Rivian Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>) remains committed to its $45,000 starting price for the upcoming R2 electric vehicle despite mounting concerns over global trade tensions and tariffs, CEO RJ Scaringe confirmed during the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45236756/rivian-q1-earnings-double-beat-record-gross-profit-delivery-estimates-lowered-on-tariff-concerns">company&#8217;s first-quarter of 2025 earnings call</a>.
What Happened: &#8220;We&#8217;re not planning changes in our $45,000 starting price. This is important for us,&#8221; Scaringe said, addressing investor concerns about the impact of recent tariffs on EV components. The company expects per-unit tariff impacts of approximately $2,000 for 2025.
Rivian reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45236756/rivian-q1-earnings-double-beat-record-gross-profit-delivery-estimates-lowered-on-tariff-concerns">better-than-expected first-quarter results</a> with an Earnings Per Share of -$0.41. Revenue reached $1.24 billion, exceeding the street consensus estimate of $1 billion. The company achieved positive gross profit for the second consecutive quarter at $26 million.

Why It Matters: Despite the strong financial performance, Rivian revised its 2025 delivery guidance downward to 40,000-46,000 vehicles, citing increased price sensitivity in the EV market and a challenging consumer backdrop.
The R2, scheduled for production in the first half of 2026, represents Rivian&#8217;s strategic move into a more affordable market segment. The company has begun validation builds of the R2 prototype and confirmed that its Normal, Illinois, facility expansion remains on schedule, with a planned production shutdown for approximately one month in the second half of 2025 for R2 integration.
CFO Claire McDonough emphasized that R2 will be &#8220;truly transformative for our growth and profitability,&#8221; noting that the company expects &#8220;a faster path to profitability as compared to R1.&#8221;
Price Action: Rivian stock closed at $13.50 on Tuesday, down 0.37% for the day, and fell another 1.56% in after-hours trading to $13.29. Year to date, the stock is up 1.89%.
According to Benzinga Stock Edge Rankings, Rivian shows stronger growth metrics than rivals Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) and Nio Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NIO#NYSE">NIO</a>), though it trails Lucid Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LCID#NASDAQ">LCID</a>). RIVN also exhibits a positive price trend from the short to long term. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Sign up to learn more</a>.

Rivian Holds Firm On $45K Price For Upcoming R2 Despite Tariff Pressures: CEO RJ Scaringe Says It's 'Important For Us' As EV Maker Tops Q1 Estimates

On Tuesday, Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) CEO Lisa Su said the company is focusing on keeping global customers tied to U.S. AI technologies amid new government rules.
What Happened: During AMD's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45237261/amd-q1-earnings-revenue-eps-beat-driven-by-expanding-data-center-ai-momentum-chipmaker-expects-strong-growth-in-2025">first-quarter earnings</a> call, Su addressed questions about the company's long-term outlook for AI chip sales.
Bank of America Securities analyst Vivek Arya asked Su how much of AMD's nearly $500 billion total addressable market (TAM) for AI accelerators is linked to China, given increasing U.S. export restrictions.
He also pressed her on the potential impact of new U.S. government rules on the diffusion of AI technologies, which are set to take effect May 15.
In response, Su said the company had already accounted for China-related limits in its TAM estimates.
See Also:&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.com/25/04/45003790/mark-cuban-slams-amazon-for-ripping-off-american-sellers-as-tariffs-are-predicted-to-boost-ecommerce-brands-profi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mark Cuban Slams Amazon For ‘Ripping Off American Sellers' As Trump Tariffs Are Predicted To Boost Ecommerce Brands' Profits</a>
"We always expected that there would be some amount of what&#8217;s called limitation on sort of leading edge GPUs going into China," Su said. "So that was factored into our TAM expectation when we talked about $500 billion. I don't think that dramatically changes the TAM."
However, Su underscored that the upcoming AI diffusion rules pose a more delicate challenge.
"We're very actively working with the government as they're thinking through these rules, and it's a very fine balance that we have to have," she said. Su stressed AMD's commitment to making sure U.S. AI companies, including her own, remain the world's primary technology platforms.
"We want to ensure that the rest of the world can really use us as the primary platform," she stated.
Why It's Important: Earlier, it was reported that the Donald Trump administration is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45090935/trump-administration-targets-biden-era-ai-chip-curbs-could-scrap-country-tiers-and-tighten-access-to-nvidias-h100-chips-report">considering a major revision</a> to the Artificial Intelligence Diffusion, which divides countries into three tiers. Officials are now exploring a shift toward a global licensing system based on bilateral agreements.
They are also weighing stricter controls by lowering the exemption threshold for chip purchases. Currently, orders below the equivalent of 1,700 Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) H100 chips do not require an export license and only mandate a notification to authorities.
AMD posted first-quarter revenue of $7.44 billion, surpassing analyst expectations of $7.13 billion. Year-over-year, total revenue rose 36%.
For the second quarter, AMD projects revenue of around $7.4 billion, with a possible variance of $300 million. This outlook exceeds the current analyst forecast of $7.24 billion.
The company also expects a non-GAAP gross margin of 43% for the second quarter, factoring in an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44844097/amd-flags-800-million-risk-from-new-us-chip-export-rules-as-china-tariffs-add-pressure">estimated $800 million in inventory</a>-related charges tied to new export control regulations, as previously disclosed.
Price Action: AMD shares rose 1.72% in after-hours trading, reaching $100.32 at the time of writing, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>.
According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, AMD holds a growth score in the 66th percentile.

