I think you are missing that in order for Sears Holdings to emerge from bankruptcy and merge with Holdco it cannot liquidate ALL of its Assets and must be a viable business when it emerges in order to preserve the NOLs.
And Holdco will not merge with Sears while it is in bankruptcy because of the outstanding Debt - which needs to be converted first into new Sears stock before any merger consideration.
