Anthology Inc. Files for Bankruptcy After Failed Sale
Anthology Inc., a company that provides software for education, has filed for bankruptcy.
This happened because the company had too much debt from a previous purchase.
The company's business has also been doing poorly lately, and the rising interest rates have made their debt even harder to manage.
They had hoped to sell parts of the business but were unsuccessful.
Now, they will sell some of their different software divisions to other companies.
This is a result of economic factors impacting the tech industry.
Anthology Inc., backed by Veritas Capital, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
The filing occurred after a failed attempt to sell the company.
Anthology merged with Blackboard Inc. in 2021.
The company faced declining new bookings and higher customer attrition.
The high debt from the acquisition became unmanageable due to interest rates.
