Corus Entertainment ( ($TSE:CJR.B) ) has provided an update.

Corus Entertainment has mailed and filed materials for special meetings of its shareholders and senior noteholders to vote on a proposed recapitalization transaction designed to materially reduce debt, cut annual interest costs, and secure ongoing access to an expanded revolving credit facility. Backed by a substantial majority of both senior noteholders and key voting shareholders, the board unanimously supports the plan of arrangement under the Canada Business Corporations Act as the best available solution to stabilize the balance sheet, extend covenant relief, and preserve value for stakeholders, warning that failure to approve the deal could force alternative restructuring with little or no recovery for equity holders.

The most recent analyst rating on ($TSE:CJR.B) stock is a Sell with a C$0.03 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Corus Entertainment stock, see the TSE:CJR.B Stock Forecast page.