AMD Always Expected Restrictions On Cutting Edge GPU Exports To China, Says Lisa Su — Working With Trump Administration To Keep US AI Tech Dominant

New Hampshire became the&nbsp;first U.S. state to establish a Strategic Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) Reserve on Tuesday, allowing public funds to be invested in the apex cryptocurrency and other digital assets.
What Happened: Dennis Porter, the founder of the&nbsp;Satoshi Action Fund, revealed in an X post that House Bill 302 was signed into law by the New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte.
The new law authorizes&nbsp;the state treasurer to invest&nbsp;public funds in precious metals and digital assets with a&nbsp;market cap exceeding $500 billion. At present, only Bitcoin qualifies under this criterion. The state can invest in Bitcoin directly or through an exchange-traded product.
Notably, the law limits the investments to 5% of the available public funds.

Litecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ltc/usd">LTC</a>) led the cryptocurrency market gainers list on Tuesday, as the broader market rallied on hopeful trade deal developments.
What happened: The proof-of-work coin surged over 11% in the last 24 hours, hitting levels not seen since Mar. 28. The trading volume jumped 41% to $805 million, making it one of the most traded cryptocurrencies over 24 hours.
The coin moved sideways during the morning hours but erupted during the afternoon, surging to an intraday high of $93.18 by late evening.
LTC's rally outperformed market heavyweights Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), which rose 2.45% and 1.62%, respectively.

Why It Matters: The upsurge was part of a larger cryptocurrency upswing following the announcement that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45242461/donald-trumps-trade-war-sparks-first-major-us-china-talks-scott-bessent-jamieson-greer-to-meet-chinese-delegation-in-geneva">will meet with Chinese officials</a> for trade negotiations.

Litecoin Beats Bitcoin, Ethereum To Top Crypto Gainers List—Open Interest Hits A Two-Month High

