Section 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure
Accuride Corporation and its domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on October 8, 2009. In connection therewith, on December 21, 2009, the Debtors filed the Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of the Debtors (the “Plan”) and a related amended Disclosure Statement (the “Disclosure Statement”) with the bankruptcy court. The Plan and Disclosure Statement amended versions of the Plan and Disclosure Statement previously filed with the bankruptcy court on December 16, 2009. Also on December 21, 2009, the bankruptcy court entered an order, among other things, approving the Disclosure Statement, establishing certain record dates and approving procedures for soliciting, receiving and tabulating votes on the Plan.
The Debtors recommend that its stakeholders refer to the limitations and qualifications included in the Plan and Disclosure Statement, as applicable, with respect to the information contained therein. Information contained in the Plan and Disclosure Statement is subject to change, whether as a result of amendments to the Plan, actions of third parties or otherwise.
This announcement is not intended to be, nor should it be, construed as a solicitation for a vote on the Plan. The Plan will become effective only if it receives the requisite stakeholder approval and is confirmed by the bankruptcy court.
