Diamond Comic Distributors Receives Court Approval for $41 Million in Debtor-in-Possession Financing

Diamond Comic Distributors (“Diamond” or “the Company”), today announced that the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maryland (“the Court”) has approved Diamond’s $41 million debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) financing agreement with JP Morgan Chase.

DIP financing is a typical form of financing used by businesses that are restructuring through a Chapter 11 process. It will be used to fund operating expenses and provide adequate working capital to meet its obligations to suppliers.

“We are pleased that the court has approved our DIP financing agreement. This Court-approved relief is a critical step for the company, ensuring we can pay our vendors and provide product to retailers,” said President Chuck Parker.
