(Reuters) - Shares of power producer PG&E Corp jumped on Monday after a Bloomberg News report said an investor group had offered the company a $4 billion alternative plan that would avoid bankruptcy, according to a CNBC report https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/28/pge-shares-rise-15percent-following-report-of-4-billion-plan-to-avert-bankruptcy-stock-halted.html on Monday.
PG&E said this month it plans to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after coming under pressure from potentially crushing liabilities linked to California's wildfires in 2017 and 2018.
PG&E shares were last higher by 4.8 percent after rising as much as 15 percent earlier.
