UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA 

RICHMOND DIVISION 

In re: 

Alpha Natural Resources, Inc., et al., 

 Debtors. 

Chapter 11 

Case No. 15-33896-KRH 

(Jointly Administered) 

THE UNITED STATES TRUSTEE’S OBJECTION TO DISCLOSURE 

STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO JOINT PLAN OF REORGANIZATION 

 OF DEBTORS AND DEBTORS IN POSSESSION DATED MARCH 7, 2016 

 The United States Trustee for Region Four, which includes the Eastern District of 

Virginia, Richmond Division (the “United States Trustee”), pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 1125, 

and in furtherance of the administrative responsibilities imposed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 

586(a), hereby objects to the approval of the “Disclosure Statement With Respect to Joint 

Plan of Reorganization of Debtors and Debtors in Possession” (the “Disclosure 

Statement”). 

 In support thereof, the United States Trustee represents and argues as follows: 

LEGAL FRAMEWORK 

1. The basic structure of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code is a system 

where a plan of reorganization or liquidation is proposed to the creditors who then vote 

on whether to accept or reject the plan. 11 U.S.C. §§ 1121, 1125-1129. After the plan is 

voted upon, the Court determines whether the plan can be “confirmed” by determining 

Case 15-33896-KRH Doc 2376 Filed 05/10/16 Entered 05/10/16 13:12:00 Desc Main

Document Page 1 of 39
- 2 - 

whether the statutory requirements for confirmation are met. 11 U.S.C. § 1129. Once the 

plan is “confirmed,” it becomes a contract between the reorganized debtors and all of 

their creditors which replaces all of the debtors’ prior obligations. See, e.g., In re 

Shenandoah Realty Partners, L.P., 287 B.R. 867, 871 (Bankr. W.D. Va. 2002); In re 

Lacy, 183 B.R. 890, 892 n.1 (Bankr. D. Colo. 1995); 11 U.S.C. § 1141. 

2. In order to provide creditors with the information necessary to make an 

informed vote on the plan, the Bankruptcy Code requires the proponent of the plan to 

provide creditors with a “disclosure statement.” 11 U.S.C. § 1125(b). The purpose of the 

disclosure statement is to provide creditors with information about the debtor, the plan 

and their treatment thereunder, necessary for creditors to make an informed and reasoned 

vote. See, e.g., In re Monnier Bros, 755 F.2d 1336, 1342 (8th Cir. 1985) (“[t]he primary 

purpose of a disclosure statement is to give the creditors the information they need to 

decide whether to accept the plan”); In re Forest Grove, LLC, 448 B.R. 729, 737 (Bankr. 

D.S.C. 2011) (“[t]he purpose of a disclosure statement is to clearly provide creditors with 

information regarding the debtor’s plan and their treatment under that plan”); In re 

Phoenix Petroleum Co., 278 B.R. 385, 392 (Bankr. E.D. Pa. 2001) (“the general purpose 

of the disclosure statement is to provide ‘adequate information’ to enable ‘impaired’ 

classes of creditors and interest holders to make an informed judgment about the 

proposed plan and determine whether to vote in favor of or against that plan”). 

3. Although precisely what information must be contained in a disclosure 

statement varies depending on the particulars of the case, a disclosure statement must 

contain “adequate information,” which is defined as: 

Case 15-33896-KRH Doc 2376 Filed 05/10/16 Entered 05/10/16 13:12:00 Desc Main

Document Page 2 of 39
- 3 - 

[I]nformation of a kind, and in sufficient detail, as far 

as is reasonably practicable in light of the nature and 

history of the debtor and the condition of the debtor’s 

books and records ... that would enable such a 

hypothetical investor of the relevant class to make an 

informed judgment about the plan. 

