The bank debt for the bankrupt Outsourcing Solutions is beginning to regain ground in the secondary market. Market players said the name traded as high as 56-57 this week after being quoted by LoanX in the mid 40s last week. It could not be determined if any trades were completed at last week's levels. The company is said to be winding up bankruptcy proceedings with a confirmation hearing set for Sept. 30. About 80% of the bank group is committed to the reorganization plan at this point, noted one trader. Calls to Gary Weller, corporate executive v.p. and cfo of Outsourcing Solutions, were not returned.
