  • Loyalty Ventures Inc LYLT filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas.
  • The company also disclosed plans to delist its common stock from the Nasdaq voluntarily.
  • Earlier today, LoyaltyOne, Co subsidiary of the company, sought protection under the Companies Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.
  • The company's board decided to delist and deregister after careful consideration of the company's current situation, including filing the chapter 11 cases. In addition, the board determined that it is in the company's best interest to withdraw the listing and registration to reduce the costs of compliance with the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq.
  • Concurrently, the Bank Of Montreal BMO agreed to acquire LoyaltyOne's AIR MILES Reward Program (AIR MILES) business. The financial terms of the transaction remain undisclosed.
