Deep dives

Fisker Inc.'s Chapter 11 Liquidation

Fisker Inc. recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in Delaware, primarily aiming to liquidate its remaining inventory after unsuccessful pre-petition sale negotiations. The company is not pursuing new debt financing but secured interim cash collateral usage from secured parties to facilitate operations. A significant aspect of this case is the agreement with a vehicle leasing counterparty to sell Fisker's entire fleet of approximately 4,300 cars, which may aid in the liquidation process. Judge Thomas M. Horan's approval of this arrangement and the cash collateral use indicates judicial support for the company's path forward despite its precarious situation.
