Group 4: Stakeholder Dynamics - The average premium for creditors converting debt to equity in 2024 was 114.62%, although this was a decrease from 210.23% in 2023, suggesting that creditors are still bearing significant risks in the reorganization process [14]. - Conversely, the average return for restructuring investors reached 188.61% in 2024, reflecting a growing disparity in risk and reward among different stakeholders involved in the reorganization [16].
