Counsel for the official committee of unsecured creditors of Sears Holdings is seeking court approval of a US $35 litigation funding facility with Bench Walk Advisors. Sears Holdings, the parent company of the iconic Sears retail brand, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in October 2018. While under creditor protection, litigation was commenced by a restructuring subcommittee seeking over $2 billion in damages arising from certain pre-filing related party transactions. $25 million was set aside to cover the initial costs of the litigation, but these funds are now near exhaustion. In order to continue in the pursuit of the claims, a competitive process was initiated to secure additional funding. After several rounds of hard-fought and arm’s-length negotiations with Bench Walk and another funder, Bench Walk emerged as the winner.
