Cineworld Group PLC (LSE:CINE) has submitted its reorganisation plan to the bankruptcy courts in Texas, supported by most of its lenders.
Aimed at helping the embattled cinema chain emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, the proposals were shared earlier this month and will include lenders reducing the debt pile and receiving equity in the reorganised group, though existing shareholders are expected to get nothing.
If all goes as intended, the company is hoping to emerge from Chapter 11 before the end of June.
The plan is subject to approval from the bankruptcy court, which in this case is the US Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division.
Shares fell 29% to 1.25p.
