Hovnanian Homes for a site plan amendment for a new owner/builder to construct different home models in a previously approved single family subdivision (Bradwell Estates) MEETING DATE: August 4, 2014 COMMITTEE: Planning, Building and Zoning FROM: Peter Gugliott~ames Donahue~ REQUEST: Request by Bradwell Estates LLC and K. Hovnanian Homes for a site plan amendment for a new owner/builder to construct different home models in a previously approved single family subdivision (Bradwell Estates). BACKGROUND: Bradwell Estates Subdivision was approved as a 17 lot single-family subdivision on January 20, 2014. The developer (Bradwell Estates LLC) has not started any work on the subdivision post approval. Due to other projects currently under development by the original developer (Bradwell Estates LLC), they have looked for another builder to construct the majority of the subdivision, including the infrastructure and most of the homes. The original developer has entered into a contract with K. Hovnanian Homes to develop Bradwell Estates with the same land plan as was approved earlier this year. One of the conditions of the final site approval for the subdivision was that "Approval of Bradwell Estates is granted based on the proposal that Bradwell Estates LLC (d.b.a. Projx Construction Group) will construct all homes within this unit consistent with the home plans provided in the packet. Any proposed house construction by any other builder, or any significant change in the house models to be constructed, will require Village review and approval, in accordance with Village Code." DISCUSSION: Bradwell Estates LLC has contracted with K. Hovnanian Homes, a nationally recognized homebuilder, to commence and coordinate the development of Bradwell Estates. K. Hovnanian will post required security, contract and manage the installation of all public infrastructure and comply with all the previously approved plans including plat, engineering and landscape. All obligations outlined within the Annexation Agreement will be assumed by K. Hovnanian Homes. Bradwell Estates LLC (d.b.a. Projx Construction Group) will retain the ability to build some homes in the subdivision, but the vast majority will be constructed by K. Hovnanian Homes. Planning, Building and Zoning Committee -2- August 4, 2014 DISCUSSION: (Continued) K. Hovnanian Homes is proposing to offer four home plans from 2,500- 3,400 square feet as the base models with each plan offering 3-5 distinct elevations. All front elevations will feature masonry (stone or brick) in some form and are similar in character to the previously approved homes. K. Hovnanian Homes anticipates home revenues ranging between $500,000-$750,000 for the subdivision. As allowed by the Annexation Agreement, K. Hovnanian Homes may opt to construct a model home on the site. K. Hovnanian Homes will still be bound by the original approvals for the Bradwell Estates Subdivision with respect to landscaping, engineering, on-site and off-site improvements, and all conditions of approval. They will not be seeking to change the previously approved plat of subdivision or final engineering. K. Hovnanian Homes is currently working on an agreement with the Hoffman Estates Park District to amend

CORPORATE DISTRESS, CREDIT DEFAULT SWAPS, AND DEFAULTS: INFORMATION AND TRADITIONAL, CONTINGENT, AND EMPTY CREDITORS* Henry T. C. Hu ** ABSTRACT Federal securities law seeks to ensure the quality and quantity of information that corporations make publicly available. Informational asymmetries associated with companies in financial distress, but not in bankruptcy, have received little attention. This Article explores some important asymmetries in this context that are curious in their origin, nature, and impact. The asymmetries are especially curious because of the impact of a world with credit default swaps (CDS) and CDS-driven debt “decoupling.” The Article explores two categories of asymmetries. The first relates to information on the company itself. Here, the Article suggests there is fresh evidence for the belief that troubled companies may prove lax in securities law compliance and for the existing “final period” explanation for such laxity.

  • Domestic Drywall Antitrust Litigation Civi
    IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA IN RE: DOMESTIC DRYWALL ANTITRUST LITIGATION CIVIL ACTION THIS DOCUMENT RELATES TO: MDL No. 13-2437 Ashton Woods Holdings LLC, et al., Plaintiffs, 15-cv-1712 v. USG Corp., et al., Defendants MEMORANDUM RE: PARTIAL SUMMARY JUDGMENT ON UMBRELLA DAMAGES Baylson, J. October 3, 2019 I. INTRODUCTION In this multidistrict antitrust litigation (“MDL”), Plaintiffs—twelve homebuilders that purchased gypsum wallboard (drywall)—allege that Defendants—manufacturers and/or distributors of drywall—conspired to eliminate job quotes and fix prices during calendar years 2012 and 2013, causing Plaintiffs to pay artificially high prices. Currently pending before the Court is the motion of remaining Defendants L&W, PABCO, and USG (collectively, “Defendants”) for partial summary judgment on umbrella damages. (ECF 292, Def.’s Mot. for Partial Summ. J.) Defendants contend that Plaintiffs, as a matter of law, may not seek damages for drywall purchased from rival nonconspirators at prices that were inflated by Defendants’ allegedly anticompetitive conduct. The issue is whether, under California law, Plaintiffs can seek damages based on prices charged by drywall sellers that were not involved in the price-fixing 1 conspiracy, but whose prices were artificially high due to the alleged conspiratorial behavior of Defendants. After carefully considering the extensive briefing submitted by the parties and the positions advanced at oral argument on March 12, 2019, the Court DENIES Defendants’ Motion. II. FACTUAL BACKGROUND The following is a fair account of the factual assertions—taken from both parties’ recitations—that are relevant to Defendants’ Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on Umbrella Damages.
