According to the petition, the case was filed in support of insolvency proceedings before the Antwerp Commercial Court, The Public Prosecution v. F.T.K. Worldwide Mfg BVBA, Case No. A/17/08211. The Debtor’s foreign representatives, Frans De Roy and Benny Goossens, were appointed as permanent trustees for the Debtor on December 21, 2017, and are also serving as foreign representatives for affiliate Exelco NV (Case No. 17-12409 (KG)), currently pending before the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The Debtor has filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court to recognize the Antwerp proceedings as a foreign main proceeding. Additional information about the debtor can be found in the declaration filed in support of the chapter 15 case. The case has not yet been assigned to a judge.
