Sale of ABP plant may aid Omaha firm Swift & Co deal
A federal court ruling approving the 18 million sale of American Beef Packers giant Dumas Texas plant to Swift & Co was hailed by Bill Jones of the National Livestock Feeders Association as key to paying creditors and ABP’s survival. Douglas Reno noted deductions for liens taxes and fees could total 3 to 4 million and funds must remain for continued financing with GE Credit Corp. An amended plan likely within two weeks promises better terms for creditors than the initial plan rejected by the creditors committee.
