Establishment of Special Committee of the Board of Directors
On October 24, 2017, the board of directors (the “Board”) of First Capital Investment Corporation (the “Company”) approved the establishment of a special committee of the Board (the “Special Committee”) to evaluate and arrange for the disposition of the Company’s investments in First Capital Retail, LLC (“FCR”) and to review the Company’s investment portfolio. The Board appointed Dr. Bob Froehlich, Frank Grant and Jeff Davi, each of whom is an independent director, as members of the Special Committee and appointed Dr. Froehlich as chair of the Special Committee. The Special Committee is authorized to select and retain, at its discretion, legal, financial, investment banking and other advisors or consultants as it deems necessary to represent the Company in bankruptcy proceedings of FCR and to arrange for the disposition of the Company’s investments in FCR. The Special Committee has full authority to approve the disposition of the Company’s investments in FCR following its evaluation and review of potential transactions.
Update Regarding FCR
As previously reported, on September 15, 2017, FCR filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of California. The Company was not initially listed as a creditor on the bankruptcy filing and had no advance notice of the filing. At the time, based on its familiarity with FCR’s operations, the Company did not believe that FCR’s bankruptcy filing would materially impede the Company’s efforts to dispose of its investments in FCR or the terms or value of such a sale transaction to an unaffiliated third party.
On October 12, 2017, FCR amended its bankruptcy filing to, among other things, name the Company as a creditor and include a full accounting of its assets and liabilities. Upon review of the amended bankruptcy filing, and following discussions with bankruptcy counsel, the Company believes that the fair value of its investments in FCR have been materially impaired as a result of the bankruptcy filing. In addition, the bankruptcy filing has complicated efforts to sell the Company’s investments to an unaffiliated third party within a reasonable timeframe.
Change in Address
The Company has changed its principal business address to 410 Park Avenue, 14th Floor, New York, NY 10022. Its new phone number is (646) 512-9054.
