The Green Giant and Le Sueur brands trace their roots to Le Sueur, Minnesota in 1903, and the Minnesota Valley Canning Company. For more than 100 years, fresh and great-tasting Green Giant and Le Sueur vegetables have been grown and picked at the peak of perfection in the Valley of the Jolly Green Giant. Green Giant has been implementing sustainability into the business since 1929 when it introduced vacuum-pack technology, and Green Giant has plans to continue to become "greener" in the future. B&G Foods intends to fund the acquisition and related fees and expenses with additional revolving loans and new incremental terms loans under its existing credit facility. B&G Foods has received financing commitments from Barclays Bank PLC, BofA Merrill Lynch and RBC Capital Markets. Barclays and RBC Capital Markets acted as financial advisors to B&G Foods.
