The business, founded in 1996, is 100% owned by Alfredo Mauricio Fraga and typically employs 20–25 workers. The restaurant's financial condition declined over recent years due to: * Reduced restaurant patronage in Washington, D.C. * Regulatory policies that increased operating costs. * Falling behind on obligations, including taxes owed to the District of Columbia Office of Tax and Revenue. * Borrowing from multiple lenders, including high-cost merchant cash advance (MCA) companies with high interest rates and fees, which worsened cash flow problems. Despite efforts to remain operational, the business became unable to meet its monthly debt obligations and filed for bankruptcy protection. Proposed Plan * The Debtor projects sufficient cash flow to continue operating while contributing more than $650,000 to fund the reorganization plan over five years. * Class 4 (General Unsecured Claims) includes approximately $2.35 million in unsecured claims not otherwise cured. * Holders of allowed Class 4 claims will receive: -- A pro rata share of monthly plan payments and any monthly avoidance action proceeds. -- Payments only after administrative claims and priority tax claims are paid in full. -- A minimum estimated recovery of approximately 3.5% of allowed claims. * Because Class 4 claims are impaired, those creditors are entitled to vote to accept or reject the plan. Ownership and Implementation * Alfredo Mauricio Fraga will retain his 100% ownership interest in the company. * Equity holders are unimpaired and therefore are not entitled to vote on the plan. * Upon the plan's effective date, all estate property will revest in the Debtor, subject only to liens preserved or created by the plan. * The Debtor will make monthly payments for 60 months, beginning on the first business day of the first full month after the plan becomes effective. If the court determines additional payments are required, the Debtor will make them. Monthly payments may be reduced by amounts spent defending asserted non-dischargeable claims. A full-text copy of the Plan of Reorganization dated July 23, 2026 is available at https://urlcurt.com/u?l=KGGZ3Y from PacerMonitor.com at no charge. Counsel to the Debtor: Craig M. Palik, Esq.

Under the final order, the Debtor is authorized to use cash collateral based on the court-approved budget. The Debtor must not exceed the permitted expense deviations without the prior consent of secured creditors or further court order. The U.S. Small Business Administration and other secured creditors will be granted adequate protection through replacement liens on post-petition inventory and income generated from the Debtor's business. The replacement liens retain the same relative priority as the pre-petition liens. As additional protection, the Debtor is required to make monthly payments to the SBA on account of its Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL). The Debtor is also required to keep the secured creditors' collateral fully insured, maintain it in good repair, and provide a monthly accounting of revenues, expenses, and collections through its monthly operating reports. The order preserves all rights and lien positions of the secured creditors, ensuring that authorization to use cash collateral does not waive or impair any of their claims or security interests.

Under the interim order, the Debtor is permitted to use cash collateral to maintain operations in accordance with an approved budget. Total expenditures may exceed the approved budget by no more than 20% unless the lenders agree otherwise. The Debtor projects total operational expenses of $103,731 for period from July to January 2027. As adequate protection for the use of their cash collateral, lenders including Blum Family Dynasty, Inc., Pacific Capital Solutions, LLC, K & E Excavating, Inc., and Lenity Architecture, Inc. will be granted replacement liens and security interests on estate property of the same type and priority as their pre-petition collateral. If the replacement liens prove insufficient, the lenders are entitled to an administrative expense claim under Sections 503(b) and 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtor is required under the interim order to deposit all existing and post-petition cash collateral into its debtor-in-possession account and maintain insurance on the collateral for its full replacement value. Events of default include unauthorized spending outside the approved budget, failure to comply with the order, appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee, conversion to Chapter 7, or dismissal of the case. The Debtor is given 10 days to cure certain defaults after receiving written notice. If an uncured default occurs, the lenders may seek court approval, after seven business days' written notice, to terminate the Debtor's authority to use cash collateral.

WESTERN: Court Extends Cash Collateral Access to Sept. 4 ---------------------------------------------------------------- The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division entered a sixth interim order authorizing 7452 N. Western Ave., Inc. to use cash collateral to fund operations. The court found that access to cash collateral is necessary to prevent "immediate and irreparable harm" to the Debtor's estate and authorized its use from July 31 through September 4 in accordance with the budget, subject to a 10% variance. The cash collateral is subject to security interests held by creditors including Byline Bank, Newtek Bank, Altbanq Lending II, LLC and the U.S. Small Business Administration. As of the petition date, the secured creditors' cash collateral consisted of $30,000 in cash and $23,000 in inventory. Newtek is owed approximately $650,000 while the SBA is owed approximately $185,000. As adequate protection, these secured creditors will receive replacement liens and security interests on the Debtor's pre-petition and post-petition property, maintaining the same extent, validity, and priority as their pre-petition liens. The replacement liens are automatically perfected without the need for additional filings. Additional safeguards include insurance coverage on the secured creditors' collateral, regular financial reporting, and access to the Debtor's books and records.

The Debtor is a District of Columbia business association owned by Peter Odagbodo and Alice Odagbodo. The company acquired and owned five real properties in Washington, D.C. The properties were rented to tenants under revolving lease agreements and generated rental income from approximately 2008 through 2020. In 2020, significant disputes arose with the District of Columbia Office of the Attorney General (DC OAG) regarding the operation and condition of the property at 6145–6149 Kansas. The plan consists of two primary phases: Phase One * The debtor, through Marcus & Millichap, will sell most of the real properties, retaining only the properties at 1832 Bryant and 1676 Kramer. * Sales and refinancing are expected to occur after August 6, 2026. * The proceeds will be used to pay: -- Allowed administrative expenses. -- A portion of the Class 1 claim. -- All allowed secured claims in Classes 2–2F (DC Water). -- All allowed secured claims in Classes 3 and 3A (Office of Tax and Revenue). -- All Class 4 unsecured claims, including statutory interest. Phase Two * The debtor will refinance or, if necessary, sell the retained properties to satisfy the remaining balance of the Class 1 claim. * If the debtor fails to pay the required plan amount by August 4, 2026, and a notice of default is issued by DC OAG, DC OAG may foreclose on the properties and may pursue the equity holders for any remaining deficiency. Treatment of Unsecured Claims (Class 4): * Class 4 consists of the unsecured claim of Van Ness Feldman, LLP in the amount of $40,731.37. * The claim will receive 100% repayment over the term of the plan, with 2.0% projected interest. * The debtor will not receive a discharge because it is not an individual. The plan will be funded through: * Sales of the real properties. * Refinancing of the retained properties. * New value contributions from the equity interest holders. * Rental income generated by the retained properties at 1832 Bryant and 1676 Kramer after the plan's effective date. If refinancing is unsuccessful or the plan defaults, the retained properties may also be sold to fund the plan.

A2Z FIELD: Seeks Continued Cash Collateral Access Thru Oct 31 ------------------------------------------------------------- A2Z Field Services, LLC asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, for authority to continue using cash collateral through October 31. Having commenced its voluntary bankruptcy case on May 1 and recently filed a plan of liquidation on July 30 to wind up operations, monetize assets, and resolve claims, the Debtor requires continued cash collateral access to administer the estate, fund wind-down expenses, and prosecute its Chapter 11 case through plan confirmation. The proposed extension budget runs from August 2 through October 31, projecting a reduction in cash reserves from $18,265 to $43,856 after accounting for operational collections, remaining infrastructure, rent, and insurance costs, alongside Chapter 11 administrative costs such as attorney, Subchapter V trustee, and adequate protection payments. To protect secured creditors during the post-petition wind-down, the Debtor proposes paying monthly payments of $4,500 (as itemized in weeks 4, 9, and 13 of the proposed budget) and granting replacement liens to secure On Deck's claimed interest in pre-petition cash collateral. Other pre-petition secured creditors such as AFK Inc., Bellwether Capital, Daytona Funding Solutions, Fintech Capital Group, Highland Hill Capital, and QFS Financial will receive automatically perfected replacement liens and security interests on cash collateral existing as of the petition date, maintaining the same priority and scope without requiring new UCC financing statement filings.

ACHIEVEABILITY THERAPY: Gets Extension to Access Cash Collateral ---------------------------------------------------------------- The United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida entered a third interim order granting Achieveability Therapy Services, P.L. authority to use cash collateral. Under the interim order, the Debtor is authorized to use cash collateral for court-approved expenses, necessary operating costs included in the budget, and up to a 10% variance for each budget line item. Additional expenditures require written approval from secured creditors, while payments to insiders or professionals cannot be made without prior court approval. Meanwhile, all customers and insurance providers, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Aetna, and United Healthcare, are directed under the interim order to remit accounts receivable directly to the Debtor, with collected funds remaining subject to valid secured liens. The authorization will continue until further order of the court. Secured creditors will be granted adequate protection through post-petition replacement liens on cash collateral, with the same validity, priority, and extent as the creditor's pre-petition liens. Additional safeguards include insurance coverage, regular financial reporting, and access to business records and premises upon request. The order preserves the rights of parties in interest to seek modified adequate protection or additional restrictions on the use of cash collateral and does not affect the authority of the U.S. Trustee to appoint a creditors' committee or the committee's ability to challenge the validity, priority, or extent of asserted liens. A copy of the court's order and the Debtor's budget is available at https://shorturl.at/gwsCu from PacerMonitor.com. The court scheduled the next hearing for September 16.

As of the petition date, Elsa Lee is the company's sole member and officer. Employee Retention Credit (ERC) Claims: * On January 16, 2024, the debtor filed an adjusted federal employment tax return seeking an Employee Retention Credit (ERC) refund of approximately $8.29 million for qualified wages paid during the first three quarters of 2021. * On January 17, 2025, the debtor entered into an agreement with 1861 Acquisition LLC, selling its rights to ERC payments for the first and second quarters of 2021, totaling approximately $5.45 million. * In exchange, the debtor received: -- A purchase price of approximately $4.63 million, and -- Fifty percent of any IRS interest paid above the ERC amount. The Chapter 11 case was filed to allow the debtor to: * Complete its existing customer contracts. * Collect amounts owed under those contracts. * Pursue collection of the remaining ERC claims. * Wind down operations. * Repay outstanding debts while avoiding ongoing litigation costs, unnecessary lease expenses, and other burdensome obligations. Reorganization Plan * The debtor expects to continue performing customer contracts for up to 36 months. * The plan is intended to allow the debtor to: -- Complete those contracts. -- Collect the ERC refunds. -- Make distributions to allowed creditors and equity holders. * The debtor states that the plan will provide creditors with recoveries equal to or greater than they would receive in a Chapter 7 liquidation and will also provide a recovery to equity holders. Treatment of Claims * Class 4 General Unsecured Claims: -- After payment in full of administrative expenses, professional fees, DIP claims, priority claims, priority tax claims, and Classes 1 through 3, holders of allowed Class 4 claims will receive: 100% of their allowed claims, plus legal-rate interest. -- Class 4 creditors will also participate in distributions from the ERC recovery. -- If the agreement with 1861 Acquisition is later determined to be a loan rather than a sale, and the IRS pays less than the contingent claim amount, the unpaid deficiency will become a general unsecured claim included in Class 4. -- If available cash is insufficient, Class 4 creditors will receive their pro rata share of available funds. Class 5 ERC Contingent General Unsecured Claim: * Class 5 consists of the contingent unsecured claim of Strategic Tax Planning, LLC. * Upon the IRS's payment of the debtor's ERC, and after higher priority claims are paid in full, the holder will receive: 100% of its allowed claim, plus legal-rate interest. * Class 5 will receive distributions only from the ERC recovery and will share those distributions on the same basis as Class 4. * If ERC recoveries are insufficient, the holder will receive its pro rata share of the cash allocated to Classes 4 and 5. The plan will be funded through: * Receivables generated from the debtor's business operations. * Proceeds from the debtor's Employee Retention Credit claims. The plan provides that, on its effective date, its provisions will serve as a good-faith compromise and settlement of claims, interests, causes of action, and other disputes resolved under the plan.

AINOS INC: Q2 Net Loss Widens 12% to $4.6M; Going Concern Persists ------------------------------------------------------------------ Ainos, Inc. filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, reporting a net loss of $4,594,731 in Q2 2026 compared to $4,084,990 in Q2 2025, resulting in an increase of $509,741, or 12%. The Company said that the net loss was due to expanding operating expenses as it continued to invest resources to execute its growth strategy and product roadmap to improve its profitability. For the H1 2026, the Company reported a net loss of $7,054,531, compared to $7,371,012 for the same period in 2025, a decrease of $316,481, or 4%. Revenues, Costs, and Gross Loss The Company reported $152 and $4,663 in revenue in Q2 2026 and Q2 2025, respectively. The decrease of revenue in Q2, 2026, was primarily caused by lower sales volume on VELDONA pet supplements during the reporting period, as the Company shifts its operational focus to the AI Nose platform. The cost of revenue related to product sales in Q2 2026 was $53 compared to $937 in Q2 2025. The decrease in cost of revenue was caused by the aforementioned lower produce volume for VELDONA pet supplements during the reporting period. Gross profit from product sales in Q2 2026 was $99 as compared to $3,726 gross profit from product sales in Q2 2025. The decrease in gross profit was due to the aforementioned lower sale volume. For the H1 2026, the Company reported revenue of $313, compared to $110,870 during the same period in 2025. The decrease of revenue in H1, 2026 was primarily caused by lower sales volume on AI Nose-related programs in healthcare-adjacent applications. This decrease was partly attributable to a strategic shift in focus from healthcare-adjacent applications toward industrial deployments, which are currently at earlier stages of commercialization. The Company generated nil and $105,942 in revenues from AI Nose-related programs, and $313 and $4,928 from pet supplements in H1 2026 and H1 2025, respectively. The cost of revenue related to product sales in H1 2026 was $816 compared to $19,170 in H1 2025. The decrease in cost of revenue was caused by the aforementioned lower produce volume for AI Nose-related programs during the reporting period. Gross loss from product sales in H1 2026 was $503 as compared to $91,700 gross profit from product sales in H1 2025. The decrease in gross profit was due to the aforementioned lower sale volume. Liquidity As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,422,912. The Company plans to finance its operations and development needs with its existing cash and cash equivalents, additional equity, and/or debt financing arrangements. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing on terms acceptable to the Company, on a timely basis, or at all. If the Company is not able to obtain sufficient funds on acceptable terms when needed, the Company's business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely impacted. On May 31, 2024, the Company entered into an At-the-Market Offering Agreement, or sales agreement, with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, or Wainwright, pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell, from time to time, shares of its common stock, the aggregate market value of Shares eligible for sale in the Offering and under the ATM Agreement will be subject to the limitations of General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, to the extent required under such instruction. The prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on July 11, 2024, is offering Shares having an aggregate offering price of $1,840,350. On Sept. 5, 2025, the Company filed a prospectus supplement to amend the Prospectus to update the amount of shares the Company is eligible to sell pursuant to such prospectus. The Company increased the amount of shares of Common Stock it may offer and sell under the Sales Agreement to an aggregate offering price of up to $874,496 from time to time through Wainwright. Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, in no event will the Company sell securities in a public primary offering with a value exceeding one-third of its public float in any 12-month calendar period so long as its public float remains below $75 million. For the H1 2026, the Company sold 283,336 shares of common stock under the ATM facility and received $601,600 in net proceeds after deducting commissions and expenses. As of June 30, 2026, the Company sold 1,017,550 shares of common stock under the At-the-Market Offering Agreement, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $2,610,321. The Company expects to continue incurring development expenses for the next 12 months as the Company advances its product development plans. Going Concern The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred net operating losses since inception and has an accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2026 of $74,574,859 and expects to incur additional losses and negative operating cash flows for at least the next 12 months. The Company's ability to meet its obligations is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations and future financing transactions. Although management expects the Company will continue as a going concern, there is no assurance that management's plans will be successful since the availability and amount of such funding is not certain. Accordingly, substantial doubt exists about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within the next 12 months. A full-text copy of the Company's Form 10-Q is available at https://tinyurl.com/mryuubke About Ainos Ainos, Inc. -- https://www.ainos.com/ -- is an artificial intelligence and healthcare Company focused on the commercialization of proprietary scent digitization technology, AI-powered sensing solutions, point-of-care testing, and low-dose oral interferon therapeutics. Irvine, California-based YCM CPA INC, the Company's auditor since 2025, issued a "going concern" qualification in its report dated March 30, 2026, attached to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2025, citing that the Company incurred recurring losses from operations and has an accumulated deficit, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $19,561,485 in total assets, $16,277,500 in total liabilities, and $3,283,985 in total stockholders' equity. AIR INDUSTRIES: Extends Outside Date for Tenax Merger to Nov. 30 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Air Industries Group, a leading manufacturer of precision components and assemblies for aerospace and Department of War prime contractors, said that, on July 31, 2026, the Company entered into an amendment to the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 2, 2026, with Tenax Aerospace Acquisition, LLC and Transitory Air Sub LLC, extending the "Outside Date" (as defined in the Merger Agreement) by 60 days, from Sep. 30, 2026, to Nov. 30, 2026. The extension was necessitated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, notifying the Company that it will review the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed on July 22, 2026, relating to the pending merger with Tenax. While the Company does not anticipate that the SEC's review will affect the economic terms of the contemplated merger, completing the review process will likely prevent the merger from being closed by Sept. 30, 2026. The Merger Agreement contains customary termination rights for the benefit of Air Industries and Tenax, including the right to terminate the Merger Agreement if the closing does not occur on or before the Outside Date. Management Commentary Scott Glassman, Acting Chief Executive Officer of Air Industries, commented, "Although we hoped the SEC would elect not to review the S-4, it is normal for the SEC to review and comment on a Registration Statement. We expect the Registration Statement to be effective prior to the end of the third quarter and anticipate convening our shareholder meeting thereafter and closing the transaction prior to November 30."

ALTERRA MOUNTAIN: Moody's Affirms 'B1' CFR, Outlook Remains Stable ------------------------------------------------------------------ Moody's Ratings affirmed Alterra Mountain Company's (Alterra) B1 Corporate Family Rating and B1-PD Probability of Default Rating. Moody's also affirmed the B1 rating on Alterra's $500 million senior secured first lien revolver due 2028, $1.58 billion senior secured first lien term loan B due 2028 and $1.1 billion senior secured term loan B due 2030. The outlook on Alterra remains stable. The affirmation reflects Moody's expectations that Alterra's operating earnings will partially recover in the fiscal year ended July 2027 from the weather-driven disruption experienced during the 2025/2026 ski season. Moody's expects the potential for higher snowfall in the Rockies following a historically weak snow year and the continued ramp-up of the Deer Valley East Village expansion to improve earnings over the next year. The Deer Valley expansion has more than doubled skiable terrain at the resort, and as additional investments in ancillary businesses are fully completed, the resort will have additional capacity for visitation and ancillary revenue. The continued resilience of the Ikon Pass advance-commitment model and cost discipline limited the effect of visitation declines on the company's revenue and earnings. The company's very good liquidity provides ample flexibility to fund its multi-year capital investment program. The affirmation also reflects Moody's expectations that debt-to-EBITDA leverage, which was very high at 6.9x (incorporating Moody's adjustments) for the 12 months ended April 30, 2026, will decline toward the mid-5.0x range over the next year as earnings normalize and ultimately below 5x once growth capital projects including the Deer Valley expansion begin contributing more fully to EBITDA. Moody's also anticipates expenses associated with the management incentive plan (MIP) to decline meaningfully in fiscal 2027 following significant cash outflows over the last two years. Because the company holds a sizable cash balance, net leverage is lower though Moody's anticipates the company will preserve the cash to maintain liquidity for reinvestment. Retained cash flow to net debt slipped to 9.2% as of April 2026 from 10.8% in fiscal 2025 but remains within Moody's expectations for the rating. Alterra's 2025/2026 ski season was materially impacted by historically low snowfall and unfavorable temperatures, particularly across the Rockies and Western regions. Despite a substantial decline in skier visitation year over year, revenue and earnings declined more moderately, reflecting the stabilizing benefits of the company's pass-based advance commitment model, which secures a substantial portion of customer spending before the ski season. RATINGS RATIONALE Alterra's B1 CFR reflects the company's strong market position, significant recurring investment needs and Moody's expectations that currently high financial leverage and negative free cash flow driven by poor 2025/2026 ski season weather and the multi-year Deer Valley expansion will improve over the next two years. Moody's-adjusted debt-to-EBITDA was 6.9x for the 12 months ended April 30, 2026, elevated for the rating due to the weather-driven earnings decline this year. Because Ikon pass sales for the 2026/2027 season are pacing behind the prior year and visitation is weather-dependent, there is uncertainty about the magnitude of any earnings and leverage improvement in fiscal 2027. Moody's also expects leverage to remain elevated for the rating until spending related to growth investments including the Deer Valley expansion subsides and earnings from the investments are realized. Because Alterra's net debt-to-EBITDA leverage (4.4x as of April 2026 based on the company's calculation) is above the company's 4.0x target, Moody's anticipates the company will remain focused on reducing leverage over the next two years. The rating also reflects that Alterra's operating results are highly seasonal and exposed to varying weather conditions and discretionary consumer spending. Reinvestment needs are significant to maintain the ski facilities, continually improve the guest experience and sustain the competitive position and ability to charge premium prices. The ratings are supported by Alterra's strong market position as one of the largest operators in the North American ski industry, with 19 year-round resorts in the US and Canada, including the world's largest heli-skiing operation. Alterra benefits from its good geographic diversification, and a balanced portfolio with regional ski properties and destination resorts. The growing penetration of the Ikon pass provides a stable, prepaid revenue stream that helps mitigate weather exposure. Alterra also benefits from its affluent core customer base, which has proven relatively insulated from macroeconomic pressures. The North American ski industry has high barriers to entry and has exhibited resiliency even during weak economic periods, including the 2007-2009 recession, and demand tends to recover quickly following weak snow seasons. Moody's expects capital expenditures to remain elevated in fiscal 2026 and 2027 before declining moderately in 2028, with free cash flow expected to remain negative through 2027 and turn positive in 2028. Alterra maintains very good liquidity with $669 million of cash as of April 30, 2026 and $467 million of availability under its $500 million undrawn revolving credit facility due May 2028 net of letters of credit. Alterra has some flexibility to adjust capital spending depending on operating performance to preserve cash if necessary. Liquidity will weaken if the company does not proactively address the revolver maturity though cash is sufficient to fund Moody's projections for a $50-75 million cash flow deficit in fiscal 2027 and roughly $27 million of required annual term loan amortization. FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectations that debt-to-EBITDA leverage will decline to mid-5x over the next year as visitation normalizes and earnings grow, and that leverage will decline to below 5x once Alterra realizes incremental visitation from the Deer Valley expansion. The stable outlook also reflects that the company's very good liquidity provides flexibility to reinvest and manage operations should earnings be weaker than expected. The ratings could be upgraded if Alterra continues to grow organically while sustaining debt-to-EBITDA below 4.0x, retained cash flow (RCF)-to-net debt exceeds 17.5%, and maintaining very good liquidity. The company would also need to sustain good reinvestment in operations to maintain strong consumer demand to be considered for an upgrade. The ratings could be downgraded if debt-to-EBITDA is sustained above 5.0x, or RCF-to-net debt falls below 7.5%. Weak reinvestment, visitation declines, or margin deterioration could also lead to a downgrade. In addition, if there is a material weakening of liquidity for any reason, or the company's financial policies become more aggressive, including undertaking a large debt-funded acquisition or the payment of dividends, the ratings could be downgraded. Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, Alterra Mountain Company ("Alterra") is owned and controlled by an investor group comprised of private equity firm KSL Capital Partners and a minority position held by family office/investment firm Henry Crown & Company. Through its subsidiaries, Alterra is one of North America's premier mountain resort and adventure companies, operating 19 destinations in the US and Canada, including the world's largest heli-skiing operation. The company also owns Canadian Mountain Holidays (CMH), a heli-skiing operator, as well as Mike Wiegele Helicopter Skiing and Ski Butlers, a ski equipment delivery service. Alterra is private and does not publicly disclose its financials. For the 12 months ended April 30, 2026, the company generated revenue of about $2.0 billion. The principal methodology used in these ratings was Business and Consumer Services published in February 2026. AMERIMED EMERGENCY: Court Extends Cash Collateral Access to Aug. 14 ------------------------------------------------------------------- The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Georgia entered a third interim order authorizing Amerimed Emergency Medical Services, LLC to continue using cash collateral. The third interim order authorized the Debtor to use cash collateral through August 14 in accordance with an approved budget, allowing up to a 10% variance per budget line item and permitting unpaid budgeted expenses to be carried forward and paid in later periods. Lenders such as merchant cash advance providers and the Internal Revenue Service assert liens or security interests in the Debtor's assets, including accounts receivable, deposit accounts, revenue streams, and vehicle-related collateral. To protect these asserted interests, secured creditors will be granted replacement liens on the Debtor's post-petition assets similar to their alleged pre-petition collateral but only to the extent their interests are diminished by the Debtor's use of cash collateral. The replacement liens exclude proceeds from avoidance actions and remain subject to a carveout for U.S. Trustee fees and court-approved professional fees. The order preserves the Debtor's right to challenge the validity, extent, and priority of the secured creditors' asserted liens, while also preserving the secured creditors' rights to seek additional protection, relief from the automatic stay, or other remedies. The Debtor is prohibited from using cash collateral to pay pre-petition debts without further court approval and remains effective through August 14, unless modified or extended by the court. A copy of the court's order and the Debtor's budget is available at https://shorturl.at/Ekfom from PacerMonitor.com. A final hearing is scheduled for August 11, with objections required to be filed no later than two business days before the hearing.

