40 FULLER AVE: Available Cash & Loan Modification to Fund Plan
--------------------------------------------------------------
40 Fuller Ave LLC filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of New Jersey an Original Disclosure Statement describing
Plan of Reorganization dated May 11, 2026.
The Debtor was formed in October 2022. The Debtor is the owner of a
one family house located a 40 Fuller Ave, Piscataway, NJ. The sole
member of the Debtor is Tahira Rafaqat.
This property had been utilized as a rental property since 2022.
The rents are not sufficient to pay the mortgage but the spouse of
the principal of the Debtor continuing contributed funds to the
business. Unfortunately, his business has suffered and he has not
been able to contribute all the necessary funds to pay the full
amount of the mortgage. The Debtor also had to make some
significant renovations to the property causing the Debtor to fall
behind.
This is a reorganizing plan. In other words, the Proponent seeks to
accomplish payments under the Plan by refinancing the property. The
Effective Date of the proposed Plan is July 2026.
The Debtor is proposing to claims. Pay all creditors in full to the
extent of the allowed claims and to allow the Debtor to retain the
property.
The total amount of monthly payments due under the Plan is $100.00.
The Debtor believes that based upon its current financial statement
that the principal of the Debtor who has funded the monthly
payments to the secured creditor throughout the bankruptcy case,
will be able to continue to make the monthly payment until the
Debtor will be able to refinance the property.
Class 3 consists of General Unsecured Claims. This Class shall be
paid 100% of any unsecured claims.
Class 4 consists of Equity Interest Holders. Tahira Rafaqat shall
retain his interest in the company.
The Debtor intends to fund the Plan as follows:
* Cash on Hand
* The Debtor will be seeking loan modification on the property
within 6 months.
* The Spouse of the Principal of the Debtor will assist the
Debtor to fund the plan as necessary.
* If the loan modification is denied the Debtor will make good
faith payments of $4500.00 for 24 months. At the end of the 24
months the Debtor will either refinance the property or sell the
property.

AMERICAN SIGNATURE: Judge OKs Tariff Refund Sale in Ch. 11 Case
---------------------------------------------------------------
Clara Geoghegan of Law360 reports that a Delaware bankruptcy judge
has authorized American Signature Inc. to sell its federal tariff
refund claims for $7.2 million during its ongoing Chapter 11
proceedings. The claims stem from tariffs the retailer previously
paid that were later struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Court documents indicate the sale recovers about 77% of the total
value of the disputed tariffs. The company said the agreement
provides immediate financial value and avoids the uncertainty and
delays associated with continuing to pursue refunds through
litigation or administrative review.
The judge approved the transaction after determining it represented
a reasonable and beneficial deal for the bankruptcy estate. The
proceeds are expected to strengthen the company’s liquidity
position while helping support creditor recoveries and operational
restructuring efforts, the report states.
American Signature entered Chapter 11 to reorganize its finances
amid broader challenges facing the retail and furniture sectors.
The tariff claim sale is one of several steps the retailer has
taken to maximize asset value and improve its financial position
during bankruptcy proceedings, according to Law360.

ASCEND ELEMENTS: Creditors Seek Chapter 7 Conversion
----------------------------------------------------
Vince Sullivan of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that a pair
of creditors in the bankruptcy case of Ascend Elements Inc. have
urged a Texas bankruptcy court to convert the company's Chapter 11
proceedings into a Chapter 7 liquidation. The creditors argued the
debtor has failed to demonstrate a realistic restructuring strategy
capable of preserving enterprise value.
In filings submitted late Tuesday, May 19, 2026, the creditors
claimed the company's financial condition continues to deteriorate
and that ongoing Chapter 11 expenses are reducing recoveries
available to stakeholders. They maintained that liquidation would
provide a more orderly and efficient resolution of the bankruptcy
case.
The request places additional scrutiny on Ascend Elements'
restructuring efforts as the court evaluates whether the company
can remain in Chapter 11. If approved, the conversion would shift
the case into liquidation proceedings overseen by a Chapter 7
trustee, the report states.

ASHFORD HOSPITALITY: Dallas Embassy Suites Sold for $17MM in Cash
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ashford Hospitality Trust, Inc. announced in a regulatory filing
that Ashford Dallas LP, an indirect subsidiary of the company,
completed the sale of the 150-room Embassy Suites by Hilton Dallas
Near the Galleria located in Dallas, Texas pursuant to an Agreement
of Purchase and Sale, dated as of March 26, 2026, by and between

About Ashford Hospitality
Ashford Hospitality Trust is a real estate investment trust (REIT)
focused on investing predominantly in upper upscale, full-service
hotels.
Dallas, Texas-based BDO USA, P.C., the Company's auditor since
2015, issued a "going concern" qualification in its report dated
March 20, 2026, attached to the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, citing that the
Company has final debt maturities within one year from the date the
financial statements are issued, which raise substantial doubt
about its ability to continue as a going concern.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $2.8 billion in total
assets and $3.2 billion in total liabilities, and total
stockholders' deficit of $610.8 million.
ASPIRA OF DELAWARE: S&P Assigns 'BB' Rating on 2026A-B Rev. Bonds
-----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'BB' long-term rating to the
Delaware Economic Development Authority's approximately 17.1
million series 2026A and $445,000 series 2026B charter school
revenue bonds, issued for ASPIRA of Delaware Charter Operations
Inc. (dba Las Américas ASPIRA Academy, or LAAA).
At the same time, S&P Global Ratings affirmed its 'BB' rating on
LAAA's series 2016 and 2022 bonds.
The outlook is stable.
S&P said, "We have analyzed LAAA's environmental, social, and
governance (ESG) factors and view them as neutral in our credit
rating analysis.
"The stable outlook reflects our expectation that during the
one-year outlook period, LAAA will sustain enrollment and pro forma
debt service coverage at levels that are least consistent with
covenanted levels as well as liquidity metrics that are in line
with the rating level and similarly-sized peers.
"We could consider a negative rating action if LAAA's enrollment
profile or academic results weaken materially or if a trend of
weakened operating performance leads to a material deterioration of
liquidity. Additionally, if the school is unable to execute its
management transition plan, we would view this negatively.
"While unlikely following the current debt issuance, we could
consider a positive rating action if the school demonstrates a
trend of healthy operating margins, such that debt service coverage
and liquidity ratios improve to levels commensurate with those of
its higher-rated peers."
ASPIRE BAKERIES: Moody's Affirms 'B2' CFR, Outlook Stable
---------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Ratings affirmed Aspire Bakeries Holdings, LLC's ("Aspire")
B2 Corporate Family Rating and B2-PD Probability of Default Rating.
Moody's concurrently affirmed the B2 rating on the company's first
lien senior secured debt that includes a revolving credit facility
and an upsized term loan. The rating actions follow the announced
dividend recapitalization. The rating outlook is stable.
Aspire is proposing a $160 million fungible add-on to its existing
US dollar first lien term loan due 2030. Proceeds from the add-on,
together with cash on hand, will be used to fund a $200 million
dividend distribution to investors. The transaction is credit
negative because it increases debt-to-EBITDA leverage by nearly one
turn to the low 6x range (Moody's-adjusted) and raises annual
interest expense by approximately $10 million. Moody's views the
dividend as aggressive because it is increasing debt and leverage,
and reducing cash at a time when Aspire is in the midst of a period
of high capital spending to fund new capacity and capabilities that
is limiting free cash flow, and cautious consumer spending on
food.
Nonetheless, Moody's affirmed the B2 CFR and maintained the stable
outlook because Moody's expects leverage to decline below 5.5x over
the next 12–18 months, supported by mid-single-digit EBITDA
growth driven by new business wins and a shift toward higher
value-added products. The capacity expansion is supported by new
business wins including some with volume commitments from existing
customers. The rating affirmation also reflects Aspire's good
liquidity, including access to an undrawn $200 million revolving
credit facility maturing in December 2028 and approximately $23
million of cash as of April 25, 2026, pro forma for the dividend
distribution. Moody's expects the company to generate $25-$50
million of free cash flow over the next 12 months. Capital spending
will remain elevated over this period to support capacity expansion
tied to recent wins.
Near-term operating performance may be pressured by volume softness
amid cautious consumer spending and increasing consumer focus on
health and wellness. In addition, geopolitical conflict in the
Middle East may contribute to inflationary pressure on key inputs,
including transportation, fuel, and packaging. While the company's
pass-through pricing arrangements provide some mitigation against
input cost volatility, downside risk remains due to potential
customer pushback on pricing and timing lags in cost recovery.
Despite these pressures, Aspire is well positioned in foodservice,
with significant exposure to QSR customers that offer a strong
value proposition relative to other food away-from-home options.
Many of its large QSR customers are benefiting from traffic driving
initiatives focused on value and innovation. The company also
benefits from recent business wins, particularly in artisan bread,
supported by the ongoing shift among large retailers and
foodservice operators toward strategic suppliers as they streamline
operations amid rising labor costs.
RATINGS RATIONALE
Aspire's B2 CFR reflects its modest scale, thin operating margin,
and narrow product concentration within the food sector. The rating
also reflects event risk associated with private equity ownership,
highlighted by the high leverage following the 2024
recapitalization and proposed distribution to investors. Aspire's
rating is supported by its leading market positions in breads,
cookies, donuts and muffins within US foodservice channels, as well
as long-standing relationships with key customers. Aspire is a
strategic supplier to many large foodservice and retail customers,
benefiting from the ongoing shift toward supplier consolidation as
customers streamline operations amid rising labor costs. Operating
profit growth over the next year may be restrained by volume
softness amid cautious consumer spending and increasing consumer
focus on health and wellness. In addition, geopolitical conflict in
the Middle East may contribute to inflationary pressure on key
inputs, including transportation, fuel, and packaging. While the
company's pass-through pricing arrangements provide some mitigation
against input cost volatility, downside risk remains due to
potential customer pushback on pricing and timing lags in cost
recovery.
FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS
The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectations that Aspire will
maintain good liquidity, including positive free cash flow, and
grow revenue and EBITDA through committed new business volume,
leading to a reduction in debt-to-EBITDA leverage to below 5.5x
over the next 12–18 months.
A rating upgrade could occur if Aspire meaningfully increases
scale, sustainably grows earnings supported by consistent revenue
and EBITDA margin expansion, maintains good liquidity, and
generates consistent solid free cash flow. Aspire would also need
to maintain a financial policy consistent with sustaining
debt-to-EBITDA below 4.0x to be upgraded.
A rating downgrade could occur if operating earnings do not
increase due to factors such as volume weakness, slow ramp up of
new business, pricing pressure or cost increases, the financial
policy becomes more aggressive, liquidity deteriorates, or free
cash flow is not sustained at a comfortably positive level. A
downgrade could also occur if debt-to-EBITDA is sustained above
5.5x.
PRINCIPAL METHODOLOGY
The principal methodology used in these ratings was Consumer
Packaged Goods published in February 2026.
The net effect of any adjustments applied to rating factor scores
or scorecard outputs under the primary methodology(ies), if any,
was not material to the ratings addressed in this announcement.

About Atara Biotherapeutics
Atara Biotherapeutics, Inc. -- atarabio.com -- is a biotechnology
Company focused on developing off-the-shelf cell therapies that
harness the power of the immune system to treat difficult-to-treat
cancers and autoimmune conditions. With cutting-edge science and
differentiated approach, Atara is the first Company in the world to
receive regulatory approval of an allogeneic T-cell immunotherapy.
The Company's advanced and versatile T-cell platform does not
require T-cell receptor or HLA gene editing and forms the basis of
a diverse portfolio of investigational therapies that target EBV,
the root cause of certain diseases, in addition to next-generation
AlloCAR-Ts designed for best-in-class opportunities across a broad
range of hematological malignancies and B-cell driven autoimmune
diseases. Atara is headquartered in Southern California.
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.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $20.2 million in total
assets and $58.7 million in total liabilities, and total
stockholders' deficit of $38.5 million.
ATARA BIOTHERAPEUTICS: Posts $4.1M Loss in Q1, Warns of Cash Crunch
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Atara Biotherapeutics, Inc. has filed its Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, reporting a
net loss of $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026,
compared to a net loss of $38 million for the same period in the
prior year. Commercialization Revenue for the three months ended
March 31, 2026 were $516 thousand, compared to $98.1 million in the
prior-year period.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had total cash and cash
equivalents of $8.4 million. The Company's existing cash, cash
equivalents and short-term investments as of March 31, 2026 will
not be sufficient to fund its planned operations for at least the
next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial
statements. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern for at least 12
months after the issuance of the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements.
To alleviate the conditions that raise substantial doubt about its
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
also need to raise additional funding as required based on the
status of its development program and its projected cash flows.
Although the Company has 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 it to fund continuing operations, if
at all, or identify and enter into any strategic transactions that
will provide the capital that it will require.
The Company expects to expend substantial resources for the
foreseeable future to continue its operations. Under the terms of
its license agreements with each of its in-license partners, the
Company is obligated to make payments upon the achievement of
certain development, regulatory and commercial milestones. In
addition, other unanticipated costs may arise. Because the design
and outcome of the Company's ongoing, planned and anticipated
clinical studies is highly uncertain, the Company cannot reasonably
estimate the actual amounts necessary to successfully complete the
development and commercialization of its product and product
candidates.
The Company's future capital requirements depend on many factors,
including: the scope, progress, results and costs of researching
and developing tab-cel, and conducting clinical studies; the timing
of, and the costs involved in, obtaining regulatory approvals for
tab-cel, including any costs from post-market requirements; the
Company's ability to establish and maintain strategic licensing or
other arrangements and the financial terms of such agreements; the
costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining,
expanding, defending and enforcing patent claims, including
litigation costs and the outcome of such litigation; the timing,
receipt and amount of sales of, or royalties on tab-cel; and the
emergence of competing technologies or other adverse market
developments.
The Company's operating plan may change as a result of many factors
currently unknown to it, and the Company may need additional funds
sooner than planned. The Company does not have any committed
external source of funds other than milestone and royalty payments
that it may receive under the A&R Commercialization Agreement,
subject to the terms of the HCRx Agreement. The Company does not
retain any meaningful milestone or royalty payments related to the
Initial Territory from Pierre Fabre until the applicable royalty
cap under the HCRx Agreement is met, if at all.
In addition, as of the date of the filing of the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, its
public float was less than $75 million. As a result, the Company is
subject to the limitations of General Instruction I.B.6 to Form S-3
until such time as its public float exceeds $75 million, which
means the Company only has the capacity to sell shares up to
one-third of its public float under shelf registration statements
in any twelve-month period. The Company will remain constrained by
the limitations of General Instruction I.B.6 to Form S-3 until such
time as its public float exceeds $75 million, at which time the
number of securities it may sell under a Form S-3 registration
statement will no longer be limited by limitations of General
Instruction I.B.6 to Form S-3. If the Company is unable to obtain
sufficient funding on acceptable terms, it could be forced to
delay, limit, reduce or terminate ongoing activities of its product
candidate, as well as its exploration of strategic alternatives,
which could have a material adverse effect on its business, results
of operations, and financial condition.

ATM INVESTMENT: Commences Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in Florida
----------------------------------------------------------
On May 15, 2026, ATM Investment Property 1700 LLC filed for Chapter

AVALON GLOBOCARE: Loss Widens to $4.5MM in Q1, Warns of Cash Crunch
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Avalon Globocare Corp. has filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, reporting a net
loss of $4,479,695 for the three months ended March 31, 2026,
compared to a net loss of $2,482,111 for the same period in the
prior year.
Income From Equity Method Investment - Lab Services MSO for the
three months ended March 31, 2026 were $NIL, compared to $392,677
in the prior-year period.
The Company had a working capital deficit of approximately
$2,774,000 at March 31, 2026 and had incurred recurring net losses
from continuing operations and generated negative cash flow from
operating activities of continuing operations of approximately
$4,377,000 and $2,860,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2026, respectively.
The Company has a limited operating history, and its continued
growth is dependent upon the continuation of generating revenue for
selling of Keto Air, generating revenue from advanced Agentic AI
systems, including automated video generation and small business
marketing automation, and obtaining additional financing to fund
future obligations and pay liabilities arising from normal business
operations.
In addition, the current cash balance cannot be projected to cover
the operating expenses for the next 12 months from May 11, 2026,
the release date of the Company's quarterly report. These matters
raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as
a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going
concern is dependent on the Company's ability to raise additional
capital, implement its business plan, and generate significant
revenue. There are no assurances that the Company will be
successful in its efforts to generate significant revenue, maintain
sufficient cash balance or report profitable operations or to
continue as a going concern.
The Company plans on raising capital through the sale of equity to
implement its business plan. However, there is no assurance these
plans will be realized and that any additional financings will be
available to the Company on satisfactory terms and conditions, if
any.

BADGER INFRASTRUCTURE: DBRS Assigns 'BB(high)' Issuer Rating
------------------------------------------------------------
DBRS Limited (Morningstar DBRS) assigned an Issuer Rating of BB
(high) to Badger Infrastructure Solutions Ltd. (Badger or the
Company) and a provisional credit rating of (P) BB to the Company's
proposed Senior Unsecured Notes (the Notes), both with Stable
trends. The Recovery Rating on the proposed Notes is RR5.
KEY CREDIT RATING CONSIDERATIONS
Badger's credit ratings are supported by the Company's market
position as the leader within the niche North American
non-destructive excavation industry, strong customer
diversification, expansive network across North America, and its
strong financial profile. The credit ratings also consider the
capital-intensive nature of Badger's operations, its exposure to
cyclicality in some of its end markets, and the Company's
concentration of service offerings.
Badger is proposing to issue approximately CAD 250 million of
senior unsecured notes (the Proposed Notes). The proceeds of the
issuance, after deducting issuance fees and expenses, will be used
to repay existing indebtedness. The Proposed Notes will be
unsecured obligations ranking pari passu with all existing and
future unsecured senior indebtedness of Badger, but will
effectively be subordinated to any senior secured indebtedness of
the Company, including indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit
Facility. The Proposed Notes will be guaranteed by the borrowers
and guarantors under the Credit Agreement for the Senior Secured
Credit Facilities, which are required to account for at least 80%
of unconsolidated total tangible assets and 80% of unconsolidated
total revenue. As part of the Proposed Notes issuance, the Company
will also increase the capacity of its Secured Revolving Credit
Facility (the Secured Revolver) to $400 million from $300 million,
and will remove the $100 million term loan from its capital
structure.
CREDIT RATING DRIVERS
Morningstar DBRS could take a positive credit rating action should
the Company materially improve its business-risk profile, including
increased size, and improvement in operating efficiency and service
diversification, while maintaining strong credit metrics supportive
of an investment grade credit rating (e.g., debt-to-EBITDA below
3.0 times (x)). Conversely, Morningstar DBRS could take a negative
credit rating action if the Company's operating performance
declines and/or the Company practices more aggressive capital
management such that adjusted debt-to-EBITDA increases toward 3.5x
on a sustained basis.
EARNINGS OUTLOOK
Looking ahead, Morningstar DBRS expects Badger's earnings profile
will remain appropriate for the credit ratings, and anticipates
solid earnings growth in 2026 and 2027, benefitting from strong
service demand and efficiency improvement initiatives, further
supported by investment in fleet growth and network expansion.
Morningstar DBRS forecasts revenue to grow to over $900 million in
2026 and to over $1 billion in 2027, from $832 million in 2025.
Morningstar DBRS expects revenue growth to be driven by favourable
industry tailwinds that are supported by a significant pipeline of
infrastructure projects across the Company's end markets, higher
pricing for Badger's service offerings due to cost pass-through
features for fuel, water, and disposal. Ancillary service offerings
including trench shoring and industrial cleaning--which will
present cross-selling opportunities as well as provide additional
revenue streams--will likely further support revenue growth.
Morningstar DBRS forecasts Badger's gross margins to improve in
2026 and 2027 compared with 2025, primarily driven by improved
pricing, economies of scale, as well as Badger's Operational
Excellence Initiative and the Badger Analytics Platforms which
should drive cost efficiencies related to labour, truck routing,
and fleet management. That said, Morningstar DBRS anticipates
higher selling general and administrative expenses will more than
offset gross margin benefits in 2026, primarily driven by higher
compensation expenses related to share-based compensation.
Morningstar DBRS expects gross margin growth and improving
operating leverage will drive overall margin growth in 2027. As a
result, Morningstar DBRS expects Badger's EBITDA margin to decline
modestly to below 22% in 2026 before improving toward 23% in 2027,
from 22.2% in 2025. Consequently, Morningstar DBRS forecasts
adjusted EBITDA to grow to approximately $200 million in 2026 and
into the $225 million to $250 million range in 2027, from $184
million in 2025.
FINANCIAL OUTLOOK
Morningstar DBRS anticipates Badger's financial profile will remain
supportive of the credit ratings based on the Company's strong
credit metrics and conservative capital management. Morningstar
DBRS forecasts cash flow from operations to track in line with
operating income, increasing to over $200 million through 2027,
from $163 million in 2025. Morningstar DBRS anticipates capital
expenditure (capex) will increase to over $200 million in 2026
before declining toward $175 million in 2027, primarily driven by
growth initiatives including fleet and network expansion as well as
the construction of a new truck manufacturing plant in the U.S.
Dividends are forecast to grow modestly but remain in the $20
million range in 2026 and 2027. As such, Morningstar DBRS forecasts
Badger's free cash flow (FCF) (before working capital and principal
lease payments) to be a shortfall of approximately $50 million in
2026 and to grow toward $25 million in 2027, from $20 million in
2025. Morningstar DBRS expects Badger will fund the 2026 shortfall
in FCF with incremental debt. As a result, Morningstar DBRS
forecast Badger's adjusted debt-to-EBITDA will increase modestly
toward 2.0x in 2026 before declining toward 1.5x in 2027.
CREDIT RATING RATIONALE
Comprehensive Business Risk Assessment (CBRA): bb
Badger's CBRA of bb reflects the Company's market position as the
leader within the niche North American non-destructive excavation
industry, strong customer and geographic diversification, and
expansive network with the ability to serve its large national
customers across North America, resulting in a competitive
advantage over smaller regional competitors. The CBRA also reflects
the capital-intensive nature of Badger's operations, exposure to
cyclicality in some of its end markets, and concentration of
service offerings.
Comprehensive Financial Risk Assessment (CFRA): a
Badger's CFRA of a reflects Morningstar DBRS' expectation that the
Company will practice relatively conservative financial management
practices. Morningstar DBRS notes that Badger has material room for
investment/ acquisitions within the current credit rating category,
given the Company's currently strong credit metrics.
Intrinsic Assessment (IA): bb (high)
The IA of bb (high) is within the intrinsic assessment range, is
based on Badger's CBRA and CFRA, and takes into consideration peer
comparisons, among other factors.
Additional Considerations:
The credit ratings include no further negative or positive
adjustments as a result of additional considerations.
Recovery Rating:
The Recovery Rating of RR5 on the Senior Unsecured Notes assumes a
fully drawn secured revolver and reflects the secured revolver's
first-lien position.
Notes: All figures are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.
BARK RIVER KNIVES: Court Appoints Receiver to Handle Assets
-----------------------------------------------------------
Sophie Vogelmann of Daily Press reports that Bark River Knives is
now subject to a court-supervised receivership after a Delta County
judge authorized the appointment of a receiver to control equipment
and property left behind at the company’s former Escanaba
facility. The action followed allegations that the company vacated
the premises after falling behind on rent owed to landlord K
Enterprises Rentals LLC.
Scott Wolfson was appointed receiver by Judge John Economopoulos
and will oversee the inventory and liquidation of machinery and
other assets remaining at the property. Court statements estimated
the abandoned equipment and personal property to have a value of
roughly $250,000. The proceeds from any liquidation are expected to
be distributed among creditors, including secured parties claiming
interests in the assets, the report states.
The receivership comes months after Bark River Knives announced it
was shutting down operations. Company founder Mike Stewart
previously stated that health issues and controversy over
mislabeled imported steel used in certain knives contributed to the
closure of the business, according to Daily Press.
About Bark River Knives
Bark River Knives operated as a specialty knife maker headquartered
in Escanaba, Michigan, producing handcrafted outdoor and utility
knives for domestic and international markets. Founded by knife
designer Mike Stewart, the company focused on premium fixed-blade
knives used for hunting, camping, bushcraft, and survival
applications.
A Delta County judge has appointed a receiver to oversee and
liquidate assets left behind by Bark River Knives after the company
was evicted from its Escanaba, Michigan facility for unpaid rent.
Judge John Economopoulos of the 47th Circuit Court approved the
receivership request filed on behalf of K Enterprises Rentals LLC,
owned by Ken Gartland.
The court appointed Scott Wolfson as receiver to inventory and sell
manufacturing equipment and other personal property allegedly
abandoned at the property located at 6911 County Road 426 M5 Road.
According to statements made during court proceedings, the
remaining assets were estimated to be worth approximately $250,000.
Proceeds from any sale will be distributed among creditors
asserting claims against Bark River Knives, also known as Stewart
Knives LLC, with secured creditors potentially receiving priority
payments.
Bark River Knives ceased operations earlier this year after owner
Michael "Mike" Stewart cited health concerns and controversy
surrounding the use of mislabeled Chinese steel in several knife
models. Stewart acknowledged distributors were unaware of the steel
substitution issue, which affected multiple product lines sold
throughout North America and Europe.
BARROW SHAVER: Court Narrows Claims in "Kasino"
-----------------------------------------------
Judge Alfredo R. Perez of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of Texas granted in part and denied in part the
motions for summary judgment filed by the parties in the adversary
proceeding captioned as RAYMOND KASINO, et al., Plaintiffs, VS.
BARROW SHAVER RESOURCES COMPANY, LLC, Defendant, ADVERSARY NO.
25-3440 (Bankr. S.D. Tex.).
Barrow Shaver Resources Company, LLC (the "Debtor"), and Raymond
Kasino and LaWanda Turner (the "Plaintiffs") both move for summary
judgment on several issues relating to ownership over certain
overriding royalty interests (also referred to as "ORRIs").
The Debtor is (or was) the lessee under certain oil and gas leases
and operator under certain joint operating agreements pertaining to
oil and gas prospects in the areas of Morris, Cass, Upshur, and
Camp Counties, Texas (the "Hidden Rock Field"). The Debtor's
approach to identifying oil and gas prospects involved first
identifying a potential prospect for the exploration and
development of hydrocarbon production, and once identified,
initiating a leasing program to acquire acreage that covers the
prospect.
Prior to its eventual bankruptcy, the Debtor employed Raymond
Kasino ("Mr. Kasino") and James Turner ("Mr. Turner," and together
with Mr. Kasino, the "Consultants"), two geologists who were
involved in drilling, reworking, testing, and similar operations
with respect to the Debtor's business. On June 13, 2019, the Debtor
entered into identical and respective consulting agreements (the
"Consulting Agreement") with the Consultants whereby each geologist
agreed to "identify, generate, and evaluate various prospects for
the exploration and development of oil and gas prospects for the
exploration and development of oil and gas reserves" (defined as
"Prospects") for the Debtor.
The Debtor's internal documents indicate each of the Consultants
may have been orally conveyed a number of ORRIs and working
interests throughout the course of their employment with the
Debtor. Information taken from the Debtor's pay decks also indicate
the Consultants and Plaintiffs were receiving production revenues
on account of a number of those ORRIs and working interests during
their employment and prior to the Involuntary Petition Date. On or
around July, 2024, the Debtor stopped paying the Plaintiffs
production revenues associated with their alleged mineral
interests.
On July 11, 2025, one year into the Debtor's bankruptcy, the
Plaintiffs filed the instant adversary proceeding seeking
declaratory judgment as to ownership of certain alleged ORRIs and
working interests each Consultant purportedly earned during their
involvement and employment with the Debtor, and pursuant to the
Consulting Agreement. The Plaintiffs also sought a temporary
restraining order against the Debtor, requesting that the certain
suspended production revenues generated on account of the
Plaintiffs' alleged ORRIs and working interests be escrowed into a
segregated account by the Debtor.
In its Counterclaim, the Debtor asserted claims for declaratory
judgment as to ownership of the Plaintiffs' alleged ORRIs, unjust
enrichment as to the value of certain pre-petition production
revenues paid to the Plaintiffs on account of their alleged ORRIs,
constructive fraudulent transfer as to the same, avoidance of any
alleged transfer of the claimed ORRIs as a bona fide purchaser
under the Bankruptcy Code and applicable Texas law, objection and
disallowance of the Plaintiffs' proofs of claim in the Debtor's
bankruptcy proceeding, recovery of avoided ORRIs, and attorney's
fees.
On October 3, 2025, the Debtor filed the instant Motion for Summary
Judgment (the "Debtor's MSJ"), seeking summary judgment as to the
issues of:
(i) whether the alleged ORRIs were validly conveyed to the
Plaintiffs under Texas law,
(ii) whether the trustee has the status of a bona fide purchaser
or hypothetical lien creditor without notice of the Plaintiffs'
alleged ORRIs, and
(iii) whether the Plaintiffs are initial or immediate transferees
within the meaning of the trustee's recover power under Sec.
550(a)(2).
On January 26, 2026, the Plaintiffs filed their own Motion for
Summary Judgment ("Plaintiffs' MSJ"), seeking summary judgment as
to the issues of:
(i) whether the Plaintiffs are owners of the alleged ORRIs,
(ii) whether the alleged ORRIs are property of the Debtor's
estate under Secs. 541(b)(4) or 541(d),
(iii) whether the trustee can avoid the Plaintiffs' alleged ORRIs
as a bona fide purchaser or hypothetical lien creditor without
notice, and
(iv) whether the alleged conveyance of the ORRIs and subsequent
production revenues were arms'-length transfers for reasonably
equivalent value.
The legal framework structuring the Parties' cross MSJs largely
mirror one another and present three overarching issues: first,
whether the Plaintiffs are owners of ORRIs; second, whether the
Plaintiffs' interests in the alleged ORRIs are excluded from the
Debtor's property of the estate under Sec. 541; third, whether the
Debtor can avoid the Plaintiffs' alleged interests in the ORRIs
under either Secs. 544 or 548 and recover those interests under
Sec. 550.
The Court finds:
1. The Consulting Agreements do not identify the Plaintiffs'
alleged ORRIs with reasonable certainty as to satisfy the Texas
statute of frauds.
2. The Court reserves judgment on the issue of whether the
Plaintiffs are owners of the alleged ORRIs, as neither Party
sufficiently addressed the issues of (i) whether certain of the
alleged ORRIs are excepted from the statute of frauds, and (ii)
whether the Parties' course of conduct prevents enforcement of
certain contractual provisions within the Consulting Agreements.
3. The Consulting Agreements contain sufficient present intent
to convey the alleged ORRIs as to satisfy the Texas statute of
conveyances, both with respect to ORRIs allegedly conveyed pre and
post execution of the contract.
4. To the extent any ORRIs may have been conveyed, those ORRIs
are not excluded from the Debtor's property of the estate under
Sec. 541(b)(4)(A) because the Consulting Agreement is not a farmout
agreement within the meaning of Sec. 101(21A).
5. To the extent any ORRIs may have been conveyed, the
Plaintiffs retain an equitable interest in those ORRIs excluded
from the Debtor's property of the estate under Sec. 541(d).
6. To the extent any ORRIs may have been conveyed, the trustee
as a hypothetical purchaser or lien creditor would be on inquiry
notice of those ORRIs and therefore the Plaintiffs' interests are
not avoidable under Secs. 544(a)(1) or (a)(3).
7. To the extent any ORRIs may have been conveyed, under the
terms of the Consulting Agreement those ORRIs, and subsequent
production revenues paid to the Plaintiffs within two years of the
Involuntary Petition Date were transferred for reasonably
equivalent value, and therefore those transfers are not avoidable
under Sec. 548(b)(1)(a) nor TEX. BUS. & COM. CODE Sec.
24.005(a)(2).

BET MIDRASH: Seeks 120-Day Extension of Plan Filing Deadline
------------------------------------------------------------
Bet Midrash Ohr Hachayim Hakadosh, Inc. asked the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of Florida to extend its
exclusivity periods to file a plan of reorganization and obtain
acceptance thereof for additional one-hundred twenty days.
The Debtor explains that in considering whether the extend these
deadlines, Courts have considered the size and complexity of the
case. The debtor's diligence in attempting to reorganize and
progress in negotiating with creditors weighs in favor of
extension.
This is the Debtor's first request for such an extension. The
Debtor has been diligently working to achieve a plan that will
benefit all valid creditors of the Debtor's estate. Namely, the
Debtor is seeking to open its school in the City of Hollywood,
something the City of Hollywood ("City") has refused to allow, but
provided no roadmap or guidance on how or what is necessary for the
school to open.
The Debtor asserts that it has sued the City of Hollywood in
Federal District Court. That case has been referred to this Court.
The Debtor has provided the City with all documents requested by
the City to consider allowing the school to open, however, the City
has failed to respond in any way in the nearly four months since
the documents were provided.
The Debtor further asserts that it filed a Motion for Order to Show
Cause for the City to explain why the school has not been allowed
to reopen and the Debtor has filed a supplement to the Motion for
Order to Show Cause contemporaneously with The Debtor filed a
Motion for Order to Show Cause for the City to explain why the
school has not been allowed to reopen and the Debtor has filed a
supplement to the Motion for Order to Show Cause contemporaneously
with
Finally, as also stated in the supplement to the Motion for Order
to Show Cause, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation, specifically
SB 182 (and related provisions in HB 1285), on April 20, 2026,
which makes it easier for small private schools and microschools to
operate in Florida. This new law becomes effective on July 1, 2026,
and applies to private schools with 150 or fewer students. This new
law should allow the Debtor to open the school, generate revenue,
reengage with fundraising, and begin the payment process to valid
creditors in the context of a Chapter 11 plan in the near term.

BLD REALTY: Latin Investment, et al., Win Partial Summary Judgment
------------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Mildred Caban Flores of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Puerto Rico granted the motion for partial summary
judgment filed by Latin Investment Corp., Ramon Clas Vazquez and
Productos La Perfecta Corp. in the adversary proceeding captioned
as BLD REALTY INC, Plaintiff(s) v. MICHAEL A. PABON, et al.,
Defendant(s) ADVERSARY NUMBER: 22-00034-MCF (Bankr. D.P.R.).
Codefendants, Latin Investment Corp., Ramon Clas Vazquez and
Productos La Perfecta Corp. (collectively, the Codefendants"), move
the court for a partial summary judgment as to them regarding the
first and eighth causes of action in the complaint. The Plaintiff,
BLD Realty Inc., opposes the motion for partial summary judgment.
The Plaintiff, BLD Realty Inc., filed a ten-count complaint against
various defendants. In a prior opinion and order, the court
dismissed the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh
counts of the complaint. Recently, the court dismissed the first
and eighth counts as to codefendant Michael A. Pabon. Relying on
the recent court order, the Codefendants request a partial summary
judgment dismissing the first and eighth counts as to them as well.
The first cause of action seeks a declaratory judgment that the
monies owned by codefendants Perfecto Price, Inc. and
Mr. Perfecto Rivera constitute property of the estate, pursuant to
11 U.S.C. Sec. 541. The eighth cause of action involves a turnover
of property, pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Sec. 542.
It is undisputed that the first count centers around a local court
judgment entered against codefendants Perfect Price and Mr. Rivera
regarding past due rents owed to BLD. Latin Investment, Clas
Vazquez and Productos La Perfecta are not named as codefendants in
the first cause of action. The eighth count seeks the turnover of
rent monies by Perfect Price and Mr. Rivera and the turnover of two
real properties by Latin Investment. The Court finds in relation to
the first cause of action, Latin Investment, Clas Vazquez and
Productos La Perfecta were never sued in the local court case nor
was judgment entered against them. Nor are Latin Investment, Clas
Vazquez and Productos La Perfecta named in the allegations of the
first cause of action of the complaint. According to the Court, as
to the eighth cause of action, Clas Vazquez and Productos La
Perfecta were not named in the complaint; Latin Investment was
indeed named but only to request the turnover of two real
properties relying on the fifth, sixth and seventh counts which
relate to the avoidance of transfer of properties to Latin
Investment and that already have been dismissed as well.
Accordingly, the Court concludes Latin Investment Corp., Ramon Clas
Vazquez and Productos La Perfecta Corp., are entitled to a partial
summary judgment in their favor for the first and eighth counts of
the complaint.

