Item 8.01 Other Events.
On September 4, 2008, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California (the “Bankruptcy Court”) entered the Stipulated Order Regarding the Claims Bar Date (“Bar Date Order”) authorizing and directing Fremont General Corporation (the “Company”) to send a notice (the “Notice”) that Monday, November 10, 2008 (the “Bar Date”) is the last day for all persons and entities holding or wishing to assert claims against Company to timely file a proof of claim form. The Company has made arrangements with Kurtzman Carson Consultants (“KKC”) to mail out the Notice together with a proof of claim form on Thursday, September 11, 2008. Pursuant to the Bar Date Order, the Company will also publish the contents of the Notice in the Wall Street Journal on September 12, 2008.
Pursuant to the Order, the Notice will inform creditors and parties in interest that any person or entity who asserts a claim against the Company that arose prior to June 18, 2008, the date on which the Company filed its voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Petition Date”), must timely file a proof of claim on or before the Bar Date, if such claim: (1) is not listed as a claim on the schedules of assets and liabilities (collectively, the “Schedules”) filed by the Company in its Chapter 11 case; (2) is listed on the Schedules as “disputed,” “contingent” or “unliquidated”; (3) is listed on the Schedules, but the recipient disagrees with the amount listed for such claim; or (4) is listed on the Schedules, but the recipient disagrees with the classification (or lack thereof) of such claim as an unsecured, priority or secured claim. The Notice informs the recipients that the term “claim” as used in the Notice has the broad meaning ascribed to it in section
101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, which includes any right to payment against the Company’s estate, irrespective of whether it is based on the Company’s primary, secondary, direct, indirect, fixed, secured, unsecured, contingent, guaranteed, disputed, undisputed, liquidated, unliquidated, matured, unmatured, legal or equitable liability, or otherwise.
The Notice will also inform creditors and parties in interest that, pursuant to Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 3003(b)(5), unless the recipient is the Indenture Trustee for the 7.875% Senior Notes due 2009 (the “Senior Notes”) or the Indenture Trustee for the 9% Junior Subordinated Debentures due March 31, 2026 (the “Junior Debentures”, and together with the Senior Notes, the “Notes”), or the recipient of the Notice asserts claims other than principal and interest on account of the Notes, that such recipient is not required to file a proof of claim for principal and interest on account of the Notes. Only the Indenture Trustees, and not individual noteholders, are required to assert claims for principal and interest on account of the Notes.
The Notice also informs equity security holders that that pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3003(b)(2), it is not necessary for an equity security holder to file a proof of interest. The Notice however informs an equity security holder that it must file a proof of claim if such equity security holder asserts any rights as a creditor against the Company. For example, if a holder of the Company’s common stock asserts a claim against the Company arising under state or federal securities laws, such a holder is required to file a proof of claim on or before the Bar Date, regardless of whether such claim by the equity security holder is subject to subordination under section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code.
The Notice discloses that the following persons or entities are NOT required to file a proof of claim on or before the applicable Bar Date: (a) any person or entity who already has properly filed a proof of claim for each claim asserted; and (b) any person or entity (i) whose claim is listed on the

 


 

Schedules of the Company and whose claim is not listed as “disputed,” “contingent,” or “unliquidated” and (ii) who agrees that such Schedules properly reflect: a) the amount of the claim asserted and b) the manner of classification of the claim asserted. As further provided in the Bar Date Order, certain exceptions from the Bar Date apply to filings of claims by co-debtors, governmental entities, persons holding claims arising from transfers avoided under Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code, and persons holding claims arising from a rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease.
In order to properly submit a proof of claim, such proof of claim must be delivered to the following address on or before 4 p.m. (CPT) on November 10, 2008:
United States Bankruptcy Court
Attn: Clerk of the Court
411 West Fourth Street
Santa Ana, CA 92701
Proofs of claim submitted via fax or e-mail will not be accepted.
A copy of the Bar Date Order is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Certain statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K may be deemed to be forward-looking statements under federal securities laws and the Company intends that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe-harbor created thereby. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the Company’s belief that there will be no recovery in respect of its outstanding common stock. The Company cautions that these statements are qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the outcome of litigation concerning certain causes of action of the Company, the results of the Company’s review of submitted claims and the Company’s ability to resolve contingent and unliquidated claims.

