Times Staff and Wire Reports
Billionaire investor Carl Icahn has offered to buy certain classes of debt from CIT Group Inc. bondholders as he tries to defeat a restructuring plan by the commercial lender.
Icahn said in a letter that he would pay those bondholders 60 cents on the dollar for their bonds if they agreed to reject New York-based CIT’s debt restructuring plan.
