BBX Capital Announces Confirmation of IT'SUGAR's Plan of Reorganization


BBX Capital, Inc. (OTCQX: BBXIA) (PINK: BBXIB) ("BBX Capital" or the "Company") announced today that, on June 11, 2021, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida (the "Bankruptcy Court") announced its intention to enter an order (the "Confirmation Order") confirming the plan of reorganization filed by IT'SUGAR LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, "IT'SUGAR") as modified by the Confirmation Order (the "Plan"). As previously announced, on September 22, 2020, IT'SUGAR filed petitions for voluntary relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code ("Chapter 11") in the Bankruptcy Court.

IT'SUGAR expects that the Confirmation Order will be entered this week. The effective date of the Plan will occur as soon as all conditions precedent to the Plan have been satisfied (the "Effective Date"). IT'SUGAR believes that the Effective Date will occur within thirty days of Plan confirmation. It is also possible that technical amendments could be made to the Plan prior to the Effective Date. On the Effective Date, the equity interests in IT'SUGAR will revest in BBX Capital, and as a result of the Plan confirmation, BBX Capital will be deemed to have reacquired control of IT'SUGAR and again consolidate the results of IT'SUGAR into its financial statements.

The Plan contemplates the following treatment of claims against and interests in IT'SUGAR:

The Plan is expected to be funded by IT'SUGAR's cash on-hand and a secured exit credit facility (the "Exit Facility") advanced by a subsidiary of the Company of up to $13.0 million (less the amount of the subsidiary's existing Prepetition Line of Credit and DIP Loan due from IT'SUGAR, which had an aggregate principal balance of $10.0 million), subject to certain customary terms and conditions.

The Plan incorporates an integrated compromise and settlement of claims. Unless otherwise specified in the Plan, the Plan and the Confirmation Order will be in full satisfaction of all claims against and interests in IT'SUGAR, and all of IT'SUGAR's existing funded debt will be discharged on the Effective Date.

IT'SUGAR's creditors overwhelmingly voted to accept the Plan, with creditor acceptance of the Plan representing approximately 99% in both number and dollar amount of ballots cast.

During the bankruptcy proceedings, Meland Budwick, P.A. served as legal counsel to IT'SUGAR, and Stearns Weaver Miller Weissler Alhadeff & Sitterson served as legal counsel to BBX Capital and its subsidiary which was an IT'SUGAR creditor. In addition, the Algon Group provided restructuring advisory services to IT'SUGAR, with Troy Taylor, the Algon Group's President, serving as IT'SUGAR's Chief Restructuring Officer during the bankruptcy proceedings.
