Corporate Action: Bankruptcy

Type: New

Accession Number: 000119312525067076

Filing Summary: On March 24, 2025, 23andMe Holding Co. and certain subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions seeking relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. Following this announcement, Nasdaq notified the Company that it would be delisted from The Nasdaq Stock Market due to the bankruptcy filing. Trading of the Company’s Class A common stock will be suspended on March 31, 2025, unless an appeal is made, which the Company does not intend to pursue. The Company expects its Common Stock to potentially be quoted on the OTC Pink Market but cannot guarantee trading will commence or continue in that venue. Risks associated with the Chapter 11 proceedings include uncertainty regarding Court approvals, potential asset sales, and the overall financial viability of the Company going forward. The report emphasizes that trading in the Company's securities during this bankruptcy period is highly speculative and may not reflect actual recovery for security holders.
