Quarterly Financial Report as of December 31, 2019 (Unaudited)

 

 

  (1)

Estimated Recovery percentages are calculated based on recoveries of Allowed Claims Eligible for Distributions as reported on Exhibit D of the 19th Distribution Notice filed on September 26, 2019 [Docket No. 59954]. For purposes of this illustrative calculation only:

 

  a.

Allowed claims exclude (i) claims against LBHI satisfied in full through the combination of the primary obligor and guarantee distributions from LBHI, and (ii) previously Allowed Claims that have been withdrawn.

 

  b.

Disputed claims are assumed to be allowed at zero, and all cash reserves currently held on behalf of holders of disputed claims are assumed to be released for the benefit of all holders of Allowed Claims.

 

  c.

Allowed Claims Eligible for Distributions exclude Allowed Claims that each Debtor owns against itself.

 

  (2)

Through D19, the Debtors have made distributions to creditors totaling $127.9 billion, of which $95.0 billion were payments on account of claims owned or formerly owned by third party creditors.

On April 2, 2020, the Debtors will make their twentieth Plan Distribution to creditors of $0.2 billion, of which $0.1 billion are payments on account of claims owned or formerly owned by third party creditors.

III. Notes to the Cash Flow Estimates

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

 

Objectives

On the Effective Date, the Plan became effective and the Debtors emerged from bankruptcy with a new Board of Directors (LBHI’s Board of Directors hereinafter referred to as the “Board”). The Company continues to pursue the objectives of asset value maximization and timely distributions to creditors of available cash through the optimal execution of an orderly wind down process and the judicious and timely resolution of claims. Pursuant to the Plan, the Plan Administrator has made and expects to continue to make distributions to creditors of Debtors, with each entity subject to review at each distribution date.

Basis of Presentation

The information and data included in the Quarterly Financial Report, including the Notes to the Cash Flow Estimates (the “Quarterly Financial Report”) are derived from sources available to the Debtors and Debtor-Controlled Entities (collectively, the “Company” or “Controlled Affiliates”). The term “Debtor-Controlled Entities” refers to those entities that are directly or indirectly controlled by LBHI and have not filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. Debtor-Controlled Entities excludes, among others, certain entities (such as Lehman Brothers Inc. (“LBI”) and Lehman Brothers International (Europe) (in administration) (“LBIE”)) that were not managed or controlled by a Debtor as of the Effective Date and are under separate administrations in the U.S. or abroad, including proceedings under the Securities Investor Protection Act (collectively, “Non-Controlled Affiliates”).

The information and data included in these cash flow estimates and notes thereto (the “December 31, 2019 Cash Flow Estimates”) were prepared to update the October 3, 2019 Cash Flow Estimates filed January 10, 2020 (the “October 3, 2019 CFE”), and are based on estimated cash flows from assets managed in an orderly wind down and/or sale (and related costs of operations) until the Company’s activities are fully resolved.

These December 31, 2019 Cash Flow Estimates include an estimate of expenses to be paid through final termination of the Company on such matters as asset disposition, litigation and disputed claims resolution, administrative wind-down, and related activities. These estimates also include the estimated costs of a small subset of the Company’s current staff committed to stay for many years, if necessary, to oversee the resolution of remaining disputes, other matters and residual wind down activities. These estimates are subject to ongoing review and revision. Actual expenses may differ materially from these estimates.

The Company has prepared the Quarterly Financial Report based on the information available to the Company at the date of filing; however, such information may be incomplete and may be materially deficient. Material uncertainties continue to exist regarding the ultimate value realizable from the Company’s assets, the timing of asset recoveries, future costs, and the eventual level of allowed creditors’ claims. Accordingly, the Quarterly Financial Report is not meant to be relied upon as a complete description of the Company, its business, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations, prospects, assets or liabilities. The Company reserves all rights to revise this report.

In preparing the Quarterly Financial Report, the Company made various estimates and assumptions based on information available to the Company. As such, this report contains forward-looking statements that involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including all statements containing information regarding the intent, belief or current expectation of the Company and members of its management. Accordingly, the financial information herein is subject to change and any such change may be material.

Quarterly Financial Report as of December 31, 2019 (Unaudited)

 

 

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation (continued)

 

The Quarterly Financial Report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s previous filings, including Form 8-K reports as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Plan and related Disclosure Statement (the “Disclosure Statement”) dated August 31, 2011, and other documents filed after the Commencement Dates with various regulatory agencies or the Bankruptcy Court by LBHI, other Debtors and Debtor-Controlled Entities.

