Bondoro Insights: Weekly Docket Update

This Week's Key Filings

FRC Balance, LLC (True Food Kitchen)

• DIP Terms
  • True Food Kitchen received interim approval of a $20 million superpriority, priming, multiple-draw DIP term loan from HumanCo TFK IV, an investment vehicle managed by partners of HumanCo, to fund operations and the cases through a sale of all or substantially all of its assets. The facility has no roll-up; $5 million is available on an interim basis and the remaining $15 million becomes available upon entry of a final order, to be funded in six sequential advances, most of them tied to steps in the sale process. The facility carries 10% PIK interest, 3% commitment and funding fees, and an exit fee that tops up the lender's interest and fees to a target return of $1.9 million to $4 million, scaled to the funded balance.
• Bidding Procedures Summary
  • True Food Kitchen filed a motion for bidding procedures to solicit bids for a Section 363 sale or plan sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or a plan sponsor recapitalization, seeking authority to designate a stalking horse by Nov. 30 ahead of a Dec. 10 bid deadline and Dec. 15 auction. Every bid must repay the DIP obligations in full in cash unless the DIP lender agrees otherwise, fund a wind-down amount and commit replacement financing for the undrawn DIP Tranche B, and the DIP lender keeps its right to credit bid.

Rizo-López Foods, Inc.

• Plan Terms
  • Rizo-López Foods’ Chapter 11 plan, co-proposed with the official committee of unsecured creditors, centers on a liquidating trust, run by a committee-selected trustee, that will pursue retained causes of action, an approximately $1.9 million employee retention tax credit claim and a mandatory insurance mediation of recall claims. The plan follows the roughly $35 million sale of substantially all of the company’s assets to Francisco Foods. Subordinated administrative claims held by the company’s principals and their affiliates share in distributions only after general unsecured creditors have received an aggregate of $1 million.

Yardbird Group LLC

• Bidding Procedures / APA Summary
  • Yardbird Group obtained approval of bidding procedures for substantially all of its assets, designating SH Acquisition, a vehicle owned by and formed at the direction of its DIP lenders, who are also its prepetition lenders, as stalking horse on a credit bid of all outstanding DIP and prepetition term loan obligations plus assumed liabilities and wind-down funding. Competing bids must exceed the stalking horse bid by $200,000 plus an expense reimbursement capped at $175,000 and repay those obligations in full in cash, with bids due Oct. 27, an auction, if needed, on Nov. 2 and a sale hearing on Nov. 9.

Hawthorne Race Course, Inc.

• Plan Terms
  • Hawthorne Race Course’s Chapter 11 plan, jointly proposed with the unsecured creditors’ committee, centers around a liquidating trust that takes all remaining estate assets on the effective date. Administrative and priority claims are paid in full in cash. The Cook County Treasurer’s claim for unpaid real estate taxes on real property in Crestwood, IL, is paid in full in cash, which may come from the property’s sale proceeds, or is reinstated or otherwise left unimpaired. The secured claim of the Marital Trust of Robert F. Carey Jr. gets nothing until allowed, and the trustee may object to it with no deadline, including on grounds tied to its creation shortly before the petition date. General unsecured creditors, the only impaired class, share pro rata in distributable proceeds, capped at 100% of allowed claims plus postpetition interest at the federal judgment rate.

Magellan Aerospace, Middletown, Inc.

• Bidding Procedures Summary
  • Magellan Aerospace, Middletown filed a motion to establish bidding procedures for a sale of substantially all assets, in whole or in parts, with no stalking horse bidder in place, proposing a Nov. 24 bid deadline, a Dec. 1 auction and a Dec. 9 sale hearing, and seeking authority to designate one or more stalking horse bidders by Nov. 10 with a break-up fee of up to 3% of the cash portion of the stalking horse bid and up to $150,000 in expense reimbursement.

Frazer School, Inc.

• Plan Terms
  • Frazer School's Chapter 11 plan centers on the acquisition of the Gainesville, FL campus it operates from, which is titled to Newberry Christian Community School (NCCS), under an assumed transition agreement that gives Frazer School a credit of at least $5.1 million against the purchase price. The school would remain under the governance of its Educator Board, with the plan funded by operating cash flow, acquisition financing and litigation recoveries against NCCS and former management, James and Rachel Schrader. General unsecured creditors, including families that advanced funds to the school, would share pro rata in 50% of available free cash flow over 60 months, and any balance still unpaid at the end of that period would be due in a final balloon payment without interest. Insider claims held by NCCS, the Schraders and their affiliates would be equitably subordinated to all other claims.
