Why Is ModivCare Stock (MODV) Up 55% Today?

ModivCare (MODV) stock was on the move Friday after the technology-enabled healthcare services company filed for voluntary Chapter 11 protection. The company said it will use this bankruptcy to enact a comprehensive restructuring transaction supported by the majority of its key stakeholders. Over 90% of First Lien Lenders and more than 70% of Second Lien Lenders have entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (RSA) with ModivCare.

The RSA will provide ModivCare with $100 million in debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing, which the company will use to fund the restructuring process and continue ongoing operations. It will have over $100 million in liquidity and reduce its debt by $1.1 billion after the bankruptcy. This will also reduce its annual cash interest.

According to ModivCare, this restructuring will result in a “stronger, sustainable organization, positioned for growth and well-equipped to meet the critical needs of members across its non-emergency medical transportation, personal care services and remote patient monitoring service lines.”
