DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS | NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS Description of Business Overview On June 27, 2023, Lordstown Motors Corp., a Delaware corporation, together with its subsidiaries (“Lordstown,” the “Company,” “the Debtors” or “we”), filed voluntary petitions for relief (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, we ceased production and sales of our flagship vehicle, the Endurance, and new program development and began a comprehensive marketing and sale process for some, all, or substantially all of the Company’s operating assets in an effort to maximize the value of those assets. Furthermore, we continued our aggressive cost-cutting actions that included significant personnel reductions. On September 29, 2023, we entered into the LandX Asset Purchase Agreement to sell specified assets related to the design, production and sale of electric light duty vehicles focused on the commercial fleet market free and clear of liens, claims, encumbrances, and other interests, and the purchaser assumed certain specified liabilities of the Company for a total purchase price of $10.2 million in cash in a transaction that closed on October 27, 2023 (discussed below ” ), and is included under investing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. Upon the date that the Proposed Plan, which remains subject to Bankruptcy Court approval, becomes effective (the “Effective Date”), and subject to the effectiveness of the Proposed Plan, it is contemplated that the near term operations of the Company (also referred to as the “Post-Effective Date Debtors”) will consist of (a) claims administration under the Proposed Plan, (b) addressing the Foxconn Litigation, (c) prosecuting, pursuing, compromising, settling, or otherwise disposing of other retained causes of action, (d) defending the Company against any counterclaims, (e) attempting to realize value, if any, from our NOLs and (f) filing Exchange Act reports and satisfying other regulatory requirements. In the future, the Post-Effective Date Debtors expect to explore potential business opportunities, including strategic alternatives or business combinations, including those designed to maximize the Company’s tax attributes, including maximizing realization of its NOLs. No assurance can be made that the Proposed Plan will become effective or that we will be successful in prosecuting any claim or cause of action or that any strategic alternative or business combination will be identified and/or would result in profitable operations or the ability to realize any value from the NOLs. See – “Expected Operations Following the Effective Date” and Part I – Item 1A - Risk Factors. Unless the context indicates otherwise, all shares of the Company’s Class A common stock are presented after giving effect to the 1:15 reverse stock split of the outstanding Class A common stock, which became effective as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on May 24, 2023. Prior Operations and Cessation of Production and Development Prior to the consummation of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company was an original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) of electric light duty vehicles (“EVs”) focused on the commercial fleet. This included working on its own vehicle programs as well as partnering with third parties, including Foxconn and its affiliates, as the Company sought to leverage its capabilities, assets and resources to more efficiently develop and launch EVs, to enhance capital efficiency and achieve profitability. In the third quarter of 2022, the Company started commercial production of the Endurance and began to record sales in the fourth quarter of 2022. Engineering readiness, quality and part availability governed the initial timing and speed of the Endurance launch. The rate of Endurance production remained very low in 2023 until June 2023, when management made the decision to file the Chapter 11 Cases and cease production. We sold 38 Endurance trucks to customers, of which 35 have been repurchased from customers as of the date hereof. Leading up to filing the Chapter 11 Cases and the Foxconn Litigation (each as further discussed below), it became apparent that we would be unable to effectively implement and realize the anticipated benefits of the Foxconn Transactions (as defined below) as Foxconn failed to meet funding commitments and refused to engage with the Company on various initiatives contemplated by the Foxconn Transactions that were essential to sustain ongoing operations. Due to the failure to identify a strategic partner for the Endurance, lack of expected funding and other support from Foxconn (as discussed in more detail below), continuing costs of outstanding litigation and extremely limited ability to raise sufficient capital in the then current market environment, we determined it was in the best interests of the Company’s stakeholders to take aggressive actions to cut costs, preserve cash, file the Chapter 11 Cases and Foxconn Litigation and cease production of the Endurance and new program development. As part of these initial actions, notices were provided to a substantial number of employees under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (“WARN Act”) in May 2023, for job eliminations beginning in the third quarter of 2023. After the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, we provided additional