This episode covers key developments in four major restructuring and bankruptcy cases:
Hawthorne Race Course, North America’s oldest family-owned racetrack, files for Chapter 11 in Illinois while pursuing a Section 363 sale of substantially all assets. The filing follows frozen bank accounts, the loss of a key sportsbook partner, and a sharp drop in wagering deposits, with the company securing $16 million in DIP financing and prioritizing purse payments to horsemen as it works to preserve its racing license and casino rights.
FlexShopper seeks emergency approval of a Transition Services Agreement with ReadySett, the court-approved buyer of its assets, to ensure a seamless servicing transfer of its loan portfolio following a sale targeted to close in early March.
Paragon Industries, an Oklahoma steel pipe manufacturer, asks the court to approve a $40 million asset sale to Integrated Utility Services after a marathon auction process that drew seven bidders, excluding a controversial insider-linked bidder that failed to post a deposit.
And BRD Land and Investment, a Charlotte-based land developer, files for Chapter 11 citing a $390 million collapse in projected revenue after homebuilders canceled projects, along with allegations that its senior lender imposed aggressive fees and accelerated paydowns that strained liquidity.
💡 From racetracks and retail finance to industrial manufacturing and residential land development, this episode examines how lender disputes, failed growth projections, and sale-driven restructurings are shaping the latest wave of Chapter 11 cases.
