IronNet Inc. Files Voluntary Chapter 11 Petitions
MCLEAN, Va., Nov. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- IronNet, Inc. ("IronNet" or "the Company") stabilizes operations and continues plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Court" and such cases, the "Chapter 11 Cases" or "Restructuring").
On October 10, 2023, IronNet entered into a binding term sheet (the "Term Sheet") with ITC Global Advisors ("ITC") for a $10M debtor-in-possession financing facility ("DIP").
On October 12, 2023, IronNet filed a variety of "first day" motions seeking customary relief intended to enable the Company and its subsidiaries to continue ordinary course operations during the Restructuring. On October 13, 2013, the Court approved these first day motions, and authorized, on an interim basis, the execution of a reinstatement agreement with Amazon Web Services to reinstate and reactivate its cloud computing services.
Linda Zecher, CEO of IronNet, said, "Against a backdrop of intense restructuring in an uncertain capital raising environment, we remain intent on stabilizing IronNet and serving our customers. With the DIP financing provided by ITC, we believe we are better positioned to act in the interests of our stakeholders through the Restructuring."

Factors relating to the Company's Restructuring potentially causing actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to; the ability to obtain Court approval of motions filed, risks associated with any third-party motions, potential adverse effects of the Restructuring on the Company's liquidity or results of operations and increased legal and other professional costs necessary to execute the Company's reorganization, duration of the Restructuring, Court rulings in and the outcome of the Restructuring in general, and any effects of Restructuring on the Company and on the interests of various constituents.
Additionally, conditions to which the Company's cash collateral is subject and the risk that these conditions may not be satisfied for various reasons, including reasons outside of the Company's control; consequences of the acceleration of the Company's debt obligations and the trading price and volatility of the Company's common stock, and risks and uncertainties stated in the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2023, and other documents filed by the Company from time to time with the SEC.
