Bankruptcy Case

As previously reported in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on August 20, 2010 and August 25, 2010, Professional Veterinary Products, Ltd., a Nebraska corporation (the “Company”), and its subsidiaries, ProConn, LLC, a Nebraska limited liability company (“ProConn”), and Exact Logistics, LLC, a Nebraska limited liability company (“Exact”, and together with the Company and ProConn, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nebraska (the “Bankruptcy Court”) (Case Nos. 10-82436, 10-82437 and 10-82438) (collectively, the “Bankruptcy Case”) on August 20, 2010.

Order Confirming Plan of Liquidation

On December 13, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Order Confirming (the “Confirmation Order”) the First Amended Joint Plan of Liquidation Proposed by the Debtors and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (as supplemented and amended, the “Plan”). The Plan provides, among other things, that on its effective date: (a) all equity interests of the Debtors will be deemed cancelled and will be of no further force and effect; (b) title to all property of the Debtors’ estates will pass to and vest in a liquidating trust, from which general unsecured creditors will receive a pro rata distribution from remaining available cash after payment of all post-confirmation expenses and allowed administrative, priority and secured claims; (c) the directors and officers of the Debtors will be deemed to have resigned or been terminated; and (d) the Debtors will be deemed liquidated and dissolved as legal entities. The effective date of the Plan is January 26, 2012.

Following the effective date of the Plan, the Company will file a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to provide notice of the suspension of its reporting obligations under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Upon filing a Form 15, the Company will immediately cease filing any further periodic or current reports under the Exchange Act.

The foregoing description of the terms of the Plan and Confirmation Order are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Plan and Confirmation Order, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibits 2.1 and 99.1, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
