AFFIDAVIT OF KATHERINE KINSELLA REGARDING PLAN NOTIFICATION PROGRAM

I, Katherine Kinsella, being duly sworn, hereby declare as follows:

1. I am President of Kinsella Media, LLC (“KM”), an advertising and legal notification

firm in Washington, D.C. specializing in the design and implementation of notification

programs to reach unidentified putative class members primarily in consumer and

antitrust class actions and claimants in bankruptcy and mass tort litigation. My

business address is 2001 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Suite 300, Washington, D.C.

20006. My telephone number is (202) 686-4111.

2. I submit this affidavit In re Garlock Sealing Technologies, LLC at the request of

Counsel for Debtors to supplement my court testimony of November 17, 2014 and to

describe revisions made to the Notice Program previously filed on June 24, 2014.

3. This affidavit is based upon my personal knowledge and upon information provided by

Debtors’ Counsel, my associates, and staff.

4. KM made revisions to the Notice Program and certain Notice Materials to reflect a.)

AFFIDAVIT OF KATHERINE KINSELLA 2

Reorganization and Disclosure Statement (“Plan”), b.) changes in media selections that

affected the reach of the Notice Program, c.) the addition of a Notice Program in

Canada, and d.) the inclusion a summary document on the Notice Website to assist

Asbestos Claimants in understanding the Plan and Disclosure Statement. I submit this

affidavit to describe the revised elements of the Notice Program. The revised Notice

Program is attached as Exhibit 1.

Revisions to the Proposed Notice Program

5. As a result of the settlement between the Debtors and the Future Claimants’

Representative, changes were made to the Plan that required incorporation in the text of

the Publication Notice. Those changes included:

a) Increasing the amount of money the Plan proposes to use to pay GST Asbestos

Claimants to $357.5 million, with potential additional funding of $132 million.

b) The addition of an Asbestos Claims Bar Date and information about who must

file a claim and when.

6. With respect to the media originally selected to provide reach of the four target

audiences, adjustments to the Notice Program were necessary due to the following:

a) The newspaper supplement, USA Weekend ceased publication.

b) The circulation and readership of the newspaper supplement, Parade dropped

significantly.

c) Updated delivery estimates from the Spring 2014 GfK MRI study indicated an

additional drop in reaches for the selected media.

7. In order to make up for the decrease in reach levels, the following alterations were

made to the Paid Media Program:



a) A full-page ad in People magazine and a full-page spread (two pages) in

Reader’s Digest were added.

b) Both the television buy and the online buys were increased.

8. The adjustments to the media in the revised Notice Program delivers slightly higher

reaches of the targeted audiences as follows:

a) An estimated 95.5% of Men 65+ will be reached with an average estimated

frequency of 5.1 times. The original reach was an estimated 95.5% with an

estimated 4.2 frequency.

b) An estimated 95.2% of Adults 65+ will be reached with an average estimated



c) An estimated 91.8% of Adults 45+ will be reached with an average estimated



d) An estimated 90.1% of Adults 35+ will be reached with an average estimated



9. Debtors requested that KM develop a program to provide Notice to potential GST

Asbestos Claimants in Canada. Based upon briefings by Debtors’ Counsel and

Garlock employees involved in sales and marketing, it is our understanding the

asbestos-containing products used in Canada were primarily manufactured in Canada,

although some U.S.-produced products were shipped and distributed there. It is our

further understanding that very few claims have been filed from Canada and that the



Debtors maintain that remedies available to Canadian Asbestos Claimants preclude the

filing of claims against them. Although the volume of claims that could be made by

Canadian Asbestos Claimants would likely be minimal, Notice will be provided

consistent with these understandings.

10. The primary target demographic of Asbestos Claimants is Men 65 years of age and

older. However, Canadian television measurement is not available for Men 65+ or

Adults 65+. Therefore, the broader demographic of Men 50 years of age or older

(“Men 50+”) is the primary demographic target, and Adults 50 years of age or older

(“Adults 50+”) is the secondary target.

11. National and cable television and national newspapers in Canada were selected because

of their ability to effectively provide national coverage.

12. The Media Program includes Notice placements in national newspapers (National Post

and The Globe and Mail). To provide a delivery estimate of the newspaper activity,

KM analyzed syndicated data available from the Spring 2014 2-Year Study1 available

from the Print Measurement Bureau (“PMB”). PMB is Canada’s leading data provider

of national measurements for media usage, audience composition, and other relevant

factors pertaining to major media vehicles.

13. The Paid Media Program also includes thirty-second Television Spots in English and

French, which will prominently feature the toll-free number and the website address for

Asbestos Claimants, and will run for two to three weeks across national and cable

networks.

14. The estimated reach of the Canadian Media Program and the estimated frequency of

exposure to the media vehicles are as follows: 1 This study provides measurement of national consumer magazines and national newspapers.



a) An estimated 71.5% of Men 50+ will be reached with an average estimated

frequency of 2.8 times.

b) An estimated 72% of Adults 50+ will be reached with an average estimated

frequency of 2.8 times.

15. KM will also sponsor keywords and phrases with all major search engines in Canada,

including: Google AdWords, Yahoo! Search Marketing, and Bing Microsoft

Advertising. When a user searches for one of the specified search terms or phrases,

sponsored links appear on the results page.

16. Each advertisement will prominently feature a toll-free number and website address

for Asbestos Claimants to obtain more information in the form of the Notice Package.

17. A national press release on PR Newswire’s Canadian circuit will be distributed. The

press release will highlight the toll-free telephone number and the website address for

Asbestos Claimants to obtain complete information.

18. In addition to the above revisions to the Notice Program, an Overview of the

Disclosure Statement and the Plan of Reorganization (“Overview” attached to the

Notice Program as Exhibit H) will be available on the Notice Website. The Overview

summarizes important information in an easy to use question-and-answer format that

will enable Asbestos Claimants to understand their legal rights, voting on the Plan,

and how asbestos claims will be treated.



