Transmission giant Fallbrook Technologies shifts into chapter 11 targeting a quick restructuring         

Fallbrook Technologies, developer and licensor of the NuVinci transmission technology found in bicycles, motor vehicles and other machinery, filed for chapter 11 in Delaware to recapitalize the company. The company entered into a restructuring support agreement with some of its  largest creditors that would reduce debt and allow the company to emerge with new financing and a leaner capital structure.

As of the filing, the company listed liabilities of over $100 million and assets between $50 million and $100 million. Fallbrook Technologies is a privately held company with major shareholders comprising MIHI, LLC (15.4%), NGEN Partners III, L.P. (10.8%), Robeco (10.7%), Allison Transmission Inc. (10.4%), LTS Capital Partners II, LLC (7.7%), and Gary Jacobs (5.1%).