11 U.S.C. § 1125(a). “Adequate information” for disclosure statement purposes has been 

described as “all information that is reasonably necessary to permit creditors and partiesin-interest to fairly and effectively evaluate the plan.” In re Robert’s Plumbing & 

Heating, LLC, Case No. 10-23221, 2011 WL 2972092 at * 2 (Bankr. D. Md., July 20, 

2011); see also In re A.H. Robbins Co., Inc., Case No. 98-1080, 1998 WL 637401 at * 3 

(4th Cir. 1998) (adequate information means “sufficient information to permit a 

reasonable, typical creditors to make an informed judgment about the merits of the 

proposed plan”). 

4. Although what constitutes “adequate information” varies from case to case, 

Courts have held that the following types of information should be included in a 

disclosure statement: 

i. The circumstances that gave rise to the filing of the case; 

ii. A complete description of the available assets and their value; 

iii. The anticipated future income of the debtor; 

iv. The source of the information provided in the disclosure statement; 

v. The condition and performance of the debtor while in chapter 11; 

vi. Information regarding claims against the estate; 

vii. A liquidation analysis setting forth the estimated return that creditors 

would receive under chapter 7;

Document Page 3 of 39
- 4 - 

viii. The accounting and valuation methods used to produce the financial 

information in the disclosure statement; 

ix. A summary of the plan; 

x. An estimate of all administrative expenses, including attorneys’ fees 

and accountant’s fees; 

xi. The collectability of any accounts receivable; 

xii. Any financial information, valuations or pro forma projections that 

would be relevant to creditors’ determination of whether to accept or 

reject the plan; 

xiii. Information relevant to the risks being taken by the creditors and 

interest holders; 

xiv. The actual or projected value that can be obtained from avoidable 

transfers; 

xv. The existence, likelihood and possible success of non-bankruptcy 

litigation; and 

xvi. The tax consequences of the plan. 

See, e.g., Collier on Bankruptcy ¶ 1125.02[2]. 

THE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT LACKS ADEQUATE INFORMATION 

5. On March 7, 2016, Debtor, Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. and 148 of its 

affiliated entities (collectively, “Alpha”), filed a “Joint Plan of Reorganization of Debtors 

and Debtors in Possession,” (the “Plan”) and an accompanying “Disclosure Statement 

With Respect to the Joint Plan of Reorganization of Debtors and Debtors in Possession” 

(the “Disclosure Statement”). (See Doc. 1703.1

) 

 

1

 The Plan is attached as Exhibit A to Document 1703 and the Disclosure Statement is attached as Exhibit B to 

Document 1703. 

Case 15-33896-KRH Doc 2376 Filed 05/10/16 Entered 05/10/16 13:12:00 Desc Main

Document Page 4 of 39
- 5 - 

6. Debtors’ Disclosure Statement is insufficient and lacks adequate 

information. 

7. By way of example only, the following deficiencies exist: 

The Disclosure Statement Fails to Adequately Describe the Reorganized Debtor 

8. Although this case was originally represented to the Court and the creditors 

as a reorganization, the proposed Plan makes clear that the end-game here is more in the 

nature of (if not a complete) liquidation. 

9. So far, Debtors have sought permission to sell their “non-core” assets, their 

“core” assets and their “natural gas rights” (See Docs. 707, 1646, 2055.)2

 What the 

Disclosure Statement leaves entirely unclear is what assets are being retained and what 

business the Reorganized Debtor will conduct.3

 Nowhere in the Disclosure Statement is 

there any identification of what, if any, assets the Reorganized Debtors will retain after its 

various sales. 

10. With respect to the business the Reorganized Debtor will conduct, at one 

point the Disclosure Statement indicates that the Reorganized Debtor’s “principal 

purpose” will be “conducting and completing environmental reclamation” – in other 

words, putting its mining properties back into a safe and environmentally stable state. 

 

2

 Debtors have also received permission to sell off or abandon certain “non-core miscellaneous real or personal 

property” that it describes as “relatively de minimis” in value as well as its ownership in Rice Energy. (See 

Disclosure Statement at 28.) 

3

 This problem is exacerbated by Debtor’s failure to include a liquidation analysis or any financial projections. (See, 

infra, ¶¶ 15-21.) 