Conclusion

19. It is my opinion that the revisions to the Notice Program maintain the integrity of the

original Notice Program and provide the best notice practicable under the

circumstances in both the United States and Canada.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

CASE BACKGROUND: SITUATION ANALYSIS

This Notice Program is submitted in connection with Debtors’ Motion for the Entry of an Order Approving Solicitation and Confirmation Procedures and Schedule in In Re Garlock Sealing Technologies, LLC, Chapter 11, Case No. 10-BK-31607 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of North Carolina, Charlotte Division. The Notice Program is targeted to Personal Injury Asbestos Claimants (“Asbestos Claimants”) who may have certain claims against Garlock Sealing Technologies, LLC (“Garlock”) and its affiliates, in the United States, its territories, and its commonwealths, and Canada. The purpose of the Notice Program is to outline procedures to provide fair and adequate notice to the Asbestos Claimants. The Program is consistent with notice programs KM designed and implemented in other asbestos bankruptcies and class actions, all of which have received court approval. In developing the Notice Program, KM relied on information provided by the Debtors and their experts, on research previously conducted in other asbestos litigation, and on its experience in executing similar plans.




6

CASE BACKGROUND: MANUFACTURING HISTORY & PRODUCTS

Based on information provided by the Debtors for the purpose of developing this Notice Program, the following chronological outline has been constructed regarding the relevant manufacturing history of Garlock. This information is not intended to be the basis for any admission of liability. It is solely to assist in the notification of persons in specific occupational fields and geographic locations about the types of asbestos-containing products produced and distributed by Garlock and the time periods and locations where exposure may have occurred.

The Debtors, Garlock Sealing Technologies, LLC (a North Carolina limited liability company) and The Anchor Packing Company and Garrison Litigation Management Group, Ltd. (North Carolina corporations), are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of EnPro Industries, Inc., a Charlotte-headquartered manufacturer of engineered industrial products.

Garlock’s asbestos litigation principally involves two asbestos-containing sealing products: compressed asbestos sheet gaskets and asbestos packing. Asbestos gaskets were used to seal pipes and equipment in Navy, other marine, refinery, and other industrial applications – involving elevated temperatures and a corrosive environment. Since at least as early as 1907, Garlock has produced and sold encapsulated asbestos-containing gaskets and packing. Garlock discontinued the manufacture of asbestos-containing gaskets in 2000. Its last asbestos-containing gasket sale is believed to have been in early 2001. Garlock believes its last such packing sale was in approximately 1982.

Compressed asbestos gaskets were manufactured in sheets and reached the consumer in one of two forms: (1) sheet gasket material that often came in rolls out of which the purchaser cut gaskets to size and (2) pre-cut gaskets that the purchaser ordered to requested sizes and shapes either directly from Garlock or from a gasket supply company that engaged in custom gasket cutting. Packing is braided yarn that is wrapped around the shafts of valves and other equipment to prevent leaks.

In 1970, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) started regulating asbestos exposure in the workplace. In 1973 and 1975, the Environmental Protection Agency and in 1977, the Consumer Product Safety Commission banned various asbestos products. Because of this regulatory activity, new friable asbestos insulation products disappeared from the market by the mid-1970s. Old friable asbestos products remained in the market creating potential exposure well beyond the 1970s.

Although asbestos insulation was banned, the regulatory activity of the 1970s did not restrict the sale and use of asbestos gaskets and packing. Further, OSHA exempted encapsulated products from its labeling requirement. Still, by 1977, Garlock had voluntarily placed the OSHA warning on all its asbestos products. In the 1980s, Garlock developed substitutes for asbestos-containing gaskets and packing. By 1982, Garlock found suitable replacements for asbestos packing in nearly all applications. By 2001, Garlock had found substitutes for most industrial applications of asbestos gaskets and discontinued manufacturing them.

Garlock has been an asbestos defendant for 35 years. Since 1975, plaintiffs’ firms have named Garlock in approximately 835,000 asbestos cases, and Garlock has paid approximately $1.37 billion to plaintiffs. From the late 1980s to 2000, Garlock received 391,237 asbestos claims, or an average of approximately 39,000 new claims each year.

➢ PAID MEDIA NOTICE: Broad national and local published notice through the use of national and local paid and earned media.

➢ THIRD-PARTY NOTICE: Notice by direct mail to third-parties who are likely to have

contact with Asbestos Claimants.

The proposed Notice Program takes into consideration information provided by the Debtors as well as research conducted by KM as follows:

• The asbestos-related business and products of Garlock.

• The demographics of Asbestos Claimants – age, gender, occupation, and the like.

• The media vehicles through which Asbestos Claimants typically receive information.

• The likely geographic concentration of Asbestos Claimants based on identifiable areas

where Debtors’ asbestos-containing products were manufactured or used.

• Third-party organizations that may have contact with Asbestos Claimants including occupationally-related trade or professional associations and organizations whose membership may include individuals with asbestos personal injuries.

UNITED STATES ADVERTISING

TARGET AUDIENCE: SELECTION METHODOLOGY

In developing the Notice Program, KM used information provided by the Debtors relating to their manufacture of asbestos-containing products and asbestos claims history. KM was provided with:

• Extensive briefings by counsel to the Debtors regarding the asbestos history of Garlock.

• The “Information Brief of Garlock Sealing Technologies LLC.”

• Information on Garlock’s asbestos-containing products.

• Statistics regarding age and gender of past and current asbestos personal injury claimants.

• Information regarding occupations and industries where Garlock products were used.

• The manufacturing location for Garlock asbestos products. In addition to the above, KM relied on research previously conducted in other asbestos-related cases with respect to the history of asbestos usage in the United States; occupations most likely to have asbestos exposure; types and usage of asbestos products; types of asbestos health injuries; and the like. For the purpose of designing the paid media segment of the Notice Program, KM selected demographics that encompass the characteristics of the target audiences. Media vehicles were then analyzed and selected for their strength and efficiency in reaching the demographic targets. For the purpose of developing profiles of the demographics and media habits of Claimants, KM analyzed syndicated data available from the GfK MRI’s 2014 Doublebase Study1. GfK MRI is the leading U.S. supplier of multimedia audience research. As a nationally accredited research firm, it provides information concerning magazines, television, radio, Internet and other media to leading

1 Since 1979, GfK MRI’s Survey of the American Consumer has conducted detailed polling of a large sample of U.S. adults about the media they see and hear and about the products they use. Participants in the survey are identified by age, occupation, income, education, and by where they live, among other things. They are asked what magazines and newspapers they read, what TV shows and cable channels they watch, and are asked questions about Internet access and radio formats. Survey data indicate the brands and products they use from among 500 categories and 6000 consumer brands. The data from this survey is used by media practitioners industry-wide to characterize media and product users by demographics and to account for and compare the size and make-up of media audiences. The Doublebase Study consists of two years of Survey of the American Consumer data.




