INDENTURE TRUSTEE STATED CAUSES OF ACTION FOR FRAUDULENT CONVEYANCES UNDER A VEIL-PIERCING THEORY, COMPLAINT ALLEGED FRAUDULENT REDEMPTIONS SIPHONED OFF ASSETS LEAVING CORPORATE OBLIGORS UNABLE TO PAY NOTEHOLDERS (CT APP).

The Court of Appeals, in a full-fledged opinion by Judge Rivera, affirmed the appellate division’s ruling that the complaint by an indenture trustee stated causes of action on behalf of noteholders for fraudulent conveyances under a corporate veil-piercing theory. The court explained the issues before it as follows:

On this appeal we must determine whether an indenture trustee may seek recovery on behalf of noteholders for defendants’ alleged fraudulent redemptions intended to siphon off assets, leaving corporate obligors unable to pay the noteholders. The indenture at issue authorizes the trustee to “pursue any available remedy to collect . . . the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes,” and thus empowers that trustee to proceed at law and in equity to recover losses incurred by all noteholders from the unpaid notes. As such, the trustee may assert causes of action to recover pro-rata losses caused by defendants’ scheme to render the note debtor insolvent. The trustee may also seek to pierce the corporate veil and impose corporate obligations on defendants under an alter ego theory of liability based on properly pleaded factual allegations — here that defendants created, for unlawful purposes, a corporate structure over which they exercised complete control and domination, and which they used to incur corporate debt so they could distribute the loan proceeds to themselves through fraudulent transfers, leaving the corporation unable to pay its creditors. * * *

The [appellate division properly] concluded that the relevant language of the indenture “confers standing on the trustee to pursue . . . the fraudulent conveyance and other . . . claims, which seek recovery solely of the amounts due under the notes, for the benefit of all noteholders on a pro rata basis, as a remedy for an alleged injury suffered ratably by all noteholders by reason of their status as noteholders” … . The court also [properly] found that the complaint sufficiently states a cause of action against these defendants under a veil-piercing theory … . Cortlandt St. Recovery Corp. v Bonderman, 2018 NY Slip Op 01149, CtApp 2-20-18
