Alto Ingredients, Inc. has completed the sale of its fuel ethanol production facility in Madera, CA to Seaboard Energy California, LLC.
The company received $19.5 million in cash proceeds and an additional $8.8 million in assumption of liabilities. The company used the $19.5 million in net proceeds to prepay principal and accrued interest on its senior notes outstanding. After the close, the company’s outstanding balance of its senior notes is only $0.7 million.
“We wish Seaboard much success as they launch their repurposing of the facility," says Mike Kandris, CEO, Alto Ingredients. "As previously discussed, the monetization of this asset reduces interest and idle expenses for Alto Ingredients by over $4 million dollars annually and allows us to better focus resources on driving revenue and profitable growth.”
