FTX Receives U.S. Bankruptcy Court Confirmation Of Its Plan Of Reorganization

(MENAFN- PR Newswire) WILMINGTON, Del, Oct. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- FTX Trading Ltd. (d.b.a. FTX) and its affiliated debtors ("FTX" or the "Debtors") today announced that the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court" or the "Court") has confirmed FTX's Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan"), less than two years after its historic bankruptcy filing.

Under the terms of the Plan, 98% of the creditors of FTX by number will receive approximately 119% of the amount of their allowed claims within 60 days after the effective date of the Plan, subject to know-your-customer and other distribution requirements. FTX projects that the total value of property collected, converted to cash and available for distribution will be between $14.7 billion and $16.5 billion. This amount includes assets under the control of the chapter 11 Debtors as well as assets under the control of the Joint Official Liquidators of FTX Digital Markets, Ltd. (Bahamas), the Administrators of FTX Australia, the United States Department of Justice and dozens of private parties that have cooperated in the recovery efforts. The Debtors will separately announce in due course the Plan's effective date and estimated first distribution date.

John J. Ray III, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Restructuring Officer of FTX, said: "The Court's
confirmation of our
Plan
is a significant milestone on our pathway to
distributing cash to customers
and creditors.
Today's achievement is only possible
because of the
experience and tireless
work
of
the team of professionals
supporting
this case,
who
have
recovered
billions of dollars by
rebuilding
FTX's books from the ground
up
and from there marshaling
assets from around the globe.
It
also reflects
the
strong
collaboration
we
have
had with
governments and
agencies from around the world that share our goal of mitigating the wrongdoings of
the
FTX
insiders."

Mr. Ray
added: "Looking ahead,
we
are poised to
return 100% of bankruptcy claim amounts plus interest for non-governmental creditors through what will be the
largest and most complex bankruptcy estate
asset distribution
in history. The estate is working to finalize arrangements to make distributions to creditors across more than 200 jurisdictions around the world. In preparation for this process, we are
finalizing agreements to retain
specialized agents
to assist us in getting recoveries to customers around the world as safely and expeditiously as possible.
I want to thank
all customers and creditors of FTX for their patience throughout this process."
