In these cases, the Chapter 15 Debtors seek recognition by the Delaware Bankruptcy Court of the proceeding commenced in the Spanish Court to obtain judicial approval (homologación judicial) of the Standstill Agreement (the “Spanish Proceeding”) and application of the Standstill Agreement within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.

In connection with the Chapter 11 petitions, the Chapter 11 Debtors filed motions to permit continuation of the business, including seeking permission to pay taxes, wages, and insurance premiums and other so-called “first day motions”. It is anticipated that the hearing on these initial motions will be held on 31 March 2016 in the Delaware Bankruptcy Court. The Chapter 11 Debtors are comprised of the following legal entities: Abeinsa Holding Inc.; Abengoa Solar, LLC; Abeinsa EPC, LLC; Abencor USA, LLC; Inabensa USA, LLC; Nicsa Industrial Supplies, LLC; Abener Construction Services, LLC; Abener North America Construction, LP; Abeinsa Abener Teyma General Partnership; Abener Teyma Mojave General Partnership; Abener Teyma Inabensa Mount Signal Joint Venture; Teyma USA & Abener Engineering and Construction Services General Partnership; and Teyma Construction USA, LLC.