The Company assumes no, and hereby disclaims any, obligation to update the forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K.

     WHEREAS, Fremont General Corporation, the debtor and debtor in possession in the above-captioned chapter 11 case (the “Debtor”), filed a Chapter 11 Status Conference Report in which the Debtor explained that it was conferring with the two official committees regarding a proposed bar date and intended to address the matter at an August 14, 2008 status conference (the “Status Conference”) (see Docket No. 125 at 5:9-17);
     WHEREAS, the Debtor and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the “Creditors Committee”) discussed the need for the establishment of bar dates and a deadline for service of a bar date notice at the Status Conference;
     WHEREAS, the Court ruled at the Status Conference that the general bar date would be October 22, 2008 (the “Prior Bar Date”) and that a bar date notice was to be served by August 22, 2008 (the “Prior Notice Date”);
     WHEREAS, a specific form of bar date notice was not proposed for the Court to review prior to or at the Status Conference;
     WHEREAS, the Debtor and the Creditors Committee have since conferred about the need for giving notice of additional bar dates (other than the general bar date) as well as the desire for a form of bar date notice which modifies certain mandatory language contained in Local Bankruptcy Rule 3001-1 (“Rule 3001-1”) and which adds language not contained in Rule 3001-1, to be served on all known creditors and purported creditors and other parties in interest, in substantially the same form as attached hereto as Exhibit “A”;

 


 

     WHEREAS, the Debtor and the Creditors Committee have also determined, as permitted under Rule 9008 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the “Bankruptcy Rules”, and each a “Bankruptcy Rule”), to provide as wide a distribution of notice of the bar dates in this case as is reasonable and practicable under the circumstances, and to comply with the requirements of the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution, with regard to unknown claimants and, in connection therewith, publish one time in the Wall Street Journal a notice of the bar dates in substantially the same form attached hereto as Exhibit “B”; and
     WHEREAS, the Debtor and the Creditors Committee agree that the Prior Bar Date and the Prior Notice Date should be vacated and that the establishment of the deadlines and procedures for filing proofs of claim (set forth below) is necessary for an accurate determination of claims and will facilitate the expeditious resolution of this chapter 11 case and, in connection therewith, that the notice procedures contemplated below will provide adequate notice to creditors and parties in interest of the deadlines and procedures for filing proofs of claim in this case, and of the consequences for failure to comply therewith;
     NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED THAT:
     1. The Prior Bar Date and the Prior Notice Date shall be, and are hereby, vacated.
     2. An original of any proof of claim must be filed with the Clerk of Court, by mail, in person, electronically, or by personal service by 4:00 p.m. (California time) on the applicable

2


 

Claims Bar Date (as defined in Paragraph 10 of this Order). Proofs of claim may not be filed by facsimile or electronic mail. Proofs of claim that previously were filed with the Clerk of the Court need not be re-filed.
     3. Except as otherwise set forth below in Paragraphs 4 through 12 herein, the date that is sixty (60) days from the date the Notice (as defined in Paragraph 13 of this Order) is served shall be, and is hereby, fixed as the last date for filing proofs of claim (the “General Bar Date”). The failure of any creditor or other party in interest to timely file such a proof of claim will result in the disallowance of that claim.
     4. The 30th day following the General Bar Date shall be, and is hereby, fixed as the last date on which a proof of claim may be timely filed pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 501 (b) and Bankruptcy Rule 3005 by any entity that is authorized to file such a claim (the “Co-Debtor Bar Date”).
     5. December 15, 2008 shall be, and is hereby, fixed as last date on which a governmental unit may timely file a proof of claim in this case asserting a claim against the Debtor or its estate (the “Governmental Bar Date”).
     6. For claims arising from the avoidance of a transfer under chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code, the date by which the entity asserting the claim may timely file a proof of that claim shall be, and is hereby, fixed as the later of the following two dates (the “Avoidance Claims Bar Date”) : (a) the General Bar Date; or (b) the first business day that is 30 calendar days after entry of the order authorizing avoidance of the transfer.

