Restructuring Plan Architect
Architect Chapter 11 restructuring plans and analyze creditor recovery scenarios
What You Can Do
This skill helps you design complete Chapter 11 restructuring plans, including waterfall analysis, creditor classification, and recovery projections. You can generate professional disclosure statements with detailed financial assumptions, feasibility analysis, and recovery calculations that withstand court scrutiny. The skill analyzes operational assumptions, debt scenarios, and creditor groups to produce plan documents that maximize creditor recoveries while maintaining operational continuity.
Features
Calculates distribution scenarios across secured, unsecured, and equity classes with exact recovery percentages and timing per creditor group
Creates complete, court-ready disclosure statements with financial exhibits, risk summaries, and statutory language compliant with Bankruptcy Rules
Analyzes whether your plan can be confirmed by examining cash flow coverage, asset backing, and covenant compliance over plan duration
Automatically classifies creditors by claim priority and generates detailed recovery tables showing payback percentages and dollar amounts
Builds projected balance sheets and cash flow forecasts under plan scenarios to demonstrate operational and debt-service viability
Models competing restructuring paths (asset sales, spinoffs, mergers, liquidation) side-by-side to highlight creditor preference and optimal outcome
Calculates absolute priority violations, fair valuation tests, and dissenting-class treatments to ensure plan structure withstands confirmation objections
Creates realistic restructuring schedules with key dates, cash-flow milestones, asset-sale triggers, and covenant performance checkpoints
Example Output
Waterfall Distribution Example:
Estate: $750M total proceeds
├─ Secured Lender (1L): $350M claim → $350M (100% recovery)
├─ Unsecured Trade Creditors: $800M claims → $240M pool = 30¢ per dollar
├─ Employee Claims: $100M priority claims → $100M (100% recovery)
├─ Equity: $0 distribution (wiped out)
Estate Costs: $25M deducted from distributions
Feasibility Summary Excerpt: Year 1-3 operating revenue: $450M-520M | EBITDA margin: 18-22% | Annual debt service: $65M | Covenant compliance: 2.5x min coverage ratio achieved
Recovery Comparison Table:
| Creditor Class | Reorganization Plan | Section 363 Sale | Preference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1L Lenders | 95¢ (24-month) | 100¢ (3-month) | Sale |
| Unsecured | 28¢ (48-month) | 22¢ (6-month) | Reorganization |
| Equity | New equity | $0 | N/A |
