The repeated short-term extensions (now through Oct 8) signal that lenders are keeping the company on a very short leash while a strategic transaction is negotiated. If no deal is announced by Oct 8, the next extension or default event will be the key catalyst. Monitor for any 8-K announcing a definitive agreement or, alternatively, a bankruptcy filing.
