In a footnote as to the recovery potential for holders of general unsecured claims (ie Class 4), the Disclosure Statement notes, “The Debtors estimated at the time that $246,000 would be available for distribution to the Holders of Class 4 Allowed General Unsecured Claims against the U.S. Debtors following the payment of all senior Claims. This projected recovery, however, was dependent on the Debtors’ estimates as to the aggregate amount of the senior Claims to be paid from the Wind-Down Reserve and was therefore subject to fluctuate upwards or downwards in the event such estimates proved to be incorrect. The amount of the Wind-Down Reserve, however, proved insufficient to cover the actual amount of U.S. Professional Fee Claims, U.S. General Administrative Claims, U.S. Priority Tax Claims and Other Priority Claims against the U.S. Debtors asserted in the Chapter 11 Cases. Accordingly, following a series of good faith negotiations, the Prepetition Noteholders have consented to the additional use of their cash collateral in the manner reflected in the Plan. Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, as revised, the Prepetition Noteholders have agreed to fund a Post-Effective Date Trust Reserve in the amount of $485,000, which, along with any U.S. Litigation Proceeds, can be used to fund a potential distribution to Class 4 Holders of General Unsecured Claims against the U.S. Debtors following the payment of all Liquidating Trust Operating Expenses.”
