The prepackaged plan has the support of major creditors under an agreement signed on October 12, 2026. It also provides for significant debt reduction and resolution of non-operating legal liabilities. An affiliate of Koch Equity Development would provide up to $143 million of financing. Getty Images says it continues operating normally and expects to finish by year end as a private company owned by the investors.