Case 15-33896-KRH Doc 2376 Filed 05/10/16 Entered 05/10/16 13:12:00 Desc Main

Document Page 5 of 39
- 6 - 

(See Disclosure Statement at 2, § I.A.) 4 However, the Disclosure Statement then 

indicates the proposed Plan will “allow the Debtors’ business to restructure as going 

concerns.” Id.

11. There is no information about what business these going concerns will 

conduct, what income or profit (if any) Alpha expects to generate (and the basis for such 

projections) or any other information that would allow a creditor to determine whether 

the proposed Plan constitutes the best course of action or whether it is likely to provide 

the best recovery for such creditors. 

12. If, in fact, the Reorganized Debtor is going to conduct no business other 

than to comply with its statutorily required clean-up and reclamation obligations, and will 

be essentially winding down Alpha’s business, then the Disclosure Statement needs to 

fully, clearly and openly disclose that. 

13. If, on the other hand, the Reorganized Debtor is actually going to continue 

to operate in some form as a going concern, then that, along with projections as to its 

income, expenses and potential profits needs to be fully, clearly and openly disclosed. 

14. Additionally, without knowing both what assets are remaining after the 

sales and what business is being conducted after the sale, it is impossible to determine 

whether the discharge provided for in the Plan is actually appropriate. 11 U.S.C. 

§ 1141(d)(3). 

 

4

 As Debtors explain, reclamation of mines no longer in use is a legal obligation arising out of the Surface Mining 

and Reclamation Act of 1977 and similar state statutes. (See Disclosure Statement at 16.) Debtors estimate that the 

cost of complying with its reclamation obligations will be “significantly higher” than $683 Million. Id. at 16, n.2.

- 7 - 

The Disclosure Statement Lacks a 

Liquidation Analysis and Financial Projections 

15. According to the Disclosure Statement, a liquidation analysis is contained 

in Exhibit C to the Disclosure Statement and financial projections of the Reorganized 

Debtor are contained in Exhibit D to the Disclosure Statement.5

16. Neither of these exhibits is actually attached to the Disclosure Statement 

that was filed with the Court. Even assuming some form of these exhibits is attached to 

the version of the Disclosure Statement that is ultimately circulated, the parties entitled to 

review, comment upon and object to the statement prior to circulation pursuant to Rule 

3017 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure are denied the ability to review, 

comment upon and object to those. 

17. This information is not contained anywhere else in the Disclosure 

Statement. 

18. Accordingly, the parties in interest entitled to vote are denied essential 

information necessary to make an informed decision as to whether to vote to accept or 

reject the plan. 

19. Until those documents have been filed and made available for review, the 

Disclosure Statement cannot be approved. 

20. Moreover, Rule 3017(a) requires at least 28 days’ notice after a disclosure 

statement the filed before a hearing on that disclosure statement can occur. Alpha cannot 

 

5

 According to the Disclosure Statement, the Liquidation Analysis also provides the assumptions used in its 

development. (See Disclosure Statement at 53.) 

Case 15-33896-KRH Doc 2376 Filed 05/10/16 Entered 05/10/16 13:12:00 Desc Main

Document Page 7 of 39
- 8 - 

avoid that requirement by submitting a partial disclosure statement and adding to it less 

than 28 days before the hearing. 

21. The current hearing on the Disclosure Statement is May 17, 2016. Even if 

Alpha files the missing exhibits today, that does not provide the required 28 days’ notice. 

Alpha Has Not Supported the Releases and Exculpatory Clauses 

22. Both the Disclosure Statement and the Plan contain provisions for the 

release and exculpation of various non-debtor parties by other non-debtor parties from all 

sorts of liability. (See Disclosure Statement at 55-56, 58.) As described more fully 

below, Alpha has not demonstrated the appropriateness of these provisions.

