EASTERN DIVISION
In re: Debtors. | ) ) ) ) ) ) | Chapter 11 (Jointly Administered) Honorable Eugene R. Wedoff |
AND (B) APPROVING RELATED NOTICE PROCEDURES
The above-captioned debtors and debtors in possession (collectively, the "Debtors") hereby move the Court (the "Motion") for entry of an order pursuant to Sections 105(a), 362(a)(3), and 541 of the Bankruptcy Code (A) limiting certain transfers of equity interests in and of the Debtors and claims against the Debtors and (B) approving related notice procedures. In support of the Motion, the Debtors respectfully state as follows.2
Jurisdiction
1. The Court has jurisdiction over this Motion pursuant to 28 U.S.C. sections 157 and 1334. This matter is a core proceeding within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. section 157(b)(2).
1 The Debtors are the following entities: UAL Corporation, UAL Loyalty Services, Inc., Confetti, Inc., Mileage Plus Holdings, Inc., Mileage Plus Marketing, Inc., MyPoints.com, Inc., Cybergold, Inc., itarget.com, inc., MyPoints Offline Services, Inc., UAL Company Services, Inc., UAL Benefits Management, Inc., United BizJet Holdings, Inc., BizJet Charter, Inc., BizJet Fractional, Inc., BizJet Services, Inc., United Air Lines, Inc., Kion Leasing, Inc., Premier Meeting and Travel Services, Inc., United Aviation Fuels Corporation, United Cogen, Inc., Mileage Plus, Inc., United GHS, Inc., United Worldwide Corporation, United Vacations, Inc., Four Star Leasing, Inc., Air Wis Services, Inc., Air Wisconsin, Inc., Domicile Management Services, Inc.
2 The facts and circumstances supporting this Motion are set forth in the Affidavit of Frederic F. Brace in Support of First Day Motions, filed contemporaneously herewith.
3 NOLs can be used as either "carrybacks" (in which the corporation uses the NOLs to offset taxable income for up to two previous taxable years) or "carryovers" (in which the corporation uses the NOLs to offset taxable income for up to twenty taxable years into the future).
4 See 26 U.S.C. section 172.
5 See 26 U.S.C. sections 269, 381, 382, 383 and 384.
6 In general, under IRC section 382, if a corporation undergoes an "ownership change," the amount of NOLs that the corporation can use in any given year to reduce its taxable income is limited to an amount equal to (a) the value of the corporation's equity on the date that the "ownership change" occurs multiplied by (b) the tax-exempt bond rate on that date. Currently, the tax-exempt bond rate is approximately 4.75%. As a result, if the a debtor's equity had a total market value of $150 million on a date that an "ownership change" occurred, the amount of NOLs that the corporation could use to offset its taxable income would be limited to approximately $7 million per year (i.e., $150 million x 4.75%). If the debtor later had $50 million of taxable income in a future year, it would be able to offset $7 million of such taxable income, but would have to pay tax on the remaining $43 million. Because the Debtors have approximately $4 billion of NOLs, a limitation amount of $7 million per year would effectively mean that $3.9 billion of the NOLs could never be used to offset future taxable income. If the Debtors were to lose the use of $3.9 billion of NOLs to offset future taxable income, the Debtors would lose approximately $1.35 billion in potential future tax savings (based on the 35% corporate tax rate now in effect).
7 Generally, a "testing date" occurs when there is a change in the percentage of stock owned by a 5% shareholder before or after the change, or when an option to purchase the stock of the corporation is granted by the corporation. The "testing period" generally consists of the 3-year period prior to any testing date.
8 Under IRC section 382(g)(4)(A), all stockholders who individually hold less than 5% of the shares of stock of a company are generally deemed to be a single 5% stockholder throughout the 3-year testing period, and transfers between such stockholders are disregarded for purposes of determining whether an "ownership change" has occurred (the "Public Group Rule"). Thus, so long as half or more of the debtor's stock is owned by less than 5% stockholders throughout the 3-year testing period, there will be no "ownership change" under IRC section 382. Accordingly, the Debtors do not seek to impose the requested notice and hearing procedures on transactions by stockholders holding less than 5% of the Debtors' stock, provided that such stockholders do not intend to accumulate a 5% or greater block of stock or add or sell shares to or from such a block.
9 Under IRC section 382(l)(5)(E), a creditor whose debt is being converted into stock pursuant to a Chapter 11 plan is a "Qualified Creditor" if either: (a) the claim has been owned by the same beneficial owner since 18 months before the commencement of the bankruptcy case, or (b) the claim arose in the ordinary course of the Debtors' business and has been owned at all times by the same beneficial owner. Examples of ordinary course debt include trade debt; a liability arising from a past or present employment relationship; and a past or present business relationship with a customer, supplier or competitor. See Treas. Reg. section 1.382-9(d)(2)(iv). A creditor who receives stock under the Debtors' Chapter 11 plan of reorganization may also be a "Qualified Creditor" if it ultimately owns less than 5% of the reorganized business, despite not being able to satisfy the continuous ownership requirements. This is termed the "De Minimis Rule." Treas. Reg. section 1.382-9(d)(3).
