Sept 12 (Reuters) - U.S. telecom services provider
Mobileum said on Thursday it had emerged from the Chapter 11
bankruptcy process, and secured $60 million of new financing to
fund its bankruptcy process, with $100 million of financing for
prepetition debt.
The company said it has eliminated approximately $530
million in prepetition debt. It previously sought to cut $529
million in debt.
The telecom services provider filed for bankruptcy in July,
amid its private equity owners battling over allegations that
the company overstated its profits when marketing itself for
sale.
Private equity firm HIG bought a majority stake in the
company from Audax in a $915 million deal in 2022. The firms
later sued each other, with HIG alleging that Audax helped
artificially inflate Mobileum's financial results before selling
it to HIG.
Audax denied the allegations and filed its own lawsuit,
saying that HIG's mismanagement "promptly ran what was a
high-performing business into the ground."
