PICKERING, Ontario-Clearnet Communications Inc. received consent from its noteholders for its wholly owned subsidiary, Clearnet PCS Inc., to borrow under vendor financing agreements to build out its personal communications services network.
The company said financing of about $353 million will be provided by Lucent Technologies Inc. along with its Canadian subsidiary, Lucent Technologies Canada Inc.
More than 90 percent of the noteholders of the senior discount notes issued in December 1995, agreed to amend the definition of “vendor financing arrangements,” as well as certain restrictive covenants in the indenture to permit the loan and security arrangements between Lucent and Clearnet, the company said.
