FINAL DISPOSITION OF PROBLEM CHILDREN
Century Communications - Not Public, Florida based cable alarm, not in TRACE.
Eckerd Corporation - too fragmented to trace 9 1/4 debt due 9/15/05. 1996 JC Penney
acquired Eckerd for $3.3-billion; by 4/5/04, JCP announced it
agreed to sell long-struggling Eckerd for $4.5 billion, splitting
between CVS and Canadian Jean Coutu Group (JCOU). Could follow
in JCP but this is not really good enough.
Food-4-Less - Too fragmented to determine serviceor of 10 4/9 debt due 4/15/00, if
it still existed in 2000. In 1996, Food 4 Less was operating under
Ralph's, but which is owned by Yucaipa (private). It somehow became a
Fleming Foods company, but by late 2001 Flemings had filed for
bankruptcy protection. However, by 2003 Flemings was acquiring more
Food 4 Less stores; yet, as of now selected Food 4 Less stores have been
acquired by: Albertsons, Festa Food Group, QVS Food Group, Fresh Brands,
Kroger, Metcalfe, Roundy's, and Save Mart Supermarkets. The Food 4 Less
website takes you to Kroger.
Grand Union Co.(GUCO)- Not in TRACE because Emerged from 1st of 3 bankruptcies 6/19/05.
The 11 1/4% Senior Notes, 7/15/00, were exchanged pursuant to its
1995 Plan of Reorganization for 12% Senior Notes due 9/1/04. The
12% bonds were trading around .50 in Summer 1998. Final asset sale
in late 2000 to C&S Wholesale Grocers, Inc. Sorry, bondholders.
Marvel Parent Holdings - M&A's -> ToyBiz -> Marvel Enterprises, but not in TRACE.
NL Industries, Inc. - Not in TRACE because 11 3/4% Senior Secured Notes due 10/15/03
UCC Discharged 6/28/02.
Payless Cashways, Inc. - Not in TRACE because under terms of 1997 reorg. plan, claims
by 9-1/8% senior subordinated notes received pro rata shares of
the 8,269,329 shares of New Common Stock of the newly reorganized
Company. Unfortunately, 6/01 the new company filed chapter 11 again.
Service Merchandise - Ch 11, '01; Reorg plan of 4/03 provides that, among other things...
the 9% senior subordinated debentures due 2004, the common stock,
the preferred stock, and all ... shall be deemed canceled and of no
further force and effect.
Southland - FIPS Troubled, has to be 7-Eleven, Inc. None are in TRACE. The 5%
First Priority Senior Subordinated Debentures due 12/15/03, retired
7/03 by proceeds of new Senior Subordinated Notes due 2010. Could use
permno 77015 (SVEV, SE, or SLCM) since ongoing concern, but none of these
bonds are in TRACE either.
Trans World Airlines - 10% debt matured 1998. Asset sale to AMR completed 2001, so there
is no servicing of TWA's debt by AMR. Could use AMR bonds for the
paper but probably need to forget about this company.

NOTE on bankruptcy: --------------------------------
[00007] WHAT HAPPENS TO COMMON STOCK & PUBLIC BONDS?
-----------------------------------------------------
After a company files for bankruptcy, its debt and equity securities will continue to trade so long as there's a market (i.e., willing buyers and sellers) for those securities. The New York Stock Exchange will -- as in all bankruptcy situations -- append a Q to the Company's stock symbol. E.g., in a few days, the official symbol under which Service Merchandise's common stock trades will change from SME to SMEQ.

