Background Information

On April 29, 2014, Energy Future Holdings Corp. (“EFH Corp.”) and the substantial majority of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Energy Future Intermediate Holding Company LLC (“EFIH”), Energy Future Competitive Holdings Company LLC (“EFCH”) and Texas Competitive Electric Holdings Company LLC (“TCEH”), but excluding Oncor Electric Delivery Holdings Company LLC and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, filed voluntary petitions for relief (the “Bankruptcy Filing”) under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). During the pendency of the Bankruptcy Filing, EFH Corp. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries that are included in the Bankruptcy Filing (collectively, the “Debtors”) are operating their businesses as debtors-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

On April 14, 2015, the Debtors filed a joint plan of reorganization (the “Initial Plan”) pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and a related disclosure statement with the Bankruptcy Court. The Initial Plan, among other things, provided for a taxable deconsolidation or spin-off of reorganized TCEH with an intended tax treatment, as described in the Initial Plan (the “Reorganized TCEH Spin-Off”) and the reorganization of EFH Corp. and EFIH either (a) as contemplated by a Bankruptcy Court approved bidding process (the “Bidding Process”) for the sale of EFH Corp.’s indirect economic interest in Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC (“Oncor”), (b) pursuant to a standalone plan of reorganization or (c) pursuant to a creditor back-stopped plan of reorganization. Following the filing of the Initial Plan, the Debtors conducted the Bidding Process. Ultimately, the Debtors determined that they were not prepared to enter into a definitive agreement for any of the bids they received in connection with the Bidding Process.

On July 23, 2015, the Debtors filed an amended joint plan of reorganization pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and a related amended disclosure statement with the Bankruptcy Court. The amended plan and amended disclosure statement continued to contemplate the Reorganized TCEH Spin-Off and the reorganization of EFH Corp. and EFIH either pursuant to (a) a standalone plan of reorganization or (b) a creditor back-stopped plan of reorganization (such contemplated transactions, the “EFH/EFIH Transaction”). The amended plan of reorganization was further amended on August 3, 2015, which provided more information regarding the standalone reorganization alternative.

Following negotiations with various creditor groups and third parties regarding a plan of reorganization for the Debtors, on August 9, 2015, the Debtors filed a third amended joint plan of reorganization (the “Third Amended Plan”) and a disclosure statement for the Third Amended Plan (the “Disclosure Statement”) with the Bankruptcy Court. The Third Amended Plan provides, among other things, for the Reorganized TCEH Spin-Off and a creditor and third party back-stopped EFH/EFIH Transaction described in this Current Report on Form 8-K/A. The Third Amended Plan and Disclosure Statement are available at www.efhcaseinfo.com. Other information on or connected to this website does not constitute part of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A. The Third Amended Plan and Disclosure Statement are attached as Exhibits 99(a) and 99(b) to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.

The Third Amended Plan and the Disclosure Statement contain or discuss certain projections of TCEH’s financial performance for fiscal years 2015 through 2020, the same projections that were included in the disclosure statement filed with the Bankruptcy Court in April 2015 by the Debtors with updated explanatory notes, and certain projections of Oncor financial performance for fiscal years 2015 through 2022, which were part of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on August 3, 2015 (collectively, the “Projections”). The Debtors do not, as a matter of course, publish their business plans, budgets or strategies, or distribute external projections or forecasts of their anticipated financial position or results of operations. Holders of claims against the Debtors are urged to refer to the limitations and qualifications included in the Disclosure Statement with respect to the Projections. Information contained in the Third Amended Plan and the Disclosure Statement is subject to change, whether as a result of amendments, actions of third parties, or otherwise.

The Bankruptcy Code does not permit solicitation of acceptances of a plan of reorganization until the Bankruptcy Court approves the applicable disclosure statement relating to the plan of reorganization. Accordingly,

this Current Report on Form 8-K/A is not intended to be, nor should it be construed as, a solicitation for a vote on the Third Amended Plan. There can be no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will approve the Disclosure Statement, that the Debtors’ stakeholders will approve the Third Amended Plan, or that the Bankruptcy Court will confirm the Third Amended Plan. The Debtors will emerge from Chapter 11 if and when a plan of reorganization receives the requisite approval from holders of claims, an order confirming the plan of reorganization is entered by the Bankruptcy Court and certain conditions to the effectiveness of the plan of reorganization, as stated therein, are satisfied.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Plan Support Agreement

On August 9, 2015, each of the Debtors entered into a Plan Support Agreement (the “Plan Support Agreement”) with various of their respective creditors, the sponsor equity owners of EFH Corp., the statutory committee of unsecured creditors of the TCEH Debtors and EFH Corporate Services, and other third parties in order to effect an agreed upon restructuring of the Debtors pursuant to the Third Amended Plan. Pursuant to the Plan Support Agreement, the parties agreed, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Plan Support Agreement, to support the Debtors’ proposed restructuring pursuant to the Third Amended Plan.

Under the terms of the Third Amended Plan, among other things and subject to certain conditions and required regulatory approvals:

 

    TCEH will execute a transaction that will result in a partial step-up in the tax basis of certain TCEH assets;

 

    the Reorganized TCEH Spin-Off will occur;

 

    a consortium (collectively, the “Investor Group”) consisting of certain TCEH unsecured creditors, an affiliate of Hunt Consolidated, Inc. (“Hunt”) and certain other investors designated by Hunt will acquire (the “EFH Acquisition”) reorganized EFH Corp. (“Reorganized EFH”);

 

    in connection with the EFH Acquisition, (i) the Investor Group will invest or raise approximately $12.6 billion of equity and debt financing (as described below), (ii) a successor to Reorganized EFH will be converted to a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code and (iii) all allowed claims against EFH Corp. and the EFIH Debtors will be repaid in full (excluding any claims derived from or based upon makewhole, applicable premium, redemption premium or other similar payment provisions, or any other alleged premiums, fees, or claims relating to the repayment of claims and unsecured claims for post-petition interest in excess of the federal judgment rate of interest, each of which will be disallowed under the Third Amended Plan; and

 

    the Debtors, its sponsor equity owners, certain settling TCEH first lien creditors, certain settling TCEH second lien creditors, certain settling TCEH unsecured creditors and the official committee of unsecured creditors of the TCEH Debtors (collectively, the “Settling Parties”) agreed to settle disputes, claims and causes of actions set forth in the Settlement Agreement described below.

Under certain circumstances, including if the EFH Acquisition is not completed, certain of the parties to the Plan Support Agreement are required not to object to or interfere with a backup plan of reorganization so long as it meets certain minimum conditions. Portions of the Plan Support Agreement may be terminated upon the occurrence of certain events described in the Plan Support Agreement. In addition, the Plan Support Agreement may be terminated if certain creditor parties holding a defined percentage ownership of claims against the Debtors have not executed the Plan Support Agreement on or before August 31, 2015. In addition, under the Plan Support Agreement, the supporting parties have committed to support the inclusion of releases with respect to the claims described in the Settlement Agreement in the context of an alternative plan (which would become effective when the plan becomes effective). Under the Plan Support Agreement, the Debtors will seek Bankruptcy Court approval of the Plan Support Agreement.

The above description of the Plan Support Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan Support Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10(a) to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A. The Plan Support Agreement is available at www.efhcaseinfo.com. Other information on or connected to this website does not constitute part of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.

Settlement Agreement

The Settling Parties entered into a settlement agreement dated as of August 9, 2015 (the “Settlement Agreement”) to compromise and settle, among other things (a) intercompany claims among the Debtors; (b) claims and causes of actions against holders of first lien claims against TCEH and the administrative agent and collateral agent under TCEH’s pre-petition secured credit agreement; (c) claims and causes of action against holders of interests in EFH Corp. and certain related entities; and (d) claims and causes of action against each of the Debtors’ current and former directors, managers and officers, and other related entities. The Settlement Agreement contemplates a release of such claims upon approval of the Settlement Agreement by the Bankruptcy Court, and the release of such claims would remain effective regardless of whether the EFH Acquisition is completed.

The Debtors expect to seek Bankruptcy Court approval of the Settlement Agreement at the confirmation hearing for the Third Amended Plan.

The above description of the Settlement Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Settlement Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10(b) to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A. The Settlement Agreement is available at www.efhcaseinfo.com. Other information on or connected to this website does not constitute part of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.

Merger and Purchase Agreement

On August 9, 2015, EFH Corp. and EFIH entered into a Purchase Agreement and Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger and Purchase Agreement”) with two acquisition entities, Ovation Acquisition I, L.L.C. (“OV1”) and Ovation Acquisition II, L.L.C. (collectively, the “Purchasers”), which are controlled by the Investor Group.

Pursuant to the Merger and Purchase Agreement, at the effective time of the Third Amended Plan and immediately after consummation of the Reorganized TCEH Spin-Off, the Investor Group will acquire Reorganized EFH through a series of transactions set forth in the Merger and Purchase Agreement.

The Merger and Purchase Agreement contemplates that funds received by the Purchasers pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letter, pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letter and from the Rights Offering and Backstop, (each as defined below) will be used to facilitate the acquisition of Reorganized EFH and fully satisfy the allowed claims of holders of claims and interests in EFH Corp. and EFIH in cash pursuant to the Third Amended Plan and, if applicable, to complete the TTI Acquisition (as defined below).

The Merger and Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties and interim operating covenants that are customary for an agreement of this nature. The Merger and Purchase Agreement also includes various conditions precedent to consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby. The Purchasers’ conditions precedent include, among other things, a condition that certain approvals and rulings be obtained, including from, among others, the Public Utility Commission of Texas (the “PUCT”) and the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), that are necessary to consummate the acquisition and convert a successor to Reorganized EFH into a REIT. Subject to limited exceptions, the Purchaser will not be required to consummate the EFH Acquisition or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger and Purchase Agreement if, among other items, (a) the PUCT approval is obtained but with conditions, commitments or requirements that, among other things, subject the operations of Oncor to any restriction, limitation, condition or obligation that differs materially and adversely from those currently applicable to Oncor or would prevent Oncor from recovering in rates material expenditures recovered by Oncor in its rates consistent with its past practices or (b) a private letter ruling from the IRS is not obtained by EFH Corp. with certain required rulings as set forth in the Merger and Purchase Agreement.

 

4


The Merger and Purchase Agreement may be terminated upon certain events, including, among other things, (a) by either party, if certain termination events occur under the Plan Support Agreement, including if the EFH Acquisition is not completed by April 30, 2016, subject to extension to June 30, 2016 or August 31, 2016 under certain conditions, (b) by EFH Corp. or EFIH if their respective board of directors or managers determines in good faith after consultation with its outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel that proceeding with the transactions contemplated by the Merger and Purchase Agreement would be inconsistent with its applicable fiduciary duties or (c) by the Purchasers if EFH Corp. or EFIH fails to meet various milestones related to the Debtors’ bankruptcy cases or otherwise materially breaches the Merger and Purchase Agreement. If the Merger and Purchase Agreement is terminated for any reason (including, among other things, due to failure to complete the EFH Acquisition within the timeframes described therein), except in limited circumstances, the Purchasers and the Investor Group will have no liability to the Debtors thereunder. Except in limited circumstances, EFH Corp. and EFIH have waived their respective rights under the Merger and Purchase Agreement to seek any legal or equitable remedies (including money damages and specific performance) against the Purchasers or the Investor Group.

EFH Corp.’s and EFIH’s respective obligations under the Merger and Purchase Agreement are subject in all respects to the prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court. Under the terms of the Plan Support Agreement, the Debtors expect to seek Bankruptcy Court approval of the Merger and Purchase Agreement.

The above description of the Merger and Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger and Purchase Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10(c) to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A. The Merger and Purchase Agreement is available at www.efhcaseinfo.com. Other information on or connected to this website does not constitute part of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.

Rights Offering

As contemplated by the Third Amended Plan, prior to the effective time of the Third Amended Plan, OV1 will conduct an offering of equity rights (each, a “Right,” and such offering, the “Rights Offering”) to holders of unsecured debt claims, second lien debt claims, general unsecured claims and first lien secured claims against TCEH (the “Rights Offering Participants”) enabling the Rights Offering Participants to purchase an aggregate of $5,787,250,000 of common stock of OV1 (as the successor by merger of Reorganized EFH), of which $5,087,250,000 of such common stock will be offered to holders of unsecured debt claims, second lien debt claims, and general unsecured claims against TCEH, and $700,000,000 of such common stock will be offered to holders of first lien secured claims against TCEH. The issuance of all or a portion of the Rights (and related shares of common stock) is expected to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and the issuance of any remaining portion of the Rights (and related shares of common stock) will be conducted in a private placement pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements provided by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase the Rights.

Pursuant to a Backstop Agreement, dated as of August 9, 2015 (the “Backstop Agreement”), among certain investors named therein and their permitted assignees (the “Backstop Purchasers”), EFH Corp., EFIH and OV1, the Backstop Purchasers have agreed to backstop $5,087,250,000 of Rights offered to certain of the Rights Offering Participants (the “Backstop”). The obligation of the Purchasers to release the funds received in the Rights Offering from escrow is subject to satisfaction of the conditions to the completion of the EFH Acquisition as set forth in the Merger and Purchase Agreement and the Backstop Agreement. If the Backstop Agreement is terminated for any reason, the Backstop Purchasers will have no liability to the Debtors thereunder. EFH Corp. and EFIH have waived their respective rights under the Backstop Agreement to seek any legal or equitable remedies (including money damages and specific performance) against the Backstop Purchasers.

EFH Corp.’s and EFIH’s respective obligations under the Backstop Agreement are subject in all respects to the prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court. The Debtors expect to seek Bankruptcy Court approval of the Backstop Agreement.

The above description of the Backstop Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Backstop Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10(d) to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A. The Backstop Agreement is available at www.efhcaseinfo.com. Other information on or connected to this website does not constitute part of this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

Other Equity Funding Arrangements

In connection with the execution of the Merger and Purchase Agreement, each member of the Investor Group (collectively, the “Equity Commitment Parties”) delivered (a) an equity commitment letter (the “Equity Commitment Letter”) in favor of EFH Corp. (including Reorganized EFH), EFIH and the Purchasers pursuant to which, among other things, the Equity Commitment Parties committed, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, to invest in one or more of the Purchasers an aggregate amount equal to $2,012,750,000 (assuming the TTI Acquisition (as described below) is completed), and (b) a limited guarantee (the “Guarantee”) in favor of EFH Corp. (including Reorganized EFH) and EFIH pursuant to which, among other things, each such Equity Commitment Party committed, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, to pay its pro rata share of all fees, costs or expenses payable by the Purchasers under the Merger and Purchase Agreement or under the Third Amended Plan if such fees, costs or expenses become payable pursuant thereto. The aggregate liability of the Equity Commitment Parties under the Guarantee is capped at $35.0 million. The obligation of the Equity Commitment Parties to fund their equity commitments under the Equity Commitment Letter is subject to satisfaction of the conditions to the completion of the EFH Acquisition as set forth in the Merger and Purchase Agreement and the Equity Commitment Letter. If the Equity Commitment Letter is terminated for any reason, the Equity Commitment Parties will have no liability to the Debtors under the Equity Commitment Letter. Except in limited circumstances, EFH Corp. and EFIH have waived their respective rights under the Equity Commitment Letter to seek any legal or equitable remedies (including money damages and specific performance) against the Equity Commitment Parties.

Debt Funding Arrangements

On August 9, 2015, in connection with the execution of the Merger and Purchase Agreement, the Investor Group entered into a commitment letter (the “Debt Commitment Letter”) with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. (the “Debt Commitment Lender”) pursuant to which the Debt Commitment Lender committed to fund up to $5.5 billion under a senior secured term loan facility and $250 million under a senior secured bridge loan facility to reorganized EFIH and its subsidiaries at the closing of the EFH Acquisition. The obligations of the Debt Commitment Lender to fund the debt commitment are subject to (a) satisfaction of the conditions to the completion of the EFH Acquisition as set forth in the Merger and Purchase Agreement and (b) the funding contemplated by the Equity Commitment Letters.

TTI Acquisition

In connection with, and in furtherance of, the EFH Acquisition and the Rights Offering, the Purchasers, EFH Corp. and EFIH have formulated a plan to create and implement an IPO Conversion (as such term is defined in the Investor Rights Agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement”), dated as of November 5, 2008, among Oncor and certain of its direct and indirect equityholders, including EFH Corp. and Texas Transmission Investment LLC (“TTI”)), pursuant to which one of the Purchasers, as the successor to Reorganized EFH as a result of the EFH Acquisition, would serve as an IPO Corporation (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) (the “IPO Conversion Plan”). In connection with the execution of the Merger and Purchase Agreement, the Purchasers have delivered to EFH Corp. an offer to purchase substantially all of the outstanding IPO Units (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) in the IPO Corporation and all of the LLC Units (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) in Oncor held by TTI (the “TTI Acquisition”). Unless the Purchasers have otherwise acquired, or entered into a definitive agreement with TTI for the acquisition by the Purchasers of the LLC Units held by TTI at the consummation of the EFH Acquisition, EFH Corp. may be required under the terms of the Merger and Purchase Agreement to exercise certain rights contained in the Investor Rights Agreement to require TTI to sell its LLC Units to the Purchasers in connection with the EFH Acquisition.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, are forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Although we believe that in making any such forward-looking statement our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, any such forward-looking statement involves uncertainties and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the discussion of risk factors under “Risk Factors” and the discussion under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed by each of EFH Corp., EFIH, EFCH and Oncor and the following important factors, among others, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking statements:

 

    our ability to obtain the approval of the Bankruptcy Court with respect to motions filed in our Chapter 11 cases, including with respect the Third Amended Plan and Disclosure Statement, and the outcomes of Bankruptcy Court rulings and our Chapter 11 cases in general;

 

    the effectiveness of the overall restructuring activities pursuant to the Bankruptcy Filing and any additional strategies we employ to address our liquidity and capital resources;

 

    whether the conditions (including required regulatory approvals) to consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Third Amended Plan will be satisfied or obtained;

 

    the actions and decisions of creditors, regulators and other third parties that have an interest in our Chapter 11 cases; and

 

    restrictions on us due to the terms of debtor-in-possession financing facilities and restrictions imposed by the Bankruptcy Court.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only at the date on which it is made, and except as may be required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which it is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them; nor can we assess the impact of each such factor or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. As such, you should not unduly rely on such forward-looking statements.

(a) it will not propose, file, support, vote for, or take any other action in furtherance of, and will vote against (if entitled to vote) any Alternative Restructuring with respect to one or more of the TCEH Debtors (other than any Alternative Restructuring solely with respect to one or more TCEH Debtors whose total assets are less than 2.5% of the consolidated total assets, or whose revenues are less than 2.5% of the consolidated revenues, of all the TCEH Debtors as of the date of such Alternative Restructuring), as applicable, that does not contain or otherwise implement the following terms (the “Required TCEH Alternative Terms”):

(i) upon consummation of such an Alternative Restructuring, holders of Allowed TCEH First Lien Deficiency Claims, Allowed TCEH Unsecured Note Claims, Allowed TCEH Second Lien Note Claims, Allowed PCRB Claims, and Allowed General Unsecured Claims Against the TCEH Debtors Other Than EFCH shall receive, in the aggregate, $550 million in Cash (which shall be subject to reduction only pursuant to Section 11 of this Agreement and Section 2.7 of the Settlement Agreement, and shall not otherwise be subject to dilution or reduction as a consequence of any claim or liability incurred as a result of any act, event or transaction) (the “TCEH Cash Payment”). The TCEH Cash Payment shall be made (i) from the Cash on hand at the TCEH Debtors and, if none (or if Cash on hand is insufficient to make the full amount of the TCEH Cash Payment), the first proceeds of any sale, transfer, or other disposition of, or any financing or similar transaction secured or supported by the Prepetition Collateral (as defined in the Cash Collateral Order) (the “TCEH Cash Payment Carve Out”) and (ii) before any payment or other distribution (including transfer) is made in connection with such an Alternative Restructuring to the holders of Allowed TCEH First Lien Claims (the “TCEH First Lien Creditors”); provided, however, that the TCEH Cash Payment Carve Out shall be subordinate in all respects to: (a) the RCT Reclamation Support Carve Out (as defined in the Cash Collateral Order); (b) the Carve Out (as defined in the Cash Collateral Order); and (c) the Permitted Liens (as defined in the Cash Collateral Order).

For the avoidance of doubt, any distribution of the TCEH Cash Payment that would otherwise be made to or received by holders of Allowed TCEH First Lien Deficiency Claims pursuant to this Section 6.1(a)(i) shall be subject to Section 6.1(a)(ii) of this Agreement;

(ii) the TCEH First Lien Creditors and the TCEH First Lien Agent will waive any recovery or distribution on account of (but not voting rights in respect of) the Allowed TCEH First Lien Deficiency Claims (including any recovery or distribution provided for in Section 6.1(a)(i)) (the “Limited Waiver”) for the benefit of the holders of Allowed TCEH Unsecured Note Claims, Allowed TCEH Second Lien Note Claims, and Allowed General Unsecured Claims Against the TCEH Debtors Other Than EFCH (collectively, the “Beneficiary-Claimants”), such that any payment or other distribution (including transfer) that would otherwise have been made to, or for the benefit of, one or more of the TCEH First Lien Creditors on account of their Allowed TCEH First Lien Deficiency Claims pursuant to an Alternative Restructuring will instead be paid or distributed pro rata to the Beneficiary-Claimants on the basis of the amounts of their respective Allowed Claims; provided, however, that, (x) if the Bankruptcy Court (or other court of competent jurisdiction) determines that the Limited Waiver cannot be for the benefit of only the Beneficiary-Claimants or (y) if each of the Required TCEH Unsecured Noteholders, the Required TCEH Second Lien Noteholders, and the TCEH Official Committee agree, in consultation with the Consenting TCEH First Lien Creditors, then the Limited Waiver shall be for the benefit of the Beneficiary-Claimants and such other holders of Allowed Unsecured Claims against the TCEH Debtors as ordered by such court or agreed by the Required TCEH Unsecured Noteholders, the Required TCEH Second Lien Noteholders, and the TCEH Official Committee, in consultation with the Consenting TCEH First Lien Creditors, but in no event shall include the holders of Allowed TCEH First Lien Deficiency Claims, such that any payment or other distribution (including transfer) that would otherwise have been made to, or for the benefit of, one or more of the TCEH First Lien Creditors on account of their Allowed TCEH First Lien Deficiency Claims pursuant to an Alternative Restructuring will instead be paid or distributed pro rata to the Beneficiary-Claimants and such other holders of Allowed Unsecured Claims against the TCEH Debtors on the basis of the amounts of their respective Allowed Claims. For the avoidance of doubt, the Limited Waiver shall not increase the aggregate amount of payments, distributions, or transfers required pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i) and only relates to the allocation of such payments, distributions and transfers as between the holders of Allowed Unsecured Claims against the TCEH Debtors;

(a) During the period beginning on the Agreement Effective Date and ending on the Agreement Termination Date (as defined in Section 12 hereof) applicable to the Party (such period, the “Agreement Effective Period”), neither Consenting Interest Holders, any Investor Party, nor any Consenting TCEH Creditor Party shall sell, use, pledge, assign, transfer, or otherwise dispose of (each, a “Transfer”) any ownership (including any beneficial ownership)4 in its respective Debtor Claims/Interests, general partnership interests in Texas Holdings, or interests in TEF (but not including, for the avoidance of doubt, limited partnership interests in Texas Holdings) (the “Supporting Claims/Interests”), unless all of the following requirements are satisfied (a transfer that satisfies such requirements, a “Permitted Transfer,” and such transferee, a “Permitted Transferee”):

(i) the intended transferee executes and delivers to counsel to the other Parties on the terms set forth below an executed joinder agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (a “Joinder Agreement”) before such Transfer is effective; and

(ii) the intended transferee, the intended transferee’s affiliates, and/or any unaffiliated third-party in which the intended transferee has a direct or indirect beneficial ownership, or any group of persons acting pursuant to a plan or arrangement as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.355-6(c)(4) (provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.355-6(c)(4)(ii), none of the Investor Parties, Consenting Interest Holders or Consenting TCEH Creditor Parties will be treated as acting pursuant to a plan or arrangement as a result of its being a Party or participating in the Plan and the other Restructuring Transactions, or the Alternative Plan, as applicable), will not, after giving effect to such Transfer, and assuming the Plan and the other Restructuring Transactions were to be consummated immediately upon such Transfer, have beneficial ownership of, in the aggregate, fifty percent (50%) or more of the Reorganized TCEH Common Stock or the Reorganized EFH Common Stock.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as a Transfer by an Investor Party, Consenting Interest Holder, or Consenting TCEH Creditor Party (i) is to an Investor Party, Consenting Interest Holder or Consenting TCEH Creditor Party that is not in breach of its obligations under this Agreement and remains a Party to this Agreement, and (ii) would comply with Section 7(a)(ii), above, then such Transfer shall be a Permitted Transfer, and such transferee a Permitted Transferee, without the requirement of executing and delivering a Joinder Agreement.

 

4  As used herein, the term “beneficial ownership” means the direct or indirect economic ownership of, and/or the power, whether by contract or otherwise, to direct the exercise of voting rights and the disposition of, the Supporting Claims/Interests or the right to acquire such Supporting Claims/Interests.

 

31


(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) the foregoing provisions shall not preclude an Investor Party, Consenting Interest Holder, or Consenting TCEH Creditor Party from settling or delivering securities or bank debt that would otherwise be subject to the terms of this Agreement to settle any confirmed transaction pending as of the date of such Party’s entry into this Agreement (subject to compliance with applicable securities laws and it being understood that such securities or bank debt so acquired and held (i.e., not as a part of a short transaction) shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement; (ii) a Qualified Marketmaker5 that acquires any of the Supporting Claims/Interests with the purpose and intent of acting as a Qualified Marketmaker for such Supporting Claims/Interests, shall not be required to execute and deliver a Joinder Agreement or otherwise agree to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement if such Qualified Marketmaker Transfers such Supporting Claims/Interests (by purchase, sale, assignment, participation, or otherwise) as soon as reasonably practicable, and in no event later than the earlier of (A) seven (7) Business Days prior to any voting deadline established by the Bankruptcy Court with respect to the Plan or any Alternative Plan and (B) twenty (20) Business Days of its acquisition, to a Permitted Transferee and the Transfer otherwise is a Permitted Transfer (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the requirement that such transferee execute a Joinder Agreement in accordance with Section 7(a)); (iii) to the extent any Party is acting solely in its capacity as a Qualified Marketmaker, it may Transfer any ownership interests in the Supporting Claims/Interests that it acquires from a holder of such Supporting Claims/Interests that is not a Party to a transferee that is not a Party at the time of such Transfer without the requirement that such transferee be or become a signatory to this Agreement or execute a Joinder Agreement; and (iv) a Consenting TCEH Creditor Party may Transfer any Supporting Claims/Interests pursuant to or in connection with any repurchase transaction, reverse repurchase transaction, or any swap or other derivative transaction without satisfying the requirements set forth in this Section 7 only if, in connection with such Transfer, the Consenting TCEH Creditor Party (or a wholly-owned subsidiary controlled by it) retains the contractual right to exercise any voting right or other direction that may be made on account of such Supporting Claims/Interests, and such Consenting TCEH Creditor Party exercises (or causes its wholly-owned subsidiary controlled by it to exercise) such rights so that the Transferred Supporting Claims/Interests are voted in accordance with this Agreement and the transferee thereof does not otherwise take any action inconsistent with such Consenting TCEH Creditor Party’s obligations under this Agreement. For purposes of subclause (iv), a Person shall be deemed to “control” another person if such person possesses, directly or indirectly, the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such other Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise.

(c) This Agreement shall in no way be construed to preclude any Investor Party, Consenting Interest Holder or Consenting TCEH Creditor Party from acquiring additional Supporting Claims/Interests; provided, however, that (i) any Investor Party, Consenting Interest Holder or Consenting TCEH Creditor Party that acquires additional Supporting

(d) This Section 7 shall not impose any obligation on any Debtor to issue any “cleansing letter” or otherwise publicly disclose information for the purpose of enabling a Party to Transfer any Supporting Claims/Interests. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the Debtors and another Party have entered into a separate agreement with respect to the issuance of a “cleansing letter” or other public disclosure of information in connection with any proposed restructuring transactions (each such executed agreement, a “Confidentiality Agreement”), the terms of such Confidentiality Agreement shall continue to apply and remain in full force and effect according to its terms.

(e) Any Transfer made in violation of this Section 7 shall be void ab initio. Upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Section 7(a), the applicable Permitted Transferee shall be and shall be deemed to be a Party hereunder to the extent of such transferred Supporting Claims/Interests and with respect to all other Supporting Claims/Interests held by such Permitted Transferee; provided, however, that a Permitted Transferee of any E-Side Claims held by GSO or Avenue shall be and shall be deemed to be a Party hereunder solely to the extent of such transferred E-Side Claims (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any other Supporting Claims/Interests held by such Permitted Transferee unless already subject to this Agreement). Any Party that effectuates a Permitted Transfer to a Permitted Transferee shall have no liability under this Agreement arising from or related to the failure of the Permitted Transferee to comply with the terms of this Agreement.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement shall not modify the rights of Parties to transfer their rights and obligations under the Equity Commitment Letter and Backstop Agreement, which shall be governed by the terms of the Equity Commitment Letter and Backstop Agreement, respectively.

This Agreement shall terminate automatically without any further required action or notice with respect to all Parties on the earlier to occur of the Effective Date of the Plan and the consummation of an Alternative Restructuring.

 

12.10 Effect of Termination.

No Party may terminate this Agreement, and no Party may be counted among the Required Investor Parties, Investor Parties, Required TCEH Creditor Parties, Consenting TCEH Creditor Parties or Consenting Interest Holders, as applicable, for purposes of terminating this Agreement if such Party failed to perform or comply in all material respects with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and such failure to perform or comply caused, or resulted in, the occurrence of one or more termination events specified herein. The date on which termination of this Agreement as to a Party is effective in accordance with Section 12 shall be referred to as an “Agreement Termination Date.” Upon the occurrence of an Agreement Termination Date as to a Party (but only as to such Party), except as expressly provided in this Agreement, (i) this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect with respect to such Party, (ii) each Party subject to such termination shall be released from its commitments, undertakings, and agreements under this Agreement and shall have the rights that it would have had, had it not entered into this Agreement, and shall be entitled to take all actions, whether with respect to the Restructuring Transactions or otherwise, that it would have been entitled to take had it not entered into this Agreement, and (iii) the remaining Parties to this Agreement, if any, shall be released from any commitments, undertaking, and agreements owed to such terminated Party under this Agreement; provided, however, that this Section 12.10, Section 5.2, Section 10(j), Section 14.4, Section 14.6, Section 14.8, Section 14.10, Section 14.12, and Section 14.14 shall survive termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit any of the Parties from contesting whether any such termination is in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing herein is intended to, or does, in any manner waive, limit, impair, or restrict any right of any Party, or the ability of any Party to protect and preserve its rights, remedies, and interests, including its claims against any Debtor or any other Party. Nothing in this Section 12.8 shall restrict any Debtor’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 12.6(h).

In addition, and for the avoidance of doubt, the termination rights and effect of termination provided for under this Section 12 apply only to this Agreement (without reference to the exhibits). The applicable termination rights and effect of termination of other agreements between or among any of the Parties, including those attached to this Agreement as exhibits, are governed according to the respective terms and conditions of such agreements.

 

53


12.11 No Violation of Automatic Stay.

The automatic stay applicable under section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code shall not prohibit a Party from taking any action necessary to effectuate the termination of this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 13. Amendments.

This Agreement may not be modified, amended, or supplemented in any manner except:

(a) during the Plan Support Effective Period, in writing signed by (i) the Required Investor Parties; (ii) the Required TCEH Creditor Parties; (iii) all of the undersigned Consenting Interest Holders; (iv) each of the Debtors; and (v) the TCEH Official Committee; provided, however, that if the proposed modification, amendment, or supplement has a material, disproportionate, and adverse effect on any Party (in any capacity), then the consent of each such disproportionately affected Party shall also be required to effectuate such modification, amendment, or supplement; and

(b) during the Alternative Restructuring Support Period, if any, in writing signed by (i) the Debtors; (ii) the Required TCEH Creditor Parties; (iii) all of the undersigned Consenting Interest Holders; and (iv) the TCEH Official Committee; provided, however, that if the proposed modification, amendment, or supplement has a material, disproportionate, and adverse effect on any Party (in any capacity), then the consent of each such disproportionately affected Party shall also be required to effectuate such modification, amendment, or supplement.

Any proposed modification, amendment, or supplement that is not approved in accordance with this Section 13 shall be ineffective and void ab initio. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations and requirements for amendment, modification or supplementation provided for in this Section 13 apply only to this Agreement (without reference to the exhibits). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the applicable limitations and requirements to modify, amend, supplement, or waive any provision of other agreements between or among any of the Parties, including those attached to this Agreement as exhibits, are governed according to the respective terms and conditions of such agreements and must also comply with Sections 3.1 and 3.2 hereof, as applicable.

Section 14. Miscellaneous.

Subject to the other terms of this Agreement, the Parties agree to execute and deliver such other instruments and perform such acts, in addition to the matters herein specified, as may be reasonably appropriate or necessary, or as may be required by order of the Bankruptcy Court, from time to time, to effectuate the Plan and the Restructuring Transactions, or, after the Plan Support Termination Date, the Alternative Restructuring, as applicable.

 

54


14.2 Complete Agreement.

This Agreement, including any exhibits, annexes, and/or schedules hereto and the exhibits, annexes, and/or schedules thereto, and the Settlement Agreement, constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and nullifies all prior agreements, oral or written, among the Parties with respect thereto, including any agreements related to Alternative Proposals.

14.4 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the Parties shall be governed by, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof. Each Party hereto agrees that it shall bring any action or proceeding in respect of any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Chosen Court”), and solely in connection with claims arising under this Agreement: (i) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and the authority of the Chosen Court; (ii) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action or proceeding in the Chosen Court; and (iii) waives any objection that the Chosen Court is an inconvenient forum, does not have jurisdiction over any Party hereto, or lacks the constitutional authority to enter final orders in connection with such action or proceeding.

(b) Each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether based on contract, tort, or any other theory). Each Party (i) certifies that no representative, agent, or attorney of any other Party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other Party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other Parties have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 14.4.

 

14.5 Execution of Agreement.

This Agreement may be executed and delivered in any number of counterparts and by way of electronic signature and delivery, each such counterpart, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute the same agreement. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, each individual executing this Agreement on behalf of a Party has been duly authorized and empowered to execute and deliver this Agreement on behalf of such Party.

 

55


14.6 Interpretation and Rules of Construction.

This Agreement is the product of negotiations among the Parties and in the enforcement or interpretation hereof, is to be interpreted in a neutral manner, and any presumption with regard to interpretation for or against any Party by reason of that Party having drafted or caused to be drafted this Agreement, or any portion hereof, shall not be effective in regard to the interpretation hereof. The Parties were each represented by counsel during the negotiations and drafting of this Agreement and continue to be represented by counsel. In addition, this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with section 102 of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

14.7 Successors and Assigns.

This Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, as applicable. There are no third party beneficiaries under this Agreement, and the rights or obligations of any Party under this Agreement may not be assigned, delegated, or transferred to any other person or entity except as otherwise expressly permitted herein.

14.9 Independent Due Diligence and Decision Making.

Each Party hereby confirms that its decision to execute this Agreement has been based upon its independent investigation of the operations, businesses, financial and other conditions, and prospects of the Debtors with the advice of its own counsel and advisors.

 

14.10 Waiver.

If the Plan or, if applicable, an Alternative Restructuring is not consummated, or if this Agreement is terminated for any reason, the Parties fully reserve any and all of their rights, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408 and any other applicable rules of evidence, this Agreement and all negotiations relating hereto, including with respect to the Plan and Restructuring Transactions and an Alternative Restructuring, shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than a proceeding to enforce its terms or to pursue the consummation of the Plan and Restructuring Transactions or, if applicable, an Alternative Restructuring.

 

59


14.11 Specific Performance.

It is understood and agreed by the Parties that money damages would be an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by any Party, that such breach would represent irreparable harm, and that each non-breaching Party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief (without the posting of any bond and without proof of actual damages), but no other form of equitable relief, as the sole and exclusive remedy of any such breach, including an order of the Bankruptcy Court or other court of competent jurisdiction requiring any Party to comply promptly with any of its obligations hereunder; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Party shall be entitled to seek or obtain specific performance of any obligations of any Investor Party (in its capacity as such) to consummate the Plan or consummate and close the Restructuring Transactions, whether such obligations may arise under this Agreement, the Merger Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter, the Backstop Agreement, or any other Definitive Restructuring Document; provided further, however, for the avoidance of doubt, that the foregoing shall not limit any Party’s right to obtain specific performance of another Party’s obligations under Section 6 of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the remedies provided for in this Section 14.11 apply only to this Agreement (without reference to the exhibits). The applicable remedies for breaches of other agreements between or among any of the Parties, including those attached to this Agreement as Exhibits, are governed according to the terms of such agreements.

 

14.12 Several, Not Joint, Claims.

The agreements, representations, warranties, and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement are, in all respects, several and not joint.

 

14.13 No Waiver of Participation and Preservation of Rights.

Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing herein is intended to, does or shall be deemed in any manner to waive, limit, impair, or restrict the ability of each of the Parties to protect and preserve its rights, remedies, and interests, including its Debtor Claims/Interests and its full participation in the Chapter 11 Cases so long as, in each case, such actions are not inconsistent with the Party’s obligations under this Agreement, the Plan, the other Definitive Restructuring Documents, or, if the Plan Support Termination Date occurs, the Alternative Restructuring or the Alternative Restructuring Documents, as applicable. Furthermore, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit any Party from appearing as a party in interest in any matter to be adjudicated in the Chapter 11 Cases, so long as such appearance and the positions advocated in connection therewith are consistent with this Agreement and are not for the purpose of, and could not reasonably be expected to have the effect of, hindering, delaying, or preventing the timely consummation of the Plan or, if the Plan Support Termination Date occurs, an Alternative Restructuring, as applicable.

 

60


14.14 Relationship Among Parties.

Each of the Investor Parties and Consenting TCEH Creditor Parties acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding any prior history, pattern, or practice of sharing confidences among or between the Investor Parties or Consenting TCEH Creditor Parties, no Investor Party or Consenting TCEH Creditor Party shall have any responsibility for any trading, investment, or voting decision with respect to any security by any other entity by virtue of this Agreement. The Investor Parties and Consenting TCEH Creditor Parties hereby represent and warrant they have no agreement, arrangement, or understanding with respect to acting together for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting, or disposing of any equity securities of the Debtors and do not constitute a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. No action taken by any Investor Party or Consenting TCEH Creditor Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute or to create a presumption by any of the Parties that the Investor Parties or Consenting TCEH Creditor Parties are in any way acting in concert or as such a “group.”

 

14.15 Severability and Construction.

If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect if essential terms and conditions of this Agreement for each Party remain valid, binding, and enforceable.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have caused this Agreement to be executed and delivered by their respective duly authorized officers, solely in their respective capacity as officers of the undersigned and not in any other capacity, as of the date first set forth above.

EXHIBIT G

MECHANICS RELATING TO THE PREFERRED STOCK SALE

Identification of Potential Preferred Stock Sale Assets. As promptly as is reasonably practicable after the Agreement Effective Date,1 the Consenting TCEH First Lien Creditors, the Investor Parties, and the Debtors shall attempt to identify assets that could potentially be contributed in the Preferred Stock Sale and shall appoint a mutually acceptable valuation expert to provide a valuation report for each such identified asset. Such Parties shall attempt to obtain updated valuation reports for each asset that is proposed to be included in the Preferred Stock Sale no more than thirty (30) days prior to the Effective Date. Furthermore, the Debtors shall provide to the Consenting TCEH First Lien Creditors and the Investor Parties for their review an estimate of the tax basis of each such asset and a projection of such tax basis on the Effective Date, which projection shall be periodically updated.

Estimated Tax Attributes. At least one hundred and twenty (120) days prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors shall provide to the Consenting TCEH First Lien Creditors and the Investor Parties for their review an estimate of the Agreed Tax Attributes (as defined below), as well as all documents (including all schedules and worksheets) used by the Debtors to determine such estimate. The Consenting TCEH First Lien Creditors, the Investor Parties, and EFH shall negotiate in good faith to determine a reasonable estimate of the Agreed Tax Attributes (the “Agreed Estimated Tax Attributes”). If such Parties cannot agree, any disputes shall be resolved by the Accounting Firm pursuant to the Dispute Resolution provisions described below.

Determination of Expected Gain and Selection of Assets for Preferred Stock Sale. As promptly as is reasonably practicable after the date when the Consenting TCEH First Lien Creditors, the Investor Parties, and the Debtors determine the Agreed Estimated Tax Attributes, the Consenting TCEH First Lien Creditors shall determine the amount of gain that is intended to be recognized, which amount shall not be greater than the excess of (i) the Agreed Estimated Tax Attributes over (ii) $500,000,000 (such excess, the “Maximum Gain”). Following such determination by the Consenting TCEH First Lien Creditors, the Debtors shall provide the Consenting TCEH First Lien Creditors and the Investor Parties for their review a proposed list of assets to include in the Preferred Stock Sale, such list to be comprised only of assets for which a valuation was obtained as described above. The Consenting TCEH First Lien Creditors and the Investor Parties shall select the assets to be included in the Preferred Stock Sale from the assets on the list, to be selected so as to not generate gain in excess of the Maximum Gain (based on the valuation and tax basis figures with respect to such assets determined in accordance with this Exhibit G).

Formula Clause Approach. The Debtors, the Investor Parties, and the Consenting TCEH First Lien Creditors shall, in good faith, discuss the implementation of a formula-based approach to setting the amount of taxable gain realized in connection with the Preferred Stock Sale (the “Formula Clause Approach”). Under such an approach, the Debtors would propose that the precise percentage of certain assets to be transferred in connection with the Preferred Stock Sale would be based on a formula. Such formula would be designed to ensure that the aggregate fair

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Exhibit G have the meaning ascribed to such terms in (a) the Plan, which is attached to the Plan Support Agreement as Exhibit A, or (b) if not defined in the Plan, then the Plan Support Agreement to which this Exhibit G is attached.


market value of all of the assets transferred equals the sum of the tax basis of such assets plus the Agreed Tax Attributes (adjusted for the Maximum Gain), all as further agreed upon with the IRS as part of a pre-filing agreement or determined by the bankruptcy court or the IRS under the prompt determination of taxes procedure; provided, however, that if no agreement with the IRS is reached pursuant to such procedures and the bankruptcy court does not make a determination, the assets transferred in connection with the Preferred Stock Sale would be adjusted at such future time as ultimately determined pursuant to IRS audit and review procedures. For the avoidance of doubt, the Formula Clause Approach will be utilized only upon the agreement of the Debtors, the Investor Parties, and the Consenting TCEH First Lien Creditors.

Dispute Resolution. In the event of any dispute between the Debtors, the Investor Parties, and the Consenting TCEH First Lien Creditors as to any matter covered by the foregoing provisions of this Exhibit G, except for the Formula Clause Approach as discussed above (if applicable), the Consenting TCEH First Lien Creditors, the Investor Parties, and the Debtors shall appoint a nationally recognized independent public accounting firm (the “Accounting Firm”) to resolve such dispute. In this regard, the Accounting Firm shall make determinations with respect to the disputed items based solely on representations made by such Parties and their respective representatives, and not by independent review, and shall function only as an expert and not as an arbitrator and shall be required to make a determination in favor of one Party only. Such Parties shall require the Accounting Firm to resolve all disputes no later than thirty (30) days after the submission of such dispute to the Accounting Firm and agree that all decisions by the Accounting Firm with respect thereto shall be final and conclusive and binding on the Parties. The Accounting Firm shall resolve all disputes in a manner consistent with this Agreement. Such Parties shall require the Accounting Firm to render all determinations in writing and to set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for such determination. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by TCEH, on the one hand, and EFH, on the other hand.

Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Exhibit G,

 

  (a) Agreed Tax Attributes” means 100% of the aggregate amount of net losses, net operating losses, and net capital losses (but only to the extent such net capital losses are deductible under applicable tax law against gain recognized on the Preferred Stock Sale) (in each case, including carryovers), available to the EFH Group as of the Effective Date (determined (a) as if the “consolidated year” (within the meaning of Section 1503(e)(2)(B) of the Code) of the EFH Group ended on the Effective Date and (b) without regard to any income, gain, loss or deduction generated as a result of the Preferred Stock Sale or transactions occurring outside the ordinary course of business on the Effective Date after the Preferred Stock Sale (other than any Deferred Intercompany and ELA Items (if any) and other transactions expressly contemplated by the Plan and the other Definitive Restructuring Documents)), such amount to be mutually agreed on by EFH, the Investor Parties, and the Consenting TCEH First Lien Creditors; and

 

  (b) Deferred Intercompany and ELA Items” means intercompany items (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-13(b)(2)) and excess loss accounts (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-19(a)), in each case, of any subsidiary of TCEH (other than TCEH Finance) that are accelerated into income as a result of the Distribution pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-13(d) or Section 1.1502-19.

(a) Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the Debtors, the Required TCEH Creditor Parties, and the TCEH Official Committee (including pursuant to the Plan Support Agreement), upon consummation of an Alternative Restructuring of any or all of the TCEH Debtors (other than any TCEH Debtor whose total assets are less than 2.5% of the consolidated total assets, or whose total revenues are less than 2.5% of the consolidated revenues, of the TCEH Debtors as of the date of such Alternative Restructuring), holders of Allowed TCEH First Lien Deficiency Claims, Allowed TCEH Unsecured Note Claims, Allowed TCEH Second Lien Note Claims, Allowed PCRB Claims, and Allowed General Unsecured Claims Against the TCEH Debtors Other Than EFCH shall receive, in the aggregate, $550 million in Cash (which shall be subject to reduction only pursuant to (i) Section 10 of the Plan Support Agreement and (ii) Section 2.7 of this Settlement Agreement, and shall not otherwise be subject to dilution or reduction as a consequence of any claim or liability incurred as a result of any act, event or transaction) (the “TCEH Cash Payment”). The TCEH Cash Payment shall be made (i) from the Cash on hand at the TCEH Debtors and, if none (or if Cash on hand is insufficient to make the full amount of the TCEH Cash Payment), the first proceeds of any sale, transfer, or other disposition of the Prepetition Collateral (as defined in the Final Cash Collateral Order) (including the first proceeds of any financing or similar transaction secured or supported by the Prepetition Collateral) (the “TCEH Cash Payment Carve Out”) and (ii) before any payment or other distribution (including transfer) is made in connection with such an Alternative Restructuring to the holders of Allowed TCEH First Lien Claims; provided, however, that the TCEH Cash Payment Carve Out shall be subordinate in all respects to: (a) the RCT Reclamation Support

 

13


Carve Out (as defined in the Final Cash Collateral Order); (b) the Carve Out (as defined in the Final Cash Collateral Order); and (c) the Permitted Liens (as defined in the Final Cash Collateral Order). For the avoidance of doubt, any distribution of the TCEH Cash Payment that would otherwise be made to or received by holders of Allowed TCEH First Lien Deficiency Claims pursuant to this Section 2.2(a), if applicable, shall be subject to Section 2.2(b) of this Settlement Agreement.

(b) Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the Debtors, the Required TCEH Creditor Parties, and the TCEH Official Committee, in connection with the Plan or upon consummation of an Alternative Restructuring, the TCEH First Lien Agent and the Settling TCEH First Lien Creditors will waive any recovery or distribution on account of (but not voting rights in respect of) such Allowed TCEH First Lien Deficiency Claims (including on account of any recovery or distribution provided for in Section 2.2(a) of this Settlement Agreement) (the “Limited Waiver”) for the benefit of the holders of Allowed TCEH Unsecured Note Claims, Allowed TCEH Second Lien Note Claims, and Allowed General Unsecured Claims Against the TCEH Debtors Other Than EFCH (collectively, the “Beneficiary-Claimants”), such that any payment or other distribution (including transfer) that would otherwise have been made to, or for the benefit of, one or more of the TCEH First Lien Creditors on account of their Allowed TCEH First Lien Deficiency Claims pursuant to the Plan or an Alternative Restructuring will instead be paid or distributed pro rata to the Beneficiary-Claimants on the basis of the amounts of their respective Allowed Claims; provided, however, that, (x) if the Bankruptcy Court (or other court of competent jurisdiction) determines that the Limited Waiver cannot be for the benefit of only the Beneficiary-Claimants, or (y) the Required TCEH Unsecured Noteholders, the Required TCEH Second Lien Noteholders, and the TCEH Official Committee each agree, in consultation with the Required TCEH First Lien Creditors, that the Limited Waiver should benefit any non-Beneficiary-Claimants (in whole or in part), then the Limited Waiver shall be for the benefit of the Beneficiary-Claimants and such other holders of Allowed Unsecured Claims against the TCEH Debtors as ordered by such court or agreed to by the Required TCEH Unsecured Noteholders, the Required TCEH Second Lien Noteholders, and the TCEH Official Committee, in consultation with the Required TCEH First Lien Creditors, but in no event shall include the holders of Allowed TCEH First Lien Deficiency Claims, such that any payment or other distribution (including transfer) that would otherwise have been made to, or for the benefit of, one or more of the TCEH First Lien Creditors on account of their Allowed TCEH First Lien Deficiency Claims pursuant to the Plan or an Alternative Restructuring will instead be paid or distributed pro rata to the Beneficiary-Claimants and such other holders of Allowed Unsecured Claims against the TCEH Debtors on the basis of the amounts of their respective Allowed Claims. For the avoidance of doubt, the Limited Waiver shall not increase the aggregate amount of payments, distributions or transfers required pursuant to Section 2.2(a) of this Settlement Agreement and only relates to the allocation of such payments, distributions and transfers as between the holders of Allowed Unsecured Claims against the TCEH Debtors.

(c) Effective upon the occurrence of the Settlement Effective Date, each of the Debtors and their Estates, the Settling Interest Holders, the Settling TCEH Unsecured Noteholders, the TCEH Unsecured Notes Trustee (if made a Party hereto), the Settling TCEH Second Lien Noteholders, the TCEH Second Lien Notes Trustee (if made a Party hereto), the TCEH Official Committee, each such Entity’s respective current and former affiliates, and each

Each Party hereto agrees that it shall bring any action or proceeding in respect of any claim arising out of or related to this Settlement Agreement in the Bankruptcy Court, and solely in connection with claims arising under this Settlement Agreement: (i) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and the constitutional authority of the Bankruptcy Court; (ii) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action or proceeding in the Bankruptcy Court; and (iii) waives any objection that the Bankruptcy Court is an inconvenient forum, does not have jurisdiction over any Party hereto, or lacks the constitutional authority to enter final orders in connection with such action or proceeding; provided, however, that this Settlement Agreement and the releases set forth herein may be submitted in any court, arbitration, and/or other legal proceeding to enforce the terms of such releases.

(b) Each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of, or relating to, this Settlement Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether based on contract, tort, or any other theory).

3.10 No Admission of Liability.

Each Party enters into this Settlement Agreement without admitting any liability or conceding any allegations not already expressly admitted. This Settlement Agreement and its provisions shall not be offered or received in evidence in any action or proceeding as an admission or concession of liability or wrongdoing of any nature on the part of any Party except that it may be offered and received in evidence solely to enforce this Settlement Agreement.

 

3.11 Third-Party Beneficiaries.

3.13 Entire Agreement.

This Settlement Agreement, including any exhibits, annexes and/or schedules hereto and the exhibits, annexes, and/or schedules thereto, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties concerning the subject matter of this Settlement Agreement and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, between and among the Parties concerning the subject matter of this Settlement Agreement. Each of the Parties hereto acknowledges that it is executing this Settlement Agreement without reliance on any representations, warranties or commitments other than those representations, warranties and commitments expressly set forth in this Settlement Agreement.

 

3.14 Modification or Amendment.

This Settlement Agreement may be modified or amended only by written agreement executed by (i) the Required TCEH Creditor Parties, (ii) all of the undersigned Settling Interest Holders, (iii) the Debtors and (iv) the TCEH Official Committee; provided, however, that if the proposed modification, amendment, or supplement has a material, disproportionate, and adverse effect on any Settling Creditor (in its capacity as a TCEH First Lien Creditor, holder of TCEH Unsecured Note Claims, or holder of TCEH Second Lien Note Claims), then the consent of each such disproportionately affected Settling Creditor shall also be required to effectuate such modification, amendment, or supplement.

 

3.15 Further Assurances.

From and after the Settlement Effective Date, each of the Parties agrees to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to execute or cause to be executed and deliver or cause to be delivered all such agreements, instruments and documents and take or cause to be taken all such further actions as may reasonably be necessary from time to time to carry out the intent and purpose of this Settlement Agreement, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

 

38


3.16 Successors and Assigns.

Except as otherwise provided in this Settlement Agreement, this Settlement Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of each of the Parties and each of their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and representatives.

 

3.17 Interpretation.

This Settlement Agreement is the product of negotiations among the Parties, and the enforcement or interpretation of this Settlement Agreement is to be interpreted in a neutral manner and in accordance with section 102 of the Bankruptcy Code; and any presumption with regard to interpretation for or against any Party by reason of that Party (or its counsel) having drafted or caused to be drafted this Settlement Agreement or any portion of this Settlement Agreement, shall not be effective in regard to the interpretation of this Settlement Agreement.

 

3.18 Settlement Discussions.

This Settlement Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein are part of a proposed settlement among the Parties. Nothing herein shall be deemed an admission of any kind. To the extent provided by Federal Rule of Evidence 408, all applicable mediation privileges, and any applicable state rules of evidence, this Settlement Agreement and all negotiations relating thereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than a proceeding to enforce the terms of this Settlement Agreement.

 

3.19 Specific Performance.

It is understood and agreed by the Parties that money damages would be an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Settlement Agreement by any Party, that such breach would represent irreparable harm, and that each non-breaching Party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief (without the posting of any bond and without proof of actual damages), but no other form of equitable relief, as the sole remedy for any such breach, including an order of the Bankruptcy Court or other court of competent jurisdiction requiring any Party to comply promptly with any of its obligations hereunder; provided, that each Party agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of a bond in connection with such remedy.

 

3.20 Headings.

Titles and headings in this Settlement Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to affect the interpretation or construction of the Settlement Agreement.

 

3.21 Execution of Agreement.

This Settlement Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and by the different Parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall constitute an original. Delivery of an executed counterpart by facsimile or electronic mail shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart.

 

39


3.22 Non-Severability of Agreement.

This Settlement Agreement is to be construed as a whole, and all provisions of it are to be read and construed together. Notwithstanding anything in this Settlement Agreement or the Settlement Order to the contrary, and in light of the integrated nature of the settlements and compromises embodied in this Settlement Agreement and the Settlement Order, in the event that (a) a court of competent jurisdiction enters a final order ruling that any of the provisions of this Settlement Agreement or the Settlement Order are void, invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any material respect, or (b) any of the provisions of this Settlement Agreement or the Settlement Order are reversed, vacated, overturned, voided, or unwound in any material respect, then in each case, the entirety of this Settlement Agreement (other than this Section 3.22) shall be void ab initio and of no force and effect and, during any subsequent proceeding, the Parties shall not assert claim preclusion, issue preclusion, estoppel or any similar defense in respect of rights and claims of the Parties that were the subject of this Settlement Agreement prior to this Settlement Agreement being of no force or effect; provided, however, that, the Settlement Agreement being rendered void ab initio and of no force and effect in accordance herewith shall not impair the force and effect of the Plan Support Agreement or any order authorizing the Debtors entry into the Plan Support Agreement.

Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock;

Exchange of Certificates

Section 4.1 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Reorganized Company, Parent, the holders of any Common Stock, the holders of any equity interests in Parent or any other Person:

(a) Merger Consideration. On the terms set forth in this Agreement and the Plan of Reorganization, each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (a “Share” or, collectively, the “Shares”), other than Excluded Shares (as defined below), shall be converted into one Parent Common Share (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”), which shares shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (except to the extent that such non-assessability is limited by the MGCL or the DGCL, as the case may be). All such Shares (other than Excluded Shares), when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such Shares (other than Excluded Shares) (each a “Certificate”) and each holder of Shares (other than Excluded Shares) held in uncertificated book-entry form (the “Book-Entry Shares”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Parent Common Shares.

(b) Cancellation of Excluded Shares. Each Share owned by Parent, the Company or any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company (each, an “Excluded Share”) shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and retired without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist.

(c) Parent Common Shares. Each Parent Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding.

Section 4.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent and Exchange Procedures. Prior to the First Closing, Parent shall enter into an exchange agent agreement with an exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) to act as exchange agent, registrar and transfer agent for the purpose of exchanging Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, other than Excluded Shares, for the Per Share Merger Consideration applicable thereto. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time and in any event not later than the fifth (5th) Business Day following the Effective Time, Parent shall issue, or cause to be issued, to each holder of record of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Shares (other than Excluded Shares), pursuant to such documentation and procedures as Parent shall determine, that number of Parent Common Shares (which shall be in uncertificated book-entry form through a direct registration system maintained by Parent, except to the extent that a Purchaser Transaction Party requests in writing delivery of a Certificate), that such holder

 

10


has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article IV, and each Certificate or Book-Entry Share (other than Excluded Shares) shall be canceled at the Effective Time. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares (other than Excluded Shares) that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the proper number of Parent Common Shares may be issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate or Book-Entry Share so surrendered is registered if such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such issuance shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of Parent Common Shares to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until exchanged as contemplated by this Section 4.2(a), each Certificate and Book-Entry Share (other than Excluded Shares) shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such exchange the Per Share Merger Consideration, which the holder thereof has the right to receive in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. No interest shall be paid or will accrue on the Per Share Merger Consideration.

(b) Transfers. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Reorganized Company or the Surviving Company of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate or Book-Entry Share (other than Excluded Shares) is presented to the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent for transfer, it shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Per Share Merger Consideration to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to and in accordance with this Article IV, together with any unpaid distributions thereon with a record date on or after the Effective Time payable at such time in accordance with Section 4.2(g).

(c) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Company, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be required by the Surviving Company as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will treat such Person as having delivered his, her or its Certificate for purposes of Section 4.2(a).

(d) Withholding Rights. The Surviving Company and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted to the applicable Governmental Entity, and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be.

(e) No Further Ownership Rights in the Shares. The Parent Common Shares issued upon the surrender of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares (other than Excluded Shares) shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.

 

11


(f) No Liability. None of Parent, OV2, the Equity Commitment Parties, the Company, EFIH, the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives and agents shall be liable to any Person in respect of any Parent Common Shares, any unpaid distributions with respect thereto with a record date after the Effective Time, in each case delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificate or Book-Entry Shares shall not have been surrendered prior to such date as the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration or any distributions payable with a record date on or after the Effective Time with respect to any Parent Common Share would escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, any such Per Share Merger Consideration and distributions shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Company, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(g) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. After the Merger, no dividends or other distributions with respect to the Parent Common Shares with a record date on or after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share that has not been properly exchanged in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 4.1 and this Section 4.2 until such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares is surrendered for exchange in accordance with this Article IV. Subject to the effect of applicable Law, following exchange of any such Certificate or Book Entry Shares, there shall be paid to the holder of the Parent Common Shares issued in exchange therefor, without interest, at the time of such surrender, any unpaid distributions with a record date on or after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to such Parent Common Shares.

reduce the amount or availability of the Debt Financing (other than as may be permitted pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 1.3 and as set forth on Section 1.1 of the Parent Disclosure Letter)) (as amended, modified, supplemented, replaced or extended from time to time after the date of this Agreement in compliance with Section 6.17, the “Fee Letter”).

(ii) The Purchasers have delivered to the Company true, correct and complete copies of the executed Plan Support Agreement, the executed Backstop Agreement, the Guarantee and the executed Equity Commitment Letter, each dated on or about the date of this Agreement, executed by each of the Purchaser Transaction Parties that is party thereto.

(iii) Except as expressly set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, Equity Commitment Letter, the Backstop Agreement and the Guarantee (collectively, the “Commitment Documents”) (or in the unredacted portions of the Fee Letter) delivered to the Company, there are no conditions precedent to the obligations of the Lenders or their respective Affiliates or Equity Commitment Parties to provide the financings contemplated thereby (collectively, the “Financing”) or any contingencies that would permit the Lenders or their respective Affiliates or Equity Commitment Parties to reduce the total amount of the Debt Financing or Equity Financing, as applicable. There are no other agreements, side letters or arrangements relating to the Financing to which either of the Purchasers is a party as of the date of this Agreement which could impose conditions to the funding of the Financing, other than those set forth in the Commitment Documents (or in the unredacted portions of the Fee Letter) and the payment of fees to applicable Lenders and Purchaser Transaction Parties or their respective Affiliates in connection with the Financing. As of the date of this Agreement, assuming the truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company and EFIH contained in this Agreement and the Backstop Agreement, neither Purchaser has any reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy on a timely basis all conditions to be satisfied by it in the Commitment Documents or the Fee Letter at the time it is required to consummate the First Closing hereunder, nor does either Purchaser have knowledge, as of the date of this Agreement, that any of the Lenders or their respective Affiliates or Equity Commitment Parties will not perform their respective funding obligations under the Commitment Documents in accordance with its terms and conditions.

(iv) The Commitment Documents are a valid, binding obligation of each Purchaser and, to the knowledge of each Purchaser, the other parties thereto, are in full force and effect and, no event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time, or both, would reasonably be expected to constitute a default or breach or a failure to satisfy a condition precedent on the part of either Purchaser, or to the knowledge of either Purchaser, any other party thereto under the terms and conditions of the Commitment Documents and Fee Letter. The Purchasers have paid in full any and all commitment fees or other fees required to be paid on or before the date of this Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Commitment Documents and Fee Letter, and will pay in full any such amounts due on or before the First Closing Date pursuant to such terms and the terms of this Agreement. Neither the Commitment Documents nor the Fee Letter have been modified, altered or amended on or prior to the date of this Agreement. None of the commitments under the Commitment Documents have been withdrawn or rescinded prior to the date of this Agreement, nor, as of the date hereof, is any such amendment, modification, withdrawal or rescission currently contemplated or the subject of current discussions.

 

38


(v) After giving effect to the Equity Draw-Down, and assuming that the First Closing Date occurs on or about March 31, 2016, the Purchasers will hold cash contributed (A) by the Equity Commitment Parties pursuant to the Equity Draw-Down and (B) pursuant to the Rights Offering and Backstop Agreement, which amounts, together with the other funding sources referred to in Section 1.4 and cash to be provided by the OV2 Contribution, shall be sufficient to (x) repay 100% of the Interim Financing, (y) fund the Repayment Amount and (z) pay all other amounts payable at the Closings by any Purchaser or the Surviving Company pursuant to or in connection with any Signing Date Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Equity Financing and/or the Transactions.

(g) Purchasers. OV2 was formed solely for the purpose of engaging in the Parent Subject Transactions and activities incidental thereto. All of the outstanding equity securities of Parent and OV2 are owned by a subsidiary of Hunt Consolidated, Inc. (“Hunt”), and at the time of the First Closing will be owned directly or indirectly by the Equity Commitment Parties. Except in connection with its formation, as contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise relating to the Financing or the Transactions, neither Parent nor OV2 has, and prior to the time of the First Closing will not have engaged in any business activities of any type or kind whatsoever or entered into any agreements or arrangements with any Person.

(h) Brokers. Neither Purchaser has employed any broker or finder or incurred any liability for any brokerage fees, commissions or finders’ fees in connection with the Transactions, except that the Purchasers have employed, and are solely responsible for the fees and expenses of, the financial advisors identified in Section 5.2(h) of the Parent Disclosure Letter.

(i) Taxes. As of the date hereof, OV2 is classified and properly treated as a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes and, after giving effect to the First Closing, OV2 will be classified and properly treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Parent is classified and properly treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. Parent and OV2 have not taken or agreed to take any action, and are not aware of any facts or circumstances, in each case, that would prevent or impede, or would reasonably be expected to prevent or impede, the Merger from qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. This Section 5.2(i) contains the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of Parent and OV2 relating to Taxes.

(j) Plant Closings and Mass Layoffs. Neither Parent nor OV2 currently plans or contemplates any plant closings, reductions in force, or terminations of Oncor Employees (as defined below) that would reasonably be expected to give rise to obligations under the WARN Act.

(k) Financing. In no event shall the receipt or availability of any funds or financing by either Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof be a condition to either Purchaser’s obligations hereunder.

 

39


(l) The Offer. Contemporaneous with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent delivered and made the Offer.

(m) Disclaimer of Other Representations and Warranties. EACH PURCHASER (INDIVIDUALLY AND ON BEHALF OF ITS EQUITYHOLDERS) ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT NEITHER THE COMPANY NOR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THE SIGNING DATE AGREEMENTS OR IN ANY CERTIFICATE DELIVERED BY THE COMPANY TO EITHER PURCHASER IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS THEREOF, AND SPECIFICALLY (BUT WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING) THAT, EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THE SIGNING DATE AGREEMENTS, NEITHER THE COMPANY NOR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO (X) ANY PROJECTIONS, ESTIMATES OR BUDGETS OF THE COMPANY OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES DELIVERED OR MADE AVAILABLE TO EITHER PURCHASER (OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES OR REPRESENTATIVES) OF FUTURE (I) REVENUES, (II) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (OR ANY COMPONENT THEREOF), (III) CASH FLOWS OR (IV) FINANCIAL CONDITION (OR ANY COMPONENT THEREOF) OF THE COMPANY AND/OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES OR (Y) THE FUTURE BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY AND/OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES.

For the avoidance of doubt, any proposal by the Company or its Representatives which would otherwise constitute an Alternative Proposal that is not shared by the Company with any third party participant shall not be deemed to be an Alternative Proposal for purposes of this Agreement.

Backup Restructuring Proposal” means any proposal or offer with respect to any one or more alternative restructuring transactions, plans of reorganization, sales, liquidations, or structured dismissals, either filed or to be filed by the Debtors or filed or to be filed or supported by the Required TCEH First Lien Creditors (other than the Plan of Reorganization) that contains the Required Alternative Terms (as such term is defined in the Plan Support Agreement, including any Alternative Restructuring (as defined in the Plan Support Agreement).

Nothing in this Section 6.3(a)(viii) shall prevent, limit or restrict the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ or other Affiliates from interacting,

 

48


communicating or making filings or applications with, or resolving any investigation or other inquiry of, any agency or other Governmental Entity (i) in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice or (ii) in connection with any aspect of the Plan of Reorganization or the Chapter 11 Cases that is not directly related to this Agreement or the Transactions (subject to Section 6.13). The Purchasers, on the one hand, and the Company and EFIH, on the other hand, shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the PUCT Approval and the FERC Approval as expeditiously as possible, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, expressly agree that receipt of such approval from the PUCT or the FERC shall be sufficient to satisfy all conditions relating to any such approval set forth in Article VII hereof, to the extent that the only conditions or requirements to such approval constitute Acceptable Regulatory Conditions.

(ix) In the event that the Company and Parent agree in writing upon the use of common counsel or consultants with respect to the negotiation, preparation or filing of any necessary consent, registration, approval, permits and/or authorizations under this Section 6.3(a)(ix), they shall share equally the fees and expenses of such counsel and consultants. In such case any party who does not pay its full share of such fees and expenses shall reimburse the other party for any such shortfall on a monthly basis to the extent such other party paid more than its share of such fees and expenses. The party to whom such reimbursement is owed shall invoice the other party monthly for such reimbursement expenses and such invoices shall be payable in immediately available funds within thirty (30) days after the receipt thereof.

(b) Information. Subject to Section 6.3(f), the Company and EFIH, on the one hand, and the Purchasers, on the other hand, shall, upon request by the other, furnish the other with all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries (other than the Oncor Entities, subject to Section 6.23), directors, officers and equityholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with any statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of any Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries to or with any third party and/or any Governmental Entity (other than the NRC) in connection with the Transactions.

(c) Status. Subject to Section 6.3(f) and the instructions of any Governmental Entity, the Company and EFIH, on the one hand, and the Purchasers, on the other hand, shall keep the other reasonably apprised of the status of material matters relating to completion of the Transactions, including, upon reasonable request, promptly furnishing the other with copies of notices or other communications received by Parent or OV2 or the Company or EFIH, as the case may be, or any of their Subsidiaries (other than the Oncor Entities, subject to Section 6.23), from any third party and/or any Governmental Entity (other than the NRC or the Bankruptcy Court) with respect to the Transactions. The Company and EFIH will also keep the Purchasers reasonably and regularly advised of the status and progress of, and provide to the Purchasers any information reasonably requested by them regarding, any other consents of Governmental Entities required in connection with the implementation and consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Plan of Reorganization that are related to or could reasonably be expected to affect the Transactions, including any consents or approvals to be granted by the NRC in connection with the Reorganized TCEH Spin-Off and related transactions. Neither the Company nor EFIH shall take any action with respect to the approvals to be granted by the NRC that would be expected to unreasonably delay the consummation of the Transactions.

 

49


(d) Regulatory Matters; Reasonable Best Efforts. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, without limiting the generality of the other undertakings pursuant to this Section 6.3, each of the Company and EFIH and Parent and OV2 shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, the following actions:

(i) the prompt provision to each and every federal, state, local or foreign court or Governmental Entity (including the FCC, the FERC and the PUCT) with jurisdiction over any Company Approvals or Parent Approvals of information and documents reasonably requested by any such Governmental Entity or that are necessary, proper or advisable to permit consummation of the Transactions;

(ii) with respect to the FCC Approval, the FERC Approval and the PUCT Approval, the expiration or earlier termination of any waiting period under the HSR Act applicable to the Transactions, and any other approval or consent of a Governmental Entity arising due to a change in Law after the date of this Agreement, obtain all such necessary approvals and avoid the entry or enactment of any permanent, preliminary or temporary injunction or other Order, decree, decision, determination, judgment or Law, individually or in the aggregate, that would be reasonably likely to restrain, prevent, enjoin, materially restrict, materially impair or otherwise prohibit the Transactions, including Parent and OV2 taking all actions required by, and accepting all conditions and/or requirements imposed under the terms of any, consent, registration, order, approval or authorization issued by any Governmental Entity in connection with the Transactions to the extent that such conditions or requirements constitute an Acceptable Regulatory Condition; and

(iii) in the event that any permanent, preliminary or temporary injunction, decision, Order, judgment, determination, decree or Law is entered, issued or enacted, or becomes reasonably foreseeable to be entered, issued or enacted, in any Action, review or inquiry of any kind that would make consummation of the Transactions unlawful or that would restrain, prevent, enjoin, materially restrict, materially impair or otherwise prohibit consummation of the Transactions, reasonable best efforts to resist, vacate, modify, reverse, suspend, prevent, eliminate, avoid, remove or comply with such actual, anticipated or threatened injunction, decision, Order, judgment, determination, decree or enactment so as to permit prompt consummation of the Transactions.

(e) Notwithstanding the obligations set forth in this Section 6.3, (A) Parent and OV2 shall not be required to, and (B) the Company, EFIH and their Subsidiaries (other than the Oncor Entities, subject to Section 6.23) shall not be permitted to, without the prior written consent of the Purchasers, take any action pursuant to this Section 6.3 in connection with obtaining the FCC Approval, the FERC Approval and the PUCT Approval, the expiration or earlier termination of any waiting period under the HSR Act applicable to the consummation of the Transactions or any approval or consent of a Governmental Entity (other than the Bankruptcy Court or the NRC) in connection with the Transactions (whether arising due to a change in Law after the date of this Agreement or otherwise) if the taking of such efforts or action, individually or in the aggregate, would result in a Burdensome Condition.

 

50


Burdensome Condition(s)” means any condition, order, sanction, requirement or term that, individually or in the aggregate, (i) would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the business, assets, liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of the Company or the Surviving Company and their respective Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or the Oncor Entities, taken as a whole, (ii) subjects the operations of the Company or the Surviving Company and their respective Subsidiaries or the Oncor Entities following the First Closing Date to any restriction, limitation, condition or obligation that differs materially and adversely from those currently applicable to the Oncor Entities, (iii) would prevent Oncor from recovering in rates material expenditures recovered by Oncor in its rates consistent with its past practices, or (iv) subjects any Equity Commitment Party or any of their Affiliates (other than the Company or the Surviving Company or their Subsidiaries or the Oncor Entities) to a requirement to take or refrain from taking any action or make or undertake any payment or to any condition, order, sanction, requirement or term; provided that (A) the Key Regulatory Terms, and (B) any such condition, order, sanction, requirement or term that primarily relates, as indicated on the face of the order or approval, to the Minority Interest Contribution or the EFIH Parent Issuance shall, in each case, not be deemed to be, or contribute to, a Burdensome Condition, and the failure to receive the approval from any Governmental Entity (including the FERC or the PUCT) of the Minority Interest Contribution or the EFIH Issuances shall not be deemed, or contribute to, a Burdensome Condition. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that to the extent any condition or requirement imposed or reimposed on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by any Governmental Entity (other than the Bankruptcy Court) in connection with any approval sought in connection with this Agreement is substantially similar to, or has the same effect as, any condition or requirement imposed on Sharyland Utilities, L.P., Sharyland Distribution and Transmission Services, L.P., or any of their affiliates pursuant to Docket No. 35287 issued by the PUCT on July 21, 2008, such condition or requirement shall not be deemed to be, or contribute to, a Burdensome Condition and, shall be deemed to be an “Acceptable Regulatory Condition.”

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, all information disclosed pursuant to this Section 6.3(f) shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreements and nothing in this Section 6.3(f) shall require any party (i) to violate any of its binding obligations with respect to confidentiality, (ii) to disclose any privileged information or (iii) to violate any applicable Laws or Orders; provided, that, as applicable, each of the Company and EFIH, on the one hand, and the Purchasers, on the other hand, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, provide notice to each other that any information is being withheld pursuant to this provision and shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to find a mutually agreeable solution to any such confidentiality and/or privilege concerns. Nothing in this Agreement, including this Section 6.3, shall require, or be construed to require, Parent, OV2 or any of their Affiliates or any of the Equity Commitment Parties or their respective Affiliates to agree to the sale, license, divestiture, hold separate or other disposition of any assets, categories of assets or business or other segments of the Company, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or of either of the Purchasers or any of the Purchaser Transaction Parties or their respective Affiliates.

Section 6.4 Access and Reports. Subject to applicable Law, upon reasonable notice, each of the Company and EFIH shall, and each shall cause its Subsidiaries (other than the Oncor Entities, subject to Section 6.23) to afford the officers and other Representatives of Parent reasonable access, during normal business hours throughout the period from the date hereof through the earlier of the Termination Date and the First Closing Date, to its employees, properties,

 

51


books, contracts and records and, during such period, each of the Company and EFIH shall, and each shall cause its Subsidiaries (other than the Oncor Entities, subject to Section 6.23) to furnish to Parent all such information concerning its business, properties, facilities, operations and personnel as Parent reasonably requests, provided that no investigation pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall (i) unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries or (ii) affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty made by the Company or any condition to the obligations of the Purchasers contained herein, and provided, further, that the foregoing shall not require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to (a) permit any inspection, or to disclose any information, that in the reasonable judgment of the Company or such Subsidiary would result in the disclosure of any trade secrets of third parties or violate any of its or any of its Subsidiaries’ obligations with respect to confidentiality if the Company or such Subsidiary shall have used reasonable efforts to furnish such information in a manner that does not result in any such disclosure or violation, including obtaining the consent of such third party to such inspection or disclosure; or (b) disclose any privileged information of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries if the Company or such Subsidiary shall have used reasonable best efforts to furnish such information in a manner that does not result in the loss of such privilege. All requests for information made pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall be directed to Evercore Group L.L.C. or the individuals set forth in Schedule 6.4. All such information shall be governed by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreements, which notwithstanding anything to the contrary therein, shall remain in effect until the First Closing Date (but shall terminate and cease to be of any further force or effect on such date as it relates to information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries).

Section 6.5 Publicity. The parties shall consult with each other prior to issuing any press releases or making any public announcements with respect to the Transactions (including any initial press release regarding this Agreement and the Transactions), provided that, subject to Section 6.13(b), the Company and its legal counsel, agents, and representatives shall not be required to consult with the Purchasers prior to making filings on the docket of, or statements on the record before, the Bankruptcy Court relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, provided, further, that the Company, on the one hand, and each Purchaser on the other hand, and their respective Affiliates, may, without the prior consent of the other, but only following consultation with the other to the extent reasonably practicable, issue such public disclosure as may be required by applicable Law to which the disclosing party is subject. Nothing in this Section 6.5 shall supersede or override the obligations contained in Section 6.2(d).

Section 6.6 Employee Benefits.

(a) On the First Closing Date, sponsorship (including assumption of all assets and liabilities thereto) of the Contributed Plans (whether terminated or not) will be transferred to TCEH for further contribution to Reorganized TCEH as part of the TCEH Contribution; provided that, except as otherwise set forth in the Amended and Restated Split Participant Agreement (as defined below), none of Parent, OV2, any Oncor Entity or any of their Affiliates shall assume or otherwise incur any liability or obligation under any compensatory, severance or similar arrangement in respect of any Non-Oncor Employee (as defined below), it being understood that Reorganized TCEH and Oncor shall enter into the Amended and Restated Split Participant Agreement.

 

52


For purposes of Section 6.6(a):

Non-Oncor Employee” means consistent with past practices (i) any individual employed by TCEH, Reorganized TCEH or any of their Affiliates immediately following the Spin-Off Date or (ii) any individual formerly employed by TCEH or any Affiliate of TCEH or Reorganized TCEH (which for this purpose would constitute an Affiliate immediately following the First Closing Date);

Oncor Employee” means consistent with past practices (i) any individual employed by an Oncor Entity or an Affiliate thereof immediately following the First Closing Date or (ii) any individual formerly employed by an Oncor Entity, by any predecessor regulated electric utility business on a full time basis other than as a Non-Oncor Employee or an Affiliate thereof (which for this purpose would constitute an Affiliate immediately following the First Closing Date); and

Split Participant Service” means service of Oncor Employees or Non-Oncor Employees, as applicable, whose employment includes service with both the regulated electric business of Oncor (or a predecessor regulated electric business) and a non-regulated business of the Company or its Affiliates.

(b) At the First Closing, Oncor and Reorganized TCEH shall duly execute and deliver an Amended and Restated Split Participant Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit G (the “Amended and Restated Split Participant Agreement”).

(c) The Company and Parent agree to work together in good faith to develop such timelines, plans, agreements, and communications, and to exchange such information as is necessary to effectuate the intent of this Section 6.6 in an orderly manner. The parties to this Agreement have no intent to create any arrangement that would constitute a self-insured “multiple employer welfare arrangement” within the meaning of Section 3(40) of ERISA under Subtitle A of Title I of ERISA or similar state law (a “MEWA”) by virtue of, or in connection with, any of the Transactions. To the extent that the Oncor Retiree Welfare Plan becomes a self-insured MEWA by virtue of, or in connection with, any of the Transactions, it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that the Oncor Retiree Welfare Plan will only be a self-insured MEWA during the temporary period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on December 31, 2017 (the “Transition Period”). As of the end of the Transition Period, or such earlier date as mutually agreed, the parties to this Agreement and Reorganized TCEH pursuant to the separation agreement contemplated by the Plan of Reorganization shall agree that an Oncor Entity shall create a separate retiree welfare benefit plan for the benefit of the applicable Oncor Employees and Non-Oncor Employees with Split Participant Service (the “Fully Insured Retiree Plan”) that is a “fully insured” MEWA within the meaning of Section 514(b)(6) of ERISA under Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA. In the event that an Oncor Entity would, in connection with the maintenance of the Fully Insured Retiree Plan, otherwise be required to maintain the Oncor Retiree Welfare Plan as a fully insured MEWA, Reorganized TCEH pursuant to the separation agreement contemplated by the Plan of Reorganization and the parties to this Agreement agree to work together in good faith, as necessary, to implement an appropriate approach that satisfies any regulatory requirements applicable to the Fully Insured Retiree Plan and the Oncor Retiree Welfare Plan and offsets any material costs that would otherwise be incurred under such circumstances and that are not otherwise recoverable by Oncor through the rate-making process of the PUCT.

 

53


(d) The provisions of this Section 6.6 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no current or former Employee or any other individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third party beneficiary of this Agreement, and nothing herein shall be (i) construed as an amendment to any Benefit Plan for any purpose, (ii) give any employee or former employee or any other individual associated therewith or any employee benefit plan or trustee thereof or any other third person any right to enforce the provisions of this Section 6.6 or (iii) obligate Parent, the Surviving Company, OV2, Reorganized TCEH or any of their respective Affiliates to (A) maintain any particular benefit plan, except as provided otherwise in the Amended and Restated Split Participant Agreement or (B) retain the employment of any particular employee.

Section 6.7 WARN Act. For a period of ninety (90) days immediately following the First Closing Date, neither Parent nor OV2 shall close any facility or lay off any Employees of the Surviving Company or its Subsidiaries, if such closure or layoff would result in any obligations or liabilities for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under the WARN Act.

Section 6.8 Expenses. The Surviving Company shall pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Exchange Agent, in connection with the exchange of Shares and other administrative actions contemplated in Article IV. The Debtors shall pay all administrative expenses incurred in the Chapter 11 Cases. Except as otherwise provided in the immediately preceding sentences, in Section 6.3(a)(ix), Section 6.17(g), Section 6.19, Section 6.20(c), Section 6.22, Section 6.25, and Section 8.5 hereof, in the Plan Support Agreement, or in the Settlement Agreement, whether or not the Transactions are consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses.

Section 6.9 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) From and after the First Closing, the Surviving Company agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law (and the Surviving Company shall also advance expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, provided that the Person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification), each present and former director, manager, member and officer of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, “Costs”) incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), arising out of or related to such Indemnified Parties’ service as a manager, member, director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or services performed by such persons at the request of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries at or prior to or on the First Closing Date, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the First Closing Date, including, without limitation, the Transactions.

(b) If any Person asserts a claim (an “Eligible Claim”) against an Indemnified Party that could reasonably be expected to give rise to a right on the part of the Indemnified Party to indemnification under this Section 6.9, the Indemnified Party shall give notice of such Eligible Claim to the Surviving Company as soon as practicable after receiving written notice of such Eligible Claim or otherwise acquiring actual knowledge of the assertion

 

54


thereof (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after receiving notice of such Eligible Claim or otherwise acquiring actual knowledge of the assertion thereof), and the Surviving Company shall have the right to assume the defense of such Eligible Claim so long as (i) the Eligible Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party; (ii) the Indemnified Party has not been advised by counsel that an actual or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Surviving Company in connection with the defense of the Eligible Claim; (iii) the Eligible Claim does not relate to or otherwise arise in connection with Taxes or any criminal or regulatory enforcement Action; and (iv) the Surviving Company conducts the defense of the Eligible Claim actively and diligently; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Surviving Company will not relieve the Surviving Company from any liability that the Surviving Company may have hereunder with respect to such Eligible Claim, except to the extent that the Surviving Company is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. If the Surviving Company elects not to assume the defense, is not permitted to assume the defense pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, or fails to diligently pursue or maintain the defense in a timely manner, then the Indemnified Party may employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Surviving Company to represent or defend the Indemnified Party against any such Eligible Claim, and the reasonable out of pocket attorney’s fees incurred by the Indemnified Party for such counsel will be included in the Indemnified Party’s Costs; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party’s Costs shall not, in connection with any Proceeding or separate but substantially similar Proceedings arising out of the same general allegations, include the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnified Parties, except to the extent that local or specialized counsel, in addition to its regular counsel, is required in order to effectively defend against the Eligible Claim and/or the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that an actual or potential conflict exists between one or more of the Indemnified Parties in connection with the defense of the Eligible Claim. If the Surviving Company does assume the defense of an Eligible Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of such Eligible Claim at its own expense. If the Indemnified Party retains its own counsel, the Surviving Company shall reasonably cooperate in providing information to and consulting with the Indemnified Party about the Eligible Claim. The Surviving Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) consent to the entry of any judgment or order or enter into any settlement with respect to any Eligible Claim unless and until the Surviving Company has agreed in writing to pay all amounts payable pursuant to such settlement, judgment or order and such settlement, judgment or order (i) includes an unconditional and irrevocable release of the Indemnified Party for all liability arising out of such claim (ii) does not result in the finding or admission of any violation of Law on the part of the Indemnified Party and (iii) does not impose any injunctive relief or admit to any wrongdoing by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Indemnified Party consent to the entry of judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to an Eligible Claim for which it is seeking indemnification without the prior written consent of the Surviving Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall be permitted to obtain and fully pay the premium for the extension of (i) the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ existing directors’, managers’ and officers’ insurance policies, and (ii) the Company’s existing fiduciary liability insurance policies, in each case

 

55


for a claims reporting or discovery period of at least six (6) years from and after the Effective Time with respect to any claim related to any period of time at or prior to the Effective Time from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are, taken as a whole, no less advantageous than the coverage provided under the Company’s existing policies with respect to any actual or alleged error, misstatement, misleading statement, act, omission, neglect, breach of duty or any matter claimed against a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by reason of him or her serving in such capacity that existed or occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement or the transactions or actions contemplated hereby). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be permitted to expend, for the entire tail policy, in excess of 300 percent of the annual premium currently paid by Company for its current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (in the aggregate) (which premiums are hereby represented and warranted by the Company to currently be approximately $7.3 million per annum).

(d) If the Surviving Company or any of its successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any individual, corporation or other entity, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Company shall assume all of the obligations of the Surviving Company set forth in this Section 6.9.

(e) The rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Section 6.9 shall be in addition to any rights such Indemnified Parties may have under the certificate of incorporation or formation or bylaws, operating agreement or comparable governing documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or under any applicable Contracts or Laws. All rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time and rights to advancement of expenses relating thereto now existing in favor of any Indemnified Party as provided in the certificate of formation, bylaws, operating agreement or comparable governing documents of the Company or of any Subsidiary of the Company or any indemnification agreement between such Indemnified Party and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall survive the Merger and be assumed by the Surviving Company and shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect any right thereunder of any such Indemnified Party.

(f) The provisions of this Section 6.9 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties.

(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.9 to the contrary, the Purchasers may enter into separate agreements regarding the matters covered by this Section 6.9 with one or more Oncor Entities. If any such separate agreement is entered into, the terms of any such separate agreement shall govern in the case of any inconsistency between Section 6.9 and the terms of such separate agreement, solely with respect to the present and former directors, managers, members and officers of the Oncor Entities.

 

56


Section 6.10 Resignation of Directors and Officers.

(a) Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, except as otherwise may be agreed by Parent in writing, the Company Board, all officers of the Company and all members of any board of directors or similar governing body and all officers of any Subsidiary of the Company (other than the Oncor Entities, subject to Section 6.23) in each case who are in office immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be deemed to have resigned from such position(s) effective at the Effective Time.

(b) As of the First Closing Date, subject to obtaining the PUCT Approval, the designees of the Company serving on the board of directors of each of Oncor and Oncor Holdings shall resign and be replaced by two (2) members appointed by Parent to serve on each respective board of directors until their successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the limited liability company agreement of each of Oncor and Oncor Holdings.

Section 6.11 Takeover Statutes. If any “fair price,” “moratorium,” “control share acquisition,” “business combination” or any other anti-takeover statute or regulation is or may become applicable to the Transactions, (i) the Company and the Company Board and (ii) EFIH and the board of managers of EFIH, in each case shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on such transactions.

Section 6.12 Notice of Current Events. From and after the date of this Agreement until the First Closing, the Company and EFIH, on the one hand, and the Purchasers, on the other hand, shall promptly notify each other orally and in writing upon (i) receipt of any written communication from any Person that is a party to a Company Material Contract alleging that the consent of such Person (or another Person) is required in connection with the Transactions; (ii) becoming aware of any occurrence, or non-occurrence, of any event that, individually or in the aggregate, would cause any of the representations or warranties of such party or parties contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate which, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to result in any condition to the obligations of the other party or parties to consummate the Transactions not to be satisfied; (iii) receipt of any material notice or other communication from any Governmental Entity in connection with the Transactions and (iv) the commencement of any Action that, if pending on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be disclosed pursuant to, in the case of the Company or EFIH, Section 5.1(g) or, in the case of Parent, Section 5.2(e) (provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.12 shall not cure any breach of any representation or warranty requiring disclosure of such matter prior to the date of this Agreement or otherwise limit or affect the remedies available hereunder to either party, or any of the conditions set forth in Article VII).

Section 6.13 Bankruptcy Court Matters.

(a) The Debtors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) file, as soon as reasonably practicable, the Plan of Reorganization, the Disclosure Statement and the Settlement Motion (each as defined in the Plan Support Agreement), (ii) file, as soon as reasonably practicable, motions seeking approval of the Company’s and EFIH’s entry into and performance under the Backstop Agreement and this Agreement; (iii) file on or before

The Company and EFIH shall incorporate all reasonably requested comments of the Purchasers in such motions, filings and orders.

(c) In the event that any Order reasonably necessary to consummate the Transactions is appealed or a stay pending appeal is sought, subject to the parties’ respective rights to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII hereof, the Company, EFIH, Parent and OV2 shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to oppose the appeal or the stay pending appeal and seek the dismissal of any appeal.

Section 6.14 Parent and OV2 Waiver. Subject to the receipt by the Purchasers, the Company and EFIH of a reciprocal release from Reorganized TCEH and its Subsidiaries pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization which is substantially consistent with the release contained herein, and except as set forth in Section 6.14 of the Parent Disclosure Letter, each of the Purchasers, the Company and EFIH, acknowledges and agrees that, effective from and after the First Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, Claims and causes of action, Debts, liabilities and obligations, of any nature (other than liabilities or obligations arising under the Plan of Reorganization, including in respect of the indemnification contained in the Plan of Reorganization, the Tax Matters Agreement (as defined below) or any other Transaction Agreement), it or any of its Subsidiaries may have against Reorganized TCEH or any of its Subsidiaries following the First Closing or their respective directors, employees, managers, equityholders, successors and assigns (the “Released Persons”) whether arising under, or based upon, any Law or otherwise (including any right, whether arising at law or in equity, to seek indemnification, contribution, cost recovery, damages, or any other recourse or remedy, including as may arise under common Law) are hereby forever fully and irrevocably waived, released and discharged (the “Released Claims”) and following the First Closing no claim shall be brought or maintained by, or on behalf of, any of the Purchasers, the Surviving Company, EFIH or any of their respective Subsidiaries (the “Parent Parties”) against any Released Person, and no recourse shall be sought or granted against any of them, by virtue of, or based upon any Released Claims. Subject to the receipt by the Purchasers, the Company and EFIH of a reciprocal indemnity from Reorganized TCEH and its Subsidiaries pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization which is substantially consistent with the indemnity contained herein,

 

58


each of the Purchasers, the Company and EFIH hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and each of the other Parent Parties, effective from and after the First Closing, to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Released Persons from and against, and in respect of, any and all Costs incurred by or on behalf of any Released Person as a result of any violation of this Section 6.14 by any Parent Party.

Section 6.15 Tax-Free Reorganization Treatment. The parties to this Agreement intend that the Merger will qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code, and each shall not, and shall not permit any of its respective controlled Affiliates to take any action, or fail to take any action, that would reasonably be expected to jeopardize the qualification of the Merger as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code. The parties further intend that the Merger will be treated for tax purposes as a transaction that is separate from and occurs after the Reorganized TCEH Spin-Off and that does not adversely impact the qualification of the Reorganized TCEH Contributions and the Reorganized TCEH Spin-Off as a reorganization that meets the requirements of Sections 368(a)(1)(G) and 355 of the Code.

Section 6.16 Issuance of Equity and Repayment of Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as provided by Section 9.2 or Section 9.9, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be permitted hereunder to take any action required to consummate the confirmed Plan of Reorganization, including, relating to the issuance of equity in the Company and repayment of indebtedness as set forth therein.

Section 6.17 Debt Financing.

(a) Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the proceeds of the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letter and Fee Letter (or replacement financing obtained in compliance with this Section 6.17), including using its reasonable best efforts to (i) except as otherwise permitted in this Section 6.17, maintain in effect the Debt Commitment Letter and Fee Letter in accordance with their terms, (ii) negotiate definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing (the “Definitive Agreements”) consistent with the terms and conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter and Fee Letter (including, as necessary, the “flex” provisions contained in the Fee Letter) or, if available, on other terms that are acceptable to Parent and would not adversely affect the ability of Parent to consummate the transactions contemplated herein, (iii) satisfy (or obtain the waiver of) on a timely basis all conditions in the Debt Commitment Letter, Fee Letter and the Definitive Agreements within Parent’s control (including payment of all fees and expenses) and comply with its obligations thereunder and (iv) enforce its rights under the Debt Commitment Letter, Fee Letter, and/or Definitive Agreements in the event of any breach or purported breach thereof. Parent shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, take or refrain from taking, directly or indirectly, any action that would reasonably be expected to result in a failure of any of the conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter or in any Definitive Agreement.

(b) Parent shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company and EFIH (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), permit any amendment or modification to, or any waiver of any provision (including any remedy) under, or voluntarily replace (it being understood that any Alternative Debt Financing or any Bond Financing shall not be deemed a voluntary replacement for purposes of the sentence), the Debt Commitment Letter or Fee Letter or engagement letter with respect thereto if such amendment, modification, waiver or voluntary replacement (i) adds new (or adversely modifies any

 

59


existing) conditions to the consummation of the Debt Financing as compared to those in the Debt Commitment Letter and Fee Letter, each as in effect on the date of this Agreement, in a manner that would or would reasonably be expected to make any portion of the Debt Financing less likely to be timely obtained, (ii) adversely affects the ability of Parent to enforce its rights against other parties to the Debt Commitment Letter, Fee Letter, or the Definitive Agreements as so amended, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified, in any material respect, relative to the ability of Parent to enforce its rights against such other parties to the Debt Commitment Letter and Fee Letter, each as in effect on the date hereof or in the Definitive Agreements, (iii) reduces the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing (other than (w) as a result of the decision not to proceed with the acquisition of the Minority Interest and in accordance with Section 1.1 of the Parent Disclosure Letter, (x) if at such time (or prior thereto) there is an equivalent increase in the Equity Commitments, (y) reductions of any amounts thereof constituting increases thereto after the date hereof), or (iv) could otherwise be expected to prevent, impede or delay the consummation of any of the Transactions; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt no consent from the Company or EFIH shall be required: (A) for any amendment, replacement, supplement or modification of the Debt Commitment Letter that is limited to adding lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities that have not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement), (B) for implementation or exercise of any “flex” provisions provided in the Fee Letter as in effect as of the date hereof, (C) for any amendment, replacement, supplement or modification to the Debt Commitment Letter or Definitive Agreements so long as such action would not be prohibited by the foregoing clauses (i)-(iv) in this Section 6.17(b) or (D) to add or replace facilities with one or more new facilities or with the Bond Financing.

(c) In the event that any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable, regardless of the reason therefor, Parent will (i) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain alternative debt financing (the “Alternative Debt Financing”) as promptly as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of the event that renders the Debt Financing unavailable but no later than the final day of the Marketing Period (in an amount sufficient, when taken together with any then-available Debt Financing pursuant to any then-existing Debt Commitment Letter, to consummate the Transactions and to pay related fees and expenses earned, due and payable as of the First Closing Date) on terms not less favorable in the aggregate to Parent than those contained in the Debt Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter that the Alternative Debt Financing would replace (taking into account any “flex” provisions) from the same or other sources and which do not include any incremental conditionality to the consummation of such Alternative Debt Financing that are more onerous to Parent or the Company (in the aggregate) than the conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter in effect as of the date of this Agreement or otherwise impede; delay or prevent the Transactions and (ii) promptly notify the Company of such unavailability and the reason therefor.

(d) For purposes of the Recitals and the foregoing Section 6.17(a) through Section 6.17(c), the term “Debt Commitment Letter” shall be deemed to include any commitment letter (or similar agreement) with respect to any Alternative Debt Financing arranged in compliance herewith (and any Debt Commitment Letters remaining in effect at the time in question), (ii) the term “Fee Letter” shall be deemed to include any fee letter (or similar agreement) with respect to any Alternative Debt Financing arranged in compliance with this Section 6.17(d), and (iii) the term “Financing Sources” shall be deemed to include any financing sources providing the Alternative Debt Financing or Bond Financing arranged

 

60


in compliance herewith. Parent shall keep the Company reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis of the status of its efforts to consummate the Debt Financing. Parent shall provide the Company with prompt oral and written notice of any material breach, threatened breach or default by any party to any Debt Commitment Letters or the Definitive Agreements of which Parent gains knowledge and the receipt of any notice or other communication from any Lender, guarantor, or other financing source with respect to any breach, threatened breach or default or, termination or repudiation by any party to any Debt Commitment Letters or the Definitive Agreements or any provision thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent shall, directly or indirectly, make all proceeds of the Debt Financing received by Parent available to OV2 as necessary for OV2 to perform its obligations hereunder.

(e) Prior to the earlier of the First Closing Date and the Termination Date, the Company agrees to use reasonable best efforts to provide, and to use reasonable best efforts to cause its Subsidiaries (other than Oncor Entities, subject to Section 6.23) and their respective officers and Representatives to provide, reasonable cooperation in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing (including, without limitation, any Bond Financing), (provided that the Purchasers shall use reasonable best efforts to provide the Company with notice of any information needed by the Purchasers as soon as reasonably practicable), including reasonable best efforts to undertake the following: (i) active participation by appropriate members of senior management of the Company (or other employees with appropriate seniority or expertise) in meetings, presentations, road shows, due diligence sessions, drafting sessions and sessions with prospective lenders, investors and rating agencies, in each case, at mutually agreeable times and locations and upon reasonable notice, (ii) assisting with the preparation of customary materials for rating agencies and rating agency presentations, offering documents, private placement memoranda, bank information memoranda, prospectuses and similar documents required in connection with the Debt Financing and/or Bond Financing, together with customary authorization letters authorizing the distribution of information to prospective lenders or investors (which customary authorization letters shall be required notwithstanding the reasonable best efforts standard required of the Company above), (iii) executing and delivering any pledge and security documents, currency or interest hedging arrangements, or other definitive financing documents in the form attached to the Debt Commitment Letters or Definitive Agreements or other certificates, or documents as may be reasonably requested by Parent or otherwise reasonably facilitating the pledging of collateral, provided that such documents will not take effect until the Effective Time, (iv) furnishing all (w) financial statements described in paragraph 5 of Exhibit D to the Debt Commitment Letter, as in effect on the date hereof and (x) all information and data reasonably requested by the Purchasers to prepare all pro forma financial statements required in connection with the Debt Financing, and (y) all financial statements and financial data of the type and form required by Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K under the Securities Act for offerings of debt securities on a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act, including all information required to be incorporated therein (subject to exceptions customary for a private Rule 144A offering involving high-yield debt securities and in no event shall the Company be required to provide financial information otherwise required by Rule 3-10 (other than customary qualitative disclosure with respect thereto) and Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X (or any Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K) that would not be reasonably necessary for the independent accountants to deliver customary “comfort” (including as to “negative assurance” comfort and change period)), in connection with the Debt Financing (the information required to be delivered pursuant to this clause (iv) being

Nothing contained in this Section 6.17(e) or otherwise shall require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, prior to the First Closing, to be an issuer or other obligor with respect to the Debt Financing.

