LifeScan Reaches Milestone Transaction to Improve Financial Flexibility and Enable Future-Focused Investments
Initiates Prearranged Financial Restructuring Process to Significantly Strengthen Balance Sheet Operations Continue in the Ordinary Course, Including Full Continuity of OneTouch® Glucose Measurement and Management Offerings MALVERN, Pa., July 15, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LifeScan, Inc. ("LifeScan" or the "Company"), a world leader in blood glucose monitoring, today announced that it has entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement ("RSA") with its first- and second-lien lenders and current equity sponsor, Platinum Equity, that will transform its balance sheet and position the Company for a stronger and more profitable future. As contemplated in the RSA, LifeScan expects to reduce more than 75% of its debt, which will enable the Company to accelerate strategic investments that will support the future of the business. To implement the RSA as efficiently as possible, LifeScan filed voluntary petitions for prearranged chapter 11 cases in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the "Court"). LifeScan's international subsidiaries are not included in the chapter 11 filing in the U.S. The Company expects to emerge from this process under the majority ownership of a group of the Company's existing lenders, with whom it has had a longstanding and productive relationship. Importantly, the Company's financial partners recognize the strong and growing potential of the glucose management industry, and through this process have committed their support for LifeScan's go-forward strategy. "This balance sheet restructuring will significantly strengthen LifeScan's financial position, enabling us to continue serving more than 20 million customers across 50+ countries and put new growth strategies in place," said Valerie Asbury, Chief Executive Officer of LifeScan. "LifeScan is always evolving to meet the needs of our valued customers. In the U.S., we will continue to take action to expand access to OneTouch® so consumers can continue to manage their health with our reliable and affordable products, without the need for a prescription. We recognize that our products are essential for people with diabetes to make life-sustaining decisions and are evolving our model to bring products and services to market through multiple channels. I am deeply grateful for the partnership of our lenders and sponsor and the unyielding commitment of our employees, which will enable us to become a stronger company and create a world without limits for people with diabetes." With a stronger financial foundation upon emerging from this process, LifeScan will be better positioned to invest in its global business. The Company will continue to prioritize product availability and superior customer service as it works proactively to become one of the most comprehensive players in the glucose management industry. As part of this effort, the Company intends to accelerate strategies in the U.S. market that offer both stronger economics and more predictable patient access. LifeScan will continue to operate in the ordinary course of business during its chapter 11 cases and is focused on delivering on its commitments to customers, vendors, and employees. The Company has filed a number of customary "first day" motions which, upon approval by the Court, will enable LifeScan to continue operating as usual, including continuing to pay employee wages and benefits, maintaining customer programs, and honoring post-petition obligations to vendors. The Company expects to have the necessary liquidity to support operations during this process and anticipates emerging from chapter 11 by the end of the year.

Stellantis trying to save key supplier CLN
Stellantis is taking steps to save one of its key suppliers according to a number of media reports. CLN-Coils Lamiere Nastri SpA (CLN) supplies a range of steel-based automotive components to Stellantis, but is experiencing a severe financial crisis amid mounting debt levels. The Italy-based supplier has manufacturing plants in a number of European countries, as well as in Latin America. The Bloomberg news agency reports that Stellantis is prepared to pay more (an addistional 3% on Italian contracts) than its contracted prices for CLN-supplied parts, in order to keep the company afloat. Stellantis is CLN's main customer, a legacy of its historical position as a supplier to Fiat in Italy. Earlier this year it was reported that Stellantis could purchase CLN plants in Italy (and possibly elsewhere) as part of a wider financial restructuring plan. Stellantis is reportedly anxious to reduce risk in its supply chain as it looks to step up production in Italy. "Stellantis trying to save key supplier CLN – reports" was originally created and published by Just Auto, a GlobalData owned brand.

Crescent Energy Company (NYSE:CRGY) is a differentiated energy company with operations focused in Texas and the Rockies. The company also operates conventional assets in Wyoming, where it is active in carbon capture, use, and storage. Crescent Energy Company (NYSE:CRGY) took a hit after the company announced a strategic financial restructuring this week. Crescent Energy revealed that it plans to issue $600 million of 8.375% Senior Notes due 2034 in a private placement to eligible purchasers. The offering size was previously announced at $500 million, but the company later raised it by another $100 million.
