Swedish term

beviljas ackord

Swedish to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general) Bankrupt
in the sentence:
Endera parten äger rätt att säga upp avtalet med omedelbar verkan om motparten beviljas ackord, försätts i konkurs eller eljest obestridligen är på obestånd.

if I translate "försätts i konkurs" as "is placed in liquidation", how do I translate "beviljas ackord"?
I'm not completely sure of the difference

is granted (a) composition

Acc to reliable dictionary.
A kind of re-construction deal for a company with creditors. A composition can be voluntary or legally enforced (as towards creditors that is - they may be forced to agree to composition).

In Swedish system there is a legal difference between "likvidation" and "konkurs". Konkurs may not be liquidation here, but rather bankrupt, out of business etc.
