Generally, we're going to start with

David Peress from Hilco Streambank announcing what
17
the current hidest bid is.
18
We are going to move forward,
19
initially at least, with bids of -- over bids of
20
$50,000.
21
There will be no time limit, but
22
since we -- at this point I think we are down to
23
dollars, we expect there won't be a need for a

significant amount of time in between bids.

We would like each

MR. PERESS:
My name is David Peress
10
from Hilco Bankstream, the ID broker retained in
11
the bankruptcy case.
12
13
So a couple of things
housekeeping-wise.
14
The debtor received a stalking horse
15
bid from WS 2017, LLC, an affiliate of YM, and
16
then received two overbids, one from Fashion Nova
17
of $1.65 million, and one from GB Brands of $1.65
18
million.
19
In connection with the intellectual
20
property assets that we are seeking to sell,
21
there's been some discussion about the sale of
22
customer data by the company.
23
The company has been working with a
24
consumer privacy ombudsman in this case, Elise
25
Frejka, who has provided the company certain

guidance in terms of what her recommendations will
2
be as it relates to the transfer of personally
3
identifiable information.
4
And in particular as it relates to
5
e-mails, as we've disclosed to the interested
6
parties, the debtor maintains e-mails principally
7
in two databases.
8
9
One is a marketing database that
contains principally e-mails, that's called List
10
Track.
List Track is a third-party service they
11
use to push e-mail campaigns.
12
database consists of approximately 2.97 million
13
opt-in e-mail addresses.
14
That e-mail
In addition, the debtors, since 2007,
15
have maintained an order management system called
16
EMS that maintains information related to orders
17
placed on its ecommerce sites randb.com and
18
wetseal.com.
19
The EMS website contains
20
approximately 6.8 million e-mail addresses
21
associated to purchase order histories of
22
customers.
23
In consultation with the consumer
24
privacy ombudsman, we've agreed to limit the sale
25
of e-mail addresses in the EMS system to customers

definitely are e-mail addresses associated to

Upon the
In other respects, it's the
8
expectation of the debtor that the buyer of any
9
personally identifiable information is going to
10
adhere to the debtor's general privacy policy as
11
it relates to use of data, and that in connection
12
with its initial marketing messages to opt-in
13
e-mail customers, that they will provide the
14
opportunity to unsubscribe or opt out if those
15
customers elect to do so.
16
Before we go any further, does
17
anybody have any further questions about the
18
treatment of personally identifiable information,
19
and in particular e-mail data in this case?
20
(No response.)
21
MR. PERESS:
22
Prior to convening the auction, the
23
debtor's counsel circulated to the three parties
24
in the room conformed redlined copies of the Asset
25
Purchase Agreement.
Okay, thank you.

For purposes of this auction we are

proceeding on the basis that if you make a bid,

you are agreeing to the terms of that redlined

draft except for any additional changes that the
