What's going on here?

MOT [Motorola] closed up 5-1/4 points today. Same day Iridium declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy, after defaulting on $1.5 billion. MOT owns 18 percent of Iridium, and guaranteed $800 million note. Iridium, provides phone service through a network of 66 satellites. Is supposed to be one of government's Y2K back-up communication systems.
