Market Chatter: Azul Reportedly Nears $600 Million Debt Deal with Lessors; Shares Jump
Azul (AZUL) is close to finalizing a deal with lessors to restructure about $600 million in debt, offering them equity in the company, Reuters reported Friday, citing people familiar with the talks.
A deal, which could be signed within weeks, would give lessors around a 20% equity stake in Azul, according to the people.
The Brazilian airline's shares have dropped over 40% since August amid concerns over potential bankruptcy, according to the report.
Sources said that momentum was building toward an "out-of-court restructuring," which may pave the way for additional bondholder financing.
Azul did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
Shares of Azul were up over 25% in recent Friday trading.
