1300 DESERT: Fails to Get Court OK on Amended Disclosure Statement
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Philip Bentley of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York denied without prejudice 1300 Desert
Willow Road, LLC's Application in Support of Order (1) Approving
Debtor's Amended Disclosure Statement Pursuant to Section 1125 of
the Bankruptcy Code;, (2) Fixing Procedures and Time for Filing
Acceptances and Rejections of the Plan, if Any; (3) Fixing Time for
Confirmation Hearing and (4) Granting Related Relief.
The motion is denied without prejudice to the Debtor's right, if
warranted by new developments, to renew its request for approval of
a disclosure statement and the setting of a confirmation schedule
for its current plan or a modified plan.
As shared by the Troubled Company Reporter, on February 24, 2025,
the Bankruptcy Court concluded that it is appropriate to permit
Romspen Investment LP to proceed to a hearing on confirmation of
its plan, while holding the Debtor's plan in abeyance.
Romspen is the Debtor's sole secured creditor, and it may be the
Debtor's only substantial creditor of any sort, secured or
unsecured. As of the petition date, the Debtor owed Romspen
approximately $26 million, consisting of about $20 million of
principal and $6 million in interest, late fees and legal
expenses.
According to the Court, in contrast to Romspen's plan, the Debtor's
plan is problematic in multiple respects. One of the bedrock
requirements for confirmation of a chapter 11 plan is that, if any
creditor class is impaired, the plan must be accepted by at least
one impaired creditor class, without counting the votes of
insiders. Because the Debtor's plan impairs Class 2 -- the secured
creditor class, which consists of Romspen alone -- and Romspen has
said it will vote to reject the Debtor's plan, the plan cannot be
confirmed without the acceptance of another impaired creditor
class. Based on the record currently before the Court, it appears
unlikely that the Debtor's plan will obtain such acceptance.
The Debtor hopes to obtain the acceptance of Class 3, the plan's
general unsecured creditor class, which consists of Equity Funding
and the two law firms that claim to be owed legal fees. However, if
Equity Funding's claim is disallowed, Class 3 will not be impaired.
Without Equity Funding, that class would consist only of the two
law firm claimants, whose claims would be paid in full and in cash
by the effective date.
Although Romspen's objection to Equity Funding's claim is not yet
before the Court, the evidence now in the record suggests that
Equity Funding's claim is likely to be disallowed in its entirety.
The upshot is that, if Equity Funding's claim is disallowed --
which appears likely -- the Debtor's plan will be unconfirmable on
its face.
A copy of the Court's Order dated February 27, 2026, is available

1440 FOODS: S&P Downgrades ICR to 'CCC+', Outlook Negative
----------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings lowered its issuer credit rating on U.S.-based
1440 Foods Topco LLC to 'CCC+' from 'B-'. S&P also lowered its
issue-level rating on its $732 million first-lien term loan due in
2031 to 'CCC+' from 'B-', and its $150 million second-lien term
loan due in 2031 to 'CCC-' from 'CCC'. The respective recovery
ratings of '3' and '6' are unchanged.
S&P said, "The negative outlook reflects the possibility that we
could lower the ratings if we envision default scenarios over the
next 12 months resulting from the company's inability to turn
around operating performance and liquidity constraints.
"1440 Foods Topco demonstrated weaker-than-expected operating
performance in fiscal 2025 and the first quarter of fiscal 2026. We
expect higher costs and competitive challenges for FitCrunch will
persist over the next few quarters, leading us to revise downward
our base-case forecast for fiscal 2026.
"We forecast S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage will remain weak
at above 10x, free operating cash flow (FOCF) will remain negative,
and liquidity will be constrained through fiscal 2026. As such, we
believe 1440 Foods' capital structure has become unsustainable,
absent a meaningful improvement in operating performance.
"The downgrade reflects 1440 Foods' continued operating
underperformance and our expectation for weak credit metrics in
fiscal 2026. 1440 Foods' operating performance in the first quarter
of fiscal 2026 (ending September) was materially weaker than our
prior expectations due to increased competition, distribution
losses, and higher input costs. Its quarterly S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted EBITDA margin declined by more than 700 basis
points (bps) year over year versus the prior-year period. This
follows significant underperformance in fiscal 2025 with S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted EBITDA margins declining by about 250 bps.
"We believe there is significant uncertainty around management's
ability to stabilize FitCrunch's performance and that it will take
time for any benefits to materialize." This, combined with higher
costs associated with its verticalization initiative, elevated whey
protein costs, and an elongated timeline associated with the
realization of savings from the insourcing of manufacturing
operations, will keep profitability depressed through fiscal 2026.
Moreover, it will need to navigate these operating headwinds amid
significant management changes following the recent replacement of
prior CFO, Jordan Arma with Rafael Teixeira, who joins the company
from sponsor 4X4 Capital. This follows a CEO change in late 2025
and several other executive-level changes over the past few
months.
S&P said, "We now forecast a 6% sales decline and S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted EBITDA margin improvement of about 100 bps in
fiscal 2026. This compares with our previous expectation for 7%
growth in sales and S&P Global Ratings-adjusted EBITDA margin
improvement of about 350 bps in fiscal 2026. We estimate credit
metrics will remain elevated, with S&P Global Ratings-adjusted
leverage at about 12.5x (previously 7.6x) and cash EBITDA interest
coverage of about 0.9x (previously 1.6x) as lower profitability and
heightened working capital requirements pressure cash flow.
"We view 1440 Foods' capital structure as unsustainable given its
insufficient coverage of its relatively high debt service
requirements and its tight liquidity position. 1440 Foods burned
through $20 million of liquidity during the first fiscal quarter
amid operating headwinds. As of the first fiscal quarter, 1440
Foods' liquidity was significantly tighter than at the end of
fiscal 2025 and compared to about $200 million as of close of the
FitCrunch acquisition in November 2024. The company has relatively
high debt service requirements. As a result, we believe that the
company's sources of liquidity would only cover its projected uses
by about 1.1x.
"We revised our assessment of its liquidity to less than adequate
because we believe the company may face liquidity constraints over
the next few quarters as a result of its limited revolver
availability and expected weak cash flow generation. This tight
liquidity position could restrict 1440 Foods' operating flexibility
if operating or macroeconomic headwinds mount. These could include
weaker demand, particularly for FitCrunch; operating disruptions;
or an uptick in input costs. We note the ABL is subject to a
springing fixed-charge coverage covenant that could further
restrict availability during a period of stress.
"We forecast 1440 Foods will experience another year of steep cash
flow deficits in fiscal 2026 as it continues to incur costs related
to its verticalization initiative and funds higher-than-historical
levels of working capital requirements. We forecast a reported FOCF
deficit of about $31 million ($5 million surplus previously) in
fiscal 2026, after the company reported a deficit of $118 million
in fiscal 2025 and $28 million in fiscal 2024.
"1440 Foods will continue to incur costs related to its vertical
integration project as well as other one-time expenses related to
plant enhancements over the next few quarters. We also estimate the
company will need to build its inventory balances during fiscal
2026 compared to fiscal 2025, as it transitions to an in-house
production model for its largest brand, Pure Protein.
"Moreover, we continue to believe the project entails significant
execution risks and constrains operating flexibility due to higher
fixed overhead costs. We also believe insourcing production exposes
1440 Foods to greater downside if demand is soft--similar to what
it is facing with FitCrunch, which has an in-house production
model."
1440 Foods faces significant competitive risks and FitCrunch's
ability to return to growth remains uncertain. The company recently
faced increased competition from new entrants in the category such
as Built, Barebells, and David. Each of these competitors have
exhibited rapid growth and won significant market share from
FitCrunch. FitCrunch has also suffered from its lack of packaging
and product innovation, resulting in lost shelf space at its
largest customer Costco.
Revenue declines for the brand accelerated to 42.2% in the first
quarter of fiscal 2026 after declining 12.4% in fiscal 2025. In
addition to continuing significant volume losses at FitCrunch, the
company also suffered distribution losses in its largest brand,
Pure Protein. While S&P recognizes 1440 Topco will continue to
focus on packaging, innovation, marketing, and expanding its
distribution, S&P views rising competitive pressures as a
meaningful ongoing risk.
Management remains committed to stabilizing FitCrunch's performance
and plans to rebuild its program at Costco by introducing new
flavors, revamp product packaging, reinvigorate its marketing and
advertising programs, and introduce innovative products. Moreover,
the company is working closely with retailers to repurpose Pure
Protein's shelf space more efficiently by reallocating it to its
better-performing products, which will mitigate impact to its
consolidated revenues. S&P will monitor the success of these plans.
However, the company's stretched credit metrics provide it with a
limited runway to execute its new strategy.
The negative outlook reflects the possibility that S&P could lower
the ratings if default scenarios becomes more likely within the
next 12 months.
S&P could lower the ratings on 1440 Foods if a near-term default
scenario such as a liquidity shortfall, distressed exchange, or
violation of financial covenants becomes imminent. This could occur
if:
-- The company's profitability and cash flow do not improve due to
lower demand or persistent high inflation; or
-- Liquidity worsens such that the company needs to seek external
support to fund its operations.
S&P could take a positive action if 1440 Foods' operations improve,
it generates positive FOCF generation, and EBITDA cash interest
coverage improves to about 1.5x. This could occur if:
-- The company successfully implements its operating plan and
steadily increases EBITDA as a result of stable volumes, lower
costs, savings from productivity initiatives, and other operational
improvements; and
-- Liquidity continues to improve without the company relying on
external sources of funding for its ongoing operations.

8TH STREET NE: Contributions & Sale Proceeds to Fund Plan
---------------------------------------------------------
8th Street NE Partners, LLC filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Columbia a Disclosure Statement in support of
Chapter 11 Plan of Orderly Liquidation dated February 24, 2026.
The Debtor is a limited liability company organized and existing
under the laws of the District of Columbia.
The Debtor owns and operates a parcel of "single asset real estate"
within the meaning of section 101(51B) of the Bankruptcy Code,
consisting of a thirteen-unit multi-family building located at
4017, 4021 & 4025 8th Street, NE, Washington, D.C. 20017 (the
"Property"). As of the Petition Date, six of the thirteen units
were occupied, and the Debtor received monthly rental income of
approximately $2,478.00.
After the Petition Date, the Debtor took steps to further sale
efforts regarding the Property and to bring the District Line
Litigation to a conclusion. The Tenant Association failed to close
on the Tenant Purchase Agreement by the deadline of August 23,
2025. The Debtor provided District Line with an opportunity to
close on the District Line Agreement by notifying District Line, on
September 16, 2025, of the Debtor's intent to market the property
to new purchasers unless District Line indicated it wished to
consummate its purchase agreement. District Line did not respond,
and the Debtor began efforts in earnest to sell the Property.
The Debtor's efforts to sell the Property during the case did not
meet with success, and its efforts to dispossess non-paying tenants
also continued to struggle in the D.C. Courts. Two depressed offers
to purchase the Property were received, but both were for far less
than the $2.6 million amount previously obtained in the District
Line Agreement. After extensive consultations with Greysteel and
others, the Debtor determined that marketing the Property in its
current form as a multi-family apartment building will likely
continue to be unsuccessful.
As a result, while the Debtor continued efforts to obtain a
purchaser, the Debtor also sought counsel in order to apply to
District of Columbia Department of Buildings and/or Historic
Preservation Office for a permit allowing the Debtor to complete
the demolition of all improvements on the Property (a "Raze
Permit"), with the intention to sell the Property for redevelopment
including construction of new structures by the purchaser. The
Debtor believes this course is likely to significantly improve the
marketability of the Property.
The Debtor will implement these efforts through the Chapter 11
Plan. Under the Plan, the Debtor shall apply for a Raze Permit and
remarket the Property for sale, providing tenants with a required
180-day notice to vacate and, as an administrative expense of the
estate, paying tenants who relocate within the time required under
District of Columbia law a statutorily defined amount of relocation
assistance.
Class 2 consists of Holders of General Unsecured Claims. The Debtor
believes District Line holds a disputed General Unsecured Claim.
Except to the extent that a Holder of an Allowed Class 2 Claim
agrees to a different and lesser treatment, each Holder of an
Allowed Class 2 Claim shall receive from the Debtors, in full and
complete satisfaction of the Debtors' obligations under the Plan,
an amount equal to such Allowed General Unsecured Claim from Cash,
after payment of Allowed Unclassified Claims on the later of the
Effective Date or the date such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.
Other than as specifically provided for in the Plan, or the
Confirmation Order, post-petition interest shall not accrue or be
paid on Claims and no Holder of a Claim shall be entitled to
interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on any Claim or
right. Additionally, and without limiting the foregoing, interest
shall not accrue or be paid on any Claim or Disputed Claim for the
period from and after the Effective Date. Holders of Class 2 Claims
are unimpaired and are not entitled to vote to accept or reject
this Plan.
Class 3 consists of the Holders of Interests in the Debtor, which
are the two Members, each of whom hold 50% interest in the Debtor.
The Members shall retain their interest in the Reorganized Debtor.
The Debtor will fund payments under the Plan from cash on hand on
the Effective Date, rental payments by tenants, contributions to
the capital of the Debtor by its Members, and sale of the Property.
Under the Plan, the Debtor shall continue to seek to effectuate the
sale of the Property pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy
Code, free and clear of liens, encumbrances and interests. In
addition to marketing the Property for sale as-is, the Debtor will
seek a Raze Permit permitting it to demolish all improvements on
the Property prior to sale.

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

ADVANTAGE SOLUTIONS: S&P Affirms 'B-' ICR, Outlook Stable
---------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings affirmed its 'B-' issuer credit rating on
U.S.-based Advantage Solutions Inc. and removed all of its ratings
from CreditWatch, where S&P placed them with negative implications
on Feb. 13, 2026. S&P will withdraw its 'B-' ratings on the
existing senior secured facilities at transaction close.
S&P said, "We assigned our 'B-' issue-level rating to Advantage's
proposed senior secured facilities. The recovery rating is '3',
indicating our expectation for meaningful (50%-70%; rounded
estimate: 60%) recovery for lenders in the event of a payment
default.
"The stable outlook reflects our expectation that although
Advantage's branded services segment will continue to face
headwinds from client losses and weaker macroeconomic trends,
growth in its experiential segment and stabilization in its
retailer segment, together with the wind down of its transformation
initiatives, should allow its S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage
to improve to the low-6x area and EBITDA interest coverage to above
1.5x over the next 12 months."
Advantage Solutions Inc. announced it has received greater than 99%
participation from its term loan lenders and noteholders to
exchange its debt for newly issued super-priority term loan B and
senior secured notes. The proposed new debt instruments will
include higher interest rates, modestly higher annual amortization,
and tighter covenant protections.
The transaction will modestly reduce leverage and extend the
maturities of the term loan and notes to 2030.
The rating action reflects S&P's view that the debt exchange does
not constitute a selective default, because the company received
participation from more than 99% of existing lenders and adequate
compensation was provided. The exchange extends Advantage's term
loan B and senior secured notes maturities, originally due October
2027 and November 2028, to April and November 2030, respectively,
providing it with financial flexibility for ongoing reorganization
efforts and to navigate near-term macroeconomic headwinds.
S&P said, "In our view, existing lenders are receiving adequate
compensation--in the form of higher interest rates and an exchange
at par--in exchange for the maturity extension. Lenders will also
receive support fees, tighter terms such as excess cash flow sweep
payments, and covenants including debt, lien, investment,
restricted payment, and restricted debt payment capacity. Pro forma
for the transaction, we estimate gross debt will decrease by
approximately $90 million net of payment-in-kind fees paid to
lenders who consented prior to the early consent date.
"We expect reported free operating cash flow (FOCF) to remain
constrained in 2026, improving to roughly $50 million in 2027. The
company generated approximately $7 million of FOCF in 2025, weighed
down by about $65 million of cash restructuring costs related to
its transformation efforts--primarily technology-related
investments, the centralization of shared services, and significant
noncore divestitures--and working capital outflows, largely
reflecting a $37 million payroll timing shift.
"Although we forecast transformation expenses will decline to about
$35 million in 2026, we expect FOCF will be limited at $10
million-$15 million due to higher cash interest expenses stemming
from elevated rates on the exchanged debt (about $20 million higher
than in 2025) and one-time transaction costs related to the debt
exchange. Additionally, we expect capital expenditure (capex) will
remain elevated in 2026 at about $55 million, reflecting the final
year of the company's IT-related transformation program, before
tapering down to $45 million in 2027.
"That said, we expect the company will maintain an adequate
liquidity position, supported by an undrawn asset-backed loan (ABL)
facility, about $95 million of unrestricted cash pro forma for the
debt exchange, and about $28 million of net proceeds from the sale
of its equity interest in Advantage Smollan, along with about $27.5
million from the Jun Group sale which the company received in
January 2026.
"We forecast Advantage's credit metrics will modestly improve,
though the company remains vulnerable to client losses and scope
reductions, elevated competition, and weak spending trends in the
broader consumer market. Advantage reported revenue and EBITDA
declines of about 1.5% and 7% in 2025, respectively, compared with
2024. Its higher-margin branded and, to a lesser extent, retail
services segments were hindered in 2025 by client budget
constraints in a weak consumer spending environment, the
in-sourcing of certain services, procurement-driven repricing, and
heightened competition. This was partially offset by strong growth
in its experiential segment, bolstered by increased event counts
and growing demand from existing customers.
"We forecast reported revenue will decline 1%-2% in 2026,
reflecting the loss of revenue from recent divestitures and
continued headwinds in its branded services segment. We expect this
will be partially offset by stabilization in its retailer services
segment, which experienced some projects being delayed to 2026, and
continued growth of its experiential segment. We expect its S&P
Global Ratings-adjusted EBITDA will remain relatively flat at about
$260 million compared with 2025 despite lower restructuring costs
and growth in its experiential segment, which we expect will be
offset by lower sales from its branded services segment and the
impact of recent divestitures.
"Advantage remains exposed to cyclical and structural pressures,
but we expect the company to maintain its leading market position
within the sales and marketing services industry. In a deep
recessionary scenario or a prolonged period of elevated inflation,
we believe consumer products companies and retailers could reduce
discretionary spending and increase pricing pressure on outsourced
service providers such as Advantage. We observed similar behavior
across the industry in the period preceding the COVID-19 pandemic,
when weaker center-of-store demand led to budget reductions.
"More recently, we have seen signs of comparable trends, including
reductions in service scope, in-sourcing of certain functions, and
contract renegotiations primarily driven by cost
considerations--trends that we believe have been exacerbated by
elevated senior management turnover at consumer product companies,
especially as new executives reassess spending plans amid
moderating growth prospects.
"We also believe the industry faces potential longer-term exposure
to the growth of agentic commerce. Although still nascent, the
increasing use of AI agents to autonomously search for, select, and
purchase products on behalf of consumers could reduce the relevance
of services such as traditional in-store merchandising, planogram
optimization, and physical shelf positioning over time. Retailers
may therefore place less emphasis on outsourced merchandising
services, while consumer packaged goods companies could
increasingly use AI-enabled tools to manage their own e-commerce
marketing strategies, reducing reliance on third-party providers
such as Advantage. While we do not expect a material near-term
impact, we believe this could result in structural pressure over
time.
"The stable outlook reflects our expectation that Advantage's
branded services segment will continue to face headwinds from
client losses and weaker macroeconomic trends. However, growth in
its experiential segment and stabilization in its retailer segment,
together with the wind down of its transformation initiatives,
should support improvement in S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage
to the low-6x area and EBITDA interest coverage above 1.5x over the
next 12 months.
"We could lower the ratings if, in our view, Advantage's capital
structure becomes unsustainable, interest coverage falls below
1.5x, and we expect it to sustain FOCF at or below break-even
levels." This could occur due to:
-- Persistent labor cost inflation that it cannot successfully
pass along or otherwise offset;
-- An inability to attract and retain staff at sufficient levels
to adequately serve its customers;
-- A decline in the usage of outsourced sales and marketing
agencies by consumer product firms, possibly to save money in the
face of significantly higher input costs or reduced consumer
spending;
-- The loss of multiple customers due to intensifying competition,
possibly amid a considerable weakening of center-of-store demand;
and
-- Significant operational disruptions related to Advantage's
technology transformation efforts.
While unlikely over the next 12 months, S&P could raise its ratings
if Advantage can successfully stabilize its business while
sustaining interest coverage above 2x and generating positive
reported FOCF. This could occur if the company:
-- Meets existing customer demand for its services and wins new
business;
-- Successfully recovers its higher costs through price increases
without damaging existing customer relationships;
-- Completes its technology modernization efforts without facing
major issues while reducing the level of restructuring costs; or
-- Uses excess cash to repay outstanding debt.
ADVOCATES FOR OPPORTUNITY: Includes AHCA Unsecured Claim Pay
------------------------------------------------------------
Advocates For Opportunity, Inc., submitted an Amended Disclosure
Statement describing Amended Plan of Reorganization dated February
25, 2026.
The Debtor provides no services for the diagnosis or treatment but,
is a case management service provider, only and coordinates health
care services for the client.
The office of the Debtor is located at 3521 W. Broward Blvd., Fort
Lauderdale, FL 33312. This property is leased. The Florida Agency
for Health Care Administration ("AHCA") conducted an audit covering
2021 and as a result, determined in a Final Audit Report, dated
November 19, 2024, that the Debtor received overpayments for
Medicaid reimbursements, together with fines and costs of audit
totaling $201,23.64 (POC-2).
AHCA filed its general unsecured claim on June 30, 2025. The
Debtor, believing that the claim was lacking in prima facie
validity, and therefore objectionable, filed an Objection to AHCA's
claim, requesting that the claim be stricken in its entirety as the
Audit lacked specificity, was based on statistical exploitation,
and improperly include fines and costs. However, the parties have
since reached an agreement resolving the Objection. Now, ACHA's
general unsecured claim is in the amount of $75,000.00
The original Plan did not include any payments to AHCA and
contained one class of creditors: the unsecured class, consisting
of two credit card claims, both held by Bank of America. However,
the Amended Plan of Reorganization consists of two classes, Class 1
and Class 2.
Class 1 remains an unsecured class consisting of the two credit
card claims held by Bank of America. One claim is in the amount of
$9,688.00 and the second in the amount of $1,199.77, for a total of
$10,887.77. These claims will be paid in full over 36 months, in 36
equal monthly payments of $302.44, commencing on the Effective Date
of the Plan. This Amended Plan extended the payment plan from 10
months, as proposed in the original Plan, to 36 months. This class
is impaired.
Class 2 consists of the unsecured claim of ACHA. ACHA's $75,000.00
claim will be paid in full through 36 monthly payments of
$2,083.33, which will commence on the Plan's Effective Date. Class
2 is also impaired.
Payments and distributions under the Plan will be funded by income
received in the ordinary course of business from fees paid to the
Debtor by Medicare for services rendered in facilitating and
scheduling health care provider services for the Debtor's clients.
Accordingly, the Debtor is able to perform all of its obligations
under the Plan and the Plan satisfies the requirements or
conditions set forth in Section 1129(a)(11) of the Code.

