HA-LO Industries, Inc. ("HA-LO") is filing the reports required to be filed with the United States Trustee under Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 2015 of Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code, under the cover of Form 8-K in lieu of filings on Form 10-Q and Form 10-K.
On February 3, 2003, HA-LO filed its December 2002 monthly Rule 2015 United States Trustee report with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division (the "Bankruptcy Court"). Copies of the required documents in this December 2002 report are attached hereto as an exhibit and incorporated herein by reference.
HA-LO remains a debtor, with two of its subsidiaries, Lee Wayne Corporation and Starbelly.com, Inc. (the "Debtors") in three separate, although jointly administered, Chapter 11 cases (the "Cases") in case number 02 B 12059, and continues to work towards emerging from bankruptcy. To date, although discussions have commenced between the Debtors and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors regarding the form and content of a plan or plans of reorganization, no plan or plans of reorganization have been filed or confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court.
Even with the discussions and events to date, the holders of equity interests in HA-LO remain unlikely to receive or retain anything of value on account of their interests in HA-LO in the bankruptcy.
Persons interested in more information concerning the Cases, or the Debtors' financial performance, are encouraged to review the pleadings, reports and other papers on file in the Office of the Clerk of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, Everett McKinley Dirksen Federal Building, 219 S. Dearborn Street, Chicago, Illinois.
