Big Electric Company Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
Big Electric Company Chapter 11 bankruptcy case in the news: In the Pacific Gas & Electric Co. (“PG&E”) Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the Bankruptcy Court recently ended the “exclusivity period”, in which only debtor PG&E could file a proposed Chapter 11 plan of reorganization. Now the noteholders and wildfire victims have filed a joint alternative proposed Chapter 11 plan, which will compete for confirmation, with PG&E’s proposed Chapter 11 plan. The proposed Chapter 11 plan filed by the noteholders and wild fire victims, would, if confirmed (means approved) by the Bankruptcy Court, give the noteholders control of the company and would provide for paying victims an additional $6 billion in potential compensation.
