In the second and third quarters of 2020, a bond of Oasis Petroleum had been purchased for the portfolio at very low prices. The calculations of the DRAG team showed, that if the debt were restructured, bondholders would receive shares in the company at a price significantly higher than the purchase price of the bonds. Oasis conducted the Chapter 11 restructuring process from September through the end of November. In early December, existing bondholders received the company's new shares. In the first quarter of 2021, the share price rose steadily. The average selling price now realized represents more than a threefold increase compared with the purchase price.
