Posted on November 9, 2009 at 10:07 am

Nashville investment vehicle Southern Strategic Partners says it and other holders of Newcastle Investment Corp. preferred stock aren’t getting a fair deal in the real estate investment trust’s $150 million repurchase plan. Newcastle (Ticker: NCT) has been posting some pretty ugly results of late and is looking to restructure its balance sheet.

“While we could be supportive of a restructuring of Newcastle, we cannot support the current proposal because it fails to recognize the preferred stock’s priority position in the capital structure and does not offer preferred stockholders common stock or warrants to purchase common stock as part of the tender.”
