Mercer International is trading 12.6% down at $0.21, with no new company announcement identified to explain the October 12 decline.
- The broader market was mixed rather than sharply lower.
- On October 2, Mercer disclosed it skipped an approximately $25.8 million interest payment while entering advanced recapitalization discussions with noteholders.
- The filing says it is using a 30-day grace period; available evidence does not establish that the earlier news directly caused the October 12 move.