notices under the WARN Act for job eliminations. As of December 31, 2023, we had 9 employees, all of whom have been terminated or are expected to be terminated on the Effective Date. The Chapter 11 Cases On June 27, 2023, (“Petition Date”) the Debtors filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court. The Bankruptcy Court approved certain motions filed by the Debtors under which they were authorized to conduct their business activities in the ordinary course, including to, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions of such orders: (i) pay employees’ wages and related obligations; (ii) pay certain taxes; (iii) pay critical vendors; (iv) continue to honor certain customer obligations; (v) maintain their insurance program; (vi) continue their cash management system; and (v) establish certain procedures to protect any potential value of the Company’s NOLs. The Company has also been seeking to use the tools of Chapter 11 to fully, finally, and efficiently resolve its contingent and other liabilities before the Bankruptcy Court and to pursue the Foxconn Litigation, as further discussed below. The Bankruptcy Court established October 10, 2023, as the general bar date for all creditors (except governmental entities) to file their proofs of claim or interest, and December 26, 2023, as the bar date for all governmental entities, which was extended until January 5, 2024, in the case of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In addition, the deadline for parties to file proofs of claim arising from the Debtors’ rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease is the later of (a) the general bar date or the governmental bar date, as applicable, and (b) 5:00 p.m. (ET) on the date that is 30 days after the service of an order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing the Debtors’ rejection of the applicable executory contract or unexpired lease. Finally, pursuant to the Proposed Plan, the deadline for parties to file administrative claims against the Debtors (i.e., claims for costs and expenses of administration of the Debtors’ estates, including (i) the actual and necessary costs and expenses incurred after the Petition Date and through the Effective Date of preserving the estates and operating the businesses of the Debtors; (ii) professional fee claims; and (iii) fees and charges payable to the United States Trustee for the District of Delaware (the “U.S. Trustee”)) is 30 days following the Effective Date. Claimants may have the ability to amend their proofs of claim that could significantly increase the total claims, beyond our estimates or reserve. Furthermore, proofs of claim have been filed asserting unliquidated damages or claims in respect of certain indemnification obligations or otherwise, that we may not be able to estimate, or may be materially more than we estimate. Pursuant to the terms of the Proposed Plan, and subject to its confirmation and effectiveness, a significant amount of the cash on hand as of the Effective Date will be used to settle outstanding claims against the Company, including litigation claims. Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, the Company is first required to pay all administrative claims in full. The Proposed Plan also requires that the Company establish a reserve (the “Claims Reserve”) for allowed and disputed claims of general unsecured creditors, inclusive of million the Company would be required to pay into escrow on the Effective Date for the cash portion of the Ohio Securities Litigation Settlement (as defined and discussed below). The aim of the Claims Reserve is to facilitate payment in full, with interest, of such creditors’ allowed claims as contemplated by the Proposed Plan (although there can be no assurance the Company will be able to pay such claims in full with interest). The initial amount of the Claims Reserve is currently anticipated to be approximately $45 million, as agreed upon by the official committee of equity security holders (the “Equity Committee”) and the official unsecured creditors’ committee (the “UCC” and together with the Equity Committee, the “Committees”) and approved by the Bankruptcy Court. The amount of the Claims Reserve is subject to change and could increase materially. The Claims Reserve could also be adjusted downward as claims are resolved or otherwise as a result of the claims resolution process, or as the Claims Ombudsman and the Post-Effective Date Debtors deem appropriate. Furthermore, the amount of the Claims Reserve will be limited to amounts payable for allowed claims of general unsecured creditors but to the extent that the Claims Reserve is insufficient to pay general unsecured creditors in full with interest, such deficiency will be payable from all assets of the Post-Effective Date Debtors, as set forth in the Proposed Plan. There are additional liabilities, including but not limited to administrative claims and claims by holders of our Class A common stock and Preferred Stock among other potential classes of claimants whose claims, if allowed, will not be included in the Claims Reserve. There can be no assurance regarding the amount of claims that may be allowed for distributions under the Proposed Plan or that such claims will not be significantly greater than may be anticipated which could, in turn, result in the value of distributions to stakeholders being delayed, reduced, or eliminated entirely. Inevitably, some assumptions