Item 8.01. Other Events
As previously reported, on December 11, 2023, Harbor Custom Development, Inc. and certain of its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), filed a voluntary petition (the “Bankruptcy Petition”) for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Washington (such court, the “Bankruptcy Court” and such case, the “Case”). The Case is being jointly administered under the caption In re Harbor Custom Development, Inc., et al., Case No. 23-42180-MJH.
On December 15, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered an Interim Order Approving Notification and Hearing Procedures for Certain Transfers of Common and Preferred Stock and Granting Related Relief (the “Order”). The Order is designed to establish certain procedures (the “Procedures”) to protect any potential value of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes (the “NOLs”). The Order establishes, among other things, the Procedures with respect to direct and indirect trading and transfers of stock of the Company in order to protect any potential value of the Company’s NOLs for use in connection with the reorganization. As approved on an interim basis, the Procedures restrict transactions involving, and require notices of the holdings of and proposed transactions by, any person or group of persons that is or, as a result of such a transaction, would become, a Substantial Shareholder of the common stock issued by the Company. A “Substantial Shareholder” for purposes of the Procedures, is defined as any entity or individual that has Beneficial Ownership of at least (a) 5% of all issued and outstanding shares of common stock (currently 2,686,431 shares) or (b) 5% of all issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock (currently 3,799,799 shares). Any prohibited transfer of common or preferred stock in violation of the Procedures shall be null and void ab initio.
The foregoing summary of the Order is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Order, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
