In April, American Community Newspapers filed for bankruptcy, making it the seventh and latest newspaper chain to do so in the recession. Recently, it also became the first to emerge from bankruptcy protection.

On Friday, ACN closed its sale to creditors, allowing the emergence. The company sold for $32 million plus $5 million in post bankruptcy financing  to creditors. The company is no longer under its crushing $102 million debt and is able to continue business.

TXCO Resources filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in May. Since then, they have had a $32 million financing agreement approved. This will allow the company to continue operating through the restructuring.

The company was having trouble continuing operations because of fund raising difficulties. This ruling from the US Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas will allow them to continue drilling operations and hold on to some assets.
