Edgio, Inc. (NASDAQ:EGIO) and certain of its affiliates (collectively, "Edgio" or the "Company"), the platform of choice for security, speed, and simplicity, today announced that it has voluntarily filed for chapter 11 relief (the "Chapter 11 Cases") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Court") to effectuate one or more sale transactions that should allow for the continued operation of the Company's business under new ownership.
The Company enters this process with the support of its primary lender, Lynrock Lake Master Fund LP ("Lynrock"), to facilitate a smooth and efficient completion of the Chapter 11 Cases.

Prior to the commencement of Chapter 11 Cases, the Company engaged in discussions with a number of interested parties with respect to a potential sale of all or part of the Company's businesses and assets. In response to such interest, the Company intends to use a Court-supervised sale process to seek the highest or otherwise best bid for its assets, including its valuable individual business product offerings:
