On November 1, 2006, our Board of Directors (the "Board") approved the Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution (the "Plan of Liquidation") and the filing of a motion (the "Motion") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court"). On December 4, 2006, the Bankruptcy Court granted our Motion and approved (i) the previously announced settlement of various litigations associated with The Thaxton Group, Inc. (the "Thaxton Settlement"), (ii) the ongoing sale of our remaining assets, the orderly wind down of our operations and our future dissolution, (iii) our sale of all or substantially all of our assets without stockholder approval and our future dissolution without stockholder approval at such time as our Board deems to be appropriate and (iv) channeling to the Bankruptcy Court any claims against us that the holders of our Senior Notes or the indenture trustee for the Senior Notes may have arising from or in any way related to our joint chapter 11 plan, the ongoing liquidation of FINOVA, the senior secured notes, or the wind down of our operations.
