PHI, Inc. Files For Bankruptcy

Evidently, PHI, Inc. experienced significant volatility due to declines in the oil and gas industry, so much so that it reported more than $11,000,000 in losses by Q3 2018. By March 2019, a time when $500,000,000.00 in its bonds were due to mature, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
A debt restructuring process and reorganization plan ensued which by September 2019 resulted in the company emerging from bankruptcy. As a result, the company shedded $500,000,000.00 in debt. Prior unsecured creditors became the sole owners of the company’s equity subject to dilution relating to future stock issuances. The company’s CEO, Al A. Gonsoulin, has been ousted as a result of the bankruptcy.

Brokers, Advisors Possibly Sold Unsuitable, Misrepresented Bonds

Securities brokers and financial advisors who recommend investments to their clients are required to disclose important information including risks. Also, these professionals are supposed to recommend only those investments which match their clients’ investor profiles. It is possible that some securities brokers and financial advisors recommended or sold PHI, Inc. bonds at a time when they were too risky for certain investors based on their risk tolerance. Moreover, these professionals could have misrepresented or omitted facts about risks of PHI, Inc.
