BRETT AMRON PRESENTS ON BANKRUPTCY FRAUDULENT TRANSFERS AS SECURITIES CLAIMS

BRETT AMRON PRESENTS ON BANKRUPTCY FRAUDULENT TRANSFERS AS SECURITIES CLAIMS

May 22, 2023 by Maylynn

May 22nd, 2023 - Posted in Brett M. Amron, Events

MIAMI, FL- May 15, 2023-  Bast Amron Partner Brett M. Amron will be a panelist on a virtual CLE webinar, Tuesday, May 31st, from 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm EST, on the topic of “Bankruptcy Fraudulent Transfers as Securities Claims.” Opening the Door to Recovering D&O Insurance Proceeds.

The webinar, hosted by Strafford, will discuss the novel approach used in Verizon Commc’ns. Inc., et al. v. Nat’l Union Fire Ins. Co. of Pittsburgh, et al, Case No N18C-08-086 EMD CCLD (Del. Super. Ct. Oct. 18, 2022) for accessing D&O insurance coverage in connection with a fraudulent transfer claim. The panel will discuss the rationale of Verizon, and how bankruptcy trustees and other estate representatives (such as creditors’ committees) can leverage the holding in this case to augment the estate.

Description

In Verizon, the Delaware Superior Court ruled that when suing companies for fraudulently transferring money or assets, a bankruptcy trustee representing the debtor’s creditors can be deemed a “securities holder” so that such claims in bankruptcy may be deemed securities claims for which D&O coverage is available.

D&O insurance often covers securities claims against a company, its affiliates and their executives, creating a potentially significant source of funds for creditors in a bankruptcy case involving a company or its affiliates. Furthermore, policies typically cover not only settlements and judgments but also related attorneys’ fees and costs and even experts’ fees.

Listen as this experienced panel discusses this novel approach for accessing D&O insurance proceeds to repay fraudulent transfers.

Outline

  1. Overview of Verizon Commc’ns. Inc., et al. v. Nat’l Union Fire Ins. Co. of Pittsburgh
    1. Choice of law and rules of policy interpretation
    2. Key policy definitions, provisions, and exclusions
    3. Derivative standing issues
    4. Reasonable expectation of coverage defense
  2. Bankruptcy applications and strategies

Benefits

The program will review these and other pivotal issues:

  • What was the court’s reasoning in holding that a fraudulent transfer claim constituted a securities claim for which D&O insurance coverage was available?
  • What is the relevant policy language to review in such circumstances?
  • Does the analysis change based the type (“side A/B/C”) of D&O policy involved?
