BANKRUPTCY COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
WEST PALM BEACH DIVISION
In re: Chapter 11
eCOM eCOM.COM, INC. Case No. 04-35435-BKC-SHF
Debtor.
NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS
eCom eCom.com, Inc. (the "Debtor") and American Capital Holdings, Inc.("ACH") filed the "Joint Plan of Reorganization of Debtor and American Capital Holdings, Inc." on August 18, 2006 (the "Plan") and the "Disclosure Statement for the Joint Plan of Reorganization of Debtor and American Capital Holdings, Inc." on August 25, 2006 (the "Disclosure Statement"). Although the Plan and Disclosure Statement originally provided that votes would not be solicited from holders of Allowed Equity Interests (and, therefore, Ballots would not be provided), the Debtor and ACH have modified the Plan to provide for soliciting votes from holders of Allowed Equity Interests. On January 3, 2007, the Debtor and ACH filed their amended Plan ("First Amended Plan") and amended Disclosure Statement ("First Amended Disclosure Statement") with the Bankruptcy Court.
By order dated December 28, 2006, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida, West Palm Beach Division ("Bankruptcy Court") approved the First Amended Disclosure Statement. Under the First Amended Plan all holders of common stock in the Debtor (a) are classified as Class 4 Equity Interests, and (b) will retain their Allowed Equity Interests subject, however, to dilution as a result of New Common Stock to be issued in accordance with the First Amended Plan to (x) holders of Allowed Unsecured Claims who elect to receive New Common Stock instead of Cash, and (y) ACH in satisfaction of the debtor-in-possession financing previously loaned to the Debtor.
By order dated August 4, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the Debtor to provide electronic notice upon holders of Equity Interests; provided, however, that notice of the hearing for confirmation of the First Amended Plan and copies of ballots ("Ballots") for voting on the First Amended Plan must be served upon shareholders, as of the relevant record date, by United States Mail. Copies of the First Amended Plan and First Amended Disclosure Statement have been posted on the Debtor's website: www.ecomecom.net. Consequently, the Debtor and ACH now intend to solicit votes on the First Amended Plan from holders of Allowed Equity Interests.
Enclosed is a Ballot
for voting on the First Amended Plan. If the First Amended Plan is confirmed or
approved by the Bankruptcy Court, holders of Allowed Equity Interests will be permitted
to retain their Equity Interests, subject, however, to dilution as provided
hereinabove. On the other hand, if the First Amended Plan is not confirmed or
approved, and this case
is converted to Chapter 7 liquidation, then the Debtor will be liquidated and
it is unlikely that creditors and holders of Equity Interests will receive any
distributions. However, it
is recommended that holders of Equity Interests review the First Amended Plan and First Amended Disclosure Statement
in their entirety.
In order to cast a Ballot and vote in connection with the First Amended Plan, please fill out the enclosed Ballot and file in accordance with the "Instructions for Completing the Ballot."
The Bankruptcy Court has scheduled a hearing
on March 12, 2007 at 1:30 P.M. (Eastern time) to consider confirmation of the First Amended Plan at the
United States Bankruptcy Court,
No further notice will be provided. Shareholders may obtain copies of the First Amended Plan and First Amended Disclosure Statement at www.ecomecom.net at no charge. Similarly, copies of the Bankruptcy Court's order setting the hearing on confirmation of the First Amended Plan may be obtained at no charge from www.ecomecom.net.
