RadioShack investor urges lender repayment, says it will help

New York -- A report by Bloomberg said that investor BlueCrest Capital Management is urging RadioShack to repay the lenders that are blocking plans to shutter stores.



The electronics retailer announced last March that it would close 1,100 stores; it later reduced the number of closures to 200 per year for three years after negotiations with lenders failed.



BlueCrest said it supported the company's decision to shut stores to stem losses and was willing to provide financing, Bloomberg said.
