The proposed $6.5 billion settlement is one of the biggest tests yet of the so-called Texas two-step process, which allows companies to split off liabilities into a separate unit that files for bankruptcy. If Johnson & Johnson’s latest bid works, more companies could use the tactic.

Here’s how the Texas two-step works:
</span>
<span>
A company creates a subsidiary to take on liability for a wave of lawsuits. The new entity immediately seeks Chapter 11 protection, turning the plaintiffs into creditors.
</span>
</p>
<p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">

<span style="font-weight:700;font-family:arial,sans-serif;color:#000">
Courts rejected Johnson & Johnson’s previous attempts.
</span>
<span>
Judges ruled that bankruptcy wasn’t the right way to address the settlements because the subsidiary could not show it was under financial distress.

<span style="font-weight:700;font-family:arial,sans-serif;color:#000">
This round has a new twist.
</span>
<span>
The company plans to file a “prepackaged” bankruptcy if 75 percent of claimants vote to accept the settlement.

<p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">

“In effect, all the bankruptcy court is doing is stamping ‘yes’ on an agreement that has already been reached,” Jared Ellias, a Harvard Law School professor who specializes in corporate bankruptcy law, told DealBook.

It’s not yet clear whether the plan would withstand legal challenges.

TikTok gets some good news
</span>
</h2>
<p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
<span>
Universal Music Group today announced a
</span>
<a class="css-sdwaa1" style="color:#286ed0;-webkit-text-decoration:underline;text-decoration:underline">
new licensing deal with TikTok
</a>
<span>
, ending the label’s monthslong boycott of the platform.
</span>
</p>
<p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
<span>
It’s welcome news for TikTok as the short-video app battles to avoid being banned in the U.S.
</span>
</p>
<p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
<span style="font-weight:700;font-family:arial,sans-serif;color:#000">
The context:
</span>
<span>
Universal
</span>
<a class="css-sdwaa1" style="color:#286ed0;-webkit-text-decoration:underline;text-decoration:underline">
told TikTok
</a>
<span>
to remove its music from the platform in February, accusing the company of underpaying and failing to stem a flood of “A.I.-generated recordings” on its platform that reduced the amount of money available for human musicians. TikTok shot back that Universal was being greedy and cutting off its artists’ access to a key promotional platform.
</span>
</p>
<p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
<span>
The fight took a turn when Taylor Swift, who is a Universal artist,
</span>
<a class="css-sdwaa1" style="color:#286ed0;-webkit-text-decoration:underline;text-decoration:underline">
reappeared on TikTok
</a>
<span>
to promote her latest album last month.
</span>
</p>
<p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
<span style="font-weight:700;font-family:arial,sans-serif;color:#000">
Details of the deal weren’t released.
</span>
<span>
Universal said it had secured more money and better protection against A.I., while TikTok said it would do more to promote Universal’s artists. Both companies added that they would cooperate on new ways to make money using TikTok’s growing e-commerce features.
</span>
</p>
<p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
<span style="font-weight:700;font-family:arial,sans-serif;color:#000">
Both sides can claim a win.
</span>
<span>
Universal can show investors that it’s an industry leader in dealing with Big Tech, Mark Mulligan, an analyst at MIDiA Research, told DealBook. (Shares in the label were up this morning.) He added that the resolution underscored the importance of TikTok’s “soft power” in building fan bases for artists.
</span>
</p>
<p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
<span>
But Mulligan said that ByteDance, the Chinese owner of TikTok, hasn’t actually signaled any pullback from A.I. “Unlike Spotify, TikTok is not a music platform — it is a platform with music as its soundtrack,” he said. “It is far easier for TikTok to substitute human music for A.I. music, which is what scares music rights holders.”
</span>
</p>
<p style="font:normal 17px/25px georgia,serif;color:#333;margin:0 0 15px">
<span style="font-weight:700;font-family:arial,sans-serif;color:#000">
One more thought:
</span>
<span>
Given the uncertainty of TikTok’s future in the U.S., the companies may have been smart to do a deal that benefits both of them, at least in the short term.
