The company’s restructuring plan is aimed at facilitating its long-term, strategic goals of improving profitability.
hhgregg president and CEO Bob Riesbeck said: “Since filing for financial protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on 6 March 2017, we have continued to fight for the future of our company.
“While we had discussions with more than 50 private equity firms, strategic buyers, and other investors, unfortunately, we were unsuccessful in our plan to secure a viable buyer of the business on a going-concern basis within the expedited timeline set by our creditors.
“We have, however, received and accepted a bid for liquidation of our assets.”
