101 41ST ST NE: U.S. Trustee Seeks Chapter 11 Trustee Appointment
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Gerard Vetter, the Acting U.S. Trustee for Region 4, asked the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Columbia to appoint a Chapter
11 trustee for 101 41st St NE, LLC.

The company's representative and owner, Jesper Sixtus Nylen,
testified at the 341 meetings that he was the 100% owner of the
company and its affiliates. Meanwhile, the 2021 and 2022 federal
tax returns of the company provided to the U.S. Trustee listed "Ali
Razjooyan Real Estat" as 1% owner of the company and Mr. Nylen as
99% owner.

The U.S. Trustee claimed that Mr. Nylen testified that money was
borrowed from 945 Longfellow St NW, LLC in the amount of $9,100 and
then shortly thereafter paid back. Masterpiece Property Management
loaned at least $100,000 to 101 41st Street and its affiliate, 2100
15th ST SE LLC, both of which are owned and controlled by Mr.
Nylen) in the last several months.

The U.S. Trustee explained that Mr. Nylen testified at the 341
meetings of creditors in the 2100 15th ST and 101 41st ST cases
that these loans were made in an effort to show liquidity in their
bank accounts in the entities efforts to refinance those
properties. The refinance attempts by those entities were not
successful, the monies were repaid to Masterpiece Property
Management, and those entities are currently in bankruptcy before
the court.

Moreover, the companies have again filed contracts for the sale of
their properties with District Housing, LLC. Given the testimony
that Sam Razjooyan referred District Housing to Mr. Nylen, and the
testimony regarding Mr. Razjooyan and Mr. Balles' relationship, the
U.S. Trustee questioned whether these are really arm's length
transactions.

Additionally, cause exists to grant the requested relief under
Section 1112(b)(4)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code, for gross
mismanagement of the estate. The monthly operating reports reflect
that, at least 2100 15th, is writing checks to Masterpiece. While
the amounts may appear to be minimal, the U.S. Trustee has concerns
that the payments were made to entities that are no longer
operating and that are owned or controlled by Sam Razjooyan. U.S.
Realty, the management company that Mr. Razjooyan testified that he
manages, is also the property manager used in these cases.

The U.S. Trustee does not believe that current management should
stay in control of the companies, thus he believes that either the
appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee or conversion of the case to
Chapter 7 is in the best interest of creditors and the estate.

https://urlcurt.com/u?l=ksI8Fz from PacerMonitor.com.

A FAMILY MEMBER: Unsecureds Will Get 7.26% via Quarterly Payments
-----------------------------------------------------------------
A Family Member Homecare Holdings, Inc., filed with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida a Disclosure
Statement describing Plan of Reorganization for Small Business
dated July 8, 2024.

The Debtor, a Florida corporation founded in 2011, is located at
11788 West Sample Road, Suite 15, Coral Springs, Florida.

The President, Brian Gauthier, is 100% owner and sole stockholder.
The Debtor is a home health care provider supplying private duty
nurse. Because the Debtor's business is in the nature of a services
provider, it has little in the way of hard assets.

At the time of filing in Chapter 11, it only had $159,329.30 of
tangible assets, of which $109,494.00 were accounts receivable and
$46,016.00 funds on deposit. The Debtor filed an emergency
voluntary petition in Chapter 11 on November 21, 2023 when one of
its several hard money lenders garnished the Debtor's bank account.
As early as 2016, the Debtor needed funds to operate and borrowed
from First Home Bank (now Bayfirst National Bank).

Class 1 is comprised of the secured claim of BayFirst National
Bank, f/n/a First Home Bank in the amount of $157,964.30.9 (POC 4).
Debtor proposes that this secured claim be paid through November
2028, with the current rate of interest of 6.25%, resulting in
monthly payments of $3,072.00. The term of the mortgage will be
extended by two years, with a reduction in monthly payment amounts
from $4,616.00. under the proposed modification. This class is
impaired.

Class 2 is comprised of eleven general unsecured creditors, holding
claims totaling $1,927,009.66. All but approximately $34,000.00 of
the total unsecured debt represents loans made to keep the business
operational. This class will receive a distribution of $140,000.00
or 7.26% of their allowed claims.

The Debtor will pay allowed General Unsecured Claims 7.26% the
total amount of their claims in 20 quarterly payments. The first 4
payments shall be in the amount of $5,000.00 each, and the last 16
payments shall be in the amount of $7,500.00 each. The bar date for
claims was November 21, 2023. This class is impaired.

Another secured class had been contemplated. It would have
consisted of the secured portion of Five Star Bank's loan. The
total claim amount is $253,181.74 (POC-1). This loan is second in
priority to the BayFirst loan (Class 1), with the related UCC-1
being filed on June 26, 2019. Because of Debtor's lack of assets to
secure the loan, the claim was bifurcated by the Court into a
secured claim of $1,365.00 and an unsecured claim of $251,816.74
(treated in Class 3). The plan was to provide for a lump sum
payment of $1,365.00 on the Plan Effective Date. However, the
Debtor paid the $1,365.00 during the administration of the estate,
when it was paying adequate protection payments.

Under the Plan, Brian Gauthier is, and will remain, the owner of
all of the stock of the Debtor.

Payments and distributions under the Plan will be funded by income
generated from the revenues received from the operation of Debtor's
business as shown in the Projections. Debtor's Projections show a
net profit of $57,734.00 in year one of the plan and $64,759.00 in
year two, and similar amounts in years three through year five.

Except for year one, on a yearly basis, Debtor is projected to
generate enough in net revenues to cover the Plan obligations. The
short fall in year one can be made up, if necessary, from the
Debtor's reserve fund as shown on the Projections. 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.

ALLEGRO MICROSYSTEMS: S&P Upgrades ICR To 'BB-', Outlook Stable
---------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings raised its issuer credit rating on U.S.-based
sensor and power integrated circuits provider Allegro MicroSystems
Inc. to 'BB-' from 'B+' and affirmed its 'BB' issue-level rating on
its senior secured term loan. S&P also revised the recovery rating
on the term loan to '2' from '1'

S&P said, "The stable outlook reflects our expectation that
Allegro's annual revenues will recover to about $1 billion in
fiscal 2026 following a 20%-23% decline this fiscal year due to
weaker demand and excess product inventory at customers and
distributors. As a result, we expect EBITDA margins to improve to
about 30% from operating leverage gains. We also expect the company
to maintain significant FOCF even in fiscal 2025, which could lead
to debt prepayment capacity.

"We expect a demand recovery and potential debt prepayments using
FOCF will support rapid deleveraging by the end of fiscal 2026.

"Following significant revenue declines quarter-on-quarter from the
December 2023 quarter until an expected sequential decline of about
30% in the June 2024 quarter, we expect Allegro to return to
quarterly sequential revenue growth of above 10% from September
2024. Order activity and backlog from customers seem to support an
inventory normalization and demand recovery in the automotive
end-market (over 70% of total revenues) before the industrial
end-market. We therefore believe the company could experience a
strong revenue recovery in fiscal 2026 with growth of 25%-27% after
a decline of 20%-23% in fiscal 2025. We believe it continues to
benefit from long-term secular demand tailwinds around the global
adoption of e-mobility (including electric and hybrid vehicles),
industrial automation and clean energy.

"In line with the revenue volatility, we expect S&P Global Ratings'
adjusted EBITDA margins to decline sharply this fiscal year to
18%-19% before rebounding back to about 30% in fiscal 2026. This is
because savings from cost reduction activities during the downcycle
were absorbed by the consolidation of Crocus Technologies acquired
in October 2023. As a result, we expect leverage (which does not
net available cash and cash equivalents) to return to below 2x in
fiscal 2026 from a peak of 3.2x-3.5x in fiscal 2025. Furthermore,
we expect the company to maintain FOCF of well above $50 million
even in fiscal 2025 driven by a significant decrease in capital
expenditures (capex) after completing the expansion of its assembly
and testing facilities in the Philippines. Given the company's
history of debt prepayments (including a $50 million term loan
prepayment in April), we believe it may use FOCF to deleverage even
faster than in our base case forecast.

"We expect Allegro to continue to maintain a relatively
conservative financial policy after Sanken decreases its equity
stake.

"Allegro had historically maintained leverage below 1x prior to the
ongoing cyclical downturn and proposed transactions. While Sanken's
ability to unilaterally pay itself dividends or impose an
aggressive financial policy on the company was largely restricted
by a stockholder agreement requiring an approval from One Equity
Partners (OEP), we believe the reduction of Sanken's ownership
further decreases the possibility of such actions occurring. We
view this as positive for credit quality especially given that OEP
has now decreased its equity stake to well-below 5% and no longer
has any board representation. Furthermore, Sanken has reduced the
number of directors it can designate to Allegro's board to two out
of a total of ten.

"Nonetheless, in addition to organic growth investments, we expect
the company will consider opportunistic acquisitions to bolster its
product portfolio, such as the Crocus Technologies acquisition in
October 2023. We also cannot rule out the possibility of additional
repurchases of Sanken-held shares at a later date after a 14-month
lockup period ends. We therefore expect Allegro will maintain
long-term leverage generally below 3x, as opposed to historical
levels.

"The stable outlook reflects our expectation that Allegro's annual
revenues will recover to about $1 billion in fiscal 2026 following
a 20%-23% decline this fiscal year due to weaker demand and excess
product inventory at customers and distributors. As a result, we
expect EBITDA margins to improve to about 30% from operating
leverage gains resulting in leverage decreasing to below 2x from a
peak of up to mid-3x at the end of fiscal 2025. We also expect the
company to maintain significant FOCF of well above $50 million even
during the trough of the cyclical downturn in fiscal 2025, which
could lead to debt prepayment capacity."

S&P could lower its rating on Allegro if:

-- The ongoing cyclical downturn is significantly deeper or more
prolonged than expected leading to continued revenue declines or
weak EBITDA margins such that we expect leverage to remain above 3x
in fiscal 2026 and FOCF to debt below 15%; or

-- The company adopts an aggressive financial policy characterized
by large debt-funded acquisitions or shareholder distributions that
lead us to believe the above credit metrics would be sustained at
the bottom of an industry cycle. This could also include further
large debt-funded repurchases of its shares held by Sanken.

S&P could consider an upgrade if:

-- Allegro maintains leverage well below 2x with enough cushion
such that S&P expects it would maintain leverage near or below 2x,
even through the bottom of a demand cycle; and

-- It maintains a clear financial policy or sufficient track
record that supports the above leverage level and FOCF to debt
approaching 25%.

Alternatively, S&P could raise its rating if the company
considerably expands its revenue scale and total addressable market
by increasing the breadth of its product portfolio while also
diversifying its end-market exposures and increasing its FOCF
generation.

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) credit factors for this
change in credit rating/outlook and/or CreditWatch status:

-- Governance structure
-- Other governance factors

S&P said, "At the same time, we lowered our issue-level rating on
the second-lien notes to 'D' from 'CCC-'. We also lowered our
issue-level rating on the senior secured notes due 2029 to 'D' from
'B-'.

"Finally, we placed the issue-level rating on the term loan due
2026 on CreditWatch with negative implications.

"The downgrade follows AMC's announcement of a debt exchange, which
we view as distressed. On July 22, 2024, AMC announced it repaid
$519 million of its second-lien notes due 2026. We view the
transaction as distressed and tantamount to selective default
because lenders would receive less than the original promise. More
specifically, the transaction strips collateral coverage from AMC's
secured notes due 2029, the remaining second-lien notes that were
not repaid, and any portion of the pre-existing term loan that is
not exchanged."

The transaction created a new subsidiary that does not guarantee
any of the company's previously existing capital structure. The
company will transfer theater assets and AMC intellectual property
to the new subsidiary as collateral to support the new debt.
Collateral transferred accounted for roughly 44% of 2023 EBITDA. In
S&P's view, this would effectively subordinate nonparticipating
lenders with respect to the assets held at the new subsidiary,
encouraging participation.

The transaction will include a new term loan of between $1.2
billion and $2.0 billion, subject to the percentage of existing
term loan lenders who opt in, and $414 million of new exchangeable
notes. In additional to the second-lien note repayment, the company
will also exchange between $1.1 billion and $1.9 billion of its
previously existing term loan for the new term loan at the newly
formed subsidiary. Nonparticipating lenders will not have a claim
against assets held at the new subsidiary and would have
substantially all their restrictive covenants removed.

The transaction significantly reduces AMC's 2026 debt maturities,
but does not improve the company's ability to generate free
operating cash flow. In total, the transaction will reduce debt due
in 2026 by between $1.6 billion and $2.4 billion. However, the
company would still have $300 million to $500 million of debt due
in 2026 to address. Our base-case assumes the $414 million of new
exchangeable notes would be converted to equity in the near term,
but the interest expense savings from this conversion would be more
than offset by the increase in pricing for the new term loan.

S&P said, "We plan to reevaluate our issuer credit rating within
the next several months to reflect the company's new capital
structure and liquidity position. Our review will focus on the
long-term viability of AMC's capital structure, its recent
performance, and our forward-looking opinion of its
creditworthiness."



AMENTUM HOLDINGS: S&P Upgrades ICR to 'BB-', Outlook Stable
-----------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings raised our issuer credit rating on Amentum
Holdings LLC to 'BB-' from 'B'. S&P also assigned its 'BB-' issue
rating and '3' recovery rating to the proposed first-lien term
loan, indicating its expectations of meaningful recovery (50%-70%;
rounded estimate: 60%) in the event of a payment default.

The stable outlook reflects S&P's expectation that credit metrics
will remain appropriate for the rating over the next 12 months as
Amentum works through integration, which could result in net cost
synergies of $60 million over the next few years.

Amentum Holdings entered into a definitive agreement to merge with
Jacobs Solutions Inc.'s Critical Mission Solutions (CMS) and Cyber
& Intelligence (C&I) businesses and operate as a publicly traded
company.

The all stock acquisition of Jacobs' CMS and C&I businesses will
enhance Amentum's scale and service offering in cyber and
energy-related end markets, while reducing its contract
concentration. S&P forecasts pro forma revenue will be about $13.5
billion in fiscal 2024 and steadily increase 2%-4% over the next
few years. The contract profiles of the Jacobs businesses that
overlap with Amentum customers--notably NASA--are largely
complementary. It will allow Amentum to extend capabilities into
other parts of the contract life cycle. Additionally, Amentum
reduces top-10 customer concentration (on an EBITDA contribution
basis) to 23% from 45% at the legacy Amentum business pro forma for
the transaction. No single customer contract represents more than
3% of the company's pro forma EBITDA. S&P expects the combined
margin profile of the businesses to remain stable in the near
term.

