The Debtor is represented by Dawn Kirby, Esq. of Kirby Aisner &

513 INVESTMENTS: Amends Legalist SPV Unsecured Claims Pay
---------------------------------------------------------
513 Investments, LLC, submitted a First Modified Subchapter V Plan
of Reorganization dated June 4, 2026.
The Debtor's Plan provides for an orderly liquidation of the
Debtor's real estate assets to pay all creditors in full. The Plan
is founded on a "Lease-to-Sale" bridge strategy designed to satisfy
the demands of both the senior lender and the largest unsecured
creditor, Legalist SPV III, LP.
The Debtor intends to execute a lease for the Van Alstyne property
generating $15,000 or more in monthly gross revenue. To the extent
the Debtor executes a lease for the Van Alstyne property prior to a
sale, any rental proceeds generated (the 'Rental Proceeds') will be
used to pay property operating expenses and provide monthly
interest-only 'adequate protection' payments to First United Bank &
Trust Co. and pro-rata installments to secured tax creditors.
Should the Debtor execute a lease for the Van Alstyne property
prior to closing a sale, the Debtor shall file a formal notice
outlining the terms of the lease, which must include, without
limitation: (1) the identity of the proposed tenant; (2) whether
the tenant constitutes an insider of the Debtor; (3) the specific
duration of the lease; and (4) the exact dollar amount of the
monthly rental payments due thereunder.
The properties will be aggressively marketed by a court-approved
broker for a period of 120 days following the Effective Date.
During the 120-day Controlled Marketing Period, the listing prices
for the Real Properties may be reduced to facilitate a competitive
and timely sale. To prevent depressing the market value of the
assets, these price reductions will not occur automatically or be
published in advance. Rather, any such price adjustments shall be
implemented at the sole discretion of the Debtor, following prior
consultation with the Subchapter V Trustee, First United Bank &
Trust Co. (FUBTC), and Legalist.
The Debtor shall seek authority to employ Vincent Realty Group as
its exclusive real estate broker to market the Debtor's real
property, including the 659 Martin Duke Road, Van Alstyne, Texas
property and the Hwy 289, Gunter, Texas property, for sale.
Any sale or other transaction shall be subject to notice,
opportunity for hearing, and Bankruptcy Court approval. Upon
closing of any approved transaction, Vincent Realty Group shall be
paid from the transaction proceeds a commission of 6.00% of the
gross purchase price for a sale, subject to any approved sharing
with a cooperating broker. Any distribution of proceeds, including
the waterfall in Section VI, shall remain subject to Bankruptcy
Court approval.
General unsecured vendors will be paid pro-rata from any remaining
sale proceeds and 100% of the net recovery from the Mal Tech
litigation. Given the equity identified in the professional
appraisals and the Debtor's own internal valuations, the Debtor
anticipates a 100% recovery for all classes of creditors.
Class 4 consists of the allowed unsecured claim of Legalist SPV
III, LP in the amount of $955,551.45. This claim is separately
classified from other general unsecured creditors due to Legalist's
existing personal guaranty claims against David Kirby and contended
equitable interests in the Real Properties. Legalist shall be paid
in full, including post-petition interest at the contract rate of
9.5%, from the sale proceeds in accordance with the distribution
waterfall following the satisfaction of Classes 1, 2, and 3.
Class 5 consists of all other allowed non-priority unsecured
claims, primarily representing various trade and vendor debt. These
claims shall be paid on a pro-rata basis from the remaining real
estate sale proceeds and 100% of the net recovery obtained by the
Debtor from the pending litigation against Mal Technologies Fleet,
LLC.
In the event the Debtor executes a lease for the Van Alstyne
property prior to a sale, the resulting net Rental Proceeds shall
be distributed monthly as follows:
* Property Expenses: Insurance, maintenance, and Subchapter V
Trustee fees.
* Class 3 (FUBTC): Interest payments at the contract rate to
prevent further debt accrual.
* Class 2 (Taxes): Installment payments to Grayson County and
Van Alstyne ISD.
The Debtor shall continue to prosecute the $157,000 claim against
Mal Technologies Fleet, LLC. 100% of net proceeds (after legal
fees) shall be dedicated to Class 5 (General Unsecured Vendors) to
ensure they are made whole even if the real estate hits the lower
end of the valuation scale.
A full-text copy of the First Modified Plan dated June 4, 2026 is
available at https://urlcurt.com/u?l=lYC8CS from PacerMonitor.com
at no charge.

ADONAI CONGREGATE: Unsecureds Will Get 2% of Claims over 5 Years
----------------------------------------------------------------
Adonai Congregate Living, Inc. filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Central District of California a Plan of Reorganization for
Small Business dated June 4, 2026.
The Debtor is an S-corporation and was incorporated on June 12,
2012. The Debtor's principal is Syuzanna Mnatsakanyan, who is the
CEO and a 100% equity security holder.
The Debtor currently and historically generates income from
operating two congregate living facilities in Northridge and Van
Nurs, California. The Debtor provides 24-hour skilled nursing,
medical supervision and rehabilitative care in a residential home
setting.
The final Plan payment is expected to be paid on October 2031
(estimated).
The Debtor's general unsecured creditors are classified in Class 3.
The total amount of the allowed general unsecured claims in Class 3
is $1,698,740.23 and includes the undersecured portion of the SBA's
claim. Based on the liquidation analysis and the income valuation
of the Debtor's assets, the holders of allowed general unsecured
claims in Class 3 shall receive an estimated 2% pro-rata
distribution through the plan.
The distribution to allowed general unsecured claims will be made
monthly, with the first payment of $566.23 due on the effective
date, followed by 59 consecutive payments, each in the amount of
$566.23, to be paid pro-rata to each holder of allowed unsecured
claim.
The equity security holder of the Debtor is Syuzanna Mnatsakanyan.
She does not hold a pre-petition or a post-petition claim against
the Debtor. She will retain her 100% equity interest in the
Debtor.

income source and the expense for the next 5 years. The Debtor
intends to fund its plan from the continued operation of its
business.

ALACHUA GOVERNMENT: Creditors to Get Proceeds from Liquidation
--------------------------------------------------------------
Alachua Government Services, Inc., filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Delaware a Combined Disclosure Statement
and Plan of Liquidation dated June 3, 2026.
The Debtor's corporate predecessor was founded in 1999 to research
and utilize applications of nanometer-scale particle technology to
develop new drug delivery technologies and increase the efficacy of
existing drugs.
In October 2017, the ADM Facility opened at the Alachua Site and
was subsequently expanded in 2020 to include "Building G", a
92,000-square foot facility designed to expand the manufacturing
facilities of the ADM Facility. The Alachua Site was designed as a
state-of-the art development, testing, and manufacturing facility.
In February 2020, the Debtor was awarded a contract from the U.S.
government to develop an advanced monoclonal antibody therapy
against COVID-19.
The Debtor is a Delaware corporation. The Debtor is wholly owned by
AGS Holdco, LLC, and is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
National Resilience Parent, both of which are not debtors in this
(or any other) chapter 11 case. The Debtor is controlled by and
acts through a board of directors comprised solely of the
Independent Director, who was appointed on June 30, 2025 to oversee
the Debtor's winddown and Chapter 11 Case. In addition, on July 3,
2025, Janet R. Naifeh of FTI was appointed as the CRO to assist the
Independent Director with the Debtor's winddown and Chapter 11
Case.
With the drop off in business from the government and limited
commercial alternatives, a lack of additional funding, no ability
to consummate any transaction, and no corresponding decline in
overhead expense, the Debtor determined that filing for chapter 11
protection and winding down its business was the only viable path
forward.
As a result of the prepetition marketing process failing to result
in any going concern bids, in June 2025, the Debtor, with the
assistance of Jefferies, began seeking alternative sale proposals
from interested parties for the Debtor's Assets, including the
Alachua Site Assets and the Royalty Assets. After receiving 3
Qualified Bids and consulting with the Consultation Parties, the
Debtor determined that an auction conducted pursuant to the Alachua
Site Assets Bidding Procedures Order was the best course to
maximize the value of the Alachua Site Assets.
On October 8, 2025, the Debtor held the auction with respect to the
Alachua Site Assets. After multiple rounds of bidding, Strive's bid
of $11,500,000.00 for the Alachua Site Assets was declared the
Successful Bid and Blue Marlin's bid of $11,250,000.00 for the
Alachua Site Assets was declared the back up bid. On October 17,
2025, the Bankruptcy Court approved the sale of the Alachua Site
Assets to Strive pursuant to the Alachua Site Assets Sale Order.
The sale of the Alachua Site Assets to Strive closed on October 31,
2025.
With respect to the Royalty Assets, Jefferies solicited interest
from 47 potential financial and strategic buyers. After receiving 2
Qualified Bids and consulting with the Consultation Parties, the
Debtor determined that an auction conducted pursuant to the Royalty
Assets Bidding Procedures Order was the best course to maximize the
value of the Royalty Assets.
On January 29, 2026, the Debtor held the auction with respect to
the Royalty Assets. After multiple rounds of bidding, OrbiMed's bid
of $16,000,000.00 for the Royalty Assets was declared the
Successful Bid and Emergent's bid of $15,000,000.00 for the Royalty
Assets was declared the back-up bid. On February 10, 2026, the
Bankruptcy Court approved the sale of the Royalty Assets to OrbiMed
pursuant to the Royalty Assets Sale Order. The sale to OrbiMed
closed on February 13, 2026.
In October of 2025, discussions began in earnest regarding the
terms of a global settlement between the Debtor, Resilience, and
the Committee (collectively, the "Global Settlement Parties").
Following months of hard-fought negotiations, including following
the filing of the Standing Motion, the Global Settlement Parties
reached an agreement to settle all potential Claims and Causes of
Actions against Resilience and certain of the Debtor's former
officers and directors in exchange for valuable consideration (the
"Global Settlement").
The Combined Disclosure Statement and Plan provides for the
Distribution of the Debtor's Assets already liquidated or to be
liquidated over time to the Holders of Allowed Claims in accordance
with the terms of the Combined Disclosure Statement and Plan and
the priority of claims provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. Except as
otherwise provided by Order of the Bankruptcy Court, Distributions
will occur on the Effective Date or as soon thereafter as is
practicable, and at various intervals thereafter.
Class 6 consists of General Unsecured Claims. Except to the extent
that a Holder of a General Unsecured Claim agrees to a less
favorable or different treatment, on, or as soon as reasonably
practicable after, the later of the Effective Date or the date such
General Unsecured Claim becomes an Allowed General Unsecured Claim,
each Holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim shall receive, in
full and final satisfaction, settlement, and release, and in
exchange for such Allowed General Unsecured Claim:
* its Pro Rata share of the Liquidation Trust Series A
Interests; and
* each Holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim that makes
the Cash Recovery Election shall also receive its Pro Rata share of
the Liquidation Trust Series B Interests.
Class 6 is Impaired. Allowed General Unsecured Claims in Class 6
are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Combined Disclosure
Statement and Plan.
Class 9 consists of Equity Interests in the Debtor. On the
Effective Date, all Equity Interests in the Debtor shall be
cancelled and released without any Distribution or retention of any
property on account of such Equity Interests.
On the Effective Date, the Liquidation Trustee shall sign the
Liquidation Trust Agreement and, in his, her, or its capacity as
Liquidation Trustee, accept all Liquidation Trust Assets, and be
authorized to obtain, collect, seek the turnover of, liquidate, and
collect all of the Liquidation Trust Assets not in its possession
or control. The Liquidation Trust will then be created and
effective without any further action by the Bankruptcy Court or any
Person as of the Effective Date.
The Liquidation Trust shall be established for the primary purpose
of liquidating the Liquidation Trust Assets and making
Distributions in accordance with the Combined Disclosure Statement
and Plan and the Liquidation Trust Agreement, with no objective to
continue or engage in the conduct of a trade or business, except
only in the event and to the extent necessary to, and consistent
with, the liquidating purpose of the Liquidation Trust. After the
Effective Date, the Liquidation Trust Agreement may be amended in
accordance with its terms without further Order of the Bankruptcy
Court.

ALBERTSONS COS: S&P Affirms 'BB+' ICR, Outlook Stable
-----------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings affirmed all of its ratings on U.S.-based food
retailer Albertsons Cos. Inc. (ACI), including the 'BB+' issuer
credit rating.
The stable outlook reflects S&P's expectation that Albertsons will
progress on its transformation initiatives, including digital
expansion, sharper cost control, and increased store productivity.
These support consistent earnings and free cash flow generation,
keeping S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage below 4x.
S&P expects ACI's operating performance to remain generally
stable.
It continues to undertake cost-saving and productivity initiatives
to fund investments in its stores, prices and e-commerce
capabilities to improve its overall customer value proposition amid
the current competitive environment.
S&P said, "We anticipate capital allocation priorities will remain
balanced and forecast S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage
remaining below 4x.
"Productivity improvements will support modest EBITDA growth over
the next 12 to 24 months. In our view, Albertsons should generate
stable earnings and cash flow this year as it enhances its customer
value proposition and improves its operating efficiency.
Initiatives include growing private label brands, modernizing
stores, expanding its food service offerings and strengthening its
digital business. We expect these to drive low-single-digit percent
same-store sales growth over the next two years."
Additionally, the company has identified $2 billion in multiyear
savings across store operations and supply chain. Albertsons is
deploying AI technology to reduce shrink, sharpen pricing and
promotions, improve inventory forecasting and availability, and
optimize labor scheduling. S&P believes these productivity savings,
along with benefits from the company's shift to buying nationally,
will fund growth investments and manage cost inflation.
S&P said, "We expect Albertsons will operate effectively in an
increasingly competitive environment due to its scale, digital
capabilities, and enhanced store offerings. Revenue increased to
$83.2 billion in fiscal 2025 (ended Feb. 28, 2026), with pharmacy
and digital orders driving identical sales growth of 2%. Digital
investments--such as adding AI features and hastening delivery
speeds--have strengthened its e-commerce, with roughly 10% of total
sales now online. Furthermore, Albertsons' solid portfolio of owned
brands, which generated nearly $17 billion in sales in fiscal 2025,
remains a key competitive strength in our view. Though its overall
sales mix penetration has remained relatively flat at around 25%
over the last few years, while other grocers have expanded their
mix."
Still, grocery units remain negative, consistent with industry
trends, as value-focused consumers are more selective and food
spending shifts to nontraditional players. Discounters, online, and
club stores continue to take market share from conventional grocers
as their strong value propositions across price and convenience
have resonated with consumers.
Pharmacy pricing headwinds will also challenge revenue growth this
year due to the Inflation Reduction Act, which is also impacting
other food and drug retailers, as well as lapping a 53rd week in
fiscal 2025. In addition, the operating environment remains
fiercely competitive and price investments appear to be
accelerating across the industry as retailers battle for market
share.
Albertsons' customer base skews more towards the middle and
upper-income cohorts, which have remained resilient. However,
higher pressure on lower-income households has cut down basket size
and customers shopping across more retailers as they seek deals.
S&P expects volume pressures and fierce competition to persist,
requiring Albertsons to leverage its merchandising, promotional
capabilities, and technology enhancements to retain market share.
S&P expects S&P Global Ratings-adjusted EBITDA margin to remain
5.5%-6% over the next two years. Adjusted EBITDA margin compressed
roughly 20 basis points (bps) in fiscal 2025 to 5.5% from the prior
year as gross margin pressure from channel mix and price
investments offset savings from the company's productivity
initiatives. Increasing pharmacy and digital sales will continue to
weigh on margins but should incrementally improve as they grow in
scale and efficiency.
S&P said, "We expect growing savings from productivity initiatives,
as well as increasing contributions from its retail media business,
to mitigate pressure from price investments and channel mix. Our
base-case forecast could be challenged if price competition
intensifies or macroeconomic conditions deteriorate, increasing
consumer stress.
"We expect leverage will be maintained below 4x. S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted leverage was 3.9x as of Feb. 28, 2026, unchanged
from the prior fiscal year as steady EBITDA and lower nonfunded
debt obligations offset higher debt balances. This compares to a
reported company-defined net debt ratio of 2.24x, up from 1.88x in
the prior-year period, largely due to higher debt balances. We
anticipate Albertsons to maintain this adjusted leverage as it
balances its capital allocation priorities: reinvesting in its
business, paying a dividend that increases over time, and
opportunistically repurchasing shares while maintaining a strong
balance sheet."
Albertsons owns or ground leases 39% of its stores and 51% of its
distribution centers, warehouses, and manufacturing plants. The
company's valuable real estate portfolio, last appraised at $14.3
billion in July 2025, is a key underpinning of its value given the
quality of its sites, as well as the benefits to its cost
structure.
S&P said, "Our debt adjustment includes our estimate of Albertsons'
share of the underfunded portion of the multiemployer pension plans
(MEPP) it contributes to, resulting in a tax-adjusted amount of
$1.3 billion (approximately 0.3x of leverage as of Feb. 28, 2026).
Approximately 68% of Albertsons' work force is unionized, with the
company contributing to 28 MEPPs, the majority of which are
underfunded.
"While Albertsons' share of the funding deficit is not legally
funded debt, we believe it represents a potential future call on
cash. This adjustment is applied consistently across peers and
other corporate entities that have exposure to underfunded MEPPs.
The company's share of underfunding has narrowed significantly in
recent years as the majority of the plans it contributes to have
received or been approved to receive special financial
assistance--a component of the 2021 American Rescue Plan Act--in
the form of a one-time cash payment (not subject to repayment)
needed to pay unreduced pension benefits through 2051.
"We apply a negative comparable rating analysis modifier to
Albertsons, reflecting our view that its S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted credit metrics fall on the weaker end of the
significant range.
"We forecast Albertsons will generate reported free operating cash
flow (FOCF) of approximately $800 million in fiscal 2026, up from
$473 million in fiscal 2025 as improvements in working capital
efficiency offset higher capex and opioid settlement cash
outflows." The company increased its capex guidance to $2
billion-$2.2 billion this year to support its plans to accelerate
store remodels and new store openings, strengthen the supply chain,
and enhance its technology and digital capabilities.
S&P said, "However, ongoing capital returns to shareholders, which
we forecast to exceed $900 million between dividends and $600
million in share repurchases in fiscal 2026, will more than consume
its FOCF.
"The stable outlook reflects our expectation that Albertsons will
progress on its transformation initiatives, including digital
expansion, sharper cost control, and increased store productivity,
supporting consistent earnings and free cash flow generation. The
stable outlook also reflects our expectation that S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted leverage will sustain below 4x."
S&P could lower its ratings if Albertsons sustains S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted leverage above 4.25x, which could occur if:
-- Operating performance deteriorates, including contracting
same-store sales and margins, caused by a worsening macroeconomic
environment, intensifying competition, or operational miscues; or
-- The company adopts a more aggressive financial policy,
including incurring debt to fund shareholder returns or
acquisitions.
In S&P's view, an investment-grade rating for Albertsons is
unlikely over the next 12 months because of its forecasted credit
protection metrics, as well as macroeconomic uncertainty and
intensifying industry competition. However, S&P could upgrade
Albertsons to 'BBB-' if:
-- S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage improves to 3.5x or below
on an ongoing basis and the company commits to a clear financial
policy that maintains leverage at this level; and
-- The company executes on its priorities, including improving
productivity and strengthening its value proposition with
customers, which supports stable market share, EBITDA growth, and
solid cash flow.

ANR INSULATION: Unsecureds to Get Less Than 2% of Claims in Plan
----------------------------------------------------------------
ANR Insulation, LLC filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Arizona a Disclosure Statement to accompany Plan of
Reorganization dated June 3, 2026.
The Debtor is a commercial insulation installer that installs all
types of insulation, including fiberglass, foam, cellulose, and
rigid boards.
The Debtor was formed in June 2020 to acquire the assets of King
Insulation of Arizona, LLC, and, in August 2020, the Debtor
purchased King Insulation's assets, financed by a secured
promissory note to King Insulation in the original amount of
$3,375,000, and began its business operations.
From 2023 through the middle of 2025, in connection with liquidity
issues the Debtor was facing, the Debtor obtained funding from
multiple merchant cash advance lenders. Most of the MCA Lenders
filed junior UCC-1s with respect to the Debtor's accounts and
payment intangibles.
The MCA Lenders include Alternative Funding Group, Highland Hill
Capital LLC, Libertas Funding, Bluevine, Epic Advance (FastCash),
Spring Funding, Revenued, Headway Capital, Coconut Funding, and
Funding Futures (the "MCA Lenders"). Throughout 2024 and 2025, the
Debtor experienced substantial liquidity difficulties. These
difficulties were primarily caused by a combination of declining
revenue, significant debt-servicing costs associated with the MCA
loans, ongoing payroll obligations, and payments to prior secured
creditors.
Faced with the impending foreclosure that would have wiped out
substantially all of its assets and terminated its business, the
Debtor filed its voluntary Chapter 11 petition on December 7, 2025.
The Debtor filed this bankruptcy case to restructure its
obligations and to ensure the maximum recovery for all of its
legitimate creditors.
Class 6 consists of General Unsecured Claims. Each Holder of an
Allowed General Unsecured Claim shall be entitled to receive Pro
Rata distributions of Net Disposable Income for a period of five
years. Starting on the 25th day of the month following the first
full calendar quarter following the Effective Date, and on the 25th
day of the month following each successive calendar quarter
thereafter for a total period of 20 calendar quarters, the
Reorganized Debtor shall disburse Net Disposable Income generated
from the Debtor's operations.
Class 6 is Impaired under the Plan. Holders of Allowed General
Unsecured Claims are entitled to vote on the Plan. The allowed
unsecured claims total $2,742,222.47. This Class will receive a
distribution of less than 2% of their allowed claims.
On the Effective Date, Holders of interests in Class 7 shall retain
their pre-petition interests in the Debtor. Ricardo Caceres, Angela
Crawford and Nicholas Wiggins shall retain their equity interests
in the Reorganized Debtor in exchange for the Equity Contribution
in accordance with Sections 1129(a) and (b) of the Bankruptcy
Code.
All payments under the Plan that are due on the Effective Date will
be funded from the Equity Contribution and the remaining Cash held
by the Reorganized Debtor as of the Effective Date. On the
Effective Date, the Holders of Equity Securities shall fund the
Equity Contribution in Cash.
The funds necessary to ensure continuing performance under the Plan
after the Effective Date will be funded from the Equity
Contribution and from the Reorganized Debtor's continuing operating
revenue.

ARCHDIOCESE OF BALTIMORE: Court Urges Targeted Talks in Chapter 11
------------------------------------------------------------------
Ben Zigterman of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that the
Archdiocese of Baltimore and a committee representing child sexual
abuse claimants were encouraged by a Maryland bankruptcy judge on
Monday, June 15, 2026, to seek mediation over a lingering dispute
in the church's Chapter 11 case. The judge suggested that a focused
mediation process could help resolve the issue more quickly than
courtroom proceedings.
Negotiations have continued as the parties work toward a plan that
would address abuse claims and other obligations. While progress
has been made, unresolved disagreements threaten to slow the path
toward confirmation of a restructuring plan, according to report.
The judge's comments underscore the court's preference for a
consensual outcome in the bankruptcy case. Mediation could provide
an opportunity for both sides to reach common ground and avoid
further delays in resolving claims against the archdiocese, the
report cites.

Debtor estimated assets between $100 million and $500 million and
liabilities between $500 million and $1 billion.

AVITA MEDICAL: Issues 500K-Share Warrant to Perceptive Credit

Company issued a warrant certificate to Perceptive Credit Holdings
V, LP to purchase up to an initial 500,000 shares of the Company's
common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at an exercise price of

will be registered pursuant to the Company's Registration Statement
on Form S-3 (File No. 333-294790) and a prospectus supplement filed

report dated February 12, 2026, attached to the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, citing
that the Company has current debt service obligations and has
incurred historical negative cash flows and recurring losses. These

BAXSTO LLC: Seeks Continued Cash Collateral Access
--------------------------------------------------
Baxsto, LLC asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District
of Texas, Austin Division, for authority to use cash collateral and
provide adequate protection.
The court previously entered a final order on March 4 authorizing
the use of cash collateral through June 18, 2026. Because the
Debtor continues to require access to these funds to operate and
administer its bankruptcy case, it requests that the court extend
that authorization through September 18, 2026, based on an updated
operating budget submitted with the request.
The Debtor outlines several changes reflected in the proposed
budget. First, Baxsto seeks to increase the weekly compensation of
Ashley Stout from $2,500 to $3,250. According to the Debtor, this
increase is necessary because Ms. Stout has incurred higher health
insurance costs for her children. Second, the Debtor proposes
increasing the weekly compensation of Asia Mack from $1,250 to
$1,750. The Debtor states that Ms. Mack has assumed additional
responsibilities, particularly relating to the preparation of the
Debtor's tax return, which justifies the higher compensation
level.
The request also addresses compensation for Kindred Financial, a
service provider that has apparently been assisting the Debtor
during the bankruptcy case. While the amount paid to Kindred
Financial would remain unchanged under the new budget, Baxsto
indicates that it intends to gradually eliminate this expense after
September 18, 2026, suggesting that the Debtor expects to reduce
its reliance on outside financial assistance as the case
progresses.
Additionally, the revised budget includes a new line item for legal
expenses totaling $25,000. The Debtor's bankruptcy counsel, Barron
& Newburger, P.C., intends to file a Second Interim Fee Application
seeking approval of professional fees incurred during the Chapter
11 case. Baxsto emphasizes that no payment of these attorney fees
will be made unless and until the Bankruptcy Court approves them,
and any payment will be limited strictly to the amount authorized
by the court.

BEASLEY BROADCAST: Implements Governance and Structural Provisions
------------------------------------------------------------------
Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc. announced in a regulatory filing that
it filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a
Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation to implement certain governance and structural
provisions in connection with the Company's entry into an Amended
and Restated Transaction Support Agreement, dated as of April 27,
2026, by and among the Company and certain debtholders. The Charter
Amendment became effective as of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 4,
2026.
The Charter Amendment added the following provisions to the
Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation:
(i) The Company shall not, and shall not authorize or permit
any of its affiliates to, initiate any insolvency or similar
proceeding, including, without limitation, any bankruptcy filing of
the Company or its affiliates, without the unanimous approval of
the Board of Directors, which shall for the avoidance of doubt
include the approval of the Initial 2L Supporting Holder Director
(or any successor Independent 2L Director so selected).
(ii) Upon receipt by the Company of a Notice of Conversion
delivered in accordance with the Transaction Support Agreement, the
Company shall effect the Equity Conversion by issuing shares of its
Class A Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and Class B
Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, to the holders entitled
thereto pursuant to Section 8(k) of the Transaction Support
Agreement, effective on the date that is the later of:
(A) the earlier of (x) December 31, 2027 (or the
Springing Maturity Date, as applicable) or (y) the date on which an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as determined in
accordance with Section 8(o) of the Transaction Support Agreement,
or
(B) the date on which all required approvals of the
Federal Communications Commission and all other required
governmental or regulatory approvals in connection with the Equity
Conversion have been duly obtained and remain in full force and
effect.
2027 PIK Notes Indenture Provisions
The Charter Amendment also implements certain provisions of the
2027 PIK Notes Indenture, the operation of which may, at a
subsequent date, result in a change in control of the Company. On
May 1, 2026, Beasley Mezzanine Holdings, LLC, a direct, wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company, issued $98,475,254 in aggregate
principal amount of 10.000% Senior Secured Second Lien PIK Notes
due 2027 pursuant to an indenture, dated as of May 1, 2026.
At any time on or after December 31, 2027, or upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default (as defined in the 2027 PIK Notes
Indenture), holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the 2027 PIK Notes then outstanding may elect to convert
all outstanding 2027 PIK Notes into shares of the Company's Class A
Common Stock and the Company's Class B Common Stock.
Upon such Equity Conversion, subject to obtaining any required
regulatory approvals, all outstanding 2027 PIK Notes shall convert
into Conversion Shares representing, in the aggregate, 95% of the
issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class B Common
Stock (calculated on a fully diluted basis) immediately following
such conversion; provided that the conversion percentage shall be
reduced to 90%, 85% or 80%, respectively, if the Issuer has made
cash payments at par to holders in respect of principal of the 2027
PIK Notes equal to at least 85%, 90% or 95%, respectively, of the
original aggregate principal amount of 2027 PIK Notes issued on May
1, 2026 (without giving effect to any increase in principal amount
resulting from PIK Interest (as defined in the 2027 PIK Notes
Indenture)). The Equity Conversion is subject to obtaining prior
approval of the FCC and compliance with applicable FCC foreign
ownership rules.

Petersburg, FL.
Los Angeles, California-based Crowe LLP, the Company's auditor
since 2006, issued a "going concern" qualification in its report
dated April 8, 2026, attached to the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, citing that the
Company has a history of net losses and negative operating cash
flows, expects to continue to incur additional losses in the near
future and is currently in default on a portion of its debt that
raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $549.2 million in total
assets, $402 million in total liabilities, and $147.2 million in
total stockholders' equity.
BEAZER HOMES: S&P Rates New $400MM Unsecured Senior Notes 'B-'
--------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'B-' issue-level rating and '3'
recovery rating to Beazer Homes USA Inc.'s proposed $400 million
unsecured senior notes due in 2032. The '3' recovery rating
indicates S&P's expectation for meaningful (50%-70%; rounded
estimate: 60%) recovery in the event of a default.
S&P said, "We expect the company will use the net proceeds to
redeem the outstanding portion of the 5.875% senior unsecured notes
due 2027, as well as for fees, expenses, and general corporate
purposes. Approximately $33 million in cash on the balance sheet
will further strengthen its liquidity profile.
"Our 'B-' issuer credit rating and negative outlook on Beazer Homes
are unchanged. We view the refinancing as a credit positive, as it
enhances the financial flexibility of the company and eliminates
any near-term refinancing needs."
BELLATX2023 LLC: Files Emergency Bid to Use Cash Collateral
-----------------------------------------------------------
Bellatx2023, LLC asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of Texas, Galveston Division for authority to use the cash
collateral of its secured creditor, WaFd Bank.
The Debtor has no alternative sources of financing and needs access
to cash collateral to continue day-to-day operations. The requested
funds would be used to cover essential operating expenses, maintain
its apartment complex, and support ongoing business activities
while it reorganizes and develops a Chapter 11 repayment plan.
The proposed budget outlines three months of projected expenses
necessary to sustain operations during the restructuring process.
To protect the secured lender's interests, the Debtor proposes
granting WaFd Bank post-petition liens, priority claims, and future
cash flow payments beginning in September. The Debtor argues that
these protections adequately safeguard the lender while allowing
continued operations.
A court hearing is scheduled for June 18.

