B. Exhibits.

All Exhibits to this Plan are incorporated into and are a part of this Plan and Disclosure Statement as if set forth in full herein.

III.            GLOBAL’S BACKGROUND AND OPERATING HISTORY

The Debtor was incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 8, 2002. On August 1, 2003, the Debtor completed a reverse acquisition of Tech-Net Communications, Inc., a Nevada corporation that was incorporated on May 15, 2000. Following the reverse acquisition, the Debtor changed the name of Tech-Net Communications, Inc. to “Knightsbridge Fine Wines, Inc.” Effective February 15, 2005, the Debtor changed its name from Knightsbridge Fine Wines, Inc. to “360 Global Wine Company.” Global is a public company whose stock trades under the symbol “TSIXQ”.

Global’s Operating History prior to the Petition Date is described in the Omnibus Statement of Facts in Support of First Day Motions filed on March 9, 2007, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit “1.” As discussed in more detail therein, Global and its operating subsidiary, Viansa, experienced a significant financial crisis derived, in part, from their dispute with Kirkland Knightsbridge, LLC (“KKLLC”), with whom Global entered into a joint venture in 2004. KKLLC filed for bankruptcy protection in September of 2006, at which time KKLLC was in possession of substantial inventory of Viansa. Without access to this inventory, Viansa was unable to ship the wines to its wine club members. As a result, its revenues declined precipitously and Viansa was unable to service its debt with Laurus. Shortly prior to the Petition Date, Laurus sent a notice of default to Viansa and Global and called its loan due. Viansa and Global commenced their bankruptcy cases in order to protect the value of their assets.

IV. GLOBAL’S BANKRUPTCY CASE

On March 7, 2007 (the “Petition Date”), Global and Viansa each filed a voluntary petition for relief with the Bankruptcy Court under the Bankruptcy Code. On March 23, 2007, this Court issued an Order granting joint administration of the two cases.

Shortly after the Petition Date, KKLLC filed its motion to transfer venue of the cases to Northern District of California, Santa Rosa Division. The Debtors, as well as numerous creditors, opposed the motion, which was eventually denied by this Court.

The Committee was appointed in both of the cases on April 23, 2007.

On June 27, 2007 the Bankruptcy Court entered the Laurus Cash Collateral Order and the DIP Order, and on July 27, 2007 the Bankruptcy Court entered the Gryphon Cash Collateral Order. Pursuant to these orders, the Debtors continued to operate pursuant to terms approved by Croesus, Laurus, Gryphon, and the Bankruptcy Court until confirmation of Viansa’s Plan of Reorganization.

The Debtors sought and obtained Bankruptcy Court approval of a settlement with KKLLC, which was approved by order entered on August 16, 2007. Pursuant to the settlement, all litigation (including appeals) between the Debtors and KKLLC has been dismissed. In addition, Viansa obtained a turnover of its wine inventory (and related items) which was maintained in KKLLC’s possession to the exclusion of Viansa. KKLLC was allowed General Unsecured Claims in this Case totaling $10 million as part of the settlement.

The Debtors engaged Gordian Financial Services to assist with marketing Viansa’s business; and Global employed Capital City Sotheby’s International Realty to assist with the marketing of the Texas Property.

The Committee engaged BBK, Ltd. as its financial advisor in connection with the two bankruptcy cases.

The Debtor retained The Hall Group as its auditor by Order entered June 6, 2007 and retained Sichenzia Ross Friedman Ference LLP as its special SEC counsel by Order entered October 15, 2007.

By Bankruptcy Court Order entered on March 25, 2008, the Debtor sold the Texas Property to the City of Granite Shoals and the Christ Redeemer Fellowship for the aggregate sale price of $3,200,000.

On March 27, 2008, the Bankruptcy Court entered its Order Granting the Motion of the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors for Authority to Pursue Claims on Behalf of the Debtor’s Estate, whereby the Committee was authorized to pursue claims and causes of action of the Debtor against its officers, directors and shareholders.

By Bankruptcy Court order entered on July 30, 2008, the Bankruptcy Court approved a settlement with certain Creditors whereby their Claims against the Debtor, including any possible Administrative Claims, were resolved by the allowance of a total of $375,000 in General Unsecured Claims in favor of those Creditors.

3.               V. SUMMARY OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Global’s primary asset consisted of the Texas Property, which was sold pursuant to Bankruptcy Court Order on March 25, 2008 for $3,200,000.00. The proceeds of sale were primarily used to pay costs of sale, Secured Claims including the Gryphon Secured Claim, as well as to fund the Carve Out. A detailed description of Global’s assets as of the Petition Date is set forth in Global’s Amended Schedules filed on May 11, 2007.

Claims asserted against Global are listed in Exhibit “2” attached hereto, which exhibit lists all Claims scheduled by Global in its bankruptcy schedules and all Claims filed with the Bankruptcy Court. Pursuant to Rule 3003(c)(2) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, those Creditors whose Claims were scheduled as disputed, contingent or unliquidated and who did not timely file a proof of Claim shall not be treated as Creditors for purposes of voting or distribution under this Plan. All such Creditors are listed on Exhibit “2” as having a Claim in a zero amount. All of Global’s Secured Claims of Croesus, Laurus and Gryphon have been satisfied by the sale of the Texas Property or by the confirmation of Viansa’s plan of reorganization. As a result of the sale of the Texas Property for less than the liens against it, Gryphon claims an unsecured deficiency Claim of approximately $5.9 million. General Unsecured Claims aggregate approximately $20 million. There are filed priority Tax Claims (which the Debtor disputes) totaling approximately $210,000. The total pre-petition Claims asserted are approximately as follows:

Secured claims $               0.00
Unsecured claims $20,000,000.00
Priority claims $     210,000.00
TOTAL $20,210.000.00
   

 

In addition, Global has incurred amounts due to professionals hired in the Case as set forth in Section VII.B.1. herein.

