Force 10 implemented aggressive efforts to stem operating losses including reducing payroll, improving operational efficiencies, creating oversight of accounting processes, and collecting significantly past-due receivables. Such efforts resulted in substantial additional cash flow. Force 10 secured debtor-in-possession financing, prepared the business for a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, oversaw the restructuring process, and successfully negotiated a consensual Plan of Reorganization between the Debtors, the secured creditors, and the official committee of unsecured creditors whereby over $100 million of senior secured debt and over $30 million of junior claims were exchanged for interests in a trust, while the balance of the senior secured debt converted into equity of the reorganized Debtor.
