Currently, Circuit City is negotiating with “two interested parties” about selling off the company in a going concern transaction. The motion, filed with the Bankruptcy court indicates that an auction of the company and its assets would commence on January 13, and a sale hearing would occur on January 16, 2009. If a sale does not occur, the company can begin to liquidate. The full details are available in the press release, but the long-and-short of it is that the clock is ticking on Circuit City unless they can get a deal done really, really soon.
