'Loan-to-Own' Strategy May Lead to Limitation on Credit-Bidding
On April 14, in In re Free Lance-Star Publishing, 512 B.R. 798 (Bankr. E.D. Va. 2014), the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia considered the objection of Chapter 11 debtors to a secured creditor's right to credit bid at a sale of the debtors' assets pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Section 363. The court concluded that the secured creditor—which sought to acquire the debtors rather than collect on the loan—had engaged in inequitable conduct with the intention of depressing the value of the debtors' assets for its own benefit as a buyer, rather than enhance value for the benefit of all creditors. Consequently, the court held that cause existed to limit the secured creditor's right to credit bid at the Section 363 sale.
