AEMETIS INC: KPMG In, RSM Out as Independent Auditor for FY 2026
----------------------------------------------------------------
Aemetis, Inc. disclosed in a regulatory filing that the Audit
Committee of the Board of Directors approved the engagement of KPMG
LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm,
beginning with the review of the Company's financial statements for
the quarter ending March 31, 2026, and including the audit of the
Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year
ending December 31, 2026. The engagement of KPMG is subject to the
execution of an engagement letter.
Following the engagement of KPMG LLP, the Audit Committee also
dismissed RSM US LLP as the Company's independent registered public
accounting firm, effective after the completion of its audit for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and related non-audit
services. RSM served as the Company's independent registered public
accounting firm since 2012.
The audit reports of RSM on the Company's consolidated financial
statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025, and
December 31, 2024, did not contain an adverse opinion or a
disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that
RSM's report for each of the two fiscal years ended December 31,
2025, and December 31, 2024, contained an explanatory paragraph
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
During the Company's fiscal years ended December 31, 2025, and
December 31, 2024, and the subsequent interim period through March
10, 2026, there were no:
(i) disagreements, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of
Regulation S‑K and the related instructions to Item 304, with RSM
on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures that, if not
resolved to the satisfaction of RSM, would have caused RSM to make
reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in its
reports, or
(ii) reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of
Regulation S‑K and the related instructions to Item 304, except
for the material weaknesses in internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2024, that were previously disclosed
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2024. The Audit Committee has discussed the subject
matter of the material weaknesses with RSM, and the Company has
authorized RSM to respond fully to the inquiries of KPMG concerning
them.
During the Company's fiscal years ended December 31, 2025, and
December 31, 2024, and the subsequent interim period through March
10, 2026, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf
consulted with KPMG regarding:
(i) the application of accounting principles to a specified
transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit
opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial
statements, and either a written report or oral advice was provided
to the Company that KPMG concluded was an important factor
considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the
accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or
(ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or
reportable event, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and Item
304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S‑K.

Des Moines, Iowa-based RSM US LLP, the Company's auditor since
2012, issued a "going concern" qualification in its report dated
March 13, 2026, attached to the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended Decemeber 31, 2025, citing that the Company
has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital
deficiency. This raises substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $259.8 million in total
assets, $371.3 million in total current liabilities, $195.4 million
in total long-term liabilities, and total stockholders' deficit of
$306.8 million.
AEMETIS INC: Posts $77MM Loss in 2025, Capital Deficiency Persists
------------------------------------------------------------------
Aemetis, Inc. filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2025. The Company does not currently, and historically
have not typically, generated profits or positive cash flow.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of
approximately $639.9 million.
For its fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, it reported
a net loss of $77.0 million and $87.5 million respectively. For the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded
a total revenue of $197.6 million and $267.6 million,
respectively.
Des Moines, Iowa-based RSM US LLP, the Company's auditor since
2012, issued a "going concern" qualification in its report dated
March 13, 2026, attached to the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended Decemeber 31, 2025, citing that the Company
has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital
deficiency. This raises substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company may continue to incur losses for an indeterminate
period of time and may not achieve consistent profitability.
According to the Company, it historically relied upon cash from
debt and equity financing activities to fund the cash it needs that
exceeds cash from operations.
Going forward, the Company expects to rely on cash on hand, cash
generated from our operations, borrowings, if available, and
proceeds from other future financing activities, if any, to fund
the cash requirements of its business. In some market environments,
the Company may have limited access to incremental financing, which
could defer or cancel growth projects, reduce business activity or
cause it to default on its existing debt agreements if it is unable
to meet its payment schedules. An extended period of losses or
negative cash flow may prevent the Company from successfully
operating and expanding its business.

APLD COMPUTECO 2: Fitch Assigns 'BB-' LongTerm IDR, Outlook Stable
------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned APLD ComputeCo 2 LLC a 'BB-' Long-Term
Issuer Default Rating (IDR). Fitch has also assigned the company's
$2.15 billion senior secured notes a 'BB-' rating. The Rating
Outlook is Stable.
The rating for the notes funding APLD ComputeCo 2's 200 MW data
center in North Dakota reflects completion and operating risks. The
project is in early construction, with exposure to some cost
escalation and contractors with modest experience. The schedule is
tight, with punitive rent credits, and a tenant termination right
for delays beyond 150 days. Mitigants include adequate buffer for
cost escalations, locked-in equipment pricing, and the lender's
technical advisor's view that the schedule is achievable. The power
substation has yet to be built, and delays could affect revenue. In
operation, the project has no lease renewal risk, and its financial
profile aligns with the rating. The IDR matches the debt ratings,
reflecting senior ranking and no material subordinated
liabilities.
KEY RATING DRIVERS
Completion Risk - Weaker
Simple Construction, Limited Liquidity
The assessment reflects risks from modest contractor experience, a
tight implementation schedule, and limited liquidity because of
stringent rent credits for construction delays. The developer,
Applied Digital, has a strong track record with the core and shell
contractor, Century Builders, but A&P, the core and shell and
fit-out contractor, has limited experience with 100 MW-plus data
centers, which raises execution risks.
The guaranteed maximum price (GMP) is fully locked in for FAR-01
but not for FAR-02, exposing the project to cost escalation;
however, FAR-02 is smaller (50 MW), is expected to replicate
FAR-01's design, and its GMP is expected by April 2026. The project
budget is viewed as reasonable and about 82% of total costs are
currently known. The LTA finds the tight schedule achievable, and
permitting and geotechnical issues are manageable.
Supply Risk - Weaker
No Electric Service Agreement; Escrowed Funds
The project requires 280 MW from a new substation and an upgraded
345 kV transmission line with Minnkota Power Cooperative
(BBB+/Negative) and Cass County Electric Cooperative. Applied
Digital has secured all long-lead equipment, though schedule risk
remains due to limited visibility into construction timelines. An
electric service agreement (ESA) has not been executed, but note
proceeds are escrowed until the ESA is executed, which reduces this
risk. The expected ESA term is six years which creates renewal and
price risk. The tenant bears power price risk through pass-through
provisions.
Revenue Risk - Stronger
No Lease Renewal Risk
The project's cash flows are fully contracted under a 15-year lease
with an Oracle subsidiary, guaranteed by Oracle Corporation
(BBB/Stable), with two five-year extension options. The cash flows
during the 15-year initial lease term are sufficient to repay the
debt under Fitch's rating case assumptions, eliminating renewal
risk. Despite less-favorable latency in North Dakota, the strong
hyperscaler tenant and lack of lease renewal risk support the
assessment.
Operation Risk - Midrange
Stringent SLAs with Termination Rights
The lease is a modified gross plus electricity (MG + E) structure,
passing electricity costs to the tenant and reducing cost risk for
the project. Stringent performance standards for power,
temperature, humidity, and air quality entitle the tenant to
uncapped service credits, up to 100% of monthly rent, for service
interruptions. The tenant may also terminate leases for chronic
outages. These risks are mitigated by system redundancies,
including an N+1 backup generator.
Infrastructure Development & Obsolescence Risk - Neutral
New Building with Minimal Maintenance
As debt can fully amortize during the initial 15-year lease under
Fitch's rating case assumptions, technological obsolescence risk is
limited. The newly built data centers' mechanical and electrical
components are expected to outlast the initial lease term,
minimizing capital needs. Fitch anticipates only minor later-year
capex, mainly for battery replacement.
Debt Structure - 1 - Weaker
Refinance Risk, No Additional Debt
The notes are secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all
project assets, contracts, and cash flows, except interconnection
capacity above 50 MW for FAR-02 and related revenue. A $148 million
debt service reserve account (DSRA) is funded at closing with
additional funded interest through completion of FAR-01 phase 1.
The project is exposed to refinance and interest rate risk in
2031.
The issuer and subsidiary guarantors operate as special purpose
entities with covenants restricting material additional debt, and
commingling funds with the parent, reflecting project finance
protections. Joint ventures and M&A are permitted but they cannot
include secured debt. The restricted payments test is weak because
it does not include a DSCR test.
Peer Analysis
The closest peers are APLD ComputeCo LLC (BB-/Stable) and Cipher
Compute LLC (BB-/Stable). Like Cipher Compute, APLD ComputeCo 2
faces elevated completion risk due to early construction and tight
timelines. APLD Compute Co's rating is constrained by debt-raising
flexibility and counterparty credit risk, whereas APLD ComputeCo 2
benefits from a strong counterparty and lacks such flexibility.
APLD ComputeCo and Cipher have stronger financial profiles than
APLD ComputeCo 2.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Negative
Rating Action/Downgrade
- Construction delays for any phases that exceed allowable times
indicated in the lease terms, leading to potential tenant
termination or rent credits;
- Delays in signing the ESA or in substation construction that
delay revenue generation for the project or risk potential tenant
termination;
- Weakened liquidity during the construction phase that leaves
limited headroom to absorb operational underperformance during the
operating phase could lead to a rating downgrade;
- Degradation of the financial performance, leading to sustained
DSCR or PLCR below 1.13x.
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Positive
Rating Action/Upgrade
- An upgrade up to the initial maturity of the notes is unlikely
due to the low DSCR during the initial years.
Financial Profile
Fitch's base and rating cases assess project cash flows over the
initial lease term and refinancing in year five. The base case
assumes 3% annual operating expense growth, a 5% stress to
expenses, and an 8% refinancing rate. The rating case is identical
except for a 10% stress to expenses. Fitch's rating case results in
a PLCR of 1.19x at refinancing, an average DSCR of 1.02x
(2027-2030) through note maturity, and average DSCR of 1.14x
(2027-2041) over the initial lease term, supported by a $148
million DSRA that provides cushion to absorb further cost
escalations or SLA penalties.
TRANSACTION SUMMARY
$2.15 billion in senior secured notes are issued to fund the
project with an 80% debt-to-cost ratio, with $537 million in equity
funded at close. Additionally, the notes were issued at a discount,
and Applied Digital funded the resulting shortfall at financial
close.
SECURITY
First-priority liens over substantially all assets of the issuer
and the subsidiary guarantors.
Date of Relevant Committee
02-Mar-2026
Climate Vulnerability Signals
The results of its Climate.VS screener did not indicate an elevated
risk for APLD ComputeCo 2 LLC.
ESG Considerations
The highest level of ESG credit relevance is a score of '3', unless
otherwise disclosed in this section. A score of '3' means ESG
issues are credit-neutral or have only a minimal credit impact on
the entity, either due to their nature or the way in which they are
being managed by the entity. Fitch's ESG Relevance Scores are not
inputs in the rating process; they are an observation on the
relevance and materiality of ESG factors in the rating decision.

ATARA BIOTHERAPEUTICS: Posts $32.7M 2025 Income; Seeks More Capital
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Atara Biotherapeutics, Inc. filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its Annual Report on Form 10-K reporting a net
income of $32.7 million for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2025, compared to a net loss of $85.4 million for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2024.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company
recorded a total revenue of $120.8 million and $128.9 million,
respectively.
The Company has experienced negative cash flows from operations and
with the exception of the year ended December 31, 2025, have also
incurred substantial operating losses since inception.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had total cash and cash
equivalents of $8.5 million.
The Company expects that its existing cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments as of December 31, 2025, will not be
sufficient to fund planned operations for at least the next 12
months.
San Francisco, Calif.-based Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Company's
auditor since 2013, issued a "going concern" qualification in its
report dated March 16, 2026, attached to the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Decemeber 31, 2025, citing
that Company's negative cash flow from operations and losses from
operations raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue
as a going concern.
Management Plans
To alleviate the conditions that raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern, the Company plans
to secure additional capital, potentially through a combination of
public or private security offerings; use of its ATM facility;
issuance of debt; and/or execution of strategic transactions. The
Company may need to raise additional funding as required based on
the status of our candidate program and its projected cash flows.
Even though the Company have been successful in raising capital in
the past, and expects to continue to raise capital as required,
there is no assurance that it will be successful in obtaining
sufficient funding on terms acceptable to the Company to fund
continuing operations, if at all, or identify and enter into any
strategic transactions that will provide the capital that it will
require.
If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient funding on acceptable
terms, it could be forced to delay, limit, reduce or terminate
ongoing activities for our product candidate, which could have a
material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, and
financial condition.

ATHABASCA OIL: S&P Upgrades ICR to 'B+' on Strong Credit Measures
-----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings raised its issuer credit rating on Calgary-based
oil and gas exploration and production (E&P) company Athabasca Oil
Corp. to 'B+' from 'B'.
S&P said, "At the same time, we raised our issue-level rating on
the company's 6.75% senior unsecured notes due 2029 to 'BB-' from
'B+'. Our '2' recovery rating on the notes is unchanged.
"The stable outlook reflects our expectation that Athabasca will
grow production organically while maintaining consistent operating
performance and sustaining strong cash flow and leverage metrics
over our 12-month outlook period."
S&P expects Calgary-based oil and gas exploration and production
(E&P) company Athabasca Oil Corp. to maintain strong leverage
metrics and adequate liquidity over the next two years.
The company's relatively low gross debt, substantial cash on hand,
and growing production support our expectation for limited credit
metric volatility.
Athabasca's conservative balance sheet is driving strong credit
measures and a cushion to absorb earnings volatility. S&P expects
the company's funds from operations (FFO) to debt to average about
160% and debt to EBITDA of 0.6x for 2026-2027. Athabasca has
maintained a consistently low gross debt balance since 2022, with
S&P Global Ratings-adjusted debt of just under C$300 million. The
company's only long-term debt is its 6.75% C$200 million senior
unsecured notes due 2029. The company also has a C$110 million
reserve-based credit facility, with no amounts drawn and C$41
million of letters of credit outstanding under the facility as of
year-end 2025.
S&P said, "Athabasca also held more than C$300 million of cash on
its balance sheet at Dec. 31, 2025, which we do not net in our
calculation of S&P Global Ratings-adjusted debt. While we do not
expect it to use this cash to reduce debt, we believe the
substantial cash balance reduces volatility in Athabasca's credit
measures through the hydrocarbon price cycle despite the company's
relatively small operating scale and heavy oil exposure. For
example, we expect even in a US$50 per barrel (/bbl) WTI price
environment with a US$20/bbl WCS heavy oil differential,
Athabasca's FFO to debt would remain above 60% with no change to
forecast growth capital spending or operating costs.
"Our ratings reflect Athabasca's large reserves base and production
growth trajectory, balanced with its smaller operating scale
compared with peers. Athabasca's reserve base is significantly
higher than most similarly rated-peers, with reported net proven
reserves of about 325 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe) and
net proved plus probable (2P) reserves of about 884 million boe as
of year-end 2025. Its 2P reserves base equates to about an 85-year
reserve life at current production levels.
"We expect Athabasca's Leismer expansion project, which aims to
increase the asset's production to about 40,000 barrels per day
(bbl/d) versus current production of about 27,000 bbl/d for a total
capital cost of C$300 million, to be substantially completed by
year-end 2026 with production growth beginning in late 2026.
Accordingly, we expect Athabasca's 2027 thermal oil production to
grow from about 34,000 bbl/d in 2025 to about 42,000 bbl/d in 2027
and 45,000 bbl/d - 48,000 bbl/d in 2028.
"Our analysis also assumes Athabasca sanctions phase one of its
Corner greenfield project this year, which would add an incremental
15,000 bbl/d of production by the end of the decade (roughly three
years from sanctioning to first oil). Accordingly, we assume
Athabasca's capital spending remains elevated at C$320 million to
C$350 million annually for 2026-2028. Even with this growth
spending assumed in our forecast, we continue to expect Athabasca
will generate positive free operating cash flow (FOCF; defined as
operating cash flow less capital expenditures) and return 100% of
its FOCF to shareholders through share buybacks.
"We also assume Athabasca's light oil subsidiary Duvernay Energy
Corp. (DEC) continues its self-funded growth trajectory. DEC
currently produces about 5,000 boe/d and Athabasca intends to grow
the entity to more than 15,000 boe/d by 2030.
"While Athabasca is steadily expanding its production base, we
expect its overall operating scale--particularly its daily average
production profile--will remain smaller than similarly rated peers
like Tamarack Valley Energy Ltd. and California Resources Corp.
over the next two to three years. In our view, relatively small
operating scale amplifies the company's exposure to adverse market
or operational events. Accordingly, a higher rating is likely
contingent on increasing scale of production to better align with
higher rated peers, while maintaining stable operating performance
and robust credit measures.
"The relatively low decline rates associated with thermal oil
production result in modest capital spending to maintain
production. We estimate Athabasca's annual maintenance capital
expenditure is about C$150 million annually, which affords the
company flexibility to cut growth spending and preserve balance
sheet strength should oil prices fall materially. In our view, this
flexibility--in conjunction with the company's low debt level and
material cash on hand--reduces cash flow volatility and should
insulate Athabasca's leverage metrics from oil price declines.
"The stable outlook reflects our expectation that Athabasca will
maintain consistent operating performance and sustain strong cash
flow and leverage metrics during our 12-month outlook period, with
average two-year FFO to debt of more than 150% and debt to EBITDA
of about 0.6x. In addition, we expect the company will continue
pursuing organic production growth within internally generated cash
flows and maintain adequate liquidity.
"We could lower the rating over the next 12 months if Athabasca's
credit ratios weaken such that average FFO to debt falls below 60%
on a sustained basis, or if the company significantly outspends
free cash flow. This could occur if commodity prices decline below
our expectations and the company fails to reduce its spending
levels accordingly, or if production falls short of our
expectations.
"We could also lower our rating if Athabasca adopts a more
aggressive financial policy, such as pursuing a large,
debt-financed acquisition that does not add to its near-term cash
flow or increasing its distributions materially beyond its
internally generated cash flow.
"Although unlikely over the next 12 months, we could raise our
rating on Athabasca if it improves its scale of proved reserves and
production to be more in line with its peers rated 'BB-' while
maintaining consistent operating performance, FFO to debt above
60%, and adequate liquidity."

