The issue presented in Bethlehem Steel was whether section 503 precludes a court from authorizing a debtor to reimburse a creditor’s professional fees under section 363(b) prior to the completion of the debtor’s reorganization.
As Bethlehem’s unfunded pension and post-employment benefit obligations exceeded approximately $1.85 billion and $3 billion, respectively, as of the Petition Date, one of the key objectives of Bethlehem’s chapter 11 case was to work with the USWA to reduce employment and healthcare costs, and ultimately to find a solution to its enormous retiree healthcare obligation.
Bethlehem likened the relief requested in the Motion to applications frequently granted by bankruptcy courts pursuant to section 363(b) authorizing the payment of “break-up” fees to potential acquirers or “stalking horses,” aimed at compensating a potential acquirer for costs incurred conducting due diligence in connection with a sale of assets.
