Karyopharm Therapeutics Files for Chapter 11 Amid Merger Plan
Shares of Karyopharm Therapeutics plummeted 84% to 11 cents as the cancer-focused drug developer initiated bankruptcy proceedings. The company, which had warned of insolvency risks as early as September, now plans to navigate a court-supervised sale while securing $55 million in debtor-in-possession financing from its existing lenders.
The collapse follows a period of acute liquidity pressure. In September, the company explicitly disclosed that its cash runway would expire by October 15, leaving it unable to continue as a going concern without a strategic transaction or an injection of capital. This restructuring deal aims to resolve those funding gaps by leveraging support from current noteholders and key stakeholders.