BLOCK INC: S&P Affirms 'BB+' ICR, Alters Outlook to Positive
------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings revised its outlook to positive from stable and
affirmed the 'BB+' issuer credit and unsecured debt ratings. S&P
also revised its recovery rating on the company's senior unsecured
debt to '3' from '4', reflecting its expectation of a meaningful
recovery (50%-70%, rounded estimate: 60%).
The positive outlook on Block reflects S&P's expectation that over
the next 12-18 months, the company will report strong operating
performance as evidenced by growth in its gross profit and adjusted
operating margin, while maintaining leverage of 1.5x-2.0x.
For the rolling 12 months ending March 31, 2026, Block Inc.
reported strong operating performance driven by growth in gross
profit and adjusted operating income, leading it to increase its
2026 guidance, and we expect it to sustain rule of 40 (defined as
the sum of increase in gross profit and adjusted operating
margin).
Over the same period, Block's leverage, measured by net debt to
adjusted EBITDA, was 1.7x, with stock-based compensation expected
to decline as a percentage of adjusted EBITDA from 43% of $2.9
billion.
The positive outlook reflects Block's disciplined growth, improved
operating performance, and its ability to sustain rule of 40. For
the three months ended March 31, 2026, Block's gross profit
increased 27% year over year to $2.9 billion. The company estimates
it to be $12.3 billion in 2026, compared with $10.4 billion in 2025
and $8.9 billion in 2024. S&P Global Ratings positively views
Block's improved profitability and prudent expansion of its
ecosystems. For 2026, Block increased its guidance for gross profit
growth to 19% (up from 18%), with adjusted operating margin of 27%
(up from 26%), which equates to 46% and is well above the rule of
40. S&P expects the company will continue to grow its gross payment
volume as it scales neighborhood strategy, which connects local
sellers and consumers.
In February 2026, Block announced a workforce reduction
restructuring plan of more than 40%. These layoffs will shrink its
workforce to less than 6,000 employees from nearly 10,000 as of
year-end 2025. In the first quarter, Block incurred $495 million in
restructuring charges and expects to incur immaterial charges in
the second quarter of 2026. While restructuring introduces
meaningful execution and compliance risks, S&P believes it is
partially mitigated by Block's operating history and track record
of increasing free cash flow.
S&P said, "We expect Block will reasonably increase its credit
exposure through customer loans. Through its Cash App segment, the
company offers buy now, pay later (BNPL), Cash App Borrow, Afterpay
Post-Purchase, and Square Loans. The company also launched Afterpay
Pre Purchase, which allows eligible customers to pay-in-four using
their Cash App Card, and expanded BNPL to cover peer to peer
transactions and Cash App Pay. While it exposes the company to
higher credit risk, we expect the company will maintain its strong
underwriting standards and loss-mitigation strategies, such that
credit performance remains stable."
Cash App Consumer Lending origination volume growth accelerated to
82% year over year to $17.6 billion, driven by strength in Cash App
Borrow. Consumer receivables (BNPL) were $2.5 billion, provision
for credit losses was $236 million (9.4% of receivables), and the
60-day-plus delinquency ratio was about 5.45% (up from 4.5% at
year-end 2025). S&P expects quarterly loss rates to remain
manageable at 3%-4% of receivables (3.2% in the first quarter).
Block also underwrites short-term working capital loans and extends
them to a select group of sellers and merchants. As of March 31,
gross loans increased to $6.4 billion ($2.5 billion BNPL, $3.3
billion consumer, and $456 million commercial). The company
monitors credit risk with internal pass or classified ratings. Of
the total $3.9 billion loans held for investment, the company had
provision for credit losses of $435 million (13.2% of receivables)
and about $467 million were classified, meaning they were past due
60 or more days and have a higher risk of default.
While Block continues to record healthy consumer repayment behavior
on these loans and immaterial losses on its Borrow receivables,
credit quality could be strained as unemployment rises and
sustained inflation squeezes affordability. S&P will continue to
monitor for this risk by looking at the trends in loss reserves,
delinquencies, and charge-offs.
S&P said, "We expect Block to operate with leverage of 1.5x-2.0x .
For the rolling 12 months ended March 31, 2026, Block's leverage,
measured by net debt to adjusted EBITDA, was 1.7x and EBITDA
coverage was 9.6x. As of March 31, our $8.5 billion measure of
gross debt included $6.2 billion of unsecured notes, $1.15 billion
of secured convertible notes, $542.5 million outstanding on the
warehouse facility, $298 million of operating lease liabilities,
and $353 million in customer deposits.
"As of March 31, Block had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents
of $6.9 billion. We net all but 50% of cash to arrive at our net
debt calculation. We believe the company maintains 50% of its cash
holdings for daily settlement needs and, to a much lesser extent,
various regulatory minimums. We also net liquid investments in
short-term and long-term debt securities of approximately $617
million against gross debt.
"We treat stock compensation expense as an add-back to EBITDA,
which is meaningful for Block. For the rolling 12 months ended
March 31, our calculated adjusted EBITDA was $2.88 billion, of
which $1.24 billion (about 43%) was an add-back from stock
compensation. Our base-case expectation is that the stock-backed
add-back will decline as Block continues to grow its core earnings.
Nonetheless, we believe shareholders fully understand its
proclivity to continue compensating employees with stock and are
comfortable with the dilutive impact on ownership."
Block maintains strong financial flexibility, but it has not stated
leverage tolerance. S&P therefore takes a balanced view of its $9.0
billion of available liquidity as of March 31, weighing ample
on-balance-sheet resources against uncertainty around
capital-structure deployment.
In November 2025, Block announced a $5 billion share repurchase
program for its Class A shares. In the first quarter, Block
actively repurchased $636 million and had $4.7 billion available
under the repurchase program. While S&P expects repurchases to
continue, backed by cash flow, it is unclear how Block will use
excess cash for business investments, acquisitions, further
shareholder-friendly behavior, or debt reduction.
S&P continues to monitor the operating impact of ongoing
litigation, including the SEC and Department of Justice (DOJ)
matters related to Cash App's handling of customer complaints and
disputes. The DOJ inquiry is ongoing, and the company accrued a
$240 million loss estimate in the first quarter. In March 2026, the
SEC concluded its investigation without recommending fines. While
the company generates ample free cash flow, any material
enforcement actions could still weigh on operating performance.
Block's balance sheet exposure to bitcoin exposes it to market
price volatility. The company continues to expand its investment in
bitcoin, and in the first quarter, it purchased 149 bitcoins ($12.6
million) for a total of 9,032 bitcoins. These had a fair value of
$617.3 million ($305.2 million cost), which reflects remeasurement
losses of $172.8 million from year-end 2025.
The company also facilitates the purchase and sale of bitcoin for
Cash App customers and earns revenue by applying a small margin.
Block is designated as a principal in bitcoin, unlike competitors
such as PayPal that largely act as agents. Block controls the
cryptocurrency in the process of delivery to Cash App customers and
is exposed to price fluctuations before delivery. As of March 31,
Block held about 267 bitcoins for operating purposes to facilitate
transactions on behalf of Cash App customers.
The positive outlook reflects S&P Global Ratings' expectation that
over the next 12 months Block will continue to grow its market
share in the digital payment sector, operate with leverage (net
debt to adjusted EBITDA) of 1.5x-2.0x, and EBITDA to interest of
about 10x. S&P also expects the company to maintain a strong
liquidity position, avoid outsized regulatory fines or
restrictions, keep credit losses contained, and consistently
achieve the rule of 40.
S&P could revise its outlook to stable if:
-- The company pursues a large cash- or debt-financed
acquisition;
-- Operating performance deteriorates such that we expect net debt
to EBITDA to rise above 2x;
-- The company is unable to meet the rule of 40 on a sustained
basis; or
-- It faces regulatory enforcement actions, substantial monetary
penalties, or curtailed business practices.
S&P could raise the ratings over the next 12-18 months if:
-- Block operates with leverage below 1.5x;
-- S&P gains better visibility of uses of excess liquidity and
there are no material regulatory findings;
-- Core earnings continue to grow and stock-based compensation
declines from existing levels; and
-- The company continues to increase wallet share in the digital
payment sector.
BLUELINX HOLDINGS: Moody's Cuts CFR to 'B2', Outlook Stable
-----------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Ratings downgraded BlueLinx Holdings Inc.'s (BlueLinx)
corporate family rating to B2 from B1, probability of default
rating to B2-PD from B1-PD, and the rating on its $300 million
senior secured notes due November 2029 to B3 from B2. The SGL-1
Speculative Grade Liquidity rating is unchanged. The outlook is
maintained at stable.
The downgrade of the CFR to B2 reflects a weakening in BlueLinx'
credit metrics that stem from soft end market conditions
experienced over the last year. At April 04, 2026, the company's
debt to EBITDA stood at 6.7x and EBITDA to interest coverage stood
at 1.8x, mainly driven by low profitability with EBIT margins at
1.6%. Moody's do not anticipate end markets to recover meaningfully
over the course of 2026, which will leave credit metrics at similar
levels. The company's very good liquidity, including high cash
balances and nearly full revolver availability, and a net cash
position on a funded debt basis represent credit strengths and
support the B2 rating.
The stable outlook reflects BlueLinx' very good liquidity with
solid cash balances, and a net cash position on a funded debt
basis. Moody's expects the company to continue to exercise a
disciplined approach to acquisitions and share repurchases.
RATINGS RATIONALE
BlueLinx' B2 CFR reflects: 1) the company's solid market position
as a two-step distributor of building products with a national
reach; 2) focus on specialty building products that typically
represent about 70% of revenue and 80% of gross profit, and carry
higher gross margins; 3) cash coverage of debt including property
financing leases of 0.5x at April 04, 2026 and the company's
financial policy with publicly stated target net debt leverage of
around 2.0x; 4) a very good liquidity position with good cash
balances, positive annual free cash flow and undrawn revolving
credit facility; and 5) focus on efficient working capital
management and prudent approach to capital expenditures.
The rating is constrained by: 1) low EBIT margins inherent to the
distribution nature of the business and current weakness from the
soft end markets as well as the volatility of margins caused by the
commodity-based variability in product pricing; 2) competitive
landscape of the building products distribution business in a
fragmented market with low barriers to entry; 3) high debt to
EBITDA of 6.7x due to eroding profitability; 4) risk of
shareholder-friendly returns given the company's share repurchase
authorization and risks related to potential acquisitions, although
Moody's expects a disciplined approach; and 5) cyclicality of the
residential and commercial end markets and the associated
volatility in demand.
BlueLinx' Speculative Grade Liquidity rating of SGL-1 reflects
Moody's expectations that the company will maintain very good
liquidity over the next 12 to 15 months. Liquidity is supported by
a good cash balance of $319 million at April 04, 2026, nearly full
availability under its $350 million ABL revolving credit facility
due August 2030, flexibility under the springing fixed charge
coverage financial covenant, and Moody's expectations for modest
positive free cash flow in 2026.
ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL, GOVERNANCE CONSIDERATIONS
Governance consideration was a key driver of the rating action.
Moody's changed the company's governance risk score to G-4 from G-3
due to elevated financial risk from high leverage and weak interest
coverage in the face of weak end market conditions. Moody's also
changed the company's credit impact score (CIS) to CIS-4 from
CIS-3, indicating the rating is lower than it would have been if
ESG risk exposures did not exist.
FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS
The ratings could be upgraded if the company demonstrates
improvements in its credit metrics, namely generates EBIT margins
sustainably above 4%, while operating with debt to EBITDA below
5.0x and EBITDA to interest coverage above 3.0x through industry
cycles, and maintains good liquidity.
The ratings could be downgraded if the company's liquidity weakens
meaningfully or if cash coverage of debt declines, if debt to
EBITDA is sustained above 6.0x and EBITDA to interest coverage is
below 2.0x, or if the company's financial policies become more
aggressive either in terms of large-scale debt funded acquisitions
or shareholder returns.
The principal methodology used in these ratings was Distribution
and Supply Chain Services published in November 2025.
The net effect of any adjustments applied to rating factor scores
or scorecard outputs under the primary methodology(ies), if any,
was not material to the ratings addressed in this announcement.
BlueLinx Holdings Inc., headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, is a
two-step wholesale distributor of building products for residential
and commercial markets in the US. The company's product categories
include lumber, panels, engineered wood, siding, millwork, and

BRIGHT MOUNTAIN: Net Loss Cuts 60% in Q1 2026; Warns of Cash Crunch
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Bright Mountain Media, Inc. has filed its Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, reporting a
net loss of $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026,
an improvement of 60% compared to a net loss of $3.2 million for
the same period of 2025.
Revenue was approximately $14.0 million, a slight decrease of
$227,000, or 2%, compared to $14.2 million for the same period of
2025. Advertising technology revenue was approximately $6.6
million, digital publishing revenue was approximately $281,000,
consumer insights revenue was approximately $5.0 million, creative
services revenue was approximately $2.0 million, and media services
revenue was approximately $12,000, during the first quarter of
2026.
Cost of revenue was approximately $9.7 million, a decrease of
$264,000, or 3%, compared to $9.9 million for the same period of
2025. Cost of revenue is inclusive of: direct salary and labor
costs of approximately $371,000 for employees that work directly on
customer projects; direct project costs of approximately $1.2
million for payments made to third-parties that are directly
attributable to the completion of projects to allow for revenue
recognition; non-direct project costs of approximately $2.4
million; publisher costs of approximately $4.9 million, and sales
commissions of approximately $344,000.
General and administrative expense was $2.6 million, a decrease of
43%, compared to $4.5 million for the same period of 2025.
Gross margin remained consistent at $4.3 million for both the first
quarter of 2026 and the first quarter of 2025.
Going Concern and Liquidity
Historically, the Company has incurred losses, which have resulted
in an accumulated deficit of approximately $181.6 million as of
March 31, 2026. Cash flows used in operating activities were
$196,000 and $350,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and
2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had a working
capital deficit of approximately $96.2 million, inclusive of
$594,000 in cash and cash equivalents and $1.9 million in
restricted cash.
The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent
upon its ability to meet its liquidity needs through a combination
of factors. The Company is currently exploring several strategic
alternatives, including restructuring or refinancing its debt, or
seeking additional debt, including borrowing under the Centre Lane
Senior Secured Credit Facility, or raising equity capital. The
ability to access the capital markets depends, in part, upon the
volume and market price of the Company's stock, which cannot be
assured. Other measures include reducing or delaying certain
business activities, and reducing general and administrative
expenses, including a reduction in headcount. The ultimate success
of these plans is not guaranteed.
The Company's current cash and working capital, as of the filing of
its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is not expected to be sufficient
to fund its anticipated level of operations over the next twelve
months. As a result, such matters create a substantial doubt
regarding the Company's ability to meet its financial obligations
and continue as a going concern.
Management Comments
"Q1 2026 underscores the strength and resilience of Bright
Mountain's operating model," said Matthew Drinkwater, CEO of Bright
Mountain Media. "Our diversified portfolio enables us to
efficiently allocate capital toward our highest-momentum
advertising technology assets while continuing to invest in product
innovation across our marketing technology platform. This
intentional balance supports consistent performance, improves
operating leverage, and positions the company to generate
sustainable value as individual businesses scale and mature."
"The 60% year-over-year improvement in net loss highlights our
focus on operating discipline and margin progression, while
reinforcing the strategic advantage of pairing complementary AdTech
and MarTech capabilities within a single platform. We are building
a foundation designed to perform across market cycles and support
long-term shareholder value creation."
"At the same time, we see a meaningful opportunity to differentiate
ourselves through proprietary AI. After extensive evaluation of
third‑party solutions in the market, we believe there is a clear
gap in what today's AdTech and MarTech companies need. As a result,
we have chosen to invest internally to develop our own AI-driven
capabilities. We're encouraged by early progress and look forward
to updating investors as these initiatives begin to contribute to
growth and competitive positioning in the coming quarters."

BROADBAND INFRASTRUCTURE: Seeks Cash Collateral Access
------------------------------------------------------
Broadband Infrastructure, Inc. asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the District of South Carolina for authority to use cash collateral
and provide adequate protection.
The Debtor could not obtain unsecured financing under Section 364
of the Bankruptcy Code and, therefore, seeks court approval to use
cash collateral consisting of receivables, project proceeds, and
other operating income subject to lenders' liens.
The Debtor plans to use cash collateral only for ordinary business
operations and restructuring expenses, while providing secured
lenders with financial reports and records upon request.
Broadband Infrastructure's secured debt structure involves multiple
lenders that claim liens against substantially all of its assets.
The first major secured creditor is the U.S. Small Business
Administration, which issued a $500,000 Economic Injury Disaster
Loan in May 2020 secured by a blanket lien on nearly all tangible
and intangible assets, including inventory, equipment, accounts
receivable, deposit accounts, software, and proceeds. Another
significant lender is Coastal Carolina National Bank, which
provided a $1 million revolving commercial loan in November 2023
secured by inventory and accounts receivable. The Debtor also
borrowed $850,000 from Parsonex Special Solutions Fund, LLC,
secured by accounts receivable, contract rights, equipment, and
general intangibles.
Additional financing came from Courtyard Holdings, LLC, which
loaned the Debtor $1.5 million in February 2025 and obtained
blanket liens against all assets, including trucks, trailers,
trenchers, and other heavy equipment. The filing notes that
Courtyard Holdings later filed another UCC financing statement in
June 2025 reaffirming its secured interest. The Debtor also
borrowed $250,000 from Doug2, Inc. secured by receivables, and
$125,000 from Alpha Equity Fund, LLC secured by accounts receivable
and related payment rights. In addition, a January 2025 UCC filing
by Lien Solutions references an unidentified creditor claiming a
blanket lien on essentially all assets of the Debtor.
The Debtor's business provides services including structured
cabling, underground telecom infrastructure, fiber infrastructure,
audiovisual solutions, enterprise communications systems, security
systems, and wireless infrastructure projects. It operates from a
facility in Greer, South Carolina, but does not own real estate.
Instead, its assets primarily consist of receivables, equipment,
inventory, and other business-related property.
The Debtor filed bankruptcy on April 27 to stop escalating creditor
actions and to create an opportunity to negotiate a sale of its
assets while preserving operations.
A court hearing is scheduled for May 27.

CAMBER ENERGY: Q1 2026 Loss Narrows to $1.7MM; Doubt Warning Stands
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Camber Energy, Inc. has filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, reporting a net
loss of $(1,717,372) for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as
compared to a net loss of $(3,191,653) for the three months ended
March 31, 2025. The loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026,
was comprised of, among other things, certain non-cash items,
including:
(i) amortization of debt discount of ($793,381), and;
(ii) a gain on change in fair value of investment of $107,234.
The Company did not generate any revenue in the three months ended
March 31, 2026.
At March 31, 2026, the Company had stockholders' deficit of
$45,086,094, long-term debt, net of current, of $152,715 and a
working capital deficiency of $61,216,158. The largest components
of current liabilities creating this working capital deficiency was
current portion of long-term debt of $45,541,300, accrued interest
of $8,474,849, amounts due to related parties of $1,338,330, and
related party accounts payable of $2,032,000.
These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's ability to
continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to
utilize the resources in place to generate future profitable
operations, to develop additional acquisition opportunities, and to
obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay
its liabilities arising from business operations when they come
due. Management believes the Company may be able to continue to
develop new opportunities and may be able to obtain additional
funds through debt and / or equity financings to facilitate its
business strategy; however, there is no assurance of additional
funding being available.

continue incurring operating losses and generating negative cash
flows from operations for the foreseeable future. Additionally, the
Company has a significant working capital deficiency, accumulated
deficit and net loss for the year. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going

CARE FOR THE ELDERLY: Available Cash and Income to Fund Plan
------------------------------------------------------------
Care for the Elderly, Inc. filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Central District of California a Plan of Reorganization under
Subchapter V dated May 11, 2026.
For the past 31 plus years, the Debtor has owned and operated a
highly regulated, skilled nursing facility known as Grand Park
Convalescent Hospital (the "Facility Business"), in a commercial
building located at 2312 W 8th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90057 (the
"Real Property") it has occupied under a lease dated November 15,
1994, as amended (the "Facility Lease").
This Plan is conditioned on the assumption that the Debtor will
continue to be able to operate its 151-bed skilled nursing facility
(the "Facility") either because the Debtor has prevailed in the
unlawful detainer proceeding pending between the Debtor and its
landlord, the Debtor settles with its landlord and the settlement
provides for the Debtor to continue to operate the Facility, or the
Bankruptcy Court authorizes the Debtor to continue to operate the
Facility during the term of the Plan. Under that premise, the Plan
provides an excellent result for the Holders of Allowed Claims
because the Plan proposes to pay the Holders of Allowed Claims in
full.
To the extent the Debtor is unable to continue to operate the
Facility as a result of a finding that the lease extension between
the Debtor and its landlord is not valid, the Debtor may either:
(1) amend the Plan to take into account such a result and
recoveries to creditors under such an amended Plan could
drastically change as a result; (2) seek dismissal of the
bankruptcy case; or (3) convert its case to chapter 7.
The Debtor believes it will prevail in the unlawful detainer trial
and prove that it is still within its agreed upon lease term. The
unlawful detainer trial is presently scheduled to commence in
August 2026. To the extent the Debtor does not prevail, this Plan
will need to be amended to take into account such a scenario and
further developments will need to occur with respect to an
adjudication of the Debtor's and its landlord's rights and
remedies, before the Debtor will be able to propose Plan amendments
that take into account that scenario.
The Debtor projects that, to the extent this Plan proceeds to
confirmation and is confirmed, the Effective Date of this Plan will
occur during the fourth quarter of 2026, first quarter of 2027, at
which point the Debtor projects it will have funds available to pay
all Allowed Claims in full, provided that, to the extent the Debtor
does not have sufficient funds on the Effective Date, all of the
projected disposable income of the Debtor to be received in the up
to three-year period after the Effective Date, commencing during
the first full month after the Effective Date, will be applied to
make payments under this Plan until Allowed Claims are paid in
full.
Class 4 consists of Allowed General Unsecured Claims. Allowed
General Unsecured Claims will be paid in full on the Effective Date
of the Plan, provided that to the extent the Debtor does not have
sufficient funds on the Effective Date, all of the projected
disposable income of the Debtor to be received in the up to
three-year period after the Effective Date, commencing during the
first full month after the Effective Date, will be applied to make
payments under this Plan until Allowed Claims are paid in full.
The allowed unsecured claims total $2,926,970.13 to $7,372,540.55.
Class 4 is Unimpaired, provided that to the extent the Debtor does
not have sufficient funds on the Effective Date to pay all Allowed
General Unsecured Claims in full, Class 4 shall be deemed to be
impaired.
Class 5 consists of Barry Kohn, who owns 100% of the Equity
Interests in the Debtor. On the Effective Date, Mr. Kohn will
retain his 100% ownership of the Equity Interests in the Debtor.
This Plan will be funded from the Debtor's cash on hand on the
Effective Date and to the extent necessary and until the payment in
full of Allowed Claims, all of the projected disposable income of
the Debtor to be received during the three-year period commencing
on the first month after the Effective Date. The Debtor projects
that it will have sufficient cash on hand on the Effective Date to
pay all Allowed Claims as provided in this Plan.

CIMG INC: Fiscal Q2 Loss Jumps to $15.4M; Liquidity Concerns Loom
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CIMG, Inc. has filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, reporting a net loss of
$15.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared
to a net loss of $385,556 for the same period in the prior year.
For the six-month period ended March 31, 2026, the Company reported
a net loss of $34.9 million, compared to a net loss of $1.9 million
in the corresponding prior-year period.
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $3.2
million, compared to no revenue in the prior-year period. Revenues
for the six months ended March 31, 2026 increased to approximately
$19 million from $22,853 in the same period of the prior year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since the Company's inception in 2011, it has incurred significant
losses, and as of March 31, 2026, had an accumulated deficit of
approximately $122.10 million. The Company has not yet achieved
profitability and anticipates that it will continue to incur
significant sales and marketing expenses prior to recording
sufficient revenue from its operations to offset these expenses. In
the United States, the Company expects to incur additional losses
because of the costs associated with operating as an
exchange-listed public company. The Company is unable to predict
the extent of any future losses or when it will become profitable,
if at all.
As of the date of this Report, the Company has funded its
operations primarily through proceeds from registered public
offerings and private placements of its Common Stock. The Company's
principal uses of cash include funding operations, product
commercialization and development activities, administrative
support, and working capital requirements.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had a cash balance of $17,025 and
has incurred recurring net losses. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date of
this Report.
Management has evaluated the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern by considering its current cash resources, the value
of its digital assets, and its expected operating expenses over the
next 12 months. Management's plans to alleviate the conditions
giving rise to substantial doubt include seeking additional funding
through public or private equity financings, equity-linked
instruments, or other capital-raising activities. The timing and
availability of such funding are subject to market conditions and
other factors, including the potential exercise of outstanding
warrants by warrant holders.
There can be no assurance that such financing will be available on
acceptable terms, or at all. Accordingly, management has concluded
that substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern has not been alleviated.

indemnification agreement for officers and directors with Mr.
Aloian.
About Claros Mortgage Trust Inc.
Claros Mortgage Trust Inc. -- https://www.clarosmortgage.com/ -- is
a real estate investment trust that is focused primarily on
originating senior and subordinate loans on transitional commercial
real estate assets located in major markets across the U.S. CMTG is
externally managed and advised by Claros REIT Management LP, an
affiliate of Mack Real Estate Credit Strategies, L.P.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $4.7 billion in total
assets, $3.2 billion in total liabilities, and $1.5 billion in
total stockholders' equity
* * *
On Feb. 4, 2026, S&P Global Ratings raised its issuer credit rating
on Claros Mortgage Trust Inc. to 'CCC+' from 'CCC'. The outlook was
stable. S&P subsequently withdrew its rating at the issuer's
request.
Claros' repayment of its term loan B due in August 2026 alleviates
near-term refinancing risk. On Feb. 2, 2026, the company announced
that it closed on a new $500 million, four-year secured term loan
credit facility. The loan was provided by investment funds and
accounts managed by HPS Investment Partners LLC. . . S&P said, "At
the time of the rating withdrawal, the stable outlook reflected our
expectation that despite alleviated near term refinancing risk, we
believe asset quality remains weak, and Claros has a significant
number of challenged investments to work through. Additionally,
while modified covenants as part of the transaction provide
near-term cushion, we continue to have concerns about the company's
interest coverage covenant over the medium-term (it begins to be
tested again starting Sept. 30, 2027)."
CLEAR CHANNEL: Stockholders OK Mubadala-TWG Acquisition
-------------------------------------------------------
Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. held a special meeting of
stockholders at which the stockholders voted to approve the
Company's pending acquisition by an investor consortium comprised
of affiliates and/or certain investment funds advised by Mubadala
Capital, in partnership with TWG Global.
As of the close of business on April 6, 2026, the record date for
the Special Meeting, there were 506,416,345 shares of the Company's
common stock, par value $0.01 per share, outstanding and entitled
to vote at the Special Meeting, each of which was entitled to one
vote per share with respect to each proposal voted on at the
Special Meeting. A total of 411,434,631 shares of Company Common

rating, the B2 senior secured notes and senior secured bank credit
facilities ratings (including the revolving credit facility (RCF)
and Term Loan B (TLB)), and the Caa3 senior unsecured notes
ratings. Previously, the outlook was stable. The company's SGL-2
Speculative Grade Liquidity Rating (SGL) remains unchanged.
COAST CAPITAL: DBRS Confirms BB(high) on NVCC Subordinated Debt
---------------------------------------------------------------
DBRS Limited (Morningstar DBRS) confirmed Coast Capital Savings
Federal Credit Union's (Coast Capital or the Credit Union) credit
ratings, including its Long-Term Issuer Rating of BBB (high) and
Short-Term Issuer Rating of R-1 (low). The trend on all credit
ratings is Stable. Coast Capital's Intrinsic Assessment (IA) was
maintained at BBB (high) while its Support Assessment is SA3, which
reflects no expectation of timely systemic support. As a result,
the Credit Union's Long-Term Issuer Rating is equivalent to its
IA.
Ratings
Debt Rated Rating Action
---------- ------ ------
Long-Term Issuer Rating BBB(high) Confirmed
Short-Term Issuer Rating R-1(low) Confirmed
Long-Term Senior Debt BBB(high) Confirmed
Short-Term Instruments R-1(low) Confirmed
NVCC Subordinated Debt BB(high) Confirmed
Subordinated Debt BBB Confirmed
KEY CREDIT RATING CONSIDERATIONS
The credit rating confirmations and Stable trends reflect Coast
Capital's strong franchise in its main footprint areas and
increased scale as a result of the merger with Prospera Credit
Union (Prospera) and Sunshine Coast Credit Union (Sunshine), which
was completed on May 6, 2026. The combined Credit Union has nearly
$41 billion in assets under administration, 2,500 employees, more
than 730,000 members, and over 70 branches across British Columbia
(B.C. or the Province; rated AA with a Stable trend). Morningstar
DBRS notes that the completed merger will have a limited impact on
Coast Capital's credit profile in the short term, but the merger is
expected to create cost synergies and better position the Credit
Union for a national expansion, with the merged entity maintaining
a broadly similar risk and credit profile to that of Coast Capital.
Additionally, the Credit Union's funding and liquidity position and
capital levels are good, comparable with other credit union peers.
The credit ratings also consider Coast Capital's weakened
profitability and credit quality metrics amid a challenging
operating environment. Although credit quality has modestly
deteriorated over the past two years, delinquencies remain
manageable. Further, Morningstar DBRS views Coast Capital's limited
experience in merger transactions and post-merger integration as
potentially posing challenges, particularly in terms of operational
risk. Additionally, Morningstar DBRS remains concerned about
heightened geopolitical tensions and lingering tariff-related
macroeconomic uncertainty, including the pending review of the
Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement. This, coupled with
challenges in residential construction and a soft housing market,
could affect industries critical to the Canadian economy,
particularly in B.C., where Coast Capital has concentration risk
given its relatively large exposure to commercial real estate and
construction.
Coast Capital's IA of BBB (high) has been assigned at the midpoint
of the IA Range, as Morningstar DBRS views the Credit Union's
credit fundamentals and performance as commensurate with those of
similarly rated peers.
CREDIT RATING DRIVERS
Morningstar DBRS would upgrade the credit ratings if the Credit
Union were to materially strengthen its franchise through increased
scale and an increase in membership leading to a sustained
improvement in earnings, while maintaining a similar risk profile.
Conversely, Morningstar DBRS would downgrade Coast Capital's credit
ratings if there were significant operational issues with the
merger integration. In addition, Morningstar DBRS would downgrade
the credit ratings if sustained weaker earnings metrics were to
become more commensurate with those of lower-rated peers, or if
there were a sustained deterioration in asset quality.
CREDIT RATING RATIONALE
Franchise Combined Building Block Assessment: Good/Moderate
Following completion of the merger, Coast Capital is now the
largest credit union in Canada by total assets, with over $31
billion combined on-balance sheet assets (using year-end 2025
figures), more than 730,000 members and 70 branches in the Lower
Mainland, Vancouver Island, the South Sunshine Coast, and the
Okanagan. The combined Credit Union offers a retail and small
business commercial product suite and has both a digital platform
and a national presence through its commercial leasing
subsidiaries: Coast Capital Equipment Finance Ltd. and Coast
Capital Auto & Equipment Finance Ltd. The combined Credit Union is
expected to benefit from the increased scale and enhanced digital
banking technology and tools, supporting members and businesses
with any future expansion outside B.C.
Earnings Combined Building Block Assessment: Moderate/Weak
Coast Capital's standalone earnings have been under pressure in
recent years as a result of liabilities repricing faster than
assets. In 2025, net income improved slightly to $17 million from
$15 million in the prior year, representing a return on average
assets of 0.07%, unchanged from 2024, according to Morningstar
DBRS' calculation. Earnings were driven by revenue growth,
partially offset by higher expenses, which were up by 5% year over
year (YOY) partly due to merger-related expenses ($6.1 million).
Provision for credit losses was stable at $45 million and continued
to be driven by delinquencies and write-offs with respect to the
equipment finance portfolio amid a challenging environment within
the sector. Additionally, revenue grew by 5.4% YOY in 2025, driven
by the increases from both net interest income and noninterest
income. The increase in net interest income was driven by
considerably lower interest expense as a result of several interest
rate cuts by the Bank of Canada (BoC). Noninterest income had a
healthy 6.6% YOY growth in 2025, reflecting higher wealth
management fees, and accounted for nearly 25% of total revenue. The
efficiency ratio improved slightly to 85.8% in 2025 (as calculated
by Morningstar DBRS) because of revenue growth, but remains at the
high end of the peer average.
Morningstar DBRS expects Prospera and Sunshine Coast to be positive
earnings contributors, albeit still highly reliant on net interest
income. We expect the combined Coast Capital's efficiency ratio to
increase in the near term due to merger-related expenses and
continued technology investment, but to potentially improve over
the longer term due to operating efficiency and cost synergies.
Risk Combined Building Block Assessment: Good/Moderate
The asset quality of the Credit Union remained good with loan
losses at manageable levels. In 2025, Coast Capital continued to
grow its loan book by a moderate 1.8% YOY to $19.4 billion, driven
by all business segments except for commercial lending, which was
affected by the lower demand for large development project
financing. The deterioration of the gross impaired loans ratio to
0.77% in 2025 from 0.66% in the prior year was largely driven by
the retail and commercial portfolios, reflecting the continued
pressures from the operating environment. The underlying assets of
the equipment finance portfolio remained under pressure due to
lower demand and rising operating expenses, particularly in the
owner-operated trucking segment. Nonetheless, it accounted for only
5.3% of the total loan book as of December 31, 2025. Overall,
Morningstar DBRS expects credit quality metrics to continue to
deteriorate due to uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment
from U.S. tariff threats and the trade war.
The combined entity will have a broadly similar risk profile to
that of Coast Capital standalone, with Prospera and Sunshine Coast
having a higher exposure to retail loans, primarily comprising
mortgages.
Funding and Liquidity Combined Building Block Assessment:
Strong/Good
Coast Capital's funding remains resilient with prudent levels of
liquidity, and unlike provincial credit unions, it has direct
access to BoC contingency liquidity programs. The Credit Union is
funded largely through member-sourced deposits, which Morningstar
DBRS views as stable. Total deposits increased by 4.3% year over
year to $19.3 billion in 2025, with the majority coming from retail
and commercial members. Coast Capital has also been expanding the
agency and institutional funding network to generate additional
liquidity, accounting for nearly 25% of total deposits as of
December 31, 2025, the majority of which are fixed-term,
nonredeemable deposits. Morningstar DBRS views these deposits less
favourably than member deposits. In addition, Coast Capital had
around $1.6 billion in wholesale funding at the end of F2025, which
included secured borrowing through the Canada Mortgage Bond
program, deposit notes, short-term commercial paper, and
subordinated debt. The Credit Union also has additional liquidity
sources and contingency funding plans in place. According to
Morningstar DBRS' calculation, the Credit Union's liquid assets
stood at about 13.8% of total assets, while its liquidity coverage
ratio stood at 204% as of year-end 2025, well above OSFI's 100%
required minimum.
Morningstar DBRS expects the combined entity to be primarily funded
by member deposits, maintain good liquidity coverage ratios, and
have access to various credit facilities.
Capitalisation Combined Building Block Assessment: Good/Moderate
Morningstar DBRS views the Credit Union's capital levels as good
with a sufficient cushion over regulatory minimums. Coast Capital's
Common Equity Tier 1 ratio stood at 12.8% as at December 31, 2025.
At this level, it provides the Credit Union with a CET1 capital
cushion of $646 million over the minimum regulatory requirement to
absorb potential losses in the stressed environment.
Morningstar DBRS expects the combined entity will continue to have
an ample buffer above this higher minimum requirement.
Additionally, the combined credit union, similar to peers, has
limited flexibility to raise external capital because of their
co-operative nature.
ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL, AND GOVERNANCE CONSIDERATIONS
ESG Considerations had a relevant effect on the credit analysis.
Social (S) Factors
The following Social factor had a relevant effect on the credit
analysis: Morningstar DBRS views the Social Impact of Products and
Services ESG subfactor as credit positive for the credit ratings,
but it does not affect the assigned credit ratings or trends. As a
credit union, Coast Capital operates a membership-based community
banking model where the social aspect of its activities strengthens
its franchise. As a result, this factor is incorporated into the
Credit Union's Franchise Strength grid grades.
There were no Environmental/Governance factors that had a
significant or relevant effect on the credit analysis.

the Morningstar DBRS analytical framework can be found in the

Governance Factors in Credit Ratings (May 16, 2025)

CORE SCIENTIFIC I: Fitch Assigns 'BB-' LongTerm IDR, Outlook Stable
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned Core Scientific Finance I LLC's (Core
Scientific I) proposed $3.3 billion senior secured notes a 'BB-'
rating and the issuer a Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) of
'BB-'. The Rating Outlook is Stable.
The ratings reflect a contracted, CoreWeave, Inc. (BB-/Positive)
backed AI/high-performance computing data center platform with
manageable completion risk. Cash flow during the initial lease term
is sufficient to repay debt under Fitch's rating case assumptions,
eliminating exposure to lease renewal risk. Licensing agreements
cover five sites, with most having 12-year terms with two five-year
extensions and 3.5% escalators; the Austin facility has a
seven-year term and 3.0% escalator. The platform is fully
pre-licensed to CoreWeave, supporting about 590 MW of critical IT
load.
The rating is constrained by CoreWeave's credit profile and the
project's ability to raise more debt for an expansion or additional
project, which is atypical for project finance structures.
Conditions include a lease backed by a qualifying tenant or
backstop, loan-to-cost below 85%, and for pari passu debt, maturity
and weighted-average life limits.
KEY RATING DRIVERS
Completion Risk - Stronger
Advanced Stage of Construction, Strong Contractual Protection
Advanced construction and strong contractual protections support
the completion risk assessment. Approximately 350 MW is energized,
more than 185 MW is already billed and all long-lead items are
secured. Core Scientific I has delivered on prior data center
projects, providing a record of executing and delivering projects
on time. The technical advisor has confirmed that the platform is
largely operational (except the Dalton 4 facility), with
procurement risk largely mitigated and most key equipment
delivered.
Delay risk is mitigated as the technical advisor indicates residual
scope is limited across most sites and schedule changes partly
reflect tenant-led specification revisions. The structure includes
a parent completion guarantee, and a debt service reserve sized at
about six months of post-construction debt service, which provides
liquidity in case of completion delays. Although completion delays
beyond 120 days can trigger termination, substantial construction
progress mitigates this risk.
Supply Risk - Midrange
Diversified Grid Connectivity Sufficient
The diversified supply base supports the 'Midrange' assessment,
while interruptible arrangements and curtailment provisions at
selected sites prevent a stronger assessment. The risk is mitigated
by redundancies in transformer feeds to the facilities and the
presence of back-up generators, although not fully sized to back up
the entire IT load. The portfolio has 891 MW of secured grid
capacity across five sites in Texas, Oklahoma, Georgia and North
Carolina, supporting 590 MW of net critical IT capacity. Power is
sourced from multiple providers across ERCOT, SPP and regional
municipal utilities.
Revenue Risk - Stronger
Long-Term Contracted Cash Flow with Limited Renewal Risk
The stronger revenue risk assessment is supported by five separate
take-or-pay licensing agreements with CoreWeave — four 12-year
agreements (Denton, Dalton, Muskogee, and Marble) with two
five-year extension options and 3.5% annual escalators, and one
seven-year agreement (Austin) with no extension options and a 3.0%
escalator. CoreWeave is required to pay for contracted capacity
regardless of utilization.
Debt can fully amortize within the initial lease terms with no
reliance on renewal under the Fitch rating case, supporting the
'Stronger' assessment. This is partially offset by single-tenant
concentration risk and secondary market location. The tenant does
not have termination rights for convenience.
Operation Risk - Midrange
Limited Operating Scope, Modified Gross Lease
The assessment reflects material cost pass-throughs and limited
operating scope, but the leases are modified gross with power costs
passed on to CoreWeave. Core Scientific retains responsibility for
certain licensor equipment and for security operations and
maintenance in common areas and non-CoreWeave premises. Chronic
service failures can trigger termination but redundant transformer
feeds and some back-up generators mitigate this risk.
Infrastructure Development & Obsolescence Risk - Neutral
Modern Facilities with Low Medium-Term Maintenance Needs
Exposure to technological obsolescence is limited, as debt can
fully amortize within the lease term under Fitch's rating case.
Fitch expects the useful life of the newly built facilities and the
data centers' core mechanical and electrical systems to extend
beyond the initial lease term, which reduces the likelihood of
large capital needs.
Debt Structure - 1 - Weaker
Refinance Risk, Additional Debt Flexibility
The $3.3 billion senior secured notes mature in 2031, creating
refinancing risk, particularly given the sponsor's limited
refinancing record. This is mitigated by amortization of the debt
in the initial lease term under the Fitch rating case, a fully
funded debt service reserve account (DSRA) sized to six months of
debt service, and fully funded interest during construction. The
notes are secured by first-priority liens on substantially all
assets, contracts, grid connections and cash flows, with lease
payments flowing through agent-controlled lockbox accounts.
Debt provisions are weaker than typical for project finance
structures. Permitted additional debt includes a 50% of NOI basket,
ability to regear up to 100% loan to cost post-construction subject
to a 1.1x debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) incurrence test, and
ability to undertake additional projects. The lease, completion,
and operating risk profiles of additional projects are unknown and
could be substantially weaker than current projects. The issuer may
undertake mergers or consolidations without rating affirmation or
enter JVs. However, it cannot issue additional debt beyond
permitted allowance.
Peer Analysis
The closest peers are Cipher Compute LLC (BB-/Stable), WULF Compute
LLC (BB/Stable) and APLD ComputeCo LLC (BB-Stable). Unlike the
ratings on Core Scientific I, those on WULF Compute and Cipher
Compute are constrained by completion risk. Similar to the rating
on Core Scientific I, APLD Compute's rating is constrained by debt
raising flexibility and counterparty credit risk.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Negative
Rating Action/Downgrade
- Construction delays that exceed allowable times as indicated in
the lease terms, leading to potential tenant termination;
- Degradation of the financial performance leading to sustained
DSCR below 1.05x;
- The rating could be downgraded if the expansion or additional
project faces elevated completion risk from delays or cost
overruns, or if the additional project has a tenant with weak
credit quality;
- Downgrade of CoreWeave's rating.
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Positive
Rating Action/Upgrade
- Positive rating action is unlikely due to the risk associated
with the potential additional project of unknown lease term,
completion and operating risk profile.
Financial Profile
The operating phase financial profile demonstrates strong
performance post-completion for the current project. Under Fitch's
rating case, which incorporates a 10% opex stress and assumes an 8%
refinancing rate, the project life coverage ratio at refinancing in
2031 is 1.54x. The average DSCR through notes maturity is 1.13x.
The rating remains constrained by the project's ability to raise
additional debt, subject to a pro forma DSCR of at least 1.1x, and
undertake additional projects.
TRANSACTION SUMMARY
Core Scientific Finance I LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary
of Core Scientific, Inc., is issuing $3.3 billion of senior secured
notes maturing in 2031 at 7.75% per annum. Proceeds fund $2.9
billion of general corporate purposes, a DSRA funded with six
months of debt service and net interest during construction, , and
financing fees.
While Fitch has received the executed financing and security
documents, the mortgage has not yet been delivered. The indenture
gives the issuer up to 180 days following closing to deliver the
mortgage and related real estate deliverables.
SECURITY
First lien on all assets, contracts and cash flows of, and equity
interests in the CoreWeave contracted sites.
Date of Relevant Committee
April 28, 2026
Climate Vulnerability Signals
The results of its Climate.VS screener did not indicate elevated
risk for Core Scientific Finance I 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.

