the board of directors of the Company appointed Eric Vandam as

Operating Officer from January 2022 to February 2023, after which
time he served as an advisor to the Company. Mr. Vandam brings 30
years of experience leading operations from a diverse range of
positions. He worked for over 20 years at companies holding a
direct coaching relationship with Toyota implementing the Toyota
Production System within the furniture, automotive, and agriculture

Operations, Executive Account Manager and Director of Operations of
Greenhouse Seating Operations, at Herman Miller, Inc., a leading
global company that designs, manufactures and distributes interior
furnishings, from 2000 to 2016. Mr. VanDam has a B.S. degree in
Business Management from the University of Phoenix.

Mr. Vandam was elected until his successor is duly elected and
qualified. There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr.
Vandam and any other persons pursuant to which he was selected as
Chief Operating Officer. There are no family relationships that
exist between Mr. Vandam and any directors or executive officers of
the Company. In addition, there has been no transaction, nor is
there any currently proposed transaction, between Mr. Vandam and
the Company that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of
Regulation S-K.

On July 29, 2024, the Company entered into an employment offer
letter with Mr. Vandam setting forth the terms of the compensation
for his services as Chief Operating Officer. Pursuant to the
Employment Agreement, Mr. Vandam is entitled to an annual base

Mr. Vandam's employment is at-will and may be terminated by the
Company at any time or by Mr. Vandam upon 30 days' notice. If the
Company terminates Mr. Vandam's employment without cause, he is
entitled, subject to his execution of a release of claims in favor
of the Company, to six months of base compensation, which will be
paid in a lump sum upon termination. The Employment Agreement
contains customary confidentiality provisions and restrictive
covenants prohibiting Mr. Vandam from:

     (i) owning or operating a business that competes with the
Company during the term of his employment; or
    (ii) soliciting the Company's employees for a period of two
years following the termination of his employment.

22ND CENTURY: Secures $1.68MM in Offering, Amends Credit Facility
-----------------------------------------------------------------
22nd Century Group, Inc. disclosed in a Form 8-K Report filed with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that on August 27,
2024, the Company entered into a subscription agreements with
certain institutional investors and high net worth individuals,
pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the
Investors 2,950,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company at a
price of $0.57 per share for gross proceeds to the Company of $1.68
million. The Shares to be issued in the offering were offered
at-the-market under Nasdaq rules and pursuant to the Company's Form
1-A, initially filed by the Company with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
on August 2, 2024, and qualified on August 13. The total amount of
the Shares sold under the Regulation A offering is 3,620,000
shares. The Shares were not placed through the efforts of a
placement agent and no fees or commissions are to be paid on the
transaction to anyone.

The Company has the ability, at its election, to raise additional
proceeds of up to approximately $3.9 million on the same terms and
conditions pursuant to the Offering Statement from time to time.
Any additional sales made pursuant to the Offering Statement will
be disclosed through subsequent prospectus supplements.
Notwithstanding that the Company desires to consummate one or more
additional sales in the future, at this time the Company has no
such additional oral or written agreements to consummate any such
sales, and, as such, it cannot guarantee that any such sales will
occur in the future.

Private Placement of Warrants

On August 27, 2024, the Company and the Investors entered into a
warrant purchase agreement relating to the private placement of
2,596,000 warrants to purchase an equal number of shares of common
stock, at a purchase price of $0.00001 per warrant. The warrants
are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $1.00 per share
of common stock, expire five years following the issuance date and
are subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, including upon
any subsequent equity sales at a price per share lower than the
then effective exercise price of such warrants, then such exercise
price shall be lowered to such price at which the shares were
offered; provided however, that such lower exercise price shall not
be effected unless and until the Company has obtained stockholder
approval for such adjustment. The net proceeds to the Company
expected from the Offering after deducting Company's estimated
offering expenses, are expected to be approximately $26.

The warrants and shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants are
being issued in a private placement and are exempt from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in
reliance on Section 4(a)(2) thereof as a transaction not involving
a public offering and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated
thereunder. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement
on Form S-3 (or other appropriate form if the Company is not then
S-3 eligible) within 30 days upon the demand of the Investors.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On August 27, 2024, the Company entered into that certain Letter
Agreement to modify the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement
dated March 3, 2023 and debentures, as amended, with JGB Partners,
LP, JGB Capital, LP and JGB Capital Offshore Ltd., and JGB
Collateral, LLC, as collateral agent for the Holders.

Under the terms of the Letter Agreement, each Holder agreed that it
shall not exercise its Holder Redemption Right for more than 50% of
its Monthly Allowance through and including July 2025. Further, the
provisions in Section 3(c)(i) of the Debentures requiring 20% of
any equity issuances to be paid to the Holders shall be suspended
through December 31, 2024. In consideration for the amendments set
forth in the Letter Agreement, the Company shall pay an amendment
fee of $746,000 which shall be added to the aggregate principal
amount of the Debentures.

Commenting on the transactions, Larry Firestone, Chairman and CEO
of 22nd Century, said, "Accessing additional capital and amending
the repayment terms of our Senior Secured Credit Facility enables
22nd Century Group to remain focused on the continued scaling of
our contract manufacturing business, while at the same time
reactivating and expanding our FDA authorized VLN® reduced
nicotine content product line in the markets."

                     About 22nd Century Group

Mocksville, N.C.-based 22nd Century Group, Inc. is a tobacco
products company with sales and distribution of its own proprietary
new reduced nicotine tobacco products authorized as Modified Risk
Tobacco Products by the FDA. Additionally, it provides contract
manufacturing services for conventional combustible tobacco
products for third-party brands.

Buffalo, N.Y.-based Freed Maxick, CPAs, PC, the Company's auditor
since 2011, issued a "going concern" qualification in its report
dated March 28, 2024, citing that the Company has incurred
significant losses and negative cash flows from operations since
inception and expects to incur additional losses until such time
that it can generate significant revenue and profit in its tobacco
business. Further, the Company has negative working capital and a
shareholders' deficit as of December 31, 2023. This raises
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company reported a net
loss of $140.8 million compared to a net loss of $59.8 million in
2022. As of June 30, 2024, 22nd Century Group had $24.1 million in
total assets, $25 million in total liabilities, and $955,000 in
total stockholders' deficit.

9300 WILSHIRE: Fine-Tunes Plan Documents
----------------------------------------
Creditor AES Redondo Beach, L.L.C., submitted a Second Amended
Disclosure Statement and Plan of Reorganization for 9300 Wilshire,
LLC dated August 8, 2024.

The proposed Plan by AES does not hinge on speculative litigation
or any other feasibility concerns. AES intends to fund the Plan so
holders of Allowed Claims entitled to cash distributions can be
paid in full on or promptly after the Effective Date. To this end,
the following provides a summary of the key economic terms and
procedures for the implementation of the Plan:

     * All holders of General Unsecured Claims in Class 2 of the
Plan that are Allowed will be unimpaired under the Bankruptcy Code
and paid in full in cash by AES, unless otherwise agreed by AES and
the applicable holder, as soon as reasonably practicable after the
Effective Date. Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims shall
also receive accrued interest at the Federal Judgment Rate (5.14%)
calculated from the Petition Date through the Effective Date.
According to the Debtor, the aggregate amount of the Allowed
General Unsecured Claims is estimated to be in the range of
$750,000 and $1 million. Based on AES's review of the proofs of
claim filed in the Chapter 11 Case and the Debtor's scheduled
claims, the aggregate amount of Allowed General Unsecured Claims is
estimated to total $489,537.98;

     * All holders of Administrative Claims, Tax Claims, and Other
Priority Claims in Class 1 of the Plan, that are Allowed will be
unimpaired under the Bankruptcy Code and paid in full in cash by
AES, unless otherwise agreed by AES and the applicable holder, as
soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date.
Administrative Claims includes Professional Claims representing the
accrued professional fees and expenses of the Debtor's
professionals, that have been employed in the Chapter 11 Case. The
estimated amount of Allowed Tax Claims is $4,410.34, and the
estimated amount of Allowed Other Priority Claims in Class 1 is
$0.00. AES has estimated the amount of Allowed Administrative
Claims at $50,000 if the Debtor, as shall be expected, continues to
pay the estate's accrued Administrative Claims in the ordinary
course of business.

     * Except for AES's secured claims in Class 5A and 5B, all
holders of other secured claims in Class 3 and Class 4 of the Plan
that are Allowed shall be unimpaired under the Bankruptcy Code and,
at the Debtor's option, shall (i) receive payment in full from the
Debtor, its equity holders, or the co obligors on such debt; (ii)
be cured by the Debtor (or its co obligors or equity holders) and
reinstated; or (iii) the Debtor's interest in the property
collateral securing such claims shall be tendered to the secured
party;

     * Based on the estimated aggregate amounts of Allowed
Administrative Claims, Tax Claims, Other Priority Claims in Class
1, and General Unsecured Claims in Class 2, certain conditions
precedent to the occurrence of the Effective Date of the Plan
require that the aggregate amount of (i) Allowed Administrative
Claims shall not exceed $800,000; (ii) Allowed Tax Claims shall not
exceed $35,000, except for the CCC Claim pursuant to Section
VIII.B.3 and Exhibit B; (iii) Allowed Other Priority Claims in
Class 1 shall not exceed $10,000; and (iv) Allowed General
Unsecured Claims in Class 2, shall not exceed $1.2 million. Each of
the forgoing conditions precedent to the Effective Date with
respect to the aggregate amount of Allowed Claims reflects a
sizable cushion to reduce unforeseen impediments to the occurrence
of the Effective Date of the Plan and to help ensure that holders
of Allowed Claims are promptly paid in full. To further reduce risk
to the occurrence of the Effective Date, AES reserves the right, in
its sole and absolute discretion, to waive these conditions
precedent even if the aggregate amount of Allowed Claims ultimately
exceed the conditions precedent;

     * Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, AES will fund
distributions to holders of Allowed Administrative Claims, Tax
Claims, Other Priority Claims in Class 1, and General Unsecured
Claims in Class 2, and AES's agreement to fund such distributions
is not contingent upon the outcome of the Foreclosure Sale of the
Redondo Property. In exchange for this agreement, AES shall be
provided an Allowed AES Administrative Claim as further described
in Section VIII.B of the Plan, pursuant to section 503(b)(3)(D) of
the Bankruptcy Code, in the amount of AES's distributions to the
forgoing creditors under the Plan. The AES Administrative Claim
shall be entitled to distributions from the Debtor’s interest in
any proceeds from the Foreclosure Sale of the Redondo Property that
exceed the net of the costs of sale and payment in full of the AES
Class 5B Secured Claim (or the satisfaction of such AES Class 5B
Secured Claim by credit bid, if applicable). If there are no such
excess proceeds from the Foreclosure Sale, the AES Administrative
Claim shall be waived; and

     * On and after the Effective Date, Section XI.E of the Plan
provides for the Debtor's release of certain Causes of Action
against the Released Parties, including AES. Further, on and after
the Effective Date, Section XI.F of the Plan provides for the
release and exculpation of the Exculpated Parties, including AES,
in connection with Causes of Action, if any, related to (among
other things) acts or omissions regarding the Chapter 11 Cases and
the preparation of the DS and Plan.

The AES Secured Claims are deemed unimpaired under the Plan
pursuant to the proposed disposition of the Redondo Property.

Subject to additional briefing on the valuation of the Redondo
Property as part of the confirmation process (collectively, the
"Valuation Briefing"), the Confirmation Order shall modify the
automatic stay pursuant to section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code to
provide a sequenced procedure for AES to conduct a nonjudicial
foreclosure sale to foreclose on the Debtor's and the non-debtor
co-owners' interests in the Redondo Property (the "Foreclosure
Sale"), which will have the effect of eliminating AES's right to
assert a deficiency claim under that certain performance deed of
trust that secures the AES Class 5B Secured Claim, but will permit
the Foreclosure Sale to proceed against the non-debtor co-owners of
the Redondo Property.

Upon the closing of the Foreclosure Sale, all non-debtor co-owners
of the Redondo Property and AES shall mutually release all claims
except for the claims pending in Adversary Proceeding No. 2:23-ap
01163-VZ. If the non-debtor co-owners interfere with the
Foreclosure Sale by filing a bankruptcy petition or otherwise, AES
retains the right (in AES's sole and absolute discretion) to shift
to a judicial foreclosure method to preserve any such deficiency
claim against each of the nondebtor co-owners, which under that
certain performance deed of trust securing the AES Class 5B Secured
Claim are jointly and severally liable. Under either the judicial
or nonjudicial sale models, however, the Debtor would be relieved
of any deficiency claim.

AES shall be deemed a qualified bidder in connection with the
Foreclosure Sale and shall be permitted to credit bid the AES Class
5B Secured Claim. The Foreclosure Sale of the Redondo Property
shall not be "free and clear" of, and shall remain subject to, the
Environmental DOT pursuant to the AES Class 5A Secured Claim.

Like in the prior iteration of the Plan, each holder of an Allowed
unsecured claim that is not (a) an Administrative Claim; (b) Tax
Claim; or (c) Other Priority Claim in Class 1 (collectively, the
"General Unsecured Claims"), except to the extent that a holder of
an Allowed General Unsecured Claim agrees to less favorable
treatment, shall receive the following as soon as practicable after
the Effective Date in full and complete settlement, release and
discharge of, and in exchange for its Allowed General Unsecured
Claim, payment of its Allowed Claim in full (100%) in cash with
interest at the Federal Judgment Rate from the Petition Date to the
Effective Date.

Subject to each of the AES Class 5A Secured Claim (and the
Environmental DOT securing such claim) and the AES Class 5B Secured
Claim (and the Performance DOT securing such claim), the Redondo
Property shall be sold pursuant to the Foreclosure Sale, which will
have the effect of eliminating AES's right to assert a deficiency
claim under the deed of trust providing the right to conduct the
Foreclosure Sale against the non-debtor co-owners of the Redondo
Property.

Upon the closing of the Foreclosure Sale, all non-debtor co-owners
of the Redondo Property and AES shall mutually release all claims
except for the claims pending in Adversary Proceeding No.
2:23-ap01163-VZ. If the non-debtor co owners interfere with the
Foreclosure Sale by filing a bankruptcy petition or otherwise, AES
retains the right to shift to a judicial foreclosure method to
preserve any such deficiency claims against each of the nondebtor
co-owners, which under the deed of trust are jointly and severally
liable. Under either the judicial or nonjudicial sale models,
however, the Debtor would be relieved of any deficiency claim.

AES, as the Plan sponsor, has agreed to fund distributions as soon
as practicable after the Effective Date of the Plan to holders of
Allowed Claims (i.e., Allowed Administrative Claims, Allowed Tax
Claims, Allowed Other Priority Claims in Class 1, and Allowed
General Unsecured Claims in Class 2) pursuant to Section VIII
herein. The maximum amount of AES's funding obligations to holders
of Allowed Claims represent conditions precedent to the occurrence
of the Effective Date.

If the Debtor has misrepresented the amount of Allowed Claims,
including Allowed Administrative Claims, and/or ultimately refuses
to pay the fees and expenses of the Debtor's professionals
(including attorneys' fees) and other Administrative Claims in the
ordinary course of the Debtor's business as the Debtor has done
during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Case to date, then there is a
risk that the aggregate amount of Allowed Claims could exceed the
conditions precedent to the Effective Date of the Plan and the
Effective Date may not occur unless waived by AES in AES's sole and
absolute discretion.

August 8, 2024 is available at https://urlcurt.com/u?l=3BMS3N from

AFB RESTAURANTS: Manakash Oven Starts Subchapter V Case
-------------------------------------------------------
Max Harrison-Caldwell of San Francisco Business Times reports that
Manakash Oven & Grill, hailed as one of the Bay Area's best Middle
Eastern restaurants in May 2024, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
August 16, 2024.  According to one of the owners, the restaurant
will remain open.

In its bankruptcy filing, ManakAsh reported about $32,000 in assets
-- about half of which is the estimated value of its kitchen
equipment -- and $1.1 million in liabilities.  A loan from
entrepreneur and co-owner Abdullah Taleb accounts for more than
$500,000 of that debt.  The filing also shows unsecured claims from
Black Olive Capital, the California Department of Tax and Fee
Administration, and Fintegra.

Taleb, a Bay Area-raised businessman, owns a 50% share in Manakash.
He said the restaurant filed for bankruptcy in order to
"reorganize" its finances, and that there would be no layoffs or
personnel changes.

Taleb said some the loans date back to a Merced restaurant he and
his business partner Ferass Abughan operated before opening
Manakish.

"Everything is going to remain the same," Taleb said. "We are just
doing a reorganization to deal with our ghosts in the closet."

In July, Manakash opened a San Jose location. Taleb said he hopes
to open more in the future -- part of the logic behind the Chapter
11 filing is "to make sure we have a proper financial plan for
expansion."

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the company incurred a net
loss of approximately $42.4 million. As of June 30, 2024, AgEagle

AIR INDUSTRIES: Secures $110 Million GTF Engine Component Contract
------------------------------------------------------------------
Air Industries Group announced that it has received a $110 million,
7-year contract for the production of Thrust Struts used in the
Geared Turbo-Fan (GTF) aircraft jet engine. Air Industries has been
the sole supplier of this critical component since 2015.

The new contract will commence in January 2025 and extend through
2031 replacing and expanding on an existing contract set to expire
in December of 2024. Once production and deliveries begin, annual
sales are expected to benefit significantly.

Lou Melluzzo, Chief Executive Officer of Air Industries Group
commented: "This contract is a milestone for our company,
underscoring the significance of our Thrust Struts product line,
which has been a cornerstone of our business for nearly a decade.
With this single order, our backlog has surged to over $280
million, marking the first time our backlog has exceeded a quarter
of a billion dollars. This order will significantly impact our top
and bottom lines, with this project alone expected to require
approximately 40,000 hours of production annually at our Long
Island manufacturing facility."

Melluzzo added. "This product is manufactured on highly specialized
machines that are challenging to procure. This order will be
supported by our strategic decision to previously invest in
upgrades and significant enhancements to our machinery and
equipment. No GTF engine can be fitted to an airframe without a
pair of Thrust Struts, making this a critical component in the
aerospace supply chain."

In conclusion, Melluzzo stated, "Following the recent Farnborough
Air Show, we remain focused on business development activities,
strengthening our relationships with long-standing customers, and
building new partnerships."

Peter Rettaliata, Chairman of the Board of Air Industries,
commented, "This remarkable achievement is a testament to the
focused and strategic efforts of Lou and his team. Their hard work
has not only strengthened our relationship with a key customer but
has also delivered significant win to our shareholders. This
accomplishment reflects the collective dedication and expertise of
our entire team. On behalf of the Board of Directors and our
shareholders, I extend my sincere congratulations and gratitude."

                  About Air Industries Group

Headquartered in Bay Shore, New York, Air Industries Group (NYSE
American: AIRI) is a manufacturer of precision components and
assemblies for large aerospace and defense prime contractors. Its
products include landing gears, flight controls, engine mounts, and
components for aircraft jet engines, ground turbines, and other
complex machines.

Saddle Brook, New Jersey-based Marcum LLP, the Company's auditor
since 2008, issued a "going concern" qualification in its report
dated April 15, 2024. The report noted that for the period ending
March 31, 2024, the Company was not in compliance with the
financial covenants required under the terms of its current credit
facility. It is reasonably possible that the Company will not
receive a waiver and may fail to meet these financial covenants in
future periods. The Company is required to maintain a collection
account with its lender into which substantially all of the
Company's cash receipts are remitted. If the Company's lender were
to cease lending and keep the funds remitted to the collection
account, the Company would lack the funds to continue its
operations. Failure to receive a waiver or meet the financial
covenants in future periods raises substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Air Industries Group reported a net loss of $2.13 million for the
year ended Dec. 31, 2023, compared to a net loss of $1.08 million
for the year ended Dec. 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2024, Air
Industries Group had $49,819,000 in total assets, $34,925,000 in
total liabilities, and $14,894,000 in total stockholders' equity.

Alpine 4 Holdings, Inc. (formerly Alpine 4 Technologies, Ltd) is a
publicly traded conglomerate that is acquiring businesses that fit
into its disruptive DSF business model of Drivers, Stabilizers, and
Facilitators. The Company's focus is on how the adaptation of new

benefit synergistically from each other and that the ability to

"[T]he Company has negative working capital and has continued to
experience operating losses, which causes doubt as to the ability
of the Company to continue. The Company's ability to raise
additional capital through the future issuances of common stock is
unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the successful
development of the Company's plan of operations, and its ultimate
transition to profitable operations are necessary for the Company
to continue. The uncertainty that exists with these factors raises
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern," according to the Company's Quarterly Report for the
three months ended Sept. 30, 2023.

The Company have yet to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the

AMERICAN DREAM: Pays Bondholders on Grant-Backed Debt
-----------------------------------------------------
Danielle Moran of Bloomberg News reports that the holders of $287
million of municipal bonds sold to help finance the construction of
the American Dream mega-mall in New Jersey's Meadowlands are poised
to receive overdue interest next week after two years of missed
payments.

The unrated bonds, which are backed by New Jersey economic
development grants, skipped payments after documentation necessary
to appropriate the funds ran into hurdles. New Jersey officials
needed to certify a project cost statement and the state Treasury
had to calculate the grant amount. The grant funds are tied to tax
revenue derived from sales at the mall, which saw double-digit
year-over-year increases, Bloomberg News reports.

Dec. 22, 2023, citing that the Company has suffered recurring
losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern.

"The Company had an accumulated deficit of $20,649,740 and
$19,853,444 at June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.
These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  While the
Company is attempting to increase operations and generate
additional revenues, the Company's cash position may not be
significant enough to support the Company's daily operations.
Management may raise additional funds through the sale of its
securities or borrowings from third parties," said AmeriCann in its
Quarterly Report for the period ended June 30, 2024.

ASENSUS SURGICAL: Completes Merger With KARL STORZ
--------------------------------------------------
Asensus Surgical, Inc. announced on August 22, 2024, the closing of
the merger with the KARL STORZ Group. The transaction was completed
following approval by the Asensus Surgical stockholders.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, KARL STORZ
Endoscopy-America, Inc., a wholly owned direct subsidiary of KARL
STORZ, has acquired all outstanding shares of Asensus Surgical for
$0.35 per share in cash. As a result of the acquisition, Asensus
Surgical has become a subsidiary of KARL STORZ and its common stock
has ceased trading on the NYSE American Exchange.

"We are thrilled to complete this merger with KARL STORZ, which
marks an exciting new chapter for Asensus," said Anthony Fernando,
Asensus Surgical President and CEO. "By joining forces with a
leading company in endoscopy that became a system provider for
integrated MedTech, we are well-positioned to accelerate the
development and delivery of our innovative robotic and digital
surgical solutions. This union will benefit patients and surgeons
worldwide by advancing precise, safer, and more predictable
surgical outcomes."

The closing of this acquisition is a significant milestone for both
companies.

"Asensus' cutting-edge technology and expertise in robotic surgery
complements our comprehensive portfolio of surgical solutions,"
said Karl-Christian Storz, CEO of KARL STORZ. "This enhances our
portfolio and market presence, strengthening our position in the
growing robotic and digital surgical market, particularly with the
development of the next generation LUNA™ system. We are thrilled
to welcome 200-plus talented Asensus team members into our company.
Together, we will revolutionize healthcare by delivering better
outcomes for patients and surgical teams worldwide."

Asensus was identified for acquisition by KARL STORZ for two
primary reasons: the organization's talent and technology. As a
potential partner, Asensus turned out to be a perfect fit due to
its similar philosophy and vision, and its experience in bringing
its first-generation Senhance robot to market. Its
second-generation LUNA™ System is also positioned to offer
enhanced robotic precision, greater dexterity and a superior range
of motion manipulation, which complements KARL STORZ's advanced
visualization capabilities.

American of the merger and requested delisting and deregistration
of its common stock. The NYSE American filed Form 25 with the SEC
on August 22, 2024. The stock will be suspended from trading on the
NYSE American as of the same date. The Company plans to file Form
15 with the SEC to deregister its common stock and suspend its
reporting obligations under the Exchange Act.

RSUs, and PRSUs lost all rights related to these securities, except

including Anthony Fernando, David Milne, Andrea Biffi, Kevin
Hobert, Elizabeth Kwo, Richard Pfenniger, and William Starling,
Jr., resigned from their positions and board committees as required

Company's Board. The Company's pre-merger executive officers
continued in their roles.

ATLAS LITHIUM: Amends RTEK Deal, Appoints Rodrigo Menck as Director
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Atlas Lithium Corporation disclosed in a Form 8-K Report filed with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that on August 16,
2024, the Company and RTEK International DMCC entered into the
second Amended and Restated Technical Services Agreement which
modified certain aspects of the Amended and Restated RTEK Agreement
dated March 31, 2024.

RTEK is a consulting firm that advises lithium explorers,
developers, and producers.

The Company's engagement of RTEK as its consultant to provide
services under now the Amended RTEK Agreement is enabling the
Company to finalize, assemble, deploy, and commission its Working
DMS Plant in a cost-effective method. As a result, personnel
affiliated with RTEK who worked at the Company as salaried
employees, officers, and in other capacities, will separate and no
longer be employed by the Company, and will continue to provide
services to the Company as RTEK consultants, compensated through
RTEK. While this new arrangement entails a reduction in current
cash expenses for the Company, RTEK will receive additional
incentive compensation in the form of restricted shares of the
Company's common stock related to achievement of specific
performance targets.

