“Cram-Up” Overview

Key Issues Major Activities• Does existing management want us?

• Would the Committee’s (or opposing creditors’) plan be fair/feasible from an economic perspective?

• Gain management support

– Supports fairness/feasibility

– Enables an efficient process

y j

– Are the Senior Creditors currently exposed to the same risk that they were exposed to when they agreed to extend credit?

• Will the Senior Creditors be adequately protected?

• Build a solid analytical base by determining credible benchmarks

– “Cram-up” terms (interest rate, duration, security, covenants, collateral and payment terms)

• Are the financial terms fair?

– Interest rate

– Amortization

D ti

– Comparable credit quality measures (yields, CDS or S&P benchmarks)

– Earnings growth and trading multiples of comparable companies

– Duration

– Covenants

– Collateral

– Credit risk

– Industry supply and demand forecasts – think global!

• Prepare credible forecasts through term

– It is hard to argue fairness/feasibility if theIt is hard to argue fairness/feasibility if the enterprise can service debt and capital (working and CAPX) requirements using a “stress” scenario

• Ensure adequate protection

Page 9: Bankruptcy Reorganization Plan Strategies: Reinstatement ...

Cram-Up Game Plan

• “Secure the Players” to gain management support – Use the three “C’s”:

– Compensation, especially post-confirmation incentive plans

– Capital, for new products or acquisitions

– Composition of the post-emergence Board and management team

• “Block and Tackle Relentlessly” – Build a strong analytical base• Block and Tackle Relentlessly – Build a strong analytical base

– Determine a truly comparable set of companies. Consider the following:

Publicly traded debt (CDS, credit rating and yield data is available)

Geographical and product/business unit revenue dispersion

Position in the supply chain (consumer facing/next tier down/commodity based) and business model (lower cost vs. higher perceived service)

– Obtain industry supply and demand forecasts built with econometric models on a global basis. These are generally subscription based, but considering most industries are influenced in some degree by global supply and demand domesticindustries are influenced in some degree by global supply and demand, domestic only analysis may be limited.

– Determine comparable groups’ internal earnings estimates and analyst estimates. Read analyst reports for the comparable group and for the Debtor’s industry.

– Perform correlation analyses based on a readily available forecasted macroeconomicPerform correlation analyses based on a readily available forecasted macroeconomic or industry statistic (such as GDP) to determine what most influences the Debtor’s revenue or earnings.

Cram-up Game Plan (continued)

• Run the “Triple Option” to assess the Debtor’s forecast. The purpose of this analysis is to determine liquidity through term. This supports both fairness/feasibility and adequate protection. The forecasts are also key inputs in determining the Debtor’s enterprise value and credit quality. Some good practices include:

– Stress Scenario – Extrapolate the Debtor’s historical earnings through an p g gindustry cycle (three to seven years depending on the industry) subject to very specific and rational adjustments. Such adjustments may include closing a business unit or other truly significant non-recurring economic events. Then subject this extrapolation to certain stresses (reduction in volume, compression of margins or other key variables).

– Comparative Scenario – Through selection of a truly comparable set of public companies, compare the Debtor’s expected earnings to company growth estimates or analyst estimates. Additionally, compare growth rates to industry supply and demand estimates using third party industry forecasts such as those provided by Global Insight.

– Statistical Scenario – Correlate the Debtor’s historical revenue or earnings to an independent variable for which reasonable forecasts exist (such as GDP). Once correlated, the forecast of the independent variable will provide a reasonable estimate of the Debtor’s earnings or revenue.

Page 11: Bankruptcy Reorganization Plan Strategies: Reinstatement ...

