Ebbtide Holdings LLC and Limestone, US Inc., Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries of The Limestone Boat Company Limited, Make Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Filings in the State of Tennessee
2023年1月21日 - 6:20AM
The Limestone Boat Company Limited
("
Limestone" or the "
Company")
(
TSXV: BOAT | OTCQB: LMSBF) – announces today that
its wholly-owned subsidiaries Ebbtide Holdings, LLC, doing business
as "TN Composites" ("
TN Composites") and Limestone
US Inc. ("
Limestone US" and collectively with TN
Composites, the "
Limestone US Subsidiaries") have
filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 7 of the
Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
Middle District of Tennessee – Nashville Division (the
"
Bankruptcy Court"). Limestone expects that the
Limestone US Subsidiaries will have a Chapter 7 Trustee appointed
by the Office of the United States Trustee (the
"
Trustee"). Upon the commencement of the Chapter 7
filings by the Limestone US Subsidiaries, their respective business
operations ceased immediately and the Trustee immediately took
charge of the assets of the Limestone US Subsidiaries pursuant to
the United States Bankruptcy Code. The Trustee is expected to
liquidate the assets of the Limestone US Subsidiaries and to
distribute the proceeds of such sale proceedings in accordance with
the order of priority established under Title 11 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code and under the supervision and approval of
the Bankruptcy Court.
Going forward the Company will focus on the
Limestone® brand and specifically ongoing efforts to pursue
financial restructuring initiatives which are expected to be
completed in Q1 2023. Until such time as the Company resumes
manufacturing operations of the Limestone® brand, expected in Q4
2023 the Company is not projecting any revenue at this time. The
Company remains committed to continuing its long-term operations
for the Limestone® brand, including its conventional and EV powered
offerings as soon as possible, and is also pursuing manufacturing
opportunities in Canada for the Limestone® brand and its respective
models and will provide additional information in this regard as it
becomes available.
Scott Hanson, Chief Executive Officer of Ebbtide
Holdings, LLC, and Limestone US Inc. said, “The combined effects of
a challenging manufacturing environment on the sale and delivery of
boats given the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on
supply chain and labor have caused significant financial distress
on our business and The Limestone Boat Company has determined that
the best strategy to maximize value will be a voluntary liquidation
of Ebbtide Holdings, LLC and Limestone US Inc. pursuant to an
organized and orderly proceeding in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. The
Company’s US subsidiaries, Ebbtide Holdings, LLC and Limestone US
Inc. lack sufficient liquidity to continue operating in the
ordinary course of business and thus will no longer be producing
boats in the Tennessee facility. I would like to thank all of our
employees for their dedication and support, as well as our vendors
and Aquasport dealers.”
Additional details relating to the bankruptcy
proceeding by the Limestone US Subsidiaries:
- The Limestone US Subsidiaries have
appointed Lefkovitz and Lefkovitz, PLLC in Nashville, Tennessee as
legal counsel to assist them in connection with the Chapter 7
Bankruptcy filings.
- Court filings and other documents
related to the proceedings are available on the Pacer website that
can be found at www.tnmb.uscourts.gov.
The Limestone Boat Company’s decision to file
voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy
Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District
of Tennessee for both Ebbtide Holdings, LLC and Limestone US Inc.
is believed to be the best strategy to maximize value for the
stakeholders.
