    Los Angeles Times https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2020-08-28/sears-kmart-up-for-grabs Sears and Kmart stores are up for grabs across California. But who wants all that space? By SAMANTHA MASUNAGA, ROGER VINCENT AUG. 28, 2020 6 AM Beleaguered American retailers are closing thousands of stores as the COVID-19 pandemic wears on. Already, a plethora of chains have filed for bankruptcy protection, including jeans brand True Religion, department store chain J.C. Penney Co., home goods retailer Pier 1 Imports Inc. and preppy clothes purveyor J. Crew. Not only are the companies dealing with a changing retail environment that favors e-commerce, they’re also facing a sharp decrease in sales because of the pandemic. In Southern California, the dwindling number of Sears and Kmart stores are among the latest pushed to the edge. At least three Kmart stores and 10 Sears locations are listed for lease on the website of commercial real estate services firm JLL. The Kmart stores are in Costa Mesa, Grass Valley and Long Beach. The Sears stores are in Burbank, Boyle Heights, Clovis, Concord, Downey, Pasadena, Sacramento, Stockton and Whittier, and the Sears Auto Center in Orange. Sears and Kmart parent company Transformco declined to comment on whether the 13 stores were closing. All of the locations were still listed Thursday on Kmart and Sears store locator sites, but the properties are available for rent immediately, which signals that the stores could be quickly closed to make way for new lessees. Assuming anyone is interested in moving in. Even before COVID-19 hit, retail real estate owners were struggling to find tenants interested in taking over the massive husks left behind by failing department stores and big box retailers.

The only viable way to avert the demise of the domestic auto industry was for the government to form a new corporate entity and purchase Old GM’s assets in a sale under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. As authorized by Section 363(f), the Sale Order provided that the government- owned entity obtained Old GM’s assets “free and clear” of Old GM’s liabilities (other than those expressly assumed). Years after the sale closed, groups of plaintiffs sued the good-faith purchaser of Old GM’s assets, seeking to impose successor liability for Old GM’s alleged pre-sale wrongdoing.

I want to begin by reiterating our unwavering commitment to our employees, customers and partners in China. The video you just saw captures our energy, our passion and our confidence as we envision a future with zero crashes, zero emissions and zero congestion. This vision drives every team member, everywhere, every day. We are investing heavily in the technology and innovation that will help us realize our vision. From 2020 to 2025, we will allocate more than $20 billion in capital and engineering resources to our EV and AV programs. General Motors brings a deep history of technical expertise as we continue to innovate to deliver safe, efficient, connected vehicles and services that lead the industry and exceed our customers' expectations. In China, we laid out Drive to 2030 – the advanced technology roadmap for our China vehicle portfolio – at the World Expo in Shanghai 10 years ago. As GM’s largest market and a global center of innovation, China will play a very crucial role in making our vision a reality. With our joint venture partner SAIC, we are blending global insights and scale with local market expertise to redefine what is possible for our customers and for society. • I thank SAIC Chairman Chen Hong for his leadership and partnership that have contributed to our shared success. 1 Today, our team will give you a clear look at everything we are doing to transform how we get around today … and in the future.