25, 2026 is available at https://urlcurt.com/u?l=Qrq7D3 from

AFFORDABLE IRRIGATION: Plan Exclusivity Period Extended to March 26
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Jeffery A. Deller of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Western District of Pennsylvania extended Affordable Irrigation,
Inc.'s exclusive period to file a Chapter 11 Small Business Plan of
Reorganization to March 26, 2026.
In a court filing, the Debtor's business is seasonal and is still
currently procuring work for the pending spring and summer. The
Debtor will have a better idea after one additional month to get
into its profitable season and will know if Plan feasibility is
possible.
The Debtor explains that barring completely unforeseen
circumstances or emergency, the company will not request any
additional time to file a Plan and Disclosure Statement after this
extension. To the best of counsel's knowledge, the Debtor has met
and continues to meet all operating requirements of a Chapter 11
Debtor including the filing of monthly operating reports and
payment of US Trustee fees.
The Debtor believes that no parties will be harmed or prejudiced by
the extension of the exclusivity period to file a Chapter 11 Plan.
There are no pending motions for relief, dismissal requests, or any
other litigation happening in the case at this time that would
impact the ability to reorganize.

AMC NETWORKS: Secures 95% Participation in Notes Exchange Offer
---------------------------------------------------------------
AMC Networks Inc. announced the early participation and consent
results in connection with its previously announced:
(i) exchange offer to Eligible Holders to exchange any and all of
its outstanding 10.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 for its
newly-issued 10.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2032, and
(ii) the solicitation of consents from holders of the Old Notes
with respect to the amendment to the indenture governing the Old
Notes, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in a
Confidential Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation
Statement, dated as of February 23, 2026.
The Company has been advised that as of 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on March 6, 2026, approximately $830.6 million aggregate
principal amount of outstanding Old Notes, representing
approximately 95% of the outstanding Old Notes (other than Old
Notes beneficially owned by the Company or its affiliates), had
been validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the
Exchange Offer, and the corresponding Consents from holders of
those Old Notes were delivered (and not validly revoked) pursuant
to the Consent Solicitation.
The Company has also been advised that as of 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on March 6, 2026, holders of approximately $9.9 million
aggregate principal amount of outstanding Old Notes delivered (and
did not validly revoke) their Consents without tendering Old Notes.
Consents from holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal
amount of outstanding Old Notes (other than Old Notes beneficially
owned by the Company or its affiliates) voting as a single class
must be delivered and not validly revoked to adopt the Proposed
Amendment. Accordingly, as of the Early Tender Time, the Requisite
Notes Consents have been delivered.
The Company and the guarantors of the Old Notes expect to enter
into a Supplemental Indenture to the Old Notes Indenture providing
for the Proposed Amendment on March 9, 2026. The Proposed Amendment
will amend the covenant that limits restricted payments in order to
permit buybacks, purchases, redemptions, retirements or other
acquisitions of AMC Networks Inc.'s equity interests in an
aggregate amount not to exceed $50,000,000. The Supplemental
Indenture will be effective immediately upon execution thereof, but
the Proposed Amendment will not be operative until the time when
all of the Old Notes that have been validly tendered (and not
validly withdrawn) prior to the Early Tender Time have been
accepted for exchange in accordance with the terms of the Offering
Memorandum. The Company expects settlement of the Old Notes validly
tendered (and not validly withdrawn) by the Early Tender Time to
occur on March 13, 2026.
Withdrawal rights for the Exchange Offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New
York City time, on March 6, 2026, and, accordingly, Old Notes
validly tendered in the Exchange Offer may no longer be withdrawn.
In addition, the deadline for holders to deliver their Consents
pursuant to the Consent Only Option expired at 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on March 6, 2026. Consents delivered in accordance with
the Consent Only Option may be validly revoked at any time at or
prior to the time and date on which the Supplemental Indenture is
executed and may not be validly revoked at any time after the
Consent Time. Holders of Old Notes who validly delivered their
Consents pursuant to the Consent Only Option will not receive any
consideration for delivering their Consents.
Eligible Holders of the Old Notes who validly tendered (and did not
validly withdraw) their Old Notes prior to the Early Tender Time
will be entitled to receive the total consideration of $1,065 in
aggregate principal amount of New Notes per $1,000 principal amount
of Old Notes tendered, as described in the Offering Memorandum.
Eligible Holders who have not yet tendered or have validly
withdrawn their Old Notes have until 5:00 P.M., New York City time,
on March 23, 2026, unless extended by the Company to tender their
Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer. Eligible Holders of the
Old Notes who validly tender (and do not validly withdraw) their
Old Notes after the Early Tender Time but at or prior to the
Expiration Time will be entitled to receive exchange consideration
of $1,015 in aggregate principal amount of New Notes per $1,000
principal amount of Old Notes tendered, as described in the
Offering Memorandum. Such exchanges will be settled promptly by the
Company after the Expiration Time, which is expected to occur on
March 25, 2026, assuming the conditions to the Exchange Offer have
either been satisfied or waived by the Company at or prior to the
Expiration Time.
In addition, the aggregate Total Consideration or aggregate
Exchange Consideration, as applicable, will be reduced by an amount
equal to the result of (x) the aggregate amount of accrued and
unpaid interest due on the New Notes to be issued to Eligible
Holders from and including the last interest payment date for the
Original 2032 Notes (as defined below) to but not including the
applicable Settlement Date (the "New Notes Accrued Interest") less
(y) the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid interest due on the
Old Notes validly tendered and accepted by us from and including
the last interest payment date for such Old Notes to but not
including the applicable Settlement Date (the "Old Notes Accrued
Interest" and the difference between the New Notes Accrued Interest
and the Old Notes Accrued Interest, the "Net Interest Deduction").
No accrued interest will be paid on Old Notes that are tendered and
accepted.

APOGEE BREWING: Unsecureds to Get Share of Remaining Funds
----------------------------------------------------------
Apogee Brewing, a Texas Limited Liability Company d/b/a True
Anomaly, filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of Texas a Combined Plan of Reorganization and Disclosure
Statement dated February 23, 2026.
The Debtor was address is 2012 Dallas St, Houston, Texas 77003. The
Debtor operates a craft brewery, beer hall and beverage
preparation, brewing, packing and distribution business between two
different locations.
The Debtor owns a 63,670 SF, 1.46-acre, property with two
buildings, one currently used for product production and the other
currently under construction as a future tap room, located at 4001
Navigation Boulevard, Houston, Texas 77003 (the "Property"). The
Debtor also leases space at 2012 Dallas St., Houston, Texas 7703
(the "Leased Space"), where the Debtor's sole tap room is located.
Ultimately, due to insufficient cash flow, high interest expense,
delays in permitting from the City of Houston, the expense of new
tariffs, lack of construction resources, and other factors outside
of the Debtor's control, the Debtor was forced to file for Chapter
11 Bankruptcy on August 4, 2025.
Currently, the Debtor's sole sources of funds are the operation of
the tap room at leased space and sale of its product through
distribution channels. Tap room revenue since August 4, 2025, has
averaged $38,087.26 per month, and distribution revenue has
averaged $15,115.15 per month. The Debtor has been operating in a
cash flow positive manner since the filing of its bankruptcy
petition.
The Debtor's assets consist of the Property, the Business, and any
consumable beer that has not been sold. Debtor intends to assign
the Property and its fixtures to Stellar Bank pursuant to Section
1123(a)(5) and 1129(b)(2)(A)(iii) of the Bankruptcy Code in full
satisfaction of Stellar secured claims. Debtor will also sell
certain Business assets to another interested brewery, pursuant to
Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code.
Portions of the sale proceeds shall be treated as free and clear of
liens pursuant to Section 363(f)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code. Debtor
will continue to sell the consumable beer to its customers and
consumers at its Leased Space, until the lease terminates. Upon
sale of the aforementioned Business assets the funds will be
distributed in accordance with this Plan and the Bankruptcy Code
payment distribution schema set forth in, inter alia, section 1129
of the Code.
Class 7 consists of Allowed General Unsecured Claims and the
under-secured claims of Stellar Bank and all other lien creditors.
The Class 7 claimants shall be paid their pro rata amount of the
funds remaining in the Debtor's bank account after the sale of the
Business (the Remaining Funds). The pro rata amount to be paid to
each claimant is a fraction of the Remaining Funds, the numerator
of which is the allowed claim of each Class 7 claimant and the
denominator of which is the sum of the allowed claims of all Class
7 claimants. This Class is impaired.
Class 8 consists of Allowed General Unsecured Claims of Insiders.
The Claim Holder shall retain their interests in the Debtor, as the
Reorganized Debtor, subject to and remaining after the payment of
all administrative expenses claims and US Trustee Fees, and the
satisfaction of all claims in Classes 1 through 7. This Class is
impaired.
The source of funding in the Plan for the payment of all claims
shall be the revenue generated from the sale of the Business and
any remaining assets to affect the Closing, to pay allowed claims,
and to compensate Debtor's counsel to the extent of its allowed
fees.

dated February 23, 2026 is available at

CHEMOURS COMPANY: Moody's Rates New $600MM Sr. Unsecured Notes 'B1'
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Ratings assigned a B1 rating to The Chemours Company's
(Chemours) proposed $600 million new senior unsecured notes due
2034. Proceeds from the notes, along with balance sheet cash, will
be used to redeem $495 million of senior unsecured notes maturing
in May 2027, as well as to redeem a portion of its outstanding
senior unsecured notes due November 2028. The outlook is negative.
"Trough conditions in the titanium dioxide persist, despite price
increases announced in 2025. Without a meaningful rebound in TiO2
prices in the first half of 2026, credit metrics are likely to
remain under pressure and put further pressure on the rating,"
stated John Rogers, Moody's Ratings' Senior Vice President and lead
analyst on Chemours.
RATINGS RATIONALE
The B1 rating on the new notes, one notch below the Ba3 Corporate
Family Rating (CFR), reflects their position in the capital
structure relative to approximately $1.5 billion of secured term
loans. Management is prudent in addressing debt maturities well in
advance, given stressed credit metrics.
Chemours' Ba3 CFR reflects the company's substantial size, leading
market positions in each of its three business segments, and
proprietary technologies that normally enable the company to
generate strong profit margins. These strengths are offset by the
cyclicality of its titanium dioxide (TiO2) business and substantial
litigation risk stemming from per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances
(PFAS). While the comapny's Thermal & Specialized Solutions segment
(TSS) continues to grow sales and earnings, credit metrics remain
weak due to the trough profitability of its Titanium Technologies
(TT) and Advanced Performance Materials (APM) segments.
Additionally, the company is a defendant in a large number of
actions filed by states, municipalities, environmental regulators,
businesses, and private plaintiffs. PFAS have been used and sold by
the company and its predecessors for more than 70 years.
Settlements to date have been manageable with the support of DuPont
de Nemours, Inc. (DuPont; Baa1 Stable) and EIDP, Inc. (Baa1
Negative; dba Corteva Inc.). Despite some recently settled
liabilities related to PFAS claims, including with the state of New
Jersey, a substantial number of lawsuits remain in the
multi-district litigation (MDL) in South Carolina, and the number
of lawsuits outside of the MDL is increasing, primarily due to
opt-outs from a prior settlement.
Over the past year, Chemours has taken a number of steps to improve
financial performance and cash flow generation. The company lowered
its dividend by 65%, continued to pursue cost reduction efforts and
in January 2026, announced the sale of land in Taiwan, proceeds of
which will be used to reduce debt. Despite continued growth in
sales and profits in its Thermal & Specialized Solutions segment
(TSS) and the actions cited above, year-end 2025 credit metrics
remain very weak for the rating, with Debt/EBITDA of over 5x and
Retained Cash Flow/Debt of less than 5%. Even with management's
projected increase in 2026 financial performance and roughly
$400-500 million in debt reduction, credit metrics are likely to
remain elevated for the rating with Debt/EBITDA of roughly 4.5x.
LIQUIDITY
Chemours' SGL-2 rating indicates good liquidity due to roughly $670
million in cash (as of December 31, 2025) and access to a roughly
$1 billion revolving credit facility, comprised of $780 million due
in May 2030 and $220 million due in October 2026. All of the
commitments have a springing maturity that is 91 days prior to the
next term loan or unsecured note maturity. The next maturity date
after the notes due in 2027 will be August 2028, for the secured
Euro term loan. The revolver has a maximum secured Net Debt/EBITDA
ratio of 2.75x, stepping down to 2.5x in 2Q26, and finally to 2.0x
in 4Q26. The company should be able to maintain compliance with
this covenant over the next 12-18 months. The company also has
access to a $165 million accounts receivable facility due in March
2028.
OUTLOOK
The negative outlook reflects continuing weak credit metrics and
the expectation for limited free cash flow due to the downturn in
two of its three business segments. Without a material improvement
in TiO2 profitability, potential debt reduction will be constrained
and credit metrics will remain weak for the rating. While
management is focused on reducing costs and debt reduction, these
actions by themselves are not likely to return credit metrics to
levels that adequately support the rating over the next 12 months.
FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATING
An upgrade is highly unlikely due to the company's current
financial performance. However, an upgrade would be considered when
there is better clarity on the potential timing and scale of future
PFAS litigation-related settlements and remediation liabilities.
Moody's would consider a downgrade if (i) PFAS litigation and
settlement-related costs increased significantly; (ii) there were
any concerns that DuPont and Corteva Inc. would not continue to
support the company in addressing future PFAS liabilities; and
(iii) Debt/EBITDA was expected to exceed 4.0x and Retained Cash
Flow/Debt was expected to be below 10% for a sustained period.
The Chemours Company, headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware, is a
leading global producer of performance chemicals through three
primary segments: Thermal & Specialized Solutions, Titanium
Technologies, and Advanced Performance Materials. Revenues for the
last twelve months ending December 31, 2025 were roughly $5.8
billion.
The principal methodology used in this rating was Chemicals
published in February 2026.

CITRUS SPRINGS: S&P Assigns 'BB+' Rating on 2026A-B Revenue Bonds
-----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'BB+' long-term rating to the
California School Finance Authority's (CSFA) $20.9 million series
2026A (tax-exempt) and $485,000 series 2026B (taxable) charter
school revenue bonds, to be issued for Citrus Springs Charter
School Inc.
The outlook is stable.
S&P Global Sustainable1 data shows that Orange County, relative to
other locations nationally, faces elevated exposure to seismic
activity and wildfire risks. S&P said, "In our view, based on CSCS'
location, the elevated exposure to seismic risk could pose
challenges to the school's infrastructure and become material to
our view of creditworthiness. However, we believe strong state
building codes partly mitigate this risk. Although the region is
exposed to elevated wildfire risks, we believe that CSCS' urban
location and the network's ability to operate many of its
educational programs remotely mitigates this. Consequently, we
consider physical risk exposure neutral in our credit rating
analysis. The school-age population of Orange County, where the
vast majority of the school's enrollment is located, is projected
to decline by 6.6% over the next five years. We view governance
factors as neutral in our credit rating analysis."
S&P said, "The stable outlook reflects our expectation that CSCS
will at least maintain enrollment and overall market position,
while generating sufficient MADS coverage for the rating and
maintaining stable-to-growing nominal cash reserves.
"We could consider a negative rating action if the school
experiences significant enrollment volatility, struggles to
navigate charter contract negotiations, or generates deficit
operations on a full-accrual basis. We also may take a negative
view of a material increase in debt beyond the current issuance.
"We could consider a positive rating action if the school
demonstrates over time that it is able to execute planned program
expansion and meet enrollment targets while generating sufficient
pro forma lease-adjusted MADS coverage and improving its overall
liquidity position."

COLUMBIAN MUTUAL: May 4 Rehabilitation Plan Approval Hearing Set
----------------------------------------------------------------
SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK - COUNTY OF BROOME
INDEX NO. EFCA2024001871
In the Matter of the Rehabilitation of COLUMBIAN MUTUAL LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANY.
AMENDED NOTICE OF PLAN APPROVAL HEARING REGARDING PLAN OF
REHABILITATION FOR COLUMBIAN MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
This Amended Notice of Plan Approval Hearing amends a previous
Notice that you may have received. The only substantive changes in
this Amended Notice are (1) a change in the hearing date, and (2) a
change in the deadline by which you must file any objections that
you might have, each of which dates are set forth below.
Kaitlin Asrow, the Acting Superintendent of Financial Services of
the State of New York, as the court-appointed rehabilitator (the
"Rehabilitator") of Columbian Mutual Life Insurance Company ("CML")
in the rehabilitation proceeding (the "Rehabilitation Proceeding"),
has filed a Plan of Rehabilitation for Columbian Mutual Life
Insurance Company, dated December 12, 2025 (as may be amended,
modified or supplemented from time to time, the "Plan").
Pursuant to the Court's amended Plan Scheduling Order entered on
February 10, 2026, the hearing at which the Court will consider
approval of the Plan will commence on May 4, 2026, at 10:30 a.m.
(the "Plan Approval Hearing") before the Court located at 92 Court
Street, Binghamton, New York 13901.
The Rehabilitator seeks approval of the Plan to remove the causes
and conditions that made the Rehabilitation Proceeding necessary.
This will be accomplished by a series of transactions under the
Plan for the acquisition of CML by JAB Insurance US Holdings, Inc.
(the "Purchaser"), in exchange for the Purchaser making a financial
contribution of not less than $100 million to CML and its
subsidiary Columbian Life Insurance Company ("CLIC"), which is
currently in rehabilitation proceedings in Illinois. The
Contribution will be allocated between CML and CLIC, part of which
will be in return for the issuance of CML's new capital stock to
Purchaser, and will recapitalize both companies and strengthen
their balance sheets.
The Plan is focused on protecting CML Policyholders' insurance
benefits. Critically, the Plan will not result in the alteration of
any insurance benefits or the insurance terms of the Policyholders'
policies, such as premiums, coverage and claims. However, if the
Plan is not approved and CML is required to convert to a
liquidation proceeding, Policyholder insurance benefits could be
jeopardized.
Under the Plan, Policyholders' ownership rights and interests and
other Equity Interests in CML, which the Rehabilitator believes do
not have any value, will be extinguished and discharged, and the
Purchaser will become the owner of CML's newly issued capital
stock. In addition, the Plan provides certain releases, including
the release of the Purchaser and its Affiliates from any Claims in
connection with the Transactions, including the extinguishment and
discharge of Policyholders' Equity Interests.
In addition, the Plan will not impair the rights of creditors,
vendors, and other contractual counterparties. All such claims will
be processed and paid in the ordinary course of CML's business.
If the Plan is approved by the Court at the Plan Approval Hearing
and consummated, CML will emerge as a recapitalized insurance
company capable of meeting its policy obligations. Accordingly, the
Rehabilitator submits that the Plan is in the best interests of
Policyholders and CML's other stakeholders.
The Amended Plan Scheduling Order entered by the Court establishes
a detailed briefing schedule for the approval of the Plan. Copies
of the Amended Plan Scheduling Order, the Plan, a Disclosure
Statement that describes the Plan, the form of the Plan Approval
Order, and other important documents regarding the Rehabilitation
Proceeding, are available at (i) the New York Liquidation Bureau

Notices, and (ji) the website set up in connection with the Plan
and this Rehabilitation Proceeding,

THESE WEBSITES FOR ANY CHANGES TO THE SCHEDULED DATES OR DOCUMENTS.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CALL 888-389-6164.
Any person wishing to object to the approval of the Plan must
comply with the deadlines and procedures set forth in the Amended
Plan Scheduling Order, including a deadline of
March 30, 2026, for filing any objections to the Plan.

