Genetic Testing Co. Invitae Files For Ch. 11 With $1.5B Debt

California-based genetic testing company Invitae Corp. has filed for Chapter 11 protection in New Jersey with nearly $1.5 billion in debt and what it said is an agreement with senior noteholders to seek a buyer. In its Chapter 11 filings Tuesday, the company blamed high operating costs and leverage from recent acquisitions along with inflation and rising interest rates.