 

62


(f) From and after the date hereof until the earlier of the Termination Date and the First Closing Date, it is understood that the Parent may seek to market all or a portion of the Debt Financing and, in connection therewith, Parent may seek to consummate all or a portion of the Debt Financing prior to the commencement of the Marketing Period hereunder (the date of any such issuance, an “Escrow Closing Date”). In this regard, and for the avoidance of doubt, (i) the Company and EFIH acknowledge that their cooperation obligations set forth in Section 6.17(e) include the obligation to use their reasonable best efforts to cooperate with any such efforts, provided such cooperation obligations are limited to those set forth in Section 6.17(e) and (ii) the Purchasers shall not release from escrow the proceeds received in respect of the Interim and Permanent Financing prior to the earlier of the First Closing and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

(g) Prior to the First Closing Date, none of the Company, its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives shall be required to take any action that would subject such Person to actual or potential liability, to bear any cost or expense or to pay any commitment or other similar fee or make any other payment or incur any other liability or provide or agree to provide any indemnity in connection with the Debt Financing or their performance of their respective obligations under this Section 6.17 or any information utilized in connection therewith. Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives from and against any and all costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, “Costs”) suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing and the performance of their respective obligations under this Section 6.17 and any information utilized in connection therewith (other than arising from information provided by the Company or its Subsidiaries). Parent shall, promptly upon request of the Company if this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, reimburse the Company and its Subsidiaries for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Company or its Subsidiaries (including those of its accountants, consultants, legal counsel, agents and other representatives), in connection with the cooperation required by this Section 6.17. The Company hereby consents to the use of the logos of the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with the Debt Financing; provided that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(h) Parent and OV2 acknowledge and agree that the consummation of the Parent Subject Transactions is not conditional upon the consummation of, or the receipt by Parent or OV2 or any of their Affiliates of the proceeds of the Debt Financing.

(i) As used in this Agreement, the term “Marketing Period” shall mean the first period of fifteen (15) consecutive Business Days, after the date hereof and beginning on the date which Parent shall have received the Required Financial Information from the Company (during which period the consolidated audited, interim and pro forma financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries described in Section 6.17(e)(iv) and included in the Required Financial Information shall not require any material change (other than any change to information provided by, or derived from information provided by, Parent or any change caused by any change to information provided by, or derived from information provided by, Parent)) and the other information required to be delivered by Parent pursuant to paragraph 8 of Exhibit D of the Debt Commitment Letter (as in effect on the date hereof); provided that (x) each of (I) November 26, 2015 through and including November 29, 2015, (II) July 2, 2016 through and including July 5, 2016 and (III) November 23, 2016 through and including

 

63


November 27, 2016, shall in each case be disregarded for the purposes of such fifteen (15) consecutive Business Day period, (y) if such period has not ended prior to (I) August 21, 2015, then it will not commence until September 7, 2015, (II) December 22, 2015, then it will not commence until January 4, 2016, (III) August 19, 2016, then it will not commence until September 5, 2016 and (IV) December 22, 2016, then it will not commence until January 2, 2017 and (z) the Marketing Period shall not be deemed to have commenced if, after the date hereof and prior to the completion of the Marketing Period, (A) the independent auditors to the Company shall have withdrawn their audit opinion with respect to any audited financial statements contained in the Required Financial Information, in which case the Marketing Period shall not be deemed to commence unless and until a new unqualified audit opinion is issued with respect to such financial statements by the independent auditors to the Company or another nationally-recognized independent public accounting firm, or (B) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries restates or the Company’s board of directors has determined to restate any historical financial statements of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in which case the Marketing Period shall not be deemed to commence unless and until such restatement has been completed or the Company’s board of directors subsequently concludes that no restatement shall be required in accordance with GAAP, or (C) any of the Required Financial Information would not be Compliant (as defined below) at any time during such fifteen (15) consecutive Business Day period (it being understood that if any Required Financial Information provided to Parent at the commencement of the Marketing Period ceases to be Compliant during any such fifteen (15) consecutive Business Day period, then the Marketing Period shall be deemed to not to have occurred); provided, further, that if the Company shall in good faith reasonably believe it has delivered the Required Financial Information, it may deliver to Parent a written notice to that effect (stating when it believes it completed such delivery), in which case the Marketing Period shall be deemed to have commenced on the date specified in that notice unless Parent in good faith reasonably believes the Company has not completed delivery of the Required Financial Information and, within three (3) Business Days of the delivery of such notice by the Company, delivers a written notice to the Company to that effect (stating with specificity which Required Financial Information Parent reasonably believes the Company has not delivered). As used in this Agreement, “Compliant” means, with respect to the Required Financial Information, that such Required Financial Information: (a) does not, taken as a whole, contain any untrue statement of a material fact regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries, or, taken as a whole, omit to state any material fact regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries necessary in order to make such Required Financial Information not materially misleading under the circumstances; and (b) would not be deemed stale or otherwise be unusable under customary practices for offerings and private “for life” placements of high yield debt securities under Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act in order to consummate any offering of debt securities on any day during the Marketing Period.

(j) On the First Closing Date, in accordance with this Agreement and the Plan of Reorganization, the Reorganized Company and Reorganized EFIH shall enter into the Interim Financing Facility.

Section 6.18 Tax Matters.

(a) Private Letter Ruling. The Company, on behalf of the Debtors, has filed with the IRS a written request dated June 10, 2014 (the “Ruling Request,” and together with all related materials and supplements thereto filed or to be filed with the IRS, the “IRS Submissions”) that the IRS issue a private letter ruling (the “Private Letter Ruling”) to the Company addressing the qualification of the Reorganized TCEH Contributions and the Reorganized TCEH Spin-Off as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 368(a)(1)(G), 355 and 356 of the Code and certain other matters. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that it is anticipated that the IRS will not provide every ruling requested in the Ruling Request and that, subject to, and except as otherwise specified in, the condition set forth in Section 7.1(e), the Transactions are not conditioned on the receipt of any specific ruling from the IRS.

(b) IRS Submissions. The Company shall be responsible for the preparation and filing of the IRS Submissions which shall be made in a manner that complies with the Plan Support Agreement. The Company shall provide tax counsel of Parent with copies of, and a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on drafts of all IRS Submissions to be filed on or after the date hereof and will incorporate any comments or suggested revisions as are reasonably requested by Parent or its tax counsel with respect thereto; provided, however, that such rights shall not result in unreasonable delays in submitting the IRS Submissions to the IRS. The parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement and the facts related to the contemplated Reorganized TCEH Contributions, the Reorganized TCEH Spin-Off and the other Transactions will be disclosed to the IRS pursuant to a subsequent IRS Submission. To the extent that the Company, in its good faith judgment, considers any information included in such IRS Submissions (or drafts thereof) to be confidential, the Company may require that any such documents provided to Parent be redacted to exclude such information. Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall provide Parent with copies of each IRS Submission promptly following the filing thereof.

(c) IRS Communications and Cooperation. Two representatives on behalf of Parent shall be given the opportunity to participate in all substantive scheduled communications after the date hereof with the IRS concerning the IRS Submissions, including all substantive scheduled conference calls and in-person meetings after the date hereof. In addition, the Company (i) shall keep Parent reasonably informed and shall consult in good faith with Parent and its tax counsel with respect to any issue relating to the IRS Submissions and (ii) shall provide Parent with copies of all correspondence, notices, and other written materials received from the IRS after the date hereof and shall otherwise keep Parent and its tax counsel advised of significant developments, and of any substantive communications with the IRS after the date hereof, in each case, regarding the IRS Submissions and the restructuring transactions contemplated hereby and by the Plan of Reorganization. The Company and Parent agree to cooperate and use their reasonable best efforts to assist in obtaining the Private Letter Ruling requested in the Ruling Request (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the requested rulings that are not Required Rulings as set forth on Exhibit H). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and Parent acknowledge that certain of the requested rulings set forth in the Ruling Request address

 

65


matters for which the IRS does not commonly issue private letter rulings and, as a result, there is substantial uncertainty as to what representations the IRS may require from the Debtors and Parent. Each party agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to provide any appropriate information and additional representations, and to negotiate in good faith with the other parties to implement any changes to the Transactions, in each case as requested by the IRS in order to issue the Private Letter Ruling. No additional rulings will be requested unless mutually agreed by the Company and Parent.

(d) 280G. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide to Parent, as promptly as reasonably practicable, and in any event within sixty (60) days after the date hereof, a true and correct report specifying whether and to what extent the consummation of the Transactions will result in payment of any amount that could, individually or in combination with any other such payment, constitute an “excess parachute payment” as defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code. Such report, when delivered by the Company, shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Company as to the information set forth therein, with the same effect as if it were set forth in Section 5(h) hereof.

Section 6.19 IPO Conversion Plan; Oncor Restructuring.

(a) The Company hereby agrees that it shall (i) reasonably promptly (but in no event later than ten (10) Business days) following the receipt of an Order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the Company’s and EFIH’s entry into and performance under this Agreement, approve the IPO Conversion Plan, (ii) reasonably promptly following written request of Parent, deliver notice to Oncor of the Company’s intent to undertake the IPO Conversion pursuant to the IPO Conversion Plan (the “IPO Conversion Plan Notice”) and (iii) on the First Closing Date, consummate the steps of the IPO Conversion Plan to be performed by the Company in accordance with Section 1.1. EFIH hereby agrees that on the First Closing Date, it shall consummate the steps of the IPO Conversion Plan to be performed by EFIH in accordance with Section 1.1.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.25 to the contrary, all reasonable out-of-pocket Costs incurred after the date of this Agreement in connection with (i) this Section 6.19, (ii) the IPO Conversion Plan or (iii) delivery of the IPO Conversion Plan Notice to Oncor, shall be paid by the Purchasers, and the Purchasers shall, upon the request of the Company, reimburse the Company and its Subsidiaries if this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, for all such Costs incurred after the date of this Agreement by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including those of its accountants, consultants, legal counsel, agents and other representatives) in immediately available funds within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such request.

Section 6.20 Drag-Along Rights.

(a) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Offer (together with this Agreement to the extent referred to therein) constitutes an offer by Parent to purchase (i) substantially all of the IPO Units in the IPO Corporation or, alternatively, substantially all of the LLC Units in Oncor held indirectly by the Company and (ii) all of the LLC Units in Oncor that are owned by TTI and Oncor Management as provided for in Section 3.3(a) of the Investor Rights Agreement.

(b) So long as Parent has not (x) rescinded the Offer or (y) amended or modified the Offer in a manner that violates the Investor Rights Agreement, at any time following the receipt of a written request from the Parent and prior to the Termination Date, the Company shall (i) prepare a Required Sale Notice (as such term is defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent and the Company and consistent with Section 3.3 of the Investor Rights Agreement and the terms of this Agreement and (ii) promptly deliver such Required Sale Notice to TTI.

Section 6.22 Enforcement of Certain Investor Rights.

(a) Following the execution of this Agreement, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to negotiate and execute definitive documentation with TTI (or, if applicable, its equityholders) providing for the acquisition of the Minority Interest as of the First Closing Date for consideration in an amount sufficient to satisfy the applicable requirements of Section 3.3 of the Investor Rights Agreement and otherwise on terms to be mutually agreed by Parent and TTI (or, if applicable, its equityholders). Solely to the extent that, at any time after the date that is thirty (30) days from the date on which the Required Sale Notice is delivered in accordance with Section 6.20, (x) neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates has executed definitive documentation with TTI (or, if applicable, its equityholders) providing for the acquisition of the Minority Interest, (y) Parent has complied, in all material respects, with its obligations under this Section 6.22(a) and (z) Parent has neither rescinded the Offer nor amended or modified the Offer in a manner that violates the Investor Rights Agreement, the Purchasers shall be entitled to send a written notice to the Company requesting that the Company commence an Enforcement Action (as defined below). The parties hereby agree that Parent shall have complied with its obligations under this Section 6.22(a) to the extent Parent has made and not rescinded a good faith offer to TTI consistent with the Offer and otherwise made good faith efforts to propose the basis for negotiations and propose draft definitive documentation providing for the acquisition of the Minority Interest as of the First Closing Date consistent with the terms of the Offer.

(b) Promptly following, and in no case more than fourteen (14) Business Days after, the delivery of the written notice described in Section 6.22(a), the Company shall file an action (the “Enforcement Action”) in the Bankruptcy Court (or, if the Bankruptcy Court issues a final Order confirming that it does not have jurisdiction over the Enforcement Action, another appropriate court mutually agreed in good faith by the Company and Parent) that seeks any or all of the following remedies (as determined by consultation among the parties, but including, at a minimum, the remedies described in clauses (i) and (ii) below): (i) a determination that the Company has the right to enforce the Drag-Along Rights and TTI is accordingly bound to consummate the sale of the Minority Interest at the First Closing, (ii) a determination that TTI is obligated to take such actions as may be reasonably required on its part in connection with consummating the IPO Conversion Plan, (iii) a determination, if applicable, that TTI has failed to comply with its obligations under the Investor Rights Agreement with respect to the Drag-Along Rights contained therein or with respect to the IPO Conversion Plan, (iv) enforcement of any other obligations of TTI arising under the Investor Rights Agreement or the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Oncor, dated as of November 8, 2008, as amended, in each case solely relating to the matters described in clause (i) and/or (ii) above and (v) any other remedy available to the Company at law or in equity in connection with such matters. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall have no obligation to bring any other action (whether in law, equity or otherwise) against TTI pursuant to this Section 6.22; provided, however, that, to the extent that TTI or any of its Affiliates commences any action relating to the matters identified in this Section 6.22 against the Company, EFIH and/or any of its debtor Affiliates, the Company or such other Person shall as promptly as practicable seek to remove any such action to the Bankruptcy Court and, to the extent applicable, seek to enforce the automatic stay against such action pending removal.

(c) The Enforcement Action shall be conducted by the Company with counsel selected by the Company, in its reasonable discretion, which may include Kirkland & Ellis LLP. To the extent that the Purchasers move to intervene in and otherwise participate in the Enforcement Action, at their own cost and expense and with their own counsel (which may include Baker Botts L.L.P. or White & Case LLP, or both), the Company and EFIH shall not oppose the Purchasers’ motion, or knowingly take any action with the intent of preventing, restricting or hindering the Purchasers from intervening and participating in the Enforcement Action, and shall support the Purchasers’ right to intervene in the Enforcement Action for any and all purposes related to the Enforcement Action (including related counterclaims) with full rights of participation.

(d) To the extent that, after the commencement of the Enforcement Action, (i) neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates has executed definitive documentation with TTI (or, if applicable, its equityholders) providing for the acquisition of the Minority Interest, (ii) Parent has complied, in all material respects, with its obligations under Section 6.22 and (iii) Parent has neither rescinded the Offer nor amended or modified the Offer in a manner that violates the Investor Rights Agreement, the Company shall prosecute the Enforcement Action diligently until entry of a final order resolving the Enforcement Action in its entirety. Subject to the terms of this Section 6.22, the Company and Parent shall (and shall cause their respective attorneys and advisors to) cooperate with each other and use reasonable best efforts to take all actions, and do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary or advisable to achieve a Successful Outcome (as defined below) of the Enforcement Action, including preparing and filing all documentation reasonably required in connection therewith. A “Successful Outcome” means obtaining the applicable remedies referred to in clauses (i) through (iv) of Section 6.22(b) or entering into a settlement or compromise of the Enforcement Action as set forth in Section 6.22(f).

(e) In connection with the Enforcement Action, the Company and EFIH shall (i) provide Parent and its designated advisors with a reasonable opportunity to review in advance and provide comments to any material filings made in connection therewith, and consider those comments in good faith, (ii) reasonably consult with, and consider in good faith the views of, Parent and designated counsel in connection with the prosecution, defense and/or settlement of such Enforcement Action and (iii) allow Parent and its designated legal advisors to attend, and, if permitted by applicable Law (and only if appropriate agreements are entered into designed to minimize the risk of waiving, and with the intention of maintaining, any privilege or work product doctrine), participate in, all material meetings, communications and proceedings with respect to such Enforcement Action. Without limitation to the foregoing sentence, the Company shall consult with, and consider in good faith the views of, Parent regarding all material strategic decisions relating to the conduct of the Enforcement Action, and Parent shall be entitled to set the timing for the filing of any summary judgment or other dispositive motion and for any trial or other significant hearing; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to contrary in this Section 6.22, the Company shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action proposed by Parent that it reasonably determines (based on the advice of its counsel) is (A) likely to have a material and adverse effect on the ability of the Company to effectuate the EFH Subject Transactions or the other transactions contemplated by the Plan of Reorganization or (B) inconsistent with its

 

69


board of directors’ applicable fiduciary duties. Subject to the limitations set forth in the first sentence of Section 6.22(d), the Company shall, and shall direct its counsel to, use reasonable best efforts to take all steps to prosecute the Enforcement Action as promptly as reasonably practicable, including filing motions with the court, as appropriate, to seek a ruling on expedited treatment for the Enforcement Action, and Parent (including designated legal counsel and other advisors) shall use its and their reasonable best efforts to support and assist the Company in fulfilling its obligations with respect to the Enforcement Action.

(f) Without limiting any other provision of this Section 6.22, the Company shall not settle or compromise any Enforcement Action or consent to the entry of any Order in connection therewith without the prior written consent of Parent (in its sole discretion). Parent shall be entitled to cause the Company to settle or compromise any Enforcement Action or consent to the entry of any Order in connection therewith without the consent of the Company so long as (i) any such settlement or compromise, and any payment obligations in connection therewith, shall be contingent on the occurrence of the First Closing and (ii) Parent provides advance notice of at least five (5) Business Days to the Company of the proposed terms of such settlement or compromise and the Company does not notify Parent in writing within such five (5) Business Day period that the Company has reasonably determined (based on the advice of its counsel) that such settlement or compromise is (A) likely to have a material and adverse effect on the ability of the Company to effectuate the EFH Subject Transactions, or the other transactions contemplated by the Plan of Reorganization or (B) inconsistent with its board of directors’ applicable fiduciary duties.

(g) The Company shall cause its Counsel to track separately all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Enforcement Action as part of its ongoing fee application process. The Company shall invoice Parent for all reasonable and documented fees and expenses incurred by it and its Affiliates in connection with the Enforcement Action on a monthly basis and such invoices shall be payable by Parent in immediately available funds within fifteen (15) Business Days after the receipt thereof. In addition, the Purchasers hereby agree to, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives from and against any and all Costs suffered or reasonably incurred as a result of actions taken pursuant to this Section 6.22, to the extent such actions are taken during the period from the date of this Agreement (other than any Costs arising from a material breach by the Company or EFIH of its obligations under this Section 6.22 or from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Company in connection with the Enforcement Action). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any other Transaction Agreement, including the Plan Support Agreement, prior to the First Closing, neither EFH, EFIH nor any of their Affiliates shall be responsible for paying the fees and expenses of the Purchasers or their Affiliates with respect to the Enforcement Action (and the Purchasers and their Affiliates shall track separately all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Enforcement Action).

(h) If requested by Parent, the Company, EFIH and their respective advisors shall promptly consent to, execute and deliver to Parent a mutually agreeable common interest or joint defense or prosecution agreement regarding the defense and/or prosecution of any Enforcement Action that is consistent with the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.22. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Enforcement Action” shall include any appeals therefrom.

(a) Plan of Reorganization. The terms and conditions of the Plan of Reorganization confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court shall not be inconsistent, in any substantive legal or economic respect material to EFH or EFIH or any Purchaser or any Equity Commitment Party (including with respect to the rights and obligations of the Purchasers, EFH or EFIH herein), with the provisions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan of Reorganization.

(b) Bankruptcy Orders. (i) The Bankruptcy Court shall have entered an Order or Orders approving the Signing Date Agreements and the Settlement Agreement (as defined in the Plan Support Agreement) and each such Order shall be in form and substance acceptable to Parent in its reasonable discretion and shall be in full force and effect and not be subject to any stay; (ii) the Plan of Reorganization shall have been confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court and the Order entered by the Bankruptcy Court confirming the Plan of Reorganization, shall be in form and substance acceptable to Parent in its reasonable discretion (the “Confirmation Order”) and shall be in full force and effect and not be subject to any stay; and (iii) the disclosure statement for the Plan of Reorganization, including all exhibits and schedules, in form and substance acceptable to Parent in its reasonable discretion (the “Disclosure Statement”), shall have been approved by the Bankruptcy Court and the Order approving the Disclosure Statement and related solicitation materials (the “Disclosure Statement Order”), which shall be in form and substance acceptable to Parent in its reasonable discretion, shall be in full force and effect and not be subject to any stay.

(c) Regulatory Consents. Any material governmental consent and approval necessary to consummate the Transactions (other than the Minority Interest Contribution or the EFIH Parent Issuance), including the FERC Approval, the FCC Approval, the PUCT Approval, the NRC Approval, shall have been obtained and shall remain in full force and effect, and the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act with respect to each applicable Transaction (other than the Minority Interest Contribution or the EFIH Parent Issuance) shall have expired or been terminated; provided, that, no conditions or requirements attached to any such approvals, or necessary to result in the expiration of any waiting period under the HSR Act, shall constitute a Burdensome Condition.

 

73

(e) Private Letter Ruling. The Private Letter Ruling shall have been obtained by the Company from the IRS and shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company and Parent; provided, however, that the parties acknowledge and agree that (x) the failure of the Private Letter Ruling to contain any of the following rulings shall not be grounds for concluding the Private Letter Ruling is not reasonably satisfactory to either the Company or Parent: (i) the Reorganized TCEH Contributions, the conversion of Reorganized TCEH to a corporation, and the Reorganized TCEH Spin-Off (collectively, the “Reorganization”) qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(G) of the Code; (ii) the Reorganized TCEH Spin-Off constitutes a transaction qualifying under Sections 355 and 356 of the Code; and (iii) the Reorganized TCEH Contributions and the Reorganized TCEH Spin-Off are not used principally as a device for the distribution of earnings and profits of the Company or Reorganized TCEH and (y) the failure of the Private Letter Ruling to include any one or more of the rulings set forth on Exhibit H will be grounds for concluding the Private Letter Ruling is not reasonably satisfactory; provided further, however, that (A) a particular ruling that, in the reasonable determination of both the Company and Parent, covers substantially the same subject matter as any one or more of the rulings set forth on Exhibit H shall not be grounds for concluding the Private Letter Ruling is not reasonably satisfactory to either the Company or Parent due to its failure to include such particular ruling set forth on Exhibit H; (B) in the event a specific ruling set forth on Exhibit H is not given because the IRS communicates that there is no substantial issue with respect to the requested ruling, the absence of such ruling shall not be grounds for concluding the Private Letter Ruling is not reasonably satisfactory to either the Company or Parent provided that the Company obtains an opinion of nationally recognized counsel, in form and substance acceptable to Parent in its reasonable discretion, at a “will” level with respect to the issue that was initially requested pursuant to the Ruling Request; or (C) a pre-filing agreement (including an agreement in accordance with Revenue Procedure 2009-14) or closing agreement with the IRS shall be acceptable in lieu of any such specific ruling set forth in Exhibit H, provided that such agreement is both (i) binding on the IRS to the same degree as a private letter ruling or is otherwise acceptable to both the Company and Parent in their reasonable discretion and (ii) contains, in the reasonable determination of both the Company and Parent, conclusions that are substantially similar, and have substantially the same practical effect, to those contained in the specific ruling initially requested pursuant to the Ruling Request; provided further, however, that Company and Parent acknowledge and agree that the failure of the Private Letter Ruling to contain Required Ruling 12, 13, or 14 shall not be grounds for concluding that the Private Letter Ruling is not reasonably satisfactory to the Company; provided further, however, that the failure to obtain a ruling that provides that Reorganized TCEH and New Holdco have never been a member of the consolidated group of which EFH is the common parent shall not, standing alone, be grounds for concluding the Private Letter Ruling is not reasonably satisfactory.

(f) Opinion of Counsel with respect to the Reorganized TCEH Spin-Off. The Company and Reorganized TCEH shall have obtained an opinion of nationally recognized counsel in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company and Parent at a “should” level, to the effect that (i) the Reorganized

 

74

Section 8.1 Termination by Mutual Consent. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the First Closing, whether before or after the Bankruptcy Court shall have entered the Confirmation Order, by mutual written consent of the Company, EFIH, Parent and OV2 by action of each of their respective boards of directors or managers, as applicable.

Section 8.2 Termination by Either Parent or the Company/EFIH. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the First Closing by action of either (x) Parent, on the one hand, or (y) the Company and EFIH (acting together), on the other hand, if the First Closing shall not have been consummated by the date that is nine (9) months after the date of this Agreement (as extended pursuant to this Section 8.2, the “Initial Drop-Dead Date”); provided, however, that (i) if any application for the approval of any Governmental Entity that is a condition to the obligations of the parties under Section 7.1(c) (the “Required Regulatory Approvals”) has not been received, as of the Initial Drop-Dead Date, Parent shall have the right to extend the Initial Drop-Dead Date for up to 180 days for the purpose of continuing to pursue any such Required Regulatory Approval by delivery of written notice to the Company and EFIH and (ii) so long as all conditions to the occurrence of the First Closing, other than the receipt of the Private Letter Ruling pursuant to Section 7.1(e), have been satisfied before the Initial Drop-Dead Date set forth in this Section 8.2 (or before the termination of any extension to such Initial Drop-Dead Date pursuant to this Section 8.2), then the Company may extend the Initial Drop-Dead Date until August 31, 2016 for the purpose of continuing to pursue the Private Letter Ruling by delivery of written notice to Parent; provided, further, however, that, if the Marketing Period has commenced on or before the Initial Drop-Dead Date, but not ended on or before the Initial Drop-Dead Date, such Initial Drop-Dead Date shall automatically be extended such that the Initial Drop-Dead Date does not occur sooner than three (3) Business Days after the final day of the Marketing Period (the Initial Drop-Dead Date as extended pursuant to this Section 8.2 being the “Drop-Dead Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall not be available to the Company or EFIH if the willful and intentional failure of the Company or EFIH to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been a substantial factor contributing to the failure of the First Closing to occur on or before the Drop-Dead Date. In addition, this Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the First Closing by action of either Parent, on the one hand, or the Company and EFIH (acting together), on the other hand, if any Law or Order permanently restraining, enjoining, rendering illegal or otherwise prohibiting consummation of any of the Transactions (other than the Minority Interest Contribution or the EFIH Parent Issuance) shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, that neither the Company nor EFIH shall be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this sentence unless it shall have used its reasonable best efforts to contest such Law or Order prior to its becoming permanent. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Termination Date” shall mean the date on which this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with its terms.

Section 8.3 Termination by the Company and/or EFIH. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the First Closing upon the occurrence of any of the following:

79


if continuing as of the First Closing and (ii) cannot be, or has not been, cured within thirty (30) days after Parent’s receipt of written notice thereof from the Company or EFIH; provided, however, that neither the Company nor EFIH is then in breach of this Agreement in a manner that would result or has resulted in any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.2(b) not being satisfied;

(b) by the Company and EFIH (acting together) if Parent and OV2 have failed to consummate the First Closing (other than the Minority Interest Contribution and the EFIH Parent Issuance), notwithstanding the fact that the conditions to the obligation of Parent and OV2 to consummate the First Closing are satisfied, no later than two (2) Business Days after the date required by Section 1.8; provided, however, that neither the Company nor EFIH is then in breach of this Agreement in a manner that would result or has resulted in any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.2(b) not being satisfied;

(c) by the Company and EFIH (acting together) if the Confirmation Order confirms a plan of reorganization that is inconsistent, in any substantive legal or economic respect material to the Company or EFIH, with this Agreement or the Plan of Reorganization;

(d) by the Company and EFIH (acting together) if the Chapter 11 Cases are dismissed or converted to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code and such dismissal or conversion does not provide for the Transactions;

(e) by the Company if the Company Board determines in good faith after consultation with its outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel, and based on the advice of such counsel, that proceeding with the Transactions would be inconsistent with its applicable fiduciary duties;

(f) by EFIH if the board of managers of EFIH determines in good faith after consultation with its outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel, and based on the advice of such counsel, that proceeding with the Transactions would be inconsistent with its applicable fiduciary duties;

(g) by the Company and EFIH upon the occurrence of any of the events set forth in Section 7.1(i); or

(h) by the Company and EFIH (acting together) if there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of any Purchaser Transaction Party under the Equity Commitment Letter, the Plan Support Agreement and/or Backstop Agreement, as applicable, which breach (i) would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.3(a) or Section 7.3(b) and (ii) cannot be or has not been cured within thirty (30) days after the Purchaser Transaction Party’s receipt of written notice thereof from the Company or EFIH; provided, however, that neither the Company nor EFIH is then in breach of this Agreement in a manner that would result or has resulted in any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.3(a) or Section 7.3(b) not being satisfied.

(d) if there has been a breach of any covenant or agreement of Oncor or Oncor Holdings under the Oncor Letter Agreement, which breach (i) would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 and (ii) cannot be or has not been cured within thirty (30) days after the Company’s, EFIH’s, Oncor’s and Oncor Holdings’ receipt of written notice thereof from any Purchaser;

Offer to Purchase IPO Units and LLC Units

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to (i) the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC, dated as of November 5, 2008 (as amended, the “Oncor LLC Agreement”), among Oncor Electric Delivery Holdings Company LLC (“Oncor Holdings”), Oncor Management Investment LLC (“Oncor Management”) and Texas Transmission Investment LLC (“TTI”) and (ii) the Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of November 5, 2008 (the “Investor Rights Agreement”), among Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC (“Oncor”), Oncor Holdings, TTI and Energy Future Holdings Corp. (“EFH”). Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the respective meanings set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement.

As you are aware, as of the date hereof, (i) EFH, Energy Future Intermediate Holding Company LLC (“EFIH”), Ovation Acquisition I, L.L.C. (“OV1”) and Ovation Acquisition II, L.L.C. (“OV2”) are entering into a Purchase Agreement and Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (the “Merger Agreement”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit A hereto, and (ii) EFH, EFIH and the other debtors in the pending chapter 11 cases jointly administered for procedural purposes only under Case No. 14-10979 (collectively, the “Debtors”) are filing an amended Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan of Reorganization”) that contemplates certain restructuring transactions that include, among other things, (a) the merger of reorganized EFH with and into OV1 (the “Merger”) and (b) an initial public offering by OV1, which will be the successor to reorganized EFH as a result of the Merger, of shares of common stock (collectively, the “Initial Public Offering”). The Plan of Reorganization, which is an integral element of the Merger transaction, is an exhibit to and incorporated as a part of the Merger Agreement. In addition, as of the date hereof, certain investors (the “Investors”) are entering into an Equity Commitment Letter and a Backstop Agreement (each as defined in the Merger Agreement) pursuant to which they are committing to purchase substantially all of the outstanding equity interests in OV1 at the closing (the “Closing”) of the Merger, the Initial Public Offering and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Equity Commitment Letter and Backstop Agreement are exhibits to and are incorporated as part of the Merger Agreement.


OV1 is a Delaware limited liability company that will be converted into a corporation and will be the successor to EFH at the Closing. OV1 has been formed for the express purpose of carrying out the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Initial Public Offering. In order to facilitate the Initial Public Offering, EFH has developed and will implement an IPO Conversion, which is described in the Merger Agreement. OV1, as the successor to reorganized EFH, is a suitable vehicle for conducting the Initial Public Offering, which will involve the issuance of equity securities of OV1 (and ultimately of the surviving entity in the Merger) to the public pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will result in an active trading market in such securities. For purposes of this offer, OV1 (as successor to reorganized EFH as a result of transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Plan of Reorganization) is referred to, in relation to the initial public offering of IPO Units to be carried out as described above, as the “IPO Corporation.” As set forth in the Plan of Reorganization and the Merger Agreement, all of the existing equity interests in EFH will be cancelled and retired.

This letter constitutes an EFH Sale Proposal and represents an offer to purchase (i) substantially all of the IPO Units in the IPO Corporation or, alternatively, the acquisition of substantially all of the LLC Units in Oncor held indirectly by EFH, which transactions will be implemented through, among other things, the purchase by the Investors of equity interests in the IPO Corporation and the cancellation and retirement of all of the existing equity interests in EFH (which is an integral element of the proposed transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the Plan of Reorganization), and (ii) all of the LLC Units in Oncor that are owned by members of Oncor other than Oncor Holdings. The consummation of the transaction(s) as contemplated by this EFH Sale Proposal will result in a Change of Control.

The form of the purchase agreement to be entered into in order to provide for the purchase and sale of the LLC Units will be provided to TTI and Oncor Management prior to or concurrently with the delivery by EFH of a Required Sale Notice as contemplated by Section 3.3(a) of the Investor Rights Agreement. Such purchase agreement will contain provisions that satisfy the conditions of Section 3.3(d) of the Investor Rights Agreement. Among other things, the form of consideration to be paid to holders of LLC Units other than Oncor Holdings will be cash, and the amount of such consideration will be at least equal to the amount of the purchase price for the LLC Units held by TTI that is required pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Investor Rights Agreement. Such purchase price will, among other things, be sufficient so that TTI will achieve an IRR on its initial investment in the LLC Units which exceeds the IRR Hurdle.

The purchase of IPO Units and LLC Units in accordance with this offer is a part of a merger, recapitalization and sale transaction that, when consummated at the Closing, will result in the Investors (who are a group of Persons acting in concert with respect to the acquisition of EFH and Oncor) owning more of the equity interests in Oncor (or any resulting entity after a merger) than the relevant Related Entity or its Affiliates.


We are available at your earliest convenience to address any questions that you may have about our offer. We look forward to working with you to complete the purchase contemplated hereby.

 

Respectfully yours,

This Exhibit F sets forth certain key terms and undertakings to be included in the PUCT Filing in connection with the PUCT Approval and, to the extent applicable, filings with other Governmental Entities in connection with the Transactions (“Regulatory Filings”).

  1. Establishment of a ring fence with appropriate terms and conditions, as reasonably proposed by Parent with the input and advice of Oncor, taking into account the reduced level of debt that Parent and Reorganized EFIH will have following the Transaction, with the goal that Oncor’s debt maintains its investment grade rating, including specific commitments to protect Oncor from credit risk from its post-closing Affiliates.

 

  2. Commitments that the Oncor Entities will not incur any debt (including by way of guaranty), or mortgage or pledge its assets as collateral, in respect of any debt incurred to finance the Transactions.

 

  3. Commitments to hold Oncor’s customers harmless for any fees or expenses or incremental borrowing costs associated with the Transactions.

 

  4. The conditions and commitments adopted by the PUCT in connection with its approval of the REIT structure in Docket No. 35287 involving Sharyland Utilities, L.P. and SDTS will apply to the Surviving Company, Reorganized EFIH, Oncor and their respective Affiliates such that the substantive effect of the conditions and commitments adopted for each company involved in Docket No. 35287 shall apply to the company in the Surviving Company/Reorganized EFIH/Oncor structure that performs a role or function that corresponds to that company in the Sharyland/SDTS structure to which the condition or commitment applies. These will include conditions relating to the methodology for determining rates, the lessor-lessee relationship under the REIT structure, obligations of the lessor and lessee to fund improvements to Oncor’s transmission and distribution system, and recovery of formation and issuance costs associated with the structure.

 

  5. Other commitments related to preserving jobs, maintaining Oncor’s headquarters in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and filing periodic reports with the PUCT or other applicable Governmental Entities regarding compliance with the proposed terms and undertakings.

 

  6. Commitment to make at least the amount of capital expenditures as set forth in Oncor’s current long range plan for 3 years following the First Closing Date, subject to the following adjustments to the extent reported to the Commission in Oncor’s quarterly earnings monitor report: Oncor may reduce capital spending due to conditions not under Oncor’s control, including, without limitation, siting delays, cancellations of projects by third parties, or weaker than expected economic conditions.

Exhibit G

Form of Amended and Restated Split Participant Agreement

AMENDED AND RESTATED SPLIT PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT

This Amended and Restated Split Participant Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated                     , by and between Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC (“Oncor”) and [REORG TCEH] (“RTCEH”).

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Split Participant Agreement entered into by and between Oncor and Energy Future Holdings Corp. (“EFH”), dated April 28, 2014 (the “Original Agreement”), effective July 1, 2014, welfare benefits for certain current and future retirees of Oncor and EFH whose employment included service with both Oncor (or a predecessor regulated electric business) and a non-regulated business of EFH (such individuals, the “Split Participants”) are provided under the Oncor Retiree Welfare Plan (the “Oncor Plan”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Original Agreement, Oncor is obligated to fund that portion of the welfare benefit costs for the Split Participants with respect to such Split Participants’ period of service with Oncor (or a predecessor regulated electric business), and EFH is obligated to fund the remaining welfare benefit costs of the Split Participants, in each case, less the Split Participants’ contributions (subject to the rights of Oncor and EFH to amend, modify or terminate such benefits at any time);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Original Agreement, beginning on January 1, 2015, Oncor began administering the Oncor Plan (which provides certain welfare benefits to eligible Split Participants following retirement), and EFH agreed to pay Oncor for EFH’s portion of the costs associated with providing welfare benefits coverage for the Split Participants (including certain administrative costs);

WHEREAS, on April 29, 2014, EFH and certain entities in which it, directly or indirectly, holds an equity interest and their respective subsidiaries, excluding Oncor, its parent, Oncor Electric Delivery Holdings Company LLC, and their direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”), commenced voluntary cases under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. § 101 et seq. in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, which cases were jointly administered for procedural purposes only under Case No. 14-10979, Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al., Case No. 14-10979 (CSS) (the “Chapter 11 Cases”);

WHEREAS, EFH, Energy Future Intermediate Holding Company LLC and certain purchasers as set forth therein, entered into that certain Purchase Agreement, dated [            ], 2015 (the “Purchase Agreement”);

WHEREAS, as contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and pursuant to the plan of reorganization confirmed as part of the Chapter 11 Cases (the “Plan”), EFH and RTCEH have been separated pursuant to a tax-free spin-off of RTCEH (the “Separation”);


WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Plan, certain obligations of EFH (including the obligation to fund its portion of the Oncor Plan) will be transferred to and assumed by RTCEH (the “Transfer”);

WHEREAS, the Plan provides that (a) certain distributions to be made thereunder will be funded, in part, from (i) the proceeds of equity investments to be made in one or more investment vehicles (collectively, “MergerCo”) by certain investors with respect to the acquisition by MergerCo of Oncor, and (ii) proceeds from an offering of rights to purchase a portion of the common equity of MergerCo, (b) EFH will merge with and into MergerCo pursuant to that certain Purchase Agreement and Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), and (c) certain first lien claim holders of RTCEH will receive, inter alia, 100% of the RTCEH Common Stock (as defined in the Plan) through a tax-free spin-off of RTCEH (as defined in the Plan);

WHEREAS, as a result of the Separation and the Transfer, Oncor and RTCEH will not be under “common control” within the meaning of Section 414(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or part of a “control group” within the meaning of Section 3(40)(B)(ii) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”);

WHEREAS, as a result of the lack of common control under ERISA, among other things, the Oncor Plan could be a self-insured multiple employer welfare arrangement (a “MEWA”) for purposes of the Texas Insurance Code if both RTCEH and Oncor were to continue to fund the Oncor Plan as described in the Original Agreement beyond the Transition Period (as hereafter defined);

WHEREAS, that certain separation agreement dated October 10, 2007 previously addressed the shared funding of the EFH Retirement Plan and the parties hereto desire and agree to continue such shared funding of the EFH Retirement Plan in accordance with Exhibit B hereunder and that their execution of this Agreement shall evidence their agreement to continue such shared funding thereof;

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend and restate the Original Agreement (a) to provide for coverage of the Split Participants under the Oncor Plan during the Transition Period and, if the parties obtain a written and binding advisory opinion (“Determination”) from the Employee Benefits Security Administration of the U.S. Department of Labor that is issued prior to the close the Transition Period to the effect that the Oncor Plan is not a MEWA, then also during the Extension Period (as hereafter defined); (b) in the event that the parties do not seek or obtain a Determination prior to the close of the Transition Period to the effect that the Oncor Plan is a MEWA, to establish a separate retiree welfare benefit plan for the benefit of the Split Participants (the “Insured Plan”) that is a “fully insured” MEWA within the meaning of Section 514(b)(6) of ERISA under Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA effective no later than immediately prior to the close of the Transition Period; and (c) to set forth the funding obligations of RTCEH and Oncor under the Oncor Plan during the Transition Period or Extension Period, as the case may be and under the Insured Plan, if applicable; and WHEREAS, it is the intention of the parties that RTCEH’s and Oncor’s obligations with respect to the costs of welfare benefits for the Split Participants under the Oncor Plan during the Transition Period or Extension Period, as the case may be and if applicable, under the Insured Plan shall continue to be allocated in a manner consistent with the past practices of Oncor and EFH prior to the Separation and the Transfer.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Coverage of Split Participants for Welfare Benefits.

(a) Transition Period and Extension Period. Medical (including prescription drug coverage), vision, dental, life insurance and supplemental life insurance benefits for the Split Participants, to the extent eligible, will be provided under the Oncor Plan, on the same terms and conditions as heretofore provided under the Oncor Plan through the last day of the calendar year following the Separation and the Transfer, or such earlier date as mutually agreed (the “Transition Period”), or for an indefinite period thereafter if the parties obtain a Determination that is issued prior to the close of the Transition Period to the effect that the Oncor Plan is not a MEWA (the “Extension Period”). Any active employees who will be considered Split Participants when they retire will, to the extent eligible, be eligible for these benefits under the Oncor Plan once they retire and will not be eligible for such benefits under any welfare plans maintained by RTCEH after retirement so long as this Agreement is in effect. Oncor shall for all purposes, including those relating to the Split Participants, be the sponsor of the Oncor Plan and the Insured Plan, and Oncor or its designee shall be the plan administrator for the Oncor Plan and the Insured Plan. RTCEH and Oncor will each continue to pay its own portion of the costs (including administrative costs) associated with providing welfare benefit coverage for the Split Participants according to the allocations set forth in the letter from Aon Hewitt to EFH dated November 13, 2012, which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (together with any mutually agreed-upon updates to said allocations, the “Aon Hewitt Letter”). The Aon Hewitt Letter describes the current and past practice of allocating the costs associated with providing welfare benefit coverage for the Split Participants between Oncor and EFH consistent with the past practices of Oncor and EFH prior to the Separation and the Transfer, and the parties agree that such practices, including the method of allocating any amount that may be required to be contributed to the Oncor Plan during the Transition Period or Extension Period, as the case may be as well as any amounts that may be required to cover the insurance premiums for the Insured Plan, will be continued by RTCEH and Oncor following the Separation and the Transfer for so long as this Agreement is in effect.

2. RTCEH Liability for Split Participants under the Oncor Plan and the Insured Plan. RTCEH will pay Oncor for a portion of the costs of providing retiree welfare benefit coverage for the Split Participants on the following terms and conditions:

(a) During the Transition Period or Extension Period, as the case may be, Aon Hewitt, or another mutually agreed-upon actuary for the Oncor Plan, will calculate the estimated RTCEH Retiree Welfare Liability for each month during the Transition Period or Extension Period, as the case may be. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “RTCEH Retiree Welfare Liability” shall mean RTCEH’s proportionate share of the aggregate benefits obligation costs as allocated pursuant to the Aon Hewitt Letter with respect to medical, vision, dental, and prescription drug coverage and life insurance costs (including Administrative Costs) for each Split Participant, less each Split Participant’s contribution with respect to such RTCEH proportionate share as determined prior to the beginning of each calendar year, in the sole

 

3


discretion of RTCEH. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Administrative Costs” shall mean the total amount of administrative costs and expenses incurred by Oncor in sponsoring, maintaining and administering the Oncor Plan, including without limitation, costs associated with communications to participants, third party vendor/benefit provider administrative costs and costs of legal compliance relating to the Oncor Plan (e.g., preparing Form 5500s, summaries of benefits and coverage, summary annual reports and the like), but excluding actuarial, legal, consulting and accounting fees and costs and overhead expenses of Oncor in maintaining and administering the Oncor Plan. The estimated RTCEH Retiree Welfare Liability shall be determined using reasonable actuarial factors, and the actual RTCEH Retiree Welfare Liability shall be determined by Oncor using actual benefit costs.

(b) Prior to the effective date of this Agreement and prior to the commencement of each subsequent calendar year during the Transition Period or Extension Period, as the case may be, Oncor will provide RTCEH with a calculation of its estimate of the RTCEH Retiree Welfare Liability, including the basis for such calculation in reasonable detail. Oncor will invoice one-twelfth of such amount each month. RTCEH will pay Oncor the full amount provided in the invoice in a single lump sum payment by the first day of the subject month consistent with prior practice.

(c) Following each calendar quarter, Oncor will perform a true-up calculation of the actual RTCEH Retiree Welfare Liability for the calendar quarter (the “Retiree Welfare Quarterly True-Up”). Oncor will notify RTCEH in writing of the results of these true-up calculations and will, upon request, provide RTCEH with the information relied upon to make its calculations. If the aggregate amount of the Retiree Welfare Quarterly True-Up calculations exceeds the amount that RTCEH paid under paragraph (b) above for the same calendar quarter covered by the Retiree Welfare Quarterly True-Up calculation, RTCEH will pay Oncor the amount of such excess in a single lump-sum payment within sixty (60) days of such notification. If the aggregate amount of the Retiree Welfare Quarterly True-Up calculations is less than the amount that RTCEH paid under paragraph (b) above for the same calendar quarter covered by the Retiree Welfare Quarterly True-Up calculations, Oncor will pay RTCEH the amount of such excess in a single lump-sum payment as soon as administratively practicable but no later than thirty (30) days following such notification.

(d) Post Transition Period. If the parties do not seek or obtain a Determination prior to the close of the Transition Period to the effect that the Oncor Plan is not a MEWA, then effective no later than immediately prior to the close of the Transition Period, Oncor shall establish the Insured Plan. Aon Hewitt, or another mutually agreed-upon actuary for the Insured Plan, will calculate the estimated RTCEH Retiree Premium for each year in a manner that is consistent with the Aon Letter and prior practice beginning with the first of the month following the Transition Period. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “RTCEH Retiree Premium” shall mean RTCEH’s proportionate share of the monthly insurance premiums as determined by Aon Hewitt or such other actuary, in a manner consistent with the determination of the RTCEH Retiree Welfare Liability under the Aon Hewitt Letter, for each Split Participant with respect to medical, vision, dental, and prescription drug coverage and life insurance costs, less each Split Participant’s contribution with respect to such RTCEH proportionate share, as determined prior to the beginning of each calendar year, in the sole discretion of RTCEH.

 

4


(e) By the first day of each month, Oncor will provide RTCEH with an invoice for the estimated RTCEH Retiree Premium for the following month. Such invoice will include the basis for the calculation of the invoiced amount in reasonable detail. RTCEH will pay Oncor the full amount provided in the invoice in a single lump sum payment by the first day of the subject month consistent with prior practice.

(f) Following each calendar quarter, Oncor will perform a true-up calculation of the actual RTCEH Retiree Premium for the calendar quarter (the “Retiree Premium Quarterly True-Up”). Oncor will notify RTCEH in writing of the results of these true-up calculations and will, upon request, provide RTCEH with the information relied upon to make its calculations. If the aggregate amount of the Retiree Premium Quarterly True-Up calculations exceeds the amount that RTCEH paid under paragraph (e) above for the same calendar quarter covered by the Retiree Premium Quarterly True-Up calculation, RTCEH will pay Oncor the amount of such excess in a single lump-sum payment within sixty (60) days of such notification. If the aggregate amount of the Retiree Premium Quarterly True-Up calculations is less than the amount that RTCEH paid under paragraph (e) above for the same calendar quarter covered by the Retiree Premium Quarterly True-Up calculations, Oncor will pay RTCEH the amount of such excess in a single lump-sum payment as soon as administratively practicable but no later than thirty (30) days following such notification.

3. Administration. Oncor shall in all respects be responsible for administering the provision of retiree welfare benefits for the Split Participants. For the avoidance of doubt, such administration services shall include but are not limited to: benefit distributions; vendor selection, oversight and management; benefits strategy and plan design; participant communications, including but not limited to those required by law; benefit accounting and claims processing; issue resolution; IRS Form W-2 processing for group term life insurance coverage, Retiree Club Communications and inquiries; participant data and records management; selection and rollout of technology and support; and engagement of actuarial, accounting, consulting and legal services related to the Oncor Plan. Oncor agrees that it will give RTCEH an opportunity to preview all participant communications within the scope of this Agreement prior to the distribution of such communications to the Split Participants.

4. Cooperation. RTCEH and Oncor agree to cooperate with each other in any reasonable manner in order to carry out the terms of this Agreement.

5. Plan Amendments; No Third Party Beneficiary Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a provision of, or an amendment to the Oncor Plan or any other benefit plan maintained by either Oncor or RTCEH, nor shall this Agreement be deemed to limit, in any way, the authority of either Oncor or RTCEH to amend or terminate their respective benefit plans from time to time in accordance with the terms of such plans; provided, however, that Oncor agrees it will not amend, modify or terminate the Oncor Plan or the Insured Plan with respect to the benefits available to the Split Participants for a period of eighteen (18) months following the effective date of this Agreement, without the written consent of RTCEH, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld in connection with implementation of the Insured Plan as contemplated herein and in the Merger Agreement, nor shall Oncor amend, modify or terminate the Oncor Plan or the Insured Plan thereafter without the written consent of RTCEH with respect to the benefits available to the Split Participants unless such amendment,

 

5


modification or termination of the Oncor Plan or the Insured Plan applies to all other current or future retirees receiving post-employment welfare benefits from Oncor or one of its affiliates on a consistent basis. Nothing in this Agreement shall create any third party beneficiary rights for any individual, including without limitation, any Split Participant or his/her dependents, nor shall this Agreement be deemed to provide any Split Participant or dependent, or any other individual, with any right to continued coverage under the Oncor Plan or any other plan of Oncor or RTCEH. This Agreement relates solely to the Split Participants and does not affect Oncor’s welfare benefit obligations related to any participant who is not a Split Participant.

6. Amendment and Termination. This Agreement may be amended or terminated by either party, provided that: (a) as to EFH, such amendment, modification or termination is effectuated upon at least one hundred fifty (150) days’ notice and not effective in the middle of a plan year; and (b) as to Oncor, such amendment, modification or termination (i) is effectuated no earlier than eighteen (18) months following the effective date of this Agreement, (ii) is upon at least one hundred fifty (150) days’ notice and not effective in the middle of a plan year and (iii) a comparable amendment, modification or termination applies to all other current or future retirees receiving post-employment welfare benefits from Oncor or any of its affiliates on a consistent basis. This Agreement will automatically terminate in the event that Oncor terminates the Oncor Plan. The termination of this Agreement will not affect the underlying obligations of EFH and Oncor to the Split Participants.

7. Indemnification. The parties agree to and will defend, protect, indemnify and hold one another harmless from and against all claims, losses, expenses, attorneys’ fees, damages, demands, judgments, causes of action, suits, and liability (“Claims”) related to the other party’s breach of this Agreement, and except as set forth below, any modification of the welfare benefits provided to the Split Participants or material reduction in the rate of contribution by either party under this Agreement.

In the event that an Oncor Entity would, in connection with the maintenance of the Fully Insured Retiree Plan, otherwise be required to maintain the Oncor Retiree Welfare Plan as a fully insured MEWA, the parties to this Agreement agree to work together in good faith, as necessary, to implement an appropriate approach that satisfies any regulatory requirements applicable to the Fully Insured Retiree Plan and the Oncor Retiree Welfare Plan and offsets any material costs that would otherwise be incurred under such circumstances and that are not otherwise recoverable by Oncor through the rate-making process of the PUCT and if such appropriate approach is so implemented, the parties shall have no obligation to defend, protect, indemnify or hold each other harmless from and against Claims directly resulting from such implementation. If after a reasonable period of time the parties to this Agreement are unable to implement an approach that satisfies such regulatory requirements and offsets material costs that would otherwise be incurred and not recoverable by Oncor through such rate-making process, Oncor can amend, modify or terminate the Oncor Plan and the Insured Plan without the written consent of RTCEH such that such amendments, modifications or terminations apply to all current and future retirees receiving post-employment welfare benefits from Oncor or one of its affiliates under such plans on a consistent basis, and the parties shall have no obligation to defend, protect, indemnify and hold each other harmless from and against Claims directly resulting from such amendments, modifications or terminations.

EXHIBIT B

The parties hereto acknowledge that RTCEH sponsors, maintains and administers (or if applicable, will sponsor, maintain and administer) the EFH Retirement Plan that covers certain current and future retirees whose employment included service with both Oncor (or a predecessor regulated electric business) and a non-regulated business of EFH (the “Split Participants”). For the avoidance of doubt, Oncor has elected to not participate, nor permit its employees to participate, in the EFH Retirement Plan. RTCEH shall for all purposes be the sponsor of the EFH Retirement Plan and RTCEH or its designee shall be plan administrator for the EFH Retirement Plan. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that the methods of allocating liabilities, costs and expenses associated with the EFH Retirement Plan among the participating entities that are in effect on the date hereof, including (i) the method of allocating any amount that may be required to be contributed to, or to an account for the benefit of, any trust established for the purpose of funding benefits under any EFH Retirement Plan and (ii) the method for allocating pension liabilities, costs and expenses (which method is described in the direct 2008 rate case testimony filed with the Public Utilities Commission of Texas by Don Shipman, and more specifically described in the letter from Aon Hewitt to EFH dated November 13, 2012, which is attached hereto as Annex A (together with any mutually-agreed upon updates to said allocations, the “Aon Hewitt Pension Letter”)), are fair, appropriate and non-arbitrary, and that each such entity has borne its fair share of such liabilities, costs and expenses. RTCEH shall not alter or otherwise change the method pursuant to which the liabilities, costs and expenses associated with the EFH Retirement Plan have been allocated between RTCEH and Oncor without the prior written consent of Oncor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that RTCEH as sponsor of the EFH Retirement Plan may amend the EFH Retirement Plan at any time, as required by federal laws, in order to ensure that the EFH Retirement Plan maintains its qualified plan status and is in compliance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). RTCEH further agrees it will not amend, modify or terminate the EFH Retirement Plan for a period of eighteen (18) months following the First Closing Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement) without the consent of Oncor, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

Funding the Underfunded Portion of the EFH Retirement Plan. If at any time the EFH Retirement Plan is underfunded and RTCEH delivers to Oncor a written notice requesting that Oncor fund all or a portion of the underfunded amount that is attributable to liabilities for which Oncor is primarily responsible, then Oncor shall promptly fund such amount requested by RTCEH in such notice.

“Note to Form: The parties acknowledge and agree that they shall negotiate in good faith and cooperate to amend the foregoing paragraph prior to the occurrence of the First Closing under the Merger Agreement to reflect this paragraph’s intent, the past practices and relationships of the parties thereto, and the outcome of any arrangements entered into by the parties with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation in respect of the transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement and any related transactions thereto.”

In the event that any Non-Income Tax is not attributable to (and does not arise from) any items relating to any business (e.g., capital Taxes imposed based on the authorized stock), such Non-Income Taxes shall be allocated between the EFH Parties, on the one hand, and Reorganized TCEH, on the other hand, in proportion to the net taxable income of any business retained by any Reorganized EFH Entity or EFH Properties Company, on the one hand, and any business contributed to (or otherwise held on the Effective Date by) any Reorganized TCEH Entity (other than EFH Properties Company), on the other hand.

(d) Other Taxes.

(i) Transfer Taxes, if any, shall be allocated fifty percent (50%) to the EFH Parties and fifty percent (50%) to Reorganized TCEH.

(ii) Income Taxes attributable to a Tax-Free Transaction Failure shall be allocated as set forth in Section 2.05.

(iii) TCEH Preferred Stock Sale Tax shall be allocated to Reorganized TCEH.

(iv) Except in cases where there has been a Tax-Free Transaction Failure, Taxes resulting from any Specified Tax Items shall be allocated to the EFH Parties.

(e) Allocation of Tax Attributes. Tax Attributes, if any, remaining after the Distribution (other than net operating losses) shall be allocated in accordance with the Private Letter Ruling or, if not addressed in the Private Letter Ruling, between the Reorganized EFH Entities, on the one hand, and the Reorganized TCEH Entities, on the other hand, in accordance with the Code and Treasury Regulations, including Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76 (and any applicable state, local and foreign Laws). The allocation of such Tax Attributes shall be determined by treating the Reorganized TCEH Entities as one consolidated group and the Reorganized EFH Entities as a separate and distinct consolidated group. Any disputes shall be resolved by the Accounting Firm in accordance with Section 8.02. The EFH Parties and Reorganized TCEH hereby agree to compute all Taxes consistently with the determination of the allocation of Tax Attributes pursuant to this Section 2.04(e) unless otherwise required by a Final Determination.

Section 11.5 Allocation of Separation-Related Taxes.

Section 11.6 Audits/Redeterminations . Any redetermined Taxes or Tax Attributes resulting from an audit shall be allocated between the EFH Parties, on the one hand, and Reorganized TCEH, on the other hand, in the same manner as they would have been allocated had the redetermined amounts been known at the time the original Tax liability was computed.

 

14


Section 11.7 Expenses . Except as provided in Section 8.02 in respect of the Accounting Firm, each Party shall bear its own expenses incurred in connection with this Article II.

Section 11.8 Timing of Payments. Any reimbursement of Taxes under Section 2.01 shall be made upon the later of (a) two (2) business days before the Due Date of such payment of such Taxes and (b) ten (10) business days after the party required to make such reimbursement has received notice from the party entitled to such reimbursement. For the avoidance of doubt, a party may provide notice of reimbursement of Taxes prior to the time such Taxes were paid, and such notice may represent a reasonable estimate (provided that the amount of reimbursement shall be based on the actual Tax liability and not on such reasonable estimate).

ARTICLE XII

Indemnification

Section 12.1 Indemnification by the EFH Parties. The EFH Parties, on a joint and several basis, shall pay (or cause to be paid), and shall indemnify and hold each Reorganized TCEH Entity harmless from and against, without duplication, all EFH Taxes and all losses or damages arising out of, resulting from or relating to any breach by any Reorganized EFH Entity of any EFH Party representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement.

Section 12.2 Indemnification by Reorganized TCEH. Reorganized TCEH shall pay (or cause to be paid), and shall indemnify and hold each Reorganized EFH Entity harmless from and against, without duplication, all Reorganized TCEH Taxes and all losses or damages arising out of, resulting from or relating to any breach by any Reorganized TCEH Entity of any Reorganized TCEH representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement.

Section 12.3 Characterization of and Adjustments to Payments.

(a) In the absence of a Final Determination to the contrary, for all Tax purposes, the EFH Parties and Reorganized TCEH shall treat or cause to be treated any payment required by this Agreement (other than any payment treated for Tax purposes as interest) as either a contribution by EFH to Reorganized TCEH or a distribution by Reorganized TCEH to EFH, as the case may be, occurring immediately prior to the Effective Date.

(b) Any indemnity payment pursuant to this Agreement shall be (A) increased to include (i) all reasonable accounting, legal, and other professional fees and court costs and damages incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such indemnity payment and (ii) any Tax Cost resulting from the receipt of (or entitlement to) such indemnity payment and (B) decreased to account for any Tax Benefit that the Indemnified Party actually realizes by way of a Refund or a decrease in Taxes reported on a filed Tax Return (in or with respect to a taxable year that ends on or before December 31, 2021) in connection with the incurrence or the payment by the Indemnified Party of such fees or costs or indemnifiable amounts determined using a “with and without” methodology (treating any deductions attributable to such fees or costs or indemnifiable amounts as the last items claimed for any taxable year, including after the utilization of any available net operating loss carryovers).

 

15


Section 12.4 Timing of Indemnification Payments. Indemnification payments in respect of any liabilities for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article III shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party within ten (10) days after written notification thereof by the Indemnified Party, including reasonably satisfactory documentation setting forth the basis for, and calculation of, the amount of such indemnification payment.

Section 12.5 Exclusive Remedy. Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, the EFH Parties and Reorganized TCEH hereby agree that the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of a party for any breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in Section 6.01 shall be the indemnification rights set forth in this Article III.

Section 12.6 No Duplicative Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, it is intended that the provisions of this Agreement will not result in a duplicative payment of any amount required to be paid under any other Transaction Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed accordingly.

ARTICLE XIII

Refunds, Timing Differences, and Tax Attributes

Section 13.1 Refunds.

(a) Except as provided in Section 4.02, the EFH Parties shall be entitled to all Refunds of Taxes for which an EFH Party is responsible pursuant to Article III, and Reorganized TCEH shall be entitled to all Refunds of Taxes for which Reorganized TCEH is responsible pursuant to Article III. A Party receiving a Refund to which the other Party is entitled pursuant to this Agreement shall pay the amount to which such other Party is entitled (less any Tax or other reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the first Party in receiving such Refund) within ten (10) days after the receipt of the Refund.

(b) To the extent that the amount of any Refund under this Section 4.01 is later reduced by a Taxing Authority or in a Tax Proceeding, such reduction shall be allocated to the Party to which such Refund was allocated pursuant to this Section 4.01 and an appropriate adjusting payment shall be made.

Section 13.2 Timing Differences. If pursuant to a Final Determination any Tax Attribute (including those allocated pursuant to Section 2.04(e)) is made allowable to a Reorganized TCEH Entity as a result of an adjustment to any Taxes for which an EFH Party is responsible hereunder (other than Taxes attributable to a Tax-Free Transaction Failure) and such Tax Attribute would not have arisen or been allowable but for such adjustment, or if pursuant to a Final Determination any Tax Attribute is made allowable to a Reorganized EFH Entity as a result of an adjustment to any Taxes for which Reorganized TCEH is responsible hereunder and such Tax Attribute would not have arisen or been allowable but for such adjustment, Reorganized TCEH or the EFH Parties (on a joint a several basis), as the case may be, shall make a payment to either the applicable EFH Party or Reorganized TCEH, as appropriate, within thirty (30) days after such Party (or its Affiliates) actually realizes a Tax benefit by way of a Refund or a decrease in Taxes reported on a filed Tax Return (in or with respect to a taxable year that ends on or before December 31, 2021) that is attributable to such

 

16


Tax Attribute, determined using a “with and without” methodology (treating any deductions or amortization attributable to such Tax Attributes as the last items claimed for any taxable year, including after the utilization of any available net operating loss carryovers), provided that no payment shall be made under this Section unless Reorganized TCEH or the applicable EFH Party, as the case may be, has previously paid the Tax adjustment or indemnified the other Party for such Tax adjustment. In the event of any overlap between Section 3.03 and this Section 4.02, this Section 4.02 shall apply and Section 3.03 shall not apply.

ARTICLE XIV

Tax Proceedings

Section 14.1 Notification of Tax Proceedings. Within ten (10) days after an Indemnified Party becomes aware of the commencement of a Tax Proceeding that may give rise to an indemnity payment pursuant to Article III, such Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such Tax Proceeding, and thereafter shall promptly forward or make available to the Indemnifying Party copies of notices and communications relating to such Tax Proceeding. The failure of the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement of any such Tax Proceeding within such ten (10) day period or promptly forward any further notices or communications shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any obligation which it may have to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement except to the extent (and only to the extent) that the Indemnifying Party is actually materially prejudiced by such failure.

Section 14.2 Tax Proceeding Procedures.

(a) EFH. EFH shall be entitled to contest, compromise, and settle any adjustment that is proposed, asserted or assessed pursuant to any Tax Proceeding with respect to any Tax Return it is responsible for preparing pursuant to Article II; provided that to the extent that such Tax Proceeding relates to Reorganized TCEH Taxes or would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the Tax position of any Reorganized TCEH Entity for any Post-Distribution Period, EFH shall (i) keep Reorganized TCEH informed in a timely manner of the material actions proposed to be taken by EFH with respect to such Tax Proceeding, (ii) permit Reorganized TCEH at its own expense to participate in the aspects of such Tax Proceeding that relate to Reorganized TCEH Taxes, and (iii) not settle any aspect of such Tax Proceeding that relates to Reorganized TCEH Taxes without the prior written consent of Reorganized TCEH, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Reorganized TCEH shall have the right to control any Tax Proceeding that relates primarily to Taxes for which Reorganized TCEH has an indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 3.02.

(b) Reorganized TCEH. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.02(a), Reorganized TCEH shall be entitled to contest, compromise, and settle any adjustment that is proposed, asserted or assessed pursuant to any Tax Proceeding with respect to any Tax Return it is responsible for preparing pursuant to Article II; provided that to the extent that such Tax Proceeding relates to EFH Taxes or would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the Tax position of any Reorganized EFH Entity, Reorganized TCEH shall (i) keep EFH informed in a timely manner of the material actions proposed to be taken by Reorganized TCEH with respect to such Tax Proceeding, (ii) permit EFH at its own expense to participate in the aspects of such Tax Proceeding that relate to EFH Taxes, and (iii) not settle any aspect of such Tax Proceeding that relates to EFH Taxes without the prior written consent of EFH, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, EFH shall have the right to control any Tax Proceeding that relates primarily to Taxes for which EFH has an indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 3.01.

ARTICLE XV

Intended Tax Treatment

Section 15.1 Restrictions Relating to the Distribution.

(a) General. Following the Distribution, (i) the EFH Parties will not (and will cause each other Reorganized EFH Entity not to) take any action (or refrain from taking any action) which is inconsistent with the facts presented and the representations made prior to the Effective Date in the Tax Materials and (ii) Reorganized TCEH will not (and will cause each other Reorganized TCEH Entity not to) take any action (or refrain from taking any action) which is inconsistent with the facts presented and the representations made prior to the Effective Date in the Tax Materials. Each of the EFH Parties and Reorganized TCEH covenants and agrees that it will not take, and will cause its respective Affiliates to refrain from taking, any position on any Tax Return that is inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment, except as required by a Final Determination.

(b) Restrictions. Without derogating from the generality of Section 6.01(a), following the Distribution and prior to the first day following the second anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Restriction Period”), each EFH Party and Reorganized TCEH shall, and except with respect to clause (iii) of this Section 6.01(b), shall cause each of its respective Subsidiaries set forth on Exhibit A to:

(i) continue the active conduct of each trade or business (for purposes of Section 355(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder) (A) that it was engaged in immediately prior to the Distribution (taking into account Section 355(b)(3) of the Code), (B) that was being relied upon for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Section 355(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder and (C) the substantial assets of which are identified on Exhibit B;

(ii) continue to hold certain assets identified on Exhibit B and held at the time of the Distribution;

(iii) not dissolve or liquidate or take any action that is a liquidation for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

(iv) not merge or consolidate with any other Person with such other Person surviving the merger or consolidation in a transaction that does not qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code;

(v) not redeem or otherwise repurchase (directly or indirectly through an Affiliate) any of its equity other than pursuant to open market stock repurchase programs meeting the requirements of Section 4.05(1)(b) of Rev. Proc. 96-30, 1996-1 C.B. 696; and

(vi) not directly or indirectly acquire any of the Preferred Stock.

 

18


(c) Certain Exceptions. Notwithstanding the restrictions imposed by Section 6.01(b), during the Restriction Period, the EFH Parties and Reorganized TCEH may proceed with any of the actions or transactions described therein, if:

(i) such action or transaction is described in (or is otherwise consistent with) the facts in the Private Letter Ruling;

(ii) a supplemental private letter ruling is received from the IRS in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to EFH and Reorganized TCEH to the effect that such action or transaction will not affect the Intended Tax Treatment of any applicable transaction;

(iii) EFH or Reorganized TCEH, as the case may be, obtains an Unqualified Tax Opinion with respect to such action or transaction at least thirty (30) days prior to effecting such action or transaction;

(iv) such action is the issuing of stock or options to employees under a compensation plan adopted after the Distribution; or

(v) such action by the EFH Parties and/or their Affiliates is approved in writing by Reorganized TCEH and such action by Reorganized TCEH and/or its Affiliates is approved in writing by EFH.

If the EFH Parties, on the one hand, or Reorganized TCEH, on the other, notifies the other Party that it desires to take one of the actions described in Section 6.01(b) (a “Notified Action”), the EFH Parties and Reorganized TCEH shall cooperate in obtaining a supplemental private letter ruling from the IRS or an Unqualified Tax Opinion for the purpose of permitting the EFH Parties or Reorganized TCEH to take the Notified Action.

ARTICLE XVI

Cooperation

Section 16.1 General Cooperation. The Parties shall each cooperate fully (and each shall cause its respective Subsidiaries to cooperate fully) with all reasonable requests in writing or via e-mail from another Party, or from an agent, representative or advisor to such Party, in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns, claims for Refunds, Tax Proceedings, Tax ruling requests, and calculations of amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, related or attributable to or arising in connection with Taxes of any of the Parties or their respective Subsidiaries covered by this Agreement and the establishment of any reserve required in connection with any financial reporting (a “Tax Matter”). Such cooperation shall include the provision of any information reasonably necessary or helpful in connection with a Tax Matter and shall include at each Party’s own cost:

(i) the provision, in hard copy and electronic forms, of any Tax Returns of the Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, books, records (including information regarding ownership and Tax basis of property), documentation, and other information relating to such Tax Returns, including accompanying schedules, related work papers, and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by Taxing Authorities;

 

19


(ii) the execution of any document (including any power of attorney) reasonably requested by another Party in connection with any Tax Proceedings of any of the Parties or their respective Subsidiaries, or the filing of a Tax Return or a Refund claim of the Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries; and

(iii) the use of the Party’s reasonable best efforts to obtain any documentation in connection with a Tax Matter.

Section 16.2 Retention of Records. The EFH Parties and Reorganized TCEH shall retain or cause to be retained all Tax Returns, schedules, and work papers, and all material records or other documents relating thereto in their possession, including all such electronic records, and shall maintain all hardware necessary to retrieve such electronic records, in all cases until sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (including any waivers or extensions thereof) of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate or until the expiration of any additional period that any Party reasonably requests, in writing, with respect to specific material records and documents. A Party intending to destroy any material records or documents shall provide the other Party with reasonable advance notice and the opportunity to copy or take possession of such records and documents. The Parties will notify each other in writing of any waivers or extensions of the applicable statute of limitations that may affect the period for which the foregoing records or other documents must be retained.

Section 16.3 Failure to Perform. If a Party materially fails to comply with any of its obligations set forth in Section 7.01 or Section 7.02 upon reasonable request and notice by the other Party, and such failure results in the imposition of additional Taxes, the non-performing Party shall be liable in full for such additional Taxes notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement.

ARTICLE XVII

Miscellaneous

Section 17.1 Governing law. This Agreement and all issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement, and interpretation of this Agreement (and all Schedules and Exhibits) shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal laws of the State of Delaware shall control the interpretation and construction of this Agreement (and all Schedules and Exhibits), even though under that jurisdiction’s choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply.

Section 17.2 Dispute Resolution. In the event of any dispute among the Parties as to any matter covered by Section 2.02 and Section 2.04, the Parties shall appoint a nationally recognized independent public accounting firm (the “Accounting Firm”) to resolve such dispute. In this regard, the Accounting Firm shall make determinations with respect to the disputed items based solely on representations made by the EFH Parties and Reorganized TCEH and their respective

 

20


representatives, and not by independent review, and shall function only as an expert and not as an arbitrator and shall be required to make a determination in favor of one Party only. The Parties shall require the Accounting Firm to resolve all disputes no later than thirty (30) days after the submission of such dispute to the Accounting Firm and agree that all decisions by the Accounting Firm with respect thereto shall be final and conclusive and binding on the Parties. The Accounting Firm shall resolve all disputes in a manner consistent with this Agreement. The Parties shall require the Accounting Firm to render all determinations in writing and to set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for such determination.

Section 17.3 Tax Sharing Agreements. All Tax sharing, indemnification, and similar agreements, written or unwritten, as between a Reorganized EFH Entity, on the one hand, and a Reorganized TCEH Entity, on the other (other than this Agreement and any other agreement for which Taxes is not the principal subject matter), shall be or shall have been terminated (and, to the extent provided under the Plan, settled) no later than the Effective Date and, after the Effective Date, no Reorganized EFH Entity or Reorganized TCEH Entity shall have any further rights or obligations under any such Tax sharing, indemnification or similar agreement, except as provided in the Plan.

Section 17.4 Interest on Late Payments. With respect to any payment among the Parties pursuant to this Agreement not made by the due date set forth in this Agreement for such payment, the outstanding amount will accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate in effect for underpayments under Section 6621 of the Code from such due date to and including the payment date.

Section 17.5 Survival of Covenants. Except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, the covenants and agreements contained herein to be performed following the Distribution shall survive the Distribution in accordance with their respective terms.

Section 17.6 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance shall be declared judicially to be invalid, unenforceable or void, such decision shall not have the effect of invalidating or voiding the remainder of this Agreement, it being the intent and agreement of the Parties that this Agreement shall be deemed amended by modifying such provision to the extent necessary to render it valid, legal, and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted while preserving its intent or, if such modification is not possible, by substituting therefor another provision that is valid, legal, and enforceable and that achieves the original intent of the Parties.

Section 17.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Exhibits, the other Transaction Agreements, the Plan and the other documents referred to herein shall constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede all previous negotiations, commitments, and writings with respect to such subject matter. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, in the case of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any other agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

Section 17.8 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, benefits or obligations hereunder may be assigned by any of the Parties (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any purported assignment without such consent shall be null and void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

 

21


Section 17.9 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person (other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns) any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, and, except as provided in Article III relating to certain indemnitees, no Person shall be deemed a third party beneficiary under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 17.10 Affiliates. Each EFH Party shall cause to be performed, and hereby guarantees the performance of, all actions, agreements, and obligations set forth herein to be performed by an Affiliate of such EFH Party, and Reorganized TCEH shall cause to be performed, and hereby guarantees the performance of, all actions, agreements, and obligations set forth herein to be performed by an Affiliate of Reorganized TCEH.

Section 17.11 Amendments; Waivers. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the Parties. No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right hereunder. Any agreement on the part of any Party to any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party.

Section 17.12 Interpretation. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement, and in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

Section 17.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or portable document format (PDF) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of any such Agreement.

Section 17.14 Confidentiality. Each Party shall hold and cause its directors, officers, employees, advisors, and consultants to hold in strict confidence, unless compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process or, in the opinion of its counsel, by other requirements of law, all information (other than any such information relating solely to the business or affairs of such party) concerning the other Party furnished it by such other Party or its representatives pursuant to this Agreement (except to the extent that such information can be shown to have been (a) in the public domain through no fault of such Party or (b) later lawfully acquired from other sources not under a duty of confidentiality by the party to which it was furnished), and no Party shall release or disclose such information to any other Person, except its directors, officers, employees, auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, bankers or other consultants who shall be advised of and agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 8.14. Each Party shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to hold confidential information concerning or supplied by the other Party if it exercises the same care as it takes to preserve confidentiality for its own similar information. Except as required by law or with the prior written consent of the other Party, all Tax Returns, documents, schedules, work papers and

 

22


similar items and all information contained therein, and any other information that is obtained by a Party or any of its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement, shall be kept confidential by such Party and its Affiliates and representatives, shall not be disclosed to any other Person, and shall be used only for the purposes provided herein. If a Party or any of its Affiliates is required by law to disclose any such information, such Party shall give written notice to the other Party prior to making such disclosure.

Section 17.15 Waiver of Jury Trial. AS A SPECIFICALLY BARGAINED INDUCEMENT FOR EACH PARTY TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT (WITH EACH PARTY HAVING HAD OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT COUNSEL), EACH PARTY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF WHICH PARTY INITIATES SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENT SHALL BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.

Section 17.16 Jurisdiction; Service of Process. Any action with respect to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder brought by a Party or its successors or assigns, in each case, shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Bankruptcy Court (or, if the Bankruptcy Court declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, then the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware, and if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware declines jurisdiction, then any state or federal court sitting in Delaware). Each Party hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Action with respect to this Agreement (a) any claim that is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve in accordance with this Section 8.16, (b) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise), and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any claim that (i) the Action in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such Action is improper or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. Each Party further agrees that no Party to this Agreement shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 8.16 and each Party waives any objection to the imposition of such relief or any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument. The Parties hereby agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 8.17, or in such other manner as may be permitted by law, shall be valid and sufficient service thereof and hereby waive any objections to service accomplished in the manner herein provided. NOTWITHSTANDING THIS Section 8.16, ANY DISPUTE REGARDING SECTION 2.02 OR SECTION 2.04 SHALL BE RESOLVED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 8.02; PROVIDED THAT THE TERMS OF SECTION 8.02 MAY BE ENFORCED BY EITHER PARTY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION 8.16.

RIGHTS OFFERING

Pursuant to the Rights Offering, the Company will distribute, in accordance with this Agreement and the Plan of Reorganization, to each Rights Offering Participant (including each Investor that is a Rights Offering Participant) that number of rights (each, a “Right”) that will enable (i) such Rights Holder that is a Rights Offering Participant (excluding holders of Allowed TCEH First Lien Secured Claims) to purchase its pro rata portion (as specified in Section 2.2(b)(i)) of the Shares to be issued in the Rights Offering, at a purchase price per Share, which will be the same for all Rights Holders (and all Equity Commitment Parties (as defined in the Equity Commitment Letter) with respect to shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to the Equity

Commitment Letter), and shall be determined by the Company prior to the Rights Distribution Date (such per Share purchase price, the “Purchase Price”), which would result (if fully subscribed) in the receipt of aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $5,087,250,000 and (ii) such Rights Holder that is a holder of an Allowed TCEH First Lien Secured Claim to purchase its pro rata portion (as specified in Section 2.2(b)(ii)) of the Shares to be issued in the Rights Offering, at the Purchase Price, which would result (if fully subscribed) in the receipt of aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $700,000,000. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any Rights issuable pursuant to Section 2.1(i) become Assigned C5 Rights (as defined in the Plan of Reorganization), the Shares issuable upon exercise of such Rights shall not be excluded from the calculation of an Investor’s Allocated Portion or the number of Unsubscribed Shares and the Backstop Commitments shall not be altered or reduced as a result of such assignment. The Company will conduct the Rights Offering in accordance with this Agreement and the Plan of Reorganization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate gross proceeds to be raised from Rights offered to Rights Offering Participants (excluding holders of Allowed TCEH First Lien Secured Claims) may be reduced in accordance with Section 2.1 of the Company Disclosure Letter at any time prior to or following the Plan Effective Date, and the number of Shares to be offered in, or sold pursuant to, such Rights Offering to Rights Offering Participants (excluding holders of Allowed TCEH First Lien Secured Claims) shall be reduced accordingly on a pro rata basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent a Rights Offering Participant is the holder of both Allowed TCEH First Lien Secured Claims and other Rights Offering Allowed Claims, such Rights Offering Participant shall be entitled to receive Rights pursuant to both Section 2.1(ii) in respect of its Allowed TCEH First Lien Secured Claims and Section 2.1(i) in respect of its other Rights Offering Allowed Claims, and such Rights Offering Participant shall not be excluded from any group of Rights Holders or, if applicable, Investors, solely by virtue of its holding both Allowed TCEH First Lien Secured Claims and other Rights Offering Allowed Claims,

Section 2.2 Procedure of Rights Offering. The Rights Offering will be conducted as follows:

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, the Company shall offer the Shares for subscription by Rights Holders pursuant to the Rights Offering.

(b) The Company shall, no later than twenty (20) Business Days after the later of the date the Bankruptcy Court has entered the Confirmation Order and the Securities Act Effective Date, issue to (i) each Rights Offering Participant (other than in respect of Allowed TCEH First Lien Secured Claims) as of the Rights Offering Record Date (the date of such issuance, the “Rights Distribution Date”) sufficient Rights to purchase its pro rata portion of the aggregate number of Shares offered to the Rights Offering Participants in the Rights Offering (pursuant to Section 2.1(i)), based on the Rights Offering Allowed Claims held by such Rights Offering Participant (other than in respect of an Allowed TCEH First Lien Secured Claim) in relation to the aggregate amount of Rights Offering Allowed Claims held by all Rights Offering Participants (other than in respect of Allowed TCEH First Lien Secured Claims), and (ii) each holder of an Allowed TCEH First Lien Secured Claim as of the Rights Offering Record Date sufficient Rights to purchase its pro rata portion of the aggregate number of Shares offered to holders of Allowed TCEH First Lien Secured Claims in the Rights Offering pursuant to Section 2.1(ii), based on the Allowed TCEH First Lien Secured Claims held by such holder of Allowed TCEH First Lien Secured Claims in relation to the aggregate amount of Allowed TCEH First Lien Secured Claims held by all holders of Allowed TCEH First Lien Secured Claims.

(c) Except to the extent otherwise determined by the Company, the Rights Offering will be conducted as a Private Rights Offering and as a Public Rights Offering as follows: (i) the Private Rights Offering shall be made to each holder of Allowed TCEH First Lien Secured Claims that is party to the Plan Support Agreement which would be entitled to Rights to purchase (together with any other

 

6


holder of Allowed First Lien Secured Claims that is a direct or indirect Subsidiary or Affiliate of, or investment fund, fund or account that is advised, managed or controlled by, such holder or its Affiliates) such number of Shares in the Rights Offering having an aggregate Purchase Price of at least $50 million and each Investor that, in each case, elects to fund the Purchase Price of any portion of its Rights by providing a Qualifying Letter of Credit to the Company, with each such holder of Allowed TCEH First Lien Secured Claims or Investor receiving such Rights and being entitled to purchase the Shares underlying such Rights in a private placement pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act provided by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act, provided that such holder of Allowed TCEH First Lien Secured Claims or Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act; and (ii) the Public Rights Offering will be made to all other Rights Offering Participants and holders of Allowed TCEH First Lien Secured Claims as of the Rights Offering Record Date pursuant to the Registration Statement. The Company and EFH shall distribute the Prospectus and any related materials to each Rights Offering Participant in the Public Rights Offering. Each of the Registration Statement and Prospectus shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, EFH and EFIH. Subject to applicable securities laws, (A) Investors shall have the ability to elect to participate in the Public Rights Offering or the Private Rights Offering, in each case with respect to all or a portion of such Investor’s Rights and at any time until the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the initial filing of the Registration Statement or such later date as may be determined by the Company and (B) the Company may, in its sole discretion, permit Investors to participate in both the Public Rights Offering and the Private Rights Offering by funding a portion of the Purchase Price of the Rights that it exercises in cash and a portion of such amount by way of a Qualifying Letter of Credit. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company may decide in its sole discretion to conduct the Rights Offering solely as a Public Rights Offering, permitting the Investors to fund all or a portion of the aggregate Purchase Price of such Rights exercised by the Investors by way of a Qualifying Letter of Credit, if, after consultation with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company determines that it is possible to conduct the Rights Offering as a public offering while retaining the possibility of allowing funding through Qualifying Letters of Credit to certain Investors and/or holders of Allowed TCEH First Lien Secured Claims in compliance with applicable securities laws.

(d) The Rights may be exercised during a period (the “Rights Exercise Period”) commencing on the Rights Distribution Date and ending at the Expiration Time. In order to validly exercise a Right, a Rights Holder must deliver to the Subscription Agent a written certification (the “Exercising Certification”) that such Rights Holder holds Rights Offering Allowed Claims or Allowed TCEH First Lien Secured Claims (with respect to each exercising Rights Holder, its “Reported Claim”). In addition, the Plan of Reorganization shall provide that to validly exercise a Right, a Rights Holder shall, during the Rights Exercise Period, (i) return a duly executed subscription document to the Subscription Agent electing to exercise all or a portion of the Rights held by such Rights Holder and (ii) pay an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Price for the number of Shares that such Rights Holder validly elects to purchase pursuant to its Right in accordance with Section 2.2(h). In the Public Rights Offering, the payment of the aggregate Purchase Price for the exercise of Rights shall be made by wire transfer of cash in immediately available funds into the Escrow Account (as defined below) in accordance with Section 2.2(h). In the Private Rights Offering, the payment of the aggregate Purchase Price for the exercise of Rights shall be made by delivery to the Subscription Agent of a Qualifying Letter of Credit. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent an Investor that has funded its Purchase Price for the exercise of Rights by way of a Qualifying Letter of Credit from funding into the Escrow Account an amount of cash equal to all or a portion of the Qualifying Letter of Credit in order to reduce the amount funded by way of a Qualifying Letter of Credit, provided that the Shares underlying such Rights shall remain a part of the Private Rights Offering. The Rights are not separately transferable from the Rights Offering Allowed Claims or Allowed TCEH First Lien Secured Claims held by the applicable Rights Holder.

 

7


(e) No later than the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date on which the Expiration Time occurs (the “Determination Date”), the Subscription Agent shall deliver to each Investor, the Company, EFH and EFIH a written certification of (i) the number of Shares validly elected to be purchased by Rights Holders pursuant to the Rights, (ii) the aggregate Purchase Price therefor paid by Rights Holders in the Rights Offering, and (iii) the number of Unsubscribed Shares, if any, and the aggregate Purchase Price therefor (a “Purchase Notice”).

(f) At least twenty (20) Business Days prior to the First Closing Date or such shorter period as the Company and the Subscription Agent agree, the Company shall instruct the Subscription Agent to deliver to each Exercising Holder a written notice instructing such Exercising Holder to deliver to the Subscription Agent a written certification (the “Issuing Certification”), no later than a date determined by the Company and included in such notice, that such Rights Holder holds an aggregate principal amount of Rights Offering Allowed Claims or Allowed TCEH First Lien Secured Claims equal to the lesser of (i) $1,000,000 and (ii) its Reported Claim. If an Exercising Holder does not deliver the Issuing Certification by the date set out in the notice specified in the previous sentence, (A) it shall forfeit its Rights and any amounts paid by it or on its behalf in connection with the exercise of its Rights, and (B) the Company shall have the right to offer and sell the Shares represented by such Exercising Holder’s Rights on its behalf to any Person or Persons in the Company’s sole discretion.

(g) On the First Closing Date, in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company will issue, solely in book-entry form (except to the extent that an Investor requests in writing delivery of a physical Share certificate), to each Rights Holder that validly exercised Rights and delivered the Purchase Price in respect thereof in accordance with this Agreement, the number of Shares to which such Rights Holder is entitled based on such exercise. All such Shares will be issued with all issue, stamp, transfer, sales and use, or similar Taxes or duties that are due and payable (if any, including pursuant to Section 1146 of the Bankruptcy Code) in connection with such delivery duly paid by the Surviving Company out of the proceeds of the Equity Financing.

(h) All amounts paid by the Rights Holders in the Rights Offering in connection with the exercise of their Rights shall be held for the benefit of the Company in a non-interest-bearing escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) established by the Company with the Subscription Agent. The Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) by and among the Company, EFH, EFIH and the Subscription Agent establishing such Escrow Account shall be on terms reasonably acceptable to EFH, EFIH and the Company and shall provide, among other things, that: (i) any funds in the Escrow Account shall be released to the Company and the Subscription Agent shall be able to draw on the Qualifying Letters of Credit only upon the express written instruction of the Company in accordance with Section 3.2(b) and (ii) all fees and expenses of the Subscription Agent in connection therewith shall be paid by the Company. The funds held in such Escrow Account shall only be released to the Company, the Investors and the Rights Holders, in each case in the circumstances expressly permitted in this Agreement.

(i) Each Rights Holder that validly exercised its Rights shall be entitled, upon written notice to the Company, to irrevocably withdraw a previous exercise of Rights after the withdrawal deadline established in the Registration Statement if (i) there are changes to the Plan of Reorganization after the withdrawal deadline that the Bankruptcy Court determines are materially adverse to the Rights Holders and (ii) the Bankruptcy Court requires resolicitation of votes under Section 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code or an opportunity to change previously cast acceptances or rejections of the Plan of Reorganization. If any Rights Holder validly exercises a withdrawal right, the Subscription Agent shall promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days after such withdrawal, deliver to each Investor, the Company, EFH and EFIH a written update to the Purchase Notice certifying (i) the number of Shares validly elected to be purchased by Rights Holders pursuant to the Rights, taking such withdrawals into account and (ii) the aggregate Purchase Price therefor paid by Rights Holders in the Rights Offering, taking such withdrawals into account and (iii) the number of Unsubscribed Shares, if any, and the

aggregate Purchase Price therefor, taking such withdrawals into account. Promptly following receipt of such update, (i) each Rights Holder in the Private Rights Offering that has validly withdrawn all or a portion of a previous exercise of Rights and had funded all or a portion of the payment of its Purchase Price with a Qualifying Letter of Credit, shall cause any Qualifying Letter of Credit issued on its behalf, and that does not, by its terms, provide for the automatic reduction of the amount of such Qualifying Letter of Credit in accordance with this Section 2.2(i), to be promptly replaced with a new Qualifying Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Exercising Holder’s reduced aggregate Purchase Price, if any, (after taking into account such withdrawal and the amount of any cash which will remain in the Escrow Account in respect of such reduced aggregate Purchase Price, if any) and the Company shall promptly give written instruction to the Subscription Agent to release to each such Rights Holder from the Escrow Account each Qualifying Letter of Credit that has been so replaced and (ii) with respect to each Rights Holder that has validly withdrawn all or a portion of a previous exercise of Rights and had funded all or a portion of the payment of its Purchase Price in cash into the Escrow Account, the Company shall deliver written instructions to the Subscription Agent to release from the Escrow Account any cash in excess of such Rights Holder’s reduced aggregate Purchase Price, if any, (after taking into account such withdrawal and the amount of any Qualifying Letter of Credit that will remain in the Escrow Account in respect of such reduced aggregate Purchase Price).

(j) If the number of Shares to be offered or sold in the Rights Offering is reduced in accordance with Section 2.1 after the Expiration Time, then no adjustment to the per Share Purchase Price shall be made, but the Subscription Agent shall make appropriate adjustment to reduce the number of Shares (the number of reduced Shares referred to as “Excess Shares”) to be purchased by, and issued to, each applicable Exercising Holder on a pro rata basis to reflect the Excess Shares (and the aggregate Purchase Price payable by each Exercising Holder shall be proportionately reduced). In such event, the Company shall, or shall cause the Subscription Agent to, promptly deliver to each Exercising Holder, EFH and EFIH a written notice of such reduction. Promptly following receipt of such notice, (i) each Exercising Holder in the Private Rights Offering that has funded the payment of its Purchase Price with a Qualifying Letter of Credit, shall cause any Qualifying Letter of Credit issued on its behalf, and that does not, by its terms, provide for the automatic reduction of the amount of such Qualifying Letter of Credit in accordance with this Section 2.2(j), to be promptly replaced with a new Qualifying Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Exercising Holder’s reduced aggregate Purchase Price (after taking into account any cash which will remain in the Escrow Account in respect of such reduced aggregate Purchase Price), and the Company shall promptly give written instruction to the Subscription Agent to release to each such Exercising Holder from the Escrow Account each Qualifying Letter of Credit that has been so replaced and (ii) with respect to each Exercising Holder that funded all or a portion of the payment of its Purchase Price in cash into the Escrow Account, the Company shall deliver written instructions to the Subscription Agent to release from the Escrow Account any cash in excess of such Exercising Holder’s reduced aggregate Purchase Price (after taking into account the amount of any Qualifying Letter of Credit that will remain in the Escrow Account in respect of such reduced aggregate Purchase Price).

(k) It is understood and agreed that the Company may become obligated under the Merger Agreement or other Transaction Agreements to pay certain fees and expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement (including approximately $27,500,000 to the Lenders under the Fee Letter) prior to First Closing (collectively “Transaction Fees”) and that such Transaction Fees are for the benefit of the Investors and the Exercising Holders. For the purpose of ensuring that each Exercising Holder pays its proportionate share of any Transaction Fees, the Escrow Agreement shall provide that the Subscription Agent shall establish from the amount funded into the Escrow Account a reserve in the amount of $44,800,000 (the “Expense Reserve”), from which any Transaction Fees shall be paid in accordance with this Section 2.2(k). Consequently, if any of the Transaction Fees become due and payable, Exercising Holders and each Investor shall be responsible for their respective proportionate shares of such Transaction Fees and the Company may give written

instruction to the Subscription Agent to release such proportionate share of the Transaction Fees from the Expense Reserve for the purpose of paying the Exercising Holders’ proportionate shares of such Transaction Fees. In connection with any amount to be released under this Section 2.2(k), the Company shall instruct the Subscription Agent to draw an appropriate amount from each Qualifying Letter of Credit delivered to the Subscription Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(d) and to allocate such amount to the Expense Reserve in order to give effect to the foregoing. For the purpose of this Section 2.2(k), the proportionate share of each Exercising Holder shall be calculated by dividing (i) the total Purchase Price paid by such Exercising Holder by (ii) the amount of the Equity Financing. If the First Closing occurs, the funds in the Expense Reserve shall be released to the Company at the First Closing. If the First Closing does not occur, the funds in the Expense Reserve shall be released to Exercising Holders if this Agreement is terminated only when all claims for payment of any Transaction Fees that may be payable by the Company have been fully resolved.

(l) The Company may with the prior written consent of EFH and EFIH (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) modify the procedures set forth in this Section 2.2 or adopt such additional detailed procedures consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.2 to more efficiently administer the exercise of the Rights (including such modifications as may be deemed advisable in connection with the Private Letter Ruling).

ARTICLE III

THE UNSUBSCRIBED SHARES COMMITMENT

Section 3.1 The Unsubscribed Shares Commitment. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Investor agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase, and the Company agrees to sell to such Investor, on the First Closing Date for the Purchase Price per Share, such Investor’s Allotted Portion of the Unsubscribed Shares (taking into account any adjustments thereto in accordance with Article II), rounded down to the nearest whole number to avoid fractional shares (such obligation to purchase the Unsubscribed Shares, the “Unsubscribed Shares Commitment”), provided that the aggregate Unsubscribed Shares Commitment shall not exceed $5,087,250,000.

Section 3.2 Funding the Unsubscribed Shares Commitment.

(a) On the fifth (5th) Business Day following the delivery of the Purchase Notice (the “Backstop Funding Date”), subject to the prior funding into the Escrow Account pursuant to Article II of the proceeds, if any, of the exercise of the Rights and the substantially concurrent funding of the aggregate Investment Commitments (as such term is defined under the Equity Commitment Letter) into escrow pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letter, each Investor shall pay an amount equal to its Unsubscribed Shares Commitment into the Escrow Account by any combination of (i) wire transfer of cash in immediately available funds, or (ii) delivering to the Subscription Agent a Qualifying Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such amount. Additionally, if the Subscription Agent delivers an updated Purchase Notice to reflect withdrawals in accordance with Section 2.2(i), no later than the earlier of (i) the fifth (5th) Business Day following the delivery of such updated Purchase Notice and (ii) the First Closing Date, each Investor shall pay into the Escrow Account, an amount equal to its Allotted Portion of the funds and Qualifying Letters of Credit released from the Escrow Account pursuant to Section 2.2(i) relating to such withdrawals, by any combination of (i) wire transfer of cash in immediately available funds or (ii) delivering to the Subscription Agent a Qualifying Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such amount.

(b) The Escrow Agreement shall provide that (i) the Subscription Agent shall draw the full amount of each Qualifying Letter of Credit at the First Closing, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement only upon written instruction signed by the Company, and (ii) the funds held in

 

10


the Escrow Account (including all amounts (A) funded pursuant to the Rights Offering, and (B) drawn in accordance with the Escrow Agreement under the Qualifying Letters of Credit) shall be released to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement only upon written instruction signed by the Company and only if all Qualifying Letters of Credit held by the Subscription Agent have been fully funded in accordance with their terms. The Company shall provide such written instruction upon the satisfaction of each of the conditions set forth in Section 9.1 and Section 9.2.

(c) The proceeds of each Investor’s Backstop Commitment shall be used by the Purchasers, together with the proceeds of the Debt Financing (including any Alternative Debt Financing that has been obtained in accordance with, and satisfies the conditions of, Section 6.17 of the Merger Agreement), the proceeds of the Rights Offering, the contributions pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letter and cash on hand of EFH and its Subsidiaries (other than the Oncor Entities), solely for the purpose of funding the Repayment of Claims and the payment of fees and expenses for which the Company or the Surviving Company is responsible pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the aggregate Backstop Commitments may be reduced in accordance with Section 2.1 of the Company Disclosure Letter, and the Backstop Commitment and, if applicable, the corresponding Unsubscribed Shares Commitment of each Investor shall be reduced accordingly on a pro rata basis.

(d) If the amount of the Unsubscribed Shares Commitment of each Investor is reduced in accordance with Section 2.1 or Section 3.2(c) after the Backstop Funding Date, then the Company shall promptly deliver to each Investor, EFH, EFIH and the Subscription Agent a written notice of such reduction (a “Reduction Notice”), if applicable, attaching a revised Schedule 1 to reflect the reduction of the Unsubscribed Shares Commitment of each Investor and (i) each applicable Investor shall cause any Qualifying Letter of Credit issued on its behalf, and that does not, by its terms, provide for the automatic reduction of the amount of such Qualifying Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.1 or Section 3.2(c) hereof, to be promptly replaced (and in any event, within two (2) Business Days of receipt of the Reduction Notice) with a new Qualifying Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Investor’s reduced Unsubscribed Shares Commitment in Schedule 1 (taking into account any cash which will remain in the Escrow Account in respect of such reduced Unsubscribed Shares Commitment and the reduction in such amount in accordance with Section 2.2(i)), and (ii) the Company shall promptly give written notice to the Subscription Agent to release to each applicable Investor from the Escrow Account each Qualifying Letter of Credit that has been so replaced or, to the extent any Investor has funded its Unsubscribed Shares Commitment with cash, an appropriate amount of cash to reflect the reduction of such Investor’s Unsubscribed Shares Commitment set forth in the Reduction Notice (after taking into account the amount of any Qualifying Letter of Credit that will remain in the Escrow Account in respect of such reduced Unsubscribed Shares Commitment).

(e) Each Investor may effect the funding of its Unsubscribed Shares Commitment directly or indirectly through one or more direct or indirect Subsidiaries of such Investor or any investment fund or funds advised or managed by an Affiliate of such Investor or any other investor or investors that is a limited partner of any such investment fund in accordance with Section 3.5(a). An Investor shall not be under any obligation under any circumstances to contribute more than its Backstop Commitment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(f) If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the Company shall provide a written termination notice to the Subscription Agent, as promptly as practicable following such termination. The Escrow Agreement shall provide that, upon the Subscription Agent’s receipt of such termination notice, the Subscription Agent shall promptly return all letters of credit and all funds held in the Escrow Account by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the applicable Rights Holders and Investors.

 

11


(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company and any Investors that are registered investment companies pursuant to the Investment Company Act may mutually agree to the issuance by the Company to such Investor of equity interests or promissory notes or any appropriate arrangements agreed to by the Company and such Investors that enable such Investors to fulfil their obligations under the Backstop Agreement and comply with the applicable restrictions and limitations imposed on them under the Investment Company Act.

(h) All cash contributions or cash payments in respect of the Unsubscribed Shares Commitment hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the United States, in immediately available funds and paid strictly in accordance with the timing and the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Merger Agreement.

Section 3.3 Alternative Financing.