AND GO: To Sell Restaurants to Boersma Bros for $105MM ------------------------------------------------------ And Go Concepts, LLC and its debtor affiliates seek approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, to sell Property, free and clear of liens, claims, interests, and encumbrances. The Debtors wishes to sell material assets of its leasehold portfolio related to the Sites, including 51 Salad and Go drive-thru locations in Arizona and Nevada and certain additional leases located in Texas and Oklahoma. The Debtors own and operate a quick-service, drive-thru restaurant chain that offers affordable, health-focused menu items such as salads, bowls, wraps, breakfast burritos, and soups (Restaurants). The footprint of the Restaurants is compact, with no kitchen, hood, grill, or fry equipment. The Restaurants feature single or double lane drive-throughs. The Debtors' lease portfolio consists of approximately 130 locations across five states, operated under the "Salad and Go" quick-service restaurant concept. The portfolio is concentrated in Arizona, Texas, Nevada, Oklahoma, with unopened sites in California. Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtors ceased operations in approximately 75 sites, which were primarily leases in Texas and Oklahoma. All of the Debtors' active leases are with And Go Concepts LLC as the tenant. Despite ceasing operations at these locations, the Debtors continued paying rent through July 31, 2026. The combination of lack of revenue at the closed locations and paying expenses on these locations contributed to the Debtors' financial strain. The Debtors weighed the bidders' request for a direct sale with pros and cons of a traditional 363 auction process. The Debtors engaged in robust negotiations with both parties to achieve the maximum value for the Debtors’ stakeholders and received bids from both. The Debtors selected Boersma Bros. LLC, an Oregon limited liability company doing business as Dutch Bros, as the party submitting the highest or otherwise best offer for the Debtors' assets related to the Sites, considering the totality of the circumstances including deal certainty, speed of closing, limited conditionality, and overall value to the estates. Additionally, the proceeds from the Sale are expected to be sufficient to pay all allowed claims against the Debtors' estates in full. On August 4, 2026, Seller and Buyer entered into that certain Asset Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which Buyer agreed to purchase the Purchased Assets, including the Assumed Leases, furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and certain other assets, free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances, and interests, and to assume the Assumed Liabilities. The aggregate consideration for the Purchased Assets (excluding the Texas Leases) is $105,000,000 in cash, comprised of a $10,000,000 deposit (inclusive of a $1,000,000 deposit paid prior to the Effective Date) paid into escrow with Kroll and $95,000,000 payable at Closing (plus any Deposit Adjustment, minus any Site Adjustment Amount, plus any Rejection Fees), in each case subject to certain adjustments set forth in the APA, plus $50 for the Texas Leases, in each case in addition to Buyer’s assumption of the Assumed Liabilities. The Debtors heavily negotiated for a fiduciary out provision. After a robust negotiation, the parties agreed to include a fiduciary out, provided that the Buyer receive a termination fee of $3,800,000, plus Buyer's reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), payable to Buyer in the event of a termination of the APA in connection with an Alternative Transaction. The Purchase Price is fair and reasonable. Pursuant to the APA, Buyer agreed to pay an aggregate purchase price of $105,000,000 in cash for the Purchased Assets related to the 51 Sites (comprised of a $10,000,000 deposit paid into escrow and $95,000,000 payable at Closing), subject to certain adjustments, plus $50 for the Texas Leases, in each case in addition to Buyer's assumption of the Assumed Liabilities. The Debtors have provided, or will provide, adequate and reasonable notice of the Motion and the Sale, as set forth in the Notice section below, to the U.S. Trustee, all counterparties to the Assumed Leases, and all other parties entitled to notice under the Bankruptcy Rules and the Local Bankruptcy Rules. The Debtors submit that such notice is good and sufficient and that no further notice is required. The Buyer is a good faith purchaser entitled to the protections of section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code. Neither Buyer nor any of its affiliates is a successor to the Debtors or their estates by reason of any theory of law or equity, and neither Buyer nor any of its affiliates will assume, or be responsible for, any liability or obligation of the Debtors or their estates, except as expressly provided in the APA.

ARCHDIOCESE OF BALTIMORE: Judge Rejects Competing Chapter 11 Plans ------------------------------------------------------------------ Yun Park of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that a Maryland bankruptcy judge has declined to approve competing disclosure statements filed by the Archdiocese of Baltimore and the committee representing abuse survivors in the church's Chapter 11 proceedings. The court ruled that neither statement provides creditors with enough information to evaluate the proposed reorganization plans. The archdiocese and the creditors' committee each advanced separate restructuring proposals aimed at resolving sexual abuse liabilities, but the judge found shortcomings in both disclosure packages. The court indicated that revisions are necessary before creditors can be asked to vote on either plan, the report states. With the disclosure statements rejected, the Chapter 11 process will continue while the parties prepare amended filings. The ruling postpones the confirmation timeline but preserves the opportunity for both sides to submit revised plans that satisfy the Bankruptcy Code's disclosure requirements, according to Law360. About the Archdiocese of Baltimore The Archdiocese of Baltimore operates as a non-profit religious organization. The organization provides catholic charities, chancery, pastoral council, policies, presbyteral council, and child and youth protection.

(AZACS). The outlook is stable. S&P said, "The stable outlook reflects our expectation that during the next year, the school will continue to increase enrollment while maintaining unrestricted reserves and MADS coverage consistent with the rating. "We could lower the rating if the school experiences material enrollment declines, or its financial profile deteriorates, resulting in weaker financial performance, liquidity, and MADS coverage that are no longer commensurate with those of similarly rated peers. "Beyond the outlook period, we could consider a positive rating action if enrollment continues to grow and coverage and liquidity strengthen to levels commensurate with a higher rating."

Articon Hotel Services sought relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. N.D. Ill. Case No. 25-13601) on September 2, 2025. In its petition, the Debtor reported estimated assets between $100,000 and $500,000 and estimated liabilities between $1 million and $10 million. The Debtor is represented by Scott R. Clar, Esq., at Crane, Simon, Clar & Goodman. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: Launches Company-Wide Cost Reduction Plan ------------------------------------------------------------------ Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. said that, on Aug. 1, 2026, its Chief Executive Officer, acting pursuant to authority delegated by its Board of Directors, committed the Company to a company-wide cost reduction plan. Once fully implemented, the Company expects the Plan to reduce its monthly cash expenditures for selling, general, and administrative expenses by approximately $200,000 a month, or approximately $2.4 million on an annualized run-rate basis, measured against the Company's selling, general, and administrative cash expenditures for the fiscal quarter ending May 31, 2026. The Company expects the $200,000/month cash spend reduction to be fully effective by December 2026. The Company stated these actions move the Company closer to its objective of positive monthly cash flow from operations by December 31, 2026. Total operating expenses in the Company's first quarter ending May 31, 2026, were $3,893,188, down 12% from $4,412,170 in the first quarter of the prior year. These numbers are determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and were either fully audited or auditor reviewed. Investors should note that on Jan. 15, 2026, the Company stated that management was working toward achieving positive operational cash flow around the May 2026 timeframe. That objective was not achieved, and the objective stated in this release supersedes it. Management's plan assumes continued modest growth in recurring revenue from the Company's established stationary solutions and does not assume accelerating revenue from ROAMEO(TM) or SARA(TM). Continued growth from those platforms, if achieved, would provide additional benefit as deployments and recurring revenue expand. Actions under the Plan begin immediately and are expected to be substantially complete by Dec. 31, 2026. The Plan includes a reduction in force affecting approximately 7 positions, or approximately 5% of the Company's global workforce. Approximately 40% of expected cash spend reduction is attributable to the reduction in force. The balance is expected to come from reductions in expenditures for outside consultants, contractors, professional services, and other third-party costs and from company personnel salary deferment. The Company does not currently expect the Plan to affect customer deployments or service levels. The Company continues to focus on deployment of the existing stationary line of solutions, continues to concentrate on the development, commercialization, and deployment on ROAMEO and SARA, and brings to market the innovations noted in the press release dated July 27, 2026 (AITX Outlines Product Development Roadmap Targeting Six Hardware Releases and Nine Software Initiatives). Management believes these platforms represent the Company's largest market growth opportunities, benefit from a shared technology foundation, and can become meaningful contributors to future growth. As disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2026, SARA has not yet generated material revenue, and commercial deployment of ROAMEO began in May 2026. "Positive cash flow from operations is our most important near-term financial objective, and we are taking action toward it," said Steve Reinharz, CEO, CTO, and founder of AITX. "We did not reach that objective on the timeline we described in January. This release is specific about what the cost reductions are, what they cost us, and what still has to happen on the revenue side to get the rest of the way. Shareholders should measure us by the execution: SG&A coming down, cash flow from operations improving, and the business increasingly funding its own growth." The Company has also expanded its internal use of artificial intelligence across software development, supply chain management, production, marketing, and other functions. Management believes these tools have improved productivity. Anecdotally, the Company reports that productivity in software development, project management, marketing, and other functional areas has significantly increased over the past 12 months using AI programming tools. The Company has not otherwise quantified the effect of these tools on its results of operations. If the Plan is fully implemented and cash flow from operations improves as intended, the Company expects that its need for external financing to fund operating cash requirements will decline. The Company continues to depend on external financing and expects to continue to use those sources while the Plan is implemented. Those sources include a variable-priced equity financing facility with approximately $10 million of remaining availability and loans payable, approximately 96% of which are owed to entities controlled by a single individual. Sales under the equity financing facility dilute existing shareholders, and the number of shares issued increases as the market price of the common stock declines. Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures This release refers to cash expenditures for selling, general, and administrative expenses and to monthly cash flow from operations. These are not financial measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Cash selling and general and administrative expenditures differ from selling, general, and administrative expenses determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in that they exclude non-cash items, including stock-based compensation and amortization, and reflect amounts paid rather than amounts accrued. Monthly cash flow from operations refers to net cash provided by or used in operating activities for a one-month period; the Company reports net cash provided by or used in operating activities on a quarterly and annual basis in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of the forward-looking measures in this release to the most directly comparable measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles without unreasonable efforts, because it cannot reliably estimate for future periods stock-based compensation, changes in working capital, and other reconciling items, which are inherently uncertain and could be significant. About Artificial Intelligence Technology Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions Inc. develops artificial intelligence-based security, automation, and operational workflow systems through its subsidiaries, including Robotic Assistance Devices Inc. The company is based in Detroit, Michigan, and serves industries including enterprise, government, transportation, critical infrastructure, education, and health care. L J Soldinger Associates, LLC, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm since 2019, included an explanatory paragraph in its audit report dated June 8, 2026, attached to the Company's Annual Report for the fiscal year ended Feb. 28, 2026, expressing substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The auditor cited that the Company had negative cash flow from operating activities of approximately $9.3 million, an accumulated deficit of approximately $171.1 million, and negative working capital of approximately $17 million as of and for the year ended Feb. 28, 2026, which raised the doubt of its ability to continue as a going concern. As of May 31, 2026, the Company had $9.08 million in total assets, $64.72 million in total liabilities, $0.47 million in temporary equity, and $56.10 million in total stockholders' deficit. ARTISTIC HOLIDAY: Seeks to Extend Plan Exclusivity to Aug. 7 ------------------------------------------------------------ Artistic Holiday Designs, LLC and Holiday Creations Pro, Inc. asked the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida to extend their exclusivity periods to file a plan of reorganization and obtain acceptance thereof to Aug. 7 and Oct. 6, 2026, respectively. The Debtors, the Committee and all other interested parties have reached an agreement in principle on all material economic and structural terms for a second amended plan. Based upon that agreement in principle, the parties anticipate that confirmation can be achieved without the need for a contested confirmation hearing. The Committee, however, recently identified and submitted several follow-up inquiries and requests for additional documentation from the Debtors. The Debtors are in the process of gathering and providing the requested information. Importantly, the Committee's outstanding inquiries and document requests do not concern the fundamental terms of the parties' agreement in principle and do not affect the material compromises that form the basis of the amended plans. Rather, the Committee seeks to complete its diligence and review process before granting final approval for the filing of the amended plans. The Debtors believe this limited extension will provide sufficient time for the Debtors to respond to the Committee's remaining inquiries and obtain the Committee's final approval of the amended plans. If final Committee approval is not obtained within that two-week period, the Debtors intend to proceed with filing the Amended Plan consistent with the terms already agreed to in principle by the parties, so that the chapter 11 process may continue without further delay.

As of the petition date, the Debtor's rental income and properties are subject to pre-petition liens held by three primary creditors: CM2841 Investors, LLC, Reigo Securitization Sponsor 2021-1, LLC, and the City of Philadelphia. CM2841 holds disputed loan and mortgage claims of approximately $461,000 and $456,000 (executed around April 5, 2024), secured by properties located at 2348 North 29th Street (valued at $150,000) and 2352 North 29th Street (valued at $153,400) in Philadelphia, PA, with total outstanding mortgages near $917,000. Reigo holds an approximate $399,750 mortgage claim (executed around December 27, 2023), secured by property located at 2350 North 29th Street in Philadelphia, PA (valued at $174,000) while the City of Philadelphia claims approximately $21,790 for delinquent real estate taxes and municipal fees accrued since January 22, 2021. The Debtor seeks immediate ex parte and interim authority to use post-petition rental income in accordance with its proposed budget to meet essential operating expenses, maintain property upkeep, attract prospective tenants, and administer the Chapter 11 estate. Without access to cash collateral, the Debtor faces immediate operational failure and irreparable harm. To achieve financial reorganization, the Debtor intends to cram down the secured mortgage values to current fair market rates, seek refinancing, and satisfy creditor claims. To protect lenders against potential diminution in collateral value, the Debtor proposes adequate protection in the form of replacement and roll-over liens on post-petition receivables up to the cramdown value of the properties, alongside proof of active property insurance provided to the U.S. Trustee, Subchapter V Trustee, and secured lenders. The Debtor explicitly disputes the validity and full extent of the pre-petition liens held by CM2841 and Reigo.

ASP UNIFRAX: Moody's Cuts CFR to Ca, Will Withdraw Ratings ---------------------------------------------------------- Moody's Ratings has downgraded ASP Unifrax Holdings, Inc.'s ("ASP Unifrax," dba Alkegen) corporate family rating to Ca from Caa3 and its Probability of Default Rating to D-PD from Caa3-PD. Moody's affirmed the B2 rating on the backed senior secured first out revolving credit facility, reflecting Moody's expectations of a full recovery. Moody's downgraded the ratings on the backed senior secured first lien term loan and senior secured first lien PIK toggle notes to Ca from Caa2. Moody's also downgraded the rating on the backed senior secured second lien PIK toggle notes to C from Ca. The rating outlook remains stable. The downgrades follow the company's commencement of Chapter 11 proceedings pursuant to a restructuring support agreement with the majority of its creditors. Corporate governance is a key driver of this rating action. Following the action, Moody's will withdraw ASP Unifrax's ratings. RATINGS RATIONALE On July 26, 2026, ASP Unifrax (dba Alkegen) announced that it had voluntarily commenced prepackaged Chapter 11 cases in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas to implement the prepackaged restructuring plan described in the previously announced Restructuring Support Agreement (RSA). The transactions contemplated under the RSA will reduce ASP Unifrax's debt by approximately $3.1 billion. The company has secured $315 million in new money debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing that will be used, in part, to repay the $186 million senior secured first out revolving credit facility. The company plans to emerge from Chapter 11 with a $400 million exit term loan and an undrawn $150 million revolving credit facility. The Chapter 11 cases include ASP Unifrax's US based operations and certain international entities, including those based in Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Hong Kong. None of ASP Unifrax's international entities will conduct local insolvency proceedings in their respective jurisdictions. The company expects to move through the process on an expedited basis, subject to customary regulatory approvals. As part of the Chapter 11 process, ASP Unifrax has filed motions intended to ensure normal operations, including paying vendors and suppliers for goods and services, ensuring they are unimpaired in the process. The company also filed motions intended to ensure no impact on customers and employee compensation and benefits programs. All motions have since been approved by the relevent bankruptcy court. Headquartered in Irving, Texas, ASP Unifrax Holdings, Inc. (dba Alkegen) produces heat-resistant ceramic fiber and specialty filtration products, advanced material solutions and specialty glass microfiber materials for a variety of industrial applications. The company has been a portfolio company of Clearlake Capital Group, L.P. since late 2018. It generated revenue of approximately $1.4 billion for the twelve months ended September 30, 2025. A comprehensive review of all credit ratings for the respective issuer(s) was conducted during a rating committee. The principal methodology used in these ratings was Chemicals published in February 2026. The Ca CFR is three notches below the Caa1 scorecard-indicated outcome that was based on results for the twelve month period ended September 30, 2025. The differential reflects ASP Unifrax's bankruptcy filing. AT THE CROSS: Unsecureds to Get 100 Cents on Dollar in Plan ----------------------------------------------------------- At The Cross Oceanside Church Inc. filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of California a Plan of Reorganization dated July 23, 2026. The Debtor operates a comprehensive educational ministry serving students from Kindergarten through 12th grade through Freedom Generation Higher Education. The plan proponent's financial projections show that the debtor will have projected disposable income of $15,000/month. The final plan payment is expected to be paid approximately 12 months after the plan confirmation. Proponent intends the following sequence of events to satisfy both secured lenders. The unimproved property will be sold at fair market value. This will result in the lender on that piece of property being satisfied in full. The proceeds of that transaction will also liquidate in full the real property tax obligations existing on that specific parcel of land as well as pay off all allowed unsecured creditors. The balance of the proceeds will be utilized to pay down a significant amount to the lender on the improved piece of property. That lender will be liquidated in full by a refinance of the improved property, the arrangement for which would be ongoing at the same time as the escrow proceedings on the sale of the unimproved land. Upon the refinance, all creditors will have been satisfied in full. Allowed nonpriority unsecured claims will receive distributions which the proponent of this Plan has valued at 100 cents on the dollar. The Plan also provides for the payment of administrative and priority claims. Class 3 consists of all non-priority unsecured claims. Class 3 Non-priority unsecured creditors to the extent allowed, will be liquidated in full, upon the sale of property. The means for implementing the plan involve the payment of administrative claims and secured creditors in a periodic manner from the operations of the proponent until they are liquidated. Liquidation of Balboa LLC as well as the priority claim of County Tax Collector as well as all allowed nonpriority unsecured creditors will be by sale of the undeveloped parcel of land. A full-text copy of the Plan of Reorganization dated July 23, 2026 is available at https://urlcurt.com/u?l=Ap0qr4 from PacerMonitor.com at no charge. Counsel to the Debtor: Daniel J. Winfree, Esq.

At The Cross Oceanside Church Inc. sought relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. S.D. Cal. Case No. 26-01076) on March 20, 2026. In its petition, the Debtor reports estimated assets between $1,000,000 and $10,000,000 and estimated liabilities between $1,000,000 and $10,000,000. The Debtor is represented by Daniel J. Winfree. ATKORE INC: S&P Places 'BB+' ICR on CreditWatch Positive -------------------------------------------------------- S&P Global Ratings placed its 'BB+' issuer credit rating on Atkore Inc., as well as its 'BB+' issue-level rating on its $400 million 4.25% senior unsecured notes, on CreditWatch with positive implications. The issue-level rating on the $373 million of first-lien term loans will remain unchanged at 'BBB-'. S&P said, "The CreditWatch placement reflects the likelihood that we could raise our ratings on Atkore to match our ratings on Prysmian at transaction close. We expect to resolve the CreditWatch placement when the proposed transaction closes." Atkore Inc. announced it entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Prysmian S.p.A. (BBB-/Positive/--) for approximately $3.8 billion. The CreditWatch placement follows Atkore's announcement it will be acquired by higher-rated Prysmian. S&P said, "We expect a full integration of Atkore within Prysmian's existing operations after the transaction closes. The all-cash transaction values Atkore at approximately $3.8 billion and should close at the end of the 2026 calendar year, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. We expect the transaction will retire 100% of Atkore's existing debt, which includes $400 million of senior unsecured notes and $373 million of first-lien term loans." The CreditWatch placements reflect the likelihood that S&P could raise the ratings to match its ratings on Prysmian at transaction close. S&P said, "We expect to resolve the CreditWatch placement upon completion of the transaction. At that time, we will likely raise our issuer credit rating on Atkore by one notch and equalize all our ratings on Atkore with those of Prysmian."

AVANTGARDE SENIOR: Gets Extension to Access Cash Collateral ----------------------------------------------------------- The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California, San Fernando Valley Division, entered a second interim order authorizing AvantGarde Senior Living and Adelman Tarzana Investments, LLC to use cash collateral. The court authorized the Debtors to continue using cash collateral under their 13-week budgets with a 10% permitted variance, until a termination event occurs such as dismissal or conversion of their bankruptcy cases to Chapter 7, appointment of a trustee, failure to comply with reporting or payment obligations, material defaults, regulatory violations, or other specified breaches. The court granted adequate protection to secured lender PGIM Real Estate Agency Financing, LLC and the Internal Revenue Service through replacement liens, superpriority administrative claims, and preservation of their prepetition lien rights. In addition, the Debtors were authorized to make $6,000 monthly payments to the IRS for August and September. Meanwhile, Adelman has already made a $164,900 payment to PGIM as additional protection. Additional safeguards include insurance coverage and access to business records and premises upon request. The order preserves PGIM's remedies if a termination event occurs, including ending the Debtors' authority to use cash collateral and seeking appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee or conversion of the cases. The next hearing is scheduled for September 24, with objections due by September 23.

BALKAN EXPRESS: Collateral Battle Pushes Back Chapter 11 Docs ------------------------------------------------------------- Vince Sullivan of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that the disagreement over the location of more than 100 trucks and freight trailers prevented Balkan Express LLC from obtaining conditional approval of its Chapter 11 disclosure statement on Monday, August 3, 2026. The bankruptcy court determined that outstanding questions regarding the debtor's pledged assets should be resolved before the disclosure materials are approved. Secured creditors maintained that the uncertainty surrounding the vehicles could affect the treatment of their claims under the proposed reorganization plan. The debtor acknowledged the ongoing discussions and said it is working to provide additional information concerning the fleet and the collateral securing lender claims, the report states. Balkan Express filed for Chapter 11 protection in Texas to restructure its debts and continue operating its trucking business. The court postponed further action on the disclosure statement pending additional negotiations and clarification regarding the disputed trucks and trailers, according to report.

The LOI is non-binding with respect to the proposed business combination, except for certain customary provisions, including exclusivity, confidentiality, and termination provisions. Under certain circumstances described in the LOI, a party may be required to pay a termination fee of $150,000, or, under certain specified circumstances, TYTL may pay up to $500,000. The final economics of the proposed transaction will be reflected in definitive agreements governing the transaction. The final transaction structure, exchange ratio, ownership percentages, and other economic terms will be determined through the negotiation of definitive agreements and are expected to be supported by a fairness opinion and customary valuation analyses. The proposed transaction is intended to combine Beeline's digital mortgage, lending, and title platform with TYTL's blockchain-based real estate tokenization platform. Subject to the negotiation of definitive agreements, the combined company intends to pursue the development and commercialization of products designed to facilitate institutional participation in residential real estate through blockchain-enabled infrastructure while integrating mortgage lending, including Non-QM mortgage products, title, and settlement processes. The parties also intend to continue the development of TYTL's home equity product, which is designed to utilize a Regulation D-compliant security structure together with blockchain technology and recorded real property interests. The LOI contemplates customary exclusivity, confidentiality, and due diligence provisions and reflects the parties' current expectation of an ownership structure of approximately 60% for Beeline stockholders and 40% for TYTL equity holders, subject to adjustment through the negotiation of definitive agreements, valuation analyses, and the results of a fairness opinion. Except for those provisions expressly identified as binding, the LOI is non-binding, and neither party is obligated to consummate the proposed transaction unless and until definitive agreements are executed. Because the principal shareholder and Chief Executive Officer of Beeline is a principal shareholder of TYTL, Beeline created a special committee of its Board of Directors, which is empowered to approve the proposed merger and make all decisions on behalf of Beeline without further Board of Directors approval. The proposed transaction remains subject to, among other things, completion of due diligence, negotiation and execution of definitive agreements, approval by the Beeline Special Committee and TYTL's board of directors, receipt of a fairness opinion by TYTL, applicable regulatory approvals, TYTL stockholder approval, and satisfaction of customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance that definitive agreements will be executed or that the proposed transaction will be completed. Management Commentary "This transaction has the potential to transform Beeline from a traditional mortgage originator into an AI-powered residential equity and finance platform," said Jess Kennedy, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Beeline. "Rather than asking homeowners to borrow against their homes, the proposed combined platform enables qualified homeowners to monetize a portion of their accumulated equity through a simple, technology-driven transaction while creating an entirely new institutional asset class backed by prime U.S. residential real estate." "Our platform was designed to modernize how homeowners access residential equity through automation, blockchain technology, and institutional capital," said Brendan Reilly, Chief Technology Officer of TYTL. "Combining TYTL's digital securities infrastructure with Beeline's national lending and title platform creates a scalable foundation for institutional adoption of tokenized residential real estate." The Company intends to engage an investment bank to assist in monetizing TYTL's existing portfolio of digital real estate assets, advise on valuation matters, and support future strategic capital markets initiatives. About Beeline Holdings Beeline Holdings, Inc. is a technology-driven mortgage and title platform focused on simplifying home financing through digital innovation, artificial intelligence, and automation.

