On
May 17, 2006, Global Preferred Holdings, Inc. (“Global
Preferred”) transferred its remaining assets and liabilities
to GPH Liquidating Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware
statutory trust formed as a liquidating trust as contemplated
by Global Preferred's Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution
approved by the stockholders of Global Preferred on May 10,
2006. The operations of the Trust are controlled by a Stockholders'
Liquidating Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”)
dated May 17, 2006 executed by Joseph F. Barone and Milan
M. Radonich as Managing Trustees, Caryl P. Shepherd as Administrator
and Wilmington Trust Company as Delaware Resident Trustee.
Messrs. Barone and Radonich are also directors of Global Preferred
and Ms. Shepherd is the Chief Accounting Officer and Vice
President of Global Preferred. The stockholders of Global
Preferred, as of June 1, 2005, are the beneficiaries of the
Trust.
The transfer of Global Preferred's assets and liabilities
to the Trust will permit Global Preferred to comply with the
requirements of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization Agreement,
effective May 25, 2005, (the “Reorganization Agreement”)
as well as the requirements for corporate dissolution under
Delaware law. The Trust Agreement provides that the Trust
shall proceed to liquidate the assets and satisfy the claims
of creditors in accordance with Delaware law. Assets remaining
after such efforts are to be distributed to the beneficiaries
in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement and the
requirements of Delaware law. The Managing Trustees may, from
time to time, authorize the distribution of some or all of
the Trust assets if the Managing Trustees determine that such
distributions may be made in compliance with the Trust Agreement
and Delaware law. The Liquidating Trust Agreement provides
that the Trust will terminate on June 1, 2008, unless the
final distribution to the beneficiaries has not yet been made.
No assurance can be given whether any amounts deposited into
the Trust will ultimately be distributed to the stockholders
and, if distributed, when such distribution would occur, nor
can it be certain that the amounts deposited in the Trust
will be adequate to pay all claims arising with respect to
the Trust and the dissolution of Global Preferred.
The information provided here is only a summary of the all
of the information available. For additional information,
please refer to the Form 8-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on May 19, 2006 and other documents Global
Preferred has filed, from time to time, including the Annual
Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. You
