Release – Voyager Digital Commences Financial Restructuring Process to Maximize Value for All Stakeholders

Posted on by Admin

 


Voyager Digital Commences Financial Restructuring Process to Maximize Value for All Stakeholders

Research, News, and Market Data on Voyager Digital

Files Voluntary Petitions for Chapter 11
Protection to Implement Restructuring; Proposed Plan of Reorganization Creates
Efficient Path to Resume Account Access and Return Value to Customers

Voyager Has Approximately $1.3 Billion of
Crypto Assets on the Platform, More Than $350 Million of Cash Held in
the FBO Account for Customers at Metropolitan Commercial Bank, and Claims
Against Three Arrows Capital of More Than $650 Million1

NEW YORK, July 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ – Voyager Digital Ltd. (“Voyager” or the “Company”) (TSX: VOYG) (OTCQX: VYGVF) (FRA: UCD2), today announced that it has commenced a voluntary Chapter 11 process to maximize value for all stakeholders. As part of this process, the Company and its main operating subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court of the Southern District of New York (the “Court”). The Company intends to seek recognition of the Chapter 11 case of Voyager in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) pursuant to the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act.

“This comprehensive reorganization is the best way to protect assets on the platform and maximize value for all stakeholders, including customers,” said Stephen Ehrlich, Chief Executive Officer of Voyager. “Voyager’s platform was built to empower investors by providing access to crypto asset trading with simplicity, speed, liquidity, and transparency. While I strongly believe in this future, the prolonged volatility and contagion in the crypto markets over the past few months, and the default of Three Arrows Capital (“3AC”) on a loan from the Company’s subsidiary, Voyager Digital, LLC, require us to take deliberate and decisive action now. The chapter 11 process provides an efficient and equitable mechanism to maximize recovery.”

The proposed Plan of Reorganization (“Plan”) would, upon implementation, resume account access and return value to customers. Under this Plan, which is subject to change given ongoing discussions with other parties, and requires Court approval, customers with crypto in their account(s) will receive in exchange a combination of the crypto in their account(s), proceeds from the 3AC recovery, common shares in the newly reorganized Company, and Voyager tokens. The plan contemplates an opportunity for customers to elect the proportion of common equity and crypto they will receive, subject to certain maximum thresholds.

Customers with USD deposits in their account(s) will receive access to those funds after a reconciliation and fraud prevention process is completed with Metropolitan Commercial Bank.

The Company continues to evaluate all strategic alternatives to maximize value for stakeholders.

The Company has over $110 million of cash and owned crypto assets on hand, which will provide liquidity to support day-to-day operations during the Chapter 11 process, in addition to more than $350 million of cash held in the For Benefit of Customers (FBO) account at Metropolitan Commercial Bank. Voyager also has approximately $1.3 billion of crypto assets on its platform, plus claims against Three Arrows Capital (“3AC”) of more than $650 million.

Voyager previously announced that its subsidiary, Voyager Digital LLC, issued a notice of default to 3AC for failure to make the required payments on its previously disclosed loan of 15,250 BTC and $350 million USDC. Voyager is actively pursuing all available remedies for recovery from 3AC, including through the court-supervised processes in the British Virgin Islands and New York.

The Company also announced the appointment of a four new independent directors: Matthew Ray at Voyager Digital Ltd.; Scott Vogel at Voyager Digital Holdings, Inc.; and Jill Frizzley and Timothy Pohl at Voyager Digital LLC. Information regarding their backgrounds and relevant experience is included at the end of this release.

As part of the reorganization process, the Company will file customary “First Day” motions to allow it to maintain operations in the ordinary course. Voyager intends to pay its employees in the usual manner and continue their primary benefits and certain customer programs without disruption. The Company expects to receive court approval for all these routine requests. Trading, deposits, withdrawals and loyalty rewards on the Voyager platform remain temporarily suspended.

Parties with questions about the chapter 11 process may contact the Company’s Claims Agent, Stretto, at +1 (855) 473-8665 (toll-free in the U.S.) or +1 (949) 271-6507 (for parties outside the U.S.). They have also set up a website at 
http://cases.stretto.com/Voyager, which includes court documents and other information.

Energy Stock Investors Still in Very Interesting Sector

Monitoring the Gusher of Cross Currents in the Energy Industry

A plan from the White House to allow drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. Calls for a crude export ban. A Biden tweet asks companies running gas stations to drop prices. A proposed price cap on Russian oil. And OPEC-plus output is expected to remain steady. These are just some of the events impacting energy company stocks. Meanwhile, travel in the U.S. skyrocketed to levels not seen in years to kick off the summer vacation season. For their part, oil industry stocks, as measured by the XLE, are down 25% from their high a month ago (June 8), and are approaching their 200-day moving average. Is the cooling off in oil company stocks temporary? Could the recent sell-off attract dip buyers, and what is the overall health of the industry beyond the outside noise?

