Mesa Air Group Agreement Approved

The U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved Mesa Air Group's motion seeking to assume an amended master purchase agreement with Bombardier. As previously reported, under the agreement, Bombardier has agreed that: (i) there is no cure amount owing as a result of the modifications (ii) Bombardier's $310 million claims against Mesa Air Group and Mesa Airlines shall be allowed as a single claim against Mesa Air Group in the approximate amount of $75 million; and (iii) certain mutual payment obligations shall be offset and restructured that will result in immediate savings to the Debtors. In addition, the Debtors have agreed to release Bombardier from certain claims and obligations under the master purchase agreement and resolve certain other claims of Bombardier related to aircraft leases and spare engine parts.



Mesa Air Group Plan Approved

The U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved Mesa Air Group's Plan of Reorganization, clearing the way for the airline's emergence from Chapter 11. Following a successful and efficient 12-month restructuring, Mesa restructured its operations and is set to emerge as a leading regional air carrier flying primarily larger 70- and 86-seat regional jet aircraft. Mesa's creditors overwhelmingly supported the Plan of Reorganization, which also applies to the eleven wholly owned subsidiaries of Mesa that filed for Chapter 11 protection. Mesa and each of its subsidiaries are expected to emerge from Chapter 11 in February 2011. Among the company's restructuring accomplishments, Mesa extended the term of is code-share agreement with US Airways, Inc. through September 2015; eliminated over 100 unnecessary aircraft leases and financings that contributed to the deleveraging of Mesa's balance sheet in the approximate amount of $700 million in capitalized leases and $50 million in debt; restructured aircraft leases and financings for Mesa's fleet of CRJ 200 and Dash 8 aircraft resulting in flexibility and no long-term lease exposure on the CRJ 200 50-seat regional jet aircraft; Mesa will emerge as a private company and issue new notes, common stock, and warrants to its creditors. "Mesa is now poised to enter its next chapter as a strong airline ready to compete in an ever changing industry. We are particularly proud of the fact that during our restructuring, Mesa achieved - and has consistently maintained - regional airline leading operational performance as reported by the U.S. Dept. of Transportation, including Mesa achieving the highest monthly On time performance of all regional airlines since May 2010. This strong operational performance is a tribute to the hard work and dedication of all of our employees and came during a time when many of our employees contributed to our financial savings through the taking of additional unpaid days off. This level of dedication and associated strong operational performance has provided a strong foundation upon which to return our airline to sustained profitability and future growth," said Jonathan Ornstein, Mesa's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Blockbuster files for bankruptcy protection

By MAE ANDERSON | AP Retail Writer • Published September 23, 2010


NEW YORK – Troubled video-rental chain Blockbuster Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, and said it plans to keep stores and kiosks open as it reorganizes.


The move, long expected and pre-arranged with bondholders, effectively ends an era that Blockbuster dominated - of Americans visiting video-store chains for the latest movie-rental releases. Increasingly, Americans are watching movies via video subscription services like Netflix Inc., video on demand and vending machine services such as Redbox.

In a submission to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of New York on Thursday, the company said it reached an agreement with bondholders on a recapitalization plan.

Blockbuster plans to reduce debt from nearly $1 billion to about $100 million or less by swapping debt for equity in a reorganized Blockbuster with bondholders that hold about 80.1 percent of the company's senior notes.

It has received commitments for $125 million in "debtor-in-possession" financing from senior noteholders to repay customers, suppliers and employees during the reorganization.

"After a careful and thorough analysis, we determined that the process announced today provides the optimal path for recapitalizing our balance sheet and positioning Blockbuster for the future as we continue to transform our business model to meet the evolving preferences of our customers," said CEO Jim Keyes.

Blockbuster, founded in 1985 by a Dallas software entrepreneur, was once a home entertainment powerhouse. It helped popularize videotape recorders and took off in 1987 after Waste Management Inc. founder Wayne Huizenga took control and began aggressively expanding and buying up competitors.

But Blockbuster has been losing money and market share for years. As Netflix and other services gained popularity, Blockbuster tried to keep up. It ended late fees and started online and kiosk services of its own. But it was unable to keep its debt in check.

Hollywood Video parent Movie Gallery Inc., once the second-largest U.S. movie rental chain behind Blockbuster, also fell victim to changing movie-watching habits and filed for bankruptcy protection in February - it's second trip through bankruptcy court. It liquidated in August.

