Months after Big Lots publicly announced signs of trouble, the home goods and seasonal retailer is selling its business as it starts bankruptcy proceedings.

About three months after Big Lots noted "substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue" in a U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission filing, the company said on Monday it has secured $707.5 million to support its operations and sell its business to private equity firm Nexus Capital. This comes as the company has initiated bankruptcy proceedings under Chapter 11.

We are excited to have the opportunity to partner with Big Lots and help return this iconic brand to its status as America's leading extreme value retailer. The Big Lots business has incredible potential and we are confident that its greatest days are ahead," Evan Glucoft, Managing Director of Nexus, said in a statement. Reuters contributed to this report.