23. Without reciting the releases and exculpatory clauses in their entirety, the 

release clauses cause all of Alpha’s creditors and the holders of any claim against Alpha 

to release and hold harmless the following non-debtor parties (hereafter, the “Released 

Parties”) from any liability for anything occurring prior to the Effective Date: 

(a) The DIP Agents; 

(b) The DIP Lenders; 

(c) The First Lien Agent; 

(d) The First Lien Lenders; 

(e) Any entity created by the First Lien Lenders to facilitate a successful 

credit bid of any of Debtors’ assets; and 

(f) Any Affiliate or Representative of any of these parties. 

(See Disclosure Statement at 58.) 

24. The exculpation clause is even broader. It provides that the Released 

Parties are free from liability to any “Person” (defined as “any individual, firm, 

Case 15-33896-KRH Doc 2376 Filed 05/10/16 Entered 05/10/16 13:12:00 Desc Main

Document Page 8 of 39
- 9 - 

corporation, partnership limited liability company, joint venture, association, trust, 

unincorporated organization or other entity”). (See Disclosure Statement at 58.) 

25. If the Court has some difficulty determining who precisely is being released 

and exculpated, that is because nowhere in the Disclosure Statement or in any other 

publicly available documents are the actual identities of the Released Parties’ members 

disclosed.6

 

26. Moreover, these parties are not debtors, have not fulfilled the obligations of 

debtors under the bankruptcy code and, thus, have provided no basis for receiving the 

equivalent of a bankruptcy discharge. 

27. Although there is no per se prohibition against imposing releases of nondebtors by other non-debtors (such as, in this case, the release by creditors of the DIP 

Agent or the First Lien Agent), those releases are not appropriate in every case, or even in 

most cases. See In re A.H. Robins Co., Inc., 880 F.2d 694, 702 (4th Cir. 1989). Whether 

such releases and exculpatory clauses are appropriate is dependent upon the facts and 

circumstances of each particular case. Behrmann v. National Heritage Foundation, 633 

F.3d 704, 711 (4th Cir. 2011). Approval of non-debtor releases and exculpatory clauses 

“should be granted cautiously and infrequently.” Id. at 712.

 

6

 For example, according to the DIP Financing Agreement (Doc. 27), the DIP Lenders include “each financial 

institution listed on Schedule 1.01(b) to [the DIP Financing Agreement], as well as any person that becomes a 

‘Lender’ hereunder pursuant to Section 2.23 or 11.04 and shall also include, as the contract may require, any Issuing 

Bank in its capacity as such.” (See Doc 27 at 175 of 315.) Schedule 1.01(b), however, was not actually filed along 

with the DIP Financing Agreement. At the time the Final DIP Order was entered (Doc. 465), Schedule 1.01(b) 

simply provided “N/A as of Effective Date.” No subsequent list of DIP Lenders has been filed publicly either. Thus, 

as just one example, creditors have no ability to know who constitutes the DIP Lenders being released under this 

Plan.

28. In Behrmann, the Fourth Circuit enumerated several factors that should be 

considered in determining whether third-party releases and exculpatory clauses are 

appropriate, including but not limited to the following:

(a) There is an identity of interests between the debtor and the third 

party, usually an indemnity relationship, such that a suit against the 

non-debtor is, in essence, a suit against the debtor or will deplete the 

assets of the estate;

(b) The non-debtor has contributed substantial assets to the 

reorganization; 

(c) The injunction is essential to reorganization, namely, the 

reorganization hinges on the debtor being free from indirect suits 

against parties who would have indemnity or contribution claims 

against the debtor; 

(d) The impacted class, or classes, has overwhelmingly voted to accept 

the plan; 

(e) The plan provides a mechanism to pay for all, or substantially all, of 

the class or classes affected by the injunction; 

(f) The plan provides an opportunity for those claimants who choose 

not to settle to recover in full; 

(g) The bankruptcy court made a record of specific factual findings that 

support its conclusions;

(h) A close connection between the causes of action against the third 

party and the causes of action against the debtor; and

(i) The plan of reorganization provides for payment of substantially all 

of the claims affected by the injunction.7

29. In Behrmann, the Court also made clear that in order to support these types 

of releases, the Bankruptcy Court must “find facts sufficient to support its legal 

 

7

 The Fourth Circuit compiled this non-exhaustive list from Class Five Nev. Claimants v. Dow Corning Corp. (In re 

Dow Corning Corp.), 280 F.3d 649, 658 (6th Cir. 2002), and In re Railworks Corp., 345 B.R. 529, 536 (Bankr. D. 

