§ 648 Licensee Reorganization Consent Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •If a company is in big trouble and the government takes over, it can be fixed with a plan.
  • •The plan needs approval from most of the people the company owes money to (at least 75%).
  • •If the company has owners (stockholders), most of them (at least two-thirds) must also agree to the plan.
  • •The plan must be fair and pay back everyone who is supposed to get their money back in full.

Example

Imagine a bank is failing and the government steps in to help. The bank owes money to customers and other people.

The bank can make a plan to fix its problems, but most of the customers and people it owes money to (75%) must agree. If the bank has owners, most of them (two-thirds) must also agree. The plan must make sure everyone who is supposed to get their money back does.
