I. INTRODUCTION 

Wayne Real Estate Parent Company, LLC, as debtor and debtor in possession (the “Debtor”), 

submits this disclosure statement (this “Disclosure Statement”) pursuant to section 1125 of the Bankruptcy 

Code to Holders of Claims against the Debtor in connection with the solicitation of acceptances with respect 

to the Chapter 11 Plan of Wayne Real Estate Parent Company, LLC (the “Plan”), dated 

December 24, 2018.1 A copy of the Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by 

reference. 

THE DEBTOR BELIEVES THAT THE COMPROMISE CONTEMPLATED UNDER THE 

PLAN IS FAIR AND EQUITABLE, MAXIMIZES THE VALUE OF THE DEBTOR’S ESTATE, 

AND PROVIDES THE BEST RECOVERY TO CLAIM HOLDERS. AT THIS TIME, THE 

DEBTOR BELIEVES THE PLAN IS THE BEST AVAILABLE ALTERNATIVE FOR 

COMPLETING THE CHAPTER 11 CASE. THE DEBTOR STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT 

YOU VOTE TO ACCEPT THE PLAN. 

II. PRELIMINARY STATEMENT 

On September 18, 2017 (the “Petition Date”), Toys “R” Us, Inc. and certain of its affiliates, 

including the Debtor (the “TRU Retail Debtors,” and, together with its debtor affiliates, the “Company”) 

filed voluntary petitions with the Bankruptcy Court under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. On March 

20, 2018, Toys “R” Us Property Company I, LLC and its debtor affiliates (the “Propco I Debtors”) filed 

voluntary petitions with the Bankruptcy Court under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. 

Following the commencement of the TRU Retail Debtors’ cases the TRU Retail Debtors 

experienced reduced revenues and constricted cash flow, largely due to a weaker than expected 2017 

holiday shopping season. In the weeks leading up to March 20, 2018, it became clear to Toys “R” Us, Inc. 

and its stakeholders that the continuation of their business as a going concern in the United States was no 

longer tenable. Accordingly, on March 15, 2018, the TRU Retail Debtors filed the Debtors’ Omnibus 

Motion for Entry of Orders: (I) Authorizing the Debtors to Wind-Down U.S. Operations, (II) Authorizing 

the Debtors to Conduct U.S. Store Closings, (III) Establishing Bidding Procedures For the Sale of the 

Debtors’ Canadian Equity, (IV) Enforcing an Administrative Stay, and (V) Granting Related Relief [Docket 

No. 2050] (the “Wind-Down Motion”) seeking entry of orders for facilitating the orderly wind-down of the 

TRU Retail Debtors’ operations in the United States, including the closure of the remainder of the TRU 

Retail Debtors’ domestic retail locations.

On July 20, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the Propco I Debtors’ retention of Raider Hill 

Advisors, LLC (“Raider Hill”) as real estate advisor to the Propco I Debtors. Since Raider Hill’s retention, 

the Propco I Debtors have been engaged in the process of selling or otherwise disposing of their leased and 

owned properties. On September 27, 2018, the Propco I Debtors conducted an auction of several of their 

leased properties. And, on October 16, 2018, the Propco I Debtors assumed 22 of their store leases, prior 

to the expiration of their time period to assume unexpired leases of non-residential real property pursuant 

to section 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code (the “365(d)(4) Deadline”). With the status of the Propco I 

Debtors’ leased properties largely determined, the Propco I Debtors have engaged in negotiations with the 

Creditors’ Committee to bring a resolution to these chapter 11 cases so that the Propco I Debtors can 

manage, market and/or otherwise dispose of the remainder of their assets outside of chapter 11. The result 

 

1 Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Disclosure Statement will have the meaning ascribed to such terms in

the Plan. The summary of the Plan provided herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan. In the case of any 

inconsistency between this Disclosure Statement and the Plan, the Plan will govern.

of those negotiations is the Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Toys “R” Us Property Company I, LLC and its Debtor 

Affiliates. 

The Debtor, in consultation with its stakeholders, determined that the best path forward would be 

a separate plan for the Debtor. The result of that determination and subsequent negotiations is the Chapter 

11 Plan of Wayne Real Estate Parent Company, LLC attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Plan”). The Plan 

contemplates a reorganization of the Debtor, allowing it to emerge from chapter 11 as a holding company 

for the Propco I Debtors, allowing the General Unsecured Creditors of the Debtor to receive the Debtor’s 

recovery under the Propco I Plan. Specifically, under the terms of the Plan, holders of Claims and Interests 

will receive the following treatment in full and final satisfaction, compromise, settlement, release, and 

discharge of, and in exchange for, such holders’ Claims and Interests:

x Allowed Priority Tax Claims. Except to the extent that a Holder of an Allowed Priority Tax 

Claim agrees to a less favorable treatment, in full and final satisfaction, settlement, release, and 

discharge of and in exchange for each Allowed Priority Tax Claim, each Holder of such 

Allowed Priority Tax Claim shall be treated in accordance with the terms set forth in section 

1129(a)(9)(C) of the Bankruptcy Code. 

x Class 1 - Other Secured Claims. On the Effective Date, or as soon as reasonably practicable 

thereafter, except to the extent that a Holder of an Allowed Other Secured Claim agrees to a 

less favorable treatment, in full and final satisfaction and discharge of each Allowed Other 

Secured Claim, each Holder thereof shall receive, either: (a) payment in full in Cash; or (b) 

delivery of the collateral securing any such Claim and payment of any interest required under 

section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. 

x Class 2 - Other Priority Claims. On the Effective Date, or as soon as reasonably practicable 

thereafter, except to the extent that a Holder of an Allowed Other Priority Claim agrees to a 

less favorable treatment, in full and final satisfaction and discharge of each Allowed Other 

Priority Claim, each Holder thereof shall receive, either: (a) payment in full in Cash or (b) such 

other treatment as shall render such Claim Unimpaired. 

x Class 3 – General Unsecured Claims. On the Effective Date, or as soon as reasonably 

practicable thereafter, except to the extent that a Holder of an Allowed General Unsecured 

Claim agrees to a less favorable treatment, in full and final satisfaction of each Allowed General 

Unsecured Claim, each Holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim shall receive their pro 

rata share of the consideration to be specified in the Restructuring Transactions Memorandum, 

which in any case will consist of either direct or indirect ownership of the New Contingent 

Equity Rights (as defined in the Propco I Plan), which direct or indirect ownership may be 

accomplished through the receipt of New Common Stock, the direct receipt of the New 

Contingent Equity Rights, or another mechanism to be determined. 

x Class 4 - Intercompany Claims. On the Effective Date, or as soon as reasonably practicable 

thereafter, each Intercompany Claim shall be Reinstated or canceled without any distribution 

on account of such Intercompany Claim as determined by the Debtor in its sole discretion. 

x Class 5 - Interests in the Debtor. On the Effective Date, or as soon as reasonably practicable 

thereafter, in full and final satisfaction and discharge of each Interest in the Debtor, each Holder 

of an Interest in the Debtor will be cancelled without any distribution on account of such 

Interest.

The Debtor believes that the Plan maximizes stakeholder recoveries in this Chapter 11 Case. The 

Debtor seeks the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Plan and urges all holders of Claims entitled to vote 

to accept the Plan by returning their Ballots so that Prime Clerk LLC, the Debtor’s solicitation agent 

(the “Solicitation Agent”), actually receives such Ballots by the Voting Deadline, i.e., January 18, 2019, at 

4:00 p.m. prevailing Eastern Time. Assuming the Plan receives the requisite acceptances, the Debtor will 

seek the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Plan at the Confirmation Hearing. 

III. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS REGARDING THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT AND 

THE PLAN 

A. What is chapter 11? 

Chapter 11 is the principal business reorganization chapter of the Bankruptcy Code. In addition to 

permitting debtor rehabilitation, chapter 11 promotes equality of treatment of creditors and similarly 

situated equity interest holders, subject to the priority distributions prescribed by the Bankruptcy Code. 

The commencement of a chapter 11 case creates an estate that comprises all of the legal and 

equitable interests of the Debtor as of the date the chapter 11 case is commenced. The Bankruptcy Code 

provides that the Debtor may continue to operate its business and remain in possession of its property as a 

“debtor in possession.”

Consummating a chapter 11 plan is the principal objective of a chapter 11 case. A bankruptcy 

court’s confirmation of a plan binds the debtor, any person acquiring property under the plan, any creditor 

or equity interest holder of the debtor, and any other entity as may be ordered by the bankruptcy court. 

Subject to certain limited exceptions, the order issued by a bankruptcy court confirming a plan provides for 

treatment of the debtor’s liabilities in accordance with the terms of the confirmed plan. 

B. Why is the Debtor sending me this Disclosure Statement? 

The Debtor is seeking to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval of the Plan. Before soliciting 

acceptances of the Plan, section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code requires the Debtor to prepare a disclosure 

statement containing adequate information of a kind, and in sufficient detail, to enable a hypothetical 

reasonable investor to make an informed judgment regarding acceptance of the Plan and to share such 

disclosure statement with all holders of claims or interest whose votes on the Plan are being solicited. This 

Disclosure Statement is being submitted in accordance with these requirements. 

C. Am I entitled to vote on the Plan? 

Your ability to vote on, and your distribution (if any) under, the Plan depends on what type of 

Claim or Interest you hold. Each category of holders of Claims or Interests, as set forth in Article III of the 

Plan pursuant to section 1122(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, is referred to as a “Class.” Each Class’s respective 

voting status is set forth below: 

Class Claims and Interests Status Voting Rights 

Class 1 Other Secured Claims Unimpaired Not Entitled to Vote 

(Deemed to Accept) 

Class 2 Other Priority Claims Unimpaired Not Entitled to Vote 

(Deemed to Accept) 

Class 3 General Unsecured Claims Impaired Entitled to Vote 

Class 4 Intercompany Claims Unimpaired or

D. What will I receive from the Debtor if the Plan is consummated? 

The following chart provides a summary of the anticipated recovery to Holders of Claims and 

Interests under the Plan. Any estimates of Claims and Interests in this Disclosure Statement may vary from 

the final amounts allowed by the Bankruptcy Court. Your ability to receive distributions under the Plan 

depends upon the ability of the Debtor to obtain Confirmation and meet the conditions necessary to 

consummate the Plan. 

Each Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest, as applicable, shall receive under the Plan 

the treatment described below in full and final satisfaction, compromise, settlement, release, and discharge 

of, and in exchange for, such Holder’s Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest, except to the extent different 

treatment is agreed to by the Debtor and the Holder of such Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest, as 

applicable. Unless otherwise indicated, the Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest, as applicable, 

shall receive such treatment on the later of the Effective Date and the date such Holder’s Claim or Interest 

becomes an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. 

E. What will I receive from the Debtor if I hold an Allowed Administrative Claim or a 

Priority Tax Claim? 

In accordance with section 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, Administrative Claims and Priority 

Tax Claims have not been classified and, thus, are excluded from the Classes of Claims and Interests set 

forth in Article III of the Plan. Administrative Claims will be satisfied as set forth in Article II.A of the 

Plan, and Priority Tax Claims will be satisfied as set forth in Article II.C of the Plan. 

F. Are any regulatory approvals required to consummate the Plan? 

No. There are no known regulatory approvals that are required to consummate the Plan. 

Nonetheless, assignment of any federal leases requires the consent of the United States Department of the 

Interior or other governmental units. In addition, certain of the Debtor’s operations may require federal 

approval as further described in Article IX.B of this Disclosure Statement. 

G. What happens to my recovery if the Plan is not confirmed or does not go effective? 

In the event that the Plan is not confirmed or does not go effective, there is no assurance that the 

Debtor will be able to effectuate the restructuring transaction. It is possible that any alternative, including 

a potential sale under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code may provide holders of Claims and Interests with 

less than they would have received pursuant to the Plan. 

H. If the Plan provides that I get a distribution, do I get it upon Confirmation or when 

the Plan becomes effective, and what is meant by “Confirmation,” “Effective Date,” 

and “Consummation?”

“Confirmation” of the Plan refers to approval of the Plan by the Bankruptcy Court. Confirmation 

of the Plan does not guarantee that you will receive the distribution indicated under the Plan. After 

Confirmation of the Plan by the Bankruptcy Court, there are conditions that need to be satisfied or waived 

so that the Plan can go effective. Initial distributions to holders of Allowed Claims or Interests will only 

be made on the date the Plan becomes effective—the “Effective Date”—or as soon as practicable thereafter,

as specified in the Plan. See Article X of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Statutory Requirements for 

Confirmation of the Plan,” for a discussion of the conditions precedent to consummation of the Plan. 

“Consummation” refers to “substantial consummation” of the Plan, as defined in section 1101(2) of the 

Bankruptcy Code, and means (1) the transfer of all or substantially all of the property proposed by the Plan 

to be transferred; (2) assumption by the Debtor or by the successors to the Debtor under the Plan of the 

business or of the management of all or substantially all of the property dealt with by the Plan; and 

(3) commencement of distributions under the Plan. 

I. What are the sources of Cash and other consideration required to fund the Plan? 

The Plan will be funded by Cash on hand and any other Cash received or generated by the Debtor. 

J. Is there potential litigation related to the Plan? 

Parties in interest may object to the approval of this Disclosure Statement and may object to 

Confirmation of the Plan as well, which objections potentially could give rise to litigation. In the event that 

it becomes necessary to confirm the Plan over the objection of certain Classes, the Debtor may seek 

confirmation of the Plan notwithstanding the dissent of such objecting Classes. The Bankruptcy Court may 

confirm the Plan pursuant to the “cramdown” provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, which allow the 

Bankruptcy Court to confirm a plan that has been rejected by an impaired Class if it determines that the 

plan satisfies section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. 

K. How will the release of Avoidance Actions affect my recovery under the Plan? 

In accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, on the Effective Date, and except to 

the extent otherwise reserved in the Plan Supplement, the Debtor, on behalf of itself and its estate, shall 

release any and all Avoidance Actions and the Debtor, and any of their successors or assigns and any Entity 

acting on behalf of the Debtor shall be deemed to have waived the right to pursue any and all Avoidance 

Actions. No Avoidance Actions shall revert to creditors of the Debtor. 

L. Will there be releases and exculpation granted to parties in interest as part of the Plan?

Yes, the Plan contains certain releases (as described more fully in Article IV of this Disclosure 

Statement), including mutual releases between (a) the Debtor; (b) the Reorganized Debtor; (c) the TRU 

Retail Debtor Parties; (d) the Propco I Debtors; (e) the Creditors’ Committee and its members; (f) the 

Sponsors; and (g) with respect to each of the foregoing entities in clauses (a) through (f), such entity’s 

current and former Affiliates, and each of such entity’s, and such entity’s current and former affiliates’, 

current and former equity holders (regardless of whether such interests are held directly or indirectly), 

subsidiaries, officers, directors, managers, principals, members, employees, agents, advisory board 

members, financial advisors, partners, attorneys, accountants, investment bankers, consultants, 

representatives, and other professionals; (h) all Holders of Claims and Interests that are deemed to accept 

the Plan and do not opt-out of the releases; (i) all Holders of Claims and Interests who vote to accept the 

Plan; and (j) all Holders of Claims who receive a Ballot, abstain from voting, and do not otherwise opt-out 

of the releases. 

The Debtor believes that the Debtor’s releases, third-party releases, and exculpation provisions 

included in the Plan are an integral part of the Debtor’s overall restructuring efforts. On balance, the value 

of any potential claim held by the Estate is far outweighed by the cost of prosecuting such a claim. Indeed, 

any prosecution of such claims would only further deplete estate resources and reduce creditor recoveries. 

Further, the Debtor assert that many of the Released Parties and the Exculpated Parties have made 

substantial and valuable contributions to the Debtor’s restructuring through efforts to negotiate and 

implement the Plan, which will maximize the value of the Debtor for the benefit of all parties in interest.

Accordingly, for all of these reasons the Debtor believes that each of the Released Parties and the 

Exculpated Parties warrants the benefit of the release and exculpation provisions. Based on the foregoing, 

the Debtor believes that the releases and exculpations in the plan are necessary and appropriate and meet 

the applicable legal standard. Moreover, the Debtor will present evidence at the Confirmation Hearing to 

demonstrate the basis for the propriety of the release and exculpation provisions. 

The Plan also provides that all holders of Claims that (i) vote to accept or (ii) are deemed to accept 

the Plan or are in a voting Class who abstain from voting on the Plan and do not opt out of the release 

provisions contained in Article VIII of the Plan will be deemed to have expressly, unconditionally, 

generally, individually, and collectively released all Claims and Causes of Action against the Debtor and 

the Released Parties. 

Importantly, all holders of Claims and Interests that are not in the Voting Class that do not 

file an objection with the Bankruptcy Court in the Chapter 11 Cases that expressly objects to the 

inclusion of such holder as a Releasing Party under the provisions contained in Article VIII.E of the 

Plan or do not elect to opt out of the provisions contained in Article VIII.E of the Plan using the 

documents provided, if any, will be deemed to have expressly, unconditionally, generally, 

individually, and collectively consented to the release of all Claims and Causes of Action against the 

Debtor and the Released Parties. By objecting to or electing to opt out of the releases set forth in 

Article VIII.E of the Plan you will forgo the benefit of obtaining the releases set forth in Article VIII.E 

of the Plan if you otherwise would be a Released Party thereunder. The releases are an integral 

element of the Plan. 

M. What is the effect of the Plan on the Debtor’s ongoing business? 

Upon the Effective Date, all actions contemplated by the Plan will be deemed authorized and 

approved. The Debtor will continue its existence as the parent company for the Propco I Debtors. 

N. Could subsequent events potentially affect recoveries under the Plan? 

Potentially, yes. The Debtor’s only asset is its ownership interest in the Propco I Debtors. 

Recoveries to Holders of Equity Interests in the Propco I Debtors are governed by the Propco I Plan, which 

contemplates that such Interest Holders will receive recoveries only once sufficient value is realized from 

the sale of the Propco I Debtors’ assets outside of chapter 11. The extended time frame of the distribution 

of the Propco I Debtors’ assets, and the fact that the Propco I Debtors are being recapitalized rather than 

immediately liquidated, creates additional risks that market factors may affect long-term recoveries to 

General Unsecured Creditors of the Debtor. 

O. Do the Debtor recommend voting in favor of the Plan? 

Yes. The Debtor believes the Plan provides for a larger distribution to the Debtor’s creditors than 

would otherwise result from any other available alternative. The Debtor, in consultation with their advisors, 

believe that the Plan is in the best interest of all holders of Claims or Interests, and that any other alternatives 

(to the extent they exist) fail to realize or recognize the value inherent under the Plan. 

IV. OVERVIEW OF THE PLAN 

The Plan provides for the reorganization of the Debtor as a real estate company, which will manage 

and/or dispose of the Debtor’s property outside of chapter 11. The key terms of the Plan are as follows:

A. General Settlement of Claims. 

As discussed further herein, pursuant to section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 

9019, and in consideration for the classification, distributions, releases, and other benefits provided under 

the Plan, upon the Effective Date, the provisions of the Plan shall constitute a good faith compromise and 

settlement of all Claims, Interests, Causes of Action, and controversies released, settled, compromised, or 

otherwise resolved pursuant to the Plan. The Plan shall be deemed a motion to approve such good-faith 

compromise and settlement of all such Claims, Interests, Causes of Action, and controversies pursuant to 

Bankruptcy Rule 9019, and the entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s 

approval of such compromise and settlement under section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy 

Rule 9019, as well as a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that such settlement and compromise is fair, 

equitable, reasonable, and in the best interests of the Debtor and its Estate. Distributions made to holders 

of Allowed Claims in any Class are intended to be final. 

B. Restructuring Transactions. 

On or before the Effective Date, the Debtor may take all actions as may be necessary or appropriate 

to effect any transaction described in, approved by, contemplated by, or necessary to effectuate the Plan, 

the Plan Supplement and the Confirmation Order (the “Restructuring Transactions”), including: (1) the 

execution, filing, and delivery of appropriate agreements or other documents of merger, sale, disposition, 

transfer, consolidation, reorganization, restructuring, liquidation, dissolution, or equity issuance, 

certificates of incorporation, certificates of conversion, certificates of formation, operating agreements, 

bylaws, or other documents containing terms that are consistent with or reasonably necessary to implement 

the terms of the Plan and that satisfy the requirements of applicable law; (2) the execution and delivery of 

appropriate instruments of sale, equity issuance, transfer, assignment, assumption, or delegation of any 

property, right, liability, duty, or obligation on terms consistent with the terms of the Plan; (3) the issuance 

of the New Common Stock (if applicable), (4) the execution of the New Organizational Documents, (5) the 

vesting of the Debtor’s assets in the Reorganized Debtor, in each case in accordance with the Plan and the 

Plan Supplement; (6) such other transactions that are necessary or appropriate to implement the Plan in the 

most tax efficient manner, including any mergers, sales, dispositions, transfers, consolidations, 

restructurings, conversions, formations, organizations, dissolutions or liquidations (including the 

transactions set forth in the Restructuring Transactions Memorandum); and (7) all other transactions or 

actions that either (x) the Debtor or (y) the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, determine are necessary or 

appropriate to implement the Plan. The Restructuring Transactions may include a transfer of all or 

substantially all or a part of the Debtor’s assets or entities to a newly-formed entity (or an affiliate or 

subsidiary of such entity) formed and controlled by certain holders of Claims against the Debtor and, in 

such case, some or all of the New Common Stock (and/or other interests) issued to holders of Claims 

pursuant to the Plan may comprise stock (and/or other interests) of such new entity (or an affiliate or 

subsidiary of such entity). 

C. Sources of Consideration for Plan Distributions. 

The Debtor Cash on hand, and any other Cash received or generated by the Debtor shall be used to 

fund the distributions to holders of Allowed Claims against the Debtor in accordance with the treatment of 

such Claims as set forth herein and subject to the terms provided herein. 

D. Issuance of New Common Stock 

Upon the Effective Date, all Interests in the Debtor shall be cancelled and the New Common Stock 

may be issued as set forth under the Plan. The New Common Stock (if applicable) shall be freely tradable 

and eligible for the book-entry delivery, depository and settlement services of DTC. On the Effective Date, 

Case 17-34665-KLP Doc 6054 Filed 12/24/18 Entered 12/24/18 16:04:05 Desc Main

 Document Page 14 of 97

the Reorganized Debtor shall issue all securities, notes, instruments, certificates, and other documents 

required to be issued pursuant to the Plan. 

On the Effective Date, Holders of New Common Stock (if applicable) shall be parties to certain 

New Organizational Documents. On the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor and the Holders of New 

Common Stock (to the extent applicable) shall enter into and deliver the New Organizational Documents 

to each Entity that is intended to be a party thereto and such New Organizational Documents shall be 

deemed to be valid, binding, and enforceable in accordance with their terms, and each Holder of New 

Common Stock shall be bound thereby, in each case, without the need for execution by any party thereto 

other than the Reorganized Debtor. 

E. Exemption from Registration Requirements. 

The New Common Stock is or may be a security within the meaning of Section 2(a)(1) of the 

Securities Act, Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code and applicable state securities laws. 

The offering, issuance, sale and distribution of all shares of New Common Stock will be exempt 

from, among other things, the registration and prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act or 

any similar federal, state, or local laws in reliance upon section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code to the 

maximum extent permitted and applicable, without further act or action by the Reorganized Debtor. The 

New Common Stock (a) is not a “restricted security” as defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act 

unless the initial recipient thereof is an entity that is an “underwriter” as defined in subsection (b) of section 

1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (b) if such security is not a “restricted security” as defined in Rule 

144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, such security will be freely tradable and transferable by the initial 

recipient thereof if at the time of transfer such initial recipient is not an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 

144(a)(1) under the Securities Act) of the Reorganized Debtor and has not been such an “affiliate” within 

90 days of such transfer. 

The Reorganized Debtor need not provide any further evidence to DTC other than the Plan or the 

Confirmation Order with respect to the treatment of securities to be issued under the Plan (including 

securities issuable upon exercise of such securities) under applicable securities laws. 

DTC shall be required to accept and conclusively rely upon the Plan or Confirmation Order in lieu 

of a legal opinion regarding whether such securities are exempt from registration and/or eligible for DTC 

book-entry delivery, settlement, and depository services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the 

Plan, no entity (including, for the avoidance of doubt, DTC) may require a legal opinion regarding the 

validity of any transaction contemplated by the Plan, including, for the avoidance of doubt, whether the 

New Common Stock is exempt from registration and/or eligible for DTC book-entry delivery, settlement 

and depository services. 

