????經過在破產法庭中漫長的重組，大西洋與太平洋茶葉公司（Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company）有望在明年年初將結束破產保護狀態，成為一家私人持股公司。

????該公司在美國東北地區經營多家雜貨連鎖店，包括A&P、Pathmark和The Food Emporium。但這家有152年歷史的雜貨店公司在與沃爾瑪（Wal-Mart）等大型綜合超市的競爭中舉步維艱。

????今年以來，A&P的股價已經下跌77%，最近報收于0.05美元左右。

????深陷債務泥沼的大西洋與太平洋茶葉公司去年底申請破產，推出了改革計劃。公司關閉了一些門店，與供應商重議合約，并在與工會員工的協商中得到了相當程度的讓步。

????11月份，大西洋與太平洋茶葉公司宣布已獲得4.90億美元融資，投資者包括億萬富翁羅恩?伯克勒經營的私募股權公司和高盛管理的幾支基金。

????大西洋與太平洋茶葉公司表示，這一融資協議將能使公司在幾個月內結束破產保護狀態，成為一家私人持股公司。

????After a protracted restructuring in bankruptcy court, the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company expects to emerge as a privately held company early next year.

????The company operates several grocery store chains across the Northeast, including A&P, Pathmark and The Food Emporium. But the 152-year-old grocer has struggled to compete with big-box rivals such as Wal-Mart.

????A&P's stock is down 77% this year and trades for about 5 cents a share.

????In debt up to its eyeballs, A&P filed for bankruptcy late last year and launched a turnaround program. It closed stores, renegotiated contracts with suppliers and extracted significant concessions from unionized workers.

????In November, A&P announced that it had received $490 million from a group of investors including the private equity firm run by billionaire investor Ron Burkle and funds managed by Goldman Sachs.

????A&P said the financing agreement would enable it to exit Chapter 11 as a private company within months.?
