The retailer said last week that it was defaulting on its loans and did not have sufficient funds to pay off the debt, AP notes. The home improvement chain said in a January 26 SEC filing that the default would force it to consider alternatives, including debt restructuring in bankruptcy court.

On Jan. 5, Bed Bath & Beyond warned it was considering options, including filing for bankruptcy, saying there were “substantial doubts” that it would be able to stay in business. A week later, the company reported a 33% drop in sales and an increase in losses for the third fiscal quarter ended November 26, compared to the same period last year. Sales at stores opened at least a year ago – a key indicator of a company’s health – fell 32%, according to the Associated Press.