S&P said, "We expect Amentum will maintain EBITDA margins 300-400
basis points (bps) lower than peers' at a similar scale (i.e.,
Leidos, Booz Allen) pro forma for the transaction. We forecast S&P
Global Ratings-adjusted EBITDA margin of about 7% in fiscal 2025,
improving to the low-8% area in fiscal 2026. Our forecast includes
$150 million in transaction expenses in fiscal 2025, offset
partially by modest net cost synergies of about $15 million,
increasing to $45 million in fiscal 2026.

"Amentum's higher-margin peers, in our view, have greater exposure
to contracts that include higher-value additive work and (in the
case of Leidos) mix that includes more products less likely to be
disrupted than services. That said, we do believe there is some
revenue visibility provided by the backlog from services. We view
the increased scale as enhancing the company's ability to compete
for contracts, but view the limited gain in margin as a constraint
to overall business risk improvement."

Robust defense spending likely still supports Amentum's long-term
growth. The fiscal 2025 U.S. defense budget request was for 4%
top-line growth (base and supplemental) to nearly $850 billion. S&P
continues to believe that pro forma for the transaction, Amentum's
programs remain aligned with national defense priorities and
well-funded over time. Amentum's pro forma backlog will be about
$47 billion, supporting growth prospects as Amentum targets new
awards and scales existing contracts.

Leverage and free operating cash flow (FOCF) have improved
gradually since fiscal 2023, and will be further enhanced by the
transaction. S&P said, "We forecast leverage will improve to 4.7x
in fiscal 2025 as transaction expenses offset modest organic
growth. It improves in fiscal 2026 to 3.5x from nearly 6.9x in
fiscal 2023. This assumes continued contract awards and ramping up
of contracts at Amentum and Jacobs' CMS and C&I businesses.
Additionally, we forecast reported FOCF in the $425 million-$475
million range in fiscal 2025 and $600 million-$650 million in
fiscal 2026. As Amentum generates FOCF, we expect leverage will
continue to decrease."

Amentum has communicated its intention to reach a net leverage
target of 3x within 24 months of transaction close, a shift in its
financial policy. The company reported leverage of 3x corresponds
to approximately 3.2x on an S&P Global Ratings-adjusted basis. S&P
said, "We do not assume debt repayment in our model due to
uncertainty in the timing and ultimate use of cash proceeds.
However, we would view debt repayment in excess of required
amortization as a credit positive and meaningful step toward
reaching its stated target. It remains somewhat uncertain if
Amentum will pursue additional debt-funded acquisitions over time,
though we believe it could remain opportunistic with tuck-ins as
the integration progresses."

S&P said, "We expect Amentum's financial sponsors, Lindsay Goldberg
and American Securities, will own approximately 37% of the combined
company and nominate five of the 12 board seats. We believe they
will look to exit over the next few years. We continue to monitor
how Amentum's long-term dividend and share repurchase policy take
shape over the next few years as the company works toward its
stated leverage target.

"The stable outlook on Amentum reflects our expectation that its
credit metrics will remain in line with the rating as the company
improves profitability and expands its contract base through the
merger and integration with the Jacobs business. We expect S&P
Global Ratings-adjusted debt to EBITDA in the high-4x area in
fiscal 2025, improving to the mid-3x area in fiscal 2026.

"We could lower the ratings on Amentum within the next 12 months if
debt to EBITDA deteriorates toward 5x and we expect it will remain
there on a sustained basis." This would likely occur if the
company:

-- Does not win new business in line with S&P's forecast to offset
potential contract losses, or contract delays or protests delay
EBITDA generation; or

-- Cannot realize the expected cost savings from its acquisition,
decreasing margins lower than S&P expects.

S&P could raise its ratings on Amentum if debt to EBITDA improves
below 4x and S&P expects it to sustain that. This would likely
occur if the company:

-- Repays debt as it works toward its net leverage target of 3x
(within 24 months of transaction close) and does not pursue
debt-funded acquisitions or shareholder returns in line with its
stated financial policy; and

-- Improves profitability through award wins that improve its mix
or realizes higher than expected synergies in the integration.



ANCHOR GLASS: $671.8MM Bank Debt Trades at 22% Discount
-------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Anchor Glass
Container Corp is a borrower were trading in the secondary market

19, 2024, according to Bloomberg's Evaluated Pricing service data.

The $671.8 million Payment in kind Term loan facility is scheduled
to mature on December 7, 2025. About $671.8 million of the loan is
withdrawn and outstanding.

Anchor Glass Container Corporation manufactures containers. The
Company produces glass containers for the food, beverage, beer,
liquor, and consumer product industries.  


ATP TOWER: S&P Alters Outlook to Negative, Affirms 'BB-' ICR
------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'BB-' issue-level rating to ATP
Tower Holdings LLC's (ATP) proposed senior notes. At the same time,
S&P revised its outlook on ATP to negative from stable and affirmed
the 'BB-' issuer credit rating on the company.

The negative outlook reflects S&P's view that the company's revenue
and cash flow growth pace could be hindered by slower investments
by carriers in the countries where it operates, due to clients'
lower liquidity and an overall delay in the adoption of new
technologies such as 5G.

The proposed issuance of $700 million senior notes will support
ATP's liquidity and capital structure in the next 24 months. ATP
seeks to issue senior notes for up to $700 million, with a tenor of
five to seven years. In S&P's view, this transaction will reduce
potential liquidity and refinancing costs under the company's
current capital structure, since outstanding debt is mainly
composed of:

-- $135 million in bank loans maturing in 2025;

-- $375 million senior notes due in 2026; and

-- About $19 million drawn from its current revolving credit
facility (RCF), due in 2026.

Consequently, the proceeds from the bond will provide ATP with
sufficient resources to meet all its currently outstanding debt
maturities, supporting the debt maturity profile and in turn
reducing refinancing risks in the next three years.

While the company's short-term liquidity headroom includes its $120
million RCF, around $160 million in proceeds from the additional
debt considered in the proposed $700 million transaction will
remain on the company's balance sheet. Therefore, the increased
headroom to manage capex to expand the company's tower and fiber
portfolio in the next two years will support ATP's liquidity
position. Additionally, ATP plans to replace its existing committed
RCF with a new facility due in 2028, which will continue to provide
it with potential liquidity sources in the next few years.

S&P said, "We expect the company will continue to reduce leverage
following the transaction. Following the proposed issuance, ATP
will increase its debt by up to $160 million. While this will raise
the reported debt figure in 2024, we expect the company to deploy
these resources gradually, in line with its existing capex plans
through 2026. This should allow ATP's continuous expansion in terms
of the number of towers and kilometers (km) of fiber, as well as
tower co-location. We think this growth will translate into
increased EBITDA and cash flows, stabilizing credit metrics.

"We have not changed our base case financial projections over the
last two months and continue to forecast adjusted debt to EBITDA to
fall below 6.0x in 2025. Note that, as of the end of the 1Q 2024,
the company posted an annualized debt to EBITDA of 5.8x, and the
temporary increase that we expect in the short term is related to
ongoing capex needs, in line with the current tower and fiber
pipeline. A potential downside risk to the transaction could occur
if, contrary to our expectations, ATP rapidly uses the debt
proceeds for, for instance, an acquisition that doesn't immediately
compensate for higher adjusted debt with a material increase in
cash flow.

"Sluggish investment dynamics in the region could delay
opportunities for revenue and cash flow growth and potentially
negatively affect our view of ATP's credit quality. We continue to
think there are existing growth opportunities for telecom
infrastructure in the Andean region, given the low built capacity
of existing networks and the likely eventual adoption of 5G and
fiber optic in some countries. However, the current competitive
environment could challenge our expected acceleration in ATP's
business and cash flow generation.

"Specifically, on top of political turmoil that has delayed
infrastructure investments for carriers in Peru, the current high
competition in Chile and Colombia has hurt the liquidity of some
telecom carriers and led to less tower and fiber deployment in
those markets than we originally expected. Despite having strong
visibility on 2024 performance, we see a risk of sluggish
investment dynamics potentially affecting 2025 and 2026 performance
if investments are delayed in these countries. The latter could
translate into ATP not meeting its growth and deleveraging
targets.

"Therefore, this market-wide risk for the telecom industry could
impact ATP's metrics in future. If, against our base case
expectation, ATP deviates from its targets so that a reduction in
leverage to below 6.0x takes longer than we expect, we could
potentially review our positive comparable rating assessment on the
company, which underpins the current 'BB-' rating. Therefore, we
revised the rating downside scenario to more appropriately reflect
a reduced flexibility of credit metrics, in light of current market
and investment dynamics, compared to rated tower companies in other
regions.

"However, our base-case scenario, which has not changed materially
over the last two months, continues to consider ongoing growth
opportunities and that ATP will continuously deleverage. We also
expect notable demand for 5G and fiber optic adoption in Colombia,
which could boost metrics in 2024 and 2025. Therefore, we could
revise our outlook to stable if ATP is able to meet its operational
and financial targets throughout 2025.

"The negative outlook on ATP reflects our view that the company's
revenue and cash flow generation may be hindered by slower growth
in the countries where it operates due to sluggish investment
dynamics, clients' lower liquidity, and an overall delay in the
adoption of new technologies such as 5G. This sluggish growth could
result in slower-than-expected improvement of ATP's credit metrics,
in line with ongoing high capex requirements to expand its tower
and fiber network."

S&P could downgrade ATP in the next 12 months if:

-- Leverage increases so that we expect debt to EBITDA to remain
above 6.0x, consistently, while we don't see a clear path for ATP
to post positive free operating cash flow (FOCF);

-- Financial policy becomes more aggressive, resulting in material
and sudden changes to credit metrics; or

-- There's a delay in growth and cash flow forecasts due to
hindered expansion capabilities for ATP.

S&P said, "We could revise the outlook to stable in the next 12
months if ATP meets its revenue growth and cash flow generation
targets, so that debt to EBITDA decreases below 6.0x and we see a
clear path to positive FOCF.

"We could upgrade ATP in the next 12 months if the company reduces
its leverage so that debt to EBITDA falls below 4.0x, consistently.
This would stem from material and stable growth in revenues, with
improved EBITDA margins. At the same time, an upgrade would require
ATP to maintain an adequate liquidity position."



AURA SYSTEMS: Delays Filing of First Quarter Form 10-Q
------------------------------------------------------
Aura Systems, Inc. disclosed via Form 12b-25 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission it will be unable to file its
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended May 31,
2024 by the prescribed due date because the Company will not be
able to timely complete its financial statements without
unreasonable effort or expense.  The Company has determined the
need for additional time to complete its quarter-end close
procedures principally due to delays relating to the Company
transitioning to certain new system platforms as well as recent
management changes. The Company currently expects to file the Form
10-Q within the five-day extension period provided under Rule
12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.


AVALON GLOBOCARE: Audit Committee Dismisses Marcum as Auditor
-------------------------------------------------------------
Avalon GloboCare Corp. disclosed in a Form 8-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission that on July 10, 2024, the Audit
Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company discharged
Marcum LLP, the Company's independent registered public accounting
firm.

Marcum's reports on the Company's financial statements for the
fiscal years ended Dec. 31, 2023 and 2022 did not contain an
adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified
or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles, except that such reports expressed substantial doubt
regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Furthermore, during the Company's fiscal years ended Dec. 31, 2023
and 2022 and through July 10, 2024, there have been no
disagreements with Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or
practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or
procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Marcum's
satisfaction, would have caused Marcum to make reference to the
subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports
on the Company's financial statements for such periods.

During the fiscal years ended Dec. 31, 2023 and 2022 and through
July 10, 2024, there were no "reportable events" as that term is
described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K except for the
following material weaknesses which the Company identified in its
internal control over financial reporting: a lack of segregation of
duties resulting from the Company's small size and inability to
perform an effective test of the operating effectiveness of the
controls, including the oversight of the Company's financial
statement close process, and a lack of the controls needed to
monitor the Company's continuous compliance with contracts,
including debt agreements.

On July 10, 2024, the Audit Committee appointed M&K CPAS, PLLC as
the Company's new independent registered accounting firm.  During
the Company's two most recent fiscal years and through July 10,
2024, neither the Company nor anyone acting on the Company's behalf
consulted M&K with respect to any of the matters or reportable
events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

BALTIMORE ARCHDIOCESE: Abuse Survivors Pledge Ch.11 Process Support
-------------------------------------------------------------------
David Collins of WBALTV 11 reports that the Archdiocese of
Baltimore, survivors pledge cooperation through bankruptcy
process.

The Archdiocese of Baltimore and abuse survivors are pledging
cooperation through the bankruptcy process; however, some survivors
feel left out of the process.

The archdiocese announced in September that it filed for Chapter 11
bankruptcy following numerous claims of child sex abuse by
priests.

"Even though this process is tied to Chapter 11, it does not end
the moral responsibility of the archdiocese to respond
compassionately to those who have been harmed," Baltimore
Archbishop William Lori said.

The archbishop was joined Monday morning by Paul Jan Zdunek, who
chairs the Creditors' Committee of Survivors, for a news conference
to say the archdiocese is working on procedures, mediation and
prevention when it comes to abuse of children.

"We share the same goal of creating an environment, one that is
rooted in mutual trust, one that will enable us to work together
constructively to come to an agreed-upon plan," Lori said.

"We work with our attorneys to make sure the bankruptcy is fair for
survivors and the outcome is as meaningful as possible," Zdunek
said. "We are also here to make sure survivors are paid fairly and
children, most importantly, are protected going forward."

Claims of abuse, which were due by May 31, are still being
examined, but the committee and archdiocese have come to an
agreement on a process to determine the final tally.

"This is much more complicated than it seems on the surface because
we have duplicate claims, we have vague claims that were filed, so
we have to sort through all that to make sure that the number we
put out there, of course as you know, will stick," Zdunek said.

"It's not just a number. It represents so many people who have been
harmed. It represents so many people who have experienced really
terrible things in their lives, stories of abuse, misuse of power,
stories of how the most innocent have been harmed," Lori said.

The next steps will involve a mediation process. Decisions to be
made include how much compensation each survivor will receive. Once
that is determined, the information will be sent to survivors and
then back to court for final approval. The committee and
archdiocese will work together to come up with child sex abuse
prevention policies and protocols.