VI. SUMMARY OF PLAN AND TREATMENT OF CLAIMS

This is a reorganization Plan. The Reorganized Debtor will continue with its operations after Confirmation as a publicly-held company engaged in the business of strategic business acquisitions. The Carve-Out will be used to pay the CEO/CRO Administrative Claim and Allowed Professional Fees on a pro rata basis, with the balance of these Claims to be paid from the recovery of the Assigned Litigation, which will be pursuant by the Global Trust. In addition, these Claimants will share in a pro rata distribution of 3,750,000 shares of the New Common Stock. Priority Tax Claims (if any) will either be paid in Cash on Confirmation or will receive deferred cash payments over a five (5) year period from the Petition Date. Class 4 General Unsecured Creditors will receive for pro rata distribution 1,000,000 shares of New Common Stock and the Class 5 General Unsecured Creditor will receive 50,000 shares of New Common Stock. Class 6 equity security holders will receive 100,000 shares of New Common Stock for pro rata distribution.

 

VII. CLASSIFICATION AND TREATMENT OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS

 

A.             General Overview.

As required by the Bankruptcy Code, this Plan classifies Claims and interests in various Classes according to their right to priority. This Plan states whether each Class is either impaired or unimpaired, and proposes the treatment that each Class will receive.

B.             Unclassified Claims.

Certain types of Claims are not placed into voting Classes; instead they remain unclassified. These Claims are not considered impaired and are therefore not entitled to vote on this Plan because they are automatically entitled to specific treatment provided for them in the Bankruptcy Code. As such, Global has not placed the following Claims in a Class:

1.                 Administrative Claims.

Administrative Claims are claims for costs or expenses of administering the Case that are allowed under Bankruptcy Code § 507(a)(2). The Bankruptcy Code requires that all Administrative Claims be paid on the Effective Date unless a particular holder of an Administrative Claim agrees to a different treatment. Unpaid Administrative Claims include the CEO/CRO Administrative Claim, estimated to be approximately $550,000 at Confirmation.

U.S. Trustee fees, to the extent not previously paid, will be paid in full on the Effective Date, or at such later date as such fees may become due and payable. Global estimates that the total Allowed Professional Fees will be in the range of $850,000 to $910,000.

20
 

All Allowed Professional Fees and the CEO/CRO Administrative Claim will receive an initial distribution on a pro rata basis from the Carve-Out on the later of the (a) Effective Date; and (b) date of entry of the order allowing the professional fees and costs.

Professionals employed by Order of the Court and the estimated amounts of their fees as of Confirmation1 are as follows:

21
 

 

In addition to a pro rata distribution of the Carve-Out, a pro rata distribution of 3,750,000 shares of New Common Stock will be made to professionals and the CEO/CRO based upon the total amount of the CEO/CRO Administrative Claim and the Allowed Professional Fees. The unpaid balance of such fees after distribution of the Carve-Out shall be paid on a pro rata basis from the proceeds of the Assigned Litigation.

Requirement of Court Approval of Fees: The Court must rule on all fees of professionals listed above before such fees will become Allowed Administrative Claims. For all fees except Clerk’s Office fees and U.S. Trustee fees, the professional in question must file and serve a properly noticed fee application, and the Court must rule on the application. Only Allowed Professional Fees will be eligible to be paid under this Plan.

2.     Priority Tax Claims.

The Bankruptcy Code requires that each holder of a Priority Tax Claim receive the present value of such Claim in deferred Cash payments. Except as otherwise allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, holders of Priority Tax Claims shall not be entitled to receive any penalties with respect to or arising in connection with such Claims and such penalties shall be treated as General Unsecured Claims.

Global believes that the Priority Tax Claims will not exceed the sum of $5,000.00. Priority Tax Claims filed by the IRS and the California Franchise Tax Board were filed as estimated Claims since the Debtor had not filed its Federal or State tax returns by the Petition Date. The Debtor has filed its Federal and State income tax returns, which show no income taxes owing to either the IRS or the Franchise Tax Board.

At the option of Reorganized Global, Allowed Priority Tax Claims shall be paid either (1) in cash on the Effective Date; or (2) deferred cash payments, in equal quarterly installments, over the period ending five (5) years from the Petition Date, with interest to accrue at the federal interest rate as set forth in 26 U.S.C. § 6621(a)(2), which is 5% per annum as of September 30, 2008 (or such other interest rate as agreed to by Global and the holder of such Allowed Priority Tax Claim, or such rate as determined by the Bankruptcy Court to be appropriate, if such a determination is requested by the holder of such Allowed Priority Tax Claim no later than the date upon which objections to Confirmation of this Plan are due). At the option of Reorganized Global, such deferred payments may be prepaid, in whole or in part.

22
 

C.               Classified Claims and Interests.

1.       Class 1 consists of the Allowed Claims of holders of statutory liens, other than Priority Tax Claims, but including Secured Claims for real or personal property taxes. Global believes that there are no such Claims since all of its tangible assets have been liquidated.

2.       Class 2 consists of the Laurus Secured Claim. Upon the closing of the Texas Real Property sale, Laurus’ Secured Claim was paid in full from the proceeds of the sale in accordance with the Settlement Agreement. Class 2 is therefore not impaired under this Plan.

3.       Class 3 consists of the Gryphon Secured Claim. Upon the closing of the Texas Real Property sale, the Gryphon Secured Claim was paid in full from the proceeds of sale in accordance with the Settlement Agreement. Class 3 is therefore not impaired under this Plan.

4. Class 4 consists of all General Unsecured Claims, except for the Class 5 Claim of KKLLC. Global estimates that such General Unsecured Claims total approximately $15 million. Class 4 shall receive for pro rata distribution 1,000,000 shares of New Common Stock. In addition, Class 4 shall receive for pro rata distribution any net recovery obtained from the Assigned Litigation after payment of unpaid Administrative Claims and unpaid Priority Tax Claims. Class 4 is impaired under this Plan.

5. Class 5 consists of the KKLLC Subordinated Claim in the sum of $5 million. Class 5 shall receive 50,000 shares of New Common Stock in full satisfaction of the Class 5 Claim. Class 5 is impaired under this Plan.

