Thread regarding Sungard Availability Services layoffs

Turn out the lights

New board member with a history of bankruptcy in his background does not look good for the useless management team at SGAS. It won't be long now, no one put a meaningful bid in since the place has been on the market, only a few low ball offers to catch the knife before it fell into bankruptcy. Look forward to the vultures picking at the carcass while the management team that can't grow cloud business offerings in the most historic technology growth market of our time, takes their severance and moves on to the next company that doesn't hold you accountable for your results.

because it takes ten seconds to google search someone and understand what they do, where they've been and what the outcome has been, I'm sure they don't want even more people heading for the exits. CEO hasn't made decisions in years, operating board member was forced in by the board, operating board member brought in useless sales lead with absolute zero track record of success at last 5 companies, another board seat had to be given up to get loan at credit card interest rates for last funding, and now another board seat to begin dissolving the place, remember, you never hear the bullet

Is the company dead ...yes, but we have time. Not sure it will be a good place to work, trust me it won't less to do more. It will s---. See the facts below. We will default on the loans for sure that is a fact. And no how no way we we get bailed out by a bank again. Just matter of time. Moody's rate us at negative outlook and we will default. Don't let anyone try a snow you.

. The nearest maturing debt is the $470.8 million term loan due September 2021, followed by the $425 million senior unsecured notes due April 2022 and $425 million term loan due October 2022.

While the OP maybe right in analyzing the direction of SunGard, the timeline is difficult to lay out. It might be April 2019 or April 2020. I'd take any dates in this forum with a grain of salt. You can read all the articles you'd like and speculate all you want but in the end it goes down to numbers. Not saying this as a shill for SunGard but trying to time a sell-off is a fool's endeavor - it will happen when the numbers dictate.

Simple. Selling more facilities, more layoffs and offshoring and then chapter 11.