Md. 2006). The Fourth Circuit described these factors as “instructive.” Behrmann, 663 F.3d at 712.

conclusion that a particular debtor’s circumstances entitle it to such relief.” Behrmann, 

663 F.3d at 706-07. Indeed, in Behrmann, the Fourth Circuit reversed the bankruptcy 

court’s legal conclusion that the releases at issue there were:

(1) “essential” to NHF’s reorganization and appropriate given 

NHF's “unique circumstances”; (2) an “essential means” of 

implementing the Confirmed Plan; (3) an “integral element” 

of the transactions contemplated in the Confirmed Plan; (4) a 

“material benefit” for NHF, its bankruptcy estate, and its 

creditors; (5) “important” to the Confirmed Plan’s overall 

objectives; and (6) consistent with applicable provisions of 

the Bankruptcy Code, 

and that 

(1) NHF’s bankruptcy was “quite a unique case”; (2) there were 

“legitimate interests” for approving the Release Provisions in 

the reorganization plan; (3) the “potential for mischief” was 

“very, very high” for a dissatisfied party whose claim was 

disallowed in the bankruptcy proceeding to sue NHF’s officers 

and directors “seriatim”; (4) NHF’s obligations to indemnify its 

officers and directors could cause it to incur substantial legal 

costs in defending such claims; and (5) the Release Provisions 

served the purpose of “preventing an end-run around the plan” 

by not allowing dissatisfied claimants to attempt “second and 

third bites at the apple in another forum,” 

because the Court failed to support its conclusions with concrete factual findings. Id. at 

708, 712-13 (record citations omitted).8 On remand, the Bankruptcy Court, applying the 

factors set forth the Behrmann opinion, determined that the facts did not support allowing 

the releases. That finding was affirmed by both the District Court and the Fourth Circuit. 

 

8

 According to the Fourth Circuit, the Bankruptcy Court’s conclusions were “meaningless in the absence of specific 

factual findings explaining” them. Behrmann, 663 F.3d at 713. Thus, among the Fourth Circuit’s instructions to the 

Bankruptcy Court on remand was, “to set forth specific factual findings supporting its conclusions.” Id. 

Case 15-33896-KRH Doc 2376 Filed 05/10/16 Entered 05/10/16 13:12:00 Desc Main

National Heritage Foundation, Inc. v. Highbourne Foundation, 760 F.3d 344, 347, 352 

(4th Cir., 2014). 

30. Thus, it is clear that a plan containing such release provisions cannot be 

confirmed in the absence of a significant evidentiary presentation demonstrating facts 

supporting such relief. Behrmann, 663 F.3d at 713.

31. Because at this time, Alpha has not yet presented the factual and 

evidentiary support for the proposed release provisions, the United States Trustee is not 

in a position to support or oppose the release provisions. Nevertheless, a Disclosure 

Statement that does not set forth the factual underpinning to support releases such as 

those included in the Plan lacks adequate information. 

32. Moreover, to the extent this is in fact a liquidating plan rather than a plan of 

reorganization, and to the extent Alpha is ceasing its operations after the sale of its core 

and non-core assets, it would be difficult, if not impossible, to justify the confirmation of 

a plan including such release provisions. In fact, in a similar case involving a liquidating 

plan, this Court, noting “the Release Provision is not essential to the Debtor’s 

reorganization,” denied confirmation of a proposed Plan with a similar release provision. 

In re Neogenix Oncology, Inc., 508 B.R. 345, 359 (Bankr. D. Md. 2014).

