Abstract

The restructing of a bankrupt company often entails a change of control. By efficiency of a bankruptcy procedure it is usually meant that the control is allocated into the hands of those who can maximise its value. In this paper we focus instead on how to allocate control with a procedure that allows creditors to maximise their returns. The conclusion is that creditors should be allowed to retain a fraction of the shares of the company.
