McDermott exits Chapter 11 reorganization, closes Lummus sale

McDermott International Inc. has emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the company announced June 30.

The reorganization, which began in January, equitized most of the company's $4.6 billion of funded debt, leaving the oil and gas equipment and services company to exit with $2.4 billion in credit letter capacity and $544 million of funded debt, according to a same day news release.

In line with McDermott's restructuring plan, the company completed the previously agreed-upon sale of Lummus Technology LLC to a joint partnership between a flagship company of The Chatterjee Group and Rhône Group L.L.C. Proceeds from the sale will be used to fully repay debtor-in-possession financing, fund emergence costs and provide cash to the company's balance sheet.

The closing of the sale establishes Lummus as a standalone company, Lummus said in a separate news release.

In addition, McDermott is moving forward with a new board of directors, effective immediately. The new board includes David Dickson, who is currently CEO and president and Nils Larsen, who will serve as lead director.

Kirkland & Ellis LLP is serving as legal counsel to McDermott. Evercore Group LLC is acting as financial adviser, and AP services LLC is operational adviser.
