Think You've Been Harmed by Products Containing Talc? Your Rights May Be Affected and Your Injury Claims May Be Eliminated. Your Vote Will Help Determine How Injury Claims are Treated
NEW YORK, Feb. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

Submit Your Vote by March 25, 2021. 

The following statement is being issued by Prime Clerk LLC regarding the Imerys 
Chapter 11.

If you have a Talc Personal Injury Claim, your rights are affected by an 
upcoming vote on a plan of reorganization (the "Plan") as part of the chapter 
11 proceedings of Imerys Talc America, Inc.,  Imerys Talc Vermont, Inc. and 
Imerys Talc Canada Inc. (collectively, the "North American Debtors"). Imerys 
Talc Italy S.p.A ("ITI") may also file (but has not yet filed) a chapter 11 
case in the United States. "Debtors" means the North American Debtors and, if 
it files a chapter 11 case before the Plan is confirmed, ITI. Capitalized terms 
used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the 
Plan, which is available at ITArestructuring.com ( 
https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3075143-1&h=4088142309&u=http%3A%2F%2Fitarestructuring.com%2F&a=ITArestructuring.com 
) (the "Case Website").

The Debtors filed a Disclosure Statement (available at the Case Website) 
containing information that will help you decide how to vote on the Plan, which 
proposes to set up a trust to resolve all Talc Personal Injury Claims. Your 
legal rights will be affected if the Plan is approved.

Only holders of "Talc Personal Injury Claims," or their attorneys on their 
behalf, are entitled to receive a ballot to vote on the Plan.

Holders of Claims and Equity Interests in all other Classes under the Plan are 
presumed to accept the Plan, because they are either Unimpaired by the Plan or 
are Plan Proponents.

If you have a Talc Personal Injury Claim, you or your attorney on your behalf, 
as permitted by the Voting Procedures, have the right to vote on the Plan. The 
deadline by which ballots must be received by the Debtors' solicitation agent, 
Prime Clerk LLC ("Prime Clerk") is March 25, 2021 at 4:00 p.m. ET. If you are 
unsure whether your attorney is authorized to vote on your behalf, please 
contact your attorney. Both the Tort Claimants' Committee and the 
representative of future talc claimants support the Plan.

If the Plan is approved by the Bankruptcy Court and the District Court, all 
Talc Personal Injury Claims will be channeled to the Talc Personal Injury Trust 
and resolved pursuant to the Trust Distribution Procedures. If you are the 
holder of (a) a Talc Personal Injury Claim and you vote to accept the Plan, (b) 
a Claim that is presumed to accept the Plan, (c) a Talc Personal Injury Claim 
and you vote against the Plan and do not opt out of the releases, or (d) a Talc 
Personal Injury Claim entitled to vote for or against the Plan and you do not 
vote for or against the Plan and do not opt out of the releases provided in the 
Plan (subject to certain limitations described in the Plan), you will be 
presumed to grant the "Releases by Holders of Claims" set forth in Article XII 
of the Plan. Please read the Plan and other Plan Documents carefully for 
details about how the Plan, if approved, will affect your rights.

You have the right to object to the Plan. The deadline to file an objection is 
May 28, 2021 at 4:00 p.m. ET. There are requirements that must be followed to 
file an objection, which are set forth in the Voting Procedures Order. 
Objections received after the deadline may not be considered by the Bankruptcy 
Court and may be deemed overruled without further notice. You can obtain 
additional information or instructions, review the Plan Documents, or obtain a 
solicitation package with a ballot to vote, by contacting Prime Clerk.
