Spyglass proposes MGM reorganization plan, including prepackaged bankruptcy [updated]

October 7, 2010

Update, 3:35 p.m.: MGM announced that under the proposed plan, its approximtaely 100 lenders will exchange their more than $4 billion in debt for 95.3% of the reorganized studio following its exit from bankruptcy.

Spyglass Entertainment and two of its subsidiary companies, Cypress Entertainment Group Inc. and Garoge, Inc., will merge into MGM and together control the remaining 4.7%.

Those 15 Spyglass movies are valued at about $85 million.

I dare say that compared to the Bond franchise, Stargate is considered small fry, at least by the press/PR folk.
