On October 27, 2008, Brooke Corporation (NASDAQ: BXXX) and Brooke Capital Corporation (AMEX: BCP) filed petitions for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. This matter, "In RE Brooke Corporation and Brooke Capital Corporation" file numbers 08-22786 (lead) and 08-22789. These petitions were filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Kansas City, Kansas. Joint administration for the two companies was approved by the court on October 28, 2008 and Albert Riederer was appointed as bankruptcy trustee for the jointly-administered estate.
