Pharmacy chain Rite Aid says it has filed for bankruptcy and obtained nearly $3.5 billion in fresh financing as it carries out a restructuring plan.
Major U.S. pharmacy chain Rite Aid said Sunday that it has filed for bankruptcy and obtained $3.45 billion in fresh financing as it carries out a restructuring plan while coping with falling sales and opioid-related lawsuits. In 2022, Rite Aid settled for up to $30 million to resolve lawsuits alleging that pharmacies contributed to an oversupply of prescription opioids.
The Justice Department acted after three whistleblowers who had worked at Rite Aid pharmacies filed a complaint. Jeffrey Stein, who heads a financial advisory firm, was appointed Rite Aid's CEO as of Sunday, replacing Elizabeth Burr, who was interim CEO and remains on Rite Aid's board. Earlier this month, Rite Aid notified the New York Stock Exchange that it was not in compliance with listing standards. During a grace period, the company's stock continues to be listed and traded.
