DEBTOR IN POSSESSION’S APPLICATION FOR AN ORDER
(A) CONDITIONALLY APPROVING THE PLAN AS THE DISCLOSURE
STATEMENT, AND (B) PROVIDING A SCHEDULE FOR CONFIRMATION
 
The above-captioned debtor and debtor-in-possession (the “Debtor”) in this small business case files this application (the “Motion”) seeking entry of an order, pursuant to section 1125(f)(1) of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) and Rules 3016 and 3017.1 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the “Bankruptcy Rules”)  (the “Scheduling Order”), conditionally approving the Debtor’s proposed plan of reorganization (the “Plan”), which is annexed hereto as Exhibit A, as its disclosure statement, and setting a schedule for confirmation of the Plan.  In support of this Motion, the Debtor states as follows:
 
INTRODUCTION
 
The Debtor is a small business debtor as that term is defined in section 101(51D) of the Bankruptcy Code.  On the date of the order for relief herein, the Debtor had “aggregate non-contingent liquidated secured and unsecured debts … in an amount not more than $2,000,000 (excluding debts owed to 1 or more affiliates or insiders”.  11 U.S.C. § 101(51D).
 
No trustee or committee has been appointed, and the Debtor is not a person whose primary business activity is owning or operating real property.
 
The Debtor files this Motion to utilize the streamlined procedure for solicitation of acceptances or rejections to its Plan which is provided for in section 1125(f)(1) which states:

 
 

 
 
Notwithstanding subsection (b), in a small business case—
 
(1)  The court may determine that the plan itself provides adequate information and that a disclosure statement is not necessary.
 
To implement section 1125(f)(1), Bankruptcy Rule 3016 states in pertinent part:
 
[I]f the Plan is intended to provide adequate information under section 1125(f)(1), it shall be so designated and Rule 3017.1 shall apply as if the plan is a disclosure statement.
 
Fed.R.Bank.P. 3016.
 
Bankruptcy Rule 3017.1(a) provides for conditional approval of the disclosure statement in a small business case.  It permits the court on application or on its own initiative to conditionally approve a disclosure statement and at the same time fix dates for voting on a plan, for filing objections to the disclosure statement and for a hearing on final approval of the disclosure statement.   Rule 3017.1(c) further provides that: Bankruptcy Rule 2002 governs notice; objections must be filed, transmitted to the United States Trustee and served on the debtor, the trustee, any statutory committee and any other entity designated by the court at any time fixed by the court; and upon the filing of timely objection to the disclosure statement, the court shall hold a hearing thereon before or combined with the hearing on confirmation.
 
THE PLAN PROVIDES ADEQUATE INFORMATION
 
As set forth in the Introduction to the Plan, the Debtor is emerging from bankruptcy to continue its business.  To finance this process, the Debtor’s Plan Funder has agreed to infuse the Debtor with $1,000,000 in capital, in exchange for 90% of the equity in the Reorganized Debtor.
 
 
 

 
 
Plan Provisions

The Plan itself is straightforward and provides adequate information.  Unsecured creditors are to receive a 90% distribution on account of the principal amount of their Allowed Claims which total approximately $209,000 as scheduled and filed.  As a class, the Plan declares them to be impaired and solicits their votes.  The holders of common stock in the Debtor receive their pro rata share of the 10% of equity in the Reorganized Debtor that is not allocated to the Plan Funder.  As a class, the Plan declares them to be impaired and solicits their votes.  The holders of convertible securities of the Debtor (i.e. warrants or options) will receive no distribution, and are impaired, and thus, deem to have rejected the Plan.  Thus, the classes actually voting on the Plan are those consisting of the unsecured creditors, and the common stock holders, with the exclusion of the insiders who hold equity, whose votes will not be counted.
 
Plan Term Sheet
 
The term sheet entered into with the Plan Funder (the “Plan Term Sheet”) contemplates confirmation of the Plan no later than May 15, 2009.  A true and correct copy of the Plan Term Sheet is annexed hereto as Exhibit B.  The Debtor has made a separate motion for approval of the Plan Term Sheet.
 
The Plan Term Sheet contemplates that the Plan Funder will contribute $1,000,0001 (the “Plan Funding Amount”) in capital to the Reorganized Debtor upon confirmation of the Plan.
 
