Tintri, Inc. (NASDAQ: TNTR) today announced that, on July
10, 2018, it filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11
of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. Tintri will continue
to operate its businesses as a debtor-in-possession under the
jurisdiction of the bankruptcy court.
Tintri intends to continue its efforts to enter into a strategic
transaction, including a sale of the company or its assets,
following the bankruptcy filing. In this regard, the company has
entered into a letter of intent with DataDirect Networks (“DDN”),
which contemplates the purchase of substantially all of the
company’s assets by DDN under Section 363 of Title 11 of the United
States Code. The DDN letter of intent is non-binding and provides
no guarantee that a transaction will be completed. The terms of any
potential transaction with DDN, or any other strategic
counterparty, are subject to a number of contingencies, including
the negotiation and execution of definitive transaction agreements,
the completion of a bidding process as provided for by the
bankruptcy court, and final approval of the bankruptcy court.
Consequently, there can be no assurance that Tintri’s efforts to
consummate a strategic transaction, including the proposed
transaction with DDN, will be successful. Furthermore, even if
Tintri were to complete a strategic transaction, the proceeds of
any such transaction may be insufficient to allow the company to
pay its creditors in full. In any event, Tintri does not anticipate
that its stockholders will receive any return on their shares.
Additionally, Tintri has arranged for financing that is intended
to bridge the company to a strategic transaction. This financing is
expected to consist of amounts available under a proposed
superpriority secured debtor-in-possession credit facility with
TriplePoint Capital, LLC, as well as the continued use of accounts
receivable collections under the company’s secured credit facility
with Silicon Valley Bank. This financing is subject to, among other
things, the approval of the bankruptcy court.
“We are very pleased to be closely collaborating with Tintri’s
cofounders, team members, advisors and creditors to develop a
winning plan which is designed to provide Tintri’s customers with
continuity in support of their installed base as well as a winning
roadmap for their long term requirements,” said Alex Bouzari, CEO
and co-founder of DDN.
“Tintri looks forward to continuing to work with DDN on its
proposal, which, if completed, would be expected to allow the
company to continue to provide its industry-leading technology to
the marketplace following the bankruptcy process and into the
future,” said Kieran Harty, Tintri’s founder and Chief Technology
Officer.
