Bankruptcy or Receivership, Financial Statements and Exhibits


Item 1.03 Bankruptcy or Receivership

On December 30, 2008 (the "Petition Date"), Constar International Inc. ("Constar") and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the "Debtors")1filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court"). The Bankruptcy Court is jointly administering these cases as "In re Constar International Inc., et al., Case No. 08-13432 (PJW)." Since the Petition Date, the Debtors have continued to operate their businesses and manage their properties as debtors in possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. As contemplated by the Bankruptcy Code, on January 5, 2009, the United States Trustee for the District of Delaware appointed an official committee of unsecured creditors.

On February 3, 2009, by an Order (A) Approving Adequacy of the Disclosure Statement; (B) Establishing Procedures for Solicitation and Tabulation of Votes to Accept or Reject the [Second] Amended Plan; (C) Fixing the Administrative Expense Bar Date; (D) Fixing a Record Date for Distribution; and (E) Fixing Date, Time and Place for Confirmation Hearing [Docket No. 169], the Bankruptcy Court approved the adequacy of the information provided in the Disclosure Statement for Debtors' Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the "Disclosure Statement").

On May 14, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the "Confirmation Order") [Docket No. 462] approving and confirming the Debtors' Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization, as Further Modified, Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (as confirmed, the "Plan"). The effective date of the Plan is anticipated to be on or about May 29, 2009 (the "Effective Date"). However, the Debtors can make no assurance as to when, or ultimately if, the Plan will become effective. It is also possible that additional technical amendments could be made to the Plan prior to effectiveness. A copy of the Plan, as confirmed, and the Confirmation Order are attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to this Report, respectively, and each is incorporated herein by reference.

The following is a summary of the material terms of the Plan. This summary highlights only certain provisions of the Plan and is not a complete description of the Plan. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Plan.

A. Plan of Reorganization

The Plan permits the Debtors to continue their businesses as a going concern. The purpose of the Plan is to provide the Debtors with a capital structure that can be supported by cash flows from operations.

1 In addition to Constar, the Debtors consist of: Constar, Inc., Constar Foreign Holdings, Inc., Constar International U.K. Limited, BFF, Inc. and DT, Inc.

The following table summarizes the treatment of DIP Facility Claims, Administrative Claims and Priority Tax Claims under the Plan. The chart is not a complete description of any unclassified Claims. For a more detailed discussion of the treatment of the unclassified Claims against the Debtors, see Article II of the Plan.
