CD&R-Backed Multi-Color Wins Approval of Debt Restructuring

A private equity-backed label manufacturer secured court approval for a debt restructuring plan, slashing nearly $4 billion in obligations to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The company resolved disputes with a dissenting lender group, finalizing terms that enable its exit from bankruptcy proceedings after prolonged negotiations. Approval was granted in April 2026, marking a critical milestone in the firm’s financial recovery and operational continuity under revised debt terms. The restructuring eliminates a significant portion of legacy debt, positioning the company for long-term stability amid shifting market conditions in the label production sector. The deal underscores private equity’s role in navigating complex financial turnarounds, setting a precedent for distressed asset resolutions in industrial manufacturing.