6. Class 6 consists of Equity Security Interests in Global. The existing common stock of Global shall be canceled and Class 6 shall receive for pro rata distribution 100,000 shares of New Common Stock. The record date for stock ownership for such distribution shall be December 1, 2008. Class 6 is impaired under this Plan.

 

23
 

VIII. MEANS OF IMPLEMENTATION OF PLAN

 

A.              Funding for the Plan.

The Plan will be funded from the Carve-Out, the pursuit of the Assigned Litigation and the issuance to Creditors and Equity Security interest holders of New Common Stock.

 

B.              Composition of Reorganized Global and Post-Confirmation Management.

Reorganized Global will continue to be a publicly-held Nevada corporation in good standing with the Secretary of State. A. John A. Bryan, Jr. shall continue as Chief Executive Officer of Reorganized Global after the Effective Date. Mr. Bryan shall receive a salary of $150,000 per annum, which salary may accrue, but not be converted to securities of the Reorganized Debtor. Any accrued salary shall only be paid to Mr. Bryan upon a liquidity event for the Reorganized Debtor. The board of directors of the Reorganized Debtor shall consist of Anthony Bryan and Michael Jeub. In addition, the Global Trust will be created for the benefit of Administrative, Priority Tax Claimants, and the General Unsecured Creditors in Class 4 and will be funded initially by the delivery to the Global Trust of 100,000 shares of New Common Stock.

 

1. Creation of the Trust.

On the Effective Date, Global shall create the Global Trust for the benefit of holders of Administrative Claims, Priority Tax Claims and Class 4 Allowed Claims pursuant to the Plan, and the Liquidating Trust Agreement shall be executed by the parties to the Liquidating Trust Agreement. The Global Trust will be funded initially by the delivery to the Global Trust of 100,000 shares of New Common Stock. The Global Trust shall be a creditors’ liquidating trust for all purposes, including Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-4(d). The Global Trust will be organized for the purpose of collecting and distributing to Creditors the Assigned Litigation of Global and its Estate with no objective to continue or engage in the conduct of a trade or business. As more fully set forth below, and except as set forth below, on the Effective Date, Global and/or the Committee shall be deemed to have transferred all of Global’s rights to prosecute the Assigned Litigation to the Global Trust to collect and prosecute for the benefit of Creditors of Global. The Global Trust shall receive, liquidate and distribute the New Common Stock received by it and the recoveries on the claims, rights and causes of action of Global and its Estate in accordance with the Plan and the Liquidating Trust Agreement as promptly as is reasonably practicable, in an expeditious but orderly manner. The Global Trust is not a successor of Global for purposes of incurring its liabilities. To the extent there are any inconsistencies between the Plan and the Global Trust, the terms of the Plan shall prevail.

 

24
 

2. Appointment of the Liquidating Trustee.

The Liquidating Trustee (the “Global Trustee”) of the Trust shall be Laurens Nuyens. Mr. Nuyens has a Masters in General Management (M.B.A. program) from Vlerick Leuven Ghent Management School in Ghent, Belgium and a Bachelors Degree in Economics and Business from Kalamazoo College. He has worked for Makro Belgium, a multinational Corporation, and, as an independent contractor for The Watley Group, was a consultant to the CEO of Viansa. Mr. Bryan is the managing member of The Watley Group and is Mr. Nuyen’s brother-in-law. The Global Trustee shall administer the Liquidating Trust pursuant to the Plan and the Liquidating Trust Agreement, and in accordance with guidelines set forth by the Ninth Circuit Bankruptcy Appellate Panel in In Re Consolidated Pioneer Mortgage Entities, 248 B.R. 368 (9th Cir. B.A.P. 2000). The Global Trustee shall act in accordance with the Plan and the Liquidating Trust Agreement. The Global Trustee shall perform all of the obligations of the Global Trustee under the Plan and the Liquidating Trust Agreement. The Global Trustee shall serve for the duration of the Global Trust, subject to earlier death, resignation, incapacity or removal as provided in the Liquidating Trust Agreement. The Global Trustee shall serve without any bond. The Global Trustee shall receive as compensation three percent (3%) of the funds recovered by the Global Trust. The Global Trustee shall act in accordance with the Plan and the Liquidating Trust Agreement.

 

3. Transfer of Claims, Rights and Causes of Action to the Global Trust.

On the Effective Date, all Assigned Litigation and the right to assert objections to claims, including rights of offset, as set forth in this Plan, shall be transferred to, and vested in, the Global Trust free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances and other interests. All property, claims, rights, and causes of action received or held by the Global Trust shall be held in trust for the benefit of holders of Administrative Claims, Priority Tax Claims and Class 4 Allowed Claims, subject to the provisions of the Plan and the Liquidating Trust Agreement. Reorganized Global shall retain no interest in such property, claims, rights, and causes of action transferred to the Global Trust. In addition, 5 million shares of New Common Stock will be irrevocably transferred and conveyed by Reorganized Global to the Global Trust for distribution pursuant to the terms of this Plan. As soon as practical after receipt of the New Common Stock, the Global Trust shall use its best efforts to distribute the New Common Stock to Class 4 and Class 5 Claimants and Class 6 Equity Security Interests.

 

4. Sale or Other Disposition of Property.

After the Effective Date, the Global Trust may use, acquire, sell or otherwise dispose of the property it acquires in accordance with the Plan and the Liquidating Trust Agreement without supervision of, or approval by, the Bankruptcy Court or the United States Trustee and free of any restrictions in the Bankruptcy Code, the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure or Local Bankruptcy Rules (the “Bankruptcy Rules”), provided, however, that the Global Trust shall not have the right to liquidate New Common Stock designated for holders of Allowed Claims in the Case.