COREWEAVE INC: Fitch Affirms 'BB-' LongTerm IDR, Outlook Positive
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has affirmed CoreWeave, Inc.'s Long-Term Issuer
Default Rating (IDR) at 'BB-'. The Outlook is Positive. Fitch has
also affirmed the 'BB-' rating and 'RR4' Recovery Rating on the
company's unsecured notes and the 'BB+'/'RR2' rating on DDTL 5.0, a
senior secured delayed-draw term loan borrowed by a subsidiary
special-purpose vehicle.
The affirmation and Positive Outlook reflect continued strong
revenue growth, improving EBITDA and a path to deleveraging as
capacity ramps under signed customer contracts, balanced against
slower deleveraging and free cash flow (FCF) improvement than
previously anticipated. The slower improvement reflects
stronger-than-expected contract wins, which have required
additional capacity investment, mostly funded with debt. The
ratings remain constrained by high leverage, customer concentration
and negative FCF during the current investment phase.
Fitch has withdrawn the 'BB-'/'RR4' rating on the convertible notes
for commercial reasons.
Key Rating Drivers
Credit Metrics to Improve: Fitch expects CoreWeave's credit profile
to improve materially over the next two years, although leverage
and FCF will remain weak in FY2026 during the current investment
phase. Gross EBITDA leverage, excluding leases, increased to 7.0x
in FY2025, and Fitch forecasts it will improve to about 5.2x in
FY2026. Lease-adjusted gross leverage was 7.7x in FY2025, and Fitch
forecasts it will improve to about 5.8x in FY2026. Over the medium
term, EBITDA leverage excluding leases should improve to 2.0x-3.0x,
while lease-adjusted leverage should improve to 3.0x-4.0x.
The pace of deleveraging is linked to continued capacity investment
following strong contract wins, with funding supported by debt and
lease obligations. Fitch expects capital intensity to peak in 2026,
with FCF and leverage improving thereafter.
High Customer Concentration: Customer concentration remains high.
CoreWeave generated about 65% of 1Q26 revenue from its top two
customers, with no other customer representing 10% or more. OpenAI
and Meta should become significant customers, while newer
relationships with Anthropic and Jane Street support improving
customer diversification. Revenue will likely remain concentrated
in a small number of large counterparties. This exposes CoreWeave
to non-renewal risk, customer insourcing, and potential
counterparty risk.
Robust Revenue Visibility: As of March 31, 2026, CoreWeave's
revenue backlog was $99.4 billion, up sharply from year-end 2025.
About 36% is scheduled to be recognized within 24 months and 75%
within four years. Multi-year customer contracts with take-or-pay
features support strong revenue visibility and cash flow
generation, although visibility beyond the contracted period is
weaker. CoreWeave generally invests in GPU-related capex after
signing long-term customer contracts, aligning new GPU deployment
with contracted demand.
Longer-Term Visibility Less Clear: Visibility is weaker beyond the
current contracted period over approximately the next five years,
when CoreWeave will depend more on contract renewals, replacement
contracts, and continued customer demand to sustain growth.
Customer concentration remains a risk, including potential
insourcing by hyperscalers. The company's short operating history
and the rapid pace of change in AI hardware and workloads also add
uncertainty to its longer-term business profile.
Potential Lease Term Mismatch Risk: CoreWeave faces a potential
risk due to the mismatch between the terms of its leases with data
center suppliers and its contracts with customers. While its leases
typically span up to 15 years, its customer contracts generally
have shorter durations of three to five years. This disparity
creates challenges in aligning long-term obligations with
shorter-term revenue streams, exposing CoreWeave to the risk of
having to meet lease commitments without guaranteed customer
income. The company typically manages this risk by building enough
of a buffer into its contract terms to mitigate the impact of
contract length mismatches.
Strategic Differentiation and Market Leadership: CoreWeave's
first-mover advantage, partnership with Nvidia, and top-tier
performance metrics bolster its competitive position against
hyperscalers and smaller, AI-focused cloud providers. Its AI
specialization also helps it compete specifically against
hyperscalers. Managed software and application services integrated
into its technology stack further differentiate its offerings.
However, the competitive landscape poses a significant risk over
time as companies rapidly invest in their own infrastructure,
potentially challenging CoreWeave's market position and requiring
continuous innovation to maintain its leadership.
AI Demand Supports Growth: CoreWeave is positioned to benefit from
the broader AI buildout, which Fitch views as a multi-year
investment cycle supported by strong demand for AI services. Fitch
estimates AI services revenue could reach about $800 billion to
$1.4 trillion a year by 2030, with more than 95% tied to business
applications. As enterprise and embedded AI adoption expands,
demand should support continued investment in compute cloud
capacity, data centers and related infrastructure. As an
independent AI compute cloud provider, CoreWeave is positioned to
benefit from sustained demand for scalable, GPU-based
infrastructure.
Peer Analysis
CoreWeave operates in digital infrastructure but differs from most
rated peers in its business model and risk profile. Equinix, Inc.
(BBB+/Stable) and Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (BBB/Stable) benefit
from diversified customer bases, low churn, large global platforms
and conservative financial policies. Their ratings are supported by
real estate-based business models, long operating records and more
stable cash flow.
CoreWeave provides GPU-based cloud services under multiyear
contracts, but its shorter track record, higher customer
concentration, shorter contract tenor and greater technology risk
lead to higher earnings and cash flow volatility than those of
Equinix and Digital Realty. CoreWeave also faces risk that
customers develop internal capacity or shift demand to larger cloud
providers.
Iridium Communications Inc. (BB/Stable) and Viasat, Inc. (B/Stable)
are closer rating peers because they operate in capital-intensive,
technology-driven sectors with meaningful execution risk.
CoreWeave's rating reflects its strong growth prospects, but also
its limited diversification and greater exposure to changes in
technology and customer demand.
Fitch’s Key Rating-Case Assumptions
- Total revenue growing to approximately $13 billion in fiscal
2026, approximately $24 billion in fiscal 2027 and $27 billion in
fiscal 2028, with growth rates moderating thereafter, assuming
recognition on existing RPOs along with incremental future contract
wins;
- EBITDA margins somewhat pressured in fiscal 2026 due to costs
associated with new contract wins, expanding to the mid-to-high 60%
range thereafter, driven by operating leverage;
- Capex of around $33 billion in fiscal 2026 and $15 billion in
fiscal 2027, with capital intensity normalizing to around 30% over
the medium term, as capex is linked to specific future contracts;
- Incremental future debt issuance to support capex associated with
contract wins;
- No debt repayment assumed beyond mandatory repayment schedules.
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 ('bbb', Lower), sector characteristics
('b+', Moderate), market and competitive positioning ('bb+',
Moderate), diversification and asset quality ('b', Higher), company
operational characteristics ('bbb-', Moderate), profitability
('bbb-', Moderate), financial structure ('bb-', Higher), and
financial flexibility ('bb+', Moderate).
The quantitative financial subfactors are based on custom CRT
financial period parameters: 20% weight for the forecast year 2026,
40% for the forecast year 2027 and 40% for the forecast year 2028.
The governance assessment of 'good' has no impact.
The operating environment assessment of 'aa-' has no impact.
The SCP is 'bb-'.
To derive the Long-Term IDR:
Fitch made no adjustments to the SCP, resulting in an IDR of
'BB-'.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Negative
Rating Action/Downgrade
- EBITDA leverage (excluding leases) sustained above 4.0x or
lease-adjusted leverage sustained above 5.0x;
- Failure to achieve positive FCF over the medium to long term due
to operational weakness rather than stronger new contract growth;
- Continued reliance on a limited number of revenue sources or
major contracts, increasing vulnerability to adverse changes in
customer relationships or industry conditions;
- Inability to access additional debt capital on favorable terms to
support its growth strategy.
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Positive
Rating Action/Upgrade
- EBITDA leverage (excluding leases) sustained below 3.0x or
lease-adjusted leverage sustained below 4.0x;
- Expansion into new markets or services that diversify revenue
streams and reduce dependence on a few large customers, improving
business resilience;
- Demonstrated ability to consistently renew or replace major
customer contracts, ensuring stable revenue flow and minimizing
disruption from contract expirations.
Liquidity and Debt Structure
Fitch expects CoreWeave to have sufficient liquidity. As of March
2026, the company had $2.2 billion in cash and equivalents and
marketable securities, as well as $686 million capacity available
under its $2.5 billion RCF. After the first quarter ended,
CoreWeave repaid the outstanding balance on its RCF. Fitch expects
that high capex in FY2026 and FY2027 will continue to pressure FCF,
which will likely necessitate additional debt financing sources in
2026 and 2027 to support execution on the company's growth plans.
As of March 2026, pro forma for recent transactions, CoreWeave's
debt consists of a refundable deposit classified as debt with
Magnetar of $281 million (NR), OEM financing arrangements of $5
billion (NR), unsecured high-yield notes of $6.5 billion (BB-/RR4),
unsecured convertible notes of $6.5 billion (NR), and SPV-level
DDTLs, including DDTL 4.0 ('A-sf') and DDTL 5.0 ('BB+'/RR2), along
with various other DDTLs (DDTL 1.0, DDTL 2.0, DDTL 2.1, and DDTL
3.0) (NR).
Issuer Profile
CoreWeave provides GPU-based cloud infrastructure for AI/ML,
rendering, and other compute-intensive workloads. Its cloud
platform combines proprietary software with managed services. As of
March 2026, CoreWeave's footprint spanned 49 active data centers,
mainly accessed via long-term leases and hosting arrangements.
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 CoreWeave, Inc.
ESG Considerations
CoreWeave, Inc. has an ESG Relevance Score of '4' for Governance
Structure due to concentrated shareholder voting power and an
organizational structure that is somewhat more complex than
average. This has a negative impact on the credit profile, and is
relevant to the rating[s] in conjunction with other factors.
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.

CORNERSTONE CHARTER: S&P Lowers Revenue Bond Rating to 'BB+'
------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings lowered its long-term rating to 'BB+' from
'BBB-' on the Public Finance Authority, Wisconsin's series 2024
education revenue bonds, Issued for Cornerstone Charter Academy
(CCA), North Carolina.
At the same time, S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'BB+' long-term
rating to the Public Finance Authority's $24.22 million series 2026
education revenue bonds, issued for CCA.
The outlook is stable.
The lowered rating reflects S&P's view of CCA's anticipated use of
reserves to fund its upcoming construction project, which is
expected to weaken days' cash on hand (DCOH) to levels commensurate
with the lower rating.
S&P views environmental, social, and governance factors as neutral
in the credit rating analysis.
S&P said, "The stable outlook reflects our expectation that CCA
will sustain healthy demand metrics, generate positive operating
performance such that pro forma lease-adjusted MADS coverage is
sufficient for the rating, and modestly increase its liquidity
position following the anticipated drawdown for the project.
"We could consider a negative rating action if demand metrics
weaken substantially, if operating performance falls materially
short of historical levels, or if the anticipated drawdown in
liquidity is larger than planned. We would view any additional debt
without a commensurate increase in revenue, though unexpected, as a
negative credit factor.
"While such a scenario is unlikely over the outlook period given
the elevated debt metrics, we could consider a positive rating
action if financial operating results improve such that
lease-adjusted MADS coverage levels are in line with higher-rated
peers, with growth in liquidity and moderation of debt metrics and
maintenance of the demand profile."
CRANE ENTERPRISES: Disallowance of Cranes' Proofs of Claim Affirmed
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Denise Cote of the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of New York denied the two appeals filed by Michael E.
Crane and his son Daniel M. Crane in the bankruptcy case of Crane
Enterprises, LLC.
On March 4, 2025, Crane Enterprises, LLC (the "Debtor") filed a
voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code.
The Debtor, Crane Enterprises LLC, is a New York limited liability
company that holds a single asset: 99 shares in a two-bedroom
cooperative apartment located in Long Beach, New York that has been
valued at an amount less than $1 million (the "Apartment"), and a
corresponding proprietary lease to possess the apartment.
On March 5, 2025, the Debtor commenced an adversary proceeding in
the Bankruptcy Court, seeking an order directing Michael and Daniel
Crane to turn over possession of the Apartment to the Debtor under
Sec. 542 of the Bankruptcy Code.
On July 29, the Bankruptcy Court rejected the Cranes' arguments and
granted the Debtor summary judgment on the turnover claim, and, on
July 30, issued an order directing Michael and Daniel to turn over
possession of the Apartment. On August 20, the Bankruptcy Court
denied reconsideration and a stay of its turnover order and, on
August 22, the Bankruptcy Court granted the Debtor's motion to
evict the Defendants from the Apartment.
The Debtor's Chapter 11 case continued while the turnover and
eviction proceedings were being adjudicated. On August 29 and 31,
2025, Michael Crane and Daniel Crane filed the proofs of claim at
issue in this appeal. The Cranes' claims sought damages on the
theory that they were wrongfully evicted from the Apartment that
they had a right to occupy based on the alleged "lifetime lease."
The Debtor objected to these claims, explaining that the eviction
was valid pursuant to the Bankruptcy Court's August 22 eviction
order. On October 29, the Bankruptcy Court granted the Debtor's
objection, rejected the Cranes' "wrongful eviction" arguments, and
entered an order disallowing and expunging the Cranes' claims.
In parallel, on September 22, the Cranes filed a motion to
dismiss the Chapter 11 case. The Cranes urged the Bankruptcy
Court to dismiss the case "for cause" pursuant to Sec. 112(b) of
the Bankruptcy Code because they claimed that it was filed
without the requisite authority and in bad faith. On
November 17, the Bankruptcy Court denied the motion. The
Bankruptcy Court concluded, after considering the totality
of the circumstances, that the Debtor filed for bankruptcy in
good faith and that no "cause" existed to justify dismissal.
The Cranes appealed the Bankruptcy Court's October 29
denial of their proofs of claim on November 6. They then appealed
the Bankruptcy Court's November 17 denial of their motion to
dismiss the day it was issued.
The Cranes' appeal from the denial of their motion to dismiss the
Chapter 11 filing is dismissed on the ground that this Court lacks
jurisdiction to review an interlocutory order.
The Cranes' appeal from the disallowance of their proofs of claim
is denied on the merits. The Cranes' claims asserted damages based
solely on the theory that they were wrongfully evicted from the
Apartment that they had a right to occupy pursuant to the alleged
"lifetime lease." The Bankruptcy Court concluded that the Cranes'
eviction from the Apartment was not wrongful because it was
conducted pursuant to a valid eviction order, which has also been
affirmed in this Court's April 6, 2026 Opinion.

CYCLERION THERAPEUTICS: Q1 2026 Net Loss Widens to $3.2 Million
---------------------------------------------------------------
Cyclerion Therapeutics, Inc. has filed its Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, reporting a
net loss of $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026,
compared to a net loss of $1.4 million for the same period in the
prior year. The Company had no revenues for the three months ended
March 31, 2026, compared to $81 thousand in the prior-year period.
The Merger Agreement
On April 1, 2026, Cyclerion entered into a Plan of Merger and
Reorganization with Korsana Biosciences, Inc., a privately held
biotechnology company discovering and developing novel therapies to
reduce the burden of neurodegenerative diseases, pursuant to which
among other matters, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of
the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Cariboos Merger
Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation, will merge with and into
Korsana, with Korsana continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of
Cyclerion and the surviving corporation of the merger, and Korsana
will merge with and into Cariboos Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company, with Second Merger Sub being the
surviving entity of the merger. After the completion of the Merger,
Second Merger Sub will change its corporate name to "Korsana
Biosciences Operating Company, LLC" and Cyclerion will change its
name to "Korsana Biosciences, Inc." Cyclerion following the Merger
is referred to herein as the "Combined Company." Cyclerion
anticipates that the Merger will close in the third quarter of
2026, subject to certain closing conditions, along with the
concurrent Korsana Pre-Closing Financing. Following the Merger, the
current business of Korsana will become the primary business of
Cyclerion.
Going Concern
On March 31, 2026, the Company had approximately $2.8 million of
unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. In addition, as of March
31, 2026, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $274.2
million.
The Company expects that its cash and cash equivalents as of March
31, 2026, will be sufficient to fund operations into the third
quarter of 2026, however the Company will need to obtain additional
funding to sustain operations as it expects to continue to generate
operating losses for the foreseeable future. The Company's
expectation to generate negative operating cash flows in the future
and the need for additional funding to support its planned
operations, raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern. Management's plans to alleviate the
conditions that raise substantial doubt include reduced spending,
and the pursuit of additional capital. Management has concluded the
likelihood that its plan to successfully obtain sufficient funding,
or adequately reduce expenditures, while reasonably possible, is
less than probable. Accordingly, the Company has concluded that
substantial doubt exists about the Company's ability to continue as
a going concern. The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the
realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the
ordinary course of business. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of
the uncertainties.
The Company's future operations are highly dependent on the success
of the Merger and there can be no assurances that the Merger will
be successfully consummated. If the Merger is not consummated, the
Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents as of March 31,
2026 would be adequate to fund its operating expenses into the
third quarter of 2026. However, in order to continue development of
its programs, the Company would need to secure substantial
additional funding in the future, from one or more equity or debt
financings, collaborations, or other sources. Additional funding
may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all.
The Company's Board of Directors may also decide to pursue a
dissolution and liquidation in lieu of continuing program
development in the event the Merger is not consummated.
Funding Requirements
If the Company is unable to complete the Merger, it expects its
expenses to fluctuate as it continues to maintain out-license
opportunities and potentially seeks to broaden its portfolio
through in-licensing of complementary assets. The Company expects
that its cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026, will be
sufficient to fund operations through the anticipated closing date
of the Merger. As a result, if the Company is unable to complete
the Merger, it will need to obtain additional funding to sustain
operations as it expects to continue to generate operating losses
for the foreseeable future. Failure to obtain necessary capital
when needed would likely delay development of any current or
potential future product candidates, and would likely make it
difficult for the Company to continue its operations. Because there
is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern for a reasonable period of time, an investment in its
common stock is highly speculative; holders of its common stock
could suffer a total loss of their investment.
Because of the many risks and uncertainties associated with
research, development and commercialization of product candidates,
the Company is unable to estimate the exact amount of its working
capital requirements if the Merger is not consummated. The
Company's expenses will fluctuate, and its future funding
requirements will depend on, and could increase or decrease
significantly as a result of many factors, including the:
* scope, progress, results and costs of researching and
developing its current and any potential future product candidates,
and any preclinical studies and clinical trials it may conduct;
* costs, timing and outcome of regulatory review of any
current and any potential future product candidates;
* costs of future activities, including medical affairs,
manufacturing and distribution, of any current or potential future
product candidates for which it receives marketing approval;
* cost and timing of necessary actions to support its
strategic objectives; costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting
patent applications, maintaining and enforcing its intellectual
property rights and defending intellectual property-related claims;
and
* timing, receipt and amount of sales of, or milestone
payments related to or royalties on, its current or potential
future product candidates, if any.
A change in any of these or other variables with respect to the
development of any current or potential future product candidates
could significantly change the costs and timing of the development
of that product candidate.
The Company's future capital requirements will depend primarily on
its ability to complete the Merger. If the Company does not
complete the Merger and until such time, if ever, as it can
generate substantial product revenue, the Company expects to
finance its cash needs through a combination of public or private
equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic
alliances or licensing arrangements with third parties, of which
there can be no assurance. To the extent that the Company raises
additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt
securities, outstanding equity ownership may be materially diluted,
and the terms of securities sold in such transactions could include
liquidation and other preferences and rights that adversely affect
the rights of holders of common stock. Debt financing and preferred
equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include
restrictive covenants that limit the Company's ability to take
specified actions, such as incurring additional debt, making
capital expenditures or declaring dividends. In addition, debt
financing would result in increased fixed payment obligations.
If the Company raises funds through collaborations, strategic
alliances or licensing arrangements with third parties, as to which
raise there can be no assurance, it may have to relinquish rights
to its technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or
product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be
favorable to it. If the Company does not complete the Merger and is
unable to raise funds, it may need to cease operations.

CYPRESS COVE: Fitch Alters Outlook on 'BB+' IDR to Negative
-----------------------------------------------------------
Fitch Ratings has assigned a 'BB+' rating to the following bonds to
be issued by the Lee County Industrial Development Authority (FL)
on behalf of Cypress Cove at HealthPark, Inc (Cypress Cove):
- $86.1 million health care facilities refunding revenue bonds
series 2026.
Fitch has also affirmed Cypress Cove's Issuer Default Rating (IDR)
at 'BB+' and revenue bonds issued on Cypress Cove's behalf at
'BB+'.
The Rating Outlook has been revised to Negative from Stable.
Entity/Debt Rating Prior
----------- ------ -----
Cypress Cove at
Health Park (FL) LT IDR BB+ Affirmed BB+
Cypress Cove at
Health Park (FL)
/General Revenues/1 LT LT BB+ Affirmed BB+
The Outlook revision to Negative reflects the likelihood of a debt
issuance in 2027 to finance Cypress Cove's Harbour Vue project.
While Fitch believes the project will be accretive to the community
and views Cypress Cove's solid demand and robust net entrance fees
as credit strengths, the organization's track record of thin core
operating performance and recent debt issuance gives very limited
cushion with which to absorb the risks of a new project and remain
at the 'BB+' rating.
SECURITY
The bonds are secured by a pledge of gross revenue, a leasehold
mortgage on the community's land, and a debt service reserve fund
(DSRF).
KEY RATING DRIVERS
Revenue Defensibility - bbb
Single-Site LPC with Good Market Position
The 'Midrange' revenue defensibility reflects Cypress Cove's
position as a single-site life plan community (LPC) operating in a
competitive primary market area (PMA), with competition from full
continuum-of-care facilities and others that offer select
continuum-of-care services, such as standalone assisted living (AL)
facilities.
Offsetting the competitive PMA are Cypress Cove's good demand
profile, the steady flow of Medicare rehabilitation referrals
provided by Lee Memorial Health System (LMHS), and a
demographically solid PMA with good population growth. Cypress Cove
boasts a strong waitlist of over 120 members. Entrance fees remain
affordable, although Fitch is monitoring home price dynamics and
potential variability in the local housing market. The weighted
average entrance fee for the Harbour Vue offering is above the
community's existing weighted average, though Fitch views the
velocity of pre-sales for larger units favorably.
IL occupancy is consistent with the 'Midrange' revenue
defensibility assessment, with the five-year average IL occupancy
at 89%. Skilled nursing occupancy was sound in fiscal 2025 at 88%.
Cypress Cove's 64 private skilled nursing units are desirable and
offer a point of differentiation for the LPC's value proposition.
Cypress Cove has renovated skilled nursing units to maintain the
high quality of care. Further underscoring the community's
healthcare draw, assisted living and memory care occupancy were
both robust in fiscal 2025 at 96% and 95%, respectively.
Cypress Cove's size and scale support the 'Midrange' revenue
defensibility assessment as does its relationship with Lee
Healthcare Resources (LHR), which provides scale similar to a
multi-state LPC.
Operating Risk - bbb
Thin Operating Flexibility; Minimal Maintenance Capex Needs
The 'Midrange' operating risk assessment reflects weak cost
management as operating ratios are well above 105% through the
five-year historical period (average of 118%) and fiscal 2025
(115%). Management reports that contract labor was eliminated by
FYE 2025. Weaker operating ratios are offset by Cypress Cove's net
operating margin - adjusted (NOMA), which averaged 25.2% over the
last five fiscal years and was strong at 29% in fiscal 2025.
Fitch has visited Cypress Cove and found the campus
well-maintained. Cypress Cove renovated select campus areas
following Hurricane Ian, which occurred in 2022. Average age of
plant is healthy at 6.8 years in fiscal 2025. Fitch expects minimal
maintenance capex needs over the next few years.
Capital-related metrics are currently sound. MADS as a percent of
revenue and debt-to-net-available measured 12% and 8x in fiscal
2025, respectively.
Proceeds of the Series 2026 Bonds, together with other available
funds, will be used to finance a portion of routine capital
expenditure for fiscal years 2026-2028, refund outstanding bank
renewal risk indebtedness, fund a debt service reserve, and pay
costs of issuance. The Harbour Vue project is expected to begin
construction in early 2027. The pre-sale program began on April
13th, and ILUs are already 33% pre-sold (20 of 60 available units)
with a 10% deposit.
Financial Profile - bb
Greater Leverage in Financial Profile Expected
Given Cypress Cove's 'Midrange" revenue defensibility and operating
risk assessments, and Fitch's forward-looking scenario analysis,
Fitch expects key leverage metrics to remain consistent with the
'bb' financial profile. Days cash on hand (DCOH) remains above 200
days throughout the stress, which is neutral to the assessment.
At FYE 2025, Cypress Cove had $43.4 million of unrestricted cash
and investments, equal to 299 DCOH, as calculated by Fitch.
Cash-to-adjusted debt (including the debt service reserve fund) was
26.6% as of the same period. Total long-term debt of $193.3
includes $52.2 million for Cypress Cove's land lease with its
parent Lee Healthcare Resources (LHR). The fiscal 2024 operating
long-term lease obligation has been restated to $51.7 million from
$41.7 million following management's discovery of certain
accounting errors.
Ground lease payments are included in debt service only when paid.
Payments will be suspended if Cypress Cove does not meet certain
liquidity and debt service coverage tests. Payments accrue interest
if deferred, but they are treated as subordinated affiliate
indebtedness and excluded from coverage metrics, reducing pressure
on bondholder cash flow in periods of stress. Payments for the
Harbour Vue project are expected to be waived until stabilization
is achieved in the proposed new IL tower. The contingent nature of
the ground lease payments under the MTI has been considered in
Fitch's stress case.
Asymmetric Additional Risk Considerations
None.
RATING SENSITIVITIES
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Negative
Rating Action/Downgrade
- Weakening of the financial profile such that cash-to-adjusted
debt stabilizes below 20%;
- Weaker-than-expected debt service coverage such that MADS
stabilizes below 1.5x.
Factors that Could, Individually or Collectively, Lead to Positive
Rating Action/Upgrade
- Positive rating action is unlikely pending completion of the
Harbour Vue project, although positive rating action is possible if
cash-to-adjusted to debt stabilizes above 70% and MADS coverage is
consistently above 2x.
PROFILE
Cypress Cove is a type-A LPC located in Fort Myers, FL. The
community consists of 422 IL units, 44 AL unit (ALU) apartments, 44
memory care apartments, and 64 skilled nursing beds. In fiscal
2025, Cypress Cove had total operating revenue of $58.9 million.
Sources of Information
In addition to the sources of information identified in Fitch's
applicable criteria specified below, this action was informed by
information from DIVER by Solve.
Climate Vulnerability Signals
The results of its Climate.VS screener did not indicate an elevated
risk for Cypress Cove at Health Park (FL).
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

DIOCESE OF BURLINGTON: Chapter 11 Case Legal Bill Hits $2MM
-----------------------------------------------------------
Kevin O'Connor of vtdigger reports that Judge Heather Cooper raised
concerns that the Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington has spent
almost $2 million on legal expenses during its Chapter 11
bankruptcy without presenting a workable restructuring proposal.
The judge warned that escalating professional fees risk leaving
little compensation for survivors alleging sexual abuse by clergy
members.
The diocese entered bankruptcy protection in the fall of 2024 after
prior settlements involving priest misconduct reduced its financial
resources to about $35 million. Federal bankruptcy law requires
payment for both debtor counsel and attorneys representing creditor
committees, contributing to growing administrative costs during the
prolonged proceedings.
Judge Cooper criticized the slow pace of negotiations during a
recent hearing, noting that abuse survivors likely expect
meaningful progress after nearly two years in bankruptcy court.
Lawyers later participated in a closed-door mediation session aimed
at resolving disputes and preserving remaining diocesan assets for
creditors.
The bankruptcy case remains stalled over disagreements concerning
church property ownership. The diocese has identified approximately
$35 million in state-level assets, while abuse claimants seek
information on parish properties worth an estimated $500 million
that were transferred into trusts in 2006. Lawyers representing
survivors contend the trust arrangements may have been intended to
protect church assets from legal claims, the report relays.

DIOCESE OF OGDENSBURG: Reaches $45MM Settlement w/ Abuse Survivors
------------------------------------------------------------------
7 News reports that a $45 million settlement has been reached
between Roman Catholic Diocese of Ogdensburg and individuals
alleging childhood sexual abuse by clergy and church leaders. The
deal covers 125 abuse claims and was announced as part of the
diocese’s ongoing bankruptcy proceedings.
Bishop Terry LaValley said he hopes the settlement process brings
comfort, healing, and peace to survivors as well as parishioners
impacted by the abuse scandal. He acknowledged the severe harm
caused by church leadership failures and said the misconduct should
never be repeated.
The agreement stems from lawsuits filed under New York's Child
Victims Act, which reopened the statute of limitations for abuse
claims in 2019. The Diocese of Ogdensburg sought Chapter 11
protection in 2023 to address mounting litigation. The settlement
now awaits bankruptcy court confirmation before compensation can be
paid and the diocese exits bankruptcy, the report relays.

DIXIE GROUP: Swings to $1.15M Profit in Q1, Going Concern Persists
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Dixie Group, Inc. has filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, reporting a net
income of $1,151,000 for the three months ended March 28, 2026,
compared to a net loss of $1,697,000 million for the three months
ended March 29, 2025. Revenues for the three months ended March 28,
2026 were $59,380,000, compared to $62,990,000 in the prior-year
period.
Going Concern
The Company's consolidated condensed financial statements have been
prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the
realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the
ordinary course of business. Under U.S. GAAP, management is
required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events,
considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year
after the date that the financial statements are issued. If
substantial doubt is raised, management must also assess whether
its plans to mitigate those conditions or events will alleviate
that substantial doubt.
In performing this assessment, the Company makes significant
judgments about its expected liquidity, including projected cash
flows from operations, capital expenditure requirements,
availability and terms of external financing, compliance with
financial covenants in its debt agreements, and other factors that
could affect its ability to meet obligations as they become due.
These estimates involve assumptions regarding, among other things,
future sales volumes and pricing, gross margin performance, timing
of collections from customers, payment terms with suppliers,
cost‑reduction initiatives, and access to capital markets or
other funding sources.
As of March 28, 2026, the Company has $55,710,000 of outstanding
indebtedness under its senior credit facility that is classified as
a current liability, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of
$2,346,000 and unused availability under its senior credit facility
of $10,343,000, subject to a $6,000,000 minimum excess availability
requirement and continued compliance with applicable financial
covenants. The Company is required to maintain certain financial
ratios and other covenants, which, if not met, could result in an
event of default and an acceleration of its outstanding
indebtedness. The Company's going concern and liquidity assessment
therefore requires significant judgment about its ability to meet
these covenants over the next 12 months, including the
effectiveness and timing of management's plans. The Company
received waivers or amendments for certain financial covenant
violations prior to quarter-end. Compliance with future financial
covenants will be dependent on operating performance.
At the time of issuance of the financial statements, conditions and
events, including recent operating losses, reduced availability
under its credit facility, covenant violations and macroeconomic
pressures, raised substantial doubt about its ability to continue
as a going concern within 12 months after the date the financial
statements are issued. Management has developed plans that are
intended to improve liquidity and address these conditions,
including profit improvement initiatives and seeking additional
debt financing. Management is also evaluating the planned sale of
an existing building, subject to customary closing conditions and
lender payoff requirements, which is expected to generate net cash
proceeds that would improve liquidity; however, because the sale
has not closed, management has not assumed the full benefit in
concluding whether substantial doubt is alleviated. The Company's
evaluation of these plans, and its assumptions regarding their
execution and timing, requires significant judgment and is subject
to inherent uncertainty, therefore management has concluded that
these plans do not alleviate the substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Management Comments
Commenting on the results, Daniel K. Frierson, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer, said, "Continued soft market conditions within
the flooring industry, driven by historical low existing home
sales, high home prices and interest rates, were compounded in the
first quarter of 2026 by the uncertainty caused by the conflict in
the Middle East. Our gross profit margin in the first quarter of
2026 was boosted by the recognition of a $3.3 million receivable
for the anticipated refund of IEEPA tariffs. Adjusted for the
impact of the IEEPA tariffs, year over year margins improved by 2%
of net sales despite lower sales volume in 2026. The improved year
over year gross profit margin is mainly the impact of our
previously announced Profit Improvement Plan. Based on our first
quarter activity, including the recognition of the IEEPA tariff
refund and additional new initiatives, we estimate the impact of
our Plan to be an improvement in year over year profit of $17.8
million.
In the second quarter of 2026 we started seeing higher costs for
our raw materials driven primarily by the higher price of oil. We
have implemented a price increase in the second quarter, as have
many others in the industry, to offset these rising material costs.
Order entry in the second quarter of 2026 has been closely in line
with the order entry for the same period in 2025.
In the first quarter we participated in multiple trade shows,
including the International Surfaces trade show in Las Vegas, where
we showcased thirty-four new broadloom carpet styles across our
nylon, polyester and decorative collections. Our focus continues to
be on the creation of differentiated styles for the mid to high end
consumer with an emphasis on color, pattern and textural visuals.
We also showcased new visuals and innovations in our hard surface
offerings. This included new colors and patterns in our Fabrica
wood program and expanded WPC offerings, with new visuals and
colors, in our TRUCOR brand.", Frierson concluded.

