Confirmation of Plan of Liquidation
As previously disclosed by FBI Wind Down, Inc., formerly known as Furniture Brands International, Inc. (the Company), on September 9, 2013, the Company and its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the Debtors) filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the Bankruptcy Court) seeking relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code. The Chapter 11 cases are being jointly administered under the caption In re FBI Wind Down, Inc., et al., Case No. 13-12329. In addition, as previously disclosed, on November 25, 2013, the Debtors completed the sale of substantially all of their assets to certain affiliates of KPS Capital Partners L.P.
On July 14, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the Confirmation Order) confirming the Debtors Second Amended Joint Plan of Liquidation as filed with the Bankruptcy Court on July 9, 2014 (the Plan). The effective date of the Plan (the Effective Date) has yet to be determined. A copy of the Plan, as confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, and the Confirmation Order are attached hereto as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE PLAN, ALL OF THE COMPANYS EXISTING EQUITY INTERESTS, CONSISTING OF AUTHORIZED AND OUTSTANDING SHARES OF COMMON STOCK, WILL BE DEEMED CANCELLED UPON THE EFFECTIVE DATE, AND THE COMPANYS SHAREHOLDERS WILL NOT RECEIVE OR RETAIN ANY DISTRIBUTION OR OTHER PROPERTY ON ACCOUNT OF THEIR SHARES. AS OF THE DATE OF THE CONFIRMATION ORDER, THERE WERE 7,940,054 SHARES OF THE COMPANYS COMMON STOCK OUTSTANDING.
Summary of Plan
The following is a summary of the material terms of the Plan, as confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan.
The Plan provides for the appointment of a Liquidating Trustee to administer the Plan and the Liquidating Trust. The Liquidating Trustee will also serve as a representative of the Debtors estates (the Estates) for the purpose of enforcing causes of action belonging to the Estates. In addition, among other things, the Liquidating Trustee will (i) administer, and make all payments required pursuant to, the settlements by and among the Debtors, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation and the Creditors Committee, as set forth in the previously disclosed settlement agreement dated March 31, 2014 among such parties and (ii) take such actions as are necessary and reasonable to carry out the purposes of the Liquidating Trust, including winding down the Debtors business affairs.
Other than Administrative Expense Claims, Adequate Protection Claims and Priority Tax Claims, the claims and interests in the Debtors are divided into 17 classes. The Plan generally
provides for payment in full, in cash, to holders of Allowed Class 1 Priority Non-Tax Claims and Allowed Class 2 Secured Tax Claims. Holders of Allowed Class 3 Other Secured Claims are generally entitled to either cash or the collateral securing such claims, in all cases in full satisfaction of any such claims. Holders of Allowed Classes 4A-4F General Unsecured Claims are generally entitled to distributions of their pro rata share of the applicable Debtors net distributable assets, as described in the Plan. The Plan generally provides that each holder of Allowed Classes 5A-5F Convenience Claims is entitled to receive cash in an amount equal to a specified percentage of the amount of such holders claims. Holders of Class 6 Subordinated Securities Claims and Class 7 Equity Interests in Debtors will not receive or retain any property under the Plan on account of such claims.
