Grandparents.com Announces Restructuring for U.S. Operations

– Company Continues to Operate Business as Usual
– Secures DIP Financing

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / April 14, 2017 / Grandparents.com, Inc. (OTC PINK: GPCM) today announced that it has filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the Southern District of Florida (Miami Division) (the “Bankruptcy Court”). As a result of the restructuring, the Company expects to be acquired by its secured lender and emerge as a financially stronger company with a sustainable capital structure.

Importantly, as a part of the restructuring, the Company secured from its bank group a debtor-in-possession (DIP) loan to provide the Company with the necessary operating funds during the restructuring process.

“We have been working diligently with our senior lender to arrange for a timely restructuring of Grandparents.com. Through the reorganization process, we will continue to operate business as usual. We firmly believe that the reorganization actions announced today will allow Grandparents.com to become a financially stable company with a solid foundation necessary to continue the pursuit of our strategic initiatives,” said Joshua Rizack, from The Rising Group Consulting, Inc., the Company’s Chief Restructuring Officer.

While the Company is in Chapter 11, investments in its securities will be highly speculative. Investors should assume that shares of the Company’s common stock have little or no value and will likely be cancelled upon confirmation of the Company’s Chapter 11 plan of reorganization or liquidation. The Company expects to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 on Monday, April 17, 2017, and thereafter will file under cover of Form 8-K the Monthly Operating Reports it files with the Bankruptcy Court. The Company also expects its common stock will continue trading on the OTC Pink Sheets under the symbol GPCM.

The outcome of the Chapter 11 case is uncertain and subject to substantial risk. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving its financial restructuring.
