Section 8 – Other Events

Item 8.01
Other Events.
 
On September 15, 2009, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky confirmed the Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) for Quest Minerals & Mining Corp.’s wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary, Gwenco, Inc.  (All defined terms shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.)  The Court entered the Order confirming the Plan on September 30, 2009.  Secured and non-priority unsecured classes of creditors voted to approve the plan, with over 80% of the unsecured claims in dollar amount voting for the plan, and over 90% of responding lessors supporting it.  The Plan will become effective when the Confirmation Order becomes a Final Order.
 
There are  5 classes of Claims under the Plan:  (i)  Class 1—The Interstellar Duke claim, in the aggregate amount of approximately $998,470 (with interest accruing thereon); (ii) Class 2—Priority Claims, consisting of an IRS claim in the amount of $20,000; (iii) Class 3—General Unsecured Claims, in the aggregate amount of approximately $1,394,876; (iv) Class 4-Subordinated Claims, consisting of claims of affiliates of the debtor totaling $2,750,000 and (v) Class 5—Equity Holder Interest.

The Class 1 Claim will be satisfied by the issuance to Interstellar Holdings, LLC of a 5 year secured convertible promissory note, which note is convertible into stock of Quest Minerals & Mining Corp., at a rate of the lower of (i) $0.01 per share and (ii) 40% of the average of the three lowest per shares market values of Quest during the 10 trading days before a conversion, provided that Interstellar shall be prohibited from converting if such conversion would result in it holding more than 4.99% of the outstanding common stock of Quest Minerals & Mining Corp.

The Class 2 Claims are to be paid in full on the Effective Date of the Plan, unless the Holder of a Class 2 Claim has agreed to different treatment under the Plan.

The Class 3 Claims will be satisfied by cash payments equal to the value of their claim on the earlier of (i) the 60 th month after the effective date of the Plan or (ii) the date on which, in Gwenco’s sole discretion, proceeds from the exit facility are sufficient to satisfy the claims.  Further, Class 3 Claimholders shall receive their pro-rata share of royalty payments to reduce their claims beginning in the month following the Effective Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain creditors in this Class negotiated settlements as more specifically set forth in the Plan and in certain settlement agreements approved by the Court.

The Class 4 Claims will be paid after holders of all allowed claims in other classes have been paid in full.  The Class 5 Claims were deemed unimpaired.

Gwenco, as a reorganized debtor, will operate its coal mining business and will use current and future income from operations to meet current and future expenses and to make payments called for under the Plan.  In addition, the Court approved an exit facility under which Interstellar Holdings LLC will provide up to $2 million in financing to Gwenco.
