“(d) Supersedeas bond. (1) Whenever an appellant entitled thereto desires a stay on appeal, such appellant may present to the district court for its approval a supersedeas bond which shall have such surety or sureties as the court requires. Subject to paragraph (2), the bond shall be conditioned for the satisfaction of the judgment in full together with costs, interest, and damages for delay, if for any reason the appeal is dismissed, or if the judgment is affirmed, and to satisfy in full such modification of the judgment such costs, interest, and damages as the appellate court may adjudge and award. When the judgment is for the recovery of money not otherwise secured, the amount of the bond shall be fixed at such sum as will cover the whole amount of the judgment remaining unsatisfied, costs on the appeal, interest, and damages for delay, unless the court after notice and hearing and for good cause shown fixes a different amount or orders security other than the bond. […]

(2) (A) Except as provided in subparagraphs (C) and (D), if an appellant appeals from any form of judgment based on any legal theory and seeks a stay of enforcement during the period of appeal, the supersedeas bond shall be set at the full amount of the judgment. If the appellant proves by a preponderance of the evidence that setting the supersedeas bond at the full amount of the judgment will result in the appellant suffering an undue hardship or a denial of the right to an appeal, then the court may reduce the amount of the supersedeas bond as follows:

(i) If the judgment is less than or equal to $1,000,000 in value, the supersedeas bond shall be set at the full amount of the judgment; or

(ii) if the judgment exceeds $1,000,000 in value, the supersedeas bond shall be set at a total of $1,000,000 plus 25% of any amount in excess of $1,000,000.

(B) (i) There shall be a rebuttable presumption that an appellant will suffer an undue hardship pursuant to subparagraph (A) when the:

(a) Judgment amount exceeds $2,500,000;

(b) defendant is a small business; and

(c) judgment is for a claim arising from activities within the appellant’s ordinary course of business.

(ii) For the purposes of this subparagraph, “small business” means a sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company, corporation or other business entity, whether for-profit or not-for-profit, that has between two and 50 employees and is not a corporate affiliate or subsidiary of, or owned in whole or in part by, any other business.

(C) The amount of a supersedeas bond shall not exceed $25,000,000, regardless of the full amount of the judgment.[…]
