Cengage Files Chapter 11 Bankruptcy: ‘Normal Business Operations’ Will Continue
by George H. Pike
Citing nearly $6 billion of debt, Cengage Learning filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition in federal court last week. The bankruptcy petition is part of an effort to restructure its outstanding debt, with a goal of eliminating as much as $4 billion of debt. The petition includes all of Cengage Learning's wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries, although not its non-U.S. subsidiaries. By filing the Chapter 11 bankruptcy, Cengage will remain in business during the bankruptcy process, with day-to-day operations and personnel largely unchanged, and it expects to continue with product development and innovation.
