Item 1.03 Bankruptcy of Receivership.
As previously reported, on May 25, 2010, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California, Santa Ana Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”) entered an Order (the “May 25 Order”) confirming Signature Group Holdings, LLC’s Chapter 11 Fourth Amended Plan of Reorganization of Fremont General Corporation, Joined by James McIntyre as Co-Plan Proponent, dated May 11, 2010 (the “May 11 Plan”). On June 9, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Amended Order”) amending the May 25 Order. Both the May 25 Order and the Amended Order allow non-material technical modifications to the Signature Plan without further approval or order, and the final confirmed plan is Signature Group Holdings, LLC’s Chapter 11 Fourth Amended Plan of Reorganization, Joined by James McIntyre as Co-Plan Proponent, dated June 8, 2010 (the “Plan”).
The summary of the Plan and the Amended Order highlighting certain provisions of the Plan and the Amended Order does not differ in any material respect from the summary of the May 25 Order and the May 11 Plan provided in “Item 1.03 Bankruptcy or Receivership” to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 1, 2010, which is incorporated herein by reference and which summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the texts of the Plan and the Amended Order, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2, respectively.
Information as to the assets and liabilities of the Company as of the date that the Amended Order was entered, or a date as close thereto as practicable, was attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 1, 2010, which is incorporated herein by reference.
