Tri­ci­da eye­ing sale, cost-cut­ting op­tions af­ter fail­ing high-stakes CKD wa­ger

Tri­ci­da is look­ing at all of its op­tions — not even two weeks af­ter watch­ing its stock nose­dive.

In an an­nounce­ment Wednes­day af­ter­noon, Tri­ci­da didn’t mince words.

“… the Board of Di­rec­tors has au­tho­rized Tri­ci­da to ini­ti­ate a re­view of strate­gic al­ter­na­tives to max­i­mize stake­hold­er val­ue. This strate­gic re­view may in­clude con­sid­er­a­tion of the sale of the Com­pa­ny and/or its as­sets.”

Tri­ci­da said that it is al­so in­ves­ti­gat­ing op­tions to re­duce its op­er­at­ing ex­pens­es, with plans to an­nounce the changes some­time over the next 3-4 weeks.