BIG BATCH: Gets Interim OK to Use Cash Collateral
-------------------------------------------------
Big Batch Enterprises, LLC 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 the cash
collateral of Dime Saving Bank through July 4 based on an approved
operating budget, subject to a variance of up to 5% on individual
budget line items.
Dime, which holds a perfected blanket lien on the Debtor's assets,
will be provided with adequate protection through a monthly payment
of $1,000 and replacement liens on the Debtor's assets similar to
its pre-petition collateral, with the same validity and priority as
its pre-petition lien. These replacement liens do not apply to
Chapter 5 avoidance actions and any proceeds derived from such
actions.
Both the Debtor and Dime preserve all rights regarding future
challenges, objections, requests for additional protection, and
disputes concerning lien validity.
The order also includes a carve-out for U.S. Trustee fees and up to
$10,000 in Chapter 7 trustee fees if the Debtor's case is converted
to Chapter 7.
A copy of the Debtor's budget is available at
https://shorturl.at/vlONM from PacerMonitor.com.
A final hearing is scheduled for July 1, with objections due by
June 25.
Big Batch Enterprises operates a pickleball facility in Riverhead,
New York, offering court rentals, memberships, and food and
beverage services.
The business was originally controlled by the Debtor's principal
shareholder, Pete Bachmore, who allegedly ignored requests for
financial transparency and operational updates. Current management
contends that Bachmore's actions contributed significantly to the
Debtor's insolvency. The Debtor alleges that substantial funds were
spent on questionable ventures, including efforts to organize a
pickleball event at Mohegan Sun, premature franchise development
initiatives, and expensive advertising and promotional arrangements
that generated little practical benefit. The Debtor further alleges
that Bachmore used company resources for personal benefits, family
members, and friends by providing free court time, complimentary
food, and excessive compensation to insiders, even as the business
struggled to pay rent and other obligations.
After reviewing the Debtor's finances, the remaining shareholders
discovered numerous unpaid obligations stemming from the facility's
original development and launch. Creditors included architects,
trainers, a former food and beverage director, and various vendors,
many of whom were threatening legal action. In response,
shareholders injected additional capital into the business. Two
investors contributed substantial new funding in exchange for
increased ownership interests, while Bachmore's ownership was
reduced to approximately one percent and he was removed from
management. Through these efforts, management paid outstanding
contractor and vendor claims and brought the business current on
nearly all obligations, leaving only about one month of rent in
arrears.
Current management then attempted to negotiate with the landlord to
use the security deposit to cure the remaining rent arrearage and
sought temporary rent concessions to help stabilize operations. At
the same time, management focused on completing unfinished projects
and correcting operational deficiencies inherited from prior
leadership. Particular attention was devoted to completing a
previously unfinished coffee shop buildout and overhauling the
underperforming restaurant operation, which had been a significant
source of financial losses.
The management has taken substantial steps to improve the
facility's prospects. The restaurant concept was redesigned through
a partnership with an established chef and food service provider.
The management also implemented marketing and promotional
initiatives after determining that little meaningful advertising
had been conducted previously. A coordinated strategy aimed at
increasing visibility, memberships, and customer traffic was
launched. The Debtor reports that it recently introduced an
unlimited membership program that has gained traction, attracting
approximately 120 members and generating increased recurring
revenue while also boosting ancillary sales.
Regarding secured debt, the Debtor identifies Dime, through an
SBA-backed loan originated in September 2023, as the Debtor's sole
secured creditor. The loan is secured by a blanket lien covering
all company assets, and approximately $1.3 million remained
outstanding as of the bankruptcy filing. The Debtor estimates that
the liquidation value of its assets is only about $200,000, making
Dime substantially undersecured.

Class A common stock equal to 20% or more of the Company's
outstanding Class A common stock in a non-public transaction or
series of transactions, as required by and in accordance with
Nasdaq Marketplace Listing Rule 5635(d).
* For: 1,007,829
* Against: 125,082
* Abstain: 56,051
* Broker Non-Votes: --
Adjournment of Meeting with Respect to Proposal 3
Proposal 3, which sought stockholder approval to amend the
Company's Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of
authorized shares of Class A common stock from 4,166,667 to
55,000,000, received a majority of the votes cast on the proposal.
However, approval of Proposal 3 requires the affirmative vote of
holders representing a majority of the voting power of the
Company's issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock,
rather than merely a majority of the votes cast at the Annual
Meeting. As a result, despite receiving majority support from the
votes cast, Proposal 3 did not obtain the requisite stockholder
approval at this time.
Accordingly, Michael Pope, Chairman of the Board, adjourned the
Annual Meeting solely with respect to Proposal 3 in order to
provide stockholders additional time to submit their votes. The
reconvened meeting for the purpose of considering Proposal 3 will
be held on July 7, 2026, at 12:30 p.m. Eastern Time, virtually via
the same meeting platform used for the Annual Meeting.
The Company's Board of Directors unanimously recommends that
stockholders vote "FOR" Proposal 3.

since 2025, issued a "going concern" qualification in its report
dated April 15, 2026, attached to the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, citing that the
Company has suffered recurring losses and negative cash flows from
operations, and may be unable to maintain compliance with financial
covenants required by its credit agreement that raise substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $97.5 million in total
assets, $996.3 million in total liabilities, and $1.3 million in
total stockholders' equity.
BRAND ARMY: Non-SAFE Unsecured Claims to Recover 39.7% in Plan
--------------------------------------------------------------
Brand Army, Inc., filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Central District of California a Plan of Reorganization under
Subchapter V dated June 3, 2026.
The Debtor was formed in 2020 and began operations in March 2021.
The Debtor is a female-led, turnkey, creator-first web-application
platform (the "Platform") built for ownership and direct
monetization of internet content by internet content creators (the
"Content Creators").
Through its Platform the Debtor provides a service pursuant to
which it is the conduit between Content Creators and parties paying
for their content (the "Content Purchasers"). Approximately 80% of
the payments made by Content Purchasers (the "Payments") is the
property of the Content Creators (the "Creator Funds") and,
therefore not property of the Estate pursuant to Section 541.
The Debtor must also show that it will have enough cash over the
life of the Plan to make the required Plan payments and operate its
businesses.
Here, the Plan will be funded from (1) cash on hand, (2) cash
received from payments on existing accounts receivable, (3) future
operating revenue, and (4) any funds received if there is a
Triggering Event during the three-year period of the Plan starting
on the Effective Date and ending three years thereafter.
Class 5 consists of Non-SAFE General Unsecured Claims. The allowed
unsecured claims total $2,761,587.39. In full and final
satisfaction of their Claims and any guaranties thereof, the
Holders of Allowed Non-SAFE General Unsecured Claims will share a
collective pot of $1,094,974, which will be disbursed on a
quarterly basis as set forth in the Plan Projections.
Upon payment of $1,094,974 to the Holders of Allowed Non-SAFE
General Unsecured Claims pursuant to this Plan, any guaranties of
the underlying Non-SAFE General Unsecured Claims shall be deemed to
be released and of no further force and effect. As set forth in the
Plan Projections and the Claims Chart, the Holders of Allowed Non
SAFE General Unsecured Claims are projected to receive a
distribution of 39.7% on their Claims (projected distributions in
the total amount of $1,094,974 on Allowed Non-SAFE General
Unsecured Claims divided by projected Allowed Non-SAFE General
Unsecured Claims in the amount of $2,761,587.39).
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, if there is a Triggering
Event during the three-year term of the Plan, then, to the extent
possible, when the Debtor obtains funds from any such Triggering
Event, the Debtor will pay any outstanding Allowed Claims in
accordance with the Triggering Event Waterfall. If, after paying
one of the senior Classes of Claims under the Triggering Event
Waterfall in full, the Debtor does not have sufficient funds to pay
the next Class of Claims in full, then that Class will share
remaining funds on a pro rata basis. If all Classes of Claims are
paid in full, then the Holders of Equity Interests will share
remaining funds on a pro rata basis.
Class 6 consists of SAFE General Unsecured Claims. The allowed
unsecured claims total $2,706,399. As discussed in this Plan, the
SAFE General Unsecured Claims are contingent Claims of the Holders
of SAFEs that do not have a right to payment unless there is a
Triggering Event. The Holders of the SAFEs will retain their SAFEs
and their contingent SAFE General Unsecured Claims and have SAFE
General Unsecured Claims against the Estate if there is a
Triggering Event.
If there is a Triggering Event during the three-year term of the
Plan, then, to the extent possible, when the Debtor obtains funds
from any such Triggering Event, the Debtor will pay any outstanding
Allowed Claims in accordance with the Triggering Event Waterfall.
If, after paying one of the senior Classes of Claims under the
Triggering Event Waterfall in full, the Debtor does not have
sufficient funds to pay the next Class of Claims in full, then that
Class will share remaining funds on a pro rata basis. If all
Classes of Claims are paid in full, then the Holders of Equity
Interests will share remaining funds on a pro rata basis.
If there is a Triggering Event after the three-year term of the
Plan, then the Holders of SAFEs shall be paid in accordance with
the terms of the SAFEs. The Holders of the SAFEs will retain their
rights under their SAFE in the event of an Equity Financing (as
defined in the SAFE).
The Plan will be funded from (1) cash on hand, (2) cash received
from payments on existing accounts receivable, (3) future operating
revenue, and (4) any funds received if there is a Triggering Event
during the three-year period of the Plan starting on the Effective
Date and ending three years thereafter.

BUNTING GRAPHICS: Seeks to Extend Plan Exclusivity to Aug. 12
-------------------------------------------------------------
Bunting Graphics, Inc., asked the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Western District of Pennsylvania to extend its exclusivity periods
to file a plan of reorganization and obtain acceptance thereof to
Aug. 12 and Sept. 3, 2026, respectively.
The Debtor maintains that sufficient cause exists for an extension
of the filing deadlines and the Exclusivity Periods.
First, the Debtor has been working with First National Bank of
Pennsylvania and other key stakeholders on various paths for a
successful reorganization. While these discussions are ongoing,
additional time is needed in order to propose a plan.
Second, the Debtor is employing Meridian Management Partners, LLC,
as Consultant for the Debtor-in-Possession to allow a third-party
professional to analyze any potential sale of the Debtor and
possibly procure a buyer.
Third, the Debtor is working to finalize the Liquidating Trust
documents that will accompany the Amended Chapter 11 Plan and
Disclosure Statement.
The Debtor asserts that its creditor will not be prejudiced by the
requested extensions. On the contrary, the Debtor's creditors will
be best served with an extension of the Exclusivity Periods.
The Debtor further asserts that it will continue to work in good
faith towards a resolution of all matters to provide for the best
path forward for the estate.

BYJU'S ALPHA: Court Upholds Contempt Order v. Camshaft, Morton
--------------------------------------------------------------
In the appeal styled BYJU'S ALPHA, INC. v. CAMSHAFT CAPITAL FUND,
LP; CAMSHAFT CAPITAL ADVISORS, LLC; CAMSHAFT CAPITAL MANAGEMENT,
LLC; RIJU RAVINDRAN; INSPILEARN LLC; and THINK AND LEARN PRIVATE
LIMITED CAMSHAFT CAPITAL FUND, LP; CAMSHAFT CAPITAL ADVISORS, LLC;
CAMSHAFT CAPITAL MANAGMENT, LLC; and WILLIAM MORTON, Appellants;
GLAS TRUST COMPANY LLC, Intervenor-Appellee, No. 25-1828 (3rd
Cir.), Judges Thomas Hardiman, Emil Bove and D. Michael Fisher of
the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit will
affirm the order of the United States District Court for the
District of Delaware upholding a contempt order in BYJU's Alpha,
Inc.'s bankruptcy proceeding.
Camshaft Capital Fund, LP, Camshaft Capital Advisors, LLC, Camshaft
Capital Management, LLC the Camshaft Entities), and the Fund's sole
officer, William Morton appeal the District Court's order.
BYJU's Alpha, Inc. (Alpha), a special purpose vehicle and
subsidiary of Indian conglomerate Think and Learn Private Limited,
along with its related entities, defaulted on a $1.2 billion loan.
A few weeks later, Alpha's sole director, Riju Ravindran, initiated
a series of monetary transfers totaling over $533 million to the
Camshaft Fund in exchange for an ownership interest. The assets
were later transferred to Inspilearn LLC, another subsidiary of
Think and Learn.
After Alpha defaulted on the loan, the lenders exercised
contractual rights to take control of that entity and oust
Ravindran. Alpha, under new management, soon learned
about the allegedly fraudulent transfers. It then filed for Chapter
11 protection and initiated this adversary proceeding against the
Camshaft Entities to recover the $533 million in the Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Delaware.
At the heart of the bankruptcy proceedings was the location and
control of the $533 million. The Bankruptcy Court doubted the
legitimacy of the Camshaft Fund.
The Bankruptcy Court issued an order granting Alpha's motion for
expedited discovery, which required the Camshaft Entities to
respond to Alpha's interrogatories about the location of the
missing half-a-billion dollars. The Camshaft Entities and Morton
failed to comply.
The Bankruptcy Court held the Camshaft Entities and Morton in
contempt. It ordered Morton's civil confinement and the Camshaft
Entities and Morton to each remit $10,000 for each day they
remained in contempt.
After the Bankruptcy Court entered its contempt order, the Camshaft
Entities and Morton appealed to the District Court. The District
Court held that the Camshaft Entities could not immediately appeal
the contempt order because they were parties to the ongoing
bankruptcy matter. It also held that the order was not an abuse of
discretion. The Camshaft Entities and Morton then filed this
appeal.
The panel holds, "We lack jurisdiction over the appeal as to the
Camshaft Entities because, as parties to the bankruptcy proceeding,
the civil contempt order against them was interlocutory."
Morton argues that the Bankruptcy Court did not hold an evidentiary
hearing or support its findings with any evidence before issuing
the contempt order. He contends that the Bankruptcy Court imposed
the harshest sanctions rather than considering the least coercive
sanctions necessary.
The panel says, "We disagree. Morton repeatedly refused to comply
with a discovery order relating to the missing $533 million and
even told the Court that he had no intention of complying.
Especially after multiple warnings, the Court was well within its
discretion to impose sanctions of this magnitude."

CHF-WENTWORTH INC: S&P Assigns 'BB+' Rating on 2026A/B Rev. Bonds
-----------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'BB+' long-term rating to
Massachusetts Development Finance Agency's $276.4 million
tax-exempt series 2026A, $370,000 taxable series 2026B, and $18.3
million tax-exempt subordinate series 2026C student housing revenue
bonds issued for Collegiate Housing Foundation Wentworth
Inc.–Wentworth Institute of Technology Pike Project (CHF
Wentworth or the borrower), the sole member of which is Collegiate
Housing Foundation.
The outlook is stable.
S&P said, "We analyzed the project's environmental, social, and
governance factors related to its market position and financial
performance. We found all factors to be neutral in our credit
rating analysis.
"The outlook reflects our expectation that construction of the new
student housing facility will progress on time and within budget.
"We would consider a negative rating action during the outlook
period if cost overruns or construction delays inhibit the
project's ability to open on time. Beyond the outlook period, we
would consider a negative rating action if occupancy is materially
weaker than projected, pressuring the projects' ability to meet
projected coverage.
"We do not expect to raise the rating or revise the outlook to
positive during the outlook period, as the project will be under
construction. Beyond the outlook period, an established trend of
strong occupancy and FCCR could lead to a positive rating action."

CONNECTICUT HEALTHCARE: Secures Chapter 15 Recognition
------------------------------------------------------
Clara Geoghegan of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that a Texas
bankruptcy court has recognized the Cayman Islands winding-up
proceedings of Connecticut Healthcare Insurance Company under
Chapter 15. The insurer, which is indirectly owned by Prospect
Medical Holdings, sought recognition to coordinate its foreign
insolvency with U.S. legal processes.
The company is currently undergoing liquidation abroad, with its
Cayman-appointed representatives overseeing the orderly wind-down
of assets and liabilities. The Chapter 15 order ensures that U.S.
courts will assist in supporting and enforcing the foreign
proceeding, the report relays.
The recognition enhances cooperation between jurisdictions and
helps centralize creditor communications as the insurer continues
its restructuring and liquidation efforts internationally,
according to report.

CONNECTM TECHNOLOGY: Says Blue Cloud Deal to Lift Equity to $18.8M
------------------------------------------------------------------
ConnectM Technology Solutions Inc. said Blue Cloud Softech
Solutions Limited received in-principle approval from BSE Limited,
the Indian stock exchange, for the planned issuance of 160 million
shares to ConnectM as part of Blue Cloud's acquisition of
ConnectM's India business, according to a press release furnished
with a Form 8-K filing.
The company said the approval clears the principal remaining
condition for Blue Cloud to issue 160 million equity shares to
ConnectM under a previously announced share swap agreement
involving ConnectM, AstraBridge Inc. and Blue Cloud.
Upon completion, ConnectM expects to record the Blue Cloud shares
as a $30.4 million investment and recognize a non-cash gain of
about $18.4 million attributable to ConnectM stockholders. On a pro
forma basis, the transaction is expected to lift stockholders'
equity to about $18.8 million from about $2 million.
The company said the expected pro forma equity level would be about
four times the $4 million to $5 million minimum required for
listing on a U.S. national exchange. The illustrative pro forma
balance sheet assumes the transaction closed June 2.
Blue Cloud shareholders approved the transaction May 4. ConnectM
said closing is anticipated by the third quarter of 2026 and that
the Blue Cloud shares it receives are expected to be subject to a
statutory lock-up period under Indian securities regulations.

CRANE ENTERPRISES: Cranes Lose Bid to Stay Bankruptcy Sale Order
----------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Denise Cote of the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of New York granted Crane Enterprises LLC's motion to
dismiss the appeal styled CRANE, et al., Appellants, -v- CRANE
ENTERPRISES LLC, Appellee, Case No. 26-cv-03960-DLC (S.D.N.Y.). The
appeal is dismissed as equitably moot.
The Debtor, Crane Enterprises LLC, is a New York limited liability
company that, prior to the consummation of the sale at issue in
this appeal, held 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, and a corresponding
proprietary lease to possess the Apartment. The Debtor is owned in
equal parts by the estates of sisters Rhoda Crane and Joyce Crane,
which both have court-appointed administrators.
After the deaths of Rhoda Crane and Joyce Crane, the Debtor
commenced an eviction action in New York state court to remove
Michael Crane from the Apartment. Although Michael produced an
alleged "lifetime lease" permitting him and his son Daniel to
reside in the Apartment indefinitely for $1 per year, the New York
state court rejected this "lifetime lease" defense and entered a
Judgment of Possession in the Debtor's favor and a Warrant of
Eviction against Michael on November 18, 2024.
On March 4, 2025, the Debtor filed a voluntary petition for relief
under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and, on March 5, 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 April 16, 2026, the Bankruptcy Court approved the sale of
the Apartment to a good-faith buyer. The Cranes failed to obtain a
stay of the April 16 Order and the sale was consummated on May 18.
On May 13, the Cranes appealed the Bankruptcy Court's Sale Order to
this Court, seeking reversal of the sale. On May 20, the Debtor
moved to dismiss the Cranes' May 13 appeal pursuant to Rule 8013 of
the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure.
According to the Court, their failure to diligently seek a stay of
that April 16 Order renders the request to vacate it now
inequitable.

CROCODILE: Exits Receivership After Sale to New Owner
-----------------------------------------------------
Egan Ward of Puget Sound Business Journal reports that The
Crocodile, one of Seattle's best-known live entertainment venues,
has exited receivership after being acquired by a new ownership
consortium led by Jimmy Miller. The sale follows a period of
financial strain that left the venue with roughly $1.6 million in
debt and prompted management to seek a court-supervised
restructuring process.
Located in Seattle's Belltown neighborhood, The Crocodile has long
been recognized as a cultural landmark within the Pacific Northwest
music scene. The venue pursued receivership as a means of
addressing creditor claims while preserving ongoing operations and
avoiding a bankruptcy filing, the report states.
The purchasing group includes interests associated with Upright
Citizens Brigade, Abso Lutely Productions, and Bottlerocket Social
Hall. According to company officials, the goal is to strengthen the
venue financially while preserving its legacy and connection to
Seattle's creative community, the report relays.
Management has stated that scheduled events, staffing, and
day-to-day operations will remain largely unchanged. In addition,
plans are being developed to bring renewed activity to portions of
the entertainment complex that were previously closed due to
financial challenges, according to Puget Sound Business Journal.
About The Crocodile
The Crocodile, a renowned Seattle music venue.
The Company entered a court-supervised receivership in 2025 after
accumulating approximately $1.6 million in debt. Financial
pressures stemming from declining attendance, weaker beverage
sales, and rising operating costs contributed to the venue's
distress.
Attorney Dominique Scalia was selected as receiver and quickly
began working with stakeholders and prospective buyers. The goal
was to stabilize the business and identify a buyer capable of
continuing the venue's legacy.
The receivership concluded in 2026 with the sale of The Crocodile
to a new ownership group led by entertainment industry executives.
The transaction preserved more than 100 jobs and allowed the iconic
venue to continue operating under its established brand.
CYTOPHIL INC: Unsecureds to Get $600K to $750K per Year for 5 Years
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Cytophil, Inc., filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Eastern District of Wisconsin a Disclosure Statement describing
Plan of Reorganization dated June 4, 2026.
The Debtor is a Delaware corporation, headquartered and operating
in East Troy, Wisconsin. The Debtor was founded in 2005 by Dr.
William "Bill" Hubbard.
The Debtor took its first product to market in 2014. The Debtor
manufactures medical devices for vocal, orthopedic, dental, and
aesthetic implants. It also performs contract manufacturing for
other medical device companies. For many years the Debtor operated
a profitable business with domestic and international sales.
The Debtor's financial problems first arose from the disruption to
the supply chain caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Those problems
were compounded by a costly litigation on two fronts. First, the
Debtor was dragged into an intellectual property lawsuit which
resulted in more than a million dollars in attorney's fees for the
Debtor. In addition, the Debtor had a lawsuit with a consulting
firm, Health Policy Associates ("HPA") over invoicing. The Debtor
engaged HPA in June 2017 to advise it on regulatory filings. The
litigation over the invoices commenced in 2018.
The Debtor could not afford to continue to litigate and in 2023 a
judgment was entered in favor of HPA in the amount of $583,823.94.
HPA domesticated the judgment in Wisconsin and commenced collection
efforts. The Debtor did not have cash to pay the judgment and its
other creditors in the ordinary course. On February 5, 2025, the
Debtor filed a voluntary petition under chapter 11 of the Code to
preserve its value as a going concern and repay creditors through a
plan of reorganization.
Throughout the Case, the Debtor has continued to operate as a
debtor-in-possession. Exhibit A contains an estimated yearly
financial pro forma for the Debtor for the Plan. Exhibit A was
prepared by the Debtor based on historical performance, current
performance, and expected future events. The Debtor projects that
it will have sufficient net income on an annual basis to fund
payments under the Plan. The final Plan payment is expected to be
paid ten years after the Effective Date.
The Debtor and InHealth are finalizing the terms of a new five-year
exclusive distribution agreement for the Renu(R) platform in the
United States and Canada. Under the proposed terms, the transfer
price will increase from the current level for Renu(R) Voice and $
Renu(R) Gel at approximately 25% per unit. These improved
commercial terms, combined with InHealth's projected unit volume
increase of 58%, form the foundation of the pro forma financial
projections supporting the Plan.
Class 1 consists of Allowed General Unsecured Creditors. Allowed
Claims of Creditors in Class 1 consist of Allowed Unsecured Claims
without priority. After Opt-In elections, and resolution of claim
objections, the Debtor estimates that the total amount for all
Class 1 Creditors will be in the range of $3,500,000 to $3,000,000.
Claimants shall receive their pro rata share of annual
disbursements of $600,000 to $750,000 for five years. It is
projected that Class 1 Claimants shall be paid in full.
Class 2 consists Opt-In Allowed Unsecured Claims. Allowed Claims of
Creditors in Class 2 consist of Allowed Unsecured Claims in Class 1
that affirmatively elect or opt-in to Class 2. The Class 2 claims
will have half (50%) of their Allowed Unsecured Claim treated under
Class 1. The remaining half (50%) will receive a pro-rata share of
New Class B Common Stock. The New Class B Common Stock will be
entitled to 10% of the entire voting rights; 25% of the Reorganized
Debtor's Net Profits; and to elect one director on the board of
directors.
The New Class B Common Stock may be redeemed upon the aggregate of
the payments made on account of the New Class B Common Stock being
redeemed totaling the portion of the amount of the Allowed Claim
converted to the New Class B Common Stock being redeemed plus
interest at the rate of 5% per annum from the Effective Date. The
redemption right is void after ten years from the Effective Date.
Class 3 consists of Allowed Voting Common Stock Interests. The
holders voting common stock interests in the Debtor shall be
cancelled. New Class A Common Stock shall be issued equal to the
same number of shares held before the Petition Date. The New Class
A Common Stock will be entitled: 90% of the entire voting rights;
and 75% of the Reorganized Debtor's Net Profits.
The Plan depends on the Debtor's business operations, primarily ENT
products Renu(R) Voice and Renu(R) Gel, under a distribution
agreement with InHealth. The Plan relies on the new exclusive
distribution agreement under significantly improved commercial
terms.

DANIEL YOON: Court Affirms Summary Judgment in K.S. Aviation Case
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In the appeal styled DAN YOON, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. K.S. AVIATION
INC., et al., Defendants-Appellants, Case No. 25-cv-04076-MMC (N.D.
Cal.), Judge Maxine M. Chesney of the U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of California affirmed the Bankruptcy Court's:
(1) grant of summary judgment against John Yoon and K.S. and in
favor of plaintiff-appellee Dan Yoon in the amount of $260,514.18,
and
(2) judgment against Xing Kong and Xin Han and in favor of Dan
Yoon for that same amount.
Before the Court is defendants-appellants John Yoon, K.S. Aviation,
Inc., Xing Kong Aviation Service, LLC, and Xin Han Aviation, LLC's
appeal from the judgment entered in the action by the Bankruptcy
Court on April 16, 2025.
Dan and John jointly owned K.S., a corporation with two
subsidiaries: Sierra Academy of Aeronautics, which operated a
flight training school, and Sierra Air Center Development, LLC,
which operated a nascent EB-5 program. In July 2014, Sierra Air
took out two loans, namely, a $1.5 million loan from Bank of the
West ("BOTW") and a $1.543 million U.S. Small Business
Administration loan from the Bay Area Employment Development
Company ("BAED"). Both loans were secured by a flight simulator,
and Dan personally guaranteed the loans.
Shortly thereafter, Dan and John's business relationship
deteriorated, and on June 29, 2015, Dan sought to terminate John's
employment, resulting in litigation unrelated to
the instant action. Making matters worse, in June 2016, Sierra Air
defaulted on the BOTW and BAED loans secured by the flight
simulator, leading BOTW to file, in July 2016 in Alameda County
Superior Court, a lawsuit seeking to collect on its defaulted
loan.
On September 2, 2016, Dan and John reached a settlement agreement
(the "Agreement") resolving the litigation between them as well as
addressing Dan's personal guarantees of the now-defaulted loans,
which guarantees were causing Dan "significant financial stress."
Specifically, as to the litigation, Dan agreed to resign from K.S.,
relinquish his ownership in K.S. and Sierra Academy, and return all
corporate property to K.S.; in exchange, John and K.S. surrendered
their interests in Sierra Air, agreed to pay back personal loans to
Dan, and arranged for K.S. to make scheduled payments to Dan based
on K.S.'s meeting financial benchmarks in the future. As to the
guarantees, Dan agreed and recognized that the simulator facility
and its contents are not part of the EB-5 regional investment
program" and thus belong to K.S., and, in recognition of Dan's
agreement that K.S. owns the simulator facility and its contents,
John and K.S. agreed to indemnify Dan should the loans for said
items become delinquent and the creditors seek enforcement against
Dan.
In BOTW's lawsuit to collect on its loan secured by the flight
simulator, the Alameda County Superior Court appointed a receiver
to take control of the simulator and sell it for the benefit of
BOTW and to the extent funds were available, for BAED. (After the
flight simulator was sold, an outstanding balance of $260,514.18
remained on the BAED loan. All the while, Dan was failing to
fulfill his obligation in the Agreement to turn over his shares in
K.S. to John, while K.S. allegedly was failing to pay back the
personal loans Dan had made to the company. On March 2, 2017, Dan
filed the instant lawsuit in Merced County Superior Court, seeking
to collect on the loans he had made to K.S. in prior years.
In August 2017, Chen Zhao entered the picture. In particular, John
and Zhao negotiated a stock purchase agreement whereby John agreed
to sell K.S. to Zhao. Zhao then began operating K.S. and Sierra
Academy under the name Xing Kong and formed Xin Han to hold title
for the aircraft acquired and used by Xing Kong.
On March 4, 2020, while the instant case was proceeding in state
court, Dan removed it to the Bankruptcy Court for the Northern
District of California, where he and his wife, Jeenee, had filed
for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. In the bankruptcy proceeding,
BAED filed a $260,514.18 unsecured proof of claim based on Dan's
guarantee of the loan.
In the operative complaint, the Fourth Amended Complaint, filed
after the case was removed to bankruptcy court, Dan claimed, inter
alia, that John and K.S. were obligated under the Agreement to
indemnify him for loans, including the BAED loan, made to purchase
the flight simulator, and that Xing Kong, Xin Han, and Zhao, were
liable for any judgment entered against K.S.
On December 23, 2022, Dan filed a motion for summary judgment
against John and K.S. on his indemnification claim, on the asserted
grounds that:
(1) there was no dispute the BAED loan was used to purchase the
flight simulator and
(2) his failure to turn over his K.S. shares was not a condition
precedent to John and K.S.'s obligation to indemnify.
On March 13, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court granted the motion as to
the above issues.
As relevant to the instant appeal, Dan sought to hold defendants
Xing Kong, Xin Han, and Zhao liable on any judgment against K.S.
under an alter ego or successor liability theory.
On April 16, 2025, the Bankruptcy Court entered judgment in favor
of Dan against John, K.S., Xing Kong, and Xin Han in the amount of
$260,514.18. Based on its findings, set forth in a Memorandum
Decision, the Bankruptcy Court held Xing Kong liable as a successor
to K.S., finding the evidence at trial established conclusively
that Xing Kong and K.S. are not separate entities and recourse to
K.S. is unavailable. The Bankruptcy Court also found Xing Kong and
Xin Han liable as alter egos of K.S.
Thereafter, John, K.S., Xing Kong, and Xin Han appealed. In
particular, defendant-appellants challenge the Bankruptcy Court's:
(1) findings in support of summary judgment that (a) no material
dispute of fact existed as to whether the BAED loan was used to
purchase the flight simulator, and, consequently, that said loan
was covered by John and K.S.'s agreement to indemnify Dan, and that
(b) the Agreement's provision to indemnify was independent of Dan's
obligation to turn over his K.S. shares; and
(2) findings at trial that K.S. was unable to satisfy the
judgment against it, and, consequently, that (a) Xing Kong is
liable as K.S.'s successor, and that (b) Xing Kong and Xin Han are
liable as K.S.'s alter egos.
The District Court concludes the Bankruptcy Court did not err in
granting summary judgment in favor of Dan and against John and K.S.
According to the District Court, Xing Kong and Xin Han's assertion
that the four planes to which K.S. retain title are sufficient to
satisfy the judgment is devoid of support in the record.
This Court cannot find the Bankruptcy Court's determination that it
would be inequitable not to impose alter ego liability is clearly
erroneous. Accordingly, the Bankruptcy Court did not err in
granting judgment in favor of Dan and against Xing Kong and Xin Han
as alter egos of K.S.
Based on the record before it, the Bankruptcy Court concluded K.S.
has few assets, has no current operations or ability to operate and
is simply a shell of a corporation. In challenging that conclusion,
Xing Kong, as noted, does not point to any evidence in the trial
record ascribing a value to the planes, let alone a value
sufficient to satisfy the judgment. Giving such record, this Court
cannot find the Bankruptcy Court's determination as to the
unavailability of recourse is clearly erroneous. Accordingly, the
Bankruptcy Court did not err in granting judgment in favor of Dan
and against Xing Kong as a successor to K.S.

