Not that I think the 2nd lien holders have a snowballs chance in Hades going forward but a credit bidding lender must provide additional value for unencumbered assets otherwise it is acquiring unencumbered assets for free.
imo No one knows how much, or even if, ATP will be successful on any level in its lawsuit with BP. Never-the-less that claim has value therefore the DIP lenders should have to pay real cash over and above their credit bid to acquire it.
And to take it a step further that claim should be marketed (just as all the other deep water assets were supposedly marketed) to insure the highest bid(s).