11

national advertisers and over 450 advertising agencies – including 90 of the top 100 in the U.S. GfK MRI’s nationally-syndicated data is widely used by these companies as the basis for the majority of the media and marketing plans written for advertised brands in the U.S. Specifically, GfK MRI presents a single-source measurement of major media, products, services, and in-depth consumer demographic and lifestyle characteristics. GfK MRI provides data on media usage, audience composition, and other relevant factors pertaining to all major media types as well as the readership of print vehicles. KM analyzed and considered the historical, industrial, demographic, and geographic information cited above to determine the most appropriate target audience(s).




12

TARGET AUDIENCES: DEMOGRAPHICS

Since all media is purchased based on demographics, it is important to determine age, gender, and other demographic characteristics in order to design a media-based notice program to adequately reach the Asbestos Claimants.

Historically, men who were occupationally exposed to asbestos over a protracted period of time during the 1930s up until the mid-1970s filed the vast majority of asbestos claims. Latency periods for asbestos-related diseases differ and can extend for decades after exposure. The latency period for asbestosis and lung cancer is a minimum of 15 years with an average of 20 to 25 years. Pleural and peritoneal mesotheliomas have a minimum latency period of 15 years with an average of 30 to 40 years. It is difficult to pinpoint when, or if, an exposure will result in an illness.

A review of claims data with date of birth information indicates that the vast majority of Asbestos Claimants who have claims filed through 2012 are 65 years of age and older.

Age information was included in about 32% of the approximately 696,123 claims. Based on this data, it is estimated that approximately 98.1% percent of the individuals who filed claims currently would be 65 years of age and older as illustrated by the following chart:

CLAIMS 34-49 50-64 65-74 75-84 84-95 96-104 105+ 223,006 0.03% 1.86% 10.68% 25.93% 40.90% 18.37% 2.23%

KM also considered the identifiable time periods that Garlock asbestos-containing products were used in the marketplace and when they were eliminated.

Based on these considerations and the fact that claims are based on occupational exposure to asbestos and asbestos-containing products, the primary target is men aged 65 years of age and older (“Men 65+”) who are blue collar workers in, among other things, industrial and construction-related occupations where high-temperature asbestos insulation and other asbestos-containing products were used.

Although the Notice Program is designed to primarily reach Men 65+, the communications and media vehicles selected will also provide significant reach of a secondary target of Adults 65 years of age and older (“Adults 65+”), a tertiary target of adults 45 years of age and older (“Adults 45+”), and a quaternary target of adults 35 years of age and older (“Adults 35+) in order to ensure comprehensive notice to younger individuals who could potentially be Asbestos Claimants entitled to participate in the bankruptcy proceedings.




13

TARGET AUDIENCES While characteristics such as occupation were considered for directional purposes, a broader age and gender target is required for purposes of buying and measuring media. KM examined the demographics of affected claimants and selected the following target audiences:

• Primary Target – Men 65+

• Secondary Target – Adults 65+

• Tertiary Target – Adults 45+

• Quaternary Target – Adults 35+




14

TARGET AUDIENCES: MEDIA USAGE

Individuals spend varying amounts of time with different media. Certain demographic groups may be heavy consumers, light consumers, or non-users of a particular medium. For example, GfK MRI data shows that individuals who are less educated are likely to be heavy television viewers and light newspaper readers. Conversely, educated individuals are more likely to be heavy newspaper readers and light television viewers. KM focuses on media types used most often by the target audiences. To examine the media habits of the target audiences, KM compares the target audience’s media usage to that of the average adult 18 years of age and older (“Adult 18+”) in usage quintiles reported by GfK MRI. The study ranks respondents based on their amount of exposure to a medium and divides them into five equal-sized groups (“quintiles”) from heaviest usage (1) to lightest usage (5). The media usage of the target audience in each quintile is expressed as an index. An index of 100 is the average adult’s usage of a particular medium. Therefore, an index above 100 indicates a heavier usage of the medium than the average adult, and an index below 100 indicates a lighter usage of the medium than the average adult. The target audiences’ top two quintiles (heaviest and next heaviest usage) for each type of media are:

MEDIA ADULTS 18+ MEN 65+ ADULTS 65+ ADULTS 45+ ADULTS 35+

Magazine

Quintile 1 100 83 74 93 97 Quintile 2 100 99 98 100 100 Newspaper

Quintile 1 100 221 216 150 127 Quintile 2 100 84 86 99 100 Radio

Quintile 1 100 63 70 93 97 Quintile 2 100 78 69 92 96 Television Quintile 1 100 188 187 135 118 Quintile 2 100 122 127 116 108 Internet Quintile 1 100 37 33 67 78 Quintile 2 100 55 47 79 89




15

These data indicate the target audiences’ media consumption habits:

➢ Men 65+ and Adults 65+ are: • Heavy television viewers and newspaper readers, • Slightly less than average magazine readers, and • Light radio and Internet users.

➢ Adults 45+ are: • Average to above-average television viewers and newspaper readers, • Average magazine readers, and • Light radio and Internet users.

➢ Adults 35+ are:

• Average to above-average television viewers and newspaper readers, • Average magazine readers and radio listeners, and • Light Internet users.




16

TARGET AUDIENCES: GEOGRAPHIC CONSIDERATIONS

In developing the Notice Program, consideration was given to identifiable areas where Garlock’s asbestos-containing products were manufactured as well as potentially used. Information from the Debtors indicate that:

• The vast majority of Garlock’s asbestos-containing sealing products were designed,

manufactured, and sold by its facilities in Sodus, New York and Palmyra, New York, formerly known as Garlock Mechanical Sealing Division, and now known as Garlock Sealing Technologies.

In addition, consideration was given to identifiable areas where asbestos-containing products were widely used including:

• Oil refineries, steel mills, and shipbuilding sites where asbestos and asbestos-containing products were used during the 1940s through the 1970s.




17

PAID MEDIA PLACEMENTS: PLACEMENT OVERVIEW

The core of the Notice Program is paid media, which includes television as the primary notice vehicle, supported by national newspaper supplements, national consumer magazines, asbestos legal publications, online and local newspapers targeted to key areas selected on the geographic criteria previously cited. For the purpose of evaluating the strength and efficiency of the media, the selected media were measured against the demographic targets to establish the reach2 of the media program and the frequency3 of exposure to the media vehicles. The following list provides a brief summary of KM’s recommended media placements. More detailed information about each placement and its applicability to the target audience in this case appears on pages 18-28 of the plan.

