According to the report, a restructuring support agreement announced Nov. 13 requires new financing backed by existing creditors, in addition to $165 million in new equity investments from its parent company, Ares Management Corp., as well as the Carlyle Group and Brigade Capital Management.
Moody's Investor Service explained that the coronavirus shutdown has hit nonessential retailers hard, and Guitar Center was particularly vulnerable because musical instruments are a highly discretionary purchase.
The company's stores were shut down in mid-March when the pandemic began in earnest. Since then, the Times reported, it has reopened some locations while maintaining online operations.
