Trust Indenture Act and Involuntary Restructurings: Impact of Marblegate and Caesars Bankruptcy Litigation
Navigating Obligor and Bondholder Rights, Implications for the 144A-for-Life Market
Recording of a 90-minute CLE webinar with Q&A
This CLE webinar will discuss the emergence and subsequent limitation of the Trust Indenture Act (TIA) as a tool for objecting bondholders to challenge restructuring outside of bankruptcy. The program will examine the Marblegate and Caesars Entertainment cases, the Second Circuit’s very recent reversal of the District Court’s decision in Marblegate, and how these decisions will ultimately impact bondholders and indenture trustees in out-of-court restructurings.
Outline
- Review of Section 316(a) of the Trust Indenture Act
- Review of the Marblegate and Caesars Entertainment decisions in the District Courts
- Analysis of the Second Court panel’s majority opinion and dissent in Marblegate
- Impact of the Second Circuit’s Marblegate decision on out-of-court restructuring of public debt
- Implications for the 144A-for-life market
Benefits
The panel will review these and other key issues:
- Why hasn’t TIA been invoked by minority creditors with more frequency?
- What is the effect of the Second Circuit’s recent reversal of the District Court’s Marblegate decision?
- What are the implications for out-of-court restructurings going forward? Can TIA still be a tool for bondholders?
