This clearly means that all the compan'y assets will be put up for sale either individually or in total, so this is really a liquidation scenario and not a workout. The sale proceeds are going to have to be north of a sum that totals bank debt owed to CS et al, plus trade and other creditors pre filing, plus drawings under the DIP facility plus creditors post filing plus legal and advisory fees etc before shareholders receive anything.

But then think how much all the institutional holders(ca. 1/5of total shs) will lose. They never sold. Walter never sold. What does that mean?  GLTA J.

How do we know that any institutions own stock, I would have thought they all exited long ago. What Walter thinks, wants or does is now irrelevant. Tuscany is already too small to operate effectively as an international drilling company spread across three countries.
