Mirant Peddles Prepackaged Bankruptcy as Subsidiary Defaults

Adding to the company’s current troubles, Mirant announced Friday that its Mirant Americas Generation LLC (MAG) subsidiary received on June 6 a notice of default on credit facilities from Lehman Brothers Commercial Paper Inc. The company also said that it is actively “seeking acceptances” from its bank lenders of the proposed pre-packaged Chapter 11 reorganization plan, which was sent out earlier this month as a worst-case alternative to its debt restructuring proposal (see NGI, June 9).
