Paul, Weiss advised Preferred Sands, a leading producer of sand and resin coated proppants, in connection with a comprehensive restructuring transaction that included the restructuring of the Company’s indebtedness of more than $1.5 billion. The Paul, Weiss team led a successful out-of-court restructuring effort that required the support of 100% of the holders of the Company’s funded indebtedness, issued by the Company’s two credit silos. The restructuring also included the carve out of certain of Preferred Sands’ in-basin production assets into a new entity, Signal Peak Silica, LLC, and the robust recapitalization of both entities.
