NEW YORK, Jan. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- BlueMountain Capital Management, LLC ("BlueMountain"), a private diversified alternative asset management firm, today sent an open letter to the Board of Directors of PG&E Corporation and the Board of Directors of Pacific Gas and Electric Company urging them to delay plans to file for Chapter 11 until at least after the annual shareholder meeting slated for May 21.

"You have publicly stated that bankruptcy is in the best interests of all stakeholders. But you have failed to articulate a single cogent reason for why it is beneficial to any stakeholder," reads the letter. "A careful analysis will show that all stakeholders will be harmed by bankruptcy," it continues, including wildfire victims, customers, employees, suppliers, and the environment, as well as creditors.
