Walter Energy, Inc.has closed on the sale of substantially all of its core assets, comprising its Alabama coal assets, to Warrior Met Coal, LLC (formerly known as Coal Acquisition LLC), an entity owned by the company’s first lien creditors.
On January 8, 2016, the Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Alabama entered an order approving the sale pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code and entry into an asset purchase agreement setting forth the terms of the sale transaction, after a court-supervised auction process.
With the close of this transaction, Walter Energy has transferred ownership of virtually all of its U.S. operating assets to third parties under the court-supervised sale process. Earlier this year it completed the sale of its non-core U.S. assets to Seminole Coal Resources, LLC, ERP Compliant Coke, LLC and ERP Environmental Fund, Inc., all affiliates of ERP Compliant Fuels, LLC and Virginia Conservation Legacy Fund, Inc.
Walter Energy’s remaining assets include Walter Energy Canada Holdings, Inc. (Walter Canada). On December 7, 2015, Walter Canada obtained creditor protection under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act pursuant to an initial order granted by the Supreme Court of British Columbia located in Vancouver, B.C.
