Adversary Complaint Filed
   
 
   
On May 12, 2009, Tronox Incorporated filed an adversary complaint against Kerr-McGee Corporation and its successor, Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, in its Chapter 11 Cases in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint asserts that Kerr-McGee defrauded Tronox’s creditors through its separation and spin-off of its former chemical subsidiary in 2006 and seeks recovery for fraudulent transfers involving valuable oil and gas assets and massive actual and contingent environmental, tort, retiree and other liabilities. As with any litigation, there can be no guarantee of a recovery.
