This CLE course will analyze the benefits and risks of prepackaged or prenegotiated plans for a Chapter 11 reorganization. The program will discuss the complex issues that debtors and creditors face in negotiating the plan, such as restructuring support agreements, valuation, exit financing, and credit bidding, and strategies for all parties and constituents.

Description

Prepacks can be significantly more efficient than filing a typical Chapter 11 case and negotiating a plan after filing. Debtors must carefully prepare and execute prepack strategies to achieve the desired time and cost savings without violating the Bankruptcy Code provisions concerning vote solicitation.

Like pre-packs, prenegotiated restructuring plans minimize the duration and expense of Chapter 11 cases. Prenegotiated plans might be a viable alternative if the prepack option is not achievable for the debtor.

Debtors and creditors often enter into restructuring support agreements or "lock-up" agreements regarding the plan. These agreements are the road map for the debtor's plan to exit Chapter 11 and are often contentiously negotiated.

Listen as our authoritative panel of restructuring attorneys delves into the benefits and risks for both debtors and creditors of prepackaged and prenegotiated plans to accomplish a Chapter 11 reorganization. The panel will offer strategies for all constituents in negotiating these plans. The panel will focus on issues currently heavily contested in today's environment, including restructuring support agreements, valuation, and credit bidding.
