the situation became so dire that the penguins were forced to declare bankruptcy in november 1998. for most of the 1998–99 nhl season, it looked like the penguins would either move out of town or fold altogether. at this point, lemieux stepped in with an unusual proposal to buy the team. years of deferred salaries, adding up to $32.5 million, had made him the penguins' largest creditor. he proposed to convert $20 million of his deferred salary into equity, with another $5 million in cash, enough to give him controlling interest. he also promised to keep the team in pittsburgh. the us bankruptcy court gave preliminary approval to lemieux's bid on june 24 lemieux later said that he would have put in a bid even if he had not been owed the deferred salary. the nhl's board of governors approved his application for ownership on september 1, 1999. two days later, after lemieux cut a deal with fox sports pittsburgh (the penguins' tv broadcaster) and spectacor management group (which operated the civic arena), the court gave final approval to lemieux's reorganization plan, allowing him to formally assume control. this made the then-retired star the first former nhl player to become majority owner of his former team. lemieux assumed the posts of president, chairman and ceo of the penguins.
