509M Paid to Sears Canada Shareholders Could Be Subject of Court Case | CBC News Page 1 of 7 $509M paid to Sears Canada shareholders could be subject of court case | CBC News Page 1 of 7 CBC $509M paid to Sears Canada shareholders could be subject of court case Court-appointed insolvency monitor identifies 'unresolved concerns' over 2013 dividend payments Sophia Harris · CBC News · Posted: Nov 08, 2018 4:00 AM ET | Last Updated: 3 hours ago Dividend payments to Sears shareholders in 2013 have raised concerns for the insolvent company's court-appointed monitor. (Frank Gunn/Canadian Press) https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/509m-paid-to-sears-canada-shareholders-could-be-subjec... 11/08/18 $509M paid to Sears Canada shareholders could be subject of court case | CBC News Page 2 of 7 An investigation into millions of dollars in dividend payments to Sears Canada shareholders while the company was in decline could soon lead to court action. On Nov. 19, the court-appointed monitor for the retailer's insolvency will seek permission from Ontario Superior Court to initiate proceedings against Eddie Lampert and his U.S. hedge fund, ESL Investments, in connection to $509 million paid to Sears shareholders in 2013. At the time, Lampert and ESL were major shareholders in the company, according to court documents . In its notice of motion, the monitor, FTI Consulting, says it has identified "unresolved concerns" over the dividend payments. Of particular concern, it says, was the apparent limited analysis that informed the decision, which was made at a time when Sears was facing "worsening financial results," and ESL appeared "to have had an urgent liquidity need." https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/509m-paid-to-sears-canada-shareholders-could-be-subjec... 11/08/18 $509M paid to Sears Canada shareholders could be subject of court case | CBC News Page 3 of 7 Eddie Lampert is chair of Sears Holdings in the U.S. and ESL Investments. (Sears Holdings) The monitor also claims there is evidence Lampert and two then-Sears Canada directors "significantly influenced" the dividend payout decision. The two former directors, William Harker and William Crowley, are also named in the potential proceedings. They each had close links to ESL and Lampert, according to the court documents. Harker and Crowley's lawyers declined to comment. None of the allegations in the notice of motion has been proven in court. ESL, of which Lampert is chair and CEO, said the 2013 dividend payments were authorized by Sears Canada's board of directors at a time when no ESL executives were members and the retailer was clearly solvent. "We believe there is no legal basis to reclaim those dividends and any attempt to do so would be without merit," ESL spokesperson Michael Mittelman said. Lampert is also chair of Sears Holdings in the U.S., which filed for bankruptcy protection last month with plans to restructure. Look into it The investigation into dividend payouts began in January, when the monitor announced it was reviewing $611 million the company paid to Sears Canada shareholders in 2012 and 2013. https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/509m-paid-to-sears-canada-shareholders-could-be-subjec... 11/08/18 $509M paid to Sears Canada shareholders could be subject of court case | CBC News Page 4 of 7 Next, Sears Canada retirees and other creditors asked Ontario Superior Court to scrutinize nearly $3 billion paid to Sears shareholders between 2005 and 2013. That could be a great thing for the pensioners, fantastic thing. - Sears Canada pensioner Ron Husk The retirees' aim was to recover some of the money to top up their pension payments, which have been reduced by 20 per cent because of a shortfall in the Sears pension fund. "That's why we wanted an investigation," said Ken Eady, vice-president of the Sears Canada Retiree Group (SCRG), a volunteer organization representing retirees. "We wanted to find out if there was money there that should have been ours." In March, the court appointed a litigation investigator to look into the dividend payments. According to court documents, both the monitor and the litigation investigator recommend proceeding with claims related to the 2013 payouts. • Sears pensioners try to recoup missing money by going after billions paid to shareholders https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/509m-paid-to-sears-canada-shareholders-could-be-subjec... 