The creditor should first examine how the restructuring affects the debtor, the assets available to satisfy claims, the allocation of assets, and any existing security. Mere suspicion is not enough to provide a sound basis for the request; relevant contract documents, evidence of the claim, and specific changes should be compiled. The request for security must clearly identify the company concerned and the claim, and explain why the reorganization could put payment of the claim at risk. Depending on the claim, the agreement, and the proceedings, different forms of security may be appropriate, such as a guarantee, a pledge, or another suitable form of security. The amount and duration should be proportionate to the claim being secured and recorded in writing. Special deadlines and procedures may apply to making the request. Security is distinct from filing the claim and from objecting to the reorganization; the creditor should therefore check whether several steps need to be taken in parallel.