As shared by the Troubled Company Reporter, the Debtor was formed in or about October 2020 by Boris Klein for the purpose of acquiring residential real estate for investment purposes. At the time of purchasing the properties, some properties were leased as rental properties and some were held for investment. As of the Petition Date, the Debtor owned approximately 168 properties, comprised primarily of single-family homes with an additional four condominium units. The properties were either being used for residential leases, in the process of being rented to new lessors for residential leases, or in the process of being sold. The Debtor had 91 active rentals as of the Petition Date, which number has decreased post-petition as the Debtor proceeds with its restructuring operations and preparing properties for sale. During the course of the Debtor's Chapter 11 case, the Debtor worked to sell a number of properties at amounts that it believes are beneficial to the estate. Class 5 is generally comprised of the unsecured claims against the Debtor's estate. As set forth on Exhibit B the total unsecured claims against the estate are at least $2,521,797.40. The amount may increase based on any deficiency owed to Genesis after the sale of the properties securing their respective claims. Class 5 is impaired by the Plan. Each Holder of a General Unsecured Claim shall be entitled to receive its pro rata share of the excess, if any, of the proceeds of sale of the collateral securing the Class 3 and Class 4 Claims after payment of administrative expense claims and such claims in full. Class 6 includes the Interests in Bokqua. Class 6 is impaired by the Plan. The Holder of the Class 6 Interests shall have no rights of governances of the Reorganized Debtor. The Holder of the Class 6 Interests shall be entitled to distribution of any excess, if any, after payment of Allowed Unsecured Claims in full. Pursuant to the Plan, the Debtor shall be empowered to take such action as is necessary to effectuate the terms of the Plan through the Plan Administrator. Mr. Kim shall be appointed as the Plan Administrator on the Effective Date of the Plan and shall be compensated $700 per hour for such services. As the Plan Administrator, r2 advisors will be paid from any and all collected rents on the properties, and shall be entitled to maintain a retainer in the amount of $75,000 which may be applied to all undisputed fees and replenished from rents until such time as the sales of properties is concluded, the Plan Administrator resigns, or the Plan Administrator is replaced. The Debtor's Plan is feasible based upon the Debtor's ability to effectuate the sales of real properties in accordance with the intended sale phases. The Debtor's Plan is contingent on the occurrence of certain events, and will not become effective until: 1) an Order is entered confirming the Debtor's Plan and the Order becomes final; 2) the Confirmation Date has occurred; 3) no request for revocation of the Confirmation Order under Bankruptcy Code section 1144 shall have been made, or if made, remain pending. Under the anticipated sale process, the Debtor, working in conjunction with Atlas, has targeted 33 properties that are ready, or close to ready, to be and can be sold at fair market value without extensive work or cost to make the properties sale ready. With the sale of such properties, either pre- or post confirmation, the Debtor will be able to meet the required pay downs of principal to Genesis. During this time, the Debtor will continue to generate rent from remaining properties that are subject to leases while preparing the remaining properties for sale.

CARVANA CO: S&P Rates New $1BB Senior Secured Term Loan B 'BB' -------------------------------------------------------------- S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'BB' issue-level rating and '2' recovery rating to Carvana Co.'s proposed $1 billion senior secured term loan B due 2033. The '2' recovery rating indicates its expectation for substantial (70%-90%; rounded estimate: 70%) recovery for the senior secured lenders in the event of a payment default. S&P said, "Our 'BB-' issuer credit rating and positive outlook on the company are unchanged. Carvana plans to use the proceeds from the proposed term loan to partially refinance its senior secured notes due 2030. We forecast the company will expand its top-line revenue by well over 20% this year and its absolute profitability will significantly improve. However, we continue to expect the company's EBITDA margins will contract due to a moderation in its gross profit per unit as it invests in its expansion. We also expect Carvana will partially offset this with in a reduction in its selling, general, and administrative expense per unit. We could upgrade Carvana if it continues increasing its top line and EBITDA while maintaining leverage of less than 3x and free operating cash flow to debt of more than 15%." ISSUE RATINGS--RECOVERY ANALYSIS Key analytical factors -- S&P's hypothetical default scenario assumes Carvana's margins deteriorate due to operational challenges, which leads it to burn cash and deplete its liquidity. -- S&P uses a combined discrete asset value (DAV) and enterprise value (EV) EBITDA multiple approach to value the company. S&P uses the EBITDA multiple approach for Carvana's operating business and the DAV approach for its vehicle inventory, which it finances with floorplan financing. Simulated default assumptions -- Year of default: 2030 -- EBITDA multiple: 6x -- EBITDA at emergence: $648.1 million -- Jurisdiction: U.S. -- Administrative claims: 5% of EV All debt includes six months of accrued interest Simplified waterfall -- Gross EV: $6.05 billion ($3.89 billion EV multiple/$2.16 billion DAV) -- Net recovery value for waterfall after 5% administrative expenses: $5.74 billion -- Priority claims: $2.42 billion -- Total collateral value available to secured debt: $3.32 billion -- Estimated secured debt claims: $4.55 billion --Recovery expectations: 70%-90% (rounded estimate: 70%) -- Total collateral available to senior unsecured claims: $0 -- Total unsecured claims: $3.34 billion --Recovery expectations: 0%-10% (rounded estimate: 0%) CASA ARIZONA: Seeks to Hire My Home Group Real Estate as Broker --------------------------------------------------------------- Casa Arizona Investments LLC filed a supplemental application seeking approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona to employ Brady Gora of My Home Group Real Estate, LLC as real estate agent.

CBCG ENTERPRISES: Unsecureds to Recover 28.84% over 5 Years ----------------------------------------------------------- CBCG Enterprises, Inc., doing business as A Racer's Edge, filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado a Small Business Plan of Reorganization under Subchapter V dated July 23, 2026. CBCG Enterprises, Inc. operates a full-service ski store in downtown Breckenridge, Colorado, offering custom ski boot fittings, ski tuning, and the sale of skis, bindings, poles, and ski accessories. The business leases approximately 2,779 square feet of retail space at 114 Lincoln Avenue, Units 1, 2, and 3, Breckenridge, Colorado. The company experienced financial difficulties following the COVID-19 pandemic as ski resort visits to Breckenridge and nearby areas declined each year, reducing customer traffic. Because the business is primarily seasonal, operating mainly from November through April, it was particularly affected by lower winter tourism. Although Mr. Ginsburg contributed more than $300,000 of his own funds to support the business, the company continued to experience negative cash flow. To meet operating expenses and debt obligations, it obtained several loans and later relied on merchant cash advance financing. The ongoing cash flow problems resulted in additional debts, including unpaid Colorado sales taxes and wage withholding taxes. After the company defaulted on a payment plan, the State of Colorado issued a distraint warrant, seized the business premises, and took possession of the company's furniture, fixtures, equipment, and inventory. The company subsequently filed for bankruptcy to regain possession of its business and assets while restructuring its debts. The Debtor states that the plan is feasible based on its financial projections, which anticipate sufficient future revenue to cover operating expenses and make plan payments. The projections are described as conservative, although actual income is expected to vary based on sales and changes in the marketplace. Treatment of Claims Class 11 General Unsecured Claims: * Includes allowed general unsecured claims, unsecured portions of secured claims, and certain subordinated penalty claims. * The Debtor estimates total unsecured claims, including estimated deficiency claims, at $439,600.90, although this amount may increase. * Class 11 is impaired. * Creditors will receive annual pro rata distributions funded by approximately 50% of the Debtor's monthly net income deposited into a creditor fund over a five-year repayment term, beginning with the first full month after the Effective Date. * The first distribution will be made on the first anniversary of the Effective Date, with additional annual distributions throughout the repayment period. * Based on current estimates, Class 11 creditors are expected to recover approximately 28.84% of their allowed claims, but not more than the full amount of those claims. Class 12 Insider Unsecured Claims: * Consists of pre-petition amounts owed to Mr. Ginsburg and Ms. Temby, to the extent allowed. * Class 12 is impaired. * These claimants will receive no payments unless and until all senior classes are paid in full. Class 13 Membership Interests: * Consists of the membership interests held by Mr. Ginsburg. * Class 13 is not impaired. * Mr. Ginsburg will retain his membership interests as they existed on the petition date. * The Debtor will amend its corporate governing documents and take any necessary corporate actions to implement the plan.

CBCG Enterprises, Inc. filed its voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. D. Col.

CHPPR MIDCO: S&P Affirms 'B' ICR on Improved Business Risk ---------------------------------------------------------- S&P Global Ratings affirmed its 'B' issuer credit rating on CHPPR Midco Inc. (dba Air Methods). At the same time, S&P withdrew its issue-level rating of 'B' and recovery rating of '3' on company's senior secured term loan given its repayment. The stable outlook reflects S&P's expectation that CHPPR will increase patient transport revenue by mid- to high-single-digit percent in 2026 and beyond, supported by improved net revenue per transport (NRPT) and volume growth from greenfield base completions, while sustaining S&P Global Ratings-adjusted FOCF to debt above 5%. Air Methods continues to perform well due to stable reimbursement and volume expansion. S&P expects the company will generate reported free operating cash flow (FOCF) to debt of about 22% and maintain leverage of under 3x in 2026 and onwards. S&P believes its competitive position has strengthened given its larger operating footprint, improving transport volumes, stronger reimbursement trends, and sustained profitability. Further, the company recently repaid its $249 million senior secured term loan, reducing expected S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage to approximately 1.0x in 2026. S&P said, "We believe CHPPR's business risk profile has strengthened due to its increasing scale, broader geographic reach, and improving operating profile. Over the past few years, CHPPR has expanded its operating footprint to approximately 279 bases across 49 states. Furthermore, we expect management to continue to invest in greenfield expansions, improving patient transport volumes, aircraft utilization, and market position. In our view, these investments provide a stronger foundation for revenue stability and lower the company's dependence on individual markets." During 2025, the company also benefited from approximately 20% growth in net revenue per transport, reflecting favorable reimbursement dynamics and stronger collections. Overall, the company's business model has become more resilient. CHPPR is exposed to concentration, regulatory, and other risks. The company remains primarily concentrated in air medical transportation services, unlike larger, more diversified competitors such as GMR Solutions Inc., which accounted for more than 90% of revenue during 2025. S&P also expects the company will continue to face regulatory uncertainty since government payers account for over 35% of 2025 patient transport revenue. Furthermore, the company remains exposed to reimbursement uncertainty, adverse weather conditions, aviation-related operating risks, and litigation exposure. CHPPR can sustain revenue growth and stronger profitability over the next several years with support from favorable reimbursement trends, increasing patient transport volumes, and improving operating efficiency. Revenue grew approximately 13% year over year in the last 12 months ended March 2026, primarily driven by a 16.8% increase in patient transport revenue. S&P said, "We expect the company to continue to benefit from annual contractual pricing increases, improved reimbursement rates, favorable outcomes from independent dispute resolution (IDR) proceedings, and stronger claims yields from out-of-network commercial insurers. We also anticipate that completed investments in greenfield bases from the past two years increase transport volumes as these operations mature. As a result, we expect revenue to grow 6%-8% during both 2026 and 2027." Furthermore, S&P Global Ratings-adjusted EBITDA margin stood at around 25.4% in the 12 months ended first quarter of 2026. Although higher labor expenses, elevated fuel costs, increased technology spending, and certain one-time expenses will likely pressure margins in the near term, S&P believes stronger aircraft utilization, lower maintenance expenses, and continued improvements in operational efficiency will partially offset costs. The company's transition toward a newer fleet should further improve aircraft availability and reduce maintenance costs. In addition, management's focus on reducing controllable misses, improving staffing efficiency, and increasing connectivity among operating bases should continue to support operating performance. S&P therefore expects S&P Global Ratings-adjusted EBITDA margins to remain near 25%-26% in 2026, improving to 26%-27% during 2027. S&P said, "We expect CHPPR to maintain strong cash flow generation while investing heavily and expanding. We estimate that cash generated from operations will remain robust and reach over $300 million by the end of 2026. We also expect capital expenditure (capex) to remain elevated as management continues investing in aircraft acquisitions, technology infrastructure, fleet modernization initiatives, and greenfield expansion opportunities. In our view, these investments should strengthen CHPPR's long-term competitive position by improving fleet reliability, enhancing aircraft utilization, and increasing the density of the company's operating network. We also expect advanced analytical tools to improve dispatch efficiency, optimize staffing levels, and identify attractive opportunities for future expansion. Elevated capex and debt repayment will likely reduce reported FOCF to approximately $83 million in 2026 and $167 million in 2027." Management's willingness to pursue larger debt-funded transactions could increase leverage over the medium term. S&P said, "We expect leverage to remain 1.0x-1.2x during 2026 before increasing to approximately 2.8x in 2027 due to anticipated shareholder-friendly actions funded with debt. We also believe management could pursue opportunistic acquisitions to strengthen its fleet, expand its geographic footprint, and accelerate growth in attractive markets." Furthermore, the company's accounts receivable facility matures in November 2027, which could create refinancing risk if market conditions deteriorate. S&P said, "The stable outlook reflects our expectation that CHPPR will increase its patient transport revenue by mid- to high-single-digit percent in 2026 and thereafter due to a sustained improvement in its NRPT and increased volume following the completion of its greenfield bases. The stable outlook also reflects our view that CHPPR will continue to generate FOCF to debt of more than 5% annually. "We could lower the rating on CHPPR in the next 12 months if S&P Global Ratings-adjusted FOCF to debt drops below 5% or leverage climbs above 5x on a sustained basis." This could occur if: -- It faces accelerated wage inflation and other elevated operating costs, including delays in the ramp-up of its greenfield bases, eroding its profitability; -- A rise in weather-related cancellations increases uncontrollable misses; -- Higher-than-expected tariffs last longer than expected, increasing the cost of aircraft or parts from Canada; or -- The company pursues shareholder-friendly activities that increase leverage. Although unlikely, S&P could revise its outlook on CHPPR to positive in the next 12 months if: -- The company sustains S&P Global Ratings-adjusted FOCF to debt well above 10%; and -- S&P believes it has sufficiently reduced the volatility in its operations and there is more visibility around financial policy.

COGECO COMMUNICATIONS USA: S&P Affirms 'BB' ICR, Outlook Stable --------------------------------------------------------------- S&P Global Ratings affirmed all its ratings on U.S. cable operator Cogeco Communications (USA) Inc.'s (dba Breezeline), including its 'BB' issuer credit rating, because S&P expects its leverage will remain in the low-4x area through 2027. S&P said, "In addition, we revised our view of parent support to incorporate only up to one notch of uplift to our stand-alone credit profile (SACP) of 'bb-'. Given declining earnings, Breezeline represents a smaller portion of its parent, Cogeco Communications Inc." The stable outlook reflects S&P Global Ratings-adjusted net leverage of low 4x due to modest earnings declines through 2027. Intensifying competition from FTTH and FWA providers will continue to pressure subscriber metrics through 2027. S&P said, "We believe residential broadband penetration will decline to about 32% in 2027, down from about 34.4% in 2025, as FTTH competitors such as Frontier, Verizon, and AT&T take market share because they offer very fast data speeds. We believe the company's competitive overlap with FTTH and hybrid fiber coaxial cable overbuilders has increased to about 60% from roughly 20% in 2021." Greater competition from other broadband providers is pressuring both broadband average revenue per user (ARPU) and subscriber growth. In addition, wireless carriers are offering in-home broadband with FWA, which has limited Breezeline's ability to take share from digital subscriber line (DSL) providers because many of these consumers are opting to switch to cheaper FWA service instead of converting to cable. FWA will weigh on cable subscriber additions over the near term. S&P said, "We expect growing adoption of lower-priced FWA could make it more challenging for Breezeline to add customers, especially at the lower end of the market. We believe FWA will continue to take share over the coming years. In addition, the company's residential broadband ARPU is one of the industry's highest, representing a material risk. We believe the company's FWA competitors now offer their services in most of its markets at lower prices, typically about $50 per month or $35 if bundled with a mobile service. While the introduction of the lower-priced Welo brand aims to support subscriber additions, we believe this strategy carries some risk of repricing its existing customer base, which could further pressure ARPU and broadband revenue." S&P said, "We believe Breezeline can reduce its leverage by 2027 on lower capital investment. We believe deleveraging could improve to 4.1x in 2027 from about 4.3x for the 12 months ended May 31, 2026, as capital expenditure (capex) drops to $140 million-$160 million from $203 million in 2025, leading to annual FOCF of $130 million-$150 million. Still, reduced capital investment could hurt the company's competitive position longer-term. In 2028 and beyond, we believe the deleveraging could modestly improve if the company can minimize its residential broadband revenue declines, which has driven negative earnings growth and limited deleveraging. "We treat La Caisse's equity stake in the company as a debt-like obligation, which adds about 0.2x to our leverage calculations, revised downward from 0.6x-0.7x. This follows a non-cash impairment charge of about $1.2 billion against goodwill and intangible assets tied to Breezeline that was announced in June 2026. "We now view Breezeline as less important to its parent. We reassessed it as moderately strategic to Canadian parent Cogeco Communications Inc., which limits potential rating uplift to one notch above the 'bb-' stand-alone credit profile versus up to three notches previously from the previous assessment of strategically important." This shift reflects Breezeline's declining contribution to the parent's consolidated EBITDA, which fell to about 45% from about 49% two years ago. S&P believes Breezeline's earnings contribution could continue to decline over the next couple of years on limited EBITDA growth and the potential for small divestitures. In addition, Cogeco and Breezeline operate in different jurisdictions and without cross default provisions, reducing direct financial incentives for parent support. Still, Breezeline would likely receive some degree of support from the parent if it faced financial difficulty given its contribution to the parent's overall earnings and cash flow. In addition, there are areas where the companies have integrated and consolidated services such as executive management, procurement, and information technology. The stable outlook reflects S&P Global Ratings-adjusted net leverage of low-4x as earnings decline modestly through 2027. S&P could lower its rating on Breezeline if leverage sustains above 4.5x, which would likely stem from weaker-than-expected operating performance or a debt-financed acquisition. S&P could raise its rating on Breezeline if: -- It reduces its leverage comfortably below 3.5x by limiting residential broadband revenue declines; -- S&P expects management will not pursue a debt-financed acquisition that would push leverage above 3.5x.; and -- FOCF to debt remains above 5%. COGECO COMMUNICATIONS: S&P Affirms 'BB+' ICR, Outlook Stable ------------------------------------------------------------ S&P Global Ratings affirmed all ratings on Quebec-based regional cable operator Cogeco Communications Inc.'s (Cogeco), including the 'BB+' issuer credit rating. The stable outlook reflects S&P's belief that going forward Cogeco will conservatively manage its capital allocation and use its free operating cash flow (FOCF) to strengthen its balance sheet. Cogeco's EBITDA continues to decline reflecting underperformance at its U.S. subsidiary which S&P believes will pressure operating metrics and limit leverage improvement. S&P tightened the downside leverage threshold to 3.25x to reflect the competitive intensity in the U.S. broadband industry and mature Canadian market. S&P expects Cogeco will maintain a financial policy consistent with keeping leverage appropriate for the rating. The revised threshold reflects continued headwinds facing its U.S. subsidiary (Breezeline). Accounting for about 45% of consolidated EBITDA, Breezeline is in a challenging market against both fixed wireless access (FWA) and faster fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) providers. This limits subscriber growth and pricing power for cable operators. FWA is gaining market share due to its lower-cost model, while FTTH providers offer superior network performance. S&P expects FWA to capture approximately 16% of the U.S. broadband market by 2028, up from about 11% at the beginning of 2026. As fiber coverage expands, these networks could overlap nearly 75% of the cable footprint by 2028. Thus, U.S. cable players either lose subscribers to wider FWA adoption by value-seeking customers or must offer compelling bundles (either video or wireless) against FTTH providers. S&P said, "For Breezeline, we believe residential broadband penetration will decline to about 32% in 2027, down from about 34.1% in 2025. Reflecting the competitive US market, Cogeco took an impairment charge of about C$1.8 billion (net of deferred income taxes) on its U.S. telecommunication business. In the last four quarters, Breezeline lost 2%-3% of broadband subscribers while repricing customer base lower, which combined with subscriber losses on its legacy business have impacted revenue and EBITDA almost 10% on a last-12-months basis. Despite Cogeco's wireless offerings, we forecast similar headwinds in the next 12 months, which will pressure Cogeco's consolidated EBITDA. As a result, we expect leverage to remain close to 3.5x in fiscal 2027 and improve marginally in fiscal 2028." Cogeco's Canadian operations will not offset the U.S. segment decline. The Canadian subsidiary Cogeco Connexion has been relatively stable, increasing internet service subscribers in 2024-now in the 4%-5% range. S&P said, "Nonetheless, we believe stiff competition in the mature market, slowing population increases and household construction, and value-seeking consumers will limit Cogeco Connexion's earnings growth over the near term. We forecast modest growth in internet subscribers in its Canadian operations and stable revenue per user while reducing churn through its MVNO offerings. In our view, expansion opportunities in Canada are usually limited to continued expansion in rural markets (with support from government subsidies) and adding customers on the Oxio platform. We forecast 2026 EBITDA will remain stable from broadband improvement and investments in the three-year transformation program, offset by a secular decline in video and telephony segments." Credit metrics will hold steady for the next 24 months. S&P said, "We expect consolidated revenue to decline by low- to mid-single-digit percentages through 2027 and adjusted EBITDA to decline by low- to mid-single digits. Cogeco Connexion will continue FTTH internet network expansion projects in Ontario and Breezeline will pursue infill opportunities in the U.S. Therefore, we anticipate capital expenditure (capex) will remain C$560 million-C$600 million in fiscal 2026, with consolidated capital intensity close to 20.5%, similar to fiscal 2025 performance. We expect stable to slightly growing free operating cash flow (FOCF) and no share buybacks in 2026, and 2027 metrics to be unchanged." S&P said, "Our debt calculations include La Caisse's 21% equity stake in the company, which we treat as a debt-like obligation. We also incorporate parent Cogeco Inc.'s debt and EBITDA in our leverage calculations. We expect leverage to decline and reach S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage of about 3.2x by fiscal 2026 (equivalent of management's 3.0x leverage target). "We expect Cogeco to maintain a prudent financial policy. We expect Cogeco's leverage to modestly improve to 3.1x in fiscal 2027. Management has stated that it might consider bringing leverage below 3x in fiscal 2027. We expect the company to focus on prudent capital allocation, with any acquisitions to be tuck-ins. We estimate discretionary cash flow (after dividends) above C$300 million for the next 12 months and that Cogeco could improve S&P Global Ratings-adjusted debt to EBITDA in 2027. "The stable outlook reflects our expectations that Cogeco will maintain S&P adjusted leverage below 3.25x for the next 12-18 months even though we EBITDA will show modest decline as weakness in top-line revenue is partially offset by savings from its transformational program. However, we expect company will use FOCF to reduce balance sheet debt." S&P could lower its rating on Cogeco over the next 12 months if it: -- Expect S&P Global Ratings-adjusted debt to EBITDA to deteriorate above 3.25x due to weakness at its operations amid increased competition; or -- Assess the consolidated business risk profile to be weaker, mostly from lackluster performance at its U.S. subsidiary that isn't sufficiently offset by its Canadian operations. Although unlikely in the near term, S&P could raise its ratings on Cogeco if the company: -- Executes its network expansion plans and strategic transformational initiatives such that revenues and S&P Global Ratings-adjusted EBITDA improves on a sustained basis; and -- The company adopts more moderate financial policies such that it continues to deleverage.

CONSIGNMENT CRUSH: Unsecureds to Get $1,300 per Month for 5 Years ----------------------------------------------------------------- Consignment Crush LLC filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas a Plan of Reorganization dated July 23, 2026. Consignment Crush LLC operates a consignment and estate-sale business in Collin County, Texas, doing business as Consignment Crush and Crush Estate Sales. The company sells consigned furniture, artwork, and household goods on behalf of individual consignors. The company filed for bankruptcy primarily because of: * A lack of cash flow. * Disputes with certain merchant cash advance creditors. * Disputes with its commercial landlord. The reorganization plan is intended to restructure the Debtor's financial obligations while allowing the business to continue operating. The plan provides for distributions to creditors over a five-year period using income generated from the Debtor's ongoing business operations. Treatment of Claims * Class 3 Non-Priority Unsecured Claims: -- Allowed unsecured claims will be paid from an unsecured creditor pool funded with $1,300 per month, beginning in the first full month after the Effective Date. -- Payments to unsecured creditors will be made quarterly for up to five years, with a maximum of 20 quarterly payments. -- The first quarterly payment will be due on the 20th day of the first complete post-petition quarter. -- The Debtor estimates that the total amount of allowed Class 3 claims is less than $1,020,000, based on its review of the court's claims register, bankruptcy schedules, anticipated deficiency claims, and expected claim objections. Plan Implementation * The Debtor proposes to implement the plan through the provisions of §§ 1123 and 1145(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. * Beginning on the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor will perform all obligations under executory contracts and unexpired leases that are assumed under the plan and the Confirmation Order.

