The company noted that Legacy C&J common stock will be canceled, and the company will have about 55.5 million shares of new stock outstanding after the reorganization.
For C&J, Evercore was the financial adviser. AlixPartners LLP was the restructuring advisor. And Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP; Kirkland & Ellis LLP; and Loeb & Loeb LLP were the legal counsel.