F. Subordination. 

The allowance, classification, and treatment of all Claims and Interests under the Plan conform to 

and are consistent with the respective contractual, legal, and equitable subordination rights of such Claims 

and Interests, and the Plan recognizes and implements any such rights. Pursuant to section 510 of the 

Bankruptcy Code, except where otherwise provided herein, the rights of the Debtor or the Reorganized 

Debtor, as applicable, are hereby reserved to re-classify any Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest in 

accordance with any contractual, legal, or equitable subordination rights relating thereto upon entry of a 

Final Order ruling that such Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest (or portion thereof) is subordinated. On 

the Effective Date, any and all subordination rights or obligations that a Holder of a Claim or Interest may 

have with respect to any distribution to be made under the Plan will be discharged and terminated, and all 

actions related to the enforcement of such subordination rights will be enjoined permanently. Accordingly, 

Case 17-34665-KLP Doc 6054 Filed 12/24/18 Entered 12/24/18 16:04:05 Desc Main

9 

distributions under the Plan to holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests will not be subject to 

turnover or payment to a beneficiary of such terminated subordination rights, or to levy, garnishment, 

attachment or other legal process by a beneficiary of such terminated subordination rights. 

G. Vesting of Assets in the Reorganized Debtor. 

Except as otherwise provided herein, or in any agreement, instrument, or other document 

incorporated in the Plan (including, without limitation, the Restructuring Transactions Memorandum), on 

the Effective Date, all property in Debtor’s Estate, including the Reorganized Debtor’s Assets, all Causes 

of Action, claims, or defenses, and any property acquired by any of the Debtor under the Plan shall vest in 

each respective Reorganized Debtor (excluding any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases included 

on the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases), free and clear of all Liens, Claims, 

charges, or other encumbrances. On and after the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided herein, each 

Reorganized Debtor may operate its business and may use, acquire, or dispose of property and pursue, 

compromise or settle any Claims, Interests, or Causes of Action without supervision or approval by the 

Bankruptcy Court and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules, other than any 

restrictions expressly imposed by the Plan, the Plan Supplement, or the Confirmation Order. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the Unimpaired Claims against a Debtor shall remain 

the obligations solely of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor and shall not become obligations of any 

other Debtor or Reorganized Debtor by virtue of the Plan, the Chapter 11 Cases, or otherwise. 

H. Cancellation of Securities and Agreements. 

On the Effective Date, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Plan, under Article IV.G and 

IV.H, all notes, instruments, Certificates, and other documents evidencing, or in anyway related to, Claims 

or Interests shall be canceled and the obligations of the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor thereunder or in any 

way related thereto shall be released, settled, and compromised.

I. Corporate Action. 

On the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, all actions as may be 

necessary or appropriate to effect any transactions described in, approved by, contemplated by, or necessary 

to effectuate the Restructuring Transactions shall be deemed authorized and approved by the Bankruptcy 

Court in all respects, including, as applicable: (a) the adoption, execution, delivery and/or filing of the New 

Organizational Documents, (b) the selection of the directors, managers, and officers for the Reorganized 

Debtor, including the appointment of the New Board, in accordance with the terms of the Plan; (c) the 

authorization, issuance, delivery and distribution of New Common Stock; (d) the rejection, assumption, or 

assumption and assignment, as applicable, of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases; and (e) all other 

actions that may be required by applicable law. Upon the Effective Date, all matters provided for in the 

Plan involving the corporate structure the Reorganized Debtor, and any corporate action required by the 

Debtor, or the Reorganized Debtor in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have occurred and shall 

be in effect, without any requirement of further action by the security holders, directors, or officers of the 

Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor. On or before the Effective Date (as applicable), the appropriate officers 

of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor shall be authorized and (as applicable) directed to issue, execute, 

and deliver the agreements, documents, securities, and instruments contemplated by the Plan (or necessary 

or desirable to effectuate the Restructuring Transactions) in the name of and on behalf of the Reorganized 

Debtor, including and any and all other agreements, documents, Securities, and instruments relating to the 

foregoing, to the extent not previously authorized by the Bankruptcy Court. The authorizations and 

approvals contemplated by Article IV.M of the Plan shall be effective notwithstanding any requirements 

under non-bankruptcy law.

J. Corporate Existence; Tax Classification. 

As noted above, Holders of Class 3 Claims will directly or indirectly receive the New Contingent 

Equity Rights, which constitute Interests in Propco I. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or any 

agreement, instrument, or other document incorporated in the Plan or the Plan Supplement, on the Effective 

Date, Reorganized Propco I and the Reorganized Propco I Subsidiaries shall continue to exist as separate 

limited liability companies, with all the powers of a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or 

other form of Entity, as the case may be, pursuant to the applicable law in the jurisdiction in which each 

Debtor is incorporated or formed and pursuant to the respective certificate of incorporation and by-laws (or 

other analogous formation documents) in effect before the Effective Date, except to the extent such 

certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other analogous formation documents) are amended or amended 

and restated by the Plan (including pursuant to the provisions of Article IV.K of the Plan), the New 

Organizational Documents, or otherwise, and to the extent such documents are amended or amended and 

restated, such documents are deemed to be amended or amended and restated pursuant to the Plan and 

require no further action or approval (other than any requisite filings required under applicable state, 

provincial, or federal law). Subject to the Restructuring Transactions Memorandum, Reorganized Propco 

I will be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income (and applicable state and local) tax purposes, and 

the Reorganized Propco I Subsidiaries will be treated as disregarded entities of Reorganized Propco I for 

U.S. federal income (and applicable state and local) tax purposes; provided that, on or before the Effective 

Date and at the option of the Creditors’ Committee, the Propco I Debtors will (and will cause their affiliates 

to) take any actions necessary to cause Reorganized Propco I and/or one or more of the Reorganized Propco 

I Subsidiaries to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income (and applicable state and local) tax 

purposes effective as of prior to the actual or constructive receipt of any consideration under the Plan, 

including by executing and filing one or more IRS Forms 8832 (and analogous forms for applicable state 

and local tax purposes). 

To the extent the New Common Stock is issued, the tax classification of the entity issuing the New 

Common Stock will be specified in the Restructuring Transactions Memorandum. 

K. Charter, Bylaws, and New Organizational Documents. 

On the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, to the extent applicable, 

the Debtor’s respective certificates of incorporation and bylaws (and other formation and constituent 

documents relating to limited liability companies) shall be amended or amended and restated as may be 

required to be consistent with the provisions of the Plan, the New Organizational Documents, and any other 

documents required to complete the Restructuring Transactions, as applicable, and the Bankruptcy Code. 

The New Organizational Documents shall, among other things: (a) authorize the issuance of the New 

Common Stock; and (b) be modified or deemed to be modified to include a provision pursuant to and only 

to the extent required by section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code, prohibiting the issuance of non-voting 

equity Securities. After the Effective Date, each Reorganized Debtor may amend and restate its certificate 

of incorporation and other formation and constituent documents as permitted by the laws of its respective 

jurisdiction of formation and the terms of such documents. 

L. Effectuating Documents; Further Transactions.

Prior to the Effective Date, the Debtor, and on and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor, 

in each case to the extent applicable, and the officers and members thereof are authorized to and may issue, 

execute, deliver, file, or record such contracts, securities, instruments, releases, and other agreements or 

documents and take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, implement, and further 

evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan, without the need for any approvals, authorization, or consents 

except for those expressly required pursuant to the Plan.

M. Exemption from Certain Taxes and Fees.

Pursuant to section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, any transfers of property or any Interests 

pursuant to the Plan, including the recording of any amendments to such transfers, or any new mortgages 

or liens placed on the property in connection with such transfers, shall not be subject to any document 

recording tax, stamp tax, conveyance fee, intangibles or similar tax, mortgage tax, stamp act, real estate 

transfer tax, mortgage recording tax, or other similar tax or governmental assessment, and upon entry of 

the Confirmation Order, the appropriate state or local governmental officials or agents shall forgo the 

collection of any such tax or governmental assessment and accept for filing and recordation any of the 

foregoing instruments or other documents without the payment of any such tax, recordation fee, or 

governmental assessment. 

N. Directors and Officers. 

To the extent applicable, the members of the New Board shall be identified prior to the 

Confirmation Hearing in the Plan Supplement or at the Confirmation Hearing consistent with section 

1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code. On the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided in the Plan 

Supplement or announced on the record at the Confirmation Hearing, the existing officers of the Debtor 

shall serve in their current capacities for the Reorganized Debtor. From and after the Effective Date, each 

director, officer, or manager of the Reorganized Debtor shall serve pursuant to the terms of the respective 

Reorganized Debtor’s charters and bylaws or other formation and constituent documents, and applicable 

laws of the respective Reorganized Debtor’s jurisdiction of formation.

O. Retention of Causes of Action.

Unless any Cause of Action against an Entity is expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, 

released, compromised, or settled in the Plan or a Final Order such that the Debtor retain no right or interest 

in such Cause of Action as of the Effective Date, in accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy 

Code, the Debtor shall reserve, retain, and may enforce, all rights to commence, prosecute or settle, as 

appropriate, any and all Causes of Action, whether arising or accruing before or after the Petition Date, 

which authority shall vest in the Reorganized Debtor on the Effective Date pursuant to the terms of the 

Plan. The Reorganized Debtor may enforce all rights to commence, prosecute, or settle, as appropriate, any 

and all such Causes of Action, whether arising or accruing before or after the Petition Date, and the 

Reorganized Debtor’s rights to commence, prosecute, or settle such Causes of Action shall be preserved 

notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date. Any Reorganized Debtor may, in its reasonable 

business judgment, pursue such Causes of Action and may retain and compensate professionals in the 

analysis or pursuit of such Causes of Action to the extent the Reorganized Debtor deems appropriate, 

including on a contingency fee basis. 

No Entity may rely on the absence of a specific reference in the Plan or the Disclosure 

Statement to any Cause of Action against them as any indication that the Debtor, or the Reorganized 

Debtor will not pursue any and all available Causes of Action against them. The Debtor and the 

Reorganized Debtor expressly reserve all rights to prosecute any and all Causes of Action against 

any Entity, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan. Unless any Cause of Action against an 

Entity is expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, or settled in the Plan or a Final 

Order such that the Debtor hold no right or interest in such Cause of Action as of the Effective Date, the 

Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor expressly reserve all Causes of Action for later adjudication, and, 

therefore, no preclusion doctrine, including the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue 

preclusion, claim preclusion, estoppel (judicial, equitable or otherwise), or laches, shall apply to such 

Causes of Action upon, after, or as a consequence of the Confirmation or Consummation. The Reorganized 

Debtor reserves and shall retain the foregoing Causes of Action notwithstanding the rejection of any 

Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease during the Chapter 11 Cases or pursuant to the Plan. The

 Document Page 29 of 170
12 

Reorganized Debtor shall have the exclusive right, authority, and discretion to determine and to initiate, 

file, prosecute, enforce, abandon, settle, compromise, release, withdraw, or litigate to judgment any such 

Causes of Action, or to decline to do any of the foregoing, without the consent or approval of any third 

party or any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. 

P. Avoidance Actions.

As of the Effective Date, the Debtor waives all rights to commence or otherwise pursue any and all 

Avoidance Actions arising under section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable “preference” 

action arising under applicable non-bankruptcy law, provided that, (i) neither the Debtor nor the 

Reorganized Debtor waive any rights to commence or pursue any Avoidance Actions against the TRU 

Retail Debtors or any Former Debtors; and (ii) except as expressly provided in the Plan, the Reorganized 

Debtor shall retain the right to assert any Causes of Action assertable in any Avoidance Action as defenses 

or counterclaims in any Cause of Action brought by any Entity. 

Q. Regulatory Requirements. 

All parties shall abide by, and use their reasonable best efforts to obtain, any regulatory and 

licensing requirements or approvals as promptly as practicable to achieve Consummation. 

R. Insurance Contracts. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Disclosure Statement, the Plan, the Plan 

Supplement, the Confirmation Order, any bar date notice or claim objection, any other document related to 

any of the foregoing or any other order of the Bankruptcy Court in the Chapter 11 Cases (including any 

other provision that purports to be preemptory or supervening, grants an injunction or release, or requires a 

party to opt out of any releases): (i) on and after the Effective Date, nothing shall alter, amend or otherwise 

modify the terms and conditions of (or the coverage provided by) any of the Insurance Contracts except 

that the Reorganized Debtor shall be liable in full for all of its and the Debtor’s obligations thereunder 

regardless of whether such obligations arise before or after the Effective Date, without the requirement or 

need for the Insurer to file a proof of claim, an Administrative Claim, a Cure Claim or object to any cure 

amount, provided that any and all rights of the Debtor to dispute such payments or reimbursements are 

expressly reserved; (ii) nothing shall permit or otherwise effect a sale, an assignment or any other transfer 

of any Insurance Contract that has been issued by ACE American Insurance Company, Federal Insurance 

Company, or any of their affiliates or successors (together, “Chubb Companies”) at any time to (or which 

provide coverage to) any of the Debtor (or any of their Affiliates or any of their predecessors), and all 

agreements, documents or instruments relating thereto (collectively, the “Chubb Insurance Contracts”) 

and/or any rights, benefits, claims, rights to payments, or recoveries under or relating to the Chubb 

Insurance Contracts without the express written consent of the Chubb Companies; and (iii) nothing shall 

permit or otherwise effect a sale, an assignment or any other transfer of any Insurance Contract that has 

been issued by Zurich American Insurance Company, American Zurich Insurance Company, Steadfast 

Insurance Company, or any of their affiliates or successors (together, “Zurich”) at any time to (or which 

provide coverage to) the Debtor (or any of their Affiliates or any of their predecessors), and all agreements, 

documents or instruments relating thereto (collectively, the “Zurich Insurance Contracts”) and/or any rights, 

benefits, claims, rights to payments, or recoveries under or relating to the Zurich Insurance Contracts 

without the express written consent of Zurich. For the avoidance of doubt, any such rights and obligations 

shall be determined under the Insurance Contracts and applicable non-bankruptcy law. 

S. Settlement, Compromise, and Release of Claims and Interests. 

Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 and in consideration for the distributions and other benefits 

provided pursuant to the Plan, and except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or in any contract,

right, or Interest is Allowed pursuant to section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code; or (3) the holder of such Cause 

of Action, Claim, or Interest has accepted the Plan. Any default by the Debtor or their Affiliates with 

respect to any Cause of Action, Claim, or Interest that existed immediately before or on account of the filing

whatsoever, including any interest accrued on such Claims, Interests, or Causes of Action from and after 

the Petition Date, whether known or unknown, against, liabilities of, Liens on, obligations of, rights against,

have been assumed, assumed and assigned, distributed, or retained pursuant to the Plan on account of such 

Claims and Interests, including demands, liabilities, and Causes of Action that arose or accrued before the

and representatives, and any and all other entities who may purport to assert any Cause of Action, 

directly or derivatively, by, through, for, or because of the foregoing entities, from any and all Causes 

of Action, including any derivative Cause of Action asserted on behalf of the Debtor, that the Debtor 

or the Debtor’s Estate would have been legally entitled to assert in their own right (whether 

individually or collectively) or on behalf of the Holder of any Cause of Action against, or Interest in, 

the Debtor or other Entity, based on or relating to, or in any manner arising from, in whole or in 

part, the Debtor, the Debtor’s in- or out-of-court restructuring efforts, intercompany transactions, 

the Chapter 11 Cases, the formulation, preparation, dissemination, negotiation, or filing of the 

Disclosure Statement, the Plan (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Plan Supplement), or any

the Plan shall release (a) any post-Effective Date obligations of any party or entity under the Plan or 

any document, instrument, or agreement (including those set forth in the Plan Supplement) executed 

to implement the Plan and the Restructuring Transactions; (b) any Administrative Claims held by 

the Debtor against the TRU Retail Debtor Parties or any Former Debtor, including any

equitable right held by the Debtor against any Entity. 

Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval, pursuant 

to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, of the releases described in Article VIII.D of the Plan by the Debtor, which 

includes by reference each of the related provisions and definitions contained in the Plan, and further, 

shall constitute its finding that each release described in Article VIII.D of the Plan is: (1) in exchange 

for the good and valuable consideration provided by the Released Parties, a good faith settlement 

and compromise of such Causes of Action; (2) in the best interest of the Debtor and all Holders of 

Interests and Causes of Action; (3) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (4) given and made after due 

notice and opportunity for hearing; and (5) subject to the terms and provisions herein, a bar to the 

Debtor asserting any Cause of Action, or liability related thereto, of any kind whatsoever, against 

any of the Released Parties or their property.

As of the Effective Date, each Releasing Party is deemed to have released and discharged the 

Debtor and each Released Party from any and all Causes of Action, whether known or unknown, 

including any derivative Causes of Action asserted on behalf of the Debtor, that such Entity would 

have been legally entitled to assert (whether individually or collectively), based on or relating to, or 

in any manner arising from, in whole or in part, the Debtor, the Debtor’s in- or out-of-court 

restructuring efforts, intercompany transactions, the Chapter 11 Cases, the formulation, 

preparation, dissemination, negotiation, or filing of the Disclosure Statement, the Plan (including, for 

the avoidance of doubt, the Plan Supplement), or any Restructuring Transaction, contract, 

instrument, release, or other agreement or document created or entered into in connection with the

instrument, or agreement (including those set forth in the Plan Supplement) executed to implement 

the Plan and the Restructuring Transactions; (b) any Administrative Claims held by the Debtor

Debtor against any Entity. 

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall affect any rights of any parties to 

the Settlement Agreement preserved under the Settlement Agreement. 

Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval, pursuant 

to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, of the releases described in Article VIII.E of the Plan, which includes by 

reference each of the related provisions and definitions contained in the Plan, and further, shall 

constitute its finding that each release described in Article VIII.E of the Plan is: (1) in exchange for 

the good and valuable consideration provided by the Released Parties, a good faith settlement and 

compromise of such Causes of Action; (2) in the best interests of the Debtor and all Holders of 

Interests and Causes of Action; (3) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (4) given and made after due 

notice and opportunity for hearing; and (5) subject to the terms and provisions herein, a bar to any 

of the Releasing Parties asserting any Cause of Action, or liability related thereto, of any kind 

whatsoever, against any of the Released Parties or their property. 

X. Exculpation. 

Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, no Exculpated Party shall have or incur 

any liability with respect to, and each Exculpated Party is released and exculpated from, any Cause 

of Action related to any act or omission in connection with, relating to, or arising out of, the Chapter 

11 Cases, the formulation, preparation, dissemination, negotiation, or filing of the Disclosure 

Statement, the Plan, or any Restructuring Transaction, contract, instrument, release or other

Plan, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the pursuit of Confirmation, the pursuit of Consummation, 

the administration and implementation of the Plan, including the issuance of securities pursuant to 

the Plan, or the distribution of property under the Plan or any other related agreement, except for 

Causes of Action related to any act or omission that is determined in a Final Order to have constituted

actual fraud, willful misconduct, or gross negligence, but in all respects such Entities shall be entitled 

to reasonably rely upon the advice of counsel with respect to their duties and responsibilities pursuant 

to the Plan. The Exculpated Parties have, and upon completion of the Plan shall be deemed to have, 

participated in good faith and in compliance with the applicable laws with regard to the solicitation 

of votes and distribution of consideration pursuant to the Plan and, therefore, are not, and on account 

of such distributions shall not be, liable at any time for the violation of any applicable law, rule, or 

regulation governing the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan or such distributions 

made pursuant to the Plan; provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the

under the Plan or any document, instrument, or agreement (including those set forth in the Plan 

Supplement) executed to implement the Plan and the Restructuring Transactions; (ii) any

or other similar legal or equitable right held by the Debtor against any Entity. 

Y. Injunction. 

Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or for obligations issued or required to be 

paid pursuant to the Plan, or the Confirmation Order, all Entities who have held, hold, or may hold 

Causes of Action, Claims, or Interests that have been compromised, settled, or released, or are subject 

to exculpation are permanently enjoined, from and after the Effective Date, from taking any of the 

following actions against, as applicable, the Debtor, the Exculpated Parties, or the Released Parties: 

(1) commencing or continuing in any manner any and all Causes of Action or other proceeding of 

any kind on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Claims or Interests; 

(2) enforcing, attaching, collecting, or recovering by any manner or means any judgment, award, 

decree, or order against the Debtor, the Exculpated Parties, or the Released Parties on account of or 

in connection with or with respect to any such Claims or Interests; (3) creating, perfecting, or 

enforcing any encumbrance of any kind against the Debtor, the Exculpated Parties, or the Released 

Parties or the property or the estate of the Debtor, the Exculpated Parties, or the Released Parties on

(4) asserting any right of setoff, subrogation, recoupment, or other similar legal or equitable right of 

any kind against any obligation due from the Debtor, the Exculpated Parties, or the Released Parties 

or against the property of the Debtor, the Exculpated Parties, or the Released Parties on account of 

or in connection with or with respect to any such Causes of Action, Claims, or Interests unless such 

Holder has Filed a motion requesting the right to perform such legal or equitable right on or before 

the Effective Date, and notwithstanding an indication of any Cause of Action, Claim, or Interest or 

otherwise that such Holder asserts, has, or intends to preserve pursuant to applicable law or 

otherwise; and (5) commencing or continuing in any manner any and all Causes of Action or other 

proceeding of any kind on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Causes of 

Action, Claims, or Interests released or settled pursuant to the Plan; provided, however, that, 

notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in the Plan shall enjoin: (i) any Entity from 

taking the preceding actions with respect to any post-Effective Date obligations of any party or entity 

under the Plan or any document, instrument, or agreement (including those set forth in the Plan 

Supplement) executed to implement the Plan and the Restructuring Transactions; (ii) any 

Administrative Claims held by the Debtor against the TRU Retail Debtor Parties or any Former 

Debtor, including any Administrative Claims pursuant to sections 503(b) or 507(a)(2) of the 

Bankruptcy Code; (iii) any Non-Released Claims; or (iv) any and all setoff, subrogation, recoupment,

Upon entry of the Confirmation Order, all Holders of Claims and Interests and their 

respective current and former employees, agents, officers, directors, principals, and direct and 

indirect affiliates shall be enjoined from taking any actions to interfere with the implementation or 

Consummation of the Plan. Each Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest, as applicable, by 

accepting, or being eligible to accept, distributions under or Reinstatement of such Claim or Interest, 

as applicable, pursuant to the Plan, shall be deemed to have consented to the injunction provisions 

set forth in Article VIII.G of the Plan. 

V. VOTING AND CONFIRMATION 

A. Classes Entitled to Vote on the Plan. 

As described more fully above, Class 3 (General Unsecured Claims) is the only class entitled to 

vote to accept or reject the Plan (the “Voting Class”).

If your claim or Interest is not included in the Voting Class, you are not entitled to vote and you 

will not receive a Solicitation Package or a Ballot. If your Claim is included in the Voting Class, you should 

read your Ballot and carefully follow the instructions set forth therein. Please use only the Ballot that 

accompanies this Disclosure Statement or the Ballot that the Debtor, or the Solicitation Agent on behalf of 

the Debtor, otherwise provide to you. 

B. Votes Required for Acceptance by a Class. 

Under the Bankruptcy Code, acceptance of a plan of reorganization by a class of claims or interests 

is determined by calculating the amount and, if a class of claims, the number, of claims and interests voting 

to accept, as a percentage of the allowed claims or interests, as applicable, that have voted. Each Class of 

Claims entitled to vote on the Plan will have accepted the Plan if: (a) the Holders of at least two-thirds in 

dollar amount of the Claims actually voting in each Class vote to accept the Plan; and (b) the Holders of 

more than one-half in number of the Claims actually voting in each Class vote to accept the Plan. 

C. Certain Factors to Be Considered Prior to Voting. 

There are a variety of factors that all Holders of Claims entitled to vote on the Plan should consider 

prior to voting to accept or reject the Plan. These factors may impact recoveries under the Plan, including 

that: 

x the financial information contained in this Disclosure Statement has not been audited and 

is based on an analysis of data available at the time of the preparation of the Plan and this 

Disclosure Statement; 

x although the Debtor believes that the Plan complies with all applicable provisions of the 

Bankruptcy Code, the Debtor can neither assure such compliance nor that the Bankruptcy 

Court will confirm the Plan; 

x the Debtor may request Confirmation without the acceptance of all Impaired Classes 

entitled to vote in accordance with section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code; and 

x any delays of either Confirmation or Consummation could result in, among other things, 

increased Administrative Claims or Professional Compensation Claims. 