COSMETIC SURGERY: Unsecureds Will Get 100% of Claims in Plan
------------------------------------------------------------
Cosmetic Surgery Associates, LLC filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Western District of North Carolina a Disclosure
Statement describing Chapter 11 Plan dated February 23, 2026.
Formed in 1999, the Debtor is a North Carolina limited liability
company that owns an approximately 10,000-square-foot office
condominium in the Eastover Medical Park, located at 2620 East 7th
Street, Suite 300, Charlotte, North Carolina (the "Office
Condominium").
The Office Condominium is occupied by affiliate Voci Center Plastic
Surgery, P.A. ("VCPS"), which operates a medical practice in the
facility. The sole member and manager of the Debtor is Vincent E.
Voci, M.D.
Mecklenburg County, North Carolina holds a lien against the
Debtor's real property for unpaid ad valorem taxes of approximately
$17,758.32. Wells Fargo asserts a secured claim against the Estate
of approximately $1.2 million arising from a joint loan made to the
Debtor and VCPS, which is collateralized by a deed of trust against
the Office Condominium (in addition to certain of VCPS's personal
property). Upon information and belief, the Eastover Medical Park
II Condominium Association, Inc. also asserts a perfected lien
against the Office Condominium for unpaid community assessments of
at least $27,340.00. The Debtor scheduled general unsecured debts
of $34,450.00.
The Debtor believes that the fair market value of the Office
Condominium exceeds the amount of its total indebtedness. The
Bankruptcy Court approved the retention of brokers to market the
Office Condominium for sale, which process is ongoing. The
Bankruptcy Real Estate Marketing Agreement between the Debtor and
its brokers includes a 12-month marketing period. Once the Office
Condominium is under contract, and following approval by the
Bankruptcy Court following notice and a hearing, the Plan provides
that the property will be sold free and clear of all liens, claims,
interests, and encumbrances, with all such interests transferring
to the sale proceeds.
After payment of all Allowed Secured Claims and the customary costs
of sale at closing, the remaining net proceeds (together with any
other funds of the Estate) will be disbursed on the Distribution
Date to the holders of Allowed Unsecured Claims in their order of
priority under the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtor expects that the
Claims of all Creditors will be satisfied in full under this
process.
After satisfaction of all Claims of higher priority, the holder of
the Equity Interests in the Debtor (Dr. Voci) will receive any
remaining net sale proceeds and shall retain his Equity Interests
in the Reorganized Debtor. However, Dr. Voci will not receive or
retain any property under the Plan unless all Allowed Claims of
higher priority are fully satisfied. If that contingency does not
occur, the Equity Interests shall be cancelled and the Debtor will
be dissolved under applicable state law. Dr. Voci is the Debtor's
sole manager, but will not be compensated for his service in this
capacity by the Estate. He may, however, receive lawful
distributions as a member of the Reorganized Debtor following the
sale set forth in the Plan.
Class 5 consists of all Allowed General Unsecured Claims. These
Claims shall be treated as unsecured obligations of the Reorganized
Debtor. On the Distribution Date, holders of Allowed General
Unsecured Claims shall be paid Pro Rata Shares of the remaining Net
Sale Proceeds (after satisfaction of all Claims of higher priority
pursuant to applicable law) up to the full amounts of their Allowed
General Unsecured Claims as of the Petition Date.
The Debtor estimates that the Allowed Class 5 Claims total
$34,450.00. This Class will receive a distribution of 100% of their
allowed claims. This Class is impaired.
Class 6 consists of the Allowed Equity Interests in the Debtor,
held by Vincent E. Voci, M.D. (100%). After satisfaction of all
Allowed Claims of higher priority, the holder of the Allowed Equity
Interests shall receive distributions of any remaining Net Sale
Proceeds, if any, on the Distribution Date or as soon as
practicable thereafter commiserate with his respective ownership
percentage and shall retain such Equity Interests in the
Reorganized Debtor; provided, that the holder of the Allowed Equity
Interests will not receive or retain any property pursuant to the
Plan unless all Allowed Claims of higher priority are fully
satisfied as set forth in the Plan. If all Allowed Claims of higher
priority are not so satisfied, the Equity Interests in the Debtor
and/or Reorganized Debtor shall be deemed cancelled and the Debtor
and/or Reorganized Debtor shall be dissolved under applicable law.
The Debtor is confident there will be sufficient funds on hand
following the Property Sale to satisfy the distributions required
under Section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code and any other
obligations of the Reorganized Debtor under the Plan.

CUMULUS MEDIA: Enters Restructuring Deal to Eliminate $600M in Debt
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Cumulus Media Inc. announced on March 5, 2026, that it has entered
into a comprehensive restructuring support agreement with a group
of its lenders to eliminate approximately $600 million of debt,
substantially deleveraging its balance sheet and enhancing its
ability to execute on strategic priorities. The Company will
continue operating in the ordinary course throughout the process,
with no impact to employees, partners, or listeners.
"While we have outperformed the market on many of our most
important metrics, including share gains in both local and digital
revenue, the broader macroeconomic and industry-wide pressures we
have faced have remained unrelenting," said Mary G. Berner,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Cumulus Media. "Against
that backdrop, it became clear that Cumulus's remaining debt burden
limited our ability to fully realize the Company's potential, and
this agreement represents a major step forward."
Berner continued, "The prepackaged process is intended to address
the Company's debt efficiently with no disruption to our
operations, our people, and our strategies. On emergence, a
stronger financial foundation will better position Cumulus to
continue investing in premium content, enriched audience
experiences, advertiser performance enhancements, and the ongoing
growth of our digital marketing offerings."
To implement the Agreement, Cumulus and certain of its subsidiaries
commenced prepackaged Chapter 11 proceedings in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas on March 5,
2026. In conjunction with the Chapter 11 petitions, Cumulus has
filed a proposed Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") that
incorporates the terms of the RSA and is subject to approval by the
Court. The requisite majority of debtholders committed to vote in
favor of the Plan, which calls for the cancellation of 100% of the
Company's existing funded indebtedness in exchange for 100% of the
Company's reorganized equity and $50 million of new convertible
notes, as well as the amendment and restatement of the Company's
asset-based revolving credit facility to provide continued
liquidity. Cumulus expects that the Court will hold a hearing to
consider the approval of the Plan within 60 days of the filing date
and that the Company will emerge from bankruptcy following receipt
of required regulatory approvals from the Federal Communications
Commission.

CUMULUS MEDIA: S&P Cuts ICR to 'D' on Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Filing
------------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings lowered our issuer credit rating on Cumulus
Media Inc. to 'D' from 'CCC+'.
In addition, we lowered the issue-level ratings on Cumulus'
first-out senior secured term loan and first-out senior secured
notes to 'D' from 'CCC+', and the ratings on its second-out senior
secured term loan and second-out senior secured notes to 'D' from
'CCC-'.
The downgrade reflects Cumulus' filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection. The company was facing increasing pressure due to a
significant debt and interest burden. S&P said, "Given elevated
interest expense and weak forecast earnings, we expect continued
free cash flow deficits for the foreseeable future. Cumulus has
approximately $25 million in upcoming stub obligations due in March
and July 2026, which we believe it was unlikely to repay. Cumulus
initiated a prepackaged plan of reorganization, under which
existing lenders will exchange 100% of their debt for 100% of the
reorganized equity and $50 million of new convertible notes."
S&P expects to revisit the ratings once Cumulus emerges from
bankruptcy.
CUSHMAN & WAKEFIELD: S&P Affirms 'BB-' ICR, Outlook Negative
------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings affirmed its 'BB-' issuer credit rating on
Chicago-based commercial real estate service provider Cushman &
Wakefield Ltd. and its 'BB-' issue-level ratings on its senior
secured debt.
The positive outlook is based on S&P's expectation that adjusted
leverage is forecast to be sustained in the 3x-4x range, backed by
the company's deleveraging efforts.
The company's business mix relies primarily on revenues from
services. The company derives about 90% of its total revenues from
property management, leasing, valuation, and related services,
while capital market-related activities contribute the remainder.
S&P said, "Given this reliance on services revenue, we expanded our
industry peer group analysis to include the broader business
services industry, which we view as having less cyclicality and
competitive risk than the narrower finance company industry. Among
the broader peer group, we view Cushman & Wakefield's offerings as
limited to the niche of commercial real estate (CRE) and related
services and the fragmented and competitive nature of the market it
operates in." Its scale (about $7.1 billion in adjusted revenue) is
smaller than that of several higher-rated business services peers,
and its profitability is lower, with adjusted EBITDA margins at or
below 10% historically. These factors are somewhat offset by its
market position among the top three players in this sub-segment,
long-term favorable growth prospects of the sector it operates in,
some brand recognition, and long-standing client relationships.
S&P said, "Our adjusted revenue, expense, and EBITDA margins
reflect adjustments to eliminate the impact of pass-through
reimbursements related to client-dedicated personnel costs and
subcontracted vendor costs directly attributable to properties
under management. We borrow from the Hotels and Lodging
sector-specific adjustments in our Corporate Methodology – Ratios
& Adjustments criteria to make analytical adjustments to commercial
real estate service providers and property managers that are
consistent with those that we have long made for hotel and lodging
property managers.
"We expect adjusted leverage to be maintained in the 3x-4x range in
2026 and 2027. We expect activities across commercial real estate
CRE--including investments, leasing, and related transactions --to
continue to recover, backed by improvement in economic conditions
and rising investment volumes for many property types. As such, we
expect demand for commercial real estate (CRE) services to remain
positive and drive adjusted revenue growth of 5%-7% over 2026-2027.
Further, we believe recent improvements in profitability can be
sustained such that adjusted EBITDA margins are expected to be
10%-11% over this period. We believe these earnings expectations
--combined with the company's continued strong cash generation --
would help sustain net debt levels and result in adjusted leverage
at the mid-point or at the lower end of our 3x-4x range. While our
base-case scenario doesn't assume any dividends or large share
repurchases based on the company's track record, we recognize that
the company could allocate free cash opportunistically to pursue
inorganic growth through strategic investments or bolt- on
acquisitions. Alternatively, if the company continues to improve
cash and net debt levels or repay incremental debt, credit metrics
could improve faster than expected under our base case.
"The company's adjusted leverage improved to 3.5x at year-end 2025
from 4.5x in the prior year. We believe this deleveraging was
driven by top-line and earnings growth from recovering activities
across CRE markets across most of its business segments and regions
as well as the company's cash allocation toward debt reduction. For
instance, in 2025 its S&P Global Ratings-adjusted revenues and
earnings grew 7% and 16%, respectively, over the prior year,
resulting in an 80-basis point (bp) adjusted EBITDA margin
improvement on a year-over-year basis. Further, in 2025, the
company used about $300 million of the $350 million in adjusted
free cash it generated for debt prepayments.
"We expect the company's debt load and cost of debt to decrease.
This will result in lower interest expenses, improved coverage
metrics, and--ultimately--better cash generation. Therefore, we
expect the company's EBITDA interest coverage to be closer or
slightly above 4x over 2026-2027 compared to 3x for 2025. We also
expect it will generate about $400 million-$450 million annually in
free cash during this period. The company remains active in
managing its capital structure and related interest expenses by
leveraging improved capital-market conditions to reprice its debt
and addressing upcoming debt maturities. The most recent repricing
was during fourth-quarter 2025, when it lowered the spread on its
2030 Tranche-1 term loan to 250 bps from 275 bps. Further, the
company extended the maturity on its $1 billion revolver due in
2027 to 2030, and so it has no upcoming debt maturities until 2028,
when it $650 million senior secured notes come due.
"The positive outlook reflects our expectations that Cushman &
Wakefield will sustain S&P adjusted leverage in the 3x-4x range
while also maintaining FOCF to debt of above 10% over the next
12-24 months. We believe continued recovery in CRE activities will
support financial performance and the company's efforts to sustain
lower net debt levels could keep credit measures at the improved
levels.
"We could revise our outlook on the company to stable over the next
12 months if credit measures deteriorate such that adjusted
leverage rises above 4x or FOCF to debt deteriorates to less than
10%." This could occur if:
-- Operating performance weakened due to an unexpected softening
of activities across CRE markets; or
-- The company undertakes an aggressive financial policy, such as
pursuing large debt-financed acquisitions or shareholder-friendly
actions (such as large dividends or share repurchases).
S&P could upgrade the company in the next 12 months if:
-- The company's operating performance, as well as financial
policy actions, remain in line with our expectations such that
credit measures are sustained comfortably within our improved
tolerances of adjusted leverage of below 4x and FOCF to debt of
above 10%.

DEL MONTE: Seeks to Extend Plan Exclusivity to June 26
------------------------------------------------------
Del Monte Foods Corporation II Inc. and affiliates asked the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey to extend their
exclusivity periods to file a plan of reorganization and obtain
acceptance thereof to June 26 and August 26, 2026, respectively.
The Debtors explain that there are 18 Debtor entities which
collectively, as of the Petition Date, have over 2,700 employees,
including employees who are members of collective bargaining units,
and approximately $1.23 billion in long-term, secured funded debt
obligations. At the outset of these Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors
focused on commencing the comprehensive marketing and Sale Process
for substantially all of their assets as a going-concern business,
which culminated in the Debtors' selection of the Successful
Bidders for each of the business segments involving the SOTP
Transactions and this Court's approval thereof on February 6.
The Debtors claim that much work, both complex and challenging,
remains to be done. The Debtors are in the midst of pursuing the
closing of the SOTP Transactions, involving the sale of
substantially all of the Debtors' assets to three different buyers.
These Chapter 11 Cases, which have required navigating the
competing interests of various stakeholders and multiple creditor
constituencies and have involved a multiparty sale, are
indisputably complex, and such circumstances strongly weighs in
favor of an extension of the Debtors' Exclusive Periods.
Importantly, the Debtors are not seeking the extension of the
Exclusivity Periods to pressure or prejudice any of their
stakeholders, but rather to support the Plan confirmation process
and the Wind Down for the ultimate benefit of their stakeholder
group as a whole. Continued exclusivity will enable the Debtors to
focus on soliciting acceptances and obtaining confirmation (and
ultimately the implementation) of the Plan to bring these Chapter
11 Cases to an orderly conclusion, without the distraction of
competing plans.
The Debtors note that these Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors have made
significant progress toward concluding these Chapter 11 Cases,
including by filing the Plan. In the weeks ahead, the Debtors will
continue the progress made thus far, including, by seeking
conditional approval of the Disclosure Statement, and if granted,
soliciting votes on the Plan, and finalizing and closing the SOTP
Transactions.
Moreover, the Debtors are not seeking an extension of their
Exclusive Periods to pressure or prejudice any of their
stakeholders; rather, the Debtors seek to preserve and build upon
progress made to date by securing adequate time to obtain
confirmation of the Plan, all while continuing to perform and pay
their postpetition obligations in the ordinary course.
The Debtors assert that termination of the Debtors' Exclusive
Periods during this critical juncture would jeopardize the overall
progress of these Chapter 11 Cases and the Debtors' efforts as a
whole. If this Court were to deny the Debtors' request for an
extension of the Exclusive Periods, any party-in-interest would
then be free to propose a plan. Such a ruling would foster chaos
and engender uncertainty and likely cause substantial harm to the
Debtors' efforts in these Chapter 11 Cases, including the Plan
solicitation and confirmation process, and consummation of the SOTP
Transactions and Wind Down.

EXECUTIVE DEVELOPMENT: Gets Court OK to Use Cash Collateral
-----------------------------------------------------------
Executive Development Associates, Inc. received interim approval
from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Missouri
to use cash collateral to fund operations.
The court authorized the Debtor to use cash collateral to pay
operating expenses in accordance with its budget until further
order.
The Debtor's cash collateral includes post-petition income,
proceeds, and deposit accounts that may be subject to liens and
security interests of creditors. Although the Debtor has not yet
completed a comprehensive analysis of all liens, it believes that
the U.S. Small Business Administration holds a first-position lien
on the cash collateral.
The SBA will be provided with protection through monthly payments
of $4,111.50, commencing on April 1, 2026; and replacement liens on
post-petition rents, income, and proceeds of the Debtor's property,
with the same priority and extent as its pre-bankruptcy liens.
The budget outlines anticipated receipts and disbursements but does
not include potential recoveries of accounts receivable currently
being negotiated with various clients and entities that may be
holding estate funds subject to pre-petition UCC filings. These
anticipated recoveries totaling substantial sums from entities such
as Plastek Industries, Stripe, Sound Transit, Rand Corporation,
Honeywell FMT, and others are expected by the end of March and
would supplement funds available for adequate protection payments.
The final hearing is set for April 15. The deadline for filing
objections is on April 8.

FREEPORT LNG:S&P Affirms 'B-' Issuer Credit Rating, Outlook Stable
------------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings affirmed its 'B-' issuer credit rating on
Freeport LNG Investments LLLP (FLNGI) and its 'B-' issue-level
rating on its debt.
S&P said, "The stable outlook reflects our expectation that FLNGI
will maintain adequate liquidity, despite its stand-alone S&P
Global Ratings-adjusted leverage in the 9x area, for the next 12
months. We expect the company will receive stable distributions
from FLEX Intermediate Holdco (FLEX-IH) to service its debt.
"S&P Global Ratings has identified an error that dates back to
November 2021 in how we derived our credit ratings on Freeport LNG
Investments LLLP (FLNGI) and its senior secured debt. As discussed
below, our issuer credit rating on FLNGI should have been 'B-'
rather than the 'B' rating we assigned at the time. Our issue-level
rating on FLNGI's senior secured term loans issued in November 2021
was similarly overstated by one notch and should have been 'B'
instead of the 'B+' rating we assigned at the time.
"As explained below, the correction of these errors does not affect
any of our current ratings on FLNGI or its senior secured term
loan. We also note that our November 2021 research update
incorrectly identified the cash flow interruption score as neutral
instead of positive, although our underlying analysis was based on
the correct score.
"The errors that occurred in November 2021 involved a
misapplication of our criteria and do not affect any of our current
ratings on the entity. We typically rate the general partner (GP)
two to five notches below our issuer credit rating on the master
limited partnership (MLP) when they do not constitute a group, as
is the case with FLNGI. The number of notches between our rating on
the GP and our rating on the MLP reflects how we assess (positive,
neutral, or negative) certain characteristics such as cash flow
interruption risk, stand-alone debt leverage, and cash flow
diversity.
"In 2021, our 'B' issuer credit rating on FLNGI (the GP) reflected
a three-notch downward adjustment from our 'BB' issuer credit
rating on FLEX-IH (the MLP). The notching adjustment failed to
incorporate a key aspect of our Methodology: Master Limited
Partnerships And General Partnerships criteria, which states that
if the GP's leverage is greater than 4.75x, our stand alone credit
profile (SACP) on the GP must be at least five notches below our
SACP on the MLP and is capped at 'b+', while the results of our
notching cannot lower our SACP on the GP below 'b-'.
"Because we forecast stand-alone leverage of between 7x and 8x, the
ultimate rating outcome should have been five notches below our
rating on the MLP. The November 2021 article also incorrectly
stated our cash flow interruption risk assessment as neutral when
it should have been positive. Therefore, in the November 2021
article, we should have assigned a 'B-' issuer credit rating to the
company and a 'B' issue-level rating (reflecting the '2' recovery
rating we assigned to its debt).
"That said, the correction of the error does not affect our current
assessment of the entity's credit profile. This is because our
issuer credit rating on FLNGI has remained 'B-' since we downgraded
it in July 2022. The company also fully refinanced the debt it
issued in November 2021 in January 2026.
"Our ratings and forecast on FLNGI remain unchanged. We continue to
view the company's cash flow interruption risk and diversity as
neutral and its stand-alone leverage as negative. While this
reflects a four-notch downward revision from our rating on the MLP,
we appropriately reflect a five-notch downward revision subject to
a 'B-' floor and 'B+' cap, per our criteria.
"Our view of FLNGI's cash flow interruption risk reflects that it
relies on equity cures to fund its debt service during prolonged
periods of distress and lacks any structural enhancements at the
MLP that provide it with protection against distribution cuts.
However, the $90 million debt service reserve letter of credit
facility partially mitigates this risk. Despite the three trains,
which include different ownership stakes and off-takers, we assess
the FLNGI's cash flow diversity as neutral due to its lack of
redundancy, given the singular gas inlet into the terminal. Because
we expect its leverage will remain materially above 4.75x, the
likely path for a higher rating would require the company to
maintain stand-alone debt leverage of less than 4.0x over our
forecast period or for the MLP to be upgraded by two notches.
"The stable outlook on FLNGI reflects our expectation it will
maintain adequate liquidity despite stand-alone S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted leverage in the 9x area over the next 12 months.
We also expect the company will receive stable distributions from
FLEX-IH to fully service its debt."
S&P could lower its rating on FLNGI if:
-- FLEX-IH curtails its distributions or S&P lowers its rating on
FLEX-IH; or
-- S&P anticipates the company will face liquidity shortfalls and
its view of the likelihood of support via equity cures declines.
S&P could raise its rating on FLNGI if it:
-- Expect S&P's will maintain stand-alone leverage of less than 4x
over its forecast period; or
-- S&P raises its rating on FLEX-IH by at least two notches, which
would also stem from a material reduction in leverage at FLEX-IH.

GEE CONCEPTS: Gets Interim OK to Use Cash Collateral Until March 31
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Gee Concepts, LLC received interim approval from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona to use cash collateral
to fund operations.
The court authorized the Debtor to use cash collateral from Feb. 23
to March 31 in accordance with its monthly budget, subject to a 10%
variance.
The Debtor intends to use cash subject to security interests of
creditors in order to continue operating its business, Tru Burger
Co., a family-owned gourmet burger restaurant.
As of the petition date, the Debtor held approximately $3,205 in
bank accounts and additional inventory assets including alcohol,
pantry goods and prepared food, bringing the total estimated cash
collateral and related assets to roughly $11,405 when including
modest amounts of office furniture, equipment, and an internet
domain.
The Debtor believes that Midwest Regional Bank holds the primary
secured claim against this collateral based on a first-position
UCC-1 financing statement filed in 2017 and continued in 2022.
Midwest's total claim is approximately $179,000 and is
significantly undersecured relative to the collateral value.
Midwest may also assert a second claim of approximately $102,457
based on a separate UCC filing.
Other entities that may claim interests in certain collateral
include the U.S. Small Business Administration, with an estimated
claim of $146,408; Kapitus LLC, with an estimated claim of $28,000;
and YouLend US, LLC, which is believed to hold purchase-money
security interests in specific equipment, including a point-of-sale
system.
As protection, Midwest and YouLend US will receive monthly payments
of $300 and $600, respectively.
Midwest will also receive replacement liens on the Debtor's
post-petition assets, including cash and receivables, with the same
validity, priority, and extent up to the amount of any decline in
the value of its security interest as of the petition date.
The order is available at https://is.gd/30KJHN from
PacerMonitor.com.
The final hearing is set for March 25. The deadline for filing
objections is on March 23.

