WPG filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
Washington Prime Group Inc had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Sunday, June 13, 2021, due to challenges it faced related to the Covid-19 pandemic. Earlier, Washington Prime was able to secure $100 million in new funding to continue operating in the near term which increased hope for its restructuring and emerges from bankruptcy on a more solid financial footing.
Washington Prime has nearly $3.5 billion, to be specific — and it was on the edge of bankruptcy since missing a $23 million interest payment back in March. By reorganizing under Chapter 11, the company can, ideally, convert some of its debt into equity and extend its loan terms.
