A message for subscribers of Popular Woodworking magazine
Popular Woodworking
To Our Valued Customer,
Over the years, F+W Media, Inc. and its affiliated companies ("F+W
Media") have strived to provide inspiration, instruction, and exclusive
products and services through its various magazines, online education,
print and digital books, subscription video sites, consumer and trade
events, and online stores. Many things have changed over the years, but
one will always remain the same: our commitment to you, our customer, in
making sure that you have access to the latest content of our craft,
art, writing, design, knitting, quilting, and outdoor enthusiast
communities.
We recently announced a plan to strengthen F+W Media through a financial
restructuring. This plan is designed to guarantee that there will be no
change in the services and content that our customers expect from F+W Media.
In order to avoid any confusion or inaccuracy, I am writing to you
personally to share two things that we want all customers to know:
We are open for business. Customers can continue to subscribe to
our magazines and shop across our online stores without disruption.
All orders will arrive on time as promised.
The financial restructuring will be done through a court-supervised
process. On March 10, 2019, we began that process by voluntarily filing
reorganization cases under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the
District of Delaware. Operations will continue as usual throughout the
court-supervised process, including meeting and exceeding the needs of
our valued customers.
We have asked for, and the court has approved, our ability to keep
serving you in the same way we have in the past. At F+W Media, we are
honored to offer products that provide inspiration in the daily lives of
our customers and we want to thank you for being a part of our
enthusiast communities. If you have specific questions with respect to
our Chapter 11 reorganization please contact us here.