"I continue to offer my heartfelt apology to you Mr. Chairman, the
committee and to all of the survivors for what you have endured,"
Lori said.

There is also an issue of insurance claims. The status of that and
the bankruptcy case itself is expected to be provided to the court
on July 22.

Monday's news conference came as a surprise to many survivors, as
one survivor organization issued a statement, calling the diocese
the proverbial "wolf in sheep's clothing."

In a lengthy statement, David Lorenz, the Maryland director of the
Survivor's Network of those Abused by Priests, holds Lori in
contempt, writing:

"The press conference today involving Paul Zdunek and the
Archdiocese of Baltimore came as a surprise to many survivors and
the survivor organization. We respect the fact that Paul, as lead
for the Creditor's Committee, has every right to hold a private
press conference. Indeed, he may find the need for such an event.
He has been granted the authority by the bankruptcy to engage with
the diocese.
"However, we in the survivor community, and as members of SNAP,
have seen firsthand how the diocese has obfuscated facts and misled
the public in its pronouncements. While Archbishop Lori may not
have been in Baltimore during many of the abuse cases before him,
he was bishop of Bridgeport, Connecticut, when abuse happened in
that diocese. He was in Baltimore when the Catholic Church
vehemently resisted passage of the Child Victim's Act (CVA) and
sent misleading information to legislators. When the investigative
docuseries 'The Keepers' was about to be released, the diocese
dismissed it as 'fiction' but then later quietly admitted that
there were no inaccuracies in the series.
"Archbishop Lori has been in Baltimore for more than 12 years.
During that time, never once did the archbishop attempt to identify
the more than 40 abusers that were uncovered by the attorney
general's report that was released just last year. In fact, the
archdiocese refused to release the names of the redacted abusers
and enablers contained in that report. They falsely claimed that
they were prohibited, by law, from releasing those 15 names. The
attorney general himself stated that the diocese could release the
names and they were not bound by the law that prohibited the AG
from releasing them.

"Working closely with the survivor community and having to
routinely deal with the inaccuracies, the stonewalling and the
misleading statements coming from the diocese has given us a unique
perspective on the workings of the diocese. With no disrespect to
Paul or the Creditor's Committee, we believe that the diocese is
the proverbial wolf in sheep's clothing. We hold Archbishop Lori
responsible for retraumatizing survivors by resisting the CVA and
then declaring bankruptcy even before the law went into effect.
Even now, Lori is behind the effort to have the CVA ruled
unconstitutional."

BITTREX INC: Abbasi Dispute Won't Proceed to Mediation

BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA: Addresses S.C. Purdue Ruling Implications
----------------------------------------------------------------
Evan Ochsner of Bloomberg Law reports that the Boy Scouts of
America must provide briefing on how the US Supreme Court's recent
decision about Purdue Pharma's bankruptcy will affect a pending
appeal of the youth organization's sex abuse litigation
settlement.

The Monday, July 8, 2024, order comes from the US Court of Appeals
for the Third Circuit, which is considering an appeal of the Boy
Scouts' bankruptcy plan that creates a $2.46 billion trust created
to compensate tens of thousands of people who say they were
sexually abused as children by troop leaders.

BROWNIE'S MARINE: Incurs $336K Net Loss in First Quarter
--------------------------------------------------------
Brownie's Marine Group, Inc. filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reporting a net loss
of $335,716 on $1.61 million of total net revenues for the three
months ended March 31, 2024, compared to a net loss of $327,922 on
$1.64 million of total net revenues for the three months ended
March 31, 2023.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had $4.60 million in total
assets, $3.32 million in total liabilities, and $1.28 million in
total stockholders' equity.

"Despite a working capital surplus of approximately $1,028 at March
31, 2024, the continued losses and cash used in operations raise
substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern for the twelve months after the date the financial
statements were issued.  The Company's ability to continue as a
going concern is dependent upon the Company's ability to increase
revenues, control expenses, raise capital and sustain adequate
working capital to finance its operations.  The failure to achieve
the necessary levels of profitability and cash flows would be
detrimental to the Company," said Brownie's Marine.

A full-text copy of the Form 10-Q is available for free at:

https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1166708/000149315224028208/form10-q.htm

                        About Brownie's Marine

Headquartered in Pompano Beach, Florida, Brownie's Marine Group,
Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiaries, designs, tests,
manufactures and distributes tankless dive systems, rescue air
systems and yacht-based self-contained underwater breathing
apparatus ("SCUBA") air compressor and nitrox generation fill
systems and acts as the exclusive distributor in North and South
America for Lenhardt & Wagner GmbH ("L&W") compressors in the
high-pressure breathing air and industrial gas markets. The Company
is also the exclusive United States and Caribbean distributor for
Chrysalis Trading CC, a South African manufacturer of fitness and
dive equipment, which is doing business as Bright Weights, of a
dive ballast system produced in South Africa.

Margate, Florida-based Assurance Dimensions, the Company's auditor
since 2022, issued a "going concern" qualification in its report
dated May 9, 2024, citing that the Company had a net loss of
approximately $1,248,115 and cash used in operating activities of
approximately $374,827 for the year ended Dec. 31, 2023 as well as
an accumulated deficit of approximately $17,685,610 as of Dec. 31,
2023. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.




BURGER BUILDING: Property Sale Proceeds to Fund Plan Payments
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Burger Building LLC filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Eastern District of New York a Disclosure Statement describing
Plan of Liquidation dated July 8, 2024.

The Debtor was formed as a New York limited liability Company on
December 9, 2016, for the purpose of owning the Property which was
leased to an entity that operated a Burger King restaurant.

The Plan is designed as a liquidating plan and therefore the Debtor
will not be operating after the Confirmation of the Plan, except to
wind down. All of the assets of the Debtor will be distributed as
expeditiously as possible, and the Debtor will cease business. The
Debtor owns the building located at 57-18 Myrtle Ave., Ridgewood,
New York (the "Property") which is leased to Myrtle Wdy LLC d/b/a
Wendy's (the "Tenant") pursuant to a lease dated August 1, 2021,
(the "Lease").

The Debtor filed for bankruptcy because the Property was being
foreclosed upon by TD Bank, N.A. (the "Secured Lender" or "TD
Bank"). Debtor, through the real estate brokerage firm Marcus and
Millichap (the "Broker"), identified a qualified purchaser for the
Property that it believes has offered the highest and best offer
for the Property after many months of marketing. Debtor filed a
sale motion to sell the property for $1,830,000, free and clear of
all liens and encumbrances (the "Sale Motion").

It is expected that the Sale Motion will be approved since the
proceeds of the sale will be sufficient to pay the Secured Lender
and the Debtor's other known creditors as well as administrative
expenses. No distributions will be made in violation of the
"absolute priority rule".

Class 3-Unsecured Claims. The U.S. Small Business Admin. Has a
claim amount of $12,051.03 with allowed claim of $12,051.03. The
claim of Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless in the amount of
$2,122.68 is disputed (funds will be escrowed until the Court
determines the validity of the claim).

The Sale closing date is expected to be August 15, 2024 (the
"Closing Date") to Xiaohong LI & Ian Alberts, or assigns (the
"Purchaser") for $1,830,000 once the Plan is confirmed. A deposit
of $65,000 was received upon entering into the sale contract and is
being held by counsel to the Debtor with the balance to be paid on
the Closing Date. An order for the sale of the Property free and
clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances is expected to be
entered by the Bankruptcy Court on August 15, 2024 (the "Sale
Order").

The Debtor will not be operating after the sale of the Property;
however, it will make final distributions and file final operating
reports (or affidavits) and take all necessary action to close the
chapter 11 case, expeditiously.

Pursuant to Sections 1125 and 1128 of the Bankruptcy Code, the
Bankruptcy Court has scheduled a hearing to consider the Debtor's
request for (1) final approval of the Disclosure Statement and (b)
Confirmation of the Plan on August 15, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. before
the Honorable Jill Mazer-Marino, 278-B Cadman Plaza East, Brooklyn,
New York (the "Confirmation Hearing").

A full-text copy of the Disclosure Statement dated July 8, 2024 is
available at https://urlcurt.com/u?l=UQg0s4 from PacerMonitor.com
at no charge.

                   About The Burger Building

The Burger Building, LLC, is the fee simple owner of a property
located at 5718 Myrtle Ave, Ridgewood, N.Y. The property is valued
at $1.8 million.

The Debtor sought protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. E.D.N.Y. Case No. 23-40481) on Feb. 13,
2023, with $2,317,238 in assets and $1,614,216 in liabilities. Paul
Amato, managing member, signed the petition.

Judge Jil Mazer-Marino oversees the case.

H. Bruce Bronson, Esq., at Bronson Law Office, P.C., is the

CALAMP: Trustee, SEC Say Co. Can't Ditch Claims Post-Purdue Ruling
------------------------------------------------------------------
Alex Wittenberg of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the U.S. Trustee say
CalAmp Corp. can't nix claims post-Purdue.

Two federal agencies have objected to third-party releases in

a Delaware bankruptcy judge that the U.S. Supreme Court's recent
ruling in Purdue Pharma bars the company from extinguishing claims
against nondebtors without shareholders' consent.

COROTOMAN INC: 4th Cir. Sends Dispute to W.Va. Appeals Court
------------------------------------------------------------
The Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia must resolve a
certified question of law in the breach contract dispute captioned
as COROTOMAN, INC., Plaintiff - Appellant. v. CENTRAL WEST VIRGINIA
REGIONAL AIRPORT AUTHORITY, INC., Defendant - Appellant., No.
23-1873 (4th Cir.), said Judge Roger L. Gregory, writing for the
United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.

The question of law to be answered is: "Whether, in the appropriate
case, West Virginia courts would apply the gross disproportionality
rule to limit an injured party's damages in a breach of a
construction contract dispute; and, if so, how gross
disproportionality is calculated, which party (the breaching party
or the injured party) bears the burden of proving gross
disproportionality and the specific amount of the alternative form
of damages, and what is the consequence of that party failing to
meet its burden."

According to the Fourth Circuit, resolution of this question is
outcome determinative in the present appeal, as the appropriate
award of damages is conclusively resolved by the applicability of
the gross disproportionality rule and the burden of proof if the
rule applies.

There is no controlling court decision, constitutional provision,
or statute of West Virginia answering this question, rendering it
appropriate for certification, the Appellate Court states.

The Central West Virginia Regional Airport Authority operates the
Yeager Airport in Charleston, West Virginia.  In the mid-2000s, the
Airport Authority decided to remove a large hill (which the parties
refer to as a knoll) at the end of the airport's runway.

The Airport Authority obtained grants from the Federal Aviation
Administration to acquire the property that would be affected by
the project and to complete the construction work to remove the
knoll. Corotoman owned some of the property that the Airport
Authority sought to acquire.

The parties negotiated an agreement under which, among other
things, the Airport Authority would be allowed to enter Corotoman's
land to remove the knoll, and, after the knoll had been removed,
the Airport Authority would overblast the land to further decrease
the elevation to 35 feet below the ground level established by
removing the knoll.  The knoll-removal project was completed per
the Airport Authority's requirements, but the overblast was never
done.

Corotoman sued the Airport Authority in 2019, alleging breach of
contract.  In January 2022, the United States District Court for
the Southern District of West Virginia granted Corotoman's motion
for partial summary judgment, concluding that the undisputed facts
established that the Airport Authority had breached the agreement
by failing to overblast the land, and that no valid defenses
excused the breach.

The Fourth Circuit points out the district court applied the gross
disproportionality rule to this case and then concluded that
Corotoman was entitled only to nominal damages because the record
was devoid of evidence of the diminution in value resulting from
the Airport Authority's breach.  The question before the Appellate
Court is whether the district court erred in applying the gross
disproportionality rule, and, if not, to which party's detriment
the lack of evidence in the record inures.

The Airport Authority argues West Virginia courts have expressly
recognized the gross disproportionality rule and points to two
cases.

Contrary to the Airport Authority's contention, however, these
cases do not actually enshrine the gross disproportionality rule in
West Virginia law, the Fourth Circuit holds.  In Steinbrecher v.
Jones, the court stated only that the gross disproportionality
rule, recognized in "some states," was "not involved under the
facts presented by the evidence produced at the trial held in this
present case, so [the court did] not need to discuss it." 153
S.E.2d at 304, the Fourth Circuit notes, and in Trenton
Construction Co. v. Straub, the court cited its discussion in
Steinbrecher and again concluded that the gross disproportionality
rule was "not involved under the facts presented at trial" because
the cost was "clearly not disproportionate to the value of the
Straubs' home and the trial court was correct in applying the cost
of repair rule", the Fourth Circuit states.

Neither case can fairly be read as resolving the applicability of
the gross disproportionality rule under West Virginia law, the
Fourth Circuit concludes.

CORUS ENTERTAINMENT: S&P Lowers ICR to 'CCC' on Tight Liquidity
---------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings lowered the issuer credit rating on Corus
Entertainment Inc. to 'CCC' from 'B-'. S&P also revised its
liquidity assessment to less than adequate from adequate.

S&P said, "At the same time, we lowered the issue-level rating on
the secured term loan to 'B-' from 'B+' and unsecured notes to
'CCC-' from 'B-'. We revised the recovery rating on the notes to
'5' (10%-30%; rounded estimate: 10%) from '4' (30%-50%), reflecting
a downward revision to Corus' enterprise value at default."

The negative outlook reflects the likelihood of a default or a debt
restructuring initiative within the next 12 months. The company's
liquidity remains pressured, exacerbated by tight covenant
headroom.

S&P said, "Corus could face liquidity shortfall within 12 months.
We forecast a combination of lower EBITDA and higher cash outflows
(primarily related to programming spend) will result in free cash
flow deficits the next few quarters. The nonrenewal of the Warner
Brother Discovery programming contract is expected to accelerate
the decline in EBITDA further through fiscal 2025. In addition,
Corus' total debt-to-EBITDA ratio covenant drops to 4.25x starting
Sept. 1 2024. We expect that Corus will not be able to comply with
the covenant which, in turn, will restrict the company's access to
its revolving credit facility. We understand there is about C$30
million available on the facility as of June 1, 2024. As of May 31,
2024, Corus had about C$67 million of cash on balance sheet and we
estimate the company will likely produce break-even free cash flow
or modest deficits in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 (ending
August 2024). We therefore believe that Corus will have to rely on
its balance sheet cash for its operational needs and mandatory debt
amortization. With no liquidity cushion, we believe Corus is
vulnerable to market weakness and/or operational missteps. Corus
has issued going-concern uncertainty and highlighted the
possibility of covenant breach in its financial reports for the
fourth quarter 2024. Finally, the company's senior unsecured bonds
are trading significantly below par at 43 cents and 38 cents,
arguably emphasizing the company's financial stress, weakened
access to capital, and potential for a debt restructuring event."

