Judge David Jones of the US Bankruptcy Court of Southern Texas on Tuesday said he would sign an order confirming Seadrill Ltd.'s proposed Chapter 11 plan of reorganization.
美国南得克萨斯州破产法院法官大卫·琼斯(David Jones)周二表示，他将签署一项命令，确认Seadrill Ltd.提出的第11章重组计划。
The plan garnered the support of nearly all creditors, lawyers for Seadrill said in court, and foresees the offshore drilling contractor equitizing almost $5 billion of debt and exiting bankruptcy with approximately $900 million of debt.
Seadrill的律师在法庭上说，该计划获得了几乎所有债权人的支持，预计这家近海钻井承包商将等值近50亿美元的债务，并以约9亿美元的债务退出破产。
Seadrill's lawyers also announced that the company had reached an agreement with Strategic Value Partners, one of the company's creditors, over objections to how much compensation is being offered to certain Seadrill lenders in exchange for their backstop of new Seadrill borrowings under the Chapter 11 plan.
Seadrill的律师还宣布，该公司已与该公司的债权人之一Strategic Value Partners达成协议，反对向Seadrill的某些贷款人提供多少补偿，以换取他们根据破产法第11章的计划支持Seadrill的新借款。
