Overview

  • Under a restructuring support agreement, it will eliminate nearly $2 billion in debt and receive $200 million in new funding.
  • The retailer will initially close about 20 underperforming stores, with additional closures possible as court proceedings continue.
  • CEO Brad Weston cited an increasingly dynamic trade environment shaped by President Trump’s tariffs on Chinese merchandise.
  • Lenders holding more than 95 percent of the company's debt are slated to take ownership upon the completion of the reorganization.