Future expenses and distributions are dependent in large measure on the resolution of various legal matters involving the Company and its Non-Controlled Affiliates. (See Litigation below.) The remaining legal matters require resolution in the United States, as well as multiple foreign jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, India, Spain and Australia. The timing for achieving final administrative or judicial resolution of these legal issues is uncertain. As a consequence, the Company cannot definitively specify a date for the final termination of its activities.

All cash flows in these Estimates are presented on an undiscounted basis.

Key Assumptions

Recoveries from Non-Controlled Affiliates

Estimates of recoveries from Non-Controlled Affiliates are based on internal valuation models utilizing information obtained from both Non-Controlled Affiliates’ fiduciaries, as well as information obtained by the Company through settlement negotiations and involvement on creditors’ committees.

The Company’s estimates for recoveries from Non-Controlled Affiliates include estimates for recoveries related to LBIE and the Joint Venture (see Note 3 for additional information), as well as estimated recoveries from other Non-Controlled Affiliates in Europe and Asia.

Certain receivables from Non-Controlled Affiliates are denominated in foreign currencies, and as such, estimated recoveries related to these receivables are subject to movements in foreign exchange rates. The Company does not hedge against movements in foreign exchange rates.

The majority of estimated remaining recoveries from Non-Controlled Affiliates are contingent upon (i) the resolution of matters in dispute and/or active litigation, (ii) the receipt of non-U.S. government and/or Court approvals, and/or (iii) the final wind down of estates not controlled by the Plan Administrator. As such, the timing and amount of future recoveries from Non-Controlled Affiliates is uncertain, and actual recoveries may differ materially from these estimates.

Litigation

The Company is involved directly and/or indirectly in numerous litigations that will impact its recoveries from Non-Controlled Affiliates. The Company’s estimates of recoveries from Non-Controlled Affiliates incorporate the Company’s current assumptions regarding the resolution of these matters (see Other Litigations in Note 6 for additional information).

In addition, the Company has certain litigation pending against parties other than Non-Controlled Affiliates in U.S. courts which may result in potential recoveries to the Company (“Excluded Litigations”). For the purpose of these December 31, 2019 Cash Flow Estimates, (i) potential recoveries from the Excluded Litigations listed under “Excluded Litigations” in Note 6 are not included herein, and (ii) the estimated costs (i.e., professional, legal and advisory fees) of supporting the Company’s Excluded Litigations are included.

Intercompany Recoveries Among Controlled Entities

The December 31, 2019 Cash Flow Estimates reflect the following in the calculation of intercompany recoveries between and among Debtors and Debtor-Controlled Entities:

 

    Allowed Claims as of December 31, 2019;

 

    Unresolved third party claims as of December 31, 2019 are estimated at zero; and

 

    Equity distributions from Debtors and Debtor-Controlled Entities.

Quarterly Financial Report as of December 31, 2019 (Unaudited)

 

 

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation (continued)

 

Reporting of Claim Assignments

As part of the Company’s planned operational wind down and legal entity dissolution process, the Company has assigned and will continue to assign claims among Controlled Entities, typically from a subsidiary entity to a parent entity, with no resulting economic effect on estimated overall recoveries. These assignments are reflected in the “Transfers, Reclassifications, Adjustments” column in the tables herein. For claim assignments in which Debtor entities are assigned claims against themselves (i.e., when LBHI is assigned a claim against LBHI), the receivables and payables are netted.

This Quarterly Financial Report:

 

    Reflects activities through December 31, 2019, including the nineteenth Plan Distribution (“D19”);

 

    Is not audited nor prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”);

 

    Includes certain items that remain under continuing review by the Company and may be accounted for differently in future Quarterly Financial Reports.

Due from/to Affiliates

(as shown in the Balance Sheets and Note 3 and Note 4 herein)

Due from/to Affiliates represents (i) receivables related to transactions among Debtors, Debtor-Controlled Entities and Non-Controlled Affiliates (separately or collectively, “Affiliates”), and (ii) payables by Debtor-Controlled Entities to Debtors and Non-Controlled Affiliates. Certain balances are reflected in “Due from” and “Due to” as a result of the assignments of claims against the Debtor and therefore are not netted.

Due from/to Affiliates are recorded in the Balance Sheets at book values, and where applicable, these balances are recorded net of cash distributions. The balances do not reflect potential realization or collectability reserves for Due from Affiliates balances nor estimates of potential additional payables to Affiliates. As a result, adjustments (including write-downs and write-offs) to Due from/to Affiliates, which are material, will be recorded in the future.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company wrote off $1.153 billion of allowed claims (net of distributions received) in Due from Non-Controlled Affiliates related to counterparties from which the Company has estimated remaining recoveries that are de minimus. The Company will continue to review future estimated recoveries from Non-Controlled Affiliates to determine future write downs.

Note 3 – Due from/to Non-Controlled Affiliates (continued)

 

Joint Venture to Facilitate Resolution of LBIE Claims

On January 31, 2014, Lehman Brothers Holdings Intermediate 2 Ltd. (“LBHI2”), a Non-Controlled Affiliate, LBHI, and Elliott Management Corporation and King Street Capital Management, L.P. (together, the “Funds”) entered into definitive documentation and consummated a joint venture to facilitate the resolution of LBIE claims (the “Joint Venture”):

 

    LBHI2 contributed to the Joint Venture its admitted senior claim of GBP 36.3 million (“Senior Claim”), subordinated claims of GBP 1.24 billion (“Sub Debt”), and an economic interest in its preferred equity (“Preferred Equity”) in LBIE.

 

    The Funds paid approximately GBP 650 million to LBHI2 (by way of a capital contribution to the Joint Venture) and contributed to the Joint Venture the distributions on their claims against LBIE (approximately GBP 2.6 billion face as of January 31, 2014) in excess of the principal amount plus post-administration interest at 8% per year. LBHI2’s final recoveries and distributions will be determined following the resolution of the LBIE estate.

The Joint Venture includes a joint recovery pool governed by a specific sharing formula. Subject to certain adjustments, which could be material, all recoveries from the Sub Debt, Senior Claim, Preferred Equity, and the Funds’ contribution are split as follows:

 

(a)

100% to the Funds up to the Tier 1 Pool Threshold Amount;

 

(b)

For recoveries between the Tier 1 Pool Threshold Amount up to the Tier 2 Pool Threshold Amount, 70% to the Funds and 30% to LBHI2;

 

(c)

For recoveries between the Tier 2 Pool Threshold Amount up to the Tier 3 Pool Threshold Amount, 50% to the Funds and 50% to LBHI2; and

 

(d)

For recoveries above the Tier 3 Pool Threshold Amount, 25% to the Funds and 75% to LBHI2.

The “Tier 1 Pool Threshold Amount” is GBP 650 million. The “Tier 2 Pool Threshold Amount” is GBP 1.3 billion plus interest calculated at the simple rate of 2.25% from November 30, 2013 through September 3, 2018; thereafter, interest is calculated at

the simple rate of 1.25%. The “Tier 3 Pool Threshold Amount” is GBP 2.2 billion plus interest calculated at the simple rate of 4.25% from November 30, 2013 through September 3, 2018; thereafter, interest is calculated at the simple rate of 2.5%.

A detailed summary of the terms of the parties’ commitments and the Joint Venture is available at www.lehman-docket.com in the Key Documents section.

If LBIE makes distributions on the Preferred Equity before aggregate distributions from the Joint Venture to the Funds and LBHI2 have reached GBP 2.2 billion (plus interest), then, in certain circumstances, LBHI2, Luxembourg Finance S.a.r.l. (“Lux Finance”) and LBHI shall be obligated to make payments to preserve the economic terms of the transaction as if 100% of the Preferred Equity proceeds had been transferred by LBHI2 to the Joint Venture.

Receivables from LBHI2:

 

    SLP3 has receivables from LBHI2, which are contingent on the legal resolution of the relative ranking of sub-debt issued by LBHI2. As a result of estimated distributions to LBHI2 following the court sanction of the scheme of arrangement proposed by LBIE’s joint administrators, the Company has recorded an estimate of the recoveries on SLP3’s $6.139 billion subordinated receivables from LBHI2 (“SLP3 Sub Rec”).

 

    Currently, LBHI is the indirect parent and the beneficiary of any proceeds paid pursuant to the SLP3 Sub Rec.

 

    In addition, the Company has receivables from certain Non-Controlled Affiliates that have claims against LBHI2.