 

25
 

5. Investigation and Prosecution of Claims.

The Global Trust shall investigate all Assigned Litigation and determine which, if any, should be prosecuted in its sole discretion in accordance with the Plan and the Liquidating Trust Agreement. All claims, rights and causes of action encompassed in the Assigned Litigation are preserved by the Plan, and the Global Trust shall have full power and authority to settle, adjust, retain, enforce or abandon any claim, right or cause of action as the representative of the Global Estate under section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise in accordance with the Plan and the Liquidating Trust Agreement without supervision of, or approval by, the Bankruptcy Court or the United States Trustee and free of any restriction of the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Rules, except that the compromise of any single claim, right or cause of action that is $100,000 or more shall, until the Case is closed, be subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court after notice and opportunity for hearing have been provided to the entities that have requested special notice.

 

6. Bankruptcy Powers.

As to the Assigned Litigation, the Global Trust shall have all of the rights, claims, powers, objections, counterclaims, defenses, setoffs and actions of Global and its Estate under sections 363, 365 and 501 to 558, inclusive, of the Bankruptcy Code. (All other such rights shall be retained by Reorganized Global.) After the Effective Date, all claims, rights and causes of action of Global and its Estate shall be filed and prosecuted in the name of the Global Trust.

 

7. Employment of Employees and Professionals.

On and after the Effective Date, the Global Trust shall employ and compensate such employees and professionals, including, without limitation, any professionals employed by the Estate, agents and representatives, including disbursing agents, as the Global Trust determines is necessary or appropriate to implement all of the provisions of the Plan and the Liquidating Trust Agreement without any supervision of, or approval by, the Bankruptcy Court or the United States Trustee. The Global Trust shall be allowed to compensate the fees and costs of its professionals without the requirement to file fee applications and seek approval of the Bankruptcy Court. The Bankruptcy Court will retain jurisdiction to resolve any fee disputes between the Global Trust and its professionals.

 

26
 

8. Creation of Reserves, Investment of Cash, and Distribution of Cash.

After the Effective Date, the Global Trust shall: (i) pay or provide for all expenses of the Global Trust from property in the Global Trust, (ii) establish and maintain a reserve for expenses of the Trust, (iii) establish and maintain a reserve for disputed Claims, (iv) establish and maintain a reserve for unclaimed distributions, (v) establish any other reserves or accounts it deems necessary or appropriate, and (vi) make distributions of Cash to the holders of Allowed Claims from the Global Trust in accordance with the Plan and the Liquidating Trust Agreement. The procedures that govern the reserves and distributions by the Global Trust are set forth in the Liquidating Trust Agreement. All cash held by the Global Trust shall be invested only in investments permitted under the Liquidating Trust Agreement.

 

9. Non-transferability of Trust Interests.

The interests of the holders of Allowed Administrative Claims, Allowed Priority Tax Claims and Allowed Claims in the Global Trust will not be evidenced by any certificate or other instrument or document. The interests in the Global Trust are non-transferable and non-assignable other than to successors in interest, or by will, the laws of descent and distribution, or by operation of law.

 

10. No Action Against Global or the Global Trust Without Bankruptcy Court Approval.

On and after the Effective Date, no action or proceeding may be commenced or continued by any entity holding a pre-Confirmation Claim, other than the Global Trust, in any court or other tribunal, other than the Bankruptcy Court, against Global, Reorganized Global, the Global Trust, the Global Trustee, or any of their officers, employees, professionals, agents or representatives, without the prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to a final order. On and after the Effective Date, no act to collect or recover from, or offset against, or to create, perfect or enforce any right, claim, interest or remedy by any entity, other than the Global Trust, against Global, Reorganized Global, the Global Trust, the Global Trustee or any of their officers, employees, professionals, agents or representatives on account of a pre-Confirmation Claim, may be taken without the prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court in a final order. This provision of the Plan does not require that a defendant in a proceeding filed by the Global Trust obtain the approval of the Bankruptcy Court to assert any defense or setoff in such proceeding.

 

27
 

11. Termination of the Global Trust.

The Global Trust shall be irrevocable. The Global Trust shall terminate when the Global Trustee has performed all of his duties under the Plan and the Global Trust Agreement, including the liquidation of all of the property, claims, rights and causes of action of Global and its Estate, which date shall not be more than five (5) years from and after the Effective Date; provided, however, that, if in the reasonable determination of the Global Trustee, in light of existing facts and circumstances, the liquidation of the property, claims, rights and causes of action in the Global Trust and the distribution of all Cash will not be completed within that time, then, not more than ninety (90) days prior to that date, the Global Trustee may amend the Liquidating Trust Agreement to provide that the Global Trust shall extend for an additional period of up to one (1) year. Prior to the expiration of such one (1) year period, the Global Trustee may seek and, for cause shown, obtain an order from the Bankruptcy Court extending the Global Trust for any additional time the Bankruptcy Court deems necessary or appropriate, after notice and opportunity for hearing have been provided to the entities that have requested special notice.

 

12. Reports By the Global Trust.

The fiscal year of the Global Trust shall end on December 31 of each year. In accordance with the Plan and the Liquidating Trust Agreement, in conjunction with any interim or final distributions, but in any event, at least once a year, the Global Trust shall serve the following unaudited annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and the following unaudited written reports and accounts on the those entities that have requested special notice: (a) financial statements showing the assets and liabilities of the Global Trust, including the expense reserve, the reserve for unclaimed distributions and the reserve for disputed claims at the end of the period, (b) financial statements showing the receipts and disbursements of the Global Trust during the period, (c) a brief written report from the Global Trust about the disposition of any remaining property, claims, rights and causes of action of the Global Trust and distributions remaining, (d) a written report showing the number and amount of trust interests, disputed administrative expenses and disputed claims and changes during the period, and (e) any other written reports the Global Trustee elects to include. Until the Case is closed through the entry of a final decree by the Bankruptcy Court, a copy of the financial statements and reports shall be filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served on the United States Trustee. The Global Trust shall serve the United States Trustee with any and all documents that it files with the Bankruptcy Court after the Effective Date. In addition, the Global Trust is responsible for the timely payment of fees incurred pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930(a)(6); and in calculating such fees, the Global Trust shall file with the Bankruptcy Court and serve on the United States Trustee a quarterly Post Confirmation Status Report regarding all income and disbursements, including all plan payments, for each quarter (or portion thereof) the bankruptcy case remains open. The Global Trust shall prepare and distribute any other reports or other information that may be required by the Bankruptcy Court or the Bankruptcy Rules or that the Global Trustee determines are necessary or appropriate.

