Avaya Holdings Likely To File For Bankruptcy: Report

• Avaya Holdings Corp (NYSE: AVYA) will likely file for chapter 11 bankruptcy. Earlier in the week, Avaya said it is considering restructuring proposals from creditor groups.

• The technology company, Bloomberg reported, has been trying to clear problems around its accounting standards.

• In August, the company said it was doubtful about continuing its operations. The company did not file a second-quarter earnings report and said it wouldn’t submit an annual report due to the investigations into its balance sheets.

• Avaya previously filed for chapter 11 five years ago, and then it exited bankruptcy nearly a year later.

• The report noted the company had tapped law firm Kirkland & Ellis LLP and turnaround adviser AlixPartners LLP to help explore restructuring options.

• Price Action: AVYA shares are trading lower by 28.96% at $0.3660 in premarket on the last check Friday.
