In a nutshell - Rather than take Sears into a ch 7 liquidation the court allowed ESL to credit bid $5.2b for the assets...which means the "old" Sears (SHLDQ) no longer has those assets. It is now essentially an empty bankrupt shell.
ESL will be holding those assets (the "new" Sears) in a private company.
SHLDQ and that private company have no relationship.