A number of managerial and compensatory provisions in the Amended
RTEK Agreement have been amended to provide for the following:

     i) Both parties have agreed to revise and amend the Stage Two
Budget, as per the terms of the revised Appendix 2 of the Amended
RTEK Agreement and further agreed to updated terms of services with
respect to the Phase Two Services (as such services are described
in the Amended RTEK Agreement);

    ii) The formation of an operations committee whose members will
be Mr. Brian Talbot, RTEK principal, and three technical employees
of the Company which shall meet weekly to ensure that the Company
is progressing towards its operational goals of an installed Plant
and its production of lithium concentrate. The Operations Committee
shall have the power to adjust the timing of, but not increase the
budget for contracted RTEK services under the Amended RTEK
Agreement in connection with the Phase Two Services, as also
outlined in Appendix I Part II of the Amended RTEK Agreement, and
as consideration for RTEK's performance and achievement of
enumerated milestones, the Company shall provide RTEK with
additional stock-based incentive compensation as follows:

     a. issuance of restricted shares of the Company's common stock
equivalent to $1,000,000 upon delivery of certain containers with
approximately 90% of the parts of the Company's Plant;

     b. issuance of restricted shares of the Company's common
equivalent to $500,000 when the vessel with the remaining items of
the Company's Plant arrives at the port in Brazil;

     c. issuance of restricted shares of the Company's common
equivalent to $1,000,000 when conditions b. and c. above are met by
certain deadlines and RTEK formally delivers to the Company a
properly reviewed version of the Plant's manuals and instructions
prepared by an engineering company;

     d. issuance of up restricted shares of the Company's common
equivalent to up to $2,500,000 when the Company receives
pre-payments for its lithium products in the amount of $40,000,000;
and

     e. issuance of restricted shares of the Company's common stock
with a value equivalent to the lesser of: i) $2,500,000 or ii)
6.25% of any amounts actually received from other pre-payments for
production, provided that: a) RTEK made such introduction(s), and
worked towards completion of any such agreement(s), and b) any such
agreements are not from excepted sources.

Any such incentive compensation to RTEK is only in the form of
restricted shares of the Company's common stock, and with respect
to items (a) through (e) above under no circumstances such
compensation shall exceed $5,000,000 in aggregate value.

Resignation of Director and Chief Operating Officer

On August 16, 2024, Brian Talbot resigned as a director and Chief
Operating Officer of the Company. Mr. Talbot is a principal of RTEK
and his departure is related to the adoption of the Amended RTEK
Agreement and his need to dedicate more time to the business of
RTEK on lithium projects outside of Brazil for which being a
director and officer of the Company presented a conflict of
interest. Under the terms of the Amended RTEK Agreement, Mr. Talbot
will be a member of the Operations Committee established under the
terms of the Amended RTEK Agreement.

As disclosed in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed
March 25, 2024, in connection with his appointment as director of
the Company, Mr. Talbot received 10,000 time-based restricted stock
units subject to vesting monthly in six equal installments. As of
the date of his resignation, Mr. Talbot had vested on 7,500 RSU
shares and in connection with his resignation, 500 RSU shares have
been accelerated, for a total number of 8,000 RSU shares.

In connection with Mr. Talbot's resignation, the Company's board of
Directors approved the appointment of Rodrigo Nazareth Menck, age
49, as a Director, to fill the vacancy created by the resignation
of Mr. Talbot. Mr. Menck's appointment is effective on August 16,
2024.

                        About Atlas Lithium

Headquartered in Minas Gerais, Brazil, Atlas Lithium Corporation --
http://www.atlas-lithium.com-- is a mineral exploration and
development company with lithium projects and multiple lithium
exploration properties. In addition, the Company owns exploration
properties in other battery minerals, including nickel, copper,
rare earths, graphite, and titanium. Its current focus is the
development from exploration to active mining of its hard-rock
lithium project located in the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil at a
well-known lithium-bearing pegmatitic district, which has been
denominated by the government of Minas Gerais as "Lithium Valley."

Atlas Lithium reported a net loss of $42.63 million for the 12
months ended Dec. 31, 2023, compared to a net loss of $5.66 million
for the 12 months ended Dec. 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2024, the
Company had $37.70 million in total assets, $35.10 million in total
liabilities, and $2.60 million in total stockholders' equity.

Atlas Lithium has historically incurred net operating losses and
has not yet generated material revenues from the sale of products
or services, according to the Company's Quarterly Report for the
three months ended June 30, 2024.  As a result, the Company's
primary sources of liquidity have been derived through proceeds
from the (i) sales of its equity and the equity of one of its
subsidiaries, and (ii) issuance of convertible debt.  As of June
30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $32,267,730
and working capital of $27,303,255, compared to cash and cash
equivalents $29,549,927 and a working capital of $24,044,931 as of
December 31, 2023.  The Company believes its cash and cash and
equivalents will be sufficient to meet its working capital and
capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least 12 months
from the date of these financial statements. However, the Company's
future short- and long-term capital requirements will depend on
several factors.  To the extent its current resources are
insufficient to satisfy its cash requirements, the Company may need
to seek additional equity or debt financing.  If the needed
financing is not available, or if the terms of financing are less
desirable than it expects, the Company may be forced to scale back
its existing operations and growth plans, which could have an
adverse impact on its business and financial
prospects and could raise substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern.

AUDACY INC: Court Okays 6-Week Chapter 11 Case Extension
--------------------------------------------------------
Paul McLane of Radio World reports that a federal bankruptcy judge
has approved Audacy's request for a six-week extension of an
important debt deadline.

As Radio World reported earlier this week, Audacy filed an
emergency motion to push back a key maturities date to the end of
September. As a result, a short hearing was held Thursday in front
of Judge Christopher Lopez of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of Texas in Houston.

Audacy explained to the judge that it is still awaiting FCC
approval of its Chapter 11 reorganization.

"We had always anticipated that it would take approximately 4 to 6
months to receive FCC approval from or after the date from which
the application was submitted," bankruptcy lawyer Caroline Reckler
of Latham & Watkins told the judge in the hearing, "and we remain
within that window, albeit at the latter end."

She said Audacy is optimistic it will receive FCC approval soon.

"That said, the FCC's actions are ultimately outside of our control
and there is no deadline by which the FCC must act."

The judge's approval of the emergency motion essentially preserves
the status quo of agreements between the company and its lenders
for another six weeks.

Reckler told the judge Audacy had "worked diligently with our
lenders to extend the maturities deadlines through September 30,
2024. We very much appreciate the lenders' support. They've worked
very cooperatively and constructively with us to get the company
ready to emerge from bankruptcy and on these extensions."

Audacy did not make the interest payments on its senior secured

($17 million due Oct. 31, 2023), senior secured second-lien notes
due 2027 ($15 million due Nov. 1, 2023), or senior secured

BIG LOTS: Closes Norfolk, Virginia Beach Stores
-----------------------------------------------
3 WTKR reports that Big Lots will be closing nine Virginia stores

of its stores, following an earlier warning that its future was in
"substantial doubt" amid ongoing financial troubles.

The following Virginia stores will be closed:

* 590 Branchlands Blvd, Charlottesville

The discount retailer previously said it planned to close as many
as 40 stores during its most recent earnings report in June, when
it recorded a 10 percent decrease in sales and a $205 million loss
for the quarter because customers are cutting back on spending.

In a recent regulatory filing, Big Lots said it would increase the
number of closures to 315 stores, part of an updated loan agreement
to secure its finances.

A specific list wasn't revealed, but Big Lots is listing closing
sales at hundreds of its 1,389 stores on its website.

Big Lots said in a statement Tuesday, August 13, 2024, to CNN that
it's "taking decisive actions to operate efficiently and reviewing
our store footprint on an ongoing basis to make sure we're best
positioned to serve our customers and our business."

A company spokesperson said that although a "majority" of its
stores are profitable, it’s making the "difficult decision to
close certain underperforming stores."

"We are confident that the steps we are taking will best position
the company for the future as we return to our roots, focus on
owning the bargain space, and deliver unmistakable value to our
customers," Big Lots said.

BOSTON MARKETS: Wants to Close 27 Stores Left, Plans Chapter 7
--------------------------------------------------------------
Dave Basner of The Steve Harvey Morning Show reports that fast food
chain Boston Market that once had 1,200 restaurants about To Close
Remaining 27.

Plenty of restaurant chains have closed locations or filed for
bankruptcy over financial problems, like Red Lobster, Pizza Hut,
Buca di Beppo, TGI Fridays, Popeyes, Tijuana Flats, Cracker Barrel
and Applebee's, but few have seen as big a drop in profits as
Boston Market. At its peak, the popular fast food chain boasted
1,200 restaurants but now, it's down to just 27, and all of their
days are numbered.

Four years ago, Engage Brands, LLC, which is owned by Jignesh
Pandya, acquired Boston Market, and it has struggled. In December,
Pandya declared bankruptcy personally, claiming liabilities in the
range of $10-50 million dollars, in part due to judgements against
him, including one against another company he owns, Yum Brands,
which is facing an $11 million penalty over legal issues with Pizza
Hut locations.

Typically, this wouldn't affect another company he owns like Engage
Brands, but unfortunately, that company is also embroiled in some
serious lawsuits, including one that ended in a court ordering them
to pay $15 million to one of their vendors, US Foods. There are
hundreds of others who have sued Boston Market and Engage Brands
over money owed as well. Another judgement demanded that the
brand's bank hand over all money in its accounts to US Foods, but
because so many other companies have made claims on the funds, the
bank can't do it, according to Restaurant Business.

Pandya has tried to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy for Engage, but
a court rejected his petitions and in April 2024, barred him from
filing for it again until October. Meanwhile, their headquarters
has been seized over unpaid taxes. There may not even be 27
restaurants left but the store locator on the chain's page is out
of date, listing locations that have permanently closed. In fact,
the only reason the remaining Boston Markets that are still open
can even continue is because of the complex court issues
surrounding the company.

To say things look bleak for Boston Market is an understatement,
and assuming all forms are properly filed in October, it's expected
that with this level of debt, a Chapter 7 bankruptcy is coming,
which would see all remaining stores shutter immediately.

California.


BOVINE PROPERTIES: $3.7M Sale to Daisy River to Fund Plan
---------------------------------------------------------
Bovine Properties, LLC, filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Southern District of Iowa a Disclosure Statement describing
Chapter 11 Plan dated August 9, 2024.

The Debtor is an Iowa Limited Liability Company incorporated on
January 12, 2021. The owners of Bovine Properties are Adam Naeve
(10%), Andrew Naeve (45%) and Ray Naeve (45%). Andrew Naeve is the
President of the Debtor.  

The Debtor was organized to own a beef processing plant in
Camanche, Iowa. Building of the plant began in August 2021.
Construction was funded by a construction loan secured by a
mortgage on the property by Clinton National Bank (CNB). Since the
plant opened significantly later than planned, without the general
contractor notifying Bovine of the delay in opening, the plant
operator, Naeve Family Beef, LLC, hired its workers two months
before the plant opened, based on the projected opening date.

The plant immediately started operating at a loss. The beef
processing plant operated from June 2022 to August 18, 2023. After
the closing of the plant Bovine and its affiliates, Naeve Family
Beef, LLC, Meat & Greet, LLC and other guarantors of the loans from
Clinton National Bank entered into a Forbearance Agreement with
CNB.

After the plant closed, the Debtor defended several lawsuits in the
Iowa District Court for Clinton County, Iowa to foreclose
mechanic's liens. These lawsuits were consolidated into one suit
before the Iowa Business Court as case no. EQCV048491. The case was
set to go to trial on May 5, 2024. It did not go to trial given the
automatic stay due to Bovine's bankruptcy filing on April 10,
2024.

On the date of filing this case, the Debtor retained an auctioneer
to sell the Plant owned by the Debtor and the equipment owned by
Naeve Family Beef, LLC. After the filing of the Status Report, the
Debtor continued its efforts to locate a buyer for the Plant. On
July 16, 2024, the Debtor filed its Motion to Sell the Plant Free
and Clear of Liens. This Court approved the Motion to Sell Free and
Clear of Liens on August 5, 2024.

Class 4 consists of General Unsecured Claims. General Unsecured
Claims5 will receive no distribution under this Plan of
Liquidation. Under Bankruptcy Code 1126(g), this Class is
conclusively deemed to reject this Plan and is not entitled to vote
to accept or reject it.

All Interests in the Debtor owned by Adam Naeve, Andrew Naeve and
Ray Naeve. On the Effective Date this Class will not be
extinguished. It shall have no value as the assets of the Debtor
will have been liquidated by the date of Confirmation. No
Distribution will be made on account of these Interests.

The Plan is feasible as the sale of the property to Daisy River
Real Estate, LLC has been approved by this Court on August 5, 2024.
The Debtor believes the sale will close by the date of the
confirmation hearing or by the middle of September 2024 and will
net the Debtor approximately $3.7 million before the allocation for
the Class 3 creditors and US Trustee fees as is shown by the
projected closing statement attached to the Plan.

The sale of the Debtor's real property will fund the Plan. The
provisions of the Plan providing for the Allocation by CNB to fund
payments to the Mechanic's Liens and the US Trustee quarterly fees
provide the funds necessary to consummate the Plan. Affiliates of
the Debtor have guaranteed payment of the Attorney Fees of the
Debtor.

BOXLIGHT CORP: Gets 180-Day Extension to Regain Nasdaq Compliance
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Boxlight Corporation disclosed in a Form 8-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission that on Aug. 27, 2024, The
Nasdaq Stock Market LLC advised the Company in writing that, while
the Company had not regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule,
the Company had been granted an additional 180 calendar day
extension, or until Feb. 24, 2025, to regain compliance with the
Bid Price Rule.  Nasdaq's determination was based on the Company
having met the continued listing requirement for market value of
publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for
initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of
the Bid Price Rule, and on the Company's written notice to Nasdaq
of its intention to cure the deficiency during the extended
compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if
necessary.

On Feb. 28, 2024, Boxlight received a letter from Nasdaq notifying
the Company that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company's
Class A Common Stock for the previous 30 consecutive business days,
the Company no longer met the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule
5550(a)(2).  In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A),
the Company was provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or
until Aug. 26, 2024, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.

If the Company does not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule
by the end of the extended compliance period, the Staff will
provide written notification to the Company that its Class A Common
Stock will be subject to delisting.  At that time, the Company may
appeal the Staff's delisting determination to a hearings panel.
There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance
with the Bid Price Rule or that the Company will otherwise maintain
compliance with any of the other listing requirements for The
Nasdaq Capital Market.

BUCA TEXAS: Govt. Attorneys Challenge $36 Mil. Bankruptcy Loan
--------------------------------------------------------------
Alex Wolf of Bloomberg Law reports that a Texas bankruptcy judge
should reject the terms of a $36 million loan for Buca di Beppo's
Chapter 11 case that would elevate a sizable chunk of the
restaurant chain's pre-bankruptcy debt, government attorneys said.

The Chapter 11 loan package being offered by Main Street Capital
Corp. may be worth $36 million on paper, but it provides Buca with
only $12 million of new money. The rest of the financing, known as
a "roll up," grants top priority repayment status to another $24
million worth of debt the Italian eatery already owes its private
equity firm lender, Bloomberg Law reports.

CAN BROTHERS: Unsecureds Will Get 10% Dividend in Plan
------------------------------------------------------
CAN Brothers Construction, Inc. submitted a First Amended
Disclosure Statement in connection with the Plan of Reorganization
dated August 9, 2024.

This First Amended Disclosure Statement describes the Debtor's plan
to reorganize its business debt and remain in operation.

The First Amended Disclosure Statement and the Plan under Chapter
11 of the Code propose to address claims of creditors from ongoing
operation of the Debtor's business, providing payment in full of
equipment lien holders and secured lien holders.

The Plan provides for two classes of secured claims, Class 2
consisting of the Bank of NH and IOU which will be paid in full
from the sale of certain pieces of equipment and Class 3 consisting
of the SBA and the equipment lien holders who will continue to
receive monthly payments until paid in full. Class 4 is the class
of unsecured claim holders. The unsecured creditor class will
receive its first dividend payment within thirty days of
confirmation.

The Debtor has approximately $4,704,439.61 in unsecured debt. The
Debtor anticipates that the final amount of unsecured debt will be
reduced once objections to proofs of claim are determined.

The Debtor will fund a Plan from income earned from site and
construction work on contracts. The Debtor expects that General
Unsecured Creditors will receive a dividend of ten percent,
depending upon the amount of the holders of allowed General
Unsecured Claims.

The Debtor plans on selling the 2018 International Truck. The
Debtor would like to sell the 2018 International truck for
approximately $125,000.00 and pay off the remaining balance due the
lienholder BMO (POC #5). The remaining net sales proceeds would be
used to pay the outstanding post-petition arrearages owed to the
equipment lien holders, including BMO's liens (POC #4 and #6) on
two other pieces of equipment that are necessary to continue
operating the business.

The Debtor also plans on selling the John Deere Roadtec RX900
milling machine for approximately $100,000.00. From the sale
proceeds of the Roadtec TX 900 Milling Machine, the Debtor will pay
the John Deere lien (POC #14) on the Roadtec in the amount of
$33,000.00. The Debtor will also use the sale proceeds to bring
current the remaining two John Deere liens on the Komatsu Crawler
Excavator (POC #7) and the Erin PC-400 Concrete Equipment and
Powerscreen Chief Concrete Equipment (POC #15). Once Claim #14 is
paid in full, and Claims #7 and #15 are brought current, the Debtor
will use the remaining net sale proceeds to fund its plan of
reorganization and bring current the remaining post petitioner
arrearages on secured equipment liens.

The Debtor anticipates generating approximately $65,000.00 from the
sales of these 2 pieces of equipment. Both of these sales will have
to be Section 363 sales so that the items may be sold free and
clear of the SBA's blanket lien. The Debtor plans on filing the
motion with the court to allow these sales.

Class 4 includes all General Unsecured Creditors and Claims,
including all those creditors identified in Exhibit A, the IRS, and
OSHA. This Class is impaired. Creditors in Class 4 will receive
dividend payments with the first payment to be made within 30 days
of confirmation of the plan. Each unsecured creditor will receive a
dividend payment of ten percent of its claim. The total dividend
payment will be in the approximate amount of $108,000.00. The
allowed unsecured claims total $1,088,346.80.

Upon confirmation of the plan, the Debtor will continue to operate
the business, pay its monthly operating expenses, continue to
submit bids for projects, and continue with the current management
of the Debtor.

CKM SHINING: Claims to be Paid From Available Cash & Sale Proceeds
------------------------------------------------------------------
CKM Shining Stars, LLC, filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Central District of California a Disclosure Statement
describing Chapter 11 Plan dated August 9, 2024.

The Debtor was originally formed as a State of California limited
liability company on July 26, 2013. The Debtor owns real property
located at 3929 El Camino Real, San Clemente, California 92672 (the
"Property").

Carl N. Karcher transferred title to the Property to Levecke in
1982. On or about September 1, 2016, LeVecke transferred title for
the Property to the Debtor, CKM Shining Stars, LLC, a Wyoming
limited liability company.

The Property has been operated as a Carl's Jr. restaurant from 1978
to the present with a lease to Carl Karcher Enterprises, Inc.
commencing in 1978 and continuing with various lease amendments and
lease option extensions. Carl's Jr. Restaurants LLC ("Carl's Jr.")
formerly known as Carl Karcher Enterprises subleased the Property
to Wiles Restaurants and Bret Wiles (collectively, "Wiles") on or
about October 2, 2001 ("Sublease").

The Debtor continued to explore options for redevelopment of the
Property, believing that reasonable consent would be given to
viable projects by Carl's Jr., Sullivan, and Wiles, such as
Starbucks, Dutch Bros., and other similar retail establishments,
which reasonable consent was continuously denied to Debtor. In
addition, Debtor was preyed upon by its lender and loan broker in
extending two separate loans, each with a higher loan balance
unsupported by the rental income generated by the Property.

The Plan contemplates that the Debtor will either develop its real
property and reorganize or it will liquidate its real property and
distribute the proceeds and funds on hand to its Creditors on
account of Allowed Claims and Interest Holders in accordance with
the priorities set forth in the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtor will
continue to be managed by its current management following the
Effective Date of the Plan.

Class 4 consists of All General Unsecured Claims that are not
Administrative Claims or Priority Claims. Allowed General Unsecured
Claims will be paid in full on the Effective Date. If a Class 4
Claim is disputed on the Effective Date, then pending resolution of
the dispute by a Final Order, the Debtor will reserve sufficient
funds to pay the Disputed Claim as agreed or as ordered by the
Court. Once the dispute is resolved by a Final Order, the Debtor
will make a Distribution on account of the Allowed Class 4 Claim in
accordance with the treatment described in the foregoing
paragraph.

If Debtor (1) fails to make any payment required under this Plan,
or (2) fails to perform any other obligation required under this
Plan for more than 14 days after the time specified in this Plan,
or (3) performs any act that is inconsistent with the terms of this
Plan, then a holder of an Allowed Class 4 Claim may file and serve
upon Debtor and Debtor's attorney a written notice of default at
their most recent address(es) listed in this Case.

Class 5 consists of Equity Interest Holders. Interest Holders are
the parties who hold ownership interests (i.e., equity interests)
in the Debtor. After the payment to Classes 1 to 4 as set forth
herein, all remaining property of the Debtor's estate, after
consummation of the sale of the Property pursuant to the terms of
the Plan, shall be revested in the Debtor on the Effective Date and
Interests in the Debtor shall be retained and are unimpaired.

On the Effective Date, all Assets of the Debtor and the Estate will
be vested in the Debtor, including all of the Debtor's and the
Estate's right, title, and interest in and to the Assets. As of the
Effective Date, the Assets of the Debtor shall be free and clear of
all Liens, Claims, and interests of Holders of Claims and
Interests, pursuant to Sections 363(f), 1123, 1141 and 1146(c) of
the Bankruptcy Code, except as otherwise provided in the Plan.
Funding for the Plan shall come from the Debtor's sale of the
Property.

The Distributions to Creditors under the Plan will be funded
primarily from the following sources: (a) the Debtor's cash on hand
on the Effective Date, and (b) the net proceeds (after payment of
broker's commissions, escrow fees and other costs of sale) from the
sale of the Property or from the development of the Property.
Debtor anticipates that the net proceeds from the sale of the
Property or from the development of the Property will be sufficient
to pay off all Creditors the amount of their Allowed Claims in
full.

COACH USA: Megabus Ends Services in Texas After Chapter 11 Filing
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Kyle McClenagan and Tom Perumean of Houston Public Media report
that Megabus ends service in Houston, other Texas cities, following
parent company's, Coach USA, bankruptcy.

North American city-to-city bus provider Megabus has abruptly ended
its services to and from Houston and other major Texas cities,
meaning Houstonians will have to turn to other providers for
interstate bus transit.

"Unfortunately, Megabus had to make the difficult business decision
to discontinue our service to/from Texas," VP of Commercial for
Megabus Colin Emberson said in a press release. "We are still
offering trips to more than 500 cities in North America and we're
always looking for opportunities to provide new routes in the
future."

Megabus announced on its website that all services to Dallas,
Austin, San Antonio and Houston would be discontinued as of August
16, 2024. The company also apologized for any inconvenience and
said customers who had already purchased prescheduled tickets would
be contacted and refunded. Other routes across the country were
also canceled, including services between New York, Baltimore,
Philadelphia and Washington D.C.

Mustafa Tameez, a representative for Transportation Advocacy Group
Houston, said the sudden suspension of Megabus in Texas would leave
vulnerable Texans with even fewer transportation options.

"Commuters, again, are left stranded holding the bag for what looks
like a private equity purchase," he said. "Consumers are going to
have to find their way [into] the big cities. ... So many of them
have just counted on this service for so many years."

In early June, Coach USA — the parent company of Megabus —
commenced voluntary Chapter 11 proceedings in a District of
Delaware U.S. Bankruptcy Court, according to an announcement.

"As we move through this process, our top priority remains safely
carrying the millions of passengers who choose our buses each year
and working closely with our valued contract customers and
transportation agency partners," Coach USA CEO Derrick Waters said
in a statement.

On Aug. 14, the parent company announced via a press release that
the bankruptcy court had approved the acquisition of Megabus Retail
by Bus Company Holdings U.S., LLC, an affiliate of The Renco Group
— a private holding company based out of New York City.

According to PR Newswire, all of Megabus's intellectual property
and retail operations are expected to be a part of the
transaction.

Before Coach USA announced its bankruptcy, the company said it
operated 2,250 vehicles, and more than 2,700 employees across 500
U.S. cities. Megabus was founded in 2006 and began service in
Houston in 2012.

At the time of publication, Coach USA did not respond to a request
for comment on how many, if any, employees were laid off due to the
termination of services in Texas.

Texans still hoping to travel within the "Urban Triangle" of
Houston, Austin, San Antonio and Dallas via bus still have several
options. Transit company Red Coach still operates routes to and
from Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Waco and College
Station. Flix Bus — a Munich-based company that bought Greyhound
in early 2023 — also still offers services throughout Texas.

With the exit of Megabus from Texas, Tameez said he hopes other
businesses set up to fill the gap in the market.

"Whether [it's] the bus companies or the rail or even just
Southwest Airlines — and other airlines that connect our big hub
cities — consumers still have to travel in between these big
economic engines and we need support from the private sector as
well as the public sector to make sure those options are available
and available soon," he said.