DYADIC INT'L: Liabilities Exceed Assets by $0.4M at March 31
------------------------------------------------------------
Dyadic International Inc.'s stockholder's deficit was US$0.4
million at March 31, 2026. The Company has no stockholder's deficit
at Dec. 31, 2025.
At March 31, 2026, the Company had total assets of US$7.8 million
and total liabilities of US$8.2 million. At Dec. 31, 2025, the
Company had total assets of US$9.9 million and total liabilities of
US$8.7 million.
The Company says it expects to incur losses and has negative net
cash flows from operating activities as it continues developing its
Dapibus(TM) and C1 microbial protein production platforms and
related products, and as it expands its pipelines and engages in
further research and development activities for internal products,
as well as for its third-party collaborators and licensees. The
success of the Company depends on its ability to develop its
technologies and products to the point of regulatory approval,
commercialization, and subsequent revenue generation or through the
sublicensing of the Company's technologies and products, and its
ability to raise capital to finance these developmental efforts.
On March 8, 2024, the Company issued an aggregate principal amount
of $6,000,000 of its 8.0% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory
Notes (the "Convertible Notes") in a private placement. The
purchasers of the Convertible Notes included immediate family
members and family trusts related to Mark Emalfarb, the Company's
President and Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Company's
Board of Directors, including The Francisco Trust, an existing
holder of more than 5% of the Company's outstanding common stock
(collectively, the "Purchasers"). The net proceeds from the sale of
Convertible Notes, after deducting offering expenses, were
$5,824,326. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the
offering of the Convertible Notes for working capital and general
corporate purposes.
The Convertible Notes are senior, secured obligations of Dyadic and
its affiliates, and interest is payable quarterly in cash on the
principal amount equal to 8% per annum. The Convertible Notes, as
amended, will mature on Dec. 31, 2027 (the "Maturity Date"), unless
earlier converted, repurchased, or redeemed in accordance with the
terms of the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes can be
converted into shares of common stock, at the option of the holders
of the Convertible Notes (the "Noteholders") at any time prior to
the Maturity Date.
During the year ended Dec. 31, 2024, $910,000 of Convertible Notes
were converted into 556,623 shares of common stock. On May 1, 2025,
the Company amended the Convertible Notes to extend the Redemption
Date to Dec. 1, 2026.
On Sept. 15, 2025, the Company amended the security agreement to
reflect updates to the Secured Parties thereunder, including the
addition of a trust for the benefit of the Company's Chief
Executive Officer, Mark Emalfarb, as a result of his purchase and
assignment to him of one of the Notes from an existing note holder
in a principal amount of $1,000,000.
On Dec. 23, 2025, the Company entered into an additional amendment
to the Convertible Notes, pursuant to which (i) the Maturity Date
was extended from March 8, 2027, to Dec. 31, 2027, (ii) the
conversion price at which the Convertible Notes are convertible
into shares of the Company's common stock was set at $1.05 per
share of common stock, and (iii) except in the case of an Event of
Default, the holders no longer have the right to elect to have the
Company redeem all, or any part, of the principal amount then
remaining under the Convertible Notes.
The Convertible Notes contain customary covenants, and the
Securities Purchase Agreement relating to the Convertible Notes
also contains certain affirmative and negative covenants
(including, without limitation, restrictions on the Company's
ability to incur indebtedness, permit liens, make dividends or
certain debt payments or consummate certain affiliate
transactions). The Company was in compliance with its covenants
with respect to the Convertible Notes as of March 31, 2026.
On March 6, 2026, the Company entered into an At-The-Market
Issuance Sales Agreement (the "Sales Agreement") with Craig-Hallum
as sales agent (the "Sales Agent"), pursuant to which the Company
may offer and sell from time to time, at its option, shares of the
Company's common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to
$4,238,000 from time to time through the Sales Agent, including
block trades and sales made in ordinary brokers' transactions
directly on Nasdaq or any other trading market for the Company's
common stock at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at
prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices
(the "At-The-Market Equity Offering Program").
The Company expects its existing cash, cash equivalents, restricted
cash and its investment securities, including accrued interest,
totaling approximately $6.6 million as of March 31, 2026, will be
sufficient to meet its operational, business, and other liquidity
requirements for at least the next twelve (12) months from the date
of issuance of the financial statements contained in this Quarterly
Report. However, the Company has based this estimate on assumptions
that may prove to be wrong, and its operating plan may change as a
result of many factors currently unknown to it.
In the event the Company's financing needs are not able to be met
by its existing cash, cash equivalents and investments, the Company
says it would seek to raise additional capital through strategic
financial opportunities that could include, but are not limited to,
future public or private equity offerings, collaboration
agreements, convertible notes or other debt instruments, and/or
other means. Any amount raised may be used for the further
development and commercialization of product candidates, for other
working capital purposes or to facilitate the Company's continued
listing on Nasdaq. The Company's says there is no guarantee that
any of these strategic or financing opportunities will be executed
or realized on favorable terms, if at all, and some could be
dilutive to existing shareholders.

ENERGY FOCUS: Going Concern Persists Despite Q1 2026 Loss Reduction
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Energy Focus, Inc. has filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, reporting a net loss
of $140 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026,
compared to a net loss of $268 thousand for the same period in the
prior year. Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2026
were $949 thousand, compared to $616 thousand in the prior-year
period.
Going Concern and Nasdaq Continued Listing Requirements Compliance
Due to the Company's financial performance as of March 31, 2026 and
December 31, 2025, including net losses of $0.1 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2026 and $1.0 million for the 12
months ended December 31, 2025, and cash provided by operating
activities of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31,
2026 and cash used in operating activities of $1.4 million for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the Company determined that
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern
continues to exist at March 31, 2026. As a result of restructuring
actions and initiatives, the Company has tailored its operating
expenses to be more in line with its expected sales volumes;
however, the Company continues to incur losses and has a
substantial accumulated deficit.
In addition, on April 3, 2026, the Company entered into agreements
related to a joint venture investment in Japan under which its
total expected investment commitment for a 35% ownership interest
is approximately $1.1 million. As of May 12, 2026, the Company has
invested approximately $535 thousand toward this commitment, with
the remaining balance of approximately $565 thousand expected to be
funded during project development. This expected funding
requirement may further heighten the Company's near-term liquidity
needs and reinforces the importance of obtaining additional capital
and executing its operating plans.
Additionally, global supply chain and logistics constraints and the
ongoing evolution of international trade policies are impacting the
Company's inventory purchasing strategy, as the Company seeks to
manage both shortages of available components and longer lead times
in obtaining components while pursuing cost-effectiveness measures
to enhance profitability. As a result, the Company will continue to
review and pursue selected external funding sources to ensure
adequate financial resources to execute across the timelines
required to achieve these objectives including, but not limited to,
the following:
* obtaining financing from traditional or non-traditional
investment capital organizations or individuals;
* obtaining funding from the sale of its common stock or other
equity or debt instruments; and
*obtaining debt financing with lending terms that more closely
match its business model and capital needs.
There can be no assurance that the Company will obtain funding on
acceptable terms, in a timely fashion, or at all. Obtaining
additional funding contains risks, including: additional equity
financing may not be available to the Company on satisfactory
terms, particularly in light of the current price of its common
stock, and any equity it is able to issue could lead to dilution
for current stockholders and have rights, preferences and
privileges senior to its common stock; loans or other debt
instruments may have terms or conditions, such as interest rate,
restrictive covenants, conversion features, refinancing demands,
and control or revocation provisions, which are not acceptable to
management or the Company's Board of Directors; and the current
environment in capital markets and volatile interest rates,
combined with the Company's capital constraints, may prevent it
from being able to obtain adequate debt financing.
Considering both quantitative and qualitative information, the
Company continues to pursue plans to ensure adequate external
funding, timely re-organizational actions, management of its
current financial position and liquid resources, obligations due or
anticipated within the next year, development and implementation of
an excess inventory reduction plan, plans and initiatives in its
research and development, product development and sales and
marketing, and development of potential channel partnerships.
However, because these plans depend on future events and
circumstances that are not entirely within the Company's control,
they cannot be considered probable of effectively mitigating the
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.

FIREFLY NEUROSCIENCE: Inks $1M Private Placement With Unit Offering
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Firefly Neuroscience, Inc. announced in a regulatory filing that it
entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an accredited
investor pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to
the Investor up to 666,667 units, at a purchase price of $1.50 per
Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $1,000,000. Each Unit
consists of:
(i) one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share;
(ii) one common stock purchase warrant to purchase one share of
Common Stock over five years at an exercise price of $1.88 per
share; and
(iii) one common stock purchase warrant to purchase one share of
Common Stock over five (5) years at an exercise price of $2.50 per
share. Shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants are collectively referred to as the "Warrant Shares." The
Warrants include a beneficial ownership limitation, which provides
that the Company shall not effect any exercise, and a holder shall
not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrants, to the
extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, the holder
(together with the holder's affiliates) would beneficially own more
than 4.99% or 9.99%, as applicable to such Investor, of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately after the issuance
of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise. The Warrants are
not exercisable until the Company has obtained approval from its
stockholders for the issuance of the Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants.
The Company is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain Shareholder Approval within ninety (90) days following the
date of the Purchase Agreement. In connection therewith, the
Company will prepare and file a proxy statement or information
statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and hold a
meeting of stockholders for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder
Approval. The Company's board of directors will recommend that
stockholders vote in favor of the proposal. If Shareholder Approval
is not obtained at the initial stockholder meeting, the Company is
required to continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain Shareholder Approval, including by holding additional
stockholder meetings as necessary.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to file
a registration statement with the SEC on Form S-1 (or, if Form S-1
is not then available to the Company, on such other form as is then
available) covering the resale of the Shares and the Warrant Shares
issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, as soon as practicable.
The Company will use its best efforts to cause the Registration
Statement to become effective:
(i) within 45 calendar days after filing if the SEC does not
review the Registration Statement, or
(ii) within 90 calendar days after filing if the SEC reviews
the Registration Statement. The effectiveness of the Registration
Statement is a condition to the closing of the offering under the
Purchase Agreement.
The Closing is subject to certain conditions, including, among
others the Registration Statement being effective and Shareholder
Approval having been obtained. The Closing will take place remotely
via the exchange of documents and signatures within five days from
the date of obtaining Shareholder Approval.
The Purchase Agreement may be terminated by the Investor upon
written notice to the Company if Shareholder Approval has not been
obtained within 90 days following the date of the Purchase
Agreement. In addition, the Investor may terminate the Purchase
Agreement solely with respect to the Investor upon written notice
to the Company if the closing price of the Common Stock on the
Nasdaq Capital Market on the day Shareholder Approval is obtained
is lower than $1.50 per share; provided, that the Investor must
deliver such written notice of termination to the Company no later
than two trading days following the later of:
(i) receipt of notification that Shareholder Approval has been
obtained and
(ii) the Registration Statement having become (and remaining)
effective, and the failure of the Investor to deliver such notice
within such period shall constitute a waiver of such termination
right.
The offer and sale of securities described above pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement is being conducted as a private placement
pursuant to and in reliance on the exemption from registration
provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder for
transactions not involving a public offering.

FIRST BRANDS: Revises Plan Disclosures to Address Objections
------------------------------------------------------------
Vince Sullivan of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that First
Brands Group will ask bankruptcy court to grant conditional
approval of its amended disclosure statement after submitting major
revisions ahead of a scheduled hearing. The filing was updated
shortly before Wednesday's, May 20, 2026, proceedings.
Court documents indicate the revisions were intended to address
prior objections and enhance the adequacy of disclosures provided
to creditors in connection with the company's Chapter 11 plan. The
debtor is seeking authorization to move forward with solicitation.
The judge will evaluate whether the revised disclosure statement
meets legal standards for conditional approval, a necessary step
before creditors can vote on the restructuring plan, the report
cites.

FREE SPEECH: Jones's Appeal in Bankruptcy Estate Dispute Nixed
--------------------------------------------------------------
Senior Judge Lee H. Rosenthal of the U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of Texas dismissed the appeal styled ALEXANDER E.
JONES, Appellants, v. NEIL HESLIN, et al., Appellees, Case No.
25-cv-05553 (S.D. Tex.).
This appeal requires the court to decide whether Alexander E.
Jones's bankruptcy estate includes the assets of Free Speech
Systems, LLC, the entity that operates the Infowars media
platform. Jones and Free Speech Systems separately filed for
bankruptcy because the appellees had secured substantial money
judgments based on Jones's and Free Speech Systems' statements
denying the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting that killed 20
young children and 6 adults. To effectuate the judgments, a trial
court in Travis County, Texas, placed Free Speech Systems' assets
into receivership. Jones argues that the Texas receivership should
not include Free Speech Systems' assets and that the Bankruptcy
Court must exercise its exclusive jurisdiction over them.
The appellees raise two jurisdictional issues:
(1) the timeliness of Jones's appeal; and
(2) Jones's standing to appeal.
The court finds Jones cannot establish standing specifically,
because he has no property rights to Free Speech Systems' assets.
Under Texas law, a member of a limited liability company or an
assignee of a membership interest in a limited liability company
does not have an interest in any specific property of the company.
As a result, Free Speech Systems' assets are not Jones's and not
part of his bankruptcy estate.
According to the court, Jones lost control of Free Speech Systems'
assets when he voluntarily turned his equity in the LLC over to his
creditors by filing for bankruptcy. Jones has no direct stake in
this appeal.
The court concludes that Jones and Free Speech Systems lack
standing to appeal the October 2025 order that the automatic stay
imposed under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code in the Jones
bankruptcy case does not apply to Free Speech Systems or any of its
assets. The court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal. The court
cannot review the order or alter the Bankruptcy Court's holding
that Jones's bankruptcy case does not bar judgment enforcement
against Free Speech Systems' assets. The appeal is dismissed.

FULLER'S SERVICE: Trustee Gets Extension to Access Cash Collateral
------------------------------------------------------------------
N. Neville Reid, the Chapter 11 trustee for Fuller's Service Center
Inc., received another extension from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Northern District of Illinois to use cash collateral to fund
operations.
The court authorized the trustee to use the cash collateral of
secured creditors from May 18 to August 2 to pay the Debtor's
expenses set forth in its budget, subject to a 10% variance. It
also authorized the trustee to utilize the Debtor's line of credit
facility with Cornerstone National Bank & Trust Company.
Additionally, the trustee may continue paying 80% of accrued
professional fees each month, even if those payments exceed the
budget cap.
The secured creditors that assert an interest in the cash
collateral are Cornerstone National Bank & Trust Company, the U.S.
Small Business Administration, the SBA's assignee Seaver Business
Acquisition, LLC, and Carroll's, LLC (doing business as National
Tire Wholesale).
As protection, the secured creditors will be granted security
interests in the Debtor's post-petition assets and the proceeds
thereof, with the same priority and extent as their pre-bankruptcy
liens.
In addition, Cornerstone will be granted a "superpriority" claim,
with priority over all other liens and claims for unpaid
post-petition funds advanced. It will receive repayment first
before other creditors, including administrative claimants.
The order is available at https://shorturl.at/EOxVd from
PacerMonitor.com.
A status hearing on continued cash collateral use is scheduled for
July 24.
Before bankruptcy, Fuller's Service Center granted liens to several
secured creditors, including Heartland Bank and Trust Company,
which had provided a line of credit, the SBA whose interest was
later assigned to Seaver, and Carroll's LLC, doing business as
National Tire Wholesale.
Earlier court orders had already permitted the trustee to use cash
collateral and the Heartland credit line temporarily while the
business continued operating. The trustee's prior financial
projections accurately anticipated that the Heartland line of
credit would be exhausted by mid-February 2026. Subsequently, the
trustee secured a new $250,000 line of credit from Cornerstone
National Bank & Trust Company, approved by the court on March 4 to
fund working capital and estate administration expenses. However,
the agreement specifically excludes using those funds for
litigation against company insiders or principals because an
affiliated entity owning the business property serves as collateral
for the credit line.
The trustee said the funds are necessary to maintain ordinary
business operations, including payroll, rent, utilities, insurance,
vendor payments, and professional fees associated with
administering the bankruptcy estate. Continued operations will
preserve the Debtor's going-concern value and allow time to
determine the best outcome for creditors, whether through
reorganization, sale of assets, or another transaction, according
to the trustee.

GALAXY GAMING: Liabilities Exceed Assets by $16.2M at March 31
--------------------------------------------------------------
Galaxy Gaming, Inc.'s stockholder's deficit was US$16.2 million at
March 31, 2026. The stockholder's deficit was US$17.5 million at
Dec. 31, 2025.
At March 31, 2026, the Company had total assets of US$27.0 million
and total liabilities of US$43.2 million. At Dec. 31, 2025, the
Company had total assets of US$27.5 million and total liabilities
of US$45.0 million.
Galaxy Gaming, Inc., depicts a business that is currently funding
itself predominantly through operating cash flow, while carrying a
sizable secured term loan that was refinanced in early 2025. The
Company said: "On January 6, 2025, we entered into a new credit
agreement with BMO that provides for a $2,000,000 senior secured
revolving credit facility and a $45,000,000 senior secured term
loan," and confirmed that the term loan and revolver now mature on
January 6, 2028. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had no
borrowings on the revolver, but the $45 million term loan remains a
central long-term obligation, subject to covenants and
amortization.
From a liquidity standpoint, Galaxy reported total current assets
of $10,949,227 as of March 31, 2026 versus current liabilities of
$7,320,803, indicating a positive working capital position.
Operating activities generated $2,544,086 of cash in the first
quarter of 2026, a significant increase over the prior-year period,
which management attributes mainly to the swing from a net loss to
net income and better working capital management. The Company
stated: "Based on our current forecast of operations, we believe we
will have sufficient liquidity to fund our operations and to meet
the obligations under our financing arrangements as they come due
over at least the next 12 months."
Despite positive operating cash flow, the Company is deploying
material cash into growth and development, which tightens its cash
runway if operating results deteriorate. Investing activities used
$1,030,320 in cash for the quarter, driven by "higher expenditures
for assemblies in process and increased investment in internally
developed software." Management also cautions that continuing to
apply for new or enhanced gaming licenses "may result in
significant future legal and regulatory expenses" and notes that a
significant increase in such costs could force a postponement of
growth initiatives or R&D investments.
The refinancing from Fortress to BMO eliminated the prior facility
but came with a meaningful cost and leaves the Company dependent on
servicing a large, secured term loan through 2028. The Company
acknowledged a prior-period "loss on extinguishment of debt of
$2,969,585...related to the refinancing of our debt from Fortress
to BMO," underscoring that debt restructuring has already consumed
equity value and cash flexibility. Management further notes that
while ongoing operations have historically funded obligations, "We
may require additional capital to undertake acquisitions or to
repay in full our indebtedness," and access to that capital will
depend on market conditions and investor perceptions.
The pending all-cash merger with Evolution Malta Holding Limited is
an important contingent liquidity event, but it remains uncertain
and subject to regulatory approvals. The Company explains that the
outside date for completion has been repeatedly extended, most
recently to July 17, 2026, and concedes that "no assurance can be
given that the required regulatory approvals will be obtained and,
even if all such approvals are obtained, no assurance can be given
to the timing." If the merger does not close, Galaxy will remain a
highly leveraged standalone entity whose ability to service the BMO
term loan, absorb rising regulatory and licensing costs, and
continue discretionary investments will be tested by any downturn
in operating cash flow or restricted access to external capital.

GENESIS HEALTHCARE: Plan Exclusivity Period Extended to June 1
--------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Stacey G. Jernigan of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of Texas extended Genesis Healthcare, Inc., and
its affiliates' exclusive periods to file a plan of reorganization
and obtain acceptance thereof to June 1 and July 1, 2026,
respectively.
As shared by Troubled Company Reporter, the Debtors explain that as
set forth in the First Exclusivity Extension Motion and Second
Exclusivity Extension Motion, the Chapter 11 Cases, comprising 299
Debtors, are sufficiently large and complex to warrant the
requested extension of the Exclusive Periods. Thus, the Debtors
submit that the size and complexity of the Chapter 11 Cases weigh
in favor of granting the requested extension of the Exclusive
Periods.
The Debtors claim that the companies and their professionals have
focused much of their time, energy, and resources on administering
the Chapter 11 Cases in the ordinary course of business, obtaining
Court approval of additional necessary DIP financing, negotiating
with vendors and other creditors, including the Committee, WSSH,
and NewGen, participating in mediation discussions with their
lenders and the Committee, and participating in plan negotiations
with the Committee. While the Debtors have not yet filed a plan and
disclosure statement, the Debtors intend to file their proposed
chapter 11 plan and disclosure statement in the near term.
The Debtors state that they have made and will continue to make
timely payments on their undisputed post-petition obligations in
the ordinary course, meaning that the requested extension of the
Exclusive Periods will not prejudice the legitimate interests of
post-petition creditors. As such, this factor also weighs in favor
of extending the Exclusive Periods.
The Debtors assert that they have no ulterior motive in seeking an
extension of the Exclusive Periods, nor are they seeking an
extension of the Exclusive Periods to pressure or prejudice any of
their stakeholders. To the contrary, the Debtors are requesting a
further extension of the Exclusive Periods to allow for additional
time to ideally resolve any plan-related disputes with the
Committee and other parties-in-interest prior to filing their
proposed chapter 11 plan and disclosure statement, free from
distraction or competing plan proposals.

GREENE AVENUE: Unsecureds to Recover 39% in Lender's Plan
---------------------------------------------------------
Toorak Capital Partners LLC ("Lender" or the "Plan Proponent")
submitted a Disclosure Statement describing Plan of Reorganization
for Greene Avenue Freedom LLC dated May 11, 2026.
The Debtor is the owner of real property located at 1172 Greene
Avenue, Brooklyn, New York 11221 (the "Property"). The Property is
the Debtor's sole significant asset.
The Property is a residential, 1-4 family house, in the Bushwick
neighborhood of Brooklyn. The building is currently subject to a
month-to-month tenancy. Sharon M. Brown is the sole member of the
Debtor.
Toorak, as assignee, is the holder of an Amended Restated and
Consolidated Promissory Note dated March 1, 2022, in the principal
amount of $670,000.00 (the "Note"), secured by that certain
Agreement of Consolidation and Modification of Mortgage, Security
Agreement, Assignment of Rents, and Fixture Filing (the "Mortgage,"
and together with the Note and all related documents, the "Loan
Documents") encumbering the Property.
The Debtor defaulted under the Loan Documents. As a result, Toorak
commenced a foreclosure action in the Supreme Court of the State of
New York, County of Kings (the "State Court"). On May 28, 2025, the
State Court entered a Judgment of Foreclosure and Sale (the
"Foreclosure Judgment"), awarding Toorak a judgment of foreclosure
and sale in the sum of $923,917.15, together with interest, costs
and attorney's fees and permitting the Property to be sold at
public auction under the direction of the State Court referee.
Toorak scheduled a sale of the Property for July 24, 2025. On the
Petition Date, one day prior to the scheduled foreclosure sale, the
Debtor filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of
the Bankruptcy Code, commencing the chapter 11 case.
Toorak's Plan provides for an auction sale of the Property in
accordance with the bidding procedures in Exhibit A to the Plan. In
furtherance of the sale of the Property, Toorak may retain a real
estate broker upon the following terms: the broker will be entitled
to a broker commission of 5% paid by the successful bidder as a
buyer's premium, provided that the broker's commission is 2% if
Toorak is the successful bidder by credit bid. Broker's retention
will be a post-confirmation retention by a non-debtor party, and
the broker's commission will be paid by the buyer, not the Debtor.
The Plan Proponent believes that confirmation of the Plan provides
the best opportunity for maximizing recoveries for the Debtor's
creditors. The Plan provides that creditors will be paid from Cash
turned over by the Debtor to the Disbursing Agent and Sale
Proceeds, and, if necessary, the GUC Contribution and other Cash
contributed by Toorak, in the priority established under the
Bankruptcy Code. Under the Plan, counsel for the Plan Proponent, as
disbursing agent, will make distributions to creditors.
Class 4 consists of General Unsecured Claims. In full satisfaction
of Class 4 General Unsecured Claims, the holder of such Claims
shall receive the following treatment: on the Effective Date, each
holder of a Class 4 General Unsecured Claim shall receive from the
Disbursing Agent, unless otherwise agreed in writing between the
Plan Proponent and the holder of such Claim, its Pro Rata payment
of the remaining Cash from the Sale Proceeds after payment of
Allowed Administrative Expenses, Allowed Professional Fee Claims,
Allowed Post-Petition Tax Claims, Class 1 Claims, Class 2 Claims,
and Class 3 Claims; provided, however, if the amount of such
remaining Cash from the Sale Proceeds available to pay Allowed
Class 4 Claims is less than $5,000.00, Secured Creditor will fund
the GUC Contribution from the Plan Proponent Contribution to ensure
the Pro Rata distribution to Class 4 General Unsecured Claims.
The holders of the Claims in Class 4 are impaired and are entitled
to vote to accept or reject the Plan. The allowed unsecured claims
total $12,771.43. This Class will receive a distribution of 39% of
their allowed claims.
Class 5 consists of Equity Interests. On the Effective Date, all
Interests of Equity Holders shall be cancelled and extinguished.
The Debtor, through its managing member, shall remain responsible
for winding up its affairs in accordance with applicable New York
law, without interfering with the Disbursing Agent's performance
under the Plan. Class 5 Equity Interests are not receiving any
distribution under the Plan, and thus Interest Holders are deemed
to reject the Plan and are not entitled to vote to accept or reject
the Plan.
Payments under the Plan will be paid from either the Sale Proceeds,
Cash turned over by the Debtor to the Disbursing Agent pursuant to
Section 6.1 of the Plan, and/or the Plan Proponent Contribution.
Prior to or on the Effective Date, the Property shall be sold to
the Purchaser, pursuant to sections 363(f), 1123(a)(5)(D), and
1141(c) of the Bankruptcy Code free and clear of all Liens (except
permitted encumbrances as determined by the Purchaser), with any
such Liens, Claims and encumbrances to attach to the Sale Proceeds
and disbursed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

HAIN CELESTIAL: Q3 2026 Net Loss Narrows to $106.3M; Doubt Persists
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The Hain Celestial Group, Inc. has filed its Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission,
reporting a net loss of $106.3 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2026, compared to a net loss of $134.6 million for the
same period in the prior year. For the nine-month period ended
March 31, 2026, the Company reported a net loss of $243 million,
compared to a net loss of $258.2 million in the corresponding
prior-year period.
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $338.4
million, compared to $390.4 million in the prior-year period.
Revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2026 was $1.1 billion,
compared to $1.2 billion in the same period of the prior year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company finances its operations and growth primarily with the
cash flows it generates from its operations and from borrowings
available under its Credit Agreement. The Company believes that its
cash flows from operations and borrowing capacity under its Credit
Agreement will be adequate to meet anticipated operating and other
expenditures.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had approximately $549.8 million
of debt obligations maturing on December 22, 2026, consisting of
$401 million of loans outstanding under the Revolver and $148.8
million of Term Loans. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash
of $44.3 million and available liquidity of $195.9 million, subject
to compliance with financial covenants, and the Company was in
compliance with all associated covenants under its Credit
Agreement. On January 2, 2026, the Company received $25.9 million
of proceeds from an insurance claim, which it used to repay loans
outstanding under the Revolver, reducing the Company's outstanding
debt obligations.
The Company announced that its Board of Directors commenced a
strategic review of the Company's business and capital structure,
in part to evaluate options to improve liquidity and reduce
leverage. As part of this review, on February 27, 2026, the Company
completed the sale of its North American Snacks Business and
received $111.2 million in cash. The net proceeds of $101.1 million
were used to repay a portion of the Term Loans.
The Company and the Board of Directors remain focused on executing
the next phases of the strategic review and taking decisive actions
to strengthen the Company's financial flexibility, improve
performance and address the upcoming debt maturity under the Credit
Agreement. These actions include the pursuit of further asset sales
to refine the Company's operating model with a focus on categories
and platforms in key markets. In addition, the Company is executing
targeted inventory and other working capital optimization
initiatives designed to improve the Company's cash conversion and
enhance liquidity. The Company also continues to actively engage
with its lenders while it evaluates potential strategic
transactions.
The Company believes that the successful execution of these plans
will enable it to refinance and/or retire the existing debt prior
to its maturity or extend the maturity date under the Credit
Agreement. However, Accounting Standards Codification 205-40,
"Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern" requires
that management not conclude that such an outcome is "probable" if,
among other factors, the outcome is not within the control of the
Company. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern for at least one
year following the date of issuance of these financial statements
due to the uncertainty regarding the Company's ability to refinance
or repay its debt due on December 22, 2026 because no such
refinancing, retirement or extension has occurred prior to the
issuance of the financial statements. The Company's ability to
continue as a going concern remains subject to successful execution
of its strategic plan and securing additional financing, if needed.
If the Company is unable to execute its plans to generate
sufficient liquidity, it may not have adequate resources to repay
or refinance its debt, which would have a material adverse effect
on its financial position and results of operations.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern, and no
adjustments have been made to the financial statements to reflect
the possibility of the Company's inability to meet its debt
obligations or continue as a going concern.
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
On December 22, 2021, the Company entered into a Fourth Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement originally provided
for senior secured financing of $1,100 million in the aggregate,
consisting of:
(1) $300 million in aggregate principal amount of term loans
and
(2) an $800 million senior secured revolving credit facility
(which includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit,
and was originally comprised of a $440 million U.S. revolving
credit facility and $360 million global revolving credit facility).
Both the Revolver and the Term Loans mature on December 22, 2026.
The Company's obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed
by certain existing and future domestic subsidiaries of the Company
and are secured by liens on assets of the Company and its material
domestic subsidiaries, including the equity interest in each of
their direct subsidiaries and intellectual property, subject to
agreed-upon exceptions.
The Credit Agreement includes financial covenants that require
compliance with a consolidated secured leverage ratio, a
consolidated leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage
ratio. On August 22, 2023, the Company entered into a Second
Amendment to the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Second
Amendment, the Company's maximum consolidated secured leverage
ratio was amended to be 5.00:1.00 until September 30, 2023,
5.25:1.00 until December 31, 2023, 5.00:1.00 until December 31,
2024, and 4.25:1.00 thereafter. Following the Fourth Amendment, the
Company's maximum consolidated secured leverage ratio under the
Credit Agreement was 5.00:1.00 until June 30, 2025 and is 5.50:1.00
for the quarter ending September 30, 2025 and thereafter. Pursuant
to the Credit Agreement, the Company's maximum consolidated
leverage ratio is 6.00:1.00 and, through June 30, 2025, its minimum
interest coverage ratio was 2.50:1.00.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company's consolidated secured leverage
ratio, consolidated leverage ratio and consolidated interest
coverage ratio were 4.31:1.00, 4.31:1.00 and 2.30:1.00,
respectively, and the Company was in compliance with all associated
covenants. The aforementioned financial covenants are being
reported as calculated under the Credit Agreement and not pursuant
to generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S.
From the date of the Second Amendment until the date of the Third
Amendment, loans under the Credit Agreement bore interest at:
(a) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus a credit spread
adjustment of 0.10% plus 2.5% per annum or
(b) the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus
1.5% per annum.
On May 5, 2025, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to the
Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Third Amendment, the Company's
maximum consolidated secured leverage ratio was amended to be
4.75:1.00 for the quarter ending June 30, 2025 through (and
including) the quarter ending March 31, 2026, 4.50:1.00 for the
quarter ending June 30, 2026, and 4.25:1.00 for the quarter ending
September 30, 2026 and thereafter.
Commencing on the date of the Third Amendment, loans under the
Credit Agreement bore interest at:
(a) Term SOFR plus 3.00% per annum or
(b) the Base Rate plus 2.00% per annum.
The Third Amendment also reduced the size of the Revolver from $800
million to $700 million in the aggregate, with the U.S. revolving
credit facility reduced from $440 million to $385 million and the
global revolving credit facility reduced from $360 million to $315
million.
On September 11, 2025, the Company entered into a Fourth Amendment
to the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment:
(x) the Company's maximum consolidated secured leverage ratio
was amended to be 5.00:1.00 for the quarter ending June 30, 2025
and 5.50:1.00 for the quarter ending September 30, 2025 and
thereafter,
(y) the Company's minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio
was amended to be 2.00:1.00 for the quarter ending September 30,
2025 and thereafter and
(z) a covenant was added requiring the Company to maintain a
minimum Consolidated EBITDA (as such term is defined in the Credit
Agreement as amended by the Fourth Amendment) of:
(i) $17 million for the quarter ending September 30, 2025 and
(ii) $52 million for the cumulative two quarters ending
September 30, 2025 and on December 31, 2025. The aforementioned
financial covenants use financial measures that are defined under
the Credit Agreement and not pursuant to GAAP.
Commencing on the date of the Fourth Amendment, loans under the
Credit Agreement bear interest at:
(a) Term SOFR plus 4.00% per annum or
(b) the Base Rate plus 3.00% per annum.
The Fourth Amendment also reduced the size of the Revolver from
$700 million to $600 million in the aggregate, with the U.S.
revolving credit facility reduced from $385 million to $330 million
and the global revolving credit facility reduced from $315 million
to $270 million.
Excluding the impact of hedges, the weighted average interest rate
on outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement at March 31,
2026 was 7.74%. The Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge a
portion of the interest rate risk related to its outstanding
variable rate debt. As of March 31, 2025, the notional amount of
the interest rate swaps was $400,000 with fixed rate payments of
7.12%. Including the impact of hedges, the weighted average
interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement
at March 31, 2026 was 7.41%. Additionally, the Credit Agreement
contains a commitment fee of 0.25% per annum on the amount unused
under the Credit Agreement.
Management Comments
"Third quarter results reflect improving execution and financial
discipline as we continued to strengthen our foundation and advance
our turnaround strategy. Strong cash generation and debt reduction
materially improved our financial position, while the completion of
the North American snacks divestiture further enhances our margin
and cash flow profile going forward. In North America, our core
business remains resilient, and we are making progress in
addressing stranded costs. Our near-term priorities remain the
same: optimize cash, strengthen the balance sheet, improve
profitability, and stabilize sales, while our five actions to win
position Hain for sustainable, profitable growth," stated Alison
Lewis, President and CEO.

HANSEN-MUELLER CO: Court OKs $1MM Payout for Farmers in Ch. 11 Case
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Kellan Heavican of Brownfield reports that Hansen Mueller Coop.
will pay approximately $1 million to farmers after Nebraska
regulators approved restitution claims stemming from unpaid grain
contracts. The payments follow the company’s Chapter 11
bankruptcy proceedings earlier this year.
The grain company lost its status as a licensed grain dealer after
failing to pay producers for grain deliveries. The Nebraska Public
Service Commission reviewed and approved verified claims submitted
by 12 affected farmers, the report states.
PSC Vice Chair Kevin Stocker said the outcome underscores the
effectiveness of industry regulations designed to protect
agricultural producers. The restitution proceeds will be
distributed on a prorated basis of about 90 cents per dollar
claimed.
About Hansen-Mueller Co.
Hansen-Mueller Co. is a nationwide agribusiness company
headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, engaged in grain merchandising
and processing with a diversified platform spanning the central
United States, including nine grain elevators, four port terminals,

in Toledo, Ohio. The Company operates four complementary business
units -- Oat Trading, Wheat Merchandising, Cross-Country Trading,

people across its operations in the U.S. and conducts business in
44 states and 24 countries, focusing on niche crops, international

Hansen-Mueller Co. sought relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. D. Neb. Case No. 25-81226) on November 17,
2025. In its petition, the Debtor reported between $100 million and
$500 million in assets and liabilities.
Honorable Bankruptcy Judge Thomas L. Saladino handles the case.
The Debtor tapped Brian J. Koenig, Esq., Donald L. Swanson, Esq.,
and Trevor J. Lee, Esq., at Koley Jessen PC, LLO as bankruptcy
counsel; Silverman Consulting as restructuring advisor; Michael G.
Compton as chief restructuring officer and financial advisor; and
Ascendant Consulting Partners, LLC as investment banker. The

HAYDEE'S CAFE: Seeks to Use Cash Collateral
-------------------------------------------
Haydee's Cafe, LLC asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern
District of Georgia, Gainesville Division, to use cash collateral
and provide adequate protection.
The Debtor seeks immediate access to cash collateral to continue
operations, preserve jobs, and prevent irreparable harm, warning
that without funding it would have to shut down and lose value and
employment.
The Debtor identifies two creditors with potential claims against
its assets: Financial Pacific Leasing, Inc. and WebBank.
Financial Pacific filed a UCC financing statement in November 2024,
asserting a security interest in all equipment and personal
property of the Debtor. The Debtor questions whether that lien
extends to cash collateral.
Meanwhile, WebBank filed multiple UCC financing statements
asserting a security interest in accounts receivable and payment
rights arising from sales of goods and services. However, the
Debtor argues that because it operates as a retail restaurant where
customers pay immediately at the point of sale, it does not
actually maintain accounts receivable, casting doubt on whether
WebBank's lien reaches the restaurant's operating cash.
The Debtor reserves all rights to challenge the validity, priority,
and enforceability of any asserted liens or secured claims,
including potential avoidance actions under bankruptcy law.
To provide adequate protection for any creditor ultimately
determined to have a valid interest in cash collateral, the Debtor
proposes granting replacement liens on post-petition collateral of
the same type, extent, and priority as any pre-petition liens,
excluding proceeds from avoidance actions under Chapter 5 of the
Bankruptcy Code.
Haydee's Cafe encountered financial difficulties after Sepulveda
opened a second restaurant location, Haydee's Cafe & Cantina, in
2023 using SBA-backed financing. Although the second location
ultimately failed and closed, the Debtor remained liable as a
guarantor on the loan, leaving it responsible for significant debt
despite not directly receiving the loan proceeds.

2026. In the petition signed by Luis Sepulveda, president, the
Debtor disclosed up to $50,000 in assets and up to $1 million in
liabilities.

HEALING WITH CAARE: Seeks to Use Cash Collateral
------------------------------------------------
Healing with Caare, Inc. asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Middle District of North Carolina for authority to use cash
collateral and provide adequate protection.
The Debtor needs to use cash collateral for operating expenses
including payroll, insurance, maintenance, taxes, supplies, and
other day-to-day business costs necessary to preserve the business
and maintain services.
The Debtor's principal assets consist primarily of accounts
receivable generated from its services and certain real estate
holdings. It estimates the value of its secured assets at around
$600,000, indicating that there is likely sufficient equity in the
collateral to protect lenders' interests.
Secured lenders Wells Fargo Bank and Institute Capital hold
security interests in the Debtor's assets while the Internal
Revenue Service may also hold liens on all assets because of unpaid
tax obligations. At the time of the Debtor's Chapter 11 filing, the
combined debt owed to Wells Fargo and Institute Capital was
estimated at approximately $465,000, excluding additional
attorneys' fees, costs, and related charges.
A court hearing is set for May 27.

