LATAM Airlines has presented a new $2.45 billion financing proposal in the middle of its bankruptcy protection process in the United States, replacing a proposed debtor-in-possession loan that prompted the judge to reject the original plan earlier this month.

LATAM, the largest air transport company in Latin America, told the Chilean securities regulator in a letter on Wednesday night that the new debtor-in-possession loan maintained “basically” the structure presented in July.

In a second tranche, several key LATAM shareholders, including the Cueto family, which controls the airline, and Qatar Airways, changed their offering from the $900 million convertible loan previously rejected by the judge amid opposition from other creditors to $750 million with $250 million additional financing from creditors led by Jefferies Group and $150 million from other LATAM shareholders or new investors.

The new proposal offers a loan maturity of 18 months and an annual interest rate of Libor plus 15%. It also requires LATAM to maintain at least $400 million in liquidity.

Trump Casts New Doubt On Any Deal To Keep TikTok Alive In U.S.President Trump has cast fresh doubt on any deal to keep TikTok in the country. Trump also said he had been informed that there's 'no legal path' for the U.S. to get a cut of whatever deal the government approves — an idea he had floated previously. Every time you or some other news org treats his baseless claims as serious, you set yourselves up for these Charlie Brownish statements. There was never a path for the government to get a cut from two non government businesses jfc. This guy is so stupid. Weird how all this did was make TikTok eligible for numerous protections businesses enjoy here in the US. Winning amirite? VoteBlue2020
