Delaware court sets Oct. 23 start for Citgo share auction process
HOUSTON (Reuters) -A U.S. court set Oct. 23 as the start date for a long-expected auction of shares in Venezuela-owned refiner Citgo Petroleum's parent to pay creditors with judgments against the South American nation. The sale process lays out a schedule that could lead to formal approval of any sale of shares in PDV Holding, a U.S.-based unit of state company Petróleos de Venezuela, a year from now. U.S. Judge Leonard Stark in Delaware this week accepted a recommendation by a court official in charge of organizing the auction.
