On September 27, 2019, the Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico (“FOMB”), with the consent of then-Governor Wanda Vázquez Garced, commenced a Title III case for the Puerto Rico Public Buildings Authority (“PBA”) by filing a petition for relief pursuant to Section 304(a) of PROMESA, 48 U.S.C. § 2164(a), in the United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico. As such, PBA is currently a debtor in a proceeding under the Title III of PROMESA, 48 U.S.C. § 2161, et seq. Pursuant to Section 315(b) of PROMESA, 48 U.S.C. § 2175(b), the FOMB serves as PBA’s representative in its Title III.
On January 18, 2022, the Title III Court entered its Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the Eighth Amended Plan of Adjustment (the “Plan”) for (i) the Commonwealth, (ii) the Employees Retirement System of the Government of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico; and (iii) the Puerto Rico Public Buildings Authority. The Plan became effective on March 15, 2022 (the “Effective Date”). Under the Plan, PBA bonds and related obligations and guarantees were discharged and are no longer outstanding.
