Deb Shops: Ableco bid only offer for assets; Aug. 31 auction cancelled

By Caroline Salls

Pittsburgh, Aug. 30 - Deb Shops, Inc. said Tuesday that first-lien debt agent Ableco Finance LLC's stalking horse bid was the only offer received for substantially all of the company's assets as of the Aug. 24 bid deadline, according to a filing with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.

As a result, Deb Shops has cancelled its Aug. 31 auction.

As previously reported, Ableco has agreed to credit bid $75 million of the company's first-lien debt.

The sale hearing is scheduled for Sept. 13.

Deb Shops, a Philadelphia-based retailer that specializes in junior and plus-sized merchandise for women aged 13 to 25, filed for bankruptcy on June 26. The Chapter 11 case number is 11-11941.
