Chapter 9 or 11—Plan and Disclosure Statement

activein force · 2024-12-01 – presentact-effective-date

(a) IN GENERAL. In a Chapter 9 or 11 case, every proposed plan

or modification must be dated. In a Chapter 11 case, the plan or

modification must also name the entity or entities proposing or

filing it.

(b) FILING A DISCLOSURE STATEMENT.

(1) In General. In a Chapter 9 or 11 case, unless (2) applies, the

disclosure statement, if required by § 1125—or evidence showing compliance with § 1126(b)—must be filed with the plan or at

another time set by the court.

(2) Providing Information Under § 1125(f)(1). A plan intended to

provide adequate information under § 1125(f)(1) must be so designated. Rule 3017.1 then applies as if the plan were a disclosure statement.

(c) INJUNCTION IN A PLAN. If the plan provides for an injunction

against conduct not otherwise enjoined by the Code, the plan and

disclosure statement must:

(1) describe in specific and conspicuous language (bold, ital-

ic, or underlined text) all acts to be enjoined; and

(2) identify the entities that would be subject to the injunction.

(d) F ORM OF A DISCLOSURE STATEMENT AND PLAN IN A SMALL

BUSINESS CASE OR A CASE UNDER SUBCHAPTER V OF CHAPTER 11. In

a small business case or a case under Subchapter V of Chapter 11,

the court may approve a disclosure statement that substantially

conforms to Form 425B and confirm a plan that substantially conforms to Form 425A—or, in either instance, to a standard form approved by the court.
