Lehman Brothers will now pay its creditors $60.1 billion and may also file a new plan to disperse its assets, The Wall Street Journal reports. The bank has increased creditors’ expected net recovery by $2.6 billion from the $57.5 billion it estimated in September 2010.

Lehman may have $322 billion in allowed claims against the estate, with $272 billion from the parent company and about $50 billion from its various subsidiaries as per the new plan. The previous plan allowed claims against a particular debtor to be paid from the assets of that debtor, with recoveries for unsecured creditors ranging from about 10 cents on the dollar to 44 cents.
