Iterum Therapeutics Files Wind Up Petition; Shares Shoot In Pre-market

Iterum Therapeutics filed a petition in the High Court in Ireland to wind up the company, with the petition due to be heard on April 13, 2026. The filing signals imminent liquidation/insolvency risk that could wipe out equity holders and materially affect creditor recoveries; monitor the April hearing for potential restructuring or creditor actions. This is a company-specific, severe adverse event rather than a sector-wide shock.
