BahaMar
Joint Provisional Liquidators (JPLs) said late today that a decision by
the Delaware court dismissing Baha Mar Ltd’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy
filing would not change their role.
"Our
role from the outset has been to protect and preserve BahaMar's assets
and focus on bringing all parties to the table such that the resort can
open,” said Edmund Rahming, Managing
Director, KRyS Global, the Bahamas-based firm appointed along with
UK-based AlixPartners as joint provisional liquidators.
“As
we have stated previously, the successful opening of this significant
development is in everybody's interest,” Rahming said. “Therefore we are
focussed on our court-appointed obligations
rather than on proceedings outside our control.”
The joint provisional liquidators have called their task of sorting
through thousands of pages of documents,
contracts and communications accumulated over the last decade “massive”
and said the Delaware judge’s ruling would not impact their strategy,
obligations or goal as assigned by the Bahamian court.
“We
have a significant task ahead of us and are working extremely hard as
we continue to gather appropriate information,” said Rahming. “We have
been well supported in this thus far
thanks to the co-operation of the parties involved. Given the scale and
complexity of this situation there is much to be done and we are
hopeful that our process continues in the same positive vein.
Nonetheless it remains a fact that we are in the early stages
of our work and while we are clear as to our final goal, there are
still many routes to be explored in getting there.
