Debtors. Chapter 11 Case No. 13-13087 (KG) (Jointly Administered) Hearing Date: June 9, 2014, at 3:00 p.m. (ET) Objection Deadline: May 2, 2014, at 4:00 p.m. (ET) MOTION OF THE DEBTORS FOR ENTRY OF AN ORDER AUTHORIZING THE DEBTORS TO AUTHORIZE THE DISSOLUTION OF FISKER AUTOMOTIVE GMBH The above-captioned debtors (collectively, the “Debtors”) file this motion (this “Motion”) for entry of an order (an “Order”), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, authorizing, but not directing, the Debtors to take steps necessary or advisable to change the corporate name and to authorize the dissolution of Fisker Automotive GmbH (“Fisker GmbH”) under applicable law, including by approving the resolution substantially in the form attached to the Order as Exhibit 1, and authorizing the Debtors to execute a power of attorney substantially in the form attached to the Order as Exhibit 2. In support of this Motion, the Debtors respectfully state as follows: Jurisdiction 1. The United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Court”) has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334 and the Amended 1 The Debtors, together with the last four digits of each Debtor’s federal tax identification number, are: FAH Liquidating Corp. (f/k/a Fisker Automotive Holdings, Inc.) (9678); and FA Liquidating Corp. (f/k/a Fisker Automotive, Inc.) (9075). For the purpose of these chapter 11 cases, the service address for the Debtors is: 3080 Airway Avenue, Costa Mesa, California 92626. KE 30742862 Case 13-13087-KG Doc 796 Filed 04/16/14 Page 2 of 7 Standing Order of Reference from the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, dated February 29, 2012. This matter is a core proceeding within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2), and the Court may enter a final order consistent with Article III of the United States Constitution. 2. Venue is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409. 3. The statutory basis for the relief requested herein is section 363 of title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101–1532 (the “Bankruptcy Code”). Relief Requested 4. By this Motion, the Debtors seek entry of: (a) the Order, and (b) such other relief as is just and proper. Background 5. On November 22, 2013 (the “Petition Date”), each of the Debtors filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors are operating their businesses and managing their properties as debtors in possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. On November 26, 2013, the Court entered an order [Docket No. 52] authorizing the joint administration and procedural consolidation of these chapter 11 cases pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 1015(b). No request for the appointment of a trustee or examiner has been made in these chapter 11 cases. On December 5, 2013, the United States Trustee for the District of Delaware (the “U.S. Trustee”) appointed an official committee of unsecured creditors pursuant to section 1102 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Committee”) [Docket No. 102]. Fisker Automotive GmbH 6. Fisker GmbH, a non-Debtor in these cases, is a wholly owned subsidiary of FA Liquidating Corp. (f/k/a Fisker Automotive, Inc.) (“Fisker Automotive”) organized under the 2 KE 30742862 Case 13-13087-KG Doc 796 Filed 04/16/14 Page 3 of 7 laws of Germany. Fisker GmbH had only one office, which was located in Munich, Germany. Fisker GmbH was originally formed to provide international sales and marketing services in connection with the Debtors’ operations. Fisker GmbH employed approximately six individuals in its Munich office. As set forth more fully in the Declaration of Marc Beilinson in Support of First Day Motions [Docket No. 3], in the months leading up to the Debtors’ chapter 11 cases, Fisker GmbH’s operations were wound down, and, as of the Petition Date, Fisker GmbH had no active operations. Fisker GmbH currently holds only de minimis assets, consisting primarily of approximately €75,000 in cash held in a bank account owned by Fisker GmbH. 7. On February 19, 2014, the Court entered an order authorizing the sale of substantially all the Debtors’ assets. See [Docket No. 653] (the “Sale Order”). The Acquired Assets (as defined in the Sale Order) do not include the Debtors’ interests in Fisker GmbH. The Debtors have an interest in ensuring that “Fisker” and similar trademarked names are not used by third parties unaffiliated with the Acquired Assets, as the Buyers (as defined in the Sale Order) acquired the rights to these trademarks pursuant to the Sale Order. In addition, the Debtors have an interest in ensuring that neither Fisker GmbH nor any successors (including, notably, any potential bankruptcy trustee) can assert claims, in future, against the Debtors’ estates. Although the Debtors do not believe there are any material liabilities outstanding at Fisker GmbH, the Debtors, out of an abundance of caution, seek authorization from the Court to: (a) undertake steps necessary to change the name of Fisker GmbH to “FA Liquidation GmbH” and approve the formal dissolution of Fisker GmbH in accordance with the resolution substantially in the form annexed as Exhibit 1 to the proposed Order attached hereto as Exhibit A; and (b) authorize counsel to the Debtors to facilitate the name change and dissolution in accordance with the 3 KE 30742862 Case 13-13087-KG Doc 796 Filed 04/16/14 Page 4 of 7 power of attorney substantially in the form annexed as Exhibit 2 to the proposed Order attached hereto as Exhibit A. Basis for Relief 8. Section 363(b) of the Bankruptcy Code provides, in relevant part, that a debtor, “after notice and a hearing, may use, sell, or lease, other than in the ordinary course of business, property of the estate.” 11 U.S.C. § 363(b)(1). Although section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code does not set forth a standard for determining when use of property of the estate out of the ordinary course of business should be authorized, courts in the Third Circuit generally authorize the debtor to use its sound business judgment when making such decisions. See In re Martin, 91 F.3d 389, 395 (3d Cir. 1996); In re Montgomery Ward Holding Corp., 242 B.R. 147, 153 (D. Del. 1999); In re Del. & Hudson Ry. Co., 124 B.R. 169, 176 (D. Del. 1991). 9. If a valid business justification exists for the use of property of the estate, a debtor’s decision to use property out of the ordinary course of business enjoys a strong presumption that in making a business decision the directors acted on an informed basis, in good faith, and in an honest belief that the action taken was in the best interests of the company. See In re Integrated Res., Inc., 147 B.R. 650, 656 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1992) (quoting Smith v. Van Gorkom, 488 A.2d 858, 872 (Del. 1985)); In re Bridgeport Holdings, Inc., 388 B.R. 548, 567 (Bankr. D. Del. 2008). 10. The Debtors respectfully submit that authorizing a change in the corporate name and dissolution of Fisker GmbH is a sound exercise of their business judgment. Changing Fisker GmbH’s corporate name ensures the name “Fisker” will not be used outside the Acquired Assets, ensuring the Buyers retain the benefit of the bargain under the Agreement (as defined in the Sale Order). Further, dissolving the non-operating Fisker GmbH is necessary to eliminate the Debtors’ risk of liability under German insolvency law. Specifically, if unanticipated future 4 KE 30742862 Case 13-13087-KG Doc 796 Filed 04/16/14 Page 5 of 7 liabilities arose that Fisker GmbH could not satisfy or that would render Fisker GmbH insolvent, Fisker GmbH’s managing director—or if none then exists, then Fisker Automotive, as sole shareholder—would have an immediate obligation to seek commencement of bankruptcy proceedings over the Fisker GmbH estate in Germany. This would result in appointment of a German trustee with broad powers, including the power to pursue avoidance and veil-piercing actions against the Debtors. Moreover, the dissolution of Fisker GmbH will eliminate potential future administrative burdens and expenses associated with maintaining corporate status under German law, including obligations to publish annual reports, file tax returns, and pay yearly fees to the German Chamber of Industry and Commerce. Accordingly, the Debtors, in their sound business judgment, believe that changing Fisker GmbH’s corporate name and dissolving Fisker GmbH are in the best interests of their estate, and respectfully request that the Court authorize the Debtors to authorize the proposed change in the corporate name and the proposed dissolution of Fisker GmbH pursuant to section 363(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. 11. Finally, to avoid the need for Fisker Automotive’s corporate representative to appear in person in Munich to dissolve Fisker GmbH, the Debtors respectfully request that the Court authorize the Debtors to authorize their counsel to appear on their behalf to seek formal dissolution of Fisker GmbH before a German notary. The Debtors believe this is in the best interests of their estates as it avoids the costs and expense of associated travel and accommodation, and respectfully request that the Court authorize the Debtors to execute a power of attorney substantially in the form attached to the Order as Exhibit 2.
