The Real Deal |Seritage Growth Properties Looks to Sell Off All Assets

Sears spinoff Seritage Growth Properties could sell all of its assets and dissolve as its deadline to pay off a loan from Warren Buffett’s firm nears. The company’s board has recommended a plan to liquidate its properties and return the proceeds to shareholders, according to a proxy filing released on Thursday. The plan requires a two-thirds vote from shareholders, but it is already about halfway there. Eddie Lampert, the former chairman of Seritage, exchanged his equity in the company for shares and agreed to vote for the plan. Lampert now owns about 29 percent of the company’s outstanding Class A shares, according to the proxy filing.
