Wilmington Trust, a leading provider of trustee, agency, and
administrative services for institutions through its Corporate Client
Services (CCS) business, clarified its role today in litigation
involving Tropicana Entertainment, LLC and Tropicana’s
bondholders.
Wilmington Trust serves as indenture trustee in this litigation. In this
role, it acts at the direction of a majority of Tropicana’s
bondholders to administer certain provisions of the trust indenture. A
trust indenture is a formal agreement between an issuer of debt
securities and the indenture trustee, which acts on behalf of the
holders of the debt securities. Wilmington Trust derives fees for
providing trust services.
Wilmington Trust is not a lender to Tropicana Entertainment, LLC.
Litigation between Tropicana and its bondholders does not adversely
affect Wilmington Trust’s balance sheet.
