States sue to block the sale of genetic data collected by DNA testing company 23andMe
Dozens of states have filed a joint lawsuit against the bankrupt DNA-testing company 23andMe to block the company's sale of its customers' genetic data without explicit consent. The suit, filed this week in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Eastern District of Missouri, comes months after 23andMe began a court-supervised sale process of its assets. The South San Francisco-based venture was once valued at $6 billion and has collected DNA samples from more than 15 million customers. The company's bankruptcy has raised questions over privacy standards for genetic data, which experts say is uniquely sensitive, immutable and irreplaceable if stolen. Twenty-seven states and the District of Columbia filed the lawsuit, arguing that 23andMe customers have an inherent right to their own genetic information. 'This isn't just data — it's your DNA,' said Oregon Atty. Gen. Dan Rayfield in a statement. 'It's personal, permanent, and deeply private. People did not submit their personal data to 23andMe thinking their genetic blueprint would later be sold off to the highest bidder.' 23andMe announced in May that it would be sold to New York-based drug maker Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, which had agreed to comply with 23andMe's existing privacy policy. However, a competing offer from nonprofit TTAM Research Institute led the bankruptcy judge to reopen the auction last week. TTAM is run by 23andMe co-founder Anne Wojcicki, who has made several failed attempts to take the company private. In a statement, a 23andMe spokesperson said the lawsuit's claims 'are without merit' and that the sale of genetic data does not violate privacy regulations. 'Customers will continue to have the same rights and protections in the hands of the winning bidder,' the spokesperson said. 23andMe customers have the right to delete their genetic information from the company's database at any time, as outlined in the Genetic Information Privacy Act and the California Consumer Privacy Act. During a testimony in Washington earlier this week, 23andMe interim Chief Executive Joseph Selsavage said that 1.9 million customers have requested their data be deleted since the company's bankruptcy filing in March. Sara Geoghegan, senior counsel at the Electronic Privacy Information Center, said that 23andMe's privacy policy was subject to change and not adequate to protect customers' data. In an interview in March, she stressed the sensitivity of genetic data. 'I would be very concerned if I had given a swab to 23andMe,' she said. 'There is little we can do to control what happens to it.'

Huge auto parts company files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
Auto parts aftermarket companies have faced a series of economic issues that have reduced their revenue over the last two years. Rising inflation, increased interest rates, and consumers who are cautious with discretionary spending have affected their profits. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter A major headwind on the industry since 2023 has been the declining consumer interest in electric vehicles. As inflation and high interest rates raised the prices of EVs, fuel costs for internal combustion vehicles plummeted. Related: Major auto parts company considers filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy It began to make more economic sense for consumers to buy ICE vehicles that were less expensive and more convenient to refuel at gas stations, instead of searching for an EV charger to recharge their battery. Tesla has become the poster child for declining EV sales as the electric vehicle maker's sales in April declined in its top three markets - U.S., China, and Europe - after suffering a 13% year-over-year delivery decline in the first quarter of 2025, according to Morningstar data. All of these economic issues have led auto parts suppliers to close stores and sometimes file for bankruptcy. Wheel Pros, which operates as auto parts distributor and retailer Hoonigan, filed for a prepackaged Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Sept. 9, 2024, with plans to hand 85% of its new equity interests to holders of first-lien claims and 15% to new first-lien lenders who will backstop the debtor's exit term loan. Accuride Corp., another top manufacturer of wheels and wheel end products for commercial trucks and trailers filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Oct. 9, 2024, seeking a consensual restructuring of its debt to continue operating as a going concern. Some auto parts suppliers closed stores but didn't need to file for bankruptcy. Struggling auto parts retailer Advance Auto Parts, with nearly 5,000 retail stores, accelerated its strategic turnaround plan to close 727 corporate-owned and independent locations, as well as four West Coast distribution centers, by the end of March 2025. And now, a major auto parts supplier has filed for bankruptcy. Global auto parts giant Marelli Holdings Co., which is owned by KKR, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection with a prearranged restructuring agreement to wipe out billions of dollars of debt and hand ownership of the company to its senior lenders. Related: Popular trucking auto parts chain closing, no bankruptcy yet The auto parts company, whose headquarters are located in Saitama, Japan, with North American headquarters in Southfield, Mich., listed $4.9 billion in total funded debt in its filing on June 11, which included a $350 million emergency loan facility, provided by Development Bank of Japan and Mizuho Bank, according to a declaration from CEO David Slump. The emergency loan is senior to a $4.55 billion senior loan facility, led by Mizuho as agent. The debtor listed $1 billion to $10 billion in assets and liabilities in its petition. Its largest unsecured creditors include Stellantis, owed over $453 million; Nissan, owed over $313 million; Bosch Group, owed over $45 million; and Mazda, owed over $30 