Red Lobster Canada to ask court to recognize stalking horse bid, OK sales process
BNN Bloomberg
Red Lobster Canada will ask an Ontario court next week to recognize a stalking horse bid from its lenders and approve a sales process for its assets.
Court filings made on behalf of the beleaguered seafood chain’s Canadian operations say the matter will be heard by the Superior Court of Justice on June 18, as long as a U.S. court approves the sales process before then.
The filings say the steps are meant to preserve Red Lobster’s business in Canada.
The documents say the stalking horse bid will give lenders a chance to sell the company’s assets in a way that preserves and maximizes their value and helps them avoid the risk of assets being sold for a lower price.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday said the U.S. was talking with a “respected” Iranian leader and claimed the Islamic Republic was eager for a deal to end the war. He also extended a deadline for Iran to reopen the crucial Strait of Hormuz or face attacks on its power plants, saying it has an additional five days.