Perez of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas conditionally approved the Disclosure Statement for the Chapter 11 Plan of CRYO-1, Inc. The Disclosure Statement is conditionally approved as containing adequate information in accordance with section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code and is subject to final approval of the Court at the Combined Hearing. The Debtor's request for a Combined Hearing on the final approval of the Disclosure Statement and confirmation of the Plan, and the following Confirmation Schedule, are approved: * August 15, 2026 at 5:30 PM is fixed as the last day for filing written acceptances or rejections of the plan. * August 19, 2026 at 1:00 pm is fixed for the hearing on final approval of the disclosure statement (if a written objection has been timely filed) and for the hearing on confirmation of the plan. * August 15, 2026 at 5:30 PM is fixed as the last day for filing and serving written objections to the disclosure statement and confirmation of the plan. As shared by the Troubled Company Reporter, the Plan is based on the future income generated by CRYO-1, Inc. and collection of its rents (the "receivables"), as well as the income generated by the leasing of the office space located on the second floor of the building in which operations are being conducted. The Debtor has started taking bids from contractors to develop the unused second floor and turn it into office space which will be leased out to third parties. CRYO-1, Inc. has been able to operate profitably since filing for relief under Chapter 11 on November 28, 2025. Since to the Petition Date, the Debtor has reduced its monthly expenses which has had a positive impact on its profitability and has entered into a new contract with the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences for the development and contracting of new tissue donors. This new agreement is generating a minimum of two new donors per months which translates into approximately $18,000.00 per month in income. Class 3 consists of General Unsecured Claims. CRYO-1, Inc. will pay 100% percent of the unsecured creditors in Class 3 claims over five years without interest. Payments in the combined amount of $176.40 will be made beginning on the 1st day of the first full month following the Effective Date with like payments to be on the 1st day of each succeeding month thereafter. All payments will be shared pro rata amongst the Class 3 creditors. This Class is Impaired. The allowed unsecured claims total $10,583.80. The Plan is based on the future earnings of CRYO-1, Inc. as well as the expected rental income from the office space that is being developed in the building's second floor, which the Debtor believes will be sufficient to fund the expected monthly outlays.

CUMULUS MEDIA: Plan Exclusivity Period Extended to Oct. 30 ---------------------------------------------------------- Judge Alfredo R. Perez of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas extended Cumulus Media Inc. and its Debtor Affiliates' exclusive periods to file a plan of reorganization and obtain acceptance thereof to Oct. 30 and Dec. 29, 2026, respectively. As shared by Troubled Company Reporter, the Debtors explain that the scale and complexity of their businesses and corporate structure require the Debtors to navigate complex issues in their reorganization efforts. The Debtors dedicated substantial time and resources, both before and after the Petition Date, to negotiating and implementing a fully consensual restructuring, including entering into the Restructuring Support Agreement, confirming the Plan, and satisfying the conditions precedent to the Effective Date. Since the Petition Date, the Debtors have worked constructively with all parties in interest by, among other things, providing due diligence to ensure that all their creditor constituencies were fully informed for purposes of engaging in plan discussions, and have consistently attempted in good faith to build consensus among all parties in interest. The Debtors assert that they seek to maintain exclusivity so parties with competing interests do not impede the Debtors' efforts to effectuate a value-maximizing restructuring. Extending exclusivity benefits all parties in interest by preventing the drain on time and the resources of the Debtors' estates that will occur when multiple parties, with potentially diverging interests, pursue the consideration of their own respective plans. The Debtors further assert that all stakeholders in these chapter 11 cases benefit from continued stability and predictability that a centralized process provides, which can only occur while the Debtors remain the sole plan proponents. Additionally, even if the Court approves an extension of the Exclusive Periods, nothing prevents parties in interest from later arguing to the Court that cause supports termination of the Debtors' exclusivity, should such cause arise.

Lead Case No. 26-90346) on March 5, 2026, with $1,078,217,000 in assets as of Sept. 30, 2025, and $1,135,135,000 in debts as of Sept. 30, 2025. Richard Denning, executive vice president, secretary & general counsel, signed the petition. Judge Alfredo R. Perez presides over the case.

CUSTOMBILT FIREARMS: Seeks Continued Cash Collateral Access ----------------------------------------------------------- Custombilt Firearms Manufacturing, LLC asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Kansas, at Kansas City, for modification of its existing cash collateral order and approval of an amended wind-down budget through December 31. After determining that business reorganization was no longer feasible, the Debtor ceased retail operations on July 19 and closed its range on July 25. Consequently, its operational needs have shifted from retail functioning to an orderly asset liquidation and wind-down. Because the original 13-week operating budget no longer reflects actual expenses, the Debtor seeks authorization to use cash collateral under a new wind-down budget, subject to a 10% line-item and aggregate permitted variance, while ratifying its cash collateral use during the interim gap period following the expiration of the initial budget. The proposed wind-down budget projects total cash receipts of approximately $120,000 from August 1 through December 31, generated primarily through net proceeds from three scheduled, absolute auctions selling equipment, firearms inventory, and remaining assets. Total projected disbursements over this period equal $59,506, covering necessary wind-down costs such as intercompany rent, insurance, utilities, alarm security, IT/telecom cancellations, contract labor, bank fees, and July sales tax obligations. This generates an expected net cash flow of $60,494 and an ending cash balance of $82,294. Although the budget accounts for potential auction advertising and preparation labor expenses, these items will be advanced and deducted directly by the auctioneer from gross sales proceeds unless direct payment by the debtor becomes necessary. Under the proposed terms, secured creditor Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. will retain its replacement liens and adequate protection rights, which will continue into the wind-down period and attach to asset sale proceeds to the extent of any collateral value diminution. However, the Debtor requests approval of a senior, primary carveout of up to $125,000 across this case and the affiliated bankruptcy of 6201 Robinson Street LLC. This carveout prioritizes the payment of allowed court-approved professional fees, Subchapter V Trustee compensation, and statutory U.S. Trustee fees over Wells Fargo's liens and claims. In exchange for the carveout, the Debtor offers a conditional waiver of its rights to surcharge collateral under Section 506(c), which becomes effective only upon full, indefeasible funding of the carve-out reserve. The court scheduled a hearing for August 13 and set an August 10 deadline for filing objections. A copy of the motion is available at https://urlcurt.com/u?l=vrLX1s from PacerMonitor.com. About Custombilt Firearms Manufacturing LLC Custombilt Firearms Manufacturing, LLC is a firearms manufacturing and retail business. Custombilt sought protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. D. Kan. Case No. 26-20160) on February 6, 2026, listing up to $500,000 in assets and up to $10 million in liabilities. James Anderson, president of Custombilt, signed the petition. Judge Dale L. Somers oversees the case. Ryan M. Graham, Esq., at WM Law, PC, represents the Debtor as bankruptcy counsel. CYTOPHIL INC: Unsecureds to Recover Between 83% to 94% in Plan -------------------------------------------------------------- Cytophil, Inc. submitted a Disclosure Statement describing Plan of Reorganization dated July 24, 2026. Cytophil, Inc. is a Delaware corporation headquartered and operating in East Troy, Wisconsin. Founded in 2005 by Dr. William "Bill" Hubbard, the company experienced financial difficulties beginning with supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. These problems were worsened by two lawsuits: an intellectual property case that resulted in over $1 million in attorney's fees and a dispute with Health Policy Associates (HPA) over regulatory consulting invoices. In 2023, HPA obtained a judgment against the Debtor for $583,823.94 after the Debtor could no longer afford to continue the litigation. HPA then began collection efforts in Wisconsin. Unable to pay the judgment and other creditors, the Debtor filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on February 5, 2025, with the goal of preserving the business and repaying creditors through a reorganization plan. During the bankruptcy case, Health Policy Associates objected to Claim No. 10 filed by Jansson Munger McKinley & Kirby, Ltd., seeking to reduce the claim from $1,327,902 to $203,633. After an evidentiary hearing and briefing, the Court issued a decision on June 12, 2026, overruling the objection and allowing the claim in the full amount of $1,327,902.28. The Debtor previously had a distribution agreement with InHealth Technologies from 2018 through mid-2024 and entered into a distribution arrangement with AmplioVox, LLC in October 2024. The Debtor and InHealth have since agreed to a new five-year exclusive distribution agreement for the Renu(R) platform in the United States and Canada, contingent upon confirmation of the reorganization plan. The agreement increases the transfer price for Renu(R) Voice and Renu(R) Gel by approximately 25% per unit. The plan classifies unsecured creditors into two classes: * Class 1: Consists of allowed unsecured claims without priority. After opt-in elections and claim resolutions, total Class 1 claims are estimated to range from $3,737,391 to $4,199,040. Class 1 creditors will share $3,500,000, distributed pro rata over five annual payments.

The agreement also provides for repayment in full of amounts outstanding under the DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan using proceeds from the transaction.

ELETSON HOLDINGS: Suit vs. Reed Smith, Ex-Owners to Proceed ----------------------------------------------------------- Emlyn Cameron of Law360 reports that a New York bankruptcy court has denied motions to dismiss claims filed by reorganized Eletson Holdings Inc. against its former shareholders and Reed Smith LLP, allowing the shipping company's lawsuit to proceed. The court found that the complaint contained sufficient allegations to move beyond the pleading stage. Eletson alleges that its former owners and the law firm engaged in conduct that damaged the company before its Chapter 11 restructuring. The defendants argued that the claims lacked legal merit, but the court concluded that dismissal would be inappropriate at this point in the litigation, the report relays. With the motions denied, the reorganized company may continue seeking relief against the defendants as the case advances. The ruling preserves the estate's potential claims while leaving the factual and legal disputes to be resolved in future proceedings, according to Law360.

ELITA 7 LLC: Amends Several Secured Claims Pay ---------------------------------------------- Elita 7 LLC and Victoria Light LLC submitted a Disclosure Statement with regard to Second Amended Plan of Liquidation dated July 24, 2026. Elita 7 LLC and Victoria Light LLC operated the Donna Kay Rest Home at 16 Myrtle Street in Worcester, Massachusetts since 2008. Their Chapter 11 bankruptcy plan is a liquidating plan that distributes funds from negotiated carve-outs following the sale of the rest home and its real property. The property was sold on April 17, 2026, but the sale proceeds were not enough to fully repay the primary secured lender, DMT SPE IV. As a result, creditor payments will come from two negotiated carve-outs: * Professional Fee Carve-Out used to pay costs associated with the sale. * Estate Carve-Out – $65,000 (1% of the sale price) designated to pay: -- Administrative expense claims, -- Priority tax claims, -- Other priority claims (if any), and -- General unsecured claims. The Debtors estimate that, after payment of administrative and priority claims, general unsecured creditors (Class 7) will receive only a small dividend from the remaining Estate Carve-Out funds. Distributions will be made by Disbursing Agent John O. Desmond as soon as practical after the plan's effective date. Under the sale order: * $267,000 was placed in escrow. * $70,000 was paid to debtor's counsel for approved legal fees. * $52,000 was paid for U.S. Trustee quarterly fees. * The remaining $145,000 is reserved for: -- Ombudsman and counsel fees ($30,000), -- Expense reimbursement for the stalking horse bidder ($50,000), -- Estate Carve-Out ($65,000). Treatment of Claims Class 2 Secured Lender. Received the net sale proceeds and is treated as satisfied as a secured creditor. Any unpaid balance (the lender deficiency claim) is not paid under the plan. Lender Deficiency Claim: Will receive no distribution, preventing it from reducing recoveries for general unsecured creditors. Classes 4, 5, and 6 consists of Merchant Cash Advance Claims (DLP Funding, EN OD Capital, and Arin Funding): * These claims are reclassified as Class 7 general unsecured claims. * Their liens are released on the effective date, and the confirmation order will authorize the release of related UCC financing statements. Class 7 General Unsecured Claims. Includes the reclassified merchant cash advance claims. Holders will receive: * A pro rata share of the Estate Carve-Out after higher-priority claims are paid, and * A pro rata share of any additional estate funds that remain. The plan will be funded by: * The $65,000 Estate Carve-Out, and * Any remaining estate funds from operations of the property before the sale or other available sources. Overall, because the sale proceeds were insufficient to fully satisfy the secured lender, the bankruptcy plan relies on negotiated carve-outs to provide limited distributions to creditors, with general unsecured creditors expected to receive only a modest recovery.

The court issued a fifth interim order authorizing the Debtors to use cash collateral through August 27 to pay expenses in accordance with an approved budget, subject to a 10% variance. As adequate protection for any collateral diminution, secured creditors including Connect One Bank, the U.S. Small Business Administration and merchant cash advance lenders will receive replacement liens on post-petition property, matching the validity and priority of their pre-petition liens. The liens are automatically perfected, exclude avoidance action proceeds, and are subordinate to the fee carveout.

FIRST BRANDS: Evolution's Appeal on Summary Judgment Order Tossed ----------------------------------------------------------------- Senior Judge Lee H. Rosenthal of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas dismissed the appeal styled EVOLUTION CREDIT PARTNERS, et al., Appellant, v. FIRST BRANDS GROUP, LLC, et al., Appellees, CIVIL ACTION NO. H-26-4705 (S.D. Tex.) for a lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. Evolution Credit Partners and its related entities appeal a Bankruptcy Court order denying their motion for summary judgment in an adversary proceeding that they initiated to determine whether they have a first-priority security interest on approximately $60.5 million worth of First Brands's receivables. The Bankruptcy Court held that Evolution does not have a perfected security interest in the non-purchased receivables with priority over the postpetition debtor-in-possession financing lenders' interest in those receivables. Evolution argues that the Bankruptcy Court's summary judgment order is an appealable final order. The District Court, however, finds the summary judgment order is not an appealable final order. Evolution argues that the summary judgment order denied the ultimate relief it sought in the complaint filed in the adversary proceeding: that the Bankruptcy Court declare that Evolution holds a first-priority security interest in the non-purchased receivables. Judge Rosenthal explains, "Although the Bankruptcy Court denied Evolution its preferred relief, the adversary proceeding has not concluded. Fact issues remain to be tried in the Bankruptcy Court on whether Evolution has priority over other pre-petition secured lenders. Because the summary judgment order does not terminate the underlying adversary proceeding, it is not final." The District Court also finds Evolution has not established the basis for an interlocutory appeal. The Court says the perfection issue that is the basis of Evolution's appeal is not one on which there is a substantial difference of opinion. Accordingly, the motion for leave to appeal is denied.

FLUOR CORP: Moody's Affirms 'Ba1' CFR, Outlook Stable ----------------------------------------------------- Moody's Ratings affirmed Fluor Corporation's ("Fluor") Ba1 corporate family rating, its Ba1-PD probability of default rating, its Ba1 rating of the company's 4.25% senior unsecured notes due 2028, and its Not Prime (NP) short-term commercial paper rating, respectively. The company's speculative grade liquidity rating ("SGL") remains SGL-1. The rating outlook is stable. RATINGS RATIONALE Fluor's operating performance has remained uneven, although its credit metrics remain appropriate for the Ba1 rating and continue to be supported by very strong liquidity and a moderately conservative financial policy. The company continued to reduce its exposure to legacy troubled projects during 2025 and through the first quarter of 2026, and Moody's expects Fluor to complete these projects by late 2026 or early 2027. However, project execution challenges persisted, including cost growth on certain infrastructure and mining projects. Despite further recent project cost overrun announcements, Moody's continues to view favorably Fluor's efforts to improve the quality of its backlog and reduce project execution risk through a greater emphasis on reimbursable contracts and more disciplined project selection. Fluor also experienced unfavorable legal outcomes related to previously completed projects, most notably the Santos dispute associated with an Australian LNG project and the LOGCAP litigation matter. The Santos dispute resulted in a substantial earnings impact and cash payment during 2025 and remains subject to appeal, while the LOGCAP matter resulted in charges taken in Q1 2026 and remains subject to ongoing legal proceedings. In addition, new awards and backlog generally declined during 2025, reflecting delays in customer investment decisions, timing of several large projects, and broader trade and geopolitical uncertainty. Nevertheless, management expects order activity to improve during the second half of 2026 and continues to target a book-to-burn ratio above 1.0x for the full year. As a result of weaker earnings and project-related charges, Moody's-adjusted leverage increased to 3.4x for the LTM period ended March 2026, from 1.5x at year-end 2024. However, Moody's expects leverage to improve toward the 2x range over the next 12 to 18 months as project activity increases and earnings recover. Moody's also continues to view favorably management's efforts to simplify the business and reduce capital intensity. The divestitures of Stork and the CFHI fabrication yard, together with the monetization of Fluor's investment in NuScale, generated significant cash proceeds that further strengthened the company's financial flexibility. While a portion of these proceeds is expected to be returned to shareholders through the company's announced $1.4 billion share repurchase program for 2026, Moody's expects Fluor to maintain very strong liquidity over the next 12 to 18 months, supported by substantial cash balances, positive free cash flow generation, and ample availability under its revolving credit facility. Fluor's rating (Ba1 CFR) is supported by its significant scale and broad capabilities across a wide range of end-markets and geographies. Its sizable order backlog provides good near term revenue visibility. The credit profile is also supported by the company's improved project selection approach, reflected by its reimbursable backlog increasing to over 80%. Additionally, Fluor's relatively conservative capital structure and financial policy provide additional support for its ratings. Fluor's rating is constrained by the elevated risks associated with its large and complex projects, particularly under fixed-price contracts, which have led to charges over the last few years and weigh on margins and cash flow. Fluor is also exposed to macroeconomic and geopolitical risks given its reliance on large capital projects. Fluor's credit profile is also constrained by its history of litigations on previously completed projects. The stable outlook reflects Moody's expectations that Fluor will continue to grow its backlog in a disciplined fashion and improve its project execution, driving better credit metrics while maintaining strong liquidity over the next 12 to 18 months. Fluor's SGL-1 rating reflects its very good liquidity profile with a significant cash and cash equivalents balance (excluding marketable securities) of $3.2 billion as of March 2026. Fluor also had $413 million of outstanding LCs and $903 million of borrowing availability under its $2.2 billion revolver. The credit facility has a few maintenance covenants including a maximum debt-to-capital ratio of 60% and minimum liquidity of $1.2 billion. Moody's expects the company to remain in compliance with these covenants over the next 12 to 18 months with a significant cushion. FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OR DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS Moody's could upgrade Fluor's ratings if the company demonstrates a more consistent track record of project execution, generates improved margins on a sustained basis, maintains bidding and backlog discipline, retains strong liquidity, and sustains adjusted leverage below 2.5x and interest coverage above 6.0x. Fluor's ratings could be downgraded if its operating performance and credit metrics deteriorate, its adjusted leverage ratio is sustained above 3.5x, interest coverage below 4.0x, or it fails to maintain a very strong liquidity profile. Headquartered in Irving, Texas, Fluor Corporation provides engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services globally and is a large contractor to the US government. The company generated $15.2 billion in reported revenue for the LTM period ended March 2026 and has a backlog of $25.7 billion. The principal methodology used in these ratings was Construction published in November 2025. Fluor's Ba1 rating is three notches below the scorecard-indicated outcome of Baa1, primarily reflecting the company's history of inconsistent project execution and risks related to litigations on past projects. FOCUS FINANCIAL: S&P Rates New $525MM Senior Secured Notes 'B' -------------------------------------------------------------- S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'B' issue rating and '3' recovery rating to Focus Financial Partners Inc.'s proposed issuance of $525 million senior secured notes due 2031. The '3' recovery rating indicates its expectation of meaningful (50%-70%; rounded estimate: 50%) recovery in the event of a default. S&P said, "We expect the company to use the proceeds to pay down outstanding drawings on its revolving credit facility and fund a shareholder distribution of $365 million. The proposed distribution follows debt-funded distributions of $698 million in January 2026, $889 million in January 2025, and $547 million in August 2024. We lowered our ratings on Focus to 'B' from 'B+' in January 2025 to reflect the company's aggressive financial policy and higher expected leverage. "Pro forma for the issuance, we expect Focus Financial Partners to operate with weighted average S&P Global Ratings-adjusted debt to EBITDA of 7.0x-8.0x, we also forecast EBITDA interest coverage to be in the 2.0x-3.0x range through 2026. In our calculation of EBITDA, we add back the change in fair value of contingent considerations and non-cash portion of management agreement buyout expenses. We adjust debt to include the fair value of contingent considerations and operating lease liabilities, and we do not net cash against debt." Issue Ratings--Recovery Analysis Key analytical factors -- S&P's recovery analysis includes the company's $6.4 billion secured debt (inclusive of the proposed $525 million senior secured notes issuance) and assumes 85% usage of the $925 million secured revolving credit facility. -- S&P applies a 5.0x multiple for all wealth managers because it thinks this represents an average multiple for asset managers emerging from a default scenario. Simulated default assumptions -- S&P's simulated default scenario includes substantial market depreciation, leading to a reduction in EBITDA sufficient to trigger a payment default. Simplified waterfall -- Emergence EBITDA: $790.3 million -- Multiple: 5x -- Gross recovery value: $3.95 billion -- Net recovery value for waterfall (after 5% administrative expenses): $3.75 billion -- Estimated priority claim: None -- Remaining recovery value: $3.75 billion -- Estimated first-lien claim: $7.23 billion -- Value available for first-lien claim: $7.23 billion -- Recovery range: 50% All amounts include six months of prepetition interest.

GIFTIFY INC: Posts $1.24MM Q2 Net Loss, Going Concern Risk Persists ------------------------------------------------------------------- Giftify, Inc. filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, reporting a net loss of $1,241,052 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a net loss of $2,589,809 for the same period in the prior year. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, the Company reported a net loss of $3,891,460, compared to a net loss of $5,807,141 in the corresponding prior-year period. Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2026, was $21,747,024, compared to $20,900,731 in the prior-year period. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was $43,104,428 from $43,177,744 in the same period of the prior year. Going Concern The Company has a history of reporting net losses. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $3,924,338 in cash available to fund its operations, including expansion plans, and to service its debt, and working capital of $141,944. The Company's consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company incurred operating losses and negative operating cash flows in 2025 and 2024, and it has financed its working capital requirements through borrowings from various sources and the sale of its equity securities. As a result, management has concluded, and the Company's independent registered public accounting firm has agreed with its conclusion that there is substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months beyond the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern depends on its ability to raise additional debt or equity capital to fund its business activities and ultimately achieve sustainable operating revenues and profitability. As market conditions present uncertainty as to the Company's ability to secure additional funds, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to secure additional financing on acceptable terms, as and when necessary to continue to conduct operations. There is also significant uncertainty as to the effect that the coronavirus may have on the Company's business plans and the amount and type of financing available to the Company in the future. If the Company is unable to obtain the cash resources necessary to satisfy the Company's ongoing cash requirements, the Company could be required to scale back its business activities or to discontinue its operations entirely. Liquidity and Capital Resources As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded a net loss of $3,891,460 and used cash in operations of $310,447. Cash used in operations was primarily for working capital. Historically, the Company financed its operations through existing cash balances, public and private issuance of common stock, term loans, and credit lines from financial institutions. As of the issuance date of the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management expects that the Company's existing cash of $3,924,338 generated from operations will last until June 30, 2027. The Company said, "To alleviate any funding considerations, management periodically evaluates various funding alternatives and may seek to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, debt securities, through arrangements with strategic partners, strategic transactions, or through obtaining credit from financial institutions. As we seek additional sources of financing, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available to us on favorable terms or at all. Our ability to obtain additional financing in the debt and equity capital markets is subject to several factors, including market and economic conditions, our performance, and investor sentiment with respect to us and our industry." "We are also continuing to take actions to improve the Company's operating performance and cash generated from operations, including product optimization, implementing strategies to increase sales, streamlining operations, negotiating equitable vendor contracts, and managing product price. However, we may be unsuccessful in executing these actions in a timely manner or at all." If the Company is unable to raise additional capital whenever necessary or otherwise improve its operating performance or generation of cash from operations, it may be forced to decelerate or curtail certain of its operations until such time as additional capital becomes available. A full-text copy of the Company's Form 10-Q is available at https://tinyurl.com/48rffmb9 About Giftify, Inc. Giftify, Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiary, Restaurant.com, Inc., has been in the business of connecting digital consumers, businesses, and communities with dining and merchant deals throughout the United States. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $30,173,802 in total assets, $9,107,497 in total liabilities, and $21,066,305 in total stockholders' equity. Los Angeles, California-based Weinberg & Company, P.A., the Company's auditor since 2023, issued a "going concern" qualification in its report dated March 18, 2026, citing that the Company has a history of reporting net losses and negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

GLOBAL ENTERPRISE: Gets Extension to Access Cash Collateral ----------------------------------------------------------- Global Enterprise of South Florida, Inc. received another extension from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida to use cash collateral. The court entered a third interim order authorizing the Debtor's continued access to cash collateral to pay operating expenses. This authorization will continue until further order of the court. While the Debtor is generally expected to follow its approved budget, expenditures exceeding budgeted amounts or not listed in the budget will not automatically be considered unauthorized if the recipient can establish that the expense would qualify for administrative expense priority under the Bankruptcy Code. Secured creditors including the U.S. Small Business Administration, Newtek Bank, N.A., Syndicate Group, and CFG Merchant Solutions will be granted replacement liens on all post-petition assets with the same priority and validity as their pre-bankruptcy liens, along with an administrative expense priority claim, to protect against any decline in collateral value resulting from the use of cash collateral. A continued hearing is scheduled for Aug. 12. The interim order is available at https://urlcurt.com/u?l=YQMPHf from PacerMonitor.com.

