Certain Creditors are exempted from the requirement to file a Proof of Claim
. Among those creditors who do not need to file a Proof of Claim are (i) current or former employees of the Debtors, for amounts owing to him or her in his or her capacity as a current or former employee of any of the Debtors, and (ii) individual bondholders in respect of Claims relating solely to the debt evidenced by their bonds. Please consult the Claims Procedure Order made on July 30, 2009 for details with respect to these and other exemptions.
PLEASE NOTE that these procedures apply ONLY to claims filed against the Debtors in the CCAA proceedings.
Several of the Debtors’ affiliates are subject to creditor protection proceedings in other jurisdictions, including in the United States. Separate proceedings and deadlines have been or will be established in those cases for the filing of claims. With respect to the U.S. proceedings, a general bar date of September 30, 2009 at 4:00 p.m. (prevailing Eastern Time) has been established by the U.S. Court. If you believe you have claims against the U.S. Debtors, any such claims must be filed in, and only in, the U.S. proceedings with the U.S. Debtors’ claims agent. A list of the U.S. Debtors and procedures for filing such claims in the U.S. Proceedings can be found by going to the following internet link:
