Summary
Inotiv has filed for voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy, aiming to reduce its debt by approximately $326 million. This formalizes the severe financial distress highlighted in recent 10-Q filings and follows months of liquidity covenant waivers. The company has secured $25 million in new debtor-in-possession financing, building on a $40 million bridge loan from May. It's a pre-packaged plan with secured lender support, designed for an expedited emergence. For existing equity holders, Chapter 11 typically results in significant dilution or a complete wipeout.