Selling Gulf Drilling Leases

On July 1, in a disappointment to some environmental groups, the Biden administration made two moves to open public lands to fossil fuel extraction. The administration held its first onshore lease sales, and it released a proposal for offshore drilling that could open parts of the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska’s Cook Inlet to leasing through 2028.

Oil industry officials said the action would do little to help counter high energy prices. This is important to the President as gasoline prices have been a daily reminder for voters of how life has changed since the President has taken office. Biden’s taking action against higher fuel prices could be seen as a political move aimed at helping the mid-term elections come out in favor of the President’s party. The oil industry officials throw cold water on any thinking that it would change prices, they say there will be a months-long gap before a new plan can be put in place. The oil industry spokespersons say the delay could cause problems in planning new drilling and potentially lead to decreased oil production. Overall, oil companies are hesitant to go all out and bid for leases and commit extraordinary resources to projects when the administration’s commitment is uncertain.

The administration had already suspended lease sales earlier in 2022, citing climate concerns. As a result of a court order by a U.S. district judge in Louisiana, the company involved was cleared to resume.

There is a long start-up time between the bidding process and the developing drilling operations. In the meantime, there is no sign for the oil companies to feel comfortable committing to long-range projects because the administration has not shown unwavering commitment. Resources allocated to what the administration says it is committed to, that is a move away from fossil fuels, would seem more appropriate in the long run for energy companies.

 

Export Ban Feasibility

The Biden administration wants to potentially place an outright ban on U.S. exports of oil and refined products. Speaking to reporters during a tour of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in Louisiana, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said that the administration was “not taking any tools off the table” in its effort to reduce prices at the pump, including reimposing the 1970s ban on oil exports that was lifted in 2015. This is confusing to consumers and oil companies alike as it was just last December that Granholm said an export ban was not under consideration. Secretary Granholm’s comments seem to mark a significant shift in energy policy for the administration.

A ban would have to take into account the complex global oil market. Each country does not produce the quality of crude oil or refined petroleum products used in its country. For many, imports from the U.S. have no substitutes. This would force them to find other providers, or do without. The highly advanced U.S. refining capabilities allow it to take low-cost heavy oil from Central America and Canada and turn it into high-grade gasoline. This ability to input low-cost crude and export high-value refined products is a net positive for the U.S. when measuring trade surplus’/deficits.

While an export ban may score points politically, it may not accomplish a useful goal. In January, the Dallas Federal Reserve released a study on the potential impacts of a crude oil export ban. It measures possible consequences on worldwide energy prices and their impact on Americans. The study concluded that a halt of U.S. exports “would lower the supply of oil in global markets and raise its price” and “one would expect global fuel prices, if anything, to increase as a result.”

OPEC-Plus Output Decision

OPEC+ is the name given to the combined oil-producing countries that include the 13 members of OPEC, and 10 other oil-producing countries including Russia. On Thursday (June 30) OPEC+ confirmed it would not increase output for the month of August any more than previously announced. The group had concerns about oversupplying in the face of mounting factors that could lead to a recession. Ironically, one of those factors is the tight global supply of oil.

Previously, OPEC+ decided to increase output each month by 648,000 barrels per day (BPD) in July and August. The OPEC+ group of producers ended the meeting by agreeing to stick to its output strategy. The producers did not discuss policy for September or beyond.


Analysts Report

“Energy industry fundamentals remain strong.” Wrote Noble Capital Markets, Senior Energy Analyst Michael
Heim, in his quarterly
report on the industry released this week. Heim went on to write that cash flow levels are envious in the industry, and debt levels are being pared down. He maintains his positive bias toward the sector and favors small-caps within the sector “with the ability to expand operations.”

 
Take Away

Energy companies’ performance, particularly those involved in oil or natural gas, have had excellent performance over the past two years – they have been the top-performing sector so far this year. However there has been a bit of a dip, and there are many crosscurrents that could make a continued rise a bit choppier than it had been.

The outlook on the industry is positive as the companies are faced with an enviable number of options and opportunities to rework their finances and perhaps move into new projects, both traditional and future-looking.

They, however, need to pin down the administration on whether it is committed to their products long term. This nod to the future could open the door to more investment in production. Alternatively, if they are caught in political positioning that may not carry any weight six months down the road, wrong decisions now could be expensive.

