Mercer International (NASDAQ: MERC), a global pulp and paper producer, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Nov. 9, 2026, as part of a debt restructuring deal targeting approximately $900 million in obligations. Under the plan, senior noteholders will receive 91.5% of the reorganized company's common stock, while existing shareholders' ownership will be diluted to 8.5%.

The restructuring aims to reduce outstanding senior note debt by roughly 88%, eliminating over $100 million in annual cash interest payments. Mercer secured support from holders of more than 88% of its outstanding senior notes and plans to emerge from bankruptcy by end of December 2026. Operating subsidiaries in Canada, Germany, and the United States will continue normal operations during the restructuring process.
