LDK Solar Commences Chapter 11 and Chapter 15 Cases at U.S. Bankruptcy Court

GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands, and SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — LDK Solar CO., Ltd. in provisional liquidation (“LDK Solar”) and its Joint Provisional Liquidators, Tammy Fu and Eleanor Fisher, both of Zolfo Cooper (Cayman) Limited, announced today that on October 21, 2014 three U.S. subsidiaries of LDK Solar, LDK Solar Systems, Inc., LDK Solar USA, Inc. and LDK Solar Tech USA, Inc. (collectively, the “U.S. Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Chapter 11 Cases”). The U.S. Debtors commenced the Chapter 11 Cases in order to implement the prepackaged plan of reorganization (the “Prepackaged Plan”), with respect to which the U.S. Debtors launched a solicitation of votes on September 17, 2014 from the holders of LDK Solar’s 10% Senior Notes due 2014 (the “Senior Notes”), as guarantors of the Senior Notes, and required such holders of the Senior Notes to return their ballots by October 15, 2014. Holders of the Senior Notes voted overwhelmingly in favor of accepting the Prepackaged Plan.

Contemporaneously with the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, on October 21, 2014, LDK Solar filed a petition in the same U.S. Bankruptcy Court for recognition of the provisional liquidation proceeding in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, as previously announced by LDK Solar (the “Cayman Proceeding”), as a foreign main proceeding under Chapter 15 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Chapter 15 Case”).

At a hearing on October 22, 2014, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court ordered customary relief including the authority for the Debtors to continue to maintain their existing banking structure, to honor all obligations to employees, and to continue all of their ordinary course activities during the restructuring. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court also scheduled a hearing for November 21, 2014 at which it will consider confirmation of the Prepackaged Plan and Chapter 15 recognition of the Cayman Proceeding.

Both the Chapter 11 Cases and Chapter 15 Case are vital steps in LDK Solar’s offshore restructuring, which LDK Solar hopes to conclude in 2014. More information about the Chapter 11 Cases and Chapter 15 Case are available on the website of the U.S. Debtors’ U.S. Voting Agent, Epiq Bankruptcy Solutions, LLC, at (http://dm.epiq11.com/LDK).
