC Distribution
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Unrivaled Brands, Inc. and Halladay Holding, LLC submitted a
Disclosure Statement describing First Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan
dated January 28, 2026.
As of the Petition Date, Halladay's primary asset was Halladay's
real property located at 3242 S. Halladay Street, Santa Ana,
California, 92705 (APN 411-151-04) (the "Property" or the "Halladay
Property" or "Halladay's Property").
On November 16, 2023, Halladay entered into a purchase agreement
(the "Purchase Agreement") with Gordineer LLC (the "Buyer") for the
sale (the "Sale") of the Property for a purchase price of
$5,303,320.00 and an original projected scheduled closing of May
16, 2024, which had to be extended multiple times with five
amendments due to the ongoing prepetition litigation tactics by
Peoples.
The Sale closed on February 14, 2025. On February 24, 2025, Debtors
filed a notice of the Sale closing with the Bankruptcy Court and
attached thereto a true and correct copy of the closing statement
and related documents. Property taxes, commissions, closing costs,
and the first deed of trust were paid from escrow, and, on February
18, 2025, Debtors' general bankruptcy counsel received a wire for
the net sale proceeds in the amount of $1,593,637.21, in accordance
with the Court's Sale Order.
The Plan is a liquidation plan with a "pot plan" distribution to
pay creditors shortly after the Effective Date and establish a
liquidating trust (the "Liquidating Trust") with a liquidation
trustee ("Liquidation Trustee") to monetize assets of the estates
and distribute them to creditors.
Class 6 consists of all allowed general unsecured claims of
Halladay not included in any other class. Class 6 claim holders
will be paid in full on the Plan Effective Date with applicable
interest. Estimated amount of asserted Class 6 claims is $0. This
Class is unimpaired.
Class 7 consists of all allowed general unsecured claims of
Unrivaled not included in any other class. In full and final
satisfaction of each, any, and all of their claims against the
Debtors, on the Plan Effective Date, each holder of an allowed
Claim in Class 7 will receive its pro rata share of the "GUC
Distribution," to be distributed by the Liquidating Trustee.
Estimated amount of asserted Class 7 claims is $32.5 million
(subject to objections).
Class 8 consists of the sole member of Halladay. The Class 8 equity
interests will be cancelled, and all distributions that Class 8
would otherwise receive will upstream to the Liquidating Trust
under the Plan.
Class 9 consists of the sole shareholder of Unrivaled. The Class 9
equity interests will be cancelled, and all distributions that
Class 9 would otherwise receive will be transferred to the
Liquidating Trust under the Plan.
The Plan will be funded with the sale proceeds of the proposed sale
of the Halladay Property, employee retention tax credit refunds,
receipt of the Mystic Shares for sale postconfirmation by the
Liquidating Trust, and the assets to be transferred to the
Liquidation Trust.

VIA MIZNER: Seeks to Sell Boca Raton Property at Auction
--------------------------------------------------------
Via Mizner Owner II, LLC, seeks approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of Florida, West Palm Beach
Division, to sell substantially all Assets at auction, free and
clear of liens, claims, interests, and encumbrances.
The Debtor's Property is located at 103 E. Camino Real, Boca Raton,
Florida 33432.
The Debtor is currently in its exclusive period to pursue
refinancing. However, as part of the collaborative process for the
cases between the Debtor and its secured lender to restructure the
secured lender's debt, the Debtor files the Motion out of an
abundance of caution in case the Debtor determines that pursuing
refinancing or other restructuring is less advantageous than a sale
process.
The Debtor owns and the luxury hotel under construction at 103 E.
Camino Real, Boca Raton, FL 33432. The Real Property constitutes a
phase of a greater development which consists of an apartment
tower, a hotel tower, a condominium tower, and an offsite county
club.
The Debtor values the Real Property, once completed, in excess of
$450,000,000.
The Debtor's primary secured creditor is TIG Romspen U.S. Master
Mortgage L.P. Romspen holds a claim secured by a perfected lien on
substantially all assets of the Debtor.
The Palm Beach County Tax Collector also has a lien on the Debtor's
real property.
The Debtor will seek to engage a qualified broker and transactional
counsel to assist with the sale or refinancing of the Debtor’s
assets. The Broker will assist the Debtors in identifying potential
refinancing partners or joint venture solutions and, if necessary,
in gathering potential bidders for the Debtor’s assets.
