RE: Debt resume That is an interesting proposal. Do an exchange offer *today* to the 2013 MTNs to extend maturity at higher rate to 2017. Do an exchange offer *today* to the 2014 MTNs to extend maturity to 2018 at a higher rate. With those two done, then it is time to play hardball with the banks. Paint a situation where a CCAA filing won't give them a better return than just dealing in good faith to pay back the line from EBITDA between 2013 and end of 2014. With no other maturities due, my money says the banks will play ball.
Does anyone see a covenant preventing this? Are the banks in a position to prevent such an action on the MTNs?