(a) If and to the extent that one or more Investors fails to fund all or any portion of its Unsubscribed Shares Commitment (such amount, the “Default Amount”) as and when required under this Agreement (each such Investor, a “Defaulting Investor” and each such default, an “Investor Default”), then each Investor that is not a Defaulting Investor (the “Non-Defaulting Investors”), shall have the right, but not the obligation, within twenty (20) Business Days (the “Cure Period”) following receipt of the first written notice from the Company, EFH or EFIH of an Investor Default, to fund any portion of the Default Amount, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. If the Non-Defaulting Investors desire to assume all or any portion of any Default Amount that, in the aggregate, exceeds the Default Amount (each such party, an “Overfunding Party”), then such Default Amount shall be allocated among the Overfunding Parties as determined by agreement among the Overfunding Parties, or in the absence of agreement, among the Overfunding Parties based on their respective Pro Rata Shares (as defined below). As used in this Agreement, “Pro Rata Share” means, with respect to an Investor, the ratio of the Backstop Commitment of such Investor to the Backstop Commitments of all of the Investors; provided, that whenever such term is used in a provision that refers to an Investor as a member of a group that represents a subset of all Investors (such as the Non-Defaulting Investors or the Overfunding Parties), such ratio shall be calculated on the basis of the aggregate Backstop Commitments of all of the Investors who are members of such group (rather than all of the Investors). If all or any portion of the Default Amount is not assumed and funded by the Non-Defaulting Investors during the Cure Period, the Company has the right, within 30 Business Days following expiration of the Cure Period, to assign to one or more Transferee Investors the remaining portion of the Unsubscribed Shares Commitment of the Defaulting Investor without the consent of EFH or EFIH; provided, that any such Transferee Investor assumes and funds the applicable amount within such 30 Business Day period. The arrangements pursuant to which any Default Amount is cured pursuant to this Section 3.3(a) is referred to as an “Alternative Financing”. Following any assumption of a Default Amount in accordance with this Agreement, the Company and the Investors shall revise and update Schedule 1 hereto to reflect any changes in the identity of the Investors and their Unsubscribed Shares Commitments.

(b) Any Defaulting Investor shall immediately and without any further action of any party, forfeit any right to its Backstop Premium pursuant to Section 4.1 (a “Forfeited Fee”). Any such Forfeited Fee shall be allocated instead to the Non-Defaulting Investors and Transferee Investors that assume the obligation to fund the Default Amount in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.3.

(c) If an Investor Default occurs, EFH, EFIH and the Company agree that the First Closing Date shall be delayed only to the extent necessary to allow for an Alternative Financing to be completed within the time frame established in Section 3.3(a); provided, that in no event shall the First Closing Date be delayed more than fifty (50) Business Days without the prior written consent of EFH, EFIH and the Company.

 

12


(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Section 3.3 shall relieve any Defaulting Investor of any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 3.4 Issuance and Delivery of Unsubscribed Shares.

(a) Issuance of the Unsubscribed Shares will be made by the Company to the account of each applicable Investor (in accordance with its Allotted Portion) on the First Closing Date, contemporaneously upon the release of funds deposited by such Investor and held in the Escrow Account pursuant to Section 3.2(b) to the Company on the First Closing Date equal to the aggregate Purchase Price for such Investor’s Allotted Portion of the Unsubscribed Shares, and such Unsubscribed Shares shall be delivered on the First Closing Date or as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter.

(b) All Unsubscribed Shares will be issued with all issue, stamp, transfer, sales and use, or similar Taxes or duties that are due and payable (if any, including pursuant to Section 1146 of the Bankruptcy Code) in connection with such delivery duly paid by the Surviving Company out of the proceeds of the Equity Financing.

(c) Unless an Investor requests in writing delivery of a physical Share certificate, the entry of any Shares to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement into the account of an Investor pursuant to the Company’s book entry procedures shall be deemed delivery of such Shares for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 3.5 Transfer, Designation and Assignment Rights.

(a) Any Investor may, from time to time during the period from the date hereof until the First Closing, (a) freely Transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations in connection with its Backstop Commitment to (i) one or more of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries, Affiliates or investment funds, funds or accounts that are advised, managed or controlled by such Investor or its Affiliates (other than a portfolio company) (an “Affiliated Transferee”) or (ii) to another Investor or one or more of its Affiliates or (b) with the prior written consent of EFH and EFIH, on the one hand, and the Company (together with EFH and EFIH, the “Backstop Commitment Beneficiaries”), on the other hand, which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, transfer all or any portion of its Backstop Commitment to one or more other entities (each such Affiliated Transferee, Investor or other entity, a “Transferee Investor”); provided, that, in the case of any Transfer of a Backstop Commitment pursuant to this Section 3.5 (each, a “Transferred Backstop Commitment”), it shall be a condition to any such Transfer that the applicable Transferee Investor (i) shall execute (A) a Commitment Joinder Agreement confirming its agreement to assume and be bound by the obligations of the applicable transferring Investor in respect of the Transferred Backstop Commitment and any other obligations of the Investors hereunder relating thereto, and (B) a joinder to the Guarantee attached hereto as Exhibit B, confirming its agreement to assume and be bound by the rights and obligations of the applicable transferring Investor under the Guarantee that are attributable to the Transferred Backstop Commitment, and (ii) if such Transfer occurs after the Backstop Funding Date and the transferring Investor has paid its Backstop Commitment by way of a Qualifying Letter of Credit, shall deliver to the Subscription Agent either cash or a Qualifying Letter of Credit in the amount of the Transferred Backstop Commitment, and (iii) is a holder of, or has committed to hold by no later than two (2) Business Days after the date that the Bankruptcy Court has entered the Confirmation Order (the “Certification Date”), at least $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Rights Offering Allowed Claims, unless otherwise waived by the Company; provided, further, that, in each case, except as otherwise explicitly provided in this Section 3.5(a) (x) no such Transfer will eliminate or modify in any manner the transferring Investor’s obligations hereunder, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Backstop Commitment Beneficiaries (in each case, in each such party’s sole discretion) and (y) if the transferring Investor has paid its Backstop Commitment by way of a cash deposit in the Escrow Account, such cash deposit shall either remain in the Escrow

Account for the account of the Transferee Investor or be concurrently replaced by the Transferee Investor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the Backstop Funding Date, the consent of neither the Company nor EFH and EFIH shall be required for an Investor to Transfer all or any portion of a Transferred Backstop Commitment if the transferring Investor has fully funded such transferring Investor’s Backstop Commitment in accordance with Section 3.2(a) of this Agreement (and such amount shall either remain in the Escrow Account for the account of the Transferee Investor or be concurrently replaced by the Transferee Investor) and provides prior written notice of such Transfer to each other Investor and otherwise complies with the requirements of this Section 3.5(a) applicable to such Transfers. If a transferring Investor is permitted to Transfer all or any portion of its Backstop Commitment without the prior written consent of the Company, EFH or EFIH in accordance with this Section 3.5(a), then upon duly completing such Transfer in accordance with this Section 3.5(a), the transferring Investor shall have no further obligations hereunder with respect to the Transferred Backstop Commitment. Following any Transfer of a Transferred Backstop Commitment in accordance with this Agreement, the Company and the Investors shall revise and update Schedule 1 hereto to reflect any changes in the identity of the Investors and their Backstop Commitments.

(b) Each Investor, severally and not jointly, agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, assign, at any time prior to the First Closing Date or earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, its rights and obligations under this Agreement or to Unsubscribed Shares or any interest or participation therein to any Person other than in accordance with this Section 3.5.

(c) Upon a valid Transfer of a Transferred Backstop Commitment in accordance with this Section 3.5, each transferring Investor shall cause any Qualifying Letter of Credit issued on its behalf to be promptly replaced with a new Qualifying Letter of Credit in the amount of such Investor’s reduced Unsubscribed Shares Commitment; provided, that if the Transferred Backstop Commitment is equal to the transferring Investor’s entire Backstop Commitment, the Company shall promptly send written notice to the Subscription Agent authorizing the return of the Qualifying Letter of Credit issued on behalf of the transferring Investor.

The Investor is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. The Investor understands and is able to bear any economic risks associated with such investment (including, without limitation, the necessity of holding the Investor Shares for an indefinite period of time), and such Investor can afford to suffer the complete loss of the Investor Shares and its investment in the Company. The Investor has sought independent legal, investment and tax advice in connection with its decision to acquire the Investor Shares to be purchased by it to the extent that such Investor has deemed such advice to be necessary or appropriate.

(j) Independent Investment Decision. Such Investor is making its own investment decision, which is not being made in conjunction with the investment decision of any other person to acquire a predetermined percentage of the shares of the Company or EFH.

Section 11.2 Assignment; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not assignable (a) by either EFH or EFIH, without the prior written consent of the Company (and any purported assignment without such consent shall be null and void ab initio), (b) by any of the Investors, except in accordance with the terms and conditions contained herein (and any other purported assignment shall be null and void ab initio) or (c) by the Company without the prior written consent of EFH and EFIH (and any purported assignment without such consent shall be null and void ab initio). This Agreement is intended to be solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and is not intended to confer any benefits upon, or create any rights in favor of, any Person other than the parties hereto and their successors (including the corporation that will be the successor to Parent as provided in the Merger Agreement); except that as a material aspect of this Agreement the parties intend that all Related Parties shall be, and such Related Parties are, intended third party beneficiaries of this Agreement who may rely on and enforce the provisions of this Agreement that bar the liability, or otherwise protect the interests, of such Related Parties.

Section 11.3 Prior Negotiations; Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the agreements attached as Exhibits, Annexes or Schedules to and the documents and instruments referred to in this Agreement) and the other Transaction Agreements constitute the entire agreement of the Parties and supersede all prior agreements, arrangements or understandings, whether written or oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, except that the Parties hereto acknowledge that any confidentiality agreements heretofore executed among the Parties will continue in full force and effect.

Section 11.4 GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL .

(a) THIS AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE, REMEDY OR LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS OR ANY RELIEF OR REMEDIES SOUGHT BY ANY PARTY HERETO, AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER, SHALL BE CONSTRUED, PERFORMED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS PRINCIPLES OR RULES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS TO THE EXTENT SUCH PRINCIPLES OR RULES WOULD REQUIRE OR PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. Each of the parties hereto (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court (or, if the Bankruptcy Court declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, then the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware, and if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware declines jurisdiction, then any state or federal court sitting in Delaware) in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, (ii) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court and (iii) agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement (whether on the basis of a claim sounding in contract, equity, tort or otherwise) in any other court.

26


action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions in any Delaware or federal court in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.4(a). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. Each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 11.1. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

(b) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS HEREUNDER. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (W) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (X) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (Y) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (Z) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.4.

Section 11.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which will be considered one and the same agreement and will become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to each other Party (including via facsimile or other electronic transmission), it being understood that each Party need not sign the same counterpart.

Section 11.6 Modification, Waiver or Amendments. Except as expressly provided herein, subject to the provisions of applicable Laws (including, if applicable, the approval of the Bankruptcy Court), at any time prior to the Effective Time, this Agreement (including Section 2.1 of the Company Disclosure Letter) may not be modified, waived or amended except by written agreement executed and delivered by duly authorized officers of the Company, EFH and EFIH; provided that, except as expressly provided herein, any amendment, waiver or modification to (i) the manner, timing or terms or conditions applicable to the funding of or release from escrow of the Backstop Commitment contemplated by any Investor (including Section 3.2(a), Section 3.2(b), and Section 9.1, but excluding any reduction to the aggregate amount of the Rights Offering, as contemplated by Section 2.1 of the Company Disclosure Letter), (ii) the requirement that the per Share purchase price be the same under this Agreement and the Equity Commitment Letter, (iii) the definition of “Pro Rata Share” or (iv) this Section 11.6 may not be made without each affected Investor executing a written instrument expressly authorizing such amendment or waiver prior thereto.

Section 11.7 Remedies. The sole obligations of the Investors in connection with this Agreement shall be their obligations expressly provided for in this Agreement in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions hereof. Accordingly, EFH and EFIH agree that (i) EFH and EFIH do not have the right to enforce the Backstop Commitment and (ii) EFH and EFIH shall in no event seek to recover any amount from any Investor under this Agreement.

 

27


Section 11.8 Enforceability.

(a) This Agreement may only be enforced by the Company. No creditor of, or holder of a claim against or interest in, any of the Company, EFH or EFIH shall have any right to enforce this Agreement or to cause any of the Company, EFH or EFIH to enforce this Agreement, other than pursuant to any agreement among the Investors and the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, EFH and EFIH shall not be entitled to the benefit of the Backstop Commitments or to take any action or commence any Proceeding to enforce the same. Each Investor acknowledges and agrees, as to itself only, that, if on or prior to the Backstop Funding Date, the conditions to fund into the Escrow Account set forth in Section 3.2(a) have been satisfied and this Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with its terms, then the Company may seek specific performance of each Investor’s obligation to fund its Unsubscribed Shares Commitment in accordance with Section 3.2(a) (the “Specific Performance Right”). Each of the Investors agrees, severally as to itself and not jointly, not to oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief hereunder in the circumstances under which the Specific Performance Right is applicable, on the basis that the Company has an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. EFH and EFIH agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, none of EFH or EFIH or their Affiliates shall be entitled to seek or obtain specific performance of any Investor’s obligations under this Agreement.

(b) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed by EFH or EFIH in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached by EFH or EFIH (including any provision requiring the payment of Transaction Expenses) and the Investors and the Company would not have an adequate remedy at law in the form of money damages. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge and agree that each Investor and the Company shall be entitled, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms or with respect to any provision of this Agreement that survives such termination, to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement and to obtain an injunction, injunctions or any form of equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement against EFH and EFIH. EFH and EFIH hereby agree that, to the extent they or any of their Affiliates incur losses arising from or in connection with a breach by any Investor of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this letter agreement, in no event shall EFH or EFIH or their Affiliates seek to recover any money damages from (or seek any other remedy, including specific performance, based on any legal, contractual or equitable theory against) such Investor or any of its Related Parties.

Section 11.9 No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement each of the Company, EFH and EFIH, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement, hereby covenants, acknowledges and agrees that no Person other than the Parties and their permitted assignees shall have any obligation under this Agreement. The Company, EFH and EFIH further agree that, notwithstanding that the Investors (or any of their permitted assignees) may be a partnership or limited liability company, no recourse or right of recovery (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) under this Agreement shall be had against any Related Party (as defined below) of the Investors (or any of their permitted assignees) based upon the relationship of such Related Party to any Investor, or whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate (or limited liability company or limited liability partnership) veil, or by invoking any alter ego theory, by or through any claim against or on behalf of the Purchasers, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by or through any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any applicable Law, or otherwise, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any such Related Party, as such, for any obligations of the Investor under this Agreement or

 

28


for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligation or their creation.

Any Claims arising from the rejection of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease not Filed within such time will be automatically disallowed, forever barred from assertion, and shall not be enforceable against the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, the Estates, or their property without the need for any objection by the Reorganized Debtors or further notice to, or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court or any other Entity, and any Claim arising out of the rejection of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be deemed fully satisfied, released, and discharged, notwithstanding anything in the Schedules or a Proof of Claim to the contrary. All Allowed Claims arising from the rejection of the Debtors’ Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases shall be classified as General Unsecured Claims against the applicable Debtor, and shall be treated in accordance with the Plan.

 

C. Cure of Defaults for Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.

Any monetary defaults under each Assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the default amount in Cash on the Effective Date, subject to the limitation described below, or on such other terms as the parties to such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases may otherwise agree. In the event of a dispute regarding (1) the amount of any payments to cure such a default, (2) the ability of the Reorganized Debtors or any assignee to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to be assumed, or (3) any other matter pertaining to assumption, the cure payments required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be made following the entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute and approving the assumption. At least 14 days before the Confirmation Hearing, the Debtors will provide for notices of proposed assumption and proposed cure amounts to be sent to applicable third parties and for procedures for objecting thereto and resolution of disputes by the Bankruptcy Court. Any objection by a counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to a proposed assumption or related cure amount must be Filed, served, and actually received by the Debtors at least seven (7) days before the Confirmation Hearing. Any counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that fails to object timely to the proposed assumption or cure amount will be deemed to have consented to such assumption or proposed cure amount.

 

69


Assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall result in the full release and satisfaction of any Claims or defaults, whether monetary or nonmonetary, including defaults of provisions restricting the change in control or ownership interest composition or other bankruptcy-related defaults, arising under any Assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease at any time before the effective date of assumption. Any Proofs of Claim Filed with respect to an Assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be deemed disallowed and expunged, without further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

D. Preexisting Obligations to the Debtors under Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.

Rejection of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall not constitute a termination of preexisting obligations owed by the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease counterparty or counterparties to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, under such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases.

 

E. Indemnification Obligations.

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, each Indemnification Obligation shall be assumed by the applicable Debtor, effective as of the Effective Date, pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. Each Indemnification Obligation shall remain in full force and effect, shall not be modified, reduced, discharged, impaired, or otherwise affected in any way, and shall survive Unimpaired and unaffected, irrespective of when such obligation arose.

The TCEH Debtors and Reorganized TCEH shall assume the Indemnification Obligations for the current and former directors, officers, managers, employees, and other professionals of the TCEH Debtors, in their capacities as such, and the EFH Debtors and Reorganized EFH shall assume the Indemnification Obligations for the current and former directors, officers, managers, employees, and other professionals of the EFH Debtors or EFIH Debtors, in their capacities as such; provided that the TCEH Debtors and Reorganized TCEH shall not assume, and shall not have any liability for or any obligations in respect of, any Indemnification Obligations for the current and former directors, officers, managers, employees, and other professionals of the EFH Debtors or EFIH Debtors, in their capacities as such, and the EFH Debtors, Reorganized EFH, EFIH Debtors, and Reorganized EFIH shall not assume, and shall not have any liability for or any obligations in respect of, any Indemnification Obligations for the current and former directors, officers, managers, employees, and other professionals of the TCEH Debtors, in their capacities as such.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing shall impair the ability of Reorganized EFH, Reorganized EFIH or Reorganized TCEH, as applicable, to modify indemnification obligations (whether in the bylaws, certificates or incorporate or formation, limited liability company agreements, other organizational or formation documents, board resolutions, indemnification agreements, employment contracts, or otherwise) arising after the Effective Date.

 

F. Insurance Policies.

Each of the Debtors’ insurance policies and any agreements, documents, or instruments relating thereto, are treated as Executory Contracts under the Plan. Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, on the Effective Date, the Debtors shall be deemed to have assumed all insurance policies and any agreements, documents, and instruments relating to coverage of all insured Claims.

 

G. Modifications, Amendments, Supplements, Restatements, or Other Agreements.

Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, each Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that is assumed shall include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements that in any manner affect such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, and all Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases related thereto, if any, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, and any other interests, unless any of the foregoing agreements have been previously rejected or repudiated or is rejected or repudiated under the Plan.

 

70


Modifications, amendments, supplements, and restatements to prepetition Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that have been executed by the Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases shall not be deemed to alter the prepetition nature of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, or the validity, priority, or amount of any Claims that may arise in connection therewith.

 

H. Reservation of Rights.

Neither the exclusion nor inclusion of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease on the Rejected Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease List or the Assumed Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease List, nor anything contained in the Plan, shall constitute an admission by the Debtors that any such contract or lease is in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that any of the Reorganized Debtors has any liability thereunder. If there is a dispute regarding whether a contract or lease is or was executory or unexpired at the time of assumption or rejection, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have 30 days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter its treatment of such contract or lease.

 

I. Nonoccurrence of Effective Date.

In the event that the Effective Date does not occur with respect to a Debtor, the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction with respect to any request to extend the deadline for assuming or rejecting Unexpired Leases with respect to such Debtor pursuant to section 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, unless such deadline(s) have expired.

 

J. Contracts and Leases Entered Into After the Petition Date.

Contracts and leases entered into after the Petition Date by any Debtor, including any Assumed Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases, will be performed by the applicable Debtor or the applicable Reorganized Debtor liable thereunder in the ordinary course of their business. Accordingly, any such contracts and leases (including any Assumed Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases) that have not been rejected as of the date of the Confirmation Date shall survive and remain unaffected by entry of the Confirmation Order.

ARTICLE VI.

PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS

 

A. Timing and Calculation of Amounts to Be Distributed.

Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, on the Effective Date (or if a Claim or Interest is not an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest on the Effective Date, on the date that such Claim or Interest becomes an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter), each Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest shall receive the full amount of the distributions that the Plan provides for Allowed Claims and Allowed Interest in the applicable Class. In the event that any payment or act under the Plan is required to be made or performed on a date that is not a Business Day, then the making of such payment or the performance of such act may be completed on the next succeeding Business Day, but shall be deemed to have been completed as of the required date. If and to the extent that there are Disputed Claims or Disputed Interests, distributions on account of any such Disputed Claims or Disputed Interests shall be made pursuant to the provisions set forth in Article VII of the Plan. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, Holders of Claims and Interests shall not be entitled to interest, dividends, or accruals on the distributions provided for in the Plan, regardless of whether such distributions are delivered on or at any time after the Effective Date.

With respect to Holders of Class C5 Claims that are Allowed as of the Effective Date, the amount of the Effective Date distribution will be calculated as if each Disputed Class C5 Claim were an Allowed Class C5 Claim equal to the lesser of (a) the asserted amount of such Claim and (b) the amount estimated by the Bankruptcy Court in accordance with Article VII.C of the Plan. On each Periodic Distribution Date, the Disbursing Agent shall make additional Pro Rata distributions to Holders of Allowed Class C5 Claims until such Claims have received the maximum recovery available to Holders of Class C5 Claims under the Plan.

 

71


Before the Effective Date, the TCEH Debtors shall create, in consultation with the TCEH Committee, a list of Disputed Class C5 Claims that shall be Allowed Class C5 Claims as of the Effective Date. Following the creation of such list, the TCEH Debtors shall, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter submit, to the Bankruptcy Court an order, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the TCEH Committee, allowing such Claims; provided, however, that entry of such order shall not in any way impede, delay, or otherwise interfere with the occurrence of the Effective Date.

 

B. Disbursing Agent.

All distributions under the Plan shall be made to Holders of Allowed Claims by the Disbursing Agent on the Effective Date, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, in accordance with the Plan. The Disbursing Agent shall not be required to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance of its duties unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court.

 

C. Rights and Powers of Disbursing Agent.

 

  1. Powers of the Disbursing Agent.

The Disbursing Agent shall be empowered to: (a) effect all actions and execute all agreements, instruments, and other documents necessary to perform its duties under the Plan; (b) make all distributions contemplated hereby; (c) employ professionals to represent it with respect to its responsibilities; and (d) exercise such other powers as may be vested in the Disbursing Agent by order of the Bankruptcy Court, pursuant to the Plan, or as deemed by the Disbursing Agent to be necessary and proper to implement the provisions of the Plan.

 

  2. Expenses Incurred On or After the Effective Date.

Except as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, the amount of any reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Disbursing Agent on or after the Effective Date (including taxes) and any reasonable compensation and expense reimbursement claims (including reasonable attorney fees and expenses) made by the Disbursing Agent shall be paid in Cash by the Reorganized Debtors. Reorganized TCEH shall only be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Disbursing Agent for distributions related to Claims against the TCEH Debtors, and Reorganized EFH and Reorganized EFIH shall only be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Disbursing Agent for distributions related to Claims against the EFH Debtors and EFIH Debtors.

 

D. Delivery of Distributions and Undeliverable or Unclaimed Distributions.

 

  1. Record Date for Distribution.

On the Distribution Record Date, the Claims Register shall be closed and any party responsible for making distributions shall instead be authorized and entitled to recognize only those record Holders listed on the Claims Register as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date.

 

  2. Delivery of Distributions in General.

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Reorganized Debtors shall make distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests as of the Distribution Record Date at the address for each such Holder as indicated on the Debtors’ records as of the date of any such distribution; provided, however, that the Distribution Record Date shall not apply to publicly-traded Securities. The manner of such distributions shall be determined at the discretion of the Reorganized Debtors, and the address for each Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest shall be deemed to be the address set forth in any Proof of Claim or Interest Filed by that Holder.

 

  3. Delivery of Distributions on DIP Claims.

All distributions on account of DIP Claims shall be made to the applicable DIP Agent, who shall be deemed to be the Holder of such DIP Claims, as applicable, for purposes of distributions to be made hereunder. As

 

72


soon as practicable following compliance with the requirements set forth in this Article VI, the applicable DIP Agent shall arrange to deliver or direct the delivery of such distributions to or on behalf of the Holders of DIP Claims in accordance with the terms of the DIP Facilities, as applicable, subject to any modifications to such distributions in accordance with the terms of the Plan; provided, however, that the DIP Agents shall retain all rights as administrative agents under the DIP Facilities in connection with the delivery of distributions to DIP Lenders. The DIP Agents shall not have any liability to any person with respect to distributions made or directed to be made by the DIP Agents.

 

  4. No Fractional Distributions.

No fractional shares of Reorganized TCEH Common Stock, Reorganized EFH Common Stock, or New EFH Common Stock shall be distributed and no Cash shall be distributed in lieu of such fractional amounts. When any distribution pursuant to the Plan on account of an applicable Allowed Claim would otherwise result in the issuance of a number of shares of Reorganized TCEH Common Stock, Reorganized EFH Common Stock, or New EFH Common Stock that is not a whole number, the actual distribution of shares of Reorganized TCEH Common Stock, Reorganized EFH Common Stock, or New EFH Common Stock shall be rounded as follows: (a) fractions of one-half ( 12) or greater shall be rounded to the next higher whole number and (b) fractions of less than one-half ( 12) shall be rounded to the next lower whole number with no further payment therefor. The total number of authorized shares of Reorganized TCEH Common Stock, Reorganized EFH Common Stock, or New EFH Common Stock to be distributed to Holders of Allowed Claims shall be adjusted as necessary to account for the foregoing rounding.

 

  5. Minimum Distribution.

No Cash payment of less than $50.00 shall be made to a Holder of an Allowed Claim on account of such Allowed Claim.

 

  6. Undeliverable Distributions and Unclaimed Property.

In the event that any distribution to any Holder is returned as undeliverable, no distribution to such Holder shall be made unless and until the Disbursing Agent has determined the then-current address of such Holder, at which time such distribution shall be made to such Holder without interest; provided, however, that such distributions shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code at the expiration of one year from the applicable Distribution Date. After such date, all unclaimed property or interests in property shall revert to the applicable Reorganized Debtor(s) automatically and without need for a further order by the Bankruptcy Court (notwithstanding any applicable federal or state escheat, abandoned, or unclaimed property laws to the contrary), and the claim of any Holder to such property shall be fully discharged, released, and forever barred.

 

E. Manner of Payment.

Unless as otherwise set forth herein, all distributions of Cash, the Reorganized TCEH Common Stock, the Reorganized EFH Common Stock, and the New EFH Common Stock, to the Holders of Allowed Claims under the Plan shall be made by the Disbursing Agent on behalf of the Reorganized Debtors. At the option of the Disbursing Agent, any Cash payment to be made under the Plan may be made by check or wire transfer or as otherwise required or provided in applicable agreements. All Cash distributions to be made hereunder to the DIP Agents on account of the DIP Claims shall be made by wire transfer.

 

F. SEC Registration/Exemption.

Each of the Reorganized TCEH Common Stock, New Reorganized TCEH Debt, Reorganized TCEH Sub Preferred Stock, New Reorganized EFIH Debt, Reorganized EFH Common Stock, New EFH Merger Common Stock, Reorganized EFIH Membership Interests, Rights, and New EFH Common Stock are or may be “securities,” as defined in Section 2(a)(1) of the Securities Act, section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, and applicable state securities laws.

 

73


The New EFH Merger Common Stock issued in exchange for Reorganized EFH Common Stock without registration under the Securities Act may be made in reliance upon the exemption set forth in section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code for the offer or sale under a chapter 11 plan of a security of a successor to the debtor if such securities are offered or sold in exchange for a claim against, or an interest in, such debtor. The Debtors will seek to obtain a ruling from the Bankruptcy Court in the Confirmation Order that the section 1145(a)(1) exemption applies to the New EFH Merger Common Stock. In the event the Debtors are unable to obtain a ruling from the Bankruptcy Court that the issuance of the New EFH Merger Common Stock qualifies for the statutory exemption from securities law provided under section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors will either rely on another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or will be required to register the New EFH Merger Common Stock under the Securities Act.

Pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, the issuance of (1) the Reorganized TCEH Common Stock, (2) the Reorganized EFH Common Stock, (3) the New EFH Merger Common Stock, and (4) the Reorganized EFIH Membership Interests issued to Holders of Allowed Interests in EFIH are exempt from, among other things, the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act and any other applicable U.S. state or local law requiring registration before the offering, issuance, distribution, or sale of such securities. Each of the Reorganized TCEH Common Stock, the Reorganized EFH Common Stock, the New EFH Merger Common Stock, and the Reorganized EFIH Membership Interests issued to Holders of Allowed Interests in EFIH, (a) is not a “restricted security” as defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, and (b) is freely tradable and transferable by any initial recipient thereof that (i) at the time of transfer, is not an “affiliate” of the Reorganized TCEH, Reorganized EFH, Reorganized EFIH, or New EFH, as the case may be, as defined in Rule 144(a)(1) under the Securities Act and has not been such an “affiliate” within 90 days of such transfer, and (ii) is not an entity that is an “underwriter” as defined in subsection (b) of section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code.

The offering and issuance of the Rights and the New EFH Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Rights, each pursuant to the Rights Offering (other than any Rights and New EFH Common Stock offered and/or issued under a Private Rights Offering, as applicable), will be registered with the SEC pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act. As such, the shares of New EFH Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Rights (a) will not be “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, and (b) will be freely tradable and transferable by any initial recipient thereof that at the time of sale is not, and has not been within the prior 90 days, an “affiliate” of New EFH, as defined in Rule 144(a)(1) under the Securities Act.

The New Reorganized TCEH Debt, the Reorganized TCEH Sub Preferred Stock, the New Reorganized EFIH Debt, the Reorganized EFIH Membership Interests issued to OV2 pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letter, the New EFH Common Stock issued pursuant to the Backstop Agreement and the Equity Commitment Letter, and Rights offered and issued pursuant to the Private Rights Offering (and New EFH Common Stock issued upon the exercise of such Rights) will be issued without registration under the Securities Act in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act (and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder) and each will be “restricted securities” subject to resale restrictions and may be resold, exchanged, assigned or otherwise transferred only pursuant to registration, or an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act and other applicable law.

Should the Reorganized Debtors elect on or after the Effective Date to reflect any ownership of any of the Reorganized TCEH Common Stock, New Reorganized TCEH Debt, Reorganized TCEH Sub Preferred Stock, New Reorganized EFIH Debt, Reorganized EFH Common Stock, New EFH Merger Common Stock, Reorganized EFIH Membership Interests, and New EFH Common Stock through the facilities of the DTC, the Reorganized Debtors need not provide any further evidence other than the Plan or the Confirmation Order with respect to the treatment of the Reorganized TCEH Common Stock, New Reorganized TCEH Debt, Reorganized TCEH Sub Preferred Stock, New Reorganized EFIH Debt, Reorganized EFH Common Stock, New EFH Merger Common Stock, Reorganized EFIH Membership Interests, and New EFH Common Stock under applicable securities laws.

The DTC shall be required to accept and conclusively rely upon the Plan and Confirmation Order in lieu of a legal opinion regarding whether any of the Reorganized TCEH Common Stock, New Reorganized TCEH Debt, Reorganized TCEH Sub Preferred Stock, New Reorganized EFIH Debt, Reorganized EFH Common Stock, New EFH Merger Common Stock, Reorganized EFIH Membership Interests, and New EFH Common Stock, as applicable, are exempt from registration and/or eligible for DTC book-entry delivery, settlement, and depository services.

 

74


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, no entity (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the DTC) may require a legal opinion regarding the validity of any transaction contemplated by the Plan, including, for the avoidance of doubt, whether the Reorganized TCEH Common Stock, New Reorganized TCEH Debt, Reorganized TCEH Sub Preferred Stock, New Reorganized EFIH Debt, Reorganized EFH Common Stock, New EFH Merger Common Stock, Reorganized EFIH Membership Interests, and New EFH Common Stock are exempt from registration and/or eligible for DTC book-entry delivery, settlement, and depository services.

 

G. Compliance with Tax Requirements.

In connection with the Plan, the applicable Reorganized Debtor(s) shall comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on them by any Governmental Unit with respect to distributions pursuant to the Plan. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Reorganized Debtors and the Disbursing Agent, as applicable, shall be authorized to take all actions necessary to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements, including liquidating a portion of the distribution to be made under the Plan to generate sufficient funds to pay applicable withholding taxes, withholding distributions pending receipt of information necessary to facilitate such distributions, and establishing any other mechanisms they believe are reasonable and appropriate to comply with such requirements. The Reorganized Debtors reserve the right to allocate all distributions made under the Plan in compliance with all applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child support, and other spousal awards, liens, and encumbrances.

 

H. No Postpetition or Default Interest on Claims.

Unless otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, and notwithstanding any documents that govern the Debtors’ prepetition funded indebtedness to the contrary, (1) postpetition and/or default interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Claims and (2) no Holder of a Claim shall be entitled to: (a) interest accruing on or after the Petition Date on any such Claim; or (b) interest at the contract default rate, as applicable.

 

I. Setoffs and Recoupment.

The Debtors and Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may, but shall not be required to, setoff against or recoup any payments or distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan in respect of any Claims of any nature whatsoever that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors may have against the claimant, but neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors of any such claim it may have against the Holder of such Claim.

 

J. No Double Payment of Claims.

To the extent that a Claim is Allowed against more than one Debtor’s Estate, there shall be only a single recovery on account of that Allowed Claim, but the Holder of an Allowed Claim against more than one Debtor may recover distributions from all co-obligor Debtors’ Estates until the Holder has received payment in full on the Allowed Claims. No Holder of an Allowed Claim shall be entitled to receive more than payment in full of its Allowed Claim, and each Claim shall be administered and treated in the manner provided by the Plan only until payment in full on that Allowed Claim.

 

K. Claims Paid or Payable by Third Parties.

 

  1. Claims Paid by Third Parties.

The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall reduce a Claim, and such Claim shall be disallowed without a Claims objection having to be Filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, to the extent that the Holder of such Claim receives payment on account of such Claim from a party that is not a Debtor or a Reorganized Debtor (other than the Disbursing Agent). Subject to the

 

75


last sentence of this paragraph, to the extent a Holder of a Claim receives a distribution on account of such Claim and receives payment from a party that is not a Debtor or a Reorganized Debtor on account of such Claim, such Holder shall, within 14 days of receipt thereof, repay or return the distribution to the applicable Reorganized Debtor, to the extent the Holder’s total recovery on account of such Claim from the third party and under the Plan exceeds the amount of such Claim as of the date of any such distribution under the Plan. The failure of such Holder to timely repay or return such distribution shall result in the Holder owing the applicable Reorganized Debtor annualized interest at the Federal Judgment Rate on such amount owed for each Business Day after the 14-day period specified above until the amount is repaid.

 

  2. Claims Payable by Third Parties.

No distributions under the Plan shall be made on account of an Allowed Claim that is payable pursuant to one of the Debtors’ insurance policies until the Holder of such Allowed Claim has exhausted all remedies with respect to such insurance policy. To the extent that one or more of the Debtors’ insurers agrees to satisfy in full or in part a Claim (if and to the extent adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction), then immediately upon such insurers’ agreement, the applicable portion of such Claim may be expunged without a Claims objection having to be Filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

  3. Applicability of Insurance Policies.

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims shall be in accordance with the provisions of any applicable insurance policy. Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute or be deemed a waiver of any Cause of Action that the Debtors or any Entity may hold against any other Entity, including insurers under any policies of insurance.

ARTICLE VII.

PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING CONTINGENT,

UNLIQUIDATED, AND DISPUTED CLAIMS

 

A. Allowance of Claims.

Except as otherwise set forth in the Plan, after the Effective Date, each of the Reorganized Debtors shall have and retain any and all rights and defenses such Debtor had with respect to any Claim immediately before the Effective Date. This Article VII of the Plan shall not apply to the DIP Claims, TCEH First Lien Claims, TCEH Second Lien Note Claims, or TCEH Unsecured Note Claims, which Claims shall be Allowed in full and shall not be subject to any avoidance, reductions, set off, offset, recharacterization, subordination (whether equitable, contractual, or otherwise), counterclaims, cross-claims, defenses, disallowance, impairment, objection, or any other challenges under any applicable law or regulation by any person or entity.

 

B. Claims Administration Responsibilities.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, after the Effective Date, the applicable Reorganized Debtor(s) shall have the sole authority: (1) to File, withdraw, or litigate to judgment, objections to Claims; (2) to settle or compromise any Disputed Claim without any further notice to or action, order, or approval by the Bankruptcy Court; and (3) to administer and adjust the Claims Register to reflect any such settlements or compromises without any further notice to or action, order, or approval by the Bankruptcy Court.

Except with respect to Claims and Causes of Action released by the Debtors pursuant to the releases and exculpations contained in the Plan, including in Article VIII, if one or more Entities have sought and obtained standing to prosecute a Cause of Action on behalf of one or more of the Debtors’ Estates and such Entities are prosecuting such Causes of Actions as of the Effective Date, then such Entities will have the sole authority, solely with respect to such Causes of Action, to File, withdraw, litigate to judgment, settle, compromise, or take any other actions in respect of such Causes of Action.

 

76


C. Estimation of Claims.

Before or after the Effective Date, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may (but are not required to) at any time request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any Disputed Claim that is contingent or unliquidated pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code for any reason, regardless of whether any party previously has objected to such Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection, and the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to estimate any such Claim, including during the litigation of any objection to any Claim or during the appeal relating to such objection. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Plan, a Claim that has been expunged from the Claims Register, but that either is subject to appeal or has not been the subject of a Final Order, shall be deemed to be estimated at zero dollars, unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent or unliquidated Claim, that estimated amount shall constitute a maximum limitation on such Claim for all purposes under the Plan (including for purposes of distributions), and the relevant Reorganized Debtor may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate distribution on such Claim.

If the TCEH Debtors determine, in their reasonable discretion and in consultation with the TCEH Committee, that (1) one or more Disputed Class C5 Claims are capable of estimation by the Bankruptcy Court, (2) estimation will materially improve Effective Date distributions to Holders of Allowed Class C5 Claims, and (3) estimation is otherwise in the best interests of the Estates, the TCEH Debtors shall file one or more motions to estimate such Disputed Class C5 Claims, which motion or motions shall be filed and noticed to be heard (on regular notice to all parties in interest) by the Bankruptcy Court before the Effective Date (or such other date as determined by the Bankruptcy Court).

 

D. Adjustment to Claims without Objection.

Any Claim that has been paid or satisfied, or any Claim that has been amended or superseded, may be adjusted or expunged on the Claims Register by the Reorganized Debtors without a Claims objection having to be Filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

E. Time to File Objections to Claims or Interests.

Any objections to Claims or Interests shall be Filed on or before the Claims Objection Deadline.

 

F. Disallowance of Claims.

Any Claims held by Entities from which the Bankruptcy Court has determined that property is recoverable under section 542, 543, 550, or 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or that is a transferee of a transfer that the Bankruptcy Court has determined is avoidable under section 522(f), 522(h), 544, 545, 547, 548, 549, or 724(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be deemed disallowed pursuant to section 502(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, and Holders of such Claims may not receive any distributions on account of such Claims until such time as such Causes of Action against that Entity have been settled or a Bankruptcy Court order with respect thereto has been entered and the full amount of such obligation to the Debtors has been paid or turned over in full. All Proofs of Claim Filed on account of an Indemnification Obligation shall be deemed satisfied and expunged from the Claims Register as of the Effective Date to the extent such Indemnification Obligation is assumed (or honored or reaffirmed, as the case may be) pursuant to the Plan, without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. All Proofs of Claim Filed on account of an employee benefit shall be deemed satisfied and expunged from the Claims Register as of the Effective Date to the extent the Reorganized Entities elect to honor such employee benefit, without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

Except as provided herein or otherwise agreed, any and all Proofs of Claim Filed after the Bar Date shall be deemed disallowed and expunged as of the Effective Date without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and Holders of such Claims may not receive any distributions on account of such Claims, unless on or before the Confirmation Hearing such late Claim has been deemed timely Filed by a Final Order.

 

77


G. Amendments to Proofs of Claim.

On or after the Effective Date, a Proof of Claim or Interest may not be Filed or amended without the prior authorization of the Bankruptcy Court or the Reorganized Debtors, and any such new or amended Proof of Claim or Interest Filed shall be deemed disallowed in full and expunged without any further action.

 

H. Reimbursement or Contribution.

If the Bankruptcy Court disallows a Claim for reimbursement or contribution of an Entity pursuant to section 502(e)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code, then to the extent that such Claim is contingent as of the time of allowance or disallowance, such Claim shall be forever disallowed and expunged notwithstanding section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, unless before the Confirmation Date: (1) such Claim has been adjudicated as non-contingent; or (2) the relevant Holder of a Claim has Filed a non-contingent Proof of Claim on account of such Claim and a Final Order has been entered before the Confirmation Date determining such Claim as no longer contingent.

 

I. No Distributions Pending Allowance.

Except as otherwise set forth herein, if an objection to a Claim or portion thereof is Filed as set forth in Article VII.B of the Plan, no payment or distribution provided under the Plan shall be made on account of such Claim or portion thereof unless and until such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.

 

J. Distributions After Allowance.

To the extent that a Disputed Claim ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim, distributions (if any) shall be made to the Holder of such Allowed Claim in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. Except as otherwise set forth in the Plan, as soon as practicable after the date that the order or judgment of the Bankruptcy Court allowing any Disputed Claim becomes a Final Order, the Disbursing Agent shall provide to the Holder of such Claim the distribution (if any) to which such Holder is entitled under the Plan as of the Effective Date, less any previous distribution (if any) that was made on account of the undisputed portion of such Claim, without any interest, dividends, or accruals to be paid on account of such Claim unless required under such order or judgment of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

K. Disputed Postpetition Interest Claims.

Claims for postpetition interest with respect to EFIH Unsecured Note Claims, EFH Legacy Note Claims, EFH LBO Note Claims, and EFH Unexchanged Note Claims shall be Allowed under the Plan at the Federal Judgment Rate. Any such Claims for postpetition interest in excess of the Federal Judgment Rate shall be Disputed. If such dispute is not resolved on or before the Effective Date, such Holders shall receive their treatment under the Plan, including payment of postpetition interest at the Federal Judgment Rate, and Reorganized EFH will establish on the Effective Date the Postpetition Interest Reserve.

The Postpetition Interest Reserve shall be used to pay to Holders of such Claims any additional postpetition interest ordered to be paid by the Bankruptcy Court or as agreed by the Plan Sponsors.

The Postpetition Interest Reserve, after payment in full of Allowed Claims against EFH Corp. and the EFIH Debtors, shall be repaid Pro Rata as a purchase price adjustment to the Rights Offering Participants and the Equity Investors, based on the amount of their new money equity investments with respect to Reorganized EFH and/or Reorganized EFIH. In addition, the Postpetition Interest Reserve shall be held and repaid in a manner that does not result in payment of a preferential dividend or otherwise prevent New EFH and Reorganized EFH from qualifying for taxation as a REIT.

B. Conditions Precedent to the Effective Date.

It shall be a condition to the Effective Date that the following conditions shall have been satisfied or waived pursuant to the provisions of Article IX.C of the Plan:

4. the Private Letter Ruling shall have been obtained, which shall remain in full force and effect and shall be reasonably satisfactory to EFH Corp., TCEH, the Plan Sponsors, and the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors; provided, however, that (x) the failure of the Private Letter Ruling to contain any of the following rulings shall not be grounds for concluding the Private Letter Ruling is not reasonably satisfactory to either EFH Corp., TCEH, the Plan Sponsors, and the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors: (i) the Contribution, the Reorganized TCEH Conversion and the Distribution qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(G) of the Code; (ii) the Distribution constitutes a transaction qualifying under Sections 355 and 356 of the Code; and (iii) the Contribution, the Reorganized TCEH Conversion and the Distribution are not used principally as a device for the distribution of earnings and profits of the Company or Reorganized TCEH and (y) the failure of the Private Letter Ruling to include any one or more of the Required Rulings will be grounds for concluding the Private Letter Ruling is not reasonably satisfactory; provided, further, however, that (A) a particular ruling that, in the reasonable determination of EFH Corp., TCEH, the Plan Sponsors, and the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors, covers substantially the same subject matter as any one or more of the Required Rulings shall not be grounds for concluding the Private Letter Ruling is not reasonably satisfactory to EFH Corp., TCEH, the Plan Sponsors, and

 

83


the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors due to its failure to include such particular Required Ruling; (B) in the event a specific Required Ruling is not given because the IRS communicates that there is no substantial issue with respect to the requested ruling, the absence of such ruling shall not be grounds for concluding the Private Letter Ruling is not reasonably satisfactory to EFH Corp., TCEH, the Plan Sponsors, and the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors provided that EFH Corp. obtains an opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel, in form and substance acceptable to the Plan Sponsors and the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors in their reasonable discretion, at a “will” level with respect to the issue that was the subject of the Required Ruling; or (C) a pre-filing agreement (including an agreement in accordance with Revenue Procedure 2009-14) or closing agreement with the IRS shall be acceptable in lieu of any such specific Required Ruling, provided that such agreement is both (i) binding on the IRS to the same degree as a private letter ruling or is otherwise acceptable to EFH Corp., TCEH, the Plan Sponsors, and the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors in their reasonable discretion and (ii) contains, in the reasonable determination of EFH Corp., TCEH, the Plan Sponsors, and the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors, conclusions that are substantially similar, and have substantially the same practical effect, to those contained in the Required Rulings provided further, however, that the failure of the Private Letter Ruling to contain any of the rulings described in clauses (l), (m), or (n) in the definition of “Required Rulings” shall not be grounds for concluding the Private Letter Ruling is not reasonably satisfactory to EFH Corp., TCEH, or the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors; provided further, however, that the failure to obtain a ruling that provides that Reorganized TCEH and the Preferred Stock Entity have never been a member of the EFH Group shall not, standing alone, be grounds for concluding the Private Letter Ruling is not reasonably satisfactory;

5. the Debtors shall have obtained the Required Opinions, and such opinions have not been withdrawn, rescinded, or amended;

6. the facts presented and the representations made in the IRS Submissions are true, correct, and complete in all material respects as of the Effective Date;

9. all Claims against the EFH Debtors and/or the EFIH Debtors with respect to any Makewhole Claim shall be Disallowed Makewhole Claims;

10. the final version of the Plan, the Plan Supplement and all of the schedules, documents, and exhibits contained therein (including the New Employee Agreements/Arrangements and the Employment Agreements) shall have been Filed in a manner consistent in all material respects with the Plan, the Transaction Agreements, the Plan Support Agreement, and the Settlement Order, and shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Debtors, the Plan Sponsors, the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors, and, to the extent of any consent or consultation rights provided under the Plan Support Agreement through the Plan Support Termination Date, the TCEH Supporting Second Lien Creditors and the TCEH Committee;

ARTICLE XII.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

 

A. Immediate Binding Effect.

Subject to Article IX.B of the Plan and notwithstanding Bankruptcy Rules 3020(e), 6004(h), or 7062 or otherwise, upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, the terms of the Plan shall be immediately effective and enforceable and deemed binding upon the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and any and all Holders of Claims or Interests (irrespective of whether such Claims or Interests are deemed to have accepted the Plan), all Entities that are parties to or are subject to the settlements, compromises, releases, discharges, exculpations, and injunctions described in the Plan, each Entity acquiring property under the Plan, and any and all non-Debtor parties to Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases with the Debtors. Nothing in the Plan or the Confirmation Order affects the DIP Lenders’ rights or interests provided under the DIP Facilities, the DIP Agreements, or the DIP Orders, including with respect to (1) any waivers or releases contained therein or (2) the DIP Agents’ rights to exercise event of default remedies (including after the Confirmation Date and before the Effective Date), until the DIP Claims are satisfied in full.

 

B. Additional Documents.

On or before the Effective Date, the Debtors may File with the Bankruptcy Court such agreements and other documents as may be necessary or advisable to effectuate and further evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan. The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and all Holders of Claims and Interests receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan and all other parties in interest shall, from time to time, prepare, execute, and deliver any agreements or documents and take any other actions as may be necessary or advisable to effectuate the provisions and intent of the Plan.

 

C. Payment of Statutory Fees.

All fees payable pursuant to section 1930(a) of the Judicial Code, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court at a hearing pursuant to section 1128 of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be paid by each of the Reorganized Debtors (or the Disbursing Agent on behalf of each of the Reorganized Debtors) for each quarter (including any fraction thereof) until the Chapter 11 Cases are converted, dismissed, or closed, whichever occurs first.

 

D. Statutory Committee and Cessation of Fee and Expense Payment.

On the Effective Date, any statutory committee appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases (including the EFH/EFIH Committee and the TCEH Committee) shall dissolve; provided, however, that, following the Effective Date, the EFH/EFIH Committee and the TCEH Committee shall continue in existence and have standing and a right to be heard for the following limited purposes: (i) Claims and/or applications, and any relief related thereto, for compensation by professionals and requests for allowance of Administrative Claims for substantial contribution pursuant to section 503(b)(3)(D) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (ii) appeals of the Confirmation Order as to which the EFH/EFIH Committee or TCEH Committee, as applicable, is a party. Upon dissolution of the EFH/EFIH Committee and TCEH Committee, the members thereof and their respective officers, employees, counsel, advisors, and agents shall be released and discharged from all rights and duties from or related to the Chapter 11 Cases. The Reorganized Debtors shall no longer be responsible for paying any fees or expenses incurred by the members of or advisors to any statutory committees after the Effective Date, except to as to the continued limited purposes identified above or as otherwise provided.

 

E. Reservation of Rights.

Except as expressly set forth in the Plan, the Plan shall have no force or effect unless the Bankruptcy Court shall enter the Confirmation Order. None of the Filing of the Plan, any statement or provision contained in the Plan, or the taking of any action by any Debtor with respect to the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or the Plan Supplement shall be or shall be deemed to be an admission or waiver of any rights of any Debtor or any other Entity with respect to the Holders of Claims or Interests prior to the Effective Date.

 

88

After the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors are authorized to limit the list of Entities receiving documents pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002 to those Entities who have Filed such renewed requests.

 

H. Term of Injunctions or Stays.

Unless otherwise provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, all injunctions or stays in effect in the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to sections 105 or 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or any order of the Bankruptcy Court, and extant on the Confirmation Date (excluding any injunctions or stays contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order) shall remain in full force and effect until the Effective Date. All injunctions or stays contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

91


J. Exhibits.

All exhibits and documents included in the Plan Supplement are incorporated into and are a part of the Plan as if set forth in full in the Plan.

K. Nonseverability of Plan Provisions.

If, before Confirmation, any term or provision of the Plan is held by the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court shall have the power to alter and interpret such term or provision to make it valid or enforceable to the maximum extent practicable, consistent with the original purpose of the term or provision held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, and such term or provision shall then be applicable as altered or interpreted. Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration, or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions of the Plan will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired, or invalidated by such holding, alteration, or interpretation. The Confirmation Order shall constitute a judicial determination and shall provide that each term and provision of the Plan, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is: (1) valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms; (2) integral to the Plan and may not be deleted or modified without the Debtors’ or Reorganized Debtors’ consent, as applicable; and (3) nonseverable and mutually dependent.

N. Conflicts.

Except as set forth in the Plan, to the extent that any provision of the Disclosure Statement, the Plan Supplement, the Merger and Purchase Agreement, the Backstop Agreement, or any agreement or order (other than the Confirmation Order) referenced in the Plan (or any exhibits, schedules, appendices, supplements, or amendments to any of the foregoing), conflict with or are in any way inconsistent with any provision of the Plan, the Plan shall govern and control; provided, however, with respect to any conflict or inconsistency between the Plan and the Confirmation Order, the Confirmation Order shall govern.

I. Executive Summary

 

A. Purpose of this Disclosure Statement and the Plan.

Energy Future Holdings Corp. (“EFH Corp.” and, together with certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries listed on Exhibit A attached hereto, the “EFH Debtors”), the ultimate parent company of each of the entities that comprise the EFH corporate group (collectively, “EFH”); Texas Competitive Electric Holdings Company LLC (“TCEH” and, together with its direct parent company, Energy Future Competitive Holdings Company LLC (“EFCH”) and certain of TCEH’s direct and indirect subsidiaries as listed on Exhibit B attached hereto, the “TCEH Debtors”); and Energy Future Intermediate Holding Company LLC (“EFIH” and, together with EFIH Finance, Inc., the “EFIH Debtors” and the EFH Debtors, the TCEH Debtors, and the EFIH Debtors collectively, the “Debtors”) are providing you with the information in this second amended disclosure statement (the “Disclosure Statement”) on the date hereof (the “Solicitation Date”) pursuant to section 1125 of chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in connection with the chapter 11 cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) commenced by the Debtors on April 29, 2014 (the “Petition Date”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”).

The Debtors seek to confirm the Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al., Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, filed on August 10, 2015 [D.I.     ] (the “Plan”), filed contemporaneously herewith4 including the Plan Supplement, to effect a comprehensive restructuring of their respective balance sheets (the “Restructuring”). The Bankruptcy Court approved this Disclosure Statement, authorized solicitation of votes to accept or reject the Plan, and scheduled the hearing to confirm the Plan (the “Confirmation Hearing”) to begin at [Time] (prevailing Eastern Time) on [Date], 2015. It is important that Holders of Claims and Interests carefully read this Disclosure Statement and all of the materials attached to this Disclosure Statement and incorporated into this Disclosure Statement by reference to fully understand the business operations of all of the Debtors and their non-Debtor affiliates.

As described in this Disclosure Statement, the Debtors believe that the Plan provides for a comprehensive restructuring and recapitalization of the Debtors’ pre-bankruptcy obligations and corporate form, preserves the going-concern value of the Debtors’ businesses, maximizes recoveries available to all constituents, provides for an equitable distribution to the Debtors’ stakeholders, protects the jobs of employees, and ensures continued provision of electricity in Texas to the TCEH Debtors’ approximately 1.7 million retail customers and the smooth delivery of electricity to the entire state through the TCEH Debtors’ generation activities.

A bankruptcy court’s confirmation of a plan of reorganization binds the debtor, any entity or person acquiring property under the plan, any creditor of or interest holder in a debtor, and any other entities and persons as may be ordered by the bankruptcy court to the terms of the confirmed plan, whether or not such creditor or interest holder is impaired under or has voted to accept the plan or receives or retains any property under the plan, through an order confirming the plan (as defined in the Plan, the “Confirmation Order”). Among other things (subject to certain limited exceptions and except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order), the Confirmation Order will discharge the Debtors from any Claim (as that term is defined in the Plan) arising before the Effective Date and substitute the obligations set forth in the Plan for those pre-bankruptcy Claims. Under the Plan, Claims and Interests are divided into groups called “Classes” according to their relative priority and other criteria.

 

4  The Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit C and incorporated into this Disclosure Statement by reference. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Disclosure Statement have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Plan, and capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Executive Summary have the meanings ascribed to them in the remainder of this Disclosure Statement or the Plan. Additionally, this Disclosure Statement incorporates the rules of interpretation set forth in Article I.B of the Plan. The summaries provided in this Disclosure Statement of any documents attached to this Disclosure Statement, including the Plan, the exhibits, and the other materials referenced in the Plan, the Plan Supplement, and any other documents referenced or summarized herein, are qualified in their entirety by reference to the applicable document. In the event of any inconsistency between the discussion in this Disclosure Statement and the documents referenced or summarized herein, the applicable document being referenced or summarized shall govern. In the event of any inconsistencies between any document and the Plan, the Plan shall govern.


Each of the Debtors is a proponent of the Plan within the meaning of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Plan does not contemplate the substantive consolidation of the Debtors’ estates. Except to the extent that a Holder of an Allowed Claim agrees to a less favorable treatment of such Claim, in full and final satisfaction, settlement, release, and discharge of and in exchange for such Claim, each Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest with regard to each of the Debtors will receive the same recovery (if any) provided to other Holders of Allowed Claims or Allowed Interests in the applicable Class according to the respective Debtor against which they hold a Claim or Interest, and will be entitled to their Pro Rata share of consideration available for distribution to such Class (if any).

The Debtors believe that their businesses and assets have significant value that would not be realized under any alternative reorganization option or in a liquidation. Consistent with the valuation, liquidation, and other analyses prepared by the Debtors with the assistance of their advisors, the going concern value of the Debtors is substantially greater than their liquidation value. The Debtors believe that all alternative transactions that have been presented to the Debtors to date would result in significant delays, litigation, and additional risks and costs, and could negatively affect the Debtors’ value by, among other things, increasing administrative costs and causing unnecessary uncertainty with the Debtors’ key customers, employees, trading counterparties, and supplier constituencies, which could ultimately lower the recoveries for all Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests.

Prior to voting on the Plan, you are encouraged to read this Disclosure Statement and all documents attached to this Disclosure Statement in their entirety, as well as the various reports and other filings filed with the SEC by the Debtors and their Affiliates (collectively, the “EFH Public Filings”). The EFH Public Filings include those reports filed by EFH Corp., EFIH, and EFCH, as well as those filed by the non-Debtor Entity Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC (“Oncor Electric”) and Oncor Electric Delivery Transition Bond Company LLC (“Oncor BondCo”). The EFH Public Filings are available free of charge online at http://www.energyfutureholdings.com/financial/default.aspx, http://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml, and www.efhcaseinfo.com. This Disclosure Statement expressly incorporates the EFH Public Filings by reference. As reflected in the EFH Public Filings and this Disclosure Statement, there are risks, uncertainties, and other important factors that could cause the Debtors’ actual performance or achievements to be materially different from those they may project, and the Debtors undertake no obligation to update any such statement. Certain of these risks, uncertainties, and factors are described in Section VIII of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Risk Factors,” which begins on page 153.

 

B. Overview of EFH.

EFH’s businesses include the largest generator, distributor, and certified retail provider of electricity (or “REP”) in Texas.5 EFH conducts substantially all of its business operations in the electricity market overseen by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (“ERCOT”), which covers the majority of Texas. The Texas electricity market, in turn, is subject to oversight and regulation by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (the “PUCT”). As of December 31, 2014, EFH had approximately 8,920 employees, approximately 5,500 of whom are employed by the Debtors and the remainder of which are employed by the non-Debtor, Oncor Electric. EFH has three distinct business units:

 

    EFH’s competitive electricity generation, mining, wholesale electricity sales, and commodity risk management and trading activities, conducted by the TCEH Debtors composing “Luminant”;

 

    EFH’s competitive retail electricity sales and related operations, mainly conducted by the TCEH Debtors composing “TXU Energy”;6 and

 

    EFH’s rate-regulated electricity transmission and distribution operations, conducted by the non-Debtor Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC (“Oncor Electric”). EFIH, which is 100% owned by EFH Corp., indirectly owns approximately 80% of Oncor Electric. As described below, Oncor Holdings and Oncor Electric are not Debtors in the Chapter 11 Cases.

 

5  For financial reporting under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“US GAAP”), EFH Corp. reports information for two segments: the Competitive Electric and Regulated Delivery business segments. The Competitive Electric segment includes both Luminant and TXU Energy. The Regulated Delivery segment is composed of Oncor. The Competitive Electric segment is essentially engaged in the production of electricity and the sale of electricity in wholesale and retail channels.
6  The Debtors also conduct a relatively small amount of retail electricity operations through their 4Change Energy brand and another entity, Luminant ET Services Company, which provides retail electricity service to one municipality and to some of Luminant’s mining operations, and a small amount of retail gas operations through Luminant Energy Company LLC.

 

2


EFH and its management team have significant experience as leaders in the electricity industry.

Luminant owns and operates 13 power plants comprising 36 electricity generation units.7 Luminant’s total electricity generation of 13,772 megawatts (“MW”) accounts for approximately 15% of the generation capacity in the ERCOT market. Luminant sells approximately 50% of its electricity generation output to TXU Energy, and sells the remainder through bilateral sales to third parties or through sales directly to ERCOT. Luminant also owns and operates 12 surface lignite coal mines in Texas that supply coal to Luminant’s lignite/coal-fueled units.8 Luminant is the largest coal miner in Texas and the ninth-largest coal miner in the United States.9

TXU Energy sells electricity to approximately 1.7 million residential and business customers, and is the single largest REP by customer count in Texas. TXU Energy serves approximately 25% of the residential customers and approximately 19% of the business customers in the areas of the ERCOT market that are open to competition. TXU Energy generally purchases all of its electricity requirements from Luminant. TXU Energy maintains a strong position in the highly competitive ERCOT retail electricity market due to its industry-leading customer care performance and technological innovation.

Oncor Electric is engaged in rate-regulated electricity transmission and distribution activities in Texas. Oncor Electric provides these services at rates approved by the PUCT to REPs (including TXU Energy) that sell electricity to residential and business customers, as well as to electricity distribution companies, cooperatives, and municipalities. Oncor Electric operates the largest transmission and distribution system in Texas, delivering electricity to more than 3.3 million homes and businesses and operating more than 121,000 miles of transmission and distribution lines. Oncor Electric has the largest geographic service territory of any transmission and distribution utility within the ERCOT market, covering 91 counties and over 400 incorporated municipalities. Importantly, however, Oncor Electric is “ring-fenced” from the Debtors: it has an independent board of directors, and it is operated, financed, and managed independently. As a result, its financial results of operation are not consolidated into EFH Corp.’s financial statements. A significant portion of Oncor Electric’s revenues are attributable to TXU Energy, which is Oncor Electric’s largest customer. Oncor Holdings, Oncor Electric, and their ring-fenced subsidiaries are not Debtors in the Chapter 11 Cases.

EFH largely adopted its current organizational structure, and issued a significant portion of the debt that composes its capital structure, in October 2007, as a result of the private acquisition of a public company, TXU Corp. (the “2007 Acquisition”). At the time, investment funds affiliated with Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (“KKR”), TPG Capital, L.P. (“TPG”) and Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”) (together with KKR and TPG, the “Sponsor Group”), together with certain co-investors, contributed approximately $8.3 billion of equity capital into EFH through Texas Energy Future Holdings Limited Partnership (“Texas Holdings”). And, like many other private acquisitions, EFH issued significant new debt and assumed existing debt and liabilities in connection with the 2007 Acquisition. Immediately following the 2007 Acquisition, the Debtors’ total funded indebtedness was approximately $36.13 billion, comprised of approximately $28.8 billion at TCEH, $128 million at EFCH, and $7.2 billion at EFH Corp.

As of the Petition Date, the principal amount of the Debtors’ total funded indebtedness was nearly $42 billion, including:

 

    approximately $24.385 billion of TCEH First Lien Debt (excluding amounts due under canceled TCEH First Lien Interest Rate Swaps and TCEH First Lien Commodity Hedges, which the TCEH Debtors estimate total approximately $1.235 billion), $1.571 billion of TCEH Second Lien Notes, $5.237 billion of TCEH Unsecured Notes, and $875 million of Pollution Control Revenue Bonds;

 

7  Of those units, 32 units are in active year-round operation, and four units (at two plants) are subject to seasonal operation.
8  Of these mines, eight are active, two are in development, and two are currently idle.
9  Based on tons of coal mined in 2013.

 

3


    approximately $61 million of Tex-La Obligations that are obligations of EFCH, which are guaranteed by EFH Corp., and secured by an interest in certain assets owned by the TCEH Debtors and Oncor, and approximately $9 million of EFCH 2037 Notes;

 

    approximately $1.929 billion of EFH Unsecured Notes (including $1.282 billion of EFH Legacy Notes held by EFIH); and

 

    approximately $3.985 billion of EFIH First Lien Notes, $2.156 billion of EFIH Second Lien Notes, and $1.568 billion of EFIH Unsecured Notes.

Although the Debtors’ core business operations are strong, and TCEH and EFIH have historically been and will continue to be cash flow positive before debt service, low wholesale electricity prices in the Texas electricity market have made it impossible for the TCEH Debtors to support their current debt load. In October 2007, the main ingredients for EFH’s financial success were robust. Since 2007, however, overall economic growth was reduced because of the economic recession in 2008 and 2009 and wholesale electricity prices have significantly declined. The material and unexpected reduction in wholesale electricity prices was caused, in large part, by an increase in the supply of natural gas caused by the rise of hydraulic fracturing (known as “fracking”) and advances in directional drilling techniques. This increase in the supply of natural gas caused a significant decline in natural gas prices, and because the wholesale price of electricity in the ERCOT market is closely tied to the price of natural gas, the wholesale price of electricity in the ERCOT market has significantly declined since 2007. As a result of this significant decline in wholesale electricity prices in ERCOT coupled with higher fuel and environmental compliance costs, the profitability of the TCEH Debtors’ generation assets has substantially declined.

Separately, EFIH and EFH Corp. have significant funded indebtedness and had insufficient cash flows to service those obligations. Before the Petition Date, EFIH—which is a holding company that has no independent business operations—relied on dividend distributions from Oncor Electric and intercompany interest payments (relating to debt issued by EFH Corp. and the TCEH Debtors that EFIH acquired in exchange offers) to satisfy its funded debt obligations. These sources of cash, however, were not sufficient to service EFIH’s obligations. EFH Corp. also has minimal cash flow. As a result, both EFIH and EFH Corp. faced significant liquidity constraints that prompted their chapter 11 filings.

 

C. Overview of the Plan.

 

  1. Events Leading Up to the Plan.

The Debtors filed the Plan and this Disclosure Statement after months of negotiations with stakeholders regarding a consensual, value-maximizing plan of reorganization. The Debtors commenced their Chapter 11 Cases on April 29, 2014, after signing a restructuring support agreement (the “Restructuring Support Agreement”) with certain of their significant stakeholders. The Restructuring Support Agreement was the product of arm’s-length negotiations with the Debtors’ stakeholders and more than two years of efforts to evaluate available restructuring alternatives. At the time the Debtors signed the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Restructuring Support Agreement represented the best available, value-maximizing restructuring alternative. The Restructuring Support Agreement contemplated, among other things, an EFIH Second Lien DIP Facility, under which certain Holders of EFIH Unsecured Notes would have become the majority owners of Reorganized EFH. After the Debtors filed the Chapter 11 Cases, however, the Debtors received competing offers to acquire EFH Corp.’s economic ownership interest in Oncor Electric, including from third party strategic buyers. These bids offered new alternatives to maximize the value of the Debtors’ estates, and the Debtors opted to terminate the Restructuring Support Agreement in July 2014 to pursue these potential offers, consistent with their fiduciary duties.

After terminating the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Debtors then worked diligently with their advisors and stakeholders to develop a process to maximize estate recoveries resulting from the market interest in EFH

Corp.’s indirect economic ownership interest in Oncor Electric (the “Bidding Procedures”). The Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the Bidding Procedures and related auction process for the selection of the highest or otherwise best bid (the “Bidding Procedures Order”). As described in Section IV.G., entitled “Exploring the EFH/EFIH Transaction,” which begins on page 69, following entry of the Bidding Procedures Order, the Debtors received Round 1 Bids and Round 2 Bids (each as defined herein) from various strategic and third-party bidders, engaged in extensive diligence sessions with interested bidders, and exchanged drafts of proposed definitive documentation.

At the same time, the Debtors and their advisors took a number of key steps to advance plan negotiations and set the stage for the negotiations and settlements that led to the filing of the Plan and Disclosure Statement.

In November 2014, each of EFH Corp., EFIH, and EFCH/TCEH, retained counsel and financial advisors (together, the “Conflicts Matter Advisors”) to advise and represent them in reviewing and analyzing actual conflicts matters among those Debtors’ estates, including potential intercompany Claims among the Debtors, at the direction of the disinterested directors and managers at each of EFH, EFIH, and EFCH/TCEH, respectively.

Additionally, to allow the disinterested directors or managers and the Conflicts Matter Advisors to fully engage in restructuring discussions on actual conflict matters, the Debtors expended significant efforts to provide the Conflicts Matter Advisors with diligence regarding potential conflicts matters and actual conflicts matters. This included frequent telephonic and in-person diligence sessions, and involved the Debtors or their advisors providing materials or presentations that helped inform the Conflicts Matter Advisors on key factual and legal issues and the Debtors’ historical transactions.

The Debtors’ co-chief restructuring officers (“co-CROs”) led the development of a plan term sheet that was based on proposals and feedback received from the Debtors’ creditors following numerous meetings and telephone conferences the Debtors and their advisors participated in with their stakeholders where the parties discussed various plan of reorganization concepts and issues. Numerous stakeholders made their own proposals, which the Debtors closely reviewed and analyzed.

On February 11, 2015, taking into consideration the various stakeholder discussions and proposals, the Debtors posted to their restructuring website and circulated to their key stakeholders a plan term sheet that contemplated a global settlement of all intercompany claims and a proposed confirmation timeline. The substantive content of the plan term sheet and confirmation timeline was approved by the co-CROs. While the Debtors had not sought and received approval from their boards of the substantive content of the plan term sheet, the circulation of the plan term sheet and confirmation timeline was supported by each of the Debtors’ boards, including the disinterested directors and managers after consultation with their respective Conflicts Matter Advisors. Although this plan term sheet did not include key numbers regarding plan treatment and intercompany claim issues, the Debtors circulated the plan term sheet to stakeholders for the purposes of putting forth a flexible structure, fostering dialogue about a comprehensive solution, and soliciting stakeholder feedback on how to improve and refine the suggested structure.

Following nearly a month of discussions and negotiations with their stakeholders about the plan term sheet and alternative proposals, on March 9, 2015, the Debtors circulated to the same stakeholder groups a revised draft of the plan term sheet and a revised proposed confirmation timeline that set forth preliminary illustrative settlement numbers based on feedback the co-CRO’s had received from stakeholders. The substantive content of the plan term sheet and confirmation timeline were approved by the co-CROs and the numbers were intended to strike a preliminary but appropriate balance among the various interests reflected in the various proposals that had been discussed. As had been the case with the term sheet circulated on February 11, 2015, while the Debtors had not sought and received approval from their boards of the substantive content of the revised plan term sheet, the circulation of the revised plan term sheet and confirmation timeline was supported by each of the Debtors’ boards, including the disinterested directors and managers in consultation with their respective Conflicts Matter Advisors.

Since the engagement of the Conflicts Matter Advisors and while all of the above was taking place, the Debtors’ disinterested directors and managers undertook a comprehensive process to prepare for and participate in negotiations with each other regarding the various inter-Debtor issues and claims that would necessarily affect any plan of reorganization. This included in-person and telephonic discussions and negotiation sessions over the course of multiple weeks and culminated in a settlement among the Debtors’ disinterested directors and managers (the “Disinterested Director Settlement”). This settlement is based on independent analyses and diligence conducted by the Debtors’ disinterested directors and managers after consultation with the Conflicts Matter Advisors and was the product of significant and deliberate negotiations among the Debtors’ disinterested directors and managers.

In sum, the co-CROs led the formulation and the negotiation of the Plan as a whole, subject to the Debtors’ disinterested directors’ and managers’ formulation and negotiation of the Plan with respect to actual conflict matters.

Approximately one year after the Petition Date, and following months of discussions with their stakeholders and following good faith, arm’s length negotiations among the Debtors’ disinterested directors and managers, the Debtors filed initial versions of the Plan and Disclosure Statement on April 14, 2015 in a continued effort to negotiate a consensual, value-maximizing Plan.

The versions of the Plan and Disclosure Statement filed on April 14, 2015 provided for a Spin-Off and one of three forms of transaction for Reorganized EFH: a merger, an equity investment, or a standalone reorganization (such contemplated transactions, the “EFH/EFIH Transaction”). As described in Section IV.G., entitled “Exploring the EFH/EFIH Transaction” which begins on page 75, following the filing of the initial versions of the Plan and the Disclosure Statement, the Debtors continued to evaluate the possibility of executing a potential EFH/EFIH Transaction through the formal auction process governed by the Bidding Procedures Order. Ultimately, the Debtors determined that they were not prepared to enter into a definitive agreement for any of the Round 2 Bids they received in connection with the auction.

At the same time the Debtors explored potential bids in connection with the formal auction process, the Debtors continued to engage in discussions with their various creditor constituencies regarding the possibility of converting EFIH’s interest in Oncor Electric into a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (a “REIT” and the transactions and commercial arrangements necessary to implement a REIT structure for EFH, Reorganized EFH, EFIH, Reorganized EFIH, and/or any direct or indirect subsidiary of EFIH or Reorganized EFIH (or a successor of any of these entities), the “REIT Reorganization”), a possibility that has long been known to the Debtors and their creditors as a potential option for unlocking significant value for the EFIH Debtors but which requires certain rulings from, among others, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and the PUCT.

Based on these discussions, the Debtors and various of their constituencies discussed several potential paths forward, described in greater detail in Section IV.G. entitled “Exploring the EFH/EFIH Transaction,” which begins on page 73. Ultimately, the Debtors determined to pursue two aspects of the EFH/EFIH Transaction alternatives provided for in the versions of the Plan and Disclosure Statement filed on April 14, 2015: (a) a merger and investment structure, in which certain investors (including, potentially, existing creditor constituencies) would provide a new-money contribution that would be used to provide a full recovery to Allowed Claims against EFH and EFIH, in cash (excluding Makewhole Claims) and (b) the Spin-Off. As a condition to effectiveness of the Merger (as described below and in the Plan), Reorganized EFH (or a successor entity) would be required to successfully obtain certain approvals and rulings, including PUCT approvals and IRS rulings, necessary for the REIT Reorganization.

Ultimately, the Debtors, the Plan Sponsors,10 the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors, the TCEH Supporting Second Lien Creditors, the TCEH Committee, and the TCEH Unsecured Ad Hoc Group, executed that certain Plan Support Agreement, dated as of August 9, 2015 (as may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance therewith, including all exhibits and schedules attached thereto, the “Plan Support Agreement”). which requires, among other things, that the parties to the Plan Support Agreement support the Plan and seek prompt confirmation and consummation of the Restructuring Transactions contemplated therein, and subject to the conditions set forth therein.

 

10  As defined in the Plan, “Plan Sponsors” means the Equity Investors and the Backstop Purchasers, provided, however, that where consent, approval, or waiver of the Plan Sponsors is required under the Plan, the Plan Sponsors shall mean at least 50.10% in number of unaffiliated Equity Investors and Backstop Purchasers holding in the aggregate at least 66.67% in amount of the aggregate amount of (a) the Investment Commitments (as defined in the Equity Commitment Letter) set forth on Exhibit A to the Equity Commitment Letter (as amended from time to time in accordance therewith) and with this Agreement and (b) “Backstop Commitments” (as defined in the Backstop Agreement) set forth on Schedule 1 to the Backstop Agreement (as amended from time to time in accordance therewith and with this Agreement), provided, further, however, that on and after the date that the Merger Agreement is executed by the parties thereto, Plan Sponsors shall mean New EFH.

Consequently, the Plan reflects the following key provisions, among others:

 

    Merger and Funding Commitments. The Plan contemplates a merger (the “Merger”) pursuant to that certain Purchase Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 9, 2015, as may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance therewith, including all exhibits attached thereto (the “Merger and Purchase Agreement”) by and among EFH Corp., EFIH, and two acquisition vehicles controlled by certain purchasers (such acquisition vehicles, as defined in the Plan, “New EFH” and “OV2”) on the Effective Date of Reorganized EFH with and into New EFH in a transaction intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization, under section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, with New EFH continuing as the surviving corporation.

As a condition to closing the Merger, the Debtors would be required to achieve the REIT Reorganization. The Merger would be funded through equity investments made pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letter, Rights Offering, and Backstop Agreement (collectively, the “Equity Investment”), each as described below and each of which would be used to fund certain distributions under the Plan.

 

    Equity Commitment Letter. Certain equity purchasers (as defined in the Plan, the “Equity Investors”), New EFH, OV2, EFH Corp., and EFIH executed that certain letter agreement, dated as of August 9, 2015, pursuant to which, among other things, each Equity Investor committed, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, to make new money equity investments in one or both of New EFH and OV2 in the proportions and amounts set forth therein in order to fund a portion of the amounts payable by New EFH and OV2 pursuant to the Merger and Purchase Agreement and the Minority Buy-Out (the “Equity Commitment Letter”).

 

    Rights Offering Proceeds and Backstop Agreement. A Rights Offering by New EFH to certain Holders of Allowed TCEH First Lien Secured Claims, Allowed TCEH Second Lien Note Claims, Allowed TCEH Unsecured Note Claims, Allowed PCRB Claims, and Allowed General Unsecured Claims Against the TCEH Debtors, Other Than EFCH (collectively, the “Rights Offering Allowed Claims,11 and the Holders of such Rights Offering Allowed Claims collectively, the “Rights Offering Participants”) to purchase New EFH Common Stock at a purchase price of $[        ] per share pursuant to certain procedures approved by the Bankruptcy Court [D.I.     ] (the “Rights Offering Procedures”). In connection with the Rights Offering, certain purchasers (collectively, the “Backstop Purchasers”) committed Cash to be funded on the terms set forth in the Backstop Agreement, dated as of August 9, 2015, by and among EFH Corp., EFIH, New EFIH, and the Backstop Purchasers (the “Backstop Agreement”) and in accordance with the Plan and, in the event, the Rights Offering is not fully subscribed, on the Effective Date, the Backstop Purchasers would fund the Backstop Commitment (as defined in the Backstop Agreement).

 

    Settlement of Claims and Causes of Action. In addition, over the course of nearly a year, the Debtors have produced an immense amount of discovery (totaling over 8.5 million pages) to various creditor constituencies in connection with the Legacy Discovery Protocol, described in further detail in Section IV.I, entitled “Legacy Discovery,” beginning on page 73. The Legacy Discovery Protocol covered an extraordinarily wide breadth of topics.

 

11  The number of Rights offered to Holders of Allowed TCEH Second Lien Note Claims, Allowed TCEH Unsecured Note Claims, and Allowed General Unsecured Claims Against the TCEH Debtors Other Than EFCH, respectively, will be calculated taking into account the waiver or deemed waiver by Holders of Allowed TCEH First Lien Deficiency Claims for the benefit of Holders of Allowed TCEH Second Lien Note Claims, Allowed TCEH Unsecured Note Claims, and Allowed General Unsecured Claims Against the TCEH Debtors Other Than EFCH, as described in Section V.B.15. herein, entitled “TCEH Settlement Claim,” which begins on page 90.

Additionally, any General Unsecured Claim Against TCEH Debtors Other Than EFCH that has been temporarily allowed for voting purposes pursuant to, and in accordance with, the Disclosure Statement Order shall constitute a Rights Offering Allowed Claim in the same amount solely for purposes of participation in the Rights Offering, and not for purposes of allowance and distribution).

In connection with the Merger, and as an outgrowth of the Legacy Discovery Protocol, and the Mediation, described in Section I.C., entitled “Overview of the Plan,” beginning on page 23, certain members of the TCEH First Lien Ad Hoc Committee (as defined in the Plan, the “TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors”), the members of the TCEH Unsecured Ad Hoc Group, certain members of the TCEH Second Lien Consortium (as defined in the Plan, the “TCEH Supporting Second Lien Creditors”),12 the TCEH Committee, the Debtors, and certain other Entities have reached a compromise and settlement of (a) certain Intercompany Claims; (b) certain Claims and Causes of Actions against Holders of TCEH First Lien Claims and the TCEH First Lien Agent; (c) certain Claims and Causes of Action against the Holders of Interests in EFH Corp. and certain related Entities; and (d) Claims and Causes of Action against any of the Debtors’ directors, managers, and officers, and other related Entities (such settlement, excluding ordinary course Debtor Intercompany Claims incurred pursuant to, and in accordance with, Paragraph 10 of the Cash Management Order, the “Settlement”). The Debtors will seek Court approval of the Settlement, as set forth in that certain Settlement Agreement (such agreement, the “Settlement Agreement,” and such Order from the Court, the “Settlement Order”).

The Debtors may withdraw the Plan at any time if the Debtors determine that pursuing Confirmation or Consummation of the Plan would be inconsistent with any Debtor’s fiduciary duties. Moreover, each of (a) the disinterested directors of EFH, (b) the disinterested manager of EFIH, and (c) the disinterested manager of TCEH may (without the consent of the other disinterested managers or disinterested directors, as applicable) terminate the Disinterested Director Settlement if any of them determines, based on the advice of counsel, that termination of the Disinterested Director Settlement would be consistent with the exercise of their fiduciary duties.

 

  2. Plan Structure.

The Plan is premised on the following structure:

 

    The Spin-Off of TCEH (which will be executed in conjunction with the Preferred Stock Sale (resulting in the Basis Step-Up)), followed by the Merger.

 

    Under the Spin-Off, TCEH will spin off from the Debtors to form a standalone reorganized entity, Reorganized TCEH, and certain tax attributes of the EFH Group will be substantially used to provide Reorganized TCEH with a partial step-up in tax basis in certain of its assets, valued at approximately $1.0 billion.

 

    Class C3: TCEH First Lien Secured Claims. As a result, the Holders of Allowed TCEH First Lien Secured Claims (Class C3) will receive their Pro Rata share of (a) the Reorganized TCEH Common Stock (subject to dilution by the Reorganized Debtor Management Incentive Plan); (b) 100% of the net cash proceeds from the Preferred Stock Sale and issuance of the New Reorganized TCEH Debt after the funding of certain Cash distributions under the Plan; (c) Rights to purchase $700 million in the aggregate of New EFH Common Stock pursuant to the Rights Offering and any New EFH Common Stock such Holder purchases pursuant to an exercise of the Rights; (d) the Rights assigned to Class C3 for the benefit of Holders of Allowed TCEH First Lien

 

12  As described in the Plan, where consent, waiver, or approval of the TCEH Supporting Second Lien Creditors is required under the Plan, the TCEH Supporting Second Lien Creditors shall mean at least two unaffiliated TCEH Supporting Second Lien Creditors is required under the Plan, the TCEH Supporting Second Lien Creditors shall mean at least two unaffiliated TCEH Supporting Second Lien Creditors holding in the aggregate at least 50.1% in aggregate principal amount of TCEH Second Lien Note Claims held by all TCEH Supporting Second Lien Creditors.

Secured Claims from a Holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim Against the TCEH Debtors Other Than EFCH upon the exercise by such Holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim Against the TCEH Debtors Other Than EFCH of the Cash-Out Election (such rights, the “Assigned C5 Rights”); (e) any Reorganized EFH Common Stock that would have otherwise been distributed to a Holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim Against the TCEH Debtors Other Than EFCH, which Reorganized EFH Common Stock shall be (x) assigned to Class C3 for the benefit of Holders of Allowed TCEH First Lien Secured Claims upon the exercise by such Holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim Against the TCEH Debtors Other Than EFCH of the Cash-Out Election, and (y) deemed contributed to Reorganized TCEH immediately thereafter; provided, however, that to the extent the deemed contribution of such Reorganized EFH Common Stock to Reorganized TCEH interferes with the preservation of the Intended Tax Treatment, the TCEH Debtors, EFH Corp., the Plan Sponsors, the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors, and the TCEH Committee shall reasonably agree to an appropriate modification of the Plan to preserve the Intended Tax Treatment (such equity, the “Assigned C5 Equity”); and (f) any Cash that remains in the Cash-Out Election Pool following distribution to Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims Against the TCEH Debtors Other Than EFCH that exercise the Cash-Out Election (described below), which Cash shall be distributed to Class C3 for the benefit of Holders of Allowed TCEH First Lien Secured Claims (the “Cash-Out Election Pool Excess Cash”).

 

    Class C4: TCEH Unsecured Debt Claims. Class C4 (TCEH Unsecured Debt Claims) will be composed of (a) Holders of Allowed TCEH First Lien Deficiency Claims (in the Allowed amount between $[8.1] billion and $[9.5] billion); (b) Allowed TCEH Second Lien Note Claims (in the Allowed amount of $1,648,597,521); (c) Allowed TCEH Unsecured Note Claims (in the Allowed amount of $[        ]); and (d) PCRB Claims (excluding the Repurchased PCRBs, in the Allowed amount of $[        ])).13

Each Holder of an Allowed Class C4 Claim will receive its Pro Rata share of (a) the Rights to purchase $[        ] in the aggregate, of New EFH Common Stock, pursuant to the Rights Offering and, and subject to, the occurrence of the Effective Date, the New EFH Common Stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Rights; and (b) [    ]% of the Reorganized EFH Common Stock, which shall be converted to approximately [    ]% of New EFH Common Stock (after accounting for dilution by the Merger and Rights Offering).

 

    Treatment of Allowed TCEH First Lien Deficiency Claims. Under the Settlement Agreement, Holders of Allowed TCEH Deficiency Claims (including the TCEH First Lien Agent), will waive any recovery or distribution on account of (but not voting rights in respect of) such Allowed TCEH First Lien Deficiency Claims.

 

    Consequently, (a) Holders of Allowed TCEH First Lien Deficiency Claims will not waive their voting rights in respect of such Allowed TCEH First Lien Deficiency Claims and (b) recovery or distribution on account of Allowed TCEH First Lien Deficiency Claim will instead be distributed, Pro Rata, to Holders of Allowed (i) TCEH Unsecured Note Claims; (ii) TCEH Second Lien Note Claims; and (iii) General Unsecured Claims Against the TCEH Debtors Other Than EFCH (collectively (i) through (iii), the “TCEH Deficiency Recipients”), in a proportion equal to the amount that each such Holder’s Allowed TCEH Deficiency Recipient Claim bears to the aggregate amount of all Allowed TCEH Deficiency Recipient Claims.

 

13  TCEH Debtor Intercompany Claims derived from, or based upon, the Repurchased PCRBs will be canceled and released without any distribution on account of such Claims. Subject to ongoing reconciliation and allowance and disallowance of Class C4 Claims, it is anticipated that Holders of Class C4 Claims will receive approximately 97% of the Rights and Reorganized EFH Common Stock. The Debtors, with the consent of the Plan Sponsors and the TCEH Committee, will determine the appropriate allocation of the Rights and Reorganized EFH Common Stock between Class C4 and Class C5 Claims on or before two (2) days before the hearing to approve the Disclosure Statement.

 

9


    Class C5: General Unsecured Claims Against the TCEH Debtors. Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims Against the TCEH Debtors Other Than EFCH will receive its Pro Rata share of (a) the Rights to purchase $[        ] in the aggregate, of New EFH Common Stock, pursuant to the Rights Offering and, and subject to, the occurrence of the Effective Date, the New EFH Common Stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Rights; and (b) [    ]% of the Reorganized EFH Common Stock, which shall be converted to approximately [    ]% of New EFH Common Stock (after accounting for dilution by the Merger and Rights Offering). Holders of Allowed Class C5 Claims may also elect to receive Cash in lieu of Rights to participate in the Rights Offering and Reorganized EFH Common Stock in the amount equal to its Pro Rata share (calculated based on the aggregate amount of Allowed Class C5 Claims) and in an aggregate amount not to exceed $42 million. To be eligible for the Cash-Out Election, Holders of Allowed Class C5 Claims must vote to accept the Plan and must not opt out of the releases provided for in the Plan.14 [As set forth in the letter attached as Exhibit M, the TCEH Committee recommends that Holders of General Unsecured Claims Against the TCEH Debtors Other Than EFCH and Holders of Unsecured Claims Against EFH Corporate Services vote in favor of the Plan as providing the best possible recovery for unsecured creditors.]

 

    TCEH will receive a settlement claim from EFH Corp. (the “TCEH Settlement Claim”) (as described below in Section 3, entitled “Settlement and Release of Debtor Claims,” which begins on page 12), in the amount of $700 million. The TCEH Settlement Claim shall be deemed satisfied without distribution upon consummation of the Merger.

 

    Holders of Allowed (a) EFH Corp. Claims; (b) General Unsecured Claims Against the EFH Debtors Other Than EFH Corp; (c) EFIH First Lien Note Claims; (d) EFIH Second Lien Note Claims; (e) EFH LBO Note Guaranty Claims; and (f) General Unsecured Claims Against the EFIH Debtors would receive payment in full in Cash from the proceeds of the Equity Investment, New Reorganized EFIH Debt, and Cash on hand up to the Allowed amount of their Claim or some other treatment rendering such Claims Unimpaired.

 

    The Rights to purchase the New EFH Common Stock pursuant to an exercise of the Rights, would be distributed to Holders of TCEH First Lien Secured Claims; Holders of TCEH Unsecured Debt Claims; and Holders of General Unsecured Claims Against the TCEH Debtors Other Than EFCH, on the terms set forth in the Plan and as described in Section V.E of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Treatment of Classified Claims and Interests,” which begins on page 102.

In exchange for the value provided and the compromises contained in the Plan and the Settlement Agreement, the Plan provides for the mutual release of Claims among all Debtors and consenting Holders of Claims and Interests and third-party releases of direct and indirect Holders of Interests in EFH Corp. and its affiliates.

Other significant aspects of the Plan are summarized below.

 

  (a) TCEH Spin-Off.

The Debtors will undertake the Spin-Off. Under the Spin-Off, TCEH will form a new subsidiary, Reorganized TCEH, to which (a) TCEH will transfer all of its interests in its subsidiaries (excluding the stock of TCEH Finance) and (b) the EFH Debtors will transfer (x) the equity interests in the Reorganized EFH Shared Services Debtors (or with the consent of TCEH and the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors, the assets and liabilities of the Reorganized EFH Shared Services Debtors related to the TCEH Debtors’ operations) and (y) with the consent of

 

14 

Subject to ongoing reconciliation and allowance and disallowance of Class C5 Claims, it is anticipated that Holders of Class C5 Claims will receive approximately 3% of the Rights and Reorganized EFH Common Stock, subject to exercise of the Cash-Out Election. The Debtors, with the consent of the Plan Sponsors and the TCEH Committee, will determine the appropriate allocation of the Rights and Reorganized EFH Common Stock between Class C4 and Class C5 Claims on or before two (2) days before the hearing to approve the Disclosure Statement.

 

10


TCEH and the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors, certain other assets, liabilities, and equity interests related to the TCEH Debtors’ operations (including the equity interests of non-Debtor EFH Properties Company or the lease for the Debtors’ corporate headquarters at “Energy Plaza” held by EFH Properties Company (but not including any Cash on hand at EFH Properties Company, which shall be transferred to Reorganized EFH)) in exchange for the consideration described in Article IV.B.2. of the Plan and Section V.B.2. of the Disclosure Statement, entitled “Spin-Off” which begins on page 90.

 

  (i) TCEH Step-Up in Tax Basis.

Pursuant to the Plan, substantially all of the tax attributes of the EFH Group will be used to provide Reorganized TCEH with a partial step-up in tax basis in certain of its assets (the “Basis Step-Up”), subject to an agreed NOL holdback amount as specified in the Plan and Exhibit [I] of the Plan Support Agreement.

For more information on the Basis Step-Up and the Preferred Stock Sale, refer to Section X.A of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Introduction” which begins on page 193.

 

  (ii) Private Letter Ruling.

The Spin-Off and the REIT Reorganization are conditioned upon the Debtors’ receipt of the Private Letter Ruling (as defined below) that includes certain rulings (such rulings, as defined in the Plan, the “Required Rulings”). EFH filed a written request with the IRS dated June 10, 2014 (the “Ruling Request”) that the IRS issue a private letter ruling (the “Private Letter Ruling”) to EFH addressing the qualification of the Contribution, the Reorganized TCEH Conversion, and the Distribution as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 368(a)(1)(G), 355, and 356 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended, the “IRC”), as well as addressing certain other matters. The Debtors have subsequently provided supplemental information to the IRS, and intend to further supplement their request for a Private Letter Ruling to address certain additional issues as reflected in the Plan Support Agreement and in the Plan.

 

  (b) REIT Reorganization.

As a condition to closing the Merger, the Debtors are required to obtain the Private Letter Ruling and certain other regulatory approvals with respect to the REIT Reorganization. Certain transactions that would be undertaken to effectuate the REIT Reorganization, as well as certain risks related to the REIT Reorganization and REITs in general, are discussed in detail in this Disclosure Statement, including in Section VIII.E., entitled “Risks Related to the REIT Reorganization,” which begins on page 167.

 

  (c) Treatment of TCEH First Lien Deficiency Claim.

As detailed below, the PCRBs are unsecured obligations of TCEH alone and TCEH’s obligations under these agreements are not secured or guaranteed by any of the other TCEH Debtors. As the settlement and compromises embodied in the Plan among the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors, TCEH Supporting Second Lien Creditors, TCEH Supporting Unsecured Creditors, and the TCEH Committee are primarily in resolution of the TCEH First Lien Investigation Claims, which sought to avoid, among other things, unperfected liens and security interests granted to the Holders of TCEH First Lien Claims, the Holders of PCRB Claims will not receive the benefit of the waiver of the TCEH First Lien Deficiency Claims or an additional distribution of Rights and Reorganized EFH Common Stock on account thereof. Nonetheless, the Parties to the Plan Support Agreement believe that the settlements and compromises embodied in the Plan provide a superior outcome for unsecured creditors of all of the TCEH Debtors, including the Holders of PCRB Claims, than any other plan of reorganization reasonably available and far more value than would have been available in a liquidation under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.

As a result, and subject to final agreement on the amount of the Allowed TCEH First Lien Deficiency Claim it is anticipated that Holders of Allowed PCRB Claims will receive between [45.2]% of the distribution that they would have otherwise received if the TCEH First Lien Deficiency Claim were waived for the benefit of all TCEH Unsecured Debt Claims, including the PCRB Claims. Specifically, it is expected that the Rights and Reorganized EFH Common Stock available under the Plan will be allocated as follows among unsecured creditors of the TCEH Debtors: (a) TCEH Unsecured Note Claims approximately [69.9%], (b) TCEH Second Lien Note Claims approximately [22.5%], (c) PCRB Claims approximately [5-5.1%], and (d) General Unsecured Claims Against the TCEH Debtors Other Than EFCH approximately [2.5%]. However, if the Court finds that the PCRBs must share pari passu with other Holders of

 

11


TCEH Unsecured Debt Claims, or if the parties to the Plan Support Agreement otherwise agree to a different treatment for the PCRB Claims, recoveries for Holders of Allowed TCEH Unsecured Note Claims, TCEH Second Lien Note Claims, and General Unsecured Claims Against the TCEH Debtors Other Than EFCH may be reduced Pro Rata by the portion of Rights and Reorganized EFH Common Stock that is allocated to the PCRB Claims. In the event the PCRBs were to receive pari passu treatment under the Plan, the allocation of Rights and Reorganized EFH Common Stock under the Plan would be: (a) TCEH Unsecured Note Claims approximately [65.4%], (b) TCEH Second Lien Note Claims approximately [21%], (c) PCRB Claims approximately [11.2%], and (d) General Unsecured Claims Against the TCEH Debtors Other Than EFCH approximately [2.4%]. As it is possible that the Plan could be confirmed with a distribution of Rights and equity anywhere between these two ranges, Holders of Claims in Class C4 and Class C5 should take such alternative distributions into account when casting their vote on the Plan.

 

D. Makewhole and Postpetition Interest Claims Discussion.

The Plan contemplates and is conditioned on the disallowance of all alleged Claims under certain series of EFH Corp. and EFIH funded indebtedness regarding the entitlement to optional redemption premiums or similar “makewhole” payments asserted in connection with the repayment or satisfaction of such indebtedness during the Chapter 11 Cases or under the Plan (“Makewhole Claims”). For more information on the applicable litigation thus far in the Chapter 11 Cases regarding Makewhole Claims, refer to Section IV.K of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Makewhole Litigation,” which begins on page 76.

The Plan also provides for payment of postpetition interest at the Federal Judgment Rate with respect to unsecured claims arising from EFH Corp. and EFIH funded indebtedness (“Postpetition Interest Claims”), but also provides for the establishment of a reserve (described below), in the event the Bankruptcy Court determines that postpetition interest should be allowed at a rate higher than the Federal Judgment Rate.

With respect to Postpetition Interest Claims, the Plan provides for Allowed Claims equal to the following amounts:

 

    EFIH Second Lien Note Claims: Accrued but unpaid postpetition interest (including any Additional Interest and interest on interest) on outstanding principal at the non-default contract rate set forth in the EFIH Second Lien Indenture through the Effective Date.

 

    General Unsecured Claims Against the EFIH Debtors: Accrued postpetition interest at the Federal Judgment Rate.

 

    EFH LBO Note Primary Claims: Accrued postpetition interest at the Federal Judgment Rate.

 

    EFH LBO Note Guaranty Claims: Accrued postpetition interest at the Federal Judgment Rate.

 

    EFH Unexchanged Note Claims: Accrued postpetition interest at the Federal Judgment Rate.

 

    EFH Legacy Note Claims: Accrued postpetition interest at the Federal Judgment Rate.

Claims for postpetition interest with respect to General Unsecured Claims Against the EFIH Debtors, EFH Legacy Note Claims, EFH LBO Note Claims, and EFH Unexchanged Note Claims shall be Allowed under the Plan at the Federal Judgment Rate. Any such Claims for postpetition interest in excess of the Federal Judgment Rate shall be Disputed. If such dispute is not resolved on or before the Effective Date, such Holders shall receive their treatment under the Plan, including payment of postpetition interest at the Federal Judgment Rate, and Reorganized EFH will establish on the Effective Date, a reserve in the amount of the difference between interest accrued on EFIH Unsecured Note Claims, EFH Legacy Note Claims, EFH LBO Note Claims, and EFH Unexchanged Note Claims from the Petition Date through the Effective Date at the Federal Judgment Rate, and interest accrued on such Claims from the Petition Date through the Effective Date at the applicable non-default contract rate, or such other amount ordered by the Bankruptcy Court (the “Postpetition Interest Reserve”).

The Postpetition Interest Reserve shall be used to pay to Holders of such Claims any additional postpetition interest ordered to be paid by the Bankruptcy Court or as agreed by the Plan Sponsors.

 

12


The Postpetition Interest Reserve, after payment in full of Allowed Claims against EFH Corp. and the EFIH Debtors, shall be repaid Pro Rata as a purchase price adjustment to the Rights Offering Participants and the Equity Investors, based on the amount of their new money equity investments with respect to Reorganized EFH and/or Reorganized EFIH. In addition, the Postpetition Interest Reserve shall be held and repaid in a manner that does not result in payment of a preferential dividend or otherwise prevent the REIT Reorganization.

For more information on these and other Claim and Interest Holder recoveries, including the forms of distributions, refer to Section V.E of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Treatment of Classified Claims and Interests,” which begins on page 102.

 

E. Settlement and Release of Debtor Claims.

The Plan includes a proposed settlement of numerous claims belonging to the Debtors, including claims against creditors, other Debtors, and third parties. During the Chapter 11 Cases a number of parties have asserted that there are potential litigation claims that could be asserted on behalf of EFCH, TCEH, and certain of EFCH’s and TCEH’s direct and indirect subsidiaries related to various pre-petition transactions. Motions seeking standing to prosecute and settle certain claims against Holders of TCEH First Lien Secured Claims were filed by (a) the TCEH Committee [D.I. 3593]; (b) the EFH Committee [D.I. 3605]; and (c) the TCEH Unsecured Ad Hoc Group [D.I. 3603]. Additional information regarding these motions is included in Section IV.J. of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “TCEH First Lien Investigation” which begins on page 75.

The transactions underlying these claims have been the subject of significant investigation by the Debtors (including their respective disinterested directors and managers and together with their respective Conflicts Matter Advisors), the Creditors’ Committees, and various creditor groups. In addition to informal diligence, in August 2014, the Debtors negotiated entry of an order establishing formal discovery procedures governing a wide breadth of prepetition issues and transactions for a broad time period, in some cases more than 15 years prepetition. This extensive discovery effort, referred to as Legacy Discovery, resulted in the Debtors’ production of more than 806,000 documents (comprising over 5.6 million pages). The Sponsor Group and other parties also made significant document productions. Further discussion of Legacy Discovery is provided in Section IV.I of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Legacy Discovery”, which begins on page 79.

