NEW YORK, April 13, 2026 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The following statement is being issued by Kroll Restructuring Administration and Raymond Chabot Inc. regarding the Asbestos Corporation Limited insolvency proceedings.
BACKGROUND
On May 6, 2025, Asbestos Corporation Limited (“ACL“), a Canadian-based company that formerly operated asbestos mines, filed for protection in the Superior Court of Québec, Canada under Canada’s Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (the “Canadian Insolvency Proceeding“) and a case under chapter 15 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. Chapter 15 allows U.S. Bankruptcy courts to provide support and assistance for insolvency proceedings taking place in other countries. If you think you may have a claim resulting from exposure to asbestos mined by ACL or another claim against ACL, this notice is intended to inform you of the upcoming deadline to file this claim in the Canadian Insolvency Proceeding in order to preserve your rights regarding such claim.
Raymond Chabot Inc. was appointed to act as court-appointed monitor in the Canadian Insolvency Proceeding (the “Monitor“).

This insolvency (“bankruptcy”) affects you if you have a claim against ACL or General Dynamics Corporation or its affiliates and any successors, and/or any of their respective predecessors, current or former employees, directors, officers, agents, representatives, assigns, or any of their respective insurers as a result of asbestos mined by ACL.
WHAT IS A CLAIM AND WHO CAN FILE?
A “claim” means a right to seek payment or other compensation.
