Arcapita Bank yesterday announced that a US court has approved the disclosure statement for the amended Chapter 11 plan of reorganisation. The court's decision relates to the adequacy of the disclosures in the disclosure statement about the company and the plan, and the process for voting on it. In early May, the plan will be submitted to creditors for a vote, and following this, presented to the US court for confirmation. A hearing to confirm the plan has been scheduled before the US court for June 11. The provisions of Chapter 11 allow the filing companies to continue to operate their businesses and manage their properties under the direction and control of their boards and management.