The release provisions of the Plan contemplate, among other things, the release of any and all Causes of Action, including any derivative claims, asserted on behalf of the Debtors, that each Debtor would have been legally entitled to assert (whether individually or collectively). In particular, the Plan contemplates the settlement of all Intercompany Claims. This settlement is consistent with the Disinterested Director Settlement in that it releases Intercompany Claims and provides for the TCEH Settlement Claim to be allowed in the amount of $700 million against EFH Corp. However, the Disinterested Director Settlement provides for, but the Plan does not provide for, distribution of approximately 50% of distributable value of EFH Corp. to TCEH up to a total of $805 million. Under the Plan, the TCEH Settlement Claim shall be deemed satisfied without any distribution upon consummation of the Merger, in which certain Holders of Claims against TCEH will receive the stock of New EFH.

Other than the Allowed Claim and distribution right of TCEH in the EFH estate as described above, there will not be any allowed prepetition claims between any of EFH, EFIH, and TCEH or any of their subsidiaries, including Oncor Electric Distribution Holdings Company LLC and its subsidiary.

Each of (a) the disinterested directors of EFH, (b) the disinterested manager of EFIH, and (c) the disinterested manager of TCEH may (without the consent of the other disinterested managers or disinterested directors, as applicable) terminate the Disinterested Director Settlement if any of them determines, after consultation with counsel, that termination of the Disinterested Director Settlement would be consistent with the exercise of their fiduciary duties.

A summary of the alleged claims that would be settled pursuant to the Plan can be found in Section V.H.3 of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Summary and Discussion of Material Potential Claims Subject to Plan Settlement,” which begins on page 126.

F. Summary of Treatment of Claims and Interests and Description of Recoveries Under the Plan.

The Plan organizes the Debtors’ creditor and equity constituencies into Classes. For each Class, the Plan describes: (1) the underlying Claim or Interest; (2) the recovery available to the Holders of Claims or Interests in that Class under the Plan; (3) whether the Class is Impaired under the Plan; and (4) the form of consideration, if any, that such Holders will receive on account of their respective Claims or Interests.

Although the Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors are not proposing the substantive consolidation of their respective bankruptcy estates.

The proposed distributions and classifications under the Plan are based upon a number of factors. The valuation of Reorganized TCEH as a going concern is based upon the value of TCEH’s assets and liabilities as of an assumed Effective Date of March 31, 2016 and incorporates various assumptions and estimates, as discussed in detail in the Valuation Analysis of Reorganized TCEH, attached hereto as Exhibit G. The valuation of Reorganized EFH and Reorganized EFIH (including Oncor Electric) as a going concern is based upon the value considerations underlying the Merger, as described in Section VI.B.6. of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Valuation,” beginning on page 137.

The table below provides a summary of the classification, description, and treatment of Claims and Interests under the Plan. This information is provided in summary form below for illustrative purposes only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the Plan. For a more detailed description of the treatment of Claims and Interests under the Plan and the sources of satisfaction for Claims, including the treatment of certain types of Claims that are not separately classified under the Plan, see Section V of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Summary of the Plan,” which begins on page 91.

16  The TCEH First Lien Deficiency Claims are being waived for the benefit of the TCEH Deficiency Recipients, which is composed of Holders of TCEH Unsecured Note Claims, TCEH Second Lien Note Claims, and Allowed General Unsecured Claims Against the TCEH Debtors Other Than EFCH and does not include Holders of Allowed PCRB Claims. Subject to final agreement on the amount of the Allowed TCEH First Lien Deficiency Claim, it is anticipated that Holders of Allowed PCRB Claims will receive between [45.2]% of the distribution that they would have otherwise received if the TCEH First Lien Deficiency Claim were waived for the benefit of all Holders of Class C4 Claims, including the Allowed PCRB Claims.

I. Confirmation Process.

The following is a brief summary of the Confirmation process. Holders of Claims and Interests are encouraged to review the relevant provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and to consult their own advisors.

 

  1. Establishing the Disclosure Statement and Confirmation Proceedings Schedule.

On May 18, 2015, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Order (A) Scheduling Certain Hearing Dates and Deadlines, (B) Establishing Certain Protocols in Connection with Approval of Debtors’ Disclosure Statement, and (C) Establishing the Terms of the Governing Mediation [D.I. 4497] (the “Disclosure Statement Scheduling Order”). The Disclosure Statement Scheduling Order (a) scheduled certain dates and deadlines in connection with the approval of this Disclosure Statement (the “Disclosure Statement Proceedings”) and (b) established certain protocols in connection with the Disclosure Statement Proceedings.

The Disclosure Statement Scheduling Order also appointed Peter L. Borowitz, Esq. to serve as mediator (the “Mediator”) on issues regarding the terms of the Plan related to, or arising in connection with, the restructuring of the TCEH Debtors’ estates and the treatment of claims held by the parties to the mediation against the TCEH Debtors’ estates under the Plan (such parties, the “Mediation Parties” and such mediation, the “Mediation”). The Disclosure Statement Scheduling Order provided for the Mediation to terminate on July 20, 2015, unless terminated or extended by the Mediator or the Court, upon a motion by a Mediation Party. Following the appointment of the Mediator, the Debtors, at the Mediator’s request, provided diligence materials to the Mediator in connection with the Mediation and Mediator held various meetings with the Mediation Parties.

In accordance with paragraph 2 of the Disclosure Statement Scheduling Order, the Debtors discussed a proposed schedule regarding dates and deadlines in connection with confirmation of the Plan (the “Confirmation Proceedings” and, together with the Disclosure Statement Proceedings, the “Proceedings”) with their various creditor constituencies, including those constituencies that filed objections and responses in connection with the motion for the Disclosure Statement Scheduling Order.

Based on these discussions, the Debtors developed a further revised schedule governing the Proceedings that (a) scheduled the Disclosure Statement Proceedings for August 18, 2015 (and revised certain interim dates governing discovery protocols related to the Disclosure Statement) and (b) scheduled the Confirmation Proceedings to commence on (x) January 20, 2016 or (y) if the Plan proposed to pay all Allowed Claims of EFIH and EFH creditors in full, and is agreed to by the TCEH First Lien Ad Hoc Group, the TCEH Second Lien Indenture Trustee, the TCEH Committee, the indenture trustee for the TCEH unsecured notes, and the TCEH Unsecured Ad Hoc Group, October 5, 2015.

The Debtors presented the revised schedule governing the Proceedings at the June 25, 2015 scheduling conference. On July 2, 2015, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Order (A) Scheduling Certain Hearing Dates and Deadlines, (B) Establishing Certain Protocols in Connection with the Confirmation of the Debtors’ Plan of Reorganization, and (C) Revising Certain Dates in the Disclosure Statement Scheduling Order (the “Confirmation Scheduling Order”) [D.I. 4916], attached to this Disclosure Statement as Exhibit J.20

At the Confirmation Hearing, the Bankruptcy Court will determine whether the Plan should be confirmed in light of both the affirmative requirements of the Bankruptcy Code and any objections that are timely filed. For a more detailed discussion of the Confirmation Hearing, see Section VI of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Confirmation of the Plan,” which begins on page 140.

 

20  Pursuant to the Notice Extending Mediation [D.I. 5034], the Mediator has determined, and the Mediation Parties have agreed, to extend Mediation to October 31, 2015, unless otherwise extended or terminated pursuant to the Disclosure Statement Scheduling Order.

 

25


Following Confirmation, subject to the conditions precedent in Article IX of the Plan, the Plan will be consummated on the Effective Date. Among other things, on the Effective Date, certain release, injunction, exculpation, and discharge provisions set forth in Article VIII of the Plan will become effective. As such, it is important to read the provisions contained in Article VIII of the Plan very carefully so that you understand how Confirmation and Consummation—which effectuates such provisions—will affect you and any Claim or Interest you may hold against the Debtors so that you cast your vote accordingly. The releases are described in Section V.G of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Effect of Confirmation,” which begins on page 119.

 

  2. Negotiations Related to Confirmation Proceedings.

In connection with the Confirmation Scheduling Order, the Debtors entered into a stipulation with the TCEH Unsecured Ad Hoc Group, Law Debenture Trust Company of New York, as indenture trustee for the TCEH Unsecured Notes, the TCEH Second Lien Indenture Trustee, and the TCEH Committee (the “TCEH Scheduling Stipulation”).

The TCEH Scheduling Stipulation, approved on July 2, 2015 [D.I. 4918] includes the following provisions: (a) the parties to the TCEH Scheduling Stipulation will consent to the relief provided in the Confirmation Scheduling Order; (b) the Confirmation Proceedings shall commence on October 5, 2015 and terminate on October 8, 2015 if the Plan pays allowed claims of creditors of EFH Corp. and the EFIH Debtors in full in cash and otherwise has the support of the parties to the TCEH Scheduling Stipulation; (c) assuming the Debtors’ Exclusive Periods are not terminated by December 29, 2015 by Order of the Court, the parties to the TCEH Scheduling Stipulation agree not to file a chapter 11 plan of reorganization or disclosure statement with respect to any Debtor (or cause such a filing) until the Court issues a final ruling on the Plan; and (d) the Debtors will provide three days’ notice of the filing of the next version of the Plan and the Disclosure Statement and the parties to the TCEH Scheduling Stipulation will waive the 10-day notice requirement set forth in the Case Matters Protocol with respect to filings of additional versions of the Plan and the Disclosure Statement, with the understanding that the Debtors will provide reasonable prior notice of such filings. For the avoidance of doubt, the versions of the Plan and Disclosure Statement filed on July 23, 2015 were subject to the three-day notice period described in sub-clause (d) above. In connection with the Plan Support Agreement, the parties to the Plan Support Agreement have agreed to enter into an amendment to the TCEH Scheduling Stipulation that contains a modified confirmation schedule for the Plan and, in the event of a Plan Support termination event, requires the parties to the Plan Support Agreement to support a 90-day confirmation schedule for any other plan negotiations, including an Alternative Plan (as defined in the Plan Support Agreement)

 

J. The Plan Supplement.

The Debtors will file certain documents that provide more details about implementation of the Plan in the Plan Supplement, which will be filed with the Bankruptcy Court no later than fourteen days before the Confirmation Hearing (or such later date as may be approved by the Bankruptcy Court). The Debtors will serve a notice that will inform all parties that the Plan Supplement was filed, list the information included therein, and explain how copies of the Plan Supplement may be obtained. Holders of Claims and Interests that are eligible to vote to accept or reject the Plan shall not be entitled to change their vote based on the contents of the Plan Supplement. The Plan Supplement will include:

 

    the New Organizational Documents;

 

    the Rejected Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease List;

 

    the Assumed Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease List (which shall include the Employment Agreements and provide that such Employment Agreements are assigned to Reorganized TCEH on the Effective Date);

 

    a list of retained Causes of Action;

 

26


    the Reorganized Debtor Management Incentive Plan;

 

    the New Employee Agreements/Arrangements;

 

    the Reorganized TCEH Registration Rights Agreement;

 

    the identity of the members of the New Boards and management for the Reorganized Debtors;

 

    the New Reorganized TCEH Debt Documents;

 

    the New Reorganized EFIH Debt Documents;

 

    the Merger and Purchase Agreement;

 

    the Backstop Agreement;

 

    the Tax Matters Agreement;

 

    the Transition Services Agreement;

 

    the Reorganized TCEH Shareholders’ Agreement;

 

    the New EFH Shareholders’ Agreement;

 

    the Equity Commitment Letter; and

 

    the Separation Agreement.

THE FOREGOING EXECUTIVE SUMMARY IS ONLY A GENERAL OVERVIEW OF THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT AND THE MATERIAL TERMS OF, AND TRANSACTIONS PROPOSED BY, THE PLAN, AND IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO, AND SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH, THE MORE DETAILED DISCUSSIONS APPEARING ELSEWHERE IN THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT AND THE EXHIBITS ATTACHED TO THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT, INCLUDING THE PLAN.

THE BOARD OF MANAGERS OR DIRECTORS (AS APPLICABLE) OR THE SOLE MEMBER OF EACH OF THE DEBTORS HAS UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THE PLAN AND DESCRIBED IN THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT AND RECOMMEND THAT ALL HOLDERS OF CLAIMS OR INTERESTS WHOSE VOTES ARE BEING SOLICITED SUBMIT BALLOTS TO ACCEPT THE PLAN.

  II. EFH’s Business Operations and Capital Structure

 

A. Overview of EFH’s Corporate Structure.

EFH Corp. is the parent company of each of the entities that compose EFH, including: (1) EFCH and its direct and indirect debtor and non-debtor subsidiaries (the “TCEH Entities”); (2) EFIH; (3) non-Debtor Oncor Holdings, which is 100% owned by EFIH, Oncor Electric, which is approximately 80% owned by Oncor Holdings, and certain subsidiaries and affiliates of Oncor Holdings and Oncor Electric;21 and (4) certain of EFH Corp.’s other direct and indirect Debtor and non-Debtor subsidiaries that are discussed below.

The following chart is a simplified representation of EFH’s corporate structure:22

 

LOGO

As of March 31, 2015, EFH Corp. reported total assets of approximately $26.5 billion in book value, approximately $19.4 billion of which is attributable to the TCEH Entities, and total liabilities of approximately $47.8 billion in book value, approximately $39.0 billion of which is attributable to the TCEH Entities.23 EFH Corp.’s assets and liabilities that are not attributable to the TCEH Entities are mostly attributable to EFIH’s indirect ownership of approximately 80% of Oncor Electric. EFH Corp.’s consolidated revenues for the year ending December 31, 2014 were approximately $6.0 billion, all of which were attributable to TCEH. EFH Corp.’s consolidated annual revenues for the year ending December 31, 2013 were approximately $5.9 billion.24

 

21  Texas Transmission Investment LLC (“Texas Transmission”) is an unaffiliated entity that owns approximately 19.75% of Oncor. It is owned by an investment group led by OMERS Administrative Corporation, acting through its infrastructure investment entity, Borealis Infrastructure Management Inc., and the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation, acting through its private equity and infrastructure arm, GIC Special Investments Pte. Ltd. The remaining ownership interests in Oncor are indirectly held by members of Oncor’s management.
22  A chart of the Debtors’ corporate and capital structure as of the Petition Date is included on Exhibit D.
23  Figures for the TCEH Entities are derived from EFCH’s public filings with the SEC, and are almost entirely attributable to TCEH and its Debtor and non-Debtor subsidiaries.
24  Oncor’s revenues are not included in EFH Corp.’s consolidated revenues because EFH Corp. accounts for its ownership of Oncor under the equity method of accounting.

 

28


B. EFH’s Business Operations.

 

  1. TCEH.

The TCEH Entities are composed of: (a) the TCEH Debtors, which include TCEH, TCEH’s direct parent company, EFCH, and most of TCEH’s direct and indirect subsidiaries, including the entities that compose Luminant’s electricity generation, mining, commodity risk management, hedging and trading activities, and wholesale operations, TXU Energy and the other entities that compose the Debtors’ retail operations, and TCEH Finance, Inc. (“TCEH Finance”); and (b) certain other entities that are not obligated on the TCEH Debtors’ prepetition funded indebtedness, and are not Debtors in the Chapter 11 Cases.25 The TCEH Entities’ business operations also depend on certain services that are provided by EFH Corporate Services Company (“EFH Corporate Services”), a subsidiary of EFH Corp., which acts as a shared services provider for EFH Corp. and its subsidiaries, including for TCEH and its businesses, Luminant and TXU Energy, which are the predominant users and beneficiaries of the services.

 

  (a) Luminant.

Luminant is the largest electricity generator and lignite coal miner in Texas. Luminant also operates a wholesale electricity sales, commodity risk management, hedging and trading activities organization. As of the December 31, 2014, Luminant employed approximately 4,100 individuals.

 

  (i) Generation Activities.

Luminant’s total electricity generation of 13,772 MW is composed of nuclear, lignite/coal, and natural gas-fueled units and accounts for approximately 15% of the electricity generation in ERCOT. Luminant’s generation capacity can be categorized as:

 

    Year-round or full operations: approximately 11,142 MW (32 units) of lignite/coal, nuclear, and gas-fueled units; and

 

    Seasonal operations: approximately 2,630 MW (4 units) of lignite/coal-fueled units that Luminant has previously sought, and for certain units received, permission to operate only during high-demand periods (e.g., during the peak demand of summer).

 

25  Specifically, these entities are: (a) non-Debtor Greenway Development Holding Company LLC, which is the managing partner of non-Debtor joint venture Collin G/G&B LLC; (b) non-Debtors Nuclear Energy Future Holdings LLC and Nuclear Energy Future Holdings II LLC, which directly or indirectly own non-Debtor Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Company LLC (on November 20, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the Debtors to enter into agreements providing for the withdrawal of the participation of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. and its affiliates from the Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Company LLC and to pay the costs associated with preserving certain assets held by the entity — for further discussion, see Section IV.P.3 of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Comanche Peak Joint Venture Agreements Amendment Motion,” which begins on page 77); and (c) Debtor TXU Energy Receivables Company LLC, an entity associated with a terminated accounts receivable program.

 

29


In 2014, Luminant generated approximately 68,330 GWh gigawatt hours (“GWh”), compared to the ERCOT market’s total electricity consumption of approximately 340,000 GWh. As demonstrated by the chart below, Luminant was the 14th largest generator of electricity in the United States in 2014:

 

LOGO

 

  (A) Nuclear Generation.

Luminant’s nuclear generation operations consist of two units at its Comanche Peak location, with total nameplate capacity of 2,300 MW. The units generally run at full capacity except during nuclear fuel assembly replacement outages scheduled approximately every 18 months. Comanche Peak units 1 and 2 began commercial operation in 1990 and 1993, respectively; each unit has a permit allowing for 40 years of operations, and Luminant anticipates that it will obtain a permit to extend operation of the units for an additional 20 years. The Comanche Peak units operated at approximately 92.5%, 101.7% and 98.5% of nameplate generation capacity in 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively, and have consistently ranked in the top decile of nuclear plants in the U.S. for production reliability and cost performance. Additionally, Comanche Peak operations have consistently demonstrated high performance as evaluated across the industry by the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations. Nuclear-fueled generation accounted for 17% of Luminant’s nameplate capacity and 27% of Luminant’s electricity generation in 2014.

 

  (B) Lignite/Coal-Fueled Generation.

Luminant’s lignite/coal-fueled generation operations include twelve units at five plant sites, with total nameplate capacity of 8,017 MW. These include:

 

    two units at Big Brown with total nameplate capacity of 1,150 MW;

 

    three units at Monticello with total nameplate capacity of 1,880 MW;

 

    three units at Martin Lake with total nameplate capacity of 2,250 MW;

 

    two units at Oak Grove with total nameplate capacity of 1,600 MW; and

 

    two units at Sandow with total nameplate capacity of 1,137 MW.

Luminant’s lignite/coal units are generally available for full operations throughout the year except when they are out of service for either a scheduled or unscheduled maintenance outage. As discussed in more detail below,

 

30


however, in recent years, Luminant has reduced electricity generation from selected lignite/coal units during times when the demand for electricity and wholesale electricity prices in the ERCOT market are comparatively low. These reductions are achieved through short-term reductions of operations in response to low wholesale electricity prices or longer-term seasonal shutdowns in response to sustained periods of relatively low wholesale electricity prices and demand for electricity. Indeed, two units at Monticello and two units at Martin Lake are currently subject to seasonal operations.

Luminant’s lignite/coal-fueled units operated at 69.6%, 74.1%, and 70.0% of nameplate generation capacity for the years 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. In 2011 and 2010, the units performed at the top decile for U.S. coal-fueled generation facilities. Reduced generation in 2012 through 2014 was largely due to low wholesale electricity prices in the ERCOT market. Coal/lignite-fueled generation accounted for 58% of Luminant’s nameplate capacity and 72% of Luminant’s electricity generation in 2014.

 

  (C) Natural Gas-Fueled Generation.

Luminant’s natural gas-fueled generation operations consist of 22 units at seven plant sites with 3,455 MW of nameplate capacity, including:

 

    two steam units at Graham with total nameplate capacity of 630 MW;

 

    two steam units at Lake Hubbard with total nameplate capacity of 921 MW;

 

    two steam units at Stryker Creek with total nameplate capacity of 675 MW;

 

    one steam unit at Trinidad with total nameplate capacity of 240 MW;

 

    four combustion turbines at DeCordova with total nameplate capacity of 260 MW;

 

    six combustion turbines at Morgan Creek with total nameplate capacity of 390 MW; and

 

    five combustion turbines at Permian Basin with total nameplate capacity of 325 MW.

Luminant’s natural gas-fueled units are primarily used when electricity demand is highest (i.e., they are considered “peaking” units because they are generally used during peak demand periods) or to support system reliability at times of low “reserve margins” (i.e., times when the system’s overall generation capacity needs to be increased to maintain a certain target “cushion” over expected demand for electricity). Natural gas-fueled generation accounted for approximately 25% of Luminant’s nameplate capacity and 1% of Luminant’s electricity generation in 2014.

Luminant also manages approximately 11.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas storage capacity, primarily to assist in fueling its natural gas-fueled units, and engages in various activities related to natural gas including direct purchases, transportation agreements, storage leases, and commercial retail sales.

Luminant filed for and received air permits from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (the “TCEQ”) to build two natural gas combustion turbine generation units totaling 420 MW to 460 MW at each of Luminant’s existing DeCordova, Tradinghouse and Lake Creek generation facilities. In 2014 and 2015, Luminant filed air permit applications with the TCEQ to build two natural gas combustion turbine generation units totaling 420 MW to 460 MW at each of its existing Valley and Permian Basin generation facilities. In 2014 and 2015, Luminant filed air permit applications with the TCEQ to build a combined cycle natural gas generation unit totaling 730 MW to 810 MW at each of its existing Eagle Mountain and DeCordova generation facilities. In 2015, Luminant filed air permit applications with the TCEQ to build two combined cycle natural gas generation units totaling 1,460 MW to 1,620 MW at its existing Tradinghouse generation facility. The proposed combined cycle natural gas generation units would be alternatives to the natural gas combustion turbine generation units at Luminant’s DeCordova and Tradinghouse generation facilities. Luminant believes current market conditions, primarily driven by low wholesale electricity prices, do not provide adequate economic returns to warrant completion of these projects at this time.

 

31


  (ii) Mining Operations.

Luminant currently owns twelve surface lignite coal mines in Texas, eight of which are in active operation. Luminant is the largest coal miner in Texas and the ninth-largest coal miner in the United States. Luminant’s mining activity supports generation at its lignite/coal units. In 2014, Luminant recovered approximately 30 million tons of lignite to fuel its generation plants, and approximately 56% of the fuel used at the Big Brown, Monticello and Martin Lake generation facilities and 73% of the fuel used at all of Luminant’s lignite/coal fueled generation facilities was supplied from surface-minable lignite reserves located adjacent to Luminant’s plants.

As of December 31, 2014, Luminant owned or had under lease an estimated 730 million tons of lignite reserves supporting plant sites, including an undivided interest in approximately 170 million tons of lignite reserves that provide fuel for the Sandow facility, and also owned or had under lease approximately 85 million tons of reserves not currently dedicated to existing plant sites. Luminant meets its fuel requirements at its Big Brown, Monticello, and Martin Lake plants by blending lignite with coal purchased from third-party suppliers in the Powder River Basin in Wyoming. The coal is transported from the Powder River Basin to Luminant’s plants by railcar pursuant to various contracts. As a result of projected mining development costs, current economic forecasts and regulatory uncertainty, in 2014, Luminant decided to transition the fuel plans at its Big Brown and Monticello generation facilities to be fully fueled with coal from the Powder River Basin. As a result, Luminant plans to discontinue lignite mining operations at these sites once mining and reclamation of current mine sites is complete. Lignite mining and the majority of reclamation activities at these facilities is expected to be completed by the end of 2020 unless economic forecasts and increased regulatory certainty justify additional mine development.

Luminant Mining Company LLC (“Luminant Mining”), a Debtor entity, holds all of Luminant’s mining permits and contracts with several of the TCEH Debtors to conduct Luminant’s mining operations. Luminant Mining is subject to regulatory oversight by the Railroad Commission of Texas (the “RCT”), which regulates, among other things, mining permits and land reclamation requirements related to mining sites. As part of the land reclamation requirements, Luminant Mining is required to satisfy certain bonding requirements. Before the Petition Date, Luminant Mining “self-bonded” these obligations with the support of a guarantee from another Debtor entity, Luminant Generation Company LLC (“Luminant Generation”). Due to Luminant Generation’s status as a chapter 11 Debtor after the Petition Date, Luminant Mining was required to substitute its bond coverage pursuant to RCT regulations.

On June 17, 2014, the RCT determined that Luminant Mining could satisfy these bonding obligations by providing a collateral bond in the form of a super-priority “carve-out” (the “RCT Carve Out”) from the super-priority liens under the TCEH DIP Facility. Under the terms of the RCT Carve Out, in the event reclamation obligations are not satisfied, the RCT will be paid on account of such obligations before the Holders of Claims under the TCEH DIP Facility lenders and the TCEH Debtors’ prepetition secured creditors recover on their claims. Luminant Mining currently satisfies its bonding obligations through the RCT Carve Out. The RCT’s acceptance of the RCT Carve Out became final on July 11, 2014, following expiration of the period to appeal the RCT’s determination.

 

  (iii) Wholesale Electricity Sales, Commodity Risk Management, and Hedging and Trading Activities.

Luminant’s generation units provide electricity through which Luminant’s wholesale business supplies TXU Energy and other third-party wholesale and retail counterparties with electricity and electricity-related services. Luminant enters into both short-term and long-term electricity contracts, enabling it to manage variations in electricity generation, price risk associated with generation output and changing consumer demand, as well as to meet the needs of large wholesale customers. Luminant also purchases electricity, including electricity generated from renewable energy resources such as wind and solar, from third-parties. Additionally, Luminant manages physical fuel purchase agreements and financial hedges with a variety of counterparties to manage key commodity costs and delivery risks that affect Luminant’s electricity generation and mining operations.

Wholesale electricity prices in the ERCOT market vary and are based on electricity supply and demand, fuel prices, variable costs for electricity generation assets, and other market factors. As discussed in greater detail below, wholesale electricity prices in the ERCOT market are closely tied to the price of natural gas. Additionally, weather can significantly influence short-term wholesale electricity prices, particularly where there are weather extremes in Texas

and throughout the country of the kind that occurred in the winter of 2013 and 2014 or the summer of 2011. Those weather extremes can cause increases in natural gas prices or shortages in electricity generation capacity and increased demand for electricity. Luminant’s wholesale operations manage these risks, and others, through optimizing the dispatch of the electricity generation fleet, physical purchases and sales of electricity and fuel commodities, as well as the use of financial and bilateral contracts and other hedging activities.

Luminant’s commodity risk management and hedging and trading activities hedge the volume and price risk associated with Luminant’s generation fleet and TXU Energy’s retail needs. These activities require significant collateral support and account for a significant portion of funds the TCEH Debtors were authorized to borrow under the TCEH DIP Facility.26

 

  (b) TXU Energy.

TXU Energy serves approximately 1.7 million residential and commercial retail electricity consumers in Texas.27 Approximately 67% of TXU Energy’s retail revenues in 2014 represented sales to residential customers, with the remaining amount attributable to commercial and industrial business customers. TXU Energy has a very strong market position in the ERCOT market, serving approximately 25% of the residential customers and 19% of the business customers in the areas of ERCOT open to competition. Indeed, TXU Energy is the single largest certificated REP by customer count in Texas. In general, Luminant procures or supplies 100% of TXU Energy’s electricity requirements. As of the Petition Date, TXU Energy employed approximately 1,000 individuals in its marketing, customer operations, and support organizations.

Texas is one of the fastest growing states in the United States with a diverse economy. As a result, competition for retail electricity customers is robust. The number of certified REPs has grown from approximately 40 in 2002, the first year of retail electricity competition in Texas, to over 100 today. Based on data published by the PUCT, as of June 30, 2014, approximately 63% of residential customers and 70% of small commercial customers in competitive areas of the ERCOT market are served by REPs that are not associated with the “incumbent” REP that was the traditional provider in their service area before deregulation. Moreover, approximately 90% of residential customers and 91% of small commercial load customers have chosen an electricity provider at least once since the ERCOT retail market deregulation process began in Texas in 2002.28 As a result, TXU Energy, like other REPs formerly affiliated with the regulated, monopoly electricity utilities (such as EFH’s predecessor, TXU Corp.) that existed before deregulation of Texas’s electricity market in 2002, has experienced customer attrition since the Texas electricity market was opened to competition. Indeed, that significant level of competition is one of the reasons that TXU Energy believes it was essential to receive the authority to promptly assume its retail electricity contracts.

 

26  Luminant’s hedging and trading activities, and the required collateral support obligations, are discussed in more detail in the Motion of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al. For Entry of Interim and Final Orders Authorizing the Debtors to (A) Continue Performing Under Prepetition Hedging and Trading Arrangements, (B) Pledge Collateral and Honor Obligations Thereunder, and (C) Enter Into and Perform Under Trading Continuation Agreements and New Postpetition Hedging and Trading Arrangements [D.I. 41] (the “Hedging and Trading Arrangements Motion”) (see Section IV.C.1(f) of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Hedging and Trading Arrangements,” which begins on page 68). The Hedging and Trading Arrangements Motion was granted on an interim basis on May 2, 2014 [D.I. 315], and on a final basis with respect to non-proprietary trading on June 6, 2014 [D.I. 860]. The Bankruptcy Court entered an interim order with respect to proprietary trading on June 6, 2014 [D.I. 861], and a final order on June 30, 2014 [D.I. 1309]. On November 6, 2014, the Debtors filed the Motion of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al., Clarifying Certain Relief Granted in the Non-Proprietary Trading Order and Seeking Entry of an Order Authorizing Certain Debtors to Enter Into Non-Proprietary Hedging and Trading Arrangements with a Tenor Beyond December 31, 2015 and Subject to Hedge and Tenor Limitations Consistent with Historical Practice [D.I. 2710]. This motion sought approval to enter into non-proprietary Hedging and Trading Arrangements with an arrangement length extending beyond December 31, 2015. On November 20, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court granted the relief requested [D.I. 2832].

The Debtors sought this authority pursuant to the Motion of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al., for Entry of (A) An Order Authorizing the Debtors to (I) Maintain and Administer Customer Programs and Customer Agreements, (II) Honor Prepetition Obligations Related Thereto, (III) Pay Certain Expenses on Behalf of Certain Organizations, (IV) Fix the Deadline to File Proofs of Claim for Certain Customer Claims, and (V) Establish Procedures for Notifying Customers of Commencement of the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases, Assumption of Customer Agreement, and the Bar Date for Customer Claims and (B) An Order Authorizing Certain of the Debtors to Assume the Customer Agreements [D.I. 31] (the “Customer Programs Motion”) (see Section IV.C.1(e) of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Customer Programs,” which begins on page 67). On June 4, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court entered a final order granting the relief requested under the Customer Programs Motion [D.I. 785].

Despite customer attrition due to the opening of the competitive retail electricity market in 2002, TXU Energy has managed to maintain a greater percentage of its residential customer market share within its former utility service territory than has any other affiliated REP in the ERCOT market. Additionally, TXU Energy has managed an excellent track record of customer satisfaction. Importantly, TXU Energy’s key customer metrics including bad debt and PUCT complaints have significantly improved since the 2007 Acquisition, performing at or better than industry-leading levels.

 

  2. EFH Corp. and Certain EFH Corp. Subsidiaries.

In addition to the TCEH Entities, EFIH, Oncor Holdings, Oncor Electric, and Oncor Electric’s affiliates and subsidiaries, EFH is composed of: (a) EFH Corp.; (b) EFH Corporate Services; (c) EFH Properties Company; and (d) various other direct and indirect subsidiaries of EFH Corp. that are legacy entities without active business operations. These entities are discussed below.

 

  (a) EFH Corp.

EFH Corp. is the ultimate parent holding company of each of the entities composing EFH. Its principal assets are its indirect approximately 80% ownership of Oncor Electric (through its direct ownership of EFIH) and its indirect ownership of the TCEH Entities (through its direct ownership of EFCH). EFH Corp. also directly or indirectly owns a number of other subsidiaries that are discussed below.

 

  (b) EFH Corporate Services.

EFH Corporate Services provides a host of vital shared services to the TCEH Entities (i.e., Luminant and TXU Energy), EFH Corp., EFIH, and Oncor Electric. EFH Corporate Services employs approximately 450 individuals—including the majority of the Debtors’ senior executives. These shared services are integral to EFH Corp. and its subsidiaries’ business operations, and also generate significant cost savings.

EFH Corporate Services provides the shared services to the TCEH Entities and EFIH under separate shared services agreements (the “Shared Services Agreements”), and to EFH Corp. and certain of EFH Corp.’s other direct and indirect subsidiaries through a series of operating procedures and the cash management system administered by EFH Corporate Services.29 Services are provided to Oncor Electric based on historical practice. All shared services are billed at cost.

The shared services include, among other things, certain:

 

    legal functions;

 

    human resources functions;

 

    treasury functions;

 

    enterprise and market risk management functions;

 

29  EFH’s cash management system, the Shared Services Agreements, and intercompany payments in general are discussed in more detail in Section IV.C.1(b), entitled “Cash Management,” which begins on page 55.

 

34


    controller functions;

 

    federal, state, and local tax services;

 

    financial planning functions;

 

    strategy and business development functions;

 

    information technology and infrastructure services;

 

    external affairs, including political and regulatory advocacy;

 

    investor and media relations;

 

    corporate secretarial, security, compliance, and ethics issues;

 

    internal auditing and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance;

 

    supply chain services;

 

    business services administration; and

 

    facility design and construction and real estate management.

As described in the Cash Management Motion, the treasury function at EFH Corporate Services provides certain cash management services to the Debtors (and certain of their non-Debtor, non-Oncor Electric affiliates). Specifically, EFH Corporate Services issues checks and automated clearing house payments to third parties for goods and services received by the Debtors. The applicable Debtors then reimburse EFH Corporate Services for amounts paid.

As part of the Restructuring, in order for TCEH to perform the functions currently being performed by EFH Corporate Services, either the equity of EFH Corporate Services or certain assets and liabilities of EFH Corporate Services will be transferred to Reorganized TCEH, as discussed above in Section I.C.2 of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Plan Structure,” which begins on page 8.

 

  (c) EFH Properties Company.

Non-Debtor EFH Properties Company, a direct subsidiary of EFH Corp., is the lessee of record with respect to certain of EFH’s real property leases, including the lease of EFH Corp.’s headquarters, which houses approximately 370 EFH Corporate Services and EFH Corp. employees and executives and approximately 400 of Luminant’s employees.30 Additionally, EFH Properties Company administers certain subleases with respect to EFH’s real property leases, primarily with respect to the headquarters lease, and operates certain parking facilities. The Debtors were granted the authority to continue performing under and honoring their obligations related the Intercompany Transactions and Intercompany Claims with respect to the subleases pursuant to the order approving the Cash Management Motion.

 

  (d) Other Direct and Indirect Subsidiaries of EFH Corp.

EFH Corp. also is the parent of several entities with de minimis assets,31 including (i) three Debtor entities that hold or once held international assets that have either been liquidated or otherwise disposed of or are currently in

 

30  Nothing in this Disclosure Statement should be interpreted as foreclosing the possibility that EFH Properties Company will become a Debtor in the Chapter 11 Cases.
31 

Excluding intercompany receivables.

 

35


administration and/or liquidation cases initiated before the 2007 Acquisition; (ii) Debtor entities associated with a natural gas distribution business that was sold in 2004, a related non-Debtor captive insurance company, a related non-Debtor United Kingdom entity in liquidation, and a related Debtor Canadian entity that is associated with certain de minimis pension obligations; and (iii) other entities that hold miscellaneous assets,32 including a small number of patents, trade names, IT assets, land, and other de minimis assets.

 

  3. EFIH.

EFIH is a holding company and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of EFH Corp. Its primary asset is its 100% ownership of Oncor Holdings, which, in turn, owns approximately 80% of Oncor Electric. Oncor Electric has made dividend distributions to EFIH (through Oncor Holdings) totaling approximately $202 million, $213 million, $147 million, and $116 million in 2014, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.33 EFIH has no active business operations.

 

  4. Oncor Electric.

 

  (a) Overview of Oncor Electric’s Business Operations.

Oncor Electric provides transmission and distribution services in Texas. Unlike Luminant and TXU Energy, whose rates are subject to market competition, Oncor Electric’s rates are fully regulated and are subject to detailed rate-setting proceedings before the PUCT. Oncor Electric provides these services to REPs, including TXU Energy, which sell electricity to residential and business customers, and electricity distribution companies, cooperatives, and municipalities. TXU Energy is Oncor Electric’s largest customer and accounts for a large portion of Oncor Electric’s annual operating revenues: approximately 25%, 27%, 29%, 33%, and 36% in 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively.34 Oncor Electric operates the largest transmission and distribution system in Texas: it covers more than 91 counties and over 400 incorporated municipalities in Texas, delivers electricity to more than 3.3 million homes and businesses, and operates more than 121,000 miles of transmission and distribution lines.

Pursuant to its organizational documents and applicable PUCT orders and rules, Oncor Electric is restricted from making distributions under certain conditions. Oncor Electric’s dividend distributions are limited by its regulatory capital structure, which is required to be at or below the assumed debt-to-equity ratio established periodically by the PUCT for ratemaking purposes. That ratio is currently set at 60% debt to 40% equity. Additionally, Oncor Electric’s independent directors, acting by majority vote, and, during certain periods, any director designated by Oncor Electric’s minority investor, may prevent dividend distributions from Oncor Electric if they determine that it is in the best interests of Oncor Electric to retain such amounts to meet expected future cash requirements.

 

  (b) The Ring-Fencing Measures.

As part of the 2007 Acquisition, Oncor Electric implemented certain structural and operational “ring-fencing” measures, including certain measures required by the PUCT, to enhance Oncor Electric’s credit quality. The ring-fence has a number of components. Most importantly, Oncor Electric’s independence is ensured by a requirement that its board be composed of a majority of directors that are independent from EFH Corp., EFIH, and TCEH (and their subsidiaries excluding Oncor Holdings and its direct and indirect subsidiaries). Oncor Electric also has management and employees separate from EFH’s other businesses. Two of Oncor Electric’s directors are appointed by EFIH.

 

32  Each of these entities other than Basic Resources, Inc., which owns certain comparatively minor patents and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of non-Debtor EFH Properties Company, is a Debtor. Nothing in this Disclosure Statement should be interpreted as foreclosing the possibility that Basic Resources, Inc., will become a Debtor in the Chapter 11 Cases.
33  Does not include amounts in 2012 and 2013 distributed by Oncor to Oncor Holdings that Oncor Holdings used to pay its liability to EFH Corp. under the Oncor TSA.
34  These figures also include a relatively small amount attributable to TCEH’s other REPs.

 

36


The ring-fence also provides that Oncor Electric is prohibited from securing any indebtedness of EFH Corp. or its other non-Oncor Electric subsidiaries (including the Debtors).35 In addition to protecting Oncor Electric’s credit rating, the prohibition on cross-collateralization means that Oncor Electric is not subject to the operational and financial restraints in the various documents governing the Debtors’ prepetition funded indebtedness.

Finally, among other things, Oncor Electric’s books and records are maintained separately from those of EFH Corp. and its non-Oncor Electric subsidiaries, and Oncor Electric’s headquarters are physically separated from those of EFH Corp., EFIH, Luminant, and TXU Energy.

None of the Oncor Electric entities are Debtors in the Chapter 11 Cases.

 

  5. EFH’s Regulatory Environment.

EFH’s business operations are subject to significant regulation and oversight. Certain of those regulators were discussed above, and the regulators that are most material to EFH’s business operations are identified in the following chart:

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 959(b), the Debtors intend to comply with all applicable regulatory requirements, including all requirements related to or associated with safety, health, and environmental law compliance, during the Chapter 11 Cases. In addition, the Debtors will seek all necessary regulatory approvals, if any, from state and federal regulatory authorities, in connection with the Debtors’ business operations and the Plan. Moreover, to the extent the Debtors maintain insurance of their regulatory compliance obligations, the Debtors intend to continue such insurance in the ordinary course of business.

The Debtors intend to continue funding their obligations related to a nuclear decommissioning trust that will be used to fund the decommissioning of the Comanche Peak plant. Those funding obligations are satisfied by customer surcharges collected by REPs on behalf of Oncor Electric and indirectly remitted from Oncor Electric to TCEH.36 The Debtors also intend to remain in compliance with their mining land reclamation obligations, including their reclamation bonding requirements, as discussed above.

 

36  The Debtors were authorized to continue making these payments to the nuclear decommissioning trust pursuant to the Taxes Order, as discussed below in Section IV.C.1(d) of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Taxes and Fees,” which begins on page 74.

C. EFH’s Capital Structure.

 

  1. TCEH Debtors.

 

  (a) Overview.

The TCEH Debtors’ funded prepetition debt obligations as of the Petition Date totaled approximately $32.068 billion (excluding approximately $1.235 billion of obligations under certain first lien hedging arrangements, which are discussed in more detail below, and certain other obligations such as capital leases). That amount included approximately $24.385 billion of first lien debt (excluding hedging arrangements), approximately $1.571 billion of second lien debt, and approximately $6.112 billion of unsecured debt,37 as summarized in the following table:

In addition to the amounts described above, EFCH is an unsecured guarantor of approximately $60 million of unsecured notes issued by EFH Corp. that are discussed in more detail below. Additionally, certain of the TCEH Debtors also have additional obligations not reflected in the above table, which are discussed below.

 

  (b) TCEH First Lien Debt.

As of the Petition Date, TCEH’s first lien debt was composed of: (i) approximately $22.635 billion in outstanding principal amount under TCEH’s first lien credit agreement (the “TCEH Credit Agreement”); (ii) approximately $1.750 billion issued and outstanding TCEH 11.50% senior secured notes (the “TCEH First Lien Notes”); and (iii) approximately $1.235 billion in obligations related to TCEH’s interest rate swaps that are secured on a first lien basis (the “TCEH First Lien Interest Rate Swaps”) and natural gas commodity hedges that are secured on a first lien basis (the “TCEH First Lien Commodity Hedges” and, collectively with the TCEH Credit Agreement, the TCEH First Lien Notes, and the TCEH First Lien Interest Rate Swaps, the “TCEH First Lien Debt,” and Claims under the TCEH First Lien Debt, the “TCEH First Lien Claims”). TCEH First Lien Claims are classified as Class C3 TCEH First Lien Secured Claims to the extent such Claims are Secured in accordance with section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code. The remaining amount of any such TCEH First Lien Claims shall be a classified with the TCEH Unsecured Debt Claims.

As discussed more fully in Section IV.J of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “

TCEH First Lien Investigation,” which begins on page 79, pursuant to the TCEH Cash Collateral Order, the Debtors stipulated that the TCEH First Lien Secured Claims are valid and perfected first lien secured claims. The TCEH Committee, the EFH Committee, and the TCEH Unsecured Ad Hoc Group, however, each filed motions seeking standing to prosecute and investigate the TCEH First Lien Secured Claims. The Settlement Agreement provides for a settlement by and among the parties to the Settlement Agreement, of, among other things, all Claims and Causes of Action against Holders of TCEH First Lien Secured Claims regarding the validity of the obligations and liens related to the TCEH First Lien Debt.

 

37  Total amounts exclude unamortized premiums, set off rights, accrued but unpaid interest, and fair value discounts, and include amounts held by EFH Corp. or EFIH. Amounts held by EFH Corp. or EFIH are noted herein. The unsecured debt amount also includes approximately $19 million of Pollution Control Revenue Bonds that were supported by letters of credit issued under the TCEH Credit Agreement. As of the date hereof, there are no Pollution Control Revenue bonds supported by outstanding letters of credit under the TCEH Credit Agreement.
38  Amounts due under canceled TCEH First Lien Interest Rate Swaps and TCEH First Lien Commodity Hedges were determined after such swaps and hedges were canceled following the Petition Date.

 

39


  (i) TCEH Credit Agreement.

Pursuant to the TCEH Credit Agreement, dated as of October 10, 2007 (as amended, modified, or supplemented and in effect immediately prior to the Petition Date), among TCEH, as borrower, EFCH and the other TCEH Debtors, as guarantors, Wilmington Trust, N.A., as successor administrative and collateral agent (in such capacity, the “TCEH First Lien Credit Agreement Agent”), and the lenders that are parties thereto from time to time, the TCEH Debtors borrowed money from the lenders under term loan and revolving credit facilities. As of the Petition Date, a total of approximately $22.635 billion was outstanding in principal amount under the TCEH Credit Agreement, which included approximately $2.054 billion under a revolving credit facility, approximately $1.062 billion under deposit letter of credit term loan facilities, and approximately $19.519 billion of term loan facilities.

 

  (ii) TCEH First Lien Notes.

Pursuant to that certain indenture, dated April 19, 2011, for the 11.50% TCEH First Lien Notes originally due October 1, 2020, by and among TCEH and TCEH Finance, as issuers, the other TCEH Debtors, as guarantors, and Delaware Trust Company, as successor indenture trustee (in such capacity, the “TCEH First Lien Notes Trustee”) to Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (“BNY”), TCEH and TCEH Finance issued the TCEH First Lien Notes. Approximately $1.75 billion in principal amount of TCEH First Lien Notes were outstanding as of the Petition Date.

 

  (iii) TCEH First Lien Interest Rate Swaps and TCEH First Lien Commodity Hedges.

As of the Petition Date, the TCEH Debtors were party to (A) certain transactions with counterparties under the TCEH First Lien Commodity Hedges and (B) certain transactions under the TCEH First Lien Interest Rate Swaps used to hedge interest rate exposure on their variable rate debt. Certain holders of TCEH First Lien Interest Rate Swaps were also counterparties to TCEH First Lien Commodity Hedges.

As of the date hereof, all of the counterparties to the TCEH First Lien Interest Rate Swaps have exercised their termination rights under the “safe harbor” provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. The TCEH Debtors estimate that their total net liability under canceled TCEH First Lien Interest Rate Swaps and TCEH First Lien Commodity Hedges is approximately $1.235 billion, which amount varies by less than 1.4% from the termination payments calculated by all of the terminating counterparties. The Claims against the TCEH Debtors under the TCEH First Lien Interest Rate Swaps and the TCEH First Lien Commodity Hedges (if any) have not been finalized as of the date hereof.

 

  (iv) Collateral Securing the TCEH First Lien Debt.

The TCEH First Lien Debt is secured by first priority liens on the collateral as defined in the TCEH Credit Agreement and the TCEH First Lien Intercreditor Agreement (defined below), including substantially all of the assets of TCEH, and is guaranteed on a secured basis by a first priority lien on EFCH’s equity interests in TCEH and by a first priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the other TCEH Debtors. The collateral documents governing the TCEH First Lien Debt provide that liens do not attach to certain limited categories of assets as provided in the governing collateral documents.

 

  (c) TCEH Second Lien Notes.

Pursuant to that certain indenture, dated as of October 6, 2010 (as amended, modified, or supplemented) for the 15% second lien notes (the “TCEH Second Lien Notes”) originally due April 1, 2021, by and among TCEH and TCEH Finance, as issuers, the other TCEH Debtors, as guarantors, and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB (a/k/a Christiana Trust) (“Wilmington Savings”), as successor indenture trustee to BNY (in such capacity, the “TCEH Second Lien Notes Trustee”), TCEH and TCEH Finance issued the TCEH Second Lien Notes. Approximately $1.571 billion in principal amount of TCEH Second Lien Notes were outstanding as of the Petition Date.

The TCEH Second Lien Notes are secured by a second priority lien on the collateral as set forth in that certain second lien security agreement, dated as of October 6, 2010, by and among the TCEH Debtors and BNY, as collateral agent, including substantially all of the assets of the TCEH Debtors other than (i) the same categories of assets excluded from the TCEH First Lien Debt and (ii) EFCH’s equity interests in TCEH and TCEH’s direct and indirect

 

40


equity interests in the TCEH Debtors if the pledge of such equity interests would require that separate financial statements be filed with the SEC for such subsidiaries. EFCH’s guarantee of the TCEH Second Lien Notes is unsecured.

In accordance with section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Valuation Analysis for Reorganized TCEH, attached to this Disclosure Statement as Exhibit G, demonstrates that the TCEH Second Lien Note Claims are unsecured. Accordingly, they are classified as Class C4 TCEH Unsecured Debt Claims.

 

  (d) TCEH Unsecured Funded Debt.

 

  (i) Senior Unsecured Notes.

Pursuant to that certain indenture, dated as of October 31, 2007 (as amended, modified, or supplemented) for two series of unsecured notes (the “TCEH Unsecured Notes”), by and among TCEH and TCEH Finance, as issuers, the other TCEH Debtors, as guarantors, and Law Debenture Trust Company of New York (“LDTC”), as successor indenture trustee to BNY (in such capacity, the “TCEH Unsecured Notes Trustee”), TCEH and TCEH Finance issued the TCEH Unsecured Notes. The following TCEH Unsecured Notes were issued and outstanding as of the Petition Date:

 

    approximately $3.488 billion principal amount of 10.25% notes originally due November 1, 2015;39 and

 

    approximately $1.749 billion principal amount of 10.50% notes originally due November 1, 2016.

The TCEH Unsecured Notes are classified as Class C4 TCEH Unsecured Debt Claims.

 

  (ii) Pollution Control Revenue Bonds.

TCEH has executed certain assumption agreements with respect to multiple series of pollution control revenue bonds (the “Pollution Control Revenue Bonds”) that are held by unaffiliated third-parties.40 As of the Petition Date, principal amounts outstanding under the Pollution Control Revenue Bonds totaled approximately $875 million in the aggregate, with interest rates generally ranging from 0.29%41 to 8.25%, and original maturities ranging from June 1, 2021, to March 1, 2041. As of the date hereof, there are no Pollution Control Revenue Bonds supported by outstanding letters of credit under the TCEH Credit Agreement. The remaining amounts outstanding under the Pollution Control Revenue Bonds are unsecured obligations of TCEH. TCEH’s obligations under these agreements are not secured or guaranteed by any of the other TCEH Debtors.

The Pollution Control Revenue Bonds are classified as Class C4 TCEH Unsecured Debt Claims, and such Claims can be asserted only against TCEH.

 

  (e) Other TCEH Indebtedness.

 

  (i) EFCH 2037 Notes.

Pursuant to that certain indenture, dated as of December 1, 1995, for two series of notes (the “EFCH 2037 Notes”) originally due January 30, 2037, by and among EFCH, as issuer, and BNY, as trustee (in such capacity, the “EFCH 2037 Notes Trustee”), EFCH issued the EFCH 2037 Notes. Approximately $9 million in principal amount of the EFCH 2037 Notes were outstanding as of the Petition Date, including approximately $1 million of floating-rate notes and $8 million of 8.175% notes. The EFCH 2037 Notes are not secured or guaranteed, and are subordinate to EFCH’s other prepetition funded indebtedness.

 

39  Including approximately $284 million held by EFH Corp. and approximately $79 million held by EFIH, which amounts are classified as Class C8 Non-TCEH Debtor Intercompany Claims.
40  Additional series of Pollution Control Revenue Bonds have been repurchased by TCEH and are held in a custody account.
41  As of May 7, 2014.

 

41


The EFCH 2037 Notes are classified as Class C6 General Unsecured Claims Against EFCH. The EFCH 2037 Note Claims are contractually subordinated to other Claims against EFCH, including EFCH’s guarantee of the TCEH First Lien Debt.

 

  (ii) Tex-La Obligations.

Based on the Debtors’ books and records, EFCH is the principal obligor of, and EFH Corp. guarantees, approximately $50 million of obligations related to outstanding principal balances on series of transactions by and among the predecessors of EFH Corp. and EFCH, on one hand, and the Tex-La Electric Cooperative of Texas, Inc. (“Tex-La”), on the other hand (the “Tex-La Obligations”).42 As of December 31, 2014, approximately $21 million and $29 million of the Tex-La Obligations due in 2019 and 2021, respectively, were outstanding. The Tex-La Obligations are secured by a 2.17% undivided ownership in Comanche Peak’s electricity generation and transmission assets and a 6.02% undivided ownership interest in the 51.5 mile 345 kV Comanche Peak-Cleburne-Everman transmission facility. The Tex-La Obligations relate to a settlement of litigation between the predecessor of EFCH and Tex-La in 1990.

The Tex-La Obligations are classified as Class C1 Other Secured Claims Against the TCEH Debtors.

 

  (iii) Leases.

The TCEH Debtors are parties to leases relating to, among other things: (A) rail cars; (B) office space; (C) equipment used in business operations, including mining equipment; and (D) leases of tracts of real property.

Certain of the TCEH Debtors’ rail car leases are structured as leveraged leases. Under these railcar leases, a trust owns railcars and leases the railcars to the TCEH Debtors. The trusts, in turn, have issued notes that are secured by, among other things, the railcars subject to the lease and the trust’s interest in the lease.

The TCEH Debtors’ obligations under their leases, including the railcar leveraged leases, are not currently classified. The leases will be subject to treatment under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

  (iv) Fixed Facility Bonds.

The TCEH Debtors’ combustion turbine electricity generation assets are structured as leveraged leases that are similar to the railcar leveraged leases discussed above. Importantly, however, the TCEH Debtors own the beneficial equity interests in the trusts that own these assets. Accordingly, the TCEH Debtors are the beneficial owners and the lessees of these assets. As of December 31, 2014, approximately $4 million and $25 million due 2015 and 2017, respectively, remained outstanding on the notes secured by the combustion turbines.

The TCEH Debtors’ obligations under these leases are not currently classified. The leases will be subject to treatment under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. The amount outstanding on the notes secured by the combustion turbines are discussed for illustrative purposes only.

 

  (v) Oak Grove Promissory Note.

In December 2010, Oak Grove Power Company LLC (“Oak Grove”), an indirect subsidiary of TCEH, purchased certain mineral rights located in Robertson County, Texas from North American Coal Royalty Company. Concurrent with the sale, Oak Grove executed the Oak Grove Promissory Note, which is non-interest bearing and secured by the purchased assets. Approximately $2 million was outstanding under the Oak Grove Promissory Note as of December 31, 2014.

 

42  Tex-La Electric Cooperative of Texas, Inc. filed three proofs of claim on the Claims Register [Proofs of Claim No. 7794, 7795, and 7796], asserting $60,810,367.58 and certain other unliquidated amounts against Energy Future Holdings Corp., Luminant Generation Company LLC, and Energy Future Competitive Holdings Company LLC on account of such principal balances and other asserted outstanding amounts. The Debtors and Tex-La Electric Cooperative of Texas, Inc. reserve all rights related to such filed Proofs of Claim.

 

42


The Oak Grove Promissory Note is classified as a Class C1 Other Secured Claim Against the TCEH Debtors.

 

  (f) Intercreditor Agreements.

 

  (i) TCEH First Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

The TCEH first lien intercreditor agreement (as amended, restated, modified, and supplemented from time to time, the “TCEH First Lien Intercreditor Agreement”) entered into by and among the TCEH Debtors, Wilmington Trust, N.A., as successor administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacity, the “TCEH Collateral Agent”), certain Holders of TCEH First Lien Claims, and other parties thereto from time to time, governs certain rights and remedies as between the various Holders of TCEH First Lien Claims, relative priority of claims, and certain rights and remedies in the Chapter 11 Cases.

 

  (ii) TCEH Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

The TCEH second lien intercreditor agreement (as amended, restated, modified, and supplemented from time to time, the “TCEH Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement”) entered into by and among the TCEH Debtors, the TCEH Collateral Agent, and the TCEH Second Lien Notes Trustee, governs certain rights and remedies as between the Holders of TCEH First Lien Claims, on one hand, and the Holders of TCEH Second Lien Claims, on the other hand, including certain rights and remedies in the Chapter 11 Cases. In particular, the TCEH Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement provides that if the collateral trustee, acting at a direction of a majority of the Holders of TCEH First Lien Claims pursuant to the TCEH First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, consents to the use of cash collateral and the acquisition of postpetition debtor-in-possession financing, the Holders of TCEH Second Lien Claims may not contest such relief. Pursuant to these provisions, the Holders of TCEH Second Lien Claims were deemed to consent to the TCEH DIP Facility and the TCEH Debtors’ use of cash collateral.

 

  (g) TCEH Unencumbered Assets.

Under the order approving the TCEH DIP Facility, the TCEH DIP Lenders have a lien on all unencumbered assets, excluding avoidance actions and the proceeds thereof, and their superpriority claims may be satisfied from any of the assets of the TCEH Debtors’ estates, including all unencumbered assets.

Under the Cash Collateral Order, the prepetition secured creditors have adequate protection liens on all assets, excluding unencumbered assets, and their superpriority claims may be satisfied from any of the assets of the TCEH Debtors’ estates, including all unencumbered assets, but excluding avoidance actions and the proceeds thereof.

 

43


The Debtors anticipate that the value attributable to the following assets will be available for distribution to holders of claims under the Plan (such assets, the “Unencumbered Assets”):

46  Following the recent transaction that occurred in May 2015, GDLLC, will receive 49% of future cash until GDLLC receives 2x its initial contribution, or $12,455,500. After that 2x threshold is reached, GDLLC will receive 43.1% of future cash generated by the JV.

51  The EFH Unexchanged Notes were previously guaranteed by EFCH and EFIH. EFIH’s guarantee was secured by a first priority lien on EFIH’s equity interest in Oncor. The guarantees and lien were eliminated in transactions under the Liability Management Program, which is discussed in Section III.G.1(a) of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “The Liability Management Program,” which begins on page 54. In those transactions, the EFH Unexchanged Notes were tendered in exchange for notes issued by EFIH. Consent was simultaneously solicited for the elimination of the guarantees and liens.
52  Additional details regarding the EFIH Second Lien Partial Repayment is below.

 

47


  (a) EFIH First Lien Notes.

Pursuant to that certain indenture, dated August 14, 2012 (as amended, modified, or supplemented, the “EFIH First Lien 2017 Note Indenture”), for the 6.875% EFIH First Lien Notes originally due August 15, 2017, by and among EFIH and EFIH Finance, as issuers, and Delaware Trust Company (the “EFIH First Lien Notes Trustee”) as successor to BNY as indenture trustee for the 6.875% EFIH First Lien Notes (in such capacity, the “EFIH First Lien 2017 Notes Trustee”), EFIH and EFIH Finance issued a series of EFIH First Lien Notes, of which approximately $503 million principal amount was outstanding as of the Petition Date.53

Pursuant to that certain indenture, dated August 17, 2010 (as amended, modified, or supplemented, the “EFIH First Lien 2020 Note Indenture” and, together with the EFIH First Lien 2017 Note Indenture, the “EFIH First Lien Indentures”), for the 10.00% EFIH First Lien Notes originally due December 1, 2020, by and among EFIH and EFIH Finance, as issuers, and CSC Trust Company of Delaware (“CSC”), as successor indenture trustee to BNY (in such capacity, the “EFIH First Lien 2020 Notes Trustee”), EFIH and EFIH Finance issued a series of EFIH First Lien Notes, of which approximately $3.482 billion principal amount was outstanding as of the Petition Date.54

The EFIH First Lien Notes were secured by first priority liens in the collateral as defined in the EFIH Collateral Trust Agreement (defined below) and certain related documentation, specifically, EFIH’s equity interest in Oncor Holdings. The EFIH First Lien Notes were not guaranteed.

On June 19, 2014, the EFIH First Lien Notes were paid in full (other than disputed amounts which may or may not be Allowed) (the “EFIH First Lien Repayment”) pursuant to the EFIH First Lien Settlement. The EFIH Debtors believe that the full amount of principal and accrued interest of all EFIH First Lien Notes that were not repaid in connection with the EFIH First Lien Settlement has been paid; the EFIH First Lien Notes Trustee and non-Settling Holders of EFIH First Lien Claims argue that various additional amounts, including asserted EFIH First Lien Makewhole Claims, “Additional Interest” pursuant to the registration rights agreement, and certain other fees and indemnification expenses are owed. The EFIH First Lien Repayment, the EFIH First Lien Settlement, and the asserted EFIH First Lien Makewhole Claims are discussed in more detail in Section IV of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Material Events in the Chapter 11 Cases,” which begins on page 65.

 

53  Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, EFIH agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to register notes under the Securities Act having substantially the same terms as the EFIH First Lien 2017 Notes as part of an offer to exchange freely tradable notes for the EFIH First Lien 2017 Notes by August 14, 2013. The exchange offer was not completed, and under the terms of the registration rights agreement, the interest rate on the EFIH First Lien 2017 Notes increased by 0.25% on August 15, 2013, and by another 0.25% on November 15, 2013. The Debtors have reserved all of their rights with respect to the registration rights agreement with respect to non-settling Holders of EFIH First Lien 2017 Notes, specifically with respect to whether the additional rates of interest are enforceable against the Debtors.
54  Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, EFIH agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to register notes under the Securities Act having substantially the same terms as the EFIH First Lien 2017 Notes as part of an offer to exchange freely tradable notes for approximately $1.302 billion of the EFIH First Lien 2020 Notes issued in January 2013. Under the terms of the agreement, the registration was supposed to occur by January 29, 2014. The exchange offer was not completed, and under the terms of the registration rights agreement, the interest rate on the applicable EFIH First Lien 2020 Notes increased by 0.25% on January 30, 2014, and by another 0.25% on April 30, 2014. The Debtors have reserved all of their rights with respect to the registration rights agreement with respect to non-settling Holders of EFIH First Lien 2020 Notes, specifically with respect to whether the additional rates of interest are enforceable against the Debtors.

 

48


Any Claims on account of the EFIH First Lien Notes that are allowed by Final Order will be classified as Class B3 EFIH First Lien Note Claims to the extent such Claims are Secured, and as Class B5 General Unsecured Claims Against the EFIH Debtors to the extent such Claims are Unsecured.

 

  (b) EFIH Second Lien Notes.

Pursuant to that certain indenture, dated April 25, 2011 (as amended, modified, or supplemented) for the EFIH Second Lien Notes, by and among EFIH and EFIH Finance, as issuers, and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. and Computershare Trust Company of Canada (“Computershare Trust”) as successor indenture trustee to BNY (in such capacity, the “EFIH Second Lien Notes Trustee”), EFIH issued two series of EFIH Second Lien Notes. The following EFIH Second Lien Notes were outstanding as of the Petition Date:

 

    approximately $406 million principal amount of 11.00% EFIH Second Lien Notes originally due October 1, 2021; and

 

    approximately $1.750 billion principal amount of 11.75% EFIH Second Lien Notes originally due March 1, 2022.55

The EFIH Second Lien Notes are secured by second priority liens in the collateral as defined in the EFIH Collateral Trust Agreement (defined below) and certain related documentation, specifically, EFIH’s Interests in Oncor Holdings. The EFIH Second Lien Notes are not guaranteed.

Pursuant to the Partial Repayment Order (as defined below), the EFIH Debtors obtained authority to partially repay obligations under the EFIH Second Lien Notes using $750 million of cash on hand at EFIH, and the transaction closed on March 11, 2015 (the “EFIH Second Lien Partial Repayment”). The Partial Repayment Order dictated that the repayment amount be allocated first to certain indenture trustee fees under the applicable indenture totaling $15 million, then to all interest accrued on the EFIH Second Lien Notes in full, then to principal under the EFIH Second Lien Notes, subject to certain reservations of rights, including of the Debtors to recharacterize such amounts. The EFIH Second Lien Partial Repayment, including these reservations of rights, is discussed in more detail in Section IV of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Material Events in the Chapter 11 Cases,” which begins on page 65. As a result of the EFIH Second Lien Partial Repayment, as of the date hereof, the principal amount outstanding on the 11.00% and 11.75% notes are $322 million and $1,388 million, respectively.

The Debtors seek a ruling from the Bankruptcy Court that, notwithstanding the EFIH Second Lien Partial Repayment and any repayment or other treatment of the EFIH Second Lien Notes, no EFIH Second Lien Makewhole Claims or Postpetition Interest Claims for “Additional Interest” in connection with the registration rights agreement or interest on interest or other fees and indemnification expenses should be Allowed. In addition, the Debtors reserve the right to argue that the contractual rate of interest under the EFIH Second Lien Notes is unreasonable and should be reduced. Potential disputes with respect to the EFIH Second Lien Partial Repayment, the asserted EFIH Second Lien Makewhole Claims, and other disputed amounts are discussed in greater detail in Section IV.K of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Makewhole Litigation,” which begins on page 80.

All Claims under the EFIH Second Lien Notes, including any EFIH Second Lien Makewhole Claims or other disputed amounts related to the EFIH Second Lien Notes that are eventually Allowed, are classified as Class B4 EFIH Second Lien Note Claims to the extent such Claims are Secured, and as Class B5 General Unsecured Claims Against the EFIH Debtors to the extent such Claims are Unsecured.

 

55  Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, EFIH agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to register notes under the Securities and Exchange Act having substantially the same terms as the EFIH Second Lien 2022 Notes as part of an offer to exchange freely tradable notes for the EFIH Second Lien 2022 Notes by February 5, 2013. The exchange offer was not completed, and under the terms of the registration rights agreement, the interest rate on the EFIH Second Lien 2022 Notes increased by 0.25% on February 6, 2013, and by another 0.25% on May 6, 2013. The Debtors have reserved all of their rights with respect to the registration rights agreement with respect to non-settling Holders of EFIH Second Lien Notes, specifically with respect to whether the additional rates of interest are enforceable against the Debtors.

  (c) EFIH Unsecured Notes.

Pursuant to that certain indenture, dated as of November 16, 2009 (as amended, modified, or supplemented) for the 9.75% unsecured notes (the “EFIH Unexchanged Notes”) originally due October 15, 2019, by and among EFIH and EFIH Finance, as issuers, and UMB Bank, N.A. (“UMB”), as successor indenture trustee to BNY (in such capacity, the “EFIH Unexchanged Notes Trustee”), EFIH and EFIH Finance issued the EFIH Unexchanged Notes. Approximately $2 million of EFIH Unexchanged Notes were outstanding as of the Petition Date.56

Pursuant to that certain indenture, dated as of December 5, 2012 (as amended, modified, or supplemented) for 11.25%/12.25% toggle notes (the “EFIH Senior Toggle Notes”) originally due December 1, 2018, by and among EFIH and EFIH Finance, as issuers, and UMB, as successor indenture trustee to BNY (in such capacity, the “EFIH Toggle Notes Trustee”), EFIH and EFIH Finance issued the EFIH Senior Toggle Notes. Approximately $1.566 billion of EFIH Senior Toggle Notes were outstanding as of the Petition Date.57

The EFIH Unsecured Note Claims are classified as Class B5 General Unsecured Claims Against the EFIH Debtors.

 

  (d) EFIH Collateral Trust Agreement.

The collateral trust agreement (as amended, restated, modified, and supplemented from time to time, the “EFIH Collateral Trust Agreement”) entered into by and among EFIH, CSC, as EFIH First Lien Notes Trustee and as successor collateral trustee in the indentures governing the EFIH First Lien Notes and the EFIH Second Lien Notes (in such capacity, the “EFIH Prepetition Collateral Trustee”), the EFIH Second Lien Notes Trustee, and other parties thereto from time to time, governs certain rights and remedies in respect of collateral as between the Holders of EFIH First Lien Note Claims, on one hand, and Holders of EFIH Second Lien Note Claims, on the other hand, including certain rights and remedies in the Chapter 11 Cases.

 

  4. Oncor Electric.

As of December 31, 2014, Oncor Electric, together with its subsidiary Oncor Electric BondCo, had approximately $5.7 billion of outstanding funded indebtedness, including amounts drawn under a revolving credit facility. The Debtors expect that, other than with respect to the REIT Reorganization, none of Oncor Electric’s business operations, assets, or liabilities, including Oncor Electric’s and Oncor Electric BondCo’s outstanding funded indebtedness, will be materially affected by the Chapter 11 Cases.

 

56  The EFIH Unexchanged Notes were previously secured by a first priority lien on EFIH’s equity interest in Oncor Holdings. The lien was eliminated in subsequent transactions in the Liability Management Program, which is discussed in Section III.G.1(a) of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “The Liability Management Program,” which begins on page 53, in which the EFIH Unexchanged Notes were tendered in exchange for new notes issued by EFIH. Consent was simultaneously sought, and received, for elimination of the liens.
57  Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, EFIH agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to register notes under the Securities and Exchange Act having substantially the same terms as the EFIH Senior Toggle Notes as part of an offer to exchange freely tradable notes for the EFIH Senior Toggle Notes by December 5, 2013. The exchange offer was not completed, and under the terms of the registration rights agreement, the interest rate on the EFIH Senior Toggle Notes increased by 0.25% on December 6, 2013, and by another 0.25% on March 6, 2014. The Debtors have reserved all of their rights with respect to the registration rights agreement.

  III. The Events Leading to the Debtors’ Financial Difficulties

 

A. History of EFH Corp.

TXU Corp. (the predecessor of EFH Corp.) was historically a geographically-determined, vertically-integrated, rate-regulated monopoly electricity provider. In other words, TXU Corp. generated its own electricity and transmitted and sold that electricity to customers within its service territory at rates determined by the PUCT. That changed with the partial deregulation of the Texas electricity market, which proceeded in two steps. First, in 1995, the Texas legislature passed legislation to begin deregulation of the wholesale electricity market. Second, in 1999, the Texas legislature passed legislation that mandated deregulation of the retail electricity market and unbundling of integrated utilities in the competitive ERCOT market into separate transmission and distribution utilities, which remained rate-regulated, and competitive electricity generators/wholesalers and retail electricity providers, to be accomplished by 2002. Accordingly, in 2002, TXU Corp. separated its regulated transmission and distribution utility from its deregulated generation, wholesale, and retail electricity units. The transmission and distribution utility remained rate-regulated, while the generation, wholesale, and retail businesses became subject to market-driven prices and competitive forces.

As discussed in greater detail below, the wholesale price of electricity is closely related to the price of natural gas in the ERCOT market. The monthly settled price of natural gas almost tripled between 1999 and 2006, resulting in significant increases in the enterprise value of TXU Corp. Moreover, the robust Texas economy led to continuing increases in the demand for electricity. As a result of these factors, along with other efforts undertaken in the mid-2000s to address certain leverage and over-diversification issues, TXU Corp.’s performance improved and its stock value significantly increased between 2003 and early 2007.

 

B. The 2007 Acquisition.

On February 26, 2007, TXU Corp. entered into an agreement to be acquired by Texas Holdings, a newly-created company owned by affiliates of the Sponsor Group and co-investors. The merger agreement contemplated that Texas Holdings, through a merger subsidiary, would acquire all outstanding shares of TXU Corp. for $69.25 per share in cash. This amount represented a premium over the stock price of TXU Corp. before the 2007 Acquisition was announced.

In the 2007 Acquisition transaction, approximately $31.5 billion in new debt was issued, including approximately $27 billion at TCEH and approximately $4.5 billion at EFH Corp. Affiliates of the Sponsor Group and co-investors contributed approximately $8.3 billion as equity capital. The 2007 Acquisition resulted in the cash buyout of the equity held by former TXU Corp. shareholders totaling approximately $31.9 billion and the assumption of approximately $14.7 billion of existing debt, of which approximately $6.5 billion was repaid when the 2007 Acquisition closed.58 Following these transactions, EFH had approximately $41.3 billion of outstanding funded indebtedness, including approximately $28.8 billion at TCEH, $128 million at EFCH, $7.2 billion at EFH Corp., and $5.2 billion at Oncor Electric (no Oncor Electric debt was used to fund the 2007 Acquisition). The 2007 Acquisition was—and remains—the largest private buy-out in history.

 

C. EFH Following the 2007 Acquisition.

After the 2007 Acquisition, the Sponsor Group put in place an experienced management team, including the retention of key pre-2007 Acquisition management, along with a well-qualified, diverse board of directors to execute their plan to improve EFH’s immediate and long-term competitive position. Today, EFH continues to be led by an experienced team of management and directors, who include, among others:

 

    Donald L. Evans, who has been the Chairman of EFH Corp. since October 2007. Mr. Evans previously served as the U.S. Secretary of Commerce.

 

58  Amounts exclude capital leases and a promissory note.

 

51


    John Young, who has been the President and CEO of EFH Corp., TCEH, and EFIH since January 2008. Mr. Young previously held many leadership roles at Exelon Corporation from March 2003 to January 2008, including Executive Vice President of Finance and Markets of Exelon Corporation; President of Exelon Generation; and President of Exelon Power. Before joining Exelon, Mr. Young was Senior Vice President of Sierra Pacific Resources Corporation, Executive Vice President of Southern Generation, and served as a naval officer in the United States Navy for five years. In sum, Mr. Young has 30 years of experience in the power and utility industry.

 

    Paul Keglevic, who has been the CFO of EFH Corp., TCEH, and EFIH since July 2008, the co-CRO of EFH Corp. since October 2013, and the co-CRO of TCEH and EFIH since February 2014. Mr. Keglevic previously was PricewaterhouseCoopers’ Utility Sector Leader from 2002 to 2008 and Clients and Sector Assurance Leader from 2007 to 2008. Before that, Mr. Keglevic was the head of the utilities practice and Pacific Rim Managing Partner at Arthur Andersen, where he was a partner for 15 years. In sum, Mr. Keglevic has 38 years of experience in the power and utility industry.

 

    Stacey Doré, who has been the General Counsel of EFH Corp., TCEH, and EFIH since April 2012, the co-CRO of EFH Corp. since October 2013, and the Co-CRO of TCEH and EFIH since February 2014. Ms. Doré has been with EFH since December 2008 and previously served as Associate General Counsel of Litigation and General Counsel of Luminant. Ms. Doré was previously an attorney at Vinson & Elkins.

 

    Mac McFarland, who has been CEO of Luminant since December 2012. Mr. McFarland has been with EFH since July 2008 and previously served as Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer of Luminant. Before joining Luminant, Mr. McFarland served as Senior Vice President of Mergers, Acquisitions and Divestitures and as a Vice President in the wholesale marketing and trading division power team at Exelon Corporation. In sum, Mr. McFarland has 16 years of experience in the power and utility industry.

 

    Jim Burke, who has been the CEO of TXU Energy since August 2005. Mr. Burke has been with EFH since October 2004 and previously served as Senior Vice President of Consumer Markets of TXU Energy. Before joining TXU Energy, Mr. Burke served as President and Chief Operating Officer of Gexa Energy and as a Senior Vice President of Consumer Operations with Reliant Energy, two other major Texas REPs. Previously, Mr. Burke worked for the Coca-Cola Company for six years in finance and general management for the domestic and international juice divisions. In sum, Mr. Burke has more than 20 years of experience in the retail services and consumer products industry, including 14 years in the retail electricity market.

EFH’s management team and boards of directors have focused their efforts on implementing a host of initiatives that have resulted in numerous operational accomplishments notwithstanding challenging wholesale electricity market conditions. In addition to the specific initiatives discussed below, management has, among other things:

 

    identified and invested more than $10 billion in new electric infrastructure in Texas, including three new generation units, two new mining complexes, new transmission and distribution wires, approximately two million advanced meters, and also upgraded critical support and IT systems;

 

    increased Adjusted EBITDA 59 from approximately $4.578 billion in 2008 to approximately $5.257 billion in 2012 and $4.699 billion in 2013 despite low wholesale electricity prices and other challenging market conditions;

 

59  Adjusted EBITDA” measures earnings (net income) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization, adjusted to exclude noncash items, unusual items, and other adjustments allowed under certain of EFH’s prepetition debt documents.

 

52


    achieved a reduction of approximately 15% in selling, general, and administrative expenses for the competitive businesses, including “bad debt” expenses, from 2009 to 2013, successfully reducing costs without negatively impacting necessary capital expenditures; and

 

    hired and/or insourced approximately 1,900 employees to support new assets, improve customer service, and improve operations.

 

  1. Luminant Remains a Market Leader in Electricity Generation and Wholesale Operations.

In conjunction with, and following, the 2007 Acquisition, Luminant continued a robust hedging program designed to reduce the risks of a decline in wholesale electricity prices. The hedging program used financial natural gas instruments to reduce Luminant’s exposure to declines in future wholesale electricity prices that result from decreases in the price of natural gas. This program has operated as designed and contributed approximately $998 million, $1.833 billion, $1.265 billion, $1.152 billion, and $752 million of TCEH’s Adjusted EBITDA in 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively, compared to TCEH’s overall Adjusted EBITDA of $2.919 billion, $3.574 billion, $3.584 billion, $3.85 billion, and $3.634 billion in those same years. As discussed below, however, a significant portion of TCEH’s hedge program matured in 2013, the remaining position would have matured in 2014 absent the Chapter 11 Cases, and as of the date hereof, all counterparties have terminated these positions. As a result, TCEH is no longer hedged at the favorable pricing that existed in these agreements.

Luminant also completed construction on three new lignite generation units in 2009 and 2010 at Sandow and Oak Grove and offset 100% of key emissions from the new units through a voluntary emissions reduction program. The new units satisfied one of many commitments made in connection with the 2007 Acquisition, helped to ensure sufficient generation capacity in the ERCOT market, and were completed on-time and on-budget. Luminant also terminated plans for eight additional lignite/coal generation units in satisfaction of its 2007 Acquisition-related commitments.

Since the 2007 Acquisition, Luminant has achieved significant operational milestones while making significant investments in environmental improvements. Luminant’s nuclear and lignite/coal-fueled generation units are consistently among the most reliable and efficient in the country. Additionally, the two new units at Oak Grove have the lowest key emissions rates of any Texas lignite units with rates that are at least 62% lower than the national average for coal units. Since the 2007 Acquisition and through 2013, Luminant increased its lignite/coal-fueled generation output by 21% while satisfying its commitment to decrease the key emissions of its lignite/coal-fueled units by more than 20% from a 2005 benchmark. Luminant is also a significant purchaser of wind-generated electricity in Texas, with contracts for approximately over 500 MW of wind power and related renewable energy credits. These purchases have allowed Luminant to contribute to environmental improvements and have allowed TXU Energy to diversify its retail product offerings.

Luminant’s mining activities have also continued to add value to EFH and, specifically, to the TCEH Debtors. Since the 2007 Acquisition, Luminant has added three mines. Additionally, Luminant has been the recipient of numerous awards and acknowledgements related to mining safety and land reclamation, including an unprecedented five Director’s Awards for advancing the science of reclamation from the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Office of Surface Mining, most recently in 2009; the Texas Coal Mining Reclamation Award from the RCT in 2014; and the 2014 National Mine Reclamation Award in the coal category from the Interstate Mining Compact Commission.

Importantly, Luminant has achieved these operational successes while maintaining a very strong safety record. For example:

 

    in 2012, Luminant recorded its best safety year on record as measured by a key industry standard of number of incidents reportable to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration per 200,000 man-hours;

 

    Luminant’s Three Oaks mine, which provides fuel for the Sandow lignite-fueled plant, has recorded three years without any injuries that resulted in “lost time”—in other words, no workers at the mine have been injured in a way that has resulted in any time off the job;

 

53


    Luminant’s natural gas-fueled plants have had no “lost time” injuries for 10 years;

 

    the Monticello and Big Brown lignite/coal-fueled plants have not had a lost-time injury for 22 years and 3 years, respectively; and

 

    Comanche Peak’s employees have worked more than 11 million total hours without a lost-time injury.

 

  2. TXU Energy Remains a Market-Leading REP.

TXU Energy has maintained its position as a leading REP in Texas by providing top-tier customer services, focusing on target customers, leveraging its high brand recognition, maintaining highly competitive retail prices, and providing innovative products and services. Importantly, TXU Energy has reduced PUCT complaints by more than 88% since 2009 and is in the top decile of performance in the industry with respect to customer complaints. At the same time, TXU Energy has lowered “bad debt” expense by 68% since 2009 through collection initiatives, customer mix initiatives, and credit policy improvements. TXU Energy has also maintained its position as a leader in technological innovation, leading the way in developing digital capabilities that allow customers to manage and control their electricity costs, such as smart phone applications that allow users to adjust their thermostat remotely. TXU Energy’s commitment to innovation makes its products more attractive to customers and improves the environmental footprint of EFH by improving its customers’ energy efficiency.

Following the 2007 Acquisition, TXU Energy instituted a 15% residential price cut to legacy customers, making it the lowest-cost incumbent provider in Texas, and locked those rates in place through 2008. TXU Energy also provided approximately $125 million in low-income customer assistance through 2012, waived deposit requirements for certain customers, and formed a new Low Income Advisory Committee made up of leaders in the social service delivery sector. TXU Energy AidSM is the company’s flagship program for customers in need and is the largest bill payment assistance program in the nation among electricity providers. For more than 30 years, TXU Energy AidSM has provided more than $90 million to help more than 475,000 customers in temporary financial need pay their electric bills.

Additionally, TXU Energy has invested more than $100 million to develop innovative, sustainable, and energy savings products and services to help customers better manage their electricity usage. The suite of sustainability and energy savings solutions, as well as time of use electricity plans, benefit residential and business customers. A portion of the investment was dedicated to initiatives for low-income customers. The program has been beneficial to the environment—lower consumption means lower levels of pollutants—and beneficial to EFH’s ability to attract and retain customers demanding greater control over their electricity use.

TXU Energy’s initiatives have generated positive results. There are more than 50 REPs offering more than 300 electricity plans to residential customers in the competitive areas of Texas. Yet, even with that level of competition, TXU Energy’s annual residential customer net attrition numbers have declined since 2011. In fact, TXU Energy had less than 2% annual net attrition in 2014. Indeed, TXU Energy has the lowest residential net attrition among the “incumbent” REPs (i.e., REPs that are associated with a pre-deregulation electric utility) in the areas traditionally served by those incumbent REPs since 2001. In other words, since deregulation in 2002, TXU Energy has maintained a larger portion of its residential customers than other incumbent REPs.60

 

  3. Other Initiatives.

Following the 2007 Acquisition, EFH put a number of initiatives in place in addition to the operational improvements at TXU Energy and Luminant. Importantly, EFH has focused on achieving cost savings and service excellence in its provision of shared services to create value for TCEH and the rest of EFH. The results have been

Based on information provided by the PUCT that evaluates the number of residential customers who purchase electricity from the REP that is historically associated with that customer’s regulated transmission and distribution utility. In other words, a higher percentage of Oncor’s customers purchase their electricity from TXU Energy compared to the same statistic for the other regulated transmission and distribution utilities and formerly affiliated REPs in Texas.

 

54


positive: costs have declined significantly while service has improved significantly. Part of that improvement has been the reversal of certain outsourcing agreements for human resources, IT, supply chain, and some accounting functions. Insourcing a significant portion of those functions has resulted in lower cost to EFH while also improving the quality of service to the business and external customers.

Additionally, EFH established a sustainable energy advisory board composed of labor, economic development, reliability/technology, and environmental advocacy representatives of the Texas community as part of a long-term commitment to being a leader on sustainability issues.

 

D. The Result of Low Natural Gas Prices on EFH’s Financial Performance Following the 2007 Acquisition.

The 2007 Acquisition was driven, in part, by the expectation that natural gas prices and wholesale electricity prices in the ERCOT market would not decline precipitously and over the long-term. These expectations held true in the year following the 2007 Acquisition. The monthly NYMEX Henry Hub settled price of natural gas futures contracts was $6.42 per MMBtu in October 2007, when the 2007 Acquisition closed. In 2008, that figure rose as high as $13.11 per MMBtu. Additionally, the average monthly NYMEX Henry Hub futures contract settled prices for the years ending December 31, 2007 and 2008 were $6.86 per MMBtu and $9.03 per MMBtu, respectively. Those increases in natural gas prices contributed, in part, to increases in annual average ERCOT wholesale electricity prices from $52.42 per MWh in 2007 to $63.44 per MWh in 2008. Operating revenues for the competitive electric segment (i.e., TCEH) increased from $8.56 billion to $9.79 billion in the years ending December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively, due in part to higher wholesale electricity prices reflecting rising natural gas prices. As discussed below, however, technological breakthroughs began to fundamentally alter the energy landscape after the 2007 Acquisition, leading, in principal part, to the Debtors’ current financial difficulties.

 

  1. The Texas Electricity Market and the Role of ERCOT.

Texas is the largest state electricity market in the United States and the eleventh-largest electricity market worldwide—ranking ahead of, among others, the United Kingdom, Italy, and Spain. The ERCOT electricity market covers approximately 75% of Texas’s land mass and represents approximately 90% of the electricity consumption in Texas.

The ERCOT market is a unique “power island” contained within Texas. The following map shows reliability areas, which are generally subject to regulation by the FERC and several regional reliability agencies.

 

LOGO

 

55


Most of these reliability areas are part of the much larger western and eastern interconnections. The ERCOT reliability region, by contrast, is its own standalone interconnection, and it has very limited export and import capability. Accordingly, approximately 98% of the electricity generated in the ERCOT market is consumed in the ERCOT market.

ERCOT is the regional independent system operator (“ISO”) for the ERCOT interconnection—by contrast, no other interconnections or reliability regions are completely served by a single ISO. ERCOT schedules power on an electric grid that connects more than 43,000 miles of transmission lines and approximately 550 generation units, comprising approximately 90,600 MW of installed generation capacity, including approximately 2,500 MW of idled capacity and approximately 11,500 MW of wind and other resources that are not available under certain conditions. Of the total installed capacity, approximately 59% is natural gas-fueled generation, 27% is lignite/coal and nuclear-fueled generation, and 14% is fueled by wind and other renewable resources.

ERCOT is responsible for procuring energy on behalf of its members while maintaining the reliable operation of the electricity supply system. ERCOT also performs financial settlements for the competitive wholesale electricity market and enforces certain credit requirements, including collateral posting requirements, to ensure market participants’ creditworthiness for transactions facilitated by ERCOT. Additionally, ERCOT administers retail switching for the more than 7 million customers61 in the ERCOT market that have the ability to choose their REP. ERCOT’s membership consists of approximately 300 corporate and associate members, including electric cooperatives, municipal power agencies, independent generators, independent power marketers, investor-owned utilities, REPs, and consumers. ERCOT operates under reliability standards set by the NERC and the TRE and is subject to regulatory and legislative oversight by the PUCT.

Notwithstanding the ERCOT market’s “power island” status, the delivery of electricity in the ERCOT market operates similarly to other electricity markets in the United States. Market participants buy and sell electricity utilizing both the spot or “real-time” market (i.e., electricity for current transmission/distribution and use by consumers) and the day-ahead market, both of which are facilitated by ERCOT in its role as the ISO, and through bilateral contracts that indirectly facilitate the majority of wholesale electricity sales in the ERCOT market. These markets allow ERCOT, in conjunction with the qualified scheduling entities that transact directly in the day-ahead and spot markets (facilitated by the bilateral contracts entered into between electricity generators/wholesalers, retailers, and the qualified scheduling entities), to ensure that electricity is reliably delivered to all market participants.

 

  (a) The Role of Natural Gas in Wholesale Electricity Pricing in the ERCOT Market.

Natural gas-fueled generation accounted for approximately 59% of the electricity generation capacity, and 41% of the electricity actually produced and consumed, in the ERCOT market in 2014. Natural gas units, however, meet the peak, or “marginal,” electricity demand approximately 70-90% of the year. Accordingly, when natural gas-fueled units satisfy demand, prices for wholesale electricity are highly correlated to the price of natural gas.

 

61  Measured by number of electricity meters.

 

56


The chart below illustrates the correlation between natural gas prices and wholesale electricity prices between 2007 and the beginning of 2014:

 

LOGO

There are essentially six classes of generation assets in the ERCOT market: (i) renewable generation (including wind, hydro-electric, and solar generation); (ii) nuclear; (iii) lignite/coal; (iv) combined-cycle gas turbines (“CCGTs”), which are more efficient natural gas units; (v) other natural gas and oil assets; and (vi) internal combustion assets. As demand for electricity increases or decreases, ERCOT dispatches its assets in ascending order based on cost to generate each marginal MW of electricity. That cost is generally approximated by a unit’s fuel expense.

Generally, in the ERCOT market, when natural gas prices are high, the cost to generate electricity using natural gas-fueled units is high. These natural gas-fueled units generally set the cost for wholesale electricity in the ERCOT market because they normally satisfy the marginal demand for electricity. As a result, high natural gas prices generally lead to high wholesale electricity prices. Lignite/coal and nuclear-fueled units have the ability to benefit from these increases in wholesale electricity prices: the variable costs to produce electricity using these units are not directly affected by changes in natural gas prices, and the electricity generated by lignite/coal and nuclear-fueled units can be sold for the higher wholesale prices set by natural gas-fueled plants. Importantly, however, lignite/coal and nuclear units have high start-up costs relative to natural gas units and require longer notice or “lead time” to start. As a result, lignite/coal units may run at a loss when wholesale electricity prices are low.

Natural gas units, by contrast, typically have lower start-up costs and generation can be substantially increased or decreased in a relatively short period of time. As a result, natural gas units are more likely to be shut down when wholesale electricity prices are below the natural gas unit’s cost to produce electricity. Importantly, when natural gas prices are relatively low, the cost of producing electricity from CCGTs may drop below the cost of producing electricity from lignite/coal units. When this occurs, these CCGTs—which Luminant does not own—can displace lignite/coal units, including certain of Luminant’s lignite/coal units, at lower levels of demand, and exacerbate the effect low natural gas prices have on the profitability of those lignite/coal units. This is a market function known as “coal to gas switching.”

 

57


These factors reflect a key economic driver for the Debtors: high natural gas prices contribute to high wholesale electricity prices and higher profitability for Luminant’s entire electricity generation fleet, particularly its lignite/coal and nuclear-fueled units. By contrast, declines in natural gas prices result in lower wholesale electricity prices, increased coal to gas switching, lower generation from lignite/coal units, and lower profitability for Luminant’s entire electricity generation fleet. As discussed below, market conditions and technological innovations led to such a decline following the 2007 Acquisition—and that decline has had a substantial negative effect on the results of TCEH’s business operations, even after accounting for TCEH’s natural gas hedging program.

 

  2. The Precipitous Drop in Natural Gas Prices Resulting From the Development of Unconventional Natural Gas.

When the 2007 Acquisition closed, market conditions, including forward natural gas prices, indicated that EFH would be able to service, repay, and refinance its 2007 Acquisition-related debt and generate positive returns for EFH’s new equity owners. As discussed below, however, a precipitous and prolonged decline in natural gas prices that resulted from increased exploitation and production of “unconventional” natural gas fundamentally altered market conditions not just for EFH, but for the United States and global energy industry as a whole.

The increased exploitation and development of unconventional natural gas largely results from the technological advances related to the processes known as hydraulic fracturing (widely known as “fracking”) and directional drilling. Unconventional natural gas rests below the surface, trapped within shale rock and tight sand formations. Geologists have long known that the United States has access to some of the world’s largest concentrations of natural gas, but until the recent improvements in fracking and drilling technologies, much of the gas could not be economically extracted. At its core, the fracking process is simple. Engineers crack open the geologic formation holding the gas by pumping highly-pressurized fluid into the rock, allowing the gas to escape. When the well is de-pressurized, the gas—which is higher-pressure than the fluids used to break the rock apart—flows to the surface.

While the usage of fracking is not new, both technological limitations and federal law limited early attempts to capitalize on its use. For example, for effective fracking, the cracks in the shale rock must be maintained by a high amount of pressure. Early processes did not maintain pressure long enough to enable the gas to escape, and picking a spot for new drilling was little better than guesswork because of limitations on underground imaging technology. Moreover, modern fracking techniques were severely restricted by the Safe Drinking Water Act, which imposed strict requirements on the injection of industrial chemicals into the ground. In 2005, however, Congress—citing a 2004 EPA study indicating that the process is safe—exempted natural gas extraction fluids from EPA regulation under this statute. This legislative action allowed natural gas extraction companies to innovate and improve the efficiency of fracking fluid technology with less threat of government regulation, eventually contributing to higher extraction rates and more widespread adoption of fracking throughout the United States.

Between 2005 and 2008, natural gas prices continued to increase. The prolonged, substantial decreases in natural gas prices that later occurred as a result of fracking were not anticipated at the time of the 2007 Acquisition because of, among other things, anticipated technological barriers, environmental concerns, and expected decreases in production to offset decreases in price. Contrary to expectations at the time of the 2007 Acquisition, however, the technological barriers were overcome. Lubricating agents were developed that allowed for cheaper injection of fluid at higher pressures and chemical mixtures were developed that maintained the cracks in the shale rock for longer periods of time. Seismic imaging technology produced greater certainty about the location of wells. Horizontal drilling advancements allowed for the increase of the “drillable” size of each well.

 

58


Together, these advances decreased costs and increased yield, making the process profitable and leading to a dramatic increase in economically available natural gas reserves, as demonstrated by the following map:

 

LOGO

These improvements in the fracking process led to a dramatic increase in natural gas production in the United States since 2008, even as gross withdrawals from traditional sources of natural gas declined:62

 

LOGO

These unexpected increases in natural gas production caused natural gas prices to fall to as low as $2.04 per MMBtu in May 2012—the lowest price since February 2002—and natural gas prices have generally stayed in the range

of $2.50–$4.80 per MMBtu since then, with the exception of certain weather-driven events. Although the extremely cold weather throughout most of the country in the fall and winter of 2013/2014 contributed to significant natural gas price increases—causing short-term prices to reach as high as $6.15 per MMBtu on February 19, 2014, for March 2014 delivery—short-term prices have already declined significantly from those highs to below $3.00 per MMBtu. And even those higher, weather-related short-term natural gas prices are below the natural gas prices that prevailed at the time of the 2007 Acquisition. Longer-term natural gas prices were not significantly influenced by those increases in short-term prices.

 

  3. The Effect of Low Natural Gas Prices on EFH.

The prolonged, significant decline in natural gas prices has significantly decreased the profitability of TCEH’s lignite/coal and nuclear-fueled units. These market conditions and other factors have resulted in significant declines in TCEH’s revenues that were not entirely offset by gains from TCEH’s natural gas hedging program, and as of the date hereof, all of these favorable positions have been terminated. The consequences to the profitability of TCEH’s units have been and will be significant: declining natural gas prices, increased competition from more economic generation assets (including renewable generation and more efficient natural gas-fueled technology), along with other macroeconomic drivers, resulted in significant declines in revenues and the recognition of impairments to TCEH’s goodwill intangible asset balance of $700 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015, $1.6 billion in 2014, $1.0 billion in 2013, $1.2 billion in 2012, and $4.1 billion in 2010.63 Further, TCEH recognized impairment charges for certain of its lignite/coal fired generation facilities of $4.6 billion in 2014 due to the significant decline in natural gas prices and its impact on wholesale electricity prices.

In response to these economic conditions, Luminant has reduced the amount of time that certain lignite/coal-fueled units, that are comparatively more expensive to operate, generate electricity to reduce the amount of electricity generated uneconomically. These reductions generally take one of two forms. Luminant may temporarily cease electricity generation at certain lignite/coal units for short periods of time when the demand for electricity and wholesale electricity prices in the ERCOT market are comparatively low. The units resume operation when demand for electricity, and wholesale electricity prices, are comparatively high. Alternatively, certain units may be operated on a seasonal basis in response to sustained periods of comparatively low wholesale electricity prices and demand for electricity. Indeed, Luminant has sought and received permission in the past to operate two of its lignite/coal units at Monticello, along with one unit at Martin Lake, on a seasonal basis, and Luminant has filed its intent to increase the number of Martin Lake units operating on a seasonable basis to two. Luminant anticipates that it will continue to operate the units on a seasonal basis if wholesale electricity prices remain at current levels. In 2014, 2013, and 2012, the estimated effects of these generation reductions of lignite/coal-fueled units totaled approximately 15,770 GWh, 12,460 GWh, and 10,410 GWh of lowered electricity output, respectively.

TCEH’s previous long-term natural gas hedges, which were put in place in 2006, 2007, and 2008, largely matured by 2013, the remainder would have matured in 2014 absent the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, and as of the date hereof, all such hedges have been terminated. These maturities have already, and will continue to, exacerbate the TCEH Debtors’ balance sheet-related challenges. As of April 30, 2008, TCEH had hedged approximately 85% of its 2009–2013 expected natural gas price exposure associated with its expected nuclear, coal, and lignite generation, with natural gas positions at average prices ranging from $7.25 per MMBtu to $8.26 per MMBtu. Further, most of the hedging transactions were secured with a first lien interest in TCEH’s assets, which eliminated normal collateral posting requirements for those wholesale hedging transactions and associated effects on liquidity.

As of March 31, 2015, TCEH had approximately 97% of its 2015 natural gas position hedged with either forward sales of electricity or other natural gas hedges. These hedges, however, are at prices that are closer to current market prices of natural gas, versus the favorable prices of the hedges that were executed in 2006, 2007, and 2008. As a result, TCEH is experiencing significantly greater exposure to lower natural gas prices and correspondingly lower wholesale electricity prices, and will continue to be exposed to these pressures going forward.

 

63  TCEH also recorded an $8 billion goodwill impairment in 2008. That impairment, however, was largely unrelated to TCEH’s performance or the value of its assets. Instead, that impairment was due primarily to the financial crisis/economic recession in 2008 that dramatically increased discount rates; Oncor recorded a goodwill impairment of approximately $860 million in the same year.

E. Other Market Conditions Affecting TCEH’s Performance.

In addition to lower wholesale electricity prices resulting from low natural gas prices, TCEH’s financial performance has also been affected by other market and regulatory considerations. Further discussion of risk factors associated with the Debtors’ business operations can be found in Section VIII.D of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Risk Factors Related to the Business Operations of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and Oncor Electric,” which begins on page 162.

First, TCEH’s financial difficulties resulting from the effect of low natural gas prices are punctuated by TCEH’s significant exposure to the uncertain costs of environmental litigation and regulation, including both air quality and global climate change regulation. TCEH anticipates that it will incur a total of nearly $1.2 billion in capital expenditures related to environmental rules and regulations from 2010 through 2020 (including maintenance of existing emissions control equipment)—and that amount could be subject to material increases depending upon any new environmental regulations.

Examples of environmental regulation and litigation-related expenses that drive the expenditures include regulations and litigation related to air quality standards under the Clean Air Act, including the much-litigated Cross-State Air Pollution Rule and the Mercury and Air Toxics Standard, potential and proposed rules by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and related litigation regarding Regional Haze, litigation and regulation related to the byproducts of electricity generation—including the Disposal of Coal Combustion Residuals from Electric Utilities rule—and steps to address greenhouse gas emissions. Each of these categories of regulation and litigation, along with others, impose cost and uncertainty on TCEH’s business operations.

Second, the cost of delivered coal has increased since the 2007 Acquisition for four reasons: (1) increases in the price of Powder River Basin Coal, which is used to fuel several of the Debtors’ coal-fueled units (2) higher rail transportation costs; (3) the addition of rail fuel surcharges to certain agreements; and (4) inflation. These increases in the cost of delivered Powder River Basin coal increase the cost of operating Luminant’s lignite/coal-fueled units and, consequently, reduce overall profits.

Third, electricity demand is driven, in part, by general macroeconomic conditions. The economic recession in 2008/2009 had a negative effect on the demand for electricity, as illustrated by the following chart:64

Fourth, following the deregulation of the Texas electricity market, a significant number of REPs entered the retail electricity market. As is the case in most competitive markets, certain of these REPs have been willing to offer products with prices that are low enough to draw away customers from other REPs, including TXU Energy, that focus on maintaining a higher level of customer service and a broader variety of technological and other offerings. Retail market restructuring in the ERCOT market was designed to encourage customers to shop for alternatives to incumbent REPs, such as TXU Energy, that are associated with pre-deregulation utilities. As a result of this fierce competition, TXU Energy, along with many other Texas REPs, has experienced customer attrition.

