What is a “disclosure statement” in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy?

A disclosure statement is an important document in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy case in North Dakota. It gives creditors and other parties (including the debtor and other interested parties) an opportunity to review and comment on the debtor’s plan of reorganization. This statement typically includes information about the debtor’s financial history and current condition, the proposed plan of reorganization, and the consequences of the plan. The disclosure statement is created by the debtor, but must be approved by the bankruptcy court. The court will review the statement and, if approved, provide it to the creditors. The creditors then have an opportunity to review it and decide whether or not to accept or reject the plan. Creditors must also review and comment on the proposed repayment plan, as well as any proposed changes to the debtor’s terms. If all parties agree on the plan, the bankruptcy court will approve the plan and the debtor will begin its repayment plan. If one or more of the creditors objects to the plan, then the court may require the debtor to make changes to the plan before it is approved. In short, a disclosure statement in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy is an important document that provides all parties involved with information regarding the debtor’s financial predicament, the proposed plan of reorganization, and the consequences of the plan. The court must approve the statement before the plan of reorganization can be accepted.
