Item 5. Other Events

As previously reported, on December 11, 2002, Avatex Corporation (“Avatex”) and five subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) each filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division, and are consolidated under the Company’s case no. 02-81268-SAF-11. On April 11, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Debtors’ First Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization, as Modified (the “Plan”). The Plan became effective on April 22, 2003.

Under the Plan, (i) holders of the 6.75% notes issued by Avatex Funding, Inc. as of the Effective Date received beneficial interests in the Avatex Liquidating Trust that is being created pursuant to the Plan, (ii) holders of Avatex’s common stock who filed proofs of interest in the chapter 11 case received junior beneficial interests in the Avatex Liquidating Trust, and (ii) all warrants to purchase Avatex’s common stock were cancelled as of the Effective Date. Beneficial interests in the Avatex Liquidating Trust are uncertificated and generally non-assignable and nontransferable. As a result, there are no longer any holders of any securities of a class issued by the Debtors that is registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
