Creditors Agree on Chapter 11 Plan with Former Fisker Automotive

Submitted by webadmin on

The former Fisker Automotive Inc. appears headed for a peaceful end to its bankruptcy, having reached an accord with the official committee of unsecured creditors over terms of a cash-sharing plan, the Wall Street Journal reported today. Announced in a court filing yesterday, the agreement heads off the threat of a major clash next week, when the bankruptcy case of the former hybrid auto maker enters its final stages. China's Wanxiang Group bought the car-making operation at a bankruptcy auction, leaving $149.2 million worth of cash and stock for Fisker creditors. Fisker's creditor’s committee forced the auction after a fight with the company, which advocated a private deal with a company affiliated with Hong Kong billionaire Richard Li, an early Fisker backer.