Cram-up Game Plan (continued)

• Defense “Trick Plays” – Certain cash requirements are difficult to project due to lack of information or credible benchmarks. Use best efforts to estimate:

– Tax impact post-confirmation

– Intercompany claims of international assets (may want these claims to remain in tact post-confirmation in order to transfer funds from a subsidiary to the parent tax f )free)

– Plan funding costs considering DIP pay-off and administrative expenses (especially professional and cure costs)

– Ability to refinance the senior class’s obligations at the end of the term

– Capital equipment requirements, assuming substantial under-investment prior to and during the bankruptcy (consider funding new product or market development so the enterprise will have a greater probability of growth)

Note: When benchmarking this measure to more healthy comparables, attempt to distinguish between maintenance, productivity and capacity expansion CAPXg , p y p y p

– Working capital requirements [consider if the enterprise is emerging at a low point in their respective business cycle, vendor accommodations exist or post-emergence payment terms will be had (can be a great source of liquidity) or customer accommodations (shorter payment terms) will return to post-filing levels]

Cram-up Game Plan (continued)

• Attack the “Big Uglies” (the Senior Creditors) – After the players are secured, fundamental bl ki d t ki l ti i l th t i l ti f t l t d t i k lblocking and tacking analytics are in place, the triple option forecasts are complete and trick play defense is set, you are in a position to attack:

– Demonstrate that cash flow will be sufficient to fund all business obligations with adequate cushion, therefore supporting feasibility. This will help support proposed duration, amortization and financial covenants.

– Calculate the Debtor’s pro-forma credit quality at the time of the initial credit agreement, at post-emergence and at term. This will support adequate protection and post-emergence credit terms.

This trend, given a credible forecast and likely forgiveness of significant debt as a result of the bankruptcy should improveresult of the bankruptcy, should improve.

Compare the post-emergence credit statistics to S&P standards, and the comparable group’s statistics (for those with ratings or publicly traded debt) to assist in the determination of credit quality. Utilization of market based measures in the form of yield and CDS pricing for the comparables can also provide useful data if comparable

credit ratings are dated or not available.

Utilize the comparable group’s yield and CDS data to help support the proposed interest rate, adjusting for any security differences (if public yield, ratings or CDS data is for unsecured debt) to support the reasonableness of the proposed interest rate.

Calculate the Debtor’s liquidation and enterprise value to support adequate protection (the– Calculate the Debtor s liquidation and enterprise value to support adequate protection (the “collateral” variable in credit).

Overview of MagnaChip Semiconductor, LLC

• MagnaChip Semiconductor, LLC (“MNX”, or, the “Company”), headquartered in Chungbuk, South Korea, is a leading Asia-$based designer and manufacturer of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors with annual revenue of approximately $700

million. Substantially all operating assets are located in Korea but MNX had a U.S based capital structure.

• MagnaChip filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in June 2009 due to, among other factors, significant declines in the semiconductor market during the second half of 2008 and first half of 2009. Based on this decline, and other factors, MagnaChip was unable to support approximately $850 of pre-petition interest bearing debt consisting of approximately:g y g g y

– $95 million in senior secured revolving credit facility (“Senior Secured”)

– $500 million second lien debt (“Second Lien’s”)

– $250 million unsecured subordinated notes (“Unsecured Notes”)

• Upon its filing, the MNX filed a pre-arranged plan of reorganization (the “Debtors’ Plan”) which, among other terms, provided for the sale of substantially all assets to a Korean based private equity firm for approximately $70.0 million. TheSenior Lender’s supported the Debtors’ Plan despite the fact the Debtors’ Plan would cause the Senior Lenders’ to incur a substantial loss.

– The Debtors’ Plan provided virtually nothing for the Second Lien’s and Unsecured Note Holdersp y g

– The Second Lien’s were substantially held by Avenue Capital Management II, L.P. (“Avenue”), one of the largest global investment management firms in the world, managing assets valued at approximately $17.8 billion

Overview of MagnaChip Semiconductor, LLC (continued)

• The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the “Committee”) took issue with the Debtors’ Plan The Committee was• The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the Committee ) took issue with the Debtors Plan. The Committee was chaired by Avenue, represented by Lowenstein Sandler PC (“Lowenstein”) and Mesirow Financial Consulting, LLC (“MFC”) served as financial advisor.

