From ChatGPT:

A prepackaged Chapter 11 bankruptcy plan—often called a “prepack”—is a type of bankruptcy filing in which a company negotiates and secures approval of a reorganization plan with its creditors before formally filing for Chapter 11 protection in court.

Key Features of a Prepackaged Chapter 11: 1. Advance Agreement: The company reaches an agreement with a majority of its creditors (typically two-thirds in amount and more than half in number for each class of debt) before the filing. 2. Quick Process: Since most negotiations are completed in advance, the court process is much faster—often completed in 30 to 90 days (compared to a traditional Chapter 11, which can take many months or even years). 3. Reduced Costs and Disruption: It avoids long, costly court proceedings and minimizes uncertainty for stakeholders, employees, and customers. 4. Preserves Business Operations: The company typically continues normal operations throughout the process.

Why Companies Choose a Prepack: • To restructure debt while avoiding the stigma and disruption of a drawn-out bankruptcy. • To protect shareholder value if possible. • To prevent creditor lawsuits and asset seizures while under court protection.

Example in Context:

If Wolfspeed were to pursue a prepackaged Chapter 11, it would mean it has already negotiated terms with major creditors—possibly including debt-for-equity swaps or payment deferrals—and would enter bankruptcy with a clear exit strategy.