Fifth, developments, and associated tax incentives for, renewable energy sources like wind power have increased the supply of electricity derived from such sources. A key driver of increased wind generation has been the competitive renewable energy zone program, which is designed to facilitate the transmission of electricity generated in west Texas and the Texas panhandle to the load centers located in major metropolitan areas. Indeed, according to ERCOT, wind capacity in the ERCOT market has increased from approximately 3,426 MW in the summer of 2007 to approximately 11,500 MW in 2014—an increase of 236%. Similarly, actual wind production increased from approximately 8,800 GWh in 2007 to approximately 36,142 GWh in 2014—an increase of approximately 311%. After capital costs are invested, wind power is essentially free to generate: the fuel source (wind) is free, and, for each MWh of electricity generated, wind generators benefit from governmental incentives like production tax credits and renewable energy credits regardless of the wholesale price of electricity in the ERCOT market. These increases in wind generation can increase the amount of time Luminant’s lignite/coal-fueled units operate unprofitably and at lower output than design.

 

F. EFH’s Financial Outlook and Business Strategy Going Forward.

The Debtors’ balance sheet is unsustainable given expected market conditions. Once the Debtors’ balance sheet problems are addressed, however, the Debtors expect to be poised to leverage their core operations, sales and customer service expertise, and shared services skills to take advantage of possible growth opportunities. Demand for electricity in the ERCOT market is forecasted to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 1.3% from 2016 to 2025, resulting in the potential need to build generation resources in the ERCOT market. Additionally, the Debtors’ fundamental business operations are strong notwithstanding the downward pressure placed on wholesale electricity prices by low natural gas prices and high levels of competition. Once the Debtors’ balance sheet is delevered, the Debtors expect that they will be able to operate their businesses profitably and expect that they will be able to pursue opportunities as they arise.

 

G. EFH’s Reorganization Efforts.

Following the 2007 Acquisition and the subsequent decline in market conditions and increase in environmental costs, the Debtors took a number of steps to maximize the value of the business.

 

  1. EFH Implements Financial Transactions.

Since the 2007 Acquisition, the Debtors have executed several transactions to reduce or extend their debt obligations, reduce cash interest payments, eliminate significant contingent liabilities, and maximize value, as discussed below.

 

  (a) The Liability Management Program.

In October 2009, the Debtors initiated a new program focused on improving the Debtors’ balance sheets by reducing debt and cash interest payments and extending debt maturities through debt exchanges, repurchases, and issuances (the “Liability Management Program”). Before the Petition Date, the Liability Management Program captured approximately $2.5 billion in debt discount, including approximately $700 million of debt discount at TCEH, by acquiring approximately $12.57 billion in debt in exchange for approximately $10.04 billion of new debt and/or cash (including cash funded by debt issuances).

Additionally, through the Liability Management Program, the Debtors amended and extended approximately $25.7 billion of debt maturities to 2017-2021. The original maturities ranged from 2013 (in the case of certain amounts under the TCEH Credit Agreement, as discussed below) to 2017 (in the case of certain notes issued in connection with the 2007 Acquisition). Additionally, certain debt exchanges and repurchases involved debt issued in earlier Liability Management Program transactions that had maturity dates in 2019 and 2020.

Amendments to the TCEH Credit Agreement completed in April 2011 and January 2013 resulted in the extension of $16.4 billion in loan maturities to 2017 and the extension of $2.05 billion of commitments under the revolving credit facility to 2016. In connection with the April 2011 amendment, approximately $1.623 billion of claims under the TCEH Credit Agreement were repaid using $1.604 billion of net proceeds from issuing the TCEH First Lien Notes (the remainder was sourced from cash on hand). The April 2011 amendment also included an amendment to certain of the TCEH Credit Agreement’s financial covenants that allowed the TCEH Debtors to avoid triggering an event of default.

 

62


EFH also attempted to segregate the credit risk of EFH Corp., EFIH, and EFCH/TCEH. EFH attempted to accomplish this goal through a combination of the exchanges discussed above—many of which resulted in the elimination of EFH Corp. debt that was guaranteed by both EFCH and EFIH—and issuing EFIH Second Lien Notes to fund the repayment of intercompany demand notes from TCEH to EFH Corp. that were guaranteed by EFIH. This effort was driven, in part, by an effort to reduce the cost of capital at EFH Corp. and EFIH that would result from isolating EFH Corp. and EFIH from TCEH’s credit risk, preserve EFIH’s access to the credit markets, and settle the payment obligations of EFH Corp. and EFIH to TCEH in an efficient and orderly manner prior to TCEH needing cash to continue operations and demanding payment in full of all amounts outstanding under the intercompany demand notes. Additionally, isolating EFH Corp. and EFIH from TCEH’s credit risk was part of EFH’s strategy to pursue a consolidated restructuring transaction.

Certain aspects of the Debtors’ Liability Management Program have been the subject of litigation, and could be the source of potential Claims.

 

  (b) Tax Restructuring to Eliminate Excess Loss Account and Deferred Intercompany Gain Tax Transactions.

In addition to the significant value generated through the Liability Management Program, EFH also eliminated large contingent tax liabilities. As a result of various transactions over the years, including the 2007 Acquisition, EFH Corp. generated multi-billion dollar deferred intercompany gain (“DIG”) and excess loss account (“ELA”) contingent tax liabilities with respect to its equity interests in the predecessor to EFCH. Specifically, the equity interests in the predecessor to EFCH held by EFH Corp. reflected an accumulated ELA of approximately $19 billion and DIG of approximately $4 billion as a result of the 2007 Acquisition and prior corporate transactions. EFH determined that certain restructuring transactions could result in recognition of those amounts, resulting in significant taxable gain and tax liability.

To eliminate the risk of these significant tax liabilities, EFH Corp. sought and obtained a private letter ruling from the IRS that allowed EFH Corp. to undertake an internal corporate restructuring to eliminate the DIG and ELA without adverse tax consequences. The transaction was consummated on April 15, 2013.

It is important to note that while this transaction reduced certain potential tax liabilities with respect to the TCEH Debtors, the transaction did not eliminate the potential tax burden and other negative implications of a taxable sale of the TCEH Debtors’ assets or EFIH’s direct and indirect equity interests in Oncor Holdings and Oncor Electric, either through a plan or through a section 363 sale.

 

  (c) Restructuring of the Debtors’ Long-Term Employee Pension Obligations.

EFH also modified its pension plan in 2012 to provide greater certainty regarding future costs.65 The modifications resulted in:

 

    splitting off assets and liabilities under the plan associated with employees of Oncor Electric and all retirees and terminated vested participants of EFH (including discontinued businesses) to a new plan sponsored and administered by Oncor Electric;

 

    splitting off assets and liabilities under the plan associated with active employees of the Debtors, other than bargaining unit employees, to a terminating plan, freezing benefits, and vesting all accrued plan benefits for such pension participants;

 

    terminating, distributing benefits under, and settling all of EFH’s liabilities under the terminating plan, resulting in a reduction in annual pension expense by approximately $40 million, mostly for the Debtors; and

 

    maintaining the plan associated with TCEH’s bargaining unit employees.

 

65  These modifications did not affect EFH’s other post-employment benefit (“OPEB”) obligations.

 

63


On June 27, 2014, the Debtors filed the Motion of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al., for an Order Authorizing the Debtors to Execute the 401(k) Plan Separation [D.I. 1229]. This motion requested Bankruptcy Court authorization to transfer the accounts of Oncor Electric employees who participate in the 401(k) Plan to a new 401(k) plan established and maintained by Oncor Electric. On July 17, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court granted the relief requested [D.I. 1620].

 

  (d) Prepetition Negotiations.

For a significant period prior to the Petition Date, the Debtors engaged in extended negotiations with several creditor groups with the goal of reaching an agreement on a consensual restructuring. The result of these negotiations was the Restructuring Support Agreement. The Restructuring Support Agreement was ultimately terminated on July 23, 2014. For further discussion of the circumstances leading up to entry into and termination of the Restructuring Support Agreement, see Section IV.C.1(a) of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Motions Related to the Restructuring Support Agreement,” which begins on page 66.

  IV. Material Events in the Chapter 11 Cases

 

A. Venue.

Almost simultaneously with the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, on April 29, 2014, the TCEH Second Lien Notes Trustee filed the Motion of Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1412 and Rule 1014 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure to Transfer Cases to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas [D.I. 5] (the “Motion to Transfer”). The TCEH Second Lien Notes Trustee asserted that Texas is the correct venue for the Chapter 11 Cases because, among other things: (1) the Debtors’ business is conducted in Texas; (2) the Debtors are subject to numerous Texas regulatory regimes and are involved in lawsuits in Texas; and (3) the Debtors’ only connection to Delaware is that certain of the Debtors were formed under Delaware law. Further, the TCEH Second Lien Notes Trustee asserted that the additional costs associated with maintaining the Chapter 11 Cases in Delaware is significantly higher than if the cases were maintained in Texas. The Motion to Transfer was joined by Neighbors for Neighbors, Inc. [D.I. 557], as well as by the TCEH Unsecured Ad Hoc Group [D.I. 225], which later withdrew its joinder.

On May 8, 2014, the Debtors objected to the Motion to Transfer [D.I. 391] (the “Transfer Objection”). The Transfer Objection was joined by the agent for the TCEH DIP Facility [D.I. 519], the TCEH First Lien Ad Hoc Committee [D.I. 522], an ad hoc committee of EFIH unsecured noteholders (the “Ad Hoc Committee of EFIH Unsecured Noteholders”) [D.I. 524], certain funds and accounts advised by Fidelity Management & Research Company (“Fidelity”) [D.I. 525], the TCEH First Lien Collateral Agent [D.I. 526], and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 220, Local 2078, and Local 2337 [D.I. 531]. Additionally, the PUCT, RCT, and TCEQ filed a notice noting that they took no position on the Motion to Transfer on May 21, 2014. [D.I. 563]. On May 21, 2014, the TCEH Second Lien Notes Trustee also submitted a reply to the Transfer Objection [D.I. 567] and a motion to strike the Debtors’ Transfer Objection [D.I. 568] (the “Motion to Strike”).

On May 22, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court denied the Motion to Transfer [D.I. 596] and the Motion to Strike [D.I. 595]. The TCEH Second Lien Notes Trustee did not appeal the Bankruptcy Court’s ruling.

 

B. Appointment of Official Committees.

 

  1. TCEH Committee.

Section 1102 of the Bankruptcy Code requires that, absent an order of the Bankruptcy Court to the contrary, the U.S. Trustee must appoint a committee of unsecured creditors as soon as practicable. On May 13, 2014, the U.S. Trustee appointed the Official Committee of TCEH Unsecured Creditors in the Chapter 11 Cases [D.I. 420] (the “TCEH Committee”). The TCEH Committee is composed of the following members: (a) the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation; (b) HCL America, Inc.; (c) BNY, as Indenture Trustee under the EFCH 2037 Notes due 2037 and the PCRBs; (d) LDTC, as Indenture Trustee under the TCEH Unsecured Notes; (e) Holt Texas LTD, d/b/a Holt Cat; (f) ADA Carbon Solutions (Red River); and (g) Wilmington Savings, as Indenture Trustee under the TCEH Second Lien Notes [D.I. 420].

On September 16, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court approved the TCEH Committee’s retention of Morrison & Foerster LLP as counsel [D.I. 2064]. On October 17, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court approved the TCEH Committee’s retention of Polsinelli PC as co-counsel and conflicts counsel [D.I. 2491], and on October 20, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court approved the TCEH Committee’s retention of both Lazard Freres & Co. LLC (“Lazard”) as investment banker [D.I. 2509] and FTI Consulting, Inc. as financial advisor [D.I. 2507]. On December 7, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court approved the retention of Charles River Associates as an energy consultant [D.I. 3049].

 

  2. EFH Committee.

On October 27, 2014, the U.S. Trustee appointed the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in the Chapter 11 Cases representing the interests of the unsecured creditors for EFH, EFIH, EFIH Finance, Inc., and EECI, Inc. [D.I. 2570] (the “EFH Committee,” and collectively with the TCEH Committee, the “Creditors’ Committees”). The EFH Committee is composed of the following members: (a) American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC; (b) Brown & Zhou, LLC c/o Belleair Aviation, LLC; (c) Peter Tinkham; (d) Shirley Fenicle, as successor-in-interest to the Estate of George Fenicle; and (e) David William Fahy [D.I. 3403].

 

65


On January 12, 2015, the Bankruptcy Court approved the EFH Committee’s retention of Montgomery, McCracken, Walker & Rhodes, LLP as co-counsel and conflicts counsel [D.I. 3241] and AlixPartners, LLP as restructuring advisor [D.I. 3242]. On January 13, 2015, the Bankruptcy Court approved the EFH Committee’s retentions of Sullivan & Cromwell LLC as counsel [D.I. 3282], Guggenheim Securities as investment banker [D.I. 3276], and Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC as noticing agent for both the TCEH Committee and the EFH Committee [D.I. 3240].

 

  3. Appointment of Fee Committee.

Given the size and complexity of the Chapter 11 Cases, the U.S. Trustee proposed, and the Debtors and the TCEH Committee agreed, to recommend that the Bankruptcy Court appoint a committee (the “Fee Committee”) to, among other things, review and report as appropriate on fee applications and statements submitted by the professionals paid for by the Debtors’ Estates. The Fee Committee is comprised of four members: (a) one member appointed by and representative of the Debtors (Cecily Gooch, Vice President and Special Counsel for Restructuring, Energy Future Holdings); (b) one member appointed by and representative of the TCEH Creditors’ Committee (Peter Kravitz, Principal and General Counsel, Province Capital); (c) one member appointed by and representative of the U.S. Trustee (Richard L. Schepacarter, Trial Attorney, Office of the United States Trustee); and (d) one independent member (Richard Gitlin, of Gitlin and Company, LLC).

On August 21, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court entered a stipulation and order appointing the Fee Committee [D.I. 1896]. On September 16, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order authorizing the Fee Committee’s retention of Godfrey & Kahn, S.C. as counsel [D.I. 2065]. On January 9, 2015, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order authorizing the Fee Committee’s retention of Phillips, Goldman & Spence, P.A. as co-counsel to the Fee Committee [D.I. 3216].

 

C. First and Second Day Motions

 

  1. First Day Motions

 

  (a) Motion for Joint Administration of the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases.

On the Petition Date, the Debtors filed the Motion of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al., for Entry of an Order Directing Joint Administration of the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases [D.I. 17] (the “Joint Administration Motion”). The Debtors requested the joint administration of all of the Debtors’ cases under one consolidated caption. On May 1, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Joint Administration Motion on an interim basis [D.I. 287]. On June 5, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Joint Administration Motion, over certain objections, on a final basis [D.I. 849].

 

  (b) Cash Management.

On the Petition Date, the Debtors filed the Motion of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al., for Entry of an Order (A) Authorizing the Debtors to (I) Continue Using Their Existing Cash Management System, (II) Maintain Existing Bank Accounts and Business Forms, and (III) Continue Using Certain Investment Accounts; (B) Authorizing Continued Intercompany Transactions and Netting of Intercompany Claims; and (C) Granting Postpetition Intercompany Claims Administrative Expense Priority [D.I. 37] (the “Cash Management Motion”). Pursuant to the Cash Management Motion, the Debtors sought the authority to continue to operate their consolidated cash management system, maintain existing bank accounts, use business forms in their present form without reference to Debtors’ status as debtors in possession, continue to use certain investment accounts, close existing bank accounts and open new accounts, and continue certain intercompany and netting arrangements between and among the Debtors and their Debtor and non-Debtor affiliates on an administrative priority basis.

On May 1, 2014, the TCEH Unsecured Ad Hoc Group filed a limited preliminary objection to the Cash Management Motion [D.I. 230] asserting that the Debtors were attempting to use the Cash Management Motion to divert funds from the TCEH Debtors to other Debtors and allocate certain expenses to the TCEH Debtors. On May 30, 2014, the TCEH Committee filed a limited objection and reservation of rights [D.I. 677], reserving its rights to investigate and challenge certain postpetition intercompany transactions, including under the Shared Services Agreement and the Tax Sharing Agreements, and requesting that the Debtors provide notice and reporting of such intercompany transactions. Also on May 30, 2014, the TCEH Unsecured Ad Hoc Group filed a limited omnibus

 

66


objection [D.I. 681] to, among other motions, the Cash Management Motion, asserting, among other things, that the administration of the TCEH Debtors’ bank accounts by another Debtor subjected the TCEH Debtors to an unreasonable risk of loss, and that the rights of the TCEH Debtors and their creditors to challenge postpetition intercompany transactions under the Shared Services Agreements should be reserved.

The Debtors resolved the objections of the TCEH Unsecured Ad Hoc Group and the TCEH Committee by, among other things, including additional language reserving the rights of parties in interest to dispute the validity, amount, or priority of intercompany claims, including on account of the Shared Services Agreements and Tax Sharing Agreements, and agreeing to provide additional reporting of certain intercompany transactions.

The Bankruptcy Court granted the relief requested in the Cash Management Motion on an interim basis on May 2, 2014 [D.I. 304] and on a final basis on June 4, 2014 [D.I. 801].

 

  (c) Wages and Benefits.

On the Petition Date, the Debtors filed the Motion of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al., for Entry of Interim and Final Orders (A) Authorizing the Debtors to (I) Pay Certain Prepetition Compensation and Reimbursable Employee Expenses, (II) Pay and Honor Employee and Retiree Medical and Similar Benefits, and (C) Continue Employee and Retiree Benefit Programs, and (B) Modifying the Automatic Stay [D.I. 25] (the “Wages Motion”). Pursuant to the Wages Motion, the Debtors sought the authority to pay certain prepetition wages and honor certain prepetition employee benefit obligations (as well as pay certain administrative costs related to those wages and benefits) to ensure that their business operations could continue in the ordinary course. On May 29, 2014, the Debtors filed a supplement to the Wages Motion seeking relief from the automatic stay to settle labor grievances under the Debtors’ collective bargaining agreements and providing additional information regarding certain of the relief requested in connection with the Wages Motion [D.I. 629].

The Bankruptcy Court granted the relief requested in the Wages Motion on an interim basis on May 2, 2014 [D.I. 322], authorizing payment of prepetition amounts not to exceed $26,110,000, and on a final basis on June 4, 2014 [D.I. 786] authorizing the total payment of prepetition amounts not to exceed $30,605,000. The Debtors revised the final order to remove relief related to prepetition obligations owed to staffing providers affiliated with equity holders. The Debtors also requested authority to continue honoring obligations under their severance programs postpetition with payments not to exceed a cap of $15 million [D.I. 1231]. On June 30, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court approved a cap of $15 million on payments made in connection with the severance program and postpetition payments relating to independent director fees [D.I. 1311].

 

  (d) Taxes and Fees.

On the Petition Date, the Debtors filed the Motion of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al., for Entry of Interim and Final Orders Authorizing the Debtors to Pay Certain Prepetition Taxes and Fees [D.I. 23] (the “Taxes Motion”). Pursuant to the Taxes Motion, the Debtors sought the authority to pay certain taxes and fees that accrued or arose in the ordinary course of business before the Petition Date.

The Bankruptcy Court granted the relief requested in the Taxes Motion on an interim basis on May 2, 2014 [D.I. 320] authorizing payment of prepetition amounts not to exceed $80.74 million, and on a final basis on June 4, 2014 [D.I. 799], authorizing the total payment of prepetition amounts not to exceed $146.74 million.

On November 25, 2014, the Debtors filed the Motion of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al., for Entry of an Order Authorizing the Debtors to Settle and Pay Prepetition Property Taxes [D.I. 2894]. This motion sought authorization for the Debtors to make certain tax payments associated with prepetition property taxes, exceeding the cap set in the Taxes Motion but not exceeding an aggregate additional amount of $60 million. This relief would prevent the Debtors from being subject to tax liens and additional payments arising from the nonpayment of such taxes. On December 17, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court granted the relief requested [D.I. 3045].

 

  (e) Customer Programs.

On the Petition Date, the Debtors filed the Motion of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al., for Entry of (A) An Order Authorizing the Debtors to (I) Maintain and Administer Customer Programs and Customer Agreements, (II)

 

67


Honor Prepetition Obligations Related Thereto, (III) Pay Certain Expenses on Behalf of Certain Organizations, (IV) Fix the Deadline to File Proofs of Claim for Certain Customer Claims, and (V) Establish Procedures for Notifying Customers of Commencement of the Debtors Chapter 11 Cases, Assumption of Customer Agreement, and the Bar Date for Customer Claims and (B) An Order Authorizing Certain of the Debtors to Assume the Customer Agreements (the “Customer Programs Motion”). Pursuant to the Customer Programs Motion, the Debtors sought: (a) to honor certain prepetition obligations related to the customer programs and to continue the customer programs in the ordinary course of business in the postpetition period; (b) to fix a bar date (October 27, 2014 at 5:00 p.m. (prevailing Eastern Time)) (the “Customer Claims Bar Date”) for filing Proofs of Claim for any customer programs claims against any Debtor, including any cure amounts; (c) to establish noticing procedures to provide notice to current and former customers of commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases; and (d) authority for certain Debtors to assume all customer agreements with current customers.

On May 2, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court granted the relief requested in the Customer Programs Motion on an interim basis [D.I. 307], authorizing payments of up to $14 million for certain customer agreements, setting the Customer Claims Bar Date, and approving the noticing procedures with respect to the Customer Claims Bar Date.

On June 4, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court granted the relief requested in the Customer Programs Motion on a final basis, authorizing the assumption of customer agreements and performance of customer programs up to an aggregate amount of $135 million [D.I. 785].

 

  (f) Hedging and Trading Arrangements.

On the Petition Date, the Debtors filed the Motion of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al., for Entry of Interim and Final Orders Authorizing the Debtors to (A) Continue Performing Under Prepetition Hedging and Trading Arrangements, (B) Pledge Collateral and Honor Obligations Thereunder, and (C) Enter Into and Perform Under Trading Continuation Agreements and New Postpetition Hedging and Trading Arrangements (the “Hedging and Trading Arrangements Motion”). Pursuant to the Hedging and Trading Arrangements Motion, the Debtors sought authority to: (a) honor prepetition payment and collateral obligations under existing forward contracts and swap agreements to hedge their exposure to commodity risks, including price and delivery risk (collectively, the “Hedging and Trading Arrangements”) (subject to certain payment and collateral limitations on an interim basis and payment limitations on a final basis); (b) perform all postpetition obligations arising under the Hedging and Trading Arrangements; and (c) enter into and perform under new Hedging and Trading Arrangements on a postpetition basis. As the Debtors sought authority to pledge cash collateral and post DIP liens on account of the prepetition and postpetition Hedging and Trading Arrangements and as permitted under the TCEH Cash Collateral Final Order and the TCEH Final DIP Order, the relief sought in the Hedging and Trading Arrangements Motion dovetailed with the relief sought in the orders approving the TCEH Cash Collateral Motion and the TCEH DIP Motion.

On May 2, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court granted the relief requested in the Hedging and Trading Arrangements Motion on an interim basis [D.I. 315], authorizing payments of up to $50.8 million and collateral postings of up to $164.35 million, in each case to satisfy prepetition obligations, except with respect to new proprietary trading. On June 6, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court granted interim relief with respect to (a) existing proprietary trades and (b) new proprietary trades entered into for the purposes of mitigating losses associated with existing trades [D.I. 861]. On June 6, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court granted the relief requested in the Hedging and Trading Motion on a final basis, except with respect to new proprietary trades [D.I. 860].

On June 30, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court approved, on a final basis, the relief requested with respect to existing proprietary trades and new proprietary trades entered into for the purposes of mitigating losses associated with existing trades and approved relief to continue entering into and performing under new proprietary trades in the ordinary course of business [D.I. 1309].

On August 14, 2014, the Debtors filed the Motion of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al., for Entry of an Order Establishing Procedures for the Liquidation by Third Parties of Claims on Account of Certain Hedging and Trading Arrangements [D.I. 1838]. As certain counterparties to the Hedging and Trading Arrangements may be eligible for safe harbor under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors sought authority to establish procedures for liquidating claims arising from the termination of Hedging and Trading Arrangements under the safe harbor provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. On September 3, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the motion [D.I. 1957].

 

68


On November 6, 2014, the Debtors filed the Motion of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al., Clarifying Certain Relief Granted in the Non-Proprietary Trading Order and Seeking Entry of an Order Authorizing Certain Debtors to Enter Into Non-Proprietary Hedging and Trading Arrangements with a Tenor Beyond December 31, 2015 and Subject to Hedge and Tenor Limitations Consistent with Historical Practice [D.I. 2710]. This motion sought approval to enter into non-proprietary Hedging and Trading Arrangements with tenor extending beyond December 31, 2015. On November 20, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court granted the relief requested [D.I. 2832].

 

  (g) Critical Vendors.

On the Petition Date, the Debtors filed the Motion of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al., for Entry of Interim and Final Orders Authorizing Payment of Prepetition Critical Vendors Claims [D.I. 29] (the “Critical Vendors Motion”). Pursuant to the Critical Vendors Motion, the Debtors sought the authority to pay certain prepetition claims held by certain critical trade vendors that are essential to the Debtors’ ongoing business operations.

On May 2, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court granted the relief requested in the Critical Vendors Motion on an interim basis [D.I. 309], authorizing payments of up to $30 million. On July 2, 2014 [D.I. 1465], the Bankruptcy Court approved the relief requested in the Critical Vendors Motion on a final basis, authorizing payments up to $40 million. As of March 17, 2015, the Debtors have paid approximately $5 million to vendors under the Critical Vendors Motion.

 

  (h) Motion to Assume Transmission and Distribution Service Agreements.

On the Petition Date, the Debtors filed the Motion of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al., for Entry of (A) an Order Authorizing Certain of the Debtors to Pay Certain Prepetition Transition Charges and Delivery Charges and (B) An Order Authorizing Certain of the Debtors to Assume Transmission and Distribution Service Agreements [D.I. 38] (the “TDSP Motion”). Pursuant to the TDSP Motion, certain Debtors sought authority to assume the transmission and distribution service agreements (the “TDSPs”) and pay all prepetition amounts outstanding under those agreements. On May 2, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court granted the relief requested in the TDSP Motion authorizing those certain Debtors to pay up to $10 million and $26 million for certain unpaid prepetition transition charges and delivery charges, respectively [D.I. 318].

On June 4, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order authorizing certain Debtors to assume their transmission and distribution service agreements and pay all relevant cure costs [D.I. 784].

 

  2. TCEH Financing and Cash Collateral.

 

  (a) TCEH DIP Facility.

On the Petition Date, the TCEH Debtors filed the Motion of Texas Competitive Electric Holdings Company LLC and Certain of its Debtor Affiliates, for Entry of Interim and Final Orders (A) Approving Postpetition Financing, (B) Granting Liens and Providing Superpriority Administrative Expense Claims, (C) Modifying the Automatic Stay, and (D) Scheduling a Final Hearing [D.I. 73] (the “TCEH DIP Motion”) requesting authority for the TCEH Debtors to enter into a debtor-in-possession financing facility (the “TCEH DIP Facility”) to obtain up to $4.475 billion of postpetition financing, including (i) a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.95 billion (the “Revolver Facility”); (ii) a term credit facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.425 billion; and (iii) a delayed-draw term credit facility (the “Delayed-Draw Term Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.1 billion.

In addition to funding adequate protection payments, working capital (e.g., collateral for letters of credit), and other bankruptcy costs, the TCEH DIP Facility would also enable the Debtors to satisfy the requirement under section 12.309(j)(7) of the Texas Administrative Code (the “TAC”) to provide a collateral bond to the Railroad Commission of Texas (the “RCT”) to secure the Debtors’ mining reclamation obligations. The TCEH DIP Facility contemplated providing a collateral bond in the form of a super-priority RCT Carve Out (as defined herein), senior to any other obligations or liabilities of the Debtors, other than the professional fee carve out. The Debtors would not borrow under the Delayed-Draw Term Facility unless the RCT refused to accept the RCT Carve Out. In that circumstance, the proceeds of the Delayed-Draw Term Facility would be used to fund and support letters of credit for their reclamation obligations.

 

69


On May 29, 2014, the TCEH Committee and the TCEH Unsecured Notes Trustee each filed objections to the TCEH DIP Motion [D.I. 637, 648]. The TCEH Committee and the TCEH Unsecured Notes Trustee asserted, among other things, that the TCEH DIP Facility (i) is oversized in light of the TCEH Debtors’ ordinary course operations and chapter 11 expenses and (ii) prejudices unsecured creditors by granting liens and superpriority claims on substantially all of the TCEH assets, including unencumbered assets, to the TCEH DIP Facility lenders and TCEH prepetition secured creditors.

On May 30, 2014, the TCEH Unsecured Ad Hoc Group filed a supplemental omnibus objection [D.I. 678] asserting, among other things, that (i) the size of the TCEH DIP Facility is excessive in light of reductions made in adequate protection and business services payments, (ii) the provision of liens on and against the unencumbered assets, including proceeds of avoidance actions, is improper, and (iii) the proposed waivers included in the TCEH DIP Facility are inappropriate. To partially resolve the TCEH Unsecured Ad Hoc Group’s objections, the Debtors agreed to limit their borrowings under the Revolver Facility to $1.65 billion, with any additional borrowing up to $1.95 billion requiring either their consent or Bankruptcy Court approval.

The Bankruptcy Court granted the relief requested in the TCEH DIP Motion on an interim basis on May 2, 2014 [D.I. 325], and on a final basis, over those objections that were not resolved by the Debtors, on June 6, 2014 [D.I. 856] (the “TCEH DIP Final Order”). On July 11, 2014, the RTC accepted the RCT Carve Out to support the Debtors’ reclamation obligations, terminating the Delayed-Draw Term Facility and reducing the TCEH DIP Facility to $3.375 billion.

 

  (b) TCEH Cash Collateral.

On the Petition Date, the TCEH Debtors filed the Motion of Texas Competitive Electric Holdings Company LLC and Certain of its Debtor Affiliates for Entry of Interim and Final Orders (A) Authorizing Use of Cash Collateral, (B) Granting Adequate Protection, (C) Modifying the Automatic Stay, and (D) Scheduling a Final Hearing [D.I. 71] (the “TCEH Cash Collateral Motion”) requesting authority for the TCEH Debtors to use cash collateral and granting adequate protection to the First Lien Collateral Agent (as defined in the TCEH Cash Collateral Motion) and Prepetition First Lien Creditors (as defined in the TCEH Cash Collateral Motion). After negotiations, the TCEH First Lien Ad Hoc Committee consented to the priming liens under the TCEH DIP Motion and the use of cash collateral in exchange for the TCEH Debtors providing adequate protection against any diminution in value of the Prepetition First Lien Creditors’ interest in the prepetition collateral. The adequate protection granted to the Prepetition First Lien Creditors is composed of (i) adequate protection payments, (ii) superpriority claims, (iii) adequate protection liens, (iv) professional fees and records, and (v) a financial covenant. The TCEH Debtors also agreed to provide the Prepetition Second Lien Creditors (as defined in the TCEH Cash Collateral Motion) with junior replacement liens and superpriority claims.

On May 1, 2014, the TCEH Unsecured Ad Hoc Group filed a preliminary objection to the TCEH Cash Collateral Motion. The TCEH Unsecured Ad Hoc Group asserted, among other things, that the use of Prepetition First Lien Creditors’ cash collateral was tailored to complement the financing, as a further step in the direction of handing the TCEH Debtors over to the Prepetition First Lien Creditors. On May 30, 2014, the TCEH Unsecured Ad Hoc Group filed a supplemental omnibus objection.

On May 29, 2014, Aurelius Capital Management, LP (“Aurelius Capital”), the TCEH Committee (as defined herein), and the TCEH Unsecured Notes Trustee each filed an objection to the TCEH Cash Collateral Motion [D.I. 632, 641, 648]. Aurelius Capital argued that the TCEH Cash Collateral Motion inappropriately allocates first lien adequate protection payments among Prepetition First Lien Creditors because the current pro rata distribution is not in accordance with the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. Thus, Aurelius Capital argued that the TCEH Cash Collateral Motion provides for differential treatment among Prepetition First Lien Creditors. The TCEH Debtors agreed to escrow the disputed funds for determination at the appropriate time. Ultimately, the Bankruptcy Court overruled Aurelius Capital’s objection and approved the escrow provision.

The TCEH Committee, the TCEH Unsecured Ad Hoc Group, and the TCEH Unsecured Notes Trustee argued, among other things, that the adequate protection proposed in the TCEH Cash Collateral Motion is detrimental to unsecured creditors because it (i) is excessive by granting adequate protection liens and superpriority claims on substantially all of the TCEH unencumbered assets and monthly adequate protection payments, (ii) unduly limits the TCEH Committee’s budget and time to investigate the liens of, and any claims against, the Prepetition First Lien Creditors, and (iii) seeks to relinquish any rights surcharge the prepetition collateral under section 506(c) of the

 

70


Bankruptcy Code. The TCEH Debtors resolved certain of these objections by (i) excluding unencumbered assets, including avoidance actions and any proceeds thereof, from the collateral subject to adequate protection liens, and (ii) providing that the Prepetition Secured Creditors’ superpriority claims could be payable from and have recourse to unencumbered assets, but excluding avoidance actions and any proceeds thereof.

The Bankruptcy Court granted the relief requested in the TCEH Cash Collateral Motion on an interim basis on May 2, 2014 [D.I. 324], and on a final basis, over those objections that were not resolved by the Debtors, on June 6, 2014 [D.I. 855] (the “TCEH Cash Collateral Final Order”), but sustained the objections with respect to the waiver of the TCEH Debtors’ right to surcharge the Prepetition First Lien Creditors’ collateral under section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code. An effort by the TCEH Debtors to assert a 506(c) claim does, however, remain an event of default under the TCEH Cash Collateral Final Order.

 

  3. EFIH First Lien DIP and First Lien Repayment Motion.

On the Petition Date, the EFIH Debtors filed the Motion of Energy Future Intermediate Holding Company LLC and EFIH Finance, Inc. for Entry of (I) an Interim Order (A) Approving Certain Fees Related to Postpetition Financing and Granting Such Fees Administrative Expense Priority and (B) Scheduling a Final Hearing; and (II) a Final Order (A) Approving Postpetition Financing, (B) Granting Liens and Providing Superpriority Administrative Expense Claims, (C) Authorizing the Use of Cash Collateral, (D) Authorizing the EFIH First Lien Refinancing, (E) Authorizing Issuance of Roll-Up Debt to the Extent Authorized by the Settlement Motion, (F) Determining the Value of Secured Claims, and (G) Modifying the Automatic Stay [D.I. 74] (the “EFIH First Lien DIP Motion”). The EFIH First Lien DIP Motion requested authority for the EFIH Debtors to, among other things, enter into the EFIH First Lien DIP Facility, use cash collateral, and consummate the EFIH First Lien Repayment and the EFIH First Lien Settlement. The Debtors also filed supplemental declarations in support of the EFIH First Lien DIP Motion [D.I. 221, 610].

The EFIH First Lien DIP Facility is a term credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $5.4 billion with interest at LIBOR + 325 bps (with a LIBOR floor of 100 bps). The EFIH First Lien DIP Facility is secured on a first lien superpriority basis by substantially all of the EFIH Debtors’ assets that secured the EFIH Debtors’ obligations under the EFIH First Lien Notes, as well as previously unencumbered assets (including the proceeds of Avoidance Actions).

On May 1, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court granted the relief requested, approving certain commitment fees and other relief under the EFIH First Lien DIP Motion [D.I. 289].

The EFIH Debtors and certain objectors to the EFIH First Lien DIP Motion were able to resolve certain objections to the EFIH First Lien DIP Facility and, as a result, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the EFIH First Lien DIP Motion on a final basis on June 6, 2014 [D.I. 859]. Pursuant to that order, the EFIH Debtors were authorized to enter into the EFIH First Lien DIP Facility, consummate the EFIH First Lien Repayment, and take certain steps related thereto. The closing and funding of the EFIH First Lien DIP Facility were expressly conditioned upon the entry and effectiveness of the First Lien Settlement Order and the First Lien Settlement Order not having been stayed. The EFIH First Lien Settlement was approved on the same day [D.I. 858]. The EFIH First Lien DIP Facility was funded on June 19, 2014, and the EFIH Debtors consummated the EFIH First Lien Repayment and the EFIH First Lien Settlement on the same day.

On February 12, 2015, the EFIH Debtors and the agent and required lenders under the EFIH First Lien DIP Facility entered into a written consent to permit the EFIH Second Lien Partial Repayment and to permit a corresponding amendment of the order approving the EFIH First Lien DIP Facility. On March 6, 2015, the EFIH Debtors and the agent and required lenders under the EFIH First Lien DIP Facility entered into a second written consent to permit the filing of a revised proposed form of order approving the EFIH Partial Second Lien Repayment. The Bankruptcy Court entered the amended order approving the EFIH First Lien DIP Facility on March 10, 2015 [D.I. 3856].

 

D. Protocol for Certain Case Matters.

On September 16, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Stipulation and Agreed Order Regarding a Protocol for Certain Case Matters [D.I. 2051] (the “Case Protocol Order”). The Case Protocol Order provides, among other

 

71


things, authorization for disinterested directors at EFH, EFIH, and EFCH/TCEH to retain separate advisors with respect to conflicts matters, in consultation with the TCEH Committee, the indenture trustee for the TCEH Second Lien Notes, and the TCEH Unsecured Ad Hoc Group, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court. In addition, the Case Protocol Order required the TCEH Committee and the TCEH Unsecured Ad Hoc Group (together, the “TCEH Junior Creditors”) to identify the Claims for which they intend to seek standing by January 31, 2015 (a deadline that has since been extended to April 30, 2015 [D.I. 4012]). On April 30, 2015, the Debtors received the TCEH Creditors’ disclosures regarding material claims or causes of action for which each such TCEH Creditor intends to request standing and the Debtors are in the process of reviewing the merits, if any, of each asserted claim or cause of action. Further discussion of the TCEH Junior Creditors’ pursuit of standing is provided in Section IV.I of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Legacy Discovery,” which begins on page 79. The Case Protocol Order also provided that the TCEH Unsecured Ad Hoc Group agreed not to seek, or support any other party in seeking, either directly or indirectly, an examiner or trustee for any acts or omissions of the Debtors that occurred prior to the entry of the Case Protocol Order.

 

E. Retention of Professionals.

The Debtors filed applications and the Bankruptcy Court entered orders for the retention of various professionals to assist in carrying out their duties as debtors in possession and to represent their interests in the Chapter 11 Cases:

 

    Alvarez & Marsal North America, LLC, as restructuring advisor [D.I. 661, 2055];

 

    Deloitte & Touche LLP, as independent auditor [D.I. 656, 2617];

 

    Epiq Bankruptcy Solutions, LLC, as administrative advisor [D.I. 663, 2053];

 

    Evercore Group L.L.C., as financial advisor and investment banker [D.I. 651, 2056];

 

    Filsinger Energy Partners, as energy consultant [D.I. 650, 2057];

 

    Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, as special corporate and litigation counsel [D.I. 662, 2058];

 

    Kirkland & Ellis LLP, as restructuring co-counsel [D.I. 660, 2052];

 

    KPMG LLP, as bankruptcy accounting and tax advisors [D.I. 652, 2054, 3048];

 

    McDermott Will & Emery LLP, as special energy transactional counsel [D.I. 664, 2062];

 

    Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A., as restructuring co-counsel [D.I. 659, 2539];

 

    Sidley Austin LLP, as special corporate and litigation counsel [D.I. 665, 2060];

 

    Thompson & Knight LLP, as special tax counsel [D.I. 653, 2061];

 

    Balch & Bingham LLP, as special environmental counsel [D.I. 2344, 2563]; and

 

    Enoch Kever PLLC, as counsel for regulatory and legislative matters [D.I. 3960, 4134].

In addition to the above professionals, the Debtors also retained law firms and other professionals as “ordinary course professionals” to advise them with respect to certain of the Debtors’ daily business operations, including specialized litigation advice, litigation services, and business advisory services related to corporate financial, tax, regulatory, and environmental matters, in accordance with that order approving the Motion of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al., for Entry of an Order Authorizing the Retention and Compensation of Certain Professionals Utilized in the Ordinary Course of Business [D.I. 765].

On May 29, 2014, the Debtors filed the Motion of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al., for Entry of an Order Establishing Procedures for Interim Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses for Professionals [D.I. 658]

 

72


(the “Interim Compensation Motion”). On September 16, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the Interim Compensation Motion (the “Interim Compensation Order”) [D.I. 2066]. The Interim Compensation Order, along with the oversight provided by the Fee Committee, governs the compensation of retained professionals in the Chapter 11 Cases.

 

F. Motions Related to the Restructuring Support Agreement.

Before filing these chapter 11 cases, the Debtors worked diligently and tirelessly to reach a consensual restructuring agreement with their creditors. The result of these efforts, ultimately, was the Restructuring Support Agreement (and the signatories thereto, the “Restructuring Support Parties”) entered into by the Debtors and some, but not all, of the Debtors’ creditors on April 29, 2014. Under the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Debtors were to be deleveraged and deconsolidated. TCEH was to be “spun off” from EFH Corp. and receive a partial “step-up” in the tax basis of its assets as a result of the use of certain net operating losses, and receive certain operational assets and liabilities of the EFH Debtors that are associated with the operation of the TCEH business. Additionally, Reorganized EFH (under new ownership) and Reorganized EFIH would maintain their current corporate structure (under new ownership) and be significantly deleveraged as a result of this restructuring.

 

  1. Motion to Assume the Restructuring Support Agreement.

On May 16, 2014, the Debtors filed the Motion of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al., for Entry of an Order Authorizing the RSA Debtors to Assume the Restructuring Support Agreement and Modifying the Automatic Stay [D.I. 505] (the “RSA Assumption Motion”). In the RSA Assumption Motion, the Debtors requested entry of an order authorizing the Debtors to assume the Restructuring Support Agreement between certain Debtors and the Restructuring Support Parties.

Although the Debtors terminated the Restructuring Support Agreement on July 23, 2014, certain settlements contemplated by the Restructuring Support Agreement and the related Motion of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al., for Entry of Orders Approving Certain Settlements and the Oncor Electric TSA Amendment [D.I. 472] (the “Settlement Motion”) were approved by the Bankruptcy Court and implemented by the Debtors. The components of the Settlement Motion that were not approved before termination of the Restructuring Support Agreement were withdrawn by the Debtors.66

 

  2. EFIH Secured Settlements.

The EFIH First Lien Notes and the EFIH Second Lien Notes had significantly above-market interest rates. As a result, the EFIH Debtors’ sought to repay the EFIH First Lien Notes and the EFIH Second Lien Notes using the lower-cost EFIH First Lien DIP Facility.

In connection with the repayment of the EFIH First Lien Notes, holders of EFIH First Lien Notes that entered into the Restructuring Support Agreement, representing approximately 32% of the holders by amount, agreed to settle their makewhole claims. These holders included Fidelity, Pacific Investment Management Company, LLC (“PIMCO”), and Western Asset Management Company (“WAMCO”). In full satisfaction of their claims under the EFIH First Lien Notes, they received 105% of principal plus 101% of accrued interest through the date of consummation of the EFIH First Lien DIP Facility. Certain parties to the Restructuring Support Agreement, including Fidelity, PIMCO, WAMCO, and GSO Capital Partners, also agreed to participate in funding the EFIH First Lien DIP Facility in exchange for original issue discount, certain financing fees, or both.

Holders of EFIH Second Lien Notes that entered into the Restructuring Support Agreement, representing approximately 35% of the holders by amount, also agreed to settle their makewhole claims for cash equal to approximately 50% of the alleged amount plus payment in full of principal and accrued interest. These holders included Fidelity, GSO, York Capital Management LLC, and Avenue Capital Group.

 

66  As part of the Restructuring Support Agreement and in exchange for the Investment Commitment, under the Settlement Motion, the Debtors sought Bankruptcy Court approval of the Oncor TSA Amendment, which provided working capital to service EFIH’s restructuring-related costs, including servicing the EFIH Second Lien DIP Facility. Certain elements of the Restructuring Support agreement were contingent upon approval of the Oncor TSA Amendment. On July 25, 2014, and in connection with terminating the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Debtors withdrew the relief sought related to the Oncor TSA Amendment [D.I. 1697].

 

73


Shortly after the Petition Date, the EFIH Debtors opened the EFIH Secured Settlements to all holders of EFIH First Lien Notes and EFIH Second Lien Notes via two separate offers, announced in each case by posting a form 8-K, issuing a press release, and filing a notice with the Bankruptcy Court. The offer for the EFIH First Lien Notes launched on May 6, 2014 [D.I. 363] (the “EFIH First Lien Offer”). The offer for the EFIH Second Lien Notes launched on May 9, 2014 [D.I. 400] (the “EFIH Second Lien Offer,” and together with the EFIH First Lien Offer, the “EFIH Settlement Offers”). Both offers provided for a “step-down” in the consideration to be received with respect to parties that opted in after a certain date. In connection with the EFIH Settlement Offers, the Debtors sought approval of those certain dealer management agreements that provided for indemnities to the dealer managers conducting the EFIH Settlement Offers and the reimbursement for their legal expenses.

On May 14, 2014, the EFIH Second Lien Notes Trustee filed an emergency motion to compel the Debtors to obtain prior approval of procedures governing the EFIH Second Lien Offer [D.I. 441]. On May 15, 2014, the EFIH First Lien 2020 Notes Trustee filed a similar motion with respect to the EFIH First Lien Offer [D.I. 461]. After the Debtors objected to these motions on May 20, 2014 [D.I. 552], the parties settled.

 

  (a) Approval of EFIH First Lien Settlement.

On May 31, 2014, the EFIH First Lien 2020 Notes Trustee filed an objection to the Settlement Motion with regards to the EFIH First Lien Settlement [D.I. 694]. The EFIH First Lien 2020 Notes Trustee asserted that the Settlement Motion should not be approved because (i) the EFIH First Lien Settlement treated identical claims differently; (ii) the EFIH First Lien Offer was not permitted by the Bankruptcy Code, and even if allowed, was not in compliance with applicable securities laws; and (iii) the settlement under the EFIH First Lien Settlement under the Restructuring Support Agreement was a sub rosa plan.

On June 6, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order, over those objections not resolved by the Debtors, approving the EFIH First Lien Settlement [D.I. 858]. On June 9, 2012, the EFIH First Lien 2020 Notes Trustee filed a notice of appeal [D.I. 873] and an emergency motion for stay of the Bankruptcy Court’s order approving the EFIH First Lien Settlement to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware.67 The District Court denied the motion for a stay, finding that the EFIH First Lien 2020 Notes Trustee had not demonstrated that it would suffer irreparable harm if the stay was not granted [Dist. Ct. D.I. 11].

On June 11, 2014, the EFIH First Lien Offer expired, increasing total participation in the EFIH First Lien Settlement to approximately 42% of holders of EFIH First Lien Notes by amount. The Bankruptcy Court order approving the EFIH First Lien Settlement went effective on June 12, 2014. The EFIH Debtors consummated the EFIH First Lien Settlement on June 19, 2014.

On June 25, 2014, the EFIH First Lien 2020 Notes Trustee filed a motion for certification of a direct appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit [D.I. 1123]. On July 9, 2014, the Debtors filed an opposition to the motion for certification [D.I. 1529]. On July 14, 2014, the District Court entered an order denying the motion [Dist. Ct. D.I. 19].

On February 19, 2015, the District Court entered an order affirming the Bankruptcy Court’s order approving the EFIH First Lien Settlement [Dist. Ct. D.I. 50]. On March 6, 2015, the EFIH First Lien 2020 Notes Trustee appealed the District Court’s decision to the Third Circuit [Dist. Ct. D.I. 51]. On July 6, 2015, the EFIH First Lien 2020 Notes Trustee filed its opening brief [3d Cir. D.I. 003112010094]. On August 5, 2015, EFIH filed its response brief [3d Cir. D.I. 003112037632], and PIMCO also filed a brief as an Intervenor-Appellee [3d Cir. D.I. 003112037643]. The EFIH First Lien 2020 Notes Trustee’s reply brief is due August 19, 2015. Oral argument on the appeal has not yet been scheduled.

  3. EFIH Second Lien DIP Motion.

On May 15, 2014, the EFIH Debtors filed the Motion of Energy Future Intermediate Holding Company LLC and EFIH Finance Inc. for Entry of an Order (A) Approving Postpetition Second Lien Financing, (B) Granting Liens and Providing Superpriority Administrative Expense Claims, (C) Authorizing the Use of Cash Collateral, (D) Authorizing the EFIH Second Lien Repayment, and (E) Authorizing Entry Into and Payment of Fees Under the Commitment Letter, and (F) Modifying the Automatic Stay [D.I. 477] (the “EFIH Second Lien DIP Motion”). Pursuant to the EFIH Second Lien DIP Motion, the EFIH Debtors requested the authority to, among other things, enter into a $1.9 billion EFIH second lien debtor-in-possession financing facility (the “EFIH Second Lien DIP Facility”), funded by certain Holders of EFIH unsecured 11.25%/12.25% Senior Toggle Notes Due 2018 (the “EFIH PIK Group”), and repay the EFIH Second Lien Notes in full.

The EFIH Debtors received various alternative proposals with respect to the EFIH Second Lien DIP Facility after the EFIH Second Lien DIP Motion was filed. Certain Holders of EFIH Second Lien Notes made several proposals, including one in conjunction with a commitment from NextEra Energy, Inc. (“NextEra”), a company that owns transmission and distribution assets in the Texas electricity market. Similarly, certain Holders of EFIH First Lien Notes put forward a proposal, and the EFIH PIK Group revised the terms of their original proposal. Each of these proposals contained economic terms that were superior to the original EFIH Second Lien DIP Facility, and NextEra responded by offering superior terms with respect to the original proposed EFIH Second Lien DIP Facility.

Various parties filed objections to the EFIH Second Lien DIP Motion [D.I. 1060, 1066, 1067, 1068, 1071, 1078, 1090] and joinders to those objections [D.I. 1079, 1083, 1098, 1106], alleging, among other things, that the EFIH Second Lien DIP Facility should not be approved due to a flawed negotiation process and unfavorable lending terms. The EFIH First Lien Notes Trustee also alleged that the repayment of the EFIH Second Lien Notes and the settlement contemplated by the EFIH Second Lien Offer would violate the terms of the EFIH Collateral Trust Agreement. On June 27, 2014, the EFIH Debtors filed an omnibus reply to those objections [D.I. 1192].

 

  4. The Termination of the Restructuring Support Agreement and Withdrawal of the EFIH Second Lien Settlement and the Second Lien DIP Motion.

On June 23 and 24, 2014, various parties filed objections to the Settlement Motion with regards to the EFIH Second Lien Settlement [D.I. 1066, 1067, 1068, 1071, 1078, 1090], and joinders to those objections [D.I. 1079, 1083, 1098, 1106], alleging, among other things, that the EFIH Second Lien Settlement was unreasonable and not in the best interests of the Debtors and their estates, violated the Bankruptcy Code by treating similarly situated creditors differently, and constituted a sub rosa plan.

After the Debtors terminated the Restructuring Support Agreement on July 24, 2014, the Debtors withdrew the EFIH Second Lien Offer, the remaining relief requested in the Settlement Motion, and the EFIH Second Lien DIP Motion [D.I. 1697].

The Debtors believe that the Restructuring Support Agreement provided significant benefit to the Debtors and the Chapter 11 Cases. Among other things, it allowed the Debtors to obtain the support of the Holders of TCEH First Lien Claims for approval of the TCEH DIP Facility and for 18 months of cash collateral use with no milestones. It also provided the framework for a restructuring transaction at EFIH and EFH Corp., which prompted proposals from potential buyers and ultimately led to the formulation and approval of the Bidding Procedures.

 

G. Exploring the EFH/EFIH Transaction

 

  1. Approval of Bidding Procedures.

Following the termination of the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Debtors worked diligently with their advisors to develop a process to maximize estate recoveries resulting from the bidding that began while the Restructuring Support Agreement was still in place.

On September 19, 2014, the Debtors filed the Motion of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al., for Entry of an Order (A) Approving Bidding Procedures, (B) Scheduling an Auction and Related Deadlines and Hearings, and (C)

 

75


Approving the Form and Manner of Notice Thereof [D.I. 2087] (the “Bidding Procedures Motion”). In the Bidding Procedures Motion, the Debtors requested, among other things, approval of the Bidding Procedures. The Bidding Procedures did not require bids to conform to any particular tax or transactional structure. The Bidding Procedures Motion contemplated an extended, sealed bidding process to identify a stalking horse bidder (the “Stalking Horse Bidding Process”). After selecting a stalking horse bidder, the Bidding Procedures Motion contemplated that the Debtors would file a motion with the Bankruptcy Court seeking approval of the stalking horse bid, followed by a period of open bidding culminating in an auction.

On October 10, 2014, the EFIH First Lien DIP Agent and the Ad Hoc Committee of EFIH Unsecured Noteholders filed responses in support of the Bidding Procedures Motion [D.I. 2374, 2390].

Also on October 10, 2014, several parties filed objections and joinders to objections to the Bidding Procedures Motion [D.I. 2368, 2377, 2379, 2385, 2389, 2392, 2395, 2446] alleging, among other things, that the Bankruptcy Court should not allow a sealed bidding process, that the Bidding Procedures would be determinative of the sale and reorganization outcome and constituted a sub rosa plan, that the Debtors lacked corporate authority to file the Bidding Procedures Motion, and that the Bidding Procedures Motion should be subject to heightened scrutiny.

On October 14, 2014, the Debtors filed an omnibus reply to those objections, arguing (a) that the motion was for narrowly-tailored procedural relief, (b) that the Bidding Procedures were proposed in good faith, in accordance with the Debtors’ business judgment, and that the procedures satisfied the business judgment standard, and (c) that the objecting parties’ requested modifications were unnecessary and/or inappropriate [D.I. 2447].

The Bankruptcy Court held a four-day hearing regarding the Bidding Procedures Motion. The Debtors presented testimony from certain officers and disinterested directors and managers and from the Debtors’ financial advisor, Evercore, and several of these witnesses were subject to cross examination from a number of creditor constituencies. In addition, the TCEH Committee also presented its own investment banker to testify regarding the Bidding Procedures Motion.

On November 3, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court issued a bench ruling conditionally approving the Bidding Procedures Motion dependent on specific modifications to the Bidding Procedures. First, the Debtors were required to extend the Stalking Horse Bidding Process to provide sufficient time for the development of bids, including those under alternative structures. Second, the Debtors were required to obtain formal approval of the modified Bidding Procedures from each of the Debtors’ respective boards of directors, including the disinterested directors and managers. Third, both the TCEH Committee and the EFH Committee were granted limited participation rights in the Stalking Horse Bidding Process, which would otherwise remain sealed. Fourth, the Bankruptcy Court ruled that material modifications to the Bidding Procedures required either consent from both the TCEH Committee and the EFH Committee or approval by the Bankruptcy Court.

On January 14, 2015, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Bidding Procedures Order, approving the revised Bidding Procedures that comported with its bench ruling.

 

  2. Marketing Process Under Bidding Procedures.

After entry of the Bidding Procedures Order, the Debtors circulated a process letter to approximately 50 potential strategic and financial bidders as well as the professionals for nine of the Debtors’ largest creditor constituencies. The process letter explained the opportunity to bid for the Debtors’ economic interests in Oncor Electric and invited the potential bidders to submit nonbinding letters of intent and illustrative term sheets to the Debtors (“Round 1 Bids”) by March 2, 2015 (the “Round 1 Bid Deadline”). Enclosed with the process letter was the Bidding Procedures Order.

Approximately 15 potential bidders ultimately signed nondisclosure agreements and gained electronic access to the data room. The data room contains customary information regarding the Debtors and Oncor Electric. In addition to providing access to this data room, the Debtors responded to diligence requests and inquiries, held question-and-answer sessions, and arranged meetings with Oncor Electric management.

On March 2, 2015, the Round 1 Bid Deadline expired. After the Round 1 Bid Deadline, the Debtors circulated drafts of transaction documents to the bidders (noting that any alternative transaction or tax structure could

 

76


be proposed), informed them that they would advance to Round 2, and requested that the bidders submit an initial mark-up of the documents. At the request of one of the bidders, the Debtors extended the deadline for submission of initial mark-ups to the definitive documents (the “Initial Mark-Up Deadline”) from March 16, 2015 to March 23, 2015 with the consent of the TCEH Committee and EFH Committee.

On March 23, 2015, the Initial Mark-Up Deadline expired, and the Debtors received mark-ups from all bidders that submitted Round 1 Bids. After reviewing and analyzing the mark-ups, the Debtors held meetings with each of the bidders and communicated preliminary high-level issues regarding the mark-ups. The Debtors encouraged the bidders to address these preliminary issues in advance of the April 13, 2015 deadline (the “Round 2 Bid Deadline”) for the submission of transaction documents (“Round 2 Bids”).

On April 13, 2015, the Round 2 Bid Deadline expired, and the Debtors received multiple Round 2 Bids. After the Round 2 Bid Deadline expired, the Debtors began negotiating the definitive documentation of a stalking horse bid (the “Stalking Horse Bid”). The Bidding Procedures Order contemplated that, within 10 Business Days after execution of the definitive documents regarding a Stalking Horse Bid, the Debtors would file a motion for Bankruptcy Court approval of the Stalking Horse Bid. After Bankruptcy Court approval of the Stalking Horse Bid, the Bidding Procedures Order contemplated that the Debtors would conduct a 30-day open marketing process followed by an auction to select a successful bid, which would be subject to Bankruptcy Court approval at a subsequent hearing.

The Bidding Procedures expressly state that the Debtors are not prohibited from taking any action, or refraining from taking any action, with respect to the Bidding Procedures to the extent the board of directors or managers of a Debtor determines that taking or refraining from taking such action is required to comply with applicable law or its fiduciary obligations under applicable law. The Bidding Procedures are also subject to material modification with the consent of the TCEH Committee and the EFH Committee not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or by approval of the Bankruptcy Court (which approval may be sought on an in camera basis), following notice to the TCEH Committee and EFH Committee.

The Debtors worked towards selecting a stalking horse after reviewing the bids received in connection with the Round 2 Bid Deadline, and would thereafter have filed a motion seeking approval of such Stalking Horse Bid. After numerous discussions and the exchange of revised documentation with bidders, the Debtors were unable to reach agreement on a sufficiently attractive Stalking Horse Bid and, as of the filing of this revised Disclosure Statement, have opted not to move forward with a Stalking Horse Bid at this time.

 

  3. Negotiations with Creditors Regarding Potential Restructuring Transactions.

In parallel with the Debtors’ efforts regarding the auction process, the Debtors engaged in discussions with creditor constituencies regarding amendments and modifications to the Plan filed on April 14, 2015. As described below, the impetus for these discussions has been the potential of the REIT Reorganization. These discussions have resulted in the Plan, which contemplates the Merger, as described herein and in the Plan.

 

  (a) REIT Discussions and Due Diligence

Interest in restructuring Oncor Electric to permit Reorganized EFH (or a successor entity) to qualify for taxation as a REIT increased significantly beginning in early 2015. A REIT is a hybrid tax entity that, although treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is able to reduce or eliminate substantially all of the entity-level federal income taxes otherwise imposed on corporations by distributing its taxable income to shareholders. In 2007, the IRS issued a private letter ruling to an unrelated third party that held that an electric transmission and distribution system satisfied certain of the REIT requirements. On January 30, 2015, InfraREIT, Inc. (“InfraREIT”) the transmission and distribution REIT that was the subject of that private letter ruling, completed an initial public offering.

Where an existing business, like Oncor Electric, holds both substantial real estate assets and a significant operating business, the implementation of a REIT structure would generally include a separation of the two businesses into an “OpCo,” or operating company, and a “PropCo,” or property company. Critical components of this restructuring would take place at the Oncor Electric level, inside the “ring fence,” and the Debtors do not control these ring-fenced entities. For more information regarding the ring fence, refer to Section II.B.4.b. of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “The Ring-Fencing Measures,” which begins on page 33. Assuming satisfaction of the extensive requirements to qualify for such treatment under federal tax law, the entity that elected REIT status will generally not

 

77


be subject to entity-level federal income tax so long as it distributes substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders every year. There are, however, material risks associated with the REIT Reorganization. For more information regarding these risks, refer to Section VIII.E of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Risks Related to the REIT Reorganization” which begins on page 163 and Section X.D. of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Certain REIT Structure Considerations” which begins on page 187.

Beginning in early 2015, the Debtors and Oncor Electric commenced a rigorous due diligence process with respect to a potential REIT Reorganization while facilitating simultaneous creditor due diligence efforts. The Debtors and Oncor Electric engaged in and facilitated numerous discussions regarding a potential REIT Reorganization with Oncor Electric management, including calls with Oncor Electric management and stakeholders. Advisors to the Debtors and Oncor Electric have also engaged in numerous discussions regarding a potential REIT Reorganization with tax professionals to various stakeholders. In conjunction with these due diligence efforts, the Debtors and Oncor Electric made data and documents regarding the REIT Reorganization available in their data room, which is accessible to bidders in the Stalking Horse Bidding Process and stakeholders that have signed nondisclosure agreements.

The Merger is an outgrowth of the due diligence efforts related to a potential REIT conversion. In connection with the diligence provided regarding the potential for the REIT Reorganization, the TCEH Unsecured Ad Hoc Group and Hunt Consolidated, Inc. (“Hunt”) began engaging with the Debtors regarding potential opportunities to capitalize on the value that may be unlocked by a successful REIT Reorganization. Discussions regarding a potential merger and new-money investment in exchange for New EFH Common Stock and the transactions necessary to execute such a new-money investment coalesced in June 2015.

As part of these discussions, the TCEH Committee, the TCEH Unsecured Ad Hoc Group, Hunt, and the Debtors explored various options for using the contemplated transaction to resolve other outstanding restructuring issues. In connection with these efforts, the parties engaged with the TCEH First Lien Ad Hoc Committee and the Holders of Interests in EFH Corp. regarding, among other things, the TCEH Settlement Claim (with respect to which certain issues were left open in the Plan and Disclosure Statement filed on April 14, 2015), the TCEH First Lien Investigation, and certain Claims that may be asserted against the Holders of Interests in EFH Corp.

Negotiations on the transaction (and the terms thereof), the terms and provisions governing efforts to consummate the REIT Reorganization, and the settlement of Claims by and against the Debtors as may be asserted by and against various parties, intensified over the last several weeks. Ultimately, on August 9, 2015, the Debtors and the parties to the Equity Investment and Plan Support Agreement executed the definitive documents necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Plan, including the Merger and Purchase Agreement, the Backstop Commitment, and the Equity Commitment Letter, and the Settlement Agreement.

The Debtors may withdraw the Plan if the Debtors determine that pursuing Confirmation and Consummation of the Plan would be inconsistent with any Debtor’s fiduciary duties.

 

H. Retention of Conflicts Matter Advisors.

On November 3, 2014, after a four-day hearing on the Bidding Procedures Motion, the Bankruptcy Court entered a bench ruling noting that actual (though not fatal) conflicts exist between the Debtors’ estates with respect to the auction process for the sale of economic interests in Oncor Electric. Before this ruling, the Debtors and their significant constituencies had been actively discussing the potential need for certain Debtors to retain conflicts counsel during these Chapter 11 Cases and the process by which that would happen, pursuant to the Case Protocol Order. Following this ruling, the Debtors’ disinterested directors and managers sought the retention of legal counsel and other professionals to represent the respective estates’ interests with regards to any actual conflicts matters.

On November 7, 2014, the Debtors filed a notice indicating that each of EFH, EFIH and TCEH was in the process of retaining counsel to advise the applicable Debtor regarding actual conflicts matters, in accordance with the Case Protocol Order [D.I. 2718]. Ultimately, each of EFH, EFIH, and TCEH filed the following retention applications and the Bankruptcy Court approved the retention of conflicts matter counsel and professionals for their respective estates:

 

    EFH - Proskauer Rose LLP, as counsel [D.I. 3037, 3281];

 

78


    EFH - O’Kelly, Ernst & Bielli LLP, as Delaware counsel [D.I. 3038, 3280];

 

    EFH - SOLIC Capital Advisors, LLC, as financial advisor [D.I. 3324, 3467];

 

    EFIH - Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, as counsel [D.I. 3203, 3321];

 

    EFIH - Goldin Associates, LLC, as special financial advisor [D.I. 3062, 3277];

 

    EFIH - Jenner & Block LLP, as counsel [D.I. 4792, 4945];

 

    EFIH - Stevens & Lee LLP, as Delaware counsel [D.I. 3038, 3278];

 

    TCEH - Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP, as counsel [D.I. 3040, 3279];

 

    TCEH - Greenhill & Co., LLC, as financial advisor [D.I. 3062, 3283]; and

 

    TCEH - McElroy, Deutsch, Mulvaney & Carpenter, LLP [D.I. 3517, 3835].

 

I. Legacy Discovery.

On August 13, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order [D.I. 1832] allowing creditors to pursue document and deposition discovery with respect to a broad list of “legacy” topics concerning various prepetition transactions and issues, including, but not limited to: any intercompany claims; transactions with the Sponsor Group; and the competitive tax sharing agreement and payments under that agreement (the “Legacy Discovery”).

In April 2015, the Debtors completed their obligations with respect to the Initial Consolidated Requests (in accordance with, and as defined in, the order entered by the Bankruptcy Court governing Legacy Discovery [D.I. 1832], as amended (the “Legacy Discovery Protocol”). The breadth and magnitude of the Legacy Discovery efforts were immense. The Debtors received 212 individual document requests covering an expansive range of topics for a broad time period, in some cases reaching back more than 15 years prepetition. The Debtors engaged in consistent and continuous good-faith negotiations with creditor representatives concerning the breadth and scope of the Legacy Discovery requests and the Debtors’ efforts included, but were not limited to, running more than 350 search terms against more than 35 custodians; collecting, reviewing and producing documents from dozens of custodians—including company personnel and other third parties—for a vast time period; and conducting numerous targeted collections to identify potentially responsive documents on specific topics. In connection with Legacy Discovery, the Debtors produced over 800,000 documents, totaling more than 5.6 million pages, in less than eight months. The Sponsor Group and other parties-in-interest likewise made very substantial document productions in response to Initial Consolidated Requests and follow-up requests.

On April 30, 2015, each TCEH creditor disclosed any material claims or causes of action for which it intends to request standing and the Debtors are in the process of reviewing the merits, if any, of each asserted claim or cause of action. Certain of these claims will be released under the Plan, as discussed below in Section V.H of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Settlement, Release, Injunction, and Related Provisions,” which begins on page 121. Each creditor must file its respective standing motion for any such claims or causes of action no later than the later of September 30, 2015 and fifteen days after approval of this Disclosure Statement (or unless otherwise agreed).68

 

J. TCEH First Lien Investigation.

Under the TCEH Cash Collateral Order, the Debtors stipulated to, among other things, the validity of the obligations and liens related to the TCEH First Lien Debt and certain transactions including, but not limited to: the 2007 Acquisition, the 2013 extension of the TCEH Credit Agreement, and the avoidance of unperfected liens and security interests (collectively, the “TCEH First Lien Investigation Claims”). The Debtors have provided substantial discovery to, among others, the TCEH Committee and the Ad Hoc TCEH Unsecured Noteholder Group regarding their investigation into the TCEH First Lien Investigation Claims.

 

68  Certain of the material claims or causes of action that the TCEH creditors may choose to seek standing to prosecute have been identified in the Standing Motions.

 

79


All other parties were bound by these stipulations as well unless such parties obtained standing and filed an adversary proceeding to avoid, object to, or otherwise challenge the TCEH First Lien Investigation Claims by March 13, 2015 (the “Challenge Deadline”). Consequently, on February 20, 2015, the TCEH Committee, the EFH Committee, and the TCEH Unsecured Ad Hoc Group each filed motions seeking standing to prosecute and investigate the TCEH First Lien Investigation Claims, and the exclusive authority to settle the TCEH First Lien Investigation Claims (the “Standing Motions”). On March 3, 2015, the Debtors filed an omnibus objection to the Standing Motions seeking a ruling (a) extending the Challenge Deadline, with the consent of the TCEH First Lien Ad Hoc Committee and the Prepetition First Lien Agents (as defined in the TCEH Cash Collateral Order), thus deferring a ruling on the Standing Motions or, in the alternative (b) granting the TCEH Committee authority to prosecute the TCEH First Lien Investigation Claims but preserving the Debtors’ exclusive right to settle the TCEH First Lien Investigation Claims [D.I. 3726].

In addition to the Debtors, Wilmington Trust, as successor TCEH first lien administrative agent and successor TCEH first lien collateral agent, and the TCEH First Lien Ad Hoc Committee each filed an omnibus objection to the Standing Motions [D.I. 3731 and 3732, respectively]. CCP Credit Acquisition Holdings, L.L.C., Centerbridge Special Credit Partners, L.P., and Centerbridge Special Credit Partners, II, L.P., collectively in their capacity as a TCEH first lien noteholder, filed an objection to the TCEH Committee’s Standing Motion [D.I. 3729]. Law Debenture Trust Company of New York, in its capacity as indenture trustee under the TCEH unsecured notes, filed an objection to the EFH Committee’s Standing Motion [D.I. 3741]. Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, in its capacity as TCEH Second Lien Notes successor indenture trustee, filed an objection to the EFH Committee’s and the TCEH Unsecured Ad Hoc Group’s Standing Motions [D.I. 3725]. The TCEH Unsecured Ad Hoc Group filed an objection to the EFH Committee’s Standing Motion [D.I. 3734]. The TCEH Committee filed a response to the EFH Committee’s and the TCEH Unsecured Ad Hoc Group’s Standing Motions [D.I. 3733].

On March 10, 2015, the Debtors, with the consent of the TCEH First Lien Ad Hoc Committee and the Prepetition First Lien Agents (as defined in the TCEH Cash Collateral Order), filed the Stipulation and Consent Order Extending Certain Deadlines in the Final Cash Collateral Order [D.I. 3857], extending the Challenge Deadline to April 17, 2015. Consequently, with the consent of the parties to the Standing Motions, the Bankruptcy Court adjourned the Standing Motions (and the related responses and objections) to the April 14, 2015 omnibus hearing. The Standing Motions were subsequently adjourned to a hearing to take place on July 9, 2015.

On April 1, 2015, the TCEH Committee, the EFH Committee, the Ad Hoc Group of Unsecured Noteholders, and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB filed replies to the various objections to the Standing Motions [D.I. 4031, 4034, 4045, and 4029, respectively].

In connection with the TCEH Scheduling Stipulation (described herein) and as stated on the record at the June 25, 2015 scheduling conference regarding the Confirmation Scheduling Order, the parties to the Standing Motions have consented to adjourn the hearing on the Standing Motions to August 11, 2015 (which have since been adjourned to September 17, 2015 pursuant to the Plan Support Agreement). On July 8, 2015, the Debtors, with the consent of the TCEH First Lien Ad Hoc Committee and the Prepetition First Lien Agents (as defined in the Cash Collateral Order) filed the Stipulation and Consent Order Extending Certain Deadlines in the Final Cash Collateral Order [D.I. 4948], extending the Challenge Deadline to September 10, 2015. The Bankruptcy Court approved the relief requested on July 10, 2015 [D.I. 4958].

 

K. Makewhole Litigation.

The Debtors have commenced litigation with respect to Holders of EFIH First Lien Notes that did not enter into the EFIH First Lien Settlement regarding their respective Makewhole Claims.

 

  1. EFIH First Lien Makewhole Adversary Proceeding.

As discussed in Section IV.C.3 of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “EFIH First Lien DIP and First Lien Repayment Motion,” which begins on page 71, in the EFIH First Lien DIP Motion, the Debtors initiated a contested matter requesting that the Bankruptcy Court hold that no EFIH First Lien Makewhole Claim was due on account of the EFIH First Lien Repayment.

 

80


On May 15, 2014, the EFIH First Lien Notes Trustee, solely in its capacity as indenture trustee under the EFIH First Lien 2020 Notes, filed a complaint (the “First Lien Makewhole Complaint”), initiating an adversary proceeding in the Bankruptcy Court (Case No. 14-50363) (the “First Lien Makewhole Complaint”) against the EFIH Debtors seeking a declaration that the EFIH Debtors are obligated to pay the Makewhole Claims in connection with the EFIH First Lien Repayment. The First Lien Makewhole Complaint further requests that such Makewhole Claims be treated as secured claims against the EFIH Debtors and seeks certain other amounts related to indemnifications, interest, and other disputed amounts.

The EFIH Debtors answered the First Lien Makewhole Complaint on June 13, 2014 [Adversary D.I. 33]. The EFIH Debtors reject the EFIH First Lien Notes Trustee’s claims and will vigorously contest the First Lien Makewhole Complaint. On September 12, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order that will bifurcate this adversary proceeding into two phases [Adversary D.I. 128]. The first phase will determine whether the non-settling Holders of EFIH First Lien Notes are entitled to recover makewhole premiums and related amounts. The second phase will address whether the EFIH Debtors are solvent and, if so, the amount of any recovery for the non-settling Holders of EFIH First Lien Notes. Both parties moved for summary judgment in the first phase, and a summary judgment hearing was held on March 13, 2015. On March 26, 2015, the Bankruptcy Court issued Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law granting summary judgment to EFIH on the Makewhole Claims, as well as other claims, and denying the EFIH First Lien Notes Trustee summary judgment on the same [Adversary D.I. 245], with respect to which the EFIH First Lien Notes Trustee filed a notice of appeal on July 17, 2015 [D.I. 5035] (the “Notice of Appeal”). The Bankruptcy Court granted summary judgment “without prejudice” on one count of the EFIH First Lien Notes Trustee’s complaint, the outcome of which is likely to be determined by the outcome of the First Lien Lift Stay Motion (as defined and discussed immediately below).

 

  2. EFIH First Lien Automatic Stay Motion.

The EFIH First Lien Notes Trustee and certain Holders of EFIH First Lien 2020 Notes (the “Objecting First Lien 2020 Note Parties”) filed the Joint Motion of CSC Trust Company of Delaware, as Indenture Trustee, and Certain EFIH 10% First Lien Noteholders, for Confirmation that the Automatic Stay Does Not Apply or, Alternatively, for Limited Relief from the Automatic Stay, Solely Regarding Rescission of Acceleration [D.I. 473] (the “First Lien Lift Stay Motion”). The Objecting First Lien 2020 Parties argue that under the terms of the EFIH First Lien 2020 Notes Indenture the automatic stay does not prevent rescinding the acceleration of the EFIH First Lien 2020 Notes. Accordingly, such parties argue that they are entitled to rescind the acceleration of the EFIH First Lien 2020 Notes and that, as a result, the EFIH First Lien Repayment requires the payment of the EFIH First Lien Makewhole Claims asserted by holders of EFIH First Lien 2020 Notes. On June 4, 2014, CSC sent the EFIH Debtors a letter purporting to waive events of default under the EFIH First Lien 2020 Notes that were caused by the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases and rescind acceleration under the EFIH First Lien 2020 Notes, subject to certain conditions and qualifications (the “Rescission Letter”).

The EFIH Debtors believe that any attempt to decelerate the EFIH First Lien 2020 Notes (including pursuant to the Rescission Letter) violates the automatic stay of section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and is otherwise invalid and of no effect. The automatic stay issues were briefed as part of the parties’ motions for summary judgment and argued during the March 13, 2015 summary judgment hearing. The Bankruptcy Court ruled that the Holders of EFIH First Lien 2020 Notes’ attempt to decelerate the EFIH First Lien 2020 Notes violated the automatic stay. The Bankruptcy Court did not rule on summary judgment on the question of whether cause existed to lift the stay nunc pro tunc.

On April 20-22, 2015, the Court held a trial on whether to lift the automatic stay nunc pro tunc. The parties submitted post-trial briefs [Adversary D.I. 293, 294] and proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law on May 20, 2015, [Adversary D.I. 292, 295]. On July 8, 2015, the Bankruptcy Court issued its Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law holding that no cause exists to lift the automatic stay, [Adversary D.I. 304], and entering an order that fully resolves the EFIH First Lien Makewhole Adversary Proceeding, [Adversary D.I. 305], with respect to which the EFIH First Lien Notes Trustee filed the Notice of Appeal on July 17, 2015.

 

81


  3. EFIH Second Lien Makewhole Adversary Proceeding.

On June 16, 2014, the EFIH Second Lien Notes Trustee filed an adversary complaint (Case No. 14-50405) (the “Second Lien Makewhole Complaint”) against the EFIH Debtors seeking a declaration that the Debtors are obligated to pay the Makewhole Claims in connection with the EFIH Second Lien Notes, along with other contested amounts relating to indemnification obligations, professional fees, and interest. The EFIH Debtors reject the claims set forth in the Second Lien Makewhole Complaint. As of the date hereof, no litigation schedule has been set.

On December 1, 2014, the EFIH Debtors filed a motion for leave to file an amended answer and counterclaims in respond to the Second Lien Makewhole Complaint [Adversary D.I. 12]. In the memorandum of law that accompanied this motion [Adversary D.I. 13], the EFIH Debtors requested that the Bankruptcy Court allow briefing for declaratory judgment that would resolve any and all questions of the EFIH Debtors’ liability with respect to the Makewhole Claims related to the EFIH Second Lien Notes. On December 18, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court entered a scheduling order outlining the timeline for parties-in-interests to file briefs in connection to the Second Lien Makewhole Complaint [Adversary D.I. 15].

On December 19, 2014, the EFIH Second Lien Notes Trustee filed a motion to dismiss the complaint without prejudice [Adversary D.I. 18], arguing that the matter was not yet ripe for declaratory judgment. Following approval of the EFIH Second Lien Partial Repayment Motion (discussed below), the EFIH Second Lien Notes Trustee agreed that the ripeness issue was moot.

On April 13, 2015, the EFIH Second Lien Notes Trustee filed an amended complaint, and on April 30, 2015, the EFIH Debtors filed an answer to that complaint [Adversary D.I. 37, 39]. On July 17, 2015, the EFIH Debtors filed a motion for partial summary judgment, seeking to disallow any recovery on account of Makewhole Claims related to the EFIH Second Lien Notes. [Adversary D.I. 42].

 

  4. EFIH First Lien Turnover and Injunction Adversary Proceeding.

On June 20, 2014, CSC filed an adversary complaint (Case No. 14-50410) (the “First Lien Turnover Complaint”) against Computershare Trust Company, N.A., Computershare Trust Company of Canada, Epiq Systems, Inc., the Depository Trust Company, Cede & Co. In the First Lien Turnover Complaint, the EFIH First Lien Notes Trustee asserts that any payments to Holders of EFIH Second Lien Notes are subject to certain turnover provisions under the EFIH Collateral Trust Agreement. In particular, the EFIH First Lien Notes Trustee argues, among other things, that the proceeds of the EFIH First Lien DIP Facility constitute proceeds of collateral. As a result, the EFIH First Lien Notes Trustee asserts that any funds raised from the EFIH First Lien DIP Facility may not be paid to Holders of EFIH Second Lien Notes unless and until all claims under the EFIH First Lien Notes are paid in full. The EFIH First Lien Notes Trustee further asserts that this turnover provision applies even if the contested first lien amounts are not allowable against the EFIH Debtors.

The First Lien Turnover Complaint seeks injunctions against the defendants and monetary damages in the event the defendants pay funds to the Holders of EFIH Second Lien Notes without setting aside the amounts specified in the First Lien Turnover Complaint. The EFIH Debtors have not been named defendants in the First Lien Turnover Complaint.

The EFIH Debtors stated in the EFIH Second Lien Partial Repayment Motion and in their responses to the EFIH First Lien Notes Trustee’s objections to both the EFIH First Lien DIP Motion and the EFIH Second Lien DIP Motion that the proceeds of the EFIH First Lien DIP Facility do not constitute proceeds of collateral. Although the EFIH Debtors contest the assertions in the First Lien Turnover Complaint, the EFIH Debtors cannot predict the outcome of this litigation and cannot predict the effect of the allegations in the First Lien Turnover Complaint will have on recoveries under the Plan.

In connection with the EFIH Second Lien Partial Repayment Motion, the EFIH Debtors, the EFIH First Lien Notes Trustee, and the EFIH Second Lien Notes Trustee agreed to certain language in the Partial Repayment Order concerning the First Lien Turnover Complaint. The Bankruptcy Court entered the Partial Repayment Order in the adversary proceeding under the First Lien Turnover Complaint [Adversary D.I. 46] after entering the order in the Debtors’ lead chapter 11 case. The Partial Repayment Order provides, among other things, that the EFIH First Lien Notes Trustee maintains its right to assert that the EFIH Collateral Trust Agreement required the turnover of funds from

 

82


the EFIH Second Lien Partial Repayment amount. If the EFIH First Lien Notes Trustee prevails on this argument, turnover will be from any subsequent distribution to the EFIH Second Lien Notes other than pursuant to the Partial Repayment. Under certain circumstances, Holders of EFIH Second Lien Notes are entitled to elect to provide such turnover in cash even if the applicable distribution to the Holders of EFIH Second Lien Notes is in a form of consideration other than cash.

 

  5. EFIH Unsecured Makewhole Adversary Proceeding.

On December 16, 2014, the EFIH Debtors filed a complaint for declaratory relief against the holders of certain EFIH unsecured 11.25%/12.25% Senior Toggle Notes Due 2018 (the “PIK Notes”) relating to disputes between the parties regarding the Holders of PIK Notes’ rights to any makewhole payments as well as certain interest rate disputes between the parties [Adversary D.I. 1].

[In particular, the EFIH Debtors have taken the position that the holders of the EFIH Senior Toggle Notes (i) are entitled to postpetition interest capped at the Federal Judgment Rate in effect on the Petition Date, which was .11%, and (ii) are not entitled to any makewhole payments or optional redemption premiums. The EFIH Unsecured Notes Trustee has noted that some courts have determined that “in solvent debtor cases, a presumption exists that the legal rate [applicable to post-petition interest] is the rate agreed to by the parties in their contract prior to the petition. See, Mem. Of Law at 22 n.6, Energy Future Intermediate Holding Co. LLC v. UMB Bank, N.A., No. 14-51002 (Bankr. D. Del. Feb. 6, 2015), ECF No. 8.]

On February 6, 2015, the EFIH Unsecured Notes Trustee filed a motion to dismiss the complaint without prejudice [Adversary D.I. 7], arguing that the matter was not yet ripe for declaratory judgment. [Adversary D.I. 8]. The parties have fully briefed the ripeness dispute, and the issue was argued at the May 4, 2015, omnibus hearing. On June 15, 2015, the Bankruptcy Court granted the EFIH Unsecured Notes Trustee’s motion to dismiss but held that the PIK Notes’ Claim contains “a claim to those components of the Indenture, some of which have not been liquidated as of the filing of the PIK Claim” and that “nothing in [the Bankruptcy Court’s] opinion limits the EFIH Debtors’ ability to object to the PIK Claim or to seek to liquidate such claim.” Adv. No. 14-51002, D.I. 43, at 29-30. On July 9, 2015, the EFIH Debtors filed a partial objection to the Claim filed by the EFIH Unsecured Notes Trustee [D.I. 4964]. On August 7, 2015, the EFIH Debtors and the EFIH Unsecured Notes Trustee filed letters regarding a briefing schedule over the two issues involved in the claim dispute: (a) whether the operative indenture entitles the Holders of PIK Notes’ to a makewhole premium and (b) whether the claim for postpetition interest is limited to the federal judgment rate or the rate set forth in the indenture [D.I. 5238 and D.I. 5239].

 

L. EFIH Second Lien Partial Repayment Motion.

On February 12, 2015, EFH Corp. and the EFIH Debtors filed the Motion of Energy Future Holdings Corp., Energy Future Intermediate Holding Company LLC, and EFIH Finance Inc. for Entry of (A) Order (I) Authorizing Partial Repayment of EFIH Second Lien Notes; (II) Approving EFIH DIP Consent; and (III) Authorizing Consent Fee and (B) Revised EFIH First Lien DIP Order [D.I. 3527] (the “EFIH Second Lien Partial Repayment Motion”). Under the EFIH Second Lien Partial Repayment Motion, EFH Corp. and the EFIH Debtors requested authority to, among other things, (a) use up to $750 million of cash on hand at EFIH to repay in part the EFIH Second Lien Notes, (b) enter into a written consent with the agent and required lenders under the EFIH First Lien DIP Facility and pay a consent fee to the consenting lenders in an amount up to $13.5 million (the “Partial Repayment Consent Fee”), and (c) amend the Bankruptcy Court order governing the EFIH First Lien DIP Facility to permit the EFIH Second Lien Partial Repayment.

On February 26, 2015, the EFIH Second Lien Notes Trustee filed a limited objection to the EFIH Second Lien Partial Repayment Motion and a related cross-motion [D.I. 3673]. The EFIH Second Lien Notes Trustee argued, among other things, that the EFIH Second Lien Partial Repayment could not go forward unless the Bankruptcy Court made certain findings with respect to the First Lien Turnover Complaint. The EFIH Second Lien Notes Trustee also asserted that the Bankruptcy Court could not approve the EFIH Second Lien Partial Repayment unless the repayment amount was allocated first to the EFIH Second Lien Notes Trustee’s fees under the applicable indenture, including certain professional fees. On February 26, 2015, the EFIH First Lien Notes Trustee filed a response to the EFIH Second Lien Partial Repayment Motion indicating that it had agreed with the Debtors to resolve alleged issues under the EFIH Collateral Trust Agreement raised by the EFIH Second Lien Partial Repayment by including certain negotiated language in the proposed form of order approving the EFIH Second Lien Partial Repayment. On March 3,

 

83


2015, the EFIH First Lien Notes Trustee and the EFIH Second Lien Notes Trustee filed a joint statement indicating that they had agreed with the Debtors to certain negotiated language to be included in the proposed form of order that would resolve both parties’ objections associated with the EFIH Collateral Trust Agreement [D.I. 3748]. On March 9, 2015, EFH Corp. and the EFIH Debtors filed a revised form of order approving the EFIH Second Lien Partial Repayment that included negotiated language resolving all objections to entry of the order [D.I. 3842].

On March 10, 2015, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the EFIH Second Lien Partial Repayment (the “Partial Repayment Order”) and an amended order approving the EFIH First Lien DIP Facility, revised to permit the EFIH Second Lien Partial Repayment. The Partial Repayment Order authorized EFIH to transfer $750 million of cash to the EFIH Second Lien Notes Trustee and pay the up to $13.5 million Partial Repayment Consent Fee. The EFIH Second Lien Partial Repayment closed on March 11, 2015, including payment of the Partial Repayment Consent Fee, which ultimately totaled approximately $13.1 million. After such repayment, as of the date hereof, the principal amount outstanding on the 11.00% and 11.75% notes are $322 million and $1,388 million, respectively.

The Partial Repayment Order dictated that the repayment cash would be applied as follows: (a) first, to amounts for the EFIH Second Lien Notes Trustee’s fees and expenses accrued under the indenture governing the EFIH Second Lien Notes, including professional fees and expenses; (b) second, to all claims for interest accrued under the EFIH Second Lien Notes through the closing date of the EFIH Second Lien Partial Repayment in full; and (c), third, the remainder to claims for principal under the EFIH Second Lien Notes. The Partial Repayment Order reserves the Debtors’ rights to seek to recharacterize or reallocate such amounts pursuant to section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or to assert that such amounts are not payable and object to such claims. It also reserves the EFIH Second Lien Notes Trustee’s rights to oppose such recharacterization, reallocation, or objection or to assert claims for additional amounts due. The provisions of the Partial Repayment Order related to the EFIH Collateral Trust Agreement are discussed in Section IV.K of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Makewhole Litigation,” which begins on page 80.

 

M. Disclosure Statement Discovery

In connection with the Disclosure Statement filed on April 14, 2015 eight different parties served discovery requests on the Debtors and the disinterested directors and managers, including: 349 document requests, five interrogatories, and 16 deposition notices (including seven Rule 30(b)(6) notices covering 51 separate topics). After reviewing these discovery and deposition requests, the Debtors determined that the majority of the requests were irrelevant, overbroad, and otherwise improper in the context of a motion seeking approval of the Disclosure Statement. Consequently, on May 20, 2015, the Debtors sent a letter to the requesting parties asking that they withdraw or significantly narrow their discovery requests. On May 27, 2015, the Debtors and the disinterested directors and managers filed a joint letter seeking a protective order with respect to such discovery requests [D.I. 4606]. In response, the EFH Committee [D.I. 4666]; American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC as successor trustee under the indentures for certain notes issued by EFH Corp. [D.I. 4664]; Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as successor trustee under the TCEH second lien notes [D.I. 4668]; the Ad Hoc Committee of TCEH First Lien Creditors [D.I. 4663]; Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as indenture trustee for the EFIH second lien notes [D.I. 4665]; the TCEH Unsecured Ad Hoc Group [D.I. 4667]; and the TCEH Committee [D.I. 4660] filed letters in support of their respective discovery requests.

The Debtors engaged with each of these constituencies regarding their discovery requests. Ultimately, the Debtors, the disinterested directors and managers (where applicable), and each requesting constituency successfully resolved all issues related to the discovery requests without Bankruptcy Court intervention [D.I. 4718].

 

N. Other Ongoing Litigation Items.

 

  1. EFH Call Right Adversary Proceeding.

On October 6, 2014, several investment funds holding “Call Rights” related to EFH Unsecured Notes (the “Call Right Holders”) filed an adversary complaint (the “EFH Call Right Complaint”) against Fidelity (Case No. 14-50797). In the EFH Call Right Complaint, the Call Right Holders allege that, as parties to the Restructuring Support Agreement, they have a contractual right to purchase EFH Non-Guaranteed Notes from Fidelity at any time prior to the Effective Date of a plan of reorganization (the “Call Right”).

 

84


The Call Right Holders further assert that they have exercised the Call Rights and seek relief from the Bankruptcy Court including (a) an order issued by the Bankruptcy Court directing Fidelity to sell and transfer to the Call Right Holders all of its EFH Non-Guaranteed Notes, (b) a declaratory judgment that the Call Right Holders had properly exercised the Call Right and are entitled to the EFH Non-Guaranteed Notes, and that Fidelity has no valid continuing interest in those notes, and (c) injunctive relief enjoining Fidelity from taking any action that would interfere with the Call Right Holders’ control or ownership of the EFH Non-Guaranteed Notes.

On January 20, 2015, the Bankruptcy Court dismissed the EFH Call Right Complaint and concluded that the Call Right Holders do not have a contractual right to purchase EFH Non-Guaranteed Notes from Fidelity at any time prior to the Effective Date of a plan of reorganization [Adversary D.I. 57]. On February 3, 2015, the Call Right Holders filed a notice of appeal with the Bankruptcy Court [Adversary D.I. 61].

 

  2. TCEH First Lien Intercreditor Lawsuit.

On March 13, 2015, the TCEH First Lien Notes Trustee filed a complaint against the TCEH First Lien Credit Agreement Agent in the New York Supreme Court. This action was subsequently removed to the District Court for the Southern District of New York, and, on July 23, 2015, it was transferred to the Bankruptcy Court. The TCEH First Lien Notes Trustee commenced this action at the direction of the majority of the Holders of TCEH First Lien Notes. The TCEH First Lien Notes Trustee asserts that the Cash Collateral Order improperly allocates first lien adequate protection payments among holders of TCEH First Lien Claims because the pro rata distribution is not in accordance with the TCEH First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. The Debtors reserved this issue in the TCEH Cash Collateral Order and continue to escrow disputed amounts, pending a resolution of the dispute.

 

  3. TCEH L/C Holder Lawsuit.

On May 14, 2015, Marathon Asset Management, L.P., an L/C debt holder under the TCEH First Lien Credit Agreement (“Marathon”), filed an intercreditor suit against Wilmington Trust, N.A., the administrative and collateral agent under the TCEH First Lien Credit Agreement (“Wilmington Trust”), in the Supreme Court of the State of New York (the “TCEH L/C Holder Lawsuit”). In the TCEH L/C Holder Lawsuit, Marathon sought a declaratory judgment (a) finding that Marathon had a priority secured interest in certain cash attributable to letters-of-credit issued under the TCEH L/C, specifically with respect to any “Undrawn Overage Amount” under the Deposit L/C Loan Collateral Account and (b) requiring Wilmington Trust to preserve any cash or other value corresponding to the Undrawn Overage Amount until distributions were made to Marathon.

 

  4. Enterprise Valuation.

In the context of responding to the Legacy Discovery and TCEH First Lien investigation requests, the Debtors and their professionals have searched, collected, reviewed, and produced documents related to the Debtors’ historical valuation and solvency. Valuation of the Debtors, described in greater detail in SectionVI.B.6, entitled “Valuation of the Debtors,” which begins on page 144 and the supporting materials referenced therein, may be contested by various parties-in-interest as part of the Confirmation Hearing.

 

O. Exclusivity.

Under section 1121 of the Bankruptcy Code, a debtor has the exclusive right to file and solicit acceptance of a plan or plans of reorganization for an initial period of 120 days from the date on which the debtor filed for voluntary relief (the “Exclusive Filing Period”). If a debtor files a plan during the Exclusive Filing Period, then the debtor has the exclusive right for 180 days from the commencement date to solicit acceptances of the Plan (the “Exclusive Solicitation Period” and, together with the Exclusive Filing Period, the “Exclusive Periods”). During the Exclusive Periods, no other party in interest may file a competing plan of reorganization. Additionally, a court may extend these periods upon the request of a party in interest up to a maximum of 18 months from the commencement of a debtor’s chapter 11 cases.

The Debtors’ initial Exclusive Filing Period and Exclusive Solicitation Period were set to expire on August 27, 2014, and October 27, 2014, respectively. On July 23, 2014, the Debtors filed the Motion of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al., for Entry of an Order Extending the Debtors’ Exclusive Periods to File a Chapter 11 Plan and Solicit Acceptances Thereof Pursuant to Section 1121 of the Bankruptcy Code [D.I. 1683] (the “First Exclusivity Motion”). The Debtors requested a 180-day extension of the Exclusive Filing Period to February 23, 2015 and the Exclusive Solicitation Period to April 25, 2015.

 

85


On August 11, 2014, the Debtors filed a certification of counsel stating that the Debtors had agreed to a bridge order with various constituents approving a one-month extension of the Exclusive Filing Period to September 18, 2014 and the Exclusive Solicitation Period to November 18, 2014 [D.I. 1798]. The Bankruptcy Court entered the bridge order on August 11, 2014 [D.I. 1802]. The Bankruptcy Court overruled an objection filed by the indenture trustee for the EFIH First Lien Notes and entered an order approving the First Exclusivity Motion on September 16, 2014 [D.I. 2063].

On January 20, 2015, the Debtors filed the Second Motion of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al., for Entry of an Order Extending the Debtors’ Exclusive Periods to File a Chapter 11 Plan and Solicit Acceptances Thereof Pursuant to Section 1121 of the Bankruptcy Code [D.I. 3338] (the “Second Exclusivity Motion”). The Debtors requested an extension of the exclusive time periods for the Debtors to file the Plan and solicit votes on the Plan to October 29, 2015 and December 29, 2015, respectively. On February 5, 2015, after discussions with various constituents, the Debtors filed the Notice of Filing of Amended Proposed Order Extending the Debtors’ Exclusivity Periods [D.I. 3445] which reflected consensus with such constituents and which amended the proposed order to extend the Exclusive Filing Period to June 23, 2015 and the Exclusive Solicitation Period to August 23, 2015. On February 10, 2015, the Bankruptcy Court overruled an objection filed by the indenture trustee for the TCEH second lien notes and granted the relief requested in the Second Exclusivity Motion, as amended [D.I. 3504].

On May 11, 2015, the Debtors filed the Third Motion of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al., for Entry of an Order Extending the Debtors’ Exclusive Periods to File a Chapter 11 Plan and Solicit Acceptances Thereof Pursuant to Section 1121 of the Bankruptcy Code [D.I. 4441] (the “Third Exclusivity Motion”). The Debtors requested an extension of the Exclusive Filing Period to October 29, 2015 and the Exclusive Solicitation Period to December 29, 2015 (the statutory maximum under section 1121 in each case). In connection with the Third Exclusivity Motion, the TCEH Unsecured Ad Hoc Group filed two deposition notices—a request to depose Paul Keglevic, the Debtors’ CFO and co-CRO and a request for a Rule 30(b)(6) witness or witnesses [D.I. 4593 and 4594]. The Court scheduled a telephonic hearing for May 28, 2015 to address the deposition requests. In advance of the hearing, the Debtors and the TCEH Unsecured Ad Hoc Group filed letters in support of their respective positions [D.I. 4614 and 4615]. The Court ultimately denied the TCEH Ad Hoc Group’s discovery requests. On June 1, 2015, the Bankruptcy Court overruled objections by several parties and entered an order, extending the Exclusive Periods to the statutory maximum permitted under section 1121 of the Bankruptcy Code [D.I. 4634].

In addition, on July 2, 2015, the Bankruptcy Court entered the TCEH Scheduling Stipulation. Among other things, the TCEH Scheduling Stipulation provides that if the Exclusive Periods have not been terminated by December 29, 2015 by order of the Bankruptcy Court, the signing creditors will not file, cause to be filed, or support the filing of a chapter 11 plan of reorganization or disclosure statement with respect to any Debtor until the Bankruptcy Court issues a final ruling whether to confirm the Plan.

 

P. Other Bankruptcy Motions, Applications, and Filings.

To minimize disruption to the Debtors’ operations and in pursuit of consummation of the Restructuring, upon the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors sought the relief in the motions summarized below.

 

  1. ERCOT Assumption Motion.

On the Petition Date, the Debtors filed the Motion of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al., for Entry of an Order Authorizing Certain of the Debtors to Assume Standard Form Market Participant Agreements with ERCOT [D.I. 40] (the “ERCOT Assumption Motion”). Pursuant to the ERCOT Assumption Motion, certain Debtors sought authority to assume prepetition Standard Form Market Participant Agreements with ERCOT and provide adequate assurance of future performance in relation thereto. Additionally, in an abundance of caution, the Debtors sought authority for ERCOT to draw on the $120 million letter of credit in its discretion. On June 4, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court granted the relief requested in the ERCOT Assumption Motion [D.I. 802].

 

86


  2. Non-Qualified Benefits Motion.

On June 27, 2014, the Debtors filed the Motion of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al., for Entry of an Order Authorizing Certain of the Debtors to Continue Honoring Obligations to Retirees and Non-Insider Employees on Account of Non-Qualified Benefit Programs [D.I. 1222]. The Debtors requested approval to honor certain obligations under two non-qualified benefit programs for certain eligible employees: (a) a supplemental non-contributory, non-qualified pension plan for those eligible participants whose tax-qualified pension benefits are limited due to IRC restrictions; and (b) a contributory, non-qualified defined contribution plan that permits eligible participants to defer a portion of their salary (collectively, the “Non-Qualified Benefits Programs”).

