Scandinavian airline SAS is wiping out existing shareholders as part of a rescue deal that involves bigger rival Air France-KLM and private equity firm Castlelake becoming new investors alongside the Danish state.
The long-struggling airline said on Tuesday that it would receive $475mn in new equity and $700mn in convertible debt as part of the deal, taking it off the stock exchange with no payment to current shareholders and little to bondholders.
Anyone risking to bet on this making a turnaround are having a bad time today. Stock is down 83% on the Stockholm Nasdaq since the announcement and will inevitably be worthless very soon.
