On December 15, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Confirmation Order”) confirming the First Amended Joint Plan of Liquidation of Schwab Industries, Inc., et al. (the “Plan”). Pursuant to the confirmed Plan, substantially all of the remaining assets of the Debtors have been transferred to a Creditor Trust. John B. Pidcock has been appointed the initial Creditor Trustee of the Creditor Trust, and he has retained Freeborn & Peters LLP as his lead counsel. Among other things, the Creditor Trustee has been granted the authority to: (1) liquidate remaining assets of the estates; (2) reconcile and object to claims filed or scheduled in the Debtors’ cases; (3) pursue estate causes of action – including avoidance actions under Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code – for the benefit of creditors; and (4) distribute estate assets to holders of allowed claims in accordance with the Plan. The Creditor Trustee’s activities will be governed by an Oversight Committee, consisting of representatives of the Debtors and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors formed during the Debtors’ chapter 11 cases.

Freeborn & Peters has established this website, at the Creditor Trustee’s request, to provide information to creditors and solicit and receive comments from creditors.
