But nothing in the space sector is cheap to do and some of those operators, like Avanti, have been struggling to manage a growing mountain of debt.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that Avanti has found a way to turn hedge funds into significant shareholders to help reduce their debt and free up flexibility for future development. Funds (or subsidiaries of such funds) and\/or accounts managed, advised or controlled by HPS Investment Partners LLC or affiliates\/subsidiaries thereof, and Solus Alternative Asset Management LP, will now become the principal shareholders.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Kyle Whitehill, Avanti CEO, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Today\u2019s completion of our planned financial recapitalisation marks a major milestone in Avanti\u2019s transformation as a business.
