I. Background

1. On June 17, 2023, the Oversight Board filed the Informative Motion of the 

Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico Regarding Extension to June 23, 

2023 for Certification of 2023 PREPA Fiscal Plan [ECF No. 3767]. Therein, the Oversight Board 

informed the Court that it was unable to responsibly certify a fiscal plan for PREPA for fiscal year

3 As of the filing of the Joint Status Report, counsel for the Oversight Board had not received 

notice from counsel for PV Properties, ICSE, or the Environmental Advocacy Groups as to 

whether they are in agreement with the language of the Joint Status Report. 

Case:17-03283-LTS Doc#:24626 Filed:06/21/23 Entered:06/21/23 13:54:22 Desc: Main

Document Page 3 of 19

2023 (the “2023 PREPA Fiscal Plan”) by its anticipated deadline of June 16, 2023, and committed 

to certifying the 2023 PREPA Fiscal Plan and identifying any necessary amendments to the Title 

III Plan by June 23, 2023. The Oversight Board further committed to upload to the Plan Depository 

the model and other source data supporting the 2023 PREPA Fiscal Plan as soon as they are

available.

2. On June 18, 2023, the Court entered the Order, requiring the Oversight Board to 

meet and confer with counsel for the objectors and file this Joint Status Report. Additionally, the 

Court directed the Oversight Board to meet and confer with counsel for the objectors within 24 

hours of the certification of the 2023 PREPA Fiscal Plan and file an additional status report by 

June 28, 2023 (the “June 28 Status Report”).

3. Following entry of the Order, Bondholders filed the Urgent Motion of the Ad Hoc 

Group of PREPA Bondholders, Assured Guaranty Corp., Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp., 

Syncora Guarantee, Inc., and U.S. Bank National Association as PREPA Bond Trustee to Suspend 

Upcoming Confirmation Deadlines Due to the Oversight Board’s Delay in Certifying PREPA’s 

2023 Fiscal Plan [ECF No. 3769] (“Bondholders’ Urgent Motion”). Therein, Bondholders 

requested the Court suspend the June 21, 2023 deadlines for filing finalized witness lists, exhibit 

lists, and deposition designations, and the June 26, 2023 deadline for filing witness declarations. 

The Oversight Board did not object to Bondholders’ requested relief.

4. On June 19, 2023, in response to Bondholders’ Urgent Motion, the Court entered 

the Order Suspending Certain Confirmation Deadlines [No. 3770], suspending the deadlines for 

filing finalized witness lists, exhibit lists, deposition designations, and witness declarations.

5. On June 20, 2023, consistent with the Order, counsel for the Oversight Board met 

and conferred with counsel for National, FLL, AAFAF, and the Objectors to discuss whether and 

Case:17-03283-LTS Doc#:24626 Filed:06/21/23 Entered:06/21/23 13:54:22 Desc: Main

Document Page 4 of 19
5

to what extent upcoming confirmation-related dates should be altered or canceled in advance of 

the issuance of the 2023 PREPA Fiscal Plan and the forthcoming June 28 Status Report. Counsel 

for the Oversight Board informed the Objectors that the Oversight Board (i) still anticipates 

certifying PREPA’s 2023 Fiscal Plan this Friday, June 23; (ii) intends, in connection with such 

certification, to describe any changes that it anticipates proposing to the plan of adjustment, but 

will not actually file a new or amended plan this Friday; and (iii) consistent with prior practice, it 

may take up to two weeks following any fiscal-plan certification to provide models and data 

underlying the new fiscal plan to Objectors, although the Oversight Board would endeavor to 

provide the materials as soon as possible.

II. All Remaining Confirmation-Related Deadlines Should be Canceled.

6. The Court already has suspended, pending further order, the deadlines for filing 

finalized witness lists, exhibit lists, deposition designations, and witness declarations. See ECF 

No. 3770. In light of the announced actions of the Oversight Board with respect to the 2023 

PREPA Fiscal Plan and the anticipated changes to the Title III Plan, there was a consensus that

there was no choice but to request that all remaining confirmation-related deadlines be canceled. 

7. Concurrently with this Joint Status Report, the Oversight Board will be filing an

urgent motion formally requesting the cancellation of all remaining confirmation-related 

deadlines, including the currently scheduled dates for the hearing on confirmation of the Title III 

Plan.

8. As required by the Order, the Oversight Board will meet and confer with National, 

FLL, AAFAF, and the Objectors following the certification of the PREPA 2023 Fiscal Plan. In 

the June 28 Status Report, the Oversight Board expects to be able to provide information 

concerning whether and when a proposed supplemental disclosure statement and full proposed 

amended plan can be filed, and the path forward towards confirmation. The Oversight Board will 

Case:17-03283-LTS Doc#:24626 Filed:06/21/23 Entered:06/21/23 13:54:22 Desc: Main

Document Page 5 of 19
6

advise the Court as to whether it believes any resolicitations are required and whether it believes 

the proposed supplemental disclosure statement requires approval of the Court prior to such 

solicitations; the Objectors reserve all rights with respect to the foregoing, pending the receipt of 

additional information.

Oversight Board’s Statement:

9. The Oversight Board disagrees with the Bondholders’ statement below. Due to 

timing constraints, the Oversight Board will not address the Bondholders’ statement in this Joint 

Status Report, but reserves the right to respond in due course. 

Bondholders’ Statement: 

10. Bondholders agree that the Oversight Board’s recent announcements render the 

existing confirmation-related schedule untenable. They do not agree in advance, however, to 

whatever “path forward towards confirmation” the Oversight Board may propose. To the contrary, 

the Bondholders submit that the Oversight Board’s repeated failures to meet its self-imposed 

deadlines to certify a fiscal plan and the Court’s scheduling orders amount to undue delay that 

harms PREPA’s creditors and the Commonwealth. 

Creditors’ Committee’s Statement:

11. The Committee also agrees that the Oversight Board’s recent announcements 

render the existing confirmation-related schedule untenable. The Committee reserves all rights 

with respect to whatever “path forward towards confirmation” the Oversight Board may propose.

UTIER and SREAEE’s Statement:

12. UTIER and SREAEE agree that the Oversight Board’s recent announcements 

render the existing confirmation-related schedule untenable and reserves all rights with respect to 

whatever “path forward towards confirmation” the Oversight Board may propose.

AAFAF’s Statement:

13. The importance of getting PREPA’s restructuring right is paramount. There is an 

opportunity here to shape the future of Puerto Rico’s energy sector and Puerto Rico more broadly, 

but only if the Title III Plan is affordable, feasible, and sustainable. PROMESA requires that the 

Oversight Board schedule fiscal plan certifications each fiscal year. 4 If the Oversight Board needs 

more time to address whether the Title III Plan is affordable, feasible, and sustainable in light of 

the 2023 PREPA Fiscal Plan, then AAFAF believes it should do what is necessary to fulfill its 

responsibilities and statutory obligations. The Oversight Board must do everything it can to (i) 

keep electric rates affordable; and (ii) preserve Puerto Rico’s economy and PREPA’s functionality 

by ensuring that PREPA’s restructured debt is sustainable. This is the only way to protect the 

residents and businesses of Puerto Rico and to safeguard PREPA from future restructurings. 

AAFAF reserves all rights with respect to any amended Title III Plan and path forward.

4 See 48 U.S.C. §§ 2141(a) (noting that “in each fiscal year [(i.e., July 1 to June 30)] . . . during which the Oversight 

Board is in operation, the Oversight Board shall deliver a notice to the Governor providing a schedule for the 

process of development, submission, approval, and certification of Fiscal Plans”).
