The additional capital and stronger financial position from this recapitalization is\u00a0intended to bolster the Company\u2019s balance sheet and fuel growth initiatives to allow SmileDirectClub to thrive as an international oral care leader for many years to come.<\/p>\n<p>SmileDirectClub will seek to recapitalize through a transaction where the Company\u2019s founders 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. Up to $60 million of additional capital is available upon satisfaction of certain conditions, including the favorable conclusion of a marketing process. The 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. To 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.<\/p>\n<p>During this restructuring process, SmileDirectClub intends to continue to provide affordable and accessible oral care to its customers without disruption. The additional liquidity the Company received from its founders, coupled with its normal operating cash flows, is intended to ensure SmileDirectClub is able to continue meeting commitments to stakeholders without disruption throughout this process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt SmileDirectClub, we are committed to delivering a premium customer experience and helping over 2 million customers achieve a smile they love. We are taking this step today to help ensure we are well positioned to build upon the success of our SmileMaker Platform and CarePlus offering and to continue our mission of providing safe, convenient, and effective oral care to our customers,\u201d said David Katzman, Chief Executive Officer of SmileDirectClub. \u201cThis transaction is designed to ensure our future financial structure reflects the talent of our team members and the quality of our business, and I am excited about the future ahead.
