Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
Combined Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation and Disclosure Statement of Legacy IMBDS, Inc., and its Debtor Affiliates
As previously disclosed, on June 28, 2023, Legacy IMBDS, Inc. (f/k/a iMedia Brands, Inc.) and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) seeking relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code. The Chapter 11 Cases are being administered under the caption In re: Legacy IMBDS, Inc., et. al. (Case No. 23-10852).
Also as previously disclosed, on October 10, 2023, the Debtors filed an initial proposed Combined Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation and Disclosure Statement of Legacy IMBDS, Inc., and its Debtor Affiliates (the disclosure statement portion thereof, the “Initial Proposed Disclosure Statement” and the chapter 11 plan portion thereof, the “Initial Proposed Plan,” including all exhibits thereto and as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, and collectively the “Initial Proposed Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement”) with the Bankruptcy Court. Subsequently, on October 27, 2023, the Debtors filed an amended Combined Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation and Disclosure Statement of Legacy IMBDS, Inc., and its Debtor Affiliates (including all exhibits thereto and as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, collectively the “First Amended Proposed Plan and Disclosure Statement”) amending the Initial Proposed Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement filed on October 10, 2023.
On November 1, 2023, the Debtors filed a further amended Combined Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation and Disclosure Statement of Legacy IMBDS, Inc., and its Debtor Affiliates (the disclosure statement portion thereof, the “Proposed Disclosure Statement” and the chapter 11 plan portion thereof, the “Proposed Plan,” including all exhibits thereto and as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, and collectively the “Second Amended Proposed Plan and Disclosure Statement”) amending the First Amended Proposed Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement filed on October 27, 2023. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Item 7.01 have the meaning given to them in the Second Amended Proposed Plan and Disclosure Statement. The Second Amended Proposed Plan and Disclosure Statement describes, among other things, the revised terms of third party releases to reflect an “opt-out” construct, a liquidation analysis, and certain other aspects of the restructuring contemplated by the Proposed Plan (the “Restructuring”). The Second Amended Proposed Plan and Disclosure Statement, as well as other court filings and information about the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases, can be accessed free of charge at a website maintained by the Debtors’ claims, noticing, and solicitation agent, Stretto, Inc., at https://cases.stretto.com/imediabrands, by calling (855)794-3801 (toll-free) or +1 (949) 340-0398 (international), or by sending an email to [email protected].
Although the Debtors intend to pursue the Restructuring in accordance with the terms set forth in the Proposed Plan, there can be no assurance that the Proposed Plan will be approved by the Bankruptcy Court or that the Debtors will be successful in consummating the Restructuring or any other similar transaction on the terms set forth in the Proposed Plan, on different terms or at all.
The Proposed Disclosure Statement was submitted to the Bankruptcy Court for interim approval, and on November 2, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Order (I) Granting Interim Approval of the Disclosures in the Combined Plan and Disclosure Statement; (II) Scheduling a Combined Confirmation Hearing and Setting Deadlines Related thereto; (III) Approving Solicitation Packages and Procedures; (IV) Approving the Forms of Ballots; and (V) Granting Related Relief [Docket No. 701] (the “Solicitation Procedures Order”). Accordingly, the Debtors will commence solicitation of votes to accept or reject the Proposed Plan in accordance with the terms of the Solicitation Procedures Order. A confirmation hearing to consider final approval of the Proposed Disclosure Statement and the Proposed Plan will be held in the Bankruptcy Court on December 21, 2023.
Information contained in the Second Amended Proposed Plan and Disclosure Statement is subject to change, whether as a result of amendments or supplements to the Second Amended Proposed Plan and Disclosure Statement, third-party actions, or otherwise, and should not be relied upon by any party. Such amendments and supplements will also be available for review and free of charge online at https://cases.stretto.com/imediabrands. Such amendments and supplements may be filed with the Bankruptcy Court without the filing of an accompanying Current Report on Form 8-K. The documents and other information available via website or elsewhere are not part of this Current Report on Form 8-K and shall not be deemed incorporated herein.
Copies of the Second Amended Proposed Plan and Disclosure Statement are attached as Exhibit 99.1, to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The foregoing description of the Second Amended Proposed Plan and Disclosure Statement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Amended Proposed Plan and Disclosure Statement.
The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and is not incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or the Exchange Act.
