New Fortress Energy Inc. (NFE), the parent company of legacy power plant fleet operator Genera PR, has secured overwhelming support from its creditors for a previously announced restructuring transaction, clearing a major hurdle as the company moves forward with a U.K.-based debt reorganization.

The liquefied natural gas infrastructure company said in an April 1 statement that creditors representing more than 95% of its approximately $5.8 billion in total outstanding debt have indicated support for the restructuring, which will be implemented through a consensual U.K. restructuring plan. NFE first announced the transaction on March 17.

According to the company, support includes roughly 93% of holders of its 2026 legacy notes, 87% of holders of 2029 legacy notes, and 98% of holders of 2029 new notes. The restructuring has also received backing from all lenders under the company’s Term Loan A and revolving credit facility, as well as 88% of lenders under its Term Loan B.

The company said the strong participation reflects broad agreement among creditors on the proposed transaction, which is designed to address its capital structure while allowing operations to continue uninterrupted.

To allow remaining creditors additional time to participate, NFE announced it is extending the deadline for creditors to accede to the restructuring support agreement. Creditors who submit their accession by 5 p.m. New York time on Wednesday, April 8, may still be eligible for an early consent fee, provided certain conditions are met.

As previously disclosed, NFE expects to formally launch the U.K. restructuring plan process in April. The company said it remains on track to complete the transaction by the third quarter of 2026, subject to court scheduling, regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
