The Bon-Ton Stores, Inc. (OTCPK:BONT.Q) said in court on February 6, 2018 it was in talks with potential investors as part of an effort to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy, despite calls from some bondholders that it liquidate. It also is exploring a full or partial sale, or if needed, liquidation, Bon-Ton’s lawyers said. They proposed an April 2, 2018 deadline for bids, even as a group of bondholders argued for an immediate liquidation as the most promising road to recovery for creditors.
