  • 75% of the obligations covered by the plan are backed by creditors supporting the deal, according to people familiar with the matter.
  • Brazilian court procedures have already started, with the company submitting documents to formalize the restructuring.
  • The agreement keeps the process out of a full court-led restructuring while still requiring judicial filing to advance the debt overhaul.