DANSKAMMER ENERGY: Seeks Chapter 11 After Scrapping Revamp Plan
---------------------------------------------------------------
Clara Geoghegan of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that Hudson
Valley power producer Danskammer Energy LLC has sought Chapter 11
protection in Delaware after years of uncertainty following the
collapse of a proposed redevelopment project. The company had
planned to replace its existing plant with a modern natural gas
facility, but the effort encountered legal challenges, regulatory
obstacles and strong opposition from environmental advocates.
According to bankruptcy filings, the company faces financial
difficulties that have made a court-supervised restructuring
necessary. Danskammer said Chapter 11 will provide an opportunity
to stabilize operations, preserve asset value and evaluate
potential transactions or restructuring alternatives.
The bankruptcy case follows the company's decision in 2024 to
withdraw its redevelopment proposal after New York regulators
denied required approvals. With the project abandoned, Danskammer
has been left to manage an aging facility while navigating changing
energy market conditions and significant financial obligations, the
report states.
About Danskammer Energy LLC
Danskammer Energy LLC is a New York-based energy company focused on
electric power generation. The company operates the Danskammer
power plant on the Hudson River and provides generation capacity to
support the state's energy infrastructure and wholesale electricity
markets.

Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 26-10954) on June 10,
2026. In its petition, the Debtor reports estimated assets and
liabilities between $10 million and $50 million each.

DAREN C. DALY: Court Upholds Disallowance of Daly, et al. Claim
---------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Melissa Damian of the U.S. District Court for the Southern
District of Florida denied the motion of Patrick Daly, Elizabeth
Daly, and All Paving and Sealcoating, LLC ("Appellants") for
rehearing of the order dismissing their appeal in the adversary
proceeding they filed against against Daren C. Daly.
The order, entered on November 22, 2023, by the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of Florida determined that Daren C.
Daly ("Appellee" or "Debtor"), owns all 100 shares of All Paving,
Inc., sustaining Appellee's objection to Appellants' proof of
claim, and disallowing Appellants' claim against Appellee in the
underlying adversary proceeding.
Appellee filed a motion to dismiss on April 10, 2024, seeking to
dismiss the appeal as equitably moot. However, before the Court
ruled on the motion to dismiss, on January 17, 2025, Appellee
withdrew the motion. A year and a half later, after the bankruptcy
plan was substantially consummated, Appellee filed a renewed motion
to dismiss, in which he argued that the appeal is equitably moot
because Appellants failed to obtain a stay during the pendency of
the appeal, the confirmed plan is completed, and the Appellee and
third parties would be significantly affected if any relief were
granted in favor of Appellants. Appellee also argued that the
relief the Appellants sought was, at that point, impossible.
On January 7, 2026, this Court entered an order granting the motion
to dismiss. This Court determined that the appeal was equitably
moot for several reasons. Initially, this Court found that
Appellants had not offered a justifiable basis for not seeking a
stay and that their failure to do so induced Appellee to act in
reliance on the plan having been approved.
This Court also observed that Appellants failed to address
Appellee's arguments regarding how the interests of third parties
would be affected since the bankruptcy plan had been fully
consummated, and they failed to address the considerations set
forth in 11 U.S.C. Sec. 1101(2) regarding substantial
consummation.
Appellants' Motion for Rehearing
In the motion now before the Court, Appellants argue that this
Court incorrectly concluded that it was unable to provide relief
and that consummation of the plan, although relevant, is not
dispositive. According to Appellants, granting Appellants the
relief they sought would not impair creditor recoveries, unravel
negotiated plan provisions, or destabilize the reorganization.
Instead, they claim they simply seek a determination of ownership
and claim-related rights between the parties which, according to
Appellants, can be implemented without undoing consummated
transactions or destabilizing the Plan's structure. Appellee avers
there is no relief that can be granted at this stage without
significant harm to himself, the Debtor, and numerous third-party
creditors. He also argues that Appellants' judicial estoppel
argument is without merit.
Appellants argue that the Plan was not actually consensual because
it took into consideration Appellants' objection, that a change in
ownership of All Paving would not harm creditors because Appellants
waived the ability to claw back should they take control of All
Paving, and that judicial estoppel does apply because Appellants
relied on Appellee's withdrawal of the earlier motion.
Judge Damian concludes, "Review of the motion reflects Appellants
have not identified any of the permissible grounds for
reconsideration. They have not identified an intervening change in
controlling law, the availability of new evidence (that is,
evidence that was not available to them at the time they responded
to the motion to dismiss), nor the need to correct a clear error or
prevent manifest injustice. Therefore, Appellants have not
demonstrated that they are entitled to the extraordinary remedy of
reconsideration because the motion is based entirely on authority
and facts they could have, but, for the most part, did not raise
when responding to the motion to dismiss."
As this Court pointed out in the Dismissal Order, Appellants'
decision not to seek a stay, though not dispositive, weighs in
favor of a finding of equitable mootness. Appellants did not
challenge Appellee's claim that the Plan was consummated, and this
Court independently determined that it could find that it was. The
Court finds Appellants offer no authority for their claim of
judicial estoppel as a basis to preclude the filing of a motion to
dismiss under circumstances like those presented in this case.

SEALCOATING, LLC, and PATRICK DALY and ELIZABETH DALY AS THE

DEL MONTE: Minority Lenders Lose Bid to Stay Confirmation Order
---------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Robert Kirsch of the U.S. District Court for the District of
New Jersey denied the emergency motion for a temporary
administrative stay and to stay the Bankruptcy Court's order
confirming the First Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of
Reorganization of Del Monte Foods Corporation II Inc. and its
affiliated debtors pending appeal filed by Appellants the Ad Hoc
Group of Minority Secured Lenders.
The appeal is styled AD HOC GROUP OF MINORITY SECURED LENDERS,
Appellants, v. DEL MONTE FOODS CORPORATION et al., Appellees, Civil
Action No. 26-6259 (RK) (D.N.J.).
Debtors-Appellees Del Monte Foods Corporation II Inc. et al.
("Debtors-Appellees" or "Del Monte") filed an opposition.
The Court says Appellants fail to satisfy the second "critical"
factor of demonstrating irreparable injury absent a stay, and this
dooms their motion. Appellants assert that the only irreparable
injury they face is the risk of equitable mootness -- that, without
a stay, the Plan is likely to be quickly substantially consummated,
imposing on Appellants a significant risk that the pending appeal
of the Settlement Order, as well as the present Appeal, may be
subject to equitable mootness. Moreover, Appellants' alleged injury
is, at bottom, economic: the money distributions they say they
should get in the bankruptcy proceedings. According to the Court,
economic loss does not qualify as irreparable harm absent
"exceptional circumstances."
The Court finds because Appellants fail to make the requisite
showing of irreparable harm, the stay should be denied without
further analysis.
Even if Appellants could satisfy both threshold factors, the Court
would find that the final two factors -- substantial injury of a
stay to other interested parties and the public interest -- weigh
against a stay.
Judge Kirsch explains, "The Plan received overwhelming creditor
support and is the product of extensive negotiations, mediation
efforts, litigation, and creditor participation. Granting a stay
under these circumstances would delay implementation of a confirmed
plan supported by the vast majority of the stakeholders based upon
objections advanced by a limited constituency whose arguments have
already been fully litigated."

DIOCESE OF BUFFALO: Proceeds of Seminary Property Sale Unrestricted
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Meredith A. Vacca of the U.S. District Court for the
Western District of New York reversed the Bankruptcy Court's
decision to apply the cy pres doctrine to find that the use of
proceeds by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Buffalo, New York from
the sale of a seminary property traceable to the Reuter donation
and a fund drive is restricted. The case is remanded for further
proceedings.
In 1959, Fred H. Reuter offered to donate approximately 80 acres of
undeveloped land on Knox Road in the Town of Aurora, New York, to
the Diocese of Buffalo for use as the campus of a new seminary for
the training of clergy. Contemporaneously with its acceptance of
this gift, the Diocese conducted what it called "The Seminary Fund
Drive." Through this campaign, the Diocese collected more than $3.5
million, all of which was spent on costs of construction.
From 1961 until 2021, the seminary property was used as a Catholic
seminary, although under several different governing and ownership
arrangements.
Appellants, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Buffalo, New York and the
Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, appeal from a June 2025
decision and order of the Bankruptcy Court granting in part and
denying in part the Diocese's unopposed application for
unrestricted use of proceeds from the sale of the seminary
property. The Bankruptcy Court found that approximately 65% of the
proceeds from the sale were traceable to either the real property
that was donated, or to the money that was given as part of the
fund drive, for the specified and lasting purpose of establishing a
permanent seminary to serve the Diocese of Buffalo. Because
operation of the seminary is no longer possible, the Bankruptcy
Court invoked the cy pres doctrine to find that that portion of the
proceeds was restricted to use for clergy education.
On appeal, Appellants maintain that the Bankruptcy Court misapplied
New York law, and that the decision should be reversed. No
opposition has been filed.
The Diocese maintains that the Bankruptcy Court's decision erred on
four principal points:
(1) by concluding that the proceeds of the sale were restricted
by a uniform, collective donor intent that gifts of monies and
property to the Diocese to build a seminary were restricted in use
in perpetuity for the benefit of clergy education;
(2) by finding that the Diocese was holding the sale proceeds in
trust because the donative intent created an implied trust;
(3) by basing the decision on facts outside of the record (i.e.,
facts drawn from the Catholic Union and Echo) and which were not
subject to judicial notice; and
(4) by using an unsupported methodology to formulate its pro
rata allocation of the sale proceeds into restricted and
unrestricted funds.
The Committee's brief echoes the Diocese's brief on the first two
points, but also argues that 11 U.S.C. Sec. 544(a)(3) vitiates any
unrecorded restriction, and that the Bankruptcy Court incorrectly
traced donations to the sale proceeds.
The District Court agrees with the Diocese and the Committee that
the proceeds from the seminary sale are not subject to the cy pres
doctrine, and therefore that the Diocese is not
bound to use a portion of those proceeds for the benefit of clergy
education. Rather, the Court finds that while the gifts were made
with the intent that they be used for the
construction of a seminary, that intent has long since been
satisfied.
For these reasons, Appellants' appeal is granted.
Because there is no express "gift instrument" in the record clearly
restricting the use of the donations to The Seminary Fund Drive,
and because the documents that do exist discussing the purpose of
the drive indicate that Diocesan communications suggested the
animating principle of the drive was to raise funds to build a
seminary, the District Court finds that the funds donated to the
fund drive were given for the purpose of
constructing a seminary for the Diocese of Buffalo. It is not
disputed that the funds were so used, and that a Catholic seminary
did, in fact, operate on the seminary property for
decades. Therefore, the Court finds that the proceeds of the sale
of the seminary property traceable to the fund drive are not
restricted.

DIOCESE OF OAKLAND: Seeks Court OK for $180MM Abuse Fund
--------------------------------------------------------
Rick Archer of Law360 reports that the Roman Catholic Diocese of
Oakland has asked a California bankruptcy court to approve its $180
million Chapter 11 plan, defending the proposal against objections
raised by sexual abuse survivors. The diocese argued that the plan
provides a substantial recovery for claimants while preserving the
organization's ability to continue serving parishioners.
Several abuse claimants challenged confirmation, asserting that the
proposed settlement amount is inadequate and that the diocese has
not committed all available resources to compensate victims. They
urged the court to require greater contributions before approving
the restructuring plan, according to report.
In response, the diocese said the plan reflects months of
negotiations with stakeholders and represents the best achievable
outcome under the circumstances. The proposal would channel abuse
claims into a settlement trust funded through cash, property
interests and other assets earmarked for survivor compensation.

DIV005 LLC: Milbank, et al., Win Summary Judgment in SK Lawsuit
---------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Vernon D. Oliver of the U.S. District Court for the District
of Connecticut granted the motion for summary judgment of Milbank
Investment Holdings, LLC, Belpointe Capital Management, LLC and
Pointe Residential Builders Milbank LLC (the "Milbank Defendants")
on Counts Two, Three, and Four of the SK Contractors Group, Inc.
d/b/a SK Contractors, LLC's amended complaint in the case captioned
as SK CONTRACTORS GROUP, INC., d/b/a SK CONTRACTORS, LLC,
Plaintiff, -against- DIV005, LLC, MILBANK INVESTMENT HOLDING, LLC,
BELPOINTE CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, LLC, and POINTE RESIDENTIAL BUILDERS
MILBANK LLC, Defendants, Case No. 23-cv-00636-VDO (D. Conn.).
Plaintiff SK Contractors Group, Inc. d/b/a SK Contractors, LLC
("SK") brought this action against Defendants for breach of
contract (in Count One against Defendant DIV005, LLC ("DIV005") and
in Count Two against Pointe Residential Builders Milbank LLC
("Pointe")); misrepresentation (in Count Three against Pointe); and
unjust enrichment (in Count Four against Milbank Investment
Holdings, LLC ("Milbank") and Belpointe Capital Management, LLC
("Belpointe").
Milbank is the owner and developer of the construction project
located at 71 Havemeyer Place in Greenwich, Connecticut, consisting
of two three-story residential buildings containing thirty rental
apartments (the "Project"). Milbank retained Pointe as the general
contractor to manage and oversee construction. To carry out the
structural steel fabrication and erection work for the Project,
Pointe entered into a written subcontract with DIV005 on or about
December 28, 2021 ("Milbank Agreement"). The Milbank Agreement
provided for a total contract price of $2,375,000 for DIV005's
steel fabrication and scope of work. It provided that DIV005 "shall
provide sufficient organization, personnel and management to carry
out the requirements of [the Milbank Agreement] in a reasonably
expeditious and economical manner consistent with the interests of"
Milbank.
Approximately ten months after entering into the Milbank Agreement
with Pointe, DIV005 independently entered into a contract with SK
on October 26, 2022, wherein SK agreed to perform steel erection
labor for DIV005 (the "SK Subcontract"). The Milbank Defendants
were not involved in negotiating or executing the SK Subcontract
and are not parties to it.
The SK Subcontract expressly incorporates the Milbank Agreement
between Pointe and DIV005, "except that any payment provisions are
not incorporated." And the Milbank Agreement specifically obligates
DIV005, not the Milbank Defendants, to pay all subsubcontractors
engaged for the steel work.
The Milbank Agreement further allocates the risk of nonpayment to
DIV005, providing that DIV005 "assumes the risk of non-payment" in
the event the Owner does not pay due to DIV005's own
nonperformance. SK understood the payment scheme and submitted all
payment applications solely to DIV005, never to any Milbank
Defendant.
DIV005 repeatedly failed to mobilize adequate manpower or supply
required materials, and Pointe thus issued multiple schedule
accommodations throughout the summer and fall of 2022, attempting
to keep the Project on track. When DIV005 failed to cure its
defects or improve performance, Pointe issued a formal Notice of
Default on October 6, 2022, and a second follow-up notice on
October 27, 2022, indicating that DIV005's performance had
worsened. Shortly thereafter, on November 23, 2022, DIV005 sought
Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
Throughout the period of DIV005's performance, Pointe paid DIV005
approximately $958,550 pursuant to the Milbank Agreement. DIV005
accepted these payments but did not pass them through to SK.
Nevertheless, SK never submitted an invoice or payment application
to any Milbank Defendant; all payment requests were directed
exclusively to DIV005.
Under the Milbank Agreement, DIV005 was obligated to perform steel
work valued at approximately $2,375,000. In paying DIV005
approximately $958,550, the Milbank Defendants thus paid for 40% of
the work called for under that Milbank Agreement, while receiving,
at most, 25% of the steel work SK was obligated to perform under
the contract.
Count Two: Breach of Contract as against Pointe
In Count Two of the Amended Complaint, Plaintiff alleges that
Pointe "contracted with DIV005, LLC to provide certain labor,
materials, and equipment," that "SK is a third-party beneficiary of
the contract between" Pointe, Milbank, and DIV005, and that SK now
seeks to recover based on the breach of contract by DIV005.
The Court notes that there is no dispute over the fact that none of
the Milbank Defendants, including Pointe -- against whom the breach
of contract claim is brought -- directly contracted with SK,
including as part of the SK Subcontract. The record reflects no
evidence of a contract between Pointe and SK, and the SK
Subcontract was entered only by SK and DIV005. Nor does the Amended
Complaint allege that Pointe or any other Milbank Defendant
breached the SK Subcontract.
According to the Court, because the existence of a contract is an
essential element of a breach of contract claim, its absence means
that SK may not maintain a direct breach of contract claim against
the Milbank Defendants, none of whom were parties to the SK
Subcontract.
The Court finds Because Connecticut law requires clear contractual
intent to create enforceable third-party beneficiary rights, and no
such intent appears within the four corners of the agreements, SK's
breach of contract claim against the Milbank Defendants fails as a
matter of law. Summary judgment in favor of the Milbank Defendants
is thus proper on Count Two.
Count Three: Misrepresentation as against Pointe
In Count Three of the Amended Complaint, Plaintiff alleges that
Pointe Residential made material factual misrepresentations to SK
that it would sign a Joint Check Agreement with SK and DIV005, LLC.
SK's claim fails because the record does not reflect that any of
the Milbank Defendants made any misrepresentations of fact to SK.
Accordingly, the Court grants summary judgment in favor of the
Milbank Defendants on Count Three, negligent misrepresentation.
Count Four: Unjust Enrichment as against Milbank and Belpointe
In Count Four of the Amended Complaint, Plaintiff alleges that
Milbank and Belpointe were unjustly enriched by SK's work.
SK alleges it provided "labor, materials, and equipment" at the
Project pursuant to that Subcontract, and it seeks "$302,900.81"
specifically for "unpaid work under the Subcontract. The Court
finds SK's unjust enrichment claim fails because the record
reflects the existence of an enforceable contract that governs the
subject matter for which SK seeks recovery. The damages SK seeks
in unjust enrichment fall squarely within the circumstances
specified in the SK Subcontract, rendering equitable relief
unavailable.
According to the Court, any alleged enrichment was not unjust
because the Milbank Defendants did not receive SK's work "for
free." On the contrary, after SK and DIV005 abandoned the
Project, Pointe was forced to incur substantial additional costs,
totaling $197,641.00, to remediate structural deficiencies, correct
defective welding and misalignment, and complete portions of the
steel scope SK left unfinished. The Milbank Defendants thus
incurred substantial economic loss from the circumstances
underlying SK's claims. Far from being unjustly enriched, the
Milbank Defendants had to pay twice: once to DIV005, and again to a
separate party to correct and complete SK's incomplete work
Accordingly, SK cannot demonstrate that the Milbank Defendants have
been unjustly enriched. The Court thus grants summary judgment in
favor of the Milbank Defendants on Count Four, unjust enrichment.

DOUBLE CHECK: Gets Interim OK to Use Cash Collateral
----------------------------------------------------
Double Check Solutions, Inc. received interim approval from the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas, Austin
Division, to use cash collateral.
Under the interim order, the Debtor is authorized to use cash
collateral until the final hearing on July 9 to pay the expenses
set forth on its budget. The Debtor may exceed the amount of any
line item by 10% but may not exceed the total amount authorized by
10%.
The Debtor's cash collateral is generated from licensing its
software and collecting customer fees.
The Debtor identifies four individuals as the only known secured
creditors: Dan Roman ($50,000), Eran Perry ($75,000), Lou Silvestri
($100,000), and Scott Hinkle ($250,000). Hinkle and Silvestri serve
on the Debtor's board of directors and hold convertible notes
either directly or through affiliated entities. These secured
creditors generally support the Debtor's restructuring efforts and
are expected to consent to the use of cash collateral, although
none had retained bankruptcy counsel at the time of filing.
Pursuant to the order, creditors with an interest in cash
collateral will be granted replacement liens on the cash
collateral, with the same priority, validity and extent as their
pre-petition liens. The Debtors authorized to pay post-petition
interest to the four creditors as they come due.
The order is available at

include approximately $103,477 in cash as of the petition date,
roughly $37,000 in accounts receivable, ongoing contract rights
with eight software licensees, and intellectual property that
management believes constitutes the Debtor's most valuable asset.
Although no formal valuation has been conducted, the Debtor asserts
that the value of its intellectual property likely exceeds the
amount of its secured debt, suggesting the existence of an equity
cushion that may help protect secured creditors.

FIRST BRANDS: US Trustee's Conversion to Chapter 7 Bid Denied
-------------------------------------------------------------
Emily Lever of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that First
Brands Group LLC received court approval Friday, June 12, 2026, to
distribute its fifth amended Chapter 11 plan to creditors for
voting after a Texas bankruptcy judge denied a request by the U.S.
Trustee to block solicitation efforts. The ruling keeps the
automaker parts supplier's restructuring timeline on track.
The U.S. Trustee had raised objections to aspects of the proposed
plan and disclosure statement, contending that additional issues
needed to be resolved before votes could be sought. First Brands
maintained that its latest revisions adequately addressed
outstanding concerns and complied with bankruptcy requirements, the
report states.
By overruling the trustee's motion, the court cleared the way for
creditors to review and vote on the reorganization proposal. The
outcome represents an important step toward confirmation of a plan
that could determine the company's path out of bankruptcy,
according to Law360.

FIRST LIBERTY: Founder's Wife Wants to Protect Assets from Receiver
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Kelly Yamanouchi of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that
the receiver tasked with recovering money for victims of the failed
First Liberty Building & Loan is seeking access to assets
associated with a company owned by Krista Frost, wife of founder
Brant Frost IV. The move is part of ongoing efforts to identify and
recover funds for investors affected by the lender's collapse.
Krista Frost is opposing the receiver's request, arguing that her
business should not be swept into the receivership proceedings.
Court filings indicate the disagreement centers on whether the
company's assets can be used to help repay investors who suffered
losses, the report relays.
First Liberty became the subject of federal scrutiny after
regulators alleged it operated a $140 million Ponzi scheme. The SEC
accused the company and Brant Frost IV of deceiving investors while
raising money through securities offerings. Frost later admitted
guilt in a related criminal fraud case and is awaiting sentencing.
according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Federal investigators contend that substantial amounts of investor
money were diverted for non-business purposes. The alleged
expenditures included luxury goods, vacations, jewelry, credit card
payments and political donations. Authorities estimate that at
least $570,000 in investor funds was directed toward political
contributions.
About First Liberty Building & Loan
First Liberty Building & Loan offers promissory notes and
loan-participation deals to retail investors, touting returns of up
to 18% from funds supposedly used for short-term business bridge
loans.
In July 2025, First Liberty Building & Loan, LLC of Newnan,
Georgia, was placed under federal receivership after the SEC
accused the firm and founder Edwin Brand Frost IV of orchestrating
a $140 million Ponzi-style operation. The case is being overseen by
U.S. District Judge Michael L. Brown of the Northern District of
Georgia, who appointed S. Gregory Hays as receiver on July 11,
2025. The receivership extends to several related entities,
including First Liberty Capital Partners, LLC, First National
Investments, LLC, MyHealthAI Capital, LLC, and The Legacy Advisory
Group, Inc.
FTX TRADING: 2nd Cir. Upholds 25-Year Bankman-Fried Conviction
--------------------------------------------------------------
Aislinn Keely of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that on June
12, 2026, the Second Circuit has upheld Sam Bankman-Fried's fraud
conviction and an accompanying $11 billion forfeiture order,
rejecting the former FTX executive's appeal in its entirety. The
court found that the trial proceedings were fair and that the
evidence overwhelmingly supported the jury's verdict.
Bankman-Fried contended that the district court improperly limited
evidence related to the potential recovery of customer assets
through the FTX bankruptcy. He argued that the possibility of full
repayment undermined the government's contention that customers
suffered losses. The appeals court, however, concluded that such
evidence would not have changed the outcome because the
unauthorized use of customer funds constituted fraud, the report
relays.
The ruling leaves standing the penalties imposed following one of
the most closely watched prosecutions in the cryptocurrency
industry. It also reinforces the government's position that
subsequent recoveries in bankruptcy do not erase criminal liability
arising from the misuse of customer assets, according to Law360.
About FTX Trading Ltd.
FTX is the world's second-largest cryptocurrency firm. FTX is a
cryptocurrency exchange built by traders, for traders. FTX offers
innovative products including industry-first derivatives, options,
volatility products and leveraged tokens.
Then CEO and co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried said Nov. 10, 2022, that
FTX paused customer withdrawals after it was hit with roughly $5
billion worth of withdrawal requests.
Faced with liquidity issues, FTX on Nov. 9 struck a deal to sell
itself to its giant rival Binance, but Binance walked away from the
deal amid reports on FTX regarding mishandled customer funds and
alleged US agency investigations.
At 4:30 a.m. on Nov. 11, Bankman-Fried ultimately agreed to step
aside, and restructuring vet John J. Ray III was quickly named new
CEO.
FTX Trading Ltd (d/b/a FTX.com), West Realm Shires Services Inc.
(d/b/a FTX US), Alameda Research Ltd. and certain affiliated
companies then commenced Chapter 11 proceedings (Bankr. D. Del.
Lead Case No. 22-11068) on an emergency basis on Nov. 11, 2022.
Additional entities sought Chapter 11 protection on Nov. 14, 2022.
FTX Trading and its affiliates each listed $10 billion to $50
million in assets and liabilities, making FTX the biggest
bankruptcy filer in the US this year. According to Reuters, SBF
shared a document with investors on Nov. 10 showing FTX had $13.86
billion in liabilities and $14.6 billion in assets. However, only
$900 million of those assets were liquid, leading to the cash
crunch that ended with the company filing for bankruptcy.
The Hon. John T. Dorsey is the case judge.
The Debtors tapped Sullivan & Cromwell, LLP as bankruptcy counsel;
Landis Rath & Cobb, LLP as local counsel; and Alvarez & Marsal
North America, LLC as financial advisor. Kroll is the claims agent,
maintaining the page https://cases.ra.kroll.com/FTX/Home-Index
The official committee of unsecured creditors tapped Paul Hastings
as bankruptcy counsel; Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor, LLP as
Delaware and conflicts counsel; FTI Consulting, Inc. as financial
advisor; and Jefferies, LLC as investment banker.
Montgomery McCracken Walker & Rhoads LLP, led by partners Gregory
T. Donilon, Edward L. Schnitzer, and David M. Banker, is
representing Sam Bankman-Fried in the Chapter 11 cases. White
collar crime specialist Mark S. Cohen has reportedly been hired to
represent SBF in litigation. Lawyers at Paul Weiss previously
represented SBF but later renounced representing the entrepreneur
due to a conflict of interest.

petition, the Debtor reports estimated assets between $0 and

GREAT CIRCLE: Gets Court OK for Chapter 11 Disclosure Statement
---------------------------------------------------------------
Chief Judge Martin Glenn of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York conditionally approved Great Circle
Park, LLC's Second Amended Combined Disclosure Statement and
Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization.
The Plan, which contemplates a Property Sale or Refinancing,
classifies holders of claims and interests into three classes. Only
Class 1 (Flagstar Secured Claims) is impaired and entitled to vote
on the Plan. The Plan provides for non-priority unsecured creditors
holding Allowed General Unsecured Claims to receive distributions,
which the Debtor projects will be paid in full.
The Debtor will market the Parking Garage and pursue a negotiated
sale transaction with one or more prospective purchasers in a
manner designed to maximize value for the benefit of the Debtor's
estate and its creditors.
As a condition to the effectiveness of the Plan, the Debtor must
close the Property Sale or Refinancing on or before November 30,
2026. Specifically, the Debtor is authorized to structure any
Property Sale pursuant to the terms of a sale and purchase
agreement and the sale and purchase agreement may be structured so
that it qualifies as a Like-Kind Exchange.
The Disclosure Statement, which was filed combined with the Plan,
is comprehensive and informative and contains information necessary
for impaired creditors to make an "informed judgment" about the
Plan.
The Disclosure Statement appears to satisfy the requirements of
section 1125. Accordingly, the Court approves the Disclosure
Statement.
Section 1129(a)(10) requires at least one class of impaired claims
-- if there are any impaired classes -- to have accepted the Plan.
Voting has not yet occurred. As such, whether the Plan meets the
requirements of section 1129(a)(10) is to be determined.
Section 1129(a)(11) requires the Court to determine that
confirmation of the plan is not likely to be followed by the
liquidation, or the need for further financial reorganization, of
the debtor or any successor to the debtor under the plan, unless
such liquidation or reorganization is proposed in the plan.
The Debtors will engage in either a Property Sale or Refinancing.
While a Property Sale for the single-asset Debtor would constitute
a liquidating plan, the Debtors have demonstrated that a sale is
feasible. The Debtors have engaged Marcus & Millichap Real Estate
Investment Services, Inc. for Property Sale and/or Refinancing
efforts, and the net proceeds will fund the distributions.
Accordingly, the Plan meets the requirements of section
1129(a)(11).
The Court conditionally approves the Plan subject to later voting.

2026, is available at https://urlcurt.com/u?l=N1MDnG from

HS GROUP: SSG Served as Investment Banker in Kaylad Asset Sale
--------------------------------------------------------------
SSG Capital Advisors, LLC (SSG) served as investment banker to HS
Group, Inc. d/b/a ZOTA Payment Services and Direct Payment Services
(ZOTA or the Company) in the sale of substantially all of its
assets to Kaylad, LLC. The transaction closed in June 2026.
ZOTA is a registered ISO/MSP providing integrated payment
processing, point-of-sale software, and value-added merchant
services to approximately 5,000 U.S. merchants, with a particular
focus on nail salons. The ZOTA platform offers card processing,
scheduling and workflow tools, booking, and digital marketing
solutions, with back-office support from teams in Vietnam and the
Philippines.
Since its founding, the Company achieved meaningful growth by
targeting an underserved and highly fragmented merchant segment
with unique payment needs. Despite the strength of the underlying
business, disputes among the Company's equity holders disrupted
governance and ultimately resulted in ZOTA being placed into
receivership. In September 2024, the District Court of Laramie
County, Wyoming appointed Randy L. Royal as Receiver, with
responsibility for overseeing day-to-day operations, preserving
enterprise value, and effectuating a court-supervised sale
process.
SSG was retained in February 2026 to conduct a targeted marketing
process, identify strategic and financial buyers, and solicit
offers for the Company's assets. In collaboration with the Receiver
and his legal team, SSG developed and executed a strategy designed
to reach buyers with relevant payments expertise and the ability to
transact in a complex receivership. Through this process, SSG
generated strong market engagement and secured multiple offers for
the Company's assets. Following negotiations with prospective
bidders, the offer submitted by Kaylad, LLC was determined to be
the highest and best proposal. SSG's experience managing
competitive sale processes in contentious stakeholder environments
enabled the Receiver to maximize value, preserve continuity for the
Company's merchant base, and bring finality to a longstanding
dispute.
Other professionals who worked on the transaction include:
* Randy L. Royal of Randy L. Royal, PC, court-appointed
Receiver of HS Group, Inc.; and
* Bradley T. Hunsicker and Patrick R. Akers of Markus Williams
LLC, counsel to HS Group, Inc.

payments as set forth therein. The Purchase Agreement contemplates
a phased transfer of the Claims: 11 mutually agreed claims
transferring free and clear at the initial closing, and 10 mutually
agreed claims transferring free and clear upon completion of the
fourth installment payment.
Pursuant to the Assignment Agreement, effective as of the
Assignment Effective Date, Tall Ship irrevocably assigned,
transferred, conveyed, and delivered to the Company all of Tall
Ship's right, title, and interest in, to, and under the Purchase
Agreement, including without limitation:
(i) all rights to acquire, receive, and hold title to the 21
claims in accordance with the phased transfer schedule set forth in
the Purchase Agreement;
(ii) all rights relating to the escrow, including rights to
direct disbursements and receive any refunds in the event of Seller
default;
(iii) all due diligence rights, access rights, and cooperation
rights afforded to buyer under the Purchase Agreement during the
purchasing claims period;
(iv) all rights to participate in the cooperative Acquisition
and Development Agreement relating to the proposed local mineral
processing mill; and
(v) all other rights, benefits, privileges, claims, and
interests of buyer under the Purchase Agreement.
Further, pursuant to the Assignment Agreement and effective as of
the Assignment Effective Date, the Company accepted the assignment
and assumed all liabilities, duties, and obligations of Tall Ship
as buyer under the Purchase Agreement arising from and after the
Assignment Effective Date, including without limitation:
(i) all installment payments and interest obligations under
the purchase price payment schedule;
(ii) all escrow funding obligations, including the initial
$500,000 deposit if not yet funded;
(iii) all obligations to complete the NI 43-101 technical report
and related feasibility studies at the Company's cost;
(iv) all access, cooperation, and due diligence obligations
owed to Seller during the purchasing claims period; and
(v) all obligations relating to the development, financing,
and operation of the proposed mineral processing mill.
The Company intends to utilize a phased reserve-development and
digitization strategy with respect to the Project, including:
advancing core claims toward inferred/indicated resource
classification; completing feasibility and reserve upgrade work;
and potential.

