Getty Images Holdings, Inc. — Chapter 11 reorganization petition filed Oct 21, 2026.

Background on Chapter 11: A Chapter 11 filing puts the automatic stay in place and starts the plan process. Unsecured creditors may see an official committee formed by the U.S. Trustee; claims are usually managed by a court-approved claims agent in larger cases.

This page reflects the petition filed on Oct 21, 2026. Later docket events (dismissal, conversion, plan confirmation, final decree, closing) are added when they appear in the court's public RSS feed, which not every court publishes in full, so the absence of such an event here does not mean the case is still open.
