Big Lots preparing to begin going out of business sales
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Big Lots, Inc. today announced that it does not anticipate completing its previously announced asset purchase agreement with Nexus Capital Management, though it continues to work toward completing an alternative going concern transaction with Nexus or another party. The Company’s goal would be to complete a sale by early January.
In parallel with these efforts, the Company is preparing to begin going out of business sales at all remaining Big Lots store locations in the coming days to protect the value of its estate. The Company believes that the GOB sales will not preclude it from effectuating a going concern transaction.
Bruce Thorn, Big Lots’ President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We all have worked extremely hard and have taken every step to complete a going concern sale. While we remain hopeful that we can close an alternative going concern transaction, in order to protect the value of the Big Lots estate, we have made the difficult decision to begin the GOB process.”
The Company is continuing to serve customers in-store and online during the process.
Big Lots currently has locations in Swansea, Raynham, Fairhaven, Attleboro, Plymouth, Franklin, and Warwick, Rhode Island.