3


 

     7. For claims arising under Bankruptcy Code section 502 (i) with respect to the assessment of certain taxes, the date by which the entity asserting the claim may timely file a proof of claim shall be, and is hereby, fixed as the later of the following two dates (the “502 (i) Bar Date”): (a) the General Bar Date; or (b) the first business day that is 30 calendar days after such tax claim arises under Bankruptcy Code section 502(i).
     8. For claims under Bankruptcy Code section 502(g) arising from the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease, the date by which the entity asserting the claim may timely file a proof of that claim shall be, and is hereby, fixed as the later of the following two dates (the “Rejection Bar Date”) : (a) the General Bar Date; or (b) the first business day that is 30 calendar days after the entry of the order approving the rejection of the executory contract or unexpired lease.
     9. In determining the deadlines and bar dates to be set forth in the bar date notice, all dates described herein shall be calculated in the manner provided in Bankruptcy Rule 9006(a).
     10. After the General Bar Date — and after the Governmental Bar Date, the Co-Debtor Bar Date,        ,      the Avoidance Claims Bar Date, the 502 (i) Bar Date and the Rejection Bar Date, in each case, as applicable (the “Claims Bar Dates”, and each a “Claims Bar Date”) — except as set forth in this Paragraph, a creditor may not amend a claim deemed filed on its behalf under Bankruptcy Code section 1111(a) by virtue of that claim having been listed by the Debtor on its Schedules. The Debtor, however, may amend its Schedules as a matter of course at any time before this case is closed. If the Debtor amends its Schedules, in accordance

4


 

with Bankruptcy Rule 1009(a), the Debtor shall give notice of the amendment to any affected entity. If the amendment to the Schedules reduces the liquidated amount of a scheduled claim or reclassifies a claim that was scheduled as undisputed, liquidated, and non-contingent claim as disputed, unliquidated, and/or contingent, then — solely with respect to the claim that was subject to the amendment to the Schedules and only to the extent its proof of claim does not exceed the amount in which its claim was scheduled before the amendment — the affected claimant may timely file a proof of claim on or before the later of the following two dates: (a) the General Bar Date; or (b) the first business day that is 30 calendar days after the mailing of the notice of the amendment to the Schedules. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no extension of time shall be permitted if an amendment to the Schedules increases the scheduled amount of an undisputed, liquidated, and non-contingent claim.
     11. Absent the Debtor’s consent, after the applicable Claims Bar Date, amendments to timely filed claims shall be allowed only to the extent the amended claim is based on the same facts and circumstances as a timely filed claim, and then only if the amended claim was not reasonably ascertainable before the applicable Claims Bar Date.
     12. Nothing herein is intended to preclude a creditor from seeking leave of this Court to amend its claim for cause shown; provided, however, that such amendment does not change the amount or priority of the claim.
     13. The Debtor shall be, and is hereby, authorized and directed to distribute to all known creditors and purported

5


 

creditors and other parties in interest holding claims and potential claims in this case notice of the Claims Bar Dates in substantially the same form as attached hereto as Exhibit “A” (the “Notice”). The Debtor shall be, and is hereby, authorized to include with the Notice a form of proof of claim in substantially the same form as the Form 10 of the Official Forms included in the Bankruptcy Rules (the “Proof of Claim Form”), pre-printed with the name and address of the creditor, purported creditor or other party in interest upon whom the Notice is being served. The form of Notice and the Proof of Claim Form shall be, and are hereby, APPROVED.
     14. Any creditor whose claim has been scheduled by the Debtor, and who agrees with the amount and classification of its claim as scheduled, need not file a proof of claim in this case inasmuch as a claim will be deemed filed on its behalf under Bankruptcy Code section 1111(a) as that claim has been listed by the Debtor on its Schedules.
     15. Only the Indenture Trustee for the 7.875% Senior Notes due 2009 (the “Senior Notes”) and the Indenture Trustee for the 9% Junior Subordinated Debentures due March 31, 2026 (the “Junior Debentures”, and together with the Senior Notes, the “Notes”) need to assert claims for principal and interest on account of the Notes, and individual noteholders only need to file a proof of claim for claims for something other than principal and interest on account of the Notes.
     16. It is not necessary for a holder of common stock in the Debtor to file a proof of interest; provided, however, that such equity security holder must file a proof of claim to the

