United States Bankruptcy Court District of Delaware Case 18-10700-MFW Doc 17 Filed 03/27/18 Page 1 of 66 UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT DISTRICT OF DELAWARE ------------------------------------------------------------ x In re: : : Chapter 11 : SOUTHEASTERN GROCERS, LLC, et al. : Case No. 18– ________ ( ) : Debtors.1 : (Joint Administration Requested) : ------------------------------------------------------------ x MOTION OF DEBTORS FOR APPROVAL OF (I) PROCEDURES FOR STORE CLOSING SALES; AND (II) ASSUMPTION OF THE LIQUIDATION CONSULTING AGREEMENT Southeastern Grocers, LLC (“SEG”) and its affiliated debtors in the above- captioned chapter 11 cases, as debtors and debtors in possession (collectively, the “Debtors”), respectfully represent as follows in support of this motion (the “Motion”): Preliminary Statement 1. A key component of the Debtors’ financial and operational restructuring strategy is rationalizing the Debtors’ store footprint through a process that enhances the profile and profitability of the overall business. For the past several months, the Debtors and their advisors have engaged in a systematic review of each of their stores, analyzing their performance, profitability, and market impact, as well as a comprehensive effort to renegotiate 1 The Debtors in these chapter 11 cases, along with the last four digits of each Debtor’s federal tax identification number, as applicable, are: Southeastern Grocers, LLC (5190); ARP Ballentine LLC (6936); ARP Chickamauga LLC (9515); ARP Hartsville LLC (7906); ARP James Island LLC (9163); ARP Moonville LLC (0930); ARP Morganton LLC (4010); ARP Winston Salem LLC (2540); BI-LO Finance Corp.

(2359); Opal Holdings, LLC (2667); Samson Merger Sub, LLC (4402); Winn-Dixie Logistics, LLC (2949); Winn-Dixie Montgomery Leasing, LLC (6899); Winn-Dixie Montgomery, LLC (2119); Winn-Dixie Properties, LLC (7105); Winn-Dixie Raleigh Leasing, LLC (6812); Winn-Dixie Raleigh, LLC (0665); Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc. (4290); Winn-Dixie Stores Leasing, LLC (7019); Winn-Dixie Supermarkets, Inc. (8837); and Winn-Dixie Warehouse Leasing, LLC (6709). The Debtors’ mailing address is 8928 Prominence Parkway, #200, Jacksonville, Florida 32256. Case 18-10700-MFW Doc 17 Filed 03/27/18 Page 2 of 66 leases with landlords for lower profitability stores in order to preserve as many locations as possible (the “Lease Mitigation Process”). Historically, the Debtors’ underperforming stores, among other things, are in regions over-saturated with competition (new and historical) and/or are too costly for the Debtors to operate. Accordingly, continued operation of such underperforming stores no longer remains viable. Indeed, before the commencement of these chapter 11 cases, the Debtors identified and commenced the wind down and liquidation of eighty-five (85) stores (the “Closing Stores”).2 A list of the Closing Stores is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 2. In formulating the list of Closing Stores, the Debtors considered, among other factors, current occupancy costs, historical store profitability, recent and projected sales trends, the opportunity to capitalize on high “transfer sales” (i.e., sales that would flow to the Debtors other store locations within close proximity), the competitive landscape (including new entrants) in the geographic market in which each store is located, the potential to realize negotiated rent reductions with applicable landlords, specific circumstances related to a store’s performance, and whether any firm offer for such store was obtained or likely available from third-parties. The Debtors estimate that, absent closure, the Closing Stores will collectively generate approximately $13.4 million in losses for the fiscal year 2018. Alternatively, by closing 2 Prior to the Lease Mitigation Process, the Debtors historically engaged in a similar, but less stringent review of their store footprint each year as part of their ongoing operational initiatives. During these reviews, it was not uncommon for the Debtors to identify underperforming stores that were too burdensome and cost-prohibitive to continue to operate. As a result, the Debtors liquidated and closed numerous stores in the years leading up to Petition Date, some of which remain subject to unexpired leases (the “Dark Stores”). Contemporaneously herewith, the Debtors have moved to reject thirteen (13) unexpired leases associated with the Dark Stores pursuant to that certain Omnibus Motion of Debtors Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §§ 365 and 554 and Fed. R. Bankr. P. 6006 and 6007 for Authority to (I) Reject Certain Unexpired Leases and Subleases of Nonresidential Real Property and Abandon Certain Property in Connection Therewith Effective as of the Petition Date and (II) Implement Procedures for the Rejection of Certain Leases (the “Lease Rejection Motion”). 