Since filing its chapter 11 petition, the Debtor has been working
cooperatively with Romspen to maximize the value of the Debtor’s
estate for the benefit of creditors, including Romspen.
The Debtor believes that the best way to reach the goal is through
either a refinancing or other restructuring of its secured lender's
claim.
Nothing in the Motion or in any of the relief requested modifies
the Restructuring Support Agreement between the Debtor and Romspen
or any provision of the Order approving it.
The Debtor has redacted certain dates from the list below to
protect against counterparties using knowledge of the Debtor's
timeline for negotiating leverage. The Debtor will publicly release
dates when public marketing commences.
Information about the Bid Procedures as Exhibit 1 can be found at
https://urlcurt.com/u?l=dtsDZW.
If the Debtor is unsuccessful in securing a refinancing or
restructuring, the Debtor is proposing the Bid Procedures with the
intention and goal of maximizing value for the benefit of creditors
in this Chapter 11 case via a sale of the Assets to the highest and
best bidder.
In the event of a sale rather than a refinance, the Debtor will
encourage all interested parties to develop and make a bid for the
Assets prior to the Bid Deadline.
The Debtor may elect to designate a stalking horse. As set forth in
Section II of the Bid Procedures, such Bid Procedures permit the
Debtor to elect, in the Debtor's business judgment, to designate a
stalking horse bidder and to propose special protections for same
such as a break-up fee and expense reimbursement on or prior to the
date above for a Stalking Horse Hearing.
In the event a refinance or other restructuring does not occur, the
Debtor submits that the sale of its Assets pursuant to the proposed
Bid Procedures is in the best interests of the Debtor, its
creditors, and the estate.
The Debtor believes that the Bid Procedures will promote active
bidding from any seriously interested party that may exist.

VIB TRANS: Unsecureds Will Get 9.55% of Claims over 5 Years
-----------------------------------------------------------
VIB Trans, Inc. filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of Illinois a Small Business Plan of
Reorganization dated January 28, 2026.
The Debtor was founded in 2010 by Nevena Batechka as a family
business. Her two sons assisted Nevena with their expertise in
trucking and logistics.
The business did very well between 2016 and 2022, showing high
revenues and healthy profits. VIB Trans, Inc. continued to acquire
trucks and trailers and by the end of 2023 its fleet numbered over
50 units.
Towards the end of the 2023, the overall downturn in trucking
industry caught up with the Debtor causing it to accumulate debts
in order to continue its operations. Further decline in business
caused some of the equipment to be surrendered to the lenders. The
Debtor is seeking to re-organize via a Ch 11 plan and return to
profitable operations by the end of the first quarter in 2026.
The Plan is a 5-year plan. The final Plan payment will be in
approximately 2030.
The Plan provides that all administrative creditors will be paid in
full on the Effective Date of the Plan (which is 30 days after the
Order confirming the Plan is a final Order) unless otherwise
agreed. Priority tax claims will receive 100% of their allowed
claims over the period of the Plan term (5 years). Secured
Creditors will be paid 100% of their secured claims under Class 1
of the Plan.
Class 2 general unsecured creditors will receive a pro rata share
of the Unsecured Creditor Payment over a period of 5 years, which
shall equal approximately 9.55% distribution on their claims. Class
3 Claims of Equity Holders will not receive a distribution unless
all other classes of creditors receive payment in full.
Class 2 consists of Allowed Unsecured Claims. Holders of allowed
unsecured claims shall receive a pro rata share of the Unsecured
Creditor Payments on an annual basis for a period of 5 years
beginning on the 1st anniversary of the Effective Date of the Plan,
and continuing yearly for another 4 years. The Unsecured Creditor
Payments shall equal $200,000 in the aggregate and each yearly
payment shall be $40,000 for five payments.
Based upon the unsecured claims (which includes deficiency claims
of secured creditors), the estimated distribution to unsecured
creditors is 9.55% No distribution will be made for unsecured
claims which were (i) scheduled as disputed; and (ii) no timely
proof of claim was filed.
Class 3 consists of Equity Security Holders. Equity security
holders shall retain their interests in the Debtor. In addition,
the principal of the Debtor will be entitled to a salary for his
work on behalf of the Debtor.
This Plan of Reorganization proposes to pay creditors of the Debtor
from future revenues generated by the Debtor's business.

