ok I have it:
It is unusual for a company to be involved in talks to restructure another group’s debt unless it has an interest in a merger or acquisition of some of its assets.
The move, first reported by Bloomberg, signals a potential tussle between two of the North Sea’s largest producers, with Premier shareholders unwilling to sell despite its $2.9bn debt load and Chrysaor seeking to expand its North Sea footprint amid low energy prices.
Premier said it would stick with its proposal to raise $530m from shareholders as part of a refinancing despite the approach by Chrysaor, which snapped up the North Sea assets of ConocoPhillips last year in a $2.7bn deal.