2 Reach is the estimated number of different people exposed to a specific vehicle or combination of vehicles. It can be expressed as a whole number or percentage of the total population. 3 Frequency is the estimated average number of opportunities an audience member has to see the notice.




18

PAID MEDIA PLACEMENTS: TELEVISION

Television has the ability to reach a target audience with an immediate and accessible message. The combination of audio and visual message delivery increases the message impact. Viewers can quickly ascertain if the message is important and if so, decide to respond. The Notice Program calls for notice to be aired throughout the day in different programs to reach the highest number of viewers. Television advertisements will be aired across channels and programs targeting Men 65+. A combination of broadcast (ABC, CBS) and cable networks will be used. The television script is attached as Exhibit A. The television buy consists of:

➢ An estimated 269 Target Rating Points (“TRPs”)4 to air over a two to three week time period, generating an estimated 51,216,000 gross impressions5 against Men 65+.

This activity level will generate an estimated:

➢ 117,630,000 gross impressions against Adults 65+



Cable networks may include all or some of the following depending upon availability at the time media is purchased:

PAID MEDIA PLACEMENTS: NEWSPAPER SUPPLEMENTS

American Profile and Parade are newspaper supplements that are inserted into weekend or Sunday editions newspapers nationwide. These magazines, printed on newsprint, contain articles written for broad, general appeal and encourage readership through brevity. Issues are typically fewer than 30 pages. For this Notice Program, KM selected newspaper supplements because of their cost-effective reach of the target audiences. American Profile appears in 1,035 papers and Parade appears in 750 papers. There is a small amount of overlap, as some papers carry more than one supplement, so these numbers are not cumulative. Parade reaches every major media market in the country. The selected supplements provide coverage in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. A list of the newspapers into which the selected supplements are inserted is attached as Exhibit D.

KM selected the following newspaper supplement placement:

26

PAID MEDIA PLACEMENTS: LOCAL NEWSPAPERS

KM selected local newspapers for targeted notice to individuals who a) live or may have lived surrounding the manufacturing location of Garlock asbestos product, and b) worked in oil refineries, steel mills, and shipbuilding sites where asbestos-containing products were used during the 1940s through the 1970s. A Summary Notice as a quarter-page ad will be directed to these potential Claimants. These areas are likely to have potential Asbestos Claimants who may have been exposed to asbestos-containing products. The newspaper notice is included in the plan to provide additional opportunities for Asbestos Claimants to see the notice in geographic areas where it is known that significant asbestos products were manufactured or installed or significant asbestos exposure is alleged to have occurred. Although Americans are fairly mobile, blue-collar workers are less mobile than younger professional workers, and it is likely that many blue-collar workers, after retirement, could still reside in areas where they previously worked. KM selected the following local newspaper placements:

• A one-sixth-page ad will be placed in the Sunday edition of the top circulating newspaper in each of the 124 DMAs identified in Exhibit E.

• A quarter-page ad will be placed in the following newspapers which provide coverage within Sodus and Palmyra, NY:

o Geneva Finger Lakes Times (Sunday) o Rochester Democrat and Chronicle (Sunday) o Sodus Sun and Record o Times of Wayne County o Wayne Post

PAID MEDIA PLACEMENTS: INTERNET ADVERTISING

GfK MRI provides data on Internet usage by asking survey respondents about their online usage during the 30 days prior to the survey. Although not heavy users of the Internet, according to GfK MRI, 53.7% of Men 65+, 51.5% of Adults 65+, 70.7% of Adults 45+, and 75.7% of Adults 35+ used the Internet over a 30-day period. Accordingly, KM included Internet advertising in the Notice Program in order to provide Asbestos Claimants, particularly those in the younger age range, with additional national notice opportunities beyond the broad-reaching print program. Internet advertising delivers an immediate message and allows the viewer of an advertisement to instantly click to a website for further information.

WEBSITE ADVERTISING KM will place ads on broad-reaching advertising networks whose partner websites are likely to be visited by our target audiences. In addition, KM also selected a website whose visitors are highly comprised of the target audiences. (Delivery of Internet impressions to specific sites and categories within sites are subject to availability at the time KM purchases the media.) The banner advertisement is attached as Exhibit A. An estimated 222,114,000 impressions will be placed on the following properties:

➢ Advertising.com Network is a division of AOL Networks. Through its 40 owned and operated

AOL properties as well as partner sites and networks, Advertising.com provides massive reach with over 596 million global unique visitors. A list of properties and websites in the Advertising.com network is attached as Exhibit F.

➢ Facebook.com is a free, global social networking website that helps people communicate with friends, family, and coworkers.




30

➢ Specific Media is an online media company consisting of premium sites that cover topics such as news, entertainment, and sports and recreation and enables advertisers to target audiences through advanced proprietary technologies across a premium network.

➢ Weather.com is a weather site that features current conditions and forecasts for over 98,000 locations worldwide, along with local and regional radars. Weather.com is consistently rated in the top 5 for news, entertainment, and information web sites by Media Metrix.

➢ Xaxis is a network that represents over 5,000 websites.

➢ Yahoo! is a leading Internet brand and a global online network of integrated services providing users with entertainment and other quality content. A list of properties and websites in the Yahoo branded advertising network is attached as Exhibit G.




31

PAID MEDIA PLACEMENTS: UNITED STATES MEDIA DELIVERY

The paid media portion of the Notice Program provides Asbestos Claimants with multiple exposure opportunities to media vehicles carrying the Notice and delivers the following estimated reach and frequency measurements7 using the 2014 Spring GfK MRI Study and December 2014 comScore study:8

➢ An estimated 95.5% of Men 65+ will be reached with an average estimated frequency of 5.1 times. An estimated 18,013,000 Men 65+ will have an opportunity to see the Notice.

➢ An estimated 95.2% of Adults 65+ will be reached with an average estimated frequency of 5.1 times. An estimated 40,578,000 Adults 65+ will have an opportunity to see the Notice.



8 GfK Spring Study is based on GfK MRI’s national Survey of the American Consumer, conducted since 1979, which surveys people 18 years of age and older in the contiguous 48 states. GfK MRI conducts more than 26,000 personal interviews with consumers in two waves (Fall and Spring) annually, each lasting six months and consisting of 13,000 interviews. Produced annually, the Spring Study consists of one full year of data drawn from two spring waves of survey respondents. Data is then combined with comScore, a source of Internet audience measurement for advertising agencies, publishers, marketers and financial analysts. ComScore measures Internet usage and other activity through monitoring software installed on the computers of a panel of approximately 2,000,000 people. Active in 170 countries, ComScore tracks more than three million unique websites to produce an unduplicated net reach of the designated audience.




