The purchase increased the amount of the term debt held by Pacific Ethanol to a combined $58,766,000, which is eliminated upon consolidation. As a result, the Company has no continuing obligations to any third-party lender under the credit agreements associated with the Pacific Ethanol West Plants’ term debt.
