Why would Capcom be in such a dire financial situation? I've never heard about this before... Is there more info about this? And wasn't Street Fighter 4 with all it's iterations a quite lucrative cash cow?

They've been not so great for a while now. A lot of their latest titles have been suffering (because players can't handle reboots or sequels as they were designed) and the company in general really needed the help.
they were suffering because they kept stepping on the toes of fans. DMC reboot when they wanted DMC5, fat mega man when they were dying for the blue bomber, Street Fighter X Tekken's awful gem system, hack n slash castelvania that nobody was asking for, RE6... list goes on and on
handled better all of these series should have been printed money, but they fucked it up over and over.
