Continue with the Bankruptcy Process
If you continue with the bankruptcy process:
Any future recovery of your claim is uncertain.
Absent the confirmation of a plan of reorganization by the bankruptcy court, it is often uncertain what a case might pay, if anything.
Your free cash flow is limited.
Firms can remain in bankruptcy for long periods of time, and the timing of any eventual distribution is unknown. Fair Harbor Capital has had investments in bankruptcies lasting ten years or more.
The bankruptcy process is time-consuming and distracting.
Keeping up with the review of paperwork and correspondence regarding bankruptcy can be daunting.
Evaluating your claim's worth can be heart-wrenching.
Trying to determine the value of your claim as the case proceeds and rumors fly can have a detrimental effect on company performance and objectivity.
Accounting for the unresolved claim is complex.
Knowing when to take the write off for any loss is not straightforward.
Notwithstanding Fair Harbor Capital's outlook for each claim purchased, each creditor (including individual Creditors' Committee members) is encouraged to make its own independent determination as to whether the sale price of the claim is acceptable to that creditor and is encouraged to consult with its own legal and/or financial advisors.
