摘要

Debt swaps are a fastgrowing business, as scores of companies struggling with massive obligations from the leveraged-buyout boom look to lighten their load. But the recent experience of Harrah's Entertainment, the Las Vegas-based gaming company taken private in January 2008 in a $31.2 billion buyout by Apollo Management and TPG Group, suggests that such engineering is no panacea for financial trouble.rnHarrah's, grappling with $25.1 billion in long-term debt, went to creditors in November to seek easier terms. The company ended up accepting $2.1 billion of debt that investors offered to swap, thereby helping reduce the odds of a cash squeeze in 2010. The offer, which was completed in December after some negotiation and revision, proposed that Harrah's buy back some of its longer-maturity bonds at prices ranging from 40 cents to 80 cents on the dollar. The deal essentially turned on whether creditors believed that a bankruptcy filing was imminent. In the end investors appeared skeptical that the company was that close to insolvency, and Harrah's ended up reducing its debt by $885 million, according to Chris Snow, an analyst at research firm CreditSights in New York.
