Najafi Cos., which owns the Book-of-the-Month Club, will also assume US$220 million in debt.

The agreement is tentative and is what is known as a “stalking horse” bid for a company under bankruptcy protection. The bid will open an auction for the company and its assets, so a higher bid is possible.

A bankruptcy court hearing on the deal is set for July 21.