B&C PARTNERS: Seeks to Use Cash Collateral
------------------------------------------
B&C Partners, LLC asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania for authority to use cash collateral and
provide adequate protection.
The Debtor needs to use cash collateral—primarily rental
income—to fund ongoing operations, including tenant attraction,
property maintenance, mortgage payments, and other ordinary course
expenses.
The Debtor owes prepetition debts to BlueBird Lending, LLC, with a
disputed amount between $200,000–$400,000 secured by multiple
properties, including 19121-3513, 2445 W. Allegheny Avenue, and
3252-3254 N. Bailey Street; U.S. Bank/NewRez, with approximately
$190,000 secured by 2538 W. Allegheny Avenue; and the City of
Philadelphia, with roughly $36,041 in unpaid real estate taxes and
fees.
The Debtor proposes that each lender is adequately protected
through replacement or rollover liens on post-petition receivables
and properties to prevent diminution of collateral value. The
Debtor submitted a Budget projecting its operational needs and cash
flow, demonstrating its ability to meet post-petition obligations
if authorized to use the cash collateral.
A court hearing is scheduled for April 1.

Achieva Credit Union. This authorization continues until further
court order.

post-petition cash collateral, with the same validity and priority
as their pre-petition liens, without requiring additional filings.

CADENCE INDEMNITY: A.M. Best Cuts Fin. Strength Rating to B-(Fair)
------------------------------------------------------------------
AM Best has downgraded the Financial Strength Rating to B- (Fair)
from B++ (Good) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating to "bb-"
(Fair) from "bbb+" (Good) of Cadence Indemnity Inc. (Cadence)
(Texas). Additionally, AM Best has placed these Credit Ratings
(ratings) under review with negative implications. Concurrently, AM
Best has withdrawn these public ratings of Cadence per the
company's request. Operating as a single-parent captive, Cadence
provides coverage for a diversified portfolio of risks from several
commonly owned operating companies.
The ratings reflect Cadence's balance sheet strength, which AM Best
assesses as weak, as well as its adequate operating performance,
limited business profile and marginal enterprise risk management
(ERM).
The rating downgrades reflect the weakening in Cadence's balance
sheet strength, driven by a significant decline in risk-adjusted
capitalization, as measured by Best's Capital Adequacy Ratio
(BCAR), and increasing underwriting leverage metrics. In the latter
half of 2025, Cadence experienced premium growth that substantially
deviated from the business plans originally shared with AM Best at
the time the company was initially rated in March 2025.
Consequently, the captive's underwriting risk materially increased,
causing a significant decline in its BCAR score. These rating
actions also reflect a revision in AM Best's assessment of
Cadence's ERM to marginal from appropriate. The ratings will remain
under review with negative implications pending additional meetings
with management to evaluate Cadence's ERM framework, including risk
mitigation strategies and processes, receipt of a revised business
plan, the filing of Cadence's year-end 2025 statutory financial
statements and the finalization of its year-end actuarial review.
CALDWELL HOLDINGS: Court Extends Cash Collateral Access to April 8
------------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Georgia,
Rome Division, issued its sixth interim order extending Caldwell
Holdings, LLC's authority to use cash collateral.
The sixth interim order authorized the Debtor to use cash
collateral in accordance with its budget through the final hearing
scheduled for April 8.
The budget shows total projected operational expenses of
$135,752.71.
The Debtor believes that First Internet Bank of Indiana and Itria
Ventures, LLC may have security interests in certain business
revenues that may constitute cash collateral.
The First Internet Bank of Indiana (as successor to ApplePie
Capital, Inc.) has a first position lien on the Debtor's cash
collateral.
To protect the lenders, the court granted them adequate protection
liens on post-petition assets similar to their pre-bankruptcy
collateral. The replacement liens do not apply to any Chapter 5
avoidance actions.

------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Trustee for Region 16 disclosed in a court filing that no
official committee of unsecured creditors has been appointed in the
Chapter 11 case of Cantor Group III, LLC.
About Cantor Group III LLC
Cantor Group III, LLC is a California-based investment and asset
management company engaged in business development and portfolio
oversight activities.
Cantor Group III sought relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. C.D. Calif. Case No. 26-10416) on February
11, 2026. In its petition, the Debtor reported between $10 million
and $50 million in both assets and liabilities.
Honorable Bankruptcy Judge Scott C. Clarkson handles the case.
The Debtor is represented by William J. Wall, Esq., at Wall & Son.
CASCADE PARENT: S&P Places 'CCC+' ICR on CreditWatch Negative
-------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings placed its 'CCC+' issuer credit rating on
CreditWatch with negative implications on Cascade Parent Ltd.
The CreditWatch negative placement reflects the possibility of a
downgrade in the near term if Cascade does not refinance its debt.
Cascade faces near-term debt maturities. Cascade's $60 million
revolving facility (no borrowings as of Feb 2026) matures in April
2026 and the $433.8 million first-lien term loan matures in July
2026. S&P does not expect the company to have sufficient internal
funds available to repay them. The company plans to refinance its
maturities in full in the near term but has made limited progress;
failure to do so would lead to a multi-notch downgrade.
The company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its
portfolio of creativity and productivity software and related
brands for a base purchase price of $180 million (expected to close
May 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including
regulatory approvals). It plans to use the proceeds to repay its
first-lien term loan. The company also plans to refinance the
remaining portion before maturity, with a commitment from its
financial sponsor, KKR, to repay any portion that cannot be
refinanced.
S&P continues to assess company's liquidity as weak. As of
February, 2026, Cascade had $7.6 million of cash. Over the next 12
months, it expects the company will generate $5 million-$10 million
of funds from operations (FFO). However, $433.8 million of its
first-lien term loan due in July 2026 is current. Additionally,
company's $60 million revolver matures in April 2026. The
maturities will result in a liquidity shortfall if they are not
extended.
The CreditWatch negative placement reflects the possibility of a
multi-notch downgrade in the near term if Cascade does not progress
toward debt repayment or refinancing, as this will strain liquidity
and jeopardize its ability to meet its financial obligations.
Consequently, S&P will lower its ratings if the refinancing takes
longer than it anticipates, thus intensifying liquidity pressure.

CHICKASHA HOSPITALITY: Gets Final OK to Use Cash Collateral
-----------------------------------------------------------
Chickasha Hospitality, Inc. received final approval from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Oklahoma to use cash
collateral to fund operations.
Under the final order, the Debtor is authorized to use cash
collateral strictly in accordance with an approved budget, with a
permitted variance of up to 10% per line item, unless further
consent is obtained from the secured creditor, Chickasha Inn, LLC,
which holds a secured claim of approximately $3.5 million.
The budget reflects projected expenses through April 26. It
projects total operational expenses of $3,850 for week 1; $24,515
for week 2; $28,150 for week 3; $43,424.26 for week 4; $3,850 for
week 5; $24,977 for week 6; $28,150 for week 7; $42,424.26 for week
8; $3,800 for week 9; $24,927 for week 10; $28,100 for week 11;
$42,374.26 for week 12; and $3,850 for week 13.
As adequate protection, Chickasha Inn will be granted replacement
liens on post-petition assets, maintaining the same priority and
validity as its pre-petition liens. Additionally, the creditor is
entitled to a potential super-priority claim under section 507(b)
in the event of any diminution in collateral value.
The Debtor must also provide regular financial reporting, maintain
insurance, and allow reasonable access for inspection of records
and property.
The order includes strict compliance conditions and termination
events, such as default, case dismissal, or modification of the
order.
A carve-out is preserved for professional fees and U.S. Trustee
costs, and all rights of the creditor are reserved. Overall, the
order ensures continued operations while protecting the secured
creditor's interests throughout the bankruptcy proceedings.

COCONUT BREEZE: Gets Extension to Access Cash Collateral
--------------------------------------------------------
Coconut Breeze Cuisine Incorporated and Irie Entree, LLC received
another extension from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania to use cash collateral.
The court authorized the Debtors to use cash collateral until April
17, strictly in accordance with an approved monthly budget, which
projects total operational expenses of $32,237.20.
The funds may be used to maintain operations, preserve assets, pay
U.S. Trustee fees and cover professional expenses necessary for
business continuity.
The Debtor was previously allowed to access cash collateral through
March 20 under the court's Feb. 25 interim order and March 17 final
order.
The latest order granted protection to PIDC Community Capital, the
U.S. Small Business Administration and the merchant cash advance
lenders through replacement liens on post-petition assets and
superpriority administrative claims.
All parties retain the right to challenge the validity, extent, or
priority of the liens held by the lenders.
The order is available at https://is.gd/hsVT4L from
PacerMonitor.com.
A further hearing is scheduled for April 14, with objections due by
April 3. If no objections are raised, the court may approve
continued use of cash collateral without additional hearings.
Irie owes PIDC on a 2024 note used to refinance prior debt at a
lower rate, with CBC jointly liable as corporate guarantor.
PIDC claims first-priority liens on the Debtors' pre-bankruptcy
assets, including Irie's liquor license, with about $115,085.69
owed as of the petition date.
In connection with the pre-bankruptcy obligation, the Debtors
allowed PIDC to file a UCC-1 asserting an "all assets" lien on the
pre-bankruptcy collateral.
As for their agreements with MCA lenders, the Debtors believe the
MCA loans lack collateral and provided no value.

COEUR MINING: S&P Upgrades ICR to 'BB' on Acquisition of New Gold
-----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings raised its rating on Chicago-based Coeur Mining
Inc. to 'BB' from 'B+' and removed it from CreditWatch, where S&P
placed it with positive implications on Nov. 4, 2025.
S&P said, "At the same time, we assigned our 'BBB-' issue-level
rating and '1' recovery rating to the newly upsized $1 billion
revolving credit facility. We also raised our issue-level rating on
the existing senior unsecured debt to 'BB' from 'BB-' and revised
the recovery rating to '3' from '2'. Concurrently, we assigned our
'BB' issue-level rating and '3' recovery rating to the proposed
senior unsecured debt involved in the obligor exchange."
The positive outlook reflects the potential for a higher rating as
Coeur establishes a track record of low leverage and stable
production while integrating the new assets.
Coeur Mining Inc. has acquired all issued and outstanding shares of
Toronto-based New Gold Inc. in an all-equity transaction valued at
approximately $7 billion.
The acquisition strengthened Coeur's competitive position through
increased scale and operating breadth, almost doubling its
production volume from seven mines in total, concentrated in less
risky jurisdictions.
S&P expects leverage below 1x based on our estimates of stronger
earnings and cash flow, its favorable outlook for gold, silver, and
copper prices, and the company's stated conservative financial
policy.
The addition of the New Afton and Rainy River mines strengthens
Coeur's competitive profile. The acquisition increases the
company's scale by almost doubling its production to about 1.25
million gold equivalent ounces. Its operating breadth also
increases with seven operating mines in less risky jurisdictions of
Canada, Mexico and U.S.
However, Coeur will derive about half of its annual revenues from
Canadian assets, which represents some concentration risk, partly
mitigated by the stability of the country. The two additional mines
add new operating jurisdictions and mines with good cost
characteristics, which will improve product diversity and
operational efficiency.
The addition of meaningful copper by-product volumes from the New
Afton mine improves mineral diversity and lowers the cost profile
of the mine and that of the combined entity. However, most of the
company's operating assets are still located within the third and
fourth quartile of the global industry cost curve. Additionally, 4
out of the seven mines have 9 years or fewer of mine life,
including the two newly added assets.
On the other hand, Coeur has been successful in replacing depleted
resources at some of its mines, thereby maintaining production and
life-of-mine over the past 10 to 15 years. For example, Wharf's
mine life was five years when the company acquired it in 2015. By
Dec. 31, 2025, Coeur successfully increased the life of mine to 12
years through years of investment in exploration.
Overall, S&P does not expect significant operational synergies,
which is typical of mergers in the mining industry. Mining assets
are often isolated, which can preclude the asset-level cost savings
that often characterize takeovers in other sectors. Mergers in
mining improve portfolio breadth and corporate sustainability by
adding reserves and resources.
Favorable precious metals prices and various growth projects have
enhanced Coeur's earnings profile. Coeur could generate S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted EBITDA of $2.5 billion-$3.0 billion and free
operating cash flows of $1.3 billion-$1.8 billion in fiscal 2026,
after accounting for capital expenditure (capex) of $400
million-$460 million. It will use more than half of the proposed
capex for various growth projects which could maintain or further
enhance the earnings profile.
S&P expects gold and silver prices to moderate over the next 12-24
months from recent highs but remain solidly above historic prices
of less than $2,000/ounce. Coeur recently completed a period of
heavy capex on the Rochester mine expansion in 2024, which
increased throughput and production volumes at the mine beginning
that same year. This also coincided with the start of the rapid
rise in gold and silver prices. At the same time, Coeur
aggressively expanded over the last 12 months, completing the
acquisition of SilverCrest in February 2025 and now New Gold Inc.
The combination of these acquisitions, expansion projects and
favorable price outlook for gold and silver have increased Coeur's
earnings and cash flow profile
S&P said, "We expect leverage well below 1x supported by
conservative financial policies. Upon close of the New Gold
acquisition, Coeur announced an enhanced shareholder distribution
policy which includes a $750 million authorized share repurchase
program and fixed semi-annual dividends of 2 cents per share. We
expect these distributions will be financed with free operating
cash flows based on our forecast for robust earnings and cash flow
generation over the next 12 – 24 months. The company has publicly
stated it would maintain a net cash position at all times, with a
minimum cash balance equal to its gross debt. As a result, we
expect Coeur to maintain leverage well below 1x, with a significant
cushion to absorb earnings volatility."
Coeur's rolling-12-month leverage as of Sept. 30, 2025, was below
1x, driven by higher earnings and repayment of debt levels. Over
the past 36 months, Coeur reduced its S&P Global Ratings-adjusted
debt through debt-for-equity exchanges and recently utilized free
cash flows to pay down all drawings under its revolving credit
facility, creating a permanent cushion in its credit metrics even
before the combination.
Coeur financed its recent acquisitions with equity issuance,
preserving balance sheet flexibility and strength. S&P expects the
combined entity to have low S&P Global Ratings-adjusted debt of
about $1.3 billion comprising about $700 million of unsecured notes
and $600 million of debt-like obligations such as asset retirement
obligations, pension liabilities, and stream obligations.
S&P said, "We believe the company's continuation of its
conservative financial policy and maintaining stable operations
following the aggressive growth will be key determinants for a
higher rating because it currently lacks a track record of
operating with such low debt leverage. Therefore, we account for
this lack of operating history by applying a negative one-notch
comparable rating analysis adjustment.
"The positive outlook reflects our expectation for record EBITDA
and free cash flows over the next 12 months, supported by the
company's enhanced earnings profile from recent acquisitions and a
favorable outlook for gold, silver, and copper prices. We expect
Coeur will generate robust cash flows to finance high capex
associated with various projects that will either maintain or
enhance its production profile.
"We could revise our outlook on Coeur to stable over the next 12
months if it runs into challenges with operations at any of assets
or prolonged operational disruptions at any of its mines lead to
lower-than-expected volumes. We could also lower our ratings if the
company undertakes debt-financed shareholder distributions or
acquisitions that may harm its credit profile. In such scenarios,
we would expect leverage to rise above 1.5x.
"We could raise our rating on Coeur within the next 12 months if it
establishes a track record of operating with leverage below 1.5x,
supported by our commodity price assumptions and a stable
production profile. We would also expect further clarity on its
financial policy and commitment to maintaining conservative
financial policies that support low leverage."
CRISP MOMENTUM: Delays Q2 FY2026 10-Q Filing Due to Auditor Change
------------------------------------------------------------------
Crisp Momentum Inc. disclosed in a regulatory filing that it is
unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended January 31, 2026 without unreasonable effort or expense due
to delays in obtaining and compiling and reviewing certain
financial statement information for inclusion in the Report as a
result of a recent change in the Company's auditor.
The Company expects to be able to file the Report on or before the
fifth calendar day following its original prescribed due date.

