The new Phoenix Global was introduced to the world today, and the world welcomed us with open arms. 

During the months we have spent reorganizing, we have looked at every aspect of our company and determined six major pillars of strength where we differentiate from competitors: 

·         Global presence  

·         Capabilities in more than just steel 

·         Investment in technology 

·         Smart capital 

·         Environmental intelligence 

·         Proven & proprietary methodology 

As we restructured the company financially, we reimagined ourselves in multiple ways. The most visible is a completely revamped look that incorporates our six areas of strength. 

The New Look 

The most notable and distinguishing component of our new brand is the mark in our logo. It is sleek, strong, stylish, and symbolic. It boldly identifies and characterizes us, while setting us apart with it’s unique, professional look. 

As of today, we are Phoenix Global. 

Our heritage name, Phoenix Services, restricted us and put in a box with our competition that we are clearly beyond. We provide so much more than just “services.”  

Phoenix Global is who we are, and as our tagline says, we provide industry-leading Integrated Solutions in Metals and Mining.  

It’s truly a new day at Phoenix Global.  

Phoenix Services LLC (the “Company” or “Phoenix”), a premier provider of mission-critical services to leading, global steel producing companies, today announced that it has successfully completed its financial restructuring process and has emerged as a reorganized company from its chapter 11 case after only nine months. Phoenix’s chapter 11 plan and the transactions contemplated thereunder were supported by the Company’s lenders, who provided $45 million in new-money exit financing to support the operations going forward.

Through its successful restructuring efforts, Phoenix has: 

• deleveraged its balance sheet by more than $400 million;
• strengthened its portfolio of customer contracts;
• preserved more than 1500 employee positions across the United States and internationally; 
• successfully restructured its capital lease portfolio; and 
• assumed over 200 contracts with important counterparties.  

“This milestone marks the final step in the Phoenix’s comprehensive restructuring,” said Mark Porto, Chief Executive Officer of Phoenix Services LLC. “As we launch this next phase of the company’s story, I want to express my sincere gratitude to our employees for their unwavering dedication to safety, reliability, and operational excellence at all of our sites. With a deleveraged balance sheet, strengthened customer and lease portfolios and a committed workforce, Phoenix Services is well positioned to realize its long-term growth potential.”

Phoenix Services LLC was advised by Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP and Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A. as its legal advisors, AlixPartners, LLP as its financial advisor, PJT Partners LP as investment bankers and Sitrick And Company as strategic communications advisors.
