Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 28, 2015, dELiA*s, Inc. and its debtor affiliates (collectively, the “Debtors”) entered into that certain Letter Agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with Butterfly Retail Acquisition LLC, an affiliate of HRSH Acquisitions, LLC d/b/a Alloy Apparel & Accessories, LLC (the “Purchaser”), and a joint venture comprising of Hilco Merchant Resources, LLC and Gordon Brothers Retail Partners, LLC (together, the “Agent”) to effectuate a sale of the Acquired Assets (as defined therein). Pursuant to the Agency Agreement, dated December 22, 2014, by and among the Debtors and the Agent (the “Agency Agreement”), the Agent was authorized to designate a third party purchaser of certain assets, which included the Acquired Assets, and the proceeds of such sale will accrue to the Agent. The purchase price is $2.5 million in cash plus any cure amounts associated with any assumed contracts by Debtors in connection with such sale.

The Acquired Assets to be sold include all of Debtors’ membership interests in dELiA*s Brand LLC, a subsidiary of dELiA*s, Inc., and all of Debtors’ rights, title, and interests in and to the Intellectual Property (as defined therein) and related assets. The Letter Agreement also provides that the Agent will assist Purchaser in negotiations with the Debtors regarding a transition services agreement for the use of the distribution center of Debtors for a period of no less than 30 days after the closing date. The Agent will also acquire at closing a license to continue the use of certain intellectual property relating to the assets of the Debtors.

The Purchaser is the stalking horse bidder for the Acquired Assets, and the related auction and Bankruptcy Court sale hearing are expected to occur in February 2015. If an alternative transaction with respect to the Acquired Assets is consummated, the Purchaser shall be entitled to a break-up fee in the aggregate amount of 3% of the cash purchase price and expense reimbursement for up to $50,000 of reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses.

The transaction will close as of the later of three business days after the Bankruptcy Court enters into an approval order regarding the sale and the satisfaction of specified closing conditions of Agent. The outside termination date for the Letter Agreement is March 15, 2015, which may be extended by the Purchaser if such closing has not occurred due to the failure of Agent to satisfy specified conditions.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Letter Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
