"Fully C$38 million worth of industrial chemical products rely on CN's network to get to their destinations every single day and that the economic impact of the work stoppage is C$1 million per day per facility that is shut down," said Bob Masterson, President and CEO of CIAC. "Some of those goods are also essential to core public services such as water treatment. We urge both sides to consider the far-reaching and urgent economic implications the strike activity and work stoppage at CN is having on industry." The CIAC said interruptions to rail service can result in chemical plants running out of storage capacity while also incurring shortages for incoming raw materials. Although some plants might have access to CN's competitor, Canadian Pacific (NYSE: CP ), the plants have been told that CP's network isn't in a position to take on extra capacity, the association said.

Fava's job was required by a 2021 legal settlement over fatal 737 MAX crashes. During Wednesday's factory tour, workers could be seen pulling mini trains loaded with parts in front of three lines of unfinished jetliners awaiting paint jobs.

The temporary Covid-19 induced shutdown also remained a sensible choice for some OEMs due to the tumbling sales volumes, sufficient stock in the markets and ongoing supply chain disruptions, including chip shortages. Furthermore, a few OEMs such as Maruti Suzuki and MG Motors, and various component manufacturers chose to divert their oxygen supplies towards medical emergencies, which curtailed their output.

"Our copper journey has begun in earnest with the conclusion of the Eva Copper acquisition in the tier 1 mining jurisdiction of Australia. This near-term project complements our tier 1 Wafi-Golpu copper-gold project in Papua New Guinea." The race for copper mining assets globally is getting increasingly competitive, Steenkamp told Business Day, as companies scramble to add the metal to their portfolios in anticipation of supply shortages and subsequently higher prices. "We were very fortunate to get our hands on Eva. If you are going to look for copper assets now you will face a lot of competition," Steenkamp said. Harmony is confident that the demand for copper will start increasing within the next two to three years, especially as more countries move towards electric vehicles.

Volkswagen currently has about 2,000 orders in Europe for the ID.Buzz electric minivan (and its cargo version) which leads to delays due to production issues. Like many automakers, Volkswagen is still feeling the effects of the semiconductor shortage on its supply chain, which is why some buyers of the ID.Buzz have to wait 18 months to take delivery. In order to reduce this delay to a minimum, VW announced a number of options that can affect delivery times if they are removed from the order form by the buyers. The option which has the biggest effect on delivery times is the distinctive two-tone paint. Indeed, buyers who decide to go for one of six solid paint hues can expect to receive their ID.Buzz in only seven months. 2023 Volkswagen ID Buzz | Photo: Volkswagen Other options which can further speed up the production process when they are not selected include the tech-focussed Infotainment Package Plus which suffers from a lack of computer chips. | forward | motorillustrated.com | https://motorillustrated.com/volkswagen-id-buzz-forgoing-two-tone-paint-could-shorten-delivery-times-significantly/110941 |

The results mark another quarter in a long series of earnings beats in Amazon's history. The company has made the transition from an intermittently profitable business to one of the most impressive large-cap earnings growth stocks out there. Its journey has been helped by growth in its Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud division, Prime subscribers and sales of smart speaker Alexa-enabled devices — all on top of its most well-known business of selling almost anything you could imagine and delivering goods to customers' doorsteps increasingly quicker. Although the pandemic has helped Amazon boost its sales, the current environment has created such high demand that the company has experienced an increase in shipping delays and out-of-stock items, giving competitors room to edge in. That said, too much demand could be one of those good problems to have, and many investors have continued to buy the stock, sending shares to record highs this year. | not-forward | wtop.com | https://wtop.com/news/2020/07/should-you-buy-amazon-amzn-stock |

The 118-year old company is burdened with nearly $4 billion of long-term debt. (Penney has the second-most debt of any distressed retailer at $4.2 billion, according to Moody's Investor Service, second to luxury retailer Neiman Marcus Group.) The retailer is also considering asking creditors for breathing room through transactions that would rework debt outside of bankruptcy court proceedings, the report said. Penney "has been engaged in discussions with its lenders since mid-2019 to evaluate options to strengthen its balance sheet and maximize its financial flexibility, a process that has become even more important as our stores have also closed due to the pandemic," a company spokeswoman told Reuters. | forward | chainstoreage.com | https://chainstoreage.com/reports-jc-penney-skips-interest-payment-weighs-bankruptcy-move-refinance-debt |

Two other groups bid for Freedom's papers and real estate: an investor group headed by Freedom CEO Rich Mirman ; and Tribune Publishing, owner of the Los Angeles Times, San Diego Union-Tribune and other papers. Friedman added that several bids interested only in Freedom's real estate assets also are being evaluated. Spokespeople for Mirman's investor group could not be reached for immediate comment Sunday. Officials at Tribune Publishing declined comment. Freedom filed for bankruptcy protection in November, and the sale proceeds will help back pay its creditors.

