22. Ongoing Chapter 11 Matters


Resolution of Outstanding Claims


Pursuant to the confirmation of the Plan of Reorganization on April 16, 2010, a claims agent was appointed to analyze and, at his discretion, contest outstanding disputed claims totaling $1.5 billion. On July 16, 2014, a final order was entered by the Bankruptcy Court closing all Chapter 11 cases. The Company recognized a gain of $3.2 million relating to reversal of its reserve for bankruptcy claims for fiscal 2014. This amount has been recorded within Interest income and other, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.


As of December 28, 2014, the Company had resolved all outstanding disputed claims and had distributed the 46,264,760 shares of the Company’s stock that were reserved for holders of allowed general unsecured claims.
