(Reuters) - Testifying Tuesday in a Delaware Chancery Court Zoom trial, a partner from the private equity fund Snow Phipps accused counterparts at Kohlberg & Company of telling him “a lie” last April, when Kohlberg said that its funders were no longer willing to back Kohlberg’s $550 million acquisition of the Snow Phipps portfolio company DecoPac, a cake decorating wholesaler.
Snow Phipps’ Alan Mantel told Vice Chancellor
Kathaleen McCormick that the funders, most of whom were already providing financing to the cake decorating company, were in fact willing to move forward on the terms they had negotiated with Kohlberg in March – but that Kohlberg was using the escalating coronavirus pandemic to push for more favorable terms. “They had no right to walk,” Mantel said Tuesday morning.