VICTORY BUYER: S&P Rates New $590MM First-Lien Term Loan B 'B-'
---------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'B-' issue-level rating and '3'
recovery rating to Victory Buyer LLC's proposed $590 million
first-lien term loan B due 2033. As part of the transaction, the
company is also proposing to issue a new $175 million second lien
term loan (not rated) due 2033 and intends to increase the size and
extend the maturity of its revolving credit facility to $110
million (not rated) due 2031 from $85 million due 2028 previously.
The recovery rating of 3' reflects its expectation for meaningful
(50%-70%; rounded estimate: 50%) recovery in the event of a
default.
The company will use the proceeds from the proposed term loans to
fully repay amounts outstanding on its existing revolving credit
facility, $525 million first-lien term loan B maturing in 2028 and
$210 million second lien term loan (not rated) maturing in 2029.
S&P expects this to be a leverage neutral transaction that improves
the company's liquidity and maturity profile.
Issue Ratings--Recovery Analysis
Key analytical factors
-- The capital structure includes the proposed $590 million
first-lien term loan, the proposed $175 million second-lien term
loan, and a $110 million revolving credit facility (not rated).
-- S&P's simulated default scenario assumes a default in 2028
following an unexpected economic downturn and sustained cutbacks in
modernization and new construction that decrease sales volumes,
pressure pricing and margin, and strain cash flow. These conditions
leave Victory Buyer unable to meet its debt service burden and
interest costs.
-- The gross enterprise value of approximately $359 million is
based on an emergence EBITDA of $72 million. S&P said, "We believe
lenders will aim to maximize Victory Buyer's value and pursue
reorganization rather than liquidation in a default scenario.
Therefore, we value the company on a going-concern basis and apply
a 5x multiple to our projected emergence EBITDA. The 5x multiple
reflects its small scale in a niche market."
Simulated default assumptions
-- Simulated year of default: 2028
-- Emergence EBITDA: $72 million
-- EBITDA multiple: 5x
-- Jurisdiction: U.S.

-- Gross enterprise value: $359 million

WYNN RESORTS: Fitch Affirms 'BB-' IDR, Outlook Stable
-----------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed Wynn Resorts, Limited's (WRL) and
subsidiaries' (collectively Wynn) Issuer Default Ratings (IDRs) at
'BB-'. The Rating Outlook is Stable. The subsidiaries are Wynn
Resorts Finance, LLC (WRF), Wynn Las Vegas, LLC (WLV), Wynn Macau,
Limited (WML), and WM Cayman Holdings Limited II (WMC). Fitch also
affirmed Wynn's senior secured and unsecured debt at 'BB+' with a
Recovery Rating of 'RR1' and 'BB-'/'RR4', respectively.
Wynn Resorts Limited's ratings reflect its high-quality gaming
portfolio, strong positions in Macau and Las Vegas that target
high-valued customers and robust liquidity to fund near-term
capital projects. These strengths are balanced against modest
diversification and sizable capital needs for current and potential
projects, which could slow credit improvement.
The Stable Outlook reflects Fitch's view that the Macau market will
keep growing, despite potential headwinds in the Chinese economy,
Wynn's strong market position in the Las Vegas market and strong
FCF generation.
Key Rating Drivers
Leverage Modestly High: Fitch projects EBITDAR leverage for 2025 at
5.7x, slightly higher than 5.4x in 2024. This is due to weaker
results in Macau and Las Vegas, with debt relatively unchanged. The
forecast is still within Fitch's prior expectations and the company
is expected to be FCF positive over the forecast horizon.
Management does not have an explicit leverage financial policy, but
the balance sheet has been prudently managed over the years,
despite taking on developments that temporarily increase leverage.
Wynn views its stock repurchase program as opportunistic and
reflects management's view of the intrinsic value of stock versus
the market price.
Strong Liquidity: Wynn holds $1.49 billion in cash and a further
$475 million of short-term investments. Availability on the Wynn
Resorts (WRF) revolver is $1.23 billion and $1.36 billion on the
Wynn Macau revolver (WMC). Fitch anticipates the company to remain
FCF positive through 2026 as it completes several major capital
expansion projects. In 2027, Fitch expects FCF to grow as no major
capital expansion projects are anticipated. Fitch does not expect
material debt reduction, but EBITDA growth from those projects,
including cash flow from Al Marjan through dividends and management
fees, is expected to lead to improved debt metrics.
