Six of the parties have hired large investment banks, according to Joshua Scherer of Perella Weinberg, who was hired by Hostess to sell its assets.

Scherer also said that in recent days large national retailers had contacted Hostess about its businesses. Scherer was testifying at a hearing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in White Plains, N.Y., where Hostess was seeking final approval to begin selling its assets and go out of business.
