On October 13, 2023, Prima® Wawona announced that it is transitioning ownership of the Company and recapitalizing the business. In connection with an agreement reached amongst the Company's lenders, Prima® Wawona is proceeding with a transaction that will involve either the conversion of existing lender debt into equity ownership of the business or allow for a sale transaction to a third-party buyer via an expedited auction process. To implement the ownership transition, the Company has initiated voluntary Chapter 11 proceedings in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.
Prima® Wawona is continuing to operate normally and provide high-quality stone fruit to customers and consumers. In connection with these Chapter 11 cases, the prepetition lenders have consented to the use of cash collateral to support the business through the process. Prima® Wawona intends to pay vendors in full under normal terms for goods and services provided on or after the filing date.
With the support of its lenders, the Company intends to move through Chapter 11 expediently to consummate a sale transaction or an equitization transaction with its lenders.
The Company's case has been assigned Case No. 23-11721 before the Honorable Laurie Selber Silverstein. The Docket can be accessed by clicking here.
