Liberty宣布重组特种钢业务
Liberty announces Speciality Steel restructuring
Liberty Steel宣布了其英国特种钢（SSUK）业务的重组计划。
Liberty Steel has announced a restructuring plan for its UK-based Speciality Steel business.
Kallanish（开阑商务信息咨询）获悉，Liberty在一份声明中表示，根据2006年《公司法》第26A部分进行的“变革性”重组，是公司恢复和长期发展战略的重要一步。
The "transformative" restructuring, under Part 26A of the Companies Act 2006, is a major step in the company’s recovery and long-term growth strategy, Liberty says in a statement seen by Kallanish.
该公司补充说，SSUK已获得其主要客户对该计划的支持，而所有债权人都将收到一份详细的提案，并将有机会对该计划进行投票。
It adds SSUK has secured support for the plan from its major customers, while all creditors will be presented with a detailed proposal and will have the opportunity to vote on the plan.
一旦实施，SSUK将能更好地吸引新资本，并进一步将其业务扩展到具有环保意识产品的战略钢铁细分市场。
Once implemented, SSUK will be better positioned to attract new capital and further expand its operations into strategic steel segments with environmentally conscious products.
Liberty Steel集团首席转型官Jeffrey Kabel说：“在稳定业务并重新聚焦于高价值专业产品方面取得重大进展后，我们现在正在解决公司的债务问题，以创建一个更强大的专业业务。”
Jeffrey Kabel, Liberty Steel group chief transformation officer, says: “After making significant progress to stabilise the business and refocus it on high value specialist products, we’re now addressing the debt position of the company to create a stronger speciality business going forward."
他补充说：“我们有信心赢得债权人的支持，采取完成SSUK恢复所需的必要行动。”
“We’re confident in winning the support of our creditors for the essential actions required to complete SSUK’s recovery,” he adds.
该公司补充说，拟议计划对SSUK员工没有影响。
The company adds the proposed plan has no impact on SSUK employees.
声明指出，SSUK在航空航天、国防和能源领域的参与有助于缓解钢铁行业面临的高能源成本挑战。然而，由于Greensill Capital的债务，该公司的资产负债表杠杆过高，阻碍了其生存能力。
The statement notes that SSUK’s participation in the aerospace, defence and energy sectors has helped mitigate steel industry challenges of high energy costs. The business has nevertheless been burdened by a highly leveraged balance sheet due to debt from Greensill Capital, which has hindered its viability.
该公司补充说，拟议的重组计划旨在大幅减少SSUK的债务，使其成为恢复业务的最有效途径，避免破产程序给债权人和员工带来不确定性。
It adds that the proposed restructuring plan is designed to significantly reduce SSUK’s debt, making it the most effective pathway to recover the business and avoid an insolvency process that would create uncertainty for its creditors and employees.
该公司表示，SSUK客户的支持确保了其订单在整个重组期间保持稳定，而债权人债权的妥协将为该公司改善现金状况和开始偿还债务提供必要的时间。
The backing from SSUK’s customers ensures that its order book remains stable throughout the restructuring period, while the compromise of creditors’ claims will provide the necessary time for the business to improve its cash position and begin repaying its debts, it says.