6


 

extent that such equity security holder asserts any rights as a creditor of the Debtor.
          17. If a creditor does not timely file with the Court a proof of claim in compliance with any procedures established pursuant to the terms of this Order and in accordance with the applicable Claims Bar Date, and if that creditor’s claim is not scheduled, is scheduled in the amount of $0, or is scheduled as disputed, unknown, contingent, or unliquidated in the Debtor’s Schedules, then:
  a.   That creditor will be forever barred from:
  (1)   Participating in any manner in this chapter 11 case;
 
  (2)   Voting with respect to any chapter 11 plan filed in this case; and
 
  (3)   Receiving any distribution under any chapter 11 plan confirmed in this case.
  b.   That creditor will nevertheless be bound by the terms of any chapter 11 plan confirmed by the Court in this case; and
 
  c.   That creditor will not be entitled to receive any further mailings or notices in this chapter 11 case.
          18. The Debtor shall be, and is hereby, authorized to arrange for mailing of the Notice (and the accompanying Form of Proof of Claim) by first-class mail, at the expense of its estate, to all known creditors and purported creditors and parties in interest holding potential claims in this case (including, without limitation, those included on (i) the Debtor’s Schedules, and including creditors scheduled as holding claims in any amount, whether disputed, undisputed, liquidated, unliquidated, contingent, or noncontingent, as well as those entities listed only for informational purposes; and (ii) the Debtor’s creditor matrix filed

7


 

with the Court), all known shareholders of record (based upon the lists of equity security holders filed in this case), all parties who have requested and are entitled to special notice, and any other parties in interest as required by Bankruptcy Rules 2002(a) (7) , (i) , (j) and (k).
          19. The Debtor shall be, and is hereby, authorized and directed to publish a notice in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit “B” (the “Publication Notice”) one time in the Wall Street Journal. The Debtor may alter the form (but not the content) of the Publication Notice for purposes of publication. After publication of this Publication Notice, the Debtor shall file with the Court a declaration evidencing the publication of the Publication Notice and attaching a true and correct copy of the said notice as it appeared in the Wall Street Journal. The form of Publication Notice shall be, and is hereby, APPROVED.
          20. If a claimant transfers a timely filed claim, the transferee must both (i) file a notice of transfer of the claim (“Notice of Transfer”) with the Clerk of the Court, and (ii) serve a copy of the Notice of Transfer on (a) the Debtor’s bankruptcy counsel at the following address: Stutman, Treister & Glatt, P.C., Attn: Theodore B. Stolman, Esq. and Scott H. Yun, Esq., 1901 Avenue of the Stars, 12th Floor, Los Angeles, CA 90067 and Patton Boggs LLP, Attn: Robert W. Jones, Esq. and J. Maxwell Tucker, Esq., 2001 Ross Avenue, Suite 3000, Dallas, TX 75201-8001; and (b) counsel for the Official Committee of Creditors Holding Unsecured Claims: Klee, Tuchin, Bogdanoff & Stern LLP, Attn: Lee R. Bogdanoff, Esq. and Jonathan S. Shenson, Esq., 1999 Avenue of the Stars, 39th Floor, Los Angeles, CA 90067. The Notice of Transfer must: (a) be signed

8


 

by both the transferee and the transferor; (b) set forth the current address for both the transferee and the transferor; and (c) be accompanied by a copy of the proof of claim being transferred, as well as documentation evidencing the existence of an agreement to transfer the claim.
          21. The Notice shall be served no later than seven (7) days after the date this Order is entered.

  Chapter 11
NOTICE OF BAR DATES FOR FILING PROOFS OF CLAIM
Date Case Filed: June 18, 2008 (the “Petition Date”)
BAR DATES, CLAIMS AND SCHEDULES
     On August ___, 2008, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California, Santa Ana Division (the “Court”) entered a Stipulated Order (the “Bar Date Order”) in the chapter 11 case (the “Case”) of the above-captioned debtor and debtor in possession (the “Debtor”) in accordance with Rule 3003(c) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the “Bankruptcy Rules”) fixing the following deadlines (collectively, the “Claims Bar Dates”, and each, a “Claims Bar Date”):
  a.   [60 days from the date notice is mailed], at 4:00 p.m. (California time) as the last day for the filing, with the Clerk of the Court, of proofs of claim in the Case for all claims against the Debtor arising on or prior to the commencement of the Case on the Petition Date (the “General Bar Date”), other than those claims specified in paragraphs b through f below.
 
