Corp., et al., Bankruptcy Adversary
Proceeding No. 09–1198.
The Settlement Agreement provides
for $5.15 billion dollars to be paid to the
Anadarko Litigation Trust. These
proceeds will then be distributed to the

response trusts, a tort claims trust, and
certain state and tribal governments as
provided by the Plan of Reorganization,
Litigation Trust Agreement,
Environmental Settlement Agreement,
and other documents (collectively, the
‘‘Bankruptcy Documents’’) previously
approved by the bankruptcy court in
Tronox’s bankruptcy.
The Settlement Agreement resolves
fraudulent conveyance claims brought
by the United States and the Anadarko
Litigation Trust against Defendants. As
part of the Settlement Agreements,
Defendants will receive covenants not to
sue from the United States under
various statutes, included the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response Compensation, and Liability
Act and Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act, and for certain common
law claims, all as and to the extent
specified in the Settlement Agreement.
Pursuant to this Settlement Agreement
and the Bankruptcy Documents,
portions of the Defendants’ payment
under the Settlement Agreement will
either fund clean-up or provide
compensation for past or future
environmental costs at numerous sites
around the county.
Notice of lodging of the Settlement
Agreement was published in the
Federal Register on April 14, 2014. See
79 FR 20910. The public comment
period for the Settlement Agreement is
scheduled to close on May 14, 2014.
