法庭文件顯示，特種化學(xué)品公司格雷斯公司為其重組計劃征求選票，并已獲得美國破產(chǎn)法院的批準(zhǔn)。
重組計劃的批準(zhǔn)使格雷斯公司更接近一步脫離Chapter 11破產(chǎn)保護(hù)。然而，本月初，格雷斯公司表示，如果不能在可接受的條件下募集到十億美元重組資金，公司脫離破產(chǎn)可能會延遲。
法官Judith Fitzgerald在周一批準(zhǔn)了公司開始征求債權(quán)人選票的要求。格雷斯公司總部設(shè)在哥倫比亞的馬里蘭州，公司于2001年4月申請破產(chǎn)，以解決針對公司石棉造成的人身傷害和財產(chǎn)損害的索賠。
格雷斯公司去年表示，它將解決所有目前和未來石棉有關(guān)的人身傷害索賠。根據(jù)協(xié)議共需要2.5億美元的現(xiàn)金。公司將從2019年開始以每年1.1億美元，共償還五年的方式償付信托和延期付款。
截止星期三下午，證券交易所格雷斯公司股價下跌6美分，為4.24美元。

(Reuters) - Specialty chemicals firm W.R. Grace & Co (GRA.N) has received approval from a U.S. bankruptcy court to solicit votes for its reorganization plan, court documents showed.
The approval brings the company a step closer to exit from Chapter 11. However, earlier this month, the company said its exit from bankruptcy may be delayed if it failed to get $1 billion to fund its reorganization on acceptable terms.
Judge Judith Fitzgerald on Monday approved the company's request to begin soliciting votes from creditors. W.R. Grace & Co, based in Columbia, Maryland, filed for bankruptcy in April 2001 to resolve asbestos personal injury and property damage claims against it.
The company said last year that it will settle all present and future asbestos-related personal injury claims, under an agreement requiring $250 million in cash to be paid to a trust and deferred payments at $110 million per year for 5 years beginning in 2019.
Shares of the company were down 6 cents at $4.24 Wednesday afternoon on the New York Stock Exchange.