HERITAGE HOTELS: RMC Entitled to $131K Judgment
-----------------------------------------------
Judge Marvin Isgur of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of Texas held that Restoration Management Company ("RMC")
is entitled to $131,967.28 judgment in the adversary proceeding
captioned as HERITAGE HOTELS ROCKPORT LLC, Plaintiff, VS. JON K
TAKATA, Defendant, ADVERSARY NO. 24-2007 (Bankr. S.D. Tex.).
RMC is the prevailing party in the dispute governed by the the
Emergency Services Agreement. RMC is awarded $804,888.54 in actual
damages (including interest and other charges) and $199,338.73 in
attorney's fees and expenses, for total
recovery of $1,004,227.27.
Heritage was the prevailing party in the reconstruction dispute
governed by the Time and Materials Agreement. Heritage is awarded
$207,193.88 in actual damages (including prejudgment interest), and
$665,066.11 in attorney's fees and costs for total recovery of
$872,259.99.
According to the Court, RMC may recover reasonable attorney's fees
incurred in connection with the ESA dispute, but cannot recover
fees incurred in connection with the reconstruction dispute
governed by the Time & Materials Agreement.
The sole issue in the ESA dispute was whether RMC properly billed
third party labor. RMC prevailed on that issue. Heritage Hotels LLC
did not allege that RMC's performance was untimely or
unsatisfactory.
Conversely, the T&M Agreement dispute was more complex. It involved
a different set of facts and claims. While it involved a similar
billing dispute under the ESA, a substantial portion of trial was
devoted to whether construction delays were attributable to RMC or
Heritage, whether RMC materially breached the T&M Agreement,
justifying Heritage's termination for cause, and the reasonable
cost to complete RMC's scope of work of the Lighthouse Inn Project.
The Court finds that the work between the two contracts is not so
intercorrelated as to render segregation impossible.
Judgment will be issued in favor of RMC equal to the difference
between the two damages award.
The Court finds after offsetting RMC's recovery under the ESA
($1,004,227.27) against Heritage's recovery under the T&M Agreement
($872,259.99), RMC is entitled to $131,967.28 judgment.

HERTZ VEHICLE III: Moody's Assigns (P)Ba2 Rating to 2026-1 D Notes
------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Ratings has assigned provisional ratings to the series
2026-1 and series 2026-2 rental car asset-backed notes to be issued
by Hertz Vehicle Financing III LLC (HVF III, or the issuer), which
is Hertz's rental car ABS master trust facility.
The series 2026-1 notes and the series 2026-2 notes will have an
expected final payment date in three and five years, respectively.
HVF III is a Delaware limited liability company, a
bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity, and a direct subsidiary
of The Hertz Corporation (Hertz, B2 negative). The collateral
backing the notes consists of a fleet of vehicles and a single
operating lease of the fleet to Hertz for use in its rental car
business, as well as certain manufacturer and incentive rebate
receivables owed to the issuer by the original equipment
manufacturers (OEMs).
The complete rating actions are as follows:
Issuer: Hertz Vehicle Financing III LLC
Series 2026-1 Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class A, Assigned
(P)Aaa (sf)
Series 2026-1 Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class B, Assigned

Series 2026-2 Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class D, Assigned
(P)Ba2 (sf)
Series 2026-2 Rental Car Asset Backed Notes, Class E, Assigned
(P)Ba3 (sf)
RATINGS RATIONALE
The provisional ratings of the notes are based on (1) the credit
quality of the collateral in the form of rental fleet vehicles,
which The Hertz Corporation (Hertz) uses to operate its rental car
business, (2) the credit quality of Hertz, which has a corporate
family rating of B2 with a negative outlook, as the primary lessee
and guarantor under the single operating lease, (3) the experience
and expertise of Hertz as sponsor and administrator, (4)
consideration of the rental car market conditions, (5) the
available credit enhancement, which consists of
over-collateralization, (6) the required minimum liquidity in the
form of cash and/or a letter of credit, and (7) the transaction's
legal structure, including standard bankruptcy remoteness and
security interest provisions.
In addition, the assumptions Moody's applied in the analysis of
this transaction are the same as those applied in the analysis of
the series 2025-5 and series 2025-6 transactions. Some of the key
assumptions Moody's applied in Moody's quantitative analysis of
these transactions are provided in the Hertz Vehicle Financing III
LLC, Series 2026-1 and Series 2026-2 pre-sale report. Detailed
application of the assumptions is provided in the methodology.
The required credit enhancement for the series 2026-1 and series
2026-2 notes is a blended rate, which is a function of Moody's
ratings on the vehicle manufacturers and defined asset categories.
The actual required amount of credit enhancement fluctuates based
on the mix of vehicles in the securitized fleet. Consistent with
prior transactions, the series are subject to a credit enhancement
floor of 9.00% in the form of over-collateralization, regardless of
fleet composition. The series 2026-1 and series 2026-2 class A, B,
C, and D notes also benefit from subordination of 34.6%, 25.0%,
12.2%, and 4.6% of the outstanding balance of each series,
respectively. The minimum liquidity enhancement amount is around
3.75% of the outstanding note balance for the series 2026-1 notes
and 4.00% for the series 2026-2 notes, sized to cover six months of
interest plus 50 basis points.
PRINCIPAL METHODOLOGY
The principal methodology used in these ratings was "Rental Vehicle
Securitizations" published in June 2024.
Factors that would lead to an upgrade or downgrade of the ratings:
Up
Moody's could upgrade the ratings of the series 2026-1 and series
2026-2 notes if (1) the credit quality of the lessee improves, (2)
assumptions of the credit quality of the pool of vehicles
collateralizing the transaction were to improve, as reflected by a
stronger mix of program and non-program vehicles and stronger
credit quality of vehicle manufacturers, or (3) the residual values
of the non-program vehicles collateralizing the transaction were to
increase materially relative to Moody's expectations.
Down
Moody's could downgrade the ratings of the series 2026-1 and series
2026-2 notes if (1) the credit quality of the lessee deteriorates
or a corporate liquidation of the lessee were to occur and
introduce operational complexity in the liquidation of the fleet or
other risks, (2) assumptions of the credit quality of the pool of
vehicles collateralizing the transaction were to weaken, as
reflected by a weaker mix of program and non-program vehicles and
weaker credit quality of vehicle manufacturers, or (3) reduced
demand for used vehicles results in lower sales volumes and sharp
declines in used vehicle prices above Moody's assumed depreciation.

HUNTERSTOWN GENERATION: Moody's Affirms Ba3 Rating on Secured Loans
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Ratings has affirmed the Ba3 rating on the senior secured
credit facilities of Hunterstown Generation, LLC ("Hunterstown" or
the "Project"), including the proposed $50 million incremental Term
Loan B (TLB). The outlook remains stable.
Proceeds from the incremental TLB will be primarily used to fund a
distribution to the Sponsor. The transaction will modestly increase
leverage but maintains the existing capital structure and terms,
including a November 2031 maturity and preserve the existing
project finance structural protections. It is anticipated that the
existing incremental TLB will also reprice at a lower SOFR margin.
Additionally, Hunterstown is expected to increase the size of its
letter of credit facility (LC Facility) by approximately $5 million
up to $60 million from the current LC Facility size of $55
million.
RATINGS RATIONALE
The Ba3 rating affirmation reflects Hunterstown's continued strong
operating performance and improved cash flow profile, supported by
favorable PJM market capacity prices and the Project's rolling
spark spread hedging strategy, partially offset by the proposed
incremental leverage and continued exposure to merchant price
volatility.
Hunterstown's credit profile considers improving market
fundamentals as evidenced by elevated PJM capacity prices at least
through the 2027/2028 delivery period and strengthening spark
spreads that support higher expected cash flows and credit metrics.
Additionally, the Project's rolling spark spread hedging strategy
covers a meaningful portion of its energy margins and provides near
term downside cash flow protection. The Project's competitive cost
position is reflective of its access to low-cost Marcellus and
Utica gas supply and in combination with the plant's competitive
heat rate that contributes to strong dispatch and margins.
Moody's expects the Project's near term credit metrics inclusive of
the incremental TLB to remain supportive of the Ba3 rating. Based
on the cash flow scenarios considered by us, Moody's anticipates
that the Project's expected three year average debt service
coverage ratio (DSCR) to be at approximately 3.8x based on interest
and the minimum required 1% per annum amortization of the TLB, and
the Project's cash flow from operations (CFO) to debt ratio to be
approximately 23%.
The rating also consider several credit constraints including the
Project's inherent exposure to merchant power market volatility as
a single asset and uncertainty in longer-term PJM capacity prices.
The incremental leverage for sponsor distributions results in
higher near term leverage and an increase in refinancing risk
relative to previous expectations.
RATING OUTLOOK
The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectations that Hunterstown
will maintain its improved operating profile and generate financial
results and credit metrics which will exceed levels achieved over
the past years based on improved PJM capacity prices which are
known at least through mid-2028 and strengthened energy spark
spreads based on improved power market fundamentals within PJM.
The stable outlook further considers the Sponsor's rolling hedging
strategy which locks in a portion of the energy margins at the
Project, and further acknowledges measures taken by the Sponsor to
improve plant operations since owning the Project.
FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS
Upgrade drivers:
-- Better than expected project cash flows such that the DSCR
exceeds 3.5x
-- Adjusted CFO/debt ratio is greater than 22% on a sustained
basis
-- Consistent financial policy including the sustained repayment
of debt in accordance with Moody's Base Case expectations
Downgrade drivers:
-- Prolonged operating problems at the plant or merchant energy
and capacity market conditions deteriorate considerably
-- The Project's DSCR decreases below 1.8x and its adjusted CFO to
debt ratio decreases below 10% on a sustained basis
PROFILE

INOTIV INC: Going Concern Persists as Debt, Losses Mount in Q2
--------------------------------------------------------------
Inotiv, Inc. has filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, reporting a consolidated
net loss of $32,467,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026,
compared to a net loss of $14,866,000 for the same period in the
prior year.
For the six-month period ended March 31, 2026, the Company reported
a consolidated net loss of $60,845,000, compared to a net loss of
$42,496,000 in the corresponding prior-year period.
Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were
$117,652,000, compared to $124,323,000 in the prior-year period.
Revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2026 decreased to
$238,531,000 from $244,199,000 in the same period of the prior
year.
Liquidity and Going Concern
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $15,180,000 and access to up to $2,000,000 under its
$15,000,000 revolving credit facility, which had a $13,000,000
balance outstanding that remains outstanding as of the date of this
report. Further, for the six months ended March 31, 2026, the
Company had negative operating cash flows, operating losses and
consolidated net losses. The financial covenants under the
Company's Credit Agreement, dated as of November 5, 2021 include,
among others, the First Lien Leverage Ratio and the Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio. The Credit Agreement, as amended by the Eighth
Amendment entered into on February 8, 2026, also includes a minimum
liquidity covenant of $30,000,000, beginning with the March 6, 2026
liquidity test date and for each liquidity test date thereafter,
which is the last business day of each week. As previously
disclosed, the lenders under the Credit Agreement have granted the
Company waivers of the minimum liquidity covenant for each
liquidity test date from the March 6, 2026 test date through the
May 8, 2026 test date.
Subsequent to March 31, 2026 and within the period of time under
the Credit Agreement, the lenders under the Credit Agreement
granted the Company a waiver of the First Lien Leverage Ratio and
the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio financial covenants applicable to
the period ended March 31, 2026. As a result of the waiver, the
Company was in compliance with its financial covenants under the
Credit Agreement for the period ended March 31, 2026. This waiver
is limited and does not modify these or any other covenant
requirements for future periods.
On April 15, 2026, the Company was required to make an interest
payment of approximately $2,139 under its Convertible Bond
Indenture. As of the date of this Report, the Company has not made
such interest payment, and the applicable grace period for such
payment is scheduled to expire on May 15, 2026. If the Company does
not make the interest payment prior to the expiration of the
applicable grace period, an event of default will occur under the
Convertible Bond Indenture. Upon the occurrence of such event of
default, the holders of the convertible notes will have the right
to declare all amounts outstanding under the Convertible Bond
Indenture to be immediately due and payable, in accordance with the
terms of the Convertible Bond Indenture. In addition, the failure
to make a payment on indebtedness past the grace period under the
Convertible Bond Indenture will constitute an event of default
under the Company's Credit Agreement.
Management's fiscal 2026 annual operating plan forecasts
noncompliance with its financial covenants pursuant to the Credit
Agreement for the remainder of fiscal 2026. If the Company's
results of operations in the 12 months following the date of this
report do not improve relative to the results of the first six
months of fiscal 2026 and to the forecast in the 2026 annual
operating plan, the Company will not be able to comply with its
financial covenants under its Credit Agreement. Further, the
Company's Term Loan Facility, Delayed Draw Term Loan, Incremental
Term Loans, any outstanding balance on the revolving credit
facility and the Second Lien Notes mature in the next 12 months.
If at any time in the 12 months following the date of this report,
the Company fails to comply with its financial covenants which
remain unremedied for the period of time stipulated under the
Credit Agreement, this would constitute an event of default under
the Credit Agreement and the lenders may, among other remedies set
out under the Credit Agreement, declare all or any portion of the
outstanding principal amount of the borrowings plus accrued and
unpaid interest to be immediately due and payable. Furthermore, if
the lenders were to accelerate the loans under the Credit
Agreement, such acceleration would constitute a default under the
indentures governing the Company's Convertible Senior Notes (the
"Notes") and the Company's 15.00% Senior Secured Second Lien PIK
Notes due 2027 (the "Second Lien Notes") which, if not cured within
30 days following notice of such default from such trustees or
holders of 25 percent of the Notes and from the trustee or holders
of 30 percent of the Second Lien Notes, would permit the trustee or
such holders to accelerate the Notes and the Second Lien Notes. If
the loans under the Credit Agreement, the Notes and the Second Lien
Notes are accelerated, the Company does not believe its existing
cash and cash equivalents, together with cash generated from
operations, would be sufficient to fund its operations, satisfy its
obligations, including cash outflows for planned targeted capital
expenditures, and repay the entirety of its outstanding senior term
loans, outstanding revolving credit facility balance, outstanding
Notes and outstanding Second Lien Notes in the next 12 months.
Additionally, access to the revolving credit facility would be
restricted and such funds would not be available to pay for any
operating activities.
The Company's evaluation of its ability to continue as a going
concern in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles entailed analyzing prospective fully implemented
operating budgets and forecasts for expectations of its cash needs
and comparing those needs to the current cash and cash equivalent
balances in order to satisfy its obligations, including cash
outflows for planned targeted capital expenditures, and to comply
with minimum liquidity and financial covenant requirements under
its debt covenants related to borrowings pursuant to its Credit
Agreement for at least the next 12 months. This evaluation
initially does not take into consideration the potential mitigating
effect of management's plans that have not been fully implemented
and are outside of its control as of the date the condensed
consolidated financial statements are issued. When substantial
doubt exists under this methodology, the Company evaluates whether
the mitigating effect of its plans sufficiently alleviates
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
The mitigating effect of management's plans, however, is only
considered if both:
(1) it is probable that the plans will be effectively
implemented within one year after the date that the condensed
consolidated financial statements are issued, and
(2) it is probable that the plans, when implemented, will
mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial
doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern
within one year after the date that these condensed consolidated
financial statements are issued.
Management has developed the Company's fiscal 2026 annual operating
plan in which the Company plans to continue its efforts to optimize
its capital allocation and expense base. Additionally, the
Company's plan is to continue its efforts to improve its operating
results with a sustained focus on client service and margin
discipline, increasing its volume of DTS and safety assessment
contract awards and increasing its RMS product and service revenue.
However, the Company believes its existing cash and cash
equivalents, together with cash generated from operations, will not
be sufficient to fund its operations and satisfy its obligations
for the next 12 months, absent a transaction that positively
impacts the Company's liquidity and reduces its debt obligations.
Further, management's fiscal 2026 annual operating plan forecasts
noncompliance with its financial covenants pursuant to the Credit
Agreement. In the event that the Company fails to comply with the
requirements of the financial covenants set forth in the Credit
Agreement, the Company has approximately 55 days subsequent to any
fiscal quarter, and approximately 100 days subsequent to fiscal
year-end, to cure noncompliance. The Company also continues to
discuss its current business conditions with its lenders. However,
there is no assurance that the Company's lenders will agree to any
amendment or extension to the Credit Agreement.
Additionally, the Company is exploring potential recapitalization,
reorganization, refinancing, or restructuring transactions, or
other strategic alternatives. There is no assurance that the
Company will be able to complete any such transaction or
alternative on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.
The Company's liquidity needs and compliance with covenants depend,
among other things, on its ability to recapitalize, reorganize,
refinance, restructure or complete any other strategic alternative,
source and sell NHPs, fill its expanded DSA capacity, generate cash
from other operating activities and manage its forecasted capital
expenditures. There can be no assurances that management's efforts
to complete any such transaction or alternative will be realized or
achieve the intended results. As a result, substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern exists.

INTEGRATED PROTEINS: Gets Interim OK to Use Cash Collateral
-----------------------------------------------------------
Integrated Proteins LLC and affiliates received interim approval
from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Kansas to use
cash collateral.
The court approved the Debtors' use of cash collateral through the
June 11 final hearing and authorized intercompany payments needed
to support ongoing operations, including use of facilities,
equipment, factories, employees, and rolling stock.
The Debtors estimate their cash collateral at roughly $33.3 million
while secured debts owed to First Interstate Bank and Kompass
Kapital Funding, LLC total more than $31.7 million. Because those
senior liens consume nearly all collateral value, the debtors
contend that junior lenders are effectively unsecured.
As adequate protection, creditors claiming interests in cash
collateral will be granted replacement liens or continuing liens on
assets acquired by the Debtors after their Chapter 11 filing,
maintaining the same priority as their pre-petition liens.
In addition, First Interstate Bank and Kompass will receive weekly
payments of $57,692 and $23,527, respectively. Both may seek
superpriority claims under Sections 503(b) and 507(b) if the value
of their collateral declines.
Any default under the interim order, including missed payments or
reporting failures, may result in termination of the Debtors'
authority to use cash collateral after notice and an opportunity to
cure.
A copy of the court's order and the Debtor's budget is available at
https://shorturl.at/lWT06 from PacerMonitor.com.
The Debtors face severe liquidity problems despite strong revenues,
largely due to approximately $40 million in trade debt and $18
million in merchant cash advance liabilities. They believe that
Chapter 11 protection will improve cash flow by stopping those
payment obligations.
The Debtors run a large pet food manufacturing and transportation
business in the Kansas City area, generating over $20 million
monthly and employing around 250 workers through an affiliate
staffing company.
About Integrated Proteins LLC
Integrated Proteins, LLC and affiliates sought protection under
Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. D. Kan. Lead Case No.

estimated assets of between $50,000,001-$100 million and
liabilities of between $100,000,001-$500 million.

JAIME H. RESNICK: Court Dismisses Bankruptcy Case
-------------------------------------------------
The Hon. John K. Sherwood of the United States Bankruptcy Court for
the District of New Jersey dismissed the bankruptcy case of Jaime
H. Resnick under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 1112(b)(1) with a one-year filing
bar.
The United States Trustee Trustee filed a motion to dismiss
pursuant to 11 U.S.C Sec. 1112(b) with a one-year filing bar. The
Trustee argues this is a bad faith Chapter 11 filing because there
is no valid bankruptcy purpose. The Debtor is not trying to
preserve a going concern or maximize the value of her estate. The
Trustee contends that the Debtor is attempting to re-litigate
certain claims related to her business partner, Daniel Risis. Mr.
Risis filed two pro se individual bankruptcy cases before this
Court. Both cases were dismissed for cause and the Court barred Mr.
Risis from filing bankruptcy proceedings for fixed time periods.
The Debtor contends her case should not be dismissed because she is
seeking to stabilize her financial condition and reorganize.
The Court finds that cause for dismissal exists under 11 U.S.C.
Sec. 1112(b)(1) because this case does not serve a valid bankruptcy
purpose.
According to Judge Sherwood, "The Bankruptcy Court is not the place
and unliquidated claims. The Debtor lists business and investment
interests with Daniel Risis totaling $80,000,000 and claims against
third parties totaling $40,000,000. To the extent the Debtor wishes
to pursue these claims, she can do so in the State and Federal
Courts."
Moreover, the Debtor will be unable to confirm a plan. She has
$22,854 in monthly expenses and $2,000 in monthly income. The Court
says without the ability to confirm a plan, there is no valid
reorganizational purpose in this Chapter 11 case.
The Court finds a one-year filing bar is warranted under 11 U.S.C.
Secs. 349(a) and 105(a).

JERRY'S PLACE: Not Eligible to Proceed Under Subchapter V
---------------------------------------------------------
Judge Selene D. Maddox of the United States Bankruptcy Court for
the Northern District of Mississippi sustained the United States
Trustee's objection to the designation of Jerry's Place Cleveland,
LLC as a Subchapter V Debtor. The Debtor is not eligible to proceed
under Subchapter V of Chapter 11.
The issue before the Court is whether the Debtor may proceed under
Subchapter V of Chapter 11 or whether the Debtor is excluded from
Subchapter V because its primary activity is the business of owning
single asset real estate.
The UST alleges that the Debtor's assets consist of contiguous
commercial lots located at 3612 Highway 61 North in Cleveland,
Mississippi, with one lot containing a commercial building and
another lot consisting of a gravel parking area. It further alleges
that Delta Ag, Inc. leases the property from the Debtor and that
Lamar Companies pays the Debtor for a billboard located on the
property.
The Debtor contends that it owns at least two separate contiguous
parcels. According to the Debtor, one parcel contains the
commercial building leased to Delta Ag, and another parcel contains
the billboard subject to a separate arrangement with Lamar. The
Debtor also asserts that its income is derived from two separate
sources: the Delta Ag lease and the Lamar billboard arrangement.
The Court finds because the Debtor's business is limited to owning
and monetizing contiguous commercial property on Highway 61 North
through the Delta Ag lease, the Lamar billboard arrangement, and
efforts to sell the property, the Debtor is a single asset real
estate debtor within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. Sec. 101(51B).
Therefore, the UST's Objection should be sustained.
Judge Maddox explains, "The Debtor owns and monetizes a single
commercial real estate project on Highway 61 North in Cleveland,
Mississippi. Its income is generated by the Delta Ag lease and the
Lamar billboard arrangement. The record fails to show that the
Debtor operates Delta Ag's business, Lamar's advertising business,
or any other business separate from owning, leasing, managing,
marketing, and monetizing rights associated with the property. The
Lamar billboard arrangement, including any potential sale or buyout
option, may be an asset of value to the estate. But it remains a
property-related right arising from the Debtor's ownership and
operation of the real property. It does not constitute substantial
business activity separate from the operation of the real
property."

Debtor's cash, operating revenues, and receivables, including funds
in pre-petition accounts based on UCC filings. The asserted liens
may extend to equipment and other assets that could constitute cash
collateral, though their validity and scope remain undetermined and
are subject to challenge by the Debtor.
As protection, the liens held by secured creditors on their
collateral extend to the Debtor's post-petition assets. In
addition, the order requires the Debtor to remain current on all
post-petition tax obligations and prohibits dispositions of assets
outside the ordinary course of business without lender consent and
court approval.

KRUGER PACKAGING: DBRS Confirms BB(high) Issuer Rating
------------------------------------------------------
DBRS Limited (Morningstar DBRS) confirmed the Issuer Rating and
Senior Unsecured Notes credit rating of Kruger Packaging Holdings
L.P. (KPH or the Company) at BB (high) with Stable trends.
Morningstar DBRS also confirmed the recovery rating of RR3 on the
Senior Unsecured Notes.
KEY CREDIT RATING CONSIDERATIONS
KPH's earnings and cash flows increased in 2025 compared with 2024
as a result of higher price realizations in conjunction with lower
average old corrugated container (OCC) and variable costs resulting
from a pullback in inflationary pressures in the industry, which
lead to an improvement in profit margin spread. This resulted in
stronger overall credit metrics of the Company in line with
Morningstar DBRS' expectations. KPH generated 84% of revenue in
2025 from its Containerboard, Paperboard & Boxes segment, with the
remainder from the Paper & Pulp Products segment. EBITDA from the
Paper & Pulp Products segment deteriorated in 2025 because of lower
price realizations combined with higher input costs. KPH has
appropriately scaled down operations in this segment over the last
several years given that North American demand for newsprint has
been in secular decline. Morningstar DBRS expects KPH's 2026 EBITDA
to improve year over year as a result of an anticipated increase in
price realizations offset by an increase in OCC costs as it reverts
to historical levels.
KPH's greenfield box plant in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, became
operational in 2022. The total capital cost for the project was USD
142 million, excluding start-up capital. The box plant will likely
reach full capacity by 2027, and along with its two Canadian box
plants and further downstream integration investments, KPH expects
to increase the integration for its containerboard production to
about 93% by 2028 from around 54% currently.
The Stable trends reflect Morningstar DBRS' expectation that KPH's
key credit metrics will continue to support the credit ratings.
CREDIT RATING DRIVERS
Morningstar DBRS may consider a positive credit rating action if
there were a substantial improvement in the Company's business risk
profile while it maintained its credit metrics. While unlikely, a
negative credit rating action would be possible if there were a
significant deterioration in the Company's financial risk profile.
EARNINGS OUTLOOK
After witnessing a sharp increase in average OCC prices in 2024 as
a result of higher demand in North America and global inflationary
pressures, OCC prices declined in 2025, though Morningstar DBRS
expects them to gradually increase over the next few years.
However, improved North American demand, in conjunction with strong
capacity management by industry leaders, will lead to an
improvement in the Company's overall profit spread and higher
earnings from the Containerboard, Paperboard & Boxes segment. The
Paper & Pulp Products segment's earnings are also likely to improve
compared with 2025 as a result of improved newsprint selling
prices. That said, this segment is positioned to generate a
declining level of earnings due to the structural decline of the
segment. The Company will also continue to benefit from the
Hydro-Québec 20% electricity rebate, which will be in effect until
2032.
FINANCIAL OUTLOOK
Morningstar DBRS estimates the average adjusted debt-to-EBITDA
ratio will decrease to below 2.0 times (x) during the next couple
of years as the margins improve as a result of improved price
realization and increased capacity utilization at the new
Elizabethtown box plant.
CREDIT RATING RATIONALE
Comprehensive Business Risk Assessment (CBRA): BB
The credit ratings are underpinned by KPH's exposure to the less
volatile paper packaging industry, stable, nondiscretionary
end-market customers, and low-cost, efficient operations. However,
they are constrained by the Company's lack of size and market
position in the North American containerboard segment, lack of
diversification in the broader paper and forest products industry,
exposure to volatile input costs, and relatively low (albeit
increasing) forward integration into its corrugated box plants. The
CBRA factors in a negative 1.0-notch adjustment related to the
Company's lack of size and market position.
Comprehensive Financial Risk Assessment (CFRA): BBBH
The credit ratings are supported by a conservative financial policy
and low leverage for the current credit rating category.
Morningstar DBRS expects containerboard prices to further improve
in 2026, thus resulting in average 2026 prices to be above average
2025 prices as a result of demand outstripping supply as overall
industry operating rates remain below full capacity. As a result,
Morningstar DBRS expects the adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio to
decrease to about 1.9x in 2026 compared with 2.0x in 2025. All
other credit metrics remain supportive of the current credit
ratings.
Intrinsic Assessment (IA): BBH
The IA of BBH is within the IA Range and is based on the CBRA and
CFRA, also taking into consideration the current credit rating
trend and peer comparisons, among other factors.
Additional Considerations: None
KPH's credit ratings include no further negative or positive
adjustments because of additional considerations.
Notes: All figures are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.

that the Company incurred substantial operating losses in the years

LEISURE INVESTMENTS: Plan Exclusivity Period Extended to July 27
----------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Laurie Selber Silverstein of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Delaware extended Leisure Investments Holdings LLC,
and certain of its affiliates' exclusive periods to file a plan of
reorganization and obtain acceptance thereof to July 27 and Sept.
28, 2026, respectively.
As shared by Troubled Company Reporter, the Debtors have continued
to work with parties in interest, including the Debtors'
prepetition and postpetition lenders, the Committee, the U.S.
Trustee, and others to pursue the sale and restructuring process
and maintain case momentum despite a variety of operational and
other challenges. The Debtors and their professionals have devoted
substantial time, energy, and resources to reach this point in the
Chapter 11 Cases.
Moreover, the sale and/or restructuring of the Debtors' Mexican
assets involve complicated transactions and implicate tax, animal
transfer, and other operational considerations under Mexican law
that the Debtors and parties in interest have spent substantial
amounts of time and resources to adequately address for purposes of
facilitating a value-maximizing transaction. The complexity of the
various issues addressed, and the time, effort, and planning
required to obtain the progress made thus far warrant the requested
extension of the Exclusive Periods.
The Debtors explain that the requested extension of the Exclusive
Periods is reasonable given the current status of the Chapter 11
Cases and the progress achieved to date. The Debtors have made
significant progress in the Chapter 11 Cases. An extension of the
Exclusive Periods as requested herein will allow the Debtors to
finalize a chapter 11 plan that meets the requirements of the
Bankruptcy Code and effectuates the Debtors' ultimate restructuring
and asset disposition strategy. Accordingly, the Debtors' efforts
to date and the tasks that remain to be completed justify the
extension of the Exclusive Periods.
The Debtors claim that the companies and their professionals have
expended, and will continue to expend, substantial resources to
maintain control over their books, records, and operations. Even
so, the Debtors have diligently pursued their marketing and sale
strategy, which is nearing consummation. The Debtors require
additional time to submit a chapter 11 plan that effectuates the
Debtors' sale transactions and ultimate wind down strategy.
Accordingly, the Debtors submit that this factor weighs in favor of
extending the Exclusive Periods.

LIV GOLF: Prepares Possible Bankruptcy Filing in the U.S.
---------------------------------------------------------
Dinesh Nair, Giles Turner and Reshmi Basu of Bloomberg News report
that LIV Golf has reportedly started preparing contingency plans
for a potential US bankruptcy filing as it struggles to secure new
financing, according to people familiar with the matter. The golf
league is actively seeking investors after its primary financial
supporter, the Public Investment Fund, withdrew funding support.
Sources said LIV Golf’s management team and advisers are
exploring alternatives to stabilize the business, including
attracting outside capital and strategic investors. At the same
time, executives are also preparing for the possibility that the
league could cease operations following the conclusion of its
season in late August if additional financing cannot be secured.
Representatives for LIV Golf declined to comment on the reported
restructuring preparations. Representatives connected to the Saudi
Public Investment Fund also did not publicly address the funding
withdrawal or the league’s financial outlook.
The developments mark a significant shift for LIV Golf, which
launched with substantial financial backing and aggressively
competed with established golf organizations for players,
sponsorships, and media attention. A potential bankruptcy filing
would raise questions about the future of the league and the
long-term viability of its business model, the report relays.
About Liv Golf
LIV Golf is a professional golf enterprise founded in 2022 with the
goal of transforming the traditional golf tournament structure. The
league introduced innovative competition formats, including team
play and condensed tournaments, while offering substantial
financial incentives to participating players.
LYCRA COMPANY: CEO Steps Down After Chapter 11 Exit
---------------------------------------------------
SGB Media reports that CEO Gary Smith exits after Lycra Company
emerges from Chapter 11 Bankruptcy after successfully restructuring
its balance sheet and reducing more than $1.2 billion in debt. The
company also obtained more than $75 million in new equity funding
as part of the court-supervised restructuring process.
In connection with the emergence, Gary Smith departed as CEO and
Chief Financial Officer Dean Williams was appointed interim chief
executive. The company also named a new board of directors chaired
by Bruce Rubin, an executive with decades of experience in the
chemicals and energy industries.
The company said a new group of global investment funds will assume
ownership of the reorganized business. Lycra noted that the
investors have long supported the company’s securities and intend
to continue investing in operational improvements, innovation, and
brand expansion following the restructuring.
Williams said the restructuring marks a turning point that leaves
Lycra in a stronger financial position with renewed growth
potential. The company’s executive leadership team will remain
largely intact as it works alongside new owners and directors to
accelerate recovery and expand its market position in the textile
industry.

LYNSKEY PERFORMANCE: Gets Interim OK to Use Cash Collateral
-----------------------------------------------------------
Lynskey Performance Products, LLC got the green light from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee, Southern
Division, to use cash collateral.
At the recently held hearing, the court authorized the Debtor's
interim use of cash collateral and set a final hearing for June
11.
The Debtor needs to use cash collateral to pay ordinary operating
expenses such as insurance, maintenance, taxes, supplies, and
management costs.
FirstBank, a secured lender, holds a deed of trust on the Debtor's
Chattanooga property with an estimated debt of about $1.8 million.
The property is worth at least $2.3 million, making the lender
oversecured as collateral value exceeds the debt owed.
As adequate protection for the lender's interests, the Debtor
offers monthly payments of $12,000 to FirstBank, beginning on June
1. The Debtor believes these payments, combined with the equity
cushion in the property and existing insurance coverage,
sufficiently protect the lender while the bankruptcy case
proceeds.

M&M APPLIANCE: Seeks Cash Collateral Access
-------------------------------------------
M&M Appliance Service and Sales, Inc. asks the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Columbia for authority to use cash
collateral to fund its operations through June 30.
The Debtor's accounts constitute cash collateral, which may be used
only with lender consent or court approval.
The Debtor historically generated over $20 million in annual
revenue. Its financial distress began after Fulton Bank accelerated
a $1.86 million line of credit that it could neither repay nor
refinance.
Fulton Bank's line of credit is secured by the Debtor's personal
property through a security agreement and UCC-1 financing statement
and is additionally cross-collateralized by real property located
at 6201 Blair Road NW in Washington, D.C., owned by affiliated
debtor 6201 Blair Road, LLC. That affiliated entity also filed
Chapter 11 bankruptcy to stop a foreclosure sale scheduled by
Fulton Bank.
The Debtor states that the Blair Road property was appraised
between approximately $2.2 million and $2.5 million and is
currently being marketed for sale, with anticipated sale proceeds
intended to satisfy Fulton Bank's debt. In addition to Fulton Bank,
the Debtor identifies two other secured creditors: the U.S. Small
Business Administration, which claims roughly $1.93 million secured
by a blanket lien on personal property, and the District of
Columbia Office of Tax and Revenue, which claims several hundred
thousand dollars in tax liens. Altogether, the secured obligations
total approximately $4.46 million, while the Debtor values its
personal property at approximately $5.61 million.
To provide adequate protection to secured creditors, the Debtor
proposes continuing monthly payments of $14,726 to Fulton Bank,
$10,052 to the SBA, and $10,000 to DC OTR.
The Debtor also requests that the secured creditors receive
replacement liens on post-petition collateral to the same extent
and priority as their pre-petition liens, thereby protecting them
from any decline in collateral value during the bankruptcy case.
Additionally, the Debtor agrees to provide monthly operating
reports and any other reasonable financial information requested by
the lenders or taxing authority.

MERRICK WOODWORKING: Gets Interim OK to Use Cash Collateral
-----------------------------------------------------------
Merrick Woodworking Corp. received interim approval from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado to use cash
collateral.
Under the interim order, the Debtor is authorized to use cash
collateral through the June 15 final hearing. The Debtor must
follow the approved budget, subject to monthly fluctuations by no
more than 15% for each expense line item. Any spending outside
those limits requires further approval.
Any creditor holding security interest in the cash collateral will
be granted replacement liens on all post-petition accounts
receivable. The replacement liens serve to protect secured
creditors against any diminution in value of their collateral
resulting from the Debtor's post-petition use of funds.
The order is available at
http://bankrupt.com/misc/Merrick_ICCOrder.pdf
As of the petition date, the Debtor reported approximately $105,000
in accounts receivable, $13,233 in cash, and inventory valued at
roughly $93,553. Existing work orders total approximately $176,000,
while average monthly collections are estimated at $35,000, though
they may fluctuate significantly.
The Debtor's bankruptcy filing is closely tied to two related cases
involving Bigfoot Paradise, LLC, which owns the real estate where
the Debtor operates, and Kevin Merrick, the owner of both entities.
The financial distress arose after Bigfoot Paradise experienced a
110% increase in real estate taxes, raising the obligation to
$130,000. Although $100,000 was paid, the taxing authority refused
partial payment arrangements, prompting PNC Bank, which had covered
the taxes, to declare a default and accelerate repayment of more

MODIVCARE INC: Court Sets Contempt Bid Evidence Hearing
-------------------------------------------------------
Emlyn Cameron of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that a Texas
bankruptcy court will conduct an evidentiary hearing in the dispute
between White & Case LLP and Modivcare Inc. after a judge declined
to immediately rule on a contempt motion tied to Chapter 11 fees.
The judge said the record contains disputed factual issues that
require further development.
White & Case has accused Modivcare of violating obligations related
to bankruptcy fee payments, while Modivcare has pushed back,
arguing the contempt allegations are unsupported and legally
flawed. The disagreement stems from ongoing litigation connected to
the company's restructuring proceedings, the report states.
The evidentiary hearing will allow the bankruptcy court to review
testimony, documents, and other evidence before deciding whether
Modivcare should face contempt findings or sanctions. The dispute
remains one of the latest post-confirmation conflicts arising from
the Chapter 11 case, Law360 relays.
About Modivcare Inc.
ModivCare Inc. is a technology-enabled healthcare services company
that provides a suite of integrated supportive care solutions for
public and private payors and their members.
The Debtor sought protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. S.D. Tex. Case No. 25-90309) on August 20,
2025. In the petition signed by Chad J. Shandler, chief
transformation officer, the Debtor disclosed up to $10 billion in
both assets and liabilities.
Judge Alfredo R. Perez oversees the case.
Timothy A. Davidson II, Esq., at Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP,

NEUROONE MEDICAL: Q2 Loss Narrows to $2.1M; Warns of Cash Crunch
----------------------------------------------------------------
NeuroOne Medical Technologies Corporation has filed its Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission, reporting a net loss of $2.1 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2026, compared to a net loss of $2.3 million
for the same period in the prior year.
For the six-month period ended March 31, 2026, the Company reported
a net loss of $3.5 million, compared to a net loss of $485,285 in
the corresponding prior-year period.
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $2.4
million, compared to $1.4 million in the prior-year period.
Revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2026 increased to $5.9
million from $4.7 million in the same period of the prior year.
The Company has incurred losses since inception, negative cash
flows from operations, and an accumulated deficit of $82.1 million
as of March 31, 2026. To date, the Company's revenues have not been
sufficient to cover its full operating costs, and as such, it has
been dependent on funding operations through the issuance of debt
and sale of equity securities which previously resulted in
substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $2.8 million
in cash and cash equivalents. The Company believes its current
available cash and cash equivalents coupled with the anticipated
increase in product revenues from minimum purchases and improved
gross margins under the distribution agreement with Zimmer and
forecasted operating expense reductions, will be sufficient to fund
the Company's operations through September 2026. The raising of
additional funds is not solely within the control of the Company.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern. The condensed financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
of this condition. If the Company is unable to raise additional
funds, or the Company's anticipated operating results are not
achieved, management believes planned expenditures may need to be
reduced in order to extend the time period that existing resources
can fund the Company's operations.
The Company intends to fund ongoing activities by utilizing its
current cash and cash equivalents on hand, from product and
collaborations revenue and by raising additional capital through
equity or debt financing. If management is unable to obtain the
necessary capital, it may have a material adverse effect on the
operations of the Company and the development of its technology, or
the Company may have to cease operations altogether.

