Chesapeake Corporation (CSKE) has reached an agreement to sell all of its operating businesses to a group of investors including affiliates of Irving Place Capital Management, L.P. and Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., who intend to continue operating these businesses as a going concern. To consummate this sale, Chesapeake Corporation and its U.S. operating subsidiaries filed voluntary Chapter 11 petitions today in the Eastern District of Virginia in Richmond. All of the Company's operations - including all of its manufacturing and distribution facilities in the U.S. and around the world - are open and operating on normal schedules, fulfilling customer orders as usual and providing uninterrupted customer service. The Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries were not included in the Chapter 11 filing and there are no plans to place them in administration. The Company will seek preliminary approval from the Court for a new debtor-in-possession financing facility of up to $37 million provided by certain members of its current revolving lender group. The new facility will provide an immediate source of funds to the Company, enabling it to satisfy customary obligations associated with ongoing operations of its business, including the timely payment of employee obligations, materials purchases, normal operating expenses and other obligations. The Company expects that cash flows from the ongoing business and the initial availability under the new facility will allow it to meet its liquidity needs until such time as the conditions are satisfied for the availability of increased financing.