Once a dominant force in the weight-loss industry, WW International Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WW#NASDAQ">WW</a>), formerly known as WeightWatchers, is feeling pressure from the disruptive rise of anti-obesity drugs, and is now staring at a bankruptcy process to reorganize its finances. 
What Happened: In a press release on Tuesday, the company announced that it has voluntarily initiated a "pre-packaged" Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in Delaware. It aims to complete the court-supervised reorganization process within 45 days, &#8220;if not sooner.&#8221;
It plans to eliminate $1.15 billion in debt on its books through this process, helping &#8220;position WeightWatchers for long-term growth and success,&#8221; as it transitions into a telehealth services provider.
See More: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45242461/donald-trumps-trade-war-sparks-first-major-us-china-talks-scott-bessent-jamieson-greer-to-meet-chinese-delegation-in-geneva">Scott Bessent To Meet Chinese Officials For Crucial Trade Talks In Switzerland: Trump Administration</a>
The company says that it will remain fully operational during this reorganization process, and that there will be no impact on its members or the plans they rely on. 
WW International&#8217;s CEO, Tara Comonte, says, &#8220;The decisive actions we're taking today, with the overwhelming support of our lenders and noteholders, will give us the flexibility to accelerate innovation, reinvest in our members, and lead with authority in a rapidly evolving weight management landscape.&#8221;
Once <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/02/37379284/weightwatchers-stock-falls-after-q4-results-oprah-winfrey-exits">backed by talk show host</a> Oprah Winfrey, it has been under increasing pressure in recent years amid the rising popularity of GLP-1 drugs like Wegovy and Ozempic, manufactured by Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>), which many consumers see as a more convenient alternative to counting points and calories, according to a <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/05/06/business/weight-watchers-bankruptcy">report</a> by CNN.
Why It Matters: The move to file for bankruptcy comes amid investor Bruce Galloway building a 3% stake in the company two weeks ago, before urging the management not to file for bankruptcy, in a letter addressed to Comonte.
&#8220;We believe [that] if the company files Chapter 11, this will significantly impair the shareholders and be an extreme breach of the Board and Management's fiduciary duty and responsibility,&#8221; he said, before suggesting that the company pursue an out-of-court restructuring by offering equity to debt holders, citing the recent example of Regis Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RGS#NASDAQ">RGS</a>).
The company has made several efforts over the years to stay relevant in this rapidly changing weight-loss landscape, with the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/small-cap/23/03/31244013/looking-to-shed-some-pounds-weightwatchers-to-offer-weight-loss-drugs-like-ozempic">most prominent one</a> being its acquisition of telehealth provider, Sequence, which can prescribe popular weight-loss drugs such as Wegovy, Ozempic, and Trulicity. 
It also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/45073094/weightwatchers-integrates-with-eli-lilly-to-expand-access-to-zepbound-stock-skyrockets-110">entered into a partnership</a> with Eli Lilly &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) recently, in order to give its members access to the latter&#8217;s weight-loss drug, Zepbound. 
Price Action: The stock was up 11.20% on Tuesday, but is down nearly 57% after hours, following the company&#8217;s announcement to file for bankruptcy.

What Happened: Speaking with CNBC on Tuesday, Huang addressed the company's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44830406/nvidia-to-take-55-billion-hit-over-china-chip-export-restrictions-but-top-analyst-dan-ives-says-hes-not-overly-concerned-all-part-of-the-high-game-of-poker">$5.5 billion write-off tied</a> to U.S. restrictions on chip sales to China, a critical market for artificial intelligence.
"The world's dynamic today. You've just got to stay agile," Huang said.

He went on to add that China is projected to become a $50 billion AI market within the next two to three years and represents a huge opportunity.
"It would be a tremendous loss not to be able to address it as an American company. It&#8217;s going to bring back revenues. It&#8217;s going to bring back taxes. It&#8217;s going to create lots of jobs here in the United States," the Nvidia CEO stated.
Huang then said that the company will remain flexible and responsive to government policies, stating that it will support whatever is in the nation's best interest. "We'll stay agile and keep moving on."

Analyst Notes: Blockchain analytics firm Santiment said Bitcoin's key stakeholders were "moving in the right direction" to justify the $100,000 target in the near future.
"Wallets with the highest correlation with crypto&#8217;s overall market health (10-10K BTC wallets) have accumulated a combined 81,338 more BTC (+0.61% of their holdings) during these past 6 weeks of volatility," the firm added.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin Spike As Scott Bessent's Gears Up For Trade Talks With China: Key BTC Stakeholders 'Moving In The Right Direction' Towards $100,000 Target, Says Analytics Firm

On Tuesday, Cathie Wood&#8216;s Ark Invest made significant trades, notably selling shares of Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>). This move comes after Palantir&#8217;s stock faced pressure despite surpassing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45208000/palantir-q1-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-in-line-customer-count-up-39-company-raises-guidance-citing-surging-and-ferocious-growth">first-quarter earnings</a> expectations.
The Palantir Trade saw Ark Invest&#8217;s ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#BATS">ARKK</a>) sell 376,874 shares of the AI-focused company. The trade was valued at $41.03 million. On Tuesday, Palantir shares closed 12.05% lower at $108.86.
This decision followed Palantir&#8217;s recent earnings report, which, despite exceeding analyst predictions, led to a stock decline. The stock&#8217;s drop is attributed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45228456/whats-going-on-with-palantir-stock-tuesday">high investor expectations</a>. Palantir&#8217;s shares have surged 332% over the past year and 45% year-to-date, yet the post-earnings dip highlights market volatility.
Analysts remain divided on Palantir&#8217;s future. Some view it as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45232694/palantir-stock-shows-momentum-with-q1-results-ai-opportunity-analyst-says-generation-tech-name-worth-1-trillion-in-future">key player in the AI sector</a>, predicting a potential $1 trillion market cap within three years. However, others, like Jefferies&#8217; Brent Thill, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45213810/palantir-stock-drops-925-after-earnings-beat-dan-ives-stays-bullish-but-jefferies-brent-thill-says-institutions-still-arent-interested">express skepticism</a> about institutional interest, emphasizing its retail-driven nature.
Palantir remains Ark&#8217;s second-largest holding, accounting for approximately 8.14% of the firm&#8217;s portfolio by weight, with a total value of $421.65 million.