 

28
 

13. No Recourse Against the Global Trustee.

No recourse shall ever be had, directly or indirectly, against the Global Trustee or any of the officers, employees, professionals, agents or representatives of the Global Trust, whether by legal, equitable or other proceedings, by virtue of any law, statute, regulation or otherwise, or by virtue of any indebtedness of Global, its Estate or the Global Trust, it being expressly understood and agreed that all liabilities of the Global Trust shall be enforceable only against and be satisfied only out of the property, claims, rights and causes of action in the Global Trust or shall be evidence only of a right to payment out of such assets in the Global Trust, as the case may be.

 

C.              Disbursing Agent.

LNBRB, counsel for the Debtor, will act as the disbursing agent for the purpose of making the initial pro rata distribution of the Carve-Out to professionals and the CEO/CRO. The Global Trust will act as the disbursing agent for the purpose of making all of the other Distributions provided for under this Plan, including the distribution of New Common Stock to Class 4, Class 5 and Class 6 Claimants and Equity Security Interests.

 

D. Authorization to Take Required Actions.

Global’s corporate officers and agents are authorized to take any and all action necessary or appropriate to effectuate the terms of this Plan, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder.

 

29
 

IX. BUSINESS PLAN FOR REORGANIZED GLOBAL

Reorganized Global’s business plan is made up of two activities:

First, undertaking the administrative, accounting, SEC related, and all other work necessary to prepare and file updated financial statements and annual and quarterly reports with the SEC and any other governmental organizations, in order to re-establish Reorganized Global as a fully reporting public company and re-list its common stock on a nationally recognized stock exchange or market quotation system. In order to accomplish this goal, Reorganized Global’s plan is to complete the following SEC filings (among other filings and reports), which Reorganized Global will utilize best efforts to complete within 12 months from the Effective Date of the Plan:

10Q for the 4th quarter of 2007

10K annual report and audit for the year ended December 31st 2007

10Q for the 1st quarter of 2008

10Q for the 2nd quarter of 2008

10Q for the 3rd quarter of 2008 (not yet due)

10K annual report and audit for the year ended December 31st 2008 (not yet due)

The second activity is to conduct the search, perform the necessary analysis, negotiate a price and structure, plan the financing, and raise the necessary capital to acquire an operating business or effect a merger or acquisition, or capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, or other similar business combination with an operating business. The business going forward shall not be inconsistent with the business prior to filing for Chapter 11. However, Reorganized Global will not be limited to a particular industry. Nevertheless, management of Global has initially focused on the wine, communications, Global Positioning Systems, and related industries. To date, their efforts have been limited to exploring financing and acquisition opportunities with the intent to maximize the value of the business for Global’s Creditors. Global’s efforts in identifying a prospective target business have been ongoing since January 2008. Global has examined over 100 business opportunities including a wide range of detailed discussions with financing and management partners. Examples of acquisitions currently under examination are:

 

·       A technology based public company with a market cap of approximately $150 million

 

·       Acquisition of $20,000,000 of assets from a Chapter 7 liquidation case generating $6,000,000 of income.

 

·       Acquisition of a $150,000,000 wine business in partnership with a major wine group that would benefit from Global’s operating losses

 

·       Acquisition of 50% of a technology based company specializing in music and film

 

30
 

·       Reverse merger opportunities: i.e., establishment of an investment fund in which Reorganized Global would be the general partner and limited partners would fund acquisitions; Reorganized Global would receive 85% of the income of the partnership and the limited partners would receive 85% of the capital gains, thus maximizing the assets of Reorganized Global for Creditors

 

Global has received an informal offer to purchase the Global shell for $20,000. However, Debtor’s management believes that the potential value to be received by Creditors from Reorganized Global’s stock under this Plan is considerably higher. The following is a chart of the types of transactions and potential value Creditors might recover under optimal circumstances:

Sale of Global shell $ 20,000

Reverse merger  $ 350,000

Acquisition and continuation of Global business $1,000,000

 

 

31
 

 

X. LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS

The Plan must provide that a nonconsenting impaired Claimant or interest holder of a consenting Class receive at least as much as would be available had the Debtor filed a Chapter 7 petition instead.

In a Chapter 7 case, the general rule is that the Debtor's assets are sold by a trustee. Unsecured creditors share in the proceeds of sale only after secured Creditors and administrative Claimants are paid.

A Creditor would recover from the assets of the bankruptcy Estate less under Chapter 7 than under Chapter 11 for at least two reasons. First, the recovery by Creditors in a liquidation would be less than the recovery proposed under the Plan because the Plan proposes to distribute 4,800,000 shares of the New Common Stock to Creditors. In a Chapter 7, there would be no stock to distribute since the Debtor would be liquidated and its stock would be worthless. Second, in a Chapter 7 case, a trustee is appointed and is entitled to compensation from the bankruptcy estate pursuant to Section 326(a) of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. § 326(a)) in an amount no more than 25% of the first $5,000 of all moneys disbursed, 10% on any amount over $5,000 but no more than $50,000, 5% on any amount over $50,000 but no more than $1,000,000, and such reasonable compensation no more than 3% of moneys over $1,000,000. Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the Global Trustee will receive a flat fee of three percent (3%) of any recovery. This fee will be less than a Chapter 7 trustee’s fee calculated pursuant to Section 326(a).

