By: Liz Kiesche, SA News Editor
Amazing stuff...if "As the World Turns" wanted a new soap opera plot, here it is. What a mess.
Recent material events early on in 2021 re: Medley LLC that in turn had an effect on MDLY. What it all means is yet to be determined. Its just fyi information if you're following the Medley LLC saga.
Why it should be noted is this represents activity of a 16% ownership.
Angelic Diaz Taube SC 13GMEDLEY MANAGEMENT / Taube Angelic Diaz ownership change
(1) Pursuant to court approval of a marital settlement order for a divorce, on January 17, 2021, Ms. Taube acquired voting and dispositive power over 500,000 Class A units of limited partnership interest (“Medley LLC Units”) in Medley LLC, of which Medley Management Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), is the managing member.

Not wrong.
Apparently there was some heartburn over Kravitzs role/involvment.
He was hand picked by the BoD a month before the filing. Does this mean that automatically should disqualify him? No. But this managing position must be filled by someone as verifiably independent as possible.
So its out with Kravitz and in with Dreyer..for now at least.
56Chevy I would appreciate your thoughts on 8k
Today’s 8k and amended LLC agreement reads like preparations for termination, am I wrong?
Michelle Dreyer specializes in this sort of thing.
Thanks.

Medley Management (MDLY) Announces Regulatory Matter Update
May 13, 2021 5:28 PM
Medley Management (NYSE: MDLY) disclosed:
As previously reported, on March 7, 2021 (the “Petition Date”), Medley LLC (“Medley LLC”) commenced a voluntary case (the “Chapter 11 Case”) under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). In connection with the commencement of the Chapter 11 Case, Medley LLC disclosed in its pleadings filed with the Bankruptcy Court certain matters related to Medley Management Inc.’s (“MDLY”) and Medley LLC’s business, including the regulatory matter described below:
On September 17, 2019 the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Division of Enforcement (the “Staff”) informed MDLY that it was conducting an informal inquiry and requested the production and preservation of certain documents and records. MDLY fully cooperated with the Staff’s informal inquiry and began voluntarily providing the Staff with any requested documents.
By letter dated December 18, 2019, the Staff advised MDLY that a formal order of private investigation (the “Order”) had been issued and that the informal inquiry was now a formal investigation. The Order indicated that the investigation relates to Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and Sections 206(1), 206(2), and 206(4) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Rule 206(4)-8, Sections 13(a) and 14(a) of the Exchange Act and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1, 13a-11, 13a-13, and 14a-9 thereunder. MDLY continued to cooperate fully with the investigation.
On May 7, 2021, each of MDLY, Medley LLC, and six pre-IPO owners of Medley, each of whom is a current or former officer (the “Individuals”) received a “Wells Notice” from the Staff relating to MDLY’s previously-disclosed SEC investigation. The Wells Notices provided that the proposed action would allege violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder (including as a control person pursuant to Section 20(e) of the Exchange Act); Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933; Sections 206(1) and/or (2) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940; Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and Rules 14a-3 and 14a-9 thereunder; Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act and Rules 12b-11, 12b-20, 13a-1, 13a-11, 13a-13, and 13a-15(a) thereunder; and Regulation S-T. The Wells Notices also provided that the Staff’s recommendation may involve a civil injunctive action, public administrative proceeding, and/or cease-and-desist proceeding, and may seek remedies that include an injunction, a cease-and-desist order, disgorgement, pre-judgment interest, civil money penalties, censure, and limitations on activities or bars from association.
A Wells Notice is neither a formal charge of wrongdoing nor a final determination that the recipient has violated any law. The Wells Notices informed MDLY, Medley LLC and the Individuals that the Staff has made a preliminary determination to recommend that the SEC file an enforcement action against MDLY, Medley LLC and each of the Individuals that would allege certain violations of the federal securities laws.
The Wells Notices relate to, among other matters: MDLY’s and Medley LLC’s disclosures relating to MDLY’s assets under management (“AUM”), its fee-earning assets under management (“FEAUM”), trends and risks related to AUM and FEAUM, and specifically, violations of the federal securities laws relating to such disclosures in MDLY’s registration statement relating to its initial public offering, Medley LLC’s registration statements relating to its bond offerings, and MDLY and Medley LLC’s periodic reports under the Exchange Act; MDLY’s and Medley LLC’s disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that the information required in reports filed under the Exchange Act; and MDLY’s financial projections included in a joint proxy statement/prospectus, including any amendments thereto, in connection with a proposed (but ultimately terminated) merger among MDLY, Sierra Income Corporation and Medley Capital Corporation.
MDLY, Medley LLC and the Individuals currently intend to pursue the Wells Notice process, which will include the opportunity to respond to the Staff’s position.
Medley LLC Plan of Reorganization Update
As previously reported, in connection with its Chapter 11 Case, Medley LLC filed with the Bankruptcy Court on the Petition Date a proposed Plan of Reorganization (“Plan”) and a proposed Disclosure Statement related thereto (“Disclosure Statement”). Pursuant to filings with the Bankruptcy Court, on May 13, 2021 [Bankruptcy Docket No. 147], Medley LLC withdrew its original Plan [Bankruptcy Docket No. 7] and Disclosure Statement [Bankruptcy Docket No. 8]. Medley LLC currently intends to file with the Bankruptcy Court an amended Plan and Disclosure Statement as soon as reasonably practicable. There can be no assurances that Medley LLC will obtain the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of an amended Disclosure Statement and/or confirmation of an amended Plan, or that if an amended Plan is confirmed, that the reorganization of Medley LLC will be successfully implemented as contemplated by such amended Plan.

