On Nov. 12, 2012, Hostess Brands announced that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York approved its emergency interim motion for the orderly wind down of its business and sale of its assets.
Hostess Brands was winding down the Company after a nationwide strike initiated by the Bakery, Confectionary, Tobacco and Grain Millers Union (BCTGM) that commenced Nov. 9, crippled its operations at a time when the Company lacked the financial resources to survive a significant labor action, according to a company release. The wind down means the closure of 33 bakeries, 565 distribution centers, approximately 5,500 delivery routes, 570 bakery outlet stores and the loss of 18,500 jobs.
