New Fortress Energy LLCCompleted restructuring cut New NFE debt to $700M from $5.7B and raised $136.5M in new financing, leaving a simpler company with cash-generating LNG and power assets.

New Fortress Energy said Friday it completed its restructuring and recapitalization transaction, cutting its debt to $700M from $5.7B, and trading in its shares was halted. The transaction extinguished roughly $5.7B of third-party debt, with creditors receiving all the equity of BrazilCo, preferred equity of New NFE with $2.45B of liquidation preference, 65% of the common equity of New NFE, and $571.3M of New NFE term loans. As part of the completion, the company's Brazilian business and operations were separated into two distinct standalone enterprises, BrazilCo and New NFE, and New NFE also raised $136.5M in new financing. CEO Wes Edens said the UK RP restructuring leaves New NFE a much simpler, more streamlined company owning a portfolio of critical LNG and power assets, including a substantial and growing LNG portfolio, terminal operations and logistics in Mexico and Puerto Rico, and a 735 MW power and turbine portfolio. Edens said those assets and operations produce significant cash flow today and offer the opportunity for significant growth when fully deployed in the coming months.

BrazilCo was separated out as a standalone enterprise and received the Brazilian business, but the article gives no standalone financial detail to judge its impact.
