It also indicated net losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 of $6.1493 billion, compared to a net loss for the same nine-month period in 2001 of $360.7 million. Rumors of an imminent bankruptcy filing continue to swirl around the company.
Its bulletin acknowledged only that it “is pursuing a fundamental restructuring of its capital structure;” and that it is engaged in ongoing discussions “with bank lenders, certain holders of senior notes, certain holders of Company-obligated trust originated preferred securities and their respective representatives regarding the terms of a potential restructuring plan, including the conversion of a significant amount of the Company’s debt into common equity.”
