• Advised on Restructuring of the Year ($1B to $10B) – Waypoint Leasing Holdings Ltd Restructuring. We represented BNP Paribas, Glas Trust Company LLC (the successor to BNP Paribas) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as agents, respectively, for separate syndicates of lenders, in connection with the workout, restructuring, financing and multi-jurisdictional insolvency cases of Waypoint Leasing Holdings Ltd. Waypoint financed its pre-petition operations through a series of complex, bi-lateral secured credit facilities at its subsidiaries, with a parent guarantee. Additionally, the lenders in each credit facility financed Waypoint on a post-petition basis through funding under complicated DIP loans and/or use of cash collateral. The restructuring culminated in a third-party M&A resolution for the Glas Trust Company-led syndicate, and a credit-bid M&A resolution for the Wells Fargo-led syndicate.

This representation required attention to healthcare, regulatory and restructuring issues (among others) all while navigating the interests of a large number of parties frequently seeking differing outcomes. The resolution of these loans ultimately involved the innovative use of the municipal bond market to facilitate exit financing (both out-of-court and in connection with a prepackaged chapter 11) and, separately, through a highly contested section 363 bankruptcy sale process.
