                          ERRATA SHEET

          The opinion of this Court, issued on December 23,

2021, is amended as follows:

                               - 2 -
           On pages 11–12, footnote 3, add after "(similar)." "The

district court had ruled the stay did not apply.             The parties in

whose interest it would have been to take advantage of the stay,

if applicable at all, take the position the stay did not apply and

no party appealed the determination by the district court.                  Our

decision in HealthproMed Foundation, Inc. v. Department of Health

and Human Services, 982 F.3d 15 (1st Cir. 2020), is distinguishable

because it was clear the stay applied and here the issue is one of

considerable complexity.     See also Borrás-Borrero v. Corporación

del Fondo del Seguro del Estado, 958 F.3d 26, 34 (1st Cir. 2020)

(bypassing the application of the PROMESA automatic stay where the

parties agreed the stay did not apply, the stay issue was "not

clear-cut," and the judgment resulted in dismissal on the merits)."

           On   page   22,   line    1,     add   "the"   before   "Board   of

Directors".
