Last week, Contec Holdings Ltd. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after listing nearly $500 million in debt with only $100 million in assets. Contec, a cable-box repair company, is owned by Bain Capital.

The New York-based company has stated that it plans on emerging from bankruptcy within 60 days and will continue to operate as normal during the process, the Huffington Post reports. Contec lists more than 2,300 employees, most of who work in Mexico.

Contec was founded in 1978 and was acquired by Bain Capital in 2008. Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney co-founded Bain in 1984 and worked for the company until 1999.

A bankruptcy judge told Tribune Co. officials on Friday that he plans on having his formal opinion on the failing newspaper company’s restructuring plan by early July. He told officials he will either approve the plan or provide them with details on how to fix it.

Tribune, which owns the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, and numerous television and radio stations, filed for bankruptcy protection three and a half years ago. This is its second restructuring plan it has submitted for approval.

According to the LA Times, the judge’s main concern with their first exit plan was about how the company planned on paying its attorneys’ fees.
