Fifth Circuit Vacates FERC Orders, Reaffirming Contract Rejection Powers in Bankruptcy
On July 19, 2022, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit added to a stream of recent decisions upholding a debtor's right to "reject" regulated energy contracts in bankruptcy, even over the objection of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). With its decision, the court vacated a pair of FERC orders entered prior to the actual bankruptcy proceeding that sought to require a natural gas producer to continue performing under agreements even if they were to be rejected in a bankruptcy case.1

Delaware Bankruptcy Court Rules Shareholder “Blocking Right” to Prevent Corporate Bankruptcy Subordinate to Federal Public Policy
In the first decision by a Delaware court to address this issue, a Delaware bankruptcy judge denied a shareholder's motion to dismiss a Chapter 11 bankruptcy case based on the shareholder's contractual blocking right. While the decision focused on the particular facts and circumstances of the case, it serves as an indicator that the public policy surrounding bankruptcy may override negotiated shareholder protections in a company's governing documents.

Principal Tax Issues in Debt Restructurings
As a result of the current difficult economic environment, many debtors and lenders find themselves in the position of having to renegotiate and restructure their debt obligations and entitlements. Without careful upfront tax planning, these restructurings may result in adverse tax consequences that can exacerbate the economic pain that the parties are already suffering. For the distressed debtor, the principal consideration is to avoid cancellation of indebtedness (COD) income or the loss of valuable tax attributes such as net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs). For the lender, the principal consideration is to avoid restructuring the debt in a manner that results in the deemed issuance of a new debt that includes original issue discount (OID) and, consequently, taxable income in advance of receiving cash. It should be noted that recent changes in tax law have made these rules more relevant to debt restructurings of “controlled foreign corporations” (CFCs). The following discussion summarizes the key federal income tax issues at play which should be kept in mind by the parties in implementing any such restructuring.
