Accuride chapter 11 filing
We are advising the ABL agent in connection with the restructuring
Davis Polk is advising the administrative agent and collateral agent under an asset-based revolving credit agreement among Accuride Corporation and other parties, in connection with Accuride’s chapter 11 restructuring. On October 9, 2024, Accuride and its affiliated debtors filed voluntary chapter 11 petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. In conjunction with the debtors’ postpetition financing, the prepetition revolving lenders agreed to allow the debtors to use their cash collateral in exchange for adequate protection liens and superpriority claims on all of the debtors’ prepetition assets and substantially all of the debtors’ postpetition assets. The Court approved the debtors’ access to cash collateral, along with the debtor-in-possession financing, on an interim basis at the debtors’ “first-day” hearing held on October 11, 2024.