32

CANADIAN ADVERTISING Based upon briefings by Debtors’ Counsel and Garlock employees involved in sales and marketing, it is our understanding the asbestos-containing products used in Canada were primarily manufactured in Canada, although some U.S.-produced products were shipped and distributed there. It is our further understanding that very few claims have been filed in the United States by Canadian claimants and that the Debtors maintain that remedies available to Canadian Asbestos Claimants preclude the filing of claims against the Debtors in Canada. Although the volume of claims that could be made by Canadian Asbestos Claimants would likely be minimal, Notice will be provided consistent with these understandings

SELECTION METHODOLOGY To develop a profile of the demographics of potential Canadian Asbestos Claimants, KM analyzed syndicated data available from the Spring 2014 2-Year Study9 available from the Print Measurement Bureau (“PMB”). PMB is Canada’s leading data provider of national measurements for media usage, audience composition and other relevant factors pertaining to major media vehicles. PMB presents a single-source measurement of over 119 publications, consumer exposure to media, and consumer usage of over 2,500 products, services and brands, in-depth consumer demographic and lifestyle characteristics as well as specific readership of print vehicles. As previously discussed, Men 65+ is the target audience. However, Canadian television is not measured for Men 65+ or Adults 65+. Therefore, the broader demographic of Men 50 years of age or older (“Men 50+”) is the primary demographic target and Adults 50 years of age or older (“Adults 50+”) is the secondary target.

The Canadian program includes television and newspapers.

TELEVISION The Notice Program calls for Notice to be aired throughout the day in different programs to reach the highest number of viewers. Television advertisements will be aired across channels and programs targeting Men 50+. A combination of broadcast (CBC, CTV, Global, SRC) and cable networks will be used. KM selected:

9 This study provides measurement of national consumer magazines and national newspapers.




33

➢ An estimated 195 TRPs to air over a three week time period, generating an estimated 12,319,200 gross impressions against Men 50+.

The selected media will generate an estimated 25,750,400 gross impressions against Adults 50+.

NEWSPAPERS

To provide supplemental national coverage, newspaper advertising will include ads in two national newspapers. The ads placed in the following newspapers will be equivalent in size to a standard quarter-page ad and will be placed on the highest circulation day.

KM selected the following national newspaper placements:

➢ A quarter-page ad (5.32” x 10.71”) one time in the National Post with an estimated circulation of 155,856.

➢ A quarter-page ad (4.86” x 10”) one time in The Globe and Mail with an estimated circulation of 380,971.

CANADIAN MEDIA DELIVERY The Paid Media Program as outlined above will deliver the following estimated reach and frequency:

➢ An estimated 71.5% of Men 50+ will be reached with an average estimated frequency of 2.8 times.

➢ An estimated 72% of Adults 50+ will be reached with an average estimated frequency of 2.8 times.




34

EARNED MEDIA PROGRAM

Earned media provides additional notice to Asbestos Claimants, amplifying the paid media program. Earned media, as opposed to paid media, occurs by disseminating a message about the Notice Program to the media without a guarantee that it will appear. KM and associated media firms under its direction will distribute the message to media outlets (newspapers, websites, and television and radio stations) to spark press interest and generate coverage. MULTIMEDIA NEWS RELEASE KM will distribute a U.S. national multimedia news release (MNR) blending text, audio, video, photos, related documents, and social media tools into an interactive web platform making the message visually appealing to increase engagement with the story across both traditional and social channels.

The MNR includes the following:

• Distribution to over 5,700 media points, more than 5,400 websites, databases and online services, and journalist-only portal.

• The television spot will be included to add a visual element to the press release making the story more appealing. Multimedia elements (e.g., audio, video, graphics) have shown to increase engagement with content by 77%.10

• A post to PR Newswire’s Social Post Twitter Network reaching over 40,000 followers.

• Built-in social media sharing functionality makes the content easily shared online.

CANADIAN PRESS RELEASE KM will distribute a national press release on PR Newswire’s Canadian circuit. The press release will highlight the toll-free telephone number and Notice Website address so that Asbestos Claimants can obtain complete information.

35

KEYWORD SEARCH ADVERTISING Search engines are among the most frequently used sites on the Internet. In order to help search engine users locate the informational website about this case – both those specifically looking for it and those looking for related topics – KM will purchase sponsored links to appear when searchers enter certain terms.

Keyword search advertising will run in the U.S. and Canada throughout the entire notice and voting period. Keyword search ads will appear on Bing, Google, and Yahoo! search engines. KM will contract with Google AdWords to place Google ads, and with Microsoft Ad Center to place Bing and Yahoo! ads. A list of keywords is below.

Asbestos bankruptcy Asbestos gaskets Asbestos gasket material Asbestos gasket sheet Asbestos gaskets claims Asbestos compression packing Asbestos expansion joint packing Asbestos packing claims Compressed asbestos gaskets Garlock asbestos bankruptcy Garlock asbestos gaskets Garlock bankruptcy Garlock gaskets Garlock gaskets asbestos claim Garlock asbestos packing Anchor asbestos bankruptcy Anchor bankruptcy Anchor asbestos packing

After KM contracts with the search engines for sponsored links of the selected keywords/phrases, a user entering an applicable keyword/phrase will see an ad either in the section above non-sponsored results or in the right-hand column under the Sponsored Sites/Results section.




36

OTHER PROGRAM COMPONENTS: NOTICE WEBSITE

An informational, interactive website is a critical component of the Notice Program. A website is a persistent source of information instantly accessible by millions. In this case, the site will capitalize on the Internet’s ability to distribute information and provide access to customer service.

In addition to the Chapter 11 website, a specific website designed exclusively for Asbestos Claimants will be established. In addition to the Solicitation Package, an Overview of the Disclosure Statement and the Plan of Reorganization (“Overview” attached as Exhibit H) will be available on the Notice Website. The Overview summarizes important information in an an easy to use question-and-answer format that will enable Asbestos Claimants to understand their legal rights, voting on the Plan, and how asbestos claims will be treated. The Notice Website will have a link to the Chapter 11 website. The Internet banner advertising and keyword search ads will help direct Asbestos Claimants to the Notice Website.




