Can B Corp. sues to block Arena's UCC Article 9 sale of substantially all assets; auction postponed
Can B Corp
- Filed action in NY Supreme Court on Dec 20, 2023 to enjoin Arena's proposed sale of substantially all assets, citing commercial unreasonableness and invalid security interests.
- Arena agreed to postpone auction on Dec 21; Company must advise court by Jan 12, 2024 on proceeding with preliminary injunction motion.
- If sale proceeds, Can B would lose substantially all assets; outcome depends on court's assessment of commercial reasonableness and Arena's security interest validity.
