On February 2, 2000, the Debtors received Bankruptcy Court authority to procedurally consolidate their chapter 11 cases for administrative purposes only under the case name In re: AMERISERVE FOOD DISTRIBUTION, INC., et al., Case No. 00-0358 (PJW). The Debtors have continued to operate their businesses as debtors in possession during the chapter 11 cases. By order dated on or about October 20, 2000, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Debtors' Third Amended Disclosure Statement for Debtors' Third Amended Joint Liquidating Plan of Reorganization Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Disclosure Statement"), in accordance with section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code, as containing "adequate information". By order dated as of November 28, 2000 (the "Confirmation Order"), the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Debtors' Third Amended Joint Liquidating Plan of Reorganization Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the "Plan"). The Confirmation Order is a final order. The Plan became effective on December 1, 2000. Pursuant to the Plan, the Debtors sold substantially all of their assets to McLane Company, Inc. ("McLane") on the terms and conditions described in the Plan. Set forth below is a summary of the treatment of all claims and interests under the Plan. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.28, and the Confirmation Order, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.31.

1 This figure is the Debtors' best estimate as of October 20, 2000 and is based, in part, on Claims filed through such date. In addition, this estimate includes certain Administrative Expense Claims that McLane has agreed to assume under the McLane Purchase Agreement. 2 The Debtors have already paid in excess of $29 million in PACA Claims, and are reconciling and/or contesting the remaining portion of the PACA Claims. This estimate assumes that the Debtors are unsuccessful in contesting all of the remaining unsecured PACA Claims 3 Taxing authorities have filed Secured Claims in the approximate amount of $2 million. The Debtors are continuing to investigate the validity and classification of these Claims and may seek to expunge them and/or reclassify them as Priority Tax Claims, Priority Non-Tax Claims and/or General Unsecured Claims. 4 It is impossible to predict with any degree of certainty the range of recoveries available to Tricon due to the speculative nature of the Bankruptcy Causes of Action. Accordingly, recoveries on account of Allowed Tricon Claims could be as low as zero. 5 The current estimate of allowed General Unsecured Claims includes 2-1/2 times the amount of Allowed Reclamation Claims. General Unsecured Claims have been filed in an amount in excess of Ten Billion Dollars ($10,000,000,000). 6 It is impossible to predict with any degree of certainty the range of recoveries available to General Unsecured Claimants due to the speculative nature of the Bankruptcy Causes of Action. Accordingly, recoveries on account of Allowed General Unsecured Claims could be as low as zero. 7 It is impossible to predict with any degree of certainty the range of recoveries available to Reclamation Claimants due to the speculative nature of the Bankruptcy Causes of Action. Accordingly, recoveries on account of Allowed Reclamation Claims could be as low as zero. Upon the entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court, all matters provided under the Plan involving the corporate structure of the Debtors were deemed authorized and approved without any requirement of further action by the Debtors, the Debtors' shareholders or the Debtors' boards of directors. The Debtors (and their boards of directors) shall dissolve or otherwise terminate their existence following the Effective Date and are authorized to dissolve or terminate the existence of wholly-owned non-Debtor subsidiaries following the Effective Date.
