Chapter 11 Does not confirm bankruptcy4 Sep 2022 14:27
This chapter of the Bankruptcy Code generally provides for reorganization, usually involving a corporation or partnership. A chapter 11 debtor usually proposes a plan of reorganization to keep its business alive and pay creditors over time. People in business or individuals can also seek relief in chapter 11.
This is factual information!
The link is below but is just the basics but also factual information as opposed to media scaremongering tripe.

Note an excerpt from the above
'Because certain filing deadlines are different and extensions are more difficult to obtain, a small business case normally proceeds more quickly than other chapter 11 cases. In a small business case, only the debtor may file a plan during the first 180 days after the case is filed. 11 U.S.C. § 1121(e). This "exclusivity period" may be extended by the court, but only to 300 days, and only if the debtor demonstrates by a preponderance of the evidence that the court will confirm a plan within a reasonable period of time. In a subchapter V small business case, only the debtor may file a plan. 11 U.S.C. § 1189. In other chapter 11 cases, however, the court may extend the exclusivity period "for cause" up to 18 months. Another example of the faster pace of small business and subchapter V cases is that the debtor may not need to file a separate disclosure statement if the court determines that adequate information is contained in the plan. 11 U.S.C. §§ 1125(f), 1181, 1187. In a traditional chapter 11 case, the debtor must file a separate disclosure statement. 11 U.S.C. § 1125.'
It effectively gives Cine up to 18 months recovery time to enable a plan to be put together ( as long as agreed by the court of course) . This does not however mean that it is 18 months to pay all outstanding debts.
Cine in my honest opinion but of course non factual, i will say are being very cute in playing for time, in addition they can achieve the removal of the threat of enforcement of compensatory financial payments against them.
