Sino-Forest creditors to take control; sale shelved Jul 10th 2012, 23:38 TORONTO, July 10 | Tue Jul 10, 2012 7:38pm EDT TORONTO, July 10 (Reuters) - Sino-Forest Corp said on Tuesday it terminated a proposed asset sale, in favor of a plan that calls for the company's creditors acquire all of its forestry assets. The China-focused forestry company's shares plummeted in June 2011 after a short-seller accused it of exaggerating the size of its forestry assets. The company, whose stock has since been de-listed by the Toronto Stock Exchange, was granted protection from creditors by a Canadian court in March. At the time, the company said it would attempt to sell its assets. In the event a credible buyer did not emerge, however, the company's restructuring plan would let noteholders acquire nearly all of its assets. In a statement late on Tuesday, Sino-Forest said it would transfer all its assets, other than certain excluded assets, to a newly formed entity owned and controlled by its creditors, as part of a full and final settlement of all creditor claims against the company.
