The change being investigated

THE PRIOR BELIEF

Not reconstructed: the pre-failure expectations and original investment thesis still need documentary research.

THE NEW POSSIBILITY

Chapter 11 established a financing-survival failure; shareholder recovery must be assessed separately.

Retrospective interpretation. Contemporary sentiment evidence is incomplete. These descriptions are reconstructed research hypotheses, not measured market consensus.

Price window not yet verified

This documentary case has dated business evidence. No numerical stock return, entry point, exit point or drawdown is claimed until suitable price and benchmark data are attached.

THE DATED EVIDENCE
