Notes to Claims and Distribution Summary – Section 6.2(c) Report
December 31, 2018
As of December 31, 2017, the GUC Trust had set aside from distribution $37,856,360 to fund projected Wind-Down Costs and Reporting and Transfer Costs.
On February 15, 2018, the GUC Trust Administrator filed a motion seeking authority from the Bankruptcy Court to reallocate certain set aside GUC Trust Cash for use in funding projected Wind-Down Costs and Reporting and Transfer Costs for the calendar year 2018 (the “2018 Reallocation Motion”). In the aggregate, the 2018 Reallocation Motion sought authority to reallocate $9,051,300 in GUC Trust Cash for the purposes of satisfying projected Wind-Down Costs and $4,554,500 for the purposes of satisfying projected Reporting and Transfer Costs. The 2018 Reallocation Motion did not seek authority to reallocate any GUC Trust Cash associated with potential Avoidance Action Defense Costs. On March 6, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order authorizing the 2018 Reallocation Motion (the “2018 Reallocation Order”). Copies of the 2018 Reallocation Motion and 2018 Reallocation Order are available at the Motors Liquidation Company GUC Trust website athttps://www.mlcguctrust.com/.
As of March 31, 2018, the GUC Trust had set aside from distribution $24,725,315 to fund projected Wind-Down Costs and Reporting and Transfer Costs.
As of June 30, 2018, the GUC Trust had set aside from distribution $24,766,948 to fund projected Wind-Down Costs and Reporting and Transfer Costs.
As of September 30, 2018, the GUC Trust had set aside from distribution $24,767,588 to fund projected Wind-Down Costs and Reporting and Transfer Costs.
During the three months ended December 31, 2018, the amount of GUC Trust Cash set aside from distribution to fund projected Wind-Down Costs and Reporting and Transfer Costs of the GUC Trust did not change from the cash set aside as of September 30, 2018, with the total amount of such set aside cash aggregating $24,767,588 as of December 31, 2018. Such set aside was reduced by $8,912,866 from the amount of unfunded projected Wind-Down Costs and Reporting and Transfer Costs as a result of limitations on the amount of GUC Trust Cash available to be set aside for such purposes. The amount of GUC Trust Cash available to be set aside to fund projected Wind-Down Costs and Reporting and Transfer Costs is subject to inherent limitations because of a fixed amount of GUC Trust Cash and the requirement also to set aside sufficient GUC Trust Cash to satisfy all Disputed General Unsecured Claims and Unresolved Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims.
During all periods presented in the accompanying section 6.2(c) Report, other than for the quarters ended March 31, 2018, September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2018, the amount of GUC Trust Cash (including Dividend Assets) set aside from distribution to fund projected Wind-Down Costs, Reporting and Transfer Costs and potential Taxes on Distribution was sufficient to satisfy such projected costs and potential taxes as estimated by the GUC Trust in accordance with the above detailed Administrative Costs Set Aside Methodology and the Taxes on Distribution Set Aside Methodology. For the quarter ended March 31, 2018, as a result of limitations on the amount of GUC Trust Cash available to be set aside for such purposes, the amount of GUC Trust Cash available to be set aside from distribution to fund projected Wind-Down Costs and Reporting and Transfer Costs as of March 31, 2018 was only $24,725,315, for a net shortfall of $3,577,912 from projected costs. For the quarter ended September 30, 2018, the set aside for potential Wind-Down Costs and Reporting and Transfer Costs was only $24,767,588, for a net shortfall of $7,807,683 from projected costs. For the quarter ended December 31, 2018, as described above, the set aside for potential Wind-Down Costs and Reporting and Transfer Costs was only $24,767,588, for a net shortfall of $8,912,866 from projected costs. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2018, September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2018, the set aside for potential Wind-Down Costs and Reporting and Transfer Costs was insufficient to satisfy in full the Administrative Costs Set Aside Methodology. To the extent GUC Trust Cash associated with Disputed General Unsecured Claims and Unresolved Term Loan Avoidance Action Claims becomes available for distribution in future periods, the GUC Trust may be required to set aside an amount of such GUC Trust Cash to fully fund then projected Wind-Down Costs and Reporting and Transfer Costs in accordance with the above detailed Administrative Costs Set Aside Methodology.
