DOUGLASVILLE, GA β€” The owner of Arbor Place Mall has struck a deal with its lenders in order to stay afloat.

CBL & Associates Properties announced an agreement with its lenders Wednesday that will allow it to shed about $900 million of debt and at least $600 million of other obligations, according to Atlanta Business Chronicle.

The deal calls for what the Chronicle describes as a β€œcomprehensive restructuring of the company’s balance sheet through Chapter 11 bankruptcy court filings” expected to begin in October. A Chapter 11 bankruptcy allows a company to continue operating while it restructures its debt.