The Exculpation Clauses are 

Impermissibly Broad and Lack the Required Exception for Court Approved Suits. 

33. In addition to the fact that entitlement to the exculpation provisions has not 

been demonstrated, the exculpation clause here is impermissibly broad on its face 

Case 15-33896-KRH Doc 2376 Filed 05/10/16 Entered 05/10/16 13:12:00 Desc Main

Document Page 12 of 39
- 13 - 

because, inter alia, (i) it is too broad in respect to who is exculpated (for example, it 

exculpates creditors such as the First Lien Lenders), and (ii) it does not provide an 

exception allowing for suits against the released parties where prior court approval is 

obtained.

34. In In re National Heritage Foundation, Inc., 478 B.R. 216 (Bankr. E.D. Va. 

2012), aff’d, National Heritage Foundation v. Highbourne Foundation, 760 F.3d 344 

(4th Cir. 2014), the court addressed exculpation clauses such as the one in this Plan. 

There, the court recognized that exculpation provision are permissible only if they are 

“properly limited and not over broad.” Id. at 234. 

35. In order to avoid over-breadth, exculpation clauses must be:

(a) narrowly tailored to meet the needs of the bankruptcy estate; 

(b) limited to parties who have performed necessary and valuable duties 

in connection with the case; 

(c) limited to acts and omissions taken in connection with the 

bankruptcy case; and 

(d) must not purport to release any pre-petition claims; 

Id.

36. Here, the clause is not narrowly tailored to meet the needs of the 

bankruptcy estate and is not limited to parties who have performed necessary and 

valuable duties in connection with the case.

37. For example, the First Lien Lenders are creditors. They have no place in an 

exculpation clause. Similarly, NewCo is simply an entity that may be formed to act as 

Case 15-33896-KRH Doc 2376 Filed 05/10/16 Entered 05/10/16 13:12:00 Desc Main

- 14 - 

bidder on Alpha’s assets and may or may not be the winning bidder.9 It too has no place 

in an exculpation clause.

38. Finally, to be permissible, an exculpation clause must contain a “gatekeeper 

function by which the Court may, in its discretion, permit an action to go forward against 

the exculpated parties.” National Heritage, 478 B.R. at 234.

39. The exculpation clause here contains no such exception.

Governmental Claims Should Be Excepted 

From The Exculpation And Release Clauses. 

40. To the extent that the Court allows for any releases or injunctions to either 

the Debtors or non-debtor third parties, the United States Trustee requests that language 

carving out Governmental claims from the proposed releases be included. At a 

minimum, language in substantially the form set forth below should be added to the 

Disclosure Statement and Plan substantially in the form set forth below:

Nothing in the Confirmation Order or the Plan shall effect a 

release of any claim by the United States Government or any 

of its agencies or any state and local authority whatsoever, 

including without limitation any claim arising under the 

Internal Revenue Code or any criminal laws of the United 

States or any state and local authority against the Released 

Parties or Exculpated Parties, nor shall anything in the 

Confirmation Order or the Plan enjoin the United States or 

any state or local authority from bringing any claim, suit, 

action or other proceedings against the released parties for 

any liability whatever, including without limitation any claim, 

suit or action arising under the Internal Revenue Code or any

 Newco is defined as “[a]ny entity created by the First Lien Lenders to facilitate a successful credit bid of any of 

Debtors’ assets.” (See Plan at 11.)

criminal laws of the United States or any state or local 

authority, nor shall anything in the Confirmation Order or the 

Plan exculpate any party from any liability to the United 

States Government or any of its agencies or any state and 

local authority whatsoever, including any liabilities arising 

under the Internal Revenue Code or any criminal laws of the 

United States or any state and local authority against the 

released parties.

