Wolfspeed announced on June 23, 2025, that it has reached a Restructuring Support Agreement (RSA) with key lenders, including holders of over 97% of its senior secured notes and over 67% of its convertible notes. The company plans to file for Chapter 11 reorganization in the near future.

This agreement is expected to substantially de-lever Wolfspeed's capital structure, reducing its overall funded debt by approximately 70%, or about $4.6 billion. It is also projected to lower the company's annual cash interest payments by roughly 60% upon emergence.

Renesas Electronics Corporation, a key partner, expects to record a loss of approximately 250 billion yen on its deposited receivables as a result of this restructuring. Renesas's $2.062 billion deposit will be converted into convertible notes, common stock, and warrants issued by Wolfspeed.
