So the question I have is "What > sort of protection?". Are they seeking respite from their creditors Yes, they filed from protection from their creditors. Agfa-Geveart have agreed to free up some cash to keep things going during a reorganisation for at least the next 3 months. The head of NannO Beteiligungsholding (51% of AgfaPhoto), Hartmut Emans, is now locked out of the offices and the DA are investigating allegations of "missing" funds. > with an eye towards reorganizing and reopening _ala_ Illford and > Forte, or have they just thrown in the towel and plan to liquidate? Yes. Some parts of the company will probably be spun-off to generate some revenues. I suspect they are (despite the headline stories) still in a better situation than Ilford to survive in the market.. -- -- Edward C.