11/08/18 $509M paid to Sears Canada shareholders could be subject of court case | CBC News Page 5 of 7 • 'It's going to be hard': Sears pension payments cut by 30% this week When Sears paid $753 million in dividends in 2010, the approval process "appears to have been robust," the monitor says. The process included management presentations and meetings with outside lawyers to review the plan, according to court documents. In 2013, on the other hand, "the board and management devoted significantly less time and analysis" to the process with "limited" correspondence. FTI Consulting also noted that in 2010, Sears Canada had an operating profit of $196.3 million, but in 2013, it was operating at a loss of $187.8 million. An undervalued transfer Based on its findings, the monitor says it believes there's a reasonable basis for the court to consider whether the 2013 dividend payments represent a "transfer at undervalue" under Canada's Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act. "Generally, transfer at undervalue would mean the company is giving something to somebody for less than what it's worth," said Toronto-based commercial litigation lawyer Tamara Ramsey. "They've certainly concluded that there's some evidentiary basis for an argument that the payment of the dividend ... rendered the company insolvent, which in essence, is [an argument] the company couldn't afford to pay the dividend and the shareholders or certain insiders were taking care of themselves." https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/509m-paid-to-sears-canada-shareholders-could-be-subjec... 11/08/18 $509M paid to Sears Canada shareholders could be subject of court case | CBC News Page 6 of 7 Commercial litigation lawyer Tamara Ramsey says a 'transfer at undervalue' generally means a company is giving something to somebody for less than what it’s worth. (CBC) Sears Canada didn't file for bankruptcy protection until June 2017. It laid off 17,000 employees with no severance pay before closing its final stores in January. But in court documents, the monitor argues that in 2013, the retailer was already on "a path to inevitable insolvency." The evidence listed includes the company's "steadily declining financial performance" and its policy of "making significant distributions to shareholders without investing in the growth" of the business. https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/509m-paid-to-sears-canada-shareholders-could-be-subjec... 11/08/18 $509M paid to Sears Canada shareholders could be subject of court case | CBC News Page 7 of 7 Sears Canada retiree Ron Husk, 73, had to return to work to make up for the shortfall in his pension payments. (Rhonda Thistle) Sears Canada pensioner Ron Husk was happy to learn there may be court action involving the $509-million dividend payout. "That could be a great thing for the pensioners, fantastic thing," said Husk, who had to return to work as a greeter at Home Depot in Mount Pearl, N.L., to make up for the shortfall in his pension payments. He says he's holding out hope some of the dividend money will make its way back to Sears retirees. "I gave 35 years of my life to Sears. I don't want to be out working. I'm 73 years old." ©2018 CBC/Radio-Canada. All rights reserved. Visitez Radio-Canada.ca https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/509m-paid-to-sears-canada-shareholders-could-be-subjec... 11/08/18.

This Court granted summary judgment in favor of Defendant in August, 2007. Plaintiff appealed and the Sixth Circuit remanded so that Plaintiff could depose two additional witnesses and use those depositions in responding to Defendant’s motion. Plaintiff has now taken those two depositions and the matter is back before the Court on Defendant’s Renewed Motion to Dismiss and/or for Summary Judgment. The parties have fully briefed the issues. The Court finds that the issues have been adequately presented in the parties’ briefs and that oral argument would not significantly aid the decisional process. See Local Rule 7.1(f)(2), U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Michigan. The Court therefore orders that the motion will be decided upon the briefs.