NEW GRANT: Amends UC Grant & Lincoln Secured Claims Pay
-------------------------------------------------------
New Grant Acquisitions, LLC submitted a Disclosure Statement to
accompany Second Amended Plan of Reorganization dated May 11,
2026.
The Debtor owns the historic W. D. Grant Building (the "Grant
Building" or the "Real Estate"), located at 44 Broad Street in
downtown Atlanta's Fairlie-Poplar Historic District.
In connection with the Debtor's purchase of the Grant Building, the
Debtor and UC Grant Building Holder, LLC (the "Lender" or "UC
Grant") executed a loan agreement on or about December 21, 2022
(the "Loan Agreement"), whereby Lender agreed to loan the Debtor up
to $36,500,000 (the "Loan"), in order to finance the continued
rehabilitation and conversion of the Grant Building from office
space into modern apartment rental units.
The Debtor and Bush contend that during most of the period from
July 2024, through July 2025, discussions regarding restructuring
occurred primarily between the Lender and the Debtor. Bush provided
support in the form of repricing and architecture input, but was
not a party to these discussions otherwise. Bush meanwhile was in
the process of settling the obligations to its subcontractors,
caused by the project default.
Following these failed efforts, Bush Construction and its
affiliated development arm, Bush Real Estate Development, LLC
attempted to work out a deal with the Debtor and UC Grant for Bush
to take over the renovation project and see it to final completion.
Lender's characterization of those discussions regarding a
potential deal are as follows: On June 27, 2025, Lender and Bush
Construction entered into a Letter of Intent outlining the terms of
Bush Construction's purchase of the Loan and Lender's security
interest for $15 Million. As became apparent after the fact, Bush
had no intention of closing on its purchase of the Loan; it signed
the LOI merely to delay Lender's foreclosure sale scheduled for
July 1, 2025 and create time for Bush to negotiate to purchase
Investor's interest in the Historic Tax Credits and gain control of
Debtor. Bush's plan and goal was to leverage Investor's Forbearance
Agreement with Lender to prevent Lender from foreclosing and then
attempt to promote Bush's junior lien above lender's First Position
Security Deed.
The Debtor and Bush's characterization of those discussions are as
follows: Bush's representative, Brent Crittenden, began discussing
alternate options with the Lender in April of 2025. Over the course
of several months there were discussions between Mr. Crittenden
and/or other Bush representatives and the Lender's VP of
Underwriting concerning a possible reset and a loan purchase. On
April 30th, 2025, Mr. Crittenden made his first formal request for
further project details from the Lender and explained that Bush
would not be able to proceed further without items like the tax
credit documentation and other structuring information and offered
that Bush's counsel could discuss with Lender's counsel.
After more than a year of on-again, off-again negotiations, on July
30, 2025, the Lender contends that Bush Development terminated the
LOI with the Lender and instead acquired the sole member of
Investor, which Bush asserts includes its rights to the valuable
Historic Tax Credits generated by the rehabilitation project.
Around the same time that Bush Development acquired Investor, and
thus control of the Debtor, with plans to advance the project and,
as contended by the Lender, the termination of the LOI with the
Lender, the Lender sent a second Default Notice to the Debtor
advising the Debtor that it was required to make an immediate
payment of the outstanding Loan balance of $24,037,776.22, and that
Lender would be foreclosing on its security interest in the Grant
Building through a non-judicial foreclosure sale to be conducted on
September 2, 2025.
Class 4 consists of Allowed Secured Claims of UC Grant. All Allowed
Secured Claims of UC Grant are placed in Class 4. The Debtor
estimates that the current liquidation value of UC Grant's
collateral, the Grant Building, is approximately $4,800,000. The UC
Grant shall be treated under one of the following alternatives
under the Plan:
* In the event that UC Grant votes to accept the Plan and
otherwise does not object to Confirmation of the Plan, then (i) UC
Grant shall have an Allowed Secured Claim in the amount of
$8,000,000, which shall be paid by Distribution from the Plan
Sponsor Proceeds as soon as reasonably practicable following the
Effective Date, and (ii) UC Grant shall have no other Allowed
Claims; or
* In the event that UC Grant votes to reject the Plan and/or
objects to Confirmation of the Plan, then (i) UC Grant shall have
an Allowed Secured Claim in the amount of $4,800,000, which shall
be paid by Distribution from the Plan Sponsor Proceeds as soon as
reasonably practicable following the Effective Date, (ii) the
remaining portion of the UC Grant Claim shall be an Allowed
Unsecured Claim and treated under Class 6, and (iii) the Debtor
shall ask the Court to restrict UC Grant's ability to credit bid
the UC Grant Claim for "cause" under Sections 363(k) and
1129(b)(ii) in the event the Plan Sponsor elects to consummate the
Plan Sponsor Transaction as an asset purchase.
Class 4 is impaired under the Plan and is entitled to vote. The
Lender disputes that the Debtor can force it to accept this
treatment of its claims, or that cause exists to deny its credit
bid rights, and intends to vigorously object to and contest this
proposed treatment and reserves all rights.
Class 5 consists of Allowed Claims of Lincoln Savings Bank. Lincoln
Savings Bank filed Proof of Claim No. 3 (the "Lincoln Claim") on
January 8, 2026, asserting a Secured Claim in the amount of
$911,268.41. The basis for the Lincoln Claim and the security
interests asserted by Lincoln Savings Bank are described in the
Addendum to Proof of Claim of Lincoln Savings Bank (the "Addendum")
which is attached as an exhibit to the Lincoln Claim. The Lincoln
Claim is subject to further review and possible objection by UC
Grant.
In full satisfaction of the Lincoln Claim and all security
interests asserted under the Security Documents, Bush has agreed to
assign to Lincoln Savings Bank $250,000 of any Plan Sponsor Tax
Credit Payments which may be payable in the future to Bush. Lincoln
Savings Bank shall have no other Allowed Claims. Class 5 is
Impaired under the Plan and is entitled to vote. The Lender
reserves all rights to object to the claim and this treatment.
Class 6 consists of all Allowed Unsecured Claims which are not
included in any other Class. Each Holder of a Class 6 Claim shall
receive a pro rata share of Distributions to be made from any Plan
Sponsor Proceeds remaining after payment in full of all Allowed
Secured Claims, Allowed Administrative Expense Claims, Allowed
Priority Tax Claims, and Allowed Priority Claims. Additionally, any
net proceeds generated from pursuit of any Causes of Action by the
Reorganized Debtor shall be used to fund pro rata Distributions to
the Holders of Allowed Unsecured Claims. Each Holder of an Allowed
Unsecured Claim in Class 6 is entitled to vote to accept or reject
the Plan. The Lender reserves all rights to object to any claim and
this treatment.
The proposed Plan Sponsor Transaction described in the Plan Sponsor
Agreement includes, without limitation, the following terms: (i)
the Plan Sponsor shall acquire the equity interests in the Grant
ATL Equity Investors; (ii) the cash portion of the purchase price
to be paid to the Debtor at closing as the Plan Sponsor Proceeds,
is $10,000,700.00; (iii) the Plan Sponsor Transaction would close
no later than forty-five days following the Confirmation Date; (iv)
following the closing, the Reorganized Debtor would be controlled
by the Plan Sponsor, directly or indirectly and would hold the
Grant Building free and clear of all liens, claims and interests,
except as expressly set forth in the Plan; and (v) Bush (and its
assigns and/or designees) would receive the Plan Sponsor Tax Credit
Payments.
All Payments to Holders of Allowed Claims shall be paid from the
Plan Sponsor Transaction Proceeds. Additionally, any net proceeds
generated from pursuit of any Causes of Action by the Reorganized
Debtor shall be used to fund pro rata Distributions to the Holders
of Allowed Unsecured Claims. Except as otherwise provided in the
Plan, no Claims shall bear interest from and after the Petition
Date.

NEXT GENERATION: Final Cash Collateral Hearing Set for May 27
-------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Oklahoma is
set to hold a hearing on May 27 to consider final approval of Next
Generation Roofing, LLC's authority to use cash collateral.
The Debtor was initially allowed to access cash collateral under
the court's May 13 interim order.
The initial order approved the payment of expenses from cash
collateral in accordance with the Debtor's budget and granted
Farmers Bank a valid and perfected first-priority post-petition
lien on the Debtor's cash and other collateral.
The order did not require "adequate protection" payments to Farmers
Bank during the interim period; however, the bank may seek
additional protection or other relief at the May 27 final hearing.
The order is available at
http://bankrupt.com/misc/NextGeneration_ICCOrder.pdf
Next Generation Roofing filed for bankruptcy after becoming unable
to service its debt obligations, particularly merchant cash advance
financing, which had placed severe pressure on its cash flow and
contributed to operational instability.
The Debtor lacks sufficient unencumbered cash to fund ongoing
business expenses and, therefore, requires access to cash
collateral to avoid shutdown.
The Debtor identifies Farmers Bank and several merchant cash
advance lenders as potential secured creditors with interests in
cash collateral. It disputes the validity and priority of many MCA
liens, arguing that Farmers Bank holds the senior position and that
other claims may be junior or unsecured.
About Next Generation Roofing LLC

inspection services in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, serving property

26-11534) on May 6, 2026, with between $1 million and $10 million
in both assets and liabilities. Stephen Moriarty, Esq., at Fellers,
Snider, Blankenship, Bailey & Tippens, P.C., serves as Subchapter V
trustee.
Judge Janice D Loyd oversees the case.

About Odyssey Marine
Odyssey Marine Exploration, Inc. and its subsidiaries are engaged
in deep-ocean exploration. Their innovative techniques are
currently applied to mineral exploration and other marine survey
and contracted services. The corporate headquarters are in Tampa,
Florida.
Tampa, Florida-based Grant Thornton LLP, the Company's auditor
since 2023, issued a "going concern" qualification in its report
dated March 31, 2026, attached to the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, citing that the
Company incurred a net loss of $48.5 million during the year ended
December 31, 2025, and as of that date, the Company's current
liabilities exceeded its current assets by $7.3 million, and its
total liabilities exceeded its total assets by $75.5 million. These
conditions, along with other matters, raise substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $13.4 million in total
assets, $84.2 million in total liabilities, and $70.8 million in
total stockholders' deficit.
ODYSSEY MARINE: Swings to Profit in Q1 2026; Going Concern Remains
------------------------------------------------------------------
Odyssey Marine Exploration, Inc. has filed its Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission,
reporting a net income of $177,876 for the three months ended March
31, 2026, compared to a net loss of $415,654 for the same period in
the prior year. Total revenue for the three months ended March 31,
2026 were $22,500, compared to $135,000 in the prior-year period.
Merger Agreement with American Ocean Minerals
On April 8, 2026, Odyssey, an Odyssey subsidiary, and American
Ocean Minerals Corporation, entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into AOM,
with AOM surviving the proposed merger and becoming a direct,
wholly owned subsidiary of Odyssey. The proposed merger is expected
to be completed in the late second to early third quarter of 2026,
subject to Odyssey stockholders' approval.
The Merger values the combined company at approximately $1 billion
and includes a private placement of over $150 million from
prominent institutional and strategic investors, as well as a $75
million pre-public financing completed in February 2026 by AOM.
Going Concern Consideration
The Company has experienced several years of net losses and may
continue to do so. The Company's ability to generate net income or
positive cash flows for the next twelve months is dependent upon
financings, its success in developing and monetizing its interests
in mineral exploration entities, and generating income from
contracted services and exploration charters.
The Company's 2026-2027 business plan requires it to generate new
cash inflows to effectively allow it to perform its planned
projects. The Company continually plans to generate new cash
inflows through the monetization of its equity stakes in seabed
mineral companies, financings, syndications or other partnership
opportunities. If cash inflow ever becomes insufficient to meet its
projected business plan requirements, the Company would be required
to follow a contingency business plan based on curtailed expenses
and fewer cash requirements.
The Company's consolidated non-restricted cash balance at March 31,
2026 was $2.1 million. The Company has a working capital deficit at
March 31, 2026 of $10.6 million. The total consolidated book value
of the Company's assets was approximately $13.4 million at March
31, 2026, which includes cash of $2.1 million.
These factors raise doubt about the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern. Although the Company expects that the
Transaction is likely to alleviate its going concern qualification,
because consummation of the Transaction is subject to stockholder
approval, and is outside management's control, the substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern
has not been alleviated.

OMNICARE LLC: Plan Exclusivity Period Extended to July 20
---------------------------------------------------------
Judge Stacey G. Jernigan of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of Texas extended Omnicare, LLC and affiliates'
exclusive periods to file a plan of reorganization and obtain
acceptance thereof to July 20 and Sept. 17, 2026, respectively.
As shared by Troubled Company Reporter, the Debtors explain that
the Chapter 11 Cases are sufficiently large and complex to warrant
the requested exclusivity extension. There are 110 Debtors in the
Chapter 11 Cases, and their footprint includes 101 pharmacies
operating in 44 states and servicing long term care facilities in
46 states. Further, the Chapter 11 Cases meet the requirements for
complex case treatment in the Northern District of Texas. This
factor weighs in favor of extending the Exclusive Periods.
The Debtors claim that even though they have achieved significant
progress in these Chapter 11 Cases over the past seven months
including the crucial step of identifying the Stalking Horse
Bidder, they are not yet in a position to file or solicit votes on
a chapter 11 plan. The extent of sale proceeds available for
distribution to holders of claims filed against the Debtors'
estates will remain unknown for a few more months and will depend
in large part on the sale and the ongoing negotiations relative to
the FCA Appeal.
Further extending the Exclusive Periods will provide the Debtors
with the opportunity to continue facilitating their sale efforts,
negotiating a resolution of the FCA Appeal, and preparing a chapter
11 plan and disclosure statement without the distraction and
additional costs associated with a competing plan.

PARAMOUNT GOLD: Net Loss Widens to $4.9MM in Fiscal Q3
------------------------------------------------------
Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. has filed its Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, reporting a
net loss of $4,903,148 for the three months ended March 31, 2026,
compared to a net loss of $2,618,307 for the same period in the
prior year. For the nine-month period ended March 31, 2026, the
Company reported a net loss of $13,654,423, compared to a net loss
of $6,221,934 in the corresponding prior-year period. The Company
has not generated any revenues or cash flows from operations to
date.
The Company is subject to all the risks associated with development
stage companies. Since inception, the Company has incurred losses
and negative cash flows from operating activities which have been
funded from the issuance of common stock, prefunded warrants,
convertible notes, note payable and the sale of royalties on its
mineral properties. The Company does not expect to generate
positive cash flows from operating activities in the near future,
if at all, until such time it successfully initiates production at
its Grassy Mountain Project, including obtaining construction
financing, completing the construction of the proposed mine and
anticipates incurring operating losses for the foreseeable future.
Paramount expects to continue to incur losses as a result of costs
and expenses related to maintaining its properties and general and
administrative expenses. Since 2015, the Company has relied on
equity financings, debt financings and sale of royalties to fund
its operations and the Company expects to rely on these forms of
financing to fund operations into the near future.
Paramount's current business plan requires working capital to fund
non-discretionary expenditures for its exploration and development
activities on its mineral properties, mineral property holding
costs and general and administrative expenses.
Subsequent to May 12, 2026, the Company expects to fund operations
as follows: existing cash on hand and working capital; the existing
ATM with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and A.G.P./Alliance Global
Partners; insurance proceeds to fund reclamation and environmental
obligations at its Sleeper Gold Project; and equity financings and
sale of royalties.
At March 31, 2026, the Company's cash balance was $12,701,492.
Historically, the Company has been successful in accessing capital
through equity and debt financing arrangements or by the sale of
royalties on its mineral properties, no assurance can be given that
additional financing will be available to it in amounts sufficient
to meet its needs, or on terms acceptable to the Company. In the
event that the Company is unable to obtain additional capital or
financing, its operations, exploration and development activities
would be adversely affected and it may not be able to maintain its
mining claims and its commitments to purchase other mining
properties. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is
dependent on having sufficient capital to maintain its operations.
In considering its financing plans and its current working capital
position the Company believes there is substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern within the next 12 months.

PEDIATRIC ASSOCIATES: Moody's Rates New First Lien Term Loan 'B2'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Ratings assigned a B2 rating to the proposed senior secured
first lien term loan of Pediatric Associates Holding Company, LLC's
(Pediatric Associates). Moody's also affirmed the existing ratings
of Pediatric Associates including the B2 Corporate Family Rating,
B2-PD Probability of Default Rating, and B2 ratings on the first
lien senior secured bank credit facilities. The outlook is stable.
Pediatric Associates will use the net proceeds from $790 million
senior secured first lien term loan due in December 2031, together
with new sponsor equity proceeds, to repay existing senior secured
term loans and to pay fees and expenses related to the
transaction.
RATINGS RATIONALE
The B2 CFR reflects the company's moderately high financial
leverage, with Moody's-adjusted debt/EBITDA of approximately 5.5x
on a pro forma basis as of December 31, 2025. The rating is
constrained by the company's significant exposure to Medicaid, as
the vast majority of Pediatric Associates' value-based care (VBC)
revenue is derived from managed Medicaid contracts, as well as its
modest scale and high geographic concentration in Florida and
Texas. Additionally, the company's VBC segment introduces execution
risk, as Pediatric Associates must effectively manage this model to
sustain stable profitability.
Pediatric Associates' ratings benefit from its solid market
position in the highly fragmented pediatric care sector, which
offers favorable long-term growth prospects and good profitability.
While the company's VBC model introduces certain risks, it also
supports stronger profitability and earnings stability through
capitated and shared risk revenue arrangements. In addition,
pediatric value-based care is inherently more stable than adult VBC
models, reflecting lower patient acuity, more predictable
utilization, and reduced cost volatility.
Moody's expects Pediatric Associates to maintain good liquidity
over the next 12-18 months, with positive free cash flow and no
near-term debt maturities. Liquidity is supported by the undrawn
$100 million revolving credit facility and $32 million of cash pro
forma the transaction. Moody's forecasts that Pediatric Associates
will generate around $10 to $20 million of free cash flow annually.
The $100 million revolving credit facility has a springing First
Lien Net Leverage Covenant of 7.0x when 35% drawn. Moody's do not
expect Pediatric Associates to rely on the revolving credit
facility, but anticipates that it would maintain adequate cushions
if used. Alternative sources of liquidity are limited as
substantially all assets are pledged. There is no financial
covenant on the term loans.
The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectations that Pediatric
Associates' earnings growth will support modest leverage reduction
and that the company will maintain good liquidity.
FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS
The ratings could be upgraded if Pediatric Associates demonstrates
a track record of positive free cash flow and effectively manages
its growth with prudent financial policies. Increased scale and
diversification would also support an upgrade. Further, the ratings
could be upgraded if adjusted debt to EBITDA is sustained below 4.0
times.
The ratings could be downgraded if Pediatric Associates' strategy
fails to produce profitable revenue growth or leads to operating
disruption. If the company engages in large debt financed
acquisition or dividends, or if liquidity weakens, it could lead to
a downgrade. Additionally, the ratings could be downgraded if
Moody's expects debt/EBITDA to be sustained above 5.5 times.
Pediatric Associates Holding Company, LLC ("Pediatrics Associates")
is the largest pediatric practice management company in the highly
fragmented US pediatric market. The company employs approximately
1,080 clinicians seeing over 4.6 million annual visits across seven
states (307 locations). Pediatric Associates offers primary and
specialty care, laboratory, diagnostic and care management
services, as well as 24/7 telehealth access. Pediatric Associates
had revenues of $799 million in 2025 or $852 million pro forma
Tribeca, an unconsolidated subsidiary it owns 45% of. Pediatric
Associates is owned by Summit Partners and TPG Capital.
The principal methodology used in these ratings was Business and
Consumer Services published in February 2026.
The net effect of any adjustments applied to rating factor scores
or scorecard outputs under the primary methodology(ies), if any,
was not material to the ratings addressed in this announcement.

PLATES RESTAURANT: Gets Interim OK to Use Cash Collateral
---------------------------------------------------------
The Plates Restaurant, LLC received interim approval from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta
Division, to use cash collateral to fund operations.
Under the interim order, the Debtor is authorized to use cash
collateral in accordance with its budget from May 11 until the June
10 final hearing, unless the court extends the period.
The Debtor's cash collateral consists of revenue from business
operations in which lenders may claim security interests including
the U.S. Small Business Administration, Grasshopper Bank, and
merchant cash advance lenders OnDeck Capital, LLC and Rewards
Network Establishment, Inc.
The SBA likely holds the senior lien position based on a UCC filing
dating back to 2020, followed by Grasshopper Bank and then the MCA
lenders.
To protect lenders during the Debtor's use of cash collateral, they
will receive perfected replacement liens on post-petition assets
similar to their pre-petition collateral, excluding proceeds from
Chapter 5 avoidance actions.
The order is available at
http://bankrupt.com/misc/PlatesRestaurant_ICCOrder.pdf
Plates Restaurant originally operated an Italian restaurant called
Piastra in Marietta, Georgia, for more than a decade before owners
Greg Lipman and Betty Bahl decided to transition to a new upscale
grocery, farm-to-table restaurant, and catering concept known as
Asher & Rose Grocer. The business reopened in January 2026 after a
costly renovation and buildout that significantly exceeded budget
projections. Although the launch generated substantial publicity,
including local magazine features and Fox News coverage, actual
sales failed to meet expectations. To address mounting operational
costs, the business relied heavily on merchant cash advance loans,
whose aggressive repayment obligations worsened cash flow problems
and left the Debtor unable to meet ordinary operating expenses.

PLATINUM EXPRESS: Gets Interim OK to Use Cash Collateral
--------------------------------------------------------
Platinum Express, Inc. received interim approval from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Ohio, Western
Division, to use cash collateral.
Under the interim order, the Debtor is authorized to use cash
collateral pursuant to its latest budget covering a 12-week period
from May 10 through Aug. 1.
The Debtor may operate using cash collateral through the final
hearing but weekly spending must not exceed projections by more
than 15% without Apex Capital Corp.'s consent or court approval.
Unused amounts may carry forward and any budget changes require
lender or court approval.
Apex is the Debtor's primary secured lender with a valid
first-priority lien on the Debtor's cash collateral through a
long-standing factoring agreement.
As protection, Apex and other creditors such as merchant cash
advance lenders claiming valid security interests will receive
replacement liens on post-petition assets similar to their
pre-petition collateral.
As additional protection, the court ordered to limit the use of
cash collateral to authorized budget expenditures and required that
any payments made to creditors with interests in cash collateral
remain subject to disgorgement if such creditors are later
determined not to possess valid rights in the collateral.

A final hearing is scheduled for June 16, with objections due by
June 9.

US$81.8 million at March 31, 2026. The stockholder's deficit was
US$92.4 million at Dec. 31, 2025.
At March 31, 2026, the Company had total assets of US$2.5 billion

consisting of $1.02 billion under its 2024 Credit Agreement term
facility and $0.04 billion under a Residual Finance Credit
Facility, offset by $15.6 million of unamortized discounts and
issuance costs. The Company noted that "minimum amortization of the
2024 Credit Agreement's term facility are equal quarterly

the three months ended March 31, 2026, decreased by $2.2 million,
or (9.3%), from $23.2 million for the three months ended March 31,

outstanding balances of the 2024 Credit Agreement and the Residual
Finance credit facility established during the quarter ended Sept.
30, 2025.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $11.4 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $9.7 million of cash

31, 2025, net cash used in investing activities included additions
to property, equipment and software of $5.1 million, $0.1 million
related to net funding of new loans to ISOs and $4.5 million

PUERTO RICO: Mujica Says PREPA Bankruptcy Unlikely to End in 2026
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Robert Mujica said the bankruptcy case involving Puerto Rico
Electric Power Authority is unlikely to conclude in 2026 as
mediation efforts remain stalled by disputes with bondholders
seeking full recovery on their investments. The official said both
litigation and settlement discussions remain active, but legal
proceedings could drag the case out further, reports The San Juan
Star.
According to Mujica, mediation offers the quickest route to
resolving PREPA’s debt restructuring if creditors and the
oversight board can agree on acceptable repayment terms. However,
he warned that continued litigation introduces significant
uncertainty and could extend the process for months beyond current
expectations. The oversight board continues evaluating risks tied
to potential court outcomes while balancing what PREPA can
realistically afford.
The comments came after Magistrate Judge Judith Gail Dein issued a
partial ruling on renewed discovery requests from PREPA
bondholders. The judge allowed some requests for documents and
testimony while rejecting others tied to historical financial
reports and bond disclosures from 2012 and 2013. She also approved
a limited interrogatory concerning differences between PREPA
revenue calculations and oversight board accounting methods.
The court additionally directed the oversight board to turn over
records concerning PREPA's federal funding requests and use of
relief money before operations shifted to LUMA Energy and Genera
PR. Discovery deadlines now extend into the fall, with summary
judgment briefing scheduled through November and oral arguments
expected at a later omnibus hearing, the report relays.
About Puerto Rico

PURDUE PHARMA: Court Permits Late Claims Advance in Chapter 11 Case
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Clara Geoghegan of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that a New
York bankruptcy court has permitted 13 late-filed claims in the
Chapter 11 proceedings of Purdue Pharma, ruling that they may
proceed even after the company’s restructuring plan took effect.
The judge’s decision provides claimants another opportunity to
seek recovery under the confirmed plan.
According to the ruling, the court determined that the late claims
could be considered without undermining the finality of the
confirmed bankruptcy plan. The decision reflects the court’s
effort to maintain fairness in claims resolution while preserving
the integrity of the restructuring process.
The case remains one of the most closely watched bankruptcy
proceedings in the country, with ongoing disputes over claims
administration and creditor treatment. The latest ruling ensures
additional claims will be reviewed within the established
post-confirmation framework, the report relays.
About Purdue Pharma LP
Purdue Pharma L.P. and its subsidiaries --
http://www.purduepharma.com/-- develop and provide prescription
medicines and consumer products that meet the evolving needs of
healthcare professionals, patients, consumers and caregivers.
Purdue's subsidiaries include Adlon Therapeutics L.P., focused on
treatment for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and
related disorders; Avrio Health L.P., a consumer health products
company that champions an improved quality of life for people in
the United States through the re-imagining of innovative product
solutions; Imbrium Therapeutics L.P., established to further
advance the emerging portfolio and develop the pipeline in the
areas of CNS, non-opioid pain medicines, and select oncology
through internal research, strategic collaborations and
partnerships; and Greenfield Bioventures L.P., an investment
vehicle focused on value-inflection in early stages of clinical
development.
Opioid makers in the U.S. are facing pressure from a crackdown on
the addictive drug in the wake of the opioid crisis and as state
attorneys general file lawsuits against manufacturers. More than
2,000 states, counties, municipalities and Native American
governments have sued Purdue Pharma and other pharmaceutical
companies for their role in the opioid crisis in the U.S., which
has contributed to the more than 700,000 drug overdose deaths in
the U.S. since 1999.
OxyContin, Purdue Pharma's most prominent pain medication, has been
the target of over 2,600 civil actions pending in various state and
federal courts and other fora across the United States and its
territories.
On Sept. 15 and 16, 2019, Purdue Pharma L.P. and 23 affiliated
debtors each filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11
of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Lead Case No. 19
23649), after reaching terms of a preliminary agreement for
settling the massive opioid litigation. The Debtors' consolidated
balance sheet as of Aug. 31, 2019, showed $1.972 billion in assets
and $562 million in liabilities. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Robert Drain
oversees the cases.
The Debtors tapped Davis Polk & Wardwell, LLP and Dechert, LLP, as
legal counsels; PJT Partners as investment banker; AlixPartners as
financial advisor; and Grant Thornton, LLP as tax structuring
consultant. Prime Clerk, LLC, is the claims agent.
Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP and Bayard, P.A., represent the
official committee of unsecured creditors appointed in the Debtors'
bankruptcy cases.
David M. Klauder, Esq., is the fee examiner appointed in the
Debtors' cases. The fee examiner is represented by Bielli &
Klauder, LLC.
* * *
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Robert Drain in early September 2021 approved
a plan to turn Purdue into a new company (Knoa Pharma LLC) no
longer owned by members of the Sackler family, with its profits
going to fight the opioid epidemic. The Sackler family agreed to
pay $4.3 billion over nine years to the states and private
plaintiffs and in exchange for a lifetime legal immunity. The deal
resolves some 3,000 lawsuits filed by state and local governments,
Native American tribes, unions, hospitals, and others who claimed
the company's marketing of prescription opioids helped spark and
continue an overdose epidemic.
Separate appeals to approval of the Plan have already been filed by
the U.S. Bankruptcy Trustee, California, Connecticut, the District
of Columbia, Maryland, Rhode Island and Washington state, plus some
Canadian local governments and other Canadian entities.
In early March 2022, Purdue Pharma reached a nationwide settlement
over its role in the opioid crisis, with the Sackler family members
boosting their cash contribution to as much as $6 billion. The
settlement was hammered out with attorneys general from the eight
states -- California, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Oregon,
Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington -- and D.C. who had opposed
the previous settlement.

QVC GROUP: U.S. Trustee Says Ch. 11 Releases Violate Law
--------------------------------------------------------
Emlyn Cameron of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that QVC is
facing pushback from the U.S. Trustee's Office, which has asked a
Texas bankruptcy judge to block approval of its Chapter 11 plan.
The Trustee argued that the plan uses an improper mechanism to
secure creditor approval for releases included in the
restructuring.
Court papers state that the Trustee believes QVC's plan conditions
creditor acceptance on participation in third-party releases, a
structure the office contends is inconsistent with bankruptcy
requirements. The filing argues that this method undermines the
fairness of the voting process.
The objection adds uncertainty to QVC's efforts to confirm its
reorganization plan, as the court must now determine whether the
release provisions comply with bankruptcy law. The outcome could
affect how creditor consent is evaluated in the case, the report
states.

R.R. DONNELLEY: Moody's Affirms B3 CFR, Rates New Unsec. Notes Caa2
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Moody's Ratings has affirmed R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company's (RRD)
corporate family rating at B3 and probability of default rating at
B3-PD. At the same time, Moody's assigned a Caa2 rating to its
proposed US$750 million senior unsecured notes and downgraded its
existing senior unsecured notes to Caa2 from Caa1, while affirming
RRD's senior secured debt and junior lien senior secured debt at B1
and Caa1 respectively. The outlook remains stable.
The company plans to issue a new 5-year US$750 million Senior
Unsecured Notes, with the net proceeds used to fully redeem the
existing RRD Intermediate Holdings PIK toggle notes, prepay a
portion of the RRD term loan, partially redeem the RRD Parent PIK
notes, and pay accumulated dividends on the parent perpetual
preferred stock. Separately, the company also plans to exchange a
portion of the RRD Parent PIK notes to the parent perpetual
preferred stock. The transaction (inclusive of the PIK exchange)
will reduce Moody's expectations of RRD's consolidated leverage to
PF 6.1x from 6.5x as of LTM Q1/26, inclusive of the Holdco
Payment-In-Kind (PIK) notes and the Intermediate Toggle PIK Notes.
"The transaction improves RRD's all-inclusive financial leverage
(PF debt/EBITDA on Moody's-adjusted basis) to 6.1x from 6.5x prior
to the transaction. However, leverage at the RRD level (excluding
PIK) will increase by almost a turn to 5.3x and remain above the
5.0x upgrade trigger in Moody's forward view." said Will Gu, a
Moody's Ratings analyst.
The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectations that RRD will
maintain good liquidity with debt/EBITDA above 5x in the next 12-18
months. The outlook also reflects RRD's solid scale and ongoing
transition toward higher-margin packaging, labels, supply chain,
and digital service solutions through acquisitions, sustaining
EBITDA level and supporting stable cash flows despite secular
declines in commercial printing.
RATINGS RATIONALE
R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company's CFR benefits from: (1) good
position in the commercial printing market with large scale and
client diversity; (2) growth in digital marketing and packaging
offsetting declining commercial print mitigating the pressure on
EBITDA; and (3) good liquidity, including its ability to generate
free cash flow despite demand pressures.
However, the rating is constrained by: (1) aggressive financial
policies by RRD's private owners, investment funds managed by
Chatham Asset Management, LLC; (2) high adjusted Debt/EBITDA above
6.0x (inclusive of all PIK Debt); (3) exposure to the secular
decline in commercial printing due to digital substitution
pressuring its revenue and profitability; and (4) execution risks
as it transforms itself from a commercial printer focused on
manuals, publications, and brochures to innovative businesses such
as packaging, labels, direct marketing and digital offerings.
RRD has good liquidity. Pro forma for the transaction, sources
total over $1 billion, consisting of cash balance around $300
million as of March 2026, Moody's expectations of approximately $60
million free cash flow through Jun 2027, and $650 million
availability under RRD's revolving credit facility. Uses are
limited to about $10 million in mandatory debt amortization. The
revolver has a springing fixed charge covenant of 1.0x. The
springing period is triggered when the remaining borrowing capacity
under the revolver falls below the greater of 10% of the line cap,
or $65 million. Currently, the company's FCCR hovers around 1.1x,
leaving a very narrow headroom.
RRD has four classes of debt: (1) the ABL facility expiring April
2030; (2) the senior secured notes due August 2029 and private term
loan B; (3) the junior lien notes; and (4) the senior unsecured
notes and debentures due 2029 through 2031. RRD's ABL facility
benefits from a first priority lien on accounts receivable,
inventory, and equipment and a second priority lien on principal
properties. The senior secured notes are rated B1, two notches
above the CFR, because they benefit from first priority liens on
principal properties and second priority liens on accounts
receivable, inventory, and equipment and are ahead of the junior
lien notes. The junior lien secured notes are rated Caa1, and the
unsecured notes and debentures are rated Caa2 to reflect their
junior ranking to the ABL and secured notes.
FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS
The ratings could be upgraded if the company generates sustainable
positive organic growth in revenue and EBITDA, maintains debt to
EBITDA below 5x (inclusive of all PIK notes), and (EBITDA - CAPEX)
/ Interest Expense is maintained above 1.5x (including PIK
interest).
The ratings could be downgraded if revenue and EBITDA declines that
result in an untenable capital structure or higher refinancing
risk, debt/EBITDA moves toward 7x (including PIK notes),
(EBITDA-Capex)/Interest remains below 1x (including PIK interest),
or weak liquidity, possibly from persistent negative free cash
flow.
The principal methodology used in these ratings was Media published
in September 2025.
The net effect of any adjustments applied to rating factor scores
or scorecard outputs under the primary methodology(ies), if any,
was not material to the ratings addressed in this announcement.
Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company
is the leader in the North American commercial printing industry.
RRD is owned by investment funds managed by Chatham Asset
Management, LLC (Chatham), a private investment firm.
RAIN ENHANCEMENT: Has $1.86M Q1 Loss, Says Liquidity Insufficient
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Rain Enhancement Technologies Holdco, Inc., reported a
first-quarter net loss of $1.86 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2026, widening from a loss of $1.48 million a year
earlier, as the company recorded limited revenue and higher
operating costs.
The Austin, Texas-based company reported total revenue of $10,500
for the three months ended March 31, compared with no revenue a
year earlier. Loss from operations widened to $1.93 million from
$1.35 million. General and administrative expenses were $1.79
million, research and development expenses were $40,729, field
operations costs were $92,878 and depreciation and amortization
totaled $13,270.
Rain Enhancement reported interest expense of $139,459 and a
$205,000 gain from the change in fair value of warrant liabilities.
Basic and diluted net loss per share was 24 cents for both Class A
and Class B common stock.
Net cash used in operating activities was $1.87 million, compared
with $1.01 million a year earlier. As of March 31, the company
reported cash and cash equivalents of $580,642, total assets of
$2.63 million, total liabilities of $16.97 million and total
stockholders' deficit of $14.35 million.
The company had a working capital deficit of about $14.8 million as
of March 31. Management said limited operating history and
continuing operating losses raised substantial doubt about the
company's ability to continue as a going concern, and that it did
not have sufficient liquidity to meet obligations over the next
year without related-party support, additional financing or
commercial opportunities.

expected to continue incurring operating losses and negative cash
flows. The matters raised substantial doubt about the company's
ability to continue as a going concern.
REDDEN-WOOD & ASSOCIATES: Must Face Immediate Capital Case
----------------------------------------------------------
Judge David L. Bissett of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of West Virginia denied Redden-Wood & Associates,
Inc.'s motion to dismiss the adversary proceeding captioned as
IMMEDIATE CAPITAL SOLUTIONS, LLC, Plaintiff, v. REDDEN-WOOD &
ASSOCIATES, INC., Defendant, Adversary No. 26-ap-00013 (Bankr. N.D.
W. Va.)
On April 13, 2026, Redden-Wood & Associates, Inc., ("Defendant")
filed a motion to dismiss seeking dismissal of Immediate Capital
Solutions, LLC's, ("Plaintiff") Complaint for improperly initiating
a separate adversary proceeding to determine dischargeability when
the claim should have been brought as a compulsory counterclaim to
Defendant's previously filed adversary proceeding. On May 4, 2026,
Plaintiff filed an objection.
The Court finds it appropriate to deny the Defendant's motion.
On February 19, 2026, Redden-Wood & Associates, Inc., filed an
adversary proceeding against Immediate Capital Solutions, LLC, at
Case No. 2:26-ap-00006, (the "Redden-Wood Adversary Proceeding"),
seeking declaration that the parties' agreement is a usurious loan,
lien avoidance, preference recovery, and RICO damages. On April 3,
2026, the Plaintiff initiated its separate adversary proceeding
against Defendant asking the Court to determine its debt
nondischargeable. The Court finds that the Plaintiff's Complaint is
not a compulsory counterclaim that should have been asserted in the
Redden-Wood Adversary Proceeding.
Judge Bissett explains, "Here, the exception to discharge for fraud
under 523(a)(2) is a distinct bankruptcy action compared to the
claims asserted in the Redden-Wood Adversary Proceeding. A
determination of nondischargeability requires the Court to
adjudicate separate federal bankruptcy issues, including the
existence of fraudulent representations, knowledge of false
representation, intent to deceive, justifiable reliance, and
proximate cause of damages. Whereas, the issues of validity,
priority, and extent of liens, avoidance actions, preference
actions, declaratory judgment requests for recharacterization and
void determinations, and RICO violations, are all entirely separate
issues related to the context of the commercial transaction. The
issues of law and fact are not largely the same nor would
substantially the same evidence necessarily support resolution of
both proceedings."
Accordingly, the Court concludes that the present dischargeability
action under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 523(a)(2) brought forth in the subject
complaint is not a compulsory counterclaim required to be asserted
in the Redden-Wood Adversary Proceeding.

