What is a pre‐packaged Chapter 11 filing?
In a “prepackaged” Chapter 11 filing, a company (in this case, a baseball club) obtains any necessary approvals prior to filing. Because so much of the work has been done in advance of the filing, the court‐supervised portion of the process can be completed in a much shorter period of time than other Chapter 11 reorganizations, and with less disruption to the operations of the business.
