The Noble on Monday announced that it has already reached an in principle agreement with an ad hoc group of their senior creditors to restructure its $3.4b debt. Under the deal, creditors will take 70% of the company, whilst the management and existing shareholders will control 20% and 10%, respectively.

The deal will still be subjected to final documentation, regulatory and shareholder approval, and implementation via inter-conditional schemes of arrangement in relevant jurisdictions, said Noble.