• The Debtors proposed an overly aggressive confirmation schedule, as such, the Committee sought to terminate exclusivity as part of an objection to the Debtors’ Disclosure Statement. The Committee argued that the Debtors’ Plan was unfair to Unsecured Creditors based upon an unreasonably low selling price considering the effects of certainwas unfair to Unsecured Creditors based upon an unreasonably low selling price considering the effects of certain changes in the Debtors’ business plan and expected improvement in the semiconductor industry.

• The Court ruled in favor of the Committee; granting the Committee to the right to propose a plan.

• The Committee initially proposed a “Cram-up” Plan (the “Committee’s Plan”) sponsored by Avenue Capital. The Plan proposed by Avenue contained the following key economic terms:proposed by Avenue, contained the following key economic terms:

– Reinstate the Senior Lenders at par with a 10% interest rate for a five-year term with all other pre-petition terms substantially in place.

– Offer Second Lien’s the right to purchase stock on a pro-rata basis with Avenue backstopping up to $70.0 million.

Offer the Unsecured Notes equity if certain financial hurdles were achieved– Offer the Unsecured Notes equity if certain financial hurdles were achieved.

• The Debtors and Secured Lenders objected to the Committee’s Plan. Lowenstein and MFC prepared for a contested confirmation hearing, performing all analysis. However, shortly before the hearing, the Secured Lenders accepted Avenue’s offer to be bought out at approximately 80% of par.

• As a result the Committee’s Plan was uncontested and confirmed in September 2009 To date MNX successfullyAs a result, the Committee s Plan was uncontested and confirmed in September 2009. To date, MNX successfully completed a $250 million high yield offering and has just filed for an IPO, yielding a substantial return to pre-petition creditors.

“Cram-Up” Analysis – Overview of Procedures Performed

• “Secure the Players” – Investors were astute enough to meet with management in person (in y g g p (Korea) and had numerous other discussions. Investors also provided sufficient capital through the rights offering, proposed astute independent directors and installed an incentive plan that was fair and tied to financial forecasts.

• “Block and Tackle Relentlessly” – As will be illustrated in the following discussion, significant analyses were performed with respect to expected semiconductor supply and demand. Such analyses included:

– Review of analyst reports for the comparables and for the industry from most major research firms,

– Review of third party supply and demand forecasts,

– Specific country economic review’s of the Debtors’ major markets and

– Significant financial modeling of the Debtor’s historical performance.g g

• “Defense Trick Plays” – Numerous calls with specialized professionals and the Debtors’ were held in order to reasonably estimate complicated cash requirements such as taxes and administrative claims. The most significant of these was the impact of debt forgiveness on the Debtors’ international operating assets and holding companies.

– Utilized certain subject matter experts including interviews with experts in the appraisal of semiconductor equipment and facilities to support the liquidation valuation and discussions with Mesirow Financial’s currency trading desk to support proposed Korean Won risk exposure.

“Cram-Up” Analysis – Overview of Procedures Performed (continued)

“Th T i l O ti ” F t A th D bt did t j t fi i l lt b d th t fi l• “The Triple Option” Forecast - As the Debtors did not project financial results beyond the current fiscal year, a credible financial forecast had to be developed through the proposed term of five years. As such, MFC developed three cash flow forecasts over a five-year period (“Scenarios”) to determine whether liquidity would be sufficient to fulfill the financial obligations under the Committee’s Plan. The Scenarios included:

– Scenario 1: The Stress Scenario, extrapolated historical financial results with an adjustment for: (i) aScenario 1: The Stress Scenario, extrapolated historical financial results with an adjustment for: (i) a significant increase in CAPX, (ii) closure of a material money loosing business unit and (iii) material cost reductions implemented by Management.

– Scenario 2: The Comparable Scenario extrapolated recent financial performance based on analyst earnings estimates of the comparable group.

– Scenario 3: The Statistical Scenario extrapolated future revenue growth based on the Debtors’ analysis correlating the Debtors’ historical revenue growth to the weighted average GDP of the top five industrial nations. All other key financial variables, such as CAPX and EBITDA multiples were estimated based on significant historical analysis.

