Brightline adds a credit test
In a September 25, 2026 release, Business Wire said Assured Guaranty committed USD 70 million of additional senior debt in a USD 490 million Brightline Florida financing package. The company also agreed to provide up to USD 178 million of post-petition funding during the restructuring.
The Q2 transcript identified a USD 19 million mark-to-market loss on a collateralized loan obligation equity fund, which contributed to a USD 10 million adjusted operating loss in the financial guaranty segment.
