OTHER EVENTS Gencor Industries, Inc., Orlando based manufacturer of industrial process machinery, announced today that it has reached an agreement in principle. with its lender group for the long term refinancing of the Company, and a consensual plan of reorganization. The terms of the agreement are considered by management to be favorable in all aspects to the Company, and will facilitate its early emergence from Chapter 11. The final agreement will be incorporated into a consensual plan to be presented to the Court next week. Additionally, the Company announced today that a buyer has been selected and a final contract executed for the sale of its CPM Group which manufactures machinery primarily for the production of animal feed. The Court has approved the sale procedures and the Company expects the sale to close before May 30, 2001. The Company considers these two events to be significant achievements in its efforts to reorganize the business around the construction equipment markets, which have been Gencor's primary business for the last 30 years. Management is extremely pleased that it was able to strike a mutually beneficial arrangement for the Company and it's lenders, but more importantly, that the agreement will be of great benefit to customers, vendors, and shareholders. "Under the consensual plan, the Company, on closing of the CPM sale will reduce its secured debt to less than $40 million from approximately $112 million less than a year ago. Such a plan is possible because the Lenders are adequately secured and the Company is enjoying good business and profitability". Under the consensual plan, which is subject to final Court approval, the Company's lenders and vendors will be paid in full over time without dilution to shareholder's equity. Gencore Industries designs, manufactures and markets process machinery for the transportation, food and energy production industries. Products include machinery for the production of highway construction material, palletized animal feeds, edible oils, sugar, citrus juices, synthetic fuels and bio-mass energy as well as fuel refining and distilling equipment.
