What is a “debtor-in-possession financing statement” in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy?

A debtor-in-possession financing statement is a document that is filed in the state where the business is registered in order to secure the rights of the creditors in the event of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The statement must be filed in order to establish a lien on the company’s assets. This means that in the event of a bankruptcy filing, the creditor’s claims would be paid before the company’s other debts. The debtor-in-possession financing statement includes information such as the identity of the debtor, the creditors involved, the amounts loaned, and the terms of repayment. In some cases, it may also include information about what specific assets will be used to secure the loan. The statement must also be kept up to date if any changes are made to the loan agreement. In Alaska, the Alaska Uniform Commercial Code governs the filing of debtor-in-possession financing statements. Any creditor wishing to secure their rights in the event of a bankruptcy must file the statement with the Alaska Uniform Commercial Code office. This filing ensures that the creditor’s claim is secured and will be taken into consideration in the event of a bankruptcy filing.