37

OTHER PROGRAM COMPONENTS: TOLL-FREE TELEPHONE SUPPORT

All advertising will direct the reader/viewer to call a toll-free telephone number in order to receive the Disclosure Statement and Approve Balloting and Voting Procedures Solicitation Package and obtain information and instructions regarding filing proofs of claim. In addition to the toll-free number, the print advertising will provide the address of the Claims Agent and the Notice Website address as alternative contact mechanisms.




38

NOTICE DESIGN: PUBLICATION NOTICE

The Publication Notice is written in plain language and is designed to alert Asbestos Claimants to the litigation by using a bold headline. This headline will enable Asbestos Claimants to quickly determine if they are potentially affected by the litigation. The content of the Summary Notice clearly stipulates types of claimants and claims using subheads, product descriptions, and simple language to avoid any confusion. Each advertisement will prominently feature a toll-free number and the Notice Website address for Asbestos Claimants to obtain more information in the form of the Notice Package.




39

NOTICE DESIGN: INTERNET BANNER ADS

KM will design Internet banner advertisements to Asbestos Claimants to the litigation by using a bold headline. The headline will enable Asbestos Claimants to quickly determine if they may be affected by the litigation.

➢ When users click on the banner advertisement, they will be connected to the Notice Website that contains complete information about their legal rights.

➢ KM will use flash banner advertisements.


EXHIBIT A


There is a bankruptcy involving claims about exposure to asbestos-containing gasket and packing products. Garlock Sealing Technologies LLC, The Anchor Packing Company, and Garrison Litigation Management Group, Ltd. (“Debtors”) have filed a plan of reorganization to restructure their business and pay claims.

The products (with names like Garlock, Blue-Gard, Gylon, and Flexseal) were used in places where steam, hot liquid or acids moved through pipes, including industrial and maritime settings.

Who is Affected by the Garlock Bankruptcy?Your rights may be affected if you:

• Worked with or around Garlock asbestos-containing gaskets or packing, or any other asbestos-containing product for which Debtors are responsible, or

• Have a claim now or in the future against the Debtors for asbestos-related disease caused by any person’s exposure to asbestos-containing products.

Even if you have not yet been diagnosed with any disease or experienced any symptoms, your rights may be affected. The Court has appointed a Future Claimants’ Representative (“FCR”) to represent the rights of these future claimants. Future claimants do not need to file a claim at this time.

What Does the Plan Provide?The Plan is the result of a settlement agreement between the FCR, the Debtors, and the Debtors’ parent company. The Plan proposes to use $357.5 million to pay, in full, all pending and future asbestos claims against Garlock and Garrison. If necessary, up to $132 million in additional funding will be provided. If the Plan is approved, you will no longer be able to file claims directly against the Debtors or affiliated companies. If you have claims only against Anchor, you are not expected

If You Worked Around Gaskets orPacking Containing Asbestos

The Garlock Bankruptcy May Affect Your Rights.

Certain Personal Injury Claims Must be Filed by Month 00, 2015

to recover anything, as that company has no assets and will be dissolved.

Who Must File a Personal Injury Claim?You must file a claim by Month, 00, 2015, if you:

• Have a claim against Garlock or Garrison based on an asbestos-related injury diagnosed on or before August 1, 2014,

• Have not settled with the Debtors, and• Filed a lawsuit against any other defendant or a

claim against any asbestos trust as of August 1, 2014.

If you do not file a claim, you may lose your right to bring your claim in the future. Individuals diagnosed with disease after August 1, 2014 do not have to file a claim at this time, but may be able to vote or object to the Plan.

Who Can Vote on or Object to the Plan?All identifiable asbestos claimants or their attorneys will receive the “Solicitation Package”. This includes the Plan, Voting Ballot, and other information. If you have not filed a claim yet, you can vote on the Plan by providing certified information about your claim, or making a motion to vote as described in the Solicitation Package available online or by calling the toll-free number.

You will need to vote on the Plan by 5pm ET on Month 00, 2015. The FCR will support and vote to accept the Plan on behalf of the future claimants. You may also object to the Plan and the adequacy of the FCR’s representation of future claimants by Month 00, 2015.

When will the Court Decide on the Plan? A hearing to consider confirmation of the Plan will begin at 10:00 a.m. ET on Month 00, 2015, at the US Bankruptcy Court, Western District of North Carolina, 401 West Trade Street, Charlotte, NC 28202.

Garlock Bankruptcy Overview of the Disclosure Statement and the Plan of

Reorganization There is a Chapter 11 bankruptcy case involving Garlock Sealing Technologies (“GST”) about the production of asbestos-containing gaskets and packing products used to prevent leaks in pipes and valves. In addition to GST, the Garrison Litigation Management Group, Ltd. (“Garrison”), and The Anchor Packing Company (“Anchor”) are also involved in the bankruptcy. Collectively, the three companies are known as the “Debtors.” They filed for bankruptcy as a result of asbestos-related claims against them.

• If you have an asbestos-related personal injury claim against the Debtors (or certain other kinds of claims), you may have an opportunity to vote on a plan that governs how claims will be funded and paid. This is called the Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”).

• If approved, the Plan will pay unresolved asbestos-related claims against GST or

Garrison from a Settlement Facility with $327.5 million and Litigation Fund with up to $162 million. It will also prohibit the filing of asbestos-related claims against GST or Garrison, and affiliated companies.

• GST Asbestos Claimants who have not yet been diagnosed with any disease or

experienced any symptoms are represented in the bankruptcy proceeding by the Court-appointed Future Claimants’ Representative (“FCR”), and will be treated like any other GST Asbestos Claimants.

• Certain GST Asbestos Claimants must file their personal injury claim by

Month Date, Year (see Questions 6 & 11).

