PREIT Takes Steps to Significantly Strengthen Balance Sheet and Solidify Future of Business (12/11/23)
Focus on Delivering Exceptional Experiences for Shoppers and Tenants Continues
Enters Restructuring Support Agreement with 100% of PREIT's First and Second Lien Lenders and Commences Chapter 11 Proceedings to Implement Prepackaged Plan
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- PREIT (OTCQB: PRET), a leading operator of diverse retail and experiential destinations, today announced it is taking steps to execute a comprehensive reorganization to strengthen its balance sheet, reduce its total indebtedness by approximately $880 million and extend its maturity runway. The reorganization plan (the "Prepackaged Plan") is supported by 100% of PREIT's First and Second Lien Lenders. To facilitate this process, the Company has received commitments for new money debtor-in-possession ("DIP") and exit revolver financing in an aggregate amount of approximately $135 million from a diverse group of leading investors, led by Redwood Capital Management, LLC and Nut Tree Capital Management, LP. This funding commitment, together with the unanimous support from the Company's existing lender group for the Prepackaged Plan, is a testament to the lenders' confidence in the Company's forward path and represents a crucial source of capital to support the Company's financial stability and long-term growth.
The Company's primary focus remains creating compelling retail and experiential destinations while prioritizing service to its employees, partners, customers and communities. PREIT has a rich history, as detailed in the timeline featured here. Effectuating this Prepackaged Plan will allow PREIT to continue its legacy of being an integral part of its communities as a significant employer that is committed to the transformation of its properties.
"We are pleased to be moving forward with strengthening the Company's balance sheet and positioning it for long-term success through this Prepackaged Plan. Following the pandemic disruption, PREIT has worked tirelessly to enhance the portfolio, dramatically improve occupancy and diversify its tenancy. However, unusual economic conditions have limited the Company's options with respect to its debt obligations as meaningful achievements on the operating front were met with inflation and rising interest rates," said Joseph F. Coradino, Chairman and CEO of PREIT. "Today's announcement will position a restructured PREIT to execute on strategic initiatives to continue transforming its portfolio for the tenants and communities it serves. We look forward to quickly emerging from this process as a financially stronger company with the resources and support to continue creating diverse, multi-use property experiences throughout our portfolio."
In order to effectuate the restructuring to make way for a recapitalized PREIT, the Company has filed a voluntary Chapter 11 petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware to implement its Prepackaged Plan. The filing will ensure that PREIT can continue all business operations without interruption while it obtains necessary approvals of its financial restructuring. In advance of the filing, the Company executed a Restructuring Support Agreement ("RSA") with 100% of its First and Second Lien Lenders. In accordance with the RSA, PREIT expects it will be able to emerge from Bankruptcy by early February 2024.
PREIT will pay all vendors, suppliers and employees during the course of the Chapter 11 proceedings and, pursuant to the terms of the Prepackaged Plan, which will be subject to court approval, the prepetition claims of all vendors, suppliers and employees will be unimpaired.
Under the terms of the Prepackaged Plan, a reorganized PREIT would emerge following the court-supervised process with a restructured balance sheet. Terms of the transaction are detailed in filings with the SEC and summarized below:
First Lien Lenders: First Lien Lenders have the option to receive either a cash payment equal to 100% of their claims, or instead convert their claims into term loans under the Exit Facility in an amount equal to 101% of their claims.
Second Lien Lenders: Second Lien Lenders will get their pro rata share of 65% of the new equity interests in reorganized PREIT and, Second Lien Lenders who commit to backstop the Exit Facility will receive 35% of the new equity interests in reorganized PREIT, in each case subject to subject to dilution by a customary management incentive plan.
DIP Facility: The restructuring will be supported financially through a new money DIP Facility, totaling up to $60 million, which will convert into term loans under the Exit Facility in an amount equal to 101% of the DIP facility loans.
Exit Facility: In addition, our lenders have committed to provide revolving loans and term loans under an Exit Facility, consisting of a $75 million new money revolver, if PREIT is expected to have less than $75 million in unrestricted cash upon emergence from the Chapter 11 proceedings, and exit term loans in an amount sufficient to refinance in cash or in kind the DIP facility and the First Lien Loans.
Equity Payment: Existing Preferred and Common Shares of PREIT will be canceled and PREIT will no longer be a publicly traded company. An aggregate $10 million payment, net of costs defined in the Prepackaged Plan and subject to certain conditions, will be provided to holders of the existing Preferred and Common Stock. The payment, if made, will be allocated as follows: 70% for Preferred shareholders and 30% for Common shareholders.
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, Michael DeMarco, Lead Independent Trustee, commented: "In November 2021, the Company engaged PJT Partners to engage in a process to explore all strategic options to maximize shareholder value. PJT robustly marketed the Company's properties, sought capital infusion and otherwise explored any available options. That process did not result in any options that would allow the Company to refinance or otherwise achieve value that would exceed the aggregate amount of its First and Second Lien Loans. After months of evaluation and review with our financial advisors, the Board has unanimously approved a transaction that we believe to be the alternative that maximizes the value of PREIT for all of our stakeholders. While PREIT continues to operate in a challenging market, we are pleased to arrive at an agreement with our key creditors that also provides a $10 million payment to Preferred and Common shareholders, if certain conditions are met, who otherwise would receive nothing. Based on the advice from its financial advisors, including that the value of the Company does not exceed the aggregate amount of the existing First Lien and Second Lien Loans, the Board has concluded that the consideration provided to Preferred and Common shareholders is in effect a gift resulting from voluntary agreement with the existing First and Second Lien Lenders to avoid the expense of protracted Chapter 11 proceedings and shall only be available in the event that the Equity Distribution Conditions are satisfied."
PREIT has filed a number of customary first-day motions with the court to support its operations during the court-supervised process, including the continued payment of employee wages and benefits without interruption. The Company expects to receive court approval for these requests.

