(Reuters) - Sears Holdings Corp said it would form a real estate investment trust, which will buy about 254 Sears and Kmart stores in a transaction valued at more than $2.5 billion. The newly formed REIT, Seritage Growth Properties, will launch a rights offering to partially fund the purchase of the stores. In a separate deal, Sears said it would form a joint venture with General Growth Properties Inc , under which the retailer will sell 12 of its stores located in General Growth's malls, and lease them back.
