A final hearing to approve the agreement is scheduled for August 20, 2003. The Bankruptcy Court also approved the payment of certain pre-petition obligations, including employee salaries and wages and obligations to customers.
A copy of the press release issued by the Company on July 30, 2003, announcing its filing with the Bankruptcy Court is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
