VMEM is rapidly burning cash and is looking to sell all of its assets in Chp 11 to maximize what value is left for its note holders.  In the first day declaration management provided the weekly cash projections and the timetable for the bidding process:




VMEM had a $162m IPO in September of 2013 and since then has struggled to meet its revenue expectations, never turning a profit. In October of this year the equity was delisted from the NYSE and now trades OTC (equity is essentially worthless).
