The 363 Sale and the POR are 2 separate Events. Even though the 363 Sale is not a Merger it does not preclude Transform Holdco from merging with SHC in the future.
As I said, I still don’t understand for what reason you think Transform Holdco would issue new Holdco stock in exchange for old SHLDQ stock in a POR. For the NOLs?
In Section 9 of the APA the Buyer/Holdco makes it quite clear that it wants SHC to cut all affiliation with the Purchased Assets and Trademarks as quickly as possible after the Closing Date. And that includes restructuring or liquidating Subsidiaries for Tax Purposes.
Do you not think that there is a contradiction between Holdco requesting SHC to cut all Affiliation with the Purchased Assets and Trademarks as quickly as possible and issuing new Holdco shares in exchange for SHLDQ shares in a POR?
70 - 80 of the 100 dark properties are collateral for certain outstanding Loans. So let’s say that Transform Holdco will receive 525 Stores per the APA - 425 Operating Stores plus 100 dark Stores if that is what the “ dark property “ is.
That still leaves SHC with about 300 “ dark Stores “ - which were leased or owned?
