This Week's Key Filings

Eddie Bauer LLC (Filed Feb. 9)

• Case Summary
  • Eddie Bauer has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy to address persistent negative earnings and the anticipated cessation of parental funding, pursuing a dual-track sale and wind-down of its brick-and-mortar operations backed by the consensual use of cash collateral and a restructuring support agreement with all funded debtholders.
• RSA Terms
  • Eddie Bauer’s restructuring support agreement outlines a prearranged Chapter 11 centering on a dual-track strategy to pursue a sale of all or substantially all of the debtors’ assets or equity and a simultaneous inventory liquidation through going-out-of-business sales, funded by the consensual use of cash collateral, whereby ABL lenders capture substantially all net proceeds while $816 million in term and subordinated debt is extinguished against the debtors without distribution, with all secured lender claims, including ABL claims, preserved against non-Debtor Loan Parties, leaving general unsecured creditors with a contingent recovery pool subject to class acceptance.
• Dual-Track Sale & Liquidation Summary

Francesca's Acquisition, LLC (Filed Feb. 5)
