Garrett Motion Consensual Plan of Reorganization Receives Court Approval


Garrett Motion Inc. ("Garrett") today announced that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York has confirmed the Company's Plan of Reorganization ("Plan"), positioning Garrett to complete the implementation of the Plan, led by funds managed by Centerbridge Partners, L.P. ("Centerbridge") and Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. ("Oaktree"). Garrett expects that effective date will occur as soon as all conditions precedent to the Plan have been satisfied, and is currently targeting emergence by April 30, 2021.

The Plan received the overwhelming support of all voting classes, including 100% of the bank lenders, 100% of the bondholders and 94% of stockholders who voted on the Plan.

Olivier Rabiller, President and Chief Executive Officer of Garrett, said, "We are pleased to have achieved this important milestone with the support of our creditors, stockholders, Centerbridge and Oaktree, which clears the way to complete our financial restructuring process. We look forward to the prospect of emerging soon as a stronger company that we believe will be even better positioned to accelerate the development of differentiated technologies and enhance our global customer experience."

"I want to thank our customers and suppliers for their support during this process, and our employees for their dedication, which enabled us to provide continued support to our customers as the restructuring progressed," Rabiller added.

The Plan infuses significant equity capital into the Garrett's capital structure in the form of approximately $1.3 billion in new Series A Preferred Stock. It also settles existing litigation with Honeywell and restructures financial obligations transferred to Garrett at the time of its spinoff. Garrett has also obtained $1.55 billion of committed debt financing, including a $1.25 billion-equivalent term loan and a new $300 million exit revolving facility. In addition to the support of creditors and stockholders, the Plan also received the support of Honeywell, the Official Creditors Committee and the Official Equity Committee.