Blockbuster, based in Dallas, earlier this year said it would close hundreds of stores and said it was struggling with liquidity problems. It had warned investors it might file for bankruptcy protection and was delisted in early July by the New York Stock Exchange.

Blockbuster said Thursday its 3,000 stores in the U.S., DVD vending kiosks, by-mail and digital businesses will all continue to operate normally. Operations outside the U.S. and domestic and international franchisees are not part of the Chapter 11 reorganization.

Billionaire investor Carl Icahn will help steer the latest efforts to save Blockbuster, reviving a role he played previously in trying to shape up the company. He has thrust himself into position of power, this time by snapping up about one-third of Blockbuster's highest-priority debt, according to a report published Wednesday in The Wall Street Journal.

Blockbuster said in its filing it had about $1 billion in assets and $1.46 billion in debt.

Blockbuster's largest creditors include the Bank of New York Mellon, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, Warner Home Video Inc., Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, The Walt Disney Co., Universal Studios Home Entertainment and other movie studios.

Tronox Equity Committee Files Competing Plan of Reorganization

http://tronoxequity.blogspot.com/2010/09/tronox-equity-committee-files-competing.html

On September 2, 2010, the Equity Committee of Tronox filed a Plan of Reorganization to compete with a plan recently submitted by the Debtors. The Equity Committee has also filed a motion with the court that would provide for a deadline to object to the Disclosure Statement of September 17, 2010 and for a hearing to approve the Disclosure Statement to be held on September 23, 2010 which also coincides with the hearing to approve the Debtors Disclosure Statement. Some of the more salient provisions of the Equity Plan and Disclosure Statement and the differences between the competing plans taken from the filing are as follows:

• The Equity Committee Plan is based on a valuation range of $1.2 to 1.3 billion, with a midpoint of $1.25 billion. This valuation better reflects the true value of Reorganized Tronox when compared to the valuation that forms the basis of the Debtors’ Plan.

• Both the Equity Committee Plan and the Debtors’ Plan are employing a rights offering process, which will enable certain stakeholders to purchase new equity in Reorganized Tronox. In both the Equity Committee Plan and the Debtors’ Plan, all holders of General Unsecured Claims and all Holders of Indirect Environmental Claims will be given the opportunity to participate a rights offering to purchase new equity in the reorganized company. Unlike the Debtors’ Plan, however, certain Holders of Equity Stock Interests who are Eligible Holders will also be able to participate in the rights offering pursuant to the Equity Committee Plan. In the Debtors’ Plan, Holders of Equity Stock Interests will be given no such opportunity. Under terms to be arranged with the Debtors, the Equity Committee intends to conduct its Rights Offering to Holders of General Unsecured Claims and Indirect Environmental Claims in conjunction with the rights offering to be conducted under the Debtors’ Plan. The Rights Offering to Holders of Equity Stock Interests, however, will be conducted post-confirmation of the Equity Committee Plan.

• The Equity Committee and its financial advisors believe that the Debtors’ Plan significantly undervalues the value of Reorganized Tronox. Because the Debtors’ Plan undervalues Reorganized Tronox, a greater portion of the New Common Stock will be distributed to a certain ad hoc group of bondholders (the “Ad Hoc Bondholders”) that are backstopping the Debtors’ Rights Offering, to the detriment of all of the other creditors and equity interest holders in this case. Additionally, as noted above, Holders of Equity Stock Interests will not be given an opportunity to participate in the rights offering that will be conducted pursuant to the Debtors’ Plan.

• Under the Equity Committee Plan, 62.5% of the New Common Stock will go to Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims as compared to 16.9% under the Debtors’ Plan. This represents a significantly higher recovery received in primary equity that is not based on the requirement to participate in a rights offering.

• The Equity Committee Plan seeks to preserve the settlements reached with the Governmental Environmental Entities and the Holders of Tort Claims and will provide those entities with an equal or greater recovery than that which they would otherwise receive in the Debtors’ Plan. However, the Equity Committee reserves the right to challenge the allowance and amount of claims of the Governmental Environmental Entities and Holders of Tort Claims and/or to modify the treatment of such claims if any classes of such claim vote to reject the proposed treatment in the Equity Committee Plan.


