GM's Bondholders

By Stephen Lubben

ADVERTISEMENTS

The "Unofficial Committee of Family & Dissident GM Bondholders" -- a group comprised of 3 individuals who hold 0.0085% of the outstanding GM bonds -- has moved to become an official committee. I have never seen a case where a single security has been subdivided into multiple committees (the bonds are already represented on the general committee).

Among the issues the F&D folks raise is the possibility that some of the bondholders who agreed to support the revised deal with GM might have CDS protection (sometimes referred to as a "basis trade"). This is an issue I discussed in my article on CDS and chapter 11 -- the possibility that hedged creditors might support different plans than "normal" creditors, given their downside protection -- and it will be interesting to see if at the sale hearing the bankruptcy court wants to know more about the bondholders who are supporting the sale.
