The environmental and process monitoring of emissions is critical in industries, both for production (quality of finished products), reducing green house gases (GHG) and harmful emissions, but also fuel savings which reduces consumption of natural gas, coal, and alternative fuels. Cement plants are one of the major contributors to GHG emissions globally. Enhanced monitoring and management may improve operating efficiency and lead to GHG emission reductions.
Forbearance Agreement
The Company is in compliance with its Forbearance Agreement and is working closely with its secured lender. The Company is in discussions with multiple Schedule A Banks as it continues to deleverage and reduce its secured debt obligations.
“In 2023 and into 2024 we had a primary focus on deleveraging and right sizing the balance sheet. As we look at our growth plans for 2024, we believe we are in a good position to negotiate long-term lending terms which will support future growth including potential tuck-in acquisitions. We will take the appropriate time in Q1, 2024 to evaluate the best debt solution for the Company,” continues Ghezzi.
The Company anticipates a transition to a traditional lending agreement in Q1 2024.
