Satellite TV giant DirecTV called off its deal with Charlie Ergen’s EchoStar to acquire rival Dish TV and other assets.
In addition, Dish bondholders had to agree to exchange their debt for new debt in the merged company at a discounted rate, taking a haircut of roughly $1.57 billion on the debt. Dish bondholders recently rejected that proposal.“We have terminated the transaction because the proposed exchange terms were necessary to protect DirecTV’s balance sheet and our operational flexibility,” Bill Morrow, CEO of DirecTV, said Thursday.