GENERAL INFORMATION 1. What is this Bankruptcy Case about? GST is a manufacturing company that made gaskets and packing. GST’s asbestos litigation has principally involved two asbestos-containing sealing products: compressed asbestos sheet gaskets and asbestos packing. Anchor was a sealing products distributor, and subsidiary of GST that sold fluid sealing materials, including gaskets and packing. The products were used in places where steam, hot liquid, or acids moved through pipes, including in shipbuilding, oil refinery, chemical, paper and pulp, semi-conductor, power, and construction industries as well as in maritime/naval vessels. In 1994, Anchor stopped operations and GST transferred its equity interest (ownership interest) to Garrison. Garrison manages the defense and resolution of asbestos claims against GST and Anchor. Some of the gasket and packing products GST manufactured before 2001 contained asbestos bound in rubber or other encapsulating material. Although the Debtors deny that the asbestos in these products was a health hazard, for decades GST has received thousands of claims from individuals who claim asbestos-related disease caused in part by GST’s products. Given the number of pending claims, the Debtors have decided to resolve their responsibility for asbestos claims in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy. 2. What is a Disclosure Statement? You received this Disclosure Statement because it is a summary of information about the case. It contains more detailed information about GST’s history and significant events that have occurred and are expected to occur during this Chapter 11 bankruptcy. It also provides more detail about the Plan, what happens if the Plan is confirmed, and how claims will be resolved and payments will be made. In addition, this Disclosure


3

Statement discusses the confirmation process and the voting procedures that holders of claims and equity interests must follow for their votes to be counted. 3. What is Chapter 11? Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code permits a debtor (bankruptcy filer) to either reorganize or sell (liquidate) its business for the benefit of its creditors, interest holders, claimants, and other parties involved. The main objectives of Chapter 11 are to: 1) propose a plan of reorganization (to manage debt) or liquidation (selling off assets to pay debt), 2) have eligible claimants (claim holders) or investors vote to accept or reject the plan, and, 3) after the court approves the plan, carry out the plan.

THE PLAN 4. What is the purpose of the Plan? The primary purpose of the Plan is to resolve and pay asbestos-personal injury claims, non-asbestos claims, and equity interests. Under the Plan, a $327.5 million Settlement Facility will be established to pay current and future GST Asbestos Claims. A $30 million Litigation Fund, with backup funding of up to $132 million available over forty years, also will be established to cover the costs of resolving GST Asbestos Claims that are litigated rather than settled. As part of the Plan, GST and Garrison will be reorganized and continue in business. If approved, the Plan will pay asbestos-related claims against GST or Garrison from a Settlement Facility with $327.5 million and Litigation Fund with up to $162 million. GST, Garrison, and Coltec (the Debtors’ parent company) will fund the Settlement Facility and Litigation Fund. In exchange, the Court will enter an “injunction” (a ban) permanently prohibiting the filing of asbestos-related claims against GST, Garrison, and affiliated companies. The Plan classifies all affected people and entities by types of claims and interests (“Classes”). There are twelve Classes of claims and interests under the Plan. Some Classes will receive compensation while others will not. 5. How was the Plan developed? The Plan is the product of months of extensive negotiations between the Debtors and the Future Claimants’ Representative or FCR. The FCR is an independent lawyer who was appointed by the Bankruptcy Court to represent the interests of Future GST Asbestos Claimants. Future GST Asbestos Claimants are individuals who may have been exposed to Garlock products in the past but are not yet ill with an asbestos disease. The FCR engaged experienced legal counsel, financial advisors, and asbestos claims experts to represent and advise him in these cases. The Plan was formulated by the Debtors and the FCR in consultation with their respective counsel and experts.


4

The Plan provides for significant improvements for asbestos claimants as compared to an earlier plan of reorganization proposed by the Debtors that was not supported by the FCR. The claims payment procedures under the Plan are designed to pay valid current and future GST Asbestos Claimants fairly over time from increased funding provided by the Debtors following their negotiations with the FCR. 6. How will each Class be treated under the Plan? The chart below summarizes the Classes and how they are treated under the Plan. More detail is available in the Disclosure Statement. Classes 3, 4, 5, and 6 relate to GST Asbestos Claimants.

Class Vote on

Plan?

Estimated Amount of Claims Allowed

Class 1 – Priority Claims No $70,000 Class 2 – Secured Claims No $250,000 Class 3 – Settled GST Asbestos Claims Yes $3.1 - $16.4 million Class 4 – Current GST Asbestos Claims Yes TBD Class 5 – Future GST Asbestos Claims Yes TBD Class 6 – Pre-Petition Judgment GST Asbestos Claims Yes $0 - $3 million Class 7 – General Unsecured Claims Yes $3.75 million Class 8 – Anchor Claims No TBD Class 9 – Intercompany Claims No TBD Class 10 – GST Equity Interests Yes N/A Class 11 – Garrison Equity Interests Yes N/A Class 12 - Anchor Equity Interests No N/A

7. How does the Plan affect Asbestos Claimants? There are four principal Classes of asbestos-related claims:

• Settled GST Asbestos Claims (Class 3) • Current GST Asbestos Claims (Class 4) • Future GST Asbestos Claims (Class 5), and • Pre-Petition Judgment GST Asbestos Claims (Class 6).

In addition, some asbestos-personal injury claims are also in the Anchor Claims (Class 8). Settled GST Asbestos Claims – Class 3 September 30, 2014 was the “bar date" (or deadline) for filing claims with supporting documentation (proofs of claim) for Settled GST Asbestos Claims. Payment of allowed claims will take place on the date the Plan becomes effective or as soon thereafter as they are allowed.


5

• Allowed Settled GST Asbestos Claims are claims that are determined to be valid. These Claims will be paid in full.

• Settled GST Asbestos Claims that are invalid, and therefore disallowed, may be submitted: - To the Settlement Facility for evaluation and settlement, or - For claims allowance proceedings if the Litigation Option is selected as outlined below.

Current and Future GST Asbestos Claims – Classes 4 and 5 Current and Future GST Asbestos Claimants can choose one of two options:

(1) Settlement Option - Qualifying claimants will receive settlement offers based on predetermined, objective valuation criteria. (2) Litigation Option - Claimants may bring their claims in court under the Case Management Order (“CMO”) and, if successful, be paid in full.

GST Asbestos Claimants who choose the Settlement Option will be compensated by the Settlement Facility established by the Plan. Claims will be evaluated with individual compensation determined based on an agreed upon set of guidelines called the Claims Resolution Procedures (“CRP”). The CRP are provided in the Plan. Future GST Asbestos Claimants, those who have not yet been diagnosed with any disease or experienced any symptoms, are represented by the Court-appointed Future Claimants’ Representative, and will be treated like any other GST Asbestos Claimants. Pre-Petition Judgment GST Asbestos Claims - Class 6 Pre-Petition Judgment GST Asbestos Claimants filed their Claims prior to the bankruptcy filing and received judgments (rulings) that are currently on appeal either by GST or the claimant. These claimants can choose one of the following options:

• Settlement Option – Receive settlement payments based on predetermined, objective criteria.

