Negotiating and Drafting Cash Collateral/DIP Financing Orders (Series: Bankru...Financial Poise
Every company needs access to cash to fund its operations. Companies in bankruptcy are no different. But how should a company planning to enter bankruptcy approach this issue if all of its cash is tied up by a secured lender? What will a bankruptcy judge say when the company asks her permission to use cash on terms presented by its lender? How should lenders, debtors, and creditors approach negotiations over the terms of a cash collateral order or debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing agreement? For 2021, professionals must also understand the impact that the economic programs enacted under the CARES Act may have on the use of cash by a commercial debtor during its case. This webinar focuses on answering these questions for advanced business reorganization practitioners and advisors from the perspective of all parties to a negotiation, as well as addressing best practices in drafting, negotiating, and presenting cash collateral and DIP financing orders in complex reorganization proceedings.

3. REDEEMED SHAREHOLDER
Complete Termination
• The redeemed shareholder has gain or loss equal to any difference
between his or her amount realized and stock basis. The gain or loss
may be ordinary or capital depending on how and how long the stock
was held.
Incomplete Termination
• If the redemption occurred in a series of
transactions or the shareholder has
‘constructive ownership’ of some shares
after the direct redemption of all his or
her shares (subject to limited waiver), it
is treated as a dividend.

4. THE CORP. & REMAINING SHAREHOLDERS
Consequences to the Corporation
• Redemption payments are generally non-deductible and do not affect
the corporation’s basis in its assets.
Consequences to the Remaining Shareholders
• “Did the remaining shareholders have the primary
obligation to purchase the shares?”
o No: There are no tax consequences to the SH SH
remaining shareholders. 1 2
o Yes: The corporation is deemed to have paid the
redemption price to the remaining shareholders,
who are deemed to have paid the money to the Corp.
redeemed shareholder.

5. REDEEMED PARTNER
• IRC § 736(b): To the extent the payment is for the redeemed partner’s interest in
partnership property, it is a distribution by the partnership:
o IRC § 751(b): To the extent a distribution is for that partner’s interest in unrealized
receivables or “substantially appreciated” inventory, the partner is deemed to
(i) receive the share of the unrealized receivables or inventory for which she is
being paid cash, taking a basis in those assets equal to the lesser of the
P PRS partnership’s basis in them or her basis in the partnership, and then
(ii) sell those assets back to the partnership for the redemption payment,
generating ordinary income equal to that deemed payment minus her basis in
P PRS
those assets.
o IRC § 731: To the extent not treated under IRC § 751(b), above:
The redeemed partner has gain (ordinary or capital, depending on how and how
long the partnership interest was held) to the extent the distribution exceeds
the partner’s basis in the partnership, minus the basis the redeemed partner
took in any unrealized receivables or inventory under IRC § 751(b).
• IRC § 736(a): If capital is not a material income-producing factor and the redeemed
partner was a GP, then, except as in (b), both distributive shares and guaranteed payments
include unrealized receivables and unallocated partnership goodwill components.
o A “distributive share” is determined by partnership income. IRC § 704(b).
o A “guaranteed payment” is fixed. IRC § 707(c).

6. THE PARTNERSHIP & REMAINING PARTNERS
Consequences to the Partnership
• Amounts treated as guaranteed payments and distributive shares under IRC §
736(a): Generally deductible expenses to the partnership.
• The partnership adjusts its basis in unrealized receivables or inventory it is
deemed to distribute to or repurchase from the redeemed partner in the
amount of the deemed repurchase price.
• If an IRC § 754 election had been made, the partnership adjusts its asset basis
by the amount of gain (or loss) recognized by the redeemed partner under IRC
§ 731.
Consequences to the Remaining Partners
• Generally none. However, remaining partners may have deemed distributions
if their shares of partnership debt are reduced or if the partnership redeemed
the redeeming partner despite the remaining partners’ primary obligation to
do so.

751(a) gain is a capital gain or loss if she held such membership interest for more than
one year.

the selling partner. If the partnership has an IRC § 754 election, the purchasing partners’
bases in the partnership assets is adjusted by the amount paid to the selling partner.
