Hobbit Life Raft
Recently, MGM issued an official statement about it’s current financial status, and the rumors about the studio facing bankruptcy. In short…
MGM is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into a forbearance agreement with its lender group. The Company is appreciative of its lenders’ ongoing support. Under the terms of the agreement, MGM’s lender group has agreed not to enforce its rights or remedies arising as a result of the Company’s request to not currently pay interest due on September 30, October 31, and November 30, 2009.
This agreement, which expires December 15, 2009, provides MGM with additional liquidity as discussions continue regarding the development of an optimal capital structure in support of the Company’s long-term business plan. With the agreement in place, MGM has taken an important first step in ensuring that the Company has enhanced financial stability and adequate liquidity to implement its business strategies.
Basically, the company has enough cash flow, as things stand now, to stay open for another year. MGM has stated they most certainly will not be selling off their properties for cash. Instead they are hanging on to their properties such as The Pink Panther, James Bond and The Hobbit and hoping that each next iteration will be a blockbuster release. A risky gamble, but one that can totally pay off if we know anything about how rabid LOTR fans are. [THR]