While these factors could affect distributions available to Holders of Allowed Claims under the 

Plan, the occurrence or impact of such factors will not necessarily affect the validity of the vote of Holders 

Case 17-34665-KLP Doc 6054 Filed 12/24/18 Entered 12/24/18 16:04:05 Desc Main

within the Voting Class or necessarily require a re-solicitation of the votes of Holders of Claims in such 

Voting Class. 

For a further discussion of risk factors, please refer to Article IX hereof, entitled “Risk Factors.”

D. Solicitation Procedures. 

1. Solicitation Agent.

The Debtor retained Prime Clerk LLC (“Prime Clerk”) to act, among other things, as the solicitation 

agent (the “Solicitation Agent”) in connection with the solicitation of votes to accept or reject the Plan. 

2. Solicitation Package.

Holders of Claims who are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan as of December 28, 2018 

(the “Voting Record Date”), will receive appropriate solicitation materials (the “Solicitation Package”), 

which will include, in part, the following: 

x the appropriate Ballot(s) and applicable voting instructions, together with a preaddressed, postage pre-paid return envelope; and 

x this Disclosure Statement, including the Plan as an exhibit thereto. 

3. Distribution of the Solicitation Package and Plan Supplement.

The Debtor will cause Prime Clerk to distribute the Solicitation Packages to holders of Claims in 

the Voting Class on or before January 3, 2019 (or as soon as practicable thereafter), which will be at 

least 15 days before the Voting Deadline (i.e., January 18, 2019, at 4:00 p.m., prevailing Eastern Time). 

The Solicitation Package (except for the Ballots) may also be obtained: (a) from Prime Clerk by 

(i) visiting https://cases.primeclerk.com/toyspropcoI, (ii) by writing to Prime Clerk at Wayne Real Estate 

Parent Company, LLC, Disclosure Statement / Plan Requests, c/o Prime Clerk LLC, 830 3rd Avenue, New 

York, NY 10022; or (b) for a fee via PACER at http://www.vaeb.uscourts.gov. 

At least seven (7) days prior to the Voting Deadline, the Debtor intends to file the Plan Supplement. 

If the Plan Supplement is updated or otherwise modified, such modified or updated documents will be made 

available at https://cases.primeclerk.com/toyspropcoI. The Debtor will not serve paper or CD-ROM copies 

of the Plan Supplement; however, parties may obtain a copy of the Plan Supplement: (a) from Prime Clerk 

by (i) visiting https://cases.primeclerk.com/toyspropcoI, (ii) writing to Prime Clerk at Toys “R” Us Property 

Company I, LLC, Disclosure Statement / Plan Requests, c/o Prime Clerk LLC, 830 3rd Avenue, New York, 

NY 10022; or (b) for a fee via PACER at http://www.vaeb.uscourts.gov. 

As described above, certain holders of Claims may not be entitled to vote because they are 

Unimpaired or are otherwise presumed to accept the Plan under section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code. 

In addition, certain holders of Claims and Interests may be Impaired but are receiving no distribution under 

the Plan, and are therefore deemed to reject the Plan and are not entitled to vote. Such holders will receive 

only the Confirmation Hearing Notice and a non-voting status notice. The Debtor is only distributing a 

Solicitation Package, including this Disclosure Statement and a Ballot to be used for voting to accept or 

reject the Plan, to the holders of Claims or Interests entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan as of the 

Voting Record Date.

Each holder of a Claim entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan may cast only one Ballot for 

each Claim in a Voting Class held by such holder. By signing and returning a Ballot, each holder of a 

Claim entitled to vote will certify to the Bankruptcy Court and the Debtor that no other Ballots with respect 

to such Claim have been cast or, if any other Ballots have been cast with respect to such Claim, such earlier 

Ballots are superseded and revoked. 

All Ballots will be accompanied by postage prepaid return envelopes. It is important to follow the 

specific instructions provided on each Ballot, as failing to do so may result in your Ballot not being counted. 

The Plan also provides that all Holders of Claims that (i) vote to accept or (ii) or are deemed to 

accept the Plan or are in a voting Class who abstain from voting on the Plan and do not opt out of the release 

provisions contained in Article VIII of the Plan will be deemed to have expressly, unconditionally, 

generally, individually, and collectively released all Claims and Causes of Action against the Debtor and 

the Released Parties. 

Importantly, all Holders of Claims and Interests that are not in the Voting Class that do not 

file an objection with the Bankruptcy Court in the Chapter 11 Cases that expressly objects to the 

inclusion of such holder as a Releasing Party under the provisions contained in Article VIII.E of the 

Plan or do not elect to opt out of the provisions contained in Article VIII.E of the Plan using the 

documents provided, if any, will be deemed to have expressly, unconditionally, generally, 

individually, and collectively consented to the release of all Claims and Causes of Action against the 

Debtor and the Released Parties. By objecting to or electing to opt out of the releases set forth in 

Article VIII.E of the Plan you will forgo the benefit of obtaining the releases set forth in Article VIII.E 

of the Plan if you otherwise would be a Released Party thereunder. The releases are an integral 

element of the Plan.

3. Ballots Not Counted. 

No Ballot will be counted toward Confirmation if, among other things: (i) it is illegible or contains 

insufficient information to permit the identification of the holder of the Claim; (ii) it was transmitted by 

means other than as specifically set forth in the ballots; (iii) it was cast by an entity that is not entitled to 

vote on the Plan; (iv) it was cast for a Claim listed in the Debtor’s schedules as contingent, unliquidated, or 

disputed for which the applicable Bar Date has passed and no proof of claim was timely filed; (v) it was 

cast for a Claim that is subject to an objection pending as of the Voting Record Date (unless temporarily 

allowed in accordance with the Disclosure Statement Order); (vi) it was sent to any party other the 

Solicitation Agent; (vii) it is unsigned; or (viii) it is not clearly marked to either accept or reject the Plan or 

it is marked both to accept and reject the Plan. Please refer to the Disclosure Statement Order for 

additional requirements with respect to voting to accept or reject the Plan. 

F. Plan Objection Deadline. 

Parties must object to Confirmation of the Plan by January 25, 2019, at 11:00 a.m., prevailing 

Eastern Time (the “Plan Objection Deadline”). All objections to the Plan must be filed with the 

Bankruptcy Court and served on the Debtor, counsel to the Creditors’ Committee, and certain other parties 

in interest so that they are actually received on or before the Plan Objection Deadline. 

G. Confirmation Hearing. 

Assuming the requisite acceptances are obtained for the Plan, the Debtor intends to seek 

Confirmation of the Plan at the Confirmation Hearing. The Confirmation Hearing is scheduled to 

commence on January 29, 2019, at 1:00 p.m., prevailing Eastern Time, before the Honorable Keith L. 

Phillips, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, located at 701 East

Broad Street, Suite 4000, Richmond, Virginia 23219. The Confirmation Hearing may be continued from 

time to time without further notice other than an adjournment announced in open court or a notice of 

adjournment filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served on the entities who have filed objections to the 

Plan, without further notice to other parties in interest. The Bankruptcy Court, in its discretion and before 

the Confirmation Hearing, may put in place additional procedures governing the Confirmation Hearing. 

The Plan may be modified, if necessary, before, during, or as a result of the Confirmation Hearing, without 

further notice to parties in interest. 

VI. THE DEBTOR’S CORPORATE HISTORY, STRUCTURE, AND BUSINESS OVERVIEW 

A. History of Toys “R” Us, Inc. (the Debtor’s Ultimate Parent).

Seeking to capitalize on the post-World War II baby boom, Charles Lazarus, the founder of Toys 

“R” Us, Inc., first opened Children’s Bargain Town, a baby furniture store, in Washington D.C. in 1948. 

After the success of adding toys and baby products to Children’s Bargain Town, Lazarus shifted focus and 

opened his first store dedicated exclusively to toys in 1957 and called it Toys “R” Us Inc. The Company 

went on to open big-box stores across the United States. 

Toys “R” Us, Inc. completed an initial public offering in 1978. Over time, the Company grew into 

a toy conglomerate with a broad, loyal customer base. The Company expanded internationally in 1984 

with its first wholly-owned store in Canada and a licensed operation in Singapore. The Company launched 

Toysrus.com in 1998. In addition, the company launched its first Babies “R” Us location in 1996. Babies 

“R” Us stores focus solely on baby products and furniture, aiming to provide shopping expertise and 

specialized products for new families. 

Toys “R” Us was acquired and taken private in 2005. Following a highly competitive process, an 

investment group led by entities advised by or affiliated with Bain Capital Private Equity, LP, Kohlberg 

Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P., and Vornado Realty Trust bought Toys “R” Us for approximately $6.6 billion, 

including $5.3 billion of debt secured in large part by company assets. After going private, Toys “R” Us 

further expanded its international presence, primarily in China and Southeast Asia. 

B. History of the Debtor.

The Debtor was incorporated in 2005 as Delaware limited liability companies as part of a legal 

reorganization of the businesses of the Company. A simplified corporate structure chart showing the Debtor 

in relation to the Propco I Debtors, TRU DE, and Toys “R” Us, Inc. is set forth below.

C. Debtor’s Current Assets. 

The Debtor is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Debtor Toys “R” Us, Inc. The Debtor’s 

primary asset is its indirect 99.99% ownership interest in Propco I. The Debtor is also the direct owner of 

the remaining 0.01% ownership interest in Propco I. 

As of November 15 2018, the Propco I Debtors owned fee simple and leasehold interests in, 

collectively, 186 real properties located in 41 states, which include 154 owned real estate stores, 21 ground 

leasehold interests, and 11 building leasehold interests. Pursuant to the Master Lease, the Propco I Debtors 

leased the Properties to TRU DE on a triple-net basis, which means that under the Master Lease, TRU DE 

paid all real estate taxes, building insurance, and maintenance on the Properties up until the Master Lease 

was rejected on June 30, 2018. Whereas prior to the rejection of the Master Lease, substantially all of 

Propco I’s revenues and cash flows derived from payments from TRU DE under the Master Lease, today, 

substantially all of the Propco I Debtors’ cash flows were derived from the sale and assignment of owned 

and leased assets, with expected future revenue from leases executed with new tenants at the Propco I 

Debtors’ real property.

VII. EVENTS LEADING TO THE CHAPTER 11 FILINGS 

On September 18, 2017, the TRU Retail Debtors filed voluntary petitions with the Bankruptcy 

Court under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtor’s subsidiaries, the Propco I Debtors, own or 

directly lease a substantial portion of the Company’s interests in real property, including, at the 

commencement of these Chapter 11 Cases, approximately 311 retail locations. These leases were subleased 

to TRU DE pursuant to the Master Lease. The Master Lease was rejected on June 30, 2018. As a result, a 

substantial portion of Propco I, and in turn, the Debtor’s revenues ceased. 

A. Changing Retail Environment, Liquidity Concerns, and Debt Service Obligations. 

The Company was no exception to the substantial challenges facing many other retailers over the 

last several years. Market forces in tandem with consumer trends towards online shopping have caused 

many retailers with primarily brick-and-mortar based business models to restructure their operations and, 

Case 17-34665-KLP Doc 6054 Filed 12/24/18 Entered 12/24/18 16:04:05 Desc Main

 Document Page 29 of 97

 Document Page 40 of 170
23 

for some, to file voluntary petitions under the Bankruptcy Code. The TRU Retail Debtors’ business model 

fits this category of retailers, as it relied heavily on revenue being generated from consumer purchases at 

retail store locations to maintain profitability. Competition from online companies like Amazon® and bigbox retailers such as Walmart® and Target® was a major contributing factor in the decline in the 

Company’s revenues in recent years. Specifically, the Company’s revenue decreased approximately 3.9 

percent during the 2016 holiday season compared to the 2015 holiday season after certain competitors began 

implementing deep discounts to drive in-store sales. This trend continued into 2017, which forced the 

Company to limit its investments in growth initiatives. 

In addition, prior to the Petition Date, the Company’s capital structure was highly leveraged with 

an unsustainable cash debt service burden of approximately $400 million per year. The Company faced a 

$186 million liability, as the Term B-2 Loans and Term B-3 Loans had a scheduled maturity in May 2018. 

Applicable accounting regulations could have prompted the Company to make certain disclosures because 

there was substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern in fiscal year 2018. As a result, 

the Company decided that it needed a comprehensive deleveraging to right-size its balance sheet. The 

strategic decision to deleverage the capital structure would allow the Company to make necessary 

investments to maximize the business’ long-term value. The Company hired Lazard Frères & Co. LLC 

(“Lazard”) and other advisors to analyze different ways to raise approximately $200 million in incremental 

liquidity. They began engaging with potential lenders and their advisors about alternative structures for 

such incremental funds, including a sale-leaseback transaction with certain existing lenders. Ultimately, 

no such liquidity-enhancing transaction proved to be a viable option. 

Meanwhile, the Company retained Kirkland & Ellis LLP (“K&E”) and Alvarez & Marsal (“A&M”) 

to focus on contingency planning, which involved securing DIP financing and preparing for an orderly 

chapter 11 filing. These plans were ultimately accelerated after a news article stating that the Company 

was considering restructuring options was published on September 6, 2017. Major media outlets around 

the world immediately picked up this story, and, within 72 hours, suppliers began to pull terms and withhold 

products that were not paid with cash on delivery. Most of the Company’s international credit insurers 

withdrew or significantly limited their coverage for vendors shipping to the Company. This loss in product 

and tightening of liquidity had a deleterious impact on the Company’s supply chain and happened at a time 

when the Company typically began securing additional inventory for the upcoming holiday season. 

Accordingly, the Company prepared for these Chapter 11 Cases, finalized negotiations, and documented 

the DIP financing arrangement on an expedited timeline so that it could resolve these operational and 

financial issues expeditiously. 

VIII. EVENTS OF THE CHAPTER 11 CASES 

A. First and Second Day Relief. 

On the Petition Date, the TRU Retail Debtors filed their voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 

11 (the “Petitions”) of the Bankruptcy Code and various motions to facilitate the Chapter 11 Cases, to 

minimize disruption to the TRU Retail Debtors’ businesses, and to continue operating as a going concern. 

The relief sought in the “first day” and “second day” pleadings allowed the TRU Retail Debtors to transition 

seamlessly into chapter 11 and aided in preserving the Company’s going-concern value. A brief description 

of the first day motions and the evidence in support thereof are set forth in the Declaration of David A. 

Brandon, Chief Executive Officer of Toys “R” Us, Inc., in Support of Chapter 11 Petitions and First Day 

Motions (the “Brandon Declaration”) [Docket No. 20] and the Declaration of Michael J. Short, Chief 

Financial Officer of Toys “R” Us, Inc., in Support of Debtors’ First Day Motions [Docket No. 30] 

(the “Short Declaration” and, together with the Brandon Declaration, the “First Day Declarations”) filed on 

September 19, 2017. The first and second day motions, the First Day Declarations, and all others for relief 

granted in these Chapter 11 Cases can be viewed at no charge at https://cases.primeclerk.com/toysrus.

B. Other Procedural and Administrative Motions. 

The TRU Retail Debtors received authorization to implement procedural and administrative 

measures that would allow them to efficiently administer their Chapter 11 Cases and reduce administrative 

burdens associated therewith. Such authority included the following: 

x granting the joint administration of the Chapter 11 Cases; 

x approving notice, case management, and administrative procedures to govern the Chapter 11 

Cases; 

x extending the time for the TRU Retail Debtors to file certain schedules of assets and liabilities, 

schedules of executory contracts and unexpired leases, and statements of financial affairs; 

x authorizing the TRU Retail Debtors to file a consolidated list of creditors in lieu of a separate 

mailing matrix for each Debtor and to file a consolidated list of the TRU Retail Debtors’ 50 

largest creditors; and 

x approving procedures for the interim compensation and reimbursement to retained 

Professionals in the Chapter 11 Cases. 

 The TRU Retail Debtors recognized that any interruption in their businesses, even if for a brief 

period of time, would negatively impact their operations, customer relationships, and revenue and profits. 

As a result, the TRU Retail Debtors obtained Court approval that facilitated stabilizing their businesses and 

effectuated a smooth transition into operating as debtors in possession. Specifically, the TRU Retail 

Debtors sought and obtained orders authorizing them to do the following: 

x maintain and administer customer programs and honor obligations arising under or relating to 

those such programs; 

x pay prepetition wages, salaries and other compensation, reimbursable employee expenses, 

employee medical costs, and similar benefits; 

x determine adequate assurance for future utility service and establish procedures for utility 

providers to object to such assurance; 

x continue insurance coverage, including performance under their self-insurance programs, and 

enter into new insurance policies, if necessary; 

x establish procedures for certain transfers and declarations of worthlessness with respect to 

common stock; 

x maintain their existing cash management systems; and 

x remit and pay certain taxes and fees. 

 In addition to the foregoing relief, the TRU Retail Debtors sought and obtained Bankruptcy Court 

approval to pay up to approximately $325 million in certain prepetition vendor and third-party service 

providers’ claims who the TRU Retail Debtors believed were essential to their ongoing business operations

[Docket No. 708]. Importantly, the TRU Retail Debtors were able to condition payments of these 

prepetition claims on the vendors’ agreement to provide, among other things, favorable trade terms for the 

Case 17-34665-KLP Doc 6054 Filed 12/24/18 Entered 12/24/18 16:04:05 Desc Main

25 

postpetition procurement of goods from the vendors. This relief was critical to the TRU Retail Debtors 

maintaining their ongoing business operations at the early stages of their Chapter 11 Cases. 

C. Retention Applications for Chapter 11 Professionals 

The TRU Retail Debtors filed several applications and obtained authority to retain various 

professionals to assist the TRU Retail Debtors in carrying out their duties under the Bankruptcy Code during 

the Chapter 11 Cases. These professionals include (a) K&E, as counsel, (b) Kutak Rock LLP, as cocounsel, (c) A&M, as restructuring advisors, (d) Lazard, as investment banker, (e) Prime Clerk, as 

solicitation agent and administrative agent, (f) A&G Realty Partners, LLC, as real estate consultant and 

advisor, (g) Cushman & Wakefield U.S., Inc., as co-real estate advisor, (h) Consensus Advisory Services 

LLC (“Consensus”) and Consensus Securities LLC, as sale process investment bankers, (i) Malfitano 

Advisors, LLC, as asset dispositions advisor and consultant, (j) DJM Realty Services, LLC (“DJM”), as 

real estate consultant and advisor, (k) KPMG LLC, as tax consultants and internal audit advisor, and 

(l) PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”), as tax and accounting advisory consultants, among other 

professionals. 

Toys Delaware and Geoffrey appointed their own Disinterested Directors who retained their own 

professionals for all matters involving a conflict of interest between other Debtors (“Conflict Matters”). 

Toys Delaware retained Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle LLP, as its counsel (Katten Muchin 

Rosenman LLP has succeeded Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle LLP, as counsel) and Zolfo Cooper, 

LLC, as its financial advisor, and Geoffrey retained Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, as its counsel, 

and Kaufman & Canoles, P.C, as co-counsel. 

D. Appointment of Official Committee. 

On September 26, 2017, the U.S. Trustee appointed the following constituents to the Creditors’ 

Committee: (a) Mattel, Inc.; (b) Huffy Corporation; (c) Evenflo Company Inc.; (d) KIMCO Realty; (e) The 

Bank of New York Mellon, (f) Euler Hermes North America Insurance Co., (g) LEGO Systems, Inc., (h) 

Veritiv Operating Company, and (i) Simon Property Group, Inc. The Creditors’ Committee retained (a) 

Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP and Wolcott Rivers Gates as co-counsels, (b) Bennett Jones LLP as 

Canadian counsel, (c) Berwin Leighton Paisner LLP (which is now known as Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner 

LLP) as special foreign counsel, (d) Moelis & Company LLC as investment banker, (e) FTI Consulting, 

Inc. as financial advisor, and (f) JND Corporate Restructuring as information services agent. The Creditors’ 

Committee established a website at www.jndla.com/cases/toyscommittee that has been maintained by and 

through JND Corporate Restructuring to share case information with unsecured creditors. 

E. Schedules, Statements, Claims Bar Date, and Administrative Claims Bar Date 

On November 16, 2017, the TRU Retail Debtors filed their Schedules and Statements with the 

Bankruptcy Court pursuant to section 521 of the Bankruptcy Code. 

The Bankruptcy Code allows the time to be fixed as to when proofs of claim must be filed in a 

chapter 11 case. Subject to certain exceptions, any creditor whose Claim is not scheduled in the Schedules 

and Statements or whose Claim is scheduled as disputed, contingent, or unliquidated must file a Proof of 

Claim. The Bankruptcy Court entered the Amended Bar Date Order [Docket No. 1332] that established 

April 6, 2018, at 5:00 p.m., prevailing Eastern Time as the General Claims Bar Date (“Bar Date”) for 

claimants with claims arising prior to the Petition Date, including claims under section 503(b)(9), to file 

Proofs of Claims. Government units and certain claimants with specific types of prepetition claims were 

required to submit their Proofs of Claim on or before June 18, 2018, at 5:00 p.m., prevailing Eastern Time.

 Document Page 43 of 170
26 

Further, on May 25, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order establishing the following 

deadlines for filing certain administrative proofs of claim against the TRU Retail Debtors: (a) for an 

Administrative Claim arising on or prior to June 30, 2018: July 16, 2018, at 5:00 p.m., prevailing Eastern 

Time, and (b) for an Administrative Claim arising after June 30, 2018: the affected party shall file a Proof 

of Administrative Claim with respect to such claim following the Administrative Claims Procedures by the 

earlier of (i) the 15th day of the month following the month in which the claim arose at 5:00 p.m., prevailing 

Eastern Time and (ii) 14 days following any hearing on a plan of liquidation, structured settlement, or other 

proposed resolution to the TRU Retail Debtors’ chapter 11 cases, at 5:00 p.m., prevailing Eastern Time 

[Docket No. 3260]. The Administrative Claims Procedures Order does not apply to Toys Canada or claims 

relating to Toys Canada. 

The TRU Retail Debtors and their professionals continue to review and analyze Claims Filed in 

response to the Amended Bar Date Order and Administrative Bar Date Order and will file objections to 

Claims with the Bankruptcy Court as necessary and appropriate in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code, 

the Bankruptcy Rules, the Local Bankruptcy Rules, and the proposed Plan’s terms. The Claims resolution 

process is ongoing, which means that the Claims figures identified in this Disclosure Statement represent 

estimates only. The recoveries set forth in this Disclosure Statement could be materially lower if the actual 

Allowed Claims are higher than the current estimates. 

F. Postpetition Financing 

Prior to the Petition Date, the TRU Retail Debtors and their advisors engaged in a marketing process 

to obtain DIP financing to fund their global operations during these Chapter 11 Cases. On October 25, 

2017, the Bankruptcy Court approved approximately $3.1 billion in combined postpetition DIP financing 

for both the domestic and international silos. The North American DIP facility and subsequent waivers and 

amendments thereto is addressed below. 

IX. RISK FACTORS 

Holders of Claims should read and consider carefully the risk factors set forth below before voting 

to accept or reject the Plan. Although there are many risk factors discussed below, these factors should not 

be regarded as constituting the only risks present in connection with the Debtor’s businesses or the Plan 

and its implementation. 

A. Bankruptcy Law Considerations. 

The occurrence or non-occurrence of any or all of the following contingencies, and any others, 

could affect distributions available to holders of Allowed Claims under the Plan but will not necessarily 

affect the validity of the vote of the Impaired Classes to accept or reject the Plan or necessarily require a 

re-solicitation of the votes of Holders of Claims in such Impaired Classes. 

1. Parties in Interest May Object to the Plan’s Classification of Claims and 

Interests.

Section 1122 of the Bankruptcy Code provides that a plan may place a claim or an equity interest 

in a particular class only if such claim or equity interest is substantially similar to the other claims or equity 

interests in such class. The Debtor believes that the classification of the Claims and Interests under the Plan 

complies with the requirements set forth in the Bankruptcy Code because the Debtor created Classes of 

Claims and Interests each encompassing Claims or Interests, as applicable, that are substantially similar to 

the other Claims or Interests, as applicable, in each such Class. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance 

that the Bankruptcy Court will reach the same conclusion.

