Re: In re Kabbage, Inc. d/b/a KServicing, et al., Case No. 22-10951
Dear Jim:
Following up on our discussions regarding the need for the Debtors to obtain loan servicing information
in the possession of Amex Kabbage, attached is a schedule identifying particular information requested
by the Debtors, as well as general matters that will be necessary to transition loan servicing from Amex
Kabbage. Certain of the requested information is more immediately necessary and critical for the Debtors
to run the PPP business, and Amex Kabbage is obligated under the Transition Services Agreement, dated
as of October 16, 2020 and as amended on November 13, 2020 (“TSA”), by and between American
Express Kabbage Inc., (formerly Alpha Kabbage, Inc.) (“Amex Kabbage”) and Kabbage, Inc. (“Legacy
Kabbage”) to provide such information to the Debtors. Moreover, given that the TSA expressly
contemplated Amex Kabbage would ultimately transition its services under the TSA, it is appropriate to
undertake the steps necessary toward that transition. To that end, other items requested on the attached
schedule address that transition as well. Note, while we believe the particular information requested in
the schedule is comprehensive, we reserve the right to supplement should additional items be required.
In light of the importance of this information to the Debtors’ proper fulfillment of their loan servicing
obligations and the administration of the Debtors’ estates, the Debtors request that Amex Kabbage
voluntarily provide the information specified in the schedule as soon as possible, especially as relates to
the more specific requests.
We believe it is in all parties’ interests to work cooperatively in transitioning these materials to the Debtors
as quickly as possible. Accordingly, by January 19, 2023, please confirm that Amex Kabbage is willing
to provide the requested material, and that it will do so by February 17, 2023. As you are aware, the
Federal Reserve and certain of the Debtors’ partner banks are especially eager to have this information
made available to the Debtors so that the Debtors, or another entity, can better service the applicable loans.
The information is further required in connection with the Debtors’ ongoing administration and is
additionally necessary to respond to certain third-party regulatory requests. For these reasons, and given

the importance of the materials to the Debtor’s estates, if Amex Kabbage opposes providing the requested
information, the Debtors will file a motion for entry of an order directing Amex Kabbage to produce the
requested information pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2004 and Rule 2004-1 of the Local Rules of
Bankruptcy Practice and Procedure of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.
We hope you will work cooperatively to provide all the requested materials and information to avoid our
having to file a motion.
If Amex Kabbage is unwilling to provide the information or believes to be unable to do so before February
17, 2023, please let us know if you are available on Tuesday next week to meet and confer about the
requests.
Sincerely,
Theodore E. Tsekerides
Encl.
