QHC Facilities LLC Deposit Dispute, Summary Judgment Granted

The United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Iowa granted summary judgment in favor of Cedar Healthgroup LLC (CH) on January 26, 2023, ordering the return of CH's $605,000 sale deposit held in escrow. The court rejected cross-motions by QHC Facilities LLC (the Debtor), Lincoln Savings Bank, and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors seeking forfeiture of the deposit. CH was the prevailing bidder at auction offering $12.1 million; the Debtor and backup bidder Blue Diamond ($12M) contended the deposit should be forfeited after CH failed to timely execute Management Agreements.