As this article goes to press, General Growth Properties has declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The situation with GGP is of some significance to Birmingham because of its involvement in two area malls, Riverchase Galleria (co-owned with Jim Wilson and Associates of Montgomery, Alabama), which is not included in the bankruptcy filing, and Century Plaza. The former is a dynamic, super-regional mall at Interstate 459 and U.S. 31. The latter, located at the intersection of Interstate 20 and Oporto Madrid Boulevard, is largely dark; its remaining anchor, Sears, has announced plans to close this year. The health of the owner has a bearing on the continued well-being of the performing mall and the redevelopment of the non-performing one — both of immediate concern to local elected officials, neighborhood leaders, and of course, the affected retailers. | not-forward | rebusinessonline.com | https://rebusinessonline.com/birminghams-fundamentals-help-fuel-solid-economic-base |
Within three years, though, Marvel Entertainment Group filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in New York, and reorganization plans involving Toy Biz were soon proposed. Seeing opportunity in the wash of red ink, Perlmutter - along with Avi Arad, his Toy Biz co-owner and fellow Israeli army veteran - wrested away control of Marvel from owner Ronald Perelman and investor Carl Icahn in 1998 through a Toy Biz merger. With a clear-eyed mission to turn around Marvel's fortunes, Perlmutter and Arad steered hard toward licensing Marvel's characters "to moviemakers, toymakers, video game makers and television producers," as the New York Times reported in 2003.

By Scott Robertson Leaving many observers surprised at how quickly the action was taken, Bristol, Va.-based Alpha Natural Resources voluntarily filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Aug. 3. As late as four months ago, the coal mining company had reported having $476 million in cash. Immediately after filing, Alpha began assuring customers and vendors it plans to continue to conduct "business as usual" as the restructuring unfolds over the course of the next year to year-and-a-half. A statement to those companies which Alpha published online said, "We expect to continue operating, paying employees, suppliers and vendors, and delivering high-quality service to our customers. We're committed to maintaining safe, compliant and productive operations." Alpha was scheduled to repay a convertible bond at the beginning of August, but chose to file for Chapter 11 protection instead. | forward | bjournal.com | https://bjournal.com/alpha-natural-resources-files-for-chapter-11-bankruptcy |
[NEW YORK] Citigroup said Wednesday it will shut the US branch of its Mexican subsidiary Banamex and pay US$140 million in fines for inadequate programmes to combat money laundering. Citigroup said it had opted to close Banamex USA after concluding it "has not been able to operate to the scale necessary to generate consistent quality earnings." Operations of Banamex USA will be wound down "subject to a satisfactory liquidation plan," Citigroup, the fourth-largest US bank by assets, said in a statement. The California Department of Business Oversight said the fines were needed because Banamex USA continued to engage in new violations of federal bank secrecy and money laundering rules. Those failings flouted requirements under a 2012 consent order between Banamex USA and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the California agency. | forward | www.businesstimes.com.sg | http://www.businesstimes.com.sg/banking-finance/citigroup-shuts-banamex-usa-pays-us140m-in-fines |

Many of the PPP and EIDL loans that were issued prior to June 5, 2020, had a maturity date of two years, which means in mid-2022 many lenders, for loans that were not forgiven, will be facing questions of how to deal with defaulting borrowers or borrowers entering bankruptcy. What obligations does a lender have when their PPP or EIDL borrower has defaulted or filed for protection under the Bankruptcy Code? Treatment of PPP Loans in Bankruptcy: While PPP loans largely did not require collateral or personal guarantees, some EIDL Loans did. In fact, EIDL loans of more than $25,000 required collateral, and EIDL loans greater than $200,000 required personal guarantees. Generally speaking, PPP and EIDL loans are eligible for inclusion in a business bankruptcy case. PPP and EIDL loans will be treated in bankruptcy according to their security and priority like a typical loan. This means, for most borrowers, a PPP loan is likely to be treated as unsecured debt that can be eligible for discharge. | forward | www.jdsupra.com | https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/bankruptcy-alert-when-ppp-wasn-t-enough-4410722 |

Once the run on the firm began, Lehman Brothers could not both pay out depositors and provide sufficient liquidity to cover its intraday requirements.

Target Corp. has purchased an empty two-story building near a busy intersection in Lakeview, where it plans to build a new store. A spokeswoman for the Minneapolis-based retailer confirmed in an email that Target bought the property at 3201 N. Ashland Ave., just north of the Ashland, Belmont and Lincoln avenues intersection, declining to disclose a price. Target plans to open a store in the building, according to Erin Duffy, director of community outreach in Ald. Tom Tunney's (44th) office, who represents the area in the City Council. The retailer will likely need to amend an existing zoning plan that covers the building, Ms. Duffy said, requiring a community review process and approval from the Plan Commission and then the City Council. "We're just waiting for a proposal from Target and when we receive it that's when the vetting will start," Ms. Duffy said. "We hope to have something to review with the community before spring." | forward | www.chicagobusiness.com | https://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20130211/CRED03/130219985/target-buys-lakeview-property-for-new-store |
