MARVEL Entertainment Group Inc said yesterday it filed for Chapter II bankruptcy to get $525 million in new capital under a plan that gives investor Ron Perelman even greater control of the struggling comic book company.
Mr Perelman, who owns about 80.2 per cent of Marvel, last month threatened the company's bondholders with the bankruptcy filing unless they approved the reorganisation plan, which massively dilutes public stockholders' ownership of Marvel.
