Bankruptcy Judge Hears Dispute On Six Flags Reorganization

Finance World News Update by EQUITIES Magazine

A group of noteholders are fighting with theme park operator Six Flags Inc over the company’s Chapter 11 reorganization plan. In a Delaware hearing today, a judge heard competing proposals to restructure the company, which operates 20 amusement parks in the U.S. and abroad.

 

Six Flags wants to extend its exclusive rights to submit a plan, aimed at a debt-to-equity swap giving secured lenders virtually all of the reorganized company’s common stock while holders of more than $500 million of Six Flags notes say they have a better plan that would increase the recovery for creditors. The noteholders are arguing that the company should not be given more time and they should be allowed to present their plan.
