The Disclosure Statement states, “The Restructuring will leave the Debtors’ businesses intact and will substantially deleverage the Debtors’ capital structure. The Debtors’ balance sheet liabilities will be reduced from approximately $1.9 billion in secured and unsecured debt to approximately $281 million in secured debt, which represents a reduction of debt on the Effective Date of over 85% relative to the Petition Date. This deleveraging will enhance the Debtors’ long-term growth prospects and competitive position and allow the Debtors to emerge from the Chapter 11 Cases as a stronger company, better positioned to deliver value to its customers. The Plan contemplates the distribution of New Common Stock to the Debtors’ prepetition secured lenders (90% on account of Allowed First Lien Debt Claims and 10% on account of Allowed Second Lien Debt Claims, each subject to dilution by the Management Incentive Plan) and no impairment to the Debtors’ other creditors, except the NCS Rejection Claims and the General Unsecured PDM Claims. Further below is a short summary of the treatment of various creditor groups under the Plan.”