• “Attack the Big Uglies” – For each scenario, the following analysis was performed to support fairness, adequate protection and proposed secured debt terms:

– Performed a credit rating analyses to determine the credit quality of the Senior Secured Debt and compared the offered interest rate against the yield of certain market based measures.

– Performed an estimate of TEV using the discounted cash flow (“DCF”), market comparable and comparable transaction approaches on a fair market value basis.

These two activities represented the bulk of the analyses performed. These

“Triple Option Forecast” (The Stress Scenario)

• The Stress scenario modeled conditions, in many respects used by S&P in determining the lowest investment grade rating “BBB” hi h i l d d (i) A GDP d li f h 3% (ii) l t f 10% d (iii) d i th t k k t“BBB”, which included: (i) A GDP decline of as much as 3%, (ii) unemployment of 10% and (iii) a drop in the stock market by up to 50%.

– These conditions were resident, for the most part, in the twelve months ended June 30, 2009.

– This scenario extrapolated the Debtor’s future cash use based on recent financial results subject to a few material and credible pro-forma adjustmentsand credible pro-forma adjustments.

– The conservative nature of this scenario was demonstrated by the fact that 2009 was, as indicated in the charts below, was a low point in both normalized historical demand and expected demand. Other research on the supply side indicated that a record amount of semiconductor supply was shuttered in 2009.

– End market analysis – percentage of revenue was derived from consumer, industrial or other (such as defense) end markets

– Product type – percentage of revenue by type (memory, power, logic)

– Position in the supply chain – focus on design/patent protected products vs. subcontract/process capability

– Geographic dispersion of end market revenue

• As indicated in the table below, a representative sample of companies reasonably comparable to MNX was derived. The analyst estimates for revenue and EBITDA were the key inputs into this Scenario. Note that, generally, a limited number of

“Attack the Big Uglies” – Enterprise Valuation

• Enterprise valuation supports both fairness and adequate protection.

• The forecast is the most important input into any valuation. Generally, valuations are limited in forecast analyses and scenarios. Using multiple scenarios across multiple valuation methods provides a well supported valuation.

• The results shown in the table below are heavily dependent on the comparable group, therefore its importance can not be underestimated. In contested matters in which valuation plays a role, attacking individual companies in the comparable group can be a useful approach Even when using the discounted cash flow method (“DCF”) comparables play angroup can be a useful approach. Even when using the discounted cash flow method ( DCF ), comparables play an integral role. For example, comparables determine:

– The appropriate debt to equity ratios since this parameter must be market based

– Betas (integral in the cost of capital analysis)

T i l l lti l ll th l t t f th t i l i th DCF th d– Terminal value multiples, generally the largest component of the enterprise value using the DCF method.

• Other “best practice” valuation techniques that are often overlooked in contested matters include: (i) use of predictive betas vs. historical; (ii) use of 20 year maturity government debt for the risk free rate; and (iii) use of the perpetuity growth in calculating a terminal value.

Reinstatement – What is it?

De-acceleration of a debtor's prepetition loan, and continuation of the original terms and

maturity of such loan pursuant to a plan bymaturity of such loan, pursuant to a plan, by curing prepetition defaults on the loan and

not otherwise altering the legal, equitable, or contractual rights of the holders of the loan.

Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP 28

Page 29: Bankruptcy Reorganization Plan Strategies: Reinstatement ...

Reinstatement – Generally

• Sections 1123 and 1129 permit a debtor to leave claims unimpaired in a plan.

• To reinstate a prepetition obligation pursuant to section 1124(2), the l t tplan proponent must:

– Cure any prepetition defaults (other than ispo facto defaults);

– Compensate the lender for any damages incurred as a result of bl li th l ti f th bli tireasonable reliance on the acceleration of the obligation;

– Compensate the lender for any actual pecuniary loss arising from the failure to perform a nonmonetary obligation; and

E th t th l d t “ th i lt th l l– Ensure that the plan does not “otherwise alter the legal, equitable, or contractual rights” of the lender.

