Once a digital media darling, Vice Media Group on Monday filed for bankruptcy protection after years of financial troubles.
A consortium of Vice’s lenders which includes Fortress Investment, Soros Fund Management and Monroe Capital is looking to acquire the company following the filing.
The digital media trailblazer, once valued at $5.7 billion and known for sites including Vice and Motherboard, had been restructuring and cutting jobs across its global news business over recent months.
The group set to buy the company will provide $225 million in the form of a credit bid for most of Vice Media’s assets, the company announced on Monday, along with significant liabilities.
In early March it was reported Vice had brought in a ‘restructuring guru’ to help the ailing company while it searched for a buyer.