Release- ISG – Brazilian Firms Find Agility, Resilience in Cloud Services

Brazilian Firms Find Agility, Resilience in Cloud Services

7/6/2022

Rising security and regulatory concerns are contributing to strong growth in Brazil’s private/hybrid cloud industry, ISG Provider Lens™ report says

SAO PAULO–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Brazilian enterprises are increasingly concerned about the resilience and agility of their IT operations, fueling rapid growth in all types of private and hybrid cloud services, according to a new research report published today by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm.

The 2022 ISG Provider Lens™ Next-Gen Private/Hybrid Cloud — Data Center Services and Solutions report for Brazil finds new regulations, new managed hosting technologies and the rising number of ransomware attacks in Brazil have contributed to a hybrid cloud boom in the past few years. More organizations continue to migrate on-premises IT to managed services, managed hosting and colocation services.

“Brazilian companies require low-latency networks, backup and recovery and faster deployment of new services,” said Bernie Hoecker, partner, ISG Enterprise Cloud. “For most, that means pursuing a hybrid cloud strategy.”

As a result, both the cloud and colocation markets are growing quickly in Brazil. There are now six cloud hyperscalers operating in the country, with 13 to 15 cloud data centers hosted in colocation facilities, the report says. At least six more large facilities are under construction to meet the demand for data center floor space. Global cloud providers such as AWS, Microsoft and Google have elevated the standard for security, service quality and environmental, social and governance (ESG) compliance in Brazilian data centers, ISG says.

Brazilian managed hosting providers, once considered threatened by the entrance of public cloud hyperscalers, are stronger than ever thanks to demand for new technologies, such as automated self-service platforms that mimic the public cloud service portfolio, the report says.

Companies are still modernizing their infrastructure to comply with the privacy and data protection requirements of the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD), which went into effect more than a year ago, the report says. In addition, open banking regulations imposed in 2021 have increased banks’ interest in cloud migration. All private banks in Brazil are committed to adopting cloud infrastructure, and even those that still use mainframes have long-term plans to modernize and migrate their applications.

The report also examines other trends in the Brazilian private/hybrid cloud market, including how new technologies such as machine learning and service automation are helping providers deliver better services despite rising costs and shortages of skilled labor.

The 2022 ISG Provider Lens™ Next-Gen Private/Hybrid Cloud — Data Center Services and Solutions report for Brazil evaluates the capabilities of 40 providers across four quadrants: Managed Services for Large Accounts, Managed Services for Midmarket, Managed Hosting and Colocation Services.

The report names edge.uol, Equinix and T-Systems as Leaders in three quadrants each and Ativy, Matrix and TIVIT as Leaders in two quadrants each. It names Ascenty, Capgemini, Claranet, Dedalus, HostDime, Kyndryl, Logicalis, Lumen, Scala, Skymail, Unisys, V8 Consulting and Wipro as Leaders in one quadrant each.

In addition, Under and V8 Consulting are named as Rising Stars — companies with a “promising portfolio” and “high future potential” by ISG’s definition — in one quadrant each.

Customized versions of the report are available from inov.TI, Matrix, Scala, Skymail, Under, Unisys and V8 Consulting.

Alliance Resource Partners (ARLP) – Updating Estimates and Increasing our Price Target

Alliance Resource Partners (ARLP)
Updating Estimates and Increasing our Price Target

ARLP is a diversified natural resource company that generates operating and royalty income from coal produced by its mining complexes and royalty income from mineral interests it owns in strategic oil & gas producing regions in the United States, primarily the Permian, Anadarko and Williston basins. ARLP currently produces coal from seven mining complexes its subsidiaries operate in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland and West Virginia. ARLP also operates a coal loading terminal on the Ohio River at Mount Vernon, Indiana. ARLP markets its coal production to major domestic and international utilities and industrial users and is currently the second largest coal producer in the eastern United States. In addition, ARLP is positioning itself as an energy provider for the future by leveraging its core technology and operating competencies to make strategic investments in the fast growing energy and infrastructure transition.

Mark Reichman, Senior Research Analyst, Natural Resources, Noble Capital Markets, Inc.

Refer to the full report for the price target, fundamental analysis, and rating.

Updating estimates. We have updated our 2022 revenue, EBITDA and EPS estimates to $2.362 billion, $759.2 million, and $3.45 from $2.391 billion, $744.6 million, and $3.40. Our respective second quarter estimates are $588.7 million, $190.8 million, and $0.88. While our 2022 revenue estimate was trimmed about $30 million to reflect modest changes in our production estimates, we anticipate stronger margins than previously forecast. Coal prices have strengthened since the beginning of June, and we have increased our 2023 revenue, EBITDA and EPS estimates to $2.6 billion, $799.4 million, and $3.65, respectively.

