HOUSTON — Newberry Specialty Bakers, Inc., a leading provider of wholesale specialty baked goods to the grocery and foodservice industry, announced that through the continued commitment of our long-term debt holders Newberry Specialty Bakers has been able to reduce its long-term debt by in excess of $9,0000,000.
This achievement was accomplished by the company's ability to negotiate the purchase of its accrued interest from all its major shareholders for 10 cents on the dollar and enter into a series of promissory notes that will enable the company to retire the remaining long-term debt on agreed upon favorable terms negotiated over a 10-year period of time.
In addition, the company in 11 months has already exceeded its full year 2014 sales and profitability.
Commenting on the progress, Bill Evans, CEO of Newberry Specialty Bakers, said, "I am very excited to see the joint efforts of our new President, Howard Anders; our shareholders' continued confidence in our visions and direction; and the opportunities these achievements provide to aid in our expansion to increase market share." Evans added, "We have also established a business development team to extend our reach into national warehouse clubs, mega grocers, and big box stores."
