(“Great Atlantic”) and certain of its affiliates, as debtors and debtors in possession (collectively, the “Debtors” or “A&P”), are filing their respective Schedules of Assets and Liabilities (each, a “Schedule,” and, collectively, the “Schedules”) and Statement of Financial Affairs (each, a “Statement” or “SOFA” and, collectively, the “Statements” or “SOFAs”) in the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) pursuant to section 521 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) and Rule 1007 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the “Bankruptcy Rules”). These Global Notes and Statements of Limitations, Methodology, and Disclaimer Regarding the Debtors’ Schedules and Statements (collectively, the “Global Notes”) pertain to, are incorporated by reference in, and comprise an integral part of all of the Schedules and Statements. The Global Notes are in addition to the specific notes set forth below with respect to the Schedules and Statements (the “Specific Notes,” and, together with the Global Notes, the “Notes”). These Global Notes should be referred to, and referenced in connection with, any review of the Schedules and Statements. The Debtors’ management prepared the Schedules and Statements with the assistance of their advisors and other professionals. The Schedules and Statements are unaudited and subject to potential adjustment. In preparing the Schedules and Statements, the Debtors relied on financial data derived from their books and records that was available at the time of preparation. The Debtors’ management team and advisors have made reasonable efforts to ensure that the Schedules and Statements are as accurate and complete as possible under the circumstances; however, subsequent information or discovery may result in material changes to the Schedules and Statements and errors or omissions may exist. Notwithstanding any such discovery, new information, or errors or omissions, the Debtors do not undertake any obligation or commitment to update the Schedules and Statements. The Debtors reserve all rights to amend or supplement the Schedules and Statements from time to time, in all respects, as may be necessary or appropriate, including the right to dispute or otherwise assert offsets or defenses to any claim reflected on the Schedules and Statements as to amount, liability, classification, identity of debtor or to otherwise subsequently designate any claim as “disputed,” “contingent,” or “unliquidated.” Furthermore, nothing contained in the Schedules, Statements, or Notes shall constitute a waiver of any of the Debtors’ rights or an admission with respect to their chapter 11 cases, including any issues involving objections to claims, substantive consolidation, equitable subordination, defenses, characterization or re-characterization of contracts and leases, assumption or rejection of contracts and leases under the provisions of chapter 3 of the Bankruptcy Code, causes of action arising under the provisions of chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any other relevant applicable laws to recover assets or avoid transfers. 15-23007-rdd Doc 720 Filed 09/01/15 Entered 09/01/15 22:09:04 Main Document Pg 3 of 552 The Schedules, Statements, and Notes should not be relied upon by any persons for information relating to current or future financial conditions, events, or performance of any of the Debtors or their affiliates. 1. Description of the Cases. On July 19, 2015 (the “Commencement Date”), each of the Debtors commenced a voluntary case under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors are authorized to operate their businesses and manage their properties as debtors in possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. On July 20, 2015, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order authorizing the joint administration of these cases pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 1015(b). On July 24, 2015, the United States Trustee for Region 2 (the “U.S. Trustee”) appointed an official committee of unsecured creditors pursuant to section 1102(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Creditors’ Committee”). 2. Basis of Presentation. For financial reporting purposes, the Debtors generally prepare consolidated financial statements, which include information for A&P and its debtor affiliates. The Schedules and Statements are unaudited and reflect the Debtors’ reasonable efforts to report certain financial information of each Debtor on an unconsolidated basis. These Schedules and Statements neither purport to represent financial statements prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”), nor are they intended to be fully reconciled with the financial statements of each Debtor. The Debtors attempted to attribute the assets and liabilities, certain required financial information, and various cash disbursements to the particular Debtor entity. However, because the Debtors’ accounting systems, policies, and practices were developed for consolidated reporting purposes, rather than reporting by legal entity, it is possible that not all assets and liabilities have been recorded with the correct legal entity on the Schedules and Statements. Accordingly, the Debtors reserve all rights to supplement and amend the Schedules and Statements in this regard. Given, among other things, the uncertainty surrounding the valuation of certain assets and liabilities, a Debtor may report more assets than liabilities. Such report shall not constitute an admission that such Debtor was solvent on the Commencement Date or at any time before or after the Commencement Date. Likewise, a Debtor’s reporting more liabilities than assets shall not constitute an admission that such Debtor was insolvent at the Commencement Date or any time before or after the Commencement Date. 3. Reporting Date. Unless otherwise noted on the specific responses, the Schedules and Statements generally reflect the Debtors’ books and records as of the close of business on the Commencement Date. Specifically, the Debtors completed a normal fiscal period close on July 18, 2015 (the “Reporting Date”). Consequently, to simplify the reporting, the reported asset values align with the asset values as of the fiscal period close, and the liability values are as of the Commencement Date, adjusted for authorized payments under the First Day Orders (as defined below). 2 15-23007-rdd Doc 720 Filed 09/01/15 Entered 09/01/15 22:09:04 Main Document Pg 4 of 552 4. Current Values. The assets and liabilities of each Debtor are listed on the basis of the book value of the asset or liability in the respective Debtor’s accounting books and records. Unless otherwise noted, the carrying value on the Debtor’s books, rather than the current market value, is reflected in the Schedules and Statements. 5. Confidentiality. There may be instances where certain information was not included or redacted due to the nature of an agreement between a Debtor and a third party, concerns about the confidential or commercially sensitive nature of certain information, or to protect the privacy of an individual. The omissions or redactions are limited to only what is necessary to protect the Debtor or a third party and will provide interested parties with sufficient information to discern the nature of the listing. 6. Consolidated Entity Accounts Payable and Disbursement Systems. As described in the Cash Management Motion,2 the Debtors utilize an integrated, centralized cash management system, in the ordinary course of business, to collect, concentrate, and disburse funds generated by their operations (the “Cash Management System”). The Debtors maintain a consolidated
