Incora to Restructure Balance Sheet to Position Business for Long-Term Growth

/EIN News/ — Enters Chapter 11 with more than $300 million in DIP financing to fund operations throughout the process

Continues to deliver for customers across all global locations and maintain normal operations

FORT WORTH, Texas, June 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Incora and certain affiliates (collectively, “Incora” or the “Company”), a leading global provider of innovative supply chain management solutions, announced that the Company filed for voluntary protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (“Chapter 11”) in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Court”). Incora intends to use the Chapter 11 process to improve its capital structure and position the business for long-term growth.

To fund and preserve its operations during the Chapter 11 process, the Company has entered into an agreement, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval, providing more than $300 million in debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) financing. Upon approval by the Bankruptcy Court, the DIP financing will provide Incora with the necessary liquidity to operate as usual as it works to improve its balance sheet.

David Coleal, Chief Executive Officer of Incora stated, “We expect that this decisive action will right-size our capital structure and allow us to confidently build and grow into the future. This path will enable Incora to continue operating its business from a place of strength, positioned to empower its customers to meet their critical business needs.”

The Company has filed customary motions with the Bankruptcy Court intended to allow Incora to maintain normal operations and fulfill its go-forward commitments to customers, vendors and employees. These motions are typical in the Chapter 11 process and Incora anticipates they will be heard and approved in the first few days of the case.