2 Case 18-10700-MFW Doc 17 Filed 03/27/18 Page 3 of 66 the Closing Stores, the Debtors estimate that they will realize approximately $11.7 million in savings for the remainder of the 2018 fiscal year. 3. In the months leading up to the commencement of these chapter 11 cases, the Debtors, in consultation with their professionals and advisors, designed streamlined procedures to sell or otherwise dispose of the inventory and furniture, fixtures, and equipment (“FF&E” and, together with applicable inventory, the “Store Closing Assets”) at the Closing Stores, in each case, free and clear of all liens, claims, interests, and other encumbrances (the “Store Closing Procedures,” and the liquidation sales, the “Store Closing Sales”). 4. The Debtors also conducted an extensive prepetition and sales process to sell as many of the Debtors’ underperforming stores as possible. As a result of these efforts, the Debtors successfully negotiated and executed eight (8) lease sale transactions for the sale of thirty-nine (39) stores to certain third-party purchasers, the sale of thirty-three (33) of which remains subject to approval by the Court (the “Sold Stores”).3 As certain of these sale transactions only contemplate the sale of unexpired leases and FF&E, the Store Closing Procedures will also apply to the Sold Stores to the extent applicable. A list of the Sold Stores is attached hereto as Exhibit B (the Sold Stores, together with the Closing Stores, the “Stores”). 5. Before commencing any store liquidations, the Debtors and their advisors, including the Liquidation Consultant (defined below), formulated a comprehensive store closing schedule. Store Closing Sales at the Stores began on or around March 15, 2018, and are expected to be completed by April 30, 2018. The Debtors expect to promptly close or 3 Contemporaneously herewith, the Debtors have filed a motion seeking approval of certain procedures to authorize sales transactions for underperforming stores, including the Sold Stores (the “Sale Procedures Motion”). Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtors consummated a sale transaction for the sale of six (6) stores. 3 Case 18-10700-MFW Doc 17 Filed 03/27/18 Page 4 of 66 consummate a pending sale transaction for each store pursuant to the Store Closing Procedures upon completion of the Store Closing Sales. 6. To maximize the value of the Store Closing Assets and effectuate an orderly liquidation process, the Debtors also seek authority to assume a liquidation consulting agreement dated February 20, 2018 (the “Liquidation Consulting Agreement”) between Southeastern Grocers, LLC and a joint venture comprised of Hilco Merchant Resources, LLC (“Hilco”) and Gordon Brothers Retail Partners, LLC (“Gordon Brothers” and, together with Hilco, the “Liquidation Consultant”). With the help of the Liquidation Consultant, the Debtors estimate that the sale of the Store Closing Assets in the Stores will yield approximately $60 million in gross proceeds. 7. The relief requested in this Motion is integral to maximizing value for the Debtors’ estates and their economic stakeholders. It will permit the Debtors to continue implementing the Store Closing Sales at the Stores, and it will establish fair and uniform Store Closing Procedures to assist the Debtors and their creditors through the Debtors’ transition to a leaner, more profitable enterprise. Background 8. On the date hereof (the “Petition Date”), the Debtors each commenced with this Court a voluntary case under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). The Debtors are authorized to continue to operate their business and manage their properties as debtors in possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. No trustee, examiner, or statutory committee of creditors has been appointed in these chapter 11 cases. 4 Case 18-10700-MFW Doc 17 Filed 03/27/18 Page 5 of 66 9. Contemporaneously herewith, the Debtors have filed a motion requesting joint administration of their chapter 11 cases pursuant to Rule 1015(b) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the “Bankruptcy Rules”). 10. On March 15, 2018, the Debtors executed a restructuring support agreement (the “Restructuring Support Agreement”) with (a) holders of approximately eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding principal amount of the Debtors’ 8.625%/9.375% Senior PIK Toggle Notes due 2018 (collectively, the “Unsecured Notes”), of which approximately 68% are held or controlled by the members of an ad hoc group (the “Initial Consenting Noteholders”) and approximately 12% are held or controlled by LSF7 Bond Holdings Ltd.