  b.   [30 days after the General Bar Date in a. above], at 4:00 p.m. (California time) as the last day on which a proof of claim may be timely filed by any entity—such as a guarantor, surety, indorser, or other co-debtor—that is authorized to file a claim under Bankruptcy Code section 501(b) and Bankruptcy Rule 3005.
 
  c.   December 15, 2008, at 4:00 p.m. (California time) as the last day for all governmental units, as defined in section 101(27) of the Bankruptcy Code, to file, with the Clerk of the Court, proofs of claim in the Case for claims against the Debtor arising on or prior to the commencement of the Case on the Petition Date.
 
  d.   The last day to file a proof of claim for a claim against the Debtor arising from the avoidance of a transfer under chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code, is 4:00 pm (California time) on the later of (i) the General Bar Date, i.e., [INSERT DATE] or (ii) the first business day that is 30 calendar days after entry of the order authorizing avoidance of the transfer.
 
  e.   The last day to file a proof of claim for a claim against the Debtor arising under section 502(i) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the assessment of certain taxes, is 4:00 pm (California time) on the later of (i) the General Bar Date, i.e.. [INSERT DATE] or (ii) the first business day that is 30 calendar days after such tax claim arises under Bankruptcy Code section 502(i).
 
  f.   The last day to file a proof of claim for a claim against the Debtor arising from the rejection by the Debtor of an executory contract or unexpired lease, is 4:00 pm (California time) on the later of (i) the General Bar Date, i.e., [INSERT DATE] or (ii) the first business day that is 30 calendar days after the date of service of any order authorizing the Debtor to reject such contract or lease, unless the order authorizing

11


 

      the rejection of such executory contract or unexpired lease or another order of the Court provides for an earlier date in which case such earlier date shall govern in all respects.
     The term “claim” as used in this Notice has the broad meaning ascribed to it in section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, which includes any right to payment against the Debtor’s estate, irrespective of whether it is based on the Debtor’s primary, secondary, direct, indirect, fixed, secured, unsecured, contingent, guaranteed, disputed, undisputed, liquidated, unliquidated, matured, unmatured, legal or equitable liability, or otherwise.
     The Debtor’s Schedules of Assets and Liabilities (collectively, the “Schedules”) may be inspected at the Office of the Clerk, United States Bankruptcy Court, 411 West Fourth Street, Santa Ana, CA 92701 or online at either http://www.kccllc.net/fremontgeneral or through the Court’s PACER service at https://ecf.cacb.uscourts.gov/. If your claim is listed in the Schedules and is not listed as disputed, contingent, unliquidated or unknown, your claim is deemed filed in the amount set forth in the Schedules, and the filing of a proof of claim is unnecessary if you agree that the amount scheduled is correct and that the category in which your claim is scheduled (secured, unsecured, priority, etc.) is correct. If a liability based upon the same facts and circumstances is listed on the Schedules more than once (i.e., there are duplicate listings), you will be allowed only one recovery on your claim. Whether or not your claim is scheduled, you are permitted to file a proof of claim.
     Except as set forth below, each creditor and recipient of this Notice and their respective agents and attorneys have an affirmative duty to review this Notice and timely file any proof of claim on or before the applicable Claims Bar Date or be forever barred from Filing or asserting any such claim. Each creditor and recipient of this Notice is personally responsible for reviewing this Notice and timely filing any proof of claim and should not rely upon their respective agents and attorneys to meet the deadlines specified in this Notice.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILING PROOFS OF CLAIM
AND CONSEQUENCES FOR FAILURE TO TIMELY FILE A CLAIM
     If you wish to assert a claim against the Debtor, you must file a proof of claim:
  (a)   if your claim has not been listed by the Debtor in its Schedules;
 
  (b)   if you disagree with the amount of the claim scheduled by the Debtor in its Schedules;
 
  (c)   if the Debtor has scheduled your claim as disputed, contingent, unliquidated, or in an unknown amount;
 
  (d)   if you believe your claim to be a secured claim, and the Debtor has not so scheduled your claim; or
 
