Stockton and Madera

 

In October 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan to sell the Company’s fuel-grade ethanol production facilities located in Madera and Stockton, California. The analysis of these potential sales resulted in an aggregate asset impairment of $1.2 million in the Company’s Western production segment for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

On May 14, 2021, the Company closed the sale of its Madera facility for total consideration of $28.3 million, comprised of $19.5 million in cash and $8.8 million in assumption of liabilities, resulting in a net loss on sale of less than $0.1 million, included in gain (loss) on sale (disposal) of assets in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. All of the cash proceeds were used to repay a significant portion of the Company’s term debt and accrued interest.

 

On November 5, 2021, the Company closed the sale of its Stockton facility for gross proceeds of $24.0 million in cash, resulting in a net gain on sale of $4.6 million, recorded in gain (loss) on sale (disposal) of assets in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. With the net cash proceeds, the Company repaid in full its senior secured notes and loans made to Alto Pekin and ICP.