CRUX SOLUTIONS: Court Denies Bid to Use Cash Collateral
-------------------------------------------------------
Crux Solutions, LLC failed to win court approval to use cash
collateral to fund its operations.
Judge Jeffrey Norman of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of Texas, Houston Division denied the Debtor's motion to
use cash collateral after finding that the Debtor failed to meet
its burden of proof.
The Debtor on March 11 requested to use cash, cash equivalents and
other assets, which constitute cash collateral of the U.S. Small
Business Administration and Newtek Small
Business Finance, LLC.
Both creditors assert liens on the Debtor's assets, including
receivables which the Debtor derives its operating cash from.
The Debtor said it will be unable to pay employees and meet
ordinary operating expenses without access to cash collateral.

DILLARD'S INC: S&P Affirms 'BB+' ICR Then Withdraw Rating
---------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings affirmed all its ratings, including its 'BB+'
issuer credit rating on Dillard's Inc.
S&P subsequently withdrew all its ratings on Dillard's at the
company's request.
Before this withdrawal, the stable outlook reflected S&P's
expectation that Dillard's would maintain significant credit metric
cushion this year, with support from its conservative financial
policy despite continued decline in operating margins.
Dillard's Inc. reported a decline in its S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted EBITDA margin to 13.5% in 2025 from 14.1% in 2024
due to soft demand and increased promotions.
Despite continued profitability decline, S&P believes the company
has significant cushion on its credit metrics because of its low
debt and high cash balance.
S&P said, "The affirmation reflects our view that Dillard's capital
structure protects its credit metrics as it operates in a secularly
declining industry. The company has historically operated with low
funded debt and increased its cash balance following the COVID-19
pandemic to $1.1 billion as of Jan. 31, 2026. In addition,
Dillard's has minimal lease liabilities as it owns the real estate
for more than 90% of its stores. S&P Global Rating-adjusted
leverage was zero in 2025, as the company's cash balance exceeded
its adjusted debt, and we expect it will remain there for the next
two years. In our view, the low adjusted debt and strong liquidity
provide operational flexibility to navigate and react to adverse
operating conditions.
"We believe the company will continue to face top-line and
profitability risk. Dillard's reported flat growth with revenue of
$6.6 billion in fiscal 2025 due to soft demand for discretionary
products, increased promotions and increased competition. In
addition, the company remains vulnerable to disruptive long-term
trends affecting the department store sector, which include a shift
in consumer preference to online shopping, a rapid increase in
off-price business models, and a decline in mall foot traffic.
"While we view Dillard's as an efficient operator compared with
other department store peers, it has not been immune to
profitability pressures. S&P Global Ratings-adjusted EBITDA margin
has sequentially declined from its peak of 20.1% in 2021 partially
due to declining demand, despite the company focusing on improving
its retail operations and implementing cost control initiatives. In
2025, adjusted EBITDA margin decreased to 13.5%, compared with
14.1% in 2024 due to lack of comparable sales growth, increased
promotions, and elevated supply chain costs caused by tariffs on
imports.
"Before this withdrawal, the stable outlook reflected our
expectation that Dillard's would maintain significant credit metric
cushion this year, supported by its conservative financial policy,
despite a decline in operating margins."
DISH DBS: S&P Revises 'CCC+' ICR Placement to Watch Developing
--------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings revised the CreditWatch placement on all of our
ratings, including its 'CCC+' issuer credit rating, to developing
from positive, where S&P placed them on August 28, 2025.
S&P intends to resolve the CreditWatch placement once the company
repays debt and the capital structure is clarified. Alternatively,
S&P could resolve its CreditWatch placement on or after March 31 if
the company pursues a Chapter 11 petition to implement the RSA.
On March 19, 2026, EchoStar Corp. subsidiaries DISH Network Corp.
and DISH DBS Corp. (DDBS), along with others, entered into a
restructuring support agreement (RSA) with approximately 82% of
DDBS debt security holders.
While the RSA resolves potential litigation liabilities, repays
intercompany loans, amends indentures to support debt repayments
via cash flow sweeps, and mandates significant debt repayment at
par, S&P believes there is a notable probability that the company
will file for Chapter 11 protection on March 31, 2026, subject to
extensions, to implement the RSA and address holdouts.
Absent a bankruptcy filing, an upgrade following expected debt
repayments remains possible once S&P gains better clarity around
pro forma debt capitalization.
S&P revised its CreditWatch placement to developing from positive,
due to the recently announced RSA, which presents a wide range of
potential credit outcomes. On one hand, the RSA outlines a plan for
the repayment of approximately $6.75 billion in funded DDBS and DBS
Subscriber Co. debt obligations maturing in 2026 and 2027 at par.
This includes full repayment or discharge of intercompany loans and
the prepayment of certain DDBS notes without penalty. This creates
a credible pathway for substantial deleveraging and a potential
ratings upgrade, provided these transactions are executed as
intended.
However, the RSA also introduces the risk that the company may need
to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection if it fails to secure
participation from 98% of the holders. In such a scenario, S&P
would lower its rating on the company to 'D' while it remains under
court protection. Nonetheless, the RSA allows full cash payment to
DDBS noteholders in the event of a potential Chapter 11 filing.
S&P said, "We expect to resolve the CreditWatch placement once the
RSA transaction solicitation period closes on March 31, 2026.
However, the company may extend this period. Should it pursue a
Chapter 11 filing to implement the RSA, we would lower our issuer
credit rating on the company to 'D'.
"Conversely, we could raise the rating to the 'B' rating category
if the company successfully executes its deleveraging plan,
demonstrates insulation from DISH Wireless-related litigation with
telecommunications tower infrastructure providers over unpaid rent
and alleged breaches of contract, and provides greater clarity on
its capital structure and operating strategy."
DIVERSIFIED WIRE: Gets Interim OK for DIP Loan From Bridge Business
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Diversified Wire & Cable, Inc. received interim approval from the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan,
Southern Division, to obtain post-petition financing.
The interim order authorized the Debtor to obtain an initial
$932,000 from Bridge Business Credit, LLC, which has committed to
provide up to $2 million in DIP financing. It also approved the
Debtor's interim use of cash collateral.
The Debtor, which operates with roughly $1,215,054 in total assets
consisting mainly of inventory and receivables, said that it cannot
obtain unsecured credit and requires immediate liquidity to fund
essential operations. This financing is structured to immediately
satisfy the pre-petition $319,798 debt owed to the Bank of Ann
Arbor and to provide working capital for the duration of the
bankruptcy proceedings.
The DIP facility grants the lender a first-priority priming lien
and superpriority administrative claim status, effectively placing
this new debt at the top of the repayment hierarchy. To secure this
arrangement, the DIP lender is receiving guarantees from Dean J.
Stanton, Susan K. Stanton, and Dean G. Stanton, Jr. Additionally,
the Susan K. Stanton Revocable Living Trust, which holds a
pre-petition all-asset security interest securing a $493,267 note,
has agreed to subordinate its lien to the new DIP lender.
As adequate protection for this subordination and the Debtor's use
of cash collateral, the Debtor will provide the Stanton Trust with
monthly interest-only payments starting April 1, along with
replacement liens on post-petition assets.
The Debtor has submitted a 13-week rolling budget to govern the use
of these funds, with the lender maintaining strict oversight
through specific "termination events," such as a negative variance
exceeding 5% or the conversion of the case to Chapter 7.
The Debtor said this financing was negotiated at arm's length and
is necessary to avoid "immediate and irreparable harm" to the
estate. By securing this funding, the Debtor aims to maintain
supplier confidence and preserve the value of its business while
pursuing a formal reorganization or asset sale process under
Subchapter V.

EMPOWER NATUROPATHIC: Gets Interim OK to Use Cash Collateral
------------------------------------------------------------
Empower Naturopathic Medicine, Inc. received interim approval from
the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of California
to use cash collateral.
The court authorized the Debtor to use cash collateral in
accordance with its budget until the final hearing, which is
scheduled for April 15.
Cadence Bank is the only secured creditor with a potential interest
in the Debtor's cash collateral. It holds a "blanket lien" with an
outstanding balance of $136,324. However, the Debtor asserts that
Cadence Bank does not have a perfected lien on the clinic's deposit
accounts because the bank lacks "control" (e.g., no Deposit Account
Control Agreement exists). The Debtor claims that receivables
generated after the bankruptcy filing are the result of new labor
and services, not the "proceeds" of pre-petition collateral and,
therefore, should not be restricted as cash collateral under 11
U.S.C. section 552.
As protection, Cadence Bank will be granted replacement liens on
all of the Debtor's assets acquired on or after the petition date,
with the same validity, priority and extent as its pre-bankruptcy
liens.
In case the replacement liens prove inadequate, Cadence Bank will
be granted an administrative priority claim.
The order is available at https://is.gd/s8MBPt from
PacerMonitor.com.
The Debtor was forced into reorganization primarily due to a failed
business venture by Dr. Carleigh Golightly's husband. The Debtor
had provided an unconditional guaranty for a $389,600 SBA loan from
Evolve Bank & Trust; when that business failed, the Debtor became
liable for the balance, which now totals approximately $422,248.
These payments, combined with equipment financing obligations, far
exceed the clinic’s average monthly net income of $6,604, making
the current debt structure unsustainable outside of bankruptcy.

HUNTINGTON GLEN: Seeks Cash Collateral Access
---------------------------------------------
Huntington Glen SWNG TIC I, LLC and Huntington Glen SWNG TIC 2, LLC
ask the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware for
authority to use cash collateral and provide adequate protection.
The Debtors have filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy petitions to
restructure their financial obligations and sell a 364-unit
garden-style apartment complex located in Houston, Texas,
originally acquired by Nord Group in November 2021. Despite
approximately $3–4 million in capital improvements over the past
three years, the property has faced ongoing financial challenges,
including a soft rental market, rising payroll and maintenance
costs, delinquent tenants, and management instability.
As of the petition date, the Debtors owe approximately $39 million
under a non-recourse multifamily loan from Arbor Commercial
Funding, secured by the property and its rents, while the estimated
property value is $42 million, providing a significant equity
cushion.
The Debtors, operating as debtors-in-possession, seek interim and
final court authorization to use cash collateral—primarily rents
from the property—to fund ongoing business operations and
administrative expenses, including payroll, insurance, taxes,
utilities, and maintenance.
They argue that without access to this cash collateral, operations
would be disrupted, jeopardizing the property's value and the
potential sale process.
The Debtors contend that the substantial equity cushion in the
property adequately protects the secured lender and provides
sufficient assurance under the law for use of the cash collateral.
They request that the Court approve the interim use of cash
collateral according to a proposed budget, schedule a final
hearing, and grant any further relief deemed necessary to maintain
operations and preserve asset value during the Chapter 11
proceedings.

INNOVATIVE INDUSTRIAL: Enforces Rights After Tenant Defaults
------------------------------------------------------------
Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. announced the following
portfolio updates, including the execution of 122,000 square feet
of new leases in March 2026, as the Company continues to execute on
its previously announced plan to enhance the performance of its
real estate portfolio and drive long-term value for its
shareholders:
PharmaCann
The Company has resolved all pending litigation with PharmaCann
Inc. with respect to PharmaCann's prior lease defaults. The
settlement agreement that the Company has entered into with
PharmaCann includes monetary judgments for amounts owed by
PharmaCann under the leases for New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania and
mandates the turnover of these properties to the Company by May 20,
2026 for the New York and Pennsylvania properties and by May 26,
2026 for the Ohio property. The Company is actively working on
retenanting these properties and is in active discussions with
prospective tenants for all three properties.
The Company has executed lease agreements with new tenants for the
other three cultivation assets previously leased to PharmaCann,
executing a lease agreement for its 205,000 square foot Michigan
property in April 2025, executing a lease agreement for its 58,000
Massachusetts property in November 2025, and most recently
executing a lease agreement for its 66,000 square foot Illinois
property in March 2026.
Gold Flora
The Company has executed lease agreements for the three properties
previously leased by Gold Flora, executing a lease agreement for
its 70,000 Palm Springs property in November 2025, executing a
lease agreement for its 204,000 square foot Desert Hot Springs
property in January 2026, and executing a lease agreement for its
56,000 Palm Springs property in March 2026.
4Front
The Company has reached tentative agreements with prospective new
tenants for the four assets leased to 4Front, including a 250,000
square foot asset in Illinois, a 114,000 square foot asset in
Washington, and two assets in Massachusetts totaling 124,000 square
feet. Each of these agreements are subject to customary diligence
and licensing processes and are expected to go into effect at the
conclusion of receivership proceedings, expected by the third
quarter of 2026.
The Cannabist Company
The Cannabist Company and its affiliates defaulted on the tenant's
obligation to pay rent in full for the month of March 2026 for one
property located in Pennsylvania. March rent, including base rent,
property management fees and estimated tax and insurance payments,
totaled $0.6 million for this property and represented 2.7% of the
Company's total rental revenues for the year ended December 31,
2025. The Company intends to use the security deposits held under
the Cannabist lease to pay the full amount of March 2026 rent,
including any accrued late fees and interest.
In total, the Company currently has 20 leases with Cannabist
(including the property in Pennsylvania) for properties that it
owns, which collectively represented approximately 6.3% of the
Company's total rental revenues for the year ended December 31,
2025. Cannabist remains current on all obligations to pay rent for
19 of the 20 leases.
Battle Green
Battle Green Holdings, Inc. and its affiliates defaulted on the
tenant's obligation to pay rent for the month of March 2026 for a
property located in Ohio, which is its only property leased to
Battle Green. March rent, including base rent, property management
fees and estimated tax and insurance payments, totaled $0.8 million
for this property and represented 2.9% of the Company's total
rental revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company
intends to use security deposits held under the Battle Green lease
to pay the full amount of March 2026 rent, including any accrued
late fees and interest.
The Company expects to enforce its rights under its leases with
these tenants aggressively, which may include, but is not limited
to, commencing eviction proceedings as the Company deems necessary
and pursuing available remedies under applicable guarantees.
About Innovative Industrial Properties Inc.

REIT focused on the acquisition, ownership and management of
specialized industrial and commercial properties in the United

state-licensed operators for their regulated cannabis facilities.

The Company's independent auditor, Sadler, Gibb & Associates, LLC,
based in Draper, Utah, and serving since 2018, included a "going
concern" qualification in its report dated February 24, 2026,
citing the Company's significant outstanding debt obligation that
matures within the next 12 months raises substantial doubt about
the Company's going concern.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $2.4 billion in total
assets, $522.9 million in total liabilities, and $1.8 billion in
total stockholders' equity.
JAMMER LLC: Gets Interim OK to Use Cash Collateral
--------------------------------------------------
The Jammer, LLC received interim approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, Southern
Division-Flint, to use cash collateral.
The court authorized the Debtor to use $25,390 in cash collateral
in accordance with its budget. This authorization remains effective
until entry of a final order.
The Debtor projects approximately $354,147 in necessary expenses
over the first three months of the case and anticipates a small
cash flow surplus, based on a detailed budget.
To the extent of any diminution in value of their pre-bankruptcy
cash collateral, Samson Funding, LLC and SBG Funding/Peac will
receive replacement liens, with the same priority and validity as
their pre-bankruptcy security interest and liens. The replacement
liens do not apply to any Chapter 5 claims and causes of action.
The Debtor has secured loans from Samson MCA and SBG Funding/Peac,
which have asserted liens on its future receivables.
The order is available at https://is.gd/MJxl8l from
PacerMonitor.com.
The next hearing is set for April 1. The deadline for filing
objections is on March 30.
The Debtor is seeking to reorganize its finances due to significant
debt accrued during and after the pandemic. It continues to operate
as debtor-in-possession and requests the court's authorization to
use cash collateral to maintain operations, including rent,
payroll, utilities, insurance, and food costs.

