San Antonio, TX Friday, April 12, 2024 — CodersLink, a leading nearshore IT staffing company, has filed for Chapter 11 protection as part of a proactive step to ensure long-term viability and continued excellence in serving our global clientele. This restructuring is not an indication of closing our operations; rather, it’s a strategic maneuver to strengthen our financial foundation and accelerate our growth.

“At CodersLink, we view our Chapter 11 filing not as a setback, but as a proactive step toward securing our future and continuing to innovate in the tech staffing industry,” said Jesús “Tito” Salas, CEO of CodersLink. “This decision aligns with our commitment to sustainable growth and our responsibility to our clients, employees, and all our stakeholders.”

Understanding Chapter 11: A Strategic Reorganization Tool

Chapter 11 bankruptcy is often misunderstood and sensationalized by the media, leading the public to believe companies are going out of business. However, it is not a cessation of business but a restructuring type that allows companies to keep operating while they reorganize their finances under court supervision. This process enables a business to alter its debt obligations and emerge stronger.

Detailed Timeline and Narrative of Events Leading to Chapter 11:

  • Q1 2023: Challenges due to fluctuating FX rates led to the initial renegotiation of client contracts.
  • Q2-Q3 2023: Escalating FX losses prompted the strategic use of growth capital loans to maintain operations.
  • Q4 2023-Q1 2024: Further funding strategies were explored, including venture debt; however, facing limited success, we evaluated all available options.
  • February 2024: The decision to file for Chapter 11 was made after exhaustive exploration of alternatives, ensuring the best path forward for our company’s sustainability.
  • March 2024: CodersLink officially filed for Chapter 11, marking a pivotal step in our strategic reorganization efforts.

The Pathway to Exit Chapter 11:

Our exit strategy from Chapter 11 involves a structured reorganization plan that we will develop and submit for creditor and court approval. We aim to conclude this process within the next year, focusing on achieving sustainable profitability and operational excellence. This plan will be formulated with the insights and approval of our financial advisors, legal team, and stakeholders to ensure it meets all necessary criteria for a successful emergence from Chapter 11.

Impact on Operations and Client Contracts:

There will be no interruptions in our services. All existing contracts are in full effect, and we remain committed to delivering the high-quality staffing solutions our clients rely on. Our operational restructuring is designed to enhance our service offerings and client engagements without disruption.

Lessons for Startups: Navigating Financial Uncertainty

This experience provides critical learning opportunities for startups:

  • Risk Management: It’s crucial to have strategies in place for financial uncertainties, including foreign exchange risks.
  • Financial Planning: Maintaining flexibility in funding and capital management can safeguard against unforeseen economic challenges.
  • Strategic Resilience: Proactive and strategic planning is essential for navigating adverse conditions and turning potential setbacks into growth opportunities.

Commitment to Transparency and Ongoing Communication:

CodersLink is dedicated to maintaining transparency throughout this restructuring process. We will provide regular updates through our official channels to ensure that our employees, clients, and stakeholders are well-informed of our progress and plans.
