SEC Filing Summary: BioFuel Energy Corp. (Form 8-K)
Business Context and Reporting Period
This Current Report on Form 8-K was filed by BioFuel Energy Corp. on November 25, 2013. The filing addresses a material event regarding the company's senior secured credit facility and its ethanol production assets. Note: The request metadata referenced "Green Brick Partners, Inc.," but the filing text explicitly identifies the registrant as BioFuel Energy Corp.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific numerical values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. The report focuses exclusively on a corporate event rather than periodic financial performance data.
Material Changes
- Asset Transfer: Lenders under the company's senior secured credit facility exercised their right under a Deed In Lieu of Foreclosure Agreement to acquire the company's ethanol plants.
- Asset Sale: An entity formed by the lenders completed the previously announced sale of these ethanol plants to Green Plains Renewable Energy, Inc.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management, represented by President and CEO Scott H. Pearce, confirmed the transfer of assets via a press release (Exhibit 99.1). The event signifies a significant restructuring of the company's operations, as the primary production assets have been transferred to lenders and subsequently sold to a third party. The filing does not contain forward-looking guidance or specific risk factors beyond the implications of the foreclosure and asset sale.