 Document Page 44 of 170
27 

2. The Conditions Precedent to the Effective Date of the Plan May Not Occur.

As more fully set forth in Article IX of the Plan, the Effective Date is subject to a number of 

conditions precedent. If such conditions precedent are not met or waived, the Effective Date will not take 

place. 

3. The Debtor May Fail to Satisfy Vote Requirements.

If votes are received in number and amount sufficient to enable the Bankruptcy Court to confirm 

the Plan, the Debtor intends to seek, as promptly as practicable thereafter, Confirmation of the Plan. In the 

event that sufficient votes are not received, the Debtor may seek to confirm an alternative chapter 11 plan 

or transaction. There can be no assurance that the terms of any such alternative chapter 11 plan or other 

transaction would be similar or as favorable to the holders of Interest and Allowed Claims as those proposed 

in the Plan and the Debtor do not believe that any such transaction exists or is likely to exist that would be 

more beneficial to the Estate than the Plan. 

4. The Debtor May Not Be Able to Secure Confirmation of the Plan.

Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code sets forth the requirements for confirmation of a chapter 11 

plan, and requires, among other things, a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that: (a) such plan “does not 

unfairly discriminate” and is “fair and equitable” with respect to any non-accepting classes; 

(b) confirmation of such plan is not likely to be followed by a liquidation or a need for further financial 

reorganization unless such liquidation or reorganization is contemplated by the plan; and (c) the value of 

distributions to non-accepting holders of claims and equity interests within a particular class under such 

plan will not be less than the value of distributions such holders would receive if the Debtor were liquidated 

under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. 

There can be no assurance that the requisite acceptances to confirm the Plan will be received. Even 

if the requisite acceptances are received, there can be no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will confirm 

the Plan. A non-accepting holder of an Allowed Claim might challenge either the adequacy of this 

Disclosure Statement or whether the balloting procedures and voting results satisfy the requirements of the 

Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules. Even if the Bankruptcy Court determines that this Disclosure 

Statement, the balloting procedures, and voting results are appropriate, the Bankruptcy Court could still 

decline to confirm the Plan if it finds that any of the statutory requirements for Confirmation are not met. 

If a chapter 11 plan of reorganization is not confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, it is unclear whether the 

Debtor will be able to reorganize their business and what, if anything, holders of Interests and Allowed 

Claims against them would ultimately receive. 

The Debtor reserves the right to modify the terms and conditions of the Plan as necessary for 

Confirmation. Any such modifications could result in less favorable treatment of any non-accepting Class 

of Claims or Interests, as well as any Class junior to such non-accepting Class, than the treatment currently 

provided in the Plan. Such a less favorable treatment could include a distribution of property with a lesser 

value than currently provided in the Plan or no distribution whatsoever under the Plan. 

5. Nonconsensual Confirmation.

In the event that any impaired class of claims or interests does not accept a chapter 11 plan, a 

bankruptcy court may nevertheless confirm a plan at the proponents’ request if at least one impaired class 

(as defined under section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code) has accepted the plan (with such acceptance being 

determined without including the vote of any “insider” in such class), and, as to each impaired class that 

has not accepted the plan, the bankruptcy court determines that the plan “does not discriminate unfairly” 

and is “fair and equitable” with respect to the dissenting impaired class(es). The Debtor believes that the 

Case 17-34665-KLP Doc 6054 Filed 12/24/18 Entered 12/24/18 16:04:05 Desc Main

 Document Page 34 of 97

Case 17-34665-KLP Doc 6119 Filed 12/28/18 Entered 12/28/18 12:44:40 Desc Main

 Document Page 45 of 170
28 

Plan satisfies these requirements, and the Debtor may request such nonconsensual Confirmation in 

accordance with subsection 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that 

the Bankruptcy Court will reach this conclusion. In addition, the pursuit of nonconsensual Confirmation 

or Consummation of the Plan may result in, among other things, increased expenses relating to professional 

compensation. 

6. Continued Risk upon Confirmation.

Even if the Plan is consummated, the Debtor will continue to face a number of risks, including 

certain risks that are beyond their control, such as further industry deterioration or other changes in 

economic conditions, potential revaluing of their assets due to chapter 11 proceedings, and increasing 

expenses. Some of these concerns and effects typically become more acute when a case under the 

Bankruptcy Code continues for a protracted period without indication of how or when the case may be 

completed. As a result of these risks and others, there is no guarantee that a chapter 11 plan of 

reorganization reflecting the Plan will achieve the Debtor’s stated goals.

In addition, at the outset of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Bankruptcy Code gave the Debtor the 

exclusive right to propose a chapter 11 plan and prohibited creditors and others from proposing a plan. On 

December 19, 2017, the Court extended the exclusive period to propose a chapter 11 plan [Docket 

No. 1319] and on August 8, 2018, the Court further extended the exclusive period to propose a chapter 11 

plan [Docket No. 4081], and on November 12, 2018, the Debtor requested a further extension through 

February 10, 2019. The Debtor will have retained the exclusive right to propose and solicit votes on the 

Plan upon filing its Petition. If the Bankruptcy Court terminates that right, however, or the exclusivity 

period expires, there could be a material adverse effect on the Debtor’s ability to achieve confirmation of 

the Plan in order to achieve the Debtor’s stated goals.

Furthermore, even if the Debtor’s debts are reduced and/or discharged through the Plan, the Debtor 

may need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financing or other various means 

to fund the Debtor’s business after the completion of the proceedings related to the Chapter 11 Cases. 

Adequate funds may not be available when needed or may not be available on favorable terms. 

7. The Chapter 11 Cases May Be Converted to Cases Under Chapter 7 of the 

Bankruptcy Code.

If the Bankruptcy Court finds that it would be in the best interest of creditors and/or the debtor in 

a chapter 11 case, the Bankruptcy Court may convert a chapter 11 bankruptcy case to a case under chapter 7 

of the Bankruptcy Code. In such event, a chapter 7 trustee would be appointed or elected to liquidate the 

debtor’s assets for distribution in accordance with the priorities established by the Bankruptcy Code. The 

Debtor believes that liquidation under chapter 7 would result in significantly smaller distributions being 

made to creditors than those provided for in a chapter 11 plan because of (a) the likelihood that the assets 

would have to be sold or otherwise disposed of in a disorderly fashion over a short period of time rather 

than selling in a controlled manner affecting the business as a going concern, (b) additional administrative 

expenses involved in the appointment of a chapter 7 trustee, and (c) additional expenses and Claims, some 

of which would be entitled to priority, that would be generated during the liquidation, and including Claims 

resulting from the rejection of Unexpired Leases and other Executory Contracts in connection with 

cessation of operations. 

8. The Debtor May Object to the Amount or Classification of a Claim.

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Debtor reserves the right to object to the amount or 

classification of any Claim under the Plan. The estimates set forth in this Disclosure Statement cannot be 

relied upon by any holder of a Claim where such Claim is subject to an objection. Any Holder of a Claim

that is subject to an objection thus may not receive its expected share of the estimated distributions described 

in this Disclosure Statement. 

9. Risk of Non-Occurrence of the Effective Date.

Although the Debtor believes that the Effective Date may occur quickly after the Confirmation 

Date, there can be no assurance as to such timing or as to whether the Effective Date will, in fact, occur. 

10. Contingencies Could Affect Votes of Impaired Classes to Accept or Reject the 

Plan.

The distributions available to Holders of Allowed Claims under the Plan can be affected by a variety 

of contingencies, including, without limitation, whether the Bankruptcy Court orders certain Allowed 

Claims to be subordinated to other Allowed Claims. The occurrence of any and all such contingencies, 

which could affect distributions available to holders of Allowed Claims under the Plan, will not affect the 

validity of the vote taken by the Impaired Classes to accept or reject the Plan or require any sort of revote 

by the Impaired Classes. 

The estimated Claims and creditor recoveries set forth in this Disclosure Statement are based on 

various assumptions, and the actual Allowed amounts of Claims may significantly differ from the estimates. 

Should one or more of the underlying assumptions ultimately prove to be incorrect, the actual Allowed 

amounts of Claims may vary from the estimated Claims contained in this Disclosure Statement. Moreover, 

the Debtor cannot determine with any certainty at this time, the number or amount of Claims that will 

ultimately be Allowed. Such differences may materially and adversely affect, among other things, the 

percentage recoveries to Holders of Allowed Claims under the Plan. 

11. Releases, Injunctions, and Exculpations Provisions May Not Be Approved.

Article VIII of the Plan provides for certain releases, injunctions, and exculpations, including a 

release of liens and third-party releases that may otherwise be asserted against the Debtor or Released 

Parties, as applicable. The releases, injunctions, and exculpations provided in the Plan are subject to 

objection by parties in interest and may not be approved. If the releases are not approved, certain Released 

Parties may withdraw their support for the Plan, and the Debtor may not be able to obtain Confirmation of 

the Plan. 

12. Certain Tax Implications of the Plan.

Holders of Allowed Claims and Interests should carefully review Article XI of this Disclosure 

Statement entitled “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Plan,” to determine 

how tax implications of the Plan and the Chapter 11 Cases may adversely affect the Holders of Claims and 

Interests. 

B. Risks Related to the Debtor’s Businesses. 

1. The Debtor Will Be Subject to the Risks and Uncertainties Associated with 

the Chapter 11 Cases.

For the duration of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtor’s ability to operate, develop, and execute a 

business plan, and continue as a going concern, will be subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with 

bankruptcy. These risks include: (a) ability to develop, confirm, and consummate the Sale Transaction 

specified in the Plan; (b) ability to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval with respect to motions filed in the 

Chapter 11 Cases from time to time; (c) ability to maintain relationship with suppliers, vendors, service

30 

providers, contract counterparties, employees, and other third parties; (d) ability to maintain contracts that 

are critical to the Debtor’s operations; (e) ability of third parties to seek and obtain Bankruptcy Court 

approval to terminate contracts and other agreements with the Debtor; (f) ability of third parties to seek and 

obtain Bankruptcy Court approval to terminate or shorten the exclusivity period for the Debtor to propose 

and confirm a chapter 11 plan, to appoint a chapter 11 trustee, or to convert the Chapter 11 Cases to chapter 

7 cases; and (g) the actions and decisions of the Debtor’s creditors and other third parties who have interest 

in the Chapter 11 Cases that may be inconsistent with the Debtor’s plans.

These risks and uncertainties could affect the Debtor’s businesses and operations in various ways. 

For example, negative events associated with the Chapter 11 Cases could adversely affect the Debtor’s 

relationships with suppliers, service providers, contract counterparties, employees, and other third parties, 

which in turn could adversely affect the Debtor’s operations and financial condition. Also, the Debtor will 

need the prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court for transactions outside the ordinary course of business, 

which may limit the Debtor’s ability to respond timely to certain events or take advantage of certain 

opportunities. Because of the risks and uncertainties associated with the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtor 

cannot accurately predict or quantify the ultimate impact of events that occur during the Chapter 11 Cases 

that may be inconsistent with the Debtor’s plans.

2. Operating in Bankruptcy for a Long Period of Time May Harm the Debtor’s 

Businesses.

A long period of operations under Bankruptcy Court protection could have a material adverse effect 

on the Debtor’s businesses, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity. A prolonged period of 

operating under Bankruptcy Court protection Debtor will add significant transaction costs as the Debtor 

dispose of their properties, reducing the recoveries available to their stakeholders. In addition, the longer 

the proceedings related the Chapter 11 Cases continue, the more likely it is that suppliers and potential 

purchasers will lose confidence in the Debtor’s ability to sell their businesses and may seek to establish 

alternative commercial relationships. 

So long as the proceedings related to the Chapter 11 Cases continue, the Debtor will be required to 

incur substantial costs for professional fees and other expenses associated with the administration of the 

Chapter 11 Cases. As of the date hereof, the chapter 11 proceedings are being funded through the Debtor’s 

unencumbered cash on hand. If the Chapter 11 Cases continue for a prolonged period of time, it may be 

necessary for the Debtor to seek debtor-in-possession financing to fund their operations. If the Debtor is 

forced to seek debtor-in-possession financing, the likelihood that the Debtor will instead be required to 

liquidate may be increased, and, as a result, creditor recoveries may be significantly impaired. 

X. STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS FOR CONFIRMATION OF THE PLAN 

A. Requirements for Confirmation of the Plan. 

Among the requirements for Confirmation of the Plan pursuant to section 1129 of the Bankruptcy 

Code are: (1) the Plan is accepted by all Impaired Classes of Claims or Interests, or if rejected by an 

Impaired Class, the Plan “does not discriminate unfairly” and is “fair and equitable” as to the rejecting 

Impaired Class; (2) the Plan is feasible; and (3) the Plan is in the “best interests” of Holders of Claims and 

Interests. 

At the Confirmation Hearing, the Bankruptcy Court will determine whether the Plan satisfies all of 

the requirements of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtor believes that: (1) the Plan satisfies, 

or will satisfy, all of the necessary statutory requirements of chapter 11 for plan confirmation; (2) the Debtor 

has complied, or will have complied, with all of the necessary requirements of chapter 11; and (3) the Plan 

has been proposed in good faith.

1. Feasibility. 

The Bankruptcy Code requires that to confirm a chapter 11 plan, the Bankruptcy Court must find 

that confirmation of such plan is not likely to be followed by the liquidation or the need for further financial 

reorganization of the debtor(s) unless contemplated by the plan. 

The Plan provides for the transfer of the Debtor’s equity solely so that Holders of General 

Unsecured Claims against the Debtors can receive any applicable recoveries under the Propco I Plan. 

Accordingly, the Debtor believes that all Plan obligations will be satisfied without the need for further 

reorganization of the Debtor. 

2. Best Interests of Creditors—Liquidation Analysis. 

Notwithstanding acceptance of the Plan by a voting Impaired Class, to confirm the Plan, the 

Bankruptcy Court must still independently determine that the Plan is in the best interests of each holder of 

a Claim or Interest in any such Impaired Class that has not voted to accept the Plan, meaning that the Plan 

provides each such holder with a recovery that has a value at least equal to the value of the recovery that 

each such Holder would receive if the debtor was liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code 

beginning on what would have been the Effective Date. Accordingly, if an Impaired Class does not 

unanimously vote to accept the Plan, the best interests test requires the Bankruptcy Court to find that the 

Plan provides to each member of such Impaired Class a recovery on account of the Class member’s Claim 

or Interest that has a value, as of the Effective Date, at least equal to the value of the recovery that each 

such Class member would receive if the Debtor were liquidated under chapter 7 beginning on the Effective 

Date. 

The Debtor believes that the Plan will satisfy the best interests test because, among other things, 

they have been advised by their advisors that the recoveries expected to be available to Holders of Allowed 

Claims under the Plan will be greater than the recoveries expected to be available in a chapter 7 liquidation, 

as discussed more fully below. 

In a typical chapter 7 case, a trustee is elected or appointed to liquidate a debtor’s assets and to 

make distributions to creditors in accordance with the priorities established in the Bankruptcy 

Code. Generally, secured creditors are paid first from the proceeds of sales of their collateral. If any assets 

remain in the bankruptcy estate after satisfaction of secured creditors’ claims from their collateral, 

administrative expenses are next to be paid. After accounting for administrative expenses, unsecured 

creditors (including any secured creditor deficiency claims) are paid from the sale proceeds of any 

unencumbered assets and any remaining sale proceeds of encumbered assets in excess of any secured 

claims, according to their respective priorities. Unsecured creditors with the same priority share in 

proportion to the amount of their allowed claims in relationship to the total amount of allowed claims held 

by all unsecured creditors with the same priority. Finally, interest holders receive the balance that remains, 

if any, after all creditors are paid. 

A chapter 7 liquidation beginning on what would have been the Effective Date would provide less 

recovery for creditors than the Plan. The Debtor’s only asset is its ownership interest in the Propco I 

Debtors, the value of which is entirely speculative and contingent on the proceeds from the sale of the 

Propco I Debtors’ assets. Accordingly, the only effect of appointment of a chapter 7 trustee would be a 

delay and increased fees while the chapter 7 trustee attempted to sell those interests. In contrast, the Plan 

provides for a direct transfer of such Interests to the Debtor’s General Unsecured Creditors, which will 

allow those Claimants to directly receive their recoveries, if any, under the Propco I Plan. 

The Estate would continue to be obligated to pay all unpaid expenses incurred by the Debtor during 

the Chapter 11 Cases (such as compensation for Professionals), which may constitute Allowed Claims in 

Case 17-34665-KLP Doc 6054 Filed 12/24/18 Entered 12/24/18 16:04:05 Desc Main

 Document Page 38 of 97

Case 17-34665-KLP Doc 6119 Filed 12/28/18 Entered 12/28/18 12:44:40 Desc Main

 Document Page 49 of 170
32 

any chapter 11 case. Moreover, the conversion to chapter 7 would also require entry of a new bar date for 

filing claims that would be more than 90 days following conversion of the case to chapter 7. See Fed. R. 

Bankr. P. 1019(2); 3002(c). Thus, the amount of Claims ultimately filed and Allowed against the Debtor 

could materially increase, thereby further reducing creditor recoveries versus those available under the Plan. 

In light of the foregoing, the Debtor submit that a chapter 7 liquidation would result in materially 

reduced sale proceeds, increased expenses, delayed distributions, and the prospect of additional claims that 

were not asserted in the Chapter 11 Cases. Accordingly, the Debtor believes that the Plan provides an 

opportunity to bring the highest return for creditors. 

B. Alternative Plans. 

The Debtor do not believe that there are any alternative plans for the reorganization or liquidation 

of the Debtor’s Estate. The Debtor believes that the Plan structure, as described herein, enables holders of 

Claims and Interests to realize the greatest possible value under the circumstances and that, compared to 

any alternative plan, for example, a fire sale liquidation, the Plan has the greatest chance to be confirmed 

and consummated. 

C. Acceptance by Impaired Classes. 

The Bankruptcy Code requires, as a condition to Confirmation that, except as described in the 

following section, each class of claims or equity interests that is impaired under a plan accept the plan. A 

class that is not “impaired” under a plan is presumed to have accepted the plan and, therefore, solicitation 

of acceptances with respect to such class is not required. Pursuant to section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code, 

a class is “impaired” unless the plan: (1) leaves unaltered the legal, equitable, and contractual rights to 

which the claim or the equity interest entitles the holder of such claim or equity interest; (2) cures any 

default, reinstates the original terms of such obligation, and compensates the applicable party in question; 

or (3) provides that, on the consummation date, the holder of such claim or equity interest receives cash 

equal to the allowed amount of that claim or, with respect to any equity interest, any fixed liquidation 

preference to which the holder of such equity interest is entitled to any fixed price at which the debtor may 

redeem the security. 

Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code defines acceptance of a plan by a class of impaired 

creditors as acceptance by holders of at least two-thirds in dollar amount and more than one-half in number 

of claims in that class, but for that purpose counts only those who actually vote to accept or to reject a plan. 

Votes that have been “designated” under section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code are not included in the 

calculation of acceptance by a class of claims. Thus, a Class of creditor Claims will have voted to accept 

the Plan only if two-thirds in amount and a majority in number actually voting cast their Ballots in favor of 

acceptance, subject to Article III of the Plan. Only Holders of Claims in the Voting Class will be entitled 

to vote on the Plan. 

Section 1126(d) of the Bankruptcy Code defines acceptance of a plan by a class of interests as 

acceptance by holders of at least two-thirds in dollar amount of those interests who actually vote to accept 

or reject a plan. Votes that have been “designated” under section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code are not 

included in the calculation of acceptance by a class of interests. Thus, a Class of Interests will have voted 

to accept the Plan only if two-thirds in amount actually voting cast their Ballots in favor of acceptance, not 

counting designated votes, subject to Article III of the Plan. No Class including Holders of Interests is 

entitled to vote on the Plan.

33 

D. Confirmation Without Acceptance by All Impaired Classes. 

Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code allows a bankruptcy court to confirm a plan even if 

Impaired Classes entitled to vote on the plan have not accepted it or if an Impaired Class is deemed to reject 

the Plan; provided that the plan is accepted by at least one Impaired Class. Pursuant to section 1129(b) of 

the Bankruptcy Code, notwithstanding an impaired class’s rejection or deemed rejection of the plan, such 

plan will be confirmed, at the plan proponent’s request, in a procedure commonly known as “cram down,” 

so long as the plan does not “discriminate unfairly” and is “fair and equitable” with respect to each class of 

claims or equity interests that is impaired under, and has not accepted, the plan. 

1. No Unfair Discrimination. 

This test applies to Classes of Claims or Interests that are of equal priority and are receiving 

different treatment under the Plan. The test does not require that the treatment be the same or equivalent, 

but that such treatment be “fair.” In general, bankruptcy courts consider whether a plan discriminates 

unfairly in its treatment of Classes of Claims of equal rank (e.g., classes of the same legal character). The 

Debtor do not believe the Plan discriminates unfairly against any Impaired Class of Claims or Interests. 

The Debtor believes that the Plan and the treatment of all Classes of Claims and Interests satisfy the 

foregoing requirements for nonconsensual Confirmation. 

2. Fair and Equitable Test. 

This test applies to classes of different priority and status (e.g., secured versus unsecured) and 

includes the general requirement that no class of claims receive more than 100 percent of the amount of the 

allowed claims in such class. As to the non-accepting class, the test sets different standards depending on 

the type of claims or interests in such class. As set forth below, the Debtor believes that the Plan satisfies 

the “fair and equitable” requirement because, for each applicable Class, there is no Class of equal priority 

receiving more favorable treatment and no Class that is junior to such dissenting Class that will receive or 

retain any property on account of the Claims or Interests in such Class. 

a. Secured Claims.

The condition that a plan be “fair and equitable” to a non-accepting class of secured claims includes 

the requirements that: (i) the holders of such secured claims retain the liens securing such claims to the 

extent of the allowed amount of the claims, whether the property subject to the liens is retained by the 

debtor or transferred to another entity under the plan; and (ii) each holder of a secured claim in the class 

receives deferred cash payments totaling at least the allowed amount of such claim with a present value, as 

of the effective date of the plan, at least equivalent to the value of the secured claimant’s interest in the 

debtor’s property subject to the liens.

b. Unsecured Claims.

The condition that a plan be “fair and equitable” to a non-accepting class of unsecured claims 

requires that either: (i) the plan provides that each holder of a claim of such class receive or retain on 

account of such claim property of a value, as of the effective date of the plan, equal to the allowed amount 

of such claim; or (ii) the holder of any claim or any equity interest that is junior to the claims of such class 

will not receive or retain under the plan on account of such junior claim or junior equity interest any 

property. 

c. Equity Interests.

34 

The condition that a plan be “fair and equitable” to a non-accepting class of equity interests includes 

the requirements that either: (i) the plan provides that each holder of an equity interest in that class receives 

or retains under the plan on account of that equity interest property of a value, as of the effective date of the 

plan, equal to the greater of: (A) the allowed amount of any fixed liquidation preference to which such 

holder is entitled; (B) any fixed redemption price to which such holder is entitled; or (C) the value of such 

interest; or (ii) if the class does not receive the amount as required under (i) hereof, no class of equity 

interests junior to the non-accepting class may receive a distribution under the plan. 

XI. CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN 

A. Introduction. 

The following discussion is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the 

consummation of the Plan to the Debtor and to certain Holders of Claims entitled to vote on the Plan. The 

following summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences to Holders of Claims who 

are Unimpaired or otherwise entitled to payment in full in Cash under the Plan. This summary is based on 

the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”), the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated 

thereunder, judicial authorities, published administrative positions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service 

(the “IRS”) and other applicable authorities, all as in effect on the date of this Disclosure Statement and all 

of which are subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly with retroactive effect and affect the 

accuracy of this discussion. Due to the lack of definitive judicial and administrative authority in a number 

of areas, substantial uncertainty may exist with respect to some of the tax consequences described below. 

No opinion of counsel has been obtained and the Debtor do not intend to seek a ruling from the IRS as to 

any of the tax consequences of the Plan discussed below. The discussion below is not binding upon the 

IRS or the courts. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not 

sustain, a different position than any position discussed herein. 

