Gauzy Wins Court Approval to Wipe Out $61M Legacy Debt, Secures $7M PIPE
GAUZ sits 57% above its 52-week low of $4.606 on light trading volume (0.2× avg).
Summary
Gauzy's Tel Aviv court approved its debt settlement, resolving approximately $61 million in pre-petition liabilities with 98.96% creditor support, including all secured lenders. The company also secured a $7 million PIPE led by CEO Eyal Peso to fund working capital and employee claims. Post-settlement ownership shifts to 50% management, 20% creditors, and 30% existing shareholders, with a six-year repayment plan totaling about $18 million. This follows the reverse split completed September 11 and removes the insolvency overhang, though French subsidiaries remain in rehabilitation proceedings. The balance sheet is now de-risked, but the company still faces Nasdaq compliance and operational challenges.
At the time of this announcement, GAUZ was trading at $7.21 on NASDAQ in the Technology sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $8.2M. The 52-week trading range was $4.61 to $141.60.
