Eckerd Corporation - too fragmented to trace 9 1/4 debt due 9/15/05. 1996 JC Penney acquired Eckerd for $3.3-billion; by 4/5/04, JCP announced it agreed to sell long-struggling Eckerd for $4.5 billion, splitting between CVS and Canadian Jean Coutu Group (JCOU). Could follow in JCP but this is not really good enough. Food-4-Less - Too fragmented to determine serviceor of 10 4/9 debt due 4/15/00, if it still existed in 2000. In 1996, Food 4 Less was operating under Ralph's, but which is owned by Yucaipa (private). It somehow became a Fleming Foods company, but by late 2001 Flemings had filed for bankruptcy protection. However, by 2003 Flemings was acquiring more Food 4 Less stores; yet, as of now selected Food 4 Less stores have been acquired by: Albertsons, Festa Food Group, QVS Food Group, Fresh Brands, Kroger, Metcalfe, Roundy's, and Save Mart Supermarkets. The Food 4 Less website takes you to Kroger. Grand Union Co.(GUCO)- Not in TRACE because Emerged from 1st of 3 bankruptcies 6/19/05. The 11 1/4% Senior Notes, 7/15/00, were exchanged pursuant to its 1995 Plan of Reorganization for 12% Senior Notes due 9/1/04. The 12% bonds were trading around .50 in Summer 1998. Final asset sale in late 2000 to C&S Wholesale Grocers, Inc. Sorry, bondholders. Marvel Parent Holdings - M&A's -> ToyBiz -> Marvel Enterprises, but not in TRACE. NL Industries, Inc. - Not in TRACE because 11 3/4% Senior Secured Notes due 10/15/03 UCC Discharged 6/28/02. Payless Cashways, Inc. - Not in TRACE because under terms of 1997 reorg. plan, claims by 9-1/8% senior subordinated notes received pro rata shares of the 8,269,329 shares of New Common Stock of the newly reorganized Company. Unfortunately, 6/01 the new company filed chapter 11 again. Service Merchandise - Ch 11, '01; Reorg plan of 4/03 provides that, among other things... the 9% senior subordinated debentures due 2004, the common stock, the preferred stock, and all ... shall be deemed canceled and of no further force and effect. Southland - FIPS Troubled, has to be 7-Eleven, Inc. None are in TRACE. The 5% First Priority Senior Subordinated Debentures due 12/15/03, retired 7/03 by proceeds of new Senior Subordinated Notes due 2010. Could use permno 77015 (SVEV, SE, or SLCM) since ongoing concern, but none of these bonds are in TRACE either. Trans World Airlines - 10% debt matured 1998. Asset sale to AMR completed 2001, so there is no servicing of TWA's debt by AMR. Could use AMR bonds for the paper but probably need to forget about this company.