J.C. Penney files for bankruptcy, stock falls 29%
Today 6:53 PM ET (MarketWatch) 0.165 -0.0713 DIP $900M
J.C. Penney Co. Inc. (JCP) said late Friday that it had filed a Chapter 11 petition for the reorganization of the company and entered into a restructuring agreement with lenders holding roughly 70% of a portion of the company's debt. Shares of J.C. Penney fell 29% in the extended session. "The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has created unprecedented challenges for our families, our loved ones, our communities, and our country," J.C. Penney Chief Executive Jill Soltau said in a statement. "As a result, the American retail industry has experienced a profoundly different new reality, requiring JCPenney to make difficult decisions in running our business to protect the safety of our associates and customers and the future of our company." The company said it would continue operations and that it had $500 million in cash as of the Chapter 11 filing date. It also said that it had received commitments for $900 million of debtor-in-possession financing from its existing debt holders. The company expects the money will be sufficient to meet its operational and restructuring needs. As part of its reorganization, J.C. Penney said it planned to close stores in phases, the first of which it will announce in the "coming weeks."

J.C. Penney seeking around $1 billion in bankruptcy funding: report
Today 9:08 PM ET (MarketWatch)
J.C. Penney Co. Inc. (JCP) is in advanced talks for bankruptcy funding, and is seeking a loan package of $800 million to $1 billion, the Wall Street Journal reported (https://www.wsj.com/articles/j-c-penney-in-advanced-talks-for-bankruptcy-financing-11587688846?mod=hp_lead_pos4) Thursday night. The Journal reported that the troubled retailer is in talks with existing lenders including Wells Fargo & Co., Bank of America Corp. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. for a debtor-in-possession loan that would keep the company's operations running during the bankruptcy process. A bankruptcy filing could come in the following weeks, the report said. Retailers, especially department stores, have been hard-hit by the coronavirus-related shutdown. Last week, Cowen analysts estimated that J.C. Penney had about seven months of operating cash left (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/nordstrom-can-withstand-12-months-of-store-closures-but-other-department-stores-have-much-less-time-analysts-say-2020-04-13). Penney's stock has tumbled 75% year to date, compared to the S&P 500's 13% decline.

By Josh Beckerman
Quorum Health Corp. shares fell 56% to 48 cents Wednesday after KKR Credit Advisors LLC said late Tuesday that transaction discussions shifted from a buyout plan to a reorganization with "no assurances" that stockholders would receive any consideration.
The proposal for the hospital operator, disclosed in December, called for a buyout of public shares held by minority holders for $1 each.
Quorum said late Wednesday that it "continues to engage in constructive discussions with KKR and other debt holders regarding a potential recapitalization or financial reorganization transaction." Shares rose 2 cents to 50 cents after hours.