  (e)   if you believe your claim to be entitled to priority under the Bankruptcy Code, and the Debtor has not so scheduled your claim.
     If you wish to file a proof of claim in this case, please use the proof of claim form included with this Notice rather than any other proof of claim form that you may have received previously. However, if you have already properly filed a proof of claim with the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court prior to the receipt of this Notice, you do not need to resubmit your proof of claim.
     Except as otherwise provided for or specifically excepted herein, all proofs of claim must be filed so that they are actually received by the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court by 4:00 p.m. (California time) on or before the applicable Claims Bar Date. Proofs of claim may be filed by mail, in person, by courier, or by using the Court’s CM/ECF electronic filing service. (For more information on electronic filing, go to http://www.cacb.uscourts.gov.)
     To submit a proof of claim in person, by mail, or by courier, such proof of claim should be submitted to the following address:
United States Bankruptcy Court
Attn: Clerk of the Court
411 West Fourth Street
Santa Ana, CA 92701

12


 

     Proofs of claim submitted via fax or e-mail will not be accepted. Do not send proofs of claim to the Debtor or the Office of the United States Trustee.
     The following claims are not required to be filed on or before any of the Claims Bar Dates:
  a.   claims properly filed with the Clerk of the Court prior to the mailing of this Notice;
 
  b.   claims listed in the Debtor’s Schedules, if the claimant does not dispute either the amount or manner (e.g., priority status) in which its claim is listed in the Schedules and such claim is not designated therein as “contingent,” “unliquidated,” “subject to adjustment,” “disputed,” or “unknown” (or assigned a zero amount); and
 
  c.   claims arising on or after the Petition Date.
Should the Court, in the future, fix a date by which these excepted claims must be filed, you will be notified.
     If you fail to timely file a proof of claim in accordance with the applicable Claims Bar Date, and your claim is not scheduled, is scheduled for $0, or is scheduled as disputed, unknown, contingent or liquidated in the Schedules:
  a.   You will be forever barred from:
  (1)   participating in the Debtor’s chapter 11 case;
 
  (2)   voting with respect to any chapter 11 plan filed in this case; and
 
  (3)   receiving any distribution under any chapter 11 plan that may be confirmed in this case.
  b.   You nevertheless will be bound by the terms of any chapter 11 plan that may be confirmed in this case; and
 
  c.   You will receive no further notices or mailings in this case.
     The Schedules and/or the Bar Date Order may be examined and inspected by interested parties during regular business hours at the office of the Clerk of the Court at the above-listed address, and are available online at either http://www.kccllc.net/fremontgeneral or through the Court’s PACER service at https://ecf.cacb.uscourts.gov/. Creditors that wish to rely on the Schedules shall have the responsibility for determining that their claims are accurately listed therein.
     After the applicable Claims Bar Date, except as set forth in the next paragraph of this Notice, a creditor may not amend a claim deemed filed on its behalf under Bankruptcy Code section 1111(a) by virtue of that claim having been listed by the Debtor on its Schedules, or as listed in any supplements or amendments thereto.
     The Debtor may amend its Schedules as a matter of course at any time before this case is closed, and if the Debtor amends its Schedules, in accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 1009(a), the Debtor will give notice of the amendment to any affected entity. If the amendment to the Schedules reduces the liquidated amount of a scheduled claim or reclassifies a claim that was scheduled as undisputed, liquidated, and non-contingent as disputed, unliquidated, and/or contingent, then - solely with respect to the claim that was subject to the amendment to the Schedules and only to the extent its proof of claim does not exceed the amount in which its claim was scheduled before the amendment - the affected claimant may timely file a proof of claim on or before the later of the following two dates: (a) the General Bar Date; or (b) the first business day that is 30 calendar days after the mailing of the notice of the amendment to the Schedules. No extension of time is permitted if an amendment to the Schedules increases the scheduled amount of an undisputed, liquidated, and non-contingent claim.
     If a timely filed proof of claim is transferred, then in accordance with Bankruptcy Rule 3001(e), the transferee must both (i) file a notice of transfer of the claim or interest (a “Notice of Transfer”) with the Clerk of the Court, and (ii) serve a copy of the notice of transfer on (a) the Debtor’s proposed bankruptcy counsel at the following address:
