Product placement

Saks: Acts - a retail company that underwent bankruptcy and restructuring. Its stores and operations are the subject of the video. Removing it would change the video entirely. Capital Academy: Appears - a logo and name associated with the course being promoted. Removing it would not change the video's core content about Saks, but would remove the branding for the course.

Transcript

I think this is single-handedly the hottest thing. I got game. Stock Sax Global's recent emergence from chapter 11 under the new name Examiner Luxury Group following significant balance sheet de-leveraging, operational restructuring and store restructuring. Now starting with the balance sheet Sax Center chapter 11 with about three and half billion of funded debt and emerged with only 840 million comprised with 340 million ABL and 500 million of exit term loans. The company used 11 to reject leases and rationalize its footing by reducing the store base from over 150 locations to just 49. So saw about 70 sacks off first stores closed down. We saw all 50 e-commerce get shut down in the remaining locations, largely being used to liquidate residual inventory. Now on the vendor side delayed vendor payments resulted in inventory shortages that compress the company's ABL borrowing based and accelerated liquidity pressure, but post-emergence sacks has its built more than 700 vendor relationships while reducing its reliance on concession and marketplace agreements. So sacks is effectively exiting here with a simplified capital structure, new relationships, smaller operating footprint and a three-year path back to profitability.
