When a bank goes bankrupt, who gets priority for payback: its bondholders or depositors?
Debt holders with equity security interests are the first priority during bankruptcy. Next come Non-Priority Unsecured claims. Those with common stock, on the other hand, have the least priority during bankruptcy. While common stock gives the owner the most control over the company, it has the lowest priority during bankruptcy.
Equity security interest holders are the priority during bankruptcy
When a Debtor files for bankruptcy, equity security interest holders are the first to be considered. Equity security interest holders include corporations, limited partners, and other entities that have stock equity or ownership interests in a Debtor. They can also include persons who have reserved the right to buy, sell, or otherwise acquire new warrants.
However, the priority system does not work the same way in unsecured creditors. For example, non-priority unsecured creditors are given only a partial claim value and are not given first dibs on the distribution of assets from the bankruptcy estate. Instead, they can receive an installment payment plan, a promissory note, or even equity in the company’s reorganized company.
Non-Priority Unsecured claims are next in line
Unsecured creditors are those whose claims are not secured by any asset. As such, they have the lowest priority. These creditors will receive a pro rata distribution after administrative costs. They are also often entitled to some form of payment plan or even equity in the reorganized company.
When a company files for bankruptcy, it distributes its assets to creditors in order of priority. Security creditors are paid first. Next, priority unsecured creditors follow. Then, the remaining creditors are paid. However, there are exceptions to this rule that can change the order of priority and affect the value of a claim.
Pro rata distribution works among similarly situated creditors in the same class
Pro rata distribution is a legal concept that divides a bankruptcy estate among similarly situated creditors in the same category. Typically, the pro rata distribution applies to general unsecured creditors and equity shareholders, the lowest classes under the bankruptcy priority scheme. Under this concept, creditors that qualify for the pro rata distribution receive a percentage of the remaining assets, which is proportional to the size of each creditor’s bankruptcy claim. However, if the bankruptcy estate cannot satisfy all of the creditors, the pro rata distribution may be insufficient to cover all of the creditors’ debts.
Under bankruptcy law, creditors do not receive an equal share of the estate, but creditors that have priority status, and security interests are generally entitled to full payment. This policy protects creditors and preserves equal treatment among unsecured creditors. In addition, bankruptcy law imposes special restrictions that prevent the debtor from giving any one credit or more than another. These restrictions also prevent the disbursement of assets prior to bankruptcy filing.
Waterfall payment structure is a priority between Depositors and Bondholders during bankruptcy.
A waterfall payment structure is a system that ensures the highest priority debts are paid first. This lowers the debtor’s risk of becoming insolvent and gives him access to cash. However, the structure is not always fair for lower priority claims.
The waterfall payment structure is a part of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, which requires payment to first be made to secured creditors. The remaining funds are distributed in proportion to the amount of debt owed to each class of creditors. The majority of lenders agree to this distribution plan, though there are some differences. For example, some lenders believe that small investors are entitled to a larger share of the funds than larger investors.

St. George is a city in and the county seat of Washington County, Utah, United States. Located in southwestern Utah on the Arizona border, it is the principal city of the St. George Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). The city lies in the northeasternmost part of the Mojave Desert, adjacent to the Pine Valley Mountains and near the convergence of three distinct geologic areas and ecoregions: the Mojave Desert, Colorado Plateau, and the Great Basin.[4] The city is 118 miles (190 km) northeast of Las Vegas, Nevada, and 300 miles (480 km) south-southwest of Salt Lake City, Utah, on Interstate 15.
As of the 2020 U.S Census, the city had a population of 95,342, with the overall MSA having an estimated population of 180,279.[5][6] St. George is the seventh-largest city in Utah and most populous city in the state outside of the Wasatch Front.
The city was settled in 1861 as a cotton mission, earning it the nickname “Dixie“. While the crop never became a successful commodity, the area steadily grew in population. Between 2000 and 2005, St. George emerged as the fastest growing metropolitan area in the United States.[7] Today, the St. George region is well known for its year-round outdoor recreation and proximity to several state parks, Zion National Park and The Grand Canyon. Utah Tech University is located in St. George and is an NCAA Division I institution.
