"filed the Disclosure Statement for the Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan"
Plan of Reorganization regulatory
"Modified Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization"
A plan of reorganization is a formal blueprint used during bankruptcy to rearrange a company’s debts, assets and ownership so it can keep operating. It lays out who gets paid, what creditors and shareholders receive, and how the business will change going forward; think of it as a court-approved debt and recovery roadmap that decides whether investors keep value, receive new securities or cash, or lose their stake.
Effective Date regulatory
"On October 16, 2026 (the "Effective Date")"
The effective date is the specific calendar day when a contract, regulatory action, corporate change, or financial disclosure officially begins to apply and take legal or operational effect. For investors, it marks the moment rules, obligations, ownership, pricing, or reporting change—similar to the exact minute a light switch is flipped—so it determines when rights, liabilities, or market impacts start and which periods or transactions are affected.