Cathie Wood Sells $41 Million Worth Of Palantir Shares Following Post-Earnings Plunge

On Tuesday, the Donald Trump administration announced that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer will <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45160145/china-says-door-is-open-for-talks-while-it-is-assessing-us-trade-proposal-but-warns-coercion-and-extortion-wont-work">meet with senior Chinese</a> officials this weekend in Geneva, Switzerland.&nbsp;
What Happened: The gathering marks the first major face-to-face discussions between the two countries since the trade conflict began, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/trump-china-trade-switzerland-bessent-2a3335ed92989dc4b3a74ea550b79b3f?user_email=97d05b29432d778bbb1ffb8f16f2769451bf1d6125981f71ceccbe18ec8d01d8&amp;utm_medium=APNews_Alerts&amp;utm_source=Sailthru_AP&amp;utm_campaign=NewsAlert_May06_2025_06:55PM&amp;utm_term=AP%20News%20Alerts">reported</a> the Associated Press.
The Chinese Commerce Ministry confirmed that Vice Premier He Lifeng will represent Beijing during the talks.
The meetings are set to take place amid a backdrop of mounting tariffs, with the U.S. imposing duties of up to 145% on Chinese imports and China retaliating with tariffs of 125% on American goods.
In addition to their Chinese counterparts, Bessent and Greer are also scheduled to meet with Swiss President Karin Keller-Sutter, according to their offices, the report noted.

Why It&#8217;s Important: In a note published Monday, veteran Wall Street investor Ed Yardeni said he's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45192936/wall-street-veteran-investor-lowers-recession-risk-as-us-china-trade-war-cools">lowering his estimated probability</a> of a U.S. recession to 35%, down from 45% at the end of March.
The revised outlook, which returns to early March levels, signals increased optimism that tensions over tariffs between the U.S. and China may ease.
Last month, Morgan Stanley economists forecasted that the U.S. and China would initiate negotiations and steadily <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45065482/us-china-to-ease-tariffs-gradually-after-complex-talks-says-morgan-stanley-but-cuts-chinas-growth-outlook">reduce tariffs on Chinese imports</a> to 60% by the end of the second quarter.

EdgeRunner AI Raises $12M Series A With Support From HP, Madrona, And Alumni Ventures To Advance Air-Gapped AI For Defense

India has launched missile strikes into Pakistani-controlled territory. The strikes resulted in at least eight deaths, as confirmed by Pakistani security officials on Tuesday.
What Happened: India fired missiles into Pakistani-controlled territory, causing multiple casualties. The Indian government claimed that the strikes were aimed at militant infrastructure, <a href="https://apnews.com/live/india-pakistan-attack-pahalgam-kashmir">reported</a> AP News.
The missile strikes come in the wake of a deadly attack on tourists in the disputed Kashmir region last month, which led to a severe strain in India-Pakistan relations. India has accused Pakistan of supporting the massacre, which resulted in the death of 26 men, mostly Indian Hindus — an accusation Pakistan vehemently denies.
Pakistan&#8217;s military spokesperson confirmed that six locations were hit by the missile strikes, resulting in eight deaths and 38 injuries. The Indian Defense Ministry, on the other hand, stated that&nbsp;at least nine sites were&nbsp;targeted, all of which were allegedly planning terrorist attacks against India.
In retaliation to the strikes, Pakistan&#8217;s Prime Minister&nbsp;Shehbaz Sharif&nbsp;stated, &#8220;Pakistan&nbsp;has every right to give&nbsp;a robust response to this&nbsp;act of war imposed by&nbsp;India, and a strong response&nbsp;is indeed being given.&#8221; The Indian army reported&nbsp;that Pakistan fired artillery along&nbsp;the de facto border in&nbsp;Bhimber Gali in India-controlled Kashmir.
The U.S. secretary of state, Marco Rubio, expressed his hope for a swift end to the conflict and pledged to continue engaging with both Indian and Pakistani leadership towards a peaceful resolution.
President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the conflict "ends very quickly" and labeled it "a shame."

