1 Case: HJB Doc #: 1070 Filed: 01/21/15 Desc: Main Document Page 1 of 8 UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT DISTRICT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE In re: GT ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES INC., et al. Debtors. 1 Chapter 11 Case No HJB Jointly Administered MOTION FOR THE ENTRY OF AN ORDER APPROVING INFORMATION BLOCKING PROCEDURES AND PERMITTING TRADING OF COVERED CLAIMS UPON ESTABLISHMENT OF A SCREENING WALL Fidelity Convertible Securities Investment Trust ( Fidelity CSI Trust ), by and through its undersigned counsel, hereby submits this motion (the Motion ) for the entry of an order, pursuant to 11 U.S.C. 105(a), approving information blocking procedures and permitting Fidelity CSI Trust, a member of the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the Committee ), to trade Covered Claims (as defined below) upon establishment and implementation of a Screening Wall 2 and in accordance with any such order. In support of this Motion, Fidelity CSI Trust respectfully represents as follows: BACKGROUND 1. On October 6, 2014, GT Advanced Technologies Inc. and its affiliated entities (collectively, the Debtors ) filed petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the United States 1 The Debtors, along with the last four digits of each debtor s tax identification number, as applicable, are: GT Advanced Technologies Inc. (6749), GTAT Corporation (1760), GT Advanced Equipment Holding LLC (8329), GT Equipment Holdings, Inc. (0040), Lindbergh Acquisition Corp. (5073), GT Sapphire Systems Holding LLC (4417), GT Advanced Cz LLC (9815), GT Sapphire Systems Group LLC (5126), and GT Advanced Technologies Limited (1721). The Debtors corporate headquarters are located at 243 Daniel Webster Highway, Merrimack, NH As used herein, the term Screening Wall refers to procedures established by an organization, such as a financial institution, to isolate its trading activities from its activities as a member of a statutory committee appointed in a debtor s chapter 11 case. A Screening Wall typically involves procedures inside the institution that both (i) insulate relevant people from material nonpublic information and (ii) function without necessary disruption to the management and operation of the organization. Typical Screening Wall arrangements consist of the following, to the extent necessary to achieve compliance: staffing arrangements whereby the institution s personnel responsible for performing committee functions are different than the personnel responsible for performing trading functions; physical separation of the office and file spaces used by those personnel; establishment of procedures for securing committee-related files; establishment of separate telephone and facsimile lines for trading activities and committee activities; and special procedures for the delivery and posting of telephone messages. ActiveUS v.3

2 Case: HJB Doc #: 1070 Filed: 01/21/15 Desc: Main Document Page 2 of 8 Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C (the Bankruptcy Code ). 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. On October 8, 2014, the Court ordered the joint administration of the Debtors cases. 2. On October 14, 2014, pursuant to section 1102 (a) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Office of the United States Trustee (the U.S. Trustee ) appointed seven (7) individual creditors to the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the Committee ), including Fidelity CSI Trust. [Docket No. 127]. 3. Fidelity CSI Trust is an open-ended investment trust organized under the laws of Ontario, Canada. Fidelity CSI Trust owns certain Covered Claims (defined below) of the Debtors, including the 3% Convertible Senior Notes due 2017 and the 3% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 issued by GT Advanced Technologies Inc. FMR Co., Inc. ( Fidelity ), serves as investment sub-advisor on behalf of Fidelity CSI Trust, and Fidelity, or one of its affiliates serves as advisor or sub-advisor to certain other client accounts that also beneficially own certain Covered Claims. JURISDICTION AND VENUE 4. This Court has jurisdiction to consider this Motion pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 157 and 1334 and Rule 77.4(a) of the Local Rules for the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire. This is a core proceeding under 28 U.S.C. 157(b) and may be determined by this Court. Venue is proper under 28 U.S.C and The statutory predicate for the relief requested herein is section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code. ActiveUS v.3-2 -