REKOR SYSTEMS: Q1 Net Loss Narrows to $9.4MM, Cites Cash Shortfall
------------------------------------------------------------------
Rekor Systems, Inc. has filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, reporting a net
loss of $9,361,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026,
compared to a net loss of $10,874,000 for the same period in the
prior year. Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were
$10,263,000, compared to $9,198,000 in the prior-year period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended
March 31, 2026 decreased by $4,334,000 compared to the three months
ended March 31, 2025. The decrease primarily attributable to a
reduction in the Company's net loss of approximately $1,513,000,
favorable working capital movements driven primarily by changes in
accounts receivable and accounts payable, and lower operating cash
outflows resulting from the wind-down of the Company's Tel Aviv,
Israel operations, which ceased on February 24, 2026.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended
March 31, 2026 increased by $26,000 compared to the three months
ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to higher capital expenditures,
partially offset by higher proceeds from notes receivable.
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities for the three
months ended March 31, 2026 decreased by $7,552,000 compared to the
three months ended March 31, 2025. During the three months ended
March 31, 2025, the Company received net proceeds of approximately
$7,659,000 from the 2025 Sales Agreement, which was terminated in
August 2025. The Company received no proceeds from the 2025 Sales
Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Cash
outflows during the three months ended March 31, 2026 included
scheduled payments related to financing leases.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company
funded its operations primarily through cash from operating
activities and the sale of equity. As of March 31, 2026, the
Company had cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of
$12,599,000 and working capital deficit of $3,727,000, as compared
to cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $16,863,000 and
working capital of $1,640,000 as of December 31, 2025.
Liquidity
Management has assessed going concern uncertainty to determine
whether there is sufficient cash on hand, together with expected
capital raises and working capital, to assure operations for a
period of at 12 months, which is referred to as the "look-forward
period", as defined in U.S. GAAP. As part of this assessment, based
on conditions that are known and reasonably knowable to management,
management has considered various scenarios, forecasts,
projections, and estimates and will make certain key assumptions.
These assumptions include, among other factors, its ability to
raise additional capital, the expected timing and nature of the
Company's programs and projected cash expenditures and its ability
to delay or curtail these programs or expenditures to the extent
management has the proper authority to do so and considers it
probable that those implementations can be achieved within the
look-forward period.
The Company has generated losses since its inception and has relied
on cash on hand and external sources of financing to support cash
flow from operations. The Company attributes losses to non-capital
expenditures related to the scaling of existing products,
development of new products and service offerings and marketing
efforts associated with these products and services. As of and for
the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company had working
capital deficit of $3,727,000 and a net loss of $9,361,000.
The Company's cash, cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash
decreased by $4,264,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026
primarily due to the net loss of $9,361,000, this amount was
partially offset by non-cash expenses which are highlighted in the
Company's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and
favorable working capital movements.
In February 2025, the Company entered into an At Market Issuance
Sales Agreement with Northland Securities, Inc. for the offer and
sale of shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering
price of up to $25,000,000. The 2025 Sales Agreement was terminated
on August 12, 2025. The Company did not receive any proceeds from
the 2025 Sales Agreement during the three months ended March 31,
2026, and the agreement is no longer available as a financing
source.
In January 2026, the Company entered into an amendment to the lease
for its corporate headquarters in Columbia, Maryland that revised
the timing of monthly base rent payments through the remaining
lease term. The amendment defers a portion of the base rent
payments otherwise due during 2026 into 2027, reducing the
Company's near-term cash payment obligations. Total contractual
lease payments under the lease were not significantly changed by
the amendment. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the
Company exercised its option to terminate its lease for office
space in Plano, Texas, effective December 31, 2026. In connection
with the termination, the Company expects to pay a termination fee
of approximately $50,000 in 2026, in addition to monthly rent
payments through the December 31, 2026 effective date.
Based on the Company's current business plan assumptions and the
expected cash burn rate, the Company believes that the existing
cash is insufficient to fund its current level of operations. These
factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern for the next 12 months following the
issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary
should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company's ability to generate positive operating results and
execute its business strategy will depend on:
(i) its ability to continue the growth of its customer base
(ii) its ability to continue to improve its quarterly financial
metrics such as net loss and cash used from operating activities
(iii) the continued performance of its contractors,
subcontractors and vendors
(iv) its ability to maintain and build good relationships with
investors, lenders and other financial intermediaries,
(v) its ability to maintain timely collections from existing
customers, and
(vi) the ability to scale its business processes.
To the extent that events outside of the Company's control have a
significant negative impact on economic and/or market conditions,
they could affect payments from customers, services and supplies
from vendors, its ability to continue to secure and implement new
business, raise capital, and otherwise, depending on the severity
of such impact, materially adversely affect its operating results.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company did not have any material
commitments for capital expenditures.

RELIZ LTD: Says Chapter 11 Examiner Not Needed
----------------------------------------------
Emily Lever of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that BlockFills
has asked a Delaware bankruptcy court to deny motions seeking the
appointment of an examiner and Chapter 11 trustee, saying the
private equity firm behind the request failed to justify such
action. The company argued that its restructuring efforts are
proceeding appropriately under existing leadership.
In filings before the court, BlockFills stated that imposing a
trustee or examiner would unnecessarily increase administrative
expenses and potentially disrupt ongoing restructuring
negotiations. The company further maintained that there has been no
showing of misconduct serious enough to warrant removing current
management.
The disagreement highlights broader disputes between the debtor and
certain investors over governance and oversight during the
bankruptcy process. The court's decision could shape how much
control management retains as the Chapter 11 case progresses, the
report states.

REUP GALAXY: Creditors to Get Proceeds From Liquidation
-------------------------------------------------------
ReUp Galaxy Holdings LLC and its affiliates filed with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas a Disclosure
Statement describing Plan of Liquidation dated May 11, 2026.
Debtor ReUp Technologies, Inc. was formed as a Delaware corporation
to serve as a holding company for various entities, all of which
are currently insolvent.
The two subsidiaries of ReUp Technologies with remaining assets are
Debtor ReUp Galaxy Holdings, LLC and Debtor ReUp Ops, LLC. ReUp
Galaxy Holdings was formed to franchise the business and entered
into various related franchise agreements, area representative
agreements, and related agreements with third parties. ReUp Ops was
formed to handle administrative matters for all of the ReUp Living
companies.
The Debtors' business operations have faced many challenges
adversely affecting their profitability. The dramatic slowdown in
the real estate market has caused homes improved using ReUp
resources to take longer to sell (increasing borrowing costs) and
to sell at lower prices (further reducing potential profitability).
The Debtors intend to try to sell many of their assets,
particularly certain option agreements, through an auction process.
They estimate that sale of option agreements and/or negotiation of
termination agreements with property owners might generate around
proceeds of $150,000. The Debtors does not yet have sufficient
information to assess the amount of net proceeds that might be
generated from sales, prosecutions, or settlements of various
potential causes of action against contract counterparties as a
result of conduct that the Debtors estimate to have caused them
damages in a total amount in excess of $2 million.
The Debtors propose through their plan to task their CRO with
liquidating their remaining assets for the benefit of creditors.
Current and former insiders and employees of the Debtors have
expressed a willingness to support the CRO's efforts to investigate
the Debtors' contract rights and claims, commence litigation
reasonably determined by the CRO as likely to be cost effective, to
explore options for selling assets, to otherwise liquidate assets,
to pursue potential challenges to the bases, amounts, and/or
classifications of questionable creditor claims, and to distribute
asset proceeds to holders of valid claims.
Class 4 Allowed General Unsecured Claims Against ReUp Galaxy
Holdings. Each holder of such a claim shall receive, on the
applicable Distribution Date, pro rata share with other claims in
this class, of the Distributable Cash remaining after ReUp Galaxy
Holdings Classes 1, 2, and 3 have been paid in full in accordance
with the treatment provided in the Plan to such Classes. Such class
is impaired.
Class 2 Allowed General Unsecured Claims Against ReUp Technologies.
Each holder of such a claim shall receive, on the applicable
Distribution Date, pro rata share with other claims in this class,
of the Distributable Cash remaining after ReUp Technologies Class 1
has been paid in full in accordance with the treatment provided in
the Plan to such Class. Such class is impaired.
Class 2 Allowed General Unsecured Claims Against ReUp Ops. Each
holder of such a claim shall receive, on the applicable
Distribution Date, pro rata share with other claims in this class,
of the Distributable Cash remaining after ReUp Ops Class 1 has been
paid in full in accordance with the treatment provided in the Plan
to such Class. Such class is impaired.
In general, the plan assumes that the Debtors will continue to be
treated as having separate bankruptcy estates and provides for
available assets of each Debtor to be distributed in the following
manner and order to holders of claims and interests with respect to
such Debtor: (a) first, the holder of each valid claim against a
Debtor that is secured by a lien against a particular asset of that
Debtor will be entitled to receive such asset or its proceeds; (b)
second, approved administrative expenses of the Debtor's bankruptcy
estate will be paid; (c) third, the holder of a valid claims
against the Debtor that are entitled to priority treatment under
the Bankruptcy Code such as the holders of certain types of tax
claims, will receive pro rata distributions until their claims are
satisfied; (d) fourth, the holders of valid general unsecured
claims will receive pro rata distributions until their claims are
satisfied; and (e) any assets of a Debtor's bankruptcy estate
remaining after all valid claims against that Debtor have been
satisfied will be distributed to the owners of that Debtor.
The feasibility of the Plan depends on the Debtors' ability to
execute their plan to liquidate their assets and distribute
proceeds to the holders of allowed claims. The Debtors believe that
the proposed Chapter 11 liquidation of their assets will yield
sufficient resources from which the Debtors can fund an orderly
liquidation of assets that maximizes potential distributions to
creditors. If the Debtors are not successful, they might seek to
convert their cases to Chapter 7 liquidations.

RINGCENTRAL INC: Debts Exceed Assets by $609.3M at March 31
-----------------------------------------------------------
RingCentral, Inc.'s stockholder's deficit was US$609.3 million at
March 31, 2026. The stockholder's deficit was US$588.1 million at
Dec. 31, 2025.
At March 31, 2026, the Company had total assets of US$1.42 billion
and total liabilities of US$1.83 billion. At Dec. 31, 2025, the
Company had total assets of US$1.48 billion and total liabilities
of US$1.87 billion.
As of March 31, 2026, the carrying amount of the Company's term
loan (the "Term Loan") was $890.7 million. As there are no embedded
features or other variable features, the fair value of the Term
Loan approximated its carrying value.
As of March 31, 2026, the fair value of the 8.50% senior notes due
2030 (the "2030 Senior Notes") was approximately $340.1 million.
The fair value for the 2030 Senior Notes was determined based on
the quoted price for such notes in an inactive market on the last
trading day of the reporting period and is considered as Level 2 in
the fair value hierarchy.
The Company said: "We finance our operations primarily through
sales to our customers, which could be billed either monthly or
annually one year in advance. For customers with annual or
multi-year contracts and those who opt for annual invoicing, we
generally invoice only one annual period in advance and revenue is
deferred for such advanced billings. As of March 31, 2026, and
December 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $116.6
million and $132.6 million, respectively. These amounts include
restricted cash of $8.4 million and $8.4 million, respectively,
held as a bank deposit for issuance of a foreign bank guarantee. As
of March 31, 2026, we have access to additional liquidity of $50.0
million available under our delayed draw-down Term Loan and $305.0
million available under our Revolving Credit Facility."
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash provided by
operating activities was $164.0 million. During the three months
ended March 31, 2026, the Company generated $140.6 million of free
cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net cash
provided by operating activities less capital expenditures (see
below for a reconciliation to GAAP). The Company says its "capital
allocation strategy includes reducing debt, returning capital to
shareholders through share repurchases and dividend. For the three
months ended March 31, 2026, we repurchased 2.6 million common
shares for $81.3 million, repaid $45.6 million of long-term debt,
used $7.9 million of cash for business combinations and used $6.4
million to pay first-ever quarterly cash dividend of $0.075 per
share of our outstanding capital stock."
The Company said: "During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we
reduced our outstanding debt by $45.6 million by repaying in full
the remaining $609.1 million outstanding principal of our 2026
Convertible Notes using $600.0 million of proceeds from borrowings
under our Term Loan, and cash on hand equal to $9.1 million.
Further, we made payments aggregating to $11.6 million as part of
our regular scheduled quarterly principal repayment obligations
under the Credit Agreement."
"As a result, as of March 31, 2026, the total outstanding Term Loan
balance was $890.7 million and the Revolving Credit Facility
balance was zero. We also repurchased $25.0 million of principal of
2030 Senior Notes. As a result, as of March 31, 2026, the total
outstanding principal of the 2030 Senior Notes was $325.0 million.
Subsequent to March 31, 2026, we repurchased an additional $75.0
million of principal on our 2030 Senior Notes, using our cash on
hand."
"Under our share repurchase programs, share repurchases may be made
at our discretion from time to time in open market transactions,
privately negotiated transactions, or other means. The programs do
not obligate us to repurchase any specific dollar amount or to
acquire any specific number of shares of our Class A Common Stock.
The timing and number of any shares repurchased under the programs
will depend on a variety of factors, including stock price, trading
volume, and general business and market conditions. During the
three months ended March 31, 2026, we repurchased and settled
approximately 2.6 million shares of our Class A Common Stock, by
paying an aggregate amount of approximately $81.3 million under the
plans previously authorized by our board of directors. The
authorization under these programs do not expire. As of March 31,
2026, approximately $417.9 million remained authorized and
available under our share repurchase programs for future share
repurchases."
From a going concern and solvency perspective, management projects
at least 12 months of coverage, but candidly concedes longer-term
refinancing and repayment risk. The Company said: "We may require
additional capital or need to restructure our existing debt to
pursue our business objectives and to respond to business
opportunities, challenges or unforeseen circumstances. If capital
is not available to us, our business, results of operations, and
financial condition may be adversely affected." The Company further
cautions that volatility in credit markets, restrictive covenants,
and potential inability to refinance the Term Loan or 2030 Senior
Notes on acceptable terms could impair its capacity to meet future
obligations, underscoring that continued strong cash generation and
access to capital markets are critical financial lifelines.

ROBERT M. KOFFLER: Creditors Win Bid to Dismiss Bankruptcy Case
---------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Joseph G. Rosania, Jr. of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Colorado granted the motion filed 530 Mashta, LLC and
Tri-Cap Holdings, LLC (the "Judgment Creditors") to dismiss the
bankruptcy case of Robert M. Koffler pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Sec.
1112(b)(1).
The Debtor resides in a luxury home in Snowmass, Colorado located
at 115 Blue Spruce Lane (the "BSL Property"). Title to the property
is held by 115 Blue Spruce Lane, LLC. The Debtor claims an interest
in 115 Blue Spruce Lane, LLC and, through it, an interest in the
BSL Property. 115 Blue Spruce Lane, LLC, 530 Mashta, LLC and Dinamo
Driftwood, LLC ("Dinamo"), dispute that the Debtor owns any
interest in 115 Blue Spruce Lane, LLC and/or the BSL Property.
Litigation concerning ownership and control of 115 Blue Spruce
Lane, LLC and the BSL Property has been pending in the Pitkin
County District Court (the "Pitkin County Litigation") since July
29, 2024, when 115 Blue Spruce Lane, LLC, Dinamo and 530
Mashta, LLC initiated an action to evict the Debtor from the BSL
Property. They sued because the Debtor had been living in the BSL
Property since 2024, without paying the mortgage or related
expenses for the BSL Property, totaling over $32,000 per month.
The largest scheduled claims arise from the Florida litigation,
including claims of approximately $9.6 million held by 530 Mashta,
LLC and approximately $7.5 million held by Tri-Cap Holdings, LLC.
The Debtor proposes to fund his plan of reorganization, in part, by
successfully pursuing certain litigation on behalf of
BiscayneAmericas Advisors, LLC ("BAA") against BA Tech Partners GP,
LLC ("BA Tech") (jointly "the BAA/BA Tech Litigation"). The BAA/BA
Tech Litigation is a partnership dispute. The Debtor's interest in
BAA is held through Maite, LLC, an entity owned and controlled by
the Debtor. A default judgment was previously entered against BA
Tech, which was later vacated, and the action is proceeding on the
merits, scheduled for trial in 2027.
The Debtor filed his initial Chapter 11 plan and disclosure
statement on December 3, 2025, the last day of the exclusivity
period.
The plan identified three primary sources of funding:
(i) income from the Debtor's consulting arrangement with Black
Dove, Inc. ("Black Dove"),
(ii) monetization of a judgment or settlement in the BAA/BA Tech
Litigation pending in the Circuit Court of the Eleventh Circuit in
and for Miami-Dade County, Florida, and
(iii) monetization of approximately $6 million equity in the BSL
Property from continued litigation, including potential appeals,
and ultimately selling the BSL Property.
The amended plan filed on March 10, 2026, makes corrections to the
initial plan, reducing the amount of the net recovery from the
BAA/BA Tech Litigation and revises the financial projections to
include living expenses. It was difficult for the Court to
determine the content of the revisions because the Debtor failed to
file a red-line version highlighting the changes. The Court finds
that, under both plans, the Debtor's plan to pay creditors is
predominantly litigation-contingent rather than income-driven. The
Court further finds that each of the three primary sources of
funding proposed by the Debtor's plan is uncertain and contingent
on future events, including the Debtor's ability to secure
increased compensation, the success of Black Dove, the successful
prosecution and collection of litigation claims, and the outcome of
ongoing litigation concerning ownership and control of the BSL
Property.
The Court concludes that cause exists under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 1112(b)
to dismiss this case, including the Debtor's bad faith and the
absence of a reasonable likelihood of rehabilitation. The bad faith
is shown by forum shopping, delay from the bankruptcy filing,
speculative sources of plan funding, a minimal distribution of 3%
to unsecured creditors and the Debtors' "gaming the system" through
the ngena claim and eve of hearing litigation. The Court does not
believe the Debtor can fulfill his promises in his reorganization
plan. The bankruptcy filing is merely another step in the Debtor's
litigation strategy to avoid paying the Judgment Creditors. The
Court further concludes that the exception set forth in 11 U.S.C.
Sec. 1112(b)(2) does not apply and that dismissal, rather than
conversion, is in the best interests of creditors and the estate.

ROSE MECHANICAL: Gets Interim OK to Use Cash Collateral
-------------------------------------------------------
Rose Mechanical Corp. received interim approval from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York to use cash
collateral.
Under the interim order, the Debtor is authorized to use up to
$780,000 in cash collateral from May 20 through June 12, pursuant
to an approved budget. The Debtor may vary spending by up to 10%
per line item or 5% of the total budget, whichever is greater.
The 13-week operating budget projects $1.69 million in receipts and
approximately $1.43 million in expenses.
The U.S. Small Business Administration and Ponce Bank hold liens on
substantially all of the Debtor's personal property, including
cash, accounts receivable, inventory, equipment, and intangible
assets. The SBA loan originated in 2021 as a $500,000 COVID-19
Economic Injury Disaster Loan, while Ponce Bank issued a $1.65
million loan in 2024 secured by business assets and additional
collateral from the company president's spouse.
Secured lenders will be granted protection through replacement
liens on all post-petition assets, with the same priority and
extent as their pre-petition liens. The replacement liens are
subject to a carveout for fees and recoveries under Chapter 5 of
the Bankruptcy Code and remain effective even if the Debtor's
Chapter 11 case is converted or dismissed or even if a trustee is
appointed.
Events such as case conversion of the case, unauthorized
modifications to the interim order, material defaults, excessive
budget overruns, or inaccurate financial reporting may terminate
the Debtor's authority to use cash collateral.
A final hearing is scheduled for June 11, with objections due by
June 4.

RUNITONETIME LLC: Plan Exclusivity Period Extended to Aug. 10
-------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Alfredo R. Perez of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of Texas extended RunItOneTime LLC and its
affiliates' exclusive periods to file a plan of reorganization and
obtain acceptance thereof to Aug. 10 and Oct. 7, 2026,
respectively.
As shared by Troubled Company Reporter, the Debtors explain that
the application of factors to the facts and circumstances of the
Chapter 11 Cases demonstrates that the requested extension of the
Exclusive Periods is both appropriate and necessary.
First, the size and complexity of the issues attendant to these
cases warrants approval of the requested relief. The Debtors
comprise 68 affiliated entities operating in multiple
jurisdictions, with significant funded indebtedness and a complex
capital structure. The cases have involved numerous first day
motions, employment of a broad slate of professionals, the
administration of assets and claims across a substantial number of
subsidiaries, and contested hearings and litigation on complex
matters, including, as just one example, the contested hearings and
litigation surrounding the approval of the Debtors' post petition
financing on a final basis.
Second, termination of the Exclusive Periods at this juncture would
adversely impact the Debtors' efforts to preserve and maximize the
value of their estates and advance the Chapter 11 Cases. The
Debtors are engaged in a robust sale process of substantially all
of their assets, as approved by the Court and some of these asset
sales have already closed. Granting the requested extensions will
allow the Debtors to focus on finalizing their restructuring
strategy and moving toward plan confirmation without the
distraction, cost, and delay associated with a competing plan
process.
Third, the Debtors obtained critical first day relief, secured
postpetition financing, retained necessary professionals, completed
their schedules and statements, and implemented procedures for
claims and professional compensation. The Debtors have also
advanced their sale and restructuring efforts, demonstrating
significant progress toward a successful reorganization and
satisfaction of the third and fourth factors.

SACRAMENTO CITY UNIFIED SCHOOL: Fights State Receivership Push
--------------------------------------------------------------
Peyton Headlee of KCRA3 reports that Sacramento City Unified works
to avoid state takeover amid $170 million deficit. The financial
condition of Sacramento City Unified School District has
deteriorated to the point where the district may exhaust its cash
reserves by July without borrowing additional money. Officials
warned that even with short-term financing, payroll could
potentially only be maintained until February or March of the
following year, 2027.
In response, the school board is attempting to implement spending
cuts and review district operations, while advisers have urged
leaders to move quickly if they plan to seek state financial
support. Board president Tara Jeane said the district is not
currently pursuing state receivership and instead wants time to
analyze financial data and prioritize spending decisions locally.
Jeane said district officials are focused on protecting essential
educational priorities while reducing other expenses through a
community-led process. She also acknowledged that the district's
budget problems have roots in decisions made nearly a decade ago,
including a labor agreement identified by auditors as financially
unsustainable.
Parents and advocates warned that prolonged financial instability
could lead to staffing reductions and program cuts affecting
students across the district, especially special education
services. If the district later seeks state intervention, it would
need approval before the legislative session concludes in August.
Under state receivership, control of the district would shift to
the county superintendent, and the district superintendent would
lose authority, the report states.
About Sacramento City Unified School District
Sacramento City Unified School District operates as a major public
school system in Northern California, serving a diverse student
population across Sacramento. The district provides comprehensive
educational programming from kindergarten through high school.
SAILORMEN INC: Secures Court OK for Staff Bonuses in Chapter 11
---------------------------------------------------------------
David Minsky of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that a federal
bankruptcy judge in Florida has authorized performance-based
bonuses for certain workers employed by a Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen
franchise operator, concluding the program is important to
maximizing the value of the debtor’s estate during Chapter 11
proceedings.
The franchise operator told the court that retaining experienced
employees is essential to maintaining restaurant operations and
preserving customer relationships while the company restructures.
The proposed bonuses are tied to specific operational and
performance targets intended to support the company's financial
recovery efforts.
In approving the program, the judge determined that the incentives
serve a legitimate business purpose and could ultimately benefit
creditors by sustaining operational performance throughout the
bankruptcy process. The decision clears the way for the company to
implement the retention plan immediately, the report states.
About Sailormen Inc.
Sailormen Inc. is a leading franchisee of Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen
restaurants.
Sailormen Inc. sought relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. S.D. Fla. Case No. 26-10451) on January 15,
2026. In its petition, the Debtor reports estimated assets between
$100 million and $500 million and $342 million in liabilities.
Honorable Bankruptcy Judge Robert A. Mark handles the case.

SAN FRANCISCO ARCHDIOCESE: Court Stays Swiss Re Unit Abuse Suit
---------------------------------------------------------------
Randi Love of Bloomberg Law reports that a California federal court
has ordered an insurance unit tied to Swiss Re AG to pause
litigation seeking to avoid coverage for more than 100 clergy
sexual abuse claims involving the Archdiocese of San Francisco.
The order requires Westport Insurance Corp. to suspend its
declaratory judgment lawsuit while the archdiocese continues
efforts to negotiate and resolve abuse claims in state court. The
judge found that allowing the insurance action to proceed
simultaneously could interfere with the underlying proceedings, the
report states.
The lawsuits against the archdiocese allege church leaders
concealed and enabled sexual abuse by priests and other employees
for years. Survivors contend that the institution ignored reports
of misconduct and failed to protect children from abusive clergy
members.
The dispute underscores the increasingly complex legal battles
surrounding clergy abuse settlements, particularly conflicts
between dioceses and insurers over policy obligations. As abuse
claims continue nationwide, insurance coverage litigation remains a
critical issue in determining how settlements are funded, according
to Bloomberg.
About The Roman Catholic Archbishop of San Francisco
The Roman Catholic Archbishop of San Francisco, Archdiocese of San
Francisco, is a tax-exempt religious organization. The Archdiocese
of San Francisco is a Latin Church ecclesiastical territory or
diocese of the Catholic Church in the northern California region of
the United States. The Archdiocese of San Francisco was erected on
July 29, 1853, by Pope Pius IX, and its cathedral is the Cathedral
of Saint Mary of the Assumption.
The Archdiocese sought relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code (Bankr. N.D. Cal. Case No. 23-30564) on Aug. 21, 2023. In the
petition filed by Fr. Patrick Summerhays as vicar general and
moderator of the Curia, the Archdiocese reported $100 million to
$500 million in assets and liabilities.
The Hon. Dennis Montali oversees the case.

SAVERS VALUE: S&P Affirms 'B+' ICR on Resilient Sales Growth
------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings affirmed its 'B+' issuer credit rating on Thrift
retailer Savers Value Village Inc. (Savers).
The stable outlook reflects S&P's expectation that the company will
maintain S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage in the mid-3x area
and generate positive free operating cash flow (FOCF) over the next
12 months.
Savers continues to demonstrate comparable-store sales growth and a
stable operating performance despite weaker trends in Canada amid a
backdrop of pressured consumer spending.
S&P forecasts S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage in the mid-3x
area and S&P Global Ratings-adjusted EBITDA margins of roughly 23%
over the next 12 months.
S&P said, "We forecast positive sales momentum supported by
increased adoption of thrift shopping and new store growth. S&P
Global Ratings forecasts that Savers will increase its revenue by
6.6% in 2026, primarily by comparable-store sales growth and
incremental contributions from its maturing store base. Our
forecast also reflects the continued benefits Savers is realizing
from the accelerating adoption of thrift shopping, particularly
among younger and more-affluent U.S. consumers. The company plans
to open 25 new stores in 2026, which will further support its
revenue growth by expanding its footprint in underpenetrated
markets. In contrast, we forecast a more subdued contribution from
Canada because the market is mature and macroeconomic conditions
continue to pressure discretionary spending. We expect a strategic
deceleration in Savers' new store openings in Canada, along with
tighter production planning, will act as a near-term headwind to
its revenue growth in the region.
"We expect S&P Global Ratings-adjusted EBITDA margin will remain
flat in 2026. While Savers' S&P Global Ratings-adjusted EBITDA
margin contracted by 160 basis points to 23.2% for the
trailing-12-months ended April 4,2026, due to its accelerated new
store openings, wage inflation, and higher incentive compensation,
we believe it has reached an earnings inflection point. We
anticipate the company's ongoing initiatives, such as Automated
Book Processing and strategic capital allocation focused on
enhancing productivity and operating efficiency across its existing
store base, will offset the incremental costs from its new store
openings and higher wage rates. Therefore, we project Savers' S&P
Global Ratings-adjusted EBITDA margin will remain flat in 2026
before improving to 24.0% in 2027 as a larger proportion of its
store base matures.
"We project S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage will remain in the
mid-3x area in 2026, with $60 million of free operating cash flow
(FOCF). The company's S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage remained
at 3.6x for 12-months ended April 4, 2026, which was in line with
2025. We expect Savers' leverage will remain broadly stable in the
mid-3x area in 2026 as the improvement in its adjusted EBITDA base
offsets its incremental lease liabilities. We forecast the
company's capital expenditure (capex) will remain elevated at about
$135 million in 2026 as it prioritizes its U.S. expansion and
operational investments.
"We also expect Savers will maintain a moderately conservative
financial policy as it targets a leverage ratio of under 2x
(equivalent to about 3x on an S&P Global Ratings-adjusted basis),
supported by the balanced deployment of its excess cash between
share repurchases and debt repayment. However, our ratings are
constrained by its financial sponsor ownership and our view that
leverage is typically managed to more aggressive levels.
"The stable outlook reflects our expectation that Savers will
maintain S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage in the mid-3x area
and generate positive FOCF over the next 12 months."
S&P could lower the rating if it expects Savers' S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted debt to EBITDA will decline below 4.5x. This could
occur if:
-- The company adopts financial policies that deviate from S&P's
expectations, including through aggressive sponsor-led debt
issuance;
-- Its operating performance is weaker than expected, particularly
if its same-store sales trends deteriorate materially or its
margins continue to decline; and
-- The company is unable to successfully execute its growth and
operational initiatives, leading to lower-than-expected store
profitability, reduced operating leverage, and weaker cash flow
generation.
S&P said, "We could raise the rating if we expect Savers will
sustain S&P Global Ratings-adjusted debt to EBITDA of below 4.0x
and we believe its financial sponsor will significantly reduce
their ownership stake and relinquish control over the near-term."
S&P believes this could occur if:
-- The company demonstrates a consistent increase in its
same-store sales, a recovery in its Canada business, and success
with its rapid store growth strategy;
-- It materially expands the scale and breadth of its operations
such that it reduces the risk of profit volatility amid pressured
macroeconomic and operating environments; and
-- Financial policies remain conservative.

assets, $567.73 million in total liabilities, and $211.75 million

SINO GREEN: Q3 2026 Loss Narrows to $306K; Liquidity Doubt Stays
----------------------------------------------------------------
Sino Green Land Corporation has filed its Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, reporting a
net loss of $306,008 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, a
decrease of $179,074 of 37%, as compared to the net loss of
$485,082 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease
was primarily due to the increase of sales, and decrease of cost.
Net loss totaled $718,959 for the nine months ended March 31, 2026,
a decrease of $458,098 of 39%, as compared to the net loss of
$1,177,057 for the nine months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease
was primarily due to the decrease of cost of revenue and increase
of sales.
Revenues and Cost of Revenues
Net revenues were $334,766 for the three months ended March 31,
2026, reflecting an increase of $136,826, or 69%, from $197,940 for
the three months ended March 31, 2025. The growth in net revenues
was primarily driven by increased sales of third-party sourced
plastic recycled products. Notably, this expansion was achieved
alongside a consolidation of the customer base from 12 to 19
clients, reflecting a substantial rise in average purchase volume
per custom.
Net revenues were $1,060,984 for the nine months ended March 31,
2026, reflecting an increase of $289,538, or 38%, from $771,446 for
the nine months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in net revenues
was mainly due to an increase in sales of plastic recycle products
from the third parties. This growth occurred despite an increase in
the customer base from 32 to 41, indicating a significant increase
in per-customer purchase volumes.
Cost of revenues was $413,702 for the three months ended March 31,
2026, reflecting a decrease of $ 169,193, or 29%, from $582,895 for
the three months ended March 31, 2025. This decline was primarily
attributable to reduced impurities in purchased raw materials and,
more significantly, the commissioning of a new production line.
Cost of revenues was $1,264,282 for the nine months ended March 31,
2026, reflecting a decrease of $ 353,670, or 22%, from $1,617,952
for the nine months ended March 31, 2025. This decline was
primarily driven by a reduction in impurities within the Company's
purchased raw materials, and, more significantly, by the prior
period inventory write-down of $119,886 being credited to the cost
of sales in the current period.
Gross Loss
Gross loss was $78,936 for the three months ended March 31, 2026
and gross loss was $384,955, for the three months ended March 31,
2025, reflecting a significant decrease of $306,019 or 79%. The
decrease in gross loss was mainly due to the increase in sales.
Gross loss was $203,298 for the nine months ended March 31, 2025
and gross loss was $846,506 for the nine months ended March 31,
2025, reflecting a significant decrease of $643,208 or 76%. This
improvement was primarily driven by a reduction in cost of
revenues, also increase in the sales.
Going concern.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2026, Sino Green Land
Corporation had an accumulated deficit of $5,419,512, incurred a
net loss of $718,959 and the stockholder deficit of $2,873,004.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Sino Green Land
Corporation's ability to continue as a going concern within one
year after the date the financial statements are issued. In
addition, Sino Green Land Corporation's independent registered
public accounting firm, in their report on Sino Green Land
Corporation's June 30, 2025, audited financial statements, raised
substantial doubt about the Sino Green Land Corporation's ability
to continue as a going concern. No assurance can be given that any
future financing, if needed, will be available or, if available,
that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even
if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, if needed,
it may contain undue restrictions on its operations, in the case of
debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for its stockholders,
in the case of equity financing.
Management of the Company has evaluated the sufficiency of
additional capital resources. Management's plan is to obtain such
resources by seeking debt financing and/or third-party equity
sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses. Besides,
management has taken immediate and significant mitigating actions
to reduce costs and optimize the Company's cash flow and liquidity.
Measures include reducing expenditure through deferring or
canceling discretionary spend, freezing non-essential recruitment
and securing new round of equity financing to replenish working
capital. The Company has also acquired the financial support letter
from Empower International Trading Sdn. Bhd., the holding company
of the Company, who has expressed the willingness and intention to
provide the necessary financial support to the Company. However,
there is uncertainty as to whether these plans will be effectively
implemented or yield sufficient results.

October 14, 2025, attached to the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, citing that the
Company incurred a net loss of $1,808,994 and used cash in
operating activities of $845,971, result in an accumulated deficit
of $4.7 million. The Company's current liabilities exceeded current
assets $4.4 million, and the stockholder deficit of $2.4 million.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $4,951,094 in total assets,
$7,824,098 in total liabilities, and $2,873,004 in total
stockholders' deficit.
SOCIETY PASS: At Risk of Nasdaq Delisting After Chapter 11 Filing
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Lukas Schmidt of stock invest.us reports that Society Pass Inc. saw
its stock tumble nearly 19% in premarket trading after Nasdaq moved
to delist the shares following the company's Chapter 11 bankruptcy
filing. The exchange cited bankruptcy-related listing standards in
determining the company was no longer suitable for continued
trading on Nasdaq.
The Singapore-focused e-commerce and digital lifestyle company,
along with subsidiary SoPa Inc., filed for Chapter 11 protection in
the Southern District of Texas on May 12, 2026. Nasdaq responded
within days, informing the company that its securities would be
suspended from trading beginning May 21, 2026. The exchange also
plans to submit a Form 25-NSE to formally terminate the stock’s
registration, the report relays.
Society Pass has indicated it will challenge the delisting decision
through an appeal process. Despite that effort, investors remain
concerned about liquidity risks and the potential for the stock to
shift to less active trading venues outside the Nasdaq market.
The delisting notice highlights the difficult path facing companies
attempting to restructure through bankruptcy while maintaining
public-market access. Market participants reacted swiftly to the
news, driving SOPA shares sharply lower amid uncertainty over the
company's financial future and restructuring prospects, according
to report.

