Inotiv Files Prepackaged Chapter 11, Secures $90M Financing, Cuts $326M Debt
Summary
Inotiv has filed for a voluntary prepackaged Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Texas, aiming to recapitalize and reduce its debt by approximately $326 million. The company has secured $25 million in debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing and commitments for an additional $65 million in new money financing. This move follows months of liquidity covenant waivers and a recent 10-Q filing that warned of imminent default on its convertible notes. The restructuring provides a critical path for Inotiv to address its severe financial distress and continue operations, though existing equity holders are likely to face substantial dilution or loss.