Macau Should Provide Upside: Fitch expects Wynn's two Macau
properties to come in below 2024, due to a slower than expected
rebound in Macau and more intense competitive pressures. Gross
gaming revenues have shown strong improvement in the second half of
2025, which is expected to continue into 2026 given easier
comparisons. Fitch forecasts modest growth through 2026-2028 for
Wynn's Macau properties due to the continued uncertainty of the
Chinese economy and continued promotional pressure.
Competitive Market Position: Wynn casino and hotel properties are
considered best in class and focus on high-end value customers.
Although the company is not immune to economic downturns, it has a
history of outperforming downturns given its customer base. Fitch
expects EBITDAR at its Las Vegas properties to decline
approximately 5% in 2025, although outperforming other Las Vegas
focused companies that include hotels catering to a lower economic
value customer. Profitability at Wynn's casino portfolio is
expected to be less volatile during cyclical economic periods.
Al Marjan Upside: Wynn has a 40% equity interest in Island 3 AMI
FZ-LLC, which is building an integrated resort called Wynn Al
Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE, expected to open in 2027. The
project's estimated cost is $5.1 billion, with Wynn's contribution,
excluding the Janu project, of about $1.1 billion. Fitch expects
the company to receive cash distributions, management and license
fees of about $260 million a year at steady state in its base case,
consistent with Wynn's guidance. The project is seen as an
attractive opportunity given limited local competition, strong
demographics and high-value customer appeal. Risks include
higher-than-expected costs, delayed opening and
slower-than-expected visitation growth.
Strong Parent and Subsidiary Linkage: Fitch views Wynn on a
consolidated basis because the linkage between the parent and the
operating subsidiaries is strong. As a result, Fitch applied the
strong parent/weak subsidiary approach under its Parent and
Subsidiary Linkage Rating Criteria. The linkage reflects the
perceived high strategic and operational incentive, as the
subsidiaries share brands and customers across the system. Of note,
there are no material ring-fencing mechanisms to block cash
movement from the subsidiaries. WRF's bonds are cross-defaulted
with WLV's bonds.
Peer Analysis
Wynn has high-quality assets and operates in attractive regulatory
regimes, while typically maintaining strong liquidity. The
company's competitive position is strong given its high-quality
assets and service. Leverage is high for a 'BB-' issuer, but this
is offset by Wynn's strong liquidity, market position, and lower
volatility of earnings.
MGM Resorts International (BB-/Stable) has greater diversification
and has a larger scale. MGM also has lower EBITDA leverage,
although this is offset by a lower EBITDAR fixed-charge coverage
ratio, as MGM has sale-leaseback agreements on most of its
properties. Wynn and MGM operate in the top tier of their
respective markets, but MGM also has properties that are marketed
to lower- to mid-tier customers, which results in lower margins and
are susceptible to more downside risk in economically challenging
periods.
Las Vegas Sands (BBB-/Stable) has a larger presence in Macau with
five gaming properties and operates one of the highest grossing
casinos in the world in Singapore. Both companies focus on premium
gaming customers in large gaming markets, although LVS has a lower
forecasted 2025 EBITDAR leverage at 3.3x compared with Wynn at
5.7x.
Fitch’s Key Rating-Case Assumptions
- Macau EBITDA in 2026 is expected to be mid to high-digit
increases. Recent revenue growth suggests higher revenue growth,
but promotional activity may be a headwind.
- Las Vegas operations in 2026 are expected to remain relatively
flat. The company has strong group and convention business and the
entertainment environment in the city continues to grow, but
concerns about lower economic growth could limit upside.
- Encore Boston Harbor is expected to remain stable throughout the
forecast period.
- Wynn Al Marjan Island is expected to open in 2027, Fitch has not
applied any credit to EBITDA to account for it given the
uncertainty of the exact timing of the opening and the expected
minimal cash impact from management fees. Fitch views the project
to be credit-accretive post 2027 given the unique aspects of the
property's location and brand. Assuming the property operates at
the base case of $260 million in FCF, leverage in 2027, on a steady
rate, would reduce to 5.2x.
- Capex and investment activity include the Macau concession
agreements, the UAE resort development, and expected room
renovations in Las Vegas.
- Base interest rate assumptions reflect the current SOFR curve.
