The prevalence of liability management exercises (LMEs) continues to grow as companies seek creative solutions to manage unsustainable capital structures. Majority creditor groups have a long list of options to choose from in order to put themselves in front of minority creditors – priming, uptiering, covenant stripping, drop-down transactions and more. But the track record for so-called lender-on-lender violence has been patchy at best, often serving as a precursor to bankruptcy, rather than a way to avert it.

Potential discussion points:
1) What are some key takeaways from recent litigation, and what could have been done differently?
2) How can minority/nonparticipating lenders best protect themselves via creditor cooperation agreements?
3) What are the implications of these transactions on valuations?
4) How have these transactions evolved, and what does the future of lender-on-lender violence hold?

The Supreme Court's June 2024 decision in Truck Insurance Exchange v. Kaiser Gypsum Company held that insurers qualified as "parties in interest" under Section 1109(b), entitling those insurers to object to a plan of reorganization. This landmark decision is likely to have far-ranging effects in the reorganization world and affect debtors and creditors committees alike. The ABI should host a panel examining the expected extent and impact of those effects, including that:
- debtors and creditors should prepare for the fact that insurance carriers will start getting a seat at the negotiating table;
- the insurance industry may view Truck as not merely granting a seat at the table, but also as an invitation to test the boundaries of its newly granted position;
- Truck presents an existential threat to the already-risky tack of chapter 11 plans' limiting director and officer liability to only insurance proceeds;
- insurance carriers will likely leverage Truck to urge courts in jurisdictions that deem insurance proceeds to be property of the estate to reexamine the status quo; and
- insurance carriers will begin to horse-trade for concessions in connection with first-day motions and debtors' purchasing tail coverage and run-off policies post-petition.
