Quebecor files application to block proposed debt restructuring at Corus
Quebecor Inc is attempting to block the planned financial restructuring of Corus Entertainment Inc by taking part in the federal government’s review of the transaction. Quebecor has asked the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission for intervenor status in hearings on Corus’s proposal to give control of the company to creditors as part of a $500-million debt-for-equity swap. The proposed restructuring would hand control to a group of credit funds led by Toronto-based Canso Investment Counsel Ltd, which Quebecor claims has no experience or expertise in the broadcasting sector.
