JURISDICTION AND VENUE 1. This Court has jurisdiction to consider this Motion under 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334 and the Amended Standing Order of Reference from the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, dated as of February 29, 2012. This is a core proceeding under 28 U.S.C. § 157(b). Under Local Rule 9013-1(f), the Debtors consent to entry of a final order under Article III of the United States Constitution. Venue of these cases and the Motion in this district is proper under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409. 2. The statutory predicates for the relief requested herein are Bankruptcy Code sections 105(a) and 521, Bankruptcy Rules 1007(c) and 9006(b), and Local Rule 1007-1(b). II. BACKGROUND 3. On August 5, 2024 (the "Petition Date"), each of the Debtors filed a voluntary petition in this Court commencing a case for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the "Chapter 11 Cases"). The factual background regarding the Debtors, including their business operations, their capital and debt structures, and the events leading to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, is set forth in detail in the First Day Declaration and is fully incorporated herein by reference. 4. The Debtors continue to manage and operate their business as debtors in possession pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 1107 and 1108. No trustee or examiner has been requested in the Chapter 11 Cases and no committees have yet been appointed. 2 Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Motion shall have the meanings given to them in the First Day Declaration. 2 Case 24-11647-MFW Doc 10 Filed 08/12/24 Page 3 of 8 III. RELIEF REQUESTED 5. By this Motion, the Debtors seek entry of an order pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 1007(c), extending the deadline to file their (a) schedules of assets and liabilities, (b) schedules of executory contracts and unexpired leases, and (c) statements of financial affairs (collectively, the "Schedules and Statements") by an additional thirty (30) days from the date such Schedules and Statements are otherwise required to be filed, for a total of forty-two (42) days from the Petition Date, without prejudice to the Debtors' ability to request additional time to file the Schedules and Statements should it become necessary. IV. BASIS FOR RELIEF 6. Bankruptcy Code section 521 and Bankruptcy Rule 1007(c) require a debtor to file, among other things, its schedules of assets and liabilities, schedules of current income and current expenditures, and a statement of financial affairs within fourteen days of the petition date. Bankruptcy Rule 1007(c) also allows an extension "on motion for cause shown." 7. Here, good and sufficient cause exists under Bankruptcy Rule 1007(c) to grant the Motion due to: (b) the number of creditors; (c) the number of Debtors; and (d) the burden which would be imposed on the Debtors to file schedules and statements by the current filing deadline of August 19, 2024. 8. To completely and accurately file Schedules and Statements, the Debtors must collect, review, and analyze a substantial amount of information. This information is voluminous, and there are six (6) separate Debtors in these cases, each of whom must fill out their own Schedules and Statements. Assembling the necessary information will require a significant expenditure of time and effort on the part of the Debtors, who do not have any direct employees and rely on a small group of people to maintain their books and records. The magnitude of that 9 Case 24-11647-MFW Doc 10 Filed 08/12/24 Page 4 of 8 task, when taken together with the Debtors' transition into chapter 11 and the ongoing burdens of operating the Debtors' business day to day, supports an extension of the deadline for filing the Schedules and Statements. Moreover, the relief requested herein will not prejudice or adversely affect the rights of the Debtors' creditors or other parties in interest. Rather, the extension requested herein will aid the Debtors' efforts to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the Schedules and Statements, which in turn will promote efficient administration of these chapter 11 cases. 9. Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtors, their advisors, counsel, and other parties in interest focused extensively on preparing for the filing and transitioning the business into the chapter 11 process. The Debtors are working expeditiously to prepare and file their Schedules and Statements, however, considering the amount of work entailed in completing the Schedules and Statements and given the size of the Debtors' business and the amount of information required to adequately prepare such Schedules and Statements, the Debtors respectfully submit that cause exists to extend the deadlines to complete the Schedules and Statements, without prejudice to the Debtors' right to request further extensions, for cause shown. V. NOTICE 10. Notice of this Motion will be provided to: (a) the office of the U.S. Trustee for the District of Delaware; (b) the holders of the thirty (20) largest unsecured claims on a consolidated basis against the Debtors; (c) the Debtor's secured creditors; (d) the Internal Revenue Service, and; (e) all parties entitled to notice pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002. 11. The Debtors respectfully submit that such notice is sufficient and that no further notice of this Motion is required. VI. NO PRIOR REQUEST 12. No previous request for the relief sought herein has been made to this Court or any other court. 10 Case 24-11647-MFW Doc 10 Filed 08/12/24 Page 5 of 8 WHEREFORE, the Debtors respectfully request that the Court enter the Proposed Order, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A, granting the relief requested in the Motion and such other and further relief as may be just and proper.
