Earlier this month, a federal district court issued a $310 million judgment in favor of Aurelius Capital in U.S. Bank National Association v. Windstream Services, LLC v. Aurelius Capital Master, Ltd., finding that Windstream’s 2015 spin-off of its telecommunications assets, and subsequent “lease” of such assets was a sale-leaseback that violated its indenture. As a result of the decision and the corresponding cross-default to Windstream’s other indebtedness, Windstream filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on February 25th.