Cash flow visibility remains very weak and uncertain for the next
several quarters. Corus' continues to face operating performance
pressures against the backdrop of a challenging linear TV
advertising and competitive digital advertising environment amid
ongoing linear TV subscriber losses. The non-renewal of certain
programming arrangements with Warner Bros Discovery announced June
2024 (starting in January 2025) is expected to exacerbate the
pressures on company revenues and EBITDA. Despite being the
seasonally strong quarter, the company's revenues for fiscal third
quarter ended May 31, 2024, declined by 16% and EBITDA dropped by
30% compared to the same period last year and we expect the revenue
trend to continue. To the extent demand for traditional advertising
continues to be strained, there is significant uncertainty that
Corus' revenue losses will not be contained and will face
sharper-than-expected revenue and EBITDA declines.

S&P said, "We expect Corus will incur significant cash spending on
film and TV content as production returns to more historical levels
in fiscal 2025. We note that cash spending without any offsetting
revenue growth will drain free-operating cash flows. Therefore, in
our view, Corus' cash flow generating capacity will deteriorate
very quickly absent any unforeseen favorable positive development
in its operating environment. As a result, we now expect free cash
flow deficits for 2025 as compared to our previous estimate of
modestly positive free cash flow."

Benefits of several initiatives are insufficient to offset the
revenues losses. Corus has embarked on a significant cost-cutting
strategy, mainly selling, general and administrative costs, which
could result in C$80 million-C$85 million annualized savings.
Furthermore, Corus plans to optimize its television and radio
channels to right-size the business and appeal to audiences. Other
potential cash support, include some cash benefits from the new
streamer-sourced funding beginning in fiscal 2025 and local news
funding from Google and benefits from lower spending toward
programming of public interest (relief provided by Canadian
Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission on May 14).
However, there is significant uncertainty on the quantum and timing
of realizing these benefits. Furthermore, these benefits might be
insufficient to offset the cash flow deterioration from weakening
EBITDA.

The negative outlook reflects the likelihood of a default or a debt
restructuring initiative within the next 12 months. The company's
liquidity remains pressured, exacerbated by tight covenant
headroom.

S&P Said, "We could lower the ratings if wider free cash flow
deficits erode liquidity leading us to believe a restructuring
transaction or default is imminent.

"Although unlikely within the next year or two, we could revise the
outlook to stable should Corus be able to successfully address its
weakened liquidity position, including sustaining adequate covenant
cushion. We would also have to believe the company can minimize its
free cash flow deficits for the next 12-18 months through actions
including successful channel rebranding and asset- and
cost-rationalizing initiatives."



CURO GROUP: Moves to Smaller Office Space, Cuts Workforce in Ch. 11
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Josh Witt of Wichita Business Journal reports that amid bankruptcy
process, Curo Group moves to smaller Wichita office space; local
employee count dips.

At the end of 2022, Curo Group Holdings shifted its headquarters
from Wichita to Chicago but had maintained its 3615 N. Ridge Road
office (seen here) in the northwest part of the city until a recent
move. The company's corporate headquarters have also now moved to
South Carolina.

A year and a half after Curo Group Holdings formally moved its
headquarters out of Wichita, the company has downsized its local
office footprint.

Recently, the consumer lending company moved out of the 14,400
square-foot building at 3615 N. Ridge Road and into 9,600 square
feet at 7330 W. 33rd St. North. Curo now occupies Suite 106 in the
property that sits less than a mile south of its previous office
and just off of Ridge Road.

The move comes as Curo continues the Chapter 11 bankruptcy process.
Tied to a significant debt burden, the company filed for bankruptcy
protection in March 2024.

"We continue to optimize our footprint in Wichita, balancing our
employees' desire for remote environments," a Curo spokesperson
said in a statement, adding that most of the company's local team
primarily works away from the office.

Curo confirmed its current Wichita employee count stands at 86 —
down from 104 in the spring when it filed for bankruptcy.

Across the U.S. and Canada, Curo's number of employees has gone
from nearly 2,900 to about 2,600.

Chapter 11 bankruptcy enables a company to restructure its creditor
obligations with the the goal of remaining in business.

In May 2024, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of
Texas approved Curo's reorganization plan, which was also
recognized by courts in Canada.

The plan will relieve approximately $1 billion in debt and at least
$75 million of annual interest obligations. It also provides for
full payment on the allowed claims of general unsecured creditors.

"Obtaining approval of our plan from the courts in the U.S. and
Canada marks a pivotal moment for Curo, a milestone we should
celebrate as we move into the final stages to emerge from Chapter
11," Curo CEO Doug Clark said in a May news release. "This
achievement would not have been possible without the collaboration
and support from our lenders, employees, customers, partners,
vendors, creditors and shareholders. The joint effort from this
diverse and expansive Curo community is one of our greatest
strengths and will be integral for our next phase as we reinforce
our competitive industry position."

At that time, the company said it expected to exit bankruptcy by
the end of June. That has not yet occurred, with a spokesperson
saying the exit is still anticipated "as soon as possible pending
normal course regulatory approvals."

This year 2024 has also seen Curo again relocate its corporate
headquarters, which are now in Greenville, S.C., following a stint
in Chicago.

It's not immediately clear what the next steps will be for the 3615
N. Ridge Road property. City-county records show the building is
owned by CDM Development LLC, whose principal office is based in
Wichita.

This year's bankruptcy filing marked one of the most significant
points yet in a turbulent recent period for Curo.

Earlier this month, the New York Stock Exchange suspended trading
of Curo's stock (NYSE: CURO) as it commenced delisting proceedings.
Last fall, the NYSE warned the company it was no longer in
compliance with the exchange's continued listing standards due to
its stock trading below $1 per share for an extended period of time
and its global market capitalization and stockholders’ equity
levels.

Curo reported a net loss for every quarter of 2023, and it saw its
credit rating downgraded by Moody's in February.

In recent years, the company revamped its C-suite and made changes
to its board as it embarked on what it framed as a "strategic
shift" to more favorable credit risk products that are lower
yielding and longer term. As part of that effort, in 2022 Curo sold
its legacy U.S. direct lending business — which included Speedy
Cash — to Community Choice Financial.

Despite that move and others, Curo said in bankruptcy filings that
struggles with refinancing efforts "left the company cash strapped"
and that led to the company not making interest payments in early
2024 on two tranches of debt. From there, it ramped up financing
alternatives that included a comprehensive restructuring.

"Energy services firms have the opportunity to acquire any of more
than 75 compressor skids by sought-after brands such as Ajax, Ariel
and Gemini," noted Chad Farrell, Managing Director, Tiger
Commercial & Industrial. "We also anticipate strong buyer interest
in available lots such as air-cooled heat exchangers by
Air-X-Changer, multiple Kato generator sets, pumps, blowout
preventers and a wide variety of downhole and fishing tools."

Bidders can participate in the timed, online auction—with no
Buyer's Premium—which closes on July 30, at the following site:

"Power tools, trailers, a Mack gin pole/winch truck and trailers by
Taylor and Toyota are part of what make this sale a strong
opportunity for companies outside of the energy services sector,"
added Wayne Hecht, Senior Director of Operations at Tiger
Commercial & Industrial.

Gulfport, Mississippi-based El Dorado filed for Chapter 11 this
past December in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of Mississippi. The company held a diverse array of
equipment at 37 locations.

FTX DIGITAL MARKET: Asks Court to Block Celsius Lawsuit
-------------------------------------------------------
Emlyn Cameron of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that the
foreign representatives of FTX Digital Markets Ltd. asked a
Delaware bankruptcy judge to block the litigation administrator of
Celsius Network LLC from suing the company in New York, saying the
purpose of the Chapter 15 case is to avoid precisely this kind of
assault.

                   About FTX Digital Markets Ltd.

Commonwealth of The Bahamas and operates as a digital assets
business under the Digital Assets and Registered Exchanges Act,

FTX GROUP: Court Sets to Sentence 2 Cooperators in SBF Case in Fall
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Elliot Weld of Law360 reports that two former FTX executives who
pled guilty and testified for the government at the trial of Sam
Bankman-Fried, the collapsed cryptocurrency exchange's founder,
will be sentenced this fall, a New York federal judge said Tuesday,
July 9, 2024.

                         About FTX Group

FTX is the world's second-largest cryptocurrency firm. FTX is a
cryptocurrency exchange built by traders, for traders. FTX offers
innovative products including industry-first derivatives, options,
volatility products and leveraged tokens.

Then CEO and co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried said Nov. 10, 2022, that
FTX paused customer withdrawals after it was hit with roughly $5
billion worth of withdrawal requests.

Faced with liquidity issues, FTX on Nov. 9, 2022, struck a deal to
sell itself to its giant rival Binance, but Binance walked away
from the deal amid reports on FTX regarding mishandled customer
funds and alleged US agency investigations. Bankman-Fried agreed to
step aside, and restructuring vet John J. Ray III was quickly
named
new CEO.

FTX Trading Ltd (d/b/a FTX.com), West Realm Shires Services Inc.
(d/b/a FTX US), Alameda Research Ltd. and certain affiliated
companies then commenced Chapter 11 proceedings (Bankr. D. Del.
Lead Case No. 22-11068) on an emergency basis on Nov. 11, 2022.
Additional entities sought Chapter 11 protection on Nov. 14, 2022.

FTX Trading and its affiliates each listed $10 billion to $50
billion in assets and liabilities, making FTX the biggest
bankruptcy filer in the US this year.  

According to Reuters, SBF shared a document with investors on Nov.
10, 2022, showing FTX had $13.86 billion in liabilities and $14.6
billion in assets. However, only $900 million of those assets were
liquid, leading to the cash crunch that ended with the company
filing for bankruptcy.

The Hon. John T. Dorsey is the case judge.

The Debtors tapped Sullivan & Cromwell, LLP as bankruptcy counsel;
Landis Rath & Cobb, LLP as local counsel; and Alvarez & Marsal
North America, LLC as financial advisor. Kroll is the claims agent,
maintaining the page https://cases.ra.kroll.com/FTX/Home-Index

The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors tapped Paul Hastings
as counsel, FTI Consulting, Inc., as financial advisor, and
Jefferies LLC as the investment banker. Young Conaway Stargatt &
Taylor LLP is the Committee's Delaware and conflicts counsel.

Montgomery McCracken Walker & Rhoads LLP, led by partners Gregory
T. Donilon, Edward L. Schnitzer, and David M. Banker, is
representing Sam Bankman-Fried in the Chapter 11 cases.

White-collar crime specialist Mark S. Cohen has reportedly been
hired to represent SBF in litigation. Lawyers at Paul Weiss
previously represented SBF but later renounced representing the
entrepreneur due to a conflict of interest.


FUSION LLC: Barracuda, et al. Lose Bid for Judgment on Pleadings
----------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Nathaniel M. Gorton of the United States District Court for
the District of Massachusetts denied the motion of Barracuda
Networks, Inc. and Sonian, Inc. for judgment on the pleadings in
the case filed by Axis Insurance Co., Fusion, LLC's insurer,
relating to a data breach that compromised certain confidential,
protected health information -- PHI -- of more than 277,000
patients of Zoll Services LLC, an indirect subsidiary of Zoll
Medical.

Fusion, LLC provides hosted business communications products.  In
2012, Apptix, Inc., now a subsidiary of Fusion, contracted with
Sonian, which has merged with Barracuda, to provide its customers
with software and related services for the management of customer
communications and emails.  At about the same time, Fusion entered
into a Hosting Services Agreement with Zoll to provide it with
hosted communications services.

In November 2018, a Barracuda employee allegedly left a data port
open in its system during a standard migration of data within its
network. In the approximately seven weeks until the error was
detected, the PHI of Zoll patients was apparently accessed by
unauthorized third parties.  Barracuda advised Fusion of the data
breach in January 2019, although Fusion contends Barracuda
misrepresented the extent of the breach. Fusion also alleges
Barracuda misrepresented that its data management enabled customers
to (1) identify and reduce risks and (2) provide "reasonable and
readily available security protocols and products."

In June 2019, Fusion filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in
the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New
York.  A reorganization plan was confirmed in January 2020.

The plan allowed Zoll to seek damages from Fusion for harm suffered
as a result of the data breach "to the extent of available
insurance coverage and proceeds."

Zoll initiated arbitration with Fusion in March 2020, asserting
claims for negligence and breach of contract.  Zoll also attempted
to assert claims against Barracuda which were dismissed for lack of
privity.  Zoll's insurer, Ace American Insurance Co., paid Zoll on
its claims for damages incurred due to the data breach and was
subrogated as the real party in interest in the arbitration.  Axis
confirmed coverage of claims against Fusion related to the data
breach and provided a defense against those claims.

In November 2020, Zoll initiated this action against Barracuda in
the District of Massachusetts.  Fusion moved to intervene as a Rule
20 party shortly thereafter and its motion was allowed in June
2021.

Zoll, Ace, Fusion and Axis settled the claims at issue in their
arbitration in November 2021.  Pursuant to their settlement, any
claims that Zoll/Ace had against Barracuda in connection with the
data breach were assigned to Axis and any such claims that Fusion
had were subrogated to Axis.  Axis, the remaining real party in
interest in the case at bar, was substituted as the plaintiff in
April 2022, at which time Fusion and Zoll were dismissed as
parties.

Now, Barracuda moves for judgment on the pleadings principally
contending that Fusion's claims should be estopped.  According to
the Court, the motion is suffused with equitable concerns.
Defendants move for judgment on the pleadings based on judicial
estoppel. They contend that the failure of plaintiff to disclose
the claims in the instant case in its 2019 bankruptcy proceeding
constitutes an assertion that those claims do not exist and thus,
are barred by judicial estoppel.

Plaintiff rejoins that defendants have been unscrupulous themselves
in disclosing necessary information, namely, that they failed to
cite estoppel among the affirmative defenses in their answer or
raise estoppel in their motion to dismiss.  That oversight,
according to plaintiff, constitutes a prejudicial surprise and
contravenes the obligation under Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(c)(1) to state
all affirmative defenses, including estoppel.

