Borders Refinances – Lives For Another Day
Borders has successfully refinanced the terms of the loan from Pershing Square Capital Management. The overseas operations are still for sale which I understand will help Borders quite a bit if they can unload.
More details that I really don’t understand are here at Publishers Weekly.

Jane,
What don’t you understand? :)
The deal seems fairly straight forward. Lower interest rate and so on. I do think that the deal looks much better this time.

LOL. I’m pretty sure I don’t understand the warrants and so forth. Are those options to purchase common stock?

Options are usually for employees, and warrants are for the public. Often they are with respect to preferred rather than common stock. And they can be publicly traded if the shares are listed on an exchange.

Oh, yay! I was hoping their reinvention with the new concept stores would help them stay afloat. This is good news, I love Borders.
