Frontier Communications (NASDAQ:FTR) has
filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
The company announced a restructuring support agreement with creditors (representing more than 75% of $11B in outstanding unsecured bonds) where it secures commitments for $460M in debtor-in-possession financing.
That, combined with cash on hand, provides more than $1.1B in liquidity.
The news comes ahead of debt payments due tomorrow.
The plan is intended to reduce debt by more than $10B.
Frontier expects to continue providing service to customers without interruption. Trade vendors will be unimpaired for both pre- and post-petition obligations.
