This decision approves four orders sought by the Applicants under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA): (1) approval of an asset purchase agreement (APA) with Canadian Tire Corporation for the sale of Hudson’s Bay’s intellectual property; (2) a sealing order for the confidential appendix summarizing bids; (3) termination of the stay of proceedings and CCAA proceedings for certain entities, concurrent with the appointment of a receiver; and (4) a declaration under the Wage Earner Protection Program Act (WEPPA) to assist terminated employees.
The Court found the sale process fair and transparent, the consideration reasonable, and the relief unopposed and supported by the Monitor.
