Long time telecom player, and phone card provider, Primus Telecommunications Group Inc. filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection this week in Delaware bankruptcy court. They had been on financial hard times the last few years and had been managing to make ends meet these last few years since their big tumble in 2006 but were no longer able to stay afloat with a huge mounting debt. Hoping to find some relief from creditors and have a chance at restructuring they finally decided to go into chapter 11. It is important to note that the company does plan to try and restructure and is not necessarily heading into chapter 7. They have given a timeline of about 120 days to complete their restructuring.
Their main businesses include carrier wholesale, phone cards (small), home VOIP service (lingo) and various other VOIP based business offerings. Their 4th quarter 2008 net revenues were reported at 203 million and close to 1 billion in liabilities. The filing did not include their separate sub business entities in Europe, Australia, Brazil, India and Canada.
