Sears Canada Inc. (OTCPK:SRSC.Q) is seeking to liquidate its assets and wind down. Sears Canada Inc. has approved a plan to liquidate its assets and wind down after rejecting a private-equity backed takeover plan from Brandon Stranzl. Brandon Stranzl, Executive Chairman, was unable to win board support for a private-equity-backed deal that would have taken a slimmed-down version of the retailer out of bankruptcy and preserved thousands of jobs. Liquidation sales at retail locations are expected to begin by October 19, 2017 and continue for up to 14 weeks, pending court approval, Sears Canada said. The Ontario Superior Court of Justice is scheduled to hear the liquidation request October 13, 2017.