On July 1, 2014, the Debtors filed an amended motion requesting the same relief [D.I. 1441]. Before and after filing the amended motion, the Debtors engaged in significant discussions with the U.S. Trustee, the TCEH Committee, and the TCEH Unsecured Ad Hoc Group regarding the requested relief. Based on these discussions, the Debtors sought approval of a revised order reflecting consensus with such parties that, among other things, limits the amounts of the non-qualified benefits programs that may be paid in a given calendar year in aggregate and to an individual participant, excludes certain individuals from participating in the Non-Qualified Benefit Programs, and requires notification to certain parties prior to making significant payments under the non-qualified benefit programs. A certain group of legacy retirees filed a joinder to this motion [D.I. 1787]. On August 12, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court entered the revised form of order (the “Non-Qualified Benefits Order”) approving the amended motion [D.I. 1819].

On May 11, 2015, the Debtors filed the Motion of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al., for Entry of a Second Order Authorizing Certain of the Debtors to Honor Obligations to Certain Retirees on Account of Non-Qualified Benefit Programs [D.I. 4445]. The Debtors requested approval to honor obligations to certain additional employees under the Non-Qualified Benefits Programs who had previously been excluded from the relief granted in the Non-Qualified Benefits Order. On June 1, 2015, the Bankruptcy Court approved the relief requested [D.I. 4633].

 

  3. Comanche Peak Joint Venture Agreements Amendment Motion.

On June 27, 2014, the Debtors filed the Motion of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al., Authorizing Entry Into Amendments to the Comanche Peak Joint Venture Agreements [D.I. 1227]. Certain of the Debtors have maintained a joint venture (the “Comanche Peak Joint Venture”) with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. (“MHI”) and non-Debtor affiliate Nuclear Energy Future Holdings II LLC (“NEFH II”), pursuant to certain agreements (the “CP Joint Venture Agreements”) for the construction and operation of two new nuclear generation units at the Comanche Peak nuclear power facility. The development of the new units is no longer economically feasible and the parties to the CP Joint Venture Agreements decided to revise such agreement to reflect the suspension of development activities related to the new units. Accordingly, the Debtors filed the motion to request Bankruptcy Court authorization to enter into certain amendments to these agreements. The amendments to the CP Joint Venture Agreements consist of, among other things, the suspension or termination of certain obligations under the joint venture agreements, the conveyance of certain assets to NEFH II, the termination of TCEH’s guaranty of certain NEFH II rights and obligations under the joint venture agreements, and a material release of any and all claims by and between the parties to these agreements. On July 17, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court granted the relief requested [D.I. 1619].

On October 30, 2014, the Debtors filed the Motion of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al., for Entry of an Order Authorizing Certain Debtors to Enter Into Agreements Regarding MHI’s Withdrawal from the Comanche Peak Joint Venture [D.I. 2664]. The motion requested authorization from the Bankruptcy Court to enter into an agreement regarding MHI’s withdrawal from the Comanche Peak Joint Venture. MHI’s withdrawal leaves the Comanche Peak Joint Venture wholly owned and controlled by a non-Debtor entity that is wholly controlled and owned by the TCEH Debtors. On November 20, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the Debtors to enter into the agreement [D.I. 2831].

 

  4. 401(k) Plan Separation Motion.

On June 27, 2014, the Debtors filed the Motion of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al., for an Order Authorizing the Debtors to Execute the 401(k) Plan Separation [D.I. 1229]. All of the Debtors’ employees participate in a qualified, defined contribution 401(k) plan (the “401(k) Plan”) maintained by the Debtors. Approximately 4,000 current and former Oncor Electric employees participate in the 401(k) Plan as well. In recent years, the Debtors and Oncor Electric have worked to separate Oncor Electric, and its employees, from the 401(k) Plan and have Oncor Electric provide for and maintain a 401(k) plan exclusively for Oncor Electric employees. Accordingly, this motion

 

87


requested Bankruptcy Court authorization to transfer the accounts of Oncor Electric employees who participate in the 401(k) Plan to a new 401(k) plan established and maintained by Oncor Electric. On July 17, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court granted the relief requested [D.I. 1620].

 

  5. Assumption and Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.

On July 23, 2014, the Debtors filed the Motion of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al., for Entry of an Order, Pursuant to Section 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, Extending Their Time to Assume or Reject Unexpired Leases of Nonresidential Real Property [D.I. 1680]. Through this motion, the Debtors requested a 90-day extension to assume or reject unexpired leases of nonresidential real property through and including November 25, 2014. On August 11, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court granted the relief requested [D.I. 1803]. On August 26, 2014, the Debtors filed the Motion of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et. al, for Entry of an Order Authorizing and Approving Expedited Procedures to Reject or Assume Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases [D.I. 1930], seeking authority to implement expedited procedures allowing for the efficient assumption or rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases. As the Debtors are party to approximately 12,000 contracts and leases, the Debtors sought expedited procedures allowing for the efficient assumption or rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases. On September 15, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the expedited procedures [D.I. 2015]. Subsequent to the entry of that order, the Debtors have analyzed over 6,000 executory contracts and assumed or rejected more than 1,800 nonresidential property leases and executory contracts.

 

  6. Bar Date Motion and the Claims Objection Process.

On June 30, 2014, the Debtors filed their schedules of assets and liabilities and statements of financial affairs that included, among other things, a detailed summary of the Debtors’ assets and liabilities, contracts, and leases to which the Debtors are party, and pending litigation to which the Debtors are party. On May 2, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Interim Order Authorizing the Debtors to (A) Maintain and Administer Customer Programs and Customer Agreements, (B) Honor Prepetition Obligations Related Thereto, (C) Pay Certain Expenses on Behalf of Certain Organizations, (D) Fix the Deadline to File Proofs of Claim for Certain Customer Claims, and (E) Establish Procedures for Notifying Customers of Commencement of the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases, Assumption of the Customer Agreements, and the Bar Date for Customer Claims [D.I. 307], establishing October 27, 2014, at 5:00 p.m. (prevailing Eastern Time) as the final date and time for certain customer claimants holding or asserting a claim against the Debtors arising on or before the Petition Date to file proofs of claim in the Chapter 11 Cases and approving the form and manner of notice thereof. On August 18, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Order (A) Setting Bar Dates For Filing Non-Customer Proofs Of Claim And Requests For Payment Under Section 503(b)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code, (B) Approving The Form Of And Manner For Filing Non-Customer Proofs Of Claim And Requests For Payment Under Section 503(b)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code, and (C) Approving Notice Thereof [D.I. 1866], establishing October 27, 2014, at 5:00 p.m. (prevailing Eastern Time) as the final date and time for all persons and entities holding or asserting a claim against the Debtors arising on or before the Petition Date to file proofs of claim in the Chapter 11 Cases, except for claims specifically exempt from complying with the general bar date as set forth in the order, including claims relating to alleged asbestos exposure (the “Asbestos Claims”), and approving the form and manner of notice thereof.

Since then, parties have filed over 10,000 proofs of claim, with a claimed value in excess of $350 billion (and certain claimants have, and may in the future, seek permission from the Bankruptcy Court to file claims after the Bar Date). Epiq Bankruptcy Solutions LLC, the Debtors’ claims agent, maintains the official claims register.

The Debtors have filed twenty-three omnibus objections to claims, which objected to 4,851 Proofs of Claim in an aggregate claimed amount of $178,945,668,214.48, which includes unliquidated or undetermined claimed amounts. These Proofs of Claim were filed by, among others, vendors, current and former customers, bondholders, and government agencies. As of July 31, 2015, 4,204 Proofs of Claim have been expunged in an aggregate claimed amount of $177,088,812,777.24. Additionally, 258 Proofs of Claim have been withdrawn, disallowed, or reduced pursuant to the terms of a stipulation between the Debtors and the claimant(s), resulting in a reduction of the aggregate claimed amount against the Debtors of $628,222,496.05. The Debtors have also sent notices of satisfaction to the claimants under 36 Proofs of Claim in the aggregate amount of $27,109,588.26.

On September 9, 2014, the Debtors filed their brief in support of a bar date with respect to both manifested and unmanifested Asbestos Claims (such bar date, the “Asbestos Bar Date”) [D.I. 1984], and the personal injury law

 

88


firms representing certain holders of Asbestos Claims (the “PI Law Firms”) filed their brief in opposition to the Asbestos Bar Date [D.I. 1983]. As set forth in the brief, the Debtors and the PI Law Firms agreed to address the form of notice for Asbestos Claims at a later hearing. The Bankruptcy Court heard oral argument with respect to this issue on October 28, 2014. On January 7, 2015, the Bankruptcy Court issued an opinion approving the establishment of an Asbestos Bar Date, including with respect to unmanifested Asbestos Claims. On March 24, 2015, the Debtors filed their brief in support of the form and manner of notice for filing proofs of claim for Asbestos Claims. On June 24, 2015, a second group of asbestos personal injury law firms filed a letter with the Bankruptcy Court requesting certain information relating to the Debtors’ asbestos liabilities [D.I. 4842]. The Debtors filed a response to the letter on June 26, 2015 [D.I. 4879]. On June 29, 2015, the EFH Committee filed an objection to the Debtors’ proposed Asbestos Bar Date [D.I. 4883]. On July 13, 2015, the Debtors filed a reply to the EFH Committee’s objection [D.I. 4984]. After good faith negotiations between the Debtors and the EFH Committee, the parties negotiated a form of order regarding the Asbestos Bar Date and the form and manner of notice of the Asbestos Bar Date. An order was entered on July 15, 2015 (and subsequently amended on July 30, 2015), establishing December 14, 2015 as the Asbestos Bar Date and approving the related forms of notice [D.I. 4997 and 5171]. In addition, on July 22, 2015, certain asbestos claimants filed a motion to appoint a legal representative to represent the interests of claimants with unmanifested asbestos claims [D.I. 5072]. The Debtors and the TCEH Committee filed objections on August 4, 2015 [D.I. 5209 and 5210] and the Bankruptcy Court is scheduled to hear the matter on August 11, 2015.

 

  7. Employee Incentive and Retention Plans.

EFH, through its direct or indirect Debtor subsidiaries, employs approximately 5,500 employees. As is typical for any organization of similar size, scope, and complexity, the Debtors developed programs to encourage and reward exceptional employee performance.

The Debtors have historically provided compensation programs to non-insider employees that encourage and reward exceptional performance or provide for classic retention-based incentives (collectively, the “Non-Insider Compensation Programs”). On May 15, 2014, the Debtors filed the Motion of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al., for Entry of an Order Authorizing the Debtors to (A) Pay Certain Prepetition Amounts on Account of Non-Insider Compensation Programs and (B) Continue the Non-Insider Compensation Programs in the Ordinary Course of Business on a Postpetition Basis [D.I. 468] (the “Non-Insider Compensation Motion”), seeking authority to pay non-insider employees for bonuses earned and accrued prepetition and to continue the Non-Insider Compensation Programs for the 2014 performance period in the ordinary course of business.

On June 3, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving limited relief for certain Non-Insider Compensation Programs [D.I. 761]. Following negotiations with certain parties in interest, including the U.S. Trustee and advisors to the TCEH Committee, the Debtors sought and received from the Bankruptcy Court an order approving the remaining Non-Insider Compensation Programs requested within the Non-Insider Compensation Motion on July 1, 2014 [D.I. 1420].

On August 8, 2014, the Debtors filed the Motion of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al., for Entry of an Order Authorizing the Debtors to (A) Pay Certain Prepetition Amounts on Account of the Insider Compensation Programs and (B) Continue the Insider Compensation Programs in the Ordinary Course of Business on a Postpetition Basis [D.I. 1792] (the “Insider Compensation Motion”), seeking authority to pay compensation awards to 26 management-level employees for amounts earned and accrued prepetition in connection with certain insider incentive compensation programs and to continue such compensation programs for the 2014 performance period in the ordinary course of business. Following the filing of the Insider Compensation Motion, the Debtors engaged certain of their stakeholders, including the TCEH Committee and the U.S. Trustee, to provide such parties in interest with information, on a confidential basis, concerning the Debtors’ operating performance for the 2014 performance period. After a hearing before the Bankruptcy Court, at which the Debtors presented testimony regarding the performance metrics underlying the programs, the Bankruptcy Court approved the relief requested by the Insider Compensation Motion. On October 27, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the Insider Compensation Motion [D.I. 2595]. Further, on October 28, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving compensation to an insider under a certain additional incentive plan [D.I. 2597].

On November 22, 2014, the Debtors filed the Motion of Energy Future Holdings Corp., et al., for Entry of an Order Approving the 2015 Compensation Programs [D.I. 2852] (the “2015 Compensation Motion”). The 2015

 

89


Compensation Motion requested approval to provide substantially similar compensation programs to those approved by the Bankruptcy Court for 2014. On December 16, 2014, the Debtors filed supplemental declarations which provided additional detail regarding the Debtors’ 2015 compensation programs. On December 17, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court granted the relief requested in the 2015 Compensation Motion [D.I. 3052].

 

  8. EFH Committee Objection to TCEH Tax Claims.

On April 30, 2015, the EFH Committee filed the Objection of the EFH Official Committee to General Unsecured Tax Claims of Texas Competitive Electric Holdings Company LLC Against Energy Future Holdings Corporation [D.I. 4365] (the “EFH Committee Objection to TCEH Tax Claims”) under seal. On May 26, 2015, the Debtors filed a motion to maintain portions of the EFH Committee Objection to TCEH Tax Claims under seal [D.I. 4597] (the “Tax Claim Sealing Motion”). On May 13, 2015, the Bankruptcy Court, ruling from the bench, stayed consideration and scheduling of the claim EFH Committee Objection to TCEH Tax Claims until further order. The Debtors withdrew the Tax Claim Sealing Motion on June 17, 2015 [D.I. 4800], and on June 18, 2015, the EFH Committee filed an unsealed version of the EFH Committee Objection to TCEH Tax Claims [D.I. 4801].

If the Professional Fee Escrow Account is insufficient to fund the full Allowed amounts of Professional Fee Claims, remaining unpaid Allowed Professional Fee Claims will be allocated among and paid directly by the Reorganized Debtors in the manner prescribed by Article II.A.2(d) of the Plan.

 

  (b) Professional Fee Escrow Account.

On the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall establish and fund the Professional Fee Escrow Account with Cash equal to the Professional Fee Reserve Amount, the funding of which shall be allocated among the Debtors in the manner prescribed by Article II.A.2(d) of the Plan.

Entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute approval of such assignments and/or assumptions and the rejection of the Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases listed on the Rejected Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease List pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. Any motions to assume Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases pending on the Effective Date shall be subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court on or after the Effective Date by a Final Order. Each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to the Article V.A. of the Plan or by any order of the Bankruptcy Court, which has not been assigned to a third party before the Confirmation Date, shall revest in and be fully enforceable by the Reorganized Debtors in accordance with its terms, except as such terms are modified by the Plan or any order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing and providing for its assumption under applicable federal law. Notwithstanding anything in this Article V.A. to the contrary, the Employment Agreements and the New Employee Agreements/Arrangements shall be deemed to be entered into or assumed and/or assigned (as applicable) to Reorganized TCEH on the Effective Date, and Reorganized TCEH shall be responsible for any cure costs arising from or related to the assumption of such Employment Agreement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in the event any party to an Employment Agreement and the Reorganized EFH Debtors or Reorganized EFIH Debtors mutually agree that such party’s Employment Agreement shall be assumed by Reorganized EFH or Reorganized EFIH and not assigned to Reorganized TCEH, the consent of the Plan Sponsors shall be required with respect to such assumption and the Reorganized EFH Debtors and Reorganized EFIH Debtors, as applicable, shall be responsible for any cure costs arising from or related to the assumption of such Employment Agreements. Additionally, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the Plan Supplement, the Executive Severance Policy, or any Employment Agreement, the occurrence of the Effective Date shall be deemed to constitute a “change in control” under the Executive Severance Policy and each Employment Agreement. On the Effective Date, Reorganized TCEH shall execute a written agreement (in a form reasonably acceptable to the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors) with each employee who is party to an Employment Agreement acknowledging that the transactions consummated upon the occurrence of the Effective Date shall constitute a “change in control” under such employee’s Employment Agreement. The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, with the reasonable consent of the Plan Sponsors and the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors, reserve the right to alter, amend, modify, or supplement the schedules of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases with respect to such Debtors and Reorganized Debtors at any time through and including 45 days after the Effective Date.

 

  (b) Claims Based on Rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases.

Unless otherwise provided by a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, all Proofs of Claim with respect to Claims arising from the rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases, pursuant to the Plan or the Confirmation Order, if any, must be Filed within 30 days after the later of: (1) the date of entry of an order of the Bankruptcy Court (including the Confirmation Order) approving such rejection; (2) the effective date of such rejection; or (3) the Effective Date. Any Claims arising from the rejection of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease not Filed within such time will be automatically disallowed, forever barred from assertion, and shall not be enforceable against the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, the Estates, or their property without the need for any objection by the Reorganized Debtors or further notice to, or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court or any other Entity, and any Claim arising out of the rejection of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be deemed fully satisfied, released, and discharged, notwithstanding anything in the Schedules or a Proof of Claim to the contrary. All Allowed Claims arising from the rejection of the Debtors’ Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases shall be classified as General Unsecured Claims against the applicable Debtor, and shall be treated in accordance with the Plan.

 

  (c) Cure of Defaults for Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.

Any monetary defaults under each Assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the default amount in Cash on the Effective Date, subject to the limitation described below, or on such other terms as the parties to such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases may otherwise agree. In the event of a dispute regarding (1) the amount of any payments to cure

 

114


such a default, (2) the ability of the Reorganized Debtors or any assignee to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to be assumed, or (3) any other matter pertaining to assumption, the cure payments required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be made following the entry of a Final Order resolving the dispute and approving the assumption. At least 14 days before the Confirmation Hearing, the Debtors will provide for notices of proposed assumption and proposed cure amounts to be sent to applicable third parties and for procedures for objecting thereto and resolution of disputes by the Bankruptcy Court. Any objection by a counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to a proposed assumption or related cure amount must be Filed, served, and actually received by the Debtors at least seven (7) days before the Confirmation Hearing. Any counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that fails to object timely to the proposed assumption or cure amount will be deemed to have consented to such assumption or proposed cure amount.

Assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall result in the full release and satisfaction of any Claims or defaults, whether monetary or nonmonetary, including defaults of provisions restricting the change in control or ownership interest composition or other bankruptcy-related defaults, arising under any Assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease at any time before the effective date of assumption. Any Proofs of Claim Filed with respect to an Assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be deemed disallowed and expunged, without further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

  (d) Preexisting Obligations to the Debtors under Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.

Rejection of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall not constitute a termination of preexisting obligations owed by the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease counterparty or counterparties to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, under such Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases.

 

  (e) Indemnification Obligations.

Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, each Indemnification Obligation shall be assumed by the applicable Debtor, effective as of the Effective Date, pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. Each Indemnification Obligation shall remain in full force and effect, shall not be modified, reduced, discharged, impaired, or otherwise affected in any way, and shall survive Unimpaired and unaffected, irrespective of when such obligation arose. The TCEH Debtors and Reorganized TCEH shall assume the Indemnification Obligations for the current and former directors, officers, managers, employees, and other professionals of the TCEH Debtors, in their capacities as such, and the EFH Debtors and Reorganized EFH shall assume the Indemnification Obligations for the current and former directors, officers, managers, employees, and other professionals of the EFH Debtors or EFIH Debtors, in their capacities as such; provided that the TCEH Debtors and Reorganized TCEH shall not assume, and shall not have any liability for or any obligations in respect of, any Indemnification Obligations for the current and former directors, officers, managers, employees, and other professionals of the EFH Debtors or EFIH Debtors, in their capacities as such, and the EFH Debtors, Reorganized EFH, EFIH Debtors, and Reorganized EFIH shall not assume, and shall not have any liability for, or any obligations in respect of, any Indemnification Obligations for the current and former directors, officers, managers, employees, and other professionals of the TCEH Debtors, in their capacities as such.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing shall impair the ability of Reorganized EFH, Reorganized EFIH, or Reorganized TCEH, as applicable, to modify indemnification obligations (whether in the bylaws, certificates, or incorporate or formation, limited liability company agreements, other organizational or formational documents, board resolutions, indemnification agreements, employment contracts, or otherwise) arising after the Effective Date.

 

  (f) Insurance Policies.

Each of the Debtors’ insurance policies and any agreements, documents, or instruments relating thereto, are treated as Executory Contracts under the Plan. Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, on the Effective Date, the Debtors shall be deemed to have assumed all insurance policies and any agreements, documents, and instruments relating to coverage of all insured Claims.

 

115


  (g) Modifications, Amendments, Supplements, Restatements, or Other Agreements.

Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, each Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that is assumed shall include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements that in any manner affect such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, and all Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases related thereto, if any, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, and any other interests, unless any of the foregoing agreements have been previously rejected or repudiated or is rejected or repudiated under the Plan.

Modifications, amendments, supplements, and restatements to prepetition Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that have been executed by the Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases shall not be deemed to alter the prepetition nature of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, or the validity, priority, or amount of any Claims that may arise in connection therewith.

 

  (h) Reservation of Rights.

Neither the exclusion nor inclusion of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease on the Rejected Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease List or the Assumed Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease List, nor anything contained in the Plan, shall constitute an admission by the Debtors that any such contract or lease is in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that any of the Reorganized Debtors has any liability thereunder. If there is a dispute regarding whether a contract or lease is or was executory or unexpired at the time of assumption or rejection, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have 30 days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter its treatment of such contract or lease.

 

  (i) Nonoccurrence of Effective Date.

In the event that the Effective Date does not occur with respect to a Debtor, the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction with respect to any request to extend the deadline for assuming or rejecting Unexpired Leases, with respect to such Debtor, pursuant to section 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, unless such deadline(s) have expired.

 

  (j) Contracts and Leases Entered Into After the Petition Date.

Contracts and leases entered into after the Petition Date by any Debtor, including any Assumed Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases, will be performed by the applicable Debtor or the applicable Reorganized Debtor liable thereunder in the ordinary course of their business. Accordingly, any such contracts and leases (including any Assumed Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases) that have not been rejected as of the date of the Confirmation Date shall survive and remain unaffected by entry of the Confirmation Order.

 

  4. Special Provision Governing Unimpaired Claims.

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, nothing under the Plan shall affect the Debtors’ rights in respect of any Unimpaired Claims, including all rights in respect of legal and equitable defenses to or setoffs or recoupments against any such Unimpaired Claims.

 

  5. Controversy Concerning Impairment.

If a controversy arises as to whether any Claims or Interests, or any Class of Claims or Interests, are Impaired, the Bankruptcy Court shall, after notice and a hearing, determine such controversy on or before the Confirmation Date.

 

  6. Elimination of Vacant Classes.

Any Class of Claims or Interests that, as of the commencement of the Confirmation Hearing, does not have at least one Holder of a Claim or Interest that is Allowed in an amount greater than zero for voting purposes pursuant to the Disclosure Statement Order shall be considered vacant, deemed eliminated from the Plan for purposes of voting to accept or reject the Plan, and disregarded for purposes of determining whether the Plan satisfies section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to that Class.

 

116


  7. Subordinated Claims and Interests.

The allowance, classification, and treatment of all Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests and the respective distributions and treatments under the Plan take into account and conform to the relative priority and rights of the Claims and Interests in each Class in connection with any contractual, legal, and equitable subordination rights relating thereto, whether arising under general principles of equitable subordination, section 510(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise. Pursuant to section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors reserve the right to re-classify any Allowed Claim in accordance with any contractual, legal, or equitable subordination relating thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan gives effect to the TCEH First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and no additional changes to allowance, classification, treatment, or distributions should be made as a result of the TCEH First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the TCEH First Lien Agent and the Holders of Allowed TCEH First Lien Claims shall be deemed to have waived any rights under the TCEH Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement to the extent such rights would, in any way, impair or diminish the recoveries of the Holders of Allowed TCEH Second Lien Note Claims under the Plan or related documents.

 

  8. Directors and Officers of the Reorganized Debtors.

As of the Effective Date, the term of the current members of the board of directors of the applicable Debtors shall expire, and the initial boards of directors, including the New Boards, and the officers of each of the Reorganized Debtors shall be appointed in accordance with the respective New Organizational Documents. Pursuant to section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors will disclose in the Plan Supplement the identity and affiliations of any person proposed to serve on the initial board of directors or be an officer of each of the Reorganized Debtors. To the extent any such director or officer of the Reorganized Debtors is an “insider” under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors also will disclose the nature of any compensation to be paid to such director or officer. Each such director and officer shall serve from and after the Effective Date pursuant to the terms of the New Organizational Documents, the New Employee Agreements/Arrangements, the Employment Agreements, and other constituent documents of the Reorganized Debtors.

The management and the business of New EFH, Reorganized EFIH and (subject to any applicable ring-fence requirements and subject to applicable federal securities or exchange requirements) their subsidiaries will be conducted by or under the supervision of the board of directors of New EFH, initially comprised of thirteen (13) directors consisting of: (a) two (2) directors appointed by Hunt, one of whom shall be the chief executive officer of New EFH and employed by HUS; (b) one (1) director appointed by the required number of investors designated by Hunt; and (c) ten (10) directors (who are independent of Hunt) initially appointed by the Equity Investors. Any interested director transactions shall require the approval of a majority of disinterested directors.

New EFH will distribute cash (including distributions received from PropCo through Reorganized EFIH, net of any reserves established by the board of directors of New EFH) at such times as are determined by the board of directors of New EFH and otherwise in accordance with the organizational documents of New EFH and Reorganized EFIH but, at a minimum, will be made at such times and in such amounts to cause New EFH to satisfy the applicable requirements under the Internal Revenue Code for distributions by a REIT. New EFH will be treated and classified as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes. Each of Reorganized EFIH and PropCo will be treated and classified as a partnership or a disregarded entity for United States federal income tax purposes.

Customary REIT ownership restrictions will be included in Reorganized EFIH’s organizational documents or the interest holders’ agreement, together with such restrictions as may be necessary to ensure that Reorganized EFIH does not inadvertently become required to file public reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission unless and until certain conditions are satisfied. After the REIT Reorganization, the Equity Investors that hold equity in New EFH will receive customary registration rights.

 

  9. Intercompany Account Settlement.

The Debtors (acting at the direction of the Disinterested Directors and Managers with respect to Conflict Matters) and the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, subject to the consent of the Plan Sponsors and the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors, as applicable (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), shall be entitled to

 

117


transfer funds between and among themselves as they determine to be necessary or advisable to enable the Reorganized Debtors to satisfy their obligations under the Plan; provided, however, that (1) the TCEH Debtors shall not transfer funds to a Debtor that is not a TCEH Debtor, and (2) the EFH Debtors and EFIH Debtors shall not transfer funds to a Debtor that is not an EFH Debtor or an EFIH Debtor, respectively, except as otherwise provided in the Plan. Except as set forth herein, any changes in intercompany account balances resulting from such transfers will be accounted for and settled in accordance with the Reorganized Debtors’ historical intercompany account settlement practices and shall not violate the terms of the Plan.

 

  11. Cancelation of Existing Securities and Agreements.

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, on and after the Effective Date, all notes, instruments, certificates, agreements, indentures, mortgages, security documents, and other documents evidencing Claims or Interests, including Other Secured Claims, TCEH First Lien Claims, EFIH First Lien Note Claims, EFIH Second Lien Note Claims, EFCH 2037 Note Claims, TCEH Second Lien Note Claims, TCEH Unsecured Note Claims, PCRB Claims, EFIH Unsecured Note Claims, EFH Legacy Note Claims, EFH LBO Note Primary Claims, EFH LBO Note Guaranty Claims, EFH Unexchanged Note Claims, EFH Swap Claims, EFH Series N Note Claims, and DIP Claims, shall be deemed canceled, surrendered, and discharged without any need for further action or approval of the Bankruptcy Court or a Holder to take further action with respect to any note(s) or security and the obligations of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, thereunder or in any way related thereto shall be deemed satisfied in full and discharged, and the Indenture Trustees, the TCEH First Lien Agent, and the DIP Agents shall be released from all duties thereunder; provided, however, that notwithstanding Confirmation or Consummation, any such indenture or agreement that governs the rights of the Holder of a Claim shall continue in effect solely for purposes of: (1) allowing Holders to receive distributions under the Plan; (2) allowing the Indenture Trustees, the TCEH First Lien Agent, and the DIP Agents to make the distributions in accordance with the Plan (if any), as applicable; (3) preserving any rights of the DIP Agents, the TCEH First Lien Agent, or the Indenture Trustees to payment of fees, expenses, and indemnification obligations as against any money or property distributable to the Holders under the relevant indenture, the TCEH Credit Agreement, the TCEH First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, or DIP Agreement, including any rights to priority of payment and/or to exercise charging liens; (4) allowing the Indenture Trustees and DIP Agents to enforce any obligations owed to each of them under the Plan; and (5) allowing the Indenture Trustees, TCEH First Lien Agent, and DIP Agents to appear in the Chapter 11 Cases or any proceeding in which they are or may become a party; provided, further, however, that the preceding proviso shall not affect the discharge of Claims or Interests pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, the Confirmation Order, or the Plan, or result in any expense or liability to the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable.

 

  12. Management Incentive Plan.

The Reorganized Debtor Management Incentive Plan is hereby approved in its entirety and shall be implemented on the Effective Date by the applicable Reorganized Debtors without any further action by the New Boards or the Bankruptcy Court.

 

  13. Employee Obligations.

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the Plan Supplement, the Reorganized TCEH Debtors shall honor the Debtors’ written contracts, agreements, policies, programs and plans for, among other things, compensation, reimbursement, indemnity, health care benefits, disability benefits, deferred compensation benefits, travel benefits, vacation and sick leave benefits, savings, severance benefits, retirement benefits, welfare benefits, relocation programs, life insurance and accidental death and dismemberment insurance, including written contracts, agreements, policies, programs and plans for bonuses and other incentives or compensation for the directors, officers and employees of any of the Debtors who served in such capacity at any time (including the compensation programs approved by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to the 2015 Compensation Order and the 2016 Compensation Order). To the extent that the above-listed contracts, agreements, policies, programs and plans are executory contracts, pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, each of them will be deemed assumed as of the Effective Date and assigned to the Reorganized TCEH Debtors to the extent a TCEH Debtor is not party to such executory contracts.

 

118


  14. Protections Against Discriminatory Treatment.

Consistent with section 525 of the Bankruptcy Code and the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution, all Entities, including Governmental Units, shall not discriminate against the Reorganized Debtors or deny, revoke, suspend, or refuse to renew a license, permit, charter, franchise, or other similar grant to, condition such a grant to, discriminate with respect to such a grant against, the Reorganized Debtors, or another Entity with whom the Reorganized Debtors have been associated, solely because each Debtor has been a debtor under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, has been insolvent before the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases (or during the Chapter 11 Cases but before the Debtors are granted or denied a discharge), or has not paid a debt that is dischargeable in the Chapter 11 Cases.

 

  15. Reimbursement or Contribution.

If the Bankruptcy Court disallows a Claim for reimbursement or contribution of an Entity pursuant to section 502(e)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code, then to the extent that such Claim is contingent as of the time of allowance or disallowance, such Claim shall be forever disallowed and expunged notwithstanding section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, unless before the Confirmation Date: (a) such Claim has been adjudicated as non-contingent; or (b) the relevant Holder of a Claim has Filed a non-contingent Proof of Claim on account of such Claim and a Final Order has been entered before the Confirmation Date determining such Claim as no longer contingent.

 

G. Effect of Confirmation.

 

  1. Preservation of Causes of Action.

In accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, but subject to Article VIII of the Plan, the Reorganized Debtors shall retain and may enforce all rights to commence and pursue any and all Causes of Action belonging to their Estates, whether arising before or after the Petition Date, including any actions specifically enumerated in the Plan Supplement, and the Reorganized Debtors’ rights to commence, prosecute, or settle such Causes of Action shall be preserved notwithstanding the occurrence of the Effective Date, other than: (i) the Causes of Action released by the Debtors pursuant to the releases and exculpations contained in the Plan, including in Article VIII, which shall be deemed released and waived by the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors as of the Effective Date; (ii) all Causes of Action that arise under sections 544, 547, 548, and 549 of the Bankruptcy Code and state fraudulent conveyance law; and (iii) the Causes of Action released by the Debtors pursuant to the Settlement Agreement.

The Reorganized Debtors may pursue such Causes of Action, as appropriate, in accordance with the best interests of the Reorganized Debtors. No Entity may rely on the absence of a specific reference in the Plan, the Plan Supplement, or the Disclosure Statement to any Cause of Action against it as any indication that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, will not pursue any and all available Causes of Action against it. Unless any Causes of Action against an Entity are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, or settled herein or in a Bankruptcy Court order, the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve all Causes of Action, for later adjudication, and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine, including the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, estoppel (judicial, equitable, or otherwise), or laches, shall apply to such Causes of Action upon, after, or as a consequence of Confirmation or Consummation.

The Reorganized Debtors reserve and shall retain the Causes of Action notwithstanding the rejection of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease during the Chapter 11 Cases or pursuant to the Plan. In accordance with section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, any Causes of Action that a Debtor may hold against any Entity shall vest in the Reorganized Debtors. The Reorganized Debtors shall have the exclusive right, authority, and discretion to determine and to initiate, file, prosecute, enforce, abandon, settle, compromise, release, withdraw, or litigate to judgment any such Causes of Action and to decline to do any of the foregoing without the consent or approval of any third party or further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

  2. Retention of Jurisdiction by the Bankruptcy Court.

Notwithstanding the entry of the Confirmation Order and the occurrence of the Effective Date, on and after the Effective Date, the Bankruptcy Court shall retain exclusive jurisdiction over all matters arising out of, or related to, the Chapter 11 Cases and the Plan pursuant to sections 105(a) and 1142 of the Bankruptcy Code to the extent provided under applicable law, including jurisdiction to:

 

    allow, disallow, determine, liquidate, classify, estimate, or establish the priority, Secured or unsecured status, or amount of any Claim or Interest, including the resolution of any request for payment of any Administrative Claim and the resolution of any and all objections to the Secured or unsecured status, priority, amount, or allowance of Claims or Interests;

For a full list of the matters over which the Bankruptcy Court retains jurisdiction through and after the Effective Date, see Article XI of the Plan.

 

H. Settlement, Release, Injunction, and Related Provisions.

 

  1. Overview and Appropriateness of Plan Settlement.

The Plan includes a proposed settlement of numerous claims belonging to the Debtors, including claims against creditors, other Debtors, and third parties. During the Chapter 11 Cases a number of parties have alleged that there are potential litigation claims that could be asserted on behalf of the Debtors, including EFCH, TCEH, and certain of EFCH’s and TCEH’s direct and indirect subsidiaries related to various prepetition transactions. Motions seeking standing to prosecute and settle certain claims against Holders of TCEH First Lien Secured Claims were filed by (a) the TCEH Committee [D.I. 3593]; (b) the EFH Committee [D.I. 3605]; and (c) the TCEH Unsecured Ad Hoc Group [D.I. 3603]. A summary of potentially material alleged claims that would be settled pursuant to the Plan can be found in Section V.H.3 of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Summary and Discussion of Material Potential Claims Subject to Plan Settlement,” which begins on page 126.

The transactions and conduct underlying these claims have been the subject of significant investigation by the Debtors (including their disinterested directors and managers) and their advisors, the Creditors’ Committees, and various creditor groups. In addition to informal diligence, in August 2014, the Debtors negotiated entry of an order establishing formal discovery procedures governing a wide breadth of prepetition issues and transactions for an extensive time period, in some cases more than 15 years prepetition. This extensive discovery effort, referred to as

 

121


Legacy Discovery, resulted in the Debtors’ production of more than 806,000 documents (comprising over 5.6 million pages). The release provisions of the Plan contemplate, among other things, the release of any and all Causes of Action, including any derivative claims, asserted on behalf of the Debtors, that such Entity would have been legally entitled to assert (whether individually or collectively). In particular, the Plan settles all Intercompany Claims. This settlement is consistent with the Disinterested Director Settlement in that it releases Intercompany Claims and provides for the TCEH Settlement Claim to be allowed in the amount of $700 million against EFH Corp. However, the Disinterested Director Settlement provides for, but the Plan does not provide for, distribution of approximately 50% of distributable value of EFH Corp. to TCEH up to a total of $805 million. Under the Plan, the TCEH Settlement Claim shall be deemed satisfied without any distribution upon consummation of the Merger, in which certain Holders of Claims against TCEH will receive the stock of New EFH. The Plan also settles avoidance actions that could potentially be asserted by the Debtors against, among others, Holders of the TCEH First Lien Debt and the Sponsor Group.

Settlements and compromises like those embodied in the Plan expedite case administration and reduce unnecessary administrative costs; as such, they are favored in bankruptcy. See Myers v. Martin, 91 F.3d 389, 393 (3d Cir. 1996) (“To minimize litigation and expedite the administration of a bankruptcy estate, ‘[c]ompromises are well favored in bankruptcy.”); see also Will v. Nw. Univ., 434 F.3d 639, 644 (3d Cir. 2006); In re Key3Media Grp., Inc., 2006 WL 2842462, at *3 (D. Del. Oct. 2, 2006); In re Adelphia Commc’n Corp., 361 B.R. 337, 348 (Bankr. D. Del. 2007). Section 1123(b)(3)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code expressly provides that a chapter 11 plan may provide for “the settlement or adjustment of any claim or interest belonging to the debtor or to the estate.” 11 U.S.C. § 1123(b)(3)(A). A release of claims thereunder as part of a settlement is appropriate “if the release is a valid exercise of the debtor’s business judgment, is fair, reasonable, and in the best interests of the estate.” In re Spansion, Inc., 426 B.R. 114, 143 (Bankr. D. Del. 2010); see also In re Wash. Mut., Inc., 442 B.R. 314, 327 (Bankr. D. Del. 2011) (“In making its evaluation [whether to approve a settlement], the court must determine whether the compromise is fair, reasonable, and in the best interest of the estate.” (internal quotation marks omitted)). A proposed settlement need not be the best result that a debtor could have achieved, but only must fall within the “reasonable range of litigation possibilities.” In re Energy Corp., 886 F.2d 912, 929 (7th Cir. 1989); In re Sea Containers Ltd., 2008 WL 4296562, at *5 (Bankr. D. Del. Sept. 19, 2008); Key3Media Grp. Inc., 2006 WL 2842462, at *3. Settlements generally are practical resolutions and, when appropriately structured, are well within the reasonable range of litigation possibilities. Bankruptcy courts commonly approve of settlements and often cite their cost-saving benefits.

The Third Circuit has adopted a balancing test to determine whether a settlement is fair and equitable. The factors of the balancing test are: “(1) the probability of success in litigation; (2) the likely difficulties in collection; (3) the complexity of the litigation involved, and the expense, inconvenience and delay necessarily attending it; and (4) the paramount interest of the creditors.” Martin, 91 F.3d at 393; see also In re Key3Media Grp. Inc., 336 B.R. at 93 (when determining whether a compromise is in the best interests of the estate, courts must “assess and balance the value of the claim that is being compromised against the value of the estate of the acceptance of the compromise proposal”).

Based on the Martin factors, the settlements embodied in the Plan are fair and reasonable, and the Plan should be confirmed. The settlements are the product of extensive diligence and discovery, and of arms’-length negotiations between the Debtors (including each Debtor’s disinterested director(s) and managers), after significant input from the Creditors’ Committees and other creditor groups. If it were not for the settlements embodied in the Plan, these transactions and alleged prepetition conduct would be the subject of potentially significant litigation that would be costly and significantly delay (and potentially even jeopardize) the Debtors’ ultimate emergence from chapter 11. Approval of the settlements embodied in the Plan with respect to these transactions is the most productive outcome and is in the best interest of the Debtors’ estates.

Many of the potential claims that will be settled and released as part of the Plan would be subject to significant litigation if not settled. Section V.H.3 of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Summary and Discussion of Material Potential Claims Subject to Plan Settlement,” which begins on page 126, outlines the main arguments and counter-arguments that would likely be asserted in connection with these claims. The Debtors will present evidence at the Confirmation Hearing to demonstrate the appropriateness of the settlements and releases embodied in the Plan.

  2. Process for Identifying Actual Conflicts Matters.

The Court approved the retention of Proskauer Rose LLP (“Proskauer”), Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP (“MTO”) and Cravath Swaine & Moore LLP (“Cravath”) by EFH Corp., EFCH and its direct subsidiaries and EFIH and its direct subsidiaries, respectively. The firms were retained by the respective Debtors pursuant to board resolutions that authorized the disinterested directors and managers to retain Conflicts Matter Advisors in connection with “any matter pertaining to the Chapter 11 Case on which an actual conflict exists between [one debtor], on the one hand, and any other debtor, on the other hand (“Conflict Matters”).”

Specifically, the resolutions delegated authority to the disinterested directors or manager: (1) to retain Conflicts Matter Advisors “to represent and advise [the debtors], reporting to the [disinterested directors or manager], on the Conflict Matters”; (2) to investigate and determine whether any matter constitutes a Conflict Matter, “in the exercise of their business judgment and with the advice of the [Conflicts Matter Advisors]”; and (3) to make and implement all decisions with respect to Conflict Matters.

At the hearing approving the retention of the Conflicts Matter Advisors, the Court noted that: “[T]his is an ongoing process and it involves a broad range of activities that might come into play and require independent advice and action by conflicts counsel. We have issues in connection with the tax free [spin,] … ongoing discovery[,] … plan negotiations[,] … [and] the Oncor sale …. I think that requiring a more specific identification of the issues now and as they arise is both inefficient, unfair and perhaps even prejudicial in tipping the hand of activities that counsel might be involved with.” [Hr’g Tr. 50-51, Jan. 13, 2015].

The disinterested directors and managers, as well as the Conflicts Matter Advisors, have acted on behalf of the Debtors with respect to Conflict Matters and matters that may constitute Conflict Matters, including without limitation the following matters: (1) the proposed settlement of inter-Debtor claims and causes of action [D.I. 4145, 4146 and 4147]; (2) the negotiations with round 2 bidders in connection with the Oncor Electric sale process, including reviewing, revising and commenting upon transaction documents and participating in calls and conferences with the bidders; (3) the disclosure statement, including reviewing, revising and commenting upon the disclosure statement [D.I. 4143]; (4) the plan, including reviewing, revising and commenting upon the plan [D.I. 4142]; (5) tax issues and matters, including tax issues and matters relating to negotiations with bidders and those included in the plan and disclosure statement; and (6) reviewing and responding to formal and informal discovery requests.

The Debtors’ disinterested directors and managers, in consultation with their respective Conflicts Matter Advisors, agreed to the Disinterested Director Settlement following an extensive negotiation process over a period of more than a month. These negotiations were conducted both in-person and telephonically. Certain negotiations were conducted directly between the disinterested directors and managers. Other negotiations were conducted between the Conflicts Matter Advisors, under the direction and supervision of the disinterested directors or managers of their respective Debtors.

In connection with the negotiation and settlement process, the disinterested directors and managers frequently conferred with their respective Conflicts Matter Advisors concerning potential intercompany claims and their potential resolution or prosecution. In addition, under the direction of the disinterested directors and managers, their respective Conflicts Matter Advisors conducted diligence on intercompany claims (including tax claims and tax related issues) and reported to their respective disinterested directors and managers on the results of that diligence, which supplemented the disinterested directors’ and managers’ knowledge and experience, including from serving on the boards of the Debtors.

The negotiation process that culminated in the Disinterested Director Settlement can be summarized in material terms with the following list of meetings, discussions and proposals. More information about these meetings, and the considerations of the settlement, can be found in the various minutes of meetings or other public filings previously filed with the Bankruptcy Court in this matter. Copies of the minutes are attached to this Disclosure Statement as Exhibit K.

    On March 11, 2015, MTO and Greenhill met with Proskauer and SOLIC to discuss potential intercompany claims and defenses. In connection with that meeting, Proskauer provided MTO with a written presentation detailing potential claims of EFH against the TCEH Debtors and MTO, and describing potential defenses to potential claims of TCEH Debtors against EFH.

 

    On March 16, 2015, MTO met with Cravath to discuss potential claims between the TCEH Debtors and EFIH. In connection with that meeting, MTO provided Cravath a written presentation describing potential claims of the TCEH Debtors against EFIH, and rebutting potential claims of EFIH against the TCEH Debtors.

 

    On March 16, 2015, MTO, at the direction of the disinterested manager of TCEH/EFCH, made a settlement demand on EFH, through its counsel Proskauer, with respect to certain intercompany claims (the “Intercompany Claims”) and matters related to the intended tax-free treatment of the transactions contemplated by the Debtors’ proposed plan of reorganization (the “Step-Up Matter”), demanding (i) an allowed unsecured claim for TCEH of $1.2 billion against EFH (including $200 million against EFIH) plus (ii) all of EFH’s NOLs at emergence plus (iii) 100% of all excess consideration (the “Excess Consideration”) received by EFH upon the sale of reorganized Energy Future Holdings Corp. or its direct or indirect subsidiaries, including reorganized Energy Future Intermediate Holding Company LLC and its subsidiaries but excluding the TCEH Debtors after payment in full of the creditors of EFIH and EFH, and a $10 million distribution to EFH equity holders (the “Equity Holders”), and the directors and officers of the Debtors and the Equity Holders would receive full releases (“Full Releases”) (the “Initial TCEH Demand”).

 

    On March 18, 2015, Proskauer, on behalf of the disinterested directors of EFH and after extensive meetings and discussions with the disinterested directors of EFH, made a counter-offer to the Initial TCEH Demand (as authorized by the disinterested directors of EFH at a meeting held on March 17, 2015) to MTO with respect to the Intercompany Claims and Step-Up Matter of (i) a $100 million allowed unsecured pari passu claim for TCEH against EFH plus (ii) all of EFH’s NOLs at emergence plus (iii) a sharing of Excess Consideration pursuant to a reasonable waterfall to be agreed along the lines set forth in that certain CRO term sheet dated March 9, 2015, in exchange for a waiver of all affirmative claims held by EFH against the TCEH Debtors, a $10 million distribution to the Equity Holders, and Full Releases (the “Initial EFH Counter”).

 

124


    Between March 18, 2015 and March 23, 2015, the disinterested directors and managers of the TCEH Debtors and EFH, or their respective Conflicts Matter Advisors, had numerous calls, conferences and discussions regarding the Intercompany Claims and the Step-Up Matter, the Initial TCEH Demand and the Initial EFH Counter.

 

    On March 19, 2015, MTO, at the direction of the disinterested manager of TCEH/EFCH, made a settlement demand on EFIH, through its counsel Cravath, with respect to the claims of the TCEH Debtors against EFIH, demanding an allowed unsecured claim of $200 million against EFIH.

 

    On March 20, 2015, Cravath provided MTO a written response to the claims and defenses of the TCEH Debtors, which also described claims of EFIH against TCEH.

 

    Between March 24 and March 26, 2015, the disinterested directors and managers and their Conflicts Matter Advisors held extensive in-person negotiations at the Debtors’ offices in Dallas, Texas.

 

    During the in-person negotiations at the Debtors’ offices in Dallas, Texas, other proposals were discussed between the various disinterested directors and managers and their respective Conflicts Matter Advisors.

 

    On March 25, 2015, at the direction of the disinterested manager of EFIH, Cravath refused the March 19 demand of the TCEH Debtors for an allowed unsecured claim of $200 million against EFIH. The TCEH Debtors continued negotiating with EFH, the equity owner of EFIH, over an allowed claim against EFIH.

 

    On March 25, 2015, the disinterested manager of TCEH/EFCH made a further counter-proposal with respect to the Intercompany Claims and the Step-Up Matter of (i) an allowed unsecured claim for TCEH of $710 million against EFH and $25 million against EFIH pari passu plus (ii) a 51% (TCEH)/49% (EFH) sharing of Excess Consideration until EFH receives $42 million plus (iii) 100% of Excess Consideration thereafter to TCEH, and a $10 million distribution to the Equity Holders, and Full Releases.

 

    On March 25, 2015, the disinterested directors of EFH made a further counter-proposal with respect to the Intercompany Claims and the Step-Up Matter of (i) an allowed unsecured claim of $675 million against EFH (with no claim against EFIH) pari passu plus (ii) a 50/50 split of Excess Consideration until TCEH receives $800 million plus (iii) 100% of the Excess Consideration thereafter to EFH, a $10 million distribution to the Equity Holders, and Full Releases.

 

    On March 25, 2015, the disinterested manager of TCEH/EFCH made a further counter-proposal with respect to the Intercompany Claims and the Step-Up Matter of (i) an allowed unsecured claim of $705 million against EFH (no claim against EFIH) pari passu plus (ii) a 50/50 split of Excess Consideration until TCEH receives $925 million plus (iii) a 25% (TCEH)/75% (EFH) sharing of Excess Consideration thereafter, $10 million distribution to the Equity Holders, and Full Releases.

 

    On March 26, 2015, the disinterested directors of EFH made a further counter-proposal with respect to the Intercompany Claims and the Step-Up Matter of (i) an allowed unsecured claim of $700 million against EFH (no claim against EFIH) pari passu with a $700 million recovery by EFH’s creditors and a 50/50 split of Excess Consideration until TCEH receives $800 million with all Excess Consideration thereafter going to EFH, and $10 million distribution to the Equity Holders.

 

   

On March 26, 2015, the Debtors’ disinterested directors and managers reached an agreement in principle with respect to the Disinterested Director Settlement, as described in the Joint Statement and incorporated into the plan of reorganization filed on April 14, 2015. On March 31, 2015, the disinterested manager of EFIH approved the Disinterested Director Settlement on behalf of EFIH in accordance with the authority delegated to him by the full EFIH Board of Managers. On April 1, 2015, the disinterested directors of EFH approved the Disinterested Director Settlement on behalf of EFH pursuant to the authority delegated to them by the full board of directors of EFH. On April 1,

 

125


 

2015, pursuant to the authority delegated to him by the full boards of managers of TCEH and EFCH, the disinterested manager of TCEH/EFCH approved the Disinterested Director Settlement. Before approving the settlement, the disinterested manager of EFCH/TCEH considered, among other things, whether the TCEH Debtors should pursue litigation of their claims against EFH or EFIH as an alternative to entering the Disinterested Director Settlement.

 

    As described above, the Plan contemplates the settlement of all Intercompany Claims, consistent with the Disinterested Director Settlement, in that it releases Intercompany Claims and provides that the TCEH Settlement Claim shall be allowed in the amount of $700 million against EFH Corp. However, the Disinterested Director Settlement provides for, but the Plan does not provide for, distribution of approximately 50% of distributable value of EFH Corp. to TCEH up to a total of $805 million. Under the Plan, the TCEH Settlement Claim shall be deemed satisfied without any distribution upon consummation of the Merger, in which creditors of TCEH will receive the stock of New EFH. Each of (a) the disinterested directors of EFH, (b) the disinterested managers of EFIH, and (c) the disinterested manager of TCEH may (without the consent of the other disinterested managers or disinterested directors, as applicable) terminate the Disinterested Director Settlement if any of them determines, after consultation with counsel, that termination of the Disinterested Director Settlement would be consistent with the exercise of their fiduciary duties.

 

  3. Summary and Discussion of Material Potential Claims Subject to Plan Settlement.

 

  (a) Claims Against Third Parties.

 

  (i) 2007 Acquisition.

Some creditors have argued that at least portions of the 2007 Acquisition could be subject to avoidance actions. Indeed, both the TCEH Committee and the TCEH Unsecured Ad Hoc Group (together, the “TCEH Junior Creditors”) have sought standing to prosecute a constructive fraudulent transfer claim to avoid approximately $21 billion in liens TCEH granted on its assets in connection with the 2007 Acquisition.

The timeliness of any such claim is a contested issue. For instance, the TCEH Junior Creditors assert that the IRS is a “triggering creditor” whose rights the Debtors may use to pursue an avoidable transfer, and that they may rely the IRS’s extended statute of limitations (reachback) period—ten years, according to the TCEH Junior Creditors—to assert claims. Holders of the TCEH First Lien Debt respond that, among other things, a private litigant may not make such use of a government agency’s statute of limitations to pursue private claims.

In addition, there are disputes over whether the IRS is, in fact, a creditor of each Debtor entity on whose behalf standing is sought to assert an avoidance action. Many Debtor entities are “disregarded” for federal income tax purposes, or otherwise are not recognized as taxpayers. Under certain IRS guidance, such entities cannot be held liable for certain kinds of tax obligations unless certain state-law theories (such as veil-piercing and alter-ego-type claims) apply. As a result, the IRS might not be a creditor with respect to certain Debtor entities. Parties might counter that certain entities are liable for tax claims as a result of historic merger activity or on other theories and that, as a result, the IRS is a valid triggering creditor. Whether the IRS’s extended statute of limitations is available for any avoidance action will depend on answers to these and related questions.

Solvency is also a contested issue. The 2007 Acquisition was funded with approximately $8.3 billion in new equity financing and incurrence of approximately $27 billion of new debt by TCEH. In addition, Duff & Phelps Securities, LLC (“Duff & Phelps”) provided a solvency opinion in connection with the 2007 Acquisition. The TCEH Junior Creditors, however, argue that this analysis relied on unrealistically low weighted average costs of capital and unrealistically high natural gas estimates, and was inconsistent with Duff & Phelps’ 2008 goodwill analysis. In response, holders of TCEH First Lien Secured Claims have argued that the substantial market-based evidence, in addition to the Duff & Phelps solvency opinion, support the solvency of TCEH both before and after the 2007 Acquisition. The holders of TCEH First Lien Secured Claims further argue that the TCEH Junior Creditors’ efforts to undermine the contemporaneous evidence, including the contemporaneous solvency opinions, are impermissibly based on hindsight.

 

126


Whether TCEH received reasonably equivalent value in connection with the 2007 Acquisition is also contested. For instance, the TCEH Junior Creditors argue that TCEH did not receive reasonably equivalent value for the debt it incurred and liens it granted in connection with the 2007 Acquisition because TCEH did not retain the proceeds of the debt, but instead distributed most of those proceeds to EFH for EFH to acquire its outstanding equity. Holders of TCEH First Lien Secured Claims respond that TCEH’s incurrence of debt and the associated liens should not be collapsed with the use of those debt proceeds to acquire EFH equity, but that even if the transactions are collapsed, at least $5 billion of the debt proceeds were used to repay antecedent TCEH debt and certain financing fees, such that TCEH received reasonably equivalent value at least to that extent.

Finally, parties will dispute whether elements of the 2007 Acquisition are protected by the safe harbor of Section 546(e) of the Bankruptcy Code. For instance, holders of TCEH First Lien Secured Claims have asserted that § 546(e) precludes avoidance of the liens and obligations incurred by TCEH in connection with the 2007 Acquisition because these transactions involved financial participants and were executed in connection with a securities contract, namely, the Merger Agreement.

Additional claims could arise in connection with this transaction. First, a claimant might seek to assert breach of fiduciary duty claims against the former TXU Corp. board of directors for entering into the LBO. The Board would likely argue that this claim is time-barred under related state statutes of limitation and raise many of the other arguments identified above regarding the transaction.

Second, if the IRS’s extended statute of limitation cannot be used, a claimant might assert breach of fiduciary duty claims against the current EFH board of directors for allowing the relevant state law statutes of limitation related to the LBO transaction to expire. In response, the EFH board might argue that its decisions regarding the timing of a bankruptcy filing and any resulting preclusive effect on avoidance actions are protected by the business judgment rule.

Third, a claimant might pursue fraudulent transfer claims against TXU Corp.’s pre-LBO shareholders for return of the proceeds used to purchase their TXU Corp. shares. The pre-LBO shareholders would likely argue that this cause of action is barred by the safe harbor at 11 U.S.C. § 546(e) because the payments to shareholders qualify as a “settlement payment … made by or to (or for the benefit of) a … financial institution” or a “transfer made by or to (or for the benefit of) a … financial institution … in connection with a securities contract.”

 

  (ii) 2007 Management Agreement.

EFH executed a management agreement with KKR, TPG and Goldman Sachs on October 10, 2007, under which all of EFH’s subsidiaries are obligors (the “Management Agreement”). Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Sponsor Group agreed to provide management, consulting, financial, and other advisory services to EFH Corp. The Management Agreement requires EFH to pay annual Advisory Fees of $35 million, increasing by 2% each year, to the Sponsor Group in equal quarterly installments. The Management Agreement also required EFH Corp. to make a one-time payment of $300 million to the Sponsor Group (and Lehman Brothers Inc.) on account of services provided in connection with the merger and related transactions.

The management advisory fee was $36 million, $35 million, and $8 million for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the period October 11, 2007 to December 31, 2007, respectively. The fee is reported in EFH’s financial statements as “SG&A” expense in “Corporate” and “Other” activities. In 2010, 2011, and 2012, EFH Corporate Services paid members of the Sponsor Group approximately $36.9 million, $37.5 million, and $38.4 million, respectively. Beginning with the quarterly management fee due December 31, 2013, the Sponsor Group, while reserving the right to demand and receive the fees, directed EFH Corp. to suspend payment of the management fees.

Before 2010, EFH and/or EFH Corporate Services paid 100% of the Sponsor Group’s advisory fees, and none of those fees were allocated to TCEH. For the years 2010, 2011, and 2012, EFH Corporate Services paid 100% of the advisory fees, but was reimbursed for those amounts by TCEH subsidiaries.

The $300 million transaction fee and the advisory fees could potentially be challenged as constructive fraudulent conveyances. The Sponsor Group’s defenses to such claims would likely include (a) that the transferors were solvent at the time the payments were made; (b) that that the avoidance of these payments is barred by the statute of limitations; and (c) that EFH received reasonably equivalent value in return for the transaction and advisory fees. In addition, to the extent any creditors allege that the Sponsor Group or affiliates can be held liable for LBO-related transfers beyond the transaction fee, the Sponsor Group and affiliates are likely to argue as well that they were neither the recipients of such transfers nor the entities for whose benefit the transfers were made.

 

127


The allocation of advisory fees to TCEH subsidiaries from 2010 forward could be challenged on the theory that some of those fees should have been allocated to EFH/EFIH. The proper allocation of those fees among the debtors is likely to be a disputed issue.

 

  (iii) Limitation on the Luminant Generation Upstream Guarantee.

Luminant Generation guaranteed the First Lien Debt incurred by TCEH in connection with the 2007 Acquisition. This upstream guarantee was subject to a “savings clause,” which limited the amount of the guarantee to the maximum amount that would not render Luminant Generation insolvent. Some creditors have argued that the 2007 Acquisition rendered Luminant Generation insolvent, and that the savings clause should be enforced to limit the Luminant Generation upstream guarantee. For instance, the EFH Committee has sought standing to prosecute claims on this basis.

Whether the savings clause is enforceable is likely to be disputed. The only court directly addressing the issue ruled that this kind of savings clause is unenforceable in bankruptcy. In re TOUSA, Inc., 422 B.R. 783, 863–65 (Bankr. S.D. Fla. 2009).

Whether the savings clause, even if it is enforceable, limits the Luminant Generation upstream guarantee is disputed. For instance, the TCEH First Lien Creditors have argued that the savings clause does not limit the Luminant Generation upstream guarantee, in part because the 2007 Acquisition did not render Luminant Generation insolvent.

 

  (iv) 2011 “Amend and Extend” Transactions.

In April 2011, TCEH engaged in six related transactions (the “2011 Amend and Extend Transactions”) that addressed certain debt covenants and impending debt maturities. The 2011 Amend and Extend Transactions did so in two principal ways: first, they amended the TCEH First Lien Credit Agreement, including by substantially relaxing a maintenance covenant; and second, they extended maturity dates of $17.78 billion in outstanding TCEH First Lien Debt by three years, from 2013 and 2014 to 2016 and 2017. In furtherance of the debt extension, TCEH issued approximately $1.75 billion in new First Lien Notes, which it used to repay approximately $1.6 billion in old debt.

The TCEH Junior Creditors have sought standing to challenge these transactions as constructive fraudulent transfers and seek to avoid nearly $2.1 billion in fees, incremental interest, and prepayment benefits allegedly transferred by TCEH to the TCEH First Liens. The TCEH Junior Creditors also seek to avoid the liens, security interests, and obligations arising out of the $1.75 billion in new First Lien Notes.

Whether TCEH received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the transfers it made to the TCEH First Liens in connection with the 2011 Amend and Extend Transactions is disputed. First, the TCEH Junior Creditors assert that TCEH transferred nearly $2.1 billion in value to the TCEH First Liens in the following form: (1) over $800 million of fees and costs; (2) over $530 million in incremental interest on the extended debt; (3) approximately $420 million in incremental interest on the $1.75 billion in new First Lien Notes; and (4) approximately $330 million in prepayment benefits on the approximately $1.6 billion of repaid debt. Second, the TCEH Junior Creditors assert these transfers provided little benefit to TCEH, given that even after the transactions approximately 20% of the TCEH First Lien Debt (approximately $4.5 billion) was left unextended and set to mature in 2013 and 2014. The TCEH Junior Creditors argue that this non-extended debt was more than TCEH could reasonably hope to pay without further refinancing or maturity extensions, thus rendering the 80% debt extension worthless.

Holders of TCEH First Lien Secured Claims have responded that TCEH did receive reasonably equivalent value in the 2011 Amend and Extend Transactions. First, they argue that the TCEH Junior Creditors overstate the value transferred by TCEH by at least $750 million, because the alleged $420 million in incremental interest on new debt and $330 million in prepayment benefits on repaid debt are irrelevant for fraudulent transfer purposes. Second, the holders of TCEH First Lien Secured Claims argue that the 2011 Amend and Extend Transactions delivered reasonably equivalent value to TCEH by providing critical capacity for TCEH to sustain a continued market downturn, ensuring continued access to liquidity, and saving billions of dollars in fees and expenses that would have been incurred had the TCEH First Lien Debt been repaid rather than extended.

 

128


The solvency of TCEH at the time of the 2011 Amend and Extend Transactions might also be disputed. The TCEH Junior Creditors have argued that TCEH was insolvent as of March 2011, when EFH issued its 2010 Annual Report, disclosing that EFCH’s liabilities exceeded its assets. Holders of TCEH First Lien Secured Claims might dispute that assertion based on other measures of solvency.

Additionally, the holders of TCEH First Lien Secured Claims have argued that the $1.75 billion in new debt and the associated liens granted, and the prepayment of approximately $1.6 billion in old debt, are each protected by the safe harbor provision of Section 546(e) of the Bankruptcy Code as transfers made “in connection with a securities contract.”

 

  (v) 2013 Revolver Extension.

In late 2012, the Debtors learned that they may receive a “going concern” qualified audit opinion in March 2013, that would have triggered defaults under the TCEH Credit Agreement and a series of cross-defaults across the corporate structure. In light of the potential going concern opinion, in January 2013, EFH, EFCH, and TCEH extended the maturity of approximately $645 million in 2013 revolver commitments from October 2013 to October 2016 (the “2013 Revolver Extension”). In return, TCEH issued the consenting lenders $340 million face value of incremental first lien term loans (with a market value of approximately $228 million) due in October 2017.

The TCEH Junior Creditors have sought standing to challenge the 2013 Revolver Extension as an actual and constructive fraudulent transfer. They seek to avoid $340 million in fees allegedly paid by TCEH to the TCEH First Lien Lenders, and to avoid any lien, security interest, or obligation arising out of the incremental first lien term loans.

Whether TCEH received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the transfers it made to the TCEH First Liens in connection with the 2011 Amend and Extend Transactions will likely be disputed. The TCEH Junior Creditors have alleged that TCEH did not receive equivalent value for these fees because: (1) TCEH entered into the revolver extension solely to buy time to negotiate a consensual restructuring at a time when the company was insolvent and on the brink of bankruptcy; and (2) TCEH knew that 2013 Revolver Extension would leave more than $4 billion in 2014 debt maturities unresolved, making a bankruptcy filing prior to expiration of these maturities inevitable and rendering illusory the three-year extension of $645 million in 2013 revolver commitments.

Holders of First Lien Claims could argue the TCEH Junior Creditors have overstated the consideration paid by TCEH for the 2013 Revolver Extension by focusing on the $340 million face value of the incremental first lien term loans rather than their $228 million market value, and by ignoring the lower market value of the $645 million in revolver commitments after their three-year maturity extension. Holders of First Lien Claims could further argue that the TCEH Junior Creditors understate the value received by TCEH in the 2013 Revolver Extension by ignoring intangible and/or indirect benefits. Wilmington Trust, for instance, has argued that the 2013 Revolver Extension delivered reasonably equivalent value to TCEH by providing breathing room for TCEH to prevent a free fall bankruptcy and to benefit from any potential market improvements.

Likewise, whether TCEH executed the 2013 Revolver Extension with an intent to hinder delay, or defraud creditors will be disputed. The TCEH Junior Creditors have argued, for instance, that at the time of the transaction TCEH knew that a bankruptcy filing was inevitable and that it would be unable to pay its debts as they became due. Wilmington Trust has responded that the TCEH Junior Creditors have failed to identify any evidence of fraudulent intent.

 

  (vi) TXU Receivables.

In October 2013, TXU Receivables Company LLC (“TXU Receivables”) wound down its accounts receivables (“AR”) program. The funds held by TXU Receivables were unencumbered assets. Approximately $335 million of these funds were transferred to TCEH and placed into a segregated, unencumbered JP Morgan account. On February 10, 2014, TCEH transferred approximately $126 million from this segregated account into the TCEH Main Account. The same day, TCEH made an interest payment of approximately $216 million to the TCEH First Lien Creditors (the “February 2014 Interest Payment”). Over the next four days, TCEH transferred approximately $61 million in funds from the segregated account into the Main Account, totaling nearly $188 million in unencumbered funds transferred into the encumbered, Main Account in February 2014 (the “February 2014 Account Transfers”). In March 2014, the remaining balance of approximately $150 million in the unencumbered JP Morgan account was transferred to an unencumbered account with Union Bank.

 

129


Some creditors have argued that the $188 million February 2014 Account Transfers and/or the $216 million February 2014 Interest Payment could be challenged as preferential transfers pursuant to Section 547(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. For example, the TCEH Junior Creditors have sought standing to bring such preference claims, arguing that the February 2014 Account Transfer improved the TCEH First Lien Creditors’ collateral position, and that the February 2014 Interest Payment was likewise a preferential payment on account of an antecedent debt. These claims might overlap, as a portion of the $188 million February 2014 Account Transfers might have been applied to the $216 million February 2014 Interest Payment.

Whether the February 2014 Account Transfers are preferences is disputed. The TCEH First Lien Creditors have argued, for instance, that they do not have possession or control over the TCEH Main Account, such that the February 2014 Account Transfers did not improve their collateral position.

Whether the February 2014 Interest Payment was a preference is likewise disputed. The TCEH First Lien Creditors have argued, for instance, that the payment was an ordinary course payment subject to the protections of § 547(c)(2).

 

  (vii) Avoidance of Unperfected Liens and Security Interests.

Certain security interests on TCEH’s real property and natural resources could be challenged. For example, the TCEH Junior Creditors have sought standing to bring claims alleging that certain of these liens and security interests are unperfected, including “as-extracted” minerals and collateral, real property, vehicles, deposit accounts, commercial tort claims, and other unperfected collateral. Specifically, the TCEH Junior Creditors argue that certain Debtor entities hold fuel stock, nuclear fuel, and/or natural gas valued at approximately $500 million, and that security interests in some portion of these reserves have not been perfected. Likewise, TCEH Junior Creditors allege that there is real property with unperfected liens or security interest, a vehicle fleet with unperfected liens or security interests with a net book value of over $11 million, as well as unperfected liens or security interests in deposit accounts, commercial tort claims and other unperfected collateral.

Whether there are identifiable unperfected liens and security interests on TCEH property is disputed. Wilmington Trust, for instance, has argued that the TCEH Junior Creditors have failed to identify specific liens or security interests that are unperfected.

 

  (viii) Disallowance of OID and Unmatured Interest.

Claims to the Debtors’ estates that include unmatured interest could be challenged. For instance, the TCEH Junior Creditors have sought standing to prosecute a claim to disallow an alleged $8 million of unaccreted original issue discount (“OID”) associated with the $1.75 billion in First Lien Notes issued by TCEH in connection with the 2011 Amend and Extend Transactions. Whether unaccreted OID should be disallowed might be disputed.

 

  (b) Intercompany Claims.

 

  (i) 2005 Oncor Transfer.

In 2005, TXU Corporation (now known as EFH) executed an internal restructuring of TXU Electric Delivery Company LLC (now known as Oncor). The equity of Oncor was dividended from its parent TXU US Holdings Company (now known as EFCH) to its ultimate parent TXU Corp., at which point TXU Electric Delivery Company operated as a separate wholly-owned subsidiary of EFH. This internal spin-off (the “2005 Oncor Transfer”) could be challenged as a possible constructive fraudulent transfer on the grounds that TXU US Holdings Company was insolvent or was rendered insolvent by the transaction and that it did not receive reasonably equivalent value for transferring its interest in TXU Electric Delivery Company to TXU Corp.

The timeliness of any such claim would likely be contested. As discussed above, parties could assert that the limitations periods applicable to the IRS apply, but such an argument would be subject to dispute. Additionally, while the IRS has filed a proof of claim against EFH that includes 2004 income taxes, it is unclear whether any amount is actually owed for 2004 or 2005.

 

130


Also, the solvency of TXU US Holdings Company would likely be contested. An opponent would likely argue that TXU US Holdings Company was solvent both before and after the 2005 Oncor Transfer. A claimant would likely respond that the 2005 Oncor Transfer should be “collapsed” into the 2007 Acquisition as one unified transfer, and that EFCH was insolvent after the 2007 Acquisition. An opponent would likely reply that the 2005 Oncor Transfer and 2007 Acquisition were different transactions separated by nearly two years and undertaken for different purposes and should not be treated as a single transfer.

 

  (ii) The 2007 Acquisition.

The distribution of approximately $21 billion in debt proceeds by TCEH to EFH for the purpose of acquiring EFH equity in the 2007 Acquisition could be challenged as a fraudulent transfer. As with claims against third parties in connection with the 2007 Acquisition, disputed issues would likely include the timeliness of any such claim (including whether the IRS as a litigant could make use of the IRS’s statute of limitations), TCEH’s solvency, and the application of Section 546(e) of the Bankruptcy Code. Moreover, payments made by TCEH at the time of the Acquisition to retire debt at a joint TCEH/Oncor credit facility could be challenged as constructive fraudulent transfers.

 

  (iii) Dividends by Luminant Generation.

Creditors have asserted that dividends by Luminant Generation to TCEH or payments made by Luminant Generation to service TCEH debt could be challenged on the grounds that Luminant Generation was insolvent at the time of the dividends or payments and received no value in exchange for them. For instance, the EFH Committee has sought standing to avoid any such dividends or payments as constructive fraudulent transfers. In connection with this claim, the facts concerning any such dividends and Luminant Generation’s solvency would likely be disputed issues.

 

  (iv) Liability Management Program.

EFH and its subsidiaries (other than Oncor Electric) initiated a Liability Management Program (“LMP”) in 2009. This program was designed to reduce outstanding debt, extend debt maturities, and reduce interest expense. The LMP transactions primarily involved the creation and exchange of debt at EFH and EFIH. Some or all of these transactions could be challenged as fraudulent transfers or preferences, including:

 

    Through seven transactions between November 2009 and January 2013, EFIH exchanged newly issued EFIH debt for existing EFH debt. Some, but not all of, the EFH debt acquired by EFIH in the exchanges had been guaranteed by EFIH at the time of issuance.

 

    Through three sets of dividends (in November 2009, October 2011, and December 2012/January 2013), EFIH dividended to EFH notes acquired in the debt exchanges. EFIH had guaranteed the EFH notes at the time of issuance. EFH canceled and retired all of the EFH notes, eliminating EFIH’s exposure on the guarantees.

 

    Through two debt issuances in February and August 2012, EFIH issued new secured debt to raise $2 billion in the aggregate ($1.15 billion in February and $850 million in August). Following each debt issuance, EFIH issued dividends to EFH ($950 million in February, following the February issuance, and $680 million in January 2013, following the August 2012 issuance).

 

    After receiving the dividends from EFIH (in February 2012 and January 2013, as described above), EFH repaid $1.65 billion in the aggregate to TCEH. These payments satisfied EFH’s obligations under intercompany demand notes with TCEH, both of which had been guaranteed by EFIH.

 

    In January 2010, EFH issued new debt, guaranteed by EFIH on a secured basis, to raise $500 million in cash. EFH used some of the proceeds to purchase old EFH debt in a series of five purchase transactions between March 2010 and December 2011.

 

    In a series of six transactions between November 2009 and October 2011, EFH exchanged new debt, guaranteed by EFIH, for old EFH and TCEH debt. EFH canceled and retired the old EFH debt tendered in the exchanges. Some of the old EFH notes had been guaranteed by EFIH at the time of issuance.

 

131


These LMP transactions could be challenged as fraudulent transfers. For example, in their standing motions the TCEH Junior Creditors have claimed that the issuance by EFIH of $406 million of 11% second lien notes due October 2021 in exchange for $428 million of various EFH unsecured notes benefitted exchanging creditors by improving their position in the event of a subsequent bankruptcy. It could be argued that EFIH did not receive reasonably equivalent value for its issuance of new second lien notes in exchange for EFH Unsecured Notes.

The timeliness of any such claim would likely be disputed. An opponent of this claim would likely argue that any potentially relevant state-law statute of limitation for fraudulent transfer causes of action has expired. In response, a claimant would likely assert that the IRS is a triggering creditor and that the IRS’s extended limitations period therefore applies. Whether a private litigant may make such use of a government agency’s statute of limitations to pursue private claims would be disputed. See Section (a)(i).

It could be argued that certain of the LMP transactions should be collapsed and analyzed as a whole, rather than in discrete parts. For instance, the TCEH Junior Creditors have asserted that the issuance and exchange should be collapsed and viewed as one interrelated transaction, as part of the 2011 Amend & Extend program. Collapsing the transactions could have an impact both on the timeliness of any claim and on the assessment of whether reasonably equivalent value was exchanged.

Solvency would also likely be contested issue. Determining the solvency of each transferor at the time of each LMP transaction would require a fact- and expert-intensive analysis. Additionally, it could be argued that the LMP transactions fall within the safe harbor of Section 546(e) of the Bankruptcy Code as “settlement payment[s] . . . made by or to (or for the benefit of) a . . . financial institution” or as “transfer[s] made by or to (or for the benefit of) a . . . financial institution . . . in connection with a securities contract.”

 

  (v) TCEH Intercompany Demand Notes.

Between 2007 and 2013, TCEH made intercompany loans to EFH. EFH repaid the loans in full in January of 2013, including interest. TCEH’s intercompany loans to EFH could be challenged on the theory that they were made at below-market interest rates that EFH could not have obtained in an arm’s-length transaction. EFH’s repayment of the intercompany loans in 2012 and 2013 could also be challenged as constructive fraudulent transfers.

In October 2007, TCEH entered into promissory notes with EFH that provided that TCEH would lend funds to cover SG&A and principal and interest expenses (“TCEH Intercompany Notes”). The TCEH Intercompany Notes were payable-on-demand and accrued interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 500 bps. While the TCEH Intercompany Notes were later restated to add EFIH as a guarantor, they were not re-priced and remained payable-on-demand to TCEH. In April 2011, TCEH’s senior lenders acknowledged the arm’s length nature of the TCEH Intercompany Notes in connection with the 2011 Amend & Extend Transaction.

In February and August 2012, EFIH issued new secured debt to raise $2 billion in the aggregate—$1.15 billion in February and $850 million in August 2012. Following each debt issuance, EFIH issued dividends to EFH—$950 million in February 2012 and $680 million in January 2013. In February 2012 and January 2013, EFH repaid $1.65 billion in the aggregate to TCEH. These payments satisfied EFH’s principal and contractual interest obligations under the TCEH Intercompany Notes.

Prior to the petition date, Aurelius Capital Master Ltd. and ACP Master Ltd. (collectively, “Aurelius”) filed a creditor derivative suit in Texas against EFCH and its directors. Aurelius sought approximately $725 million in lost interest expenses on the theory that the interest rate on the TCEH Intercompany Notes was below-market rate and TCEH/EFCH were insolvent during the period, such that the loans constituted fraudulent transfers of EFCH and that the directors thus breached their fiduciary duty in allowing the fraudulent transfers. While the Texas court dismissed the prepetition complaint against EFCH and its directors based on Texas standing law, these potential claims could be re-asserted in the Chapter 11 Cases.

 

132


The terms of the TCEH Intercompany Notes to TCEH would likely be disputed. It could be argued that the interest rate on the TCEH Intercompany Notes—which averaged between 5.5% and 6.0%—should have been higher, and that even if the rate was reasonable when the TCEH Intercompany Notes were originated in 2007, TCEH should have demanded repayment or declined to make further advances once the rate diverged from the market rate on EFH notes. On the other hand, defendants would likely argue that LIBOR plus 500 bps was market rate for EFH notes in 2007, that EFH did not breach the TCEH Intercompany Notes, and that senior lenders ratified the terms of the TCEH Intercompany Notes in 2011. Furthermore, defendants would likely argue that TCEH’s Board regularly evaluated the option to demand repayment, but decided against doing so for justifiable businesses reasons. Finally, defendants would argue that TCEH reasonably believed that EFH and EFIH had the ability to repay the Intercompany Demand Notes when a demand was made, as evidenced by the successful repayment in 2013.

EFH’s repayment of the TCEH Intercompany Notes in January 2013 could also be challenged as a constructive fraudulent transfer. Although this repayment on account of an antecedent debt lies outside the one-year preference period for insider transactions under Section 547(b)(4)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code, some states recognize a cause of action to recover a payment to an “insider” on account of an antecedent debt under a fraudulent transfer theory, thus permitting a debtor to leverage the applicable state law statute of limitations to challenge such payments. Whether applicable law recognizes such a cause of action would likely be disputed.

It could also be argued that EFIH’s debt issuances, cash dividends to EFH, and EFH’s payments to TCEH should be collapsed, because EFIH, EFH, and TCEH each had knowledge of the other transactions, and the note repayments in February 2012 and January 2013 could not have occurred without EFIH’s debt issuances and cash dividends. If the transactions are collapsed, it could be argued that EFIH did not receive reasonably equivalent value because, among other reasons, EFIH received little direct consideration for its contributions to the transaction. Defendants would respond that even if the transactions are collapsed, EFIH received reasonably equivalent value in that it was released as a guarantor of the $1.65 billion TCEH Intercompany Notes.

 

  (vi) EFH and EFIH Holdings of TCEH Debt.

A disputed issue will be whether EFH and/or EFIH can use their respective holdings of TCEH unsecured notes and/or TCEH First Lien Claims to set off their liabilities, if any, on TCEH’s claims against them.

 

  (vii) Luminant “Makewhole” Payments.

Luminant Generation was obligated to make payments to Oncor Electric under two “make-whole” agreements entered into in connection with the deregulation of the electric utility industry in Texas effective January 1, 2002. In accordance with a PUCT order issued as part of deregulation, Oncor Electric issued securitization (transition) bonds to recover generation-related regulatory assets, with the principal and interest on the bonds recoverable through a transition surcharge to its customers. In accordance with the Master Separation Agreement dated December 14, 2001, Luminant entered into the January 1, 2002 Tax Make-Whole Agreement to reimburse Oncor Electric’s incremental taxes related to the transition surcharges it collected. Luminant also entered into the January 1, 2004 Interest Make-Whole Agreement to reimburse Oncor Electric for interest expenses on the financing of the transition bonds. Under the Interest Make-Whole Agreement, Luminant agreed to “reimburse” Oncor Electric for “the difference between the present value and book value of the Generation-Related Regulatory Assets,” as required by the terms of the Master Separation Agreement.

In the Spring of 2012, Oncor Electric initiated discussions regarding settling Luminant’s obligations under the Tax and Interest Makewhole Agreements in order to reduce its overall exposure to TCEH. Oncor Electric agreed to accept a one-time payment of approximately $159 million in settlement of Luminant’s obligations to Oncor Electric through 2016 but requested that EFIH act as an intermediary in the proposed settlement. In August 2012, EFIH purchased those obligations from Oncor Electric for approximately $159 million (the “August 2012 Makewhole Payment”). In September 2012, Luminant paid EFIH the same amount—approximately $159 million—in full satisfaction of its obligations under both agreements (the “September 2012 Makewhole Payment”). One or both of these transactions could be challenged as constructive fraudulent transfers.

EFIH’s solvency as of its August 2012 Makewhole Payment would likely be a disputed issue. It could be argued that EFIH was not solvent at that time because, among other things, its liquidity generally depended on intercompany cash flows from EFH, Oncor Electric, and TCEH. Oncor Electric, however, could point to contemporaneous evidence that EFIH was solvent, including its successful issuance of $600 million Senior Secured Second Lien Notes in August 2012.

 

133


Whether EFIH received reasonably equivalent value for the August 2012 Makewhole Payment would also likely be disputed. It could be argued that EFIH should have paid Oncor Electric less than Luminant would pay EFIH, because EFIH accepted litigation risk without a potential benefit. Oncor Electric would likely respond by emphasizing the benefits it received from Luminant’s early settlement. For instance, Oncor Electric could argue that EFIH benefitted because without the settlement, Oncor Electric might have withheld dividends to EFIH to compensate for its exposure to Luminant’s credit risk—exacerbating EFIH’s liquidity situation.

It could also be argued that the September 2012 Makewhole Payment should be avoided. Creditors may argue that Luminant did not receive reasonably equivalent value. Although this repayment on account of an antecedent debt lies outside the one-year preference period for insider transactions under Section 547(b)(4)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code, some states recognize a cause of action to recover a payment to an “insider” on account of an antecedent debt under a fraudulent transfer theory, thus permitting a debtor to leverage the applicable state law statute of limitations to challenge such payments. Whether applicable law recognizes such a cause of action would likely be disputed.

Luminant’s solvency as of its September 2012 Makewhole Payment would also likely be contested. It could be argued that EFH acknowledged that it and TCEH were balance sheet insolvent at least as of February 18, 2011, when EFH issued its annual report for 2010.

 

  (viii) Shared Services.

EFH Corporate Services Company provides shared services to TCEH and its subsidiaries (among other entities). Costs of those services—including management fees paid to the Sponsor Group—have historically been allocated among the entities that receive the services. Before 2013, the companies’ arrangements concerning shared services were not reflected in a written agreement. In 2013, EFH and its subsidiaries entered a Shared Services Agreement to memorialize these practices. Between 2007 and 2014, TCEH paid more than $1.3 billion for services provided through EFH Corporate Services Company.

Payments made by TCEH for shared services could be challenged as constructive fraudulent transfers to or for the benefit of EFH or EFIH on the grounds that TCEH overpaid for its share of the services and that EFH and EFIH received and did not pay for services that were paid for by TCEH. EFH Corporate Services’ primary defenses to such claims would likely be (a) that TCEH received reasonably equivalent value in the form of services rendered; (b) that TCEH was solvent at the time that a large portion of the payments were made; and (c) that the avoidance of certain payments are barred by the statute of limitations. EFH’s and EFIH’s primary defenses to such claims would likely be the same and that the allocations were fair based on actual usage of services.

 

  (i) Intercompany Tax Issues Related to Tax Sharing.

 

  (A) Intercompany Tax Payables and Receivables Reflected in the Debtors’ SOFAs and Schedules.

As of the Petition Date, the Debtors’ books and records reflected several intercompany tax payables and receivables. These amounts were also included in the Debtors’ SOFAs and Schedules, and were initially not marked as contingent, unliquidated, or disputed. Specifically, the Debtors’ books and records, as well as the SOFAs and Schedules, included:

 

    a payable of approximately $1.29 billion owed from Luminant Generation Company LLC (“Luminant Generation”) to EFH;

 

    a payable of approximately $754 million owed from EFH to TCEH;

 

    a payable of approximately $2.9 million owed from TXU Energy Retail Company LLC (“TXU Energy”) to EFH;

 

134


    a payable of approximately $1.4 million owed from Luminant Energy Company LLC (“Luminant Energy”) to EFH; and

 

    a payable of approximately $5.4 million owed from EFH to EFCH.

These intercompany tax payables primarily relate to the application of the Competitive Tax Allocation Agreement (executed in May 2012) entered into among certain Debtors to two tax settlements with the IRS: (1) the settlement of certain issues related to the 1997-2002 taxable years (the “2002 Settlement”); and (2) the settlement of the 2003-2006 taxable years (the “2006 Settlement”).

Various aspects of the above payables and receivables are disputed. These disputes relate to, among other issues, (i) the language of the Competitive Tax Allocation Agreement (the “TAA”) and whether the claims by and against EFH should be netted against each other under the TAA, (ii) whether the claims were calculated correctly, (iii) whether the TAA applies to all of the tax years governed by the IRS Settlements, (iv) whether the tax sharing methodology used by the Debtors was consistent with the TAA, and (v) potential other issues.

 

  (B) 2013 Cash Tax Sharing Payment.

In addition to the intercompany tax payables discussed above, in 2013, TCEH made a cash tax sharing payment of approximately $101.7 million to EFH for both federal and state taxes ($84.4 million of which related to federal taxes, with the rest relating to state taxes). This cash tax sharing payment relates to issues addressed by the 2002 Settlement that are not reflected in the payables discussed above.

This payment could be challenged as an avoidable preference under the Bankruptcy Code or as an “insider” fraudulent transfer under state law. EFH would likely counter that there are defenses to such a claim, including that the payment was made in the ordinary course of the Debtors’ business. Whether the ordinary course of business defense applies under this factual scenario would likely be disputed.

 

  (c) Claims for Breach of Fiduciary Duty and Aiding and Abetting.

The transactions discussed above could also be the subject of claims for breach of fiduciary duty against the Debtors’ directors and managers. First, it could be alleged that in approving transactions that arguably dissipated the Debtors’ assets, the directors and managers failed to exercise due care. Second, it could be alleged that in approving intercompany transactions in which they were arguably not disinterested, the directors and managers breached their duty of loyalty.

The timeliness of any such claims may be disputed to the extent that the transactions took place outside the relevant statute of limitations, which may be shorter than the statute of limitations for a fraudulent transfer claim.

The standard of review on any such claim would also likely be a disputed issue. The directors and managers would likely argue that the business judgment rule applies. The business judgment rule is “a rebuttable presumption that in making a business decision the directors of a corporation acted on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action taken was in the best interests of the company”; if satisfied, the directors and managers will not be “questioned” or “second guessed” in their conduct of corporate affairs. ASARCO LLC v. Americas Min. Corp., 396 B.R. 278, 405 (S.D. Tex. 2008). It could be argued, however, that claims related to certain transactions should be reviewed under the entire fairness standard, under which a director or manager must prove both fair dealing and fair price. See, e.g., Weinberger v. UOP, Inc., 457 A.2d 701, 711 (Del. 1983). Whether the directors and managers satisfied their duties under either standard will also likely be disputed.

The directors and managers would also likely argue that, to the extent they are liable for any breach of fiduciary duty, the Debtors are obligated to indemnify them.

The transactions discussed above could also be the subject of claims for aiding and abetting a breach of fiduciary duty. It could be alleged, for instance, that although the Sponsor Group did not directly owe duties to the Debtors, they played a key role in causing the Debtors’ directors or managers to allegedly breach their duties. See, e.g., ASARCO, 396 B.R. at 415-16. Whether there was in fact an underlying breach, and whether the Sponsor Group had a hand in causing that breach, will be disputed issues. Moreover, the Sponsor Group would likely argue that, to the extent they are liable for any breach of fiduciary duty, the Debtors are obligated to indemnify them.

 

135


  (d) Claims Relating to the Rabbi Trusts.

EFH maintains three rabbi trusts in connection with its two non-qualified benefits programs: (a) a contributory, non-qualified defined contribution plan that permits participants to voluntarily defer a portion of their base salary and/or annual incentive plan bonuses, known as the Salary Deferral Program, and (b) a non-contributory, non-qualified pension plan that provides retirement benefits to participants whose tax-qualified pension benefits are limited due to restrictions under the Internal Revenue Code and/or deferrals to other defined benefit programs, known as the Second Supplemental Retirement Plan (collectively, the “Non-Qualified Benefit Programs”). Obligations under the Non-Qualified Benefit Programs are, in part, funded by rabbi trusts owned by EFH Corp. As of the Petition Date, the rabbi trusts are overfunded. As of the Petition Date, the rabbi trust for the Salary Deferral Program had approximately $9.9 million in assets and the rabbi trusts for the Second Supplemental Retirement Plan had approximately $13.8 million in assets.

The TCEH Junior Creditors have sought standing to prosecute a claim asserting that under the terms of the rabbi trust agreements, if EFH Corp. or any of the “Participating Employers” (i.e., TCEH and its subsidiaries) becomes insolvent, the assets in the trust become available for the benefit of general creditors of EFH and the Participating Employers. EFH Corp. will likely dispute this conclusion, at least with respect to the Salary Deferral Program. EFH Corp. will likely argue that the Plan and Trust Agreements related to the Salary Deferral Program provide that assets in the trust shall be used to satisfy the claims of EFH Corp.’s creditors and do not make any reference to the Participating Employers.

 

  4. Discharge of Claims and Termination of Interests.

Pursuant to section 1141(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, and except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or in any contract, instrument, or other agreement or document created pursuant to the Plan, the distributions, rights, and treatment that are provided in the Plan shall be in complete satisfaction, discharge, and release, effective as of the Effective Date, of Claims (including any Intercompany Claims resolved or compromised after the Effective Date by the Reorganized Debtors), Interests, and Causes of Action of any nature whatsoever, including any interest accrued on Claims or Interests from and after the Petition Date, whether known or unknown, against, liabilities of, Liens on, obligations of, rights against, and Interests in, the Debtors or any of their assets or properties, regardless of whether any property shall have been distributed or retained pursuant to the Plan on account of such Claims and Interests, including demands, liabilities, and Causes of Action that arose before the Effective Date, any liability (including withdrawal liability) to the extent such Claims or Interests relate to services performed by employees of the Debtors before the Effective Date and that arise from a termination of employment, any contingent or non-contingent liability on account of representations or warranties issued on or before the Effective Date, and all debts of the kind specified in sections 502(g), 502(h), or 502(i) of the Bankruptcy Code, in each case whether or not: (1) a Proof of Claim based upon such debt or right is Filed or deemed Filed pursuant to section 501 of the Bankruptcy Code; (2) a Claim or Interest based upon such debt, right, or Interest is Allowed pursuant to section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code; or (3) the Holder of such a Claim or Interest has accepted the Plan. Any default or “event of default” by the Debtors or Affiliates with respect to any Claim or Interest that existed immediately before or on account of the Filing of the Chapter 11 Cases shall be deemed cured (and no longer continuing) as of the Effective Date. The Confirmation Order shall be a judicial determination of the discharge of all Claims and Interests subject to the Effective Date occurring.

 

  5. Release of Liens.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or in any contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document created pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date and concurrently with the applicable distributions made pursuant to the Plan and, in the case of a Secured Claim, satisfaction in full of the portion of the Secured Claim that is Allowed as of the Effective Date, except for Other Secured Claims that the Debtors elect to Reinstate in accordance with Article III.B.1, III.B.16, or III.B.26 of the Plan, all mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, or other security interests against any property of the Estates shall be fully released and discharged, and all of the right, title, and interest of any Holder of such mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, or other security interests shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors and their successors and assigns, in each case, without any further approval or order of the Bankruptcy Court and without any action or Filing being required to be made by the Debtors.

  6. Releases by the Debtors.

In addition to any release provided in the Settlement Order, pursuant to section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, for good and valuable consideration, on and after the Effective Date, each Released Party is deemed released and discharged by the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and their Estates from any and all Claims and Causes of Action, including Claims and Causes of Action identified, claimed, or released in the Standing Motions, the Litigation Letters, or the Disinterested Directors Settlement, as well as all other Claims and Causes of Action, whether known or unknown, including any derivative claims, asserted on behalf of the Debtors, that the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or their Estates would have been legally entitled to assert in their own right (whether individually or collectively) or on behalf of the Holder of any Claim or Interest, based on or relating to, or in any manner arising from, in whole or in part, the Debtors (including, the management, ownership or operation thereof), the Debtors’ in- or out-of-court restructuring efforts, intercompany transactions (including dividends paid), transactions pursuant and/or related to the Master Separation Agreement dated December 12, 2001, the TCEH Credit Agreement, the TCEH First Lien Notes, the Cash Collateral Order (and any payments or transfers in connection therewith), the TCEH First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Liability Management Program, the Tax Sharing Agreements, the 2007 Acquisition, the Management Agreement, the 2009 amendment to the TCEH Credit Agreement, the 2011 Amend and Extend Transactions, the 2005 Oncor Transfer, the 2013 Revolver Extension, the Luminant Makewhole Settlement, the Tax and Interest Makewhole Agreements, the TCEH Intercompany Notes, the Shared Services, any preference or avoidance claim pursuant to sections 544, 547, 548, and 549 of the Bankruptcy Code, the formulation, preparation, dissemination, negotiation, or Filing of the Terminated Restructuring Support Agreement, the Plan Support Agreement, the EFIH First Lien Settlement, or any Restructuring Transaction, contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document (including providing any legal opinion requested by any Entity regarding any transaction, contract, instrument, document, or other agreement contemplated by the Plan or the reliance by any Released Party on the Plan or the Confirmation Order in lieu of such legal opinion) created or entered into in connection with the Plan Support Agreement, the Terminated Restructuring Support Agreement, the Disclosure Statement, the Plan, the Transaction Agreements, the DIP Facilities, the Chapter 11 Cases, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, the pursuit of Confirmation, the pursuit of Consummation, the administration and implementation of the Plan, including the issuance or distribution of Securities pursuant to the Plan, or the distribution of property under the Plan, the Transaction Agreements, or any other related agreement, or upon any other act or omission, transaction, agreement, event, or other occurrence taking place on or before the Effective Date related or related to the foregoing.

  9. Injunction.

In addition to any injunction provided in the Settlement Order, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or for obligations issued or required to be paid pursuant to the Plan or the Confirmation Order, all Entities that have held, hold, or may hold claims or interests that have been released pursuant to Article VIII.C. or Article VIII.D. of the Plan, shall be discharged pursuant to Article VIII.A. of the Plan, or are subject to exculpation pursuant to Article VIII.E. of the Plan, are permanently enjoined, from and after the Effective Date, from taking any of the following actions against, as applicable, the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or the Released Parties: (i) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding of any kind on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such claims or interests; (ii) enforcing, attaching, collecting, or recovering by any manner or means any judgment, award, decree, or order against such Entities on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such claims or interests; (iii) creating, perfecting, or enforcing any lien or encumbrance of any kind against such Entities or the property or the estates of such Entities on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such claims or interests; (iv) asserting any right of setoff, subrogation, or recoupment of any kind against any obligation due from such Entities or against

 

138


the property of such Entities on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such claims or interests unless such Entity has timely asserted such setoff right in a document Filed with the Bankruptcy Court explicitly preserving such setoff, and notwithstanding an indication of a claim or interest or otherwise that such Entity asserts, has, or intends to preserve any right of setoff pursuant to applicable law or otherwise; and (v) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding of any kind on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such claims or interests released or settled pursuant to the Plan.

139


VI. Confirmation of the Plan

 

A. The Confirmation Hearing.

The Bankruptcy Court entered the Confirmation Scheduling Order attached to this Disclosure Statement as Exhibit J, which (a) scheduled certain dates and deadlines in connection with the Disclosure Statement Proceedings approval of this Disclosure Statement (the “Disclosure Statement Proceedings”) and the confirmation of the Plan (the “Confirmation Proceedings” and, together with the Disclosure Statement Proceedings, the “Proceedings”) and (b) established certain protocols in connection with the Proceedings (the “Protocols”). The schedule of dates and deadlines includes:

Approval of Disclosure Statement:

 

    Thursday, August 11, 2015, at 4:00 p.m. (prevailing Eastern Time) shall be the deadline by which any party, including the Participating Parties, must file any objections to the Disclosure Statement.71

 

    [Date], at [Time] a.m. (prevailing Eastern Time) shall be the date and time of the start of the hearing for the Court to consider approval of the Disclosure Statement.72

Confirmation of the Plan:

 

    If Plan proposes to pay all Allowed Claims of EFIH and EFH creditors in full, in cash, and is agreed to by the TCEH First Lien Ad Hoc Committee, the TCEH Second Lien Indenture Trustee, the TCEH Committee, and the TCEH Unsecured Ad Hoc Group, the Confirmation Hearing shall commence on October 5, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. (prevailing Eastern Time) and terminate on October 8, 2015 (the “Confirmation Hearing”).

The Protocols (a) establish the manner by which parties can initiate their participation in the Disclosure Statement Proceedings or the Confirmation Proceedings, (b) make clear the scope of the Confirmation Proceedings, (c) delineate parameters for discovery, and (d) clarify certain processes relating to the Disclosure Statement Proceedings and the Confirmation Proceedings. The Protocols will streamline and reduce unnecessary costs in the discovery processes by requiring the coordination of requests for discovery; outlining the manner in which documents shall be produced; placing defined limits on document requests, interrogatories, and depositions; barring discovery that is duplicative of prior discovery issued in the Chapter 11 Cases; and instituting a procedure for resolving any discovery disputes. Given the number of parties that the Debtors anticipate will disagree with and object to various terms of the Plan and averments in this Disclosure Statement, the Protocols also provide for the Debtors to be relieved from the page limit set forth in Local Rule 7007-2(a)(iv) when filing any brief or declaration in support of Plan confirmation or approval of the Disclosure Statement.

At the Confirmation Hearing, the Bankruptcy Court will determine whether the Plan should be Confirmed in light of both the affirmative requirements of the Bankruptcy Code and any objections, if any, that are timely filed.

 

71 On August 8, 2015, the Debtors filed the Notice Extending Deadline for Parties to File and Serve Objections to Disclosure Statement, extending the deadline to file objections to the Disclosure Statement from August 6, 2015 to August 11, 2015 [D.I. 5219].
72 In addition, the Protocols require Participating Parties to serve consolidated discovery requests no later than five days after the Debtors file an amended Plan. Following the July 23, 2015 filing of the Plan, (a) 252 requests for production, 52 interrogatories, and one 30(b)(6) request addressing six topics were filed against the Debtors, (b) approximately 400 additional requests were filed against the disinterested directors and managers of EFH Corp., EFIH, and EFCH/TCEH, and (c) a further additional 275 requests were filed against third-parties.

 

140


B. Requirements for Confirmation.

 

  1. Requirements of Section 1129(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Among the requirements for Confirmation are the following: (a) the Plan is accepted by all impaired Classes of Claims and Interests or, if the Plan is rejected by an impaired Class, that it “does not discriminate unfairly” and is “fair and equitable” as to such Class; (b) the Plan is feasible; and (c) the Plan is in the “best interests” of Holders of Claims and Holders of Interests that are Impaired under its provisions.

At the Confirmation Hearing, the Bankruptcy Court will determine whether the Plan satisfies the requirements of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors believe that the Plan satisfies or will satisfy all of the necessary requirements of chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Specifically, in addition to other applicable requirements, the Debtors believe that the Plan satisfies or will satisfy the applicable Confirmation requirements of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code set forth below:

 

    The Plan complies with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

    The Debtors, as the Plan proponents, have complied with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

    The Plan has been proposed in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law.

 

    Any payment made or promised under the Plan for services or for costs and expenses in, or in connection with, the Chapter 11 Cases, or in connection with the Plan and incident to the Chapter 11 Cases, will be disclosed to the Bankruptcy Court, and any such payment: (a) made before Confirmation will be reasonable or (b) will be subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court as reasonable, if it is to be fixed after Confirmation.