Additionally, the Plan Term Sheet contains a number of provisions which will become effective if, and only if, the Plan is not confirmed. Pursuant to the Plan Term Sheet, if prior to confirmation of the Plan, Debtor elects to enter into an alternative transaction, including, but not limited to, signing a letter of intent or term sheet with a third party, for some or all of its assets prior to confirmation of the Plan (the “Debtor Withdrawal Option”), the Plan Funder is entitled to receive a break-up fee of 3% of the amount of the Deposit funded at that point in time.
 

1 The Plan Funding Amount will be funded in three stages: $100,000 of which was deposited upon signing of this Term Sheet (the “Initial Deposit”), $100,000 of which is due upon the later of (i) 30 days or (ii) filing of the plan and disclosure statement (the “Subsequent Deposit”) (the Initial Deposit and Subsequent Deposit are referred to collectively as the “Deposit”), and $800,000 (the “Remaining Funds”) which is due within 10 days of confirmation of the Plan (the “Funding Date”).
 
 
 

 
 
Additionally, pursuant to the Plan Term Sheet, although the Deposit is not refundable, to the extent that the Plan is not confirmed by June 15, 2009, the Plan Funder is entitled to a  return of the Subsequent Deposit, minus costs and expenses (including, without limitation, administrative expenses) incurred by the Debtor in pursuing the Plan.
 
Debtor’s Assets
 
Having already marketed the Debtor and its assets for many months prior to and subsequent to the Petition Date, it is the Debtor’s business judgment that the Plan represents the highest and best return for estate constituencies.  In the Debtor’s judgment, liquidation of the Debtor’s assets will yield far less value, as most of the assets are intellectual property, which transfer is highly restricted, and the value of which is hard to quantify but is most likely worth little on a stand-alone basis.  Any alternative sale of assets is highly unlikely to yield material proceeds, as the value of the Company resides in its hard assets, which are de minimis, and its intellectual property contracts and licenses.  Moreover, after months of marketing, the deal set forth in the Plan is the only concrete proposal for the Debtor and its assets which has materialized.  There is no secured debt and no parties have any type of lien on the Debtor’s intellectual property.
 
Thus, the Plan provides the Debtor’s unsecured creditors and interest holders with adequate information upon which to cast their votes to accept or reject the Plan.
 
THE SCHEDULE
 
Pursuant to section 1121(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, and  the Agreed Scheduling Order of this Court, the Debtor’s Plan must be filed by November 9, 2009, and confirmed 45 days thereafter.
 
 
 

 

With this Motion, the Debtor has met the filing deadline.  In order to meet the confirmation deadline set forth in the Plan Term Sheet, the Debtor requests that: (a) the hearing on confirmation be set for May 15, 2009,2 or as soon thereafter as the Court is available; (b) objection to either the adequacy of the Plan as the disclosure statement and to the Plan itself be due 4:00 p.m. May 11, 2009; (c) that votes to accept or reject the Plan be due on or before 5:00 p.m. May 11, 2009, on the official form of ballot to be sent to each creditor and interest holder entitled to vote3; and (d) that ballots for those entitled to vote on the Plan and the Plan for all creditors and parties entitled to notice be sent on or before April 23, 2009.
 
NOTICE
 
Notice of this Motion has been provided to the United States Trustee, the Debtor’s 20 largest unsecured creditors, and all parties requesting notices pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002. The Debtor submits that no other or further notice need be provided.
 
No previous motion for the relief sought herein has been made to this or any other court.
 
Remainder of Page Intentionally Left Blank.
 

2 Subject to the entry of the Scheduling Order, the Court has scheduled the confirmation hearing on May 18, 2009 at 2:00 p.m.
 
3 The official form has been modified to reflect that the Plan has been conditionally approved as the disclosure statement (the proposed ballot is attached hereto as Exhibit C).
 
 
 

 
 
WHEREFORE, the Debtor respectfully requests the entry of the Scheduling Order submitted herewith and such other and further relief as is just and proper.

