As previously disclosed, on April 6, 2011 (the “Petition Date”), 4Kids Entertainment, Inc. (the “Company”) and all of its domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries (together with the Company, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief (the “Bankruptcy Cases”) under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Bankruptcy Cases are jointly administered under Case No. 11-11607.
As previously disclosed, the Debtors filed their Joint Plan of Reorganization Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code on October 5, 2012 and their Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code on October 29, 2012 (as may be amended from time to time, the “Plan”). On November 29, 2012, the Debtors filed their Plan Supplement in accordance with the Plan.
On December 13, 2012, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order in the Bankruptcy Cases confirming the Plan. A copy of the Confirmation Order is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
The following is a summary of the material terms of the Plan. This summary highlights certain substantive provisions of the Plan only and is not a complete description of the Plan. This summary of the Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to (i) the full text of the Plan, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 2.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein and (ii) the full text of the Plan Supplement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 2.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein. All capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Plan. The following description of the Plan is intended as a summary only, and is, in all respects, subject to the terms of the Plan itself, which govern.
Summary of the Plan
The Plan provides for the reorganization of the Debtors. On the effective date of the Plan, the Company will be reincorporated from a New York corporation to a Delaware corporation (the “Reorganized Company”) through a merger with a wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary that was created for purposes of the reincorporation.
All creditors of the Debtors will be paid in full, with interest, in respect of allowed claims. On the effective date of the Plan, the Company’s common stock will be cancelled and holders of the Company’s common stock will be issued one (1) share of common stock in the Reorganized Company in exchange for each share of the Company’s common stock.
The members of the Reorganized Company’s board of directors will be Jay Emmet, Duminda M. DeSilva, Wade I. Massad and Bruce R. Foster.
