Henry,

there is a huge difference between TWA, Harley and others who have made it out of BK. The difference is that most companies that have came through BK successfully at one time were successful, profitable companies. IRID's problem is they have been doomed for BK from the beginning.

Terms for the recent financing deal called for over 52K subscribes, and current reality is only a bit over 10k...I think all hope has been lost.. I really feel for the long shareholders who were dooped by management, all the while they were receiving their paycheck...

What a great country...

Regards.

Many large publicly traded companies that enter chapter 11 survive. But the stock that exists at the time of filing is almost always cancelled. New stock is issued to the debt holders in exchange for debt. Existing shareholders get nothing.
Iridium is not profitable, has never been profitable. As to whether they will survive its anyones guess. Will shareholders get anything? Not a chance.
