DISTRIBUTIONS TO CREDITORS

On 1 October 2024, the Liquidator declared and paid a first and final distribution to unsecured creditors of certain of the Thomas Cook UK liquidation entities.

Details of the entities with funds available to make a distribution and the outcome in respect of each entity can be found at www.gov.uk/Thomas Cook.

For any other Thomas Cook UK liquidation companies who have NOT declared a dividend, this means that they have no funds available for distribution to their unsecured creditors.

Creditors with accepted claims against the relevant entities will be contacted after 1 October 2024 advising them of the payment of the distribution.

Details of the calculation of the funds available for distribution are available on the Notices of Declaration of a Dividend page, and can also be found at www.gov.uk/Thomas Cook.

Payment in respect of agreed claims has been made using either direct bank transfer or cheque, as nominated by the creditor.

Where payment is made by cheque, it should be banked within 6 months of the date of the cheque.

No further distributions will be made in respect of any of the Thomas Cook UK liquidation companies and steps will be taken to conclude the winding up of the Thomas Cook UK liquidation companies in due course.

No further communications will be issued to creditors. The Claims Site, which can be found at www.thomascookukliquidations.com, will remain available for 12 weeks following the payment of the distribution.
