World Color Press Inc. Insolvency Proceedings | World Color Press Inc. Insolvency Proceedings The Company continues to manage the bankruptcy claim settlement process for the Quebecor World Inc. ("QWI") bankruptcy proceedings in the United States and Canada (QWI changed its name to World Color Press Inc. ("World Color Press") upon emerging from bankruptcy on July 21, 2009). To the extent claims are allowed, the holders of such claims are entitled to receive recovery, with the nature of such recovery dependent upon the type and classification of such claims. In this regard, with respect to certain types of claims, the holders thereof are entitled to receive cash and/or unsecured notes, while the holders of certain other types of claims are entitled to receive a combination of Quad/Graphics common stock and cash (the "Class 4 Claims"), in accordance with the terms of the World Color Press acquisition agreement. With respect to claims asserted by the holders thereof as being entitled to a priority cash recovery, the Company has estimated that approximately $1.0 million and $1.2 million of such recorded claims have yet to be paid as of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, respectively. With respect to claims asserted by the holders thereof as being entitled to Class 4 Claims, during the second quarter of 2016 the Company was provided $1.1 million of restricted cash for the future satisfaction of the cash portion of the remaining Class 4 Claims. The obligations for both the priority cash claims and the Class 4 Claims are classified as amounts owing in satisfaction of bankruptcy claims in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. With respect to unsecured claims held by creditors of the operating subsidiary debtors of Quebecor World (USA) Inc. (the "Class 3 Claims"), each allowed Class 3 Claim will be entitled to receive an unsecured note in an amount equaling 50% of such creditor's allowed Class 3 Claim, provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of all such unsecured notes cannot exceed $75.0 million. Each allowed Class 3 Claim will also receive accrued interest and a 5% prepayment redemption premium thereon (the total aggregate maximum principal, interest and prepayment redemption premium for all Class 3 Claims is $89.2 million). In connection with the World Color Press acquisition, the Company was required to deposit the maximum potential payout to the Class 3 Claim creditors with a trustee, and that amount is being used to pay creditors for allowed Class 3 Claims, with excess amounts not required for Class 3 Claim payments reverting to the Company. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, $4.1 million of the restricted cash was paid to Class 3 Claim creditors. The Company also received refunds of $2.2 million of restricted cash. At March 31, 2017, a $0.9 million maximum potential payout to the Class 3 Claim creditors remains and is classified as restricted cash in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Based on the Company's analysis of the outstanding Class 3 Claims, the Company has a liability of $0.9 million at March 31, 2017, classified as unsecured notes to be issued in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Activity impacting restricted cash and unsecured notes to be issued for the three months ended March 31, 2017, was as follows:
| Restricted Cash |  | Unsecured Notes to be Issued
Balance at December 31, 2016 | $ | 7.2 |  |  | $ | 5.4 |
Class 3 Claim payments | (4.1 | ) |  | (4.1 | )
Restricted cash refunded to Quad/Graphics | (2.2 | ) |  | — |
Non-cash adjustments | — |  |  | (0.4 | )
Balance at March 31, 2017 | $ | 0.9 |  |  | $ | 0.9 |
The components of restricted cash at March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, were as follows:
| March 31, 2017 |  | December 31, 2016
Defeasance of unsecured notes to be issued | $ | 0.9 |  |  | $ | 7.2 |
Restricted cash for Class 4 Claim payments | 1.1 |  |  | 1.1 |
Other | 1.8 |  |  | 1.9 |
Total | $ | 3.8 |  |  | $ | 10.2 |
While the liabilities recorded for any bankruptcy matters are based on management's current assessment of the amount likely to be paid, it is not possible to identify the final amount of priority cash claims, Class 4 Claims or Class 3 Claims that will ultimately be allowed by the United States Bankruptcy Court. Therefore, payments for amounts owing in satisfaction of bankruptcy claims could be higher than the amounts accrued on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, which would require additional cash payments to be made and expense to be recorded for the amount exceeding the Company's estimate. Amounts payable related to the unsecured notes could exceed current estimates, which would require additional expense to be recorded. The Company has resolved the majority of claims since acquiring World Color Press in 2010, but the ultimate timing for completion of the bankruptcy process depends on the resolution of the remaining claims.
