The Action
The Action | DIP Financing
Proposed Debtor-in-Possession Financing
• The lack of content created an urgent and sudden need to access liquidity beginning in early August. As of the Petition Date, the
Debtors have approximately $4 million of cash on hand.

of a $1.935 billion senior secured superpriority term loan facility (the “DIP Facility”) and consensual use of cash collateral.
