LL Flooring Initiates Voluntary Chapter 11 Process - Seite 2

LL Flooring has filed a number of customary motions in connection with the Chapter 11 proceedings. Once approved by the Court, those motions will allow the Company to smoothly transition its business into Chapter 11, including by, among other things, granting authority to continue payment of wages and maintain healthcare and other benefits as well as certain other relief customary in these circumstances. The Company has sought authorization to continue honoring customer commitments subject to certain modifications of store operations or policies relating to its acceptance of customer deposits and gift cards. Any updates to store operations or policies will be posted on the Company’s website, where customers can also find a list of locations conducting store closing sales. The Company intends to pay vendors and suppliers in full under normal terms for goods and services provided on or after the Chapter 11 filing date and has requested Court approval to do so.
