PARIS, June 14 French oil services firm CGG said on Wednesday it had filed for bankruptcy in France and the United States as part of financial restructuring to reduce its debt burden.

The company, in which the French state public investment bank Bpifrance Participations owns a 9 percent stake, said the restructuring would eliminate $1.95 billion in debt from its balance sheet.

"CGG will continue normal business operations during this process, and the restructuring transactions will not affect relationships with our clients, business partners, vendors or employees," Chief Executive Jean-Georges Malcor said in a statement.

"We expect that our financial restructuring can move forward quickly to strengthen our balance sheet and to position the company well for the future," he added

With debt in excess of $3 billion, the restructuring could be one of the biggest France has seen in years. It calls for unsecured debt to be converted to equity, maturities on secured debt to be extended and $500 million in new money to be raised.

The company, which specialises in geo-seismic surveys and is listed in Paris and New York, struggled to keep up with payments on its debt as the big oil groups that use its services proved reluctant to lift exploration spending despite rising oil prices.

Wells Fargo faces new accusations that it tried to capitalize financially on its customers without their permission this time by allegedly modifying mortgage terms for people who had filed for bankruptcy protection.

With the smoke still lingering from the firestorm that erupted from the bank's opening of fake consumer accounts, Wells was hit with multiple lawsuits alleging that the bank surreptitiously extended loan lengths, potentially costing some homeowners tens of thousands of dollars.

The bank pulled off a "virtual hijacking" with the alleged scam by implementing "illegal stealth modifications" in at least 100 cases across the country, plaintiffs attorneys said in court papers filed June 7 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of North Carolina, where they are hoping to assemble a class-action group.

Wells Fargospokesman Tom Goyda said the bank "strongly denies the claims" because the company clearly identified "modification offers" in letters to customers, their attorneys and the respective bankruptcy courts.

"In no event would we finalize a modification without receiving signed documents from the customer and, where required, approval from the bankruptcy court," Goyda said in an email.

The latest accusations ensure a fresh round of scrutiny over Wells Fargo's practices, not long after the bank reached a $185 million federal settlement over an acknowledgment that aggressive sales incentives and pressure prompted many branchemployees to open fake accounts to meet their goals. That episode led to the resignation of CEO John Stumpf and the clawback of tens of millions in executive pay.

To be sure, modifications of loan terms, including extending payment over longer periods and lowering monthly amounts, are often helpful to customers who are seeking short-term breathingroom on their finances. But longer loan periods often involve larger payments over time.

The complaint seeking class-action status was submitted on behalf of North Carolina residents Christopher Dee Cotton and Allison Hedrick Cotton, who filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection in February 2014 with a Wells-serviced mortgage balance of $171,215 at a 20-year interest rate of 4.875%. They remained current on their payments before and during the bankruptcy, according to their lawyers.

But the bank nonetheless submitted routine documentation through the legal system that resulted in an extension of their original 20-year loan to 40 years, with a reduced interest rate of 3.875% ultimately costing them an extra $84,939 in interest over the life of the mortgage, according to the suit.

The accusations come fewer than two years after Wells reached a settlement with the U.S. Justice Departmentin which it agreed to pay $81.6 million over an alleged failure to notify customers of payment changes on a timely basis for more than 68,000 homeowners in bankruptcy from December 2011 through March 2015.

The company agreed as part of that process to overhaul its operations and accept oversight from an independent reviewer.

It was not immediately clear whether the latest accusations would carry implications forthe Nov. 5, 2015 Justice settlement.

The Seinfeld-Inspired 'Soup Nazi' Company Has Filed for Bankruptcy - PEOPLE.com

Oil-services company CGG Group filed for bankruptcy protection Wednesday in the U.S. and France after reaching a restructuring deal with lenders and bondholders that will eliminate about $2 billion in debt from the company's books.

Under the deal, bondholders will swap nearly $2 billion in debt for most of the equity in a reorganized CGG, the company said. The restructuring plan calls for up to $500 million of new money to be raised from a $125 million rights offering and the issuance of $375 million in new debt.

CGG's senior lenders, owed about $800 million, will extend the maturity on their loans in return for $150 million payment from the proceeds of the new money investment. Existing shareholders, who will be able to participate in the rights offering, will see their investments reduced to a 4.5% stake in the restructured CGG following completion of the debt swap, according to filings in U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

Beatrice Place-Faget, general counsel of parent company CGG SA, said in court papers the prolonged downturn in oil and natural gas prices left the company unable to pay its debts.

CGG's 2016 annual revenue was roughly one-third of what it was before the current downturn began, she said. In 2012, before oil prices dropped, the company had total operating revenues of more than $3.41 billion. By 2016, that number was $1.195 billion.

In addition, the company has been losing money for years, including losses of $1.14 billion in 2015 and another $404.7 million last year.

CGG was founded in 1931 as " Compagnie Gnrale de Gophysique" and focuses on seismic surveys and other techniques to help energy companies locate oil and natural-gas reserves. The company also makes geophysical equipment under the Sercel brand name.

CGG launched its court-supervised restructuring bid in Paris on Wednesday by opening a "sauvegarde" proceeding, the French equivalent of a chapter 11 bankruptcy filing. Fourteen CGG subsidiaries filed for chapter 11 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York and the parent intends to seek U.S. court recognition of the Paris case under chapter 15, the section of U.S. bankruptcy law dealing with international insolvencies.

CGG's legal advisers are Linklaters LLP and Weil Gotshal & Manges LLP for the sauvegarde and chapter 15 case, and Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP for the chapter 11 cases. The company's financial advisers are Lazard and Morgan Stanley, and its restructuring adviser is Alix Partners LLP. Judge Martin Glenn has been assigned the case.
