A major essential company has now filed for an unexpected bankruptcy after falling into massive dept with its creditors.

“Air Methods provides critical services that literally mean the difference between life and death on a daily basis and for thousands of people each year,” reports TheStreet.

“The company has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in order to put in place an agreement to restructure the company with its key debtholders.”

The company which currently has $1.7 billion in debt, would see its debt erased as its creditors become the majority shareholders in the company.

“Critical care does not begin in the emergency room. It begins at the scene of the accident or the moment a life-threatening illness strikes.

Air Methods has a talented workforce of over 4,500 team members, which includes the best in the air medical industry,” the company shared on its website.

Under the terms of the deal, all outstanding bills would be paid and workers would receive their full pay and benefits without any delays.

The company says that it is currently continuing normal operations.

The deal would provide Air Methods with a whopping $80 million in working capital.

CEO JaeLynn Williams said the deal was needed so the company could keep providing its lifesaving care services. “”

“With increased financial flexibility and access to additional capital, we will be better positioned to continue opening new greenfield bases, accelerate our talent acquisition initiatives, execute on our growth initiatives, and equip more emergency personnel with the expertise needed to safely deliver the highest quality air medical care for generations to come,” Williams said in a media statement.

The company plans to complete the restructuring under court approval before the end of the year.