Note 6 – Legal Proceedings (continued)

 

(a)

Mortgage Sellers

LBHI filed complaints in the Bankruptcy Court against 174 mortgage sellers seeking indemnification arising from the Allowed Claims of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Private Label Trustees against LBHI for losses from defective loans purchased from LBHI. Three of those complaints were combined into one because two of the defendants were acquired by a third. 52 of the cases have been resolved and the corresponding complaints dismissed with prejudice. The remaining 120 cases are in the discovery phase pursuant to the Case Management Order [Docket No. 825 in Case No. 16-01019] entered on March 13, 2019. LBHI is in the process of pursuing default judgments against 41 of the remaining defendants who have failed to file a response to the complaints filed against them. On March 25, 2020, LBHI filed a Notice with the Court providing preliminary and non-binding disclosure of the allocation methodology it may seek to apply in this case [Docket No. 60483 in Case No. 08-13555].

Certain defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaints on the basis that Lehman Brothers Bank, the original purchaser of the mortgage loans at issue, never effectuated the assignment of its indemnity rights to LBHI prior to the commencement of the chapter 11 cases and therefore, the Bankruptcy Court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over those cases. The moving defendants also seek dismissal on the basis that LBHI gave up its indemnity rights when it sold the loans to the Private Label Trusts. LBHI opposed the motion. The Bankruptcy Court heard argument on October 16, 2019 and reserved decision.

LBHI is also pursuing materially smaller claims against a significant number of mortgage sellers and brokers outside of the litigation, subject to the Amended Alternative Dispute Resolutions Procedures Order [Docket No. 59085 in Case No. 08-13555] entered by the Bankruptcy Court on November 18, 2018. As of March 20, 2020, LBHI has settled with 150 of these parties.

(b)

SPV Avoidance Actions

On January 24, 2017, the Bankruptcy Court ordered that its June 28, 2016 decision dismissing substantially all of LBSF’s claims be considered a Final Order for purposes of appeal. On February 6, 2017, LBSF filed its Notice of Appeal of the June 28, 2016 decision to the US District Court for the Southern District of New York. On February 27, 2017, the appeal was assigned to District Court Judge Lorna G. Schofield.

On March 14, 2018, Judge Schofield issued an order affirming the Bankruptcy Court’s determination in all respects. LBSF filed a notice of appeal to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals on April 13, 2018; LBSF’s appellate brief was filed on July 26, 2018. On June 26, 2019, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral argument on LBSF’s appeal and took the matter under advisement.

The Ballyrock Litigation involves substantially similar issues to those pending on appeal before the Second Circuit.

Refer to the filed Balance Sheets as of October 3, 2017 for previous disclosure.

 

(c)

ECAPs

Prior to the Commencement Date, the Company raised approximately $2 billion through the issuance in the UK of Enhanced Capital Advantaged Preferred Securities (“ECAPS”). The ECAPS were issued via five UK funding partnerships: Lehman Brothers UK Capital Funding LP, Lehman Brothers UK Capital Funding II LP and Lehman Brothers UK Capital Funding III LP, (“ECAPS I-III”), and Lehman Brothers UK Capital Funding IV LP and Lehman Brothers UK Capital Funding V LP.

Lehman Brothers Holdings PLC (“PLC”) has outstanding approximately €0.79 billion of subordinated notes issued to ECAPS I-III and approximately $1.9 billion of subordinated debt which is currently held by LBHI. LBHI2 has outstanding approximately $2.225 billion of subordinated debt issued to PLC and approximately $6.139 billion of subordinated notes which is currently held by Lehman Brothers Holdings Scottish LP 3.

Note 6 – Legal Proceedings (continued)

 

On March 16, 2018, the Joint Administrators of PLC and LBHI2 each made an application to the High Court in England to seek, among other things, its determination of issues of priority in respect of potential distributions to the holders of the subordinated debts. The trial began on November 11 and concluded on November 22, 2019. The Court reserved decision and its ruling is pending.

(d)

Guarantee Claims For Which LBIE Is The Primary Obligor

On July 10, 2018, LBHI filed a motion to have the Bankruptcy Court determine whether interest payments made by LBIE pursuant to its scheme should be counted as “consideration” by a Primary Obligor on the Primary Claims underlying the remaining Guarantee Claims held by affiliates of Deutsche Bank A.G. (“DB”) and Attestor Value Master Fund L.P. (“Attestor”) [ECF No. 58381]. On August 14, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court ruled that such payments by LBIE were consideration such that DB’s and Attestor’s claims should be deemed satisfied in full. On August 20, 2018, both DB and Attestor filed notices of appeal to the District Court. On August 16, 2019, the District Court affirmed the Bankruptcy Court’s decision. On September 13 and 16, 2019, Attestor and DB filed an appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which remains pending.