Defendants first gave notice of the judicial estoppel defense via
email in August 2023, two months before it filed the instant
motion.  That notice came long after its motion to dismiss Fusion's
Rule 20 complaint was filed in June 2021 and the complaint was
answered in February 2022.

The delay carried well into discovery, which itself was delayed
several times due to the protracted dispute over the archived
emails and the subsequent motions to compel, quash and for a
protective order. Two weeks after defendant filed its motion for
judgment on the pleadings, the Court extended discovery for the
final time to January 2024.  Accordingly, the 18-month delay in
staging the judicial estoppel defense came at the end of an
already-extended discovery period.

Defendants contend that their general pleading that plaintiff
failed to state a claim sufficed to state the judicial estoppel
defense and that they "contextualized" that pleading with their
August 2023 email, which gave specific notice of the judicial
estoppel defense.  The Court disagrees.  The complaint itself
mentioned the bankruptcy proceedings, which form the basis of the
judicial estoppel defense, in only two paragraphs, the Court
states.  Those paragraphs provided mere background and did not
relate to the core allegations in the complaint.  There is little
reason to believe that plaintiff would have "clearly anticipate[d]"
that a judicial estoppel defense would be litigated, the Court
concludes.  Accordingly, the delay constituted an unfair surprise,
the Court notes.

The Court finds the substantial and unexplained delay in staging
the judicial estoppel defense has prejudiced plaintiff's ability to
respond to the defense in contravention of Rule 8(c).

GB SCIENCES: Small-Howard Succeeds Poss as CEO, CFO and Chairman
----------------------------------------------------------------
GB Sciences, Inc. announced the passing of Mr. John Poss, chief
executive officer, chief financial officer and chairman of the
Board of Directors of the Company, on July 10, 2024.  Mr. Poss had
battled through serious health issues and had served the Company
since 2015.

As a part of the Company's succession plan, which was created due
to the failing health of Mr. Poss, Dr. Andrea Small-Howard was
promoted to CEO, CFO and Chairman of the Board.  Dr. Small-Howard
has overseen the day-to-day operations of the company in her role
as president for the past three years.   In addition, Dr.
Small-Howard will continue to leverage her expertise in bringing
novel biopharmaceutical products from ideation through
commercialization. Dr. Small-Howard is a founding board member of
GB Sciences, and she is the architect of the strategic vision at GB
Sciences to make safe, effective, and standardized cannabinoid
medicines available to patients where their use can be supported
with rigorous evidence.

GB Sciences is grateful to Mr. Poss for his many years of service.
He joined GB Sciences as the chief financial officer in August of
2015, prior to serving as GB Sciences' CEO and Chairman for eight
years.

                              About GB Sciences

Headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, GB Sciences, Inc. is a
plant-inspired, biopharmaceutical research and development company
creating patented, disease-targeted formulations of cannabis- and
other plant-inspired therapeutic mixtures for the prescription drug
market through its wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, GbS Global
Biopharma, Inc.

GB Sciences said in its Quarterly Report for the period ended Dec.
31, 2023, that "The Company will need additional capital to
implement its strategies. There is no assurance that it will be
able to raise the amount of capital needed for future growth plans.
Even if financing is available, it may not be on terms that are
acceptable. If unable to raise the necessary capital at the times
required, the Company may have to materially change the business
plan, including delaying implementation of aspects of the business
plan or curtailing or abandoning the business plan. In order to be
able to achieve the strategic goals, the Company needs to further
expand its business and financing activities. Based on the
Company's cash position, it is necessary to raise additional
capital by the end of the next quarter in order to continue to fund
current operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the
ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is pursuing
several alternatives to address this situation, including the
raising of additional funding through equity or debt financing. In
order to finance existing operations and pay current liabilities
over the next twelve months, the Company will need to raise
additional capital. No assurance can be given that the Company will
be able to operate profitably on a consistent basis, or at all, in
the future."


HIGHTOWER HOLDING: S&P Rates Unsec. Notes 'CCC', Affirms 'B-' ICR
-----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'CCC' rating to HighTower Holding
LLC's proposed unsecured issuance. The recovery rating on the
unsecured debt is '6' (0%) indicating its expectation for a
negligible recovery in the event of a default. In addition S&P
raised its recovery rating on HighTower's secured debt to '3' from
'4', indicating a meaningful recovery in the event of a default,
and affirmed the 'B-' issue rating on the secured debt.

At the same time, S&P affirmed its 'B-' issuer credit rating on
HighTower.

The outlook remains stable, indicating S&P's expectation that
HighTower will continue to operate with EBITDA interest coverage
over 1.5x and debt to EBITDA of 5x-8x while it continues to grow
both organically and through M&A.

HighTower Holding is issuing $400 million senior unsecured notes
due 2030, which we expect it will use for general corporate
purposes, including mergers and acquisitions (M&A).

The proposed issuance increases HighTower's gross debt to
approximately $2.2 billion, including approximately $1.4 billion
secured debt; $700 million unsecured debt, pro forma for the
transaction; and $85 million drawn on the revolver as of March 31,
2024.

S&P said, "However, we expect incremental EBITDA from signed M&A to
offset the impact to HighTower's credit metrics. Additionally, the
recently proposed repricing of the company's term loan will
slightly offset the additional interest expense. We expect
HighTower to continue to operate with EBITDA interest coverage
above 1.5x and debt to EBITDA of 5x-8x, and to maintain adequate
liquidity pro forma for the transactions.

"While we don't include in our forecasts acquisitions beyond what
HighTower will finance with the proposed transaction, we expect the
company to remain acquisitive.

"We could lower the rating if operating performance or markets
deteriorate, or if interest rates increase beyond our base-case
expectations such that interest coverage declines to 1.5x. We could
also lower the rating if liquidity becomes strained."



HILLIARD HOTELS: Court Thwarts Hilton Bid to Cancel Franchise
-------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Mina Nami Khorrami of the United States Bankruptcy Court for
the Southern District of Ohio entered a Memorandum Opinion and
Order denying, in part, Hilton Franchise Holding LLC's motion for
relief from the automatic stay in Hilliard Hotels, LLC's bankruptcy
case.

The Court further held that the automatic stay imposed by 11 U.S.C.
Sec. 362(a) is continued in effect until the final hearing on all
remaining matters related to the motion is held or the Court orders
otherwise.

The Debtor and Hilton entered into a franchise agreement June 30,
2017, that authorizes the Debtor to operate a 94-room hotel as a
Hampton Inn by Hilton which is located at 1600 Hampton Court,
Sidney, Ohio, and as a result the Debtor is operating under the
Hampton Inn brand.  The Franchise Agreement authorizes the Debtor
to use trademarks and operational systems owned by Hilton, and as
such is a valuable asset to the Debtor and its bankruptcy estate.
Consequently, the Debtor intends on assuming the Franchise
Agreement and does not intend on assigning it.

At some point prior to the bankruptcy filing, Hilton informed the
Debtor that certain repairs and improvements to the Hampton Inn
were required for it to satisfy the Brand Standards.  Consequently,
the Debtor agreed to a property improvement plan that required the
Debtor to make certain renovations to the Hampton Inn within a
specified time.  To date, the Debtor has spent over $1.5 million to
comply with the PIP.  According to Hilton, however, the Debtor
failed to make the necessary repairs and improvements to the
Hampton Inn within the timeline provided in the PIP and is in
violation of the Franchise Agreement as a result.  Hilton then
filed the Motion requesting relief from the automatic stay pursuant
to 11 U.S.C. Sec. 362(d)(1) to terminate the Franchise Agreement.

Hilton argues that the Franchise Agreement cannot be assumed by the
Debtor because applicable non-bankruptcy law (i.e., The Lanham Act,
15 U.S.C. Secs. 1051-1141n) prohibits the assignability of the
Franchise Agreement and Hilton does not consent to the Franchise
Agreement being assumed.  Hilton urges the Court to interpret 11
U.S.C. Sec. 365(c)(1) in such a way that it must conclude the
Debtor is precluded from assuming the Franchise Agreement as a
matter of law even though the Debtor has no intention of assigning
the Franchise Agreement.  

On March 27, 2024, the Court held a preliminary hearing on the
Motion at which Caitlin Conklin appeared on behalf of Hilton and
Ira Thomsen and Denis Blasius appeared on behalf of the Debtor.
The single issue before the Court at this time is whether 11 U.S.C.
Sec. 365(c)(1) as a matter of law prohibits the Debtor from
assuming a franchise agreement with Hilton even though the Debtor
has not yet sought to assume the agreement and has no intention of
assigning the agreement to a nondebtor entity.

The Franchise Agreement is the vehicle through which the Debtor is
authorized to operate its hotel as a Hampton Inn.  According to the
Court, if the Debtor is not able to assume the Franchise Agreement,
it will be forced to expend funds to remove Hilton's trademarks and
operational systems and the value of the Debtor's estate will
arguably decrease resulting in less income being available to fund
a plan of reorganization.  This decrease in the value of the
Debtor's estate not only impacts the Debtor but also the entire
creditor body, the Court states.  Clearly, the Franchise Agreement
is a valuable asset to the Debtor in this case, and the ability to
assume the Franchise Agreement will significantly impact the
ability of the Debtor to reorganize.  Denying the Debtor an
opportunity to assume the Franchise Agreement when the Debtor has
no intention of assigning it will stymie any efforts by the Debtor
to reorganize, the Court finds. And it is contrary to some of the
most fundamental objectives of chapter 11 relief—maximizing the
value of the bankruptcy estate for the benefit of creditors and the
successful reorganization of the debtor, the Court notes.

Accordingly, the Court concludes the Debtor is not precluded, as a
matter of law, from assuming the franchise agreement with Hilton
and that 11 U.S.C. Sec. 365(c)(1) should be interpreted to apply
the "actual test," as application of the "actual test" is
consistent with the plain meaning of the statute and promotes the
objectives of chapter 11 relief and the Bankruptcy Code when a
debtor intends to assume an executory contract but not assign it.

KRONOS WORLDWIDE: S&P Upgrades ICR to 'B-', Outlook Stable
----------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings raised its issuer credit rating on Kronos
Worldwide Inc. to 'B-' from 'CCC+'.

S&P said, "We raised the issue-level rating on Kronos' senior
secured notes, including the EUR75 million add-on, to 'B+' from
'B'. The recovery rating remains '1' (rounded estimate: 90%).

"The stable outlook reflects our view that global macroeconomic
demand will continue to improve, strengthening Kronos' performance
and credit measures. We expect the company's metrics to be
appropriate for the rating after incorporating high volatility in
the titanium dioxide sector over the next year."

Kronos announced its intention to purchase the remaining 50% of the
Louisiana Pigment Co. L.P. (LPC) JV from Venator for $185 million.
The company intends to use a combination of new senior secured
notes add-on and revolving credit facility (RCF) borrowings to fund
the proposed acquisition. In addition, Kronos' performance over the
past couple quarters has rebounded from an extremely weak 2023 and
S&P expects credit metrics will continue improving in 2024.

"We believe Kronos Worldwide Inc.'s credit metrics will continue to
rebound in 2024 from trough levels in 2023. EBITDA and margins
strengthened in the first quarter of 2024, and we expect continued
improvement throughout the rest of the year. We now anticipate
Kronos' credit metrics such as funds from operations (FFO) to debt
to be in the 15%-20% range over the next 12 months. If Kronos'
performance is weaker than our current expectations, we still
anticipate the company's metrics to be appropriate for the rating.
The stronger performance was primarily the result of lower
production costs (due to savings in energy and raw materials) and
lower unabsorbed fixed costs (due to higher utilization because of
higher demand and production volumes). However, this was partially
offset by lower TiO2 average selling prices and a marginal increase
in SG&A due to increased sales volumes. Moreover, Kronos' business
is more susceptible to weakened demand across Europe than some of
its peers, as Europe accounted for approximately 44% of sales in
2023.

"We expect Kronos' performance to benefit from the LPC acquisition.
We anticipate the company capturing synergies and growing its North
American customer base with the additional footprint of 100%
ownership of LPC. Furthermore, we expect added overhead costs to be
minimal since the company has experience operating 50% of LPC.
However, we anticipate slightly elevated debt levels in the near
term as the company issues EUR75 million and draws on the RCF to
close the transaction." As part of the transaction, Kronos upsized
its RCF borrowing base to $300 million from $225 million. As of
March 31st, Kronos had full availability under its RCF.

Kronos is one of the top five producers of titanium dioxide. The
company benefits from demand in key end markets, such as housing
and architectural coatings, which use the company's products in
applications like paints and coatings. Still, we consider titanium
dioxide a cyclical commodity with potentially volatile earnings
over the long run. Furthermore, Kronos is more susceptible to
downturns and higher raw materials costs than some of its
competitors. The Chemours Co. has two other segments that can help
stabilize earnings during periods of volatility and Tronox Ltd.'s
vertical integration protects it from increased raw material
costs.

S&P said, "We consider Kronos' operations within its larger group
under parent Valhi Inc. The group's financials and credit metrics
are correlated with those of Kronos because it accounts for over
80% of Valhi's earnings and revenue. The rating on Kronos, which we
currently consider stronger than that of its parent, is capped at
our 'B-' rating on Valhi.

"The stable outlook on Kronos reflects our expectation that the
group's credit measures will remain appropriate for the rating
after incorporating high volatility in the titanium dioxide sector.
Our base-case scenario assumes the global economy improves in 2024
relative to 2023. We anticipate the end of destocking and higher
demand will continue to benefit the company's performance in 2024.
Our rating continues to reflect our expectation for high volatility
in the company's credit measures. We consider FFO to debt slightly
above 5% during downturns appropriate for the rating. We believe
the group's ratios will be in the 15%-20% range over the next
couple years due to improved demand and the additional EBITDA from
the LPC acquisition. We expect Kronos will maintain adequate
liquidity and that management will maintain a prudent approach to
funding growth and returns to shareholders."

S&P could lower its rating on Kronos during the next 12 months if:

-- S&P expects weighted-average metrics at the group level, such
as debt to EBITDA exceeding 8x or FFO to debt sustained below 5%
with no near-term remedy, which it considers weak factoring the
volatile nature of the titanium dioxide sector. This could occur if
the company's sales deteriorate against its expectations, leading
EBITDA margins to underperform our forecast by at least 200 basis
points (bps); or

-- Kronos uses additional debt to fund its growth plans or
shareholder returns, or free cash flow turns negative for an
extended period, which would pressure the group's liquidity.

