The main aim of this note is to prove that if k is an algebraically closed field and a k-algebra A₀ is a CB-degeneration of a finite-dimensional k-algebra A₁, then there exists a factor algebra Ā₀ of A₀ of the same dimension as A₁ such that Ā₀ is a CB-degeneration of A₁. As a consequence, Ā₀ is a rigid degeneration of A₁, provided A₀ is basic.