  • Company Profile
    COMPANY PROFILE Market Position and Strategy Overview Albertsons and Safeway completed a merger on January 30, 2015, forming a combined company that is the 2nd largest supermarket chain in the U.S. The Albertsons network now spans over 2,300 stores across 35 states and the District of Columbia under 20 well-known banners including Albertsons, Safeway, Vons, Jewel-Osco, Shaw’s, Acme, Tom Thumb, Randalls, United Supermarkets, Pavilions, Star Market, Amigos and Carrs, as well as meal kit company Plated based in New York City. Together, the retailers net upwards of $59.9 billion in sales yearly and employ 273,000 people. Albertsons is backed by private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management, and is one of the two most active acquirers in the U.S. grocery industry along with The Kroger Co. Post-merger, Albertsons and Safeway created a single, merged management team to better compete against segment leader Kroger and discount rivals such as Walmart. It’s divided into 14 retail divisions, with headquarters based in Phoenix, Boise, ID, and Pleasanton, CA. While division- level leadership is largely responsible for its own sales and profitability, the corporate team serves to deepen relationships with national vendors, set long term strategy and provide data insights to individual chains. The decentralized structure allows the company to combine the local presence of its banners (many of which have long-running operations) with its national scale in order to drive brand recognition, customer loyalty and purchasing, marketing and advertising, and distribution efficiencies. In June 2016, the joint company completed the acquisition of Bellingham, WA-based Haggen, which was facing bankruptcy at the time.

  • Safeway Partners with Sunoco to Bring Popular Gas Rewards Program to East Coast Sunoco Stations
    NEWS RELEASE Safeway Partners with Sunoco to Bring Popular Gas Rewards Program to East Coast Sunoco Stations 8/31/2016 Even more customers can now make shopping for groceries count at the pump LANHAM, Md., Aug. 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Safeway and Sunoco LP have teamed up to expand Safeway's popular Gas Rewards program to Sunoco stations in parts of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and Washington D.C. Safeway customers who earn Gas Reward when they shop now have the option of redeeming their Rewards, up to 20 cents off per gallon, at Sunoco stations. The expansion of the Gas Rewards program helps to maximize value and savings for both Safeway and Sunoco customers through the combination of quality, convenience and rewards. "Our Gas Rewards program is an easy and convenient way to save money while doing something you do every week — shop for groceries," said Safeway Eastern Division President Dan Valenzuela. "We're excited to team up with Sunoco, a powerhouse in the fuel industry that has stations throughout the East Coast, to bring Sunoco customers, as well as our own valued customers, additional savings when they fuel up at Sunoco stations." Previously, Safeway's Gas Rewards, which increase with each $100 spent using a Safeway Club Card, were redeemable only at Safeway fuel stations. Beyond savings, customers also benefit from the ease with which they can earn and redeem their Reward Points. With more than 120 Safeway stores in Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and Washington D.C. offering the program to shoppers, and approximately 200 Sunoco stations currently participating, grocery shopping and saving at the pump are now even more convenient.

  • Analysis of Proposed Consent Order to Aid Public Comment
    ANALYSIS OF AGREEMENT CONTAINING CONSENT ORDER TO AID PUBLIC COMMENT In the Matter of Cerberus Institutional Partners V, L.P., AB Acquisition, LLC, and Safeway Inc. File No. 141 0108 I. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND The Federal Trade Commission (“Commission”) has accepted for public comment, subject to final approval, an Agreement Containing Consent Order (“Consent Order”) from Cerberus Institutional Partners V, L.P. (“Cerberus”), its wholly owned subsidiary, AB Acquisition, LLC (“Albertson’s”), and Safeway Inc. (“Safeway”) (collectively, the “Respondents”). On March 6, 2014, Albertson’s and Safeway entered into a merger agreement whereby Albertson’s agreed to purchase 100% of the equity of Safeway for approximately $9.2 billion (the “Acquisition”). The purpose of the proposed Consent Order is to remedy the anticompetitive effects that otherwise would result from the Acquisition. Under the terms of the proposed Consent Order, Respondents are required to divest 168 stores and related assets in 130 local supermarket geographic markets (collectively, the “relevant markets”) in eight states to four Commission-approved buyers. The divestitures must be completed within a time-period ranging from 60 to 150 days following the date of the Acquisition. Finally, the Commission and Respondents have agreed to an Order to Maintain Assets that requires Respondents to operate and maintain each divestiture store in the normal course of business, through the date the store is ultimately divested to a buyer. The proposed Consent Order has been placed on the public record for 30 days to solicit comments from interested persons. Comments received during this period will become part of the public record.
