KServicing - Plan Supplement as Filed — In re Kabbage, Inc. d/b/a KServicing, et al.
What This Document Is
Exhibit C to the Plan Supplement (Docket 561.0): a preliminary Wind Down Budget covering two post-Effective-Date scenarios for the Debtors' PPP loan-servicing book.
Factual Summary
The budget presents two alternative scenarios: a "Transfer Budget," assuming all PPP loan servicing is transferred to an alternative servicer with the Debtors performing no post-Effective-Date servicing, and a "Servicing Budget," under which the Debtors continue servicing after the Effective Date in their discretion. Both budgets assume a Wind Down Officer is selected to implement the wind-down and pursue the Causes of Action reserved elsewhere in the Plan Supplement (Docket 561.2). The Transfer Budget assumes the Effective Date occurs "on or around March 31, 2023" and that an expedited corporate wind-down lasts approximately four months, though the Wind Down Estates would remain in existence longer to realize on assets including litigation claims. The budget expressly excludes the professional Fee Escrow Amount, which is separately funded and not treated as estate property. The document states the figures are preliminary, subject to material revision, and prepared in good faith based on the Debtors' advisors' assumptions, cautioning that actual results may differ materially.

EXHIBIT C Wind Down Budget Case 22-10951-CTG Doc 561-3 Filed 02/21/23 Page 1 of 7 Wind Down Budget1 This schedule reflects the following: (1) a Wind Down Budget for the PPP Transfer scenario where all loan servicing is transferred to an alternative servicer (the “Transfer Budget”) and (2) a Wind Down Budget for the Post-Effective Date PPP Servicing scenario, where the Debtors in their sole discretion, subject to Plan requirements, offer post-Effective Date servicing (the “Servicing Budget” and together with the Transfer Budget, the “Wind Down Budgets”). The Wind Down Budgets assume a Wind Down Officer is selected to effectuate the Wind Down of the Debtors’ operations and pursue Causes of Action for the beneficiaries of the Wind Down Estate. The Wind Down Budgets include certain amounts for disputed claims and the actual amounts of such claims may be higher or lower than the estimated disputed amount. The Wind Down Budgets are preliminary and subject to further review and material revision and have been prepared in good faith based on what the Debtors’ advisors believe are reasonable assumptions. The Wind Down Budgets are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties and should be reviewed in connection with the Disclosure Statement and the risk factors and assumptions set forth therein. Many factors could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Transfer Budget Assumptions General The Transfer Budget assumes that the Debtors are not engaged in any post-Effective Date loan servicing. Timing The Transfer Budget assumes that a Wind Down will commence on the Effective Date of the Plan, which is assumed to occur on or around [March 31, 2023]. The Transfer Budget assumes that an expedited corporate wind down will last approximately four months, although the ultimate length may vary in duration, and for the avoidance of doubt, the Wind Down Estates will remain in existence for a sufficient time to realize on the estate assets, including but not limited to, Causes of Action. Professional Fees The Transfer Budget does not reflect the professional Fee Escrow Amount or amounts to be included therein.