One of the communities most likely to be affected by the end of
Megabus is university students, Tameez said.

"The biggest consumers of Megabus were students, people that
weren't able to afford the airlines," he said. "Those consumers are
left stranded with that kind of devastating announcement on a very
short time turnaround. This was an economical way to go see your
family, to go to college and even go for work purposes, to go other
places seeking opportunity. Those people are the ones that are left
holding the bag with this private equity acquisition and this
horrific liquidation."

CORDIAL LOGISTICS: Continued Operations to Fund Plan
----------------------------------------------------
Cordial Logistics, LLC, filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Northern District of West Virginia a Plan of Reorganization
dated August 9, 2024.

The Debtor owns a number of trucks and trailers. Historically, the
Debtor was purchasing trucks and/or trailers. Some vehicles were
operated by the Debtor. Some were leased. Income was derived from a
percentage of what was hauled.

The Debtor had too many vehicles, and when there was less hauling
to do, the Debtor was slow to eliminate vehicles. This caused
overhead to be disproportionate to income. It also left expenses
for trucking insurance out of step with income.

After filing, Debtor has attempted to right size operations.
Vehicles are now being leased to other operators. While
compensation remains on a percentage basis, the dynamics of those
contracts has shifted all insurance expense, and the expenses
associated with lack of work to others.

This Plan proposes to pay creditors from income from operations of
Cordial Logistics, LLC for 36 months from confirmation.

Class 3 shall consist of all non-priority unsecured claims.
Unsecured claims, including deficiency claims shall be totaled and
paid a pro rata share of the sums devoted to the plan less the sum
of all administrative, secured and priority claims have been paid
in full. Because of the right of in this plan for deficiency claims
to be filed after confirmation, it is not possible to project an
exact pro rata distribution to unsecured creditors at this time.

Non-priority unsecured claims holding allowed unsecured claims will
receive distributions which Cordial Logistics, LLC. Cordial
Logistics, LLC believes there will be significant sums to make
payments, but the size and amount of the unsecured creditor pool
prevents an accurate calculation at this time. The Plan also
provides for payment of Administrative and Priority Claims.

Class 4 shall consist of the interest of the Debtor. The equity
interest is held 100% by David Cordial. It shall not be impaired
under the Plan.

CORIZON HEALTH: Giddings Suit May Proceed Against Other Defendants
------------------------------------------------------------------
The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit affirmed,
as modified in part, the orders by the United States District Court
for the District of Maryland granting summary judgment to various
prison officials at the Maryland Correctional Training Center, as
well as Corizon Health, Inc., and two individual doctors, on claims
raised by Warren Matthew Giddings pursuant to 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983
(Civil action for deprivation of rights).

Corizon has filed a suggestion of bankruptcy and notice of
automatic stay informing the Fourth Circuit that it commenced
Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings in February 2023. The automatic
stay precludes the appellate court from reviewing the district
court's disposition of Giddings' claim against Corizon.

The Fourth Circuit says, "As to the district court's disposition of
Giddings' claims against the remaining Defendants, we have reviewed
the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we grant
Giddings' motion to proceed under the Prison Litigation Reform Act,
and we affirm the district court's order as to all defendants
except Corizon. Because the court found that Giddings failed to
exhaust his administrative remedies with respect to his claims
against the Correctional Defendants, we modify the district court's
ruling on those claims to render it a dismissal without
prejudice."

DIOCESE OF ROCHESTER: Parties Ask Court to Delay Confirmation
-------------------------------------------------------------
Will Astor of Rochester Beacon reports that parties in the Roman
Catholic Diocese of Rochester's Chapter 11 bankruptcy have asked to
put off a previously scheduled hearing for the court to consider
confirmation of the diocese's plan of reorganization.

Plan confirmations by Bankruptcy Court judges are a final step in
Chapter 11 cases before creditors can be paid. Creditors in the
diocese case are more than 400 survivors of childhood sexual abuse
by priests and other church officials.

Parties say they need time to revise the current reorganization
plan to accommodate a June 27, 2024 U.S. Supreme Court ruling.

How much plan revisions might further delay a conclusion to the now
five-year-old case is not clear.

The diocese asked for court protection in 2019 a month after New
York's Child Victims Act took effect. The act opened a two-year
window for such survivors to pursue abusers who otherwise would
have been protected by a statute of limitations.  

The diocese's reorganization plan was jointly submitted last April
by the diocese and the official creditors committee, a body
appointed by the U.S. Trustee to look out for abuse survivors’
interests in the bankruptcy.  

In an Aug. 20 Bankruptcy Court filing, the diocese, along with the
abuse survivors committee and attorneys representing the
Continental Insurance Co., asked Bankruptcy Judge Paul Warren to
postpone the Sept. 3 hearing to an unspecified date.

The parties are asking for the postponement to give the diocese and
the committee time to amend their plan to accommodate the U.S.
Supreme Court's June 27 ruling in the Purdue Pharma bankruptcy.

Continental Insurance, also known as CNA, is considering submitting
a rival plan, the Aug. 20 filing states.

Survivors overwhelmingly approved the diocese plan in a vote this
year and in the same vote equally overwhelmingly rejected a rival
plan submitted by Continental Insurance.

The diocese plan proposes to create a $127.3 million trust fund to
pay survivors' claims in the bankruptcy. The diocese and its 86
parishes would jointly contribute $55 million with the balance
coming from several of the diocese's liability carriers. CNA would
not contribute to the trust but instead would have to face
survivors in future state-court CVA cases.

A lone holdout among the diocese's insurers, CNA could not come to
terms with the survivors committee, which rejected a CNA offer to
add $63.5 million to the trust. CNA's voted-down rival
reorganization plan mirrored the diocese’s and committee’s
plan, adding a proposal to up CNA's contribution to $75 million and
in exchange be excused from future liability.  

Survivors committee attorney Ilan Scharf has portrayed both CNA
offers as unacceptably below what other insurers are willing to pay
on a per-survivor basis. CNA would be responsible for covering more
than 300 of the bankruptcy’s more than 450 survivor claims.

Warren had long warned that a Purdue decision would be likely to
upend the diocese case.

The high court's ruling bars Bankruptcy Court judges from excusing
parties not directly involved in bankruptcies from liability. As
currently written, the diocese plan would excuse the diocese's 86
parishes from future liability in exchange for their financial
contribution to fund to compensate survivors.

Though parishes are considered part of their home diocese under
church law, Catholic parishes in New York are registered as
separate corporations.

The Aug. 20 filing gives no hint as to how the parties might
resolve the Purdue issue or how soon they might do so.

Also yet to be resolved is CNA's claim that the diocese owes it an
unspecified sum for backing out of the $63.5 million deal. The
insurer contends the diocese breached a contract when it called off
the deal. The diocese maintains no contract was concluded. A
substantial judgment in CNA's favor would add another complication
to the case's already tangled settlement negotiations.

Warren presided over a two-day trial on the CNA claim last month.
He issued no ruling at the trial's July 31 conclusion but gave CNA
30 days to submit a post-trial brief.

As of May 31, the diocese had spent $14 million to pay lawyers,
accountants and consultants working on the bankruptcy. Such
expenses continue to mount in six-figure sums monthly while the
case continues.

The Diocese of Rochester in upstate New York provides support to 86
Roman catholic parishes across 12 counties in upstate New York. It

The Diocese of Rochester filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection
(Bankr. W.D.N.Y. Case No. 19-20905) on Sept. 12, 2019, amid a wave
of lawsuits over alleged sexual abuse of children. In the petition,
the diocese was estimated to have $50 million to $100 million in
assets and at least $100 million in liabilities.

Bond, Schoenec & King, PLLC and Bonadio & Co. serve as the
diocese's legal counsel and accountant, respectively.  Stretto is
the claims and noticing agent.

The U.S. Trustee for Region 2 appointed an official committee of
unsecured creditors in the diocese's Chapter 11 case.  Pachulski
Stang Ziehl & Jones, LLP and Berkeley Research Group, LLC serve as
the committee's legal counsel and financial advisor, respectively.


DIOCESE OF SYRACUSE: Insurers' Bids to Withdraw Reference Denied
----------------------------------------------------------------
Judge David N. Hurd of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of New York denied the motions filed by various
insurers including Arrowpoint Capital to withdraw the reference in
the bankruptcy case of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Syracuse, New
York.

This case arises out of an ongoing chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding
filed by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Syracuse,
New York, along with a number of its individual Parishes, in June
2020. The Diocese seeks declaratory relief against a group of its
insurers. According to the Diocese, those insurers have failed to
defend the Diocese in state-court actions alleging that the Diocese
negligently supervised and hired staff who sexually abused
individuals. Five groups of insurers have filed or joined in this
civil action, which began as a motion for an Order "withdrawing the
reference" to the bankruptcy court to the extent it involves the
Claims arising out of the coverage disputes over the insurers'
alleged failure to defend the state-court actions.

The district courts have original jurisdiction over proceedings
under the Bankruptcy Code, 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1334(b), but they
ordinarily refer those cases to the bankruptcy judges, since they
are the subject matter experts.

Judge Hurd notes that in a non-core proceeding, absent consent, the
bankruptcy judge is limited to submitting proposed findings of fact
and conclusions of law to the district court for review. According
to Judge Hurd, when the issue is a "non-core" one, the district
court may (and in limited cases must) withdraw, in whole or in
part, any case or proceeding that has been referred, either on its
own motion or by motion of a party, for "cause shown."

The statute does not define "cause" but the Second Circuit has set
forth a multi-pronged test for showing it, Judge Hurd says,
pointing to In re Orion Pictures Corp., 4 F.3d 1095 (2d Cir. 1993).
The factors include:

   (1) whether the bankruptcy court has constitutional authority to
enter a final decision;
   (2) judicial economy;
   (3) uniformity in bankruptcy administration;
   (4) economical use of debtors' and creditors' resources;
   (5) reduction of forum shopping and confusion;
   (6) expediting the bankruptcy process; and
   (7) the presence of a jury demand.

The insurers argue that each of the seven Orion factors favor
withdrawing the reference, which would mean that the Claims would
be adjudicated in this district court civil action rather than by
the bankruptcy court. The insurers point out that the district
courts downstate have granted insurers' motions to withdraw the
reference in a bankruptcy proceeding filed another diocese.

Upon review of the parties' briefing in light of the Orion factors
and the governing law, the insurers' motions will be denied with
leave to renew, if necessary, at a later stage of the proceedings,
Judge Hurd holds.

EMERGENT BIOSOLUTIONS: Receives U.S.D FDA OK for Mpox Indication
----------------------------------------------------------------
Emergent BioSolutions Inc. announced Aug. 29 that the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the supplemental Biologics
License Application (sBLA) for the expansion of the indication for
ACAM2000, (Smallpox and Mpox (Vaccinia) Vaccine, Live) to include
prevention of mpox disease in individuals determined to be at high
risk for mpox infection.  The approval is based on previously
available human safety data and data from a well-controlled animal
study in which ACAM2000 vaccine was shown to be effective in
protecting against mpox virus exposure.

ACAM2000 is a single-dose vaccine administered percutaneously via a
bifurcated needle that is dipped into the vaccine solution and the
skin is pricked several times in the upper arm with a droplet of
the vaccine.

The vaccine was first approved by the FDA in 2007 for active
immunization for the prevention of smallpox disease in individuals
determined to be at high risk for smallpox infection.  Mpox,
previously called monkeypox, is an infectious disease endemic to
central and west Africa caused by the double-stranded DNA mpox
virus.  The virus is a member of the Orthopoxvirus genus in the
Poxviridae family, related to the virus which caused smallpox,
which was eradicated in 1980.

"The FDA approval of ACAM2000 for immunization against mpox in
high-risk individuals further strengthens and broadens our
industry-leading smallpox portfolio, which includes VIGIV and
TEMBEXA, said Joe Papa, president and CEO of Emergent.  "This
expanded indication for ACAM2000 comes at a critical time as the
global health community comes together to ensure an effective and
cohesive response to the recent upsurge in mpox cases.  Emergent is
poised to support the global response needed by actively engaging
with world health leaders, as well as deploying product currently
available in inventory based on the needs, as well as the ability
to increase supply."

This approval follows Emergent's announcement that it filed an
Expression of Interest (EOI) with the World Health Organization
(WHO) for the WHO's assessment of ACAM2000 vaccine to be added as
an Emergency Use Listing in connection with the mpox outbreak.
Emergent also is in discussions with other global public health
leaders to help address the current mpox outbreak in response to
the WHO's Director-General's August 14 statement declaring that the
upsurge of mpox is a public health emergency of international
concern under the International Health Regulations.  As part of its
support to the response, Emergent announced that it will donate
50,000 doses of ACAM2000 for potential deployment across impacted
countries in Central Africa.

"Mpox has progressed to become an uncontrolled epidemic in Africa
-- prompting the WHO to declare a second public health emergency of
international concern -- creating an enormous need to use all
effective tools to extinguish it as a threat," said Dr. Amesh A.
Adalja, FIDSA FACP FACEP & health security and emerging infectious
diseases expert, Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security.

"ACAM2000, a direct descendant of the Jenner vaccine (humanity's
first) which was used to eradicate smallpox, and now with the
broadened indication, will be an invaluable tool in this
endeavor."

In 2022, the world experienced a global outbreak of clade II mpox,
which led to more than 95,000 cases across 115 non-endemic
countries.

The clade I variant of mpox is characterized by more severe
clinical outcomes and a higher case fatality rate.  The recently
identified clade Ib variant, exhibiting enhanced transmissibility
through close contact, has led to an increase in cases,
particularly in Central Africa, and a sizable impact on children
and families.  According to the WHO, clade I mpox tends to cause a
higher number of severe infections and have a higher mortality rate
than clade II mpox.

ENDO INT'L: Trustee Sues TPG for $4.5 Billion Over Sale of Par
--------------------------------------------------------------
James Nani of Bloomberg Law reports that a bankruptcy plan trustee
said private equity giant TPG Capital should pay $4.5 billion to
Endo International Plc unsecured creditors for its "profiteering"
sale of Par Pharmaceutical Holdings Inc. to the company and helping
fuel the opioid epidemic.

TPG's May 2015 sale of generic opioid maker Par to Endo, the maker
of pain drugs like Opana and Percocet, for $8.05 billion loaded
Endo up with a "mountain of further opioid liabilities" as
nationwide scrutiny over such sales increased, according to
complaint filed Friday in the US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York.

                  About Endo International PLC

Endo International plc (OTC: ENDPQ) is a generics and branded
pharmaceutical company. It develops, manufactures, and sells
branded and generic products to customers in a wide range of
medical fields, including endocrinology, orthopedics, urology,
oncology, neurology, and other specialty areas. On the Web:

Endo International and certain of its subsidiaries initiated
voluntary prearranged Chapter 11 proceedings (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Lead
Case No. 22-22549) on Aug. 16, 2022.

On May 25, 2023, Operand Pharmaceuticals Holdco II Limited and
Operand Pharmaceuticals Holdco III Limited each filed a voluntary
Chapter 11 petition also in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York. On May 31, 2023, Operand
Pharmaceuticals II Limited and Operand Pharmaceutical III Limited
each filed a voluntary Chapter 11 petition also in the Southern
District of New York.

The Company's cases are jointly administered before the Honorable
James L. Garrity, Jr.

Endo initiated the financial restructuring process after reaching
an agreement with a group of its senior debtholders on a
transaction that would substantially reduce outstanding debt,
address remaining opioid and other litigation-related claims, and
best position Endo for the future. This would allow the Company to
advance its ongoing business transformation from a strengthened
financial position to create compelling value for its stakeholders
over the long term.

Endo's India-based entities are not part of the Chapter 11
proceedings. The Company has filed recognition proceedings in
Canada and expects to file similar proceedings in the United
Kingdom and Australia.

The Debtors tapped Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, LLP as
legal counsel; PJT Partners, LP as investment banker; and Alvarez &
Marsal North America, LLC as financial advisor. Kroll Restructuring
Administration, LLC, is the claims agent and administrative

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

Rich Murphy, the Company's CEO and Chairman stated "Our second
quarter results marked an overall improvement on both a quarterly
and year-to-date basis as well as a continued focus on controlling
costs, which places us in a good position for the second half of
2024 as we begin to benefit from the positive financial performance
and substantial opportunities provided by our recent
transactions."

Murphy continued, "The Company has evaluated and just recently
executed a number of strategic initiatives designed to enhance our
financial position and further rationalize our asset base as we
reduced reliance on our seasonal frac water heating services
business. In support of these efforts, we recently divested certain
non-core assets and invested in opportunities such as logistics
that generate solid cash flow and provide visible near and
long-term growth. Over the past week, we announced the exit of our
seasonal-focused Colorado frac water heating business and the
closing of the immediately accretive Buckshot acquisition that
provides a complementary customer base and increased profitable
expansion opportunities. Importantly, we also announced our
strategic financial relationship with Star Equity Holdings, which
included respective equity investments by both companies. We are
excited to have Rick Coleman – as CEO and a Director at Star –
join the Board to add his insight and expertise as we look to
further prudently expand our market position to enhance our service
offerings and customer base."

Mr. Murphy concluded, "I am extremely proud of the team here at
Enservco. Over the past year and a half, we have been fortunate to
materially improve our business and financial health through
several key transactions and milestones. Many of these required
significant organizational changes, and I want to thank everyone
for their support and dedication as we critically repositioned the
Company for long-term success – both operationally and
financially. We look forward to shifting our nearer-term efforts to
ensuring the successful integration of Buckshot's people and assets
into Enservco's business, with five months of Buckshot's operations
to be reflected in our second half results. This provides a solid
outlook for the remainder of 2024 and the expectation of a strong
2025 assuming current or improved market conditions. Finally –
and as important – I want to thank our shareholders for their
ongoing confidence and continued support."

FTX TRADING: Ch. 11 Plan Gets 95% Unanimous Support from Creditors
------------------------------------------------------------------
Teuta Franjkovic of CCN reports that the Chapter 11 plan that
promises 118% reimbursement gains near-unanimous creditor support.

FTX's reorganization plan has received strong support from
creditors, with over 95% voting in favor.

The plan promises full repayment of bankruptcy claims with interest
to non-governmental creditors.

FTX continues to face legal challenges, including a 25-year prison
sentence for its former CEO and significant financial penalties.

                     About FTX Trading Ltd.

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 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.

At 4:30 a.m. on Nov. 11, Bankman-Fried ultimately 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
million 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 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 bankruptcy counsel; Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor, LLP as
Delaware and conflicts counsel; FTI Consulting, Inc. as financial
advisor; and Jefferies, LLC as investment banker.

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.


FTX TRADING: Lobbyist Faces 2022 Campaign Finance Charges
---------------------------------------------------------

her unsuccessful 2022 congressional campaign.

                    About FTX Trading Ltd.

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 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.

At 4:30 a.m. on Nov. 11, Bankman-Fried ultimately 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
million 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 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

The official committee of unsecured creditors tapped Paul Hastings
as bankruptcy counsel; Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor, LLP as
Delaware and conflicts counsel; FTI Consulting, Inc. as financial
advisor; and Jefferies, LLC as investment banker.

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.

GULFPORT ENERGY: Moody's Rates New 2029 Unsecured Notes 'B3'
------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Ratings assigned a B3 rating to Gulfport Energy Operating
Corporation's (Gulfport) proposed backed senior unsecured notes due
2029. Gulfport Energy Corporation's B1 Corporate Family Rating,
B1-PD Probability of Default Rating, and SGL-2 Speculative Grade
Liquidity Rating (SGL) are unchanged. The outlook remains stable.

"Gulfport will use proceeds from its senior unsecured notes
offering along with borrowings under its secured credit facility to
fund a tender offer for any and all of its existing backed senior
unsecured notes due 2026," said Jake Leiby, Moody's Ratings Vice
President. "The refinancing of the company's near-dated senior
notes and concurrent proposed revolver amendment improve its
maturity runway."

RATINGS RATIONALE

Gulfport's proposed senior unsecured notes are rated B3, two
notches below the CFR, reflecting effective subordination to the
large potential claims of the $1 billion secured RBL revolver.

Gulfport Energy Corporation's B1 CFR is supported by the company's
track record of maintaining its production, strong credit metrics,
and free cash flow generation. The company has a robust commodity
hedging program that supports cash margins in times of low natural
gas prices and reduces cash flow volatility from commodity price
fluctuations. The company's 2024 financial and operating plans
continue to emphasize its Utica and Marcellus assets and are
expected to drive modest annual production growth to -175 Mboe/d.
The company's Utica and Marcellus region will account for ~80% of
production and its SCOOP asset will account for the remainder.
Moody's expect the company's commodity hedges to aid Gulfport's
meaningful free cash flow generation in 2024 and for the company to
allocate free cash flow to share repurchases and potential bolt-on
acquisitions. Beyond 2024, Moody's expect Gulfport to continue to
target modest annual production growth and to maintain its capital
allocation policies which balance shareholder returns and
acquisitions, while adhering to its conservative financial
policies.

Moody's expect Gulfport Energy Corporation to maintain good
liquidity through 2025, as indicated by its SGL-2 rating. The
proposed revolver amendment announced concurrently with the senior
unsecured notes offering will not change the facility's $1.1
billion borrowing base but will result in an increase in lender
commitments to $1 billion from $900 million previously and an
extension of the maturity to 2028, from 2027 previously. Pro forma
for the completion of the tender offer and assuming 100%
participation in the tender offer from holders of the existing 2026
senior unsecured notes, Moody's expect Gulfport to have a de
minimis cash balance and $746 million of available borrowing
capacity under the revolver. The proposed revolver amendment would
result in financial covenants requiring maintenance of net leverage
no greater than 3.50x (3.25x currently) and a current ratio no less
than 1.0x (no change). Moody's expect Gulfport to remain well
incompliance with its covenants through 2025.

FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATING

A ratings upgrade could be considered if Gulfport substantially
increases its scale, while maintaining its strong credit metrics
and conservative financial policies. A ratings downgrade could be
considered if production declines materially or the company
deviates from its conservative financial policies including
leveraging M&A or debt-funded shareholder returns. RCF/debt falling
below 30% could also lead to a downgrade.

Gulfport is an independent exploration and production company with
principal producing assets in the Utica and Marcellus Shale in Ohio
and SCOOP basins in Oklahoma, and is headquartered in Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma.              

The principal methodology used in this rating was Independent
Exploration and Production published in December 2022.

HILLRIDGE HOLDING: Unsecureds to be Paid in Full in Plan
--------------------------------------------------------
Hillridge Holding Company, LLC filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Middle District of Georgia a Disclosure Statement regarding
Plan of Reorganization dated August 9, 2024.

The Debtor owns and manages real property at 303 Hillridge Cove,
Lizella, GA 31052. It is 100% owned and managed by Dr. Erick
Moore.

This bankruptcy case was filed to stop a pending foreclosure of the
real property and to preserve the equity over and above the amount
owed for the benefit of creditors and the beneficial owner of the
company. Dr. Moore has continued to manage the company during the
bankruptcy and has personally provided the funding necessary to
enable the case to proceed.

Class 5 shall consist of all allowed unsecured claims. There is one
claim in this class, the claim of Macon-Bibb Co. Tax Commissioner
in the amount of $420.20. (Court claim No. 1). The unsecured claim
will be paid in full within 30 days after the Effective Date.

Class 6 consists of the Debtor's equity interest. All interests
will be retained.

Creditors will be paid in full under this plan with interest with
payments beginning immediately after confirmation. This is in
contrast to a Chapter 7 liquidation where a Trustee would need time
to market and sell properties and distribution would likely take
place at the end of the case after several years.

The Debtor owns the real estate at 303 Hillridge Cove, Lizella,
Bibb County, Georgia 31052, valued at $600,000.00 and subject to a
lien in favor of Select Portfolio Servicing in the amount of
$406,399.81, indicating an equity position of almost $200,000.00.

The Debtor's present income is derived from its principal who
intends to fund the payments until such time as the real property
can be rented in order to make the payments or sold. The company
has no major expenses other than provided for under this plan.

A full-text copy of the Disclosure Statement dated August 9, 2024
is available at https://urlcurt.com/u?l=2am6AO from
PacerMonitor.com at no charge.

IMPERIAL PACIFIC: Court Denies Chapter 7 Conversion
---------------------------------------------------
Bryan Manabat of Marianas Variety reports that the federal
bankruptcy court has denied the CNMI government's motion to convert
Imperial Pacific International's Chapter 11 petition to a Chapter 7
petition.

Chief Judge Ramona V. Manglona also found that dismissal of IPI’s
Chapter 11 petition is not warranted yet.

At a hearing on Aug. 14, Chief Solicitor J. Robert Glass Jr., who
represented the CNMI government, requested the court to withhold
its ruling, but Judge Manglona declined to do so.

She said the case will continue as a Chapter 11 liquidation, but
she did not decide on the Committee of Unsecured Creditors' request
for an appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee, which requires a notice
and a hearing.

Attorney Aram Ordubegian, who represented the Committee of
Unsecured Creditors, requested the court to rule on the joint
motion of IPI and the committee, specifically as to extending the
claims bar date.

The U.S. Trustee, represented by attorney Neil Verbrugge, said they
do not oppose the motion.

Attorney Richard Miller, who represents some of the creditors,
expressed his support for extending the deadline and for having a
website for proof of claim.

Judge Manglona granted the joint motion in part and extended the
deadline for the claims bar date to Oct. 31, 2024.