KOOL AIR: Gets Interim OK to Use Cash Collateral
------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida,
Jacksonville Division issued a second interim order authorizing
Kool Air, LLC to use cash collateral.
Under the second interim order, the Debtor is authorized to use
cash collateral to pay court-approved expenses, U.S. Trustee
quarterly fees, and necessary operating expenses outlined in the
budget, with flexibility of up to 10% per line item. Any additional
spending requires written approval from the secured creditor,
Olympus Lending, LLC. This authorization remains in effect until
further order of the court.
Kool Air must fulfill all obligations of a debtor-in-possession,
including compliance with bankruptcy rules, maintaining insurance
coverage, and providing the secured creditor with reasonable access
to business records and premises. In exchange, secured creditors
will receive a replacement lien on post-petition cash collateral
with the same priority and validity as their pre-petition liens,
automatically perfected without further action.
The order is entered without prejudice, preserving the rights of
all parties, including any future creditors' committee. The court
retains jurisdiction to enforce the order. Notably, no cash
collateral payments are required to the secured lender at this
time, due to interest rate considerations, subject to later
determination of the creditor’s secured status.
A copy of the court's order and the Debtor's budget is available at
https://shorturl.at/0UCjz from PacerMonitor.com.
A continued hearing is scheduled for March 31.
Kool Air executed a loan agreement with Olympus in which its
post-petition account receivables, cash and other assets were
pledged as collateral.
The Debtor estimates the value of the cash and accounts receivable
to be approximately $51,000 based on a current aging report of
receivables less than 90 days old. The Debtor believes the assets
that were pledged to the lender were secured by a loan, which
exceeds the allowable interest rate under state or federal law.
About Kool Air LLC
Kool Air, LLC filed a petition under Chapter 11, Subchapter V of
the Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. M.D. Fla. Case No. 26-00175) on January
16, 2026, with $100,001 to $500,000 in assets and liabilities.
Judge Jacob A. Brown oversees the case.
Bryan K. Mickler, Esq., at Mickler & Mickler represents the Debtor
as legal counsel.
MAWSON INFRASTRUCTURE: Forms Strategic Transactions Committee
-------------------------------------------------------------
Mawson Infrastructure Group Inc. provided an update on its progress
to deliver value to stockholders.
Mawson has achieved a range of objectives over the past year,
including regaining Nasdaq compliance, settling multiple lawsuits
which reduced the Company's current liabilities by $19 million, and
initiating a strategic pivot to artificial intelligence and
high-performance computing. As these achievements were obtained
over the course of fiscal 2025, the Mawson Board of Directors
formed a Strategic Transactions Committee to evaluate a range of
alternatives to the Company, including potential M&A transactions,
joint ventures and other opportunities. The Strategic Transactions
Committee is being assisted by independent legal and financial
advisors and is focused on maximizing stockholder value.
"Mawson remains committed to transparency, disciplined
decision-making, and pursuing every path that can unlock
sustainable value," said Kaliste Saloom, Interim CEO and General
Counsel of Mawson. "While our review of strategic opportunities is
ongoing, we will continue to take actions that position Mawson for
long-term growth and shareholder value creation."
Ryan Costello, Chair of the Board of Directors, said, "Mawson has
valuable assets, strong potential, and a strategy built for
sustainable growth, and the Board will continue to explore all
opportunities to unlock significant value and deliver superior
returns for our shareholders."
There can be no assurance that the strategic process will result in
the Company pursuing any specific outcome. There is no deadline or
definitive timetable set for completion of the strategic process.
Mawson does not intend to make any further public comment on the
process unless and until it determines that further disclosure is
appropriate or necessary.
Additional Stockholder Information
* Mawson expects to file its Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2025, on March 31, 2026. Preliminary unaudited results
for the 2025 fourth quarter and fiscal year can be found at
https://www.mawsoninc.com/ under "Press Releases."
* On April 2, 2026, Mawson will present at the Emerging Growth
Conference from 2:55 PM to 3:05 PM Eastern Time. This live,
interactive online event offers stockholders and the investment
community an opportunity to engage directly with Interim CEO
Kaliste Saloom.

About Mawson Infrastructure Group
Mawson is a U.S.-based technology company that designs, builds, and
operates next-generation digital infrastructure platforms.
Previously, Mawson Infrastructure Group's creditors filed a Chapter
11 involuntary petition against the company (Bankr. D. Del. Case
No. 24-12726) on Dec. 4, 2024. The petitioning creditors include W
Capital Advisors Pty Ltd, Marshall Investments MIG Pty Ltd, and
Rayra Pty Ltd.
On November 4th, 2025, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware issued a written Order formalizing its ruling
from the bench on October 21, 2025, dismissing with prejudice the
involuntary bankruptcy petition filed against Mawson. The Order
enables Mawson to pursue attorneys' fees and costs, any damages
proximately caused by the involuntary petition, and potentially
punitive damages against the petitioning creditors.
Boston, Massachusetts-based Wolf & Company, P.C., the Company's
auditor since 2023, issued a "going concern" qualification in its
report dated March 28, 2025, attached to the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024,
citing that the Company has incurred net losses since its
inception, and had negative working capital and will need
additional funding to continue operations. This raises substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $52 million in total
assets, $61.4 million in total liabilities, and $9.4 million in
total stockholders' deficit.
NEW FORTRESS: Delays 2025 10-K Filing Amid Financial Restatement
----------------------------------------------------------------
New Fortress Energy Inc. disclosed in a regulatory filing that is
working diligently and plans to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as soon as
practicable.
The Company reported on March 17, 2026, that the Audit Committee of
the Board of Directors concluded that the Company's previously
issued financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024
and 2023 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed on June 30, 2025,
and each of the Company's previously issued financial statements
included in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q as of and for each
of the interim periods in 2025 and 2024 should no longer be relied
upon.
The Company requires additional time to complete a restatement of
its historical financial statements related to the incorrect
presentation of certain capital expenditures on its statements of
cash flows. Additionally, certain errors were identified in the
capitalization of interest, as well as other insignificant errors,
that require restatement of the Company's 2025 interim financial
statements. The Company continues to work diligently to complete
the remaining review and restatement procedures. As a result, the
Company has determined that it is unable, without unreasonable
effort or expense, to file the Annual Report within the prescribed
time period.
The Company expects to file the Annual Report, including all
required restated financial statements, no later than March 31,
2026, or as soon as practicable; however, the timing of the filing
may be subject to further delay, and the Company cannot provide
assurance regarding the definitive filing date while this work
remains in progress.
About New Fortress Energy Inc.
New Fortress Energy Inc., a Delaware corporation, is a global
energy infrastructure company founded to help address energy
poverty and accelerate the world's transition to reliable,
affordable and clean energy. The Company owns and operates natural
gas and liquefied natural gas infrastructure, ships and logistics
assets to rapidly deliver turnkey energy solutions to global
markets. The Company has liquefaction, regasification and power
generation operations in the United States, Jamaica, Brazil and
Mexico. The Company has marine operations with vessels operating
under time charters and in the spot market globally.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $11.9 billion in total
assets, $10.8 billion in total liabilities, and a total
stockholders' equity of $1.1 billion.
* * *
In November 2025, S&P Global Ratings lowered its issuer credit
rating on New Fortress Energy Inc. (NFE) to 'SD' (selective
default) from 'CCC'. At the same time, S&P lowered its issue level
rating on NFE's 12% senior secured notes due 2029 to 'D' from
'CCC-'. The downgrade reflects NFE's decision to enter into a
forbearance agreement. S&P will reevaluate its ratings on NFE
before the end of November as more information becomes available.
The Company has initiated a process to evaluate its strategic
alternatives to improve its capital structure. It has retained
Houlihan Lokey Capital, Inc. as financial advisor and Skadden,
Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP as legal advisor to assist it in
this evaluation. The Company, along with its advisors, is
considering all options available, including asset sales, capital
raising, debt amendments and refinancing transactions, and other
strategic transactions that seek to provide additional liquidity
and relief from acceleration under its debt agreements.
As part of this process, the Company is engaging in discussions
with various existing stakeholders and potential investors. There
are inherent uncertainties as the outcome of these negotiations and
potential transactions are outside management's control, and
therefore there are no assurances that management will be
successful in these negotiations and that any of these potential
transactions will occur.
In addition, there can be no assurances that these transactions
will sufficiently improve the Company's liquidity or that the
Company will otherwise realize the anticipated benefits.
Moreover, if the Company fails to obtain amendments and
forbearance, the Company may be required or compelled to pursue
additional restructuring initiatives to preserve value and
optionality, including possible out-of-court restructurings, or
in-court relief, which could have a material and adverse impact on
the Company's stockholders.
NEW FORTRESS: Secures Creditor Support for Restructuring Plans
--------------------------------------------------------------
New Fortress Energy Inc. disclosed in a regulatory filing that the
Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a
restructuring support agreement with its lenders and noteholders,
including:
* certain members of an ad hoc group of holders of the 12.000%
Senior Secured Notes due 2029 pursuant to that certain Indenture,
dated as of November 22, 2024, by and among NFE Financing LLC, an
indirect subsidiary of the Company, as the issuer, the guarantors
from time to time party thereto and Wilmington Savings Fund
Society, FSB, as trustee and collateral agent, which Supporting
2029 New Notes Holders, together with other Supporting Creditors,
hold a majority of the aggregate principal amount of 2029 New Notes
outstanding as of the date the RSA was executed;
* certain members of an ad hoc group of term lenders under
that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of October 30, 2023, by and
among the Company, as the borrower, the guarantors from time to
time party thereto, the lenders from time to time party thereto,
and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent
and collateral agent, which Supporting Term Loan B Lenders,
together with other Supporting Creditors, hold a majority of the
loans outstanding under the Term Loan B Agreement as of the RSA
Execution Date;
* certain holders of debt under that certain Credit Agreement,
dated as of April 15, 2021, by and among the Company, as the
borrower, the guarantors from time to time party thereto, the
lenders and issuing banks from time to time party thereto, and MUFG
Bank Ltd., as administrative agent and collateral agent, which

Creditors, hold a majority of the loans outstanding under the

that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of July 19, 2024, by and
among the Company, as the borrower, the guarantors from time to
time party thereto, the lenders from time to time party thereto,
and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent

* a majority of the members of a group of creditors with
recourse to the collateral assets in the Company's core business,
but not to the Company's Fast LNG assets or Brazil business,
including:
(1) holders of the 6.500% Senior Notes due 2026 issued
pursuant to that certain Indenture, dated as of April 12, 2021, by
and among the Company, as issuer, the guarantors from time to time
party thereto and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as
successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association), as
trustee and collateral agent,
(2) holders of the 8.750% Senior Secured Notes issued pursuant
to that certain Indenture, dated as of March 8, 2024, by and among
the Company, as the issuer, the guarantors from time to time party
thereto and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as

(3) creditors of the Series I Loan Debt and Series II Loan
Debt.
Kroll Issuer Services Limited, the Company's information agent for
purposes of the RSA and the Restructuring Plans, is party to the
RSA for certain limited purposes. A holder of or lender under the
debt instruments described above that is not already party to the
RSA may become an Additional Supporting Creditor by executing and
delivering an Additional Supporting Creditor Joinder to the
Information Agent in accordance with the terms of the RSA and as
available on the Information Agent's website:
https://deals.is.kroll.com/nfe.
Provided certain conditions are met (as set out in the RSA), the
Company will pay to holders of or lenders under the debt
instruments described above that become Supporting Creditors on or
before 5:00 p.m. New York City time on March 31, 2026, an early
consent fee in an amount equal to 0.75% of the principal amount of
such Supporting Creditors' eligible applicable notes and loans.
A Supporting Creditor's entitlement to the Early Consent Fee will
be determined by reference to the aggregate principal amount of
notes and loans held by that Supporting Creditor as of the record
date specified to creditors for voting under the Restructuring
Plans. If holders of or lenders under the debt instruments become a
Supporting Creditor after the Early Consent Deadline but acquires
notes or loans that are eligible for the Early Consent Fee, its
entitlement to the Early Consent Fee will be determined by
reference to the aggregate principal amount of those acquired notes
or loans by that Supporting Creditor as of the Record Date. Such
early consent fee will be payable in kind in the form of the
consideration to be afforded to such Supporting Creditors under the
Restructuring Plans.
Separately, the Company has agreed to pay each Revolving Loan
Agreement lender that agrees to forbear from taking any enforcement
action under the Revolving Loan Agreement and/or with respect to
the Revolving Loan Agreement collateral a standstill fee (the
"Standstill Fee") in an amount equal to 2.00% of the outstanding
loans made by such forbearing Revolving Loan lender, provided that
a simple majority of Revolving Loan Agreement lenders (constituting
Required Lenders, under and as defined in the Revolving Loan
Agreement) agree to forbear.
The RSA sets forth principal terms for a comprehensive
restructuring of the Company's principal funded debt obligations.
The RSA contemplates, among other things, the following:
* The Company will separate into two separate, independent
companies: one generally comprising the Company's businesses and
assets in Brazil ("BrazilCo"), and the other generally comprising
the Company's other businesses and assets, which will be retained
by NFE ("CoreCo");
* Obligations under the 2026 Legacy Notes, the 2029 Legacy
Notes, the Term Loan A Agreement, the Term Loan B Agreement, the
Revolving Loan Agreement, the 2029 New Notes, and the Intercompany
Credit Agreements will be exchanged (in each case on a ratable
basis) for one or a combination of the following debt obligations
and equity securities:
* 100% of the common equity interests in BrazilCo;
* up to $643 million (assuming full exercise of the
elections provided for in the Restructuring Support Agreement
allowing an exchange of a limited amount of CoreCo Convertible
Preferred Stock (defined below) to debt thereby increasing the
amount of New CoreCo Term Loans from $527.5 million) in senior
secured term loans incurred by NFE, as borrower, and guaranteed by
each subsidiary of NFE that will be part of CoreCo (subject to
customary exclusions and other exclusions to be agreed and assuming
all eligible participants exchange preferred equity for debt);
* convertible preferred stock of NFE with an aggregate
liquidation preference of up to $2.5 billion;
* shares of NFE common stock representing 65% of NFE
common stock as of the Transaction closing date, before giving
effect to an incentive plan for directors, officers and other
employees of the Company or any conversion of the CoreCo
Convertible Preferred Stock into NFE common stock;
* corporate governance matters regarding CoreCo;
* $400 million in non-recourse term loans (the "FLNG 2
Term Loans") incurred or issued by the subsidiary that owns the
Company's Fast LNG 2 assets, payable in full on the third
anniversary of the Closing Date, guaranteed by certain subsidiaries
of FLNG 2 Co and secured by substantially all assets of FLNG 2 Co
and such subsidiaries; and/or
* $200 million in non-convertible, preferred equity (the
"FLNG 2 Preferred Equity") issued by FLNG 2 Co;
* Letters of credit issued under the Company's existing letter
of credit facility or Revolving Loan Agreement will be backstopped
or replaced by letters of credit issued under new fully committed
letter of credit facilities for each of CoreCo and BrazilCo (or, in
the case of CoreCo, may remain outstanding under the existing
letter of credit facility, as amended, amended and restated, or
otherwise modified);
* Certain other existing debt facilities and other liabilities
will be refinanced, renegotiated, or compromised, or will remain
outstanding in accordance with their existing terms;
* All shares of NFE common stock outstanding immediately prior
to the consummation of the Transaction will remain outstanding and
will represent 35% of NFE common stock issued and outstanding
following the consummation of the Transaction but before giving
effect to an incentive plan for directors, officers and other
employees of the Company or any conversion of the CoreCo
Convertible Preferred Stock into NFE common stock; and
* If required in order to meet a consolidated minimum
liquidity threshold ($100 million) on the Closing Date, the Company
will offer to all eligible creditors the opportunity to participate
in a capital raise, pursuant to which the Company would raise up to
$35 million in aggregate principal amount of additional New CoreCo
Term Loans and, to the extent the consolidated minimum liquidity
threshold would not be met after giving effect to the additional
New CoreCo Term Loans, junior term loans secured by a
second-priority lien in an amount so that the consolidated minimum
liquidity threshold would be met.
Summary of the CoreCo Convertible Preferred Stock and FLNG 2
Preferred Equity
Pursuant to the terms of the RSA, the CoreCo Convertible Preferred
Stock will mandatorily convert on the third anniversary of the
Closing Date into shares of NFE common stock representing 87% of
the fully diluted common stock of NFE as of the Closing Date (after
giving effect to the shares of NFE common stock to be issued on the
Closing Date and the incentive plan for directors, officers and
other employees of the Company). The conversion rate of the CoreCo
Convertible Preferred Stock will be subject to customary
adjustments for stock splits, distributions, reorganizations and
reclassifications, as well as to certain price-based anti-dilution
adjustments for subsequent issuances of NFE common stock (or
securities convertible into NFE common stock) made by the Company
while the CoreCo Convertible Preferred Stock remains outstanding
(subject to certain exempt issuances).
CoreCo will have the right to redeem or repurchase the CoreCo
Convertible Preferred Stock from time to time with certain sources
of proceeds enumerated in the RSA. Holders of the CoreCo
Convertible Preferred Stock will be entitled, in arrears, to a
cumulative quarterly compounding dividend, which will accrue
automatically via an increase to liquidation preference, with a
cumulative per annum preferred return of 3.0%, 5.0% and 7.0% in
each of the three years, respectively, prior to conversion. The
CoreCo Convertible Preferred Stock will participate on an
as-converted basis in any dividends and distributions on, and vote
together with holders of, NFE common stock. The CoreCo Convertible
Preferred Stock will be subordinated in right of payment to all
existing and future indebtedness of CoreCo and senior in right of
payment to all existing and future equity securities of CoreCo.
The FLNG 2 Preferred Equity will be issued by FLNG 2 Co at the
Closing Date pursuant to the RSA and will reflect economic and
structural features substantially similar to those of the CoreCo
Convertible Preferred Stock, except as otherwise provided herein.
CoreCo will have the right to redeem the FLNG 2 Preferred Equity
from time to time with certain sources of proceeds enumerated in
the RSA. The Company will not pay any dividends on the FLNG 2
Preferred Equity. The FLNG 2 Preferred Equity will be subordinated
in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness of FLNG
2 Co and senior in right of payment to all existing and future
equity securities of FLNG 2 Co.
Summary of the New CoreCo Term Loans
NFE expects to use the proceeds of the New CoreCo Term Loans to
refinance, on a cashless basis, certain of the loans and other
obligations outstanding under NFE's Revolving Loan Agreement and
Term Loan B Agreement. If necessary, the cash proceeds of up to $35
million of additional New CoreCo Term Loans will be used to satisfy
the consolidated minimum liquidity threshold required by the RSA.
The New CoreCo Term Loans will mature five years after the Closing
Date and will amortize at a rate of 1% per annum, paid quarterly.
The New CoreCo Term Loans will be guaranteed, jointly and
severally, on a senior secured basis by each subsidiary that is a
guarantor under the Letter of Credit Facility on the Closing Date,
and will be secured by substantially the same collateral as the
collateral that currently secures the Letter of Credit Facility,
subject to certain exceptions, including NFE's FLNG 2 assets. To
the extent the minimum liquidity threshold is not satisfied after
giving effect to the funding of the New CoreCo Term Loans, the
Company is permitted to incur additional indebtedness that will be
guaranteed by the same guarantors guaranteeing the New CoreCo Term
Loans and secured by a second-priority lien on all of the
collateral securing the New CoreCore Term Loans.
The New CoreCo Term Loans may be voluntarily prepaid by the
Company, in whole or in part, subject to prepayment premiums for
optional prepayments equal to 102% of the aggregate principal
amount of such term loan prepaid plus accrued and unpaid interest
during the first year after the closing of the New CoreCo Credit
Agreement, and at par plus accrued and unpaid interest thereafter.
The Company will be required to prepay the New CoreCo Term Loans at
par with the net proceeds of non-ordinary course asset sales,
condemnations and certain other events enumerated in the RSA.
The Restructuring Plans; Holder Elections
Holders of R-2 Revolving Loan Agreement Debt and Term Loan A Debt
may elect to receive:
(a) their pro rata share of $45 million in lieu of the
BrazilCo Common Equity they would receive in exchange for their
Debt and holders of Revolving Loan Agreement Debt may elect to
receive
(b) additional New CoreCo Term Loans in lieu of the CoreCo
Preferred Stock they would receive in exchange for their claims, at
a rate of 50% of the liquidation preference of the CoreCo Preferred
Stock in aggregate principal amount of New CoreCo Term Loans.
In addition, one or more directors and officers of the Company and,
potentially certain Supporting Creditors and/or third-party
investors, as determined by such directors and officers, will offer
to purchase from holders of Revolving Loan Agreement Debt and Term
Loan A Debt a limited number of shares of CoreCo Convertible
Preferred Stock allocated to such holders (subject to certain terms
and conditions, including that the relevant holder timely elects to
participate in such arrangements) for a cash purchase price of 25%
of the liquidation preference of such shares of CoreCo Convertible
Preferred Stock.

