Item 8.01 Other Events.
On December 9, 2022, one of TriplePoint Private Venture Credit Inc.’s (the “Company”) borrowers, Medly Health Inc., and its subsidiaries (“Medly”), filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
As stated in the bankruptcy filings, Medly sought bankruptcy protection due to adverse developments and liquidity issues precipitated by the loss of anticipated financing and the discovery of certain operational, financial and accounting irregularities and improper activities conducted by former employees, including the original founders.
Medly’s filings seek Bankruptcy Court approval for the sale of certain of its assets, including a sale of its Pharmaca line of business to a stalking horse purchaser in which the Company has a non-controlling economic ownership interest. As part of the bankruptcy process, Medly, as debtor-in-possession, is also seeking Court approval for a debtor-in-possession credit facility provided by the Company and its affiliates, of which the Company’s portion is up to approximately $2.3 million, and would be senior to Medly’s other pre-bankruptcy credit and note facilities.
As a result of the filings, the Company has placed its investments in Medly on non-accrual status effective October 1, 2022. Although the amount of recovery of the Company’s investments in Medly is not yet determinable, the Company expects to assign its investments in Medly a rating of 5 under its credit watch list and fully write-down the fair value of its investments in Medly, excluding the debtor-in-possession credit facility, while actively monitoring Medly’s bankruptcy proceedings on an ongoing basis to evaluate its ability to recover any amounts on its investments in the future.