 

    Either each Holder of an Impaired Claim or Interest will accept the Plan, or each non-accepting Holder will receive or retain under the Plan on account of such Claim or Interest, property of a value, as of the Effective Date, that is not less than the amount that the Holder would receive or retain if the Debtors were liquidated on that date under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

    Except to the extent that the Holder of a particular Claim agrees to a different treatment of its Claim, the Plan provides that Administrative Claims and Other Priority Claims will be paid in full on the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable.

 

    At least one Class of Impaired Claims will have accepted the Plan, determined without including any acceptance of the Plan by any insider holding a Claim in that Class.

 

    Confirmation is not likely to be followed by liquidation or the need for further financial reorganization of the Debtors or any successors thereto under the Plan.

 

    All fees of the type described in 28 U.S.C. § 1930, including the fees of the U.S. Trustee, will be paid as of the Effective Date.

Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that a class of claims has accepted a plan of reorganization if such plan has been accepted by creditors that hold at least two-thirds in amount and more than one-half in number of the allowed claims of such class. Section 1126(d) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that a class of interests has accepted a plan of reorganization if such plan has been accepted by holders of such interests that hold at least two-thirds in amount of the allowed interests of such class.

The Debtors believe that the Plan will be able to satisfy each of the 1129(a) confirmation requirements. To determine whether the Plan meets the feasibility requirement, the Debtors have analyzed their ability to meet their respective obligations under the Plan. As part of this analysis, the Debtors have prepared the Financial Projections for

 

141


Reorganized TCEH, attached to this Disclosure Statement as Exhibit E, and the Financial Projections for Reorganized EFH, attached to this Disclosure Statement as Exhibit F, each incorporated into this Disclosure Statement by reference. Based upon the Financial Projections, the Debtors believe that the Debtors will be a viable operation following the Chapter 11 Cases, and that the Plan will meet the feasibility requirements of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

  2. Best Interests of Creditors/Liquidation Analysis.

Pursuant to section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, often called the “best interests test,” holders of allowed claims must either (a) accept the plan of reorganization, or (b) receive or retain under the plan property of a value, as of the plan’s assumed effective date, that is not less than the value such non-accepting holders would receive or retain if the debtors were to be liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code on such date.

To demonstrate compliance with the “best interests test,” the Debtors estimated a range of proceeds that would be generated from a hypothetical chapter 7 liquidation in their liquidation for the TCEH Debtors (the “Liquidation Analysis”), which is attached to this Disclosure Statement as Exhibit H and incorporated into this Disclosure Statement by reference.

In the Liquidation Analysis for the TCEH Debtors, the Debtors determined a hypothetical liquidation value of the TCEH Debtors’ businesses if a chapter 7 trustee were appointed and charged with reducing to cash any and all of the Debtors’ assets. The Debtors compared this hypothetical liquidation value to the value and returns provided for under the Plan. The Debtors did not perform a liquidation analysis for the EFH Debtors or the EFIH Debtors because all Allowed Claims asserted by Holders of Claims against the EFH Debtors and the EFIH Debtors are being paid in full under the Plan, and Holders of Claims are not permitted to receive more than a 100% recovery under a plan of reorganization or a liquidation under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. Accordingly, Holders of Claims against the EFH Debtors and the EFIH Debtors are receiving at least as much under the Plan as they would receive in a hypothetical liquidation under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.

As reflected in more detail in the Liquidation Analysis, the Debtors believe that the value of any distributions if the Chapter 11 Cases were converted to cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code would not be greater than the value of distributions under the Plan. Readers should carefully review the information in Exhibit H in its entirety.

 

  3. Feasibility/Financial Projections.

Section 1129(a)(11) of the Bankruptcy Code requires that confirmation of the plan of reorganization is not likely to be followed by the liquidation or the need for further financial reorganization of the debtor, or any successor to the debtor (unless such liquidation or reorganization is proposed in the plan of reorganization).

Attached to this Disclosure Statement as Exhibit E, and incorporated into this Disclosure Statement by reference, are the unaudited pro forma financial statements with regard to Reorganized TCEH for the time period from 2015 to 2020 (the “Reorganized TCEH Financial Projections”), and attached to this Disclosure Statement as Exhibit F, and incorporated into this Disclosure Statement by reference, are the projections presented for Oncor for the time period from 2015 to 2022 on a consolidated basis and as if Oncor operated as a corporation that was split into two companies: (1) a property holding company that holds a majority of the operating assets of Oncor (PropCo) and (2) an operating company that leases the assets from PropCo (OpCo), such that a Reorganized EFH/EFIH is converted into a REIT upon emergence with respect to Reorganized EFH (together with the Reorganized TCEH Financial Projections, the “Financial Projections”). The Reorganized TCEH Financial Projections consist of a summary of estimated key drivers to the Debtors’ financial performance over the projection period (net generation, natural gas price, heat rate, and power price), an income statement, a cash flow statement, and a balance sheet assuming an Effective Date of March 31, 2016. In addition, a balance sheet has been provided as of the Effective Date with pro forma adjustments to account for (a) the reorganizing and related transactions pursuant to the Plan and (b) the implementation of “fresh start” accounting required by Accounting Standards Codification 852, Reorganizations. The Financial Projections may not be in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practices.

 

142


  4. Acceptance by Impaired Classes.

The Bankruptcy Code requires that, except as described in the following section, each impaired class of claims or interests must accept a plan in order for it to be confirmed. A class that is not “impaired” under a plan is deemed to have accepted the plan and, therefore, solicitation of acceptances with respect to the class is not required. A class is “impaired” unless the plan: (a) leaves unaltered the legal, equitable, and contractual rights to which the claim or the interest entitles the holder of the claim or interest; or (b) cures any default, reinstates the original terms of such obligation, compensates the holder for certain damages or losses, as applicable, and does not otherwise alter the legal, equitable, or contractual rights to which such claim or interest entitles the holder of such claim or interest.

Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code defines acceptance of a plan by a class of impaired claims as acceptance by holders of at least two-thirds in dollar amount and more than one-half in number of non-insider allowed claims in that class, counting only those claims that actually voted to accept or to reject the plan. Thus, a class of claims will have voted to accept the plan only if two-thirds in amount and a majority in number actually voting cast their ballots in favor of acceptance. For a class of impaired interests to accept a plan, section 1126(d) of the Bankruptcy Code requires acceptance by interest holders that hold at least two-thirds in amount of the allowed interests of such class, counting only those interests that actually voted to accept or reject the plan. Thus, a class of interests will have voted to accept the plan only if two-thirds in amount actually voting cast their ballots in favor of acceptance.

 

  5. Confirmation Without Acceptance by All Impaired Classes.

Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code allows a bankruptcy court to confirm a plan even if all impaired classes have not accepted the plan, provided that the plan has been accepted by at least one impaired class of claims. Pursuant to section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, notwithstanding an impaired class rejection or deemed rejection of the plan, the plan will be confirmed, at the plan proponent’s request, in a procedure commonly known as “cramdown,” so long as the plan does not “discriminate unfairly” and is “fair and equitable” with respect to each class of claims or interests that is impaired under, and has not accepted, the plan.

 

  (a) No Unfair Discrimination.

This test applies to classes of claims or interests that are of equal priority and are receiving different treatment under a proposed plan. The test does not require that the treatment be the same or equivalent, but that the treatment be “fair.” In general, bankruptcy courts consider whether a plan discriminates unfairly in its treatment of classes of claims of equal rank (e.g., classes of the same legal character). Bankruptcy courts will take into account a number of factors in determining whether a plan discriminates unfairly. Under certain circumstances, a proposed plan could treat two classes of unsecured creditors differently without unfairly discriminating against either class.

 

  (b) Fair and Equitable Test.

This test applies to classes of different priority and status (e.g., secured versus unsecured) and includes the general requirement that no class of claims receive more than 100% of the amount of the allowed claims in such class.

If any Impaired Class of Claims or Interests rejects the Plan, the Debtors reserve the right to seek Confirmation of the Plan utilizing the “cramdown” provision of section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Specifically, to the extent that any Impaired Class rejects the Plan or is deemed to have rejected the Plan, the Debtors will request Confirmation of the Plan, as it may be modified from time to time, under section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors reserve the right to alter, amend, modify, revoke, or withdraw the Plan before Confirmation, including amending or modifying the Plan to satisfy the requirements of section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Debtors submit that if the Debtors need to “cramdown” the Plan pursuant to section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Plan is structured such that it does not “discriminate unfairly” and satisfies the “fair and equitable” requirement. With respect to the unfair discrimination requirement, all Classes under the Plan are provided treatment that is substantially equivalent to the treatment that is provided to other Classes that have equal rank. The Debtors believe that the Plan and the treatment of all Classes of Claims and Interests under the Plan satisfy the foregoing requirements for cramdown.

 

143


Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code does not apply to Classes A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, A9, A10, A11, A14, B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, C1, C2, and C9 because those Classes are conclusively presumed to accept the Plan.

With respect to Classes that are entitled to vote and vote to reject the Plan, the fair and equitable test sets different standards depending upon the type of Claims or Interests in such class:

 

  (i) Secured Claims.

The condition that a plan be “fair and equitable” to a non-accepting class of secured claims includes the requirements that: (A) the holders of such secured claims retain the liens securing such claims to the extent of the allowed amount of the claims, whether the property subject to the liens is retained by the debtor or transferred to another entity under the Plan; and (B) each holder of a secured claim in the class receives deferred cash payments totaling at least the allowed amount of such claim with a value, as of the Effective Date, at least equivalent to the value of the secured claimant’s interest in the debtor’s property subject to the liens.

 

  (ii) Unsecured Claims.

The condition that a plan be “fair and equitable” to a non-accepting class of unsecured claims includes the requirement that either: (A) the plan provides that each holder of a claim of such class receive or retain on account of such claim property of a value, as of the Effective Date, equal to the allowed amount of such claim; or (B) the holder of any claim or any interest that is junior to the claims of such class will not receive or retain any property under the plan on account of such junior claim or junior interest, subject to certain exceptions.

 

  (iii) Interests.

The condition that a plan be “fair and equitable” to a non-accepting class of interests, includes the requirements that either: (A) the plan provides that each holder of an interest in that class receives or retains under the plan on account of that interest property of a value, as of the Effective Date, equal to the greatest of: (1) the allowed amount of any fixed liquidation preference to which such holder is entitled, (2) any fixed redemption price to which such holder is entitled, or (3) the value of such interest; or (B) if the class does not receive the amount as required under (A) hereof, no class of interests junior to the non-accepting class may receive a distribution under the plan.

 

  6. Valuation of the Debtors.

With respect to Reorganized TCEH, Evercore has performed the Valuation Analysis of Reorganized TCEH, which is attached to this Disclosure Statement as Exhibit G and incorporated into this Disclosure Statement by reference.

With respect to Reorganized EFH, and, specifically, New EFH Common Stock and Reorganized EFH Common Stock, the Debtors conducted a thorough and expansive marketing process for their economic interests in Oncor Electric that has received input from each of their creditor constituencies as well as a broad range of potential third-party acquirers. This process included the Court-approved marketing process pursuant to the Bidding Procedures. In particular, the Debtors, with the assistance of Evercore, engaged in discussions with stakeholders regarding potential EFH/EFIH Transactions, including potential EFH/EFIH Transactions proposed by certain of those stakeholders. The Debtors also solicited interest from a broad range of potential third-party acquirers, including potential strategic and financial bidders, and invited bids from the Debtors’ existing creditors. For more information regarding the Oncor Electric marketing process, see Section IV.G. of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Exploring the EFH/EFIH Transaction” which begins on page 69.

After evaluating all available restructuring alternatives, including stakeholder proposals for EFH/EFIH Transactions and third-party bids received through the Court-approved marketing process, the Debtors determined that the Merger, as embodied in the Plan, is the highest and otherwise best available EFH/EFIH Transaction and entered into the Merger and Purchase Agreement. For more information regarding the Merger, see Section I of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Executive Summary,” beginning on page 1.

 

144


Evercore has estimated the aggregate value implied by the Merger’s cash contribution of (a) the total New EFH Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Merger; and (b) the total Reorganized EFH Common Stock issued under the Plan immediately before the Merger, which would convert to New EFH Common Stock through the Merger. Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement, New EFH and OV2 will collectively contribute approximately $7.100 billion in cash to acquire equity interests in Reorganized EFH and Reorganized EFIH. The total Reorganized EFH Common Stock issued to Holders of Claims against TCEH pursuant to the Plan, but before the Merger, will convert to approximately 2.0% of the total New EFH Common Stock on a fully diluted basis under the Merger. In addition, the Backstop Purchasers would receive approximately 4.0% of the total New EFH Common Stock on a fully diluted basis as the backstop premium payable to the Backstop Purchasers under the Backstop Agreement. This implies an approximately $7.556 billion aggregate value of the total New EFH Common Stock outstanding after the transactions contemplated under the Plan and Merger Agreement, including an approximately $151 million aggregate value of the total Reorganized EFH Common Stock issued pursuant to the Plan before the Merger.

Evercore believes that the Merger and accompanying Equity Investment provides a reasonable measure of the value of the New EFH Common Stock and Reorganized EFH Common Stock in light of, among other things, (1) the robust and exhaustive nature of the marketing and stakeholder negotiation process, (2) the active bidding and extensive stakeholder negotiations that took place during that process, and (3) the large cash commitment by the parties to the Equity Commitment Letter and Backstop Agreement to purchase New EFH Common Stock and Reorganized EFH Common Stock at such value.

THE VALUATION SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION VI.B.6 IS AN ESTIMATE OF DISTRIBUTABLE VALUE ASSOCIATED WITH THE NEW EFH COMMON STOCK AND REORGANIZED EFH COMMON STOCK AND DOES NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT VALUE THAT COULD BE ATTAINABLE IN THE PUBLIC OR PRIVATE MARKETS. IT DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE AN ESTIMATE OF THE MARKET VALUE OF NEW EFH COMMON STOCK OR REORGANIZED EFH COMMON STOCK. SUCH MARKET VALUE, IF ANY, MAY BE MATERIALLY DIFFERENT FROM THIS VALUATION.

  1. the Confirmation Order and the Settlement Order shall have been duly entered in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Debtors, the Plan Sponsors, the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors, and, subject to and through the Plan Support Termination Date, the TCEH Supporting Second Lien Creditors, and the TCEH Committee;

 

  2. any waiting period applicable to the Spin-Off under the HSR Act or similar law or statute shall have been terminated or shall have expired and all governmental and third party approvals and consents that are necessary to implement and effectuate the Spin-Off, including from the FERC, PUC, NRC, and FCC, as applicable, shall have been obtained and shall remain in full force and effect;

  4. the Private Letter Ruling shall have been obtained, which shall remain in full force and effect and shall be reasonably satisfactory to EFH Corp., TCEH, the Plan Sponsors, and the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors; provided, however, that (x) the failure of the Private Letter Ruling to contain any of the following rulings shall not be grounds for concluding the Private Letter Ruling is not reasonably satisfactory to any of EFH Corp., TCEH, the Plan Sponsors, and the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors: (i) the Contribution, the Reorganized TCEH Conversion and the Distribution qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(G) of the Code; (ii) the Distribution constitutes a transaction qualifying under Sections 355 and 356 of the Code; and (iii) the Contribution, the Reorganized TCEH Conversion and the Distribution are not used principally as a device for the distribution of earnings and profits of the Company or Reorganized TCEH and (y) the failure of the Private Letter Ruling to include any one or more of the Required Rulings will be grounds for concluding the Private Letter Ruling is not reasonably satisfactory; provided, further, however, that (A) a particular ruling that, in the reasonable determination of EFH Corp., TCEH, the Plan Sponsors, and the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors, covers substantially the same subject matter as any one or more of the Required Rulings shall not be grounds for concluding the Private Letter Ruling is not reasonably satisfactory to EFH Corp., TCEH, the Plan Sponsors, and the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors due to its failure to include such particular Required Ruling; (B) in the event a specific Required Ruling is not given because the IRS communicates that there is no substantial issue with respect to the requested ruling, the absence of such ruling shall not be grounds for concluding the Private Letter Ruling is not reasonably satisfactory to EFH Corp., TCEH, the Plan Sponsors, and the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors provided that EFH Corp. obtains an opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel, in form and substance acceptable to the Plan Sponsors and the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors in their reasonable discretion, at a “will” level with respect to the issue that was the subject of the Required Ruling; or (C) a pre-filing agreement (including an agreement in accordance with Revenue Procedure 2009-14) or closing agreement with the IRS shall be acceptable in lieu of any such specific Required Ruling, provided that such agreement is both (i) binding on the IRS to the same degree as a private letter ruling or is otherwise acceptable to EFH Corp., TCEH, the Plan Sponsors, and the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors in their reasonable discretion and (ii) contains, in the reasonable determination of EFH Corp., TCEH, the Plan Sponsors, and the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors, conclusions that are substantially similar, and have substantially the same practical effect, to those contained in the Required Rulings provided, further, however, that the failure of the Private Letter Ruling to contain any of the rulings described in clauses (l), (m), or (n) in the definition of “Required Rulings” shall not be grounds for concluding the Private Letter Ruling is not reasonably satisfactory to EFH Corp., TCEH, or the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors; provided, further, however, that the failure to obtain a ruling that provides that Reorganized TCEH and the Preferred Stock Entity have never been a member of the EFH Group shall not, standing alone, be grounds for concluding the Private Letter Ruling is not reasonably satisfactory;

 

  5. the Debtors shall have obtained the Required Opinions, and such opinions have not been withdrawn, rescinded, or amended;

 

  6. the facts presented and the representations made in the IRS Submissions are true, correct, and complete in all material respects as of the Effective Date;

  8. except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Private Letter Ruling, or the Plan Support Agreement, the Debtors shall not have taken any action to change the entity classification for U.S. tax purposes of any Debtor entity, by changing their legal form or otherwise, without the consent of the Plan Sponsors, TCEH, and the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors; provided, however, that the consent of TCEH and the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors shall not be required with respect to any such action with respect to any Debtor entity other than TCEH, the Reorganized EFH Shared Services Debtors, Reorganized TCEH, the Preferred Stock Entity, or any of their respective subsidiaries, if such action does not directly affect the Contribution, the Preferred Stock Sale, the Reorganized TCEH Conversion, or the Distribution and does not prevent or delay EFH Corp. from obtaining the Private Letter Ruling or adversely affect the Intended Tax Treatment;

 

  9. all Claims against the EFH Debtors and/or the EFIH Debtors with respect to any Makewhole Claim shall be Disallowed Makewhole Claims;

 

  10. the final version of the Plan, the Plan Supplement and all of the schedules, documents, and exhibits contained therein (including the New Employee Agreements/Arrangements and the Employment Agreements shall have been Filed in a manner consistent in all material respects with the Plan, the Transaction Agreements, the Plan Support Agreement, and the Settlement Order, and shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Debtors, the Plan Sponsors, and the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors; and, to the extent of any consent or consultation rights provided under the Plan Support Agreement through the Plan Support Termination Date, the TCEH Supporting Second Lien Creditors and the TCEH Committee;

148


F. Effect of Failure of Conditions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, the Settlement embodied in the Settlement Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and the failure of Confirmation or Consummation to occur with respect to any or all Debtors shall not affect the Settlement or any provisions of the Settlement Agreement.

VIII. Risk Factors

Before taking any action with respect to the Plan, Holders of Claims and Interests who are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan should read and consider carefully the risk factors set forth below, as well as the other information set forth in this Disclosure Statement, the Plan, and the documents delivered together herewith, referred to, or incorporated by reference into this Disclosure Statement, including, the EFH Public Filings, each of which is incorporated into this Disclosure Statement by reference, which add to and expand upon many of the risk factors discussed in this Disclosure Statement. The risk factors should not be regarded as constituting the only risks with respect to the Debtors’ business or the Restructuring and its implementation. Each risk factor discussed in this Disclosure Statement may apply equally to the Debtors, the Debtors’ non-Debtor affiliates, the Reorganized Debtors, Oncor Holdings, and Oncor Electric, as applicable and as context requires. Additionally, references to Oncor Electric’s operations may, following the REIT Reorganization, be references to OpCo’s operations. The following risk factors refer generally to the Debtors as a matter of convenience, and specific references to the Debtors, the TCEH Debtors, the EFH Debtors, the EFIH Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, Reorganized EFH, Reorganized EFIH, Reorganized TCEH, or any other specific references, should not be interpreted as limiting any risk factor discussed below.

 

A. Risks Related to the Restructuring.

 

  1. The Debtors Have Filed Voluntary Petitions For Relief Under the Bankruptcy Code and Are Subject to the Risks and Uncertainties Associated with Bankruptcy Cases.

The Debtors have filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. For the duration of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors’ business and operations will be subject to various risks, including, but not limited, to the following:

 

    the Debtors’ ability to consummate and implement the Plan (or one or more other plans of reorganization with respect to the Chapter 11 Cases);

 

    the Debtors’ ability to obtain Bankruptcy Court, creditor, and regulatory approval of the Plan (or one or more other plans of reorganization with respect to the Chapter 11 Cases) and the effect of alternative proposals, views, and objections of creditor committees, creditors, or other stakeholders, which may make it difficult to consummate the Plan (or one or more other plans of reorganization with respect to the Chapter 11 Cases) in a timely manner;

 

    the Debtors’ ability to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval with respect to motions in the Chapter 11 Cases and the outcomes of Bankruptcy Court rulings in the Chapter 11 Cases in general;

 

    risks associated with third party motions in the Chapter 11 Cases, which may interfere with the Debtors’ business operations, including additional collateral requirements, or ability to consummate and implement the Plan (or one or more other plans of reorganization with respect to the Chapter 11 Cases);

 

    increased costs related to the Chapter 11 Cases and related litigation;

 

    the Debtors’ ability to maintain or obtain sufficient financing sources for operations or to fund the Plan (or any other reorganization plan) and meet future obligations;

 

    a significant increase in the amount of collateral required to engage in commodity related hedging transactions;

 

    a loss of, or a disruption in the materials or services received from, suppliers, contractors, or service providers with whom the Debtors have commercial relationships;

 

153


    a material decrease in the number of TXU Energy’s electricity customers and a material tarnishing of its brand;

 

    risk that parties in interest in the Chapter 11 Cases may seek to cause the PUCT to review the Debtors’ REP certifications;

 

    risks related to mining reclamation bonding obligations;

 

    potential incremental increase in risks related to distributions from Oncor Electric;

 

    potential increased difficulty in retaining and motivating the Debtors’ key employees through the process of reorganization, and potential increased difficulty in attracting new employees;

 

    significant time and effort required to be spent by the Debtors’ senior management in dealing with the bankruptcy and restructuring activities rather than focusing exclusively on business operations;

 

    the outcome of current or potential litigation regarding whether certain noteholders are entitled to makewhole or redemption premiums and/or postpetition interest in connection with the treatment of their claims in bankruptcy; and

 

    the outcome of current or potential litigation regarding intercompany Claims and/or derivative Claims.

The Debtors will also be subject to risks and uncertainties with respect to the actions and decisions of creditors and other third parties who have interests in the Chapter 11 Cases that may be inconsistent with the Debtors’ plans. These risks and uncertainties could affect the Debtors’ business and operations in various ways and may significantly increase the time the Debtors have to operate under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

Because of the risks and uncertainties associated with the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors cannot predict or quantify the ultimate effect that events occurring during the Chapter 11 Cases may have on the Debtors’ business, cash flows, liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations, nor can the Debtors predict the ultimate impact that events occurring during the Chapter 11 Cases may have on the Debtors’ corporate or capital structure. For example, in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, certain of the Debtors’ creditors may seek, and receive, Bankruptcy Court approval to sell or otherwise transfer certain of the Debtors’ subsidiaries (or their assets) to satisfy liabilities owed to such creditors. Any such transfer could result in significant tax liabilities for EFH Corp. and its subsidiaries (excluding Oncor Holdings, Oncor Electric, and their ring-fenced affiliates and subsidiaries), which could reduce the recovery of creditors.

The duration of the Chapter 11 Cases is difficult to estimate and could be lengthy. The Debtors will be required to seek approvals of the Bankruptcy Court and certain federal and state regulators in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, and certain parties may intervene and protest approval, absent the imposition of conditions to resolve their concerns. The approvals by governmental entities may be denied, conditioned, or delayed.

TCEH and EFIH have entered into the TCEH DIP Facility and the EFIH First Lien DIP Facility respectively, to, among other things, provide liquidity and fund operational and restructuring-related expenses during the Chapter 11 Cases and, in the case of the EFIH First Lien DIP Facility, to repay the EFIH First Lien Notes. If the Debtors fail to comply with these covenants or an event of default occurs under the DIP Facilities, the Debtors’ liquidity, financial condition, or operations may be materially affected.

 

  2. The Duration of the Chapter 11 Cases is Difficult to Estimate and Could Be Lengthy.

If the Court does not approve the Plan Support Agreement or confirm the Plan, the Debtors are likely subject to more lengthy, costly and contentious Chapter 11 Cases. If the Debtors are unable to file and solicit votes for a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization prior to the expiration of the exclusivity period granted by the Bankruptcy Court, then third parties can file a plan, which would likely further exacerbate the length, cost and contentiousness of the Chapter 11 Cases. Moreover, the duration of the Chapter 11 Cases is subject to the receipt of Bankruptcy Court approval for a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization and regulatory approvals, the timing of which is unpredictable.

 

154


The uncertainty surrounding a prolonged restructuring could also have other adverse effects on the Debtors. For example, it could also adversely affect:

 

    the Debtors’ ability to raise additional capital;

 

    the Debtors’ liquidity;

 

    how the Debtors’ business is viewed by regulators, investors, lenders, credit ratings agencies and other stakeholders; and

 

    the Debtors’ enterprise value.

If the Debtors are unable to file a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization, or solicit the appropriate votes for such plan, in each case, prior to the expiration of the exclusivity period granted by the Bankruptcy Court (October 29, 2015 for filing a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization and December 29, 2015 for soliciting the appropriate votes for such plan), third parties could file their own plan or plans of reorganization. Any such third party plan or plans will likely exacerbate the length, cost and contentiousness of the Chapter 11 Cases.

The Debtors will be required to seek approvals of the Bankruptcy Court and certain federal and state regulators in connection with certain actions in the Chapter 11 Cases, including with respect to the Plan, and certain parties may intervene and protest approval, absent the imposition of conditions to resolve their concerns. The approvals by governmental entities may be denied, conditioned or delayed.

 

  3. Operating in Chapter 11 May Restrict the Debtors’ Ability to Pursue Strategic and Operational Initiatives.

Under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, transactions outside the ordinary course of business are subject to the prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court, which may limit the Debtors’ ability to respond in a timely manner to certain events or take advantage of certain opportunities or to adapt to changing market or industry conditions. Additionally, the terms of the TCEH DIP Facility and the EFIH First Lien DIP Facility may limit the TCEH and EFIH Debtors’ ability, respectively, to undertake certain business initiatives, including their ability to:

 

    sell assets outside the normal course of business;

 

    consolidate, merge, sell, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the respective Debtors’ assets;

 

    grant liens; and

 

    finance the respective Debtors’ operations, investments, or other capital needs or to engage in other business activities that may be in the respective Debtors’ interest.

If the TCEH or EFIH Debtors fail to comply with the covenants in their respective DIP Facility or an event of default occurs under such DIP Facility, the respective Debtors’ liquidity, financial condition or operations may be materially impacted.

 

  4. The Debtors May Experience Increased Levels of Employee Attrition As a Result of the Chapter 11 Cases.

As a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors may experience increased levels of employee attrition, and the Debtors’ employees likely will face considerable distraction and uncertainty. A loss of key personnel or material erosion of employee morale could adversely affect the Debtors’ business and results of operations. The Debtors’ ability to engage, motivate, and retain key employees or take other measures intended to motivate and incentivize key employees to remain with the Debtors through the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases is limited by restrictions on implementation of incentive programs under the Bankruptcy Code. The loss of services of members of the Debtors’ senior management team could impair the Debtors’ ability to execute the Debtors’ strategy and implement operational initiatives, which would be likely to have a material adverse effect on the Debtors’ financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations.

 

155


  5. As a Result of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors’ Historical Financial Information May Not Be Indicative of the Debtors’ Future Financial Performance.

The Debtors’ capital structure will likely be significantly altered under any chapter 11 plan confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. Under fresh-start accounting rules that may apply to the Debtors upon the effective date of a chapter 11 plan, the Debtors’ assets and liabilities would be adjusted to fair value, which could have a significant impact on the Debtors’ financial statements. Accordingly, if fresh-start accounting rules apply, the Debtors’ financial condition and results of operations following the Debtors’ emergence from chapter 11 would not be comparable to the financial condition and results of operations reflected in the Debtors’ historical financial statements. In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases and the development of a chapter 11 plan, it is also possible that additional restructuring and related charges may be identified and recorded in future periods. Such charges could be material to the Debtors’ consolidated financial position, liquidity, and results of operations.

In particular, the Debtors’ corporate and capital structure will be significantly altered if the Plan is consummated. On the Effective Date, EFH Corp. will cease to hold a direct or indirect equity interest in assets or liabilities of TCEH or any of TCEH’s direct or indirect subsidiaries.

 

  6. As a Result of the Chapter 11 Cases, Net Operating Losses and Other Tax Attributes Are Not Expected to be Available Upon Emergence From the Chapter 11 Cases.

As discussed in greater detail in Section VIII.E.15 of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Potential Liability From OpCo Separation.” which begins on page 168, the Debtors expect that they will not have any net operating losses or other tax attributes, other than asset basis, available to offset taxable income following the Effective Date.

 

  7. The Outcome of Litigation Regarding Whether Noteholders are Entitled to Any Makewhole or Redemption Premiums and/or Postpetition Interest Is Uncertain.

The EFIH Debtors are engaged in litigation regarding whether noteholders of its outstanding notes are entitled to receive a make-whole or redemption premium in connection with the repayment of such notes, including pursuant to a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization. Assuming an Effective Date of March 31, 2016, the total aggregate amount of make-whole or redemption premiums that would be owed if such alleged claims were allowed claims would be approximately $890 million (of which $426 million relates to the EFIH First Lien Notes, $351 million relates to the EFIH Second Lien Notes and $113 million relates to the EFIH PIK Senior Toggle Notes). In these matters, the EFIH Debtors have requested orders from the Bankruptcy Court disallowing such make-whole or redemption claims. See Note 13 to the Financial Statements in EFH Corp. 10-K for the fiscal year ended 2014 for a more detailed discussion regarding these claims.

EFH Corp. is also likely to become engaged in litigation or similar adversarial proceedings regarding whether holders of its outstanding notes are entitled to receive a make-whole or redemption premium in connection with the repayment of such notes, including pursuant to a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization. Assuming an Effective Date of March 31, 2016, the total aggregate amount of make-whole or redemption premiums that would be owed if such alleged claims were allowed would be approximately $196 million.

Moreover, creditors may make additional claims in the Chapter 11 Cases in connection with the repayment or settlement of their prepetition debt such as indemnification claims or for the payment of fees and expenses incurred in connection with litigating such claims.

In addition, creditors may assert claims for post-petition interest, including default interest, on their outstanding notes in connection with the repayment of such notes, including pursuant to a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization. Such amounts would be material, particularly if such postpetition interest were required to be paid at the contract rate as opposed to the federal judgment rate.

 

156


The Debtors cannot predict whether any such litigation would be filed or, if filed, the ultimate outcome of any such litigation or the Bankruptcy Court’s determination regarding the validity or the amounts payable in respect of any such claim.

 

  8. TCEH May Be Limited In Its Ability to Use Cash Should the TCEH Cash Collateral Final Order Expire.

The TCEH Cash Collateral Final Order expires in October 2015. TCEH may not be able to fully and efficiently use its cash in the event that the TCEH Cash Collateral Final Order expires without TCEH being able to agree with the Prepetition First Lien Creditors (as defined in the TCEH Cash Collateral Motion) to an extension or a new cash collateral order that is approved by the Bankruptcy Court. The TCEH Debtors’ businesses and operations are cash-intensive and any restriction on their ability to use cash could have a material and adverse effect on TCEH’s results of operations, liquidity and financial condition. Moreover, the expiration of the TCEH Cash Collateral Final Order would cause an event of default under the TCEH DIP Facility, which could have a material and adverse effect on TCEH’s businesses, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition. Under the Plan Support Agreement, the Required TCEH First Lien Creditors (as defined in the Plan Support Agreement) have agreed to support an extension of the TCEH Cash Collateral Order on the terms set forth therein.

 

  9. Risks Related to the Debtors’ Substantial Debt.

 

  (a) The DIP Facilities May Be Insufficient to Fund the Debtors’ Cash Requirements Through Their Emergence from Bankruptcy. In addition, the Debtors’ Independent Auditor’s Report on the Debtors’ Financial Statements Raises Substantial Doubt About the Debtors’ Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.

For the duration of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors will be subject to various risks, including, but not limited, to (i) the inability to maintain or obtain sufficient financing sources for operations or to fund any reorganization plan and meet future obligations, and (ii) increased legal and other professional costs associated with the Chapter 11 Cases and the Debtors’ reorganization.

The Debtors believe that the DIP Facilities, plus cash from operations (in the case of TCEH) and distributions received from Oncor Holdings (in the case of EFIH and EFH Corp.), will be sufficient to fund the Debtors’ anticipated cash requirements through the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases. However, if the Effective Date does not occur prior to the maturity of the DIP Facilities or costs associated with the Chapter 11 Cases and the Debtors’ reorganization are materially greater than anticipated, the Debtors may not have adequate liquidity or be able to obtain sufficient additional financing on acceptable terms or at all.

In its report on the Debtors’ financial statements, which was publicly filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Debtors’ independent public accounting firm states that the uncertainties inherent in the bankruptcy process raise substantial doubt about the Debtors’ ability to continue as a going concern.

 

  (b) The Debtors’ Substantial Leverage Could Adversely Affect Their Ability to Raise Additional Capital to Fund Their Obligations, Limit Their Ability to React to Changes in the Economy or Their Industry and Prevent the Debtors From Meeting Obligations Under Their Various Debt Agreements.

The Debtors have up to $1.425 billion outstanding under the TCEH DIP Facility and $5.4 billion outstanding under the EFIH First Lien DIP Facility. The Debtors’ substantial leverage could have important consequences, including:

 

    making it more difficult for the Debtors to make payments on their debt;

 

    requiring a substantial portion of the Debtors’ cash flow to be dedicated to the payment of interest on debt;

 

    increasing the Debtors’ vulnerability to adverse economic, industry, or competitive developments;

 

157


    limiting the Debtors’ ability to make strategic acquisitions or causing the Debtors to make non-strategic divestitures;

 

    limiting the Debtors’ ability to obtain additional financing for working capital and debt service requirements;

 

    limiting acquisitions or refinancing of existing debt; and

 

    limiting the Debtors’ ability to adjust to changing market conditions and placing the Debtors at a disadvantage compared to competitors who are less highly leveraged and who, therefore, may be able to operate at a lower overall cost (including debt service) and take advantage of opportunities that the Debtors cannot.

 

  10. Even if the Restructuring is Successful, the Debtors Will Continue to Face Risks.

The Restructuring is generally designed to reduce the amount of the Debtors’ indebtedness and cash interest expense and improve each of their liquidity and financial and operational flexibility to generate long-term growth. Even if the Restructuring is implemented, the Debtors will continue to face a number of risks, including certain risks that are beyond the Debtors’ control, such as changes in economic conditions, changes in the Debtors’ industry, and changes in commodity prices. As a result of these risks and others, there is no guarantee that the Restructuring will achieve the Debtors’ stated goals.

 

B. Risks Related to Confirmation and Consummation of the Plan.

 

  1. Conditions Precedent to Confirmation May Not Occur.

As more fully set forth in Article IX of the Plan, the occurrence of Confirmation and the Effective Date are each subject to a number of conditions precedent. If the conditions precedent to Confirmation are not met or waived, the Plan will not be confirmed, and if the conditions precedent to Consummation are not met or waived, the Effective Date will not take place. In the event that the Plan is not confirmed or is not consummated, the Debtors may seek Confirmation of a new plan. However, if the Debtors do not secure sufficient working capital to continue their operations or if the new plan is not confirmed, the Debtors may be forced to liquidate their assets.

 

  2. Parties in Interest May Object to the Plan’s Classification of Claims and Interests.

Section 1122 of the Bankruptcy Code provides that a plan may place a Claim or an Interest in a particular Class only if such Claim or Interest is substantially similar to the other Claims or Interests in such Class. The Debtors believe that the classification of Claims and Interests under the Plan complies with the requirements set forth in the Bankruptcy Code because the Debtors created Classes of Claims and Interests, each encompassing Claims or Interests, as applicable, that are substantially similar to the other Claims or Interests, as applicable, in each such Class. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will reach the same conclusion.

 

  3. The Debtors May Not Be Able to Satisfy Voting Requirements.

Pursuant to section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, section 1129(a)(7)(A)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code will be satisfied with respect to the Voting Classes if at least two-thirds in amount and more than one-half in number of the Allowed Claims in the Voting Classes that vote, vote to accept the Plan. There is no guarantee that the Debtors will receive the necessary acceptances from Holders of Claims and Interests in the Voting Classes. If the Voting Classes vote to reject the Plan, the Debtors may elect to amend the Plan, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan or continue the Chapter 11 Cases notwithstanding the Voting Classes’ rejection of the Plan.

 

  4. The Debtors May Not Be Able to Secure Confirmation.

Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code sets forth the requirements for confirmation of a chapter 11 plan, and requires, among other things, a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that: (a) such plan “does not unfairly discriminate” and is “fair and equitable” with respect to any non-accepting classes; (b) confirmation of such plan is not likely to be followed by a liquidation or a need for further financial reorganization unless such liquidation or reorganization is

 

158


contemplated by the plan; and (c) the value of distributions to non-accepting holders of claims and interests within a particular class under such plan will not be less than the value of distributions such holders would receive if the debtor was liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.

There can be no assurance that the requisite acceptances to confirm the Plan will be received. Even if the requisite acceptances are received, there can be no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will confirm the Plan. A dissenting Holder of an Allowed Claim might challenge whether the voting results satisfy the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules. Even if the Bankruptcy Court determines the voting results are appropriate, the Bankruptcy Court still can decline to confirm the Plan if it finds that any of the statutory requirements for Confirmation have not been met, including the requirement that the terms of the Plan do not “unfairly discriminate” and are “fair and equitable” to non-accepting Classes.

Confirmation is also subject to settlement, release, injunction, and related provisions described in Article VIII of the Plan. If the Plan is not Confirmed, it is unclear what distributions, if any, Holders of Allowed Claims and Interests will receive with respect to their Allowed Claims and Interests.

The Debtors, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, reserve the right to modify the terms and conditions of the Plan as necessary for Confirmation. Any such modifications could result in a less favorable treatment of any Class than the treatment currently provided in the Plan, such as a distribution of property to the Class affected by the modification of a lesser value than currently provided in the Plan.

 

  5. The Debtors May Pursue Nonconsensual Confirmation if Certain Classes Vote to Reject the Plan.

The Bankruptcy Court may confirm the Plan if at least one impaired Class of Claims or Interests has accepted the Plan (with such acceptance being determined without including the vote of any Insider in such Class), and, as to each Impaired Class that has not accepted the Plan, the Bankruptcy Court determines that the Plan “does not discriminate unfairly” and is “fair and equitable” with respect to the dissenting Impaired Classes. The Debtors believe that the Plan satisfies these requirements and the Debtors will request such nonconsensual Confirmation in accordance with section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will reach this conclusion. In addition, the pursuit of nonconsensual Confirmation or Consummation may result in, among other things, increased expenses relating to Professional Fee Claims.

To the extent that some, but not all, Voting Classes vote to accept the Plan, the Debtors may seek to “cram down” the rejecting Classes under section 1129(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. There is no guarantee that the Debtors would be successful.

 

  6. The Debtors May Object to the Amount or Classification of a Claim or Interest.

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Debtors reserve the right to object to the amount or classification of any Claim or Interest under the Plan. The estimates set forth in this Disclosure Statement cannot be relied upon by any Holder of a Claim or Interest where such Claim or Interest is subject to an objection or dispute. Any Holder of a Claim or Interest that is subject to an objection or dispute may not receive its expected share of the estimated distributions described in this Disclosure Statement.

 

  7. Regulatory Approvals Will Be Sought to Consummate the Plan.

Under Texas Utilities Code §§ 39.262(l) and 39.915, an electric utility must obtain prior PUCT approval of any change in majority ownership, controlling ownership, or operational control of Oncor Electric. As a result, prior to any foreclosure on the membership interests of Oncor Holdings, regulatory approvals will be sought from the PUCT regarding a change in ownership or control of Oncor Holdings. Pursuant to the Public Utilities Regulatory Act (“PURA”) §§ 39.262(m) and 39.915(b), the PUCT will approve such a transfer if it finds that the transaction is in the public interest. In making its determination, these sections of PURA provide that the PUCT will consider whether the transaction will adversely affect the reliability of service, availability of service, or cost of service of Oncor Electric. As described in the letter from the Office of the Texas Attorney General, dated July 2, 2015, and attached hereto as Exhibit L, the PUCT has not approved the transactions contemplated by the Plan. Such approval may not be granted and, if it were to be granted, it is not known how long such approval would take. Even if the approval were granted additional PUCT approval will be sought for any subsequent change in majority ownership, controlling ownership, or operational control in the membership interests of Oncor Holdings.

 

159


Under the Atomic Energy Act, the Debtors require NRC approval for the indirect transfer of the Comanche Peak nuclear operating licenses and any conforming amendments of such licenses to reflect that transfer, deemed to be created by the Chapter 11 Cases. The receipt of the required NRC approval is a condition precedent to the Effective Date.

 

  8. The Effective Date May Not Occur.

There can be no assurance as to such timing or as to whether the Effective Date will, in fact, occur. If the Plan does not receive the requisite acceptances or is not confirmed or if it does receive the requisite acceptances and is confirmed but the effective date of the reorganization contemplated therein does not occur, it may become necessary to amend the Plan to provide for alternative treatment of claims and interests which may result in holders of claims and interests receiving significantly less or no value for their claims and interests in the Chapter 11 Cases. If any modifications to the Plan are material, it may be necessary to re-solicit votes from holders of claims and interests adversely affected by the modifications with respect to such Plan.

 

  9. The Merger May Not Close

Although the Debtors believe that the Merger may close and result in the contribution of cash to fund payments under the Plan, consummation of the Merger and contribution of the cash is subject to certain conditions associated with, among other things, regulatory and REIT-related approvals and rulings, satisfaction of which is uncertain. As such, the Merger may not close as a result of the failure of one or more of these conditions to be satisfied. Whether or not such conditions are satisfied, the Equity Investors or the Backstop Purchasers may determine not to close the Merger or contribute the cash necessary to fund payments under the Plan. In such case, the Debtors will lack the ability to pursue specific performance or damages with respect to the failure of the Merger or the debt or equity financing to close.

 

C. Risks Related to Recoveries Under the Plan.

 

  1. The Debtors Cannot State With Certainty the Value of Any Recovery Available to Holders of Allowed Claims and Interests.

Certainty with respect to creditor recoveries under the Plan is impossible because of at least three factors. First, the Debtors cannot know with any certainty, at this time, the value of the Debtors and their non-Debtor Affiliates. Second, the Debtors cannot know with any certainty, at this time, the number or amount of Claims and Interests in the Voting Classes that ultimately will be Allowed. Third, the Debtors cannot know with any certainty, at this time, the amount of Claims and Interests senior to the Voting Classes, junior to the Voting Classes, or unclassified Claims that ultimately will be Allowed.

 

  2. The Debtors May Not Be Able To Achieve Their Projected Financial Results or Meet Their Post-Reorganization Debt Obligations.

The Financial Projections, attached to this Disclosure Statement as Exhibit E and Exhibit F represent the Debtors’ management’s best estimate of TCEH’s and Oncor Electric’s future financial performance based on currently known facts and assumptions about TCEH’s and Oncor Electric’s future operations, as well as the U.S. and world economy in general and the industry segments in which the Debtors operate in particular. There is no guarantee that the Financial Projections will be realized. The Debtors’ actual financial results may differ significantly from the Financial Projections. To the extent the Debtors do not meet their projected financial results or achieve projected revenues and cash flows, the Debtors may lack sufficient liquidity to continue operating as planned after the Effective Date, may be unable to service their debt obligations as they come due, and may not be able to meet their operational needs. Further, a failure of the Debtors to meet their projected financial results or achieve projected revenues and cash flows could lead to cash flow and working capital constraints, which may require the Debtors to seek additional working capital. The Debtors may not be able to obtain such working capital when it is required, or may only be able to obtain such capital on unreasonable or cost prohibitive terms. For example, the Debtors may be required to take on additional debt, the interest costs of which could adversely affect the results of the operations and financial condition of the Debtors.

 

160


  3. There is No Assurance That the New EFH Common Stock or the Reorganized TCEH Common Stock Will Be Listed on any Securities Exchange, and the Ability to Transfer Reorganized EFH Common Stock or Reorganized TCEH Common Stock May Be Limited By the Absence of An Active Trading Market.

There is no assurance that the New EFH Common Stock or the Reorganized TCEH Common Stock will be listed on any securities exchange or that there will be a market in the shares. There may not be an active market for the New EFH Common Stock or the Reorganized TCEH Common Stock, and there can be no assurance that one will develop in the future. If an active trading market for the New EFH Common Stock or the Reorganized TCEH Common Stock does develop, the market may not be liquid. If an active trading market does not develop, Holders may be unable to resell their New EFH Common Stock or the Reorganized TCEH Common Stock.

 

  4. Future Sales of New EFH Common Stock. or Reorganized TCEH Common Stock in the Public Market Could Lower the Market Price for New EFH Common Stock or the Reorganized TCEH Common Stock, Respectively, and Adversely Impact the Trading Price of the New EFH Common Stock or the Reorganized TCEH Common Stock to be Issued Under the Plan.

In the future, New EFH or Reorganized TCEH may issue and sell additional New EFH Common Stock or Reorganized TCEH Common Stock, as applicable, to raise capital or issue New EFH Common Stock or the Reorganized TCEH Common Stock pursuant to the Reorganized Debtor Management Incentive Plan, which will result in dilution of the Reorganized TCEH Common Stock. The Debtors cannot predict the size of any other future issuances or the effect, if any, that they may have on the market price for New EFH Common Stock or Reorganized TCEH Common Stock, as applicable.

The issuance and sale of substantial amounts of New EFH Common Stock or Reorganized TCEH Common Stock, or the perception that such issuances and sales may occur, could adversely affect the market price of New EFH Common Stock or Reorganized TCEH Common Stock, as applicable, and impair New EFH or Reorganized TCEH’s, as applicable, ability to raise capital.

 

  5. The Debtors Do Not Anticipate that Reorganized TCEH Will Pay Cash Dividends.

The Debtors do not anticipate that Reorganized TCEH Common Stock will pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. In addition, covenants in the documents governing the Debtors’ indebtedness may restrict their ability to pay cash dividends and may prohibit the payment of dividends and certain other payments. Because the Debtors cannot be certain that Reorganized TCEH will pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future, holders of Reorganized TCEH Common Stock may not realize a return on the value of Reorganized TCEH Common Stock unless the trading price of the Reorganized TCEH Common Stock appreciates, which the Debtors cannot assure.

 

  6. New EFH and Reorganized TCEH May Each Be Controlled By a Small Number of Stockholders.

A majority of New EFH Common Stock or Reorganized TCEH Common Stock may be owned by a small number of stockholders. As a result, these stockholders may be in a position to exercise substantial influence over the outcome of actions requiring stockholder approval, including, among other things, election of directors. This concentration of ownership could also facilitate or hinder a negotiated change of control of the Debtors and, consequently, affect the value of the New EFH Common Stock or Reorganized TCEH Common Stock.

 

  7. Certain Tax Implications of the Debtors’ Bankruptcy and Reorganization May Increase the Tax Liability of the Reorganized Debtors.

Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests should carefully review Section X of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Plan,” which begins on page 192.

 

161


  8. The IRS May Not Issue the Private Letter Ruling, May Not Rule on All of the Requested Rulings, and May Challenge the Intended Tax Treatment of the Plan.

The Plan is conditioned on the receipt of the Private Letter Ruling. Published IRS policy states that it will not provide some of the requested rulings and the IRS has communicated to the Debtors that the IRS will not deviate from that policy. The Debtors and other parties that support the Plan remain optimistic that the IRS will give sufficient rulings to consummate the Restructuring.

The IRS may in the future choose to assert that the Restructuring pursuant to the Plan gave rise to taxable gain greater than the amount of any tax attributes available to shelter such gain and could seek to assess a tax liability against one or more of the Debtors. The IRS could make such an assertion even if the Private Letter Ruling is issued, because the Private Letter Ruling will not address certain requirements for tax-free treatment under sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(G) of the IRC. Additionally, even if the Private Letter Ruling is issued, the IRS could assert that the Divisive G Reorganization (defined below) is a fully taxable event if it (i) determines that any of the representations, assumptions, or undertakings that were included in the request for the Private Letter Ruling were false or were violated, or (ii) finds that a requirement of law for which no ruling was obtained was not satisfied. Any such resulting tax liability, if asserted and allowed, may be treated as an Administrative Claim against the Debtors, and such liability would be material.

Additionally, the IRS could challenge the validity of the Preferred Stock Sale and/or the valuations relied on in connection therewith. Such a challenge, if successful, could result in cash tax liabilities (if the IRS argued that more gain than desired was triggered), or reduce or eliminate the projected benefit from the Basis Step-Up.

 

  9. The Tax Matters Agreement Will Contain Certain Restrictions on the Reorganized Debtors’ Ability to Consummate Certain Transactions.

The Tax Matters Agreement will include limitations on certain actions of the Reorganized Debtors to preserve the tax-free nature of the Restructuring, as well as certain indemnification obligations in the event the Reorganization fails to be treated as a tax-free transaction (a) as a result of the breach of any covenants in the Tax Matters Agreement or (b) under “no-fault” circumstances. In the event any indemnification obligations are triggered, the Reorganized Debtors would likely be negatively affected. Additionally, the covenants and other limitations with respect to the Tax Matters Agreement may limit the ability of the Reorganized Debtors to undertake certain transactions that may otherwise be value-maximizing.

 

D. Risk Factors Related to the Business Operations of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and Oncor Electric.

 

  1. Risk Factors Related to the Business Operations of the Debtors and, Where Applicable, Oncor Electric.

 

  (a) Goodwill and/or Other Intangible Assets Not Subject to Amortization are Subject to At Least Annual Impairment Evaluations.

As a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors may be required to write off some or all of this goodwill and other intangible assets, which may cause adverse impacts on the Debtors’ results of operations and financial condition. In accordance with accounting standards, goodwill and certain other indefinite-lived intangible assets that are not subject to amortization are reviewed annually or, if certain conditions exist, more frequently, for impairment. Factors such as the economic climate, market conditions, including the market prices for wholesale electricity and natural gas and market heat rates, and environmental regulation are considered when evaluating these assets for impairment. The actual timing and amounts of any goodwill impairments will depend on many sensitive, interrelated and uncertain variables. As a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors may be required to write off some or all of this goodwill and other intangible assets. Any reduction in or impairment of the value of goodwill or other intangible assets will result in a charge against earnings, which could cause a material impact on the Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s reported results of operations and financial condition.

 

162


  (b) Changes in Technology or Increased Electricity Conservation Efforts May Reduce the Value of the TCEH Debtors’ Generation Facilities and/or Oncor Electric’s Electricity Delivery Facilities and May Otherwise Significantly Impact the Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s Businesses.

Technological advances have improved, and are likely to continue to improve, existing and alternative technologies to produce or store electricity, including gas turbines, wind turbines, fuel cells, microturbines, photovoltaic (solar) cells, batteries and concentrated solar thermal devices. Such technological advances have reduced, and are expected to continue to reduce, the costs of electricity production or storage from these technologies to a level that will enable these technologies to compete effectively with traditional generation facilities. Consequently, the profitability and market value of the TCEH Debtors’ generation assets could be significantly reduced as a result of these advances. In addition, changes in technology have altered, and are expected to continue to alter, the channels through which retail customers buy electricity (i.e., self-generation facilities). To the extent self-generation facilities become a more cost-effective option for ERCOT customers, the Debtors’ revenues, liquidity and results of operations could be materially reduced.

Technological advances in demand-side management and increased conservation efforts have resulted, and are expected to continue to result, in a decrease in electricity demand. A significant decrease in electricity demand in ERCOT as a result of such efforts would significantly reduce the value of the TCEH Debtors’ generation assets and Oncor Electric’s electricity delivery facilities. Certain regulatory and legislative bodies have introduced or are considering requirements and/or incentives to reduce energy consumption. Effective energy conservation by the Debtors’ customers could result in reduced energy demand or significantly slow the growth in demand. Such reduction in demand could materially reduce the Debtors’ and/or Oncor Electric’s revenues, liquidity, and results of operations. Furthermore, the Debtors and/or Oncor Electric may incur increased capital expenditures if they are required to increase investment in conservation measures.

 

  (c) The TCEH Debtors’ Revenues and Results of Operations Generally Are Negatively Impacted by Decreases in Market Prices For Electricity, Natural Gas Prices, and/or Market Heat Rates.

The TCEH Debtors are not guaranteed any rate of return on capital investments in their businesses. The TCEH Debtors market and trade electricity, including electricity from the TCEH Debtors’ own generation facilities and generation contracted from third parties, as part of the TCEH Debtors’ wholesale operations. The TCEH Debtors’ results of operations depend in large part upon wholesale market prices for electricity, natural gas, uranium, coal, fuel oil, and transportation in their regional market and other competitive markets and upon prevailing retail electricity rates, which may be impacted by, among other things, actions of regulatory authorities. Market prices may fluctuate substantially over relatively short periods of time. Demand for electricity can fluctuate dramatically, creating periods of substantial under- or over-supply. During periods of over-supply, prices might be depressed. Also, at times, there may be political pressure, or pressure from regulatory authorities with jurisdiction over wholesale and retail energy commodity and transportation rates, to impose price limitations, bidding rules and other mechanisms to address volatility and other issues in these markets.

Some of the fuel for the TCEH Debtors’ generation facilities is purchased under short-term contracts. Prices of fuel (including diesel, natural gas, coal and nuclear) may also be volatile, and the price the TCEH Debtors can obtain for electricity sales may not change at the same rate as changes in fuel costs. In addition, the TCEH Debtors purchase and sell natural gas and other energy-related commodities, and volatility in these markets may affect costs incurred in meeting obligations.

Volatility in market prices for fuel and electricity may result from, but is not limited to, the following:

 

    volatility in natural gas prices;

 

    volatility in ERCOT market heat rates;

 

    volatility in coal and rail transportation prices;

 

163


    severe or unexpected weather conditions, including drought and limitations on access to water;

 

    seasonality;

 

    changes in electricity and fuel usage;

 

    illiquidity in the wholesale electricity or other commodity markets;

 

    transmission or transportation constraints, inoperability or inefficiencies;

 

    availability of competitively-priced alternative energy sources or storage;

 

    changes in market structure;

 

    changes in supply and demand for energy commodities, including nuclear fuel and related enrichment and conversion services;

 

    changes in the manner in which the TCEH Debtors operate their facilities, including curtailed operation due to market pricing, environmental, safety or other factors;

 

    changes in generation efficiency;

 

    outages or otherwise reduced output from the TCEH Debtors’ generation facilities or those of the TCEH Debtors’ competitors;

 

    changes in the credit risk or payment practices of market participants;

 

    changes in production and storage levels of natural gas, lignite, coal, crude oil, diesel and other refined products;

 

    natural disasters, wars, sabotage, terrorist acts, embargoes and other catastrophic events; and

 

    federal, state and local energy, environmental and other regulation and legislation.

All of the TCEH Debtors’ generation facilities are located in the ERCOT market, a market with limited interconnections to other markets. Wholesale electricity prices in the ERCOT market have generally moved with the price of natural gas because marginal electricity demand is generally supplied by natural gas-fueled generation facilities. Accordingly, the TCEH Debtors’ earnings, cash flows and the value of the TCEH Debtors’ nuclear and lignite/coal fueled generation assets, which provided a substantial portion of the TCEH Debtors’ supply volumes in 2014, are dependent in significant part upon the price of natural gas. Natural gas prices have generally trended downward since mid-2008 (from $11.12 per MMBtu in mid-2008 to $4.42 per MMBtu for the average settled price for the year ended December 31, 2014). The economy, weather, demand production and storage all affect natural gas prices. In recent years natural gas supply has outpaced demand as a result of development and expansion of hydraulic fracturing in natural gas extraction. Many industry experts expect this supply/demand imbalance to continue for a number of years, thereby depressing natural gas prices for a long-term period.

Wholesale electricity prices also move with ERCOT market heat rates, which could fall if demand for electricity were to decrease or if more efficient generation facilities are built in ERCOT. Accordingly, the TCEH Debtors’ earnings, cash flows and the value of the TCEH Debtors’ nuclear and lignite/coal fueled generation assets are also dependent in significant part upon market heat rates. As a result, the TCEH Debtors’ nuclear and lignite/coal fueled generation assets could significantly decrease in profitability and value if ERCOT market heat rates decline.

 

164


  (d) The TCEH Debtors’ Assets or Positions Cannot Be Fully Hedged Against Changes in Commodity Prices and Market Heat Rates and Hedging Transactions May Not Work as Planned or Hedge Counterparties May Default on Their Obligations.

The TCEH Debtors cannot fully hedge the risk associated with changes in commodity prices, most notably electricity and natural gas prices, because of the expected useful life of the TCEH Debtors’ generation assets and the size of the TCEH Debtors’ position relative to market liquidity. To the extent the TCEH Debtors have unhedged positions, fluctuating commodity prices and/or market heat rates can materially impact the TCEH Debtors’ results of operations, liquidity, and financial position, either favorably or unfavorably. At December 31, 2014, the TCEH Debtors had no significant natural gas hedges beyond 2015.

To manage the TCEH Debtors’ financial exposure related to commodity price fluctuations, the TCEH Debtors routinely enter into contracts to hedge portions of purchase and sale commitments, fuel requirements and inventories of natural gas, lignite, coal, crude oil, diesel fuel, uranium and refined products, and other commodities, within established risk management guidelines. As part of this strategy, the TCEH Debtors routinely utilize fixed-price forward physical purchase and sale contracts, futures, financial swaps and option contracts traded in over-the-counter markets or on exchanges. Although the TCEH Debtors devote a considerable amount of time and effort to the establishment of risk management procedures, as well as the ongoing review of the implementation of these procedures, the procedures in place may not always function as planned and cannot eliminate all the risks associated with these activities. For example, the TCEH Debtors hedge the expected needs of the TCEH Debtors’ wholesale and retail customers, but unexpected changes due to weather, natural disasters, consumer behavior, market constraints or other factors could cause the TCEH Debtors to purchase electricity to meet unexpected demand in periods of high wholesale market prices or resell excess electricity into the wholesale market in periods of low prices. As a result of these and other factors, the TCEH Debtors cannot precisely predict the impact that risk management decisions may have on the TCEH Debtors’ businesses, results of operations, liquidity or financial position.

With the tightening of credit markets that began in 2008 and the expansion of regulatory oversight through various financial reforms, there has been some decline in the number of market participants in the wholesale energy commodities markets, resulting in less liquidity, particularly in the ERCOT electricity market. Participation by financial institutions and other intermediaries (including investment banks) has particularly declined. Extended declines in market liquidity could materially affect the TCEH Debtors’ ability to hedge the TCEH Debtors’ financial exposure to desired levels. In addition, the Chapter 11 Cases and the TCEH Debtors’ financial condition have significantly limited the number of counterparties that will enter into commodity hedging transactions with the TCEH Debtors on attractive terms.

To the extent the TCEH Debtors engage in hedging and risk management activities, the TCEH Debtors are exposed to the risk that counterparties that owe the TCEH Debtors money, energy or other commodities as a result of these activities will not perform their obligations. Should the counterparties to these arrangements fail to perform, the TCEH Debtors could be forced to enter into alternative hedging arrangements or honor the underlying commitment at then-current market prices. In such event, the TCEH Debtors could incur losses or forgo expected gains in addition to amounts, if any, already paid to the counterparties. ERCOT market participants are also exposed to risks that another ERCOT market participant may default on its obligations to pay ERCOT for electricity taken, in which case such costs, to the extent not offset by posted security and other protections available to ERCOT, may be allocated to various non-defaulting ERCOT market participants, including the TCEH Debtors.

 

  (e) The Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s Liquidity Needs Could Be Difficult to Satisfy, Particularly During Times of Uncertainty in the Financial Markets and/or During Times When There Are Significant Changes in Commodity Prices; the Inability to Access Liquidity, Particularly on Favorable Terms, Could Materially Affect the Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s Results of Operations, Liquidity, and Financial Condition.

The TCEH Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s businesses are capital intensive. In general, the Debtors and Oncor Electric rely on access to financial markets and credit facilities as a significant source of liquidity for the Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s capital requirements and other obligations not satisfied by cash-on-hand or operating cash flows. The inability to raise capital or access credit facilities, particularly on favorable terms, could adversely impact the Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s liquidity and the Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s ability to meet their obligations or sustain and grow their businesses and could increase capital costs. The Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s access to the financial markets and credit facilities could be adversely impacted by various factors, such as:

 

    the Chapter 11 Cases;

 

165


    changes in financial markets that reduce available liquidity or the ability to obtain or renew liquidity facilities on acceptable terms;

 

    economic weakness in the ERCOT market or the general U.S. market;

 

    changes in interest rates;

 

    a deterioration, or perceived deterioration, of the Debtors’ or Oncor Electric’s (and/or their subsidiaries’) creditworthiness or enterprise value;

 

    a reduction in the Debtors’ or Oncor Electric’s or their applicable subsidiaries’ credit ratings;

 

    a deterioration of the creditworthiness or bankruptcy of one or more lenders or counterparties under the Debtors’ or Oncor Electric’s credit facilities that affects the ability of such lender(s) to make loans to the Debtors or Oncor Electric;

 

    volatility in commodity prices that increases credit requirements for the TCEH Debtors;

 

    a material breakdown in the Debtors’ or Oncor Electric’s risk management procedures; and

 

    the occurrence of changes that restrict the Debtors’ or Oncor Electric’s ability to access revolving credit facilities.

In the event that the governmental agencies that regulate the activities of the Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s businesses determine that the creditworthiness of any such business is inadequate to support the Debtors’ or Oncor Electric’s activities, such agencies could require the Debtors or Oncor Electric to provide additional cash or letter of credit collateral in substantial amounts to qualify to do business.

Further, a lack of available liquidity could adversely impact the evaluation of the Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s creditworthiness by counterparties and rating agencies. In particular, such concerns by existing and potential counterparties could significantly limit the Debtors’ wholesale markets activities, including any future hedging activities.

The Debtors cannot be sure that the DIP Facilities will ultimately be adequate to cover all of the Debtors’ liquidity needs for the entirety of the Chapter 11 Cases. In addition, the Debtors are subject to various covenants and events of default under the TCEH DIP Facility and EFIH First Lien DIP Facility. If the Debtors fail to comply with these covenants or an event of default occurs under the TCEH DIP Facility or EFIH First Lien DIP Facility, the Debtors’ liquidity, financial condition or operations may be materially impacted. Similarly, if Oncor Electric fails to comply with any covenants in its debt obligations, Oncor Electric’s liquidity, financial condition or operations may be materially impacted, which could materially impact the value of the EFIH Debtors, EFH Corp., the Reorganized EFIH Debtors or Reorganized EFH.

 

  (f) The Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s Businesses Are Subject to Ongoing Complex Governmental Regulations and Legislation that Have Impacted, and May in the Future Impact, Their Businesses and/or Results of Operations, Liquidity, and Financial Condition.

The Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s businesses operate in changing market environments influenced by various state and federal legislative and regulatory initiatives regarding the restructuring of the energy industry, including competition in the generation and sale of electricity. The Debtors and Oncor Electric will need to continually adapt to these changes.

 

166


The Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s businesses are subject to changes in state and federal laws (including PURA, the Federal Power Act, the Atomic Energy Act, the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978, the Clean Air Act (the “CAA”), the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act), changing governmental policy and regulatory actions (including those of the PUCT, the NERC, the TRE, the RCT, the TCEQ, the FERC, the MSHA, the EPA, the NRC and the CFTC) and the rules, guidelines and protocols of ERCOT with respect to matters including, but not limited to, market structure and design, operation of nuclear generation facilities, construction and operation of other generation facilities, construction and operation of transmission facilities, development, operation and reclamation of lignite mines, acquisition, disposal, depreciation, and amortization of regulated assets and facilities, recovery of costs and investments, decommissioning costs, return on invested capital for regulated businesses, market behavior rules, present or prospective wholesale and retail competition and environmental matters. The Debtors, along with other market participants, are subject to electricity pricing constraints and market behavior and other competition-related rules and regulations under PURA that are administered by the PUCT and ERCOT. Changes in, revisions to, or reinterpretations of existing laws and regulations may have a material effect on the Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s businesses.

The Texas Legislature meets every two years. The current regular legislative session began in January 2015; however, at any time the governor of Texas may convene a special session of the Texas Legislature. During any regular or special session bills may be introduced that, if adopted, could materially affect the Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s businesses, including the Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s results of operations, liquidity, or financial condition.

 

  (g) The Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s Cost of Compliance with Existing and New Environmental Laws Could Materially Affect Their Results of Operations, Liquidity and Financial Condition.

The Debtors and Oncor Electric are subject to extensive environmental regulation by governmental authorities, including the EPA and the TCEQ. In operating their facilities, they are required to comply with numerous environmental laws and regulations and to obtain numerous governmental permits.

The Debtors and Oncor Electric may incur significant additional costs beyond those currently contemplated to comply with these requirements. If the Debtors and Oncor Electric fail to comply with these requirements, the Debtors and Oncor Electric could be subject to civil or criminal liabilities and fines. Existing environmental regulations could be revised or reinterpreted, new laws and regulations could be adopted or become applicable to the Debtors or Oncor Electric, or their facilities, and future changes in environmental laws and regulations could occur, including potential regulatory and enforcement developments related to air emissions, all of which could result in significant additional costs beyond those currently contemplated to comply with existing requirements.

The EPA has recently completed several regulatory actions establishing new requirements for control of certain emissions from sources including electricity generation facilities. It is also currently considering several other regulatory actions, as well as contemplating future additional regulatory actions, in each case that may affect the TCEH Debtors’ generation facilities or their ability to cost-effectively develop new generation facilities. There is no assurance that the currently-installed emissions control equipment at the TCEH Debtors’ lignite/coal fueled generation facilities will satisfy the requirements under any future EPA or TCEQ regulations. Some of the recent regulatory actions and proposed actions, such as the EPA’s Regional Haze FIP, CSAPR and MATS, could require the TCEH Debtors to install significant additional control equipment, resulting in material costs of compliance for their generation units, including capital expenditures, higher operating and fuel costs and potential production curtailments if the rules take effect. These costs could result in material effects on the Debtors’ results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.

The Debtors and Oncor Electric may not be able to obtain or maintain all required environmental regulatory approvals. If there is a delay in obtaining any required environmental regulatory approvals, if the Debtors or Oncor Electric fail to obtain, maintain or comply with any such approval, or if an approval is retroactively disallowed, the operation of the TCEH Debtors’ or Oncor Electric’s facilities could be stopped, curtailed, or modified or become subject to additional costs.

 

167


In addition, the Debtors may be responsible for any on-site liabilities associated with the environmental condition of facilities that the Debtors have acquired, leased, or developed, regardless of when the liabilities arose and whether they are known or unknown. In connection with certain acquisitions and sales of assets, the Debtors may obtain, or be required to provide, indemnification against certain environmental liabilities. Another party could, depending on the circumstances, assert an environmental claim against the Debtors or fail to meet its indemnification obligations to the Debtors.

 

  (h) The TCEH Debtors’ Operations, Liquidity, and Financial Condition May be Materially Affected If New Federal and/or State Legislation or Regulations Are Adopted to Address Global Climate Change, or if the TCEH Debtors Are Subject to Lawsuits for Alleged Damage to Persons or Property Resulting From Greenhouse Gas Emissions.

There is a concern nationally and internationally about global climate change and how greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), contribute to global climate change. Over the last few years, proposals have been debated in the US Congress or discussed by the Obama Administration that were intended to address climate change using different approaches, including a cap on carbon emissions with emitters allowed to trade unused emission allowances (cap-and-trade), a tax on carbon or GHG emissions, incentives for the development of low-carbon technology and federal renewable portfolio standards. In addition, a number of federal court cases have been filed in recent years asserting damage claims related to GHG emissions, and the results in those proceedings could establish adverse precedent that might apply to companies (including the TCEH Debtors) that produce GHG emissions. The TCEH Debtors’ results of operations, liquidity and financial condition may be materially affected if new federal and/or state legislation or regulations are adopted to address global climate change, or if the TCEH Debtors are subject to lawsuits for alleged damage to persons or property resulting from greenhouse gas emissions.

 

  (i) Luminant’s Mining Permits are Subject to RCT Review.

The RCT reviews on an ongoing basis whether Luminant is compliant with RCT rules and regulations and whether it has met all of the requirements of its mining permits. Any revocation of a mining permit would mean that Luminant would no longer be allowed to mine lignite at the applicable mine to serve its generation facilities. Such event would have a material effect on our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.

In June 2014, the RCT agreed to accept a collateral bond from TCEH of up to $1.1 billion, as a substitute for its self-bond, to secure mining land reclamation obligations. The collateral bond was a $1.1 billion carve-out from the super-priority liens under the TCEH DIP Facility that enables the RCT to be paid before the TCEH DIP Facility lenders in the event such collateral bond was called. There can be no assurance that the RCT will continue to accept this form of collateral bond throughout the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases. If TCEH was required to secure its mining reclamation with cash or a letter of credit, the TCEH Debtors’ liquidity and financial condition would be materially and adversely impacted.

 

  (j) Litigation, Legal Proceedings, Regulatory Investigations, or Other Administrative Proceedings Could Expose the Debtors to Significant Liabilities and Reputation Damage, and Have a Material Effect on the Debtors’ Results of Operations, and the Litigation Environment In Which the Debtors Operate Poses a Significant Risk to the Debtors’ Businesses.

As discussed in Section VI of this Disclosure Statement, entitled “Confirmation of the Plan,” which begins on page 140, the Debtors are, from time to time, during the ordinary course of operating their business, subject to various litigation claims and legal disputes, including contract, lease, and employment claims, as well as regulatory matters.

The Debtors evaluate litigation claims and legal proceedings to assess the likelihood of unfavorable outcomes and to estimate, if possible, the amount of potential losses. Based on these evaluations and estimates, the Debtors establish reserves and disclose the relevant litigation claims or legal proceedings, as appropriate. These evaluations and estimates are based on the information available to management at the time and involve a significant amount of judgment. Actual outcomes or losses may differ materially from current evaluations and estimates. The settlement or resolution of such claims or proceedings may have a material effect on the Debtors’ results of operations. The Debtors use appropriate means to contest litigation threatened or filed against them, but the litigation environment poses a significant business risk.

 

168


The Debtors are involved in the ordinary course of business in permit applications and renewals, and they are exposed to the risk that certain of their operating permit applications may not be granted or that certain of their operating permits may not be renewed on satisfactory terms. Failure to obtain and maintain the necessary permits to conduct the Debtors’ businesses could have a material effect on their results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.

The Debtors are also involved in the ordinary course of business in regulatory investigations and other administrative proceedings, and they are exposed to the risk that they may become the subject of additional regulatory investigations or administrative proceedings. While the Debtors cannot predict the outcome of any regulatory investigation or administrative proceeding, any such regulatory investigation or administrative proceeding could result in the Debtors incurring material penalties and/or other costs and have a material effect on their results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.

 

  (k) The TCEH Debtors’ Collateral Requirements for Hedging Arrangements Could Be Materially Impacted if the Remaining Rules Implementing the Financial Reform Act Broaden the Scope of the Act’s Provisions Regarding the Regulation of Over-the-Counter Financial Derivatives, Making Certain Provisions Applicable to End-Users Such as the TCEH Debtors.

In July 2010, the U.S. Congress enacted financial reform legislation known as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Financial Reform Act”). While the legislation is broad and detailed, a few key rulemaking decisions remain to be made by federal governmental agencies to fully implement the Financial Reform Act.

Title VII of the Financial Reform Act provides for the regulation of the over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives market. The Financial Reform Act generally requires OTC derivatives (including the types of asset-backed OTC derivatives that the TCEH Debtors have historically used to hedge risks associated with commodity and interest rate exposure) to be cleared by a derivatives clearing organization. However, under the end-user clearing exemption, entities are exempt from these clearing requirements if they (i) are not “Swap Dealers” or “Major Swap Participants” and (ii) use swaps to hedge or mitigate commercial risk. Existing swaps are grandfathered from the clearing requirements.

In May 2012, the CFTC published its final rule defining the terms Swap Dealer and Major Swap Participant. Additionally, in July 2012, the CFTC approved the final rules defining the term “swap” and the end-user clearing exemption. The definition of the term “swap” and the Swap Dealer/Major Swap Participant rule became effective in October 2012. Based on the TCEH Debtors’ assessments, the TCEH Debtors are not Swap Dealers or Major Swap Participants. However, the TCEH Debtors are required to continually assess the TCEH Debtors’ activity to determine if the TCEH Debtors will be required to register as Swap Dealers or Major Swap Participants. The reporting requirements under the Financial Reform Act for entities that are not Swap Dealers or Major Swap Participants became effective in August 2013, and the TCEH Debtors are in compliance with these rules.

In January 2015, President Obama signed into law an amendment to the Commodity Exchange Act with respect to margin requirements for swaps. Specifically, the amended language would prevent regulators from imposing margin requirements on end-user swaps qualifying for the end-user exception. The TCEH Debtors are currently reviewing the amendment to determine the implications on their business. In addition, in December 2013, the CFTC published its new proposed Position Limit Rule (the “PLR”). The PLR provides for specific position limits related to futures and Swap contracts that the TCEH Debtors utilize in their hedging activities. The proposed PLR will require that the TCEH Debtors comply with the portion of the PLR applicable to these contracts, which will result in increased monitoring and reporting requirements and can also impact the types of contracts that the TCEH Debtors utilize as hedging instruments in their operations.

 

169


  (l) The REP Certification of the TCEH Debtors’ Retail Operation is Subject to PUCT Review.

The PUCT may at any time initiate an investigation into whether the TCEH Debtors’ retail operations comply with certain PUCT rules and whether the TCEH Debtors retail operations have met all of the requirements for REP certification, including financial requirements. In addition, as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, the PUCT may initiate additional reviews of the TCEH Debtors’ retail operation, including with respect to their creditworthiness. Any removal or revocation of a REP certification would mean that the TCEH Debtors would no longer be allowed to provide electricity service to retail customers. Such decertification could have a material effect on the TCEH Debtors’ results of operations, liquidity and financial condition

 

  (m) The TCEH Debtors May Suffer Material Losses, Costs, and Liabilities Due to Ownership and Operation of the Comanche Peak Nuclear Generation Facility.

The TCEH Debtors’ ownership and operation of a nuclear generation facility involves certain risks. These risks include, but are not limited to:

 

    unscheduled outages or unexpected costs due to equipment, mechanical, structural, cybersecurity or other problems;

 

    inadequacy or lapses in maintenance protocols;

 

    the impairment of reactor operation and safety systems due to human error or force majeure;

 

    the costs of storage, handling and disposal of nuclear materials, including availability of storage space;

 

    the costs of procuring nuclear fuel;

 

    possible terrorist or cybersecurity attacks and the cost of security with respect to such possible attacks;

 

    the impact of a natural disaster;

 

    limitations on the amounts and types of insurance coverage commercially available; and

 

    uncertainties with respect to the technological and financial aspects of decommissioning nuclear facilities at the end of their useful lives.

The prolonged unavailability of Comanche Peak could materially affect the TCEH Debtors’ financial condition and results of operations. The following are among the more significant of these risks:

 

    Operational Risk — Operations at any nuclear generation facility could degrade to the point where the facility would have to be shut down. If such degradations were to occur, the process of identifying and correcting the causes of the operational downgrade to return the facility to operation could require significant time and expense, resulting in both lost revenue and increased fuel and purchased power expense to meet supply commitments. Furthermore, a shut-down or failure at any other nuclear generation facility could cause regulators to require a shut-down or reduced availability at Comanche Peak.

 

   

Regulatory Risk — The NRC may modify, suspend or revoke licenses and impose civil penalties for failure to comply with the Atomic Energy Act, the regulations under it or the terms of the licenses of nuclear generation facilities. Unless extended, the NRC operating licenses for Comanche Peak Unit 1 and Unit 2 will expire in 2030 and 2033, respectively. In addition, as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, the NRC may initiate additional reviews of the TCEH Debtors’ operations at Comanche Peak, including with respect to its ability to fund its operations in compliance with its operating license. Changes in regulations by the NRC, including potential regulation as a result of the NRC’s ongoing

 

170


 

analysis and response to the effects of the natural disaster on nuclear generation facilities in Japan in 2010, could require a substantial increase in capital expenditures or result in increased operating or decommissioning costs.

 

    Nuclear Accident Risk — Although the safety record of Comanche Peak and other nuclear generation facilities generally has been very good, accidents and other unforeseen problems have occurred both in the U.S. and elsewhere. The consequences of an accident can be severe and include loss of life, injury, lasting negative health impact, and property damage. Any accident, or perceived accident, could result in significant liabilities and damage the TCEH Debtors’ reputation. Any such resulting liability from a nuclear accident could exceed the TCEH Debtors’ resources, including insurance coverage, and could ultimately result in the suspension or termination of electricity generation from the Comanche Peak facility.

 

  (n) The Operation and Maintenance of Electricity Generation and Delivery Facilities Involves Significant Risks That Could Adversely Affect the TCEH Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s Results of Operations, Liquidity, and Financial Condition.

The operation and maintenance of electricity generation and delivery facilities involves many risks, including, as applicable, start-up risks, breakdown or failure of facilities, operator error, lack of sufficient capital to maintain the facilities, the dependence on a specific fuel source, the impact of unusual or adverse weather conditions or other natural events, or terrorist attacks, as well as the risk of performance below expected levels of output, efficiency, or reliability, the occurrence of any of which could result in lost revenues and/or increased expenses. A significant number of the TCEH Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s facilities were constructed many years ago. In particular, older generating equipment and transmission and distribution equipment, even if maintained in accordance with good engineering practices, may require significant capital expenditures to keep operating at peak efficiency or reliability. The risk of increased maintenance and capital expenditures arises from (i) increased starting and stopping of generation equipment due to the volatility of the competitive generation market and the prospect of continuing low wholesale electricity prices that may not justify sustained or year-round operation of all the TCEH Debtors’ generating facilities, (ii) any unexpected failure to generate electricity, including failure caused by equipment breakdown, or forced outage, (iii) damage to facilities due to storms, natural disasters, wars, terrorist or cyber security acts, and other catastrophic events, and (iv) the passage of time and normal wear and tear. Further, the TCEH Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s ability to successfully and timely complete capital improvements to existing facilities or other capital projects is contingent upon many variables and subject to substantial risks. Should any such efforts be unsuccessful, the TCEH Debtors and Oncor Electric could be subject to additional costs and/or losses and write downs of the TCEH Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s investment in the project or improvement.

The TCEH Debtors and Oncor Electric cannot be certain of the level of capital expenditures that will be required due to changing environmental and safety laws and regulations (including changes in the interpretation or enforcement thereof), needed facility repairs and unexpected events (such as natural disasters or terrorist or cyber security attacks). The unexpected requirement of large capital expenditures could materially affect the TCEH Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s results of operations, liquidity, and financial condition.

If the TCEH Debtors make any major modifications to the TCEH Debtors’ electricity generation facilities, the TCEH Debtors may be required to install the best available control technology or to achieve the lowest achievable emission rates as such terms are defined under the new source review provisions of the CAA. Any such modifications would likely result in the TCEH Debtors incurring substantial additional capital expenditures.

Insurance, warranties, or performance guarantees may not cover all or any of the lost revenues or increased expenses that could result from the risks discussed above, including the cost of replacement electricity. Likewise, the ability to obtain insurance, and the cost of and coverage provided by such insurance, could be affected by events outside the TCEH Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s control.

 

171


  (o) The Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s Employees, Contractors, Customers and the General Public May Be Exposed to a Risk of Injury Due to the Nature of the Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s Operations.

Employees and contractors throughout the Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s organization work in, and customers and the general public may be exposed to, potentially dangerous environments near the Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s operations. As a result, employees, contractors, customers, and the general public are at risk for serious injury, including loss of life. Significant risks include nuclear accidents, dam failure, gas explosions, mining area collapses, pole strikes, and electric contact cases.

 

  (p) The TCEH Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s Results of Operations, Liquidity, and Financial Condition May be Materially Affected by the Effects of Extreme Weather Conditions.

The TCEH Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s results of operations, liquidity, and financial condition may be materially affected by weather conditions and may fluctuate substantially on a seasonal basis as the weather changes. In addition, the TCEH Debtors and Oncor Electric could be subject to the effects of extreme weather. Extreme weather conditions could stress Oncor Electric’s transmission and distribution system and/or the TCEH Debtors’ generation facilities, resulting in outages, increased maintenance, and capital expenditures. Extreme weather events, including sustained cold or hot temperatures, hurricanes, storms, or other natural disasters, could be destructive and result in casualty losses that are not ultimately offset by insurance proceeds or in increased capital expenditures or costs, including supply chain costs.

Moreover, an extreme weather event could cause disruption in service to customers due to downed wires and poles or damage to other operating equipment, which could result in the TCEH Debtors foregoing sales of electricity and lost revenue. Similarly, an extreme weather event might affect the availability of generation and transmission capacity, limiting the TCEH Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s ability to source or deliver electricity where it is needed or limit the TCEH Debtors’ ability to source fuel for the TCEH Debtors’ generation plants (including due to damage to rail or natural gas pipeline infrastructure). Additionally, extreme weather may result in unexpected increases in customer load, requiring the TCEH Debtors’ retail operations to procure additional electricity supplies at wholesale prices in excess of their customer sales prices for electricity. These conditions, which cannot be reliably predicted, could have an adverse consequence by requiring the TCEH Debtors to seek additional sources of electricity when wholesale market prices are high or to sell excess electricity when market prices are low.

 

  (q) The Debtors’ Results of Operations, Liquidity, and Financial Condition May Be Materially Affected by Insufficient Water Supplies.

Supplies of water are important for the TCEH Debtors’ generation facilities. Water in Texas is limited and various parties have made conflicting claims regarding the right to access and use such limited supplies of water. In addition, Texas has experienced sustained drought conditions that could affect the water supply for certain of the TCEH Debtors’ generation facilities if adequate rain does not fall in the watershed that supplies the affected areas. If the TCEH Debtors are unable to access sufficient supplies of water, it could restrict, prevent or increase the cost of operations at certain of the TCEH Debtors’ generation facilities

 

  (r) Attacks on the Debtors’ or Oncor Electric’s Infrastructure That Breach Cyber/Data Security Measures Could Expose the Debtors and Oncor Electric to Significant Liabilities and Reputation Damage and Disrupt Business Operations, Which Could Have a Material Effect on the Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s Results of Operations, Liquidity, and Financial Condition.

Much of the Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s information technology infrastructure is connected (directly or indirectly) to the Internet. There have been numerous attacks on government and industry information technology systems through the Internet that have resulted in material operational, reputation and/or financial costs. While the Debtors and Oncor Electric’s have controls in place designed to protect the Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s infrastructure and have not had any significant breaches, a breach of cyber/data security measures that impairs the Debtors’ or Oncor Electric’s information technology infrastructure could disrupt normal business operations and affect the Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s ability to control the TCEH Debtors’ generation assets and Oncor Electric’s transmission and

 

172


distribution assets, access retail customer information and limit communication with third parties. Any loss of confidential or proprietary data through a breach could adversely affect the Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s reputation, expose them to material legal/regulatory claims, impair the Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s ability to execute on business strategies, and/or materially affect the Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.

As part of the continuing development of new and modified reliability standards, the FERC has approved changes to its Critical Infrastructure Protection reliability standards and has established standards for assets identified as “critical cyber assets.” Under the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the FERC can impose penalties (up to $1 million per day, per violation) for failure to comply with mandatory electric reliability standards, including standards to protect the power system against potential disruptions from cyber and physical security breaches.

 

  (s) The TCEH Debtors’ Retail Operation (TXU Energy) May Lose a Significant Number of Customers Due to Competitive Marketing Activity By Other Retail Electricity Providers.

The TCEH Debtors’ retail operation faces competition for customers. Competitors may offer lower prices and other incentives, or attempt to use the Chapter 11 Cases against the TCEH Debtors, which, despite the business’ long-standing relationship with customers, may attract customers away from the TCEH Debtors. The TCEH Debtors operate in a very competitive retail market, as is reflected in a 21% decline in customers (based on meters) served over the last five years.

In some retail electricity markets, the TCEH Debtors’ principal competitor may be the incumbent REP. The incumbent REP has the advantage of long-standing relationships with its customers, including well-known brand recognition.

In addition to competition from the incumbent REP, the TCEH Debtors may face competition from a number of other energy service providers, other energy industry participants, or nationally branded providers of consumer products and services who may develop businesses that will compete with the TCEH Debtors. Some of these competitors or potential competitors may be larger or better capitalized than the TCEH Debtors. If there is inadequate potential margin in these retail electricity markets, it may not be profitable for the TCEH Debtors to compete in these markets.

 

  (t) The TCEH Debtors’ Retail Operations are Subject to the Risk that Sensitive Customer Data May be Compromised, Which Could Result in an Adverse Impact to the TCEH Debtors’ Reputation and/or Results of the Retail Operations.

The TCEH Debtors’ retail business requires access to sensitive customer data in the ordinary course of business. Examples of sensitive customer data are names, addresses, account information, historical electricity usage, expected patterns of use, payment history, credit bureau data, credit and debit card account numbers, drivers’ license numbers, social security numbers, and bank account information. The TCEH Debtors’ retail business may need to provide sensitive customer data to vendors and service providers who require access to this information to provide services, such as call center operations, to the retail business. If a significant breach occurred, the reputation of the TCEH Debtors’ retail business may be adversely affected, customer confidence may be diminished, or the TCEH Debtors’ retail business may be subject to legal claims, any of which may contribute to the loss of customers and have a negative impact on the business and its results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.

 

  (u) The TCEH Debtors’ Retail Operations Rely On the Infrastructure of Local Utilities or Independent Transmission System Operators to Provide Electricity To, and To Obtain Information About, Its Customers; Any Infrastructure Failure Could Negatively Impact Customer Satisfaction and Could Have a Material Negative Impact on the Business and Results of Operations.

The TCEH Debtors’ retail operations depend on transmission and distribution facilities owned and operated by unaffiliated utilities, as well as Oncor Electric’s facilities, to deliver the electricity they sell to their customers. If transmission capacity is inadequate, the TCEH Debtors’ ability to sell and deliver electricity may be hindered, and the TCEH Debtors may have to forgo sales or buy more expensive wholesale electricity than is available in the capacity-constrained

 

173


area. For example, during some periods, transmission access is constrained in some areas of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, where the TCEH Debtors have a significant number of customers. The cost to provide service to these customers may exceed the cost to provide service to other customers, resulting in lower profits. In addition, any infrastructure failure that interrupts or impairs delivery of electricity to the Debtors’ customers could negatively impact customer satisfaction with the TCEH Debtors’ service.

 

  (v) The TCEH Debtors’ Retail Operations Offer Bundled Services to Customers, With Some Bundled Services Offered At Fixed Prices and For Fixed Terms; if the TCEH Debtors’ Costs For These Bundled Services Exceed the Prices Paid By the TCEH Debtors’ Customers, the TCEH Debtors’ Results of Operations Could Be Materially Affected.

The TCEH Debtors’ retail operations offer customers a bundle of services that include, at a minimum, electricity plus transmission, distribution and related services. The prices the TCEH Debtors charge for the bundle of services or for the various components of the bundle, any of which may be fixed by contract with the customer for a period of time, could fall below the TCEH Debtors’ underlying cost to provide the components of such services.

 

  (w) The TCEH Debtors’ Revenues and Results of Operations May be Adversely Impacted by Decreases in Wholesale Market Prices of Electricity Due to the Development of Wind Generation Sources.

A significant amount of investment in wind generation in the ERCOT market over the past few years has increased overall wind power generation capacity. Generally, the increased capacity has led to lower wholesale electricity prices (driven by lower market heat rates) in the regions at or near wind power development. As a result, the profitability of the TCEH Debtors’ generation facilities and electricity purchase contracts, including certain wind generation power purchase contracts, has been impacted and could be further impacted by the effects of the wind power development, and the value could significantly decrease if wind power generation has a material sustained effect on market heat rates.

 

  (x) The Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s Results of Operations and Financial Condition Could Be Negatively Impacted by Any Development or Event Beyond the Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s Control that Causes Economic Weakness in the ERCOT Market.

The Debtors and Oncor Electric derive substantially all of their revenues from operations in the ERCOT market, which covers approximately 75% of the geographical area in the State of Texas. As a result, regardless of the state of the economy in areas outside the ERCOT market, economic weakness in the ERCOT market could lead to reduced demand for electricity in the ERCOT market. Such a reduction could have a material negative impact on the Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s results of operations, liquidity, and financial condition.

 

  (y) The Loss of the Services of the Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s Key Management and Personnel Could Adversely Affect their Ability to Operate their Businesses.

The Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s future success will depend on their ability to continue to attract and retain highly qualified personnel. The Debtors and Oncor Electric compete for such personnel with many other companies, in and outside their industry, government entities and other organizations. The Debtors and Oncor Electric may not be successful in retaining current personnel or in hiring or retaining qualified personnel in the future. The Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s failure to attract new personnel or retain existing personnel could have a material effect on their businesses.

 

174


  (z) The Debtors have Disclosed a Material Weakness in their Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Relating to Their Accounting for Deferred Income Taxes, Which Could Adversely Affect their Ability to Report their Financial Condition, Results of Operations or Cash Flows Accurately and On a Timely Basis.

In connection with the Debtors’ assessment of internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, they identified a material weakness in their internal control over financial reporting relating to their accounting for deferred income taxes.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Debtors’ annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management’s procedures and testing identified control deficiencies related to incomplete underlying data and insufficient documentation in the reconciliation process related to deferred income tax accounting that led management to conclude that control deficiencies existed at December 31, 2014. As a result of these deficiencies, until they are substantially remediated, it is reasonably possible that internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect errors in the financial statements from occurring that could be material, either individually or in the aggregate.

While actions have been taken to improve the Debtors’ internal controls in response to the identified material weakness related to certain aspects of accounting for deferred income taxes, additional work continues to address and remediate the identified material weakness. Until these actions are fully implemented and tested, a material weakness in the Debtors’ internal control over financial reporting will continue to exist. As a result, the Debtors’ ability to timely or accurately report their future financial condition, results of operations or cash flows may be adversely affected.

 

  2. Risk Factors Related to the Business Operations of EFH Corp., EFIH, and Oncor Electric.

EFIH is a holding company that conducts its operations principally through Oncor Holdings and Oncor Electric. As such, the risks described below relating to Oncor’s business will apply to EFH Corp. and EFIH and, following the Effective Date, Reorganized EFH and Reorganized EFIH. Given the “ring-fencing” measures that have been implemented by EFH Corp. and Oncor, EFH Corp., and EFIH will have limited ability to mitigate any of the risks related to Oncor’s business operations, which are discussed in detail below.

 

  (a) The Costs of Providing Postretirement Benefits and Related Funding Requirements Are Subject to Changes in Value of Fund Assets, Benefit Costs, Demographics, and Actuarial Assumptions and May Have a Material Effect on the Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s Results of Operations, Liquidity, and Financial Condition.

Oncor Electric provides, and to a limited extent, the Debtors provide pension benefits based on either a traditional defined benefit formula or a cash balance formula, and the Debtors and Oncor Electric also provide certain health care and life insurance benefits to eligible employees and their eligible dependents upon the retirement of such employees. The Debtors’ and Oncor Electric’s costs of providing such benefits and related funding requirements are dependent upon numerous factors, assumptions, and estimates and are subject to changes in these factors, assumptions, and estimates, including the market value of the assets funding the pension and OPEB plans. Fluctuations in financial market returns as well as changes in general interest rates may result in increased or decreased benefit costs in future periods.

The values of the investments that fund the pension and OPEB plans are subject to changes in financial market conditions. Significant decreases in the values of these investments could increase the expenses of the pension plans and the costs of the OPEB plans and related funding requirements in the future. Oncor Electric’s and the Debtors’ costs of providing such benefits and related funding requirements are also subject to changing employee demographics (including age, compensation levels and years of accredited service), the level of contributions made to retiree plans, expected and actual earnings on plan assets and the discount rates used in determining the projected benefit obligation. Changes made to the provisions of the plans may also impact current and future benefit costs. Fluctuations in financial market returns as well as changes in general interest rates may result in increased or decreased benefit costs in future periods.

 

175


  (b) A Substantial Percentage of Oncor Electric’s Revenues Come From TCEH and Its Subsidiaries.

Revenues from TCEH represented 25% and 27% of Oncor Electric’s total reported consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2014, and 2013, respectively. The Debtors cannot be certain that the TCEH Debtors will successfully emerge from bankruptcy or, if they do so, have a comparable financial condition and produce comparable results of operations as they have in the past. Any such changes may have an adverse effect on Oncor Electric’s revenues which may, in turn, have an adverse effect on Reorganized EFH or the Reorganized EFIH Debtors.

 

  (c) Oncor Electric’s Capital Deployment Program May Not Be Executed as Planned, Which Could Adversely Impact Oncor Electric’s Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

There can be no guarantee that the execution of Oncor Electric’s capital deployment program for its electricity delivery facilities will be successful, and there can be no assurance that the capital investments Oncor Electric intends to make in connection with its electricity delivery business will produce the desired reductions in cost and improvements to service and reliability.

 

  (d) Market Volatility May Impact Oncor Electric’s Business and Financial Condition in Ways That Oncor Electric Currently Cannot Predict.

Because Oncor Electric’s operations are capital intensive, Oncor Electric expects to rely over the long-term upon access to financial markets as a significant source of liquidity for capital requirements not satisfied by cash-on-hand, operating cash flows, or Oncor Electric’s revolving credit facility. Considering Oncor Electric’s construction plans to service Oncor Electric’s growing customer base and ERCOT needs, it is likely Oncor Electric will incur additional debt. In addition, Oncor Electric may incur additional debt in connection with other investments in infrastructure or technology, such as smart grid systems. Oncor Electric’s ability to access the capital or credit markets may be severely restricted at a time when Oncor Electric would like, or need, to access those markets, which could have an impact on Oncor Electric’s flexibility to react to changing economic and business conditions. In addition, the cost of debt financing may be materially and adversely impacted by these market conditions. Even if Oncor Electric is able to obtain debt financing, Oncor Electric may be unable to recover in rates some or all of the costs of such debt financing if they exceed Oncor Electric’s PUCT-approved cost of debt determined in Oncor Electric’s most recent rate review or subsequent rate reviews. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the capital and credit markets will continue to be a reliable or acceptable source of short-term or long-term financing for Oncor Electric. Additionally, disruptions in the capital and credit markets could have a broader impact on the economy in general in ways that could lead to reduced electricity usage, which could have a negative impact on Oncor Electric’s revenues, or have an impact on Oncor Electric’s customers, counterparties, and/or lenders, causing them to fail to meet their obligations to Oncor Electric.

 

  (e) Adverse Actions with Respect to Oncor Electric’s Credit Ratings Could Negatively Affect Oncor Electric’s Ability to Access Capital.

Oncor Electric’s access to capital markets and its cost of debt are directly affected by its credit ratings. Any adverse action with respect to Oncor Electric’s credit ratings could generally cause borrowing costs to increase and the potential pool of investors and funding sources to decrease. Oncor Electric’s credit ratings are currently substantially higher than those of the Debtors. If credit rating agencies were to change their views on Oncor Electric’s independence of the Debtors, Oncor Electric’s credit ratings would likely decline. Despite the ring-fencing measures, rating agencies have in the past, and could in the future, take an adverse action with respect to Oncor Electric’s credit ratings in response to actions taken by the Debtors in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases. In the event any such adverse action takes place and causes Oncor Electric’s borrowing costs to increase, Oncor Electric may not be able to recover such increased costs if they exceed the PUCT-approved cost of debt determined in its most recent rate review or subsequent rate reviews.

Most of Oncor Electric’s suppliers and counterparties require an expected level of creditworthiness in order for them to enter into transactions with Oncor Electric. If Oncor Electric’s credit ratings decline, the costs to operate Oncor Electric’s business would likely increase because counterparties could require the posting of collateral in the form of cash-related instruments, or counterparties could decline to do business with Oncor Electric.

 

176


  (f) The Rates of Oncor Electric’s Electricity Delivery Business Are Subject to Regulatory Review, and May Be Reduced Below Current Levels, Which Could Adversely Impact Oncor Electric’s Results of Operations, Liquidity, and Financial Condition.

The rates charged by Oncor Electric are regulated by the PUCT and certain cities and are subject to cost-of-service regulation and annual earnings oversight. This regulatory treatment does not provide any assurance as to achievement of earnings levels. Oncor Electric’s rates are regulated based on an analysis of Oncor Electric’s costs and capital structure, as reviewed and approved in a regulatory proceeding. While rate regulation is premised on the full recovery of prudently incurred costs and a reasonable rate of return on invested capital, there can be no assurance that the PUCT will judge all of Oncor Electric’s costs to have been prudently incurred, that the PUCT will not reduce the amount of invested capital included in the capital structure that Oncor Electric’s rates are based upon, or that the regulatory process in which rates are determined will always result in rates that will produce full recovery of Oncor Electric’s costs, including regulatory assets reported on Oncor Electric’s balance sheet, and the return on invested capital allowed by the PUCT.

 

  (g) Disruptions at Electricity Generation Facilities Owned by Third Parties Could Interrupt Oncor Electric’s Sales of Transmission and Distribution Services.

The electricity Oncor Electric transmits and distributes to customers of REPs is obtained by the REPs from electricity generation facilities. Oncor Electric does not own or operate any generation facilities. If generation is disrupted or if generation capacity is inadequate, Oncor Electric’s sales of transmission and distribution services may be diminished or interrupted, and Oncor Electric’s results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows may be adversely affected.

 

  (h) Oncor Electric’s Revenues and Results of Operations are Seasonal.

Oncor Electric’s revenues are subject to seasonality, weather conditions and other electricity usage drivers, with revenues being highest in the summer.

 

  (i) Oncor Electric is Dependent Upon a Limited Number of Suppliers and Service Providers for Certain of the Operations; If Any of These Suppliers or Service Providers Failed or Became Unable to Perform on Their Agreements With Oncor Electric, it Could Disrupt Oncor Electric’s Business and Have an Adverse Effect on Oncor Electric’s Cash Flows, Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Oncor Electric relies on suppliers and service providers to provide Oncor Electric with certain specialized materials and services, including materials and services for power line maintenance, repair, and construction, the AMS, information technology, and customer operations. The financial condition of Oncor Electric’s suppliers and service providers may be adversely affected by general economic conditions, such as credit risk and the turbulent macroeconomic environment in recent years. Because many of the tasks of these suppliers and service providers require specialized electric industry knowledge and equipment, if any of these parties fail to perform, go out of business or otherwise become unable to perform, Oncor Electric may not be able to transition to substitute suppliers or service providers in a timely manner. This could delay Oncor Electric’s construction and improvement projects, increase Oncor Electric’s costs and disrupt Oncor Electric’s operations, which could negatively impact their business and reputation. In addition, Oncor Electric could be subject to fines or penalties in the event a delay resulted in a violation of a PUCT or other regulatory order.

