Del Monte plan goes effective
Del Monte’s confirmed Chapter 11 plan became effective at 12:01 a.m. Eastern on June 13, moving the case from confirmation into implementation and wind-down. The debtors’ notice says Judge Michael B. Kaplan entered the confirmation order on May 22 approving the First Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan with technical modifications, and that the plan is now binding on the debtors, wind-down debtors, and holders of claims and interests regardless of voting posture Notice of Plan Confirmation and Effective Date.
The notice also starts post-effective-date cleanup deadlines, including a July 27, 2026 professional fee application deadline and bar dates for claims arising from rejected executory contracts and unexpired leases. For professionals tracking recoveries, retained claims, and wind-down economics, the key change is that plan consummation is no longer conditional; attention now shifts to distributions, fee claims, rejection damages, and any residual disputes under the confirmed plan.
