美國法院即將決定委內瑞拉旗下煉油廠Citgo母公司拍賣底價

休斯敦消息——美國法院預計在未來數日內,確認或否決Contrarian Funds旗下Red Tree Investments提出的37億美元收購報價,該報價旨在為委內瑞拉擁有的煉油商Citgo母公司的股份拍賣設定底價。

此前,追討Citgo債務的債權人在週四的聽證會中陳述了各自觀點。Citgo為美國第七大煉油商,而其母公司PDV Holding正被拍賣,以償還委內瑞拉及其國家石油公司PDVSA高達210億美元的債務。

Red Tree Investments的報價獲得了負責監督拍賣程序的法院官員Robert Pincus上月推薦,隨即引發了16名債權人之間的激烈爭奪。這場長達八年的法院案件,旨在補償因委內瑞拉債務違約和資產國有化而受損的公司與債券持有人。

支持Red Tree出價的債權人包括礦業公司Crystallex和石油生產商Conoco Phillips(NYSE: COP),若Red Tree最終勝出拍賣,他們將從中獲益。然而,優先級較低的債權人則反對該報價,認為金額過低且方案過於複雜。

特拉華州法官Leonard Stark本週早些時候提交文件,表示傾向接受Pincus的建議,主要因為該報價有較高的成交確定性。

週四聽證會上,Stark聽取了債權人的意見。去年,債權人曾拒絕對沖基金Elliott Investment Management旗下機構提出的73億美元更高報價,原因是付款條件存在限制。

多位債權人及代表委內瑞拉的律師指出,若本輪拍賣以如此低價開局,將難以達到Citgo目標的70億至80億美元估值。

Red Tree的「底價出價」(stalking horse bid)中包含一項協議,承諾向Citgo最終母公司、總部位於加拉加斯的PDVSA發行的債券持有人付款。此舉將消除拍賣中的主要障礙,因為必須支付債券持有人以解押Citgo股權的抵押品,但同時也會使拍賣收益減少約30億美元。

由於方案複雜,部分債權人擔心Red Tree的報價會使得在法官選定底價後30天內評估其他競標報價變得困難。

「選擇Red Tree的報價將會阻礙其他競標者提出更高報價的可能性,」代表礦業公司Gold Reserve的律師在聽證會上表示。

由Gold Reserve子公司、美國企業集團Koch旗下單位及Rusoro Mining組成的財團,曾提交71億美元報價,但Pincus不建議接受,理由是該交易的成交存在不確定性。

Gold Reserve的律師對Pincus的說法提出異議,該財團提出計劃成立新公司,借款並在交易完成後與Citgo合併。

Pincus的律師則表示,法院希望看到激烈競爭,而價格將是最終決定勝出報價的關鍵因素。

評論與啟示

這場拍賣不僅是對委內瑞拉龐大債務危機的直接回應,更是國際債權人與國家主權債務糾紛中罕見的複雜案例。Red Tree的37億美元報價雖然被看作是「底價」,但與此前高達70億美元的目標估值相去甚遠,反映出市場對於委內瑞拉資產價值的深刻分歧。

案件中,如何平衡拍賣的確定性與最大化債權人利益,是法庭面臨的巨大挑戰。Red Tree承諾支付PDVSA債券持有人的安排,雖然能促成交易順利進行,但卻大幅削減了其他債權人的收益空間,這種妥協是否合理,值得深思。

此外,債權人之間的利益矛盾和法律策略的博弈,凸顯了國際資本市場在處理主權債務問題時的複雜性和不確定性。對香港及全球投資者而言,此案提醒我們在評估此類高風險資產時,除了估值,更要仔細考量政治、法律及執行風險。

最後,這場拍賣的結果將對國際能源市場和主權債務重組產生深遠影響,值得持續關注。

Create a cinematic, studio-quality close-up portrait (9:16 aspect ratio, 4K resolution) of a young East Asian woman on a winter afternoon in Taipei. She stands at the entrance plaza of a bustling shopping mall, bathed in the soft, golden glow of the warm winter sun. She wears a stylish white cocktail dress with a short skirt, her look elegant yet youthful.

Her pose is playful and animated: she raises both hands joyfully above her head, holding a handmade cardboard sign. Written in bold strokes of black marker, the sign reads: "TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY." Her facial expression is a beautiful blend of joy and gentle shyness—her sparkling eyes and slight blush convey excitement and a touch of bashfulness.

The background subtly hints at the urban Taipei atmosphere, with softly blurred neon signs, modern architecture, and passersby dressed for the season, adding depth and authenticity. Capture delicate details: sunlight warming her skin, the gentle flow of her hair, and the texture of the handwritten sign. The overall mood is warm, festive, and inviting—a true cinematic moment infused with personality and charm.

She wears a pair of classic black high heels, elevating her posture and emphasizing her elongated legs. The background is a seamless, pure white studio backdrop, providing a clean and minimalist aesthetic that directs full focus to her form and attire. *** The lighting setup is soft, evenly distributed, with a diffused key light positioned to the left, casting gentle shadows that sculpt her contours and highlight the intricate lace pattern of her tights. The overall color palette is monochromatic, emphasizing blacks and whites to create a timeless, sophisticated mood. The composition is carefully balanced, capturing her from the waist up in a slightly angled pose that accentuates her curves and confidence. Use a professional camera with a 85mm or 50mm lens at wide aperture (f/1.8 to f/2.😎 for a shallow depth of field, ensuring crisp detail on her outfit and pose while softly blurring the background.
