Six Peak IC Weekly Meeting
Ant, Bob Kennedy, Chris Aiello, Ivan, Patrick, Steven Cooney
Summary
What happened
- The meeting focused on unresolved Reseda financing, Jaharo accounting treatment, the October annual planning session, and Tom Taggart’s consulting arrangement.
- No immediate Reseda decision was required while additional information was being gathered.
- Bob reported that he had sent John proposed Jaharo accounting treatment and requested verification and narrowing of uncertain figures.
- He planned to confirm the numbers with John Beck and Gail Bauer before circulating a concise summary.
- Chris reported that R4 was willing to quote B bonds without a safe-hold structure because it has a multi-fund.
- The B bonds would provide additional leverage and be paid current rather than participate below debt coverage.
- Kathy was awaiting approval of an extension through at least the end of February, and additional recycled bonds might be requested from the state.
- Merchants remained interested in a safe-hold structure but might not close until the following month.
- Extensions of 45–60 days were expected if an equity term sheet was signed and closing progress demonstrated.
- The financing outcome remained unresolved, with the objective of avoiding retained equity in the deal.
- The annual planning session was scheduled for October 19–21 in Palm Springs.
- The agenda was expected to include the 2027 budget, historical financials through eight or nine months of 2026 depending on the third-quarter close, the VTO, the 10-year vision, the three-year plan, and the one-year budget.
- Lodging and optional Wednesday team-building activities remained under development.
- Bob also planned to circulate a write-up and the latest agreement for Tom Taggart’s consulting arrangement.
- The proposed structure included quantitative milestones at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months, with termination for cause if performance deficiencies were not met and cured.
