Plan of Reorganization

Standard Plan Contents

Classification of claims and interests into classes; treatment of each class (payment terms, equity treatment, releases); means for implementation (DIP financing, asset sales, new equity raises); executory contracts and unexpired leases (assumed, assumed and assigned, or rejected); discharge and release provisions; corporate governance and post-emergence operations; effective date and conditions precedent.

Creditor Voting on the Plan

Impaired classes (whose treatment is modified by the plan) vote on the plan. A class accepts if at least two-thirds in dollar amount and more than one-half in number of voting class members vote in favor. Unimpaired classes are deemed to accept (they are not entitled to vote because their treatment is unchanged). Impaired classes that vote against the plan trigger cramdown analysis at confirmation.

Confirmation Requirements

Court must find: plan complies with all applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code; plan is feasible (the debtor will be able to perform); plan is in the best interests of creditors (each non-accepting creditor receives at least as much as it would in Chapter 7 liquidation); cramdown requirements met for any dissenting impaired classes; releases and exculpations are appropriate. Confirmation is a substantive proceeding, not a rubber-stamp.

What is a plan of reorganization?

The proposed restructuring blueprint filed by a Chapter 11 debtor describing how debts will be restructured, how creditors will be paid, and how the debtor will continue operations post-bankruptcy. Subject to creditor vote and court confirmation.

Who can file a plan of reorganization?

The debtor has exclusive right to file for 120 days after the petition date (often extended by court). After exclusivity expires, any party in interest can file a competing plan — common in contentious commercial real estate cases where senior lenders file plans they prefer over the debtor's.

How do creditors vote on a plan?

Impaired classes vote. A class accepts if at least two-thirds in dollar amount and more than one-half in number of voting class members vote in favor. Unimpaired classes are deemed to accept. Impaired classes that vote against trigger cramdown analysis at confirmation.

What is a feasibility finding for plan confirmation?

The bankruptcy court must find that the plan is feasible — meaning the reorganized debtor will be able to perform the plan obligations and is not likely to require further restructuring within the foreseeable future. Feasibility is a substantive finding based on financial projections, market conditions, and operational capability.