GULF STREAM: Amends Wells Fargo Secured Claim Pay ------------------------------------------------- Gulf Stream Manor MHC, LLC submitted a Second Amended Disclosure Statement describing Plan of Reorganization dated July 24, 2026. Gulf Stream is a limited liability company formed on January 4, 2012, under Louisiana law, with its operating agreement governed by Mississippi law. The company operates a mobile home park. To repair homes damaged by hurricanes, improve the property, and increase rental income, the Debtor seeks Debtor-in-Possession (DIP) financing. The proposed financing consists of a $1.5 million loan with no interest for two years, subject to court approval through a motion under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code. The motion, expected to be heard on August 26, 2026, requests a super-priority lien in exchange for the loan. The Debtor anticipates obtaining permanent financing by August 2028 to repay both the DIP loan and the existing loans owed to Wells Fargo and the SBA. Under an adequate protection order entered on October 22, 2025, the Debtor has been making $23,000 monthly payments beginning December 23, 2025, and these payments are current. The payments will continue until confirmation of the reorganization plan. The order also requires the Debtor to maintain property damage, loss of income, liability, and terrorism insurance in compliance with the mortgage, and the Debtor is obtaining higher property damage insurance limits as required by the lender. The Debtor has filed a Plan of Reorganization, which provides for continued operation of the mobile home park and obtaining financing sufficient to pay Wells Fargo's claim in full within six months of the plan's effective date. Classification of Claims Class 1 Wells Fargo (Secured Claim): * Holds the first mortgage with a claim of approximately $4.0 million. * The Debtor will continue making $23,000 monthly adequate protection payments until plan confirmation. * After confirmation, payments will increase to $32,482.08 per month, including 8.75% annual interest using the Till rate. * The original loan matured with a balloon payment due on December 6, 2024. * The Debtor intends to obtain the $1.5 million DIP loan, which will subordinate existing liens, including those of Wells Fargo and the SBA, to fund repairs. * The DIP loan is to be repaid through new financing within two years of the plan's effective date. * Class 1 is impaired under the plan. Class 3 Equity Interests: * Ownership consists of: -- Touch of Class MS, LLC – 40% -- SQI Lake Charles, LLC – 20% -- Crystal Lake MS, LLC – 40% * Touch of Class and Crystal Lake MS have each contributed $1.37 million in capital since 2000. * SQI has made no capital contributions and owes $548,000 for its 20% ownership interest. * SQI must contribute this amount within 10 days of the plan's effective date, or its ownership interest will be reissued to Touch of Class and Crystal Lake. The Debtor plans to continue operating the mobile home park, make payments required under the reorganization plan, and use the proceeds of the proposed $1.5 million DIP loan to complete hurricane-related repairs. The anticipated increase in rental income is intended to support the reorganization plan and facilitate permanent financing in August 2028 to repay the DIP lender and all current secured creditors.

At the time of the filing, Debtor had estimated assets of between $1,000,001 and $10 million and liabilities of between $1,000,001 and $10 million. Judge John Kolwe oversees the case.

HANSEN-MUELLER CO: Gets Interim OK to Use Cash Collateral --------------------------------------------------------- Hansen-Mueller, Inc. received another extension from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nebraska to use cash collateral. The court issued its 10th interim order authorizing the Debtor to use cash collateral through August 21 in accordance with its budget. A 15% variance is permitted on individual line items and on an aggregate weekly basis, except that no upward variance is allowed for the Debtor's professional fees. The Debtor formally acknowledges owing BMO Bank, N.A. more than $50.8 million in principal, plus a $2.5 million deficiency fee, and agrees that BMO's claims are valid, enforceable, and secured by first-priority liens on substantially all assets. It also waives the right to later challenge the legitimacy or enforceability of those liens, significantly strengthening BMO's secured position. As adequate protection against any diminution in collateral value, BMO and the pre-petition senior lenders will be granted first-priority replacement liens on substantially all post-petition assets (excluding Chapter 5 avoidance actions), along with superpriority administrative expense claims under section 507(b) that prime nearly all other claims. If an event of default occurs, BMO may terminate cash collateral use after a short notice period and seek emergency relief. Separately, the official committee of unsecured creditors retains limited investigation rights until August 21, including access to up to $50,000 of estate funds to investigate and potentially challenge BMO's liens. The Debtor must deliver weekly variance reports to BMO and the creditors' committee comparing actual receipts and disbursements against the budget and explaining any deviations. All cash collateral must be deposited into accounts maintained at BMO, and budget modifications require BMO's prior written consent. A final hearing is scheduled for August 19.

HARBOR FREIGHT TOOLS: S&P Alters Outlook to Pos, Affirms 'BB-' ICR ------------------------------------------------------------------ S&P Global Ratings revised its outlook to positive from stable and affirmed its ratings on U.S.-based discount tool and equipment retailer Harbor Freight Tools USA Inc., including the 'BB-' issuer credit rating. The positive outlook reflects the potential for a higher rating over the next 12 months if the company mitigates supply chain risks and sustains improved operating performance. It also incorporates S&P's forecast for free operating cash flow generation in fiscal 2027. Harbor Freight Tools USA Inc. sustained adjusted leverage of low-3x in the third quarter (ended on April 30, 2026) despite operating margin pressure from elevated tariffs. In addition, the company is strengthening its liquidity position in response to geopolitical uncertainties. S&P expects operating margin pressure and free operating cash flow (FOCF) volatility to subside as the company mitigates supply chain risks through geographic diversification. Leverage and operating performance were stronger than expected as the company managed tariffs. Harbor Freight has built a cushion in its credit metrics, with estimated S&P adjusted leverage decreasing to 2x in fiscal 2026 (ended on July 31, 2026), driven by significant tariff refunds and better-than-expected operating performance. Although this is a large year-over-year improvement, we believe the company will sustain S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage of 3x-4x (or company-adjusted 2x-3x) over the long term, consistent with its financial policy. Notably, changes in tariff rates reduced working capital requirements through this year, enabling the company to pay down $290 million of its $1.6 billion asset-based lending (ABL) facility due in 2029, which was fully undrawn in the third quarter (ended on April 30, 2026). In addition, the company reduced growth capital expenditure (capex), prepaid about $108 million of its outstanding term loan, and plans to preserve a portion of the cash received from tariff refunds to strengthen its liquidity position in response to geopolitical uncertainties. S&P forecasts adjusted leverage will increase to 2.7x in fiscal 2027 (ended on July 31, 2027) as nonrecurring tariff refunds subside. S&P said, "We expect consumer demand to remain resilient, supported by its value price-point positioning. While inflation remains a risk this year, amplified by the ongoing war in the Middle East, we believe Harbor Freight will benefit from trade-down effects as consumers look for value, demonstrated through a year-to-date comparable sales growth of 3.2% as of this third fiscal quarter. In our view, the company will continue to improve traffic by maintaining a price gap to competitors, expanding offerings, investing in product quality, and executing its new advertising strategy. In addition, we expect planned store refreshes will further bolster foot traffic going forward. We project revenue expansion will come primarily from comparable sales growth as new store openings have decelerated to 41 in fiscal 2026, compared to 51 in fiscal 2025 and 111 in fiscal 2024, due to high tariff costs. "We forecast revenue growth will slow to 4.3% in fiscal 2027, compared to 5.5% in fiscal 2026, due to a temporary slowdown in store openings. However, we expect revenue growth to accelerate to 6% in fiscal 2028 (ending July 31, 2028) as the company resumes expanding." In the third quarter, revenue increased 6.4%, driven by 4.9% comparable sales growth partially from high prices. This comparable sales performance was underpinned by a 1% increase in transactions and a 5.5% increase in average unit retail. Supply chain diversification and flexibility are critical to mitigating tariff risks. While a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in February 2026 invalidated some tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, the risk of new alternative tariffs remains large. Harbor Freight has successfully reduced its supply chain exposure to China to below 30% by the end of fiscal 2026 from over 60% in fiscal 2025. However, the company still relies on four Asian countries (China, Vietnam, Thailand, and Taiwan), which represent approximately 85% of its merchandise imports. S&P believes tariff increases in specific countries will be more manageable as the company diversifies away from China while enhancing its supply chain flexibility. S&P said, "We expect the company will continue its efforts to enhance profitability. We estimate nonrecurring tariff refunds (mostly paid in the fourth quarter) will lift adjusted EBITDA margin to 20.9% in fiscal 2026, compared to 17.5% in fiscal 2025. Beyond these one-time benefits, we expect the company will continue to execute its expense reduction plan, which has already improved margins by 300 bps this year through selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expense margin. In addition, we anticipate the company will continue to optimize its promotions and implement selective increase prices while maintaining its competitive price gap strategy to partially offset merchandise margin declines. "We forecast adjusted EBITDA margin will decline to 15.4% in fiscal 2027 as ongoing tariff costs remain elevated compared to fiscal 2025. In fiscal 2028, we expect adjusted EBITDA margin will modestly improve to 15.6%, as cost-saving initiatives offset new tariff increases, capital investments, and fixed costs from increasing store openings. Our forecast incorporates the Section 301 tariffs that came into effect July 24, 2026, which marginally increased tariffs in some countries in which the company has supply chain." S&P Global Ratings-adjusted EBITDA margin declined to 15.1% in the third quarter from 18.1% in the prior-year period high tariffs pressured merchandise margin by almost 475 bps. This decline offset reductions in labor hour, headcount, discretionary expense, and management compensation. S&P said, "We forecast FOCF will decrease but remain positive in fiscal 2027. We have adjusted our cash flow from operations to include tax dividends as tax-like payments, improving comparability to peers. We estimate that tariff refunds and lower capex will increase FOCF to approximately $630 million in fiscal 2026 compared to $437 million in fiscal 2025." However, cash flow has been volatile over the past 12-18 months due to working capital fluctuations--specifically, elevated merchandise costs and inventory pull forward--as well as deferred tax payments. Given this historical volatility caused by high China-related tariff exposure, S&P applies a negative comparable rating analysis to account for supply chain risks. S&P said, "We forecast FOCF to decline to about $30 million in fiscal 2027 driven by elevated tax payments from tariff refunds and higher capex as the company resumes store openings. We believe that the company will accelerate its openings to more than 100 stores per year over the longer term compared to about 41 openings in fiscal 2026, the lowest level in seven years." The positive outlook reflects the potential for a higher rating over the next 12 months if the company mitigates supply chain risks and sustains improved operating performance. It also incorporates our forecast for free operating cash flow generation in fiscal 2027. S&P could revise its outlook to stable if it forecasts S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage approaches 4x. This could occur if: -- The company cannot mitigate higher tariff costs, leading to further cash flow volatility or profitability deterioration; -- Operating performance weakens due to declining consumer demand, loss of market share, or new store performance falling below S&P's expectations; or -- It returns to a more aggressive financial policy. S&P could upgrade Harbor Freight if it expects the company will maintain leverage well below 4x. This could occur if the company: -- Mitigates higher tariff costs, which includes diversifying its supply chain, and demonstrates a track record of improved operating performance, -- Continues to increase market share by expanding operations, including revenue and EBITDA; or -- Adopts a more conservative financial policy.

HARVEST SHERWOOD: Court Confirms Chapter 11 Plan ------------------------------------------------ Ben Zigterman of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that a Texas bankruptcy judge has confirmed the Chapter 11 plan of Harvest Sherwood Food Distributors Inc., rejecting the last remaining objection from the U.S. Trustee's Office during a hearing Wednesday, August 5, 2026. The decision allows the defunct food distributor to proceed with its court-approved liquidation process. The trustee's office had raised concerns regarding provisions of the proposed plan, but the court found that the objections did not justify withholding confirmation. After overruling the challenge, the judge determined the restructuring proposal complied with applicable bankruptcy requirements, the report states. The confirmed plan establishes the framework for administering the bankruptcy estate and distributing proceeds to creditors. The ruling brings the Chapter 11 case a step closer to completion after months of restructuring efforts, according to Law360. About Harvest Sherwood Food Distributors Harvest Sherwood is a U.S.-based national food distribution company formed through the merger of Sherwood Food Distributors and Harvest Food Distributors. It operates 14 distribution centers and delivers over 32 million pounds of food weekly to customers including retailers, cruise lines, and food service providers.

In April 2023, Luis Sepulveda opened a second restaurant, Haydee's Cafe & Cantina, Inc. To obtain SBA financing for the new location, both the Debtor and Mr. Sepulveda guaranteed the loan. The second location was unsuccessful and closed, leaving the Debtor responsible for a substantial loan guaranty despite not receiving the loan proceeds.

The Debtor filed for bankruptcy to stabilize its operations, continue serving customers and employees, and restructure its financial obligations while preserving the value of the business. Mr. Sepulveda serves as the Debtor's general manager and receives only nominal compensation. Rather than taking a regular salary or draws, he reinvests as much of the business's revenue as possible into marketing and business growth.

HRONIS INC: Court OKs Farm Business Sale to Conterra Agricultural ----------------------------------------------------------------- The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of California, Fresno Division, has granted Hronis Inc., a California corporation and its affiliates, to sell substantially all Assets, free and clear of liens, claims, interests, and encumbrances. The Debtors are part of a single business enterprise that has farmed in the San Joaquin Valley since 1945, operating out of a headquarters complex located at 10443 Hronis Road in Delano, California. The Business grows, harvests, and markets more than 80 million pounds of table grapes annually, with major and regional retailers and supermarket chains and other commercial accounts comprising its primary customer base. Most of the Business’s fruit is harvested from approximately 6,000 acres of owned and leased land. Historically, between 10% and 20% of its fruit is harvested from other farmers’ acres under contract. While the Business has been impacted by rising input costs and increasingly frequent extreme weather events like many other agricultural companies in the San Joaquin Valley, certain adverse events specific to the Debtors exacerbated the challenges and steadily drained liquidity over time. The Debtors engaged in extensive negotiations with Conterra Agricultural Capital LLC, their existing primary secured lender, and determined to proceed with Conterra (or its designee) as stalking horse bidder for the Business. The parties' stalking horse asset purchase agreement provides for, among other things: a purchase price of $110,000,000, plus the outstanding amount borrowed by the Debtors under the DIP Facility, and the assumption of certain liabilities as described in the Stalking Horse Agreement. About Hronis Inc. Hronis, Inc. is an agricultural company based in Delano, Calif., that grows, harvests and markets table grapes in California's San Joaquin Valley, with operations dating to 1945. The business cultivates grapes on about 6,000 acres of owned and leased land in Kern and Tulare counties and produces more than 80 million pounds of table grapes annually, supplying major retailers, supermarket chains and other commercial customers through a vertically integrated operation that includes hand harvesting, packing, cold storage and distribution. The company also grows citrus and has begun planting pistachios, which are in early-stage development. Hronis and its affiliates sought protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. E.D. Cal. Lead Case 26-10978) on March 6, 2026, with between $50 million and $100 million in both assets and liabilities. Judge Rene Lastreto II oversees the cases. The Debtors tapped Zev M.

To maintain and continue uninterrupted ordinary course operations, the Debtors have filed a variety of "first day" motions seeking approval from the Court for various forms of customary relief, designed primarily to minimize the effect of bankruptcy on HSSC's operations, customers, and employees. Acceleration of Debt Obligations The commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases constitutes an event of default under the applicable indentures governing HSSC's 5.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 and its 6.625% Senior Notes due 2026, which results in automatic acceleration of HSSC's obligations under such Debt Instruments. Any efforts to enforce payment obligations under the Debt Instruments are automatically stayed as a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, and the creditors' rights of enforcement in respect of the Debt Instruments are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. Leadership Appointments On July 28, 2026, HSSC appointed Robert Del Genio as Chief Restructuring Officer. Mr. Del Genio, age 67, is a Senior Managing Director of FTI Consulting, Inc., where he has worked for the past five years specializing in restructuring and reorganizations, having served as chief restructuring officer, president, chief executive officer, and chief financial officer at various companies. On July 31, 2026, HSSC appointed Ramesh Ramaswamy, age 66, as Executive Vice President, General Manager. Mr. Ramaswamy joined HSSC in 1985 as a software engineer and rose through management roles in engineering, operations, marketing, and sales. On July 28, 2026, HSSC appointed Michael C. Buenzow and Anthony R. Horton as independent directors. Messrs. Buenzow and Horton will serve on a newly formed independent committee, which was formed to review and evaluate certain related party transactions between HSSC and/or its subsidiaries and EchoStar and/or its subsidiaries. There are no transactions between any of Messrs. Del Genio, Ramaswamy, Buenzow, and Horton and EchoStar and/or HSSC that are required to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. Director Departure On July 28, 2026, in conjunction with his upcoming retirement, Paul Gaske resigned from all director and officer positions of EchoStar and HSSC, effective immediately. Mr. Gaske remains employed by EchoStar as a senior advisor for a transition period to assist EchoStar and HSSC. Cautionary Note Regarding Securities HSSC and EchoStar caution that trading in their respective securities during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. Trading prices for such securities may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by holders of such securities in the Chapter 11 Cases.

HUGHES SATELLITE: Judge to Approve Cash Use With Escrow ------------------------------------------------------- Emlyn Cameron of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that a Texas bankruptcy judge said he will approve Hughes Satellite Systems Corp.'s request to use cash collateral during its Chapter 11 proceedings, provided the company escrows certain funds that remain in dispute. The ruling gives the EchoStar Corp. subsidiary access to operating cash while protecting creditor interests. According to the court, the escrow mechanism strikes an appropriate balance between Hughes' need to finance ongoing operations and secured creditors' claims to the cash collateral. The judge said the disputed funds should remain protected until the underlying issues are resolved. The conditional approval allows Hughes to continue operating its satellite broadband business while advancing its bankruptcy restructuring. The debtor and creditors are expected to submit a final order outlining the escrow arrangement and the terms governing future use of the cash collateral, the report states.

IMA FINANCIAL: S&P Rates New $1.295BB First-Lien Term Loan 'B' -------------------------------------------------------------- S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'B' issue rating to IMA Financial Group Inc.'s proposed $1.295 billion first-lien term loan due 2033 and $300 million revolver due 2031. S&P also assigned its '3' recovery rating to both proposed issuances, indicating its expectation of meaningful recovery (50%-70%; rounded estimate: 50%) in the event of payment default. All existing ratings, including its 'B' issuer credit rating, are unchanged. IMA intends to use the proceeds to refinance its existing term loan ($1.293 billion due September 2028). As a result, pro forma financial leverage, including a $240 million debt repayment in May 2026, is 7.2x (down from 8.4x for the 12 months ended March 31, 2026). This level of financial leverage is modestly elevated, in our view, relative to our downside rating trigger of 7.0x, but we expect it to improve to 6.0x-7.0x through 2027, which aligns with our run-rate expectation. S&P said, "We expect strong top-line growth of 15% in 2026 and 12% in 2027, with EBITDA margins of 21%-22% during that span, on organic growth and acquisitions. We think this will drive stronger cash flow generation."

The Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program conducted in-person monitoring visits on June 3 and July 6, meeting with the Administrator/VP of Operations, Director of Nursing, Director of Staff Development, Kitchen Supervisor, Central Supply Manager, Social Services staff, and Accounts Payable Manager.

The ombudsman representative observed that Central Supply had adequate stocks of linens, incontinent supplies, hygiene items, medical supplies, PPE, and cleaning products, with weekly deliveries and no reported shortages. Facility temperatures were comfortable, air conditioning units were operational, and no environmental hazards were observed. Residents expressed no concerns regarding their living environment. The ombudsman representative noted that staff were cooperative during the visits, provided requested information, and that ombudsman contact information was posted in all resident rooms. Based on the visits and ongoing communication with facility leadership, the ombudsman representative concluded that the financial restructuring has not impacted daily operations or staff's ability to provide appropriate resident care. Residents reported no concerns regarding the bankruptcy. Observations indicated stable staffing, maintained facilities, and consistent service quality.

INNOVATE CORP: Amends 2027 Notes to Permit Payment-in-Kind Interest ------------------------------------------------------------------- INNOVATE Corp. said in a regulatory filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that, on July 31, 2026, the Company, certain subsidiary guarantors, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee and collateral trustee, entered into two supplemental indentures: (i) a supplemental indenture to the Indenture, dated Aug. 4, 2025, governing the Company's 10.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 and (ii) a supplemental indenture to the Indenture, dated Aug. 4, 2025, governing the Company's 9.5% Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2027. Each Supplemental Indenture amended the respective related indenture to permit interest for the interest period from Feb. 1, 2026, through July 31, 2026, on Notes held by consenting holders to be paid in kind by increasing the principal amount of the Notes or issuing additional Notes. Consenting holders also received a consent fee equal to 1.5% of the principal amount of the Notes for which they granted consent, paid in additional Notes of the applicable series. Notes held by non-consenting holders remain subject to the existing cash interest payment requirements. As a result, in respect of the Aug. 1, 2026 interest payment on the Notes: (i) the total outstanding principal amount of 10.50% 2027 Senior Secured Notes will increase to $400.9 million, and the Company will pay $3.1 million in cash interest rather than $19.9 million (which would otherwise have been due) and (ii) the total outstanding principal amount of 2027 Convertible Notes will increase to $58.9 million, and the Company will pay $0.5 million in cash interest rather than $2.7 million (which would otherwise have been due). Lancer Capital LLC, a related party, consented to the Supplemental Indenture in respect of the 2027 Convertible Notes that it holds, and accordingly received an aggregate of $0.1 million principal amount of the additional 2027 Convertible Notes issued as payment in kind of interest for the interest period from Feb. 1, 2026 through July 31, 2026 together with the related consent fee.

Sanders is the company's Chief Executive Officer and sole stockholder and has been involved since its inception. IGH filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on April 24, 2026.

IGH provides professional services under contracts with the Department of Defense (DoD) and other federal agencies. During the first half of 2025, Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) reviews resulted in the reduction or cancellation of several contracts that represented a significant portion of the company's revenue. Combined with declining cash flow and reduced borrowing capacity, these factors led IGH to seek Chapter 11 protection to preserve operations, continue serving government customers, protect employee jobs, and restructure its financial obligations. Reorganization Plan * The plan provides for payment of administrative expenses, priority claims, and secured creditors in full or in part through cash or deferred cash payments. * Unsecured creditors will receive payments equal to or greater than they would receive in a Chapter 7 liquidation. * Funding for the plan will come from the Debtor's ongoing business earnings. Treatment of Claims Class B-1 (Secured Claim – PFF, LLC): * PFF, LLC filed a secured claim of $860,831.18. * The lender agreed to reduce the interest rate from 15.9% to 12% and credit payments made during the bankruptcy case. * Payments made before confirmation include one payment of $4,015.53 and two payments of $30,000, with additional payments to be made before confirmation. * PFF, LLC will retain its lien, and the secured claim will be paid in full with interest through monthly payments of $30,000, beginning on the 15th day of the first month after the Effective Date. Class C (General Unsecured Claims): * Allowed unsecured claims will receive approximately 27.65% of their claims, without interest, through six semiannual payments. * Payments will begin on January 1, 2027, and conclude on July 1, 2029. * This class is impaired under the plan.

KAHN PROPERTY: Amends 135 WG Secured Claim Pay ---------------------------------------------- Kahn Property Owner, LLC submitted a Third Amended Disclosure Statement describing Second Amended Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization dated July 24, 2026. Kahn Property Owner, LLC is a privately owned New York limited liability company. It is owned 99% by Kahn Associates, LLC and 1% by Kahn MM, Inc. The Debtor owns approximately 22.3 acres of real property at 135 West Gate Drive, Huntington, New York, which includes Oheka Castle & Resort. The Debtor owns and operates the property, while Oheka Castle operates as a separate entity that functions as a restaurant and catering venue for weddings, parties, corporate events, and similar functions. In 2016, a foreclosure action was commenced against the Debtor in New York Supreme Court by the predecessor to 135 WG, the mortgage holder. On April 4, 2025, the court entered a judgment of foreclosure and sale, which the Debtor appealed. While the appeal was pending, 135 WG scheduled a foreclosure sale for August 7, 2025. The Debtor contends that the property was being sold without a commercially reasonable sale process, while 135 WG maintains it complied with applicable state court procedures. The Debtor filed for bankruptcy before the scheduled sale. The Debtor is interviewing brokers and negotiating the terms of a potential auction sale with 135 WG. The reorganization plan contemplates either a private sale or an auction of the property, including its development rights and the assets of affiliated operating entities, subject to court approval where required. Classification of Claims Class 1 Secured Claim (135 WG): * Represents the mortgage on the property. * According to 135 WG, the amount owed as of October 15, 2025, is $56,552,098.93, plus any allowable accrued interest. * The Debtor disputes the amount of the claim, and the appeal is expected to determine the issue. * Upon the plan's effective date, the allowed secured claim will be paid in full with applicable interest from one of the following: -- A court-approved global resolution between the Debtor and 135 WG, -- Proceeds of a private sale of the property, development rights, and affiliated operating entities' assets, or -- Proceeds of an auction sale of those same assets. Class 2 General Unsecured Claims: * Filed claims total approximately $28,895,234. * Of that amount, $10,000,000 consists of alleged personal injury claims that will be directed to applicable insurance. * The Debtor disputes other claims and expects the total allowed claims in this class to be approximately $12,000,000. * Allowed Class 2 claims will be paid in full after payment of the Class 1 secured claim and court-approved professional and administrative expenses, using proceeds from: -- A court-approved global resolution, -- A private sale, or -- An auction sale. * Class 2 is unimpaired under the plan. A primary objective of the Debtor is to maximize value through the sale of the property's development rights and/or the property as a whole. An appraisal dated May 2026 values the property at $92 million. The plan provides two potential sale processes, private sale or auction, with the goal of generating sufficient proceeds to pay creditors in full within a reasonable period. The Debtor states that the plan is feasible and can be implemented in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and applicable law.