Hi Chris, on the FIPS list you gave me, they had listed
55 on bonds
45 are unique issuers
29 are in TRACE as of 11/2/05, which includes those issuers acquired by
parents still in business (assuming these are servicing the debt), or
acquired again.
Probably 1/3 of remaining 16 companies might be salvageable based on
further study tomorrow (NOTE: this is the "ticker" exercise...)
Thought you'd want to know.
=========================================================================
On the original FIPS list we have companies (Issuers) whose bonds are not recorded in the TRACE database for the study period (trading 7/1/02-6/30-05). Some of these are capturable by: tracking company bonds subsumed by an acquiring firm in a reorganization; company trading under a changed name;
The others we must conclude are not in the TRACE dataset because: they have matured prior to the study period; they were lost/settled in issuer bankruptcy;

By mid=2002, the severity of the telecommunications sector collapse is fully appreciated by looking at the default statistics for the sector. $26.1 billion of the $42.6 billion of defaults in the second quarter (61%) were by issuers in the telecommunications industry. On an issuer count basis, 19 of the 42 defaults (45%) were by telecommunications issuers. Through the first half of 2002, 55% of defaults by volume and 37% as a percentage of issuers have been telecommunications firms. Century defaulted on some big bonds in 5/02:

Horsham Corporation: merged with Trizec Corporation Ltd. to form TrizecHahn Corporation. TrizecHahn was created in November 1996 when Trizec Corp. merged with its largest shareholder, Horsham Corp. of Toronto. Horsham was a publicly traded company that made its money in mining and oil and then decided to invest in real estate. But the new company's name does not reflect the merger with Horsham. The Hahn part of TrizecHahn came from California developer Ernie Hahn, who sold his portfolio to Trizec years ago.
Clark Refining & Marketing Inc. acquired by Horsham Corporation. National Petroleum News; 11/1/1988: By the end of this month a Federal Court will rule whether Toronto-based Horsham Corp. can finalize the takeover of Clark Oil & Refining Co., the Midwest marketing subsidiary of bankrupt Apex Oil Co. In an unusually complicated deal, Horsham will pay unsecured creditors of Clark Off $396-million. Under the proposed sale, Horsham would buy Clark-which represents three-quarters of Apex's book value-and other holdings of bankrupt Apex for $650-million in cash. Currently, Clark owns a chain of mostly self service stations and two refineries in Illinois.

Montgomery Ward (M) merged with Container Corporation of America (CNR) in 1968 to become Marcor Inc., the new parent company of CCA and Montgomery Ward. CCA became a division of Mobil Corporation in 1974 when Mobil acquired 54% voting shares of Marcor Inc. Jefferson Smurfit (JS) Group founded in Dublin, Ireland in 1935; In 1983 JS Group reorganizes its operations in the U.S. and becomes Jefferson Smurfit Corporation (JSC). Mobil sold CCA in 1986, with JSC acquiring 50%, and the other 50% going to Morgan Stanley Leveraged Equity Fund (MSLEF)-II. JSC reorganizes as a private company in 1989, 50% owned by JS Group and 50% owned by MSLEF-II. As part of the restructuring, JSC acquired the remainder of CCA. In 1994, JSC recapitalized as a publicly traded company. JCS and Stone Container Corporation (SCC) merge 11/18/1998 to become Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation. J.H.