32
 

 

XI. MANNER OF DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS

A. Objections to Claims

1.               Authority to Object to, and to Compromise, Claims.

The Global Trust, or any other party in interest, will have the right to file objections to the allowance of any Claims filed on or prior to the Claims Objection Bar Date. The Global Trust’s right to object to the allowance of any Claims shall include the right to assert counterclaims and setoff rights. The Global Trust will have the authority, in the reasonable exercise of its business judgment, to settle or compromise any Claim following the Effective Date by submitting an appropriate stipulation to the Court with notice to the Post-Effective Date Notice Parties. So long as no objection and request for hearing on such stipulation is filed within ten (10) calendar days of such notice, the Global Trust shall be entitled to effectuate the settlement of the Claim.

2. Disallowance of Certain Scheduled Claims.

Pursuant to Rule 3003(c)(2) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, those Creditors whose Claims were scheduled as disputed, contingent or unliquidated and who did not timely file a proof of Claim shall not be treated as Creditors for purposes of voting or distribution under this Plan. All such Creditors are listed on Exhibit “2” as having a Claim that is disputed and in a zero (0.00) amount. The Order confirming this Plan shall include a provision that all such Claims are disallowed and shall not receive a distribution under the Plan.

3. Estimation of Claims.

As provided by Section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Court may estimate any contingent, unliquidated, or disputed Claim for the limited purpose of determining the Claimant’s eligibility to participate in the Confirmation of this Plan. Such estimation will be of a temporary and limited nature, and will not in any way affect the ultimate disallowance or allowance of the Claim, or the ability of any party in interest to subsequently object to the allowance of such Claim.

4.Retention of Jurisdiction to Determine Allowance of Claims Post-Effective Date.

The Court will retain jurisdiction over the Case to resolve any objections to Claims which are filed after the Effective Date or which are filed prior to the Effective Date but which are not resolved to final order prior to the Effective Date. The Confirmation Order shall not be res judicata, collateral estoppel, or other bar to Reorganized Global’s, the Global Trust’s or other party in interest’s, right to object to such Claims after the Effective Date.

B. Distribution Upon Resolution of Disputed Claims.

The Disbursing Agent or the Global Trust, however the case may be, will not make any Distribution to the holder of a Disputed Claim until such Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim. Pending a resolution of the Disputed Claim, the Disbursing Agent or the Global Trust, however the case may be, will create a Reserve Account which will contain a proposed Distribution based on the treatment that the Disputed Claim would receive if it became an Allowed Claim.

33
 

Within sixty (60) days after a Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, the Disbursing Agent or the Global Trust, however the case may be, will make the Distribution to the holder of such Allowed Claim from the Reserve Account in an amount equal to what the holder of such Allowed Claim would have received if the Claim had been allowed in such amount as of the Effective Date.

In the event that the Disputed Claim is disallowed, that portion of the Reserve Account which was designated for payment of the Disputed Claim will be distributed to Allowed Claims in accordance with the treatment set forth in this Plan.

C. Pursuit of Assigned Litigation and Other Actions.

Global or the Global Trust, however the case may be, shall have the right to pursue the Assigned Litigation, with the proceeds of such litigation to be vested in the Global Trust for the benefit of unpaid Administrative Claims, Priority Tax Claims and Class 4 Allowed Claims. Global or the Global Trust, however the case may be, shall have the authority, in the reasonable exercise of its business judgment, to settle or compromise any Assigned Litigation following the Effective Date by submitting a stipulation to the Court with notice to Post-Effective Date Notice Parties. So long as no objection and request for hearing on such stipulation is filed within ten days of the filing of such notice, the Global Trust shall be entitled to effectuate such settlement.

D. Exculpations and Releases.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither Global, the Global Trustee, the Global Estate, the Committee, Gryphon, nor any of their employees or the professionals employed or retained by any of them, whether or not by Bankruptcy Court order (each, a "Released Person"), shall have or incur liability to any person or entity for an act taken or omission made in good faith after the Petition Date in connection with or related to the formulation of the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or a contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document created in connection therewith, the solicitation of acceptances for or confirmation of the Plan, or the consummation and implementation of the Plan and the transactions contemplated therein. Each Released Person shall in all respects be entitled to reasonably rely on the advice of counsel with respect to its duties and responsibilities under the Plan.

34
 

Global, the Committee, the Global Estate and all professionals employed by the Global Estate will be deemed to be forever released, waived and discharged of all claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, debts, rights, causes of action and liabilities whatsoever in connection with, or related to, Global, the Global Estate, and this Plan whether liquidated or unliquidated, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, foreseen or unforseen, then existing or thereafter a rising, in law, equity or otherwise that are based in whole or part on any act, omission, transaction, event or other occurrence taking place on or prior to the Effective Date in any way relating to Global, the Global Estate, the Committee or this Plan. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the foregoing release shall not apply to any officers or directors of Global, except for A. John A. Bryan, Jr., shall not apply to any actions found to have been taken in bad faith or not in conformance with the Bankruptcy Code, and shall not apply to actions taken outside of the purview of the Committee’s official duties.

1. Release of Claims Against Gryphon.

In settlement negotiations with respect to the Debtor’s Objection to the Gryphon Claim (the “Debtor’s Objection”) and Gryphon’s joinder to the Committee’s objection to the Plan (the “Gryphon Joinder”), Gryphon requested that the Debtor provide Gryphon a general release of any and all Claims which the Debtor’s Estate may hold against Gryphon. Although the Debtor’s investigation did not reveal any Estate Claims against Gryphon, other than those already asserted in the Debtor’s Objection, the Debtor advised Gryphon that in light of the fact that this Case is being administered for the benefit of Creditors, Gryphon should seek the approval of the Committee regarding a release of any and all Claims which the Debtor’s Estate may hold against Gryphon.

On or about December 10, 2008, the Committee advised the Debtor that the Committee believed it would be appropriate for the Estate to provide the requested release to Gryphon in connection with the Plan. Based on the Committee’s recommendation, and because this Case is being administered for the benefit of Creditors, the Debtor has agreed to do so. In light of the foregoing, the entry of the Confirmation Order shall have the effect of releasing Gryphon of any and all Claims of the Estate.