KEHE DISTRIBUTORS: S&P Rates New $750MM Senior Secured Notes 'B-' ----------------------------------------------------------------- S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'B-' issue-level rating and '5' recovery rating to Illinois-based KeHE Distributors LLC's (subsidiary of KeHE Distributors Holdings LLC) proposed $750 million senior secured notes due 2034. The '5' recovery rating indicates S&P's expectation for modest (10%-30%; rounded estimate: 25%) recovery for lenders in the event of a payment default. KeHE Finance Corp. and NextWave Distribution Inc. (not rated) are co-issuers of the debt. S&P said, "All our existing ratings on KeHE, including the 'B' issuer credit rating, are unchanged. The stable outlook reflects our expectation that the company will maintain S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage in the low-5x area, supported by its sales momentum and EBITDA growth." KeHE, an organic and specialty foods distributor, intends to utilize the net proceeds from this issuance (supplemented by a $250 million fungible add-on to its secured notes due 2033 and borrowings under its asset-based lending {ABL} revolving credit facility), to refinance its existing $1 billion senior secured notes due 2029, including the settlement of breakage costs and associated transaction fees. Issue Ratings--Recovery Analysis Key analytical factors -- S&P rates KeHE's $500 million senior secured notes due 2033, the proposed $250 million add-on, and the new $750 million senior secured notes due 2034 'B-' with a '5' recovery rating. The '5' recovery rating indicates its expectation for modest recovery (10%-30%; rounded estimate: 25%) in the event of a payment default. -- S&P rates the company's $1.4 billion U.S. ABL facility due 2031 'BB-' with a '1' recovery rating. The '1' recovery rating indicates its expectation for very high recovery (90%-100%; rounded estimate: 95%) in the event of a default. -- All loans under the ABL facility are collateralized by a first-priority lien on the company's inventory and accounts receivable. The senior secured notes carry a second-priority lien on, and security interest in, substantially all the collateral pledged to the ABL and a first-priority lien on substantially all other assets. -- S&P's simulated default scenario contemplates a payment default occurring in 2029 due to a significant decline in the company's EBITDA generation because of a material loss of market share amid intense industry competition, pricing erosion, higher costs, and execution issues, which all lead to lower sales, margins, and operating earnings. -- S&P also assumes $819 million of borrowings under the ABL revolving credit facility will be outstanding by the time the company defaults, which reflects 60% utilization of the $1.4 billion commitment (less outstanding letters of credit). Simulated default assumptions -- Simulated year of default: 2029 -- EBITDA at emergence: $235 million -- Enterprise value (EV) multiple: 5.5x -- Estimated gross EV at emergence: $1.29 billion Simplified waterfall -- Net EV at default (after 5% administrative costs): $1.23 billion -- Obligor/nonobligor valuation split: 94%/6% -- Net recovery available to U.S. priority claims: $1.16 billion -- U.S. priority claims: $770 million --Recovery expectations: 90%-100% (rounded estimate: 95%) -- Net recovery available to Canadian priority claims: $74 million -- Canadian ABL facility claims: $49 million -- Net recovery available to senior secured notes: $393 million -- Senior notes and other notes claims: $1.55 billion --Recovery expectations: 10%-30% (rounded estimate: 25%) Note: All debt claims include six months of prepetition interest.

KIITOS BREWING: Seeks Continued Cash Collateral Access ------------------------------------------------------ Kiitos Brewing, LLC asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Utah, for authority to continue using cash collateral and provide adequate protection, through December 31, 2026. The request follows a prior cash collateral order entered on May 11, 2026, which authorized the company's use of cash collateral and provided adequate protection to Mountain West Bank, a division of Glacier Bank, and the U.S. Small Business Administration. That order was effective through July 31, 2026, and contemplated that the Debtor could seek an extension if additional use of cash collateral became necessary. The Debtor states that the SBA has provided written consent to the continued use of cash collateral under the same terms and conditions established in the earlier order. The requested extension would apply from August 1 through December 31, 2026, with the SBA's second-priority lien remaining protected under the existing adequate protection provisions. The Debtor indicates that it expects to have a confirmed Chapter 11 reorganization plan in place by the end of the requested extension period, making the continued access to cash collateral essential for maintaining operations while completing the restructuring process.

The ruling keeps the debtor's restructuring efforts on track despite an ongoing dispute over corporate control. The former CEO contended that the individuals who approved the bankruptcy petition lacked legal authority to do so and asked the court to dismiss the case. The judge declined, concluding that the governance issues raised by the former executive did not justify ending the Chapter 11 proceedings at this stage, the report states. As a result, the debtor will remain in bankruptcy while continuing to operate and pursue its restructuring strategy. The court said disputes over management authority and ownership can be resolved through the bankruptcy process without interrupting the Chapter 11 case, according to report.

The decision leaves the ownership dispute to be resolved through the Chapter 11 process. Investors argued that Linqto acquired the Circle shares specifically for their accounts and therefore should be required to transfer the securities despite the bankruptcy filing. The court found that competing claims over ownership and the status of the assets prevent such relief at this stage, the report states. As a result, the disputed shares will remain with the bankruptcy estate while the court considers the parties' contractual and property rights. The ruling preserves the assets pending further proceedings in Linqto's restructuring, according to Law360. About Linqto Inc.

Perez of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas denied the motions of various customers for turnover of alleged non-estate property in the bankruptcy case of Linqto Inc. Prepetition, Linqto Texas, LLC and its affiliate debtors (the "Debtors") operated an online investment platform purporting to allow customers to indirectly invest in private technology companies. Liquidshares purchased and held securities of privately held companies, or equity in a fund that owns shares of an issuing company. Liquidshares then purported to allocate an economic interest in the securities into a special purpose vehicle in the form of a series limited liability company. Specifically, each motion asks the Court to determine whether shares in Circle Internet Group, Inc. are property of the bankruptcy estate under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 541. Customers request the Court order the Debtors to "turn over" Circle shares pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Sec. 542. They argue that because the shares are not property of the estate, as defined under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 541, Debtors are required to turn over the alleged non-estate property to customers. Specifically, they argue that the Debtors, at most, hold bare legal title for the benefit of customers and that, as such, the Circle shares are not property of the estate under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 541(d). According to Judge Perez, "Here, customers' requests to turnover the Circle shares under Sec. 542 is improper. Section 542 of the Bankruptcy Code is meant to turn over property of the estate, in the hands of non-custodial third parties, to the trustee or debtor in possession. This section is not the vehicle in which customers may seek turnover of property in the Debtors' possession and control to themselves. Thus, customers will find no relief in Sec. 542 of the Bankruptcy Code." In this case, through their turnover motions, customers dispute the Debtors' equitable interests in the Circle shares and request to recover such property from the Debtors. The Court finds because customers request a recovery of property and a determination of their interests in the Circle shares by way of motion, the turnover motions are procedurally defective. Customers should have instead filed an adversary proceeding in this Court, complying with the requirements of Part VII of the Bankruptcy Rules, which govern adversary proceedings. Therefore, because customers failed to file an adversary proceeding to seek the relief sought by their turnover motions, the turnover motions are denied.

MG LOGISTICS: Plan Confirmation Hearing Scheduled for Aug. 25 ------------------------------------------------------------- Judge Daniel R. Fine of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois conditionally approved the Amended Disclosure Statement describing Chapter 11 Plan of MG Logistics Incorporated. The Disclosure Statement is conditionally approved as containing adequate information in accordance with section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code and is subject to final approval of the Court at the Combined Hearing. The Debtor's request for a Combined Hearing on the final approval of the Disclosure Statement and confirmation of the Plan, and the following Confirmation Schedule, are approved: * The Confirmation Hearing on the Plan is set for August 25, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. * The deadline for creditors and parties in interest to file objections to the Plan is August 20, 2026. * All ballots accepting or rejecting the Plan shall be filed on or before August 20, 2026. In a court filing, the plan provides the following treatment: * Classes 2–8 (Equipment Lenders): Paid in full or in part under restructured amortization schedules. * Class 9 (Landlord Claims): Treated according to the landlord settlement. * Class 10 (General Unsecured Claims): Receives a pro rata share of: -- At least $100,000 from the net portion of the equity contribution, -- Net proceeds from avoidance actions, and -- Any bad faith claim recovery. * Class 12 (Plan Sponsor): Retains the existing equity interest if no successful third-party equity bid is approved. * Class 1 (Priority Claims): Paid in full, although the Debtor believes there are likely no claims in this class. If an impaired class rejects the plan and at least one qualified bid is submitted, the Debtor will seek to continue the confirmation hearing until after the equity auction concludes. Amended schedules made two significant changes: * Accounts receivable were reduced from $1,071,010.84 to $0, with the full $1,824,235.70 in receivables treated as doubtful or uncollectible because they relate to Max Freight equipment leases. * The Amtrust/Wesco insurance collateral deposit increased from $289,870 to $530,000, increasing total deposits and prepayments to $578,000, while the Debtor investigates possible pre-petition setoffs. As a result of these amendments: * Total scheduled assets decreased from $16,364,337.56 to $15,533,456.72. * Total nonpriority unsecured claims increased from $2,101,778.64 to $2,454,364.36. * Total scheduled liabilities exceed total scheduled assets by approximately $9,345,907.64. For Class 10, holders of allowed general unsecured claims will receive their pro rata share of either: * The net proceeds from a successful equity auction, or * If no winning bid is approved, the net portion of the equity contribution (at least $100,000), which the Debtor estimates will provide a recovery of approximately 2% of allowed unsecured claims. Funding for the plan will come from: * Existing cash on the effective date, * Cash generated from ongoing operations, and * Plan funding, including either the equity contribution or cash contributed by a successful bidder in the equity auction. If no third-party winning bid is approved, the Plan Sponsor will contribute $200,000 to the reorganized Debtor. The portion of that contribution not needed for administrative and priority tax claims will be distributed pro rata to allowed general unsecured creditors. After confirmation, the reorganized Debtor will make payments to creditors through the Plan Sponsor. The reorganized Debtor will also have the right to prepay equipment lender obligations at any time without penalty, fee, or additional charge.

The Debtor is represented by Michael A. King, Esq. NEWELL BANDS: S&P Rates New $500MM Five-Year Sr. Unsecured Notes ---------------------------------------------------------------- S&P Global Ratings assigned its 'B+' issue-level and '3' recovery ratings to U.S.-based Newell Brands Inc.'s proposed $500 million, five-year senior unsecured notes. The '3' recovery rating indicates its expectation for meaningful (50%-70%; rounded estimate: 55%) recovery in the event of a payment default. The company intends to use the net cash proceeds to redeem its 6.375%, $500 million senior unsecured notes due Sept. 15, 2027. S&P's 'B+' issuer credit rating and stable outlook are unchanged. Newell Brands' second-quarter performance was above its expectations, with quarterly sales growth for the first time in more than four years. It came on product innovation, higher advertising and promotional support, and distribution gains through improved go-to-market capabilities. Newell also replaced its $1 billion senior secured credit facility with an $800 million asset-based loan (ABL) revolver and raised its outlook for the year, including 1%-2% net sales growth (compared with flat to 2% previously) and 130 basis points of normalized operating margin improvement. S&P said, "We estimate that trailing-12-month S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage improved materially in the quarter to about 5.5x as of June 30, 2026, from 6.1x in the immediately preceding quarter. Our outlook remains stable." Notwithstanding Newell's recent progress improving performance, a higher rating would require a longer track record of sales, earnings, and cash flow growth and S&P Global Ratings-adjusted leverage sustained below 5x. This could prove difficult given the discretionary nature of demand for most of its products, likelihood for higher inflation, and heightened geopolitical risk. Issue Ratings--Recovery Analysis Key analytical factors The pro forma debt capital structure primarily consists of: -- $800 million ABL revolving credit facility expiring in 2031, subject to an accelerated maturity provision; -- Up to $700 million uncommitted customer receivable purchase agreements (factoring); -- Up to $225 million to $275 million committed factoring agreement; and -- Approximately $4.5 billion senior unsecured notes (including the $500 million proposed issuance) with maturities ranging between 2028-2046. -- Security and guarantee package -- S&P considers the ABL and factoring arrangements to be priority obligations to the senior unsecured notes. Obligors under the ABL are Newell Brands Inc. and Newell Brands Ireland Services DAC, and the initial guarantors include entities established in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and England and Wales. Subject to haircuts and adjustments, the borrowing base consists of cash of U.S. loan parties, certain receivables, inventory, equipment, and intellectual property. The facility matures on the earlier of five years from initial funding date and 91 days before the earliest scheduled maturity date of any debt unless the principal amount of such debt is less than $125 million. S&P believes the earliest potential accelerated maturity date is March 2, 2028. The uncommitted customer receivable purchase agreements enable the company to sell up to $700 million of certain customer receivables to a financial institution. The separate committed factoring agreement enables the company to sell--via a wholly owned special purpose entity (SPE)--up to $225 million of certain customer receivables between February and April (coinciding with seasonal low points) and up to $275 million at all other times. Consistent with our criteria, S&P assumes in its hypothetical default scenario that borrowings under the customer receivable purchase agreements and SPE factoring agreement equal the low point of their respective borrowing bases (approximately $300 million combined). The $4.5 billion notes are senior unsecured obligations of the company and benefit from unsecured guarantees from the same entities which guarantee the ABL. Insolvency regime S&P said, "In the event of an insolvency proceeding, we assume Newell would file for bankruptcy protection under the auspices of the U.S. federal bankruptcy court system and not involve other foreign jurisdictions. We believe creditors would receive maximum recovery if Newell reorganized instead of liquidated. This is primarily because of its established brands, significant manufacturing and supply chain management capabilities, and established relationship with large retailers." Simulated default assumptions S&P's simulated default scenario assumes a payment default in 2030 as the company's business deteriorates because of increasing competition, stringent demands from large customers, prolonged economic weakness that hurts consumer spending, and escalating input costs. These factors cause significant EBITDA and cash flow deterioration, resulting in a payment default. -- Emergence EBITDA: $613 million -- Multiple: 6x -- Gross recovery value: $3.679 billion Simplified waterfall -- Net recovery value for waterfall after administrative expenses (5%): $3.495 billion -- Obligor/nonobligor valuation split: 72%/28% -- Estimated priority claims (factoring facilities and ABL): $764 million -- Total value available to unsecured creditors: $2.731 billion -- Total senior unsecured claims: $4.698 billion -- Recovery expectations: 50%-70% (rounded estimate: 55%) All debt amounts include six months of prepetition interest. NLC PRODUCTS: Clarksville Property Sale to Undisclosed Buyer OK'd ----------------------------------------------------------------- The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas, Central Division, has granted NLC Products Inc. to sell Property, free and clear of liens, claims, interests, and encumbrances. The Debtor owns an interest in 8.24 acres of real property located in Clarksville, Johnson County, Arkansas. The Debtor is an Arkansas corporation that, among other trade names, does business as Nite Lite Company. The Debtor intends to sell all right, title, and interest in the real property, which is expected to result in returns to creditors at a higher rate than dismissal or conversion. The Court has authorized the Debtor to sell the Property to an undisclosed third party, who is unrelated to the Debtor for the amount of $1,550,000.00 cash. The Debtor's counsel has conferred with counsel for Arvest Bank and believes Arvest Bank has no objection to the proposed sale. The Real Property is subject to certain liens and encumbrances. The sale of the Real Property will enable the Debtor to obtain proceeds that may subsequently be distributed to one or more creditors. The sale and the Agreement was the product of arm's-length and good faith negotiations between the Debtor and the buyer, without collusion, the Purchase Price is fair and reasonable, for reasonably equivalent value, and the sale and the Agreement are in the best interest of the estate and its creditors. About NLC Products Inc. NLC Products Inc. is a privately held company specializing in niche catalog and e-commerce retail. Based in Arkansas, it operates a range of brands across various lifestyle segments, including gifts, apparel, and specialty merchandise. One of its notable subsidiaries is SGT GRIT, a brand dedicated to United States Marine Corps-themed apparel and accessories, which NLC acquired to expand its patriotic and military-focused offerings. NLC Products Inc. sought relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. E.D. Ark. Case No. 25-11264) on April 14, 2025. In its petition, the Debtor reported total assets of $4,144,606 and total liabilities of $3,997,628. Judge Phyllis M. Jones handles the case. The Debtor is represented by Kevin P. Keech, Esq., at Keech Law Firm, PA. NORTH COUNTY PIZZA: Seeks Cash Collateral Access ------------------------------------------------ North County Pizza, Inc. asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of California for authority to use cash collateral and provide adequate protection. Access to cash collateral will allow the Debtor to stay current on leases, payroll, taxes, and supplier payments, stabilizing operations over the next two months to support an eventual plan of reorganization. Historically, the Debtor owned and operated two Domino's Pizza franchises at Camp Pendleton, California, from 1988 to 2025. Because federal contract rules prohibited liens on equipment located on military land, traditional lenders declined financing, prompting the Debtor to rely heavily on Merchant Cash Advance agreements. After selling the Camp Pendleton locations in April 2025 and downsizing further in 2026 by selling an unprofitable store in Bonsall, California, the Debtor retained a single profitable location in Oceanside, California. However, the business became overwhelmed by the debt service demands of its outstanding MCA loans, leading to a lawsuit by MCA lender True Business Funding LLC and aggressive creditor demands that cut off cash flow and forced the Chapter 11 filing. The Debtor argues that its primary MCA lenders -- Bluevine, Capytal.com, Square, LCF Group, and True Business Funding LLC -- do not hold perfected or enforceable security interests in its deposit accounts or pre-petition cash. Under California commercial law, security interests in deposit accounts require perfection by control; because the MCA lenders relied solely on ACH withdrawals from commingled operating accounts without deposit account control agreements, any claimed security interests are unperfected and avoidable under Bankruptcy Code Section 544(a). Furthermore, the Debtor argues under Section 552(a) that because the MCA agreements represent revenue-purchase contracts secured by future receivables, pre-petition liens cannot attach to post-petition revenues generated after the bankruptcy filing. To the extent any MCA lenders hold valid secured claims that suffer a post-petition diminution in value, the Debtor proposes providing adequate protection by granting replacement liens on post-petition assets to the same priority and validity as their pre-petition liens, explicitly excluding estate avoidance causes of action under Sections 544, 545, 547, and 548. The Debtor maintains that maintaining active operations and preserving going-concern value inherently protects secured creditors better than liquidation. A hearing on the matter is set for August 27. Objections are due by August 13. A copy of the motion is available at https://urlcurt.com/u?l=hd98Mz from PacerMonitor.com. About North County Pizza Inc.

Case No. 26-00968) on March 11, 2026, listing up to $500,000 in assets and up to $10 million in liabilities. Shane Casey, president of North County Pizza, signed the petition. Judge J. Barrett Marum oversees the case. Richard Sturdevant, Esq., at Financial Relief Law Center, APC, represents the Debtor as bankruptcy counsel. NORTH TEXAS: Cash Collateral Hearing Set for Aug. 19 ---------------------------------------------------- The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, is set to hold a hearing on August 19 to consider extending North Texas Fiber, Inc.'s authority to use cash collateral. The Debtor was previously authorized to access cash collateral to fund its operations under the court's July 27 interim order. The interim order granted Liberty Bankers Life Insurance Company adequate protection through automatically perfected replacement liens on substantially all of the Debtor's assets; a superpriority administrative expense claim subordinate to the fee carveout; and insurance coverage. Liberty, the Debtor's secured lender, claims a first-priority security interest in the Debtor's accounts and other cash collateral, securing a claim of at least $2,687,115. Events of default under the interim order include operating disbursements exceeding the approved budget beyond the permitted variance without the lender's prior consent or court approval; payment of obligations not included in the budget; any materially false or misleading representation by the Debtor in post-petition reports or financial statements; sale, transfer or other disposition of pre-petition collateral outside the ordinary course of business without the lender's consent or court approval; appointment of a trustee or examiner with operational authority; and conversion or dismissal of the Debtor's Chapter 11 case. A copy of the interim order is available at https://h1.nu/1v9ct from PacerMonitor.com. About North Texas Fiber Inc.

NUWELLIS INC: Raises $3.4MM Through Registered Direct Offering -------------------------------------------------------------- Nuwellis, Inc. said in a regulatory filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that, on July 31, 2026, it entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to such investor in a registered direct offering an aggregate of 1,310,890 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company, at a purchase price of $2.59 per share. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company also agreed to issue and sell to such Purchasers, in a concurrent private placement, warrants to purchase up to 1,310,890 shares of Common Stock. The Common Warrants have an exercise price of $2.59 per share, are immediately exercisable, and expire on the fifth anniversary on the effective date of the registration statement to be filed for the purpose of registering the Common Warrant Shares. The Shares in the Registered Offering were being sold pursuant to the Company's effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-280647), including a base prospectus contained therein, which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 1, 2024, and was declared effective by the SEC on July 9, 2024, and a related prospectus supplement, dated July 31, 2026. The Registered Offering and Private Placement closed on Aug. 3, 2026. The gross proceeds to the Company from the Offerings are expected to be approximately $3.4 million, before deducting placement agent commissions and other offering expenses. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company, including for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties, and termination provisions. The representations, warranties, and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made only for the purposes of such agreement and, as of the specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties. In the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or file any registration statement or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, for five trading days after the closing date of the Offering. In addition, the Company has agreed not to effect or enter into an agreement to effect any issuance of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock involving a Variable Rate Transaction for 90 days after the closing date of the Offering, subject to certain exceptions. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement providing for the resale of the Common Warrant Shares within 30 calendar days of the Closing Date and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective within 60 days (or 90 days in the event of a "full review" by the SEC) and to keep such registration statement effective at all times until the time that the investor no longer owns any Common Warrants or Common Warrant Shares. Placement Agency Agreement In connection with the Offerings, the Company also entered into a placement agency agreement, dated July 31, 2026, with Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent a cash fee equal to 9.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offerings and reimburse the Placement Agent for certain expenses and legal fees. The Company also agreed to issue to the Placement Agent warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, equal to 3.0% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued in the Offerings. The Placement Agent Warrants have substantially the same terms as the Common Warrants being offered in the Private Placement, except that the Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price that is 165% of the public offering price per share ($4.2735 per share). The Placement Agency Agreement also includes customary indemnification and contribution provisions in favor of the Placement Agent.

OUISI INCORPORATED: Unsecureds Will Get 0.9% of Claims in Plan -------------------------------------------------------------- OuiSi Incorporated filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York a Small Business Plan of Reorganization under Subchapter V dated July 23, 2026. The Debtor is a Delaware C corporation headquartered in the Hudson Valley region of New York. The company designs, develops, markets, and distributes visually oriented photo games in both digital and physical formats. Its products are manufactured in facilities in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Paul Brillinger serves as the company's Chief Executive Officer and super-majority shareholder. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection to stop creditor pressure, maintain operations, and restructure its financial obligations after a cybersecurity incident caused significant revenue losses. On October 31, 2023, the company experienced a Facebook account hack and malicious takeover that disrupted its primary marketing channel on Meta platforms during the critical holiday selling season. Because the business relied heavily on Meta advertising for customer acquisition, the incident significantly reduced revenue and resulted in unprofitability entering 2024. The financial impact of the cybersecurity incident limited the company's ability to raise capital or invest in marketing, personnel, channel diversification, and product development. This left the business heavily dependent on Meta advertising and contributed to continued unprofitability in 2024. The company also became unable to pay Panda Manufacturing, which produced its physical products, and Panda's demand for immediate payment led to the need for court-supervised restructuring. The Debtor believes the Chapter 11 process will provide time to preserve the business, continue operations, and restructure its obligations. Reorganization Plan * The plan will be funded through the Plan Distribution Fund, with an initial payment on the Effective Date followed by quarterly payments over five years. * Implementation will be carried out by the Debtor in accordance with the confirmed plan. Treatment of Claims * Class 3 Allowed Unsecured Claims: -- Total unsecured claims are approximately $1,622,146.07. -- Holders of allowed unsecured claims will receive quarterly pro rata distributions from the Plan -- Distribution Fund after the Class 1 claim has been paid in full. -- Unsecured creditors are expected to receive up to 0.9% of their allowed claims, without interest. -- The actual distribution depends on factors including the success of the Debtor's business after confirmation. -- Class 3 is impaired, and holders are entitled to vote on the plan. * Class 4 Equity Interest Holders: -- Consists of Paul Brillinger and Curious Catalyst Trust. -- Equity holders will not receive distributions but will retain their respective ownership interests in the company. -- Class 4 is impaired, and equity holders are entitled to vote on the plan.

