Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On December 24, 2014, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) entered a final order approving the Agency Agreement, as amended and restated on December 22, 2014 (the “Agency Agreement”), by and between dELiA*s, Inc. (the “Company”) and a joint venture of Hilco Merchant Resources, LLC and Gordon Brothers Retail Partners, LLC (the “Agents”). The Agency Agreement authorizes the Agents to liquidate all merchandise and inventory owned by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries and to dispose of certain furnishings, trade fixtures, equipment and improvements to real property with respect to the Company’s stores and, at the Company’s option, distribution center. Such liquidation and sale includes store closing and going out of business sales at all of the retail stores of the Company and its subsidiaries that commenced chapter 11 cases on December 7, 2014 (together with the Company, the “Debtors”). Copies of the Agency Agreement and the Bankruptcy Court order may be found at https://cases.primeclerk.com/delias.
The Agency Agreement was amended and restated from the original agreement entered into by such parties on December 4, 2014. In particular, the Agency Agreement was amended to provide that:
• | The Agents’ designation rights with respect to the Company’s intellectual property include the membership interests in dELiA*s Brand LLC, and the Debtors will be paid 40% of the net recovery from any sale of the intellectual property in excess of $1.2 million and 60% of any amount in excess of $2.5 million. |
• | To the extent that the total proceeds from the sales exceed the sum of expenses, the specified Agents’ fees and the guaranteed amount (91% of the value of such merchandise), 50% of the remaining sale proceeds will be paid to the Debtors. |
• | Specified marked-out-of-stock inventory was carved out from the general sale provisions. To the extent that the total proceeds from such sales exceed the sum of expenses, the specified Agents’ fees and the guaranteed amount (36% of the value of such merchandise), 80% of the remaining sale proceeds will be paid to the Debtors. |
Except as set forth above, the material terms of the original agreement, as described in the Company’s Form 8-K filed on December 10, 2014, remain in effect. The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agency Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