S&P could raise its ratings on Kronos over the next year if:

-- Its group's performance improves; and

-- The company's 2024 earnings outperform our expectations.

S&P said, "Under this scenario, we would expect the group's
weighted-average FFO to debt to remain in the high-teens percent
range or its discounted cash flow to debt to exceed 12% on a
sustained basis even after factoring in potential downturns in
pricing and demand. However, we would also expect management to
commit to financial policies that would maintain these improved
credit measures.

"Environmental, social, and governance factors are a moderately
negative consideration in our credit rating analysis of Kronos. The
company's production of a commodity product and subject to scrutiny
and regulations related to carbon dioxide emissions, waste, and
pollution. The company, like peers, has to deal with a recent
classification of its key product as a category 2 carcinogen under
certain conditions. For example, in the EU, a situation could lead
to customer scrutiny and result potentially in some constraints on
future growth.

"Our view on governance includes the company's controlling
ownership by Valhi, which could potentially result in corporate
decision making that prioritizes the interest of the controlling
owner."

-------------------------------------------------------

cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended Friday, July 19, 2024,
according to Bloomberg's Evaluated Pricing service data.

The $3.18 billion Term loan facility is scheduled to mature on July
27, 2028. The amount is fully drawn and outstanding.

Magenta Buyer, LLC (McAfee) is a provider of cybersecurity software
that derives revenue from the sale of security products,

services.


MAGENTA BUYER: $750MM Bank Debt Trades at 71% Discount
------------------------------------------------------
Participations in a syndicated loan under which Magenta Buyer LLC
is a borrower were trading in the secondary market around 29
cents-on-the-dollar during the week ended Friday, July 19, 2024,
according to Bloomberg's Evaluated Pricing service data.

The $750 million Term loan facility is scheduled to mature on July
27, 2029. The amount is fully drawn and outstanding.

Magenta Buyer, LLC (McAfee) is a provider of cybersecurity software
that derives revenue from the sale of security products,

MAGENTA BUYER: S&P Cuts ICR to 'CCC' on Increased Default Risk
--------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings lowered its issuer credit rating on Magenta
Buyer LLC (doing business as Trellix and Skyhigh Security) to 'CCC'
from 'CCC+' and assigned a negative outlook.

S&P said, "At the same time, we lowered our issue-level rating on
the company's first-lien credit facility to 'CCC' from 'CCC+', and
our issue-level rating on its second-lien term loan to 'CC' from
'CCC-'.

"The negative outlook reflects Magenta Buyer's deteriorating
liquidity and our view that Magenta Buyer's capital structure is
unsustainable without meaningful improvements in profitability and
revenues from current levels. We expect 2024 free cash flow to be
negative and the company's liquidity to stay under pressure over
the next 12 months.

"Continued negative free operating cash flow (FOCF) generation,
budget misses, and weak liquidity drive the rating action. We
expect Magenta Buyer's revenue will decline by 3%-4% in fiscal year
2024 (after double-digit revenue declines in 2023), which will
result in negative free cash flow generation with 2024 S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted FOCF to debt of about negative 3%. Although we
expect the company's revenue will stabilize in fiscal year 2025,
our base case is for 2025 free cash flow to be negative as well and
for the company to need additional liquidity over the next 12
months. Magenta faced business challenges in 2022 and 2023, missed
its budget targets, and has cumulatively generated more than $400
million of negative FOCF since fiscal 2022 (over the past 2+ fiscal
years). This further bolsters our view that although the company
has a competitive product portfolio, the current capital structure
is unsustainable and the company would need additional liquidity
sources or debt restructuring within the upcoming 12 months.

"Management's aggressive cost-cutting initiatives will help it
improve its profitability, though not enough to alleviate liquidity
challenges over the next 12 months. Given its ongoing revenue
softness, the company implemented cost-reduction actions during
fiscal year 2023 to improve its profitability. These cost-cutting
measures included a combination of headcount reductions, facility
rationalization, and some cuts in its customer support and
marketing. We project these initiatives will improve S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted leverage to about 8x in fiscal 2024 but not
sufficient to turn free cash flow positive within the next 12
months. We continue to expect the company will face annual cash
interest expense of greater than $500 million (additional interest
expense given that the company has fully drawn on its revolving
credit facility), about $50 million of capital expenditure (capex),
some working capital usage, and about $35 million of annual debt
amortization during fiscal year 2024 and beyond. Based on these
assumptions, we project it will generate negative cash flow after
debt service in 2024 and 2025.

"The negative outlook reflects Magenta Buyer's deteriorating
liquidity and our view that Magenta Buyer's capital structure is
unsustainable without meaningful improvements in profitability and
revenues from current levels. We expect 2024 free cash flow to be
negative and the company's liquidity to stay under pressure over
the next 12 months."



MASTER LENDING: Reaches $7 Million Settlement in Chapter 11 Case
----------------------------------------------------------------
Travis Jaudon of Connect Savannah reports that Settlement agreement
for $7 million reached in Master Lending Group bankruptcy case.

One year after Master Lending Group, LLC (MLG) filed for Chapter 7
bankruptcy in the Southern District Courts of Georgia, a $7 million
"compromise and settlement" has been tentatively reached to recoup
some of the funds from the Savannah-based investment firm founded
by the late Gregory M. Hirsch. According to court documents, the
settlement has the agreement of Hirsch's widowed wife—Judith
Hirsch—and the Trustee assigned to the MLG estate, Tiffany
Caron.

"Due to the costs and uncertainty of litigation, the Trustee
believes it is in the best interest of the bankruptcy estate to
settle with Mrs. Hirsch and her children," reads part of a 21-page
document, including the settlement agreement filed on July 1, 2024,
with a motion to the judge written by Caron. "As a result of the
analysis of the Forensic Team, months of negotiation with Mrs.
Hirsch and the Mediation, the Trustee and Mrs. Hirsch have agreed
on the terms."

MEGNA TEMECULA HACIENDA: Amends Riverside County Secured Claim Pay
------------------------------------------------------------------
Megna Temecula Hacienda De Endar Inn, Inc. submitted a First
Amended Disclosure Statement describing First Amended Chapter 11
Plan dated July 8, 2024.

The Plan proposes to restructure the financial affairs of the
Debtor.

Class 2-A consists of the Secured Claim of Riverside County. Claim
3 will be paid on a monthly basis (with 5% interest) at $1,029.72
per month for a period of 60 months beginning on the Effective
Date. This claim is impaired, and is therefore entitled to vote on
the Plan.

The Amended Disclosure Statement does not alter the proposed
treatment for unsecured creditors and the equity holder:

     * Class 4 General Unsecured Claims consists of general
unsecured claims (claims that are not entitled to priority under
the Bankruptcy Code and that are not secured by collateral). No
unsecured claim was scheduled. One proof of claim for general
unsecured claims was filed: FTB for $424.46. This claim will be
paid in full by Debtor on the Effective Date or as soon thereafter
as practical. This claim is unimpaired and is therefore not
entitled to vote on the Plan.

     * Class 5 consists of Equity Interests. The Debtor is a
corporation; therefore, "interests" means corporate stock. 100% of
the interests in Debtor are owned by Mahmud Ulkarim. No
distribution to or change to that interest is provided by the Plan.
Accordingly, the Class 5 interest holder is unimpaired and not
entitled to vote on the Plan.

This Plan will be funded by payments to Debtor from future net
income derived from its ongoing short-term property rental business
as well as capital infusions from Debtor's principal for any months
that Debtor's net income is not sufficient to cover payments
required by the Plan.

The Debtor previously rented out the Property on a short-term basis
through Airbnb, but stopped doing so to be able to market the
Property for sale. However, the Property has not sold. Debtor has
determined that by reverting to its prior business model,
short-term rentals, the Debtor will be able to generate sufficient
cash flow to be able to make the payments to Center Street and
Riverside County (a total of $18,366.72 per month) and pay the
expenses of operating the Property.

The Debtor will also seek a suitable buyer for a post-confirmation
sale of the Property, for an amount sufficient to satisfy all
allowed claims. If by the end of the repayment term to Center
Street and Riverside County (five years after the Effective Date)
Debtor has not sold the Property, Debtor will refinance it.

A full-text copy of the First Amended Disclosure Statement dated
July 8, 2024 is available at https://urlcurt.com/u?l=6lDuTx from

META MATERIALS: NSC Closes Sale of Authentication Business for $10M
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Meta Materials Inc. disclosed in a Form 8-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission that on July 16, 2024, Nanotech
Security Corp. ("NSC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of 1315115 BC
Inc., which is a wholly subsidiary of the Company, completed the
transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement dated
July 3, 2024 with Authentix, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and
Authentix Canada Solutions, Inc., a corporation formed under the
laws of British Columbia, Canada (together the "Buyer"), and the
Buyer paid in cash an aggregate of $10 million for the
Authentication Business, which included $4 million of prior
deposits paid by the Buyer which were applied to the Purchase
Price.  In addition, $3 million of the Purchase Price is being held
in escrow to satisfy certain post-closing matters.  Additionally,
on July 16, 2024, in connection with the Transaction, all five
remaining employees of the Authentication Business were terminated
by the Company and paid severance under their employment
agreements.  Such employees received employment offers from
Authentix.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Buyer agreed to (i)
purchase substantially all of the assets owned by NSC and used in
the operation of the Company's authentication business and (ii)
assume certain liabilities of the Authentication Business.

Meta Materials commented, "Even with the closing of the
Transaction, the Company continues to face financial hardship and
there remains significant concern that the Company will be able to
continue operations.  The Board and the Company management continue
to consider viable strategic alternatives and to work with its
advisors to sell assets and secure additional financing to generate
liquidity, however, expectations for success are low, which could
lead to a potential winddown and bankruptcy filing of the
Company."

          Unit Placed in Assignment for Benefit of Creditors

On July 12, 2024, Metamaterial Inc., an immaterial subsidiary of
the Company, made a voluntary assignment for the general benefit of
creditors pursuant to the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) in
the District Court of Ontario.  Grant Thornton Limited was
appointed as trustee in the bankruptcy for the benefit of the
creditors of MMI.  The operations and assets of MMI consisted
primarily of a leased facility located at 60 Highfield Park,
Dartmouth, Nova Scotia B3A 4R9.

NATIONAL RIFLE: Former CFO Approves 10-Yr. New York Nonprofit Ban

to 10-Year NY nonprofit ban.

money, according to deal terms disclosed Tuesday, July 9, 2024.

             About National Rifle Association

Founded in 1871 in New York, the National Rifle Association of
America is a gun rights advocacy group. The NRA claims to be the
longest-standing civil rights organization and has more than five
million members.

Seeking to move its domicile and principal place of business to
Texas amid lawsuits in New York, the National Rifle Association of
America sought Chapter 11 protection (Bankr. N.D. Tex. Case No.
21-30085) on Jan. 15, 2021. Affiliate Sea Girt LLC simultaneously
sought Chapter 11 protection (Case No. 21-30080).

The NRA was estimated to have assets and liabilities of $100
million to $500 million as of the bankruptcy filing.

Judge Harlin Dewayne Hale oversaw the cases.

dismissed the National Rifle Association's Chapter 11 case in May
2021, after finding the group filed its petition in bad faith in
order to gain advantage in litigation brought by New York's
attorney general. New York Attorney General Letitia James sought
the dismissal of the case. The judge condemned the NRA's attempts
to avoid accountability, making clear that the organization's
actions were "not an appropriate use of bankruptcy."

On July 11, 2024, in connection with the Purchase Agreement, the

Calgary, Canada-based MNP LLP, the Company's auditor since 2023,
issued a "going concern" qualification in its report dated March
27, 2024, citing that the Company's current cash position is not
expected to be sufficient to meet the Company's obligations and
planned operations for a year beyond the date of auditor's report,
unless additional financing is obtained or new revenue contracts
are completed. This raises substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.

PLANO HOLDCO: S&P Assigns 'B+' ICR, Outlook Stable
--------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'B+' issuer credit rating to Plano
HoldCo Inc. (d/b/a Perficient) and its 'B+' issue-level rating and
'3' recovery rating to the proposed first-lien term loan.

The stable outlook reflects S&P's expectation for Plano, over the
next 12 months, to generate revenue growth in the low-single-digit
percent area, pursue initiatives focused on cost optimization and
boosting offshore utilization rates to drive increased levels of
profitability and generate FOCF of at least $40 million to reduce
its S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage to 5x while adhering to
financial policies that will support sustaining leverage around
these levels.

Perficient's modest size does not preclude it from being a
formidable competitor in the highly competitive digital consultancy
market. S&P said, "Our assessment of the company's business risk
profile incorporates its role as a modest-size provider of
high-value consultancy services related to digital transformations,
including strategy and management consulting and design and
development. We believe there is a large and rapidly growing
addressable market for the company's offerings, which are
increasingly mission critical and supported by favorable secular
demand trends. However, IT spending is cyclical and Perficient is
susceptible to demand variability given that many of its customers'
digital transformation efforts are still in the early stages. There
is also a discretionary element to Perficient's services and we
note that it lacks sources of contractual recurring revenue, even
if--in many cases--these are lower-value revenue streams."

The company's markets are also highly competitive due to their
fragmented nature, low barriers to entry, and lack of provider
bargaining power. In addition, Perficient competes against some
companies that possess greater scale, labor-cost advantages,
broader service offerings, or greater financial resources,
including large providers (such as Accenture and Deloitte) and
offshore providers (such as Infosys and Cognizant). Furthermore,
the company must also compete against many niche solution providers
as well as in-house IT departments.

Perficient leverages its expertise across digital technologies, its
vertical-specific knowledge in health, financial services, and
energy, its strategic partnerships with leading technology
enterprises, and its strong relationships with its blue-chip
customer base. The company's customer base is diverse, with an
average tenure exceeding six years, which provides it with
opportunities to expand its wallet share given its customers' vast
and rising needs for digital transformation services. Despite
lacking long-term recurring service contracts, Perficient's track
record of winning repeat business demonstrates its good customer
relationships and value proposition. The company has also made
strides in building out its global delivery model, which now
comprises 40 delivery centers across North America, South America,
India, China, the U.K., and Serbia. This model enables Perficient
to deliver its services in a cost-effective manner, which may lead
it to lower its overall bill rates and potentially pressure its
revenue growth.

