BAWT Enterprises LLC, the parent company of climate data analytics firm Athenium, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Delaware on Friday, proposing a prepackaged plan to transfer ownership of the company to its creditors. The New Hampshire-based company, which specializes in software and real-time weather data services, seeks to restructure its debts and reorganize its business.

PBAWT Filed For Chapter 11 : proposed Reorganization Plan

BAWT's Chapter 11 filing lists between $10 million and $50 million in both debt and assets. Under the prepackaged bankruptcy plan, 65% of the company’s equity would be handed over to its secured lender, venture capital firm Hale Capital Partners LP. Another 14% of the reorganized company’s equity would go to a group of unsecured noteholders.

Hale Capital Partners, which is also providing an exit loan, will play a key role in the company's post-bankruptcy recovery. The exit financing is expected to facilitate BAWT’s reemergence from bankruptcy.
