From the Distilled Spirits Council of The United States comes great news for the famed Glencairn whisky glass and the company that produces them - Stolzle Glass of Germany. According to the Council, Glencairn continues to go from strength to strength Stateside this year. The family-owned award-winning crystal company has today announced that its iconic Glencairn wee whisky glass has been selected by the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States to be the esteemed organisation’s official tasting glass for this year.

At these tasting events, and others throughout the remainder of 2018 and into 2019, the Council will raise these glasses with media, members of Congress and other government representatives, as well as opinion leaders and influencers. The collaboration will see the Glencairn whisky glass being used as the official glass of the Council’s regular events and tastings. Scott Davidson, New Product Development Director at Glencairn said: “We are delighted to have been chosen by such a prestigious and influential organisation within the US drinks industry as their official glassware partner.

EveryWare Global, Inc., parent to the Oneida and Anchor Hocking brands, announced that it is moving forward with the restructuring plan announced on April 1, 2015 and has filed voluntary Chapter 11 petitions to implement a prepackaged financial restructuring that cancels approximately $248 million of the Company's long-term debt in exchange for common stock representing 96% of the Company's common stock post-emergence. As previously disclosed, the terms of the restructuring support agreement include, among other things: · up to $40 million in debtor-in-possession (DIP) facility to provide liquidity during the restructuring · a reorganization plan that, after emergence from bankruptcy, provides for the secured lenders to become the owners of 96% of EveryWare Global's common stock · payment in full in cash for all holders of allowed general unsecured claims · trade vendors will continue to be paid in the ordinary course · a plan for EveryWare Global to cease to be a publicly traded company Given the typical speed of a "prepackaged" plan of reorganization, the EveryWare Global says expects to emerge from bankruptcy within 60-75 days. Importantly, the restructuring plan will create a sustainable capital structure that will ensure that the EveryWare Global is well positioned to invest in the business and pursue future growth opportunities. "We are moving forward with our previously announced, lender supported restructuring plan," said Sam Solomon, President and Chief Executive Officer of EveryWare Global. "The liquidity provided by our lenders during this process allows us to focus on running the business in the ordinary course while we deleverage our balance sheet." EveryWare Global, Inc., parent of the Oneida and Anchor Hocking brands, announced that it has reached an agreement with its secured lenders on a comprehensive balance-sheet restructuring that, among other things, will substantially reduce the Company's long-term debt. The prepackaged bankruptcy plan is expected to allow the Company to operate its business in the ordinary course throughout the restructuring. The Company also believes this plan will minimize the time and expense spent in restructuring and will provide for sufficient liquidity during the restructuring. Importantly, the restructuring plan will create a sustainable capital structure that will ensure that the Company is well positioned to invest in the business and pursue future growth opportunities. "We are pleased to have the support of our lenders to move forward with a restructuring plan that addresses our balance sheet to secure a bright future for our company," said Sam Solomon, President and CEO of EveryWare Global. "We have made considerable progress improving our day-to-day operations and this restructuring plan strengthens the Company's balance sheet for long-term success. We are confident that this plan is in the best interest of our customers, vendors, employees and our business partners." To implement the restructuring, the Company expects to file voluntary petitions for a prepackaged chapter 11 bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. On March 31, 2015, EveryWare Global and its lenders executed a restructuring support agreement specifying the details of a restructuring support agreement that sets forth the material terms of the Chapter 11 restructuring and of a debtor-in-possession facility to provide liquidity during the restructuring. Given the typical speed of a "prepackaged" plan of reorganization, the Company expects to emerge from bankruptcy within 60-75 days. The plan for reorganization contemplates that after emergence from bankruptcy, the secured lenders will become the owners of 96% ofEveryWare Global's common stock and that EveryWare Global will cease to be a publicly traded company.