Perficient's debt burden and financial policy considerations
suggest increased financial risks. S&P said, "Given our expectation
its capital structure will include the proposed $935 million term
loan and lease liabilities that we treat as debt-like obligations
(liabilities related to employee stock compensation are expected to
be funded and satisfied in 6-12 months of closing), we estimate the
company will have about $965 million of S&P Global Ratings-adjusted
debt. We forecast Perficient's S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage
will be about 5.3x as of the close of the transaction. Apart from
its leverage, our ratings also consider that the company will be
solely controlled by financial-sponsor EQT and its affiliates.
While Perficient's leverage will likely be lower than that of most
of the other sponsor-owned issuers we rate, which often have
leverage well above 5x, our ratings are constrained by the risk
that its financial sponsor will employ aggressive strategies to
maximize its returns by issuing debt. If its financial sponsor
employs such methods, it could prevent the company from
deleveraging below 5x over the next 12 months as we currently
expect."

S&P said, "Despite a slow start to the year, we expect Perficient
will increase its revenue in fiscal year 2024 and accelerate its
revenue expansion thereafter. The company's recent performance
metrics reflect the challenging IT spending environment, notably
from budgetary constraints, which have elongated the sales cycle
and led to cost controls on discretionary services and vendor
consolidation. The increase in Perficient's new project initiations
began to stall in 2023 because a greater mix of its potential work
was shifted offshore. This reduced the company's billable rates,
which--even after incorporating the benefits from its
acquisitions--caused its revenue to decline by 3.5% year over year.
These headwinds persisted in the first quarter of 2024, which--due
to the reduction in its late-2023 bookings and project
completions--caused Perficient's revenue to decline by 7% year over
year.

"While we expect Perficient's customers will remain cautious with
their IT spending, we now believe their interest in--and
exploratory efforts around--potential AI use cases is serving as a
demand catalyst for projects related to cloud adoption, data
cleansing, workforce productivity, modernizing enterprise business
processes, and enhancing data security. Given the company's role in
these services and the improvements in its sales pipeline, we
expect its revenue will stabilize and increase by the low-single
digit percent area in 2024 before accelerating and expanding by the
mid-single-digit percent area in 2025. This will also likely lead
to improvements in its utilization and operating leverage,
which--alongside the roll-off of its public company costs--will
likely increase its profitability and support positive free cash
flow generation, despite the higher interest burden from its
capital structure (at least $45 million in 2025).

"Perficient's financial policies following the leveraged buyout
(LBO) could include acquisitions, though we expect it to refrain
from pursuing debt-funded dividends.. While financial policy risks
constrain our ratings on the company, we consider these risks to be
lower than those we typically ascribe to a sponsor-owned company.
In our view, EQT's $2.1 billion equity contribution for the
proposed LBO suggests a commitment to more-conservative financial
policies. We also believe EQT, with its extensive experience in
technology services investments, is pursuing this acquisition to
accelerate its growth and improve its profitability. We believe the
company can largely achieve these goals organically, given its
secular demand trends and the opportunities for cost
rationalization, optimization of its utilization rates, and the
expansion of offshore delivery.

"While we don't expect the company will undertake dividends over
the near term, we believe the potential for acquisitions is more
likely. Still, Perficient has historically pursued primarily
smaller deals. Given our expectation it will reduce its leverage to
the high-4x area by the end of 2025, we expect it will likely have
capacity to pursue such transaction. The terms of Perficient's
credit agreement also limit its incremental term loans to the
greater of $190 million or one year of its consolidated EBITDA
while caping its pro forma first-lien and total leverage ratios at
5.25x and 5.75x, respectively.

"The stable outlook reflects our expectation for Plano, over the
next 12 months, to generate revenue growth in the low-single-digit
percent area, pursue initiatives focused on cost optimization and
boosting offshore utilization rates to drive increased levels of
profitability and generate FOCF of at least $40 million to reduce
its S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage to 5x while adhering to
financial policies that will support sustaining leverage around
these levels."

PURDUE PHARMA: Gets 2-Mons. Window For New Sackler Deal Negotiation
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Jonathan Randles of Bloomberg News reports that Purdue Pharma LP
secured a two-month window to negotiate a new pact with members of
the Sackler family as the OyxContin maker and its owners brace for
a potential wave of civil opioid lawsuits after the US Supreme
Court scuttled an earlier $6 billion settlement.

Judge Sean Lane said during a Tuesday, July 9, 2024, court hearing
in New York that he'd extend for 60 days an injunction that, for
years, has paused opioid litigation against the billionaire family
while Purdue, government authorities and victims lawyers attempted
to effectuate the earlier settlement.

                     About Purdue Pharma LP
  
Purdue Pharma L.P. and its subsidiaries --
http://www.purduepharma.com/-- develop and provide prescription
medicines and consumer products that meet the evolving needs of
healthcare professionals, patients, consumers and caregivers.

Purdue's subsidiaries include Adlon Therapeutics L.P., focused on
treatment for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and
related disorders; Avrio Health L.P., a consumer health products
company that champions an improved quality of life for people in
the United States through the reimagining of innovative product
solutions; Imbrium Therapeutics L.P., established to further
advance the emerging portfolio and develop the pipeline in the
areas of CNS, non-opioid pain medicines, and select oncology
through internal research, strategic collaborations and
partnerships; and Greenfield Bioventures L.P., an investment
vehicle focused on value-inflection in early stages of clinical
development.

Opioid makers in the U.S. are facing pressure from a crackdown on
the addictive drug in the wake of the opioid crisis and as state
attorneys general file lawsuits against manufacturers. More than
2,000 states, counties, municipalities and Native American
governments have sued Purdue Pharma and other pharmaceutical
companies for their role in the opioid crisis in the U.S., which
has contributed to the more than 700,000 drug overdose deaths in
the U.S. since 1999.

OxyContin, Purdue Pharma's most prominent pain medication, has been
the target of over 2,600 civil actions pending in various state and
federal courts and other fora across the United States and its
territories.

On Sept. 15 and 16, 2019, Purdue Pharma L.P. and 23 affiliated
debtors each filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11
of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Lead Case No.
19-23649), after reaching terms of a preliminary agreement for
settling the massive opioid litigation. The Debtors' consolidated
balance sheet as of Aug. 31, 2019, showed $1.972 billion in assets
and $562 million in liabilities.

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Robert Drain oversees the cases.   

The Debtors tapped Davis Polk & Wardwell, LLP and Dechert, LLP, as
legal counsels; PJT Partners as investment banker; AlixPartners as
financial advisor; and Grant Thornton, LLP as tax structuring
consultant. Prime Clerk, LLC, is the claims agent.

Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP and Bayard, P.A., represent the
official committee of unsecured creditors appointed in the Debtors'
bankruptcy cases.

David M. Klauder, Esq., is the fee examiner appointed in the
Debtors' cases. The fee examiner is represented by Bielli &
Klauder, LLC.

                    *     *     *

U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Robert Drain in early September 2021 approved
a plan to turn Purdue into a new company (Knoa Pharma LLC) no
longer owned by members of the Sackler family, with its profits
going to fight the opioid epidemic.  The Sackler family agreed to
pay $4.3 billion over nine years to the states and private
plaintiffs and in exchange for a lifetime legal immunity. The deal
resolves some 3,000 lawsuits filed by state and local governments,
Native American tribes, unions, hospitals and others who claimed
the company's marketing of prescription opioids helped spark and
continue an overdose epidemic.

Separate appeals to approval of the Plan have already been filed by
the U.S. Bankruptcy Trustee, California,  Connecticut, the District
of Columbia, Maryland, Rhode Island and Washington state, plus some
Canadian local governments and other Canadian entities.

In early March 2022, Purdue Pharma reached a nationwide settlement
over its role in the opioid crisis, with the Sackler family members
boosting their cash contribution to as much as $6 billion. The
settlement was hammered out with attorneys general from the eight
states -- California, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Oregon,
Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington -- and D.C. who had opposed
the previous settlement.

SHARPLINK GAMING: Inks Second Warrant Exchange Agreement With Alpha
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sharplink Gaming, Inc. disclosed in a Form 8-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on July 16, 2024, that on
July 10, 2024, the Company and Alpha Capital Anstalt entered into
an exchange agreement No. 2, but made effective as of June 30,
2024, whereby Alpha exchanged the Warrant Repurchase Balance for
(i) a new warrant to purchase 254,233 shares of SharpLink's common
stock with a strike price of $0.001; and (ii) the termination of
the Warrant Repurchase Balance including the repurchase obligations
set forth thereunder.

As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K, dated Feb.
16, 2023, on Feb. 15, 2023, SharpLink issued a warrant to Alpha to
purchase 880,000 common shares (as adjusted for the 1-for-10
-reverse stock split) of the Company.  The 2023 Warrant provided
that in the event of a fundamental transaction, which included a
sale of substantially all of the Company's assets, at Alpha's
option, the Company would repurchase the 2023 Warrant from Alpha on
the terms set forth in Section 3(e)(ii) of the 2023 Warrant.  On
Jan. 18, 2024, SharpLink sold substantially all of its assets as
was disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on Jan. 24,
2024.

On Jan. 19, 2024, SharpLink and Alpha entered into a settlement
agreement whereby Alpha agreed to waive (i) the event of default
under Section 3(e)(ii) of the 2023 Warrant in connection with the
Asset Sale.  Pursuant to Section 5(1) of the 2023 Warrant, Alpha
agreed to waive its right to the Warrant Repurchase at the time of
the Asset Sale.  The Settlement Agreement provides that the Warrant
Repurchase for its Black Scholes value would take place upon the
earlier of (a) June 30, 2024; (b) the Company raising a gross
amount of not less than $3,000,000 whether by equity or debt; and
(c) the Company entering into a "fundamental transaction" as
defined in the 2023 Warrant.  The Parties fixed the Black Scholes
value of the 2023 Warrant for purposes of the Warrant Repurchase at
$900,000.

On March 6, 2024, SharpLink entered into an Exchange Agreement with
Alpha.  Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the
Exchange Agreement, the Company agreed to exchange the 2023 Warrant
for (i) 156,207 shares of Common Stock, (ii) a pre-funded warrant
in the amount of 469,560 shares of Common Stock and (iii) the
unexchanged balance of the 2023 Warrant Repurchase (the "Warrant
Repurchase Balance").  The Warrant Repurchase Balance is valued at
$260,111 and will be subject to the repurchase terms set forth in
the Settlement Agreement.

SVB FINANCIAL: FDIC Objects Bankruptcy Plan Amid $1.9 Bil. Lawsuit
------------------------------------------------------------------
Thomas Gleason of Bloomberg Law reports that the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corp. objected to SVB Financial Group's proposed
restructuring plan as the two continue litigating over $1.9 billion
in disputed funds.

The plan proposed by the bankrupt former parent of Silicon Valley
Bank unlawfully eliminates the FDIC's rights to offset claims it
holds against SVB Financial with debt it owes to SVB Financial, the
federal regulator said in an objection filed Monday in the US
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.

The FDIC has the right to set off its claims against debt under
section 553 of the US Bankruptcy Code, the agency said. Its claims
include damages caused by SVB leaders who allegedly breached
fiduciary duties, damages from SVB Financial's alleged unjust
enrichment, and tax refunds that the agency says SVB Financial must
turn over, according to a court filing in related litigation.

SVB Financial's plan also proposes to release claims against third
parties, but the agency argued that's prohibited because Congress
transferred the rights to SVB's claims and causes of action to the
FDIC when it took control of the collapsed bank via a receivership
last year.

SVB Financial filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March 2023 shortly
after the bank itself collapsed. The bank came under a run on its
deposits and was forced to realize hundreds of millions in losses
on long-dated treasury bonds. After being placed into receivership,
SVB was sold to First Citizens Bank, while its former parent took
on the FDIC in bankruptcy.

SVB Financial sued the FDIC in the US District Court for the
Northern District of California earlier this year, saying the
agency has wrongfully held onto $1.9 billion in funds that were on
deposit when the bank was placed into receivership. The case is
ongoing.

SVB Financial declined to comment on the FDIC’s objection.

Sullivan & Cromwell LLP represents SVB Financial. Reed Smith LLP
represents the FDIC.

                  About SVB Financial Group

SVB Financial Group (Pink Sheets: SIVBQ) is a financial services
company focusing on the innovation economy, offering financial
products and services to clients across the United States and in
key international markets.

Prior to March 10, 2023, SVB Financial Group owned and operated
Silicon Valley Bank, a state chartered bank.  During the week of
March 6, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank, Santa Clara, CA, experienced a
severe "run-on-the-bank."  On the morning of March 10, the
California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation seized
SVB and placed it under the receivership of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation. SVB was the nation's 16th largest bank and
the biggest to fail since the 2008 financial meltdown.

On March 17, 2023, SVB Financial Group sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Case No. 23-10367). The Debtor had
assets of $19,679,000,000 and liabilities of $3,675,000,000 as of
Dec. 31, 2022.

The Hon. Martin Glenn is the bankruptcy judge.

The Debtor tapped Sullivan & Cromwell, LLP as bankruptcy counsel;
Centerview Partners, LLC as investment banker; and Alvarez & Marsal
North America, LLC as restructuring advisor. William Kosturos, a
partner at Alvarez & Marsal, serves as the Debtor's chief
restructuring officer. Kroll Restructuring Administration, LLC, is

represent unsecured creditors in the Debtor's Chapter 11 case.

The committee tapped Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, LLP as
bankruptcy counsel; Cole Schotz P.C. as conflict counsel; Lazard
Freres & Co. LLC as investment banker; and Berkeley Research Group,
LLC as financial advisor.

TELESCOPE PROPERTIES: Claims to be Paid From Contributions & Sales
------------------------------------------------------------------
Telescope Properties, LLC filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Eastern District of Michigan a Combined Disclosure Statement
and Plan of Reorganization dated July 8, 2024.

The Debtor is a Michigan limited liability company which owns 3
properties, a rental property in Hamtramck, MI, and 2 rental
properties in California.

The properties are located at 12062 Klinger St Hamtramck, MI, 5636
Lindley Ave, Encino, CA and 16708 Chaplin Ave, Encino, CA. Shabi
Jafri owns and manages the Debtor. Upon confirmation, Mr. Jafri
will continue to own and manage the property. Debtor was formed on
February 19, 2016.

