I have been a holder of the Zenith Debentures for many years, I have followed Bob's efforts on behalf of the shareholders with much appreciation. I received a 4 page letter and a Disclosure Statement of about 350 pages yesterday. I think it will be of interest to stockholders. The letter says that a majority in numbers that hold 66 2/3% of the dollar value of debt can accept the restructuring, but note the effect of checking Item 5.
"If you hold our subordinated debt and do not wish to consent to the releases granted in favor of certain directors of the Company, certain investors in the Company, certain holders of the subordinated debt as provided in the restructuring plan, you should check the box under Item 5 of your Ballot. The Company is aware that certain security holders have asserted or may assert that claims exist against one or more of the investors and/or directors designated by LG Electronics Inc. relating to the development of the proposed restructuring. Such claims include or might include alleged breach of fiduciary duties, violation of securities law, or other conduct allegedly inconsistent with applicable law. To the extent any such claims exist, and to the extent that such claims are held by the Company or by holders of the subordinated debt that have accepted the restructuring, or if the class of holders of subordinated debt has voted in favor of the restructuring or if the holder of subordinated debt is entitled to receive a distribution of property under the restructuring, such claims will be released by the terms of the restructuring, unless such holder of subordinated debt has marked a ballot so as not to consent to the releases. Moreover, all of the directors, investors and holders of subordinated debt entitled to receive the releases, including the directors designated by LG Electronics Inc., would receive the benefits of the exculpation provisions of the of the restructuring, which might impair certain causes of action not affected by the releases in the restructuring.
It is a condition to consummation of our restructuring plan that no more than 5% of the holders of subordinated debt shall have checked the box under Item 5." |
