At the beginning of the month, American Tire Distributors (ATD) voluntarily filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy to implement an agreement between its bondholders to recapitalize its debt.
The agreement with approximately 75% of bondholders, which court filings indicate is now also supported by over two-thirds of ATD’s term lenders, states that bondholders will receive 95% of new equity in the recapitalized company and existing equity holders will receive 5% of the new equity plus warrants. The agreement was signed in order for ATD to recapitalize $1.1 billion of its debt.
The top 30 creditors, many of which are tire manufacturers, are listed below with the amount of money ATD owes them.
ATD’s recapitalization plan, filed last week, addresses the $1.1 billion in senior subordinated notes due to Wells Fargo Bank, ATD’s bond trustee, and provides for payment in full in cash to other unsecured creditors, like vendors.