GLOBAL JOINT: Files Amendment to Disclosure Statement
-----------------------------------------------------
Global Joint Venture Inc. submitted an Amended Disclosure Statement
describing Amended Chapter 11 Plan dated February 23, 2026.
While the Debtor was unable to restructure its underlying mortgage
debt with Emerald Creek Capital 3, LLC (the "Lender") prior to
bankruptcy, the parties subsequently came to agreement to pursue an
auction sale process during the bankruptcy case.
The Debtor obtained entry of a Bidding Procedures Order on October
14, 2025 (the "Bid Procedures") and thereafter the Debtor noticed
an auction sale of its property located at 139-141 Bowery Street
(the "Property"). Ultimately, however, no Qualifying Bids were
received and the Lender's ensuing credit bid in the sum of
$47,373,000 (equal to the allowed amount of its secured claim) was
accepted as the highest and best bid for the Property.
The Bankruptcy Court approved the Lender's Credit Bid at a hearing
held on February 18, 2026. A Sale Order authorizing the Debtor to
sell the Property to the Lender pursuant to Sections 363(b) and (f)
of the Bankruptcy Code.
The Debtor has updated this Disclosure Statement to reflect
approval of the Sale to the Lender.
The Debtor did not receive any Qualifying Bids by the bidding
deadline, and the Debtor designated the Lender as the high bidder
based upon its final Credit Bid in the sum of $47,393,000.
The Amended Disclosure Statement does not alter the proposed
treatment for unsecured creditors and the equity holder:
* Class 2 consists of Unsecured Claims. Based upon the Lender
Contribution, the holders of Allowed Class 2 Unsecured Claims shall
be paid a pro rata dividend from the GUC Fund. The Debtor projects
that the allowed total Class 2 pool of Unsecured Claims is
approximately $72,877 and, thus, general creditors are projected to
receive a pro rata dividend of approximately 13.7% from the GUC
Fund. The Class 2 Claims of Allowed General Unsecured Creditors are
impaired and are eligible to vote on the Plan.
* Class 3 consists of the Equity Interests in the Debtor. No
payments shall be made on account of Equity Interests, and Equity
Interests will be cancelled following the Effective Date with due
regard as to any tax ramifications. Class 3 Equity Interests are
impaired and eligible to vote on the Plan.
The Plan shall be implemented and funded through the Sale and
transfer of the Property to the Lender based on the Lender's Credit
Bid. The Credit Bid shall be confirmed at the Confirmation Hearing
and incorporated as part of the Confirmation Order.
The Sale shall close on a post-confirmation basis, whereupon the
Property shall be transferred and conveyed to the Lender. The
Confirmation Order shall contain appropriate provisions authorizing
and directing the Debtor or the Disbursing Agent to execute and
deliver all Property Transfer Instruments, and to perform any act
that is necessary, or may be requested by the Lender, for the
consummation of the Plan on the Effective Date.

GREEN RIVER: Stapleton Group's Jake Diiorio Named as Receiver
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Amy E. Potter of the U.S. District Court for the District
of Oregon, Portland Division, entered an agreed order directing the
appointment of Jake Diiorio and Stapleton Group as receiver for
Green River Holdings, LLC.
American AgCredit requested the appointment of a receiver.
The Court entered a default judgment against the Defendant that it
is insolvent or is in imminent danger of insolvency. The assets of
Green River, including but not limited to all interests in and to
real property and all tangible and intangible personal property
owned by Green River, wherever located, including but not limited
to inventory, rents, income, profits, licenses, accounts,
intellectual property, interests, claims, equipment, and all other
property and proceeds thereof, including all business operations
associated with Green River, are in danger of being materially
injured or impaired as a result of, among other things, Green
River's defaults under certain agreements with the Plaintiffs, and
failure to pay the balances due and owing to Plaintiffs.
Receivership is necessary and appropriate to protect the Property
and to conserve and protect the interests of the Green River's
partners or creditors.
Plaintiffs assert that, as of September 30, 2025, the Defendants
owed a total of $28,901,878.10.
Jake Diiorio and Stapleton Group, a part of J.S. Held, are not
interested in this action and are competent, eligible and qualified
to serve as Receiver in this case.
The Receiver is appointed as a general receiver with exclusive and
complete possession, control, and management authority over Green
River's business and all its Property, commonly referred to as:
-- 39550 NW Chalmers Lane, Cornelius, OR 97113;
-- 39200 NW Chambers Lane, Cornelius, OR 97113;
-- 6795 NW Roy Road, Cornelius, OR 97113;
-- 41200 NW Reiling Road, Forest Grove, OR 97116; and
-- No Situs, Forest Grove, OR 97116.
The Court ruled that the Receiver is appointed as a general
receiver with exclusive and complete possession, control, and
management authority over Green River's business and all its
Property, with the power and authority to collect, control, manage,
conserve, protect, and improve the Property as deemed necessary or
appropriate in Receiver's sole discretion in aid of the
reorganization and/or sale of the business, including, if
necessary, the liquidation of the Property. The Receiver shall
secure and manage the Property, review the books and records,
investigate the operations and financial affairs of the business,
and take such other actions as may be deemed appropriate by the
Receiver.
The Court further ruled that any utility company providing services
to the Property, including gas, electricity, water, sewer, trash
collection, telephone, communications, or similar services, shall
be prohibited from discontinuing service to the Property based upon
unpaid bills incurred by Green River. Further, such utilities shall
transfer any deposits held by the utility to the exclusive control
of such Receiver and be prohibited from demanding that the Receiver
deposit additional funds in advance to maintain or secure such
services. New accounts under the name of the receivership shall be
established within 30 business days. Utility companies are
prohibited from discontinuing service while the new receivership
accounts are in the process of being established.
Green River provide to Receiver, within two (2) business days of
service of this Order, a written summary of the current status of
all insurance and taxes, and that Green River not cancel any
existing insurance coverage with respect to the Property or any
portion of the Property without Receiver's express written consent,
unless Green River has replaced that coverage with equal or greater
coverage from insurers acceptable to Receiver.
The Receiver shall file a Notice of Compensation of Professional,
which shall describe the time spent and the billing rates of the
receiver and any other professional person who performed work to be
compensated, a description of the services performed, and a
detailed list of expenses, with a statement of the amounts
requested.
The Receiver and their agents are entitled to rely on all
outstanding rules of law and Court orders and shall not be liable
to anyone for their own good faith compliance with any order, rule,
law, judgment, or decree.
The court further ruled that this appointment of Receiver is
effective as of the date of this Order, and the Court waives the
posting of a bond or other security.

GULFSIDE SUPPLY: Moody's Lowers CFR to B3, Outlook Remains Stable
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Ratings downgraded Gulfside Supply, Inc.'s dba Gulfeagle
Supply (Gulfeagle) corporate family rating to B3 from B2,
probability of default rating to B3-PD from B2-PD, and the rating
on the company's senior secured bank credit facility to B3 from B2.
The outlook remains stable.
The downgrade to B3 reflects Gulfeagle's high leverage, weak
interest coverage and a deterioration in liquidity and limited
covenant headroom. Moody's expects deleveraging to significantly
below 6x debt/EBITDA from 7x at December 31, 2025 will be difficult
in the next 12 – 18 months, given intense competition from much
larger and better capitalized distributors that constrains price
increases and limits margin expansion. In addition, ongoing
economic uncertainties and weak consumer confidence are weighing on
US residential new construction and repair and remodeling, key
demand drivers for the company.
Gulfeagle has limited access to its cash on hand and $150 million
senior secured revolving credit facility (RCF) due June 2029 given
recently amended financial covenants. Gulfeagle must maintain $85
million of minimum liquidity through September 30, 2027, which
includes both cash on hand and RCF availability. As of December 31,
2025, excess liquidity was only $30 million, which pales in
comparison to the company's fixed payments of nearly $60 million.
Fixed payments include cash interest, term loan amortization and
current portion of its operating lease commitments. The amended
maximum leverage covenant is 6.25x though June 30, 2026, with step
downs thereafter. Absent a material strengthening of current
industry conditions, cushion under its covenants will reduce as the
threshold tightens.
RATINGS RATIONALE
Gulfeagle's B3 CFR reflects the company's expected high leverage of
about 6x debt/EBITDA at year-end 2026, despite projected debt
reduction. Moody's projects low interest coverage of around 2.5x
EBITDA/interest expense over the next 18 months. Gulfeagle is a
small distributor based on revenue and operates in the competitive
distribution sector, with reliance on roofing shingles,
roofing-related products and other commodity-like products, which
tend to be easily available from other distributors. Given recent
consolidation in the distribution space for building products in
the US, Moody's expects competitive pressures will intensify in a
subdued market environment.
Gulfeagle's leveraged capital structure is mitigated by its decent
operating performance, with its EBITDA margin sustained in the
range of 7% - 9% over the next 18 months.
Industry conditions were softer in 2025, reflecting reduced
inventory restocking activity, lower storm-driven demand, and a
weaker repair-and-remodeling backdrop, which limited volume and
pricing tailwinds for roofing distributors. For 2026, Moody's
expects demand to remain subdued but more stable, supported by the
largely non-discretionary nature of roof repair and replacement,
even as competitive intensity continues to constrain meaningful
margin expansion.
Gulfeagle is able to generate free cash flow in the range of $25 -
$35 million for 2026, with excess cash used for debt reduction.
Gulf eagle has no material debt maturities over the next three
years.
The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectations that excess cash
will be used for debt reduction, resulting in leverage remaining
below 7x debt/EBITDA over the next 12-18 months. The ability to
generate free cash flow, no significant maturities and Moody's
expectations that the company will address the tight headroom under
its financial covenants, also support the stable outlook.
The B3 rating assigned to the senior secured bank debt, which is at
the same level as the B3 corporate family rating (CFR), results
from its status as the largest portion of debt in Gulfside's
capital structure. The senior secured bank debt consists of the
$150 million RCF due June 2029 and a $600 million (as of December
31, 2025) senior secured term loan due June 2031. The RCF and term
loan are pari passu with each other. Each has a first lien on
substantially all assets.
FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS
Upwards rating movement could occur if end markets remain
supportive of long-term organic growth such that debt/EBITDA is
sustained below 6x and EBITDA/interest expense remains above 2.5x.
Significant improvement in liquidity would also support an
upgrade.
A ratings downgrade could occur if debt/EBITDA remains above 7x and
EBITDA/interest stays below 1.5x. Negative ratings pressure may
also develop if the company liquidity remains constrained or adopts
increasingly aggressive acquisition or shareholder-return
initiatives.
Gulfeagle, headquartered in Tampa, Florida, is a national
distributor of primarily roofing-related products. The Resch family
owns 100% of Gulfeagle. Its revenue for the last 12 months ending
December 31, 2025 was $1.4 billion.
The principal methodology used in these ratings was Distribution
and Supply Chain Services published in November 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.

S&P said, "We consider the financial statements necessary to
maintain and assess our ratings on these issuers. Accordingly,
these ratings are now at risk of being withdrawn if we do not
receive fiscal 2024 financial statements within 30 days.
"For debt structures where there are multiple revenue streams, we
have placed the ratings on the entire structure on CreditWatch
where we lack timely information for a key rating component of the
structure. In addition, for state program ratings dependent on
state aid coverage, we have placed ratings on CreditWatch where we
lack information to confirm program eligibility. Similarly, for
wholesale entities, where we lack timely information for a material
participant. For issuers that also have bond anticipation notes,
those short-term ratings could also be affected by the withdrawal
of the long-term rating.
"If issuers provide us with 2024 financial statements within 30
days, we will conduct a review and resolve the CreditWatch action
within 90 days."

KBR INC: Fitch Keeps 'BB+' LongTerm IDR on Watch Negative
---------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has maintained KBR Inc.'s ratings, including on its
Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR), on Rating Watch Negative
(RWN) due to the company's plans to spin off its Mission Technology
Solutions (MTS) business into a separate company. The RWN applies
to all the company's rated debt. New KBR will consist of the
Sustainable Technology Solutions (STS) business. Fitch has also
assigned Recovery Ratings of 'RR2' to the company's senior secured
debt. The assignment of 'RR2' corrects an error in Fitch's
application of its Recovery Rating Criteria.
The RWN mainly reflects the uncertainty surrounding New KBR's
future capital structure and financial policy, as well as the
smaller size and lower level of diversification following the
spin-off. Resolution of the RWN is expected at transaction
completion, currently anticipated in mid- to late 2026, contingent
on greater clarity regarding New KBR's capital structure, financial
policy and strategic objectives.
Key Rating Drivers
Planned Spin-Off of MTS Business: The planned spin-off of the MTS
business will create two separate companies with differing
profiles. The higher-margin, growth-oriented New KBR will be
comprised of the STS business, focused on energy transition and
decarbonization, leveraging proprietary IP-protected process
technologies and it engineering and advisory capabilities. The
lower-margin government IT-focused MTS business benefits from a
multiyear backlog and lower, more stable growth prospects relative
to STS. Fitch believes the planned spin-off will enhance the
operational and strategic focus of STS and MTS.
Low Double-Digit Pre-Spin EBITDA Margins: Fitch expects pre-spin
KBR to generate low double-digit EBITDA margins and low- to
mid-single-digit FCF margins over the next few years. Fitch views
these as in line with government services peers and the 'BB' rating
category. While pre-spin profitability is weaker relative to
sustainable energy peers. Fitch views the company's margins as less
variable. Fitch expects MTS to generate lower, more stable margins,
while New KBR is expected to generate low-20% EBITDA margins which
are viewed as more variable without the stabilizing MTS segment.
Sub-3.5x Pre-Spin Leverage: Fitch views pre-spin KBR's leverage
metrics to be in line with the 'BB+' rating level. The agency
expects EBITDA leverage to fluctuate in the 2.5x-3.5x range,
including factoring, depending upon the pace and magnitude of
acquisitions and debt repayment. Management has indicated that MTS
may support higher leverage, with New KBR likely to operate with a
more conservative leverage profile.
M&A-Focused Capital Deployment: KBR has a track record of executing
M&A, and Fitch expects M&A to remain a strategic focus for STS and
MTS post-spin. Fitch also believes the spin-off should enhance bid
competitiveness and better align capital deployment and financial
priorities with the distinct strategic objectives of the separated
businesses.
Other Rating Considerations: KBR's 'BB+' IDR incorporates its
multiyear backlog, positive FCF generation, and exposure to growth
areas of the defense budget and sustainability trends. The rating
also reflects KBR's current financial policy and capital deployment
strategy, which could include debt-funded M&A as a focus area.
Peer Analysis
KBR's diverse set of offerings serving the government, commercial
and industrial end markets is unique relative to peers. KBR's
closest peers operate mainly in the government IT contracting
business, including Science Application International Corporation
(SAIC; not rated [NR]) and Booz Allen Hamilton (NR).
Differentiators in KBR's business include its international unit
and its STS segment. Total revenue tied to the U.S. government at
KBR in 2024 was 57% compared to SAIC (98%) and Booz Allen (98%).
KBR's STS segment offers energy management, energy transition and
consulting services that compete with some of the largest
engineering and construction (E&C) companies in the world, such as
AECOM and Fluor. However, KBR's exit from lump-sum EPC contracts
reduced its risk profile compared to these large E&Cs, making it
less susceptible to construction risks, while its STS services
provide it with margin upside.
KBR and Booz Allen are of similar size, while SAIC is somewhat
smaller. KBR's FCF margins are improving toward peer levels, with
leverage roughly in line with Booz Allen's and slightly lower than
that of SAIC. KBR's EBITDA margins are similar to Booz Allen's and
slightly above those of SAIC.
Fitch’s Key Rating-Case Assumptions
- KBR completes the spin-off of MTS in 2H26;
- Low single-digit organic revenue growth in the MTS segment, with
high single-digit to low double-digit growth in the STS segment
over the forecast period;
- EBITDA margins in the low double digits over the forecast
period;
- Capex between 0.5% and 1.0% of revenue;
- Fitch believes the company will continue its acquisitive
strategy, with acquisitions being largely funded with debt;
- No material change in shareholder returns.
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 (bb+, Higher),
Diversification and Asset Quality (bbb-, Moderate), Company
Operational Characteristics (bbb-, Moderate), Profitability (bbb-,
Moderate), Financial Structure (bb+, Higher), and Financial
Flexibility (bbb-, Moderate).
- 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 'aa-' results in no
adjustment.
- The SCP is 'bb+'.
To derive the IDR:
Fitch has made no adjustments to the SCP, resulting in an IDR of
'BB+'.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
To resolve the RWN:
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Negative
Rating Action/Downgrade
- Completion of the MTS separation;
- Heightened variability of New KBR's cash flow risk profile
through business cycles, including deteriorating revenue and
backlog trends;
- Establishment of a more flexible New KBR financial policy, as
well as more opportunistic capital deployment priorities.
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to the
Removal of the RWN and Assignment of a Stable Outlook
- Completion of the MTS separation;
- Establishment of an appropriately capitalized New KBR balance
sheet, as well as credit-conscious capital deployment priorities.
On a pre-spin basis:
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Negative
Rating Action/Downgrade
- EBITDA leverage sustained above 3.5x;
- A shift in the backlog trend, including consolidated book-to-bill
approaching 1.0x;
- A significant loss on one of its hybrid or fixed price contracts
that impact the company's profitability, cash flow generation, or
ability to win future contracts;
- Government shutdown or budget cuts that impede the company's
ability to realize backlog revenue, prospective revenue, or ability
to bid or win new contracts.
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Positive
Rating Action/Upgrade
- Demonstrated commitment to financial policy supporting EBTIDA
leverage sustained below 3.0x;
- Continued execution of M&A strategy that strengthens the
operational and cash flow profile;
- Maintenance of a strong backlog that supports revenue
visibility.
Liquidity and Debt Structure
Fitch expects the company's pre-spin liquidity to be sufficient
over the next few years, comprised of cash and revolver
availability. Fitch also expects liquidity and financial
flexibility to be adequate to maintain operations, supported by
consistently positive FCF generation. The company's capital

facility, term loan A, term loan B, and senior unsecured notes.

data file which aggregates key data points used in its credit

assumptions, default rate forecasts, sector key performance
indicators and sector-level forecasts are among the data items

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.

LION RIBBON: Hilco Buys Design Group Americas Assets in Ch. 11
--------------------------------------------------------------
Global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP advised Hilco Capital and
its affiliates in the acquisition and sale of the assets of Design
Group Americas, Inc., a global manufacturer and distributor of
celebrations, stationery, creative play, and gifting products.
The acquisition was U.K.-law governed and involved dozens of U.S.
and foreign subsidiaries. The court-supervised sales of the U.S.
subsidiaries' assets were completed under U.S. law in a Chapter 11
bankruptcy and the disposition of the assets of the foreign
subsidiaries is taking place under local law in each of about half
a dozen jurisdictions.
"This matter exemplifies the integrated Greenberg Traurig
Restructuring & Special Situations team as well as the power of its
cross-border practice in the face of significant legal and
regulatory complexity," said Oscar N. Pinkas, co-chair of the
Global Restructuring & Special Situations Practice, who led the
Greenberg Traurig deal team. "Hilco Capital entrusted us with a
multifaceted transaction that required not only sophisticated
restructuring and financing strategies, but coordination across
multiple practice areas and jurisdictions. We are deeply grateful
for Hilco Capital's confidence in our team and its collaborative
approach throughout the successful acquisition, sale, and winddown
process. It was a privilege to work alongside its team, and we look
forward to supporting them in future endeavors."
The transaction involved a Chapter 11 filing in the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of Texas for the U.S. entities
after Hilco Capital, through a special purpose vehicle, acquired
100% of Design Group Americas in June 2025 from its U.K. parent
company. Hilco provided $40 million in bridge and
debtor-in-possession financing to fund operations before and during
bankruptcy. Over six months, Design Group Americas monetized the
assets of the U.S. companies, fully repaid Hilco's loans, and
confirmed a Chapter 11 liquidation plan that became effective in
December 2025. The debtors are now completing asset dispositions
and winddowns of their foreign subsidiaries under local law.
The firm guided Hilco through acquisition, multiple financings, and
the legal and regulatory aspects of the bankruptcy, helping secure
court approval for these bespoke transactions throughout, which set
a precedent for lenders and affiliates to finance and manage asset
sales in Chapter 11 cases.
The Greenberg Traurig team included more than 40 attorneys and
paraprofessionals. The core deal team included Banking & Financial
Services Shareholder Luke Lado in London, Corporate Shareholder
Joel Wheeler in London, Finance Shareholder Jeffrey M. Wolf in
Boston, Restructuring & Special Situations Shareholder Julia
Frost-Davies in Boston, Restructuring & Special Situations
Shareholder Nathan A. Haynes in New York, Restructuring & Special

MAILTROPOLIS LLC: Unsecured Creditors to Split $9K over 3 Years
---------------------------------------------------------------
Mailtropolis, LLC filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Middle District of Florida a Plan of Reorganization dated February
24, 2026.
The Debtor is a Florida for profit corporation created by Articles
of Organization filed with the Florida Secretary of State on or
around November 30, 2004. The Debtor creates tailored marketing
solutions that forge a powerful bond between their clients and
their client's potential customers.
The Debtor provides a wide-range of marketing services from
strategy consulting, branding design, websites, digital marketing,
social media, SEO, campaigns, printing and direct mail, lead
generation and strategy. The Debtor's principal place of business
is located at 10219 General Drive, Orlando, FL 32824 ("Premises"),
which the Debtor leases from General D2, LLC (a noninsider).
The Debtor's projected disposable income is $8,978.00.
This Plan provides for 1 class of secured claims; 1 class of
unsecured claims; and 1 class of equity security holders.
Class 2 consists of the Allowed Unsecured Claims against the
Debtor. This Class is Impaired.
* Consensual Plan Treatment: The liquidation value or amount
that unsecured creditors would receive in a hypothetical chapter 7
case is approximately $0.00. Accordingly, the Debtor proposes to
pay unsecured creditors a pro rata portion of $9,000.00. The
Reorganized Debtor shall pay said amount in equal quarterly
payments of $750.00 and shall be disbursed pro rata to the holders
of Allowed General Unsecured Claims. Payments shall commence on the
first day of the month, on the first calendar quarter following the
Effective Date and shall continue quarterly for eleven additional
quarters. Pursuant to Section 1191 of the Bankruptcy Code, the
value to be distributed to unsecured creditors is greater than the
Debtor's projected disposable income to be received in the 3-year
period beginning on the date that the first payment is due under
the plan.
* Nonconsensual Plan Treatment: The liquidation value or
amount that unsecured creditors would receive in a hypothetical
chapter 7 case is approximately $0.00. Accordingly, Debtor proposes
to pay unsecured creditors a pro rata portion of its projected
Disposable Income, $8,978.00. If the Debtor remains in possession,
plan payments shall include the Subchapter V Trustee's
administrative fee which will be billed hourly at the Subchapter V
Trustee's then current allowable blended rate. Plan Payments shall
commence on the first calendar quarter following the Effective
Date, and shall continue quarterly for eleven additional quarters.
The quarterly payment for the first four quarters shall be
$1,109.25. The quarterly payments for the second four quarters
shall be $517.50. The quarterly payments for the final four
quarters shall be $617.75.
Class 3 consists of any and all equity interests and warrants
currently issued or authorized in the Debtor. This Class is
Unimpaired. Holders of Class 3 interests shall retain their full
equity interest in the same amounts, percentages, manner and
structure as existed on the Petition Date.
The Plan contemplates that the Reorganized Debtor will continue to
operate the Debtor's business.
Except as explicitly set forth in this Plan, all cash in excess of
operating expenses generated from operation until the Effective
Date will be used for Plan Payments or Plan implementation, cash on
hand as of Confirmation shall be available for Administrative
Expenses.

