(i.e., the Sale Hearing) and scheduling an objection deadline on July 9, 2020 at 2:00 p.m.
(prevailing Eastern Time).

and the Amended Standing Order of Reference from the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York, dated January 31, 2012. The Debtors confirm their consent,

consent of the parties, cannot enter final orders or judgments in connection with the relief sought
by this Motion to Shorten consistent with Article III of the United States Constitution.
3. Venue is proper in this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.
4. The bases for the relief requested herein are sections 105, 363, 364, 365, and 554
of title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101–1532 (as amended, the “Bankruptcy
Code”), Bankruptcy Rules 2002(a), 6004, 9006(c), and 9007, and rule 9006-1 of the Local
Bankruptcy Rules for the Southern District of New York (the “Local Rules”).
Background
5. On March 27, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), each of the Debtors filed a voluntary
petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.
6. The Debtors continue to operate their businesses and manage their properties as
debtors in possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors’
cases are being jointly administered pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 1015(b) and the Order Directing
Joint Administration of Chapter 11 Cases [Docket No. 29] entered by the Court.
7. On April 16, 2020, the United States Trustee for the Southern District of New York
appointed an official committee of unsecured creditors (the “Official Committee”). See Notice of
Appointment of Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors [Docket No. 67]. No trustee or
examiner has been appointed in these cases.
8. On April 29, 2020, the Court entered the Order (A) Approving Bidding Procedures,
(B) Scheduling an Auction and Sale Hearing and Approving Form and Manner of Notice Thereof,
(C) Approving Assumption and Assignment Procedures and Form and Manner of Notice Thereof;
and (D) Granting Related Relief [Docket No. 104] (the “Bidding Procedures Order”).
9. The Bidding Procedures Order, authorized certain procedures (the “Bidding
Procedures”) to be used in connection with the proposed sale(s) (whether pursuant to section 363
20-22437-rdd Doc 372 Filed 07/06/20 Entered 07/06/20 15:22:00 Main Document Pg 6 of 15
- 4 -
of the Bankruptcy Code or a chapter 11 plan of reorganization) of some or all of the assets or
equity interests of one or more of the Debtors (the “Sale(s)”). Bidding Procedures Order, Ex. A.
The Bidding Procedures provide that, following selection of the successful bid, a hearing will take
place to approve the sale to the successful bidder pursuant either to the applicable purchase
agreement or, in the case of a successful bid to acquire the Debtors’ assets or equity interests
pursuant to a plan of reorganization, a plan support agreement. Bidding Procedures Order, Ex. A
§VII.
10. The Bidding Procedures Order also provides that, the hearing to approve the Sale(s)
(the “Sale Hearing”) shall take place on July 10, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. (prevailing Eastern Time)
before the Honorable Robert D. Drain, United States Bankruptcy Judge, in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, located at 300 Quarropas Street, White
Plains, New York 10601 in accordance with the Order Implementing Certain Notice and Case
Management Procedures [Docket No. 44] (the “Case Management Order”).
11. On July 2, 2020, in accordance with the Bidding Procedures, the Debtors
determined that the bid submitted by BidCo 100 Limited (“BidCo” or “Plan Sponsor”)3 pursuant
to the terms of the Plan Support Agreement (the “PSA”) to acquire 100% of the newly issued
common stock of the Reorganized Company Party4 through a chapter 11 plan of reorganization
(i.e., as a going concern) (the “Transaction”) was the highest and best offer that had been received.5
3 BidCo’s shareholders are the United Kingdom Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy
(“HMG”) and Bharti Global Limited (“Bharti”). 4 Either the reorganized OneWeb Global Limited or such other Debtor as mutually agreed between the Plan
Sponsor and the Debtors. See PSA Motion. 5 Additional information regarding the Debtors’ business, capital structure, and the circumstances leading to the
filing of these cases is set forth in the Declaration of Thomas Whayne in Support of Chapter 11 Petitions and First Day Pleadings [Docket No. 3] (the “First Day Declaration”).

