The U.S. Trustee filed a first amended notice of appointment for the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, removing Olympus Imaging America Inc. after its resignation became effective October 1. The amended committee consists of GGP Limited Partnership, Simon Property Group, Inc., Nikon Inc., Fuji Film North America, Lucidiam, Inc., and Almo Fulfillment Services West, LLC, with no replacement member added in the amendment, according to the First Amended Committee Appointment Notice.

The change matters because committee composition determines who speaks for unsecured creditors as the case moves through sale and distribution issues. Losing Olympus leaves a six-member committee weighted toward landlords and imaging-industry trade creditors, which can affect negotiating priorities around claims treatment, cure disputes, and any post-sale recovery allocation.
