Item 3. Bankruptcy or Receivership.
On August 31, 2000, the District Court of the State of Delaware (the
"Court") entered an order approving the plan of reorganization (as amended, the
"Plan") pursuant to which Safety Components International, Inc. (the
"Registrant") and certain of its domestic subsidiaries (collectively, "Safety
Components") plan to emerge from their pre-arranged cases under Chapter 11 of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Subject to fulfillment of the conditions precedent to
emergence, Safety Components is expected to emerge from Chapter 11 in early
October.
As of July 29, 2000, the Registrant had $167.3 million of assets and $186.7
million of liabilities. Pursuant to the Plan, as confirmed, all of the
Registrant's 10-1/8% senior notes due 2007 (an aggregate of appproximately $96.8
million) will be converted into the right to receive 96.8% of the Registrant's
post-bankruptcy common stock, and the current share of common stock, excluding
stock held by Robert Zummo (Chairman of the Registrant), will receive 3.2% of
the Registrant's post-bankruptcy common stock and warrants to acquire 12% of
such common stock. Immediately upon emergence, the Registrant will have
5,000,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and, other than the
warrants, no shares of common stock will be reserved for issuance in respect of
claims and interests filed and allowed under the Plan. In addition, the Plan
provides that all of Safety Components' trade suppliers and other creditors will
be paid in full.
The Plan and the Registrant's press release dated as of August 31, 2000
regarding the approval of the Plan are attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to
this Current Report and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing
summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to such documents.
On August 31, 2000, the Court also entered an order approving the sale by
the Registrant of its wholly-owned subsidiary Valentec Systems, Inc. to VTECH
Corporation for aggregate consideration of approximately $4.15 million. The
press release of the Registrant dated as of September 1, 2000 regarding the sale
is attached as Exhibit 99.3 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by
reference.
