Bankruptcy Court Opinions Sample Clauses

Bankruptcy Court Opinions. (a) In re Lake Michigan Beach Pottawattamie Resort LLC, 547 B.R. 899 (Bankr. N.D. Ill. 2016) (blocking right invalid). A limited liability company in default of its debt obligations entered into a forbearance agreement whereby it agreed to establish its lender as a fifth member of the company, which was labeled a “Special Member.” Id. at 903-04. The Special Member had no interest in the profits or losses of the company and its sole right was to block the company from petitioning for bankruptcy relief. The amendment to the operating agreement creating the Special Member specifically stated that the Special Member when exercising its blocking right was under “no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Company or the members.” Id. at 904. Despite no authorization from the Special Member, the company petitioned for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code with authorization from the other four members. The Special Member moved to dismiss the petition as an unauthorized filing. But, the Michigan Bankruptcy Court focused on blocking structure’s failure to impose fiduciary duties on the blocking member. The essential playbook for a successful blocking director structure is this: the director must be subject to normal director fiduciary duties and therefore in some circumstances vote in favor of a bankruptcy filing, even if it is not in the best interests of the creditor that they were chosen by. [The Special Member’s] playbook was, unfortunately, missing this page.
