What is a “voting plan” in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy?

A “voting plan” in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy is a proposal for how creditors and other stakeholders should vote on a reorganization plan. Chapter 11 bankruptcy is a type of bankruptcy that allows businesses or individuals to reorganize their debts and create a repayment plan. Creditors, investors, and other stakeholders are then asked to vote on the plan. The voting plan explains who is allowed to vote, which classes of claims are entitled to vote, how much of a claim must be held to receive a vote, and how votes will be aggregated to determine approval of the plan. Voting in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding is an important step in the reorganization process and determines the outcome of the bankruptcy. The plan must be approved by creditors and other stakeholders to become valid. In order for a plan to be approved, at least one class of creditors must receive more value from the plan than they would have received in a liquidation. Creditors are generally allowed to vote only if their claim meets certain criteria and must vote in proportion to the amount of their claim. The voting plan is used to ensure that creditors and other stakeholders receive the appropriate amount of votes for their claims, and to ensure that the reorganization plan is approved. The voting process in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Alaska is overseen by the court and is subject to the rules set forth in the Bankruptcy Code. It is important for creditors and other stakeholders to understand the voting plan before voting on the reorganization plan to ensure that their vote is counted.
