Additionally, a group of creditors will provide $450 million in financing to help Diamond pay down debt and fund its operations. The plan also involves Sinclair paying $495 million to settle pending litigation with Diamond, and the company will provide ongoing management and transition services to support Diamond's reorganization and separation from Sinclair's operations.
