This may be more technical than most of our readers require, but the recent law changes to proposals and voting work like this.
In order for the yes and no votes to be counted in a proposal, creditors must also request a meeting. If 25% of the proven claims do request a meeting then all of the creditors can vote no and it won’t matter (because the votes will never be counted).