Reinstatement – Generally (cont‘d)

• Creditors cannot be elevated to better position than their prepetition entitlements. Butner v. United States, 440 U.S. 48, 55 (1979). Th li d l i i 1124(2) i h i i• The policy underlying section 1124(2) is that, in instances where a plan proponent is willing to cure past defaults and perform under the original terms of the agreement, the claimant receives the benefit of its bargain.

• Thus, the claimant is not impaired even if the plan alters the claimant’s rights by preventing the claimant from using a contractual or legal right of acceleration to terminate a valuable contract of the debtorvaluable contract of the debtor.

• Because the claimant of an obligation reinstated pursuant to section 1124(2) is not impaired, the claimant is deemed to accept the plan and is not allowed to vote on the plan.

Reinstatement – Divergent Perspectives

• The benefits available to a debtor under section 1124(2) are readily apparent – the debtor may reinstate a defaulted debt obligation to its original and now below-market terms.

• From a lender’s perspective, reinstatement of debt at now below-market terms may counter the lender’s expectation that prepetition defaults would provide the opportunity to renegotiate the terms of the debt to align it with prevailingrenegotiate the terms of the debt to align it with prevailing market terms.

• Thus, what may be viewed by a debtor as an excellent opportunity to preserve a lower cost of capital may beopportunity to preserve a lower cost of capital, may be viewed by a lender as the functional equivalent of a coerced loan.

• The senior lenders opposed reinstatement, arguing, among other things, that the proposed treatment of the junior debt would result in incurable defaults under the senior credit agreement namely violations of provisions governingagreement – namely violations of provisions governing permitted refinancings and changes of control.

• Unlike in Charter, the Spectrum court never ruled on the issue of reinstatement as Spectrum and the lenders settled the issueof reinstatement, as Spectrum and the lenders settled the issue following a five-day contested confirmation hearing.

Reinstatement – Lessons Learned

• In light of these recent cases, all parties in interest must consider the possibility of reinstatement:

– Distressed companies may elect to file bankruptcy prior to committing an incurable default to preserve their ability to reinstate debt under a plan.incurable default to preserve their ability to reinstate debt under a plan.

– Purchasers of debt that is at risk of being reinstated should be compensated for the risk through a purchase price discount.

– Potential investors seeking to implement a “loan-to-own” strategy with t t di t d d bt t d t d th i t frespect to a distressed company or debtor must understand the impact of

reinstatement when considering which level of the capital structure in which to invest.

– Inclusion of a change of control covenant in loan agreement may effectively prevent involuntary restatementprevent involuntary restatement.

– Junior creditors also should be cognizant of the potential for reinstatement, as it may be the deciding factor between such creditors receiving a recovery under the plan and receiving no recovery at all.

• Section 1129(b)(2)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code sets forth three non-exclusive “fair and equitable” requirements for non consensual treatment of secured debt:

i. Secured claimants (a) retain their liens, and (b) receive deferred cash payments with a present value equal to the lesser of the total claim or the value of the collateral, or

ii. Sale of the collateral free and clear of liens by a process which permits the secured creditor to credit bid, or

November 17, 201021080334_1/045045

• To satisfy the requirement that the deferred payments equal the present value of the collateral, courts must fix an interest rate.- The court is not bound by the contract interest rate. Section

1123(a)(5)(H) specifically authorizes a bankruptcy court to change interest rates or other terms in securities, (which is defined to include promissory notes)defined to include promissory notes).

- US Supreme Court discussed post confirmation interest rates in the context of a Chapter 13 plan. Till v. SCS Credit Corporation, 541 U.S. 465 (2004).Corporation, 541 U.S. 465 (2004).

- Court in Till suggested that when selecting an interest rate for deferred payments in Chapter 11, “it might make sense to ask what an efficient market would produce”.

November 17, 201021080334_1/045046

Page 47: Bankruptcy Reorganization Plan Strategies: Reinstatement ...

• Thus, bankruptcy courts rely on expert testimony in fixing the cram up interest rate on deferred secured creditor payments. Most courts will apply a market rate, and if no market exists the court uses the prime rate and adjusts that rate for risk.

