The bankruptcy case is pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California, Los Angeles Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”), as Case No. 2:12-bk-31372-ER. As also previously reported, on August 23, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the proposed plan of reorganization filed with the Bankruptcy Court by the Company (the “Plan”).
