Business reorganizations (Chapter 11)
When a debtor business entity realizes that it will become insolvent or will be unable to pay its debts as they mature, it can petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The debtor business normally is permitted to continue its operations under court supervision until some plan of reorganization is approved by two-thirds of the creditors. If the business is insolvent at the time a petition for reorganization is filed, a majority of the shareholders must also approve the plan. If agreement cannot be reached, then the court will supervise liquidation proceedings for the business as in any other situation of bankruptcy.
