If the plan proposes that the business will continue, state who will be in charge and the annual compensation to be paid to each, including fringe benefits. State the tax ramifications for the continuing entity if the plan is confirmed. C. VI. Legal requirements, as follows: (The following shall be incorporated verbatim into the disclosure statement.) A. Voting procedures Under the Bankruptcy Code, the only classes that are entitled to vote to accept or reject a plan are classes of claims, or equity interest, that are impaired under the plan. Accordingly, classes of claims or interests that are not impaired are not entitled to vote on the plan. Creditors that hold claims in more than one impaired class are entitled to vote separately in each class. Such a creditor will receive a separate ballot for all of its claims in each class (in accordance with the records of the Clerk of the Court) and should complete and sign each ballot separately. A creditor who asserts a claim in more than one class and who has not been provided with sufficient ballots may photocopy the ballot received and file multiple ballots. Votes on the plan will be counted only with respect to claims: (a) that are listed on the Debtor=s Schedules of Assets and Liabilities other than as disputed, contingent or unliquidated; or (b) for which a proof of claim was filed on or before the bar date set by the Court for the filing of proofs of claim (except for certain claims expressly excluded from that bar date or which are allowed by Court order). However, any vote by a holder of a claim will not be counted if such claim has been disallowed or is the subject of an unresolved objection, absent an order of the Court allowing such claim for voting purposes pursuant to 11 U.S.C. ' 502 and Bankruptcy Rule 3018. Voting on the plan by each holder of a claim or interest in an impaired class is important. After carefully reviewing the plan and disclosure statement, each holder of such a claim or interest should vote on the enclosed ballot either to accept or to reject the plan, and then return the ballot by mail to the debtor=s attorney by the deadline previously established by the court. Any ballot that does not appropriately indicate acceptance or rejection of the plan will not be counted. A ballot that is not received by the deadline will not be counted. If a ballot is damaged, lost, or missing, a replacement ballot may be obtained by sending a written request to the debtor=s attorney. (iii) American LegalNet, Inc. www.FormsWorkFlow.com B. Acceptance The Bankruptcy Code defines acceptance of a plan by an impaired class of claims as acceptance by the holders of at least two-thirds in dollar amount, and more than one-half in number, of the claims of that class which actuall
