2. To my knowledge and belief, Bestar
has provided all available documents
and information responsive to the
CPSC’s requests.
3. To my knowledge and belief, the
information provided by Bestar to the
CPSC does not, as of the date of the
Settlement Agreement, and did not, at
the time provided to the CPSC, contain
any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit any material fact necessary in
order to make the statement therein, in
light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading.
4. Bestar has insufficient cash or other
liquid assets to satisfy a civil penalty
payment in excess of $4,000,000. Bestar
is wholly owned by shareholders who
will not infuse additional capital into
the company, and who are under no
obligation to do so.
5. As of December 31, 2023, Bestar
breached certain loan covenants based
on its financial ratios and was in Default
under the terms of its Credit Agreement.
Bestar has provided copies of the
Tolerance Letter entered into between
Bestar and its lenders to CPSC staff. As
a result of this breach, Bestar has been
unable to obtain additional funding
from its existing lenders and was
operating under a ‘‘Tolerance Period’’
while in Default. Since then, Bestar has
been cooperating with its lenders to
continue operations while it works
toward a long-term solution for its dire
financial condition.
91371
6. Bestar has attempted to obtain
funding from unaffiliated third-parties
but has been unable to secure such
funding. To my knowledge, Bestar has
provided copies of these documents and
communications to CPSC staff.
7. Any civil penalty payment by
Bestar in excess of $4,000,000, would
cause Bestar significant financial
hardship and compel Bestar to cease
operations as an ongoing business.
I declare under penalty of perjury that
the foregoing is true and correct to my
knowledge and belief. I understand that
any intentional false statement in this
declaration may be a criminal offense
under 18 U.S.C. 1001.
