Goldenpeaks Poland Holding Limited - Chapter 11 Plan Terms
GoldenPeaks Poland Holding’s orderly wind-down plan centers on a competitive sale of substantially all assets, with a Brookfield-affiliated stalking horse permitted to credit bid the full amount of its DIP and prepetition credit facility claims, whereby cash sale proceeds would repay allowed DIP claims in full while a Brookfield acquisition could extinguish or equitize those claims, funded secured creditors would recover from applicable collateral or agreed sale treatment, and general unsecured creditors would receive 10% of net proceeds from a $500,000-funded liquidation trust holding retained causes of action, with Brookfield receiving the remaining 90%.
Plan Terms
Overview
- The Plan contemplates an orderly wind-down of the Debtors’ remaining operations and assets and distribution of the proceeds to creditors.
- As of the Petition Date, the Debtors had approximately $967 million in funded debt obligations, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, comprising:
- Approximately $497 million of senior secured debt.
- Approximately $176 million of mezzanine secured debt.
- Approximately $294 million of corporate-level debt owed to affiliates of Brookfield Asset Management Limited and its affiliates, including funds and accounts managed by them and their affiliates or designees (“Brookfield”).
- On the Effective Date:
- The Retained Causes of Action and $500,000 of Liquidation Trust Cash will be transferred to a Liquidation Trust for the benefit of the Liquidation Trust Beneficiaries.
- The Liquidation Trust will liquidate, collect, prosecute, sell, settle, or otherwise dispose of the transferred assets.
- Assets not transferred to the Liquidation Trust will remain with the Debtors, which will resolve Claims other than Class 4 Claims, make Distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims other than Class 4 Claims, and wind down under the direction of the Independent Directors.
- The Plan provides for limited substantive consolidation of the Estates solely for voting, Claims reconciliation, and Distribution purposes.
Sale Transaction
- On June 24, 2026, the Debtors filed a motion seeking authority to sell substantially all of their assets through a competitive marketing and auction process, free and clear of liens, claims, encumbrances, and other interests, and to assume and assign certain executory contracts and unexpired leases.
- The Debtors entered into a stalking horse asset purchase agreement with Bid Administrator LLC and certain funds and accounts managed by Brookfield or their affiliates and designees (collectively, the “Stalking Horse Bidder”).
- The stalking horse bid establishes a floor for the Sale and remains subject to higher or otherwise better offers.
- Subject to the Final DIP Order, the Stalking Horse Bidder may credit bid up to the full amount of its claims under the DIP Facility and Prepetition Credit Facility.
- The Stalking Horse Bidder is entitled to an expense reimbursement of up to $3 million.
< - On July 6, 2026, the Court entered the Bid Procedures Order approving the bid procedures and the Debtors’ entry into the Stalking Horse APA and establishing the sale timeline, including a July 24, 2026 qualified bid deadline, an auction (if necessary) on July 27, 2026, and a Sale hearing on August 4, 2026.
- The marketing process remains ongoing.
- The Stalking Horse Bidder may determine the purchased and excluded assets and liabilities before closing, including by designating contracts and acquired companies until two business days before the closing date.