CVS 9 CVS CORP

JCP 9 PENNEY (JC) CO INC
On July 31, 2004, the Company closed on the sale of its Eckerd drugstore operations for a total of approximately $4.7 billion in cash proceeds that included a $209 million adjustment for the estimated increase in Eckerd's working capital from January 31, 2004 to July 31, 2004. After deducting taxes, fees and other transaction costs, and estimated post-closing adjustments, the ultimate net cash proceeds from the sale are expected to total approximately $3.5 billion. As previously reported, The Jean Coutu Group (PJC) Inc. (Coutu) acquired Eckerd drugstores and support facilities located in 13 Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states, as well as the Eckerd Home Office located in Florida. CVS Corporation and CVS Pharmacy, Inc. (collectively, CVS) acquired Eckerd drugstores and support facilities located in the remaining southern states, principally Florida and Texas, as well as Eckerd's pharmacy benefits management, mail order and specialty pharmacy businesses. Proceeds from the sale will be used for common stock repurchases and debt reduction, as announced on August 2, 2004 and more fully discussed under Capital Structure Repositioning on pages 28-29.
The loss on the sale was $713 million pre-tax, or $1,433 million on an after-tax basis. The relatively high tax cost is a result of the tax basis of Eckerd being lower than its book basis because the Company's previous drugstore acquisitions were largely tax-free transactions. Of the total after-tax loss on the sale, $1,402 million had been recorded through the first quarter of 2004 to reflect Eckerd at its estimated fair value less costs to sell, and during the second quarter of 2004, the remaining $31 million was recorded to reflect revised estimates of certain post-closing adjustments and resulting sales proceeds.
Additionally, $3.4 billion of the present value of lease obligations (PVOL), which was an off-balance sheet obligation under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), was eliminated with the transfer of these leases to Coutu and CVS upon the closing of the sale.
April 5, 2004: J.C. Penney Co. announced Monday it agreed to sell its long-struggling drugstore chain Eckerd for $4.5 billion, splitting the sale of the division between CVS and Canadian drugstore chain Jean Coutu Group. According to the details of the deal, CVS, the No. 2 drugstore chain will acquire about 1,260 stores, principally in Florida and Texas, for about $21. billion. The Jean Coutu Group will acquire 1,539 stores located in northeast and mid-Atlantic states, as well as the Eckerd Home Office in Florida, for

SUMMARY: 10/11/00: Grand Union Co. (GUCO) has received interim court approval of its $60
million debtor-in-possession financing facility, according to a Form 8-K filed Thursday with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Newark, N.J. approved the agreement at a hearing on which the supermarket operator filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for the third time since 1995. (ABI 09-Oct-00)
(1) February 16, 1995 -- Grand Union Capital Corp. announced today that it had filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware a consent to the entry of an order for relief on the involuntary Chapter 11 petition which had been filed against it in that court on Feb. 6, 1995, thereby commencing a voluntary Chapter 11 case. A company spokesperson noted that, following the entry of the order for relief, the company expects to file a plan of Reorganization and a Disclosure Statement within the time provided by applicable law. The company's wholly-owned subsidiary, The Grand Union Co., filed a Plan of Reorganization and related Disclosure Statement in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on Feb. 6, 1995. The company's sole stockholder, Grand Union Holdings Corp., filed a voluntary Chapter 11 petition in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware today.

The face amount of Grand Union's 11 1/4% Senior Notes, due 2000, and
its 11 3/8% Senior Notes, due 1999, plus accrued but unpaid interest
and interest on overdue interest as of June 15, 1995, will be

