The company intends to pursue a 363 sale process under Chapter 11 in order to maximize value for its creditors.
In connection with the Chapter 11 proceedings, the company expects to seek customary "first-day" relief. If approved by the Court, this relief would allow Lipella to continue day-to-day operations, including maintaining cash management systems and paying employee wages and benefits in the ordinary course.
