(b) Ballots to be Returned to Plan Proponent. Completed ballots must be returned to the plan proponent or its agent, not the court.

(c) Ballot Report. Not later than 14 days before the confirmation hearing, the plan proponent must file a ballot tabulation report that:

(1) shows the percentages of acceptances and rejections for each impaired class, in number and dollar amount;

(2) identifies any unimpaired classes with an explanation why such classes are unimpaired under § 1124;

(3) identifies any ballots received after the voting deadline set by the court and whether such ballots are included in the tabulation; and

(4) attaches all ballots as exhibits (unless there are an unusually large number of ballots).
