Multi-Color Corporation, et al.
Case Number:
26-10910
General Information:
On January 29, 2026, Multi-Color Corporation announced that the Company has commenced its prepackaged Chapter 11 filing in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey (“the Court”) in order to implement its previously announced restructuring support agreement (the “RSA”) that will recapitalize the Company and fundamentally reset the balance sheet.
The RSA was entered into with a group of holders of approximately 72% in amount of MCC’s secured first lien debt and its majority owner, CD&R, on the terms of a comprehensive financial restructuring. The transactions contemplated in the RSA will significantly deleverage MCC’s balance sheet, reducing its net debt load from approximately $5.9 billion to approximately $2.0 billion. The Company’s annualized cash interest will also be reduced from approximately $475 million to $140 million in 2026, a reduction of over $330 million, with long-term debt maturities extended to 2033 following consummation of the restructuring transactions.
As part of this agreement, CD&R and a group of MCC's existing secured lenders will provide an $889 million new common and preferred equity investment that will support long-term growth and investment. Upon emergence, MCC will have more than $550 million of liquidity.
On February 2, MCC received Court approval for “first day” motions related to its prepackaged Chapter 11 filed on January 29, 2026. The approval affirms the Company will operate in the normal course, pay all trade vendors and suppliers in full and maintain a strong liquidity position during the restructuring.
As part of this approval, the Court granted MCC immediate access to $125 million of $250 million in debtor-in possession (“DIP”) new money financing, provided by certain holders of MCC’s secured first lien debt and its majority owner, CD&R. This funding will capitalize the business through the initial stages of the prepackaged Chapter 11 process.
The Court also granted MCC authority to pay trade vendors and suppliers in full in the ordinary course, maintain wages and benefits without interruption, and perform other critical functions and processes necessary for MCC to continue uninterrupted operations.
MCC expects to obtain approval to access the remaining $125 million of DIP financing upon the Court's entry of a final order in early March.
