The league said the court-supervised restructuring is intended to preserve its business while advancing a new ownership model. LIV also announced a restructuring support agreement with BC Partners Credit.The proposed transaction remains subject to court and stakeholder approval, as well as other conditions, before the planned restructuring can be completed.
