Under the terms of the Kwik Pik agreement ,the Uni-Marts assets are being sold on an "as-is, where-is" basis for a purchase price of $10 million for the Ohio assets and $6.7 million for the assets located in Pennsylvania [image-nocss] and New York with no environmental or financing contingencies.
The court-approved auction procedures in this case allow bidders to bid on the entire company, groups of assets and on individual stores in order to compete against Bethlehem, Pa.-based Kwik Pik.
Asset purchase agreements for single assets and smaller groups of assets are available for prospective buyers through Matrix Capital Markets Group Inc., Richmond, Va. Only qualified bidders, those that have fulfilled the bid requirements as defined in the court-approved auction procedures and submitted offers by the bid deadline of September 16, 2009, will be invited to attend the auction on September 23.
Tom Kelso, managing director and principal of Matrix, said, "We are extremely pleased that Kwik Pik has been approved as the stalking horse, and we look forward to a highly competitive auction which will result in an excellent return to the Uni-Marts creditors."