1/4% Senior Notes and approximately 112.792720% of the face amount of
the 11 3/8% Senior Notes. Grand Union said it expects that its securities will
be listed for trading on a national exchange.
So, what happened to the proposed Reorg Sr. Notes due 2004?
April 19, 1995--The Grand Union Company announced today that it has filed its Second Amended Chapter 11 Plan and corresponding Disclosure Statement. The amended Plan incorporates a settlement with, among others, the official creditors committee of Grand Union's parent, Grand Union Capital Corporation (GUCC). The settlement provides, among other things, for two series of warrants to be issued under the Plan to holders of GUCC Zero Coupon notes.
(2) 1998: Even as it has secured $300 million in new financing, Grand Union Co. faces opposition to its reorganization plan from an investment group with ties to General Electric Co. and Roy Disney. "We have repeatedly advised you that we do not consent to the company's proposed recapitalization," the group said in a copy of the letter filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. "We intend to take any and all actions that may prove to be necessary to enforce our rights," it said. Meanwhile, five of Grand Union's 11 directors resigned. No successors were named.
Grand Union's Plan of Reorganization was confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Newark, N.J., on August 5, following overwhelming support from the company's Senior Noteholders and Preferred Stockholders in a consent solicitation completed on June 22, 1998.
6/1/04 the Grand Union 12 '04 were trading for 58- 59. On 8/19/98: Grocer Grand Union Co.'s (GUCO) 12% bonds plunged 2 3/4 points to 56.25-57 in Monday's trading, after the company announced its emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and the completion of its previously announced restructuring. As widely reported, the reorganization plan was confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court on August 5, after the firm got support from its senior noteholders and preferred stockholders in a consent solicitation completed June 22. Grand Union's old senior notes, preferred stock, common stock, and Series 1 and 2 warrants have been cancelled, and new notes, warrants, preferred and common stock, and warrants will be issued and traded under the symbols GUCOV and GUCLV.
(3) Grand Union filed a voluntary chapter 11 petition in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Newark, New Jersey on October 3, 2000, with the stated intention to facilitate the planned sale of the Company and provide for additional funding during the sale process. Still trying to get over 1995. Now Grand Union Co. (GUCO.PK); Public Company (Formerly Nasdaq) CEO: Gary M. Philbin. Grand Union Co. (OTCBB: GUCO), the Wayne, N.J.-based supermarket chain with several local stores, has filed a petition for Chapter 11 reorganization in U.S. Bankruptcy Court. (October 3, 2000). The company said it had made the filing to ease the way for a planned sale of the company and to provide for additional funding during the sale process. Grand Union also said it has obtained a $60 million debtor-in-possession financing commitment from Lehman Commercial Paper Inc., one of its existing lenders. Upon court approval, the funds will be available to meet ongoing needs and make prompt payment to vendors for goods and services. Employees will continue to be paid in the normal manner.
Spends most of 2000 selling off stores....3/6/01 announced that it has completed the sale of substantially all of its assets and business to GU Markets, LLC, an affiliate of C&S Wholesale Grocers, Inc., and other third party purchasers. 12/11/05: In reviewing the asset sale agreement between Grand Union and C&S and the conduct of the bankruptcy auction on November 16, 2000, the Court found that the Company had met the good faith requirements of the Bankruptcy Code in conducting its sale and also found "no substance to the A&P objection." The Court has scheduled a hearing for Friday, December 8, 2000 to address landlord and other occupancy issues relating to the C&S Asset Sale Agreement.

HCA was formed by Thomas Frist, Sr.; Thomas Frist, Jr.; and Jack Massey in 1968 and is headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee.
COLUMBIA/HCA OVERVIEW (now called HCA)- THE FRAUD INVESTIGATION. The three parts give a broad view of Columbia/HCA's unsavoury conduct. Many of their unethical and antisocial practices were legal. The fraud investigations unearthed additional material. The finally paid US $1.7 billion but no one went to prison.
Columbia Healthcare was formed in July 1988 by Richard Scott, a lawyer and Richard Rainwater, a financier. It was formed in partnership with 120 physicians. It bought two hospitals in El Paso, Texas. In May 1990 it bought a laboratory company and listed on the stock exchange. In September 1993 Columbia merged with Galen Health Care which had earlier been spun off from Humana. It now owned 99 hospitals in the USA and internationally. It expanded its policy of selling ownership stakes to physicians in order to bind them to the corporations profit mission. In February 1994 Columbia merged with Hospital Corporation of America (HCA) to form Columbia/HCA, now a US $10 billion company. Scott becomes president and CEO. HCA's chairman and CEO Thomas Frist MD Jnr became vice chairman. Columbia/HCA now enjoyed the political support of the two Frist family US senators. A year later Scott moved the headquarters from Louisville to Nashville.
In April 1995 Columbia/HCA acquired Healthtrust for US $ 5.6 billion. McWhorter, Heathtrust's CEO became chairman but was later replaced by Scott. In a contentious purchase which divided the church Columbia/HCA acquired half of a Roman Catholic group in Cleveland in May 1995. During 1995 Columbia/HCA purchased or formed joint ventures with 33 not for profit hospitals.
In March 1996 Columbia moved to purchase the not for profit HMO's Blue Cross and Blue Shield. This was met with a public outcry. Columbia/HCA persisted in its efforts but when the FBI raided its hospitals in March 1997 it was forced to abandon the deal. In August 1996 the New England Journal of Medicine published two articles by Robert Kuttner attacking Columbia/HCA's business practices and its corporate philosophy. In October 1996 the 60 Minutes national TV program screened a hard hitting exposure of Columbia/HCA's practices.

