We believe the combination is also in the mutual best interests of both Cenveo and National, as it creates a financially stronger company. We look forward to a seamless integration of the businesses and to continuing to provide the highest level of service to customers.”

Pursuant to the definitive agreements with Cenveo and its partners, the company will request the U.S. Bankruptcy Court 2 for the District of Delaware to authorize the company to proceed with the sale on Sept. 13, 2013. Macquarie Capital acted as Cenveo’s exclusive financial advisor in connection with the transaction. Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP acted as Cenveo’s legal advisor on the transaction.
National Envelope and Cenveo assure its customers that a smooth integration is expected and that orders will continue to be produced and shipped in the normal course of business.