The CNMI government earlier informed the court that IPI had no
ability to generate revenue or operate as a casino and had "no
business to reorganize." The CNMI government also requested the
court to convert IPI's Chapter 11 petition to a Chapter 7
petition.

Under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, Chapter 11 bankruptcy allows a
business corporation to restructure its debts and continue
operating while Chapter 7 provides for the liquidation of a
debtor's property and distribution of proceeds to creditors.

The Office of the U.S. Trustee also asked the court to convert the
case "due to [IPI's] alleged continuing losses, no likelihood of
rehabilitation, and lack of insurance."

Recently, IPI requested the court to approve the sale of its
hotel-casino and other real estate assets to Loi Lam Sit for $10
million.

IPI attorney Chuck Choi also requested the court to hold a hearing
on Nov. 20, 2024 to consider the final approval of the sale of
IPI's property, free and clear of liens and encumbrances to Loi Lam
Sit — the "stalking horse purchaser" — or to a higher bidder.

According to online sources, a "stalking horse purchaser" refers to
an initial bidder chosen by a bankrupt company to make the first
offer on its assets. This bidder sets the minimum price that the
assets can be sold for in a bankruptcy auction. The term "stalking
horse" comes from the idea that the initial bid serves as a
benchmark, encouraging other potential buyers to make higher
offers.

Lam, a resident of Hong Kong, is the general manager of Top Pride
International Ltd., a wholesale distributor of cosmetic products.

IPI said its major real estate assets are its casino, which is
housed in its hotel building situated primarily on 19,204 square
meters of land leased from the CNMI Department of Public Lands
pursuant to lease agreement No. LA-15-002S; and IPI's ownership
interest in Imperial Pacific Properties LLC, which holds a
leasehold interest in eight lots adjacent to the leasehold
property.

IPI filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the District Court for the
NMI on April 19, 2024, saying it owed creditors over $165.8
million.

Securities and Exchange Commission that the compilation,
dissemination and review of the information required to be

LUMEN TECHNOLOGIES: Egan-Jones Retains 'B-' Sr. Unsecured Ratings
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Egan-Jones Ratings Company, on August 29, 2024, maintained its 'B-'
local currency senior unsecured ratings on debt issued by Lumen
Technologies, Inc.

Headquartered in Monroe, Louisiana, Lumen Technologies, Inc.
provides digital solutions for home and business premises.


LUMEN TECHNOLOGIES: S&P Lowers ICR to 'CC', Alters Outlook to Neg.
------------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings lowered its issuer credit rating on U.S.-based
telecommunications service provider Lumen Technologies Inc. to 'CC'
from 'CCC+'. S&P also lowered the affected issue-level debt ratings
to 'C'.

S&P said, "The negative outlook on Lumen reflects the expectation
that we will lower our issuer credit rating to 'SD' (selective
default) upon completion of these exchanges because we consider
them to be tantamount to default. At the same time, we would lower
our issue-level rating on the affected debt to 'D'.

"We view the proposed exchanges as tantamount to a default. The
proposed transaction offers to exchange certain senior unsecured
notes at Lumen for new super-priority second-out notes and senior
unsecured notes at Level 3 for new second-lien notes. We view the
exchanges as distressed and tantamount to default since lenders are
not receiving adequate compensation to offset the maturity
extensions, in our view. The compensation consists of higher
coupons of 10% on all the new debt tranches and up-tiering of the
exchanged debt into a more senior position in the capital
structure. However, this rate is still lower than the current
yields on the existing debt and holders of the existing notes are
being offered less than the original promise because the exchange
rate is at a discount to par. We also believe that the company will
have difficulty refinancing debt at current market rates given its
very high debt load and declining legacy business."

The exchange transaction will enable Lumen to push out its debt
maturities, although debt reduction is very modest and interest
expense will increase. The exchanges will enable Lumen to extend
some of its 2026-2029 maturities to 2032, giving it additional
runway to execute its turnaround strategy. That said, the exchange
will not meaningfully reduce its debt obligations, while pushing up
its interest expense given the higher coupons on the new debt.

New contract wins are credit positive, but it is uncertain that
they are enough to offset declines in the legacy telecom business
and enable Lumen to grow into its capital structure. Lumen
announced that it secured $5 billion in new business because of the
need for AI connectivity, including a new partnership with
Microsoft. Further, the company said it was in active discussions
to secure another $7 billion in sales opportunities to meet
increased bandwidth demand.

The Microsoft deal will provide the company with a custom network
that includes dedicated access to existing fiber in the Lumen
network and the installation of new fiber on existing and new
routes, enabling it to support increasing demand for AI workloads.
At the same time, Lumen will use Microsoft Cloud to accelerate its
enterprise-wide digital transformation and reduce costs.

The company disclosed that these transactions will be structured as
Indefeasible Rights Of Use (IRUs) with an average length of 20
years. While the economics will vary by deal, management indicated
that the upfront operating expenses and capital expenditures
(capex) will be funded with upfront cash payments from its
customers over the next five years. However, revenue will be
realized starting at delivery and will take a few years to reach
the amortized run rate over the 20 years of the contract.
Management anticipates the cash contribution margin (EBITDA less
project capex) will approach Lumen's adjusted EBITDA margin (in the
low-30% area) and that most of the cash taxes will be paid one year
after cash is collected at a 25% tax rate.

S&P said, "Notwithstanding the recently announced business wins, we
expect Lumen's EBITDA will decline sharply in 2025 as it
accelerates investment in the network and IT systems. Further, we
expect that Lumen's capex will increase as the company works to
increase network capacity over the next five years. While these
cash outflows are more than offset by the upfront cash payments, we
still expect leverage will increase to over 6x by 2025.

"The negative outlook on Lumen reflects the expectation that we
will lower our issuer credit rating to 'SD' upon completion of
these exchanges because we consider them to be distressed. At the
same time, we would lower our issue-level rating on the affected
debt to 'D'.

"We will lower the rating if Lumen executes on its announced
exchange transaction.

"Although unlikely, we could raise the rating on Lumen if we no
longer expect it to complete the exchange."

MANITOWOC COMPANY: Moody's Rates New $300MM Second Lien Notes 'B1'
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Ratings assigned a B1 rating to The Manitowoc Company,
Inc.'s ("Manitowoc") planned $300 million 7-year senior secured
second lien notes. The company's other ratings, including its B1
corporate family rating, B1-PD probability of default rating and
the B1 senior secured rating on the company's existing second lien
notes remain unchanged. The outlook is stable. The company's
speculative grade liquidity rating is unchanged at SGL-2.

Proceeds from the $300 million notes offering and cash on hand will
be used to redeem the company's existing $300 million 9% senior
secured second lien notes due 2026 and fund fees and expenses. The
rating on the existing notes will be withdrawn at the close of the
transaction. The company is also upsizing its unrated ABL to $325
million and extending the maturity date to 2029.

RATINGS RATIONALE

Manitowoc has a well-established position as one of the world's
leading providers of heavy-duty cranes. The company is growing its
non-new machine sales presence (about 28% of total revenue for the
12 months ended June 30, 2024), which supports margin growth and
has shown resilience against cyclical crane demand. However, the
company has concentration risk by operating solely in the crane
segment. This exposes Manitowoc to highly cyclical end markets,
including construction and oil and gas.

Manitowoc's debt-to-LTM EBITDA was 3.7 times at June 30, 2024, up
from 3.1 times at March 31, 2024, driven by parts shortages,
logistical challenges and project delays resulting from high
interest rates and election cycle uncertainty. However, Moody's
view these constraints to be temporary and expect leverage to
decline below 3 times over the next 12-18 months, driven by growth
in non-new machine sales (aftermarket parts, services, rental, used
equipment sales, and crane refurbishment and remanufacturing).

Demand is robust in the Middle Eastern crane markets but
macroeconomic uncertainty has tempered demand in Europe and select
Asian markets. Manitowoc also has a legal overhang associated with
an EPA issue, the resolution of which could lead to material cash
outflows.

The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectation that Manitowoc will
grow organic revenue 3% in 2025, resulting from a continued
increase in non-new machine sales, a recovery in the European tower
crane market and a gradual working down of the company's high
backlog. Profit margin is likely to increase as higher margin
non-new machine sales grow and the company remains focused on
operational efficiencies and cost containment.

Manitowoc's SGL-2 speculative grade liquidity rating reflects
Moody's expectation the company will have good liquidity over the
next year. Moody's view is supported by Moody's expectation for
ample availability under the upsized $325 million ABL facility.
Moody's expect the company will also have free cash flow over $20
million over the next 12-18 months.

FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATING

The rating could be upgraded if debt-to-EBITDA remains around 3.0
times and EBITA margin approaches 7% as the company continues to
successfully grow non-new machine sales. In addition, the company
would be expected to maintain good liquidity and improve free cash
flow prior to a rating upgrade.

The rating could be downgraded if demand weakens considerably,
EBITA margin declines below 4% or liquidity weakens materially. In
addition, the rating could be downgraded if there is an adverse
resolution to the EPA litigation matter in excess of the current
reserve. Also, if Manitowoc's financial policy becomes increasingly
aggressive around acquisitions or share repurchases the ratings
could be downgraded.

The principal methodology used in this rating was Manufacturing
published in September 2021.

The Manitowoc Company, Inc. (NYSE: MTW), headquartered in
Milwaukee, WI, was founded in 1902 and through its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, designs, manufactures, markets and supports
comprehensive product lines of cranes. Crane types include mobile
hydraulic cranes, tower cranes, lattice-boom crawler cranes and
boom trucks under the Aspen Equipment, Grove, Manitowoc, MGX
Equipment Services, National Crane, Potain, and Shuttlelift brand
names.

MAWSON INFRASTRUCTURE: Releases Operational Update for July 2024
----------------------------------------------------------------
Mawson Infrastructure Group Inc. announced on August 22, 2024, its
unaudited business and operational update for July 2024.

Rahul Mewawalla, CEO and President, stated, "We are pleased to
deliver another month of significant progress across several key
areas that are expected to contribute to future growth
opportunities for our digital infrastructure platforms, including
delivering 54% year-over-year growth in our digital assets
colocation revenue. We also have been ramping up our recent digital
assets enterprise colocation customer deployment post the 20 MW
expansion, which has grown our current operational capacities at
our Midland Facility to 120MW, and increased our overall current
operating capacity to 129MW. In addition, we have expanded our
digital colocation business into new digital assets with this ramp
up of our latest customer deployment. Moreover, the recent
expansion of our business into AI (artificial intelligence) and HPC
(high-performance computing) colocation services marks a
significant step forward in our long-term growth strategy. This
expansion not only broadens our revenue streams but also positions
Mawson as a rising player in the AI and HPC infrastructure space,
while expanding our growth and innovation initiatives, as we
continue to position ourselves strategically in the overall digital
infrastructure space."

Unaudited financial and operational highlights for July 2024:

     * Company executed on key long-term growth strategy and
entered the AI (artificial intelligence) and HPC (high-performance
computing) colocation markets, recently signing an AI/HPC
colocation agreement for 20 MW to host NVIDIA GPUs.

     * New 20 MW AI/HPC colocation business agreement has Mawson
providing AI/HPC colocation services for the customer's AI
deployment. The initial 20 MW of capacity is expected to be
deployed in the first quarter of 2025 and could generate
approximately $92 million2 of potential revenue to Mawson during
the first 2-years of the Agreement and approximately $285 million3
of total cumulative revenue over the 6-year initial contract term
of the Agreement.

     * In addition, Mawson and the customer have also signed a
non-binding letter of intent (LOI) to increase the initial 20 MW
for AI/HPC colocation services to a total of 144 MW over time,
which has the long-term potential to increase the total AI and HPC
colocation capacity and services by 6x.

     * Ramping up colocation services at recently completed 20 MW
expansion of the Midland facility that increased the Company's
total capacity to about 129 MW and about 41,530 miners.

     * Overall monthly revenue of about $3.94 million, monthly
digital asset colocation business revenue up 54% Y/Y to $2.75
million, monthly energy management business revenue of $0.75
million, monthly Bitcoin self mining business revenue of $0.44
million, and recently expanded into AI and HPC Markets.

     * Expanding into AI and HPC colocation services business,
coupled with Mawson's established digital assets operations,
creates a powerful digital infrastructure platform enabling
sustainable growth while increasing shareholder value in the
rapidly evolving digital infrastructure landscape across AI, HPC,
and digital assets.

MERCY HOSPITAL: Advisors Want $13.4-Million Fees from Chapter 11
----------------------------------------------------------------
Vanessa Miller of The Gazette reports that the consultants and
attorneys seek $13.4 million in fees from Mercy Iowa City
bankruptcy.

In the days since Mercy Iowa City's bondholders raised concerns
about dwindling assets available for distribution through a
liquidation trust, attorneys, consultants and advisers for the
bankrupt hospital, its creditors and its pensioners have inundated
the court with "final" fee requests totaling nearly $13.4 million.

That "professional fees" total is nearly as much as Mercy's secured
bondholders Preston Hollow Community Capital and Computershare
Trust Company — seeking payback of at least some of the $62.8
million they lent Mercy years ago — had received as of Aug. 5,
2024.

After alerting a U.S. bankruptcy judge July 26 that they had "yet
to receive a single 'effective date' distribution" of the cash
they're owed — nearly two months after the judge confirmed a
liquidation plan promising them some payback — the bondholders
did receive an initial payment of $17.25 million.

Since that time, the attorney and consultant fee requests have
poured in — including from the two main law firms representing
Mercy Iowa City and from the hospital's New York-based interim
management firm ToneyKorf Partners LLC. Combined, their requests
account for $10.7 million of the final-fee total, or about 80
percent.

Only $677,441 of that requested total is staying in Iowa — should
the judge approve final payment to Mercy's Cedar Rapids-based
representative Nyemaster Good P.C. The rest — $4.9 million to
ToneyKorf and $5.1 million to McDermott Will & Emery LLP, of
Chicago — is headed out of state.

"Describing itself as having extensive bankruptcy and restructuring
experience, as well as experience in virtually all other aspects of
law that may arise in these cases, McDermott continues to seek
payment of fees multiple times greater than any other party in this
case," according to a U.S. trustee's latest objection to
McDermott's fee requests. None of the 10 objections have been heard
or decided yet in court.

The trustee note that “every dollar expended on legal fees
results in a dollar less that is available for distribution to
creditors or use by debtor.”

The trustee's main concerns involve duplication of efforts by
McDermott attorneys making more than $1,000 an hour and vague
descriptions of what they're spending their time doing — making
it impossible for her to understand or evaluate the need for each
meeting and charge the law firm is asking the court to approve.

Of the 38 McDermott attorneys, consultants and other staffers who
worked on the Mercy case, 18 made more than $1,000 an hour —
including one who billed $1,975 an hour, two at more than $1,850 an
hour, and three at $1,600 an hour.

McDermott partner Daniel Simon, billing $1,450 an hour, stands to
make $1.2 million alone for his nearly 11 months on the Mercy case.
Partner Felicia Perlman, at $1,850 an hour, would earn $1 million
for her 522 billed hours.

The firm, for its 3,841 total hours charged Mercy an average of
$1,325 an hour.

That is more than four times the average $294 that Cedar
Rapids-based Nyemaster Goode charged Mercy for its 2,166 hours on
the case — more than half which involved attorney Roy Leaf,
billing $345 an hour.

Looking across the professional fee applications for Mercy's
bankruptcy case, only three of the applicants seeking a total of
$960,021 are based in Iowa — meaning the vast majority of that
money, if approved, will head out of state.

Justifying its fee requests, McDermott noted it could have
increased its rates on Jan. 1 but didn't; and it voluntarily wrote
off $108,255 in fees for which it could have billed.

It also noted the "significant consternation" and ongoing
"dissension and acrimony" at the start of Mercy's bankruptcy case
"as stakeholders remained focused on advocating for their own
self-interests and frequently took a litigious approach to
initially resolving outstanding issues."

That Mercy ever managed to consummate a sale to the University of
Iowa is "nothing short of miraculous," according to McDermott's
final fee application.

"This outcome would not have been possible without the efforts of
McDermott," according to the attorneys — who reported billing
Mercy $245,042 for the 203 hours it spent applying for its own
payment or responding to objections to its payment, averaging
$1,207 an hour.

"Without McDermott's efforts as mediator among these parties during
the Chapter 11 cases, projected unsecured creditor recoveries under
the plan would be significantly less and, critically, Mercy's
pension plan may not have been preserved to the detriment of all of
its beneficiaries," according to its fee application.

In the bondholders' recent appeal for court intervention — given
its lack of payment at that point — they and other parties raised
concerns about delays and miscommunication with the liquidation
trustee, William H. Henrich of New York-based Getzler Henrich &
Associates.

One week later, a trust oversight committee removed Henrich, making
$795 an hour, and replaced him with Dan R. Childers, of
Coralville-based Shuttleworth & Ingersoll PLC. He’s fees haven't
been made public.

Beyond its bankruptcy case, Mercy Iowa City's former managing
partner MercyOne of Des Moines has appealed the liquidation plan to
the U.S. District Court — continuing the bankrupt hospital's need
for attorneys, including four McDermott Will & Emery attorneys and
four from the local Nyemaster Goode.

Although New Jersey-based Sills Cummis & Gross — which
represented the unsecured creditors in the Mercy bankruptcy case,
requesting a final $1.3 million in fees — also had been assigned
to the appeal, the firm and its representative Andrew Sherman was
removed when Henrich was swapped out as trustee.

MSI HOLDING: Income & Arbitration Proceeding to Fund Plan
---------------------------------------------------------
MSI Holding, LLC and TSC, LLC filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Colorado a Joint Subchapter V Plan of
Reorganization dated August 8, 2024.

TSC specializes in making paper-reliant businesses in making the
transition from paper to digital. Its services include document
imaging/scanning, conversion, online cloud storage of digital
documents, and information management services.

MSI Holding is a holding company. It owns TSC, Mountain States
Imaging, LLC and MSI CA, LLC.

Like TSC, MSI Holding sought relief under Sub-Chapter V of Chapter
11 of the Bankruptcy Code due to a litigation captioned Candela
Family, LLC versus Mountain States Imaging, LLC (the "State Court
Litigation"). In the litigation the state Court issued a ruling
adverse against, among other parties, MSI Holding with respect to a
motion in traverse. MSI Holding filed to protect its assets from
Candela's reach.

TSC has a number of general unsecured, some which are insider
claims and some which are non-insider claims. Exhibit C shows total
non-insider general unsecured claims in the amount of $826,953.35
having been asserted against the estate. Exhibit D shows total
insider general unsecured claims in the amount of $816,275.25
having been asserted against the estate.

MSI Holding scheduled 4 general unsecured creditors, so of which
are insider claims and some of which are not insider claims.
Exhibit 1 shows total noninsider general unsecured claims in the
amount of $415,059.11 having been asserted against the estate.
Exhibit 2 shows total insider general unsecured claims in the
amount of $1,426,390.00 having been asserted against the estate.

Class 2 consists of the non-insider general unsecured creditors of
TSC. Holders of Class 2 Allowed Claims shall share on a Pro Rata
basis monies deposited into the Unsecured Creditor Account. In year
one of the Plan TSC will not make any deposits into the TSC
Unsecured Creditor Account. In year two of the Plan TSC will
deposit into the TSC Unsecured Creditor Account $7,750 per month.
In year three of the Plan TSC will deposit into the TSC Unsecured
Creditor Account $13,110 per month. At the end of each calendar
quarter, the balance of the TSC Unsecured Creditor Account will be
distributed to the holders of Class 2 general unsecured creditors
that hold Allowed Claims on a Pro Rata basis.

All funds recovered by TSC on account of Avoidance Actions shall be
distributed to Allowed Administrative Claims until paid in full and
then to Class 2 claimants holding Allowed Claims on a pro-rata
basis, net of attorneys' fees and costs. Whether or not TSC pursues
any Avoidance Actions shall be up to TSC and the decision to pursue
such claims shall be discretionary with TSC.

Class 3 consists of the insider general unsecured creditors of TSC.
Class 3 shall be subordinate under all other creditor Allowed
Claims. After the three-year term of this Plan is completed, TSC
and the Class 3 claimants can make any arrangements or agreements
with respect to the Class 3 Claims.

Class B consists of the non-insider general unsecured creditors of
TSC. Holders of Class B Allowed Claims shall share on a Pro Rata
basis monies deposited into the Unsecured Creditor Account. MSI
Holding will pledge any and all net proceeds it receives in the
Arbitration Proceeding to its creditors in Class B until paid in
full, and then to creditors in Class C. While MSI Holding does not
expect to receive any distributions from TSC, Mountain States
Imaging, or MSI CA during the life of the Plan, to the extent it
does, it will distribute all of those funds to allowed creditors in
Class B as well until those creditors are paid in full, and then to
Class C.

All funds recovered by MSI Holding on account of Avoidance Actions
shall be distributed to Allowed Administrative Claims until paid in
full and then to Class B claimants holding Allowed Claims on a
pro-rata basis, net of attorneys' fees and costs. Whether or not
MSI Holding pursues any Avoidance Actions shall be up to MSI
Holding and the decision to pursue such claims shall be
discretionary with MSI Holding.

Class 4 includes the Interests in TSC, which Interests are
unimpaired by the Plan. Upon confirmation of the Plan, all Class 4
Interest holders will retain their ownership Interests in TSC.

Class D shall include the Interests in MSI Holding, which Interests
are unimpaired by the Plan. Upon confirmation of the Plan, all
Class D Interest holders will retain their ownership Interests in
MSI Holding.

The funding for the Plan will come from TSC's continued operations.
TSC will have sufficient cash on hand and profits during the term
of the Plan to satisfy its Plan obligations. TSC projects it will
not sufficient cash on hand to pay Administrative Claims and Tax
Claims in full on the Effective Date of the Plan. Such Claims will
be funded by TSC's insider Vincent Huang.

MSI Holding will fund this Plan from the net proceeds of the
Arbitration Proceeding. As discussed on MSI Holding's schedules, it
believes the value of that claim exceeds $5,000,000.00. To the
extent MSI Holding prevails in that action, it will recover
sufficient funds to pay all of its general unsecured creditors in
full.

Because MSI Holding is otherwise not an operating entity, it does
not have projected income or expenses for the term of the Plan.
However, MSI Holding asserts that the recovery from the Arbitration
Proceeding is feasible.

NAT'L ASSOC. OF TELEVISION: Reaches Settlement w/ Fontainebleau
---------------------------------------------------------------
National Association of Television Program Executives, Inc.,
submitted a First Amended Plan of Liquidation dated August 8,
2024.

The Debtor sold substantially all of its assets through a Court
approved sale. The Court approved the sale at the hearing, and an
order has been entered.

This Plan incorporates the $150,000 cash payment which will be
transferred to the Debtor upon entry of the sale order, and
accounts for the liabilities being assumed by the buyer which will
no longer be liabilities for the estate upon entry of the sale
order.

In 2024, the Debtor and Fontainebleau Florida Hotel, LLC engaged in
extended negotiations to reach mutually agreed upon terms
("Settlement"). Those Settlement terms are reflected in this
Amended Plan.

Pursuant to the Settlement with Fontainebleau, Jeremy Faith will be
appointed as Plan Fiduciary ("Plan Fiduciary") upon entry of an
order confirming this Plan. The Plan Fiduciary will serve as
Disbursing Agent under the Plan. The Plan Fiduciary's fees and
expenses will be paid only from funds he collects through the

postconfirmation.

The first payments are expected to be paid on the Effective Date.
The Plan Fiduciary will make additional pro rata payments to
creditors under the Plan as funds warrant.

Pursuant to the projections, the Debtors anticipate having a total
of approximately $ 140,000 in cash on hand as of the effective

as follows: $50,000 estimated to administrative legal creditors,
estimated $5,000 in Subchapter V fees, $65,125.73 to priority

other parties have the right to object to these claims.

all funds on hand as of the Effective Date to creditors and ceasing
all operations.

This Plan of Reorganization proposes to pay creditors of the Debtor
from cash on hand.

Non-priority unsecured creditors holding allowed claims will
receive distributions, which the proponent of this Plan has valued
at 5.938% of each allowed claim. This Plan also provides for the
payment of administrative and priority unsecured claims.

Class 3 consists of Non-priority unsecured creditors. Class 3
claims are impaired, and will be paid their pro rata share of the
funds remaining in the estate after payment of administrative, sub
V trustee and priority unsecured claims, estimated to be
$19,874.27, resulting in payment of 0.51% of their claims. Pursuant
to the Settlement, Fountainebleau's unsecured claim, which
otherwise will be capped at 85% of the total funds being paid to
Class 3 creditors.

Accordingly, on the Effective Date, Fontainebleau will receive 85%
of the estimated $19,874.27 that will be paid to Class 3 creditors,
and the other Class 3 creditors will receive their pro rata share
of 15% of the estimated $19,874.27 that will be paid to Class 3
creditors.

Additionally, the Plan Fiduciary will make additional pro rata
payments to creditors under the Plan as funds warranted from his
recoveries for the estate. Pursuant to the Settlement,

NCL CORP: Moody's Rates New Senior Unsecured Notes 'Caa1'
---------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Ratings assigned a Caa1 rating to the senior unsecured
notes (Notes) that NCL Corporation Ltd. (NCL) announced earlier.
The company will use the net proceeds to redeem $315 million of it
3.625% senior unsecured notes due December 15, 2024 (2024 notes).
There is presently $565 million of the 2024 notes outstanding.
Moody's existing ratings assigned to NCL, including the B2
corporate family rating, B1 senior secured rating and Caa1 senior
unsecured rating are unaffected by the debt issuance. The SGL-3
speculative grade liquidity rating and stable outlook are also
unaffected.