will not materialize, and unanticipated events and circumstances may affect the ultimate results and total amount of claims against us. Moreover, additional claims may be filed in the Chapter 11 Cases, including on account of rejection damages for executory contracts and unexpired leases rejected pursuant to the Proposed Plan and administrative claims, for each of which the deadlines to file proofs of claim have not yet passed as of the date of this report. Such claims may be substantial and may result in a greater amount of allowed claims than estimated. No assurance can be made regarding the confirmation or effectiveness of the Proposed Plan, the sufficiency of the Debtors’ assets to provide estimated recoveries to claimants and fund anticipated post-emergence activities. The Post-Effective Date Debtors and the Claims Ombudsman, as applicable, will review and analyze all claims. Pursuant to the terms of the Proposed Plan, which includes certain exceptions, the Claims Ombudsman will have the authority to settle, litigate or otherwise resolve general unsecured Claims against the Debtors. Sale of Certain Assets to LandX As part of the Chapter 11 Cases, on August 8, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court approved procedures (the “Bidding Procedures Order”) for the Debtors to conduct a comprehensive marketing and sale process for some, all, or substantially all of the Company’s operating assets in order to maximize the value of those assets. The Debtors’ investment banker, Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”), and other professionals conducted a comprehensive marketing process for the sale of assets consistent with the Bidding Procedures Order. In connection with that marketing and sale process, the Debtors received a “Qualified Bid” (as defined in the Bidding Procedures Order) from LAS Capital LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“LAS Capital”) to purchase certain specified assets of the Debtors. Although the Debtors received several non-binding proposals for the purchase of specified assets, the Debtors through their Boards of Directors, determined that none of these other proposals was a Qualified Bid in accordance with the Bidding Procedures and determined LAS Capital to be the successful bidder under the Bidding Procedures. As a result, the Debtors cancelled the auction in accordance with the Bidding Procedures and proceeded to seek Bankruptcy Court approval of the sale. On September 29, 2023, the Debtors entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “LandX Asset Purchase Agreement”) with LAS Capital LLC and Mr. Stephen S. Burns, an individual, as guarantor of certain obligations of LAS Capital under the LandX Asset Purchase Agreement . The LandX Asset Purchase Agreement was assigned to LAS Capital’s affiliate, LandX Motors Inc., a Delaware corporation (the assignee and “Purchaser”) and approved by the Bankruptcy Court on October 18, 2023. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the LandX Asset Purchase Agreement occurred on October 27, 2023, at which time the Purchaser acquired substantially all of the assets held for sale of the Debtors related to the design, production and sale of EVs focused on the commercial fleet market free and clear of liens, claims, encumbrances, and other interests, and assumed certain specified liabilities of the Debtors for a total purchase price of $10.2 million in cash. Upon consummation of the sale, Jefferies became entitled to a Transaction Fee (as defined below) of $2.0 million after crediting the Monthly Fees (as defined below) paid to Jefferies since entering into the Engagement Letter. The Transaction Fee was classified within accrued legal and professional on the consolidated balance as of December 31, 2023, and was paid to Jefferies in January 2024 and no further amounts are payable to Jefferies under the Engagement Letter. The Debtors’ remaining assets following the closing of the LandX Asset Purchase Agreement consist largely of cash on hand, the claims and causes of action asserted in the Foxconn Litigation and that the Company may have against other parties, and the NOLs. Confirmation of the Chapter 11 Plan and Effective Date On September 1, 2023, the Debtors filed a Joint Plan of Lordstown Motors Corp. and Its Affiliated Debtors and a related proposed disclosure statement (the “Disclosure Statement”), which were amended and modified on each of October 24, 2023, October 29, 2023, and October 30, 2023. On October 31, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court held a hearing on the approval of the Disclosure Statement and the procedures to solicit votes to accept or reject the Proposed Plan. The Bankruptcy Court announced, among other things, that it would approve the Debtors’ Disclosure Statement and the procedures to be used in connection with the solicitation of votes on the Proposed Plan (the “Solicitation and Voting Procedures”). On November 1, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the Disclosure Statement and the Solicitation and Voting Procedures (the “Disclosure Statement Order”). After obtaining Bankruptcy Court approval, the Debtors promptly began soliciting votes from their creditors and shareholders for approval of the Proposed Plan pursuant to the Solicitation and Voting Procedures. After the solicitation process was complete, the Debtors’ court-authorized claims and noticing agent (Kurtzman Carson Consultants LLC) submitted