Eddie Bauer names chief restructuring officer

Chicago Eddie Bauer Holdings, which was recently purchased by a private-equity firm for $286 million, said late Thursday that it named Brent Kugman as its chief restructuring officer.

Kugman's appointment was approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.

Earlier this month San Francisco-based Golden Gate Capital closed a deal to buy Eddie Bauer. The deal with Golden Gate was approved by a bankruptcy judge in July. Eddie Bauer has been operating under court protection since June.
