June 1, 2024 - June 30, 2024
Operating Expenses and Other (1.5)
Total Sources of Cash 0.6
For the month of June spent $900K more than cash brought in
Free cash 5.0 - Only $5M available for distribution, since last distro
Correct, combined with residual cash flow that would be less than stand alone operating expenses
If Oper. expenses continue to be more than cash generation, then creditors are losing money. Will be push to IPO to become a SPAC or remote chance of chapter 7
https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/spac.asp
More likely a SPAC, IMO
New MOR is out. Oper. expense more than cash generation
https://document.epiq11.com/document/getdocumentbycode?docId=4362348&projectCode=LBH&source=DM
Only $2M coming in and $1M of it spent on operating expense.
Let's see what the next MOR shows.
Its up to the BOD, judge would just sign off on it
Any news will likely be on the dockets...

FYI re stock transfers:
Cede & Company, also known as Cede and Co., is a specialized financial institution in the United States. It plays a crucial role in processing transfers of stock certificates on behalf of the Depository Trust Company (DTC). Let’s delve into some key points about Cede & Co.:
Purpose and Function:
Cede & Co. processes stock transfers for the DTC, which serves as the central securities depository for the U.S. National Market System (including the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq).
Investors and companies give up their stock ownership to Cede & Co., which acts as an intermediary.
Most publicly issued stocks in the U.S. are technically owned by Cede & Co., not individual investors.
Securities held at the DTC are registered in Cede & Co.‘s nominee name and recorded on brokerage firms’ books for beneficial owners1.
Ownership and Structure:
Cede & Co. owns a staggering 83% of all issued stocks in the United States.
The remaining 17% is directly owned by registered holders through the direct registration system.
Cede & Co. was founded in 1996 specifically to efficiently process stock transfers for the DTC.
Its name, “Cede,” is derived from “certificate depository” as a shorthand1.
Nominee Role:
Securities managed by the DTC are deposited with or on behalf of the DTC and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as the nominee.
Cede & Co. holds the record of ownership for these securities.
It operates as a separate legal entity from the DTC and is structured as a partnership.
The partnership structure allows general partners to order stock transfers without additional corporate resolutions2.
Location:
Cede & Co. is headquartered at 55 Water Street, Suite Conc4, New York, New York 100411.
In summary, Cede & Co. plays a pivotal role in the complex world of stock ownership and transfers, acting as the custodial nominee for securities managed by the DTC. Its name reflects its function as a certificate depository, even though most investors don’t directly hold property rights in stock but rather have contractual rights tied to Cede & Co.

The 4 CTs are now on the OTC Expert Market
https://blog.otcmarkets.com/2021/03/25/understanding-the-expert-market/
The SEC’s amendments to Rule 15c2-11 go into effect on September 28, 2021 and will effectively eliminate public broker-dealer quoting in securities of issuers that do not make current information publicly available. Giving effect to the SEC’s stated goals of encouraging public company disclosure, OTC Markets Group will use its Expert Market SM as a venue for broker-dealers to publish unsolicited quotes representing customer limit orders in “No Information” securities.
What is the Expert Market?
OTC Markets Group currently operates the Expert Market as a distinct market tier for a small number of companies. However, on September 28th this market tier will expand to include a broader range of securities. Following the upcoming changes to Rule 15c2-11, companies that do not make current information publicly available under the rule will shift to the Expert Market.
Quotes in the Expert Market will be “Unsolicited Only.” This means broker-dealers may use the Expert Market to meet their Best Execution responsibilities under FINRA Rules and publish unsolicited quotes representing Limit Orders from retail and institutional investors who are not affiliates or insiders of the company.
Who can access the Expert Market?
Quotations in Expert Market securities are restricted from public viewing. Only broker-dealers and professional or sophisticated investors are permitted to view quotations in Expert Market securities.
Despite the restrictions on who can view quotations, the Expert Market does not impose restrictions on who can trade securities. Rule 15c2-11 governs a broker’s ability to submit, publish or distribute quotations (i.e. bids and offers) in OTC securities. The Rule does not apply to the underlying transactions or the ability of an investor to buy or sell a security.
Contact your broker for information concerning restrictions or qualifications for accessing Expert Market securities.
Why is the Expert Market Important?
The Expert Market offers a regulated trading venue where broker-dealers can satisfy their best-execution obligations. It offers insight into activity that would otherwise be hidden in the opaque Grey Market.
How is Expert Market different from the Grey Market?
The Grey Market is an opaque market where broker-dealers are not willing or able to publicly quote OTC securities given the lack of investor interest, company information or regulatory compliance.
Unlike the Grey Market – where this is no public quote at all – the Expert Market provides additional price transparency, as it allows for unsolicited quoting.
How are Companies affected by these Changes?
The answer to this depends on the market on which your securities trade. In order to be quoted by broker-dealers on the Pink Market, a company must provide current public disclosure on an ongoing basis. This may include disclosure provided via the SEC’s EDGAR filing system, through a non-U.S. stock exchange or regulator, or to OTC Markets Group directly via our OTCIQ platform. Companies that do not take the necessary steps to make current disclosure available pursuant to the Pink Current or Pink Limited Guidelines may migrate to the Expert Market. Visit the Information for Pink Companies section of our website for further details.
What are the Key Dates for the Implementation of Rule 15c2-11?
We have asked companies to provide the required disclosure to OTC Markets by June 30th. This request was to ensure that our Issuer Compliance Team had sufficient time to confirm the availability of current information and update market status for a company’s securities prior to the rule’s compliance date on September 28th. We continue to process disclosure requests received after June 30th, however we may not be able to process all such applications prior to September 28th.
Under new Rule 15c2-11, Securities that do not meet the Rule’s current public disclosure requirements will be removed from Pink as of the September deadline.
" An initial payment will be sent to ECAPS holders on Dec. 8, according to a notice issued Wednesday.
LBHI is currently set to recover a far smaller payout on its subordinated debts, but could seek to challenge the decision at the UK Court of Appeal.
Whether there will be enough money to pay out on the entire claim will depend on how much more administrators at PwC are able to recover from the UK insolvency. In the judgment, Hildyard referred to estimates by administrators of between £233 million and £490 million for surplus left to be distributed to creditors.
Lehman’s European arm lost a case over a longstanding litigation relating to crisis-era credit default swaps last year, but a report from administrators at PwC in April said that it was likely that decision would be appealed. Success in that case could increase payouts for creditors like Deutsche Bank and LBHI.
