Premier Remains Fully Operational and Open for Business
Company Intends to Build on Recent Efforts to Streamline the Company and Create a Stronger, More Competitive Business
ATLANTA, June 14, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Premier Exhibitions, Inc. (OTCQB:PRXI) today announced that it has filed a voluntary
petition for reorganization relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for
the Middle District of Florida (“Bankruptcy Court”) in Jacksonville, Florida. The company plans to continue operating
the business without interruption as management focuses on developing and executing a comprehensive corporate restructuring
plan.
In conjunction with the filing, Premier is seeking customary authority from the Bankruptcy Court that will enable it to continue
operating its business and serving its customers in the ordinary course. The requested approvals include requests for
the authority to make wage and salary payments and continue various benefits for employees as well as honor tickets purchased by
customers and its existing agreements with museum partners.
Premier recently announced that it was taking certain actions to address the company’s financial condition and deteriorating
liquidity position. Despite aggressive efforts to manage these issues, the burden of the Company’s lease in New York
City and other legacy business issues remain obstacles to the Company’s ability to conduct business. Faced with these
obstacles and upcoming lease payments due, the company has determined that it would be in the best interest of its stakeholders to
file for reorganization relief under Chapter 11. Operating under the protection of Chapter 11 will provide the company’s
most important vendors with assurances that they will be paid. Further, the company intends to create a restructuring
plan that should allow Premier to emerge as a stronger business. Further, as part of its restructuring efforts, the company
will continue to assess the productivity of all assets, review additional cost-cutting initiatives and explore strategic
alternatives to maximize the value of the business.