NCL reported strong results for the second quarter and first six
months of the year. The company's current guidance for full year
2024 calls for Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $2.35 billion,
which compares to $1.86 billion for 2023. Moody's expect NCL, along
with its industry peers, to continue to benefit from the strong
demand for cruises. NCL expects its net yields to increase by about
8% in 2024. Moody's believe that industry fundamentals in 2025 will
support additional yield growth near the mid-single digit percent
level.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The B2 corporate family rating reflects the company's competitive
position as the third largest ocean cruise company, balanced by
still elevated financial leverage because of the debt capital
raised to navigate the effects of the pandemic. The company's
brands, Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises, and Regent Seven
Seas Cruises, are well-known. NCL benefits from the favorable value
proposition of a cruise vacation and a group of loyal cruise
customers that will support a base level of demand. Risks include
cost inflation, including for fuel, demand's exposure to economic
cycles, customers' numerous options for land-based vacations and
the industry remaining disciplined with its capacity. Debt/EBITDA
was 5.4x and EBIT/Interest was 1.6x at June 30, 2024. Sustained
strength in booking volumes and yields would likely lead to some
strengthening of credit metrics.

NCL's liquidity is adequate, reflecting its cash of about $594
million at June 30, 2024 and full availability under its $1.2
billion revolving credit facility due 2026. Moody's project free
cash flow to approach $1.3 billion in 2024; however, significantly
higher investment in 2025 will weigh on free cash flow generation,
limiting it to near breakeven. The stepped-up investment for new
ships will be funded with new Export Credit Agency debt facilities,
mitigating improvement in financial leverage from the earnings
expansion Moody's expect.

FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATING

Ratings could be upgraded if Moody's expect debt/EBITDA to be
sustained below 5x and EBITA/interest expense to be sustained above
2.0x. Ratings could be downgraded if there is a deterioration in
liquidity or debt/EBITDA is sustained above 6.5x.

The principal methodology used in this rating was Business and
Consumer Services published in November 2021.

NCL Corporation Ltd., headquartered in Miami, FL, is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. Norwegian
operates 32 cruise ships with approximately 66,000 berths under
three brand names; Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises and
Regent Seven Seas Cruises. Net revenue was about $6 billion in
2023.

rating outlook was stable.

PERFORMANCE FOOD: S&P Rates New $1BB Senior Unsecured Notes 'BB'
----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'BB' issue-level rating and '4'
recovery rating to Performance Food Group Inc.'s (PFG) proposed $1
billion senior unsecured notes due 2032. The '4' recovery rating
indicates our expectation for average (30%-50%; rounded estimate:
35%) recovery for noteholders in the event of a payment default.
The company intends to use the proceeds from these notes, along
with borrowings under its asset-based lending (ABL) revolving
credit facility, to fund its recently announced $2.1 billion
proposed acquisition of Cheney Bros. Inc., an independent
Florida-based broadline foodservice distributor. This follows PFG's
debt-funded $580 million purchase of Puerto Rico-based distributor
Jose Santiago, Inc. in July 2024. The Cheney Bros. acquisition is
subject to regulatory approval. In the event the deal is blocked,
the net proceeds from the proposed notes offering would be used for
general corporate purposes.

Concurrent with this transaction, PFG intends to upsize its ABL
facility (unrated) by $1 billion to $5 billion and extend the
maturity to 2029 from 2026. As a result of the incremental priority
debt claims that are ahead of the unsecured debtholders, we revised
our rounded estimate for recovery on PFG's unsecured debt to 35%
from 40%. The '4' recovery rating and 'BB' issue-level rating are
unchanged.

S&P said, "Our 'BB' issuer credit rating and stable outlook on PFG
are unchanged. This reflects our expectation that the company will
successfully integrate its recent acquisitions and reduce leverage
to inside of its 2.5x-3.5x (roughly 2.8x-3.8x on an S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted basis) target range in fiscal 2026 through
earnings growth and debt paydown. We estimate the company's S&P
Global Ratings-adjusted pro forma leverage will increase to the
low-4x area from 3.1x as of June 29, 2024, before improving toward
3.5x by the end of fiscal 2026. Additionally, we expect PFG will
generate good free operating cash flow in the $650 million to $750
million range annually over the next two years."

ISSUE RATINGS--RECOVERY ANALYSIS

Key analytical factors

-- The lead borrower for the group is Performance Food Group Inc.
Its obligations under the ABL are jointly and severally guaranteed
by, and secured by the majority of the assets of parent PFGC Inc.
and all material domestic direct and indirect wholly owned
subsidiaries of PFGC (other than the captive insurance subsidiaries
and other excluded subsidiaries). Its obligations under the senior
unsecured notes are guaranteed on an unsecured basis by the same
subsidiaries that guarantee the ABL.

-- S&P's simulated default scenario assumes a payment default in
2029 due to a protracted recession that depresses food away from
home demand, spurs intensifying competition and customer attrition
that results in a significant decline in case volumes and margins.

-- Elevated energy costs and reduced demand for tobacco products
could also factor in to lower spending in convenience stores and
gas stations. Such factors would lead to lower profitability, thus
significantly reducing cash flows and liquidity and causing a
payment default.

-- S&P said, "We believe creditors would receive maximum recovery
in a payment default scenario if the company reorganized instead of
liquidated. This is because of the company's footprint and
established customer relationships. Therefore, in evaluating the
recovery prospects for debtholders, we assume the company continues
as a going concern and arrive at our emergence enterprise value
using an EBITDA multiple approach."

Simulated default assumptions

-- Simulated year of default: 2029

-- EBITDA multiple: 6.5x (consistent with other U.S.-based
foodservice distributors)

-- EBITDA at emergence: $659 million

Simplified waterfall

-- Gross enterprise value: $4.3 billion

-- Net recovery value for waterfall after administrative expenses
(5%): $4.1 billion

-- Estimated priority claims: $2.9 billion

-- Estimated total unsecured claims: $3.3 billion

    --Recovery expectations: 30%-50% (rounded estimate: 35%)



PHOENIX MITCHELL: Ongoing Trucking Operations to Fund Plan
----------------------------------------------------------
Phoenix Mitchell Trucking, LLC filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Northern District of Mississippi a Subchapter V Plan of
Reorganization dated August 8, 2024.

All of the equity security interests in the Debtor are owned by
Melvin Stokes.

While the Debtor had, prior to the filing of the petition, enjoyed
some successful years, its revenue stream recently decreased
significantly, as has been the case with many trucking firms
throughout the country. The same loss of revenue that affected two
large firms, has also affected many smaller firms, including the
Debtor.

The Debtor has elected not to provide an analysis of projected
disposable income, because it is not confident in projections
because there are so many variables, at this point in time with the
Debtor's business.

However, the Debtor has made it through hard times before, and hard
times during the administrative phase of this case and it is
confident enough to spend the time, effort and funds to continue
plowing forward and it believes the Plan is feasible.

Class 6 consists of General Unsecured Creditors. General, Unsecured
Creditors will receive the Debtor's projected disposable income
over the life of the plan.

The Debtor's equity security holder will maintain his ownership of
the Debtor.

The Plan will be funded from the Debtor's ongoing trucking
operations.

A full-text copy of the Subchapter V Plan dated August 8, 2024 is

PRIDE GROUP: Experiences Liquidation After Ch. 15 Sale Failure
--------------------------------------------------------------
Kirk O'Neil of The Street reports that huge shipping company Pride
Group Holdings' bankruptcy case has been taking several months to
conclude. The debtor filed for protection on March 27, 2024, under
the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act in the Ontario Superior
Court of Justice in Canada blaming effects from the Covid-19
pandemic for the company's financial crisis.

The Mississauga, Ontario-based company subsequently filed for
Chapter 15 bankruptcy protection on April 1 in the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Delaware seeking recognition of a foreign
proceeding to protect its assets in the U.S. from creditors.

In a declaration by its foreign representative, Pride said that, as
the pandemic subsided, demand for trucking services decreased,
diesel fuel prices soared, interest rates rose, and an oversupply
of trucks and truck drivers in North America negatively impacted
the trucking industry.

When it filed bankruptcy, Pride Group had a fleet of about 20,000
tractor-trailers owned, leased, contracted for service, serviced or
securitized and operates 50 owned and leased locations across
Canada and the U.S., FreightWaves reported.

In CCAA monitor Ernst & Young's Twelfth Monitor Report, it stated
as of Aug. 6 that Pride Group's fleet consisted of 1,459 trucks and
trailers, 1,383 owned by the debtor. At that time, it employed
about 110 office staff and 95 drivers. It also had 120 driver
subcontractors through agencies, about 140 owner-operator drivers
and 75 drivers through four partner carriers.

In the Thirteenth Monitor Report filed on Aug. 8, 2024 it wrote
that it does not view a going concern restructuring plan as a
feasible option for Pride because of lack of stakeholder support.

RAISING CANE: S&P Affirms 'BB-' ICR, Outlook Stable
---------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings affirmed all of its ratings, including its 'BB-'
issuer credit rating on Texas-based quick service restaurant
company Raising Cane's Restaurants LLC.

S&P said, "At the same time, we assigned our 'BB' issue-level
rating and '2' recovery rating to the company's proposed senior
secured term loan B, indicating our expectations of substantial
(70%-90%; rounded estimate: 70%) recovery in the event of a payment
default.

"The stable outlook reflects our expectation for continued strong
sales and EBITDA growth with a high level of cash outlay for capex
and dividends. It also reflects our expectation that S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted leverage will be maintained below 4x over the next
12 months."

Raising Cane's intends to issue a $500 million senior secured term
loan B to pay down $354 million of outstanding borrowings under its
existing $1.2 billion revolving credit facility.

S&P said, "We expect revenue growth to be sustained at high levels
in 2024 on strong same-restaurant sales (SRS), higher average unit
volumes (AUV), and a larger store base before moderating in 2025.
Through the first half of 2024, Raising Cane's Restaurants
increased total revenues 33% year-over-year to $2.3 billion, driven
primarily by a 17.5% increase in SRS and the opening of 46 new
stores (bringing the total store count to 749). SRS growth was
driven by a 12.8% increase in traffic and 4.7% increase in average
check, the latter primarily due to pricing actions implemented in
November 2023 and a subsequent increase at California-based stores
in April 2024 to offset the new $20/hour minimum wage legislation.
Notably, the company's total system restaurant count increased 12%
to 810 stores compared with the previous year and AUVs increased to
$6.2 million on a trailing-12-months basis (2.3x the quick service
restaurant average). We believe the positive momentum will continue
through the remainder of the year, resulting in projected revenue
growth in the mid-20% area in 2024. We expect higher AUV growth in
the low-double-digit percentage area this year will moderate to the
low- to mid-single-digit percentage area in 2025 as the company
expands into lower density urban and suburban markets and
normalizing inflation results in fewer, and more modest menu price
increases. Consequently, we project revenue growth to slow to the
mid-teen percentage area in 2025.

"We expect S&P Global ratings-adjusted EBITDA margins to contract
in 2024 due to higher commodity costs and remain stable in 2025.
Through the first half of 2024, the company's S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted EBITDA margins contracted 120 basis points (bps)
to 21.7% due to the higher costs of supplying chicken and fries.
Specifically, the cost of chicken increased by double-digit
percents year-over-year while the cost of fries increased
double-digit percents in the second quarter. An operator of 92% of
its stores, Raising Cane's is more exposed to input cost inflation
and volatility than its franchise-heavy industry peers. As a
result, we expect S&P Global Ratings-adjusted EBITDA margins to
contract about 160 bps compared to 2023 to the high-19% area. We
expect margins to remain in this area in 2025 as commodity costs
remain high.

"We expect S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage to peak at the
close of the proposed transaction and remain in the high-3x area
over the next 12 months, incorporating growth investments and
aggressive cash distributions. As of June 25, 2024, the company's
trailing-12-months S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage declined to
3.5x compared with 4.0x in the previous year as it increased EBITDA
27% year over year. We project S&P Global Ratings-adjusted free
operating cash flow to approach $20 million in 2024 before
exceeding $130 million in 2025. We anticipate leverage will
increase to 3.8x and remain there through 2025 as the company draws
more on its revolver to fund growth and working capital needs. Our
expectation for robust top-line growth and stable margins over the
next year results in projected leverage staying in the high-3x area
through 2026, which has caused us to revise our financial risk
profile to significant from aggressive. Raising Cane's maintains an
aggressive growth and dividend policy, with annual capital
expenditures (capex) of $700 million and a growing level of
dividends. As a result, we revised the financial policy modifier to
negative from neutral. However, we believe Raising Cane's will
remain committed to its company-defined rent adjusted leverage
ratio target of between 3x and 4x (currently 3.1x).

"The stable outlook reflects our expectation for continued strong
sales and EBITDA growth with a high level of cash outlay for capex
and dividends. It also reflects our expectation that S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted leverage will be maintained below 4x over the next
12 months."

S&P could lower the rating if leverage approaches 5x. This could
occur due if:

-- Operating results underperform our forecast, possibly due to
heightened competition, weakening economic conditions or execution
issues related to the company's aggressive expansion plans; or

-- The company embarks on a more aggressive financial policy,
specifically if it increases its dividend payout ratio further or
its pace of new store openings.

S&P could raise the rating if the company:

-- Further broadens its operational scale through successful new
restaurant development while maintaining its leading operating
performance metrics, including AUVs and margins; and

-- Were to generate meaningful positive free cash flow sufficient
to fund its aggressive growth strategy while maintaining S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted leverage below 4x.

ESG factors have no material influence on S&P's credit rating
analysis of Raising Cane's.



READYMAX INC: Updates Several Secured Claims Pay Details
--------------------------------------------------------
ReadyMax, Inc. submitted an Amended Plan of Reorganization for
Small Business dated August 8, 2024.

The Debtor will fund the Plan by contributing his "Disposable
Income" for a period of 60-months. The Plan Proponent's financial
projections show Debtor will have projected average disposable
income of $1,000 per month, which will be disbursed to fund the
Plan on a quarterly basis.

The final Plan payment is expected to be paid on December 31, 2029.


This Plan of Reorganization proposes to pay creditors of the Debtor
from cash flow from operations of Debtor's businesses.

Non-priority unsecured creditors holding allowed claims in Debtor's
case will receive distributions, which the proponent of this Plan
has valued at two cents on the dollar. This Plan also provides for
the payment of administrative and priority claims.

Class 2 consists of the claim of the DIP Lenders. On the Effective
Date, each allowed Class 2 Secured Claim shall be converted to
Class C stock in the Debtor at the rate of 1 Class C share for
every $0.30 of the Class 2 claimholders post-petition loan to the
Debtor as approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

Class 3 consists of the claims of the Working Capital Partners. On
the Effective Date, each allowed Class 3 Secured Claim shall have
their Class 3 claim converted to Class C stock in the Debtor at the
rate of 1 Class C share for every $0.40 of the Class 3 claimholders
initial investment in the Debtor.

Class 4 consists of the secured claims Cascata and R3A. The Class 4
Secured Claims shall be bifurcated into: (a) a secured claim equal
to each Class claimholder's pro rata interest in the Class 4
Secured Claim; and (b) an unsecured claim equal to each Class
claimholder's pro rata interest in the Class 4 Unsecured Claim. The
Class 4 Secured Claim shall be paid in full over 60-months with
interest fixed at 10% per annum. Commencing on the latter of
Effective Date of the Plan or January 10, 2026, Debtor The Class 4
Unsecured Claim shall be reclassified to Class 6 and retain only
the rights of a Class 6 non-priority unsecured claim under this
Plan.

The Class 4 Secured Claim total $55,000. The Class 4 Unsecured
Claim total $876,285.

Any Class 4 claimholder making an election to have its claim
treated pursuant to Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code shall
receive payments with a total face value equal to the amount of
their allowed claim over a period of 180-months, which shall
commence on the latter of Effective Date of the Plan or January 10,
2026.

Like in the prior iteration of the Plan, each holder of a Class 6
non-priority unsecured Allowed Claim shall receive their pro rata
share of Debtor's Disposable Income, after the payment in full of
Administrative Claims and the Class 6 priority wage claim, through
the end of the Plan Term (the "Class 6 Plan Dividend").

The Debtor will use its Disposable Income during the Plan Term,
cash on hand, and profits from the operation of its business to
fund the Plan. Commencing on the latter of Effective Date of the
Plan or January 10, 2026, and continuing for a total period of
60-months, Debtor's Disposable Income will be disbursed on a
quarterly basis and first used to fund Debtor's required Plan
payments to allowed administrative expense claims, and then Class 5
priority wage claims, and then to Class 6 non-priority general
unsecured creditors in the order and manner set forth in this
Plan.

Upon confirmation of the Plan, Debtor shall authorize the issuance
of 800,000 new Class D shares, which shall be first offered to
existing equity holders in the Debtor. Cass D shares will be issued
at a price of $0.50 per share and shall have a first priority to
dividends and liquidation disbursements ahead of Classes A, B, C
and Common. This will allow Debtor to raise up to $400,000 for the
acquisition of inventory and other operating costs, which will
generate income to fund the Plan. Debtor believes it has initial
non-binding commitments to sell 200,000 shares to raise $100,000
immediately upon confirmation of the Plan.

RED OAK: S&P Assigns Prelim 'B+' Rating on Sr. Secured Term Loan B
------------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'B+' preliminary rating and '2'
recovery rating to Red Oak Power LLC's (Red Oak or the project)
proposed $260 million term loan B (TLB). Red Oak will use proceeds
to repay existing debt at the project. The preliminary rating is
subject to reviewing final terms and conditions of the final
issuance documents.

The preliminary '2' recovery rating indicates S&P's expectation for
substantial (70%-90%; rounded estimate: 85%) recovery in a default
scenario.

Red Oak's low leverage on a dollar per kilowatt basis and adequate
operating track record with high availability levels are partially
offset by material exposure to emissions costs and lower capacity
factors compared with those of peers, which reduces its energy
margins.

Red Oak will face competition from low-marginal-cost renewables and
therefore depends more heavily on capacity revenues rather than
energy margins.

The stable outlook reflects our expectation that Red Oak will
maintain average DSCRs of around 2.0x during the initial term loan
period (2024-2030) and a minimum debt service coverage ratio (DSCR)
of at least 1.27x for the project life during the post-refinancing
period (2031-2042), where we model a fully amortizing structure.
S&P forecasts $135 million of TLB outstanding at maturity in 2030.

Red Oak is an 805-megawatt (MW) combined-cycle gas-fired generation
facility (CCGT) with a 3x1 configuration in Sayreville, N.J.
(PJM-EMAAC). The project became operational in September 2002 and
is sponsored by Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners. Red Oak
sells capacity, energy, and ancillary services into the EMAAC
region of the PJM market and receives gas via New Jersey Natural
Gas Co.'s distribution network.

S&P said, "We expect strong financial performance during the TLB
term spurred by growing power demand in PJM, but longer-term
uncertainty given the power plant's high emission costs and
disadvantageous position on the dispatch curve.

"We expect adequate cash flow available for debt service (CFADS)
and resultant sweeps, supported by load increase and high capacity
prices, will lead to a term loan balance of about $135 million at
maturity. We believe load will increase across PJM primarily due to
data centers and electric vehicles, which will benefit Red Oak. At
the same time, we expect capacity factors will diminish as Red Oak
will face increased competition from renewables and batteries in
PJM toward the end of the decade, which will weaken its position on
the dispatch curve."

Red Oak is a load-following CCGT with a moderate level of dispatch
averaging 40%-45% capacity factors throughout project life under
our base-case assumptions. This is compared with assets that are
not exposed to RGGI and with a similar heat rate, that have
capacity factors above 60%. S&P said, "Commensurate with this type
of dispatch, and Red Oak's exposure to RGGI, we forecast average
dirty sparks of about $19 per megawatt-hour (/MWh) to $21/MWh.
Capacity prices for the 2025-2026 delivery year have cleared
significantly higher than in previous auctions, and we expect this
momentum to continue in the near term, which supports future cash
flows. With declining capacity factors, we expect an increasing
share of gross margin from capacity revenues in the longer term and
plant useful life to extend somewhat."

Low leverage from the proposed issuance is offset by Red Oak's
exposure to RGGI costs and lower capacity factors.

S&P said, "At $323/kW, Red Oak's leverage is low compared with that
of other entities we rate, measured on a dollar per kilowatt basis.
However, Red Oak is exposed to RGGI and despite the project's
relatively efficient nature, emission costs negatively affect
capacity factors, and it has only dispatched at about 40%-45%
capacity factors. Despite its relatively efficient nature, Red
Oak's capacity factors have been subdued, which can be partially
attributed to RGGI leakage, as the facility is less competitive
than generators in neighboring Pennsylvania. Red Oak is in the JCPL
zone of PJM, which is adjacent to Pennsylvania. Assets in
Pennsylvania do not have to bid in RGGI costs, and while we expect
Red Oak to realize higher dirty sparks (pre-emission cost) than
non-RGGI peers, clean sparks (net of RGGI costs) are typically
lower. Exacerbating this are elevated and increasing RGGI prices,
which have also seen demand from speculative traders."

Red Oak's hedging strategy provides some visibility into the energy
margins until 2025.

Red Oak operates as a merchant facility in PJM and has financially
settled HRCO and spark swap agreements, which cover approximately
60% of its capacity through October 2025. The majority of existing
hedges are HRCOs and management said it intends to layer on
additional HRCOs further out after transaction close. The HRCOs
have virtually no basis risk arising from gas pricing, minimal
basis risk for power pricing (1%-2% negative basis), and RGGI costs
are built in via indexing or are hedged, while the heat rate is in
line with to slightly above the plant heat rate. Moreover, there is
insurance coverage for forced outages, enabling the plant to cover
the hedged portion in a forced outage event, including if one gas
turbine is offline.

S&P expects final credit agreements to address anti-filing
mechanisms.

S&P said, "We assume the final credit agreements will include
language relating to anti-filing mechanisms, effectively de-linking
credit quality of the project from that of the parent.

"The stable outlook reflects our expectation that Red Oak will
maintain average DSCRs of around 2.0x during the initial term loan
period (2024-2030) and a minimum DSCR of at least 1.27x during the
post-refinancing period (2031-2042), where we assume a fully
amortizing structure. We forecast $135 million of TLB outstanding
at maturity in 2030."

S&P could lower its rating if Red Oak is unable to maintain DSCRs
above 1.20x on a sustained basis. This could stem from:

-- Weaker realized spark spreads or lower PJM capacity prices for
delivery year 2026-2027 and beyond;

-- Unplanned outages that substantially affect generation or
result in a reduction in capacity bonus;

-- Operational issues exacerbated by reduced HRCO premiums or net
outflows;

-- Economic factors in which the power plant dispatches materially
lower than our base-case expectations; or

-- The project's excess cash flow not translating into debt
paydown, resulting in a TLB balance of more than $140 million at
maturity.

S&P said, "We could raise the rating if we expect the project to
approach a minimum base-case DSCR close to 1.50x. We would expect
such outcomes to materialize only via significant improvement in
spark spreads and uncleared capacity prices in PJM's EMAAC zone
while realizing favorable capacity factors. We would also need to
see that a stronger financial performance is reflected in higher
de-leveraging during the term loan period."

RHODIUM ENCORE: Seeks Bankruptcy Protection in Texas
----------------------------------------------------
The MinerMag reports that Rhodium Enterprises, previously reported
to be facing financial difficulties, has filed for voluntary
bankruptcy protection for several of its bitcoin mining
subsidiaries.

The company submitted filings to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the
Southern District of Texas on Saturday, August 24, 2024, for
entities including Rhodium Encore, Jordan HPC, Rhodium JV, Rhodium
2.0, Rhodium 10MW, and Rhodium 30MW.

The lead filing, which has been consolidated under Rhodium Encore,
indicates that Rhodium's total liabilities range from $50 million
to $100 million, while its total assets are between $100 million
and $500 million.

Earlier this month, TheMinerMag reported that Rhodium Enterprises
failed to repay a total of $54 million in loans due to the lenders
of Rhodium Encore and Rhodium 2.0, which were set to mature on July
30, 2024. Rhodium raised $78 million in loans for the two
subsidiaries in 2021.

The company did not respond to TheMinerMag's previous inquiries
regarding the potential sale of its proprietary Temple site in
Texas, which creditors suggested as a means to repay the loans.

Additionally, Rhodium has filed a motion to the bankruptcy court to
decide whether it could "assume certain executory contracts with
Whinstone US," the colocation subsidiary of Riot Platforms.

As of December 31, 2022, Rhodium hosted 2.7 EH/s of its hashrate at
Riot's Rockdale site operated by Whinstone US and energized 1.1
EH/s at its own Temple site, which has a capacity of approximately
50 megawatts.

However, Rhodium's relationship with Winstone US began to
deteriorate in 2023, leading to an arbitration case in which
Rhodium is seeking at least $67 million in damages.

RITE AID: Wants to Keep 4 Ohio Stores Open in Chapter 11
--------------------------------------------------------
Dave DeNatale of wkyc studios reports that Rite Aid will be closing
all but four of its stores in Ohio by the end of September amid its
recovery from Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the pharmacy chain confirmed
to 3News on Wednesday.

