Legacy Reserves Inc. – Files Amended Plan; $351mn of Term Loans to be Exchanged for 51.4% of Emerged Debtors Equity, $983mn of Senior Notes Left with 2.5%
by New Generation Researchon September 10, 2019
September 9, 2019 – The Debtors filed a Further Revised Plan and a related Disclosure Statement [Docket Nos. 453 and 454, respectively] each of which attaches a blackline showing changes to the versions of each document filed on August 18, 2019.
Overview of the Plan
The Disclosure Statement provides the following revised summary of the Plan:
"The Plan contemplates the implementation of a debt-to-equity conversion of a substantial portion of the Debtors’ prepetition funded indebtedness, the payment in full of all Allowed General Unsecured Claims, committed equity investment from the Plan Sponsor and certain Holders of Notes Claims, a rights offering, an exit financing facility, and other potential sources of debt or equity capital, which collectively will result in a significantly deleveraged balance sheet and necessary liquidity for the Reorganized Debtors upon emergence. Successful implementation of the Plan will avoid a sale of all or substantially all of the Debtors’ assets during these Chapter 11 Cases. The compromises and settlements embodied in the Plan preserve value by enabling the Debtors to avoid costly and time-consuming litigation that would delay the Debtors’ emergence from chapter 11."
The key component of the Plan is its debt-for-equity exchange further to which (i) all Term Loan Claims in Class 4 will be converted into equity in the reorganized Debtors ("Term Loan New Common Stock Shares," receiving approximately 51.4% of the emerged Debtors' equity) and (ii) $464.6mn of the Senior Notes in Class 5 will be exchanged for "Notes Claims Shares," representing approximately 2.5% of the emerged Debtors' equity. The $518.1mn of Senior Notes held by Legacy Reserves LP will be cancelled and will have no equity allocation.
The following is summary of classes, claims, voting rights and expected recoveries showing no major changes (Defined terms are as in the Plan and/or Disclosure Statement):
Class 1 (“Other Secured Claims”) is unimpaired, deemed to accept and not entitled to vote on the Plan. The estimated aggregate amount of claims is undetermined and the estimated recovery is 100%.
Class 2 (“Other Priority Claims”) is unimpaired, deemed to accept and not entitled to vote on the Plan. The estimated aggregate amount of claims is undetermined and the estimated recovery is 100%.
Class 3 (“RBL Claims”) is impaired and entitled to vote the Plan. The estimated aggregate amount of claims is $313.0mn and the estimated recovery is 100%.
Class 4 (“Term Loan Claims”) is impaired and entitled to vote the Plan. The estimated aggregate amount of claims is $351.2mn and the estimated recovery is 53.9%-83.4%. Each holder of an Allowed Term Loan Claim will receive its pro rata share of the Term Loan New Common Stock Shares (about 51.4% of the emerged Debtors' equity, see see Equity Allocation table below).
Class 5 (“Notes Claims”) is impaired and entitled to vote the Plan. The estimated aggregate amount of claims is $982.7mn (although the $518.1mn held by Legacy Reserves LP will get no distribution) and the estimated recovery is 3.1%-4.8%. Each holder of an Allowed Notes Claim shall receive its respective pro rata share of the Notes Claim Shares (about 2.5% of the emerged Debtors' equity, see Equity Allocation table below). Holders of Notes Claims that are Qualified Noteholders will also receive Subscription Rights to participate in the Rights Offering. This estimated Notes Claim recovery includes potential receipt of the Participation Premium Shares, as such shares will be available to each Holder of Notes Claims pursuant to the terms of the Plan and the Rights Offering Procedures. The estimated Notes Claim projected recovery without taking into account such shares is 2.0%-3.0%.
Class 6 (“General Unsecured Claims”) is unimpaired, deemed to accept and not entitled to vote on the Plan. The estimated aggregate amount of claims is $2.0-4.0mn and the estimated recovery is 100%.
