▪The company is undergoing reconstructing.
▪The company is being rebuilt.
"Restructuring" is a noun used to describe the process of organizing something differently, often in a business or financial context. In the sentence "The company is undergoing restructuring," the phrase is used correctly to indicate organizational changes. "Reconstructing," on the other hand, means "to rebuild" and is a verb that requires an object, making "undergoing reconstructing" grammatically incorrect. Thus, "restructuring" is the appropriate choice for describing changes in the company's structure.
