From a Company standpoint I think this is a good thing (chapter 11). The Albatross around the Company's neck has always been the Non-Stocking Distributor Sales/Service business model that sucked about 25% (Distributor discount) off the top of all revenues. Chapter 11 will make it easier/cheaper to get rid of the Distributors and replace with direct sales/service people---sending additional 10-15% straight to the bottom line----generating profits for the first time in---well---forever. Also, they can stop chasing shinny crap like micro-turbine powered trucks/buses, hydrogen economy, range extenders, etc., and focus on what they do best.
From a shareholder standpoint---I don't know. It will be harder to get rid of your stock because it is going to be a private corp. instead of a public corp.. It all depends on if the new Company will pay dividends, and how much---that will set the stock value.