The Company expects to complete the Transaction through
restructuring plans promoted by each of two indirect subsidiaries
of the Company under Part 26A of the UK Companies Act 2006 and
sanctioned by the High Court of Justice in England. The PlanCos
will seek recognition of the Restructuring Plans in the United
States pursuant to chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The
Restructuring Plans will bind all relevant creditors, and release
the obligations of the Company and all guarantors, under the debt
instruments addressed in the Restructuring Plans; however, neither
the Company nor any of its subsidiaries other than the PlanCos
anticipate being parties to the Restructuring Plans proceedings in
the High Court, the chapter 15 recognition proceedings or any other
restructuring, bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding in connection
with the Transaction.
The RSA sets forth the commitments of the Company and the
Supporting Creditors to, among other things, cooperate in good
faith to negotiate the definitive documents necessary or advisable
to effect the Transaction, use their commercially reasonable
efforts to consummate the Transaction in accordance with such
definitive documents, and refrain from taking any actions that
would impede or would otherwise be inconsistent with the
Transaction (including by supporting or consenting to any
alternative transaction, subject, in the case of the Company, to a
"fiduciary out"). In addition, the Supporting Creditors have agreed
to forbear from exercising remedies (or directing or consenting to
any such exercise of remedies) with respect to certain specified
defaults and events of default under the applicable debt
instruments while the RSA is in effect.
The parties' obligations to consummate the Transaction are subject
to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the High
Court's entry of an order sanctioning the Restructuring Plans and
the recognition of that order in the United States pursuant to
chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, completion of definitive
documents acceptable to the parties in accordance with standards
set forth in the RSA, approval of certain matters by the Company's
stockholders, receipt of required regulatory and third-party
consents and approvals, and satisfaction of certain process
"milestones."
The RSA may be terminated by the Company and/or the Supporting
Creditors, as applicable, upon the occurrence of specified events,
including, without limitation, if:
(1) a material, uncured breach of certain parties'
representations, warranties, covenants, or obligations under the
RSA occurs,
(2) any of the conditions to the closing of the Transaction
(including the timely satisfaction of any of the process
"milestones" prescribed in the RSA) is not timely satisfied or
waived, or
(3) the Transaction has not closed by September 15, 2026
(which date may be automatically extended by up to 90 calendar days
in certain circumstances and further extended with the consent of
certain parties in accordance with the terms of the RSA through
December 31, 2026).
In addition, the Company may terminate the RSA if the Company's
board of directors determines, upon the advice of counsel, that the
Company's continued performance under the RSA would be inconsistent
with the fiduciary duties of the Company's directors.
The Company intends to submit certain proposals in connection with
the Transaction to the Company's stockholders at its 2026 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders, including, among other things, an
amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation (the
"Certificate of Incorporation") to increase the number of
authorized shares of NFE common stock; approval for the potential
issuance of common stock exceeding 20% of the current outstanding
shares to comply with Nasdaq rules; an amendment to the Company's
2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares
available for grants; and an amendment to the Certificate of
Incorporation to authorize a reverse stock split at a ratio to be
determined by the Company's board of directors. The Transaction is
conditioned upon approval of all of the Stockholder Proposals.
Although the Company intends to pursue the Transaction in
accordance with the terms set forth in the RSA, there can be no
assurance that the Company will satisfy all of the conditions under
the RSA and complete the Transaction as contemplated or at all. If
the Company is unable to complete the Transaction or any other
alternative transactions, the Company will be required or compelled
to pursue additional restructuring initiatives to preserve value
and optionality, including possible out-of-court restructurings, or
in-court relief, in the UK or the U.S., which could have a material
and adverse impact on stockholders.

Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities
The offer and sale as part of the Transaction of the shares of NFE
common stock, the CoreCo Convertible Preferred Stock and the FLNG 2
Preferred Equity are being made in reliance upon an exemption from
registration under the Securities Act. Any shares of NFE common
stock deliverable upon conversion of shares of the CoreCo
Convertible Preferred Stock will be issued in reliance upon the
exemption from registration in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities
Act.
In addition, in partial satisfaction for the assumption of certain
of the Company's existing liabilities by a counterparty on the
three year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company has agreed,
at its option, to either (i) issue a number of shares of NFE common
stock equal to 1.0% of NFE's outstanding common stock (calculated
as of the Closing Date, and giving effect to the issuance of NFE
common stock pursuant to the Transaction) or (ii) make a payment of
$10.0 million. Any shares of NFE common stock will be issued in
reliance upon an exemption from registration under the Securities
Act.
About New Fortress Energy Inc.
New Fortress Energy Inc., a Delaware corporation, is a global
energy infrastructure company founded to help address energy
poverty and accelerate the world's transition to reliable,
affordable and clean energy. The Company owns and operates natural
gas and liquefied natural gas infrastructure, ships and logistics
assets to rapidly deliver turnkey energy solutions to global
markets. The Company has liquefaction, regasification and power
generation operations in the United States, Jamaica, Brazil and
Mexico. The Company has marine operations with vessels operating
under time charters and in the spot market globally.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $11.9 billion in total
assets, $10.8 billion in total liabilities, and a total
stockholders' equity of $1.1 billion.
* * *
In November 2025, S&P Global Ratings lowered its issuer credit
rating on New Fortress Energy Inc. (NFE) to 'SD' (selective
default) from 'CCC'. At the same time, S&P lowered its issue level
rating on NFE's 12% senior secured notes due 2029 to 'D' from
'CCC-'. The downgrade reflects NFE's decision to enter into a
forbearance agreement. S&P will reevaluate its ratings on NFE
before the end of November as more information becomes available.
The Company has initiated a process to evaluate its strategic
alternatives to improve its capital structure. It has retained
Houlihan Lokey Capital, Inc. as financial advisor and Skadden,
Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP as legal advisor to assist it in
this evaluation. The Company, along with its advisors, is
considering all options available, including asset sales, capital
raising, debt amendments and refinancing transactions, and other
strategic transactions that seek to provide additional liquidity
and relief from acceleration under its debt agreements.
As part of this process, the Company is engaging in discussions
with various existing stakeholders and potential investors. There
are inherent uncertainties as the outcome of these negotiations and
potential transactions are outside management's control, and
therefore there are no assurances that management will be
successful in these negotiations and that any of these potential
transactions will occur.
In addition, there can be no assurances that these transactions
will sufficiently improve the Company's liquidity or that the
Company will otherwise realize the anticipated benefits.
Moreover, if the Company fails to obtain amendments and
forbearance, the Company may be required or compelled to pursue
additional restructuring initiatives to preserve value and
optionality, including possible out-of-court restructurings, or
in-court relief, which could have a material and adverse impact on
the Company's stockholders.
NEW GOLD: S&P Upgrades ICR to 'BB' on Acquisition by Coeur Mining
-----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings raised its issuer credit rating (ICR) on
Toronto-based gold producer New Gold Inc. to 'BB' (the same level
as its ICR on Coeur Mining) from 'B+' and removed it from
CreditWatch, where S&P placed it with positive implications on Nov.
4, 2025.
S&P said, "At the same time, we revised our recovery rating on New
Gold's unsecured notes to '3' from '2' and raised our issue-level
rating on the notes to 'BB' from 'BB-'.
"The positive outlook on New Gold reflects our positive outlook on
Coeur Mining. The positive outlook on Coeur reflects the potential
for a higher rating as it establishes a track record of low
leverage and stable production as it integrates the new assets."
Chicago-based precious metals producer Coeur Mining Inc. has
completed its acquisition of Toronto-based gold producer New Gold
Inc. through an all-stock transaction valued at $7 billion. S&P now
assesses New Gold as a core operating subsidiary of Coeur Mining.
"Following the completion of New Gold's acquisition, we now assess
New Gold as a core operating subsidiary of Coeur Mining. Therefore,
we raised our issuer credit rating to 'BB' (the same as our rating
on Coeur Mining) and removed our ratings from CreditWatch, where we
placed them with positive implications on Nov. 4, 2025.
"We also raised our issue-level rating on New Gold's unsecured debt
to 'BB' and revised the recovery rating to '3' from '2'. We
generally cap recovery ratings on unsecured debt at '3' for
companies rated the 'BB' category. As part of the transaction, we
believe Coeur Mining will become an obligor of New Gold's 2032
unsecured notes in due course."
The addition of New Gold's Rainy River and New Afton operations
will almost double Coeur Mining's annual gold equivalent
production. The acquisition adds a new operating jurisdiction and
mines with good cost profile, which together should improve product
diversity and operational efficiency. The addition of copper
by-product volumes from New Afton improves mineral diversity and
lowers the cost profile of the mine and the combined entity.
However, most of the company's operating assets are still within
the third and fourth quartile of the global industry cost curve.
S&P said, "The positive outlook for New Gold reflects our outlook
on its parent Coeur Mining. The positive outlook on Coeur Mining
reflects our expectation of record EBITDA and free cash flows over
the next 12 months supported by the company's enhanced earnings
profile from recent acquisitions and a favorable outlook for gold,
silver and copper prices. We expect Coeur will generate robust cash
flows to finance high capital expenditure associated with various
projects that will either maintain or enhance its production
profile."
NEW MEXICO TERMINAL: Century Bank Loses Bid to Appoint Trustee
--------------------------------------------------------------
Century Bank failed to win court approval for the appointment of an
independent trustee to take over the Chapter 11 case of New Mexico
Terminal Services, LLC.
Judge Robert Jacobvitz of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of New Mexico denied the bank's motion to appoint a
Chapter 11 trustee, saying it does not serve the interests of the
bankruptcy estate, creditors and equity security holders.
"Appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee will inject uncertainty,
create an additional layer of administrative expense for the
estate, and yields the prospect of prejudicing creditors other than
Century Bank rather than benefiting them," Judge Jacobvitz said.
The bankruptcy judge ruled the company must be allowed to market
and sell its real property under court oversight to protect
creditors despite the bank's lack of confidence.
New Mexico Terminal Services intends to sell its property in
Albuquerque to pay all creditors in full and yield a substantial
surplus for its members. The property is part of an economic
development project.
The company aims to sell the property privately to increase its
value but will sell it as-is at auction if no deal is reached
within six months after the court approves the company's employment
of a broker.
New Mexico Terminal Services has been seeking a grant from the New
Mexico Economic Development Department to obtain funds to complete
its portion of the development project.
Judge Jacobvitz said completing the Bernalillo County improvements
would significantly boost the property's value, and even without
such improvements, the bank’s claim is already adequately
protected by the property's current estimated value.
Judge Jacobvitz warned he will appoint a Chapter 11 trustee if the
company fails to meet key deadlines: filing an amended Chapter 11
plan by April 3, securing plan confirmation within 60 days of
disclosure statement approval, and moving to set auction procedures
within 30 days after confirmation.

About New Mexico Terminal Services
New Mexico Terminal Services LLC is classified as a single-asset

New Mexico Terminal Services LLC sought relief under Chapter 11 of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. D.N.M. Case No. 25-11291) on
October 16, 2025. In its petition, the Debtor reports estimated
assets between $10 million and $50 million and estimated
liabilities between $1 million and $10 million.

