Anadarko Petroleum Corp. And Tronox Incorporated Trial Halted For Settlement Talks-Reuters
Reuters reported that a trial between oil and gas producer Anadarko Petroleum Corp. and paint materials company Tronox Incorporated has been adjourned for one week so the two companies can try to hammer out a settlement of their $25 billion dispute, according to a court filing. The trial will now resume on July 24, according to the judge's ruling. The two companies are locked in a battle in New York bankruptcy court over environmental liabilities related to the spinoff of Tronox from Kerr-McGee Corp, which was purchased by Anadarko. Tronox, which filed for bankruptcy in 2009, makes titanium dioxide used in paints and has argued its spinoff was fraudulent because of environmental liabilities that made the company insolvent. It has said Anadarko should pay for environmental clean-up at more than 2,000 polluted sites in the United States. It is seeking $15 billion in assets and $10 billion in interest payments from Anadarko. Tronox emerged from bankruptcy in February 2011 after a battle among creditors over payouts, and new Tronox shares now trade on the New York Stock Exchange. The litigation trust, which has been joined by U.S. Department of Justice and the Environmental Protection Agency in the case, represents current and future claimants against the estate for environmental and other liabilities, including more than 8,000 tort claims.
