March 01, 2020

Bankruptcy and corporate restructurings continue to be active despite generally strong U.S. financial markets and broader macroeconomic conditions. Below is a brief overview of three recent and noteworthy bankruptcy decisions within the Third Circuit.

In re Exide Technologies

The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware recently denied debtor Exide Technologies' motion to reduce the maximum quarterly fees it is required to pay to the Office of the United States Trustee (U.S. Trustee). In re Exide Technologies, Case No. 13-11482 (Bankr. D. Del. Jan. 9, 2020).

Congress amended the quarterly fee statute in October 2017 so that a fee increase would take effect on Jan. 1, 2018. The amendment increased the maximum quarterly fees for Chapter 11 debtors making quarterly disbursements of over $1 million from $30,000 to $250,000. In Exide's case, its quarterly fees increased by approximately 800%.
