Yeah, and there's a lot to read, too. The newco term sheet is interesting. Looks like they're going to have a real go at this business. Brave boys! I wonder who they'll appoint as OpCo CEO? Like all never-ending sagas, this one never ends.

Am I correct that none of the four designated bidders even submitted a bid for more than $690 million? Sheesh!

If this sale to CS is for real, my guess is that objections by the creditor committee will follow. They would be the basis for rejection of the sale by the Court.

What's interesting is the 10 percent management bone for no consideration, as described in the term sheet. That's typical. The senior most claimants try to make a pact with management to screw everybody else.

Who sees it differently?

This sale appears to face two hurdles, however low or high they may be.

First, it must be approved by the debtor's board. I don't have a clue whether that approval is perfunctory or not.

Second, it must be approved by the court, presumably over the objections of the creditor committee.

What are you odds-makers saying?
