THE PLAN PROPONENTS HAVE SEPARATELY NOTICED A HEARING TO CONSIDER THE ADEQUACY OF THE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT UNDER BANKRUPTCY CODE SECTION 1125. THE PLAN PROPONENTS RESERVE THE RIGHT TO MODIFY OR SUPPLEMENT THIS PLAN OF REORGANIZATION AND THE ACCOMPANYING DISCLOSURE STATEMENT PRIOR TO AND UP TO THE DATE OF SUCH HEARING. DOC ID - 22951903.12 -2- DISCLAIMER This Disclosure Statement describes a plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) for ASHINC Corporation and its affiliated-debtors (collectively, the “Debtors”). The Debtors, the Committee,2 and the First Lien Agents will ask the Bankruptcy Court to confirm the Plan. Confirmation is subject to certain material conditions, and there is no assurance that those conditions will be satisfied. 3 If the Bankruptcy Court confirms the Plan, the Plan Proponents intend to have the Plan become effective as promptly as possible thereafter and to make an initial distribution to certain holders of Claims against the Debtors from Cash on Hand held by the Debtors, the Winddown Reserve and the First Lien Reserves. The Plan Proponents intend to make some distribution to all holders of Allowed Claims, although not all distributions will be made in Cash. Rather, certain distributions will be in the nature of beneficial interests in the Allied Litigation Trust (subsequent Cash distributions may be made on account of such beneficial interests).4 The Plan Proponents request that each holder of an Impaired Claim that is entitled to vote on the Plan vote in favor of the Plan. The Plan Proponents recommend that voting creditors vote in favor of the Plan because the Plan Proponents believe that the Plan provides for the greatest possible recovery for all holders of Allowed Claims. To have your vote counted, you must return an executed ballot (each a “Ballot”) to the Claims Agent, Rust Consulting/Omni Bankruptcy on or before August 17, 2015 (the “Voting Deadline”). You may mail your Ballot to one of the addresses set forth on the Ballot. If your claim is in a Class that is entitled to vote on the Plan, enclosed with this disclosure statement (the “Disclosure Statement”) is a Ballot together with instructions for completing it. If you did not receive a Ballot and you are entitled to vote on the Plan, you may obtain a copy free of charge on the following website: http://omnimgt.com/alliedsystems, or by sending a letter to counsel to the Debtors at the address listed above. To be counted, your Ballot must be duly completed, executed, and actually received no later than the Voting Deadline. 2 Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan. 3 Yucaipa, a purported holder of First Lien Lender Claims and other Claims, has filed an objection to the Disclosure Statement and asserted objections to confirmation of the Plan, and may assert additional objections. You may obtain a copy of that objection free of charge on the following website: http://omnimgt.com/alliedsystems, under Court Docket No. 2991. 4 As set forth in further detail below, the holders of Allowed Second Lien Lender Claims are entitled to receive certain beneficial interests in the Allied Litigation Trust, but such holders are required to turn over any amounts received in connection with such beneficial interests to the First Lien Agents for distribution to the First Lien Lenders pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement until the First Lien Lenders have been indefeasibly paid in full in Cash.
