David Jones' owners, Anchorage Capital Partners and Hilco Global, said they were considering a major reduction of the retailer's store network to preserve the business. Earlier reports indicated the historic department store had breached a loan covenant, prompting Hilco Global to inject extra capital to fund inventory for the upcoming Christmas season and sparking talk of a possible winding-up. The owners have been negotiating with landlords and suppliers, while several luxury brands have withdrawn, deepening uncertainty over the chain's future.
