General unsecured creditors rejected plan in small business case (10%
dividend to GUC). I have several impaired classes who voted in favor and so
can cram down. However, in layman's terms, what does it mean that the
"holder of any claim or interest that is junior to the claims of such class
will not receive or retain under the plan on account of such junior claim
or interest..."
This is a mom and pop shop (Inc.). Will mom and pop still own the debtor if
they do not provide the "new value" exception to the APR? Can they still
pay themselves insider compensation pursuant to the budget attached to the
Plan? Or, does this just mean that during the 5 year plan they cannot take
a distribution and then after the Plan is completed they own the Debtor
again?
I really don't get this. I am trying to understand what "receive or retain"
really means for the mom and pop running this Inc.
There is no equity in the business and if it liquidated, only a priority
unsecured creditor would be paid, and not even in full. GUC's would get
zero.