How do you feel about the Wells Notice? Seems in reading the docket that the SEC has issues with how the board set up the BK. Even using "fraud" terms.
Hi. Confusion surrounding MDLY is understandable.
It could be argued this MDLY IHub board is technically not the correct place to post news & comments surrounding what at this point ONLY involves an entity of Medley Management Inc. That entity is Medley LLC.
The filing for banruptcy by Medley LLC included this;
· The Medley investment platform is comprised of a number of investment advisers and other related entities. Medley LLC is the only entity on the platform that has filed for Chapter 11 protection. Medley Management Inc. (NYSE: MDLY) (“MDLY”) and the other affiliated adviser entities on the Medley platform are not filing any bankruptcy petitions.
· Medley LLC will continue to operate its business as “debtor-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the orders of the Bankruptcy Court. To ensure its ability to continue operating in the ordinary course of business, Medley LLC has filed with the Bankruptcy Court motions seeking a variety of “first day” relief, including authority to continue utilizing and maintaining its existing cash management system.
Business operations across the Medley platform including providing investment and advisory services to its clients are continuing without interruption.
----------------
So what's this talk of bankruptcy all about?
Again MDLY, the parent company, DID NOT and has not filed for bankruptcy. At this point in time this bankruptcy (bk) ONLY involves MEDLEY LLC.
The only halt in trading I am aware of happened to MDLY's stock and it happened 2 months prior to their entity Medley LLC filing for bankruptcy protection.
Medley LLC is not a public company and has no common stock however Medley LLC did go out and publically raise approx $120MM from investors in the form of Senior unsecured Bonds. Upon raising the money Medley LLC issued two bonds..which are tradeable. They are MDLX and MDLQ.
MEDLEY LLC missed their obligation to pay interest on those Notes. Fast forward - MEDLEY LLC filed bankruptcy soon after.
The bottom line is approx. $120 Million dollars is gone..and the investors want to know 1) Why is it gone? 2) WHAT happened to it?..and 3) WHERE or to whom did it go? These are hard questions the debtor is going to have to answer.
Rumors you've heard this case is, or soon will be, a ch7 are at this time completely false and unfounded. The case as it stands right now remains a Chapter 11.
What may have confused you was todays posting that 'the Debtor's' Plan of Reorganization (POR) was withdrawn...and it was withdrawn by the Debtors themselves. Why? The odds of that POR succeeding were zero..and even the Debtors knew it.
All of the players in this bk are now assembled. And this bankruptcy case really begins now.
So why post information about a bankruptcy on a board of a stock that is not technically speaking "involved"? Its like having serious smoke coming out of one of the engine rooms of a large ship your on. Its information shareholders of the parent company have a right to know and should know. Right now the bankruptcy is "contained" solely within Medley LLC and the proper players are in place to embark on a fact finding mission and then hammer out a solution. That takes time. The wheels of justice can grind very slowly and get very expensive before its done.
I think it prudent for MDLY equity holders to know what the situation is. For example - Had the debtors POR been approved it not only would have been a major screwing to the Note holders but MDLY shareholders would have experienced major dilution they had no idea was coming.
Smoke & fire of this sort at MEDLEy LLC has the potential to spread "elsewhere" and quickly. That elsewhere could be to the parent MDLY.
Make sense?
56Chevy - question
Im trying to interpret whats happening here in light of the stock halt. Can you give clarity beyond what you've posted? Some are posting Ch7 is happening. You seem to post otherwise from the kccllc site.
Can you give some better laymans info for shareholders here on whats the current status?
TIA
Who is this caped crusader, this Carl W?
Court Docket # 0146
In light of building scrutiny, and to no ones surprise, this latest Docket [0146] made its appearance early in the day. What would that be you ask?? - The POR the debtor threw up against the wall on the day of the filing to see if by some miracle it would stick has been withdrawn.

