General Motors Unsecured Creditors' Committee Launches Bankruptcy Website
NEW YORK, Aug. 20, 2009 -- The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of General Motors Corp. (n/k/a Motors Liquidation Company) announces the launch of its new bankruptcy information website: www.motorsliquidationcreditorscommittee.com
On June 1, 2009, General Motors Corp. and certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, "Old GM") filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. On June 3, 2009, the United States Trustee appointed 15 of the largest unsecured creditors to serve as the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Old GM. One of the Committee's responsibilities is to provide access to information for all of Old GM's general unsecured creditors. On August 3, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the Committee to establish a website to provide information and communicate with Old GM's creditors.
The Committee website offers an opportunity for general unsecured creditors of Old GM to submit their questions to the Committee and its professional advisors. The website also provides information about the material aspects of Old GM's bankruptcy case, which is continuing under Old GM's new name: "Motors Liquidation Company." Aspects of the bankruptcy case include:
-- names of the current members of the unsecured creditors' committee; -- deadlines for filing proofs of claim and the forms for filing proofs of claim in the chapter 11 cases; -- contact information for the primary parties in the chapter 11 cases; -- access to key court documents in the chapter 11 cases; -- a "frequently asked questions" section about the chapter 11 cases; and -- general bankruptcy overview.
The information on the website was created by, and is being maintained by, Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP, which is counsel to the Committee in Old GM's chapter 11 case.
