RE: Notification of Salem-Repack Plant Closure Pursuant to the Worker Adjustment and RetrainingNolification Act of 1988 ("WARN")
As you are aware, the Company on August 22, 20 19 filed for bankruptcy protection and entered into anAsset Purchase Agreement with Oregon Potato Company (OPC) whereby OPC was going, to purchaseall ofNORPAC's facilities. As part of the bankruptcy process, NORPAC was able to secure an interimloan from its banks which provided for financing only through October 31, 2019.
On October 18, 2019 OPC withdrew its bid to purchase NORPAC's facilities. While NORPAC hascontinued to have discussions with companies about purchasing some or all ofNORPAC's assets, as oftoday NORPAC does not yet have a buyer. Additionally, NORPAC has attempted to secure additionalfinancing, but as of today has not been successful.
As a result, we are providing notice of the closure of the Salem-Repack plant, located at 3305 25th St.
SE, Salem, Oregon 97302; and tentatively expect that your employment with NORPAC will beterminated effective January 12, 2020 or within fourteen (14) days thereafter. While NORPAC willcontinue to seek additional financing and to have discussions with various companies about purchasingits facilities, there is no guarantee that this will happen. Therefore, pursuant to Federal law we are issuingyou this Notice.
Additional information:
1. The above-referenced facility is considered a single site of employment for WARN purposes.
2. The plant closure is presently expected to be permanent.
