Cyxtera Technologies (NASDAQ:CYXT) stock is falling on Monday as the company continues with its bankruptcy filing.

Cyxtera Technologies announced its bankruptcy filing at the start of the prior week. This saw it and several of its direct subsidiaries seeking Chapter 11 relief. Following this, the company entered into a Senior Secured Superpriority Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement with a group of lenders.

With that agreement, Cyxtera Technologies is able to borrow up to $200 million. The agreement also allows for an interim $54 million to be borrowed. It will use these funds for working capital and other general corporate purposes, as well as transactions related to the bankruptcy and borrowing agreement.

How This Affects CYXT Stock Today

Investors aren’t happy about Cyxtera Technologies filing for bankruptcy in the first place. Today’s extra news isn’t helping matters, either, even though it contains details about its financing through the bankruptcy process.

As a result, shares of CYXT stock are seeing incredibly heavy trading today as investors sell their stakes. This has more than 7 million shares of the company’s stock changing hands as of this writing. That’s a massive jump from its daily average trading volume of about 4.8 million shares.

CYXT stock is down 18.8% as of Monday morning and is down 97.5% since the start of the year.