IKPM PET SUPPLY: Gets OK to Use Cash Collateral Until July 8
------------------------------------------------------------
IKPM Pet Supply, LLC received interim approval from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas to use the cash
collateral of its secured lenders.
Under the order, the Debtor is authorized to use cash collateral
through July 8 to pay its expenses based on a court-approved
budget, subject to a 15% variance. Unused budgeted funds may be
carried forward and applied to subsequent months or different
budget categories as needed.
The Debtor needs approximately $107,393 in cash collateral during
the first 90 days of the bankruptcy case to support operations,
excluding professional fees, future payments to lenders as adequate
protection, and other court-approved expenses. At the time of
filing, the Debtor's books and records reflected only about $48,150
in available operating cash held in bank accounts.
The Debtor estimates that secured claims against cash collateral
may exceed $838,000 in total. Its secured lenders include For1,
LLC, Ford Credit, and Texas Capital Bank.
Lenders will be granted adequate protection through replacement and
additional liens on the Debtor's existing and post-petition cash
collateral, with the same priority as their pre-petition liens.
The order provides for a carveout that takes priority over the
lenders' liens for administrative expenses.
A copy of the court's order and the Debtor's budget is available at
https://shorturl.at/Lskdz from PacerMonitor.com.
A final hearing is scheduled for July 8, with objections due by
July 1.

IQSTEL INC: Board Authorizes Repurchase of Up to 1MM Common Shares
------------------------------------------------------------------
iQSTEL Inc. announced in a regulatory filing that the Board of
Directors authorized and approved a share repurchase program for up
to 1,000,000 shares of the currently outstanding shares of the
Company's common stock, funded in whole or in part by cash
dividends received from the Company's subsidiary QXTEL. The
repurchase program has no expiration date and will continue until
the maximum number of shares authorized have been repurchased or
until the program is suspended, modified, or terminated by the
Board. Under the stock repurchase program, the Company intends to
repurchase shares through open market purchases,
privately-negotiated transactions, block purchases or otherwise in
accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule
10b-18 of the Exchange Act.
The Board also authorized the Company to enter into written trading
plans under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. Adopting a trading
plan that satisfies the conditions of Rule 10b5-1 allows the
Company to repurchase its shares at times when it might otherwise
be prevented from doing so due to self-imposed trading blackout
periods or pursuant to insider trading laws. Under any Rule 10b5-1
trading plan, the Company's third-party broker, subject to
Securities and Exchange Commission regulations regarding certain
price, market, volume and timing constraints, would have authority
to purchase the Company's common stock in accordance with the terms
of the plan. The Company may from time to time enter into Rule
10b5-1 trading plans to facilitate the repurchase of its common
stock pursuant to its share repurchase program.
The Company cannot predict when or if it will repurchase any shares
of common stock as such stock repurchase program will depend on a
number of factors, including constraints specified in any Rule
10b5-1 trading plans, price, general business and market
conditions, and alternative investment opportunities. Information
regarding share repurchases will be available in the Company's
periodic reports on Form 10-Q and 10-K filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission as required by the applicable rules of the
Exchange Act.

stockholders' equity.
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based Urish Popeck & Co., LLC, the
Company's auditor, issued a "going concern" qualification in its
report dated April 6, 2026, attached to the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, citing that the
Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, negative
working capital, and does not have an established source of
revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs. The ability of
the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its
ability to successfully accomplish its business plan and eventually
attain profitable operations. Accordingly, the Company has
determined that these factors raise substantial doubt as to the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
IQSTEL INC: Targets US$130-Mil. Revenue With Ultranet Acquisition
-----------------------------------------------------------------
iQSTEL Inc. announced in a regulatory filing that it entered into a
Binding Memorandum of Understanding with Ultranet Telecom Group and
its shareholders, Raymond Oppong-Dapaah and Mohsin Ali, pursuant to
which the Company agreed to acquire a 51% controlling interest in
the Ultranet Telecom Group.
The Ultranet Business is a fast-growing telecommunications and
technology company headquartered in Ghana with operations across
multiple African countries (including Ghana, Nigeria, Mali, Burkina
Faso, Senegal, and Ivory Coast) and international markets. The
transaction is structured through a newly established UAE holding
company structure (Ultranet GH Holdings Limited as HoldCo owning
100% of Ultranet Global Communications Limited as OpCo), which will
exercise full operational and economic control over the existing
operating entities (Ultranet Telecom Limited (Ghana) and Ultranet
Telecoms Limited (Nigeria)) via exclusive economic agreements and
irrevocable call options for nominal consideration.
The total consideration for the 51% interest is US$17,600,000,
allocated as follows:
* Initial cash payments: US$7,000,000 (US$3,000,000 at
execution of the definitive Purchase Agreement, US$2,000,000 within
45 days post-closing, and US$2,000,000 within 90 days
post-closing).
* Deferred/contingent payments: Up to US$10,600,000 payable in
two tranches (US$5,300,000 at 12 months and US$5,300,000 at 24
months), subject to Ultranet achieving specified net income targets
(US$4.5 million in Year 1 and US$9.5 million cumulative over two
years, based on US GAAP audited financial statements). Payments are
subject to proportional reductions if targets are not fully met
(with a 70% threshold) and a potential performance bonus if
cumulative net income exceeds US$9.5 million.
* Working capital adjustment: The Company will receive a
minimum normalized working capital of approximately US$3,350,000 at
closing, with dollar-for-dollar adjustments (subject to a US$50,000
collar) and a post-closing true-up.
The MOU includes customary closing conditions, including completion
of due diligence, regulatory approvals (including from the Ghana
NCA and Nigeria NCC), execution of definitive documentation, FCPA
audit, third-party valuation, and maintenance of ordinary-course
operations.
The definitive Purchase Agreement is targeted for execution within
60 days, with closing anticipated in Q3 2026. The MOU also contains
exclusivity, non-compete (Africa scope), confidentiality,
termination fee, indemnification, equity clawback (in case of
payment default), and post-closing governance provisions (including
majority board control for the Company and continued operational
leadership by the Sellers under employment agreements).
The transaction is expected to add approximately US$130 million in
annual revenue and US$4.5 million in net profit (based on
Ultranet's FY 2025 audited financial statements), pushing the
Company above a US$500 million annualized revenue run rate.
"In this transaction we are expanding our global footprint and
operational scale," said Leandro Iglesias, CEO of IQSTEL. "This is
more than an acquisition, it is a strategic partnership combining
Ultranet's powerful African telecom platform with IQSTEL's global
commercial infrastructure, AI capabilities, and digital services
vision. Together, we intend to accelerate Ultranet's Africa growth
and launch the Ultranet platform into the Middle East and Asia.
Raymond Oppong-Dapaah and his management team will continue leading
day-to-day operations and will now have access to greater financial
resources, a larger global platform, and expanded technology
capabilities to pursue significantly larger opportunities."
Raymond Oppong-Dapaah, CEO and Owner of Ultranet Telecom Group,
added: "We were looking for a strategic partner to accelerate our
Africa growth and expand into the Middle East and Asia. IQSTEL
brings global scale, financial strength, and a strong digital
services vision that we believe will take Ultranet to the next
level. By partnering with IQSTEL, we gain the ability to accelerate
larger projects, enter new regions more quickly, and access a much
broader international ecosystem."

IRON MOUNTAIN: S&P Rates Proposed Senior Unsecured Notes 'BB-'
--------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'BB-' issue-level rating and '3'
recovery rating to Iron Mountain Inc.'s (IRM) proposed $1.0 billion
of senior unsecured notes due 2035. The '3' recovery rating
indicates its expectation for meaningful (50%-70%; rounded
estimate: 55%) recovery in the event of a default. S&P views the
transaction as leverage-neutral because IRM will use it to pay down
a portion of the outstanding balance on its revolving credit
facility.
On a rolling-12-month basis, IRM's leverage (pro forma for
under-construction data center EBITDA) declined to 6.3x as of March
30, 2026, from 6.4x as of the end of fiscal-year 2025. This was
driven by the rapid expansion of its data centers and asset
life-cycle management segments--which collectively grew by more
than 50% during the quarter--and the successful conclusion of
"Project Matterhorn". This resulted in the cessation of
transformation-related expenses in the first quarter of 2026.
The company's outperformance in the first quarter supports our
forecast for about 15% growth in its revenue and EBITDA in 2026.
S&P expects leverage on an S&P adjusted basis to settle in the
mid-6x area this year, down from 6.9x as of year-end 2025,
supported by continued strong performance in the company's records
management and data center segments through new lease
commencements, contract wins, and favorable pricing.
Issue Ratings--Recovery Analysis
Key analytical factors
-- We updated our analysis to include the proposed $1.0 billion of
unsecured notes. All ratings on the existing debt are unchanged.
-- Our simulated default scenario considers a default due to
financial stress arising from a deep cyclical downturn and an
accelerating shift away from paper, as well as increased
competitive and technological pressures that hinder its digital
storage and data center development.
-- U.S. subsidiaries generally guarantee IRM's U.S. secured and
unsecured debt on a pari passu basis. The company's foreign
subsidiaries do not guarantee IRM's senior unsecured notes issued
in the U.S.
-- The liens granted to its senior secured revolving credit
facility and term loan lenders are modest and generally limited to
intercompany claims and the capital stock of domestic and
first-tier foreign subsidiaries. In addition, given that the U.S.
domestic subsidiary guarantees provided to the senior secured and
senior unsecured debtholders rank equally, we attributed negligible
recovery from liens on the capital stock of U.S. subsidiaries.
-- Certain foreign subsidiaries are direct obligors under the
senior secured revolving credit facility and term loan. In the
event of a default, recoveries could benefit from claims on foreign
borrowers for outstanding borrowings. However, under our base case,
we conservatively assume revolving credit facility borrowings are
from U.S.-based borrowers.
-- Given the company has significant unencumbered real estate from
its storage facilities as well as recent growth investments in data
centers, we include our stressed estimate of value realizable from
these assets.
Simulated default assumptions
-- Simulated year of default: 2030
-- EBITDA at emergence: About $1.75 billon
-- EBITDA multiple: 6x
-- Going-concern valuation: $10.5 billion
-- Real estate (45% stress to book value): $3.6 billion
-- Gross recovery value: $14.1 billion, which comprises about
$10.5 billion of going-concern value plus about $3.6 billion of
real estate value (assumes 45% stress to book value) because the
company has significant unencumbered real estate from its storage
facilities and recent investments in data centers
Simplified waterfall
-- Net direct recovery available to senior secured debt: $2.8
billion
-- Recovery from unencumbered value: $1.3 billion
-- Total recovery for senior secured debt: $4.1 billion
-- Senior secured debt outstanding at default: $5.2 billion
--Recovery expectations: 70%-90% (rounded estimate: 75%)
-- Recovery from unencumbered value: $8.2 billion
-- Unsecured debt outstanding at default: $12.0 billion
-- Aggregate deficiency claims of senior secured debt: $2.4
billion
-- Other unsecured claims: $197 million
-- Total unsecured claims: $14.6 billion
--Recovery expectations: 50%-70% (rounded estimate: 55%)
JACKSON WALKER: Texas Urged to Preserve Judge Romance Suit
----------------------------------------------------------
Clara Geoghegan of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that inn
multiple court filings, EJS Investment Holdings LLC asked a Texas
federal judge to deny efforts by former bankruptcy judge David
Jones and other parties to dismiss a proposed class action lawsuit.
The company argues that its allegations concerning undisclosed
conflicts and related conduct are sufficiently detailed to survive
dismissal.
According to EJS, the complaint presents viable legal claims and
raises issues that warrant examination through discovery. The
plaintiff contends that defendants are attempting to short-circuit
the litigation before the facts can be fully developed.
The case arises from controversy surrounding Jones' tenure on the
bankruptcy bench and the subsequent review of cases linked to
alleged disclosure failures. EJS seeks to represent a class of
parties who claim they suffered damages as a result of those
events, the report relays.

JAGUAR HEALTH: All Five Proposals Passed at 2026 Annual Meeting

JELD-WEN HOLDING: Bank of Nova Scotia Holds 3.41% Equity Stake
--------------------------------------------------------------
Bank of Nova Scotia disclosed in a Schedule 13G (Amendment No. 1)
filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that as of
May 29, 2026, it beneficially owns 2,934,229 shares of JELD-WEN
Holding, Inc.'s Common Stock, representing 3.41% of the shares
outstanding which reflects an ownership of less than 5 percent of a

About JELD-WEN Holding, Inc.
ELD-WEN Holding, Inc., along with its subsidiaries, is a vertically
integrated global manufacturer and distributor of windows, doors,
and other building products that derives substantially all its
revenues from the sale of its door and window products.
As of March 28, 2026, the Company had $2.08 billion in total
assets, $2.07 billion in total liabilities, and $12.18 million in
total stockholders' equity.
* * *
In May 2026, S&P Global Ratings lowered its issuer credit rating on
JELD-WEN Holding Inc. to 'CCC+' from 'B-', its issue-level rating
on its senior secured debt to 'B' from 'B+', and its issue-level
rating on its senior unsecured debt to 'CCC' from 'CCC+'.
The negative outlook reflects S&P's expectation that the company's
S&P Global Ratings-adjusted debt to EBITDA will remain above 10x
through 2026 as subdued demand for new construction and R&R
activity continues to impair its credit metrics and refinancing
risk increases as the company's December 2027 notes approach
current status.
JOANN INC: Vendors Lawsuit Will Remain in Delaware, Judge Rules
---------------------------------------------------------------
Vince Sullivan of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that on
Thursday, June 11, 2026, a Delaware bankruptcy judge ruled that
claims brought by vendors of Joann Inc. do not constitute property
of the bankruptcy estate and may continue outside of the Chapter 11
proceedings. The court declined to extend estate control over the
disputed causes of action.
The ruling found that the vendors' claims arise from their own
legal rights rather than derivative interests of the debtor.
Accordingly, the court allowed the litigation to proceed
independently of the bankruptcy case, the report relays.
The decision comes as Joann Inc. winds down following its
liquidation. It ensures that vendor disputes will remain active in
separate forums rather than being consolidated into the bankruptcy
estate, according to report.

LIBERTY LATIN AMERICA: Advised by Latham on New Financing Agreement
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Liberty Latin America Ltd. ("Liberty Latin America") (NASDAQ: LILA
and LILAK, OTC Link: LILAB) has announced that its Liberty Puerto
Rico subsidiary has successfully entered into two new financing
agreements through existing unrestricted subsidiaries (the
"Unrestricted Subsidiaries") that are parties to an existing senior
secured term loan credit facility that matures in 2030 ("the 2030
Facility"). First, the Unrestricted Subsidiaries and the lenders
under Liberty Puerto Rico's prior revolving credit facility entered
into a new senior secured revolving credit facility that currently
has $140 million of availability. Additionally, Liberty Puerto Rico
has successfully raised an additional $200 million senior secured
term loan financing through the Unrestricted Subsidiaries as an
incremental term loan under the 2030 Facility.
Latham & Watkins LLP advised Liberty Puerto Rico on the financings
with a team led by New York partner Ryan Preston Dahl, with
associates Eric Einhorn, Angeline Hwang, Nikhil Gulati, Montana
Licari and Saadia Naeem, with assistance from Calvin Best.

LIFTOFF MOBILE: S&P Upgrades ICR to 'BB-' Following IPO Closing
---------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings raised our issuer credit rating on Liftoff
Mobile Inc. to 'BB-' from 'B-'.
S&P also raised its issue-level rating on the company's senior
secured credit facility to 'BB-' from 'B-'.
In addition, S&P removed all the ratings from CreditWatch, where
S&P placed them with positive implications on Jan. 16, 2026.
S&P said, "The stable outlook reflects our expectation that S&P
Global Ratings-adjusted leverage will decline to about 3.5x in 2026
as revenue and EBITDA benefit from growing digital advertising
spending and rising demand for its Cortex platform. Despite our
forecast for Liftoff's leverage to decrease below our 4x upgrade
threshold we expect the company to continue to prioritize investing
in growth and could use cash flow and debt issuance to fund
acquisitions or shareholder returns.
"We expect leverage will decline to the mid-3x area in 2026 from
9.5x at year end 2025. On June 5, 2026, Liftoff completed an IPO of
its ordinary shares at $23 per share. The company received about
$472.4 million in net proceeds from the IPO. We expect it will use
approximately $413.8 million of the proceeds to partially repay its
term loan, with the remainder used to cover transaction expenses
and add cash to the balance sheet. In addition, as part of the
transaction, its existing $425 million Series A preference shares,
which we previously included in our measure of adjusted debt,
automatically converted into ordinary shares, reducing adjusted
leverage by approximately 1.5x for the rolling-12-month period
ended March 31, 2026.
"Further, we expect S&P Global Ratings-adjusted EBITDA to almost
double to about $440 million in 2026. EBITDA will significantly
improve in 2026, driven by about 23% revenue growth and meaningful
operating leverage. We also expect a significant reduction in
one-time costs, which we don't add back to EBITDA, compared with
2025; this is related to its debt refinancing efforts and General
Atlantic investment.
"Our view of Liftoff's business risk has improved given its growing
competitive position and operating efficiency. Digital advertising
continues to take market share from traditional media channels such
as TV and radio. We expect this trend will continue to increase
digital advertising at a high-single-digit percent rate in 2026. We
believe barriers are high for a competitor to replicate Liftoff's
machine-learning engine because it takes substantial time and
capital to develop and roll out machine-learning platforms to the
marketplace."
Liftoff reaches approximately 1.4 billion daily active users across
167,000+ apps that have its software development kit integrated.
Cortex is the company's AI-neural network prediction model. It
powers Liftoff's 1) demand-side platform to optimize advertisers'
bid strategies and 2) supply-side platform to enhance ad inventory
yield for publishers in real time.
S&P said, "In addition, we forecast an S&P Global Ratings-adjusted
EBITDA margin of about 52% in 2026 versus margins of 35%-40% a few
years ago. Margin improvement is attributed to its relatively fixed
cost structure and the efficiency of its Cortex model. Cortex can
hold more data than Liftoff's previous models and reduce AI
training cycles, supporting core advertising growth. The company's
capital intensity is also low, supporting healthy levels of free
operating cash flow. As a result, we revised our assessment of its
business risk to fair from weak.
"Although not included in our base-case forecast, future changes to
data privacy or other regulatory impacts could hinder the company's
business if they limit how the company can collect and utilize user
data for ad targeting. We also believe macroeconomic headwinds
could affect the business if they were to materially erode consumer
spending and overall spending through the Liftoff ecosystem."
Liftoff's financial policy could slow the pace of long-term
leverage reduction. As the company's operating performance improves
and it continues to generate significant free cash flow, we expect
it will add to its sizable cash balance. However, its financial
policy could slow the pace of long-term leverage reduction if the
company returns capital to shareholders or pursues acquisition
opportunities. Following the IPO, the company is still
majority-owned (49.5%) by Blackstone, and the financial sponsor's
ownership stake could result in a more aggressive financial
policy.
The company doesn't have a stated public leverage target. S&P said,
"Despite our expectation for Liftoff's leverage to be below our 4x
upgrade threshold in 2026, we believe leverage reduction either be
prolonged or temporary, due to leveraging acquisitions or
shareholder-rewarding activities (it has a history of debt-financed
shareholder returns). We expect Liftoff to continue to prioritize
investing in growth rather than debt repayment."
S&P said, "The stable outlook reflects our expectation that S&P
Global Ratings-adjusted leverage will decline to about 3.5x in 2026
as revenue and EBITDA benefit from growing digital advertising
spending and rising demand for its Cortex platform. Despite our
forecast for Liftoff to decrease leverage below our 4x upgrade
threshold, we expect the company to continue to prioritize
investing in growth and could use cash flow and debt issuance to
fund acquisitions or shareholder returns."
S&P could lower the ratings if it believes Liftoff's S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted leverage will increase above 5.0x on a sustained
basis. This could occur if:
-- The company pursues large, debt-funded acquisitions or
shareholder returns;
-- Mobile advertising competition intensifies such that the
company's revenue and earnings decline; or
-- Macroeconomic conditions weaken such that advertising growth
declines and limits the company's expansion.
S&P could raise its rating on Liftoff if:
-- The financial sponsor relinquishes control of the company; and
-- The company establishes a track record of leverage sustained
below 4.0x.

M&B SERVICES: Plan Exclusivity Period Extended to Oct. 31
---------------------------------------------------------
Judge Ronald A. Clifford, III of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Central District of California extended M&B Services, Inc.'s
exclusive periods to file a plan of reorganization and disclosure
statement to Oct. 31, 2026.
As shared by Troubled Company Reporter, the Debtor claims that due
to the issues, the Debtor will be unable to file a plan and
disclosure statement before the expiration of the exclusivity
period, June 8, 2026. The Debtor expects to timely file a plan and
disclosure statement, but seeks to extend the exclusivity period to
Oct. 31, to allow the Debtor time to propose the plan and attempt
to have it confirmed.
Therefore, the Debtor requests that the Court extend the
exclusivity period from June 8 to Oct. 31. In the event the Debtor
is unable to file a plan and disclosure statement by this date or
have a confirmed plan by that date, the Debtor may seek an
extension of the exclusivity period. Given the circumstances of the
Debtor's bankruptcy case, cause exists to extend the exclusivity
period.

M.K. WEEDEN: Claims to be Paid from Income & Sale Proceeds
----------------------------------------------------------
M.K. Weeden Construction, Inc. and affiliates filed with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Montana a Disclosure Statement
describing Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization dated June 4,
2026.
The Debtors historically operated in the construction and mining
industries. MKW Corp operated as the operating company, contracting
for construction and excavation jobs. MKE and WMK were equipment
holding companies, who leased equipment back to MKW Corp for work
on its projects.
Monte Weeden is an individual residing in Lewistown, Montana. He is
married to Julie, who is not a bankruptcy debtor but who supports
the Joint Plan. Weeden is the primary owner of MKW Corp and the
sole member of MKE and WMK, all three Montana corporations or LLCs.
Weeden is also the sole owner of non-filing entities MK Air LLC and
Weeden Construction LLC.
Since the filing of his bankruptcy, Weeden has actively engaged in
efforts to reorganize. Weeden participated in a mediation on March
27, 2025 to attempt to resolve creditor concerns surrounding his
reorganization efforts. In order to satisfy creditor concerns,
Weeden sold a parcel from the Yard Property to fund the
bankruptcies of his related entities that contained various assets
and collateral.
In these Chapter 11 Cases, the Plan contemplates payments to
creditors from a liquidation of Construction Debtors' Assets and of
certain of Ranch's real properties, funding from Ranch's ongoing
operations and potentially supplemented by ongoing income from the
Entities. The Plan is therefore referred to as a "plan of
reorganization."
Weeden's assets are primarily (1) future revenues from the cattle
herd he jointly owns with his non-debtor spouse, (2) his ownership
interest in the Weeden Entities, (3) his ownership in certain non
debtor entities, and (4) certain Causes of Action as described in
the Plan and this Disclosure Statement. The Construction Debtors’
assets are primarily (1) potential future revenues, (2) equipment
and supplies, and (3) certain Causes of Action as described in the
Plan and in this Disclosure Statement. Ranch's assets are primarily
(1) future revenue from its cattle operations and (2) real estate.
The Plan provides for Distributions to be made to certain Holders
of Administrative Expense Claims, Priority Tax Claims, Secured
Claims, and General Unsecured Claims, and Equity.
Class 11 consists of all Unsecured Claims against Weeden. Class 11
is Impaired under the Plan. The Class 11 Allowed Claims shall be
paid by Weeden as follows:
* Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of the
Class 11 Allowed Claims at the Federal Judgment Rate until the
Class 11 Allowed Claims are paid in full.
* Plan Distributions; Timing. Holders of Class 11 Allowed
Claims shall be paid from Weeden's post-Effective Date asset sales
and/or cash flow or other available funds, within five years after
the Effective Date (the "Class 11 Outside Payment Date").
* Periodic Payments and Timing. Weeden shall make a
distribution of $150,000 to Holders of Class 11 Allowed Claims, by
July 1, 2028 to be paid to Holders pro rata and if such payment is
made, shall continue to make payments of at least $150,000 not less
frequently than annually, in amounts determined in the exercise of
ordinary business judgment to comply with the Class 11 Outside
Payment Date.
Class 12 consists of all Unsecured Claims against the Construction
Debtors. The Class 12 Allowed Claims shall be paid by the Debtors
as follows:
* Interest. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal
balance of the Class 12 Allowed Claims at the Federal Judgment Rate
until the Class 12 Allowed Claims are paid in full.
* Plan Distributions; Timing. Holders of Class 12 Allowed
Claims shall be paid from Construction Debtors' post-Effective Date
asset sales and/or cash flow or other available funds, within five
years after the Effective Date (the "Class 12 Outside Payment
Date").
* Periodic Payments and Timing. Construction Debtors shall
make a distribution of $250,000 to Holders of Class 12 Allowed
Claims, by July 1, 2028 and if such payment is made, shall continue
to make payments of at least $250,000 not less frequently than
annually, in amounts determined in the exercise of ordinary
business judgment to comply with the Class 11 Outside Payment
Date.
Class 13 consists of all Unsecured Claims against Ranch. Class 13
is Impaired under the Plan. The Class 13 Allowed Claims shall be
paid by the Debtors as follows:
* Accrual of Interest. From and after the Effective Date,
interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of the Class
13 Allowed Claims at the Federal Judgment Rate until the Class 13
Allowed Claims are paid in full.
* Plan Distributions; Timing. Holders of Class 13 Allowed
Claims shall be paid in full from the Post-Effective Date Ranch
cash flow and/or other available funds within five years after the
Effective Date (the "Class 13 Outside Payment Date"). The
Post-Effective Date Ranch shall make periodic distributions to
Holders of Class 13 Allowed Claims, not less frequently than
annually, in amounts determined in the exercise of ordinary
business judgment to comply with the Class 13 Outside Payment
Date.
* No Earlier Distribution Obligation; Administrative Reserve.
Nothing herein shall require any distribution on account of Class
13 Allowed Claims prior to satisfaction of the condition precedent
set forth in Section c. above; provided, however, that the Post
Effective Date Ranch may (but are not required to) make voluntary
interim distributions if cash flow permits without impairing
treatment of Secured Classes. Ranch may establish reasonable
reserves for taxes, administrative expenses, and other obligations
senior to Class 13 in accordance with its budget filed with the
Bankruptcy Court.
Class 15 consists of all Interests in Weeden Ranch LLC. In exchange
for the retention of their ownership interests in Ranch, Monte
Weeden and Julie Weeden shall contribute $75,000.00 in total to the
Plan from non-estate property. Nonetheless, neither Monte Weeden
nor Julie Weeden shall be entitled to, or shall, receive any
distribution under the Plan on account of their retained equity
interest until creditors in all prior Classes have been paid in
full.
The Plan provides for the distribution of substantially all
projected disposable income and/or the proceeds of sales of Estate
Assets and/or recoveries from retained Causes of Action to Holders
of Allowed Claims, consistent with the priority provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code. The Plan will be implemented by various acts and
transactions as set forth in the Plan.
The Post-Effective Date Debtors shall (1) continue operations in
order to fund payments into the Plan through the deadlines set
forth in the Plan; (2) hold, manage, and sell the Real Property and
any other Estate Assets consistent with the Plan; (3) pursue or
liquidate the Causes of Action, and (4) make Distributions on
account of Allowed Claims in accordance with the Plan.

MACON ARTS: Unsecureds to be Paid in Full from Sale Proceeds
------------------------------------------------------------
Macon Arts Center, LLC, filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Middle District of Georgia a Disclosure Statement for Plan of
Reorganization dated June 3, 2026.
The Company was incorporated on April 26, 2018, in the State of
Georgia as a Georgia Domestic Limited Liability Company under
Control Number 18055217. The Company was formed to acquire the
business and real estate assets of Whiskey River Entertainment
Complex located at 4570 Pio Nono Avenue, Macon, Georgia 31206-5066.
The Company purchased Whiskey River, on April 22, 2019, through a
combination of acquisition financing in the amount of $1,436,800
and a capital injection/subordination financing package in the
amount of $824,237.
Prior to its acquisition and rebranding, Whiskey River primarily
served as a comedy club and concert facility. Following its
acquisition, the Company rebranded the asset as "Macon Arts
Center", and expanded its scope into a flexible, multi-purpose
facility capable of supporting a broader range of entertainment,
production, and commercial activities.
Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic and its effect on the viability of
large event spaces, the Company fell behind on its obligations to
Newtek and was unable to handle monthly debt service on the loan.
Newtek initiated a foreclosure action against the property in
January 2025.
As a result, in February 2025, the Company made the decision to
file for bankruptcy protection as part of a balance sheet
restructuring designed to stabilize operations, preserve asset and
enterprise value, and reposition the business for long-term
financial sustainability. In addition, the Company is utilizing the
protections afforded by the bankruptcy to facilitate the
transformation of its business into a viable multi facet
entertainment campus.
The contemplated bond financing is intended to facilitate the
Company's exit from Chapter 11 by satisfying obligations under the
confirmed plan of reorganization and establishing a long-term
capital structure designed to support stable operations and
disciplined debt service.
Class 3 consists of the Allowed Unsecured Claims. Holders of
Allowed Unsecured Claims in Class 3 will be paid in full, with
interest at the Federal Judgment Rate ("Post-petition Interest"),
through the distribution of proceeds received from the sale of the
corporate bonds issued by the Debtor. The Debtor shall pay all
Allowed Class 3 Claims within ten days of closing the Bond
Offering. Holders of Allowed Class 3 Claims shall be deemed
unimpaired and to have accepted the Plan.
Class 4 consists of the holders of Equity Interests, defined as the
rights of the holders of the equity securities of the Debtor and
the rights of any entity to purchase or demand the issuance of any
equity security of the Debtor. Equity Interests of the Debtor in
Class 4 will retain their equity interests and all associated
rights. Holders of Allowed Class 4 Claims shall be deemed
unimpaired and to have accepted the Plan.
This is a reorganization plan and all payments to creditors shall
be made from future earnings and revenues generated through the
Debtor's ongoing business and the proceeds received from the sale
of corporate bonds issued by the Debtor.
The Debtor anticipates that closing of the Bond Offering and
effectiveness of the Chapter 11 Plan will occur substantially
contemporaneously with, or immediately following, satisfaction of
required closing conditions and finalization of definitive
transaction documentation.
The benchmark delivery date for the Private Placement Memorandum is
July 22, 2026, and the Debtor expects the Bond Offering to close
within ninety days of delivery of the Private Placement Memorandum.

