The government's bankruptcy watchdog and disgruntled investors suing Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.'s former leaders are both objecting to the investment bank's bankruptcy liquidation plan, saying it's too easy on the executives and board members who oversaw the bank's collapse.
In separate filings with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan, the U.S. trustee's office and a group that's suing former Lehman chief executive Dick Fuld and other top officials said Lehman should add language to its plan that explicitly excludes protections for those who ran Lehman when it imploded in 2008.
"At the very least, there could be some ambiguity," said the investor group in its filing. The investors said that language, which refers to so-called "third party releases," is "improper." The named investors, represented in their class-action suit by law firm Lowenstein Sandler LP, include retirement funds and a local union's trust fund.
The trustee said that Lehman's disclosure statement, or plain-language reading of its bankruptcy plan on which creditors must vote, doesn't name the parties that are released from liability and is therefore not adequate. Judge James Peck of U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan will decide whether to send the plan to creditors for a vote at a hearing later this month.
In all, Lehman received about a dozen objections to the disclosure statement, a relatively low number considering it's the largest bankruptcy in history. Many complicated bankruptcy cases have dozens of objections at that stage. A Lehman spokeswoman declined to comment.
Lehman has been working to satisfy creditors' concerns with how it will liquidate itself, and its most recent plan has the support of two key groups that previously had filed rival proposals.
The new proposal gives creditors of Lehman's various subsidiaries larger recoveries than they would have received under its original plan and defines how much they can claim. Holders of senior bonds of the Lehman parent company would receive slightly less--about 21.1 cents on the dollar compared to 21.4 cents in a prior plan--but like all creditors will benefit from what should be a quicker payback. Those bondholders also get some money that will be reallocated from the pool of money being paid back from the Lehman subsidiaries.
A group including hedge-fund manager Paulson & Co., which represents about $20 billion mostly in those bonds, had filed a proposal late last year that pushes for a 24% recovery for senior unsecured creditors of the parent company at the expense of creditors of the subsidiaries.
A group led by Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and distressed-investment firm Silver Point Capital had spearheaded a third plan that argued subsidiaries' creditors were getting hurt at the hands of creditors of the parent. Their proposal would have only paid senior bondholders of the Lehman parent about 16 cents on the dollar. Both rival groups support Lehman's newest plan, even though the creditors of the subsidiaries stand to fare much better than those of the parent.
For instance, some creditors of Lehman's Specialty Finance Unit--the heart of the failed investment bank's derivatives business--will receive more than 30 cents on the dollar. Those creditors would have received recoveries in the low 20s under a prior Lehman plan, although that proposal didn't set a cap or floor on how much they could claim.
A person familiar with the plan reiterated to Dow Jones earlier this week that Lehman still thinks it can get its plan confirmed by Peck by the end of the year, with creditors beginning to recover money by the first quarter of 2012.
Lehman has also been settling with many large banks on billions of dollars in derivatives claims, a huge factor in the timetable of plan confirmation.
The investment bank's collapse in September 2008 marked the largest U.S. bankruptcy case ever filed. Since then, a team of hundreds of bankruptcy professionals under the direction of Alvarez & Marsal has managed Lehman's assets, which include real-estate holdings, corporate debt and derivatives, for the benefit of creditors.
Lehman estimated earlier this year that it would likely have $322 billion in allowed claims against the estate, with $272 billion from the parent company and about $50 billion from its various subsidiaries. The bank increased creditors' expected net recovery by $2.6 billion from the $57.5 billion it estimated in a September court presentation.

Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., the defunct investment bank trying to boost real estate sales to help pay creditors, won a judge’s permission to hire CB Richard Ellis Group Inc. (CBG) to appraise an office building in Los Angeles.
Lehman gained control of the property at 1000 Wilshire Boulevard and other buildings in 2009 when a joint-venture partner needed an extension of loans advanced by Lehman before its 2008 bankruptcy. Lehman needs to appraise the Wilshire property to foreclose on the loan, which is in default, or exercise “other remedies,” the company has said.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge James Peck in Manhattan signed an order yesterday authorizing the hiring of the Los Angeles-based real estate firm, according to a filing.
Lehman valued its real estate assets at $13.2 billion in a court filing detailing a $65 billion liquidation plan. Real estate sales will run through 2014, New York-based Lehman said in the June filing. Through March, proceeds from real estate sales totaled $3 billion, it said.
In June, the firm sold an office building at 1107 Broadway in Manhattan for $190.8 million to Steven Witkoff, chairman and chief executive officer of New York-based Witkoff Group.
The case is In re Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (LEHMQ), 08-13555, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

Naja, nützt ja nix, abwarten und Tee trinken :-)
von daher arbeiten die hedgies momentan für uns, da auch sie gegen eine abwicklung sind.
so sehe ichs zumindest...
sind zwar mehr als 3 Sätze
aber vielen Dank.
Leider rührt sich wie immer (noch) nix.
Meinungen dazu???
Wenn Lehman das Chapter 11 verlassen darf und eigenständig agieren darf, ohne dass die Shares ausgetragen werden. Das wäre optimal denke ich.
