Olympia, Wash., May 5 – CarbonLite Holdings LLC received court approval of an extension of the sale-related timeline under its four-part debtor-in-possession financing package, according to an order filed Tuesday with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.

The lenders agreed to several extensions, including extending the deadline to submit qualified bids for the company’s assets to May 12 from May 5, the date of the auction to May 17 from May 12, the sale hearing to May 26 from May 20, and the deadline to close the sale to June 3 from May 31.
