The U.S. Debtors previously filed voluntary petitions in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court on October 21, 2014 to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.
In addition to entry of the Confirmation Order, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court also entered an order (the "Recognition Order") recognizing LDK Solar's provisional liquidation proceeding in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands as a foreign main proceeding under Chapter 15 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, and an additional order (the "Enforcement Order") recognizing and giving full force and effect in the jurisdiction of the United States to LDK Solar's Cayman Islands scheme of arrangement.
"We are very pleased that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court has confirmed our prepack plan for our U.S. subsidiaries and has recognized our Cayman Islands scheme of arrangement. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court's rulings, which follow favorable rulings from the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands and the High Court of Hong Kong, are the final court approvals necessary for us to execute the various documents with our creditors to consummate the international restructuring of our offshore liabilities," stated Xingxue Tong, Interim Chairman, President and CEO of LDK Solar. "Now with more than US$700 million in our offshore claims judicially approved for restructuring, we can focus our attention on rebuilding LDK Solar's position in the marketplace," concluded Mr. Tong.
Copies of the Chapter 11 Plan, Confirmation Order, Recognition Order and Enforcement Order are available on the website of the U.S. Debtors' agent, Epiq Bankruptcy Solutions, LLC, at (http://dm.epiq11.com/LDK).
