Status of shareholder of a company filling chapter 11 bankrupacy?
Each BK runs its own course...but generally, Stockholders (which are equity) in a bankrupt company (meaning it is insolvent and has more debt than equity)...have any interest in their stock surrendered in the BK. The creditors/lenders...in at least partial trade for not getting paid what they are owed...normally take ownership of the stock. Stockholders are NOT creditors...they are not owed anything by the company...they actually ARE the company! The company that doesn't pay those it borrowed from... If it wasn't a corporation, with stock (a stockholders liability is limited to the amount of his investment...no more), but say a partnership...then each of the partners would be liable for the debts of the Co on top of the amount they invested.
