“Incorporated under Dutch law. This may imply it would be overseas from the United States. As per the ECAPS prospectus:
We also know all current claims being traded for the last couple of years are ONLY LBT claim. Lets move on to the next
The Entity shall not own any interest, directly or indirectly, in any Debtor or Lehman Tax Affiliate (other than LBT), nor shall any Debtor or Lehman Tax Affiliate be a direct or indirect beneficiary or owner of the Entity.
This means that when LBHI transfers the shares to LBT, LBT will not own ANY ownership stake in LBHI or any other debtor except itself (LBT). since most of the claims left being traded are LBT claims, this may be a great thing.
this means this company to be formed under Dutch law will be a new entity. This also means the remaining debt that LBT holds against LBHI will be exchanged for the shares that LBHI transfers to LBT which will reduce the debt owed by LBHI.
As per the LBHI plan section 15.2:
may form and transfer certain assets of the Debtors and/or Debtor Controlled Entities to new (or utilize existing) entities, including, without limitation, one or more separately managed partnerships, REITs or other investment vehicles,
Keyword(s) “new entities” which is also stated in the LBT transfer of shares.
The contributed assets will be debt! In return they will give you new securities AKA equity DEBT FOR EQUITY SWAP
Oh and for mellowbird, the transfer of shares to LBT document doesn’t include the “may” language ;)
