The offer increases the options available to the board as it works through restructuring and a possible pre-packaged bankruptcy, which CIT is negotiating with bondholders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur proposal provides CIT increased liquidity, without the complexity of additional debt. This allows them to address short-term challenges and extend the time period with which to deal with bondholders.  We think that the core of the CIT franchise is fundamentally sound and simply needs the benefit of increasing consumer economic activity,\u201d said Lorenzo Ortega III, CIO of logi.  \u201cIt would be damaging to small businesses nationwide, and CIT\u2019s shareholders, if the company was unable to avoid bankruptcy.  What we are proposing is to be part of the solution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>logi Energy has offered in excess of $1B for a portion of CIT\u2019s debt portfolio and anticipates closing a transaction within 30 days of acceptance of the proposal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe think we could also provide opportunity for other purchases from CIT\u201d said Ortega.<\/p>\n<p>logi Energy is a group of financial and engineering professionals with substantial experience in finance, oil and gas exploration and production, large projects and Energy. logi Energy has formed The Peak Oil Value Fund, a focused hedge fund to purchase interests in, and provide operating capital to, strategically valued, public and private oil, gas and energy-centric companies.<\/p>\n<p>Editing by Alex Akesson<br \/>\nFor HedgeCo.net<br \/>\n<a href=\"..\/10\/10\/10\/10\/10\/10\/10\/10\/10\/10\/10\/10\/10\/2009\/alex@hedgeco.net\">alex@hedgeco.net<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"hedge fund\" href=\"..\/10\/10\/10\/10\/10\/10\/10\/10\/10\/10\/10\/\">HedgeCo.Net<\/a> is a premier <a title=\"hedge fund database\" href=\"..\/10\/10\/10\/10\/10\/10\/10\/10\/10\/10\/10\/\">hedge fund database<\/a> and community for qualified and accredited investors only.