a declaration with the Bankruptcy Court reporting the outcome of voting on the Proposed Plan. The voting results reflected that Classes 3, 7, and 10 accepted the Proposed Plan and Class 8 (holders of 510(b) Claims, described below) rejected the Proposed Plan. No holders of claims in Class 9 voted on the Proposed Plan, and, accordingly, Class 9 was deemed eliminated from the Proposed Plan for purposes of voting and determining acceptance or rejection of the Proposed Plan by such class. Classes 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 are unimpaired pursuant to the Proposed Plan and deemed to accept it. On January 31, 2024, the Debtors filed the Second Modified First Amended Joint Plan of Lordstown Motors Corp. and Its Affiliated Debtors . The modifications to the Proposed Plan since the previously filed version incorporated, among other things, a settlement (the “Ohio Securities Litigation Settlement”) of claims against the Debtors and certain directors and officers of the Debtors that were serving in such roles as of December 12, 2023 (the “Ohio Released Directors and Officers”), asserted in, or on the same or similar basis as those claims asserted in, the securities class action captioned In re Lordstown Motors Corp. Securities Litigation, Case No. 4:21-cv-00616 (DAR) (the “Ohio Securities Litigation”). The Proposed Plan also included, as a condition to confirmation of the Proposed Plan, that the SEC approve an offer of settlement (the “Offer”) submitted by the Debtors to resolve the proof of claim filed by the SEC against the Debtors, which, as previously disclosed, was filed in the face amount of million (the “SEC Claim”) as set forth in an Order Instituting Cease-and-Desist Proceedings Pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Making Findings, and Imposing a Cease-and-Desist Order (the “OIP”). We expect the Offer to be considered by the SEC in the near future. The Debtors have scheduled a hearing with the Bankruptcy Court on March 5, 2024, to consider confirmation of the Proposed Plan and will ask the Bankruptcy Court to enter an order confirming the Proposed Plan (the “Confirmation Order”), which among other things, would authorize the Debtors to effectuate the Proposed Plan, subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent to the occurrence of Effective Date set forth in the Proposed Plan. If the Proposed Plan is confirmed, the Debtors will seek to have such conditions satisfied or waived in order for the Effective Date to occur promptly after entry of the Confirmation Order. The Bankruptcy Code generally provides that the confirmation of a Chapter 11 plan discharges a debtor from substantially all debts arising prior to consummation of such plan. Here, the United States Trustee has objected to the Debtors’ entitlement to a discharge. The objection is expected to be heard at the hearing to consider the Confirmation Order. If the United States Trustee’s objection is overruled, then, with few exceptions, all claims against the Debtors that arose prior to the consummation of the Proposed Plan (i) would be subject to compromise and/or treatment under the Proposed Plan and/or (ii) would be discharged in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and the terms of the Proposed Plan. However, the outcome and timing of any claims not ultimately discharged is uncertain, and it is possible material costs, penalties, fines, sanctions, or injunctive relief could result from such a matter. The Proposed Plan, among other provisions: ● provides an orderly structure for distributions to holders of claims of creditors and treatment of equity interests of shareholders (“Interests”), ● incorporates the resolution of claims asserted in the Ohio Securities Litigation and, in connection with the Offer and OIP, by the SEC, ● preserves retained causes of action, including against Foxconn, to be pursued by the Post-Effective Date Debtors, ● seeks to preserve the value of the Company’s NOLs, by leaving preferred and common equity Interests in the Post-Effective Date Debtors in place, and instituting certain trading restrictions, and ● provides that the Post-Effective Date Debtors may engage in such business operations as may be determined by the New Board. Pursuant to, and subject to the confirmation and effectiveness of, the Proposed Plan, effective as of the Effective Date (i) an ombudsman (the “Claims Ombudsman”) will be appointed to oversee the administration of claims asserted against the Debtors by general unsecured creditors and (ii) a trustee (the “Litigation Trustee”) will be appointed to oversee a litigation trust (the “Litigation Trust”) formed pursuant to the Proposed Plan, which will be funded with certain retained causes of action of the Debtors, as will be determined by the Equity Committee. We cannot provide any assurances that we will have sufficient cash on hand to provide for the required payments to be made on the Effective Date or to satisfy the Claims Reserve, Post-Effective Date Debtor Amount (as defined below) or other reserves as may be required. Pursuant to, and subject to the confirmation and effectiveness of, the Proposed Plan, the Debtors will be allocated an amount (the “Post-Effective Date Debtor Amount”) which will be used to fund (a) the fees and expenses of the Post-Effective Date Debtors in performing their duties under the Proposed Plan, (b) expenses of the Claims Ombudsman appointed under the Proposed Plan and (c) future operational expenses of the Post-Effective Date Debtors, as permitted by the Proposed Plan. Pursuant to the Proposed Plan, the Post-Effective Date Amount may be increased from time to time after notice and an opportunity to object is provided to the Claims Ombudsman. All distributions under the Proposed Plan would come from all assets of the Debtors (including, without limitation, cash generated by or that constitutes the proceeds of assets acquired by the Post-Effective Date Debtors after the Effective Date), which include, but are not limited to, (i) cash on hand as of the Effective Date, (ii) proceeds from the sale of the Debtors’ assets, (iii) proceeds from causes of action retained by the Debtors pursuant to the Proposed Plan, and (iv) insurance proceeds received by the Post-Effective Date Debtors. Subject to the terms of the Proposed Plan, any distributions to classes of claims and Interests will generally be made in order of their respective priorities under the Bankruptcy Code. Specifically, the Proposed Plan provides for the distributions for the claims and Interests in order of priority as follows (with capitalized terms not otherwise defined having the meaning set forth in the Proposed Plan): ● Holders of Allowed Administrative Claims, Allowed Priority Tax Claims, and Allowed Other Priority Claims (each as defined in the Proposed Plan) are to be paid in full in cash before other payments can be made. ● Holders of Allowed Secured Claims (as defined in the Proposed Plan) would either retain their lien on the collateral, be paid in full in cash, or receive the collateral securing such Allowed Secured Claim. ● Holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims would receive a pro rata share of the Debtors’ cash after all Allowed Administrative Claims, Allowed Priority Tax Claims, Allowed Other Priority Claims, and Allowed Secured Claims are satisfied and the Professional Fee Escrow Account (as defined in the Proposed Plan) is funded. If the Debtors have sufficient cash on hand to pay all Allowed General Unsecured Claims plus interest in full, then the holders of the Allowed General Unsecured Claims would also receive post-petition interest on their claim amount at the Federal Judgment Rate. If the Debtors do not have sufficient cash on hand to pay in full such post-petition interest, then the holders of the Allowed General Unsecured Claims would receive their pro rata share of any post-petition interest that can be paid. ● Allowed Intercompany Claims would be reinstated under the Proposed Plan. ● Allowed Foxconn Preferred Stock Interests would be reinstated, which includes that all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock will remain outstanding, subject to the terms of the New Organizational Documents (as defined below). In the event any distribution is to be made to holders of Allowed Foxconn Preferred Stock Interests, such distribution would be from cash remaining after the payment or reserving for the treatment under the Proposed Plan of Allowed Administrative Claims, Allowed Other Priority Claims, Allowed Secured Claims, Allowed General Unsecured Claims, and the Post-Effective Date Debtor Amount (“Post-Effective Date Debtor Cash”). In addition, any such distribution to Holders of the Allowed Foxconn Preferred Stock Interests would be subject to the backstop obligation under the Ohio Securities Litigation Settlement. ● Allowed Common Stock Interests would be reinstated, which includes that all outstanding shares of Class A common stock remain outstanding, subject to the terms of the New Organizational Documents (as defined below). ● Allowed claims relating to securities actions against the Debtors that are subordinated to General Unsecured Claims by section 510(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (other than section 510(b) Claims that are (i) subject to the Ohio Securities Litigation Settlement or (ii) are claims filed against the Debtors on the same or similar basis as those set forth in the Post-Petition Securities Action (as defined below) (such claims, the “RIDE Section 510(b) Claims”), would receive Class A common stock in an amount calculated pursuant to the formula set forth in the Proposed Plan, after accounting for any recoveries from applicable insurers or other third parties and subject to the Post-Effective Date Debtors’ election to cash out such Class A common stock Interests. ● Allowed claims, if any, against the Debtors on the same or similar basis as those set forth in the putative securities class action filed against the Debtors’ current Chief Executive Officer (Edward Hightower), Chief Financial Officer (Adam Kroll), and Executive Chairman (Daniel Ninivaggi) in the Post-Petition Securities Action (defined below) may recover solely from available insurance coverage from applicable insurance policies until such insurance policies have been completely exhausted. The Debtors dispute the merits of any such claims. ● Allowed claims of the Ohio Securities Litigation Lead Plaintiff (defined below) would receive treatment pursuant to the Ohio Securities Litigation Settlement incorporated in the Proposed Plan (as described below). Pursuant to the Ohio Securities Litigation Settlement incorporated into the Proposed Plan, the Debtors would pay $3 million into escrow on the Effective Date for the benefit of the putative class members in the Ohio Securities Litigation. In addition, such putative class members would be