linda, thanks!

[TigerInTheStreet]

Looks like you never failed ever. So you don't understand what a second chance is. Don't worry for us longs. We will stay put. You can go elsewhere.

[berdboy]

HOPEFULLY YOU LOADED THE BOAT!..YOU SEE WHATS COMING NOW I SUSPECT...NOT WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN SAYING PREV .. GLTU BOOMAGE!

[jimr1717]

So the guy that would fail running a retail hot dog stand and has failed running these two companies is the winning bidder that is going to turn this pos proven garbage business model around. It isn’t his plan to finish stripping it’s prime assets right? Just say that to yourself a couple of times and let me know how it sounds to you. $SHLD Q

of its election, to treat one or more of the transactions (each, a “Designated Sale Transaction”) set

any such election is not effective, then Buyer and Sellers shall continue to comply with
Section 9.2(a)."

we'll see....

[alexjames81]

So no ruling until then?

[katano]

Shld(q) with or without Q will be here for many months trading plus or minus $10.00 range for a long time before it will enter the new co...

[linda1]

That depends on the number of Common Shares
it intends to register and issue. Since ESL seems
to prefer a low O/S it will likely be valued in the
$ dollars.

Note that Transform Holdco is still a Private
Company so the price of Buys/Sells will not be so
readily available.

[jimr1717]

Very smart move

[linda1]

Which Company?

Transform Holdco is already a private Company -
which means any Shares of Holdco are Shares
of a Private Company and not as easy to sell/trade
as a Publicly traded Company.

If you mean a reorganized SHLDQ Company
it cannot go Private until it emerges from
bankruptcy and the Creditors may object to
Privatization since again it is not as easy to sell/trade
their Common Stock.

[Orion1972]

BOOM! I missed that but caught the sections about Intellectual Property Related Documentation... so lame. thanks linda1!

Just in case.

Consideration Securities means collectively, the Consideration Shares and the Consideration Warrants

[linda1]

It will definitely be Transform Holdco, LLC that will
be issuing the Securities Consideration - and
which Holdco Debt or Equity Securities have to be paid
to the Debtors on the CLOSING DATE of the Sale:


DOCKET 1730 - PG 74 of 315 - APA:


Section 4.2 Buyer’s Deliveries.

At the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Sellers:

(a) the Closing Payment Amount less the Deposit Amount in accordance with Section 3.3;

(b) the Securities Consideration;

(c) the certificates of Buyer to be received
by Sellers pursuant to Sections 11.1 and 11.2;

(d) the Occupancy Agreement, duly executed by Buyer; .........................


Since Holdco is a Private Company where will
it register its Securities?

[Orion1972]

if you look at the dockets that are due on the 14 are leases looking for taxes and maintenance, some of them are looking for school taxes for this year. lol

[alexjames81]

In case they need it.
I would not be surprised if the judge ruled next Monday only.

Unless he said specifically he will rule from the bench? I doubt it

[Omarprelude]

I was thinking the same but saw more Sears on Judge Drain's calendar on 2/14

[justthefactsmam]

sears is on the schedule for wednesday, thursday, and then again on thursday the 14th

[SPORTSPROPHET]

Unless they stretch this thing out, It's a done deal Thursday, shortly after lunch on the East Coast.

[Patriots 2019]

Stay the course people ... keep holding $$$. The debtors need sears / Eddie to be profitable to get paid .

[Orion1972]

No court on friday or next week... schedule here

http://www.nysb.uscourts.gov/calendars/rdd.html

[berdboy]

dont expect anything official until next week imo.. shldq

[RiskyBoy1989]

Cool Thank you..

[CLOUD99]

Thursday

[RiskyBoy1989]

So if no decision by tomorrow.. will there be a hearing on Thursday or Friday? Anyone ?

[rokkdatstock]

20 or 80 isn't the issue. Money accumulated to trade the stocks is. I'm not 20 or 80 but SHLDQ is a great play multiple times for me so far. Not stopping until there nothing to squeeze of out their wallet into mine.

[SPORTSPROPHET]

Now that's good stuff...Thanks DD!

That must be why they call you DD, sir.

[PennyStock Alert]

Thank you for the confirmation and putting that to rest. The scare tactics by some are in fact a ruse to get people to sell.

Great DD!

Institutional ownership reported at 70.74% on Jan 31, 2019

https://www.gurufocus.com/ownership/SHLDQ

[justthefactsmam]

according to sears and the pbgc, the maximum guaranteed pension benefit is $5,420.45 per month ($65,045.40 per year) for a worker who retires at age 65 with a single life annuity.

the maximum benefit will be reduced for an individual who begins receiving payments before age 65, and

the maximum benefit will also be reduced if a pension includes benefits for a survivor or other beneficiary.

while around 99% of those receiving benefits will not be impacted by sears termination of the plan and the pbgc taking them over.

pbgc does not guarantee:
benefits not vested when the plan terminates,
benefits if age, service, or other such requirements haven't been met,
increases and new benefits in place for less than one year,
early payments greater than those to be received at normal retirement age,
health insurance, life insurance, death benefits, vacation and severence,

pbgc generally does not pay lump sums exceeding $5,000
pbgc may recoup payments which exceed their guarantee

as usual, the upper tier, higher paid people will be more adversely impacted than mid to lower level employees.

doesn't seem like judge drain will have to deal with or be concerned about any severe impacts on pension issues.

[berdboy]

ABSOLUTE FACT...SHE IS SHORT ON SHLDQ AND USING HER INFLUENCE TO TRY AND MANIPULATE A SECURITY..

[StrategyTrader]

[thelionwarrior]

All the more reasons Warren should be investigated with her insider trading inquiry on Sears.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/class-warrior-elizabeth-warren-worth-millions-new-financial-records-show

[TigerInTheStreet]

Tomorrow it will go higher.

[BBANBOB]

Personally I would like to be involved in the re-emergence of SEARS as a going concern.

ANd to a degree yes I do, since they could even with a premium buy us out but we really would not participate in what is apparently trying to be built here.

So what if they pay me $1 per shares and the true value over time would have been $500 so yep I'd love it to stay in tact

[mojo joyo]

It will go lower tomorrow.things not looking so smooth.

[PennyStock Alert]

The type of stocks that I look for are “monumentally troubled stocks”. Buy them low and sell them high. SHLDQ fits that profile. If I was in my 80’s, I wouldn’t be trading a “monumentally troubled stock” like SHLDQ. I’m not, I am buying heavily today. Thank you whoever is selling :)

[StrategyTrader]

here she goes up watch the close all the sellers will regret except the flippers pretty soon we will be done with the flippers when we go past a buck.

[intuitive3]

Thanks. do you have concern regarding this company being taken private? Thanks!

[JMMatthews]

Long on Sears

SHLDQ $$$

[rokkdatstock]

Love watching monumentally troubled stocks when share price breaks out and people who were wise enough to play SHLDQ properly make money using only SHLDQ profits. What an easy way to work this stock.