E. Injunctions.

The Confirmation Order shall enjoin the prosecution, whether directly, derivatively or otherwise, of any claim, obligation, suit, judgment, damage, demand, debt, right, cause of action, liability or interest released, discharged or terminated pursuant to this Plan.

Except as provided in this Plan or the Confirmation Order, as of the Effective Date, all entities that have held, currently hold or may hold a Claim or other debt or liability that is discharged or an interest or other right of an Equity Security Holder that is impaired pursuant to the terms of this Plan are permanently enjoined from taking any of the following actions against Global, the Global Estate, the Committee, the Global Trust or their property on account of any such discharged claims, debts or liabilities or terminated interests or rights: (i) commencing or continuing, in any manner or in any place, any action or other proceeding; (ii) enforcing, attaching, collecting or recovering in any manner any judgment, award, decree or order; (iii) creating, perfecting or enforcing any lien or encumbrance; (iv) asserting a setoff, right of subrogation or recoupment of any kind against any debt, liability or obligation due to Global and (v) commencing or continuing any action in any manner, in any place that does not comply with or is inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan.

By accepting distribution pursuant to this Plan, each holder of an Allowed Claim receiving distributions pursuant to this Plan will be deemed to have specifically consented to the injunctions set forth in this Section.

XII. EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES

On the Effective Date, all executory contracts and unexpired leases that have not previously been rejected will be deemed rejected by Global. The Confirmation Order will also constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the rejection of all such executory contracts and unexpired leases.

Any claims for damages arising from the rejection of any executory contracts and unexpired leases shall be filed and served no later than the Administrative Claims Bar Date, and any objections to the allowance of such Claims shall be filed and served no later than the Claims Objection Deadline.

 

36
 

XIII. RETENTION OF JURISDICTION

After the Confirmation of this Plan and occurrence of the Effective Date, in addition to jurisdiction which exists in any other court, the Bankruptcy Court will retain such jurisdiction as is legally permissible including for the following purposes:

A.              To resolve any and all disputes regarding the operation and interpretation of the Plan and the Confirmation Order;

B.              To determine the allowability, classification, or priority of Claims and Equity Security Interests upon objection by Global, the Global Trust, or any other party in interest with standing to bring such objection or proceeding;

C.              To determine the extent, validity and priority of any lien asserted against any Assets of the Global Estate, or any lien asserted against Global arising prior to the Effective Date;

D.              To construe and take any action to enforce this Plan, the Confirmation Order, and any other order of the Bankruptcy Court issued in this Case; to issue such orders as may be necessary for the implementation, execution, performance, and consummation of this Plan, the Confirmation Order, and all matters referred to in this Plan, the Confirmation Order; and to determine all matters that may be pending before the Bankruptcy Court in this Case on or before the Effective Date with respect to any person or entity related thereto;

E.              To resolve any dispute regarding the implementation, execution, performance, consummation, or interpretation of this Plan or the Confirmation Order;

F.               To determine, to the extent necessary, any and all Professional Fee Applications;

G.              To determine any and all Administrative Claims;

H.              To determine motions, filed before the Effective Date, for the rejection, assumption, or assignment of any executory contracts or unexpired leases not otherwise assumed or rejected under this Plan, as well as the allowance of any Claims resulting therefrom;

I.                To determine all applications, motions, adversary proceedings, contested matters, and any other litigated matters relating to this Case and instituted during the pendency of this Case, whether before, on, or after the Effective Date;

J.                To determine such other matters and for such other purposes as may be provided in the Confirmation Order.

L.              Except as otherwise provided in this Plan or the Confirmation Order, to issue injunctions or to take such other actions or make such other orders as may be necessary or appropriate to restrain interference with this Plan or the Confirmation Order, or to facilitate the execution or implementation by any person or entity of this Plan or the Confirmation Order;

M.            To issue such orders in aid of consummation of this Plan or the Confirmation Order, notwithstanding any otherwise applicable non-bankruptcy law, with respect to any person or entity, to the fullest extent authorized by the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Rules; and

N.              To enter a final decree closing this Case.

 

38
 

XIV.CHANGES IN RATES SUBJECT TO REGULATORY COMMISSION APPROVAL

Global is not subject to governmental regulatory commission approval of its rates.

 

XV. MISCELLANEOUS ISSUES REGARDING PLAN DISTRIBUTIONS

 

A.               Unclaimed Property.

Any Distribution to be distributed to any Claimant under this Plan shall be forfeited to Reorganized Global unless claimed by the Claimant before the later of: (i) one (1) year after the Confirmation Date; or (ii) sixty (60) days after an order allowing that Claimant’s Claim becomes a final order.

B.             De Minimus Cash and Stock Distributions.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, no Cash Distributions shall be made on account of any Allowed Claim if the Cash Distribution amount is less than $25.00. Holders of Allowed Claims who would otherwise be entitled to a Distribution in an amount of less than $25.00 shall receive no Distribution on account of such Allowed Claim because the value of such Allowed Claim would be de minimus and the administrative costs associated with processing and mailing the Distribution to the holder of such Allowed Claim would likely exceed the amount of the Distribution. No Distribution of less than 100 shares of New Common Stock shall be made to any holder of an Allowed Claim or a Class 6 interest, as such a Distribution would be de minimus.

///

///

///

39
 

C. No Fractional Shares.

No fractional shares of New Common Stock shall be issued and all fractional shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share. Holders of Allowed Claims who would be entitled to fractional shares but for this provision shall receive no consideration therefore because such amount will be de minimus.

D. Final Distribution.

Upon resolution of all outstanding objections to disputed Claims, and the payment of all expenses and other obligations, the Global Trust shall cause the distribution of all remaining available assets of the Global Trust: (i) first, to each holder of an Allowed Administrative Claim, (ii) second, to each holder of an Allowed Tax Priority Claim; and (iii) third, to each holder of an Allowed Claim in Class 4 pro rata in the proration that each holder’s Allowed Class 4 Claim bears to the aggregate amount of all Class 4 Allowed Claims.