NORTH COUNTY PIZZA: Seeks Cash Collateral Access
------------------------------------------------
North County Pizza, Inc asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of California for authority to use cash
collateral and provide adequate protection.
Specifically, the Debtor requests approval to use cash collateral
for an initial 60-day period in accordance with a detailed budget,
with flexibility to exceed total budgeted amounts by up to 15%,
adjust expenses proportionally with increased revenues, and carry
forward unused funds without penalty.
The Debtor argues that access to cash collateral is critical to
maintaining operations, paying essential expenses such as payroll,
leases, utilities, and suppliers, and preserving its status as a
going concern while it formulates a reorganization plan. The
company anticipates that, if allowed to operate without creditor
interference, its financial condition will stabilize within
approximately two months and generate positive cash flow.
The filing follows significant financial distress caused primarily
by reliance on merchant cash advance lenders, which imposed
burdensome repayment structures and, in at least one case,
disrupted revenue streams by redirecting customer payments.
Additional pressures included prepetition litigation and general
unsecured debt. Historically, the Debtor operated multiple Domino's
franchise locations, but after selling several stores and
downsizing to a single profitable location, it was left with debt
obligations exceeding its reduced revenue base.
The Debtor argues that the MCA lenders do not hold valid or
perfected security interests in the Debtor’s cash or deposit
accounts, and therefore their claims do not constitute enforceable
cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtor contends that
these lenders failed to perfect their interests under applicable
law—particularly because they lacked “control” over deposit
accounts as required under the California Uniform Commercial
Code—and that their claims are limited to future receivables,
which are not subject to prepetition liens under section 552(a).
As adequate protection for secured creditors, the Debtor proposes
granting replacement liens on all prepetition and postpetition
assets (excluding certain bankruptcy avoidance claims), limited to
the extent of any diminution in value of the creditors' collateral,
and maintaining the same priority and validity as prepetition
liens. The Debtor also seeks to ensure uninterrupted cash flow by
directing customers and other payors to remit payments directly to
the Debtor and prohibiting creditors from interfering with or
redirecting such payments.
The Debtor emphasizes that denial of access to cash collateral
would force an immediate shutdown of operations, leading to loss of
value and harming all stakeholders, including creditors.
Conversely, permitting its use will allow the Debtor to continue
business operations, collect receivables, maintain obligations, and
work toward confirming a reorganization plan.

ONE ALLIANCE: A.M. Best Affirms 'B(Fair)' Fin. Strength Rating
--------------------------------------------------------------
AM Best has removed from under review with negative implications
and affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of B (Fair) and the
Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of "bb" (Fair) of One Alliance North
America Insurance Company (OANAIC) (Forth Worth, TX) (formerly
Universal North America Insurance Company). The outlook assigned to
these Credit Ratings (ratings) is negative.
The ratings reflect OANAIC's balance sheet strength, which AM Best
assesses as adequate, as well as its marginal operating
performance, limited business profile and marginal enterprise risk
management.
The ratings were removed from under review with negative
implications following the executed stock purchase agreement
between Universal Group, Inc. and 5B Alliance, LLC. The agreement
included the sale of One Alliance Insurance Holdings of North
America, Inc. (formerly known as Universal Insurance Holdings of
North America, Inc), an intermediate holding company that owns
OANAIC and One Alliance Insurance Managers, Inc. (formerly known as
Universal Insurance Managers, Inc.), a managing general agent.
The rating affirmations are supported by OANAIC's strong
risk-adjusted capitalization, as measured by Best's Credit Adequacy
Ratio (BCAR), at the 99.6 VaR, generally stable loss reserving
trends and a conservative investment portfolio. However, the
company's balance sheet has experienced considerable volatility in
prior periods as the result of severe weather-related losses, which
reduced policyholder surplus through cumulative retained losses.
Under the new ownership, OANAIC's balance sheet has shown some
improvement with surplus appreciation resulting from profitable
operating results in 2025. This was the result of the
implementation of profitability initiatives that include derisking
and diversifying the portfolio, significant rate increases and
benefits from milder weather in areas of concentration.
The negative outlooks reflect AM Best's concerns regarding the
elevated leverage measures at the holding company. Management has
implemented a near-term plan to lower leverage somewhat at the
holding company. In the event that this plan is not executed
successfully, there will be downward pressure on the ratings.
PICO-UNION HOUSING: Files Emergency Bid to Use Cash Collateral
--------------------------------------------------------------
Pico-Union Housing Corporation asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Central District of California, Los Angeles Division, for
authority to use cash collateral and provide adequate protection.
The Debtor is a California nonprofit public benefit corporation
dedicated to developing, preserving, and managing affordable
housing for low- and very-low-income communities in Southern
California.
The Debtor operates a substantial affordable housing
portfolio—owning approximately 123 units and managing roughly 870
units, including a significant number of Section 8 properties—and
relies heavily on rental income and government funding from
agencies such as HUD, the California Department of Housing and
Community Development, and the Los Angeles Housing Department.
The request arises in the context of severe financial distress
triggered not by operational failure, but by aggressive creditor
enforcement actions by Impact Mortgage Opportunities Fund L.P.,
which pursued claims against the Debtor based on guaranties tied to
loans made to affiliated entities. After foreclosing on those
affiliates' properties and obtaining deficiency judgments, IMOF
secured prejudgment attachment liens and levied the Debtor’s bank
accounts—twice in early 2026—seizing funds that the Debtor
contends include restricted monies such as tenant security deposits
and regulated reserves, which may not constitute property of the
bankruptcy estate.
These enforcement actions effectively crippled the Debtor's
liquidity, impaired its ability to operate its housing programs,
and prevented refinancing of its properties, prompting the Chapter
11 filing on March 12, 2026. The Debtor's primary objectives in
bankruptcy are to halt IMOF’s collection efforts, negotiate a
settlement, refinance its real estate assets to satisfy
obligations, and ultimately reorganize its debts while continuing
to serve its tenant population.
The Debtor's asset base consists primarily of real estate valued at
nearly $40 million and rental income streams, both of which are
encumbered by multiple secured creditors, including IMOF and
several financial institutions.
To provide adequate protection to secured creditors, the Debtor
proposes granting replacement liens on postpetition assets,
consistent with the priority and validity of prepetition liens,
limited to the amount of cash collateral used and excluding
avoidance actions. The Debtor asserts that such protections are
sufficient under bankruptcy law, particularly because the proposed
use of funds will preserve and potentially enhance the value of the
underlying collateral by maintaining the properties and ensuring
continued revenue generation. The motion allows for limited
flexibility, including a 10% variance in budgeted expenditures, and
emphasizes that no secured creditor will be harmed or suffer
diminution in collateral value as a result of the proposed use.

Under the second interim order, the Debtor is authorized to use
cash collateral to pay court-approved expenses, U.S. Trustee fees,
and necessary operating costs outlined in a budget, with

PUGET ENERGY: S&P Rates New Junior Subordinates Notes 'BB'
----------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'BB' issue-level rating to Puget
Energy Inc.'s proposed fixed-to-fixed rate junior subordinated
notes due September 2056. The company intends to use the net
proceeds from this issuance to repay debt, as well as for general
corporate purposes.
S&P said, "We classify these notes as hybrid securities with
intermediate equity content (50%) when adjusting Puget Energy's
financial statements. The intermediate equity assessment and the
'BB' issue-level rating, two notches below our 'BBB-' long-term
issuer credit rating on the company, reflect the securities'
subordination and management's ability to defer the interest
payments on them. These notes are subordinated to Puget Energy's
existing and future senior debt obligations, which satisfies the
subordination condition. In addition, the long-term nature of the
proposed notes, along with the company's limited ability and lack
of incentives to redeem them for a long-dated period, meets our
standards for permanence. Furthermore, management's ability to
defer the interest payments due on the notes fulfills the
deferability element.
"While the coupon floor feature on the notes provides Puget Energy
with less protection against some interest-rate and refinancing
scenarios than equivalent hybrids without a floor, we expect the
company would replace this instrument with an equivalent or
stronger form of equity before a potential redemption to maintain a
similar layer of capital to absorb losses or conserve cash when
needed. Redeeming the notes without replacing them with an
equivalent or stronger form of equity would likely preclude future
equity credit, all remaining else equal.
"We will reclassify the notes as having no equity content after
September 2036 because the remaining period until maturity will be
less than 20 years. Pro forma for this issuance, we expect hybrid
securities will account for about 5% of Puget Energy's total
capitalization, which is below the 15% threshold in our criteria."

REALPAGE INC: Fitch Affirms 'B' LongTerm IDR, Outlook Stable
------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed RealPage Intermediate Holdings, Inc.'s
and its wholly owned subsidiary, RealPage, Inc.'s (RealPage)
Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'B'. Fitch has also
affirmed RealPage Inc.'s first lien secured revolver and term loans
'B+' rating with a Recovery Rating of 'RR3'. The Rating Outlook is
Stable.
RealPage's ratings are supported by its improved profitability and
strong FCF generation. The company is well established as a leading
provider of software and data analytics to the real estate
industry. The ratings also reflect RealPage's moderate leverage
profile and some concerns about the ongoing antitrust lawsuits
related to its revenue management products, which may take an
extended period to resolve.
Key Rating Drivers
Ongoing Litigation and DOJ Probe: RealPage's revenue management
software (RMS) is under scrutiny for alleged anticompetitive
practices. RealPage reached a settlement with the U.S. Department
of Justice (DoJ) in November 2025 regarding RMS, which Fitch views
as a significant positive development. The settlement resulted in
no financial penalties, damages or findings of wrongdoing. However,
state attorneys' general lawsuits and private class action cases
remain ongoing.
These matters are unlikely to be resolved soon, and the outcomes
remain unclear. Adverse rulings that materially impact the
company's credit profile could result in negative rating action.
Fitch projects low-to-mid single-digit revenue growth, reflecting
some recovery post-DOJ settlement.
Strong Cash Flow Generation: RealPage has strong EBITDA-to-FCF
conversion due to recurring revenue, strong EBITDA, and minimal
capex requirements. Fitch expects FCF margins to be in low-to-mid
teens, and the (CFO-capex)/debt ratio to be in the 6%-8% range
throughout the forecast period, consistent with Fitch-rated 'B'
technology peers. FCF margins are driven by improved profitability,
operational efficiencies, and potentially lower interest rates.
Moderate Leverage: Fitch estimates RealPage's Fitch-adjusted gross
leverage to be about 6.0x for fiscal 2025 and remain above 5.5x
through the rating horizon, with its capacity to deleverage
supported by FCF generation. Fitch-adjusted leverage has improved
from 6.8x in 2024 and 7.6x in 2023, primarily due to improved
profitability. However, due to the private equity ownership that is
likely to prioritize growth, Fitch expects capital to be used for
acquisitions to accelerate growth, with financial leverage
remaining at moderate levels.
Sufficient Liquidity: RealPage's debt consists of a first lien $3.3
billion term loan, incremental $1 billion term loan, and a $215
million first lien secured revolver (all maturing in 2028). The
company's liquidity is supported by more than $125 million of cash
on hand, strong cash flow generation, and fully undrawn revolver.
Acquisition-Aided Growth: Fitch expects RealPage to remain
acquisitive given the fragmented nature of the industry and the
company's goal to expand its platform offerings. RealPage has made
several acquisitions in the past, including Knock CRM,
HomeWiseDocs, Rexera, and Livble with a combination of cash and/or
debt. Fitch believes M&A remains a central growth strategy to drive
organic revenue through cross-selling opportunities.
Technology Disruption Risk: RealPage leverages over 25 years of
industry expertise, public and private rental market data and deep
workflow integration across property management, accounting,
revenue optimization and utility billing functions, creating
substantial barriers and high switching costs. While emerging
competitors may leverage large language models for point solutions,
Fitch believes RealPage's mission-critical and deeply embedded
products, breadth of offerings, and established client
relationships provide material insulation from AI disruption in the
medium term.
Peer Analysis
RealPage's leverage profile, high recurring revenues and consistent
positive FCF generation fit well with other 'B' rated issuers.
While not a direct competitor, CoStar Group, Inc. (BBB/Stable)
offers software solutions to manage commercial real estate.
RealPage generates significantly higher margins in the mid-30%
range, compared to margins in the 20% range for CoStar. However,
CoStar is rated higher due to its larger scale (generates twice as
much revenue as RealPage) and highly conservative capital
allocation policy, with gross leverage of about 2.3x at YE 2025.
RealPage directly competes with numerous software providers in the
real estate sector, including those offering property management
software, cloud services, and software-enabled, value-added
services such as applicant screening, customer relationship
management (CRM), marketing, internet listing services, and payment
processing. Competitors include Yardi, Inc., Entrata, Inc., MRI
Software LLC, and AppFolio.
RealPage's profitability, leverage, and FCF metrics are comparable
with other Fitch-rated software peers in the 'B' rating category,
such as Constant Contact Inc. (B/Stable) and Qlik Parent Inc.
(B/Stable). Both companies have higher margins near 40% range but
similar leverage and FCF profiles. Fitch expects RealPage's gross
leverage to remain above 5.5x over the rating horizon.
Fitch’s Key Rating-Case Assumptions
- Revenue growth in the low-to-mid single digits;
- Adjusted EBITDA margins in the mid-30s over the forecast
horizon;
- Approximately $750 million spent on acquisitions, funded by FCF;
- Capex intensity 3.0% of revenue;
- Interest rate forecast to be 4.50% in fiscal 2026, falling to
3.50% in fiscal years 2027 and 2028;
- No assumptions are made for dividends to the sponsor;
- No assumptions are made of the ongoing antitrust matters since
the outcomes are unknown.
Corporate Rating Tool Inputs and Scores
Fitch scored the issuer as follows, using its Corporate Rating Tool
(CRT) to produce the Standalone Credit Profile (SCP):
- The SCP is 'b'.
Recovery Analysis
Fitch's recovery analysis assumes RealPage would be reorganized as
a going-concern (GC) in bankruptcy rather than liquidated. Fitch
has also assumed a 10% administrative claim.
Fitch forecasts that RealPage's going-concern EBITDA is $500
million. To arrive at the going-concern EBITDA, Fitch assumes that
the company's customer churn increases and that RealPage loses
clients to competitors such as AppFolio and Yardi, causing revenues
to decline to approximately $1.62 billion and that operating
efficiencies are lost, reducing RealPage's EBITDA margins to
approximately 30%.
An enterprise value multiple of 7.0x EBITDA is applied to the
going-concern EBITDA to calculate a post-reorganization enterprise
value. The choice of this multiple considered the following
factors:
- The median reorganization enterprise value/EBITDA multiple for
the 71 TMT bankruptcy cases that had sufficient information for an
exit multiple estimate to be calculated was 5.9x. Of these
companies, five were in the software sector: Allen Systems Group,
Inc - 8.4x; Avaya, Inc. - 2023: 7.5x, 2017: 8.1x; Aspect Software
Parent, Inc. - 5.5x, Sungard Availability Services Capital, Inc. -
4.6x, and Riverbed Technology Software - 8.3x;
- The highly recurring nature of RealPage's revenue and
mission-critical nature of the product support the multiple being
on the high end of the range.
Fitch arrived at an enterprise value of $3.5 billion. After
applying the 10% administrative claim, an adjusted enterprise value
of $3.1 billion is available for claims by creditors. Fitch assumes
a full draw on RealPage's $215 million revolver.
As a result of these considerations, Fitch rates the first lien
term loans and revolver 'B+'/'RR3', or one notch above RealPage's
'B' IDR.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to a
Negative Rating Action/Downgrade
- Significant monetary damages from state antitrust litigation or
class action settlements that materially impact the credit
profile;
- EBITDA leverage sustained above 7.0x;
- (CFO-capex)/debt sustained below 3%;
- EBITDA interest coverage sustained below 2.5x;
- Material decline in market share or emergence of significant
competitor or disruptor.
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Positive
Rating Action/Upgrade
- EBITDA leverage sustained below 5.5x;
- (CFO-capex)/debt sustained above 7.0%;
- Expectation of sustained growth and/or margin outperformance to
Fitch's expectation.
Liquidity and Debt Structure
Fitch expects RealPage to maintain adequate liquidity. As of Sept.
30, 2025, the company had more than $125 million of cash on hand.
The company's liquidity also benefits from its FCF generation in
low-to-mid teens, owing to strong cost optimization and fully
undrawn revolver of $215 million, which was successfully refinanced
by the lenders prior to maturity.
RealPage's debt consists of a first lien $3.3 billion term loan
(2028 maturity), incremental $1 billion term loan (2028 maturity),
and a $215 million first lien secured revolver maturing in 2028 as
well.
Issuer Profile
RealPage, Inc., founded in 1998 and headquartered in Richardson,
TX, is a leading global provider of software and data analytics to
the real estate industry. Thoma Bravo acquired RealPage on April
22, 2021.
MACROECONOMIC ASSUMPTIONS AND SECTOR FORECASTS
Fitch's latest quarterly Global Corporates Sector Forecasts Monitor
data file which aggregates key data points used in its credit
analysis. Fitch's macroeconomic forecasts, commodity price
assumptions, default rate forecasts, sector key performance
indicators and sector-level forecasts are among the data items
included.
Climate Vulnerability Signals
The results of its Climate.VS screener did not indicate an elevated
risk for RealPage Intermediate Holdings, Inc.
ESG Considerations
The highest level of ESG credit relevance is a score of '3', unless
otherwise disclosed in this section. A score of '3' means ESG
issues are credit-neutral or have only a minimal credit impact on
the entity, either due to their nature or the way in which they are
being managed by the entity. Fitch's ESG Relevance Scores are not
inputs in the rating process; they are an observation on the
relevance and materiality of ESG factors in the rating decision.

ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS: S&P Rates Canadian Subordinated Notes 'BB'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'BB' issue-level rating to Rogers
Communications Inc.'s (RCI's) proposed fixed-to-fixed rate
subordinated notes due July 31, 2056. The company intends to use
the net proceeds from these notes to fund upcoming maturities.
S&P said, "We classify these notes as hybrid securities with
intermediate equity content (50%). This reflects the offering's
permanence, subordination, and deferability features. In line with
our criteria, we will reclassify the notes as having minimal equity
content in July 2036 because the remaining period until maturity
will be less than 20 years. We rate these securities two notches
below our 'BBB-' long-term issuer credit rating on RCI to reflect
their subordination and management's ability to defer interest
payments on the instrument."
RCI plans to use all proceeds in excess of C$2.3 billion from the
recent USD (marketed on March 24, 2026) and proposed CAD
subordinated notes to redeem the 2081 5% subordinated notes, which
will lose its equity treatment in December 2026. As a result, S&P
will remove equity content of equivalent amount (above C$2.3
billion) of existing hybrids. Pro forma the transaction and
assuming $2.3 billion of hybrid (USD and CAD) issuance, the C$9.2 B
of subordinated notes receiving intermediate equity treatment is
about 15% of the company's capitalization on an S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted basis. Any amount above that will receive 100%
debt treatment.
The long-term nature of the subordinated debentures, along with the
company's limited ability and lack of incentives to redeem the
issuance of a long-dated period, meets S&P's standards for
permanence. RCI has emphasized its willingness to maintain the
instrument as part of its permanent capital structure. In the event
RCI were to redeem either of the instruments before the effective
maturity date, they must be replaced with an equivalent or stronger
equity content instrument issued up to or on the date the original
hybrid is redeemed. The instruments are subordinated to all RCI's
existing and future senior debt obligations, thereby satisfying the
condition for subordination. In addition, the interest payments are
deferrable, which fulfills the deferability element.
ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS: S&P Rates New Subordinated Notes 'BB'
------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'BB' issue-level rating to Rogers
Communications Inc.'s (RCI) proposed US$-denominated fixed-to-fixed
rate subordinated notes (NC5 note) due July 31, 2056. The company
intends to use the net proceeds from these notes to fund upcoming
maturities.
S&P said, "We classify these notes as hybrid securities with
intermediate equity content (50%). This reflects the offering's
permanence, subordination, and deferability features. In line with
our criteria, we will reclassify the notes as having minimal equity
content on July 31, 2036, because the remaining period until
maturity will be less than 20 years.
"We rate these securities two notches below our 'BBB-' long-term

management's ability to defer interest payments on the instrument.
"The long-term nature of the subordinated debentures, along with
the company's limited ability and lack of incentives to redeem the
issuance meets our standards for permanence. RCI has emphasized its
willingness to maintain the instrument as part of its permanent
capital structure. In the event RCI redeems either of the
instruments before the effective maturity date, the company must
replace the instrument with an equivalent or stronger equity
content instrument up to or on the date it redeems the original
hybrid. The instruments are subordinated to all RCI's existing and
future senior debt obligations, thereby satisfying the condition
for subordination. In addition, the interest payments are
deferrable, which fulfills the deferability element."
SHAYN REALTY: Seeks Cash Collateral Access
------------------------------------------
Shayn Realty LLC and affiliates ask the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Eastern District of New York for authority to use cash
collateral and provide adequate protection, with the consent of
their secured lender, ConnectOne Bank.
The Debtors, each of which owns and operates residential apartment
buildings in Brooklyn, New York, commenced their bankruptcy cases
on January 21, 2026, and have since continued operating as
debtors-in-possession.
Rather than operating under a fixed budget, the agreement allows
the Debtors to submit actual monthly expenses to the Lender for
review, with payments permitted unless the Lender objects within a
short timeframe.
The stipulated arrangement imposes structured obligations on the
Debtors, including key deadlines such as retaining a real estate
broker and filing bidding procedures by March 31, 2026, filing a
plan of reorganization by May 31, 2026, and obtaining plan
confirmation by July 31, 2026. The Debtors are authorized to use
cash collateral to cover necessary property-related expenses,
including taxes, insurance, repairs, utilities, and modest
management fees, thereby ensuring continued operations and
preservation of the properties' value.
As part of the adequate protection package, the Debtors grant the
Lender replacement liens on the properties and associated rents
(excluding avoidance actions), and agree to remit any excess cash
flow to the Lender. The agreement also includes limited carve-outs,
such as for U.S. Trustee fees and capped professional fees, and
preserves certain rights for the Debtors and third parties to
challenge aspects of the Lender's claims.
The Debtors argue that continued access to cash collateral is
essential to maintain the properties, serve tenants, and prevent
deterioration of the underlying collateral, which would otherwise
cause irreparable harm to the estates and creditors. They emphasize
that using rental income to maintain and enhance the properties
constitutes adequate protection under bankruptcy law, especially
given the Lender's consent and the additional safeguards provided.

SHERWOOD HOSPITALITY: Seeks Continued Cash Collateral Access
------------------------------------------------------------
Sherwood Hospitality Group, LLC and DVKOCR Tigard, LLC ask the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Oregon for authority to
continue using cash collateral and provide adequate protection.
Specifically, the Debtors request modification of the original cash
collateral order and all 10 prior stipulated modifications,
extending the outside date for cash collateral use to April 20
while maintaining all other terms and conditions of the order.
The Debtors' authority to use cash collateral under the court's
March 16 stipulated order expired on March 20.
Aside from the extension, the Debtors have also agreed with lien
creditors, L-O Sherwood Finance, LLC and L-O Tigard Finance, LLC,
to waive any termination event associated with missed interest or
adequate protection payments for February, March, and April 2026.
The Debtors assert that this modification is consistent with the 11
U.S.C. sections 105(a) and 363, and Bankruptcy Rules 4001(d), 9014,
and 9024, and reflects an agreement among the parties to continue
cash collateral use on the same terms as previously approved.

SPIRIT AVIATION: Posts $2.83B Net Loss for 2025 'Successor Period'
------------------------------------------------------------------
Spirit Aviation Holdings, Inc. filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission its Annual Report on Form 10-K reporting a net
loss of $2.83 billion for the Successor Period from March 13, 2025
through December 31, 2025, compared to a net loss of $1.23 billion
for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $5.99 billion in total
assets, $1.28 billion in total (current) liabilities, and $2.09
billion in total stockholders' deficit.
Going Concern
On March 12, 2025, the Company emerged from the Chapter 11 Cases in
accordance with the Plan. As part of the reorganization, it
successfully restructured certain of its debt obligations,
established new financing arrangements and issued new equity
securities consisting of new Common Stock and new warrants.
However, the Company have continued to be affected by adverse
market conditions, including elevated domestic capacity and
continued weak demand for domestic leisure travel, resulting in a
difficult pricing environment and diminished revenues. As a result,
it continues to experience challenges and uncertainties in our
business operations.
The Company said, "Since our emergence from the 2024 Chapter 11
Bankruptcy, we have taken certain measures to address these
challenges, including the implementation of product enhancements,
strategic reductions in certain markets and capacity, consummation
of sale-leaseback transactions related to certain of our owned
spare engines and other discretionary cost reduction strategies,
including the pilot furloughs announced in July and October 2025
and the flight attendant furloughs announced in September 2025.
Also, on August 21, 2025, we borrowed the entire available amount
of $275.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings
under the Revolving Credit Facility will mature on March 12,
2028."
"Effective August 15, 2025 and August 20, 2025, we entered into two
amendments with our primary credit card processor. On August 15,
2025, we agreed to make an additional transfer of $50.0 million in
cash to a pledged account in favor of the credit card processor.
This amount is recorded in restricted cash within our consolidated
balance sheets. On August 20, 2025, we agreed to allow the
processor:
(i) to hold back up to $3.0 million per day until the
processor's exposure is fully collateralized and
(ii) to remain fully collateralized as the processor's
exposure increases or decreases.
In exchange, the processor agreed:
(i) to extend the term of the Card Processing Agreement from
the then current December 31, 2025 expiration date to December 31,
2027, with two automatic one-year extensions unless either party
provides a notice of non-renewal not less than 90 days prior to the
end of the then-effective term, and
(ii) to remove the existing minimum liquidity trigger for
holdbacks under the Card Processing Agreement.
"On August 29, 2025, we and our Debtor affiliates filed voluntary
petitions under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy
Court.
"Since the Petition Date, we have been operating our businesses as
a debtor-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy
Court in accordance with the applicable provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. We received
approval from the Bankruptcy Court for a variety of "first day"
motions to continue our ordinary course operations during the
Chapter 11 Cases, and approval of various post-petition liquidity
initiatives described in further detail below. However, for the
duration of the Chapter 11 Cases, our operations and ability to
develop and execute our business plan, our financial condition,
liquidity and our continuation as a going concern are subject to a
high degree of risk and uncertainty associated with the Chapter 11
Cases. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent
upon, among other things, our ability to become profitable and
maintain profitability, our ability to access sufficient liquidity
and our ability to successfully implement a plan of reorganization.
As discussed further below, we have entered into a DIP Facility for
purposes of accessing ongoing liquidity during the Chapter 11
Cases.
"The outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases is dependent upon factors that
are outside of our control, including actions of the Bankruptcy
Court. We can give no assurances that we will be able to secure
additional sources of funds to support its operations, or, if such
funds are available to us, that such additional financing will be
sufficient to meet our needs."
"We have evaluated whether there are any conditions and events,
considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern within the next 12 months
fom March 16, 2026, the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Based on such evaluation, management believes there is substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. During the
Chapter 11 Cases, our ability to continue as a going concern is
contingent upon our ability to obtain approval and successfully
implement the Proposed Plan, among other factors."

Spirit Aviation Holdings, Inc. disclosed in a regulatory filing
that the Company and affiliated debtors entered into a
Restructuring Support Agreement with certain holders (collectively,
the "Consenting DIP Lenders") of approximately:
(i) 74.6% of the aggregate principal amount of the new money

The Restructuring Support Agreement and the Plan provide, in
pertinent part, as follows:
* Within (2) Business Days of effectiveness of the

prepay a principal amount of Term Loans (as defined in the DIP
Credit Agreement) and accrued and unpaid interest thereon pursuant
to Section 2.05(a) of the DIP Credit Agreement;
* Upon the satisfaction of the foregoing prepayment, the
Consenting DIP Lenders, constituting Required DIP Lenders, will

Agreement, provided the Debtors maintain at least $239 million in
the Encumbered Accounts, which amount shall constitute Encumbered

used, accessed, or otherwise diminished without the prior written
consent of the Required Consenting DIP Lenders;

investments, and securities from the Encumbered Accounts, during
the Agreement Effective Period, provided that the Debtors maintain
at all times not less than $200 million in the Encumbered Accounts,
which amount shall constitute Encumbered Cash (as defined in the
Final DIP Order) and shall not be further used, accessed, or
otherwise diminished without the prior written consent of the
Required Consenting DIP Lenders (as determined in their sole
discretion). The Consenting DIP Lenders, constituting Required DIP
Lenders, will be deemed not to have consented to such request
unless the Required Consenting DIP Lenders deliver a written
response to the Debtors (including via email from counsel)
approving such request (as determined in their sole discretion)
within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof. If the Required
Consenting DIP Lenders do not timely approve the Debtors' request,
the Restructuring Support Agreement will automatically terminate;
* The Consenting DIP Lenders, constituting Required DIP
Lenders, will waive the Debtors' obligation to comply with the
covenants set forth in Sections 6.01(c) and 6.01(f)(B) of the DIP
Credit Agreement and agree that they will request update calls
under Section 6.19 of the DIP Credit Agreement not more often than
once every other week or in the event of a material change in the
Debtors' business;
* On the Plan Effective Date, the Debtors will make a payment
of $100 million of Encumbered Cash in the Specified Encumbered
Accounts (as such terms are defined in the Final DIP Order) to
Holders of Allowed New Money DIP Loan Superpriority Claims and/or
Allowed Roll-Up DIP Loan Superpriority Claims (subject to and as
such terms are defined in the Plan)
* On the Plan Effective Date, the Company (as reorganized,
"Reorganized Spirit") will issue new equity interests, which may

subject to dilution on account of the Management Incentive Plan and
the Class 5 Settlement Distribution (each as defined in the Plan);
and

the form of warrants, pro rata to holders of Prepetition Secured
Notes and/or Contingent Roll-Up Term Loans, subject to dilution on
account of the Management Incentive Plan (as defined in the Plan);
* On the Plan Effective Date, the reorganized Debtors will
issue senior secured loans, the material terms of which are
described in the Exit Secured Loans Facility Term Sheet attached as
Exhibit B to the Restructuring Support Agreement, pro rata to
holders of Roll-Up DIP Loans;
* Distributable Sale Proceeds from the disposition of
Specified Assets will be distributed to holders of New Money DIP

facility, the material terms of which will be filed in the Plan
Supplement; or

terms of which will be filed with the Plan Supplement, and
(ii) a $200 million revolving credit facility, which
shall be on the same terms as the Prepetition Revolving Credit
Facility (as defined in the Plan), with only such modifications as
are necessary to reflect the issuance of the Class 4 Term Loan
Facility;
* Discussions with other stakeholders, including lessors and
holders of secured aircraft indebtedness, remain ongoing;
* All General Unsecured Claims (as defined in the Plan) will
be cancelled without any distributions to the holders of such
claims; and
* All of the Company's existing common stock and other equity
interests will be cancelled without any distributions to the
holders of such common stock and other equity interests on account
thereof.
The Restructuring Support Agreement includes certain milestones for
the progress of the Chapter 11 Cases and the Plan, which include
the dates by which the Debtors are required to, among other things,
obtain certain court orders and consummate the transactions
contemplated therein. Failure to meet these milestones allows the
Restructuring Support Agreement to be terminated by the Consenting
DIP Lenders.
In addition, signatories to the Restructuring Support Agreement
have the right to terminate the Restructuring Support Agreement
under certain circumstances, including if the board of directors of
the Company determines in good faith, based on the advice of
counsel, that performance under the Restructuring Support Agreement
would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties as set forth
therein. The Plan remains subject to Bankruptcy Court approval and
the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent. Accordingly, no
assurance can be given that the transactions described in the
Restructuring Support Agreement or the Plan will be consummated.

STANDARD FREIGHT: Gets Interim OK to Use Cash Collateral
--------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida,
Jacksonville Division issued an interim order authorizing Standard
Freight Logistics, Inc. to use cash collateral on an interim basis.
Under the interim order, the Debtor is authorized to use cash
collateral to pay court-approved expenses, U.S. Trustee quarterly
fees, and necessary operating costs outlined in the budget, with a
permitted variance of up to 10% per line item. Any additional
expenditures require written approval from the secured creditor, JW
Capital Source, LLC. This authority remains in place until further
order of the court.
Secured creditors will be granted a replacement lien on
post-petition cash collateral, maintaining the same priority and
validity as their pre-petition liens without additional filings.
Standard Freight Logistics must comply with all
debtor-in-possession obligations, including maintaining proper
insurance and granting the secured creditor reasonable access to
inspect business records and premises.
The order is entered without prejudice, preserving the rights of
all parties, including any future creditors’' committee.
A continued hearing is scheduled for April 14.

SURF CLEAN: Seeks Cash Collateral Access
----------------------------------------
Surf Clean Energy, Inc asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Eastern District of New York for authority to use cash collateral
and provide adequate protection.
The Debtor explained that its immediate need for cash collateral
arises from ongoing operational expenses, including payroll, rent,
inventory, insurance, and other necessary costs to maintain
business continuity, particularly in light of prior disruptions
caused by merchant cash advance obligations, the bankruptcy of a
major receivable Debtor (PosiGen), and industry-wide impacts from
the 2025 Big Beautiful Bill, which eliminated key solar tax
incentives. Without immediate access to these funds, the Debtor
asserted that it would face irreparable harm, potentially ceasing
operations and laying off employees.
To protect JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., the Debtor proposed granting
a post-petition replacement lien on all assets of the company,
excluding Chapter 5 causes of action, to the extent of any
diminution in value, as well as including a carve-out for U.S.
Trustee and Subchapter V trustee fees in the proposed order.
The Debtor projected, through a budget, operational expenses
reasonably expected through April 19, 2026, and indicated that
future budgets would govern continued use of cash collateral.

