FiberMark’s Confirmation Hearing Continued until March 7 to Allow Time for Key Creditors to Resolve Inter-creditor Issues

 

 

BRATTLEBORO, Vt.—March 1, 2005—FiberMark, Inc., (OTCBB: FMKIQ) today announced that the confirmation hearing on its Plan of Reorganization was adjourned and continued until March 7.   This continuance was designed to provide the three largest bondholders a final opportunity to resolve their remaining differences.  

 

As outlined in its Plan of Reorganization, FiberMark expects to emerge from chapter 11 as a private company.  When the Plan becomes effective, current bondholders and holders of general unsecured claims will receive a distribution in accordance with the terms of the Plan.  Its currently existing common stock will be cancelled. 

 

FiberMark, headquartered in Brattleboro, Vt., is a leading producer of specialty fiber-based materials meeting industrial and consumer needs worldwide, operating 11 facilities in the eastern United States and Europe.  Products include filter media for transportation and vacuum cleaner bags; base materials for specialty tapes, electrical and graphic arts applications; wallpaper, building materials and sandpaper; and cover/decorative materials for office and school supplies, publishing, printing and premium packaging. 

 

This document contains forward-looking statements.  Actual results may differ depending on the economy and other risk factors discussed in the company's Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2004, which is accessible on the company's Web site at www.fibermark.com.