LBHI previously filed an objection to disallow six, LBIE-based, prime-brokerage-related Guarantee Claims seeking $118 million filed by funds related to Maverick Capital Ltd (“Maverick”) [ECF No. 53107]. On March 24, 2017, the Bankruptcy Court granted LBHI’s objection, disallowed Maverick’s claims, and ruled that Maverick could not amend its proofs of claim to assert direct (as opposed to guarantee) liability against LBHI [ECF No. 55346]. Maverick appealed that decision to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On September 30, 2018, the District Court reversed the Bankruptcy Court’s decision that section 562 of the Bankruptcy Code and certain exculpatory clauses contained in the prime brokerage agreement at issue applied to Maverick’s claims, and remanded the case

to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings. On July 3, 2019, LBHI filed a motion seeking to reduce Maverick’s claims to $4.3 million. On August 8, 2019, Maverick filed its opposition to that motion. On September 10, 2019, the Court heard argument on the Motion and reserved decision.

 

(e)

LBIE Other

The outcome of the following litigation may impact LBHI’s potential recoveries from LBIE:

AG Financial Products Inc.

On November 28, 2011, LBIE sued AG Financial Products Inc. (“AGR”), an affiliate of Assured Guaranty Corp., which in the past had provided credit protection to counterparties under credit default swaps. LBIE’s complaint, which was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York (the “New York Supreme Court”), alleged that AGR improperly terminated nine credit derivative transactions between LBIE and AGR and improperly calculated the termination payment in connection with the termination of 28 other credit derivative transactions between LBIE and AGR. LBIE asserted in the complaint that AGR owes LBIE a termination payment of approximately $1.4 billion.

On July 2, 2018, the New York Supreme Court dismissed LBIE’s allegation with respect to the breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and the claims relating to the nine terminated transactions, but found that there is a genuine question of fact as to the reasonableness and good faith of AGR’s calculation of its loss, and so LBIE may proceed with its claim against AGR for breach of contract. On July 31, 2018, AGR filed a Notice of Appeal with the New York State Appellate Division. On December 11, 2018, the Appellate Division heard oral arguments on the appeal. On January 17, 2019, the Appellate Division affirmed the Supreme Court’s decision in its entirety. The trial was originally scheduled for March 9-20, 2020, but has been adjourned by the Court as a result of risks posed by the coronavirus. A court conference is scheduled for April 20, 2020 to discuss rescheduling the trial.

Note 6 – Legal Proceedings (continued)

 

(f)

Guarantee Clawbacks

On April 30, 2019, LBHI filed an adversary proceeding in the Bankruptcy Court against Lehman Brothers Limited (in administration) (“LBL”), MBAM Investor Limited (“MBAM”), Eldon Street Holdings Limited (“ESH”) and Lehman Brothers Holdings Intermediate 2 Ltd. (“LBHI2”), seeking the return of $260 million in excess distributions on guarantee claims allowed against LBHI because, subsequent to LBHI’s payment of the distributions on such guarantee claims, the primary obligor fully satisfied the corresponding primary claim. On May 23, 2019, Deutsche Bank was permitted to intervene as a defendant by stipulation. On June 28, 2019, the defendants answered and denied the allegations in the complaint, and LBL, ESH, and LBHI2 each asserted a counterclaim that their guarantee claims had not yet been satisfied. MBAM did not initially assert a counterclaim, but subsequently amended its answer to counterclaim and interplead Lehman Brothers Holdings PLC. A status conference was held on July 18, 2019, during which the Court directed the parties to meet and confer in order to develop a set of stipulated facts and to determine the scope of discovery necessary for addressing disputed facts.

 

(g)

Trilantic

On November 12, 2019, Trilantic filed a complaint in New York State Supreme Court against LB 1 Group Inc. and Lehman Brothers Equity Advisers LLC, both Debtor-Controlled Entities, alleging that it was fraudulently induced to purchase Lehman Brothers Merchant Banking Partners IV L.P. by the defendants because they failed to disclose certain liabilities relating to one of the fund’s investments. The complaint seeks unspecified damages arising from having paid too much for the fund in light of the allegedly undisclosed liability. The defendants moved to dismiss the complaint on January 31, 2020 on the bases that there was no liability to disclose at the time of the sale in June 2009 and because the claims are barred by the applicable statute of limitations. Plaintiff’s response is due on March 31, 2020.

