Reader’s Digest Out from Chapter 11

The Reader’s Digest Association has officially emerged from Chapter 11 protection. As part of its restructuring, the publisher reduced its debt by 75% (from $2.2 billion to $525 million). Holders of senior secured debt transferred ownership of Reader's Digest to the lender group and will effectively receive equity.
