Royal Paper Files Chapter 11 in District of Delaware

By Bondoro

Update (April 15, 2025): Bondoro has published a full case summary for the Royal Paper Chapter 11 filing.

Case Summary: Royal Paper Chapter 11
Royal Paper has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy following operational disruptions, supply chain challenges, and a looming debt maturity, supported by a $10 million DIP facility and a $126 million stalking horse bid from Sofidel America.

Royal Interco, LLC and its debtor affiliates⁽¹⁾, known as Royal Paper, a Phoenix, AZ-based manufacturer and distributor of paper products, filed for Chapter 11 protection on Apr. 8 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.

The debtors will seek court approval for DIP financing provided by NXT Capital, LLC to fund the cases and facilitate a sale process for substantially all assets. The process is expected to be anchored by a stalking horse APA with Sofidel America Corp., subject to higher and better offers.

The company reports $100 million to $500 million in both assets and liabilities. The filing indicates that no funds will be available for distribution to unsecured creditors after administrative expenses are paid. The case number is 25-10674.

⁽¹⁾ For a complete list of debtor entities, see the Chapter 11 Debtors table.