This summary does not address non-U.S., state, local or non-income tax consequences of the Plan, 

nor does it purport to address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to a Holder 

in light of its individual circumstances or to a Holder that may be subject to special tax rules (such as 

Entities that are related to the Debtor within the meaning of the IRC, broker-dealers, banks, mutual funds, 

insurance companies, financial institutions, small business investment companies, regulated investment 

companies, real estate investment trusts, tax-exempt organizations, governmental authorities or agencies, 

pass-through entities, beneficial owners of pass-through entities, subchapter S corporations, employees or 

persons who received their Claims pursuant to the exercise of an employee stock option or otherwise as 

compensation, persons using a mark-to-market method of accounting, and Holders of Claims who are 

themselves in bankruptcy), unless otherwise specifically stated herein. Furthermore, this summary assumes 

that a Holder holds only Claims in a single Class and holds a Claim only as a “capital asset” (within the 

meaning of Section 1221 of the IRC). This summary also assumes that the various debt and other 

arrangements to which any of the Debtor is a party will be respected for U.S. federal income tax purposes 

as debt, as applicable, in accordance with their form. This summary does not discuss differences in tax 

consequences to a Holder that acts or receives consideration in a capacity other than as a Holder of a Claim 

of the same Class, and the tax consequences for such Holders may differ materially from that described 

below. 

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a Holder that is: (1) an individual citizen or 

resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes; (2) a corporation (or other entity treated 

as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized under the laws of the United 

States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; (3) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. 

federal income taxation regardless of the source of such income; or (4) a trust (A) if a court within the 

United States is able to exercise primary jurisdiction over the trust’s administration and one or more “United

States persons” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the IRC) have authority to control all 

substantial decisions of the trust or (B) that has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury 

Regulations to be treated as a United States person. For purposes of this discussion, a “Non-U.S. Holder” 

is any Holder that is not a U.S. Holder other than any partnership (or other entity treated as a partnership or 

other pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes). 

If a partnership (or other entity treated as a partnership or other pass-through entity for U.S. federal 

income tax purposes) is a Holder, the tax treatment of a partner (or other beneficial owner) generally will 

depend upon the status of the partner (or other beneficial owner) and the activities of the entity. Partners 

(or other beneficial owners) of partnerships (or other pass-through entities) that are Holders should consult 

their respective tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Plan.

THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY OF CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX 

CONSEQUENCES IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY, ONLY ADDRESSES 

CERTAIN CONSIDERATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX 

TREATMENT OF THE DEBTOR, U.S. HOLDERS AND NON-U.S. HOLDERS, AND IS NOT A 

SUBSTITUTE FOR CAREFUL TAX PLANNING AND ADVICE BASED UPON THE 

INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES PERTAINING TO A HOLDER OF A CLAIM. SEVERAL OF 

THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN, AND OF OWNING 

CONSIDERATION ISSUED PURSUANT TO THE PLAN, ARE SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT 

UNCERTAINTY. ALL HOLDERS OF CLAIMS OR INTERESTS ARE URGED TO CONSULT 

THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, NON-U.S., AND 

NON-INCOME, ESTATE, AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN.

B. Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences to the Debtor. 

3. In General - Taxable Transaction. 

The implementation of the Plan is expected to be treated as a taxable transaction from the 

perspective of the Debtor and its Affiliates. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Debtor is disregarded 

entity of Toys “R” Us Europe, LLC, which is a member of an affiliated group of corporations (or entities 

disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes that are wholly owned by members of such group), of 

which Toys “R” Us Inc. is the common parent (the “Toys Group”). As such, any taxable gain or loss 

resulting from the implementation of the Plan will be recognized by Toys “R” Us Europe, LLC, rather than 

the Debtor. 

4. Partnership Treatment; No Partnership with Toys Group. 

The discussion in this tax disclosure assumes that (a) Reorganized Propco I is taxable as a 

partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (b) the Debtor is never treated as owning the New 

Contingent Equity Rights as a member of the Toys Group. In particular, the discussion assumes that 

Reorganized Propco I is not subject to the “publicly traded partnership” provisions of the IRC or that the 

Holders of Propco I Credit Agreement Claims (as defined in the Propco I Plan) do not exercise their right 

to treat Reorganized Propco or any of its subsidiaries as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 

In the event those provisions applied or such Holders were to exercise such right, the U.S. federal income 

tax consequences of the Plan to the Debtor could differ (and the tax consequences of the Plan to Holders of 

Claims would be materially different). 

Because the Debtor will be making distributions on account of a guarantee claim against it, and the 

primary issuer of the relevant debt is another member of the Toys Group, the Debtor expects that a

36 

subrogation claim will arise as between the Debtor and Toys Delaware, with such claim immediately being 

cancelled. This is not expected to result in any tax consequences for the Debtor. 

C. Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders of Allowed 

Claims and Interests. 

THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN ARE COMPLEX 

AND DEPEND IN PART ON AN ASSUMPTION REGARDING THE POTENTIAL HOLDING 

STRUCTURE FOR THE NEW CONTINGENT EQUITY RIGHTS THAT HAS NOT YET BEEN 

FINALIZED. AS SUCH, U.S. HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS 

CONCERNING TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN.

5. Certain General Considerations. 

a. Holding Structure for New Contingent Equity Rights. 

The following discussion assumes that, pursuant to the Plan, the Debtor directly distributes the New 

Contingent Equity Rights to Holders of Class 3 Claims (the “Direct Holding Structure”). The Debtor and 

Holders of such Claims are actively considering alternative holding structures, which may include, among 

other things, treatment that would result in the New Contingent Equity Rights being directly or indirectly 

owned by entity taxed as a corporation (“Corporate Holdco”), with Holders of Class 3 Claims receiving 

equity in Corporate Holdco rather than receiving the New Contingent Equity Rights directly (“Corporate 

Holdco Equity”). In such a case, Corporate Holdco would be directly subject to the go-forward tax 

consequences of owning the New Contingent Equity Rights, while Holders of the Corporate Holdco Equity 

would be subject to tax consequences associated with owning stock of a corporation, which consequences 

have not been disclosed below. In the event the Debtor and Holders of Class 3 Claims elect to utilize a 

Corporate Holdco structure, or any structure other than the Direct Holding Structure, a supplemental 

disclosure regarding such structure shall be filed with the Plan Supplement. 

b. Partnership Treatment; No Partnership with Toys Group. 

Holders of Claims and Interests are referred to the discussion in the section titled “Partnership 

Treatment; No Partnership with Toys Group,” above. In the event different treatment applied, 

consequences to Holders of Claims of the implementation of the Plan, as well as ownership of the 

consideration under the Plan, would be materially different. 

6. Consequences to U.S. Holders of Class 3 Claims

Regardless of whether the Direct Holding Structure or another structure is utilized, the Debtor 

generally anticipates that, in any contemplated structure, the direct or indirect receipt of the New Contingent 

Equity Rights under the Plan will ultimately be treated as an exchange subject to section 1001 of the IRC. 

As such, U.S. Holders are expected to recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between 

their adjusted tax basis in their Claims and the fair market value of the New Contingent Equity Rights 

received in exchange for such Claims, after also taking into account any recoveries received on account of 

their primary claims against the Delaware Debtors. 

7. Accrued Interest and OID.

A portion of the consideration received directly or indirectly by U.S. Holders of Allowed Claims 

may be attributable to accrued interest or OID on such Claims. Such amount should be taxable to that U.S. 

Holder as interest income if such accrued interest or OID has not been previously included in the Holder’s 

gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Conversely, U.S. Holders of Claims may be able to

37 

recognize a deductible loss to the extent any accrued interest or OID on the Claims was previously included 

in the U.S. Holder’s gross income but was not paid in full by the Debtor.

If the fair value of the consideration is not sufficient to fully satisfy all principal and interest or OID 

on Allowed Claims, the extent to which such consideration will be attributable to accrued interest or OID 

is unclear. Under the Plan, the aggregate consideration to be distributed to Holders of Allowed Claims in 

each Class will be allocated first to the principal amount of Allowed Claims, with any excess allocated to 

unpaid interest or OID that accrued on such Claims, if any. Certain legislative history indicates that an 

allocation of consideration as between principal and interest provided in a chapter 11 plan is binding for 

U.S. federal income tax purposes, while certain Treasury Regulations generally treat payments as allocated 

first to any accrued but unpaid interest or OID and then as a payment of principal. The IRS could take the 

position that the consideration received by the U.S. Holder should be allocated in some way other than as 

provided in the Plan. 

U.S. federal income tax laws enacted in December 2017 modified section 451 of the IRC. Under 

this new provision, accrual method U.S. Holders that prepare an “applicable financial statement” (as defined 

in section 451 of the IRC) generally would be required to include certain items of income such as OID (but 

not market discount) no later than the time such amounts are reflected on such a financial statement. The 

application of this rule to income of a debt instrument with OID is effective for taxable years beginning 

after December 31, 2018. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors with regard to interest, OID, 

market discount and premium matters concerning the Claims and non-Cash consideration received therefor. 

U.S. HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING 

THE ALLOCATION OF CONSIDERATION RECEIVED IN SATISFACTION OF THEIR 

CLAIMS AND THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT OF ACCRUED INTEREST. 

8. Market Discount.

Under the “market discount” provisions of the IRC, some or all of any gain realized by a U.S. 

Holder of a Claim who exchanges the Claim for consideration in connection with the Plan may be treated 

as ordinary income (instead of capital gain), to the extent of the amount of “market discount” on the debt 

instruments constituting the exchanged Claim. In general, a debt instrument is considered to have been 

acquired with “market discount” if it is acquired other than on original issue and if its U.S. Holder’s adjusted 

tax basis in the debt instrument is less than (a) the sum of all remaining payments to be made on the debt 

instrument, excluding “qualified stated interest” or (b) in the case of a debt instrument issued with original 

issue discount, its adjusted issue price, in each case, by at least a de minimis amount (equal to 0.25% of the 

sum of all remaining payments to be made on the debt instrument, excluding qualified stated interest, 

multiplied by the number of remaining whole years to maturity). 

Any gain recognized by a U.S. Holder on the taxable disposition of Allowed Claims (determined 

as described above) that were acquired with market discount should be treated as ordinary income to the 

extent of the market discount that accrued thereon while the Allowed Claims were considered to be held by 

the U.S. Holder (unless the U.S. Holder elected to include market discount in income as it accrued). 

Section 451 of the IRC (as discussed above) generally would require accrual method U.S. Holders 

that prepare an “applicable financial statement” (as defined in section 451 of the IRC) to include certain 

items of income such as market discount no later than the time such amounts are reflected on such a 

financial statement. The application of this rule to income of a debt instrument with market discount is 

effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2018. However, the IRS recently announced in 

Notice 2018-80 that it intends to issue proposed regulations confirming that taxpayers may continue to 

defer income — including market discount income — for tax purposes until there is a payment or sale at a 

gain. Accordingly, although market discount may have to be included in income currently as it accrues for

38 

financial accounting purposes, taxpayers may continue to defer the income for U.S. federal income tax 

purposes. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors with regard to interest, OID, market discount and 

premium matters concerning the Claims and non-Cash consideration received therefor. 

9. Limitations on Use of Capital Losses. 

A U.S. Holder of a Claim who recognizes capital losses as a result of the distributions under the 

Plan will be subject to limits on the use of such capital losses. For a non-corporate U.S. Holder, capital 

losses may be used to offset any capital gains (without regard to holding periods), and also ordinary income 

to the extent of the lesser of (1) $3,000 annually ($1,500 for married individuals filing separate returns) or 

(2) the excess of the capital losses over the capital gains. A non-corporate U.S. Holder may carry over 

unused capital losses and apply them against future capital gains and a portion of their ordinary income for 

an unlimited number of years. For corporate Holders, capital losses may only be used to offset capital 

gains. A corporate U.S. Holder that has more capital losses than may be used in a tax year may carry back 

unused capital losses to the three years preceding the capital loss year or may carry over unused capital 

losses for the five years following the capital loss year. 

10. Medicare Tax. 

Certain U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates, or trusts are required to pay an additional 3.8% 

tax on, among other things, dividends, and gains from the sale or other disposition of capital assets. U.S. 

holders that are individuals, estates, or trusts should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, 

of this tax provision on the exchange of Claims for consideration in accordance with the Plan and the 

subsequent disposition of any such consideration. 

11. Ownership of New Contingent Equity Rights in Direct Holding Structure.

c. New Contingent Equity Rights. 

Reorganized Propco I is expected to be taxable as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes 

and the subsidiaries of Reorganized Propco I are expected to be disregarded as separate from Reorganized 

Propco I for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As such, items of income, gain, loss, and deduction of 

Reorganized Propco I and its subsidiaries will be allocated to U.S. Holders of the New Contingent Equity 

Rights. As a general rule, the Debtor anticipates that under most, but not all, circumstances, the New 

Contingent Equity Rights would not be allocated items of taxable income, gain, loss, and deduction prior 

to being “in the money,” but that may not be true in all circumstances. Each item generally will have the 

same character as if the U.S. Holder had realized the item directly. U.S. Holders will be required to report 

these items regardless of the extent to which, or whether, they receive cash distributions from Reorganized 

Propco I for such taxable year, and thus may incur income tax liabilities in excess of any cash distributions 

from Reorganized Propco I. 

A U.S. Holder is allowed to deduct its allocable share of Reorganized Propco I’s losses (if any) 

only to the extent of such Holder’s adjusted tax basis (discussed below) in the New Contingent Equity 

Rights at the end of the taxable year in which the losses occur. In addition, various other limitations in the 

IRC may significantly limit a U.S. Holder’s ability to deduct its allocable share of deductions and losses of 

Reorganized Propco I against other income. 

Reorganized Propco I will provide each U.S. Holder with the necessary information to report its 

allocable share of Reorganized Propco I’s tax items for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, no 

assurance can be given that Reorganized Propco I will be able to provide such information prior to the 

initial due date of the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax return and U.S. Holders may therefore be 

required to apply to the IRS for an extension of time to file their tax returns.

39 

Reorganized Propco I will determine how items will be reported on Reorganized Propco I’s U.S. 

federal income tax returns in accordance with the New Organizational Documents, and all U.S. Holders of 

New Common Stock will be required under the IRC to treat the items consistently on their own returns, 

unless they file a statement with the IRS disclosing the inconsistency. In the event that Reorganized Propco 

I’s income tax returns are audited by the IRS, the tax treatment of Reorganized Propco I’s income, gain, 

loss, and deductions generally will be determined at the Reorganized Propco I level in a single proceeding, 

rather than in individual audits of U.S. Holders of New Contingent Equity Rights. Reorganized Propco I’s 

“partnership representative” will have considerable authority under the IRC and the New Organizational 

Documents to make decisions affecting the tax treatment and procedural rights of the U.S. Holders of New 

Contingent Equity Rights. 

A U.S. Holder of New Contingent Equity Rights generally will not recognize gain or loss on the 

receipt of a distribution of cash or property from Reorganized Propco I (provided that such Holder is not 

treated as exchanging such Holder’s share of Reorganized Propco I’s “unrealized receivables” and/or 

certain “inventory items” (as those terms are defined in the IRC, and together, “ordinary income items”) 

for other partnership property). A U.S. Holder, however, will recognize gain on the receipt of a distribution 

of cash and, in some cases, marketable securities, from Reorganized Propco I (including any constructive 

distribution of money resulting from a reduction of the U.S. Holder’s share of Reorganized Propco I’s 

indebtedness) to the extent such distribution or the fair market value of such marketable securities 

distributed exceeds such Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the New Contingent Equity Rights. Such 

distribution would be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of the New Contingent Equity Rights, which 

is described below. 

A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the New Contingent Equity Rights generally will be equal to 

such Holder’s initial tax basis, increased by the sum of (a) any additional capital contribution such Holder 

makes to Reorganized Propco I; (b) the Holder’s allocable share of the income of Reorganized Propco I; 

and (c) increases in the Holder’s allocable share of Reorganized Propco I’s indebtedness, and reduced, but 

not below zero, by the sum of (a) the Holder’s allocable share of Reorganized Propco I’s losses, and (b) the 

amount of money or the adjusted tax basis of property distributed to such Holder, including constructive 

distributions of cash resulting from reductions in such Holder’s allocable share of Reorganized Propco I’s 

indebtedness. 

A sale of all or part of the New Contingent Equity Rights will result in the recognition of gain or 

loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of the sales proceeds or distribution (including 

any constructive distribution) and such Holder’s adjusted tax basis for the New Contingent Equity Rights 

disposed of. Any gain or loss recognized with respect to such a sale generally will be treated as capital gain 

or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the New Contingent Equity Rights have been held for 

more than one year, except to the extent (a) that the proceeds of the sale are attributable to a Holder’s 

allocable share of certain of Reorganized Propco I’s ordinary income items and such proceeds exceed the 

Holder’s adjusted tax basis attributable to such ordinary income items and (b) of previously allowed bad 

debt or ordinary loss deductions. A U.S. Holder’s ability to deduct any loss recognized on the sale of the 

New Contingent Equity Rights will depend on the Holder’s own circumstances and may be restricted under 

the IRC. 

Reorganized Propco I is expected to derive income that would constitute unrelated business taxable 

income (“UBTI”) for tax-exempt U.S. Holders. Such tax-exempt U.S. Holders should consult their own 

advisors regarding the potentially detrimental consequences of such treatment. 

d. Corporate Holdco Structure. 

Subject to additional disclosure, the following discussion addresses certain considerations that may 

apply if a Corporate Holdco structure is utilized. In such case, the Corporate Holdco would be treated as 

Case 17-34665-KLP Doc 6054 Filed 12/24/18 Entered 12/24/18 16:04:05 Desc Main

 Document Page 46 of 97

40 

corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As such, items of taxable income, gain, loss, and 

deduction of Reorganized Propco I will not flow through the Corporate Holdco to owners of Corporate 

Holdco Equity. 

Any distributions made on account of the Corporate Holdco Equity equity will constitute dividends 

for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent of the current or accumulated earnings and profits of the 

Corporate Holdco Equity as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent that a 

Holder receives distributions that would otherwise constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax 

purposes but that exceed such current and accumulated earnings and profits, such distributions will be 

treated first as a non-taxable return of capital reducing the Holder’s basis in its shares. Any such 

distributions in excess of the Holder’s basis in its shares (determined on a share by share basis) generally 

will be treated as capital gain. 

Dividends paid to U.S. Holders that are corporations generally will be eligible for the dividends 

received deduction so long as there are sufficient earnings and profits. However, the dividends received 

deduction is only available if certain holding period requirements are satisfied. The length of time that a 

shareholder has held its stock is reduced for any period during which the shareholder’s risk of loss with 

respect to the stock is diminished by reason of the existence of certain options, contracts to sell, short sales, 

or similar transactions. In addition, to the extent that a corporation incurs indebtedness that is directly 

attributable to an investment in the stock on which the dividend is paid, all or a portion of the dividends 

received deduction may be disallowed. 

Unless a non-recognition provision applies, Holders generally will recognize capital gain or loss 

upon the sale, redemption, or other disposition of Corporate Holdco Equity. Such capital gain will be long 

term capital gain if at the time of the sale, exchange, retirement, or other disposition, the Holder held the 

Corporate Holdco Equity for more than one year. Long term capital gains of an individual taxpayer 

generally are taxed at preferential rates. 

D. Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders of 

Claims. 

12. Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders of Claims and Interests.

The following discussion includes only certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the 

exchange of Claims for consideration in accordance with the Plan and the subsequent ownership and 

disposition of such consideration to Non-U.S. Holders. The discussion does not include any non-U.S. tax 

considerations. The rules governing the U.S. federal income tax consequences to Non-U.S. Holders are 

complex. Each Non-U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, state, and 

local and the non-U.S. tax consequences of the consummation of the Plan to such Non-U.S. Holder. 

Except as otherwise noted, the following discussion assumes the Direct Holding Structure is 

utilized. 

e. Gain Recognition. 

Whether a Non-U.S. Holder realizes gain or loss on the exchange of Claims under the Plan, or in 

connection with a subsequent exchange of the consideration received under the Plan, is generally 

determined in the same manner as set forth above in connection with U.S. Holders. 

Any gain realized by a Non-U.S. Holder on the exchange of its Claim under the Plan, or in 

connection with an exchange of the consideration received under the Plan, generally will not be subject to 

U.S. federal income taxation unless (i) the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who was present in the United 

Case 17-34665-KLP Doc 6054 Filed 12/24/18 Entered 12/24/18 16:04:05 Desc Main

41 

States for 183 days or more during the taxable year in which the Restructuring Transactions or other 

applicable transactions occur and certain other conditions are met, (ii) such gain is effectively connected 

with the conduct by such non-U.S. Holder of a trade or business in the United States (and if an income tax 

treaty applies, such gain is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by such Non-U.S. Holder 

in the United States), or (iii) any gain is subject to taxation under FIRPTA (as defined and discussed below). 

If the first exception applies, to the extent that any gain is taxable, the Non-U.S. Holder generally 

will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or at a reduced rate or exemption from tax under 

an applicable income tax treaty) on the amount by which such non-U.S. Holder’s capital gains allocable to 

U.S. sources exceed capital losses allocable to U.S. sources during the taxable year of the exchange. If the 

second exception applies, the Non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax with 

respect to any gain realized on the exchange if such gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. 

Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States in the same manner as a U.S. Holder. In order 

to claim an exemption from withholding tax, such Non-U.S. Holder will be required to provide a properly 

executed IRS Form W-8ECI (or such successor form as the IRS designates). In addition, if such a NonU.S. Holder is a corporation, it may be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% (or such lower rate 

provided by an applicable treaty) of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, 

subject to certain adjustments. Importantly, as discussed below, the second exception would be expected 

to apply with respect to any disposition of New Contingent Equity Rights by a Non-U.S. Holder. 

f. Interest Payments; Accrued but Untaxed Interest and OID. 

Payments to a Non-U.S. Holder that are attributable to accrued but untaxed interest on their 

Allowed Claim generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax, provided that the 

withholding agent has received or receives, prior to payment, appropriate documentation (generally, IRS 

Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E) establishing that the Non-U.S. Holder is not a U.S. person, unless: 

(a) the Non-U.S. Holder actually or constructively owns 10% or more of the total combined 

voting power of all classes of the stock or other equity of the Debtor obligor on a Claim (in 

the case of consideration received under the Plan); 

(b) the Non-U.S. Holder is a “controlled foreign corporation” that is a “related person” with 

respect to the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor (each, within the meaning of the IRC); 

(c) the Non-U.S. Holder is not a bank receiving interest described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of 

the IRC; or 

(d) such interest and OID is effectively connected with the conduct by the Non-U.S. Holder of 

a trade or business within the United States (in which case, provided the Non-U.S. Holder 

provides a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form) to the withholding 

agent, the Non-U.S. Holder (x) generally will not be subject to withholding tax, but (y) will 

be subject to U.S. federal income tax in the same manner as a U.S. Holder (unless an 

applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise), and a Non-U.S. Holder that is a 

corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes may also be subject to a branch profits 

tax with respect to such Non-U.S. Holder’s effectively connected earnings and profits that 

are attributable to the accrued but untaxed interest at a rate of 30% (or at a reduced rate or 

exemption from tax under an applicable income tax treaty)). 

A Non-U.S. Holder that does not qualify for exemption from withholding tax with respect to 

accrued but untaxed interest that is not effectively connected income generally will be subject to 

withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate (or at a reduced rate or exemption from tax under an 

applicable income tax treaty) on payments that are attributable to accrued but untaxed interest. For purposes

of providing a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-BEN-E, special procedures are provided under 

applicable Treasury Regulations for payments through qualified foreign intermediaries or certain financial 

institutions that hold customers’ securities in the ordinary course of their trade or business. 

g. Ownership of New Contingent Equity Rights. 

Any income generated by Reorganized Propco I and its subsidiaries that are disregarded entities 

would be expected to give rise to “effectively connected income” (or “ECI”) to Non-U.S. Holders. In such 

case, a Non-U.S. Holder of New Contingent Equity Rights would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on 

its share of such income. A Non-U.S. Holder’s share of ECI would be subject to tax at normal graduated 

U.S. federal income tax rates and, if the Non-U.S. Holder is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax 

purposes, may also be subject to U.S. branch profits tax equal to 30% (or such lower rate provided by an 

applicable income tax treaty) of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, subject 

to certain adjustments. Additionally, some or all of the gain on a disposition of New Contingent Equity 

Rights would be treated as ECI to the extent that such gain is attributable to assets that generate ECI, 

including real estate located in the United States and other U.S. real property interests (as defined in the 

IRC). 

Under section 1446 of the IRC, Reorganized Propco I would be subject to withholding obligations 

with respect to any Non-U.S. Holder of New Contingent Equity Rights, and any purchaser of New 

Contingent Equity Rights would also be subject to withholding requirements. 

