VER Successful Confirmation of Chapter 11 Plan Approved

NEW YORK, July 31, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Last week, the United States Bankruptcy Court of the District of Delaware approved VER's reorganization plan under Chapter 11, advancing the VER bankruptcy which VER voluntarily filed on April 5th. Under the pre-negotiated plan, VER will emerge from bankruptcy as a subsidiary of a newly formed holding company that will own both PRG and reorganized VER which will operate as brother-sister companies. Reorganized VER will be commonly controlled by management, GSO and The Jordan Company. The transaction is expected to be completed by mid-August.

"We are pleased to receive the court's approval of VER's Chapter 11 plan," said Bob Krakauer, president of VER. "As expected, we've serviced our clients without interruption and we look forward to expanding our client relationships under a new more industry centric management."

VER has been a leading global equipment rental company for the past 35 years. Once the transaction is complete, legacy VER will go back to its roots as a business to business production equipment rental company. Clients will continue to have access to the largest inventory and widest group of industry professionals in the world.

"PRG is pleased with the court's approval of the bankruptcy plan and are looking forward to completing the process in the next few weeks," said Jere Harris, chairman and CEO of PRG.