In addition, all Rite Aid stores in Michigan will be shuttered by
the end of next month.

Rite Aid says it will maintain these four stores in Ohio:

* Ashland - 419 Claremont Avenue

* Cambridge - 1045 Wheeling Avenue

* Uhrichsville - 735 North Water Street

* Wooster - 1955 Cleveland Road

"The decision to close a store is not one we take lightly. We
carefully consider various factors in our decision-making,
including our overall business strategy," Rite Aid told 3News in an
email. "In addition, we were required to go through a retail sale
process as part of our Chapter 11 process, which allows prospective
buyers to bid on parts of our business. As a result, we made the
difficult but necessary business decision to exit these markets."

An initial list of 154 Rite Aid locations to be closed was revealed
last October, shortly after the pharmacy chain first filed for
Chapter 11. Six of the 154 closings were in Ohio, including
locations in Massillon and Youngstown. At the time, Rite Aid had
more than 2,000 stores nationwide.

Since then, Rite Aid has slowly announced closings across the
nation, including roughly 180 in Ohio and over 230 in Michigan.

"While we have had to make difficult business decisions over the
past several months to improve our business and optimize our retail
footprint, we are committed to becoming financially and
operationally healthy," Rite Aid added in its statement to 3News.

On June 28, a U.S. bankruptcy judge approved Rite Aid's
restructuring plan, allowing the pharmacy chain to cut $2 billion
in debt and turn over control of the company to a group of its
lenders. NBC News reported that Rite Aid would emerge from
bankruptcy with around 1,300 locations remaining.

So once all of the Rite Aid stores close in Ohio, what happens to
your prescriptions?

Rite Aid says "prescriptions and pharmacy inventory from the
impacted stores will be seamlessly transferred to Walgreens to
ensure no disruption of service."

ROTI RESTAURANTS: Seeks Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection
--------------------------------------------------------
Jonathan Maze of the Restaurant Business reports that Roti, the
Mediterranean fast-casual chain, on Friday, August 23, 2024, said
it had declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy, joining a parade of
summertime restaurant chain restructurings.

The Chicago-based chain said it plans to use the Chapter 11 process
to find new investors or a buyer as it reorganizes its finances.

The company says that it hopes to ensure that its locations in
Chicago, Minneapolis and Washington, D.C., will remain open.

The move follows a tough few years for the chain, which finished
2023 with 20 locations, about half the number it operated before
the pandemic, according to data from Restaurant Business sister
company Technomic.

Many of the closures came in 2021, as business to urban areas where
many Roti restaurants are located, was slow to return. The chain
closed a third of its restaurants that year.

But Roti closed four restaurants last year, too. System sales
declined 12% to $35.6 million, according to Technomic.

Roti is hardly alone. Sixteen restaurant chains have declared
bankruptcy this year and several more are believed to be near that
stage. Hooters is believed to be close to such a filing. The
fast-casual burger chain BurgerFi just this week hired a chief
restructuring officer, often a precursor to such a move.

Numerous other chains are restructuring out of court, meanwhile, as
lenders and company owners hope to avoid the time and expense of
court-ordered restructurings.

Many restaurant chains have struggled to get finances in order
coming out of the pandemic as costs increased, profits weakened and
the cost of debt increased—assuming it is available at all.

"After careful consideration, filing for bankruptcy was the best
way to address our challenges, including financial performance,
higher costs, mixed location performance and tough market
conditions," CEO Justin Seamonds said in a statement.

SASH & SILL: Seeks Chapter 7 Bankruptcy With $3.2-Million Debt
--------------------------------------------------------------
Christina Georgacopoulos of Tampa Bay Business Journal reports that
Sarasota window and door installation contractor Sash & Sill
officially filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy after its owner abruptly
told customers last month it would close its doors.

In an email on July 10, owner Todd Hoch said "unforeseen
circumstances" had significantly impacted the company's financial
stability and that he exhausted all resources to keep the business
afloat, according to a Fox13 report.

Sash & Sill owes $3.23 million in total to more than 170 creditors,
including $1.33 million to nearly 120 homeowners to refund deposits
they paid on unfinished projects, according to the bankruptcy filed
in the Middle District of Florida court on Aug. 14, 2024. The
filing shows the amounts owed to homeowners range from $2,000 up to
$72,400. Hoch said in July that the company would issue refunds and
complete certain projects as able.

An attorney for Sash & Sill did not return a request for comment.

The office of Florida's attorney general said it had received 50
complaints against Sash & Sill from customers as of Aug. 19,
according to reports.

The company also owes $283,000 on a merchant cash advance loan from
Fusion Funding and $150,000 on a Small Business Administration
loan. Hoch, who filed for personal bankruptcy on Aug. 14 in the
Middle District, put $250,000 of his own funds into the business
and received nearly $90,000 from family members, Sash & Sill's
filing shows.

In the company's Chapter 7 filing, Sash & Sill said much of its
inventory may have been damaged by wastewater during Hurricane
Debby earlier this month. The company listed the value of its
current inventory at approximately $11,500.

The company had $52.5 million in revenue in 2023, up from $4.5
million in 2022, but only $2.9 million year to date, according to
the filing.

Sash & Sill has $365,700 in assets, including a $50,000 flood
insurance policy and a $200,000 employee retention tax credit that
was filed in 2023 but still has not been received.

SHINECO INC: Expects $8.24 Million Proceeds From Stock Offering
---------------------------------------------------------------
Shineco, Inc. disclosed in a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission that on Aug. 22, 2024, it entered into a
securities purchase agreement with 22 purchasers, each an unrelated
third party to the Company.  Pursuant to the SPA, the Purchasers
agree to purchase, and the Company agreed to issue and sell to the
Purchasers, an aggregate of 14,985,000 shares of the Company's
common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a purchase price of
$0.55 per share, and for an aggregate purchase price of $8,241,750.


The Shares were offered under the Company's registration statement
on Form S-3 (File No. 333-261229), initially filed with the SEC on
Nov. 19, 2021, as amended on May 11, 2022, and on June 3, 2022, and
was declared effective on June 10, 2022.  A prospectus supplement
to the Registration Statement in connection with this Offering is

SPA, the transactions contemplated thereby, and the issuance of the

to date, and the Company also produces and sells healthy and
nutritious foods.

Singapore-based AssentSure PAC, the Company's auditor since 2021,
issued a "going concern" qualification in its report dated Sept.
28, 2023, citing that the Company had net losses of US$13,956,031
and US$27,067,139, and cash outflow of US$5,390,594 and
US$5,712,562 from operating activities for the years ended June 30,
2023 and 2022, respectively.  The auditor also draws attention to
Note 19 of the financial statements, which describes the
uncertainty related to the outcome of the lawsuits filed against
the Company.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

"As disclosed in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements, the Company had recurring net losses of
US$12.9 million and US$6.9 million, and continuing cash outflow of
US$2.9 million and US$2.5 million from operating activities from
continuing operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2024 and
2023, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had negative
working capital of US$20.9 million.  Management believes these
factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern for the next twelve months.  In
assessing the Company's going concern, management monitors and
analyzes the Company's cash on-hand and its ability to generate
sufficient revenue sources in the future to support its operating
and capital expenditure commitments. The Company's liquidity needs
are to meet its working capital requirements, operating expenses
and capital expenditure obligations. Direct offering and debt
financing have been utilized to finance the working capital
requirements of the Company," said Shineco in its Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2024.

Annual Report on Form 10-K reporting a net loss of $101.36 million
on $152.08 million of revenue for the year ended Dec. 31, 2023,
compared to a net loss of $438.87 million on $269.71 million of
revenue for the year ended Dec. 31, 2022.

As of Dec. 31, 2023, the Company had $395.83 million in total
assets, $185.34 million in total liabilities, and $210.49 million
in total stockholders' equity.

Skillz said, "We have experienced net losses in each period since
inception.  As of December 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit
of $974.5 million.  The industry in which we operate is highly
competitive, rapidly changing (including changes with respect to
advancements in artificial intelligence), and relies heavily on
continually introducing compelling content, products and services.
As such, if we, in combination with our third-party developers,
fail to deliver such content, products and services, do not execute
our strategy successfully or if our new content launches are
delayed, our revenue growth, overall revenue or user metrics may
decline, and our operating results will suffer."

Since inception, the Company has financed its operations primarily
from the sales of capital stock.  As of Dec. 31, 2023, the
Company's principal sources of liquidity were its cash and cash
equivalents in the amount of $302.0 million, which are primarily
invested in money market funds and marketable securities with
maturity less than three months, and marketable securities in the
amount of $1.1 million.

SMOKECRAFT CLARENDON: Claims Will be Paid from Ongoing Operations
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Smokecraft Clarendon, LLC, filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Maryland a Subchapter V Plan of Reorganization
dated August 8, 2024.

Smokecraft is the preeminent purveyor of barbecue in the
Washington, DC area. Smokecraft is a pitch-perfect exemplar of
American cuisine sitting in the suburbs of the American capital.
And this Plan is designed to ensure the Debtor persists long into
the future.

The Debtor proposes to pay all administrative and priority claims,
as well as the secured claim of Capital Bank, over a four-and-a
half-year time horizon.1 To accommodate the seasonality of
Smokecraft's business, these payments will be in uneven
installments, crafted to match the Debtor's projected disposable
income. Unfortunately, while some monies will be available for
disbursement to general unsecured creditors, the distribution will
be far from 100%.

Still, this Plan leaves all creditors in markedly better position
than they would be in the event of a Chapter 7 liquidation. And, of
primary importance, this Plan allows a vibrant local business to
remain open, a loyal workforce to remain employed, and local
citizens an opportunity to enjoy spectacular barbecue whilst
watching baseball and taking in displays of fireworks.

This Plan proposes to pay creditors of the Debtor from the general
cash flow of the Debtor.

Class 4 consists of all allowed nonpriority unsecured claims,
including the unsecured portion of the claim of Capital Bank. This
class will receive uneven tri-monthly payments commencing in August
2028, to be distributed, pari passu, amongst constituent members,
though this class may be earlier paid if there are excess funds
allocated to Class 3 or the administrative priority claimants. The
allowed unsecured claims total $1,145,568.66. This Class is
impaired.

The equity interests of the Debtor shall retain their membership in
Smokecraft.

The Debtor will continue to operate its eponymous restaurant, so as
to generate the revenues necessary to implement this Plan. The
margins are thin, but Smokecraft believes the projected payments to
be feasible in nature and is committed to performing under this
Plan so as to realize the proverbial "fresh start" promised by the
bankruptcy process.

The Debtor has also made reference, during the pendency of this
case, to a potential insurance claim for stolen monies. The Debtor
believes the maximum recovery of such a claim would be $1,500.00
and, in light of ongoing criminal proceedings against the alleged
culprit and a police recovery of stolen monies, the Debtor
reasonably anticipates $1,300.00 will be returned to the Debtor in
the form of restitution. As such, and appreciating the efforts
attendant to making a claim for the remaining $200.00 would
necessitate the diversion of resources worth more than $200.00, the
Debtor does not reasonably anticipate further pursuing an insurance
claim.

At core, and unsurprisingly, this Plan will be funded through the
ongoing operations of the Debtor's restaurant.

On May 13, 2024, the Company dismissed BF Borgers CPA PC as its

its owner, Benjamin F. Borgers, were charged by the Securities and

with Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) standards in
its audits and reviews incorporated in more than 1,500 SEC filings
from January 2021 through June 2023; falsely representing to their
clients that the firm's work would comply with PCAOB standards;
fabricating audit documentation to make it appear that the firm's
work did comply with PCAOB standards; and falsely stating in audit
reports included in more than 500 public company SEC filings that
the firm's audits complied with PCAOB standards. Borgers agreed to
pay a $14 million civil penalty and agreed to permanent suspensions

SS INNOVATIONS: Expands Board to 7, Appoints Moll and Adams
-----------------------------------------------------------
SS Innovations International, Inc. disclosed in a Form 8-K Report
filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that on
effective August 20, 2024, SSi expanded its board of directors from
five to seven members and Dr. Frederic Moll and Timothy P. Adams
were appointed as directors to fill the newly created vacancies on
the board. In addition, Dr. Moll was appointed as non-executive
Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Frederic Moll, M.D., 73, most recently served as Chief Development

2019 to March 2023. Dr. Moll was a co-founder and, from September
2012 to 2019, was the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Auris
Health, Inc., a robotics medical device company that was acquired
by Johnson & Johnson in 2019. Dr. Moll is also the Founding Partner
of Sonder Capital Management, LLC, a healthcare venture capital
investment firm. He served on the board of Shockwave Medical, Inc.
from March 2011 through its acquisition by Johnson & Johnson in May
2024, where he was a member of the nominating and corporate
governance committee. Earlier in his career, Dr. Moll founded and
co-founded three other surgical robotics companies, including
Intuitive Surgical, Inc., a world leader in surgical robotics, in
1995. Dr. Moll received a B.A. in economics from the University of
California at Berkeley, an M.S. in management from Stanford
University and an M.D. from the University of Washington. We
believe that Dr. Moll's achievements, standing and extensive
experience in the field of robotic surgery, will make him a
valuable member of the Company's board of directors.

Timothy P. Adams, 56, is a well-known and highly regarded
healthcare executive with over 30 years of hospital operations
experience. Since January 2018, Mr. Adams has occupied various
executive positions with Ascension, one of the largest healthcare
providers in the United States. Since March 2024, he has served as

Vice President/Regional Operating Officer, responsible for
Ascension's Florida, Indiana, Alabama, Kansas, Maryland, New York,
Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas ministry markets. For approximately
six years prior to joining Ascension, Mr. Adams served as a Region

STIMWAVE TECHNOLOGIES: Trustee Wins Bid to Dismiss Perryman Suit
----------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Thomas M. Horan of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware granted the motion filed by Province, LLC, as
Liquidating Trustee for the SWTI Liquidating Trust, to dismiss
Garry Perryman's complaint against Stimwave Technologies
Incorporated and Stimwave LLC with prejudice.

The Liquidating Trustee seeks dismissal of the Complaint on the
narrow grounds of lack of service.

Mr. Perryman alleges he was a director of Stimwave Technologies and
Stimwave LLC beginning in July 2013.

On June 27, 2023, Mr. Perryman, as the sole member of LTP Limited
LLC, filed a proof of claim against Stimwave Technologies that
appears on the claims register as claim number 105. LTP filed Claim
105 as a general unsecured claim arising out of indemnification
rights for legal fees. On July 13, 2023, LTP assigned the Claim to
Mr. Perryman.

On April 15, 2023, the Liquidating Trustee objected to Claim 105 on
the basis that it does not appear in the Debtors' books and
records.

On October 25, 2023, Mr. Perryman commenced this adversary
proceeding by filing the Complaint. Mr. Perryman sought payment of
the very claim subject to the Claims Objection.

In connection with the Complaint, Mr. Perryman filed an Amended
Summons and Notice of Pretrial Conference in an Adversary
Proceeding. The summons is undated and does not bear the signature
or seal of the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court.

Mr. Perryman also filed a Certificate of Service that purports that
service of the Summons and Complaint was made by Michael Perryman.
The Certificate of Service was signed by Gary Perryman and dated
October 23, 2023, which was two days before he filed the
Complaint.

Notwithstanding his stipulation and agreement that the Summons and
Complaint were not served on the Liquidating Trustee, on July 8,
2024, Mr. Perryman filed his Motion for Entry of Default by Clerk.
On July 12, 2024, the Default Motion was denied.

On July 19, 2024, the Liquidating Trustee filed the Motion to
Dismiss. The Liquidating Trustee advances four principal
arguments:

     1. Mr. Perryman stipulated that the Summons and Complaint were
not served and is now barred by principles of quasi estoppel from
contending otherwise.

     2. The Liquidating Trustee's opposition to the Withdrawal
Motion, where the Liquidating Trustee stated that the Complaint had
not been served.

     3. There is no signed summons on the docket, and therefore it
could have not been effectively served.

     4. The Certificate of Service is invalid because (i) it is
dated two days before Mr. Perryman filed the Complaint and
therefore could not have been served with the Summons and (ii) "it
is not addressed in a manner that could effect service."

The Court points out Mr. Perryman stipulated that he did not serve
the Summons and Complaint. More than 90 days have passed since he
filed the Complaint. He has made no argument, and offered no
evidence, that his failure to serve the Summons and Complaint
within ninety days was for good cause, the Court notes. Mr.
Perryman is bound by his stipulation that he did not serve the
Summons and Complaint. For this reason alone, the Motion to Dismiss
is granted, the Court states.

According to the Court, the Motion to Dismiss also is granted
because even if Mr. Perryman had served the Summons and Complaint,
the Summons was defective. Under Rule 4(a)(1)(F) and (G), a summons
"must . . . be signed by the clerk . . . and bear the court's
seal." The Summons was not signed by, and did not bear the seal of,
the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court, the Court says. When a summons
is not signed by the clerk of the court and the seal affixed, the
consequence is dismissal.  The parties cannot waive a void summons.
Because there is no valid summons in this case, there would be "no
purpose" in extending the time for service. Therefore, dismissal of
the Complaint is with prejudice, the Court holds.

The Certificate of Service was dated two days before the Complaint
was filed and, therefore, two days before the Summons could have
been issued, the Court states. The Summons and Complaint could not
have been served before the Summons was issued. The Court finds
that the Certificate of Service is unreliable and provides
insufficient evidence that service was made.

Code (Bankr. D. Del. Lead Case No. 22-10541) on June 15, 2022. In
the petition signed by Aure Bruneau, as manager, the Debtors
disclosed up to $100 million in assets and up to $50 million in

tapped Honigman LLP and Jones Day as special counsel; Riverson RTS,
LLC as financial advisor; and GLC Advisors and Co., LLC and GLCA

Administration is the Debtors' administrative advisor and notice,

On July 6, 2022, the U.S. Trustee for Region 3 appointed an
official committee of unsecured creditors in these cases.  Culhane
Meadows, PLLC and Province, LLC serve as the committee's legal
counsel and financial advisor, respectively.

On March 21, 2023, the Court entered its Findings of Fact,
Conclusions of Law and Order Confirming the Second Amended Joint
Plan of Liquidation of Stimwave Technologies Incorporated and
Stimwave LLC. The Plan became effective on May 31, 2023. Under the
Plan, a liquidating trust was established, and Province, LLC, was
appointed as Liquidating Trustee for the SWTI Liquidating Trust.

SUNPOWER CORP: Gets Go Signal to Sell Assets to Complete Solaria
----------------------------------------------------------------
Dorothy Ma and Steven Church of Bloomberg News reports that
SunPower Corp. got approval to sell its assets to rival Complete
Solaria Inc. on Thursday, after declining demand and rising
inflation pushed the California solar firm into bankruptcy in
August 2024, Bloomberg News reports.

US Bankruptcy Judge Craig Goldblatt said he’d approve a $45
million stalking-horse bid for a chunk of SunPower’s assets,
including the company's direct-to-consumer unit Blue Raven and some
dealer networks. The deal means that if no higher offers come in at
an auction to be held in the coming weeks, Complete Solaria will
get the assets, according to Bloomberg News.

SUPPLY SOURCE: Unsecureds to Get Share of GUC Recovery
------------------------------------------------------
Supply Source Enterprises, Inc., and its Debtor Affiliates filed
with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware a
Combined Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation and Disclosure
Statement dated August 8, 2024.

In 2014, Impact Products and Safety Zone were standalone
businesses, each specializing in providing certain safety and
hygiene products and operating in different parts of the United
States. Over the course of the next several years, both Impact
Products and Safety Zone were acquired and combined with certain
other strategic businesses under the "Supply Source Enterprises"
name.

As of the Petition Date, the Company provided comprehensive
bundling of cleaning and safety products to its customers, with
over 60% of its customers purchasing products across one or more of
its primary four product categories. The Debtors' products included
personal protective equipment, cleaning and dusting supplies,
dispensing equipment, floor care products, gloves, microfiber
products, safety products, receptacles and material handling
equipment, and washroom supplies.

The Debtors' prepetition Marketing Process culminated in the
negotiation of and entry into the Stalking Horse APA. In connection
with the Stalking Horse APA, and prior to the Petition Date, the
Purchaser ("TZ SSE Buyer LLC") purchased the Prepetition ABL
Facility and Prepetition Term Loan Facility (also referred to
herein as the Debt Purchase Transaction), at the insistence of the
then Prepetition ABL Lenders, and agreed to the funding of the DIP
Financing to fund these Chapter 11 Cases, the closing of the Sale,
and wind down expenses.

On July 10, 2024, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Sale Order
approving the Sale pursuant to the Stalking Horse APA. The Sale
closed on July 19, 2024.

Pursuant to the Stalking Horse APA, the Purchaser purchased
substantially all of the Debtors' assets including all Avoidance
Actions, with the exception of certain Avoidance Actions against
certain of the Excluded Vendors, set forth in schedule 2.2(n) of
the Stalking Horse APA, and all of the rights, claims or Causes of
Action of the Debtors of any kind, including those available under
the Bankruptcy Code, against any officer, director, employee,
manager or Affiliate of, or lender to, any of the Debtors or any of
their respective Affiliates (and the proceeds of any Insurance
Policies related to any such rights, claims, or causes of action)
arising at any time prior to the Closing Date. Pursuant to the
Stalking Horse APA, such Avoidance Actions, rights, claims, and
Causes of Action, were waived and released in full immediately upon
Closing.

Pursuant to the Final DIP Order, the Debtors, the Committee, the
Prepetition Secured Parties, the DIP Lender, and HIG reached a
settlement (referred to herein as the Committee Settlement). The
Committee Settlement included an agreement by and among the
Debtors, the Committee, and HIG, whereby HIG would forever and
irrevocably waive the HIG Claims in exchange for mutual releases by
and among the Debtors, their estates and creditors, the Committee,
and HIG. This Plan constitutes a motion seeking Court approval of
the settlement of these matters pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019.

The HIG Claims include unpaid claims under HIG's management
services agreement with the Debtors and potential claims for
indemnity and contribution from the Debtors. The HIG Claims would
significantly and materially reduce recoveries to General Unsecured
Claims if they were to become Allowed. Litigating whether the HIG
Claims are Allowed would be timely and expensive and the outcome
would be uncertain. As a result, the Debtors and Committee submit
that resolving the HIG Claims pursuant to the terms for the Plan
are in the best interests of the Debtors' Estates and constitute a
valid exercise of the Debtors' business judgment.

Class 3 consists of all General Unsecured Claims. Each holder of an
Allowed General Unsecured Claim shall receive its pro rata share of
the GUC Recovery. Pursuant to the Committee Settlement, upon the
Closing Date, each Holder of a Prepetition Secured Party Deficiency
Claim waived the right to receive any Distribution on account of
its Prepetition Secured Party Deficiency Claim. Class 3 is Impaired
under the Plan.

Class 5 consists of all Existing Equity. On the Effective Date,
Existing Equity of the Debtors shall be cancelled, and the Holders
of Existing Equity Interests shall receive no Distribution under
the Plan.

Payments required to be made under the Plan shall be funded from
(i) Cash held by the Debtors as of the Effective Date, including
Excluded Excess Cash, Additional Excluded Cash, and Remaining
Professional Fee Escrow Amounts, if any; and (ii) net proceeds of
Retained Causes of Action.

On or prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors, on their own behalf
and on behalf of Holders of the Beneficiaries, will execute the
Liquidation Trust Agreement and will take all other steps necessary
to establish the Liquidation Trust pursuant to the Liquidation
Trust Agreement as further described in Article XI hereof. On the
Effective Date (or, with respect to the Remaining Professional Fee
Escrow Amounts, on the Escrow Amounts Transfer Date) or as soon
thereafter as is practicable, and in accordance with and pursuant
to the terms of the Plan, the Debtors will transfer to the
Liquidation Trust all of their rights, title, and interests in all
of the Liquidation Trust Assets.

Disclosure Statement dated August 8, 2024 is available at

TERRAFORM LABS: Faces Key Chapter 11 Hearing on Sept. 19
--------------------------------------------------------
Bena Ilyas and Julia Sakovich of Coinspeaker report bankrupt crypto
firm Terraform Labs is approaching a pivotal moment as its Chapter
11 bankruptcy reorganization hearing is set for September 19th in
Beijing. The outcome of this court date will decide whether the
company can rise from the ashes or face complete liquidation.

Terraform Labs' troubles began in May 2022 with the de-pegging of
its algorithmic stablecoin UST from the US dollar. The crisis
triggered a domino effect that wiped out billions in investor funds
and sent shockwaves through the crypto ecosystem.

The collapse not only eroded investor confidence but also attracted
the scrutiny of regulators. In February 2023, the US Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a lawsuit against Terraform Labs,
alleging securities violations.

            Terraform Labs Faces $4.5B Settlement

January 2024 marked a turning point for Terraform Labs as they
filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Delaware. This initiated a
complex legal process to determine the company's future. Do Kwon,
the co-founder and former CEO, was embroiled in the controversy and
faced legal repercussions.

In July 2024, a significant development emerged as Terraform Labs
and Kwon settled with the SEC for a hefty $4.5 billion. This
settlement, one of the largest in crypto history, included
penalties, disgorgement of funds, and interest. Additionally, it
effectively barred both Kwon and Terraform Labs from the crypto
industry, signifying a definitive end for the once-influential
firm.