THE DEBTOR IN THIS CASE IS A SMALL BUSINESS.  AS A RESULT, THE DEBTOR IS PERMITTED TO DISTRIBUTE AND HAS DISTRIBUTED THIS PLAN AS A DISCLOSURE STATEMENT TO PROVIDE YOU WITH ADEQUATE INFORMATION FOR YOU TO CAST YOUR BALLOT BEFORE ITS FINAL APPROVAL BY THE COURT.  IF AN OBJECTION TO THIS PLAN AS A DISCLOSURE STATEMENT IS FILED BY A PARTY IN INTEREST, FINAL APPROVAL OF THIS PLAN AS A DISCLOSURE STATEMENT WILL BE CONSIDERED AT OR BEFORE THE HEARING ON CONFIRMATION OF THE PLAN
 
CHAPTER 11 PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
 
Arbios Systems, Inc. (“Arbios” or “Debtor” or the “Company”) hereby proposes the following Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.
 
Under Section 1125(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Court has preliminarily approved that a vote to accept or reject this Plan can be solicited from a holder of a Claim or Equity Interest based upon this Plan alone.  ALL HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AGAINST AND EQUITY INTERESTS IN THE DEBTOR ARE ENCOURAGED TO READ THIS PLAN IN ITS ENTIRETY.  SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS AND REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH IN THIS PLAN, THE DEBTOR RESERVES THE RIGHT TO ALTER, AMEND, MODIFY, REVOKE OR WITHDRAW THIS PLAN PRIOR TO ITS SUBSTANTIAL CONSUMMATION.
 
 
 

 
 
The rules of construction set out in Section 102 of the Bankruptcy Code shall apply to the construction of the terms and provisions set forth in this Plan.
 
Ballots for acceptance or rejection of the Plan are being provided to Creditors in the Class of Claims entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan, as well as holders of Interests entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.  After carefully considering this Plan, please indicate your vote with respect to the Plan on the enclosed ballot and return such ballot before the voting deadline to Olshan Grundman Frome Rosenzweig & Wolosky LLP. Park Avenue Tower, 65 East 55th Street, New York, New York 10022, attn: Suhailah Sallie.  If you are asserting more than one Claim, please copy your ballot and return one completed ballot for each Claim.
 
You should complete and sign the enclosed ballot and return such ballot in the envelope provided.  In order to be counted, your ballot must be actually received by to Olshan Grundman Frome Rosenzweig & Wolosky LLP. Park Avenue Tower, 65 East 55th Street, New York, New York 10022, attn: Suhailah Sallie on or before May 11, 2009 (the “Voting Deadline”).  Other forms of personal delivery of ballots including overnight delivery service, courier service, and delivery by hand are acceptable.  Facsimile transmissions are not acceptable.  Electronic mail transmissions are not acceptable.  There is no need to file your Ballot with the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court.  If your ballot is damaged or lost, or if you do not receive a ballot to which you are entitled, you may request a replacement by contacting Suhailah Sallie, 212-451-2324, Olshan Grundman Frome Rosenzweig & Wolosky LLP. Park Avenue Tower, 65 East 55th Street, New York, New York 10022.
 
 
 

 

A failure to return a ballot will be deemed a vote for the Plan.  Any improperly completed or late ballot will not be counted.   Any ballot that indicates both an acceptance and rejection of the Plan will be deemed a vote to accept the Plan.  If no votes to accept or reject the Plan are received with respect to a particular class, the class will be deemed to have voted to accept the Plan.  If a creditor or interest holder casts more than one ballot voting the same Claim or Interest before the Voting Deadline, the latest-dated Ballot received before the Voting Deadline will be deemed to reflect the voter’s intent and thus to supersede any prior ballots.  Voting Classes must vote all of their Claims within a particular Class under the Plan either to accept or reject the Plan and may not split their votes within a particular Class; thus, a ballot (or a group of ballots) within a particular Class received from a single Class Member that partially rejects and partially accepts the Plan will be deemed to have voted to accept the Plan.
 
Confirmation Of The Plan.
 
Your vote on the Plan is important.  In order for the Plan to be accepted, of those Holders of Claims who cast ballots, the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) in dollar amount and more than one-half (1/2) in number of classified Claims is required.  The affirmative vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) in amount of Common Stock is required as well.
 
If certain Classes vote against the Plan, the Bankruptcy Court may still confirm the Plan if the Court finds that the Plan does not unfairly discriminate against the impaired Class or Classes voting against the Plan and accords fair and equitable treatment to those impaired Class or Classes.  The Plan Proponents intend to request such a “cramdown” confirmation if any Class does not vote in favor of the Plan.
 
