restructuring
England, Wales
The process whereby a company in financial difficulties and its creditors agree to reorganise the liabilities of the company so that the business of the company can survive. A restructuring is usually implemented by way of contract between the company and its creditors. However, the terms of the restructuring may involve a statutory procedure such as administration. A restructuring can involve implementing cost cutting measures agreed with the creditors such as the closing of unprofitable businesses and often involves a refinancing of a company's existing debts. A restructuring is sometimes also known as a work out or a turnaround.
