Treatment of Distressed Municipal Debt

 

The treatment of a corporate or municipal debtor’s debt depends on debtor and creditor constituencies’ negotiations and the bankruptcy plan process.

Before any discussions with respect to restructuring a bond issuance, it is imperative that all sides review and understand the underlying debt documents and collateral and understand any rights and remedies permitted under state law. If all parties are willing to agree, an out-of-court restructuring may be the first course of action. Parties should consider whether a court should sanction the settlement. If an out-of-court restructuring fails or is unavailable, bondholders could pursue state law remedies which would depend on the laws of the particular state in which the default occurred. This video reviews state law remedies and federal securities law, and provides an overview of the Chapter 9 process.
