ALL Fuels & Energy Seeks Reconsideration of Approval of Bankruptcy Sale of Ethanol Plant

  Share This Story

DES MOINES, Iowa - (BUSINESS WIRE) - ALL Fuels & Energy (OTCBB:AFSE) today announced that its subsidiary, ALL Fuels - Jefferson, LLC, has filed a motion to reconsider the proposed sale order in the Renew Energy LLC Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding (U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Western District of Wisconsin, Case No. 09-10491). The proposed sale order approves the sale of the Renew Energy's ethanol plant to Valero Renewable Energy Company for $72 million.

ALL Fuels-Jefferson, LLC was one of four qualified bidders at the December 11, 2009 auction of the Renew Energy ethanol plant held in Madison, WI, and managed by William Blair & Company ("Blair" ) and Bankers' Bank, the lead secured creditor in the bankruptcy proceeding. During the auction, at approximately 8:45 p.m., Valero submitted a $72 million cash bid as a "conditional" bid, with an expiration time of 9:15 p.m. At 9:01 p.m., a $77 million bid by ALL Fuels-Jefferson, LLC was announced, based on a discount formula, as a "bid of $72.1 million". Blair and Bankers' Bank then advised the auction participants that "time had run out, the auction closed" , and announced that the "best bid is Valero" , even though Valero's bid was $5 million less than the All Fuels-Jefferson, LLC bid. At 9:06 p.m., the ALL Fuels-Jefferson, LLC attempted to enter a substantially higher bid than its previous $77 million bid. ALL Fuels-Jefferson, LLC was not permitted to enter this bid by Blair and Bankers Bank.

ALL Fuels-Jefferson LLC believes important information regarding the auction and determination of the winning bid by Blair and Bankers Bank was not brought to the bankruptcy court's attention at the December 14, 2009, sale confirmation hearing, including the fact that ALL Fuels-Jefferson ,LLC's bid, announced as a bid of $72.1 million, was in fact a bid of $77 million to which a discount was applied by Blair and Bankers Bank. ALL Fuels-Jefferson, LLC's motion to reconsider will address these important facts. "We are going back to the U.S Bankruptcy Court in Madison, Wisconsin, with all of the facts of what really occurred at the auction in the hands of Bankers Bank and William Blair" , said Dean Sukowatey, President & CEO, ALL Fuels & Energy.

ALL Fuels-Jefferson, LLC's bid was backed by a $65 million term loan commitment from Bankers' and equity derived from a consortium of equity partners, as well as a $55 million corn procurement and risk management commitment from a significant commodities firm.
