Cerberus Capital Responds To Moody's November 2009 Global Report
NEW YORK, Nov. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. ("Cerberus") issued the following statement in response to Moody's November 2009 Global Report:
Moody's report is written from the perspective of the issuers of senior debt in rated transactions. The narrow definitions of "default" and "distressed" must be taken into account when assessing Moody's conclusions. The report does not address or reflect returns to the equity investors in these transactions, nor does it address the benefits to the portfolio companies, their stockholders and, potentially, the senior lenders of restructuring and recapitalization activities in response to actual or prospective "defaults." Cerberus notes that the transactions in the Moody's report for which it acted as sponsor have to date, on an aggregate basis, produced positive returns for its investors, and that the transactions included in such report represent only a fraction of Cerberus' control portfolio.
