A deal is likely to be implemented through an insolvency process, the broadcaster reported.
Hilco specialises in buying embattled retailers and oversaw the collapse of HMV last year.

The Greek jewellery chain said it had appointed Deloitte and Savigny Partners to look into sale options.

The jeweller has already closed 15 US stores as part of a restructuring plan to avoid insolvency.
