"Tiegroo, a court-appointed Equity Committee generally has powers of the court and funding provided by the Debtor"s Estate that is generally not limited. The EC also has full powers to see all documents concerning the case and has a seat at the negotiating table.
An AdHoc Equity Committee has very minimal funds and limited powers set by the Judge and has limited access to the Debtor's filings and material. The AdHoc EC doesn't have a seat at the table and generally no negotiating powers."
