As set forth in detail in the Florida strategy Motion, the Florida strategy involves the disposition of Debtors' respective interests in three Burdine's stores in Florida and 21 Maas stores in Florida and south carolina, including the clearwater store. On April 11, 1991, this Court entered an order approvinq the Florida strategy and qranting the relief requested in the Florida strategy Motion (the "Florida strategy order"). 7. In connection with the Florida strategy, Debtors have received firm offers to purchase their respective interests in a number of the retail department stores covered by the Florida strategy, including the freestanding Clearwater store, and have consummated the sales of 11 stores for an aqqreqate purchase price of $77.6 million. By this Motion, Debtors respectfullY seek authority, pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code and in accordance with the bid solicitation and sales procedures set forth in the Florida strategy order, to transfer to the city their respective interests in the Clearwater store on the termS and conditions described below. -3- 4548A/X -- I PINELLAS COUNTY FLA I OFF.REC.BK 7755 PG 15;9 The Pronertv 8.

Based upon Debtors' business judgment, approval of the contract and consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby are in the best interests of Debtors and their respective estates and creditors and are consistent with the Florida strategy for the following reasons: a. Debtors and the city negotiated the contract in good faith and at arms-length and the terms and conditions thereof are fair and reasonable. b. The total consideration to be realized by Debtors under the Contract, in the amount of $1.9 million, is fair and reasonable and the execution and delivery of the contract and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby will result in substantial economic benefit to Debtors and their respective estates and creditors. Moreover, the purchase Price to be received by Debtors upon the sale of the Property to the city is consistent with the assumptions set forth in Debtors' business plan. comDetina Bids 12. The Florida strategy Order established certain bid solicitation and sales procedures relating to the disposition of the stores covered thereby. In accordance therewith, Debtors have actively marketed their interests in the Clearwater store and made reasonable, good faith efforts to identify and solicit offers from qualified potential purchasers thereof. The city's offer to purchase the Property, as -5- 4548A/X o I 1 ':~- l t .~ .~ l t I :~~ I . .,'~ . I PINELL~S COUNTY FLA. I OFF · REC · BK 7755 PG_~ 60 ~ embodied in the Contract, is the most favorable offer received by Debtors to date. 13. In connection with the proposed sale of their interests in the Clearwater store, Debtors will comply with the bid solicitation and sales procedures set forth in the Florida strategy Order, as such order may be amended from time to time. The Florida strategy Order and the contract expressly contemplate that third parties may submit, and Debtors may consider, competing bids for Debtors' interests in the property, provided that such bids are on the same or more favorable terms and conditions as those set forth in the contract and exceed the purchase price by five percent (or $95,000), plus the "break-up fee" of $20,000. Accordingly, pursuant to the Florida strategy Order, Debtors expressly reserve the right to accept one or more competing bids for the Property.
