Lawyers for the publisher told a Delaware bankruptcy judge weeks ago that JPMorgan Chase and distressed-debt specialist Angelo, Gordon & Co. had dropped out a settlement agreement, which would have left them among the company's new owners, Philly.com reported.

The four board members include Board Chairman Mark Shapiro, Jeffrey S. Berg, Maggie Wilderotter and Frank Wood, according to the Associated Press article posted on Google News.

 

Based on a court filing Tuesday, the committee will review and approve a bankruptcy plan and resolve legal claims against Tribune, including claims stemming from its leverage buyout.