Toy Biz, Inc.: name changed to Marvel Enterprises, Inc.
September 15, 1998. Toy Biz, Inc. (NYSE: TBZ) announced that at its Annual Meeting of Stockholders, held today, the two proposals relating to the acquisition by Toy Biz of Marvel Entertainment Group, Inc. were approved by holders of more than 90% of the outstanding shares of Toy Biz. These proposals provide for: (i) certain amendments to Toy Biz' certificate of incorporation, including, among other things, the reclassification of the existing two classes of common stock of Toy Biz into one class of common stock, the authorization of additional shares of preferred stock, and the change in the name of Toy Biz to "Marvel Enterprises Inc., and (ii) the issuance by Toy Biz of certain securities to effectuate its combination with Marvel. Each of these actions will take effect upon the acquisition of Marvel which is expected to occur in late September or early October, pursuant to the revised plan of reorganization for Marvel proposed by Toy Biz. As previously announced by Toy Biz, the revised plan of reorganization provides for the combination of Toy Biz and Marvel by merging Marvel with a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of Toy Biz. In the merger, each outstanding share of Marvel common stock will be canceled. Outstanding shares of Toy Biz common stock will remain outstanding after the merger. Shareholders also approved the re- election of ten members of Toy Biz' Board of Directors as well as the continuation of Ernst & Young as the Toy Biz' independent accountants.
(In case DirecTV, According to Joel A. Waite, Esq., at Young, Conaway, Stargatt & Taylor, LLP, in Wilmington, Delaware, Raven Media Investments, LLC, demands that the Court exercise the drastic and extraordinary remedy of appointing a Chapter 11 trustee or, alternatively, appointing an examiner for the Debtor, reported 8/1/2003)
In the Third Circuit, "the appointment of a trustee is the exception, rather than the rule." Sharon Steel, 871 F.2d at 1225; see also Marvel Enter. Group, Inc., 140 F.3d at 470.
In Marvel, the Third Circuit affirmed the appointment of a
Trustee by the district court where bondholders, led by
financier Carl Ichan, acquired control of the debtor-in-
possession six months after the bankruptcy case was
initiated and were unable to make any significant progress
towards Marvel's reorganization. The district court
believed that there was an "unhealthy conflict of
interest" based on the "deep-seeded conflict and animosity
between the Ichan-controlled debtor and the Lenders and in
the lack of confidence all creditors had in the Ichan
interests' ability to act as fiduciaries." Marvel, 140
F.3d at 472.
The Marvel case is wholly distinguishable from DirecTV's
case. Most notably, the Third Circuit did not apply the
usual presumption against appointing a Trustee because the
debtor-in-possession acquired control of the company
postpetition by buying claims against the estate and did
not possess the "usual familiarity with the business". In
contrast, the debtor-in-possession in DirecTV's case, has
managed the Debtor's business from its inception. Hughes
was one of the original investors in the business and has
always controlled the Debtor's board. No party has ever
alleged that the Debtor's management has engaged in
misconduct or fraud, and the causes of the Debtor's
financial distress have largely been outside management's
control.
2/5/98. In the bankruptcy cases In re Marvel Holdings, Inc., and Marvel (Parent) Holdings Inc., the law firm of Skadden Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, representing Ronald O. Perelman, Mafco Holdings Inc., MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings Inc., Andrews Group Incorporated, William C. Bevins and Donald G. Drapin, wrote a letter to Judge McKelvie asking that the settlement proposed by Marvel Holding, Inc., Marvel Holdings Inc. and LaSalle National Bank, as successor indenture Trustee be heard on March 16, 1998, since at that time there will be greater clarity as to Marvel Entertainment's future particularly with respect to the value of Marvel Entertainment stock.
Bankruptcy News For May 14, 1997.
NEW YORK, NY --May 14, 1997--The Official Committee of Bondholders of Marvel Holdings, Inc., Marvel (Parent) Holdings, Inc. and Marvel III Holdings, Inc. ("Bondholders' Committee") announced today that a Federal Judge has granted their appeal, permitting them to vote the majority of Marvel Entertainment Group, Inc. (NYSE: MRV) Common Stock securing the bonds to change the Marvel Board of Directors, effective May 23, 1997. "This is a tremendous victory for the bondholders, the public equity holders and all other parties interested in seeing Marvel emerge from Chapter 11 and return to profitability," said David M. Friedman of Kasowitz, Benson, Torres & Friedman LLP, attorneys for the Bondholders' Committee. "As soon as the bondholders oust the lame-duck Marvel Board, former Marvel executive Joseph Calamari will head-up a transition team committed to turning Marvel's business around. We will now set our sights on obtaining court approval of our disclosure statement so we can distribute our plan to creditors and stockholders and continue to move toward confirmation."
U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Helen S. Balick has set a disclosure statement hearing for June 16, 1997 to consider the Joint Plan of reorganization for Marvel Entertainment proposed by the Bondholders' Committee together with Marvel Holdings, Inc. on April 29. Upon approval of the disclosure statement by the Court, the Bondholders' Committee and Marvel Holdings intend to begin mailing the Joint Plan to creditors immediately.
The order under appeal enjoining the Bondholders' Committee and the indenture trustee from voting any of the pledged stock had been granted by the Delaware Bankruptcy Court on March 24, 1997 on the basis that relief from the automatic stay in the Marvel bankruptcy proceeding must precede any change of Marvel's Board of Directors. In the same ruling, Judge Balick had also ruled that members of the Bondholders' Committee and the indenture trustee could vote the Common Stock of Marvel Parent to change the Board of Directors of Marvel Holdings. The Bondholders Committee has since installed a new Board at Marvel Holdings, Inc., comprised of Mr. Carl C. Icahn, Mr. Robert Mitchel, treasurer of ACF Industries, Inc., and Mr. Vincent J. Intrieri, Portfolio Manager at Westgate International, L.P.
The Bondholders' Committee had notified Marvel Entertainment of its intention to vote its majority stake to elect a new Board of Marvel on March 21, 1997. The Bondholders' Committee proposed a Board consisting of nine members, seven selected by the Bondholders Committee and two to be selected by Marvel's Committee of Equity Security Holders (the "Equity Committee"). The members selected by the Bondholders Committee are as follows: Mr. Harold First, a specialist in entertainment accounting, Mr. Robert Mitchel, treasurer of ACF Industries, Inc., Mr. Carl C. Icahn, Mr. Juoko T. Tamminen, Vice President of Icahn Associates, Mr. J. Winston Fowlkes III, co-founder Voyager Communications, a publisher of Action Adventure Comics and a former Vice President of Time Warner Communications, Mr. Vincent J. Intrieri, Portfolio Manager at Westgate International, L.P., and Charles K. MacDonald, a private investor who is a director of Biotechnology General Corp. and LIVE Entertainment Inc., a movie production company.
The Bondholders' Committee, which represents the owners of $894 million in bonds secured against approximately 80% of the equity in Marvel Entertainment, had opposed the original reorganization plan proposed by Marvel Entertainment, which Marvel Entertainment has since withdrawn.
1994: RONALD O. PERELMAN (51) has been Chairman of the Board and Director of the Company (NATIONAL HEALTH LABORATORIES INCORPORATED) since 1988. Mr. Perelman has been Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of MacAndrews & Forbes for more than the past five years.

