Title: Citadel offered lenders debt for equity: report
) offered a deal to exchange a major part of its debt for equity to senior lenders owed $2 billion, including JPMorgan Chase & Co (), GE Capital and ING Groep NV (), the Wall Street Journal said, citing people familiar with the negotiations.

On Wednesday, Citadel faced a deadline to make a $2 million interest payment, but the status remained unclear, the paper added.

Discussions have slowed in recent days in part as some lenders have been caught off-guard by Federal Communications Commission rules intended to limit concentrated holdings of media firms, the people told the paper.

Citadel could not be immediately reached for a comment by Reuters.