A win for coal-producing states. In a win for coal-producing states last week, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) does not have the authority to set limits on carbon emissions from existing power plants. In our view, the outcome limits federal agencies from exercising broad regulatory power beyond what is authorized by Congress and could lead to a longer transition to lower carbon fuels using a more thoughtful and balanced framework….

Browser Cookies Make People More Cautious Online, Study Finds

Website cookies are online surveillance tools, and the commercial and government entities that use them would prefer people not read those notifications too closely. People who do read the notifications carefully will find that they have the option to say no to some or all cookies.

The problem is, without careful attention those notifications become an annoyance and a subtle reminder that your online activity can be tracked.

This article was republished with permission from The Conversation, a news site dedicated to sharing ideas from academic experts. It was written by and represents the research-based opinions of Elizabeth Stoycheff, Associate Professor of Communication, Wayne State University.

As a researcher who studies online surveillance, I’ve found that failing to read the notifications thoroughly can lead to negative emotions and affect what people do online.

How Cookies Work

Browser cookies are not new. They were developed in 1994 by a Netscape programmer in order to optimize browsing experiences by exchanging users’ data with specific websites. These small text files allowed websites to remember your passwords for easier logins and keep items in your virtual shopping cart for later purchases.

But over the past three decades, cookies have evolved to track users across websites and devices. This is how items in your Amazon shopping cart on your phone can be used to tailor the ads you see on Hulu and Twitter on your laptop. One study found that 35 of 50 popular websites use website cookies illegally.

European regulations require websites to receive your permission before using cookies. You can avoid this type of third-party tracking with website cookies by carefully reading platforms’ privacy policies and opting out of cookies, but people generally aren’t doing that.

One study found that, on average, internet users spend just 13 seconds reading a website’s terms of service statements before they consent to cookies and other outrageous terms, such as, as the study included, exchanging their first-born child for service on the platform.

These terms-of-service provisions are cumbersome and intended to create friction.

Friction is a technique used to slow down internet users, either to maintain governmental control or reduce customer service loads. Autocratic governments that want to maintain control via state surveillance without jeopardizing their public legitimacy frequently use this technique. Friction involves building frustrating experiences into website and app design so that users who are trying to avoid monitoring or censorship become so inconvenienced that they ultimately give up.

How Cookies Affect You

My newest research sought to understand how website cookie notifications are used in the U.S. to create friction and influence user behavior.

To do this research, I looked to the concept of mindless compliance, an idea made infamous by Yale psychologist Stanley Milgram. Milgram’s experiments – now considered a radical breach of research ethics – asked participants to administer electric shocks to fellow study takers in order to test obedience to authority.

Milgram’s research demonstrated that people often consent to a request by authority without first deliberating on whether it’s the right thing to do. In a much more routine case, I suspected this is also what was happening with website cookies.

I conducted a large, nationally representative experiment that presented users with a boilerplate browser cookie pop-up message, similar to one you may have encountered on your way to read this article.

I evaluated whether the cookie message triggered an emotional response – either anger or fear, which are both expected responses to online friction. And then I assessed how these cookie notifications influenced internet users’ willingness to express themselves online.

Online expression is central to democratic life, and various types of internet monitoring are known to suppress it.

The results showed that cookie notifications triggered strong feelings of anger and fear, suggesting that website cookies are no longer perceived as the helpful online tool they were designed to be. Instead, they are a hindrance to accessing information and making informed choices about one’s privacy permissions.

And, as suspected, cookie notifications also reduced people’s stated desire to express opinions, search for information and go against the status quo.

Cookie Solutions

Legislation regulating cookie notifications like the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation  and California Consumer Privacy Act were designed with the public in mind. But notification of online tracking is creating an unintentional boomerang effect.

There are three design choices that could help. First, making consent to cookies more mindful, so people are more aware of which data will be collected and how it will be used. This will involve changing the default of website cookies from opt-out to opt-in so that people who want to use cookies to improve their experience can voluntarily do so.

Second, cookie permissions change regularly, and what data is being requested and how it will be used should be front and center.

And third, U.S. internet users should possess the right to be forgotten, or the right to remove online information about themselves that is harmful or not used for its original intent, including the data collected by tracking cookies. This is a provision granted in the General Data Protection Regulation but does not extend to U.S. internet users.

In the meantime, I recommend that people read the terms and conditions of cookie use and accept only what’s necessary.
