This conference will include:

In the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 (BAPCPA), Congress created a new priority for claims of vendors that supply goods to debtors in the 20-day period immediately prior to the debtor's bankruptcy filing

What seemed to be a minor revision to the Code, section §503(b)(9) has had an impact, both intended and unintended, that has greatly shifted the dynamic between debtors and their suppliers in a number of interesting, untested and unexpected ways.

Invest in this Audio CD (Recorded May 2007) and listen as Jeff Ellman and Ryan Routh of Jones Day focus upon the various aspects and interesting issues that have since been raised by this new priority.

They discuss:

· An analysis of the language of section 503(b)(9) and the potential issues to be litigated in connection with this provision
· Timing of payment of Twenty Day Claims.
· Recent judicial decisions interpreting the provision.
· Treatment of such claims in recent large chapter 11 cases, including application of bar date provisions to Twenty Day Claims
· A number of other consequences of the enactment of section 503(b)(9), including the impact on preference litigation, critical vendor relief and claims trading.
· Practice pointers relating to Twenty Day Claims

Jeff Ellman, partner, oversees the business restructuring and reorganization practice in Jones Day's Atlanta Office of Jones Day. Jeff's practice focuses primarily on corporate bankruptcy, restructuring, bankruptcy litigation, and other insolvency-related matters. Jeff has played an active role in the Firm's representation of debtors, secured lenders, asset purchasers, creditors' committees, and other parties in interest in large corporate restructurings, including representations of debtors in the chapter 11 cases of Dana Corporation, NexPak Corporation, World Kitchen, LTV Steel Company, Purina Mills, Montgomery Ward & Co., Fruehauf Trailer Corporation, The Elder-Beerman Stores Corp., Baldwin Builders, and Rax Restaurants. Other matters include representation of: Federated Department Stores as the purchaser of R.H. Macy & Co. in its chapter 11 case; International Steel Group as the purchaser of substantially all of the assets of Weirton Steel and Georgetown Steel in their chapter 11 cases; Wachovia Bank, N.A. as agent for the secured lender group in the Horizon PCS chapter 11 cases; International Paper Company as the largest unsecured creditor and a major contract party in the chapter 11 case of Androscoggin Energy; USX Corporation as the largest unsecured creditor in the Republic Technologies International cases. Jeff also has provided insolvency-related advice to Firm clients in litigation and transactional contexts and has participated in out-of-court restructurings on behalf of a variety of parties. In addition, he counsels clients on fraudulent conveyance, illegal dividend, preferential transfer, fiduciary duty, and corporate formalities issues and has represented entities in the related structuring and consummation of spin-offs, recapitalizations, and other corporate transactions.
	Ryan Routh Jones Day
Ryan Routh, Associate, joined Jones Day in early 1999 and has worked exclusively in the Firm's Business Restructuring and Reorganization practice, focusing on corporate bankruptcy, restructuring, and other insolvency-related matters. Ryan's practice primarily focuses on the representation of debtors in large chapter 11 cases. He has significant experience in chapter 11 debtor representations and has developed particular know-how in claims matters and related litigation. Ryan has most recently been involved as debtor's counsel in the chapter 11 cases of Dana Corporation, NexPak Corporation, LTV Steel Company, and Alderwoods Group (f/k/a Loewen Group International). In addition, Ryan has experience in the representation of bank groups, unsecured creditors, contract parties, purchasers of assets, and defendants in avoidance actions in some of the nation's largest bankruptcy cases, including those of United Airlines, US Airways, 360networks, and Metricom. In connection with such nondebtor representations, Ryan has represented CIT Group/Business Credit, National City Bank and its affiliates, and Marconi Communications. He also has experience representing clients in out-of-court restructurings and liquidations and in involuntary bankruptcy cases. These representations have made Ryan familiar with virtually all aspects of modern bankruptcy practice. Ryan was selected as an "Ohio Rising Star" by Law & Politics in 2006 and is a member of the Ohio State Bar Association and the Cleveland Bar Association.