In addition to these considerations, Non-U.S. Holders of New Contingent Equity Rights would be 

subject to certain rules under FIRPTA, as described in greater detail below. 

h. Ownership of Corporate Holdco Equity. 

Any non-liquidating distributions made with respect to Corporate Holdco Equity will constitute 

dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent of the issuer’s current or accumulated earnings 

and profits as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent that a Non-U.S. Holder 

receives distributions that would otherwise constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes but 

that exceed such current and accumulated earnings and profits, such distributions will be treated first as a 

non-taxable return of capital reducing the Non-U.S. Holder’s basis in its shares. Any such distributions in 

excess of a Non-U.S. Holder’s basis in its shares (determined on a share-by-share basis) generally will be 

treated as capital gain from a sale or exchange (and the respective excess distributions as proceeds from a 

sale or exchange). Except as described below, dividends paid with respect to Corporate Holdco Equity held 

by a Non-U.S. Holder that are not effectively connected with a Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a U.S. trade 

or business (or if an income tax treaty applies, are not attributable to a permanent establishment maintained 

by such non-U.S. Holder in the United States) will be subject to withholding at a rate of 30% (or lower 

treaty rate or exemption from tax, if applicable). A Non-U.S. Holder generally will be required to satisfy 

certain IRS certification requirements in order to claim a reduction of or exemption from withholding under 

a tax treaty by filing IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or a successor form) upon which the Non-U.S. 

Holder certifies, under penalties of perjury, its status as a non-U.S. person and its entitlement to the lower 

treaty rate or exemption from tax with respect to such payments. Dividends paid with respect to Corporate 

Holdco Equity held by a Non-U.S. Holder that are effectively connected with a Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct 

of a U.S. trade or business (and if an income tax treaty applies, are attributable to a permanent establishment 

maintained by such Non-U.S. Holder in the United States) generally will be subject to U.S. federal income 

tax in the same manner as a U.S. Holder, and a Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal 

income tax purposes may also be subject to a branch profits tax with respect to such Non-U.S. Holder’s 

effectively connected earnings and profits that are attributable to the dividends at a rate of 30% (or at a 

reduced rate or exemption from tax under an applicable income tax treaty). Distributions to a Non-U.S.

43 

Holder treated as capital gain from a sale or exchange may also be subject to taxation under FIRPTA (as 

discussed below). 

Dispositions of Corporate Holdco Equity are expected to be subject to taxation under FIRPTA (as 

discussed below), unless, at the time of such a disposition, the Corporate Holdco does not directly or 

indirectly hold any U.S. real property interests (“USRPIs”) as defined in the IRC, and it had directly or 

indirectly disposed of all of the USRPIs it directly or indirectly owned in one or more fully taxable 

transactions. 

i. FIRPTA. 

Under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (“FIRPTA”), the disposition of certain 

investments in U.S. property is subject to taxation in the hands of Non-U.S. Holders and treated as ECI 

even if a Non-U.S. Holder is not otherwise engaged in a U.S. trade or business. Different rules apply with 

respect to Corporate Holdco Equity, on one hand, and New Contingent Equity Rights, on the other hand. 

With respect to Corporate Holdco Equity equity, rules with respect to U.S. real property holding 

corporations (“USRPHCs”) may apply. In general, a corporation is a USRPHC if the fair market value of 

the corporation’s U.S. real property interests (as defined in the IRC and applicable Treasury Regulations) 

equals or exceeds 50% of the aggregate fair market value of its worldwide real property interests and its 

other assets used or held for use in a trade or business (applying certain look-through rules to evaluate the 

assets of subsidiaries) at any time within the shorter of the 5-year period ending on the effective time of the 

applicable disposition or the period of time the Non-U.S. Holder held such interest. The Debtor currently 

anticipate that the Corporate Holdco Equity would constitute a USRPHC on the Effective Date. Taxable 

gain from the disposition of an interest in a USRPHC (generally equal to the difference between the amount 

realized and such Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such interest) will constitute effectively 

connected income. In general, the FIRPTA provisions will not apply if (a)(i) the Non-U.S. Holder does not 

directly or indirectly own more than 5% of the value of such interest during a specified testing period and 

(ii) such interest is regularly traded on an established securities market, or (b) at the time of such a 

disposition, the corporation does not directly or indirectly hold any USRPIs and it had directly or indirectly 

disposed of all of the USRPIs it directly or indirectly owned in one or more fully taxable transactions. 

Further, the buyer of the Corporate Holdco Equity may be required to withhold a tax equal to 15% of the 

amount realized on the sale. The amount of any such withholding would be allowed as a credit against the 

Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the Non-U.S. Holder to a refund, 

provided that the Non-U.S. Holder properly and timely files a tax return with the IRS. However, in the 

event Corporate Holdco Equity is regularly traded on an established securities market, the withholding 

obligation described above would not apply, even if a Non-U.S. Holder is subject to the substantive FIRPTA 

tax. 

With respect to the New Contingent Equity Rights, the Debtor anticipates that all or substantially 

all of the assets of Reorganized Propco I and its subsidiaries will constitute USRPIs. As such, a disposition 

of assets by Reorganized Propco I and its subsidiaries generally will subject a Non-U.S. Holder of New 

Contingent Equity Rights to taxation as if the ECI rules discussed above applied (even if Reorganized 

Propco I and its subsidiaries were not otherwise determined to be engaged in a U.S. trade or business), and 

certain withholding requirements would also apply. Additionally, the disposition of New Contingent Equity 

Rights would be treated as a disposition of a proportionate share of such USRPIs for purposes of substantive 

FIRPTA taxation as well as withholding requirements. 

j. FATCA. 

Under legislation commonly referred to as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”), 

foreign financial institutions and certain other foreign entities must report certain information with respect

to their U.S. account holders and investors or be subject to withholding at a rate of 30% on the receipt of 

“withholdable payments.” For this purpose, “withholdable payments” are generally U.S. source payments 

of fixed or determinable, annual or periodical income, and also include gross proceeds from the sale of any 

property of a type which can produce U.S. source interest or dividends. FATCA withholding will apply 

even if the applicable payment would not otherwise be subject to U.S. federal nonresident withholding. 

 As currently proposed, FATCA withholding rules would apply to payments of gross 

proceeds from the sale or other disposition of property of a type which can produce U.S. source interest or 

dividends that occur after December 31, 2018. Each Non-U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor 

regarding the possible impact of these rules on such Non-U.S. Holder. 

E. Information Reporting and Back-Up Withholding. 

The Debtor and applicable withholding agents will withhold all amounts required by law to be 

withheld from payments of interest and dividends, whether in connection with distributions under the Plan 

or in connection with payments made on account of consideration received pursuant to the Plan, and will 

comply with all applicable information reporting requirements. The IRS may make the information returns 

reporting such interest and dividends and withholding available to the tax authorities in the country in which 

a Non-U.S. Holder is resident. In general, information reporting requirements may apply to distributions 

or payments under the Plan. Additionally, under the backup withholding rules, a Holder of a Claim may 

be subject to backup withholding (currently at a rate of 24%) with respect to distributions or payments made 

pursuant to the Plan unless that Holder: (a) comes within certain exempt categories (which generally 

include corporations) and, when required, demonstrates that fact; or (b) timely provides a correct taxpayer 

identification number and certifies under penalty of perjury that the taxpayer identification number is 

correct and that the Holder is not subject to backup withholding (generally in the form of a properly 

executed IRS Form W-9 for a U.S. Holder, and, for a Non-U.S. Holder, in the form of a properly executed 

applicable IRS Form W-8 (or otherwise establishes such Non-U.S. Holder’s eligibility for an exemption)). 

Backup withholding is not an additional tax but is, instead, an advance payment that may be refunded to 

the extent it results in an overpayment of tax; provided that the required information is timely provided to 

the IRS. 

In addition, from an information reporting perspective, Treasury Regulations generally require 

disclosure by a taxpayer on its U.S. federal income tax return of certain types of transactions in which the 

taxpayer participated, including, among other types of transactions, certain transactions that result in the 

taxpayer’s claiming a loss in excess of specified thresholds. Holders of Claims subject to the Plan are urged 

to consult their tax advisors regarding these regulations and whether the transactions contemplated by the 

Plan would be subject to these regulations and require disclosure on the Holders’ tax returns.

THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN ARE COMPLEX. 

THE FOREGOING SUMMARY DOES NOT DISCUSS ALL ASPECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL 

INCOME TAXATION THAT MAY BE RELEVANT TO A PARTICULAR HOLDER OF A 

CLAIM IN LIGHT OF SUCH HOLDER’S CIRCUMSTANCES AND INCOME TAX SITUATION. 

ALL HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AGAINST THE DEBTOR SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR TAX 

ADVISORS AS TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE 

TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THE PLAN, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND 

EFFECT OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, OR FOREIGN TAX LAWS, AND OF ANY CHANGE IN 

APPLICABLE TAX LAWS.

XII. RECOMMENDATION 

In the opinion of the Debtor, the Plan is preferable to all other available alternatives and provides 

for a larger distribution to the Debtor’s creditors than would otherwise result in any other scenario. 

Accordingly, the Debtor recommend that holders of Claims entitled to vote on the Plan vote to accept the 

Plan and support Confirmation of the Plan.

INTRODUCTION 

The Debtor proposes the following plan pursuant to chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (together with the 

documents comprising the Plan Supplement, the “Plan”). Capitalized terms used in the Plan and not otherwise defined 

have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Article I.A. 

The Chapter 11 Cases have been consolidated for procedural purposes only and are being jointly administered 

pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court. Reference is made to the Disclosure Statement for a discussion of the 

Debtor’s history, businesses, results of operations, historical financial information, projections, and future operations, 

as well as a summary and analysis of the Plan and certain related matters, including distributions to be made under the 

Plan. The Debtor is a proponent of the Plan contained herein within the meaning of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy 

Code. This Plan is separate from the Propco II Plan,2 the Toys Delaware Plan, and any other plan for any entity or 

entities other than the Debtor. 

ALL HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS, TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE, ARE 

ENCOURAGED TO READ THE PLAN AND THE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT IN THEIR ENTIRETY BEFORE 

VOTING TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PLAN.

other order of the Bankruptcy Court and regardless of whether a fee application has been Filed for such fees and 

expenses. To the extent the Bankruptcy Court denies or reduces by a Final Order any amount of a Professional’s fees 

or expenses, then the amount by which such fees or expenses are reduced or denied shall reduce the applicable Accrued 

Professional Compensation Claim. 

2. “Ad Hoc Group of Term B-4 Lenders” means the ad hoc group of certain holders of Secured Term 

Loan B Credit Facility Claims (as defined in the Toys Delaware Plan) consisting of funds and accounts managed or

above, such Claim shall be considered Allowed only if and to the extent that, with respect to such Claim, no objection 

to the allowance thereof has been interposed within the applicable period of time fixed by the Plan, the Bankruptcy 

Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, or the Bankruptcy Court or such an objection is so interposed and the Claim shall have 

been Allowed by a Final Order. Except as otherwise specified in the Plan, any Final Order, or as otherwise agreed by

ARTICLE II

ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIMS AND PRIORITY TAX CLAIMS 

A. Administrative Claims.

Except with respect to Administrative Claims that are Accrued Professional Compensation Claims and except 

to the extent that an Administrative Claim has already been paid during the Chapter 11 Cases or a Holder of an 

Administrative Claim and the Debtor agree to less favorable treatment, each holder of an Administrative Claim shall 

be paid in full in Cash on the unpaid portion of such Administrative Claim in accordance with the following: (a) on 

or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date if such Administrative Claim is Allowed as of the 

Effective Date; (b) if such Administrative Claim is not Allowed as of the Effective Date, on or as soon as reasonably 

practicable after the date such Administrative Claim is Allowed pursuant to a Final Order; (c) at such time and upon 

such terms as set forth in a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, or (d) if an Allowed Administrative Claim is not due 

and payable as of the Effective Date, the date such Allowed Administrative Claim becomes due and payable in 

accordance with the terms and conditions agreed upon by the Holder of such Allowed Administrative Claim and the 

Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable; provided that Allowed 

Administrative Claims that arise in the ordinary course of the Debtor’s businesses, including Claims held by 

Governmental Units for taxes incurred by the Debtor following the Petition Date (in accordance with section 

503(b)(1)(D) of the Bankruptcy Code), shall be paid in the ordinary course of business in accordance with applicable 

law and the terms and subject to the conditions of any agreements governing, instruments evidencing, or other 

documents relating to such transactions; provided that any Administrative Claim that has been expressly assumed by 

a Purchaser pursuant to Sale Transaction Documents to which it is a party shall not be an obligation of the Debtor. 

Except as otherwise provided in this Article II.A and except with respect to Administrative Claims that are 

Accrued Professional Compensation Claims, requests for payment of (or Proofs of Claim for) Administrative Claims 

must be Filed and served on the Debtor pursuant to the procedures specified in the Confirmation Order and the notice 

of entry of the Confirmation Order no later than the Administrative Claims Bar Date. Holders of Administrative 

Claims that are required to, but do not, File and serve a request for payment of (or Proofs of Claim for) such 

Administrative Claims by such date shall be forever barred, estopped, and enjoined from asserting such Administrative 

Claims against the Debtor or their property and such Administrative Claims shall be deemed discharged, 

compromised, settled, and released as of the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no request for payment 

of an Administrative Claim need be Filed with respect to an Administrative Claim previously Allowed by Final Order. 

Objections to requests for payment of such Administrative Claims, if any, must be Filed and served on the 

requesting party and the Reorganized Debtor by the Administrative Claims Objection Bar Date. After notice and a 

hearing in accordance with the procedures established by the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, and prior 

Bankruptcy Court orders, the Allowed amounts, if any, of Administrative Claims as to which an objection is Filed 

shall be determined by, and satisfied in accordance with, an order that becomes a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court.

B. Accrued Professional Compensation Claims.

1. Professional Fee Escrow Account. 

As soon as reasonably practicable after the Confirmation Date and no later than the Effective Date, the Debtor 

shall establish the Professional Fee Escrow Account. The Debtor shall fund the Professional Fee Escrow Account 

with Cash equal to the Professional Fee Escrow Amount. The Professional Fee Escrow Account shall be funded no 

later than the Effective Date and maintained in trust for the Professionals and members of the Creditors’ Committee 

and shall not be considered property of the Debtor’s Estate or the Reorganized Debtor; provided that the Estate shall 

have a reversionary interest in the excess amount, if any, remaining in the Professional Fee Escrow Account when all 

such Allowed amounts owing to Professionals and members of the Creditors’ Committee have been paid in full, and 

any remaining amount in the Professional Fee Escrow Account shall promptly be transferred to the Estate and shall 

be distributed by the Reorganized Debtor in accordance with the Plan without any further action or order of the 

Bankruptcy Court.

2. Final Fee Applications, Payment of Accrued Professional Compensation Claims, and Payment 

of Accrued Creditors’ Committee Member Expense Claims. 

All final requests for payment of Accrued Professional Compensation Claims incurred during the period from 

the Petition Date through the Confirmation Date, shall be Filed no later than the first Business Day that is 60 days 

following the Effective Date. All Entities’ respective rights (if any) to object to allowance or payment of all or any 

portion of any Accrued Professional Compensation Claims shall be preserved. After notice and a hearing in 

accordance with the procedures established by the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules and prior Bankruptcy Court 

orders, the Allowed amounts of such Accrued Professional Compensation Claims shall be determined by the 

Bankruptcy Court. The amount of Accrued Professional Compensation Claims owing to the Professionals shall be 

paid in Cash to such Professionals from funds held in the Professional Fee Escrow Account when such Claims are 

Allowed by a Final Order. To the extent that funds held in the Professional Fee Escrow Account are unable to satisfy 

the Allowed amount of Accrued Professional Compensation Claims owing to the Professionals, such Professionals 

shall have an Allowed Administrative Claim for any such deficiency, which shall be satisfied in accordance with 

Article II.A of the Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Fee Examiner Order shall remain in 

effect pursuant to its own terms. 

3. Professional Fee Escrow Amount. 

To receive payment for unbilled fees and expenses incurred through the Confirmation Date, the Professionals 

shall estimate their Accrued Professional Compensation Claims before and as of the Confirmation Date and shall 

deliver such estimate to the Debtor no later than 10 days prior to the Effective Date; provided that such estimate shall 

not be considered an admission or limitation with respect to the fees and expenses of such Professional and such 

Professionals are not bound to any extent by the estimates. If a Professional does not provide an estimate, the Debtor 

may estimate the unbilled fees and expenses of such Professional. The total aggregate amount so estimated shall be 

utilized by the Debtor to determine the Professional Fee Escrow Amount; provided that the Reorganized Debtor shall 

use Cash on hand to increase the amount of the Professional Fee Escrow Account to the extent fee applications are 

Filed after the Effective Date in excess of the amount held in the Professional Fee Escrow Account based on such 

estimates. 

4. Post-Confirmation Fees and Expenses. 

Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, from and after the Confirmation Date, the Debtor shall, 

in the ordinary course of business and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy 

Court, pay in Cash the reasonable legal, professional, or other fees and expenses related to implementation and 

Consummation of the Plan incurred by the Debtor. Upon the Confirmation Date, any requirement that Professionals 

comply with sections 327 through 331 and 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code or the Interim Compensation Order in seeking 

retention or compensation for services rendered after such date shall terminate, and the Debtor may employ and pay 

any Professional in the ordinary course of business without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the 

Bankruptcy Court. 

C. Priority Tax Claims.

Except to the extent that a Holder of an Allowed Priority Tax Claim agrees to a less favorable treatment, in 

full and final satisfaction, settlement, release, and discharge of and in exchange for each Allowed Priority Tax Claim, 

each Holder of such Allowed Priority Tax Claim shall be treated in accordance with the terms set forth in section 

1129(a)(9)(C) of the Bankruptcy Code.

ARTICLE IV

MEANS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN 

A. General Settlement of Claims.

As discussed further in the Disclosure Statement and as otherwise provided herein, pursuant to section 1123 

of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019, and in consideration for the classification, distributions, releases, 

and other benefits provided under the Plan, upon the Effective Date, the provisions of the Plan shall constitute a good 

faith compromise and settlement of all Claims, Interests, Causes of Action, and controversies released, settled, 

compromised, or otherwise resolved pursuant to the Plan. The Plan shall be deemed a motion to approve such goodfaith compromise and settlement of all such Claims, Interests, Causes of Action, and controversies pursuant to 

Bankruptcy Rule 9019, and the entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of 

such compromise and settlement under section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019, as well as a 

finding by the Bankruptcy Court that such settlement and compromise is fair, equitable, reasonable, and in the best 

interests of the Debtor and its Estate. Distributions made to holders of Allowed Claims in any Class are intended to 

be final. 

B. Restructuring Transactions.

On or before the Effective Date, the Debtor may take all actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effect 

any transaction described in, approved by, contemplated by, or necessary to effectuate the Plan, the Plan Supplement 

and the Confirmation Order (the “Restructuring Transactions”), including: (1) the execution, filing, and delivery of 

appropriate agreements or other documents of merger, sale, disposition, transfer, consolidation, reorganization, 

restructuring, liquidation, dissolution, or equity issuance, certificates of incorporation, certificates of conversion, 

certificates of formation, operating agreements, bylaws, or other documents containing terms that are consistent with 

or reasonably necessary to implement the terms of the Plan and that satisfy the requirements of applicable law; (2) the 

execution and delivery of appropriate instruments of sale, equity issuance, transfer, assignment, assumption, or 

delegation of any property, right, liability, duty, or obligation on terms consistent with the terms of the Plan; (3) the 

issuance of the New Common Stock (if applicable); (4) the execution of the New Organizational Documents, (5) the

16 

vesting of the Debtor’s assets in the Reorganized Debtor, in each case in accordance with the Plan and the Plan 

Supplement; (6) such other transactions that are necessary or appropriate to implement the Plan in the most tax 

efficient manner, including any mergers, sales, dispositions, transfers, consolidations, restructurings, conversions, 

formations, organizations, dissolutions or liquidations (including the transactions set forth in the Restructuring 

Transactions Memorandum); and (7) all other transactions or actions that either (x) the Debtor or (y) the Reorganized 

Debtor, as applicable, determine are necessary or appropriate to implement the Plan. The Restructuring Transactions 

may include a transfer of all or substantially all or a part of the Debtor’s assets or entities to a newly-formed entity (or 

an affiliate or subsidiary of such entity) formed and controlled by certain holders of Claims against the Debtor and, in 

such case, some or all of the New Common Stock (and/or other interests) issued to holders of Claims pursuant to the 

Plan may comprise stock (and/or other interests) of such new entity (or an affiliate or subsidiary of such entity). 

C. Sources of Consideration for Plan Distributions. 

The Debtor Cash on hand, and any other Cash received or generated by the Debtor shall be used to fund the 

distributions to holders of Allowed Claims against the Debtor in accordance with the treatment of such Claims as set 

forth herein and subject to the terms provided herein. 

D. Issuance of New Common Stock. 

Upon the Effective Date, all Interests in the Debtor shall be cancelled and the New Common Stock may be 

issued as set forth under the Plan. The New Common Stock (if applicable) shall be freely tradable and eligible for the 

book-entry delivery, depository and settlement services of DTC. On the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor shall 

issue all securities, notes, instruments, certificates, and other documents required to be issued pursuant to the Plan. 

On the Effective Date, Holders of New Common Stock (if applicable) shall be parties to certain New 

Organizational Documents. On the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor and the Holders of New Common Stock 

(to the extent applicable) shall enter into and deliver the New Organizational Documents to each Entity that is intended 

to be a party thereto and such New Organizational Documents shall be deemed to be valid, binding, and enforceable 

in accordance with their terms, and each Holder of New Common Stock shall be bound thereby, in each case, without 

the need for execution by any party thereto other than the Reorganized Debtor. 

E. Exemption from Registration Requirements.

The New Common Stock is or may be a security within the meaning of Section 2(a)(1) of the Securities Act, 

Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code and applicable state securities laws. 

The offering, issuance, sale and distribution of all shares of New Common Stock will be exempt from, among 

other things, the registration and prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act or any similar federal, 

state, or local laws in reliance upon section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code to the maximum extent permitted and 

applicable, without further act or action by the Reorganized Debtor. The New Common Stock (a) is not a “restricted 

security” as defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act unless the initial recipient thereof is an entity that is an 

“underwriter” as defined in subsection (b) of section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (b) if such security is not a 

“restricted security” as defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, such security will be freely tradable and 

transferable by the initial recipient thereof if at the time of transfer such initial recipient is not an “affiliate” (as defined 

in Rule 144(a)(1) under the Securities Act) of the Reorganized Debtor and has not been such an “affiliate” within 90 

days of such transfer. 

The Reorganized Debtor need not provide any further evidence to DTC other than the Plan or the 

Confirmation Order with respect to the treatment of securities to be issued under this Plan (including securities issuable 

upon exercise of such securities) under applicable securities laws. 

DTC shall be required to accept and conclusively rely upon the Plan or Confirmation Order in lieu of a legal 

opinion regarding whether such securities are exempt from registration and/or eligible for DTC book-entry delivery, 

settlement, and depository services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, no entity (including, for the 

avoidance of doubt, DTC) may require a legal opinion regarding the validity of any transaction contemplated by the 

Case 17-34665-KLP Doc 6054 Filed 12/24/18 Entered 12/24/18 16:04:05 Desc Main

17 

Plan, including, for the avoidance of doubt, whether the New Common Stock is exempt from registration and/or 

eligible for DTC book-entry delivery, settlement and depository services. 

F. Subordination.

The allowance, classification, and treatment of all Claims and Interests under the Plan conform to and are 

consistent with the respective contractual, legal, and equitable subordination rights of such Claims and Interests, and 

the Plan recognizes and implements any such rights. Pursuant to section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code, except where 

otherwise provided herein, the rights of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, are hereby reserved to 

re-classify any Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest in accordance with any contractual, legal, or equitable 

subordination rights relating thereto upon entry of a Final Order ruling that such Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest 

(or portion thereof) is subordinated. On the Effective Date, any and all subordination rights or obligations that a 

Holder of a Claim or Interest may have with respect to any distribution to be made under the Plan will be discharged 

and terminated, and all actions related to the enforcement of such subordination rights will be enjoined permanently. 

Accordingly, distributions under the Plan to holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests will not be subject to 

turnover or payment to a beneficiary of such terminated subordination rights, or to levy, garnishment, attachment or 

other legal process by a beneficiary of such terminated subordination rights. 

