Carlisle Capital on Verge of Collapse...

Carlyle Capital, managed by private-equity firm Carlyle Group LLC, says it expects its lenders will soon seize "substantially all" of its remaining assets after banks including Deutsche Bank (DB) and J.P. Morgan (JPM) refused to extend it new financing terms.

The firm's leveraged $22B portfolio consists entirely of securities issued by government-sponsored lenders Fannie Mae (FNM) and Freddie Mac (FRE), the value of which has plummeted in recent weeks.
