- Hedge funds with a stake in Brightline’s corporate debt are crafting a plan to elevate their claims over other creditors by offering new financing and concessions.
- The plan would require creditor consent from a group of corporate bondholders who control a majority of the debt and would involve a maneuver to leapfrog other holders of the same debt.
- Brightline has enough cash to make payments on senior municipal debt and junior corporate notes through 2026, but it’s unclear whether the railroad has enough cash to make a Jan 15 interest payment on unrated junior municipal bonds.