MISS AMERICA: Carlton Fields Seeks Role in Company Hearing
----------------------------------------------------------
Madison Arnold of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that on
Monday, June 15, 2026, Carlton Fields objected to efforts by the
CEO of Miss America and related entities to prevent one of its
lawyers from attending a status conference in the case. The firm
argued that barring counsel from the hearing would lack legal
justification and undermine due process.
In court filings, Carlton Fields said its attorney is properly
authorized to represent the firm's interests and should be
permitted to participate fully in all proceedings. The firm also
suggested that excluding counsel would disrupt the orderly progress
of the case.
The motion is part of ongoing litigation involving the Miss America
organization and companies connected to the pageant. The court will
determine whether any restrictions on counsel's participation are
warranted, the report relays.
About Miss America Competition LLC
Miss America Competition LLC is an annual competition open to women
from the United States between the ages of 18 and 28. The
competition's inception as a "bathing beauty review" was an act of
rebellion during a time when women weren't permitted to wear
swimsuits in public. In 1945, the organization started awarding
scholarships to the winner instead of prize money, making Miss
America one of the first organizations in the United States to
offer college scholarships to women.
Miss America Competition LLC sought relief under Chapter 11 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. S.D. Fla. Case No. 24-22288) on
November 22, 2024. In the petition filed by Glenn Straub, as sole
member and manager, the Debtor reports estimated assets between
$500,000 and $1 million and estimated liabilities between $1
million and $10 million.
Honorable Bankruptcy Judge Erik P. Kimball handles the case.
The Debtor is represented by Craig I. Kelley, Esq., at KELLEY
KAPLAN & ELLER, PLLC, in West Palm Beach, Florida.
MITT REAL ESTATE: Seeks Cash Collateral Access
----------------------------------------------
MITT Real Estate, LLC, asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division, for authority to
use cash collateral -- primarily post-petition rental income
generated by its residential rental properties -- and to provide
adequate protection to any secured creditors claiming interests in
those funds.
The Debtor owns two single-family rental properties in Atlanta and
one in Decatur, Georgia. The properties are valued at approximately
$817,333, while secured debt totals about $887,333 and total
liabilities exceed $906,000.
The Debtor reported gross business revenues of approximately
$312,836 in 2025 and $300,000 in 2024 but disclosed that it held no
cash or cash equivalents at the time of its Chapter 11 filing.
Because it lacks available cash, the Debtor seeks permission to use
rental income to pay only the direct and necessary expenses
required to preserve and operate the properties.
Several secured creditors assert interests in the properties
including Elite Commercial Servicing, which holds a purchase-money
loan claim of approximately $247,333 against the Decatur property.
Longhorn Investments holds purchase-loan claims totaling
approximately $525,000 against the Atlanta properties. In addition,
Ethan Group, LLC claims mechanic's liens and breach-of-contract
damages arising from construction work allegedly performed on two
of the properties, asserting $115,000 in total claims. Ethan Group
has also filed state-court litigation seeking to enforce these
liens.
A May 13 default letter issued on behalf of U.S. Bank Trust
National Association, as trustee for Chester Road Funding Trust II,
states that the borrower defaulted under the loan secured by the
Decatur property. The lender asserts that the loan documents
include a Deed to Secure Debt, Assignment of Rents, and Security
Agreement executed in January 2025. According to the lender, the
Debtor's license to collect and use rents was revoked upon default,
all rents became the lender's property, and the lender reserved the
right to seek foreclosure or appointment of a receiver. As a
result, the Debtor acknowledges that some or all post-petition
rents may constitute cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code and,
therefore, cannot be used without creditor consent or court
authorization.
The Debtor seeks authority to spend rental receipts only on direct,
property-level expenses necessary to preserve, maintain, and
operate the rental properties. Permitted expenditures would include
property taxes, insurance premiums, utilities, routine repairs,
maintenance, lawn care, pest control, trash services,
code-compliance expenses, leasing and tenant turnover costs, bank
charges, and similar operating expenses. The Debtor expressly
excludes owner draws, insider compensation, distributions to equity
holders, payment of pre-petition unsecured debts, and general
professional fees unless separately approved by the court.
According to the Debtor, these restrictions ensure that rental
income is used solely to preserve the value of the collateral and
maintain revenue-producing assets.
To satisfy adequate protection requirements, the Debtor proposes
several safeguards. It will operate under strict budgets and
maintain a segregated debtor-in-possession bank account with
separate accounting ledgers for each property. Monthly reports will
be provided to secured creditors and the U.S. Trustee, showing
beginning balances, rent receipts, expenditures, ending balances,
and supporting bank statements. The Debtor will maintain insurance
coverage on all properties and use rents only for approved
operating costs. Most significantly, any net rental income
remaining after payment of authorized expenses from a property
subject to a proven and perfected assignment of rents or other rent
lien will either be remitted to the creditor asserting that
interest or held in the debtor-in-possession account pending
further court order. The Debtor contends that these protections
prevent any diminution in the value of creditors' interests while
allowing the properties to remain functional and income-producing.

NORTHERN INYO: S&P Alters Outlook to Negative, Affirms 'B' ICR
--------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings revised the outlook to negative from stable and
affirmed its 'B' long-term rating on Northern Inyo County Local
Hospital District (NIHD), California's general obligation (GO)
bonds and revenue bonds.
The outlook revision reflects persistent and material operating
losses, as well as weak cash flow and maximum annual debt service
(MADS) coverage, which are expected to continue during the outlook
period.
S&P said, "We view NIHD's social capital risk as elevated because
its operations are in a modestly sized, limited service area in
eastern California that remains challenged, with stagnant
population and employment growth. NIHD's concentration in
governmental payers is also contributing to its elevated social
capital risk. We also view NIHD's physical risk as elevated given
its location in an area historically prone to earthquakes and
wildfires. That said, NIHD has partially mitigated physical risks
by investing in strategic capital projects to meet state-mandated
seismic building codes and by ensuring that the hospital is
compliant with seismic standards through 2030.
"We also analyzed NIHD's governance risk and determined it is
elevated in light of ongoing risks associated with the district's
underfunded defined-benefit pension plan, as the plan exposes NIHD
to contribution volatility and could pressure already strained
operations. Furthermore, the board of directors is elected by the
voters and certified by the county and is not self-perpetuating,
which we consider best practice, although we note that this
structure has not hampered NIHD's ability to execute on its
strategies.
"The negative outlook reflects our view of NIHD's sustained
material operating losses, which are expected to persist during the
outlook period. Precluding a lower rating at this time are the
district's solid DCOH for the rating level, our expectation that
NIHD will not violate debt service coverage covenants, and
management's focus on operating improvements.
"We could lower the rating if NIHD is unable to demonstrate a trend
of improved performance or MADS coverage over 1x, as per S&P Global
Ratings' calculation. We could also lower the rating if NIHD
increases its already heavy debt load or violates its financial
covenants such that an event of default is triggered. Finally, any
deterioration in unrestricted reserves or enterprise profile
characteristics could result in a lower rating.
"We could revise the outlook to stable if NIHD's operating
performance improves, generating operating margins approaching
break-even as well as adequate MADS coverage consistently above
covenant levels. We would also view positively growth in
unrestricted reserves, further reduction in leverage, and steps to
address the large pension liability."

-------------------------------------------------------------
Onyx Business Solutions of Florida, Inc. filed with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida a Plan of
Reorganization dated June 4, 2026.
The Debtor is a corporation which leases printers to organizations
in Florida.
The Debtor's Plan will be funded by the current and future income
of the Debtor. The Debtor proposes a reasonable Plan which is
proposed in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law.
This Plan provides for two classes of secured claims and one class
of general unsecured claims. Unsecured creditors holding allowed
claims will receive a pro rata distribution of the Debtor's
projected net disposable income payable over five years. This Plan
also provides for the payment of administrative and priority claims
under the terms to the extent permitted by the Code or by agreement
between the Debtor and the claimant.
Class 3 consists of General allowable unsecured claims. This would
include all allowed unsecured claims. This class will be paid pro
rata through a plan pool in the amount of $95,000 over five years
in monthly payments of $1,583. This Class is impaired.
Class 4 consists of Equity Security Holders of the Debtor. The
Debtor will retain its equity in the property of the bankruptcy
estate postconfirmation.
The Debtor shall fund the Plan through its continued business
operations. The Debtor expects increased revenue through the
implementation of new business procedures and cost-saving
initiatives.

PACIFIC PRAIRIE: Unsecured Creditors to be Paid in Full in Plan
---------------------------------------------------------------
Pacific Prairie Holdings, LLC, filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Eastern District of Wisconsin a Disclosure Statement
describing Plan of Reorganization dated June 4, 2026.
The Debtor is a single asset real estate company formed in 2016 to
operate a restaurant, bar, and coffee shop located at S42 W31428
Hwy 83, Genesee Depot, WI 53127. The Debtor benefits from its
less-than-half-mile proximity to the Ten Chimneys national historic
landmark.
Ten Chimneys received the designation in 2003 from the National
Park Service and is a pilgrimage for those interested in acting and
theater. The Debtor and its wholly-owned operating company, Vittles
and Vine, LLC, cater to the tourism that frequents Ten Chimneys in
addition to their regular customers in the community.
The real estate is currently outfitted with restaurant and bar
space on the first floor and one completed residential unit on the
second floor. There are three additional units for short-term
rental, two on the second floor and one on the first, which the
Debtor plans to build out and rent during the Plan term. Its only
income source is (a) $2,000 per month for rent of the completed
residential unit to the Debtor’s owners Kristina Verzi and Steve
Smith and (b) $3,000 per month for rent of the restaurant and bar
space to Vittles.
This case was primarily filed to restructure the Debtor's SBA 7(a)
loan with Waukesha State Bank. The Plan seeks to impose
commercially reasonable repayment terms on the claim of Waukesha
State Bank.
Class 2 consists of General Unsecured Claims. The Debtor did not
schedule any nonpriority unsecured claims. However, on June 17,
2025, Creditor the Department of Treasury – Internal Revenue
Service filed its Claim No. 2 as a general unsecured claim in the
amount of $200.00 arising from estimated income tax liabilities for
2024 (for which year the Debtor is on an extension), and 2025. On
September 16, 2025, Creditor the Wisconsin Department of Revenue
filed its Claim No. 3 with a general unsecured portion of $558.24.
No other non governmental creditor filed proof of a nonpriority
unsecured claim before the July 14, 2025 bar date.
The Debtor will pay the entire Class 2 Claim in full on or before
the first day of the month following the Effective Date from cash
reserves held by the Debtor and Vittles. Class 2 is impaired and
the holders of Class 2 Claims are entitled to vote to accept or
reject the Plan.
Class 3 consists of Equity Interests. Kristina Verzi and Steve
Smith shall retain their equity interests in the Debtor subject to
the terms of this Plan.
The Debtor will make Plan payments through a combination of:
* monthly rents received from Vittles in the amount of
$3,000.00 to fund payments to Class 1. Following the Effective
Date, the Debtor and Vittles may amend their lease from time to
time to include a rental amount sufficient to fund payments to
Class 1;
* monthly rents received from Kristina Verzi and Steve Smith
in the amount of $2,000.00 to fund payments to Class 1;
* lump sum payments from cash reserves from the Debtor and
Vittles to fund payments to priority tax claims ($1,844.43) and
Class 2 ($758.24).
* if needed, contributions from Kristina Verzi and Steve Smith
personally to fund monthly payments to Class 1.

PRESENTATION MEDIA: Amends Unsecured Claims Pay Details
-------------------------------------------------------
Presentation Media, Inc., submitted a First Amended Disclosure
Statement describing Chapter 11 Plan dated June 3, 2026.
Nathan Nielson holds a 50% interest in the Debtor and his spouse
holds the other 50% interest. Mr. Nielson operates the business.
Prepetition, Nielson Properties owned the building in which the
Debtor operated its business. Prepetition, Nielson Properties was
merged into the Debtor. Harvest Bank has taken the position that
the merger of the Properties entity violated the due on sale
provision in Harvest's note.
However, Harvest Bank now asserts that the due on sale provision
was triggered. Harvest has changed its position. The Debtor
disagrees as Harvest had an obligation to take an affirmative step
to trigger the due on sale provision. It did not do so pre
bankruptcy. While Harvest has argued that the provision was
automatically triggered, the provision states to the contrary.
To the extent the Debtor paid monies to any merchant cash advance
company ("MCA"), e.g. LoanMe, Inc. For $16,514.04, the Debtor will
retain the right as the Reorganized Debtor, to bring suit against
any MCA for avoidances, for fraud and for other legal claims. The
Debtor is not aware of any of these transactions other than with
LoanMe, Inc.
Prepetition the Debtor paid monies to AMEX ($184,527) and to
Citibank ($74,000) for credit card charges made for the Debtor for
the Debtor's business needs. The sums paid are substantial and the
Debtor retains the power to sue them post-confirmation.
Notwithstanding, AMEX and Citibank provided value in exchange for
monies paid. The Debtor made regular payments to these companies.
The payments to these two companies are included in the liquidation
analysis.
Class 1 consists of Harvest Small Business Finance. Claim amount
$3,532,425.25. Payments amortized over 30 years with interest at
6.5%. Payments begin in month 5 @ $12,000/ mo., increase in year 3
to $15,000/mo. and to $25,000 /mo. in year 8. Balloon payment of
$2,004,855.83 (estimated) after 360 months.
The ballon payment will be paid through a refinance of the
Property. Prior to confirmation, the Debtor will have the Property
appraised which should limit the amount of claims secured by the
Property. The present note matures in the early 2050s and under the
Plan would mature a few years later. During the plan term the
Debtor will have paid down liens against the Property and the value
of the building will likely increase.
Class 4 consists of General Unsecured Creditors. Based upon

PSS TRUCKING: Unsecured Creditors to Get 1 Cent on Dollar in Plan
-----------------------------------------------------------------
PSS Trucking, Inc. filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of California a Plan of Reorganization for Small
Business under Subchapter V dated June 4, 2026.
The Debtor is a Corporation. Since April 2014, the Debtor has been
in the business of providing trucking services.
However, Debtor ceased operations in 2024 for two reasons: (1)
Debtor's insurance was cancelled due to drivers being involved in
accidents and (2) the allowance of non-domiciled drivers flooded
the market driving down margins to the point that operations were
no longer feasible. Yet Parmvir Singh Sidhu, Debtor's sole
principal continues to hold connections with customers and
subhaulers.
The Debtor has tax loss carry forwards which are valuable. Hence,
Debtor has elected to resume operations as soon as an acceptable
insurance policy can be secured.
The Debtor's financial projections show that the Debtor will have
projected disposable income of $76,230 The final Plan payment is
expected to be paid on July 2029, which is anticipated to be 36
months after the effective date.
This Plan of Reorganization proposes to pay creditors of the Debtor
from future operations.
Non-priority unsecured creditors holding allowed claims will
receive distributions, which the proponent of this Plan has valued
at approximately 1 cents on the dollar consistent with the
liquidation analysis in Exhibit A and projected disposable income
in Exhibit B. This Plan also provides for the payment of
administrative and priority claims.
Class 2 consists of Non-priority unsecured claims. General
unsecured creditors shall receive a pro-rata distribution of
$24,536 over a period of 30 months payable in pro-rata
distributions of $870.59/month on the 1st day of the month
commencing in the 7th month after the Effective Date of the Plan.
In the event the total distribution to a given unsecured creditor
is less than $150.00, Debtor will pay such distribution on the
Effective Date. For the remaining creditors, In the event the
monthly distribution is less than $50.00, Debtor may accrue the
distribution and pay it when the accrual exceeds $50.00 or pay the
entire amount owed under the plan at any time.
Class 4 consists of Equity security holders of the Debtor. Parmvir
Sidhu, the sole shareholder of Debtor, shall retain all equity
interest in the Debtor.
The plan will be implemented from the operations once operations
resume. Mr. Sidhu is well connected in the industry and very
knowledgeable about trucking operations. He is easily able to
procure business. Though Debtor does not currently own trucks,
Debtor is connected with subhaulers. Hence Debtor will initially
use subhaulers to execute on contracts. Once cashflow resumes,
Debtor may start acquiring trucks and trailers.

Bellevue, Wash.-based Grant Thornton LLP, the Company's auditor
since 2013, issued a "going concern" qualification in its report
dated August 26, 2025, attached to the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2025, citing that the
Company believes it will be in violation of the net leverage
coverage covenant for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The
Company's plan contemplates the Company negotiating waivers to
these covenants and is evaluating strategies to restructure or
refinance the existing term debt. If the Company is unable to
obtain additional waivers, the term debt will become immediately
due, and additional liquidity will be required to satisfy the
obligations. The Company's ability to achieve the foregoing
elements of its business, which may be necessary to permit the
realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the
ordinary course of business, is uncertain and raises substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

QUEENS MEDICAL: Claims to be Paid from Continued Operation
----------------------------------------------------------
Queens Medical Services P.C. filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Eastern District of New York a Disclosure Statement
describing Chapter 11 Plan dated June 4, 2026.
Since August 18, 2000, the Debtor has been engaged in the practice
of medicine. The Debtor operates a medical practice in New York and
provides medical services to patients through its professional
medical office.
During the two years preceding the commencement of this Chapter 11
case, and during the pendency of this Chapter 11 case, Dr. David
Guha, sole shareholder and president, has received compensation in
the form of his regular salary in the ordinary course of the
Debtor's business. Dr. Guha has not received separate officer
compensation.
The Debtor filed this Chapter 11 case on March 6, 2026. The
Debtor's need for bankruptcy relief arose primarily from a judgment
obtained by a former landlord on July 30, 2025 in the amount of
$178,168.22.
The Court established June 20, 2026, as the deadline for creditors
to file proofs of claim. As of the date of this Disclosure
Statement, proofs of claim have been filed by the Internal Revenue
Service, the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance, the
New York State Department of Labor, and American Express National
Bank.
Class 2 consists of equity interest holders. Dr. David Guha shall
retain his ownership interest in the Debtor.
Payments and distributions under the Plan will be funded through
the continued operation of the Debtor's medical practice and future
business revenue generated by the Debtor.
The Plan Proponent's financial projections show that the Debtor
will have an aggregate annual average cash flow, after paying
operating expenses and post-confirmation taxes, of $60,000. The
final Plan payment is expected to be paid on 60 months after the
Effective Date of the Plan.

R V K INC: Lender Seeks to Prohibit Cash Collateral Access
----------------------------------------------------------
Poppy Bank asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District
of New York to prohibit R V K Inc. from using cash collateral.
The Bank argues that the Debtor has repeatedly failed to comply
with core debtor-in-possession obligations since filing on April 7,
2026, including failing to submit required schedules, monthly
operating reports, proof of insurance, a corporate ownership
statement, or confirmation of a debtor-in-possession bank account,
and even failing to appear at the section 341 meeting. A separate
U.S. Trustee motion to dismiss is already pending based on these
deficiencies.
Poppy Bank asserts it holds a first-priority perfected security
interest in substantially all of the Debtor's assets, including
inventory, accounts, and all proceeds—meaning that cash generated
from operations constitutes the Bank’s cash collateral. Despite
this, the Debtor has allegedly used cash collateral without
consent, without court authorization, and in violation of both 11
U.S.C. section363(c)(2) and the Court's Case Management Order,
which expressly requires a motion and hearing before any use of
cash collateral. The Bank emphasizes that it has not consented and
has received no budget, transparency, or adequate financial
reporting, only minimal and incomplete financial information
suggesting limited inventory value and no balance sheet.
The Bank further contends that the Debtor's continued unauthorized
use of collateral, combined with its broader noncompliance and lack
of disclosure, places the Bank's secured position at risk and
violates statutory requirements that cash collateral may only be
used with creditor consent or court approval and only if adequately
protected. Poppy Bank requests an order immediately prohibiting any
further use of its cash collateral unless it provides written
consent or the Court imposes strict conditions, including adequate
protection, detailed budgets, full financial reporting, insurance
documentation, and inspection rights. Alternatively, if use is
permitted, the Bank seeks stringent safeguards and reserves the
right to pursue dismissal, conversion, or appointment of a
trustee.

the Plan. The Plan Proponent's financial projections show that the
Debtor will have projected disposable income of $147,475.00. After
payment of administrative, priority and secured claims, the Debtor
projects that it will have $7,170.12 to distribute to unsecured
creditors.
The final Plan payment is expected to be paid on June 1, 2029.
This Plan of Reorganization proposes to pay creditors from
continued operation of the Debtor's business and from pursuit of
causes of action held by the Debtor against its formed landlord for
wrongful eviction and abusive litigation.
The net proceeds of any such litigation shall be applied first to
payment of the allowed claims of Class 3 general unsecured
creditors, then to payment of secured claims to provide early
retirement of plan payment obligations and then, following entry of
Discharge, to equity holders of the Debtor.
Non-priority unsecured creditors holding allowed claims will
receive distributions, which the proponent of this Plan has valued
at approximately .02 cents on the dollar.
This Plan provides for full payment of administrative expenses and
priority claims.
Class 3 consists of General Unsecured Claims. Unless the holder and
the Debtor agre upon a less favorable treatment, holders of Class 3
claims shall be paid pro-rata from the monthly amount of the net
distributable income of the Debtor available to pay unsecured
claims over the term of the Plan. The holders of Class 3 Claims are
impaired.

READY ROOFING: Gets Interim OK to Use Cash Collateral
-----------------------------------------------------
Ready Roofing, LLC got the green light from the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Middle District of Florida, Jacksonville Division, to
use cash collateral.
At the recently held hearing, the court authorized the Debtor's
interim use of cash collateral through July 16.
The cash collateral consists of accounts receivable, cash, chattel
paper, contracts, bank accounts, and related assets, which are
subject to pre-petition security interests granted to lenders
including the U.S. Small Business Administration, Kalamata Capital
Group, LLC, and Finova Capital, LLC. The SBA loan, secured by
equipment, inventory, chattel paper, and accounts receivable, is
reported as current while the obligations to Kalamata Capital and
Finova Capital, which are secured by future receivables, are
delinquent.
The Debtor estimates that its cash and receivables less than 90
days old are worth approximately $64,000.
The Debtor offers adequate protection to secured creditors through
replacement liens on post-petition cash collateral, preserving
creditors' interests while allowing business operations to continue
during the Chapter 11 case. Additional safeguards include insurance

RED RIVER: J&J Wants Talc MDL Tossed After Plaintiffs Drop Experts
------------------------------------------------------------------
George Woolston of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that Johnson
& Johnson has asked a New Jersey federal court to dismiss the
remaining talc-related cases in a massive multidistrict litigation,
citing plaintiffs' withdrawal of key expert witnesses. The company
argues the development leaves the claims without the required
evidentiary support.
The filing asserts that expert testimony is essential in
establishing causation in the ovarian cancer allegations at the
center of the MDL. J&J maintains that without such testimony, the
plaintiffs cannot meet their burden of proof under federal law.
The motion seeks to terminate the remaining cases after years of
coordinated litigation in federal court. J&J argues that continued
proceedings are unwarranted given the absence of admissible expert
evidence, the report states.
About J&J Talc Units
LLT Management, LLC (formerly known as LTL Management LLC) was a
subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson that was formed to manage and
defend thousands of talc-related claims and oversee the operations
of Royalty A&M. Royalty A&M owns a portfolio of royalty revenue
streams, including royalty revenue streams based on third-party
sales of LACTAID, MYLANTA/MYLICON and ROGAINE products.
LTL Management first filed a petition for Chapter 11 protection
(Bankr. W.D.N.C. Case No. 21-30589) on Oct. 14, 2021. The case was
transferred to New Jersey (Bankr. D.N.J. Case No. 21-30589) on Nov.
16, 2021. The Hon. Michael B. Kaplan is the case judge. At the time
of the filing, the Debtor was estimated to have $1 billion to $10
billion in both assets and liabilities.
In the 2021 case, LTL Management tapped Jones Day and Rayburn
Cooper & Durham, P.A., as bankruptcy counsel; King & Spalding, LLP
and Shook, Hardy & Bacon LLP as special counsel; McCarter &
English, LLP as litigation consultant; Bates White, LLC as
financial consultant; and AlixPartners, LLP as restructuring
advisor. Epiq Corporate Restructuring, LLC, served as the claims
agent.
On Dec. 24, 2021, the U.S. Trustee for Regions 3 and 9
reconstituted the talc claimants' committee and appointed two
separate committees: (i) the official committee of talc claimants
I, which represents ovarian cancer claimants, and (ii) the official
committee of talc claimants II, which represents mesothelioma
claimants.
The official committee of talc claimants I tapped Genova Burns LLC,
Brown Rudnick LLP, Otterbourg PC and Parkins Lee & Rubio LLP as its
legal counsel. Meanwhile, the official committee of talc claimants
II is represented by the law firms of Cooley LLP, Bailey Glasser
LLP, Waldrep Wall Babcock & Bailey PLLC, Massey & Gail LLP, and
Sherman Silverstein Kohl Rose & Podolsky P.A.
Re-Filing of Chapter 11 Petition
On Jan. 30, 2023, a panel of the Third Circuit issued an opinion
directing this Court to dismiss the 2021 Chapter 11 Case on the
basis that it was not filed in good faith. Although the Third
Circuit panel recognized that the Debtor "inherited massive
liabilities" and faced "thousands" of future claims, it concluded
that the Debtor was not in financial distress before the filing.
On March 22, 2023, the Third Circuit entered an order denying the
Debtor's petition for rehearing. The Third Circuit entered an order
denying LTL's stay motion on March 31, 2023, and, on the dame
day,issued its mandate directing the Bankruptcy Court to dismiss
the 2021 Chapter 11 Case.
The Bankruptcy Court entered an order dismissing the 2021 Case on
April 4, 2023.
Johnson & Johnson on April 4, 2023, announced that its subsidiary
LTL Management LLC (LTL) has re-filed for voluntary Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection (Bankr. D.N.J. Case No. 23-12825) to obtain
approval of a reorganization plan that will equitably and
efficiently resolve all claims arising from cosmetic talc
litigation against the Company and its affiliates in North
America.
In the new filing, J&J said it has agreed to contribute up to a
present value of $8.9 billion, payable over 25 years, to resolve
all the current and future talc claims, which is an increase of
$6.9 billion over the $2 billion previously committed in connection
with LTL's initial bankruptcy filing in October 2021. LTL also has
secured commitments from over 60,000 current claimants to support a
global resolution on these terms.
In August 2023, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Michael Kaplan in Trenton,
New Jersey, ruled that the second bankruptcy case should be
dismissed.
3rd Try
In May 2024, J&J announced its subsidiary LLT Management LLC is
soliciting support for a consensual prepackaged bankruptcy plan to
resolve its talc-related liabilities. Under the terms of the plan,
a trust would be funded with over $5.4 billion in the first three
years and more than $8 billion over the course of 25 years, which
J&J calculates to have a net present value of $6.475 billion. If
the Plan is accepted by at least 75% of voters, a bankruptcy was to
be filed under the case name In re Red River Talc LLC. Epiq
Corporate Restructuring, LLC is serving as balloting and
solicitation agent for LLT.
On Sept. 20, 2024, Red River Talc LLC filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy
petition (Bankr. S.D. Tex. Case No. 24-90505). Porter Hedges LLP
and Jones Day serve as counsel in the new Chapter 11 case. Epiq is
the claims agent.
Paul Hastings LLP is counsel to the Ad Hoc Committee of Supporting
Counsel. Randi S. Ellis is the proposed prepetition legal
representative of future claimants.

ROYAL HASS: Unsecured Creditors to Split $133K in Plan
------------------------------------------------------
Royal Hass, LLC filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of Georgia an Amended and Restated Plan of
Reorganization dated June 4, 2026.
The Debtor has been operating since 2017 and is a Georgia limited
liability company. Debtor imports and distributes fresh fruits and
vegetables, including, more specifically, avocados from Mexico (the
"Business").
At the start of 2025, Royal Hass became aware of internal
accounting issues. It was taking too long for transactions between
Royal Hass and buyers/growers to be registered in the accounting
ledger. During this time, Royal Hass's accounting system was hacked
by ransomware. Royal Hass could not access its accounting system
for a month and had to pay $50,000.00 to regain access to the
accounting system. This hack led to a backlog in the accounting
systems transactions, exacerbating accounting issues.
Also, a potential buyer scammed $85,000.00 worth of avocados from
Royal Hass and never paid Royal Hass back. Royal Hass tried
contacting the police to get the avocados back, but was
unsuccessful in its recovery efforts.
In August 2025, Royal Hass noticed that it was behind on payments
to suppliers and other creditors and needed additional funding in
order to maintain business operations. Therefore, Royal Hass took
out multiple Merchant Cash Advances ("MCAs"). These MCAs required
Royal Hass to make daily and weekly payments on the debt. The
payments were removed by an ACH transfer initiated by the MCA
lenders. Royal Hass had no control over when the payments were
removed from its bank accounts. It also had no control over what
funds the MCA lenders took from its bank account.
The weekly payments to the MCAs crippled Royal Hass's cash flow.
Royal Hass was unable to pay its other obligations, including PACA
suppliers. Ultimately, the MCA lenders sent letters to Royal Hass's
customers directing customers to pay the MCA lenders instead of
Royal Hass. When Royal Hass discovered that the MCAs sought to take
over its receivables, it filed for bankruptcy to reorganize and
satisfy the PACA claims.
This Plan deals with all property of Debtor and provides for
treatment of all Claims against Debtor and its property.
Class 10 consists of general unsecured claims and any other claims
not otherwise specifically classified in the Plan, including
deficiency claims pursuant to Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code
and any Allowed rejection damages (collectively, the "Class 10
General Unsecured Claims"). The allowed unsecured claims total
$1,156,758.47.
The Debtor will pay the Holders of Class 10 General Unsecured
Claims a total of $133,000.00 (shared pro rata) in accordance with
the Budget commencing on the month indicated in the Budget and
counting as set forth on the Budget with payment made on or by the
28th day of the applicable month in which a payment is due to the
Class 10 General Unsecured Creditors.
The Class 10 General Unsecured Claims are Impaired by the Plan and
the Holders of the Class 10 General Unsecured Claims are entitled
to vote to accept or reject the Plan. Notwithstanding anything else
in this Plan to the contrary, any Class 10 General Unsecured Claim
shall be reduced by any payment received by the creditor holding
such claim from any third party or other obligor and Debtor's
obligations hereunder shall be reduced accordingly.
Class 11 consists of the Equity Claims. Antonio Moreno owns 100% of
the membership interest in the Debtor and shall retain his 100%
interest in Debtor. The holders of Class 11 Claims are not Impaired
by the Plan and the holders of the Class 11 Claims are conclusively
deemed to have accepted the plan.
Upon confirmation, Debtor will be charged with administration of
the Case. Debtor will be authorized and empowered to take such
actions as are required to effectuate the Plan. Debtor will file
all post-confirmation reports required by the United States
Trustee's office. Debtor will also file the necessary final reports
and may apply for a final decree after substantial consummation at
such time as Debtor deems appropriate unless otherwise required by
the Bankruptcy Court.
The source of funds for the payments pursuant to the Plan is the
continued operations of Debtor and the PACA Reserve.

