Food Holdings, Inc.

We are pleased to announce that Brookwood Associates advised Food Holdings, Inc., a portfolio company of Tennessee Valley Ventures, L.P., on the sale of the Company to H.I.G. Capital.  This transaction is Brookwood’s second recently-completed transaction in the food processing sector and highlights our ability to leverage our significant industry knowledge.  The closing, accomplished in an extremely challenging economic environment and the tightest lending market in recent memory, yielded a very attractive outcome for management and the shareholders, as TVV reported an outstanding return on invested capital during the life of the investment.  Critical components of the marketing strategy included clearly establishing the Company’s continuing growth trajectory and thoughtfully portraying a complex, multi-faceted business and industry story.
