Even After Bankruptcy, SFX Is Still Over $490 Million In Debt

robert sillerman robert sillerman

SFX has caught enough attention over the last few months, but its transgressions against dance music make for too juicy of a story to stop reporting. Despite filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and erasing $300 million from their debt, and despite receiving $80 million in loans, the company still owes over $490 million to creditors, with 11 of the 13 largest ‘non-insider’ creditors being companies waiting for their deferred purchase payments.

Of the $490 million, $23.6 million will go to Holland’s Alda Events, $10.7 million to Australia’s Totem OneLove Group, $5.8 million to React Presents, and $10 million to Made Events. Between these companies are several of the world’s biggest festivals, such as Spring Awakening, Summer Set, Amsterdam Music Festival, Stereosonic, and Electric Zoo. This expansive list of debt shows just how dubious TomorrowWorld‘s return is for 2016, especially with no current plans to return. While SFX lists its assets at $661.614 million and debts as $490.236 million, Sillerman and his controlled funds account for 37.8% of the company’s common stock, despite his resignation as CEO. IQ Mag has given the best interpretation of these figures:

“This means that a large proportion of SFX Entertainment’s creditors are still deeply involved in the company – and have a vested interest in seeing it continue in one form or another.”

Digital Music News has acquired a list of many other creditors to which SFX Entertainment owes substantial amounts of money.
