Dynegy Inc (DYN: Quote) announced Friday that it has received approval from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for its amended and restated settlement agreement that was executed on May 30, 2012 with all of its major creditor constituencies, including holders of a significant portion of DH's senior notes, certain lease certificate holders and holders of a majority of its outstanding subordinated notes.

Creditors who are parties to the settlement agreement hold over $2.7 billion of claims against Dynegy's subsidiary, Dynegy Holdings, LLC or DH.

Dynegy stated that the amended and restated settlement agreement resolves all disputes, claims and causes of action between and among DH, Dynegy and the settling parties, with respect to the matters therein.

Dynegy said it expects to file an amended plan of reorganization and related disclosure statement for DH in the near future, which will be subject to a formal creditor vote and confirmation by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

Dynegy Holdings, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries filed for bankruptcy protection as of November 7 last year. In December, the company filed a proposed Plan of Reorganization for the unit with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.
