Vice and Motherboard owner files for bankruptcy
The Company behind The websites Vice and Motherboard has filed for bankruptcy in The US and is set to be sold to a group of its lenders.
Vice Media Group - which was once valued at $5. 7bn - could be taken over for $225m.
The youth-focused digital publisher said it will continue to operate during The bankruptcy process.
It added that it " expects to emerge as a financially healthy and stronger company in two to three months".
Launched in 1994 as a fringe magazine called Voice Of Montreal by Shane Smith , Gavin Mcinnes and Suroosh Alvi , Vice currently operates in More Than 30 countries.
Its edgy, youth-focused content spans print, events, music, online, TV and feature films.
Vice Media Group's investors include Fortress Investment Group, Monroe Capital and Soros Fund Management - The Firm founded by fund manager and billionaire George Soros .
The lenders have approved $20m of funding to keep Vice Media going through The bankruptcy process. During This Time , other firms can submit " higher or better" bids for The media company.
If these offers are not successful, Vice Media 's lenders will acquire The publisher for $225m.
The Company 's revenues have been flat for some years and it has also struggled to turn a profit. Vice's plans to go public through a merger also failed.
