Reynolds Aids Champion

HUNTINGTON, WV—Marshall Reynolds, CEO of Champion Industries, has lent a hand to his troubled company courtesy of a $3 million loan, according to the Charleston (WV) Gazette. The loan provided Champion with added time to amend a credit agreement that the company defaulted on early in 2009. Absent the loan, Champion could have been forced 
to immediately repay debts that totaled more than $65 million last November.
