Trinity was granted a $28.3 million claim in the bankruptcy and elected to receive shares of Core’s common stock in satisfaction of that claim.
The 5,640,373 shares received were sold at a weighted average price per share of $5.13, resulting in total proceeds of $29 million. After the sale of the common stock, the internal rate of return on the initial investment was 17.7%, including loan interest payments received.
