    NutraCea Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

    Phoenix, AZ-based NutraCea has filed a voluntary petition for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona.

    Phoenix, AZ-based NutraCea has filed a voluntary petition for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona.

    None of the company’s subsidiaries, including its Brazilian rice bran oil operation, Irgovel, were included in the bankruptcy filing.

    The Company plans to use the protection provided by the courts under Chapter 11 to restructure its operations, reduce overhead and sell non-core assets, in line with the previously announced strategy of focusing on its core businesses of stabilized rice bran, rice bran oil, nutraceuticals and baby cereal.

    "The protection provided by the Chapter 11 process will allow NutraCea to gain immediate liquidity through the $6,750,000 Debtor-in-Possession (DIP) financing facility provided by Wells Fargo Bank, N. A. and to resume normal day-to-day operations, while giving us the opportunity to restructure, strengthen our business performance and create long-term value for our stakeholders," said W. John Short, CEO. "We will work hard to emerge from this process as quickly as possible with a streamlined cost structure that should allow us to operate as a healthier, more competitive and profitable company. We deeply appreciate the dedication and efforts of our employees, who have worked exceedingly hard during this challenging period. We look forward to the continued support of our customers, vendors and business partners as we reposition NutraCea for future growth and profitability."

    In conjunction with its filing, the company applied for Bankruptcy Court approval for a DIP financing facility provided by Wells Fargo Bank, N. A. The DIP facility provides lines of credit totaling $6,750,000 which, combined with cash flow from operations, will permit payment of employee wages and benefits and allow the Company to resume normal day-to-day operations, including payment of post-petition obligations to vendors and professional service providers, all in the normal course of business.

    The total funds that NutraCea will be able to access under the DIP financing facility will be determined using a borrowing base formula and will be reduced by the outstanding balance owing under NutraCea’s old credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. NutraCea currently owes approximately $3,575,000 to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. under the old credit facility. The company’s obligations under the DIP financing facility will be secured by its facilities in Phoenix, Dillon, Montana and Mermentau, Louisiana and all of its personal property assets other than certain intellectual property assets.

    In addition to seeking Bankruptcy Court approval of the DIP financing, NutraCea has filed several customary first day motions seeking authority to take actions in furtherance of its reorganization.

    The Company plans to post regular updates on its website regarding the Chapter 11 process in order to keep employees, customers, vendors, professional service providers, shareholders, other stakeholders and the general public apprised of its progress as it restructures under court supervision.
