Der Reorganisationsplan sollte in naher Zukunft umgesetzt sein,
die Umwandlung der Aktien von WSPTV in WSPQE ist erfolgt.
Die Frage ist jetzt welchen Wert werden die Dinger haben, und das ist vom Investor abhängig der den Bieterwettstreit am Freitag gewinnen wird.
Wenn ich die 8K-Filings richtig lese schreibt Westpoint zur Zeit bis auf 1 oder 2 Bereiche schwarze Zahlen.
Bei einem Standort gibt es sogar Stellenausschreibungen.

Icahn company wins battle for WestPoint Stevens
Fri Jun 24, 2005 01:41 PM ET
NEW YORK, June 24 (Reuters) - American Real Estate Partners LP (ACP.N: Quote, Profile, Research) , which is controlled by investor Carl Icahn, agreed to acquire bankrupt textile maker WestPoint Stevens Inc. (WSPTQ.OB: Quote, Profile, Research) for about $703 million, beating out other bidders in a bankruptcy court auction, WestPoint said on Friday.
The purchase, which requires final approval by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, would break up an earlier agreement for WestPoint to be sold to W.L. Ross & Co., a $2.5 billion buyout firm headed by "vulture" investor Wilbur Ross.
Icahn, a billionaire investor with holdings in telecom, gaming, oil and entertainment companies, previously built up a large stake in the debt of West Point, Georgia-based WestPoint, whose linens and towels are sold under the Polo Ralph Lauren, Disney Enterprises and Martha Stewart brands. Icahn holds 84.4 percent of American Real Estate Partners.
Early this year, Ross agreed to buy control of WestPoint in a deal that valued the company at $642.5 million in a move to add to his textile company holdings, which included Burlington Industries and Cone Mills, both of which were operating under bankruptcy protection.
But Icahn expressed dissatisfaction with the WestPoint offer and challenged it.
Icahn and Ross could not be reached for comment.

WSPTQ: Sale to American Real Estate Partners Approved by Court
WestPoint Stevens Inc. (WSPTQ) and American Real Estate Partners, L.P. (ACP) (?AREP?) announced that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court has approved the sale of substantially all of WestPoint's assets to an indirect subsidiary of AREP, which is controlled by Carl C. Icahn. The AREP offer was the highest and best bid received in connection with the sale process approved by the Court in its reorganization proceedings for WestPoint.
The terms of the agreement valued at $703.5M, include the purchase of substantially all of the assets of WestPoint, the repayment of WestPoint's outstanding debtor-in-possession loans and assumption of certain working capital liabilities, the satisfaction of other secured claims, and the payment of $3M for wind-down costs. The agreement also provides for the issuance on account of the first lien debt of 35.0% of the equity in WS Textile Co. Inc., a newly formed company that will own indirectly the assets of WestPoint, a $125M rights offering for 47.5% of the equity of WS Textile Co., Inc., and a cash investment of $187M by AREP for 17.5% of the equity of WS Textile Co., Inc. By virtue of its position as a holder of WestPoint debt, AREP has agreed to subscribe to its portion of the rights expected to represent equity interests of not less than 19% of WS Textile Co., Inc. and has agreed to subscribe for any unexercised rights shares. As a result, it is expected that AREP will own in excess of 50% of the outstanding shares of WS Textile Co., Inc and may own up to 79%, to the extent the subscription rights are not exercised. A closing date for the proposed sale has yet to be announced. The closing of the sale is subject to customary and other deal-specific conditions and will be reflected in an order of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court authorizing the transaction, which is expected to be entered next week. Following the sale, WestPoint will wind down its estate, and as a result, all shares of its common stock would be cancelled with no payment.

Newly Created WestPoint International, Inc. Will Benefit from Strong Capital Structure
MOUNT KISCO, N.Y. and WEST POINT, Ga., Aug. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- American Real Estate Partners, L.P. (NYSE: ACP - News; "AREP") and WestPoint Stevens Inc. (Pink Sheet: WSPTQ.PK) ("WestPoint Stevens" or the "Company") announced today that WestPoint Stevens has completed the sale of substantially all of the Company's assets to WestPoint International, Inc., a newly created entity a majority of the voting securities of which will be owned by AREP. AREP, which is affiliated with Carl C. Icahn, is engaged in core businesses that include oil & gas, gaming and real estate. As the result of its stock ownership, AREP will be able to elect the entire board of directors of WestPoint International.

The terms of the sale, valued at $703.5 million, provide for the issuance of stock in WestPoint International, Inc. that will own all of the purchased assets of WestPoint Stevens Inc. through its indirect subsidiary, WestPoint Home, Inc., which will be the primary operating entity of the new company. In accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement, WestPoint Home, Inc. will pay current trade payables to WestPoint Stevens' vendors in the ordinary course.
The holders of the Company's first lien debt will receive 35% of the common stock of WestPoint International, Inc. As the holder of 40% of the Company's first lien debt, a subsidiary of AREP will acquire approximately 14% of the common stock of WestPoint International, Inc. Pursuant to the sale agreement, the holders of WestPoint Stevens' first and second lien debt will be given rights to subscribe for additional shares of common stock representing 47.5% of the common stock of WestPoint International, Inc. A subsidiary of AREP has agreed to subscribe to its portion of the rights and will thereby acquire not less than an additional 19% of the common stock of WestPoint International, Inc. at a cost of approximately $50 million. AREP has also agreed to subscribe for any unexercised rights and may acquire up to an additional 27% of the common stock of WestPoint International, Inc. at a cost of approximately $75 million if other first and second lien holders exercise none of the rights. Finally, a subsidiary of AREP made an investment of $187 million in exchange for 17.5% of the common stock of WestPoint International, Inc. Accordingly, AREP will own up to 79% of the equity of WestPoint International, Inc., an amount that may reduce to 51% in the event that the other recipients of the subscription rights exercise all of their rights.
Following the sale, WestPoint Stevens will wind down its estate, and as a result, all shares of its common stock will be cancelled with no payment.
Carl C. Icahn, Chairman of the Board of AREP's general partner stated, "We believe that the home textiles industry remains a large and profitable market in which WestPoint can create sustainable competitive advantage. WestPoint's assets -- built over decades of investment -- are substantial, including its manufacturing expertise, capital assets, personnel, brands, distribution skills, and customer relationships. While others worry about the challenges faced by industries in change, we see these challenges as presenting the opportunity for the emergence of a well-capitalized, industry-leading player, especially with a meaningful infusion of capital from AREP."
M.L. "Chip" Fontenot, President and CEO of WestPoint Stevens commented, "AREP's investment is an important milestone in WestPoint's transition toward becoming a more global player in the home textiles industry. New capital invested in our business will give us the freedom and financial resources to focus with renewed vigor on growth and the next stage of our transformation."
American Real Estate Partners, L.P., a master limited partnership, is a diversified holding company engaged in a variety of businesses. AREP's businesses currently include gaming; oil & gas exploration and production; and real estate.
