据知情人士透露，电信服务商Optimum Communications Inc.的债权人与控股股东帕特里克·德拉希就这位亿万富翁在公司潜在重组中应获得多少股权产生分歧。
Creditors to telecom provider Optimum Communications Inc. and controlling shareholder Patrick Drahi are at odds over how much equity the billionaire should get in a potential restructuring of the company, according to people familiar with the matter.
知情人士称，德拉希要求在重组后的公司中保留约30亿美元的股权。他们补充说，这与债权人愿意让他持有的约5亿美元股权相差甚远。知情人士因讨论正在进行的私下对话而要求不具名。
Drahi had asked to keep about $3 billion of equity in the reorganized company, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing ongoing private conversations. That’s a wide gap from the roughly $500 million that creditors are willing to give him to hold, they added. The company and creditors have been entangled in litigation for almost a year.
该公司与债权人已陷入诉讼近一年。但自6月以来，紧张局势不断升级，当时Optimum告知债权人，如果他们强迫公司破产，将面临触发超过40亿美元税务负债的风险，这可能会对他们的回收金额造成巨大打击。
But tensions have been running high since June, when Optimum told creditors they risked triggering more than $4 billion of tax liabilities, a potential massive blow to their recoveries, if they forced it into bankruptcy.
与此同时，据部分知情人士透露，公司一直在考虑是否支付周四到期的利息。公司代表和债权人团体代表均拒绝置评。
In the meantime, the company has been deliberating on whether it will make interest payments due Thursday, some of the people said. Representatives with the company and the creditor group declined to comment.
根据监管文件，德拉希拥有该公司（前身为Altice USA）约28%的A类股份，以及99.9%的B类股份，使其拥有约90.5%的投票权。
Drahi owns about 28% of Class A shares in the company formerly known as Altice USA. He also has 99.9% of the Class B shares, giving him about 90.5% of voting power, according to regulatory filings.
Optimum长期以来为重组其债务结构所做的努力经历了多次反复。该公司去年底指控其贷方存在反垄断行为，称它们达成合作协议在与公司的谈判中保持一致，据称阻碍了公司进入资本市场。
Optimum’s long-running bid to restructure its debt stack has gone through a number of twists and turns. The company late last year accused its lenders of antitrust behavior forg a cooperation agreement to stick together in negotiations with the company, allegedly blocking it from access to capital markets.
上个月，债权人起诉该公司，要求其撤销据称将价值从债权人触及范围之外转移至内部人士（包括德拉希）口袋的资产转移。据彭博亿万富翁指数，德拉希的估计净资产为64亿美元。
Last month, creditors sued the company demanding it unwind transfers they claim siphoned value out of their reach and into the pockets of insiders, including Drahi, who has an estimated net worth of $6.4 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
