Reorganization
Many companies filing Chapter 11 ultimately emerge from bankruptcy under the terms of a reorganization plan filed with the courts. Reorganization for a company invariably means the cancellation of existing common stock and issuance of new stock. At this point, the pre-bankruptcy stock will officially be rendered worthless and will have no valid claim on any corporate assets.
Bankruptcy Stock Symbols
Once a reorganization plan has been announced, but before it is officially put into effect, the pre-bankruptcy shares will trade with a five-letter stock symbol ending in "Q," to prevent investor confusion as to the nature of the shares. The post-bankruptcy shares will trade with a stock symbol ending in "V" and will be referred to as "when-issued" shares, meaning that they will be the valid trading shares once the company officially emerges from bankruptcy. Ultimately, the "Q" shares will be rendered worthless.

Creede and Ernie: EXCO Resources exited bankruptcy on July 1,2019 whereupon all equity (ie., shares) were cancelled and the ticker ECOOQ was deleted by FINRA.
On July 23,2019 FINRA approved a new ticker, EXCE, for the reorganized company.
EXCE shares are new equity shares and have no further association with the cancelled equity, BUT, be aware that the new ticker EXCE would be indelibly tied to the reorganized SECURED and UNSECURED DEBTS.
Readers should read the PLAN to determine how much debt, secured and unsecured, is connected to the new equity, EXCE.
Best o' luck, amigos.
