Interep Wipes Away $99M Debt

wifitower1.jpgADOTAS – Interep, an independent ad sales and marketing company, recently inked a deal to undergo what it calls a “consensual balance sheet restructuring” through a Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization plan.

The agreement allows Interep to eliminate all existing debt. Fund managers Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. and Silver Point Capital, L.P., have also agreed to give Interep a $25 million credit facility. The agreement reportedly eliminates $99 million in cash-pay debt, converting into $40 million of no cash interest debt.

“With the agreement of the key bondholders, the company now has a plan that will reduce debt, provide the financial resources to grow, and put any uncertainty about Interep’s future behind us,” David Kennedy, Interep’s vice chairman and CEO, said in a statement. “This agreement was made possible because of the commitment of these long-term financial partners, the outstanding staff and management of Interep, and the tremendous radio and television station clients, agencies and advertisers the company serves.”

Interep said clients and customers will not be affected by the Chapter 11 process. Interep specializes in radio, the Internet, TV and complimentary media.
