Hedge Fund: Whippoorwill owns 22% shares of AMIE before its BK:

http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/04/01/windstarcruises-bankruptcy-idUSN0115392320110401?feedType=RSS&feedName=bankruptcyNews&rpc=43

* Ambassadors International files Chapter 11 in Delaware

* NY fund Whippoorwill agrees to buy company

* Windstar operates three luxury yachts

* Cruises to operate as scheduled during bankruptcy (Adds details of sale process, company statement, byline)

By Jonathan Stempel

NEW YORK, April 1 (Reuters) - Ambassadors International Inc AMIE.O, the parent of Windstar Cruises, filed for bankruptcy protection on Friday and said it plans to sell itself to Whippoorwill Associates Inc, its largest shareholder.

Windstar operates three internationally flagged luxury yachts with sailings in the Americas including the Caribbean, and Europe including the Baltic region and the Greek Isles, according to the Chapter 11 petition filed with the U.S. bankruptcy court in Delaware.

The cruise industry has struggled as the recent economic recession caused many consumers to curb discretionary spending, including on travel.

Based in Seattle, Ambassadors said Windstar will operate its cruises as scheduled during the bankruptcy process, expected to take 45 days.

Court approval is required for a sale, which also includes assets from Ambassadors' former Majestic America Line. Those operations shut down in 2008.

Whippoorwill is a White Plains, New York-based hedge fund led by Shelley Greenhaus. It invests in bankrupt and distressed companies, and manages more than $1 billion.

According to the petition, Whippoorwill owns 22.2 percent of Ambassadors' common stock. It plans to provide $10 million of financing to help the company operate during the bankruptcy process.

Friday's filing covers Ambassadors and 11 affiliates. The company had $86.4 million of assets and $87.3 million of debts as of Dec. 1, 2010, the filing shows.

The Nasdaq halted trading in Ambassadors' shares on Friday morning for news pending. The shares closed Thursday at $2.80.

The case is In re: Ambassadors International Inc, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, District of Delaware, No. 11-11002. (Reporting by Jonathan Stempel in New York; Editing by Tim Dobbyn)

will not give the shareholders anything ("worthless"). So the stock is now extremely overbought and the price will keep falling down to
0.01 ~ 0.03 which could find a temporary bottom! MV is too high now!

Post #147

well, with Whipoorwill and Paragon affiliates
basically owning virtually all the stock and all the debt concurrently, it looks like this was just a planned inside job takeover orchestrated over
the last year.. with debt being senior to commons,
i would not expect any return on commons, they
were only purchased in order to control the
decision-making of the company.
From the last 10Q, assets / liabilities are roughly equal, and this Chapter 11 was likely
ensured over the course of the last 3 months,
as liablities were likely pushed to supercede
assets. That's all they were waiting for.
I would not touch commons with a proverbial
ten-foot pole here. Convertible debt being senior to common stock in Chapter 11, there will not even be a fight from that class (as there usually is in bk). The runup in share price was obviously not based on reality.
sorry about your loss tmonkey.
goes to show about taking profits; it's evident that this
company was intentionally driven into bankruptcy
as a takeover plan. It probably could have been a very profitable
business, and will be, which was the goal all along.
Once again, these crooks use the public markets for
their own purposes and have teams of lawyers to
make sure they get away with it.

Shell and Net Operating Loss carryforward value only
probably 10 cents.
