Title: GM won't make $1B June debt payment
Post by: Bindare_Dundat on April 23, 2009, 08:28:54 AM: June payment would be due a day after government's deadline for company to submit restructuring or bankruptcy plan.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- General Motors won't be making a June 1 debt payment of $1 billion, a company spokeswoman said Wednesday.

The debt is due the day after GM's government-imposed May 30 deadline to have an aggressive restructuring plan in place or be left to face bankruptcy.

GM (GM, Fortune 500) said it wouldn't make the June 1 payment because as part of its restructuring, the company will be offering to exchange bondholder's debt for equity in the company.

"We're going to have an exchange offer open anyway," said GM spokeswoman Julie Gibson.

A press representative for GM bondholders was not immediately available to comment.