Care OK'd --------------------------------------------------------------- The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware has granted Pacifica of the Valley Corporation to sell HQAF receivables, free and clear of liens, claims, interests, and encumbrances. The Debtor -- the operator of a safety-net hospital, a Subacute Skilled Nursing Facility, and Behavioral Health Urgent Care Clinic -- requests authority to sell to L.A. Care $5 million in future receivables that it is owed under the Hospital Quality Assurance Fees program (HQAF), which will in turn provide the Debtor with immediate liquidity to maintain hospital operations, pay employees, and continue serving its patients and community. By way of background, LA Care -- the nation's largest publicly operated health plan and the largest provider of Medi-Cal (California's version of Medicaid) to low-income residents -- receives the managed care portion of the HQAF monies to be paid to the Debtor and then transmits the monies to the Debtor. Prior to the Petition Date, in two other instances, LA Care purchased HQAF future receivables from the Debtor before actually receiving the HQAF monies to allow the Debtor earlier access to funds to support its operation. The Debtor seeks to sell the HQAF receivables to the Local Initiative Health Authority for Los Angeles County, which operates as L.A. Care Health Plan. The Court has authorized the Debtor to sell the HQAF receivables to L.A. Care Health Plan. The Sale and the Post Petition Purchase Agreement are approved in all respects. L.A. Care is a good-faith purchaser and is entitled to all protections afforded. L.A. Care shall have a valid and allowed administrative expense claim against the Debtor's estate for all reasonable and documented fees and expenses incurred by L.A. Care in connection with the negotiation, documentation, approval, implementation, and consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Post-Petition Purchase Agreement and the Order.

PACIFICA OF THE VALLEY: U.S. Trustee Appoints Jerry Seelig as PCO ----------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew R. Vara, the U.S. Trustee for Region 3, appointed Jerry Seelig as patient care ombudsman for Pacifica of the Valley Corporation. The PCO is tasked to perform the duties required under section 333 of the Bankruptcy Code and as set forth in the court's July 27 order.

PLATES RESTAURANT: To Sell Restaurant Business to Amira G. Rose --------------------------------------------------------------- The Plates Restaurant, LLC, dba Asher & Rose Grocer, seeks approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Georgia, Atlanta Division, to sell substantially all Assets, free and clear of liens, claims, interests, and encumbrances. For over a decade, the Debtor operated an Italian restaurant called Piastra on the square in Marietta, Georgia. Following the opening of multiple new Italian restaurants in Piastra's vicinity, the Debtor decided to pursue a different business concept and open Asher & Rose Grocer, an upscale food market, farm-to-table restaurant, and catering service. The Debtor closed Piastra in late 2025 in order to complete a buildout and reopen as Asher & Rose Grocer in the same commercial space in January 2026. The buildout ran significantly over budget and once the Business opened, sales were much slower than anticipated. The Debtor turned to merchant cash advance loans to help it cover costs, but the debt service payments on the MCA loans only exacerbated the Debtor’s problems, putting it in a position of being unable to afford its operating expenses. Accordingly, the Debtor was forced to file for bankruptcy relief to obtain the breathing room needed to reorganize its operations. After careful consideration, the Debtor decided to sell substantially all of its assets in order to maximize the value of its assets for creditors. The Debtor employs Schumacher Group, Inc. as broker to ensure that the Debtor receives the maximum possible purchase price for its Assets. The Debtor wishes to sell the Assets to Amira G. Rose. The sale price pursuant to the Agreement is $150,000.00. The sale of Purchased Assets is to be free and clear of any and all liens, claims, interests and encumbrances, with these to attach to the net proceeds generated from the sale of the Purchased Assets to the extent valid, perfected and enforceable. The Debtor will consider all higher and better offers that are received prior to the Sale, however the Debtor's cash position is quickly diminishing, and the Debtor must act quickly to avoid having to close its doors altogether. The Debtor also seeks authorization to close a sale to any backup bidder upon terms substantially similar to those in the Agreement, should the Purchaser terminate the Agreement. The Purchaser will assume all obligations that arise after the closing date under the Assigned Lease for which the Purchaser accepts an assignment.

QUALITY FRESCA I: Seeks Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in Florida -------------------------------------------------------- Bondoro reports that Quality Fresca I, LLC, which operates Moe's Southwest Grill restaurants in Florida, sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Aug. 4, 2026, in the Southern District of Florida. The company attributed its financial distress to sustained declines in restaurant traffic following the pandemic, higher operating expenses, labor shortages, inflation and weaker margins. Bankruptcy schedules list $1 million to $10 million in assets and $10 million to $50 million in liabilities, with anticipated recoveries for unsecured creditors. The restaurant operator spent several years attempting to improve its financial position by amending its senior credit agreement and closing underperforming restaurants. Its footprint declined from 69 restaurants at the end of 2020 to 38 operating locations by the petition date. Although certain stores remained profitable, losses at weaker locations prevented the company from meeting debt obligations and financial covenant requirements. The restructuring became more complicated after PNC Bank transferred the company's secured debt to affiliate GR Loanco 1 LLC, which later provided additional insider financing before the bankruptcy filing. Meanwhile, the company continued discussions with franchisor GoTo Foods regarding royalty obligations and restaurant closures after being declared in default under its franchise agreements in 2025. Through Chapter 11, Quality Fresca plans to reduce its lease portfolio, exit unprofitable restaurants and reorganize around its strongest locations. It also requested court approval for $1.6 million in DIP financing, continued use of cash collateral and various operational motions designed to support its approximately 603 employees during the restructuring process. About Quality Fresca I, LLC Quality Fresca I, LLC is a Florida-based restaurant operator headquartered in Palm Beach. The company is one of the franchisees of Moe's Southwest Grill, operating fast-casual restaurants that offer made-to-order Mexican-inspired cuisine. Its business centers on restaurant operations, customer service and franchise development while complying with the operating standards established by Moe's Franchisor SPV LLC and its parent company, GoTo Foods. Quality Fresca I, LLC sought relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. S.D. Fla. Case No. 26-20345) on August 4, 2026.

RAMBO TRANSPORT: Gets OK to Use Cash Collateral Until Aug. 28 ------------------------------------------------------------- Rambo Transport, Inc. got the green light from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of California, Fresno Division, to use cash collateral. At the August 4 hearing, the court authorized the Debtor's interim use of cash collateral through August 28. To avoid immediate operational collapse and preserve estate value, the Debtor needs to utilize ongoing revenues that may be encumbered by a broad 2022 pre-petition lien held by Business Services Company, LLC, as representative. As adequate protection for its secured lenders, the Debtor offers granting valid, fully perfected post-petition replacement liens on estate assets and post-petition proceeds, alongside superpriority administrative expense claims under Bankruptcy Code Section 507(b) to cover any potential post-petition diminution in collateral value. Rambo Transport experienced severe financial distress beginning in 2025 due to low freight market rates, rising fuel and insurance costs, driver shortages, and revenue losses from three equipment accidents.

If these liens are insufficient to protect against any diminution in collateral value, the lender is granted a superpriority administrative claim under Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Events of default include unauthorized use of cash collateral, material breaches of the order, intentional misrepresentations in financial reporting, or dismissal or conversion of the Chapter 11 cases. If an uncured default occurs after the required notice period, the Debtors' authority to use cash collateral terminates immediately. A copy of the court's order and the Debtor's budget is available at https://shorturl.at/7VQXj from PacerMonitor.com. A final hearing is scheduled for August 11.

SALAD AND GO: Seeks Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, Shuts Down 70 Stores --------------------------------------------------------------- Julie Littman of Retail Dive reports that Salad and Go LLC filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and permanently shut down all 70 of its restaurants on Aug. 5, 2026, according to the company. The bankruptcy case was filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. Company officials cited persistent declines in customer demand, escalating costs and the lingering effects of past expansion decisions as the primary reasons for the filing. The restaurant chain, established in 2013, had already been reducing its footprint after closing dozens of restaurants in Texas and Oklahoma earlier this year. Chief Executive Officer Michael Tattersfield, who joined the company in 2025, previously said the chain's rapid Texas expansion strained operations because its centralized production model was not built to efficiently support such growth, the report relays. Despite consolidating operations at its Phoenix headquarters and investing in menu innovation, food quality and guest experience, Salad and Go was unable to reverse its financial losses. The company said Chapter 11 will allow it to monetize its assets and address liabilities in an organized court-supervised process, according to report. The bankruptcy underscores ongoing challenges across the restaurant sector, where inflation and weakened consumer spending continue to pressure operators. Several restaurant brands and franchisees, including On the Border, Hardee's, Carl's Jr. and Applebee's operators, have entered bankruptcy proceedings during 2026, Retail Dive reports. About Salad and Go LLC Founded in 2013, Salad and Go LLC is an Arizona-based fast-food restaurant chain offering fresh salads, wraps, breakfast items and handcrafted beverages. The company built its business around small-footprint drive-thru restaurants supported by centralized commissary kitchens that prepare ingredients for multiple locations. Salad and Go LLC and affiliates sought relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. S.D. Tex. Case No. 26-90753) on August 4, 2026. In its petition, the Debtor reports $500 million to $1 billion in both assets and liabilities. The Debtors are represented by Omar J. Alaniz, Esq. of Reed Smith. The Debtors' Financial Advisor/CRO is Douglas Brickley of Stout Risius Ross, LLC, and its Claims Agent is Kroll Restructuring Administration LLC. SALEM POINTE: Amends Unsecured Claims Pay Details ------------------------------------------------- The Club at Rarity Bay, Inc. and BEP Rarity Bay, LLC (collectively the "Plan Proponent") submitted a Third Amended Disclosure Statement for Plan of Reorganization dated July 24, 2026. Salem Pointe Capital, LLC is a Tennessee limited liability company organized in 2014. The company is wholly owned by Michael Ayers and Amy Ayers, and its principal office is located in Vonore, Tennessee. The Debtor owns, operates, manages, and develops the real estate, recreational, golf, country club, hospitality, and development assets associated with the Rarity Bay master-planned residential community and country club in Loudon and Monroe Counties, Tennessee. According to the Plan Proponent, the Chapter 11 filing was not caused by declining operating revenues or secured debt obligations. Instead, the Debtor experienced liquidity problems resulting from extensive litigation, governance disputes, and uncertainty over declarant rights, collection rights, membership obligations, and related contractual rights. These disputes generated significant professional expenses and consumed substantial management resources. On June 4, 2026, the Chapter 11 Trustee filed a second motion seeking approval of procedures to sell certain assets, establish sale procedures, approve notices, and authorize the assumption and assignment of certain executory contracts and leases. Multiple parties objected to the motion. Following hearings in June 2026, the Bankruptcy Court approved the sale procedures, established deadlines, and ruled that RBP could not credit bid its asserted secured claim. The Court set a July 23, 2026 deadline for bids and scheduled an auction for August 6, 2026 if more than one qualified bid was received. As of the disclosure statement, the Trustee had received four qualified bids, all of which indicated an intent to assume the existing membership agreements of current club members. Classification of Claims Class 10 General Unsecured Claims: * Holders of allowed claims will receive cash through: -- Annual pro rata distributions from the Reorganized Debtor's guaranteed Class 10 payment. -- Distributions from the General Unsecured Claims (GUC) Trust. -- Additional payments if the secured claim of RBP (Class 2) is reduced or disallowed. * If RBP's secured claim is disallowed in full, funds otherwise payable will be escrowed until the claim objection is resolved. Upon final disallowance, holders of allowed Class 10 claims will receive: -- Escrowed amounts, and -- $4.3 million, paid in quarterly installments of $107,500 over 40 consecutive quarters, beginning with the first full calendar quarter after the effective date. * If RBP's secured claim is allowed in an amount less than $7,042,000, the Reorganized Debtor will pay Class 10 claimholders the difference between the allowed secured claim and $7,042,000, in equal quarterly installments over 40 consecutive quarters. Class 14 Equity Security Holders: * This class is impaired and deemed to reject the plan. * All existing equity interests will be canceled on the plan's effective date. * Existing equity holders will receive no property or interest in the reorganized Debtor based on their prior ownership. * The plan also states that no member of TCRB will be individually or personally liable for the debts of the Reorganized Debtor. Sale of Property to BEP Under the plan, the Reorganized Debtor will convey certain real property to BEP for $1 million, together with additional settlement consideration described in the plan. The property includes: * 51 lots in Phase 17 near Turnstone Lane, * 8 lots near Shearwater Drive, * Approximately 3 acres near the community garden and dog park, and * Approximately 11.2 acres near Keeble Road. The stated purchase price was based on BEP's internal valuation, taking into account the property's location, its inability to be annexed into the Rarity Bay development, and the absence of agreements providing access, utility connections, or use of Rarity Bay amenities for much of the property. The Plan Proponent intends to present expert valuation testimony supporting this valuation at the confirmation hearing.

The Disclosure Statement is conditionally approved as containing adequate information in accordance with section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code and is subject to final approval of the Court at the Combined Hearing. The Debtor's request for a Combined Hearing on the final approval of the Disclosure Statement and confirmation of the Plan, and the following Confirmation Schedule, are approved: * Sept. 1, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. is fixed as the deadline by which ballots must be received in order to be considered as acceptances or rejections of the Plan. * Sept. 4, 2026 is fixed as the date by which the Debtor shall file the Report of Plan Voting.

As shared by the Troubled Company Reporter, the Debtor is a real estate investor that purchased a property at a sheriff sale encumbered with real estate taxes and water liens. The City of Philadelphia scheduled a tax sale on the property and thus, the Debtor was forced to file this instant small business bankruptcy. The Debtor's Plan will pay the City of Philadelphia on the past due real estate taxes through the proposed plan. The Debtor owns other properties and is current on the mortgage payments to those lenders. Any pre-petition arrears except for the tax debt to the City are de minimus and are also included in the Plan. The Plan will pay all pre-petition secured claims in full. There are no post petition claims to be paid. Administrative claims will be paid as they are incurred and approved by this Court. There are no general unsecured creditors to be paid through the plan. Payments and distributions under the Plan will be funded by the rental income to the Debtor. The Plan Proponent believes that the Debtor will have enough cash on hand on the effective date of the Plan to pay all the claims and expenses that are entitled to be paid on that date. The proponent's financial projections show that the Debtor will have an aggregate annual average cash flow, after paying operating expenses and postconfirmation taxes, of $2,688. The final Plan payment is expected to be paid in September of 2031.

SEABREEZE ROOFING: Court Extends Cash Collateral Access to Aug. 28 ------------------------------------------------------------------ SeaBreeze Roofing & Sheet Metal, Inc. was granted another extension by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida, West Palm Beach Division, to use cash collateral. The court entered a second interim order authorizing the Debtor to use cash collateral through August 28 to pay expenses based on the approved budget, subject to a 10% variance per line item. The Debtor is required to continue escrowing $1,500 per month for the future payment of the Subchapter V Trustee's fees and expenses.

Secured creditors including the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), Stone Bank, Global Merchant Cash, Itria Ventures, Corporation Service Company, and Financial Agent Services will be granted replacement liens on the Debtor's post-petition personal property to the extent their cash collateral is used.

SILVER STATE: Files Emergency Bid to Use Cash Collateral -------------------------------------------------------- Silver State Building Systems, LLC asks the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada for emergency authorization to use cash collateral and provide adequate protection. The Debtor, a Las Vegas-based drywall and framing contractor owned and controlled by Rocky Angotti, seeks urgent court approval to use its cash collateral to keep operations running. The Debtor filed its voluntary bankruptcy petition primarily to halt aggressive collection actions by Mulligan Funding, which serviced and enforced a June 2025 business loan originally issued by FinWise Bank. Although nominal funding was $1.5 million at high interest rates, Mulligan Funding obtained a confession of judgment in a Utah state court for over $2 million and served a writ of garnishment on Bank of America to seize at least $149,923 from the Debtor's operating accounts. Silver State contends that these garnished funds remain property of the bankruptcy estate because the statutory 21-day holding period prescribed under Utah law had not expired prior to the bankruptcy filing, leaving Mulligan Funding with only an inchoate judicial lien. Furthermore, the Debtor asserts that no creditor holds a validly perfected security interest in its deposit accounts due to the absence of a deposit account control agreement. The Debtor's legal counsel challenges the legitimacy of Mulligan Funding's underlying claim on several fronts. First, the Debtor argues that the merchant cash advance arrangement, though styled as a sale of future receivables, constitutes a traditional loan that fails to grant any security interest in post-petition receivables under 11 U.S.C. Section 552(a). Second, the filing points out potential choice-of-law issues, asserting that applying non-Utah law could render the transaction void due to criminally usurious rates. Third, the Debtor claims the huge disparity between the actual funds provided and the total repayment demand renders the obligation avoidable as a fraudulent transfer under Section 502(d). To satisfy the requirements for adequate protection, the Debtor offers to limit its cash expenditures strictly to ordinary business operations following a designated budget subject to a 10% monthly variance. It also proposes granting Mulligan Funding replacement liens and a superpriority claim, but only to the extent of any actual post-petition decrease in the value of validly perfected prepetition collateral. The Debtor emphasizes that without immediate access to cash collateral, it will suffer irreparable harm, face operational shutdown, and fail in its reorganization efforts. It also requests a waiver of the standard fourteen-day stay under Bankruptcy Rule 6004(h) so that the interim order becomes effective immediately upon entry.

SIMAD HOLDINGS: Owner Seeks to Junk Ch.11 After Losing Counsel -------------------------------------------------------------- Hilary Russ of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that one of the brothers behind the failed SIMAD Holdings summer camp operation has asked a New Jersey bankruptcy judge to dismiss his personal Chapter 11 bankruptcy, saying he has been unable to retain a new lawyer after losing his previous counsel.

In court filings, the debtor said his search for replacement counsel has been unsuccessful, leaving him unable to properly administer the Chapter 11 process or satisfy the legal requirements imposed on debtors.

SLEEP NUMBER: Closes $529.5 Million Asset Sale to SNBR Inc. ----------------------------------------------------------- Sleep Number Corporation said in a regulatory filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that, on July 31, 2026, the Company and its subsidiaries consummated and closed the sale of substantially all of the Company's assets to SNBR, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sleep Country Canada Inc., pursuant to the Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement. Cash proceeds from the Asset Sale were $529.5 million, of which: (i) approximately $267.4 million were distributed to repay the debtor-in-possession term loans and roll-up loans provided by certain of the Company's prepetition lenders, together with certain other fees and expenses, and (ii) $10 million was deposited into an escrow account to settle post-closing adjustments pursuant to the Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement. The Company does not expect that there will be any proceeds available for distribution to the Company's stockholders either in connection with the Asset Sale or the ultimate settlement of claims under the plan of liquidation. Upon effectiveness of the plan, the Company's outstanding common stock will be cancelled. Background On June 12, 2026, the Company and its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, jointly administered under the caption In re: Sleep Number Corporation, et al., Case No. 26-11399.

SPIRIT AIRLINES: $18M Sale of Detroit Airport Hangar Space OK'd --------------------------------------------------------------- Vince Sullivan of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that a New York bankruptcy judge has authorized Spirit Aviation Holdings Inc. to sell its hangar space at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport for $18 million, marking another step in the bankrupt airline's asset disposition strategy. The approval follows the consent of the airport's owner, the Wayne County Airport Authority, to transfer the lease. The hangar sale is one of several transactions Spirit has pursued to maximize recoveries for creditors after entering Chapter 11. By securing the airport authority's approval, the debtor cleared a key hurdle that allowed the lease assignment and sale to move forward, the report states. According to court filings, the transaction will eliminate ongoing obligations tied to the property while generating significant proceeds for the bankruptcy estate. Spirit has been selling various aviation-related assets as part of its broader restructuring and liquidation efforts. The judge approved the agreement after determining that it was negotiated at arm's length and reflects sound business judgment. The sale proceeds will be used in accordance with the priorities established in the Chapter 11 case, Law360 reports. About Spirit Aviation Holdings Inc. Spirit Aviation Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries operate Spirit Airlines, a U.S.-based low-cost carrier providing air transportation services across the United States, Latin America, and the Caribbean.

SUNEDISON INC: Expeditors Int'l, et al., Lose Summary Judgment Bid ------------------------------------------------------------------ Judge David S. Jones of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York denied the motion for summary judgment filed by Expeditors International, Expeditors International Inc., Expeditors International of Washington, Inc., and Expeditors International (UK) Ltd. in the adversary proceeding captioned as DRIVETRAIN, LLC, IN ITS CAPACITY AS TRUSTEE OF THE SUNEDISON LITIGATION TRUST, Plaintiff, – against – EXPEDITORS INTERNATIONAL, EXPEDITORS INTERNATIONAL INC., EXPEDITORS INTERNATIONAL OF WASHINGTON, INC., AND EXPEDITORS INTERNATIONAL (UK) LTD., Defendants, Adv. Pro. No. 19-01110 (DSJ) (Bankr. S.D.N.Y.). The Trustee's cross-motion for partial summary judgment is granted. The motion seeks summary judgment to dismiss the complaint filed by Drivetrain, LLC, in its capacity as Trustee ("Plaintiff" or "Trustee") of the SunEdison Litigation Trust The SunEdison Litigation Trust has brought this and other actions to recover alleged preferential transfers and/or fraudulent conveyances paid by the debtors prior to the bankruptcy filings. This action concerns various payments made to a group of related defendants that provided delivery, warehousing, and similar services to debtors. The main issues raised by defendants' motion is whether the action is time-barred by virtue of a post-petition agreement to shorten the time to take certain actions, and whether the defendants hold valid security interests in the amounts they received, with the legal consequence that the payments they received are not subject to avoidance or recovery by the Trustee as a matter of law. The Trustee cross-moved for partial summary judgment solely on the question of the timeliness of its action. The Trustee challenges the validity of the agreement, arguing that it does not constitute a transaction that is in the ordinary course of business and that, therefore, the Debtors were required to provide notice to creditors and obtain Court authorization to enter the agreement, neither of which occurred. The Trustee argues that even if the agreement was valid, it does not bar the Trustee's claims because it was written to only apply to the "Debtors" and not the Trustee, and because the agreement does not address avoidance actions, instead referring only to claims that would challenge the validity, extent, perfection or priority of Expeditors' pre-petition claims or liens. The Court agrees with the Trustee that the claims are not time-barred. The Trustee's cross-motion for partial summary judgment on the issue of whether the applicable statute of limitation was validly shortened by agreement of the parties is granted. Alternatively, Defendants seek summary judgment on the Trustee's preference claims on the theory that Expeditors was a fully secured creditor on account of carrier's liens (including maritime liens and replacement liens) and warehouse liens that Expeditors held "at all relevant times." The Trustee did not cross-move on this portion of the motion, arguing merely that this issue presents a question for trial. The Court finds summary judgment based on Defendants' lien defense would be improper because the Trustee has demonstrated the presence of a genuine dispute of material facts as to the ownership of the asserted collateral.

TATTI VINO: To Sell Restaurant Assets to KSKM Investments --------------------------------------------------------- Tatti Vino, Inc., seeks approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, to sell Property, free and clear of liens, claims, interests, and encumbrances. The Debtor's Property is located at 5311 Corunna Road, Flint, Michigan 48532. The Assets include the equipment, inventory, one liquor license, goodwill, trade name, recipes, intellectual property, and other intangibles directly associated with Ruggero's Flint and the Sullivan's Wedding and Catering business run from that location.

Proposed purchaser, KSKM Investments, LLC, agrees to purchase the Assets for $100,000.00. The Proposed Purchaser has already paid $50,000.00 as a deposit to be applied toward the purchase price. The remaining $50,000.00 will be due at closing. The Proposed Purchaser and its owner are not affiliated with the Debtor, the Debtor's owners or employees, or any other insider. Ruggero's Flint will remain open and operating throughout the sale process. Charles Mouranie was appointed as the Subchapter V Trustee in the case. The Debtor filed the case primarily to address significant accrued tax obligations. The obligations accumulated while the Debtor experienced the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent inflation, which materially increased operating costs and reduced discretionary customer spending. At the Petition Date, the Debtor operated two restaurant businesses: Sullivan's Food and Spirits in Saginaw, Michigan, and Ruggero’s Flint in Flint, Michigan. The Michigan Department of Treasury is the only creditor holding a perfected lien against the Assets. Ruggero's Flint operates at 5311 Corunna Road, Flint, Michigan 48532.

Under the proposed procedure, the Debtor will not accept bids for individual Assets unless the value of several single asset bids collectively exceeds $100,000.00. Subject to Court approval, the Debtor proposes that the Assets be sold to KSKM Investments, LLC, the Proposed Purchaser The Deposit shall be applied towards the purchase price at closing. All assets are to be sold AS-IS and WHERE-IS with no warranty. The Proposed Purchaser shall assume responsibility for the payment of the costs of the Debtor’s operations and shall pay all expenses associated with operations on and after August 5, 2026. The Proposed Purchaser will not assume the Debtor's lease or any other executory contract. It must negotiate its own occupancy arrangement with the landlord. The Debtor will serve the Notice of Proposed Sale, Conditional Auction, and Sale Hearing on all creditors and parties in interest and on every person or entity known to have expressed an interest in the Assets. If one or more qualifying bids are received, the Debtor will conduct an auction on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, beginning at 12:00 p.m. (prevailing Eastern Time), at the offices of Winegarden, Haley, Lindholm, Tucker & Himelhoch, P.L.C., 9460 South Saginaw Road, Suite A, Grand Blanc, Michigan 48439, or at nother location identified by the Debtor. Qualified bidders may participate remotely if arrangements are made with Debtor's counsel by the Bid Deadline. About Tatti Vino Inc.

