-------------------------- [Original Message] -------------------------
I thought LWers might be interested: According to Amiga Report dated 7/27/94,
there have been 4 formal proposals to buy CBM. Amstrad, Samsung, Philips, and
Commodore UK have submitted bids to the liquidators appointed by the Bahaman
courts. However, there are problems. Lawyers for Prudential Insurance Co,
Daewoo Telecom, Anchor National Life, and Daewoo Corp -CBM's principal
creditors- want the bankruptcy proceedings moved to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
in New York. Another option is to have parallel proceedings opened in the
U.S. This is because creditors would have more voice over the disposition
of assets if it is handled here (they only have advisory status under Bahaman
law.) Also, US law would provide more power to examine and possibly reverse
management actions involving assets. Bahaman law allows them to go back three
months, versus one year under U.S. law. This is important because creditors
have questions re: the actions of CBM, in particular the actions of Mehdi Ali.
Since the Bahaman court has rejected the motion to move the proceedings, the
creditors are asking the U.S. Bankruptcy courts to sieze jurisdiction (or open
parallel proceedings).
Amiga Report adds, "Another part of the tangled web seems to be with some of
the prospective buyers. They are concerned with the amount of debt owed" by
CBM -some where around $145 million.