 
 

 

The Bankruptcy Court has scheduled a hearing on confirmation of the Plan for May 18, 2009 at 2:00 p.m. (Eastern).  Any party in interest may object to confirmation of the Plan.  The Bankruptcy Court has directed that objections, if any, to confirmation of the Plan, be served upon: (i) Olshan Grundman Frome Rosenzweig & Wolosky LLP, counsel for the Debtor, Park Avenue Tower, 65 East 55th Street, New York, New York 10022, Attn: Andrea Fischer, Esq., (ii) Ciardi Ciardi & Astin, counsel for the Debtor, 919 N. Market Street, Suite 700, Wilmington, DE 19801, Attn: Daniel K. Astin, Esq., (iii) the United States Trustee for the District of Delaware, 844 King Street, Suite 2313, Wilmington, DE 19801, Attn. David Klauder, Esq.; and, filed with the Court on or before 4:00 p.m. on May 11, 2009, in the manner described in the order scheduling hearing on confirmation.  The Confirmation Hearing may be adjourned from time to time without further notice other than by announcement in open court of the filing of a hearing agenda.
 
Recommendations With Respect To The Plan.
 
The Plan Proponents recommend that you accept the Plan by voting your ballot accordingly and timely returning your completed ballot in the pre-printed envelope provided.
 
Disclaimer.
 
The Bankruptcy Court’s approval of this Plan does not constitute either a guaranty of the accuracy of the information contained herein or an endorsement of the Plan.  This Plan is the only document authorized by the Bankruptcy Court to be used in connection with the solicitation of votes accepting the Plan.   No representations other than those explicitly set forth in this Plan are authorized concerning the Debtor, including the value of its assets or the Claims of its creditors.
 
Safe harbor statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995:  All forward-looking statements contained herein or otherwise made by the Debtor or Plan Proponent involve material risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on numerous factors, including factors that are beyond the Debtor or Plan Proponents’ control.  Accordingly, the Debtor’s or Reorganized Debtor’s future performance and financial results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in any such forward-looking statements.  Such factors include, but are not limited to, those described in this Plan.  The Debtor does not undertake to publicly update or revise its forward-looking statements even if experience or future changes make it clear that any projected results expressed or implied therein will not be realized.
 
 
 

 
 
This Plan has been prepared pursuant to section 1125(f)(i) of the Bankruptcy Code and Rules 3016 and 3017.1 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and is not necessarily in accordance with federal or state securities laws or other similar laws. The offer of New Common Stock made hereunder to Common Stock Holders has not been registered under the Securities Act or similar state securities or “blue sky” laws.  The offers and issuances of New Common Stock to Common Stock Holders pursuant to Article IV of the Plan are being made in reliance on the exemption from registration specified in section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code.  None of the stock to be issued on the Effective Date to Common Stock Holders has been approved or disapproved by the Securities and Exchange Commission or by any state securities commission or similar public, governmental, or regulatory authority, and neither the Securities and Exchange Commission, nor any such state authority has passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of the information contained in this Plan.  Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.  Persons or entities trading in or otherwise purchasing, selling or transferring securities of the Debtor should evaluate this Plan in light of the purposes for which they were prepared.
 
Except as otherwise specifically noted, the financial information contained herein has not been audited by a certified public accountant and has not necessarily been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
 
 

 
 
All parties in interest are encouraged to read the entire Plan carefully, including the exhibits, before deciding to vote either to accept or reject the Plan.  Holders of Claims should not, however, construe the contents of this Plan as providing any legal, business, financial, or tax advice and should consult with their own advisors.
 
INTRODUCTION
 
On January 9, 2009 (the “Petition Date”), the Debtor filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”).
 
The Nature of the Debtor’s Business
 
Arbios is a publicly-held medical device company with a proprietary product candidate, SEPET™ liver assist device (“SEPET™”), that has successfully completed a Phase I/II proof-of-concept trial and has FDA agreement to proceed to a pivotal Phase III clinical trial.  Although Arbios has the requisite FDA approval, it does not currently have the funding or support necessary to initiate or complete the Phase III clinical trial.  SEPET™ is a hemofiltration device designed to support patients suffering from cirrhosis due to chronic liver disease and who are hospitalized with acute complications resulting from worsening liver dysfunction and portal hypertension.  There are currently no FDA-approved, effective treatments for patients suffering from liver failure.
 
