Borders Group Confronts Crucial Deadline
On Thursday, Borders Group must confront a deadline on a $42.5-million loan. As that fateful day approaches, publishing commentators around the Internet have shared opinions.
A Detroit Free Press article speculated over the weekend: “The $42.5-million loan due to Pershing Square Capital Management–made in 2008 at 9.8 percent interest–has already been extended three times. And despite assurances from Pershing that a bankruptcy is unlikely, concerns about a filing persist.”

Forbes speculated that the company “could sell a stake to another investor.”
