JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- Trucking and marine freight services company Trailer Bridge Inc. said Tuesday it has repurchased $1 million of its 9.25 percent senior secured notes maturing on Nov. 15, 2011, at $0.905 cents on the dollar.
The transaction will be accounted for as a $1 million retirement of debt.
The $95,000 difference between the retirement price and the carrying amount will be recorded as an ordinary gain on extinguishment of debt, the company said in a statement.
