With Mobilicity’s hopes that it would be acquired by TELUS having been dashed by the Canadian government earlier this month, the beleaguered carrier is now hoping to switch gears with the proverbial Plan B, a recapitalization plan that will see the carrier reorganized in a bid to allow it to continue operating.
Part of the plan will likely involve the sale of some private shares to free up “additional liquidity to enable it to continue as a going concern.”
Mobilicity announced yesterday that the debtholders vote was being pushed back from June 25th to July 3rd. Moving the vote “will allow stakeholders the opportunity to review Industry Canada guidelines, regarding the transfer of wireless spectrum, prior to the vote. The guidelines are anticipated to be provided by the end of June.”
Will Mobilicity still be around in a year’s time? Let us know below what you think.