3 Case: HJB Doc #: 1070 Filed: 01/21/15 Desc: Main Document Page 3 of 8 RELIEF REQUESTED 6. Fidelity CSI Trust requests the entry of an order in the form filed contemporaneously herewith (the Order ), providing that Fidelity CSI Trust will not violate its fiduciary duties as a member of the Committee by continuing to engage in the trading of Covered Claims 3 or as a consequence of Fidelity, or any of its affiliates, continuing to trade Covered Claims for others or for its own account, in each case as a regular part of their respective businesses, provided that Fidelity and Fidelity CSI Trust establish and effectively implement a Screening Wall to prevent the misuse of any material nonpublic information obtained through Fidelity CSI Trust s activities as a member of the Committee. Nothing herein or in the Order shall have any impact on, or prohibit or curtail or restrict, the trading practices of Fidelity or any of its affiliates or clients or Fidelity CSI Trust or amend or alter the requirements of this Court s Final Order, Pursuant to Bankruptcy code Sections 105(a) and 362, Establishing Notification Procedures and Approving Restrictions on Certain Transfers of Claims Against and Equity Interests in the Debtors Nunc Pro Tunc to October 7, 2014 [Docket No. 387]. 7. In conjunction with their respective existing information blocking procedures, Fidelity and Fidelity CSI Trust propose to established and maintain during the Debtors chapter 11 cases the Screening Wall detailed in the Declaration of Nathan H. Van Duzer filed herewith as Exhibit A (the Declaration ), which states that he will comply with the terms and procedures consistent with those set forth in this Motion and the Declaration. BASIS FOR RELIEF 8. Although members of the Committee owe fiduciary duties to the creditors of these estates, Fidelity CSI Trust also has fiduciary duties to maximize returns to its respective clients 3 Covered Claims is used to mean any claims against any of the Debtors, including, without limitation, (i) securities as defined in Section 2(a)(1) of the Securities Act of 1933 (including the following: stocks, notes, bonds, debentures, participation in, or derivatives based upon or relating to, any of the Debtors debt obligations or equity interests) and (ii) bank debt.

4 Case: HJB Doc #: 1070 Filed: 01/21/15 Desc: Main Document Page 4 of 8 through the trading of Covered Claims. If it is barred from trading Covered Claims during the pendency of these bankruptcy cases because of its duties to other creditors, it may risk the loss of a beneficial investment opportunity and, moreover, may breach its fiduciary duties to its clients. Alternatively, if Fidelity CSI Trust is compelled to resign from the Committee because of its inability to trade for the benefit of itself or its clients, its interests may be compromised by virtue of taking a less active role in the reorganization process. Fidelity CSI Trust should not be forced to choose between serving on the Committee and risking the loss of beneficial investment opportunities or foregoing service on the Committee and possibly compromising its responsibilities by taking a less active role in the reorganization process. 9. In the last several years, many institutions have faced a similar dilemma with respect to committee membership in other chapter 11 cases. To resolve this issue, bankruptcy courts have permitted members of statutory committees to trade securities of debtors provided that the committee members establish and comply with Screening Walls similar to the ones proposed here. See, e.g., In re NII Holdings, Inc., Case No (SCC) (Bankr. S.D.N.Y., October 6, 2014), ECF No. 69; In re A123 Systems, Inc. et. al., No (KJC) (Bankr. D. Del., Nov. 8, 2012), ECF No. 320; In re MF Global Holdings Ltd., et. al., Case No (MG) (Bankr. S.D.N.Y., November 17, 2011), ECF No. 117; In re Advanta Corp., No (KJC) (Bankr. D. Del., Mar. 3, 2010), ECF 305; In re Premier International Holdings Inc., No (CSS) (Bankr. D. Del., July 29, 2009), ECF 273; In re Smurfit-Stone Container Corp., No (BLS) (Bankr. D. Del., March 23, 2009), ECF 576; In re Radnor Holdings Corp., No (PJW) (Bankr. D. Del., Oct. 20, 2006), ECF 435 In re Solutia Inc., et al., Case No (PCB) (Bankr. S.D.N.Y., January 22, 2004), ECF No. 302; In re FiberMark, Inc., et.al., No (CAB) (Bankr. D. Vt., October 19, 2004), ECF 684; In re WorldCom, Inc., ActiveUS v.3-4 -

