Analysis · NFE · Energy & Transportation
The comprehensive restructuring was consummated on September 11, 2026, splitting New Fortress Energy into two independent companies: CoreCo, which retains the non-Brazil assets, and BrazilCo, which holds the Brazilian operations. The deal terminated approximately $1.1 billion of existing debt and replaced it with $571.3 million in take-back term loans, $136.5 million in new capital raise loans, $400 million in FLNG 2 term loans, and $200 million in FLNG 2 preferred equity. Plan Creditors received 65% of CoreCo common stock (10,608,922 shares) and 2,454,936 shares of mandatorily convertible preferred stock, leaving existing stockholders with 35%. The 1-for-50 reverse stock split also became effective today. This is the culmination of a months-long restructuring that removes going-concern risk but massively dilutes existing shareholders and transfers majority ownership to former creditors.