The Disclosure Statement Lacks 

Adequate Information Regarding the First Lien Lender Settlement 

41. The Plan defines the “First Lien Lender Settlement” as:

a settlement among the DIP Lenders, the DIP Agents, the First 

Lien Lenders and the debtors, entered into for mutual 

consideration including: (a) the establishment of (i) the amount, 

form and sources of funding of the First Lien Lender Exit 

Contribution, (ii) the form of the First Lien Lender Distribution 

and (iii) the amount of Allowed Secured First Lien Lender 

Claims; (b) the incorporation of the Unencumbered Assets 

Settlement and the Diminution Claim Allowance Settlement; 

and (c) the entry of a Bidding Procedures Order providing for a 

stalking horse bid by the First Lien Lenders. 

(See Plan at 8-9.) 

42. The First Lien Lender Settlement is not attached to the Disclosure 

Statement or apparently otherwise publicly available. Additionally, the terms of the First 

Lien Lender Settlement are not disclosed in the Disclosure Statement and are apparently 

not otherwise publicly available.

43. Nevertheless, nearly every aspect of the Plan is governed by the 

undisclosed terms of the First Lien Lender Settlement. For example, under the terms of 

the Plan, the general unsecured claimants (class 6), an impaired class entitled to vote on 

Case 15-33896-KRH Doc 2376 Filed 05/10/16 Entered 05/10/16 13:12:00 Desc Main

Document Page 15 of 39
- 16 - 

the Plan, will receive “a Pro Rata share of any assets contributed to the General 

Unsecured Claims Asset Pool.” (See Plan at 21.)

44. The General Unsecured Claims Asset Pool, however, includes 

“consideration in the form and amount to be determined pursuant to the First Lien Lender 

Settlement.” (See Plan at 9.) Thus, general unsecured creditors cannot begin to analyze 

their treatment under the Plan because they have no way to determine the makeup of the 

“pot” from which they share.

45. Similarly, the Secured Second Lien Noteholders (Class 3), an impaired 

class entitled to vote on the Plan, are to receive a “Pro Rata share of the Second Lien 

Noteholder Distribution.” (See Plan at 20.) But again, the “Second Lien Noteholder 

Distribution” is comprised entirely of “consideration in a form and amount to be 

determined pursuant to the First Lien Lender Settlement,” and that distribution is funded 

by “the First Lien Lender Exit Contribution,” which in turn is again entirely determined 

by the undisclosed terms of the First Lien Lender Settlement. (See Plan at 8, 14.)

46. Particularly disturbing, though, is how this impacts the treatment of the 

Secured First Lien Lender Claims. In essence, the First Lien Lenders themselves 

determine how much they will be paid under Plan based on the undisclosed terms of the 

First Lien Lender Settlement. (See Plan at 20.) No other party in interest has any way to 

analyze the fairness or appropriateness of the First Lien Lender’s treatment under the 

Plan.

47. These examples are not exhaustive. A comprehensive review of the Plan 

indicates that it is essentially entirely governed by the First Lien Lender Settlement.

48. Without complete disclosure of the terms of the First Lien Lender 

Settlement, the Disclosure Statement lacks adequate information.

49. Moreover, at the May 2, 2016, omnibus hearing, Alpha represented that the 

First Lien Lender Settlement was going to be replaced with a new broader settlement 

including additional parties. This will significantly impact the Plan and Disclosure 

Statement.

50. To the extent a new settlement is going to replace the First Lien Lender 

Settlement, an entirely new Plan and Disclosure Statement will be required and any such 

amended disclosure statement cannot be considered at the May 17, 2016 hearing because 

it does not provide for the 28 days’ notice period required by Rule 3017.

Reservation of Rights 

51. The deficiencies described above are exemplary only and may not 

constitute every deficiency in the Disclosure Statement. 

52. The United States Trustee reserves the right to object to other provisions, or 

lack of provisions, in the Disclosure Statement at any hearing on the Disclosure 

Statement or in future amended disclosure statements. 

CONCLUSION

 The Disclosure Statement does not contain adequate information as defined by the 

Bankruptcy Code. For this reason, the Disclosure Statement should be disapproved.