India Fires Missiles Into Pakistani Territory, Trump Hopes Fighting Between Nuclear Rivals 'Ends Very Quickly'

Some people surprise their spouses with flowers. Others go big with vacations or jewelry.
But when you're Mark Zuckerberg, you think bigger. Like, 7 feet tall and made of turquoise and silver bigger.
The Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO famously <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/08/40411578/meta-ceo-mark-zuckerberg-commissions-statue-of-wife-priscilla-chan-sparks-online-buzz-bring">commissioned a towering sculpture of his wife</a>, Priscilla Chan, last August. At the time, the internet did what it does best—<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C-naZ9NvQNu/?igsh=MXZrcm9lZHVlNWhqNQ==">memed it into oblivion</a>. Avatar comparisons, jokes about what he must've done wrong, and memes telling women to "get a man who builds you a statue" filled social feeds.

</ul>
Now, almost a year later, Zuckerberg finally revealed what Priscilla actually thought of the gesture.
In an interview last week on the "<a href="https://youtu.be/zbfOkhrgxH0?si=rE5daEOfvVQ55Lul">This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von" podcast</a>, Zuckerberg admitted, "I don't think she was that happy with it." He added, "She doesn't want a sculpture of her in the front lawn—that's weird."
Still, he noted, "She's a good sport about it."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Not Exactly a "Magical Date"</h2>
When Theo Von asked if Zuckerberg had ever taken his wife on a "magical" dream date that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45093311/not-everyone-needs-a-thousand-ai-engineers-but-for-those-who-do-zuckerberg-says-meta-will-gladly-build-it-for-a-price">most people could only imagine</a>, the billionaire shrugged off the idea.
"She's pretty simple on this stuff," he explained. "I think most of the—you know, I like doing, I like making things."
And "making things" is exactly what led to the statue.
"I've always admired Daniel Arsham," Zuckerberg said, referring to the well-known pop sculptor. "We worked with him to make this sculpture of Priscilla because I thought it was cool."
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.
Why not a statue of himself? Zuckerberg was quick to shut that down.
"I'm not going to make a sculpture of myself. That's crazy, right? Like, who the [bleep] does that?"
So instead, Priscilla became the "target of my creative energy," he said.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">‘This Is the Thing I Did Wrong'</h2>
The memes that followed the statue's unveiling didn't go unnoticed.
"There's all these memes online where people are like, ‘Wow, I wonder what Zuckerberg did wrong that he had to make a sculpture of his wife,'" he told Von. "And I'm like, no, you guys are totally missing this. This is the thing I did wrong."
Zuckerberg joked that if he ever did do something serious, people would have to wait and see what kind of over-the-top apology art he'd dream up next.
"She doesn't want a sculpture of her in the front lawn. It's like—that's weird," he repeated.
Still, he said Priscilla appreciated the effort. "I think she thinks it's sweet… There's a lot of more destructive things I could be doing with my creative energy."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">His Creativity Doesn't Stop at Statues</h2>
The statue wasn't Zuckerberg's only grand gesture. He also mentioned he once designed a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/45124694/mark-zuckerberg-says-his-wife-wanted-a-minivan-so-he-designed-a-porsche-hes-pretty-sure-should-exist-and-made-it-a-his-and-hers-set">custom Porsche minivan for Priscilla</a>.
"I like cars, but I'm not going to design a supercar for myself," he explained. "Let's design a sweet minivan for my wife."
According to Zuckerberg, "trying to be creative and show her some creativity" is his version of romance.
As for that massive sculpture? At least the DoorDash drivers know exactly where to leave the food.
"Just set it by the sculpture," Zuckerberg laughed.

'That's Weird'—Mark Zuckerberg Gifted His Wife A 7-Foot-Tall Turquoise Statue Of Herself, But Says, 'I Don't Think She Was That Happy With It'

The agreement entered into is between WeightWatchers and holders of approximately 72% of the outstanding principal amount of the Company's term loan facility, revolving credit facility, and 4.5% senior secured notes, who have committed their support for the Transaction. To effectuate the Transaction, WeightWatchers has voluntarily initiated "pre-packaged" chapter 11 cases in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Court"). The Company expects to move through this process swiftly, with the goal of emerging from the court-supervised reorganization process in approximately 45 days, if not sooner.
