An all-star lineup of seafood executives on Thursday announced they would join private equity group Bregal Partners in a deleveraging recapitalization of struggling fisheries giant American Seafoods that will put the company back on firm financial footing.

Pacific Seafood Group, one of North America’s largest seafood companies, will be joined by Bumble Bee Seafoods CEO Chris Lischewski and former Icicle Seafoods CEO Amy Humphreys in the capital investment and refinancing of the company’s debt, establishing what the company describes as a “patient and strategic investor base.”

 
Earlier this month, the company announced private equity firm Bregal Partners and a group of undisclosed investors had participated in a recapitalization and refinancing of the company.
