Ultra Petroleum Responds to Make-Whole Ruling
September 22 2017 - 12:00AM
Ultra Petroleum Corp. (NASDAQ:UPL) confirmed that late yesterday,
the bankruptcy court overseeing its earlier restructuring
proceedings denied the Company’s objection to certain make-whole
and post-petition interest claims that remained following its
emergence from chapter 11.
"We are disappointed and strongly disagree with
the ruling. We are reviewing the opinion with our legal
counsel and are considering all of our options, including an
immediate appeal," said Michael D. Watford, President, Chairman and
CEO.
Amounts potentially payable as a result of this
ruling were previously set aside in a restricted account in
mid-April. As a result, even if the ruling stands, there will be no
financial or liquidity impact to the company as all amounts were
previously fully reserved.
