MGM’s creditors agreed on a reorganization plan which excludes billionaire Carl Icahn. Rather than selling their debt to Icahn, the creditors instead moved MGM into Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The vote happened following Icahn’s two separate offers to purchase MGM debt in an effort to merge the company with Lionsgate where he is the majority stakeholder. If Icahn had been allowed to buy up the debt, he would have tallied a 51% share of MGM and been in a position to force the merger. Last week, a lawsuit was filed against Icahn by Lionsgate in New York Federal Court claiming he has been playing a “double game” with Lionsgate and MGM. During its bankruptcy plan, MGM will have approximately a month to reorganize resulting with its $4 billion in debt turned into equity. Gary Barber and Roger Birnbaum of Spyglass Entertainment will now head MGM. MGM released this statement:
