The Bon-Ton Stores, Inc. announced on February 4, 2018 that the Company and its subsidiaries have filed voluntary petitions for a court-supervised financial restructuring under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The Company is currently engaged in constructive discussions with potential investors and its debtholders regarding the terms of a financial restructuring plan.
