The company responsible for Ho Hos, Twinkies, and Ding Dongs has announced that it has filed for bankruptcy protection. Hostess Brands has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy once before, in 2004 when it was under the name Interstate Bakeries Corp. The company recently came out from a financial restructuring process in 2009 with changes that the company now considers as “insufficient.”
Eastman Kodak Co., the notoriously innovative company that was credited with making the camera financially assessable to the greater public, is considering filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, according to the Wall Street Journal. How did a company that was once so successful end up in such a rut?
While it may be general practice among other law firms to pass these increased costs along to the client, at JacksonWhite we have elected to absorb some of the miscellaneous costs associated with filing bankruptcy. We hope to keep the total money coming out of your pocket as minimal as possible.