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

About Marvin Gardens Property LLC
Marvin Gardens Property LLC is a privately held real estate
investment and management company.
The company sought relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code (Bankr. Case No. 26-20068) on January 7, 2026. In its
petition, the Debtor reported estimated assets of
$100,001-$1,000,000 and estimated liabilities of
$100,001-$1,000,000.
Honorable Bankruptcy Judge Christopher M. Klein handles the case.

MARYLAND HEALTH: Plan Exclusivity Period Extended to June 5
-----------------------------------------------------------
Judge Maria Ellena Chavez-Ruark of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Maryland extended Maryland Health Alliance, Inc.'s
exclusive periods to file a plan of reorganization and obtain
acceptance thereof to June 5 and August 4, 2026, respectively.
As shared by Troubled Company Reporter, the Debtor explains that
this case involves a healthcare organization with complex revenue
streams from multiple healthcare payors, including insurance
companies and government healthcare programs. Unlike a typical
small business debtor whose revenue derives from straightforward
commercial transactions, the Debtor's revenue cycle involves
billing, claims processing, and reimbursement from numerous
third-party payors, each with distinct payment timelines,
contractual terms, and regulatory requirements.
Additionally, two creditors continued to withdraw funds from the
Debtor's prepetition bank account post-petition, despite demand
that they cease doing so. One of these creditors withdrew
approximately $90,000 in post-petition funds, and the Debtor has
been compelled to file an adversary proceeding against that
creditor to recover those funds. The prosecution of this adversary
proceeding adds an additional layer of complexity to the case and
has necessarily diverted the Debtor's resources and attention.
The Debtor asserts that it is not seeking this extension to
pressure creditors or to use exclusivity as a tactical weapon.
Rather, the Debtor seeks additional time for the legitimate purpose
of completing the administrative steps necessary to formulate a
viable plan, including preparation of monthly operating reports and
resolution of the adversary proceeding. This is the Debtor's first
request for an extension of the exclusivity period.
The Debtor further asserts that an unresolved contingency exists in
the form of the pending adversary proceeding to recover the
approximately $90,000 in post-petition funds wrongfully taken by a
creditor. The resolution of this adversary proceeding will
materially affect the estate's financial position and,
consequently, the terms of any proposed plan of reorganization.

MATTHEWS INTERNATIONAL: S&P Alters Outlook to Neg, Affirms 'B' ICR
------------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings revised the outlook on Pittsburgh-based Matthews
International Corp. (MATW) to negative from stable and affirmed its
'B' issuer credit rating (ICR) on the company. S&P subsequently
withdrew its ICR on MATW at the company's request.
Before this withdrawal, the negative outlook reflected the risk
that the effect of costs related to M&A, litigation, and
restructurings could increase adjusted leverage above S&P's
downside threshold of 6x. It also reflected the risk that these
costs could lead to sustained negative discretionary cash flow,
forcing MATW to rely on liquidity or additional debt to help fund
its dividend and mandatory debt amortization.
S&P said, "MATW incurred elevated strategic costs above our
expectations, burdening margins and cash flow. We now expect cash
costs related to mergers and acquisitions (M&A), Telsa litigation,
and restructurings to be above our previous forecast for at least
fiscal years 2026 and 2027.
"Although we expect continued stable performance in MATW's
memorialization segment, higher costs have increased our leverage
expectations for the company to the mid-5.0x area in 2026 (from our
previous expectation of 4.8x), improving to about the 5.0x area in
2027.
"In addition, we now expect reported free operating cash flow of
about $9 million in 2026, improving to about $18 million in 2027."
At this level, MATW will likely need to rely on its available
liquidity to fund shareholder distributions and its debt
amortization in the near-to-medium term.
The negative outlook reflects the risk of higher leverage and
weaker cash flows stemming from higher-than-expected strategic and
other costs. Operationally, MATW performed in line with
expectations in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, with a seasonally
low period in its memorialization segment, which is now the main
contributor to EBITDA following the company's recent business
divestments. However, expenditures incurred during the quarter
related to cost-reduction initiatives and the ongoing Tesla legal
dispute within MATW's industrial technologies business were above
expectations. S&P said, "We now believe these costs will be above
our previous forecast, leading to leverage increasing above 5x for
2026 and 2027, and resulting in discretionary cash flow deficits
(after shareholder distributions) through at least 2027.
Furthermore, we believe there is a risk that these costs will trend
above our revised expectations or be sustained for even longer,
given the overall uncertainty."
Furthermore, subsequent to its first quarter, the company called
its notes and amended its secured credit agreement. S&P said,
"Following these actions, we believe MATW's liquidity position is
about $300 million-$320 million. We expect reported free cash flow
of about $9 million in 2026, improving to about $18 million in
2027." Although this level of cash flow will be sufficient to cover
debt amortization, the company will likely rely on its liquidity
position to maintain its dividend for at least the next two years.
Before this withdrawal, the negative outlook reflected the risk
that the impact from costs related to M&A, litigation,
restructurings, and Tesla could increase adjusted leverage above
S&P's downside threshold of 6x. It also reflects the risk that
these costs could lead to sustained negative discretionary cash
flow, forcing MATW to rely on liquidity or additional debt to help
fund its dividend and mandatory debt amortization.

MOUNTAINEER MERGER: S&P Rates $54.8MM Priming Term Loans 'CCC-'
---------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'CCC-' issue-level rating to
Mountaineer Merger Corp.'s (CCC/Negative) $54.8 million priming
term loan and $50 million priming delayed-draw term loan due in
2030. The recovery rating is '5', indicating its expectation of
modest (10%-30%; rounded estimate: 10%) recovery in the event of
default. Similar to its existing term loan, the priming facilities
will pay interest of SOFR + 800 basis points (bps), allowing for
the option of 700 bps of payment-in-kind (PIK), and they don't have
annual amortization.
S&P said, "In addition, we lowered our issue-level rating on the
company's existing term loan due 2030 to 'CC' from 'CCC-'. This
reflects our revision of the recovery rating to '6' from '5' due to
lower recovery prospects given the increased priority debt in the
company's capital structure. The '6' recovery rating indicates our
expectation for negligible (0%-10%; rounded estimate: 0%) recovery
in the event of a default. The outstanding balance of $2.5 million
under the company's existing term loan facility consists of a small
portion of lenders that didn't roll up into the priming term loan
facility, which we view as immaterial.
"We plan to discontinue our issue-level rating on the company's
prior $25 million delayed-draw term loan because it was made
fungible to the existing term loan and rolled up into the priming
term loan."
The additional $50 million liquidity provided by the priming
delayed-draw term loan will support the company's efforts to turn
around its operations. The company plans to use these funds to
cover operating expenses and invest in fresh merchandise, which
should improve its inventory position. Although the loan provides
much-needed liquidity in the short term, the accumulating nature of
the PIK interest component is an additional longer-term hurdle for
the company to overcome in its efforts to strengthen credit
metrics.
S&P said, "Our 'CCC' issuer credit rating and negative outlook on
Mountaineer Merger Corp. are unchanged. The company, which operates
as Gabe's, has had pronounced revenue declines due to insufficient
inventory and soft consumer demand. This led to margin pressures
and a reported free operating cash flow (FOCF) deficit of $47
million in the third quarter of 2025 on a year-to-date basis. We
believe the company's liquidity challenges will continue given the
expected FOCF deficits and constrained availability under its
asset-based lending (ABL) facility."
Issue Ratings--Recovery Analysis
Key analytical factors
-- Gabe's capital structure consists of its existing $175 million
ABL facility (unrated) due in 2027, a $50 million priming
delayed-draw term loan, a $54.8 million priming term loan, and a
$2.5 million existing initial term loan due in 2030.
-- Mountaineer Merger Corp., a subsidiary of Mountaineer Ultimate
Holdings LLC, is the borrower and reporting entity.
-- S&P said, "We assigned our 'CCC-' issue-level rating to Gabe's
$54 million first-lien term loan and $50 million delayed-draw term
loan. The '5' recovery rating reflects our expectation for modest
(10%-30%; rounded estimate: 10%) recovery."
-- S&P's simulated default scenario considers a default in 2027
due to Gabe's inability to integrate its Old Time Pottery
acquisition, greater competitive pressures, disruption in product
sourcing, and a macroeconomic slowdown that significantly reduces
consumer spending. In turn, substantial negative same-store sales
drastically reduce EBITDA and compress margins.
-- S&P said, "We use an enterprise valuation (EV) approach to
assess its recovery prospects because we believe lenders would
receive the greatest recovery through reorganization. We apply a 5x
multiple, in line with the multiples we use for retail peers."
Simulated default assumptions
-- Simulated year of default: 2027
-- EBITDA at emergence: About $26 million
-- Implied EV multiple: 5x
-- Estimated gross EV at emergence: $132 million
Simplified waterfall
-- Net EV after 5% administrative costs: $125 million
-- ABL claims: about $109 million
-- Collateral value available to first-lien creditors: about $16
million
-- Priming first-lien credit facility claims: $119 million
-- Recovery expectations: 10%-30%; rounded estimate:10%
-- Existing first-lien credit facility claims: $3 million
-- Recovery expectations: 0%-10%; rounded estimate:0%
All debt amounts include six months of prepetition interest.

NATGASOLINE LLC: Moody's Affirms B3 CFR & Alters Outlook to Stable
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Ratings affirmed Natgasoline LLC's (Natgasoline) B3
corporate family rating and the B3-PD probability of default
rating. Moody's also affirmed the B3 rating on the senior secured
bank credit facilities. The rating outlook was changed to stable
from positive.
RATINGS RATIONALE
Natgasoline's B3 corporate family rating is supported by the
world-scale methanol production facility with access to low-cost
natural gas, placing it on the lower end of the global cost curve
when it runs consistently. The rating is also supported by improved
operating performance in 2025 as the plant's on-stream rate ranged
between 97% and 98% in the first nine months of the year after the
inlet failure and fire in September 2024 that caused unplanned
downtime for about 2.5 months. Moody's views the change in
ownership also as credit positive. Methanex Corporation (Ba2,
stable) which acquired a 50% stake in Natgasoline in June 2025 from
OCI N.V. (unrated), has extensive expertise in operating methanol
plants. Under the existing agreements, Methanex and another
shareholder Proman USA that operates through Consolidated Energy
Limited (Caa1, positive) provide offtake and marketing
responsibilities and are obligated to purchase all Natgasoline's
production volumes at a discount to market-based US contract prices
and to sell the offtake into the regional and global methanol
markets. This eliminates sales volume risk, but earnings still
depend on volatile methanol prices and gas costs.
The rating is constrained by the company's small scale as measured
by revenue, limited operational and product diversity with a single
site location along the Gulf Coast and a track record of
operational challenges that prevented the company from running at
full capacity and generating consistent earnings and cash flow.
Leverage has fluctuated between 4.3x and 24.9x in the last five
years as the company's performance was affected by operational
difficulties and volatile pricing for methanol, its single product,
and natural gas prices, its main raw material. Moody's adjusted
debt/EBITDA stood at 7.3x in the twelve months ended September 2025
and is projected to decline to about 6.0x in 2025, excluding
insurance proceeds to cover business interruption and repairs. This
assumes average methanol prices of $290/ton in 2025 and 96%
utilization rate. At low prices of $250/ton and similarly high
utilization rate leverage would rise again to over 10x and interest
coverage would fall below 1.5x. If the company can operate the
plant at nameplate capacity it generates strong free cash flow at
mid-cycle methanol prices of $350/ton. However, methanol prices are
very volatile and currently are below the mid-cycle long-term
average, which would impact the company's performance and
liquidity.
The company needs to continue to demonstrate high on-stream rates
to build a track record of consistent performance. In addition, the
company needs to resolve its violations under the air permit from
the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for which it
has accrued $10 million in the third quarter of 2025. The company
was fined $830,574 by the TCEQ for previous violations during the
2019-2021 period for exceeding permitted NOx emissions, failure to
test equipment on schedule and submitting inaccurate reports. The
company also needs to address its upcoming maturities in a timely
manner.
Moody's expects Natgasoline to have adequate liquidity under
Moody's operating assumptions in 2026. The company had a cash
balance of $60.5 million at the end of September 2025, including
$30 million in restricted cash. The $60 million revolver due in
2028 is undrawn. The revolver has a maximum first lien net leverage
covenant of 3.5x. The company would not be in compliance with the
covenant and therefore cannot have any revolver balance outstanding
at the end of each quarter. This limits its liquidity and the
company has to rely on cash on hand and earnings to pay off
approximately $43 million in revenue bonds in 2026 and $48 million
of revenue bonds that mature in 2027, part of $336 million of
revenue bonds with final maturity in 2031. The $525 million term
loan is due in 2030 and has annual amortization payments of $5.25
million. The company needs to either refinance the revenue bonds or
operate consistently to generate strong cash flow to be able to
make revenue bond amortization payments.
The stable outlook reflects the plant's improved operating
performance.
FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS
-- Moody's could upgrade the rating if the company improves its
financial policy, including refinancing debt in timely manner.
Moody's could also upgrade the rating if the company reduces
balance sheet debt and credit metrics improve with debt/EBITDA
declining below 5x.
-- Moody's could downgrade the rating if liquidity deteriorates.
Moody's could also downgrade the rating if debt/EBITDA remains
above 6.0x, EBITDA to interest is below 1.5x and free cash flow is
consistently negative.
Natgasoline LLC, headquartered in Delaware, is a leading producer
of methanol, jointly owned by Methanex Corporation (50%, Ba2,
stable) and Proman USA through Consolidated Energy Limited (50%,
Caa1, positive). Natgasoline's sole product is methanol, an
intermediate product used in the manufacture of formaldehyde,
acetic acid, methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE, a gasoline
oxygenate no longer used in the US), and as a fuel additive, fuel
alternative, and feedstock to MTO facilities in China. The company
generated sales of $395 million in the twelve months ended
September 2025.
The principal methodology used in these ratings was Chemicals
published in February 2026.
The net effect of any adjustments applied to rating factor scores

NEW HOPE: Moody's Affirms B3 Rating on 2020A&B Housing Bonds
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Ratings has affirmed the B3 ratings on New Hope Cultural
Education Facilities Finance Corporation's (TX) $34,530,000
outstanding Student Housing Revenue Bonds (NCCD - Brenham
Properties LLC - Blinn College Project), Series 2020A and $615,000
outstanding Taxable Student Housing Revenue Bonds (NCCD - Brenham
Properties LLC - Blinn College Project), Series 2020B (collectively
the "Bonds"). The outlook was revised to stable from negative.
The revision to a stable outlook reflects steadied occupancy and
modest enrollment growth, which together indicate that the project
has established a more constant operating baseline.
RATINGS RATIONALE
Financial performance at NCCD-Brenham Properties, LLC remains weak,
reflecting ongoing enrollment challenges at Brenham campus of Blinn
College (A1, stable). Occupancy continues to exhibit pronounced
seasonality, improving to approximately 85% in the Fall 2025
semester before declining to about 66% in the spring. While this
seasonal softness persists, average occupancy across the fall and
spring semesters has stabilized in FY2025 and FY2026 to
approximately 75%, supported in part by modest improvement in
overall college enrollment, which increased by 1% in FY2026.
Nevertheless, absent continued expense subordination by management,
current revenues are expected to only narrowly cover annual debt
service in FY2026. Moody's projects that, under current operating
trends, debt service coverage will decline to approximately 0.94x
in FY2027, increasing the likelihood of continued draws on the debt
service reserve fund.
RATING OUTLOOK
The stable outlook reflects stabilization in the project's
occupancy trends, albeit at a very low level, with annual occupancy
averaging approximately 75% year over year. Overall college
enrollment increased by 1% in FY 2026, providing modest but
positive support for housing demand. Together, consistent occupancy
levels and improving enrollment indicate that the project has
established a more stable operating baseline. However, the B3
rating captures that there might be some volatility in operating
performance going forward but Moody's do not anticipate a material
depletion of the debt service reserve fund (DSRF) in the nearterm.
FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OF THE RATINGS
-- Sustained enrollment and occupancy growth and/or financial
support from the College that positively impacts debt service
coverage to above 1.1x
FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO A DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS
-- Significant taps to the debt service reserve fund
-- Prolonged sub-par occupancy and rent levels below prior years
PROFILE
The Obligor and Owner, NCCD - Brenham Properties LLC, is a single
member limited liability company organized and existing under the
laws of the State of Texas for the purpose of developing and
financing certain facilities for the benefit of Blinn College. The
sole member of the Obligor is National Campus Community Development
Corporation, a 501(c)(3) Texas non-profit corporation.

NEW PIPE PLUMBING: Gets Interim OK to Use Cash Collateral
---------------------------------------------------------
New Pipe Plumbing, Inc. received interim approval from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida, Miami
Division, to use cash collateral.
The court authorized the Debtor to use cash collateral through
March 23 to fund operations in accordance with its budget.
The Debtor intends to use cash collateral to meet current operating

a U.S. Small Business Administration loan, has asserted a security
interest in substantially all of the Debtor's money and cash assets
through a UCC-1 financing statement filed in Florida. The Debtor
lists the claim amount at approximately $101,230.

forward financially stronger, better positioned for future growth,"
said Ann Fox, President and Chief Executive Officer, Nine Energy

NINE ENERGY: Court Confirms Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan
-------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Christopher Lopez of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of Texas approved the Disclosure Statement and
confirmed the Amended Joint Prepackaged Plan of Reorganization of
Nine Energy Service, Inc. and its debtor-affiliates.
The Disclosure Statement contains (a) sufficient information of a
kind necessary to satisfy the disclosure requirements of all
applicable non-bankruptcy laws, rules, and regulations, including
the Securities Act, and (b) "adequate information" (as such term is
defined in section 1125(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and used in
section 1126(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code) with respect to the
Debtors, the Plan, and the transactions contemplated therein. The
Filing of the Disclosure Statement with the Bankruptcy Court
satisfied Bankruptcy Rule 3016(b). The Debtors’ use of the
Disclosure Statement in solicitation of acceptances of the Plan is
approved and the Disclosure Statement is approved on a final basis
pursuant to this Confirmation Order.
Class 4 (Senior Secured Notes Claims) is the only class of claims
entitled under the Plan to vote to accept or reject the Plan (the
"Voting Class").
The ballots the Debtors used to solicit votes to accept or reject
the Plan from Holders of Claims in the Voting Class (the "Ballots")
adequately addressed the particular needs of these Chapter 11 Cases
and were appropriate for Holders of Claims in the Voting Class to
vote to accept or reject the Plan.
Under section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, Holders of Claims in
Class 1 (Other Secured Claims), Class 2 (Other Priority Claims),
Class 3 (Prepetition ABL Claims), and Class 5 (General Unsecured
Claims) (collectively, the "Unimpaired Classes") are Unimpaired and
conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan. The Debtors were
not required to solicit votes from the Holders of Claims and
Interests in Class 8 (Nine Energy Equity Interests) and Class 9
(Section 510(b) Claims) (collectively, the "Deemed Rejecting
Classes"), which were Impaired and deemed to reject the Plan under
the Bankruptcy Code. Holders of Claims and Interests in Class 6
(Intercompany Claims) and Class 7 (Intercompany Interests) (such
Classes together with the Unimpaired Classes and the Deemed
Rejecting Classes, the "Non-Voting Classes") are Unimpaired and
conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan (to the extent
Reinstated) or are Impaired and deemed to reject the Plan (to the
extent canceled), and, in either event, are not entitled to vote to
accept or reject the Plan. No further notice shall be required for
Holders of Claims and Interests in Non-Voting Classes.
The Plan is approved in its entirety and confirmed under section
1129 of the Bankruptcy Code
To the extent that any objections (including any reservations of
rights, joinders, or statements contained therein) pertaining to
the final approval of the Disclosure Statement or Confirmation of
the Plan that have not been withdrawn, waived, or settled before
entry of this Confirmation Order, are not cured by the relief
granted in this Confirmation Order, or have not otherwise been
resolved as stated on the record at the Combined Hearing, all such
objections (including any reservation of rights, joinders, or
statements contained therein), are overruled in their entirety and
denied on the merits.

