Sears Moves to Raise $2.5 Billion

Sears is taking steps to shore up its financials by selling 254 of its properties for $2.5 billion to Seritage Growth Properties, a REIT that it has established. It will then lease back the stores. In a separate move, Sears will contribute 12 stores to a joint venture with General Growth Properties.
