APPENDIX O

 

Sample Plan—Liquidation

The following plan is, as of the time of publication, currently proposed for confirmation in the Baptist Foundation of Arizona bankruptcy in Phoenix, Arizona. With combined debts of over $800 million, the case is the largest bankruptcy of a charitable organization in U.S. history. The Baptist Foundation's failure derives from what is known as "affinity fraud" — using victims' unquestioning faith in a religious or charitable organization to encourage investment in speculative and undercapitalized ventures. The Baptist Foundation's not-for-profit status made it exempt from securities laws and able to sell its securities without disclosing the speculative nature of the Baptist Foundation's investments. In the Chapter 11 case, to realize at least a significant return to the security-holders (many of whom are elderly pensioners and some of whom had invested most of their net worth), the plan of reorganization effects a "controlled liquidation" of the Baptist Foundation, distributing to creditors beneficial shares in a liquidating trust and certificates in two asset pools (held by newly-created entities) that will be held for a term of years to allow those assets to mature and produce income to creditors. The Baptist Foundation of Arizona will, shortly after confirmation, be dissolved. The plan also involves the substantive consolidation of the 90 plus estates of the debtor entities.

INTRODUCTION

Baptist Foundation of Arizona ("BFA"), Arizona Southern Baptist New Church Ventures, Inc. ("NCV"), ALO, Inc. ("ALO"), E.V.I.G., Inc. ("EVIG"), and their subsidiaries and affiliates that are Chapter 11 debtors ("Chapter 11 Affiliates" and, together with BFA, NCV, ALO and EVIG, the "Debtors") propose the following joint plan of reorganization (the "Plan") for the resolution of their outstanding Claims including, without limitation, all Investor Claims and Equity Interests. All Creditors and other parties-in-interest should refer to the Disclosure Statement Summary and the Disclosure Statement contemporaneously filed with the Plan, for a discussion of the Debtors' history, business, properties, results of operations, risk factors, a summary and analysis of the Plan, and other related matters. The Debtors are the proponents of the Plan within the meaning of Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code.

All holders of claims against the Debtors are encouraged to read the Plan, the Disclosure Statement Summary, the Disclosure Statement and the related solicitation materials in their entirety before voting to accept or reject the Plan.

The Plan provides for the orderly sale over time of the assets of the Debtors and the Non-Debtor Affiliates (as defined below). To facilitate the orderly sale of such assets, a Liquidating Trust will be created. To minimize administrative costs and preserve certain favorable tax advantages, including a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $150,000,000, the Liquidating Trust will hold all of the capital stock in the New Residential Real Estate Subsidiary and the sole membership interest in the New Asset Subsidiary, LLC (as both terms are defined below). All of the assets of the Debtors and the Non-Debtor Affiliates will be transferred to either the New Residential Real Estate Subsidiary or the New Asset Subsidiary, LLC , subject to any valid and enforceable Liens, except as otherwise provided in the Plan.

In addition, under the Plan, the Debtors and the Non-Debtor Affiliates will transfer and assign any and all claims and causes of action of any kind that they may have to the Liquidating Trust. The Liquidating Trust will be governed and administered by the Liquidating Trustee, and all periodic cash distributions to the holders of Allowed Claims under the Plan will be made by the Liquidating Trust.

Following the Effective Date, the Debtors and the Non-Debtor Affiliates will no longer conduct their business. This Plan also provides for the dissolution of the Debtors and the Non-Debtor Affiliates following the Effective Date.

Subject to the restrictions on modifications set forth in Section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 3019, and those restrictions on

modification set forth in the Plan, the Debtors reserve the right to alter, amend, modify, revoke or withdraw this Plan prior to its substantial consummation.
