Wolman Seeks Plan To Avert Eagles Bankruptcy
Baltimore AP Jerry Wolman wins preliminary approval to pursue a solvency plan that could involve selling the Philadelphia Eagles to repay major creditors. Bankruptcy referee Joseph Kaiser set a deadline extension to May 1 for a decision on the sale, with a Dec 31 buyer search and four months to undo the sale if $35 million can be raised otherwise. Creditors Morgan Guaranty Trust and Fidelity Trust demand first rights to proceeds. Morgan holds Eagles stock and claims over $6 million in loans, Fidelity nearly $8 million and foreclosed on a $3.3 million loan. Kaiser warned the plan remains not final and creditors may object.