The Debtor is in the business of owning, renting, and selling
residential properties. It currently has 3 properties, and will
likely sell at least one of those properties in the next few
months. There are no tenants in the properties. Debtor will
continue in existence, and may purchase new properties in the
future, subject to this Plan.

The Debtor filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy because of a pending
foreclosure action as to the Chaplin property, which was due in
part a lack of cash flow to finish the Chaplin property and pay the
ongoing mortgage obligations for all 3 properties.

Class of general unsecured claims. It appears that there are no
general unsecured claims. To the extent they exist, they shall be
paid nothing under the Plan.

The equity holder, Shabi Jafri, shall retain his interests.

The Debtors reasonably believe that capital contributions, sales,
and refinancings shall be sufficient to fund the Plan. Other
sources of cash may be explored and utilized by the Debtors to the
extent that cash infusions are necessary to meet the obligations of
the Plan. Debtor may also sell all of its assets or a portion of
its assets to fund its obligations under the Plan.

To the extent additional monies are needed, it is contemplated that
funds will come from Debtor's principal, which shall be treated as
a new value contribution to the extent new value is required, and
as a capital contribution to the extent new value is not required.

The Debtor proposes to continue its operations with the same
management. It is contemplated that Shabi Jafri who manages the
Debtor, shall receive no compensation, whether in the form of
salary or fringe benefits other than distributions which would only
be paid if Debtor is current on all obligations.

TEREX CORP: S&P Places 'BB' Unsec. Debt Rating on Watch Negative
----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings placed its issue-level ratings on Terex Corp's
revolving credit facility and senior unsecured notes on CreditWatch
with negative implications.

S&P's 'BB' issuer credit rating and stable outlook are unchanged.

The CreditWatch reflects the possibility it could lower its 'BBB-'
rating on Terex's secured debt or its 'BB' rating on its unsecured
debt depending on an unknown funding mix.

Terex Corp. reached an agreement to acquire Dover Corp.'s
Environmental Solutions Group (ESG).

S&P said, "The CreditWatch placement reflects our view that the
significant new debt could pressure our issue-level ratings. Terex
expects to fund the transaction with a mix of cash on hand, a new
term loan B, and senior unsecured notes. As of March 31, 2024, the
company's capital structure consisted primarily of $99.1 million
drawn on its revolving credit facility and $600 million of senior
unsecured notes. While we do not know the specific funding mix or
terms of the acquisition, we believe the additional debt burden
will likely weaken creditors' recovery prospects in a hypothetical
default scenario.

"We expect Terex's pro forma credit metrics will be moderately
elevated in 2024. We forecast that S&P Global Ratings-adjusted
leverage will increase to the mid-2x area in 2024 with the
acquisition of ESG, its largest deal in 15 years. We forecast Terex
will use free cash flow to reduce leverage to about 2x in 2025.
However, the increased debt load, unforeseen integration challenges
with the acquisition, earnings diversification being
counterbalanced by the uncertainty of adding a new business
vertical, or weaker operating performance than we anticipate could
limit Terex's capacity for more debt or earnings deterioration.

"Our 'BB' issuer credit rating incorporates our view that Terex
will manage leverage conservatively during favorable business
conditions. In our opinion, this would provide cushion to keep
leverage under 4x in a weaker environment. We expect the proposed
transaction to close in the second half of 2024, subject to
customary closing conditions.

"We believe the acquisition adds a degree of stability to
complement Terex's more cyclical businesses. ESG manufactures
custom refuse collection vehicles and waste compaction equipment
(72% of last-12-months revenue through March 31, 2024). It also
provides aftermarket parts and services (18%), as well as digital
offerings to improve safety (10%). The addition of ESG's roughly
$865 million of annual revenue, combined with organic growth, will
help Terex expand pro forma revenue to about $6 billion in 2024.
The proposed combination will increase Terex's scale and geographic
footprint in North America. It will also diversify its end-market
exposure into waste and recycling equipment and open additional
opportunities in digital offerings.

"However, we continue to view Terex's end-markets, such as lifting
and construction, as competitive and cyclical. Terex also sells
equipment used in manufacturing and infrastructure maintenance,
where end-market activity is less cyclical.

"The CreditWatch reflects our view that there is at least a 1-in-2
likelihood that we could lower one or both issue-level ratings over
the next 90 days. We will continue to evaluate the transaction as
we receive further details on the mix and terms of the debt."



TEST AND BALANCING: Unsecureds Will Get 19% of Claims in Plan
-------------------------------------------------------------
Test and Balancing, Inc., filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Maryland a Plan of Reorganization under Subchapter
V dated July 8, 2024.

Test & Balancing, Inc. was formed in 1977 to serve the Washington
and Baltimore metropolitan areas as an independent testing,
adjusting, and balancing company.

Test & Balancing, Inc. (TBI) was incorporated under the laws of
Maryland in 1977. John Shelander became the sole owner of TBI in
1984 and remained as sole owner and President until 2022. In
October 2022, ownership was transferred from John Shelander to his
children, Jennifer Bonsall and Gregory Shelander. Jennifer owns
35%, and Gregory the remaining 65%.

The events leading up to TBI's bankruptcy filing were caused by
three jobs that had been severely delayed by issues beyond all
starting simultaneously. Due to the strain of trying to get these
jobs done, the Debtor also had to neglect some of current jobs,
which strained relationships with other contractors. Due to the
lack of payments, delayed payments, and profit lost on the
simultaneous jobs, the Debtor was forced to file bankruptcy.

The term of this Plan begins on the date of confirmation of this
Plan and ends on the 48th month subsequent to the Effective Date.

During the term of this Plan, the Debtor shall submit the
disposable income (or value of such disposable income) necessary
for the performance of this plan to the creditors (the "Creditors")
and shall pay the Creditors the sums set forth herein.

The value of the property to be distributed under the Plan during
the term of the Plan is not less than the Debtor's projected
disposable income for that same period. Unsecured creditors holding
allowed claims will receive distributions, which the Debtor has
valued at approximately $0.19 cents on the dollar. The Plan also
provides for the payment of secured, administrative, and priority
claims in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code.

Class 5 consists of Unsecured Claims. This Class shall be paid from
disposable income. The allowed unsecured claims total $398,399.31.
This Class will receive a distribution of 19% of their allowed
claims. This Class is impaired.

15, 2024, citing that the Company has a significant working capital

additional capital to grow its business, fund operating expenses

VILLAGE AT LAKERIDGE: Time to Submit Status Report Extended
-----------------------------------------------------------
The United States District Court for the District of Nevada
approved a stipulation to extend time for the parties in the case
captioned as The Village at Lakeridge, LLC, Appellant, and United
States Trustee, Appellee. Case No. 3:21-cv-160-MMD (D. Nev.), to
report on whether further proceedings are necessary in this matter.


The stipulated order abating the appeal requires the parties,
within 14 days after a decision by the Ninth Circuit in USA Sales
becomes final and unappealable, to submit a status report.

Counsel for the appellant has represented that he is undergoing
treatment for a serious medical condition.  Counsel indicated he is
thus not in a position to respond substantively at present and
requested additional time to do so.

The parties stipulate to an additional 90 days from the entry of
the order.

A copy of the District Court's decision dated July 17, 2024, is
available at https://urlcurt.com/u?l=xLcxFN

In USA Sales, the Ninth Circuit affirmed the district court's
refund order, holding that the California tobacco distributor was
entitled to a refund for the unconstitutional statutory fees it
paid as a bankruptcy debtor under the Bankruptcy Judgeship Act of
2017.  A provision of the 2017 Act increased the quarterly
statutory fees for certain Chapter 11 debtors in all but the six
judicial districts in which Bankruptcy Administrators, rather than
the Office of the United States Trustee, administratively manage
bankruptcy proceedings. In Siegel v. Fitzgerald, 142 S. Ct. 1770
(2022), the Supreme Court held that this provision, by not
including those six districts, violated the uniformity requirement
of the Bankruptcy Clause.  The panel held that the 2017 Act applied
to USA Sales' bankruptcy proceeding, even though its case was
already pending when the Act took effect. Turning to the remedy,
and agreeing with other circuits, the panel held that U.S. Trustee
district debtors are entitled to a refund of excess fees paid
during the non-uniform period of statutory rates. Accordingly, USA
Sales was entitled to a refund of the unconstitutional fees it paid
in excess of those it would have paid in a Bankruptcy Administrator
district from January 2018, when the 2017 Act fee provision took
effect, to November 2019, when the bankruptcy court approved a
structured dismissal of USA Sales' case.

[*] Commercial Ch. 11 Filings Rocketed 40%,Small Biz Filings Up 60%
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Katy Grimes of California Globe reports that U.S. business
bankruptcies up 40% since January 2023; small business bankruptcies
up 60%.

The American Bankruptcy Institute has bad news: Small business
Chapter 11 business reorganization bankruptcy filings increased 60
percent from April 2023 to April 2024. Commercial Chapter 11
business filings increased 40 percent from April 2023 to April
2024, with high interest rates and high inflation to blame.

"Fading hopes of lower interest rates are likely contributing to
the increase in filings, as companies that may have held out hope
for rate cuts at the beginning of the year come to terms with the
reality that they will remain higher for longer," S&P Global
reported.

This is on the heels of the National Federation of Independent
Businesses newly released survey showing the highest Small Business
"uncertainty" since 2020 during the pandemic, when "nonessential"
businesses were forced to shut down, the Globe reported in June
2024. "The small business sector is responsible for the production
of over 40% of GDP and employment, a crucial portion of the
economy," said National Federation of Independent Business Chief
Economist Bill Dunkelberg. "But for 29 consecutive months, small
business owners have expressed historically low optimism and their
views about future business conditions are at the worst levels seen
in 50 years. Small business owners need relief as inflation has not
eased much on Main Street."

"Overall commercial filings increased 39 percent in April 2024 to
2,569 from 1,846 in April 2023," ABI said.

Some of the largest business bankruptcies with more than $1 billion
in liabilities include JOANN Inc. fabric and sewing stores, fashion
retailer Express Inc., Audacity Inc. audio content and
entertainment company, energy company Enivia Inc., and Invitae
Corp., a healthcare company.

"Consumer discretionary remained the sector with the most
year-to-date bankruptcies, with eight additional filings in April.
Healthcare also recorded eight bankruptcies for the month, while
the industrials sector added five," S&P Global reported.

None of this is good news.

ABI reports:

The 45,592 total U.S. bankruptcy filings in April 2024 increased 28
percent from the April 2023 total of 35,497.
Noncommercial bankruptcy filings also registered a 28 percent
increase, to 43,023 in April 2024 from the April 2023 noncommercial
total of 33,651.

The number of consumers filing for chapter 7 increased 33 percent
to 26,778 in April 2024 from the 20,199 who filed in chapter 7 last
year, while chapter 13 filings increased 21 percent to 16,172 in
April 2024 from the 13,398 chapter 13 filings in April 2023.

The Globe counted 8 healthcare bankruptcies in April 2024.

Chapter 11 is business reorganization, Chapter 7 is Liquidation,
Chapter 13 is Individual Debt Adjustment, referred to as a
wage-earner payback plan.

ABI has the April 2024 Year-Over-Year Highlights:
Bankruptcy filings including all chapters totaled 45,592, a 28%
increase from the April 2023 total of 35,497.
Commercial chapter 11 filings increased 40 percent to 542 in April
2024 from the 378 filings recorded in January 2023.

Commercial filings were 2,569, a 39 percent increase in April 2024
compared to the 1,846 filed in April 2023.
Subchapter V small business elections increased 60 percent to 233
in April 2024 from the 146 filings last January.
Individual filings increased 28% to 43,023 in April 2024 from the
33,651 filed in April 2023.


[] South Dakota Sees 14% Rise in Bankruptcy Filings
---------------------------------------------------
Steve Jurrens of 99.1 KXLG reports that SD sees 14% increase in
bankruptcy filings enacts call to seek Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Trustee.

South Dakota has seen a rise in bankruptcy filings in the first
half of 2024. Compared to the same period last year, filings have
increased by 14 percent.

The United States Trustee seeks an additional Chapter 7 bankruptcy
trustee for the District of South Dakota to address this rise. This
trustee will join Lee Ann Pierce, the current Chapter 7 trustee,
and they will likely handle cases rotating.

The United States Trustee is encouraging qualified individuals to
submit resumes for consideration.

Applicants must meet certain qualifications outlined in 28 C.F.R.
§ 58.3 to be eligible for appointment. While prior fiduciary and
bankruptcy experience is desirable, it is not mandatory. Strong
administrative, financial, and interpersonal skills are essential.
Successful candidates will undergo background checks and must
qualify for bonding.

It's important to note that Chapter 7 trustees, although not
federal employees, are appointed in accordance with federal Equal
Opportunity policies that prohibit discrimination in employment.

Monday's edition of the TCR delivers a list of indicative prices
for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par.  Prices are
obtained by TCR editors from a variety of outside sources during
the prior week we think are reliable.  Those sources may not,
however, be complete or accurate.  The Monday Bond Pricing table
is compiled on the Friday prior to publication.  Prices reported
are not intended to reflect actual trades.  Prices for actual
trades are probably different.  Our objective is to share
information, not make markets in publicly traded securities.
Nothing in the TCR constitutes an offer or solicitation to buy or
sell any security of any kind.  It is likely that some entity
affiliated with a TCR editor holds some position in the issuers
public debt and equity securities about which we report.

Each Tuesday edition of the TCR contains a list of companies with
insolvent balance sheets whose shares trade higher than $3 per
share in public markets.  At first glance, this list may look like
the definitive compilation of stocks that are ideal to sell short.
Don't be fooled.  Assets, for example, reported at historical cost
net of depreciation may understate the true value of a firm's
assets.  A company may establish reserves on its balance sheet for
liabilities that may never materialize.  The prices at which
equity securities trade in public market are determined by more
than a balance sheet solvency test.

On Thursdays, the TCR delivers a list of recently filed
Chapter 11 cases involving less than $1,000,000 in assets and
liabilities delivered to nation's bankruptcy courts.  The list
includes links to freely downloadable images of these small-dollar
petitions in Acrobat PDF format.

Each Friday's edition of the TCR includes a review about a book of
interest to troubled company professionals.  All titles are
available at your local bookstore or through Amazon.com.  Go to

Monthly Operating Reports are summarized in every Saturday edition
of the TCR.
