"I'm happy to confirm the plan," said Judge Sean Lane of the US Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan. "This has been a fascinating case for me."
Under the plan of reorganisation, Arcapita will repay its only secured creditor, Standard Chartered Plc, in full. Arcapita will transfer its assets to a new holding company which will dispose of its investments over time, in an attempt to avoid a firesale liquidation."
