Pinnacle Investors Say No to $545M Reorganization Plan

MIAMI-Pinnacle Holdings Inc.’s $545 million bankruptcy plan has taken an unexpected turn as the potential investors backed away from the initial proposal.

The previous plan by the Sarasota, FL-based developer of cell telephone sites called for two new sources of equity capital, Fortress Investment Group LLC and Greenhill Capital Partners, both of New York, for $205 million along with a $340 million credit facility.

A prepared statement from Pinnacle claims it was the planned credit facility that made investing companies balk at the deal. Investors expressed concern over the current market conditions, particularly for telecommunications, the statement says.