I have nearly two decades of investing experience and corporate governance engagement. I have worked on M&A and restructuring transactions. I leverage my experience to provide an expert opinion to individual shareholders when good corporate governance practices aren't being followed.
Summary
Deafening silence from new management leaves shareholders in the dark, much like before under prior management.
Ainsberg and Garvey, two directors that breached fiduciary duty to shareholders are hanging around and giving themselves raises.
It is anyone's guess what is going on.
The Golden Goose seems to just have a new master.

There are now mounting responses to things that went bump in the night on March 7th over at Medley LLC.
Some of those responses were public opinion pieces such as the one linked below but more recently we now have something far more formidable in the ring with the court appointed formation of an Official Unsecured Creditor Committee (OUCC).
The OUCC wasted no time and is in the process of securing professional representation.
Re: the opinion piece I felt it was worth passing on to this board. The author does a good job of laying out who is who in this bk and what is at stake.
It starts out;
New Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Filing - Medley LLC
AUM Drops Like an Anchor to the Bottom of the Bay
Mar 7
Medley LLC
NYC-based-but-DE-incorporation Medley LLC (the “Debtor”) is a direct subsidiary of Medley Management Inc. ($MDLY)(together with Debtor and the Debtor’s direct and indirect subs, the “Company”), a publicly traded business development corporation that focuses on originating senior secured loans to US-based private middle market companies with revenues between $50mm-$1b. The Company has $1.3b of AUM.
$1.3b of AUM still sounds impressive, right? Welllllllll…
· In 2018, the Company had $2.8b of AUM and total revenues of $56.5mm.
· In 2019, the Company had $2.1b of AUM and total revenues of ~$48.8mm, a decline of 23.2% and 13.6%, respectively.
· In 2020, the Company fell to $1.3b of AUM, a 38% decline. One can extrapolate that revenue dipped into the $20mms. The Company doesn’t specify in its bankruptcy papers.
The problem is that, while this particular corporate entity is somewhat remote in the overall MDLY structure, it does have publicly-traded debt held primarily by retail investors. The following issuances are outstanding:
$69mm of ‘24 7.25% senior unsecured notes
$53.6mm of ‘26 6.875% senior unsecured notes

Voluntary Petition for Reorganization by Medley LLC (3/07/21)
Medley LLC (“Medley LLC”) commenced a voluntary case (the “Chapter 11 Case”) under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Chapter 11 Case is captioned In re: Medley LLC, Case No. 21-10526.
The Medley investment platform is comprised of a number of investment advisers and other related entities. Medley LLC is the only entity on the platform that has filed for Chapter 11 protection. Medley Management Inc. (NYSE: MDLY) (“MDLY”) and the other affiliated adviser entities on the Medley platform are not filing any bankruptcy petitions.

Proposed Plan of Reorganization
In connection with the Chapter 11 Case, Medley LLC filed with the Bankruptcy court a proposed Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) and a proposed Disclosure Statement related thereto (the “Disclosure Statement”). Medley LLC intends to seek the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Disclosure Statement and confirmation of the Plan. There can be no assurances that Medley LLC will obtain the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Disclosure Statement and/or confirmation of the Plan, or that if the Plan is approved, that the reorganization of Medley LLC will be successfully implemented as contemplated by the Plan.

Item 8.01. Other Events.
In connection with the commencement of the Chapter 11 Case, Medley LLC disclosed in its pleadings filed with the Bankruptcy Court certain matters related to MDLY’s and Medley LLC’s business, including the regulatory matter described below:
On September 17, 2019 the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Division of Enforcement (the “Staff”) informed MDLY that it was conducting an informal inquiry and requested the production and preservation of certain documents and records. MDLY fully cooperated with the Staff’s informal inquiry and began voluntarily providing the Staff with any requested documents.
By letter dated December 18, 2019, the Staff advised MDLY that a formal order of private investigation (the “Order”) had been issued and that the informal inquiry was now a formal investigation. The Order indicated that the investigation relates to Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and Sections 206(1), 206(2), and 206(4) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Rule 206(4)-8, Sections 13(a) and 14(a) of the Exchange Act and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1, 13a-11, 13a-13, and 14a-9 thereunder. MDLY continues to cooperate fully with the investigation.
MDLY cannot predict the outcome of, or the timeframe for, the conclusion of this investigation. An adverse outcome could have a material effect on MDLY’s and Medley LLC’s business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Nice move in AH; On news!
MDLY is prepping for a huge run in the coming days.
The lowest float big board stock.
Cracking up all day here as I watched the crooked MMs play around for me to sell to them. Loaded this at $0.49 on the demented sell-off. It was $8 prior. So, the rest of my shares will see $8.

Does this company have a website ?
Something strange was going on here yesterday...
MDLY was very active and jumped in pre-market trading. Trading stopped with five minutes of the open.
It is possible that investors thought MDLY would benefit greatly by the sale of the JV by MCC?

OK.
So no one was contacted the company... yet.
