Aug 28, 2013. /Lesprom Network/. National Envelope (“National” or the “Company”) has entered into a definitive Asset Purchase Agreement with Cenveo to sell substantially all of National’s operating assets. The closing is subject to bankruptcy court approval and customary closing conditions and is expected to occur by the end of the 3Q, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

“We’re very happy with the outcome of the Chapter 11 proceedings,” Jim Pinto, CEO, stated. “All parties involved worked diligently to see that the company was sold through the bankruptcy process and received the best possible outcome. This sale ensures the best result for all interested stakeholders, including debt holders, owners, creditors, customers and employees.”

National Envelope filed Chapter 11 on June 10th in order to facilitate a sale and has requested the US Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware authorize the Company to proceed with a sale of the assets of the business on September 13, 2013.

Pinto said: “This transaction turns the page on the next chapter in the future of the Company, while bringing together two respected converters in an industry that can benefit from consolidation and improved earnings.”

National is being guided by PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP as its financial advisors and Richards, Layton and Finger as legal counsel.