G. Vesting of Assets in the Reorganized Debtor.

Except as otherwise provided herein, or in any agreement, instrument, or other document incorporated in the 

Plan (including, without limitation, the Restructuring Transactions Memorandum), on the Effective Date, all property 

in Debtor’s Estate, including the Reorganized Debtor’s Assets, all Causes of Action, claims, or defenses, and any 

property acquired by any of the Debtor under the Plan shall vest in each respective Reorganized Debtor (excluding 

any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases included on the Schedule of Rejected Executory Contracts and 

Unexpired Leases), free and clear of all Liens, Claims, charges, or other encumbrances. On and after the Effective 

Date, except as otherwise provided herein, each Reorganized Debtor may operate its business and may use, acquire, 

or dispose of property and pursue, compromise or settle any Claims, Interests, or Causes of Action without supervision 

or approval by the Bankruptcy Court and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules, other 

than any restrictions expressly imposed by the Plan, the Plan Supplement, or the Confirmation Order. Notwithstanding 

anything to the contrary in the Plan, the Unimpaired Claims against a Debtor shall remain the obligations solely of the 

Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor and shall not become obligations of any other Debtor or Reorganized Debtor by 

virtue of the Plan, the Chapter 11 Cases, or otherwise. 

H. Cancellation of Securities and Agreements.

On the Effective Date, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Plan, under Article IV.G and IV.H, all 

notes, instruments, Certificates, and other documents evidencing, or in anyway related to, Claims or Interests shall be 

canceled and the obligations of the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor thereunder or in any way related thereto shall be 

released, settled, and compromised.

I. Corporate Action.

On the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, all actions as may be necessary or 

appropriate to effect any transactions described in, approved by, contemplated by, or necessary to effectuate the 

Restructuring Transactions shall be deemed authorized and approved by the Bankruptcy Court in all respects, 

including, as applicable: (a) the adoption, execution, delivery and/or filing of the New Organizational Documents, 

(b) the selection of the directors, managers, and officers for the Reorganized Debtor, including the appointment of the 

New Board, in accordance with the terms of the Plan; (c) the authorization, issuance, delivery and distribution of New 

Common Stock; (d) the rejection, assumption, or assumption and assignment, as applicable, of Executory Contracts 

and Unexpired Leases; and (e) all other actions that may be required by applicable law. Upon the Effective Date, all 

matters provided for in the Plan involving the corporate structure the Reorganized Debtor, and any corporate action 

required by the Debtor, or the Reorganized Debtor in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have occurred and 

shall be in effect, without any requirement of further action by the security holders, directors, or officers of the Debtor 

or the Reorganized Debtor. On or before the Effective Date (as applicable), the appropriate officers of the Debtor or 

the Reorganized Debtor shall be authorized and (as applicable) directed to issue, execute, and deliver the agreements,

documents, securities, and instruments contemplated by the Plan (or necessary or desirable to effectuate the 

Restructuring Transactions) in the name of and on behalf of the Reorganized Debtor, including and any and all other 

agreements, documents, Securities, and instruments relating to the foregoing, to the extent not previously authorized 

by the Bankruptcy Court. The authorizations and approvals contemplated by this Article IV.M shall be effective 

notwithstanding any requirements under non-bankruptcy law. 

J. Corporate Existence; Tax Classification. 

As noted above, Holders of Class 3 Claims will directly or indirectly receive the New Contingent Equity 

Rights, which constitute Interests in Propco I. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or any agreement, instrument, 

or other document incorporated in the Plan or the Plan Supplement, on the Effective Date, Reorganized Propco I and 

the Reorganized Propco I Subsidiaries shall continue to exist as separate limited liability companies, with all the 

powers of a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or other form of Entity, as the case may be, pursuant 

to the applicable law in the jurisdiction in which each Debtor is incorporated or formed and pursuant to the respective 

certificate of incorporation and by-laws (or other analogous formation documents) in effect before the Effective Date, 

except to the extent such certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other analogous formation documents) are 

amended or amended and restated by the Plan (including pursuant to the provisions of Article IV.K of the Plan), the 

New Organizational Documents, or otherwise, and to the extent such documents are amended or amended and restated, 

such documents are deemed to be amended or amended and restated pursuant to the Plan and require no further action 

or approval (other than any requisite filings required under applicable state, provincial, or federal law). Subject to the 

Restructuring Transactions Memorandum, Reorganized Propco I will be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal 

income (and applicable state and local) tax purposes, and the Reorganized Propco I Subsidiaries will be treated as 

disregarded entities of Reorganized Propco I for U.S. federal income (and applicable state and local) tax purposes; 

provided that, on or before the Effective Date and at the option of the Creditors’ Committee, the Propco I Debtors will 

(and will cause their affiliates to) take any actions necessary to cause Reorganized Propco I and/or one or more of the 

Reorganized Propco I Subsidiaries to be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income (and applicable state and 

local) tax purposes effective as of prior to the actual or constructive receipt of any consideration under this Plan, 

including by executing and filing one or more IRS Forms 8832 (and analogous forms for applicable state and local 

tax purposes). 

To the extent the New Common Stock is issued, the tax classification of the entity issuing the New Common 

Stock will be specified in the Restructuring Transactions Memorandum. 

K. Charter, Bylaws, and New Organizational Documents. 

On the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, to the extent applicable, the Debtor’s 

respective certificates of incorporation and bylaws (and other formation and constituent documents relating to limited 

liability companies) shall be amended or amended and restated as may be required to be consistent with the provisions 

of the Plan, the New Organizational Documents, and any other documents required to complete the Restructuring 

Transactions, as applicable, and the Bankruptcy Code. The New Organizational Documents shall, among other things: 

(a) authorize the issuance of the New Common Stock; and (b) be modified or deemed to be modified to include a 

provision pursuant to and only to the extent required by section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code, prohibiting the 

issuance of non-voting equity Securities. After the Effective Date, each Reorganized Debtor may amend and restate 

its certificate of incorporation and other formation and constituent documents as permitted by the laws of its respective 

jurisdiction of formation and the terms of such documents. 

L. Effectuating Documents; Further Transactions.

Prior to the Effective Date, the Debtor, and on and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor, in each 

case to the extent applicable, and the officers and members thereof are authorized to and may issue, execute, deliver, 

file, or record such contracts, securities, instruments, releases, and other agreements or documents and take such 

actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, implement, and further evidence the terms and conditions of 

the Plan, without the need for any approvals, authorization, or consents except for those expressly required pursuant 

to the Plan.

M. Exemption from Certain Taxes and Fees.

Pursuant to section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, any transfers of property or any Interests pursuant to 

the Plan, including the recording of any amendments to such transfers, or any new mortgages or liens placed on the 

property in connection with such transfers, shall not be subject to any document recording tax, stamp tax, conveyance 

fee, intangibles or similar tax, mortgage tax, stamp act, real estate transfer tax, mortgage recording tax, or other similar 

tax or governmental assessment, and upon entry of the Confirmation Order, the appropriate state or local governmental 

officials or agents shall forgo the collection of any such tax or governmental assessment and accept for filing and 

recordation any of the foregoing instruments or other documents without the payment of any such tax, recordation 

fee, or governmental assessment. 

N. Directors and Officers. 

To the extent applicable, the members of the New Board shall be identified prior to the Confirmation Hearing 

in the Plan Supplement or at the Confirmation Hearing consistent with section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code. 

On the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided in the Plan Supplement or announced on the record at the 

Confirmation Hearing, the existing officers of the Debtor shall serve in their current capacities for the Reorganized 

Debtor. From and after the Effective Date, each director, officer, or manager of the Reorganized Debtor shall serve 

pursuant to the terms of the respective Reorganized Debtor’s charters and bylaws or other formation and constituent 

documents, and applicable laws of the respective Reorganized Debtor’s jurisdiction of formation. 

O. Retention of Causes of Action.

Unless any Cause of Action against an Entity is expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, 

compromised, or settled in the Plan or a Final Order such that the Debtor retain no right or interest in such Cause of 

Action as of the Effective Date, in accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtor shall reserve, 

retain, and may enforce, all rights to commence, prosecute or settle, as appropriate, any and all Causes of Action, 

whether arising or accruing before or after the Petition Date, which authority shall vest in the Reorganized Debtor on 

the Effective Date pursuant to the terms of the Plan. The Reorganized Debtor may enforce all rights to commence, 

prosecute, or settle, as appropriate, any and all such Causes of Action, whether arising or accruing before or after the 

Petition Date, and the Reorganized Debtor’s rights to commence, prosecute, or settle such Causes of Action shall be 

preserved notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date. Any Reorganized Debtor may, in its reasonable 

business judgment, pursue such Causes of Action and may retain and compensate professionals in the analysis or 

pursuit of such Causes of Action to the extent the Reorganized Debtor deems appropriate, including on a contingency 

fee basis. 

No Entity may rely on the absence of a specific reference in the Plan or the Disclosure Statement to 

any Cause of Action against them as any indication that the Debtor, or the Reorganized Debtor will not pursue 

any and all available Causes of Action against them. The Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor expressly reserve 

all rights to prosecute any and all Causes of Action against any Entity, except as otherwise expressly provided 

in the Plan. Unless any Cause of Action against an Entity is expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, 

compromised, or settled in the Plan or a Final Order such that the Debtor hold no right or interest in such Cause of 

Action as of the Effective Date, the Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor expressly reserve all Causes of Action for 

later adjudication, and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine, including the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, 

issue preclusion, claim preclusion, estoppel (judicial, equitable or otherwise), or laches, shall apply to such Causes of 

Action upon, after, or as a consequence of the Confirmation or Consummation. The Reorganized Debtor reserve and 

shall retain the foregoing Causes of Action notwithstanding the rejection of any Executory Contract or Unexpired 

Lease during the Chapter 11 Cases or pursuant to the Plan. The Reorganized Debtor shall have the exclusive right, 

authority, and discretion to determine and to initiate, file, prosecute, enforce, abandon, settle, compromise, release, 

withdraw, or litigate to judgment any such Causes of Action, or to decline to do any of the foregoing, without the 

consent or approval of any third party or any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. 

P. Avoidance Actions.

As of the Effective Date, the Debtor waives all rights to commence or otherwise pursue any and all Avoidance 

Actions arising under section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable “preference” action arising under 

Case 17-34665-KLP Doc 6054 Filed 12/24/18 Entered 12/24/18 16:04:05 Desc Main

applicable non-bankruptcy law, provided that, (i) neither the Debtor nor the Reorganized Debtor waive any rights to 

commence or pursue any Avoidance Actions against the TRU Retail Debtors or any Former Debtors; and (ii) except 

as expressly provided in the Plan, the Reorganized Debtor shall retain the right to assert any Causes of Action 

assertable in any Avoidance Action as defenses or counterclaims in any Cause of Action brought by any Entity. 

Q. Regulatory Requirements 

All parties shall abide by, and use their reasonable best efforts to obtain, any regulatory and licensing 

requirements or approvals as promptly as practicable to achieve Consummation. 

R. Insurance Contracts. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Disclosure Statement, the Plan, the Plan Supplement, the 

Confirmation Order, any bar date notice or claim objection, any other document related to any of the foregoing or any 

other order of the Bankruptcy Court in the Chapter 11 Cases (including any other provision that purports to be 

preemptory or supervening, grants an injunction or release, or requires a party to opt out of any releases): (i) on and 

after the Effective Date, nothing shall alter, amend or otherwise modify the terms and conditions of (or the coverage 

provided by) any of the Insurance Contracts except that the Reorganized Debtor shall be liable in full for all of its and 

the Debtor’s obligations thereunder regardless of whether such obligations arise before or after the Effective Date, 

without the requirement or need for the Insurer to file a proof of claim, an Administrative Claim, a Cure Claim or 

object to any cure amount, provided that any and all rights of the Debtor to dispute such payments or reimbursements 

are expressly reserved; (ii) nothing shall permit or otherwise effect a sale, an assignment or any other transfer of any 

Insurance Contract that has been issued by ACE American Insurance Company, Federal Insurance Company, or any 

of their affiliates or successors (together, “Chubb Companies”) at any time to (or which provide coverage to) any of 

the Debtor (or any of their Affiliates or any of their predecessors), and all agreements, documents or instruments 

relating thereto (collectively, the “Chubb Insurance Contracts”) and/or any rights, benefits, claims, rights to payments, 

or recoveries under or relating to the Chubb Insurance Contracts without the express written consent of the Chubb 

Companies; and (iii) nothing shall permit or otherwise effect a sale, an assignment or any other transfer of any 

Insurance Contract that has been issued by Zurich American Insurance Company, American Zurich Insurance 

Company, Steadfast Insurance Company, or any of their affiliates or successors (together, “Zurich”) at any time to (or 

which provide coverage to) the Debtor (or any of their Affiliates or any of their predecessors), and all agreements, 

documents or instruments relating thereto (collectively, the “Zurich Insurance Contracts”) and/or any rights, benefits, 

claims, rights to payments, or recoveries under or relating to the Zurich Insurance Contracts without the express written 

consent of Zurich. For the avoidance of doubt, any such rights and obligations shall be determined under the Insurance 

Contracts and applicable non-bankruptcy law. 

ARTICLE V

TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES 

A. Assumption and Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. 

On the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided herein, each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease 

not previously rejected, assumed, or assumed and assigned, including, without limitation, any employee benefit plans, 

severance plans, and other Executory Contracts under which employee obligations arise, shall be deemed 

automatically rejected pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, unless such Executory Contract or 

Unexpired Lease: (1) is specifically described in the Plan as to be assumed in connection with Confirmation of the 

Plan, or is specifically scheduled to be assumed or assumed and assigned pursuant to the Plan or the Plan Supplement; 

(2) is subject to a pending motion to assume such Unexpired Lease or Executory Contract as of the Effective Date; 

(3) is to be assumed or assumed and assigned to a third party, as applicable, in connection with any Sale Transaction; 

(4) is a contract, instrument, release, indenture, or other agreement or document entered into in connection with the 

Plan; or (5) is an Insurance Contract. Entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute 

approval of such assumptions, assignments, and rejections, including the assumption of the Executory Contracts or 

Unexpired Leases as provided in the Plan Supplement, pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. 

Unless otherwise indicated, assumptions or rejections of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases pursuant to the 

Plan are effective as of the Effective Date. Any motions to assume Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases pending 

Case 17-34665-KLP Doc 6054 Filed 12/24/18 Entered 12/24/18 16:04:05 Desc Main

on the Effective Date shall be subject to approval by a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court on or after the Effective 

Date. 

B. Claims Based on Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.

Proofs of Claim with respect to Claims arising from the rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired 

Leases, if any, must be Filed with the Bankruptcy Court by the later of: (1) the Claims Bar Date, Administrative 

Claims Bar Date, or the Governmental Bar Date, as applicable; and (2) 4:00 p.m., prevailing Eastern Time, on the date 

that is thirty (30) days following the entry of an Order of the Bankruptcy Court (including the Confirmation Order) 

approving such rejection. Any Claims arising from the rejection of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease not 

Filed within such time shall be automatically Disallowed, forever barred from assertion, and shall not be enforceable 

against, as applicable, the Debtor, its Estate, the Reorganized Debtor, or property of the foregoing parties, without the 

need for any objection by the Debtor, its Estate, the Reorganized Debtor and without the need for any further notice 

to, or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. Claims arising from the rejection of the Debtor’s Executory 

Contracts or Unexpired Leases shall be classified as General Unsecured Claims and shall be treated in accordance 

with Article III of the Plan, as applicable. 

C. Cure of Defaults for Assumed and Assigned Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.

Any Cure Claims under each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to be assumed pursuant to the Plan 

shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the Cure Claim in Cash on the 

Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, subject to the limitations described below, by the Debtor 

as an Administrative Claim, or on such other terms as the parties to such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases 

may otherwise agree. In the event of a dispute regarding (1) the amount of the Cure Claim, (2) the ability of the 

Debtor’s Estate or any assignee to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” (within the meaning of section 

365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to be assumed, or (3) any other matter 

pertaining to assumption, the Cure Claims required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be satisfied 

following the entry of a Final Order or Orders resolving the dispute and approving the assumption. 

Unless otherwise provided by an Order of the Bankruptcy Court, at least seven (7) days before the Voting 

Deadline, the Debtor shall cause notice of proposed assumption and proposed Cure Claims to be sent to applicable 

counterparties. Any objection by such counterparty must be Filed, served, and actually received by the Debtor not 

later than seven days after service of notice of the Debtor’s proposed assumption and associated Cure Claims. Any 

counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that fails to object timely to the proposed assumption or 

cure amount will be deemed to have assented to such assumption or Cure Claim. 

Assumption (or assumption and assignment) of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the 

Plan or otherwise shall result in the full release and satisfaction of any Claims or defaults, subject to satisfaction of 

the Cure Claims, whether monetary or nonmonetary, including defaults of provisions restricting the change in control 

or ownership interest composition, restricting use or tenant mix, or other bankruptcy-related defaults, including, 

without limitation, violation of go-dark or cessation of operation provisions or other provisions which seek to condition 

or restrict the use or assignment of an Unexpired Lease, arising under any assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired 

Lease at any time before the effective date of assumption and/or assignment. Any provisions in any lease or other 

conveyance document that prohibits or conditions the assignment of an Unexpired Lease or allows the landlord or 

other counterparty, as applicable, to terminate, recapture, or impose any penalty upon assignment of any such 

Unexpired Lease, or as a result of a closure or failure to operate in the premises, are deemed by this Plan to be 

unenforceable anti-assignment provisions that are void and of no force and effect. Any liabilities reflected in the 

Schedules and any Proofs of Claim Filed with respect to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that has 

been assumed and assigned shall be deemed Disallowed and expunged, without further notice to or action, 

order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court or any other Entity. 

D. Preexisting Obligations to the Debtor Under Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.

Rejection or repudiation of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise 

shall not constitute a termination of preexisting obligations owed to the Debtor under such contracts or leases as 

modified, amended, supplemented, or restated. In particular, notwithstanding any non-bankruptcy law to the contrary, 

Case 17-34665-KLP Doc 6054 Filed 12/24/18 Entered 12/24/18 16:04:05 Desc Main

22 

to the extent applicable, the Reorganized Debtor expressly reserves and does not waive any right to receive, or any 

continuing obligation of a counterparty to provide, warranties or continued maintenance obligations on goods 

previously purchased, or services previously received, by the contracting Debtors from counterparties to rejected or 

repudiated Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases. 

E. D&O Liability Insurance Policies.

On the Effective Date, the Debtor shall assume all of the D&O Liability Insurance Policies pursuant to section 

365 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, subject to the Debtor’s rights to seek amendment to such D&O Liability 

Insurance Policies. Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the Debtor’s 

foregoing assumption of each of the D&O Liability Insurance Policies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary 

contained in the Plan, Confirmation shall not discharge, impair, or otherwise modify any obligations assumed by the 

foregoing assumption of the D&O Liability Insurance Policies, and each such obligation shall be deemed and treated 

as an Executory Contract that has been assumed by the Debtor under the Plan as to which no Proof of Claim need be 

Filed. 

F. Indemnification Obligations. 

To the extent applicable, the Debtor and Reorganized Debtor shall assume the Indemnification Obligations 

for the Debtor’s current and former directors, officers, managers, and employees, and current attorneys, accountants, 

investment bankers, and other professionals of the Debtor, to the extent consistent with applicable law, and such 

Indemnification Obligations shall not be modified, reduced, discharged, impaired, or otherwise affected in any way, 

and shall survive Unimpaired and unaffected, irrespective of when such obligation arose. 

G. Modifications, Amendments, Supplements, Restatements, or Other Agreements.

Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, each assumed and assigned Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease 

shall include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements that in any manner affect 

such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, and all Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases related thereto, if 

any, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, and any 

other interests, unless any of the foregoing agreements have been previously rejected or repudiated or is rejected or 

repudiated under the Plan. 

Modifications, amendments, supplements, and restatements to prepetition Executory Contracts and 

Unexpired Leases that have been executed by the Debtor during the Chapter 11 Cases shall not be deemed to alter the 

prepetition nature of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, or the validity, priority, or amount of any Claims 

that may arise in connection therewith, unless such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease was assumed by the Debtor 

and approved by the Bankruptcy Court. 

H. Reservation of Rights.

Neither the exclusion nor inclusion of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease on the list of Executory 

Contracts and Unexpired Leases to be assumed pursuant to the Plan contained in the Plan Supplement, nor anything 

else in the Plan shall constitute an admission by the Debtor or any other Entity, as applicable, that any such contract 

or lease is in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that either any Debtor or any other Entity, as applicable, 

has any liability thereunder. 

I. Nonoccurrence of Effective Date. 

In the event that the Effective Date does not occur, the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction with respect 

to any request to extend the deadline for assuming or rejecting Unexpired Leases pursuant to section 365(d)(4) of the 

Bankruptcy Code, unless such deadline(s) have expired.

ARTICLE VI

PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS 

A. Timing and Calculation of Amounts to Be Distributed.

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, on the Effective Date (or if a Claim or Interest is not an Allowed 

Claim or Allowed Interest on the Effective Date, on the date that such a Claim or Interest becomes an Allowed Claim 

or Allowed Interest, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter), each Holder of an Allowed Claim against or 

Allowed Interest in the Debtor shall receive the full amount of the distributions that the Plan provides for Allowed 

Claims or Allowed Interests in the applicable Class as applicable; provided that the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as 

applicable, will use reasonable commercial efforts to make distributions to holders of General Unsecured Claims that 

are Allowed as of the Effective Date within sixty (60) days of the Effective Date. In the event that any payment or 

act under the Plan is required to be made or performed on a date that is not a Business Day, then the making of such 

payment or the performance of such act may be completed on the next succeeding Business Day, but shall be deemed 

to have been completed as of the required date. If and to the extent that there are Disputed Claims or Disputed 

Interests, distributions on account of any such Disputed Claims or Disputed Interests shall be made pursuant to the 

provisions set forth in Article VII of the Plan. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, holders of Claims or Interests 

shall not be entitled to interest, dividends, or accruals on the distributions provided for in the Plan, regardless of 

whether such distributions are delivered on or at any time after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything to the 

contrary herein, no holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest shall, on account of such Allowed Claim or 

Allowed Interest, receive a distribution in excess of the Allowed amount of such Claim or Interest payable in 

accordance with the Plan or other Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court. 

B. Disbursing Agent. 

All distributions under the Plan shall be made by the Disbursing Agent. The Disbursing Agent shall not be 

required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of its duties unless otherwise ordered by the 

Bankruptcy Court. Additionally, in the event that the Disbursing Agent is so otherwise ordered, all costs and expenses 

of procuring any such bond or surety shall be borne by the Disbursing Agent. 

Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Disbursing Agent shall be empowered to: (1) effect all actions and 

execute all agreements, instruments, and other documents necessary to perform its duties under the Plan; (2) make all 

distributions contemplated under the Plan; (3) employ professionals to represent it with respect to its responsibilities; 

(4) object to or otherwise resolve any General Unsecured Claim, Priority Claim, or Other Secured Claim, subject to 

the terms hereof; and (5) exercise such other powers as may be vested in the Reorganized Debtor by order of the 

Bankruptcy Court, pursuant to the Plan, or as deemed by the Disbursing Agent to be necessary and proper to implement 

the provisions of the Plan. 

C. Distributions on Account of Claims Allowed After the Effective Date.

1. Payments and Distributions on Disputed Claims. 

Distributions made after the Effective Date to Holders of Disputed Claims that are not Allowed Claims as of 

the Effective Date but which later become Allowed Claims shall be deemed to have been made on the Effective Date. 

2. Special Rules for Distributions to Holders of Disputed Claims. 

Notwithstanding any provision otherwise in the Plan and except as may be agreed to by the Debtor or the 

Reorganized Debtor, on the one hand, and the holder of a Disputed Claim, on the other hand, no partial payments and 

no partial distributions shall be made with respect to any Disputed Claim until all Disputed Claims held by the holder 

of such Disputed Claim have become Allowed Claims or have otherwise been resolved by settlement or Final Order.

D. Delivery of Distributions and Undeliverable or Unclaimed Distributions.

1. Record Date for Distribution. 

On the Distribution Record Date, the Claims Register shall be closed and the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, 

or any other party responsible for making distributions shall instead be authorized and entitled to recognize only those 

record holders listed on the Claims Register as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date. 

