hhgregg to Liquidate Assets

INDIANAPOLIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–hhgregg, Inc. (“hhgregg” or the “Company”) today announced that the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Indiana
approved the Company’s initiation of the process to liquidate the assets
of the Company commencing on April 8, 2017. As previously announced,
hhgregg executed a consulting agreement with a contractual joint venture
comprised of Tiger Capital Group, LLC and Great American Group, LLC to
conduct a sale of the merchandise and furniture, fixtures and equipment
located at the Company’s retail stores and distribution centers.

Since filing for financial protection under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy code on March 6, 2017, we have continued to fight for the
future of our company. While we had discussions with more than 50
private equity firms, strategic buyers, and other investors,
unfortunately, we were unsuccessful in our plan to secure a viable buyer
of the business on a going-concern basis within the expedited timeline
set by our creditors. We have, however, received and accepted a bid for
liquidation of our assets. This process will begin Saturday, April 8,
2017,” said Bob Riesbeck, President and Chief Executive Officer for
hhgregg.

The Company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on March 6, 2017.
The Company does not anticipate any value will remain from the
bankruptcy estate for the holders of the Company’s common stock,
although this will be determined in the continuing bankruptcy
proceedings.