XVI.EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION, RESALE ISSUES AND RESTRICTIONS ON SALE

In reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and of state and local securities laws afforded by Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, Reorganized Debtor’s new common stock to be issued pursuant to the Plan on and after the Effective Date need not be registered under the Securities Act or any state or local securities laws. The Reorganized Debtor’s common stock will not be subject to any statutory restrictions on transferability and may be resold by any holder without registration under the Securities Act or other federal securities laws pursuant to the exemption provided by section 4(1) of the Securities Act, unless the holder is an “underwriter” with respect to such securities, as that term is defined in Section 1145(b) of the Code. Entities who believe they may be “underwriters” under the definition contained in Section 1145 of the Code are advised to consult their own counsel with respect to the availability of the exemption provided by Section 1145. The foregoing exemption provided for under Section 1145 applies to issuance of securities in connection with the Plan and the exemption shall not be effective as to future issuance of stock (other than pursuant to the Plan). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the 100,000 shares of New Common Stock to be issued to the Global Trust are not being issued pursuant of Section 1145. Rather, those shares are being issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and the resale of those securities will be governed by Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933.

ANY CREDITOR OR ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE CLAIMANT RECEIVING MORE THAN 3,000 SHARES OF THE REORGANIZED DEBTOR’S COMMON STOCK ISSUED PURSUANT TO THE PLAN SHALL BE LIMITED IN THE SALE OF SUCH STOCK TO NO MORE THAN 1,000 SHARES PER TRADING DAY UNLESS OTHERWISE AUTHORIZED IN WRITING BY THE TRUSTEE OF THE LIQUIDATING TRUST.

 

41
 

XVII.AMENDMENT TO CHARTER DOCUMENTS OF DEBTOR AND OTHER MATTERS

A. Cancellation of Outstanding Securities of the Debtor.

On the Effective Date, without shareholder approval, all outstanding instruments and securities representing Equity Security Interests and any rights to acquire Equity Security Interests in the Debtor shall be deemed canceled and of no further force or effect, without any further action on the part of the Court or any person. The holders of such canceled instruments, securities, and other documents shall have no rights arising from or relating to such instruments, securities or other documents or the cancellation thereof, except the rights provided pursuant to this Plan.

B. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation

On the Effective Date, the Board of Directors of Reorganized Global shall be authorized to amend the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws to accomplish the following:

2. Effect a quasi-reorganization for accounting purposes;

42
 

C. Take Required Actions

Without shareholder approval, the Board of Directors of Reorganized Global shall be authorized to take any and all action necessary or appropriate to effectuate any amendments to Reorganized Global’s Articles of Incorporation and/or Bylaws called for under the Plan or otherwise, and the Board of Directors and officers of the Reorganized Debtor shall be authorized to execute, verify, acknowledge, file and publish any and all instruments or documents that may be required to accomplish same.

 

43
 

XVIII. EFFECT OF CONFIRMATION OF THIS PLAN

 

A.               Discharge.

On the Effective Date, Global will be discharged of liability for payment of debts incurred prior to the Confirmation Date as provided in § 1141(d) of the Bankruptcy Code; however, liabilities or obligations imposed by this Plan will not be discharged .

B.               Revesting of Property in the Reorganized Debtor.

Except as provided elsewhere in this Plan, Confirmation will revest all property of the Global Estate in Reorganized Global.

C. Default.

Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Confirmation Order, in the event that the Global Trust shall default in the performance of any of its obligations under the Plan and shall not have cured such a default within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of default from the Creditor to whom the performance is due, then the entity or individual to whom the performance is due may pursue such remedies as are available at law or in equity. An event of default occurring with respect to one claim shall not be any event of default with respect to any other claim.

D. Modification of Plan.

Global may modify this Plan at any time prior to Confirmation, subject to the requirements of Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3019(a).

Reorganized Global or the Global Trust, as the case may be, may seek to modify this Plan at any time after the Confirmation Date only if: (1) the Plan has not been substantially consummated; and (2) the Bankruptcy Court authorizes the proposed modifications after notice and a hearing.

E. Dissolution of Committee.

F. Post-Confirmation Status Report.

Within 120 days of the entry of the Confirmation Order, the Global Trust will file a Post-Confirmation Status Report with the Bankruptcy Court, reporting as to the progress that has been made in the implementation and consummation of the confirmed Plan. The Post Confirmation Status Report shall be served upon the United States Trustee, counsel for the Committee, and the Post-Effective Date Notice Parties. The Global Trust will file further Post Confirmation Status Reports every 120 days, consecutively, and serve such further Post Confirmation Status Reports on the same parties. The obligation to file post-confirmation status reports shall terminate upon the entry of the Final Decree, which may be requested by the Reorganized Debtor or the Global Trust at any time after the Effective Date.

44
 

G. Post-Confirmation Conversion/Dismissal.

Any creditor or party in interest may bring a motion to convert or dismiss the Case under § 1112(b) after Confirmation if there is a default in the performance under this Plan. If the Bankruptcy Court orders the Case converted to Chapter 7 after Confirmation, then all of the assets that have been transferred to the Global Trust and that had not yet been disbursed pursuant to the terms of this Plan, will be automatically transferred to the newly-created Chapter 7 estate. The automatic stay will be reimposed with respect to such assets, but only to the extent that relief from stay was not previously authorized by the Bankruptcy Court during the Case.

H. Revocation of Confirmation Order.

The Confirmation Order may be revoked by the Bankruptcy Court solely upon a finding by the Bankruptcy Court that the Confirmation Order was procured by fraud, and if the party seeking its revocation brings an adversary proceeding within 180 days after the Confirmation Date.

I. Final Decree.

Once the Global Estate has been fully administered as contemplated by Bankruptcy Rule 3022, then the Reorganized Debtor or the Global Trust will file a motion with the Court to obtain a final decree to close the Case. After the Effective Date, the Global Trust will be responsible for timely payment of all fees incurred pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930(a)(6) through the closing of the Case.
