How to evaluate this page

Definition

What is it: Article 9 Restructuring refers to an alternative form of business asset liquidation that preserves underlying business value when a company cannot meet its debt obligations. It utilizes provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code to allow a senior creditor to transact collateral in a private, out-of-court sale.

What is it used for: This process is used to divorce core enterprise value from unsupportable debt, resolve subordinate liens, and create pristine entities for acquisition or new lending. It allows private equity investors to enter acquisitions at the liquidated asset value rather than the value of the debt note.
