On June 22, 2015, Midway Gold Corp., a British Columbia corporation (the “
Registrant
”), and certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates, including, MDW Pan LLP, Midway Gold US Inc., MDW Pan Holding Corp., MDW-GR Holding Corp., MDW Mine ULC, GEH (BC) Holding Inc., GEH (US) Holding Inc., Midway Services Company, MDW Gold Rock LLP, RR Exploration LLC, Nevada Talon LLC, Midway Gold Realty LLC and Golden Eagle Holding Inc. (collectively, the “
Subsidiaries
” and together with the Registrant, the “
Debtors
”), filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “
Bankruptcy Code
”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado (the “
Bankruptcy Court
”, and the filings therein, the “
Chapter 11 Filings
”). The Debtors sought Bankruptcy Court authorization to administer the chapter 11 cases (the “
Chapter 11 Cases
”) under the caption “
In re Midway Gold US Inc., et al
.” Case No. 15-16835MER. The Registrant, MDW Mine ULC and GEH (BC) Holding Inc., each incorporated in British Columbia, are Debtors in the Chapter 11 Cases. In addition, Midway Gold US Inc., in its capacity as the Foreign Representative, obtained ancillary relief in Canada on behalf of all Debtors, pursuant to the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) R.S.C. 1985, c. C-36, as amended (the “
CCAA
”) in the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the “
Canadian Court
”) in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, to recognize the Chapter 11 Cases as “foreign main proceedings” under the applicable provisions of the CCAA.
On November 15, 2017, the Bankruptcy Court entered the
Order Confirming Debtors’ Revised Second Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation

Confirmation Order
”), attached as Exhibit 99.1, confirming Debtors

.” Case No. 15-16835MER.
The Plan of Liquidation, among other things: (i) divides claims and equity interests into separate classes; (ii) specifies the property that each class is to receive, if any, under the Plan of Liquidation on account of allowed claims and interests; and (iii) contains other provisions necessary to implement the Plan of Liquidation.
