Item 1.03 Bankruptcy or Receivership
Chapter 11 Filing
As previously disclosed, on August 5, 2019 (the "Petition Date"), iPic
Entertainment Inc. ("iPic" or the "Company") and certain of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries (together with iPic, the "Debtors") filed voluntary petitions
(collectively, the "Bankruptcy Petitions") under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the
United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court
for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court"), and are jointly
administered (the "Chapter 11 Cases"), under the caption In re: iPic-Gold Class
Entertainment, LLC, et al Case No. 19-11739.
In connection with the Bankruptcy Petitions, on October 17, 2019, the Company
conducted, pursuant to bid procedures approved by the Bankruptcy Court, an
auction (the "Auction") under Section 363 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code relating
to the disposition of substantially all of the Debtor's assets. The bid
submitted by iPic Theaters, LLC (the "Purchaser"), an affiliate of the Teachers'
Retirement System of Alabama ("TRSA") and the Employees' Retirement System of
Alabama ("ERSA"), the Debtor's largest creditor and a significant stockholder of
the Company, was the winning bid (the "Winning Bid").
As previously disclosed, on November 15, 2019, the Purchaser acquired
substantially all of the Debtors' assets (the "Purchased Assets") pursuant to an
Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Asset Purchase Agreement") by and among iPic-Gold
Class Entertainment, LLC, iPic Gold Class Holdings LLC, iPic Media LLC, Delray
Beach Holdings, LLC, iPic Texas, LLC (collectively, the "Sellers") and the
Purchaser. Consideration for the Purchased Assets consisted of the Debtors
receiving an offsetting credit against the balances due under the Debtors'
postpetition financing facility, and the prepetition indebtedness of the Sellers
to TRSA and ERSA in an aggregate amount equal to $56 million plus the assumption
of certain liabilities and the agreement to fund certain settlement amounts as
set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement and related sale order. The Bankruptcy
Court entered an order approving the sale of the Purchased Assets on October 29,
2019 and the sale closed on November 15, 2019.
Dissolution of Debtors
On April 27, 2020, the Debtors filed a Motion For Entry of an Order with the
Bankruptcy Court seeking, among other things, dismissal of the Chapter 11 Cases,
authorization to abandon certain property and to dissolve the Debtors, and other
customary relief (the "Motion").
On June 3, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court issued an initial order (the "Initial
Order") granting the Motion. Pursuant to the Initial Order, certain
representatives of the Debtors are authorized to take all actions reasonably
necessary to dissolve or cancel the corporate existence of the Debtors under
applicable law. A copy of the Initial Order is annexed hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and
is incorporated herein by reference.
In accordance with the Initial Order, the Debtors intend to finalize their
affairs and expect to dissolve under applicable law.
There will be no assets available for distribution to the stockholders of the
Company and it is expected that the shares of the Company will be cancelled for
no value in connection with the dissolution.
