by reference to the Agreement.
Item

With the
sale of all of the Performance Capital Management, LLC (the “Company”) loan
portfolios to Oliphant Financial Group, LLC, a Florida limited liability company

Item
8.01. Other Events.
Legal
Proceedings
On
January 22, 2010, Performance Capital Management, LLC (the “Company”) agreed to
settle a lawsuit with Mark Palmer, a plaintiff who filed a lawsuit against the
Company in November 2009 in the United States District Court for the District of
Connecticut, for $3,900 and a release from the debt that he owes to the
Company.
Estimated
Liquidating Distributions
The net
proceeds to Performance Capital Management, PLLC (the “Company”) from the sale
of the Matterhorn Financial Services, LLC (“Matterhorn”) loan portfolios and the
Company’s loan portfolios was estimated to be $1,432,000 on December 15, 2009,
as disclosed in the Company’s definitive proxy statement (“Proxy Statement”)
filed with the SEC on January 12, 2010 and posted on the Company’s web site at:
http://www.cfpproxy.com/9101sm. The actual net proceeds received by the Company
from the sale of the portfolios were approximately $1,425,000. The sale of the
Company’s portfolios is disclosed in this report on Form 8-K under Item 1.01,
Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement. The sale of the Matterhorn
portfolios was disclosed in a report on Form 8-K dated January 7, 2010 and filed
with the SEC on January 13, 2010. With the
sale of the Company’s and Matterhorn’s portfolios, the Company will not receive
any further servicing fees or revenues from portfolio collections, with the
exception of potential payments from accounts held back from the sales,
including those that are the subject of pending lawsuits against the Company or
a bankruptcy order.
1
The net
proceeds received from the sale of the Company’s loan portfolios to Oliphant are
being held in a separate bank account pending the vote by the Company’s members
of record as of December 31, 2009 (“Members”) on the Board’s proposal
to dissolve the Company contained in the Proxy Statement. The deadline for
Members to submit their consents or revoke their consents is February
19, 2010. If the members approve the dissolution and liquidation of the Company,
the proceeds will be distributed as provided in the Plan of Dissolution, a copy
of which is attached to the Proxy Statement. If the Members vote against the
proposal to dissolve the Company or there are insufficient votes submitted to
take action, the Board will seek a decree of judicial dissolution pursuant
to California state law and distribute any remaining assets to the members and
economic interest owner (together, “Unit Holders”), and/or file for bankruptcy,
depending upon the circumstances.
The
proceeds from the sale of the Matterhorn portfolios are being used to settle
amounts owing to creditors, including the termination fee in connection with the
termination of the office lease, and to pay ongoing business
expenses.
While the
actual amount of the Company’s future liabilities, other obligations and
expenses and claims against it is unknown, the Board has taken steps to preserve
the value of the Company’s assets and reduce its expenses while awaiting a vote
by the Members. At the time of this filing, the Company believes that available
cash will be adequate to provide for the satisfaction of its liabilities, other
obligations and expenses and claims against it and that it will make one or more
cash distributions to its Unit Holders.
The
amount the Company estimates it will distribute to its Unit Holders remains
at between $0.16 to $0.61 per unit (based on 548,443 total units outstanding),
as disclosed in the Proxy Statement. This estimated liquidating distribution
range assumes that the dissolution and liquidation of the Company pursuant to
the Plan of Dissolution will be approved and ratified by the Members and that
there will be assets remaining after all claims, liabilities and expenses (such
as salaries and benefits, severance, directors’ and officers’ insurance, payroll
and local taxes, legal and accounting fees and miscellaneous office expenses)
are paid.
The
Company will continue to defend any pending lawsuits and pay any claims,
liabilities and expenses following approval of the dissolution of the Company
pursuant to the Plan of Dissolution. Such claims, if not settled, may continue
for up to 4 years following the Effective Date. Satisfaction of these claims,
liabilities and expenses will reduce the amount of assets available for ultimate
distribution to Unit Holders. Any contingency reserve established by the
Company’s Board as a setoff against these amounts will be deducted before the
determination of amounts available for distribution to Unit Holders. To the
extent that the amount of the Company’s liabilities or the
amounts that the Company expends during the liquidation are greater than the
contingency reserve, the Unit Holders may receive substantially less than
the amount currently estimated, or no distribution.
Solicitation
of Member Votes
As
described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on
January 12, 2010, the Company is soliciting votes from the Members to
take action by written consent, in lieu of a special meeting of the Members, on
a proposal to approve and ratify the dissolution and liquidation of the Company.
If such approval is received, the Company intends to proceed with an orderly
dissolution of the Company pursuant to the Plan of Dissolution, and cease its
reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended.
A CONSENT
THAT HAS BEEN DELIVERED TO THE COMPANY MAY BE REVOKED BY THE MEMBER GIVING IT BY
SIGNING AND DELIVERING A NEW CONSENT TO THE COMPANY BEARING A LATER DATE, OR BY
DELIVERING A WRITTEN NOTICE OF REVOCATION TO THE COMPANY.
