My big fat Greek restructuring

Well, looks like the third party interlopers in the WIND Hellas situation waited a bit too long to show their hand. However, the investment from Weather only delivers EUR50m in additional liquidity to the company, with the remaining EUR75m going to consent fees and transaction costs. Once the subordinated debt holders have been crushed (the FRNs are quoted 3 - 5, and the PIK notes are looking extremely hot at 1/16 - 9/16), the company should save c.EUR95m in interest costs before taking into account the margin increases for the senior lenders. In short, the company should be stabilized by this deal, but things are going to be tight for a long time, and the market still needs to consolidate, so let's call it Chapter One.
