BAR DATE NOTICE FAQS
The Bankruptcy Court has set November 30, 2009 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time as the deadline for creditors, including governmental units, to file Proofs of Claim based on
claims that arose prior to June 1, 2009. This deadline is commonly referred to as the
“Bar Date.” Proofs of claim must actually be received by the Debtors prior to the Bar
Date. If you do not file your Proof of Claim before this deadline, you will lose your
potential claim against the Debtors.
