Item 1.03. Bankruptcy or Receivership.
Combined Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation and Disclosure Statement of Legacy IMBDS, Inc. and its Debtor Affiliates
As previously disclosed, on June 28, 2023, Legacy IMBDS, Inc. (f/k/a iMedia Brands, Inc.) (“Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) seeking relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code. The Chapter 11 Cases are being administered under the caption In re: Legacy IMBDS, Inc., et. al. (Case No. 23-10852).
On February 21, 2024, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the Debtors’ Combined Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation and Disclosure Statement of Legacy IMBDS, Inc. and its Debtor Affiliates (including all exhibits and plan supplements thereto, collectively the “Plan”), as revised and filed with the Bankruptcy Court on December 20, 2023. A copy of the Confirmation Order is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The Plan will be effective as of a date (the “Effective Date”) to be determined. It is currently anticipated that the Effective Date will occur in the first calendar quarter of 2024.
The following is a summary of the material terms of the Plan. This summary describes only certain substantive provisions of the Plan and is not intended to be a complete description of the Plan. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Confirmation Order and the Plan, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2, respectively, and incorporated in this Item 1.03 by reference. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Current Report on Form 8-K have the meanings given to them in the Plan.
Legacy IMBDS Liquidating Trust
On the Effective Date, the Liquidating Trust will be established for the primary purpose of liquidating its assets, pursuing the Retained Causes of Action, reconciling and objecting to Claims, and making distributions to the Beneficiaries who are the Holders of Allowed Unsecured Claims in Class 4. The Liquidating Trust Assets include: (a) cash funding in the amount of $1,500,000; (b) all Retained Causes of Action; (c) the Debtors’ rights under the Purchase Agreement; and (d) all other assets of the Debtors or of the Estates existing on the Effective Date, excluding, in each case, Cash held in the Professional Fee Escrow Account. The Liquidating Trust Assets, including any recovery from the prosecution of the Retained Causes of Action, if any, will be distributed in accordance with the Plan, the Confirmation Order, and the Bankruptcy Code.
U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association will serve as the liquidating trustee of the Liquidating Trust (the “Liquidating Trustee”) and administer the Liquidating Trust pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Liquidating Trust Agreement, the Plan, the Sale Order, and the Confirmation Order. A three-member liquidating trust committee created under the Liquidating Trust Agreement will provide oversight and direction to the Liquidating Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Liquidating Trust Agreement.
Treatment of Claims
The confirmed Plan creates eight classes of Claims against and Interests in the Debtors. Holders of Allowed Claims in Class 1 (Secured Tax Claims) will (i) be paid by the Debtors or the Liquidating Trustee from the Secured Claims Reserve in accordance with the terms of the Plan or (ii) receive such other treatment rendering such Holder’s Allowed Secured Tax Claim Unimpaired. Holders of Allowed Claims in Class 2 (Other Secured Claims) will (i) be paid by the Debtors or the Liquidating Trustee from the Secured Claims Reserve in accordance with the terms of the Plan, (ii) receive collateral securing such Holder’s Allowed Other Secured Claim as of the Petition Date or the value of such collateral, or (iii) receive such other treatment rendering such Holder’s Allowed Other Secured Claim Unimpaired. Holders of Allowed Claims in Class 3 (Other Priority Claims) will (i) be paid by the Debtors or the Liquidating Trustee from the Priority Claims Reserve in accordance with the terms of the Plan or (ii) receive such other treatment rendering such Holder’s Allowed Other Priority Claim Unimpaired. Holders of Allowed Claims in Class 4 (Unsecured Claims) will receive a beneficial interest in the Liquidating Trust entitling such Holder to a Pro Rata share of the Unsecured Claims Distribution Proceeds, if any. On the Effective Date, each Holder of Allowed Claims in Class 5 (Intercompany Claims) and each Holder of Interests in Class 7 (Intercompany Interests), in each case, shall either have its Claim or Interest reinstated or canceled, released, and extinguished at the option of the Liquidating Trustee. Holders of Allowed Intercompany Claims and Intercompany Interests therefore will not receive any distribution on account of such Claims or Interests. Allowed Claims in Class 6 (Section 510(b) Claims), if any, will be canceled, released, and extinguished as of the Effective Date, and Holders of Allowed Section 510(b) Claims will not receive any distribution on account of such Claims. Finally, Interests in Class 8 (Interests in Legacy IMBDS) will be canceled, released, and extinguished as of the Effective Date, and Holders of Interests in Legacy IMBDS will not receive any distribution on account of such Interests.
As of February 21, 2024, there are 31,644,860 issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to the confirmed Plan, holders of the Company’s common stock will not receive any distribution on account of such equity interests, and the Company’s common stock will be canceled, released, and extinguished as of the Effective Date, and will be of no further force or effect. No shares of the Company’s common stock are reserved for future issuance in respect of claims and interests filed and allowed under the confirmed Plan.
For information regarding the Company’s assets and liabilities, please reference the monthly operating reports filed with the Bankruptcy Court on February 2, 2024. Information regarding the assets and liabilities of the Debtors and its subsidiaries that was filed with the Bankruptcy Court may be found at https://cases.stretto.com/imediabrands and is incorporated herein by reference.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease (i) that has been, or will be, assumed pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or (ii) relating to a Claim that was paid in full prior to the Effective Date, shall be terminated or canceled on the Effective Date.

Forward-Looking Statements
This document may contain certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