OAKTREE OCALA: Seeks 45-Day Extension of Plan Filing Deadline
-------------------------------------------------------------
Oaktree Ocala JV, LLC and ASAP Highline Ocala, LLC asked the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York to extend
their exclusivity periods to file a plan of reorganization and
obtain acceptance thereof for additional 45 days.
On January 26, the Debtors timely filed their Joint Plan of
Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and
Disclosure Statement for Debtors' Chapter 11 Plan. The Debtors
request an extension of the Exclusivity Periods to continue working
toward their goal of confirming the Plan. CPIF MRA, LLC has
consented to such extension.
As the Debtors continue to seek confirmation of the Plan, the
companies seek a further extension of the Exclusivity Periods so
the current Plan, as may be amended, can be confirmed.
In the six months that Debtors have been in chapter 11, the
companies continue to comply with all the requirements under the
Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules, and the U.S. Trustee Guidelines.
Schedules and Statement of Financial Affairs were timely filed, and
an order setting a claims bar date was entered. Debtors continue to
use cash collateral with CPIF's consent, Debtors' bills are paid
when due, and monthly operating reports are timely filed.
Moreover, the Debtors are not seeking to extend the Exclusivity
Periods to pressure creditors to submit to their demands. On the
contrary, Debtors are seeking the extension to address and resolve
open issues with parties consensually.
Thus, extending the Exclusivity Periods will permit Debtors to
confirm the Plan that benefits all creditors and interest holders,
so competing plans do not derail the Debtors' plan process.

OCEANWIDE PLAZA: Claims to be Paid from Property Sale Proceeds
--------------------------------------------------------------
Oceanwide Plaza LLC, filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Central District of California a Combined Disclosure Statement and
Plan of Liquidation dated February 23, 2026.
The Debtor, a Los Angeles based real estate developer, is an
American subsidiary of a global Chinese conglomerate. Oceanwide
Real Estate Group (USA) Corp., a Delaware corporation ("OREG"), is
Debtor’s sole member and its manager.
The Debtor owns Oceanwide Plaza (the "Project"), an approximately
60-percent complete mixed-use development project in downtown Los
Angeles situated on the Real Property. For context, prior to the
Petition Date, Debtor largely self-funded Project construction.
However, for short-term needs, LADI provided Debtor with up to $325
million in construction financing. In 2016, after a bidding
process, Debtor hired Lendlease as its general contractor to
construct the Project and Lendlease then hired over forty
subcontractors.
The State Court Action commenced in 2019 and involved disputes
regarding the validity, priority, and amounts of various claims
against the Project. After months of settlement negotiations, the
parties reached the Global Settlement Agreement. As part of the
Global Settlement Agreement, the state court entered the agreed
final judgment on January 29, 2026. This multi-year, multi-phase
litigation was consuming substantial estate resources and
preventing the sale of the Real Property, ultimately leading the
parties to negotiate the comprehensive Global Settlement Agreement,
which was approved by this Court on February 3, 2026.
The sale of the Real Property is crucial to the Consummation of the
Plan and represents the fastest path to completing construction of
the Project in time for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games. During
the course of this Chapter 11 Case, Debtor has undertaken extensive
efforts to market and sell the Real Property. Debtor believes that
a sale of the Real Property through bankruptcy is the best, and
perhaps only, way to maximize the Real Property's value and provide
creditor recoveries.
On February 16, 2026, Debtor and Purchaser, KPC Square, LLC,
entered into the PSA which provides, among other things, that
Purchaser will acquire the PSA Property for consideration of
$470,000,000.00, consisting of (i) the Credit Bid Consideration of
approximately $400,000,000.00, comprised of a credit bid of the
LADI Secured Claim and LL Secured Claims made in full satisfaction
of such Claims pursuant to Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code,
and (ii) the Cash Consideration of up to $70,000,000.00.
The Debtor seeks approval of the Sale to Purchaser as set forth in
this Plan and pursuant to the Confirmation Order, which shall
constitute the Sale Order as defined in the PSA. The closing of the
Sale of the PSA Property shall occur on the Closing Date, which
shall occur after entry of the Confirmation Order and prior to the
Effective Date. The PSA provides for potential extensions of the
Closing Date under certain circumstances. Following the closing of
the Sale on the Closing Date, the Sale Proceeds shall be used by
Debtor and, on and after the Effective Date, the Liquidating
Trustee, to satisfy Claims as further set forth herein.
Class 6 consists of General Unsecured Claims. The Debtor believes
that there are approximately $161,018,015 in asserted General
Unsecured Claims, excluding Intercompany Loan Claims, against the
Estate. The ultimate recovery of Holders of General Unsecured
Claims will depend on the Sale Proceeds generated by the Sale
including an Alternative Transaction.
Except to the extent that a Holder of a General Unsecured Claim
agrees to less favorable treatment, in full and final satisfaction,
compromise, settlement, and release of and in exchange for each
General Unsecured Claim, each Holder thereof shall be paid in Cash
from the Sale Proceeds and/or Plan Administration Assets to the
extent available, equal to such Holder's Pro-Rata Share up to the
full amount of the unpaid portion of such General Unsecured Claim
on or as soon as reasonably practicable after, the later of: (A)
the Initial Distribution Date; (B) the date calculated pursuant to
the Disputed Creditor Reserve Treatment, if applicable; (C) such
date provided for in the Liquidating Trust Agreement, or (D) as
otherwise ordered by the Court.
Class 6 is Impaired and entitled to vote to accept or reject the
Plan.
The sources of the payments to be made by the Liquidating Trustee
under the Plan will be from (i) the Sale Proceeds; (ii) Plan
Administration Assets; and (iii) Cash on hand, collectively, less
the Post Confirmation Reserve.
The Debtor asserts that it will be able to pay its Administrative
Claims, Priority Tax Claims, Professional Fee Claims, Statutory
Fees, GAP Claims, Class 1 Secured Tax Claims and Class 5 Other
Priority Claims from the Sale Proceeds received if the Sale
contemplated by the PSA is consummated, and compromise in full
Classes 2 and 3 as a consequence of such Sale. The waterfall
distribution to each Class will change depending on the final
amount of Sale Proceeds received.

dated February 23, 2026 is available at

OLIVER PARK: Unsecureds to Split $204K via Quarterly Payments
-------------------------------------------------------------
Oliver Park Apartments, LLC filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Northern District of Georgia a Disclosure Statement for
Plan of Reorganization dated February 24, 2026.
The Debtor owns a 34-unit apartment complex located 740 Cooper
Street, SW, Atlanta, Georgia (the "Property"). The Debtor's sole
member and the manager of the Debtor is Ms. Olivia Chevannes.
The Debtor purchased the Property in 2019, renovated all 14 units,
and then on March 24, 2021 refinanced with the predecessor to the
current secured lender, who assigned the note to the current
secured lender, U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee for the
registered holders of J.P. Morgan Chase Commercial Mortgage
Securities Corp., Multifamily Mortgage Pass-through Certificates,
Series 2021-SB87 ("US Bank") on the same date.
After the refinance, a major water leak destroyed half of the
units, and the Debtor had to renovate those units all over again.
The Debtor was unable to keep up with its debt service payments
during the repairs after the leak. The Debtor was in the final
stages of a forbearance agreement with the prior servicer for US
Bank when a new servicer became involved and the Debtor received a
foreclosure notice for the Property.
Over the course of this case, the Debtor has also continued to run
the business. The Property is managed by a third-party insider
management company, OC Management, LLC. The sole member of the
Debtor, Olivia Chevannes, is an owner of OC Management. OC
Management has not been compensated post-petition and will continue
to provide its services to the Debtor without compensation
post-confirmation.
Because OC Management provides services to the Debtor without
compensation, the Debtor has minimal operating expenses. The Debtor
continues to work to lease up the Property. Ms. Chevannes and her
husband, Val Oliver, have committed to contributing a lump sum to
the Debtor to fund the initial payments that come due under the
Plan until the Property is at full occupancy.
The Debtor estimates, based on its schedules and proofs of claims
that have been filed, that there will be approximately $392,211.79
in allowed general unsecured claims, excluding any claims of
insiders. The Debtor proposes to pay General Unsecured Creditors a
total of $203,860.00 on a pro rata basis in equal quarterly
payments of $10,193.00 over 20 quarters.
On the Effective Date of the Plan, Ms. Chevannes will be the sole
owner of the Debtor. She will retain her membership interest in the
Debtor as of the Effective Date. Ms. Chevannes has not received any
income or distributions from the Debtor post-petition. The
Reorganized Debtor will not make any distributions or pay any
dividends related to any Equity Interests unless and until all
distributions related to all Allowed Claims in Classes 1-4 have
been made in full as set forth herein.
The cash distributions contemplated by the Plan shall be funded by
cash generated from the operation of the Property as well as the
capital contribution from Ms. Chevannes and her husband, Val
Oliver. The capital contribution will fund the payments under the
Plan until the Property is self-sustaining. Ms. Chevannes and Mr.
Oliver will continue to make capital contributions as needed.

-------------------------------------------------------
Newmark on behalf of TCM CRE REIT LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (the "Secured Party"), will offer for sale at public
auction on April 23, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. EDT in connection with a
Uniform Commercial Code sale, 100% of the limited liability company
membership interests (the "Interests") in and to ONYX SWNG TIC 1
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and ONYX SWING TIC 2 LLC
a Delaware limited liability company (individually and
collectively, the Mortgage Borrower) which Mortgage Borrower is the
sole fee simple title owner of the property located at 10300 S.
Wilcrest Drive in Houston, Texas (the "Property"). The Interests
are owned by ONYX SWING LLC, a Delaware limited liability company,
having its principal place of business at 7600 Renwick Drive,
Houston, Texas (the "Debtor"). The sale will be conducted virtually
via online video conference and/or, at Secured Party sole option,
in-person in the offices of Sills, Cummis & Gross, P.C., 101 Park
Avenue, 28th Floor, New York, New York 10178. The URL address and
password for the online video conference will be provided to all
confirmed participants that have properly registered pursuant to
the Terms of Sale.
The Debtor has granted to the Secured Party a first priority lien
on and security interest in the Interests pursuant to that certain
Pledge and Security Agreement dated as of December 1, 2021. The
Secured Party is offering the Interests for sale in connection with
the foreclosure on the pledge of such interests.
There are specific requirements for any potential successful bidder
in connection with obtaining information and bidding on the
Interests, including but not limited to, (1) that each bidder must
comply with the restrictions applicable to the sale of the
Interests under the Intercreditor Agreement dated as of December 1,
2021 by and between the Secured Party and the holder of the
mortgage encumbering the Property (the "Intercreditor Agreement"),
including that such bidder is a "Qualified Transferee" (as defined
in the Intercreditor Agreement), or has obtained the consent of the
holder of the Senior Loan or will repay the Senior Loan prior to
the sale of the Interests, (2) that each bidder must deliver such
documents and pay such amounts as required by the Intercreditor
Agreement and the applicable governing documents relating to the
Interests, and (3) that the successful bidder shall pay no later
than twenty-four (24) hours after the conclusion of scheduled
public auction, a non-refundable deposit in an amount equal to
twenty percent (20%) of the bid amount pursuant to wire
instructions provided by Secured Party or Newmark. Parties who do
not satisfy to bid in accordance with the terms hereof and the
Terms of Sale will forfeit their opportunity to register and may be
banned from bidding.
The Interests are being offered as a single lot, "as-is, where-is",
with no express or implied warranties representations, statements
or conditions of any kind made by the Secured Party or any person
acting for or on behalf of the Secured Party, without any recourse
whatsoever to the Secured Party or any other person acting for or
on behalf of the Secured Party and each bidder must make own
inquiry regarding the Interests. The winning bidder shall be
responsible for the payment of all transfer taxes, stamp duties and
similar taxes incurred in connection with the purchase of the
Interests.
The Secured Party reserves the right to credit bid, set a minimum
reserve price, reject all bids (including without limitation any
bid that it deems to have been made by a bidder that is unable to
satisfy the requirements imposed by the Secured Party upon
prospective bidders in connection with the sale or to whom in the
Secured Party's sole Judgment a sale may not lawfully be made) and
terminate or adjourn the sale to another time, without further
notice. The Secured Party further reserves the right to restrict
prospective bidders to those who will represent that they are
purchasing the Interests for their own account for investment not
with a view to the distribution or resale of such interests, to
verify that each certificate for the Interests to be sold bears a
legend substantially to the effect that such Interests have not
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), and may not be disposed of in violation of the
provisions of the Securities Act and to impose such other
limitations or conditions in connection with the sale of the
Interests as the Secured Party deems necessary or advisable in
order to comply with the Securities Act or any other applicable
law.
All bids (other than credit bids of the Secured Party) must be for
cash, and the successful bidder must be prepared to deliver the
entire balance payable in immediately available good funds within
five (5) business days after the conclusion of the auction and
otherwise comply with the bidding requirements. Further information

PAPA JOHN'S: S&P Alters Outlook to Negative, Affirms 'BB-' ICR
--------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings revised its outlook to negative from stable and
affirmed the 'BB-' long-term issuer credit rating on Papa John's
International Inc.
The negative outlook reflects elevated risk to S&P's base case over
the next 12 months and the potential for adjusted debt to EBITDA to
remain above 4x, likely from worse-than-expected performance of
marketing and product innovation and elevated expenses to further
support the turnaround.
Papa John's 2025 credit metrics came in below expectations. S&P now
expects results to weaken further in 2026 due to restaurant
closures, anticipated low-single-digit percent comparable sales
declines, and elevated restructuring expenses.
At the same time, Papa John's continues to invest in marketing and
executing corporate-level and supply-chain cost-savings
initiatives, and S&P thinks results will improve in the back half
of 2026 and into 2027.
S&P said, "We now forecast S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage of
about 4.5x with S&P Global Ratings-adjusted free operating cash
flow (FOCF) to debt of 6%-6.5% in 2026, which is elevated relative
to our current downside trigger of leverage sustained above 4x.
In 2027, we expect leverage to improve to high-3x in 2027, but
risks could arise from a challenging consumer environment and
intensely competitive pizza subsector.
"Leverage may remain elevated beyond 2026. We expect leverage to be
around 4.5x in 2026, reflecting comparable sales declines, store
closures within its North American system, and elevated costs
related to marketing and restructuring. However, we believe most of
the costs related to supplemental marketing and restructuring fees
will not be carried into 2027, improving margins and helping
deleverage to high-3x. We also expect S&P Global Ratings-adjusted
EBITDA interest coverage of 4.5x and 5.2x in 2026 and 2027
respectively, consistent with the 'BB-' rating.
"We also expect traffic to stabilize somewhat, with 2026
representing a trough year and a return to flat to slightly
positive overall comparable sales growth in 2027." This modest
improvement will stem from more product innovation and multiple
years of elevated advertising density to reinvigorate the brand and
value perception.
That said, Papa John's may find difficulty stabilizing guest
traffic and maintaining market share if competitors--specifically
Domino's with its much broader scale--can offer consistently better
value and afford to advertise more aggressively. This dynamic could
mitigate Papa John's efforts to drive higher visit frequency,
likely leading to additional investments to maintain franchisee
profitability and build brand reputation, including supplemental
advertising spending. If Papa John's is unable to stabilize visit
volumes or costs related to its rebuild expenses persist beyond our
current expectations leverage and credit metrics could remain
pressured beyond 2026. S&P also thinks if operating results are
below expectations, it may be more challenging to refranchise
restaurants, and therefore Papa John's would have less ability to
repay debt and reduce leverage.
S&P said, "We expect store closures and refranchising to drive
corporate revenue declines over the next two years, albeit with
stabilizing comparable sales. Papa John's has announced its plan to
close 300 locations in North America, representing roughly 8% of
its North American system. We expect the vast majority of these
closures will be franchisee-owned and represent locations with low
average unit volumes (AUV) compared to the broader system (roughly
averaging $600,000 vs North American franchisee-system average of
about $1.1 million in 2025).
"At the same time, we anticipate a challenging operating
environment in 2026 driven by competitive activity as quick-service
restaurant players rely on value messaging and discounts to attract
customers. This is amid weaker consumer sentiment as macro
challenges and inflationary pressures lower visit frequency,
reducing the size of the available market. While we expect efforts
around its loyalty program and continued solid performance in its
international segment to partially offset these headings, we expect
Papa John's revenue to come down 4%-5% in 2026.
"Roughly two thirds of the announced store closures will occur in
2026, with remainder in 2027. We also expect continued
refranchising activity, as Papa John's works toward reaching
mid-single digit percent company-owned locations, will also burden
overall top-line growth. However, we anticipate Papa John's will
focus on new customer growth, its loyalty program, and marketing
efforts, supporting a return to positive comparable sales in 2027
of flat to slightly positive."
S&P Global Ratings-adjusted EBITDA margins of high-11% will be
largely flat in 2026 before improving to around 13% in 2027.
Through 2025, Papa John's invested about $25 million in
supplemental marketing and franchisee subsidies, and it will
largely do so again in 2026. The investment is meant to support its
current menu innovation pipeline while maintaining franchisee
profitability. This cost should fall off in 2027 as its franchisees
and company-owned locations opt-in to marketing co-ops, helping to
fund a unified marketing program with less aid from the corporate
level. While S&P expects the marketing co-op to impact
company-owned margins initially, identified cost savings around its
supply chain and procurement should help to offset this impact.
S&P said, "Secondly, while we expect the company to benefit from
cost savings in its corporate cost structure, we anticipate related
restructuring costs around severance and third-party consultant
fees will offset the benefit in 2026. That said, we anticipate the
majority of the costs associated with these savings will be accrued
in 2026, leading to margin accretion in 2027. As a result, we
believe S&P Global Ratings-adjusted margins will remain under
pressure in 2026 before improving to around 13% in 2027.
"The negative outlook reflects elevated risk to our base case over
the next 12 months and the potential for adjusted debt to EBITDA to
remain above 4x. We believe leverage could remain high if costs
remain elevated beyond 2026 or Papa John's operating environment is
stressed for an extended period, limiting top-line growth and
weakening profitability at franchisees and company-owned
locations.
"We could lower our rating on Papa John's if S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted leverage sustains above 4x or S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted FOCF to debt sustains below 10%." This could occur
if:
-- S&P no longer expect profitability to improve in 2027;
-- The company is unable to improve comparable sales growth; or
-- Its capital allocation strategy increases reported balance
sheet debt.
S&P could revise the outlook on Papa John's to stable if it expects
it to maintain leverage below 4.0x and S&P expects the company to
improve cash flow and sustain S&P Global Ratings-adjusted FOCF to
debt above 10%. This could occur if:
-- The company improves margins at least in line with our
base-case while also stabilizing guest traffic, leading to
comparable sales growth; and
-- Its financial policy supports and maintains lower leverage.

POOLE FUNERAL: Updates Unsecured Claims Pay Details
---------------------------------------------------
Poole Funeral Home Real Estate, LLC and its affiliates submitted a
First Amended Disclosure Statement regarding Joint Chapter 11 Plan
of Liquidation dated February 25, 2026.
The primary purpose of the Plan is to effectuate the completion of
the orderly wind down of the Debtor's affairs. Pursuant to the
Plan, the Debtor contemplates the Distribution of (i) the proceeds
from the Sale, (ii) Cash, and (iii) other Assets of the Estate for
the benefit of holders of Eligible Claims pursuant to the Plan and
the Bankruptcy Code's priority distribution requirements.
Under the Plan, Claims against, and Interests in, the Debtor are
divided into four Classes. Certain Claims, including Administrative
Claims and Priority Tax Claims, are not classified and, if not paid
prior, will receive payment in full in Cash on the later of the
Effective Date or the first Business Day after the date that is
thirty days after the date on which such Administrative Claim
becomes an Allowed Administrative Claim, or as otherwise agreed to
by the holder of such Claim.
Class 4 consists of General Unsecured Claims. The allowed unsecured
claims total $439,537.89. General Unsecured Claims consist of any
Claim that is not an Administrative Claim, a Professional Fee
Claim, or a Priority Tax Claim. Holders of Claims in Class 4 are
Impaired. Each holder of a General Unsecured Claim is not
conclusively presumed to accept the Plan under section 1126(f) of
the Bankruptcy Code and is therefore entitled to vote to accept or
reject the Plan in its capacity as a holder of such Claim.
Provided that the holder of a Class 4 Claim has not yet been paid,
on the later of (i) the Effective Date and (ii) for Claims in Class
4 that were Disputed Claims on the Effective Date and have
thereafter become Allowed General Unsecured Claims, immediately
following the Distribution Date subsequent to the date upon which
such Claims became Allowed General Unsecured Claims, or as soon
thereafter as is practicable, holders of each such Allowed General
Unsecured Claim shall receive (a) a Pro Rata share of the General
Unsecured Creditor Interests and/or Cash in an amount not to exceed
the amount of such Allowed General Unsecured Claim, or (b) such
other treatment as may be agreed upon by the Plan Administrator and
the holder of such Allowed General Unsecured Claim. In short, to
the extent there are additional funds available for distribution
after distributing funds to Class 1, those funds shall be
distributed to the other classes of claims.
The Plan shall be funded from the Sale Proceeds, Cash, and any
other Assets of the Estate, except as expressly set forth in the
Plan.
The Debtor proposes that a qualified professional shall be
appointed as the Plan Administrator. The Plan Administrator shall
be deemed the Estate's sole representative in accordance with
section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code and shall have all powers,
authority, and responsibilities specified in the Plan, including,
without limitation, the powers of a trustee under sections 704 and
1106 of the Bankruptcy Code.

