prepackaged bankruptcy

prepackaged bankruptcy
USA
An agreement among creditors and stockholders reached before a bankruptcy filing that governs key elements of the bankruptcy plan, rejections and acceptances. The plan and a disclosure statement are usually filed when a Chapter 11 case commences. Prepackaged plans can help simplify the bankruptcy process and minimize periods of business disruption. However, a risk remains that creditors opposing the plan will take action against the debtor while the plan is being negotiated and no automatic stay limitations apply.