 

  (j) Risks Related to the Oncor Electric Ring-Fencing.

 

  (i) EFH Corp. and EFIH Have a Very Limited Ability to Control Activities at Oncor Electric Due to Structural and Operational “Ring-Fencing” Measures.

EFH Corp. and EFIH depend upon Oncor Electric for a significant amount of their cash flows and rely on such cash flows in order to satisfy their obligations. However, EFH Corp. and EFIH have a very limited ability to control the activities of Oncor Electric. As part of the ring-fencing measures implemented by EFH Corp. and Oncor

 

177


Electric, including certain measures required by the PUCT’s Order on Rehearing in Docket No. 34077, a majority of the members of Oncor Electric’s board of directors are required to meet the New York Stock Exchange requirements for independence in all material respects, and the unanimous, or majority, consent of such directors is required for Oncor Electric to take certain actions. In addition, any new independent directors are required to be appointed by the nominating committee of Oncor Holdings’ board of directors, a majority of whose members are independent directors. No member of EFH Corp.’s or EFIH’s management is a member of Oncor Electric’s board of directors. Under Oncor Holdings’ and Oncor Electric’s organizational documents, EFH Corp. has limited indirect consent rights with respect to the activities of Oncor Electric, including (i) new issuances of equity securities by Oncor Electric, (ii) material transactions with third parties involving Oncor Electric outside of the ordinary course of business, (iii) actions that cause Oncor Electric’s assets to be subject to an increased level of jurisdiction of the FERC, (iv) any changes to the state of formation of Oncor Electric, (v) material changes to accounting methods not required by US GAAP, and (vi) actions that fail to enforce certain tax sharing obligations between Oncor Electric and EFH Corp. In addition, Oncor Electric’s organizational agreements contain restrictions on Oncor Electric’s ability to make distributions to its members, including indirectly to EFH Corp. or EFIH.

Additionally, the restrictive measures required by the PUCT’s Order on Rehearing in Docket No. 34077, include, among other things:

 

    Oncor Electric not being restricted from incurring its own debt;

 

    Oncor Electric not guaranteeing or pledging any of its assets to secure the debt of any member of EFH; and

 

    restrictions on distributions by Oncor Electric, and the right of the independent members of Oncor Electric’s board of directors and the largest non-majority member of Oncor Electric to block the payment of distributions to Oncor Holdings (i.e., such distributions not being available to EFH Corp. under certain circumstances).

The Debtors currently expect such “ring-fencing” measures to remain in place following the Debtors’ emergence from bankruptcy. Thus, consistent with EFH Corp.’s and EFIH’s current limited ability to control the activities of Oncor Electric, Reorganized EFH will have a very limited ability to control the activities of Oncor Electric after emergence.

 

  (ii) Oncor Electric May or May Not Make Any Distributions to EFH Corp. or EFIH or Reorganized EFH After Emergence.

EFH Corp. and Oncor Electric have implemented certain structural and operational ring-fencing measures, and as part of the ring-fencing measures, a majority of the members of the board of directors of Oncor Electric are required to be, and are, independent from EFH Corp. and EFIH. Any new independent directors of Oncor Electric are required to be appointed by the nominating committee of Oncor Holdings, which is required to be, and is, comprised of a majority of directors that are independent from EFH Corp. and EFIH. The organizational documents of Oncor Electric give these independent directors, acting by majority vote, and, during certain periods, any director designated by Texas Transmission, the express right to prevent distributions from Oncor Electric if they determine that it is in the best interests of Oncor Electric to retain such amounts to meet expected future requirements. The Debtors currently expect such “ring-fencing” measures to remain in place following the Debtors’ emergence from bankruptcy. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that Oncor Electric will make any distributions to EFH Corp. or EFIH or Reorganized EFH after emergence.

In addition, Oncor Electric’s organizational documents prohibit Oncor Electric from making any distribution to its owners, including EFH Corp. and EFIH or Reorganized EFH after emergence, so long as and to the extent that such distribution would cause Oncor Electric’s regulatory capital structure to exceed the debt-to-equity ratio established from time to time by the PUCT for ratemaking purposes, which is currently set at 60% debt to 40% equity. Under the terms of a Federal and State Income Tax Allocation Agreement, Oncor Electric makes tax payments to EFH Corp. (bypassing EFIH) based on its share of an amount calculated to approximate the amount of taxes Oncor Electric would have paid to the IRS if it was a stand-alone taxpayer.

 

178


Moreover, Oncor Electric has incurred debt in connection with CREZ and may incur additional debt in connection with other investments in infrastructure or technology. Accordingly, while Oncor Electric is required to maintain a specified debt-to-equity ratio, there can be no assurance that Oncor Electric’s equity balance will be sufficient to maintain the required debt-to-equity ratio established from time to time by the PUCT for ratemaking purposes, thereby restricting Oncor Electric from making any distributions to EFH Corp. or EFIH or Reorganized EFH after emergence.

 

  (k) Risks Related to Holding Company Structure.

 

  (i) EFH Corp., EFIH, EFCH, TCEH are, and Reorganized EFH and Reorganized TCEH (Each Such Entity, a “Holding Company”) Will Be, a Holding Company and Their Obligations Are, Or Will Be, Structurally Subordinated to Existing and Future Liabilities and Preferred Stock of Their Subsidiaries.

Each Holding Company’s cash flows and ability to meet its obligations are (or will be) largely dependent upon the earnings of its subsidiaries and the payment of such earnings to such Holding Company in the form of dividends, distributions, loans or otherwise, and repayment of loans or advances from such Holding Company. These subsidiaries are (or will be) separate and distinct legal entities and have (or will have) no obligation (other than any existing contractual obligations, which may be suspended or altered in the Chapter 11 Cases) to provide such Holding Company with funds for its payment obligations. Any decision by a subsidiary to provide its’ parent Holding Company with funds for its payment obligations, whether by dividends, distributions, loans or otherwise, will depend on, among other things, the subsidiary’s results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. In addition, a subsidiary’s ability to pay dividends may be limited by covenants in its existing and future debt agreements, applicable law and the Chapter 11 Cases. Further, the distributions that may be paid by Oncor Electric are limited as discussed above.

Because each Holding Company is a holding company, its obligations to its creditors are (or will be) structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities and existing and future preferred stock of its subsidiaries that do not guarantee such obligations. Therefore, with respect to subsidiaries which don’t guarantee its parent Holding Company’s obligations, such Holding Company’s rights and the rights of its creditors to participate in the assets of any subsidiary in the event that such a subsidiary is liquidated or reorganized are subject to the prior claims of such subsidiary’s creditors and holders of such subsidiary’s preferred stock. To the extent that a Holding Company may be a creditor with recognized claims against any of its subsidiaries, such Holding Company’s claims would still be subject to the prior claims of such subsidiary’s creditors to the extent that they are secured or senior to those held by such Holding Company.

 

E. Risks Related to the REIT Reorganization.75

 

  1. Implementing the REIT Reorganization Is Subject to Significant Contingency and Risk.

As discussed in greater detail above and below, implementing the REIT Reorganization is subject to uncertainty and risk with respect to regulatory, IRS, and other approvals. These risks include, but are not limited to, the need to obtain certain rulings from the IRS in connection with the Private Letter Ruling request (and supplements thereto). Even if all such rulings are obtained, there may be certain fact-specific issues that are not addressed by the Private Letter Ruling.

These risks also include the need to obtain regulatory approval from the PUCT in connection with the REIT Reorganization. Even if regulatory approval from the PUCT ultimately is obtained, the PUCT may impose certain conditions that could significantly affect Oncor Electric’s value. For example, the PUCT may require that a portion of the incremental value realized as a result of the REIT Reorganization be passed on to ratepayers in some form.

An additional risk associated with the REIT Reorganization is that the minority owner of Oncor Electric, Texas Transmission and/or the directors that Texas Transmission has appointed to Oncor Electric’s board of directors

 

75 

Many of the rules that apply to REITs are discussed in greater detail in Section X of this Disclosure Statement.

 

179


may seek to block or impose certain conditions on the REIT Reorganization on the basis that their consent is required to implement certain necessary structural steps. By pursuing the REIT Reorganization for the purpose of conducting an initial public offering of Reorganized EFH and invoking applicable clauses in the relevant Oncor Electric governing agreements, however, the majority owners of Oncor Electric may be able to require Texas Transmission’s good faith cooperation with those steps, including taking such actions as may be reasonably required.

 

  2. REITCo and Its Subsidiaries Will Be Dependent on OpCo Unless and Until REITCo and Its Subsidiaries Substantially Diversify Their Portfolios.

PropCo will own REITCo’s (as defined below)76 electricity distribution and transmission assets that are considered real property or real estate assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes (along with certain other property). OpCo will lease and operate such assets (with the exception of certain assets that satisfy the “active trade or business” requirement with respect to Reorganized EFH) pursuant to one or more lease agreements. Payments under such lease agreements will account for a significant portion of PropCo’s revenues. There can be no assurance that OpCo will have sufficient assets, income, and access to financing to enable it to satisfy its payment obligations on account of the leases. The inability or unwillingness of OpCo to meet its rent obligations and other obligations under the leases could materially adversely affect PropCo’s business, financial position, or results of operations, including PropCo’s ability to pay dividends to REITCo to enable REITCo to satisfy its REIT distribution requirements (which are discussed in greater detail below). For these reasons, if OpCo were to experience a material adverse effect on its business, financial position, or results of operations, the business, financial position, or results of operations of PropCo and REITCo could also be materially adversely affected.

Due to PropCo’s dependence on rental payments from OpCo as a primary source of revenues, PropCo may be limited in its ability to enforce its rights under or to terminate the lease, either in full or with respect to any particular assets. Failure by OpCo to comply with the terms of the lease or to comply with applicable PUCT regulations could require PropCo to find another lessee, which could be subject to regulatory approval by the PUCT, and there could be a decrease or cessation of rental payments by OpCo.

 

  3. If REITCo Does Not Qualify for Taxation as a REIT, or Fails to Remain Qualified for Taxation as a REIT, REITCo Will Be Subject to U.S. Federal Income Tax as a Regular Corporation and Could Face a Substantial Tax Liability.

The Debtors intend that REITCo will be organized and will operate in a manner that will allow REITCo to qualify for taxation as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Qualification for taxation as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex IRC provisions for which only limited judicial and administrative authorities exist. Even a technical or inadvertent violation of any of these provisions could jeopardize REITCo’s qualification for taxation as a REIT.

REITCo’s qualification and taxation as a REIT will depend on REITCo’s satisfaction of specified asset, income, organizational, distribution, shareholder ownership, and other requirements on a continuing basis (as discussed in more detail below). REITCo’s ability to satisfy the asset tests depends on REITCo’s analysis of the characterization and fair market values of PropCo’s assets. In addition, REITCo’s ability to satisfy the requirements to qualify for taxation as a REIT may depend in part on the actions of third parties over which it has no control or only limited influence.

As discussed below, the Debtors expect that they will supplement the Private Letter Ruling request to seek rulings on certain issues relevant to REITCo’s qualification for taxation as a REIT. If received, REITCo may generally rely upon the ruling. However, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not challenge REITCo’s qualification for taxation as a REIT on the basis of other issues or facts outside the scope of the ruling, if provided.

If REITCo were to fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any taxable year (including with respect to the E&P Purging Dividend (defined and discussed in further detail below)), it would be subject to U.S. federal income tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax, on its taxable income at regular corporate rates, and dividends paid

 

76 

In this Disclosure Statement, references to “REITCo” are references to the entity that will elect to be treated as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. For the avoidance of doubt, this entity is expected to be New EFH.

 

180


to REITCo’s shareholders would not be deductible by REITCo in computing its taxable income. Any resulting corporate tax liability could be substantial and would reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to Holders of REITCo stock, which in turn could have an adverse effect on the value of REITCo stock. Unless REITCo were entitled to relief under certain IRC provisions, REITCo also would be disqualified from reelecting to be taxed as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year in which REITCo failed to qualify for taxation as a REIT.

 

  4. Applicable REIT Laws May Restrict Certain Business Activities.

REITCo will be subject to various restrictions on its income, assets and activities (as discussed in more detail below). Business activities that could be impacted by applicable REIT laws include, but are not limited to, activities such as developing alternative uses of real estate. There is a possibility that business activities that would otherwise be prohibited by these restrictions could be conducted through one or more corporations that elect to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries (each a “TRS” and, in plural, “TRSs”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any such TRSs would be taxable as C corporations and would be subject to federal, state, local and, if applicable, foreign taxation on their taxable income.

 

  5. Legislative or Other Actions Affecting REITs Could Have a Negative Effect on REITCo.

The rules dealing with U.S. federal income taxation are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the IRS and the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”). Changes to the tax laws or interpretations thereof by the IRS and the Treasury, with or without retroactive application, could materially and adversely affect REITCo. The Debtors cannot predict how changes in the tax laws might affect REITCo. New legislation, Treasury regulations, administrative interpretations, or court decisions could significantly and negatively affect REITCo’s ability to qualify for taxation as a REIT or the U.S. federal income tax consequences to REITCo of such qualification.

 

  6. REITCo Could Fail to Qualify for Taxation as a REIT If Income it Receives from PropCo or Its Subsidiaries Is Not Treated as Qualifying Income.

Under applicable provisions of the IRC, REITCo will not qualify for taxation as a REIT unless it satisfies various requirements, including requirements relating to the sources of its gross income. Rents received or accrued by REITCo from OpCo through PropCo will not be treated as qualifying rent for purposes of these requirements if the lease is not respected as a true lease for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is instead treated as a service contract, joint venture, or some other type of arrangement. If the lease is not respected as a true lease for U.S. federal income tax purposes, REITCo will likely fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT.

In addition, subject to certain exceptions, rents received or accrued by REITCo from a tenant (including OpCo) through PropCo or its subsidiaries will not be treated as qualifying rent for purposes of these requirements if REITCo or an actual or constructive owner of 10% or more of REITCo stock actually or constructively owns 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of OpCo stock entitled to vote or 10% or more of the total value of all classes of such tenant’s stock. REITCo’s charter will provide for restrictions on ownership and transfer of its shares of stock, including restrictions on such ownership or transfer that would cause the rents received or accrued by REITCo from such tenant through PropCo or its subsidiaries to be treated as non-qualifying rent for purposes of the REIT gross income requirements. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that such restrictions will be effective in ensuring that rents received or accrued by REITCo through PropCo or its subsidiaries will be treated as qualifying rent for purposes of REIT qualification requirements.

 

  7. Dividends Payable by REITs Do Not Generally Qualify for the Reduced Tax Rates Available for Some Dividends.

The maximum U.S. federal income tax rate applicable to income from “qualified dividends” payable by U.S. corporations to U.S. shareholders that are individuals, trusts, and estates is currently 20% (and an additional 3.8% tax on net investment income may also be applicable). Dividends payable by REITs, however, generally are not eligible for the reduced rates applicable to “qualified dividends.” Although these rules do not adversely affect the taxation of REITs, the more favorable rates applicable to regular corporate qualified dividends could cause investors who are individuals, trusts, and estates to perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in the stock of other corporations that pay dividends, which could adversely affect the value of REITCo’s stock.

 

181


  8. REIT Distribution Requirements Could Adversely Affect REITCo’s Ability to Execute Its Business Plan.

REITCo generally must distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and excluding any net capital gains, in order for REITCo to maintain its qualification for taxation as a REIT. To the extent that REITCo satisfies this distribution requirement and qualifies for taxation as a REIT but distributes less than 100% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and including any net capital gains, REITCo will be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on its undistributed net taxable income. In addition, REITCo will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax if the actual amount that REITCo distributes to its shareholders for a calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under U.S. federal income tax laws. The Debtors intend that REITCo will make distributions to its shareholders to comply with the REIT requirements of the IRC.

From time to time, REITCo may generate taxable income greater than its cash flow as a result of differences in timing between the recognition of taxable income and the actual receipt of cash or the effect of nondeductible capital expenditures, the creation of reserves, or required debt amortization payments. If REITCo does not have other funds available in these situations, REITCo could be required to borrow funds on unfavorable terms, sell assets at disadvantageous prices, or distribute amounts that would otherwise be invested in future acquisitions to make distributions sufficient to enable REITCo to pay out enough of its taxable income to satisfy the REIT distribution requirements and to avoid corporate income tax and the 4% excise tax in a particular year. These alternatives could increase REITCo’s costs or reduce the value of its equity. Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder REITCo’s ability to grow, which could adversely affect the value of REITCo’s stock, or (as explained below) cause holders of REITCo’s stock to incur tax liabilities in excess of cash distributions. Moreover, restrictions in debt agreements of REITCo and its subsidiaries may limit the ability of REITCo or its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, or make certain distributions, that could negatively impact or preclude REITCo from meeting the 90% distribution requirement under certain circumstances. Alternatively, REITCo could elect to satisfy its distribution requirements by making taxable distributions of cash and stock (or in 100% “consent dividends,” if consent can be obtained), which could cause Holders of REITCo stock to incur so-called “phantom income” with respect to such dividends, which would be 100% taxable regardless of the amount of cash received. The risk of receiving “phantom income” could affect the trading values for REITCo stock. Consequently, there can be no assurance that REITCo will be able to make distributions at the anticipated distribution rate or any other rate.

 

  9. Even If REITCo Remains Qualified for Taxation as a REIT, REITCo May Face Other Tax Liabilities That Reduce Its Cash Flow.

Even if REITCo remains qualified for taxation as a REIT, REITCo may be subject to federal, state, and local taxes on its income and assets, including taxes on any undistributed income and state or local income, property, and transfer taxes. For example, REITCo may hold some of its assets or conduct certain of its activities through one or more TRSs or other subsidiary corporations that will be subject to federal, state, and local corporate-level income taxes as regular C corporations as well as state and local taxes. In addition, REITCo may incur a 100% excise tax on transactions with a TRS if they are not conducted on an arm’s-length basis. Moreover, the separation of Oncor Electric into OpCo and PropCo will result in an incremental total increase in Texas margin tax compared to the period prior to the REIT Reorganization.

 

  10. Complying with REIT Requirements May Cause REITCo to Forgo Otherwise Attractive Acquisition Opportunities or Liquidate Otherwise Attractive Investments.

As discussed in greater detail above and below, REITCo must satisfy specified asset and income tests to qualify for taxation as a REIT. As a result, REITCo may be required to liquidate or forgo otherwise attractive investments if such investments would cause REITCo to fail to satisfy applicable REIT asset and income tests.

 

  11. Complying with REIT Requirements May Limit REITCo’s Ability to Effectively Hedge and May Cause REITCo to Incur Tax Liabilities.

The REIT provisions of the IRC limit REITCo’s ability to hedge its assets and liabilities. Generally, income from certain hedging transactions that REITCo may enter into to manage the risk of interest rate changes with respect to borrowings made or to be made to acquire or carry real estate assets or from transactions to manage risk of currency

 

182


fluctuations with respect to any item of income or gain that satisfies the REIT gross income tests (including gain from the termination of such a transaction) does not constitute “gross income” for purposes of the 75% or 95% gross income tests that apply to REITs (which are discussed in greater detail below), provided that certain identification requirements are met. To the extent that REITCo enters into other types of hedging transactions or fails to properly identify such transactions as hedges, the resulting income is likely to be treated as gross income that is not qualifying income for purposes of both of the gross income tests (discussed below). As a result of these rules, REITCo may be required to limit its use of advantageous hedging techniques or implement those hedges through a TRS. This could expose REITCo to greater risks associated with changes in interest rates than REITCo would otherwise want to bear or increase the cost of REITCo’s hedging activities because the TRS may be subject to tax on gains.

 

  12. Even If REITCo Qualifies for Taxation as a REIT, REITCo Could Be Subject to Tax on Any Unrealized Net Built-In Gains in the Assets Held Before Electing to Be Taxed as a REIT.

REITCo will indirectly own appreciated assets that were indirectly owned by the Debtors (through the Debtors’ ownership of Oncor Electric) before REITCo elected to be taxed as a REIT. If REITCo disposes of any such appreciated assets during the ten-year period following REITCo’s election to be taxed as a REIT, REITCo will be subject to tax at the highest corporate tax rates on any gain from such assets to the extent of the excess of the fair market value of the assets on the date that they were acquired by REITCo (i.e., at the time that REITCo became a REIT) over the adjusted tax bases of such assets on such date, which are referred to as built-in gains. REITCo would be subject to this tax liability even if it qualifies for taxation as a REIT. Any recognized built-in gain will retain its character as ordinary income or capital gain and will be taken into account in determining REIT taxable income and REITCo’s distribution requirements. Any tax on the recognized built-in gain will reduce REIT taxable income. REITCo may choose not to sell in a taxable transaction appreciated assets it might otherwise sell during the ten-year period in which the built-in gain tax applies in order to avoid the built-in gain tax. However, there can be no assurances that such a taxable transaction will not occur. If REITCo sells such assets in a taxable transaction, the amount of corporate tax that REITCo will pay will vary depending on the actual amount of net built-in gain or loss present in those assets as of the time REITCo became a REIT. The amount of tax could be significant.

 

  13. If PropCo Is Treated as a Corporation for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes, REITCo Would Cease to Qualify for Taxation as a REIT and Suffer Other Adverse Consequences.

The Plan contemplates the use of an UPREIT structure (discussed in more detail below). The Debtors intend that PropCo (or PropCo’s owner)77 would be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, PropCo will not be subject to federal income tax on its income. Instead, each of its partners, including REITCo, will be allocated, and may be required to pay tax with respect to, its allocable share of PropCo’s income.

The Debtors cannot assure parties that the IRS will not challenge the status of PropCo or any other subsidiary partnership in which REITCo owns an interest as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or that a court would not sustain such a challenge. If the IRS were successful in treating PropCo or any other subsidiary partnership as an entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, REITCo could fail to meet the gross income tests and certain of the asset tests applicable to REITs and, accordingly, REITCo could cease to qualify for taxation as a REIT. Also, the failure of PropCo or any subsidiary partnership to qualify as a partnership could cause it to become subject to federal and state corporate income tax, which would reduce significantly the amount of cash available for debt service and for distribution to its partners, including REITCo.

 

  14. Any Tax Opinion Regarding REITCo’s Qualification for Taxation as a REIT Does Not Guarantee REITCo’s Ability to Qualify for Taxation as a REIT.

The Debtors may receive an opinion from counsel, providing that REITCo has been organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification for taxation as a REIT and REITCo’s proposed method of operation as represented by the Debtors will enable REITCo to satisfy the requirements for such qualification. The opinion will be based on representations made by the Debtors as to certain factual matters relating to REITCo’s organization and

 

77 

Specifically, the Debtors intend that Reorganized EFIH will be treated as a partnership. Additionally, in the event Oncor’s current minority owners remain in place, the Debtors would also intend that Oncor continue to be treated as a partnership.

 

183


intended or expected manner of operation. In addition, any such tax opinion will be based on the law existing and in effect on the date of the tax opinion. REITCo’s qualification and taxation as a REIT will depend on REITCo’s ability to meet on a continuing basis, through actual operating results, asset composition, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership, the various qualification tests imposed under the IRC. The party providing the tax opinion will not review REITCo’s compliance with these tests on a continuing basis. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that REITCo will satisfy such tests on a continuing basis. Also, any such tax opinion will represent counsel’s legal judgment based on the law in effect as of the date of the tax opinion, is not binding on the IRS or any court, and could be subject to modification or withdrawal based on future legislative, judicial or administrative changes to U.S. federal income tax laws, any of which could be applied retroactively. The party providing the tax opinion will have no obligation to advise REITCo or Holders of REITCo stock of any subsequent change in the matters stated, represented or assumed in the tax opinion or of any subsequent change in applicable law.

 

  15. Potential Liability From OpCo Separation.

As discussed in greater detail below, REITCo cannot own OpCo because of specified “related party rent” rules. The anticipated form of the OpCo separation is discussed below. Pursuant to the Plan Support Agreement, the Debtors currently anticipate that a portion of the EFH Group’s NOLs may be available to offset taxable gain associated with the OpCo separation. However, the taxable gain associated with the OpCo separation may be realized over the course of several years; in such case, the EFH Group’s tax attributes that exist prior to the Effective Date will not be available to offset such taxable gain. The Debtors cannot be certain that the OpCo separation will not result in any cash tax liability.

 

  16. REITCo Will Rely on Cash Distributions From Its Subsidiaries to Satisfy Applicable REIT Distribution Requirements.

As discussed in greater detail below, REITCo will be required to comply with certain REIT distribution requirements. To satisfy those requirements, REITCo will rely on cash distributions from PropCo, and such cash distributions may need to pass through other subsidiaries of REITCo. Under certain circumstances, REITCo’s subsidiaries may be unable to make sufficient cash distributions to REITCo, including because of insufficient cash flows from operations, limitations in debt documents, or limitations in organizational documents. In the event REITCo’s subsidiaries were unable to distribute cash to REITCo, REITCo may be unable to make sufficient distributions to satisfy REIT requirements, may be required to make such distributions in the form of taxable stock dividends or consent dividends, or may be required to raise capital by issuing additional debt or equity.

IX. Important Securities Laws Disclosures

The Plan provides for the offer, issuance, sale or distribution of the Rights, Reorganized TCEH Common Stock, New Reorganized TCEH Debt, Reorganized TCEH Sub Preferred Stock, New Reorganized EFIH Debt, Reorganized EFH Common Stock, New EFH Common Stock, Reorganized EFIH Membership Interests, and New EFH Merger Common Stock. The Debtors believe that each of the Rights, Reorganized TCEH Common Stock, New Reorganized TCEH Debt, Reorganized TCEH Sub Preferred Stock, New Reorganized EFIH Debt, Reorganized EFH Common Stock, New EFH Common Stock, Reorganized EFIH Membership Interests, and New EFH Merger Common Stock, as applicable, are or may be “securities,” as defined in Section 2(a)(1) of the Securities Act, section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, and applicable state securities laws.

The Debtors believe that the offer, issuance, sale, or distribution of (1) the Reorganized TCEH Common Stock to Holders of Allowed TCEH First Lien Claims, (2) the Reorganized EFH Common Stock to Holders of the Allowed TCEH Unsecured Debt Claims and Allowed General Unsecured Claims Against TCEH Debtors Other Than EFCH, and (3) the Reorganized EFIH Membership Interests issued to Holders of Allowed Interests in EFIH may be made without registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemption set forth in section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Debtors believe that the New EFH Merger Common Stock issued in exchange for Reorganized EFH Common Stock in the Merger without registration under the Securities Act may be made in reliance upon the exemption set forth in Section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code for the offer or sale under a chapter 11 plan of a security of a successor to the debtor if such securities are offered or sold in exchange for a claim against, or an interest in, such debtor. The Debtors will seek to obtain a ruling from the Bankruptcy Court in the Confirmation Order that the Section 1145(a)(1) exemption applies to the New EFH Merger Common Stock. In the event the Debtors are unable to obtain a ruling from the Bankruptcy Court that the issuance of the New EFH Merger Common Stock qualifies for the statutory exemption from securities law provided under section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors will either rely on another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or will be required to register the New EFH Merger Common Stock under the Securities Act, which may delay the Effective Date of the Plan.

Each of the Reorganized TCEH Common Stock, Reorganized EFH Common Stock, Reorganized EFIH Membership Interests and New EFH Merger Common Stock, are referred to herein as the “1145 Securities.”

The offering and issuance of the Rights and the New EFH Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Rights (excluding any such Rights and New EFH Common Stock offered and/or issued under a Private Rights Offering, as applicable), each pursuant to the Rights Offering, will be registered with the SEC pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act. As such, the Debtors believe that the shares of New EFH Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Rights (a) will not be “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act and (b) will be freely tradable and transferable by any initial recipient thereof that at the time of sale is not, and has not been within the prior 90 days, an “affiliate” of New EFH, as defined in Rule 144(a)(1) under the Securities Act.

The New Reorganized TCEH Debt, the New Reorganized EFIH Debt, the Reorganized TCEH Sub Preferred Stock, the Reorganized EFIH Membership Interests issued to OV2 pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letter, the New EFH Common Stock issued pursuant to the Backstop Agreement and the Equity Commitment Letter, and the Rights offered and issued pursuant to any Private Rights Offering (and the New EFH Common Stock issued upon the exercise of such Rights), as applicable, will each be issued without registration under the Securities Act or any similar federal, state, or local law in reliance upon section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation D promulgated thereunder and will not be “1145 Securities.”

 

A. Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code

Section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code exempts the offer and sale of securities under a plan of reorganization from registration under section 5 of the Securities Act and state securities laws if three principal requirements are satisfied: (i) the securities must be offered and sold under a plan of reorganization and must be securities of the debtor, of an affiliate participating in a joint plan with the debtor, or of a successor to the debtor under the plan; (ii) the recipients of the securities must hold prepetition or administrative expense claims against the debtor or interests in the debtor; and (iii) the securities must be issued entirely in exchange for the recipient’s claim against or

 

190


interest in the debtor, or principally in exchange for such claim or interest and partly for cash or property. Section 1145(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code generally exempts from registration under the Securities Act the offer of a security through any warrant, option, right to subscribe, or conversion privilege that was sold in the manner specified in section 1145(a)(1), or the sale of a security upon the exercise of such a warrant, option, right, or privilege. In general, offers and sales of securities made in reliance on the exemption afforded under section 1145(a) of the Bankruptcy Code are deemed to be made in a public offering. Accordingly, the securities issued pursuant to the section 1145 exemption may generally be resold by any holder thereof without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to the exemption provided by section 4(a)(1) thereof, unless the holder is an “underwriter” with respect to such securities, as such term is defined in section 1145(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. In addition, such securities generally may be resold by the recipients thereof without registration under state securities or “blue sky” laws pursuant to various exemptions provided by the respective laws of the individual states.

Section 1145(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code defines an “underwriter” for purposes of the Securities Act as one who, subject to certain exceptions, (1) purchases a claim or interest in the debtor with a view to distribution of any security to be received in exchange for such claim, (2) offers to sell securities offered or sold under the plan for the holders of such securities, (3) offers to buy securities issued under the plan from the holders of such securities, if the offer to buy is made with a view to distribution of such securities, and if such offer is under an agreement made in connection with the plan, with the consummation of the plan or with the offer or sale of securities under the plan, or (4) is an “issuer,” as used in section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, with respect to such securities. The term “issuer,” as used in section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, includes any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by, an issuer of securities, or any person under direct or indirect common control with such issuer.

To the extent that persons deemed to be “underwriters” under section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code receive 1145 Securities, resales by such persons would not be exempted by section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code from registration under the Securities Act or other applicable law. Generally, rule 144 of the Securities Act provides that persons who are affiliates of an issuer who resell securities will not be deemed to be underwriters if certain conditions are met. These conditions include that current public information with respect to the issuer be available at the time of sale, limitations as to the amount of securities that may be sold, and manner of sale and notice requirements.

You should confer with your own legal advisors to help determine whether or not you are an “underwriter.”

 

B. Subsequent Transfers of Securities Not Covered by the Section 1145(a) Exemption.

Securities that are neither issued pursuant to section 1145(a)(1) or section 1145(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code nor pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act will be deemed “restricted securities” and may not be sold, exchanged, assigned, or otherwise transferred unless they are registered, or an exemption from registration applies, under the Securities Act. Rule 144 of the Securities Act permits the public resale of restricted securities if certain conditions are met, and these conditions vary depending on whether the holder of the restricted securities is an “affiliate” of the issuer, as defined in Rule 144. A non-affiliate who has not been an affiliate of the issuer during the preceding three months may resell restricted securities after a six-month holding period unless certain current public information regarding the issuer is not available at the time of sale, in which case the non-affiliate may resell after a one-year holding period. An affiliate may resell restricted securities after a six-month holding period but only if certain current public information regarding the issuer is available at the time of the sale and only if the affiliate also complies with the volume, manner of sale and notice requirements of Rule 144.

PERSONS WHO RECEIVE SECURITIES UNDER THE PLAN ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN LEGAL ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS APPLICABLE UNDER THE FEDERAL OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND THE CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH SECURITIES MAY BE SOLD IN RELIANCE ON SUCH LAWS.

THE FOREGOING SUMMARY DISCUSSION IS GENERAL IN NATURE AND HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT SOLELY FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES. WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS CONCERNING, AND DO NOT PROVIDE, ANY OPINIONS OR ADVICE WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES OR THE BANKRUPTCY MATTERS DESCRIBED IN THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT. IN LIGHT OF THE UNCERTAINTY CONCERNING THE AVAILABILITY OF EXEMPTIONS FROM THE RELEVANT PROVISIONS OF FEDERAL AND STATE

 

191


SECURITIES LAWS, WE ENCOURAGE EACH HOLDER AND PARTY-IN-INTEREST TO CONSIDER CAREFULLY AND CONSULT WITH ITS OWN LEGAL ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO ALL SUCH MATTERS. BECAUSE OF THE COMPLEX, SUBJECTIVE NATURE OF THE QUESTION OF WHETHER A SECURITY IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE FEDERAL OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR WHETHER A PARTICULAR HOLDER MAY BE AN UNDERWRITER, WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATION CONCERNING THE ABILITY OF A PERSON TO DISPOSE OF THE SECURITIES ISSUED UNDER THE PLAN.

X. Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Plan

 

A. Introduction.

The following discussion is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the consummation of the Plan to the Debtors and to certain U.S. Holders (as defined below) of Claims against the Debtors that compose Classes entitled to vote on the Plan. The following summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences to Holders of Claims not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. This summary is based on the IRC, the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial authorities, published administrative positions of the IRS and other applicable authorities, all as in effect on the date of this Disclosure Statement and all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly with retroactive effect.

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a holder that is: (1) an individual citizen or resident of the U.S. for U.S. federal income tax purposes; (2) a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized under the laws of the U.S., any state thereof or the District of Columbia; (3) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of the source of such income; or (4) a trust (a) if a court within the U.S. is able to exercise primary jurisdiction over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S. persons have authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (b) that has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person. For purposes of this discussion, a “Non-U.S. Holder” is any holder that is not a U.S. Holder other than any partnership (or other entity treated as a partnership or other pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes). This summary does not discuss the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Plan to Non-U.S. Holders of Claims against or Interests in the Debtors.78

Pursuant to the Plan, the TCEH Debtors other than EFCH and TCEH will be separated from the EFH Debtors and the EFIH Debtors in a transaction intended generally to constitute a reorganization under sections 368(a)(1)(G) and 355 of the IRC. However, the Debtors do expect to recognize gain as a result of a so-called “busted 351” transaction (the “Preferred Stock Sale”). As a result of the Preferred Stock Sale, the Debtors anticipate that there will be a step-up in the tax basis in the assets transferred or deemed transferred to the Preferred Stock Entity (the “Basis Step-Up”) that will be determined in accordance with the definition of “Basis Step-Up” in the Plan. The Spin-Off and the Preferred Stock Sale are discussed in more detail below. In addition, the Plan provides that the Debtors will use reasonable efforts to implement the REIT Reorganization. Certain U.S. federal income tax considerations with respect to the REIT Reorganization are discussed below.

Due to the lack of definitive judicial and administrative authority in a number of areas, substantial uncertainty may exist with respect to some of the tax consequences described below. The Debtors have sought the Private Letter Ruling with respect to some, but not all, of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Plan to the Debtors and certain Holders of Claims and Interests.79 The following summary assumes that the Intended Tax Treatment of the Plan is respected for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Although the Private Letter Ruling, if obtained, will bind the IRS with respect to the rulings therein and to the extent the representations made by the Debtors in connection therewith are true, the IRS could attempt to assert that matters not ruled upon, or inaccurate representations, alter the tax consequences of the restructuring transactions consummated under the Plan. Moreover, this summary is not binding upon the IRS or the courts. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a different position than any position discussed herein.

This discussion does not purport to address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to the Debtors or to certain Holders in light of their individual circumstances. This discussion does not address tax issues with respect to such Holders subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws (including, for example, banks, governmental authorities or agencies, pass-through entities, subchapter S corporations, dealers and traders in securities, insurance companies, financial institutions, tax-exempt organizations, small business investment companies, non-U.S. Holders, Persons who are related to the Debtors within the meaning of the IRC, persons using a

mark-to-market method of accounting, Holders of Claims who are themselves in bankruptcy, regulated investment companies and those holding, or who will hold, Claims as part of a hedge, straddle, conversion, or other integrated transaction). No aspect of state, local, estate, gift, or non-U.S. taxation is addressed. Additionally, the net investment income tax imposed by section 1411 of the IRC is also not addressed. Furthermore, this summary assumes that a Holder of a Claim holds only Claims in a single Class and holds such a Claim as a “capital asset” (within the meaning of section 1221 of the IRC). This summary also assumes that the various debt and other arrangements to which the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors are a party will be respected for federal income tax purposes in accordance with their form.

If a partnership (or other entity treated as a partnership or other pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is a Holder, the tax treatment of a partner (or other owner) generally will depend upon the status of the partner (or other owner) and the activities of the entity and the partner (or other owner). Partners (or other owners) of partnerships (or other pass through entities) that are Holders are urged to consult their respective tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Plan.

THIS SUMMARY OF CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR CAREFUL TAX PLANNING AND ADVICE BASED UPON THE INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES PERTAINING TO A HOLDER OF A CLAIM OR INTEREST. ALL HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS FOR THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN.

 

B. Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Plan to the Debtors.

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Debtors (and certain non-Debtor affiliates) are members of an affiliated group of corporations (or entities disregarded for federal income tax purposes that are wholly owned by members of such group), of which EFH Corp. is the common parent (the “EFH Group”).80

TCEH is currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of EFCH, and EFCH is a wholly-owned subsidiary of EFH Corp. For federal income tax purposes, EFCH, TCEH, and the substantial majority of TCEH’s direct and indirect subsidiaries are entities that are disregarded from their regarded owner, EFH Corp., for federal income tax purposes. Similarly, EFIH is a wholly-owned subsidiary of EFH Corp. and is classified as a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes. As a consequence, EFH Corp. is treated as holding, for federal income tax purposes, all the assets and liabilities of EFIH, EFCH, TCEH, and TCEH’s subsidiaries that are also disregarded entities. Oncor is a partnership for federal income tax purposes; as a result, EFH Corp.’s tax results reflect its pro rata share of the results of Oncor and other items related to EFH Corp.’s indirect ownership of approximately 80% of the equity in Oncor (including income and gain recognized under section 704(c) of the IRC).

The Debtors currently project that, as of December 31, 2015 (and assuming, for illustrative purposes only, an Effective Date of December 31, 2015), the EFH Group will have approximately $4.9 billion of NOLs.81 The Debtors project that additional NOLs of approximately $100-150 million per month will be generated between January 1, 2016 and the Effective Date. As discussed below, the Debtors expect that all of the EFH Group’s NOLs will either be used or eliminated upon implementation of the Plan.

 

80  Additionally, a single Debtor entity, EFH CG Holdings Company LP, is a regarded partnership for federal income tax purposes. Approximately 19.5% of this entity is owned by non-Debtor Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC; the remaining interests are owned by various Debtor entities.
81  To A significant portion of these projected NOLs will not exist until the Effective Date. These projections assume that Oncor elects bonus depreciation for the 2014 taxable year and that the rest of the EFH Group does not elect bonus depreciation for the 2014 taxable year. These projections do not include the effect, if any, of bonus depreciation for the 2015 taxable year (to the extent bonus depreciation is authorized for 2015) or any NOLs attributable to makewhole payments, if any, other than NOLs attributable to the EFIH First Lien Settlement.

  1. Reorganized TCEH Spin-Off.

 

  (a) Divisive G Reorganization.

Pursuant to the Plan, TCEH will form Reorganized TCEH as a Delaware limited liability company that is disregarded for federal income tax purposes. Reorganized TCEH will issue the New Reorganized TCEH Debt to third parties for Cash, TCEH will transfer all of its interests in its subsidiaries (excluding the stock of TCEH Finance) to Reorganized TCEH in exchange for (a) 100% of the Reorganized TCEH membership interests and (b) the net Cash proceeds of the New Reorganized TCEH Debt, subject to preserving the Intended Tax Treatment, and the EFH Debtors will transfer to Reorganized TCEH (x) its equity interests in the Reorganized EFH Shared Services Debtors (or with the consent of TCEH and the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors, the assets and liabilities of the Reorganized EFH Shared Services Debtors related to the TCEH Debtors’ operations) and (y) with the consent of TCEH and the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors, certain other assets, liabilities, and equity interests related to the TCEH Debtors’ operations (including the equity interests of non-Debtor EFH Properties Company or the lease for the Debtors’ corporate headquarters at “Energy Plaza” held by EFH Properties Company (but not including any Cash on hand at EFH Properties Company)) (the “Contribution”). Following the Contribution and the Preferred Stock Sale (discussed below), Reorganized TCEH will convert to a Delaware corporation pursuant to Delaware’s corporate conversion statute (the “Reorganized TCEH Conversion”). For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the incorporation of Reorganized TCEH will be treated as if EFH Corp. contributed the TCEH assets and other assets contributed to Reorganized TCEH (a corporation) in exchange for all of the Reorganized TCEH Common Stock and the assumption of the New Reorganized TCEH Debt and certain other liabilities by Reorganized TCEH. Immediately following the Reorganized TCEH Conversion, TCEH will make distributions to Allowed TCEH First Lien Secured Claims in accordance with the Plan (the “Distribution”).

The Contribution, Reorganized TCEH Conversion, and Distribution are collectively intended to qualify as a reorganization pursuant to section 368(a)(1)(G) of the IRC with a distribution pursuant to section 355 of the IRC (a “Divisive G Reorganization”). Assuming qualification as a Divisive G Reorganization, the Debtors should not recognize any gain or loss with respect to the Spin-Off for U.S. federal income tax purposes, other than the gain recognized in connection with the Preferred Stock Sale, as discussed below, and after the Spin-Off, Reorganized TCEH should hold its assets with the same tax basis as EFH Corp. had in such assets, other than with respect to (i) the assets transferred or deemed transferred pursuant to the Preferred Stock Sale (as discussed below) and (ii) the Reorganized EFH Common Stock deemed contributed to Reorganized TCEH.

 

  (b) Preferred Stock Sale.

The Debtors currently project that the EFH Group will have approximately $4.9 billion of NOLs as of December 31, 2015, and that figure will increase (a) to the extent the Effective Date occurs after that date; (b) to the extent of bonus depreciation (if any) in 2015; and (c) to the extent any additional NOLs are generated as a result of makewhole settlement payments (if any). The Preferred Stock Sale will utilize the EFH Group’s available NOLs to achieve the Basis Step-Up prior to such NOLs being reduced as a result of the COD Income (defined below) that will be recognized under the Plan, subject to an NOL holdback amount.

To obtain the Basis Step-Up, prior to the Reorganized TCEH Conversion, TCEH will form the Preferred Stock Entity, which will be treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. After the Contribution (but before the Reorganized TCEH Conversion), Reorganized TCEH will contribute the equity in the Contributed TCEH Debtors (or, potentially, certain assets or joint interests in certain assets, as agreed upon by EFH Corp., the Plan Sponsors, and the TCEH Supporting First Lien Creditors in accordance with the Plan Support Agreement) (collectively, the “Contributed TCEH Assets”) to the Preferred Stock Entity in exchange for the Preferred Stock Entity’s (a) common stock and (b)the Reorganized TCEH Sub Preferred Stock.82

Immediately thereafter, and pursuant to a prearranged and binding agreement, Reorganized TCEH will sell all of the Reorganized TCEH Sub Preferred Stock in exchange for Cash to third party investors, provided, however, that Holders of TCEH First Lien Claims shall not be permitted to purchase the Reorganized TCEH Sub Preferred Stock. This sale will cause Reorganized TCEH’s contribution of the Contributed TCEH Assets to be taxable, because

 

82 

The New Reorganized TCEH Sub Preferred Stock will have voting rights under certain limited circumstances.

 

195


Reorganized TCEH will not have control of the Preferred Stock Entity for purposes of section 351 of the IRC. Because the Contributed TCEH Assets are either (a) equity interests in disregarded entities for federal income tax purposes or (b) assets held by entities that are disregarded for federal income tax purposes, EFH Corp. should recognize gain equal to the difference between the tax basis of the assets owned by the Preferred Stock Entity and the fair market value of such assets. The tax basis of such assets should be increased by the amount of the gain recognized, and such gain will be offset by the EFH Group’s tax attributes.

Due to the limitations on the use of NOL carryforwards to reduce alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) liability, it is expected that the Debtors will incur cash AMT liability as a result of the Preferred Stock Sale.

 

  2. EFH Recapitalization and Reorganization.

Other than consequences of the REIT Reorganization, which are discussed in greater detail below, the primary U.S. federal income tax effect of the reorganization will be the potential generation of cancelation of indebtedness income (“COD Income”) resulting from the discharge of Claims against the EFH Debtors and EFIH (discussed below). In particular, (a) the distribution of Reorganized EFH Common Stock to Holders of Claims (including to (i) Holders of Class C3 Claims pursuant to the Cash-Out Election; (ii) Holders of Class C4 Claims; and (iii) Holders of Class C5 Claims (to the extent such Holders receive Reorganized EFH Common Stock rather than Cash) is intended to qualify as a reorganization under section 368(a) of the IRC; and (b) the Merger of Reorganized EFH with and into New EFH is also intended to qualify as a reorganization under section 368(a) of the IRC.83 Thus, the distribution of Reorganized EFH Common Stock and the Merger should not result in the recognition of gain or loss.

 

  3. Cancelation of Debt and Reduction of Tax Attributes.

In general, absent an exception, a debtor will realize and recognize COD Income upon satisfaction of its outstanding indebtedness for total consideration less than the amount of such indebtedness. The most significant of these exceptions with respect to the Debtors is that taxpayers under the jurisdiction of a court in a case under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, where the discharge of debt occurs pursuant to that proceeding, are not required to recognize such COD Income. In that case, however, the taxpayer must reduce its tax attributes, such as its NOLs, general business credits, capital loss carryforwards, and tax basis in assets, by the amount of the COD Income avoided. Generally, the reduction in the tax basis of assets cannot exceed the excess of the total basis of the debtor’s property held immediately after the debt discharge over the total liabilities of the debtor immediately after the discharge (the “Liability Floor Rule”). Any attribute reduction will be applied as of the first day following the taxable year in which COD Income is recognized.

The amount of COD Income, in general, is the excess of (a) the adjusted issue price of the indebtedness satisfied or canceled, over (b) the sum of (i) the amount of cash paid, (ii) the issue price of any new indebtedness of the taxpayer issued and (iii) the fair market value of any other consideration. Because the Plan provides that Holders of certain Allowed Claims will receive their pro rata share of new debt instruments or equity interests rather than cash, the amount of COD Income will depend on the fair market value of the consideration (or the issue price of indebtedness) exchanged therefor. The fair market value of such consideration cannot be known with certainty until after the Effective Date. Accordingly, the amount of COD Income the Debtors may incur is uncertain. The Debtors do, however, expect that in all cases, the amount of COD Income will exceed the amount of EFH’s NOLs remaining after offsetting gain recognized as a result of the Preferred Stock Sale, as discussed above. As a result, any such remaining NOLs would be completely eliminated. However, the Debtors expect that, as a result of the Liability Floor Rule, the tax basis of the Reorganized Debtors’ assets will not be materially reduced.

Section 382 of the IRC limits a corporation’s use of its NOLs if that corporation undergoes an “ownership change.” Because the Consummation of the Plan is expected to result in the elimination of the Debtors’ NOLs, that limitation will have no material effect.

 

83  The Rights are being issued by New EFH, rather than by the Debtors.

 

196


  4. The TCEH Settlement Claim.

Pursuant to the Plan, TCEH holds the TCEH Settlement Claim against EFH Corp. The Plan provides that such Claim will be deemed satisfied upon consummation of the Merger and Purchase Agreement in accordance with the Plan. As noted above, TCEH is currently a disregarded entity from EFH Corp. for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, the TCEH Settlement Claim should be disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and there should be no resulting tax consequences from the treatment of the TCEH Settlement Claim under the Plan.

 

  5. Deemed Contribution of Reorganized EFH Common Stock

Pursuant to the Plan, the Holders of Allowed C3 Claims will be deemed to contribute the Reorganized EFH Common Stock they receive, in satisfaction and discharge of their Claims and pursuant to the Cash-Out Election, to Reorganized TCEH. Reorganized TCEH should not recognize gain or loss on this deemed contribution and should hold each share of Reorganized EFH Common Stock with the same tax basis as did the applicable Holder (as discussed below). The holding period for each share of Reorganized EFH Common Stock deemed contributed to Reorganized TCEH should include the applicable Holder’s holding period for such share.

 

C. Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Plan to Holders of Allowed Claims in Classes Entitled to Vote on the Plan.

As discussed below, the tax consequences of the Plan to Holders of Allowed Claims will depend on a variety of factors.

Recoveries under the Plan are significantly different, and these differences will change the U.S. federal income tax consequences to Holders of certain Claims.

As an initial matter, whether the Plan is fully or partially taxable will depend on whether the debt instruments being surrendered constitute “securities” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Whether a Claim that is surrendered and debt instruments received pursuant to the Plan constitute “securities” is determined based on all the facts and circumstances. Most authorities have held that the length of the term of a debt instrument at initial issuance is an important factor in determining whether such instrument is a security for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These authorities have indicated that a term of less than five years is evidence that the instrument is not a security, whereas a term of 10 years or more is evidence that it is a security. There are numerous other factors that could be taken into account in determining whether a debt instrument is a security, including the security for payment, the creditworthiness of the obligor, the subordination or lack thereof with respect to other creditors, the right to vote or otherwise participate in the management of the obligor, convertibility of the instrument into equity of the obligor, whether payments of interest are fixed, variable, or contingent, and whether such payments are made on a current basis or accrued. The Private Letter Ruling may address whether certain Claims surrendered pursuant to the Plan constitute “securities.”

The character of any recognized gain as capital gain or ordinary income will be determined by a number of factors, including the tax status of the U.S. Holder, the nature of the Claim in such U.S. Holder’s hands (including whether the Claim constitutes a capital asset), whether the Claim was purchased at a discount, whether and to what extent the U.S. Holder has previously claimed a bad debt deduction with respect to its Claim, and whether any part of the Holder’s recovery is treated as being on account of accrued but unpaid interest. Accrued interest and market discount are discussed below.

 

  1. Consequences to U.S. Holders of Claims.

 

  (a) Consequences to U.S. Holders of TCEH First Lien Secured Claims (Class C3).

Pursuant to the Plan, in full satisfaction and discharge of their Claims, Holders of Allowed Class C3 Claims will receive their pro rata share of (a) Reorganized TCEH Common Stock; (b) cash; (c) Rights,84 and (d) Reorganized EFH Common Stock.85 The treatment of a U.S. Holder of such a Claim will vary depending on whether a Class C3 Claim is a “security.”

 

84  The Rights will be issued by New EFH to such creditors.
85  Such Reorganized EFH Common Stock would be received pursuant to the Cash-Out Election and, prior to the Merger, will be deemed to be contributed to Reorganized TCEH.

 

197


  (i) Treatment if a Class C3 Claim Constitutes a “Security.”

If a Class C3 Claim constitutes a “security,” then the exchange of such a Claim for Reorganized TCEH Common Stock generally should be treated as part of the Divisive G Reorganization and distribution under section 355 of the IRC. Other than with respect to any amounts received that are attributable to accrued but untaxed interest, a U.S. Holder of such a Claim should recognize gain (but not loss), to the extent of the lesser of (a) the amount of gain realized from the exchange (generally equal to the fair market value of all of the consideration, including cash, received minus the Holder’s adjusted basis, if any, in the Claim) or (b) the cash and the fair market value of “other property” received in the distribution that is not permitted to be received under sections 355 and 356 of the IRC without the recognition of gain. Further, the exchange of such a Claim for Reorganized EFH Common Stock should be treated as a reorganization under section 368 of the IRC. Other than with respect to amounts attributable to accrued but untaxed interest, a U.S Holder of such a Claim should recognize gain (but not loss) to the extent of the lesser of (a) the amount of gain realized from the exchange or (b) the cash and the fair market value of “other property” received in the exchange that is not permitted to be received under sections 354 and 356 of the IRC without recognition of gain.

With respect to non-cash consideration that is treated as a “stock or security” of the Debtors, such U.S. Holder should obtain a tax basis in such property, other than any such amounts treated as received in satisfaction of accrued but untaxed interest, equal to (a) the tax basis of the Claim surrendered, less (b) the cash received, plus (c) gain recognized (if any). The holding period for such non-cash consideration should include the holding period for the surrendered Claims.

With respect to non-cash consideration that is not treated as a “stock or security” of the Debtors, U.S. Holders should obtain a tax basis in such property, other than any amounts treated as received in satisfaction of accrued but untaxed interest (or original issue discount), equal to the property’s fair market value as of the date such property is distributed to the U.S. Holder. The holding period for any such property should begin on the day following the receipt of such property.

The tax basis of any non-cash consideration treated as received in satisfaction of accrued but untaxed interest should equal the amount of such accrued but untaxed interest, but in no event should such basis exceed the fair market value of the stock received in satisfaction of accrued but untaxed interest. The holding period for the non-cash consideration treated as received in satisfaction of accrued but untaxed interest should not include the holding period of the debt instrument constituting the surrendered Claim, and should begin on the day following the receipt of such property.

 

  (ii) Treatment if a Class C3 Claim Does Not Constitute a “Security.”

Certain Class C3 Claims may not constitute “securities.” A U.S. Holder of such a Claim should be treated as receiving its distribution under the Plan in a taxable exchange under section 1001 of the IRC. Accordingly, other than with respect to any amounts received that are attributable to accrued but untaxed interest, a U.S. Holder of such a Claim would recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between (a) the sum of the cash and the fair market value of the “other property” received in exchange for the Claim and (b) such U.S. Holder’s adjusted basis, if any, in such a Claim.

Such U.S. Holder should obtain a tax basis in the non-cash consideration received, other than with respect to any amounts received that are attributable to accrued but untaxed interest, equal to the fair market value of the non-cash consideration as of the receipt of such property.

The tax basis of any non-cash consideration treated as received in satisfaction of accrued but untaxed interest should equal the amount of such accrued but untaxed interest, but in no event should such basis exceed the fair market value of the stock received in satisfaction of accrued but untaxed interest.

 

198


The holding period of the non-cash consideration should begin on the day following the receipt of such property.

 

  (iii) Exercise of Rights

A U.S. Holder that elects not to exercise the Rights may be entitled to claim a loss equal to the amount of tax basis in the Rights, subject to any limitations on such U.S. Holder’s ability to utilize capital losses. Such U.S. Holders are urged to consult with their own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of electing not to exercise the Rights.

A U.S. Holder that elects to exercise the Rights will be treated as purchasing New EFH Common Stock, in exchange for its Rights and the exercise price. Such a purchase generally will be treated as the exercise of an option under general tax principles. Accordingly, such a U.S. Holder should not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes when it exercises the Rights. A U.S. Holder’s aggregate tax basis in the New EFH Common Stock should equal the sum of (a) the amount of cash paid by the U.S. Holder to exercise its Rights plus (b) such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its Rights immediately before the option is exercised. A U.S. Holder’s holding period for the New EFH Common Stock received pursuant to the exercise of the Rights should begin on the day following such exercise.

 

  (b) Consequences to U.S. Holders of TCEH Unsecured Debt Claims (Class C4) and General Unsecured Claims Against the TCEH Debtors Other Than EFCH (Class C5).

Pursuant to the Plan, in full satisfaction and discharge of their Claims, Holders of Allowed Class C4 and C5 Claims will receive their pro rata share of (a) Reorganized EFH Common Stock and (b) Rights.86 The treatment of a U.S. Holder of such a Claim will vary depending on whether a Class C4 or C5 Claim is a “security.”

 

  (i) Treatment if a Class C4 or C5 Claim Constitutes a “Security.

If a Class C4 or C5 Claim constitutes a “security,” then the exchange of such a Claim should be treated as a reorganization under the IRC. Other than with respect to any amounts received that are attributable to accrued but untaxed interest, a U.S. Holder of such a Claim should recognize gain (but not loss), to the extent of the lesser of (a) the amount of gain realized from the exchange (generally equal to the fair market value of all of the consideration, including cash, received minus the Holder’s adjusted basis, if any, in the Claim) or (b) the cash and the fair market value of “other property” received in the distribution that is not permitted to be received under sections 354 and 356 of the IRC without the recognition of gain.

With respect to non-cash consideration that is treated as a “stock or security” of the Debtors, such U.S. Holder should obtain a tax basis in such property, other than any such amounts treated as received in satisfaction of accrued but untaxed interest, equal to (a) the tax basis of the Claim surrendered, less (b) the cash received, plus (c) gain recognized (if any). The holding period for such non-cash consideration should include the holding period for the surrendered Claims.

With respect to non-cash consideration that is not treated as a “stock or security” of the Debtors, U.S. Holders should obtain a tax basis in such property, other than any amounts treated as received in satisfaction of accrued but untaxed interest (or original issue discount), equal to the property’s fair market value as of the date such property is distributed to the U.S. Holder. The holding period for any such property should begin on the day following the receipt of such property.

The tax basis of any non-cash consideration treated as received in satisfaction of accrued but untaxed interest should equal the amount of such accrued but untaxed interest, but in no event should such basis exceed the fair market value of the non-cash consideration received in satisfaction of accrued but untaxed interest. The holding period for the non-cash consideration treated as received in satisfaction of accrued but untaxed interest should not include the holding period of the debt instrument constituting the surrendered Claim, and should begin on the day following the receipt of such property.

 

86  The Rights will be issued by New EFH to such creditors.

 

199


  (ii) Treatment if a Class C4 or C5 Claim Does Not Constitute a “Security.”

If a Class C4 or C5 Claim does not constitute a “security,” then a U.S. Holder of such a Claim should be treated as receiving its distribution under the Plan in a taxable exchange under section 1001 of the IRC.87 Accordingly, other than with respect to any amounts received that are attributable to accrued but untaxed interest, a U.S. Holder of such a Claim would recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between (a) the sum of the cash and the fair market value of the other property received in exchange for the Claim and (b) such U.S. Holder’s adjusted basis, if any, in such a Claim.

A U.S. Holder of such a Claim should obtain a tax basis in the New Reorganized EFH Common Stock and Rights, other than any such amounts treated as received in satisfaction of accrued but untaxed interest, equal to the fair market value of the New Reorganized EFH Common Stock and Rights as of the receipt of such property.

The tax basis of any New Reorganized EFH Common Stock or Rights treated as received in satisfaction of accrued but untaxed interest should equal the amount of such accrued but untaxed interest, but in no event should such basis exceed the fair market value of the New Reorganized EFH Common Stock or Rights received in satisfaction of accrued but untaxed interest.

The holding period for such New Reorganized EFH Common Stock and Rights should begin on the day following the receipt of such property.

 

  (iii) Exercise of Rights

A U.S. Holder that elects not to exercise the Rights may be entitled to claim a loss equal to the amount of tax basis in the Rights, subject to any limitations on such U.S. Holder’s ability to utilize capital losses. Such U.S. Holders are urged to consult with their own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of electing not to exercise the Rights.

A U.S. Holder that elects to exercise the Rights will be treated as purchasing New EFH Common Stock, in exchange for its Rights and the exercise price. Such a purchase generally will be treated as the exercise of an option under general tax principles. Accordingly, such a U.S. Holder should not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes when it exercises the Rights. A U.S. Holder’s aggregate tax basis in the New EFH Common Stock should equal the sum of (a) the amount of cash paid by the U.S. Holder to exercise its Rights plus (b) such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its Rights immediately before the option is exercised. A U.S. Holder’s holding period for the New EFH Common Stock received pursuant to the exercise of the Rights should begin on the day following such exercise.

 

  (iv) Deemed Contribution to Reorganized TCEH

Pursuant to the Plan, the Holders of Allowed C3 Claims will be deemed to contribute the Reorganized EFH Common Stock they receive, in satisfaction and discharge of their Claims and pursuant to the Cash-Out Election, to Reorganized TCEH. The Holders should not recognize gain or loss on this deemed contribution, and their basis in their Reorganized TCEH Common Stock should be increased by their basis in their Reorganized EFH Common Stock deemed contributed to Reorganized TCEH.

 

  (c) Accrued Interest.

To the extent that any amount received by a U.S. Holder of a surrendered Allowed Claim under the Plan is attributable to accrued but unpaid interest and such amount has not previously been included in the U.S. Holder’s gross income under such U.S. Holder’s method of accounting, such amount should be taxable to the U.S. Holder as ordinary interest income. Conversely, a U.S. Holder of a surrendered Allowed Claim may be able to recognize a deductible loss to the extent that any accrued interest on the debt instruments constituting such a Claim was previously included in the U.S. Holder’s gross income, but was not paid in full by the Debtors.

 

87  The Plan also provides that Holders of Class C5 Claims may receive cash in lieu of their Pro Rata share of Reorganized EFH Common Stock and Rights if such treatment is consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment. A U.S. Holder of such a Claim will be subject to the same treatment as U.S. Holders of a Class C4 or C5 Claim that is determined not to be a “security.”

 

200


The extent to which the consideration received by a U.S. Holder of a surrendered Allowed Claim will be attributable to accrued interest on the debt instrument constituting the surrendered Allowed Claim is unclear. U.S. Holders of Claims with accrued interest are urged to consult with their tax advisors regarding the allocation of the consideration.

 

  (d) Market Discount.

Under the “market discount” provisions of sections 1276 through 1278 of the IRC, some or all of any gain realized by a U.S. Holder exchanging the debt instruments constituting its Allowed Claim may be treated as ordinary income (instead of capital gain), to the extent of the amount of accrued “market discount” on the debt constituting the surrendered Allowed Claim.

In general, a debt instrument is considered to have been acquired with “market discount” if it is acquired other than on original issue and if the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the debt instrument is less than (a) the sum of all remaining payments to be made on the debt instrument, excluding “qualified stated interest,” or (b) in the case of a debt instrument issued with “original issue discount,” its adjusted issue price, by at least a de minimis amount (equal to 0.25% of the sum of all remaining payments to be made on the debt instrument, excluding qualified stated interest, multiplied by the number of remaining whole years to maturity).

Any gain recognized by a U.S. Holder on the taxable disposition (determined as described above) of a debt instrument that it acquired with market discount should be treated as ordinary income to the extent of the market discount that accrued thereon while such debt instrument was considered to be held by the U.S. Holder (unless the U.S. Holder elected to include market discount in income as it accrued). To the extent that a surrendered debt instrument that had been acquired with market discount is exchanged in a tax-free or other reorganization transaction for other property (as may occur here), any market discount that accrued on such debts but was not recognized by the U.S. Holder may be required to be carried over to the property received therefor and any gain recognized on the subsequent sale, exchange, redemption or other disposition of such property may be treated as ordinary income to the extent of the accrued but unrecognized market discount with respect to the exchanged debt instrument. These rules are complex and the application of the market discount rules to Allowed Claims is uncertain. U.S. Holders of Allowed Claims should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the market discount rules to their Claims.

 

D. REIT Structure Considerations.

 

  1. Overview of REIT Restructuring

As discussed above, as part of the reorganization and as a condition to the Plan, the Debtors and various parties in interest will exercise their reasonable efforts to implement the REIT Reorganization, pursuant to which Oncor will be restructured in a way intended to enable New EFH to be taxed as a REIT within the meaning of section 856 of the IRC, and to obtain certain rulings in the Private Letter Ruling regarding the same.

The final form of the REIT Reorganization is continuing to be evaluated. However, as part of any REIT Reorganization, Oncor would be split into two separate entities. One entity would own Oncor’s assets that are treated as real property for U.S. federal income tax purposes (the “Qualified Assets”), as well as certain other assets, including assets necessary to satisfy the “active trade or business” requirement of section 355 of the IRC with respect to the Spin-Off, either directly or indirectly through PropCo or through another subsidiary. Oncor’s other assets, as mutually determined by EFH Corp., the Equity Investors, and Hunt (the “OpCo Assets”) will be transferred to OpCo, which will be a newly-formed entity owned and controlled by Hunt or one or more of its affiliates, pursuant to a joint-survivor merger agreement to be entered into between Oncor (or a newly-formed corporate subsidiary of Oncor) and OpCo. No single person will own 10% or more of Reorganized EFH and OpCo.

The Debtors currently anticipate that the consideration payable by OpCo for the OpCo Assets will consist of (a) an upfront cash payment and (b) a deferred purchase price payable over a 10-year term. The overall purchase price will be determined, in part, by reference to an analysis by an independent appraiser. The joint-survivor merger should be treated as a taxable sale from Oncor (or a newly-formed corporate subsidiary of Oncor) to OpCo, which

 

201


will result in taxable gain based on the difference between the tax basis of the assets to be transferred to OpCo and the fair market value of OpCo.88 Pursuant to the Plan Support Agreement, the Debtors currently anticipate that a portion of the EFH Group’s NOLs may be available to offset taxable gain associated with the Oncor separation. However, the taxable gain associated with the Oncor separation may be realized over the course of several years; in such case, the EFH Group’s tax attributes that exist prior to the Effective Date will not be available to offset such taxable gain. The Debtors cannot be certain that the Oncor separation will not result in any cash tax liability.

PropCo will lease its Qualified Assets and certain other assets (collectively, the “Leased Assets”) to OpCo or one or more of OpCo’s subsidiaries pursuant to one or more leases as agreed between PropCo and OpCo. Such leases will be on terms to be mutually agreed between EFH, the Equity Investors, and Hunt, subject to any required governmental approvals.

New EFH, Reorganized EFIH, and (subject to any applicable governmental or ring-fencing requirements) PropCo will enter into a management agreement with Hunt Utility Services, LLC (“HUS”), a subsidiary of Hunt. Under the management agreement, HUS will provide specified personnel and manage certain aspects of the operation of New EFH, Reorganized EFIH, and PropCo, all subject to oversight by the board of directors of New EFH, Reorganized EFIH, and PropCo, as applicable. The precise extent of HUS’s activities with respect to New EFH, Reorganized EFIH, and PropCo has not yet been determined.

The REIT Reorganization is intended to result in New EFH and its subsidiaries being organized as an umbrella partnership REIT, or “UPREIT,” with (a) New EFH qualifying as a REIT; (b) Reorganized EFIH serving as the operating partnership (following the issuance of Reorganized EFIH Membership Interests to OV2); and (c) PropCo continuing to own the Qualified Assets and certain other assets as discussed above, all in a manner that meets the highly technical tax rules in the IRC and related regulations necessary to preserve New EFH’s qualification for taxation as a REIT. Certain of those considerations are discussed below.

 

  2. General REIT Considerations.

In any year in which REITCo qualifies for taxation as a REIT and has a valid REIT election in place, REITCo will claim deductions for the dividends REITCo pays to Holders of REITCo stock. As a result, REITCo will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on that portion of REITCo’s REIT taxable income or capital gain which is currently distributed to such Holders. REITCo will, however, be subject to U.S. federal income tax at normal corporate rates on any REIT taxable income or capital gain not distributed. Moreover, even if REITCo qualifies as a REIT, REITCo nonetheless would be subject to U.S. federal tax in certain circumstances, including:

 

  i. REITCo may elect to retain and pay income tax on its net long-term capital gain. In that case, a Holder of REITCo Interests would include its proportionate share of undistributed long-term capital gain (to the extent REITCo makes a timely designation of such gain to the Holder) in such Holder’s income, such Holder would be deemed to have paid the tax that REITCo paid on such gain, and such Holder would be allowed a credit for its proportionate share of the tax deemed to have been paid, and an adjustment would be made to increase its basis in the REITCo Interests.

 

  ii. REITCo may be subject to the alternative minimum tax.

 

  iii. If REITCo has net income from prohibited transactions, such income will be subject to a 100% tax. “Prohibited transactions” are, in general, sales or other dispositions of property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, rather than for investment, other than foreclosure property.

 

88  The exact amount of taxable gain will depend on, among other things, the final structure of the REIT Reorganization and the treatment of Oncor’s minority owners. The Debtors do not expect that the final amount of taxable gain will be materially different under any of the REIT Reorganization alternatives under consideration.

 

202


  iv. If REITCo fails to satisfy the 75% Gross Income Test or the 95% Gross Income Test (each discussed below), due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect, but nonetheless maintains its qualification for taxation as a REIT because of specified cure provisions, REITCo will be subject to a 100% tax on an amount equal to (1) the greater of (A) the amount by which REITCo fails the 75% Gross Income Test or (B) the amount by which REITCo fails the 95% Gross Income Test, as applicable, multiplied by (2) a fraction intended to reflect REITCo’s profitability.

 

  v. If REITCo fails to satisfy any of the Asset Tests (as described below), other than specified de minimis failures, but REITCo’s failure is due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect and REITCo nonetheless maintains its qualification for taxation as a REIT because of specified cure provisions, REITCo will be required to pay a tax equal to the greater of $50,000 or 35% of the net income generated by the nonqualifying assets during the period in which REITCo failed to satisfy the Asset Tests.

 

  vi. If REITCo fails to satisfy other REIT qualification requirements (other than a Gross Income Test or Asset Test) due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect, REITCo may retain its qualification for taxation as a REIT, but REITCo will be required to pay a penalty of $50,000 for each such failure.

 

  vii. If REITCo fails to distribute for any calendar year at least the sum of (1) 85% of its REIT ordinary income for such year, (2) 95% of its REIT capital gain net income for such year, and (3) any undistributed taxable income from prior periods, REITCo will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the excess of such required distributions over the sum of (A) the amounts actually distributed (taking into account excess distributions from prior years) plus (B) retained amounts on which federal income tax is paid at the corporate level.

 

  viii. REITCo may be required to pay penalties to the IRS in certain circumstances, including if REITCo fails to meet record-keeping requirements intended to monitor REITCo’s compliance with rules relating to the composition of REITCo’s stockholders.

 

  ix. If REITCo acquires appreciated assets from a C corporation (i.e., a corporation generally subject to corporate income tax) in a transaction in which the adjusted tax basis of the assets in REITCo’s hands is determined by reference to the adjusted tax basis of the assets in the hands of the C corporation, REITCo may be subject to tax on such appreciation at the highest corporate income tax rate then applicable if REITCo subsequently recognizes gain on a disposition of such assets during the 10-year period following their acquisition from the C corporation. The results described in this paragraph would not apply if the non-REIT corporation elects, in lieu of this treatment, to be subject to an immediate tax when the asset is acquired by REITCo.

 

  x. REITCo may have subsidiaries or own interests in other lower-tier entities that are C corporations, such as TRSs, the earnings of which would be subject to federal corporate income tax. In addition, a 100% tax may be imposed on some items of income and expense that are directly or constructively paid between REITCo, PropCo, or a TRS if and to the extent that the IRS successfully adjusts the reported amounts of such items.

 

  3. General REIT Qualification Tests.

The IRC generally defines a REIT as a corporation, trust, or association:

 

  i. that elects to be taxed as a REIT;

 

  ii. that is managed by one or more trustees or directors;

 

203


  iii. the beneficial ownership of which is evidenced by transferable shares or by transferable certificates of beneficial interest;

 

  iv. that would be taxable as a domestic corporation but for its election to be taxed as a REIT;

 

  v. that is neither a financial institution nor an insurance company;

 

  vi. that meets the gross income, asset, and annual distribution requirements;

 

  vii. the beneficial ownership of which is held by 100 or more persons on at least 335 days in each full taxable year, proportionately adjusted for a partial taxable year; and

 

  viii. generally in which, at any time during the last half of each taxable year, no more than 50% in value of the outstanding stock is owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals or entities treated as individuals for this purpose.

Conditions (i) through (vi) must be met during each taxable year for which REIT status is sought. Conditions (vii) and (viii) do not have to be met until the year after the first taxable year for which a REIT election is made.

 

  4. Share Ownership Test.

REITCo’s common stock and any other stock REITCo issues must be held by a minimum of 100 persons (determined without attribution to the owners of any entity owning REITCo stock) for at least 335 days in each full taxable year, proportionately adjusted for partial taxable years. In addition, at all times during the second half of each taxable year, no more than 50% in value of REITCo stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (determined with attribution to the owners of any entity owning REITCo stock). As noted above, these share ownership tests do not apply until after the first taxable year for which REITCo elects REIT status. These share ownership restrictions are applied with respect to complex constructive ownership rules that may cause shares of stock owned directly or constructively by a group of related individuals or entities to be constructively owned by one individual or entity.

To help comply with these requirements, REITCo’s charter will restrict the transfer of REITCo stock that would otherwise result in concentrated ownership positions. Moreover, the terms of any options that may be granted to any management, independent directors, or other person will contain provisions that prevent such options and such persons from causing a violation of these ownership restrictions. REITCo’s charter will also contain provisions requiring each holder of REITCo’s shares to disclose, upon demand, constructive or beneficial ownership of shares as deemed necessary to comply with the requirements of the IRC. Furthermore, stockholders failing or refusing to comply with REITCo’s disclosure request will be required by Treasury regulations to submit a statement with its federal income tax return disclosing its actual ownership of REITCo shares and other information.

 

  5. Subsidiary Entities.

REITs frequently own and operate their real estate assets indirectly through ownership of an operating partnership (a so-called “UPREIT” structure). In an UPREIT structure, certain parties own REIT stock, while other parties own partnership interests in the operating partnership. The operating partnership would either act as PropCo or own PropCo (which would itself either be a partnership or a disregarded entity).The Plan anticipates that an UPREIT structure will be utilized. REITCo would be deemed to own a proportionate share of the assets of PropCo, and REITCo would, in an UPREIT structure, be allocated a proportionate share of each item of gross income from PropCo, each based on REITCo’s ownership percentage of the operating partnership. A partnership is not subject to U.S. federal income tax and instead allocates its tax attributes to its partners. The partners are subject to U.S. federal income tax on their allocable share of the income and gain, without regard to whether they receive distributions from the partnership. Each partner’s share of a partnership’s tax attributes is determined in accordance with the limited partnership agreement.

 

204


A REIT may own one or more TRSs. A TRS is a separately-taxable entity that can perform certain services or activities that a REIT cannot otherwise perform.89 Additionally, in the context of a tax-free spin-off of a REIT, a TRS may be used to own the assets and perform the activities that will satisfy the REIT’s “active trade or business” requirement.

A qualified REIT subsidiary (a “QRS”) is a corporation that is wholly owned by a REIT and is not a TRS. For purposes of the Asset and Gross Income Tests described below, all assets, liabilities, and tax attributes of a QRS are treated as belonging to the REIT. A QRS is not subject to U.S. federal income tax, but may be subject to state or local tax. At this time, it is uncertain whether REITCo would own any QRS.

 

  6. Asset Tests.

At the close of each calendar quarter of each taxable year, REITCo will need to satisfy a series of tests based on the composition of REITCo’s assets (the “Asset Tests”). After initially meeting the Asset Tests at the close of any quarter, REITCo generally will not lose its qualification for taxation as a REIT for failure to satisfy the Asset Tests at the end of a later quarter solely due to changes in the value of REITCo’s assets. In addition, if the failure to satisfy the Asset Tests results from an acquisition during a quarter, the failure can be cured by disposing of non-qualifying assets within 30 days after the close of that quarter. REITCo will maintain adequate records of the value of REITCo’s assets to ensure compliance with these tests and will act within 30 days after the close of any quarter as may be required to cure any noncompliance.

At least 75% of the value of REITCo’s assets will need to be represented by “real estate assets,” cash, cash items (including receivables), and government securities (the “75% Asset Test”). Real estate assets include (a) real property (including interests in real property and interests in mortgages on real property), (b) shares in other qualifying REITs, and (c) any stock or debt instrument (not otherwise a real estate asset) attributable to the temporary investment of “new capital,” but only for the one-year period beginning on the date REITCo receives the new capital. Property will qualify as being attributable to the temporary investment of new capital if the money used to purchase the stock or debt instrument is received in exchange for REITCo stock or in a public offering of debt obligations that have a maturity of at least five years.

The IRS has previously given a private letter ruling to the predecessor to InfraREIT, a publicly-traded electricity transmission and distribution REIT, confirming that InfraREIT’s electricity transmission and distribution assets qualified as real estate assets. Although a taxpayer cannot rely on a private letter ruling granted to a different party, the InfraREIT private letter ruling is still a helpful view on the IRS’s potential treatment of certain of Oncor’s assets. Notwithstanding the InfraREIT private letter ruling, however, there is uncertainty with respect to the treatment of certain of Oncor’s assets under the applicable REIT asset and income tests.

A REIT cannot own securities of any one issuer representing more than 5% of the total value of the REIT’s assets or more than 10% of the outstanding securities, by vote or value, of any one issuer. Securities of a TRS are excepted from the 5% and 10% vote and value limitations on a REIT’s ownership of securities of a single issuer. However, no more than 25% of the value of a REIT’s assets may be represented by securities of one or more TRSs. A REIT will not lose its REIT status for failing to satisfy these 5% or 10% Asset Tests in a quarter if the failure is due to the ownership of assets the total value of which does not exceed the lesser of (a) 1% of the total value of the REIT’s assets at the end of the quarter for which the measurement is done, or (b) $10 million; provided in either case that the REIT either disposes of the assets within six months after the last day of the quarter in which the REIT identifies the failure (or such other time period prescribed by the Treasury), or otherwise meets the requirements of those rules by the end of that period. If the failure exceeds the de minimis threshold described above, then the REIT still would be deemed to have satisfied the requirements if (i) following the REIT’s identification of the failure, the REIT files a schedule with a description of each asset that caused the failure, in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Treasury; (ii) the failure was due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect; (iii) the REIT disposes of the assets within six months after the last day of the quarter in which the identification occurred or such other time period as is prescribed by the Treasury (or the requirements of the rules are otherwise met within that period); and (d) the REIT pays a tax on the failure equal to the greater of (x) $50,000, or (y) an amount determined (under regulations) by multiplying (A) the highest rate of tax for corporations under section 11 of the IRC, by (B) the net income generated by the assets for the period beginning on the first date of the failure and ending on the date the REIT has disposed of the assets (or otherwise satisfies the requirements).

 

89  Certain additional requirements and considerations apply to investments in TRSs that are not discussed here.

 

205


  7. Gross Income Tests.

For each calendar year, REITCo will be required to satisfy two separate tests based on the composition of REITCo’s gross income, as defined under REITCo’s method of accounting (the “Gross Income Tests”). If REITCo fails to satisfy either of the Gross Income Tests discussed below for any taxable year, REITCo may retain its qualification for taxation as a REIT for such year if: (i) the failure was due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect, (ii) REITCo attaches to its return a schedule describing the nature and amount of each item of REITCo’s gross income, and (iii) any incorrect information on such schedule was not due to fraud with intent to evade U.S. federal income tax. If this relief provision is available, REITCo would be subject to tax equal to the greater of the amount by which REITCo failed the 75% Gross Income Test or the 95% Gross Income Test, as applicable, multiplied by a fraction intended to reflect REITCo’s profitability.

 

  (a) The 75% Gross Income Test.

At least 75% of REITCo’s gross income for the taxable year (excluding gross income from prohibited transactions and specified hedging transactions and cancelation of indebtedness income) must result from (i) rents from real property, (ii) interest on obligations secured by mortgages on real property or on interests in real property, (iii) gains from the sale or other disposition of real property (including interests in real property and interests in mortgages on real property) other than property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of REITCo’s trade or business, (iv) dividends from other qualifying REITs and gain (other than gain from prohibited transactions) from the sale of shares of other qualifying REITs, (v) other specified investments relating to real property or mortgages thereon, and (vi) income attributable to stock or a debt investment that is attributable to a temporary investment of new capital (as described under the 75% Asset Test above) received or earned during the one-year period beginning on the date such new capital is received (the “75% Gross Income Test”).

Income attributable to a lease of real property will generally qualify as “rents from real property” under the 75% Gross Income Test (and the 95% Gross Income Test described below), subject to the rules discussed below. Rent from a particular tenant will not qualify if REITCo, or an owner of 10% or more of REITCo’s stock, directly or indirectly, owns 10% or more of the voting stock or the total number of shares of all classes of stock in, or 10% or more of the assets or net profits of, the tenant (subject to specified exceptions). The portion of rent attributable to personal property rented in connection with real property will not qualify, unless the portion attributable to personal property is 15% or less of the total rent received under, or in connection with, the lease. Generally, rent will not qualify as “rents from real property” if it is based in whole, or in part, on the income or profits of any person from the underlying property. However, rent will not fail to qualify as “rents from real property” if it is based on a fixed percentage (or designated varying percentages) of gross receipts or sales, including amounts above a base amount so long as the base amount is fixed at the time the lease is entered into, the provisions are in accordance with normal business practice and the arrangement is not an indirect method for basing rent on income or profits. In addition, the Debtors anticipate that, with respect to REITCo’s leasing activities, REITCo will not (a) charge rent for any property that is based in whole or in part on the income or profits of any person (except by reason of being based on a percentage of receipts or sales, as described above) (b) charge rent that will be attributable to personal property in an amount greater than 15% of the total rent received under the applicable lease, or (c) enter into any lease with a related party tenant.90

Rental income will not qualify if REITCo furnishes or renders services to tenants or manages or operates the underlying property, other than through a permissible “independent contractor” from whom REITCo derives no revenue, or through a TRS. This requirement, however, does not apply to the extent that the services, management or operations provided by REITCo are “usually or customarily rendered” in connection with the rental of space, and are not otherwise considered “rendered to the occupant.” If the total amount of REITCo’s “impermissible tenant service income” from non-customary services exceeds 1% of REITCo’s total income from a property, then all of the income from that property will fail to qualify as rents from real property. If the total amount of impermissible tenant service income from a property does not exceed 1% of REITCo’s total income from the property, the services will

 

90 

Certain additional restrictions apply with respect to amounts received from a TRS.

 

206


not “taint” the other income from the property (that is, it will not cause the rent paid to REITCo by tenants of that property to fail to qualify as rents from real property), but impermissible tenant service income will not qualify as rents from real property.

All interest income qualifies under the 95% Gross Income Test, and interest on loans secured by real property qualifies under the 75% Gross Income Test, provided in both cases, that the interest does not depend, in whole or in part, on the income or profits of any person (other than amounts based on a fixed percentage of receipts or sales). If a loan is secured by both real property and other property, all the interest on it will nevertheless qualify under the 75% Gross Income Test if the amount of the loan does not exceed the fair market value of the real property at the time REITCo commits to make or acquire the loan.

In order for the rent paid pursuant to leases (if any) to constitute “rents from real property,” the leases must be respected as true leases for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the leases cannot be treated as service contracts, joint ventures or some other type of arrangement. The determination of whether the leases are true leases for federal income tax purposes depends upon an analysis of all the surrounding facts and circumstances. In making such a determination, courts have considered a variety of factors, including the following:

 

  i. the intent of the parties;

 

  ii. the form of the agreement;

 

  iii. the degree of control over the property that is retained by the property owner (e.g., whether the lessee has substantial control over the operation of the property or whether the lessee was required simply to use its best efforts to perform its obligations under the agreement); and

 

  iv. the extent to which the property owner retains the risk of loss with respect to the property (e.g., whether the lessee bears the risk of increases in operating expenses or the risk of damage to the property) or the potential for economic gain (e.g., appreciation) with respect to the property.

In addition, section 7701(e) of the IRC provides that a contract that purports to be a service contract or a partnership agreement is treated instead as a lease of property if the contract is properly treated as such, taking into account all relevant factors. Since the determination of whether a service contract should be treated as a lease is inherently factual, the presence or absence of any single factor may not be dispositive in every case.

As noted above, REITCo (through PropCo) will enter into a lease agreement with newly-created OpCo. Pursuant to that lease, OpCo would operate PropCo’s assets (other than assets necessary to satisfy the “active trade or business” requirement of section 355 of the IRC with respect to the TCEH Spin-Off). Such a lease would be structured with the intent to qualify as a true lease for federal income tax purposes. For example:

 

  i. the lessee will have the right to exclusive possession and use and quiet enjoyment of the properties covered by the lease during the term of the lease;

 

  ii. the lessee will bear the cost of, and will be responsible for, day-to-day maintenance and repair of the properties, and will generally control how the properties will be operated and maintained;

 

  iii. the lessee will bear all of the costs and expenses of operating the properties, including the cost of any inventory used in the lessees’ operation, during the term of the lease, with some limited exceptions;

 

  iv. the lessee will benefit from any savings and will bear the burdens of any increases in the costs of operating the properties during the term of the lease;

 

207


  v. the lessee will be at economic risk due to damage to the properties because income from operations may be lost, subject to specified terminations rights (and the potential ability to recover from insurance proceeds, with such insurance policies to be procured by the lessee);

 

  vi. the lessee will have indemnification obligations to PropCo;

 

  vii. the lessee will be obligated to pay, at a minimum, substantial base rent for the period of use of the properties under the lease;

 

  viii. the lessee will stand to incur substantial losses or reap substantial gains depending on how successfully the properties are operated;

 

  ix. each lease entered into by PropCo, at the time entered into (or at any time that any such lease is subsequently renewed or extended) will enable the lessees to derive a meaningful profit, after expenses and taking into account the risks associated with the lease, from the operation of the properties during the term of the leases; and

 

  x. upon termination of each lease, the applicable property will be expected to have a substantial remaining useful life and substantial remaining fair market value.

The analysis of whether a lease is a true lease for U.S. federal income tax purposes is inherently factual. If the lease agreements were characterized as services contracts or partnership agreements, rather than as true leases, or disregarded altogether for tax purposes, part or all of the payments that REITCo and its subsidiaries receive may not be considered rent or may not otherwise satisfy the various requirements for qualification as “rents from real property.” In that case, REITCo would not be able to satisfy the Gross Income Tests and, as a result, would lose its qualification for taxation as a REIT unless specified cure provisions apply.

As indicated above, “rents from real property” must not be based in whole or in part on the income or profits of any person. The lease agreements entered into between OpCo and REITCo or REITCo’s subsidiaries may provide for periodic payments of a specified base rent plus, to the extent that it exceeds the base rent, additional rent which is calculated based upon gross sales, plus specified other amounts. Payments made pursuant to these leases should qualify as “rents from real property” since they are generally based on either fixed dollar amounts or on specified percentages of gross sales fixed at the time the leases were entered into. The foregoing assumes that the leases have not been and will not be renegotiated during their term in a manner that has the effect of basing either the percentage rent or base rent on income or profits. The foregoing also assumes that the leases are not in reality used as a means of basing rent on income or profits. More generally, the rent payable under the leases will not qualify as “rents from real property” if, considering the leases and all the surrounding circumstances, the arrangement does not conform with normal business practice. The Debtors intend that REITCo will not renegotiate the percentages used to determine the percentage rent during the terms of the leases in a manner that has had or will have the effect of basing rent on income or profits. In addition, the Debtors intend that rental provisions and other terms of the leases will conform with normal business practice and will not be used as a means of basing rent on income or profits. Furthermore, with respect to properties that REITCo acquires in the future, the Debtors anticipate that no rent for any property will be charged that is based in whole or in part on the income or profits of any person, except by reason of being based on a fixed percentage of gross revenues, as described above.

 

  (b) The 95% Gross Income Test.

In addition to deriving 75% of its gross income from the sources listed above, at least 95% of REITCo’s gross income (excluding gross income from prohibited transactions and certain hedging transactions and cancelation of indebtedness income) for the taxable year must be derived from (i) sources which satisfy the 75% Gross Income Test, (ii) dividends, (iii) interest, or (iv) gain from the sale or disposition of stock or other securities that are not assets held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of REITCo’s trade or business (the “95% Gross Income Test”). The Debtors intend that REITCo will invest funds not otherwise invested in properties in cash sources or other liquid investments which will allow REITCo to satisfy the 95% Gross Income Test.

 

208


REITCo’s share of income from the properties will primarily give rise to rental income and gains on sales of the properties, substantially all of which will generally qualify under the 75% Gross Income and 95% Gross Income Tests. REITCo’s anticipated operations indicate that it is likely that it will have little or no non-qualifying income. As described above, REITCo may establish one or more TRSs. The gross income generated by these TRSs would not be included in REITCo’s gross income. Any dividends from TRSs to REITCo would be included in REITCo’s gross income and satisfy for the 95% Gross Income Test.

The IRC provides that any “earnings and profits” (as defined in the IRC) (“E&P”) attributable to a non-REIT year must be distributed by the end of the first year that an entity elects to be taxed as a REIT (the “E&P Purging Dividend”). The EFH Group is expected to have consolidated E&P of more than $25 billion after accounting for historic operations and E&P arising from the transactions contemplated by the Plan (including cancelation of indebtedness income). The consolidated E&P must be allocated between EFH Corp. and Reorganized TCEH as part of the TCEH Spin-Off. However, the amount of E&P that will be allocated to EFH Corp. (and, therefore, subject to the E&P Purging Dividend requirement) is uncertain. The Debtors’ Private Letter Ruling request seeks a ruling on the allocation of E&P between EFH Corp. and Reorganized TCEH.91

It is common in REIT conversions to pay E&P Purging Dividends partially in the form of a taxable stock dividend. The Debtors anticipate that Holders of REITCo Interests would be entitled to elect to receive up to 20% of the E&P Purging Dividend in cash. Regardless of any Holder’s election and the amount of cash that is included in the E&P Purging Dividend, the full E&P Purging Dividend would be taxable to Holders of REITCo Interests. As of the date hereof, the Debtors have not determined whether the E&P Purging Dividend will be paid on the Effective Date or later during REITCo’s first taxable year as a REIT. In general, the E&P Purging Dividend, unlike dividends of REIT taxable income, should qualify as “qualified dividends” under the IRC and, therefore, be subject to comparatively more favorable tax rates.

 

  b. Annual Distribution Requirements.

REITCo will be required to distribute dividends (other than capital gain dividends) to Holders of REITCo Interests each year in an amount at least equal to the excess of: (i) the sum of: (A) 90% of REITCo’s REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and by excluding any net capital gain); and (B) 90% of the net income (after tax) from foreclosure property; over (ii) the sum of some types of items of non-cash income. Whether sufficient amounts have been distributed is based on amounts paid in the taxable year to which they relate, or in the following taxable year if REITCo: (1) declares a dividend before the due date of REITCo’s tax return (including extensions); (2) distributes the dividend within the 12-month period following the close of the taxable year (and not later than the date of the first regular dividend payment made after such declaration); and (3) files an election with REITCo’s tax return. Additionally, dividends that REITCo declares in October, November or December in a given year payable to stockholders of record in any such month will be treated as having been paid on December 31 of that year so long as the dividends are actually paid during January of the following year.

In order for REITCo’s distributions to be counted as satisfying the annual distribution requirements for REITs, and to provide REITCo with a REIT-level tax deduction for dividends paid, the distributions must not be “preferential dividends.” A dividend is not a preferential dividend if the distribution is (1) pro rata among all outstanding shares of stock within a particular class, and (2) in accordance with the preferences among different classes of stock as set forth in REITCo’s organizational documents.

 

91  As a technical matter, the requested ruling applies to E&P that exists at the moment the TCEH Spin-Off occurs. Additional E&P may be generated pursuant to the transactions contemplated under the Plan that will not be subject to allocation between EFH Corp. and Reorganized TCEH and, instead, will be allocated in full to EFH Corp.

 

209


If REITCo fails to meet the annual distribution requirements as a result of an adjustment to REITCo’s U.S. federal income tax return by the IRS, or under certain other circumstances, REITCo may be permitted to cure the failure by paying a “deficiency dividend” (plus penalties and interest to the IRS) within a specified period.

In the event REITCo does not have sufficient cash in a particular year (or elects to retain such cash) to satisfy REITCo’s annual distribution requirements, REITCo may elect to borrow cash to fund such distributions. Alternatively, REITCo may elect to utilize taxable stock dividends (or consent dividends, in the event sufficient consent can be obtained) to satisfy its annual distribution requirements. If taxable stock dividends or consent dividends are utilized, regardless of the amount of cash that is included in such dividend, the full amount of such dividend will be taxable to Holders of REITCo stock.

 

  9. Failure to Qualify.

If REITCo fails to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any taxable year, REITCo may be eligible for relief provisions if the failures are due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect and if a penalty tax is paid with respect to each failure to satisfy the applicable requirements. If the applicable relief provisions are not available or cannot be met, REITCo will not be able to deduct REITCo’s dividends and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on REITCo’s taxable income at regular corporate rates, thereby reducing cash available for distributions and potentially having other materially adverse effects on REITCo’s finances. In such event, to the extent of current and accumulated earnings and profits, all distributions to stockholders will be taxable as ordinary dividends, and subject to limitations in the IRC, corporate distributees may be eligible for the dividends-received deduction. Unless entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions, REITCo also would be disqualified from reelecting taxation as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost.

In the event that REITCo fails to satisfy one or more requirements for qualification for taxation as a REIT, other than the Gross Income Tests and the Asset Tests, each of which is subject to the cure provisions described above, REITCo will retain its REIT qualification if (a) the violation is due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect and (b) REITCo pays a penalty of $50,000 for each failure to satisfy the requirement.

 

  10. Prohibited Transactions.

REITCo will be subject to a 100% U.S. federal income tax on any net income derived from “prohibited transactions” related to sales or exchanges of property held for sale to customers in the ordinary course of REITCo’s business which is not foreclosure property. The Debtors do not intend that REITCo would engage in prohibited transactions.

 

  11. Tax on Built-In Gain.

If REITCo (directly or indirectly through PropCo) disposes of any assets with “built-in gain” at the time REITCo becomes a REIT (or acquires assets in tax-deferred transactions), REITCo may be subject to a built-in gain tax if such assets are disposed of during the ten-year period following the acquisition of the assets from the respective C corporation (i.e., during the ten-year period following ownership of such assets by a REIT) pursuant to the Plan or otherwise. Any tax on the recognized built-in gain will reduce REIT taxable income. REITCo may choose to forego otherwise attractive opportunities to sell assets in a taxable transaction during the ten-year built-in gain recognition period in order to avoid this built-in gain tax. However, there can be no assurance that such a taxable transaction will not occur. The amount of any such built-in gain tax could be material and the resulting tax liability could have a negative effect on REITCo’s cash flow and limit REITCo’s ability to pay distributions required to maintain its qualification for taxation as a REIT (or cause REITCo to pay such distributions partially in kind, as discussed above).

 

210


  12. Taxation of U.S. Holders of REITCo Stock.92

As long as REITCo qualifies as a REIT, distributions paid to U.S. Holders of REITCo stock out of current or accumulated earnings and profits (and not designated as capital gain dividends) will generally be ordinary income and generally will not be “qualified dividends” in the case of non-corporate U.S. Holders of REITCo stock and will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction in the case of corporate U.S. Holders of REITCo stock. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits are treated first as a tax-deferred return of capital to the stockholder, reducing the stockholder’s tax basis in his or her common stock by the amount of such distribution, and then as capital gain.

Because REITCo’s E&P is reduced for depreciation and other non-cash items, it is possible that a portion of each distribution will constitute a tax-deferred return of capital. Additionally, because distributions in excess of earnings and profits reduce a Holder’s basis in REITCo stock, this will increase a Holder’s gain on any subsequent sale of REITCo stock. Distributions that are designated as capital gain dividends will be taxed as long-term capital gains to the extent they do not exceed REITCo’s actual net capital gain for the taxable year, without regard to the period for which the Holder that receives such distribution has held its stock. Corporate Holders may be required to treat up to 20% of some types of capital gain dividends as ordinary income. Additionally, REITCo may also decide to retain, rather than distribute, REITCo’s net long-term capital gains and pay any tax thereon. In such instances, Holders would include their proportionate shares of such gains in income, receive a credit on their returns for their proportionate share of REITCo tax payments, and increase the tax basis of their shares of stock by the after-tax amount of such gain.

Dividend income is characterized as “portfolio” income under the passive loss rules and cannot be offset by a stockholder’s current or suspended passive losses. Although stockholders generally recognize taxable income in the year that a distribution is received, any distribution REITCo declares in October, November or December of any year that is payable to a Holder of record on a specific date in any such month will be treated as both paid by REITCo and received by the Holder on December 31 of the year it was declared if paid by REITCo during January of the following calendar year.

Because REITCo is not a pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, Holders may not use REITCo’s operating or capital losses to reduce their tax liabilities. As discussed above, in certain circumstances, REITCo may have the ability to declare a large portion of a dividend in REITCo stock. Moreover, the E&P Purging Dividend will likely be approximately 20% cash, 80% stock. In such a case, a Holder would be taxed on 100% of the dividend in the same manner as a cash dividend, even though most of the dividend was paid in shares of REITCo stock. In general, the sale of REITCo stock held for more than 12 months will produce long-term capital gain or loss. All other sales will produce short-term gain or loss. In each case, the gain or loss is equal to the difference between the amount of cash and fair market value of any property received from the sale and the stockholder’s basis in the common stock sold. However, any loss from a sale or exchange of common stock by a Holder who has held such stock for six months or less generally will be treated as a long-term capital loss, to the extent that the Holder treated REITCo distributions as long-term capital gains. REITCo will report to U.S. Holders and to the IRS the amount of dividends paid during each calendar year, and the amount (if any) of U.S. federal income tax REITCo withholds.

 

E. Withholding and Reporting.

The Debtors will withhold all amounts required by law to be withheld from payments made pursuant to the Plan. The Debtors will comply with all applicable reporting requirements of the IRC. In general, information reporting requirements may apply to distributions or payments made to a Holder of a Claim. Additionally, backup withholding, currently at a rate of 28%, generally will apply to such payments unless such U.S. Holder provides a properly executed IRS Form W-9 or otherwise establishes an exemption. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a credit against such U.S. Holder’s federal income tax liability and may entitle such U.S. Holder to a refund from the IRS, provided that the required information is timely provided to the IRS.

 

92  As discussed above, parties may receive interests in the partnership entity rather than common stock of REITCo. The consequences to Holders of such partnership interests are not discussed in this summary.

 

211


In addition, from an information reporting perspective, U.S. Treasury Regulations generally require disclosure by a taxpayer on its U.S. federal income tax return of certain types of transactions in which the taxpayer participated, including, among other types of transactions, certain transactions that result in the taxpayer’s claiming a loss in excess of specified thresholds. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding these regulations and whether the transactions contemplated by the Plan would be subject to these regulations and require disclosure on the Holders’ tax returns.

THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN ARE COMPLEX. THE FOREGOING SUMMARY DOES NOT DISCUSS ALL ASPECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAXATION THAT MAY BE RELEVANT TO A PARTICULAR HOLDER IN LIGHT OF SUCH HOLDER’S CIRCUMSTANCES AND INCOME TAX SITUATION. ALL HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS ARE URGED TO CONSULT WITH THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THE PLAN, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, OR NON-U.S. TAX LAWS, AND OF ANY CHANGE IN APPLICABLE TAX LAWS.

 

212


XI. Recommendation of the Debtors

In the opinion of the Debtors, the Plan is preferable to the alternatives described in this Disclosure Statement because it provides for a larger distribution to the Debtors’ creditors and other parties in interest than would otherwise result in a liquidation under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. In addition, any alternative other than Confirmation could result in extensive delays and increased administrative expenses resulting in smaller distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests than proposed under the Plan. Accordingly, the Debtors recommend that Holders of Claims and Interests entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan support Confirmation and vote to accept the Plan.