RTB DIGITAL: D. Bailey Leaves Board to Focus on Nakamoto CEO Role
-----------------------------------------------------------------
RTB Digital, Inc. (formerly RYVYL Inc.) announced in a regulatory
filing that co-founder David Bailey of the recently acquired
business will depart the board of directors to focus on his role as
Chief Executive Officer of Nakamoto, Inc. (NASDAQ Symbol: NAKA).
Mr. Bailey helped launch RTB as a founding investor and board
member, including the latest round of funding, and served for the
second time on a public-company board with founder James Heckman.
"David is a great friend and has been a critical partner to
Roundtable," said Heckman. "We are grateful for his support and are
excited to watch him grow Nakamoto.
Mr. Bailey's departure is not a result of any disagreement between
the parties, or on any matter relating to the Company's operations,
policies or practices.
About RTB Digital, Inc.
Roundtable (RTB Digital, Inc.) is a Web3, digital media SaaS
platform company, providing white-label, full stack distribution,
community, publishing and monetization for professional media
brands and journalists - fortified and powered by a digital
liquidity pool integrated into the platform.
Rowland Heights, CA-based Simon & Edward, LLP, RYVYL's auditor
since 2022, issued a "going concern" qualification in its report
dated April 15, 2026, attached to the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, citing that the
Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has
experienced significant liquidity constraints following the
discontinuation of its QuickCard operations and the sale of its
European subsidiary, Ryvyl EU. These factors, alongside
expectations of continued operating losses, raise substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $9.9 million in total assets,
$10.9 million in total liabilities, and $972 thousand in total
stockholders' deficit.
S&G LABS: Seeks to Extend Plan Exclusivity to Sept. 7
-----------------------------------------------------
S&G Labs Hawaii, LLC, asked the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Colorado to extend its exclusivity periods to file a
plan of reorganization and obtain acceptance thereof to Sept. 7 and
Nov. 6, 2026, respectively.
The Debtor filed its Plan within the 120-day period and therefore
maintains the exclusive right to propose a plan and shall maintain
such right until the Plan is confirmed, provided the Plan is
confirmed within 180 days after the Petition Date or as extended.
The Court approved Debtor's first request to extend the respective
deadlines to June 8 and August 6, 2026.
The Debtor now seeks to extend the Exclusive Period and the
Solicitation Period an additional approximately 90 days, without
prejudice to seeking further extensions if circumstances require
it.
The Debtor explains that several factors favor granting the
requested extension. First, good faith progress has been made
towards reorganization, as evidenced by the filing of the Plan
within the initial 120-day exclusivity window. Second, the filed
Plan is a viable reorganization plan that addresses pre-petition
claims and accounts for all bankruptcy estate assets. Third, the
Debtor is paying its bills as they come due and filing its monthly
operating reports. Fourth, the Debtor is not seeking an extension
to pressure creditors.
Fifth, and most significant, unresolved contingencies exist. On May
5, creditor Darren Graves filed a motion seeking the appointment of
a chapter 11 trustee. Debtor timely responded to the motion on June
2. At the initial hearing on the adequacy of the Disclosure
Statement on May 28, the impact of the trustee motion on the plan
confirmation process was discussed.
In addition, the Court encouraged the parties to consider
mediation. Debtor is in favor of mediation. The Court scheduled a
continued status and scheduling conference to be held on June 23.
Until these two issues are resolved, Debtor's plan will likely be
held in abeyance. These are therefore "unresolved contingencies"
warranting a further extension of exclusivity.

SAIG LAUNDRY: Unsecureds Will Get 10% of Claims over 60 Months
--------------------------------------------------------------
Saig Laundry LLC d/b/a Red Bird Laundry Center filed with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas a Subchapter V
Plan of Reorganization dated June 4, 2026.
The Debtor operates a self-service laundromat business known as Red
Bird Laundry Center located at 4333 Gannon Lane, Suite 107, Dallas,
Texas 75237.
The Debtor acquired and operates commercial laundry equipment and
related systems financed by Clean Laundry Funding. CLF asserts a
security interest in substantially all of the Debtor's assets,
including equipment, accounts, inventory, deposit accounts, general
intangibles, and proceeds.
The Debtor's financial distress resulted primarily from the debt
service obligations associated with the CLF financing, together
with ordinary business pressures including rent, utilities, labor,
repairs, insurance, and other operating expenses. The Debtor
elected to file this Chapter 11 Subchapter V case as the best means
to preserve the going-concern value of the business, restructure
its obligations, and determine the secured portion of CLF's claim.
The Debtor believes that the business is viable if allowed to
continue operating under a sustainable debt structure. The Debtor
further believes that continued operation by existing management
provides creditors, including CLF, with a greater recovery than
would be available through liquidation, repossession, or the
exercise of contractual takeover remedies.
The Debtor anticipates having sufficient cash available to fund the
Plan and pay creditors pursuant to the proposed treatment. It is
anticipated that after confirmation, the Debtor will continue in
business. Based upon the projections, the Debtor believes it can
service the payments required under this Plan while maintaining the
business, preserving the collateral, and supporting ordinary-course
operational needs.
The Debtor will continue operating its business. The Debtor's Plan
will break the existing claims into four classes of Claimants.
These claimants will receive cash repayments over time, beginning
on or after the Effective Date.
Class 3 consists of all Allowed General Unsecured Claims, including
the unsecured deficiency portion of the claim asserted by Clean
Laundry Funding and the claim of the Estate of Joseph Mclin. The
allowed unsecured claims total $600,000.00.
The Debtor shall distribute the sum of $60,000.00 to holders of
Allowed General Unsecured Claims over the sixty-month term of the
Plan. Distributions shall be made pro rata among all holders of
Allowed General Unsecured Claims. Based upon currently known
claims, holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims are projected
to receive approximately ten percent of their Allowed Claims.
Clean Laundry Funding's unsecured deficiency claim is projected to
receive approximately $53,298.90. The Estate of Joseph Mclin claim
is projected to receive approximately $6,701.10. Actual
distributions may vary based upon the final allowance,
disallowance, objection, settlement, or reconciliation of claims.
In accordance with Section 1191(c)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, in
the event this Plan is confirmed pursuant to Section 1191(b) of the
Bankruptcy Code, the Debtor commits that all of its projected
disposable income, as that term is defined in Section 1191(d) of
the Bankruptcy Code, to be received during the five-year period
following the Effective Date, or such longer period as the Court
may approve, shall be applied to make payments under this Plan.
Class 4 consists of Equity Interest Holders. In a limited liability
company, the Equity Interest holder is Straight Aim Investors. Will
retain existing 100% ownership interest in the Debtor/Reorganized
Debtor. No distribution shall be made to him from Plan Payments on
account of such interest.
The Debtor anticipates that the business will continue operating to
fund the Plan. If the Plan is confirmed under section 1191(a), the
Debtor shall, from the Petition Date to the Effective Date, timely
file monthly operating reports with the Bankruptcy Court for each
month (including any fraction thereof) in a form reasonably
acceptable to the U.S. Trustee.

In connection with the Restructuring Support Agreement, on April 1,

either (a) a first lien senior secured term loan facility or an

the "Incremental New Money Facilities"), in each case subject to
any in-kind increases and/or dollar-for-dollar reductions as more
fully set forth in the New Capital Commitment Letter.
Class 4-E consists of all OpCo General Unsecured Claims. In full
and final satisfaction, compromise, settlement, release, and
discharge of each Allowed OpCo General Unsecured Claim, except to
the extent that a Holder of an Allowed OpCo General Unsecured Claim
agrees to less favorable treatment with respect to such Holder's
Claim, on the Effective Date, each Holder of an Allowed OpCo
General Unsecured Claim shall receive, subject to the terms of the
Plan, its pro rata share of the Litigation Trust Class B Interests,
as set forth in Section 6.8 of the Plan and the Litigation Trust
Documents. The OpCo General Unsecured Claims are Impaired Claims.
Class 5-D consists of all HoldCo II General Unsecured Claims. In
full and final satisfaction, compromise, settlement, release, and
discharge of each HoldCo II General Unsecured Claim, except to the
extent that a Holder of an Allowed HoldCo II General Unsecured
Claim agrees to less favorable treatment with respect to such
Holder's Claim, on the Effective Date, each Holder of an Allowed
HoldCo II General Unsecured Claim shall receive, subject to the
terms of the Plan, its pro rata share of the Litigation Trust Class
B Interests, as set forth in Section 6.8 of the Plan and the
Litigation Trust Documents. The HoldCo II General Unsecured Claims
are Impaired Claims.
Class 6-B consists of all TopCo General Unsecured Claims. On the
Effective Date, the TopCo General Unsecured Claims will be
cancelled, released, and extinguished without any distribution on
account of such Claims. The TopCo General Unsecured Claims are
Impaired Claims.
The projected recovery for general unsecured claims are still "to
be determined", according to the Disclosure Statement.
As of the Effective Date, the Litigation Trustee shall be appointed
as trustee of the Litigation Trust in accordance with the Plan,
Confirmation Order, and the Litigation Trust Documents. The
Litigation Trustee shall have all of the rights and
responsibilities set forth in the Plan, the Committee Settlement,
and the Litigation Trust Documents. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, the Litigation Trustee shall administer
distributions to Litigation Trust Beneficiaries to the extent
provided under the Plan, the Committee Settlement, and the
Litigation Trust Documents, and shall serve as the representative
of the Estates under section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code for the
purpose of pursuing Litigation Trust Retained Causes of Action.
The Litigation Trustee shall be authorized to make distributions of
Litigation Trust Proceeds solely in the following waterfall, in all
cases, net of the Litigation Trust Fees and Expenses and the
Litigation Trust Reserve (the "Litigation Trust Allocation"):
* First, the Reorganized Global Debtors shall receive 100% of
any Litigation Trust Proceeds until an amount equal to the
Litigation Trust MOIC (inclusive, for the avoidance of doubt, of
the Litigation Trust Initial Funding Amount) has been paid in Cash
to the Reorganized Global Debtors (the "Litigation Trust Repayment
Distribution");
* Second, after the Litigation Trust Repayment Distribution
occurs, the Litigation Trust will distribute 50% of all Litigation
Trust Proceeds to holders of Litigation Trust Class A Interests and
50% of all Litigation Trust Proceeds to holders of Litigation Trust
Class B Interests on a dollar-for-dollar basis until an aggregate
amount of $80 million has been distributed to Litigation Trust
Beneficiaries (the "Litigation Trust Initial Distribution"); and
* Third, after the Litigation Trust Initial Distribution
occurs, the Litigation Trust will distribute 80% of all Litigation
Trust Proceeds to holders of Litigation Trust Class A Interests and
20% of all Litigation Trust Proceeds to holders of Litigation Trust
Class B Interests.
* With respect to any distribution of Litigation Trust
Proceeds to Litigation Trust Class A Interests, such distributions
shall be made: (A) first, to holders of Litigation Trust Class A-1
Interests, until the Second Out DIP Term Loan Claims and Third Out
DIP Term Loan Claims have been paid in full; (B) second, to holders
of Litigation Trust Class A-2 Interests, until the Prepetition OpCo
Second Out Notes Claims have been paid in full; (C) third, to
holders of Litigation Trust Class A-3 Interests, until the
Prepetition OpCo Third Out Notes Claims have been paid in full; and
(D) fourth, to holders of Litigation Trust Class A-4 Interests,
until the Prepetition Initial Notes Claims have been paid in full.
For purposes of calculating the outstanding amount of Second Out
DIP Term Loan Claims,
On the Effective Date, the Litigation Trust shall receive the
Litigation Trust Initial Funding Amount, which shall automatically
and irrevocably vest in the Litigation Trust free and clear of all
Claims, Liens, encumbrances, or interests. The Litigation Trust
Initial Funding Amount shall be used for the administration of the
Litigation Trust, to pay the Litigation Trust Fees and Expenses,
and to pursue the Litigation Trust Retained Causes of Action, with
any excess amount being used to distribute to Litigation Trust
Beneficiaries, as set forth in the Litigation Trust Documents.
This Liquidation Analysis is presented on a consolidated basis with
respect to the Global Debtors. This Liquidation Analysis assumes
that the Global Debtors would be liquidated in their jointly
administered cases and that each Global Debtor would undertake a
parallel liquidation. The Plan does not provide for the substantive
consolidation of any of the Global Debtors.
The Liquidation Proceeds reflected in this Liquidation Analysis are
derived from estimates regarding the liquidation value of the
Global Debtors' assets as of the Conversion Date (or as realized
during the Liquidation Period), including, as applicable, cash and
cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory, furniture,
fixtures, and equipment, lease-related deposits, prepaid amounts,
intellectual property, permit and license interests (including
liquor licenses, to the extent transferable and saleable), and any
other assets identified in this Liquidation Analysis. For purposes
of this Liquidation Analysis, no value has been assigned to the
Global Debtors' goodwill.

SAKS GLOBAL: Willkie Farr Served as Counsel in Plan Confirmation
----------------------------------------------------------------
Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP represented Saks Global Enterprises
LLC in the successful confirmation of its chapter 11 plan -- one
of the most complex retail restructurings in recent memory --
securing approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of Texas. Saks Global's comprehensive restructuring was
led by an all-women core team, a rare milestone in the history of
chapter 11.
On June 5, Judge Alfredo R. Perez confirmed the company's chapter
11 plan of reorganization, which enables Saks Global, the world's
largest multi-brand luxury retailer, to exit chapter 11 in the
coming weeks with a strengthened financial foundation.
The restructuring was led by Willkie partners Debra M. Sinclair,
Robin Spigel, Allyson Smith and Charlotta Chung and associate Betsy
Feldman -- an all-women core team that guided Saks through a
process of exceptional complexity, both in the pre-filing period
and throughout the chapter 11 cases. The wider Willkie team
included partners and associates across corporate, tax, finance and
real estate.
Plan Confirmation
Saks Global on June 5 received approval of its Plan of
Reorganization from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of Texas. The Plan gained support across the capital
structure from participating creditors, the overwhelming majority
of which voted in favor. Confirmation of the Plan paves the way for
Saks Global to exit chapter 11 in the coming weeks with a
strengthened financial foundation.
"Securing approval of our Plan is an incredible achievement for
Saks Global, and the broad-based support we have received from our
capital partners, brand partners and other key stakeholders
reflects confidence in our future," said
Geoffroy van Raemdonck, Chief Executive Officer, Saks Global. "With
our capital partners' commitment and the dedication of our talented
team, we are on track to emerge as a stronger, more focused
company, poised for profitable and sustainable growth. I firmly
believe in Saks Global's enduring role as a leader in the luxury
retail ecosystem, delivering exceptional experiences for customers
and serving as the premier gateway to the U.S. luxury consumer for
our brand partners. I am confident we are well positioned to define
the future of luxury retail."
At emergence, the Company's debt will be reduced significantly --
by nearly 75% -- and Saks Global will have the liquidity necessary
to support its operations and invest in its future. The Plan
establishes the foundation for the Company to accelerate sales
growth, with a focus on strong full-price selling, and to generate
$9 billion in total Gross Merchandise Value and double-digit
adjusted EBITDA by fiscal year 2030.
Brandy Richardson, Chief Financial Officer, Saks Global, added,
"With significantly reduced debt on the Company's balance sheet at
emergence and having already achieved substantial cost savings
through the optimization of our footprint, operations and
organization, our business is well positioned for future success.
We are grateful for the support of all of our stakeholders,
including our capital partners and brand partners, and look forward
to driving profitable growth as a stronger Saks Global, leveraging
our distinct and differentiated assets."
In less than five months, Saks Global has made significant progress
evolving its business to support a more sustainable future,
including:
* Establishing a strong financial foundation, with an improved
capital structure and the liquidity necessary to invest in the core
areas of the business to support long-term growth.
* Strengthening its valued brand partner relationships,
facilitating delivery of an expertly curated product assortment and
providing access to the Company's loyal customers across the U.S.
* Optimizing its store footprint and supply chain network to
support its integrated retail model, which is anchored by the
Company's best-performing stores in markets with a high
concentration of luxury customers, as well as distinct e-commerce
platforms and remote selling services.
* Focusing on its core luxury business, by streamlining the
majority of Saks Global's off-price business to prioritize luxury
and full-price selling and right sizing the Company's corporate
team to align with this go-forward strategy.
The Company's actions are translating into sustained momentum
across numerous areas of the business. Saks Global's go-forward
store sales continue to show steady improvement, reflecting
stronger customer engagement as a result of increased inventory.
With a strong plan for the future, Saks Global is well positioned
for profitable and sustainable growth, poised to become the leading
multi-brand luxury retailer in the U.S.

SEARLES VALLEY: Seeks to Sell Mining Assets at Auction
------------------------------------------------------
Searles Valley Minerals Inc. (SVM) and its affiliates, seek
approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware, to sell substantially all Assets at auction, free and
clear of liens, claims, interests, and encumbrances.
To date, the Office of the United States Trustee for the District
of Delaware has not appointed a creditors’ committee in the
Chapter 11 Cases, nor has any trustee or examiner been appointed.
SVM (together with its Debtor and non-Debtor subsidiaries) operates
a vertically integrated mining and processing complex at Searles
Lake in Trona, California, where it produces critical industrial
minerals, including borates, sodium sulfate, and salt, sourced from
one of the largest known deposits of water-soluble borates in North
America. The Company is among the largest and lowest cost producers
of borates, serving a diversified
global customer base across industrial, agricultural, and specialty
chemical end markets.
The Company historically mined and processed Sodium Carbonate (soda
ash) until February 2026, and continues to source and supply soda
ash to its customers in North America. In addition, the Debtors
source and provide potable water for approximately 760 residential
and commercial customers in certain areas on the west shoreline of
Searles Lake, California, including the town of Trona, California.
The Debtor SVM and SVM's immediate parent, non-Debtor Karnavati
Holdings, Inc., engaged Lazard & Co, Limited as their investment
banker to assist in the evaluation and marketing of the Debtors’
assets for a potential
sale transaction.
As of the Petition Date, a number of potential buyers have engaged
with the Company in advanced discussions regarding the in-court
sale process.
Given that no actionable bids were received for the Debtors'
business on an out-ofcourt basis, the Debtors began evaluating
strategic alternatives to maximize value.
The Debtors have developed the terms of the Bidding Procedures and
the Sale timeline.
The Bidding Procedures describe, among other things, the procedures
for interested parties to access due diligence, the manner in which
bids become Qualified Bids, the receipt and negotiation of bids
received, the conduct of any Auction, the selection and designation
of a Stalking Horse Bidder, the selection and approval of any
ultimate Successful Bidder, and the deadlines with respect to the
foregoing.
The terms of the bidding procedures and they key dates and
deadlines of the sale are also provided at
https://urlcurt.com/u?l=Q7Opu3
The Debtors submit that in order to entice potential bidders to
serve as a Stalking Horse Bidder, which would help facilitate a
competitive Auction by setting a minimum price for the applicable
Assets covered by any such Stalking Horse Bid at the Auction, they
will need to offer such Stalking Horse Bidder the Bid Protections.
The Debtors submit that the Bid Protections are fair and reasonable
in light of the circumstances because, in the event the Bid
Protections are triggered, any Stalking Horse Bidder's efforts will
have promoted more competitive bidding, and thereby increased the
chances that the Debtors will receive the highest or otherwise best
offer for the Sale Transaction contemplated by such Stalking Horse
Bid, to the benefit of the Debtors' creditors.
The Debtors submit that the Sale Notice is reasonably calculated to
provide all interested parties with timely and proper notice of the
proposed Sale.
The Bidding Procedures are designed to ensure that the bidding
process is fair and, by facilitating a competitive bidding process
in which all potential bidders are encouraged to participate and
submit competing bids (while giving Potential Bidders flexibility
in structuring their Bids), designed to yield the maximum value for
the Debtors’ estates and stakeholders.
The Debtors also submit that it is appropriate to sell the Assets
free and clear of successor liability relating to the Debtors'
businesses.

SENTINEL HOLDINGS: Bush & Associates Raises Going Concern Doubt
---------------------------------------------------------------
Sentinel Holdings Ltd., formerly known as James Maritime Holdings
Inc., has filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2025 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission. The audited report contains a blunt warning: conditions
exist that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as
a going concern.
Minneapolis, Minnesota-based Bush & Associates CPA LLC, the
Company's auditor since 2024, issued a "going concern"
qualification in its report dated June 5, 2026, attached to the
Company's Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2025, citing that the Company has incurred continuing losses and
has obligations for significant cash payments in the next year that
raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern.
Based on the audited financial statements, the Company reported a
net loss of $1,664,817 for the year ended December 31, 2025 and
utilized net cash in operating activities of $1,320,176 during that
same period. Such net loss included a non-cash benefit $2,205,292
and, in the absence of that benefit, the Company would have
reported a net loss of $3,870,109. Additionally, the Company
reported an accumulated deficit of $23,956,377, a stockholders'
deficit of $2,847,685, and a working capital deficit of $4,192,539
as of December 31, 2025.
The Company has historically incurred significant losses since
inception and has not demonstrated an ability to generate
sufficient revenues to achieve profitable operations.
The Company anticipates that it will need to raise additional
capital in order to continue to fund its operations. The Company's
operating needs include the planned costs to operate its business,
including amounts required to fund working capital and capital
expenditures. The Company's future capital requirements and the
adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including
the Company's ability to successfully expand to new markets and to
acquire other companies to enhance and/or complement its existing
service offerings.
There is no assurance that the amount of funds the Company might
raise will enable the Company to complete its initiatives or attain
profitable operations. There is no assurance that financing will be
available on terms which are commercially acceptable, or available
at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional funding to
meet its working capital needs in the future, it will be forced to
delay, reduce, or cease operations.
In summary, the Company has historically incurred significant
losses since inception, has not yet attained profitable operations,
and remains dependent upon obtaining financing to support
operations and pursue its business plans.

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

Property, free and clear of liens, claims, interests, and

The VIN serial number and other identifying information on some
Trucks is inaccessible due to the storage location at the yard and
thickets of mud and trees. The Trustee will work to obtain the
applicable information and VIN serial numbers in cooperation with
Manders once Manders picks up the inaccessible Trucks.
On May 28, 2026, the Trustee, through Steffes Group, Inc. received
from Manders a letter of intent to purchase the Trucks for a gross
total of $270,000.
The letter of intent makes clear Manders will be responsible for
all costs associated with pickup of the trucks.
The Trustee, as successor to the debtor in possession, has an
interest in the Trucks. Some of the Trucks are subject to the
security interest of WoodTrust Bank.
The Trustee employs Steffes as Broker on a 5% commission basis. As
part of the Motion, the Trustee seeks permission to pay Steffes’
$13,500.00, consisting of a commission of 5% of the gross proceeds
of the sale.
The Trustee submits that the sale of the Trucks to Manders
constitutes good business sense.
The Trucks were previously marketed for sale for many months and no
buyer came forward with a better offer than Manders.
From the gross proceeds of the sale, the Trustee will disburse a 5%
commission to Steffes.
The Trustee proposes that the Trucks be sold free and clear of
liens, claims, interests, and encumbrances.

STEVE CLARK: Seeks to Extend Plan Exclusivity to July 8
-------------------------------------------------------
Steve Clark Drywall, Inc., asked the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Maryland to extend its exclusivity periods to file a
plan of reorganization and obtain acceptance thereof to July 8 and
Sept. 7, 2026, respectively.
The Debtor continues in possession of its property and manages its
affairs as debtor in possession pursuant to Sections 1107-1108 of
the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtor is a drywall contractor engaged in
the commercial and residential sales and installation of large
drywall projects.
The Debtor explains that the company, and its principal Mr. Steven
Riley Clark, have judgments and contract liabilities which are
subject to guarantees and have numerous cross liabilities the
advancement of which caused this Chapter 11 case, and a case filing
in this district by Mr. Clark as an affiliate of this Debtor on
April 1, 2026.
In addition, there will be a forthcoming Motion for Joint
Administration or a Complaint for Substantive Consolidation in the
very near term as to these two cases. A reassignment motion of this
affiliate case for Mr. Clark is forthcoming to this division and
before the bankruptcy judge who is administering the present
Chapter 11 case.
The Debtor asserts that substantial reworking of various
liabilities for treatment in a forthcoming Chapter 11 Plan will be
ongoing with the creditor constituency. The Debtor has been the
source of Mr. Clark's revenues and a sizeable majority portion of
the Debtor's claims are reflected against Mr. Clark as well.
The Debtor further asserts that it needs time to source its
additional income options and to reduce uncertainties as to sources
of new work for the forthcoming Plan of Reorganization. Claims
objections will likely be forthcoming to bring to a certainty the
Plan base for treatment. Mr. Clark's case has very similar work and
required steps.

STRIDE ACADEMY: S&P Assigns 'BB-' Rating on 2026 Revenue Bonds
--------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'BB-' long-term rating to the city
of St. Cloud, Minnesota's $22.455 million series 2026 charter
school revenue bonds, to be issued for STRIDE Academy (STRIDE).
The outlook is stable.
S&P said, "We view STRIDE's environmental, social, and governance
factors as neutral in our analysis.
"The stable outlook reflects our expectation that STRIDE will hit
enrollment targets over the outlook period such that it generates
at least breakeven operations and improves lease-adjusted MADS
coverage. The stable outlook also reflects our expectation that
STRIDE will achieve its liquidity projections and will not issue
any additional debt in the near term.
"We could consider a negative rating action should management fail
to execute its enrollment growth plans, such that STRIDE does not
reach its enrollment target, or if there is a significant
deterioration in operations, financial performance, and
lease-adjusted MADS coverage, or deviations from projected
operations. We could also consider a negative rating action if cash
declines more than anticipated or if covenant violations occur.
"We could consider a positive rating action over time if STRIDE is
able to consistently meet its growth targets and strengthen
financial metrics to levels commensurate with those of higher-rated
peers."
SUNATION ENERGY: Signs Agreement and Plan of Merger With Suniva
---------------------------------------------------------------
SUNation Energy, Inc. announced in a regulatory filing that the
Company, SUNation Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a
wholly owned subsidiary of SUNation, and Suniva, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, pursuant
to which, among other matters, and subject to the satisfaction or
waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger
Sub will merge with and into Suniva, with Suniva continuing as a
wholly owned subsidiary of SUNation and the surviving corporation
of the merger. The Merger is intended to qualify for federal income
tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under the provisions of
Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the
effective time of the Merger:
(a) each then-outstanding share of Suniva capital stock
(including shares of Suniva common stock and shares of Suniva
preferred stock) will be converted into the right to receive a
number of shares of SUNation common stock calculated in accordance
with the Merger Agreement;
(b) each then-outstanding Suniva warrant will be cancelled at
the Effective Time, with each warrantholder entitled to receive for
each warrant share a number of shares of SUNation common stock
equal to the Exchange Ratio, taking into account the per share
exercise price of the warrant; and
(c) each then-outstanding Suniva restricted stock unit will be
fully vested and converted into shares of SUNation common stock at
the Exchange Ratio.
Under the Exchange Ratio in the Merger Agreement, upon the closing
of the Merger, on a pro forma basis and based upon the number of
shares of SUNation common stock expected to be issued in the
Merger, pre-Merger Suniva stockholders are expected to own
approximately 98.2% of the combined company and pre-Merger SUNation
stockholders are expected to own approximately 1.8% of the combined

SUNation's net cash at closing relative to a specified target.
For purposes of calculating the Merger Consideration:
(a) shares of SUNation common stock underlying SUNation stock
options, warrants and other rights to receive shares outstanding as

settlement of SUNation restricted stock units (excluding
performance-based restricted stock units for which the performance
condition has not been met) will be deemed to be outstanding, and
(c) all shares of Suniva common stock underlying outstanding
Suniva stock options, Suniva restricted stock units and Suniva
warrants will be deemed to be outstanding.
In connection with the Merger, SUNation will seek the approval of
its stockholders of, among other things:
(a) the issuance of shares of SUNation common stock in
connection with the Merger on the terms and conditions set forth in
the Merger Agreement,
(b) if Suniva deems it advisable, an amendment and restatement
of SUNation's amended certificate of incorporation,
(c) if deemed necessary by SUNation and Suniva, an amendment
to SUNation's amended certificate of incorporation to effect a
reverse stock split of all outstanding shares of SUNation's common
stock,
(d) the conversion of certain secured insider debt to SUNation
common stock, and
(e) an increase in the number of shares of SUNation common
stock reserved for issuance under the existing SUNation equity
incentive plan of no less than 5% of the projected total
post-Merger number of outstanding shares of SUNation common stock.
To the extent necessary or deemed appropriate, additional proposals
may be added by the SUNation board of directors, which will be
included in any prospectus/proxy statement relating to the special
meeting of stockholders.
Each of SUNation and Suniva has agreed to customary
representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement,
including, among others, covenants relating to:
(a) using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the

(e) SUNation filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission and causing to become effective a registration statement
to register the shares of SUNation common stock to be issued in
connection with the Merger.
Consummation of the Merger, targeted for the second half of 2026,
is subject to certain closing conditions, including, among other
things:
(a) approval by SUNation stockholders of the matters being put
to their vote,
(b) approval by the requisite Suniva stockholders of the

contemplated thereby,
(c) Nasdaq's approval of the listing of the shares of SUNation
common stock to be issued in connection with the Merger,
(d) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and
(e) SUNation's net cash not being less than negative
$1,500,000. Each party's obligation to consummate the Merger is
also subject to other specified customary conditions, including
regarding the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the
other party, subject to the applicable materiality standard, and
the performance in all material respects by the other party of its
obligations under the Merger Agreement required to be performed on
or prior to the date of the closing of the Merger.
The Merger Agreement contains customary termination rights of each
of SUNation and Suniva. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement
under specified circumstances, SUNation may be required to pay
Suniva a termination fee of $1,000,000, and Suniva may be required
to pay SUNation a termination fee of $1,000,000. The Merger
Agreement may be terminated if the Merger has not been consummated
on or before January 30, 2027, subject to a potential sixty
(60)-day extension in certain circumstances as set forth in the
Merger Agreement.
At the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of SUNation is
expected to consist of five members, all of whom will be designated
by Suniva.
Voting Agreements
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain
key stockholders of SUNation (solely in their respective capacities
as SUNation stockholders) holding approximately 10.4% of the
outstanding shares of SUNation capital stock have entered into
voting agreements with SUNation and Suniva to vote all of their
shares of SUNation capital stock in favor of the adoption and
approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated
thereby.