(h)

LBT Clawbacks

Various creditors filed guarantee claims against LBHI where the primary obligor is Lehman Brothers Treasury Co. B.V. (“LBT”). The Bankruptcy Court allowed those guarantee claims and the related primary claims were allowed in an insolvency proceeding in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The Plan provides that an allowed guarantee claim is deemed satisfied when distributions from LBHI combined with payments on the primary claim equal the amount of the allowed guarantee claim. LBHI has made distributions on the allowed guarantee claim that when combined with the payments made on the primary claim exceed the amount of the allowed guarantee claim. LBHI demanded return of those excess payments from the holders of such claims and many have complied, but some have not, including Capital Partners Securities Co., Ltd. (“Capital Partners”).

In light of Capital Partners’ failure to return the excess guarantee payments, the Plan Administrator filed a Motion for an Order in Aid of Execution of the Plan in the Bankruptcy Court on September 17, 2019, seeking return of those excess guarantee payments made to Capital Partners. Capital Partners filed its opposition to that Motion on October 28, 2019 and the Plan Administrator filed its Reply to that opposition on November 18, 2019. The Motion seeks an Order directing Capital Partners to return that excess amount of approximately $6 million, which is the largest amount owed by any holder of such a claim. The hearing on the Motion has been adjourned to April 7, 2020 to provide the parties an opportunity to try to resolve the dispute consensually.

Note 6 – Legal Proceedings (continued)

 

(i)

Sweetwater

The State of Delaware filed an action in 2007 in Delaware Chancery Court against LBHI and Sweetwater Point LLC, an entity established to develop real estate, seeking a ruling that the State has superior title to the Sweetwater development site. LBHI and Sweetwater denied the claim to superior title and counterclaimed for damages resulting from the State’s failure to assert its allegedly superior right to ownership of the property in a timely fashion. LBHI holds a 50% interest in Sweetwater Point and a $6 million mortgage on the property in question. The case went to trial on the sole issue of title in 2017. In March of 2018 the Chancery Court ruled in favor of the State. The parties are now in the discovery phase with respect to the counterclaims.

Note 7 – Taxes Payable

Taxes payable is an estimate of tax liabilities, net of the estimated impact of any refund claims, deposits and net operating losses (“NOL”). Taxes payable have been allocated among the members of the LBHI Tax Group pursuant to the Debtor Allocation Agreement (the “DAA”) (see below for further information).

As of December 31, 2019, the Company recorded an estimate of $41 million for potential pre- and post-petition amounts owed to federal, state, local and international taxing authorities, net of expected refund claims. Between October 3, 2019 and December 31, 2019, the Company decreased its taxes payable estimate by approximately $7 million as a result of continuous progress with global audits.

Debtor Allocation Agreement

The Debtor Allocation Agreement, which became effective on the Effective Date, addresses the relationship among the Debtors and certain Affiliates with respect to consolidated federal/combined state/local income taxes for pre-petition and post-petition years. Pursuant to the DAA, any tax receivables or payables related to pre-petition, consolidated group taxes, including the IRS refund, are treated as allowed pre-petition claims between LBHI and other Debtors and Debtor-Controlled Entities and subject to set-off or recoupment.

Net Operating Losses

The NOLs of the LBHI Tax Group (including Debtor-Controlled Entities) are subject to audit and adjustment by the IRS and primarily expire in or about 2028. Substantially all of the LBHI Tax Group’s current consolidated net operating loss carryovers are attributable to the Debtors. The Plan provides for an orderly liquidation of the Debtors. As previously disclosed in the Company’s Quarterly Financial Report as of March 31, 2012 [Docket No. 29731], the LBHI Tax Group received a private letter ruling from the IRS in connection with the Plan going effective that stated (i) the liquidation of the Debtors for U.S. federal income tax purposes may occur over an extended period, and (ii) the reduction of the LBHI Tax Group’s NOLs as a result of the discharge of debt pursuant to the Plan generally would not occur until completion of the liquidation. The Company has filed with the IRS a request for an extension of the ruling. All remaining Debtor NOLs not previously utilized to absorb taxable income of the LBHI Tax Group are expected to be fully utilized to offset the discharge of debt on the final date of liquidation of the Debtors.

Note 8 – Subsequent Events

Tax Matters

In January, the Company received a supplemental IRS ruling extending the original ruling relating to the Company’s liquidation (see Docket No. 29371, page 19, Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2012 with accompanying schedules).

Twentieth Plan Distribution

On April 2, 2020, the Debtors will make their twentieth Plan Distribution to creditors. The Company will distribute to creditors approximately $0.2 billion.