Corporate Rating Tool Inputs and Scores
Fitch scored the issuer as follows, using its Corporate Rating Tool
(CRT) to produce the Standalone Credit Profile (SCP):
- Business and financial profile factors (assessment, relative
importance): Management (bbb-, Lower), Sector Characteristics
(bbb-, Moderate), Market and Competitive Positioning (bbb,
Moderate), Diversification and Asset Quality (b+, Moderate),
Company Operational Characteristics (bbb-, Moderate), Profitability
(bbb-, Moderate), Financial Structure (b, Higher), and Financial
Flexibility (bb+, Higher).
- The quantitative financial subfactors are based on standard CRT
financial period parameters: 20% weight for the latest historical
year 2024, 40% for the forecast year 2025 and 40% for the forecast
year 2026.
- The Governance assessment of 'Good' results in no adjustment.
- The Operating Environment assessment of 'a' results in no
adjustment.
- The SCP is 'bb-'.
- No further adjustments made to SCP resulting in an IDR of 'BB-'.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Negative
Rating Action/Downgrade:
- EBITDAR leverage exceeding 6.0x on a sustained basis;
- EBITDAR fixed charge coverage sustaining below 2.5x;
- An increase in financial commitments due to new development
projects or increased capital allocations to shareholders that
anticipates the company will breach the EBITDAR leverage or EBITDAR
fixed-charge coverage targets described above.
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Positive
Rating Action/Upgrade:
- EBITDAR leverage declining below 5.0x;
- EBITDAR fixed-charge coverage above 3.0x;
- Maintain strong liquidity in order to ensure capital spending and
working capital needs are sufficiently financed.
Liquidity and Debt Structure
Liquidity includes $1.5 billion in cash, $475 million in short-term
investments, $1.235 billion of availability on the WRF revolver and
$1.36 billion available on its WML revolver as of Sept. 30, 2025.
The company has strong access to capital, as exhibited by its
ability to refinance 2026 bond maturities for Wynn Macau in 2025,
and extend maturities and increase commitments for its bank
facilities.
Fitch expects FCF could materially grow in 2027 after obligations
for Al Marjan and other current capex projects are completed. The
company has not explicitly stated that proceeds would be used to
repay debt, the returns on these investments should lead to
improved credit metrics. At this time, there are no other long-term
capital projects in 2027 and beyond other than maintenance capex.
Issuer Profile
Wynn Resorts, Limited owns and operates Encore Boston Harbor, Wynn
Las Vegas (including Wynn Encore) and through its 72% owned
subsidiary, Wynn Macau Limited, Wynn Macau and Wynn Palace in
Macau, SAR.
MACROECONOMIC ASSUMPTIONS AND SECTOR FORECASTS
Fitch's latest quarterly Global Corporates Sector Forecasts Monitor
data file which aggregates key data points used in its credit
analysis. Fitch's macroeconomic forecasts, commodity price
assumptions, default rate forecasts, sector key performance
indicators and sector-level forecasts are among the data items
included.
Climate Vulnerability Signals
The 2035 EBITDA rated climate.VS for Wynn is 54, suggesting
elevated exposure to climate related risks. This is because of high
concentration of EBITDA coming out of Macau, which has high risk of
flooding, and Las Vegas, which has high water stress.
ESG Considerations
The highest level of ESG credit relevance is a score of '3', unless
otherwise disclosed in this section. A score of '3' means ESG
issues are credit-neutral or have only a minimal credit impact on
the entity, either due to their nature or the way in which they are
being managed by the entity. Fitch's ESG Relevance Scores are not
inputs in the rating process; they are an observation on the
relevance and materiality of ESG factors in the rating decision.

[] Bankruptcy Improvement Act Awaits Presidential Approval
----------------------------------------------------------
Vince Sullivan of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that the
Bankruptcy Administration Improvement Act of 2025 has reached the
desk of President Donald Trump after Congress passed the bill with
bipartisan support last January 2026. The legislation is designed
to update elements of the federal bankruptcy system that lawmakers
and stakeholders say have stagnated over time.
Among its key components are proposed adjustments to trustee
compensation in Chapter 7 cases and changes affecting the
administration of bankruptcy judgeships and related court
functions. If signed, the act would alter how certain fees are
allocated and how trustees are compensated, reflecting current
economic conditions and caseload demands, the report states.
Backers of the measure argue that these reforms will help ensure
the bankruptcy system remains self-supporting and capable of
meeting the needs of debtors and creditors alike. As the bill
awaits presidential approval, proponents continue to emphasize the
importance of modernizing bankruptcy administration, according to
report.