6/8/01: The troubled home improvement retailer filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection June 4, listing $553 million in assets and $473 million in liabilities. Payless has struggled to reorganize since it emerged from a fast-track Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization in 1997. The company was in and out of bankruptcy protection in a little more than four months -- too fast to get its finances in order and close unprofitable stores, analysts said. The 1997 bankruptcy filing resulted from $600 million in debt the company struggled to pay from a 1987 leveraged buyout. Payless sought to buy a large chunk of its stock from principals of Kansas City-based Sutherland Lumber Co. that year, a move that originally saddled Payless with $1.3 billion in debt. Payless whittled its debt down to $314 million at the end of the 2001 first quarter. But sales continued to spiral downward because of an unusually harsh winter, a slowing economy and depressed lumber prices, Payless spokeswoman Marla Holbert said.
On July 21, 1997 (the "Petition Date"), the Company commenced a reorganization
case (the "Case") by filing a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11, Title 11 of the United States Code ("Chapter 11") in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Missouri in Kansas City (the "Court"). On the Petition Date, the Company filed a Disclosure Statement and a Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") with the Court. The Plan, as amended, became effective December 2, 1997 (the "Effective Date"). Under the Plan, the Company reincorporated as a Delaware corporation and canceled outstanding shares of common and preferred stock and issued approximately 20,000,000 shares of newly
reorganized Payless Cashways, Inc. (the "Reorganized Company") common stock (the "New Common Stock"), as described below.
1997 plan: ...claims in respect of the 9-1/8% senior subordinated notes ... are receiving their pro rata share of 8,269,329 shares of New Common Stock or approximately 41% of the shares of the newly reorganized Company.

