I think when people say "newco", they mean "reorgco".

Large, it's a term-of-art in bankruptcy cases. The effect of executing an approved 'Plan of Reorganization' is to cause a "New" company to become in existence, shedding all the baggage of the "Old" company.

{That's also why new securities are issued as well.}

Of course, it's a reorganized company, by definition.

But "NewCo" is the normal shorthand used, as opposed to "OldCo" (the current company).

It's normal bankruptcy terminology.

Thanks for your .02! NEWCO just another name for reorganized WAMU.

Large Green, great point again.
However this WAMU take-down/BK/reorg, etc.... whatever you want to call it might just be the "tip of the iceberg" to reorg. BK laws going forward and therefore a precedent IMO.

Absolutely Agree....NEW CO is pointless unless we are getting the "original" company with all the "original" assets backs
