What Corporate bankruptcy Entails

Author: Peter Gitundu

When a public company goes bankrupt, the federal bankruptcy rules govern how it will come out of this financial situation. In this case, the Organization can file a petition under chapter 11 or under chapter 7 depending on the agreement the court will make with the management. Under chapter 11, a company that files for corporate bankruptcy will need to reorganize the business with the aim of becoming profitable again. The management will run all the day-to-day activities of the company but all major financial decisions will be made by the bankruptcy court.

Under chapter 7, or the liquidation chapter, the debtor will be required to sell all the property as a way of paying off the debts accumulated by the debtors. Depending on what type of a company it is, the company may retain their personal property. It if it a limited company, there are rules to protect the personal assets of the individuals involved.

Under the corporate financial distress the stockholders could loose more in case the company went down. Bonds are the debt that the company has promised to pay whereas stock is the unit of ownership that an individual has in a particular company. When the company is doing well the stockholders laugh all the way to the bank but when things are bad and the company is going down, the bondholders will have their turn to laugh all the way to the bank.

When a company has filed under chapter 11, their stock may not be very attractive. Investor may therefore not be willing to invest in this particular company. However, there is no particular federal law that prohibits trade under chapter 11.