In January 2003, we (7-11) entered into a note purchase agreement with SEJ that authorized the issuance and sale of up to $400 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Subordinated Notes due 2010 (“SEJ Notes’), which we issued and SEJ purchased in multiple tranches. The SEJ Notes are subordinate to all obligations outstanding under our revolving credit facility. On January 10, 2003, we received $100 million from SEJ under the note purchase agreement; the interest rate on this tranche is 3.41%. On July 9, 2003, we received the remaining $300 million from SEJ under the note purchase agreement in three equal payments of $100 million; the interest rate on these tranches is 3.01%, 3.34%, and 3.71% respectively. We are required to repay the SEJ notes in eight semiannual installments beginning July 2006 and ending January 2010.
In July 2003, we used a portion of the proceeds of the SEJ Notes to retire $239.3 million principal amount of our 5% First Priority Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2003, $111.4 million principal amount of our 4½% Second Priority Senior Subordinated Debentures (Series A) due 2004 and $18.5 million principal amount of our 4% Second Priority Senior Subordinate Debentures (Series B) due 2004. Primarily as a result of including the SFAS No. 15 Interest in the carrying amount of the retired debt, we recognized a pretax gain of $10.5 million in connection with the retirement, which was recorded in OSG&A. During the period the Senior Subordinated Debentures were outstanding, we did not recognize interest expense on this debt. Because we recognize interest on the SEJ Notes, interest expense increased $8.1 million for 2003 and we expect an increase of approximately $14 million annually beginning in 2004. See “—Comparison of 2003 to 2002 Results—Interest Expense, Net.’
In September 2003, all of the outstanding 1998 Convertible Quarterly Income Debt Securities due 2013 (“1998 QUIDS’), which were issued to IY and SEJ, were converted into approximately 6.5 million shares of 7-Eleven common stock. The principal amount of the 1998 QUIDS was $80.0 million, and the interest rate was 4.5%. As a result of the conversion, which was mandatory under the terms of the 1998 QUIDS, our 2003 interest expense decreased by $1.1 million and our 2004 interest expense will decrease by $2.5 million.
7-Eleven: (from 2003 10k). We introduced the convenience store concept in 1927, when, as an ice company, our retail outlets began selling milk, bread and eggs. Today, we are the largest convenience store chain in the world. We operate, franchise or license nearly 26,000 stores worldwide. The name “7-Eleven®’ originated in 1946 when our stores were open from 7 a.m. until 11 p.m. Today, the majority of our stores in the United States and Canada provide more than 6 million daily customers with 24-hour convenience, seven days a week. Our stores generally range in size from 2,400 to 3,000 square feet and carry about 2,300 to 2,800 items. Please note that throughout this report, when we refer to “our stores,’ we mean our company- and franchisee-operated stores in the United States and our company-operated stores in Canada. Our principal executive offices are located at 2711 North Haskell Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75204. Our telephone number is 214/828-7011. We were incorporated in Texas in 1961 as the successor to an ice business organized in 1927. On April 30, 1999, we changed our name from The Southland Corporation to 7-Eleven, Inc. Our Internet address is www.7-Eleven.com.

