NewAge (NASDAQ:NBEV) stock is rising higher on Friday as it bounces back from a dip caused by its recent bankruptcy filing.
The bankruptcy filing from NewAge has it seeking Chapter 11 protection while it handles the matter. That includes plans for the company to sell itself during the process. NewAge says this is the best situation to retain value for shareholders.
Following the initial filing, NewAge followed up with additional comments about the bankruptcy. Apparently, it filed for bankruptcy partially due to the cost of an investigation into the company.
This investigation sought to determine if NewAge had violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a U.S. law that forbids citizens and entities in the country to bribe foreign government officials for their business interests.
