Carlyle Group's publicly traded mortgage bond fund failed to pay margin calls, prompting creditors to seek immediate repayment, Bloomberg News Service reported.

Shares of Carlyle Capital Corp. fell 58 percent after the company missed four of seven margin calls Wednesday totaling more than $37 million.

Carlyle Capital Corp. is a unit of Carlyle Group, which also owns Hawaiian Telcom, the state's largest telephone company.
