Popular seafood chain Red Lobster will soon exit Chapter 11 bankruptcy after a recent court approval and be led under a new CEO, according to a Thursday company announcement.

The company had filed for bankruptcy protection in May and announced plans to close 23 locations last week. Now, as part of its bankruptcy proceedings, the restaurant chain will remain independent and will be acquired by a new company by the end of September.
