Rite Aid Receives Court Approval of "First Day" Motions to Support Business Operations

Rite Aid also announced on Tuesday the company will receive up to $3.45 billion in debtor-possession financing. The money will go towards keeping other stores open and to continue to "pay associate wages, salaries and benefits without interruption, pay vendors and suppliers in full for goods and services provided on or after the filing date of October 15, 2023, and otherwise continue to deliver leading healthcare products and services across its retail and online platforms."

“With the support of certain of our lenders and the majority of our bondholders, we look forward to moving through this process and emerging as a stronger company, well-positioned for long-term success. We thank our associates, partners, suppliers and vendors for their continued support and our associates for their hard work and dedication,” CEO Jeffrey Stein said.
