Filing Summary: On May 6, 2025, WW International, Inc. and its subsidiaries filed for voluntary prepackaged Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. This filing was made to facilitate a prepackaged plan of reorganization aimed at restructuring the company's secured debt. As part of this process, the company received a notice from Nasdaq regarding the delisting of its common stock due to its bankruptcy proceedings. Following this, the stock was suspended from trading on Nasdaq and began trading on the Pink Current Market under a new symbol. On May 30, 2025, the company modified its restructuring support agreement with creditors, adjusting the terms regarding new senior secured debt.
