Judge Confirms Window Maker Atrium’s Bankruptcy-Exit Plan

"A judge paved the way for Atrium Corp. to hand over its window-making business to private-equity firms Golden Gate Private Equity Inc. and Kenner & Co. in a transaction that will slash $400 million in debt from the company's balance sheet.

Joshua Sussberg, an attorney representing Atrium, said that the Dallas-based company intends to close the deal on Friday.

'We've done everything in our power to make sure everything is set and ready for close,' said Sussberg, of Kirkland & Ellis. The plan investor also confirmed that it intended to cement the transaction by the end of the week."