TAYLOR CONSTRUCTION: Gets Final OK to Use Cash Collateral --------------------------------------------------------- Taylor Construction and Remodeling, LLC received final approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of Illinois, Peoria Division for the continued use of cash collateral. Under the final order, the Debtor is authorized to use cash collateral, including accounts receivable and deposit accounts, throughout the Chapter 11 case. The funds must be spent substantially in accordance with the cash collateral budget. As adequate protection, the court authorized any creditor that later establishes a valid and perfected security interest in the Debtor's cash collateral to receive a post-petition replacement lien on the Debtor's accounts receivable and other cash collateral. These replacement liens will have the same priority and extent as the creditors' pre-petition liens, but they will be subordinate to a $5,000 carveout established to secure payment of any allowed compensation for the Subchapter V trustee. The order does not determine or admit the validity, extent, or perfection of any creditor's liens on the Debtor's assets. Instead, it preserves all parties' rights to litigate those issues later, while allowing the Debtor to use cash collateral and continue operating during the bankruptcy proceedings.

TERAWULF INC: S&P Affirms 'BB-' ICR, Alters Outlook to Stable ------------------------------------------------------------- S&P Global Ratings affirmed the 'BB-' issuer credit rating (ICR) on TeraWulf Inc. and revised its outlook on TeraWulf to stable from positive to reflect the uncertainty surrounding the financing mix for the Hawesville campus, the level of construction risk, and the credit profile of the lease counterparty. S&P said, "The stable outlook reflects our view that rating upside over the next year is limited by ongoing development risk and associated uncertainty around financial policy. "At the same time, we assigned our 'BB-' ICR to WULF Compute which carries a positive outlook due to structural protections that allow for the ICR of the subsidiary to be rated up to one notch above the parent, such that we are likely to raise the rating upon construction completion." TeraWulf Inc. has signed a 20-year, $19 billion lease with Anthropic (not rated) for a new 401-megawatt (MW) AI data center campus in Hawesville, Kentucky which introduces uncertainty around construction risk and counterparty credit quality while improving geographic diversity and weighted average contract life. In addition, S&P views the sale of the company's interest in the Abernathy, Texas joint venture as a modest credit positive, providing additional liquidity. The outlook revision reflects the mixed impact of the new Anthropic lease. It improves TeraWulf's weighted-average lease term (WALT) and portfolio diversification while also introducing heightened development risk and exposure to an unrated counterparty. However, management has indicated that the lease will be supported by an investment-grade credit, which signals that there could be a lease enhancement if Anthropic remains unrated or is rated speculative-grade. The Hawesville facility is expected to support approximately 401 MW of compute load, with initial capacity launching in late 2027 and full capacity expected by early 2028. This constitutes about 48% of TeraWulf's total contracted revenue in 2029. S&P said, "While the long-term lease provides substantial revenue visibility, the transaction introduces construction risk that we intend to analyze separately. Construction risk is partially mitigated by TeraWulf's agreement with Fluor to support the design and construction of the Hawesville campus, the phased delivery structure and the site's existing power and transmission infrastructure. Furthermore, we're awaiting further details regarding the specific financing plans and the assessment of any potential credit enhancement on the Anthropic lease." If the Anthropic lease incorporates significant credit enhancement or if Anthropic obtains greater credit visibility, this could support a better business risk assessment. WULF Compute LLC (BB-/Positive) is partially insulated from TeraWulf, its ultimate parent.There are structural protections that limit the parent's ability to extract resources from the subsidiaries to some degree. WULF Compute holds itself out as a separate entity, its financial performance and funding are highly independent from the group, there is no significant operational dependence on other group entities, it maintains its own records and funding arrangements, and it doesn't commingle funds, assets, or cash flow. In addition, lease payments flow into a lockbox account controlled by the collateral agent and are distributed through a waterfall that includes operating expenses, mandatory debt amortization, interest expenses, and excess cash flow offers, in that order. WULF Compute's ratings could improve upon full construction completion. If the project's construction is completed on time, WULF Compute could benefit from up to one notch of insulation from parent TeraWulf. Successful project delivery would also likely improve the recovery prospects of the WULF Compute notes, as the full backstop from Google LLC would take effect. The stable outlook reflects the transformative nature of the 20-year Anthropic lease and its positive impact on WALT, balanced against the uncertainty surrounding the financing structure and the increased development risk. S&P could lower its rating on TeraWulf if Anthropic is unable to achieve sufficient credit enhancement and the transaction is financed aggressively, such that: -- FFO to debt remains below 7%; or -- EBITDA to interest coverage remains below 1.5x. S&P could also consider a downgrade if construction risk at the Hawesville site is elevated beyond a level appropriate for the rating. Although less likely over the next year given uncertainties around ongoing development and financial policies, S&P could raise its rating on TeraWulf if it commits to sustaining the following credit metrics while continuing to improve business prospects: -- Debt to EBITDA below 6x; -- FFO to debt above 9%; and -- EBITDA to interest coverage above 1.75x. TOOELE VALLEY: Court Grants Bid to Use Cash Collateral ------------------------------------------------------ Tooele Valley Counseling, PLLC received interim approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Utah, Central Division, to use cash collateral. The Debtor needs to use cash collateral to pay critical, ordinary-course operating expenses—including payroll, facility rent, bookkeeping, software, and general operational needs—essential to preserving its going-concern value and patient care. The Debtor identifies two asserted interest holders: Fenix Capital Funding, LLC, which asserts an interest in receivables based on a September 11, 2025 agreement and holds a $121,500 confession of judgment (though the Debtor reserves all rights to challenge lien validity and characterization), and Utah MicroLoan, which holds a UCC lien securing a business loan with a payoff balance of approximately $820. As adequate protection, the Debtor offers granting replacement liens on post-petition cash and accounts receivable strictly limited to the actual diminution in value of the creditors' valid prepetition interests, excluding avoidance actions and their proceeds. The four-week cash flow budget projects total receipts of $60,000 and disbursements of $64,595. Additionally, the Debtor requests standard budget variance flexibility (up to 10% on individual line items, capped at 5% above aggregate budget disbursements) and asks the Court to schedule a final hearing to consider approval on a permanent basis.

As of July 2026, the facility remains operational at its Sterrett Road location and has sought emergency court approval to continue employee payroll and maintain banking operations during its Chapter 11 restructuring. Traces of Tiger, Inc. sought relief under Subchapter V of Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. Case No. 26-21072) on July 6, 2026. In its petition, the Debtor reported estimated assets of up to $50,000 and estimated liabilities between $1 million and $10 million. The Debtor is represented by Caitlyn Powers of Rountree Leitman Klein & Geer, LLC. Tamara Miles Ogier is appointed as Subchapter V Trustee. TRM NRE: To Sell Locomotive to LHAGS Inc. for $2.1MM ---------------------------------------------------- The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware has permitted TRM NRE Holding LLC and its affiliates, to sell Property, free and clear off liens, claims, interests, and encumbrances. The Debtors are one of the world's leading independent providers of locomotive and rail equipment services. As set forth in the First Day Declaration, the Debtors intend to exit their manufacturing and operating site located in Paducah, Kentucky. They now intend to do that by no later than August 27, 2026, as part of an agreement in principle with their landlord. The intended exit from the Paducah Facility will generate substantial positive EBITDA for the Debtors' business. The safe, effective, and timely removal of all locomotives, engines, machinery and equipment, parts, and other inventory from the Paducah Facility is a complex operational process. In connection with this exit, the Debtors began marketing the Purchased Locomotive Assets and other parts, machinery, and equipment located at the Paducah Facility on or around April 2026. The Debtors engaged Biggs, a locomotive industry expert who was familiar with the Debtors’ assets, to assist in the marketing and sale process. Following arm's-length, hard fought, and good-faith negotiations with multiple bidders, the Debtors determined that the Buyer's, LHAGS Inc., offer to acquire the Purchased Locomotive Assets constituted the highest or otherwise best offer received by the Debtors, and the Debtors agreed to sell the Locomotives to the Buyer for a cash purchase price of $2.1 million. The Purchase Agreement also provides for the Buyer to fund $1 million of the Purchase Price as a deposit upon signing—which the Debtors have received. Because any acquisition of the Purchased Locomotive Assets necessarily requires substantial preparation, investment, and effort to complete the physical removal of the purchased locomotive assets—in various states of repair—from the Paducah Facility, it is imperative that the Paducah Locomotives Sale be implemented as soon as possible to maximize value. The Debtors believe that a strong business justification exists for the private sale of the Purchased Locomotive Assets. The Debtors' decision to pursue the Paducah Locomotives Sale on a private sale basis is supported by the facts and circumstances of the case. The Purchased Locomotive Assets may be sold free and clear of liens, claims, encumbrances, and other interests. The Debtors believe that the private sale of the Purchased Locomotive Assets should be consummated as soon as practicable to preserve and maximize value and ensure an optimal exit from the Paducah Facility.

TWO FISH: Gets Extension to Access Cash Collateral -------------------------------------------------- Two Fish Partners, Inc. received fourth interim approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division, to use cash collateral. Under the fourth interim order, the Debtor is authorized to use cash collateral through September 16 to fund operations during the bankruptcy case based on a court-approved budget. This authorization remains in effect until further order of the court. WSFS Bank, the Debtor's primary secured creditor, claims a blanket lien on the Debtor's cash and inventory under a UCC-1 financing statement. The bank is owed approximately $4.28 million, secured by collateral valued at about $851,397, including $55,700 in cash and $795,696 in inventory and equipment. As adequate protection, WSFS Bank will receive automatically perfected post-petition replacement liens on cash collateral, with the same validity, extent, and priority as its pre-petition lien. Additional safeguards include insurance coverage, regular financial reporting, and access to business records and premises upon request. Under the interim order, customers, insurers, and other parties owing money to the Debtor are required to pay the Debtor directly regardless of any pre-petition payment instructions from merchant cash advance lenders. The interim relief is without prejudice to future requests for additional protection, restrictions on cash collateral use, or challenges to lien validity by a creditors' committee.

ULTINON MOTION: Plan Exclusivity Period Extended to Sept. 22 ------------------------------------------------------------ Judge Christopher Lopez of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas extended Ultinon Motion Holding B.V. and its Affiliated Debtors' exclusive periods to file a plan of reorganization and obtain acceptance thereof to Sept. 22 and Nov. 21, 2026, respectively. As shared by Troubled Company Reporter, the Debtors explain that Courts may consider a variety of factors in determining whether "cause" exists to extend a debtor's exclusive period for filing a plan. First, the size and complexity of the issues in these cases warrants approval of the requested relief. The Debtors' capital structure includes over $140 million in funded debt, and the administration of these Chapter 11 Cases has required the Debtors to navigate insolvency and liquidation proceedings across multiple foreign jurisdictions while managing the demands of an international creditor base. Second, termination of the Exclusive Periods would adversely impact the Debtors' efforts to preserve the value of their estates and progress the Chapter 11 Cases as they may potentially face the prospect of a competing plan in the event that the existing Plan is not confirmed on the currently anticipated timeline. Granting the requested extensions will thus ensure that the Debtors can work towards confirmation of the Plan and establishment of the Litigation Trust for the benefit of its creditors without the distraction, cost and delay of a potential competing plan process. Third, the progress that the Debtors have made in the Chapter 11 Cases, which has included obtaining conditional approval of the Disclosure Statement and obtaining a date for a hearing on confirmation of the Plan (the "Confirmation Hearing"), negotiating and filing the proposed Plan and commencing solicitation of votes with respect to same, evidences satisfaction of the third and fourth factors. Fourth, the Debtors do not seek the extension of the Exclusive Periods as a means to exert pressure on the relevant parties in interest. The Debtors seek the requested extension of the Exclusive Periods out of an abundance of caution simply to ensure the progress made to date is not upended by a potential loss of their Exclusive Periods in the event of unexpected delay. In the context of these Chapter 11 Cases, granting the requested extensions of the Exclusive Periods will not pressure the Debtors' creditor constituencies.

The court authorized interim use of the purported cash collateral of Byline Bank, Newtek Bank, National Association, and the U.S. Small Business Administration for the period from July 31 through September 4, in accordance with the budget, plus up to a 10% variance. The 30-day budget projects total operational expenses of $250,800 for July and August. As adequate protection, secured creditors will be granted replacement liens on any property acquired by the Debtor or the estate before and after the bankruptcy filing, with the same validity, priority, and enforceability as their pre-bankruptcy liens. The Debtor must maintain insurance, properly maintain collateral, provide access to books and records, and deliver profit-and-loss and budget-to-actual reports by 15 day of every month. The sixth interim order is available at https://shorturl.at/Uurfj from PacerMonitor.com. A further interim hearing is scheduled for August 31.

The Debtor owes Newtek and the SBA approximately $514,000 and $346,000, respectively. Vivian's Restaurant filed for Chapter 11 protection due to rising food costs and a post-COVID revenue decline, which forced it to rely on high-interest merchant cash advance loans with frequent repayments.

VOYAGER DIGITAL: NY Judge Rejects Chapter 11 Exculpation Provisions ------------------------------------------------------------------- Emlyn Cameron of Law360 Bankruptcy Authority reports that a New York federal judge has removed an exculpation clause from Voyager Digital Holdings Inc.'s confirmed Chapter 11 plan, ruling that the liability protections were overly broad despite not being foreclosed by the U.S. Supreme Court's Purdue Pharma decision. The court found the provision exceeded the scope of permissible bankruptcy exculpations. The judge distinguished exculpation provisions from third-party releases addressed by the Supreme Court but held that Voyager's language improperly sought to immunize parties beyond those entitled to such protections. The court concluded the provision was inconsistent with applicable bankruptcy law, the report states. The decision requires modifications to the restructuring plan while reinforcing limits on liability shields available in Chapter 11 cases. It also provides further guidance for debtors and creditors drafting post-Purdue Pharma reorganization plans, according to Law360. About Voyager Digital Holdings Based in Toronto, Canada, Voyager Digital Holdings Inc. -- https://www.investvoyager.com/ -- ran a cryptocurrency platform. Voyager claimed to offer a secure way to trade over 100 different crypto assets using its easy-to-use mobile application. Through its subsidiary Coinify ApS, Voyager provided crypto payment solutions for both consumers and merchants around the globe. Voyager Digital Holdings Inc. and two affiliates sought protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. Lead Case No. 22-10943) on July 5, 2022. In the petition filed by Stephen Ehrlich, chief executive officer, the Debtors estimated assets and liabilities between $1 billion and $10 billion. Judge Michael E. Wiles oversees the cases. The Debtors tapped Kirkland & Ellis, LLP as general bankruptcy counsel; Berkeley Research Group, LLC, as financial advisor; Moelis & Company as investment banker; Consello Group as strategic financial advisor; Deloitte Tax, LLP as tax services provider; and Deloitte & Touche, LLP, as accounting advisor. Stretto, Inc., is the claims agent. On July 19, 2022, the U.S. Trustee for Region 2 appointed an official committee of unsecured creditors in the Chapter 11 cases. The committee tapped McDermott Will & Emery, LLP as bankruptcy counsel; FTI Consulting, Inc., as financial advisor; Cassels Brock & Blackwell, LLP as Canadian counsel; and Epiq Corporate Restructuring, LLC, as noticing and information agent. The committee also tapped the services of Harney Westwood & Riegels, LP, in connection with Three Arrows Capital Ltd.'s liquidation proceedings in British Virgin Islands. On July 6, 2022, the Debtors filed a joint Chapter 11 plan of reorganization. * * * Following an auction process, the Debtors in September 2022 selected the bid submitted by FTX US' West Realm Shires Inc. as the winning bid for the assets. But after a series of events, FTX collapsed in November 2022, before the sale could be completed. After reopening bidding, Voyager Digital selected the offer from U.S. exchange BAM Trading Services Inc. (doing business as "Binance.US") as the highest and best bid for its assets. Binance's bid is valued at $1.022 billion. In April 2023, Binance.US called off its deal to buy assets of bankrupt crypto lender Voyager Digital, citing a "hostile and uncertain regulatory climate." WHIDBEY ISLAND PUBLIC HOSPITAL: Moody's Assigns B3 Issuer Rating ---------------------------------------------------------------- Moody's Ratings has assigned a B3 issuer rating to Whidbey Island Public Hospital District, WA (WhidbeyHealth), upgraded the district's general obligation limited tax (GOLT) bond rating to B3 from Caa1 and upgraded the district's general obligation unlimited tax (GOULT) bond rating to Ba3 from B1. The outlook has been revised to stable, previously under review. This action concludes the review for possible upgrade that was initiated on May 28, 2026 and reflects the application of the updated Not-for-profit Healthcare methodology. The district had approximately $59.5 million total debt outstanding at fiscal year-end 2025. RATINGS RATIONALE The B3 issuer rating reflects WhidbeyHealth's very low liquidity and variable financial performance. While WhidbeyHealth has an essential market position as a Critical Access Hospital, its inconsistent financial performance and low liquidity present significant near term challenges to provider recruitment, service line development and strategic capital spending. These issues have been compounded by management turnover in recent years, and though recent governance changes are expected to stabilize management, the ability to maintain multi-year stability will remain core to the organization's credit profile. Liquidity will remain a major credit challenge as capital spending is likely to consume a significant share of cash flow, and EBIDA margins are likely to remain in the mid single digits which will not allow for balance sheet growth and higher capex; liquidity fluctuates between 8 - 24 days. Favorably, WhidbeyHealth was able to secure a $10 million line of credit, which remains undrawn. The district benefits from a tax levy for maintenance and operations, GOULT debt service, and EMS operations; the M&O levy generates an approximately 4.5% EBIDA margin, absent other cash flow. The B3 GOLT rating reflects the fundamental credit quality of WhidbeyHealth and the lack of a dedicated tax levy on the GOLT bonds. The Ba3 GOULT rating reflects the dedicated nature of the unlimited tax pledge and the underlying strength of the local economy. Moody's assess the district's economic proxy of Whidbey Island at Aa, given high full value per capita and the economic anchor of the Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. RATING OUTLOOK The stable outlook reflects the likelihood that despite limited financial flexibility and thin liquidity, WhidbeyHealth will maintain sufficient tax levy capacity and revenue to meet rated debt service obligations. This is further supported by WhidbeyHealth's access to an undrawn $10 million line of credit. FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OF THE RATINGS -- Maintenance of days cash on hand of around 45 -- Demonstrated ability to maintain positive financial performance and revenue on a sustained basis -- Improved track record and quality of financial disclosures and forecasts FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO A DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS -- Sustained negative EBIDA margins and/or further narrowing of liquidity positioning including losing access to line of credit -- Default on any outstanding obligations -- Insolvency or bankruptcy of the district PROFILE Whidbey Island Public Hospital District, doing business as Whidbey Health, operates a 25 bed critical access hospital, seven satellite clinics, an ambulance service and a few related other healthcare services on Whidbey Island in Puget Sound, 65 miles north of Seattle. The district serves a population of about 86,500 residents (per the 2022 American Community Survey) in Island County, WA. METHODOLOGY The principal methodology used in these ratings was Not-for-profit Healthcare published in May 2026. WHITEHALL MANOR: Gets Extension to Access Cash Collateral --------------------------------------------------------- The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania issued a seventh interim order authorizing Whitehall Manor, Inc. and Saucon Valley Manor, Inc. to continue using cash collateral through October 31. Under the seventh interim order, the Debtors are authorized to use cash collateral strictly in accordance with an approved budget, with a permitted variance of up to 10% per line item per week on a rolling four-week basis. The authority remains effective until the final hearing. The Debtors are prohibited from using cash collateral to challenge the liens or security interests of the existing secured party. As adequate protection, secured creditors with interest in the cash collateral will be granted replacement liens on all post-petition assets of the Debtors, maintaining the same validity, extent, and priority as their pre-petition liens, limited to any decline in collateral value. These replacement liens do not apply to avoidance actions. The court also revised the Debtors' adequate protection payment obligations. Instead of the previously ordered payment structure, the Debtor must pay the secured party $69,844.85 per month, consisting of $27,625 in fair market rent and $41,853.58 in adequate protection. Saucon Valley Manor must pay $69,844.85 per month, consisting of $34,937.50 in fair market rent and $34,907.35 in adequate protection, with payments due on or before the first day of each month pending further order of the court. The order requires the Debtors to maintain proper financial records and provide ongoing operational reports to the lender. A final hearing on further use of cash collateral is scheduled for October 22, with objections due by October 8. A copy of the court's order and the Debtor's budget is available at https://h1.nu/1AK55 from PacerMonitor.com. About Whitehall Manor Inc.

WHITEHALL PHARMACY: Court Extends Cash Collateral Access to Oct. 29 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Whitehall Pharmacy, LLC received another extension from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas, Central Division, to use cash collateral. The court entered an agreed order extending the Debtor's authority to use cash collateral through October 29 on the same terms and conditions previously approved, ensuring uninterrupted business operations while its Chapter 11 case proceeds. Except as modified by the agreed order, all provisions contained in prior cash collateral orders remain in full force and effect. The agreed order further provides that if the credit application referenced in Cardinal Health's motion is rejected or terminated before October 29, the Debtor's authority to use cash collateral will terminate. The order does not waive or modify any party's rights, claims, defenses, liens, priorities, setoff or recoupment rights, subordination rights, objections, or legal arguments, all of which are expressly preserved. A copy of the order is available at https://shorturl.at/dVtp8 Whitehall's cash collateral remains subject to security interests held by primary secured creditors Cardinal Health and Stone Bank, which hold liens on the Debtor’s cash, accounts receivable, and inventory proceeds. Operating a network of pharmacies serving 80,000 to 90,000 patients and employing roughly 40 individuals across Pulaski, Lincoln, and Jefferson counties, an uninterrupted access to cash collateral is essential to maintain the Debtor's operations.

[] BOOK REVIEW: Transnational Mergers and Acquisitions ------------------------------------------------------ Author: Sarkis J. Khoury Publisher: Beard Books Softcover: 292 pages List Price: $34.95 Order your personal copy today at http://is.gd/hl7cni Transnational Mergers and Acquisitions in the United States will appeal to a wide range of readers. Dr. Khoury's analysis is valuable for managers involved in transnational acquisitions, whether they are acquiring companies or being acquired themselves. At the same time, he provides a comprehensive and large-scale look at the industrial sector of the U.S. economy that proves very useful for policy makers even today. With its nearly 100 tables of data and numerous examples, Khoury provides a wealth of information for business historians and researchers as well. Until the late 1960s, we Americans were confident (some might say smug) in our belief that U.S. direct investment abroad would continue to grow as it had in the 1950s and 1960s, and that we would dominate the other large world economies in foreign investment for some time to come. And then came the 1970s, U.S. investment abroad stood at $78 billion, in contrast to only $13 billion in foreign investment in the U.S. In 1978, however, only eight years later, foreign investment in the U.S. had skyrocketed to nearly #41 billion, about half of it in acquisition of U.S. firms. Foreign acquisitions of U.S. companies grew from 20 in 1970 to 188 in 1978. The tables had turned an Americans were worried. Acquisitions in the banking and insurance sectors were increasing sharply, which in particular alarmed many analysts. Thus, when it was first published in 1980, this book met a growing need for analytical and empirical data on this rapidly increasing flow of foreign investment money into the U.S., much of it in acquisitions. Khoury answers many of the questions arising from the situation as it stood in 1980, many of which are applicable today: What are the motives for transnational acquisitions? How do foreign firms plans, evaluate, and negotiate mergers in the U.S.? What are the effects of these acquisitions on competition, money and capital markets; relative technological position; balance of payments and economic policy in the U.S.? To begin to answer these questions, Khoury researched foreign investment in the U.S. from 1790 to 1979. His historical review includes foreign firms' industry preferences, choice of location in the U.S., and methods for penetrating the U.S. market. He notes the importance of foreign investment to growth in the U.S., particularly until the early 20th century, and that prior to the 1970s, foreign investment had grown steadily throughout U.S. history, with lapses during and after the world wars. Khoury found that rates of return to foreign companies were not excessive. He determined that the effect on the U.S. economy was generally positive and concluded that restricting the inflow of direct and indirect foreign investment would hinder U.S. economic growth both in the short term and long term. Further, he found no compelling reason to restrict the activities of multinational corporations in the U.S. from a policy perspective. Khoury's research broke new ground and provided input for economic policy at just the right time. Sarkis J. Khoury holds a Ph.D. in International Finance from Wharton. He teaches finance and international finance at the University of California, Riverside, and serves as the Executive Director of International Programs at the Anderson Graduate School of Business. ********* On Thursdays, the TCR delivers a list of recently filed Chapter 11 cases involving less than $1,000,000 in assets and liabilities delivered to nation's bankruptcy courts.