• Litigation Option – Continue the pending appeals of their judgments in court and, if successful, be paid in full. Or, if the judgment is reversed on appeal and returned for a new trial, litigate their claims under the CMO.

Any Pre-Petition Judgment GST Asbestos Claimant who chooses the Settlement Option will be treated like any other GST Asbestos Claimant. Anchor Claims – Class 8 Anchor will assume responsibility for Anchor Claims, but Anchor has no property and will be dissolved and liquidated and no claims will be paid.

Overview of Asbestos-related Classes and Options

Class Options Handled by Class 4 – Current Class 5 – Future Class 6 – Pre-Petition Judgment

Settlement Expedited Review – up to $200,000

Individual Review – up to $2.5 million or

Settlement Facility $327.5 million

Litigation Court – approved procedures

Litigation Fund

Class 3 – Settled

Allowed Claims - Paid in full

Reorganized GST

Disallowed Claims - Choose Settlement or Litigation Option

Settlement Facility or Litigation Fund

Class 8 – Anchor Claims No options N/A Claimants who choose the Litigation Option will be able to reverse that choice and select the Settlement Option at any time. However, the settlement offers under the CRP, will be reduced by the defense costs incurred by Reorganized Garrison during the litigation phase. 8. How are Asbestos Claims funded under the Plan? The Settlement Facility will be funded as follows:

Settlement Facility Contribution GST and Garrison $297,500,000 Parent Settlement $30,000,000 Total Amount: $327,500,000

In addition, Garlock and Garrison will contribute $30 million to the Litigation Fund after the Plan is approved to fund the costs of defending and paying asbestos claims under the Litigation Option. If the initial contribution to the Litigation Fund is depleted faster than projected, additional funding of up to $132 million will be available over forty years.

The Debtors have reserved the right to object to the allowance of any claim that elects the Litigation Option.

The Reorganized Debtors will pay allowed Settled GST Asbestos Claims (Class 3) from funds independent of the Settlement Facility.

9. What is the claims process?

Settlement Option GST Asbestos Claimants must file a Claim Form with the Settlement Facility following the terms of the CRP with all necessary supporting documentation. Claimants will have the option of choosing Expedited Review or Individual Review.


7

• Expedited Review requires submission of less information than Individual

Review and for most claimants will result in higher settlement offers. • Individual Review requires submission of more information but could produce

higher payments for certain claimants. All claimants who choose the Settlement Option will have a $250 filing fee, which will be refunded if the claim is paid. Litigation Option GST Asbestos Claimants must file a Proof of Claim Form with the Bankruptcy Court. Or, if the Claimant already filed a Proof of Claim in response to the Asbestos Claims Bar Date, the Claimant must file a Notice of Election of Litigation Option. Reorganized Garrison will object to the claim and the litigation process will proceed under the CMO. Litigation Option Claimants can only file a claim against the Litigation Fund. Claims cannot be filed against Reorganized GST or the Settlement Facility. 10. What is my remedy if my claim is denied or I disagree with the amount of my payment? Any GST Asbestos Claimant who elects the Settlement Option and does not receive a settlement offer under the CRP or is dissatisfied with such offer may cancel such election and elect the Litigation Option. 11. How and when will payment amounts be calculated? If the Bankruptcy Court approves the Plan, payment amounts will be calculated by the Settlement Facility using the guidelines and processes outlined in the CRP. Claimants who elect the Litigation Option will have their claims allowed or disallowed under the CMO. To assist GST Asbestos Claimants in deciding whether to elect the Settlement Option or Litigation Option, the Settlement Facility’s website shall include a calculator tool. GST Asbestos Claimants may use the tool to estimate and compare the payment amounts offered under the Expedited Review and Individual Review. That calculator is available at www.xxxxx.com and can be used now to estimate your likely settlement offer under the CRP if the Plan is approved. 12. Is there a date by which GST Asbestos Claimants must file a Claim? The Bankruptcy Court has set Month Day, Year as the Asbestos Claims Bar Date for any GST Asbestos Claimant who:

• Has a claim against Garlock or Garrison based on an asbestos-related injury diagnosed on or before August 1, 2014,

• Has not settled with the Debtors, and


8

• Filed a lawsuit against any other defendant or a claim against any asbestos trust as of August 1, 2014.

Claimants with Class 6 Pre-Petition Judgment GST Asbestos Claims must also file their claims by the Bar Date. GST Asbestos Claimants diagnosed with disease after August 1, 2014 do not have to file a claim at this time, but can vote on the Plan. These GST Asbestos Claimants must file a claim by 4:00 p.m. on Month, Day Year. If you do not file a Claim, you may lose your right to bring your claim in the future.

THE VOTING PROCESS 13. Who can vote? The Debtors believe that all Classes of claims are “unimpaired.” This means that all Classes of claims are assumed to approve the Plan because the holders of the claims, if allowed, will be paid in full under the Plan, CRP, and CMO. However, certain Classes may receive a ballot to vote in case the Court determines that their claims may be impaired (not paid in full) or that their votes are necessary to confirm the Plan. The Confirmation Procedures Order available at www.xxxxx.com provides more information on voting rights. 14. How will the voting process work? To be counted, your signed ballot indicating your acceptance or rejection of the Plan must be received by XXXX, the appointed voting agent, no later than Month 00, Year. Ballots should be sent by mail or overnight delivery to: XXXX Address City, ST 00000 The Confirmation Procedures Order available at www.xxxxx.com provides more information on the voting process. 15. What happens if I send more than one vote for the same claim or I don’t file a ballot on time? If you send more than one vote for the same claim, the last ballot received will be the vote that is counted. Any ballot not filed on time will not be counted. 16. What if I don’t like the Plan, can I object to it?


9

If you object to the Plan, you must file your objection by mail or courier on or before Month Day, Year. Your objection must be filed on time and follow the guidelines in the attached Disclosure Statement on page X or it may not be considered by the bankruptcy court. The Disclosure Statement has more details on how to object to the Plan.

THE CONFIRMATION HEARING

17. When and where will the Bankruptcy Court decide whether to approve the Plan? The Bankruptcy Court will hold a confirmation hearing at XX:XX x.m. eastern time on Month Day, Year at the United States Bankruptcy Court, Room XXX, 401 West Trade Street, Charlotte, NC. The Honorable J. Craig Whitley, United States Bankruptcy Judge, will oversee the hearing. The Court may adjourn the hearing from time to time without notice except for an announcement of the adjourned date at the hearing or any adjournment of the hearing.
