Representative Cases
Alaska Power & Telephone Company
Katriana was involved in BSK’s representation of Alaska Power & Telephone Company which included the restructuring of approximately $55 million in secured debt and in excess of $100 million in unsecured debt. After substantial negotiation, a consensual Plan of Reorganization was confirmed which allowed equity holders to retain their interests. AP&T continues to operate profitably today.
Hi-Country Foods Corporation
Katriana was substantially involved in BSK’s representation of Hi-Country, a privately-owned apple processor and bottler of private-label and co-pack fruit juices located in Selah, Washington. Hi-Country successfully sold substantially all of its assets to the Yakima Nation Land Enterprise, which continues to operate as a fruit processor and bottler and provide employment for Yakima area residents.
