Abstract
Describes Federated Department Stores following an important infusion of capital and before its subsequent Chapter 11 filing. The questions include how the company can be managed in a period of financial distress, whether it is possible or desirable to avoid Chapter 11, and if Chapter 11 is inevitable how to best prepare for it so that the ultimate restructuring following Chapter 11 is successful.
