Subject: Subject Reference: TCC Meeting Schedule & Latest Updates

FEBRUARY 14, 2003 -- UPDATE REGARDING APPEALS:Today, the Sixth Circuit issued an order granting the motion to consolidate and expedite the appeals that was filed by the Plan Proponents and objectors. The next step is for the appeals court to establish a briefing schedule. We will post any updates regarding this on the TCC's website. UPDATE JANUARY 23, 2000STATUS OF APPEALSTwo appeals were filed to Judge Hood's December 11, 2002 Order approving the settlement plan. The appeals were filed on behalf of 1) certain Nevada claimants, and 2) certain Austrailan claimants. The sole issue on appeal is whether the release of third party non-debtors (i.e., such as shareholders and insurers of the debtor Dow Corning) is legally valid. The Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit has not set a schedule for when the appeals will be heard. The TCC and Dow Corning are filing a motion requesting that the court expedite the appeals. If granted, this could mean a quicker, perhaps final decision in the bankruptcy case. Once there is a final decision, claims can be paid. THE SETTLEMENT FACILITY'S CLAIMS ASSISTANCE PROGRAM ANNOUNCES MEETINGS FOR CLAIMANTS The Claims Assistance Program in the Settlement Facility has announced a series of claimant meetings beginning in late February and continuing through March 2003. A complete list of the meetings is posted below. The meetings are intended to provide information and assistance to all claimants on the terms of the settlement, how to complete the claim forms and apply for settlement benefits, and what will happen when you submit your forms. Meet the new Claims Administrator, "" Trachte-Huber, and other representatives of the Settlement Facility and representatives of the Tort Claimants' Committee.