2025, listing up to $10 million in both assets and liabilities.

RENEWAL REALTY: Unsecured Creditors to be Paid in Full
------------------------------------------------------
Renewal Realty, LLC filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Western District of Texas a Disclosure Statement in support of
Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization dated February 24, 2026.
The Debtor owns and operates an apartment complex, commonly known
as the "Paddocks Apartments," in Odessa, Texas. The Debtor is
managed by Pacifica Realty Corporation. Gregory Walden serves as
president of Pacifica and makes all decisions regarding the
Debtor's business.
The purchase of the apartment complex was financed through a series
of loans from Unify Financial Federal Credit Union n/k/a
CommunityAmerica Federal Credit Union, as Lender, to the Series
LLCs, as Borrowers, which are secured by properly perfected
deed-of-trust liens on the Real Property and the rents and other
proceeds thereof.
This Bankruptcy Case was necessitated by the downturn of market
conditions, which resulted in the Debtor being unable to pay the
secured loan, obtain replacement financing, obtain an extension of
the maturity date from Unify, or find a buyer at or before
maturity. In order to protect the Debtor's equity in the Real
Property and prevent Unify from completing a scheduled non judicial
foreclosure, the Debtor initiated the Bankruptcy Case.
Unify asserts a Secured Claim in the total amount of $4,101,500.00.
Unsecured creditors have claims totaling $181,025.65, of which
$149,604.58 is comprised of the Insider Claims of the Members for
pre-petition loans to the Debtor and $14,891.80 of which
constitutes the disputed, unliquidated Claim of Sunridge. Excluding
the Members and Sunridge, nearly all of the other unsecured
creditors have already been paid in full pursuant to the Bankruptcy
Court's order authorizing payment to critical vendors for
pre-petition debts entered on January 4, 2026.
The Debtor filed the Plan on February 4, 2026 to reorganize and
restructure its debts. In summary, the holder of Unify's Allowed
Secured Claim will take substantially all of the Debtor's property,
other than its Cash or Cash equivalents, in full satisfaction of
its claim. Any Allowed General Unsecured Claims that have not
already been paid will be paid in Cash in full. The Debtor's
Counsel will be paid in accordance with the Engagement Confirmation
Agreement executed by the Debtor and the Limited Guaranty Agreement
executed by the Members. Any payments required under the Plan that
are not funded with property of the Estate shall be funded by the
Members.
Class 2 consists of Allowed General Unsecured Claims. Within five
business days of the Effective Date, or, if later, within five
business days of the entry of any Final Order approving such
Claims, each holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim on such
date shall be paid its Allowed Claim in full in Cash. With respect
to Allowed General Unsecured Claims arising from the rejection of
leases or executory contracts, the holders of such Claims shall be
paid within five business days of their Claims becoming Allowed.
Allowed Claims in Class 2 are unimpaired and therefore not entitled
to vote to accept or reject the Plan.
Class 4 consists of Allowed PrePetition Membership Interests. Each
holder of a Pre-Petition Membership Interest in the Debtor shall
retain its membership interest, which shall be converted to an
equivalent membership interest in the Reorganized Debtor. The
holders of the Allowed Claims in Class 4 are impaired and therefore
entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.
On or before the Effective Date, the Members shall fund the General
Unsecured Claim Account in an amount sufficient to pay all Allowed
General Unsecured Claims in full. The funds in the General
Unsecured Claim Account shall be held in trust for the benefit of
the holders Allowed General Unsecured Claims, and shall be used by
the Reorganized Debtor to pay Allowed General Unsecured Claims in
accordance with this Plan.
The Plan contemplates that all Claims of creditors will be paid in
full. In the case of the Allowed Secured Claim, it will be fully
satisfied through the transfer of the Real Property and the Non
Cash Personal Property. All other Allowed Claims will be paid in
full through the Member Plan Payments. Accordingly, confirmation is
not likely to be followed by the liquidation or the need for
further financial reorganization of the Reorganized Debtor.

SCV GRAPHIC: Unsecured Creditors Will Get 10% of Claims in Plan
---------------------------------------------------------------
SCV Graphic Productions, Inc. filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Northern District of Georgia a Disclosure Statement
describing Chapter 11 Plan dated February 23, 2026.
The Debtor is a graphic design and production company that has
operated since 2007 with locations in metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia
and metropolitan Los Angeles, California.
SCV specializes in designing and producing realistic graphics,
sculptures, and architectural elements used to simulate real-world
environments for film, television, and experiential installations.
Historically, SCV primarily served the entertainment industry by
creating set environments and large-scale visual production
elements.
The Debtor's work in the film industry has experienced recent
gains, as has its expansion into other segments. SCV recently
provided graphical environments for Adidas at the Super Bowl and
provided similar work for the Academy Awards. While operations have
stabilized, the Debtor's balance sheet continues to reflect legacy
debt obligations incurred during prior growth phases. The Debtor
determined that restructuring under Chapter 11 was necessary to
reorganize these obligations, preserve going-concern value, and
allow the business to continue operating.
Over the course of this case, the Debtor has maintained its
operations, filed this Plan, and seeks to move forward toward Court
approval, after which it will begin repaying a portion of its debts
pursuant to the terms outlined in the Plan.
The distributions contemplated by the Plan shall be funded by the
available Cash on hand the Debtor's Projected Disposable Income as
illustrated by Exhibit A annexed hereto, as well as the sale of the
Atlanta operation. Starting on the Confirmation Date, the Debtor
will make monthly payments to the Disbursing Agent, who will make
quarterly disbursements to creditors according to the Plan. The
first quarterly disbursement will be made by the Disbursing Agent
approximately 60 days after the Effective Date of the Plan.
Class 15 consists of General Unsecured Creditors. The Debtor
estimates, based on its schedules and proofs of claims that have
been filed that there will be approximately $3,416,237.81 in
Allowed General Unsecured Claims, which accounts for likely claim
objections and assumes that all such objections are unopposed or
sustained. The Debtor proposes to pay approximately 10% of the
amount of all Allowed General Unsecured Claims, in quarterly
installments, beginning on the Initial Distribution Date, of which
Holders of General Unsecured Claims will receive a pro rata share
based on the Allowed amount of their Claim.
The amount of such distributions will be based on the Projected
Available Income available for distribution (after payment of
distributions to Holders of Convenience Class Claims), of which
100% will be paid to Holders of allowed Professional Claims and
other Administrative Expenses until such claims are paid in full,
at which time 100% of the Debtor's Projected Disposable income will
be paid to Holders of General Unsecured Claims until such time that
approximately 10% of the Allowed amount of such claims have been
paid, subject to any variance in the Debtor's projected disposable
income.
Class 16 consists of Convenience Class Claims. The Debtor
estimates, based on its schedules and proofs of claims that have
been filed, that there will be approximately $6,400.83 in Allowed
Convenience Class Claims. The Debtor proposes to pay Holders of
Convenience Class Claims 100% of the Allowed amount of such claims
on the Initial Distribution Date.
Class 17 consists of all equity interests in the Debtor. Existing
equity will be retained solely to effectuate the reorganization of
the Debtor and continue operations; equity will receive no
distributions on account of equity unless and until all allowed
claims entitled to payment under the Plan are paid in full. Any
post-Effective Date compensation to the principal is for services
rendered in the ordinary course and is not a distribution on
account of equity.

of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. M.D. Fla. Case No. 26-00730) on
February 23, 2026, with $100,001 to $500,000 in assets and $500,001
to $1 million in liabilities.

STANDARD FREIGHT: Seeks to Use Cash Collateral
----------------------------------------------
Standard Freight Logistics, Inc. asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Middle District of Florida, Jacksonville Division, for
authority to use cash collateral and provide adequate protection.
Prior to the bankruptcy filing, the Debtor executed a Promissory
Note, Chattel Mortgage, and Security Agreement in favor of JW
Capital Source LLC, pledging post-petition accounts receivable,
chattel paper, contracts, documents, cash, and bank accounts as
collateral. The lender filed its initial lien on January 21, 2026,
and the loan is currently delinquent. The pledged
receivables—estimated at approximately $195,000 based on an aging
report of accounts less than 90 days old—constitute property of
the bankruptcy estate under 11 U.S.C. section 541(a)(1) and (6).
The Debtor asserts that the underlying loan may exceed allowable
state and/or federal interest rate limits and, therefore, does not
propose making adequate protection payments to the lender unless
and until the Court determines that the loan is properly secured.
The Debtor contends that access to the cash collateral is essential
to meet post-petition obligations, including payroll, taxes,
inventory, equipment expenses, and general operating costs, and
that without such use, business operations would cease.
As a form of potential adequate protection, the Debtor expresses
willingness to grant the primary secured creditor a continuing
post-petition replacement lien on cash collateral if the lender is
ultimately determined to hold a valid secured claim.

TRIAD EDUCATIONAL: S&P Lowers LT 2026 Revenue Bond Rating to 'BB+'
------------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings lowered its long-term rating to BB+/Stable from
BBB-/Negative on the Public Finance Authority, Wis.' series 2021,
2022, and 2025AB bonds issued for Triad Educational Services Inc.,
N.C., on behalf of Triad Math and Science Academy Co. (TMSA, the
academy, or the school).
At the same time, S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'BB+' long-term
rating to the authority's $75.9 million series 2026 education
revenue bonds issued for Triad Educational Services.
The outlook is stable.
S&P said, "The rating action reflects our view of Triad's
materially increased debt, resulting in an elevated pro forma
maximum annual debt service (MADS) burden, slim pro forma MADS
coverage, and high debt per student, coupled with a light liquidity
position for the current rating.
"We understand that one of the academy's facilities has experienced
moderate groundwater exposure as a result of previous operations
and usages of the property (disclosed from an environmental study
in 2014). This has been resolved through prior groundwater
treatment remediation, which, in our view, mitigates elevated waste
and pollution or other environmental risks. We also view social and
governance factors as neutral in our analysis.
"The stable outlook reflects our expectation that the network's
overall enrollment and demand profile will remain steady, with
growth occurring as anticipated. In addition, we expect liquidity
to be maintained and that--though MADS coverage is expected to
remain slim, indicating the importance for the network to meet
enrollment growth projections--incremental improvement is expected.
While we understand that TMSA plans to continue expansion by adding
facilities over the next two to three years, we have not
incorporated these additional plans into our analysis given a lack
of details.
"We could consider a negative rating action rating should the
network fail to meet enrollment, operating, coverage, or liquidity
projections. In addition, we would view additional increases in
debt negatively.
"While we do not expect to raise the rating during the outlook
period given the school's high debt and liquidity that lags that of
similarly rated peers, we could consider doing so over time if the
network is able to meet enrollment growth projections, including a
successful opening and buildout of its new locations, while posting
positive full-accrual operating performance leading to improved
lease-adjusted MADS coverage and a moderating debt burden with a
growing liquidity position."

"Mauritius Macro Fund") and the Venus India Structured Finance
Master Limited ("Mauritius India Fund") acting as master funds. The
Mauritius Macro Fund served as the master fund for the BVI Macro
Fund and the Mauritius India Fund served as the master fund for the
BVI India Fund.
In turn, the Mauritius Macro Fund and the BVI Macro Fund were
formed to make profits through investments in listed securities in
India. As an alternative to security investments, the Mauritius
India Fund and the BVI India Fund provided a structure to invest in
a non-banking financial company in which investors could
participate in the market for secured and unsecured lending to
Indian companies.
Mehrotra principally operated the investment activities of both the
BVI and Mauritius Debtors.
Mehrotra unexpectedly passed away in 2023. Mehrotra was so vital to
VCM's operations that upon his death VCM's board of directors could
no longer effectively manage the company or make strategic
decisions on its behalf. After determining that the company could
not function, VCM's directors began taking steps to put the
appropriate entities into insolvency proceedings.
In November of 2024, VCM's directors formally appointed Huns Biltoo
as Administrator of VCM pursuant to Section 215(6)(a) of the
Mauritius Insolvency Act. In turn, Biltoo as the Mauritius
Liquidator executed shareholder resolutions to place the BVI
Debtors into liquidation under Section 159(2) of the BVI Insolvency
Act. From there, the Mauritius Foreign Representative appointed
Russell Crumpler and Christopher Farmer as joint BVI Liquidators or
BVI Foreign Representatives.
The Mauritius Liquidator and BVI Liquidators have represented to
the Court that they are cooperating with each other to take control
of their respective Debtors' investments, cash, and other assets to
distribute them to the appropriate creditors and investors.
The Mauritius Liquidator and BVI Liquidators have confirmed that
they have control over the Mauritius and BVI Debtors, respectively,
and that since their appointments, most of the work performed in
relation to the Foreign Proceedings has been done in each Debtor's
country of origin.
The Debtors have initiated these cases for the primary purpose of
staying actions against them and taking control of certain bank
accounts located at Citizens Bank in Providence, R.I.
The Debtors claim their principal assets are the Bank Accounts and
an ownership interest in a retainer on deposit in an Akerman LLP
trust account in Rhode Island.
Having concluded that the Foreign Representatives of the Mauritius
and BVI Proceedings satisfied all requirements of Sec. 1517 and
Sec. 1515, the Court granted the Petitions.
The Court also granted discretionary relief under Sec. 1521(a) to
assist the foreign representatives in their goal of taking control
of the Bank Accounts and properly distributing their contents.

Chapter 11 Plan
As shared by the Troubled Company Reporter, Village Roadshow
Entertainment Group USA Inc. and its affiliates filed with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware a
Disclosure Statement for the Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation
dated January 29, 2026.
Debtor Village Roadshow Entertainment Group (BVI) Limited ("VREG
BVI") is the parent holding company and the direct or indirect
controlling member and/or shareholder of its Debtor subsidiaries.
The Company is a leading independent producer and financier of
major Hollywood motion pictures, having produced and released over
100 films since its inception in 1997. As a market-leading
entertainment organization, the Company's affairs are complex. As
of the Petition Date, the Debtors operated several different
entities that were attached to two separate debt structures. The
Company's primary assets are contractual rights and intellectual
property related to motion picture films and television series.
Shortly after commencing these Chapter 11 Cases, Solic launched the
postpetition marketing process. This process was designed to build
upon the prepetition efforts by marketing the Debtors' assets to an
even broader group of potential buyers, which included the parties
who were contacted prepetition and additional parties identified by
the Debtors and their advisors. The expanded process included
strategic and financial parties as well as distress-oriented
investors who may be interested in the Debtors' intellectual
property and fixed assets.
On April 3, 2025, the Debtors received a letter proposal from Alcon
Media Group, LLC setting forth a bid for the Library Assets,
contingent upon being the new stalking horse bidder. As a result of
the extensive good-faith negotiations, and in consultation with
their other advisors, the Debtors determined that the Alcon
Stalking Horse Bid for the Library Assets was the highest and best
proposal received.
On April 16, 2025, the Debtors filed a motion [Docket No. 197] (the
"Stalking Horse Supplement") seeking entry of an order (a)
modifying the relief requested in the Bid Procedures and Sale
Motion, (b) approving (i) the designation of Alcon as the new
stalking horse bidder for the Debtors' Library Assets, (ii) the
Debtors' entry into an asset purchase agreement with Alcon setting
forth the terms of the Alcon Stalking Horse Bid for the Library
Assets ("Alcon Stalking Horse APA"), and (iii) an expense
reimbursement provided to Alcon pursuant to the terms of the Alcon
Stalking Horse APA, and (c) granting related relief.
On July 23, 2025, the sale of the Library Assets to Alcon closed,
and the Debtors filed the Notice of Library Assets Sale Closing.
Pursuant to the Library Assets Sale Order, the Debtors applied the
proceeds of the Library Assets sale: (a) first to the ABS Trustee
for the indefeasible payment in full of the outstanding Prepetition
ABS Obligations in accordance with the Prepetition ABS Agreements;
(b) second, to each of the DIP Secured Parties, amounts necessary
to indefeasibly satisfy all of the Debtors' obligations owed to
such DIP Secured Party in full in accordance with the DIP Documents
and the Final DIP Order; (c) third, to fund the Warner Bros.
Reserve; (d) fourth, to fund the Library Reserve; and (e) fifth, to
the Sellers.
Class 3A consists of Library Debtors General Unsecured Claims. On
the Effective Date, or as soon as reasonably practicable
thereafter, all Allowed Library Debtors General Unsecured Claims,
other than the Warner Bros. Claims, will be paid in full from the
Library Reserve, unless the Holder of an Allowed Library Debtors
General Unsecured Claim and the Debtors or the Liquidation Trustee,
as applicable, agree to less favorable treatment for such Holder,
in full and final satisfaction of its Allowed Library Debtors
General Unsecured Claim. Once the Warner Bros. Claims have been
determined by Final Order or by agreement of the parties and become
Allowed (if at all, or in whole or in part), the Warner Bros.
Claims will be paid in full in the Allowed amount, first from the
Warner Bros. Reserve, and second, to the extent that the Warner
Bros. Reserve is insufficient to satisfy the Warner Bros. Claims,
from the Library Reserve.
Class 3A is Unimpaired, and Holders of Library Debtors General
Unsecured Claims are conclusively presumed to have accepted the
Plan pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code. The
allowed unsecured claims in Class 3A total $119,292,360. This Class
will receive a distribution of 100% of their allowed claims.
Class 3B consists of Non-Library Debtors General Unsecured Claims.
On or prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors will fund the GUC
Trust with the GUC Trust Amount and the GUC Trust Initial Funding
Amount. Except to the extent that a Holder of an Allowed Non
Library Debtors General Unsecured Claim and the Debtors or the
Liquidation Trustee, as applicable, agree to less favorable
treatment for such Holder, in full and final satisfaction of its
Allowed Non-Library Debtors General Unsecured Claim, each Holder
thereof will receive 85% of its Allowed Claim from the GUC Trust
Net Amount; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that if the value
of the GUC Trust Net Amount exceeds the GUC Recovery, such excess
amount shall be distributed to the Liquidation Trust for the sole
and exclusive benefit of Holders of Senior Secured Notes Claims.
Class 3B is Impaired, and Holders of Non-Library Debtors General
Unsecured Claims are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.
The allowed unsecured claims total $8,579,606. This Class will
receive a distribution of 85% of their allowed claims.
On or after the Confirmation Date, the Debtors shall be authorized
to take all actions as may be deemed necessary or appropriate to
consummate any Sale Transactions pursuant to the terms of the Plan,
the Sale Orders, any Sale Documents, and the Confirmation Order,
and any such Sale Transactions shall be free and clear of any
Liens, Claims, Interests, and encumbrances pursuant to sections 363
and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the earlier of (i) the
closing date of such Sale Transaction and (ii) the Effective Date.
On the Effective Date, the Debtors, on their own behalf and on
behalf of the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries, and the Liquidation
Trustee shall execute the Liquidation Trust Agreement and take all
other steps necessary to establish the Liquidation Trust pursuant
to the Liquidation Trust Agreement. On the Effective Date, and in
accordance with and pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the Debtors
shall irrevocably transfer and shall be deemed to have irrevocably
transferred to the Liquidation Trust all of their rights, title,
and interests in all of the Liquidation Trust Assets and, in
accordance with Section 1141 of the Bankruptcy Code, the
Liquidation Trust Assets shall automatically vest in the
Liquidation Trust free and clear of all Claims, Liens, encumbrances
or interests, subject to the terms of the Liquidation Trust
Agreement.
Subject to the provisions of the Plan concerning the Professional
Fee Reserve Account, the Debtors, the Liquidation Trustee or the
GUC Trustee, as applicable, shall fund distributions under the Plan
with Cash on hand on the Effective Date and the Debtors' other
assets.

