Skim this filing by an angry creditor.

Elliott Management, a major 2nd lien creditor, got the rights to buy 20% of Uniti at below-market prices. In exchange, they pushed this agreement. The other second lien creditors get almost nothing – probably 10 to 15¢ on the dollar; they don't get to participate in Elliott's deal.

I don't know if the unsecured creditors even get anything or not.