As part of the bankruptcy proceedings, Terraform Labs is currently
trying to sell key assets to meet its financial obligations under
the SEC settlement. The company owns the key assets including
platforms like Pulsar Finance (portfolio tracking), Station (crypto
wallet), Enterprise (no-code DAO management), and Warp (smart
contract automation).

Terraform Labs is offloading these assets, once seen as valuable in
their ecosystem, to raise necessary funds. This strategic move
shows the company's desperate financial situation.

              SEC Settlement's Heavy Toll on Crypto

The hefty $4.5 billion SEC settlement serves as a stark reminder of
the consequences associated with misconduct in the crypto industry.
It underscores the importance of responsible innovation and
adherence to regulatory guidelines.

However, the court-authorized reopening of the Shuttle Bridge, a
key component in Terraform Labs' blockchain ecosystem, and the
destruction of a substantial amount of LUNA tokens offer a glimmer
of hope for potential restructuring.

September 19's hearing will be a critical event for Terraform Labs,
which will decide whether the company can successfully navigate
this legal gauntlet and emerge from bankruptcy, albeit in a
much-diminished form.

                     About Terraform Labs

Terraform Labs Pte. Ltd. -- https://www.terra.money -- is a startup
that created Terra, a blockchain protocol and payment platform used
for algorithmic stablecoins. It was co-founded by Do Kwon and
Daniel Shin in 2018 in Seoul, South Korea.

Terraform Labs introduced its first cryptocurrency token, TerraUSD,
in 2019. Investment firms like Arrington Capital, Coinbase
Ventures, Galaxy Digital, and Lightspeed Venture Partners helped
Terraform Labs raise more than $200 million.

The collapse of the stablecoins TerraUSD (UST) and Luna in May 2022
caused the temporary suspension of the Terra network, wiping out
over $45 billion in market capitalization in a single week.

Both of Terra Form Labs' founders have encountered legal problems
as a result of the devaluation of the company's currency. In
September 2022, South Korean prosecutors filed a warrant for Do
Kwon's arrest. He was also added to Interpol's Red Notice list,
which urges other law enforcement to find and detain him.

Terraform Labs Pte. Ltd. sought relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 24-10070) on Jan. 22,
2024. In the petition filed by Chris Amani, as chief executive
officer, the Debtor estimated assets and liabilities between $100
million and $500 million each.

THERMAL BORROWER: S&P Assigns 'B' ICR, Outlook Stable
-----------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'B' issuer credit rating to Thermal
Borrower.

S&P said, "At the same time, we assigned our 'B' issue-level rating
to the company's proposed seven-year $900 million TLB and five-year
$160 million revolving credit facility. The recovery rating is '3'
indicating our expectation for meaningful (50% - 70%; rounded
estimate: 50%) recovery for lenders in the event of a payment
default.

"The stable outlook reflects our forecast for S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted leverage around mid-6x in 2025, improving modestly
in 2026 as stable end-market demand and the realization of
operational improvement initiatives drive modest EBITDA growth."

Brookfield Capital Partners is acquiring nVent Electric PLC's
thermal management business through a new entity, Thermal Borrower,
for $1.7 billion. Thermal Borrower provides electric heat
management solutions globally, including heat tracing products
through its RAYCHEM brand.

To finance the acquisition, Thermal Borrower plans to enter into a
$900 million term loan B (TLB) and issue $854 million of common
equity to Brookfield. The proposed capital structure also includes
a $160 million revolving credit facility, which is expected to be
fully available at close.

S&P forecasts Thermal Borrower's S&P Global Ratings-adjusted
leverage will be high at mid-6x in 2025 and high-5x in 2026.

Notwithstanding the relatively sizeable common equity contribution
by Brookfield to Thermal Borrower to help fund the acquisition and
carve-out costs, leverage immediately following the transaction
close (assuming Jan. 1, 2025) will be high and remain elevated,
albeit improving, through 2026. S&P said, "While we forecast
low-single-digit percent revenue growth through 2026, we expect
additional stand-alone costs to operate as an independent entity
(around $8 million-$9 million annually) will weigh on its S&P
Global Ratings-adjusted EBITDA margin, as compared to operating as
part of nVent Electric. We also expect relatively sizeable upfront
costs to achieve identified operational savings in the first two
years post-acquisition. In 2025, we assume costs will eclipse the
benefit from operational savings, but that the company begins to
realize a net benefit in 2026."

S&P said, "Still, our forecast assumes S&P Global Ratings-adjusted
EBITDA margin remains good at low-20%. Although we assume
restructuring-related expenses will impact EBITDA, we assume the
operating environment will remain fairly stable and gross margin
will improve modestly on higher volumes.

"The company's ability to lower leverage, in our view, is dependent
on successfully separating, realizing savings from
operational-improvement initiatives within the first two years
post-close, and experiencing sustained end-market demand.

"Although we expect the company to maintain its leading market
positions, Thermal Borrower's relatively small scale and narrow
product offerings exposes the company to downside risks.

"Despite the company's leading market positions and good brand
reputation--including through its RAYCHEM brand in thermal
solutions and electric heat tracing (EHT)--we believe Thermal
Borrower may be more exposed to volatility in profitability over
time given its relatively small revenue base, narrow product focus,
and higher cost base as a stand-alone company, at least in the
first year or two post-acquisition.

"Thermal Borrower generated about $600 million in revenue in 2023,
with most of its revenue relating to EHT products and services that
we estimate to be a $2 billion-$3 billion total addressable market.
The business is largely short cycle, resulting in less revenue
visibility relative to many other capital goods manufacturers."

Further, the company remains exposed to cyclical end markets,
including industrial, commercial and residential construction, and
traditional energy end markets. While Thermal Borrower provides
project-based services, the company is often one of the last
vendors to be engaged, and therefore incurs the risk that deferred
projects could push out contracted revenue.

Thermal Borrower's aftermarket revenue provides some margin
enhancement and additional revenue opportunity that S&P considers
beneficial.

Thermal Borrower has a large installed base of about $5 billion of
heat tracing cables. It generates a significant amount of
higher-margin revenue through maintenance, repair, and operations
(MRO) projects and related services of previously installed
product. To compete more effectively and better protect this
revenue opportunity, the company works with architectural
engineering firms to include its products into architectural plans.
It also maintains good relationships with its diverse distribution
channel and customer base. Although the large installed base
provides a benefit since most customers need to replace their EHT
product with like-for-like brands, it is not contracted at the time
of installation.

S&P forecasts positive and increasing FOCF, but expect sizable cash
outlays in the first year post acquisition.

S&P said, "In addition to the incremental stand-alone and upfront
costs to achieve operational savings, we expect the company will
incur over $50 million of one-time costs relating to the separation
of operations from its current parent nVent Electric. While we
exclude the one-time separation costs from our calculation of
adjusted EBITDA, they do reduce cash flow available to the business
in 2025, including to reduce leverage.

"Partially offsetting these costs, we note that as part of the
transaction, Brookfield is adding $45 million of cash to the
balance sheet to fund these initiatives. Moreover, we expect
working capital to be a moderate source of cash in 2025 due to
optimization initiatives for working capital management. We
forecast EBITDA growth to drive FOCF improvement in 2026. We also
believe the business requires generally low capital expenditure
(capex), at about 1%-2% of annual revenue.

"The stable outlook reflects our forecast for S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted leverage around mid-6x in 2025, improving modestly
in 2026 as stable end-market demand and operational improvement
drive modest EBITDA growth."

S&P could lower its ratings if S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage
sustains above 6.5x or if FOCF turns negligible or negative. This
could occur if:

-- Demand for the company's heat trace or other products declines
and pressures profitability;

-- The company is unable to realize cost-out actions that grow
EBITDA to a level that accommodates its significant debt
obligations; or

-- The company pursues a more aggressive financial policy,
including debt-funded acquisitions or shareholder returns.

While unlikely in the near term, S&P could raise its rating on the
company if:

-- S&P Global Ratings-adjusted debt to EBITDA decreases below 5x
on a sustained basis;

-- Management and the company's owners commit to a financial
policy that is commensurate with this level of leverage, including
the impact of potential future acquisitions and shareholder
rewards; and

-- The company demonstrates a track record of generating good FOCF
as a stand-alone entity.



THIRD COAST: S&P Assigns 'BB' Issuer Credit Rating, Outlook Stable
------------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned a 'BB' issuer credit rating to Third
Coast Infrastructure LLC (Third Coast) and a 'BB+' issue-level
rating to the proposed senior secured term loan B (TLB) with a
recovery rating of '2'. The '2' recovery rating indicates its
expectation of substantial (70%-90%; rounded estimate: 75%)
recovery in the event of a default.

The stable outlook reflects its expectation that Third Coast will
generate stable cash flow and its S&P Global Ratings-adjusted
leverage will be 2.75x-3.00x in 2024 and 2.00x-2.25x in 2025.

Third Coast intends to issue a $950 million senior secured TLB and
put in place a $100 million revolving credit facility (RCF), which
will be pari passu. The company will use majority of the proceeds
to repay outstanding debt at Third Coast and Third Coast Super
Holdings LLC (Super Holdings). At close, the RCF will be undrawn.

Third Coast and its joint venture (JV) affiliates' contract profile
provide good cash flow visibility. S&P said, "We estimate over 90%
of the company's cash flows are underpinned by life-of-lease
dedication and long-term fixed-fee and take-or-pay contracts, which
also leads to minimal direct commodity price exposure. Although the
company heavily relies on JV affiliates for cash flow to service
its financial obligations, we expect distributions from its JV
affiliates will remain stable throughout the outlook period. We
expect Third Coast to generate S&P Global Ratings-adjusted EBITDA
of $320 million-$330 million in 2024 and $350 million-$360 million
in 2025."

Third Coast benefits from its strategic asset location in the Gulf
of Mexico. Including the company's investments in JV affiliates, it
has three reportable segments including floating production systems
(FPSs), natural gas pipelines, and liquids pipelines. S&P said, "We
view Third Coast's assets as critical infrastructure in its
catchment area that covers over 50% of Gulf of Mexico natural gas
production. It benefits from lower break-even prices in that region
compared with other basins. In 2024, we estimate over 85% of Third
Coast's gross margin will come from its FPSs, which receive raw
production including a mixture of crude oil, natural gas, and
produced water from deepwater wells. We view barriers to entry in
the FPS segment as high given the technological complexity and high
cost of constructing these assets. In general, we view volumes from
deepwater wells favorably given the low decline rates of these
assets."

These business strengths are partially offset by the company's
limited operational scale, limited geographic diversity (with a
concentration in the Gulf of Mexico), somewhat more limited
counterparties with investment-grade ratings, relatively low asset
utilization compared with peers', and exposure to volumetric risk
associated with hurricane downtime.

S&P said, "In our view, Third Coast has a clear path to deleverage
over the next two years. The majority of the company's operating
expenses and capital expenditures are passed through to producers.
With distributions from JV affiliates, we expect it will have at
least $200 million of free operating cash flow in 2024 and 2025.
The company's TLB is also subject to a 75% excess cash flow (ECF)
sweep if its leverage exceeds 4.0x, decreasing to 50% when leverage
is 2.0x-4.0x, 25% when leverage is 1.5x-2.0x, and no cash sweep
when it falls below 1.5x. With ECF sweeps, we forecast Third
Coast's S&P Global Ratings-adjusted debt to EBITDA will decrease
from 2.75x-3.00x in 2024 to 2.00x-2.25x in 2025.

"Our stable outlook on Third Coast reflects the predictability and
stability of the company's cash flows backed by a supportive
contractual framework. We expect S&P Global Ratings-adjusted
leverage of 2.75x-3.00x in 2024 and 2.00x-2.25x in 2025.

"We could consider a negative rating action if we forecast Third
Coast will sustain S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage above
2.75x, which could occur due to lower-than-expected EBITDA
generation or lower-than-anticipated excess cash flow sweep."

Although unlikely, S&P could consider a positive rating action on
Third Coast if:

-- The company materially expands the size, scale, and diversity
of its operations such that S&P views its business risk profile
more favorably; and

-- It maintains its current financial policy.

Environmental factors are a negative consideration in S&P's credit
rating analysis of Third Coast. The company has assets including
natural gas gathering and transmission pipelines, natural gas
liquids and crude oil pipelines, gas processing plants, and its
interests in several deepwater floating production systems. The
company's volumes and asset utilization could decline if drilling
activity softens and production levels weaken as part of the energy
transition.

TREVENA INC: Regains Compliance With Nasdaq Bid Price Requirement
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Trevena, Inc. disclosed in a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission that on Aug. 28, 2024, the Company received
notice from the Nasdaq Office of General Counsel that the Company
had regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which
requires listed companies to have a minimum bid price of at least
$1 per share.

On March 1, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq stating
that the Company had not regained compliance for continued
inclusion on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the Minimum Bid Price
Requirement.  As permitted under Nasdaq rules, the Company appealed
Nasdaq's determination and requested a hearing before the Panel.

On Aug. 23, 2024, the Company notified the Panel that the Company
expected to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price
Requirement on or before Aug. 28, 2024.

                     Nasdaq Grants Extension Request

In a separate notice on Aug. 28, 2024, Nasdaq notified the Company
that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel had granted the Company's request
for an extension until Oct. 2, 2024, to regain compliance with
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) to maintain a minimum of $2.5
million in stockholders' equity for continued listing on the Nasdaq
Capital Market.

On April 5, 2024, the Company was notified by Nasdaq that the
Company no longer complied with the Equity Standard Requirement.
At the Appeal Hearing on May 2, 2024, the Company presented its
plan to regain and maintain compliance with both the Minimum Bid
Price Requirement and the Equity Standard Requirement.

On May 13, 2024, the Company received a decision letter from the
Panel granting the Company an extension until Aug. 28, 2024,
subject to certain conditions, to regain compliance with the
Minimum Bid Price Requirement and the Equity Standard Requirement.
The Company requested until Oct. 2, 2024, which is 180 days
following its receipt of the notice of deficiency with regard to
the Equity Standard Requirement.

The Company said that while it is exploring options to regain
compliance with the Equity Standard Requirement, there can be no

TURNSTONE BIOLOGICS: Issues 'Going Concern' Warning
---------------------------------------------------
Connor Hart of Wall Street Journal reports that Turnstone Biologics
said it substantially doubts its ability to continue as a going
concern for the next 12 months, due to its expected operating
losses and negative cash flows.

The La Jolla, Calif.-based biotechnology company's ability to
continue as a going concern is dependent on additional funding,
which it intends to raise through equity offerings, debt financings
and other capital sources, it said in a filing with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

"However, we may not be able to secure additional financing in a
timely manner or on favorable terms, if at all," it warned.

Turnstone in the second quarter posted a net loss of $21.3 million,
or 92 cents a share, compared to a loss of $21.5 million, or $7.56
a share, in last year's quarter. The company in its recent quarter
had 23 million shares outstanding, compared to 2.8 million in the
prior year.

The company ended the quarter with cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments of $62.4 million, which it expects will fund
operations into next year's third quarter.

Turnstone also reported positive initial data from a clinical trial
testing a treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer.

UPHEALTH INC: Completes $8.9MM Repurchase of 2025 Notes
-------------------------------------------------------
UpHealth, Inc. disclosed in a Form 8-K Report filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission that on August 27, 2024, the
Company completed the offer to repurchase a portion of its Variable
Rate Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2025.

On August 23, 2024, the Company initiated an open market offer to
repurchase up to $8.28 million of the 2025 Notes, using funds from
the Adjustment Escrow Account and the Tax Escrow Account
("Repurchase Offer"). The repurchase price is 105% of the principal
amount, plus accrued interest, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in purchase agreements negotiated by the
Company with the noteholders that collectively own 100% of the
outstanding 2025 Notes (the "Repurchase Agreements").

The Company repurchased a portion of the 2025 Notes, in the
aggregate amount of $8.28 million in principal, with the purchase
price for the 2025 Notes also including approximately $0.4 million
in premium and approximately $0.2 million in interest, for a total
purchase price of approximately $8.9 million that was paid for with
the funds released from the Adjustment Escrow Account and the Tax
Escrow Account. All of the Notes that were repurchased pursuant to
the Repurchase Offers ceased to be outstanding as of August 27,
2024, and such Notes will cease to accrue interest as a result of
their repurchase. Following the completion of the Repurchase
Offers, approximately $29.2 million in aggregate principal amount
of the 2025 Notes remains outstanding.

As previously disclosed in Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with
the SEC on November 16, 2023, and November 20, 2023, the Company
entered into a membership interests purchase agreement with its
wholly-owned subsidiary Cloudbreak Health, LLC and Forest Buyer,
LLC on November 16, 2023. Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company
agreed to sell all outstanding equity interests of Cloudbreak and
its subsidiaries to Forest Buyer for $180.0 million in cash,
subject to adjustments for closing indebtedness, net working
capital, cash, and unpaid transaction expenses. Concurrently, the
Company, Cloudbreak, and Forest Buyer signed a transaction support
agreement with certain beneficial holders of the Company's Variable
Rate Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2025 and 6.25%
Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2026 to facilitate the entry
into supplemental indentures for Fundamental Change Repurchase
Offers.

On February 9, 2024, the Company, Cloudbreak, and Forest Buyer
entered into a supplemental indenture and amendment to the security
and pledge agreement, amending the August 18, 2022 indenture
relating to the 2025 Notes. Additionally, the Company executed a
supplemental indenture amending the June 9, 2021 indenture relating
to the 2026 Notes.

Following stockholder approval of the Cloudbreak Sale on February
29, 2024, the sale was completed on March 15, 2024, as disclosed in
the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 18, 2024.

In connection with the Cloudbreak Sale, the Company commenced
Fundamental Change Repurchase Offers on April 12, 2024, to
repurchase all 2026 Notes and 2025 Notes for cash. The offers
expired on May 31, 2024. On June 3, 2024, the Company completed the
repurchase, acquiring all 2026 Notes for $118.6 million and a
portion of the 2025 Notes for $21.4 million. The Second Lien
Indenture was discharged, leaving approximately $37.5 million of
2025 Notes outstanding.

On July 15, 2024, the Company received approximately $2.99 million
from the Adjustment Escrow Account and $5.9 million from the Tax
Escrow Account. These funds are to be used for repurchasing
outstanding 2025 Notes, with any remaining amounts available for
other uses. Following these releases, the Adjustment Escrow Account
was depleted, and $21.1 million remains in the Tax Escrow Account.

Company recognized a net loss of $862,406 and cash used in
operating activities was $151,845.  As the Company further develops
its products and markets, the Company may need to raise additional
capital or borrow additional funds to support increasing levels of
working capital until it is able to generate sufficient revenues.

"Management plans to generate increasing revenues and as needed
raise additional capital or borrow additional funds in order to
provide liquidity and fund increasing levels of working capital to
continue operations as a going concern.  However, there is no
assurance the Company will be successful in accomplishing its
plans. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.  These financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
of this uncertainty."

of a restructuring support agreement (RSA), and the management's
doubt around Vertex's ability to operate as a going concern
mentioned in its financial statements. Fitch considers a scenario
under which Vertex announces a restructuring transaction that could
be considered a distressed debt exchange (DDE) as probable.

In June 2024, S&P Global Ratings lowered its issuer credit rating
(ICR) on Vertex Energy Inc. to 'CCC' from
'B-' and its issue-level rating on the company's term loan B (TLB)
to 'CCC' from 'B'. At the same time, S&P Global Ratings removed the
ratings from CreditWatch, where they were placed with negative
implications on March 15, 2024. In addition, S&P revised its
assessment of the company's liquidity position to weak from less
than adequate. S&P also revised its recovery rating on the TLB to
'3' from '2', indicating its expectation for meaningful (50%-70%;
rounded estimate: 60%) recovery.

The negative outlook reflects the elevated risk of a default
scenario given the lack of sufficient liquidity sources to fully
repay the TLB or a concrete refinancing plan.


VIASAT INC: Appoints Gary Chase as Chief Financial Officer
----------------------------------------------------------
Viasat, Inc. announced the appointment of Gary Chase as Chief
Financial Officer, effective September 16, 2024. He will succeed
Shawn Duffy, who will remain with Viasat in the role of Chief
Accounting Officer.

Mr. Chase joins Viasat from Delta Air Lines, where he most recently
served as Senior Vice President of Operational Finance and was a
member of the Delta Leadership Committee, a group of top executives
reporting directly to the CEO. During his more than 12-year tenure
at Delta Air Lines, Mr. Chase oversaw a number of important
financial functions, including Financial Planning & Analysis,
Investor Relations, and Corporate Planning, as well as Operational
Finance. Mr. Chase also served as Delta's Chief Strategy Officer.
Prior to joining Delta, Mr. Chase was an Institutional Investor
ranked analyst and Managing Director in equity research at Barclays
Capital and Lehman Brothers in New York, having followed the
airline and transportation industries for 12 years.

"We are thrilled to welcome Gary to Viasat and look forward to
adding his expertise in scaled operational financial systems to
support our growth objectives," said Mark Dankberg, Chairman and
CEO of Viasat. "Gary's extensive operational experience, and his
perspective as a Viasat customer, make him well positioned to
increase financial and operational automation and rigor, and
sharpen our focus on cash generation and Inmarsat integration. He
will play a pivotal financial and business oversight role for
Viasat, with emphasis on data systems architecture and linking
operational and financial metrics, delivering efficiencies, and
optimizing our capital structure to create value for our employees,
customers, and shareholders."

Dankberg continued, "We are also very pleased that Shawn will stay
on in her newly created role. Since becoming CFO in 2014, Viasat's
revenues have more than tripled to $4.5 billion. Her deep
understanding of the industry, as well as our company, make her a
valued member of our executive team, and she'll continue to provide
financial advisory, accounting and reporting, tax strategy and
governance oversight."

"I am excited to join Viasat as its next CFO at such an important
time in the company's history," said Mr. Chase. "I have a
tremendous amount of respect for Viasat's businesses and its global
mission of delivering safety and connectivity to customers in the
air, at sea, and on land. I look forward to partnering with Mark,
Guru, Shawn and the rest of the leadership team to further advance
the finance function and its support for Viasat's strategic
initiatives and shareholder value creation."

In connection with his appointment, Mr. Chase will receive an
annual base salary and an annual target bonus substantially
consistent with that of our Chief Financial Officer position (which
bonus will be prorated for fiscal year 2025). Mr. Chase will also
receive a sign-on bonus in the amount of $475,000. The sign-on
bonus will be subject to repayment in the event of his voluntary
resignation or termination for cause prior to the second
anniversary of his start date (with 50% of the repayment obligation
forgiven on the first anniversary of his start date).

Mr. Chase will also be granted certain equity awards. He will
receive a restricted stock unit award with an approximate value of
$1,250,000 (with the number of restricted stock units determined by
dividing such value by the average closing price of Viasat stock
for the 20 trading days leading up to and including the grant date,
subject to a maximum of 79,875 restricted stock units), which vests
in three equal annual installments beginning on the first
anniversary of the grant date. He will also receive a "sign-on"
restricted stock unit award with an approximate value of $3,000,000
(with the number of restricted stock units determined by dividing
such value by the average closing price of Viasat stock for the 20
trading days leading up to and including the grant date, subject to
a maximum of 191,695 restricted stock units), which vests in three
equal installments on each of February 17, 2025, 2026 and 2027.

Mr. Chase will also receive a performance stock unit award with an
approximate value (at "target" performance levels) of $1,250,000
(with the number of performance stock units determined by dividing
such value by the average closing price of Viasat stock for the 20
trading days leading up to and including the grant date, multiplied
by a Monte Carlo valuation adjustment factor, subject to a maximum
of 60,510 performance stock units at "target"). The performance
stock units vest in part upon Mr. Chase's continued service with
Viasat, and in part on Viasat's performance over a three-year
period based on Viasat's total shareholder return ("TSR") relative
to the TSR of the companies in the Russell 3000 Index over such
three-year period. The number of performance stock units that will
ultimately become vested and exercisable at the end of the
three-year performance period will range from 0% to 175% of the
target number of units based on Viasat's performance for such
period.

Furthermore, Mr. Chase and Viasat have entered into a Severance
Agreement and a Change in Control Severance Agreement. The Change
in Control Severance Agreement entered into with Mr. Chase is in
the form previously entered into by Viasat with each of its
executive officers.

Pursuant to the Severance Agreement, in the event that Mr. Chase's
employment is terminated by Viasat without "cause" or by Mr. Chase
with "good reason", in either case, outside of the Change in
Control Period, he will receive (i) a lump sum cash payment equal
to his annual base salary plus his target annual bonus, (ii)
continuation of health and other benefits for a period of 18 months
following the date of his termination, and (iii) accelerated
vesting of any outstanding equity awards that would have vested in
accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreements during
the 12 months following the date of his termination.

Pursuant to the Change in Control Severance Agreement, in the event
that Mr. Chase's employment is terminated by Viasat without "cause"
or Mr. Chase resigns for "good reason," in either case, within the
two months prior to or 18 months following a "change in control" of
Viasat, Mr. Chase shall be entitled to receive (i) a lump sum cash
payment equal to 2.0 times the sum of his annual base salary and
target annual bonus, (ii) continuation of health and other benefits
for a period of 18 months following the date of his termination,
and (iii) full vesting of any outstanding equity awards.

