Charter Communications Bankruptcy
By: Paul A. Gompers and Emily Weisburst
Abstract
Charter Communications' bankruptcy presents an opportunity for some of its creditors to convert their debt holdings into equity. A mutual fund manager must determine how to maximize his debt investment in Charter given the restructuring and decide whether to participate in an additional equity rights offering led by three private equity firms, Apollo Management, Oaktree Capital Management and Crestview Partners.
