CIT Group filed for bankruptcy protection on Nov. 1 after the failed restructuring of its outstanding debt. The new reorganization plan reduces CIT’s total debt by $10.5 billion and defers debt maturities for three years.
The government gave CIT $2.3 billion last fall as part of its $700 billion bank rescue program. That $2.3 billion investment was lost when CIT filed for bankruptcy.
