What Happened

Roth CH Acquisition II Corp merged with QualTek in February 2022, just as the Fed began raising rates. The telecom services company was immediately crushed by rising borrowing costs on its leveraged balance sheet. QualTek was delisted from Nasdaq in early 2023 and filed for Chapter 11 in May 2023. It emerged from bankruptcy in July 2023 as a private company, with stockholders losing all equity.
