INFORMATION FOR PFG COMMODITY CUSTOMERS WITH FOREIGN CURRENCY BALANCES AS OF THE PETITION DATE:
On May 8, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Order Granting Trustee's Motion to Approve Procedures for Valuing Commodity Customer Claims Related to Conversions of Foreign Currencies ("Foreign Currency Order"). The Foreign Currency Order approves the procedure by which the Trustee will value commodity customer claims that require conversion of foreign currencies to US Dollars. As approved by the Bankruptcy Court, the Trustee is authorized to use a weighted average of all conversion prices for each foreign currency in valuing the "net equity" claims of commodity customers holding balances denominated in foreign currencies as of July 10, 2012 (i.e., the bankruptcy petition date). The weighted average conversion rate for each foreign currency is set forth in the Foreign Currency Order. Please note that the July 2012 commodity customer statements reflect foreign currency rates as of July 31, 2012. The July 31, 2012 exchange rates may not reflect the actual rates used to convert the foreign currencies to US Dollars since the foreign currencies were liquidated in July and September 2012 and March 2013. A copy of the Foreign Currency Order is available here.
The Amended Schedule F was filed on January 18, 2013. A copy of Amended Schedule F is available here. The Bar Date was extended for the affected creditors to March 15, 2013. A copy of the Order is available here.
Beginning on October 19, 2012, former customers of Peregrine Financial Group (PFG) may obtain information regarding the availability of their funds which the PFG Trustee will distribute to Vision Financial Markets (Vision) by visiting Vision’s Web site at www.VisionFinancialMarkets.com.
