Text

Conseco executives clearly disagree. They insist that they have already taken aggressive action to bring down debt, and they say the company plans to raise an additional $750 million through the sale of portions of its insurance business and other assets. The company has also repurchased $266 million in bonds at a 30% discount in the secondary market. "Liquidity is not an issue," says Conseco's current chief executive, Gary C. Wendt. But having already sold $1 .6 billion in assets —and with an additional $6 billion— in debt still on the books—some investors and analysts wonder whether Wendt will ultimately run out of things to sell. "There're hardly any assets left there," notes Devine.
