(collectively, the “Companies”) became effective. On February 23, 2006, the Companies issued a press release announcing the occurrence of the Effective Date. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
Some of the statements made by the Companies in this filing and the Exhibit are forward-looking in nature. These statements can be identified by the use of projected and forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” or “anticipates” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy. These statements reflect the Companies’ reasonable judgments with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the Exhibit. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the ability to successfully complete the recovery and liquidation of some or all of the Companies’ assets and causes of action; the costs associated with such recoveries and liquidations; the costs associated with the operation of the Heilig-Meyers Liquidation Trust; the amount of allowed administrative, priority and other claims requiring payment pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code and/or the Third Amended Plan; and changes in tax laws. Statements in this filing and the exhibit should be evaluated in light of these important factors.
