Investor group acquires Chesapeake Corp.

Chesapeake Corporation announced that it has reached an agreement to sell all of its operating businesses to a group of investors including affiliates of Irving Place Capital Management, L.P. and Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., who intend to continue operating these businesses as a going concern.
All of the Company's operations - including all of its manufacturing and distribution facilities in the U.S. and around the world - are open and operating on normal schedules, fulfilling customer orders. The Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries were not included in the Chapter 11 filing. The proposed purchase price is $485 million.
