NOTE 10—BANKRUPTCY CLAIMS RESOLUTION AND SETTLEMENTS
Background
On May 6, 2003, Kmart Corporation (the “Predecessor Company”), a predecessor operating company of
Kmart, emerged from reorganization proceedings under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy laws pursuant to
the terms of a plan of reorganization (the “Plan of Reorganization”). The Predecessor Company is an indirect,
wholly-owned subsidiary of Kmart and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings. Upon emergence, all
of the then outstanding equity securities of the Predecessor Company, as well as substantially all of its
pre-petition liabilities were cancelled. On the day of emergence, 89.7 million shares of Kmart common stock and
options to purchase 8.2 million shares of Kmart common stock were issued pursuant to the Plan of
Reorganization, of which 31.9 million shares of the Kmart common stock issued were allocated to satisfy the
pre-petition claims of unsecured Class 5 creditors.
In connection with the emergence from Chapter 11, Kmart reflected the terms of the Plan of Reorganization
in its consolidated financial statements, applying the terms of SOP 90-7 with respect to financial reporting upon
emergence from Chapter 11 (“Fresh-Start Accounting”). Upon applying Fresh-Start Accounting, a new reporting
entity was deemed to have been created and the recorded amounts of assets and liabilities were adjusted to reflect
their estimated fair values.
Claims Resolution
During the third quarter of 2008, we completed the settlement of substantially all of the claims associated
with the discharge of the Predecessor Company’s liabilities subject to compromise pursuant to the Plan of
