UPDATE 1-Interstate Bakeries in "productive" talks with lender
01/16 10:07 PM
NEW YORK, Jan 13 (Reuters) - Interstate Bakeries Corp (IBCIQ:$0.0400,$0.0010,2.56%) , the bankrupt maker of Wonder Bread and Twinkies treats, said on Tuesday that it is in "productive discussions" with lender GE Capital Corp regarding a credit agreement that has been delaying its bankruptcy exit.
The company said it is working with the General Electric Co (GE:$13.17,00$-0.79,00-5.66%) unit to

finalize documentation for an asset-based revolving credit agreement and that it is hopeful the documentation will be finalized "in the very near future."
Once the agreement is finalized, the company said it is hopeful its

bankruptcy exit financing will close.
"All parties in the discussion are focused on the importance of

completing the transaction, in order to allow IBC to emerge from Chapter 11," the company said in a statement.
General Electric Capital Corp and GE Capital Markets agreed last year to

provide $125 million in revolving credit to the company.
Interstate Bakeries (IBCIQ:$0.0400,$0.0010,2.56%) is facing a Feb. 9 deadline on its

debtor-in-possession financing. The company had intended to emerge from its lengthy bankruptcy before the end of December.