million. The debtor reached a restructuring support agreement with 80% of its senior secured lenders after a year of negotiations. More bankruptcy: Iconic auto repair chain franchise files Chapter 11 bankruptcyPopular beer brand closes down and files Chapter 7 bankruptcyPopular vodka and gin brand files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy The agreement calls for a $1.1 billion new money debtor-in-possession financing provided by members of the debtor's Ad Hoc Group of senior lenders, a 47.5% rollup of senior loan claims, repayment of the $350 million emergency loan in cash, an 11% cashout of senior loan claims held by Japanese lenders, a reinstatement or payment in full of all general unsecured claims, and conversion of a portion of the DIP facility into 100% of the equity of the reorganized company. The debtor seeks a reorganization plan confirmation order within 180 days, according to the declaration. Marelli blamed several prepetition challenges that forced the company to file for bankruptcy, including the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and post-pandemic market challenges and headwinds. Among the economic issues were supply chain challenges of labor shortages, disruptions, and high costs; high inflation and rising prices of raw materials; and declining customer volumes. The company also blamed a decrease in customer demand for electric vehicles in 2023, due to a combination of high inflation and lower fuel costs for internal combustion engine vehicles, which shifted the cost and benefits of buying an EV. The decreased interest in EVs triggered a rapid volume reduction beginning in May 2024 as automakers who had a surplus of EV inventory no longer had an immediate need for Marelli's components, leading to a decline in revenue in 2024 compared to 2023. The company also dealt with liquidity issues, and $150 million in annual interest payments put pressure on the debtor's cash flow.

Space Firm Voyager Technologies Jumps 82% After Upsized IPO
(Bloomberg) -- Voyager Technologies Inc. shares ended their debut trading day up 82% after the company raised $383 million in an upsized US initial public offering. Trump's Military Parade Has Washington Bracing for Tanks and Weaponry Shuttered NY College Has Alumni Fighting Over Its Future NY Long Island Rail Service Resumes After Grand Central Fire NYC Renters Brace for Price Hikes After Broker-Fee Ban NYC Mayoral Candidates All Agree on Building More Housing. But Where? The Denver-based defense contractor's stock closed at $56.48 each on Wednesday, versus the IPO price of $31 apiece. The company sold more than 12.3 million shares, after having marketed 11 million shares for $26 to $29. The trading gives Voyager Technologies a market value of $3.2 billion based on the outstanding shares listed in its filings. Janus Henderson Investors and Wellington Management have indicated an interest in buying a total of $60 million of shares in aggregate, the filings show. Founded in 2019 and recently rebranded from Voyager Space, Voyager Technologies serves both government and commercial clients across sectors including national security, advanced technology and space infrastructure, according to the filings. Space Station Replacement Voyager has a $217.5 million development grant with NASA to design Starlab, the commercial space station planned to replace the International Space Station, which is set to be decommissioned in 2030. Voyager plans to operate Starlab through a joint venture with equity partners including Airbus SE, Mitsubishi Corp., MDA Space Ltd. and Palantir Technologies Inc. The recent hostilities between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk jolted the share prices of companies in the sector on the prospect that SpaceX's dominant position had become vulnerable, though Musk later expressed regret over the rift. In an interview on Bloomberg TV Wednesday, Voyager Chief Executive Officer Dylan Taylor credited SpaceX as a crucial player in the industry, and said that there are other firms that are also doing great things. The space sector is unique in that companies are looking to collaborate and cooperate, he said. 'Really, everyone is rooting for everyone else,' Taylor said. 'I mean that sincerely, because it's important we get replacements up there prior to the International Space Station being decommissioned.' Another firm with links to both Voyager and the government is Palantir. A joint venture partner on the Starlab project, it's also a Voyager share holder, the filing shows. Voyager issued 228,365 shares to the data analytics firm in April last year as payment for for services including developing a prototype to schedule payloads to the ISS. 'We are both headquartered in Denver, they are across the street from us, we are friendly,' Taylor said. 'They are great partners and we coordinate with them closely and we have several initiatives where they play an important role.' Almost 84% of Voyager's revenue in 2024 stemmed from contracts with the US government and its affiliates, according to its filings. Voyager reported a net loss of $26.9 million on revenue of $34.5 million in the three months ended March 31, compared with a net loss of $14.8 million on revenue of $30.2 million in the same quarter last year. Trump's proposed 'Golden Dome' defense system, using space-based interceptors to shield the US from missile threats, could further boost Voyager's prospects. 'If the President gets what he wants for Golden Dome, that would potentially be a windfall,' Taylor said. Congressional Republicans are seeking $25 billion to start work on a project that Trump said could cost $175 billion overall. From the commercial space aspect of the business, even under a so-called skinny budget scenario, there would still be robust funding for commercial space stations, Taylor said. The offering was led by Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Chase & Co. Its shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol VOYG. --With assistance from Ed Ludlow and David Gura.