2. Delivery of Distributions in General. 

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Debtor shall make distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims and 

Allowed Interests as of the Distribution Record Date at the address for each such Holder as indicated on the Debtor’s 

records as of the date of any such distribution; provided, however, that the manner of such distributions shall be 

determined at the discretion of the Debtor; provided further, however, that the address for each Holder of an Allowed 

Claim shall be deemed to be the address set forth in any Proof of Claim Filed by that Holder. If a Holder holds more 

than one Claim in any one Class, all Claims of the Holder will be aggregated into one Claim and one distribution will 

be made with respect to the aggregated Claim. 

3. Minimum; De Minimis Distributions. 

No Cash payment of less than $50.00, in the reasonable discretion of the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as 

applicable, shall be made to a Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest on account of such Allowed Claim or 

Allowed Interest. 

4. Undeliverable Distributions and Unclaimed Property. 

In the event that any notice or distribution to any holder is returned as undeliverable, no such notice of 

distribution to such holder shall be made unless and until the Reorganized Debtor have determined the then current 

address of such holder, at which time such notice or distribution shall be made to such holder without interest; provided

that such notice or distribution shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code at 

the expiration of six (6) months from the date of the attempted distribution to the holder. After such date, all unclaimed 

property or interests in property shall revert to the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor for the benefit of other Allowed 

Claims in accordance with the terms of the Plan, and the Claim of any holder to such property or interest in property 

shall be released, settled, compromised, and forever barred. 

5. Manner of Payment Pursuant to the Plan. 

Any payment in Cash to be made pursuant to the Plan shall be made at the election of the Debtor or 

Reorganized Debtor by check or by wire transfer, at the sole and exclusive discretion of the Debtor or Reorganized 

Debtor 

E. Compliance with Tax Requirements/Allocations.

In connection with the Plan, to the extent applicable, the Debtor, Reorganized Debtor, and other withholding 

agents shall comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on it by any Governmental Unit, 

and all distributions pursuant hereto shall be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements. Notwithstanding 

any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the Debtor, Reorganized Debtor, and other withholding agents shall be 

authorized to take all actions necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements, 

including liquidating a portion of the distribution to be made under the Plan to generate sufficient funds to pay 

applicable withholding taxes, withholding distributions pending receipt of information necessary to facilitate such 

distributions, or establishing any other mechanisms they believe are reasonable and appropriate 

Distributions in respect of Allowed Claims shall be allocated first to the principal amount of such Claims (as 

determined for federal income tax purposes) and then, to the extent the consideration exceeds the principal amount of 

the Claims, to any portion of such Claims for accrued but unpaid interest.

To the extent any subrogation claim is deemed to arise against Toys “R” Us Delaware Inc. or any of its direct 

or indirect subsidiaries as a result of any distribution made under the Plan, such subrogation claim will be treated as 

having been immediately cancelled for no consideration, rather than being distributed to Toys “R” Us, Inc. and then 

contributed to Toys “R” Us Delaware Inc. or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries. 

F. No Postpetition Interest on Claims. 

Unless otherwise specifically provided for in an order of the Bankruptcy Court, the Plan, the Confirmation 

Order, or documents executed as required by this Plan, or required by applicable bankruptcy law, postpetition interest 

shall not accrue or be paid on any Claims or Interests and no Holder of a Claim or Interest shall be entitled to interest 

accruing on or after the Petition Date on any such Claim. 

G. Setoffs and Recoupment.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Debtor may, but shall not be required to, setoff against or 

recoup from any Claims of any nature whatsoever that the Debtor may have against any Holder, but neither the failure 

to do so nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by the Debtor of any such 

Claim, Cause of Action, or legal or equitable defense it may have against the Holder. 

H. Claims Paid or Payable by Third Parties.

1. Claims Paid by Third Parties. 

The Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, shall be authorized to reduce in full a Claim, and such 

Claim shall be Disallowed without a Claims objection having to be Filed and without any further notice to or action, 

Order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, to the extent that the holder of such Claim receives payment in full on 

account of such Claim from a party that is not a Debtor, as applicable, including on account of recourse to collateral 

held by third parties that secure such Claim. To the extent a holder of a Claim receives a distribution on account of 

such Claim and receives payment from a party that is not a Debtor or Reorganized Debtor on account of such Claim, 

such holder shall, within 14 days of receipt thereof, repay or return the distribution to the Debtor or Reorganized 

Debtor, to the extent the holder’s total recovery on account of such Claim from the third party and under the Plan 

exceeds the amount of such Claim as of the date of any such distribution under the Plan. The failure of such holder 

to timely repay or return such distribution shall result in the holder owing the Debtor annualized interest at the 

Federal Judgment Rate on such amount owed for each Business Day after the 14-day grace period specified above 

until the amount is repaid. 

2. Claims Payable by Third Parties. 

No distributions under the Plan shall be made on account of a Claim that is payable pursuant to one of the 

Debtor’s Insurance Contracts, surety agreements, other non-Debtor payment agreements, or collateral held by a third 

party, until the holder of such Claim has exhausted all remedies with respect to such Insurance Contract, surety 

agreement, other non-Debtor payment agreement, or collateral, as applicable. To the extent that one or more of the 

Debtor’s Insurers, sureties, or non-Debtor payors pays or satisfies a Claim in full or in part (if and to the extent 

adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise settled), or such collateral or proceeds from such 

collateral is used to satisfy such Claim, then immediately upon such satisfaction, the applicable portion of such Claim 

shall be expunged without a Claim objection having to be Filed and without any further notice to or action, Order, or 

approval of the Bankruptcy Court. 

3. Applicability of Insurance Contracts. 

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, distributions to holders of Claims covered by an Insurance Contract 

shall be in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Insurance Contract. Nothing contained in the Plan shall 

constitute or be deemed a waiver of any Cause of Action that the Debtor or any Entity may hold against any other 

Entity, including Insurers under any Insurance Contract, nor shall anything contained herein constitute or be deemed 

a waiver by Insurers of any rights or defenses, including coverage defenses, held by such Insurers.

I. Indefeasible Distributions. 

Any and all distributions made under the Plan shall be indefeasible and not subject to clawback. 

J. Distributions on Account of Subordinated Claims. 

The allowance, classification, and treatment of all Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests and the respective 

distributions on account thereof take into account and conform to the relative priority and rights of the Claims and 

Interests in each Class in connection with any contractual, legal, and equitable subordination rights relating thereto, 

whether arising under general principles of equitable subordination, section 510(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, or 

otherwise. Pursuant to section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtor reserve the right to re-classify any Allowed 

Claim in accordance with any contractual, legal, or equitable subordination relating thereto. Notwithstanding the 

foregoing, the Plan shall be without prejudice to the contractual, legal, or equitable subordination rights (if any) in 

favor of any holder of any Allowed Claim, and any holder of any Allowed Claim (if any) subject to any such 

contractual, legal, or equitable subordination shall remit any distribution on account of such Claim to which such 

holder’s Claim is subordinated in accordance with and to the extent required under any applicable contractual, legal, 

or equitable subordination obligation 

ARTICLE VII

PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING CONTINGENT, 

UNLIQUIDATED, AND DISPUTED CLAIMS 

A. Allowance of Claims and Interests. 

The Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, shall have and shall retain any and all rights and legal 

or equitable defenses that the Debtor had with respect to any Claim or Interest immediately before the Effective Date. 

Except as expressly provided in the Plan or in any Order entered in the Chapter 11 Cases prior to the Effective Date 

(including the Confirmation Order), no Claim or Interest shall become an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest unless 

and until such Claim or Interest is deemed Allowed pursuant to the Plan or the Bankruptcy Code or a Final Order, 

including the Confirmation Order (when it becomes a Final Order), allowing such Claim. 

B. Claims and Interests Administration Responsibilities. 

Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan and notwithstanding any requirements that may be 

imposed pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, on and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor shall have the 

sole authority (subject to any party in interest’s right to object to a Claim or Interest under section 502(a) of the 

Bankruptcy Code): (1) to File, withdraw, or litigate to judgment objections to Disputed Claims or Disputed Interests; 

(2) to settle or compromise any Disputed Claim or Disputed Interest without any further notice to or action, Order, or 

approval by the Bankruptcy Court; and (3) to administer and adjust the Claims Register to reflect any such settlements 

or compromises without any further notice to or action, Order, or approval by the Bankruptcy Court. 

C. Estimation of Claims and Interests.

Prior to and on the Effective Date, the Debtor, and, after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor, may 

(but are not required to), at any time, request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate: (1) any Disputed Claim or Disputed 

Interest pursuant to applicable law; and (2) any Claim pursuant to applicable law, including, without limitation, section 

502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, regardless of whether any party previously has objected to such Claim or Interest, or 

whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection, the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to 

estimate any such Claim or Interest, including during the litigation of any objection to any Claim or Interest or during 

the appeal relating to such objection. Notwithstanding any provision otherwise in the Plan, a Claim that has been 

expunged from the Claims Register but that is subject to appeal or has not been the subject of a Final Order, shall be 

deemed to be estimated at zero dollars, unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. In the event that the 

Bankruptcy Court estimates any Claim or Interest, that estimated amount shall constitute either the Allowed amount 

of such Claim or Interest or a maximum limitation on such Claim or Interest for all purposes under the Plan, including 

for purposes of distributions, and the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, may elect to pursue additional

27 

objections to the ultimate distribution on such Claim or Interest. If the estimated amount constitutes a maximum 

limitation on such Claim or Interest, the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, may elect to pursue any 

supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate distribution on account of such Claim or Interest. Notwithstanding 

section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, in no event shall any holder of a Claim that has been estimated pursuant to 

section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise be entitled to seek reconsideration of such estimation unless such 

holder has Filed a motion requesting the right to seek such reconsideration on or before seven (7) days after the date 

on which such Claim is estimated. All of the aforementioned Claims and Interests and objection, estimation, and 

resolution procedures are cumulative and not exclusive of one another. Claims and Interests may be estimated and 

subsequently compromised, settled, withdrawn, or resolved by any mechanism approved by the Bankruptcy Court. 

D. Adjustment to Claims or Interests without Objection. 

Any Claim or Interest that has been paid or satisfied, or any Claim or Interest that has been amended or 

superseded, may be adjusted or expunged on the Claims Register by the Reorganized Debtor without a Claims 

objection having to be Filed and without any further notice to or action, Order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. 

E. Time to File Objections to Claims. 

Any objections to Claims shall be Filed on or before the Claims Objection Bar Date. 

F. Disallowance of Claims.

Any Claims or Interests held by Entities from which property is recoverable under sections 542, 543, 550, or 

553 of the Bankruptcy Code, or that are a transferee of a transfer avoidable under sections 522(f), 522(h), 544, 545, 

547, 548, 549, or 724(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be deemed Disallowed pursuant to section 502(d) of the 

Bankruptcy Code, and holders of such Claims or Interests may not receive any distributions on account of such Claims 

or Interests until such time as such Causes of Action against that Entity have been settled or a Bankruptcy Court Order 

with respect thereto has been entered and all sums due, if any, to the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, 

by that Entity have been turned over or paid to the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor. 

Except as provided herein or otherwise agreed, any and all Proofs of Claim filed after the Claims Bar 

Date shall be deemed Disallowed and expunged as of the Effective Date without any further notice to or action, 

order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and holders of such Claims may not receive any distributions on 

account of such Claims, unless on or before the Confirmation Hearing such late Claim has been deemed timely 

filed by a Final Order. 

G. Amendments to Claims.

On or after the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided herein, a Claim or Interest may not be Filed or 

amended without the prior authorization of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, and any such new or 

amended Claim or Interest Filed shall be deemed Disallowed and expunged without any further notice to or action, 

Order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. 

H. No Distributions Pending Allowance. 

If an objection to a Claim or Interest or portion thereof is Filed as set forth in Article VII of the Plan, or if 

such Claim or Interest is scheduled as Disputed, no payment or distribution provided under the Plan shall be made on 

account of such Claim or Interest or portion thereof unless and until such Disputed Claim or Disputed Interest becomes 

an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest; however, at the sole discretion of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as 

applicable, payment may be made on any undisputed portion of such Claim or Interest. 

I. Distributions After Allowance. 

To the extent that a Disputed Claim or Disputed Interest ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim or Allowed 

Interest, distributions (if any) shall be made to the holder of such Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest in accordance

with the provisions of the Plan. As soon as practicable after the date that the Order of the Bankruptcy Court allowing 

any Disputed Claim or Disputed Interest becomes a Final Order, the Reorganized Debtor shall provide to the holder 

of such Claim or Interest the distribution (if any) to which such holder is entitled under the Plan as of the Effective 

Date, less any previous distribution (if any) that was made on account of the undisputed portion of such Claim or 

Interest, without any interest, dividends, or accruals to be paid on account of such Claim or Interest unless required 

under applicable bankruptcy law or as otherwise provided in Article III.B of the Plan. 

J. Single Satisfaction of Claims. 

Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests may assert such Claims against or Interests in the Debtor(s) 

obligated with respect to such Claims or Interests, and such Claims or Interests shall be entitled to share in the recovery 

provided for the applicable Class of Claims or Interests against the Debtor based upon the full Allowed amount of 

such Claims or Interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no case shall the aggregate value of all property received 

or retained under the Plan on account of any Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest exceed 100 percent (100%) of the 

underlying Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest plus applicable interest, if any.

Effective Date. The Confirmation Order shall be a judicial determination of the discharge of all Claims and Interests 

subject to Consummation.

against any property of the Estate shall revert to the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable. 

D. Releases by the Debtor.

Pursuant to section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, for good and valuable consideration, on and after 

the Effective Date, each Released Party is deemed released and discharged by the Debtor and the Debtor’s 

Estate, in each case on behalf of themselves and their respective successors, assigns, and representatives, and 

any and all other entities who may purport to assert any Cause of Action, directly or derivatively, by, through,

Action against, or Interest in, the Debtor or other Entity, based on or relating to, or in any manner arising 

from, in whole or in part, the Debtor, the Debtor’s in- or out-of-court restructuring efforts, intercompany

entity under the Plan or any document, instrument, or agreement (including those set forth in the Plan 

Supplement) executed to implement the Plan and the Restructuring Transactions; (b) any Administrative 

Claims held by the Debtor against the TRU Retail Debtor Parties or any Former Debtor, including any

Claims; or (d) any and all setoff, subrogation, recoupment, or other similar legal or equitable right held by the

reference each of the related provisions and definitions contained in this Plan, and further, shall constitute its 

finding that each release described in this Article VIII.D is: (1) in exchange for the good and valuable 

consideration provided by the Released Parties, a good faith settlement and compromise of such Causes of 

Action; (2) in the best interest of the Debtor and all Holders of Interests and Causes of Action; (3) fair, equitable, 

and reasonable; (4) given and made after due notice and opportunity for hearing; and (5) subject to the terms

As of the Effective Date, each Releasing Party is deemed to have released and discharged the Debtor 

and each Released Party from any and all Causes of Action, whether known or unknown, including any 

derivative Causes of Action asserted on behalf of the Debtor, that such Entity would have been legally entitled 

to assert (whether individually or collectively), based on or relating to, or in any manner arising from, in whole 

or in part, the Debtor, the Debtor’s in- or out-of-court restructuring efforts, intercompany transactions, the 

Chapter 11 Cases, the formulation, preparation, dissemination, negotiation, or filing of the Disclosure 

Statement, the Plan (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Plan Supplement), or any Restructuring

the contrary herein, nothing in this Article or this Plan shall release (a) any post-Effective Date obligations of 

any party or entity under the Plan or any document, instrument, or agreement (including those set forth in the 

Plan Supplement) executed to implement the Plan and the Restructuring Transactions; (b) any Administrative 

Claims held by the Debtor against the TRU Retail Debtor Parties or any Former Debtor, including any 

Administrative Claims pursuant to sections 503(b) or 507(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (c) any Non-Released 

Claims; or (d) any and all setoff, subrogation, recoupment, or other similar legal or equitable right held by the

Entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval, pursuant to 

Bankruptcy Rule 9019, of the releases described in this Article VIII.E, which includes by reference each of the 

related provisions and definitions contained in this Plan, and further, shall constitute its finding that each 

release described in this Article VIII.E is: (1) in exchange for the good and valuable consideration provided by 

the Released Parties, a good faith settlement and compromise of such Causes of Action; (2) in the best interests 

of the Debtor and all Holders of Interests and Causes of Action; (3) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (4) given 

and made after due notice and opportunity for hearing; and (5) subject to the terms and provisions herein, a 

bar to any of the Releasing Parties asserting any Cause of Action, or liability related thereto, of any kind 

whatsoever, against any of the Released Parties or their property. 

F. Exculpation. 

Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, no Exculpated Party shall have or incur any

related to any act or omission in connection with, relating to, or arising out of, the Chapter 11 Cases, the

Restructuring Transaction, contract, instrument, release or other agreement or document created or entered 

into in connection with the Disclosure Statement or the Plan, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the pursuit of 

Confirmation, the pursuit of Consummation, the administration and implementation of the Plan, including the 

issuance of securities pursuant to the Plan, or the distribution of property under the Plan or any other related 

agreement, except for Causes of Action related to any act or omission that is determined in a Final Order to 

have constituted actual fraud, willful misconduct, or gross negligence, but in all respects such Entities shall be 

entitled to reasonably rely upon the advice of counsel with respect to their duties and responsibilities pursuant 

to the Plan. The Exculpated Parties have, and upon completion of the Plan shall be deemed to have, participated 

in good faith and in compliance with the applicable laws with regard to the solicitation of votes and distribution 

of consideration pursuant to the Plan and, therefore, are not, and on account of such distributions shall not be,

Bankruptcy Code; (iii) any Non-Released Claims; or (iv) any and all setoff, subrogation, recoupment, or other 

similar legal or equitable right held by the Debtor against any Entity. 

G. Injunction. 

Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or for obligations issued or required to be paid 

pursuant to the Plan, or the Confirmation Order, all Entities who have held, hold, or may hold Causes of Action, 

Claims, or Interests that have been compromised, settled, or released, or are subject to exculpation are 

permanently enjoined, from and after the Effective Date, from taking any of the following actions against, as 

applicable, the Debtor, the Exculpated Parties, or the Released Parties: (1) commencing or continuing in any

any such Causes of Action, Claims, or Interests unless such Holder has Filed a motion requesting the right to 

perform such legal or equitable right on or before the Effective Date, and notwithstanding an indication of any 

Cause of Action, Claim, or Interest or otherwise that such Holder asserts, has, or intends to preserve pursuant 

to applicable law or otherwise; and (5) commencing or continuing in any manner any and all Causes of Action 

or other proceeding of any kind on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Causes of 

Action, Claims, or Interests released or settled pursuant to the Plan; provided, however, that, notwithstanding 

anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Article or this Plan shall enjoin: (i) any Entity from taking the

any document, instrument, or agreement (including those set forth in the Plan Supplement) executed to

Upon entry of the Confirmation Order, all Holders of Claims and Interests and their respective current

from taking any actions to interfere with the implementation or Consummation of the Plan. Each Holder of 

an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest, as applicable, by accepting, or being eligible to accept, distributions 

under or Reinstatement of such Claim or Interest, as applicable, pursuant to the Plan, shall be deemed to have

to renew a license, permit, charter, franchise, or other similar grant to, condition such a grant to, discriminate with 

respect to such a grant against, the Debtor, or another Entity with whom the Debtor have been associated, solely 

because Debtor has been a debtor under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, has been insolvent before the

I. Setoffs.

Except as otherwise expressly provided for in the Plan, Debtor, as applicable, pursuant to the Bankruptcy 

Code (including section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code), applicable non-bankruptcy law, or as may be agreed to by the 

Holder of a Claim, may set off against any Allowed Claim and the distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan on 

account of such Allowed Claim (before any distribution is made on account of such Allowed Claim), any Claims, 

rights, and Causes of Action of any nature that such Debtor may hold against the Holder of such Allowed Claim, to 

the extent such Claims, rights, or Causes of Action against such Holder have not been otherwise compromised or 

settled on or before the Effective Date (whether pursuant to the Plan or otherwise); provided, however, that neither 

the failure to effect such a setoff nor the allowance of any Claim pursuant to the Plan shall constitute a waiver or 

release by such Debtor of any such Claims, rights, Causes of Action, and legal or equitable defenses that such Debtor 

may possess against such Holder. In no event shall any Holder of Claims be entitled to set off any Claim against any 

Claim, right, or Cause of Action of a Debtor, unless such Holder has timely Filed a Proof of Claim with the Bankruptcy 

Court preserving such setoff provided, that the foregoing shall not prevent any Holder of Claims or Interests from 

asserting setoff rights as an affirmative defense to the extent provided by applicable law. 

J. Recoupment. 

In no event shall any Holder of Claims or Interests be entitled to recoup any Claim against any claim, right, 

or Cause of Action of the Debtor unless such Holder actually has timely Filed a Proof of Claim with the Bankruptcy 

Court preserving such recoupment, provided, that the foregoing shall not prevent any Holder of Claims or Interests 

from asserting recoupment as an affirmative defense to the extent provided by applicable law. 

K. Subordination Rights. 

The classification and treatment of all Claims and Interests under the Plan shall conform to and with the 

respective contractual, legal, and equitable subordination rights of such Claims and Interests, and any such rights shall 

be settled, compromised, and released pursuant to the Plan. 

L. Document Retention. 

On and after the Effective Date, the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, may maintain documents 

in accordance with their standard document retention policy, as may be altered, amended, modified, or supplemented 

by the Debtor. 

M. Reimbursement or Contribution. 

If the Bankruptcy Court disallows a Claim for reimbursement or contribution of an Entity pursuant to section 

502(e)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code, then to the extent that such Claim is contingent as of the time of allowance or 

disallowance, such Claim shall be forever Disallowed and expunged notwithstanding section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy 

Code, unless before the Confirmation Date: (1) such Claim has been adjudicated as non-contingent; or (2) the relevant 

Holder of a Claim has Filed a non-contingent Proof of Claim on account of such Claim and a Final Order has been 

entered before the Confirmation Date determining such Claim as no longer contingent.

YOU ARE RECEIVING THIS LETTER BECAUSE YOU ARE ENTITLED TO

In addition to this cover letter, the enclosed materials comprise your Solicitation Package, 

and were approved by the Court for distribution to Holders of Claims in connection with the 

solicitation of votes to accept the Plan. The Solicitation Package consists of the following: 

a. a copy of the Solicitation and Voting Procedures; 

b. a Ballot, together with detailed voting instructions and a pre-addressed, 

postage prepaid return envelope; 

c. this letter; 

d. the Disclosure Statement, as approved by the Bankruptcy Court (and 

exhibits thereto, including the Plan);

Solicitation and Voting Procedures); 

f. the notice of the hearing to consider confirmation of the Plan; and

distributions) on account of Claims asserted in the Chapter 11 Cases.

PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE THAT you are receiving this notice because the 

Debtor s records reflect that you are a party to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that is 

listed on the Assumption Schedule. Therefore, you are advised to review carefully the information 

contained in this notice and the related provisions of the Plan, including the Assumption Schedule.

PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE THAT section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code 

requires a chapter 11 debtor to cure, or provide adequate assurance that it will promptly cure, any 

defaults under executory contracts and unexpired leases at the time of assumption. Accordingly, 

the Debtor has conducted a thorough review of their books and records and have determined the 

amounts required to cure defaults, if any, under the Executory Contract(s) and Unexpired Lease(s), 

which amounts are listed in the table above. Please note that if no amount is stated for a particular 

Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, the Debtor believes that there is no cure amount 

outstanding for such contract or lease.

PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE THAT absent any pending dispute, the monetary 

amounts required to cure any existing defaults arising under the Executory Contract(s) and 

Unexpired Lease(s) identified above will be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the 

Bankruptcy Code, by the Debtor in Cash on the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable 

thereafter. In the event of a dispute, however, payment of the cure amount would be made 

following the entry of a final order(s) resolving the dispute and approving the assumption. If an 

objection to the proposed assumption or related cure amount is sustained by the Court, however, 

the Debtor may elect to reject such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease in lieu of assuming it.

PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE THAT the deadline for filing objections to the 

Plan (including any assumption of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease as contemplated in 

the Plan Supplement) is January 23, 2019, at 12:00 p.m., prevailing Eastern Time 

(the Plan Objection Deadline must: (a) be in writing; (b) conform 

to the Bankruptcy Rules and any orders of the Court; (c) state, with particularity, the basis and

right to (a) remove any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease from the Assumption Schedule and reject such