entitled to receive a portion of any proceeds from litigation and other causes of action being retained by the Debtors following the Effective Date (net of actual reasonable costs incurred in prosecuting such retained causes of action) in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) million. Pursuant to the Proposed Plan and Confirmation Order, if entered, the Confirmation Order would constitute a preliminary approval of the Ohio Securities Litigation Settlement. The Ohio Securities Litigation Settlement would be effective on the Effective Date, and the Ohio Securities Litigation Lead Plaintiff, through counsel, would be responsible for pursuing final approval of the proposed settlement thereafter. Members of the putative settlement class would be provided with the option to op-out of the settlement class pursuant to the provisions of the Confirmation Order. In addition, pursuant to the Proposed Plan, a portion of any recoveries from litigation or other causes of action retained by the Debtors that would be owed to putative class members in connection with the Ohio Securities Litigation Settlement would be backstopped by Foxconn through Foxconn’s agreement to permit 16% of any payments made on account of Foxconn’s Preferred Stock, up to $5 million, to be paid into a reserve for the benefit of such class members. Further, the Proposed Plan contemplates, and includes as a condition to confirmation of the Proposed Plan, that the SEC approve the Offer submitted by the Debtors to resolve the SEC Claim as would be, if approved, set forth the OIP. We do not anticipate seeking confirmation of the Proposed Plan by the Bankruptcy Court until the Offer and OIP are mutually agreed with the SEC and binding. Subject to receipt of necessary approvals and satisfaction of each of the terms of the Offer and the OIP, the Proposed Plan provides that following confirmation and the effectiveness of the Proposed Plan incorporating the Ohio Securities Litigation Settlement, the SEC would withdraw the SEC Claim. Any potential settlement with the SEC or other parties for related securities claims or other matters is subject to significant uncertainty, there can be no assurance as to the timing or outcome of the resolution of these matters, and any settlement or claim amount remains subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court and other regulatory approvals, as applicable. The Debtors cannot provide any assurances regarding what the Company’s total actual liabilities based on the SEC Claim, or other claims asserted in the Chapter 11 Cases, will be. On the Effective Date, the Proposed Plan would provide certain releases to directors and officers of the Debtors that served in the capacity as a director or officer of any of the Debtors at any time from the Petition Date through the Effective Date. As approved by the Bankruptcy Court, the releases would be binding on holders of claims and Interests (a) that affirmatively vote to accept the Proposed Plan or (b) are entitled to vote on the Proposed Plan, vote to reject the Proposed Plan, and check a box on their ballot opting into the releases. The releases are also binding on related parties to those described in (a) and (b) ( e.g. In addition, pursuant to, and subject to the confirmation and effectiveness of, the Proposed Plan, the members of the settlement class in the Ohio Securities Litigation will also be releasing parties pursuant to the Proposed Plan and be bound by the release, discharge, and injunction provisions set forth in the Proposed Plan. The Proposed Plan remains subject to the entry of the Confirmation Order and it could change as a result of amendments, supplements, or other modifications to the Proposed Plan. The Proposed Plan is available, and any amendments, supplements and modifications will be made available, Plan is not binding on any party, including the Debtors, until it is consummated and the Effective Date has occurred. The Plan. The failure of the Proposed Plan to be confirmed and become effective, or any delay thereof, will significantly and adversely affect the likelihood of a Chapter 11 reorganization and could lead to a liquidation. Expected Operations Following the Effective Date If the ● the Foxconn Litigation and other retained causes of action of the Debtors would be preserved and may be prosecuted, ● claims filed in the Chapter 11 Cases would continue to be resolved pursuant to the claims resolution process with allowed claims being treated in accordance with the Proposed Plan, ● distributions to holders of allowed claims and allowed Interests would be made subject to the provisions of the Proposed Plan , and ● the Debtors will continue to conduct business and may enter into transactions, including business combinations, or otherwise, that could permit the Post-Effective Date Debtors to make use of the NOLs, if preserved. At this time, however, the Debtors do not know what the post-Effective Date operations will include and no assurances can be provided that the Proposed Plan will generate any value for the Company’s post-Effective Date equity holders or that any distributions will be made to such equity holders. See “Risk Factors”, including under the heading “Risks Related to Our Post-Effective Date Operations and Financial Condition.” On and after the Effective Date, pursuant to applicable non-bankruptcy law and subject to confirmation of the Proposed Plan, the Company and its subsidiaries will |