SURVWEST LLC: Unsecureds Will Get 37% to 74% in Trustee's Plan
--------------------------------------------------------------
Matthew Brash, the Chapter 11 Trustee for SurvWest LLC, submitted
an Amended Disclosure Statement describing Plan of Reorganization
for the Debtor dated June 3, 2026.
The Plan provides for the continued operation of the Debtor,
payments as required under the Bankruptcy Code to the Holders of
Allowed Administrative Claims, Priority Claims, Priority Tax
Claims, and Secured Claims, and payments of 75% of the Debtor's Net
Profits over a five-year period to the Holders of Allowed Unsecured
Claims.
As set forth in the projections, the Trustee projects that the
Reorganized Debtor will distribute approximately $4.25 million to
the Holders of Allowed Unsecured Claims over the life of the Plan.
Subject to the discussion set forth below, the Trustee anticipates
that Allowed Unsecured Claims will be paid 37% to 74% of their
Claims depending on whether certain Unsecured Claims are
disallowed; provided, however, if the Reorganized Debtor is able to
materially increase its revenues, the percentage being distributed
to the holders of Allowed Unsecured Claims may be much higher.
After in depth review and analysis of the Debtor's operations, cash
flow, and structure, the Predecessor Trustee and the Trustee
determined that two potential paths are available that could
potentially result in a return to the Debtor's creditors. The
Trustee could either pursue a (1) path of liquidation and
litigation or (2) a path of reorganization.
Critically, the Trustee and the Predecessor Trustee concluded in
their business judgment that the Debtor had a viable business model
and, notwithstanding the allegations of past financial malfeasance,
Mr. Barr is crucial to the Debtor's continued and successful
operations because (i) a substantial portion of the Debtor's
business derived from the Debtor's Minority Business Enterprise
Certification, which derives from Mr. Barr's ownership of the
Debtor; and (ii) Mr. Barr's personal contacts with the industry and
his sustained efforts for business development provided an avenue
to maintain and grow revenue.
Simply stated, if the Trustee were to pursue the estate's claims
against Mr. Barr, Mr. Barr is very unlikely to continue to expend
any effort in operating the business in order to make material and
substantial returns to the creditors. Therefore, the Trustee has
concluded that reorganization under Mr. Barr's operational control
based upon the continued operation of the Debtor's business
represents the best path for unsecured creditors to receive a
material return upon their claims.
Class 6 consists of General Unsecured Creditors. The Holders of
Allowed Class 6 Claims shall be paid their Pro Rata share of the
Reorganized Debtor's Unsecured Creditors Fund, after payment in
full of Allowed Claims of a higher priority (including Allowed
Administrative Claims, Allowed Priority Claims, and Allowed
Priority Tax Claims), on a monthly basis for 60 quarters beginning
after the first full calendar quarter after the Effective Date.
Distributions to Class 6 claimants shall not exceed the amount of
the Allowed Unsecured Claims.
The Trustee anticipates that unsecured creditors shall receive 37%
to 74% on account of their Allowed Unsecured Claims, depending upon
the amount of revenues derived from the Reorganized Debtor's
operations and the Reorganized Debtor's disallowance of certain of
the filed Claims.
The claims of Equity Interest Holders are treated under Class 8 of
the Plan. If Classes 6 and 7 vote in favor of the Plan, the holders
of Equity Interests shall retain their interests. If Class 6 votes
against the Plan, on the Effective Date, existing shares of the
Debtor shall be cancelled. On the Effective Date, 100% of the
common stock of the Reorganized Debtor shall be issued to Mathew
Barr in satisfaction of $50,000 of the amount lent to the Debtor
pursuant to the approved Debtor-in-Possession Loan Agreement.
Payments due under the Plan will be made from cash generated from
the Reorganized Debtor's post-Confirmation operations.
Administrative Claims and Priority Tax Claims shall be paid on the
Effective Date of the Plan or as otherwise agreed by the Holder of
the Claim. Secured Claims will be paid. Payments to the Holders of
Unsecured Creditors will be funded with 10% of of the Reorganized
Debtor's Gross Revenues for a period of five years. The Trustee
anticipates that the first payment to Holders of Unsecured Claims
will occur in January 2027 and payments will continue monthly
thereafter for 59 months.

SYNERGY INFRASTRUCTURE: S&P Rates New $400MM Sr. Secured Notes 'B'
------------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'B' issue-level rating and '4'
recovery rating to Synergy Infrastructure Holdings LLC's (dba
Opifex-Synergy) proposed $400 million senior secured second-lien
notes due 2034. The '4' recovery rating indicates its expectation
for average (30%-50%; rounded estimate: 30%) recovery in the event
of a payment default.
The company intends to use the proceeds from the proposed notes to
repay existing borrowings on its asset-based lending (ABL) facility
($194 million drawn at 4/30/2026), as well as to fund its capital
expenditure as it expands its rental fleet to meet rising demand.
S&P said, "All our existing ratings on Opifex-Synergy, including
the 'B' issuer credit rating, are unchanged. The stable outlook
reflects our expectation that the company's operating trends will
remain favorable over the next 12 months, enabling it to reduce its
S&P Global Ratings-adjusted debt to EBITDA to the mid-4x range from
4.9x as of the end of 2025."
Opifex-Synergy is capitalizing on robust demand in the
infrastructure, industrial nearshoring, and non-residential
construction sectors. The company is capturing market share by
prioritizing market density over greenfield expansions, supported
by its Texas expansion, recent bolt-on acquisitions, and growth in
its specialty pump business. Despite its fleet expansion,
Opifex-Synergy's first-quarter 2026 dollar utilization remained
healthy at 42.5%, while its rental rate increases have been
sufficient to offset its rising transportation and input costs. S&P
said, "We expect the company will continue to strongly expand its
top-line revenue by the 40% area while improving its EBITDA margin
to the low- to mid-40% range, supported by its increased fleet
scale and reduced re-rent activity. While we expect Opifex-Synergy
will generate negative free operating cash flow in 2026 due to its
ongoing fleet investment, we anticipate it will maintain the
flexibility to moderate its spending during downturns, which is
bolstered by the younger age of its fleet relative to those of its
peers."
Issue Ratings--Recovery Analysis
Key analytical factors
-- Under the proposed transaction, Opifex-Synergy's capital
structure will comprise a $500 million ABL facility (undrawn at
close), $550 million of second-lien secured notes due 2030, and
$400 million of second-lien secured notes due 2034.
-- The company operates in the competitive and cyclical U.S.
equipment rental market. S&P's simulated default scenario
contemplates an unexpected and drastic downturn in the construction
and industrial markets that severely strains its equipment usage,
rental rates, revenue, and cash flow.
-- S&P said, "Our recovery analysis assumes a recovery value in a
hypothetical bankruptcy based on a discrete-asset valuation
approach to reflect the value of the equipment rental business
derived from the company's owned rental fleet and other balance
sheet accounts. We consider partial dilution of appraised values
through additional depreciation or expected contraction in working
capital assets in the period leading up to the hypothetical
default. We then apply realization rates to the assets, reflecting
the friction of selling or the discounts potential buyers or
restructurers would apply in distressed circumstances."
-- S&P applies realization rates of 80% for rental equipment, 50%
for other property and nonrental equipment, 65% for inventory, and
80% for accounts receivable.
Simulated default assumptions
-- Simulated year of default: 2029
-- Jurisdiction: U.S.
-- Valuation split (obligors/nonobligors): 100%/0%
ABL facility: 60% drawn at default. S&P assumes Opifex-Synergy uses
a significant portion of the incremental draw to purchase rental
equipment.
Simplified waterfall
-- Gross enterprise value: $650 million
-- Net enterprise value (after 5% administrative expenses): $617
million
-- Priority claims (ABL): $307 million
-- Collateral value available to second-lien debt (secured notes):
$310 million
-- Second-lien debt claims: $986 million
--Recovery expectations: 30%-50% (rounded estimate: 30%)
Note: All debt amounts include six months of prepetition interest.

TALLMADGE II: Fannie Mae Wants M. Shapiro Real Estate as Receiver
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Federal National Mortgage Association, aka Fannie Mae, filed a
motion with the U.S. District Court for the Western District of
Michigan, Southern Division, seeking for the immediate appointment
of M. Shapiro Real Estate Group as receiver for Tallmadge II, LLC.
Fannie Mae also seeks entry of a temporary restraining order and
preliminary injunction appointing a receiver to enforce the
covenants under a mortgage and to manage and control the
manufactured home community owned by Tallmadge II, LLC, located at
11630 14th Ave NW, Grand Rapids, Michigan 49534.
Fannie Mae holds a mortgage on the subject property, as well as a
security interest in the Personalty.
Tallmadge II, LLC is the mortgagor for the Property. Borrower
and/or its agent are currently in complete control of the Property.
Fannie Mae seeks to have this Court appoint a neutral third-party
professional who is experienced in operating properties in these
circumstances, to operate the Property and protect it, claiming
Borrower is "currently not able to do so."
Fannie Mae says Borrower has defaulted under the Loan Documents by
failing to pay the required Monthly Debt Services Payment on June
1, 2025, and for all subsequent months. Borrower also failed to
maintain the Property in good repair and marketable condition, as
required in accordance with the Loan Documents, and to commence and
diligently pursue to completion certain Required Repairs (as
defined in the Loan Agreement), as required in accordance with the
Loan Documents.
In addition, Fannie Mae has recently learned of a serious issue at
the Property. Approximately half of the homes are without potable
water and Ottawa County has instituted a lawsuit against Borrower.
Borrower has also received a number of notices from the State of
Michigan and Ottawa County regarding this issue.
Borrower also has failed to maintain adequate insurance on the
Property, causing Fannie Mae to force place insurance on April 10,
2026, retroactive to July 23, 2025.
Borrower is still in control of the Property. If a receiver is not
appointed to manage the Property, according to Fannie Mae, Borrower
will continue to dissipate the rents and income from the Property.
If this happens, Fannie Mae says it will forever lose its ability
to exercise its rights to those revenues from the Property. Fannie
Mae adds the value of its collateral will continue to be negatively
impacted as well.
Fannie Mae contends the Loan Documents provide it with a broad
right to the assignment of rents and profits from the Property upon
default. Fannie Mae also has the right to a receiver in connection
with Borrower's breaches of contract, including breaches of the
covenants in the mortgage, to preserve and protect the Property.
The relief requested is necessary and appropriate in this matter
and is authorized under federal and Michigan law.
Fannie Mae says M. Shapiro has acted as receiver for numerous
distressed properties throughout the nation and in Michigan.
On June 30, 2022, ORIX Real Estate Capital, LLC d/b/a Lument
Capital made a $3,995,000 loan to Borrower, which is evidenced by a
note and secured by a mortgage. The subject real estate securing
the Loan is a 108-site manufactured home community in Grand Rapids,
Michigan. Borrower consented in the mortgage to the ex parte
appointment of a receiver by the court in the event of default.
To secure repayment of the indebtedness evidenced in the Note and
performance of all covenants and conditions contained therein,
Borrower also executed the Mortgage dated June 30, 2022, of
$7,871,000 in favor of Original Lender, which was duly recorded in
the Ottawa County Register of Deeds on July 8, 2022, which granted
Plaintiff a security interest in the Property, including the
Mortgaged Property.
Borrower also assigned to Original Lender all of Borrower's right,
title, and interest in and to all rents, issues, and profits that
may arise or be had from the Property, and other property rights,
interests, and estates as more particularly set out in the
Mortgage.
On August 26, 2025, counsel for Fannie Mae sent a Notice of Default
and Demand to Borrower, informing that an Event of Default had
occurred due to, among other defaults, that Borrower is failing to
make the Required Repairs; and failing to make the required Monthly
Debt Services Payment on June 1, 2025, and for all subsequent
months.
On April 17, 2026, Borrower and the County entered into a
Stipulation and Order summarizing certain remedial actions to be
undertaken by Borrower with the remediation project to commence no
later than May 15, 2026. To date, the remediation project has not
commenced and approximately 50% of the mobile homes at the Property
remain without potable water.
On March 25, 2026, counsel for Fannie Mae sent a Notice of Intent
to Force Place Insurance (FPI Notice) to Borrower informing
Borrower of its failure to maintain adequate insurance on the
Property and that Lender, pursuant to the Loan Agreement, would
force-place insurance at Borrower's cost unless Borrower provided
documentation showing compliant coverage within five business
days.
The unpaid principal balance as of January 30, 2026, is
approximately $3,860,478.30, and note rate interest has accrued on
said unpaid principal of $178,707.98 through January 30, 2026, and
default rate interest has accrued on said unpaid principal of
$68,220.15 through January 30, 2026. The total amount due as
principal and interest, along with reserves, late fees, and other
charges, as of January 30, 2026, is $4,532,636.71, subject to any
setoffs for reserve funds. In addition, Borrower is liable for
attorneys' fees and costs.
Fannie Mae asserts that Borrower expressly consented in the
Mortgage to the appointment of a receiver upon an Event of Default,
which is defined in the Loan Agreement to include any failure by
Borrower to pay or deposit when due any amount required by the
Note, Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, and the existence
of such condition or event, or such failure to perform or default
in performance for a period of 30 business days after written
notice by Lender to Borrower of the existence of such condition or
event.
Fannie Mae contends Michigan's Uniform Assignment of Rents Act
expressly authorizes the appointment of a receiver in such cases
where there exists an assignment of rents and profits in mortgaged
properties. MUARA expressly provides that an assignment of rents
creates a presently effective security interest in all accrued and
unaccrued rents arising from the real property and the security
interest in rents is separate and distinct from any security
interest held by the assignee in the real property.
Fannie Mae also contends the Michigan Receivership Act expressly
grants Michigan courts the authority to appoint a receiver when
necessary to protect the property from waste and loss and when the
mortgagor has agreed in a signed record to the appointment of a
receiver.

TEADS HOLDING: Regains Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Compliance
----------------------------------------------------------
Teads Holding Co. announced in a regulatory filing that the Company
received a written notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC stating
that the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price
requirement of $1.00 per share under Nasdaq Listing Rule
5450(a)(1), and that the matter is now closed.
Nasdaq determined that, for each consecutive business day from May
18, 2026 to June 4, 2026, the closing bid price of the Company's
common stock had been at $1.00 per share or greater. The Company's
common stock continues to be listed and traded on The Nasdaq Global
Select Market under the trading symbol "TEAD."
As previously disclosed, on December 22, 2025, the Company received
a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of
Nasdaq notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with the
Minimum Bid Price Requirement, as the closing bid price of the
Company's common stock had been below $1.00 per share for 30
consecutive business days. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule
5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was granted an initial compliance period

* * *
In November 2025, Fitch Ratings has downgraded Teads Holding Co.
and OT Midco. Inc.'s (collectively, Teads) Company Default Rating
(IDR) to 'CCC+' from 'BB-'. Fitch has also downgraded the senior
secured instruments to 'CCC+' with a Recovery Rating of 'RR4'.
The downgrade reflects delays in successful merger integration,
which prevented Teads from achieving its projected EBITDA of $180
million for 2025. Consequently, the company's financial risk
profile has materially deteriorated. The downgrade also reflects
the possibility that the company may not be able to realize
substantial revenue growth and cost optimization in 2026, which
could delay deleveraging prospects and result in further negative
rating actions.
TERRAFORM LABS: Says Jane Street Used Tips to Avoid Losses
----------------------------------------------------------
Sydney Price of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that the
administrator overseeing the bankruptcy of Terraform Labs has asked
a New York federal court to deny Jane Street's motion to dismiss a
lawsuit accusing the trading firm of using confidential information
inappropriately. The administrator maintains that the claims are
legally sufficient and should proceed.
The complaint alleges that Jane Street exploited non-public
insights related to Terraform-linked digital assets, enabling the
firm to position trades in a way that avoided losses and
potentially profited from market movements. The administrator
argues that these actions warrant further factual development
through discovery, the report relays.
The litigation stems from Terraform Labs' collapse, which led to
widespread losses and numerous creditor claims. The administrator
continues to pursue recovery actions against third parties as part
of efforts to maximize the bankruptcy estate for the benefit of
creditors, according to report.
About Terraform Labs
Terraform Labs Pte. Ltd. -- https://www.terra.money -- is a startup
that created Terra, a blockchain protocol and payment platform used
for algorithmic stablecoins. It was co-founded by Do Kwon and
Daniel Shin in 2018 in Seoul, South Korea.
Terraform Labs introduced its first cryptocurrency token, TerraUSD,
in 2019. Investment firms like Arrington Capital, Coinbase
Ventures, Galaxy Digital, and Lightspeed Venture Partners helped
Terraform Labs raise more than $200 million.
The collapse of the stablecoins TerraUSD (UST) and Luna in May 2022
caused the temporary suspension of the Terra network, wiping out
over $45 billion in market capitalization in a single week.
Both of Terra Form Labs' founders have encountered legal problems
as a result of the devaluation of the company's currency. In
September 2022, South Korean prosecutors filed a warrant for Do
Kwon's arrest. He was also added to Interpol's Red Notice list,
which urges other law enforcement to find and detain him.
Terraform Labs Pte. Ltd. sought relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. D. Del. Case No. 24-10070) on Jan. 22,

TRAYJOCKEY ENTERPRISES: Gets Interim OK to Use Cash Collateral
--------------------------------------------------------------
TrayJockey Enterprises, Inc. received interim approval from the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maine to use cash
collateral.
Under the interim order, the Debtor is authorized to use cash
collateral through June 25 based on an approved 13-week budget,
which projects total operational expenses of $1,010,078.
The cash collateral consists primarily of cash on hand, restaurant
equipment, and gift shop inventory.
Kennebunk Savings Bank holds a validly perfected, first-priority
pre-petition business loan with a current balance of $431,522,
which is fully secured by all of the Debtor's business assets and
cash proceeds. Although subordinate UCC-1 financing statements have
been filed by other creditors including the U.S. Small Business
Administration, Financial Agent Services, and US Foods, Inc., the
claims are completely unsupported by actual asset value, rendering
their interests valueless and disqualifying them from adequate
protection payments.
As adequate protection, the court granted Kennebunk replacement
liens on substantially all post-petition assets of the Debtor
excluding avoidance actions and required the Debtor to pay $5,293
per month, starting om June 24.
A copy of the court's order and the Debtor's budget is available at
https://shorturl.at/my8RR from PacerMonitor.com.
The court scheduled a final hearing for June 25 and set a June 22
deadline for filing objections.
The local diner and its accompanying standalone gift shop are
highly seasonal and have historically relied on temporary workers
under the H-2B Visa program. To address severe local housing
shortages for these employees, TrayJockey's sole shareholder, Jim
MacNeill, purchased a local motel. However, the motel proved far
more expensive to maintain than anticipated, forcing TrayJockey to
subsidize its operations and absorb heavy debt. Ultimately, the
motel property was lost to a foreclosure sale, and the diner’s
own business and real estate were scheduled for foreclosure,
prompting the bankruptcy filing to restructure debt and preserve
the company's going-concern value.

TRICOLOR AUTO: Judge Issues Contempt Ruling Against "Pseudo-Atty"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Emlyn Cameron of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that a Texas
bankruptcy judge has issued a contempt finding against a man and
his company for allegedly serving as a "pseudo-attorney" for
Tricolor Holdings, a lender specializing in subprime auto
financing. The court concluded that the individual engaged in legal
representation without the credentials required to practice law.
The dispute arose after the individual purportedly handled matters
for Tricolor and interacted with the court on the creditor's
behalf. The judge found that the conduct amounted to the
unauthorized practice of law and disregarded established
requirements governing court appearances and legal advocacy, the
report states.
The contempt ruling reinforces long-standing rules that
corporations and business entities generally must appear through
licensed attorneys. The court's order is intended to deter similar
conduct and maintain the integrity of the bankruptcy process,
according to Law360.

TRINSEO PLC: Lenders Seek to Dismiss Competing Chapter 11 Suit
--------------------------------------------------------------
Emlyn Cameron of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that lenders
to Trinseo PLC, a bankrupt plastics manufacturer, have asked a
Texas bankruptcy court to throw out a related lawsuit filed by
other creditor groups in the company's Chapter 11 case. The lenders
argue the action is improper and creates unnecessary fragmentation
of the restructuring process.
In their motion, the lenders assert that the competing claims
duplicate issues already being addressed in the main bankruptcy
proceeding and risk delaying resolution of the case. They are
asking the court to streamline litigation by eliminating
overlapping disputes.
The dispute highlights ongoing tensions among creditor factions in
Trinseo's restructuring, where different lender groups are
competing over recovery outcomes. The court's ruling will determine
whether the lawsuit survives or is absorbed into the broader
Chapter 11 process, the report states.

VIAVI SOLUTIONS: S&P Upgrades ICR to 'BB', Outlook Stable
---------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings raised its issuer credit rating to 'BB' from
'B+' on Viavi Solutions Inc. S&P also raised its issue-level rating
on the senior unsecured debt to 'BB', based on significantly
reduced priority debt. The recovery rating is '3'.
S&P said, "The outlook is stable and reflects our expectation that
leverage will further improve to low-2x over the next 12 months as
Viavi benefits from ramping hyperscaler demand, full-year
integration of Spirent assets, and roll-off of restructuring
expenses. At the same time, we expect Viavi's liquidity position to
remain strong, supported by its healthy free operating cash flow
(FOCF), large cash balance, and full availability under its
revolving credit facility."
Viavi repaid all outstanding borrowings under its term loan B using
net proceeds from a $575 million common stock issuance, leading to
rapid deleveraging.
S&P Global Ratings expects Viavi's S&P Global Ratings-adjusted debt
to EBITDA to improve to 2.8x at the close of the fiscal year ending
June 27, 2026 (fiscal 2026), compared with S&P's previous
expectation of 5.5x.
Debt repayment materially improves credit metrics and strengthens
the balance sheet. Viavi reduced leverage much faster than we had
anticipated in S&P's base case following its $575 million equity
raise in May 2026. It paid down all debt raised to finance the
acquisition of Spirent Communications PLC assets less than a year
after its issuance.
S&P said, "We now project S&P Global Ratings-adjusted debt to
EBITDA of 2.8x at the end of fiscal 2026, compared with our
forecast of 6.1x at the time of acquisition close. We anticipate
further earnings-driven leverage improvement to 2.2x in fiscal
2027. At the lower leverage level, we expect Viavi has a greater
cushion to pursue other capital allocation priorities.
"The combination yields more favorable business prospects. We
expect the Spirent assets to add approximately $200 million in
annual run-rate revenue, improving Viavi's earnings potential.
Furthermore, we anticipate slight margin expansion, supported by
the integration of higher-margin Spirent assets, with approximately
70% gross margins versus Viavi's reported margins of 57.3% in
fiscal 2025. Greater parts procurement scale and utilization of
engineering and sales resources will likely drive operating
leverage gains. We expect the roll-off of associated restructuring
costs ($32 million slated for fiscal 2026) and enhanced go-forward
operating profile will also contribute to incremental margin
growth.
"We view Viavi's strong liquidity position as a credit positive. It
has historically maintained a large cash balance of greater than
$400 million that may exceed minimum operating liquidity
requirements. We anticipate Viavi will expand FOCF in the next 12
months and project reported FOCF of $60 million-$70 million in
fiscal 2026 and $160 million-$170 million in fiscal 2027, supported
by a strengthened earnings profile and moderate working capital
outflows and capital expenditure (capex).
"We believe this level of FOCF provides Viavi with flexibility to
pursue capital allocation priorities while maintaining full
borrowing capacity under its $200 million revolving credit
facility. It also builds upon an already high cash balance; barring
major opportunistic spending, we project Viavi's cash base could
exceed total S&P Global Ratings-adjusted debt by the end of fiscal
2027.
"We expect accelerating hyperscaler demand to drive organic sales
growth in the next 12 months. Ramping hyperscaler demand has been a
primary driver of organic growth over the last 12 - 18 months.
Coupled with the Spirent asset integration, this demand has
prompted a meaningful change in Viavi's customer mix."
The data center ecosystem customers, including hyperscalers,
optical module and system makers, and silicon vendors, account for
almost 50% of sales in its Network and Service Enablement (NSE)
segment, up from approximately 30% exiting June 2025. This
increasing exposure has led data centers to take share from service
provider revenue, historically Viavi's largest end market, in the
company's revenue mix. Service providers now account for about 40%
of NSE revenue, compared with 50% in fiscal 2025.
S&P said, "We generally view this customer mix shift positively
because it reduces Viavi's exposure to telecommunications and cable
operator customers, which typically exhibit more varied ordering
patterns, as their demand is closely tied to technology maintenance
and upgrade cycles. This segment has also recently grown more
moderately compared with other industries due to persistent
softness in wireless. At the same time, increased exposure to data
center ecosystem customers introduces new risks, facing the
technology hardware sector broadly, pertaining to sustained levels
of investment in data centers.
"Under our base case, we project organic top-line growth of
approximately 19% in fiscal 2026 and 14% in fiscal 2027, led by
strong demand from data center ecosystem customers across lab and
field deployments." This assumption is supported by our view that
the market is in relatively early stages of AI and data center
buildout, and thus there will be robust demand for advanced network
infrastructure testing equipment over the next 1-2 years.
However, current capex investment growth may not sustain, which
could temper AI and data center buildouts. This would likely weigh
on demand for Viavi's network infrastructure testing equipment
across field applications.
Viavi's business has exhibited significant volatility historically,
and cash flows may continue to be highly variable given
concentrated data center capital spending. This is mitigated by
improving visibility into customer ordering. Hyperscaler customers
are opting for longer-term contract engagements or partnerships
with suppliers, and as a result, Viavi states its visibility now
extends into the next three quarters, compared with one- to
one-and-a-half quarters previously.
S&P said, "The stable outlook on Viavi reflects our expectation
that demand tailwinds from data center ecosystem customers, full
integration of complementary and higher-margin Spirent assets,
realization of related cost synergies, and roll-off of
restructuring expenses will support year-over-year earnings growth
and deleveraging to about 2.2x by the end of fiscal 2027. It also
reflects our expectation for continued healthy FOCF generation,
such that FOCF to debt rises to nearly 25% by the end of fiscal
2027, and maintenance of a strong liquidity position.
"We could lower our rating on Viavi if we expect S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted debt to EBITDA to increase to 4x at the bottom of
the cycle while also incorporating capital allocation priorities.
This could occur if earnings materially weaken from our base case
because the macroeconomic environment deteriorates, shifting market
conditions soften hyperscaler demand, and/or restructuring expenses
persist. Leverage could also be elevated if Viavi were to pursue
another large debt-funded acquisition.
"We could raise our rating on Viavi if we expect earnings
improvement will allow for deleveraging to 3x at the bottom of the
cycle, with a cushion for the company to absorb market volatility
and execute its capital allocation priorities."
VICTORIA'S SECRET: S&P Alters Outlook to Pos., Outlook Positive
---------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings revised its outlook on U.S.-based intimates
retailer Victoria Secret & Co. (VS) to positive from stable and
affirmed all its ratings, including the 'BB-' issuer credit
rating.
The positive outlook reflects our expectation for sustained
improvements in the company's operating performance and
profitability metrics. Supporting this trajectory is a meaningful
recovery in market share as the company continues to execute its
strategy, positioning it for growth over the next 12 months.
VS reported better-than-expected operating performance as it gained
double-digit market share growth during the first quarter of 2026.
S&P said, "We expect VS' targeted marketing initiatives and new
product launches across segments will sustain demand trends across
its core consumer base.
"We forecast reduced reliance on promotional activity along with
ongoing cost optimization measures will support S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted operating margins in the mid- to high-17% range
for fiscal 2026."
The positive outlook reflects VS' strong performance trends and
growing market share. A 13% rise in comparable sales growth drove a
15% increase in consolidated revenue in the first quarter of 2026
(ended May 2, 2026). Digital traffic outpaced brick-and-mortar
expansion, with a 50% increase in app downloads. Concurrently,
physical stores reported mid-single-digit traffic gains. By
leveraging enhanced customer analytics and targeted marketing, the
company drove customer acquisition across all channels. The brand
saw double-digit gains within new customers, primarily within the
18 to 24 age group (Gen-Z), alongside stronger customer acquisition
among households earning under $50,000 and over $200,000 annually
despite fewer sales promotions. As such, S&P expects sustained
growth throughout the remainder of the year and forecast total
consolidated revenue growth of roughly 8%, underpinned by new store
openings, ongoing brand campaigns across Victoria's Secret, PINK,
and Beauty segments, increased marketing across key product
launches, influencer collaborations, and upcoming fashion shows.
S&P said, "We believe VS stabilized major branding and cultural
issues that previously eroded market share. Under CEO Hillary
Super's strategy, the company pivoted away from its highly
sexualized marketing framework to a consumer-centric model that
emphasis body diversity and broader sizing. It is also partnering
with influencers and creators who resonate with its core
demographic. We believe this repositioning has led to higher
customer engagement and alleviated our concerns around the
management and governance of the business. However, we believe the
company still faces some governance risks due to its major activist
investor, BBRC International. Led by billionaire Brett Blundy, BBRC
holds an 11.6% stake in the business and has aggressively pushed
for board changes. While shareholders voted to re-elect their
current board members during its annual shareholder meeting held on
June 2026, BBRC's persistent pressure could lead to further proxy
battles and potential leadership changes down the road if
performance were to weaken meaningfully.
"We expect VS will maintain momentum and customer traffic over the
next 12 months, even as macroeconomic uncertainty persists. Our
base-case forecast assumes the company's recent market share gains
and improved pricing power will remain resilient against shifts in
consumer spending due to its focus on product innovation within its
core categories that are driving new customer acquisitions and
engagement. During the quarter, a meaningful driver behind traffic
was its omnichannel growth, supported by a 50% increase in app
downloads. We anticipate steady store traffic and stable online
conversion rates will signal lasting structural improvements in the
business model. However, if customer engagement or sales momentum
decline, the company may need to revert to heavy discounting to
protect sales volume, leading to compressed profit margins.
"S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage will improve to roughly 2.4x
in 2026 from 2.6x in 2025. Supporting this is our forecast for the
company's S&P Global Ratings-adjusted EBITDA margins to improve to
17.6% in fiscal 2026 from 16.6% in fiscal 2025, as it continues to
implement disciplined promotional offerings through its “promo
detox” initiative while benefiting from disciplined inventory
management such up-to-date tracking of stock levels across all
locations to prevent excess inventory or unexpected stockouts.
Additionally, VS continues to shift parts of its supply chain to
more ocean freight transportation (rather than air freight) to
reduce transportation expenses. This will lead to enhanced cost
savings and offset tariff-related headwinds. Therefore, we believe
the net tariff impact will be more than offset due to anticipated
tariff-related refunds, which we expect will flow to the company's
P&L in the second half of the year, cost optimizations such as
transportation and disciplined inventory spending, reduced
discounting as part of its ongoing promo detox initiative, and
higher sales momentum through its collaborations, new product
launches and core product marketing.
"We expect VS to maintain adequate liquidity over the next 12
months, supported by availability under its $750 million
asset-based lending (ABL) facility, balance sheet cash, and solid
free operating cash flow (FOCF) generation. As of the end of the
first quarter of 2026, the company had approximately $207 million
cash on hand and roughly $685 available under its ABL facility net
of reserved letters of credit, providing meaningful remaining
availability. We project reported FOCF to increase to about $356
million in fiscal 2026, compared with approximately $312 million in
fiscal 2025, with the year-over-year growth attributed to higher
sales growth and improving profitability. This level of cash flow
generation incorporates capital expenditures of roughly $230
million, primarily for new store openings, store refreshes, and
technology enhancements. While management guidance does not
anticipate additional share repurchases this year, we forecast the
company could opportunistically repurchase $200 million of shares
in fiscal 2026, with $100 million of shares already repurchased
within the first quarter of 2026. Furthermore, we do not anticipate
any dividend distributions over the foreseeable future.
"VS does not face any immediate maturities, with its $750 million
ABL facility maturing in May 2030, its $600 million senior notes
maturing in July 2029, and its $382 million term loan facility
maturing in August 2028. Given its ample liquidity and lack of
near-term refinancing needs, we do not anticipate the company will
require incremental debt issuance over the next 12 months.
Additionally, we believe management is unlikely to pursue
acquisitions over the near term, as it continues to focus on
organic growth.
"The positive outlook reflects our expectation for sustained
improvements in the company's operating performance and
profitability metrics. We believe a meaningful recovery in market
share supports this trajectory as the company continues to execute
its strategy, positioning it for long-term growth through sustained
comparable same-store sales growth and S&P Global Ratings-adjusted
leverage below 3x."
S&P could revise its outlook back to stable if S&P Global Ratings
adjusted leverage approaches 3x. This could occur if:
-- Sales decline as demand for its products decreases beyond our
expectations due to operational missteps or a persistently
challenging operating environment; or
-- S&P believes the company's competitive standing has weakened
due to accelerated competition, merchandising missteps, or a lack
of success in repositioning the Victoria's Secret brand that leads
to sustained declines in overall sales; or
-- It adopts a less-conservative financial policy, such as
pursuing debt funded share repurchases or large acquisitions.
S&P could raise its rating on Victoria's Secret if the company
Improves operating performance and leverage is sustained well below
3x. This could occur if:
-- S&P continues to view the company's competitive standing more
favorably, with a track record of sales growth and improved margins
it can sustain;
-- S&P believes management has successfully positioned the company
for long-term growth while having remedied former operational brand
challenges; and
-- It adheres to a financial policy that keeps leverage well below
3x.

