New Chapter 11 Filing - Halt Medical Inc.

in

Halt Medical Inc.

  • 4/12/17 Recap: Brentwood California medical device company filed for bankruptcy because Ares Capital HALTed funding (#dadjoke). The company owns an FDA-cleared proprietary and patented product that uses radiofrequency ablation to destroy uterine fibroids. Yeah, we have no idea what that means either but the use case is bada$$: it is a minimally-intrusive alternative to hysterectomies and myomectomies. The company has lined up a $4.16mm DIP credit facility to fund the cases while it seeks an asset sale to Murray Enterprises LLC as stalking horse bidder.
