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.
美國南得克薩斯州破產法院法官大衞·瓊斯(David Jones)週二表示，他將簽署一項命令，確認Seadrill Ltd.提出的第11章重組計劃。
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的律師在法庭上説，該計劃獲得了幾乎所有債權人的支持，預計這家近海鑽井承包商將等值近50億美元的債務，並以約9億美元的債務退出破產。
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的律師還宣佈，該公司已與該公司的債權人之一Strategic Value Partners達成協議，反對向Seadrill的某些貸款人提供多少補償，以換取他們根據破產法第11章的計劃支持Seadrill的新借款。
