Agriculture Business and Legal Basics
September 28, 2022
Sponsored by ABI's Real Estate Committee
Agriculture is the original real estate-based business. Combined with its related industries, the agriculture sector accounts for 19.7 million jobs in the U.S., according to the Department of Agriculture. This vast industry is comprised of multinational corporations and independent family farmers, which are all prone to risks from unpredictable factors ranging from the weather to commodity pricing and trade policy. These variables can lead to distressed situations where restructuring professionals can add value, but they first need to learn the basics of the industry from a business and legal standpoint, particularly chapter 12 bankruptcy — one of the most powerful chapters in the Bankruptcy Code. This program will focus on these issues to prepare attorneys, financial advisors and other professionals for future restructuring assignments in this unique space.

A Case Study on Common — and Uncommon — Defenses to Preference Actions
June 28, 2022
Hosted by ABI's Unsecured Trade Creditors Committee
This program will be structured as a case study and will delve into the prosecution and defense sides of a recently settled preference case in which the presenters were involved. The parties will engage in a free-flowing discussion of their respective positions folllwing a brief discussion of the underlying bankruptcy cases. In addition to various aspects of the subsequent new value (paid/unpaid, treatment of § 503(b)(9) and critical-vendor payments, etc.) and ordinary-course-of-business defenses (subjective and objective, including purported payment pressure and a bifurcated set of payment terms, etc.) that are at issue in the vast majority of preference cases, the presenters will also discuss less frequently raised defenses/issues, including, but not limited to, the critical vendor defense, and the impact of (1) pre- and post-petition recoupment/setoff rights on a defendant’s § 502(h) claim, and (2) a material unpaid post-administrative claim on the parties’ settlement strategy and related positions.

Workout and Real Estate Strategies for Private Colleges
June 1, 2022
Sponsored by ABI's Real Estate Committee
The private and for-profit college, university and school sector continues to be challenged due to decreasing enrollment, cost structures and increased competition from community colleges, area technical schools and online offerings that students turned to during the pandemic. It is estimated that there are hundreds of these real estate-heavy institutions, which can have campuses with substantial improvements having been made, or they can operate solely in leased space. This program will focus on how the real estate footprint of these institutions can be utilized in connection with other turnaround strategies to achieve a turnaround or restructuring. The discussion will include public/private partnerships for parking, dormitories and more, sale-leasebacks and bridge financing, lease restructurings, monetizing surplus real estate, developing owned real estate, and marketing closed campuses for repurposing or redevelopment.

A Closer Look at the Dutch WHOA and the English RP: New Takes on Flexible Restructuring
May 5, 2022
Sponsored by ABI & INSOL
It has been more than a year since the new Dutch Act on court-sanctioning of private composition to avoid bankruptcy, the so-called WHOA or Dutch Scheme, entered into force. The new Dutch Scheme has received a lot of attention in the (international) market because it offers a flexible restructuring tool in the Netherlands, a jurisdiction that plays an important role in many international restructurings. Notably, the Dutch Scheme introduced debtor-in-possession proceedings, which aim to achieve debt-restructurings outside of formal Dutch bankruptcy processes. Join this panel of experts as they take a look at the Dutch Scheme and the similarities it has to U.S. chapter 11 and English scheme processes, and whether these similarities can also be seen in practice.
