Former owner, Richard Baker has been served. He is defying the inquiry

The first Neiman Marcus bankruptcy they stiffed creditors 2.667 billion.
Now it seems the property art. Worth millions was not reported . Baker claims he has no access to his email .so don't ask him. The goal is to cheat creditors for minimal. Repayment. Then blame the court when creditors aren't payed. Or for the low level returned to them , as compensation. While bonusing a select few who don't even need the money. Zero accountability. More dis honesty.

At this point, it makes the most sense to file CH11 now and start a planned slide into restructuring, ensuring the best possible outcome and odds for survival. Save the company, and as many jobs as you can.

They will not do that.

As bad as things are, life is still pretty good in the command bunker. The EC is paid well and treated like royalty. They go to their F1 races, and attend sporting events in skyboxes with vendors they will eventually default on their line of credit with. It's nice, they run things, and have a comfortable standard of living; it is ideal.

What is not ideal is giving up control, giving up the perks, giving up the excessive compensation to drive the company into a ditch.

Actually saving the company would require sacrifice from the EC. They have chosen not to do that. Instead, they attend F1 races, spend lavishly (on themselves) and run out the clock on a company that could be saved. The company is an end to their means - nothing else. Whatever happens will be a lot worse that it needed to be, because they want to go to one more race, sit in one more skybox for a hockey game, lord over you for one more day, before a mandated bankruptcy trustee reined them in, and put an end to it.

Remember that when they say WE have to make sacrifices, WE have to do difficult things. WE, isn't we, it's YOU.

Just remember when Chapter 11 hits and severance goes away you were offered a VRIF when you are walking to your car after a IRIF hits you.

While the company lost 77 million last month. They asked the court to approve bonuses for 8;employees if certain targets are met in the bankruptcy. Isn't that the top brass job?
Employees on leave of absence right now arent paid what they are actually owed. They are paid a draw instead.
Pretty nasty to do that while employees on medical leave. Is there no level this company and Raemdonck won't stoop to.

If we had a honest fireside chat right now the following would need to be said; please add what else you think is missing
·      Xerox currently has a hiring and retention talent problem where we can’t hire or keep the right level of staffing. (Stated in 10k)
·      Xerox currently has 15-25% staff within positions that need to be re-organized into GBS positions sooner than later.
·      Xerox currently has 25-45% staff that need to be released with 25% being residue from the purchase of Lexmark.
·      Xerox when purchasing Lexmark made a mistake by acquiring $1.5 Billion in debt above and beyond the debt we already had on the books.
·      Xerox will not be able to make debt payments starting in 2027 and will most likely be filing Chapter 11 in 1st Quarter 2027.
·      Xerox is not paying vendors on timeframes favorable to the vendors to save money; every penny we get in interest is needed.
·      Our stock price in the next 90 days will go below $1.00 starting the count down till we are delisted or transferred to the penny stock section of the news paper.

Of Xerox files for bankruptcy would that include the now separated Xerox IT solutions as well? They split awhile back like it’s a separate company.

Genuinely asking. I've never been through that before.

Ok, let's say they need to fire ~10,000 people to stay afloat in some form or fashion:

With severance, UI insurance, COBRA, and other sundry items, lets say it costs $10K on average. Not just the package, but the actual total cost of firing someone. 10000 X 10000 is $100 million.

This sounds about right, but let's say it is half of that, or 5000/head, or $50Mil.

Do you think these creeps are going to spend $50 million to do the right thing? They will not, because:

1. They are crooks and creeps.
2. They have a fiduciary duty to shareholders AND debtholders.

My gut says they will file CH11 as soon as they can get away with doing so.

SB didn't get what he deserved, quite the opposite.

He has a golden parachute, which only pays out reliably IF/WHEN the company isn't in CH 7 or 11. Parachutes get trimmed down, and sometimes eliminated entirely in bankruptcy.

They didn't throw him out a window, they put him in a life raft. He'll get paid out, and after that, look for CH11. IF anyone here read up on his nonsense agreement and knows what the payout timeline is, please chime in. That is a good indicator of when they might be filing.

The high number of RIFs and poorly run ‘transfer to contractor’ (a clear RIF later but without severance) are both obvious signs of a company about to collapse.
I blame the board and I blame senior management for letting it get this bad.
The share price will continue to fall because the company itself is failing. This last ditch effort only hastens the final failure and inevitable sale.
And I for one shall not mourn the demise.
I can only hope that it makes the architects as bankrupt monetarily as they are morally.

It’s safe to say Ford is going to go bankrupt within 3 years. Our cars are not selling without huge discounts. See for yourself..2025 f150s still available for sale. During the good times like 8 yrs ago when we made some money we should have paid off the debt and invested in quality instead of Farleys bev pet projects. He is not fired for that and executives pocketed huge bonuses and they fired normal workers through various layoffs. We had the time to turn things around but we blew it.
