This Week's Key Filings

QVC Group, Inc.

• Case Summary
  • QVC Group has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy to address $6.53 billion in funded debt amid the secular decline of linear television, pursuing a prepackaged reorganization backed by its Revolving Credit Facility lenders and secured and unsecured noteholders that will eliminate more than $5 billion in debt and leave trade creditors unimpaired.
• Plan / RSA Terms
  • QVC Group’s prepackaged Chapter 11 plan, supported by its RCF lenders and the QVC and LINTA noteholder groups pursuant to an April 16, 2026 RSA, would restructure roughly $5 billion of QVC funded debt through a combination of QVC Distributable Cash, takeback debt or equivalent syndicated exit financing, and new equity in Reorganized QVC. General unsecured claims are unimpaired, LINTA noteholders would receive pro rata distributions of LINTA Distributable Cash, and existing QVCG preferred and common equity would be cancelled with no recovery. The plan also contemplates a new Exit ABL facility of up to $750 million.

John Fitzgibbon Memorial Hospital, Inc.

• Case Summary
  • John Fitzgibbon Memorial Hospital has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy following over $36 million in cumulative losses since 2018 driven by structural rural healthcare headwinds, COVID-19 disruptions, rising labor costs, and a shift toward Medicare Advantage reimbursement, and is pursuing a sale of substantially all assets, including its acute care facility and skilled nursing facility.

American Health Associates Holdings, Inc.

• Case Summary
  • American Health Associates has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy following foreclosure proceedings initiated by senior secured lender City National Bank after a covenant default, seeking to restructure approximately $11.7 million in secured debt while continuing to operate its clinical laboratory and mobile imaging services across 23 states, supported by projected positive cash flow and use of cash collateral.

Nussbaum Lowinger LLP

• Case Summary
  • Nussbaum Lowinger LLP and Mark J. Nussbaum and Associates, PLLC have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy amid mounting malpractice and fraud litigation and a stalled state-court assignment for the benefit of creditors. Beginning in mid to late 2022, most funds flowing into the firms' escrow accounts were directed to a single client that proved unable to repay, ultimately depleting the accounts; the debtors now seek to consolidate all claims in a single forum and maximize creditor recoveries through a liquidation plan.

Triple Sticks Foods, LLC

• Case Summary
  • Triple Sticks Foods has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy following a failed $750,000 pizza line expansion, the abrupt loss of key customers, and crushing merchant cash advance obligations, and is pursuing a going-concern sale with a potential stalking horse bidder while using cash collateral to sustain operations and maximize creditor recoveries.

Ascend Elements, Inc.

• Bidding Procedures Summary
  • Ascend Elements obtained approval of bidding procedures to sell substantially all assets, authorizing the designation of one or more stalking horse bidders by May 6 with the consent of senior secured holders ahead of a May 9 bid deadline and May 12 auction, with the prepetition secured parties required to indicate any intention to credit bid and deliver material terms by the May 11 baseline bid deadline.

IPIC Theaters, LLC

• Bidding Procedures Summary
  • iPic Theaters filed a motion seeking expedited approval of bidding procedures for a sale of all or substantially all of its assets, and requesting a hearing by April 22. The motion proposes Star Grill Cinema, Inc. as stalking horse bidder under a $5 million purchase agreement covering the furniture, artwork, and equipment at six of the debtor's thirteen theater locations (Houston, Dallas, Austin, Atlanta, New Jersey, and North Miami-Intercoastal), all of the debtor's intellectual property assets, and the assumption of certain executory contracts and leases at those locations. The proposed bid protections consist of a $200,000 break-up fee and up to $35,000 in expense reimbursement, payable only from the proceeds of an alternative transaction for the stalking horse assets closing within 90 days of termination of the stalking horse agreement. The motion sets a May 5 qualifying bid deadline, a May 8 auction, and a May 15 sale closing, citing the debtor's cash-flow-negative operations and the looming April 28 WARN Act separation date as grounds for expedited relief.

Hawthorne Race Course, Inc.

• Bidding Procedures / APA Summary
  • Hawthorne Race Course filed a motion to approve bidding procedures for a section 363 sale of substantially all of its assets, proposing a June 26, 2026 bid deadline and a July 7, 2026 auction. No stalking horse has yet been designated, but the debtors seek authority to designate one and to provide customary bid protections, including a break-up fee of up to 3% of the cash purchase price plus expense reimbursement, subject to court approval. Under the proposed Bid Procedures, DIP lender Derby DIP LLC and Signature Bank are each deemed a Qualified Bidder, and any credit bids they submit are deemed Qualified Bids.

Ample, Inc.

• APA Summary
  • Ample obtained court approval to sell its intellectual property and related tangible assets free and clear to Transform AMP and Twelve Bridge Capital, as DIP Lender, pursuant to a joint bid, with consideration including Twelve Bridge’s $2 million credit bid against the DIP Loan under § 363(k); in exchange for making that credit bid, Twelve Bridge will receive a secured convertible promissory note issued by Transform AMP. The sale followed a closed-bid process that yielded no higher or better offers, and the agreement was negotiated at arm’s length after mediation among the debtors, the committee, and the purchasers.

Cumulus Media Inc.

  • Cumulus Media’s prepackaged chapter 11 plan provides that holders of approximately $168.6 million of 2029 secured claims receive $50 million of exit convertible notes and 95% of the reorganized company’s new common equity, allocated pursuant to the plan’s FCC-compliant equity allocation mechanism, while 2026 debt claims and 2029 deficiency claims receive pro rata shares of the remaining 5% of the new common equity. The ABL facility is restated, general unsecured claims remain unimpaired, existing equity receives no distribution, and the reorganized company is to emerge as a private company subject to required FCC approvals.

FLOAT Alaska LLC