  • Examining Market Reaction to Activist Investor Campaigns by Hedge Funds
    Examining Market Reaction to Activist Investor Campaigns by Hedge Funds Joe Ryan The Leonard N. Stern School of Business Glucksman Institute for Research in Securities Markets Faculty Advisor: Yakov Amihud April 3, 2006 I. Introduction Individual investors and institutional shareholders have long attempted to influence the behavior of management in hopes of increasing equity returns. In the past such efforts were typically limited to voting on specific governance procedures with little immediate or direct effect on the underlying business or composition of the management team. In effect, early activist investors worked to ensure that the board of directors acted as an effective agent of the shareholders.1 This type of activism was essentially passive, limiting shareholders to voting on board proposals or campaigning for certain marginal corporate governance measures. Shareholder activism was partially restrained by Securities and Exchange Commission rules that limited shareholder access to the issuer-funded proxy process. In 1992, however, the SEC promulgated Rule 14a-8 giving shareholders easier access to company proxy materials. This new rule and other factors led to an increase in shareholder activism in the proxy process and through informal negotiations with management.2 Despite this increase in shareholder activism over the past decade, studies suggest activist shareholders have had little impact on stock returns.3 These studies find no systematic effect of activist shareholder campaigns since the passage of Rule 14a-8. Authors suggest individual and institutional investors fail to effect shareholder returns because they are either too small, in the case of individual investors, or unable to trade their positions, in the case of institutional investors (Gillian and Starks (1996)).

  • Security Analysis by Benjamin Graham and David L. Dodd
    PRAISE FOR THE SIXTH EDITION OF SECURITY ANALYSIS “The sixth edition of the iconic Security Analysis disproves the adage ‘’tis best to leave well enough alone.’ An extraordinary team of commentators, led by Seth Klarman and James Grant, bridge the gap between the sim- pler financial world of the 1930s and the more complex investment arena of the new millennium. Readers benefit from the experience and wisdom of some of the financial world’s finest practitioners and best informed market observers. The new edition of Security Analysis belongs in the library of every serious student of finance.” David F. Swensen Chief Investment Officer Yale University author of Pioneering Portfolio Management and Unconventional Success “The best of the past made current by the best of the present. Tiger Woods updates Ben Hogan. It has to be good for your game.” Jack Meyer Managing Partner and CEO Convexity Capital “Security Analysis, a 1940 classic updated by some of the greatest financial minds of our generation, is more essential than ever as a learning tool and reference book for disciplined investors today.” Jamie Dimon Chairman and CEO JPMorgan Chase “While Coca-Cola found it couldn’t improve on a time-tested classic, Seth Klarman, Jim Grant, Bruce Greenwald, et al., prove that a great book can be made even better. Seth Klarman’s preface should be required reading for all investors, and collectively, the contributing editors’ updates make for a classic in their own right. The enduring lesson is that an understand- ing of human behavior is a critical part of the process of security analysis.” Brian C.

  • Why Lowe's, Sears Are Planning Store Closings
    Why Lowe’s, Sears Are Planning Store Closings Kmarts are dwindling and Orchard Supply Hardware will shutter ARTICLE AUGUST 23, 2018 Krista Garcia Add Sears and Lowe's to the list of retail shake-ups. Both companies announced shrinking brand portfolios this week, but the factors that necessitated these closures weren't exactly the same. Sears Holdings has been struggling for some time. Earlier this year the troubled retailer said it would close more than 200 stores by the end of 2018. Now it's adding 46 more: 33 Sears stores and 13 Kmart locations are set to shutter in November. The slow death of the mid-market mall has had dire consequences for traditional anchor stores like Sears. With shopping behavior shifting online and the fact that retailers built too many stores during boom times, Sears has found that the number of its brick-and-mortar stores isn't sustainable. Store productivity has been waning for years. The average sales per store have been declining since 2015. And the average sales per square foot have been shrinking for the past five years, falling from $126 in 2013 to $87 in 2018. Why Lowe’s, Sears Are Planning Store Closings: Kmarts are dwindling and Orchard Supply Hardware will shutter 1 ©2020 eMarketer Inc. All rights reserved. Eddie Lampert, CEO and chairman of Sears Holdings, earlier this month offered (in his capacity as a hedge fund manager) more than $400 million for the Kenmore appliance brand, one of Sears' last remaining valuable assets. Last year Sears sold its Craftsman tool brand to Stanley Black & Decker.
