Item 1.03       Bankruptcy or Receivership.
 
As previously disclosed, on November 10, 2008, Circuit City Stores, Inc. (the "Registrant") and each of its wholly-owned United States and Puerto Rican subsidiaries (together, the "Debtors) filed voluntary petitions for reorganization relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (the "Bankruptcy Court").  Since filing their petition, the Debtors have operated as debtors in possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court.  Additionally, as previously disclosed, on September 14, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Second Amended Joint Plan of Liquidation of Circuit City Stores, Inc. and its Affiliated Debtors in Possession and its Official Committee of Creditors Holding General Unsecured Claims dated August 9, 2010 (the "Plan"). 
 
On November 1, 2010 (the "Effective Date"), the Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court executed and final versions of the Liquidating Trust Agreement and Oversight Committee Bylaws.  A copy of the Liquidating Trust Agreement and Oversight Committee Bylaws is filed hereto as Exhibit 99.1.  On the Effective Date, the Debtors' assets were transferred into a liquidating trust (the "Circuit City Stores, Inc. Liquidating Trust") and the terms of the Plan and the Liquidating Trust Agreement began to govern distributions of the Circuit City Stores, Inc. Liquidating Trust's assets to the Debtors' creditors.  Also, on the Effective Date, the Registrant was deemed dissolved under applicable state law and its shares of common stock were deemed cancelled.
 
The Registrant intends to file a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to provide notice of the suspension of their reporting obligation under Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").  Upon filing a Form 15, the Registrant will immediately cease filing any further periodic reports under the Exchange Act.
 
Item 5.02       Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers.
 
On the Effective Date, the members of the Circuit City Stores, Inc. board of directors, Ronald M. Brill, Allen B. King, Don R. Kornstein and James A. Marcum, were deemed to have resigned.