Arbios has exclusive manufacturing agreements with recognized and well-respected manufacturers of medical products that would allow commercial scale production and economics.  Arbios plans to outsource manufacture and supply of SEPET™ through these key supply agreements with Germany based Membrana GmbH, the world’s leading independent supplier of dialysis membrane, and NxStage Medical, Inc., a U.S. based dialysis equipment provider that assembles SEPET™.
 
 
 

 
 
Due to difficulty in securing $15 million to fund the pivotal trial in the U.S., Arbios, prior to suspension of its operations in August 2008, was focused on obtaining CE Mark approval for SEPET™ in Europe.  Receipt of the CE Mark could enable the Company to commence marketing in Europe in the near future without further clinical trials, and to potentially attract a distribution and marketing partner.  Using the Phase I/II clinical data and with existing regulatory controls, the Company has engaged a notified body and an authorized representative to assist Arbios in seeking to obtain the CE Mark.  Arbios’s plan upon receipt of sufficient additional funding was to focus its efforts on 1) securing the CE Mark in Europe, 2) forming a strategic European distribution and marketing relations and 3) completing Segment I of the Phase III trial by treating 5 patients in Rostock, Germany and 4) potentially conducting a Phase I/II clinical trial in septic burn patients through a partnership with the US Army. Treating these patients could further determine effectiveness of the device, and support CE marking, if necessary.
 
Circumstances Leading to Filing
 
In the 12 months leading up to the filing of the petition in this case, the Debtor expended considerable efforts seeking to obtain financing such that it could continue its clinical trials and market SEPET™, or to consummate a strategic transaction to sell itself or its assets.
 
In August 2008, in view of its decreasing cash, Arbios suspended operations to focus solely on obtaining such financing or sale.  Arbios released all employees with the exception of Shawn Cain, the President and Interim CEO, and Scott Hayashi, the company’s CFO, who continue to work for Arbios as consultants on a month-to-month basis
 
 
 

 

On January 2, 2009, Immunocept, LLC declared a default in its License Agreement, dated March 29, 2007, with Arbios.  Pursuant to this agreement, the Company had in-licensed certain intellectual property from Immunocept, including five issued U.S. patents, four pending U.S. patents, and two pending European patents.  In its notice of default, Immunocept claimed that the Company owed Immunocept a milestone payment and will owe royalties on net sales of products that are covered by the License Agreement, including the SEPET™ system.
 
Significant Events Since the Petition Date
 
Prior to the Petition Date, the Company was in active discussions with various potential buyers of its assets, none of which discussions ultimately progressed to any binding agreement.
 
After the Petition Date, the Company was approached by individuals who had previously expressed interest in purchasing certain of the assets, for a sale of a substantial majority of the Company’s equity.
 
The Plan Term Sheet
 
On March 16, 2009, the Company and Arbios Acquisition Partners, LLC (“AAP”) entered into a term sheet (the “Plan Term Sheet”) pursuant to which, on the Effective Date: (i) the Plan Funder will provide an aggregate, including prior paid deposits, of $1,000,000 to the Debtor, (ii) Administrative and Priority Claims will be paid in full, (iii) Interests in the Debtor will be cancelled and fully extinguished, (iv) 90% of New Common Stock will be issued to the Plan Funder, (v) Allowed General Unsecured Claim Holders will receive 90% of the principal amount of their Allowed Claim, (vi) Common Stock Holders will be issued 10% of New Common Stock, Pro Rata.
 
The Plan
 
Having already marketed the Debtor and its assets for many months prior to and subsequent to the Petition Date, it is the Debtor’s business judgment that the Plan represents the highest and best return for estate constituencies.  In the Debtor’s judgment, any liquidation or alternative sale of assets is unlikely to yield material proceeds outside the collection of inventory, intellectual property and supply contracts currently in the Company that are de minimis.  Moreover, after months of marketing and discussions with various parties, the deal set forth in the Plan is the only concrete proposal for the Debtor and its assets that has materialized.
