Peabody Energy says closer to bankruptcy exit as coal prices rise
Nov. 23, 2016 5:55 PM ET|About: Peabody Energy Corp. (BTUUQ)|By: Carl Surran, SA News Editor


Peabody Energy (OTCPK:BTUUQ) says it is closer to exiting bankruptcy, with a debt dispute between creditors fizzling as the recent increase in coal prices improves the chances for recovery.

BTU filed for Chapter 11 protection in April after a sharp decline in coal prices left it unable to service $10B of debt, but prices for coal used to generate power and make steel have surged, meaning that secured lenders such as Citibank are now likely to recoup their investment, making a legal battle over how to treat long-term debt in calculating BTU's assets largely irrelevant.

BTU now says it is working to resolve the dispute that pitted its secured lenders against unsecured creditors, and expects to file its reorganization plan by mid-December and exit bankruptcy by April.