BUT: It was an asset purchase completed in 2001, so no debt here...
Had to testify to Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, 2/1/01 to get approval for the asset sale. They claimed no other airlie was interested in them as a going concern.

The asset purchase agreement includes TWA´s jet aircraft as well as numerous routes and gates throughout the TWA system and significant maintenance facilities. The agreement will protect air service in St. Louis and maintain St. Louis´s role as a major transportation center. The agreement also calls for American to offer employment to almost all of TWA´s 20,000 employees. TWA currently operates approximately 190 aircraft and approximately 800 daily flights. Concurrently, TWA said today that it and certain subsidiaries had voluntarily filed petitions in the U.S. District Court in Wilmington, Delaware for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In order for the agreement with American to go forward, TWA also filed a motion seeking the Court´s approval of an asset purchase agreement with American pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code.

American Airlines History.
-------------------------
(see http://www.aa.com/content/amrcorp/corporateInformation/ facts/history.jhtml)
On the morning of April 15, 1926, a young aviator named Charles A. Lindbergh stowed a bag of mail in his little DH-4 biplane and took off from Chicago for St. Louis. Later that day, he and two other pilots flew three plane loads of mail from St. Louis to Chicago. At the time, Lindbergh was chief pilot of Robertson Aircraft Corporation of Missouri, which was the second aviation company to hold a U.S. airmail contract. It was one of scores of companies that eventually consolidated to form the modern-day American Airlines.
... Airline deregulation took place in 1978 and in January 1979, American launched a major route expansion, inaugurating service to new routes and new destinations across the U.S. and the Caribbean. American moved its headquarters from New York City to Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas in 1979. The new headquarters complex also included The Learning Center, a training facility; the Flight Academy, the pilot training facility, and the Southern Reservations Office. In 1980, Robert L. Crandall was elected president and chief operating officer.
By 1987, American had completed an underground facility -- secured against fire, earthquakes and any other disasters -- in Tulsa, Okla. to house the SABRE computer equipment and software that formed the world's largest private real-time computer network and travel information data base. Also in 1987, SABRE became available via the personal computer. .. In 1993, AMR Corporation formed the SABRE Technology Group. It included AMR Information Services (AMRIS), SABRE Travel Information Network (STIN), SABRE Computer Services (SCS), SABRE Development Services (SDS), and AMR Project Consulting and Risk Assessment Units.
On January 16, 1992, American opened the first state-of-the-art airline maintenance facility to be built in the United States in more than 20 years - the Alliance Maintenance and Engineering Base at Fort Worth's Alliance Airport.
In January 2001, American's first aircraft featuring bigger overhead storage bins took to the skies. Also, American announced that it had agreed to purchase substantially all the assets of Trans World Airlines, Inc. In April 2001, American Airlines completed acquisition of TWA's assets.
