Reorganized Auto Parts Manufacturer Registers Securities for Reoffer

Michigan-based Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy on May 27 through a series of transactions contemplated by the Plan of Reorganization, including a private placement to certain creditors.  The Form S-1 filed by Cooper-Standard on July 26 (file no. 333-168316) was filed in connection with a registration rights agreement that was filed as an exhibit to the Form 8-K filed on June 3. 

Under the reorganization, prepetition noteholders were permitted to participate in a common stock rights offering conducted during the solicitation of votes to accept or reject the Plan.  Additional common shares as well as 7% cumulative participating convertible preferred shares were issued to certain creditors pursuant to a commitment agreement that provided for the backstop of the rights offering.

The Chapter 11 Plan of reorganization was filed as an exhibit to the Form 8-K filed by Cooper-Standard on May 24, and the Commitment Agreement with the backstop creditors was filed as Exhibit 10.49 to the Form 10-K for FY09 filed on 3/31/10 (file no. 333-123708).
