Chemtura Corp (fka CHMT)

[oaps222]

Gentlefolk,

It is very interesting!! Those eight (Midwood Holdings, LLC, Midwood, LP, Nasgovitz, William J., Strategic Value Partners, LLC, Strategic Value Special Situations, Master Fund, L.P., SVP Special Situations LLC, and Victor Khosla) are all related to the SVP, which is one of our EC members.

Does it mean that the SVP and its associates are holding more than 40% of the Chemtura common shares? Was that the reason that Mr. Jay Goffman (lead attorney for Skadden Arps, counsel for Equity Security Holders) confidently spoke, " ... We've already told the debtors' management that we're highly confident that we can refinance the entire capital structure, preserving the equity intact..."??? (See Post #57939 for details).

To try to get some connections, I revisited our old posts:

Victor Khosla owns 45.23% of Chemtura's common shares... along with the retail Chemtura Shareholders Alliance 23+ million shares... puts us over 50% ownership and able to control voting on corporate matters. IMO
