Magna Entertainment Corp. lost $49.1 million in the third quarter of 2008 and has hired a bankruptcy advisory firm in the wake of hundreds of millions of dollars in losses over the past four years.
In a statement accompanying the documents, Magna said it had hired Miller Buckfire & Co. "to review and evaluate various strategic alternatives including asset sales, financing, and balance-sheet restructuring opportunities."
On its website, Miller Buckfire describes itself as "delivering unbiased, strategic, and actionable advice to clients facing issues that are complex - and urgent." Most firms that Miller Buckfire is advising, according to its website, are currently in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings or emerging from bankruptcy.