S.D.N.Y., Feb. 27, 2002), ECF No. 1753; In re Dairy Mart Convenience Stores, Inc., Case No (AJG) (Bankr. S.D.N.Y., Dec. 20, 2001), ECF No. 252; In re Iridium Operating LLC, Case No (CB) (Bankr. S.D.N.Y., Nov. 3, 1999), ECF No Each of the trading orders entered in the foregoing cases provided that a committee member does not violate its fiduciary duties as a committee member by trading in a debtor s securities, so long as it acts in accordance with certain information blocking procedures approved by the bankruptcy court. The orders further provide that the bankruptcy court may take appropriate action if there is any actual breach by a committee member of its fiduciary duty as a committee member. 11. In the seminal decision on this issue, In re Federated Dep t Stores, Inc., Case No , 1991 Bankr. Lexis 288 (Bankr. S.D. Ohio Mar. 7, 1991), the bankruptcy court agreeing with the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission on this issue stated that Fidelity Management & Research Company: 4 Will not be violating its fiduciary duties as a committee member and accordingly, will not be subjecting its claims to possible disallowance, subordination, or other adverse treatment, by trading in securities of the Debtors... during the pendency of these cases, provided that Fidelity employs an appropriate information blocking device or [Screening] Wall which is reasonably designed to prevent Fidelity trading personnel from receiving any nonpublic committee information through Fidelity committee personnel and to prevent Fidelity committee personnel from receiving information regarding Fidelity s trading in securities of the Debtors... in advance of such trades. In re Federated Dep t Stores, Inc., 1991 Bankr. Lexis 288 at *2. 4 FMR Co., Inc., is a subsidiary of Fidelity Management & Research Company. ActiveUS v.3-5 -

6 Case: HJB Doc #: 1070 Filed: 01/21/15 Desc: Main Document Page 6 of The Federated court approved the Screening Wall procedures of Fidelity Management & Research Company, which, as here, included: (i) a written acknowledgement by personnel performing committee work that they could receive nonpublic information and were aware of the Screening Wall procedures in effect; (ii) a prohibition on the sharing of non-public committee information with certain other employees; (iii) separate file space for committee work which is inaccessible to certain other employees; (iv) restrictions on committee personnel s access to trading information; and (v) a compliance review process. The Screening Wall procedures outlined here parallel those protections established in the Federated case and followed in subsequent cases. 13. Orders permitting committee members to trade securities of a debtor subject to the establishment of a Screening Wall enable and encourage large institutional creditors with expertise and experience in reorganizations to join statutory committees, thereby enabling statutory committees to consist of the largest and most experienced stakeholders and to function in a manner contemplated by the Bankruptcy Code. The entry of such orders is an appropriate exercise of bankruptcy courts equitable powers pursuant to section 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, which empowers courts to issue any order... that is necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions of the [Bankruptcy Code]. 11 U.S.C. 105(a). 14. Creditors that perform investment advisory services or that buy and sell securities or other financial assets for their own account should not be forced into the choice between (i) serving on a creditors committee and risking the loss of beneficial investment opportunities for themselves or their clients and (ii) compromising those same responsibilities and hampering their ability to protect their previous investment in a debtor by taking a less active role in the ActiveUS v.3-6 -

The legal authorities upon which the Fidelity CSI Trust relies are set forth above. Accordingly, the Fidelity CSI Trust submits that a waiver of the LBR 7102(b)(2) requirement is appropriate under these circumstances. NO PREVIOUS REQUEST 18.

WHEREFORE, Fidelity CSI Trust respectfully requests that the Court enter the Order (i) approving the Screening Wall procedures set forth herein and the Declaration; (ii) determining that Fidelity CSI Trust will not violate its fiduciary duties as a Committee member and, accordingly, will not subject its interests or claims (or those of its affiliates or its client accounts or funds) or the claims or interest of Fidelity (or those of its affiliates or its client accounts or funds) to possible disallowance, subordination, or other adverse treatment by trading, or as a ActiveUS v.3-7 -