WELLMADE FLOOR: Seeks to Extend Plan Exclusivity to May 31
----------------------------------------------------------
Wellmade Floor Coverings International, Inc., and Wellmade
Industries MFR NA LLC asked the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of Georgia to extend their exclusivity periods to
file a plan of reorganization and obtain acceptance thereof to May
31 and July 30, 2026, respectively.
The Debtors explain that the Chapter 11 Cases are sufficiently
complex to warrant the requested extension of the Exclusive
Periods. There are several prepetition lawsuits pending against the
Debtors, one of which is a class action suit. While the Debtors
have reached the Contingent Settlement, additional steps are
required before the settlement is fully consummated.
The Debtors claim that they have used the past six month to resolve
key litigation, conduct a private sale of substantially all of
their assets, respond to formal and informal information requests
from various parties, and negotiate and finalize the postpetition
financing necessary to maintain operations during the Chapter 11
Cases. Thus, the Debtors submit that the complexity of the Chapter
11 Cases and the limited length of time the cases have been pending
weigh in favor of granting the requested extension of the Exclusive
Periods.
Since the Petition Date, the Debtors and their professionals have
focused much of their time, energy, and resources on administering
the Chapter 11 Cases, finalizing a private sale of substantially
all the Debtors' assets, and negotiating with vendors and other
creditors, including the Committee and the Labor Plaintiffs.
Extension of the Exclusive Periods will ensure that the Debtors
have a full and fair opportunity to propose the Disclosure
Statement and Plan as necessary without the distraction, cost, and
delay of a competing plan process.
The Debtors cite that the Contingent Settlement marks are huge step
towards the resolution of these Chapter 11 Cases, as these claims
and the contention relationship between the Debtors and the Labor
Plaintiffs had consumed much of the Debtors' focus up to this
point. Further, granting the requested extensions of the Exclusive
Periods will not pressure the Debtors' creditors or grant the
Debtors any unfair bargaining leverage. In fact, one main purpose
of this extension is to allow the Debtors to finalize the
Contingent Settlement.
The Debtors assert that consideration received from the private
sale will almost certainly be sufficient to pay the claims of all
allowed creditors in full. The Contingent Settlement also
contemplates a confirmable plan. Thus, the Debtors believe that
that they have reasonable prospects for proposing, confirming, and
consummating a Disclosure Statement and Plan. Accordingly, the
Debtors believe that this factor weighs in favor of extending 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 the Debtors' efforts to preserve and maximize 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. Moreover, the proposal
and solicitation of any competing plan would greatly complicate and
increase the cost of administering the Chapter 11 Cases, further
justifying the requested extension of the Exclusive Periods.
Finally, the Debtors have discussed the proposed extension of the
Exclusive Periods with counsel to the Committee. The Committee's
counsel has indicated that the Committee supports the proposed
extension. Given that the Debtors' DIP Lender and prepetition
lender have been paid in full, all major creditor constituents
support the extension.

WESCO INT'L: Fitch Affirms 'BB+' LongTerm IDR, Outlook Stable
-------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed WESCO International, Inc.'s and WESCO
Distribution, Inc.'s (collectively, WESCO) Long-Term Issuer Default
Ratings (IDRs) at 'BB+' with a Stable Outlook. Fitch assigned 'BB+'
ratings with a Recovery Rating of 'RR4' to WESCO's proposed senior
unsecured notes. The proceeds will be used to refinance the note
set to mature in June 2028. WESCO's senior unsecured notes have
been affirmed at 'BB+'/'RR4', and ABL facility at 'BBB-'/'RR1'.
The ratings reflect the company's scale, strong market position,
end-market diversification, free cash flow (FCF) generation and
financial flexibility. The ratings also reflect Fitch's expectation
that WESCO will manage EBITDA leverage below 3.5x while executing
its growth strategy, which includes tuck-in acquisitions and
capitalizing on secular trends, despite near-term softness in
utility customer spending.
Key Rating Drivers
Beneficiary of Secular Trends: Fitch expects WESCO to benefit from
long-term secular trends including growth of data centers and AI,
electrification, automation and grid modernization. Data centers
accounted for 18% of the company's total sales in 2025 and are
expected to help drive high-single-digit revenue growth in the
Communication & Security Solutions business in 2026, while demand
from utility customers is expected to recover in 2026.
Long-term demand in industrial, non-residential construction,
utilities and other end markets is expected to be robust. Fitch
anticipates smaller bolt-on acquisitions will complement the
company's growth profile, driving mid-single-digit revenue growth
over the forecast period.
Leading North American Market Position: Fitch believes WESCO's
leading market position in the North American electrical and data
communication distribution industry is supportive of the credit
profile. The overall market remains highly fragmented, with few
competitors holding meaningful market share. WESCO expects to
benefit from further industry consolidation, with market share
gains contributing to growth over the medium term.
Fitch expects WESCO to further strengthen its market position and
bolster its growth through bolt-on acquisitions. Fitch also
believes it has competitive advantages, including operational
leverage and increased market position defensibility through broad
customer and supplier relationships.
Financial Policy: Fitch believes WESCO's capital allocation will
focus on growth, including mergers and acquisitions, and returning
capital to shareholders. The company is expected to manage its
EBITDA leverage between 3.0x and 3.5x while balancing these capital
allocation priorities. Fitch believes WESCO has the capacity to
deliver on its current net leverage target range of 1.5x to 2.5x as
EBITDA recovers and it uses FCF to pay down its asset-based loan
(ABL) and accounts receivable (AR) securitization facility.
Healthy FCF Margin: Fitch expects FCF margins in the low single
digits through the forecast period. WESCO is guiding for FCF of
$500 million to $800 million in 2026. WESCO has historically
generated stable and strong FCF, which Fitch views as a positive
credit driver. Cash generation is typically countercyclical for
distributors as they have the flexibility to unload inventory while
scaling back purchases in downturns.
Diversified Business Profile: WESCO serves a balanced mix of end
markets including industrial, construction, utilities and data
communications. The company's diversification helps offset the
cyclicality of its end markets and its exposure to residential
construction is minimal. In addition, WESCO has well-diversified
product lines, suppliers and customers. The company has almost
130,000 customers with its top 10 customers accounting for 15% of
2025 sales.
Peer Analysis
WESCO has an operating profile similar to IT-focused distributors
such as Avnet, Inc. (Avnet; BBB-/Negative), Ingram Micro Inc.
(BB/Stable) and Arrow Electronics, Inc. (Arrow; BBB-/Stable), with
EBITDA margins in the mid- to high- single digits and
countercyclical FCF. The company has successfully deleveraged,
mainly through EBITDA growth, following the integration of Anixter,
Inc., but leverage remains higher than Avnet's and Arrow's.
Compared with more industrial-focused distributors, WESCO has
greater scale, lower profitability margins and comparable
end-market cyclicality.
Fitch’s Key Rating-Case Assumptions
- Mid-single-digit revenue growth as WESCO benefits from secular
trends and bolt-on acquisitions;
- EBITDA margins sustained at about 7%;
- Common stock dividends of about $90 million to $100 million
through the forecast period with excess capital returned to
shareholders though share repurchases;
- FCF margins in the low-single-digits over the forecast period;
- Effective interest rate of about 6% through forecast horizon.
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, Higher),
Diversification and Asset Quality (bbb, Moderate), Company
Operational Characteristics (bb, Moderate), Profitability (bb-,
Moderate), Financial Structure (bb+, Higher), and Financial
Flexibility (bbb-, Moderate).
- The quantitative financial subfactors are based on custom CRT
financial period parameters: 20% weight for the forecast year 2025,
40% for the forecast year 2026 and 40% for the forecast year 2027.
- The Governance assessment of 'Good' results in no adjustment.
- The Operating Environment assessment of 'aa-' results in no
adjustment.
- The SCP is 'bb+'.
To derive the IDR:
- No adjustments were made to SCP, resulting in an IDR of 'BB+'.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Negative
Rating Action/Downgrade
- A less conservative policy leading to EBITDA leverage sustained
above 3.5x;
- A deterioration in the operating profile or working capital
management leading to heightened variability or a sustained
contraction in FCF margins;
- An inability to implement or execute on management strategy
leading to a deterioration in the operating profile, higher costs,
or loss of market share.
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Positive
Rating Action/Upgrade

WHITE ROCK MEDICAL: Gets Extension to Use Cash Collateral
---------------------------------------------------------
White Rock Medical Center, LLC received another extension from the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston
Division, to use cash collateral.
At the recently held hearing, the court authorized the Debtor's
interim use of cash collateral and set a final hearing for March
31.
The Debtor was previously allowed to use the cash collateral of SRC
Hospital Investments I, LLC, a secured lender, under the court's
Feb. 17 second interim order.
The second interim order granted SRC protection through replacement
liens on post-petition assets and superpriority administrative
expense claims. It authorized cash payments of $50,000 for February
and monthly payments of $50,000 starting this month until a final
order is entered.
About White Rock Medical Center LLC
White Rock Medical Center, LLC operates a healthcare facility
providing medical and hospital services to patients in Texas.
White Rock Medical Center sought relief under Chapter 11 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. Case No. 26-90115) on January 20,
2026. In its petition, the Debtor reports estimated assets ranging
from $10 million to $50 million and estimated liabilities between
$50 million and $100 million.
Honorable Bankruptcy Judge Christopher M. Lopez handles the case.
The Debtor is represented by Omar Jesus Alaniz, Esq., at Reed
Smith, LLP.
WOODCREST CONDOMINIUMS: Seeks to Extend Plan Exclusivity to June 1
------------------------------------------------------------------
Woodcrest Condominiums IX, LLC, asked the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Columbia to extend its exclusivity periods to file
a plan of reorganization and obtain acceptance thereof to June 1
and August 1, 2026, respectively.
The Debtor is a limited liability company formed under the laws of
the District of Columbia, which owns three condominium units (the
"Condo Units") located on Woodcrest Drive SE, Washington, DC 20032.
The Condo Units are part of a larger condominium development known
as Woodcrest Villas.
The Condo Units are the Debtors' primary assets, and the proceeds
from the sale of the Condo Units represent the Debtors' primary
source of cash for funding its operations and administrative
expenses incurred during the Bankruptcy Case.
Welch Family Limited Partnership Five holds a disputed lien against
the Condo Units. The Debtor filed an adversary proceeding against
Welch seeking to, among other things, determine that the Welch lien
is invalid, which adversary proceeding is pending and has yet to be
adjudicated.
The Debtor explains that the pendency of the disputed liens
asserted by Welch and extensive litigation with Welch has made this
case complex, although this is not a large case. The Debtor has
worked expeditiously to position the disputed issues before the
Court for determination.
The Debtor believes it is prudent to preserve its exclusive right
to file a plan while it works through the issues relating to the
liens on and the sale of the Condo Units. The amount of time that
the Debtor is requesting is modest and is in line with this Court's
extension of exclusive periods in similar cases. The Debtor
believes that good cause exists to grant the Motion and extend the
Debtor's Exclusive Periods to file a proposed plan and solicit
acceptances thereto.

WYNDHAM HOTEL: Fitch Rates New $650MM Unsec. Notes Due 2033 'BB+'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned a 'BB+' rating with a Recovery Rating of
'RR4' to Wyndham Hotels & Resorts Inc.'s (WH) proposed $650 million
senior unsecured notes due 2033. Proceeds will be used to prepay
its existing term loan due 2027, repay outstanding revolving credit
facility borrowings, and provide cash to the balance sheet.
Fitch expects WH's EBITDA leverage to remain at or below 4.0x in
the forecast period through 2028. Despite continued near-term
headwinds in revenue per available room (RevPAR), Fitch forecasts
continued EBITDA growth driven by steady room growth and growth in
ancillary revenue. WH's room growth is reinforced by an extensive
development pipeline. In addition, WH's strong free cash flow
position should enable it to continue investing in the business and
return capital to shareholders.
Key Rating Drivers
RevPAR Weakness Downmarket: The U.S. continues to see a bifurcation
in RevPAR trends, with the Upper Upscale and Luxury segments
experiencing modest growth, while Economy and Midscale remain under
pressure. This is primarily because higher-scale-chain hotels are
better able to drive price, as all chain scales are seeing similar
occupancy trends. WH's offerings are primarily in the
select-service segment, which is subject to higher cost sensitivity
among cost-conscious travelers.
Wyndham's exposure to the lower chain scales has contributed to its
underperformance relative to Fitch-rated peers, which tend to have
a stronger presence in the Upper Upscale and Luxury segments. The
ongoing softness in RevPAR at the lower end of the market has
weighed on Wyndham's overall performance. Despite this softness,
continued system growth supported by a strong pipeline have
mitigated underperformance.
Pipeline Supports Market Position: WH is the largest franchisor by
franchised hotels worldwide and has an extensive development
pipeline of 259,000 rooms. About 58% of the pipeline comprises
international rooms across 63 countries. Midscale and above-tier
categories represent 70% of the pipeline, highlighting WH's focus
on diversifying across high-margin franchise segments.
WH has increased its capital outlay with development advance notes,
which are made to owners and amortized over the life of the
franchise agreement. Fitch regards the notes as a capital
commitment to attract owners and boost room count. The notes made
up $343 million of WH's balance sheet in 4Q25, up from $144 million
in 2022. WH has guided $110 million in development note spend for
the full year 2026. Fitch expects it to spend at this level in the
medium term.
Strong Net Room Growth: WH's margins remain strong, supported by
its expanding portfolio of more than 869,000 rooms across 25
brands. The company's select-service, franchise focus emphasizes
cost efficiencies and higher margins compared to its peers, while
its owner-first approach prioritizes investment in technology to
optimize market share. WH's high retention-rates contribute to
ongoing net room growth, which Fitch forecasts to grow at 4.0% in
2026 (excluding any impact from Revo).
Capital Return Prioritized: Fitch expects WH to continue to
prioritize shareholder returns through repurchases and dividends as
it has a high incentive to buy back shares from management's
sentiment around stock undervaluation. As of 4Q25, WH had $274
million availability under its share repurchase program. Fitch
expects capital allocation to be funded through a mix of free cash
flow and additional financing while managing its capital structure
in accordance with a net leverage policy of 3x-4x, leaving headroom
to lever for capital return.
Peer Analysis
WH's rating reflects its diversification across brands, geographies
and offerings relative to peers. Its system size of 869,000 rooms,
development pipeline of 259,000 rooms and loyalty program of over
122 million members as of 4Q25, trails industry leaders like Hilton
Hotels & Resorts (not rated) and Marriott International (not
rated), which have system sizes of over 1 million, development
pipelines roughly double that of WH and loyalty reward programs
with over 150 million members.
However, WH tracks ahead of Hyatt Hotels Corporation (BBB-/Stable)
and Accor S.A. (BBB-/Positive), with a larger total room count and
pipeline size. WH is predominately exposed to lower chain scales,
while Hilton, Accor, and Marriott offer brands across most chain
scales and Hyatt focuses on high-end offerings.
WH has lower top-line revenue than its lodging peers but leads in
EBITDA margins. The asset-light business structure is fully
franchised compared with its lodging peers, which have a small
percentage of owned, leased and managed portfolios. The focus on
franchise revenue streams in the select-service space allows for
lower operating costs and cash flow volatility.
WH's stated financial policy of 3.0x-4.0x net leverage is wider in
range relative to Marriott (3x-3.5x gross leverage), Hilton
(3x-3.5x net leverage), Accor (less than 3.0x net leverage) and
Hyatt (3x-3.5x net leverage). Like Hilton, Fitch expects WH to use
capital return to manage leverage in lieu of accretive deals.
Fitch’s Key Rating-Case Assumptions
- Base interest rates for WH's outstanding variable rate debt
obligations are aligned with the current secured overnight
financing rate (SOFR) forward curve;
- RevPAR declines 1% in 2026, followed by 0% to 1% growth
thereafter;
- EBITDA margin is around 79% to 81% throughout the forecast
period, with adjustments for cost reimbursements and marketing,
reservation and loyalty line items;
- Annual net room growth remains at 4.0% in 2026 and 3%
thereafter;
- About $110 million in development advance notes per annum;
- Capex stays at 5% of revenue throughout the forecast horizon;
- The dividend payout ratio remains between 35% and 40% throughout
the forecast period;
- Annual share repurchases of $300 million through the forecast
period;
- EBITDA leverage is between 3.7x and 3.9x throughout the forecast
period.
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 (bb+, Higher), Sector Characteristics (bbb,
Moderate), Market & Competitive Positioning (bb+, Moderate),
Diversification and Asset Quality (bbb-, Moderate), Company
Operational Characteristics (bb-, Higher), Profitability (a+,
Moderate), Financial Structure (bbb-, Higher), and Financial
Flexibility (a-, Moderate).
- 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 Impact assessment of 'Good' results in no
adjustment.
- The Operating Environment Impact assessment of 'a+' results in no
adjustment.
- The SCP is 'bb+'.
To derive the IDR:
- No adjustments made to SCP, resulting in an IDR of 'BB+'.
Recovery Analysis
Fitch applies the generic approach for issuers in the 'BB' rating
category, aligning the Issuer Default Rating (IDR) and unsecured
debt instrument ratings when average recovery prospects are
expected, according to its "Corporates Recovery Ratings and
Instrument Ratings Criteria". Issuers rated 'BB-' and above are
considered too distant from default to conduct a credible default
scenario analysis, which would likely result in Recovery Ratings
(RRs) that are too high across all instruments.
Where a RR is assigned, the generic approach considers the relative
instrument rankings and their recoveries, along with the higher
enterprise valuation associated with 'BB' ratings for the most
senior instruments.
Fitch classifies WH's revolving credit facility and its proposed
senior secured term loan as Category 1. Considering its IDR of
'BB+', the Category 1 first lien senior secured debt is notched one
level to 'BBB-'/'RR1'. The unsecured debt is equalized at
'BB+'/'RR4'.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Negative
Rating Action/Downgrade
- Fitch's expectations for EBITDA leverage being sustained above
4.25x, potentially through a change in WH's long-term financial
policies;
- A deterioration in WH's brand and franchise strength, resulting
in below-average performance, loss of management contracts or
system room loss;
- Weakening of operating EBITDA margin due to unsustainable cost
structure initiatives;
- A material reduction in liquidity that challenges refinancing
ability and leads to higher cost of debt or reliance on secured
borrowings.
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Positive
Rating Action/Upgrade
- Fitch's expectations of EBITDA leverage being sustained below
3.25x;
- Sustained EBITDA margin strength;
- A tightened company-stated leverage policy with an exhibited
clear commitment;
- Demonstrated lower cash flow volatility through the cycle
relative to peers;
- Enhanced scale and portfolio diversification by geography and
segment offerings.
Liquidity and Debt Structure
WH had about $64 million in cash on hand as of Dec. 31, 2025, and
$776 million available on its $1 billion revolving credit facility.
The revolving credit facility will be fully available upon close of
the transaction, when the outstanding amount is repaid. Its next
meaningful maturity is in 2028, when the $500 million senior
unsecured notes are due. Fitch expects WH to use excess free cash
flow to return capital to shareholders through share repurchases
and dividends, which should limit deleveraging and help keep
leverage within management's target. This capital allocation could
shift toward acquisitions if attractive opportunities arise.
Issuer Profile
WH, the world's largest hotel franchising company by number of
franchised hotels, has approximately 8,300 affiliated hotels across
~100 countries. WH's network of over 869,000 rooms commands a
leading presence in the economy and midscale segments of the
lodging industry.
Summary of Financial Adjustments
Fitch excludes marketing, reservation, and loyalty costs, along
with revenues and cost reimbursements, from its calculations of
both revenue and EBITDA. These costs encompass expenses related to
promoting and advertising the company's services, managing booking
systems and platforms for customer reservations, and maintaining
customer loyalty programs, including rewards and incentives to
encourage repeat business.
The revenues and associated expenses are considered equivalent,
meaning they generally match in amount, with any differences
resulting from timing discrepancies. This equivalence implies that
the revenue generated from these activities is offset by the costs
incurred, often leading to large figures that can skew the
perception of growth and margins. By excluding these elements,
Fitch aims to more accurately reflect the issuer's true financial
profile.

[] Total U.S. Bankruptcy Filings Up 14% in February 2026
--------------------------------------------------------
Small business filings, captured as Subchapter V elections within
Chapter 11, increased 91% in February 2026 to 314, up from 164 the
previous year, according to data provided by Epiq AACER, the
leading provider of US bankruptcy filing data.
Commercial Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings increased 67% in February
2026, with 814 filings increasing from 487 filings in February
2025.
February's commercial Chapter 11 total reflects many related
filings tied to a few sizeable commercial Chapter 11 proceedings.
Total February commercial filings increased 21% to 2666 from the
2200 commercial filings in February 2025.
"The significant increases in Subchapter V elections reflect the
reality that many small businesses are operating in a challenging
environment with higher borrowing costs, softening client demand,
and tighter lending standards," said Michael Hunter, Vice President
of Epiq AACER. "At the same time, households are managing rising
credit card and auto delinquencies, increasing foreclosure starts,
and higher mortgage delinquency rates. This is particularly true
within the Federal Housing Administration and Government National
Mortgage Association segment.
"Layer in ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, return of pre-pandemic
normalized filer volumes, and the expiration of Covid-era
forbearance plans and stimulus, it's clear why small--business
restructurings and individual filings continue to increase compared
to last year."
Total bankruptcy filings were 45,891 in February 2026, a 14%
increase from the 40,304 in February 2025.
Individual bankruptcy filings increased 13% in February to 43,225,
up from the February 2025 individual filing total of 38,104.
There were 26,677 individual Chapter 7 filings in February 2026, a
17% increase over the 22,891 filings recorded in February 2025.
Individual Chapter 13 filings in February 2026 totaled 16,437, a 9%
increase from 15,132 last February.
"Subchapter V filings have grown for eight consecutive months amid
inflation, high interest rates, tightening credit, and geopolitical
headwinds," said Amy Quackenboss, Executive Director at ABI. "The
streamlined process of Subchapter V provides struggling small
businesses with the opportunity to restructure and preserve jobs in
a challenging economy."
Even with one less business day and storm-related shutdowns in the
Northeast, many February bankruptcy categories still equaled or
exceeded January's totals. The large number of Subchapter V
elections within Chapter 11 represented a 23% increase over
January's 255 filings.
Conversely, overall commercial filings decreased 7% from the
previous month's total of 2856, and total Chapter 11s dropped 15%
from January's 957 total. This was due in large part to an increase
in related Chapter 11 case filings in January.
Total bankruptcies registered a small increase of 0.2% when
compared to the January 2025 filing total of 45,815, and individual
bankruptcies increased 1% from the 42,959 filings the previous
month.
Individual Chapter 7 filings increased 3% from January's total of
25,803, while Chapter 13 filings fell 4% from the 17,045 filings
recorded the previous month.
