Voluntary liquidation

Liquidation proceedings that are supported by a company's shareholders.

The decision by shareholders in a publicly-traded company to cease operations, sell all assets, and use the proceeds to repay its creditors as far as possible. A voluntary liquidation differs from a bankruptcy, where the company files with a court without taking a vote of shareholders.
