Third Distribution of Certain Liquidating Trust Assets to Liquidating Trust Beneficiaries holding Allowed Claims

Pursuant to and in accordance with the Joint Plan of Advanta Corp., et al., under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (as supplemented, modified, or amended, the "Plan"), the Trustee [1] of the AC Trust and ASSC Trust has made a third Distribution of certain Liquidating Trust Assets to Liquidating Trust Beneficiaries holding Allowed Claims (the “Third Distribution”).

The Third Distribution represents the following recoveries:

  • Retail Note claims against the AC Trust recovered 17.5 cents on the dollar;
  • General unsecured claims against the AC Trust recovered 10.4 cents on the dollar; and
  • General unsecured claims against ASSC Trust recovered 1.0 cent on the dollar

The Initial Distribution, the Second Distribution and the Third Distribution altogether represent the following cumulative recoveries:

  • Retail Note claims against the AC Trust recovered 83.2 cents on the dollar;
  • General unsecured claims against the AC Trust recovered 49.3 cents on the dollar;
  • General unsecured claims against ASSC Trust recovered 86.2 cents on the dollar;
  • General unsecured claims against the Advanta Finance Trust recovered 100 cents on the dollar;
  • General unsecured claims against the AMCUSA Trust recovered 100 cents on the dollar; and

The Third Distribution was made in accordance with the terms of the Plan and reflects total cash available for distribution after accounting for appropriate and necessary reserves. Such reserves account for, among other things, winding up of the taxation and other corporate affairs of Advanta Corp and its remaining subsidiaries, other outstanding issues and prospective Trust expenses. The Trustee expects to make additional distributions to Liquidating Trust Beneficiaries holding Allowed Claims in accordance with the terms of the Plan as Liquidating Trust Assets are monetized.

[THIRD DISTRIBUTION ANALYSIS]

Further to the Third Distribution made to holders, the Trustee and its professionals are continuing to work in close consultation with the Trust Advisory Board on all remaining matters that require resolution to enable further distributions to be made, including, most significantly, the timing of the monetization of the Visa shares that have ownership restrictions pending conclusion of litigation. At this time, however, these issues remain unresolved and the Trustee is not yet in a position to provide additional information regarding the timing or amount of further distributions. The Trustee will seek to make distributions as quickly as practicable when funds become available. The Trustee will announce further updates on the website http://advantareorg.com as material events occur.