• The Bankruptcy Code similarly authorizes modification ofThe Bankruptcy Code similarly authorizes modification of covenants, and debtors will develop a covenant package that will enable its expert to testify that its proposed rate is a market ratemarket rate.

• Best place to start in designing a covenant package is the existing agreement.

November 17, 201021080334_1/045047

Page 48: Bankruptcy Reorganization Plan Strategies: Reinstatement ...

• In today’s low interest rate environment, the ability of a Bankruptcy Court to reset terms to a market rate can be a significant benefit.

• Thus, the deferred cash payment technique can be very useful. But the creditor must retain its liens. If the secured creditor has a lien on all assets, it will impair thecreditor has a lien on all assets, it will impair the reorganized debtors ability to obtain additional working capital or other financing.

• Indubitable equivalent -1129(b)(2)(A)(iii)- Plan of reorganization proponents can solve this problem by

utilizing the “indubitable equivalent” prong contained in 1129(b)(2)(A)(iii).

- Recent cases confirmed plans using cram up notes, but allowing collateral to be stripped away where the court was satisfied the restructured debt would be repaid.

November 17, 201021080334_1/045049

Page 50: Bankruptcy Reorganization Plan Strategies: Reinstatement ...

• Overview of Indubitable Equivalent:- The term derives from a Learned Hand bankruptcy decision

which held that the secured creditor is concerned with principal repayment, and is therefore entitled to be repaid or receive possession of its collateral. If the creditor is deprived of these rights it must receive a substitute of “indubitable equivalence”.

- Thus, to satisfy 1129(b)(2)(A)(iii) the Plan treatment must provide assurance of receipt of the value of the underlying collateral.

November 17, 201021080334_1/045050

Page 51: Bankruptcy Reorganization Plan Strategies: Reinstatement ...

- To use the “indubitable equivalent” technique the plan must: (1) protect the creditors principal and (2) provide the present value of the creditors claim. In re TCI 2 Holdings, LLC, 428 B R 117 (B k N J 2010)B.R. 117 (Bankr. N.J. 2010).

- As the 3rd Circuit majority explained in the Philadelphia Newspaper case, citing to Websters Dictionary, that “i d bit bl ” t t ti d bt d“indubitable” means not open to question or doubt and “equivalent” means equal in value. The value that is protected in the secured creditor context is the value of the collateral. Thus a plan that provides a secured creditor with theThus, a plan that provides a secured creditor with the unquestionable value of its collateral can be confirmed under 1129(b)(2)(A)(iii).

November 17, 201021080334_1/045051

Page 52: Bankruptcy Reorganization Plan Strategies: Reinstatement ...

• Failed Attempts at Indubitable Equivalent Plans:- A distribution of equity in the reorganized debtor is not the indubitable

equivalent of a secured claim as a matter of law. In re TM Monroe Manor Assoc. Ltd., 140 B.R. 298 (Bankr. N.D.

This is consistent with the legislative history of 1129 which indicates that equity or unsecured debt is not theof 1129 which indicates that equity or unsecured debt is not the indubitable equivalent of a secured claim.

- “Dirt for debt” plans: In the 90’s, Debtors proposed plans which provided that a secured claim would be satisfied by the transfer of a portion of the collateral, valued by the bankruptcy court at the amount of the secured claim. These types of plans are not confirmable. A court valuation is not a substitute for payment or bargained for security In re Arnold & Baker Farms 85 F 3d 1415 (1996)

In re Wiersma, 324 B.R. 92 (B.A.P. 9th Cir. 2005) Thi i t t th t l th t b tit t d ll t l2005). This is not to say that a plan that substituted collateral is unconfirmable under all circumstances.

• In that case, the debtor confirmed a plan over the secured creditor’s objection using §1129(b)(2)(A)(iii) of the Code by providing the secured creditor with a restructured first lien facility with a four year term and PIK (payment in kind) interest at 12.5 percent, such that there would be no cash payments until maturity. p y y
