TSEOF common equity is likely to be cancelled or massively diluted in the Chapter 11 restructuring. The stock may trade on reorganization value speculation, but recovery for common holders is expected to be zero. Monitor the Bankruptcy Court docket for the Plan and Disclosure Statement, which will detail the equity rights offering and distribution to creditors. The $25M incremental revolver provides near-term liquidity but does not change the fundamental insolvency.

Executive Summary
Trinseo and its subsidiaries have entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement with creditors holding ~98% of Super HoldCo 1L loans, 100% of RCF obligations, and 57.2% of OpCo 2028 term loans, committing to a pre-packaged Chapter 11 filing and comprehensive restructuring. Concurrently, the company secured a $25M incremental revolving credit facility under the existing credit agreement, funded by existing lenders with a 3.50% PIK fee, and executed a third amendment to the credit agreement. The restructuring contemplates a debt-for-equity swap, DIP financing, and an equity rights offering, with the goal of deleveraging the balance sheet through a court-supervised process.
