Settlement Reached Between PBGC and Friendly’s
These assets are now being used by another Sun affiliate to bid on Friendly’s as it reorganizes in bankruptcy court, and that effort could artificially inflate the auction price and alienate other potential bidders, the federal agency claimed in its filing.
A judge approved a settlement that would allow Sun Capital and its affiliate to use up to $50 million of its funds toward bidding on Friendly’s at an auction next week.
In court records, Sun Capital has stated the transfer involved debt, or a subordinated note, and not equity, as alleged by PBGC.
Sun Capital’s stalking horse bid is currently valued at $75 million and all bids are due next week.
