11/19/16

On August 29, 2016, the Third Circuit released a precedential opinion (the “Opinion”) which opined that a “[redemption] premium, meant to give the lenders the interest yield they expect, [does not] fall away because the full principal amount is now due and the noteholders are barred from rescinding the acceleration of debt.”  The Third Circuit’s Opinion is available here.  This Opinion was issued in an appeal from a decision made in the Energy Future Holdings Bankruptcy Case No.
