\n

The stock had closed Friday\u2019s regular session down 6.6% at 42 cents a share, giving the company a market capitalization of just under $170 million. <\/p>\n

In a statement late Friday, SmileDirectClub said that its \u201cfounders have committed to invest at least $20 million to bolster the company\u2019s balance sheet and to protect its near- and long-term financial health,\u201d and that \u201cup to $60 million of additional capital is available upon satisfaction of certain conditions.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThe founders\u2019 investment in the company reflects their commitment to SmileDirectClub\u2019s mission of democratizing access to premium oral care, as well their conviction in the success of the recently launched SmileMaker Platform and CarePlus growth initiatives,\u201d the company said. <\/p>\n

\u201cTo effectuate the transaction, SmileDirectClub has voluntarily filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas,\u201d according to the company.<\/p>\n

SmileDirectClub has had a rocky time of it since its public debut a little over four years ago, when the company priced some 58.5 million shares at $23. <\/p>\n

The stock never closed above $19.48, which occurred a week after the IPO, and had traded at a record intraday high of $21.10 during its post-IPO debut on the Nasdaq exchange, according to FactSet data.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