TALPHERA INC: Completes Third Closing of $4.1MM Private Placement
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Talphera, Inc. previously disclosed that it entered into a
securities purchase agreement, or the Purchase Agreement, with
several institutional investors and a member of management,
relating to the issuance and sale in a private placement in three
separate tranches of:
(i) shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share
and
(ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of common stock.
The first closing of the private placement occurred on April 2,
2025, and on October 21, 2025, certain Purchasers waived the
conditions of subsections 2.3(a)(i) and 2.4(a)(i) of the Purchase
Agreement to effect both the second closing and third closing of
the private placement with respect to such Purchasers only
(collectively, the Optional Closing).
On March 6, 2026, the Company achieved the conditions of subsection
2.4(a)(i) of the Purchase Agreement to effect the third closing of
the private placement and, on March 13, 2026, issued and sold to
the Purchasers who did not participate in the Optional Closing
(collectively, the Third Closing):
* 639,931 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.586
per share; and
* Pre-funded warrants at a purchase price of $0.585 per
pre-funded warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,399,316
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share.
The pre-funded warrants will be exercisable immediately following
the Third Closing and have an unlimited term and an exercise price
of $0.001 per share.
The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company from Third Closing of
the private placement were approximately $4.1 million, and
excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the pre-funded
warrants issued at the Third Closing.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations,
warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to
closing, and indemnification obligations of the Company and the
Purchasers. The representations, warranties and covenants contained
in the Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of the
Purchase Agreement and as of a specific date, were solely for the
benefit of the parties to the respective Purchase Agreement, and
may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting
parties.
Registration Rights Agreement
As previously disclosed, on March 31, 2025, the Company also
entered into a registration rights agreement with the Purchasers,
or the Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which we have
agreed to file registration statements under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, with the SEC, covering the
resale of the shares of common stock to be issued in the private
placement and the shares of common stock underlying the pre-funded
warrants no later than 15 days following the applicable closing
date, and to use reasonable best efforts to have the registration
statement declared effective as promptly as practical thereafter,
and in any event no later than 90 days following the applicable
closing date in the event of a "full review" by the SEC.
Sale of Unregistered Securities
Based in part upon the representations of the Purchasers in the
Purchase Agreement, the offering and sale of the securities were
offered and sold in a private placement under Section 4(a)(2) of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and
Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and have not been registered
under the Securities Act, or applicable state securities laws.
Accordingly, such securities may not be offered or sold in the
United States except pursuant to an effective registration
statement or an applicable exemption from the registration
requirement of the Securities Act and such applicable state
securities laws.

suffered recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from

incur operating losses and negative cash flows in the future. These
matters raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern.

W&J SUBSHOPS: Seeks Continued Cash Collateral Access
----------------------------------------------------
W&J Subshops, LLC asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central
District of California, Riverside Division, for authority to use
cash collateral and provide adequate protection.
The Debtor asserts that access to cash collateral is essential to
pay ordinary business expenses—including food, royalties, rent,
utilities, payroll, taxes, and insurance—necessary to operate its
stores and preserve the value of its assets while pursuing a plan
to sell the stores.
The Debtor's assets, valued at approximately $699,100, are subject
to secured claims totaling $760,706 from creditors including the
U.S. Small Business Administration, North Mill Credit Trust, Pawnee
Leasing Corporation, and others, with priority creditors including
the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration and San
Bernardino County Tax Collector.
The Debtor attributes its financial difficulties to rising labor
costs and mandatory store remodels, which reduced customer traffic
and hindered its ability to meet financial obligations.
To protect creditors' interests, the Debtor proposes granting the
SBA replacement liens on post-petition assets, continuing monthly
adequate protection payments to the SBA, and maintaining regular
payments on equipment loans, while other undersecured creditors
would have claims treated as general unsecured claims under the
reorganization plan.
A court hearing is set for April 9.

WINDSOR HOLDINGS III: Fitch Affirms B+ LongTerm IDR, Outlook Stable
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed Windsor Holdings III, LLC's (d/b/a
Univar Solutions) Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at 'B+'.
Fitch has also affirmed the long-term ratings for the company's
senior secured term loans and notes at 'BB-' with a Recovery Rating
of 'RR3', and the ABL revolver at 'BB+'/'RR1'. The Rating Outlook
remains Stable.
The 'B+' IDR reflects Univar's leading and defensive market
position in chemicals and ingredients distribution, as well as its
high but sustainable leverage. The rating also incorporates the
issuer's resilient EBITDA margins, solid FCF generation, and strong
liquidity.
The Stable Outlook reflects Fitch's expectations for EBITDA
leverage to remain between 5.5x and 6.5x through the forecast
horizon.
Key Rating Drivers
Stable Cash Flow: Fitch expects Univar to sustain positive FCF
generation following its solid performance in a challenging 2025
landscape. The FCF forecast remains supported by resilient EBITDA
margins, low capex requirements, and countercyclical working
capital dynamics. This is despite flat to modest expected earnings
growth near term, assuming continued soft global chemicals demand.
Fitch anticipates limited unmitigated cost impacts from Middle East
conflict-related supply chain disruptions given Univar's extensive
distribution network, majority domestic sourcing, sourcing
flexibility, and an ability to pass through incremental logistics
costs.
Univar's 2025 operating performance was stable amid soft demand and
pricing pressure seen throughout chemicals markets, with
preliminary reported EBITDA only modestly lower yoy and strong FCF
despite approximately 3% lower sales. The issuer's delivered gross
profit — defined as gross profit (exclusive of depreciation) less
outbound freight and handling expenses — slightly improved,
demonstrating the benefits of Univar's cost management, pricing
discipline, and product mix. Countercyclical working capital
dynamics and market share gains in light of a continued trend of
supplier outsourcing also supported earnings.
High but Sustainable Leverage: Fitch expects Univar's EBITDA
leverage to trend around 5.5x-6.0x through the forecast, reflecting
the $500 million dividend recapitalization in February 2024 and
moderate EBITDA growth. Univar held its debt balances roughly flat
through 2025, as countercyclical working capital aided FCF while
M&A activity was light. Fitch believes the 2024 dividend
recapitalization represented an opportunistic capital allocation
strategy and an appetite for leveraging transactions. An increase
in debt-funded acquisitions or special dividends may pressure
credit metrics if not balanced with equity contributions or
meaningful subsequent debt reduction.
Disciplined Acquisition Activity: Fitch expects Univar to continue
focusing on organic and inorganic investments to accelerate growth
of the business, and that bolt-on acquisition spending remains
disciplined relative to cash flow generation. The issuer completed
one $36 million acquisition in 2025 for European distributors
Brad-Chem Holdings Limited and Brad-Kem BV, which was funded with
cash. Fitch expects that any materially leveraging transaction
would be supported by a credible plan to bring EBITDA leverage back
to the 5.5x-6.5x range within 24 months and for increased
penetration into stable end markets to be favorable toward Univar's
business profile.
Resilient Margins: Univar has successfully improved
Fitch-calculated EBITDA margins in recent years by implementing
various operational cost-reduction initiatives, pruning or
divesting lower margin or non-core products, investing in
logistics, and building out its solutions centers. The company aims
to focus on growing its Ingredients and Specialty business
(reported by Univar to be approximately 40% of gross profit)
through further market share gains and new partnerships, which
should support stronger margins going forward. Fitch expects Univar
to maintain Fitch-calculated EBITDA margins close to the low 8%
range through the forecast horizon.
Leading Position in Fragmented Market: Univar is better positioned
to navigate logistical challenges and counterparty risk than
smaller competitors due to its size, operational scale and
diversification. The global chemical distribution market is highly
fragmented, with an estimated market size of roughly $200 billion
and the top two distributors accounting for about 10% of the
market. The company maintains the largest chemicals and ingredients
sales force in North America, the broadest product offering and an
increasingly efficient supply chain network, allowing Univar to
continue to grow by leveraging its footprint to cover more
products, customers and regions.
Peer Analysis
Univar is the second-largest global chemical distributor behind
Brenntag AG and is the largest North American chemical distributor
in a fragmented industry. Fitch compares Univar with IT distributor
Arrow Electronics, Inc. (BBB-/Stable) and metals distributor
Reliance Inc. (BBB+/Stable).
Each of these distributors benefits from significant size, scale
and diversification compared with peers within their markets. The
fragmented nature of and potential for continued outsourcing within
chemicals distribution provides Univar a unique opportunity to
increase market share and capture potential market expansion.
Supported by an unmatched value-added service offering, Univar
generates stronger EBITDA margins than Arrow Electronics.
Fitch views cash flow risk within the distribution industry as
relatively low compared with chemicals producers due to the limited
commodity price risk, diversification of customers and end markets,
low annual capex requirements of 1%-2% of revenue, and
countercyclical working capital dynamics. While technology and
metals distribution market risks differ, the overall operating
performances and cash flow resiliency are similar with FCF margins
for these distribution peers averaging in the low to mid-single
digits over the past five years. Univar's financial structure is
weaker than the peer set with expectations for EBITDA leverage to
trend between 5.5x and 6.5x.
Fitch’s Key Rating-Case Assumptions
- Organic sales growth remains muted through 2027, followed by
growth exceeding GDP thereafter;
- Fitch-calculated EBITDA margins trend around the low 8% range;
- Capex spending remains around $120 million annually;
- Excess FCF is applied to bolt-on acquisitions.
Corporate Rating Tool Inputs and Scores
Fitch scored the issuer as follows, using its Corporate Rating Tool
(CRT) to produce the Standalone Credit Profile (SCP):
- Business and financial profile factors (assessment, relative
importance): Management (b+, Lower), Sector Characteristics (bb,
Moderate), Market and Competitive Positioning (bbb, Higher),
Diversification and Asset Quality (bbb-, Moderate), Company
Operational Characteristics (bb, Moderate), Profitability (bb,
Moderate), Financial Structure (b-, Higher), and Financial
Flexibility (b+, Moderate).
- The quantitative financial subfactors are based on custom CRT
financial period parameters: 20% weight for the forecast year 2025,
40% for the forecast year 2026 and 40% for the forecast year 2027.
- 'B+' to 'CC' considerations apply in its analysis and result in
no adjustment.
- The Governance assessment of 'Good' results in no adjustment.
- The Operating Environment assessment of 'aa-' results in no
adjustment.
- The SCP is 'b+'.
Recovery Analysis
The recovery analysis assumes Univar would be reorganized as a
going concern (GC) in bankruptcy rather than liquidated. Fitch
assumed a 10% administrative claim and that the $1.4 billion ABL is
80% drawn. This is due to the likelihood the ABL borrowing base
will gradually reduce in a distressed scenario as the pricing
environment declines over time.
GC Approach
Fitch projects Univar's GC EBITDA at $650 million, which assumes a
rebound from an assumed trough EBITDA of around $640 million. This
reflects an improvement in the underlying economic conditions that
would have likely precipitated the default and corrective actions
taken during restructuring, or actions that would be priced in by
potential bidders. This compares to around $640 million in
Fitch-calculated EBITDA generated by Univar in the 2020 trough
period.
The GC EBITDA estimate reflects Fitch's view of a sustainable,
post-reorganization EBITDA level upon which it bases the enterprise
valuation. Specifically, the GC EBITDA depicts a sustained economic
contraction in North America resulting in severe, prolonged volume
headwinds that more than offset working capital releases. Fitch
assumes that upon default, Univar would be unable to improve EBITDA
as economic and industry headwinds would likely limit the benefits
of cost reductions. However, Fitch assumes the underlying business
fundamentals would improve over time as the cycle corrects, leading
to the assumed GC EBITDA.
Fitch applies a 6.0x enterprise value multiple to the GC EBITDA to
calculate a post-reorganization enterprise value. The choice of
this multiple considers the company's high-quality asset profile
including a worldwide chemical and ingredient distribution network,
various product transportation assets, technical development
assets, and a leading proprietary e-commerce platform. Fitch
considers these competitive advantages unique relative to most
chemical companies, which typically employ a more asset-light
approach with a more limited set of value-added assets.
These assumptions result in a recovery rating for the ABL within
the 'RR1' range to generate a three-notch uplift to the issue
rating from the IDR. The assumptions also lead to a recovery rating
for the senior secured term loans and notes of 'RR3', generating a
one-notch uplift from the IDR.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Negative
Rating Action/Downgrade
- EBITDA leverage sustained above 6.5x;
- A sustained reduction in EBITDA margins or ineffective working
capital management leading to weaker FCF generation and financial
flexibility;
- A large transformational debt-funded acquisition or dividend
recapitalization where there is no clear path to deleveraging
within 24 months.
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Positive
Rating Action/Upgrade
- Gross debt reduction leading to EBITDA leverage sustained below
5.5x;
- Balanced allocation of FCF that maintains balance sheet
flexibility along with a commitment to lower leverage.
Liquidity and Debt Structure
Univar has strong liquidity totaling approximately $1.1 billion at
YE25, consisting of $196 million in cash and $897 million in
availability under the ABL revolver. The issuer's stable FCF
generation further supports liquidity through the forecast.
The company has a manageable maturity profile with no material
maturities until the ABL facility in 2028, followed by the term
loans and notes in 2030, beyond scheduled term loan amortization.
Issuer Profile
Windsor Holdings III, LLC is an issuing holding company that wholly
owns Univar Solutions, LLC and its subsidiaries. Univar is a
leading global chemical and ingredients distribution company and
provider of value-added services, working with leading suppliers
worldwide.
MACROECONOMIC ASSUMPTIONS AND SECTOR FORECASTS

The results of its Climate.VS screener did not indicate an elevated
risk for Windsor Holdings Ill, LLC.
ESG Considerations
The highest level of ESG credit relevance is a score of '3', unless
otherwise disclosed in this section. A score of '3' means ESG
issues are credit-neutral or have only a minimal credit impact on
the entity, either due to their nature or the way in which they are
being managed by the entity. Fitch's ESG Relevance Scores are not
inputs in the rating process; they are an observation on the
relevance and materiality of ESG factors in the rating decision.

ZUUM TRANSPORTATION: Gets Court OK to Use Cash Collateral
---------------------------------------------------------
Zuum Transportation Inc. received approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Central District of California, Santa Ana Division,
to continue using cash collateral and provide adequate protection,
through April 5, as it pivots from a traditional reorganization to
a "going concern" Sale Process under Section 363.
The Debtor, which operates a proprietary Transportation Management
Software platform, initially intended to reorganize internally but
determined it could not monetize revenue quickly enough to fund a
full Chapter 11 plan. This strategic shift to a sale was a
prerequisite for continued support from its primary secured
creditors, Wex Bank (owed approximately $4.5 million) and Trinity
Capital (owed approximately $4.68 million), who hold senior and
junior liens respectively on the company’s cash, accounts
receivable, and intellectual property.
The Debtor has already made significant strides in its sale efforts
by coordinating with 48 potential purchasers, executing
non-disclosure agreements with five serious parties—including
major industry players like Estes—and completing a technical
"code audit" of its TMS platform. To maintain its lending support,
the Debtor is required to file a formal Sale Motion by March 20,
2026. Zuum argues that maintaining its business as a "going
concern" through this process is the only way to ensure any
recovery for general unsecured creditors, who would otherwise
receive nothing in a Chapter 7 "fire sale" liquidation.
To secure the lenders' consent for this short-term bridge, the
Debtor negotiated a specific "CC Stipulation" that mandates strict
adherence to a "bare bones" operating budget focused on maintaining
the software's functionality.
As adequate protection, Zuum has agreed to pay Trinity an initial
$388,604.09 from an IRS Employee Retention Credit payment, with the
remaining $1.1 million in expected ERC funds to be held in a
segregated account. Furthermore, to address an immediate crisis, a
side Payroll Agreement was reached to use $40,000 specifically to
fund the March 13, 2026, payroll. This funding is critical to
prevent the resignation of essential technical staff who are
necessary to keep the TMS Platform operational and preserve the
company's remaining goodwill for a potential buyer.
The next hearing is set for March 31.
The order is available at https://is.gd/T0jP0u from
PacerMonitor.com.

Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. C.D. Cal. Case No. 25-13127) on November 6,
2025. In the petition signed by Matt Tabatabai, chief executive
officer, the Debtor listed between $10 million and $50 million in
both assets and liabilities.
Judge Mark D. Houle oversees the case.
