Lear plans to restructure in bankruptcy
6:17p ET July 1, 2009 (MarketWatch)
A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that Lear had filed for bankruptcy. The story has been corrected.
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) - Lear Corp. on Wednesday became the latest victim of the U.S. auto industry's drawn-out depression, as the car parts maker said it planned to file for bankruptcy and restructure its debt under court supervision.
Southfield, Mich.-based Lear said it secured $500 million in debtor-in-possession financing from a group led by J.P. Morgan and Citigroup.
"This restructuring is being undertaken to maximize the long-term value of the company," Chairman and CEO Bob Rossiter said.
"We want to assure everyone -- customers, suppliers, employees, and the communities of which we are a part -- that Lear is committed to positioning our business for sustainable success," he added in a statement.
The car-seat maker's subsidiaries outside the U.S. and Canada will not be part of the bankruptcy filing because they are "well-capitalized, well-positioned and have a strong backlog of new business," the company said.
The plan puts Lear on track to follow the lead of two other parts makers, Visteon Corp. and Metaldyne Corp., which succumbed to bankruptcy just over a month ago.
Several others have resorted to filing for Chapter 11 in recent years and more could be on the way as top automaker customers have had to slash production in the face of plunging demand.
"The collapse of auto sales is hell for the suppliers; watch for more filings," credit ratings agency Egan-Jones said. "It's clear as GM and Chrysler downsize their businesses they will continued to exert pressure on the suppliers."
Auto sales took another hit in June, with all major automakers posting double-digit percentage declines. See full story.
Lear shares fell 4% to close at 48 cents before plunging to 31 cents in extended trades.
The company employs 80,000 people across 210 facilities in 36 countries and, along with its auto-parts business, sells video and sound systems, wire harnesses, connectors and other electronic components.