SPIRITS OF THE USA: Vodka Distillery Seeks Subchapter V Bankruptcy
------------------------------------------------------------------
Kirk O'Neil of The Street reports that award-winning distillery
operator Spirits of the USA LLC has entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy
as it seeks to restructure its operations and debt obligations. The
company, which produces Legends-branded vodka, bourbon, gin, and
tequila, filed a Subchapter V petition in Georgia bankruptcy court
on May 15.
According to court documents, the distiller reported between
$500,000 and $1 million in assets against liabilities estimated at
$1 million to $10 million. The filing identified several
significant unsecured creditors, including landlords, suppliers,
tax authorities, and financial institutions.
The company launched its large-scale distillery and tasting room in
Cumming, Georgia, in 2020, marketing its products through retail
stores, online sales, and direct customer experiences. While
Legends spirits remain available through some third-party
retailers, the company's own website is no longer functioning,
raising questions about ongoing operations, the report states.
Spirits of the USA gained attention in the spirits industry after
receiving multiple awards from the International Wine & Spirit
Competition. Its Legends Vodka and Legends Single Barrel Bourbon
both captured gold medals with 95-point ratings, helping establish
the brand in the premium spirits market, according to report.

STUCKEY PREMIER: Gets Interim Ok to Use Cash Collateral
-------------------------------------------------------
Stuckey Premier Enterprises, LLC received interim approval from the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina,

$35,914, including payroll ($12,000), Sysco supplies ($10,000),

TCF Equipment Finance) and First Internet Bank of Indiana (as
assignee of ApplePie Capital), may hold security interests in its

TALPHERA INC: Rosalind Advisors Disclose 9.9% Equity Stake
----------------------------------------------------------
Rosalind Advisors, Inc., Steven A.J. Salamon, Aharon Gil, and
Rosalind Master Fund L.P. disclosed in a Schedule 13G (Amendment
No. 3) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that
as of March 31, 2025, each beneficially owns 12,925,597 shares of
Common Shares, consisting of:
(i) 3,353,916 shares of Common Stock;
(ii) 2,941,180 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
warrants; and
(iii) 6,630,501 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
pre-funded warrants, of Talphera, Inc.'s Common Shares,
representing 9.9% of the 51,899,648 ordinary shares of the
Company's common stock outstanding as of April 24, 2026, based on
the DEF 14A Filing on June 29, 2026.
The securities reported show the number of shares of Common Stock
that would be issuable upon full conversion and exercise of such
reported securities and do not give effect to such blockers;
therefore, the actual number of shares of Common Stock beneficially
owned by each Reporting Person, after giving effect to such
blockers, is less than the number of securities reported, as the
warrants and pre-funded warrants contain a blocker provision under
which the holder does not have the right to exercise any of the
warrants to the extent that such exercise would result in
beneficial ownership by the holder in excess of 9.99% of the Common
Stock.

TB ENTERPRISES: Seeks Chapter 11 Bankruptcy to Restructure Business
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Kirk O'Neil of The Street reports that Wood-fired pizza chain
Smoking Monkey Pizza has entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy in an effort
to restructure its business and stabilize operations. Its parent
company, TB Enterprises LLC, filed for protection in Seattle
bankruptcy court on May 12, 2026 reporting up to $50,000 in assets
and between $100,000 and $500,000 in liabilities.
Court papers list several significant unsecured creditors,
including the Washington Department of Revenue, food distributor
Sysco, Chase Card Services, Gravity Payments, Greco, and Puget

tied to taxes, utilities, payment processing, and supply costs.
The company recently reduced its footprint by closing its Spokane

operating restaurants in Renton and Seattle, where it has served
customers for more than a decade, the report relays.

TELA BIO: Liabilities Exceed Assets by $5.2M at March 31, 2026
--------------------------------------------------------------
TELA Bio, Inc.'s stockholder's deficit was US$5.2 million at March
31, 2026. The Company has no stockholder's deficit at Dec. 31,
2025.
At March 31, 2026, the Company had total assets of US$70.0 million
and total liabilities of US$75.1 million. At Dec. 31, 2025, the
Company had total assets of US$81.4 million and total liabilities
of US$75.1 million.
The Company said: "During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we
used $11.2 million of cash in operating activities, resulting from
our net loss of $12.3 million and changes in operating assets and
liabilities of $1.2 million, partially offset by our non-cash items
of $2.3 million. Our non-cash items were primarily comprised of
stock-based compensation expense of $0.8 million, our excess and
obsolete inventory charge of $0.9 million, depreciation and
amortization expense of $0.3 million and noncash interest expense
of $0.2 million. The change in our operating assets and liabilities
was primarily related to an increase in inventory and a decrease in
accrued expenses and other current liabilities offset by an
increase in accounts payable. Consistent with historical trends,
cash used in operations in each of the remaining quarters of the
fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 is expected to be lower than
the amount reported for the three months ended March 31, 2026."
"During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we used $9.7 million
of cash in operating activities, resulting from our net loss of
$11.3 million, changes in operating assets and liabilities of $0.6

expenses and other current liabilities partially offset by
increases in accounts payable."
The Company discloses that during the three months ended March 31,
2026, cash provided by investing activities was $0.2 million
consisting of proceeds received from the sale of NIVIS of $0.3
million offset by $0.1 million in purchases of property and
equipment. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, cash
provided by investing activities was $0.1 million consisting of
proceeds received from the sale of NIVIS of $0.2 million offset by
$32,000 in purchases of property and equipment.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, cash used in
financing activities was $0.3 million, consisting primarily of
payments of accrued offering costs and payments of withholding
taxes related to stock-based compensation to employees partially
offset by proceeds received from the issuance of common stock under

THERAPEUTICS MD: Swings to $95,000 Net Income in Q1 2026
--------------------------------------------------------
TherapeuticsMD, Inc. has filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, reporting a net
income of $95 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026,
compared to a net loss of $653 thousand for the same period in the
prior year. The Company recorded $724 thousand in license revenue
for the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $331 thousand,
compared to $393 thousand in license revenue for the first quarter
of 2025. The increase is attributable to changes in sales of
licensed products. As of March 31, 2026, the Company's cash and
cash equivalents totaled $8.4 million.
Going Concern
On December 30, 2022, the Company completed a transaction with
Mayne Pharma LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and
subsidiary of Mayne Pharma Group Limited, an Australian public
company, in which the Company and its subsidiaries:
(i) granted Mayne Pharma an exclusive license to commercialize
its IMVEXXY, BIJUVA and prescription prenatal vitamin products sold
under the BocaGreenMD and vitaMedMD brands in the United States and
its possessions and territories,
(ii) assigned to Mayne Pharma its exclusive license to
commercialize ANNOVERA in the United States and its possessions and
territories, and
(iii) sold certain other assets to Mayne Pharma in connection
therewith.
Following the transaction with Mayne Pharma, the Company's primary
source of revenue is from royalties on products licensed to
pharmaceutical organizations that possess commercial capabilities
in the relevant territories. The Company may need to raise
additional capital to provide additional liquidity to fund its
operations. To address its capital needs, the Company may pursue
various equity and debt financing and other alternatives. The
equity financing alternatives may include the private placement of
equity, equity-linked, or other similar instruments or obligations
with one or more investors, lenders, or other institutional
counterparties or an underwritten public equity or equity-linked
securities offering. The Company's ability to sell equity
securities may be limited by market conditions, including the
market price of its common stock, and its available authorized
shares.
To the extent that the Company raises additional capital through
the sale of such securities, the ownership interests of its
existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these new
securities may include liquidation or other preferences that
adversely affect the rights of its existing stockholders. If the
Company is not successful in obtaining additional financing, it
could be forced to discontinue or curtail its business operations,
sell assets at unfavorable prices, or merge, consolidate, or
combine with a company with greater financial resources in a
transaction that might be unfavorable to it.
On May 1, 2023, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement
with Rubric Capital Management LP, pursuant to which the Company
agreed to sell to Rubric, or one or more of its affiliates, up to
an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value
$0.001 per share, from time to time during the term of the
Subscription Agreement in separate drawdowns at the Company's
election. On June 29, 2023, the Company issued and sold 312,525
shares of Common Stock at a price per share equal to $3.6797
pursuant to the Subscription Agreement. The Company received gross
proceeds of $1.15 million from the draw-down, before expenses. On
November 15, 2023, Rubric drew an additional 877,192 shares of
Common Stock at a price per share equal to $2.2761. The Company
received gross proceeds of $2.0 million from the draw-down, before
expenses. There were no drawdowns in the first three months of 2026
and 2025.
In February 2024, the Company received Mayne Pharma's calculation
of the net working capital allowances for payer rebates and
wholesale distributor fees pursuant to the Transaction Agreement,
which differed significantly from the Company's estimate of the
allowances. The Company continues to believe its estimated
allowances for payer rebates and wholesale distributor fees are
reasonable. In August 2024 and in February 2025, the Company also
received information from Mayne Pharma pertaining to the net
working capital allowance for returns that differs significantly
from the Company's estimate of the allowance.
On April 8, 2025, the Company filed a lawsuit against Mayne Pharma
in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware
(the "Mayne Lawsuit") seeking damages for breach of contract,
breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing,
fraudulent inducement, and unjust enrichment related to Mayne
Pharma's actions in relation to the License Agreement and the
Transaction Agreement, primarily relating to the net working
capital allowances and certain actions or inactions by Mayne Pharma
relating thereto. On June 20, 2025, the Company filed an amended
complaint against Mayne Pharma and on July 22, 2025, Mayne Pharma
filed a motion to dismiss the Mayne Lawsuit.
On March 23, 2026, a magistrate judge recommended that the court
grant-in-part and deny-in-part Mayne Pharma's motion to dismiss.
The magistrate judge recommended granting Mayne's motion to dismiss
the Company's claims for breach of the covenant of good faith and
fair dealing, certain of the Company's breach of contract claims
and its claim for fraudulent inducement, but recommended the court
grant the Company leave to amend the fraudulent inducement claim.
The magistrate judge recommended denying Mayne's motion to dismiss
the Company's other claims. The magistrate judge further
recommended the court stay the Mayne Lawsuit while the parties
submit the net working capital claims to a dispute resolution
process. On April 6, 2026, the Company filed objections to certain
of the magistrate judge's recommendations.
On May 30, 2025, Mayne Pharma filed a lawsuit against the Company
in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware
(the "Mayne Countersuit" and, together with the Mayne Lawsuit, the
"Mayne Lawsuits") seeking damages for breach of contract and
fraudulent inducement related to the Transaction Agreement. As part
of the Mayne Countersuit, Mayne Pharma also made certain
indemnification demands under the Transaction Agreement, which the
Company disputes. On July 28, 2025, the Company filed a motion to
dismiss the fraudulent inducement claim in the Mayne Countersuit.
On March 23, 2026, a magistrate judge recommended that the court
grant the Company's motion to dismiss Mayne Pharma's claim for
fraudulent inducement, but recommended the court deny the Company's
motion to dismiss Mayne Pharma's other claims. As of March 31,
2026, the Company believed no additional accrual was required for
such claims, as it could not reasonably estimate a range of loss.
The outcome of this matter is uncertain at this point. As a result,
the Company cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss, and
accordingly, has not accrued any additional liability associated
with Mayne Pharma's allowance calculation for payer rebates and
wholesale distributor fees, particularly as the Company believes
the outcome of this matter to be intertwined with the resolution of
the net working capital allowance for returns.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company also believed no additional
accrual was required for amounts that may be owed for the allowance
for returns under the Transaction Agreement. The Company has not
recorded any contingent gains or receivables for any such
allowances. Management continues to monitor the unresolved and
pending net working capital items as changes to estimated amounts
owed or amounts due from Mayne Pharma may be material.
Mayne Pharma has also made certain indemnification demands under
the Transaction Agreement, which the Company disputes. As of March
31, 2026, the Company believed no additional accrual was required
for such claims, as it could not reasonably estimate a range of
loss.
If Mayne Pharma's sales of Licensed Products grow more slowly than
expected or decline, including as a result of Mayne Pharma Group's
potential sale to Cosette Pharmaceuticals, Inc., if the net working
capital settlement with Mayne Pharma under the Transaction
Agreement is greater than the Company's current estimates, if the
outcome of the Mayne Lawsuits is worse than the Company
anticipates, if the Company is unsuccessful with future financings
or the supply chains related to the third-party contract
manufacturers are worse than the Company anticipates, its existing
cash reserves may be insufficient to satisfy its liquidity
requirements. The potential impact of these factors in conjunction
with the uncertainty of the capital markets raises substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern
for the next 12 months.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. has filed its Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission,
reporting a net loss of $40.2 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2026, compared to a net loss of $16.8 million for the
same period in the prior year. Product net revenue for the three
months ended March 31, 2026 were $6.9 million, compared to $2.4

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had working capital of $177.5
million, composed primarily of cash and cash equivalents of $185.5
million, accounts receivable, net of $8.8 million, inventory of
$3.6 million, and prepaid expenses and other of $9.2 million,
offset by $9.7 million of accounts payable, $19.8 million of
accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and $0.2 million of
lease liabilities, short term. A significant portion of the
accounts payable and accrued expenses are due to work performed in
relation to the Company's clinical programs, and accruals for gross
to net deductions related to its commercial products.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, the Company
used approximately $42.3 million and $16.6 million in operating
activities, respectively, which represents cash outlays for
research and development and selling, general and administrative
expenses in such periods. For the three months ended March 31,
2026, net cash provided by financing activities was $20.2 million,
predominately from the proceeds from the sale of the Company's
common stock. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash
provided by financing activities was $49.5 million, predominately
from the proceeds from the sale of the Company's common stock of
$62.2 million, offset by the repayment of the term loan of $9.7
million and repurchase of the Company's common stock of $3.0
million. Cash used by investing activities for the three months
ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, was $1.7 million and $6,000
respectively, related to the purchase of property and equipment.
The increase is predominately due to more laboratory equipment
purchases.
The Company believes that its cash resources at March 31, 2026, and
the net proceeds of $22.6 million that it raised from equity
offerings in the second quarter of 2026 will meet its planned
operating and capital expenditure requirements into early second
quarter of 2027, but will not extend to 12 months from the issuance
of these financial statements.
The Company continues to face significant challenges and
uncertainties and, as a result, its available capital resources may
be consumed more rapidly than currently expected due to changes it
may make in its research and development spending plans. These
factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern for the one-year period from the date
of filing of this Form 10-Q. The Company must obtain additional
funding through public or private financing or collaborative
arrangements with strategic partners to increase the funds
available to fund operations. Without additional funds, the Company
may be forced to delay, scale back or eliminate some of its
research and development activities, or other operations and
potentially delay product development to provide sufficient funds
to continue its operations. If any of these events occur, the
Company's ability to achieve its development and commercialization
goals would be adversely affected and it may be forced to cease
operations.
Future Liquidity Requirements
The Company expects to incur losses from operations for the near
future. The Company expects to incur increasing research and
development expenses, including expenses related to additional
clinical trials and the build out of its research and development
operations and manufacturing. The Company will not have enough
resources to meet its operating requirements for the one-year
period from filing date of this report.
The Company's future capital requirements will depend on a number
of factors, including the availability of financing, the timing and
outcome of regulatory approvals, the progress of its research and
development of product candidates, the costs involved in preparing,
filing, prosecuting, maintaining, defending and enforcing patent
claims and other intellectual property rights, the status of
competitive products, and its success in developing markets for its
product candidates.
The Company will need to obtain additional capital in order to fund
future research and development activities. Future financing may
include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit
facilities, or other financing mechanisms. Even if the Company is
able to raise the funds required, it is possible that it could
incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant
amounts owed to it, or experience unexpected cash requirements that
would force it to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if the
Company issues additional equity or debt securities, shareholders
may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may
have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing
holders of the Company's common stock.
If additional financing is not available or is not available on
acceptable terms, the Company may be required to delay, reduce the
scope of or eliminate its research and development programs, reduce
its commercialization efforts or obtain funds through arrangements
with collaborative partners or others that may require it to
relinquish rights to certain product candidates that it might
otherwise seek to develop or commercialize independently.

About Tonix Pharmaceuticals
Chatham, N.J.-based Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp., through
its wholly owned subsidiary Tonix Pharmaceuticals, Inc., is a fully
integrated biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and
commercializing therapeutics to treat and prevent human disease and
alleviate suffering.
EisnerAmper LLP, the Company's former independent registered public
accounting firm, included an explanatory paragraph in its audit
report dated March 12, 2026, attached to the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025,
expressing substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. The auditor cited that the Company has
continuing losses and negative cash flows from operating activities
that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $257.9 million in total
assets, $30.8 million in total liabilities, and $227.1 million in
total stockholders' equity.
TOWNSQUARE MEDIA: Debts Exceed Assets by $36.2M at March 31
-----------------------------------------------------------
Townsquare Media, Inc.'s stockholder's deficit was US$36.2 million
at March 31, 2026. The stockholder's deficit was US$41.0 million at
Dec. 31, 2025.
At March 31, 2026, the Company had total assets of US$516.1 million
and total liabilities of US$552.3 million. At Dec. 31, 2025, the
Company had total assets of US$528.6 million and total liabilities
of US$569.6 million.
Townsquare Media, Inc. presents a tight liquidity profile with only
$2.2 million of cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026,
against $434.2 million of outstanding indebtedness (net of
discounts and costs). The Company states: "we believe that our cash
on hand and cash flows from our operating, investing, and financing
activities will enable us to meet our working capital, capital
expenditures, debt service, and other funding requirements for at
least one year from the date of this report."
The Company said: "Net cash provided by operating activities was
approximately $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31,
2026, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $0.1
million for the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily
related to lower cash interest payments in 2026 and net changes in
working capital balances, particularly accrued expenses and
accounts receivable."
"As of March 31, 2026, we had $434.2 million of outstanding
indebtedness, net of unamortized discount and deferred financing
costs of $23.3 million."
"Based on the terms of our Senior Secured Credit Facility, as of
March 31, 2026, we expect our mandatory debt service requirements
to be approximately $50.7 million over the next twelve months. See
Note 6, Long-Term Debt, in our Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional information related to our Senior Secured
Credit Facility."
"As of March 31, 2026 we had $2.2 million of cash and cash
equivalents, and $49.1 million of receivables from customers, which
historically have had an average collection cycle of approximately
50 days. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $15.0 million
available under its revolving credit facility. Amounts borrowed
under the revolving credit facility above an aggregate $6.0 million
as of the end of each fiscal quarter requires compliance with a net
leverage ratio covenant, which could limit the Company's ability to
access the full amount of the facility."
On Oct. 29, 2025, the board of directors approved a quarterly cash
dividend of $0.20 per share. The dividend of $3.3 million was paid
to holders of record as of Jan. 26, 2026, on Feb. 2, 2026. On March
4, 2026, the board of directors approved a quarterly dividend of
$0.20 per share. The dividend of $3.6 million was paid to holders
of record as of April 27, 2026, on May 4, 2026. On May 1, 2026, the
board of directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per
share. The dividend will be payable on Aug. 3, 2026, to
shareholders of record as of the close of business on July 27,
2026.
The Company's anticipated uses of cash in the near term include
working capital needs, interest payments, debt amortization
payments, dividend payments, excess cashflow payments that may be
required under the terms of the Credit Agreement, other
obligations, and capital expenditures. The Company believes that
the cash generated by its operations should be sufficient to meet
its liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months. However, its
ability to fund its working capital needs, interest payments, debt
payments, dividend payments, other obligations, capital
expenditures, and to comply with financial covenants under its
debt agreements, depends on its future operating performance and
cash flow, which are in turn subject to prevailing economic
conditions, increases or decreases in advertising spending, changes
in the highly competitive industry in which the Company operates,
which may be rapid, and other factors, many of which are beyond its
control.
To the extent that current and anticipated future sources of
liquidity are insufficient to fund its future business activities
and requirements, the Company says it may be required to seek
additional equity or debt financing. The sale of additional equity
would result in additional dilution to its stockholders, while the
incurrence of debt financing would result in debt service
obligations. Such debt instruments could introduce covenants that
might restrict operations.

TRILLION ENERGY: BCSC Issues MCTO Over Delayed FY2025 Annual Filing
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Trillion Energy International Inc. announced that the British
Columbia Securities Commission has granted a management cease trade
order under National Policy 12-203 in connection with the Company's
annual financial filings for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The MCTO restricts trading in the Company's securities by certain
insiders, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, until the required filings have been completed. The MCTO
does not affect the ability of other shareholders to trade in the
Company's securities.
The Company disclosed that it is in the final stages of completing
its annual financial statements, management's discussion and
analysis, and related CEO and CFO certifications, and expected to
file the Annual Filings on or about May 8, 2026. As of the current,
the Company has not filed its Annual Filings.
The timing of the audit reflects a transition to a new independent
qualified reserves evaluator and the additional time required to
complete the associated reserves report in support of the year-end
financial reporting process. The reserves report has now been
completed and filed on SEDAR+ as of April 30, 2026, and the audit
process is progressing toward completion. Trillion continues to
work closely with its auditor, MNP LLP, and remains focused on
completing the Annual Filings as soon as practicable.
The Company intends to comply with the alternative information
guidelines set out in National Policy 12-203 during the period
prior to the filing of the Annual Filings, including the issuance
of biweekly status updates. Trillion confirms that it continues to
operate its business in the normal course and that there are no
insolvency proceedings against the Company. The Company is not
aware of any material information relating to its affairs that has
not been generally disclosed.

TRILLION ENERGY: Fulfills $250K Cash Commitment on M47c,d Oil Block
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Trillion Energy International Inc. announced that it has fulfilled
a near-term cash commitment of US$250,000 toward its earn-in
obligations for a 29% participating interest in the M47c,d oil
block, an onshore exploration asset located in southeastern
Turkiye. This payment will be applied against the Company's work
program commitments.
About the M47c,d Oil Block
The M47c,d oil block covers approximately 450 km2 within the
Cudi-Gabar petroleum province, one of Turkiye's most active onshore
oil regions. Block M47C3,C4 is located approximately 11 km
southeast of Turkiye's largest onshore light oil discovery, the
Şehit Aybuke Yalçın field*, which contains oil in the same
Beloka and Mardin Group carbonate reservoirs as M47. The region
hosts significant established production, with approximately 100
analogue wells operating within a 10–12-kilometre radius,
targeting the same Mardin and Beloka reservoir intervals that
Trillion plans to explore and evaluate on M47.

third-party resource evaluation identified meaningful contingent
and prospective oil resources on the Block, providing a strong
technical foundation for the upcoming work program.

TRINITY EXCAVATORS: Court Affirms Dismissal of Bankruptcy Case
--------------------------------------------------------------
Senior Judge Lee H. Rosenthal of the U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of Texas affirmed the Bankruptcy Court's order
dismissing the case with prejudice with for 180 days.
After the debtors, Trinity Excavators, LLC and TE Construction
Group, LLC, failed to file a Chapter 11 plan despite multiple
deadline extensions, the Bankruptcy Court dismissed the case with
prejudice for 180 days. In this appeal, Trinity and TE argue that
it was an abuse of discretion for the Bankruptcy Court to dismiss
the case with prejudice without notice and a hearing.
Trinity and TE filed a motion for reconsideration.
Third Coast Bank, SSB, a secured creditor, also filed a motion for
reconsideration. Third Coast argued that the dismissal was improper
not only because there was no notice and a hearing, but also
because the Bankruptcy Court did not make an evidentiary finding as
to what is in the best interest of the estate or the creditors.
The Bankruptcy Court denied the motions for reconsideration.
The Bankruptcy Court reiterated its prior reasoning that Trinity
and TE had failed to comply with multiple deadlines that they
selected and the Bankruptcy Court ordered, and that the appropriate
result for the violations of the court's orders was dismissal. The
Bankruptcy Court added that no hearing was necessary because the
case was dismissed for failure to follow court orders; that the
violation was evident from the docket; and that the court had
inherent authority to enforce its own orders.
The District Court finds a survey of the case law demonstrates that
the Bankruptcy Court's sua sponte dismissal for Trinity's and TE's
failure to follow its clear instructions did not violate due
process. Trinity and TE have pointed this court to no case law
showing that under the "particular circumstances" of this case, it
was an abuse of discretion for the court to sua sponte dismiss the
case after Trinity and TE repeatedly failed to meet their own
deadlines, including a self-imposed and clearly labeled "final"
deadline.
Trinity and TE have also provided no basis for the District Court
to reverse the Bankruptcy Court based on the fact that Third Coast
also filed a motion for reconsideration. According to the District
Court, although Trinity and TE rely heavily on the fact that Third
Bank wanted the bankruptcy proceedings to move forward, the
Bankruptcy Court had a duty to ensure that the case was prosecuted
timely and fairly, taking into consideration the interests of all
creditors. That the creditor behind one of 31 Proofs of Claim
wanted the case to move forward does not mean that the Bankruptcy
Court erred by dismissing the case, particularly given -- as the
Bankruptcy Court explained in denying the second motion for
reconsideration -- that Third Coast did not have a secured claim
and made up less than half the total amount claimed.
The District Court concludes that the Bankruptcy Court did not
abuse its discretion in dismissing this case, with prejudice, after
Trinity and TE failed to timely file their Chapter 11 plan.
This appeal is dismissed.

TURNONGREEN INC: Debts Exceed Assets by $33.6M at March 31
----------------------------------------------------------
TurnOnGreen, Inc.'s stockholder's deficit was US$33.6 million at
March 31, 2026. The stockholder's deficit was US$32.8 million at
Dec. 31, 2025.
At March 31, 2026, the Company had total assets of US$5.0 million
and total liabilities of US$13.6 million. At Dec. 31, 2025, the
Company had total assets of US$3.2 million and total liabilities of
US$11.1 million.
The Company says its condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going
concern. The Company has incurred recurring operating and net
losses that have not provided sufficient cash flows. Management
believes that the Company will continue to incur operating and net
losses each quarter until at least the time it begins significant
deliveries of its products. The Company's inability to continue as
a going concern could have a negative impact on the Company,
including its ability to obtain needed financing. In view of these
matters, the Company says there is substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company intends to finance its future development activities
and its working capital needs largely through advances from
Hyperscale Data, Inc. ("Hyperscale") until such time as funds
provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital
requirements. Although management believes that capital sources
will be available, there can be no assurances that Hyperscale will
continue providing financing to the Company when needed to allow
the Company to continue its operations, or if available, on terms
acceptable to the Company. The condensed consolidated financial
statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating
to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the
amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary
should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

UNITED PARKS: Liabilities Exceed Assets by $557.2M at March 31
--------------------------------------------------------------
United Parks & Resorts Inc.'s stockholder's deficit was US$557.2
million at March 31, 2026. The stockholder's deficit was US$435.8
million at Dec. 31, 2025.
At March 31, 2026, the Company had total assets of US$2.6 billion
and total liabilities of US$3.2 billion. At Dec. 31, 2025, the
Company had total assets of US$2.6 billion and total liabilities of
US$3.1 billion.
United Parks & Resorts Inc. presents itself as relying primarily on
"cash generated from operations, funds from borrowings and existing
cash on hand" to meet its obligations, but discloses a working
capital ratio of just 0.5 as of March 31, 2026, indicating that
current liabilities significantly exceed current assets. The
Company acknowledges that it has historically operated near a 1.0
working capital ratio, but does not describe any specific plan to
restore that level beyond continued reliance on operating cash
flows and its revolving credit facility. Management states: "We
believe our cash flow from operations, along with our revolving
credit facility, will allow us to meet our liquidity needs," and
further, "We believe that existing cash and cash equivalents, cash
flow from operations, and available borrowings under our revolving
credit facility will be adequate...for at least the next 12
months."
Net cash provided by operating activities was $66.8 million during
the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $25.7 million
during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The change in net
cash provided by operating activities was primarily impacted by
changes in working capital.
The Company said: "Investing activities consist principally of
capital investments we make in our theme parks for future
attractions and infrastructure. Net cash used in investing
activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026 consisted
of capital expenditures of $69.6 million largely related to future
attractions. Net cash used in investing activities during the
three months ended March 31, 2025 consisted primarily of $56.9
million of capital expenditures."
"Net cash used in financing activities during the three months
ended March 31, 2026 results primarily from $93.8 million used to
repurchase shares and repayments of $3.9 million on our long-term
debt, partially offset by $30.0 million in net proceeds from
activity on our revolving credit facility. Net cash used in
financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025
results primarily from $4.6 million used to repurchase shares and
repayments of $3.9 million on our long-term debt."
The Company says it is a holding company and conducts its
operations through its subsidiaries, which have incurred or
guaranteed indebtedness. As of March 31, 2026, its indebtedness
consisted of senior secured credit facilities and 5.25% senior
notes (the "Senior Notes"). SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment, Inc.
("SEA") is the borrower under the senior secured credit facilities,
as amended and restated pursuant to a credit agreement (the
"Amended and Restated Credit Agreement") dated Aug. 25, 2021 (the
"Senior Secured Credit Facilities").
As of March 31, 2026, the Company's Senior Secured Credit
Facilities consisted of $1.519 billion in Term B-3 Loans, which
will mature on Dec. 4, 2031, along with a $700.0 million Revolving
Credit Facility, of which $30.0 million was drawn upon as of March
31, 2026, and will mature on Aug. 23, 2029. Additionally, as of
March 31, 2026, SEA had approximately $10.9 million of outstanding
letters of credit, leaving approximately $659.1 million available
for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31,
2026, SEA had outstanding $725.0 million in aggregate principal
amount of Senior Notes due on Aug. 15, 2029.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company declares it was in compliance
with all covenants in the credit agreement governing the Senior
Secured Credit Facilities and the indentures governing its Senior
Notes.

$20.6 million as of March 31, 2026, combined with the uncertainty
regarding the availability of additional funding, the Company has
concluded that substantial doubt exists regarding its ability to
continue as a going concern within the next 12 months.
The Company plans to address the conditions that raise substantial
doubt regarding its ability to continue as a going concern by,
among other things, obtaining additional funding through equity
offerings, debt financing, collaborations, strategic alliances
and/or licensing arrangements. The consolidated financial
statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which
contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of
liabilities in the normal course of business.
There can be no assurance the Company will be able to obtain
additional liquidity when needed or under acceptable terms, if at
all. If the Company is unable to raise capital when needed or on
attractive terms, the Company would be forced to delay, reduce or
eliminate commercialization efforts and development programs.
In November 2025, the Company sold an aggregate of:
(i) 6,499,826 shares of its common stock
(ii) with respect to certain purchasers pre-funded warrants to
purchase 5,305,164 shares of common stock in lieu of shares and
(iii) in either case, the accompanying Series C warrants to
purchase 2,951,241 shares of common stock.
The purchase price per share of common stock and accompanying
Series C warrant was $4.24125 per share and the purchase price for
the Pre-funded Warrants and accompanying Series C warrant was
$4.24115 per share. The Company received net proceeds of $49.1
million from the Private Placement, after deducting placement fees
of $0.9 million.
The Company plans to secure additional capital in the future
through equity or debt financings, partnerships, or other sources
to carry out the Company's planned commercial and development
activities. The amount of proceeds the Company may be able to raise
pursuant to its currently effective shelf registration statement on
Form S-3 is limited. The Company is subject to the general
instructions of Form S-3 known as the "baby shelf rules." Under
these rules, the amount of funds the Company can raise through
primary public offerings of securities in any 12-month period using
its registration statement on Form S-3 is limited to one-third of
the aggregate market value of the shares of the Company's common
stock held by its non-affiliates. Therefore, the Company will be
limited in the amount of proceeds it is able to raise by selling
its securities using its Form S-3 until such time as the Company's
public float exceeds $75.0 million.

the amounts due under the note become convertible with the Lender

conversion price equal to an 80% discount to the lesser of (a) the
closing price of the Company's common stock on (x) the Funding Date
of the Initial Note and (y) the Funding Date of the Second Note

6, 2026, and the Second Note default terms were amended in certain
respects to the default terms in the Fourth Note. The Company

$40,000 for legal and transaction fees. The Company and the Lender
also entered into a Subsidiary Guarantee, under which the Company's
subsidiaries are guaranteeing the amounts due under the Fourth Note
and a Pledge and Security Agreement, under which the Company and
its subsidiaries secured the repayment of the amounts due under the
Second Note and the Fourth Note with their assets as collateral.

YESCARE CORP: Staff No-Shows Prompt Creditors to Seek Contract End
------------------------------------------------------------------
James Nani of Bloomberg Law reports that bankrupt prison healthcare
operator YesCare Corp. is under increasing scrutiny as government
agencies seek to terminate contracts over unpaid worker
compensation and staffing disruptions. Court filings show that
Philadelphia officials and Florida's Brevard County Sheriff's
Office have asked a bankruptcy judge for emergency relief allowing
them to end healthcare agreements with the company.
The motions cite concerns that employees have failed to report to
work because of payroll problems, potentially disrupting medical
services for inmates in correctional facilities. The agencies argue
that continued instability poses serious operational and public
safety risks, the report states.
Meanwhile, YesCare is attempting to secure court approval to use
lender-controlled cash collateral to continue funding day-to-day
operations and employee payroll. The company said it is evaluating
financing alternatives as it seeks a broader bankruptcy loan
package to support restructuring efforts.
Headquartered in Brentwood, Tennessee, YesCare provides healthcare
services to prisons and correctional institutions across the United
States. The Chapter 11 case has intensified concerns about the
financial pressures facing private correctional healthcare
providers and their ability to maintain essential services during
restructuring, the report cites.

[] Chapter 15 Filings Spiked in U.S. in 1st Qtr. of 2026
--------------------------------------------------------
Rick Archer of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that Chapter 15
bankruptcy filings surged in the United States during the first
quarter of 2026, with attorneys attributing the increase to a
growing number of multinational restructurings involving companies
with international operations and U.S.-based stakeholders.
Lawyers said foreign debtors are increasingly seeking Chapter 15
recognition to gain access to protections available under U.S.
bankruptcy law while restructuring overseas. Recognition
proceedings can provide important safeguards, including litigation
stays and assistance in administering assets located in the United
States.
Industry observers noted that persistent economic volatility,
higher borrowing costs, and pressure on global balance sheets are
driving more companies into restructuring negotiations.
Cross-border insolvency matters have become particularly prominent
among businesses operating in sectors vulnerable to changing
financing conditions and slowing economic activity.
Attorneys expect the trend to continue as international companies
pursue coordinated restructuring strategies across multiple
jurisdictions. The rise in Chapter 15 cases underscores the
expanding role of U.S. bankruptcy courts in managing complex global
insolvency proceedings.
[] DBRS Confirms 17 Ratings From Five Westlake Automobile Deals
---------------------------------------------------------------
DBRS, Inc. (Morningstar DBRS) Upgraded Seven credit ratings,
confirmed Seventeen credit ratings, and discontinued two credit
ratings due to repayment, from Five Westlake Automobile Receivables
Trust Transactions
Credit rating rationale includes the key analytical
considerations:
-- For Westlake Automobile Receivables Trust 2023-1 and Westlake
Automobile Receivables Trust 2023-3, although losses are tracking
above the Morningstar DBRS initial base-case cumulative net loss
(CNL) expectations, the current level of hard credit enhancement
(CE) and estimated excess spread are sufficient to support the
Morningstar DBRS projected remaining CNL assumptions at multiples
of coverage commensurate with the credit ratings.
-- For Westlake Automobile Receivables Trust 2024-2, Westlake
Automobile Receivables Trust 2025-1 and Westlake Automobile
Receivables Trust 2025-3, losses are tracking either in line with
or below the Morningstar DBRS initial base-case CNL expectations.
The current level of hard CE and estimated excess spread are
sufficient to support the Morningstar DBRS projected remaining CNL
assumptions at multiples of coverage commensurate with the credit
ratings.
-- Current credit enhancement levels have increased compared to
initial levels.
-- As a percentage of the current collateral balances, total
delinquencies for each Transaction have either declined or remained
flat during the current payment date.
-- The credit rating actions are the result of collateral
performance as of the April 2026 payment date, and Morningstar
DBRS' assessment of future performance assumptions.
-- The transaction parties' capabilities regarding originating,
underwriting, and servicing.
-- The transaction assumptions consider Morningstar DBRS' baseline
macroeconomic scenarios for rated sovereign economies, available in
its commentary, "Baseline Macroeconomic Scenarios for Rated
Sovereigns March 2026 Update," published on March 27, 2026. These
baseline macroeconomic scenarios replace Morningstar DBRS' moderate
and adverse coronavirus pandemic scenarios, which were first
published in April 2020.
Morningstar DBRS' credit ratings on the applicable classes address
the credit risk associated with the identified financial
obligations in accordance with the relevant transaction documents.
Where applicable, a description of these financial obligations can
be found in the transactions' respective press releases at
issuance.
Morningstar DBRS' long-term credit ratings provide opinions on risk
of default. Morningstar DBRS considers risk of default to be the
risk that an issuer will fail to satisfy the financial obligations
in accordance with the terms under which a long-term obligation has
been issued. The Morningstar DBRS short-term debt rating scale
provides an opinion on the risk that an issuer will not meet its
short-term financial obligations in a timely manner.

[] U.S. Farm Bankruptcy Filings Rise Sharply in April 2026
----------------------------------------------------------
Hilary Russ and Emily Lever of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority report
that farm-related Chapter 12 bankruptcy filings rose dramatically
in April, reaching levels not seen in over six years as economic
pressures continue to weigh on agricultural producers. The increase
reflects broader growth in bankruptcy filings across multiple
sectors.
Rising fuel prices, inflation, and higher interest rates have
significantly increased the cost of doing business for farms. These
financial pressures have been compounded by volatile commodity
markets and unpredictable revenue streams.
Many farmers are also facing increased expenses related to
equipment maintenance, labor, and agricultural inputs. At the same
time, access to credit has tightened, limiting options for
short-term financial relief.
Restructuring professionals say the combination of these pressures
has pushed more agricultural operators into Chapter 12 bankruptcy
protection. The trend underscores growing financial instability
within the farming sector, the report relays.
Experts caution that more filings could follow in the coming months
if conditions do not stabilize. The April increase is viewed as a
potential indicator of continued distress ahead, Law360 reports.
