Greylock Capital Management says it’s really nothing more than a small business that should be allowed to use special bankruptcy rules to quickly cancel a lease on its expensive, midtown Manhattan office space.

At a court hearing Tuesday morning, attorney Jeffrey Chubak argued that the company qualifies as a so-called Subchapter V debtor because only its affiliates owe hundreds of millions of dollars, not Greylock Capital Associates, the entity that filed for bankruptcy Jan. 31.
