NOLs - Net Operating Loss  http://www.ibfd.org/portal/pdf/Excerpt_MergersandAcquisitions.pdf

4.1.1.3. Preservation of tax losses

All of the tax attributes of the merged corporation, including net operating losses (NOLs),

transfer to the surviving corporation in a tax-free merger (Sec. 381).

Subject to the limitations discussed below, the surviving corporation in a statutory merger or

consolidation of corporations may carry forward the {NOLs} of the absorbed companies to

reduce its taxable income in the 20 subsequent tax years from the tax year in which the loss

was incurred (Sec. 172). NOLs may be carried back 2 years.

Sec. 382, however, limits the use of NOL carry-forward losses, and certain other tax attributes

by the surviving corporation. If the pre-transaction shareholders of the loss corporation do not

own at least 50% of the fully diluted equity (other than non-voting, non-participating preferred

stock) of the surviving entity as applied under the rules of Sec. 382, the use of the NOLs by

the surviving corporation are limited to the fair market value of the merged entity immediately

before the transaction multiplied by the highest long-term tax-exempt bond rate applicable for

any of the 3 months before the transaction.

CORPORATE BANKRUPTCY http://www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/bankrupt.htm

What happens when a public company files for protection under the federal bankruptcy laws? Who protects the interests of investors? Do the old securities have any value when, and if, the company is reorganized? We hope this information answers these and other frequently asked questions about the lengthy and sometimes uncertain bankruptcy process.

What Happens to the Company?
How Are Assets Divided in Bankruptcy?

Secured Creditors - often a bank, is paid first.

Unsecured Creditors - such as banks, suppliers, and bondholders, have the next claim.

Stockholders - owners of the company, have the last claim on assets and may not receive anything if the Secured and Unsecured Creditors' claims are not fully repaid.


Federal bankruptcy laws govern how companies go out of business or recover from crippling debt. A bankrupt company, the "debtor," might use Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code to "reorganize" its business and try to become profitable again. Management continues to run the day-to-day business operations but all significant business decisions must be approved by a bankruptcy court.

Under Chapter 7, the company stops all operations and goes completely out of business. A trustee is appointed to "liquidate" (sell) the company's assets and the money is used to pay off the debt, which may include debts to creditors and investors.

Why Would a Company Choose Chapter 11?

"Prepackaged Bankruptcy Plans"
Sometimes companies prepare a reorganization plan that is negotiated and voted on by creditors and stockholders before they actually file for bankruptcy. This shortens and simplifies the process, saving the company money. For example, Resorts International and TWA used this method.

If prepackaged plans involve an offer to sell a security, they may have to be registered with the SEC. You will get a prospectus and a ballot, and it's important to vote if you want to have any impact on the process. Under the Bankruptcy Code, two-thirds of the stockholders who vote must accept the plan before it can be implemented, and dissenters will have to go along with the majority.

Most publicly-held companies will file under Chapter 11 rather than Chapter 7 because they can still run their business and control the bankruptcy process. Chapter 11 provides a process for rehabilitating the company's faltering business. Sometimes the company successfully works out a plan to return to profitability; sometimes, in the end, it liquidates. Under a Chapter 11 reorganization, a company usually keeps doing business and its stock and bonds may continue to trade in our securities markets. Since they still trade, the company must continue to file SEC reports with information about significant developments. For example, when a company declares bankruptcy, or has other significant corporate changes, they must report it within 15 days on the SEC's Form 8-K.

NOTE: Investors should be cautious when buying common stock of companies in Chapter 11 bankruptcy. It is extremely risky and is likely to lead to financial loss. Although a company may emerge from bankruptcy as a viable entity, generally, the creditors and the bondholders become the new owners of the shares. In most instances, the company's plan of reorganization will cancel the existing equity shares. This happens in bankruptcy cases because secured and unsecured creditors are paid from the company's assets before common stockholders. And in situations where shareholders do participate in the plan, their shares are usually subject to substantial dilution.