Requested Belief Should Be Granted
12. Among other things, the PSA commits the Plan Sponsor to step in as a lender under
the Debtors’ post-petition term loan facility (the “DIP Facility”), to provide new money funding
to the Debtors through (i) additional commitments of approximately $65 million under the DIP
Facility (as amended on the terms described herein) (ii) taking assignment of, and funding,
approximately $45 million of the currently unfunded new-money commitments under the DIP
Facility, and (iii) modifying certain conditions to funding and milestones that benefit the Debtors.
It will, among other things, provide the Debtors with the liquidity needed to bridge to confirmation
of a plan of reorganization and a successful closing of the Transaction. This additional funding
will be implemented through amendments to the DIP Facility, for which the Debtors’ are seeking
approval pursuant to the Amended DIP Motion.
13. Importantly, the Debtors have an immediate need for the additional funding. The
commitments of the Plan Sponsor under its successful bid are contingent on the Debtors
maintaining their joint venture interests in the JV. The Debtors’ understand that the JV requires
$32.2 million in payments by no later than mid-July, 2020, and an additional $9.6 million in August
2020, and $9.1 million in September 2020. Preiss Declaration ¶ 16. Notably, the lead lender under
the existing DIP Facility has indicated to the Debtors’ advisors that (i) the lenders under the current
DIP Facility do not wish to fund the amounts the Debtors’ estimated would be necessary to operate
through consummation of the Debtors’ contemplated plan of reorganization, and (ii) the lead
lender anticipates consenting to the assignment and other requisite modifications to the DIP
Facility as documented in the PSA. Id.
14. Absent the Plan Sponsors’ additional funding commitments, the Debtors might not
have sufficient funds to make such payments to the JV, let alone seek confirmation of a chapter 11
plan and ultimately consummate the Transactions. Accordingly, the Plan Sponsor has committed
20-22437-rdd Doc 372 Filed 07/06/20 Entered 07/06/20 15:22:00 Main Document Pg 8 of 15
- 6 -
to provide such funding by no later than July 13, 2020. The Plan Sponsors’ commitment to provide
the new money funding under the DIP Facility is conditioned upon authorization for the Debtors
to enter into the PSA and approval thereof. Therefore, it is imperative that the Court consider the
PSA Motion and the Amended DIP Motion, which is contingent on entry of the PSA Motion at
the July 10, 2020 hearing.
15. The Bidding Procedures Order specifically contemplates that a plan support
agreement may be heard at the Sale Hearing. Bidding Procedures Order at Sec. VII. In addition,
pursuant to paragraph 26 of the Order (I) Authorizing Debtors to Obtain Postpetition Secured
Financing, (II) Granting Liens and Providing Superpriority Administrative Expense Claims, (III)
Modifying the Automatic Stay, and (IV) Granting Related Relief [Docket No. 121], the Debtors are
permitted to seek modifications or amendments to the Loan Documents (as defined therein) on 3
business days’ notice. Bankruptcy Rule 9006(c) provides that “when an act is required or allowed
to be done at or within a specified time by these rules or by a notice given thereunder or by order
of court, the court for cause shown may in its discretion with or without motion or notice order the
period reduced.” Fed. R. Bankr. P. 9006(c). Similarly, Local Rule 9006-1(b) allows the court to
order shortened notice of motions.
16. The Debtors believe that sufficient cause exists to shorten the notice period for a
hearing on the Motions and that parties in interest had sufficient notice to anticipate the timing of
the relief being sought. Absent the shortened notice requested herein, the Plan Sponsor could seek
to terminate its commitments under the PSA, which in turn would gravely undermine the Debtors’
restructuring efforts. Such an outcome would be detrimental to all stakeholders in these cases.
17. The shortened notice period requested herein is appropriate under the
circumstances.

- 7 -
18. Based on the foregoing, the Debtors respectfully submit that cause exists to shorten
the notice period with respect to the Motions.
Motion Practice
19. This Motion to Shorten includes citations to the applicable rules and statutory
authorities upon which the relief requested herein is predicated and a discussion of their application
to this Motion to Shorten. Accordingly, the Debtors submit that the Motion to Shorten satisfies
Local Rule 9013-1(a).
Notice
20. Notice of this Motion to Shorten will be provided in accordance with the procedures
set forth in the Case Management Order.
No Prior Request
21. No prior request for the relief sought in this Motion to Shorten has been made to
this or any other court.
