Corporate Governance in Distressed Situations
This panel will focus on different strategies sponsors are using to retain control (or at least put a stake through) the bankruptcy process. What are the risks to sponsors/litigation issues? The panelists will also discuss fiduciary duties, managing conflicts and retaining separate counsel, the interplay between corporate governance and aggressive sponsor action (e.g., selling or spinning/stripping-off assets), sponsor affiliates purchasing debt in the portfolio company’s capital structure, and 10b-5 compliance, as well as negotiating/litigating with a difficult board. This session also includes a discussion of issues that arise when dealing with a challenging board of directors, especially those where some or all directors have been appointed by a controlling shareholder.

Recent Confirmation Developments
Join this session for a discussion on plan vs. statutory impairment (Ultra, PG&E), treatment of third-party releases/plan proponents (Millennium (3d Cir.), SunEdison and other recent S.D.N.Y./Del. Decisions; Emerge and Cloud Peak (Del.)), and classification (Novinda (10th Cir. BAP, litigation claims against a creditor justifies separate classification from other unsecureds)). Should all similarly situated creditors have the right to participate in rights offerings, financings, etc. (PacDrilling, Peabody)? The panelists will also discuss feasibility in light of the return of debtors to bankruptcy (including in the energy and retail space). Are reorganizations being rubber-stamped too easily?
