Notice of Filing Sixth Amended Plan Supplement [Docket No. 645]

General Information:

On September 24, 2024, Vertex entered into a restructuring support agreement (“Restructuring Support Agreement”) with the unanimous support of holders of 100% of the outstanding first lien term loans. Pursuant to the Restructuring Support Agreement, on September 24, 2024, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries have initiated a pre-arranged court-supervised process under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas.

Vertex expects to use the Chapter 11 process to strengthen the Company's financial position, meaningfully deleverage its balance sheet, and facilitate the business’s long-term success.

Vertex continues to operate its leading energy transition company without interruption. Throughout this process, Vertex will continue producing high-purity refined fuels and products.

Vertex has received a commitment for postpetition financing, which is expected to provide sufficient liquidity to support Vertex during the court-supervised process and beyond. The Company intends to pay vendors and suppliers in full for all goods and services provided after the filing date.

Vertex is concurrently pursuing a potential sale of all, substantially all, or any portion of the Debtors’ assets through one or more sales.

The Company’s case has been assigned Case No. 24-90507. The Docket can be accessed here.

Pursuant to Final Decree Closing Certain of the Chapter 11 Cases entered by the Bankruptcy Court dated April 1, 2025 [Docket No. 760], the Affiliate Cases are hereby closed, including Vertex Energy, Inc., Case No. 24-90507. The Remaining Case of Bango Oil LLC, Case No. 24-90508, shall remain open and the Docket with new filings can be accessed here.