VIRIDIS CHEMICAL: Unsecureds to Get Nothing in Liquidating Plan
---------------------------------------------------------------
Viridis Chemical, LLC and its affiliates filed with the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas a Combined
Disclosure Statement and Plan of Liquidation dated June 4, 2026.
As of the Petition Date and prior to the closing of the 363 Asset
Sale, the Debtors were a privately held company and a developer of
bio-based, low-carbon chemical technology for the production of
ethyl acetate.
As one of only three ethyl acetate plants in the United States,
Viridis Chemical developed a proprietary "Prairie Green(TM)
catalytic process" to produce ethyl acetate using only 100% corn
based ethanol. Due to various operational and cost challenges, the
Debtors made the strategic decision to relocate their ethyl acetate
plant from Columbus, Nebraska (the "Nebraska Plant") to Peoria,
Illinois, announcing the move in November 2024.
The relocation of the plant to Peoria, Illinois was originally
expected to be completed by December 2025. However, the Debtors
experienced significant cost overruns and construction delays that
ultimately rendered completion of the Peoria plant project
unfeasible absent additional capital. Accordingly, the Debtors
paused all construction work and vendor payments to preserve as
much liquidity as possible while exploring strategic alternatives.
The Debtors, with the assistance of their advisors, ultimately
commenced a process to seek additional capital investment or,
alternatively, a sale of substantially all of their assets, as
described in greater detail below. This process began prior to the
commencement of these Chapter 11 Cases, and the Debtors continued
to run their Sale Process postpetition.
Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtors, with the assistance of
their investment banker, CMA, spent significant time preparing
marketing materials and began soliciting interest from a
significant number of financial and strategic parties that were
identified as the most likely to be interested in a potential
transaction with the Debtors. CMA assisted the Debtors in preparing
(1) marketing materials, (2) a virtual data room to facilitate
diligence with potential purchasers, and (3) fulsome lists of
potential investors and/or purchasers to solicit proposals, along
with other materials designed to facilitate an orderly and
efficient process.
On April 29, 2026, the Debtors designated BioUrja Capital, LLC as
the Stalking Horse Bidder and entered into a Stalking Horse
Agreement for the sale of substantially all of the Debtors' Assets.
The Stalking Horse Agreement provided for (a) a cash payment of
$750,000, (b) $1.5 million to be placed in escrow, to be paid to
the Debtors if the Lien Release Condition is satisfied, and (c)
assumption of certain liabilities, including payment of cure
amounts associated with the assumption and assignment of certain
executory contracts and unexpired leases.
On May 8, 2026, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Sale Order
approving and authorizing the Debtors to consummate the 363 Asset
Sale to the Purchaser. The 363 Asset Sale closed on May 26, 2026.
Class 4 consists of all General Unsecured Claims. Holders of
General Unsecured Claims will not receive any distribution on
account of such Claims, and such Claims shall be canceled,
released, discharged, and extinguished as of the Effective Date,
and shall be of no further force or effect. Class 4 is conclusively
deemed to have rejected the Combined Disclosure Statement and Plan
pursuant to section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. Class 4 is not
entitled to vote to accept or reject the Combined Disclosure
Statement and Plan.
The allowed unsecured claims total $5,500,000.
Class 8 consists of Viridis Chemical Interests. Holders of Viridis
Chemical Interests will not receive any distribution on account of
such Interests, which will be canceled, released, discharged, and
extinguished as of the Effective Date, and will be of no further
force or effect.
Unless otherwise specified in this Combined Disclosure Statement
and Plan, all Assets (other than the Non-Vesting Assets) not sold
pursuant to the 363 Asset Sale or otherwise prior to the Effective
Date will vest in the Wind Down Estates for the purpose of winding
down the Estates pursuant to this Combined Disclosure Statement and
Plan. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Wind Down Estates
Assets shall be transferred to the Wind Down Estates free and clear
of all Claims, Liens, and encumbrances to the fullest extent
provided by sections 363 or 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code.
The vesting of the Wind Down Estates Assets shall not be construed
to destroy or limit any such Assets or rights or be construed as a
waiver of any right, and such rights may be asserted by the Wind
Down Estates as if such Asset or right was still held by the
Debtors.
The Wind Down Administrator shall be selected by the Debtors, and
shall be reasonably acceptable to the Secured Noteholders. The Wind
Down Administrator shall be the successor to and representative of
the Estate of each of the Debtors appointed pursuant to section
1123(b)(3)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code. The powers, rights, and
responsibilities of the Wind Down Administrator shall include the
authority and responsibility to fulfill the obligations of the
Combined Disclosure Statement and Plan consistent with the
Confirmation Order and to implement the Wind Down Transactions.

VIVAKOR INC: Secures $108MM Annualized Crude Oil Transaction
------------------------------------------------------------
Vivakor, Inc. announced that its commodities trading platform,
Vivakor Supply & Trading, LLC, has entered into a recurring
one-year crude oil transaction.
The transaction covers approximately 100,000 barrels of crude oil
per month through the Cushing Terminal under a one-year arrangement
running from June 1, 2026 through May 31, 2027, representing an
estimated $9 million per month, or approximately $108 million
annualized, based on current market pricing.
The arrangement reflects Vivakor's continued execution of its
integrated infrastructure and supply & trading strategy, supporting
the movement and marketing of crude oil volumes across its
logistics, storage, terminaling, transportation, and
pipeline-connected operating network. Through its supply and
trading platform, the Company continues expanding its ability to
source, market, transport, and coordinate crude oil volumes in a
manner that enhances asset utilization, strengthens system
connectivity, and supports value capture across key U.S. producing
regions.
Vivakor Chairman and Chief Executive Officer James Ballengee
commented, "This transaction further supports the continued
expansion of Vivakor Supply & Trading's recurring commercial
activity and reflects our strategy of integrating crude oil
marketing with our midstream infrastructure platform. Cushing
remains one of the most important crude oil trading hubs in North
America, and this agreement enhances our ability to participate in
multiple segments of the crude oil value chain while increasing
utilization across our integrated operating network."

VIVION INVESTMENTS: S&P Alters Outlook to Stable, Affirms 'BB' ICR
------------------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings revised the outlook on commercial real estate
company Vivion Investments S.a r.l. to stable from negative.
S&P also affirmed its 'BB' long-term issuer credit rating on
Vivion, its 'BB+' issue rating on its senior secured notes, and its
'B' rating on its subordinated perpetual notes.
S&P said, "The stable outlook reflects its expectation that cash
flow from Vivion's income-generating property portfolio will
improve slightly over the next 12 months as we expect occupancy to
improve, despite current market uncertainty. In our base-case
scenario, we assume that the company will improve its occupancy
rate to about 94%-95% from 93% as of March 31, 2026, and expect
overall credit metrics to be aligned with the current 'BB'
rating."
Vivion's recent credit enhancement measures will improve its credit
metrics by year-end 2026. S&P said, "We understand that the company
has implemented the following strategic actions and intends to
execute further credit measures that we believe would strengthen
its credit metrics over the next 6 to 12 months, driven by expected
deleveraging and a reduction in absolute interest expenses."
Recently completed strategic actions:
-- Debt refinancing: In December 2025, Vivion successfully
executed the refinancing of existing debt by issuing EUR505 million
in new 2030 secured notes and EUR252.5 million in subordinated
perpetual notes. These proceeds, alongside institutional investor
class C equity issued in August 2025, were used to redeem the
EUR768 million of existing 2028 secured notes out of about EUR900
million outstanding as of June 30, 2025. This transition
significantly reduced interest costs, as the new 2030 notes carry a
5.625% coupon--substantially lower than the 8.250% (6.50% cash and
1.75% payment in kind (PIK)) in the 2023 issuances.
-- Equity injections: In March 2026, Vivion's main shareholder
injected EUR60 million of common equity, which will be used to
reduce leverage.
-- Liability management: In May 2026, a EUR140 million tap of
existing 5.625% secured notes was completed to repay the remaining
balance of the 2028 notes, further lowering absolute interest
expenses.
In June 2026, Vivion has issued GBP150 million in U.K. secured debt
to repay existing secured debt of about GBP123 million, reducing
the margin to 2.8% plus SONIA from approximately 4.75% plus SONIA.
Vivion has signed leases on Essen office assets, which we
understand improved the occupancy in the office portfolio to 82% as
of March 31, 2026. The company expects this to improve to 88%-90%
in the next six months, based on current lease negotiations.
Events and measures that should further improve credit metrics:
-- Early refinancing of the other existing higher-cost debt at
more favorable rates over the next three months.
-- Projected recovery in EBITDA from the delivery of a hotel asset
and an expected improvement in German office occupancy in the next
six months.
S&P said, "Based on the above, we anticipate the average cost of
debt will decrease to approximately 6.0%-6.3% over the next six
months from 7.5%-8.0% as of Dec 31, 2025, contributing to lower
absolute interest expenses. Together with higher EBITDA generation,
we expect Vivion's EBITDA interest coverage ratio will improve to
1.6x-1.7x in 2026 and 1.7x-1.8 x in 2027 from 1.2x as of December
2025.
"We expect Vivion's leverage to remain relatively low. As of Dec.
31, 2025, adjusted debt to EBITDA was 9.5x and debt to debt plus
equity was 44.4%. We anticipate that the company's debt-to-EBITDA
ratio could improve to about 9.0x over the next 12 months, driven
by an expected full contribution to rental income from the acquired
hotel asset, an improvement in the German office occupancy level,
and lower leverage. We anticipate that debt to debt plus equity
could improve to 42%-43%, incorporating our assumption of a flat
portfolio valuation in 2026 and onward. Despite potential pressure
from rising interest rates due to geopolitical uncertainties, we
believe the risk of negative portfolio valuation will be mitigated
by increased inflation and occupancy rates, benefiting the
company's rental income. Our projections also assume slightly lower
net debt levels, reflecting the anticipated use of cash proceeds
from credit enhancement measures.
"We expect Vivion's operating performance will improve over the
next 12 months, primarily due to an expected rise in German office
occupancy. As of Dec. 31, 2025, occupancy in Vivion's German office
portfolio increased to 82% from 75% in June 2025. This improvement
was largely attributable to an increase in occupancy in the Essen
assets, with overall occupancy rising to 93% in December 2025, from
91% in June 2025. We understand Vivion is in advanced negotiations
with potential tenants to sign new leases and extend existing
leases. We therefore anticipate German office occupancy levels
could improve gradually to approximately 88%-90% over the next six
months, reaching about 91%-92% by 2027. This projected improvement
could be supported by the trend of more staff returning to the
office, less supply of new office space in key German cities, and
moderate upcoming lease maturities of about 10%-11% in 2026 and
2027. Furthermore, we understand that the hotel in Berlin, acquired
in 2024, should begin contributing to rental income in the next
three months.
"We forecast Vivion's like-for-like rental income will increase by
approximately 3.0%-4.0% in 2026, primarily reflecting the impact of
improving occupancy in the German office portfolio and our
expectation of positive indexations (all Vivion's U.K. leases and
more than 90% of its German leases are indexed to inflation or
include step-up rent components). We project like-for-like growth
of 1.5%-2.0% and overall revenue growth of about 4.0%-4.5% in 2027,
assuming a slight improvement in German office occupancy rates,
positive indexation, and the incremental contribution from the
acquired hotel asset."
Vivion's liquidity remains adequate, supported by a strong cash
position and limited short-term debt maturities for the next 12
months. As of March 31, 2026, Vivion's cash and liquid assets stood
at about EUR332 million (including about EUR3.0 million in
marketable securities), which is ample to cover its next 12 months
of debt maturity of about EUR141 million. The company recently
issued a tap on its existing 2030 secured notes of about EUR140
million to repay the balance outstanding on the 2028 secured notes
and also refinanced the U.K. secured debt of about GBP123 million
at a margin of 2.8% plus SONIA from approximately 4.75% plus SONIA
previously.
Of its debt, 95% is fixed or hedged, which limits volatility risk
arising from interest rate movements. The company had sufficient
headroom under its covenants as of Dec. 31, 2025. A high proportion
of its cash is held at Vivion's subsidiary, Golden Capital
Partners, but we understand there are no restrictions limiting
Vivion from accessing this cash, if needed, via intracompany loans
or dividend payments (though the latter would result in some cash
leakage). As of Dec. 31, 2025, Vivion's weighted-average debt
maturity (WAM) stood at 3.4 years, very close to our rating
requirement of a minimum of three years. That said, we understand
that Vivion is planning to refinance other existing debt to ensure
a WAM of comfortably above three years.
S&P said, "The stable outlook indicates that we expect operating
performance from Vivion's income-generating property portfolio to
remain relatively stable over the next 12 months, despite current
market uncertainty. In our base-case scenario, we assume that the
company will improve its occupancy rate to about 94%-95% from 93%
as of March 31, 2026, and expect overall credit metrics to be
aligned with the current 'BB' rating."
S&P could lower its rating on Vivion if:
-- If Vivion fails to improve EBITDA interest coverage to close to
1.8x in the next 12 months; or
-- Debt to EBITDA increases above 9.5x; or
-- Debt to debt plus equity increases toward 60%.
S&P could also lower the rating if Vivion's operating performance
deteriorates such that occupancy rates decline or rental growth is
lower than anticipated, or if the company experiences further asset
devaluation.
S&P could raise the rating if:
-- EBITDA interest coverage improves to above 2.4x; and
-- Debt to EBITDA improves toward 7.5x; and
-- Debt to debt plus equity remains below 50%; and
-- Liquidity remains adequate and Vivion's operating
performance--including occupancy rates, rental growth, and asset
values--remains stable.
WELLPATH HOLDINGS: Wins Bid to Dismiss Whiters Civil Rights Lawsuit
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Judge Gershwin A. Drain of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern
District of Michigan granted the motion to dismiss filed by
Defendants Wellpath, LLC ("Wellpath"), Brianna Behnke, Kari Mcavoy,
Ashley Beraty, Dr. Jo Ann Mitchell, and Shane Gibson's (the
"Wellpath Defendants") in the case captioned as DERRICK WHITERS,
Plaintiff, v. COLT BLAKER, et al., Defendants, Case No. 23-12161
(E.D. Mich.). Defendants' motion for summary judgment is granted in
part and denied in part.
This is a prisoner civil rights case arising from medical care
Plaintiff received while confined at Oakland County Jail ("OCJ").
At all times relevant to this case, medical services at OCJ were
provided by Wellpath pursuant to a health services agreement
between Defendants Wellpath and Oakland County.
Plaintiff initiated the present lawsuit on August 23, 2023.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1983, Plaintiff's Third Amended
Complaint alleges deliberate indifference claims under the Eighth
and Fourteenth Amendments against Deputy Colt Blaker, Deputy Vinnie
Khammo, Brianna Behnke, Kari Mcavoy, Richardson, Deputy Adam Wilson
Wilson, Deputy Jonathan Bagwell, Sergeant Dale Brown, Ashley
Beraty, Ann Mitchell, Shane Gibson, Wellpath, and Oakland County
for their alleged "failure to provide prompt medical treatment for
his serious medical condition, a broken finger, while he was
detained in the Oakland County jail." The individual Defendants are
sued in their individual capacities.
Behnke is an emergency medical technician employed by Wellpath.
Mcavoy is a nurse practitioner employed by Wellpath.
Mitchell is a doctor at the OCJ medical clinic who was employed by
Wellpath.
Gibson is a nurse employed by Wellpath.
Beraty is an administrative assistant employed by Wellpath.
Wellpath filed a voluntary petition for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in
the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of
Texas ("the Bankruptcy Court") on November 11, 2024. On May 1,
2025, the Bankruptcy Court issued its Confirmation Order which,
among other things, discharged all claims, interests, and causes of
action against Wellpath that arose before November 11, 2024, and
permanently enjoined parties from commencing or continuing any
action with respect to those claims or interests. It also
established an opt-out "Third-Party Release" system that discharged
claims and interests against certain "Released Parties," including
Wellpath's current and former employees, unless the plaintiff
timely opted out to preserve those claims.
The Wellpath Defendants' Motion to Dismis
The Wellpath Defendants move to dismiss Plaintiff's claims and
causes of action against them, arguing that they are barred by the
Confirmation Order. Moreover, all Defendants have moved for summary
judgment.
Plaintiff does not dispute that his claims and causes of action
against Wellpath must be dismissed under the Confirmation Order.
Instead, he opposes dismissal of his claims against Wellpath's
current and former employees -- Defendants Behnke, Mcavoy, Beraty,
Dr. Mitchell, and Gibson -- on two grounds. First, Plaintiff
contends that he never received an opt-out form. Second, Plaintiff
argues that his Sec. 1983 claims against the Wellpath employees
"vindicate constitutional rights and cannot be bargained away in a
corporate bankruptcy plan."
In this case, the Confirmation Order is a final judgment.
Plaintiff's contention that the Third-Party Release cannot be
enforced against him because he never received an opt out form
calls into question the Bankruptcy Court's determination, set forth
in its Confirmation Order, that affected claimants, including
Plaintiff, received adequate notice of the Third-Party Release and
the consequences of failing to opt out. Thus, Plaintiff's challenge
is, in essence, a collateral attack on the Confirmation Order,
which the District Court cannot entertain.
The same is true of Plaintiff's contention that the Third-Party
Release cannot encompass his claims against the Wellpath employees
because those claims "vindicate constitutional rights and cannot be
bargained away in a corporate bankruptcy plan." That assertion
challenges the Bankruptcy Court's approval of the Third-Party
Release and its determination that the release extends to all
claims and causes of action, including those asserted by Plaintiff
against the Wellpath employees in the present action. Whether the
Bankruptcy Court correctly approved a plan containing such a
release is not an issue the District Court may revisit.
For these reasons, the Court finds that the Confirmation Order bars
Plaintiff from pursuing his claims and causes of action against the
Wellpath Defendants. Accordingly, the Wellpath Defendants' motion
to dismiss is granted. The Court will
dismiss Plaintiff's claims against the Wellpath Defendants without
prejudice to give him the option to attempt to pursue these
arguments in the Bankruptcy Court or through the appellate
process.
Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment
All Defendants move for summary judgment on Plaintiff's deliberate
indifference claims. Given that the Court has found that dismissal
of Plaintiff's claims as to the Wellpath Defendants is appropriate,
the motion for summary judgment will be denied as moot as it
relates to them. The motion will be adjudicated only as it relates
to the remaining Defendants: Blaker, Khammo, Richardson, Brown,
Wilson, Bagwell, and Oakland County.

WENTHOLD EXCAVATING: Seeks to Extend Plan Exclusivity to Aug. 24
----------------------------------------------------------------
Wenthold Excavating, LLC asked the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of Iowa to extend its exclusivity periods to file
a plan of reorganization to Aug. 24, 2026.
The Debtor filed a Motion to Sell on April 10, 2026, which was
denied by Court order dated May 1, 2026.
The Debtor explains that it is continuing to work through case
considerations and negotiations with creditors, which includes
selecting an Auctioneer, filing an Application to Employ & a
revised Motion to Sell machinery and equipment. The outcome of said
Motion and potential sale of assets will impact Debtor's Plan of
Liquidation.
The Debtor claims that the request to extend the exclusivity period
has been provided to multiple secured creditor parties, none have
voiced objection. As part of this negotiation, a creditor
constituent has requested an extension of time to object to
discharge.
The Debtor asserts that no parties in interest would be prejudiced
in granting the extension or providing for a more meaningful and
concise plan given the potential sales of Debtor's primary assets,
to include machinery and equipment.
The Debtor further asserts that it continues to file its Monthly
Operating Reports and is in contact with creditors and parties in
interest on its reorganization.

WHATABRANDS LLC: S&P Affirms 'B' ICR on Declining Leverage
----------------------------------------------------------
S&P Global Ratings affirmed its ratings on Whatabrands LLC (dba
Whataburger), including its 'B' issuer credit rating and its
issue-level ratings.
S&P said, "We also revised the leverage threshold for a higher
rating to 5x from 7x and the trigger for a lower rating to 7x from
9x to better align with similar companies.
"The '3' recovery rating on its secured debt is unchanged and
indicates our expectation for meaningful recovery (50%-70%; rounded
estimate: 55%) in the event of a payment default.
"The stable outlook reflects our view that Whataburger remains
well-established in its core markets, with same-store sales
expected to stabilize in 2027." New unit expansion funded with
operating cash flow will drive modest deleveraging toward the
mid-5x area in 2026 and 2027.
Whataburger has demonstrated steady deleveraging despite pressured
same store sales. Both transaction volumes and average order size
declined over the last two years, driven by macroeconomic pressures
on its core customer base. Following 3.2% growth in 2024 from
higher pricing, comparable sales turned negative in 2025, declining
1.3% as the company adopted a more conservative pricing approach.
Comparable sales growth in 2025 slightly underperformed the broader
quick-service restaurant (QSR) industry, which S&P projects will
grow 0%-1% in 2026.
However, cost management and price increases supported stable S&P
Global Ratings-adjusted EBITDA margins in the low-18% area over the
last two years. Meanwhile, internally funded unit expansion
supported EBITDA growth and modest deleveraging.
S&P said, "While we expect pressures to persist in the near term,
we project comparable sales will eventually stabilize, supported by
Whataburger's deep-rooted presence and strong brand loyalty within
the Texas market and the recent introduction of a value menu.
Comparable sales modestly recovered by 30 basis points in the first
quarter following four consecutive quarters of decline.
"We expect leverage will reach 5.6x in 2026 and 5.5x in 2027,
supported by internally funded expansion and largely stable S&P
Global Ratings-adjusted EBITDA margins. We project internally
generated cash flow will remain sufficient to fund annual capital
expenditures of approximately $340 million in 2026 and $290 million
in 2027, with more than half of spending directed toward unit
growth.
"We anticipate capital expenditure (capex) will decrease in 2027 as
the company moderates new unit openings to approximately 45 units
annually, allowing Whataburger to fine-tune its model for new
market entry. In our view, although limited brand awareness outside
its core regions may present expansion headwinds, the company's
differentiated menu and strong regional identity in the South and
Southwest serve as catalysts for growth.
"We project S&P Global Ratings-adjusted EBITDA margins will remain
in the low-18% area, supported by continued cost controls to offset
elevated beef costs." S&P Global Ratings-adjusted EBITDA margin was
18.3% for the last 12 months through the first quarter,
representing a 10-basis-point sequential increase and remaining in
line with the three-year average. This was primarily driven by
optimized scheduling and labor deployment.
While elevated beef prices remain a persistent margin headwind,
beef is only a portion of overall cost of goods sold, and
Whataburger has a track record of maintaining margin stability.
S&P's base case assumes the company will continue mitigating this
risk through vendor contract renegotiations, cost management, and
price increases.
S&P said, "We revised the leverage threshold for a higher rating to
5.0x. We believe maintaining S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage
below this level would provide Whataburger with greater cash flow
flexibility to support rapid expansion and potential capital
returns to equity shareholders."
This threshold is also aligned with peers, including Flynn
Restaurant Group. Similar to Flynn, Whataburger is primarily a
restaurant operator, leaving it exposed to commodity and labor cost
volatility. Furthermore, high capital expenditures for aggressive
expansion, maintenance, and remodels constrain FOCF amid pressured
comparable sales growth.
S&P said, "Given Whataburger's financial-sponsor ownership, we
believe there is a greater risk of a leveraging transaction (for
example, a debt-funded dividend) and would require a track record
of more conservative credit metrics before considering a higher
rating. The company previously returned capital to equity owners
through a series of debt-funded transactions in 2021 and 2024 to
repurchase $1.45 billion of preferred equity. The 5.0x threshold is
also generally consistent with other sponsor-owned corporate
issuers, for which we have a comparable opinion of the business.
"The stable outlook reflects our expectation that leverage will
decline to 5.6x in 2026 and 5.5x in 2027 due to higher S&P Global
Ratings-adjusted EBITDA from internally funded unit expansion and
largely stable margins. This will be partially offset by continued
near-term pressures in same store sales. It also reflects our
expectation that reported FOCF will remain positive.
"We could lower our rating on Whatabrands if the company adopts a
more aggressive financial policy or operational performance
declines such that it sustains leverage above 7.0x and reported
FOCF is minimal or negative." This could occur if:
-- Operating performance deteriorates due to declining
visitations; and
-- New units underperform while significant capital outlays lead
to minimal or negative FOCF.
S&P could raise its rating on Whatabrands if it sustains leverage
below 5.0x and meaningful reported FOCF. This could occur if:
-- S&P Global Ratings-adjusted EBITDA margins are stable and
same-store sales growth is sustained at or above inflation; and
-- The company is committed to sustaining leverage below 5.0x.

WRIGHT SCAPES: Amends Several Secured Claims Pay Details
--------------------------------------------------------
Wright Scapes, Inc. submitted an Amended Plan of Reorganization for
Small Business dated June 4, 2026.
The Plan payments will be made from net revenues (disposable
income) over the life of the Plan.
The Debtor has an indebtedness to the Internal Revenue Service in
the approximate amount of $30,800, which will be definitively
determined upon the Debtor's filing of its tax returns and
discussions with the IRS. For Plan purposes, the IRS will be paid
$30,800 over 56 months at 5% interest in the amount of $550 per
month.
General Unsecured creditors with allowed claims will be paid pro
rata of $59,000 over the life of the Plan, approximately 7% which
will be disbursed pro rata commencing in month 20, as set forth in
the Distribution Schedule attached to the Plan. Because of the
substantial amount of Secured, Priority and Administrative claim
indebtedness, the payments to unsecured creditors cannot be made
until year month 20.
The Plan Proponent's financial projections show that the Debtor
will have projected disposable income sufficient to make plan
payments. The final Plan payment is expected to be paid in July
2032.
The value of the Debtor's assets at the time of the bankruptcy
petition was approximately $130,000. In order to maximize the
distribution to unsecured creditors, any indebtedness owed to
insiders is subordinated until after completion of all Plan
payments.
This Plan of Reorganization proposes to pay creditors of the Debtor
from cash flow from operations.
Class 2 Secured Claim of the Small Business Administration shall be
paid a secured claim of $28,084.15 over 5 years at 3.75% interest
as set forth in the Distribution Schedule
(Because of the value of the Debtor's assets the SBA class 2 claim
is underscored in the amount of $105,000. The claims of all other
creditors asserting a secured claim shall be treated as fully under
secured claims and shall receive pro rata distributions as class 3
unsecured claims.)
Class 3 Priority Claim of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) shall
be paid $30,800.00 over 56 months at 5% interest.
Like in the prior iteration of the Plan, payments to allowed
unsecured creditors will commence month 20 with a pro rata payment
of $6,000, and $6,000 payments in months 28,32,36, month 40 of
$5,000, month 44 of $4,000, month 48 of $5,000, month 52 of $4,000,
month 56 of $5,000 and month 60 of $6,000.
Equity Interest Holders as scheduled shall maintain their equity
ownership of the Debtor which they held pre-petition and shall
receive no distribution under the Plan. Mr. Erik Wright is the 100%
shareholder of the Debtor.
The Debtor shall fund the plan from its revenues received from the
revenues derived from its operations which pursuant to its
projections is sufficient to pay the plan payments on a timely
basis.

WSN CONSTRUCTION: Unsecured Creditors to Split $50K in Plan
-----------------------------------------------------------
WSN Construction LLC filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of Florida an Amended Plan of Reorganization
dated June 4, 2026.
The Debtor is a construction company that primarily repairs and
performs maintenance on water and sewer systems. In addition, the
Debtor performs land clearing work on construction projects and
related work.
The Debtor is a historically profitable and successful construction
company. However, in the past year or so prior to filing, the
Debtor's operations have been significantly disrupted primarily due
to disputes that arose in connection with multiple jobs in the
northeast Tallahassee area with the same contractor.
The Debtor is now expecting to return to profitability by working
on jobs for entities that will pay in a timely fashion and allow
the Debtor to efficiently and effectively complete work. The Debtor
filed this case to allow its cash flow to stabilize so it can
reorganize and continue operations.
This Plan of Reorganization proposes to pay creditors of the Debtor
from the Debtor's continued operations. The owners of the Debtor,
Kimberly Nelson and William Scott Nelson, will remain in their
roles post-confirmation.
This Plan provides for the payment of seven classes of secured
claims, one class of general unsecured claims, and one class of
equity security holders. This Plan provides for the payment of
administrative and priority claims in full.
Class 7 consists of General Unsecured Claims. The class of general
unsecured claims shall receive a total dividend of $50,000.00.
Installment payments (to be distributed pro rata) in the amount of
$2,500.00 shall commence on the fifteenth day of the month, on the
first month that begins more than ninety days after the Effective
Date and shall continue every ninety days thereafter for nineteen
additional payments. This Class is impaired.
Class 8 consists of Equity Security Holders: William Scott Nelson
and Kimberly Nelson. Post confirmation, the equity security holders
will continue to receive the salaries that were approved by the
Court during this case.
The Debtor shall fund its Plan from its continued operations.
Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, the Debtor will act as the
disbursing agent under this plan (not the Subchapter V Trustee).

YELLOW CORP: Chapter 11 Pension Claim Review Scheduled for Sept.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Vince Sullivan of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that Yellow
Corp. received approval Monday, June 15, 2026, for a discovery and
briefing timetable that will lead to an estimation proceeding over
withdrawal liability claims asserted by three pension funds. The
bankruptcy court authorized a three-month schedule designed to
prepare the parties for litigation over the disputed claims.
The claims represent a significant issue in Yellow's bankruptcy, as
the former trucking company and the pension funds continue to
disagree over the amount owed following the company's withdrawal
from the retirement plans. Although some pension-related disputes
have been settled, several major claims remain unresolved, the
report cites.
The court's order establishes deadlines for evidence gathering and
briefing ahead of a September estimation hearing. The ruling is
expected to help advance the bankruptcy case by providing a
framework for determining the value of the contested pension
liabilities, according to Law360.

[] Montana Farm Bankruptcies Rose in 2026 Amid Economic Pressure
----------------------------------------------------------------
Victoria Traxler of Montana Public Radio reports that economic
headwinds, including tariffs and shifting agricultural markets,
contributed to a sharp increase in Montana farm bankruptcies last
year. Agricultural economists reported six Chapter 12 filings in
2025, compared with just two cases the year before.
Montana Farm Bureau President Cyndi Johnson said bankruptcy filings
among farmers in the state are typically uncommon. The jump in
cases during 2025 underscores the financial challenges confronting
producers as operating costs remain high and profitability remains
under pressure.
Walter Schweitzer, president of the Montana Farmers Union, believes
the recent filings may signal deeper problems ahead. He cautioned
that many farmers were able to remain afloat in 2025 only because
they expected economic conditions to improve, a turnaround that has
yet to materialize, according to report.
Chapter 12 bankruptcy offers farmers an opportunity to restructure
their obligations, though doing so may involve selling farmland,
equipment, or other assets. Schweitzer emphasized the personal and
emotional impact these decisions can have on farm families. At the
national level, USDA forecasts indicate farm debt will climb to a
record $620 billion in 2026, exceeding previous highs reached
during the 1980s agricultural downturn, the report relays.
