To the extent the Debtors receive an appropriate Declaration of Proposed Transfer and determine in their business judgment not to object, they shall provide five (5) business days’ notice of that decision to counsel to any statutory committee(s) appointed in the Debtors’ chapter 11 cases.

b.         Prior to filing any federal or state tax return or any amendment or taking any other action to such a return that claims any deduction for worthlessness of Beneficial Ownership of Common Shares or Preferred Shares for a tax year ending before the Debtors’ emergence from chapter 11 protection, such 50-Percent Shareholder must file with the Court and serve upon the Declaration Notice Parties an advance written declaration substantially in the form of Exhibit 1E attached to these Procedures (each, a “Declaration of Intent to Claim a Worthless Stock Deduction”) of the intended claim of worthlessness.

If the Debtors file an objection, the filing of the return or amendment or taking any other action with such claim remains ineffective pending a final ruling on the objection (and thereafter in accordance with the ruling and applicable appellate rules and procedures), and the 50-Percent 

4 Based on approximately 138,135,046 shares of Common Shares outstanding as of May 8, 2020 and 185,280 of Preferred Shares outstanding as of March 31, 2020.
