Adelphia Recovery Trust Announces That It Is Seeking Court Approval To Extend the Term of the Trust.

WILMINGTON, Del., Nov. 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Adelphia Recovery Trust ("ART") announced today that it has filed a motion with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York seeking approval to extend the term of the ART through December 31, 2014.  As set forth in greater detail in the ART's motion, Adelphia's plan of reorganization established an initial five-year term for the ART, subject to the Trustees' right to extend the term with the Bankruptcy Court's approval.  Although the Trust has resolved several causes of action and distributed $215 million to date to interest holders, other causes of action have not been and are not likely to be resolved by February 13, 2012, when the ART's initial term expires.  An extension will provide additional time to resolve the ART's pending causes of action and permit an orderly termination of the ART.  

A copy of the ART's motion is available in the "Important Documents-Adelphia Recovery Trust" section of Adelphia's website at www.adelphiarestructuring.com. Interest holders may direct questions to [email protected].