10 See 26 U.S.C. section 382(l)(5)(A). A corporation that has not previously had an ownership change is not subject to the limitations imposed by IRC section 382 with respect to an ownership change resulting from the consummation of a Chapter 11 plan or reorganization, provided that under the plan the debtor's pre-ownership change shareholders (i.e. persons who owned the debtor's equity immediately before the relevant ownership change) and/or "Qualified Creditors" emerge from the reorganization owning at least 50% of the total value and voting power of the debtor's stock immediately after the ownership change. This is termed the "Safe Harbor." Although there can be no assurance that the Safe Harbor ultimately will be available to the Debtors, it is important that the Debtors preserve their ability to propose a plan or reorganization that could take advantage of the Safe Harbor. Because whether a creditor is "qualified" depends on whether such creditor has held its claim until the effective date of a plan of reorganization, transfers of claims by creditors before such date pose a threat to the Debtors' ability to satisfy the requirements of the Safe Harbor. Similarly, because transfers of equity interests by or to 5% stockholders before the effective date of a plan of reorganization can trigger an ownership change that could impose a severe annual limitation on the Debtors' use of their NOLs, even if the Debtors later satisfied the Safe Harbor requirements in connection with a second ownership change resulting from a plan of reorganization, such transfers also pose a threat to the value of their NOLs. The requested relief will ensure that the Debtors have maximum flexibility to structure a plan of reorganization that meets the requirements of the Safe Harbor, and thus preserves their NOLs to the fullest extent.
Even if it is ultimately determined that the Safe Harbor is unavailable to the Debtors, it is in their best interests to restrict equity transactions which could result in an "ownership change" prior to consummation of a plan of reorganization for two additional reasons. First, an "ownership change" must occur prior to consummation of a plan of reorganization for the Debtors to qualify for the "Favorable Valuation Rule" in 26 U.S.C. section 382(1)(6). IRC Section 382(1)(6) provides that if a corporation undergoes an "ownership change" pursuant to a plan of reorganization in Chapter 11 and the Safe Harbor does not apply (either because the corporation elects out of it or because its requirements are not satisfied), then the appropriate consolidated value of the Debtors for purposes of calculating the section 382 limitation will reflect the increase in the Debtors' value resulting from any surrender or cancellation of creditors' claims in the transaction. Thus, assuming the Debtors' consolidated value increases as a result of the reorganization, section 382(1)(6) will provide for a higher annual limitation than would result under the general rules of section 382, thereby preserving the Debtors' ability to use a greater portion of their NOLs to offset any post-ownership change income. Second, preventing an "ownership change" prior to the effective date of a plan of reorganization will also benefit the Debtors' estates by ensuring that the reorganized Debtors will have unlimited use of their NOLs to offset any expected cancellation of indebtedness income arising on the effective date of a plan of reorganization, which income may be a significant amount. See 26 U.S.C. section 382(a).
11 For instance, on October 10, 2002, Aon directed Fidelity and Frank Russell to increase their cash target to 20%; on October 28, 2002, this cash target was increased to 25%; and on November 22, 2002, this cash target was increased to 40%.
12 A certain percentage of these sales occurred as the result of instructions from participants in UAL's 401(k) plans (i.e., sales directed by current or former employees).
13 This argument assumes that Aon is the "beneficial owner" of the common stock of UAL held in the 401(k) Plans. In its Schedule 13G filed on September 27, 2002, Aon disclaimed beneficial ownership of the 12,725,370 shares of common stock held in the 401(k) Plans. However, it could be argued that Aon may be a "beneficial owner" of this stock because under the 401(k) Plans because Aon has full authority to: (a) continue to offer the funds as investment options under the 401(k) Plans on such terms and conditions as Aon deems prudent and in the interest of the 401(k) Plans and their participants, including prohibiting or limiting (e.g., as a percentage of a participant's account) further purchases or holdings of interests in the funds or increasing the funds' holdings of cash or cash equivalent investments; and (b) terminate the availability of the funds as investment options on such terms and conditions as Aon deems prudent and in the interest of the 401(k) Plans and their participants (and notwithstanding any participant investment directions to the contrary), including determining the manner and timing of termination of the funds and orderly liquidation of the assets thereof. In contrast, the Debtors believe that Aon's position is that it is not the beneficial owner of the stock in the 401(k) Plans because the participants in the 401(k) Plans are allowed to provide confidential directions regarding how the shares of common stock attributable to their accounts should be voted or tendered. In its Schedule 13G, Aon stated that "[n]either Aon Fiduciary Counselors nor Aon [Corporation] has any economic interest in the shares of Common Stock held by the [401(k)] Plans. Each [401(k)] Plan participant has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock held in such participant's account (subject to the above described fiduciary powers of Aon Fiduciary Counselors). Further, each such participant has sole voting power over the securities held in such participant's account."
14 The Debtors do not seek to impose the requested notice and hearing procedures on stockholders holding less than approximately 5% of the Debtors' stock.
