In a Chapter 11 case, a plan of reorganization is being voted on by classes of creditors. Under the Bankruptcy Code, a class of claims is deemed to have accepted the plan when votes in favor represent at least:

A class accepts a Chapter 11 plan when holders of at least two-thirds in dollar amount and more than half in number of the claims that actually vote approve it. Unanimity is not required, and non-voting claims are excluded from the calculation.

  2. BMore than one-half in dollar amount and two-thirds in number of claims voting
  3. CUnanimous approval of all claim holders in the class
  4. DThree-quarters in dollar amount of all claims in the class, whether or not they vote

Explanation

Class acceptance requires at least two-thirds in amount and more than one-half in number of the allowed claims that actually vote. The reversed thresholds are wrong, unanimity is not required, and the calculation is based on voting claims, not all claims.
