Akoustis Technologies Inc. (AKTS) has announced its voluntary filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. This strategic decision is intended to provide the company with the flexibility necessary to finalize its ongoing marketing and sale efforts, all while maintaining its commitment to serving its global customer base.
The filing coincides with the aftermath of a recent legal dispute with Qorvo, Inc., where Akoustis was mandated to pay approximately $59 million as a result of allegations concerning trade secret misappropriation and patent infringement.
To facilitate the sale process, Akoustis has signed a stalking horse asset purchase agreement with Gordon Brothers Commercial & Industrial, LLC for specific assets of the company. Prior to initiating the Chapter 11 proceedings, Akoustis engaged in negotiations with several interested parties regarding the future operations of the company via a potential sale of its assets. The company plans to leverage the court-supervised sale process to achieve the highest and best possible bid for its assets.