NOLs - Net Operating Loss http://www.ibfd.org/portal/pdf/Excerpt_MergersandAcquisitions.pdf
4.1.1.3. Preservation of tax losses
All of the tax attributes of the merged corporation, including net operating losses (NOLs),
transfer to the surviving corporation in a tax-free merger (Sec. 381).
Subject to the limitations discussed below, the surviving corporation in a statutory merger or
consolidation of corporations may carry forward the {NOLs} of the absorbed companies to
reduce its taxable income in the 20 subsequent tax years from the tax year in which the loss
was incurred (Sec. 172). NOLs may be carried back 2 years.
Sec. 382, however, limits the use of NOL carry-forward losses, and certain other tax attributes
by the surviving corporation. If the pre-transaction shareholders of the loss corporation do not
own at least 50% of the fully diluted equity (other than non-voting, non-participating preferred
stock) of the surviving entity as applied under the rules of Sec. 382, the use of the NOLs by
the surviving corporation are limited to the fair market value of the merged entity immediately
before the transaction multiplied by the highest long-term tax-exempt bond rate applicable for
any of the 3 months before the transaction.

CORPORATE BANKRUPTCY http://www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/bankrupt.htm
What happens when a public company files for protection under the federal bankruptcy laws? Who protects the interests of investors? Do the old securities have any value when, and if, the company is reorganized? We hope this information answers these and other frequently asked questions about the lengthy and sometimes uncertain bankruptcy process.
What Happens to the Company?
How Are Assets Divided in Bankruptcy?
Secured Creditors - often a bank, is paid first.
Unsecured Creditors - such as banks, suppliers, and bondholders, have the next claim.
Stockholders - owners of the company, have the last claim on assets and may not receive anything if the Secured and Unsecured Creditors' claims are not fully repaid.
Federal bankruptcy laws govern how companies go out of business or recover from crippling debt. A bankrupt company, the "debtor," might use Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code to "reorganize" its business and try to become profitable again. Management continues to run the day-to-day business operations but all significant business decisions must be approved by a bankruptcy court.
Under Chapter 7, the company stops all operations and goes completely out of business. A trustee is appointed to "liquidate" (sell) the company's assets and the money is used to pay off the debt, which may include debts to creditors and investors.
Why Would a Company Choose Chapter 11?
"Prepackaged Bankruptcy Plans"
Sometimes companies prepare a reorganization plan that is negotiated and voted on by creditors and stockholders before they actually file for bankruptcy. This shortens and simplifies the process, saving the company money. For example, Resorts International and TWA used this method.
If prepackaged plans involve an offer to sell a security, they may have to be registered with the SEC. You will get a prospectus and a ballot, and it's important to vote if you want to have any impact on the process. Under the Bankruptcy Code, two-thirds of the stockholders who vote must accept the plan before it can be implemented, and dissenters will have to go along with the majority.
Most publicly-held companies will file under Chapter 11 rather than Chapter 7 because they can still run their business and control the bankruptcy process. Chapter 11 provides a process for rehabilitating the company's faltering business. Sometimes the company successfully works out a plan to return to profitability; sometimes, in the end, it liquidates. Under a Chapter 11 reorganization, a company usually keeps doing business and its stock and bonds may continue to trade in our securities markets. Since they still trade, the company must continue to file SEC reports with information about significant developments. For example, when a company declares bankruptcy, or has other significant corporate changes, they must report it within 15 days on the SEC's Form 8-K.
NOTE: Investors should be cautious when buying common stock of companies in Chapter 11 bankruptcy. It is extremely risky and is likely to lead to financial loss. Although a company may emerge from bankruptcy as a viable entity, generally, the creditors and the bondholders become the new owners of the shares. In most instances, the company's plan of reorganization will cancel the existing equity shares. This happens in bankruptcy cases because secured and unsecured creditors are paid from the company's assets before common stockholders. And in situations where shareholders do participate in the plan, their shares are usually subject to substantial dilution.
