2019 24th Annual Rocky Mountain Bankruptcy Conference

This panel will explore four challenging chapter 11 plan confirmation issues and potential ways to resolve them: (1) the appropriate cramdown interest rate; (2) the absolute priority rule; (3) plan exculpations and releases; and (4) creative ways to treat recalcitrant creditors (including unimpairment, reinstatement, contract assumption and other means).

Join this panel of experts from across the country as they discuss and analyze the latest issues and recent important bankruptcy and insolvency decisions from the Supreme Court, circuit courts of appeals and lower courts, and what issues could soon be addressed by the appellate courts.

This panel will discuss some accounting basics in terms of what trustees and creditors can learn about the debtor early in a case from various financial documents, information gleaned from tax returns beyond just refunds pending, when and why valuations are needed and the methods and assumptions to consider, and the use of cash collateral budgets and projections.
