Summary
Modivcare Inc. has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy as part of a broader effort to restructure its financial position and reduce approximately $1.1 billion in debt. The Denver-based company provides technology-enabled health care services, including non-emergency medical transportation, personal care, remote patient monitoring, and meal delivery.
The filing comes amid ongoing challenges, including contract losses and regulatory changes affecting parts of its business. Despite these issues, the company has secured strong support from lenders, including a restructuring agreement backed by over 90% of first lien lenders and more than 70% of second lien lenders, along with $100 million in debtor-in-possession financing.
As Adam Stein-Sapir explains:
“Chapter 11 is what you file when you have a hope of rehabilitation, when you have a company that is still operating and just needs a breathing spell to get its affairs in order…”
In addition to the bankruptcy filing, Modivcare will be delisted from the Nasdaq, with trading expected to move to the OTC market.
