Cavion Technologies Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Reorganization
ENGLEWOOD, CO - DECEMBER 22, 2000 -- Cavion Technologies (Nasdaq: CAVN)
filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 in the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Colorado on December 21, 2000.
The filing stays creditors from collecting pre-petition debt and interest.
Under the reorganization, filed as case # 00-25262-DEC, the debtor remains
in possession of current operations and assets during the reorganization
period.
The company is in active negotiations with several entities interested in
acquiring Cavion's assets and providing capital to continue operations and
services. The company anticipates filing an initial request for approval
of interim financing during the week ending December 30, providing that
acceptable agreements are reached.
Cavion intends to proceed with discussions with lenders interested in
providing debtor in possession financing and hopes to have financing in
place within 30 days.
