The 82-year-old retailer said in statement Wednesday that sluggish sales and inventory issues forced Joann to file for Chapter 11 again. Joann first filed for bankruptcy in March 2024 and emerged a month later as a private company, keeping all of its stores open.

(Bloomberg) — Creditors of Austrian motorcycle maker KTM AG have approved a restructuring plan that will write off 70% of what they’re owed. The company now has three months to secure about €800 million ($840 million) of cash to finance the turnaround.

Citigroup Inc. is leading the fundraising effort and KTM parent Pierer Mobility has reported interest from several potential investors last month.

The company built by entrepreneur Stefan Pierer filed for insolvency after struggling to navigate the volatile…

Yair Lapid, the Israeli opposition leader and former prime minister, laid out a plan on Tuesday for Egypt to take temporary control of Gaza for eight to 15 years after the war in Gaza, in cooperation with various other regional powers, in exchange for international relief of its foreign debt obligations.

Under the plan, after the end of the three-phase cease-fire and hostage-release deal between Hamas and Israel, Egypt, backed by a United Nations Security Council resolution with some partnership from the Gulf and others in the international community, would take “temporary guardianship” of Gaza, Lapid said in an event at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
