Item 5. Other Events
NRG Energy, Inc. announced on December 5, 2003 that it has successfully completed its Chapter 11 reorganization and has emerged from bankruptcy. NRG filed its Chapter 11 petition less than seven months earlier, on May 14. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York confirmed NRG’s Plan of Reorganization on November 24 and all conditions have been met clearing the way for NRG to emerge from Chapter 11.
Through the reorganization process, NRG eliminated corporate level debt and other claims totaling more than $6 billion. NRG emerges with $510 million of corporate debt and approximately $4.4 billion in project level debt. Under its plan of reorganization, NRG will issue 100 million shares of common stock in the reorganized company. Creditors will receive a combination of cash, common stock and $500 million of newly issued corporate notes, which are reflected in the debt totals stated above. NRG expects to announce timing of the distribution of the common shares, notes and cash shortly.
