On September 26, 2022, Endoceutics has commenced proceedings in obtaining protection under the Creditors Arrangement Act (the “CCAA”), allowing Endoceutics to maintain sufficient liquidity to proceed with the restructuring without the need to seek interim financing. A Sale and Investment Solicitation Process was approved by the Court on December 7, 2022.
On May 18, 2023, despite the contestation of Endoceutics’ main secured creditor, the Court granted Endoceutics’ motion and approved two sale transactions allowing the debtors’ ongoing operations.