Additionally, Mr. Chase and Viasat have entered into Viasat's
customary indemnification agreement, in which Viasat has agreed to
indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, Mr. Chase to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

VICTRA HOLDINGS: S&P Upgrades ICR to 'B+' on Debt Refinancing
-------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings raised its issuer credit rating on U.S.-based
Victra Holdings LLC to 'B+' from 'B'. At the same time, S&P
assigned a 'B+' issue-level rating to the company's repriced $734
million term loan, which includes a $150 million fungible add-on,
and its new $165 million revolving credit facility (RCF), with a
recovery rating of '3' (50%-70%; rounded estimate: 60%). S&P views
all the senior secured debt as pari passu.

The stable outlook reflects S&P's expectation that Victra will
maintain steady operating performance, supporting positive free
operating cash flow (FOCF) generation and S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted leverage sustained below 4x over the next 12
months.

S&P said, "The upgrade reflects our view that Victra's proposed
financing successfully addresses its near-term refinancing risk
while deploying cash toward modest debt reduction. Victra is
repricing its $584 million term loan while upsizing it with a $150
million fungible add-on, bringing the term loan amount to $734
million due 2029. Additionally, it is refinancing its $115 million
asset-based lending (ABL) facility and its $728 million senior
secured notes with the issuance of a new $165 million cash flow RCF
($50 million drawn at close) and $500 million of additional
expected senior secured debt. We view this as modestly beneficial
to its leverage. We expect the repricing of its term loan will
offer modest savings to its interest cost burden of $5 million-$10
million, further supporting cash flow.

"Additionally, with our expectation for solid cash flow generation,
we anticipate the company will likely use its internally generated
cash flow to pay down amounts outstanding under its new RCF. Pro
forma to the transaction, Victra will no longer have any near-term
debt maturities, and we expect its debt balances to remain largely
unchanged absent a moderate level of contractual term loan
amortization payments over the next 12-24 months.

"We expect Victra's S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage will be
roughly 3.9x in 2024, improving modestly to about 3.7x in 2025,
supported by increasing EBITDA and debt paydown. We forecast the
company will generate S&P Global Ratings-adjusted EBITDA of $360
million-$370 million in 2024 and $375 million-$385 million in 2025
as it benefits from increased box counts, gross profit per
activations, and incremental smartphone upgrades. Additionally, we
believe Victra's 5% annual amortization payments on its $734
million term loan facility will naturally improve leverage. We
anticipate the company will continue to implement organic growth
initiatives and prioritize further deleveraging.

"We do not expect future large debt-funded acquisitions or
dividends and forecast the company will prioritize debt repayment
until meeting its deleveraging target of 3.5x. After this, we
believe Victra will likely use cash flow from operations to fund
growth and shareholder dividends. As such, we forecast the
company's S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage will improve to 3.9x
for fiscal year 2024 and 3.7x for fiscal year 2025. This is due to
our expectation for revenue expansion in the 2%-4% range, healthy
EBITDA generation, and moderate debt amortization payments.

"In our opinion, the company has demonstrated a track record and a
willingness to reduce its total debt. Over the last eighteen months
ended June 2024, Victra has repurchased approximately $120 million
(net) of its outstanding debt, further backing our belief that its
financial policy is supportive of our leverage expectations.

"We expect Victra's steady profitability metrics and consistent
capital expenditures will likely strengthen FOCF generation over
the next 12 months. We project Victra will generate FOCF of $105
million-$110 million this year after capital expenditure (capex) of
about $40 million annually, with the bulk of expenditures going
toward new store developments, maintenance costs, and technology
upgrades. We believe the operating pressures from recent years will
be less meaningful in 2025 and 2026, including a lengthening
financing schedule (two years to three years) and less attractive
innovations in new phones. We believe expected new AI features
could help drive more upgrades starting this fall.

"However, in our view, the most significant risks to operating
results in the near term are greater-than-expected competition or a
further decline in customer traffic levels, potentially due to
prolonged weak consumer spending. Additionally, we incorporate some
risk from the potential mismatch of economic conditions with the
underlying terms of its contract with Verizon. In our opinion,
while Verizon has been supportive in the past, a weakening economic
environment without incremental support from Verizon could impact
Victra's profitability and potentially weaken our expectations for
cash flow generation.

"Partly mitigating these risks is our expectation that an economic
slowdown will have a greater effect on lower earners, so we believe
Verizon stores will perform better than peers given its higher-end
customer. We continue to expect U.S. consumers will prioritize
their phones and service plans even in an economic downturn and
that phones have a limited useful life due to increasing demands on
processing power and battery life.

"The stable outlook reflects our expectation that Victra will
maintain steady operating performance, supporting positive FOCF
generation and S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage of 3x-4x
(likely in the higher half of the range) over the next 12 months."

S&P could lower its rating if:

-- Victra's credit metrics deteriorate, including S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted leverage approaching 4.5x; or

-- If operating performance is pressured, possibly due to a weaker
economic environment that leads to reduced spending, heightened
competition, or a mismatch in the Verizon contract, ultimately
weakening FOCF generation.

Although unlikely, S&P could raise its rating if:

-- Victra's operating performance improves well above S&P's base
case, while also expanding its scale and diversity meaningfully;
and

-- The company demonstrates a track record of a more conservative
financial policy such that S&P expects it will sustain S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted leverage below 3.5x.



VINTAGE WINE: Gets Court Okay to Sell 5 Wine Brands
---------------------------------------------------
Dorothy Ma of Bloomberg Law reports that bankrupt California-based
vintner Vintage Wine Estates Inc. won court approval to sell five
wine brands, including Bar Dog and Cherry Pie, to billionaire Bill
Foley's wine company.

US Bankruptcy Judge Mary Walrath said Tuesday, August 20, 2024
she'd allow the sale of the brands to Foley Family Wines Inc. for
$15 million. The buyer owns more than 25 wineries and distilleries,
in locations as diverse as New Zealand and Scotland, according to
the company's website.

Foley's offer came in the form of a stalking horse bid, meaning
it's subject to better offers should any materialize in the coming
weeks, Bloomberg Law reports.

VYAIRE MEDICAL: Trudell Medical Buys RDx Diagnostic Unit Amid Ch.11
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Ross Law of Global Data reports that Canadian device firm Trudell
Medical has announced that it has reached an agreement to acquire
Vyaire Medical's respiratory diagnostics (RDx) arm following
Vyaire's initiation of Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings.

Subject to court approval, the deal is expected to close in the
coming weeks, expanding Trudell's existing portfolio of aerosol
drug delivery and lung health devices to include Vyaire's range of
respiratory diagnostics.

Trudell Medical revealed it will operate RDx as a separate business
unit and maintain operations in Germany and California. Financial
terms of the deal have not been disclosed.

Trudell Medical subsidiary, Trudell Healthcare Solutions, currently
serves as the distributor of Vyaire's respiratory diagnostics and
ventilation devices within Canada’s healthcare system.

Vyaire RDx CEO Will Throp said: "Trudell has been an outstanding
distribution partner for Vyaire RDx in Canada. This
well-established relationship serves as a firm foundation for
Vyaire RDx to become part of the Trudell family."

Vyaire filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the US on 10
June 2024. The troubled company said the decision followed
"below-plan" performance in the first half of its financial year, a
reality that "frustrated efforts" to refinance company debt.

Following the bankruptcy announcement, Vyaire's group CEO John Bibb
said: "Chapter 11 protection will offer us the breathing room we
need to explore selling our businesses to capable, well-financed
buyers that have the financial ability and stability to execute on
the respiratory diagnostics and ventilation business strategies
delivering our vital products to customers and patients in need."

In the months leading up to the bankruptcy announcement, the US
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) tagged Vyaire's AirLife manual
resuscitator device and Twin Tube sample lines in the company's
cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) with Class I recalls. This
most serious category of recall means that continued use of a
tagged device could result in serious injury or death. The AirLife
manual resuscitator recall covered over six and a half million
devices, including nine products from Vyaire's AirLife range, while
the Twin Tube sample lines tag triggered the recall of 649 of
Vyaire's CPETs in the US.

A report by GlobalData valued the global anaesthesia and
respiratory devices market at $12.7bn in 2023 and estimates it will
grow to just more than $19bn by 2033.

Trudell's acquisition follows the announcement earlier this week
from US cardiac care company ZOLL that it had successfully won its
bid to acquire Vyaire's ventilator business.

"Trudell Medical acquires Vyaire's RDx diagnostics arm amid Chapter
11 bankruptcy" was originally created and published by Medical
Device Network, a GlobalData owned brand.

ZION OIL: Extends Unit Option Program to October 2024
-----------------------------------------------------
Zion Oil & Gas, Inc. disclosed in a Form 8-K Report filed with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that the Company filed with
the SEC Amendment No. 11 to the Prospectus Supplement dated as of
December 15, 2021 and accompanying base prospectus dated December
1, 2021 relating to the Company's Dividend Reinvestment and Direct
Stock Purchase Plan. The Prospectus forms a part of the Company's
Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-261452), as
amended, which was declared effective by the SEC on December 15,
2021.

An Amendment No. 11 to the Prospectus Supplement is being filed on
August 22, 2024. This Amendment No. 11 to Prospectus Supplement
amends the Prospectus Supplement. This Amendment No. 11 to
Prospectus Supplement should be read in conjunction with the
Original Prospectus Supplement, the base Prospectus and Amendment
No. 1 and Amendment No. 4. This Amendment No.11 is incorporated by
reference into the Original Prospectus Supplement. This Amendment
No. 11 is not complete without and may not be delivered or utilized
except in connection with, the Original Prospectus Supplement,
including any amendments or supplements thereto.

Amendment No. 11 – Continuation of Unit Option under the Unit
Program

Under Zion Oil's Dividend Reinvestment and Common Stock Purchase
Plan, it is extending the current Unit Option under its Unit
Program with this Amendment No. 11, dated August 22, 2024. This
Unit Option period began on November 6, 2023 and now terminates on
October 15, 2024, instead of August 31, 2024.

Zion Oil's Unit Program consists of the combination of Common Stock
and warrants with basic Unit Program features, conditions and terms
outlined in the Original Prospectus Supplement and Amendment No. 1
and Amendment No. 4. Amendment No. 4 provides the unit price and
the determination of the number of shares of Common Stock and
warrants per unit. The Unit Option consists of Units of its
securities where each Unit (priced at $250.00 each) is comprised of
(i) a certain number of shares of Common Stock determined by
dividing $250.00 (the price of one Unit) by the average of the high
and low sale prices of the Company's publicly traded common stock
as reported on the OTC Markets on the Unit Purchase Date and (ii)
Common Stock purchase warrants to purchase an additional fifty (50)
shares of Common Stock at a per share exercise price of $0.25. The
participant's Plan account will be credited with the number of
shares of the Company's Common Stock and Warrants that are acquired
under the Units purchased. Each warrant affords the participant the
opportunity to purchase one share of our Common Stock at a warrant
exercise price of $0.25. The warrant shall have the Company
notation of "ZNWBA" and will not be registered for trading on the
OTC Markets or any other stock market or trading market.

Plan participants, who enroll into the Unit Program with the
purchase of at least one Unit and enroll in the separate Automatic
Monthly Investments program at a minimum of $50.00 per month, will
receive an additional fifty (50) warrants at an exercise price of
$0.25 during this Unit Option Program. The fifty (50) additional
warrants are for enrolling into the AMI program and shall receive
the above warrant with the Company notation of "ZNWBA." Existing
subscribers to the AMI are entitled to the additional 50 warrants,
if they purchase at least one Unit during the Unit program.

The ZNWBA warrants will become exercisable on November 15, 2024 and
continue to be exercisable through November 14, 2025, unless
extended, at a per share exercise price of $0.25.

Checks, bank wire payments, or electronic bank payments for
purchases received by the Plan Agent, or at the offices of the
Company, before 4 p.m. (EST) on a business day generally will be
recorded as purchased on the same business day. Checks, bank wire
payments, or electronic bank payments for purchases received by the
Plan Agent, or at the offices of Company, after 4 p.m. (EST) on a
business day generally will be recorded as purchased on the next
business day for the Purchase Date. Electronic bank payments are
treated as received and recorded on the date of receipt of the
funds into the Plan Agent's or the Company's bank account. Under
the AMI program, all optional cash payments will be invested in our
Common Stock on the 20th day of each calendar month and if such day
falls on a holiday or a weekend, then on the next trading day.

Accordingly, all references in the Original Prospectus Supplement
concerning the Unit Option Program continue, except for the
substitution of the Unit Option Program details under Amendment No.
11and the prior Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 4. All other Plan
features, conditions and terms remain unchanged.

[*] Healthcare Bankruptcies Dipped 2nd Quarter of 2024
------------------------------------------------------
Cassie McGrath of Healthcare Brew reports that in recent months,
the financial downfall and bankruptcy of Steward Health Care has
dominated the news. But aside from Steward, Chapter 11 filings are
less prominent, though the industry is still facing financial
headwinds.

An August 14, 2024 report by Gibbins Advisors, a healthcare
restructuring advisory firm, analyzed Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases
among medical industry companies with more than $10 million in
liabilities from the beginning of January 2019 to the end of June
2024.

Researchers found that while there was a sharp rise in bankruptcies
in Q3 2023, the number of filings has decreased in the following
three quarters through Q2 2024.

So far, there have been 58 cases filed in 2024. Compared to the 79
cases filed in 2023, 2024 is on track to see a 27% overall decline
in bankruptcy filings, according to the report.

Size matters. The decline in filings, researchers reported, is due
to the bankruptcy filing activity among middle-market
companies—companies with liabilities ranging from $10 million to
$100 million—which is currently 33% lower in 2024 than last year.
However, bankruptcy filings from large healthcare companies, with
liabilities over $500 million, remain as high as 2023 and are on
track to report 12 bankruptcies, the report found.

Senior care and pharmaceutical companies were the top two
subsectors, making up 26 of the 58 bankruptcy filings in
healthcare. However, the report also pointed to a rise in filings
from clinics and physician practices, which are 60% higher in 2024
to date, and medical equipment companies, which have already had
eight bankruptcies compared to seven last year.

Of all the healthcare bankruptcies over the last five years, about
45% were filed by privately held debtors (excluding private equity
[PE]-backed companies). Some 24% were filed by publicly traded
companies, 17% by nonprofits, and 14% by PE-backed companies.

What does it all mean? Clare Moylan, co-founder and principal at
Gibbins Advisors said in a press release last week that while there
has been a decline in bankruptcies, the healthcare industry is
still experiencing financial stress.

"We wouldn't be surprised if the case volumes increased from
current levels as the year progresses," she said.

In the release, Gibbins Advisors pointed to continued high interest
rates, antitrust scrutiny from state regulators and the Federal
Trade Commission, cost increases, and labor shortages as some of
the financial challenges the industry is facing.

"We are seeing elevated financial distress in nursing homes, senior
living, pharmacy, physician practices, and rural and standalone
hospitals…strained by legacy debts, cash shortages, and
profitability challenges," Ronald Winters, co-founder and principal
at Gibbins Advisors, said in the release.


[*] Healthcare Industry Bankruptcy Filings Decline in 2024
----------------------------------------------------------
Anastassia Gliadkovskaya of Fierce Healthcare reports that
Healthcare bankruptcy filings slow in 2024, largely driven by
middle-market companies, analysis finds.

Healthcare bankruptcy filings have slowed over the past three
quarters, according to a new analysis by healthcare restructuring
advisory firm Gibbins Advisors.

The report analyzed healthcare sector Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings
from 2019 through mid-2024 for companies with more than $10 million
in liabilities. The cases were also analyzed by ownership type
around the time of filing, including private equity, privately
held, publicly traded or nonprofit.

After bankruptcy filings increased over 10 consecutive quarters to
a spike in the third quarter of 2023, they have slowed in 2024. In
2023, 79 cases were filed, while 2024 is on track to see 58 cases
based on the current run rate. That would come out to a decline of
27%.


The decline in case volumes is largely driven by middle-market
companies, which the report defined as those with liabilities
between $10 million and $100 million. The filings of very large
companies, like with liabilities exceeding $500 million,
nonetheless remain at the elevated levels seen in 2023.

Though this decline appears to be a good sign, the report noted,
financial challenges in the sector still persist. The report does
not include restructuring efforts taking place outside of a
bankruptcy filing, for instance.

"The trend of lower bankruptcy volumes is not resonating with the
amount of financial distress we are seeing in our practice," Clare
Moylan, principal at Gibbins Advisors, said in a press release. "A
possible reason could be financial restructuring taking place out
of court rather than in bankruptcy. We wouldn't be surprised if the
case volumes increased from current levels as the year
progresses."

Drivers of financial headwinds cited in the report include high
interest rates affecting capital markets, heightened antitrust
scrutiny, cost hikes and labor shortages. Others include stagnating
payer rate increases, Medicare Advantage denials and Medicaid
enrollment disruptions. Care continues to shift beyond the
institutional setting, implicating many providers’ business
models while presenting an opportunity for others. And though some
hospitals' margins are improving, the gap between higher and lower
performers—such as smaller and rural providers—is widening.

Specific subsectors appear more hard-hit by bankruptcies than
others. Senior care and pharmaceuticals comprise nearly half of all
filings, the report found. And filings from clinics and physician
practices have surged, trending 60% higher this year so far.
Medical equipment bankruptcies have been on a steady upward
trajectory since 2021. And one health system—Steward Health
Care—recently filed for bankruptcy, the report highlighted.

Over the past five years, nearly half of all healthcare bankruptcy
filings were privately held debtors. A quarter were publicly
traded, less than a fifth were nonprofit and 14% were PE-backed.
Nonprofit cases focused on senior care and hospitals. PE-backed
bankruptcies saw the highest concentration in medical equipment and
supplies.


[*] U.S. Casual Dining Chain Bankruptcies on the Rise in 2024
-------------------------------------------------------------
Alex Wolf of Bloomberg Law reports that America's casual dining
chain restaurants, struggling with operational costs and changing
consumer habits, are rapidly going bankrupt in last-ditch efforts
to rightsize or sell themselves to opportunistic investors, reports
Bloomberg Law.

The Chapter 11 filing in May by Red Lobster may be the most
spectacular restaurant collapse of 2024, but the iconic seafood
chain is just one of several brands forced into bankruptcy this
2023 due to unsustainable debt and bloated operations. The trend
continued earlier this month as Italian eatery Buca di Beppo and
craft-beer focused chain World of Beer sought refuge in
bankruptcy.

For many, the goal is to use the debt payment breathing spell
afforded by Chapter 11 to close unprofitable locations and rework a
number of vendor contracts to save money. Several are also using
bankruptcy to finalize a changeover in ownership or solicit offers
to buy the business at a discount.

In court filings, the bankrupt brands all say they've failed to
make ends meet in the face of industrywide difficulties, including
rising costs for food and labor and shrinking consumer demand. The
Covid-19 pandemic is often cited as the genesis of despair, as many
restaurants have struggled to adapt to changing consumer behavior,
like spikes in delivery or takeout orders and diminished weekday
lunch crowds.

Plus, pandemic-era guardrails have been removed and price-conscious
consumers have shunned dining out due to higher costs. Even fast
food brands are deploying value meal deals to reel customers back
amid inflationary pressures.

"There's an impending bust that's on the way," said restaurant
industry consultant Aaron Allen, head of Aaron Allen & Associates.
"We're getting more and more calls these days for folks who need
turnarounds."

The cases illustrate not only how a global event affected a
consumer market, but also how an entire industry is reckoning with
broad, lasting changes.

"This is kind of a convergence of things," Allen said. "There's
going to be a reconfiguration of the industry that will emerge out
of this in the next two or three years."

                     Eyeing Opportunities

Pushed to the brink, restaurateurs like Mod Pizza -- a fast casual
chain with more than 500 locations across the country -- have inked
buyout deals before ending up in bankruptcy court.  In other cases,
Chapter 11 is being used to facilitate a business handoff to
investment firms that acquired substantial amounts of the company's
secured debt.

Red Lobster is moving forward with a deal that will see Fortress
Investment Group take over the business by exchanging secured debt.
Buca di Beppo also asked for court permission to launch a sale
process with a starting offer from Main Street Capital Corp. to
purchase the business via a debt swap.

One Table Restaurant Brands LLC, the operator of California-based
Mexican chain Tocaya and salad concept chain Tender Greens, has
similarly moved to hold an auction with lender Breakwater
Management LP in the catbird seat holding more than $30 million in
secured debt.

"There's a lot of money on the sidelines," said Los Angeles-based
bankruptcy attorney Howard Ehrenberg of Greenspoon Marder LLP.
"Smart people are figuring out if they invest in this and
restructure, and redecorate and change the menu, can they make a go
of it? Maybe they can."

Rubio's Restaurants Inc. completed a transaction in Chapter 11 this
month, in which the fish taco chain sold the bulk of its operations
and business to an affiliate of TREW Capital Management Private
Credit LLC for $40 million. Run by Jeff Crivello, the former CEO of
barbecue restaurant chain Famous Dave's, TREW Capital purchased
Rubio's debt in March as the company was preparing to file for
Chapter 11.

"Certainly there are brands that are stronger than others,"
Crivello told Bloomberg Law. "You wait for a patient who's usually
healthy to be on the operating table to make an investment."

                         'New Normal'

A number of large restaurant brands like California Pizza Kitchen
and Le Pain Quotidien filed for bankruptcy at the height of the
pandemic, but the vast majority limped along hoping that business
would return to normal before government relief dried up.

With the backing of landlords that couldn't quickly find new
tenants and lenders that didn't want to take over their businesses,
operators were largely spared.

"Some companies filed during Covid but there was definitely a trend
of kicking the can down the road," said Mette H. Kurth, chair of
Culhane PLLC's bankruptcy practice. "Mid-Covid nobody was going to
buy it."

Government assistance and creditor patience has since waned.
Consumer demand in many respects has also not returned.

One Table noted upon filing for Chapter 11 in July that the ripple
effects of the pandemic have devastated its businesses, "as they no
longer enjoy the same volume of lunch-time workers as they did
pre-pandemic."

The operator of New York-area restaurant chain Sticky's Finger
Joint told a Delaware bankruptcy judge in April that it has
similarly seen reduced workday lunch crowds and has had trouble
adjusting to "the 'new normal' of shorter work weeks for employees
who previously commuted to work in New York City five days a
week."

Kurth, who last 2023 guided fast casual chain Corner Bakery into
Chapter 11 and through a bankruptcy sale process to SSCP
Management, said rising debts and interest rates—coupled with
inflationary effects on food prices and worker wage costs—have
made it "very difficult for these companies to keep their doors
open."

The problems are acute in California, which in April raised the
minimum wage for fast food workers to $20 an hour.

"The restaurants have record levels of debt," Allen said. "We
expect to see an acceleration of bankruptcies in the fourth quarter
and into 2025."

                         Rightsizing

Bankruptcy court can also help chains with a glut of unprofitable
locations.

"Bankruptcy is the function of capitalism that helps cleanse the
business of locations that aren't working," said Crivello, whose
firm purchased 86 of the 150 restaurants that Rubio's once
operated. "There's always a buyer for a small portfolio of
restaurants."

Chains that went bankrupt this year looked to rip up lease
agreements at locations that were shuttered before they filed. Some
also left the door open for additional closures or lease payment
reductions.

Widespread mismatches of location-by-location costs and revenues
don’t mean any particular chain will be forced out of business
for good, Ehrenberg said, but smaller physical footprints are a
likely result.

"It seems like the entire industry has to rightsize," he said. "So
underperforming locations have to go."

Figuring out a profitable version of a once-successful,
now-distressed restaurant chain is particularly complicated given
the economic climate and shift in consumer habits, Allen said.
Restructuring analyses must consider restaurant categories and
competition, changing geographical markets, debt levels, and the
story behind a brand, the consultant said.

"It's a really nuanced view that's required," he said. "There's
going to be a new ecosystem that gets created out of this, most
likely."


[] Tampa Bay Filings Continue to Hike from January to July
----------------------------------------------------------
Christina Georgacopoulos of Tampa Bay Business Journal reports that
business bankruptcy filings in Tampa Bay are continuing their
upward trend after surging past pre-pandemic levels earlier this
2024.

Between January and July, roughly 12,100 bankruptcies were filed
versus 9,200 during the same period last year and 8,300 in 2022,
according to the Middle District of Florida bankruptcy court.

The number of Chapter 11 bankruptcies, in particular, was 85%
higher between January and July this year than the same period in
2023. Last year, Chapter 11 bankruptcies in Florida reached a
decade high.

Nationally, Chapter 11 cases last month rose 40% year over year,
according to the American Bankruptcy Institute. In June, a
"historic" surge pushed U.S. corporate bankruptcies to the highest
volume recorded since the start of 2020, according to S&P Global
Market Intelligence. Higher-for-longer interest rates, rising costs
and a slowdown in consumer spending have accelerated the pace of
filings during the first half of 2024, according to S&P.

Locally, several well-known Tampa Bay companies have filed for
bankruptcy in the last two months.

"This step is a strategic move to realign our operations, reduce
debt and enhance our financial flexibility." World of Beer
President and CEO Paul Avery said in early August.

In July, Tampa furniture retail brand W.S. Badcock said it would
lay off its entire workforce and wind down operations as its parent
company, Houston-based Conn's Inc., navigates a potential
full-chain liquidation in Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Conn’s, which
had $1.95 billion in debt at the time of the filing, acquired
Badcock in December 2023.

Tampa craft beer bar and restaurant World of Beer also filed for
Chapter 11 earlier this month, citing inflation, rising operating
costs and a slow return to pre-pandemic dining habits. WOB had
scores of restaurants across the U.S. at its height but has closed
most of those locations, including 14 over the 12 months prior to
the bankruptcy filing.
