Senior Creditors or CTs' Holders Money? When will this Hell End? Reallocation or Theft in Bankruptcy? Too many moving parts in Bankruptcy? Keep it simple and turn the lights back on. LOL


Quarterly Financial Report as of June 30, 2023 (Unaudited)

Note 4 – Legal Proceedings (continued)
(a) ECAPS
LBHI owns a claim of GBP 1.1 billion related to the
subordinated debt issued by LBH PLC, a non-
controlled affiliate in administration in the UK. LBH
PLC also has outstanding subordinated notes owned
by three third party trusts known as ECAPS I, II, and
III. A dispute over the relative priority of these
subordinated debt instruments issued by LBH PLC
was litigated in the UK courts. The Court of Appeal
held that the subordinated notes owned by ECAPS I-
III are senior to the subordinated debt owned by
LBHI. In August 2022, the Supreme Court declined
to consider LBHI’s appeal of that decision.
On March 14, 2023, LBH PLC filed an application to
the High Court of Justice in England for directions
(the "Application") on certain legal issues which are
relevant to the priority and payment of future
distributions to holders of its subordinated debts. The
outcome of this Application will have a material
effect on LBHI recoveries.
On May 4, 2023, a procedural case management
hearing was held in the UK High Court pertaining to
this Application.
The trial is scheduled to begin on October 9th.
For further information, please refer to the “ongoing
litigation” section of LBH PLC’s website:
www.pwc.co.uk/services/business-
recovery/administrations/non-lbie-companies/lbh-
plc-in-administration.html
Solely for the purpose of maintaining the
confidentiality of its assumptions relating to these
uncertain recoveries, which are informed by
privileged advice from counsel, LBHI treats
recoveries from this matter as an Excluded Recovery
in its June 30, 2023 Cash Flow Estimates. As a result,
LBHI excludes from its June 30, 2023 Cash Flow
Estimates all potential recoveries from its
subordinated debt claim against LBH PLC (including
indirectly LBIE’s litigation against AGR), and its
agreements with holders of approximately 16.8% of
the ECAPS.

(b) LBIE vs. AG Financial Products (“AGR”)
On November 28, 2011, LBIE sued AG Financial
Products Inc. (“AGR”), an affiliate of Assured
Guaranty Corp., which in the past had provided credit
protection to counterparties under credit default
swaps. LBIE’s complaint, which was filed in the
Supreme Court of the State of New York (the “New
York Supreme Court”), alleged that AGR improperly
terminated nine credit derivative transactions
between LBIE and AGR and improperly calculated
the termination payment in connection with the
termination of 28 other credit derivative transactions
between LBIE and AGR. LBIE asserted in the
complaint that AGR owes LBIE a termination
payment of approximately $1.4 billion.
On July 2, 2018, the New York Supreme Court
dismissed LBIE’s claims with respect to the nine
allegedly improperly terminated transactions in their
entirety. That ruling remains subject to appeal. The
Court also dismissed the claim that AGR breached its
implied duty of good faith and fair dealing with
respect to the valuation of the 28 terminated credit
derivatives transactions but found that there is a
genuine question of fact as to the reasonableness and
good faith of AGR’s calculation of its loss, and
which allowed LBIE to proceed with its claim against
AGR for breach of contract.
The trial in the New York State Supreme Court,
Commercial Division concluded on November 19,
2021. On March 8, 2023, the Court issued its
decision in favor of AGR and granted AGR’s claim.
LBIE will have 30 days from entry of the judgment
to file a Notice of Appeal. AGR filed a motion on
April 13, 2023 seeking to have interest on the
judgment applied at 9% compounding based upon the
ISDA and LBIE opposed that motion arguing that the
applicable rate was 8% simple as dictated by LBIE’s
Scheme. The Court denied AGR’s motion and
determined that the appropriate rate was 8% simple.
AGR filed a Notice of Appeal of that decision and
filed its appeal brief on September 22, 2023.
Solely for the purpose of maintaining the
confidentiality of its assumptions relating to these
uncertain recoveries, which are informed by
privileged advice from counsel, LBHI treats the AGR
litigation as an Excluded Recovery herein and
therefore excludes estimates for the AGR litigation
from these June 30, 2023 Cash Flow Estimates.
