Contec Holdings Ltd., the cable-box repair company owned by Bain Capital LLC, sought bankruptcy protection from creditors.
Contec Holdings, based in Schenectady, New York, listed debt of as much as $500 million and assets of as much as $100 million in Chapter 11 documents filed yesterday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Delaware.
“This reorganization process will allow Contec to invest in and enhance our capabilities to serve our cable industry customers,” Wes Hoffman, Contec chief operating officer, said yesterday in a statement.
U.S. Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney co-founded Bain in 1984. Romney left Bain in 1999 to oversee the Salt Lake City Olympics and served as governor of Massachusetts from 2003 to 2007. Bain acquired Contec in 2008 from American Capital Ltd. (ACAS), a Bethesda, Maryland-based asset manager, which said at the time that it made $120 million from its two-year investment in Contec, including dividends and profit from the sale.
