LIMITED OBJECTION OF NTT DATA, INC. TO DEBTORS’ NOTICE OF POTENTIAL ASSUMPTION AND ASSIGNMENT OF CERTAIN EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES AND PROPOSED CURE AMOUNTS
TO THE HONORABLE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY JUDGE:
COMES NOW NTT Data, Inc. (“NTT DATA”) and files this Limited Objection to Debtors’ Notice of Potential Assumption and Assignment of Certain Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases and Proposed Cure Amounts (the “Limited Objection”) to the alleged cure amount set forth in the Notice of Potential Assumption and Assignment of Certain Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases and Proposed Cure Amounts [Docket No. 206] (the “Cure Notice”), served upon NTT DATA by the Debtors, and in support thereof would show as follows:
I. BACKGROUND
1. On November 21, 2019 (“Petition Date”), Debtors commenced these Chapter 11 cases by filing voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors are operating their businesses and managing their affairs as debtors-in-possession under 11 U.S.C §§ 1107 and 1108.
{01411/0012/00244687.1} 2
2. On January 2, 2020, the Debtors filed the Cure Notice, including the amounts the Debtors believe were required to cure all defaults then existing under such contracts to be assumed.
3. The Debtors indicated in the Cure Notice that they intend to assume and assign certain of the Debtors’ executory contracts with NTT DATA (the “Proposed Assumed Contracts”), as part of the 363 sales process.
4. Pursuant to the Cure Notice, the Debtors identified $0.00 as the amount which it alleges to be owing to NTT DATA under the Proposed Assumed Contracts (the “Proposed Cure Amount”).
5. NTT DATA agrees to the assumption of Proposed Assumed Contracts with the Debtors subject to finding out what entity is the Successful Bidder at the 363 sale and if such Successful Bidder can provide adequate assurance of future performance; however, NTT DATA disputes the Proposed Cure Amount in the Cure Notice. NTT DATA’s books and records reflect a cure amount of $70,772.00. The Proposed Cure Amount is less than what is actually owed under the Proposed Assumed Contracts.
II. NTT OBJECTION TO CURE AMOUNT
6. NTT DATA entered into an agreement with Debtor Bumble Bee Parent, Inc. (the “NTT DATA Contract”) in which NTT DATA provides certain services as identified in the NTT DATA Contract. Accordingly, NTT DATA files this Limited Objection objecting to the Proposed Cure Amount set forth in the Cure Notice.
7. Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 365(b)(1)(A), the Debtors must cure any defaults under the NTT DATA Contract in connection with any proposed assumption, as well as provide adequate assurance of future performance. In this case, Debtors’ Proposed Cure Amount of
{01411/0012/00244687.1} 3
$0.00 fails to cure the existing defaults of the NTT DATA Contract, as is required under Section 365 prior to assumption.
8. The correct cure amount is $70,772.00 for prepetition payment defaults under the NTT DATA Contract. True and correct copies of the corresponding invoices supporting this correct cure amount are attached hereto as Exhibit A. As a result, under 11 U.S.C. § 365(b)(1)(A), in order to assume the NTT DATA Contract, NTT DATA must receive a cure payment of at least $70,772.00. Otherwise, the NTT DATA Contract cannot be assumed pursuant to Section 365.
WHEREFORE PREMISES CONSIDERED, NTT DATA prays (i) that the cure amount set forth in the Cure Notice be corrected to reflect the correct prepetition cure amount of $70,772.00, which represents prepetition amounts due and owing under the NTT DATA Contract; (ii) that NTT DATA be paid a cure payment of $70,772.00 in connection with the assumption and assignment of the NTT DATA Contract; and (iii) that NTT DATA be awarded such other and further relief to which it may be justly entitled at law or in equity.
