Prepetition, Millennium Lab Holdings II, LLC, Millennium Health, LLC, and RxAnte, LLC (the Debtors) reached a settlement with various government entities (the USA Settling Parties) relating to, among other things, claims against the Debtors for violations of the Stark law, Anti-Kickback Statute and False Claims Act (FCA). The Debtors also negotiated a restructuring support agreement with an ad hoc group of lenders (the Ad Hoc Group) holding debt under a 2014 existing credit agreement in the original principal amount of $1.825 billion (the Credit Agreement).

Id. at 706.

Since the Debtors did not receive sufficient votes from the Lenders for an out-of-court restructuring, on Nov. 10, 2015, the Debtors filed petitions for Chapter 11 relief together with a proposed prepackaged plan (the Plan) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the bankruptcy court).
