Bankruptcy Judge Approves Schramm Plan Over Debtor Objection
Schramm, headquartered near Philadelphia in West Chester, PA, is a major manufacturer of drilling rigs. In June the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection due to the “prolonged downturn” (less drilling) in the oil and gas industry (see PA Rig Manufacturer Schramm Files for Ch. 11 Bankruptcy). From the beginning of the bankruptcy process, one of the company’s biggest creditors, DNOW LP, challenged the Chapter 11 bankruptcy application--implying the bankruptcy as structured will hand over ownership to existing owners, preserving their equity in the company, at the expense of wiping out the company’s debts to companies like DNOW (see Schramm Scam? Debtor Owed Big Money Disputes Ch. 11 Sale Terms). The bankruptcy judge has just ruled--against DNOW.