• The Equity Committee Plan also provides value to the public shareholders of Tronox in the form of New Warrants and the ability to participate in a portion of the Rights Offering. Under the Debtors’ Plan, the public shareholders will receive warrants that the Equity Committee believes are essentially valueless and then, only if the class of shareholders votes in favor of the Debtors’ Plan. The Equity Committee believes that the Debtors’ Plan does not adequately value Reorganized Tronox and, as a result, deprives the public shareholders of recovery to which they are legally entitled. The Equity Committee intends to challenge confirmation of the Debtors’ Plan because it does not believe that the Debtors’ Plan is confirmable under the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code.

• The Equity Committee Plan also provides the necessary financing for Reorganized Tronox’s operations post-emergence, including a greater amount of borrowing capacity under the Exit Credit Facility. While there is less debt and reduced borrowing capacity under the Debtors’ Plan, the difference is made up by increasing the rights offering (and thus the shares of stock) being provided to the Ad Hoc Bondholders and leaving less stock (and therefore, less value) to be distributed to the Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims. Specifically, the Ad Hoc Bondholders have set aside for themselves the exclusive opportunity to purchase $15 million of New 8% Convertible Preferred Stock, which, aside from being senior to the New Common Stock, is valued at approximately $17 million. This, combined with backstop fees valued at approximately $36 million, means the Ad Hoc Bondholders are paying themselves approximately $53 million on the Effective Date of the Debtors’ Plan.

• According to the EC plan, the estimated ranges of recovery for Tronox Equity holders varies between $1.39, $2.58 per share and $3.75 per share at enterprise valuations of $1.20 billion, $1.25 billion and $1.3 billion respectively.

Readers of this blog post are strongly encouraged to read the Plans and Disclosure statements of both the Debtors and the Equity Committee in their entirety.

KATX oversold. Drill sample results PR approaching. It's a GOLDEN opportunity.

[oilstrike]

cnex acting funny

[Vulcanized Crawler]

mdxx took the week off it seems....
last week up 60% this week, zip. waiting on the 'yield' sign to go away, and get 'current' status. then pr's roll and it should run hard.

i assumed they would do that this week. oops. buying op

[dougem]

Yes, nice upside potential with JLIC. Good news will make it move up quick considering the limited amount of shares available. Good sign that bashers/shorts are showing up on the JLIC board, trying to keep the price down. Have you noticed some small sells in this attempt for keeping it down, while the overall price has been increasing for the last four days ?

[trailblazin]

thanks for posting that link dougem...I agree, jlic does look intriguing....we'll see how it plays out, but I'm thinking its good for a multi-bagger from here at least. We'll see....

[dougem]

Still adding JLIC....looks like it is starting to get more attention & getting difficult to buy cheap shares. With the low share structure & net assets of .38/share per the recent filing, I believe this could make a strong move up.

Also with JLIC being a 133 year old company & having name recognition, I believe an offer will be made to take them over. JLIC DD post attached below with additional information in respect to a possible merger PR'd earlier this year.

mdxx should run hard this week.
stop sign off, and it took off...now at 'yield' pink level...on to 'current' level once financials are no longer interim......skies the limit. acquisitions already closed will be announced and a biggie acquisition is suppose to be announed, that could carry this into the dollars. watch.

[trailblazin]

nice call VC!

[trailblazin]

I'm taking a position gamble in JLIC....small O/S 44 mill...float has been estimated around 14-16 mill.....very very tight trading. Could get a float lockdown scenario, we'll see. It filed for Ch 11 last Friday:



By Daisy Maxey
Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Jesup & Lamont Inc. (JLIC), a small brokerage firm, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Friday in Manhattan.

The company, which was established in 1877, said in early July that it would terminate all nonessential personnel with the exception of a few executives and some other limited staffers. That downsizing came after the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ordered the company to cease conducting a securities business, other than liquidating transactions, because of its failure to meet net capital requirements.

Due to the net capital issues and Finra's order, the company "lost its main source of revenue and decided to wind down its remaining business," the filing said.

Reuters reported the news earlier Friday.

Jesup & Lamont couldn't be reached for comment.

The company has $41.2 million in assets and $24.6 million in debts, according to the court filing. The Internal Revenue Service is its largest creditor, according to the document.

The lingering downturn is slimming the ranks of smaller and less-sound regional and independent broker-dealers.
