Circuit City® and Compusa® Intellectual Property Portfolios ______ WORLD RENOWNED BRAND OFFERING Circuit City® and CompUSA® Intellectual Property Portfolios ______________________________________________________________________________ Hilco Streambank has been engaged to market for sale the Circuit City® and CompUSA® trademarks and associated domain names. This executive summary provides a brief description of the assets available for sale. Opportunity: This offering presents a unique opportunity to own two iconic and world‐wide known consumer electronics brands that are universally recognized by consumers. Circuit City® and CompUSA® were two of the pioneers in the mass expansion of the retail consumer electronics industry. The worldwide brand recognition creates an opportunity in categories across a broad range of consumer electronics and computer offerings, such as: Brick & Mortar Retail in the US and worldwide (owned, franchised and/or licensed) “Store‐within‐a‐store” at a major retailer Online Internet Retail Sites Consumer Electronics Kiosks at airports, convenience stores, malls and other high traffic locales Web Portals for consumer product information & computer tech assistance Branding of Consumer Electronics, computers, and accessories Background: Circuit City® ‐ Circuit City was an American and worldwide consumer electronics retailer. It was founded in 1949 and pioneered the electronics superstore format in the 1970s. It specialized in brand‐name consumer electronics, personal computers, entertainment software and large appliances. At the time of its liquidation in 2009, Circuit City was the second largest U.S. electronics retailer in the world with 567 Circuit City Superstores nationwide, ranging in size from 15,000 to 45,000 square feet as well as a robust online business through its circuitcity.com website. At its peak, Circuit City boasted annual sales of more than $11 Billion, including a strong online platform. The Circuit City brand was bought by Systemax in 2009 through a chapter 11 bankruptcy auction. Systemax, which owns and operates the highly respected Tiger Direct retail business, maintained the brand as an online retailer under the CircuitCity.com domain. The online store maintained its own independent presence until the website was re‐directed to Systemax’s TigerDirect site. During the time it was owned by Systemax the CircuitCity.com domain experienced consistent user traffic in the tens of millions annually. CompUSA® ‐ CompUSA was a retailer and reseller of consumer electronics, technology products, and computer services. CompUSA was a leading operator of computer superstores in the United States, with more than 200 stores in 84 major metropolitan markets offering more than 5,000 products, including microcomputer hardware, software, accessories, and related items. The company's operations also include direct sales to corporate, government, and education customers. CompUSA superstores, each of which had approximately 25,000 square feet of retail space, offered technical support to their customers, repair and service of merchandise, built‐to‐order desktop and notebook personal computers and training centers. CompUSA also sold its products on the internet through its online store. In Januray of 2008 Systemax purchased 16 retail locations and other company assets including the trademarks, e‐commerce business, and technical services. Systemax continuously maintained CompUSA as an online internet retailer of computers and related accessories. Additionally, in 2008 Systemax announced that 11 of its TigerDirect® branded stores would be rebranded as CompUSA® retail locations. Over the next 3 years TigerDirect and CompUSA were cobranded on Systemax’s TigerDirect retail locations which grew, at their height, to 43 stores. As part of Systemax’s branding consolidation, all CompUSA stores are being changed over to TigerDirect and CompUSA.com traffic has been redirected to the TigerDirect site. During its run with Systemax, the CompUSA stores generated significant sales and the CompUSA.com site generated consistent traffic of tens of millions of annual visitors.

  • TD Retail Trade Channel and Sub-Channel Definitions
    Retail Trade Channel and Sub-Channel Definitions TDLinx uses official industry-standard definitions for each trade channel when available or uses rigorous developed definitions. Industry endorsement and support of these definitions has come from: • Trade Associations: o The Food Marketing Institute (FMI) o Grocery Manufacturers of America (GMA) o National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) • Trade Publications o Convenience Store News o Progressive Grocer The Nielsen Company services (Nielsen, TDLinx and Spectra) are also aligned and endorse these channel definitions. Every record in the TDLinx Channel Database is classified with both a standard trade channel code and a sub-channel code. Grocery Trade Channel (trade channel code = 05) The Grocery Trade Channel includes stores selling food and non-food items, including dry grocery, canned goods and perishable items. This channel includes the following sub-channels: Conventional Supermarket, Superette, Supercenter, Limited Assortment, Natural/Gourmet Foods, Cash & Carry Warehouse and Military Commissary A “supermarket” is a full-line, self-service grocery store with annual sales volume of $2 million or more. This definition applies to individual stores regardless of total company size or sales, and therefore includes both chain and independent locations; and includes stores regardless of grocery sub-channel classification. TDLinx utilizes the supermarket trade channel definition endorsed by FMI and the leading industry publication Progressive Grocer. FMI is a nonprofit association of 1,500 food retailers and wholesalers, their subsidiaries and customers. Conventional Supermarket (sub-channel code = 5) A conventional supermarket is a traditional full-line, self-service grocery store with annual sales volume of $2 million or more. This definition applies to individual stores regardless of total company size or sales, and therefore includes both chain and independent locations.

This dissertation comprises three esssays that study the decisions of system innovators in mobile computing to "open" development of their systems to outside suppliers and the implications of doing so.

This is a class action on behalf of all purchasers of the common stock and publicly traded options of CompUSA, Inc. ("CompUSA" or the "Company") between 12/31/97 and 4/29/98 against CompUSA and certain of its top insiders. In 12/97, CompUSA's stock declined by 32% (from $38 on 12/1/97 to $25-3/4 on 12/29/97) due to investor concerns that CompUSA and other computer retailers were encountering slow sales growth and increasing pressure on profit margins due to increased price competition. This sharp price decline eliminated millions of dollars in value of the CompUSA stock owned and options to purchase CompUSA stock held by its insiders. 2. In order to halt this decline in CorripU SA stock and to artificially inflate it back up to higher levels so that they could sell off large amounts of their CompUSA stock, top CompUSA insiders falsely reported to the market in early 1/98, inter alia, that CompUSA was achieving strong sales in both its inexpensive PCs (below $1,000) and its higher margin computers despite the experiences of other similar computer retailers.

This is a class action on behalf of all purchasers of the common stock and publicly traded options of CompUSA, Inc. ("CompUSA" or the "Company") between 12/31/97 and 3/5/98, against CompUSA and certain of its top insiders. CompUSA's stock declined sharply from $38 on 12/1/97 to $25-3/4 on 12/29/97 -- 32% -- due to investor concerns that CompUSA and other computer retailers were encountering slowing sales growth and suffering profit margin pressure due to price cutting and increased sales of lower priced PCs. This sharp price decline eliminated millions of dollars in value of the CompUSA stock owned and options to purchase CompUSA stock held by its insiders. 2. In order to halt this decline in CompUSA stock and to artificially inflate it back up to higher levels so that they could sell off large amounts of their CompUSA stock, CompUSA's top insiders falsely told the securities markets that CompUSA was encountering very strong sales of its more expensive higher margin PCs, that its profit margins were intact, the industry's trend toward lower priced PCs was "healthy" for CompUSA i s business and CompUSA expected to achieve strong revenue and EPS growth during 98, with 98 earnings per share ("EPS") of at least $1.35.
