If any of the moving shareholders read this board, I can be contacted to provide some of my own perspective on the case so far. Maybe give a different viewpoint that will aid with the passing of your motion on the 17th.
Feel free to PM me.
Few things on my mind now though..
A) ANR shareholders will not have adequate representation without an official committee due to the fact that DIP lenders have placed numerous restrictions on the case including when the Debtors can propose a plan of reorganization. (Among the other restrictions mentioned in your motion)
B) It can be argued that the debtors were solvent on the eve of the filing due to the fact that debtors management have touted this bankruptcy as a "pro-active move"
How has Arch coal not declared Bankruptcy yet? their financials are worst then Alphas.
Arguably, Alpha made the right decision declaring bankruptcy to use the protections offered by BK code, but that does not mean Shareholders should be instantly forgotten.
Hell, just a few months ago Alpha released an investors presentation. (as mentioned in your motion of course)
Why must Longs and Shorts hate each other? Can't we all just get aLONG?
